based exclusively on race. People were not enslaved because of their nationality or the color of their skin. In Bible times, slavery was more a matter of social status. People sold themselves as slaves when they could not pay their debts or provide for their families. In New Testament times, sometimes doctors, lawyers, and even politicians were slaves of someone else. Some people actually chose to be slaves so as to have all their needs provided for by their masters.
The Bible does not specifically condemn the practice of slavery. It gives instructions on how slaves should be treated (Deuteronomy 15:12-15; Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1), but does not outlaw slavery altogether. Many see this as the Bible condoning all forms of slavery. What many fail to understand is that slavery in biblical times was very different from the slavery that was practiced in the past few centuries in many parts of the world. The slavery in the Bible was not ..continue
FrankieSayRelaxxx1 You took the bible out of contexts. Hosea 1:2 and 3:1. God commands Hosea to marry Gomer, but after bearing him three children, she walks away from Hosea to her lovers. The symbolic emphasis can be seen clearly in the first chapter as Hosea compares Israel’s actions to turning from a marriage to life as a prostitute. The second section contains Hosea’s denunciation of the Israelites but followed by the promises and the mercies of God.
Historians and Academics said that the Temple of Artemis was only a myth until it was found in Turkey by archaeologist some years ago in the 20th century. They said that the City of Troy from Homer's book the Iliad was a myth until archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered it in Turkey in the 1800s. They said that the Exodus out of Egypt was only a myth until an underwater archaeologist found 3500 year old chariot parts and animal bones in the Red Sea. So yes archaeology does back the Bible.
Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled, specifically and meticulously, often long after the prophetic writer had passed away. There are close to 2000 prophecies that have been predicted in the Bible. So far every single one of them has been fulfilled including the book of Revelations that’s currently being fulfilled in front of our eyes. Bible Prophecy has been historically 100% accurate, no other ancient book comes close. This is what you expect from an omniscient and omnipotent GOD.
JESUS CHRIST, HIS CATHOLIC-UNIVERSAL-APOSTOLIC CHURCH, SACRAMENTS, THE BIBLE, MIRACLES, HEALINGS, ST. MARY APPARITIONS, MESSAGES FROM HEAVEN, SIGNS IN 2011 ARE NOT A MYTHOLOGY BUT THE REALITY !!!
I’m amazed on how you say Christianity has no evidence without explaining how you came to this conclusion, or even hinted of what evidence would be acceptable. What is your definition of logic? Saying Christianity is illogical without explaining why it's illogical in the first place only proves that your bias and for what-ever reason have some type of grudge against Christianity. Does NOT however prove Christianity is illogical just because you say so, and without Backing your OWN claims.@Franki
@jcgambit7 It is illogical for a number of reasons... First, the bible makes many claims that are not backed by any form of evidence, such as archeological, historical etc. plus it makes claims that cannot be verified (eg. there is a God, Yahweh, and Jesus was the son of God). Supernatural claims require supernatural evidence, and there is none. Secondly the bible is absolutely PACKED with contradictions between verses and common beliefs of modern Christians today. I shall elaborate..
Your responses on there being no evidence to back up the Bible seem very vague. It seems to me that when you say no evidence, you’re referring to no proof right? Just so you know, evidence doesn’t prove; it supports. Contrary to what you said, the bible is supported historically and archeological. The remarkable evidence of fulfilled prophecy is just one case in point…continue
@jcgambit7 ... One of many is God's conflicting views on adultery. I am sure you are aware of the 'Thou shalt not commit adultery' verse. There is also another one: Hebrews 13:4 "Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." However, he seems to endorse adultery/adultresses in Hosea 1:2 and 3:1. Most Christians seem to think that God is an omnibenevolant, merciful figure filled with love, when that is far from the truth if they are going by the character of Yahweh in the bible...
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 If God chooses to judge his creation who turn against his law and establishes a law to burn daughters of the priest for whoring around how is that wrong? As for Hosea and his wife, how does that endorse adultery if God tells Hosea to have make her as his wife and produce children with her? If the bible is not true in your eyes I'm assuming you're an atheist. So when you subjectively declare God as immoral, it is merely your own opinion to what is right in which you do not hav
@hatementality There we go, the "atheists have no absolute morality therefore they cannot criticise Yahweh's" argument. Firstly, I support secular morality. During the last few centuries the morals, laws and attitudes of people have become increasingly secular, and continue to do so today. In the old days known as the 'Dark Ages' there was widespread religious barbarism such as crusades and 'witch' burnings, all endorsed by the church, and....
@hatementality ... science was also heavily repressed as the typical religious attitude during those times was that knowledge was dangerous. That is why so little scientific progress was made during those centuries. But during recent centuries, were Christianity began to lose its influence, scientific progress suddenly sky-rocketed. Our quality of life got better, there is less religious barbarism in the once deeply Christian nations of the Europe and the USA...
@hatementality ... all while the religiosity of these nations decreased. People live longer, are happier, healthier and live much better lives than ever before, all without the need for Christianity. Now, I'm not saying that the fall of religion is completely responsible for the rise in quality of life, but it defientely played a huge part in it all. And I am also not saying that with no religion there would be no barbarism. But no doubt there would be significantly less.
@hatementality ... If you look at the most secular countries of today: Japan, Finland, Norway, Denmark, France etc, the statistcs indicate they are the more peaceful, enjoy higher qualities of life and lower crime rates, les poverty, less teen pregnancies, higher income per capita etc, than religious countries generally do. No doubt there are a few exceptions, but the statistcs support the following claim: ...
@hatementality ... That generally, the more secular a nation is, the more peaceful and more moral it will be and the higher the quality of life it can provide for its inhabitants. The statistics even look favourably on the irreligious/atheists as individuals. If you look at the prison statistcs of America and consider the following variables: Christians make up about 75% of the whole population, while the irreligious make up about 10-16%. one would expect a similar ratio...
@hatementality .. of Christians to the irreligious in the prison population, but in reality this is not true. In prison about 75% are Christians while LESS THAN 1% are irreligious. There have been all sorts of studies on the relationship between one's education/intelligence and religious beliefs. And they almost always find that the higher your intelligence or education level, the less likely you are to hold any 'beliefs' of any kind....
