      ***** That was it! Your astute observation of the inadequecy of my intellect has changed my mind regarding the fables of your favored holy book! Oh, but if only someone had shown me such prejudicial projection and insult earlier in life; I would never have strayed into the horrible cult of atheism, and would have remained part of the flock of unquestioning believers.
      (Wait. I think my sarcasm button got stuck. There we go; fixed it.)
      Your excuse is lame, and your rude evaluation of my support for the criticisms in the video is just pathetic. I'm glad to see you "loving your enemy" as directly commanded in the scripture you so love.
      Please, show us more of this hypocritical stance. I'm sure you'll earn plenty of heaven points and Jesus juice to satiate your blind hatred, and it will surely bring us so very much closer to believing in your god. (Darn, that sarcasm just won't stop. Really need to get that thing fixed.)

      You must be psychic, because you know me better than myself! Either that, or you simply don't give a fuck and prefer to fight strawmen rather than real people. Tell me: what is my profession, my opinion on politics, or my marital status? Surely, someone who knows what I believe and understand, such as yourself, could easily describe such things.
      Name calling and assertions without supporting evidence are not corrections. It is immature to spout such things. Your fit is adorable. Please do not think I am so low as to fall to your level.

    I believe Hebrews 6&7 answer the conundrum you appear to be facing regarding this:
    Hebrews 7:
    1 ¶ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, met Abraham and blessed him as he returned from defeating the kings,
    2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means king of righteousness, then also, king of Salem, meaning king of peace.
    3 Without father, mother, or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
    4 ¶ Now consider how great this man was: even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the plunder to him.
    5 The sons of Levi who receive the priestly office have a command according to the law to collect a tenth from the people ​- ​that is, from their brothers and sisters ​- ​though they have also descended from Abraham.
    6 But one without thisfn lineage collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.
    7 Without a doubt, the inferior is blessed by the superior.
    8 In the one case, men who will die receive a tenth, but in the other case, Scripture testifies that he lives.
    9 And in a sense Levi himself, who receives a tenth, has paid a tenth through Abraham,
    10 for he was still within his ancestorfn when Melchizedek met him.
    11 ¶ Now if perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be according to the order of Melchizedek and not according to the order of Aaron?
    12 For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must be a change of law as well.
    13 For the one these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar.
    14 Now it is evident that our Lord came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests.
    15 ¶ And this becomes clearer if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
    16 who did not become a priest based on a legal regulation about physicalfn descent but based on the power of an indestructible life.
    17 For it has been testified: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
    18 ¶ So the previous command is annulled because it was weak and unprofitable
    19 (for the law perfected nothing), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
    20 ¶ None of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
    21 but he became a priest with an oath made by the one who said to him: The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever.”
    22 ¶ Because of this oath, Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant.
    23 ¶ Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office.
    24 But because he remains forever, he holds his priesthood permanently.
    25 Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them.
    26 ¶ For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
    27 He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do ​- ​first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all time when he offered himself.
    28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.

    I would like to kindly bring some questions:
    in Haggai 2: 20-23, it would seem that Zerubbabel is the son of Shealtiel but in 1 chronicles 3:19 he would result that Zerubbabel is instead a son of Pedaiah.
    What do you say about this contradiction.
    If God had cursed Jehoiakim and all his descendants (I insist on all) in Jeremiah 36: 30-31, it is possible that he then changes his mind and rehabilitates Zerubbabel in Haggai 2: 20-23.????
    What god would it be?
    What happened to his omniscience?
    Honestly it's a huge mess. All this seems to me quite ridiculous.

      In 1 Chronicles 3, Zerubbabel is the son of Pedaiah who is the son of Jeconiah. So it's the same family line, although Haggai does not mention Pedaiah in between.
      And yes, you're right, if God knew that he'd change his mind about Jeconiah's descendants, why did his curse his whole family line to begin with? It doesn't make sense if God is supposed to be omniscient. But personally, I think God's omniscience was a later addition to God's character.

