When you read the New Testament the holy spirit literally reaches out and grabs you and pulls you into the truth of Jesus Christ. As an ex-atheist, I was amazed at how shockingly powerful the words of Jesus were and once you hear His words how can anybody ever be the same? How can we not be moved? How can we not be born again? Jesus is awesome.
I was brought up apatheisitic. After I left home I studied Christianity with an open mind and found it to be at best ridiculous and at worst disgusting. You'd think if it was true it would open to all people. I will never believe in Christianity because it has such huge holes in it's sources.
I love when he says “is my problem in life NOT knowing the right thing to do? NO! I know the right thing to do I just don’t do it. That’s why I need Jesus!” Awesome Cliffe, thank you !
@@shaunayy8700 I quote Paul a lot . My father was a Baptist minister and pastor for 37 years He preached the New Testament most of the time. He said just preach Jesus Christ and you will be alright. All Paul does is expound on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
When he mentioned Jesus separates people not by good and bad but by humble and self rightious people. It amazed me. "Blessed are those who are poor in spirit..." Amazing Lord So beautiful. Thank you my Savior Lord Jesus Christ!!
Cliffe is such a great man. The fact he gives his time for the youth. He is truely blessed by YHWH with his knowledge. Its very inspiring to see as a 20 year old from London. We need more Cliffe's in this world to educate. God bless you keep doing these great works. Amen 🙏🏻
@Ummer Farooq the accusations are based on facts according to your scriptures. mohammed had multiple wives, and that by definition makes someone an adulterer. please read your sources before making false accusations

@Paul Wieringa And there is literally no evidence that suggests, let alone proves, that naturalism is or even could be true. While virtually no qualified historical scholars claim what you just did. _Double-standard + denial of the historical record? Brilliant!_
@@mitchellc4 So you continue to mindlessly paste and repeat... without bother to read what others say? The Bible warns against such silliness... (Proverbs 18:13) Preaching to the choir makes you look like a troll.
@Paul Wieringa Didn't say you did mention 'N'aturalism, but what other option is there? Sources outside the Bible? Numerous. And how do you know that denying his existence isn't merely bias? And the Bible is unreliable how exactly? Why should anyone believe that the most influential person who ever lived, never actually existed?
@Paul Wieringa *"YOU USED THE WORD "NATURALISM" AND ATTRIBUTED TO ME."* Absolutely. Are you claiming to have faith in something outside of nature regarding the origins of everything? *"THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS."* So what's the problem? You're a blind faith believer. So why the double-standard? You have literally no empirically verifiable scientific evidence for your faith, and you arbitrarily reject all the evidence that supports the Christian faith. Why? *"WHAT "SOURCES OUTSIDE THE BIBLE?" NAME SOME..."* Sure, but you don't get to change the rules just because your bluff has been called. For starters, there are the independent gospel accounts, found in the Bible. So that's 4 right there. Then you have at least half a dozen others... *"...EARLY FIRST CENTURY."* Can you do the same for any historical figure from antiquity? You know, the time of Christ or earlier? Or is this more double-standard stuff? *"BECAUSE THE ONLY EVIDENCE FOR HIM IS IN THE BIBLE."* And what IS the Bible, Paul? *"YES THE BIBLE IS UNRELIABLE."* You're going to have to be more specific... *"HAVE A READ IF YOU DARE."* Why? Is it less stupid than you are being right now? Can you give me 3 good reasons why you embrace naturalism and 3 good reasons why you believe that humanism is true?
@Paul Wieringa Because of the lack of good reasons to think he did? Absence of evidence is only evidence of absence when there's good reason to expect the thing to have left evidence that we'd have found already. Jesus could have existed (a naturalistic Jesus: with lots of supernatural stories merely told about him), and left no evidence that I'd expect we'd definitely have found. He could have vanished into history without a trace, like most people did. I see this as basically on par with him not existing, equally likely.
@Paul Wieringa *"sure if he was just an average guy"* - I'm only suggesting him being an average guy, me being an atheist. So that does sound like a concession to me. So when you said "Jesus didn't exist", did you mean God-Jesus? You didn't mean to insist that that some stories weren't based on a real average guy, who got mythologized about?
@Paul Wieringa I've come to the idea of all that you are very lonely and maybe you really are seeking Christ and you don't realize it maybe it's subjective maybe it's not maybe it's subconsciously in your mind you really want to know Christ I don't know. But you're on almost every single feed just trying to put forth doubt against other people who are believers again, I don't mind you asking questions because you're searching even if you're an atheist I don't mind the questions because you're searching that's what you should do Karma however just to belligerently continue to attack Christ and other people who believe because you have either some dark feeling about it or doubt or whatever you should be here so you choose to go don't say the evidence is on us it's actually on you in this situation thank you.
Love how Cliffe speaks about 'our value'. Society and culture suggest that we are 'rich' if we have the job, the success, the money etc. But within the topic of Jesus we are 'richer'. Jesus is what makes us rich regardless of what we have or what we don't have. Good call!
Ohhh, you are the wise one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 can you prove that your useless imaginary evil genocidal sky daddy is not just a figment of your indoctrinated imagination???
Jesus reveals that to people, but not all people. He has a chosen people, his sheep, he laid his life down for his sheep. Nobody will, because of our sinful nature, even desire God, we lost that in the fall. No man CAN come to me unless it has been granted by the Father. John 6:65
@@timothydodenhoff1068 I hear you. This brings insight. Allow me to share. I do not think that His sheep refers to specific people like you or me. I think it refers to a people with a particular mindset, with people who are open to hear, study and genuinely consider and accept Christ. Which is why Jesus reveals His word to everybody, He has no favorites, but like in the parable of the mustard seed, it depends on the soil (persons mindset) that it falls on. Jesus also says 'he who has ears let him hear'. His message is for everyone. God does not work with favorites, He works with the willing. The old testament brings light to the fact that even when God had a chosen group of people like the Israelites or a specific person like Moses, they often failed God and so Jesus came because we are all plagued by sin, none is special and so the forgivness and the chance to be redeemed and be that special people is offered to all. Even in the parable of the wedding feast, it shows how God did have a chosen people represneted by the people a king exclusively invited to a wedding feast but they ignored His call and turned away from Him. Some of His chosen even kill the servants that were sent to call them and God punishes them. He then sends more of His servants to call everyone and anyone from the street corner since His chosen have refused the call, it says 'they went and called eveyone, good and bad'. When they all come the king finds a man that snuck into the feast without proper attire and when questioned was silent, he was then thrown away and it ends with the statememt 'many are invited but few are chosen'. This goes to show that God invites all (through His word and dying for our sins) but you must do your part to wear the right attire for the feast, that right attire is the acceptance of Jesus' forgiveness as your Lord and savior and to turn away from sin which can only be done by His help. Otherwise not even the word will help you. This also shows just because you act religious and read your bible doesn't earn you a seat at the feast.
@@Kimkong2 so let's throw out all the verses, and there are very, very many of them, that refer to the elect, my sheep, I do Not pray for the world, but those you have given me for they are yours, chosen before the foundation of the World. No one, by nature wants God, there us none who seeks for God, no not one. No one CAN ( ability) come to be unless it has been granted by my Father. John 6:65. All the Father gives me WILL come to me. You do not believe ( obviously prior to faith ) BECAUSE you are not of my sheep. Your insight does not make you a sheep, you are a lost sheep found by the Shepherd. He's not looking for goats . it's our pride that makes us think we have anything to do with it. Faith- a gift. Repentance- a gift. We cannot lift a finger unless God enables us to do so. Our wills, by nature have no inclination towards God, he has to make is alive to respond, as he did Lydia Acts 16:14 - The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's words, why not the other women with her? As many as were appointed to eternal life- this is first- believed. Acts 13:48. Romans 9. It's not hard it's all over the new test. In almost every letter, and in ALL the gospels, regarding chosen, revealing, drawing, ect. So God gets ALL the Glory, man no credit, whatsoever. even when Jesus commends people for believing, God gives the desire for it. Not of him who runs or of him who wills, but God, who has mercy. If you don't believe in Election you don't believe in grace, even though you think you do. Not of yourselves ( in any way ) it is ( entirely) the gift of God. And he doesn't do it because some people are in a better frame than others. Otherwise they sorta contribute somehow, and we know they do not, at all. Even the willingness comes from God, and God doesn't hope people come, he ensure jis people will. I lose none of All he has given Me! None. Christ did not waste a drop of blood for those in hell. Not a drop. Hebrews 10:14 He HAS by one offering, perfected forever- those who are being sanctified- not for those who are not. The offering is only for them. Not a potential salvation, but a Savior who actually does save in that death he died. , S
@@Kimkong2 God has to give the willingness, what sir, do you believed happen to man's inclination towards God, after the fall. He turns away, hates God, loves sin, and unless God intervenes in his soul he will always be that way, although in different manifestations in different people. If you can read the New Test. and tell me he doesn't choose certain people and not others, I don't know what Bible you're reading or your neglecting many verses that clearly say so.
@@timothydodenhoff1068 Yes but you have to ALLOW Him to. Thats my point. And everyone has the free will to do so. If man had no ability or free will to accept Christ then why did He come in the first place, He could just force everyone to accept or send everyone to hell. I did NOT say you have to find God on your own or even can. What i said is you have to do your part in terms of accepting and if you don't accept either eek more or its your onw fault. Even James says faith without action is dead. This does not mean we have anything to do with our being saved, but certainly we have to genuinely accept what Christ did for us. I can forgive you all i want if you wronged me, but if you did not think you did anything wrong in the first place then it doesn't matter to you. This is why the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy to the Holy spirit, because the Holy spirit calls on ALL man, is you reject it and ignore it all your life and until you die (blasphemy) then this sin is unforgivable because like you said, God doesn't want goats. My whole point is, EVERYONE gets the mesage, God does not hide His grace from anyone, His mercy and forgiveness is for ALL. Whether you accept it is now up to you. He will keep knocking until the end of time. There aren't special people, because like we have already established NONE is good but God. So i have no pride and neither do i think anybody deserved forgiveness but God gave it anyway, all He requires from us is to believe in Him. That takes a free will to accept or reject. So when Jesus says His sheep, He means those who willingly accept Him or seek Him, not some special people somewhere in the world who are the only ones who will be saved. Even those with faith as little as a mustard seed. NOBODY who goes to hell or heaven is forced to. We all choose. Salvation is for ALL but not all choose it.

It's just amazing to see how he was able to capture the young people's attention! So much so, that they would sit on the pavement and listen to him, especially in this Era of cell phones.
Would have loved to see your explanation on the last question. I think a good way to put it is how Frank Turek does; "Why do bad things happen?" or "Why does god allow evil?" Someone brought up how can there be a God if Nazis were able to kill millions of jews, or Stalin, or Mao, etc. The answer to my understanding was that this life is temporary, God gave us free will, humans do evil, and there is a judgement day for our sins. "But what about the people who died?" Well, if they accepted Jesus, they went to a better place. "Well what about children and babies? They never got a chance to learn" God is the ultimate being of justice, he won't allow unforgiven sinners into heaven, and he wont allow people who never had a chance to know him go to Hell.
I had the same question about babies who pass in the womb or early life, wouldnt it be better that they didnt have the chance to sin against god and risk their eternal life? What really happens to those babies. It seems weird that some of us have to live this life learning all its lesson and hopefully eventually accepting christ while some who never get a chance just get to go to heaven for eternity.

