Episode #286
Ray Comfort discusses the role of faith in evangelism and open air preaching. Ronnie Cardiel preaches the gospel open air inside a food court at the mall. Ray finds the world's stupidest eBay seller, and the Living Waters team looks at Hinduism from a Christian perspective. This begins a series on how to witness to a Hindu.
I’ve studied a few of the Hindu saints of the last 100 years and they all believe in God. The other “gods” serve the one creator. They also believe in an immortal soul. Generally the teachings of these ‘gurus’ are to pray everyday, feed the poor, renounce materialism, lust leads to hell, suffering can be cultivated, “I have no power. It all comes from God”, and other noble teachings. Meanwhile we look at the most popular Protestant preachers in America - they don’t ‘hold a stick’ to some of these Hindu gurus. So, while I love you guys, for Christians who are really trying to weigh out what Hinduism is, this presentation isn’t it.
Are you basically saying that they're just good people? So why are Christians hating on them?
If that's the case, christians don't "hate on" anyone. God commands us to love others. But in loving them, we point out that the One True God of the Bible has a standard of goodness that is Moral Perfection. Just because Hindus are nice people, and they are, doesn't mean they'll be acceptable in the sight of God. Neither will I or anyone else unless we trust in Jesus.
Goodness has nothing to do with it. God says to repent and turn to Him alone for salvation. Apart from Christ's righteousness, there is no hope of salvation.
i was a hindu from nepal, and bro clearly has no idea about hindu gods and our culture, if you go deep enough on hindu scriptures rather than a motivational and emotional speech by some gurus you will find that hindu gods are phedophiles, rapist, and just blood thirsty,
You can talk about doing good and all. But if it's not founded in truth it's all just good works. The devil can do good while still deceiving
Hindus can accept Jesus as an Incarnation of the absolute and the infinite.
If goodness has nothing to do with it, then your perception of the father’s love is exclusive.
Its is genuinely better to be a good person for the sake of helping the world grow.
Rather than saying it makes no difference whether you are a good person or not. Your contributions to humanity, hold absolutely no value to God unless you exclusively accept Jesus as the only representation of God that has ever appeared on the earth in history and will ever appear as in the future.
I don’t think accepting Jesus guarantees you a spot in heaven lol. You still have to be a good person.
Otherwise you are just a bad person on a leash constantly looking for justifications and rationalizations to support your judgements of the rest of the world and its people.
This may not be your intent, but it’s what a-lot of people see, and tbh this is how you presented yourself and your thoughts in your comment.
“God commands you to love others, but in loving them point out that Jesus is the one true God of the Bible has a standard of goodness. That is Moral Perfection!
No hope huh… what a great perception of the afterlife; So what you’re basically saying is, in your religion good people get screwed over by God even if they try to help make the world become a better place just because they don’t accept Jesus as the only time God ever wanted to help elevate and protect humanity from its own stupidity.
If thats the case, God is not there for humanity, he is only there for Christians. If that is what you want the world to believe God is, then keep him to yourself, he is only for you.
If you think the rest of the world will go to hell for doing good deeds 😂🤣 and for not accepting Jesus as the only one; then he is not fair and not our Judge. For if he is our Judge, he must be fair.
Praise Jesus for the bold preaching at the Mall. God bless that ministry.
And God continue to bless LivingWaters!!!
but hinduism is peaceful religion
For upper caste .only 😁
@@Ankita-vr8ri hey are you Christian?
Peaceful or not it doesn't matter, look for eternal life not for worldly peace
Starts at 18:15.
And based on how Living Waters completely misrepresents Christianity, I definitely don’t trust them on accurately representing Hinduism.
@TheCrusaderPub how does living waters completely misrepresents Christianity? It is bc he says we must repent from our ways and turn to Jesus. Jesus said to repent. John the Baptist said repent. God Almighty says to repent!!!!
It's everywhere in the bible. It's all over the Bible.
@@grizzlemc1662 Jesus only said repent? I guess just just like Martin Luther you just take scissors to the Bible.
In Hindusim, there is a "Hell" called Naraka for evil people who have committed horrible sins on Earth. They are purified there, but truly wicked ones suffer endlessly like in the Christian Hell.
The guy presenting the instruction was pretty respectful of the culture and Religion. That made me happy. I was proud of him.
Hinduism came from Noah’s time ( half animals half human )
Then Noah cured his son
Then stories where made up and religion was formed
“Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.”
Genesis 9:22
“When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.””
Genesis 9:24-25
“The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan. The sons of Cush: Seba,( shiva ) Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah ( Rama ) and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah: Sheba? ( Shiva ) and Dedan.”
Genesis 10:6-7

