If jesus rose from the dead, where was the sacrifice? I've often wondered why christians find it so noble and uplifting that a person who supposedly was immortal was giving such a huge sacrifice. And did we ask for it? No. I wouldn't want someone to sacrifice himself for me so I could feel guilty for the rest of my life. And that's the crux of it, isn't it? Religion is about guilt, among other things. Its about having control over people.
Every-time I go snorkeling I wonder: if god created all of the life on earth and was supposedly a divine being, then why are humans destroying the earth? The world is ancient and primeval. Human beings were not created by a divine being, the world is too complex for any human to create.
2a) Because he has given his life out of love. 2b) I can't answer this as I don't really understand why it would matter, apologies.. I guess if someone has raised themselves from the dead then it's pretty impressive and I'll probably think that they must have something about them!
Just as a side point 'Trust but verify,' seems pretty similar to Thessalonians 5:12-24 which encourages faith in God but also says 'Test Everything. Hold on to the good.'
2. Not judging.. Judging whether someone has a nice voice is different to judging a personality based on their voice. I believe the bible says that we will be judged in the way that we have judged ourselves, not that we shouldn't judge which, as you say, is impossible. As for self judgement, surely that is massively encouraged? (eg 2 Corinth 13:5)
1. Taking the assumption that the flood and Job are literal as you have: no, I wouldn't agree with that with my human brain and would find it horrific but as a human, I barely even understand myself so how can I be expected to understand the actions of God fully?
Look at it this way. According to the bible, everyone in the world at the time, except for Noah and his family, were the most corrupt and violent you can get. Why would he allow them to continue? Its not like they were going to get any better. Hey thanks for the video though, it made me stronger in my beliefs.
You need to brush up on your Ancient Near East texts. All flood narratives (and there are hundreds) are polemic arguments for the existence and authority of certain Gods. It was never meant to be taken literally (along with Genesis 1-11). The vast majority of seminaries do not and HAVE not taught it as a literal story for a very long time.
For more info, see "inspiration and incarnation" by Peter Enns.
by the well of Allah; you will become muslim Sooner or later, i can see you are smart and islam is for the smart people, you can be a good muslim scholer. as a muslim i can see in you what others cannot, you are decent and you are a beliver, dont let your arogant carry you,.....Just submit
Quickly addressing the flood as a "horrible" act of God.. hmm.. by your standards maybe. Do remember that sin requires death.. and not just here on Earth.. wait untill you are exposed to Hell.. now that is something to cry about. Thankfully it does not have to be this way thanks to Jesus. In short.. you need to understand basic Bible knowledge and start with that the base line that your righteousness is filthy rags to God... then figure out why that is?
Well said/done Joe… ★★★★★ The christian`s imaginary god character written about in the bible is clearly evil. It even admits that it creates evil.
”I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” - Isa 45:7(KJV)
And if you care to verify this; the Hebrew word being (râ‛âh) means “Evil”, so if you have a bible with any another word then it has been translated wrong. ;O)
Tough Questions? yeah..right....you can plug away at all the science and hypothesis you want
What else could have caused 11 cowardly men to change, risk and eventually lose their lives in the name of what they believed? Tell me, what happened to ALL of them. Peter denied, Thomas doubted...tell me
@davehutchinson67 -dying for something doesn't make it true. Take Muslims who die for their "holy war". their belief's are obviously false, but they are still willing to risk their lives and die for their faith.
Here we go again....focus on the allegorical/historical stories of the Bible and forget all about the love and sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Same old Same old with atheists...always asking the wrong questions...the question for Christians is this: Why do you believe what you do? Pure and Simple. Oh..and btw, never met an atheist in war....
@davehutchinson67 What sacrifice? If for some psychopathic reason, a god asked you to let yourself get killed, for him, in order to end world hunger and guarantee world peace, would you do it? I would, without a doubt. And if you would resuscitate? Even easier...
"never met an atheist in war" ; maybe that's because atheists are peaceful/anti-war and don't belong to any death cults. Religious sickofans like Bush and Bin Laden LOVE war. Atheist countries are anti-war.
@dredoc1 Wow.. you are delusional - look up these people and events surrounding them just to start - Mao Zedong, Khmer Rouge, both made Hitler look like a child.. If you want more.. let me know. (This is only 3 examples..)
Here we go again....focus on the allegorical/historical stories of the Bible and forget all about the love and sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Same old Same old with atheists...always asking the wrong questions...the question for Christians is this: Why do you believe what you do? Pure and Simple.
Dude answer some questions Do you believe in the devil? if you do what will that devil disaggree with and dont like? cant answer why do you refuse to believe in god? is it you cant see him if yes pray if you wont pray answer this question do you think that the earth just poofed up? why ? or why not ? if someone kicks someone in the balls does that nessacrilly mean that everyone does if someone shoots bears does that mean no more bears ? Please answer with your heart not with your pathetic brain
People who believe in the bible are not thinkers! Hum, I just "thought" up that statement.. lol I can turn around and say "People who believe that something came from nothing are not thinkers", this is a dumb video, lace with straw men arguments. This guy had NO clue about Christianity
@chrismac1980 Actually the person uses the Bible, in context, to raise valid yet controversial points about God.
Additionally, if people are not willing to question, examine, or reflect on such points, then they demonstrate that they in fact are not thinking. They are merely blindly following.
[People who believe that something came from nothing are not thinkers] Technicality of Quantum physics aside...'macroscale creation ex nihilo' is a Biblical (neither atheistic nor scientific) claim.
