Hosea Chapter 6: Bible Study by Atheists

[00:00:00] Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. For this is what the sovereign Lord says, Why do you need prophets

[00:00:05] to tell people who you are and what you want? If you can justify everything that the God of the Bible

[00:00:11] has done, then you can justify any of your behavior. A lot of this mentality is trickling into

[00:00:17] what is now mainstream right wing Christianity. I am capable of empathy greater than this God of the Bible.

[00:00:26] This is a Bible that they tell kids, this is the good Lord, this is the good book,

[00:00:32] this is he is fantasizing about murder, mass murder.

[00:00:38] And over to sacrilegiousdiscourse.com right now I got how to leave a circuit or some Buddhist on patreon.

[00:00:49] Wife! Do you know what we're doing and where the hell we are? Well, we're

[00:00:54] after a dig back into things here because it's been a little bit since we've done anything

[00:00:58] and we do want to apologize for that. We've been doing a lot of well-precovering,

[00:01:04] I guess, would be the best word. My arm is broken. Yeah, yeah. So it's caused a little bit of a

[00:01:11] strain on our podcast in schedule because it's hard for Wife to research with one hand.

[00:01:17] And also I'm working a lot more so there's a couple things that are working against this right now

[00:01:22] and also Wife has surgery coming up soon. I do, by the time you're here, this Monday morning,

[00:01:32] I will be having surgery tomorrow which is Tuesday to get metal put in your hand.

[00:01:39] And they're putting a metal plate in my hand. Right, that's fine.

[00:01:43] On my way to becoming the bionic woman. Yeah, so as far as where we are in the Bible,

[00:01:50] we're still in Joseah. We are Jose. Yeah, and we just got done reading, well, not just but we

[00:01:56] read last Jose chapter five. And in that chapter Jose, well, God is using Jose to basically call

[00:02:07] everybody out of their unfaithful bullshit of worshipping idols, I guess. Yeah, like as I recall,

[00:02:14] chapter five or four and five, I think, like stepped away from his personal. Yeah, he wasn't

[00:02:22] even as wife anymore as the main culprit. Yeah, he was just calling out Israel and Judah and saying,

[00:02:32] you back as this, you back as that. Yeah, he was calling out the leaders, the priests, and the people,

[00:02:38] everybody. Like we've already been here so many times. Right, and God just hates it when people worship

[00:02:42] anybody, but him and he's like, but if you do worship me, then I'll love ya and you know,

[00:02:46] everything's cool, but don't worship other things because otherwise I'll kill ya. Yeah, and then

[00:02:52] that's the general shittingness of God, right? I mean, like all through the Old Testament. So

[00:02:59] speaking of non-shittingness, so jumping away from the shittingness of God, we have a new

[00:03:06] patron. What? Yeah, so we wanted to do a shout out for Bethany R. Bethany? Yeah, and Bethany is our

[00:03:15] newest patron and they let me know that they were a daughter of a Baptist preacher. Oh my goodness,

[00:03:24] Bethany. Yeah, my, my sincerest sadness is to you. Well, I hope that that works, you know,

[00:03:35] I don't know the whole story about it, but I know sometimes that causes strains on families. So

[00:03:41] that could be a little rough sometimes. Yeah. But I was listening things giving God a be hard.

[00:03:47] And also, I don't know if it's pasture or preacher, like I never know what to say for which

[00:03:51] denomination, I always screw that out because I'd never was part of it, so I don't understand

[00:03:56] what which is which. But I think that I know that we had a Baptist preacher, we are landlord,

[00:04:02] pasture, be our landlord, we have a pasture. Right, so maybe as pasture. Yeah, I think that a lot

[00:04:09] of the Christian denominations are pasture could be, could be. I don't know for sure. I imagine

[00:04:15] preacher is like somebody in the south. You know what I mean? I know that they're a distinguished

[00:04:23] machine. I don't know who knows. I'm speaking out of my askin. And then Padre or Father is

[00:04:31] Catholic. Yeah, I was going to say that that sounds more Catholic. Yeah. That's where we'll go with that.

[00:04:36] But anyway, Bethany, thank you so much. Oh yeah, thank you, Bethany. Or becoming a patron,

[00:04:42] you really help us out more than you'll ever know. We are so grateful, Bethany. Thank you. Yeah.

[00:04:48] Yeah. And that being said, we like I said, we're getting we just finished Jose chapter five. Yes,

[00:04:56] we did. Which means that today we're getting into Jose chapter six. All right, let's do this. Okay,

[00:05:02] okay.

[00:05:08] All right, we are jumping into Jose chapter six. Or is I like to call him? Who's head?

[00:05:16] And I don't know if you were called because it's been so long. But chapter six actually began

[00:05:23] at the end of the previous chapter. Right. And that small little section was just like one verse at

[00:05:30] the end of chapter five. Yeah. That starts this next bit that we're going to read, which is subtitled

[00:05:37] the insincereity of Israel's repentance. Okay. So I'm going to start with that verse at the end

[00:05:45] of chapter five. Yeah, all right. All right. Then I will return to my layer until they have

[00:05:52] born their guilt and seek my face in their memory. They will earnestly seek me. That's great.

[00:05:59] I was like when he says layer it sounds an awful lot like a dragon. I think I said that the last time

[00:06:05] like who refers to their place with a dwell as a layer. Be a wolf.