my way is the ONLY way others are all false gods..I am gonna save 'em by converting them into my faith.. These are the most toxic phrases used in the name of religious freedom..
What are you even trying to say? Not that clearly written
This is very informative. Thanks to Ray and guest.
ha ha,...you guys you don't even 0.1% of Hinduism and you are able to comment on it and tell about it to the 100's of people...pathetic... the thing that you told about lord Ganesha is not what is actually is..then you showed a slide and showed whole lot of books...regarding Hinduism... to tell you all of them are interconnected... they are not separate from each other...
The Jews came out of Paganism. Abraham was the Father of Judaism. Paganism was before Judaism but doesn't make it right. They sacrificed widows and other pagans killed their own children to Baal.
One of the funniest things I’ve watched in a long time “it’s older than Abraham?!” 😂 astounding
Hey, you guys should evaluate Shinto and Buddhism next and explain to us why the Japanese are so orderly and respectful of one another!
You are doing tremendous injustice to HINDU DHARMA, without indepth understanding. First know why they are doing and why they are doing, then analyse the philosophy, with logic,reason, common sense. Then you will find answers. Just dont talk what you think& about your own ignorance. When you put cross , is it not idol worship,mary statue is not idol worship. Any way you copied many procedures from HINDU DHARMA.Your idea of idol worship is totally different from the way HINDUS DO MURTHI worship
"it is good exercise for the teeth, the mouth, the tongue, everything!" hahaha
While hinduism may be derived from the Indus River as much as the word India is, the actual name is Sanatan Dharm which means eternal righteousness. there is NO correct translation of the word Dharm however. yes we have idol worship ( I do so) and there are other forms which may not involve idols. now the interesting thing is that this is so vast as a religion that it is difficult to place everything into one. as hindus we are constantly learning and understanding. 33 years and i still do not know everything you see.
These people have a lack of knowledge on general philosophy and these slides he has shown are so basic for “discussing” this
Thank you for all that you do
It's Monism not Polytheism. It's a common misconception, but some people have made that mistake and confused the two.
Sure but still many characters/incarnations of the one god. There are about 10 versions of the one god. Hinduism has different sects too depending on the Hindus they worship the different incarnations and various other deities. This is also why it's hard to pin Hinduism since every Hindu tends to worship a different Idol or incarnation.
@TechnologicalTyranny Wow, you're soo convincing... Amazing logic my friend.
Love the show. This one was interesting. But I would like to here about present events and news concerning Christians. Such ad the GOP debates and what y'all think of the candidates.
More than 30% Christian Americans have disassociated themselves from Christianity in the past 30 years. They must have a good reason. It seems that the lost souls in USA need your services more.
if Hinduism is idol worship then Christianity is also idol worship...Hinduism is not idol worship. The idol itself is not god. It represent god just like the cross represent Jesus Christ. Ask yourself if Christian goes to the church and prays in-front of the Cross , is this idoltry
actually only catholics .... making crosses and statues for Jesus is also idolatry, go to a protestant church you will not see a single statue
@@samuelmithran5586 what about cross.
@@getshijan its a symbol No one prays to the cross nor does anyone claim that it represents God, if someone prays to the cross like Catholics, then its idolatry. The cross is simply there so that people can know that this is a Christian place of worship. Cross is still not idolatry because it doesn't claim to represent God but just a symbol, but making representations and graven images for god like making statues for jesus Or yahweh is wrong and is considered idolatry. The Hindu symbols like swasthika and Om is not a problem but making idols that claim to represent God's physical appearance is the issue
@@samuelmithran5586 do you think hindu pray or consider the statue as God. No it only represents as God .
@@getshijan yes.....that representation is also idolatry according to the 10 commandments. I know no one considers a stone to be God, the main issue is nothing should represent god, no stone nor creature Or a human being.
@TechnologicalTyranny Both an Appeal to Novelty and an Appeal to Tradition. You're contradicting yourself.
@TechnologicalTyranny Why do you feel so threatened by him that you feel the need to post so many comments?
yes it is i respect buddhism
Sorry for you. God bless
Sigh... this is what we get when people who totally KNOW they are right and everyone else is wrong, attempts to talk about other religions which would be their 'competition' for Evangelizing. First up, Oldest scripture : RigVeda, & a main part is that clarification that there is ONLY one God, wise men/women know God by many names. God is 'That', If you seek to limit God to only ONE thing, what you have is the sum of your limitations, not God. Thus many God Forms, all aspects of the one source.
Goddess Parvathi created ganesha to keep her husband away from her bathroom ?? ROFL, what nonsense !! So, that's what a christian's look at hinduism is :P ..
Nz represent. Living Waters and or ray comfort plz do a tour or something in new Zealand I'd love to see you interacting with nz people 😅
It's the ultimate cop-out from responsibility with God. But show them love AND Truth together. Also, they're observant; they look at your life, so walk with Jesus everyday and pray for them.
Ignorance at its highest!!!! A complete of waste of time.
ok so why you are annoyed !just keep calm and move on!
Based on the title, the video starts at minute 20.
maybe so, but this world has changed over the past several thousand years. Some philosophers of religion have taken parts of different religions and said that universally, there is the truth of existence within ourselves and a higher power. (Not necessarily God)
Do you still hold to that?
Sin is pre-existing in all. Sin pre-dates The Bible. The Bible explains origins of sin. The Bible provides remedy for sin through Jesus Christ. The Bible is best selling book in the world for this reason.
Sin is the opium.
In The Bible we know Who made the world, who marred it, who ransacked it, and Who restored it.
Media, Police, Defense, Judiciary, Penitentiary, Security, Contracts confirm sin exists.
God created universe, natural laws, made man in His image, gave talents, instructed man to explore and multiply. We are made good with good purpose. We are good. Then sin entered and we fallen. Disease, despair, death entered. Sin plays spoilsport.
Unloose the Soul from the tight knot of sin. Soul outlasts death.
Religion says "Do". Jesus Christ says "Done".
Sinners cannot save themselves from sin. Jesus Christ, the Holy God, intervened to save us from sin.
Jesus Christ came from heaven (The First Christmas), died willingly for our sins on The Cross (The First Good Friday), and resurrected death (The Resurrection Day, also linked to Easter). Jesus Christ lived a Holy life, while on earth.
Unable to find any motive for Jesus Christ to die willingly on Cross and resurrect - except His love to save us from pre-existing sin.
Jesus Christ suffered, understands our pain. He raised victorious, we can too.
Salvation from sin is free gift of God in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not earned through works or deeds or pilgrimages or rituals or ceremonies or traditions or cultures or public displays or making sacrifices.
Believe, repent of sins and accept Jesus Christ, and be saved. Simple. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
(My journal, after testing all 'isms', after swallowing pride and egos.)
Hindu's are lead astray please pray for them!!!! They don't know which one is true God....
Why do you think they are 'astray?' How do you know you are not?
Hinduism is your elder, so show respect and learn.

