  • The Bible is probably the best book ever. You can use it as a coaster, hit people with it, look funny and quote it, eat the pages, fire fuel, toilet paper, start a war, control the stoopid people of the world, read it and become president, Hanaukkah present, piss off the Muslims, and turn back the clock.

  • religon is confusing and confusion is deception god is to big to be put in a book look at yourself and every thing around you its not that hard to find god

  • @kideasy1 The Bible tells the world about Himself, about the depth of our brokenness and sin, and what God did to begin to restore the world through the person and work of Jesus. That is the Bible's clear theme and message.

  • The bible is confusing and confusion is deception god is to big to be put in a book stop looking in books and look at yourself and everything around you its not that hard to find god.

  • @SuperPoorthing Will God accept you on the day of Judgement? Do you believe you will be found perfect on that day? Jesus died to purchase our justification - to robe us in His perfection, so that we can be accepted into the Presence of Perfection and be found without stain.

  • THE BIBLE IS A FUCKING LIE THROW THAT BULL SHIT IN THE GARBAGE

  • @DIRTROAD487 Everyday the News gives testimony the truth of the Bible - that we are fallen broken people in a broken world in need of restoration by Jesus.

  • People have become so far removed from the bible and God, that He is nothing more than a fable to them. Science has become their explanation that excuses them from their consciousness and sin. Without God in the schools or politics new laws come into force that directly violate him, people strenuously object to Christianity and obscenely voice their opinions. God is a myth they cry? But they have deceived themselves and believe lies. God hasn't moved, he is still here. Only Believe.

  • EVOLUTION RULES. SUCK MY COCK AYE?

  • @MCSk0r People hide behind the theory of evolution because they don't like the idea of giving an account before God of how they lived.

  • Yeah I understand, why have science and reason when we can just accept the virus and stupidity of religion?

  • Comment removed

  • its about God's right to rule mankind. Started in eden when challenged by the 'serpent' and ends when Jesus crushes his (satans) head. It is the first prophecy in the Bible and is the last one to be fulfilled. Everything in between is to help us survive.

  • Fuck Jesus

  • @itsfakeandgay2 the Bible is a work of freakin genius!

  • @itsfakeandgay2 Theres no need for hateful comments like that.

  • @itsfakeandgay2 How about 'Damn Jesus'?

    Because that is what happened on the cross on your behalf. "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us." Galatians 3:13

  • Religion is childish :)

  • @NecKClippA Everyone has a religion. Even if you don't think in those terms. Everyone has something they look to in their life that gives them a sense of value, self worth and that makes them happy. This could be people, places, things and ideas. Christians are people who center their life around the person and work of Jesus.

  • @HeathMc Religion is a mind inprisonment that disables you actually using the power of your mind to find answers. Religion has done not a single good to todays community, only created wars, hatred and pain. Religion does NOT give someone a sense of value, worth or happiness. I beleive the complete opposite. And to base your only life living according to a fairy tale in order to get in a made up place in the clouds called "heaven" is damn right childish. Awaken.

  • @NecKClippA If you are honest with yourself you too have a religion. Even if you are not willing think in those terms. Your religion is [ anything ] you are living for that gives your life meaning, value, purpose and a self. Just by looking at your page your religion could finding your worth and sense of identity through the self expression of hiphop. Hiphop could be your"Jesus" in the sense that it saves you from the hell of boredom and gives your life a purpose. Expand your def. of religion.

  • @HeathMc I dont have a religion. PERIOD. Because i am free.

  • @NecKClippA Nope. you are a slave to something. Everybody is. Money, power, sex, approval, self expression.... everybody lives for something.

  • @HeathMc How the hell is materialism such as money, power, sex, approval, self extression considered as a religion??

  • @NecKClippA A religion does not have to be formal and organized. Your religion is what you are living for and is what makes you happy in your heart of hearts. Everyone has something they give their life to, give money to, think about, dream about, etc. Consider the expression, " I do [ fill in the blank ] religiously." The problem is we are enslaved to whatever we are living for and it will not satisfy. Only knowing Jesus will.

