Jesus fucking Christ.
Min 2:50 onward.. An ALL powerful and all future knowing deity would have made his own message to mankind very clear, and not introduced doubt about about the truthful nature of his message to mankind for receiving salvation. It wouldn't need hundreds of versions of Christianity to desperately need to try to explain why these writings, aren't simply just the opinions of pre science men, who wrote Joshua 10:12-13 as science. The Sun doesn't travel in motion over the Earth in the same way as the Moon does, as the bible authors claimed, and as Gallileo and Copernicus's scientific calculations disproved the bible author's writings... Had the bible authors been supernaturally inspired by an all powerful and all knowing deity, they would have described the universe truthfully. It's that simple.
Jesus isn’t even real btw we have a calendar based around some fairytale. It’s absurd.
Jesus is the only all powerful god.
The bible is spiritual. And only people who have the spirit of God understand it. You can't understand the bible on an analytical mind because God is spiritual.
Let people believe whatever they want to believe 💯
Let people believe whatever they want to believe, you are not the truth arbiters. If you believe in God then he will judge you once you die. 🙏
I think the typical view of Delilah was pretty well encapsulated in Run Samson Run, by Neil Sedaka. It’s a clever catchy tune that every guy who feels a girl has done him wrong can wryly see himself in the old story.
If Judith is a hero, then Delilah is also one. Just for the other side.
Neither of these two has much true biblical studies in their group thinking.
Delilah is a member of the Philistine community. It's a safe assumption... or deduction especially since Itself not essential to the purpose in the history. Also, she is deemed as a bad person because of her goal (as the enemy of God's people Israel) and her unscrupulous behaviors. No demonizing, but very humanizing... And Sampson is not portrayed as an Angelic Hero... His flaws are found in the text just as every patriarchs character flaws are very evident... That's one of the textual criticism matters that authenticates the veracity of the texts as historical narrative and not mythology. 😮
Exogesis is drawing out only what is in the text. Exogesis is reading anything into the text. Sometimes more information is found in another book. We must discern between plain facts and possibilities that arise through deductive logic. Those have less authority. Some verses "support" a certain view but are not definitive because it is possible to interpret them reasonably in another way. But there are some verses that substantiate a doctrine or matter because it can only have one meaning. This becomes an issue of both having a sound hermeneutic and that of the more texts a person has studied out and has a good working knowledge. Liberal positors tend to use isogesis often. Conservative scholarship tends towards what can be directly taken from the texts. That is why Conservative commentary doesn't have a wide scope in their interpretations of scriptures yet the liberals are all over the place in their interpretations of scripture especially in the context of prophecy.
*isogesis is reading anything into the texts
Why why why… 🎶
Byzantines are the inhabitants of Byzantium, the city that later was also named Constantinople
We have to grow up out of this stuff.
Samson himself stated "No razor has ever been used on my head"...the emphasis is razor. He never shaved his head. This doesn't mean he never had a hair cut. Seriously? You think Samson went around with 20-30 years of hair growth? I'm amused that you couldn't correctly extrapolate the words of the passage
I think that the "no hair cut" reading can be justified; Judges 13:5 very explicitly states that God proclaims a razor shall "not go up on his head". To me, this would mean that he can never cut his hair, as a razor would be brought upon his head. Additionally, hair will stop growing after 2-6 years, depending on length of hair and genetics. I do see your point and your reading of the text though; I don't think the Hebrew nor the story are clear enough to say, definitively, one way or the other - hopefully you can see where we're coming from!