Thank you. There's too much filler in this episode.
@greenback001
Maybe you should respond... You have a youtube account. Make some videos !
The TWOTM seems to focus on salvation related issues.
this what soo annyingabout christian, no matter were you go there alwasy screaming about hell and sin, at least hindus keep inthere temple.
Oh and Ray Comfort comes off as very insecure and defensive.
Selfrealisation is not satan. It's how you live with yourself and others around you
the common thread of hinduism as YOU call it is NOT idol worship. Idols are only tools.
Why can't you worship them in spirit
@@DR-yv5bk you can!! You do you
But the idol isn’t God. Don’t confuse the two. All “gods” of Hinduism are just representations of the One God(Brahman)
@@Ob-sw9sd Actually all these gods and goddesses work under the most powerful God. If a human gained powers they would call him a God but not the most powerful God. Shiv created himself from nothing and he's the most powerful.
All i can say is please dont try and talk about something u plainly dont understand
But the caste system is pretty plain and simple to understand.
@@theduke6174 You may win some points for saying "ha but you Indians have the caste system!" But what you forget is that caste system is a western creation. Hindus never invented the word caste. It came from Portuguese. The words we use are jati and Varna which are more complex than simply the caste system.
@@RamG360 caste system is rig veda manu smiriti...is that from Portuguese too?? Low caste hindus are not even allowed to read or know the vedas. If anyone does so they would be killed for it...