Dear Paul The words "knowing you" in [John 17:3] mean "knowing you" PERSONALLY and not philosophically as peole do when reading about Lord Jesus in the Holy Bible! This was/is the primary concern of the Church the first 30-40 years! The Church was created as a theraputic institution in order to purfy the heart of man enabling him this way to the presence of His Creador God! [Mathew5:8] “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” There are those today that LOVE Him who live in not so distant places (Mount Athos) that have a real-life person to Person relationship with Lord Jesus! These humble words that are shared with brotherly love and respect, point out to the kind of relationship man was made to have with our Lord Jesus Christ. The following paragraphs, where taken from the book of Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos Entreaty” (Paraklitika), and it is a knowledge that must be shared with all those who have Lord Jesus Christ as their Heavenly Father. “Those who have made their selves worthy to see God are the True Theologians. Saint Gregorios the Theologian taught that those who saw God like Apostle Paul can safely theologize, because the sight of God cleanse them from all fantasy, and renders them, true preachers of the truth, making them explicitly different from philosophers and philosophies”. This is how the Saints describe their personal experience “UNDER CONDITIONS OF CONTINUED PRAYER AND UPWARD EXTENSION THAT HAVE AS CLIMAX THE UNION WITH GOD, MAN IS POSSESSED ENTIRELY FROM LIGHT OF DIVINE GLORY THAT IS SEND FOURTH ETERNALLY FROM THE TRIAD. AFTER THE MIND IS SEIZED FROM THE DIVINE LIGHT AND ENTERS THE LIGHT IT BECOMES ITS SELF-LIGHT. THUS LIKE LIGHT, IT SEES LIGHT”
If Salvation does not include the return to the presence of God from this here life..what good is it? The vision of Divine Light This is what Lord Jesus told St. Symeon when He became worthy to His presence in His Divine Light. “It is me, God, Who became man for you; and behold that I have made you, as you see, and shall make you god”. www.monachos.net/content/patristics/studies-fathers/67 WHO IS LORD JESUS? Revelation 21:6] “Lord Jesus Christ is the ALPHA and the OMEGA, the CAUSE of the CREATIONAL BEGINNING, the CAUSATION OF CREATION, the SUPREME and UPMOST PURPOSE FOR ALL CREATIONS The purpose of the godlike beings is one: to become gradually perfect as God the Father to become "a god by Grace" , to attain Theosis, Deification, Christificication , Trinification. ua-cam.com/video/cDscgffIHJ4/v-deo.html This is the way it was then, this is the way it is today! [John 14:21] “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him”. God bless

Isn't it scary that so many kids are adamant about their thoughts and beliefs but have little or no facts and have never actually studied the evidence? Those that have tried to read it and study it had no guidance to help them understand what is being taught and put it in the correct context. Seems to me they are going on what other people have told them. Which is misinformation. What's worse is that the actions and decisions they make in life are totally based on incorrect information. "Scary"

Thanks Paul long time no chat I've been on some of the other threads trying to help other Christians defend positions for Christ or just Christ in general the same usual atheist run they're doing their thing.
@@godislove363 Hi Jacob yes its been a while. Good to get your post. If we say its an honour and a privilege to defend the Lord’s name as you are doing on those other threads, we are saying a great truth. You’re onto it. Keep up the good work brother. 👍🙏🍀
@@godislove363 I think that true success as a believer comprises of believing that God has got our back. This is an art form of believing, because we have to believe that if we are crossing the sea of difficulties, be it on a sea worthy craft or even a life raft that’s at the mercy of the sea, wind and waves, we must believe the truth. What is the truth? The truth is that it’s God who is running the show. He knows exactly what’s going on. He is acutely aware of our circumstances. And that’s comforting to know. He is allowing and disallowing. And if it’s our turn to go down the plug hole then ok so be it. God knows best. We might think that God didn’t have the backs of the martyrs facing the lions in the Colosseum. Scary huh. Yep He sure did. He was with them all the way along with the holy angels breathing peace into them. What a trial. God knows best. We put forward our best foot but ultimately it’s God’s plan for our life that’s going to override our plan if it’s in opposition to His great plan. Hence sometimes God over shadows our rudder with his superior steering mechanism, and heads us in directions we don’t want to go. Joseph didn’t appreciate being sold into slavery. Nor did he like being thrown in the slammer. But he liked becoming the top man. And running Egypt. God knew best. Let’s trust Him. In God we trust.

It is amazing that the young man was upset about children dying in Africa, but completely missed that abortions are legal here in America. Therefore, who really has the better life: Children born into a bad circumstance but has the opportunity to make a better life.

Young students haven't lived, observed, made decisions and tried to live with them. They aren't told the truth and don't get real news. I looked up when the fetal heartbeat is first detected in the womb because of the arguments people were giving me that they thought were valid. A child in the womb has a detectable heartbeat as early as the fifth week of gestation. That's not what young people were told when I was listening to supposed science. I heard false claims of "just a blob of cells" or not yet a human life. I watched a surgery where the tiny hand gripped the surgeons finger. Best it could get a grip. There's a person inside his mother waiting to enter the world. His existence is different inutero, but he exists, feels and hears what's outside the womb.

@@amarsason1597 you know what christian mean? it was something that the early Christians adopted from people who were trying to mock them for their belief, but those early Christians liked it, because Christian means "christ follower" and thats exactly what they were, "followers of christ" so inherently the word Christian doesn't allude to any religion, because Christian literally means "follower of christ"...not trying to argue anything mate, just telling you the truth of what the word Christian means

ISIS a misinterpretation of Muhammad? What cliff are you joking also the people who did 911 did it because of Islam and if you read the Quran it points to why they did it
Exactly, I respect Cliffe but Cliffe is bending the knee to both camps: both Christ and the world on this particular issue, among few others. Please consider this Cliffe. Please re-evaluate your apologetics on this particular issue.
@@jessieeeperez Hi. True, but Cliffe is still compromising on this particular issue, because ISIS _is_ fueled by very accurate interpretations of the Quran, like Surah 9:5 which commands Allah's followers to kill the infidel 'idolaters' or otherwise those who worship other gods, including the followers of Jesus Christ; "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." Surah 9:5 ... In contrast, Jesus Christ commands His followers to, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do Good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Matthew 5:44 Best, Robert LearnChristianity.org
U can tell in cliff speech that he was aware of isis beliefs and I'm betting he knew or had an idea of what they believe, but sometime have to use wisdom to say the right thing to someone, so u might not offend others because he was trying drive home another point, and if u offend someone at that moment. In their anger they may not listen anymore missing some very value information. Now once u got ur point across, then u can address the elephant in the room in more accurate detail
Didn't really answer the last question. The students might not have been ready for the answer. Bad things do happen to good people. Every human being has been put on earth to glorify God. You might have 100+ years to glorify Him or you might have 1 day. Nonetheless, that's why we are here. There are starving people EVERYWHERE! Help them when and if you can but pray for them when you can't. These people are all young. If starving children in Africa (or anywhere) are tugging at your soul go there and help them.
"Help them when and if you can" -- This motivation is actually the basis for the problem of evil, isn't it? That God doesn't seem to be doing that to his full extent. We see lots of bad things that happen which we are unable to help in, but could have helped if we had God's properties. (It seems the right thing for any caring being to do. So if there's a caring God, why do car crashes happen.)

@Paul Wieringa There were 1400 Scholars in His time wrote about the life and teachings of Lord Jesus ! There is no other person in history talked about as much as Lord Jesus Christ. There were 1400 scholars that were present that wrote about Him His Life and His miracles. None of His miracles were ever questioned because there were always too many people present. There is an certain fact left out when curing the blind man (like many others) that the Holy Fathers did not put in the Holy Bible when separating and delivering to the world the correct books of the Holy Bible in the year 149 AC for it was one of the miracles that would have been doubted/be questioned by many. The blind He healed man was (aomatos) meaning ~he did not have any eyeballs~ Lord Jesus spits on the ground and with the mud he...He .CREATES THE EYES OF THE BLIND MAN! How can an ordinary man could have created the eyes of a man that did not have eyeballs? How does the Church know this for a fact?

(in Greek). There were 1450 scholars that were present those times who wrote about Him His Life and His miracles. None of His miracles were ever questioned because there were always too many people present when they were taking place. This is why nothing from His life or teachings were ever changed by anyone in the Holy Bible! The Church created by the Apostles was present in the world AS A SINGLE CHURCH the first 1054 years of Christianity. The Greek Orthodox Church is that ancient Church present today. According to Pilatos letter, Lord Jesus was very handsome, his hair was red like his face had a rose-white color and he continues to on to say that the light on his face seems to come out from the sun it is so bright that no one is able to see it. The letter to Platus (in Greek righ click to English please) iliaxtida.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/pilatos/ Lord Jesus did not come to bring a new philosophy on earth but to remake man into a new creation a godman part man part god by the Grace of God!

17:29 so from what he said, there has to be a mind, before the mind that operates through chemical to desire to do anything. so the mind before the mind that operates through chemical and then enacts that desire through the body, that mind must first desire to do something so the chemicals can operate and do the desire of the prior mind. It's like he's trying to force the brain into a soda pop can. The brain isn't just chemical It's also, grey matter and electrical signals. As Christians we just believe those electrical signals are operated by the soul, a body without brain signals, no electrical impulses, is an empty shell, no soul, no mind, only a complex biological machine our souls operate, that is still a glorified creation of God, with purpose. And that ot being glorified, will come with us, in the rapture.
Cliff love your work and your ministry it is inspirational but please stop telling these young people that ISIS misrepresents Islam as outlined already by some comments below which include accurate references. Truth is truth and not meant to be compromised. You really need to re-evaluate your position as Islam is a direct opposition to Christianity. Just ask the Christians who have been and continue to be persecuted and killed in Nigeria, Egypt amongst many. God bless you, with Love
@Rejoicing Son Good videos? _I agree!_ But do I troll people relentlessly like Bonnie/Tom does? (New threads, same question.) _Your opinion will be taken into consideration!_
Tom is not a troll but a basic agnostic/atheist. I was there myself before i came to know God therefore i understand him well. He wont change unless God touches his heart and God can touch his heart through other christians. So calling him troll is not right thing to do, trolls are deliberately causing annoyance in people by going off topics and so on, Tom simply states what he believes and how he sees the right from wrong. Also, the reason why he asks the same questions is because he does not get a comprehensive or satisfying answers.
@@nikokapanen82 Tom is a troll. He's been trolling for years... A decade actually. But yes, we are all praying for him! And if we are doing so poorly, well, have you attempted to give him "comprehensive or satisfying answers"? After all, you "understand him well," right? Some tips? A little help maybe? Ever wonder why no agnostic/atheist ever makes the case FOR their own position? It is because it is impossible - there simply are no "comprehensive or satisfying answers" when it comes to a naturalistic worldview. _So who are the ones practicing a blind faith?_
@@jessebryant9233 I lived as an agnostic for most of my life, continually asking believers the same questions, like you know, some proof for Gods existence and never got any because no person can, only when God gave me a powerful spiritual experience i got serious and began to ask God himself, directly, is He real or not and reading the Gospel and eventually God did it, He revealed himself to me. That is what i wish for Tom to happen, some strong touch of Gods hand to his heart and mind, so he would feel it that it is not a joke.
@@nikokapanen82 And yet, back then, you, just like Tom, had no good reason to believe that naturalism is or even could be true. One is refusing to believe, the other is blind faith. Yeah, if a person is not seeking the Truth or isn't willing to accept the Truth - then no amount of evidence is enough. But there is plenty of proof. In fact, it is axiomatic. It's all right there isn Romans 1...

What a silly question. If the amount of people who believe determines the validity of the religion, then Christianity is the most valid religion until there are more Muslims than christans… 🤔
Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of eternal life to all who turn (repent) from whatever they trusted in before, if indeed they trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.
These poor kids think they have better lives because they are comfortable and have possessions that mom n dad gave them. They are sadly mistaken, they just have more conveniences that make many tasks easier. Remember these kids don't know which bathroom to use, eat Tide pods and when their politician doesn't win they need a safe space and a teddy bear to hug. 😊 Travel to poor countries where people have way less material things, work to obtain and survive and you will meet people that are much more kind and helpful because life is about the greater good of the community and being kind to strangers and not all about themselves.

And this glorious Lord made him head of the Church, above all. 23 And this Church is his body, the complement of Christ, as a man and as the head of the Church; of Christ, who as infinite God fills everything with his omnipresent presence and grants everything to all his creations. Holy Baptism which describes a (Union with God) can not possibly take place without Divine intervention Canons (RULES) Let us first pay real attention to what the Holy Bible says to what takes place during Baptism. [Galatians 3:27] “You were baptized into union with Christ, and now you are clothed, with the life of Christ himself”. As you can clearly see Baptism describes ~union with God~ The main question we must ask our selves here is “who was able to inform man as to the way by which Christ will accept to be UNIDED with men and women? Would it be the know how of man …. or would it be it the Holy Spirit (God) Himself? This is why the Holy Spirit delivered to the Apostles 85 Holy Apostolic Canons that include~ the WILL of God ~ for the way man would unite with Christ during Baptism and be able to be clothed, with the life of Christ himself”. Cannons of the Orthodox Church www.holytrinitymission.org/books/english/cannons_apostles_rudder.htm These Holy Apostolic Cannons begotten by the Holy Spirit the day of Pentecost establish our Lords presence in His Church as High Priest and Mediator to His Father for each and everyone one, they ensure mans freedom, they were set forth to free man from his biggest tyranny that is sin, and they are aimed to set man free from his biggest tyrant who is the devil.

