      My favourite is when he, and others, try to convince people that everything in the bible is true... by citing the bible.
      That kind of circular reasoning would never work for any subject, but for this particularly it's insane. Why would anyone use something that the other people don't believe is anything more than a collection of parables, to prove to those non-believers that it's *more* and is actually the word of an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful deity that is responsible for creating our entire existence? The bible is true because the bible says it's true. Well I say I'm a 15-foot purple chicken Jedi master with lasers for eyes, and you have to believe me, because I'm a purple chicken Jedi master and I say so.

    On the genealogy part, the simple answer is this: Matthew’s account is on the paternal line of his genealogy. Whereas Luke’s account is on the maternal line. Yes it reads Joseph is the son of Heli but the relation is son-in-law. Is it clear in the wording? No. But that is why there is a difference between the 2 genealogies.
    Jesus having been conceived by God and Joseph being the adoptive father, Matthew was showing that Jesus was the rightful heir to David’s throne through the adoption laws of the time and Luke was showing that Jesus was in fact also a blood descendent of David making him also literally the heir to the throne of David through Mary his mother.

      Plus, this only explains the apparent contradiction if that *is* what these two genealogies are actually doing. There is nothing in the text that says they are. It's perfectly possible for these two authors to have different thoughts on these family trees, in which case this is a contradiction. At best, this is a *possible* explanation. Proponents would have to show more than they have done that this definitely *is* the explanation.

      A contradiction is a circumstance where a logical system contains two concepts that cannot coexist with each other. The simplest example being P AND NOT P; that is, an proposition that is simultaneously true and false.
      The Bible lacks contradictions. Certainly nothing in this video holds water. You start with two genealogies, one which ends with a man's biological father and one that ends with his father-in-law. Not a contradiction. Then you come to a question about touching, which is closer to a lost-in-translation detail that clears up the instant you look at the verses in other translations or go back to the original Greek manuscripts and the idioms and phrases of the time. And then you wrap it all up with seven events that were merely not written in sequential order.
      None of these are contradictions.

I myself serched for years and could not find the truth till I to give up. At that moment, God showed up, and I received his forgiveness and promised Holyspirit everything changed. Remember what Jesus said keep knocking, and the door will open he is not for me and agaisnt you He loves you and desires to dwell in you for his spirit and word to make his home in you. Keep praying, and I will keep praying with you and wait on the Lord coming the way He chose for us to come.

      @@andrewolson5471 That's where you've gone wrong, friend, allowed doubt to come in from the devil, and not allowed faith to grow. We all can struggle with this. But when you come God's way and ask for the promised changes being born again and experience his power coming into your heart and life makes the difference. And when we walk in the light and live in the gift of the Holy spirit we can grow what is our emotios thoughts and what is the spirit of God in us. All Jesus ask of us was to believe and not doubt for this is how the devil trips us up.
      Many times I've prayed and been frustrated I don't get it my way my time my desires but we learn to let go and trust and then I was blessed with Gods will for my life.
      I remind you Jesus told us to keep the faith till the end for a reason we are in a battle in the spirit realm but we overcome it each day by faith in Christ who give us the victory in his name.
      It's time to get back up on the horse again. There is no other way if you have tasted of the truth before you know Gods love for you. Don't doubt it only beleive. As Peter said where eles can we go when we want to give up Jesus is life eternal.
      We are seeing the signs Jesus told us about especially the last ten years and it is tough the storms we endure but all must come to pass then Jesus will appear for us as promised. I myself went through a time of not hearing I got lazy, sad down.
      I knew I need to keep going by faith and other night started to wrote down again what I hear I felt the spirit saying my heart was being tested for the work to come.
      This is not and easy path granted but we must trust Jesus over are doubts by keeping our faith in his salvation and victory so we rely only on the cross and noting in our selves.
      I was healed instant from migraines when saved in prayer why does things not happen like that always I don't know, but God gives us faith to keep going and now and then I see and hear so clealry and his word happens as promised other times i feel i can't go on so as I said this is a battle and we only overcome it by our faith in Jesus and wait on his appearing.
      I'm going to pray for you that Jesus visit you and strengthen you for it sounds to me you have exhausted yourself,
      When i read the bible young i coukd not see it, but when older Jesus opened my eyes spiritual and it was alive to me totally different so If you have not had that encounter and recived the promised holy spiirt Jesus said ask and it be given I will also pray this for you.

