Momolos Ztips That's a good question. I say the person who understands these three things: intent, author, and context, can say what the correct interpretation.
I always thought it was odd that the creator of all languages was so inept that it wrote a book so open to interpretation. One thing that preachers always do...ALWAYS...is say something like..."this is what the Bible says, now let me tell you what it means...or let me tell you what god means by that". The individual human interpreters aspect to his or hers god's word is so transparent to me. It always has been. Just yet another reason why I had to take a couple steps back and say, "Hey, wait a sec" when in came to the inerrant word of the creator of all. Gee, one would think that, even in translation, its words would not be up for human interpretation.
FishHeadSalad One thing you have to realize dude is you're talking about the English language. There are so many words that mean the same thing, but has a completely different context to them. It's a mixture of literally 4 different languages, (German, French, Greek, Latin) and has so many rules and interpretations literally due to the simple order of words. Bloody hell, simple sentences get misinterpreted in text messages all the time. It's no surprise to me that so many different people can get different interpretations.
This always reminds me of Mel Brooks' "History of the World: Part One" when Moses says, "The lord has given me these fifteen (drops one of the stones)....TEN! Ten commandments...." LMAO

@@marcelschellekens6386 your mistake is believing that you wouldnt be grovelling at his feet for mercy. Because the same questions you are asking Him He'll be asking you. If you need to understand why children die, you should've read the bible. If you wondered where they ended up after they died, you should've read the bible. If you base your atheism based upon the fact that you're in a harsh world where kids get cancer and die then therein lies your problem. Its not that you don't know that God exists you just believe that you are more righteous than Him.
Well, technically, foreskins were exchanged as currency and even dowry, and per the Bible, this god made foreskins. And considering the color of decaying flesh, these were the first green-backs. This holy currency was one that could not be inflated via quantitative easing. It is impossible to have a foreskin-based fiat currency. LOL
Holy crap.... that's EXACTLY how Steven Strange Sorcerer Supreme described magic when asked why he needed medical attention for being shot (it was by Hitler's evil gun so it negated his magical defenses). "Science can't do what magic can and like wise magic can't do what science can." -SSSS
In christianity you do it this way: if you desire something that isn't yours, first *kill* the owner, then take the goods. Since he's dead, it is no longer stealing. And in the end you "accept Jesus" and ask him forgiveness for having killed a man. Done. Heaven's all yours!
1 corinthians 2 14 - the natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Only the ones that are weak in faith succumb to the petty, willing ignorance of self-professed narcissists such as yourself. You don't even know how to read the Bible properly.
@Dylan Orlando You're correct with the fact that there are indeed narcissistic people who call themselves Christians. I would also disagree with them if they say they know every single thing. No one knows everything. You can know a lot about something yet a little percentage about that particular thing would still be there to know. What is narcissistic in the behavior of people for me is that they will believe that everyone is below them for believing something different and find it to be a joke.
Dylan Orlando Understood. So far so good you're the only person that have commented that actually have a better vantage point about this. We are prone to mistakes at some point. There's always something to learn as long as you live. I don't mean to be uptight about anything. It's kinda upsetting to see people berate other people who they deem intellectually inept because of the difference in views. Yes, some things indeed are too ludicrous to believe. I just believe that there is something more extraordinary and bigger than us out there; outside of our control that caused this existence. I believe the Bible is correct from all I have read and researched about it. Science is a wonderful thing, though there is much it still hasn't been able to discover yet and is still discovering. There is a lot that is plausible. Not all is correct but it can be corrected with the revelation of new discoveries Peace :)
The Yews interpret this as "You can't have milk and meat in the same meal.' I don't know why God would have a problem with that, then aigain, he has a problem with a lot of things for bo reason at all.
If you read the bible you'll also see that god is one of the biggest mass murderers and liars, that he fails to keep promises, that he is a bit of a diva in general and easily offended, and throws tantrums when people don't do what he wants. In general, in that propaganda brochure of his, he comes across more like a kid in the terrible twos than some omnipotent, eternal being.

I was raised a catholic.... can’t believe I wasted so many Sunday mornings!🤦🏼♂️ at least I stopped attending this FARCE when I was 18 ! I’m angry that so many people are blinded by such utter bollocks
I too was force-fed the Catholic lie and attended Catholic school through the eighth grade. When I was 13 I completely rejected the insanity. Now, as an adult, I am amazed at how many people can still be religious, specially with all of the science that proves them wrong.
@harry camper that verse indicates that there will sometimes be issues between family members because of someones faith that doesn't mean I hate my family but I have had problems and disagreements with my family Jesus calls for you to love thy neighbour as thyself and to love thy enemies and to bless those who persecute you
Wow. Just wow. I saw a Christian in a thread for another video say "god bless AronRa" in a very demeaning way so i decided to check it out. You sir are a masterful linguist. I was so enthralled with the content that I didn't even notice how long the video was. Bravo
I wasn’t being. Demeaning. Jesus can change anyone’s heart . And with A-ra I hear the conflict in his voice . Don’t be surprised if he changes sides one day
I don't think I've listened to a better presentation. I didn't even know there was a second set of commandments, let alone half of them were about blood sacrifices. It really opens an already-atheist's eyes to the absurdity of Christianity.