@hatementality ... in 1988, 93% of the members of the National Acedemy of Sciences "did not believe in a personal God." The bible says: "The fool in his heart says there is no God, they are corrupt, their deeds are vile, there is none that doeth good." Statistically, the bible is wrong. Your move.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 You can ramble on about Christianity and religion in general but this does not conclude that God does not exist. Religions are man made obviously and men only know how to construct things that destruct which indicates humans are not perfect. You can only say that you do not fall for admiring religions because of its awful history. You are forgetting that so much good has come out of Christianity as well.
@hatementality I am not forgetting that good things have come from Christianity. I will list them: Charities, great artwork and architecture. That's about it. Notice what they all have in common? They can ALL be achieved through secular means as there is NO tangible benefit of religion that cannot be achieved through secular means! You are right that my 'ramblings' do not conclude that God does not exist. But they directly contradict the Bible, the supposed Holy Word of an...
@hatementality ... omnipotent, omniscient, omni-benevolent God. But do you think the charities and great artwork and architecture are worth the gigantic amount of misery and pain and suffering and death that Christianity has caused or helped to cause over the years? I don't think so. And it should be clear as crystal to anyone else who looks at its history with an unbiased eye...
@hatementality May I remind you that Buddhism is technically a form of atheism, though it is still a religion. Buddhists follow the teachings of Buddha, but they do not believe in any form of deity. Just because you can't see any meaning, purpose or value in life without God does not mean other people can't. Strangely enough not everyone else in the world have the same opinions about life as you do, and you are extremely arrogant in your belief that your opinion is the be-all-and-end-all...
@hatementality ... based on absolutely nothing. To be taken seriously in a discussion like this you need to base your arguments on FACTS, not baseless pre-set opinions and prejudices fed to you by your creationist buddies.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 I am well aware everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But consider this; if there is no God, there is no significance in human life. There is no objective purpose, meaning, or value ONLY subjective. You can pretend that the universe has a meaning but you would only be fooling yourself if there is no God. This is not an opinion of mine but a philosophical statement of reasoning. As for the ugly side of Christianity again, men are not perfect. God did not create religion.
@hatementality In the grand, over-arching sense you are right, but it doesn't matter, because life has different meanings and values to different people. Who cares if there is no meaning assigned to life by a God? Especially if no God exists in the first place. What matters is what it means to us human beings!
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 Since we have agreed to this point, consider a quote from C.S. Lewis. "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning." There is an explanation of the universe which we can find in its external cause, God.
@hatementality So what if C.S. Lewis said that? You are guilty here of a logical fallacy known as the "argument from authority" in which you rely on the person's fame or reputation, rather than on logical arguments or empirical evidence. It means nothing to this argument if C.S Lewis' opinion was like that. I could just come back at you with a quote from Stephen Hawking about how physics leaves no room for God, but that wouldn't be a very good argument for exactly the same reason...
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 Haha you are right when pointing out I appealed to authority. I didn't mean to deem his quote as absolute truth, however, just to make you think. Let me rephrase his thinking in my own words. How can we know that the universe has no objective meaning? Something that does not exist has no meaning. The universe exist therefor must provide an explanation form the necessity of its own nature or from its external cause.
@hatementality We don't know the universe has no objective meaning, we can't. So why do you seem so certain it does? I do not pretend to know if it does or not, but I see no reason to believe it does. Define what you mean by "meaning." Meaning to what exactly?
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 You either do or you don't believe the universe has meaning. Meaning has to do with significance, or why something matters. And I can use purpose in this context as well which asserts a goal, or a reason for something. It is absurd to think the universe and humanity has no objective meaning or purpose. No thing (the opposite of something) has no meaning. We should not come to the conclusion that the universe and humanity serve no objective meaning or purpose but the opposite.
@hatementality "It is absurd to think the universe and humanity has no objective meaning or purpose. No thing (the opposite of something) has no meaning." You have yet to give a valid reason for this. You are merely asserting it.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 However you cannot deny that the universe does have an objective meaning. If you deny an objective meaning, you would be lying to yourself and denying absolutes and the laws of logic.
@hatementality Tell me WHY I would be "lying to myself" and "denying the absolutes of the laws of logic" and maybe I will take you seriously! In other words... give a REASON like I asked before!
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 Without God being a lawgiver, there would be no absolute right or wrong. The laws of logic, mathematics, morality, and science, are abstract entities which cannot change. These laws are universal and not man made. The only explanation for these entities is the knowledge of a transcendent designer. If there is absolute truth, and one would not accept it but rather make up their own formulas, he would be deceiving himself.
@hatementality "Without God being a lawgiver, there would be no absolute right or wrong" It hasn't even been established there is such a thing as "absolute" right and wrong as you put it.
"The laws of logic, mathematics, morality, and science, are abstract entities which cannot change. These laws are universal and not man made. The only explanation for these entities is the knowledge of a transcendent designer." Pahahahaha, no logic, mathematics, morality and science...
@hatementality ... were all created by humans. Logic, mathematics and science are simply methods created and developed by humans over the years to help them explain and observe the world around them. Morality is simply a name for certain types of human behaviour. Humans created these things not God! How do you even think you can prove your claim?
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 "Logic, mathematics and science are simply methods created and developed by humans over the years to help them explain and observe the world around them" I am talking about the laws of logic mathematics and science. NOT the methods. I.e. the laws of gravity. The laws of mathematics in which 2+2 always =4. These laws are abstract and were provided by a Designer. Denying an absolute truth is self deception.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 As for materialistic intellectualism, this can only build a faith in naturalism in which there is no objective meaning, purpose, nor value for ones life. Our universe popped into existence without any explanation which results in no objective law for us intelligent thinkers to follow. Everything that exists, must have an explanation of its existence. Either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause. If you disagree with the Universe to having no explanation
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 then there is no significance in life. Astromomers and scientists are firm in believing the universe will soon run into doomsday in which all will die off and cease to exist. What does it matter if you life like Stalin or Martin Luther if we all are going to cease to exist and everything on Earth which we have accomplished passes away into nothingness?
