My Response to a Fundamentalist Christian
This is my answer to a very devout Bible believing Christian who regularly leaves comments on my You Tube channel. He commented: “Danny, you do not believe the bible. You must say yes to the bible. You are wrong because you do not agree that the bible is God’s Holy word”.
I answered: You are right that I do not say yes to the whole bible. I disagree with the bible that we should own another human being as property and beat them if I want. That is evil, “If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property”. Exodus 21: 20 (See also Exodus 21: 20, Exodus 21:1-4, Deuteronomy 15:12-18, Exodus 21:7, Leviticus 25:44-46, Leviticus 25:48-53, Genesis 17:13, Deuteronomy 21:10-14, Deuteronomy 20:14, Leviticus 19:20-22, Deuteronomy 23:15-16, Exodus 21:8, Leviticus 25:39, Exodus 21:16, Deuteronomy 24:7, II Kings 4:1, Exodus 20:10, 1 Peter 2:18, Ephesians 6:5-9, Colossians 3:22-25, 1 Timothy 6:1-5, Titus 2:9-10,15, 1 Corinthians 12:13
I disagree with the bible’s teaching that Genocide, war and killing is good if done in the name of God. I think it is evil to murder women, children and nursing babies splitting open the bellies of pregnant women: This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.' 1 Samuel 15:2-3 (see also: Deuteronomy 7:1-2, Hosea 13:16, Exodus 23:23, 1 Samuel 15: 3, Judges 20:48, Joshua 6:20-21, Psalm 137:9, Judges 20:48, 1 Samuel 15:2-3, Jeremiah 48:10, Numbers 31:15-18, Deut. 2:34, Deuteronomy. 3:6: , Joshua 6:21, Joshua 8:26, Joshua 10:28-40, Joshua 10:8 -11)
I disagree with selling women or taking them in war or sex slavery worse than Jeffery Epstein:
15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.Numbers 31:19 or
When you go to war11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. Deuteronomy 21:10-13 or
If a man sell his daughter as a slave she is not to go free as the men servants do Exodus 21:7
I disagree with believing in an angry jealous God who punishes children for the sins of their great great grandparents. Exodus 34:7, Deut. 5:9
I disagree with the bible’s portrayal of God who has no love for us unless we obey his law and worship him: But if you do not obey me and keep all my commands,I will cause terrible things to happen to you. I will cause you to have disease and kill you slowly. Leviticus 26:16
I do not believe in a God who sent plagues, famine, fire from heaven and carried out 139 murderous rampages ranging from a few to 70,000, 100,000, 500,000 and even every living plant, animal and person on earth except Noah who later was passed out drunk and naked. Actually there are 158 killing sprees in the Catholic bible because it has 7 extra books Martin Luther removed from the bible because he didn’t like them and he fought to remove James, Jude, and Revelations but failed.
I could go on and on but I have probably answered your comments 100 times or more and I don’t care anymore what you believe. How about this? I will respect your right to believe in a talking snake that made Jesus have to come and save you and you can believe the entire bible and follow Yahweh. I will just follow Jesus Christ and live my life to be like him and we can love one another which is the greatest commandment of Jesus to us. Blessings to you my friend.
