| And detested Christianity, Judaism, Marx loathed. | |
| Marx, grandson of two rabbis, was actually an anti-Semite. | |
| There's a loathing of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian worldview for good reason, because they're antithetical. | |
| So I'm going to show you some verses that are inimical to the left. | |
| But, of course, your kids will not have studied them because Bible study has been dropped from American life for now almost, let's see, I would say almost 100 years. | |
| Maybe 80 years. | |
| It was the norm to teach your children Bible stories and the Bible and aphorisms from the Bible and now nothing. | |
| The average Harvard junior, or even rising junior, I like that, it's a new term. | |
| I've mastered it. | |
| Or rising senior, I should say, knows who Cain and Abel were. | |
| I've got to tell you something, if you don't know who Cain and Abel were, you don't know a damn thing about the Bible. | |
| That's pretty basic. | |
| I don't even know what they would know. | |
| They could name the four Gospels. | |
| There would be a blank on virtually anything. | |
| I wonder if they could name, identify Noah, because Noah's Ark is so famous. | |
| Be that as it may, I'm going to bring you some Bible quotes. | |
| That are antithetical to leftism. | |
| And so you will have a choice. | |
| You can follow the left or you can follow the Bible, but you can't do both. | |
| I know that there are some Jews and Christians who claim that they get their leftism from the Bible. | |
| My friends, people have made claims that are absurd throughout history. | |
| Okay, so I think the number one... | |
| The number one example of a biblical verse that is the antithesis of leftism is about the heart. | |
| Everything left is feelings-based. | |
| The Bible doesn't buy that. | |
| It completely mistrusts the heart. | |
| The left is based on the heart. | |
| The compassion is a beautiful trait. | |
| But everything is based on the heart. | |
| So here are two verses. | |
| Numbers 1539. Remember all the commands of the Lord that you may obey them. | |
| This is one of the few correct translations of the verse, the NIV version, New International Version. | |
| Remember all the commands of the Lord. | |
| That you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and I. Now, they added the lusts from the Hebrew. | |
| I know the Hebrew well, so that's one of the reasons I've written a Bible commentary. | |
| Which reminds me to remind you... | |
| That this is the magnum opus, the big work of my life, is the Bible commentary. | |
| The third of my five-volume commentary on the first five books will be coming out later this year. | |
| It is Deuteronomy, the fifth of the books. | |
| I'm not going in order. | |
| Genesis and Exodus are already out. | |
| It's called The Rational Bible. | |
| If you read the 2,500 reviews that are there, you will see how deeply it has touched people's lives. | |
| The rational Bible. | |
| So, Numbers 1539 is a rebuke of the idea that you should follow your heart. | |
| You prostitute yourself when you follow your heart. | |
| That's what the Hebrew actually says. | |
| That's correct. | |
| And Jeremiah 17, 9. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick. | |
| Who can understand it? | |
| That's pretty intense. | |
| The left is feelings-based. | |
| How you feel is what matters, and it is applied now to everything. | |
| It's not just morality, how I feel. | |
| I define good and evil. | |
| It's everything. | |
| I define my gender. | |
| If I feel male, I'm male. | |
| If I feel female, I'm female. | |
| This is part of the interesting and very powerful issue in American life today. | |
| So if you feel female and you're a male, You can now compete against females in track. | |
| You are what you feel. | |
| There is no objective sex. | |
| There is no objective answer to 2 plus 2. As I've reported to you, the Oregon Education Department has now announced that the idea that there is one right answer in math is white supremacy. | |
| Okay, it's a white supremacist notion. | |
| So even math answers are felt. | |
| Growing up and not trusting your heart is one of the greatest gifts that I was given to try to be a good man when I got older. | |
| And that's the purpose of life. | |
| Try to be a good man or a good woman as you get older. | |
| Alright, so that's example number one. | |
| Example number two of Bible verses that are the opposite of progressivism or the left. | |
| Leviticus 19.15 Do not pervert justice. | |
| Do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. | |
| Do not show partiality to the poor? | |
| Woo! | |
| That's a disqualifier from the world of the left. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's the whole point. | |
| That is social justice. | |
| Why don't they use the word justice on the left? | |
| Because justice and social justice have nothing to do with one another. | |
| Social justice is to justice what people's democracy is to democracy. | |
| It's the opposite. | |
| Social justice is the opposite of justice. | |
| People's democracy is the opposite of democracy. | |
| Otherwise, they'd say justice. | |
| So yes, you are supposed to change justice for the poor man, or now the black man, or the person of color. | |
| The opposite of the biblical admonition. | |
| You cannot change justice for the poor man. | |
| Poor man and rich man come into court. | |
| You do not favor the poor or the rich. | |