@davehutchinson67 "if you believe in the big bang theory then you believe something came from nothing...right?" Unfortunately that, especially in the tone, implications, context, and meaning that you hold, is you projecting your ideas onto a position that you don't understand.
However, simplistically, in fact it is OBSERVED that particles DO come into existence even in PURE VACUUMS. Ergo it's a natural process for "something to come from nothing" and doesn't need God to explain it.
"if you believe in the big bang theory" Science doesn't require belief. Science demands facts and testable, falsifiable predicitions. The very status of "Theory" in Science is that is demonstrates both traits repeatedly. The evidence is plentiful and even ten minutes on the internet, not even the myriad of peer-reviewed scientific articles, would indulge even Jesus himself.
Also the "Big Bang" doesn't require "something came from nothing" and is just as valid even if it couldn't.
COME ON, WE AS HUMANS ARE NOT VERY SMART MOST OF US ACT MORE LIKE ANIMALS, HOW CAN YOU KNOW ABSOLUTEY THEIR IS NO GOD, EVEN CHRISTIANS DO BELIEVE BY FAITH.
@59Disciple were smarter than the bronze age shepherds that wrote the holy books we have. We also know a ton more than they did. we know enough not to be scared of the hell that were threatened with because we know it does not exist. Let go of your boogymen and grow up, there arent any monsters in your closet anymore.
@59Disciple Wrong. "Christians" do not believe by "faith". They believe out of emotional plea. Nonbelievers tend to be more "moral" than most believers because we tend to follow the Golden Rule without having to be blackmailed emotionally by other mere humans. "Faith" is inherently dishonest.
There is a flaw in your thinking. Namely God is much much bigger that we are, so our little brains are not enough good to find out what is good /bad. Only God knows sometimes. So flood etc is one of those that our little brains cannot understand why its good. But God knows... So you have to HUMBLE YOURSELF and understand that you are only a dust and God has the REAL understanding. So christians want to live in humility this way.
You are young, therefore naive. So I shall be kind to you. Most professors in Academia, are very arrogant and are unredeemable assholes. I'm trying to teach you, stupid people don't respond to kind teaching, so I must be harsh with my education. You are an ignorant fool. "I realized that it was an ancient legend based on a logical flood."
Everything in the bible from Deuteronomy, to Ecclesiastes were written by ignorant old men, with second hand eye witnesses.
well sir, that is some great research u are doing of the Holy Bible, but i ask u sir to read it more, and you will find more answers. go into the NT, and read of his love. He loves u sir he really does, and i am not judging at all because he is the judge not me.
You make the point that I've chosen to make in my arguments. Xians who accept the flood, the mass murder, slavery, etc., are lacking in human decency & compassion. They appeal to a Cosmic tyrant rather than just basic morality. And regardless of what they say about morality, they too choose to follow man's moral concept.
What's kinda scary is how easily so many people can submit to...what I conclude is an evil entity, simply bcuz of it's claim of omnipotence and it's threats of hell, of course.
Hey, you are an idiot. For an atheist, you surely have a misconstrued view on Christianity. I'm a self-proclaimed anti-theist, with a dash of pantheism. You bring shame to every agnostic, atheist in the world. God, CREATED EVIL. Without balance, the world would cease to exist. It's all a gag, one great fuckin' gag reel. God sets the motion, two sides. Humans are the guinea pigs. Our choices, determine our morality and alignment towards good and evil. Ying and Yang. Clay and Water.
I find it funny & intriguing that all religions world-wide come directly fr/ astronomy. The only thing (almost) that I disagree a lot about is them f_ing w/ epilepsy & other neuro conditions & then saying it's devine,etc. Just a grand mal epileptic's view.
God's "horrible" actions are explained, by God, in great detail, within the Book of Job, chapters 38-41, believe it or not. It's the least popular book in the Bible, and for good reason.
Christ's sacrifice is that He endured human hardship. Nobody can, therefore, say: "What does God know of human suffering?". He was born poor, lived in a dictatorship, experienced the death of close loved ones, betrayed by one of His confidants, abandoned by the rest His condifants, despaired greatly, arrested, thrown into prison, tried and convicted to death for a crime He didn't commit. was tortured, and was executed. The wounds still remained after the Ressurection; remember "doubting Thomas".
Brought back to life after 3 days and you get to be god for ever is a sacrifice?
The idea of 'sacrifice' of animals or humans is brutal, cruel and immoral. No thing can take away the 'sins' of another. And whence the 'need' for such sacrifice? What fool, in the story, set up the Adam thing, KNOWING what would happen, and then blame YOU and ME for what one twat 'did' thousands of years ago? A bungling, twisted, pernicious arrogant fool. Luckily fictitious.
@derek24hudson God the Son always coexists with the Father, with the Holy Spirit, eternally. As a person in the flesh, Christ didn't "pass the test" to become God. He was already born God, but also fully human. Nobody's getting "the blame" for Adam's sin. The effects of Original Sin remain. Take a nail out of the wall and there's still a hole. But, the void can be filled. The effects of every sin last. Maybe, athiests should really brush up on the theology they arrogantly claim to be debunking?
More of this theological white noise! The concept of 'sin', let alone 'original sin', is nonsensical, and iin the case of 'original sin', immoral. You're an expert on theology, as you state, so answer these points please and educate us;
1 What is original sin?
2 What was the purpose of the jesus sacrifice thing?
3 How do we get 'saved'?
4 What happens, after death, to atheists, Muslims etc?
Give it to us straight, and let's have a debate on YOUR definitions.
@derek24hudson I never said I was an expert on theology. Only that you are manifesting vast ignorance in this subject. /// Original Sin is the tendency within all human beings to do evil, instead of good. /// "Jesus sacrifice thing"? (That's really cure by the way! :P) I've already adressed that. /// Nobody gets "saved" per se. Salvation is a process; a striving for holiness and unity with God. /// God judges each and every single person according to their individual deeds and knowledge of them.
I really think you don't know the bible as well as I do. 'No-one comes to the father except by me'. You know that, don't you. It is BELIEF in Jesus at the Son of God that counts..no deeds, no knowledge.
