@NonCoinCollector Muslim scholars saved Greek knowledge, lost by the Christians, and made major contributions of their own, during their Golden Age, until the mullahs took over and suppressed learning. It reached Europe in the Renaissance. The West could be far advanced had we started earlier, without the church deciding what was scientific fact, and what could be studied. Now Jews, with their love of learning, have 25% of Physics Nobel prizes, from a population of c.17 million, Muslims have one, from a population of 1.8 billion. As Hitch said, "religion poisons everything." well, maybe not quite.
God should just have sent them a tabernacle, made by himself, out of all kinds of wondrous elements that are impossible to normal physics. That would convince the vast majority of people that the narcissist existed, and that's what he cares about most. But this god is completely incompetent.

I laugh at the whole “go to the land I promised Abraham. But I’m not going with you because you piss me off and I might kill you”. Really shows off that loving god of theirs.
So much for an omnipresent deity that is also outside of time and space. Back in the day he lived on the top of a mountain, where very few people ever went apparently. Then he moved to the top of the clouds, because of all the mountaineers disturbing the peace. When planes were invented, god had to move into space. Until rockets and space telescopes disturbed his privacy.
This kind of refutes god's all-knowing and divine-foreknowledge pretty effectively. And it similarly shows god to be a wholly ineffective communicator.

3:50 Moses would go into the tent and " commune with god ", clouds of smoke... I have heard that some smoking a certain weed call it hitting the sky or some other version like that. Answers a lot of questions.
Dear Hemant, great work helping us read the bible every Sunday. My humble request, please let’s have a Saturday and Sunday episode because both days are apparently Holly and then we will double the speed through the bible. Hope you see this comment.
God: "I'm not going with you." Also God: "I am literally everywhere. At the same time. Wanna see me run to that mountain and back? Wanna see me do it again?"
If we consider that there are about 62 versions of the bible (in English) and well over 1,000 varieties of Christian churches with varying interpretations of the above bibles, then the all-knowing, all-powerful being seems to have difficulty communicating clearly. This, to me, casts further and significant doubt on the validity and authenticity of the book and therefore the existence of an almighty that relies so heavily if not exclusively on this book as 'proof' of his existance.
So...wasn't god supposed to be everywhere? What about those smarmy posters where 2 pairs of footprints in the sand reduce to 1 in the hardest times, just when god's help was most needed, and the story is, "during those times I carried you." Was that a made-up excuse, now? Fess up!
It is an absolute "miracle" that anybody, after reading this tripe believes it to be true...pillars of cloud talking inside Moses tent, seems to me that Moses is pulling a con trick on his gullible people.
The all "Can't look at my face, else you die" thing, probably came from people trying to stare at the sun for too long. When I read that Moses was able to speak to God face to face it kinda gives me vibes of like the volcano looking like the sun during the night. It probably erupted and looked like the sun on earth and so Moses went to speak with God face to face without having to need to become an astronaut. 😐
@@harveywabbit9541 In Hebrew the word sun is Feminin, and I know since I'm a native Hebrew speaker. In the bible weirdly enough you are right and it is falsely used in masculine form
We are made in god's image, so s/he's going to look like a very young, balding, skinny, black albino, tall dwarf, with big breasts, a flat chest, freckles, an under hung, receding jaw, a tall, low forehead and a multitude of other things, so yeah, you can see why s/he might hide that.
"I will have mercy on those who I have mercy for." Is it just me, or is that phrase utterly meaningless? Or is the point that God wants to gloss over not showing any mercy?
@@robertmiller9735 So you're telling me that on top of being a narcissistic genocidal insecure monster, he also uses passive aggressive tactics on his most important follower? Um, Ok then. If the bible requires reading between the lines, and/or guess work to determine the intended meaning, that alone is sufficient to demonstrate how flawed the bible is.
