All knowing means he knows before it happens. Knew it before anything was created. The world wants you to sin. It's human nature, but that doesn't mean to skirt the line between sin and not sin. You should do your absolute best to repent and resist sin. It's a gradual improvement.
Yeah, and the fact people made these loopholes so they can get away with sin, which caused multiple people to question religion is just funny to me, cause they aren’t getting away with sin, they just think they are, and everyone knows💀
What makes me question religion is that , it was dumb originally (cuz it was manipulated by institutions like church to make money) And whenever proven wrong on something,they just edit their book And the fact that there are many different religions, And also religion treats humans as something special which science doesn't,it just feels like a product of our ego Other than that in the context of this video , yes loopholes are silly

same thing here, literally never heard of it until tiktok and my first responce was the same thing as the video "are they really relying to loophole God?"
As someone who went to school in Utah and is a member of the church, this is often associated with, I heard about it, and my reaction was about the same. Fortunately, I never knew anyone who actually did this, or at least would admit to it.
Well the friend jumping on the mattress is obvs a joke/urban legend/tiktok material. But the idea of "intercourse but just barely so not even" seems to be a thing w/ sexually restricted people everywhere 😂
a third party jumping on the bed to avoid being blamed for thrusting actually sounds similar to the workaround for not putting out a fire on shabbat but opening a door to allow the wind to put it out. or a flipping a switch (which is seen as starting a fire when turning it on) can be activated by blocking a beam of light that has a sensor and will make the switch turn on. i had a friend who said instead of clearing out their home of things that shouldn't be there during some special time, he will symbolically sell everything to a non-jew for a penny and buy it back for a penny. and i've wondered if the god who's rules are being loopholed is omniscient wouldn't it not work anymore? or are even the gods subservient to the letter of their laws? cosmic bureaucracy is the true master of the universe
As a Jew who learns about these wild workarounds intermittently, I’m just like, WTF? Like the time the Hillel asked me for manual labor help on a Friday night, but they paid me hours on my paycheck that said Sunday? Like, you think God doesn’t see right through that? I agreed to work during the Sabbath because I thought my helping was worthwhile and in the spirit of mitzvah, and you people are like, let’s lie about the hours on the timesheet - that will make everything ok with God, right?
@@elisabethbauman6190 People of all faiths twist themselves into mental pretzels to try and dodge divine judgement, meanwhile God just laughs at their foolishness.
The thing is, if God is omniscient, the loophole would only be there if he allowed it to be there, because if he didn’t want it to be there, he would have known about it and closed it. Since he didn’t close it, it’s intentional and can be used. No trickery involved.
@@saiyaddanapudi9216no, just because he never specified that leaving a loaded crossbow somebody else loaded pointed at a door then letting a different person trigger a Rube Goldberg machine that tips some treats onto a pressure plate that pulls a string which releases the crossbow bolt when the target is in the doorway, doesn't mean it's not murder.
No one who actually keeps Judaism would allow you to do those things though. Except for the selling one, Jews sell their bread during passover when they are only allowed to have unleavened bread in their homes, but that only applies if the bread belongs to them. However, any religious Jew isn't doing the sale symbolically.
I was kind of expecting god to just say "Really? that's all you're doing? hey, get me the head mormon cause I'm updating the scriptures, now do it properly this time"
I think I heard Bethel church people had a practice they called “soaking” involving laying on graves of holy people to try to absorb their “annointing”

As a utah mormon trust me this never happens. Either you do it right or you don’t, there’s no in between. Also 3:51 was an officials argument for why he shouldn’t lose his position as an apostle but he was kicked out because everyone had the same reaction

As an ex Mormon, love the details of god having an “I can drink coffee” cup and the BYU student drinking energy/power drinks, something very common in Utah. Soaking has happened before and probably still does but isn’t really common, nice to hear the craziness talked about. Also sometimes BYU students will have armpit sex, and there was at least one breakout of armpit crabs at BYU. Shits crazy.
... the bits where big G kept saying "all-knowing" actually made me feel sorry for Him. Being omniscient means being aware of crap like this. I guess being omnipotent means that He can just make Himself forget it immediately. That would certainly be benevolent of Him.
Never heard of this before. First: Sorry, but that's clearly having sex nethertheless. Second: The fact some people even try finding loopholes in old religious texts and think that's necessary to be "allowed" having sex in this day and age makes me so sad..
As a utahn, If it makes you feel any better, i've never heard of anyone actually doing this. But yes it it's definitly something I've heard of before 😅
So as someone who was "raised" a Christian, I would believe this is how God would react to this conversation. At the same time, he is the one who lets the crackhead 73 year olds speak for him and "teach" us so yeah there is also that.