Striving...process? Not according to the bible I have studied for 50 or more years, and which I know intimately, as a former Evangelical.
The warped morality of religion makes you say that people have a 'tendency to do evil'. I find most folks kind, helpful and good. Like us.
@derek24hudson The Bible is not the only source of truth. As a Roman Catholic (which I believe to the be the true faith) I don't adhere to the Protestant tradition of sola scriptura theology. The Bible itself contradicts "Bible only" theology in the New Testament, via Ss. Peter and Paul. /// People do, in fact, have a tendency to evil. Perhaps, for most, not great evil, but still evil in it's most tiny form is still evil. /// PS There are sweeping contradictions in Protestant tradition theology.
Finally, a smart roman catholic with some semblance of knowledge in theology.
I'm simply disgusted by these Christians of late, professing the goodness of the teachings of Jesus. Then cursing, swearing, fornicating and drinking afterwards. The hypocrisy of the Modern Day Christian.
The reason God flooded the damn Earth is because he was unsatisified of his creation or just plain bored. I mean right after the rain waters have receded he was satisified by the smell of animal sacrifice. That was the REASON WHY HE DIDN'T FLOOD THE EARTH AGAIN . It was merely because of satisifiying his lust rather than behaving more morally! Damn talk about a loving, forgiving God!
The supposed GREAT FLOOD, was a local flood. It wasn't a global flood. Are you that inept in Basic Science? You are a shame to the atheist community. It would take all the ICE in SIBERIA, both POLES, and ANTARTICA. TO MELT in order to produce SAID FLOOD.
@Romansteel13 what the fuck? I never said the flood happened and I realized that it was an ancient legend based on a logical flood. Even if you melted all the ice caps in the world the sea levels wouldn't go up by more than 200-300 meters which is nowhere enough water to flood the entire Earth you dumb shit.
LOL, you are funny. 200-300 meters, I loved how you pull bullshit out of your ass and present them as facts. I don't trust high school kids, I have a Ph.D in Astrophysics and Climatology. I think I know more about the magnetism of the earth, and physics. Than some dumb 17 year old kid going to high school living with his parents. Thank you, I rest my case.
Nice to see an intelligent rational American on Youtube. Having been to the USA over half a dozen times I can safely say that most Americans are not as stupid as their far right Christian fundamentalists make out. I keep telling my friends here in Britain that most Americans are not dumb. Christians from the US make so much noise about their religion and beliefs you can excuse Europeans from getting a false impression of Americans.
God gives us freedom of choice. God did not force Pharoah to sin. God gave him the freedom to choose right and wrong, just as he gives that to us and we make that choice every day. it says God hardened Pharoah,s heart. and how many times did it say that Pharoah hardened his heart towards the Jews? The Bible is the Word of the living God
@buzzobug The point of the matter is that GOD hardened the pharoah's heart, that one time0 once is enough- and was enough- and pharaoh refused to obey god directly BECAUSE GOD HARDENED HIS HEART, and children were killed b/c of it.. by god, in passover.
Answer to Question number 1. That is a definite YES but God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Isaiah55:9
We may ask "where's God in all this," "this" being catastrophes, etc... Well who knows how the creator of all this works but I can say that His overall agenda is to bring us all to repentance. There is some things we won't understand but there is so much that we can understand if we stop and think about it. God is in control of everything.
the Lord Jesus is God the Son and one day i am going to see Him face to face just as scripture says, and by the way God has spoken to me. and i don,t mean in an audible voice. I mean somewhat like how He spoke to Ejaiah. Go read of it. He said to me a long time ago now that " I love you" it was when i was praying to HIm one evening. I will take that to my grave and then face to face with the one who bought me with his own blood.
As far as your logic with the sacrifice and resurrection and hes either dead or alive makes no sense. The body that he sacrificed was put in the tomb which was weak and earthly. The body he was resurrected in was that body changed and glorified to be eternal. Read 1 Corinthians 15.
@35youngdemar Moses said let my people go, and god hardened the pharaoh's heart so he would refuse, then god killed all the firstborn.. including the pharaoh's own child..
Yeah, no free will, benevolence or logic there- god punished the pharaoh for doing what he was literally forced/controlled by god to do?
@ryddelwearsahat , Pharaoh hardened his own heart as God gives freedom of will. Just as God gives you the freedom to choose. and you are responsible for your own actions. now figure this one out, God chose me and i chose God and one day i will see God , the Lord Jesus face to face. and there worship Him forever.
@buzzobug but if the pharoah hardened his own heart, why did GOD harden his heart- that IS what the bible says- are you calling your own holy book a misprint?
@ryddelwearsahat, and what did Paul say in the new testament. did you not read of how Pharaoh keep hardening his own heart. God gives us the freedom of choice. If it you want to spend eternity seperated away from God then He will let you. God did not create a bunch of mindless robots. He expects us to use our minds as much as we can. and did He not say to come reason?
@buzzobug Oh, I do reason- which is why the bible is a lie, to me. God made th epharoah refuse- the bible even says so.. telling me otheriwse is lying, outright- or calling your own holy tomes a straightup lie... which they are anyway. God is real, but he is not a manmade book of hate, slavery, and hypocrisy.
..do you think a rape victim should be forced to marry her rapist?
@ryddelwearsahat , as i said it is your choice just as i made the choice a long time ago to believe in the Lord Jesus as God the Son who bore all my sin on the cross and was buried and then on the 3rd day was raised back to life again to never die again.
You choose to go after death where there is no escape from as God is not a kill joy.
Remember this Jesus is God and one day is going to return for his bride. the chosen ones, that is the redeemed of the Lord. Just as Paul wrote about .
@buzzobug I didn't 'choose' anything- wanting something to be real or not doesn't make it so, and believe me- I'm pretty lazy. If I could so easily go 'oh lol god is reel lulz' and not feel like a blathering buffoon, ignore all the outstanding facts and signs that tell me otherwise, or the emotional and bodily rejection and aversion to such a hateful, shameful belief, I would, just b/c it requires no though, or effort- just blindness.
