In this part of the video, the narrator discusses various instances from the Bible where divine actions led to significant loss of life. This includes specific events such as an angel wiping out 185,000 soldiers in one night and a group of boys being mauled by bears after teasing the prophet Elisha. The narrator calculated the number of deaths attributed directly to God in the Bible, arriving at a total of 2,559,449 based on explicit biblical records. The count dramatically increases when including estimates and historical guesses for unspecified numbers of deaths, such as those in entire cities or armies, reaching about 4,681,116. The most significant event discussed is the Great Flood, for which the estimated human death toll is added, bringing the total to approximately 24 million. The narrator emphasizes how this substantial figure, gathered from biblical data, presents a stark contrast when compared to the deaths attributed to Satan in the Bible.

In this part of the video, the discussion centers on understanding God’s high biblical kill count and how this portrayal aligns with ancient conceptions of divine authority. The video touches upon historical debates, including Marcian’s 144 A.D. theory of two Gods—one vengeful and one loving—which was later deemed heretical. The explanation is then linked to the characteristics of an ancient king, highlighting two key aspects: upholding law and engaging in warfare. This correlation underlines that many deaths in the Old Testament are due to violations of divine laws (akin to an ancient king’s strict rule enforcement) and God’s involvement in warfare, mirroring the actions of deities in surrounding cultures.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how the depiction of God has evolved from the Old Testament to the New Testament. In the Old Testament, God was portrayed as a warrior and powerful king, with references to military might and law enforcement, as seen in the Song of Moses. This portrayal is contrasted with other ancient deities and their mythologies. However, the New Testament shifts the portrayal to a more forgiving and grace-filled father figure, which reflects a significant change in how people viewed God’s nature. The speaker also touches on the challenge of reconciling God’s actions in the Bible with modern perceptions and mentions their preference for historical explanations.