    If you cannot believe Jesus to be the messiah according to what the scriptures say, then your scriptures are false scriptures. Because, now there is no throne of David and there is no king on it. So what you believe is utter waste. According to your scriptures, David's throne is everlasting... but there is no more the throne of David in this world now... so your scriptures are false, so why believe in your scriptures? But, because of Jesus, still the throne of David exists and He is sitting as the King in the hearts of many in this world. Everything becomes possible only in Jesus Christ, or else all falls flat on face. Jewish scriptures are believed still in this world because of Jesus and if not they are not true words of God. Jesus Christ is the Son of Man and Son of God... because He is 'the Last' , ' the Omega' . He came after Man. When God started to create , He was there in the beginning to become the ' first' through Him all was made. But how He became the Last? Jesus is Son of Man, coming after Man, so He is the Last. God is the First and the Last. Your logic fails your scriptures, but love for Jesus makes the same scriptures come alive. Jesus Christ is the Truth and our God and our Messiah.

      Discern4 You must understand that in Bible, God says He will not give His glory to any other. How can you expect a mere man to sit as an Everlasting King on the throne of David. God gave the Israel its kings because they insisted to have one from among the people, because they did not consider God as their king. Then God said to the Prophet Samuel, that His people have rejected Him by asking for a king. So God wants to be their king and they wanted a man as their king. So how can God be their king? God became man to become that promised man who will be the Everlasting King. Now how can God have earthly father? Do you know that life of every flesh is in it's blood as written in bible, Leviticus. As told in John chapter 1, the Word of God, who is God became flesh and left his glory above and came down. Now how can flesh have life on this earth? The life of mankind was losing its life because of sins. But, God wanted to bless that life of Man for ever. So when this blood of David through Mary entered the flesh of Jesus, Jesus became the Son of Man and Son of God simultaneously. God dwelt among His people as prophesied in Zachariah chapters. Jesus gave every drop of His blood as an atonement for all of our sins. You need to understand that God in bible through His prophets has many times told that He will come as a Man to deliver His people. But, God in His mercy as chosen even the gentiles to become His people as told by His prophets in the Bible. Now, whether His people or the gentiles, can come to God only if they are Holy and righteous as the prerequisite. You can be Holy and righteous only if you are under God's rule. When you are expecting a mortal man to be an Everlasting king, and do not understand that God wants to be ur king, you are not having faith in God! How can any man become the Everlasting king? You must also understand that Man was created in the image of God. So when He appeared as a Man on this earth, many could not recognize Him. When the scriptures says, God is the First and the Last, we can understand the God is the First and the beginning, but how is He also the Last and the End? God is First because we were made by Him, through Him, and how is He going to be the Last? This is creation account in Genesis... Woman was the last thing to be created and God rested after that. After the sin was committed, Adam and Eve had to leave the God's own garden. Now God is the Last also... but how is He the Last? When He came and combined Himself again with His creation, He did a new thing. This Time He Himself chooses to be created Last. A new State of God. Becoming the Last. Jesus Christ is that New state of God Himself. The Son of God! But He is also the Son of Man, coming after Man, to become the Last. God is in the process of forgiving everyone who trusts in Him... all the sins can be forgiven by God where He can nullify the curses also. God is good to do good than evil. He wants to forgive all. He has done it in bible and will do it always. God choose to come in that line, so that the curse can turn into blessings. Did not God spare the sinners and forgave if they repented sincerely?