But sadly I know how to read, so I can't do what you do.
@ryddelwearsahat, you make choices every day. when you awake from sleep and go on with life that day. i do the same thing. God did not create a bunch of robots. Look around and see the beauty of God,s creation. It is easy to see. Adam and Eve sinned and we are born just like them. We sin by nature and by choice. the Lord Jesus came just as scripture said he would and so lived the perect life which we could never live and why do you think the Jews wanted him killed? He was raised back to lif
@buzzobug ..you misunderstood me, whether by 'choice' or by ignorance. Tell me, do you choose what foods you do and don't like, music, colors, people, ect? Or do certain things come inherently? Do your opinions come from nothingness, or did they develop as you did through life, through experience, education, and exposure?
I don't 'choose' to see all the fallacies and ugliness that is your manmade god for what they are, and I can't choose to forget them and play stupid. -c
-c Telling me to bleiv ein th eibbl enad bleiv ein god is ludicious- simply buecas eI have read the damn thing. And when I did, I ripped it cover to cover and threw it away like the hateful garbage it is. You are like every other xtain/catholic/jew out there- you want to pick and choose what parts of your faith and bible do and don't exist, and try to excuse, lie about, or simply deny whatever passages are politically incorrect, and you don't even REALIZE you're doing it. THAT IS LYING. -c
-c Either all of the bible is real, or none of it is, because the bible says in a few parts throughout that not one jot nor tittle shall be changed, he world shall be fulfilled, Jesus even says the old testament laws still apply- and yet here you are, calling your own holy tome a liar? Who's choosing what, now? Did you decide the sky is purple not blue, or that certain parts of history do not exist as well?
God took away free will to kill children- and you can't do shit about it.
@ryddelwearsahat , as i said what did Paul say in the book of Romans about free will and also election of God? i would suggest reading scripture. God has chosen me since He revealed Himself to me, and yet He still gave me freedom to choose. Just as it says in the New Testament . book of Acts, some Jewish people it says refused to believe. Other words they refused God,s grace to be saved from damnation. See they choose there own desruction.
@ryddelwearsahat , we sin by nature as we are just like Adam and Eve/ and we sin by choice. Jesus fullified all the law. and the Law is there to prove the point that we can not keep it as He did. as it is said by Him if we break any of the law we are guilty of breaking all of it. So the law is to drive us to know that we need a Redeemer, the Lord Jesus who is the only Redeemer. He died for all our sin and was dead and buried and yet was raised again to life. ONe day at my death i will see Him
@buzzobug What Paul says has nothing to do w/ hardening hearts, or moses or the pharoah. What you are missing completely is that god TOOK AWAY free will, and then killed CHILDREN in retaliation for the man he CONTROLLED through HARDENING HIS HEART AGAINST IS OW DAMN WORD. There is no excuse for that, and neithe your nor I would ever think such a thing, if done by people, to be reasonable at all- b/c we know inherently that is WRONG.
@ryddelwearsahat , i have been praying for a little girl as only 8 years old ,has stage 4 cancer. i don,t know her but she lives over in North Carolina. See she has only about 3-4 weeks until she passes away I would be crushed . I am not God so i can,t stretch out my hand to heal her. I have a little daughter . only 16 months old and i worry about her. as i am over 50 now. I know that she has inheirt my sin and i pray that at some point she prays herself to the Lord Jesus for salvation.
@buzzobug Punishing a child for the sins of the parent is also immoral- if you killed someone, does that mean your daughter deserves to be killed in retaliation, or go to hell? My father spent 17 years beating the hell out of me- does that mean I am at fault for his sins?
I suppose that cancer-ridden girl inherited sin, and is getting what she deserves as well?
There is nothing but excuse sin the bible, and vindictive, fear- and guilt-inducing ones t that. It is hate and control, not love. -c
@ryddelwearsahat that girl has cancer and it is very sad, now what do youthink. that God is up there saying ' wow wee we make that little girl suffer for her sin"? how stupid. when sin entered the world then all that goes with that rebellion came with itl. and that includes death.She is going to pass away at some point but seeing her twitter account then i think she might be a Christian and will see the Lord Jesus face to face. We all are going to croak, just like my lovely daughter.
-c Tell me, as a parent, do you want your child to come to you out of love and trust, or out of fear and guilt? Do you want your child to beg your forgiveness for being born, something it had no say in the matter of, whatsoever? If your child made a mistkae would you send them to hell, eternal agony? Would you be ther eofr them, or hid ein the shadows and keep them guessing?
No? b/c you ARE a parent.. and god is not. A loving god and parent would not do the things god does.
@ryddelwearsahat ,my daughter trusts me even now=. don,t know if you are a parent. but wife and i are very blessed. as we got married late in life. And God forgave us from the Cross. He did not have to but did even while we were His enemies. figure that one out. God is Love and God is Just , just as scripture says. As i said God did not create a bunch of puppets. God wants all to come to him and i do and i do so because i love Him. He revealed Himself to me and one day i am going to see Jesus
@buzzobug ....you aren't answering anything I have to say. You're just testifying.. how fitting, and proving of my point- there is no way you can answer or even TRY to reason what I've said w/o turning on your god.. even when what I've said is right in your own holy book.
@ryddelwearsahat , sorry but you won,t believe me and go your own way and suffer the consquences of your own actions, it is your choice just as God has said and one day you will see that i am right. i stand behind what i have said. that the Lord Jesus is God and it is only through HIm can one be in God,s presence for all eternity and be very blessed. . You belong to your God and will be with him unless you repent of your sin and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. for all that call