  • @HeathMc What other book can you think of that tells a story of an imaginary "son of god" the bible is just a book. You nee dreal evidence that your historical jesus actually existed.

  • @NecKClippA A slave to sin. Sin never leaves you satisfied it always makes you thirsty for more.

  • its ok, you're just a kid.

  • So Jesus gave us circumcision? So why if Paul encourages us not to do it? Did Jesus change his mind somewhere along the line?

  • @Wahnsinner Circumcision is a Jewish tradition.

  • @gilbert4321 Of course it is a Jewish tradition, that is not what is being asked. This video presentation makes the case that Jesus is the better or all the characters and situations of the Bible. What I am asking is why the change? Why did Jesus (i.e. one of the three parts of the Trinity etc. = God) change his mind? Paul exhorts that we should cease from the practice. Why was circumcision good for one time and not good for another? Why does God change his mind?

  • @Wahnsinner I know there's a answer to that question but i honestly cant remember it lol.

  • @gilbert4321 its ok, you're just a kid.

  • @Wahnsinner In 1800 BC God gave Abraham and his people (the Jews) circumcision as a sign of the promise of the coming Messiah. Thousands of years later Jesus fulfilled that promise, as well as what video layouts, in his life, death, and resurrection.

  • @HeathMc Thanks, that is interesting. I never saw it like that, though it might explain why the Jews hate Jesus! It just seems like a very strange thing to do, wouldn't you agree, even if it were temporary? And circumcision is still widely practised, isn't it? In America, Canada, Australia etc. most or majority of 'Christian' baby boys in those countries are still circumcised. How can Christians be so apparently casual about this issue?

  • Christians can learn from  pigs hahahaha

  • If its about Jesus then its about me. We are "one". There is no difference.

  • @Keyandrew1 Not sure I understand what you mean.

  • @theshifthasarrived Sounds like you are talking to yourself.

    You are really the one person! you got served.

    By the way:

    Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    Jesus Christ is the Lord of Lords.

  • @Jasperjones34 Answers: Men and God. Men and God. Men guided by the Spirit.

    BTW, Christianity is not based on the Bible. Just the reverse: the New Testament Bible came out of the Church. Jesus founded His Church, then the Apostles (or their witness) penned the writings that came to be bound in the NT.

    Jesus promised His Church would last until the end of time. No organization that is strictly manmade could possibly last for 2000 years, but the Catholic Church has.

  • @AmericanBerean OK there fella. If that helps you sleep better at night, you keep on believing that one!

  • @AmericanBerean OK, everybody, lets take a pol. Is Christianity manmade?

  • @2012isrealfool I'll take your poll. Yes, of course, Christianity is manmade.

  • @AmericanBerean OMG, really? This is why I don't like religion. Every religion thinks they are the ones who are right and the reason is because they are ALL manmade!!!!! Even Christianity!!!!!

  • @AmericanBerean You've got to be kidding. Do you seriously believe that Christianity is not manmade?

  • @fanofthewettwat All manmade religions' founders died and are still dead. Jesus was a real man. He was executed on a cross then was resurrected! Proof that Christianity is divine in origin, not manmade. There is sufficient evidence that it can be proven by the standards of a court of law. Read "A Case for Christ". The author is an investigative reporter. He started out researching to disprove Christianity. The evidence turned him around because it proved Christ existed and died yet lives.

  • @AmericanBerean Oh, thats right, he was resurrected, I forgot about that. If Christianty works for you or anybody else, that's great. Personally I could not care less what you or anybody else believes. But the simple fact is man wrote the bible and Christians obviously study the bible and build their faith off it.  I'm not going to argue with you any longer, like I said, I could not care less what you believe.

  • @fanofthewettwat

  • Look up "the math of the great flood". The guy bases his math on some unproven assumptions.

  • @AmericanBerean And what would those be?

  • I agree, Noah's ark is the most unbelievable story in the bible. I too believe in God but there is no way some of these stories in the bible happened the way it reads, simply impossible. Religion is manmade.