As a Christian, I was never really taught that there was a second set of commandments, and I was certainly never taught what was written in them. Amazing talk, Aron! A very useful resource.
It's probably because you didn't actually read it and if you did you didn't grasp it. The mere fact 2 Christians read the bible and come up with 2 different interpretations is proof of imperfections
@Delon Duvenage Why are You commenting on something I posted two years ago? And where did You learn to read? I didn't once blame God for her cheating, if You read what I said, I said SHE used God as an excuse to cheat, her exact words when I asked her why she did it, she said, verbatim, "Because God forgives." now then... if You can't hold a civil discussion/debate without calling Me names or assuming things about Me when You've never even seen My face and hardly know anything about Me, please move along. Have a good day.
@Delon Duvenage I'm an agnostic, not an atheist, You'd know that if You knew Me. You're not representing Your religion very well by speaking to Me in this manner. Unless I'm mistaken and You're not a Christian? If Jesus could see these messages, He'd frown and shake his head.

When I see the 10 Commandments enshrined in a government building or hanging on the wall of a court room, I remember that at least four of the ten are unconstitutional.
I literally just went back and read Exodus again (not that I didn't believe you Aron) and man, you are spot on, thank you, what an eye opening presentation.
Wrong. You are filled with evil, and will never see the truth of Scripture. Satan is reading it for you. I use to say the same things until I turned to God, instead of Satan. Fools will never see truth.
Hargis Pennington Question, if god is jealous of other gods because he wants to be known as the true god, why would he allow Satan to be alive? Considering Satan is supposed to stand for everything that is opposite the teachings of the Bible, you would think the omnipotent, all power, eternal being that created everything would be able to boot Satan. If god was real and had the power you claim he does he would be the one true god and other religions wouldn’t have come about. It’s funny that the one true god didn’t finally show his face until centuries after other religions were crafted. He is self admittedly jealous of the other gods, but waited all that time to finally do something about it? Ok. Keep living in your fairy land devoting your life for nothing.
My favorite point: *"There's a funny thing about God; he can make dinosaurs and viruses and everything that humans **_can't_** make, but he can't make **_anything_** that humans **_can_** make*. He can't make a box, or a boat, or a building.. he can't write anything himself, and he _never_ demonstrates that he has any more knowledge, wisdom or understanding than the simple _people_ who have to do all of his work for him." This is true of many religions, and not just Christianity. It's true in the past and today. Why does God have to tell you who to kill, instead of snapping his fingers and making them go poof? Why does God have to whisper in your ear to tell you what social policies he wants you to promote, instead of just telling everyone what he wants? Why does God have to ghost-author a book through the tool of anonymous fallible human men writing in only the local language, instead of pretty much any other method of communicating with the world? It's almost like God is just a concept and not an entity. The power of any given god seems to be directly proportional to how many people believe that the god has power. If a million people believe that God wants X to happen, then by golly X is going to happen - but "God" won't be doing it.
Flyborg here's one for you -you who said why does god have to. why does DHS in my town always tell people in the waiting room area,,, I'm sorry you had to wait so long. we are understaffed. well, dam, that's not my fault. hire more people. I don't want to hear what their problem is fix it.
True, God CAN'T make many things people can make, like a box, or a boat, or a building, but he CAN make certain things that people can make, like lawn mowers and ham sandwiches, but he's got to do a lot of cocaine to be receptive to the idea.
mstalcup I’ve noticed that outside of Krishna and the God of Abraham/Mohammad, most ancient gods can make or create whatever the hell they want, regardless of whether humans can make it or not. And that the list of things that humans can make seems to be shrinking as the centuries wear on. I’m pretty sure that humans can create viruses by now, and we could probably create dinosaurs too if we ever decided to reverse engineer the genome of birds
America: "We're founded on the 10 comandments, like do not envy thy neigbour" Also America: "Buy this or everyone you know will be healthier and happier than you"
I had his weird time trying to explain and showing my christian friend the actual 10 commandments and he, to my face, tell me that the labeled 10 commandments aren't the real commandments.
emanuel e I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. I get that you're trying to insult me or something, but you're so bad at reading comprehension and delivery that its not working very well.

This is one of your videos i like a lot. You've made me think clearly. For so many times i'd been searching someone, institution or anything than can explaining religion, meanings of life, evolution, etc, and i've found in you. Thank's a lot Mr Aaron Ra! Two thumbs up for you.
I just now started watching your channel and this is already my favorite video that I will refer to every time someone says that the Bible is the morale code to live life by.
Gus Topher Google "selects" the adds played according to their interpretation of your viewing history. The adds that you see are likely different than those I see.
Aaron, you do a hell of a job, with extremely intelligent detail explaining the truth. Ex, recovering Christian here, who almost became a preacher because of brain washing as a child. Thankfully I escaped and used critical thinking skills to work my way to the truth.
