It is refreshing to hear a self-identifying Christian delivering a cogent lecture on the origins of scripture instead of engaging in dubious logical apologetics in an attempt to justify their belief in Biblical inerrancy.
Tell me about it, as sumbunny who was raised in the southern United States I almost experienced shock induced head-explodey after discovering this channel. Even the "nicest" Christians out there practiced shunning techniques on me. No need to mention what the regulars did, most of us already know that experience. If more Christians behaved like this there sure would be a lot less angry, resentful atheists in the world.
Well why not? Books are books. I think someone can consider themselves as religious not because he is dogmatic, but because some elements of religion are appealing for him
@@balsarmy Because a vast majority of Christians in the southern United States are loud, oppressive and obnoxious? If you've not lost your job because of, or been harassed by evangelicals or fundamentalists, then lucky you. Believing in the literalism of the Christian religion tends to lead towards toxic behavior. Scholarly folk who happen to like the Abrahamic faiths and enjoy/recognize the allegories in them are not common.
@@Arthurian_Rabbit "Scholarly folk who happen to like the Abrahamic faiths and enjoy/recognize the allegories in them are not common." This isn't true at all, in my observation. I think people like this are pretty common, but the shrieking fundamentalists just make a lot more noise, by their nature.
Yes, those of us who grew up in the "land of Biblical Inerrancy" (The American South) grew up with a lot of nonsense that the scholarly interpretation doesn't need. Trying to say the Bible is inerrant, but then watching someone dance around the many, many inconsistencies and contradictions was always fairly ridiculous.
Did you mean that the apostles wrote the Bible to take advantage of people? LO------' Most of them died a horrible martyrs death to bring the truth to us.
As a theological student and having an eclectic study history, this is a truly great lecture. Good visuals, superb presence and remarkable approach. Thank you for the upload! (A few years after…)

"Love thy neighbough" first appears in Leviticus 19:18 The next time it appears is in Matthew 5:43... "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbough and hate thine enemy..." Jesus is recalling the earlier commandment(s) before making up a new one !
Actually hate is condemned long before Moses: when Cain wroth against Able and than hated him, as in the context of Deut 19:11 explained…. God condemned even being wroth. So this was no new commandment Jesus gave, and he said it too. Mat 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
@@kathyh.648 I don't always agree with Jesus. For example in Luke 14:13 he said ... "When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and the deaf". At the last supper, he only called his disciples, so I think we can ignore his earlier suggestion.

This topic has always fascinated me but I’m afraid it will never be anything more than just a hypothesis unless we are able to find some other ancient biblical texts that predate the Qumran scrolls. I recently read an article on NYTimes regarding an old story about an archaeologist who discovered an ancient version of Deuteronomy (possibly dating to the 1st temple period). It was declared a forgery and the discoverer later committed suicide. However, now there are scholars saying it may not have been a forgery but it is long lost. This was about 100 years ago.
Try researching the Gospel of Judas. It's authenticated by The Pope and the Vatican. It shows Jesus deeply mired in metaphysics and his favorite disciple was his youngest: Judas. Additional details in the new e-book: 'Candy Coated Jesus.'
@@oliverford5367 Yes it is possible as was the case for the ancient papyrus text from Egypt known as “the story of wenamun” dated to 1000 BCE, predating the Qumran scrolls by about 900 years. And many of the biblical texts are said to have been written between the time of these two texts so it is possible that something may be discovered through future excavations.
@@HOWBAZARY not a fan of NYTimes but they were the only ones with that story: “Is a Long-Dismissed Forgery Actually the Oldest Known Biblical Manuscript? - The New York Times”
Dont cook the goat (to complete by) "AS LONG AS IT IS DEPENDEND ON" milk from its mother. Means don't cause heartbreak to its mother, by taking her child from her. This is the empathic moral lesson of the text, as of the verbal content. The "kosher" philosophy is neither evident nor functional in context.
Or: do not eat a goat before it has had time to reproduce. This is the essence of conservation and is used in fishing (fishing permits prescribe a certain size) and behind the rules of culling animals. A good rule.

