This is the verse where god "hardened pharaoh's heart." This is the example I give to Christians when they ramble about how god won't interfere with people's free will.
This is why I like The Prince of Egypt's version more. "You who I call brother, how could you call down another blow? Is this what you wanted?

"And Moses said; "No." Then the Lord pointed to another card, repeating the request. Moses picked it up and gasped with shock and horror. His card was... leprousy. And then he had a heart attack."
One weird concept, you have an invisible sky wizard they claim to love all of humanity but then has a chosen special people so he plays favorites. And apparently Yahweh is tribal. But the sinister aspect of it is he wants to play favorites with a bunch of hairless apes who are prone to violence toward each other. Yes Yahweh is a sadist.
Not to mention he infects one of his supposedly beloved prophets with leprousy. If that's what he does to his friends, you don't want to know what he does to his enemies.
This chapter explains why God won't heal blind, deaf and mute people, he made them that way. He must have made amputees also, because he doesn't heal them either.

That one part is just so bizarre. Until you realize the Bible was compiled from a whole bunch of other stories, that don't all fit together. A moment ago, God could not appear in person, like he did in Genesis. Now he suddenly can again. And then he's back to the sequel version. Almost like someone inserted a completely unrelated story in the only place they thought it would fit chronologically.

No. God is dynamic. God know what we can understand and what we cannot understand at every moment of our evolution. 2,000 years ago people had no concept of the internet, phones, planes etc... We at that time did not know how to navigate natural phenomena without attaching a religious context to our beliefs. Today we have the scientific method and a very long and rich history of discovery at our disposal. We have learned much much more about life itself. God know we had to grow into this larger pool of intellect so he has given us the time we need to learn.

@@joseph-thewatcher I'm serious Atheist are wrong God do exist. God has given us His mathematical name to prove He exist. His name is "God's Mind Is Man Changed With God" In math His name is Infinity = 1/x(delta) + 1. His name tells us for the first time in all of history what is a number. A number is a set in space that change with space. This is what we do whenever we count. We count by ordering sets in the space of our mind. Here are somethings we learn from understand what His name tells us. We get a better picture of Gravity. Gravity is matter changing with space. We get the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity. Q is how space behaves and R is the relationship of sets of this Q behavior.

To your question: I did some checking. The bible uses the term "almighty" a couple of times, including in Genesis 17:1. Apparently there are some references to almighty god in Acts and G.John, and somewhere in Revelation, but I didn't see citations. It was mentioned in the first ecumenical council of Nicaea in 325. Thomas Aquinas wrote about the inherent paradoxes of it in the 13th century. But "omnipotence" didn't enter the english lexicon until the early 14th Century. Nowhere in there did I find any proof for a god nor its power level. Source: A quick Google search
@@PBAmygdala2021 I see. Thanks for checking it out. So it sounds like God is only referred to as almighty in the bible, which is quite likely exaggerations to begin with. And later theologians further exaggerated that to full on philosophical omnipotence. Interesting how many Christian fundamental claims aren't really in the bible.
@@stevewebber707 SO MUCH Jewish and Christian mythology is basically fanfic. See basically all of Jewish mysticism and how much of what is thought of as lore about the Devil or Hell comes from literature like Milton's _Paradise Lost_ and Dante's _Inferno_ .

I did some reading about the circumcision passage, and it seems that even the ancient Rabbis were puzzled about that passage 2000 years ago. It may be a fragment, and that we need Paul Harvey to tell us the rest of the story.
I agree, just the thought of someone just grabbing a rock and cutting off a child's forskin for Gods blood lust and they dont see anything wrong with the story.
Well a lot of religious people are indoctrinated from birth so they don't have the freedom to chose to believe all those fairytales they just simply do it, and very few of them who are probably in desperate situations already don't have a logical thinking, actually chose to believe there's a afterlife to escape the fear of death, and they found a protector who cares about their little problems (even though it doesn't look that way from the bible), most of them are lost cases and think irrational and that can be seen here in the comments,