@Elias not true... one cant even take up board exams without giving a caste certificate...nothing has changed legally thats the reality...
ua-cam.com/video/sJCLaj18pPk/v-deo.html
you can compare the two religions to an extent, however, western and eastern religions are completely different like Yin and Yang.

Christianity is middle eastern

I used to be a New age Hindu and I’ve now became a Christian pansexual in 2021 and 2022
Oh wow that's a big leap. But also still in error. As Christians we don't identify ourselves with our sins! For through Christ we are made new
@TechnologicalTyranny Also Appeal to Ridicule again.
Almighty God, what absolute, total ignorance!!! To "witness" is a kind of a code word for "convert them to Christianity." The essence of Hinduism is:
1. There is only ONE GOD that pervades the Universe. S/He is beyond names, so called "That," or also BRHMN (Brahman).
2. Mystics and visionaries, over the millennia, have come up with their personal visions of God, which took form as images or idols, which people found easy to worship. They have such mystical implications. Ganesha, the Elephant headed God, for instance: the elephant head represents prodigious memory. One of his tusks is broken, implying He has overcome the extremes of craving and aversion. Large ears represent the ability to hear the scriptures. The large belly represents the ability to digest and dissolve all difficulties.
3. The ONE supreme is also considered to have three forms/functions: Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Why a destroyer? That is the nature of life....birth, living and death. Each of the three deities has a male form and female form, as there are masculine and feminine forces in nature, like Yin and Yang in the Chinese tradition.
4. Even "seemingly ignorant" Hindus know that the Idol is not God, but a form to worship, to reach God and ask for blessings.
5. In Christianity, with its deeply, deeply flawed ideology, we are born "sinners" who can only be saved by devotion to Jesus. In Hinduism we are all born with pristine pure souls, but ego and other negativity of the mind such as anger, hatred, greed, and so on, overshadow our pure inner nature. We just need to realize the Truth, and learn our inner divine nature. We are born again and again, to further and further experience the magnificence of God's creation. Once we deeply realize our true inner nature, there is no need to be born again and we dwell with God forever. (Unless) we want to be born again to teach others.
So please stop perpetuating this ignorance and teaching this ignorance to the young people in your ministries. For instance your absolute ignorance of the Swastika is amazing. It is not a symbol of fair skinned "Aryans" but rather a sacred symbol, thousands of years old, part of the Hindu tradition. India is a blend of multiple races. Swastika, Su-hasthika, means, that which is auspicious. Absolutely no racial or skin tone implications whatsoever. Did you know that the "Star of David" is also equally sacred in India? Enough from me. Just please, stop this display of total ignorance of other religions. The "Fat Buddha" has nothing to do with the Buddha at all, OK? The Buddha taught the "Middle Way," no extremes of starvation or indulgence, for instance.
guys...having incompete knowledge or wrong knowledge is dangerous than having no knowledge...we can also make false stories about your god and upload it...but our god teaches us to respect every religion...dont forget sanskrit is the mother of all languages & hinduism is the most ancient religion...
its not to do with a caste symbol it a symbol of power and knowledge you really need to review your intel
What is zoroastrianism?
zero knowledge,just copied some sheets otherwise they dont know "'f'' about anythigh
No big deal, Ray, this video only has 616 views.
@digifreak10101 for a group of people that claims to speak the word of God, 972 views seems a little low......
But your explanation for this discrepancy will be something along the lines of "PEOPLE HAVE REJECTED CHRIST, GOD AND THEIR TEACHINGS.....BLAH BLAH BLAH."
You are on the dying end of evolution, Christianity is in the process of non-belief (essentially death for your faith.)
Don't act surprised, its been a long time coming.
As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies , various though they appear, crooked or straight, easy or difficult all lead to THEE(GOD)
Three blind men walking on a road met an Elephant.
One touched the trunk and said this is what the animal is , where as other touched the ear and said this is what the animal is, the third one touched the foot and argued this is the animal.
We are all blind and keep on arguing about God...
There is a frog which resides in a small well for long years.
One day a frog from pond suddenly fell into that well and met the frog of well.
On having a discussion frog of pond says that I lived in pond which is much much bigger than your well.
The frog from well who spent all its years in well only argues relentlessly that nothing can be bigger than his well and finally the argument got so heated that frog of well drove the frog of pond out from the well.
So we lived in our boundaries and think this is the limit.
The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the water? No. It becomes a plant. It develops after the law of its own growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them into plant substance, and grows into a plant.
Similar is the case with religion. The Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth.
The water we drink is called "Pani" in Hindi, "Jol" in Bengali and "Water" in English. But that doesn't differ the true nature of water or the usefulness
THERE IS ONE AND ONLY ONE AUTHORITATIVE HINDU SCRIPTURE --CALLED VEDAM --IT HAS FOUR BRANCHES(ZAAKHAAS) --RIG--SAAMAN--YAJUS--AND ATHARVA
WHEN I SALUTE AN ELDER --I SAY "YAJUS ZAAKHAADHYAAYI--RAJAGOPAALA SHARMANN"--I DO NOT SAY "YAJUS VEDHAADHYAAYI RAJAGOPAALA SHARMANN"
FOR ITS PART GOOGLE ALSO EXPRESSES ITS "IGNORANCE"--"IGNORANCE IS BLISS"
@TechnologicalTyranny Bandwagon Fallacy
I always find it hilarious how Christians (mainstream trinitarian ones) accuse other religions of idol worship, yet they themselves engage in the greatest idol worship there is, worshipping a man as God.
Mark Cloud You know there is a saying,when you spit out towards the sky,it falls right back onto your face. Decipher this !!!
Idol worship is not believing jesus when he said my father sent me

