@Old Navy: We must also remember that when the Southern Kingdom was removed from the land, many people went without decent underwear.

@David_Jay:
Yes, we are basically saying the same thing - mainly the YouTuber’s argument has internal inconsistencies. As you say - it is self defeating.
Cheers!

Left out of the story: he arrived at the meeting wearing his best meeting shoes ... only.
And then he greeted someone in the parking lot.... with a “helicopter”...

Hola David_Jay,
Sure. But I don’t think it matters if you consider Jesus as YHWH or not. Even if you don’t be believe Jesus is YHWH, or even of you think the entire thing is a story myth. It doesn’t matter because you have to at least explain the internal contradiction if you are keen on this theory of OT YHWH = Satan.
Jesus, the good guy, identified himself with the OT YHWH. Whatever your beliefs on the nature of Jesus, it presents a bit of an issue for the theory, eh?
Seems to me if you want to say OT YHWH = Satan, then you at least put Jesus in Satan’s camp.

I am at work and have not watched all the videos. Browsing threads at lunch - but just a surface question:
Jesus at one point ( as a lost child ) said it should have been easy to find him because he would be in his “Father’s house” (Luke 2:49). In this context, it was the Jewish Temple... the house of the OT YHWH. How does this theory reconcile this statement? Is Jesus the son of God, or YHWH (since YHWH in this theory = Satan)

At the annual meeting right now . . .
by neat blue dog ini'm at the recorded meeting right now.
trying to hide my disgust sitting up front listening to geoffrey jackson quibble about the pharisaical minutai of sanctification vs. vindication.
the audience is thrilled that they now have 'permission' to say god's name can be vindicated.

@neat blue dog:
Stephen Lett just said that God gave Jesus "immorality" in the heavens. The audience laughed and he corrected himself. Seconds later he said "organism". Couldn't help thinking he dodged a bullet with that word too 😉
Back in the day when I attended meetings and went to the good ol in-home book study, it was held at an older brother’s house. This guy was one step away from senile, but out of respect, he was most often the reader. When we studied the creation book we learned, of course, that all “orgasms” were created, not evolved. We learned that God created all varieties of “orgasms”, and in the future we would live in peace with the animals and “orgasms”.
It was the hardest (no pun intended) thing to sit through. Everyone was embarrassed. Paragraph after paragraph. The conductor didn’t want to correct him or reassign the reading in the middle of the study - too awkward I guess. Kids that were just starting to read, but who were not so confident, started to say “orgasm” too.
Good lord.

Agreed that statistics can prove anything but however you slice and dice it the US has significantly more guns per head of population and more gun related homicides than any European country
For some example figures see here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rateDid you notice that if you remove suicides, you lose about 60% of the gun deaths (at least in the US)?
In the US you see private militia armed with semi-automatic weapons involved in situations that would typically be the domain of the police. I get these guys are acting legally but it's a very different culture to other places and fosters an attitude that anyone within reason is perfectly sound to bear such weapons.
These private militia are not nearly as common as you think. The vast majority of gun owners are not in a militia. They are just people, like the kind that got shot up the other day.
Knee jerk legislation will not work but if the will of the American people is to prevent these events from happening, minimise the risk and scale of attacks then there has to be dialogue. Perhaps there is legislation that could help. I would say there has to be a cultural change and that can only come from within the community of people that most cherish the right to bear arms, IMHO it is only when those who wish to have the right to own any quantity of whatever they like start to put the rights of the nation as a whole to be safer that a real cultural shift will happen.
Here is the crux of the matter. I have read the above about 10 times. I would really like to know what you mean by a "cultural change" specifically. From above it really sounds like those that "most cherish the right to bear arms" should start to put the "rights of the nation as a whole" first by changing their mind on cherishing guns. In other words, the cultural change you speak of is having everyone agree to give up owning weapons. Correct me if I am wrong.
Also, what does it mean for the "nation as a whole" to have rights? What is the right that a nation has in this case?