@buzzobug ....Everything you say to me just proves my point- you are in denial of you OWN god's word.. and painting a pretty picture instead of answering my question just drives it deeper. You're telling me your own bible is a liar. You're telling me your own GOD is a liar.. simply by refusing to even address what I said.. what your own scripture says. god is evil, god is manmade, and his word has brought more bloodshed, fear, hate, slavery, misery, rape, and murder than EVERYTHING else EVER.
@buzzobug , you probably won,t believe me, but one nite while praying many years ago God spoke to me. Not in a audible voice. but just like a gentle wispier in mind. He said to me >:I love you:" That was around 1988 , i think in the fall of the year. Ahh so many years ago now. Trust me i was crying then as the God who created everything spoke to me. I am a nobody but somebody to Him. I will go to my grave knowing that. and then be in the presence of the Lord Jesus for all eternity.
The Sacrifice was on the cross when he shed his blood and gave up the ghost saying, "It is finished". If you read the Old Testament you would know how the sacrifice was performed and carried out.
Why worship a dead man? Well to pose that question you must believe that once a person physically dies hes out of existence and thats it. Sorry. According to the Bible the Spirit and Soul lives on. So he was physically but not spiritually dead. And besides his physical body was raised 3 days later. P.S- He was God in the Flesh not a dead man.
Second. Jesus was not wrong. When the Bible speaks of Judge not, its speaking of Hypocritical Judgement. Jesus says, Dont speak of the dust in your brothers eye when you have a plank in your own. Its Hypocritical Judgement thats wrong.
In Genesis 3 God promised the seed of the woman would bruise satans head. Which means Christ had to be fully man. So Satan tried to pollute the bloodline by having the fallen angels produce a line which Christ couldnt come from. Thats why God sent the flood to wipe that whole line out and saved one human family.
Number 1- God destroyed the people with the flood not because they were all sinners, but because if you read Genesis 6, you would see the Angels cohabitated with women and had hybrid children,( Men of Renowned) as the scripture says. This is where Mythology originated from.
Are you an atheist? Because you said God was a tyrant! Or are you just angry because something bad happened in your life. Wow, I cant even answer you because you are not a serious atheist. You obviously dont know about science so I cant even go there with you. Wow, how about you do the research about the scientific things in the bible that could not have been known but through a Creator God, and we will see who knows the truth!
If you're concerned about god tolerating genocide through abortion; then your god is the greatest abortionist of all. Over 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Jesus died a horrible death for me; i didn't ask him to. god can kill me because he made me; then the xtian credo should be might makes right. If all babies go to heaven then why don't all christians practice infanticide? They would save all of those poor souls going to hell. Your mythology makes no sense. Bronze Age myths.
@camlynn50 , because it is an evil thing to kill a innocent baby. God gives us freedom of will. just as He gave Adam and Eve freedom of will. God did not create a bunch of pupetts
I agree with your view on judgements. The whole concept of being non-judgemental is a made up term. Whenever I come accross a person who claims to be non-judgemental I ask them if they like dogs? When they answer I ask them why because they've just made a judgement. The point is EVERY decision anyone makes is due to judgment. If someone ever claims to be non-judgemental it means they aren't able to make a decision.
By the Way: My Jesus is not dead. He lives within me and other Christians.
Oh, when you make your videos would you kindly stop putting words in the mouths of others.
Job passed the test and was blessed.
Judge Not does not mean Teach Not and there is reference in the bible telling you that you can judge but you cannot judge when you are equal in sin. Get the moat out of your own eye first.
You want God to tolerate genocide through abortion. You want God to love sinners. You want NO rules when Jesus Christ died a horrible death for you to live.
God is perfect , does not like sin and has the right as your creator to do away with you when your sin makes him sick. Today's world is really going to be wiped out in a horrific way because sin of today is horrific in nature. If I created people & they choose sin and disregarded ALL of my rules then it would anger me.Babies will go to heaven Death is inevitable. Death in & of itself is part of the punishment for sin.God gives you choices. You choose sin. Massive Sin. Do you have rules at work
If you are an atheist and you are taking the book of Genesis literally, then you are being as irrational as the fundamentalists who you criticize. It doesn't seem sensible or logical for you to call God an evil tryant, particularily if you don't believe that God exists. Let people decide for themselves, and quit being the devil's advocate in condemning a mythical event, the biblical flood.
@gsco82 Ok mr smart guy, why dont we also stop being so hard on Hitler. Just like people debate on the flood being mythical or real, there are people who dont believe the holocaust happened. Why dont we let people make up thier own mind? And hitler was just a man, not a so called omnipotent, omnipresent, omni benevolent diety.
Forming an opinion or judging Hitler is a bit easier because of the recent time frame and historical evidence. Of course everyone should make up their own minds. I certainly didn't suggest otherwise. I guess I should stop watching videos of atheists ranting against Christianity, because my comments seem to get misconstrued easily.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. God gave them a 120 years repent of their ways . but what did they do?
well the thing about is who caused their children to die is the parents who did not listen. ok. Who is reponsible for teaching their Children about what is Right and what is wrong. Our Children are gifts from God. blaming God or their actions.
Gen 6:5 ¶ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
Yes, the god of the bible is horrible. Thanks for posting that. It may prevent some of these Christians from defending their imaginary petulant tyrant.
Hey asshole Hypocrites, the bible isn't a salad bar, so you can't pick and chose what parts you want to believe in, while telling everyone to ignore other parts. It's all or nothing. So, phony Christian, continue ignoring all the parts of the New Testament you don't like, and latch onto the little nancy-boy verses you prefer.