He’s a god of war in the context of brutal and total conquest. This is opposed to gods like Athena, goddess of war in the context of strategy; or Tyr, god of war for the purpose of justice.
This is great! I've recently became and Atheist and I honestly have never felt happier in life and more free than how I do now. I'm a big fan of yours, AronRa! Keep up the outstanding work! The hard part about being open as an Atheist is dealing with the family and friends that don't want any part of me anymore because of my lack of belief. I'm currently looking up stuff on "Recovery from religion", but I'm extremely happy now and I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. :)
@@danmiller6462 No, no they weren't. Even if that's true, which it isn't, the Christians are still trying to impose their version of interpretation (which is wrong inherently) of the ten commandments. It's a fleetingly, failing attempt.
Thou shall not murder, lie, cheat, steal. Thou shall Love your mother and father. Love your neighbor. Love God. This is ridiculous? Or maybe you are ridiculous!
@Link of Hyrule post your last comment on this thread because i cannot respond because it has 500 comments. You know....that bullshit about Zues or Muslims. I told you i experienced God. So i Cant follow a Zeus because Zeus never revealed himself to me therefore i Cant endorse Zeus. Here is where you error. Christianity is the only "religion", that has thousands upon thousands of people who are claiming to experience God. Claiming to hear His voice and being healed by Him and feeling His tangible presence. The mentioned that the Undertaker. WWE's long reigning wrestling champ is now a Christian. Because Christianity has produced people who are your peers and have gone through your educational system and are more than well off and aren't in a third world poverty stricken country this shows that Christianity is has the truth. Christianity is still applicable today. Judges, doctors, lawyers historians, firefighters, police officers are Christians. Only Christianity has consistent testimonials from people who claim to have experienced miracles. No other "religion" has that. You cannot even meet the Muslim God. He is unapproachable. So of course you Atheists will overlook this. Ted Debassi, sting, AJ styles, and the Undertaker are Christians. Are they stupid for their belief or have they met the actual one and only true God. An atheist fails to analyze reality because their failed logic is always in their way
I love the story of the moses and his commandments. Goes up the mountain, gets the instruction not to kill. Comes back down the mountain, sees people worshiping the wrong god and then kill them. Fucking brilliant, didn't even read that non existant tablet did you moses?
Best version is Mel Brooks playing as Moses, he comes down the mountain with 15 commandments, “Ive brought to you these 15 commandments” (drops and breaks one of the three tablets by accidents) and corrects (ten commandments, ten)
doomlord117 extremely angry people do extremely angry things. and the dumb thing is our legal system or the lack of the legal system does one thing about it.... nothing.
I Am That I Am I Am That I Am extremely angry people who were just visited by the almighty god, the creator of the fucking universe, who told them to not kill. I bet your ass that no matter how angry you are you wont kill any living thing on earth. But yea lucky for us there is no such almight being
Treating Satan as a thing is like being a rebellious kid who listens to his parents but does the opposite. Only in this case the parents are imaginary and the kid's condition is depressingly sad.
Isaiah 5:20 King James Version (KJV) 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
King James 1116 sounds like the entirety of the Christian religion in a nutshell, down to the most batshit crazy denominations and sects. All hail Zeus, the king of Olympus, who drove the Titans from the face of the earth
That was so well done, I am going to recommend this to all of my Christian friends. ..Thank you AronRa...my man. You bad. Sorry, I got carried away. Nice job.
This is very informative. I knew that the 'commandments' written by the finger of the lord were different from the ones people usually think of but didn't realize how very different. An outstanding presentation, informative and entertaining. Yeah, had he chosen to go to the dark side, he could have made a comfortable living as a religious parasite. I mean, as a minister. THANK YOU!

I have only just today found rhis channel. I must say it is absolutely brilliant. Aron is a great speaker and communicator, with a great sense of humour! There were quite a few times he had me nearly spitting my brew all over the place lol
And so will the beautiful painting, literature and sculpture that "would never be made" if not for christians like Shakespeare, Michelangelo or Caravaggio ....
Gakgaming Because the Catholic church can choose to disregard any and all rules it wants to in the name of coming closer to gold. No wait.god? No, I was right the first time.
Juxtavarious The Catholic church is just like any other religion ever. Religions exist to legitimize in divine terms whatever the rulling classes think or do. That's why religions change so much in space and time. People change, gods are manmade, therefore gods change.
The first minute nails it - KABOOM! - and then the last minute seals it! - magnificent cogent presentation - and with no possibility of rebuttal - unless with the use of the old dishonest chestnut "the bible does not mean that" or "it's taken out of context" - excellent
I do not find love in god I do not find rest in religion I do not find peace in belief I find contentment in atheism I find comfort in the absence of a higher power I find happiness in knowledge A whole world of possibilities open up When you take off the blindfold
Armando C. It’s not at all. I have never felt more at peace about death than when I threw off my chains of indoctrination and blind belief. I love being free to explore all knowledge and not freaking out when it doesn’t line up with the 3000 year old dusty anthology of stolen legends, folklore, blood-soaked barbarism and contradictions. Humanism is a peaceful, good life.