  • Everything logofrobe says is absolutely true, Great posts!

  • Look up "the math of the great flood" and tell me you still believe in Noah's ark. Common sense tells us there are so many impossibilities with this whole story. Now it is proven mathmatically. Seriously people, you need to wake up and start using the brain that God gave you.

  • @logofrobe I will look up "the math of the great flood" and consider what it says.

  • I believe in the Bible, The Holy Spirit, and Jesus. But I do NOT believe in the Old Testament. It says thou shalt not kill but then says kill people who don't believe, gays, adulterers, etc. I hate to say this cuz it's really blasphemous but either the Old Testament was changed by someone down the line or its fictional cuz I always thought religion was to promote peace and the Bible does not.

  • Own an under-aged sex slave you've "taken" from a neighboring country and beat her if she disobeys for Jesus :D....................... ~ Happy Blasphemy Day EVERYBODY! (Sad thing is, the Bible actually supports the above)

  • Great presentation.

    The Bible tells us how God fathered His family. Jesus His only-begotten Son is the fulfillment/transformation/per­fection of OT types and God's promises and blessings of His covenants. "The NT is hidden in the Old and the OT is revealed in the New." Jesus is the oath ("sacramentum") God swore to Adam and Noah and Abraham and Moses and David. He took the curses we owed for breaking the covenants upon Himself so we can be adopted sons of God.

  • I don't understand how so many people can put so much faith in a book that has so many contradictions and inconsistencies. Boggles my mind!

  • @logofrobe Many people see that the Bible gives us an accurate picture of ourselves and reality - we are broken, messed up people separated from God in a world that is out of order. The evening news gives testimony to this. Jesus died to remove our sin debt and bring us to God.

  • @HeathMc Sure, I understand that and that's fine. I just can't put any stock in it whatsoever with the unbelievable stories and stories that simply don't add up. If the bible works for you, that's great. I just don't like it when people tell me "this is how it is because it says so in the bible". People actually believe that if its in the bible it MUST be true.

  • @logofrobe There are a lot of credulous people out there who claim the name of Christian. Many don't know what they believe and why they believe it. What stories are you having trouble with? Some stories sound strange because of the ancient genres use. For example, in Genesis there are symbols not meant to be taken literally. They are to give you a sense of the thing happening. Others, like the Gospels, are meant to give you an historical account of the person of Jesus.

  • @HeathMc Noah's Ark for starters. Not saying it didn't happen but there is no way it could have happened as described in the bible. Adam and Eve - If we are all descendants of these 2 people, there wouldn't be multiple races. The bible states the earth is only 6 - 7000 years old. No way. We have so much scientific proof it is MUCH MUCH MUCH older than this. Plus all the contradictions. Sorry, only have 500 characters to work with, otherwise I could go on and on.

  • Comment removed

  • @HeathMc Heath - You asked if I believe in God. Absolutely, my faith in God has never been stronger. I pray to God everyday, I just don't study or live my life by the bible. I live by Christian values and principles but I can't call myself a Christian since I don't believe many of things that are in the bible. Religion is manmade and therefore influenced by man. If Christianity works for you (or anybody else), thats great, it just no longer works for me.

    Peace!

  • @logofrobe There is no scientific PROOF of an old earth. Facts and evidence can only imply an age. Actually, a recent, sudden creation is more tenable (though not PROVEN) when all the evidence is considered.

    The world-wide common stratigraphy supports a global flood in the past.

    As described in the Bible, Adam and Eve would have had complete, error-free DNA, with every characteristic you see in today's humans in their DNA.

    Population statistics militates against modern humans being 100K yrs old.

  • @AmericanBerean LOL. Wow, somebody needs to do just a little bit of research. 

  • @logofrobe Indeed. And when you do, you'll find that neither old-earth-evolution, nor young-earth-special-creation, can be PROVEN scientifically. The scientific method requires observation and reproduction to prove something.

    The facts and evidence we all observe are the same. The interpretations differ. But if you consider ALL the evidence and don't dismiss evidence you don't like, the young-earth-creationism model better fits the data.

