True believers would smile and say thank you before being executed .ahmen .that's faith on another level.
That's Stupidity, a man being a god. Stupidity.
@@ISAiah.42 lol...says you, a person that forms an opinion on a world that he has not even seen and hardly lived in.
It's pretty foolish to think that your opinion sets boundaries of what's possible and what isn't...
Edit: the world you haven't seen is the one you're living on right now... You've been limited to a single planet and a fallible brain...
But the God we serve is smarter than you... So why would you assume he cannot do what we cannot?
@@antrodaze910 what? Shut the hell up .. lol you dont have a clue about me. All you're doing is whining about being in error.
Revelation 13:14 (NLT)
14 And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, *he DECEIVED all the people* who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a *GREAT STATUE of the first BEAST, WHO WAS FATALLY WOUNDED AND THEN CAME BACK TO LIFE*
The cross is the mark of the beast, the beast that was fatally wounded and came back to life. (Died and Resurected)
They place the cross (mark of the beast) in your forehead on Ash Wednesday and they perform the cross with their right hands
The Spanish Inquisition killed you if you didn't accept the Mark of this Beast, you cannot buy or sell if you are dead.
The false prophet who is the face of Christianity, is a model after the Pope's son, Cesare Borgia.
You were warned not to worship this man as a god in these end times.
So what statue did they build of a false god that died and resurected?
What other man is being worshipped as god today?
What other god, that has died and resurrected, was made into a statue?

The BEST proof of Christianity is when GOD enters your body mind and soul, reveals the TRUTH to you and pours HIS LOVE into your ❤.
@Blah Blahblah
What l describe is MY experience. It is what was REVEALED to me along with much information about the battleground for the control of our REALITY that exists in the the collective consciousness behind the scenes. It is a battle for our very souls. GOD, THE LOGOS, did take on human form to VOLUNTARILY be put to DEATH in order to disconnect us from the MATRIX of the evil spiritual forces that keep us as hostages and to translate us into HIS KINGDOM where we recieve HIS LOVE , PEACE and SAFETY. HE is our DOOR out of this evil labyrinth!
@Blah Blahblah
How can worshiping the LOGOS, THE ONE TRUE GOD can possibly make me a pagan? A pagan, by definition, does exactly the opposite. Does not acknowledge or believe in the ALMIGHTY but on lesser forces or on the creation itself.
The followers of any of the many thousands of religions mankind has invented say exactly the same thing about their beliefs that contradict yours. Your feelings can never be a good guide to reality for yourself or anyone else. When people stop imagining they are the special snowflakes of the creator of the universe the world will be a much better place. Learn some science and critical thinking.
@Blah Blahblah
But if GOD and JESUS are ONE, as HE HIMSELF claimed and l also happen to believe, I am NO Idol worshiper AT ALL!
I can support that o have experienced it
Bottom line... NO HUMAN WILL DIE FOR WHAT THEY KNOW IS A LIE! The disciples fully believed what they saw unto death. Even the best trained military man cannot hold up under torture to cover a lie. Yet To cover the truth.... they endure more than any human could.
And in reality we barely have any evidence that the disciples died as martyrs or that they even had a chance to save their lives by admitting that their stories were made up.
If all disciples recanted their claims but were killed anyway we wouldn’t know about it.
Bottom line… it’s a silly argument.
But they will die for something that they believe to be true, even when it isnt
@ He Sees All---
Like the vast majority of religious people, you fail to understand the huge difference between "belief" and "knowledge!"
@@Lonewolf--- so you believe in the big bang THEORY? That still has not been scientifically proven otherwise it wouldn't have theory at the end! Intelligent design demands an Intelligent creator. And there is still no fossil evidence to prove evolution. Worse yet... if evolution is true, why were bat fossils found with dinosaur fossils exactly like they look now? And the Petradon dinosaur was as if it just appeared perfect. There are no fossil records leading up to its evolution. Dont even get me started on Morality. Because if there Is No creator outside of time and space that dictates morality then it is just relative, a matter of taste, a choice and if that's the case then you can't tell the nazis what they did was wrong because morality is relative. You live by faith just as much as I do.
@@heseesall25 You either honestly don't understand the use of the words theory in scientific terms or you are willfully using deceptive propaganda to make your argument.
I'm going to assume you are writing from a place of ignorance. So, let me point out a few things. Science does not work in proofs. It is IMPOSSIBLE to prove any theory. The best we can do is collect evidence. At a certain point we collect enough evidence to accept a theory as the best explanation. (The word proof, used precisely, really only applies to mathematics, where it is possible to prove the Pythagorean Theorem, for example).
There is a colloquial understanding that in science the word theory is used when we can't absolutely prove something and law is used when we can. This is not the case. A law actually has less explanatory scope than a theory. A law only describes a natural phenomenon but doesn't explain how that phenomenon works. Newton's Law of gravity, for example, explains that that all objects with mass are attracted to one another and through that law, we know why an apple fell from a tree and we can also predict the orbits of the planets in our solar system. What Newton's law cannot do is explain why objects with mass are attracted to one another. It wasn't until Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which explained that objects with mass, bend and warp space time, causing objects that would normally move in a straight line to curve towards each other, that we had a understanding of why gravity works.
I tried a Google search for the bat fossils found with dinosaur fossils and I came up empty. Can you provide a source?
The fact that it would suck if morality was relative is not an argument for the existence of God. The universe we live in has no obligation not to suck. As to the nazis, can you explain to me how objective morality helped us demonstrate the wrongness of their beliefs? From what I remember, no one was able to sit down with Hitler and explain how his position was morally wrong. It seems our sense of what is "objectively right" was different from what his sense of it. So, we had to fight a war over that disagreement. From a practical point of view, whether or not there is a god, we live in a world of moral relativism, where one person's morality wins out over another only through argument, convincing or (sometimes) violence. (I edited this paragraph because either there was a glitch from UA-cam the first time I posted, or I accidentally deleted a chunk before posting.)
As to your original point that no human will die for what they know is a lie. How do you explain martyrs of other religions and cults?
Christ is Risen!
Yawn. And he needs credulous cult members to defend him with UA-cam comments, rather than defending himself with his divine superpowers.
@@mythbuster1483 Jesus isn't loose with his majesty. Only in his heartedness and spirit can Jesus be known by all in the world. The Lord through Christ Jesus baptizes hearts with his spirit. That's abundant. Call out. Pray.
@@UnremarkableMarx How would you know? Because some member of a cult told you so---just like every other religious nut you claim are deceived?--like Mormons, Hindus, Moslems, etc? Your posts prove the bible is false. "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move.

@@mythbuster1483 "... rather than defending himself with his divine superpowers." - That time will come, my friend ... 😎
In his posthumously-published Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John, Isaac Newton expressed his belief that Bible prophecy would not be understood "until the time of the end", and that even then "none of the wicked shall understand". Isaac Newton was a wise and foreseeing man ...
James, becoming a believer, I think is one of the best examples! Siblings have a way of "keeping it real." He didn't follow his brother and wasn't even recorded in the gospels as being at the crucifixion. What changed? He saw his brother resurrected, and it changed everything for him. He came to believe that Jesus was the Promised Messiah!
All you have is a STORY, which you believe, on faith, because you lack critical thinking skills and can't differentiate between unsupported claims and actual evidence that such claims are true. If it says so in a book with a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, written by anonymous, biased members of a death cult, then it MUST be a reliable source?!! *SUCKER* - “a person who believes everything they are told and is therefore easy to deceive” - Cambridge Dictionary
Someone having their brother tortured to death and having a lot of emotions to process and then changing his previously negative beliefs about his brother and spending time with his brothers' old friends and joining in on whatever delusion [I don't mean that word pejoratively, just descriptively] they're having is not surprising at all.
I've always thought James was a non starter. Just because he didn't initially follow him doesn't mean he wouldn't have a change of heart after having a lot of emotions to process.
@@Greyz174 he didn't follow him before the crucifixion. Even though he saw the works Jesus had done. His change of mind and heart happened after he saw his brother risen from the dead. Then he came to believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
@@Sundayschoolnetwork You're simply talking about literary characters in a story. You have no evidence that these people ever existed. This is like arguing whether Spider-Man could beat Wolverine. If it says so in a book with a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, written by anonymous, biased members of a death cult, then it MUST be a reliable source?!! *SUCKER* - “a person who believes everything they are told and is therefore easy to deceive” - Cambridge Dictionary
@@Greyz174 But you have to assume, on faith, that stories are true by anonymous, biased fanatics in manuscripts dated hundreds of years after the supposed events, that are filled with proven fiction, forgery and fraud. And that's fine, but you can't claim that you have any actual evidence for these claims. Also, liars can claim anything, and fools can believe anything on faith, but liars and fools can't actually present credible evidence for their cult's stories being true. Right? You have no more evidence for Jesus and James than Muslims do that the angel Gabriel appeared to Muhammad and gave him the Quran. "Magic book says so" is not an argument, it's a logical fallacy.
1. Jesus died by Crucifixion.
2. The disciples had experiences that they believed were appearances of a risen Jesus.
3. They were even willing to die for that belief.
4. Resurrection was proclaimed very early (immediately after the cross).
5. James, Brother of Jesus, became a Christian.
6. Apostle Paul, used to be a persecutor of Christians, also believed.
I'll grant you no.6, the rest are claims, not accepted facts.
They are all claims by a book that has been subject to editing
@@ManxThor Is this a claim or a fact?
@@MikeKing-ei4cl That a book has been "subject to editing" (whatever that means) doesn't prove the book is wrong about its content. I recommend you turn the TV off and do some reading.
@@lomaschueco editing doesn't mean that it's wrong necessarily. But it means that it's been altered. Which means that at least one part of it is untrue. If at least one part of it is untrue, one can't reasonably assert that any specific claim (especially an extraordinary supernatural claim) must be true unless we provide corroborating evidence for that claim. We have no such corroborating evidence for the resurrection. We have only the Bible.
When you add to that the fact the stories had been passed by mouth for at least 30 years before being written down (largely by anonymous authors), suddenly even the originals (let alone the edits) seem a bit dodgy.
Have you ever played the "telephone" game? How about instead of playing with one discrete sentence over a 10 minute time period, it's books worth of detailed stories including places and dates over decades. There are a couple ways this information could be transmitted over 30ish years.. Lots of transmissions from person to person to maximize rememberability (lots of people know the story so if some of them die, there are still more people who can pass it on). This scenario of course has translation issues and miscommunication issues and exaggeration issues and omission issues etc. Each link in the chain is potential for an "edit" or mistake. So the more people in this web, the more distinct stories there will be at the end and it will be much more difficult to trust either of them.
The other scenario is one or a few people carrying the memory on their own and then writing about it 30 years later. We know enough about the physiology of memory to know that eye witness testimony (if that even is what the gospels are) after 30 years should hardly be considered a firm foundation for believing in extraordinary supernatural claims.
I haven’t had a near death experience but God has shown me 5 visions, spoken to me out loud twice, one time he spoke in my mind and it was as though the entire universe went dead silent except for what he said to me, and multiple other times he has spoken to me in my spirit. It doesn’t matter who believes me. I’ll stand on my testimony until I see Him face to face and can lay prostrate at His feet and worship Him in person for calling me out of this evil world to follow Him. I pray the rest of the planet does the same before it’s too late.
Nobody is going to take your delusions and misinterpretations of coincidences as anything but that. You saying this will not help anyone. If anything this will make others misinterpret their experiences and make them fall down a path of lies and self-destruction. I hope one day you will find the one thing that'll make you question everything so you can see clearly.
@@mainstream1647 you’re wrong. Those who don’t have a hard heart like you, those who are seeking the Truth - everyone on Earth is actually seeking the Truth, and until it’s revealed to them by the Holy Spirit don’t know that’s it’s actually Jesus Christ they seek - even you or you would not be watching videos like this - those who don’t love their lives and hate God, those who are in rebellion and want to be god of their own lives, will read my testimony and the Holy Spirit will use it for good in their lives. How do I know that? How can I claim it with absolute certainty? How can I declare that it is a fact?