If Mama don't love her husband, Mama's love passes her ego and identity to her kids and it aint from the father God. Her Husband love should come from Christ to lead her out of that ego worldview that majority of mamas have.
A homeless apocalyptic rabbi who was arrested and condemned by his fellow religious zealots and unfortunately executed due to his challenging of Roman authority? Yeah thats a great lifestyle to teach to kids.
I am a Muslim. Many Christian did know we believe Jesus (PBUH) and Mohammad (PBUH) both are prophet. We believe every prophet is sinless and couldn't compare them, because every miracle done by Allah through his prophets and everyone followed god command. Please know Jesus from Christian and Muslim source, then compare which source is more reliable. You will find story of clay bird in gospel of Saint Thomas and Quran. Before discovering this gospel Christian said Quran lies about this story. This gospel discovered many centuries later than Quran rebuild. How Quran know that story. If you want to know about Mohammad (PBUH) please get it from Islamic source. And Christian have to know who is King James, because his name is in top cover of bible.
@Arabian Princess please read the verse carefully it said about Mistake (humanly error) not about sin. Mistake is unintentionally doing minor error. And sin is intentionally doing something god didn't like. Read the verse it didn't say you Mohammad sinned. He is the example for human, Allah commanded him teach us how pray forgiveness for own & other.
@Arabian Princess but Adam have no father or mother. You believe Adam came earth for his sin. Did you count eating a apple is sin. We believe Allah made human as his vicegerent in earth.
@Arabian Princess What was adams sin. Eating a apple. We believe human created to live life in earth as a test. If he pass will go heaven. If he fail will go hell. If he fail but die as a believer he will punished for some time in hell then he will go heaven. Quran 2:30
If I were talking to that girl I would simply point out that even mohamed Sid the Jesus was a prophet of God. Now by saying such a thing Kama mohammed put himself in a no win situation. And the reason being is because if mohammed told the truth that Jesus was a prophet of Allah or God, then we should listen to what that prophet had to say and what he said was that he alone is the way the truth and the life and no one comes unto the father or Allah/God but buy me. Now if that's the case that also means that mohammed is not the way to Allah or God. Now if Jesus was actually a false prophet then mohammad, Still proves that he is not the way to all or God because he confirmed Jesus as a prophet of God. Add if Jesus wasn't a prophet of God that means that mohammed was wrong and therefore his testimony cannot be trusted on anything. So either way mohammad disqualifies himself as a prophet of God 4 of Jesus is a true prophet of God then we need to heed Jesus words . Edit it turned out that Jesus was not a prophet of God then while we might not he Jesus words we certainly couldn't heed mohammad's words either since he confirmed Jesus was a prophet of God.
If god always acts in accordance with his nature (whatever that means), then he still must have more than one viable option that does not contradict his nature if he is to ''claim free will.'' Otherwise, he is a slave to his nature, like a robot, and not a free personal agent. What would the word "option" mean to a being who created all options? Some say that "free will" with god does not mean what it means with humans. But how are we to understand this? What conditions of free will would a christian scrap in order to craft a "free agency" for god? Multiple options? Desire? Freedom? Power? Potential to avoid? Perhaps desire could be jettisoned. Desire implies a lack, and a perfect being should lack nothing. But it would be a very strange "person" with no needs or desires. Desire is what prompts a choice in the first place. It also contributes to assessing whether the decision was reasonable. Without desire, choices are willy-nilly, and not true decisions at all. Besides, ''the biblical god expressed many desires.'' Basically this supposed god is RELYING on his ''faulty creations'' (the fall of adam & eve) to go around and CONVINCE each other that he exists, that's preposterous.!!! No objection saves the christian god, he does not exist. Perhaps a more modest deity can be imagined: one that is not both personal and all-knowing, both all-knowing and all-powerful, both perfect and free. But until a god is defined coherently, and then proven to exist with evidence and sound reasoning, it is sensible not to think that such a being exists. This guy is JUST expressing his own personal views and opinions, having said that, it DOES NOT mean he is right, at the END OF THE DAY, it's only his OPINIONS.!!! Maybe these STUDENTS should ask this question>>>> Let's start from the adam & eve story, if that can't be PROVEN beyond reasonable doubt with ''CREDIBLE'' evidence, barring anything that the bible CLAIMS and faith based, if one CANNOT get past there, the rewst of the story is rendered USELESS...... How ''convenient ''god is OUTSIDE SPACE and TIME'' well he should give proof that this supposed god is ''outside of space and time, do i think he can do that, not a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have jettisoned one key element of reality to make your arguments: gradation. God is a personal being transcendent to our current state, all terms like all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, have a context: this universe. The context isn’t our wildest imaginations, so as to confine God by conditions we know. For an analogy, think of a computer programmer who has programmed and tuned a computer simulation. The programmer has access to all-knowledge and completely controls everything, has all-power, relating to things inside the computer simulation. Beings inside the simulation have limited knowledge and are confined to the boundaries of the simulation. The evidence of the beginning of the universe leads us to reason about what is a sufficient cause for the order and design that now exists. An intelligence sufficient enough to make these conditions would be like a computer programmer creating a physics simulation in a computer but on a much grander and detailed scale. What is right and wrong is coded into reality, raw materials are available, and we decide with our agency what we do with them within the rules.
@@boltrooktwo I would have thought he would come ''sooner rather than later.?? Oh by the way there is two thousand one hundred years between the ZODIAC signs. I guess that's why the religious are calling ''LAST DAYS'' I read that Moses was at Mount Sinai, and saw the people worshipping Thr Golden calg/bull, that's the ZODIAC sign TAURUS, apparently he then smashed the tablet. And jesus befriende with fishermen and supposedly fed 5000 people with TWO FISH and 5 loafs of bread, hence the ZODIAC sign PISCES, just like the 2 fishes stickers you see on the back of peoples bumpers. Then the next AGE is AQUARIOUS Luke 22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. Hmm.... The bible was written by anonymous authors, The common view holds that the gospels were written by the apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (no surnames.?). However, none of the 4 Gospels specifies the author. They are all anonymous accounts. The tradition that the Gospels were written by the apostles was started only in 125 CE by the Bishop Papias. This means that the gospels are just texts written by people whom we do not know. There is no one to vouch for their correctness. Not written by eye witnesses. Luke The Gospel of Luke explicitly says that it is not written by an eye‐witness (Luke 1). It is not written by eye‐witnesses, neither the Old Testament nor the New Testament. Rather it is written by people whom we do not know, ALL ANECDOTAL at best.!! Also, the story of killing someone in order to make up for the imagined sins of someone else is already pretty weird in itself. This idea becomes even weirder when we consider the concept of trinity: God the father and jesus ARE ONE. Thus, god killed himself in order to make himself forgive. When jesus laments “My God, my god, why have you forsaken me?” [Bible / Matthew 27:46], he basically says “Myself, myself, why have I forsaken me?” This is completely absurd. Furthermore, if God is so just and kind, why can’t he just forgive without spilling his own blood? Yes, sending mself down and having the humans crucify me - that will satisfy me. I feel much better now. On a last note >>>>> ''Why does the supposed omnipotent (all powerful) Omniscient (all knowing) God, knowing that there are millions of men, women and children starving to death in a parched land, simply let them waste away and die when all that is needed is rain to grow their crops and avoid starvation'' ?? There are MANY VERSES IN THE BIBLE where God promises rain, but no rain is forth coming, and in the meantime millions are still dying of a slow AGONIZING, painful death due to starvation.??? Below are a few examples of you're supposed god where he PROMISES RAIN: Deuteronomy 11:14 He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil. Job 5:10 "He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields, Lev 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Zec 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, Isa 30:23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. Isaiah 45:8 "Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it. Deuteronomy 11:14 that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil. Job 5:10 "He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields, Psalm 147:8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. Deuteronomy 28:12 "The LORD will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. Deuteronomy 11:14 that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil. Matthew 5:45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Zechariah 10:1 Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain-- The LORD who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man. Yet there is no RAIN FORTHCOMING, this is an omnipotent God, all loving, merciful god.????
If you read the account in Genesis you will learn many things accurate to the context of this world. We are spiritual beings like Adam and Eve given bodies so that we may learn the difference between good and evil, make moral choices, and by our own experience learn what consequences there are to physical existence. A being with the power to create also has the power to destroy, a being who is vulnerable also knows that other beings are vulnerable as well, and a being with freewill can learn the consequences of success and failure. All our capacities were given to us by creation and without creation we have no capacity for physical experience. These truths are accurate to human existence and observable in general human psychology. The syllogism: I don’t like bad things. People do bad things. Therefore, God doesn’t exist. Doesn’t arrive at a rational conclusion. Everything rational points to God and the irrational points us away from God. This is a consequence of freewill and vulnerability. When we are behaving rationally we are in touch with our purpose, we have faith in ourselves and our day to day actions, and we can benefit from a growth mindset. In order to honor the dignity of human freewill God manifests differently in our lives according to our faith. Faith is our belief, our worldview, and our pathway within the unknown. God grants to us more and more of what we choose to believe in, if what we choose to believe in is out of touch with reality it causes havoc in reality. God orders and provides things like rain, wisdom, and renewing strength. The more we express to God we don’t want to listen, if we want to go our own way, God honors our request, we move farther away from the source of order, and more havoc erupts around us. Praying is a mental and spiritual exercise in using the power of words to organize the capacities of our mind to draw closer to God. Everything in this universe is not primarily composed of matter it is primarily composed of meaning, secondarily we identify some things as matter. Our observations are processed in our minds as meaning, our minds process language as a source of meaning, and we interact in relationships through meaning. When we interact with the many books of the Bible they are a source of accurate meaning irregardless of their authors. The authors are historically verifiable people who wrote in historical narrative but that isn’t the main concern when trying to grasp the meaning of their writings. When we process meaning from our experience we filter it through freewill mechanisms to either accept or deny that meaning toward confirming it as true or rejecting it as false. What we accept as true effects how we are oriented in the world and to be properly oriented in the world we need sufficient and effective meaning.
@@boltrooktwo The Earth is a tiny blue dot in this vast Cosmic dark, yet with all this vastness of billions upon billions, billions, trillions of stars, galaxies and planets that is estimated to be out there some god has anointed not only a TINY SPECK ''the earth'' but a small band of people in the desert to be the one's to past on the so called word of god to the universe. This is the definition of narcissism. The Bible IS the claim, not the proof! If not for the Bible, none of this Christianity nonsense would exist. The Bible is the whole reason we have this claim, period, it is not evidence of it, It's a CLAIM. Gravity doesn't exist because it was written in a book. A book DESCRIBES gravity and, if at any point, you'd like to retest it, you enter that thing called "reality" and you can re-demonstrate it. Nothing of religion can be demonstrated outside of that book and into reality. The crucial differences between scripture believing theists (of whatever hue) and those who take a scientific position. For the latter, the search for the truth is crucial. And since we aren't told the truth directly by "God" himself (whether he exists or not), we have to seek that truth ourselves. And the only way we can do that is observing/theorising/testing. It's never going to give us "absolute" truth, but in the absence of absolute truth, we have to go with that which we have the best evidence for. The theist on the other hand seems happy not to bother seeking the truth themselves. They just accept what they are spoonfed by whatever religion their family/community happen to hold, even if there is at best no evidence and at worst contrary evidence (eg the 6 day creation, Noah's flood etc). This is an argument from ignorance, based on your flawed assumptions. you have no understanding of the BURDON OF PROOF or how science actually works. Why has your hypothesis of religious events never been published or peer reviewed? You would have us believe that it is because of some great conspiracy by scientists to overlook your overwhelming evidence. The truth is you are spouting nonsense based purely on your own predetermined conclusions. You are taking your conclusion and trying to find evidence to support it, which is the opposite of how science works. Your level of comprehension is clearly below what is necessary to fully understand these comments. You are making fallacies in practically every step of your arguments. I actually feel sorry for you that you could be this ignorant about this subject and still think you have knowledge in it. The reason I DON"T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY is because all of your objections have already been dealt with by real science. Long ago. Only batshit crazy creationist shills still hold onto these arguments. You are either too blinded to understand the fallacies of your arguments, or are brainwashed beyond the point of being able to identify how to use logic correctly. If you did, you wouldn't be making the mistakes you are making over and over again. Also, you are completely misled. Evolution, is a fact, and is demonstrable in a multitude of ways. If you had even the most basic understanding of dna, mitochondria, and the nucleus of a cell you wouldn't be ignorant. Instead, you live in a world of ignorance and try to mask it with pseudoscience babble that has no meaning in the real world. If the creator of the universe were to communicate to mankind through a book, surely the book would be filled with spiritually uplifting and enlightening stories rather than the brutal and bloody tales contained in the Old Testament, and the NT> is not much better.!! It would be written in a language everyone could understand and be simple (''no you've taken it out of context bullshit''), straightforward and completely free of ambiguity without the need for interpretation by god's supposed "chosen" prophets. Why did god choose to reveal himself in an obscure corner of the middle east when he could have waited a couple of thousand years and reached billions through the medium of television or via the internet? I'm sorry, but the Bible is no more the "Word of God" than last week's edition of the Beezer. The very idea is an absolute joke. God is omniscient. When he created the universe, he saw the sufferings which humans would endure as a result of the sin of those original humans. He heard the screams of the damned. Surely he would have known that it would have been better for those humans to never have been born (in fact, the Bible says this very thing),??? and surely this all-compassionate deity would have foregone the creation of a universe destined to imperfection in which many of the humans were doomed to eternal suffering. A perfectly compassionate being who creates beings which he knows are doomed to suffer is ridiculous.!!!
@@robertsumners931 I am sorry that you have all the sudden become so accusing, cynical, and started labeling me with denigrating terms about my intelligence or that I have a mental illness. Sadly your behavior is very consistent with the rest of the nature worshippers and anti-theists I come across. Evolution is just the modern term for nature worship, evolution is a process in nature that you assume did everything to create the conditions of life and if there are answers you don’t have evidence for the great evolution/nature is responsible. If you were calm, polite, and had the capacity for reasonable persuasion you would be so much more credible and trustworthy but you aren’t, you are deliriously cynical, critical, and bullying instead. Your denigrating attacks are a veneer to cover your irrational belief system. Creation = eyewitnesses, Evolution = assumptions. One of my main reasons for having discussions with Anti-theists is to see how closely their speech mirrors the rhetoric of ancient pagan imperialists. You seem to like to mention groups or tribes of people and show dehumanizing prejudice to those people groups through expressions of cultural elitism. You have done that a few times here. The main focus of attack is to demean intelligence and suggest mental illness without any show of objective evidence. It’s far easier to justify aggressive actions against dehumanized imbalanced beings of lesser intelligence evolutionarily. You mentioned the behavior of animals, a symptom of nature worship, you in some ways find nature worthy to look to for answers. The main ethics we find in nature are the ethics of the top predator, might makes right, and tribal warfare. I notice more media these days that is set up to glorify the cunning killer and thief. Animals mainly compete through deception, stealing, and violence and the most successful ones are the ones that are best at it. Higher reasoning and honest integrity is not a value promoted by observing animals and nature. It wouldn’t satisfy the human weakness for dishonest arrogant dominance to identify with peaceful prey behavior. The rational standards of nature worthiness compared to the Hebrew God are easy to explain. God offers reason and standards to avoid dishonesty, stealing, and war. Nature doesn’t, it’s the pinnacle, the goal of nature is to be better at dishonesty, stealing, and war than others. Nature worship rationally leads to war, valuing people on the level of animals, and developing people without intellectual integrity while the Hebrew God leads to peace and developing moral integrity because you must respect the value and dignity of all people created in the image of God with greater moral value than animals. I study individuals anthropologically by what behavior their value systems produce. They are all rational human beings that have chosen individually their worldview but also have some conformity stemming from cultural pressure. So far on average the ethics of “might makes right”, “honor to the tribe”, “top predator”, “the value of a life is measured by comfort and convenience.”, and some others are making a big comeback among anti-theists. None of these ethics, if taken to their conclusions, could rationally produce a peaceful industrious free society in the reality we live in.
First of all, hundreds of first-hand witnesses (disciples) before and after His resurrection. Their testimony brought us the 4 gospels. Then the second-hand witnesses of what the disciples could do in Jesus's name (heal the sick, raise the dead, etc). Their witness was so profound that their life changed and they were faithful to Him unto death by persecution. So on and so forth, generation after generation. In today time, that chain of witnesses still continue. His believers are still being called into His kingdom either by direct encounter with Jesus or by witnessing to ones who had. The same profound evidence that can change people's life, from criminals into saints, from wretchedness into holiness. Please take your time and listen to their testimony.
@@duydatyds you have a book that claims these events...claims witnesses. We have no way to verify these ,witnesses" or if there were witnesses at all. We can't interview them. We can't corroborate what they allegedly said. We have witnessed today who say they've seen Elvis in a shopping mall There are plenty of people who have died, throughout history, for other people or other beliefs
You want an answer well here they are right from the Bible itself ... 1- Anna and Simon whom Jesus himself said were sinless and walked in perfection with god =..LUKE.1:6 ... Nathan was more forthright than Jesus because Nathan never lied =..JOHN.1:47.... king jotham of Israel who name actually means in Hebrew THE PERFECT GOD walked in absolute PERFECTION WITH GOD..= 2.CHRON.27:2-9 ... HEZEKIAH was called the greatest king before and after him which if you believe Jesus to be the jewish messiah therefore KING includes him ....read ... book of 2.KINGS.18:5 ... Enoch was taken up by god BODILY having never died because of his righteousness are you kidding me point being if you want to choose an individual to be divine on that criteria well then choose any one of these you like . God does not need to achieve or Pursue perfection it’s his genetic make up god naturally has what me Pursue