Question for the presenter: have you noticed that Leviticus also contains a list of commandments that claim they were given to Moses from God at Mt. Sinai for the Israelites? Leviticus 27 In verse 34 below, it refers to this whole section by stating: “These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.” 1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, 3 set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel 4 for a female, set her value at thirty shekels 5 for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels 6 for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver; 7 for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels. 8 If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford. 9 “‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy. 10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy. 11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal-one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord-the animal must be presented to the priest, 12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem the animal, a fifth must be added to its value. 14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. 15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs. 16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it-fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. 19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the Lord; it will become priestly property. 22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land, 23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was. 25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel. 26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals, it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value. 28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes to the Lord-whether a human being or an animal or family land-may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the Lord. 29 “‘No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death. 30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod-will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’” 34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
Very good presentation. I believe the Redactor is Ptolemy Philadelphus. I also believe that, of the representatives that went to Egypt, the Judahites greatly outnumbered the Samaritans (formerly the Israelites) and that's why the J, P and D versions lean in their favor. This is also the reason for the split between them.
@@VincenzoRutiglianoDiaz the Torah was translated in the early to mid 3rd century BCE. This is the septuagint. There are no biblical texts in existence that are older than than the mid 3rd century. The evidence for this is twofold; 1. The early Greek language, contemporary citations and datable manuscripts. 2. The earliest dating of oldest biblical texts is mid 2nd century. Long after the time of the septuagint. Keep in mind, I didn't say the septuagint is the original source for the stories in the bible. Just that they, the translators were the redactors, and I believe first compilers, of what is the present day Torah.

I ask them to tell me exactly what words Pilate had written on the Cross, since the words read differently in all four gospels. I have yet to get a straight answer.
About the pronunciation of the sacred, divine name, YhVh. The Rabbis passed down a tradition from one generation to the next to remember the pronunciation. So it was never actually lost. What happened is that at some point they decided it was taboo to say the word out loud. This word was generally only supposed to be spoken on Yom Kipur, by the high priest in the holy of holies. So after the temple fell, with the belief that eventually messiah will come and the temple will be rebuilt, they continued to pass down the pronunciation, only within certain Rabbinical schools and only to those of a certain status and education let's say. We have a letter from a Rabbi Mayer of Lublin. In the letter he states plainly that the mnemonic to remember the vowels are "le holam". Which if you understand hebrew you would understand the meaning of that if you had to decipher it. The vowels basically. And he stated plainly they are sheva, cholam and kamatz. They kept this a secret and denied this because Christians were running around using the name out loud. And telling other people it was ok to say it out loud. In the Rabbinical belief, they considered this dangerous. Not only dangerous but one of the worst "sins" one can make. They believe saying the word takes you out of yourself and into "eternity", which they claim is dangerous and something you aren't supposed to experience til death or some mumbo jumbo along those lines. We have to remember how much word magic exists in the Hebrew tradition. From golem spells, to sacred names. The Khabbalists got very into this even, and in Kabbalah there is the 42 letter sacred name and all that. Anyway, the pronunciation was passed down. And the vowels are indeed E, O and A. Which is "Yehovah" or "Yehowah". Now, "holam" which is a vowel sign in the Hebrew context, used to be pronounced and spelled "holem". So I'm not sure if the actual pronunciation would agree more with the old or new. But if this is the case, then the early pronunciation might have very well been "Yehoweh" or "Yehoveh" or in a lazier pronunciation, Yahweh. or Yaveh. But as far as the Rabbis of the early modern period and later were concerned, it would have been "Yehowah" or "Yehovah".

I didn't expect many many hours of lectures. Could anyone, I dunno, sum it up for me?

And it's suspected that Yahweh was originally part of the Canaanite pantheon of gods. Is that close enough?

@@PaulTheSkeptic yes, thank you , I am not trying to correct you. The origins of YHWH are a little complicated.

It's well known now the the Bible started to be written at the order of Josiah, king of Judah, in the 7th century before JC. He had created monotheism by forbidding any other cult than the one of Yahve (who before that was one god among others), and needed a glorious (but invented) past. There has never benn hebrew slaves in Egypt, no escape, no crossing of the desert during 40 years, no conquest of Canaan, no great kindom with David and Solomon...
When does a book start to be written? when the author has the first idea for that book, or when the author puts the first letter on paper?

