[00:01:15] Welcome to sacrilegious discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife together

[00:01:19] We're reading the Bible for the very first time we grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was about

[00:01:25] Well, what have we learned so far that God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking donkeys

[00:01:32] We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts

[00:01:34] Nope

[00:01:48] I

[00:01:50] Spend wife do you remember what happened on Friday and where the hell we are today?

[00:01:56] I think God made Ezekiel shave his head

[00:02:00] Mm-hmm, and then with a sword with it. Well, yeah, that's right with a sword. Mm-hmm

[00:02:05] Jesus that must have had to suck. Yeah, I mean I'm just saying right but

[00:02:09] Then when he divided his hair then they sprinkled the hair in different places on the little clay model

[00:02:15] Of Jerusalem little dollhouse little dollhouse. Yeah, and then they burnt some of them up and

[00:02:22] Set some of it was a symbolism. It was symbolizing like what was gonna happen to the

[00:02:28] Israel lights, you know, and then he was allowed to take like two or three little hairs and sew into his shirt or whatever

[00:02:34] Yeah, yeah sure to display that it's the remnant right. Yeah

[00:02:39] Anyway, we were playing with hair in the last chapter. So that was Ezekiel chapter five

[00:05:58] Losing any more body parts today

[00:06:01] Or is it just hair that we're losing? I don't think we're losing any parts or hair. Okay from what I saw

[00:06:06] God's just given them what for got it. So I think that's what we're in store for all right. Hey sounds normal, right?

[00:06:15] The word of the Lord came to me. Hmm. Okay. Me is Eekio. Yeah. Hey, yeah quote

[00:06:20] So now he's telling us what God said sure son of man, you know, you know, you're a person

[00:06:27] Yeah, yeah, set your face against the mountains of Israel. So look that direction. Okay

[00:06:34] Prophecy against them and say you mountains of Israel hear the word of the sovereign Lord

[00:06:40] This is what the sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills to the ravines and valleys

[00:06:46] I'm about to bring a sword against you and I will destroy your high places

[00:06:51] I was about to ask actually guy it feel like when they're referring to obviously they kind of alluded to it there

[00:06:58] But like when they mentioned the mountains and the hills and the ravines

[00:07:01] These are places where they kind of alluded to throughout the Bible. Mm-hmm that bad shit was happening

[00:07:07] Like they've got the their pagan worship. Yeah

[00:07:11] alters to other gods and their idle statues and their

[00:07:17] Child sacrifice and their sex practices and all that yeah

[00:07:21] Yeah, I mean in order to not be bad apparently you just have to stay in Jerusalem all the time

[00:07:25] And don't go into any ravines or mountains or hills right?

[00:07:30] If it's flat ground you might be okay, but be really careful. It doesn't get anything but flat or

[00:07:36] Or

[00:07:37] Be an atheist and go wherever the fuck you want not worry about it. I

[00:07:42] Mean there's that too. Yeah, sure. Okay. So God is still talking

[00:07:46] Yeah, your alters will be demolished. Hmm and your incense alters will be smashed

[00:07:52] Hey, when people just demolish my incense holders me too dumb. Why did they do that shit? No, yeah

[00:07:59] You know what's funny? You don't like the smell of incense. I don't I fucking hate it

[00:08:03] I know and that makes me so sad because I fucking love it

[00:08:07] Yeah, but you know, it's funny like okay, so incense holders to me

[00:08:12] Growing up right when I was younger they seemed very new age and very

[00:08:17] Who we yeah, but like there was this connotation

[00:08:21] With them that kind of seemed almost like anti religious

[00:08:25] And I never really kind of it was it was a counterculture thing to have

[00:08:29] Incense when I was younger it felt like hmm it felt that way like it was very the drug culture had

[00:08:35] Like I always thought of it as trying to disguise the scent of

[00:08:40] Weed yeah, yeah, yeah, so I mean I just wonder if that's partly

[00:08:47] Where that idea is in your head well no, I wonder if I'm one of there was actually I don't know this because I don't know

[00:08:56] How people felt about it back then exactly

[00:08:58] But I wonder if there was a bad connotation with with regard to incense. Oh, I'm sure somewhat because of religious reasons

[00:09:05] I'm sure I don't know that for sure. I'm just curious like that's a curiosity that I would have it sounds like there would be

[00:09:12] Right sounds like there could be mm-hmm. Yeah

[00:09:14] So he's saying I must mash your shit and I'm gonna demolish your other shit

[00:09:19] Yeah, and I will slay your people in front of your idols. Oh

[00:09:23] Okay, your little statues there. They're gonna watch me kill you I

[00:09:28] Will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols

[00:09:33] And I will scatter your bones around your altars Wow

[00:09:37] That's not very Christian

[00:09:41] Fairies not Christian yet. No, but it's not very nice. Yeah, I'm not supposed to murder people

[00:09:46] You would think but I mean it's in the time gathering that this is just a normal like everyday occurrence here in the Bible

[00:09:53] Well to be fair to this already happened like right we already read about