Cliff.....How do we know anything about the life, ministry and resurrection of JC? You are presenting the Bible as if it were some historical record. The Gospels ARE NOT written as histories by ancient historiographical standards. Because "a book says so" is not a reliable pathway to truth. The resurrection is perhaps the worst evidences and attested to event in the bible and Jesus is not even mentioned by contemporary historians, making his very existence dubious. You should spend more time with textual criticism of the "source document" so you can understand it before you pick up the megaphone. You clearly don't understand it from an academic perspective.
@@concernlast8354 I think you have a little term confusion when I say "standards". I am referring to how ancient people constructed prose and histories. The Gospels were not constructed to be read as historical accounts. There are many historical standards contemporary within the 1st century. Say perhaps Dionysius of Halicarnassus, or Suetonius in his Life of Augustus, or Thucydides in History of the Peloponnesian War, or Philo, Tacitus, even Josephus (although the testimonium is a later insertion). The the genre of ancient Greek and Latin historiography is very well studied. Ancient historical prose has a very distinct style, in which the historian often discusses the methodology of his research, the sources he consulted, the differences between multiple traditions about a person or event, and his judgment as an inquirer into past affairs. The genre of ancient historical prose has key features that are crucial to understanding which works belong to the category and why they are generally more trustworthy than sources that do not. It is not enough for a text to simply talk about things that took place in the past, even when the content deals with real people and locations. A historical text must further investigate and probe these matters, discussing the research process involved, so that it does not merely provide a story, but a plausible interpretation of what took place. As someone who studied ancient historical writing in the original Greek and Latin languages, it is clear to me that the Gospels are not historical writing. These texts instead read like ancient novelistic literature. In all but Luke, we do not hear anything about the written sources that the authors consulted, and even the author of Luke does not name them, explain their contents, or discuss how they are relevant as sources. The authors of the Gospels do not discuss how they learned their stories or what their personal relations are to these events, and even when John claims to have an eyewitness disciple "whom Jesus loved," the gospel does not even bother to name or identify this mysterious figure (most likely an invention of the author). Instead, the Gospels provide story-like narratives, where the authors omnisciently narrate everything that occurs rather than engage in any form of critical analysis. So.... the Gospels all fall short from the criteria that can be used to categorize a piece of historical prose.
I understand what u saying, what would you say if there's supernatural revelations? Cannot discount that as well right? However there's might be no way for us to see it as other ancient writing or current academic standards. Have ever heard vampire? Some say its fake some say its real? The quation is how on earth people mostly from every corner of the earth know this blood sucker before the internet? I know the standard you saying.. u want the CCTV like. It's can show you but can't tell u the smells..
@@concernlast8354 How can "supernatural revelation" be proven? No idea what a believe in Dracula has anything to do with this. That's a fable like Loch Ness, or Bigfoot, or Alien abductions. Dracula has been remodeled and re-packaged for centuries. These are just myths and symbols for a particular time in history. Take for example the fact that the vampire of 18th and 19th century literature, particularly English literature, is almost always an aristocrat. This is significant when a comparison is made to the earlier imagery from folklore, where the vampire is more often seen as a fellow peasant, perhaps a deceased member of the family who has died and who, through his or her plague and imagined stalkings in the night, drains the life from the other family members one by one. (In many cases, this proved to be a reasonable primitive explanation for a phenomenon now better explained by the germ theory of disease.) So, the nature of the vampire changed when its imagery was moved from folklore to literature. It changed because its audience was different. In such literature, produced by and for an emergent middle class, the vampire becomes a powerful symbol of the evils and absurdities of a predatory aristocracy -- a blood-sucking royalty, often linked by family ties to foreign governments, that feed off the labors of the middle and working classes. So, what had started out as a folkloric and superstitious way of explaining the human struggle against nature, now becomes a symbolic approach to looking at a particular class struggle, a battle the middle class was already winning.
THE NUMBER OF MUSLIMS WILL OUT NUMBER THE NUMBER OF CHRISTIANS? OK I GOT TWO SCRIPTURES THAT WILL BE SET. THIS TO BE OK. Matthew 7:13-14 KJV - Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:21-23 KJV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

'The evidence is that JC is more reliable than Muhammad' That is a ridiculous delusion. We don't know who wrote most of the NT. Christianity is more honestly Paulianity anyway.
That’s not his point. Regardless of who wrote it, what the bible says about Jesus is he is perfect and never sinned and he was God in the flesh. What the quaran/Hadith say about Mohammed is that he was not sinless. He married a 6 year old child and had sex with her aged 9, he raped women, he condoned beating your wife, and stuck his tongue down a child’s mouth. And before you accuse me of lying, please research all of these, then you tell me who was a more reliable and trust worthy person
@@HG-fs5fb Erm I think you view things through a Perverted sex obsessed way that many Paulians do. The sickness you talk about is in your hypocritical Paul inspired heart. And Muhammad, peace be on him, never encouraged genocide, rape and the killing of innocent children and animals. By your strange theology, you claim that Jesus, peace be on him, was sinless and peaceful, yet ordered all that. The fact is that you are a Perverted liar who prefers using dishonesty to support your Paul inspired theology (which explains your dishonesty) than to see the truth as it is. Muslims know the truth about the slanderous claims you make. But be warned. God promises to war with those that attack his prophets. By their fruits you shall know them. Paulians smh.

But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

He did not speak to me until we reached the market of Banu Qaynuqa'. He walked around it and looked. Then he left and I left with him until we reached the mosque. He sat down and wrapped himself in his garment. Then he said, 'Where is the little one? Call the little one to me.' Hasan came running and jumped into his lap. Then he put his hand in his beard.

@Paul Wieringa That's a lie my friend. To say that means you deny historical evidence, that means you can't trust that einstein existed, or william shakespeare. but why do you believe they existed, because history and documents tells us so. Thus, Jesus existed.
@Paul Wieringa A historian named Flavious Josephus, roman historians called pliny and tacitus, you can also read about emperor nero, he ruled around 50ad to 70ad and actually persecuted and killed christians for believing in Jesus.
Just because it's not there, doesn't mean he did sin. When the bible is silent on a subject, don't add to it (or take away from it). For example, the dinosaurs. The bible never really talks about the aliens, doesn't mean its for or against life on other planets. Don't add to it, when its silent.
Your either wasting your time here or your not. If you're not wasting your time, then its good for you. I'm glad you keep hearing the truth of the gospel
When you read the New Testament the holy spirit literally reaches out and grabs you and pulls you into the truth of Jesus Christ. As an ex-atheist, I was amazed at how shockingly powerful the words of Jesus were and once you hear His words how can anybody ever be the same? How can we not be moved? How can we not be born again? Jesus is awesome.
I used to be an agnostic atheist when i was 14. When i matured i became a Christian!
Aweeome! Absolutely
Glory to God.... Me too..
I was brought up apatheisitic. After I left home I studied Christianity with an open mind and found it to be at best ridiculous and at worst disgusting. You'd think if it was true it would open to all people. I will never believe in Christianity because it has such huge holes in it's sources.

