At least that is the interpretation that’s been taught for some 2K years now. I am not as knowledgeable of the Jewish teaching of the verse.

Studying it and KNOWING it are two different things. Two decades is a JOKE when it comes to the Bible. Scholars who spent their ENTIRE LIFE in the word are still learning where they were wrong on things, learning new things etc. So thinking that 2 lousy decades makes a person infallible, all knowing, beyond mistakes and beyond ever being wrong about anything just shows your ignorance. Besides, the Spirit of the Lord constantly is revealing NEW things. So when an atheist who doesn't have the Spirit acts as though he knows it all in the Bible, that's when I REALLY laugh!!!

That isn't to say they didn't knock off the book from scratch, just shown the -el ending doesn't fit. Actually there is a really good non religious documentary on the writing of the old testament in which they apply archaeology, science, and writing styles found in the bible to back up the conclusion they make that the final version of the OT was likely compiled by 3 different individuals around the time the Jews were in Babylon and that it was compiled from smaller scraps of writings, examples of which have been found going back to the earliest version of Hebe script. Actually a really interesting doc and done on a purely historical basis which neither promotes not attempts to refute what the book asserts.

The irony, cowardes and dishonesty is staggering. They sum up by pointing out that slavery was common at that time and place and that god chose to put down rules about owning slaves instead of opposing it directly.

Actually putting the verses in the annotations, I'm impressed.

So can the "context" be used to dismiss every description of sin in the Bible? Perhaps the passages on homosexuality also have "context" that makes them irrelevant--or is "context" only allowed to be used as an apology for the parts of the Bible you disavow, and not the actions you are giddy to judge? Can these Christians take a yellow highlighter to all sections of the Bible that have "context" and can be ignored, and then use another color to show the sections that are the unerring literal word of God so that we know which is which? According to them, it's all God's words, but somehow they know what he meant and didn't mean and they are qualified to interpret the word of God--even as they are allegedly being literal and fundamental. They can seemingly have the morals be absolute and relative, be both literal and open to interpretation and "context."

Watching theists spin their mental wheels trying to apologize and justify the Bible is awkward and funny. You can hear the conflict when they know they’re caught.

The best way to figure out how to be a “true Christian” and “read the Bible correctly” is to subjectively interpret the Bible in the way you feel is correct and aligns with your preferences.

World champion in mental gymnastics is Stefan from Brooklyn.

If anyone has any questions about just why the Human race is so violent and war torn, all they have to do is read the bible. It's SUCH a shame that the human race was abducted by these terrible ideologies, because if we had not been, then we may have already found life on other planets and we wouldn't have so much misery and suffering. All a person has to do is take a look at the state of mankind and compare it to what the bible teaches, and it's clear why we are a violent war like species of animal.

When they bring up free will you could respond with the following: An action that one person performs with their free will, can deny someone else's free will. You could use an example of a serial killer murdering someone. God allows the serial killer to have the free will to murder someone, but this same action denies and disregards the free will of the person being murdered. Therefore God's system of allowing free will is faulty. You could also argue that there are certain situations where denying someone the ability to do something is more moral than letting them do it, for example stopping someone when they are about to cross the road because they haven't seen a car coming.

Christianity would agree God did know what mankind (Adam & Eve) would do. He could have simply not created us then. Fortunately (I think) He instead created us, allowing our fall, and set a plan of restoration for each and everyone. Of course this is as it has always been; a choice of our own free will. Many such as I once did will deny His very existence. Many others will never even seek to find. That is also our choice to make. The Kingdom of God could not exist without such a choice. Peace to all!

Ian Alan And why, pray tell, couldn't "the Kingdom of God" exist without such a choice? God is either omnipotent, or he isn't. Also, where do you get your information?

I don’t care if they believe that God condoned slavery… but at least be honest about what your holy book says.

what first caused me to abandon my faith in christianity, and become atheist was the week I decided to abandon my label as an independant fundamentralist baptist, and be a nondenominational christian and reread the new testament with an open mind and rely on prayer to understand the proper interpretation. the result wa, that it was clear to me because of the contradictions in the doctrines concerning salvation, then i realized thinkng back of the old testament of how clear it was that the bible wno more credible than any other religion. now 2 years later after all that I have learned and realized about the world(earth) itself, and the history of us humans and realized everything concerning theology has been made up all along, and the errors in the claims in the bible have more more merit for truth about reality than even greek mythology. ancient barbaric egotistical men made it all up and the claims about reality in these scriptures shows that no god ever influenced any of it.