The Deuteronomist is presumed to be a Levite priest from the Mosiac 'camp' at Shiloh. Solomon selected an Aaronite Levite High Priest for the first temple, and as a result, the Mosiac Levite priests 'lost' the power battle. The Aaronites controlled Temple worship until the destruction of the second temple in 70CE. The tension between D and P is a best understood from this perspective.

@@dantallman5345 What point was I making? I was simply quoting the words of the apostle a Paul (1 Corinthians 1:19-21) who in turn was quoting the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 29:14) who was actually quoting the words of the author of the Bible, Jehovah God. He mocks the pride and false wisdom of both those who proclaim them selves wise and the sycophants who praise them. Jehovah said: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.“ As Paul put it, the “so called” wisdom of this world actually prevents them from getting to know God. The prophet Jeremiah predicted that; “The wise have been put to shame. They have become terrified and will be caught. Look! They have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom do they have?

There is no major commandment against lying in general. “Bearing false witness against your neighbor,” refers to a specific lie against a fellow Jew. Leviticus 19:11 do not deal falsely or lie to each other (to the people receiving the message: Jewish men). The Bible rewards certain types of deception, such as Abraham and Isaac deceiving Pharaoh and gaining significant wealth from it.
Ten Commandments; the Constitution says you will not to put one religion above the other it does not say that you would do not have any religious references because of that.

I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. 15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same. 17 “Do not make any idols. 18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt. 19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons. “No one is to appear before me empty-handed. 21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest. 22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God. 25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning. 26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. “Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” 27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments.
27:50 I see no reason to conclude that the kings list goes hundreds of years past Moses. Gen 36:31-39 NHEB 31 These are the kings (it does not say descendants of Edom) who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel. 1. Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhabah. 2. When Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place. 3. And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 4*. And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad who struck Midian in the field of Moab reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith. 5. And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 6. And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth-on-the-River reigned in his place. 7. And Shaul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 8. And Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadad reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab. *Because Hadad smote the Midianites, we have to conclude that the Midianites were already a people group by his time. So he reigned probably no earlier than around the time of the 12 patriarchs. But this is no problem because the story of Joseph has the Midianites already a people group by the time he sold it to slavery in Egypt. But this is still some 300 years before Moses and there are only four more kings listed after him! There is absolutely no reason to conclude that this kings list goes past the time of Moses.
Paul lied repeatedly to create a Christianity for the gentiles. The problem is there are many more self contradictory verses in the Bible. 1) Paul admitted he lied in Romans 3.7, king james, For if the truth of god be abounded by my lie unto his glory, why yet am i also judged a sinner. 2) Paul lied again by twisting the precious zion foundation stone in isaiah 28.16 into a stumbling stone and rock of offence in Romans 9.33. 3). Paul lied again by twisting following the law required in deut 30.14 into following faith in Romans 10.8. 4). Paul lied again by twisting jeremiah 31.32 (on Israeli breaking god covenant although god was a husband unto them) into hebrews 8.9 (Israeli break god covenant so god regarded them not).

Before watching the video....my guess is: The Romans wrote the bible. After watching the video: J sounds like the original concepts set forth by paganism, egyptian, greek, etc. E is beginning to lay claim that Israel is the source of those earlier beliefs P & D is the Roman Catholicism (P) and Apologetic (D) takes on J & E R is simple post hoc apologetics At best, we know that it was written by people who had personal motivations to lay claim to what god is and what god wants. Knowing that Christianity is plagiarization of numerous earlier and dominant belief systems; the bible is written to lay claim of such beliefs as well as demonize those who continue to exercise those beliefs without paying fealty to the systemic hierarchy of Christianity. While this presentation focuses only on the bible, with a feint gesture to what came before it. It's more important to explore the origin of the contents of the bible with a study on how the bible has been distorted away from those origins.
Um there is no reason to believe Romans had any power to alter Torah Jewish texts at any time, they could have exercised a lot of control of "New Testament" works tho, they would have needed collaborators.
I'm curious 8:21 We're looking at English translations of scripture here. What does the Hebrew text say about these two sections of scripture that were pointed out? I realize things get lost in translation, but to be far. If it was 2, 7, or more. How does that negate the end result?
That's not the meaning of separation of church and state. Displaying the 10 Commandments isn't setting up a particular church/religion and forcing people to belong and believe.
Yes, it is. The first part of the Ten Commandments are religious in nature towards a particular god: YHWH. Other commandments are not recognized in our legal code.
For my part, I favour the "Entertainment Hypothesis". There are many modern examples. Jason and the Argonauts, The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad, Ali Baba's Forty Thieves staring Popeye. Popeye, as we all know, gets his strength from spinach. Catholics get it from the Eucharist. Notice that there is often a bad guy who is nearly as powerful as the hero (Lex Luther, Bruto, Satan etc).
@@martynodonnell8467 In 1957 Bluto's name was changed to Brutus for supposed copyright reasons. But I must admit I wus rong. Blow me down ! But in the Italian, his name has been translated as Bruto, so I wus rite too ! Where is the entrance to the exit ?
Did God say don't eat meat and any milk products in the same meal. That is what the Jews call Kosher & not what was written. Is it allowed to eat a hamburger then 15 min later to have milk ice cream ? Can I eat a beef hamburger with goat cheese ? The audience were herdsmen who know what calf came form what cow, that makes it easy to not mix the two.