@Paul Wieringa
And there is literally no evidence that suggests, let alone proves, that naturalism is or even could be true. While virtually no qualified historical scholars claim what you just did. _Double-standard + denial of the historical record? Brilliant!_
@@mitchellc4
So you continue to mindlessly paste and repeat... without bother to read what others say? The Bible warns against such silliness... (Proverbs 18:13) Preaching to the choir makes you look like a troll.
@Paul Wieringa
Didn't say you did mention 'N'aturalism, but what other option is there?
Sources outside the Bible? Numerous. And how do you know that denying his existence isn't merely bias? And the Bible is unreliable how exactly? Why should anyone believe that the most influential person who ever lived, never actually existed?
@Paul Wieringa
*"YOU USED THE WORD "NATURALISM" AND ATTRIBUTED TO ME."*
Absolutely. Are you claiming to have faith in something outside of nature regarding the origins of everything?
*"THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS."*
So what's the problem? You're a blind faith believer. So why the double-standard? You have literally no empirically verifiable scientific evidence for your faith, and you arbitrarily reject all the evidence that supports the Christian faith. Why?
*"WHAT "SOURCES OUTSIDE THE BIBLE?" NAME SOME..."*
Sure, but you don't get to change the rules just because your bluff has been called. For starters, there are the independent gospel accounts, found in the Bible. So that's 4 right there. Then you have at least half a dozen others...
*"...EARLY FIRST CENTURY."*
Can you do the same for any historical figure from antiquity? You know, the time of Christ or earlier? Or is this more double-standard stuff?
*"BECAUSE THE ONLY EVIDENCE FOR HIM IS IN THE BIBLE."*
And what IS the Bible, Paul?
*"YES THE BIBLE IS UNRELIABLE."*
You're going to have to be more specific...
*"HAVE A READ IF YOU DARE."*
Why? Is it less stupid than you are being right now? Can you give me 3 good reasons why you embrace naturalism and 3 good reasons why you believe that humanism is true?
Jesus is Lord
@Paul Wieringa Because of the lack of good reasons to think he did?
Absence of evidence is only evidence of absence when there's good reason to expect the thing to have left evidence that we'd have found already.
Jesus could have existed (a naturalistic Jesus: with lots of supernatural stories merely told about him), and left no evidence that I'd expect we'd definitely have found. He could have vanished into history without a trace, like most people did.
I see this as basically on par with him not existing, equally likely.
@Paul Wieringa *"sure if he was just an average guy"*
- I'm only suggesting him being an average guy, me being an atheist. So that does sound like a concession to me.
So when you said "Jesus didn't exist", did you mean God-Jesus?
You didn't mean to insist that that some stories weren't based on a real average guy, who got mythologized about?
@Paul Wieringa I've come to the idea of all that you are very lonely and maybe you really are seeking Christ and you don't realize it maybe it's subjective maybe it's not maybe it's subconsciously in your mind you really want to know Christ I don't know. But you're on almost every single feed just trying to put forth doubt against other people who are believers again, I don't mind you asking questions because you're searching even if you're an atheist I don't mind the questions because you're searching that's what you should do Karma however just to belligerently continue to attack Christ and other people who believe because you have either some dark feeling about it or doubt or whatever you should be here so you choose to go don't say the evidence is on us it's actually on you in this situation thank you.
He doesn't just offer grace and leave us in our Sins. He offers His WORD implanted in the good soil of our hearts, which is able to transform us.
Love how Cliffe speaks about 'our value'. Society and culture suggest that we are 'rich' if we have the job, the success, the money etc. But within the topic of Jesus we are 'richer'. Jesus is what makes us rich regardless of what we have or what we don't have. Good call!

Jesus reveals that to people, but not all people. He has a chosen people, his sheep, he laid his life down for his sheep. Nobody will, because of our sinful nature, even desire God, we lost that in the fall. No man CAN come to me unless it has been granted by the Father. John 6:65
@@timothydodenhoff1068 I hear you. This brings insight. Allow me to share. I do not think that His sheep refers to specific people like you or me. I think it refers to a people with a particular mindset, with people who are open to hear, study and genuinely consider and accept Christ. Which is why Jesus reveals His word to everybody, He has no favorites, but like in the parable of the mustard seed, it depends on the soil (persons mindset) that it falls on. Jesus also says 'he who has ears let him hear'. His message is for everyone. God does not work with favorites, He works with the willing. The old testament brings light to the fact that even when God had a chosen group of people like the Israelites or a specific person like Moses, they often failed God and so Jesus came because we are all plagued by sin, none is special and so the forgivness and the chance to be redeemed and be that special people is offered to all. Even in the parable of the wedding feast, it shows how God did have a chosen people represneted by the people a king exclusively invited to a wedding feast but they ignored His call and turned away from Him. Some of His chosen even kill the servants that were sent to call them and God punishes them. He then sends more of His servants to call everyone and anyone from the street corner since His chosen have refused the call, it says 'they went and called eveyone, good and bad'. When they all come the king finds a man that snuck into the feast without proper attire and when questioned was silent, he was then thrown away and it ends with the statememt 'many are invited but few are chosen'. This goes to show that God invites all (through His word and dying for our sins) but you must do your part to wear the right attire for the feast, that right attire is the acceptance of Jesus' forgiveness as your Lord and savior and to turn away from sin which can only be done by His help. Otherwise not even the word will help you. This also shows just because you act religious and read your bible doesn't earn you a seat at the feast.
@@Kimkong2 so let's throw out all the verses, and there are very, very many of them, that refer to the elect, my sheep, I do Not pray for the world, but those you have given me for they are yours, chosen before the foundation of the World. No one, by nature wants God, there us none who seeks for God, no not one. No one CAN ( ability) come to be unless it has been granted by my Father. John 6:65. All the Father gives me WILL come to me. You do not believe ( obviously prior to faith ) BECAUSE you are not of my sheep. Your insight does not make you a sheep, you are a lost sheep found by the Shepherd. He's not looking for goats . it's our pride that makes us think we have anything to do with it. Faith- a gift. Repentance- a gift. We cannot lift a finger unless God enables us to do so. Our wills, by nature have no inclination towards God, he has to make is alive to respond, as he did Lydia Acts 16:14 - The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's words, why not the other women with her? As many as were appointed to eternal life- this is first- believed. Acts 13:48. Romans 9. It's not hard it's all over the new test. In almost every letter, and in ALL the gospels, regarding chosen, revealing, drawing, ect. So God gets ALL the Glory, man no credit, whatsoever. even when Jesus commends people for believing, God gives the desire for it. Not of him who runs or of him who wills, but God, who has mercy. If you don't believe in Election you don't believe in grace, even though you think you do. Not of yourselves ( in any way ) it is ( entirely) the gift of God. And he doesn't do it because some people are in a better frame than others. Otherwise they sorta contribute somehow, and we know they do not, at all. Even the willingness comes from God, and God doesn't hope people come, he ensure jis people will. I lose none of All he has given Me! None. Christ did not waste a drop of blood for those in hell. Not a drop. Hebrews 10:14 He HAS by one offering, perfected forever- those who are being sanctified- not for those who are not. The offering is only for them. Not a potential salvation, but a Savior who actually does save in that death he died.

@@Kimkong2 God has to give the willingness, what sir, do you believed happen to man's inclination towards God, after the fall. He turns away, hates God, loves sin, and unless God intervenes in his soul he will always be that way, although in different manifestations in different people. If you can read the New Test. and tell me he doesn't choose certain people and not others, I don't know what Bible you're reading or your neglecting many verses that clearly say so.
@@timothydodenhoff1068 Yes but you have to ALLOW Him to. Thats my point. And everyone has the free will to do so. If man had no ability or free will to accept Christ then why did He come in the first place, He could just force everyone to accept or send everyone to hell. I did NOT say you have to find God on your own or even can. What i said is you have to do your part in terms of accepting and if you don't accept either eek more or its your onw fault. Even James says faith without action is dead. This does not mean we have anything to do with our being saved, but certainly we have to genuinely accept what Christ did for us. I can forgive you all i want if you wronged me, but if you did not think you did anything wrong in the first place then it doesn't matter to you. This is why the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy to the Holy spirit, because the Holy spirit calls on ALL man, is you reject it and ignore it all your life and until you die (blasphemy) then this sin is unforgivable because like you said, God doesn't want goats. My whole point is, EVERYONE gets the mesage, God does not hide His grace from anyone, His mercy and forgiveness is for ALL. Whether you accept it is now up to you. He will keep knocking until the end of time. There aren't special people, because like we have already established NONE is good but God. So i have no pride and neither do i think anybody deserved forgiveness but God gave it anyway, all He requires from us is to believe in Him. That takes a free will to accept or reject. So when Jesus says His sheep, He means those who willingly accept Him or seek Him, not some special people somewhere in the world who are the only ones who will be saved. Even those with faith as little as a mustard seed. NOBODY who goes to hell or heaven is forced to. We all choose. Salvation is for ALL but not all choose it.
God Bless Cliffe and his family :)

Would have loved to see your explanation on the last question. I think a good way to put it is how Frank Turek does; "Why do bad things happen?" or "Why does god allow evil?" Someone brought up how can there be a God if Nazis were able to kill millions of jews, or Stalin, or Mao, etc. The answer to my understanding was that this life is temporary, God gave us free will, humans do evil, and there is a judgement day for our sins. "But what about the people who died?" Well, if they accepted Jesus, they went to a better place. "Well what about children and babies? They never got a chance to learn" God is the ultimate being of justice, he won't allow unforgiven sinners into heaven, and he wont allow people who never had a chance to know him go to Hell.
I had the same question about babies who pass in the womb or early life, wouldnt it be better that they didnt have the chance to sin against god and risk their eternal life? What really happens to those babies. It seems weird that some of us have to live this life learning all its lesson and hopefully eventually accepting christ while some who never get a chance just get to go to heaven for eternity.

Dear Paul
The words "knowing you" in [John 17:3] mean "knowing you" PERSONALLY and not philosophically as peole do when reading about Lord Jesus in the Holy Bible!
This was/is the primary concern of the Church the first 30-40 years! The Church was created as a theraputic institution in order to purfy the heart of man enabling him this way to the presence of His Creador God! [Mathew5:8] “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God”
There are those today that LOVE Him who live in not so distant places (Mount Athos) that have a real-life person to Person relationship with Lord Jesus!
These humble words that are shared with brotherly love and respect, point out to the kind of relationship man was made to have with our Lord Jesus Christ. The following paragraphs, where taken from the book of Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos Entreaty” (Paraklitika), and it is a knowledge that must be shared with all those who have Lord Jesus Christ as their Heavenly Father.
“Those who have made their selves worthy to see God are the True Theologians. Saint Gregorios the Theologian taught that those who saw God like Apostle Paul can safely theologize, because the sight of God cleanse them from all fantasy, and renders them, true preachers of the truth, making them explicitly different from philosophers and philosophies”.
This is how the Saints describe their personal experience
“UNDER CONDITIONS OF CONTINUED PRAYER AND UPWARD EXTENSION THAT HAVE AS CLIMAX THE UNION WITH GOD, MAN IS POSSESSED ENTIRELY FROM LIGHT OF DIVINE GLORY THAT IS SEND FOURTH ETERNALLY FROM THE TRIAD. AFTER THE MIND IS SEIZED FROM THE DIVINE LIGHT AND ENTERS THE LIGHT IT BECOMES ITS SELF-LIGHT. THUS LIKE LIGHT, IT SEES LIGHT”
If Salvation does not include the return to the presence of God from this here life..what good is it?
The vision of Divine Light
This is what Lord Jesus told St. Symeon when He became worthy to His presence in His Divine Light.
“It is me, God, Who became man for you; and behold that I have made you, as you see, and shall make you god”.

WHO IS LORD JESUS?
Revelation 21:6] “Lord Jesus Christ is the ALPHA and the OMEGA, the CAUSE of the CREATIONAL BEGINNING, the CAUSATION OF CREATION, the SUPREME and UPMOST PURPOSE FOR ALL CREATIONS
The purpose of the godlike beings is one: to become gradually perfect as God the Father to become "a god by Grace" , to attain Theosis, Deification, Christificication , Trinification.

Isn't it scary that so many kids are adamant about their thoughts and beliefs but have little or no facts and have never actually studied the evidence? Those that have tried to read it and study it had no guidance to help them understand what is being taught and put it in the correct context. Seems to me they are going on what other people have told them. Which is misinformation. What's worse is that the actions and decisions they make in life are totally based on incorrect information. "Scary"
" Mohamed might be pure for a Muslim "... 4:40 . She obviously has not researched his life. The majority of Muslims learn about Mohamed form their sheikhs and Imams. If they were to study the Koran and the Hadiths, many would be shocked.

