God: “Did I mention I was mighty? ‘Cause I was mighty, So, so mighty. Make sure to remember to mention the mightiness.”
gordon thomas Ok, got it, and your point is?
Quick thing the ‘was’ actually is ‘am’.
@@Daniel-cz7kd Nah, Yahweh doesn't exist. It's Hebrew mythology. Grow up.
Sounds like a televangelist.
"I'm totally the mightiest of all. Except for when I'm not."
I feel like one of the authors of this chapter was a baker who was out of yeast and hated baby boys.
This is not why Christian bakers refuse to make wedding cakes for gays.
I was having lunch in a small town in Texas and was going to watch this, softly. I did not realize how loud my phone was and when you started, loudly, Exodus 13, everyone looked my way. I turned it off quickly but had 4 people come up to me and tell me it would be fine for me to listen to the Bible, wouldn't bother them in the slightest. I thanked them.for their concern, finished my meal and left before I could break down.laughing
you should have left it on just to see their reactions lol.

@@LisaForTruth Sure... I'll give it a shot.
It seems this whole Egypt saga was just a way to explain the importance of the "no yeast" feast, regardless of its true cultural origins.
I bet there were someone who were out of yeast, so they made this non- yeast feast, and then made up this backstory to make a reason to why they have to eat this bread with no yeast.
Instead of just admitting that they happened to be out of yeast.
@@Asa...S It's got to be more than that, because God really hates yeast. Apparently there was a traumatic incident in his childhood involving yeast. Perhaps future archaeological discoveries will shed light on this matter.
@@joeschembrie9450 😂😂 Always comes down to childhood trauma huh lol? But it's definitely super strange that out of all the things yeast would be the main contraband for that being.
The yeast thing is by far the clearest and most repeated lesson in the bible yet. That is absolutely hilarious.
maybe god is allergic to yeast that is why he kept repeating it
Does it say anything about how he feels about women with yeast infections?
God is fine with slavery but don't you dare mention yeast lol.
@Terence Johunkin
It's very funny to represent it as "God said yeast was bad and you can't have it in your house" instead of "When traveling a long distance, do not use yeast in your bread".
The way you explain the bible is mindblowing. Keep up the great work.

This obsession with the first born male child, catholic choirboys can attest to the consequences of this.....
Isn’t Yahweh a god of war? Why would he want the Israelites to avoid war when death and destruction is what he’s all about?
Just for fun, I went onto r/christianity to see what christians reasoning for why god hates yeast so much. It's as all over the place as you'd expect for an explanation on something that makes no sense.
It took 13 chapters for the Israelites to get somewhere, and then everyone at the front of the party walked through the foot prints that everyone at the back of the party left the day before as millions walk in circles through a small patch of trees for 40 years.
I've seen every episode of this series up to now, and I only just realized: is the bible really written that badly? Without exaggeration, my 10-year-old daughter has a better storytelling style than this...
I'm sure your daughter can write a better story than this. Hell my sister and brothers can write better than this😂
Yes it is. That's why actual reading the bible make atheists. :-)
This is a lousy translation.
@@visaman which begs the question: which translation is it then?
@@tinwhistle4402 The NIV (New International Version)1978, revised in 2011. The 2011 version is considered an improvement over the 1978 version, but The Southern Baptist Convention. And some Lutherans have rejected it.
This biblical god and his instructions is sounding more like a "demon" than anything. A bloodthirsty demon posing as a supreme entity. Also, those "consecration" instructions for first born animals and children sound like sacrifices. What else would the animals be for? Likewise the children
So if you were god for 1 day, what would you do?
@@randyg.7940 What I would not do is play games and forgetting my special "chosen people" became slaves and come up with some long, drawn out unnecessary, genocidal bs plan to free them to eventually lead them into more slavery. Well I wouldn't have "chosen people" in the first place. I'd make sure everyone speaks one language and write my instructions as to how I want them to get along and evolve on the moon for everyone to see from earth. But beings like the biblical god seem to have a fear of mankind evolving "too much" and eventually becoming like them so they do everything in their power to keep control and stymie progression. Oh, and I definitely won't come up with a plan that requires me to send my son/self as a human sacrifice to be killed for a weekend so I can be satisfied to forgive mankind? What kind of non sequitor, high on acid, blood thirsty plan and requirement is that? Of course I'm mixing the jewish beliefs with the christian beliefs about their gods but that's literally the gist. Was I unclear about anything? Was your question answered to your satisfaction?
@@randyg.7940 I'd also completely flip the laws of physics to where people and animals killing and consuming wouldn't be required for survival. I'd improve physical laws where lifeforms get their sustenance by executing justice, helping others evolve and directly from the atmosphere. The more an individual can do the first two things the more sustenance they'll get
@@exillens I agree, I do not understand how people believe that the Hebrew God of the bible is the all mighty all knowing all loving creator. I was thought this stuff growing up in a religious family, crazy right?
@@randyg.7940 When you think of the literal numerous other more efficient ways to run a planet, the stories about this biblical god are evil or incompetent at best. Of course they'll say we can't question their god and his divine wisdom can't make sense to us🙄