I stopped watching after 8 minutes. If you can't understand that 7 pairs and the animals coming by twos (by pairs) are not contradictory, I cannot take the rest seriously.
Never mind the Noah's Ark in order to mention his benevolence mercy, magniliquence , just take into account the extinction of Dinasaurs sentient beings blatantly perished front of his eyes, what attempt ever he made to rescue from extinction....!!!
The pink quotation says "they came by twos", while the blue says "take seven pairs". There's no contradiction here: once 7 pairs of the the clean animal came the rest were turned away. It didn't say they all gt on the ark, just that they came to Noah who then sorted them out.
Genesis 6: 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. Genesis 7:2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
No contradiction in Genesis on how many animals. The animals came in pairs. One male and one female. The bible just didn't specify how many pairs in the separate examples.
8:14 thing my brother is first there is the what will happen then the how it happened. That the animals came in pairs of two. Doesn't mean there aren't still seven separate pairs.
@@TonyTigerTonyTiger historical, ......there are over 200 flood stories around the world,....(.8 people in a large boat with a diverse amount of animals,) this is a global account, not local,.......Chinese geologists just confirmed that what they originally thought was a local flood ,was 500 times greater,.....the erosion rate of Niagara Falls goes back to a straight edge, the same year of Noah's flood.,....science has not debunked a global flood account..
@@mslice0760 The Genesis Flood Myth is scientifically refuted, and also refuted historically/archaeologically. If there had been a biblical flood - a worldwide flood, that covered the tallest mountains, and killed all life on earth except for the 2 or 14 individuals of each “kind” that were on Noah's ark (a massive wooden boat supposedly built by a man who was allegedly over 500 years old), only about 4400 years ago - there would be clear evidence that it occurred: a) There would be evidence all over the world of a mass extinction about 4400 years ago. b) There would be evidence of genetic bottlenecks in all land species, occurring about 4400 years ago. c) The upper strata of the Grand Canyon would be only about 4400 years old (instead of being over 200 million years old), since Creationists claim those layers were laid down by the flood. None of the above 3 is the case. Note: The Grand Canyon refutes the Young Earth Creationists’ claims about the Genesis Flood Myth in several additional ways.
There is no conflict except when you try to force modern book writing rules to an assembly of individual writings. There is no contradiction. The first instruction is focused on propagation. The second on practicality. So, for example, saying every home must have mom and dad now, and saying there should be at least one child in the home later, is in no means contrary nor contradictory. We only do this with this book! WHY?!!

It is refreshing to hear a self-identifying Christian delivering a cogent lecture on the origins of scripture instead of engaging in dubious logical apologetics in an attempt to justify their belief in Biblical inerrancy.
Tell me about it, as sumbunny who was raised in the southern United States I almost experienced shock induced head-explodey after discovering this channel.
Even the "nicest" Christians out there practiced shunning techniques on me. No need to mention what the regulars did, most of us already know that experience.
If more Christians behaved like this there sure would be a lot less angry, resentful atheists in the world.
Well why not? Books are books. I think someone can consider themselves as religious not because he is dogmatic, but because some elements of religion are appealing for him
@@balsarmy Because a vast majority of Christians in the southern United States are loud, oppressive and obnoxious?

