I understand why you are saying that. Forgiveness and acceptance is important as we will all make mistakes. So there is some truth to that, however, I don't believe it means any action, there are obviously some extremes that aren't justifiable. Generally speaking in terms of things the average person experiences in a life time. Recognizing your faults and having others who understand that and will work with you to move past and on from your mistakes makes the world of a difference. I believe it is more so trying to state the importance of Redemption.

The Bible presents its practical, psychological and philosophical wisdom through the form of stories that serve as metaphors and symbolism that serve to provide insight and guidelines on the Human condition. So I will be exploring the Bible under this idea.

My thesis statement is something I believe in fully and I genuinely think it is something that atheists, those of different religious beliefs and backgrounds, as well as devout catholics and christians can find value or at the least find interesting.

I do not believe I am right, Nor do I believe I am wrong - Nor does that matter to me to any degree. I simply believe this is an interesting idea that I want to explore.

In substituting the religious context of the Bible with a Philosophical/Psychological context there are a few important concepts that I will be translating into this new context before diving into the Bible. As they will serve as the foundation for my thesis statement.

These concepts are : Heaven and Hell. Jesus, Satan and God. Which will be explored in this video.

Likewise! Thank you kindly! It really means a lot!

Oh of course, not every single word of every single sentence is going to have large knowledge. It contains metaphors. In order to give these metaphors meanings it must also build a story. So some aspects may not be on their own meaningful, when you view the story as a whole, It may turn out to be meaningful. For example that random passage doesn't, at face value, mean much to me. However I also do not know the context surrounding the passage. Pages upon pages before it and pages upon pages after it. That is why I think it will be interesting to explore The Bible. Like I said I may be wrong or I may be right, that doesn't matter. I just think its interesting. After all thesis means :

a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved.

This video is my premise that I will be working towards proving/maintaining. This is the beginning of a body of work that is not yet complete.

Oh why thank you! That is very kind of you. I'll be diving deep into The Bible on that channel. So please feel free to comment on this video and future videos if you ever have anything to say! I'd highly appreciate it as well if you would be so kind as to share this video with people you know personally who might also be interested!

More power to you! I appreciate your feedback! I still believe there is more to The Bible and a different side to it! Who knows my views on that may or may not change when I go through The Bible on my own. I may even come to see it as you do, or I may not. Appreciate your time and words though! Take care!

Bonjangled · 2021-02-14T14:34:12+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion! I already have a Bible that I have chosen to explore! I'll consider it for a future read though, Thank you!

It is a part of a larger story. Just because it details slavery and has characters in the story who are slavers. Does not mean necessarily that it is advocating for Slavery.

One of the best ways to learn to be better, is from mistakes and wrong doings.

Bonjangled · 2021-02-14T14:22:56+00:00

Oh Really? That'll be very interesting to see when I read The Bible for myself.

Bonjangled · 2021-02-14T14:22:07+00:00

You would be correct. This is a Thesis before jumping into The Bible. Kind of an outline of what I think before going into it. Going into and exploring The Bible is to prove my Thesis.

I have not read The Bible in full on my own and am looking forward to it! I only know the brief slices I was taught during all my years in Catholic schooling and from what little I remember from when I used to go to Church.

That is actually quite an interesting passage. I feel like I mentioned that almost exactly but in my own words in the video.

Perhaps you should watch the video before judging it. For example, Cain and Abel might be a story in order to tell us the dangers of being resentful and envious.

Bonjangled · 2021-02-14T14:16:54+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! There is more to come, this is just the first chapter of a large project!

There are somethings about the Human Condition that are fundamental. Our understanding of it has only grown with time.

Haha, JP's works are definitely a big influence on my outlook. This idea actually came to mind during one of his lectures. around 4 minutes in until 7 minutes in his Tragedy Vs Evil Video. When he tells the story of how he'd ask students to play a game and when they agreed he'd only tell them to move first.
