I’d honestly say the person who doesn’t believe in God knows the same morals as the one who does. God’s not there to define right from wrong—as if He were, then there’d be no such thing as right from wrong.

Inherently, a way is going to be the best way, that gives everyone a shot at life, gives everyone satisfaction, and gives everyone a pathway to a better life. What way is that? The Ten Commandments. The first five are spiritual laws, giving reverence to the Judge and our stewards, and also telling us to forgive debts and rest. The last five are telling us how to treat our neighbor, so as not to take from them or deprive from them things that make people happy.

And when you know that, you start to see the beauty of the Scripture, in all that it says. The Prophets are the Heaven and Hell you get from obeying or disobeying the Law of Christ, the New Testament is the New Law of Conscience, and the Means by which God has forgiven us. The Old Testament—the Torah and History—is man’s failure to accomplish salvation for the Earth, and also the Law that condemns the world for its iniquity.

Understanding that, you start to see God is very fair, giving you an out as the world was too hard for us to do it on our own. We needed God’s help from the beginning, so therefore, God gave us His only Begotten Son, and He died on a Roman Cross in Crucifixion, was Buried in the tomb, raised on the third day, and then ascended into heaven after bodily manifesting to thousands of people, of which those people who sometimes knew Him as intimately as a Brother or Best friend, died believing this.

So, yes… Genesis is hard to understand. Yes, we’re not going to have all the answers, but even Genesis has important laws that make sense. The first chapter, tells us all things had a beginning, and God was that beginning, and He created the world, through whatever means He did, LORD Jehovah-Jireh Jesus Christ is the God of All Creation. Adam and Eve are a parable about the age of accountability, and how we need to be tender toward the youth and their sins, and not punish them with the full weight of their sins. As they don’t become accountable for their crimes, until they have knowledge of it, and full knowledge of it. That’s also why we’re a little laxed toward people in the 14 - 23 year category, as they’re not fully developed yet, either, though they receive less scrutiny than someone who is a full grown adult. The flood teaches us that Man has a bad streak, and their thoughts are evil, and God was sorry for making us because humanity was just so wicked and cruel—and He says He’ll never destroy the Earth again, which you have to think maybe it’s man and his sin nature that will destroy it, and that’s actually the book of Revelation and what it’s about.

And that’s the whole of it… scripture has a lot of important things to say about life, and what’s required of us. Like Cain and Abel, Cain is a gardener, and tries to please God through his sweat, while Abel pleases God through the activity of Love and Shepherding His flock, and nurturing them. As Abel’s sacrifice is better, because it comes from genuine love, and not from will wishing, or self willed motives. And also we understand why Jesus says “Judge not lest you be judged,” because it’s the knowledge of Good and Evil—judgment—that man attained from eating the fruit, and why we inherited destruction. Or Sodom and Gomorrah, tells us about licentious cities where every crime exists, and their judgment. The Tower of Babel tells us about how people have different philosophies, languages and narratives, that makes them unable to understand each other, and also Pentacost teaches us, that being Christians, we can have access to all knowledge, language and truth and be able to bridge the gaps through truth. Abraham’s story is about faith, and teaching us that God does not demand Human Sacrifice, as He’ll provide a sacrifice, Jacob’s story teaches us that you don’t have to be remarkable to be loved by God, and can actually live a very passive life. Isaac too. Joseph teaches us about the victim, being badly treated for nothing he did wrong, and how women can have absolute power over a man in this way, to destroy him utterly, but God will raise him up above his enemies. It also teaches us to be wary of women who lie about rape.

There’s a ton of stuff in the story of Exodus, too… How God will deliver the oppressed and set them free, even when they don’t deserve it. As God says to Israel, “It’s not for your righteousness I give you these lands, but for the nations dwelling among it, and their sin.” Of which, you can read about their sins, that the nations practiced all lying abomination, and that’s why God delivered it into the hands of Israel. The parable of Babylon sacking Jerusalem, is about a nation favored by God, losing its favor, and being punished for its crimes as it no longer has equity, and dishonors its sabbaths by making everyone work to the bone and have no rest, as that’s the only way they have an economy. That and also rampant sexual perversion and they sin by giving their good freely to the surrounding nations, which they gave their property and money and trade to the other nations for nothing, and this made them poor and susceptiable to Babylonian Rule. Something the US is doing, too, which it shouldn’t be.

I’ve looked it over, studying the entire Bible for 20 years, and looking at its historical context—it’s all sound. I actually even understand some of the contentions you’ll use—like you’re talking about “Tyre” with the geography bit—but I know if I dig deeply enough, the Bible’s always sound.

So, just to go through each of your points:

I know the background, and have written a lot about it. It comes from a man named Abraham, and a tribe called the Hebrews, who found God, and migrated out of Mesopotamia, into Egypt, and then into Canaan, and the linguistic tracings prove this in scripture.