    in chapter 9 the angel tells that there are 70 weeks determined for Jewish people. I always thought that the angel meat the first 70 weeks. But one day I was reading chapter 12 and when I read such words:" As for you, Daniel, keep the words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end" it struck me. The angel made it very clear that the book can be understood only in the times of the end. Therefore he definitely meant the last 70 weeks, that is 490 years. In the chapter it is said that the messiah should appear 483 years after the issuing of the word to restore Jersalem. This word went out in 1535. 1535 +483=2018. And final week will will last till the new era in 2025. Yet in 2003 when I was 15 after reading final words in chapter 12 I conted 2625(1290+1335) from 607 BC (cessation of the sacrifice) as thought at that time and I got 2019. But later I understood that the year is 608. Jeremiah predicted that Jerusalem will be oppressed by Babylon for 70 years. In 538 BC Cyrus decreed that Jews returned to their land. It's obvious that 70- year period ended then. 538+70=608. Daniel was captured in 608 unlike historians say that it happened in 605. 607 is the year according to Jehovah's witnesses. They are mistaken also. We have one more number 2300 in chapter 8. I was very sceptical about it first for there is an abyss there. There is a prediction about the division of Greek kingdom in foour. And suddenly the chapter starts telling about some villain who would rule in the end of times and should be destroyes by God (not by hand). If we count 2300 years from 281 we get at 2020. 281 BC is the year Seleucus dies. He was the only one left of the four between whom Macedoniam Empire was divided. He was the king of the north. But there is more. From 1535 there are 49 years(7 weeks) then we have 364 to 1948 (creation of Israel) and then - 70 weeks to 2018 (1535+483). Remains one week till 2025 (1535+490). In the book of Enoch and the book of Jubelees there is a lot about 364 days. According to this books a year should have exactly 364 days. The fallibility of this calendar can be fixed by adding every seven years seven days. (364*7=2448 2448+7). Then we should add extra seven days every 49 years and then every 70 years. Thus we have the following numbers:49, 364, 70 and 7. 1535+(49)+(364)+(70)+(7). The biblical "day for a year" principle is used. But there is even more. Thus we a year had 2555 days.(364*7+7), If we cound 2555 from 538 when Cyrus decreed that Jews returned, we arrive at 2018 one more time. when I noticed it I was stunned. If this is a coincidence then I'm Santa Claus. And the last thing that killed me was: 2625 - 2555=70. What do you think about it. I understood a long time ago that Jesus was not the messiah. Here is my video in Russian: ua-cam.com/video/IarWlQ-zqZ4/v-deo.html. Here I explain this .

      @@rawman909 Hi. To clarify my position, I don't believe in God. What I was doing is called "internal critique" which is showing that the stories or doctrines are not internally consistent, and can thus be dismissed. As a non-believer, I won't be persuaded to not ask questions or evaluate the stories and doctrines in the Bible merely by being told that the biblical authors wrote that it is wrong to do so.
      You say "Why God did something [is] not for us to judge." Why not? We have brains, and we have the ability to evaluate the things that we see and hear and must do so to function in life. Why should our understanding of God and the Bible be any different?
      "God is not a man that He should lie, nor is He a mortal that He should relent. Would He say and not do, speak and not fulfill?" First of all, Balaam wasn't saying that God is hard to understand. He clearly said that God keeps his word and doesn't change his mind. This idea is echoed in 1st Samuel 15:29 "He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”
      Of course 5 verses later we find that God does change his mind: 1st Samuel 15:35 "Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel." And also Genesis 6:6 "The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled."
      Jeremiah 26:13 "Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you."
      1st Chronicles 21:15 "And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite."
      Joel 2:13 "And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil."
      And Exodus 32:9-14 "And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
      10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation."
      [... Moses pleads with God...
      Then]
      14 "And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people."
      As we can see, the idea presented in Numbers 23:19 is contradicted by numerous other verses. But even if it weren't, why should anyone not evaluate the scriptures and what they say about God?
      Thanks.

    "Jesus could not fulfill the book of Isaiah for the reason that his line of David is not from the stump of Jesse. The line of Jesus is from the felled ancestral tree of Jesse."
    Isaiah refers to the “stump” of Jesse who is the father of King David as a prophetic announcement of the banishment of King Jeconia and all of his descendants from ever sitting on the throne of David. The ancestral tree of Jesse through King David and King Solomon is cut down leaving only an ancestral tree stump.
    The cutting down of the line of the Kings of Judah is the ancestral tree of David forbidden to ever rule over Judah in Jerusalem again. It is the line of heirs in the first chapter of the book of Matthew of the New Testament, the line of Jesus. The tree felled leaving only a stump.
    G-d did not banish this line of Jesse of the Kings of Judah until long after the death of Isaiah. G-d knew in Isaiah’s time that the line of the Kings of Judah would be taken into exile and His Temple destroyed. That He would end that line leaving just a stump of Jesse for His anointed king messiah to be raised from.
    The line of Jesus given in the book of Matthew is the line of the Kings of Judah through King Jeconia that was exiled to Babylon and banished by G-d from ever ruling over Judah again. That is why the ancestral tree of Jesse the father of King David is referred to as the stump.
    Jesus could not fulfill the book of Isaiah for the reason that his line of David is not from the stump of Jesse. The line of Jesus is from the felled ancestral tree of Jesse.
    Isaiah 53 describes the twig of the stump of Jesse. Jesus cannot be the man described in Isaiah 53.

