In this episode, we’ll deconstruct Deuteronomy 28, where god lays out the blessings and curses for those who obey, and those who don’t.

"Your God's love is not unconditional. He does not love US, and he does not love YOU."
– Blue Fangs Demon, Castlevania
Insurance they say he gives us a choice. I have a hard time with believing there is any kind of choice in what you just read.
I think those are really the rules of the church. So they can get money and build huge churches and make Bank.
Are her eyes for real?
I think people most people in church they're just a bunch of sheeple. Do what I say not what I do or a bunch of preachers that I've seen in my lifetime and I'm 62 years old. My dad was actually a preacher. I had a bunch of questions back in the day. Did you beat me. My dad said well you weren't altogether back then when you are 5. But again I'll say I had to find a way to forgive him and know that people in church everywhere else are sick to some extent or another . I do want to treat others like I would like to be treated. That isn't because of some Bible verse.
Great job of pointing out the Conditional love by use of control through Fear tactics kind of love that people are to have toward God. Where is ones Free Will there? Also going deeper, reading into the scriptures, one will Also read that to belive in Jesus and obey him, one could be persecuted, thrown in prison, beaten or killed because of their faith. Hmmm. Darn if you do and Darn if you don't.Either way you live you will face bad crap. All this is about Fear tactics to " Cause " people to obey, worship, and love this God. No free will, no choice. That has Roman Fear tactics written All over the Bible!! Fear is a way to Controll the masses. Yet some that live by every word of the Bible Still suffer, cancer, illness, pain, suffering and We all die a physical death. None of any of this is of a truly Loving God. Hitler / Roman / Greek type of mentality. Who could truly love and truly want to worship and love a parent or Gov system or any God with this kind of force through fear of harsh punishment if one doesn't worship him hanging over them as a way to Force love and Obedience ?. I could not love my spouce that way nor would i feel true love from another if i used fear to Force another to Love me. If God is the creator of all of us and can bless everyone, and is all powerful and good, Why would a God Need to Demand worship and obedience through use of Fear and harsh punishment?? Anyone who would see that he was loving an all powerful would Not need any fear of harsh punishments in order to receive full worship, Obedience and True love from the people. Do people Seriously Love God or Jesus with all this fear and control held over their heads?? Can anyone truly Love anyone like that?? If you were to write down all the evil things about Satan, how much of things about God fit that description? Satan actually means adversary, aposer . God says he is good and he makes evil too. Think hard about that..
WOW, what a loving God, Yeah right. The Bible- God's word, boy are we in trouble,
Thank you for bringing this to light.
What an egotistical God, demands worship.

Believers are just idiots….they're the most hateful type of human beings on the planet….they will hurt other people to defend their view.
Your NOT educated and you have no understanding of the Bible. This makes you a FALSE PROPHET!!!
Do you have a life outside of social media.?
Well what of your enemies that attack you? They weren't living right either. If he sends the heathen then how come the heathens are doing well enough to win an invasion? Seems they would be afflicted too.
The commandments basically tell us to treat each other with love. If you disobey God’s commandments, you’re fucking with his children. If someone fucked with your child, wouldn’t you want that fucker to be punished into submission?
In a compressed current history; Russia atrocities in Ukraine (Syria & Georgia before), Hamas atrocities in ISRAEL, ISRAEL atrocities in Hamas, In Africa, S. America, I find an IRONIC COMMON FACTOR! 🤔 The RELIGIOUS Texts:
Reference Deuteronomy for the all too FAMILIAR Method of Operation (MO):
Deuteronomy 20:10-14
"Cities of the Enemy.
10e When you draw near a city to attack it, offer it terms of peace.
11If it agrees to your terms of peace and lets you in, all the people to be found in it shall serve you in forced labor.
12f But if it refuses to make peace with you and instead joins battle with you, lay siege to it,
13and when the LORD, your God, delivers it into your power, put every male in it to the sword;
14but the women and children and livestock and anything else in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder for yourselves, and you may enjoy this spoil of your enemies, which the LORD, your God, has given you."
SUMMARY: at age 11, I got a taste of this "God" in a Missionary Boarding School!
A painful "Gift", realizing the God of the Jews, their relatives; Christians, Islam, Orthodox, etc. follow a seriously NARCISSISTIC Sociopathic God; which feasts on "Drama, CHAOS and DIVISION"; which are traits of a NARCISSISTIC Borderline Personality DISORDER (NBPD)!
SUMMARY: THESE CURRENT EVENTS of War, are all too SIMILAR! "The ENDS Justify the MEANS!", common also with the NAZI CULTURE. 🤔