I love this chapter by chapter roasting of the bible. Keep it up to Revelation.

The bible is definitely not the best work from the Jews. Neils Bohr, Albert Einstein, and Spinoza created much more interesting and important writings.
But I still 💗 your take on the Buybull reading .
Oh right I forgot about the part where God drowns Pharaoh's army along with him after the baby killing last chapter.How is God the good guy again?🤔
Because killing bad guys is good in ancient tribal religions lol
@@harveywabbit9541 they were not in contact with greeks at the time this story was made. Their neighbors were the Egyptians.

Ryan Name Have you even read the Bible?
Traveling from Memphis to Jerusalem meant you were traveling from Egypt to another part of Egypt. There were two major trade routes, the Via Maris along the sea, and the King's Highway which was inland. Google maps won't calculate a route using the Via Maris because the border is closed at the Gaza Strip. From Memphis to Jerusalem taking the King's Highway is 454 miles, probably about a 2 to 3 week walk for a fit person. Why they needed to something to guide them along a major trade route is a mystery.
Or why it took them 30years to pass a way that is 2-3 weeks long. But again, the bible is so unreal dumb that it hurts my brain.
Perhaps being stuck as slaves for 400 years meant their muscles were flabby and they could hardly walk at all and of course not be expected to physically defend themselves. They didn't have the strength to even lift yeast.
@@debbys-abqnm4537 I laughed out so loud reading this 🤣🤣🤣
@@mrjohn7930 -- I wonder if god, Jesus or anyone in the bible ever laughed (other than at their victims)... No laughter, no wisdom.
If you're mentioning that, you might also point out that Egyptian written sources from the time this was supposed to have occurred, don't seem to have noticed any major relocation of Hebrews.
What was the substitute for yeast? I'm thinking that yeast's competitor pushed this tale, kinda like how the fishing industry pushed "no meat on Fridays".
It was the Matzo Mafia!
I love how Moses uses his Lizard stick and performs all these "miracles"...but then the magicians also do the same! So much for the power of God. It's obviously just cheap party tricks!
I look forward to these videos every week. Thanks!
Just as well as they didn't go through the Philistine lands... the Philistines probably had iron chariots.
🤣🤣🤣
@@harveywabbit9541 Why? Harvey, why?
No yeast! What's up with this god's dietary restrictions? He has a very weird relationship with food. Does he maybe have an eating disorder?
Yeast makes you fart.
@@visaman
he was probably laughed out as a kid by all the other gods around because of his bowel movements from eating too much yeast.
Remember the shortcut could have gotten them there in a few weeks at most.
Like, if he can part the Red Sea, he can't hold off the Philistines? Not so omnipotent, is he?
@@knarf_on_a_bike YES! Like, why would there NEED to be a war if GOD is on their side to stop the Philistines???!!! He JUST killed all of the firstborn in Egypt, after SEVERAL other plagues to cause misery and death, ALL so his chosen people would be allowed to leave... but the PHILISTINES is too much for God to handle???!!! They SERIOUSLY need to explain how and WHEN God's powers work, because this makes no sense 😂🤣😂
This reads like a badly written anime😂
According to Google maps, the trip from Cairo to to Jerusalem is 6 days on foot. Consider the crowd walking and taking breaks, that's a couple of weeks at most.
Now, we don't know where the heck they started, so it could take longer from farther away, but 40 years? No way.
@@knarf_on_a_bike he even made the Egyptians favor them while greiving their dead but not the philistines apperantly.
God is even more afraid of yeast than he is of iron chariots.