How does Moses have a brother? Wasn't the Pharaoh killing all male Israelite babies? Isn't that the reason Moses was tossed in the river? Where was Aaron, the Levite, hidden?
Comic books revamp origin stories all the time. Recently I saw (didn't read) that Wonder Woman also had a brother... and before that, Superman (Kal-el) was the "last son of Krypton" until quite a few other Kryptonians began showing up (Krypto, Kara-el, etc.) because... editors thought readership would increase (they were right). That's just DC comics, but Marvel has done similar rewrites. So which are more interesting: comic books or the bible? 🤔🤔🤔😊
I think the passage implies that Moses was to repeat the staff to snake and instant leprosy signs once he got back. That being said I don’t think these events ever happened.
Elizabeth Duran When you analyze the story from an incorrect perspective, like Hemant, and don’t take the time to study 📖 or seek correct help, the Bible will sound ridiculous.
Yes, I am ex evangelical, every Sunday our pastor would twist this to tell us a glorious story and we all swallowed it as we had faith in Jesus, as our Lord and Saviour. Now I can see what all this is about; you need only few sheets of paper, a pencil and above all a very clear mind and take notes and you will explode in laughter.

@@PBAmygdala2021 Hello and “incorrect” is the way Hemant is doing in these videos. “Who is the judge of what is correct or incorrect?” Depends, with God, God’s the judge, without God, you, me and everybody else. As for the set of rules written, yes there is, again depends.
@@Daniel-cz7kd thanks for your reply. If you are saying that god is the judge, then why are you here performing the judging on God's behalf? Did God instruct you to do so? Has God written an edict that you are his personal ambassador? It seems like you are speaking for God. That sound quite arrogant and risky to me. You could get in a lot of 'hell' type trouble for such blasphemy. And again, where is it written? Depends on what? Sounds pretty vague to me. What it sounds like to me is that you are passing on judgement that you heard someone else say about anyone who doesn't obey, like, and subscribe to your team. So you're not telling us anything we haven't heard 1000 times before. What was the name of that fellow who said "Judge not, lest ye be judged"? Yes, I'm being facetious, but it's to hit home a point: your pronouncements and judgments are entirely your own work and your choice. I haven't seen God instructing you to judge. But I have read him instruct you specifically NOT to judge. Unfortunately I must apply the term "hypocrite" to your actions here today. If you won't even hold yourself accountable to your own rules, then what sort of example are you setting for people that you are hoping to convert to your faith? I hope you will strive to set a better example. After that, I hope you will strive to adjust your communication techniques and tactics to best reach different types of audiences. For non-believers they only require one thing: proof. So it would be great if the Christians would just provide it, and then we can put aside this debate and all believe the same thing. We look forward to that proof. Thanks in advance.
The god in Exodus is having a hard time getting Moses to do what he (god) wants. It seems to me that this god character is a malfunction in the neural pathways of Moses brain.
You're more on track than you realize, perhaps. God is about concepts, actions, then manifestations. God is a conceptual deity of our mind. The things that have all the power over us. Our own thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and principles, do indeed have supreme, guiding power. Our minds are guided by directives and suggestions from within or without. The Bible is all about human nature, our psychology, and physiology. There are many gods that one can follow, we should choose wisely.
@@stevedyches4635 Interesting, akin to Jungian archetypes, or Blake's 4 Zoas, or Hindu aspects? But then, what is possession, or manifestations, let alone 'strong delusion', that favourite selective clause of many declamatory theologians?
@@chrissonofpear1384 I'm slightly familiar with Jung. I need to read more of him. I see possessions as things we hold on to, in the mind, or aspects of our personality. Things like thoughts and beliefs that are difficult or have no desire to let go of, like moods and attitudes, fears, and delusions. Manifestations are simply what comes about through thought processes that are put into action, or activated, or psychological consequences that come about from self-speak. Many, if not all psychoses are self-induced, the so-called demons that possess us. One thing that I know of and like about Jung's musings is when he talks about people that think too much to where all they tend to think about are their own thoughts. Their thought world becomes their reality as they gradually lose touch with the external reality. They become disinterested with it, even frustrated when it is interrupted or interfered with. They tend to be wholly self-obsessed. I have two sisters and a mother that are like that. They are trapped or imprisoned and consumed by all the crap that keeps churning in their heads. Oh, what a tangled web we weave... They are truly filled with strong delusion from perpetrating and perpetuating falsehoods. All three are narcissistic nightmares full of spite, malice, and hatred. They are fooling themselves by thinking they are fooling others, so crafty they are. It pays to be true to yourself, at the least.