@@spanglelime Yea but what you dont get is I do the same thing too and still believe in God. Also how you view the bible is your problem because it's clear you didnt read enough and believed with no reasons then when you read more you thought you were fooled but you played yourself. So this anecdotal and subjective argument is dumb because it's totally anecdotal and subjective yet it stated like a fact lol You set your own limits and put the ball and chain on yourself no one else did.
@pathstogodbyfaithcom Why the fuck are you using the Bible to prove the Bible. I can say that Allah is God and quote the fucking Qur'an in its entirety, not only that, the Qur'an mentions that Jesus isn't even the son of God. It says that Jesus was deluded from the truth. If both Books says that they both only tell the truth, that fucking makes alot of paradoxes aint it?
I just love how every time this man speaks, butt hurt Christians, and some butt hurt Muslims, retaliate with nonsense and ad hominem attacks and threats of eternal suffering.
How is the video brainwashing? I'm not being sarcastic, just curious on your reasoning there.We have the choice to turn this video off and/or change the channel. Its about as brainwashing as choosing to read a book. We have the choice in what to believe. Now those that take their children to Sunday school every week and demand them to read chosen favorite parts from the bible right before bed, now that is brainwashing as the kids are not given a choice to what to believe in.
Laugh out loud at that bit of wit did you? Did you laugh half as loud as the clerics that brainwashed you as a child and who take your money every Sunday yet don't pay taxes on that income?
Wordoffakes Only from You Tube, I dont know if you remember but I have commented on your videos and we have talked before, just on here though. I am a fan of your videos, I share the same truths you share, in regards to religion. :)
@Luka Merkviladze - religious people are NOT suppressed. The only thing you are not allowed to do is FORCE other people to adopt your religious beliefs and dogma. Ironically, the only people who actually protect and apparently support pedophilia is the clergy. Just like a typical religious zealot, you state nothing factual.
@@johnarmenta2199 Well spotted - people usually miss this one! The commandment acknowledges the potential existence of other gods and does not expressly forbid the worship of them, just the god should be your first god.
I don't know how I even stumbled upon this video, but I must say it was great to watch. What I do think is less great is that in America (which is the #1 country in the world measured by power, influence etc) you really have to lecture these things in order to make people see the reality where we live in. I'm from Finland which is, as other Nordic countries, quite a atheist country and I could never even imagine such a situation. While the concept of religion might give some balance and purpose to your life it should never be taken as seriously (and seriously wrong) as people seem to do, especially in America. While fundamentals in all religions take things too seriously and literally, it seems that in America more than anywhere, people seem to justify their daily non-biblical (something that goes against God's biblical will) decisions by God somehow. It's sad that these things even have to be lectured but oddly I'm still happy for it. It was really worth the listen, thank you for that. Hopefully one day we will live in a world where we would have a purpose. Purpose of loving yourself and people close to you regardless of religions and ideologies and letting others live their lives as they please.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
I see a few Christians on here saying that Aron doesn't know what he's talking about. Erm. Have you actually READ the Bible? He knows exactly what he's talking about. The things he mentions are actually in that book. You can look them up yourselves. The truth hurts, apparently...
Branden Black Should there be a difference? If this God really wanted us to know him, why didn't he make it so obvious, that there would only be one religion, with only one denomination? Given what supposedly lies in the balance, you'd think it'd be a bit more clear. One person's understanding of a specific scripture is typically not the same as another's. So I'd have to ask what you mean by understanding. Who's understanding?
I'm not here for a debate my dude, just making a statement from an unbiased, neutral point of view. To answer your question though: God will give understanding of His word and bring provide clarity to it to anyone who reads it, all they have to do is ask Him. But that doesn't matter to atheists so other than that I'm not too sure what to say to you man lol do you.
Branden Black Well, to be fair, you did reply specifically to my posting, so that rather invites debate, or at least conversation. And I'm sorry, but with all due respect, that's a bogus response. I've read the Bible. I spent a year and a half very genuinely trying to believe. It never took. And I worked VERY hard at it, spending time with the pastors of my church, reading the Bible, and doing study with others from the church. People like Seth Andrews and Matt Dillahunty were DEEPLY immersed in the church for many, many years before leaving it behind. So, again, with what supposedly lies in the balance, God really, really needed to do a better job of convincing us. And let's be honest. If a Muslim were to say to you "Allah will give understanding of His word and bring clarity to anyone who reads it, all they have to do is ask Him", I very sincerely you could just flip a switch, even if you wanted to, and suddenly "see the light" of the Qu'ran. My point from the beginning was that Bible does, in fact, contain the things in it that AronRa points out. And they are not pretty.