@@stevewebber707 Don't know how much passive there is in that aggression-it reminds me of Bill Cosby's favorite joke. Of course my take was in-story. Out of story, it looks like a priest's answer to "why do bad things happen to good people".
I really enjoyed this series and am looking forward to what comes next. The commentary is amazing. I've never allowed myself to look at these scriptures with such an open mind. I was always trying to justify God's actions.
Maybe they still have a lot of gold and silver ornaments from those Egyptians they looted. Let's not forget they attacked other people who were living on the land they invaded. What were their names again? Hittites, Amorites, Pizzites or what have you? Whenever god's chosen attacked other people, they always added pillaging, looting and carrying off the women and girl children. They've got to have a lot of lovely loot by now.
Look upon God and die is probably just like the eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. See God's face, and someday you will die, just like if you hadn't seen his face.
If I want to see gods face and die after, it’s my choice. But let’s put this to the test. Two persons together, one looks at god face and the other doesn’t. If the person that looked dies that we have evidence that it’s true, but first we need to find a god. Does anyone know where to find one? 🤣🤣
And have you seen the water that you drink? Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down? If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers, So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great. Surah Al Waqiah Verse 68-74
Remember: they should be mining the desert! And everybody knows how many mountains and mines and also furnaces are there . The writers have gone way out of the script.
This chapter provides a good example of how the ancient people of Israel saw their God. He's someone who dotes on their ancestors but really can't stand them. So much so, he himself is afraid he might not be able to control his wild temper at times and might just in a fit of revulsion unleash some calamity on them and kill lots of these stiff-necked people instead of the Canaanites who are to be displaced or killed to make way for the Chosen People. How Christians can include such unworthy ideas about God into their scriptures is one of the great blunders of the church. But such accounts are quite at home in the mindset of evangelical Americans. They love to have a God who rides into battle killing all unexceptional Peoples before the USA.
No one can see me or they will die is actually closer to Zeus than Medusa lol. It's literally what he told the mom of Dionysus before she died after seeing his true form. So basically....its a direct rip off of Greek mythology! Lol
Whoever wrote this doesn't know who people it is first it Moses people then it's God's people then God says those people like who people is it the writers don't even f****** know 😂😂😂 and couldn't the god just make it to where Moses could see his face and not die he is all powerful right all of this is very odd

Interesting thing: in Islam, they say that God wears a hijab of pure light. The word "hijab" literally just means "barrier', and it is never used in the Qur'an to refer to a piece of clothing, so, in this case, I think of it as a wall of light surrounding God. But at the end of time, when all of God's elect are in Heaven, it's said that God lifts the barrier, and that all of the faithful see "his" face for the first time. I don't know if that's established in the Qur'an, or in the Hadith, or wherever else: I'd have to ask a Muslim. Can anyone help me out? But if that's the case, God's revealing stuff a little early in this book.
Smoke pillar? I can't imagine how Moses and Joshua could possibly make smoke. Must be a miracle. -_- These people apparently didn't know con-men exist.
Moses:Yo God, give us some deets on the rules, I dont want us accidentally upsetting you. *name redacted*: Fineeeeee. You're lucky I like you or I'd make you keep playing the guessing game
It' super weird about the jewellery thing. THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, Where and when did these people have the time to set up metallurgy? And it's been a long-as time since they left Egypt: you'd think they'd have run out of resources by now, too.
I'm dropping out of the bible readings. ...i always do! I hate reading the bible, even when its presented as well as you do it! I hate this stuff, i hate this stuff, i hate this stuff! 😏 I'll stay subbed though. Some of the other vids you post are really good too. Thanks. 👍
Hmm, I thought we were made in his image?? Therefore why would seeing his face be such a big deal?. The more I learn the more I think God was created in the image of man. Smh.