Hello in there. God gave all those wicked people 125 years to repent from their sin they didn't want to listen to God they saw Noah building this massive ark he told them they could repent they ignored God and laughed and made fun of Noah just like your doing your given a choice to live in Gods world His way but people want to do it their way so God will GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT A LIFE WITH OUT HIM in hell. God is long suffering and a God of love but He is just. FEAR GOD
No babies are perfect they don't have sin they Go to heaven all of them until the age of accountability you err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
usahats-- sounds like your god has some self-esteem issues to work through, assuming of course, that you're not actually projecting your own insecurities onto some ficticious magic man in the sky.
The Bible is a book full of stories written by man, nothing more. There are no signs or evidence at all that there is a magical entity. People believe these stories of gods because their parents and peers tell them that these books are true of every word in them. What's the point on trying to rationalize common sense with religious people when it comes to this subject? The authors of these "holy books" are probably laughing in their graves for how many bought into these stories.
Its soo funny how people think that they can deside who God should be God is God like it or not he is in charge He knows everything and what he says goes. You will answere to Jesus when you die. This man will answere for decieving all the people that fall for his lies
The problem is you do not have any proof of any of this, therefore you, saying something that is not fact-based, are lying. The other problem is you do not realize you are lying. Poor, poor kid.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
zrykuen you are wrong and very dieceved. You want the Truth read the Bible you want to keep walking blindly Keep doing what your doing, but no matter what I or you believe when we die we are answereing to Jesus when we die
Its soo funny how people think they can deside who Zeus should be Zeus is Zeus like it or not he is in charge He knows everything and where he says goes. You will answer to Zeus when you die. This man will answere for decieving all the people that fall for his lightning bolts.
Holy crap did Jesus not see it fitting to supply your web browser with a spell checker? Spell checkaghs agh da devil bobby!
First of all, its spelled "Guillotine". Not "Gillotine". your spelling of it is probably an indicator of how you pronounce it, which is also wrong. It's pronounced "GEE-O-TEEN" (pronounce that 'gee' like 'key'). But more important than all that.... nobody uses a guillotine anymore, dumbfuck. French Revolution = bad example for the point you're trying to make. Would you like to try again, using a different method of execution this time? The chopping block, perhaps?
To the guy in the video: I'm an atheist, so this isnt motivated by my beliefs being threatened by you in any way.... but you really come off as a smug, annoying elitist. You seem so proud of yourself for having come up with these "deep questions" of yours, when they're SO fucking unoriginal. The most generic question we atheists ask is in this format: "If God is (blank) then why does he do do/allow/say (blank)?" These ARE questions you hear often dumbass. You make us look bad. Get over yourself
I want to congratulate most atheists (not band wagoners) for being part of the minority, according to psychological research
over 85% of people are perfectly content being sheep following the herd never questioning the world around them or the things they are taught. For that give yourself a hand !
However if atheism is correct and there is no God then death is the end.
If Christians are correct then death is just the beginning.
My point is don't be a sheep. Ask questions demand answers.
Calling out Jesus for "judge not lest ye be judged" is taken totally out of context. The quote in context is "Condemn not lest ye be condemned" A modern equivalent would be "People living in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks"
Chris-tian ADJECTIVE: Showing a loving concern for others; humane.
NOUN: One who lives according to the teachings of Jesus. How many "christians" fit that definition? About the same percentage that fit the definition of atheist.
"Proud to be an american atheist" I want to say that I love humanity in spite of all its faults. a·the·ist NOUN: One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.
Most atheists like most christians dont know what the title they take for themselves even means. Most atheists aren't morons, only a moron denies the existence of a God, creator, higher power or whatever you would like to call God. Most atheists merely reject the God that is "spoonfed" to them.
The problem with modern Christianity is that it was hijacked long, long ago. If you are curious as to why the flood happened you should check out some modern teachers namely Zechariah Sitchin, Chuck Missler or Tom Horn.
Unlike most christians I have asked these questions. The answer is not an easy one nor is the answer one most christians know. The fact is... get ready to laugh at me.... there is something "magic" about the shedding of blood combined with intention, intention being a key component. I am no seminary educated theologian, I am just a "regular joe" who wanted real answers to the "tough" questions.
Not the "spoonfed" baby food answers the mainstream church provides.
saynotodarwin read the bible! i bet you do NOT agree with every single moral in there, if you do you are not a nice person as you would stone a gay person for something they do in their own private life. if you dont agree with them all then you have a seperate guide to choosing whats right and wrong that does not come from the bible and have proven yourself wrong, so will you be an evil person or admit you are wrong? they are your only two choices. Have fun choosing!
First, stop the myth that babies are innocent. CHildren learn how to lie, steal and hurt each other without any adult teaching them. No one is innocent. Second you using a half arguement to make a point. Its blatantly obvious that you either simply dont understand what you're reading OR are working on the uninformed to sway them towards your way of thinking. The Genesis account was pretty clear why God chose Noah and why he cleansed the earth of the tampered strain of DNA by the fallen ones.
Yes, people love an almighty God(dictator) that despised a race of people and decided to rid the world of their evil doings....wait a minute why does this sound so familiar..... Actually read the bible. That is the first reason why I chose to be atheist.
Wow so if I believe that we evolved from apes. I'm going to he'll. If there is a god. Wich I hope there is that he or she will send me to he'll for not believing in him even if I'm a good person. Than I don't need a god that will judge me for my beliefs and not my actions.