Not much I can do if you think my reply is "bogus" but thats cool. Hmm good point about a muslim saying what I said however that wouldnt really mean anything to me if such a situation arose. I believe islam and allah are both false and that the Bible is absolute truth (dispute that all you want, my mind won't change the same way yours won't). I've read that allah might actually be some kind of moon god or something like that but I never dove deep into it since I really don't care. I might attempt to read the Quran again though just so I can see for myself what it says (same thing I do when it comes to the Bible).Youre right one does not simply "flip a switch on" when it comes to Christianity. God has to draw a person to Him and open his/her eyes so to speak. I never claimed that what this guy said is in the bible is not in the bible lol he has what seems to be a good amount of knowledge of its contents (just like a lot of atheists) but like I already said lacks understanding of it (some of the things he mentioned here and there were not pretty like you said). "Lean not on your own understanding" is in the Bible for a reason. All he and many others, even christians, do is go off their own understanding of the book instead of praying that God will give them understanding of its contents (in the case of believers) or asking someone to explain scripture to them or look it up themselves (in the case of nonbelievers and also believers since Im quick to look up the meaning of scriptures). Being deeply immersed in church means nothing. Anyone can take up space on a pew (a lot of church going folk do exactly that which is one reason I don't like going to church). Furthermore people should reevaluate why they even consider themselves christians. I feel like a lot of people go with it simply because its how they were raised a.k.a "mommy and daddy said its right" (now THAT is bogus right there lol). They don't really have a relationship with God. Not saying this is the case with all christians however it is the case with a good handful of them. Its not Gods job to convince anyone of anything. The Creator bowing down to the authority of the created would be more than ridiculous (and quite funny as well). Also everyone is not going to believe, the Bible says that most people won't actually.
Also wrath is a sin yet you’re supposed to fear God’s wrath. I asked my dad this (he doesn’t know I’m atheist). He said gods wrath is different from humans wrath. AKA it’s a double standard
@@jaimelannister1797 a double standard is a form of bullying. Look it up 😁. So your dad's god is a bully, but your dad would chastise you if you were a bully. Another double standard.☹️
I pointed out the part about hating your own family to a religious nut once. He didnt even try to explain it away. He said, "It's an unfortunate truth, but he has to except it." He has kids, I feel sorry for them.
What I find most amusing is how you can make yourself sound like a fire and brimstone preacher one moment, and be dripping with glorious sarcasm the next! Well done, Aron!
So if I follow what you are saying : If I follow the commandments I'm going to hell If I don't I'm going to hell No wonder god wants all these people down here talking to him, heaven must be 1 empty lonely place.
Think the talk was more on the values of what is considered was then considered moral ground and how most of that is not tolerated today. Whether you believe a heaven or a hell exists, basing your morals upon a book is bound to have problems as books can't ask questions that later generations have.
Aaron Archer The problem with the Bible is, there are now so many different versions each worded slightly different and still open to interpretation. I think every head in each of the 40,000 denominations need to be sat down and go through each version and decide on a definitive version that everyone can follow and scrap the rest. That way everybody is reading from the same page when taking quotes from the bible
Steve Austin. ,NO. noone can obey the commandments,,,I can't. I know I have broken all of them. I'm not going to say what everybody else says. I am a sinner and I need the Savior Jesus Christ. I need him every day. every day.
I like how Bible defenders always switch from "that's not what it says" to "that's not what it means".
Yeah...but that's a perfectly fine argument as long as they back it up with the correct interpretation.
Momolos Ztips That's a good question. I say the person who understands these three things: intent, author, and context, can say what the correct interpretation.
Momolos Ztips No. Not necessarily.

"God can make everything humans can't make, but he can't make anything that humans can make." Brilliant!
Yes, specially money. For some reason, God needs humans to give him their money....and he needs mountains of it.
Well, technically, foreskins were exchanged as currency and even dowry, and per the Bible, this god made foreskins. And considering the color of decaying flesh, these were the first green-backs. This holy currency was one that could not be inflated via quantitative easing. It is impossible to have a foreskin-based fiat currency. LOL
Gregory Dearth Sounds like Warhammer Orks and their teeth hahahaahah.
Holy crap.... that's EXACTLY how Steven Strange Sorcerer Supreme described magic when asked why he needed medical attention for being shot (it was by Hitler's evil gun so it negated his magical defenses). "Science can't do what magic can and like wise magic can't do what science can." -SSSS
Nihilistic Depths you are stupider than a box of air.
"If they're already dead, then it isn't really stealing."
Sounds like video game morality...
That is still stealing cause not only you stole their lives even their belongings and when they were alive you killed them to get their belonging.
Nah. In video games, you go to their houses and take their stuff even without killing them.
Maybe the bible was really the worlds first and longest D&D session?
In christianity you do it this way: if you desire something that isn't yours, first *kill* the owner, then take the goods. Since he's dead, it is no longer stealing. And in the end you "accept Jesus" and ask him forgiveness for having killed a man. Done. Heaven's all yours!
If they are already dead, then it's salvage.
"So, this is not a contradiction, this is... not a contradiction."
Aron's lectures are kind of like a more cerebral version of stand-up comedy.
At one point he drowns everyone and everything. But he is an All-loving. Talking about contradiction.
I like that. It is a lie to state as fact that which cannot be evidenced as factual.