Oh yeah the deeper we go the more confident I am that I was a very smart twelve year old. I took a lot of shit for being an Atheist by the other guys on the football and basketball teams. They had no clue what being an Atheist even was back then and I only knew that religions were all bullshit and that I had no idea how the Universe started. But I was positive that Evolution was true and that the Universe was very old so the bible couldn't possibly be true. And that was enough for me back then but as I got older l began to understand the details better. I'm still learning every day and I will never stop learning until I die and that makes me happy.
Was that just proof that God likes gay people? Sounded like God have it to some dude from behind and couldn't give a wink and a smile after he finished
I think Christianity (or the culture I was brought up in) taught me how to love others more effectively. I think science, my gut, and reason taught me how to think and act more intelligently. What about the good of both?

I used to smuggle Norse and Greek Mythology into Bible Class after I came across some of the worst bits in the Bible. Even at 8 years old, I knew that the Bible was a load of tosh and poppycock. My very Best Wishes to you.
3:50 Moses would go into the tent and " commune with god ", clouds of smoke... I have heard that some smoking a certain weed call it hitting the sky or some other version like that.
Answers a lot of questions.
The more I listen to this the more I think that the Bible reads like a kid writing his first fanfiction😂
33:1-4 Did god call Jacob/Israel/Jacob/Israel Jacob? Its so confusing even god can't keep up.
@@harveywabbit9541 They really did do a lot of drugs back in the day.
Dear Hemant, great work helping us read the bible every Sunday. My humble request, please let’s have a Saturday and Sunday episode because both days are apparently Holly and then we will double the speed through the bible. Hope you see this comment.
I see it, but I can't keep up the pace :)
10 commandments next week. Let us prepare for the komedy.
I admit I was one of the immature viewers who thought God was using "glory" as a euphemism for his member.
When people say "god is always with you"...read them this chapter and tell them they have a stiffneck so god has left the chat 😂
God: "I'm not going with you."
Also God: "I am literally everywhere. At the same time. Wanna see me run to that mountain and back? Wanna see me do it again?"
When god showed moses his backside, Moses said, "that smoke pillar do be thicc tho"
-Exodus 69:69
I’ve been waiting decades for you to show us your glory, Hemant.
Oh well, I will just have to keep the faith.🤣
If we consider that there are about 62 versions of the bible (in English) and well over 1,000 varieties of Christian churches with varying interpretations of the above bibles, then the all-knowing, all-powerful being seems to have difficulty communicating clearly.
This, to me, casts further and significant doubt on the validity and authenticity of the book and therefore the existence of an almighty that relies so heavily if not exclusively on this book as 'proof' of his existance.
He can do anything, except be an effective communicator.
So...wasn't god supposed to be everywhere? What about those smarmy posters where 2 pairs of footprints in the sand reduce to 1 in the hardest times, just when god's help was most needed, and the story is, "during those times I carried you." Was that a made-up excuse, now? Fess up!
God is the wizard of oz.
It is an absolute "miracle" that anybody, after reading this tripe believes it to be true...pillars of cloud talking inside Moses tent, seems to me that Moses is pulling a con trick on his gullible people.
God is the Freddy Kruger of the cosmos.
The all "Can't look at my face, else you die" thing, probably came from people trying to stare at the sun for too long.
When I read that Moses was able to speak to God face to face it kinda gives me vibes of like the volcano looking like the sun during the night. It probably erupted and looked like the sun on earth and so Moses went to speak with God face to face without having to need to become an astronaut. 😐
@@harveywabbit9541 People associate and picture god as something like the sun
@@harveywabbit9541 In Hebrew the word sun is Feminin, and I know since I'm a native Hebrew speaker.
In the bible weirdly enough you are right and it is falsely used in masculine form
Perhaps God was self-conscious about his own looks. Perhaps he was the Quasimodo among the other Gods.
We are made in god's image, so s/he's going to look like a very young, balding, skinny, black albino, tall dwarf, with big breasts, a flat chest, freckles, an under hung, receding jaw, a tall, low forehead and a multitude of other things, so yeah, you can see why s/he might hide that.