@jcgambit7 .. Among other things, he endorses laws that instruct to "put to death" homosexuals (leviticus 20:13) and "burn alive" priests' daughters "who commit fornication" (Leviticus 21:9). God also endorses slavery (so many verses - I'm sure you are aware of tehem). Before I continue further, how aware of the Old Testament are you?
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 The Old testement contains 613 commandments. These laws were considered the Mosaic Covenant in which Israel failed to practice. However God declares in Jeremiah 31:31-34 that He will establish a New Covenant. "I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." And in Luke 22:20 Jesus says, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." All sins which men commit shall now be forgiven through the new covenant.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 Im very fimilar with the Old Testament. While many agree that the Old Testment laws may be strict in its punishments,but you have to ask yourself does this disprove god? God does have alot of mercey but he also has a wrathful side for the wiched. Gods ways are not mans ways, dont forget this, so dont expect god to bend for your rules. I made the chioce to give him the benefit of the dought that he knows what hes doing. After all he gave man life and created the universe.
Christianity is an illogical faith-based cult with absolutely no evidence to back up what it preaches. The only difference between Christianity and other organisations that are commonly known as cults is the number of followers, of which Christianity has many more. But it has exactly the same amount of evidence and logic behind its teachings, none!
God has always been fare and given mankind a way out. But insted, mankind chooses to Steal, murder, commit aduldtry and other sins. Our choices determine our fate. The Christian faith is now base on the New Testament. Christ death was not just for our sins but we no longer have to live in the Old Testment era anymore. If you want Solid Proof Study the NWO(New World Order) and the illuminati and tell me that lucifer doesn't exist. You tube Has many good videos about them.
Excellent speaker... but I disagree on "loving the church" ! Love the Vatican ? The ex-nazi NWO salesman who insults God with is clothes, defends pedophiles with LIES, is a zionist false-Jew, treats Bush like a dignity, LIES about God like any other fuckin "church" ? NO WAY ! Even the building is an insult to God ! Any way Eve cheated Adam with Lucifer twice : Caïn and Abel, read Genesis 5 and THINK ! So this guy is either not complete or another false-priest.
@animefan2k9 : that's just a convenient "intellectual" double-talk definition ! The Apocalypse starts, in Ap 2 and 3, by saying that 7 "churches" are wrong and against God in 7 named cities, saying "the church OF Philadelphia" and the other 6 cities... BUILDINGS and their staff ...thus your definition is another abstraction created by "religions" another abstraction layer to mix and screw humans... this was invented in Babylon, 2:9 and 3:9 says that Babylon false-Jews = Satan.
Daniel 2:31 says all empires come from Babylon and this is proven by history... the Queen-Pope-Suprême Commander of the "United Kingdom" armies (incl. Canada in 2011) descends from King David who's pictured as the God of many false-Jews of Canaan in Genesis which was written in DOUBLE-TALK by Moses borned in Ür (Babylon) where "Kings" said they were Gods... they are now still Kings but also ALL governments. Churches are clearly against God : tell me how many proofs you need ? Number ?
When Adam and Eve sinned, they brought sin into the world, and thus it is like a plague that never stops. God is not holding a grudge, this is simply the consequence of bringing sin into the world.
He wanted humans to have free will, but if he did not create the tree, we would never have the opportunity to do anything wrong, thus we would just be like robots.
May someone tell me what was the reason this young woman's atheist friend stopped reading beyond the scriptures explaining the punishment of childbirth for women?
@dmk2113 No one is saying that societies and persons need a Judeo-Christian world view to apprehend moral values. Or fabricate them, for that matter. But in the absence of God, ****************objective**************** moral values do not exist.
By the way, Ravi was speaking not on morals, but on purpose, when he mentioned the primordial slime.
@Legomyegoorj 'objective moral values do not exist' without God is just a trite and cheap statement. I could easily say that we are all simulations on a super computer from the future and it has created a set of objective moral codes (in fact, the simulation hypothesis can be supported by any of the theistic arguments: ID, cosmological etc). Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right.
@FryderykFChopin You're missing the point. Without some form of a moral law-giver, there is no basis for you to even know OBJECTIVELY what is right and what is wrong. I'm not saying you must believe in God to apprehend or even create for yourself SUBJECTIVE moral values--people do that all the time.
@Legomyegoorj I completely got your point and never argued for moral epistemology. I'm simply saying, All your arguments to support the existence of God can might as well be used for super computer that has created reality. The computer is 'the moral law giver'. I in no way adopt this view but with your arguments, this is a logical pathway.
@FryderykFChopin The teleological argument could indeed support a computerized-God hypothesis.
That's usually where the argument from the resurrection comes in. There are strange facts we are reasonably certain occurred around the time of the resurrection that, in my opinion, are better explained by supernatural causation. Take for instance the sudden emergence of the Christian church despite every predisposition to the contrary.
@Legomyegoorj I'm sorry but is it more likely that the laws of nature have been suspended or that gullible primates illiterate part of the middle east, were under a serious misapprehension. Historically, there is no reasonably certainty in relation to the resurrection. Even if it were true, it cannot be supported historically because a miracle is the least probable event.
@FryderykFChopin I think given that the earliest Christians--that is, the apostles--believed and were willing to incur the most unthinkable torture, or even die, for their faith, that they earnestly believed what they were preaching was true. They wouldn't have done any of these things if it were a lie.
I think mass hysteria isn't as plausible in virtue of the fact that the Jews had no belief in a resurrection--especially of a single individual.
@Legomyegoorj If you think, that just because a bunch of illiterate people were willing to die for their faith makes it true, it certainly does not get you to the 'reasonable certainty' of the resurrection of Jesus. The fact of the matter is, the Gospels are the accounts of 4 people - 4 anonymous authors who wrote at least 30 yrs after the death of christ and who were most likely not eyewitnesses presenting contradictory stories. Is this really enough evidence to base such claims?
@FryderykFChopin Why the quotes around 'reasonable certainty'? I'm not making the claim that any of these arguments are supposed to *prove* with absolute certainty that Christianity is true. If that were to happen, faith would be meaningless. But these arguments are meant to show that it is not unreasonable to believe in Jesus as having been resurrected, but that it is indeed very plausible.
Try watching some other videos on the subject of the Resurrection by William Lane Craig.
@Legomyegoorj I'm sorry but my argument remains unchallenged. The gospels are written by 4 anonymous authors at least from 30yrs after the death Christ who most likely not eyewitnesses and presenting contradictory stories. I submit that is not nearly enough evidence to support the extraordinary claims. Is it more likely that the laws of nature have been suspended or that a bunch of illiterate humans 2000yrs ago were under a serious misapprehension.