@BaneOfAzrael he read a little on christian websites and make the rest up
Hinduism has so much beauty within it. I think Gautama Buddha extracted the best out of it for Spiritual Growth, in that being the most direct way towards Enlightenment.
thank you so much for making this. i haven't even watched it and i'm excited. i have a friend that is hindu and all about raising Kundalini... i'm all about drowning in the Holy Spirit... this will help me be better equipped to share Christ with him.
The Holy Spirit and the Kundalini are the same thing.
even i m hindu but i agree your comment
This is not true. The Hare Krishna's are not an outbreak of Hinduism. The Hare Krishna's have a parampara, which is a disciplic succession going back to Lord Chaitanya. And each do have their disciplic succession. The Hare Krishna's DO NOT make blood sacrifices, only fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds etc. They make offerings of food, NO MEAT, to the dieties which you call "idols". Not like the abrahamic religions that sacrificed and took the life of animals and drank their blood and ate their flesh. A DISGUSTING PRACTISE. Let's talk about caste systems. The caste system is deem demoniac by the disciplic succession of the Hare Krishnas and the Vaishnava's. It was never supposed to be like it is in now. The Moslem Monguls (another abrahamic religion) came in and used the vanashram dharma, that states that everyone has different propensities of work and does not depend on what family you are born in. Also, Kali devi isn't one of the main dieties in India.
I Respond you don't know anything don't make assumptions it's forbidden in Christianity to drink blood.... you are lying sir!!!!
@Kinosis79 Appeal to Ridicule
!!!
exactly, I believe that God wanted mankind to live in harmony with each other not matter what their belief systems were.
What song is that at about 11:30 in?
@TechnologicalTyranny When you pull out the "Appeal to tradition" on me......
can you not see that is purely what The Way of the Master relies upon to make their arguments? (The Bible says this therefore this will happen to you.)
don't try and hit me with big phrases and concepts unless you are prepared to apply the same to their arguments as well....
This is a complete and utter mockery of Sanatanan Dharma. NOTHING (except maybe the part about Kali?) of what they said what right AT ALL. I could write a 500 page BOOK explaining how they are actively spreading misinformation about Hinduism.
Why don’t you tell which is right instead labeling as misinformation? My first question why you didn’t use Hinduism ? Why you are using Sanathan Dharma.. my second question what do you mean by dharma ?
@@UnpackingtheWorld Most if not all of the content in the video was misinformation.
@@gabrielg2395 that’s what I am asking what is misinformation in this ? Eg. You might be referring one book how Ganesha got Elephant head but another book says different . As they mentioned there are many books. Who can certify which is correct which is wrong.