Who would’ve thought the very beginning of the Bible placed such a heavy emphasis on baby penis skin. I always assumed that was like a one off Leviticus rule, not one of the Lord’s biggest obsessions
Maybe the reason they never said exactly how god presented himself to people all through Genesis is because it was always something ridiculous like this. A burning bush, a talking pitcher of milk, a burning loaf of bread, some floating socks.
I’ll give people credit; I think when it says “god will harden Pharos heart” it means something more like; Gods actions will cause pharo to try act defiant in the action. In a way someone might try to double down when being attacked or something. Feel free to word this better or that I’m wrong
I think it a polytheistic remnant: originally a separate god influencing Pharaoh, and later overenthusiastic monotheistic scribes crediting their one god with the actions of all gods in the story. Even when it makes no sense.
Perhaps Pharaoh was seeing the bigger picture. If all the Hebrews/Jews up and leave the country, the economy will be destroyed. He knows they are (sterotypically?) business people and generally hard workers as well. I suspect, too, that the people who say they want to leave are well paid and unaware that the land they (tell themselves they) want to move to is already inhabited and also a bit farther away than a few days' walk. Perhaps Pharaoh wanted to compromise and agree that some people should scout ahead to see what they were getting into (for, as subjects of the Pharaoh, he had the duty of protecting them). But no, there's this big, fat, fiery (orange?) buffoon who is demanding that all the Hebrews/Jews leave, follow him (well, he can't walk on that bum foot, whichever one it is, so follow Moses), and, hey, build a wall between Egypt and wherever buffoon wants the people to settle. No compromises -- and Egypt's gonna pay for it all, too! Blah.

Interesting how an all-powerful god capable of causing disabilities and slaughtering humans and animals, by the thousands, had to scratch his head a little to find a workaround for Moses' stutter. So, poor Aaron had to be drawn into the drama when the same god could have just cured Moses of his stutter and cut out the "middle man" ! Also a missed opportunity for god to gently ease Moses into some of the destructive plans he had lined up against the Egyptians, instead of all that complicated game of hide-and-seek in burning bush.
note: In Hebrew Foot and leg are the same word "Regel". Same with arm and hand "Yad". If one wants to refer to a specific part of the arm/leg, one needs to add words, like hand would be "Caf Yad" (spoon of the hand). This explains the strange translation
And the Lamenites, and the Neephites, and the Electrolytes, and the Pro Fights, and the Night Lights, and the Jadeite, and the Nephrite, and the Zoisite.
I'm surprised, considering how utterly awful leprousy is, Moses didn't die of shock when he saw he suddenly got it. "So Moses put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out his hand was leparous- the skin had become as white as snow. And Moses clutched his chest as his heart pained him so great was his fear and shock. He fell, spasming, a great pain welled in his chest, then he was still. And the Lord said "Crap, need a new prophet." Though that didn't stop him from trying to kill his erstwhile prophet, cause he didn't get snipped. Then he's stopped by Zipporah with... her son's foreskin!? This sounds like a horror movie! On drugs. Unrelatedly, I suddenly feel very itchy.

We at that time did not know how to navigate natural phenomena without attaching a religious context to our beliefs. Today we have the scientific method and a very long and rich history of discovery at our disposal. We have learned much much more about life itself. God know we had to grow into this larger pool of intellect so he has given us the time we need to learn. Now we are ready to know his mathematical name which is 1/x(change) +1. translated His name is "God's Mind Is Man Changed With God." Go to my pdf doc to learn more. The address is in the chat above.

@@joseph-thewatcher I'm serious Atheist are wrong God do exist. God has given us His mathematical name to prove He exist. His name is "God's Mind Is Man Changed With God" In math His name is Infinity = 1/x(delta) + 1. His name tells us for the first time in all of history what is a number. A number is a set in space that change with space. This is what we do whenever we count. We count by ordering sets in the space of our mind. Here are somethings we learn from understand what His name tells us.
We get a better picture of Gravity. Gravity is matter changing with space. We get the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity. Q is how space behaves and R is the relationship of sets of this Q behavior. We get to learn God loves us so much that He named Himself for us. We are here by design.

I was just realizing there are parallels between magic and morality from God in the Christian philosophy. Both are essentially defined as good only if directly from God.
You know, if I was a believer, and I came across a fire, and the powers it showed me were conjuring snakes, disease and blood, I would have to yell "Begone, satan!" at it. The all-powerful creator of the universe is a bush burning with eternal fire that conjures dark omens? Am I the only one that reads this and thinks "If this really happened, this was definitely the devil?"
The story was told before the devil was created (or, rather, adapted from the Persians). So it gets a grandfather clause pass.