@FryderykFChopin THE AUTHORS ARE:MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN. SO THERE IS NO ANONYMOUS FACTOR HERE WHAT SO EVER. BY THE WAY YOU MAKE YOUR ARGUMENT I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO THE CORROBORATIVE HISTORY ABOUT JESUS, YOU ARE MAKING COMMENTS BASED ON DINNER TABLE TALK FROM PEOPLE WHO NEVER CHECK FACTS. A GOOD PLACE TO START LOOKING INTO THE SUBJECT: "THE CASE FOR CHRIST" BY LEE STROEBEL (FORMER LEGAL EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE).IF YOU HAVE HONEST QUESTIONS, INVESTIGATE!
@NOW4SURE Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were added on by later church leaders. No one knows who wrote them. If you had read your gospel you would realise that they don't make a single reference to their author besides John (written around 90-110AD) which alludes to 'a close disciple'. If you are going to a legal editor for ancient history, well, I rest my case.
@FryderykFChopin YOU WON'T GIVE THIS LEGAL EDITOR A CHANCE CAUSE YOU DIDN'T CHECK HIS WORK JUST LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T GIVE JESUS OF NAZARETH A CHANCE AND THEY MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY OF THEIR LIVES LITERALLY FOR JESUS CAME TO GIVE LIFE AND LIFE ETERNAL.
@NOW4SURE And you know the mind of God to say that he won't be in heaven? You know how God is going to judge Kim Jong Il? What if he sincerely repents before Jesus before he dies? Would he not be in heaven?
This man is a fucking idiot. He should learn what morality is before he talks about it. Not to mention that he assumes this women took it out of context which is true for her however is not true for the context. It most definitely was taken in the correct context and the bible unarguably puts women as servants and unequal disgusting things.
the only thing this guy said that made any sense, was when he quoted Bertrand Russell...Religion is a sham. a profit based business based on people`s tendencies to be superstitious, and wanting to believe that something else has controll of their lives.
Sorry, but you're making the same mistake as that atheist woman: taking things out of context. The text in Chorintians applies to the church there, which was organised verry different from what you know, and the text in Timothy reffers to pastors, not writters or teachers.
oh no, another "godly morallity" idiot. of course the universe is imorral, this man is sneaky. the christians dont follow the commandments that come after the first 10.
animals have morality too. its a product of group living creatures. this guy is also a white knight. god is a babykiller, massmurderer and sadist
Wait a tick... Why would God continue to punish men and women today for something two dead people did along time ago? To hold a grudge is to be god like? Why did he put the tree there in the first place? If my kid did something terrible, I would punish him, but I would not continue to punish him for the rest of his life, nor would I punish his kids for what he did when he was 5 years old. Can someone give me a rational answer to this?
The best explanation I have ever heard. God didn't punish Eve because she had no worth, He punished her because she had sinned. He also punished Adam for His sin. Men can no longer communicate with nature and animals as they were intended to do. It's no different when we punish our kids for misbehaving to help them see their mistakes and learn from them.
MAN was created first and woman second ,to be his precious help meet.
TRUE Christians focus on men as they have to be the leaders ,protectors and providers. That's what Christ did :he focused on twelve men to educate them and make them grow spiritually. He knows more than anyone that when men are motivated and appealed to ,everybody benefits from it ,women to begin with.
Modern christianity bashes men and idealizes women and wonders why men desert the church ? How hypocrit !
Well put. RZ is obviously ashamed of the Truth of God’s Word that indicates this woman should not be addressing this assembly (1 Cor 14:35) and women authors should not be teaching men (1 Tim 2:12ff). He is therefore part of the adulterous generation that falls under the condemnation of Christ in Matt 8:38.
Modern (so called) Christians have an idol : WOMAN. They are obsessed by it and don't give a damn of all the misandry that is plaguing the Western world ,weakens men and families. All that 'egalitarian 'bullshit is not of God and is not where to be found in the Bible. They are blind and can't see that Satan never attacks women but MEN. Have they ever read Exodus 1 and what Pharao did to new born MALES ?
Stop buttering up women ! It's a devilish trap to malign men and submitting them to women.
@framboise595 Agreed. We were created to help men. When God says "Wives be obediant to your husbands" He means that we should honor and give them the respect of being the protectors. There is a reason men are naturally more physically able to do this than women. Likewise God says "Husbands honor your wives". It goes both ways. Neither is a servant to the other, but put here to honor and love one another. Until people understand that, there will always be discord and anger.
How cunning is that girl talking about the woman's suffering the pain of childbirth as a right punishment to what she did. How tricky it is to give just one part of the verse to focus only on woman ,the new' godess' who can't do wrong ! How false !
Why doesn't she tell about the punishment God gave to man for having followed the woman (and thus reverse the right order) ?? That man shall get his bread with very much pain in a hostile soil ,whereas before everything was easy for him ??
@framboise595 Not only did men have to work the land in order to eat or do anything else, he was no longer able to be one with nature He lost his ability to understand the animals as Adam was able to in the beginning.Both were punished.Eve was punished for being deceived by Satan and Adam was punished for being able to be so easily persuaded to sin by Eve.He didn't need a snake.I think that's why he was punished more than she was. Women have forgotten man's punishment (yes I'm a woman).
@shivag73 Adam was punished more because he was actually responsible for everything including Eve. He was given dominion over all creatures and he was also given authority over Eve, but with authority comes responsibility and Adam shirked his responsibility. "Why did you eat?" "I took from the woman and ate". God wasn't too pleased that 1) He ate the fruit and 2) Then tried to deny his responsibility by blaming Eve. This is why in Romans and many other Scriptures it's called "the sin of Adam"
@shivag73 Beautifully said!! Thanx for your commentary! Women shouldn't be blamed for doing wrong or something that Adam also did? We are all guilty? No one is innocent! We have & will all sin. Adam on some level idolizied his relationship with Eve in order to turn from his relationship with God & cave into the sin? He was also probably had great empathy for what Eve had done on various levels? Adam had spent longer time with God & should have been a better example for Eve!
My God, after hearing the story of the woman with the alabaster box and how Jesus uplifted a woman's worth, it left me in awe... What a powerful message... :)
@bfinkish IF "owns" in this strange new internet language, means wins, or proves something - then you couldn't be more wrong.
Ravi is slick, but his reasoning all statdt from one position: id est there must be a god. Take that away (not hard to do because there is no evidence for a god) and his talk collapses like a house of cards.
Ravi owns nothing except a lavish lifestyle and a following of people who are easily duped.
He says what you want to hear - with a bit of dodgy logic thrown in.
/watch?v=8oU7i_2Gjk8 Heres the link to a video thats supposed to prove that theres not judgement day or a god I need some one to watch it then give me there opinio