@@noahjedlicka I understand your point...the 'one size fits all' approach. Yet reality and life is more nuanced than that. Razors, shears and scissors were available in biblical times. Additional context is available to help us understand what the facts are. Shaving one's head was used by Jews to take a Nazirite vow. In Acts 21:24, Paul paid for and participated with other Jews, possibly for the purpose of making a Nazirite vow, to have their heads shaved...I highly doubt they simply had a trim or a crew cut. Samson appears to be the inverse of this custom. As a Nazirite, Samson was NEVER to shave his head. I believe there is adequate evidence to suggest that cutting one's hair length was common practice by Jews while at the same time there is a different and distinct symbology with regards to shaving one's head. Clearly, it appears that shaving one's head is distinct from merely having a trim. Why did God allow Samson to sleep with a prostitute? Was it because he loved her? Yes. He loved her and yet she was unfaithful to him. This is the same story as God's love for Israel and yet Israel was unfaithful to God. Your presenter asserted that the story of Samson and Delilah promotes negative stereotypes of women. I think this is inappropriate. Furthermore, she asserts that looking through the feminist lens Delilah probably didn't have a choice but to betray Samson. Yet there is the wonderful example of the prostitute Rahab who, having the same status as Delilah and a choice, chose to believe in God and protect the Israelite spies. The presenter also mischaracterises Delilah's situation saying she had not choice but to comply with the Philistines or face death. But the text clearly shows that she betrayed Samson three times and yet Delilah was NOT put to death after each failure to subdue Samson. It was only on the fourth time, when Samson told her the truth, that Samson was subdued. So clearly, no threat was made. No threat was perceived by Delilah and no threat was carried out. The presenter supports her position saying the Palestinian woman who Samson previously married had her family burnt to death as somehow demonstrating that refusal to comply meant certain death. At one point it is stated that it was a "no one win situation" for Delilah. This is pure misrepresentation, conjecture and unfounded. In the case of Delilah, unlike the Philistine woman, the presenter failed to state that the Philistines DID NOT threaten Delilah but actually offered her a massive REWARD. Claiming that women in general, or more specifically Delilah, did not have a choice distorts the facts as recorded in the text. I could only watch 25 mins of the video before losing interest due to modern feminism narratives being inculcated into the story of Samson. The male presenter needs to do justice to the truth of the text rather than rolling out the red carpet to modern ideologies and distorting the theme of truth that it conveys. From what I've seen so far, I don't think that the concepts of the perpetual story of God's love, Israel's unfaithfulness, and God's grace and the pursuit of justice were adequately covered. Please respond.
I really love stuff like that to clean yourself make you unclean. Funny, funny stuff😅
Glad you enjoyed
Yeah yeah , there word a great honkin' load of 'em. Lovin' you guys. Happy Heathen who has actually read the book, and some of the others.
That was supposed to be was not word. My phone does this kind of stuff all the time now
Well. we're actually
My first time seeing this site on my menu. Ten Commandments , looking forward to when they get to the ten the tenth!
There it goes my phone that crap in.
Let God be true and every man a liar. Gods word is TRUE. He said we will die when we touched / ate of the tree of good and evil. Our relationship with God, an unbroken pure relationship with no sin.. DIED that second. With no way to be forgiven. Just because he didnt explain your physical body will still exist his warning to us to not touch it remained. Little child do not touch that. No im not going to tell you 1,000 reasons why. Wasnt until sacrafices (old testament) and the grace of God sending his son the pure Lamb of God (new testament) which purified this sin. When the serpent spoke it said you wont surely die. a lie that spoke to us thinking God meant our physical bodies. And sure enough they didnt die... instantly. But it was still a great deception to unbalance us humans against the mighty and true word of God which had a warning for us little children. It opened our eyes to good and evil. yes but severed the most important thing we have. Our relationship with God. Seek Jesus while he may still be found!
More plz
Yet another story in the bible where the woman gets blamed for the downfall of a man.
And it's just as relevant today. There's a difference between blame and fact. Fact is, yeah, Delilah betrayed Samson
@@crikey6981it's a made up story. Written by simple minded men. Female characters in the bible exist to betray, seduce and be submitted. Of course Delilah betrayed Samson. The hero had to fall somehow and the woman is the go-to trigger for that.