To your question:
I did some checking.
The bible uses the term "almighty" a couple of times, including in Genesis 17:1.
Apparently there are some references to almighty god in Acts and G.John, and somewhere in Revelation, but I didn't see citations.
It was mentioned in the first ecumenical council of Nicaea in 325.
Thomas Aquinas wrote about the inherent paradoxes of it in the 13th century.
But "omnipotence" didn't enter the english lexicon until the early 14th Century.
Nowhere in there did I find any proof for a god nor its power level.
Source:
A quick Google search
@@PBAmygdala2021 I see. Thanks for checking it out.
So it sounds like God is only referred to as almighty in the bible, which is quite likely exaggerations to begin with. And later theologians further exaggerated that to full on philosophical omnipotence.

Well a lot of religious people are indoctrinated from birth so they don't have the freedom to chose to believe all those fairytales they just simply do it, and very few of them who are probably in desperate situations already don't have a logical thinking, actually chose to believe there's a afterlife to escape the fear of death, and they found a protector who cares about their little problems (even though it doesn't look that way from the bible), most of them are lost cases and think irrational and that can be seen here in the comments,

Snakes and leprosy: worst board game ever!
Moses threw down his living staff and it became a Snake on a Plain!
plot twist: moses’ “burning bush” was actually a stripper he met a while back named Fuzzy Bottom.
awsome reading. Please keep on reading, that would be super awesome. You are doing more than all Christians do in their life, reading the whole bible
How does Moses have a brother? Wasn't the Pharaoh killing all male Israelite babies? Isn't that the reason Moses was tossed in the river? Where was Aaron, the Levite, hidden?
They were "brothas" not brothers. Like the movie Band Of Brothers.
Comic books revamp origin stories all the time. Recently I saw (didn't read) that Wonder Woman also had a brother... and before that, Superman (Kal-el) was the "last son of Krypton" until quite a few other Kryptonians began showing up (Krypto, Kara-el, etc.) because... editors thought readership would increase (they were right). That's just DC comics, but Marvel has done similar rewrites. So which are more interesting: comic books or the bible? 🤔🤔🤔😊
He was busy making jeans.
Why didn't God just make Moses bold or fix his "not a good speaker" problem. Why the extra step of going through his brother?
So when everyone washes other people's "feet," they don't mean what I think what we all think they mean by "feet?"
I think the passage implies that Moses was to repeat the staff to snake and instant leprosy signs once he got back. That being said I don’t think these events ever happened.

“Who is the judge of what is correct or incorrect?” Depends, with God, God’s the judge, without God, you, me and everybody else.

@@Daniel-cz7kd thanks for your reply.
If you are saying that god is the judge, then why are you here performing the judging on God's behalf? Did God instruct you to do so? Has God written an edict that you are his personal ambassador?
It seems like you are speaking for God. That sound quite arrogant and risky to me. You could get in a lot of 'hell' type trouble for such blasphemy.
And again, where is it written? Depends on what? Sounds pretty vague to me.
What it sounds like to me is that you are passing on judgement that you heard someone else say about anyone who doesn't obey, like, and subscribe to your team. So you're not telling us anything we haven't heard 1000 times before.
What was the name of that fellow who said "Judge not, lest ye be judged"?
Yes, I'm being facetious, but it's to hit home a point: your pronouncements and judgments are entirely your own work and your choice. I haven't seen God instructing you to judge. But I have read him instruct you specifically NOT to judge. Unfortunately I must apply the term "hypocrite" to your actions here today.
If you won't even hold yourself accountable to your own rules, then what sort of example are you setting for people that you are hoping to convert to your faith?
I hope you will strive to set a better example.
After that, I hope you will strive to adjust your communication techniques and tactics to best reach different types of audiences. For non-believers they only require one thing: proof.
So it would be great if the Christians would just provide it, and then we can put aside this debate and all believe the same thing. We look forward to that proof.
Thanks in advance.
I just want to say thank you!
The god in Exodus is having a hard time getting Moses to do what he (god) wants.