The only scripture that has a chance to be relevant. Numbers 22:28 "god spoke out of his ass."
i love how religious people have to learn about their own religion from atheists.
It is the only way to learn, their preachers only lie to them.
1 corinthians 2 14 - the natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Only the ones that are weak in faith succumb to the petty, willing ignorance of self-professed narcissists such as yourself.
You don't even know how to read the Bible properly.
@Dylan Orlando You're correct with the fact that there are indeed narcissistic people who call themselves Christians. I would also disagree with them if they say they know every single thing. No one knows everything. You can know a lot about something yet a little percentage about that particular thing would still be there to know.
What is narcissistic in the behavior of people for me is that they will believe that everyone is below them for believing something different and find it to be a joke.
Dylan Orlando Understood. So far so good you're the only person that have commented that actually have a better vantage point about this. We are prone to mistakes at some point. There's always something to learn as long as you live. I don't mean to be uptight about anything. It's kinda upsetting to see people berate other people who they deem intellectually inept because of the difference in views.
Yes, some things indeed are too ludicrous to believe.
I just believe that there is something more extraordinary and bigger than us out there; outside of our control that caused this existence. I believe the Bible is correct from all I have read and researched about it.
Science is a wonderful thing, though there is much it still hasn't been able to discover yet and is still discovering. There is a lot that is plausible. Not all is correct but it can be corrected with the revelation of new discoveries

It's curious that jealousy is a sin, but christian god is depicted as a jealous god, resulting that god is sinful.

Commands are in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, same exact. There is no diferent second Edition
Makes half the shit that the Mayans supposedly did look tame in comparison.
As a Christian, I was never really taught that there was a second set of commandments, and I was certainly never taught what was written in them. Amazing talk, Aron! A very useful resource.

Hargis Pennington Question, if god is jealous of other gods because he wants to be known as the true god, why would he allow Satan to be alive? Considering Satan is supposed to stand for everything that is opposite the teachings of the Bible, you would think the omnipotent, all power, eternal being that created everything would be able to boot Satan. If god was real and had the power you claim he does he would be the one true god and other religions wouldn’t have come about. It’s funny that the one true god didn’t finally show his face until centuries after other religions were crafted. He is self admittedly jealous of the other gods, but waited all that time to finally do something about it? Ok. Keep living in your fairy land devoting your life for nothing.

My favorite point:
*"There's a funny thing about God; he can make dinosaurs and viruses and everything that humans **_can't_** make, but he can't make **_anything_** that humans **_can_** make*. He can't make a box, or a boat, or a building.. he can't write anything himself, and he _never_ demonstrates that he has any more knowledge, wisdom or understanding than the simple _people_ who have to do all of his work for him."
This is true of many religions, and not just Christianity. It's true in the past and today. Why does God have to tell you who to kill, instead of snapping his fingers and making them go poof? Why does God have to whisper in your ear to tell you what social policies he wants you to promote, instead of just telling everyone what he wants? Why does God have to ghost-author a book through the tool of anonymous fallible human men writing in only the local language, instead of pretty much any other method of communicating with the world?
It's almost like God is just a concept and not an entity. The power of any given god seems to be directly proportional to how many people believe that the god has power. If a million people believe that God wants X to happen, then by golly X is going to happen - but "God" won't be doing it.
Flyborg here's one for you -you who said why does god have to. why does DHS in my town always tell people in the waiting room area,,, I'm sorry you had to wait so long. we are understaffed. well, dam, that's not my fault. hire more people. I don't want to hear what their problem is fix it.

I Am That I Am I Am That I Am what the actual fuck are you trying to say? you dont make any sense at all
True, God CAN'T make many things people can make, like a box, or a boat, or a building, but he CAN make certain things that people can make, like lawn mowers and ham sandwiches, but he's got to do a lot of cocaine to be receptive to the idea.
mstalcup I’ve noticed that outside of Krishna and the God of Abraham/Mohammad, most ancient gods can make or create whatever the hell they want, regardless of whether humans can make it or not. And that the list of things that humans can make seems to be shrinking as the centuries wear on. I’m pretty sure that humans can create viruses by now, and we could probably create dinosaurs too if we ever decided to reverse engineer the genome of birds

@pathstogodbyfaithcom That isn't fair, you only take the good parts from the internet, why don't you try to debunk the sites that debunks the Bible?
@pathstogodbyfaithcom Why the fuck are you using the Bible to prove the Bible. I can say that Allah is God and quote the fucking Qur'an in its entirety, not only that, the Qur'an mentions that Jesus isn't even the son of God. It says that Jesus was deluded from the truth. If both Books says that they both only tell the truth, that fucking makes alot of paradoxes aint it?
I always get ads for pure flix when i watch these videos.
Aron Ra we love you, and keep up the good work!!! One of my heroes.
I just love how every time this man speaks, butt hurt Christians, and some butt hurt Muslims, retaliate with nonsense and ad hominem attacks and threats of eternal suffering.
Wow, that was very informative. Much appreciated, AronRa!
That was very brainwashing. You should thank him for that, idiot.