If jesus rose from the dead, where was the sacrifice? I've often wondered why christians find it so noble and uplifting that a person who supposedly was immortal was giving such a huge sacrifice. And did we ask for it? No. I wouldn't want someone to sacrifice himself for me so I could feel guilty for the rest of my life. And that's the crux of it, isn't it? Religion is about guilt, among other things. Its about having control over people.

Just as a side point 'Trust but verify,' seems pretty similar to Thessalonians 5:12-24 which encourages faith in God but also says 'Test Everything. Hold on to the good.'

2. Not judging.. Judging whether someone has a nice voice is different to judging a personality based on their voice. I believe the bible says that we will be judged in the way that we have judged ourselves, not that we shouldn't judge which, as you say, is impossible. As for self judgement, surely that is massively encouraged? (eg 2 Corinth 13:5)

@davehutchinson67 "if you believe in the big bang theory then you believe something came from nothing...right?" Unfortunately that, especially in the tone, implications, context, and meaning that you hold, is you projecting your ideas onto a position that you don't understand.
However, simplistically, in fact it is OBSERVED that particles DO come into existence even in PURE VACUUMS. Ergo it's a natural process for "something to come from nothing" and doesn't need God to explain it.

"if you believe in the big bang theory" Science doesn't require belief. Science demands facts and testable, falsifiable predicitions.