You're more on track than you realize, perhaps. God is about concepts, actions, then manifestations. God is a conceptual deity of our mind. The things that have all the power over us. Our own thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and principles, do indeed have supreme, guiding power. Our minds are guided by directives and suggestions from within or without. The Bible is all about human nature, our psychology, and physiology. There are many gods that one can follow, we should choose wisely.
@@stevedyches4635 Interesting, akin to Jungian archetypes, or Blake's 4 Zoas, or Hindu aspects?
But then, what is possession, or manifestations, let alone 'strong delusion', that favourite selective clause of many declamatory theologians?
@@chrissonofpear1384 I'm slightly familiar with Jung. I need to read more of him. I see possessions as things we hold on to, in the mind, or aspects of our personality. Things like thoughts and beliefs that are difficult or have no desire to let go of, like moods and attitudes, fears, and delusions. Manifestations are simply what comes about through thought processes that are put into action, or activated, or psychological consequences that come about from self-speak. Many, if not all psychoses are self-induced, the so-called demons that possess us. One thing that I know of and like about Jung's musings is when he talks about people that think too much to where all they tend to think about are their own thoughts. Their thought world becomes their reality as they gradually lose touch with the external reality. They become disinterested with it, even frustrated when it is interrupted or interfered with. They tend to be wholly self-obsessed. I have two sisters and a mother that are like that. They are trapped or imprisoned and consumed by all the crap that keeps churning in their heads. Oh, what a tangled web we weave... They are truly filled with strong delusion from perpetrating and perpetuating falsehoods. All three are narcissistic nightmares full of spite, malice, and hatred. They are fooling themselves by thinking they are fooling others, so crafty they are. It pays to be true to yourself, at the least.
4:24 - Why the Lord wanted to kill Moses!? Why was the son not circumcised yet? Why touch with the skin Moses' feet (not Lord's)? I don't get any of these 2 sentences. And what did the Lord appear like?

Who would’ve thought the very beginning of the Bible placed such a heavy emphasis on baby penis skin. I always assumed that was like a one off Leviticus rule, not one of the Lord’s biggest obsessions
Maybe the reason they never said exactly how god presented himself to people all through Genesis is because it was always something ridiculous like this. A burning bush, a talking pitcher of milk, a burning loaf of bread, some floating socks.
Exodus 4:14-17 (let Aaron speak) sounds like a just-so story for why there were priests and why the congregation should listen to them
I’ll give people credit;
I think when it says “god will harden Pharos heart” it means something more like;
Gods actions will cause pharo to try act defiant in the action. In a way someone might try to double down when being attacked or something.
Feel free to word this better or that I’m wrong
I think it a polytheistic remnant: originally a separate god influencing Pharaoh, and later overenthusiastic monotheistic scribes crediting their one god with the actions of all gods in the story. Even when it makes no sense.
Perhaps Pharaoh was seeing the bigger picture. If all the Hebrews/Jews up and leave the country, the economy will be destroyed. He knows they are (sterotypically?) business people and generally hard workers as well. I suspect, too, that the people who say they want to leave are well paid and unaware that the land they (tell themselves they) want to move to is already inhabited and also a bit farther away than a few days' walk.
Perhaps Pharaoh wanted to compromise and agree that some people should scout ahead to see what they were getting into (for, as subjects of the Pharaoh, he had the duty of protecting them). But no, there's this big, fat, fiery (orange?) buffoon who is demanding that all the Hebrews/Jews leave, follow him (well, he can't walk on that bum foot, whichever one it is, so follow Moses), and, hey, build a wall between Egypt and wherever buffoon wants the people to settle.

'Bridegroom of Blood!' Didn't Roger Corman make that movie in 1956?
„A Story of penises and blood mixed with a lot of fillers“ This sound like a great concept for HBO.
Interesting how an all-powerful god capable of causing disabilities and slaughtering humans and animals, by the thousands, had to scratch his head a little to find a workaround for Moses' stutter.
So, poor Aaron had to be drawn into the drama when the same god could have just cured Moses of his stutter and cut out the "middle man" ! Also a missed opportunity for god to gently ease Moses into some of the destructive plans he had lined up against the Egyptians, instead of all that complicated game of hide-and-seek in burning bush.
Funny how it seems like God didn't know the people would believe Moses immediately hence the contingency plans lol
note: In Hebrew Foot and leg are the same word "Regel". Same with arm and hand "Yad".

I'm surprised, considering how utterly awful leprousy is, Moses didn't die of shock when he saw he suddenly got it. "So Moses put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out his hand was leparous- the skin had become as white as snow. And Moses clutched his chest as his heart pained him so great was his fear and shock. He fell, spasming, a great pain welled in his chest, then he was still. And the Lord said "Crap, need a new prophet."
Though that didn't stop him from trying to kill his erstwhile prophet, cause he didn't get snipped. Then he's stopped by Zipporah with... her son's foreskin!? This sounds like a horror movie! On drugs.
