Theology Matters - Dug Down Deep - Joshua Harris

[jackieisdbest]

if you make some comments. . . comment on it. . . not to the point of putting other people down . . . choose words wisely. . .

[jackieisdbest]

to those people who dislike this video.. . look at yourself. . . don't judge with just a 2-minute video. . .buy this book and read it first. ..

someday when we get to heaven and see God. . . let us ask him what's the truth. .and you know what? . . for sure He will not answer first our questions. . . He will judge your attitude- - -

whether god exist or not, what you did there, i think it's beautiful.

THEOLOGY 101

1. Put down the books, open your eyes, and look.

2. Follow your heart. Live in love.

3. Let go of support sideways and reach for God.

[RelevantUnavailable]

@eastariel "Matthew 15:19 ESV

"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander." If you want to be wicked then follow your heart. If you want to be Christian, let God speak to you through his word and envelope yourself in the word of God. Learn the biblical languages, Greek and Hebrew. Get your act together by falling on your face and realizing the nuances of the scriptures.

@eastariel 4.Get reading. It matters.

[Imperativism]

This guy's handwriting is horrifying. The way he grips his pen is like a claw. Who the Hell holds a pen that improperly, and that awkwardly?

[chessmoney18]

@Imperativism lol

[PicturaSonus]

Here you go, Atheists. This is the reasoning you've all been waiting for. Finally someone makes a good video questioning the basis of Christianity and what is true/what is false from it. Of course, I know for a fact that some close-minded person will still think it is irrational simply because it has to do with Christianity. I'm not blindly following God like most people. I'm digging deep, like the video suggests.

[Razz000]

That's what they call your Higer-Self it's programmed into us as a form of companionship within your own mind for when your feeling close to suicide etc so here's my theory anytime anyone has ever said they were speaking to a God separate from their body whether it be Christian, Muselim or Judaism every time it was communicating with their Higher-Self your purity which knows what is right for you and people around you. So technically we all follow the same religion but people whore out religion

[Razz000]

Best question i always put out to religious folks is if God is all knowing then he would know me he would know that i don't like believing without evidence he would know i want just one shred of evidence to show that he is watching over me so every now and again i say are you there can you talk to me every time no answer but what i do get every now and again when i'm feeling really down is i ask myself and myself becomes my God a wiser more intelligent version of myself just for like 5 seconds

[Razz000]

no one can ever know what God wants that's the idea of this life to figure shit out for ourselves with help from family, friends and community. The essence of God if you want to give it that name is what is around us it's nature its every animal, plant, molecule, element, star that we see it's our emotions we show towards ourselves and others he is not some form of individual the has likes and dislikes it is the essence of life and properties to create life

[OneFaithMinistries]

Amen. Theology matters. Many people in the "contemporary church" with their poor excuse for church music and their relevant sermons and their lack of holiness and church discipline hate theology. Theology shapes our entire lives. Chris Tomlin and Passion City Church say this on their website: "More than outward forms, theologically informed worship must encompass our entire existence, whereby in all circumstances our words and actions bring glory to God." All True Christians will agree.

who the heck writes Greek in all caps?

[h0110wPeTaL]

@wittenbergdoor who the hell writes English in all caps

[wooowmeato]

Stan Lee with marvel comics

[adriennesmiles]

@wittenbergdoor Greek was originally 'all caps' if you care to know. it wasn't til much later that they added 'lower case' characters.

[wittenbergdoor]

@adriennesmiles That's nice. But I didn't write "who the heck WROTE Greek in all caps?" but "who the heck WRITES Greek in all caps?" . . . if you care to know. I kid, I kid.

[hectoreli09]

@liquidledz it is true without him we are NOTHING our life has no value ...,the air i breath is because of him and his grace! Repent and believe

[liquidledz]

I'm an Atheist, I'm watching this video. Now I like it for the artistic side of it. But really dislike the fact that you are basically saying that unless I study god, which also means I need to believe in him, I will fail at life and it will become meaningless.

I am sorry but this video really struck a nerve as you are basically telling a whole lot of people they mean nothing, which isn't true.

Please be rational next time you post a video -_-

[MsScienceFTW]

@liquidledz I agree. I find the artistic value of this video, and the effort which you can clearly see was put into it very impressive. The message it it contains however, as an agnostic person, is more off putting than inspiring. I am sure that's not what the maker of the video intended, but it comes off as though just because someone doesn't study god(with a belief) that their life (or some aspects) is meaningless and dry. That's just not how things work. Even when I was theist I knew better.

[soupsoup2006]

@liquidledz I think the video is rational. It is rational to those who are Christians. As an atheist, of course it will come off as offensive and irrational. This video is shows a very small lens of what Christianity is about, please don't judge Christianity by this 2 minute video. Just because it hasn't made sense to you yet, does not mean it is irrational.

[JoyceElaineCutliff]

@liquidledz

Please understand that you're not being insulted by a video, you're being immature to another opinon.

Please don't watch if you don't agree.

[PicturaSonus]

@JoyceElaineCutliff Unfortunately, your comment, by disbanding the viewpoint of another person and excluding him/her from participating in the discussion thread simply because of their belief, shows the exact same immaturity.

[linjiayin]

@liquidledz

You don't need to believe in something to study it. People study to find out more about something or because they think it will be useful. I know plenty of atheists and agnostics who have read the Bible from cover to cover. Personally, I think it's important to learn about the things you don't believe. After all, it seems foolish to dismiss something that I don't know or understand little of.

[noblefreecloud]

@liquidledz Hey there. It seems crazy to me now having been so long in asking this question, but here I go! Do atheists have any belief in an afterlife? I have to assume you don't. I'm honestly curious as to how an atheist lives live with that lack of hope? To think this life in the end means nothing is so foreign to me... I believe (as do all Christians) in Heaven as much as I believe in this present life. Life without that hope is meaningless. In all seriousness, what do you live for?

[PicturaSonus]

@liquidledz I hate to be that guy that reprimands your comment, but that's definitely not what the video was about. With all due respect.

They said nothing about the need to believe in God. It was all about studying what God really is/what God really wants from us/for us.You don't have to blindly throw away everything you believed prior to learning about God. In fact, it's best if you don't.

Really what matters is that you gain your belief from your own studies, not from some mass of people.

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

Thankyou, WaterBrookMultnomah!

It's just what we need.

[Smiley4997]

This video has more questions than answers....

[simoneves1]

Awesome video, have to keep watching it to remind myself why I'm struggling with this essay and what my aim should really be :)

[iLuckyyy]

That was some dodgy maths..

[cadoah]

@iLuckyyy koine greek...

[Xigano1]

Well made video, but when it comes to the contens I highly disagree.

Theology has never proven anything.

All they have ever come up with are well structured assumptions,

based on unproven religions.

In my opinion it the worlds longest running waste of brainpower and money.

[PicturaSonus]

@Xigano1 Theology is important because it lets you formulate a belief based on what you have learned, not based on what other people have told you to believe. Your theology could be Atheism, and as long as you made the conclusion through research and meditation on your inner thoughts, it's credible.