Right on Jacob
Thanks Paul long time no chat I've been on some of the other threads trying to help other Christians defend positions for Christ or just Christ in general the same usual atheist run they're doing their thing.
@@godislove363 Hi Jacob yes its been a while. Good to get your post. If we say its an honour and a privilege to defend the Lord’s name as you are doing on those other threads, we are saying a great truth. You’re onto it. Keep up the good work brother. 👍🙏🍀
@@godislove363 I think that true success as a believer comprises of believing that God has got our back.
This is an art form of believing,
because we have to believe that if we are crossing the sea of difficulties, be it on a sea worthy craft or even a life raft that’s at the mercy of the sea, wind and waves, we must believe the truth.
What is the truth?
The truth is that it’s God who is running the show. He knows exactly what’s going on. He is acutely aware of our circumstances. And that’s comforting to know. He is allowing and disallowing. And if it’s our turn to go down the plug hole then ok so be it. God knows best.
We might think that God didn’t have the backs of the martyrs facing the lions in the Colosseum. Scary huh.
Yep He sure did.
He was with them all the way along with the holy angels breathing peace into them.
What a trial.
God knows best.
We put forward our best foot but ultimately it’s God’s plan for our life that’s going to override our plan if it’s in opposition to His great plan.
Hence sometimes God over shadows our rudder with his superior steering mechanism, and heads us in directions we don’t want to go.
Joseph didn’t appreciate being sold into slavery.
Nor did he like being thrown in the slammer.
But he liked becoming the top man.
And running Egypt.
God knew best.
Let’s trust Him.
In God we trust.

It is amazing that the young man was upset about children dying in Africa, but completely missed that abortions are legal here in America. Therefore, who really has the better life: Children born into a bad circumstance but has the opportunity to make a better life. Or killing an unborn child so that it won’t hinder you from having a better/carefree life? They really don’t think carefully through their thoughts.
Young students haven't lived, observed, made decisions and tried to live with them. They aren't told the truth and don't get real news. I looked up when the fetal heartbeat is first detected in the womb because of the arguments people were giving me that they thought were valid.
A child in the womb has a detectable heartbeat as early as the fifth week of gestation. That's not what young people were told when I was listening to supposed science. I heard false claims of "just a blob of cells" or not yet a human life.
I watched a surgery where the tiny hand gripped the surgeons finger. Best it could get a grip. There's a person inside his mother waiting to enter the world. His existence is different inutero, but he exists, feels and hears what's outside the womb.

ISIS a misinterpretation of Muhammad? What cliff are you joking also the people who did 911 did it because of Islam and if you read the Quran it points to why they did it
Exactly, I respect Cliffe but Cliffe is bending the knee to both camps: both Christ and the world on this particular issue, among few others. Please consider this Cliffe. Please re-evaluate your apologetics on this particular issue.
Someones interpretation is not a source he just saying to look at the source. Culture brainwashing is real and we must break from culture
@@jessieeeperez Hi. True, but Cliffe is still compromising on this particular issue, because ISIS _is_ fueled by very accurate interpretations of the Quran, like Surah 9:5 which commands Allah's followers to kill the infidel 'idolaters' or otherwise those who worship other gods, including the followers of Jesus Christ;
"Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." Surah 9:5 ...
In contrast, Jesus Christ commands His followers to, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do Good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Matthew 5:44 Best, Robert LearnChristianity.org
U can tell in cliff speech that he was aware of isis beliefs and I'm betting he knew or had an idea of what they believe, but sometime have to use wisdom to say the right thing to someone, so u might not offend others because he was trying drive home another point, and if u offend someone at that moment. In their anger they may not listen anymore missing some very value information. Now once u got ur point across, then u can address the elephant in the room in more accurate detail
Yeah, allah said to muhommad ' I will make you victorious by TERROR' .
Didn't really answer the last question. The students might not have been ready for the answer. Bad things do happen to good people. Every human being has been put on earth to glorify God. You might have 100+ years to glorify Him or you might have 1 day. Nonetheless, that's why we are here. There are starving people EVERYWHERE! Help them when and if you can but pray for them when you can't. These people are all young. If starving children in Africa (or anywhere) are tugging at your soul go there and help them.
"Help them when and if you can"
-- This motivation is actually the basis for the problem of evil, isn't it? That God doesn't seem to be doing that to his full extent. We see lots of bad things that happen which we are unable to help in, but could have helped if we had God's properties. (It seems the right thing for any caring being to do. So if there's a caring God, why do car crashes happen.)
where is the rest of this???

@Paul Wieringa There were 1400 Scholars in His time wrote about the life and teachings of Lord Jesus
!
There is no other person in history talked about as much as Lord Jesus Christ. There were 1400 scholars that were present that wrote about Him His Life and His miracles. None of His miracles were ever questioned because there were always too many people present.
There is an certain fact left out when curing the blind man (like many others) that the Holy Fathers did not put in the Holy Bible when separating and delivering to the world the correct books of the Holy Bible in the year 149 AC for it was one of the miracles that would have been doubted/be questioned by many. The blind He healed man was (aomatos) meaning ~he did not have any eyeballs~ Lord Jesus spits on the ground and with the mud he...He .CREATES THE EYES OF THE BLIND MAN! How can an ordinary man could have created the eyes of a man that did not have eyeballs? How does the Church know this for a fact? Lazarus the resurrected friend of Lord Jesus was a Cyprus bishop here for 30 years before dying the second time! He told us!

A letter from Pilatos to Tiberius about Lord Jesus Christ
If someone wants to get a more realistic description of Christ they can read the letter of Pilatos to Tiberius which gives a very presize discription of Christ! (in Greek). There were 1450 scholars that were present those times who wrote about Him His Life and His miracles. None of His miracles were ever questioned because there were always too many people present when they were taking place. This is why nothing from His life or teachings were ever changed by anyone in the Holy Bible! The Church created by the Apostles was present in the world AS A SINGLE CHURCH the first 1054 years of Christianity. The Greek Orthodox Church is that ancient Church present today. According to Pilatos letter, Lord Jesus was very handsome, his hair was red like his face had a rose-white color and he continues to on to say that the light on his face seems to come out from the sun it is so bright that no one is able to see it.
The letter to Platus (in Greek righ click to English please)

Lord Jesus did not come to bring a new philosophy on earth but to remake man into a new creation a godman part man part god by the Grace of God! For this, He created the Church as a therapeutic institution to cure man from sin to enable him this way back to the presence of his Creator God!

Please compare the text of Bible with Quran about Jesus and his mother Mary.
17:29 so from what he said, there has to be a mind, before the mind that operates through chemical to desire to do anything.
so the mind before the mind that operates through chemical and then enacts that desire through the body, that mind must first desire to do something so the chemicals can operate and do the desire of the prior mind.
It's like he's trying to force the brain into a soda pop can.
The brain isn't just chemical It's also, grey matter and electrical signals.
As Christians we just believe those electrical signals are operated by the soul, a body without brain signals, no electrical impulses, is an empty shell, no soul, no mind, only a complex biological machine our souls operate, that is still a glorified creation of God, with purpose.
And that ot being glorified, will come with us, in the rapture.

Cliff love your work and your ministry it is inspirational but please stop telling these young people that ISIS misrepresents Islam as outlined already by some comments below which include accurate references.

@Rejoicing Son
Good videos? _I agree!_ But do I troll people relentlessly like Bonnie/Tom does? (New threads, same question.) _Your opinion will be taken into consideration!_
Tom is not a troll but a basic agnostic/atheist. I was there myself before i came to know God therefore i understand him well.
He wont change unless God touches his heart and God can touch his heart through other christians. So calling him troll is not right thing to do, trolls are deliberately causing annoyance in people by going off topics and so on, Tom simply states what he believes and how he sees the right from wrong.
Also, the reason why he asks the same questions is because he does not get a comprehensive or satisfying answers.
@@nikokapanen82
Tom is a troll. He's been trolling for years... A decade actually. But yes, we are all praying for him! And if we are doing so poorly, well, have you attempted to give him "comprehensive or satisfying answers"? After all, you "understand him well," right? Some tips? A little help maybe? Ever wonder why no agnostic/atheist ever makes the case FOR their own position? It is because it is impossible - there simply are no "comprehensive or satisfying answers" when it comes to a naturalistic worldview. _So who are the ones practicing a blind faith?_
@@jessebryant9233
I lived as an agnostic for most of my life, continually asking believers the same questions, like you know, some proof for Gods existence and never got any because no person can, only when God gave me a powerful spiritual experience i got serious and began to ask God himself, directly, is He real or not and reading the Gospel and eventually God did it, He revealed himself to me.
That is what i wish for Tom to happen, some strong touch of Gods hand to his heart and mind, so he would feel it that it is not a joke.
@@nikokapanen82
And yet, back then, you, just like Tom, had no good reason to believe that naturalism is or even could be true. One is refusing to believe, the other is blind faith. Yeah, if a person is not seeking the Truth or isn't willing to accept the Truth - then no amount of evidence is enough. But there is plenty of proof. In fact, it is axiomatic. It's all right there isn Romans 1...

These poor kids think they have better lives because they are comfortable and have possessions that mom n dad gave them. They are sadly mistaken, they just have more conveniences that make many tasks easier.

LORD JESUS DOES IT ALL in His Body the Church created by the Holy Spirit the day of Pentecost!
[Ephesians 1: 22 - 23]
22 And he put all things in subjection under his feet. And this glorious Lord made him head of the Church, above all. 23 And this Church is his body, the complement of Christ, as a man and as the head of the Church; of Christ, who as infinite God fills everything with his omnipresent presence and grants everything to all his creations.
Holy Baptism which describes a (Union with God) can not possibly take place without Divine intervention Canons (RULES)
Let us first pay real attention to what the Holy Bible says to what takes place during Baptism. [Galatians 3:27] “You were baptized into union with Christ, and now you are clothed, with the life of Christ himself”. As you can clearly see Baptism describes ~union with God~ The main question we must ask our selves here is “who was able to inform man as to the way by which Christ will accept to be UNIDED with men and women? Would it be the know how of man …. or would it be it the Holy Spirit (God) Himself?
This is why the Holy Spirit delivered to the Apostles 85 Holy Apostolic Canons that include~ the WILL of God ~ for the way man would unite with Christ during Baptism and be able to be clothed, with the life of Christ himself”.
Cannons of the Orthodox Church www.holytrinitymission.org/books/english/cannons_apostles_rudder.htm
These Holy Apostolic Cannons begotten by the Holy Spirit the day of Pentecost establish our Lords presence in His Church as High Priest and Mediator to His Father for each and everyone one, they ensure mans freedom, they were set forth to free man from his biggest tyranny that is sin, and they are aimed to set man free from his biggest tyrant who is the devil. Most of the Apostles became Bishops in order to go around the world and create Churches and Baptize (union with God) in the name of the Farther the Son and the Holy Spirit! Lazarus the resurected friend of Lord Jesus became the first Bishop here in Cyprus the second Church created after the one in Jerusalem.