*Originally Shamash?* The root of Samson is shemesh (sun) and one could see the hair as a metaphor for the rays of the sun. He loses his hair at night. Delilah (night? Flowing locks of hair?) is his downfall. He loses his senses and power when he sleeps. 🌅 Shamash (sun) was an Assyrian sun god whose position in the sky allowed him to judge. Samson’s final downfall included loss of sight. Shamash was worshipped in Sippar in neo-Babylonian times, even into the Persian period.

The United States was created by religious conflicts. Maryland was Catholics fleeing Church of England. Pennsylvania was Quakers seeking freedom. Puritans were protestants who everyone hated and were later behind exicuting King Charles 1st. The Germans in Pennsylvania were fleeing the 30 years war between Catholics and Protests. This is why our founders agreed Separation of Church and State was necessary.
6:39 pray to no other gods before me. You pray to Jesus first then you can thank some of the lesser gods that’s OK. Because it’s not being done before him. Or it means to do it one at a time don’t worship multiple deities while being in front of him..
I've never seen two beta whiteys get so energized over something so meaningless.... except for that one Pokemon card tourney I saw at the Dungeons and Dragons store. Go outside and touch grass. No one gives a sh*t about this.
What if he named the leviathan sprinkles or patches sounds less threatening till you see it in person 🤷🏽♂️
Very cool video! I love digging into this narrative. There is so much there. I've seen several analysis of just the riddle, everything from numerical values of Hebrew characters to esoteric meaning. I love the book the Lion's Riddle. Even thought it's colored in a fantasy setting, the narrative holds to the story and really helps make Samson understandable, even relatable. It's too bad that screen adaptations tend to be so shallow.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, your video was useful.
Glad it was helpful!
We should trust what god's word says not man's word, simple as.
The problem is the pope making a new ten commandments for mother Earth and expecting us to take it serious.
This fellow has a very partial viewpoint and he only hits half truth.
It is written, Messiah taught his followers to follow the teachings of Moses but not to follow the Pharisees.
Fun fact: All zygotes start out female.
Excellent episode of incredible insights, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Love your channel on scholarship, however please STOP 🛑 talking about sports- that’s not why anyone pre-selects your channel Thank you 👍🏽⚡️🙌🏽☮️
Glad you enjoyed the scholarship and made it through the sports. We are proud Hawkeyes that were really excited about March Madness. But don't worry, we don't always do sports.
Once I found out more about Samson I realized that he was more horny than holy. There is a really good French opera about Samson and Delilah--at the end of the opera Samson really brings the house down!
I DONT CARE IF ANYONE HAS A PHD IN THEOLOGY. THEY DONT KNOW THEIR KJV BIBLE THE TRUE BIBLE AS IT CAME FROM THE TORAH , ANTIOCH. ALL THE OTHERS CAME FROM ROME . ALEXANDRIA. IF YOU DONT DISPENSATE YOU WONT KNOW JACK FROST. meaning you will get in wrong doctrine, wrong teaching, wrong GOSPEL. SEE THE VIDEOS BREAKER HAS MAKE YOUR CHOICE THEN TO SEE IF IT IS TRUTH .
THEN UNDERSTAND DISPENSATION RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH 2nd TIMOTHY.2:15. AND 4 MORE TIMES AN IN APOSTLE PAULS MSG. AND GOSPEL WE ARE TO FOLLOW. GALATIONS 1:6-14. HEBREWS 9;22. 1ST CORITHIANS 15:1-4. by dispensation the 10 commandments are for the jews back then. Church age started with paul in the book of acts after he was saved ACTS 9,: GET MANY VIDEOS BY PASTOR BREAKER HOW TO UNDERSTAND PAULS GOSPEL. KJV VS OTHER BOOKS WHY CHURCHES DONT RIGHTLY DIVIDE . ,WHY PREACHERS DONT PREACH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST ANYMORE. AND MANY MORE . WHAT IS FOR JEWS WHAT IS FOR GENTILES.
