Devil Went Down to Edom | The Weird Bible Podcast: Episode 5

Isaiah is the most knowledgeable Christian I know. He’s inspired me to read the Bible and to learn about the history of the early church

You guys are quite literally doing God's work, please never ever stop.❤

I really struggled with my faith the first time I read the Moses story. No one could give me an answer. Thank you.

Ngl Aiden rambling about history is the absolute perfect background noise to do some deep thinking about other things 🤣

Listening to this again while I’m working and heard my name for my superchat and shat myself

This video helped restore some of my faith in Christ. I'm still thinking about if or when to fully return, but I left ever since my grandfather died, but to think it was "God calling him home"... I remember that I was told by the parents of a friend of mine that they were uncertain that he would go to Heaven because he was a Protestant instead of a Catholic, and that's what turned me away. I was upset at them, because I was thinking "How could God turn him away because of a few differences in worship?" I was also upset at God, for he took my grandfather away just when he was starting to seem like he was feeling better, but this helped me understand a little better. Like I said, I'm not sure if I will come back to the fold fully, but this video helped quite a bit.

2:32:26 questioning your faith kinda shows how strong it actually is. How could you know you are truly faithful if you never questioned it?

Just here to say I love the work yall do & to please the algorithm gods.

Job is the only thing that keeps my faith in God. It shows how I am not a perfect man In his eyes despite trying my best for earthy things. And when I curse him all I do is hurt myself further.

That one line from Aidan made me tear up🥲. I had never thought of it that way.

25:46 "and the LORD said unto satan 'aight. Bet.'..."

I love recommending this to people. I also love that you guys tackle science and religion. Makes me feel so less conflicted with my beliefs

I was told 7 was seen as the ideal number is sons back then, I think it's just a cherry on top of the blessings of Job's life and character. Ruth 4:15 "for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons..."

At 2:06:50 “are you good to go a bit longer?” Video ends at 3 hours and 50 minutes 😂

The book of Job is by far my favorite in the Bible so I don’t say this to handwave away all the great writings in it, but I do believe that it is not based on true events. That being said, people will still read great fiction like 1984, To Kill a Mocking Bird, etc and teach entire lectures on it, yet the second a single part of the Bible is a metaphor or not a true event it gets thrown out the window and laughed at. The messages that this story conveys are so deep and profound it is truly life changing. Some of the discourse between Job and his friends could be discussed in entire series of philosophical writings. To cap it all off, people often call Job’s wife and friends bad people, but they are supposed to represent how normal people would react in this situation. It is a layer of deep irony that when looking in a mirror we hate what we see. Such a wonderful and spiritual book and I’m excited to hear your guys’ thoughts!

This is literally the most underwatched content on YouTube

Isaiah has a similar attitude about Job that I have about Abraham's sacrifice of Issac. I was an atheist with a mild interest in theology and history before, but when I truly came to understand the depth of devotion and harrowing sorrow in which Abraham was in on the mountain, I became a believer. I doubt others would come to the understanding I did, yet it made the entire purpose of Christ's sacrifice so clear to me. If there is any path to salvation for the cynical atheist I used to be was to truly understand the meaning of sacrifice first and everything else erupts from that understanding.
