The bible has a handful of good ideas in it, but overall it is THE WORST BOOK I've ever read, (followed by apologists books).
-It's very sloppily written.
-It repeats and contradicts itself ad nauseam.
-It's grossly immoral and barbaric.
I'm more appalled than impressed by it.

A large part of the texts of the Bible were written in ancient Hebrew, before the language had any vowels. Even rabbinical scholars debate what various passages mean.
I'm impressed if you read the entire Bible. Which translation did you use?

The Amplified bible.

I haven't seen one of those in years. It's almost a paraphrasing of the texts of the Bible. For scathing critiques of Christianity, aside from Richard Carrier and Robert Price, I like to get Jewish perspectives. This rabbi is good (and often humorous)

You have no idea how much I am enjoying this video. It's exactly what I'd been wanting to see: Jews debunking Christianity.
It's awesome! Thanks again for sharing it!

Who knows the Bible better than the Jews? lol. By definition, the Jesus depicted in the New Testament is so much NOT the Messiah (the Christ) that it is absurd to contend otherwise. Rabbi Skobac has other videos on YT. He is well versed on the subject. And I like his dry wit.

You are absolutely correct, who better than the jews to refute Christianity?
I'll definitely look for more of his videos, because I really enjoyed this one!

Click on the Youtube channel there listed below the video, Jews for Judaism, and you will find more of his expositions.
The real originator of Christianity was the character Paul aka Saul of Tarsus, who claimed to have private hallucinations of his own personal Jesus, and managed to sever the fledgling cult from its Jewish roots and turn it into a universal doctrine