33:18-20 Will god show moses his glory through some sort of Glory Hole?
Ow, you are naughty, but I like you.
I always wondered what the holy of holies veil was for.
It has been, literally 40 years since I read the Bible. It is even more stupid now. Uggg.
Sorry FA. I missed church yesterday
"I will have mercy on those who I have mercy for." Is it just me, or is that phrase utterly meaningless?
Or is the point that God wants to gloss over not showing any mercy?
I think it's "I'll decide whom to pardon, not YOU". Telling Moses to shut up and stop trying to talk him out of atrocities.
@@robertmiller9735 So you're telling me that on top of being a narcissistic genocidal insecure monster, he also uses passive aggressive tactics on his most important follower?
Um, Ok then.
If the bible requires reading between the lines, and/or guess work to determine the intended meaning, that alone is sufficient to demonstrate how flawed the bible is.
@@stevewebber707 Don't know how much passive there is in that aggression-it reminds me of Bill Cosby's favorite joke.
Of course my take was in-story. Out of story, it looks like a priest's answer to "why do bad things happen to good people".
@Galil It encourages more atrocities, for a start. Which is often the intent.
I really enjoyed this series and am looking forward to what comes next. The commentary is amazing. I've never allowed myself to look at these scriptures with such an open mind. I was always trying to justify God's actions.
Herodotus I think said the Scythians also smoked in tents.
Maybe they still have a lot of gold and silver ornaments from those Egyptians they looted. Let's not forget they attacked other people who were living on the land they invaded. What were their names again? Hittites, Amorites, Pizzites or what have you? Whenever god's chosen attacked other people, they always added pillaging, looting and carrying off the women and girl children. They've got to have a lot of lovely loot by now.
This just proves how hateful god is of everything.
Look upon God and die is probably just like the eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. See God's face, and someday you will die, just like if you hadn't seen his face.
If I want to see gods face and die after, it’s my choice. But let’s put this to the test. Two persons together, one looks at god face and the other doesn’t. If the person that looked dies that we have evidence that it’s true, but first we need to find a god. Does anyone know where to find one? 🤣🤣
And have you seen the water that you drink?
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
Surah Al Waqiah Verse 68-74
If god is Jesus, and Jesus is god, and we can’t see gods face, will we also die if we see the face of Jesus?
God is in love with himself.
Remember: they should be mining the desert! And everybody knows how many mountains and mines and also furnaces are there . The writers have gone way out of the script.
This chapter provides a good example of how the ancient people of Israel saw their God. He's someone who dotes on their ancestors but really can't stand them. So much so, he himself is afraid he might not be able to control his wild temper at times and might just in a fit of revulsion unleash some calamity on them and kill lots of these stiff-necked people instead of the Canaanites who are to be displaced or killed to make way for the Chosen People. How Christians can include such unworthy ideas about God into their scriptures is one of the great blunders of the church. But such accounts are quite at home in the mindset of evangelical Americans. They love to have a God who rides into battle killing all unexceptional Peoples before the USA.
why would he care about extinguishing them? he can revive their lives, remember? so weird.. 🤔🤣🤣
Due to daylight saving I know have to till much latter for my weekly Bible reading
Bugga
Why do we have subtitles all of a sudden? Hummmm, God is up to his tricks again!
God gets really creepy in this chapter.
Maybe "remains really creepy" or "gets even more unbelievably creepy"?
@@KeriRautenkranz True.
Hey, Company meatings where you get to smoke the good stuff......... count me in.
No one can see me or they will die is actually closer to Zeus than Medusa lol. It's literally what he told the mom of Dionysus before she died after seeing his true form. So basically....its a direct rip off of Greek mythology! Lol

man i know christianity is falling but not fast enough it needs to die faster
Why do fundamentalist of any of these 3 religions look down on strippers? Obviously they are following the example of the Lord here.
Chemical or mechanical.