The Church is not a building, it is the BODY OF CHRIST The Church is not an human made organization, but a living god man organism that is Divine.
This is how Paul verifies that the Church is the Body of Christ! [Colossians 1: 24] “Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
After His ascension Lord Jesus (God Logos) became the "head of the body the Church" and high priest enabling those baptized and receiving the Holy Spirit with in TO BE REDEEMED FROM ALL SIN, to purify the hearts (only God can forgive sins) and become MEMBERS OF HIS BODY!

www.holytrinitymission.org/books/english/cannons_apostles_rudder.htm
1st canon 1. A Bishop must be ordained by two or three other Bishops. The word Bishop primarily and properly is applied, in the divine and holy Scriptures, to God, who supervises and oversees all things in the universe
2nd canon 2. A Presbyter must be ordained by a single Bishop, and so must a Deacon and other Clergymen.
3rd Canon How to prepare Holy Communion .
THE APOSTLES WERE RAISED TO HEAVENLY MYSTICS (PRIESTS) FOR THE SALVATION OF MAN

God bless
If Mama don't love her husband, Mama's love passes her ego and identity to her kids and it aint from the father God. Her Husband love should come from Christ to lead her out of that ego worldview that majority of mamas have.
A homeless apocalyptic rabbi who was arrested and condemned by his fellow religious zealots and unfortunately executed due to his challenging of Roman authority? Yeah thats a great lifestyle to teach to kids.
I am a Muslim. Many Christian did know we believe Jesus (PBUH) and Mohammad (PBUH) both are prophet. We believe every prophet is sinless and couldn't compare them, because every miracle done by Allah through his prophets and everyone followed god command.
Please know Jesus from Christian and Muslim source, then compare which source is more reliable. You will find story of clay bird in gospel of Saint Thomas and Quran. Before discovering this gospel Christian said Quran lies about this story. This gospel discovered many centuries later than Quran rebuild. How Quran know that story.
If you want to know about Mohammad (PBUH) please get it from Islamic source.
And Christian have to know who is King James, because his name is in top cover of bible.
@Arabian Princess please read the verse carefully it said about Mistake (humanly error) not about sin.
Mistake is unintentionally doing minor error. And sin is intentionally doing something god didn't like.
Read the verse it didn't say you Mohammad sinned. He is the example for human, Allah commanded him teach us how pray forgiveness for own & other.
@Arabian Princesssee bible contradictions (not from Islamic source) www.atheists.org/activism/resources/biblical-contradictions/
@Arabian Princess please contact any Islamic scholar or imam.
@Arabian Princess but Adam have no father or mother.
You believe Adam came earth for his sin. Did you count eating a apple is sin.
We believe Allah made human as his vicegerent in earth.
@Arabian Princess What was adams sin. Eating a apple.
We believe human created to live life in earth as a test.
If he pass will go heaven. If he fail will go hell. If he fail but die as a believer he will punished for some time in hell then he will go heaven.
Quran 2:30
If I were talking to that girl I would simply point out that even mohamed Sid the Jesus was a prophet of God. Now by saying such a thing Kama mohammed put himself in a no win situation. And the reason being is because if mohammed told the truth that Jesus was a prophet of Allah or God, then we should listen to what that prophet had to say and what he said was that he alone is the way the truth and the life and no one comes unto the father or Allah/God but buy me. Now if that's the case that also means that mohammed is not the way to Allah or God. Now if Jesus was actually a false prophet then mohammad, Still proves that he is not the way to all or God because he confirmed Jesus as a prophet of God. Add if Jesus wasn't a prophet of God that means that mohammed was wrong and therefore his testimony cannot be trusted on anything. So either way mohammad disqualifies himself as a prophet of God 4 of Jesus is a true prophet of God then we need to heed Jesus words . Edit it turned out that Jesus was not a prophet of God then while we might not he Jesus words we certainly couldn't heed mohammad's words either since he confirmed Jesus was a prophet of God.
If god always acts in accordance with his nature (whatever that means), then he still must have more than one viable option that does not contradict his nature if he is to ''claim free will.'' Otherwise, he is a slave to his nature, like a robot, and not a free personal agent. What would the word "option" mean to a being who created all options?
Some say that "free will" with god does not mean what it means with humans. But how are we to understand this? What conditions of free will would a christian scrap in order to craft a "free agency" for god? Multiple options? Desire? Freedom? Power? Potential to avoid?
Perhaps desire could be jettisoned. Desire implies a lack, and a perfect being should lack nothing. But it would be a very strange "person" with no needs or desires. Desire is what prompts a choice in the first place. It also contributes to assessing whether the decision was reasonable. Without desire, choices are willy-nilly, and not true decisions at all. Besides, ''the biblical god expressed many desires.'' Basically this supposed god is RELYING on his ''faulty creations'' (the fall of adam & eve) to go around and CONVINCE each other that he exists, that's preposterous.!!!
No objection saves the christian god, he does not exist. Perhaps a more modest deity can be imagined: one that is not both personal and all-knowing, both all-knowing and all-powerful, both perfect and free. But until a god is defined coherently, and then proven to exist with evidence and sound reasoning, it is sensible not to think that such a being exists.
This guy is JUST expressing his own personal views and opinions, having said that, it DOES NOT mean he is right, at the END OF THE DAY, it's only his OPINIONS.!!! Maybe these STUDENTS should ask this question>>>> Let's start from the adam & eve story, if that can't be PROVEN beyond reasonable doubt with ''CREDIBLE'' evidence, barring anything that the bible CLAIMS and faith based, if one CANNOT get past there, the rewst of the story is rendered USELESS...... How ''convenient ''god is OUTSIDE SPACE and TIME'' well he should give proof that this supposed god is ''outside of space and time, do i think he can do that, not a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have jettisoned one key element of reality to make your arguments: gradation. God is a personal being transcendent to our current state, all terms like all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, have a context: this universe. The context isn’t our wildest imaginations, so as to confine God by conditions we know. For an analogy, think of a computer programmer who has programmed and tuned a computer simulation. The programmer has access to all-knowledge and completely controls everything, has all-power, relating to things inside the computer simulation. Beings inside the simulation have limited knowledge and are confined to the boundaries of the simulation. The evidence of the beginning of the universe leads us to reason about what is a sufficient cause for the order and design that now exists. An intelligence sufficient enough to make these conditions would be like a computer programmer creating a physics simulation in a computer but on a much grander and detailed scale. What is right and wrong is coded into reality, raw materials are available, and we decide with our agency what we do with them within the rules.
@@boltrooktwo I would have thought he would come ''sooner rather than later.?? Oh by the way there is two thousand one hundred years between the ZODIAC signs. I guess that's why the religious are calling ''LAST DAYS'' I read that Moses was at Mount Sinai, and saw the people worshipping Thr Golden calg/bull, that's the ZODIAC sign TAURUS, apparently he then smashed the tablet. And jesus befriende with fishermen and supposedly fed 5000 people with TWO FISH and 5 loafs of bread, hence the ZODIAC sign PISCES, just like the 2 fishes stickers you see on the back of peoples bumpers. Then the next AGE is AQUARIOUS Luke 22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. Hmm.... The bible was written by anonymous authors,
The common view holds that the gospels were written by the apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (no surnames.?). However, none of the 4 Gospels specifies the author. They are all anonymous accounts. The tradition that the Gospels were written by the apostles was started only in 125 CE by the Bishop Papias. This means that the gospels are just texts written by people whom we do not know. There is no one to vouch for their correctness. Not written by eye witnesses. Luke The Gospel of Luke explicitly says that it is not written by an eye‐witness (Luke 1). It is not written by eye‐witnesses, neither the Old Testament nor the New Testament. Rather it is written by people whom we do not know, ALL ANECDOTAL at best.!! Also, the story of killing someone in order to make up for the imagined sins of someone else is already pretty weird in itself. This idea becomes even weirder when we consider the concept of trinity: God the father and jesus ARE ONE. Thus, god killed himself in order to make himself forgive. When jesus laments “My God, my god, why have you forsaken me?” [Bible / Matthew 27:46], he basically says “Myself, myself, why have I forsaken me?” This is completely absurd. Furthermore, if God is so just and kind, why can’t he just forgive without spilling his own blood? Yes, sending mself down and having the humans crucify me - that will satisfy me. I feel much better now.
On a last note >>>>> ''Why does the supposed omnipotent (all powerful) Omniscient (all knowing) God, knowing that there are millions of men, women and children starving to death in a parched land, simply let them waste away and die when all that is needed is rain to grow their crops and avoid starvation'' ?? There are MANY VERSES IN THE BIBLE where God promises rain, but no rain is forth coming, and in the meantime millions are still dying of a slow AGONIZING, painful death due to starvation.??? Below are a few examples of you're supposed god where he PROMISES RAIN:
Deuteronomy 11:14
He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
Job 5:10
"He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields,
Lev 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Zec 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds,
Isa 30:23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Isaiah 45:8 "Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
Deuteronomy 11:14
that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
Job 5:10
"He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields,
Psalm 147:8
Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
Deuteronomy 28:12
"The LORD will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
Deuteronomy 11:14
that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
Matthew 5:45
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Zechariah 10:1
Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain-- The LORD who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.
Yet there is no RAIN FORTHCOMING, this is an omnipotent God, all loving, merciful god.????
If you read the account in Genesis you will learn many things accurate to the context of this world. We are spiritual beings like Adam and Eve given bodies so that we may learn the difference between good and evil, make moral choices, and by our own experience learn what consequences there are to physical existence. A being with the power to create also has the power to destroy, a being who is vulnerable also knows that other beings are vulnerable as well, and a being with freewill can learn the consequences of success and failure. All our capacities were given to us by creation and without creation we have no capacity for physical experience. These truths are accurate to human existence and observable in general human psychology.
The syllogism: I don’t like bad things. People do bad things. Therefore, God doesn’t exist. Doesn’t arrive at a rational conclusion.
Everything rational points to God and the irrational points us away from God. This is a consequence of freewill and vulnerability. When we are behaving rationally we are in touch with our purpose, we have faith in ourselves and our day to day actions, and we can benefit from a growth mindset. In order to honor the dignity of human freewill God manifests differently in our lives according to our faith. Faith is our belief, our worldview, and our pathway within the unknown. God grants to us more and more of what we choose to believe in, if what we choose to believe in is out of touch with reality it causes havoc in reality. God orders and provides things like rain, wisdom, and renewing strength. The more we express to God we don’t want to listen, if we want to go our own way, God honors our request, we move farther away from the source of order, and more havoc erupts around us. Praying is a mental and spiritual exercise in using the power of words to organize the capacities of our mind to draw closer to God.
Everything in this universe is not primarily composed of matter it is primarily composed of meaning, secondarily we identify some things as matter. Our observations are processed in our minds as meaning, our minds process language as a source of meaning, and we interact in relationships through meaning. When we interact with the many books of the Bible they are a source of accurate meaning irregardless of their authors. The authors are historically verifiable people who wrote in historical narrative but that isn’t the main concern when trying to grasp the meaning of their writings. When we process meaning from our experience we filter it through freewill mechanisms to either accept or deny that meaning toward confirming it as true or rejecting it as false. What we accept as true effects how we are oriented in the world and to be properly oriented in the world we need sufficient and effective meaning.