    It's crystal clear why Jesus was born of a virgin.
    It's crystal clear that God informed us as such in Genesis 3:15 and Isaiah 7:14
    Jesus is not connected to Jeconiah by blood.
    There's also passage in the Tanakh that says the Messiah cannot be descended from David on his mother's side.
    You asked, "what's the purpose of Matthew's genealogy if it can simply be dismissed?" The purpose of Matthew's genealogy is to show why Yeshua could not be king if he were really Joseph’s son.
    As for Solomon, Matthew traced the paternal line of descent through Solomon; Luke traced the maternal line through Solomon’s brother, Nathan. In 1Chronicles 28:7 and 1Kings 9:4-9, where God speaks directly to Solomon, God makes it clear that in order for Solomon's line to continue in kingship they must never turn from God or serve other gods. God gave specific CONDITIONS! God tells Solomon he must observe all his decrees and laws, and then he will establish the royal throne over Israel forever, but Solomon clearly did not follow the counsel of God. Solomon had hundreds of wives and concubines and he frequently sinned against the commands of God. David did not have Solomon’s wisdom but Solomon did not have David’s heart for God, which is why King David is considered the standard by which all the future kings of Israel and Judah are judged, not Solomon.
    1 Kings 11:3
    3 He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart."
    1 Kings 11:9
    5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as did his father David. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon."
    9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice."
    In Deut. 17:14-20, God gives specific instructions to the king and Solomon broke every single rule listed in this text. The kings of Israel, which are to be chosen from among the brethren (not a foreigner) shall not:
    multiply horses for himself, nor shall he cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, since the LORD has said to you, ‘You shall never again return that way.’
    multiply wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away
    greatly increase silver and gold for himself, in the form of heavy taxation and conscription of labor.
    Solomon broke all three of these.
    One final question. The author makes all of these points which are false. But for argument sake, let's say they're true. It is 2017. Let's say next week, a man shows up and claims to be the Messiah of Israel. How will you sir or any Rabbi prove His lineage? Where is the tribe of Judah? And will this man enter Ben Gurion International Airport on a donkey as Zechariah says?

    • @Discern4
      @Discern4  7 років тому +1

      _"The purpose of Matthew's genealogy is to show why Yeshua could not be king if he were really Joseph’s son."_
      That's only speculation by apologists. Matthew says no such thing about his genealogy of Jesus being invalid. Every other genealogy in the bible is used to PROVE a person's ancestry, not disprove it.
      _"Luke traced the maternal line through Solomon’s brother, Nathan"_
      That's a desperate apologetic from Christians trying to harmonize the two genealogies. Luke's genealogy is not of Mary's lineage, and it clearly states that. Professor Bart Ehrman (a bible scholar fluent in Greek) writes: _"both genealogies are explicit: they are of Joseph"_ (The Bible, 2013)
      Even if it were of Mary, it would be irrelevant. The Messiah must be a descendant of David through his father's tribal lineage, not his mother's. The messiah must be from the tribe of Judah, just like David. Tribal lineage is not passed through the mother.
      _"God makes it clear that in order for Solomon's line to continue in kingship they must never turn from God or serve other gods."_
      In 2 Samuel 7:12-16, God says that even if Solomon disobeys him, his throne will still continue forever:
      _"If he sins, I will correct and discipline him with the rod ... But my favor will not be taken from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from your sight. Your house and your kingdom will continue before me for all time, and your throne will be secure forever"_
      _"How will you sir or any Rabbi prove His lineage? Where is the tribe of Judah?"_
      My understanding is that Jews believe this will somehow be revealed by God at the time. I supposed it's similar to how Christians believe God revealed Jesus to be his son.