This isn't true at all, in my observation. I think people like this are pretty common, but the shrieking fundamentalists just make a lot more noise, by their nature.
Yes, those of us who grew up in the "land of Biblical Inerrancy" (The American South) grew up with a lot of nonsense that the scholarly interpretation doesn't need. Trying to say the Bible is inerrant, but then watching someone dance around the many, many inconsistencies and contradictions was always fairly ridiculous.

Very good lecture, interesting from start to finish.
Thanks a lot for these lectures which make more clear the difficult reading of Ancient Testament.
"Love thy neighbough" first appears in Leviticus 19:18
The next time it appears is in Matthew 5:43...
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbough and hate thine enemy..."
Jesus is recalling the earlier commandment(s) before making up a new one !
Actually hate is condemned long before Moses: when Cain wroth against Able and than hated him, as in the context of Deut 19:11 explained….
God condemned even being wroth. So this was no new commandment Jesus gave, and he said it too.
Mat 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
@@kathyh.648
I don't always agree with Jesus.
For example in Luke 14:13 he said ...
"When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and the deaf".
At the last supper, he only called his disciples, so I think we can ignore his earlier suggestion.
Yes.

This topic has always fascinated me but I’m afraid it will never be anything more than just a hypothesis unless we are able to find some other ancient biblical texts that predate the Qumran scrolls. I recently read an article on NYTimes regarding an old story about an archaeologist who discovered an ancient version of Deuteronomy (possibly dating to the 1st temple period). It was declared a forgery and the discoverer later committed suicide. However, now there are scholars saying it may not have been a forgery but it is long lost. This was about 100 years ago.
Try researching the Gospel of Judas. It's authenticated by The Pope and the Vatican. It shows Jesus deeply mired in metaphysics and his favorite disciple was his youngest: Judas. Additional details in the new e-book: 'Candy Coated Jesus.'
No way texts that old will have survived. So it will remain a theory, as will any other scholarly views of the Bible. We'll never be able to prove it
@@oliverford5367 Yes it is possible as was the case for the ancient papyrus text from Egypt known as “the story of wenamun” dated to 1000 BCE, predating the Qumran scrolls by about 900 years. And many of the biblical texts are said to have been written between the time of these two texts so it is possible that something may be discovered through future excavations.
You don't believe in the Textus Receptus but you believe the New York Times. Get outta here.

Dont cook the goat (to complete by) "AS LONG AS IT IS DEPENDEND ON" milk from its mother. Means don't cause heartbreak to its mother, by taking her child from her. This is the empathic moral lesson of the text, as of the verbal content. The "kosher" philosophy is neither evident nor functional in context.
Or: do not eat a goat before it has had time to reproduce. This is the essence of conservation and is used in fishing (fishing permits prescribe a certain size) and behind the rules of culling animals. A good rule.

The Gnostic texts weren’t lost they were literally thrown away.
I am impressed by the questions coming out of the audience.
Question for the presenter: have you noticed that Leviticus also contains a list of commandments that claim they were given to Moses from God at Mt. Sinai for the Israelites?
Leviticus 27
In verse 34 below, it refers to this whole section by stating: “These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.”
1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value,
3 set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel
4 for a female, set her value at thirty shekels
5 for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels
6 for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver;
7 for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels.
8 If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
9 “‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy.
10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy.
11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal-one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord-the animal must be presented to the priest,
12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be.
13 If the owner wishes to redeem the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.
14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain.
15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.
16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it-fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed.
17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains.
18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced.
19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs.
20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed.
21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the Lord; it will become priestly property.
22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land,
23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was.
25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s.
27 If it is one of the unclean animals, it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes to the Lord-whether a human being or an animal or family land-may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the Lord.
29 “‘No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.
30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.
31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
32 Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod-will be holy to the Lord.
33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’”
34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
Food for thought. Why didn't the almighty just go ahead and create more animals instead of making Noah go thru that?
Very good presentation. I believe the Redactor is Ptolemy Philadelphus. I also believe that, of the representatives that went to Egypt, the Judahites greatly outnumbered the Samaritans (formerly the Israelites) and that's why the J, P and D versions lean in their favor. This is also the reason for the split between them.
How could the Greek Translators in Alexandria have redacted the Hebrew Text that was in the Temple?
@@VincenzoRutiglianoDiaz what hebrew text in the temple? There is no text that predates the Septuigint.
@@steveb2662 What evidence is there to say that the Septuagint cam first?
@@VincenzoRutiglianoDiaz the Torah was translated in the early to mid 3rd century BCE. This is the septuagint. There are no biblical texts in existence that are older than than the mid 3rd century.
The evidence for this is twofold;
1. The early Greek language, contemporary citations and datable manuscripts.
2. The earliest dating of oldest biblical texts is mid 2nd century. Long after the time of the septuagint.
Keep in mind, I didn't say the septuagint is the original source for the stories in the bible. Just that they, the translators were the redactors, and I believe first compilers, of what is the present day Torah.
@@steveb2662 I dont get it, just because the manuscripts are not available it does not mean that at it could not have been compiled at the time of Ezra. What Book did Ezra have in the 500s then?