Matt and aron. Tough luck for the callers

No matter how many people like Aronra and Matt there are, great free thinkers, great speakers, great people all around we will never be able to exercise the demon of religion from the minds of our species. We are a species with such promise, such capability yet we squander it killing each other over fairy tales and bedtime stories. It truly and deeply saddens me to come to this realization that religious people don't want to inhabit reality, they don't want the peace that they claim they stand for as they violently suppress dissenting opinions and other groups their god doesn't like for whatever reason. I have tried to help a lot of people to see through this delusion and they refuse to stop running in circles through their taught "arguments". Their eyes glass over and they stare into space, they have the glossy eyed stare of a manikin, a programmed animatronic creature with no real life just the electricity of fear that animates them.

Hello, it seemed relevant when I wrote it. I am reading all the comments and listening to the show. I am new to this and am astounded by the callers and fascinated by the hosts. In 'real life' the disagreements are not necessary as they cause unrest, although this does not stop preachers. This is a public forum FOR debate. Of course we are rarely going to agree.

There is just some stuff you can't take out of context or misinterpret.

If you read the bible the way you'd read any other book on morality, it becomes the very best path to atheism. the only way to keep your faith after reading the bible is to shut off your entire brain and sense of decency.

"Atheism is all about denying a super human intervention in human life, and this is exactly what the Vedas say when they describe God as opinionless and attributeles." -- Gurudev

If the only way to truly understand your religious is by utterly devoting your time to deciphering it's text, then you cannot fault anyone for not believing it. If this is the supposed way, the truth and the light, then it should be obvious to anyone from even the most casual of observations. You can't gate keep a religion while still trying to entice newcomers!

His Life Science series is outstanding, especially the latest one on abiogenesis

"3.a person employed to manage another's property, esp. a large house or estate a person whose responsibility it is to take care of something." That is the definition which fits the type of servant described in the quoted verse. It's specifically named in the verse, the parable states DIRECTLY if a master takes leave, and leaves his servant in charge of the estate, then gives parable of good servant/bad servant. In general; a person left in charge of duties above their own authority.

Most people these days would agree abusing a child is one of the most heinous of crimes yet not only does the God of the Bible not condemn it but actually promotes it in places yet worries about what fabrics people wear or what they eat.

Stefan is a liar.

Michael Dennis The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. (Psalm 14)

The analogy is meant to point out that just because being good may produce bad results, doesn't justify being bad, or not being good. If you're already logically convinced that being good is the way to be, you shouldn't allow yourself to be convinced otherwise, just because some people may take advantage of your kindness, mistake it as weakness, and/or because situations in the past haven't been beneficial. If its a question of morality, results are irrelevant, morality isn't about profit.

Many theists do the same thing, I'm guilty of doing it in the past, and I'm sure presently and in the future as well, and I truly appreciate when someone is able to actually point out a fallacy in my reasoning because it helps be better my position as a whole by removing the invalid portions and stripping it down to purely logical and valid reasoning. like any theory in science, it evolves and adapts over time as more information becomes available. You should always be open to all views.

~ Nine years later, and the callers are still just as silly, and just as entertaining, and just as generally cringe-worthy. Segregationists in the USA circa the 1950s and 1960s always used the bible as justification for segregation and Jim Crow and other such things. History, truth, reason, logic, common sense, research, the scientific method - concepts that are, from these videos, not intrinsic to much of humanity. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

@Artiom Andreev Tell me what science book is destroying Darwinism, they argue about some points and how heredity works,... WOW! As I've said: " the typical ignorant believer, who can not be reasoned with"

What I meant by the "is that relevant" question, is when you personally consider what is morally righteous, that doesn't change because other people have done bad things in the past, or even exploited that specific moral belief. If its good to give money to the poor, does it make it not good or bad if someone fakes being homeless to scam people? If you're nice to someone and they take advantage, does that justify not being nice to people? This is the mentality I was attempting to convey.

16) I don't see it as 'my' rules... just the rules for convincing someone of something they don't believe in. People lie all the time, and if you want to convince someone of something extraordinary, you need more than just your word. I disagree with the latter half of your post. People can have insight through psychology, experience, and/or life. And they can be wrong. I think seeing something inside someone is just common insight, not proof of divine revelation.