      Who has bound the waters in a garment?
      Who has established all the ends of the earth?
      What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,

      Agur through Solomon initially asks four rhetorical questions. He actually answers the questions with a 5th question.
      1.WHEN DID YHVH ASCEND INTO HEAVEN AND DESCEND FROM HEAVEN?
      2.Based on question #6, WHAT IS HIS SON'S NAME?
      Hosea 5:15
      "15 I will return again to My place
      Till they acknowledge their offense.
      Then they will seek My face;
      In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
      YHVH is the speaker. He says, "I will return again to My place." In order for YHVH to return to His place, He must first leave His place. Only after leaving His place, could He return again to His place. The place of YHVH is in heaven.
      1.When did YHVH leave heaven in order to return back to heaven?
      2.YHVH continues by stating His leaving is CONDITIONAL! For He says, "Till they (Israel) acknowledge their offense."
      What offense? What specific guilt?
      3.Apparently Israel will not freely confess this offense against YHVH. And apparently, the Jews do not seek His face. He says in their "affliction" they will earnestly seek Me."

      "7 Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
      8 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness;
      therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
      V.8 "therefore God, thy God..." WHAT? Huh? Come again! "therefore God, thy God"! The word God is given to two different persons! He is addressing God and after addressing God, He says another God will anoint this God! The first Elohim is being addressed and the second Elohim is the God of the first Elohim!

      Genesis 19:24
      "24 Then the LORD caused to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;"

The One who had been previously speaking to Abraham and appeared to him at the Oaks of Mamre warning Him of the coming destruction of Sodom...THAT JEHOVAH, who was on earth or Jehovah #1, was now reigning fire and brimstone from Jehovah #2 who was in heaven! We have the term Jehovah, the personal name of YHVH applied to two different persons.

    @elmajraz6019 7 років тому

    Try considering since it's a virgin birth, then the whole blood of Jesus is of Mary... Then you will say, Mary is a Levite, so Jesus must also be a Levite...
    Not neccesarily, because the Jews thought Prophet John the Baptist (the Levite son of Prophet Zechariah the Levite) is the Messiah... So Prophet John the Baptist must be (somehow) the son of Prophet Solomon and of Prophet Aaron...
    Now it is proven that Mary is a Levite by calling her "the sister of Aaron, the Prophet" (Quran 19:28)...
    This can only mean that one of her ancestor (Levite), his wife must have married a Jew earlier and had a son J, then the ancestor died and she married a Levite and had a son L... Hence J and L are brothers by the same mother...
    Then J took a wife but before the got any children, J died, so the wife married J's brother L as it is forbidden to marry anyone outside the family...
    Hence by Nature, the begotten son of a Levite but by the Law (of Deuteronomy 25:5) is the son of Jew...
    Begotten son of a Levite means he is a Levite,
    Son of Judah by Law makes him the Messiah...

    • @Discern4
      @Discern4  7 років тому +3

      According to the bible, the jews asked John the Baptist if he was the messiah, Elijah or “the prophet”. John said no to all three. If the jews were sure that John was the messiah, why did they ask if he was the other people as well? He can’t be all three. Their evidence must not have been strong if they're wondering if he is three different people.
      As for Mary being a Levite, the bible says Mary’s relative was a Levite, but that’s as close as it gets. The Quran cannot be used as reliable supporting evidence for Mary's tribe, because the Quran was written some 600 years later.
      However Mary's lineage still doesn’t matter: Jewish tribal lineage is transferred from father to son. It doesn’t matter what tribe the mother is, the child always takes on the tribal lineage of the father.

      If that verse were true, that creation itself is proof of God, then every scientist in the field would be telling us God is real. God seems to try extremely hard to make his creation look like evolution and other natural processes.

