Okay, so whoever made this video only shows his or hers ignorance based on the misunderstandings of the bible. The verses quoted in this video will be highlighted blue. He first speaks on Exodus 21:7. And before we go any further let's look at the original bible translations from Hebrew and Greek.
Exodus 21:7 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to leave as the male slaves do.

Slave in Exodus 21:7 originally translated from Hebrew was the word lə·’ā·mā which translated meant, maidservant. in which was a paid servant. But even when the bible speaks about a servant who works against his will you can easily see the difference between the slave of the bible compared to the racially divided slavery we think of today. Exodus 21:2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything.M In fact, in Philemon, we read how a Christian household leader should to treat a servant/ slave

15Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

A Christian was supposed to treat a servant or slave just like a fellow man and or brother in Christ.
Ephesians 6Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8 knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord. 9And masters, treat your slaves the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.

Masters should not forget that their Father in Heaven is the same as their servant or slave. And God does not show favoritism. Different world but the Bible still is in all cases the best handbook on how to treat others.



Deuteronomy 22:28-29King James Version (KJV)

28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

This passage has nothing to do with slavery. Since in that day and age, they took one of God's earliest commandment as law and that was in
Genesis 2:24Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.

The passage in Deuteronomy was speaking against sex before marriage as it says if they are found then the man will give her father 50 shekels for breaking this commandment and then he shall by law become her husband. So basically sex before marriage if found they should become married.

In exodus
Exodus 35Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

The Sabbath Command

35 Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 For six days work is to be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord. Anyone who does work on it must be executed.

Christ came to complete the law and now the law only reminds us how unperfect we are in Gods eyes. But because of Christ and his death we are no longer bound to the law but to the grace of Jesus Christ. Without the law, we would not know the difference between God's way of living compared to our sinful human nature. So with the law and Gods grace, we learn we should live as Paul recommends in Romans 14 as to keep every day like the sabbath. Every day we must honor the Lord and keep it holy. Not just one day. The first 5 books of the bible were Gods way of trying to teach his people how to show him respect and how to live.


Matthew 5Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Christ Fulfills the Law

17 “Don’t assume that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For I assure you: Until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter[d] or one stroke of a letter will pass from the law until all things are accomplished.
Romans 14Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5 One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.6 Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord.[c] Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, yet he thanks God. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.


Leviticus 11:7Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

the pig, though it has divided hooves,
does not chew the cud—it is unclean for you.

Genesis 1Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

24 Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that crawl, and the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 So God made the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and creatures that crawl on the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

God's creatures on earth were good and made for man to subdue. But animals that were sacrificed to idols became something many jews stayed away from.

These laws seem to have been intended, 1. As a test of the people's obedience, as Adam was forbidden to eat of the tree of knowledge; and to teach them self-denial, and the government of their appetites. 2. To keep the Israelites distinct from other nations. Many of these forbidden animals were objects of superstition and idolatry to the heathen.

And so this is why we are not TODAY held to only eating certain animals. As I will say again God was training his people to live a holy life and to refrain from eating sacrificed animals to other idols. We are more spiritually mature and have come a long way from the men and woman in the Old testament.


Deuteronomy 22:9Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9 Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; otherwise, the entire harvest, both the crop you plant and the produce of the vineyard, will be defiled.


Leviticus 19:19Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)


19 “You are to keep My statutes. You must not crossbreed two different kinds of your livestock, sow your fields with two kinds of seed, or put on a garment made of two kinds of material.

The first 5 books of the bible were Gods way of trying to teach his people how to show him respect while keeping his chosen people Holy and how to live. I mean he also had to tell these people how to go to the bathroom only showing us how childish and unknowing these people were. As his people grew in faith and maturity over all them years you see God not having to drill all the teachings from the first 5 books.


Deuteronomy 23:12Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12 You must have a place outside the camp and go there to relieve yourself.

Here in Acts ch15, we see the Christ followers called The Way ( before nicknamed Christian) hold a council meeting on how will they treat gentiles towards upholding the law.
Acts 15Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2 But after Paul and Barnabas had engaged them in serious argument and debate, the church arranged for Paul and Barnabas and some others of them to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning this controversy. 3 When they had been sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, explaining in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and they created great joy among all the brothers.

4 When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them. 5 But some of the believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses!”
The Jerusalem Council

6 Then the apostles and the elders assembled to consider this matter.


10 Now then, why are you testing God by putting a yoke on the disciples’ necks that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? 11 On the contrary, we believe we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way they are.”

19 Therefore, in my judgment, we should not cause difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn to God, 20 but instead we should write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality,from eating anything that has been strangled, and from blood


28 For it was the Holy Spirit’s decision—and ours—to put no greater burden on you than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. You will do well if you keep yourselves from these things.


Here is another reason above why we can eat any animal as long as it's not offered to idols. But this also makes Deuteronomy 22:9 and Leviticus 19:19 obsolete to a gentile who is no longer bound to a law that no one could bear.


Colossians 3:18-19Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)


18 Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and don’t be bitter toward them.


Ephesians 5:22-33Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Wives and Husbands

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord, 23 for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her with the washing of water by the word.27 He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless. 28 In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church.

This relationship between husband and wife sounds very loving and caring in my opinion.


1 Timothy 2:12Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)


12 I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to be silent.

In that culture, women were not allowed a formal education, so virtually all women in Ephesus at that time were illiterate. This, of course, made being a woman teacher a bit difficult!
Melanie Kierstead, of Asbury College, also argues that Paul wrote the controversial passage to address the matriarchal culture of Asia Minor, and particularly Ephesus, where the gods were all women and the human men were ceremonially castrated. Thus, these are specific instructions for a specific people (those in the Ephesus church) at a specific time (first century) in a particular place

Also if you look at the entire Bible’s view of women, you see many leaders and teachers: prophets (Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Isaiah’s wife, Philipp’s four daughters), military leader and judge (Deborah), disciples (Mary, Martha, Joanna, Mary Magdalene, Susanna, and “many more”), deacon (Priscilla), and church leader (Lydia).
Then you have to deal with Acts 2:1718 which is a fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy “your sons and daughters will

prophecy.”

This link will also give more in-depth detail on understanding a woman's role in eyes of God.
Is there a Bible contradiction in 1 Timothy 2:12–14?

To get back to the ignorance of the beginning of this video......

Leviticus 18:22Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)


22 You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable.


Bisexual is just as detestable as homosexual stated above.

Romans 1Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18 For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, 19 since what can be known about God is evident among them,because God has shown it to them. 20 For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse. 21 For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools


24 Therefore God delivered them over in the cravings of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves.25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.
From Idolatry to Depravity

26 This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.27 The males in the same way also left natural relations with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.

28 And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.29 They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. 32 Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud[v] others who practice them.

And before anyone tries and say see your religion says homosexuals deserve to die. In God's eyes yes the sinner that's without the mercy of Christ will find death through the body and soul. Because we as Christians are taught to
Matthew 5:21Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21 “You have heard that it was said to our ancestors, Do not murder,and whoever murders will be subject to judgment.

And also to
Matthew 5:44Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Mark 12:31Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

31 “The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.”

So we see God doesn't like un-natural relationships between men and woman and as stated below how God created us to live.

Genesis 1Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

27 So God created man in His own image;
He created him in the image of God;
He created them male and female.

28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.
Genesis 2

24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.

It would have been mighty hard to multiply if we tried to be fruitful with same-sex partners.


And so I end this rant because I felt compelled to defend my faith against misleading information in this video that not only tries to make Christians look as he says ignorant but also to mislead unbelievers. Which I will not allow!