@framboise595 Do you and the others posting on this vid truly believe the talking snake myth?? Really?
Only, I should tell you, it is an allegory about a guy being thrown out of a temple in Jerusalem. It doesn't belong at the beginning of the myth collection at all!
While I'm on, I'd like to remind you that your god "talks" about being "the first among gods" - and there are others mentioned: "El" is one, as in "Michael" "Bethel" "Israel" (it's pronounced "Ale")
@StrumstickJoe We do not believe in your god who kills the innocent, the helpless, the weak. Deceives many away from God who created and loved them first. Repent sinner!
I don't understand it - I haven't got a god. (none of us have)
I'm not a sinner - bit of an insult, that, but I'll forgive you.
I wasn't created, none of us were - and if you insist in believing that weird idea, then you must also believe that I was created this way - as was hitler, and as were 1.5 billion muslims etc.
Your beliefs are crazy, immoral and dangerous.
Find peace when you shed them.
Live long and happy, then die and go back to the stars.
@StrumstickJoe You weren't created? So you always existed?
And yes, we all have a God.
“Your beliefs are crazy, immoral and dangerous.”
Really? Which beliefs are crazy, immoral and dangerous? What constitutes insanity and immorality? What basis or justification do you have for making such statements?
@CarlosMarti123 3)..Some of those are extremists who kill and die for that craziness; but all the “moderates” give credence to those fanatics. The sooner we can marginalize religion the better.
Live without your imaginary friends. Try to leave the world a better place than you found it.
@CarlosMarti123 2)..It is immoral to think this could be so. Your reason for having morals appears to be based on the reward of heaven if you do, or the punishment of hell if you don’t – it is impossible to claim that you are moral under those circumstances.
It’s dangerous because millions of naïve people place less value on this our only wonderful life in the belief that there is an afterlife…
@CarlosMarti123 1) “Not created? So always existed?” – Something wrong with that logic!
“all have a God.” No we don’t – that is a statement in isolation, without evidence, and indicates delusion. Religion is crazy because it has such presumptions of imaginary entities.
Christianity tells the lie to children that they are evil, then compound this with the story that they may have their sins absolved by a dead Palestinian..
@StrumstickJoe Your statement regarding Christianity has an error in it. The man you proposed to be dead is not a Palestinian but an Israeli and although He did in fact die, He was raised to life after three days in the tomb and showed Himself to be alive by many infallible proofs. His Name is Jesus. His position is Son of God, Savior of the world. Acceptance or denial of the fact does not change truth
@wbt572002 Oops - thought he was supposed to live in Palestine! Doesn't matter much, though, because I don't believe he existed at all - there is certainly no evidence. And IF he did, then still nothing proves divinity. The resurrection story predates "his" dates (check Mithra) and wouldn't prove he was who you say he was even if it were true. How come his pre-destined brutal murder is supposed to save people? Never did get that.
@StrumstickJoe In ancient times, (paraphrasing bigtime here), a sacrifice had to be slaughtered in order for sins to be forgiven. It (usually a lamb) took the penalty for the person's offense (sin) against God. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice in that he was perfectly innocent. He knew no sin and loves you so much that he died in your place. When God judges you, if you have sincerely received Christ, he will see the blood of the lamb (Jesus) upon you and will know that your sins were paid.
@theoracle8191 In ancient times, In ancient times, In ancient times, In ancient times, In ancient times, In ancient times, In ancient times....
Let's move on, eh?
God judges me? Didn't he make me and preordain my life? - What's to judge??
You're confused - as anyone would be who believed that trash!
If you read the JC character with open eyes, you will find that it is a completely lunatic character, with dangerously inconsistent, and primitively brutal characteristics.
@StrumstickJoe Believe me my friend, I have seen Jesus with open eyes. I know what it is he did for me and what he did for you also. And by doing that and doing that only, by believing in him, can we really see this world for what it really is and then, start truly living for God. Like you said, start living but live for God. Please don't waste your life in anger. You have far more being offered to you in Jesus' name than this world can give :)
@theoracle8191 2) So, pray: Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name we pray that you cure them all, Amen.
@theoracle8191 I am not a rich man; I am not a well man. I would like for all other people who are suffering through no fault of their own, to have the suffering ended.
The prayer was not from me - for my own gain (deliberately) it was for you religious people to pray for something unselfish to make life less painful and longer for those who have been given cancer by your creator.
Your quotes are meaningless, for they are from a heartless, mindless book of vindictive nonsense.
@StrumstickJoe "Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:4-6. I pray you find peace and truth through God, brother.
@theoracle8191 1) I don't believe you. Your religion is a myth. It is strange (and common) for christians to say atheists are angry. I am not angry. I believe anger to be a base and silly human emotion. This would be why, of course, I recognise your "wrathful" god as a human creation. It would be weird for a "creator" to demand supplication and worship. JC apparently said: Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours…
@StrumstickJoe Your unbelief is your choice. God is not forcing you to believe in him you have to understand that without God to complete you, there is no life. You may get by as the wealthiest, most adored man on this earth but what else did JC say: What good is it for a man to gain the world and lose his soul? As for the wrathful God, there is no love without chastisement. No parent can say they love their child and then let them do as they will. We love them by correcting them.
@CarlosMarti123“Your belief, immoral and dangerous. Crimes committed in the name of the Christian god. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the Witchhunt, the 30 year war. The Conquistadores.