How is the video brainwashing? I'm not being sarcastic, just curious on your reasoning there.We have the choice to turn this video off and/or change the channel. Its about as brainwashing as choosing to read a book. We have the choice in what to believe. Now those that take their children to Sunday school every week and demand them to read chosen favorite parts from the bible right before bed, now that is brainwashing as the kids are not given a choice to what to believe in.
Numpty.
I should clarify my numpty remark was directed towards emmanuel e.
Laugh out loud at that bit of wit did you?
Did you laugh half as loud as the clerics that brainwashed you as a child and who take your money every Sunday yet don't pay taxes on that income?
The one that always gets me is: Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Because it implies that there are other Gods.
This is a wonderful lecture
Hey give Jesus a break he had some daddy issues
Jesus is his father!
Dark6997 so does literally every hooker on every street corner everywhere on earth, who gives a damn?
Dude has two dads and one of those dads is super homophobic, he leads a very confused life.
Jesus is his own father.... Jesus impregnated his mom with himself.... Jesus is a mother fucker
It will believe in me...or it get's the Hose again!
god on the mirror saying would you eff me? I would totally eff me haha
LutzDerLurch ahhh!!!! That's fucking funny as shit lmao I'm dying ....
I think the Hosea would be better than the hose.
Much better than going to church on Sunday I love living in reality thank you for jarring my critical thinking semper Fi
Well done Aron, I enjoyed that very much, I am raising a Guinness to your good health as we did in Dublin. Cheers, Sky.
I love that you look like the undertaker. you rock. I'm always entertained and educated by your videos
He reminds me of the undertaker Icca from a old west sim on a game I play.
Underfaker, just like wrestling...Fake.
Awsome. I love learning different view points from free thinkers. Fun stuff to bring up in debates. Thanks.
Keep that attitude up god beLIEver!
Have you seen my TH-cam page?
Me too!! Im with you Wordoffakes!! Good to see you again! I love learning to, and AronRa is an excellent teacher!!
Acey Hadrian
Do we know eachother?
Wordoffakes
Only from You Tube, I dont know if you remember but I have commented on your videos and we have talked before, just on here though. I am a fan of your videos, I share the same truths you share, in regards to religion. :)
It's amazing how many Christians are so oblivious to this. 😂🤣😅
Illuminating as always, AronRa. Thank you!
Every time I listen to this I laugh and learn
"thou shalt have no other gods before me"...so I guess it's fine to have other gods after him? Lol
Isn't ironic that this "commandment" acknowledges that there are indeed OTHER gods?
I like Tor!
@Luka Merkviladze - religious people are NOT suppressed. The only thing you are not allowed to do is FORCE other people to adopt your religious beliefs and dogma. Ironically, the only people who actually protect and apparently support pedophilia is the clergy. Just like a typical religious zealot, you state nothing factual.
@@johnarmenta2199 Well spotted - people usually miss this one! The commandment acknowledges the potential existence of other gods and does not expressly forbid the worship of them, just the god should be your first god.
John Armenta not really, the Jews before the Babylonian conquest were henotheistic, meaning they believed in all but worship one
I don't know how I even stumbled upon this video, but I must say it was great to watch.
What I do think is less great is that in America (which is the #1 country in the world measured by power, influence etc) you really have to lecture these things in order to make people see the reality where we live in. I'm from Finland which is, as other Nordic countries, quite a atheist country and I could never even imagine such a situation. While the concept of religion might give some balance and purpose to your life it should never be taken as seriously (and seriously wrong) as people seem to do, especially in America. While fundamentals in all religions take things too seriously and literally, it seems that in America more than anywhere, people seem to justify their daily non-biblical (something that goes against God's biblical will) decisions by God somehow. It's sad that these things even have to be lectured but oddly I'm still happy for it. It was really worth the listen, thank you for that. Hopefully one day we will live in a world where we would have a purpose. Purpose of loving yourself and people close to you regardless of religions and ideologies and letting others live their lives as they please.
Aron, if you're going to hell, I'm joining you.
I know, right! I'll be joining y'all!
hell is full of atheist, gays, scientist, drug users, and etc. you know what that means. they have air conditioning and it's gonna be so fun.
Nobody is laughing in hell!
U can say that while u live..
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
I see a few Christians on here saying that Aron doesn't know what he's talking about. Erm. Have you actually READ the Bible? He knows exactly what he's talking about. The things he mentions are actually in that book. You can look them up yourselves. The truth hurts, apparently...
Speaking from a completely neutral stance: Knowing is one thing, actually understanding is a much different.
Branden Black Should there be a difference? If this God really wanted us to know him, why didn't he make it so obvious, that there would only be one religion, with only one denomination? Given what supposedly lies in the balance, you'd think it'd be a bit more clear. One person's understanding of a specific scripture is typically not the same as another's. So I'd have to ask what you mean by understanding. Who's understanding?
I'm not here for a debate my dude, just making a statement from an unbiased, neutral point of view. To answer your question though: God will give understanding of His word and bring provide clarity to it to anyone who reads it, all they have to do is ask Him. But that doesn't matter to atheists so other than that I'm not too sure what to say to you man lol do you.