    • @stephengray1344
      @stephengray1344 7 днів тому +2

      @Yehan-xt7cw That's completely not true. Kent is reading the King James, which is a revision of the Bishop's Bible, which is a revision of Tyndale's bible. Which is a direct translation from the original languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic). Though there is a small section of Revelation in which Tyndale's Greek text is actually a translation back to Greek from the Latin Vulgate (which was a direct translation from the Greek). But that's only there because Erasmus didn't have access to any complete Greek manuscripts of that book.
      The original claim that the Bible is the most revised and re-written book of stories in literary history is only true if you consider translation to necessarily be revision and re-writing. Pretty much every translation or revision of the Bible is done by referring back to the texts in their original languages. The only exception I can think of is Wycliff's translation into middle English in the 14th century, which was a translation of the Latin Vulgate because that's all he had available.

      The age of the Earth really isn't a problem for the Bible. Christians back in the 4th century wrote that Genesis 1 was not intended to be interpreted literally. Modern scholarship generally thinks of that passage as being a rebuttal to the pagan creation myths (most of which took the form of the gods reshaping what was already there), rather than being intended to be read as a scientific textbook. It's worth noting that Christians almost universally abandoned the idea of a young earth back in the 19th century (the one exception of any note being the Seventh Day Adventists, who were at the time a heretical offshoot of Christianity), and the Young Earth Creationism of today was a new movement than only really dates back to the 1950s.

    Oh man, this was cringy.
    I'm a self-taught Christian Apologist for the better part of 20 years. I've done my own research on the topic and am confident in my faith. With that being said, the presentation of his rebuttal was painful to watch, and follow. There was too much time in setting up his response and very little time he spend on the actual response. Unfortunately, this kind of forum does easily not lend itself to these kinds of topics, especially when the presenter is all over the place.
    He did describe himself as a (Biblical) Literalist, which is probably the most difficult kind of person to have a debate with. I do appreciate folks like Emma and you SciMan, who can tackle complex topics and distill them down to digestible and understandable explanations. Seeing videos like this make me want to re-double my efforts in the classes I lead in Christian Apologetics to emphasize being clear and to the point in responses.
    Also, not being able to say "I do not know" when you are entering murky waters is an acceptable response. I'm not sure that he should have been trying to tackle Emma point by point when his answers were all over the place. When it comes to matters of (any) faith, there are some things that are accepted without understanding - hence the word "faith". However, that is not a mandate to not ask questions or to try to learn about it. Regardless of your stance, I always enjoy learning more about things that I do not understand.

      If I punch the guy caring for my sheep and he can't work for a day, I owe him the same expenses and care for that day, the same wages, but if any of my sheep are lost, that's my property, I don't need to compensate my servant for my losses.
      So there's a verse in Exodus saying that, for the crime of assault, I don't owe my servant the same compensation I owe someone who is not my servant. That punishment does not apply.
      So there's a verse in Exodus saying a man isn't punished for striking his servant.
      But is that what I described in my example?
      It's Exodes 21, by the way. One of the more common go-tos for people trying to discredit the Bible.
      The Bible says what it says, but if you read only pieces, you aren't really reading the Bible.

    According to Kent, Adam was naming the animals while he looked at them for a wife. I know Kent is from the south so that's probably how he missed that one.

    As a trained theologian, I personally don't give two handfuls of crap if you believe in some sort of higher being or not. Let's just get that out of the way. Honestly, I think the worst thing that happened to the world was Johannes Gutenberg. He allowed the masses to have access to a document that they had no training in and didn't understand. (It would like your garbage man reading the a textbook on how to perform a appendectomy and then deciding she/he could perform it. (nothing against garbage men. It is an honorable job.)) Creationists have completely misread the Jewish and Christian scriptures. The universe was not created in six days. The story is there for three main reasons: a) to remind people that what we see is good b) to remind people that we are the caretakers and we should treat it with the utmost respect and not abuse it and c) to remember to take at least one day off a week because otherwise we will literally work ourselves to death. I won't bother getting into anything else. I have talked long enough. Here is your TL:DR: Creationists are morons.
