Sir, I hear many charismatic Christians use the phrase "binding in the name of Jesus" especially in terms of their version of exorcism (deliverance sessions). Although I am aware that Jesus mentioned "binding the strong man" in Matthew, I'm beginning to suspect that this Protestant ritual demonstrably derives from the Solomonic Magic traditions of Roman Catholicism. Can someone help me gather more evidence regarding this? Thank you in advance!@@TheEsotericaChannel

(1 Sam. 8:4-6) Seeing the unsuitability of Samuel’s sons, the Israelites ask him to “appoint for us, then, a king to govern us, like other nations.” This request displeases Samuel . Samuel warns the people that kings lay heavy burdens on a nation.( Sam. 8:10-17 ) In fact, the kings would be so rapacious that eventually the people would cry out to God to save them from the kings (1 Sam. 8:18). Yahweh agrees that asking for a king is a bad idea because it amounts to a rejection of Yahweh himself, as king. Nonetheless, the Lord decides to allow the people to choose their form of government, and he tells Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them" (1 Sam. 8:7). As biblical scholar John Goldingay notes, "God starts with his people where they are; if they cannot cope with his highest way, he carves out a lower one. When they do not respond to the spirit of Yahweh or when all sorts of spirits lead them into anarchy, he provides...the institutional safeguard of earthly rulers." Sometimes God permits institutions that are not part of his eternal purpose, and the monarch of Israel is one of the most glaring examples .

I love listening to this channel as you open up different topics and perspectives on ancient and medieval history, philosophy, and culture. It’s a field I find fascinating, and where I know just enough to know that I barely know anything at all. When I was a child, I attended Bible camps in the summer. They were mostly summer camps with a lick of religion painted over the top; but some times the camps hired my Irish grandfather to conduct Bible classes. Usually these classes were superficial and boring, but when they had my grandfather come in, he would conduct the classes outdoors, sitting on the ground, his back to a big pine tree, and he would just narrate Bible stories (mostly from the Torah, occasionally from the New Testament) aloud, without reading from texts or notes, like a bard converted by Saints Patrick or Columba. When he got to a key point he would just break into a poem from the Bible that related to the story-the Song of Deborah, when telling stories from Judges, or the Song of the Sea when telling the story of the Exodus. Anyway, your channel reminds me of those times. Not in terms of style, but in the depth of your knowledge, the enthusiasm and energy you give us, and the gentleness and generosity of the way you share your work with us. I don’t know why this was on my mind today as I listened, but it was, and I wanted to share it with you, and to thank you for the gift of your sharing. Peace, brother. ✌️

One of the most fascinating topics I came across while doing a read through over the entire Bible. I remember the Book of Kings repeatedly saying something like “and the rest of the deeds of king so and so are to be found in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel” and I just assumed it was referring to the canonical Chronicles. Then I read Chronicles and couldn’t find such things. Came to find out it was referring to a completely different book! Thank you for covering this Dr. Sledge!

🧠The retrospectively obvious insight that "the Bible" is fundamentally a library of diverse texts, diverse theologically, diverse of genres, from a massive stretch of time, etc, etc...is absolutely mindblowing to me no matter how obvious it seems in hindsight. 🤯 Fantasy authors (and D&D DMs) should be picking up calling sacred texts The X Library or The Library of X or what have you.

Love when we get to see how fluent you are in these texts and their hostories. Absolutely illuminating! So much is lost without proper context. 16:59

I was definitely not expecting to hear the Hi Ho song in a discussion on ancient Hebrew texts! 🤣 Your sense of humour is delightful, and I love learning new things from your videos! Mythology is one of my biggest special interests, with Biblical study and religious study being in a bit of a secondary category. I'd love to see a future video on comparing Biblical myths to even older Sumerian and Canaanite myths, showing the similarities and places where they diverge from each other.

You sir are a hero! Thanks for all the work you do.

Absolutely and intensely good. I spend little time improving my Greek and Hebrew and it's always a pleasant surprise how even a bit of time spent on them each week makes lessons like this one even more rewarding for the efforts. Thank you as always.

I find "lost" books from various religions to be utterly fascinating. It's so interesting to try and understand how they were similar or, more interesting, how they go against the words that have been collected.

Wow… what a cool channel! Thanks for all your hard work researching. One thing that really “spooked me” was the realization/confirmation I had when you said something along the lines of (paraphrasing) “When this ancient scripture was written, the lost texts referenced were ancient to THEM,” It really just confirms the idea that we as a species can try so hard to keep a record of time, but ultimately have “amnesia” due to lost texts/records of events. It makes one wonder how far back our history really goes, and if one day we will find a treasure trove revealing so much, that we maybe wish we hadn’t found it. I agree with you, Mother Earth hasn’t revealed all of her secrets about our ancestral“childhood” just yet. Hopefully we can discover something like that before it’s truly lost to time. Very fitting of you to drop a small HP Lovecraft reference. Sometimes truth truly is stranger than fiction!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to take as much Hebrew Bible during my M.A. as I would have liked, but what I did take talked a good deal about the Dead Sea Scrolls (the professor had worked on some Dead Sea Scroll texts over spring break the semester I took his class...that's a story in itself!)...but, there was never any mention of what you discussed here! The Synoptic Gospels class I took began with the professor saying, "I don't think you can understand the Synoptics unless you understand things like the Q Gospel, the Gospel of Thomas, and various other non-canonical texts," and I was excited by this (alas, not all of my classmates were, which is another story!). But non-Dead Sea Scrolls texts that are referred to in the Hebrew Bible, or are pseudepigraphal? Nope, not a word. So, needless to say: thanks a million for doing this episode, and I look forward to more related to these topics, and whatever else you decide to discuss! :)

It's odd this aspect isn't talked about more. Though, I don't think you really need to understand the Thomas before the Synoptics - Thomas, like all the 'gnostic' gospels are a bit later.

The Synoptics professor--a Catholic priest from South Africa--answered, "If you believe that, that's fine; but for our purposes, that idea is not a sufficient basis for discussion." On another occasion in that class, one of my classmates (who had been pretty open-minded initially when he started in the department at the same time I did) said before class began, "Are you ready for another day in this class of having your faith undermined by what we're forced to read and discuss?" I smiled and said, "Sure!" and hoped I would not have to follow up with "My faith isn't undermined by anything we're learning...since it doesn't actually exist for the theological matters you're referring to," but luckily I didn't have to voice that follow-up and lose even more friends in the program by doing so.

There was continuous war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. That hitpael להתיחש (יחש√) means "enroll into a genealogy," so my guess is that it was a Solomonic dynastic annal of some kind.

It is so easy to be duped by people who claim to be experts, and a lot of is just getting worse with random texts being self-published anonymously. I do find them entertaining to read, but I choose not to base my belief systems on them. Great video!

Well done, doctor. I’ll be subscribing!!

The interactions with the Satan I've had confirmed to me the view of 'prosecuting attorney' is very correct.

Good stuff. I really need to start a book collection.

Thank you, Dr Sledge!

Excellent video! The thumbnail had me hooked and the content didn’t fall short either. I’m Almost done reading the “library of the Bible” and it’s interesting to hear you point out histories little whispers of other literature haha

Can you do a video next about Rosicrucianism? Or if one has already been done can somebody link it here? Thanks and keep up the great work, Justin!

Love the piano intro. ❤Cheers.

As always, thank you for your teachings

Thanks for another great video.

Oh my god I knew this was going to be amazing.

I love this channel, well done.

More brilliant work! I'm doing my first read through of the (Catholic) Bible right now and all of your videos are so cherished! More books on the reading pile at the end of every video! Lol.

Great video as always