Can you please help us to understand who was the intended audience for the list of commandments? Particularly in light of the fact that only males at this time would have to be told not to covet their neighbors wife.
Teach the Bible as historical literature. Teach how special Creation and Noah's Ark and the Flood are demonstrable BS.
Jesus called it "Judea" NEVER Palestine The End
Isn't it bricked up? I know God is glorious. But aren't we supposed to open it so he can come home ?
Me: Yall talking about my bro Noah ?
A lie can travel around the world before the truth can get its boots on.
Indeed
See Abrahamism
Can LA teachers post other lists of commandments? Including from other religions.
*Tanakh Nation-forming covenants* Summary Jeremiah 31:31-34 Covenant after leaving Egypt is invalid; new one coming. There will be no more preaching. Deuteronomy 5:6-22 first covenant written? To endure 1,000 generations Deuteronomy 27:9-26 curses from Mt Ebal. Combined with blessings from Gerizim, these form a contract with Yahweh. The contract establishes Israel as a nation. It is to last forever (Deut 29:29) Exodus 20:1-17 virtually copies Deuteronomy 5 (or vice versa) Exodus 24:12-31:18 First tablets on Mt Sinai, mostly regarding religious trappings Exodus 34:1-28 second set of Sinai tablets and explicitly called the Ten Commandments. “I (Yahweh) am making a covenant with you.” Leviticus 19 contains the Holiness Codes, consisting of about 30 commandments. It is not explicitly a covenant. Deuteronomy 4 Preamble to 5 and its Ten Commandments? 10 Remember the day you stood before Yahweh your Elohe Lord at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.” 11 You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the midst of the skies/Heaven, with black clouds and deep darkness. 12 And Yahweh spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice. 13 He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets. 14 And directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. The first-written version?, Deuteronomy 5 Moshe had gone to see Yahweh at Horeb (also 4:10). The others had been afraid of the fire and didn’t ascend the mountain, but Yahweh still spoke with them face to face somehow (v4-5), altho they saw no form, per 4:11. :7 No other gods before me (not that there are not other gods). D5:11 is consistent with one god for each of the nations mentioned in Genesis 10. :8 Do not make images of anything in the sky, on the land, or in the water, nor bow to to them (because I am jealous). Any likeness could turn into an idol. It doesn’t ban all carving. Decorative swirls, for example were allowed. :11 Do not take the name of Yahweh your elohe in vain, because I (Moses is reminding them of the Covenant) will not hold you guiltless. “In vain” means casually, as in most modern exclamations. :12-15 observe the Sabbath because Yahweh your elohe brought you out of Egypt. Never mind that he ensured you would become slaves in the first place. :16 Honor your father and mother :17 Do not kill (in Numbers 35:27, _rasah_ is explicitly not murder}) :18 do not commit adultery :19 do not steal :20 Do not testify falsely against (an Israelite). _Other lies are not covered._ :21 Do not covet a fellow Israelite’s wife or (other) property. _So the author/Yahweh was addressing Israelite men._ :22 Yahweh had proclaimed these in a loud voice to the whole assembly, then he wrote them on two tablets and gave them to me (Moshe). In Deuteronomy 6-8, Yahweh follows up with blessings and curses and parameters. Deuteronomy 27:9-26 …”On this day you become the people of Yahweh…” So the 12 curses in D27 and the blessings and curses in D28 are a nation-forming covenant. D27 and D28 have different formats… thus different authors? Deuteronomy 29:29 implies that the above covenant is eternal. Version 2, Exodus 20, repeating Deut 5 Exodus 20 :1-2 Elohim introduced himself as “YHWH your elohe.” :3 No other gods (Elohim) before me :4-5 engrave no images of anything in the skies, on the land, or in the water under the land nor serve or bow down to them, because so am your god :6 Don’t take