Don't have the time now but will watch friday then give my comment
Now y'all can understand why the monotheistic religions behave so horrendously, evil isn't the glitch, it's the feature. Sounds a lot like what happens people in abusive relationships, doesn't? But then, I see nothing to suggest that God dictated these scrolls, and everything to indicate that they were dreamt up by power hungry, hyper controlling men, with much more than a lot of evil in them. Or, that's where the exercise of my freewill leads me anyhoo.
I would like to know how you handled the Christmas holiday. I am not a Christian anymore but I always had a Christmas dinner for my family. I reminded them that "Jesus is the reason for this season". I don't believe it anymore. I'm a bit confused on how to brake it to them. I love your videos, they are so eye opening and help me so much. Thank you💞
Israel was SCATTERED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH AS FORETOLD.
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"- Deuteronomy 30:19. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be Saved!
GOD DONT LOVE HUMANITY IF ITS NOT HUMANE…😢😮😢😮😢
Considering what Dionysus threatens to do to people's genitals if they don't worship HIM, I think this is a tough call. Either way you're screwed.
I think you had a awful pastor and leaders..your interpretation of the word is God is totally off..what are you going to do when you stand before Yahuah on the judgement seat..but but but that's all your going to say..but I don't know your heart…and you Want proof have you ever heard of the dead sea scrolls..which is 99 percent dead on MATCH…GO LOOK IT UP..AND REPENT
The creation will not and can not sustain without the creator. The reason why we cringe at the bad and cursing because it's all the created one knows outside of the creator. We are crabs in a buck without the hand of God. How dare he subject us to cursing, but it's automatic when we are withdrawn from him. We don't need to know and understand cursing it's how we enter this life naked, vulnerable, afraid and hungry and Lord don't let our parents be messed up or stained with stench that we fall in the hands of naked, vulnerable and afraid. We need the Lord. He first commands us to love him and he will lead in the rest.
God is LOVE ❤️
At 13:41 there is the worst of it all!
.banger
Crazy that in 2023 theres still people believing in fairytale characters presenting as God 😂
Some of what you read reminds me of what God allowed Satan to do with Job, in spite of Job living in God's ways!
Regarding sending men to ravish the wife: So he will send rapist to commit adultery which he commanded against! Job lived in a way to Glorify God and what happened to Job? Yes there are those who will Job has become too proud of his relationship with God. Did this not Glorify God that a man would have such faith and be proud of his God for the blessings? God returned it all X2 in the end. Did God bring Job's wife, children and servants back? No! God thought replacements would do! What would you say to God about his? I guarantee my family cannot just so callously replaced! So God gave Job X2 what he had: Why? Could it be because God had allowed Satan to Take (Steal) from Job ( for the sake of a tet-a-tet between God and Satan) the old testament penalty for stealing was having to pay back X2. Notice it does not indicate he got two wives this go around! Does this not indicate GOD sanctioned Stealing From Job and in effect was just as culpable since he could have stopped it? What: is there a commandment God made about: Thou shalt not steal? Rules for thee , but not for me if I can Glorify Myself. That is not Benevolence! Ever wonder why there was a war in Heaven? Actually there is evidence that this God (Yahweh is Not The True God)! Look into Yahweh and the Annunaki! Really Great Video Kristi.
The direction wasn't to humanity, it was to Israel.
It still blows my mind that any living being still buy into any religion ..it's so disturbing and such a draw on our world what we could've without this God…we are less for it not more.
There are four books and 27 chapters that lead to Deuteronomy 28 and the blessing and curses God gives to the Jews. So, yes. Context is still key.
I think the problem is that Christians do not study the OT enough and, thereby bring a false or “incomplete” image of the God of the Bible.
God is a loving God who also kills people in floods (Genesis 6, 7 and 8) causes humanity to die after 120 years max (Genesis 6:5) and has no problems ending your life. For one reason or another. We ALL die, do we not? That’s by God’s design. You do not need the bible to know that we all die.
Jesus is here to be the suffering servant to save those in humanity who will receive him. But Jesus also returns on a white horse with a sword in hand to execute vengeance in Revelation 19.
So there is a dichotomy here. I’m a Christian and I’ve said it. He saves you from and can send you to hell! Let me apologize on behalf of any Christians who may have told you otherwise!
All Christians know or should know these facts. If Christians says otherwise that our loving God has a “love only” agenda for humanity that does include His “Holiness” and will just cater to your specific views on what a loving god should look like or meet all OUR own expectations of godliness, morality or ideas on how we think God and His world should be run or look like?
Then these Christians are doing a great disservice in properly promoting their beliefs.
If this look like a bad deal? Its because there is more to the story. But, I’ll admit. Its not an easy thing to follow Christ. For me the positives far out weigh the negatives.
But, That’s just me.
I made my choice, and I don’t have any doubt.
On a tangent, it’s always striking how the rules that are in the Bible exactly coincide with the then current thinking. Further, if I suggest that the rules for our modern society reflect the current consensus, that would be a big problem for some people. And by “some people”, I mean, well, you know… :-/
I advise you to read the whole chapter of Romans 8…Humans do not have free will that seeks God in fact it's the exact opposite..God Calls His elect to Him..humans can make choices within the flesh but have no will whatsoever in the Spirit. The Bible is very clear on that matter
I don't know why you are mebtioning Christians and deconstructing a chaotwr of the abibke that is clearly about the Covenant God made with Israel, this has nothing to do with Christians.. and "and you shall eat the fruit of your sons and daughters ".. meaning God will bless you so much if you keep his commandments and his laws that you will still eat from your childrens labor. You will not go hungry..
Yes, God sets out the blessings and curses.. He does love mankind deeply, and wants the best for you.. He will tell you what is the best (the blessings), but let's you choose for yourself.. It's up to you, and He will even defend your choice if you choose the worst (the curses).
The problem is that so much of mankind chooses what will bring curses, and then blames God because He doesn't bless them, regardless of their choice.. I suppose they learn that from their parents who spoil them no matter what they do wrong.. They think God should also be some kind of sugar daddy, letting them do what they want with no consequences.
Remember, God didn't choose to curse you.. He set the parameters.. You choose what would bring curses, so blame yourselves.
The Bible is full of the words of men. There’s also the inspired word of God. Jesus was trying to get people to see the difference. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. No everything in the Bible is not from God! God is not bad. You equate God with men. We all have some consequences to live in society, follow the rules or jail. Without rules you have anarchy and you seem to imply any rules imply threats to free will. You basically have done a Baptist preacher proud by contorting what you read in the Bible to promote your own views. You have every right to point out the fallacies but you jumped to conclusions that could be more attributable to religious beliefs of men than God. I wish you well and hope in time you can separate men from God. Peace and love to you and yours 🙏