Another great interview Cam. Hi from Scotland. 👋🏴
Even if you could call the Torah/bible/Quran evidence, it’s poor. For example, if the bible is egregiously faulty then the main character’s existence is likely fantasy. If the existence of Yahweh/Allah is a fiction (Muslims believe in the first five books of the Old Testament) then the god man/prophet Jesus cannot stand, nor any Abrahamic Prophet, such as Muhammad. Faith based on the contents of the bible/Quran is worthless for the following reasons…
Of the Canaanite gods. El was the top god (sort of Roman Saturn) Ba’al (Jupiter) was next, then down the line was the war god Yahweh (Mars). The Jews nicked him and made him the creator. All nonsense.
The first line of the bible is clearly incorrect. The Earth was formed at least 9.8 billion years after the heavens. How did the creator get that wrong? And, the rest of the creation is wrong. It’s as if an ancient ignorant tribe wrote it all by themselves, no god to help.
There are no waters above the firmament. Heaven isn’t up there either, we’ve been there. The tribes of the Middle East wouldn’t have known oceans would be frozen but for the heat of the sun. Yet, in the biblical account, water filled the oceans and outer space, all with no sun. The light that made up the day was created before the sun. The ancients had no concept it was the sun that caused day and night onto a rotating Earth. The moon isn’t a light. It’s fiction by an ignorant tribe with no access to a god creator.
Adam was made from dirt by magic and he, this god, forgot about Eve, an afterthought. so not an all knowing and wise god then?
Snakes and donkeys talk, nonsense fiction, right up there with Harry Potter, though JK Rowling was clearly a better writer with fewer continuity errors.
This god set up Eve by placing this magic apple within her reach, before she knew right from wrong. Then punished humanity thereafter. What a vicious god, if not a fictional one.
Nonsense fiction, by an ignorant ancient people writing about their mythology, their nation’s origins, steeped in the mists of the past, just the same as the Greek, Persian and Babylonian cultures write about their make believe gods who were equally fervently worshipped. Inanna, the dying and rising goddess was such an example. But many more dying and rising gods in the lexicon of ancient myths. Virgin births were pretty common too.
Adam and Eve’s children (as Eve was a clone of Adam) and grandchildren (as Cain, Able and Seth only had Eve to produce offspring or with their unknown sisters) could only have been produced by incest, then double incest, according to the biblical account. But, as Eve was a clone of Adam, there would be no genetic diversity. Such a lack of diversity would have meant the death of the human species, ask the Hapsburgs. But then, their god wouldn’t have known about genetics? Of course not.
The Exodus apparently didn’t happen according to all evidence, acknowledged by the Jewish archaeologists who have tried to find it. The Egyptians never wrote of their army being swallowed by the sea. Mosses may never existed.
There is a massive amount of genocide in the bible by a god who failed to get the locals to behave. Genocide because the Israelites needed a land to make home. If a creator of the universe and humans could have just thought a new land, a new island, south of Cyprus, it would have appeared. Easy for a god, not so for an ancient tribe to pull off? Then, this god could have told these others how to behave and punished individuals, if that’s what was needed. But no, he went straight to mass murder. What?
And, the greatest god in the universe was defeated by iron chariots: Judges1:19. That is so ridiculous, such a puny god. Or, is it because the story was a creation of a tribe that had no concept of future technologies or tactics to defeat these new Iron Age chariots? I’m sure that a human Napoleon type tactician could have done better than the all wise, all powerful fictitious creator god.
Genesis 19 tells us of Lot being raped by this daughters. And yet this god is moral? He could have changed the course of their predicament, found him a younger wife or servant to sleep with, if a god. More incest.
Abrahamic religion is a blood sacrifice barbaric religion.
The books that were supposedly written by Mosses consist of a linguistic style that didn’t exist at the time of his “life”. It’s a fictitious narrative, written by the Jews to give their new nation an historical legitimacy, and unify them, in the midst of other powerful cultures in the Middle East. Didn’t help much though, they were constantly being invaded and subjugated by more powerful “gods” of other warring nations. Even Yahweh acknowledged there were other gods.
Remember the Ten Commandments tablets that were conveniently broken and then without fuss, lost. An all powerful creator of the universe who missed the opportunity to create the tablets out of an advanced technology, Titanium or, something really exotic perhaps? Is that because the Jews didn’t know about such a thing with no understanding of the future? The forging and preservation of such a technology would have cemented the truth of their god. Broken conveniently disappeared stone tablets: clearly, no god involved.
Noah and his flood occurred when the Egyptians where going about their cultural and religious practices that continued afterwards; and, their religion was not replaced by the flood family’s immediate ancestors, fanning out from the ark. The Pharaohs and their gods continued unabated. No Yahweh? More incest?
The Chinese culture and writing developed along a continuum and they too were never taken the religion of Yahweh from the Middle East, by Noah’s relatives.
And, the ancient Britons and Australians failed to notice they were meant to be dead.
The New Testament, if it is read, critically, is inconsistent and evolves over time.
Indeed, the gospels were not written for decades after the death of this Jesus, whose birth and death are still questionable and no date can be asserted with clarity.
There’s no evidence that all the first born were killed either in Egypt nor by Herod. I think the Egyptians would have recorded such a calamity and the calamities of the plagues, but nothing. Was it all made up?
There is real historical evidence of John the Baptist, but not of the greater Jesus. There is historical evidence of Apollonius of Tyana, who allegedly ascended to heaven, similar to Jesus, but there is no extra biblical evidence of Jesus during his lifetime. There is an historical record of Jesus Ben Pandera but, no Jesus the Galilean outside of the bible. Nothing. There’s Jesus ben Ananias, a rude peasant, who went around Jerusalem in 66CE prophesying its fall in 70CE; he’s recorded in documents outside the bible, but not the biblical Jesus. His alleged disciples never wrote anything they were uneducated peasants. Contemporaries never recorded his miracles nor his troublesome nature. The bible account says he was widely known and a divisive figure that the Romans never recorded. Neither did the Jews.
And, the crucified were left to rot on the cross/pole on which they were hung as a warning to insurrectionists? No empty tomb, it’s a fiction to turn a myth into a “fact”. To turn a dead man or a fictional man into god.
Pilate was, in real history, recorded history, a truly nasty contemptuous man, he would never have allowed the process of crucifixion as a warning to have been undermined. And, the alleged trial is a tale of the blood cult of scapegoating. Even Barabbus was a literary device representing scapegoating, suggesting it never occurred. Barabbus means, son of the teacher, or son of the father. The gospel writers where representing the two characters as essentially the same, one became the goat sacrifice. And, the twist was that the Jews shouted to let the murderer go, allowing the blame for Jesus’s death to be placed on the Jews and not the imperial Romans. It was very much a political narrative because the Jews and Romans where essentially at war, the destruction of the Temple in 70AD/CE, and this new sect/cult needed to distinguish themselves from the Jewish troublemakers, and the ongoing violence of the time.
Paul never knew Jesus and only depicted him as a spiritual vision. He knew nothing of the man and nothing of his life or his teachings. More evidence that the Chrestos (anointed) was mythical?
The first time the gospels were mentioned was in 180AD/CE by Irenaeus. Indeed, a very prominent Christian, Theophilus, said that he came to believe in Jesus from reading the Jewish Scriptures or, Torah. No mention of the gospels, no quoting of anything Jesus allegedly said. Best date for the gospels is circa, 170-182AD/CE. The myth of the god man Jesus was created over many years. Mark was first written, not until at least 70AD/CE, say Christian scholars but, as above, likely much later.
No record of the star of Bethlehem, of the graves emptying, or the sky darkening. It’s fiction. No Mosses, Abraham, No Noah, no Flood. As for flying horses in the Quran, that’s straight out of Greek mythology, and no one should believe in such nonsense today.
Thanks for sharing
In order to keep my faith I found that I had to loosen up my understanding of what is compelling evidence. It’s almost like believing is something we are told to do - or else. It’s like muscle we have to train over and over or else we shall fail. Thank you for this message…
Absurd hearsay claims by biased religious nuts aren't evidence that the claims are true.
If you have to “loosen up your understanding of what is compelling evidence,” it’s nothing more than an admission you don’t have actual compelling evidence. And if you need to be compelled to believe something by the threat of death, it’s not true belief.