  • @AmericanBerean Perhaps you've never heard of carbon dating. Fossils? It is well known and accepted that dinasaurs went extinct 65 Million years ago. You do believe in dinasaurs, don't you?

  • @logofrobe C-dating, U-Pb dating, mineral deposit rates, etc. There are many many different dating methods and the majority of them result in ages far far too young to be compatible with evolution model. So, the evolutionists simply ignore tests resulting in young ages instead of modifying their theories to fit facts. Also C and U-Pb dating rely on unproven assumptions:how much parent element originally.

    Dinosaurs were contemporary with Man (ie, fossilized footprints of both in the same mud).

  • @AmericanBerean Who said anything about evolution? I'm simply talking about the scientifically accepted way that fossils, human remains, animal remains are identified and how old they are. It is well known and accepted that dinosaurs went extinct 65 Million years ago. So if you say that dinosaurs were contemporary with man, then you must imply that mankind also lived 65 Million years ago. Now that doesn't bode too well with your bible does it?

  • @logofrobe Stratigraphy is the means by which the geologic column, and the fossil record, is dated. It assumed layers laid down gradually, one at a time, but recent science has demonstrated that the layering happens rapidly and sequentially in rapidly moving water. The Flood is supported by this fact.

    65m years is one theory. However, dinosaur flesh, frozen & dessicated, has been found. This flies in the face of reason, if they died 65m years ago.

    "accepted" does not mean scientifically proven.

  • @AmericanBerean LOL, the flood is suported huh? Do you understand how many species of animals there? It is literally in the tens of thousands if not more. How can anyone explain how the hell Noah went out and got 2 of each kind and put them all in 1 big boat, along with enough food to keep them all from starving to death for 40 days? Not to mention all the species that have already gone extinct. It is mathmatically impossible.

  • @AmericanBerean Also the bible says that every mountain top was covered with water. We know that the highest mountain is over 5 miles high. That means there would be 5 miles of water ALL over the planet. Where the hell is all that water going to receed? Back into the earth? I think not. The salinity of the salt water in the oceans would be greatly thin diluted thereby killing all life in the ocean. Come on people, use the brain that God gave you.

  • i would love to suck the toes of jesus and get off.

    HE is so hot. and sexy.

  • @smellyfooty o god come on im not eaven close to watching porn and thers a foot fetish coment

  • @ImposingAtheist The Bible gives us an accurate picture of ourselves and reality - we are broken messed up people separated from God in a world that is out of order. The evening news gives testimony to this. Jesus died to remove our sin debt and bring us to God.

  • Superficial! 

  • @EphremHagos What do you mean by that? Do you have a reason for saying this?

  • @HeathMc Of course, there are significant reasons for saying that the presentation is "superficial". The video omits the weighty evidence in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets and the Psalms with a direct and powerful bearing on fulfillment in Christ's death and resurrection and certainty thereof.

  • @EphremHagos I think "Superficial!" is an over statement and unfair. And to just drop that without giving your reasons is unchristian-like. The entire Bible points to Jesus but everything cannot be said in ONE video. This video is designed to be category creating - so that people understand that the Law, the Prophets, and Psalms point to Jesus. This gives them a new lens to go back to Scripture and see Jesus' fulfillment for themselves.

  • ALL HAIL SATAN, FOR HE BEARS ETERNAL DAMNATION! SATAN IS RULER, SATAN IS KING! LONG LIVE DAMIEN!

  • I love this. Thank you!

  • His whole purpose, was to make you His purpose...

    can you see the oneness?

    can you feel the Love!

  • Thats all true types of Christ and I learned and appreciate it, I differ however...

    Its about us- The image of God is male and female

    We are his body, he is our Head

    what good is a body without a head, what good is a head without a body

    It is not good for man to live alone.. ITS ABOUT US! you and Him!

  • This video shows that primarily the Bible is about Jesus not us. David and Goliath is not primarily about how we should slay our giants but point to the one who would come to slay the only giant that could really kill us. Secondarily* it's about us and our relationship to Him.

  • @HeathMc Harry Potter is so much better than the bible.

  • @hockeyfan202 Harry Potter is a great story because it is a derivative of the Bible's central theme - a man dies for his friends.

  • It is about Jesus and me because I am one with him I am part of the body and He is the head . Nice video.

  • Complete and fulfilled love, thanks to the video producers and all involved. God bless and keep you amen!

  • not everything thats in the bible is said by GOD some of it are just personal opinions written by the bishops" (bishops are humans too not GOD) just sayin peace!

  • @iheartcanada22 The Bible says that all of scripture is "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16) not the opinions of humans. The bishops you are talking about came hundreds of years after the canon of Scripture closed.

  • @HeathMc thats your belief my friend! but if you look closely to the bible there are some words that doesnt make sense.. and words thats kinda "discriminating" like the words about gay people.GOD would never hate any human being because we all came from him. the bible is inspired by GOD but GOD didnt write the bible a "PERSON" did. i believe in GOD and i dont need a preacher with a published book to prove how much i trust GOD.

  • @iheartcanada22 I'm not sure why you would say the Bible is inspired by God but say we can't trust it because a person write down the inspired words. God is powerful enough to transfer his thoughts through human mediums without error. Also, without the text being inspired you and I are both merely stating our subjective beliefs about God. You made some statements about what God is like, but without an inspired text you will just be stating what you feel like God is like. Thx for your comment!

  • @HeathMc the fact that we are all breathing in this world and we have tress and water thats ENOUGH REASON for me to believe that GOD IS POWERFUL! im saying i dont need another SO CALLED INVINCIBLE SUPERMAN PREACHERS that honestly are just ordinary HUMANS like myself, telling me GOD IS REAL because i already know that GOD EXIST within all the living things he created! thats all thanks to you too and GOD BLESS

  • p.s- im not gonna start a fight over youtube because we have different beliefs. GOD BLESS

  • The apostles chickened out, Jesus died and nobody around gave a fuck.

  • Thats pretty messed up

  • @Truthiracy1 ahahha let me try some wisdom. television. t(el)o vision. or the vision of el. ohh crap. this guy creates his own (vague) prophecies from the past, and fulfills them himself. because the word ben was meant to be altered to sun so we can see that jesus is merely a star in thesky. a bicycle is a bi (sickle) because theres 2 wheels of el. ahahha

  • @WAHCHINKSAPA07 so your saying satan created us? I see where you are coming from, and your right about humans but i think God created us and we rebelled and some of us fight to be good

  • The Bible. The Old and New Testament Scriptures are the record of God's progressive revelation to mankind. The purpose of the Bible is to bring us to Christ, and to reveal God's heart. Truth is unique, eternal, and unchanging, so any new message from God will be in conformity with the Bible and will illuminate it more deeply. Yet, in these last days, new truth must come from God in order that mankind be able to accomplish what is, yet, undone.

    - Divine Principal

  • Man good stuff! It all comes together to show Christ love! Amazing! !

  • Then why, in the New Testament, are so many letters written to the church on how we are to live now that we are the church? I believe the Bible is the old covenant and new covenant between God and man written for us so we can know his purpose for us and his purpose for the future. 2 Timothy 3:16

    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

  • As the Bible is about Jesus, about God, about his Word, we should be like him, willing to die for him, willing to follow him, take up your cross (die for him), willing to obey his laws if you truly love him, so the Bible is about Jesus, but for you, to know the truth, the way, and the life, which is Jesus who saves all who believe. Amen.

  • fuck the bible..people should mke their own bible....write your own story your own book! follow no man!

  • @mddarch2 Everybody does have their own bible and own Jesus. Everybody lives for something - something in your life gets you up in the morning that gives your life meaning and value. Whatever you live for is your 'Jesus'. And you follow the thing you live for. Jesus calls us to forsake these worthless idols and follow him, the source of true joy. You will follow something, you will (and do) live to honor and praise something.

  • the bible is a porn novel mixed with Harry Potter !

  • @AtaMbuMIL What are your reasons for saying that?

  • @HeathMc check  /watch?v=HwMyjKQ725E&feature=c­hannel_video_title if you want ,

    you will get it!

  • @AtaMbuMIL  Thanks, I will. And when you get a chance... /watch?v=Kxup3OS5ZhQ&feature=c­hannel_video_title

  • the bible was used to take land and a means to kill non believers so you can sick it up your ass

  • @akaOtara You are right. People have used the Bible to take land and kill people. But they have done the opposite to what the Bible teaches. Just because people call upon the bible and God to do horrific things doesn't not mean the Bible teaches it. The Bible says just the opposite. History books record people doing wrong things too, but just because it has a record of it does not mean we should repeat.

  • /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

  • The Bible is about no one, it's historical fiction.

  • @WHACHINKSAPA07 I don't understand the point your trying to make, why believe the bible and not the fact that God created us?

  • @IrishDoctorWolfe The humans...they lie, they betray, humans are natural born liers and who is the father of lies? Satan is!

  • I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe in the Bible, the only thing that I don't believe is that the humans were created by God. I don't know who, or what and why created the humans, but I am one hundred percent sure that the humans were not created by God, not by the God of love anyway...

  • the bible=ONE HUGH FAT PIECE OF LIEING SHIT!!!!!

  • @awsome5ful  What's your favorite book?

  • very nice

  • i never heard this entire sermon but i would argue that while the Bible is indeed about Jesus, it has to be about "us" to some extent. as we learn about what Jesus has done, it teaches US how to further relate to God and to other people- not for selfish reasons, but for His glory (so ultimately, yes, it's about Him). but a love story is always about two- Jesus was all about us, so we must be all about Him. having said all that, this teaching is on point about the entire OT foreshadowing Christ.

  • @rowancv It is only when you see the story ABOUT Jesus FOR God that you can truly understand the love story that we are invited into. Once we engage, we enter the story about Jesus for God. Then we become players in the story. But the story never becomes ABOUT us. This is a love story, not a romance story. There is a difference.

  • Book of Numbers 31.17" kill the boys and women who have had sex with men, but spare the virgins for yourselves"... If anyone believes this came from God.. Sorry you wouldnt have a CLUE about the nature of the creator of the Universe..The bible is not the book of God- far from it..The bible was corrupted by secret societies long ago....God is love. God does not order human beings to kill one another- Seek truth in your heart mind and soul. not all books speak the truth

  • Watched it again... it is about who Jesus was, is and what he did, but why? Because its clearly also about you & me and what we must do. The letters in the NT are all about how we need to respond to Jesus. The experiences & thoughts of the people throughout the Bible reveal to us how we need be if we are going to take Him seriously. I'm more comfortable with the idea that every sermon should offer practical direction so that we can be empowered by the teachings of the Bible.

  • Being right is over rated. Jesus wasn't overly concerned that Legion receive the 'right' training before going off alone with the message. The man healing people in Jesus' name "wasn't one of them," but Jesus didn't care about his theology or his hermeneutics. Maybe, more often than not, it isn't about right and wrong. Maybe its more about red and blue - in the middle we can find shades of rich color... and we shouldn't forget about green, yellow and everything in between.

  • @swplan76 The Bible is complex and speaks about many things, for sure. But primarily its theme is God saving a people for Himself through the person and work of Jesus Christ. The gleanings you learn from the parts will do you no good if you miss the primary teaching of the whole. Jesus said the Bible was about him (Luke 24:27, John 5:46). Keller is not being a reductionist. He is explaining what Jesus taught in Luke 24.

  • @GraphicChristology I guess that's the catch - who has a monopoly on the "primary teaching of the whole?" People who caused the formation of new denominations and cults have fought with others about this very thing. I personally think its a waste of time to lay such claims.

    Keller's ideas are great (Northrope Frye - Typology) Great stuff. I actually love nearly all of what he's presented here...

    But to deduce that the Bible is ONLY a finger pointing to Jesus is silly... its both/and

  • @swplan76 Not deduction, induction - observations from the background context of Biblical redemption sweeping the OT and NT. No one is saying "ONLY". Keller is saying Primarily. And he's saying it because Jesus himself makes these claims (Luke 24:27, Luke 24:44, and John 5:46).

  • He does pin one possibility against the other and the video concludes that "its not about you."

  • @GraphicChristology To learn what the Bible is truly telling us, we must put on the mind of truth. To put on the mind of truth, we must honestly and seriously seek truth, seek "that which is" beyond belief. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present (with religion) and read what it says. Everyone needs to read this, so pass it on to everyone you can reach.

  • @GraphicChristology

    So good

  • @GraphicChristology I have always wondered this... what is the christian god about? what does the bible teachings give humanity? I don't like christianity...

  • @5nereus The Christian God is about creating a world to reveal His Glory and creating people to know and enjoy it. In the Christian view, knowing and enjoy the beauty of the Creator God is the purpose of life. Sadly, we chose to sin against Him and worship ourselves. The Bible is the account of God coming to earth in Jesus to restore mankind's relationship with God by bearing the debt of our sins on the cross.

  • @5nereus ... and have the hope of seeing God in a restored glorified world free of sin, death, and disease.

    A good site that I enjoy learning from is desiringGod(dot)org Take care.

  • @HeathMc okay! thanks i understand now. but there are better ways.. reality is better than believing in something that does not exist. but of course i don't mind christians

  • To imagine that all the Bible is about is pointing to Jesus is to miss everything else that is going on. You say its only this, not that - maybe its only this AND that and a whole lot of other things too.

    Reductionist thinkers try to boil things down into the simplest terms possible, to box things up so that they can control, define and show everyone what they've found. Its a fool's errand. Instead of trying to keep things small, especially with God, keep trying to see what else there is

  • I think the speaker is presenting something profound. Its important to recognize that, yes, the Bible is about Jesus and how everything that came before him pointed to him...

    BUT...

    It isn't just that.

    Dualism says, "its either this or that - good or bad." Dualism leaves no room for awe and mystery.

    The fact is this: the Bible is complex. The Bible unfolds mysteries and claims that there is no end to the mystery. Its about Jesus, me, you, grace, war, fear, health, growth... so much

  • True

  • Amen. Too many professing Christians need to learn that the Word of God is about Jesus Christ, not us. Christianity is about Jesus Christ, not us. Everything is about Jesus Christ, not us.

  • You are singing my song, sir. The Bible and the Bible alone is our sole authoritative window by which to see and know Jesus. Contrary to MrJamesthecatholic -- JESUS IS HIMSELF OUR WHOLE SALVATION, WHOM GOD put forth as our propitiation in His eternity, in His incarnation, in His life, in His death, in His resurrection, in His ascension, and in His return.

  • THIS, is amazing. Thank you.

  • You suck, dilweed.

  • @pissedoff1019 such an intelligent response...good job!!

  • The only thing Jesus was better at was lying about creating mankind. Truth is the Annunaki are the real creators of man/women as written in the Sumerian Creation Story.

  • Does anyone know where the audio originally comes from? I almost feel like I've heard it before, or some of it. Was it a message at Together for the Gospel?

    @reydelfuegobpa, Keller didn't say it's ONLY about Jesus, but BASICALLY. His message is a balance to the tendency we ALL have to think that salvation is self-improvement and the Bible is a moral self-help book with examples to follow. If that is all we see in the Bible, we turn the Christian faith from a gospel back into a law.

  • @awm878 I heard that this audio is from Keller's message given at The Gospel Coalition conference of 2007. You should be able to find it in the TGC Podcast page on iTunes; I looked quickly but couldn't find an obvious link on the TGC web page...

  • So the Bible is not about me,and the way I should live my life to be a better person? So,if its only about Jesus let me keep on and continue sinning since there is no salvation for me then. This Man is a nut and all of those whom follow him are just or more crazier than what he is. Sorry my friend but the Bible its about me.and of course about Jesus Christ also.