Whoever wrote this doesn't know who people it is first it Moses people then it's God's people then God says those people like who people is it the writers don't even f****** know 😂😂😂 and couldn't the god just make it to where Moses could see his face and not die he is all powerful right all of this is very odd
I'm beginning to think that the pillar of cloud has something to do with a doobie - holy smoke!
That explains why these characters are so poorly written. I bet you the authors of this mess were stoned.
@@harveywabbit9541 Their minds are clouded by willful ignorance and gullibilty.
Seriously, I'd say childhood indoctrination has the most to do with this junk being perpetuated from one generation to another.
These people with slaves at the start and left with lots of jewelry
Probably pilfered it from Egypt as they left
Interesting thing: in Islam, they say that God wears a hijab of pure light. The word "hijab" literally just means "barrier', and it is never used in the Qur'an to refer to a piece of clothing, so, in this case, I think of it as a wall of light surrounding God. But at the end of time, when all of God's elect are in Heaven, it's said that God lifts the barrier, and that all of the faithful see "his" face for the first time. I don't know if that's established in the Qur'an, or in the Hadith, or wherever else: I'd have to ask a Muslim. Can anyone help me out? But if that's the case, God's revealing stuff a little early in this book.
Maybe god has a phantom of the opera thing going on…
Smoke pillar? I can't imagine how Moses and Joshua could possibly make smoke. Must be a miracle. -_-
These people apparently didn't know con-men exist.
So it applies to all christians (presbytarian, catholics, jehova, baptist, advent etc) , as exodus is on every bible version
Is the cloud the same as “the sock” people hang on their doorknobs when they’re fu…nny? 😂
Moses musta been doin' some serious kush!
Seeing God's "glory" would probably be the most traumatizing thing in a lifetime 😳
Moses:Yo God, give us some deets on the rules, I dont want us accidentally upsetting you.
*name redacted*: Fineeeeee. You're lucky I like you or I'd make you keep playing the guessing game
Also, why is it that God only knows Moses by name when he is supposed to be all-knowing?
When man began to talk like Satan Jesus said him 'get behind me Satan'...... I hope you got it....
It' super weird about the jewellery thing. THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, Where and when did these people have the time to set up metallurgy? And it's been a long-as time since they left Egypt: you'd think they'd have run out of resources by now, too.
Presumably there's still some left after the tabernacle and golden calf.
I'm dropping out of the bible readings. ...i always do! I hate reading the bible, even when its presented as well as you do it!
I hate this stuff, i hate this stuff, i hate this stuff! 😏
I'll stay subbed though. Some of the other vids you post are really good too.
Thanks. 👍
Thanks for the thumbs up whoever! 😁
Hmm, I thought we were made in his image?? Therefore why would seeing his face be such a big deal?. The more I learn the more I think God was created in the image of man. Smh.
Oh yeah the deeper we go the more confident I am that I was a very smart twelve year old. I took a lot of shit for being an Atheist by the other guys on the football and basketball teams. They had no clue what being an Atheist even was back then and I only knew that religions were all bullshit and that I had no idea how the Universe started. But I was positive that Evolution was true and that the Universe was very old so the bible couldn't possibly be true. And that was enough for me back then but as I got older l began to understand the details better. I'm still learning every day and I will never stop learning until I die and that makes me happy.

Hemant! No comment on an angel “driving out” 6 nations on the first passage?
Was that just proof that God likes gay people? Sounded like God have it to some dude from behind and couldn't give a wink and a smile after he finished
@@harveywabbit9541 Jesus said, get thee behind me Satan, we don't know how the date went after that.
Now do Exodus 34, the actual commandments on the stone tablets. Does anyone celebrate the Festival of Weeks?
Exodus 33:7-11 is very... in tents.
I think Christianity (or the culture I was brought up in) taught me how to love others more effectively. I think science, my gut, and reason taught me how to think and act more intelligently. What about the good of both?
Now god is channeling The Wizard of Oz?