The bible has been debunked as fiction by science, archaeology and biblical scholarship, but fortunately, you can PROVE that the bible is false and that Jesus is imaginary with a simple experiment. The anonymous scribes who wrote the gospel fairy tales claim that Jesus said: "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer" (Matt. 21:22). “Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23), "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24). So go ahead and set up your video camera and pray for Jesus to appear to you right now! If my reality-based worldview is correct, nothing will happen, which I can confidently predict in advance. But feel free to prove it to yourself that Jesus is imaginary. How did I know nothing would happen?
To counter typical excuses, the bible claims that Jesus appeared to people after his supposed death (1 Cor. 15:3-8), including the claim that he appeared to 500 people at once, and appeared to Paul. So the authors of the gospel tales knew that it was necessary to PROVE claims by having Jesus appear to people after his death in order to provide EVIDENCE that he was really resurrected (Acts 1:3). *FACTS*
1) If Jesus was real, and a god, he COULD appear to you, or to anyone.
2) He supposedly appeared to others in ancient stories that we have no evidence for.
3) Jesus supposedly promised that believers would “receive whatever you ask for in prayer” (Matt 21:22).
4) Regardless how much you pray or ask...Jesus won't appear.
The most likely explanation for the above? Jesus won’t appear because he CAN’T. Fictional literary characters can't hear prayers or do anything in real life. The authors of the gospel tales were liars. Praying to Jesus is no different than praying to Spider-Man or Gandalf, or any other fictional character in a book.
Which facts bro 😂
@@kelvinokuroemi I love when deluded cult members call unsubstantiated claims "facts", as if that fools educated people. If it says so in a book with a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, written by anonymous, biased members of a death cult who thought the world was flat and illness was caused by demons, then it MUST be true?!!

I admire how Dr. Habermas explains his academic work on the historical reliability of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. He speaks simply yet informatively; rigorously but also structurally, and scholarly yet Christ-centered.
I love going back to this vignette of your interview with him. It refreshes my knowledge on the reliability of the Resurrection narrative.
God bless you and your ministry all the more, brother.
There’s no such thing as historical reliability of the resurrection. Gary habermas is just making up delusional claims of what he wants morons like you to believe, there’s not one thing he claims mahatma an actual fact just wishful thinking. Of what he so desperately wants to be true.
No one can cause dead people to rise from the grave. If you carefully read the gospel accounts you will find no description whatsoever of the resurrection itself.
I believe the resurrection happened, but it had nothing to do with Jesus' body.
The early followers found that after Jesus died, they still found his power and presence abided with them.
@@aikido7 “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.”
- 1 Corinthians 15:3-7, 12-18
@@JCATG Noted.
It is not possible to write a narrative of the resurrection without omitting a single biblical detail. It just doesn't hang together, friend.
I think the fact that Jesus by his promised spirit is still influencing and completely changing lives 2000 yrs later stands as proof of what the scriptures say. Believers who study the scriptures and apply them to their lives have the proof concerning overcoming their sin nature.
This is something the unbeliever will never understand.
Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
When one is born of the spirit,it becomes so clear that he has risen,and god is working in this world to fulfil all the prophesies concerning the final days of Israel and faithful church.
The very nature of a crucified life is proof that Jesus has risen.
Those who are still in darkness will never comprehend this.
God is always ready to reason with an unbelieving person,but their heart must be sincerely wanting truth.
Can you give is a definition of "truth" please?
Also the definition of "proof", for bonus points.
poughkeepsieblue
The scriptural truth is the word made flesh.
All scripture and truth of scripture is found in Christ Jesus.
He is truth.
There are other truths of course ,but Christ is the embodiment of gods truth relayed to fallen man.

For a bonus of ten points?
The proof of god comes by his spirit, it is only when one understands that they are fallen and are willing to repent of their sinful state,will they know the proof that god exists.
You could also add that the creation of this world shows many fingerprints of intelligent design and is mathematically impossible to have just randomly happened by chance from nothing.
@@spiritofelijah5386 kids, that is not the definition of truth. Truth is anything based within our observable reality. You can check Merriam-Webster on that, I'm paraphrasing.
Spiritof Elijah, you just wrote a bunch of nonsensical word salad.
You failed to define proof. No extra credit.
I'm not sorry, everything you wrote is fiction. There is not a shred of proof or evidence for you to assert that fantasy. We could dismiss it as easily with no consequence. You can't even answer two questions you coulda googled.
Claims and beliefs do not the truth make. None of Gary's facts can stand without leaving the observer up to his neck in reasonable doubt.
That's true for a lot of ancient history though.
Why was there an ad for this on 4chan?
forty years ago I read a book called who moved the stone I saw that the tomb was empty the body was gone even though the temple guard was posted to guard it. I could not escape the conclusion that He had risen.Thats it.

Atheists must be held to the same standards of evidence and reason as Christians. As the agnostic biologist Steven Jay Gould said, theological arguments cannot be challenged by scientific arguments or vice versa. Gould understood that perhaps a third of his brilliant colleagues in science fields were practicing Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Shintoists, Animists, or other ists who found little problem reconciling their faith with science. Gould respected this. Hitchens and his ilk are great scientists, but horrible theologians and philosophers.

Numbers 31:17-18
King James Version
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Even if you could call the Torah/bible/Quran evidence, it’s poor. For example, if the bible is egregiously faulty then the main character’s existence is likely fantasy. If the existence of Yahweh/Allah is a fiction (Muslims believe in the first five books of the Old Testament) then the god man/prophet Jesus cannot stand, nor any Abrahamic Prophet, such as Muhammad. Faith based on the contents of the bible/Quran is worthless for the following reasons…
Of the Canaanite gods. El was the top god (sort of Roman Saturn) Ba’al (Jupiter) was next, then down the line was the war god Yahweh (Mars). The Jews nicked him and made him the creator. All nonsense.
The first line of the bible is clearly incorrect. The Earth was formed at least 9.8 billion years after the heavens. How did the creator get that wrong? And, the rest of the creation is wrong. It’s as if an ancient ignorant tribe wrote it all by themselves, no god to help.
There are no waters above the firmament. Heaven isn’t up there either, we’ve been there. The tribes of the Middle East wouldn’t have known oceans would be frozen but for the heat of the sun. Yet, in the biblical account, water filled the oceans and outer space, all with no sun. The light that made up the day was created before the sun. The ancients had no concept it was the sun that caused day and night onto a rotating Earth. The moon isn’t a light. It’s fiction by an ignorant tribe with no access to a god creator.
Adam was made from dirt by magic and he, this god, forgot about Eve, an afterthought. so not an all knowing and wise god then?
Snakes and donkeys talk, nonsense fiction, right up there with Harry Potter, though JK Rowling was clearly a better writer with fewer continuity errors.
This god set up Eve by placing this magic apple within her reach, before she knew right from wrong. Then punished humanity thereafter. What a vicious god, if not a fictional one.
Nonsense fiction, by an ignorant ancient people writing about their mythology, their nation’s origins, steeped in the mists of the past, just the same as the Greek, Persian and Babylonian cultures write about their make believe gods who were equally fervently worshipped. Inanna, the dying and rising goddess was such an example. But many more dying and rising gods in the lexicon of ancient myths. Virgin births were pretty common too.
Adam and Eve’s children (as Eve was a clone of Adam) and grandchildren (as Cain, Able and Seth only had Eve to produce offspring or with their unknown sisters) could only have been produced by incest, then double incest, according to the biblical account. But, as Eve was a clone of Adam, there would be no genetic diversity. Such a lack of diversity would have meant the death of the human species, ask the Hapsburgs. But then, their god wouldn’t have known about genetics? Of course not.
The Exodus apparently didn’t happen according to all evidence, acknowledged by the Jewish archaeologists who have tried to find it. The Egyptians never wrote of their army being swallowed by the sea. Mosses may never existed.
There is a massive amount of genocide in the bible by a god who failed to get the locals to behave. Genocide because the Israelites needed a land to make home. If a creator of the universe and humans could have just thought a new land, a new island, south of Cyprus, it would have appeared. Easy for a god, not so for an ancient tribe to pull off? Then, this god could have told these others how to behave and punished individuals, if that’s what was needed. But no, he went straight to mass murder. What?
And, the greatest god in the universe was defeated by iron chariots: Judges1:19. That is so ridiculous, such a puny god. Or, is it because the story was a creation of a tribe that had no concept of future technologies or tactics to defeat these new Iron Age chariots? I’m sure that a human Napoleon type tactician could have done better than the all wise, all powerful fictitious creator god.
Genesis 19 tells us of Lot being raped by this daughters. And yet this god is moral? He could have changed the course of their predicament, found him a younger wife or servant to sleep with, if a god. More incest.
Abrahamic religion is a blood sacrifice barbaric religion.
The books that were supposedly written by Mosses consist of a linguistic style that didn’t exist at the time of his “life”. It’s a fictitious narrative, written by the Jews to give their new nation an historical legitimacy, and unify them, in the midst of other powerful cultures in the Middle East. Didn’t help much though, they were constantly being invaded and subjugated by more powerful “gods” of other warring nations. Even Yahweh acknowledged there were other gods.
Remember the Ten Commandments tablets that were conveniently broken and then without fuss, lost. An all powerful creator of the universe who missed the opportunity to create the tablets out of an advanced technology, Titanium or, something really exotic perhaps? Is that because the Jews didn’t know about such a thing with no understanding of the future? The forging and preservation of such a technology would have cemented the truth of their god. Broken conveniently disappeared stone tablets: clearly, no god involved.
Noah and his flood occurred when the Egyptians where going about their cultural and religious practices that continued afterwards; and, their religion was not replaced by the flood family’s immediate ancestors, fanning out from the ark. The Pharaohs and their gods continued unabated. No Yahweh? More incest?
The Chinese culture and writing developed along a continuum and they too were never taken the religion of Yahweh from the Middle East, by Noah’s relatives.
And, the ancient Britons and Australians failed to notice they were meant to be dead.
The New Testament, if it is read, critically, is inconsistent and evolves over time.
Indeed, the gospels were not written for decades after the death of this Jesus, whose birth and death are still questionable and no date can be asserted with clarity.
There’s no evidence that all the first born were killed either in Egypt nor by Herod. I think the Egyptians would have recorded such a calamity and the calamities of the plagues, but nothing. Was it all made up?
There is real historical evidence of John the Baptist, but not of the greater Jesus. There is historical evidence of Apollonius of Tyana, who allegedly ascended to heaven, similar to Jesus, but there is no extra biblical evidence of Jesus during his lifetime. There is an historical record of Jesus Ben Pandera but, no Jesus the Galilean outside of the bible. Nothing. There’s Jesus ben Ananias, a rude peasant, who went around Jerusalem in 66CE prophesying its fall in 70CE; he’s recorded in documents outside the bible, but not the biblical Jesus. His alleged disciples never wrote anything they were uneducated peasants. Contemporaries never recorded his miracles nor his troublesome nature. The bible account says he was widely known and a divisive figure that the Romans never recorded. Neither did the Jews.
And, the crucified were left to rot on the cross/pole on which they were hung as a warning to insurrectionists? No empty tomb, it’s a fiction to turn a myth into a “fact”. To turn a dead man or a fictional man into god.
Pilate was, in real history, recorded history, a truly nasty contemptuous man, he would never have allowed the process of crucifixion as a warning to have been undermined. And, the alleged trial is a tale of the blood cult of scapegoating. Even Barabbus was a literary device representing scapegoating, suggesting it never occurred. Barabbus means, son of the teacher, or son of the father. The gospel writers where representing the two characters as essentially the same, one became the goat sacrifice. And, the twist was that the Jews shouted to let the murderer go, allowing the blame for Jesus’s death to be placed on the Jews and not the imperial Romans. It was very much a political narrative because the Jews and Romans where essentially at war, the destruction of the Temple in 70AD/CE, and this new sect/cult needed to distinguish themselves from the Jewish troublemakers, and the ongoing violence of the time.
Paul never knew Jesus and only depicted him as a spiritual vision. He knew nothing of the man and nothing of his life or his teachings. More evidence that the Chrestos (anointed) was mythical?
The first time the gospels were mentioned was in 180AD/CE by Irenaeus. Indeed, a very prominent Christian, Theophilus, said that he came to believe in Jesus from reading the Jewish Scriptures or, Torah. No mention of the gospels, no quoting of anything Jesus allegedly said. Best date for the gospels is circa, 170-182AD/CE. The myth of the god man Jesus was created over many years. Mark was first written, not until at least 70AD/CE, say Christian scholars but, as above, likely much later.
No record of the star of Bethlehem, of the graves emptying, or the sky darkening. It’s fiction. No Mosses, Abraham, No Noah, no Flood. As for flying horses in the Quran, that’s straight out of Greek mythology, and no one should believe in such nonsense today.

