Is this true

0 Upvotes

I've been in bible classes since 3rd grade to now being in a very good church, but I came across these videos independently recently by a guy named Dan McClellan who claims to be a bible scholar but his lessons are making no sense, this is the last video I watched by him where he tries to make the ten commandment out like suggestions, and he rewrites the entire definition of the ten:

I really am not a full bible scholar by any reach and am still learning things, Is this lesson right?

About

Intended as a companion to /r/AcademicBiblical, this sub allows professional scholars a forum to discuss their field in a more informal setting. Our sister sub demands strict academic standards for all comments, but /r/AskBibleScholars is a forum where professional scholars can be asked for their personal opinion, advice, and recommendations about any aspect of their work or the field of Biblical scholarship in general.

While we focus primarily on the scholarship of Biblical texts and their history, we also accept discussion of related extra-biblical writings such as the Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Nag Hammadi texts, among others. Linguistics, ancient theology, and the reception history of the texts are also relevant.

We study the Bible as a compilation of literature worthy of study like any other ancient text, and as an artefact of the historical contexts which produced the Jewish and Christian religions. Academic Biblical Studies is a field just like any other in the humanities, with practitioners from many different backgrounds, both religious and non-religious. Published literature has undergone peer review in line with standard academic practices.

Quality Contributors are those who are not scholars themselves, but have proved themselves well read enough on the scholarship to be able to provide an informed opinion about the topic.