Good one Susan, lol.
I'm wondering why it took "400 years" for god to remember his vow to secure a homeland for his people. A possible solution: as apparently god created "everything" and had to visit every place every now and then, he saw an Earth-like planet 195 light years away and traveled there at the speed of light (unless somehow the laws of astrophysics don't apply...). He stayed there ten years looking for foreskins (or whatever the equivalent was that he'd made on that planet) then he returned the 195 light years to Earth. Thus, 400 years and he's hungry for protein!
😂That made more sense than EVERYTHING in the Bible 🤣

@@ImAlwaysHere1 they're not vegan so for sure they did, probably sacrificed a few just for the heck of it
@@ImAlwaysHere1 -- Perhaps they made deviled eggs to eat at the first lunch stop (the deviled eggs might not have lasted longer than that w/o spoiling).
No yeast, mind you!
Awesome reading, I hope and look forward to next weekend to hear your reading. I rated it at 2000 thumbs-up and 5 stars
Filler? By bible standards that must have been pure Matrix level action. How did we survive the latter parts of Genesis?
God has such an issue with yeast you'd think it insulted his mother.
There is nothing wrong with the yeast itself, it's only that Jews shouldn't eat anything leavened for seven days. Today it's part of the modern tradition of Passover.
I can't wait till you get to Exodus 21 lol.. keep up the good work bro 💯
surely i am not the first to say this, but at this pace it will take forever to finish the damn book.
moreover, i'd rather you start with the new testament, because whenever i point out the absurdities to christians they respond "doesn't count, it is the old testament"
as if it's not supposed to have consistency!
It's certainly not practical to read the whole thing in the format we have here. The Psalms come to mind as a large section of the bible that don't have a connected story like the other books.
I never understood their logic on that one. I mean if you're reading the sequel, you obviously approve of the original. It's the same God
@@zecuse I really hope he skip those
@@hughwozzit4301 true that!
@@sadderwhiskeymann Ya, but even then, if he didn't skip any of the OT, it would still take about 1.5 years to get through it at the pace he's going. I'm hoping he finds someway to "speed up" the pace because there's almost 5 years of "historical" books + Job before Psalms.
I wouldn't mind him skipping stuff if it were too similar to previous content. It was funny in Genesis, but that novelty died with Pharaoh's first born.
Trying to read the 4 gospels in parallel and seeing how they contradict would be great. Otherwise, that's over a year of reading the "same" story 4 times.
What has God got against yeast? Why did he invent it?
And pigs!? Shrimps!??
Maybe yeast, pigs and shrimp (and lambs and donkeys and fig trees) were "meant" for better things and it's not their time yet (or so Yahweh promises them...).
He hates Marmite. The wierdo!
It's relates to a ancient holiday, one that's now merged with Passover. For a week Jews could not eat leavened bread, Exodus 12:33-34 was meant to explain why.
@@debbys-abqnm4537
Foreskins were also 'meant' for better times? Thank god.....
Although..... everytime I'll have sex, I will see an erect cross. Gruesome. Thank you for this insight.
" I have been through the desert on a horse with no name" lol
Foreskins and yeast infections. I reckon instructions on how to make soap would be a better idea 😂. Or maybe even thrush medicine 😳😂
So I'm totally against the sacrificial nonsense purely cause it's a waste of resources. But so if god ordered the sacrifice of vegetables or trees, will you be cool with that?
Not cool with that in the desert where there isn't much water to spare and so almost every plant is precious... if a business chops down the wrong tree here in my city, the business goes out of business very soon!

I love your timing and delivery. Great work.
With all the filler, this is shaping up to be the worst manga ever. And there aren't even any cool drawings.
A manga series of the Bible would be hilarious. If it were made I would buy it just to see the fundies get bent out of shape about their "Holy Book" being in graphic novel/anime form. The damn thing would at least be more fun to read😂
@@dragowolfraven3806 There's a manga about Jesus and Budha being room mates.
The human pre-occupation with purity and sacrifice is really interesting
Huh, interesting how it talks about not eating yeast being like a sign on your hand and forehead...kinda like how the "mark of the devil" is described as being on the hand and forehead. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The hand and forehead is symbolic of The Tree of Knowledge that Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat
Maybe the person translating it for Revelations saw, "They shall bear the mark of the yeast," and thought they'd gotten it wrong. Like they were thinking, "Wait... mark of the yeast? That can't be right... Imma just scrub out this 'y' and use 'b.' There, now that makes a whole lot more sense."