I love the show, but... come on! You know there's no way anyone can bring up a valid argument for their religious beliefs. You _already know_ it's bullshit. So why be so upset? Just push the guy into a logical corner to give him a chance of realizing he's getting into a contradiction, and explain to him that when this happens it's because the premises are wrong, contradictory in the first place or just patently false. Don't get me wrong. I think you're doing a great service and I love that you're so well educated an all. Sometimes I just wish you didn't take it so personally.

The problem we have is that demolishing religious arguments doesn't change people's opinions. When did you ever hear one say "Wow, that's a good point. I might have to re-think my beliefs" ? They just keep on repeating the same (or similar) stuff.

It DOES change their delusions. Some may have never understood this before Some may need to hear it 100 times before they are able to begin reasoning again. Even Matt was deluded once, he admits it and has clearly stated that he wished that someone could have informed him of reality much sooner. Helping to guide theists away from their delusional feelings is worth it. Although I agree they make funny clowns for us to laugh at their nonsense beliefs.

@@thorpenator9148 Oh, I have much to learn actually. There are resources thankfully. It was not until after the Apostolic period that distortions began to creep into the religion of Jesus Christ. Prior to that there was very little debate of doctrine and theology and the little there was resolved with ecumenical council. It was not until 1054AD that such disputes created schism. The doctrine as was taught from the beginning is still available for anyone to learn though. We still have the writings of the Apostolic Church fathers who studied under the Apostles themselves and a plethora of writings from their their disciples known as the early Church fathers. This theology is still taught today in the Orthodox, Wesleyan, and several other apostolic Churches. I have listened to both Matt and Aron enough to assure you they stand in contradiction to what has always and still is Christian theology. Those that are willing to commit atrocity in the name of Jesus Christ? That blood will be on their heads and you should not blame an organization for the actions of some members, or in other cases, those who portray themselves as such. Peace to you and yours!

Just wanted to say that not only does this guy on the left make an amazing argument, his hair is just faaaaaabulous

Which verses in Exodus 31 mentions Moses and the preteen slaves? Just want to take note of it for future discussions.

I stopped being a Christian when I read the Bible. God sure does make a lot of mistakes for an all-knowing being. That and how if the Bible is true, Christianity started unraveling right after Jesus left. The apostles start arguing about what they believe, so they separate and make up their own rules for churches they found.

Matt and Aron. Tag Team Champions of the World.

I wish they would have combated his argument. He was stating that the stuff on slavery was the laws of Moses and not the morality from God. All they had to do was point out that it isn't moral to allow slavery just as it isn't moral to steal or kill or any of God's ten commandments. God could have easily had eleven commandments, but good apparently didn't find it morally wrong ENOUGH to warrant letting us know...

Nothing specifically pertaining to the video but, I'm 64 years old. I had a heart attack and triple bypass surgery 5 years ago. I think about dying all the time. But, not in a scared way. I just wonder what thoughts will be going through my mind, my last few minutes "on earth" as they say. And then, I also think about Christians, and their last thoughts. And immediately after they die, how they no longer have any thoughts. So, how can they know if they went to Heaven? I mean, we ( sensible people) all know that dead animals no longer have the ability to form thoughts. Do people have a soul? I find that hard to believe. But, if people have a soul, then I would think animals would also have souls. But the bible doest really elaborate on peoples pets (for me,dogs) going to heaven. After all, if your dog doesn't worship Jesus, how can it go to heaven? That seems like bullshit right there. If all the dogs I've ever owned don't go to heaven, I'm not going either! Even if there was a heaven.

Yeah, I had the same thought. And that, to me, makes It even more likely that It was all made up. I mean, if you were to invent some sort of God, so that you can control people by sending threats of eternal torture (to everybody who does things differently than how you tell them to do) ... Would you care about animals? No. But I personally would expect a real God to think about that. I Think christians just look at the fact that God would have chosen them among every other animal, which was just to be subjugated if wished.

7) Blindness affects all of us to varying degrees. The Bible's comment about non-believers is part of the con I mentioned earlier. It's meant to convince believers they have "The Truth", as you do in this very post. Let's turn it around, in hopes you'll understand. You don't believe in Zeus. That's because you don't want to. You are in rebellion against Zeus, and just want to be free from his wrath. You are not. Zeus is real whether you believe or not. Deep down, you know Zeus is real.