No record of the star of Bethlehem, of the graves emptying, or the sky darkening. It’s fiction. No Mosses, Abraham, No Noah, no Flood. As for flying horses in the Quran, that’s straight out of Greek mythology, and no one should believe in such nonsense today.
I can prove the Resurrection beyond any doubt in about 10 seconds or less: "Jesus rose because I say so". Case closed.
Basically. Argumentum ad populum + anecdotes=data + disregard counterindicating evidence
He starts with a few facts and provides evidence to support them. Fact one, Jesus was crucified. Then he offers In book titled “the case for the resurrection” seven extra biblical pieces of evidence to support this fact. Secon fact, the apostles believed that they had seen the risen Jesus. He provides several categories of evidence including Paul, oral tradition and written tradition to support that fact. Obviously much more but I don’t have time to tell you about it.Read his book.
Lol did you even watch the video
Yep you nailed the theist position perfectly
@@mgreene011 For fucks sake just what is your evidence for no 1 ? UMMMM NOTHING AT ALL. Quote the extra biblical evidence ! I know of 4 I can dismiss without even trying but go ahead impress me. Oral tradition ? so you believe in Ra, Thor, Atlas, or Thetans ? What you have is nothing but conjecture and circular reasoning, the bible is right because people who believed in the bible say they are right, you have NOTHING more
The fact that humans exist is a miracle we are unlike any creature that exists on this planet
@@mickqQ ok bro think of it like this...us humans are physically not given the tools to survive on primal instinct with that of the likes of a canine or feline or ect... we would die because our enviornment would have hunded us down by animals eating us or dying in cold weather because we are naked compared to most land mammals. But we have something unique and special to us that i belive god gave us is dominion over animals which is our intillect, our communication(such as the one between you and i now), behavior, building, and thought is so unlike any other animal there is living, because compared to us humans animals are simply retarded and why is that? Most if not all of the animal kingdom runs on primal instinct, but again us humans are beyond primal instinct and developed a sense of what is good and evil.
@@WeiFinder yeah and our sense of morality good vs evil
@@WeiFinder do you also forget that no other animal has the superior intellect we have?...do you forget they are retarded compared to us and function on primal instinct alone? eat,sleep,pro create, die us humans branch out far beyond all animals we are always trying to be diverse and create a better life for ourselves, and you also see we dont always agree with eachother and form different political ideal that even down to the basics no other animal functions like us, we also have a unique ability to have empathy with humans and animals... do you notice that "generally" animals dont get along with other species, but we humans can somehow figure the diverse behavior of animals out and form meaningless bonds with them such as our pets like cats and dogs that do not serve a purpose for us in this day and age because we dont need them.
Also to add to my statement is that humans know how to process risk aversion way better than any other animal,...here is an example, i can tame wild animals such as a horse, but if i tried to tame a wild lion it would be much more work so to make it less risky i would kill or knock out the lion and take its babies to form a bond with me..and hell i could probably steal them in front of their parents without them even having distain against me as i raise them because they dont know what good and evil is!...this is a thought process that animals do not have, only one is similar which is ape but they even then are pretty retarded compared to us.
@@WeiFinder also are you are dumb i got a 5.56 with a 30 round mag with a scope set up for a 100yrds(tool humans made) those lions dont stand a chance 🥴😂 ....im clearly not going out there to have a fair fight or i will get killed i can shoot them then steal the babies and raise them as my own and tell them i killed their parents as they grew up they would not know the evils i did because they would not understand. Now if you tried that with a human that would fail because that stolen child knows evil and they will resent you while a pet lion will still "love" you.

Good deal, only one thing I may disagree with, Paul was standing there when they stoned Steven. Although he did not come to Christ until later, he was very much aware of everything that happened. He even quoted Jesus a few times in his writings.
I would argue he was in the area when Jesus was crucified.
Now, everyone needs someone who can speak to them on their level. I believe that's why Jesus chose Paul. The message of salvation, "sozo", is on every possible level these tiny brains can imagine. As Paul said, I became weak to gain the weak and so on. Thing is, Jesus is not afraid to reveal Himself. He said, I will teach you, I will do it, I will not leave you as orphans, I will visit you. He also said He would reveal Himself to those who have never heard the gospel.
Anyway, good video, very good. Blessings
@Larry Cavalli
Paul exhorted the kingdom of heaven. His testimony exalts Jesus. Any conversation less than that brings confusion, bitterness and anger. We are to love one another, walk peacefully with one another and edify in love the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anything less than that is sin. So I would encourage you brother to continue reading and studying the scriptures. Rather than finding fault in the word ask holy spirit to reveal the true meaning to you so you may lift up your neighbor in love
@Larry Cavalli You are incorrect. Typical google searcher I see.

@@gowdsake7103 the problem with people who dont want to believe that there is a God, or that Jesus was a real person, and Christianity is real is they dont want to worship a good God, they want to keep sinning, they hate the idea of leaving there life, and finnally they dont want to think there is a hell.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities” - Voltaire. Don’t murder any babies ‘on faith’ today just because some member of a death cult claims that God said so. "This is what the Lord Almighty says...put to death men and women, children and infants." (1 Samuel 15:2-3). So you’d murder your neighbor’s entire family, including his infant, if some man claimed that Jesus appeared to him and said you should? If it says so in a book with a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, written by anonymous, biased members of a death cult, then it MUST be a reliable source?!! *SUCKER* - “a person who believes everything they are told and is therefore easy to deceive” - Cambridge Dictionary