The contradictions are not thematic, and that’s all that matters. God’s not a pedant.

There are no errors, the historical provenance of the Bible is actually very strong, and I’ve got an entire answer that proves that, with thousands of pieces of evidence corroborating scripture. Undeniable proof, too.

The legends come from the Patriarchs, and actually your Epic of Gilgamesh proves that, too, that it’s not actually Gilgamesh who tells the flood story but Unuptashem, which possibly shows that the author met one of the Ark Travelers at a tavern, and was inspired to write the epic. Not to mention, the scriptures show contact with Mesopotamia, as they should, in both law and theme, as Abraham was an Amorite, that’s well documented in the Bible.

The forgeries come from Mesopotamia, not the Bible. The Bible comes from the original manuscripts of the Patriarchs, the one coming from Abraham (El) and the other coming from Jacob in Egypt (Yahweh) and we have evidence to corroborate this fact.

I’ve studied the academic theories more than you have—trust me—and they’re so close to discovering the Bible’s true, it’s literally one discovery that’s already made, that has to break into the mainstream, and it’s all over for your High Criticism and Documentary hypothesis.

Okay, so actually, the tradition of the Bible dates back to Neolithic Times—as the Book of Job comes from that era.

There was a Patriarchal line, which kept record of the stories, such as the Garden of Eden or the Flood or Tower of Babel, which was inherited to Mesopotamia through Abraham and Shem. And Abraham codified the Law—which Moses would use in the Torah—which you can find in Hammurabi's code. And also the stories in Genesis where given through two codexes, one from Jacob’s line and the other from Abraham and Isaac’s. El from Mesopotamia and Yahweh from Egypt.

So, this Patriarchal line was preserved, and their traditions, through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and codified by Moses around 1300bc, where he merged the manuscripts, and took the Laws of Abraham and made them into the Books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus, with a priesthood. And he was given the Ten Commandments directly from God. And the books of Moses were a Polemic against Sin.

Then, Christ came into the World, and abolished the Law and Testament of Moses—because it was not good—and gave us a pure law of Conscience, as God entered into the World in the Flesh of a Man, and died by crucifixion, and was buried, and raised on the third day, and ascended into heaven, where He is seated next to God, ready to come back and judge the living and the dead.

I don’t know if I like this. Because at what point does bringing a Bible to a classroom become a crime? Or saying a prayer? Just let the rainbow flags alone. They’re not the worst thing in the world, and I kind of like them. A solid, anti-Homosexuality Christian here, but do unto your neighbor as you would have them do to you. It’s not something depraved. It’s just a rainbow. And we ought to have mercy on them, as we ourselves want to obtain mercy. And preach the full gospel of repentance of sin, and teach them their sins are going to lead them to hell.

Transgenderism needs to be banned from schools, though, as that actually hurts people. A rainbow flag does not. At least it shouldn’t. Like you wouldn’t allow students to copulate in the school, why would you let them mutilate themselves and go into public Locker Rooms and expose themselves? It’s a line that you cross, from ideas to action.

Just like with Christianity, you can cross that line. It should lead you to bold and good actions in Christ Jesus, of Charity, Mercy and Good Will. And also teaching truth. It’s like, I’ve read many Martyrdoms over the past two months, and you have to realize there’s two Christians in that room. The one is killing the other for a difference of belief. And every single one of those martyrs, they preach on mercy, forgiveness and truth. And every single one of those Inquisitors wants to kill them over something as banal as baptism. Understand those things, because that’s the reality we’re all facing. Not a single one of those martyrs were actually killed for their baptism, either. It was the faith their baptism represented, which is purity, truth, love and goodness. They found the Catholic Church was Antichrist at that time, and teaching people that they could sin. That’s what led them to get baptized, was they coveted righteousness. And that’s the only thing you ought to covet, is the LORD’s righteousness, and be purified through a good conscience in Christ Jesus.

I also have to say, the Inquisitors knew their Bibles, too, and had perfect Theology. Theology isn’t what saves you.

You need to cleans your feed if you're getting these videos. Watch Taylor Alessia, What Do You Meme, Living Waters, Off the Kirb Ministries, also watch sermons by Jay Vernon McGee, David Wilkerson, watch Wretched, Exploration Bible, Sean McDowell, Ruslan KD, Mike Winger. Just watch videos like that straight through, and it should clean your feed of that nonsense. And try not to click on those kinds of videos, as then the algorithms won't suggest them to you. God bless! Some smaller channels are Colin Miller and Lion of Fire Ministries. Oh and Testify. Can't forget them. Christian Sermons and Audio Books is great too, and there's a great hymnery on YouTube you can find through my playlists. I also like C. S. Lewis Insights.