About the pronunciation of the sacred, divine name, YhVh. The Rabbis passed down a tradition from one generation to the next to remember the pronunciation. So it was never actually lost.
What happened is that at some point they decided it was taboo to say the word out loud. This word was generally only supposed to be spoken on Yom Kipur, by the high priest in the holy of holies.
So after the temple fell, with the belief that eventually messiah will come and the temple will be rebuilt, they continued to pass down the pronunciation, only within certain Rabbinical schools and only to those of a certain status and education let's say.
We have a letter from a Rabbi Mayer of Lublin. In the letter he states plainly that the mnemonic to remember the vowels are "le holam". Which if you understand hebrew you would understand the meaning of that if you had to decipher it. The vowels basically. And he stated plainly they are sheva, cholam and kamatz.
They kept this a secret and denied this because Christians were running around using the name out loud. And telling other people it was ok to say it out loud. In the Rabbinical belief, they considered this dangerous. Not only dangerous but one of the worst "sins" one can make.
They believe saying the word takes you out of yourself and into "eternity", which they claim is dangerous and something you aren't supposed to experience til death or some mumbo jumbo along those lines. We have to remember how much word magic exists in the Hebrew tradition. From golem spells, to sacred names. The Khabbalists got very into this even, and in Kabbalah there is the 42 letter sacred name and all that.
Anyway, the pronunciation was passed down. And the vowels are indeed E, O and A. Which is "Yehovah" or "Yehowah". Now, "holam" which is a vowel sign in the Hebrew context, used to be pronounced and spelled "holem". So I'm not sure if the actual pronunciation would agree more with the old or new. But if this is the case, then the early pronunciation might have very well been "Yehoweh" or "Yehoveh" or in a lazier pronunciation, Yahweh. or Yaveh.
But as far as the Rabbis of the early modern period and later were concerned, it would have been "Yehowah" or "Yehovah".
OK but Noah would’ have only had to bring one amoeba because they reproduce asexually

I didn't expect many many hours of lectures. Could anyone, I dunno, sum it up for me? From what I understand, when you go back far enough, the Hebrew culture, language and religion merges with the Canaanite culture, language and religion. And it's suspected that Yahweh was originally part of the Canaanite pantheon of gods. Is that close enough?
Actually, El was the chief god in the Canaanite pantheon. YHWH, May have been imported from Moab.
@@michaelhenry1763 The "Actually" threw me off a bit. It seemed at first like you were correcting me. But I agree. To my knowledge, that's correct. El was their Zeus. I didn't know Yahweh was imported but he was the war god wasn't he? He was their equivalent to Aries. So what part was imported?
@@PaulTheSkeptic yes, thank you , I am not trying to correct you. The origins of YHWH are a little complicated. You are right, he was part of the Canaanite pantheon, he did absorb the roles of El and Baal. It seems he was originally a war god from the “‘south”. Then grafted into the Canaanite pantheon.
@@michaelhenry1763 I should say, that's my understanding. I'm not any kind of expert. Sometimes even well researched stuff can go a little wrong if you don't have a background in the subject. Mostly I'm just making conversation.