you are their for pramoting Christianity so u always say about other religion. shame on u
Parvathi pleads her husband to bring their son back to life. Shiva remembers the boon granted to gajasur (elaphant) demon, cuts the head of the elephant and attaches it to Ganesha's body and brings him back to life. Thus, Lord Ganesha is elephant headed and the elephant head symbolizes wisdom & memory. The reason why Shiva killed Ganesha is not out of ignorance (there is nothing that Lord Shiva does not know). Ganesha had to be twice born and with two bodies to kill another demon coz of his boon
First how he doesn't know he was son of parvathi and also why he put elephant head instead of his head back??
Sanatana Dharma is Worlds oldest living religion and the most wisest.... Please don't defile it with false propaganda! Learn from it and live in this World happily and peacefully!
Gajasur just before dying prays lord Shiva to pardon his ignorance and asks him for another boon that his eyes should see Lord Shiva everyday. Shiva grants him the wish and also wears the elephant's skin as his clothes. When he comes back to home, Shiva sees Ganesha guarding the door and obstructing him from entering his own house. Out of anger he chops Ganesha's head off. Parvathi comes out listening to the shouts of ganesha and sees her son dead !...contd..
The story is, Lord Shiva grants a boon to his devotee Gajasur (gaja+asur = elephant headed demon who worships Shiva) that he would enter his stomach and stay there as long as the demon wished. Sensing a great threat to the worlds, Lord Vishnu plans to bring Shiva home and asks his sister Parvathi (alias naaraayaNi) to take bath and mediate upon her husband "uninterrupted". Contd...
I am a Hindu and have many past memories and I say god is light and help u do good deeds but it can also make u free to its devotee but not all get freedom through god and there starts Hinduism spiritual yogic practice to get free from birth and death cycles by yourself through meditation with the help of god. But it's your own path and hardwork to know urself and be free from Maya without fully depending on god.

well, if we are going to go down THAT ROUTE, then by all means, lets list the fallacies Roy Comfort and his gang continually insist on using. I'm certainly not as smart as you, so I'm just going to pull this off of Wikipedia like most dumb people do.

4.Appeal to authority.

Christ fits into Hinduism very easily, Jesus said he was the son of God. I have chosen to see him as the incarnation of Shri Ganesha… it makes sense to me at least. Jesus and Ganesha have very similar divine characteristics. Shri Ganesha is always worshiped first to establish purity, innocence, and righteousness. Jesus said you can only reach the kingdom of god through him, you must please Jesus or Shri Ganesha to reach your father (and/or) the holy spirit. (Kundalini for Hindus)
Be innocent but be knowledgeable, do not be naïve. Have pure intentions always, and do not do onto others what you would not want done to yourself.
Exodus 20:3-6 New International Version (NIV)
“You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
John 14:6 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
(Bhagavat Gita; Chapter 4: Section 7)
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत |
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्
“yada yada hi dharmasya
glahnir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham”
“Whenever and wherever there is a decline in righteousness, and a rise in immorality. When virtue subsides and wickedness prevails, then I myself come forth. To establish virtue, to destroy evil and to save the good I will incarnate age after age.”
Riddle me this, if God is all powerful and all knowing and made our reality…how can he be jealous of his own creation?
(Your version of the father) Wasn’t it his choice to give free will, and now he saying he is jealous of your choices to worship another god. 😂
Sounds like you want to your own father in box. Because the idea that he could be much more brilliant than what you have read from Paul’s contributions to the New Testament kind of scares you.
The idea that he is everywhere, in all things, in you, in me, in the animals, and in the trees and the seas.
It amazes me how you try to paint the Glory of God as something exclusive to only followers of Jesus.
When actually people can witness that glory and beauty whenever they want.
All you have to do is open yourself up to that type of love.

@Kinosis79 Biblical Christianity is the acceptance of words written by men over the course of 1,800 years, as the actual word of God.
Don't pretend to know the ever-after, because of words written by men......
Don't pretend that those words they wrote were actually from God......
The bible is more than 3500 years older than Jesus who was the last prophet and the incarnation of Yahweh the god of the bible himself... The bible revalation to Abraham and mosses, the ancestors of Jesus given by god himself. those words may have been written down by prophets but narrated by the one true God called Yahweh
The most peaceful religion is christianity... Best.. Dats y maximum population worldwide is christian...