[00:09:57] Like this is before the the final fall of Jerusalem sure like sure we already know but I mean even if you take out

[00:10:05] The idea of the fall of Jerusalem like this is a thing that has happened to the Israelites

[00:10:11] And in their enemies over and over and over again like it just God kills people like all the fucking time

[00:10:16] I think we talk about this like every single episode now. Hey, there go God on a murder spree again

[00:10:22] Totally yeah wherever you live the towns will be laid. I thought he was gonna like go into I will find you

[00:10:31] Wherever you live the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished

[00:10:37] So that your altars will be laid waste and devastated

[00:10:41] Your idols smashed and ruined your incense altars broken down and now I'm just repeating myself

[00:10:48] Yeah, yeah, and what you have made wiped out

[00:10:51] Okay, that's new yeah wiped out sure. I mean in this chapter right right he used the word smashed and

[00:11:00] Demolished too many times he really did and he was like I'm gonna

[00:11:04] Fuck up your incense and then I'm gonna fuck up your incense. Guess what?

[00:11:08] I'm fucking up your incense, but I do have to mention this too

[00:11:12] But like okay so for chapter one and two mm-hmm

[00:11:15] There was definitely a different tone with those chapters than there is in these and I know we talked a little bit in our Q&A about

[00:11:21] The time frame in which these were written mm-hmm. These feel much more in line with like

[00:11:27] What was written during Jeremiah's time mm-hmm ish?

[00:11:31] Here's a difference to

[00:11:33] The first two chapters were first person like Jeremiah was saying I saw this and I saw that and this happened to me

[00:11:40] And what yeah, and in these chapters he's like here's some quoting God. It's not I'm not even in this chapter

[00:11:47] I'm just telling you what I said right yeah, that's your first person versus third person as a thing. Yeah, yeah

[00:11:54] Okay, so God is still talking okay your people will fall slain among you and you will know that I am the Lord

[00:12:01] Mm-hmm, and this is the first time that we hear him say that I am the Lord

[00:12:06] You will know that I am the Lord right but he's gonna say it a whole fuck ton more like I don't know what chapter

[00:12:12] It's in but one of my favorite

[00:12:15] Movies Pulp Fiction there's a part in there where oh it's been too long since I've seen it

[00:12:21] But they quote I think it's from Ezekiel and then he's like that and he's like getting ready to shoot somebody

[00:12:26] He's like and you will know my name is the Lord and that's part of the damn

[00:12:31] Yeah, and that's part of the quote so I gotta look that up find out what chapter that's in yeah

[00:12:35] So and include that include yeah, I'll have to mention that yeah, yeah

[00:12:39] Okay, so God is still talking but guess what what what does God always say but?

[00:12:45] Smiley face guess what I'm gonna do you're gonna redeem people yeah, I'm gonna spare song

[00:12:52] For some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations because you know I'm gonna scatter you

[00:12:58] Yeah, I'm gonna fuck your shit up

[00:13:00] And he can't even kill all their enemies when he says he's going to so I mean what makes us think that he would be

[00:13:05] able to kill all the Israelites right yeah then

[00:13:08] In the nations where they have been carried captive those who escape will remember me

[00:13:14] I'm the best sadly they did

[00:13:17] How I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts those cheating cheaters. I'm a I'm an

[00:13:25] Cuck you know I was cuckolded

[00:13:28] I married this bitch called Israel and then they fucked every man in town and and

[00:13:34] They they had all the idols and they did all the phallic symbol II yeah statues and shit

[00:13:41] And I'm just I'm broken-hearted. Yeah, I'm just a murdery son of a gun

[00:13:45] What we should totally feel bad for poor never mind. I'm not even gonna finish that sentence

[00:13:50] No, cuz he's a dick God is sad you know if if I married a dickhead

[00:13:55] You know then I'd probably cheat on him too. Oh, are you saying I'm not a dickhead? No, you're not a dickhead

[00:14:00] Oh, thanks. You're not a dickhead either. Thanks. Yay. We're awesome right okay, so anyway, he's like

[00:14:07] I've been grieved by their adulterous hearts which have been turned away from me and by their eyes which have

[00:14:14] Lusted after their idols

[00:14:17] Where I'm gone, and I'm so sad

[00:14:21] They will love themselves for the evil they have done and for all the detestable practices

[00:14:27] This is like a mom yelling like a shitty mom yelling after her kid. You'll be sorry

[00:14:32] Right

[00:14:34] You know what the only reason they're gonna be sorry is because God's killing them right?