It's well known now the the Bible started to be written at the order of Josiah, king of Judah, in the 7th century before JC. He had created monotheism by forbidding any other cult than the one of Yahve (who before that was one god among others), and needed a glorious (but invented) past.
There has never benn hebrew slaves in Egypt, no escape, no crossing of the desert during 40 years, no conquest of Canaan, no great kindom with David and Solomon...
When does a book start to be written? when the author has the first idea for that book, or when the author puts the first letter on paper? What if parts of the newly written book are copied from older books? Does then the newly written book start when the first letter of the part that was copied was put on paper (or before) in the book it copied from?
@@BlacksmithTWD
The bible started to be written at the order of King Josiah, and was far from being finished when Josiah was killed by egyptians, but his scribes contined the work, including when deported in Babylon.
The bible isn't 100% imaginary, mentionned places exist, so do some of the characters, for example David existed, but was a small tribe chief, not a great king...
@@78Dipar
Obviously it wasn't finished When King Josia died, the whole new testament still needed to be written at that moment.

No, you specifically stated 'the bible', and the bible includes both the old and the new testament. Though if you had stated 'the old testament' instead , I would have agreed with you as well. There is no fundamental disagreement between us as far as I can see.

The Deuteronomist is presumed to be a Levite priest from the Mosiac 'camp' at Shiloh. Solomon selected an Aaronite Levite High Priest for the first temple, and as a result, the Mosiac Levite priests 'lost' the power battle. The Aaronites controlled Temple worship until the destruction of the second temple in 70CE. The tension between D and P is a best understood from this perspective.

For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this system of things? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not get to know God through its wisdom, God was pleased through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.
The point being?
@@dantallman5345 What point was I making? I was simply quoting the words of the apostle a Paul (1 Corinthians 1:19-21) who in turn was quoting the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 29:14) who was actually quoting the words of the author of the Bible, Jehovah God. He mocks the pride and false wisdom of both those who proclaim them selves wise and the sycophants who praise them. Jehovah said: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.“ As Paul put it, the “so called” wisdom of this world actually prevents them from getting to know God. The prophet Jeremiah predicted that; “The wise have been put to shame. They have become terrified and will be caught. Look! They have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom do they have? (Jeremiah 8:9)

I think you have failed to grasp the point of the video. God was not the author of the Bible. You also need to do some research on the pre-Judaic, tribal pantheism from which monotheism evolved.

There is no major commandment against lying in general. “Bearing false witness against your neighbor,” refers to a specific lie against a fellow Jew.

Ten Commandments; the Constitution says you will not to put one religion above the other it does not say that you would do not have any religious references because of that. The Ten Commandments is one of the earliest set of laws and would belong outside a courthouse. It is foundational. With the Code of Hammurabi.
The issue with the Ten Commandments are not the universal laws, but the specifically religious ones and the commands we do not enforce in our legal codes.
According to the book of Exodus itself, these are the 10 commandments:
Exodus 34:10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.
17 “Do not make any idols.
18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.
19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.
26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.
“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments.
27:50 I see no reason to conclude that the kings list goes hundreds of years past Moses.
Gen 36:31-39 NHEB 31 These are the kings (it does not say descendants of Edom) who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel.
1. Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhabah.
2. When Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
3. And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
4*. And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad who struck Midian in the field of Moab reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith.
5. And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
6. And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth-on-the-River reigned in his place.
7. And Shaul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
8. And Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadad reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.
*Because Hadad smote the Midianites, we have to conclude that the Midianites were already a people group by his time. So he reigned probably no earlier than around the time of the 12 patriarchs. But this is no problem because the story of Joseph has the Midianites already a people group by the time he sold it to slavery in Egypt. But this is still some 300 years before Moses and there are only four more kings listed after him!
There is absolutely no reason to conclude that this kings list goes past the time of Moses.
Paul lied repeatedly to create a Christianity for the gentiles. The problem is there are many more self contradictory verses in the Bible.
1) Paul admitted he lied in Romans 3.7, king james,
For if the truth of god be abounded by my lie unto his glory, why yet am i also judged a sinner.
2) Paul lied again by twisting the precious zion foundation stone in isaiah 28.16 into a stumbling stone and rock of offence in Romans 9.33.
3). Paul lied again by twisting following the law required in deut 30.14 into following faith in Romans 10.8.
4). Paul lied again by twisting jeremiah 31.32 (on Israeli breaking god covenant although god was a husband unto them) into hebrews 8.9 (Israeli break god covenant so god regarded them not).

