Jesus in Genesis Part 3 Conclusion

VenomfangX conducted a video teaching his audience about something called "macrocodes" found hidden in the text of Genesis. These "macrocodes" as supposedly "prophecy" concerning the life, ministry, death and resurrection of the New Testament character, Jesus Christ. The "macrocodes" are believed to be evidence not only of Jesus as a historical figure and his importance as the savior of mankind, but also of God himself and the inerrancy of the Bible.

This video series will examine these so-called "macrocodes" to see if they have any validity, are actually something that can be discovered in the text, or if another apologist is just playing fast and loose with the scriptures.

Pity that someone as intelligent as Shawn (though clearly suffering from some emotional disturbance) spends his time and energy on this crap. And all for nothing. The New Testament was written by people intimately familiar with the old, thousands of years after the old. They clearly backed into it. And I don't see the need to prove that the Old Testament has all this code in it anyway. What does it prove?

[brettppalmer]

@mhender668 "...backed into it..." Love it!

[AtheismTV]

You forgot the blatantly obvious. Let's suppose for one minute that the "macrocode" idea is all true, and that the Joseph story is really a preview of what's going to come.

What if the opposite really happened? What if the story of jebus was copied on the story of Joseph?? Some Atheists actually think this is the case.

[brettppalmer]

@AtheismTV No, I covered that, if only briefly, in the conclusion. NT patterns (if there are any) of Jesus's story were taken from the OT and not vice versa. In other words, the NT authors combed through the OT in search of ways to connect Jesus with these older stories, not that the older stories prefigured (in a prophetic way) the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Christ.

[SantiBernhardt]

Doesn't Shawn's ass get jealous of all the shit that comes out of his mouth?

[Sines314]

You know, the whole 'approaching god robed in deception' is a more believable alternative explanation for Jesus. You see, Jesus saw what a tyrant his father was, and in order to fool his evil plans to torture everyone for eternity, he came up with the whole sacrifice thing himself to screw over his evil dads system.

Ignore all those biblical passages that contradict this. The devil can quote scripture to his own ends, don't you know.

[Sines314]

How is Jesus 'the firstborn son of god', if humans are also children of god? I mean, Jesus had to be borne of Mary.

Oh right... that whole... trinity thing. The solution to, and cause of, all questions about christianity. *sigh*

[kyebean]

@SantiBernhardt No, because peradventure it has so many pastor's dicks coming into it, it feels very satisfied.

[kyebean]

I am a smooth man... my father "peradventure" will feel me... that's just the story of VFX's life right there.

[Starbat88]

Beautiful ending.  I really enjoyed this series. Great work!

[unkledanbot]

Macrocodes are the dumbest version of prophecy I've heard about.

I don't suppose apologists have ever learned of 'archetypes'.

[FinflazodeTurroai]

But brett, you should know by now that Venon is insane, on top of being poisonous...

[philosophicalreason]

well at least venom never said,dog spelled backwards is god,well yet anyway.

Cool Report!

I have no doubt that Shawn is gonna make a fortune as an evangelist someday. Maybe then he'll make that donation to Sick Kids Hospital.