Also the "Big Bang" doesn't require "something came from nothing" and is just as valid even if it couldn't.

So you have to HUMBLE YOURSELF and understand that you are only a dust and God has the REAL understanding. So christians want to live in humility this way.

Christ's sacrifice is that He endured human hardship. Nobody can, therefore, say: "What does God know of human suffering?". He was born poor, lived in a dictatorship, experienced the death of close loved ones, betrayed by one of His confidants, abandoned by the rest His condifants, despaired greatly, arrested, thrown into prison, tried and convicted to death for a crime He didn't commit. was tortured, and was executed. The wounds still remained after the Ressurection; remember "doubting Thomas".

@buzzobug Really? then what does it mean when god hardened his heart? WHY did he harden his heart?
Does that even cross your mind? Hardening a person's heart is making them hateful or STUBBORN- god made him refuse.
ryddelwearsahat 1 year ago
@ryddelwearsahat , Pharaoh hardened his own heart as God gives freedom of will. Just as God gives you the freedom to choose. and you are responsible for your own actions. now figure this one out, God chose me and i chose God and one day i will see God , the Lord Jesus face to face. and there worship Him forever.

@buzzobug but if the pharoah hardened his own heart, why did GOD harden his heart- that IS what the bible says- are you calling your own holy book a misprint?
ryddelwearsahat 1 year ago
@ryddelwearsahat, and what did Paul say in the new testament. did you not read of how Pharaoh keep hardening his own heart. God gives us the freedom of choice. If it you want to spend eternity seperated away from God then He will let you. God did not create a bunch of mindless robots. He expects us to use our minds as much as we can. and did He not say to come reason?
buzzobug 1 year ago
@buzzobug Oh, I do reason- which is why the bible is a lie, to me. God made th epharoah refuse- the bible even says so.. telling me otheriwse is lying, outright- or calling your own holy tomes a straightup lie... which they are anyway. God is real, but he is not a manmade book of hate, slavery, and hypocrisy.

@ryddelwearsahat , as i said it is your choice just as i made the choice a long time ago to believe in the Lord Jesus as God the Son who bore all my sin on the cross and was buried and then on the 3rd day was raised back to life again to never die again.
You choose to go after death where there is no escape from as God is not a kill joy.
Remember this Jesus is God and one day is going to return for his bride. the chosen ones, that is the redeemed of the Lord. Just as Paul wrote about .

@buzzobug I didn't 'choose' anything- wanting something to be real or not doesn't make it so, and believe me- I'm pretty lazy. If I could so easily go 'oh lol god is reel lulz' and not feel like a blathering buffoon, ignore all the outstanding facts and signs that tell me otherwise, or the emotional and bodily rejection and aversion to such a hateful, shameful belief, I would, just b/c it requires no though, or effort- just blindness.

We sin by nature and by choice. the Lord Jesus came just as scripture said he would and so lived the perect life which we could never live and why do you think the Jews wanted him killed? He was raised back to lif

@ryddelwearsahat , as i said what did Paul say in the book of Romans about free will and also election of God? i would suggest reading scripture. God has chosen me since He revealed Himself to me, and yet He still gave me freedom to choose. Just as it says in the New Testament . book of Acts, some Jewish people it says refused to believe. Other words they refused God,s grace to be saved from damnation. See they choose there own desruction.

@ryddelwearsahat , we sin by nature as we are just like Adam and Eve/ and we sin by choice. Jesus fullified all the law. and the Law is there to prove the point that we can not keep it as He did. as it is said by Him if we break any of the law we are guilty of breaking all of it. So the law is to drive us to know that we need a Redeemer, the Lord Jesus who is the only Redeemer. He died for all our sin and was dead and buried and yet was raised again to life. ONe day at my death i will see Him

@buzzobug What Paul says has nothing to do w/ hardening hearts, or moses or the pharoah. What you are missing completely is that god TOOK AWAY free will, and then killed CHILDREN in retaliation for the man he CONTROLLED through HARDENING HIS HEART AGAINST IS OW DAMN WORD. There is no excuse for that, and neithe your nor I would ever think such a thing, if done by people, to be reasonable at all- b/c we know inherently that is WRONG.

@buzzobug Punishing a child for the sins of the parent is also immoral- if you killed someone, does that mean your daughter deserves to be killed in retaliation, or go to hell? My father spent 17 years beating the hell out of me- does that mean I am at fault for his sins?
I suppose that cancer-ridden girl inherited sin, and is getting what she deserves as well?
There is nothing but excuse sin the bible, and vindictive, fear- and guilt-inducing ones t that. It is hate and control, not love. -c

Why worship a dead man? Well to pose that question you must believe that once a person physically dies hes out of existence and thats it. Sorry. According to the Bible the Spirit and Soul lives on. So he was physically but not spiritually dead. And besides his physical body was raised 3 days later. P.S- He was God in the Flesh not a dead man.

Second. Jesus was not wrong. When the Bible speaks of Judge not, its speaking of Hypocritical Judgement. Jesus says, Dont speak of the dust in your brothers eye when you have a plank in your own. Its Hypocritical Judgement thats wrong.

In Genesis 3 God promised the seed of the woman would bruise satans head. Which means Christ had to be fully man. So Satan tried to pollute the bloodline by having the fallen angels produce a line which Christ couldnt come from. Thats why God sent the flood to wipe that whole line out and saved one human family.
35youngdemar 1 year ago
Number 1- God destroyed the people with the flood not because they were all sinners, but because if you read Genesis 6, you would see the Angels cohabitated with women and had hybrid children,( Men of Renowned) as the scripture says. This is where Mythology originated from.

If you're concerned about god tolerating genocide through abortion; then your god is the greatest abortionist of all. Over 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Jesus died a horrible death for me; i didn't ask him to. god can kill me because he made me; then the xtian credo should be might makes right. If all babies go to heaven then why don't all christians practice infanticide? They would save all of those poor souls going to hell. Your mythology makes no sense. Bronze Age myths.

I agree with your view on judgements. The whole concept of being non-judgemental is a made up term. Whenever I come accross a person who claims to be non-judgemental I ask them if they like dogs? When they answer I ask them why because they've just made a judgement. The point is EVERY decision anyone makes is due to judgment. If someone ever claims to be non-judgemental it means they aren't able to make a decision.

The Bible is a book full of stories written by man, nothing more. There are no signs or evidence at all that there is a magical entity. People believe these stories of gods because their parents and peers tell them that these books are true of every word in them. What's the point on trying to rationalize common sense with religious people when it comes to this subject? The authors of these "holy books" are probably laughing in their graves for how many bought into these stories.

over 85% of people are perfectly content being sheep following the herd never questioning the world around them or the things they are taught. For that give yourself a hand !

If Christians are correct then death is just the beginning.