Who is the guy giving this lecture? I'd be better if he gave that detail before speaking. Why would anyone watch this without knowing this.
Before watching the video....my guess is: The Romans wrote the bible.
After watching the video:
J sounds like the original concepts set forth by paganism, egyptian, greek, etc.
E is beginning to lay claim that Israel is the source of those earlier beliefs
P & D is the Roman Catholicism (P) and Apologetic (D) takes on J & E
R is simple post hoc apologetics
At best, we know that it was written by people who had personal motivations to lay claim to what god is and what god wants.
Knowing that Christianity is plagiarization of numerous earlier and dominant belief systems; the bible is written to lay claim of such beliefs as well as demonize those who continue to exercise those beliefs without paying fealty to the systemic hierarchy of Christianity.
While this presentation focuses only on the bible, with a feint gesture to what came before it.
It's more important to explore the origin of the contents of the bible with a study on how the bible has been distorted away from those origins.
Um there is no reason to believe Romans had any power to alter Torah Jewish texts at any time, they could have exercised a lot of control of "New Testament" works tho, they would have needed collaborators.
Do you have any recommendations for content that explores the distortion of the origins of the content of the bible?
I'm curious 8:21 We're looking at English translations of scripture here. What does the Hebrew text say about these two sections of scripture that were pointed out? I realize things get lost in translation, but to be far. If it was 2, 7, or more. How does that negate the end result?
That's not the meaning of separation of church and state. Displaying the 10 Commandments isn't setting up a particular church/religion and forcing people to belong and believe.
Yes, it is. The first part of the Ten Commandments are religious in nature towards a particular god: YHWH.
Other commandments are not recognized in our legal code.

No contradiction in Genesis on how many animals. The animals came in pairs. One male and one female. The bible just didn't specify how many pairs in the separate examples.
The 6th massive extinction, was a total flooding on a flat earth.
Wrong
Err, if the earth was flat, wouldn't the all the water just pour over the edge? 🤔🤫
No because our Earth is contained. We have a firmament
8:14 thing my brother is first there is the what will happen then the how it happened. That the animals came in pairs of two. Doesn't mean there aren't still seven separate pairs.
Its interesting that he rips the Bible to pieces, yet somehow it's still all true if you read between the lies.
so you think the flood, the exodus and the tower of Babel all happened, huh?
the @@mythme01 there is lots of evidence for the flood and the tower of bab. (base of the construction) is still there in Baghdad
@@mslice0760 The Genesis Flood Myth is scientifically refuted. It also refuted historically/archaeologically.
@@TonyTigerTonyTiger historical, ......there are over 200 flood stories around the world,....(.8 people in a large boat with a diverse amount of animals,) this is a global account, not local,.......Chinese geologists just confirmed that what they originally thought was a local flood ,was 500 times greater,.....the erosion rate of Niagara Falls goes back to a straight edge, the same year of Noah's flood.,....science has not debunked a global flood account..

If there had been a biblical flood - a worldwide flood, that covered the tallest mountains, and killed all life on earth except for the 2 or 14 individuals of each “kind” that were on Noah's ark (a massive wooden boat supposedly built by a man who was allegedly over 500 years old), only about 4400 years ago - there would be clear evidence that it occurred:
a) There would be evidence all over the world of a mass extinction about 4400 years ago.
b) There would be evidence of genetic bottlenecks in all land species, occurring about 4400 years ago.
c) The upper strata of the Grand Canyon would be only about 4400 years old (instead of being over 200 million years old), since Creationists claim those layers were laid down by the flood.
None of the above 3 is the case.
Note: The Grand Canyon refutes the Young Earth Creationists’ claims about the Genesis Flood Myth in several additional ways.

There is no conflict except when you try to force modern book writing rules to an assembly of individual writings. There is no contradiction. The first instruction is focused on propagation. The second on practicality.
So, for example, saying every home must have mom and dad now, and saying there should be at least one child in the home later, is in no means contrary nor contradictory. We only do this with this book! WHY?!!
Unlearned is why