This is the stuff that causes people to leave religion.
There is no place for this type ideology in the modern day.
Enjoy following a religion that promotes pedo beleifs. Disgusting.
Even if you could call the Torah/bible/Quran evidence, it’s poor. For example, if the bible is egregiously faulty then the main character’s existence is likely fantasy. If the existence of Yahweh/Allah is a fiction (Muslims believe in the first five books of the Old Testament) then the god man/prophet Jesus cannot stand, nor any Abrahamic Prophet, such as Muhammad. Faith based on the contents of the bible/Quran is worthless for the following reasons…
Of the Canaanite gods. El was the top god (sort of Roman Saturn) Ba’al (Jupiter) was next, then down the line was the war god Yahweh (Mars). The Jews nicked him and made him the creator. All nonsense.
The first line of the bible is clearly incorrect. The Earth was formed at least 9.8 billion years after the heavens. How did the creator get that wrong? And, the rest of the creation is wrong. It’s as if an ancient ignorant tribe wrote it all by themselves, no god to help.
There are no waters above the firmament. Heaven isn’t up there either, we’ve been there. The tribes of the Middle East wouldn’t have known oceans would be frozen but for the heat of the sun. Yet, in the biblical account, water filled the oceans and outer space, all with no sun. The light that made up the day was created before the sun. The ancients had no concept it was the sun that caused day and night onto a rotating Earth. The moon isn’t a light. It’s fiction by an ignorant tribe with no access to a god creator.
Adam was made from dirt by magic and he, this god, forgot about Eve, an afterthought. so not an all knowing and wise god then?
Snakes and donkeys talk, nonsense fiction, right up there with Harry Potter, though JK Rowling was clearly a better writer with fewer continuity errors.
This god set up Eve by placing this magic apple within her reach, before she knew right from wrong. Then punished humanity thereafter. What a vicious god, if not a fictional one.
Nonsense fiction, by an ignorant ancient people writing about their mythology, their nation’s origins, steeped in the mists of the past, just the same as the Greek, Persian and Babylonian cultures write about their make believe gods who were equally fervently worshipped. Inanna, the dying and rising goddess was such an example. But many more dying and rising gods in the lexicon of ancient myths. Virgin births were pretty common too.
Adam and Eve’s children (as Eve was a clone of Adam) and grandchildren (as Cain, Able and Seth only had Eve to produce offspring or with their unknown sisters) could only have been produced by incest, then double incest, according to the biblical account. But, as Eve was a clone of Adam, there would be no genetic diversity. Such a lack of diversity would have meant the death of the human species, ask the Hapsburgs. But then, their god wouldn’t have known about genetics? Of course not.
The Exodus apparently didn’t happen according to all evidence, acknowledged by the Jewish archaeologists who have tried to find it. The Egyptians never wrote of their army being swallowed by the sea. Mosses may never existed.
There is a massive amount of genocide in the bible by a god who failed to get the locals to behave. Genocide because the Israelites needed a land to make home. If a creator of the universe and humans could have just thought a new land, a new island, south of Cyprus, it would have appeared. Easy for a god, not so for an ancient tribe to pull off? Then, this god could have told these others how to behave and punished individuals, if that’s what was needed. But no, he went straight to mass murder. What?
And, the greatest god in the universe was defeated by iron chariots: Judges1:19. That is so ridiculous, such a puny god. Or, is it because the story was a creation of a tribe that had no concept of future technologies or tactics to defeat these new Iron Age chariots? I’m sure that a human Napoleon type tactician could have done better than the all wise, all powerful fictitious creator god.
Genesis 19 tells us of Lot being raped by this daughters. And yet this god is moral? He could have changed the course of their predicament, found him a younger wife or servant to sleep with, if a god. More incest.
Abrahamic religion is a blood sacrifice barbaric religion.
The books that were supposedly written by Mosses consist of a linguistic style that didn’t exist at the time of his “life”. It’s a fictitious narrative, written by the Jews to give their new nation an historical legitimacy, and unify them, in the midst of other powerful cultures in the Middle East. Didn’t help much though, they were constantly being invaded and subjugated by more powerful “gods” of other warring nations. Even Yahweh acknowledged there were other gods.
Remember the Ten Commandments tablets that were conveniently broken and then without fuss, lost. An all powerful creator of the universe who missed the opportunity to create the tablets out of an advanced technology, Titanium or, something really exotic perhaps? Is that because the Jews didn’t know about such a thing with no understanding of the future? The forging and preservation of such a technology would have cemented the truth of their god. Broken conveniently disappeared stone tablets: clearly, no god involved.
Noah and his flood occurred when the Egyptians where going about their cultural and religious practices that continued afterwards; and, their religion was not replaced by the flood family’s immediate ancestors, fanning out from the ark. The Pharaohs and their gods continued unabated. No Yahweh? More incest?
The Chinese culture and writing developed along a continuum and they too were never taken the religion of Yahweh from the Middle East, by Noah’s relatives.
And, the ancient Britons and Australians failed to notice they were meant to be dead.
The New Testament, if it is read, critically, is inconsistent and evolves over time.
Indeed, the gospels were not written for decades after the death of this Jesus, whose birth and death are still questionable and no date can be asserted with clarity.
There’s no evidence that all the first born were killed either in Egypt nor by Herod. I think the Egyptians would have recorded such a calamity and the calamities of the plagues, but nothing. Was it all made up?
There is real historical evidence of John the Baptist, but not of the greater Jesus. There is historical evidence of Apollonius of Tyana, who allegedly ascended to heaven, similar to Jesus, but there is no extra biblical evidence of Jesus during his lifetime. There is an historical record of Jesus Ben Pandera but, no Jesus the Galilean outside of the bible. Nothing. There’s Jesus ben Ananias, a rude peasant, who went around Jerusalem in 66CE prophesying its fall in 70CE; he’s recorded in documents outside the bible, but not the biblical Jesus. His alleged disciples never wrote anything they were uneducated peasants. Contemporaries never recorded his miracles nor his troublesome nature. The bible account says he was widely known and a divisive figure that the Romans never recorded. Neither did the Jews.
And, the crucified were left to rot on the cross/pole on which they were hung as a warning to insurrectionists? No empty tomb, it’s a fiction to turn a myth into a “fact”. To turn a dead man or a fictional man into god.
Pilate was, in real history, recorded history, a truly nasty contemptuous man, he would never have allowed the process of crucifixion as a warning to have been undermined. And, the alleged trial is a tale of the blood cult of scapegoating. Even Barabbus was a literary device representing scapegoating, suggesting it never occurred. Barabbus means, son of the teacher, or son of the father. The gospel writers where representing the two characters as essentially the same, one became the goat sacrifice. And, the twist was that the Jews shouted to let the murderer go, allowing the blame for Jesus’s death to be placed on the Jews and not the imperial Romans. It was very much a political narrative because the Jews and Romans where essentially at war, the destruction of the Temple in 70AD/CE, and this new sect/cult needed to distinguish themselves from the Jewish troublemakers, and the ongoing violence of the time.
Paul never knew Jesus and only depicted him as a spiritual vision. He knew nothing of the man and nothing of his life or his teachings. More evidence that the Chrestos (anointed) was mythical?
The first time the gospels were mentioned was in 180AD/CE by Irenaeus. Indeed, a very prominent Christian, Theophilus, said that he came to believe in Jesus from reading the Jewish Scriptures or, Torah. No mention of the gospels, no quoting of anything Jesus allegedly said. Best date for the gospels is circa, 170-182AD/CE. The myth of the god man Jesus was created over many years. Mark was first written, not until at least 70AD/CE, say Christian scholars but, as above, likely much later.
No record of the star of Bethlehem, of the graves emptying, or the sky darkening. It’s fiction. No Mosses, Abraham, No Noah, no Flood. As for flying horses in the Quran, that’s straight out of Greek mythology, and no one should believe in such nonsense today.

Doesn't it have to be "proven"? The thumbnail says "proved" and I'm confused
The bible has been debunked as fiction by science, archaeology and biblical scholarship, but you can prove that it’s false yourself with a simple experiment. First, the bible claims that Jesus appeared to people after his supposed death (1 Cor. 15:3-8), including the claim that he appeared to 500 people at once, and appeared to Paul. So Jesus supposedly proved his resurrection by appearing to people, showing that it was necessary to appear to people in order to provide EVIDENCE that he was really resurrected. Further, the gospel stories claim: "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer" (Matt. 21:22). “Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23), "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24). So go ahead and set up your video camera and pray for Jesus to appear to you right now! If my atheism is correct, nothing will happen. But feel free to prove it to yourself that Jesus is imaginary.
1) If Jesus is real, and is a god, he COULD appear to you, or to anyone.
2) He supposedly appeared to others in ancient stories that we have no evidence for.
3) Jesus supposedly promised to appear in response to prayers.
4) FACT: Regardless how much you pray or ask...he won't appear.
The most likely explanation for the above? Jesus won’t appear because he CAN’T. Fictional literary characters can't hear prayers or do anything in real life. Praying to Jesus is no different than praying to Spider-Man or Gandalf.
Feel free to list your excuses for why Jesus doesn't appear. I'll play 'logical fallacy bingo' with your responses.
Also, why am I accurately able to predict the outcome in advance? “The predictive power of a scientific theory refers to its ability to generate testable predictions.” By the way, liars like to say, “Do not put my lies to the test,” but those telling the truth don’t mind if you validate their claims. Right?
but it IS proven... see... it's written in this book.
Incidentally, you owe me $1,000,000.00. I have an IOU written out here with your name on it. Be careful though, the ink may still be wet.
@@Raven.flight Nice! Can Christians do anything to defend their debunked ancient mythology other than cite "Magic book says so", or "Some member of my cult claimed that these stories are true"? None of that is EVIDENCE that the stories are true. Muslims believe the Quran, Mormons believe the Book of Mormon, Hindus believe the Bhagavad Gita, etc. They all say the same thing. Why don't they just admit that they believe absurd claims on faith because of pure wishful thinking? Then people would have no argument.
praise the only true living LORD and GOD bless you all glory be to the HOLY TRINITY forever and ever amen 💖✝️✝️✝️
Your posts prove that prayer to your imaginary god is no different than praying to any other imaginary god. The gospel fairy tales claim: "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer" (Matt. 21:22), “Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23), "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24). Clearly, those claims are false, or you’d be able to post a video demonstrating your magic Jeebus prayer superpowers. Go ahead and pray for Jesus to appear to you on video, and then post it to UA-cam! My prediction: you won’t, because you know *NOTHING WILL HAPPEN* , because praying to imaginary gods doesn’t work. All you can do to defend your ridiculous ancient cult and book of debunked mythology is to repeat "Magic book says so" (fallacy of circular reasoning), or "Some member of my cult claimed that these stories are true" (fallacy of anonymous authority), none of which is EVIDENCE that the stories are true. You have *NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER* that a god exists, let alone that he impregnated some guy’s mother 2,000 years ago. How would you know? Because “Magic book says so”? Or because “Some member of my cult claimed that Jesus’ mother was impregnated by a god”? And how would they know? Did they witness this happening? LOL!

@@mythbuster1483 Actually SOME people have had this experience, yet atheists call them deluded because they can't accept any possibility that something exists beyond the physical realm. They say they are open-minded, but they refuse to believe any common sense unless they see it themselves.
This is a good argument based on several known and undisputed facts. Add them together and the conclusion is clear. It's also true that the disbelief in this is based on personal preference, not facts.
@Zeke Bean A statement can be just a relaying of one or more facts. Then the statement is if accurately stated, a pointer to the fact/s and can be taken as a true - accurately representing the fact or facts referred to. Much like a variable in programming languages.
@Zeke Bean Give me an example from this video.
@Zeke Bean Yes, normally resurrection doesn't happen. Nobody claimed it was part of a normal happening. It was a miracle. Now you will say miracles don't happen. I know that very infrequently (even less frequently than that) histologically confirmed malignancies just disappear. The guess is that it has something to do with the immune system. But nobody knows.
This book researched miracles. www.amazon.com/Miracles-Credibility-New-Testament-Accounts/dp/0801039525 Many examples from different countries are cited.
Also, many people who were present believed Jesus woke from the dead. But no, you, 2,000 years later and continents away know better. Does that make sense? Do you have an understanding of modern medicine? Did you go to medical school? How is an understanding of modern medicine necessary to see that someone who was dead is now alive? Jesus was not moribund, as he would have been from fainting and coming to after gross torture when he appeared. By all accounts, he was hale and hearty. And these people didn't perpetrate a fraud, they died for what they claimed.
If the evidence is presented in a fair court it would be accepted.
Let me guess. You are an atheist, Jew or Muslim.
Zeke Bean Hello, Zeke. I just want to address one thing you said. That there would be traffic jams every Sunday. There should be, you’re right. Human beings are highly flawed whether your Christian or not. The thing non believers expect is for us to live what we preach and unfortunately we fall short. We aren’t always the best es amp,e of a Christ centered life. But, please understand that are flawed behavior isn’t nor should it point to the non existence of God or the truth of the resurrection. I have thought a great deal over these issues and even read atheistic accounts. The fact by my view is this: If you believe that there is no way that all of this was made by accident, then that means it was created by a being greater than us. Accident or designed? I know there is a great deal of things that the Bible writes about that seems impossible. Sure you can find some flaws here and there, possibly, but the big picture remains not changed and to me unswervingly true. Let me give you an example. I graduated over three decades ago, but I can’t remember where I ate dinner, what I wore afterwords or which of two towns was the after party. But, the big picture was I graduated. Atheists start picking a part small details that might be off or, heck for all we know mistranslated. But, the big picture remains unchanged. The views of the writers may differ, but the story is the same. But, it’s a private journey that you take. You are going to have to take the facts (strongly urge you to read the Bible as fact, while you do it) and see where it leads you. By the way, I have heard atheists tell me, ‘I’ve read the Bible and it’s a fairy tale’ Most of those folks, however already have their mind made up, they aren’t open to the possibility. Anyway, just a thought for your consideration. Have a great day!
War Peace Hello, great questions and I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer them, but I will try. First of all do you plan on having kids? If so, do you expect they will always be obedient to you? If not, do you plan to lock ‘em up so you can control their actions if not their thoughts? To me that is the closest I can come to understanding God’s choice. He wants a relationship with all, but he knows we will sin because it’s our nature. He sent his son as a perfect sacrifice for this deficiency we all have. But, we can choose to ignore him and his gift. If your sone told you he hated you, ignored you, disowned you and refused to acknowledge his relationship with you, would you still give him his full inheritance? Or would you, heartbroken choose to allow him to be separate from you and give his inheritance to something more deserving? That’s what Hell is....separation from God. The inheritance is eternal life in heaven. Hope that at least gave you a different point of view. Have a great day!
I would cry if I ever had to debate him. Luckily I agree with him. Ha
I’m sorry that you’re so deceived. The devil has you fooled. Hopefully you’ll come to salvation before Jesus comes back.
Yours is a heart issue, my friend.