The Red Sea/Sea of Reeds issue-I have a Hebrew to English version of the Old Testament and the name in Hebrew is Yam Suph which means The Sea of Reeds.
Indeed. I thought it was just the ancient name for the Red Sea (like how the Salt Sea is for the Dead Sea), but some helpful people explained to me why that isn't the case.
Mmmmm... yams...
@@liamwilbur1897 LOL!!!
How is that better?
Waiting for once a week video is driving me crazy, need more lots more.
I am trying to figure out where Etham is in Egypt (on the edge of the desert, apparently). It doesn't show up in Google Maps. Does anyone know the modern version of it?
There is no modern city that fits the description, even the most esteemed biblical scholars are stumped. The best guess is that it was a fort on the edge of the Wilderness.
Please continue this to the new testament! Thank you!

Thank you for covering this book. How anyone can defend it is beneath me.
“this observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that this law of the lord is to be on your lips.” Didn’t they make that same case for the mark of the beast? LoL thought we weren’t supposed to take anything on our hand and forehead. Dammit I’m confused. Lol
Remember that Caine had a mark on his forehead too.
This alludes to the Jewish practice of teffilin, where they would write scripture and place in tiny strapped vessels that they would then wear on their forehead and hand, and possibly elsewhere. The amulet metaphor abounds in the Jewish documents, and we have recovered such amulets from before the Babylonian conquest. In Jerusalem, for example, they found 6th century BCE priests buried each with a minuscule silver scroll inscribed with traditional priestly blessings, including a famous passage found in Numbers 6.
Okay, let's do this... Your narrative is interesting. I love it. It even makes me think u will do the whole Bible, at least for our sake. But one episode per week is a bit too slow. Coz we have 1189 chapters in the Bible. If u do one chapter per week, it will take more than 22 years to finish the whole Bible, and if u do one chapter per day, it will at least take 3 years to finish the whole Bible...
And from the way u explain it, I am not having the patience that would last 22 years
The original plan was only the first three chapters of Genesis.
Did they really go to the Hittie land or any other land but Canaanite?
When the Bible talks about Hittite lands, they're probably not talking the classical Hittite Empire, which was destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age.
It's far more likely that they're talking about the neo-Hittite states in Syria, particularly the Aramean entities, around the 8th century BCE. While not technically bordering Canaan were near enough to be known to the Israelites.
Likely they're just exaggerating in at attempt to justify 'ancient claims' to as much of the Levantine coast as possible.
Love these series.
If you don't have an extra lamb, and you have a son, and don't want to or you cannot redeem your son with that lamb, must you break the baby's neck? I'm just wondering how far this "pro life" stance goes.
Also, if they remove all of the yeast from their community/country, getting new yeast is not a simple matter if you cannot just run down to the grocery store and buy a packet.
Great down to hearth job! It's about time to rethink this book! At this stage, I feel so sorry for the Egyptians! Why was God so tough to them? And what's wrong with the yeast?
God hates yeast. Don't know why that didn't make it into the commandments.
YEAST
If God hates yeast so much, why did he invent Athletes Foot?
I didn't know about the shortcut part. Seems really weird that the shorter path wasn't viable simply because a rival tribe was there. Not like that stopped god before. He can part oceans and genocide Egyptians no problem. But a few Phillistines in the way? Nope, roads closed! Can't go that way! I'm sure there was nothing god could have done about it
1. Even up to the mid twentieth century in the Catholic church, it was traditional for your first son to become a priest, and your first daughter a nun. That was more the case in traditionally Catholic countries, though, like Italy and Ireland. Not America so much.
2. "Single" father? Not always. It's at least implied at certain parts of Scripture that God could have a female counterpart. Either Ashera or Sophia, the latter of whom later came just to be known as the Holy Spirit. Yeah, no shit: the Holy Spirit is understood, at least i you're not Catholic, to be female.
3. Wait, when and where in the FECK did he get Joseph's bones?! That seems like a kind of important plot point for the Torah to just completely skip. Unless I missed something. Did I miss something?
Usually the priesthood was a good place for the gay son. Or, according to "Father Ted," the stupid son.
But the archaeologists tell us there was no Moses and no Exodus and no wandering in the desert. It is all a great lie.

