- Did you know that the Bible endorses slavery? Every society needs laws. But if we claim that our laws came from God, how can we hope to ever change them for the better?
Watch the interview with Ari Melber for @MSNBC's The Beat: bit.ly/YNHTheBeat (recorded in November 2023).
#society #laws #god #slavery
It should be common sense but still deserves to be explained so clearly. Thank you.
And don't forget, those slaves were only 3/5th of a human
Can you explain you comment?
During the writing of the constitution population determined how many electoral votes, and even though black people couldn't vote as slaves. they did contribute to their electoral college votes by being calculated as only 3/5 of a human being.@@lovetruth5518
Thank you Yuval for sharing your thought. I'm a Christian and I always appreciate thinking over other people's view. In my view, the Bible does not endorse slavery. It pinpoints it as a result of human's corruption. Some other parts of the Bible show that. However, the God displayed in the Bible is a God that meets people where they are. If the society to which He talks to cooperates according to a slavery system, then God would speak accordingly so everybody is on the same page to understand each other. This does not necessarily mean God endorse human organizations and politics.
Insightful 💯

The Bible neither endorses slavery nor condemns it. All it says is, as a slave owner, how to treat your slaves. As a slave, how you are to act towards your owner. In both cases, it is with respect. Now, with respect to Yuval, the commandment 'do not covet...whatever...' , means the Israelites were not to desire, long for, or set their hearts on anything that belonged to anyone else. Yuval is coveting by desiring you to set your heart on questioning God's wisdom.
This comment I could not post elsewhere under this vid as it got deleted immediately, it only works as a comment on a comment:
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
"All it says is, as a slave owner, how to treat your slaves." DUDE, you should'na had slaves in the first place!!!! DOH! The fact that a true God would turn a blind eye to that just endorses the fact that God was created in Mans image. A real Double-sham boogie!
@@heterodoxx5300Did you know the ‘H’ in Jesus H Christ stands for Haploid?
As God has judged their sin appropriately, whether they were a salve or slave owner, or neither. As he will judge you for your sins. Don’t mistake your perceived lack of response from God as a reason for His none existence. While not necessarily scriptural, it has been said, the mill of God turns very slowly, but it grinds exceedingly small.
We may not have the power to change the commandments, but we do have the ability to interpret them as we see fit -- say, in light of changing social norms. That reinterpretation process is our form of amending / adapting the commandments to our current era.
You want to reinterpret God's word to fit how you think you should live...a nd that's how your "God" works? You must be a Yahud 🕎
I think that I have finally understood what it means to be...........A GOD. (and why some say that it's so difficult to be one. why ? I always wondered. everyone knows God/s have amazing superpowers allowing them to do all kinds of stuff after all).
CZcams video "Populous The Beginning Soundtrack (Full)" from minute 3:54 to 9:20.