    •  6 років тому

      I'm not a christian. I do understand what I was told about evolution, I was taught in 4th grade and had it pounded into my head until just about the end of high school. That doesn't mean I believe everything I'm told, otherwise I'd still believe in Santa Clause and the tooth fairy. I understand the idea of branching evolutionary traits and to be honest, I just don't buy it. Science has been making crap up as they go for quite a while now.
      Cross breeding does not prove evolution, it proves that you can breed plants with different races of plants. You can breed a plum with an apricot, which is akin to breeding a black guy with a white girl. However, you cannot breed a carrot with either a plum or an apricot because that's like saying that a person can bang a dog and pop out a mix. It won't happen without genetic modification, in which case you're changing the makeup, making it an altogether different creation. Just because I believe in God doesn't mean I don't understand the concepts that people are telling me. I can regurgitate the same bullshit everybody else does, that doesn't mean it's true, which is why I look at everything, including math and science with a skeptical eye. Theory's have changed for as long as people have been coming up with them.
      Archimedes didn't believe in gravity, he believed in density and buoyancy, and he lived over 2230 years ago. And before you say he didn't have the knowledge to come up with a theory like gravity, I would like to add that he was doing geometry and calculus (wrongly attributed to Newton) over 2230 years ago. Knowledge gets lost all the time, nobody figured out how to do calculus for quite a while after his death because almost nobody that knew him could even do half of the math he could. How can people pass that on without having a clue as to what any of it meant? They probably just tossed his research in the basement somewhere not even bothering to look into any of it because people are usually just that stupid.

    Haha this is some bullshit twisted reasoning you are presenting. You said in one of your rebuttals that the Messiah should come from the father and Joseph being the father of Jesus disqualifies him as Messiah because of coniah's curse. That is the problem with your so-called reasoning. 1) Joseph isn't Jesus biological father. 2) if Jesus had an earthly biological father that disputes the virgin birth [Isa. 7:14] as well as disqualifies him as God. You say scripture does not say heli as the father of Mary... true, BUT it does not explicitly say he is not either. Genesis 3 says the seed of the woman. Everyone knows the seed comes from the male or the father. Now how can scripture refer to the seed of the woman? it is because the Messiah will come through supernatural means and require no seed from any man thus explaining the obvious which is the virgin birth. Next time do your homework - you are either sloppy or you have an agenda.

      God's word was broken when the 'scepter' (royal line) was removed about 600 years before Christ: the Babylonians invaded and sent the last jewish king and his people into exile. There has not been a king of Israel/Judah since then. This was centuries before Jesus was even born, so it's not as if Jesus came and took over from an existing king. The royal line was broken long before he was around. Israel was declared a state in 1948, and yet there's still no king. So the prophecy about there always being a descendant of Judah ruling over Israel until the messiah comes, is a flop.

    In the end of the day whatever this video may convey Jesus is risen from the dead and sitting in the right side in the throne of God, if u have felt God presence in your life and the voice of the Holy Spirit and the answer is yes well it’s over what more proof or theological knowledge do u want ? Let’s be doers of the scriptures than just readers of it ...

    Ironically, the book of Mark seems to indicate that Jesus was the biological son of Joseph and the adopted son of Yahweh, hot the other way around.

      Nowhere is it stated that way.Mark might have just given the perception of the people.Take the matthew Geneology The word begot is useduntil zJoseph only Luke says that Jesus was supposed to be the so of JosephThe word begot is not there

      You say that like it's not the whole point of putting the genealogy there to show how Jesus is a biological descendant of David and therefore qualified to be the Messiah.

    So here's a conversation that totally took place (like for real) A guy walks up to Jesus and the court reporter in the middle of the night and without saying hi or introducing himself faced the audience and said “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied "Uhh... did you have a question? Nice to meet you too." Jesus then faced the audience and said in a loud voice “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." The stranger then faced Jesus and said "WTF? How can someone be born when they are old? Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Jesus, still facing the audience, then answered and said “Very, very, extremely, for realz, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’" The stranger then said "but how... " The wind blows wherever it pleases." Jesus answered. "You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” “How can this be?” The stranger asked. “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, now facing the stranger “and do you not understand these things? I just explained it to you!!! Look, it's a metaphor OK? You don't have to literally be born twice." The stranger asked "How did you know I was Israel's Teacher?" Jesus faced the audience again and shouted " Look, I really, really, truly tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?" "But rabbi" The stranger said, "You just said 'spirit gives birth to spirit'..." No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven-the Son of Man." "but rabbi what about Enoch and Elij..." "just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but" "Hold on a second you guys" The court reporter said, "I need time to catch up." Afterward, Jesus finished his paragraph and then they all walked away without saying another word. The end. You all believe this really happened don't you?