First off, I think you need to read up on what 'response' means. Not the mere definition of the word, but the denotation of it.
Second, I assure you that the woman (the friend) he was actually speaking to will not share the same view you are sharing. [Emphasis on the word 'assure']

#-1 What is the fucking obsession with Christians and the name JESUS?.......#-2 Any book that say's that the son of God is the Lord is the book of truth.So this means that the Bible in itself is just another book, a good book for that source of that truth.The son of God which is the Lord '''''TRANSCENDS''''' everything,even the name JESUS.
"Jesus" is the only name given by which man can be saved, not "Lord". "Lord" is a title. Just like "God" is a title, whose name is "Jehovah". (Some would say "Yaweh").
You are calling the bible another book- mainly because you can only read it in English.
If you were able to read it in perhaps Herbrew or better yet Greek- you would read and understand that the word "the word of God" used in the bible, means "from the very breath of his mouth" no other book can hold that claim.
@Omnipharious You Christians are sad and pissed off people.You believed that ''''ONLY CHRISTIANS'''' will be saved.And you cannot stand the fact that the whole of the world is saved.We don't have to do anything to be saved.And what's more important.......We don't have to be Christians to be morally correct and morally good.
So far I've noticed that almost all the comments are condemning feminism and femenists to all of you I'd like 2 say shut up u lot feminism only means fighting 4 women's rights I mean shouldnt women be equal 2 men?