It's not meant to be taken as a literal scientific account of the world, and the days aren't even meant to be actual days. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are some of the most accredited historical events that have ever taken place and few scholars who have done their homework doubt them. Lastly, the atheist creation story is "In the beginning, there was a bunch of mud. This turned into living nanotechnology for no reason. This nanotechnology then built animals. Don't ask us how, we don't know. The animals just kinda pop into being in the fossil record, but shhh don't tell anyone. Oh, and try not to think about how precisely all the natural laws have to be tuned to even get the smallest functional cell."
@@yougonlearntoday2972 🤦🏽♂️Atheist Logic 101: Watches a Christian video to argue and insult Christians about a God that he claims doesn't exist. Spends countless hours responding to Christians about a being that doesn't exist. Emotes and combs through comments wasting a considerable amount of energy raging against "sky daddy", the "spaghetti monster", or "imaginary man" racks up 10000000 plus hours, hundreds of insults, and post more than Christians on a CHRISTIAN video about a being that doesn't exist.
Everytime you respond, emote, comment, hit enter, space and type more non sense, you show through your own actions that you DON'T believe God DOESN'T exist. You're trying your hardest to convince yourself. Christians won the "debate" as soon as you hit enter to post your ridiculous post. What's truly sad, is that your own actions will be an indicment against you when you stand before Christ. Your stubbornness has you so blinded. When you respond to this, just know as SOON as you do that or respond to anything or anyone in this video, we won. We won 2000 yrs ago when Christ said it's finished, we won in the Garden when God knew the serpant's head would be crushed, we won. You are just too blinded by hate to see it. As soon as you respond, you're showing you are willfully not believing. Happy trolling.

@Nancy I can grant that Jesus existed historically. Not a problem. The difference is that Abraham Lincoln didn't claim he raised people from the dead, or split oceans in two, or that he turned people into pillars of salt. Can you see the difference?

Christ’s resurrection from the dead is well established from a historical viewpoint and is the best attested event in all of antiquity.
LOL! All Christian defenses are variations of two logical fallacies: 1) "Magic book says so" (fallacy of circular reasoning), or 2) "Some member of my cult claimed that these stories are true" (fallacy of anonymous authority), none of which is EVIDENCE that the stories are true. You have *NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER* that a god exists, let alone that he impregnated some guy’s mother 2,000 years ago. How would you know? Because “Magic book says so”? Or because “Some member of my cult claimed that Jesus’ mother was impregnated by a god”? And how would they know? Did they witness this happening? LOL!
Outstanding point about Near Death Experiences. It is the proof that many secularists so earnestly claim they want, but they usually reject it.

I was a Christian. I was confirmed. I went to church several times a week. I researched Christianity and tried to find out everything I could. The knowledge and information I gained let me see through my faith.
The vast majority of near death experiences involve reuniting with deceased relatives.
Does that mean that it really happens?
I think most near death experiences are hallucinations. Even people claiming to have learnt things they couldn't possibly have known can be explained. The subconscious mind knows things that your conscious mind doesn't. And I say this as a Christian. I believe only three people in history have ever seen/visited heaven during their earthly lives: the Prophet Isaiah, the Apostle Paul, and the Apostle John.

Haha. All hearsay nonsense. You think you could convict someone on this kind of evidence?
@@chriswinchell1570 You do realize that every lab result that's published is just eyewitness testimony? If you're being consistent, you're gonna have to look into the microscopes and check the test tubes of the scientists you *trust* before you believe them. And if you wanna say "oh, well it's corroborated by other scientists when they publish it. It's called peer review." Sure, but you're only pushing the problem one step back. You're still gonna have to trust the peer reviewers by faith, until you yourself see the stuff from which they made their conclusions.
And that's exactly the same kind of evidence we have for the events surrounding Jesus Christ. Multiple independent testimonies. Resulting from empirical experiences. From events that actually happened. Peer-reviewed, too.
@@juilianbautista4067 You do not understand how science is done as compared to what you guys think as evidence. Essentially you have the same quality of evidence as that attesting to UFOs and aliens.
Peer review tries to ensure that the scientific method was followed for a particular experiment. I.e., that it is well reasoned, documented, researched in so far as previous research on the same subject, and that the math/statistics, etc. are done properly. This is not sufficient but it is necessary for the results to be considered trustworthy. The next step is that the experiment is repeatable and that any theory makes predictions and is falsifiable. For example, the original research regarding cold fusion was published but the results were never repeatedly reproduced.
The eye witness testimony Christians point to is on par with the testimony of people seeing ghosts, the Loch Ness monster, or Bigfoot.
That's indeed how indoctrination works.
@@juilianbautista4067 Absurd claims by anonymous, biased cult members in manuscripts dated hundreds of years after the supposed events (which are filled with proven fiction, forgery and fraud) are not credible evidence that the stories are true. Logical fallacies you're making: argument from anonymous authority and circular reasoning fallacy. 'Some guy said so' is not evidence that what he claims is true.

Numbers 31:17-18
King James Version
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Dr. Arthur J. Bellinzoni, Professor of Religion Emeritus at Wells College: "The four canonical gospels are actually all anonymous writings. Their ascription to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John probably came much later than at the time of their original composition, likely as the result of a conscious effort on the part of some within the Christian community to assign to these books apostolic authority at a time when their actual authorship was unknown or had been forgotten."- The New Testament: An Introduction to Biblical Scholarship, pg 23
So you're quoting from a book written 2000 years later to disprove a book. Got it.

In this case, I'm not attempting to convince anyone of anything, but rather regurgitating something clearly stated in scripture. I didn't make it a quote because I didn't see that it was necessary.