[00:06:15] Okay, okay. Okay. Let me it would be more fun. Maybe if everybody called their house like a

[00:06:19] layer instead of a house. Yeah, I would like to return to my layer. You said say that would you leave

[00:06:26] work and you see what your coworkers are right. Right. And like another time referred to it as your

[00:06:35] dungeon. Right. Yeah. Who believe it? Yeah. Just see if they like react to any of those.

[00:06:43] Right. All right. So now we're starting chapter six. Okay. Yeah. All right. Come, let us return to the Lord.

[00:06:49] He has torn us to pieces. Oh, that's how I would say what people tear me to pieces. Let's return

[00:06:56] to that. That sounds exciting. Yeah, but he will heal us. Oh, okay. He has injured us, but he will

[00:07:01] bind up our wounds after two days. He will revive us on the third day. He will restore us.

[00:07:09] We'll get sound like. Sounds like Jesus doesn't it? Little bit that we may live in his presence.

[00:07:15] Let us acknowledge the Lord. Let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises,

[00:07:21] he will appear. Is the sun rises, huh? Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah. He will come to us like the winter

[00:07:28] rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with

[00:07:37] you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears.

[00:07:44] Ha. Ha. Ha. My due better disappear is a bad day when my due doesn't disappear.

[00:07:51] I'm not sure what you're getting at there exactly. I clogged the toilet once in my life.

[00:07:56] What? That went to the fence. That was not expecting I should do it doesn't disappear,

[00:08:02] then you're in trouble. Yeah. Yeah, I just I wasn't my mind wasn't there. So I mean,

[00:08:13] like I thought that happened to everybody at least once. Sure. All right. So anyway, do disappears.

[00:08:22] Okay. And that's a good thing. Yeah. Therefore, I cut you in pieces with my profits. I killed

[00:08:29] you with the words of my mouth. Then my judgments go forth like the sun for I desire mercy,

[00:08:37] not sacrifice and acknowledgement of God, rather than burn offerings. As at Adam, they have

[00:08:45] broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me even there. Gilead is a city of evil doers,

[00:08:51] stained with the footprints of blood. As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,

[00:08:58] so do bands of priests. They murder on the road to Sheshirem carrying out their wicked schemes.

[00:09:06] I have seen a horrible thing in Israel. Their ephem is given to prostitution. Israel is the

[00:09:14] file, also for you, Judah, a harvest is appointed. Whenever I would restore the fortunes of my people,

[00:09:22] comma, and then we cut off meds and it's, wow. Yeah. Okay. I mean, to read the rest of the sentence.

[00:09:30] Yeah, I guess so because that's a weird way to cut off. So technically, we're going to go into

[00:09:34] seven a little bit, but we're going to cover it again. Probably when we get into the world.

[00:09:38] Yeah, we will. We will. Okay. Also for you, Judah, a harvest is appointed. Whenever I would restore

[00:09:44] the fortunes of my people and here we go into the next chapter. Whenever I would heal Israel,

[00:09:51] the sins of Ephraim are exposed and the crimes of Samaria revealed. Okay. And I won't go any further

[00:09:58] into this chapter. Okay. All right. So yeah, he's basically saying that they can love him,

[00:10:10] but they aren't and they're their loved disappears. And then he's like, and I'm going to

[00:10:15] fuck you up. Some more, some more. Like, you know, we are always, he got's always fucking them up.

[00:10:20] Yeah. That's the gist of this, right? I think it's kind of hard to read, but he was going back

[00:10:28] to fan even as far back as Adam. My people been fucking up. Right, which we come in all the time,

[00:10:34] because like you are not a very good God that can't get your people in line and more than that,

[00:10:39] like if you have this ability to see what's coming down the pipe, right? Why are you surprised?

[00:10:44] Right. Why are you surprised? It doesn't make any sense. Why are you mad? Why do you,

[00:10:48] why are you even give a fuck if it's all meant to be? If it's all predestined,

[00:10:53] it doesn't fucking matter. None of it matters unless you made it to where you predestined yourself

[00:10:59] to be pissy and kill people. Like that's weird, man. That is a weird way to handle your

[00:11:07] your creation. Yeah. It is. I don't care for it. Right. And, you know, I don't care.

[00:11:16] This is a group of people that are just like, they want their God to be the best God. And they

[00:11:21] see these other people that are not as perfect at worshiping their God as them. And they're like,

[00:11:25] dudes, you guys are going to get fucked up if you don't worship this God correctly. Yeah.

[00:11:30] That's all this is. Yeah. Sorry. I don't know where I'm going with this. There's just the same

[00:11:34] fucking thing every goddamn chapter. It really is. So I'm just tired of God being like,

[00:11:38] oh my people, right? Right. And then the people going, so the entire y'all weigh in my right?

[00:11:44] Yeah. It's very tiring. I'm like, just break up or get together. Whatever.

[00:11:50] Nobody cares about your team drama. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. So that was a pretty short chapter.

[00:11:57] It really was. But that was Joseia chapter six. It sure is buckwise. Which means that and we're

[00:12:03] going to definitely try to actually do this. We're going to be back tomorrow with.

[00:12:07] Who's head chapter seven. All right. We'll see you then. Bye.