the name of Yahweh your Elohe in vain or Yahweh will not hold you guiltless (referring to himself in the third person seems like an awkward rewrite of Deuteronomy 5:11). :8-11 Honor the Sabbath because Yahweh created in 6 days and tested on the 7th. (In Deuteronomy 5:12-15, it was in remembrance of exiting Egypt). :12 Honor your father and mother :13 Do not kill :14 Do not commit adultery :15 do not steal :16 do not testify falsely against your fellow Israelite :17 Do not covet your fellow Israelite’s house, wife, or other property (Continues ) :22 Versions 3 and 4 In Exodus 24-34 form a larger story first tablets, Exo 24-32 Sinai Exodus 24:12-16 Yahweh tells Moshe to come up to Mountain of the Gods {Har Ha Elohim}, aka Mt Sinai. 24:18 Moshe on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights (other numerology links this excursion to Creation, too) Exodus 25-31 contains the remainder of the 40 days of rule-giving Exodus 31:12-17 Death penalty for working on or otherwise desecrating the Sabbath. In Numbers 15:32-36, this is fatally applied. Exodus 31:18 Yahweh gave Moshe two tablets written by the finger of Elohim. 32:16 the (first) tablets were the work and the writing of Elohim. 32:19 Moshe broke the first set of holy tablets. Exodus 33:6-7 The Israelites were at Mt Horeb, but Moshe is back at Sinai by 34:4 Second Tablets, also explicitly The Ten Commandments, Exodus 34 Exodus 34 :1 Yahweh instructs Moshe to chisel out 2 new tablets like the first ones and Yahweh will write the same words as on the first set. *They are not the same.* :4 Second set of tablets taken to Sinai. :10 I (Yahweh) am making a covenant with you. :11-16 No treaties with local nations. Yahweh will kill or make homeless 6 nations as his part of the deal :17 Do not make any idols :18 Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in remembrance of exiting Egypt. :19-20 The firstborn of every womb belongs to Yahweh :21 Rest on the Sabbath :22 Celebrate the Festival of Weeks :23 Appear before {Ha adon Yahweh, elohe Yisra-El} 3 times annually :25 Sacrifice rules :26 Bring the best of first fruits to the house of Yahweh :26 Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk :28 The above are the *“ten words/commandments”* that Moshe was to write on the tablets (contradicting 34:1 as to the writer and the content) See separate note: “Leviticus 19”, with about 30 commandments Other covenant scenarios The first? Hosea 11:1 I (YHWH^) fell in love with Israel when he was still a child and have called him my son ever since Egypt. _(per Hosea 3:1 and 4:1)_ In 11:7, altho Yahweh seems to distinguis himself from El. “And though they call on El, none exalt him.”, it could be Yahweh referring to himself in the 3rd person (verse 9). Hosea 12:10 I Yahweh have been your god since the land of Egypt. Hosea 13:4 Only I, Yahweh, have been your god since the land of Egypt
Just wait till they start asking questions about why Matthew chapter 28, Mark chapter 16, and Acts chapter 10 and 11 don't seem to square with each other.
I see some confusion in Mr. Jones' mind @12:06...regarding the first record of the Decalogue in Exodus, and the second writing regarding the Fourth Commandment, trying to make an argument for an alleged contradiction in the Bible. What he is not seeming to consider is the historical culture behind these two writings. The original 10 were written on Mt. Sinai as recorded in Exodus, and explains how the Sabbath goes back to the beginning of creation, i.e., it is not a culturally "new idea" for the Hebrews. As we know, Deuteronomy simply means "repetition", therefore when they are re-recorded in that book, instead of simply repeating the Exodus writings word-for-word, the thought from Exodus is simply expanded to remind the Hebrews how they were also slaves in Egypt where they had no privileges, to the point now where God is totally giving them this special day of rest at that time. Since the original 10 were written on stone tablets to be accurately recorded in Exodus, they did not "evaporate" with this writing on parchment in Deuteronomy. They compliment each other.