Exactly. That's why what you said in your awesome book about religions being the same as nations, money, states or companies and vice versa was wrong. You can argue if a national tradition makes people progress or happy or unhappy or whatever and then change it if needed. The same goes for states governments, companies and money. This happens bc unlike all those things religions are based in an untouchable supernatural order way beyond any human skill or capacity to change or improve it if needed. It's the eternal unquestionable will of God or whatever and no one can do nothing about it. Those who even try are instantly branded as blasphemers and get heavily punished leading everything to stagnate. Contrary to progress stagnancy makes people depressed and unhappy. I listened you. Thanks you for listening. Me. Thanks to communication.
Indeed
I see an anti christ priest in the video.
true
The Hebrew term for slave, 'eved (pl. 'avadim), is a direct derivation from the verb ʿbd, "to work"; thus, the "slave" is only a worker or servant.
Don't you have work to do at West Hollywood serving your people benzona 😂
יובל שלום : , תספר לי בבקשה כיצד אתה חותך עוגה עגולה לשבע חתיכות שוות ?
it actually doesn't endorse slavery, it just tells you to not covet their slaves
9th commandment;-It tells you to not do sorcery, which can put you into slavery. Remember that! It can be hypnosis, I was a slave to that! The Ten Commandments is very valid today and always will be. GOD IS NEVER WRONG!
Neighbours means the whole world as bros and sis. Witchcraft is so valid as the word soothsayers/ spell-bounds. The Catholic Church Exorcists talk about this. Spells eg:- to put on men to be a witches husbands its a type of slavery mate. I could not leave my partner and I tried many many times. My mother had put a spell on me to stay with him. Thanks be to GOD!
It kind of does because the 10th Commandment states "You shall not desire your neighbour's house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour” (Deut 5:21), which implies that, in G-d's eyes, a person can own another person as property just like all the other items in the list. If slavery was immoral in G-d's view, then slaves would not belong to the category of things that a person can own in the first place. This is the reason there is no rule to not to covet your neighbor's impressive idol shrine or same-sex lover - no one needs to be told this because their neighbor isn't allowed to have them in the first place according to the Bible.
Read 1 Timothy 1:9-11. The New Testament condemns slave trading. I'm tired of these lying )ews slandering Christianity.
@@truthseeker3967 yes and how about the book of Philemon where Paul literally asks to release a slave and have mercy. That was unheard of in these times. Jesus Christ is the breaker of chains!
@@heterodoxx5300 Amen! I never thought of that. I forget about Philemon.
Will you have a debate with Jordan Peterson
I am afraid JBP would be blabbering about god there. He doesn't really prepare for his debates. As can be seen in his debate with Zizek
Yes, discussion between Harari and Peterson could be so beneficial for humankind. Harari and Peterson are the leading thinkers of our times in the development of new worldviews. And their worldviews seem so different. My hope would be that they would find some common ground and more precisely identify their differences. Peterson in more recent years has been trying with some success to have respectful dialogues-rather than debates- with other thinkers who have secular/atheistic views (Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris…). My hope is that Harari will do the same.
Jordan is too bright,
down to earth realistic relatively to this man Harary.
Why should he talk with that Anti-Woke Priest?
@@iche9373 you mean we should never ever consider talking with someone who doesn't support everthing the politically correct woke crows peaches?
Thank you for your intelligent and reasonable take. I am sure you arrived at that idea through your own mind and didn't just parrot it from some thought leader
11th is comming as centralized consiousness
"....but these commandments go up to eleven. See when you get to ten, where can you go? This way you can go one higher!""
Please dont mention my dear ox. I was born in the year of the ox. I enjoy it when you talk about a serious topic only throw in a monkey wrench by mentioning an animal say, giraffe, ect..
Saying that, I believe you have good points and that is a good thing coming from you. It is an extremely serious situation that needs to be brought out into human’s evolution and that is something that nurtures my soul as an individual
The constitution is also very difficult to change and the electoral college and life-time tenure of the supreme court justices will NEVER BE ABOLISHED - exactly the 2 "commandments" which have caused the nightmare we are experiencing now.
Zeus, Christ, Allah and his messenger Muhammad, Budha (well ok, this last one is not a God but still....) and so many others. Leaving a side them incredible superpowers which curiously we humans are slowly (yet also incredibly) achieving thanks to Science, scientists and their equations and inventions, all of those prophets and/or deities had (or have if they are still worshiped today) in common that they were/are able to enter inside the collective consciousness of many, many, many people for a long, long, long time (some even till today) in a very, very, good, good way (lots of individuals thinking good things about them). Not an easy task no doubt (hence the difficulty which I didn't understood to be one ). In a way it could be said that all of them controlled (or control if they are still worshiped nowadays) the very thoughts, feelings and actions of those who followed/trusted them bc the ones who did/do so ended/end up acting and behaving like those Gods and their prophets wanted people to behave obtaining in the process one of their greatest superpowers indeed (which sadly sometimes turned into supercorruption like so often happens with regular power). That's why is commonly known that if the followers of a certain religion stop supporting, following, trusting, worshiping, praising (always avoid beLIEve or faith and just think, hope, know, ignore, imagine or remember instead) their God/s that religion and its God/s simply disappear into oblivion.
So, do you wanna enter the collective consciousness of many people for many years in a very good way ? Do you wanna live on forever in the heart of many people ? Do you wanna transcend ? Do you wanna become............ GODS ? (well, only God-like enities without superpowers, therefore save from supercorrupting others or you yourselves). Ah forget it, spare me the answer will you ? We already have (each one of us in our own way. mainly, though not only, thanks to internet and writing I admit). Well done. Well, at least now, after so many movies about them nonsensical new messiahs and antichrists alike (Dune, Immaculate, etc.) you finally know which kind I am. You all can finally rest at night. If you still are not sure here a hint: CZcams video "Dungeon Keeper Soundtrack (Full)" first soundtrack. Have fun. I'm already. HHHOOOOUUUUMMM. Sorry but let's be honest: We all know where the hot women are. Not to mention that I don't know much about them blasphemies and stuff but saying that anyone working hard for it has the chance to become a God (or God-like individual at least) just as Bob Marley sang in his Get up Stand Up song or just like the guild of Godsmen in the Plane Escape Torment videogame proposed it has to be a heresy of somekind yes or yes.
Oh, and speaking of hot women, I think I shall gather them all in one place and see what happens. Just kidding. If I would something tells me everything would end like CZcams video "Populous 3 The Beginning - The Armageddon Spell". Anyways, with or without me, always remember:..............TAKA !! (or Shaka-Shaka or Vonaga if you prefer) (whatever the @@@ that means). What really matters is that it @@@ rocks !! Just like anyone else (except unlawful evil criminals of course).
Well, good-bye to you you God of endless questions. Hope everything wil be alright with you. Past the three damn months of pink magic.
Tell one person who owned a slave in the new testament
No one alive can say whether they did or not. Certainly, it was ok for them to do so according to the 10 commandments
@@francinecamerini357 no, it doesn't say slavery is ok. it says coveting their slaves is wrong
Onesimus was a slave, and a believer (Philemon 1)