[00:14:37] I'm just saying like you're not actually sorry

[00:14:40] You're sorry that you're good like it's like any other punishment, right? You're sorry. You got caught

[00:14:45] It's the song by Beyonce don't tell me you're sorry when you're not right

[00:14:51] You're only sorry you got caught. I don't know the words sure, you know sure yeah that one

[00:14:57] Yeah, and they will know that I am the Lord well

[00:15:01] That's what they gonna know I guess they will I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them

[00:15:05] I promised them I was gonna fuck their shit up and then I did yeah cuz I'm awesome right and

[00:15:11] That's how you can love me because you know I followed through on my promises to fuck your shit up. Yeah

[00:15:18] This is what the sovereign Lord says

[00:15:21] Okay, yeah, all right strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry a lass

[00:15:28] Is this like a line dance or something? Yeah, okay. Yeah, we're all gonna do the Makarina

[00:15:35] Because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel for they will fall by the sword feminine plague

[00:15:42] Okay, that sounds opposite of dancing right, but he wants them to strike their hands together and stamp their feet and cry a lass

[00:15:50] Okay, all right. Yeah one who is far away will die of the plague and one who is near will file fall by the sword and

[00:15:59] Anyone who survives and is spared will die of famine. Okay fuck all y'all. Yeah, I

[00:16:06] So I blah blah blah I can't read because I have dyslexia for real

[00:16:11] So will I pour out my wrath on them? See God got the wrath. Yeah, that sounds like he needs medicine

[00:16:18] I mean he has a real wrath on his ass to have a temper problem. That's for sure and

[00:16:22] They will know that I am the Lord when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars

[00:16:29] I can tell you right now. I'm going to get sick of hearing

[00:16:32] I am the Lord and they will know that I am and they will know that I'm Lord. Yeah, we know dick

[00:16:38] We know who because it's part of the quote that I like yeah

[00:16:41] Well, I mean not that I like that quote

[00:16:43] I like that part in the movie. Yeah, and that's the quote and that's part of that quote and I'm like

[00:16:47] Oh, so we're gonna hear this all through as a deal and it's gonna ruin

[00:16:51] Pulp fiction for you might Emily at least that quote. Yeah, I can't with that movie quite honestly. No, yeah

[00:16:56] It's too much. It's been a long time since I've actually watched it, but it's too far. It's too many

[00:17:03] I mean, that's kind of what um Quentin Tarantino is renowned for yeah, right? Yeah

[00:17:08] All right

[00:17:08] So anyway, he's like when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars on every high hill and on all the mountain tops under every

[00:17:17] spreading tree and

[00:17:19] Every leafy oak

[00:17:21] Yeah places where they offered fragrant incest instance to all their idols. Yeah those fuckers

[00:17:29] Kill those sons of bitches

[00:17:31] Yeah, and I will stretch out my hand against them

[00:17:34] I make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Dibla wherever they live because they burned incense

[00:17:41] Then they'll know that I'm the Lord. Yeah the end. Okay. Um, I do have a slight note

[00:17:45] It's irrelevant. Sure who really cares. Okay. The word Dibla is used here. Yeah, and it's like where's that?

[00:17:52] Right

[00:17:54] Who cares anyway? Well, I mean, you know the actual Hebrew text does read

[00:18:01] Dibla, but it's suspected that somebody transpose some letters that look similar and that it should say ribla, okay, which is

[00:18:09] city in

[00:18:12] Oh, I forget where somewhere somewhere. Oh Syria. Sorry. I couldn't find my notes

[00:18:17] So I was trying to like tell you this from yeah memory. That's no because I have none. I forgot

[00:18:22] I don't have any of those things that yeah. Anyway, it's a city in Syria. Okay, and

[00:18:29] It makes sense geographically because then it's like he's saying from north to south

[00:18:34] Remember how they would take like the farthest city each direction and use that as a like from the furthest

[00:18:40] North to the furthest South right, right. So pretty sure it's ribla not Dibla. Got it

[00:18:46] Like I said, that's really kind of funny actually like there's literally a misspelling in the Bible that has just like

[00:18:52] Gone forward. They're just like yeah, whatever. That's what it actually that's what it said when we got it

[00:18:57] So we're gonna put it up again. Mm-hmm. And even though we're pretty sure it's wrong. Yeah, but we don't know for sure

[00:19:03] And God is perfect. So

[00:19:05] You know, maybe he meant to say Dibla. We don't know. Yeah, maybe there was a place called Dibla. Sure

[00:19:10] Yeah, we don't know. Okay. I mean that was a few thousand years sounds pretty fucking unlikely to me

[00:19:16] But whatever I couldn't even tell you maybe seriously. Maybe there was a city named Dibla. Sure. All right

[00:19:22] But apparently the letters that make those sounds or whatever are very similar and have been transposed

[00:19:29] Often throughout the Bible, right? So I mean we found other not we found but I've pointed out other

[00:19:37] Errors before where word was repeated because it

[00:19:42] Was at the end of the scroll or end of the line and so then they would

[00:19:46] Started again at the next line. Yeah, so yep, whatever. There's there's errors

[00:19:52] Fucking errors in the air because God did not write this and

[00:19:58] We aren't perfect and God's not perfect cuz he doesn't exist right right

[00:20:06] So I think is that all we got for today. That's all I got for today

[00:20:09] Well just on the out here

[00:20:11] I'm just gonna remind everybody one more time that tonight is our live one of our live episodes that we're doing Mondays and Wednesdays