Branden Black Well, to be fair, you did reply specifically to my posting, so that rather invites debate, or at least conversation. And I'm sorry, but with all due respect, that's a bogus response. I've read the Bible. I spent a year and a half very genuinely trying to believe. It never took. And I worked VERY hard at it, spending time with the pastors of my church, reading the Bible, and doing study with others from the church. People like Seth Andrews and Matt Dillahunty were DEEPLY immersed in the church for many, many years before leaving it behind. So, again, with what supposedly lies in the balance, God really, really needed to do a better job of convincing us.
And let's be honest. If a Muslim were to say to you "Allah will give understanding of His word and bring clarity to anyone who reads it, all they have to do is ask Him", I very sincerely you could just flip a switch, even if you wanted to, and suddenly "see the light" of the Qu'ran.
My point from the beginning was that Bible does, in fact, contain the things in it that AronRa points out. And they are not pretty.
Not much I can do if you think my reply is "bogus" but thats cool. Hmm good point about a muslim saying what I said however that wouldnt really mean anything to me if such a situation arose. I believe islam and allah are both false and that the Bible is absolute truth (dispute that all you want, my mind won't change the same way yours won't). I've read that allah might actually be some kind of moon god or something like that but I never dove deep into it since I really don't care. I might attempt to read the Quran again though just so I can see for myself what it says (same thing I do when it comes to the Bible).Youre right one does not simply "flip a switch on" when it comes to Christianity. God has to draw a person to Him and open his/her eyes so to speak. I never claimed that what this guy said is in the bible is not in the bible lol he has what seems to be a good amount of knowledge of its contents (just like a lot of atheists) but like I already said lacks understanding of it (some of the things he mentioned here and there were not pretty like you said). "Lean not on your own understanding" is in the Bible for a reason. All he and many others, even christians, do is go off their own understanding of the book instead of praying that God will give them understanding of its contents (in the case of believers) or asking someone to explain scripture to them or look it up themselves (in the case of nonbelievers and also believers since Im quick to look up the meaning of scriptures). Being deeply immersed in church means nothing. Anyone can take up space on a pew (a lot of church going folk do exactly that which is one reason I don't like going to church). Furthermore people should reevaluate why they even consider themselves christians. I feel like a lot of people go with it simply because its how they were raised a.k.a "mommy and daddy said its right" (now THAT is bogus right there lol). They don't really have a relationship with God. Not saying this is the case with all christians however it is the case with a good handful of them. Its not Gods job to convince anyone of anything. The Creator bowing down to the authority of the created would be more than ridiculous (and quite funny as well). Also everyone is not going to believe, the Bible says that most people won't actually.
It's obvious that "Jealousy" is a Sin...................yet who is it that said "For I am a Jealous god"..............HHHMMMMMM...
Also wrath is a sin yet you’re supposed to fear God’s wrath. I asked my dad this (he doesn’t know I’m atheist). He said gods wrath is different from humans wrath. AKA it’s a double standard
@@jaimelannister1797 a double standard is a form of bullying. Look it up 😁. So your dad's god is a bully, but your dad would chastise you if you were a bully.
Another double standard.☹️
"you pop it, you buy it" 😲
Honestly not a bad slogan
It’s a great slogan but a bad connotation!
sacrifices, blood consumption, thanksgiving...I smell a death cult!!
The Rickest Rick Okay but think about how much more interest holidays would be.
"Yeah, god is love...if by 'love' you mean, 'evil.'"
Yup.
Wake up Jillian while you still have Time. God did not create Evil.
I pointed out the part about hating your own family to a religious nut once. He didnt even try to explain it away. He said, "It's an unfortunate truth, but he has to except it." He has kids, I feel sorry for them.
What I find most amusing is how you can make yourself sound like a fire and brimstone preacher one moment, and be dripping with glorious sarcasm the next! Well done, Aron!
So if I follow what you are saying :
If I follow the commandments I'm going to hell
If I don't I'm going to hell
No wonder god wants all these people down here talking to him, heaven must be 1 empty lonely place.
Think the talk was more on the values of what is considered was then considered moral ground and how most of that is not tolerated today.
Whether you believe a heaven or a hell exists, basing your morals upon a book is bound to have problems as books can't ask questions that later generations have.
Aaron Archer
The problem with the Bible is, there are now so many different versions each worded slightly different and still open to interpretation.
I think every head in each of the 40,000 denominations need to be sat down and go through each version and decide on a definitive version that everyone can follow and scrap the rest. That way everybody is reading from the same page when taking quotes from the bible
Steve Austin. ,NO. noone can obey the commandments,,,I can't. I know I have broken all of them. I'm not going to say what everybody else says. I am a sinner and I need the Savior Jesus Christ. I need him every day. every day.
6:58 the sounds of a young believer realizing he/she’s been lied to for their entire life
It's ironic how the holy tablets are shaped like... tombstones.
Astonishing work. Thank you very much.