@charis324 that's not feminism is you clown, that's what feminists CLAIM to be about, so they don't look crazy.
"women's rights" is an ideology which was achieved decades ago, so no one is actually fighting for this, because they don't need to. modern day feminism is about suppressing people's rights, by telling women they must behave more like men, and telling men they must behave less like men. i am deeply opposed to any ideology which tells people who they should live their lives.

based exclusively on race. People were not enslaved because of their nationality or the color of their skin. In Bible times, slavery was more a matter of social status. People sold themselves as slaves when they could not pay their debts or provide for their families. In New Testament times, sometimes doctors, lawyers, and even politicians were slaves of someone else. Some people actually chose to be slaves so as to have all their needs provided for by their masters.

The Bible does not specifically condemn the practice of slavery. It gives instructions on how slaves should be treated (Deuteronomy 15:12-15; Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1), but does not outlaw slavery altogether. Many see this as the Bible condoning all forms of slavery.

The symbolic emphasis can be seen clearly in the first chapter as Hosea compares Israel’s actions to turning from a marriage to life as a prostitute. The second section contains Hosea’s denunciation of the Israelites but followed by the promises and the mercies of God.

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled, specifically and meticulously, often long after the prophetic writer had passed away. There are close to 2000 prophecies that have been predicted in the Bible. So far every single one of them has been fulfilled including the book of Revelations that’s currently being fulfilled in front of our eyes. Bible Prophecy has been historically 100% accurate, no other ancient book comes close. This is what you expect from an omniscient and omnipotent GOD.