I can prove that you don’t really believe your book of debunked ancient mythology. "And these signs will accompany those who believe...when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all" (Mark 16:17-18). Go ahead! Post a video showing you drinking gasoline out of a pump.
Gary Habermas is the man!!
A man who sells lies to gullible fanatics.
Even if you could call the Torah/bible/Quran evidence, it’s poor. For example, if the bible is egregiously faulty then the main character’s existence is likely fantasy. If the existence of Yahweh/Allah is a fiction (Muslims believe in the first five books of the Old Testament) then the god man/prophet Jesus cannot stand, nor any Abrahamic Prophet, such as Muhammad. Faith based on the contents of the bible/Quran is worthless for the following reasons…
Of the Canaanite gods. El was the top god (sort of Roman Saturn) Ba’al (Jupiter) was next, then down the line was the war god Yahweh (Mars). The Jews nicked him and made him the creator. All nonsense.
The first line of the bible is clearly incorrect. The Earth was formed at least 9.8 billion years after the heavens. How did the creator get that wrong? And, the rest of the creation is wrong. It’s as if an ancient ignorant tribe wrote it all by themselves, no god to help.
There are no waters above the firmament. Heaven isn’t up there either, we’ve been there. The tribes of the Middle East wouldn’t have known oceans would be frozen but for the heat of the sun. Yet, in the biblical account, water filled the oceans and outer space, all with no sun. The light that made up the day was created before the sun. The ancients had no concept it was the sun that caused day and night onto a rotating Earth. The moon isn’t a light. It’s fiction by an ignorant tribe with no access to a god creator.
Adam was made from dirt by magic and he, this god, forgot about Eve, an afterthought. so not an all knowing and wise god then?
Snakes and donkeys talk, nonsense fiction, right up there with Harry Potter, though JK Rowling was clearly a better writer with fewer continuity errors.
This god set up Eve by placing this magic apple within her reach, before she knew right from wrong. Then punished humanity thereafter. What a vicious god, if not a fictional one.
Nonsense fiction, by an ignorant ancient people writing about their mythology, their nation’s origins, steeped in the mists of the past, just the same as the Greek, Persian and Babylonian cultures write about their make believe gods who were equally fervently worshipped. Inanna, the dying and rising goddess was such an example. But many more dying and rising gods in the lexicon of ancient myths. Virgin births were pretty common too.
Adam and Eve’s children (as Eve was a clone of Adam) and grandchildren (as Cain, Able and Seth only had Eve to produce offspring or with their unknown sisters) could only have been produced by incest, then double incest, according to the biblical account. But, as Eve was a clone of Adam, there would be no genetic diversity. Such a lack of diversity would have meant the death of the human species, ask the Hapsburgs. But then, their god wouldn’t have known about genetics? Of course not.
The Exodus apparently didn’t happen according to all evidence, acknowledged by the Jewish archaeologists who have tried to find it. The Egyptians never wrote of their army being swallowed by the sea. Mosses may never existed.
There is a massive amount of genocide in the bible by a god who failed to get the locals to behave. Genocide because the Israelites needed a land to make home. If a creator of the universe and humans could have just thought a new land, a new island, south of Cyprus, it would have appeared. Easy for a god, not so for an ancient tribe to pull off? Then, this god could have told these others how to behave and punished individuals, if that’s what was needed. But no, he went straight to mass murder. What?
And, the greatest god in the universe was defeated by iron chariots: Judges1:19. That is so ridiculous, such a puny god. Or, is it because the story was a creation of a tribe that had no concept of future technologies or tactics to defeat these new Iron Age chariots? I’m sure that a human Napoleon type tactician could have done better than the all wise, all powerful fictitious creator god.
Genesis 19 tells us of Lot being raped by this daughters. And yet this god is moral? He could have changed the course of their predicament, found him a younger wife or servant to sleep with, if a god. More incest.
Abrahamic religion is a blood sacrifice barbaric religion.
The books that were supposedly written by Mosses consist of a linguistic style that didn’t exist at the time of his “life”. It’s a fictitious narrative, written by the Jews to give their new nation an historical legitimacy, and unify them, in the midst of other powerful cultures in the Middle East. Didn’t help much though, they were constantly being invaded and subjugated by more powerful “gods” of other warring nations. Even Yahweh acknowledged there were other gods.
Remember the Ten Commandments tablets that were conveniently broken and then without fuss, lost. An all powerful creator of the universe who missed the opportunity to create the tablets out of an advanced technology, Titanium or, something really exotic perhaps? Is that because the Jews didn’t know about such a thing with no understanding of the future? The forging and preservation of such a technology would have cemented the truth of their god. Broken conveniently disappeared stone tablets: clearly, no god involved.
Noah and his flood occurred when the Egyptians where going about their cultural and religious practices that continued afterwards; and, their religion was not replaced by the flood family’s immediate ancestors, fanning out from the ark. The Pharaohs and their gods continued unabated. No Yahweh? More incest?
The Chinese culture and writing developed along a continuum and they too were never taken the religion of Yahweh from the Middle East, by Noah’s relatives.
And, the ancient Britons and Australians failed to notice they were meant to be dead.
The New Testament, if it is read, critically, is inconsistent and evolves over time.
Indeed, the gospels were not written for decades after the death of this Jesus, whose birth and death are still questionable and no date can be asserted with clarity.
There’s no evidence that all the first born were killed either in Egypt nor by Herod. I think the Egyptians would have recorded such a calamity and the calamities of the plagues, but nothing. Was it all made up?
There is real historical evidence of John the Baptist, but not of the greater Jesus. There is historical evidence of Apollonius of Tyana, who allegedly ascended to heaven, similar to Jesus, but there is no extra biblical evidence of Jesus during his lifetime. There is an historical record of Jesus Ben Pandera but, no Jesus the Galilean outside of the bible. Nothing. There’s Jesus ben Ananias, a rude peasant, who went around Jerusalem in 66CE prophesying its fall in 70CE; he’s recorded in documents outside the bible, but not the biblical Jesus. His alleged disciples never wrote anything they were uneducated peasants. Contemporaries never recorded his miracles nor his troublesome nature. The bible account says he was widely known and a divisive figure that the Romans never recorded. Neither did the Jews.
And, the crucified were left to rot on the cross/pole on which they were hung as a warning to insurrectionists? No empty tomb, it’s a fiction to turn a myth into a “fact”. To turn a dead man or a fictional man into god.
Pilate was, in real history, recorded history, a truly nasty contemptuous man, he would never have allowed the process of crucifixion as a warning to have been undermined. And, the alleged trial is a tale of the blood cult of scapegoating. Even Barabbus was a literary device representing scapegoating, suggesting it never occurred. Barabbus means, son of the teacher, or son of the father. The gospel writers where representing the two characters as essentially the same, one became the goat sacrifice. And, the twist was that the Jews shouted to let the murderer go, allowing the blame for Jesus’s death to be placed on the Jews and not the imperial Romans. It was very much a political narrative because the Jews and Romans where essentially at war, the destruction of the Temple in 70AD/CE, and this new sect/cult needed to distinguish themselves from the Jewish troublemakers, and the ongoing violence of the time.
Paul never knew Jesus and only depicted him as a spiritual vision. He knew nothing of the man and nothing of his life or his teachings. More evidence that the Chrestos (anointed) was mythical?
The first time the gospels were mentioned was in 180AD/CE by Irenaeus. Indeed, a very prominent Christian, Theophilus, said that he came to believe in Jesus from reading the Jewish Scriptures or, Torah. No mention of the gospels, no quoting of anything Jesus allegedly said. Best date for the gospels is circa, 170-182AD/CE. The myth of the god man Jesus was created over many years. Mark was first written, not until at least 70AD/CE, say Christian scholars but, as above, likely much later.
No record of the star of Bethlehem, of the graves emptying, or the sky darkening. It’s fiction. No Mosses, Abraham, No Noah, no Flood. As for flying horses in the Quran, that’s straight out of Greek mythology, and no one should believe in such nonsense today.

You are not wrong my friend, study and gain faith.
@@veridicusmaximus6010 Hi hopefully you read this. I remember the fears I had of death. There were many question marks and believing that there was no way to truly know. However, I saw that the 10 commandments are God's law. As most people know, we all have broken them. I realized at a time, that I had lied, which made me a liar. I had stolen, which made me a thief. I had blasphemed God's name and used it as a curse word. The God who gave me life and created my DNA, I disrespected immensely with blasphemy. I thought I hadn't committed adultery. But Jesus said that even looking with lust is adultery with the heart in Jesus eyes. So wow, I was also an adulterer. I realized, if God judged me by the 10 commandments, I would be guilty. What about you? Have you broken God's law too? I thought since I was a supposedly "good person" I would go to heaven. But the bible says, "Most men will proclaim each his own goodness" meaning we all can defend our goodness. "I'm not as bad as that person! Well look at hitler! I give homeless people money"!But see, that wouldn't work in a court of law. If a man committed a crime like lets say, robbed a bank. And tells the judge "Judge, yes I'm guilty, but I'm a good person. I help my family, I donate to charity, and I'll do better!" If the judge is a good judge, would he let the criminal go? No. He would say "I'm judging your crime not your good works. And of course you should do those things and of course you should be better. You're going to jail!" Well God is a perfect judge. He is just and the only righteous and holy being. He also not only knows our crimes, but our thoughts and hearts. So I would be guilty and deserve hell. But, God is also merciful and loving. So He made a way for us to not go to hell. You probably know what it is: He sent His only begotten son to die on the cross. But you may not know this: The 10 commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke the law, Jesus paid our fine. That's what happened on the cross. That's why before He died, he cried out "it is finished!" Meaning the debt had been paid. And He died then rose again and defeated death and what you have to do is repent and trust in Jesus like a parachute. Most of us are like a person standing at the edge of a plane and we know we have to jump. And this is our plan: we'll flap our arms and save ourselves. I'd tell that person "don't do that! Trust the parachute!" You not only need to acknowledge Jesus, but put Him on like a parachute. And repent means to turn from our sins meaning have a change of heart. Realize that God is right and you're wrong and you cannot save yourself. Be humble and ask for His mercy. Once you truly repent and trust Jesus, God says he'll grant you everlasting life and He cannot lie. He is without sin. And He will also give you a brand new heart that desires righteousness because of your faith. So, when are you gonna do that?
@@julietorres7298 Please stop paying attention to Ray Comfort. I have been down this road. You need to read more and think more deeply. Expand your perspective and try to think for yourself.
What lots of people (even pastors) don't (yet) understand.
God created us according to His own image and likeness. Godly.
Mankind/the first Adam fell. The image of God in man got lost. That's why there is all this predicament on earth (selfishness, greed, lust, wars, sicknesses, death, etc).
We are all born into that mess.
For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ.
With His own once and for all perefect sacrifice, He paid the debt for the fall of man for us, so we can be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man. An amazing act of grace and love by our creator.
That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all and walked in unselfish love.
And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding, power and transform us back to origin.
Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come.
So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand.
Hence the divine healing miracles we experience.
God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam.
Christ, the exact image of the invisible God.
The image we were created after in Gen 1.
The image we lost in the fall of man.
The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us.
What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing.
It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle.
He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love.
Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh.
For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth.
He said:
"Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc.
I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name".
Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!!
So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ.
Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit.
You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator.
You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace.
A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam.
Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever.
Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote:
"As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again".
"IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)"
"The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power".
So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing!
In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote:
"By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man".
The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!!
Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness.
He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind".
"I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."

lol I love this guy!
The way the apostles acted before and during the crucifixion was quite different then their attitudes and actions after Resurrection Sunday. Men who were in hiding and denying their association with Yeshua began to travel, preach and in the end welcomed myrtarism with enthusiastic joy! O' Death where is thy sting? "I am the way, the truth and light! Anyone who believeth in me even though they are dead so shall they live!" "Blessed are those who see and believe. How much more blessed are those who have never seen yet still believe!"