@@losttribe3001 Who is teaching it as truth? We all know that the actor who played Fonzie didn't really jump the shark, but, on Happy Days, Fonzie did.
@@visaman “Who’s teaching it as truth?”
Are you serious? How about every private Christian academy, Sunday school teacher or even people in this very comment section? Growing up, I attended a Seventh Day Adventist school and I can tell you first hand that they teach the biblical mythology as truth. So I’m baffled at what your point is...unless you get kicks out of gas lighting? If that’s the case, then congrats. But that doesn’t help move the conversation forward in an adult like manner.
@@losttribe3001 i am familiar with the Seventh Day Adventist church and Herbert W Armstong, I almost fell into their clutches as a youth. My original point was that truths can be found in myths, so to call myths "lies" does a disservice to them, even if they are not literal truths.
Go around your house with a little broom and sweep every cranny just in case there's any of that devil yeast lurking in there. For the love of heaven, don't tell them that yeast can exist naturally in the air. And why do these people complain about not having anything to eat when they had all these animals with them? And then why doesn't God just say "Have a nice barbeque" instead of giving them dead quail that they then glutton out on. (I'd say "pig out" but--ya know.)
The Quail was a punishment for bitching too loudly. God was getting a headache.
I thought the mark on your hand and symbol on your forehead so that you can live with in the community as the chosen people came in Revelations and was given by the Antichrist? Must be why the priests skip the part about this and how much yeast is bad, even though it's naturally occurring on a lot of food. Just got finished making Tapachi which is made from the wild yeast on pineapples, and the evil yeast drink was delicious
Regarding the frase: first born.
If a man without children marries a widow who have children, is it still a first born if they have a child?
So, is this just the first born for a man/male, or is it the first born by a woman/female?
Since it says "first offspring of every _womb_ " I would assume it´s the first born of every female.

Thank you. This makes the bible a lot less drudgerous.
I wonder if this story is yet another rip-off of something older, just like how Noah is a rip-off of Utnapishtim, Atrahasis, and others.
None of the authors' in the Bible ever tried to pass off these stories as their own, in ancient times it was common for cultures to exchange stories with each other (still in a way is). And considering during the Neo-Babylonian empire there was exiled communities of Judahites in Mesopotamia who would have heard stories like the Enuma Elish or Gilgamesh, the literate members would then rewrite and modify these myths as part of their Yahwistic theology.
@@devinsmith4790 The real mystery is where exactly Yahweh originated from.
Most scholars think he originated in the southern Levant.
@@LM-jz9vh
It's not really known, best we have are guesses.
@@devinsmith4790 It seems like the Kenite hypothesis is making a comeback.
@@devinsmith4790
*The Israelite people were indigenous Canaanites.*
So where did the Israelite people come from? *The Israelite people were originally Canaanite pastoralists who, in 1300 BCE. changed their economic strategy in response to worsening conditions.* There is substantial evidence for this hypothesis.
*Linguistic:* Hebrew and Canaanite language are increasingly indistinguishable the further back you go in the Iron Age.
*Material culture:* Israelite and Canaanites shared the same building plans, pottery designs, village layouts, cooking habits …
*In Canaan, the chief god was El. El’s wife was Asherah, and his sons include Ba’al and Anut. The Canaanite pantheon is well-understood from the discovery of the Ugaritic texts.*
In most English translations of the Hebrew Bible, you will see frequent use of the words “God” and “Lord”. The Hebrew terms for these phrases are more literally translated “El” and “Yahweh”. They are used so interchangeably in the Hebrew Bible that you would think them synonyms.
*Names: The very name “Israel” means “house of El”. In contrast, later Israelite names have “Yahweh”-based suffixes e.g., Jehu. Further, most Israelite cities were named after the gods in El’s assembly.*
The god Anat was honored in the city of Anathoth, the place of origin of the prophet Jeremiah.
The god Dagan in Beth-Dagan.
The god El in Beth-El.
The god Shamash in Beth-Shamash.
The god Shalimu in Jerusalem.
*Ritual systems:* The priestly system laid out in Leviticus is very nearly copy-and-pasted from the Ugaritic sacrificial system.
*Legal codes:* The Covenant, Holiness, and Deuteronomic law codes share strong parallels with surrounding Canaanite legal systems.
*Iconography:* A seal found in Jerusalem in a tomb of the seventh century shows a solar god flanked by two minor gods: “Righteousness” and “Justice”
*There are also expressions of polytheism throughout the Hebrew Bible. For example,*
“Do you not possess that which Chemosh, your god, has given you? So shall we possess what Yahweh has given us.” Judges 11:24
“Who is like Yahweh among the gods?” Exodus 15:11
“The people of Judah have as many gods as they have towns.” Jeremiah 11:13
*Yahweh was introduced to Israel as a second tier deity (a member of El’s family)*
*This can be seen in Deuteronomy 32:8-9, where El gives each of his sons a nation to rule over:*
*When El gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of El. For Yahweh’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.*
*In Psalm 82, we see Yahweh not at the head of the pantheon, but later asked to assume the job of all gods. “Yahweh stands in the divine assembly of El. Among the divinities, he pronounces judgment… Arise O Yahweh, judge the world; for You inherit all the nations.” Genesis 49:24-25 and Numbers 23-24 also view YHWH and El existing as distinct deities.*
We have seen how Yahweh was first worshiped in Midian, and not Israel. Concurrently, El was worshiped in the land of Israel.
*Then, when Yahwism emigrated to Israel (incorporation), Yahweh was not recognized as a god of gods. Rather, Yahweh was elevated to this position (equated with El) as the nation of Judah transitioned towards statehood.*
*In summary:*
The Israelite origin story is largely a patriotic fiction.
The Israelite people were indigenous Canaanites.
The first Israelites worshiped the pantheon of El.
The original Yahweh cult was a Shasu religion located in southern Edom
Yahweh was first worshiped as a god of metallurgy
The founder of Judaism, Moses, was said to be a Midianite
Yahweh was introduced to Israel as a second tier deity (a member of El’s family)