===> We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for SLAVE TRADERS and liars and perjurers- AND FOR WHATEVER ELSE IS CONTRARY TO THE SOUND DOCTRINE THAT CONFORMS TO THE GOSPEL concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Beauregard T Clayton.
The ten commandments were given directly to Moses by God himself. Not even through divine inspiration through the holy spirit like it was given to other prophets before and after the son 9f God was revealed in the flesh to us. So to say they were out of human imagination is pure blasphemy Mister Harari. You will have to answer to Jesus Christ of Nazareth when you die
' Calling themselves wise, they became fool's. - Holy Bible -
Yuval states the obvious.
Perfect for those oblivious.
You say the Bible is rigid as ants or bees. Not so (well, ok, maybe almost as rigid as ants or bees but not as much as them). Take a look at the old testament and compare it with the new testament. My, my even God himself changed to hateful to lovely. Why I wonder. Just this once I don't wonder (it's so sweet being free to wonder that it's difficult not to. getting the correct answers it's just a nice addon). I know. It was bc of real facts. The solid fact that in the beginning literally everyone behaved like literal ruthless savages with everyone else. That was unsustainable and deserved punishment. Later on, curiously (sarcasm) things improved. People started to behave more civilizedly and God stopped being so hateful and curiously (sarcasm) was full of love. Hah. We simply do what we need to do to adapt and survive. Like ants and bees. Maybe in a century or so there will be an even newer testament which will be more tolerant with gays or will allow priests to be married therefore decreasing the number of @@@ children.
Wauw. So many lies. I checked within the Bible, God does not command slavery. As a matter a fact, He instructs the people of Israël to free their slaves in the 7th year . Also , the slaves had rights , and the people they worked for had to treat them with respect. Laws were made in order to create order. And stop people from committing crimes. Another thing : what is your obsession with the God in the Bible ? You only attack Y.H.W.H. that's weird man.
THE NEW TESTAMENT CONDEMNS SLAVE TRADING.

You got any references there or you just makin stuff up like the guy who wrote the bible?
You're right, and if the "master" broke a tooth, he had to free the slave. That is how big a deal a broken tooth was.
@@ceeemm1901 first of all : that woulb be about 40 guys from Kings to fishermen proclaiming one God , all of them, reagardless of the foreign culture these men live in , they stay truthfull to this God. Over centuries of time. You want truth ? You can't handle the truth. And if you claim you can : read Scripture. Proof me wrong.
1. “Endorse” does not mean “command”. 2. The Bible only puts limitations on how to treat slaves from the same nation, but allowed and even encouraged buying slaves from other nations living among them, or capturing them from nations that there was war with. The reason for that is that slavery was part of how societies functioned then.
Fortunately, societies have evolved, and most people now are horrified by the idea of slavery (though it still subsists in various forms, legal and illegal).
Brilliant and so clearly explained!
Wrong.

BTW, the slavery in the Old Testament was the 7 year indebtedness where a person who could not pay debts - he and his family would work for that period, and then after their would be no more servitude. I don't the intricacies of it.
But note that Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world.