Numbers 31:17-18
King James Version
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
ok where's the argument? did I miss something?
4chan ads sent me here
Look at the following of Christ,2020 years later , story hasn't altered
@Cody Johnson Catholic isn't Christianity
Really ? not heard of the sects of christianity, not heard of the multiple translations ? Not heard of the Catholics, protestants, Baptists, Southern Baptists, Pentacostals etc etc
You still burn heretics?
You're either an ignorant or a liar.
@@gowdsake7103 they all have the same message. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary by the spirit, died and Rose again meaning we are truly free in christ
What??!!! Let me get this straight
•”Jesus was crucified”...ok that doesn’t mean he resurrected...next
•”his disciples believed they seen a resurrected Jesus”..,doesn’t mean he resurrected...next
•”because of that belief, it’s turned the world upside down”....doesn’t mean he resurrected...next
•”they were willing to die for their belief”...still doesn’t mean it was true or he resurrected...next
•”it was proclaimed early”...really? Definitely doesn’t mean he resurrected...next
•”James believed it”...ok
•”Paul believed it”...ok who cares who believed it? Ok 909 people committed suicide because they followed the lead of Jim Jones, someone they believed to be god or communicating with god.
This is really really poor evidence, basically amounting to, it was written a long time ago, people died for it and a lot of people believed it, so it is valid evidence to support the claim....no
Jesus is God “it’s true regardless” enough said...I didn’t think I needed help proving my points here but...thank you
pale rider revelation 8 v 6 no...
Fly Guy: No one dies for a known lie. I have never seen you but based on the evidence of fly guy writings it would be reasonable to say you exist. 2 or 3 witness testimony in a court of law is valid for evidence. Luke a doctor 1:Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. Many, fulfilled, eyewitnesses, investigated, orderly, certainty. It is reasonable to believe. Mickey Robinson was not a Christian: ua-cam.com/video/dBdQyjPh4AM/v-deo.html I was not a Christian and Jesus drew me and changed me. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Death is our wage payment for breaking the 10 commandments. Eternal life is a gift. Take the gift like I did. Faith is the transport to God's presence. I hope this helps.
pale rider revelation 8 v 6 why would I trust the Bible? I can’t even agree on when Jesus was born...
Cliff Bailey it wouldn’t matter that you can prove I exists from my writings...proving I exist doesn’t demonstrate what I wrote is actually truthful.
Additionally, I’m not saying they died for a known lie...I don’t doubt they believed it, just as the 9/11 terrorists believed they were going to heaven for what they did...
Absolutely ridiculous. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The resurrection is made up beyond a shadow of a doubt just like all other resurrection myths.
@MarsLand
It's possible. Just so unlikely we can be sure it didn't happen.
Dr. Rafael Lataster: “With his first premise concerning certain undisputed facts, such as that Jesus’ tomb was found empty, I noted how many scholars dispute them, and exposed the fallacious methods used in unearthing these [supposed]1 facts. The unreliability of the sources - which bizarrely included sources that are not extant, i.e., hypothetical sources - was then explained, which resulted in questions over whether even a more mundane ‘Historical Jesus’ had existed…Content to charitably accept Jesus’ historicity, I then effectively constructed an argument against miracles…This was achieved by appealing to historical frequencies and contemporary observations on natural laws, so that miraculous claims could be analysed probabilistically. In this way, Christians can reasonably refute the miraculous claims of competing traditions, but must also accept the damning implications concerning their own. Finding Craig’s hypothesis that Jesus was raised from death to be extremely improbable even given supernaturalism, I also noted other problems, such as that there is no necessary causal relationship with the God of theism, and the fact that the resurrection does not entail Christian exclusivism.” - The Case Against Theism.
ok, check out this argument I heard somewhere about the authenticity of the Gospels: The Gospels may to some degree look like fairytales because of all the miraculous things that happen in them, but they do the one thing that no fairytale would ever do: they specify the place and time where the action took place. All the great fairytales begin with "once upon a time in a far away land" as you can see they have no interest in specifying the time or place of the action, because it would be somewhat repugnant if they did that. Imagine if I told you a fairytale that took place in your home town when your parents were kids... do you think my fairytale would catch on? No, because fairytales that pretend to be historical (and so close to the life and times of the first readers!!!!) are repugnant. But the Gospel, even though its contents seem quite fantastic, and even though it tells you where and when it all happened, still, it has made it to our days, partly because it passed the "first readers test"... the first readers took them as accounts of things that they themselves could verify in other ways.
@@MoNtYbOy101 you don't
@@MoNtYbOy101 so you're telling me that all the experts that say who wrote the gospels are all wrong? And you're the only one that's correct? I don't claim to know but I can go off the evidence and make an educated guess. Did you not go to school and listen to an expert to teach you something? How do you know they were telling you the truth?
@@MoNtYbOy101 well then until there's evidence of otherwise then we have to go with what the consensus is. I mean cuz that's how a majority of people think nowadays anyways that science is done with consensus when it really isn't. Or that science is somehow at odds with God or the Bible when science is just the observation of reality and explains how it works but doesn't tell you how it got here
@@MoNtYbOy101 fair enough

Now what do these two things have in common?
What are the examples of the exact extrabiblical sources? It would be interesting to know the specifics.
Josephus, Tacitus, polycarp
YES, THIS!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Specifics coming up.
Greek, Hebrew and Roman.
From extra-biblical sources alone, Jesus had a brother called James (Josephus), and was located in Palestine (Tacitus, Lucian, Acts of Pilate). Jesus was known to be a wise, virtuous and ethical man (Josephus, Mara Serapion) who was reported to have both performed miracles (Acts of Pilate) and made prophecies that were fulfilled (Phlegon, cf. Josephus). A result of his ministry was that he had many disciples, from both the Jews and the Gentiles (Josephus, Talmud). At the beginning of his ministry he encountered a man called John the Baptist of whom baptized him (Josephus).
Jesus was worshiped as a deity (Pliny, Lucian), and some believed he was the Messiah (Josephus) and called him “king” (Mara Serapion). Some people saw Jesus as a philosopher with unique teachings (Lucian, Mara Serapion, Gospel of Thomas). The Jewish leaders judged Jesus as guilty of apostasy (Talmud, cf. Apocryphon of John), and no-one came forward to support Jesus in his trial (Talmud).
He died at the hands of Pontius Pilate (Tacitus) who crucified him (Josephus, Talmud, Lucian, Gospel of Truth, Acts of Pilate). The event occurred on Passover Eve (Talmud), he was nailed to a cross (Phlegon, Gospel of Truth, Acts of Pilate, cf. Tacitus), and after his death the executioners gambled over his clothing (Acts of Pilate). There was a three-hour darkness at the moment of the crucifixion (Thallus, Phlegon), and an earthquake (Phlegon), all of which corroborates New Testament events.
Jesus’ teachings spread after his death (Tacitus, cf. Suetonius, Pliny), the Christian religion was named after Jesus (Tacitus), Christians formed a section of society (Pliny), and exercised faith in Jesus’ teachings (Lucian). Christians also believed in their own eternal immortality and scorned death (Lucian), and that Jesus’ death procured their salvation (Gospel of Truth).
The disciples never abandoned Jesus’ teachings even in persecution (Josephus), and many Christians were exiled from Rome for their beliefs in him (Suetonius). Many were also still present in Rome by the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD (Tacitus, Suetonius). They were also described as law breakers for meeting in secret, and were blamed for drinking blood, and burning their children (Pliny, cf. Trajan, Hadrian).
According to Habermas a few of the forged Gnostic sources are also corroborative of the New Testament literature. They relate that on one occasion that Jesus asked his disciples who they thought he was (Gospel of Thomas), that Jesus was flesh and blood (Gospel of Truth, Treatise on Resurrection), and that he had the title “Son of Man” (Gospel of Thomas). Jesus was also said to be the “Son of God” (Treatise on Resurrection, Gospel of Truth, Gospel of Thomas).
Add to that Papias, who was a Greek living in Hierapolis, AD. 60 to AD 130 AD. He wrote the Exposition of the Sayings among other things and quotes large portions of all 4 Gospels and attributes authorship to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John *by name* . Making him a living contemporary with eyewitnesses living at the time.
And I have access to Chinese records, AD 31, linked to the birth, person, and events of his death. They're accurately dated in the Chinese archives.
Ask the right questions, you get the right answers. Blessings on the Journey.
Whole heartedly unconvincing.
One study reports on a Hindu woman’s NDE, “During this period of unconsciousness she described that she was in a brilliant light in which she floated. She then went to ‘heaven’ where there were a pantheon of Gods with ‘hierarchy’. There was the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva but even they were in hierarchy ‘junior’ to ‘Om’ an apparition of light.” - Three cases of near death experience: Is it physiology, physics or philosophy? Annals of Neurosciences, 2012 Jul; 19(3): 104-106.
If we apply the same standard of evidence that this video has suggested to justify belief.. eye witness testimony.. how many other god claims/supernatural claims must we accept as true? If you aren't applying the same standard of evidence to all claims, you aren't being honest and objective.
Which claim(s) are you considering to use as an example(s)?
Jason Goeders Lol. Dr. Habermas has a Ph.D in Philosophy so he knows what he’s talking about. But surely you can top that, right?
@@skullleader9791 Isn't that the beauty of logic? It doesn't care about your credentials, when you commit a logical fallacy even a Ph.D doesn't get you off the hook. And just fyi I suggest you look up the argument from authority fallacy, as you've just committed it. I also would note that you did not refute my observation of a sliding scale for standards of evidence. Can you refute it or are logical fallacies as far as you can get?
Jason Goeders I’m not intimidated by your challenge of your refutation of observation of sliding scale for standards of evidence.. Anything can be learned given time it’s only that my forte isn’t Philosophy. You might be well-versed with the subject but your attempts are palpable at best
@@MoarRushPl0x Two that come to me off the top of my head are the miracle of Fatima and the miracles performed by Sathya Sai Baba. In Fatima, Portugal in 1917, in front of thousands of people the sun is reported to have zoomed toward the earth and then zig zagged back to it's original location. Countless people gave testimony confirming this. Are you going to suggest we believe this actually happened? Without the rest of the world noticing? Without the rest of the solar system noticing? The evidence is much stronger for the Fatima miracle then the resurrection so if you don't believe both I'm curious as to why. Sai Baba, a self proclaimed Indian god incarnate is said to have been born of a virgin, healed the sick, and even raised the dead. All while living in the 20th century. Thousands of people will attest to his miracles. He was a big deal in India. I'm going to presume you are skeptical of these claims. If so, you are inconsistent with your standards of evidence. If eye witness testimony is good enough for the resurrection it should be good enough for Sai Baba's miracles as well.
I'm still waiting for the proof. All I heard was "some people believed it, right after they claimed it happened."
Only imaginary gods need to be defended by credulous fanatics. 😉 And all Christian defenses are a bunch of logical fallacies. All Christians can do is say, "Magic book says so" (circular reasoning fallacy), or "Some member of my cult claimed that these stories are true" (fallacy of anonymous authority), which isn't EVIDENCE that the stories are true.
Wouldn’t even bother mate, believers aren’t worth our time they can’t see truth
Watch some Christopher hitchens hitchslaps , they are belting videos
There just aren’t records of Jesus from his time, that’s the biggest red flag imo.
Only Paul wrote about the 500 people..... Why?
@@mythbuster1483 this is mainly because a believer in Christ couldn't possibly make a non believer "see" in a matter of minutes. People want evidence and they don't understand that the Bible IS evidence. It's written geneology, history, narrative, poetry and documentation over a span of 7000 years in a small area we know as Israel (and surrounding cities of this time).
Athiest also don't know how to seperate THEIR disbelief from a historical documentation. Most of the time they dont know how to seperate the man from the belief. What I mean is, a man named Jesus definitely existed during Pontius Pilates time. This isn't for debate. Historians and archeologists all agree that this man walked and preached to both Jews and gentiles. What's in question is whether He was divine and from God. The New Testament are written accounts of those who were taught by Christ (Yesuah). The later letters (Corinthians, Ecclesiasties, Romans etc) were early letters directed to the early churches after Christs ressurection. These were letters that were found and collected by archeologists. They were said by Paul (who was in prison) and documented by Luke (a physician) and passed to those who claimed to be Christ followers (but were again, mistaken and had fallen to other gods and beliefs).
When one really wants to disprove Christ, I encourage them to study the Bible as any (true) Christain would. Because at the very least, you will gain wisdom, peace and a way of life that seems completely reasonable and logical. Christ was not religious. It was the religious people who killed Him. No Christain has to be married to any religion to be a Christ follower.
Our evidence IS the Bible because when you actually study the Bible, you realize it's derived by culture, history and geography - backed by thousands of years of documentation. It isn't just some book written by 1 man. It's a collection of documents (from geneology, history, experiences, poetry, testimonies, etc etc) by multiple people from Kings, peasants, tax collectors, religious head holds, nobodies, fisherman and so many more.