The Earth is a tiny blue dot in this vast Cosmic dark, yet with all this vastness of billions upon billions, billions, trillions of stars, galaxies and planets that is estimated to be out there some god has anointed not only a TINY SPECK ''the earth'' but a small band of people in the desert to be the one's to past on the so called word of god to the universe. This is the definition of narcissism. The Bible IS the claim, not the proof! If not for the Bible, none of this Christianity nonsense would exist. The Bible is the whole reason we have this claim, period, it is not evidence of it, It's a CLAIM. Gravity doesn't exist because it was written in a book. A book DESCRIBES gravity and, if at any point, you'd like to retest it, you enter that thing called "reality" and you can re-demonstrate it. Nothing of religion can be demonstrated outside of that book and into reality.
The crucial differences between scripture believing theists (of whatever hue) and those who take a scientific position. For the latter, the search for the truth is crucial. And since we aren't told the truth directly by "God" himself (whether he exists or not), we have to seek that truth ourselves. And the only way we can do that is observing/theorising/testing. It's never going to give us "absolute" truth, but in the absence of absolute truth, we have to go with that which we have the best evidence for. The theist on the other hand seems happy not to bother seeking the truth themselves. They just accept what they are spoonfed by whatever religion their family/community happen to hold, even if there is at best no evidence and at worst contrary evidence (eg the 6 day creation, Noah's flood etc).
This is an argument from ignorance, based on your flawed assumptions. you have no understanding of the BURDON OF PROOF or how science actually works. Why has your hypothesis of religious events never been published or peer reviewed?
You would have us believe that it is because of some great conspiracy by scientists to overlook your overwhelming evidence. The truth is you are spouting nonsense based purely on your own predetermined conclusions. You are taking your conclusion and trying to find evidence to support it, which is the opposite of how science works. Your level of comprehension is clearly below what is necessary to fully understand these comments.
You are making fallacies in practically every step of your arguments. I actually feel sorry for you that you could be this ignorant about this subject and still think you have knowledge in it. The reason I DON"T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY is because all of your objections have already been dealt with by real science. Long ago. Only batshit crazy creationist shills still hold onto these arguments. You are either too blinded to understand the fallacies of your arguments, or are brainwashed beyond the point of being able to identify how to use logic correctly. If you did, you wouldn't be making the mistakes you are making over and over again.
Also, you are completely misled. Evolution, is a fact, and is demonstrable in a multitude of ways. If you had even the most basic understanding of dna, mitochondria, and the nucleus of a cell you wouldn't be ignorant. Instead, you live in a world of ignorance and try to mask it with pseudoscience babble that has no meaning in the real world. If the creator of the universe were to communicate to mankind through a book, surely the book would be filled with spiritually uplifting and enlightening stories rather than the brutal and bloody tales contained in the Old Testament, and the NT> is not much better.!! It would be written in a language everyone could understand and be simple (''no you've taken it out of context bullshit''), straightforward and completely free of ambiguity without the need for interpretation by god's supposed "chosen" prophets. Why did god choose to reveal himself in an obscure corner of the middle east when he could have waited a couple of thousand years and reached billions through the medium of television or via the internet? I'm sorry, but the Bible is no more the "Word of God" than last week's edition of the Beezer. The very idea is an absolute joke. God is omniscient. When he created the universe, he saw the sufferings which humans would endure as a result of the sin of those original humans. He heard the screams of the damned. Surely he would have known that it would have been better for those humans to never have been born (in fact, the Bible says this very thing),??? and surely this all-compassionate deity would have foregone the creation of a universe destined to imperfection in which many of the humans were doomed to eternal suffering. A perfectly compassionate being who creates beings which he knows are doomed to suffer is ridiculous.!!!
@@robertsumners931 I am sorry that you have all the sudden become so accusing, cynical, and started labeling me with denigrating terms about my intelligence or that I have a mental illness. Sadly your behavior is very consistent with the rest of the nature worshippers and anti-theists I come across. Evolution is just the modern term for nature worship, evolution is a process in nature that you assume did everything to create the conditions of life and if there are answers you don’t have evidence for the great evolution/nature is responsible. If you were calm, polite, and had the capacity for reasonable persuasion you would be so much more credible and trustworthy but you aren’t, you are deliriously cynical, critical, and bullying instead. Your denigrating attacks are a veneer to cover your irrational belief system. Creation = eyewitnesses, Evolution = assumptions.
One of my main reasons for having discussions with Anti-theists is to see how closely their speech mirrors the rhetoric of ancient pagan imperialists. You seem to like to mention groups or tribes of people and show dehumanizing prejudice to those people groups through expressions of cultural elitism. You have done that a few times here. The main focus of attack is to demean intelligence and suggest mental illness without any show of objective evidence. It’s far easier to justify aggressive actions against dehumanized imbalanced beings of lesser intelligence evolutionarily.
You mentioned the behavior of animals, a symptom of nature worship, you in some ways find nature worthy to look to for answers. The main ethics we find in nature are the ethics of the top predator, might makes right, and tribal warfare. I notice more media these days that is set up to glorify the cunning killer and thief. Animals mainly compete through deception, stealing, and violence and the most successful ones are the ones that are best at it. Higher reasoning and honest integrity is not a value promoted by observing animals and nature. It wouldn’t satisfy the human weakness for dishonest arrogant dominance to identify with peaceful prey behavior. The rational standards of nature worthiness compared to the Hebrew God are easy to explain. God offers reason and standards to avoid dishonesty, stealing, and war. Nature doesn’t, it’s the pinnacle, the goal of nature is to be better at dishonesty, stealing, and war than others. Nature worship rationally leads to war, valuing people on the level of animals, and developing people without intellectual integrity while the Hebrew God leads to peace and developing moral integrity because you must respect the value and dignity of all people created in the image of God with greater moral value than animals.
I study individuals anthropologically by what behavior their value systems produce. They are all rational human beings that have chosen individually their worldview but also have some conformity stemming from cultural pressure. So far on average the ethics of “might makes right”, “honor to the tribe”, “top predator”, “the value of a life is measured by comfort and convenience.”, and some others are making a big comeback among anti-theists. None of these ethics, if taken to their conclusions, could rationally produce a peaceful industrious free society in the reality we live in.
What evidence of Jesus. Other than a man who lived 33 years 2000 years ago.
First of all, hundreds of first-hand witnesses (disciples) before and after His resurrection. Their testimony brought us the 4 gospels.
Then the second-hand witnesses of what the disciples could do in Jesus's name (heal the sick, raise the dead, etc). Their witness was so profound that their life changed and they were faithful to Him unto death by persecution.
So on and so forth, generation after generation.
In today time, that chain of witnesses still continue. His believers are still being called into His kingdom either by direct encounter with Jesus or by witnessing to ones who had. The same profound evidence that can change people's life, from criminals into saints, from wretchedness into holiness. Please take your time and listen to their testimony.
@@duydatyds you have a book that claims these events...claims witnesses.
We have no way to verify these ,witnesses" or if there were witnesses at all.
We can't interview them. We can't corroborate what they allegedly said.

There are plenty of people who have died, throughout history, for other people or other beliefs
You want an answer well here they are right from the Bible itself ... 1- Anna and Simon whom Jesus himself said were sinless and walked in perfection with god =..LUKE.1:6 ... Nathan was more forthright than Jesus because Nathan never lied =..JOHN.1:47.... king jotham of Israel who name actually means in Hebrew THE PERFECT GOD walked in absolute PERFECTION WITH GOD..= 2.CHRON.27:2-9 ... HEZEKIAH was called the greatest king before and after him which if you believe Jesus to be the jewish messiah therefore KING includes him ....read ... book of 2.KINGS.18:5 ... Enoch was taken up by god BODILY having never died because of his righteousness are you kidding me point being if you want to choose an individual to be divine on that criteria well then choose any one of these you like . God does not need to achieve or Pursue perfection it’s his genetic make up god naturally has what me Pursue

Cliff.....How do we know anything about the life, ministry and resurrection of JC? You are presenting the Bible as if it were some historical record. The Gospels ARE NOT written as histories by ancient historiographical standards. Because "a book says so" is not a reliable pathway to truth. The resurrection is perhaps the worst evidences and attested to event in the bible and Jesus is not even mentioned by contemporary historians, making his very existence dubious. You should spend more time with textual criticism of the "source document" so you can understand it before you pick up the megaphone. You clearly don't understand it from an academic perspective.
How so? How many other existed historiographical standards did u find other than dead sea Scrolls?
@@concernlast8354 I think you have a little term confusion when I say "standards". I am referring to how ancient people constructed prose and histories. The Gospels were not constructed to be read as historical accounts. There are many historical standards contemporary within the 1st century. Say perhaps Dionysius of Halicarnassus, or Suetonius in his Life of Augustus, or Thucydides in History of the Peloponnesian War, or Philo, Tacitus, even Josephus (although the testimonium is a later insertion). The the genre of ancient Greek and Latin historiography is very well studied. Ancient historical prose has a very distinct style, in which the historian often discusses the methodology of his research, the sources he consulted, the differences between multiple traditions about a person or event, and his judgment as an inquirer into past affairs.
The genre of ancient historical prose has key features that are crucial to understanding which works belong to the category and why they are generally more trustworthy than sources that do not. It is not enough for a text to simply talk about things that took place in the past, even when the content deals with real people and locations. A historical text must further investigate and probe these matters, discussing the research process involved, so that it does not merely provide a story, but a plausible interpretation of what took place.
As someone who studied ancient historical writing in the original Greek and Latin languages, it is clear to me that the Gospels are not historical writing. These texts instead read like ancient novelistic literature. In all but Luke, we do not hear anything about the written sources that the authors consulted, and even the author of Luke does not name them, explain their contents, or discuss how they are relevant as sources. The authors of the Gospels do not discuss how they learned their stories or what their personal relations are to these events, and even when John claims to have an eyewitness disciple "whom Jesus loved," the gospel does not even bother to name or identify this mysterious figure (most likely an invention of the author). Instead, the Gospels provide story-like narratives, where the authors omnisciently narrate everything that occurs rather than engage in any form of critical analysis. So.... the Gospels all fall short from the criteria that can be used to categorize a piece of historical prose.
I understand what u saying, what would you say if there's supernatural revelations? Cannot discount that as well right? However there's might be no way for us to see it as other ancient writing or current academic standards. Have ever heard vampire? Some say its fake some say its real? The quation is how on earth people mostly from every corner of the earth know this blood sucker before the internet? I know the standard you saying.. u want the CCTV like. It's can show you but can't tell u the smells..
@@concernlast8354 How can "supernatural revelation" be proven? No idea what a believe in Dracula has anything to do with this. That's a fable like Loch Ness, or Bigfoot, or Alien abductions. Dracula has been remodeled and re-packaged for centuries. These are just myths and symbols for a particular time in history. Take for example the fact that the vampire of 18th and 19th century literature, particularly English literature, is almost always an aristocrat. This is significant when a comparison is made to the earlier imagery from folklore, where the vampire is more often seen as a fellow peasant, perhaps a deceased member of the family who has died and who, through his or her plague and imagined stalkings in the night, drains the life from the other family members one by one. (In many cases, this proved to be a reasonable primitive explanation for a phenomenon now better explained by the germ theory of disease.)
So, the nature of the vampire changed when its imagery was moved from folklore to literature. It changed because its audience was different. In such literature, produced by and for an emergent middle class, the vampire becomes a powerful symbol of the evils and absurdities of a predatory aristocracy -- a blood-sucking royalty, often linked by family ties to foreign governments, that feed off the labors of the middle and working classes. So, what had started out as a folkloric and superstitious way of explaining the human struggle against nature, now becomes a symbolic approach to looking at a particular class struggle, a battle the middle class was already winning.
This proves that if you don't have knowledge, you have now true opinion, you are a pumpkin.
THE NUMBER OF MUSLIMS WILL OUT NUMBER THE NUMBER OF CHRISTIANS? OK I GOT TWO SCRIPTURES THAT WILL BE SET. THIS TO BE OK.

Matthew 7:21-23 KJV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

'The evidence is that JC is more reliable than Muhammad'
That is a ridiculous delusion.
We don't know who wrote most of the NT.
Christianity is more honestly Paulianity anyway.
That’s not his point. Regardless of who wrote it, what the bible says about Jesus is he is perfect and never sinned and he was God in the flesh. What the quaran/Hadith say about Mohammed is that he was not sinless. He married a 6 year old child and had sex with her aged 9, he raped women, he condoned beating your wife, and stuck his tongue down a child’s mouth. And before you accuse me of lying, please research all of these, then you tell me who was a more reliable and trust worthy person

Erm I think you view things through a Perverted sex obsessed way that many Paulians do.
The sickness you talk about is in your hypocritical Paul inspired heart.
And Muhammad, peace be on him, never encouraged genocide, rape and the killing of innocent children and animals.
By your strange theology, you claim that Jesus, peace be on him, was sinless and peaceful, yet ordered all that.
The fact is that you are a Perverted liar who prefers using dishonesty to support your Paul inspired theology (which explains your dishonesty) than to see the truth as it is.
Muslims know the truth about the slanderous claims you make.
But be warned. God promises to war with those that attack his prophets.
By their fruits you shall know them. Paulians smh.
@@think-islam-channel Surah 34: Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
Hasan Al-Albani, Book 48, 1183: It is related that Abu Hurayra said, "I never sae al-Hasan without my eyes overflowing with tears. That is because the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out one day and I found him in the mosque. He took my hand and I went along with him. He did not speak to me until we reached the market of Banu Qaynuqa'. He walked around it and looked. Then he left and I left with him until we reached the mosque. He sat down and wrapped himself in his garment. Then he said, 'Where is the little one? Call the little one to me.' Hasan came running and jumped into his lap. Then he put his hand in his beard. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, opened his mouth and put his tongue in his mouth. Then he said, O Allah, I love him, so love him and the one who loves him!'"
Sunan an-nasai 3255: It was narrated from Aishah that the messenger of Allah married her when she was six years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine.
Please show me where i lied, and please explain what these scriptures tell us about mohammed?
@Paul Wieringa That's a lie my friend. To say that means you deny historical evidence, that means you can't trust that einstein existed, or william shakespeare. but why do you believe they existed, because history and documents tells us so. Thus, Jesus existed.
@Paul Wieringa A historian named Flavious Josephus, roman historians called pliny and tacitus, you can also read about emperor nero, he ruled around 50ad to 70ad and actually persecuted and killed christians for believing in Jesus.
Jesus never sinned there aren't there like 30 years of Jesus's life missing in the bible? I just came for the laughs.
Just because it's not there, doesn't mean he did sin. When the bible is silent on a subject, don't add to it (or take away from it). For example, the dinosaurs. The bible never really talks about the aliens, doesn't mean its for or against life on other planets. Don't add to it, when its silent.
@@Josiahministries See I told you im here just for the laughs and you guys never fail me.
Your either wasting your time here or your not. If you're not wasting your time, then its good for you. I'm glad you keep hearing the truth of the gospel
@@Josiahministries Do you believe in aliens?