@Legomyegoorj 'objective moral values do not exist' without God is just a trite and cheap statement. I could easily say that we are all simulations on a super computer from the future and it has created a set of objective moral codes (in fact, the simulation hypothesis can be supported by any of the theistic arguments: ID, cosmological etc). Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right.
FryderykFChopin 3 months ago
@FryderykFChopin You're missing the point. Without some form of a moral law-giver, there is no basis for you to even know OBJECTIVELY what is right and what is wrong. I'm not saying you must believe in God to apprehend or even create for yourself SUBJECTIVE moral values--people do that all the time.
Legomyegoorj 3 months ago
@Legomyegoorj I completely got your point and never argued for moral epistemology. I'm simply saying, All your arguments to support the existence of God can might as well be used for super computer that has created reality. The computer is 'the moral law giver'. I in no way adopt this view but with your arguments, this is a logical pathway.
FryderykFChopin 3 months ago
@FryderykFChopin The teleological argument could indeed support a computerized-God hypothesis.
That's usually where the argument from the resurrection comes in. There are strange facts we are reasonably certain occurred around the time of the resurrection that, in my opinion, are better explained by supernatural causation. Take for instance the sudden emergence of the Christian church despite every predisposition to the contrary.
Legomyegoorj 3 months ago
@Legomyegoorj I'm sorry but is it more likely that the laws of nature have been suspended or that gullible primates illiterate part of the middle east, were under a serious misapprehension. Historically, there is no reasonably certainty in relation to the resurrection. Even if it were true, it cannot be supported historically because a miracle is the least probable event.
FryderykFChopin 3 months ago
@FryderykFChopin I think given that the earliest Christians--that is, the apostles--believed and were willing to incur the most unthinkable torture, or even die, for their faith, that they earnestly believed what they were preaching was true. They wouldn't have done any of these things if it were a lie.
I think mass hysteria isn't as plausible in virtue of the fact that the Jews had no belief in a resurrection--especially of a single individual.
Legomyegoorj 3 months ago
@Legomyegoorj If you think, that just because a bunch of illiterate people were willing to die for their faith makes it true, it certainly does not get you to the 'reasonable certainty' of the resurrection of Jesus. The fact of the matter is, the Gospels are the accounts of 4 people - 4 anonymous authors who wrote at least 30 yrs after the death of christ and who were most likely not eyewitnesses presenting contradictory stories. Is this really enough evidence to base such claims?
FryderykFChopin 3 months ago
@FryderykFChopin Why the quotes around 'reasonable certainty'? I'm not making the claim that any of these arguments are supposed to *prove* with absolute certainty that Christianity is true. If that were to happen, faith would be meaningless. But these arguments are meant to show that it is not unreasonable to believe in Jesus as having been resurrected, but that it is indeed very plausible.
Try watching some other videos on the subject of the Resurrection by William Lane Craig.
Legomyegoorj 3 months ago
@Legomyegoorj I'm sorry but my argument remains unchallenged. The gospels are written by 4 anonymous authors at least from 30yrs after the death Christ who most likely not eyewitnesses and presenting contradictory stories. I submit that is not nearly enough evidence to support the extraordinary claims. Is it more likely that the laws of nature have been suspended or that a bunch of illiterate humans 2000yrs ago were under a serious misapprehension.

@FryderykFChopin THE AUTHORS ARE:MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN. SO THERE IS NO ANONYMOUS FACTOR HERE WHAT SO EVER.

The best explanation I have ever heard. God didn't punish Eve because she had no worth, He punished her because she had sinned. He also punished Adam for His sin. Men can no longer communicate with nature and animals as they were intended to do. It's no different when we punish our kids for misbehaving to help them see their mistakes and learn from them.

@framboise595 Agreed. We were created to help men. When God says "Wives be obediant to your husbands" He means that we should honor and give them the respect of being the protectors. There is a reason men are naturally more physically able to do this than women. Likewise God says "Husbands honor your wives". It goes both ways. Neither is a servant to the other, but put here to honor and love one another. Until people understand that, there will always be discord and anger.

Women have forgotten man's punishment (yes I'm a woman).
shivag73 7 months ago 14
@shivag73 Adam was punished more because he was actually responsible for everything including Eve. He was given dominion over all creatures and he was also given authority over Eve, but with authority comes responsibility and Adam shirked his responsibility. "Why did you eat?" "I took from the woman and ate". God wasn't too pleased that 1) He ate the fruit and 2) Then tried to deny his responsibility by blaming Eve. This is why in Romans and many other Scriptures it's called "the sin of Adam"

@shivag73 Beautifully said!! Thanx for your commentary! Women shouldn't be blamed for doing wrong or something that Adam also did? We are all guilty? No one is innocent! We have & will all sin. Adam on some level idolizied his relationship with Eve in order to turn from his relationship with God & cave into the sin? He was also probably had great empathy for what Eve had done on various levels? Adam had spent longer time with God & should have been a better example for Eve!

@StrumstickJoe In ancient times, (paraphrasing bigtime here), a sacrifice had to be slaughtered in order for sins to be forgiven. It (usually a lamb) took the penalty for the person's offense (sin) against God. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice in that he was perfectly innocent. He knew no sin and loves you so much that he died in your place. When God judges you, if you have sincerely received Christ, he will see the blood of the lamb (Jesus) upon you and will know that your sins were paid.

You are calling the bible another book- mainly because you can only read it in English.
If you were able to read it in perhaps Herbrew or better yet Greek- you would read and understand that the word "the word of God" used in the bible, means "from the very breath of his mouth" no other book can hold that claim.
