Are there any examples of outdated values in the Bible?

This explains why the supreme god El says, “Let us make mankind in our own image.” Also why the narrator of Genesis followed up by saying in the unredacted version:

they trembled because he was angry.

Later, when the Levite scribes became monotheists, they redacted the other gods, but the grammar tells us what the text originally said.

What type of crossdresser are you?

There are many outdated “values” in the Bible. After giving a few good (or very bad) examples, I will explain how such terrible “values” came to be enshrined in the Bible.

Can you explain the difference between being a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat? Can you provide some examples of their ideologies?

The earth trembled and quaked,

He parted the heavens and came down;

Chemosh was the tribal god of the Moabites.

Is it true that most women like alpha males?

The verses above sound suspiciously like Yahweh’s rival Marduk splitting a sea-dragon into pieces and crushing its skull with a mace in the ancient Babylonian text Enuma Elish.

one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.

El was the father-god of Mesopotamian mythology, and the supreme god. We see El throughout the Bible and as a suffix to names like Israel, Ishmael, Michael and Gabriel. The Elohim were the 70 sons and daughters, plus his consort Asherah, a family of gods.

Why do many women wear sleeveless shirts, more so than men?

In reality every preacher knows that there is an obvious moral incompatibility between the God whom Jesus calls “Father” and the character of “God,” “The Lord,” or “YHWH / Yahweh” in the Hebrew Scriptures, known to Christianity as the Old Testament. The pointy question which then arises is “What does the preacher do with that incompatibility?”

How can Christians defend such incredible evil? If they have no knowledge of good and evil, their “god” must have gypped them and they should still be immortal, living in paradise!

Why can't we send flat Earthers to space and show them the shape of Earth?

How did such satanic commandments end up in the Bible, and where did they originate?

So the gods created mankind in their own image,

Genocide, including the mass-murder of children, toddlers, infants, babies and unborns in their pregnant mothers’ wombs.

Are there any penalties for bestiality in the USA and laws prohibiting it?

“And the nose of Yahweh burned toward Israel…” (Judges 2:13-15)

Such verses tell us something very important. It makes no sense for an all-powerful Creator to battle one of his creatures. That would be like an elephant going to war with an ant! But the ancient storm gods Yahweh and Marduk were not all-powerful. Rather, they were heroic warriors who sometimes won and sometimes lost battles. In the verses above we see Yahweh as such a warrior god, who is being celebrated for winning a battle with a nonexistent monster.

Dragons inhabit palaces and fortresses. (Isaiah 34:13)

What are some reasons why people may fear strong men?

How did such horrendous “values” end up in the Bible? Is this the “wisdom” of a loving, wise, just “god” or the wild ravings of primitive witchdoctors pretending to speak for “god”?

As Paul Wallis, who served for 33 years as a pastor, trainer of pastors, church doctor, theological educator, and expert on Bible translation and hermeneutics, has noted:

Satan is a dragon. (Revelation 20:2)

Where's the Civil War everyone on the left said would happen?

Ironically, Yahweh sounds like a winged fire-breathing dragon himself! A regular Smaug with wings and a long burning snout breathing fire and surrounded by smoke! And he did have a taste for gold, for serpent rods, for six-winged seraphim, for virgins, and for bloody sacrifices.

Would you in your Christian wisdom join the primitive throngs splitting rape victims’ skulls open until the poor girls’ brains leaked out? If you believe abortion is a sin, how can you explain verses that command the mass murder of women who had had sex, which would include pregnant women? How can you explain only the virgin girls being kept alive, obviously as sex slaves? And the Bible contains more satanic commandments about “men of god” keeping their sex slaves for life, and passing them down as an “inheritance” to their children.

Were biblical commandments to stone rape victims to death “given by the ‘inspiration’ of God”?

What are some things that normal people do that religious people call sins?

burning coals blazed out of it.

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. (Psalm 91:3-4)

If Christians have the knowledge of good and evil, they know such satanic biblical commandments are monstrously evil, so why do they defend evil as being good, when their “god” commands evil?

Dragons existed from the beginning. “So God created the great sea creatures [Hebrew tannin, meaning dragon or sea monster]…” (Genesis 1:21)

Christians frequently quote the Bible verse that says: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

“By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.” (Job 26:12)

Then finally was written off as a god when the Israelites converted to monotheism.

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

“People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” (Psalm 36:8)

What most Christian preachers do is lie, evade and obfuscate the obvious truth: that the Bible was authored by primitive, barbaric men who mass-murdered women, children, infants and babies; sold their daughters as sex slaves; and stoned rape victims to death.

“Now leave me alone so that my nostrils may burn against them and that I may destroy them.” (Exodus 32:10)

Infanticide

Was the original version of Yahweh a Mesopotamian storm god who took the form of a winged, fire-breathing dragon with a very short fuse?

When God revealed himself to Moses, he said that he was אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם (erech apaim), which means having a long nose or snout, like a dragon! (Exodus 34:6-7).

The early church father Origen did not believe the Bible’s horrific stories about a murderous “god” because that would require Christians to believe of their deity “such things as we would not believe of the most savage and unjust of men.”

“You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters. You crushed the heads of Leviathan…” (Psalm 74:13–17)

“You crushed Rahab like a carcass…” (Psalm 89:10)

THE IMMORAL BIBLE AND ITS SATANIC COMMANDMENTS

and his tongue is a consuming fire.

Thus there is no reason for anyone to believe anything the Bible says that goes against common sense, reason and decency. The Bible is mostly an indecent book, with a few bright spots here and there.

If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

When Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, it was his nose that was burning!

