You wrote this to introduce your thread:

After much debate over matters of faith and secularism, some friends and I have come to the conclusion that it might be best to start a thread as a place to discuss biblical ideas so as to learn about Judeo-Christian doctrine, and reduce off-topic debates on scripture and reduce the amount of learning that needs to be done during controversial debates when it comes to things of the bible.

 

You started a thread as a place to discuss biblican ideas as to learn about Judeo-Christian doctrine.  In response to this, I posted a number of videos connected to this, with the most recent having to do with the Christian doctrine involving how to understand the Bible and its role (sola-scriptura).  All this connects to your original point.  Now, if you want to have a thread on whether or not the Bible requires rapists to marry women they rape, that is a much more specific issue, and maybe you should change your subject to that.  But, as it is now, you wanted to discuss Judeo-Christian doctrine, so I was sharing a number of things related to that, and scripture itself.  I posted some music by a Jewish musician also, which has ties to the Old Testament.  Anyhow, pardon me for not thinking the next sum of Judeo-Christian doctrine involved whether or not rapist must marry women they rape, and also if I am not following your agenda and list of topics.  I didn't think it was about that, and actually find that topic fairly simplistic, pretty boring and does little to enlighten, and doesn't account for cultural context either.

The topic is about biblican passages and explaining them within their contexts if that sheds clues.  If you want to post 1 video with some obsuce tie-in to OP be my guest.

But quinty-posting some fucking random video with possible tie-ins to the bible, if you don't mind, consider the absolute zero value to the thread, take your videos and go.

Now if there's something you think will contribute to the thread in a direct manner, post the vid, and clearly and explicitely say so in your post, otherwise I'll consider videos of a teenage highschooler clamoring "Jesus, man!" to be disrespectful and unresourceful.

Thanks

I will give you chapter 6 from Chesterton's book "Orthodoxy".  I could also give you some other Christian apologetics:
