    Morgue is a pretty good example of a "well-informed" Atheist. Right at the beginning Morgue only gives half-truths and misinformation about the flood, making it seem as if God just flooded the world on a whim, just to be mean, not regretfully, and only because men were doing evil. Morgue even forgot to mention God spared Noah, his wife, his sons, and their wives, which is a rather important detail. I guess Morgue learned the flood history from another Atheist.

      @@fcastellanos57 Maybe this is not quite what you mean, but even in Genesis we already see a Person Who is God refer to God in the third person, indicative of God being more than one Person. (See below, Genesis 22:11-12, taken from the KJV. Emphasis on the word ''me'' is mine, and not present in the original text.)
      ''And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham,
      Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad,
      neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou
      hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from *me*. ''
      I do not see how 1 Corinthians requires me to conclude that God is not triune.
      The analogy between God's Spirit and our spirit falls short, I think, as our spirit cannot act any other way than through us, and the Holy Spirit can act through e.g. the Apostles (who are great, but not God), leading Paul to attribute miracles to the Spirit of God, rather than simply to God. This is seen in Romans 15:19:
      ''Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.''

He certainly looked as someone I shouldn't trust so as the 15 year old me I decided to not trust him because he said Jesus is lucifer. I don't think that put a dent in my faith. He's dumb but what he said was more of confusion as to why he said it. But I lived forgetting about his existence. I regret to be informed that he's still alive sadly.

Jesus hear my prayers. I’m so weary. I feel like a failure. Since covid I fell on a terrible hardship. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m a single mom, my husband is with God. My children are autistic. I’m overwhelmed because I’m struggling to provide for my children. I recently started homeschooling them because they were having so many issues in school including bullying. Their behavior is unpredictable, so it’s easier not to expose them to certain situations. That’s why homeschooling is working out great. I’m now waitressing and I’m so thankful but not making nearly enough. Jesus hear my prayers. Every month is a struggle not to end up on the streets with my boys. Every month I have a hard time coming up with rent. The devil wants me to give up but God won’t allow it. I have faith that God will provide he has this far. All things are possible through Jesus Christ Faith over fear!

    Contrast that with what Erik does on his channel. Well informed and thoroughly crafted arguments with sources and citations and references throughout.

    I'm writing a book on this very subject called, "IS JESUS CHRIST REALLY THE EVERLASTING GOD OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS?"
    In witnessing to followers of many cults and denominations over 35 years, God has given me ample opportunity to exposit all of the Scriptures I knew of (approximately 40-50) that clearly denote or allude to the Deity of Christ.
    How nice it would have been, i always thought, if I'd been able to just pull out a handy reference guide listing EVERY place in the Bible that spells out who Jesus is. But since I don't live in an ideal world, I had to settle for what I had.
    I had just finished producing a church bulletin-sized booklet for Muslims showing all of the verses that say He is the Son of God. "Is Jesus Christ REALLY the Son of God?" was the name of it.
    Curiously, a Christian lady at the copy store where I was running the booklet off viewed the title with some suspicion. By the look on her face, I could tell she thought it was a book that contradicted the Bible. I quickly assured her that it wasn't. But I realized in that moment that the title was just provocative enough to wet someone's curiosity into picking it up and reading it.
    Then, I decided to take it a step further by indexing and commenting on every verse I could find that teaches Jesus is God. However, I had no idea what I was in for. The sheer volume of biblical evidence would turn this into a MASSIVE undertaking!
    My Table of Contents was turning into a sizeable, "chapter-like" section all by itself, as I began listing out all of the names, titles, attributes and works of God that the Bible applies DIRECTLY to the Lord Jesus Christ.
    I'm still not quite sure if I want to stick to my original idea of indexing and commentary because that will invariably push publication of this work way beyond any foreseeable date.
    Perhaps i should just keep it simple and publish the book as a handy - though comprehensive and exhaustive - reference guide. I'm still praying 🙏 about that.

      They also don't point out that Paul is writing to the Romans, Philippians, Corinthians, etc. to CORRECT them on doctrine, i.e. prevent heresies. Also, you see in Revelations that there are already some heresies in the early Christian community.
      Revelations 2: 6 "You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."
      Revelations 2: 14-16 "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality. Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth."
      Revelations 2:20 "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols."
      So, even in the early church (maybe around AD 70) we have 2-3 heresies already: Nicolaitans, followers of Balaam and followers of Jezebel.

They believe in the Scriptures in a way that is entirely opposite the early wild heresies that the arheist guy was talking about and supposed book burnings.
    In a lot of ways they are like Christians but misunderstand the Scriptures that we agree on.
    Also, I am not really sure if it was explained how believing that Jesus is God could actually help Constantine be a better authoritarian or whatnot.
    Almost like it is a non sequitur.

We call the Word "the Son" because like an earthly son He is "of the same stuff" as His Father, but is obedient to Him.

  • @CalledChosenandFaithful
    @CalledChosenandFaithful 4 місяці тому

    Concerning the alleged allusions to it, there's none in scrupture. While it speaks of God the father, the son of god and the Holy Spirit, one cannot argue that it the trinity. That teaching explicitly says that each person is either God the father, which is scriptural. God the son or the erternal son both are not in scripture, nor is God the Holy Spirit. Which the trinity claims must be worshipped as distinct persons. The scripture nowhere mentions that regardsless of your words as to it's veracity. Most scholars agree it is not found there, James White agrees to that as does a host of others which I could mention. Still, simply looking in any Encyclopedia spells that the trinity is not scriptural. The scriptures conclude by 100 AD with John's death and writings, while the trinity was not mentioned by Jesus, the apostles or the prophets but by Tertullian in 200 AD. Origen and other Greeks used platonic thought which became the normative to describe by later apologists. The trinity was not until the late 4th century. The three Cappodicians created it by these words in 381. "In thinking upon the the trinity we came upon the trinity." Again, it is a paper tiger. Nobody can claim it is scriptural, as it never found there. Titles abound of God. "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). Is talking about three or more gods? No, in fact about God who will becone a son yet be the almight and everlasting father, and holy spirit or comforter. The fact is that God himself calls himself the the Holy One over 30 times is enough evidence to condemn the Catholic trinity heresy. Nobody can fully understand it yet must believe it. According to orthodox Trinitarian doctrine, if a person claims to be a Christian but does not believe in the Trinity, he is not saved. Is that the truth? No. Wevare created in God's image in Genesis. Are you three people in unity? No. I'm a father, son and a spirit, but I'm not three people. To say otherwise to to lie. So the trinity is a lie as Paul calls later teachings not in the gospel cursed in Gal. 1:6-12. It is an add on warned against by Jesus in Rev. 22:18-19. It the tare doctrine that came after the truth or wheat teaching of the scriptures. One cannot be three persons and yet call himself one person. In fact, it is not scripture but platonic thought. It is a lie that will send you to hell in Matthew 7:21-23.