Ethnic cleansing

In any case, it is monstrously evil to stone anyone to death for any reason, much less a child: to break a young girl’s skull open and watch her brains leak out, while forcing her parents not only to watch, but to participate.

And many others…

THE ORIGINS OF THE BIBLE’S SATANIC COMMANDMENTS

“I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” (Psalm 57:2)

Take, for instance, the satanic commandment found in Deuteronomy 22:23-24:

The Elohim included gods and goddess like:

Later ran off with the more successful and popular Baal, causing Yahweh to go berserk.

consuming fire came from his mouth,

“For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,

Yahweh had wings and feathers, like a feathered reptilian dragon:

dark clouds were under his feet.

Quoting a verse from a book full of satanic commandments to murder women, children, infants, babies and unborns proves absolutely nothing.

burning coals blazed out of it.”

with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke;

his lips are full of wrath,

Slavery

(Isaiah 30:27–28)

There are other mentions of dragons in the Bible:

Sex slavery, even fathers selling their own daughters as sex slaves!

But that verse is obviously wrong. Wildy wrong.

“Hide me in the shadow of your wings.” (Psalm 17:8)

His breath is like a rushing torrent,

(2 Samuel 22:9)

Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. (Numbers 11:1)

What did Jesus think of the baby-killing god of the Old Testament?

Then became the consort of Yahweh when he replaced El as the supreme god of the Israelites.

Homophobia

The proper understanding of Elohim in the Bible is a plural noun meaning “gods” or “powerful ones.”

Of course this is what Jehovah did to the Israelites in the wilderness, according to the Old Testament. When mothers and children understandably begged for something to eat and drink, the diabolical Yahweh sent fiery serpents (dragons) to kill them. Despite his own injunction for no one to make graven images, Yahweh had Moses make a graven image of a serpent (dragon) that the Israelites had to acknowledge (probably bow down to in the original version) in order to live.

Asherah, at one time the consort of Yahweh, until she ran of with his arch-rival Baal, resulting in a very messy divorce. Asherah was highly regarded, widely worshipped, and was known as the Queen of Heaven. Her role in the development of the Bible is key, because she:

The ghastly stoning to death of children for non-sins like girls being raped (Deuteronomy 22:23-24) and child brides not proving their virginity by bleeding sufficiently on their wedding nights (the same satanic chapter of Deuteronomy). The real Creator would have known that all girls don’t bleed the first time they have sex, so this satanic commandment clearly had human origins. No decent deity would have commanded such evil!

in the images of the gods they created them;

If you believe Jesus is God and that God authored the Bible, will you blaspheme the name of Jesus by accusing him of authoring these satanic commandments? What will happen when the sheep are separated from the goats and you have to stand before Jesus and explain why you accused him of commanding such incredible evils: slavery, sex slavery, the ghastly stoning to death of children, infanticide, matricide, ethnic cleansing and genocide? These are the worst crimes known to “man unkind,” to borrow a phrase from E. E. Cummings.

Please keep in mind that in Old Testament days most brides were either preteens or in their early teens. Thus a virgin pledged to be married, but not yet married, would have been very young, sometimes as young as 11 or 12 years old.

When rape victims are stoned to death in Muslim countries, Christians call Islam a “false religion” and yet the Bible commands such ghastly stonings, even of children. When the Bible commands believers to stone a girl to death “because she did not scream for help” it is clearly describing the girl being raped. This satanic passage assumes the girl was “guilty” because she didn’t cry out, taking no thought for the rapist having a hand over her mouth, or a knife to her throat, or that she was so paralyzed by fear that she couldn’t muster a cry.

Can a true religion be based on lies?

Baal was a storm god like Yahweh and his main rival. He was known as Marduk to the Babylonians.

Racism

Smoke rose from his nostrils;

What if the girls and women being raped as sex slaves by “men of god” waving Bibles were your mothers, your sisters, your daughters?

Jesus asked: “What Father, if his children asked for bread, would give them a stone? What Father, if his children asked for fish, would give them a snake?”

“Smoke rose from his nostrils;

When will Christians stop blaspheming the name of Jesus by accusing him of authoring such satanic commandments? The Bible was clearly written by primitive men, some of them worse than Hitler.

The Bible clearly originated with the human-created myths of the Mesopotamian gods. The Levite priests who controlled the texts that became the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) redacted the texts over time, first booting El in favor of Yahweh and making Asherah his consort, then railing against Asherah for running off with Baal, and finally writing off the other gods altogether. But the Levites were incompetent editors and left all sorts of clues as to the real “genesis” of the Bible in the far more ancient Mesopotamian myths.

“See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar,

Intolerance

Yes, dragons are a real thing according to the Bible, along with unicorns, four-legged insects and talking asses!

The arrival of Yahweh sounds very much like a powerful dragon accompanied by blazing fire and smoke…

Sexism

Biblical “values” include:

In multiple verses the Bible describes a Leviathan — a multi-headed, fire-breathing sea monster with impenetrable scales. Notice that in the first verse below the Leviathan has multiple heads.

Yahweh cut Rahab (a multi-headed sea-dragon) to pieces and “pierced” the dragon. (Isaiah 51:9-10)

What if the girls and women being stoned to death by “men of god” waving Bibles were your mothers, your sisters, your daughters?

(Deuteronomy 32:22)

Matricide

To understand the Bible’s origins, we must go back the root words El and Elohim. Then everything becomes clear.

rising up to the neck.”

Were commandments to mass-murder children, infants, babies and pregnant women “instruction in righteousness”? (Numbers 31:17-18)

Yahweh took 32 virgin girls as “the Lord’s share” of the spoils of war. (Numbers 31:40). What were the virgin girls taken for? As sex slaves, of the Levite priests.