So gawd led the Israelites the long road to the promised Land rather than the short one after going out of Egpyt. Just because he's afraid of war that the Israelites might face while gawd himself is with them and leading the way for them? Wait... What!!!? He's gawd for damn sake! He just basically brutalized and bankrupt Egypt, can't he just do the same to anyone opposing his favorite babies? And it's also said they went out of Egypt ready for battle, so why gawd be scared that his people will change their mind. And then later after Moses died, he commanded them to go war and conquer the land when he could have just done that at the very beginning. So basically gawd just want to toy and play with us humans.
The promise of Canaan to people from somewhere else has been used to justify all of the colonization of the Americas etc
Yeet the yeast!!!!!
goes to show the dangers of overrating stuff
A sacrifice of the first born of every womb?! Ummm... Pretty sure that a call for human sacrifice he is asking for. Already has a precedent with Abraham and Issac.
Like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead.
Why didn't God have to personally guide them and not simply give them a map and a torch? Oh sorry, it wasn't invented yet.
Watch out with that background music. It's starting to get loud and distracting.
Still not at the splitting of the Sea of Reeds yet.
How does Moses pass this on to 600,000 plus people?
Is God's true name Rumplestiltskin?
What is wrong with that thing ** yeast** ? Why?🤔🤔
I'm pretty sure God did all this so he could force everyone to celebrate him. He's the ultimate OP cheating gamer. He waited until there was something he could save them from, played both sides, and then forced everyone to sacrifice and celebrate God for saving them. Nice.
I have a suggestion, why not start a new playlist on the quran and do it juzu by juzu? I really wish Muslims would be enlightened by what the quran has to offer.
I cannot wait for the part of slavery. God saved them from slavery in Egypt and yet took them to become his slaves. When will all realize how much bloodshed this has done to humanity.
Also, how are they supposed keep yeast out of Israel during Passover. It's literally in the air all around us.
Good Morning Sir!
Always love your content!
A long time ago, I did this.
I wrote All the attributes of God down.
In yellow highlights.
I wrote ALL the attributes of Satan down.
In blue highlight.
I went from Genesis, and stopped at the New T.
This is the end result.
My book was filled with blue.
This fundamentally changed my views of the bible forever.
Nooooo!!! What am I supposed to listen now?! Now I have to use my own brain to consider what the next chapters mean 😭
