What if.... ?

[TimLavey88]

What if Vampires are real. What if they fear garlic? To protect yourself you only need to wear a braid of garlic wherever you go. What do have to loose? You will only stink of garlic and look ridiculous, but you'll be safe? If you're wrong you risk being turned into one of the undead and forever walk upon this earth. Cursed until the end of time. Do you really want to take that risk? Think about it. What if? What if? What if? :-p

[wheresmylife]

Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment."

[wheresmylife]

After reading through the comments, I find it interesting that those who mock this video were unwilling (or are they unable) to answer the question in this video. What if there is a God and you're going be accountable? Are you really willing to risk your eternity on it? If yes, then remember this moment because it will be re-lived over and over in your mind for eternity. If you're not sure, isn't it worth your ETERNITY to investigate the one question that determines absolutely EVERYTHING?

[drab100]

Threats are the last resort in any argument. Is that the best you can do?

[LogosApologia]

@drab100 You should think about the difference between a warning and a threat. Christians are warning you because they care, it's for your benefit.

[drab100]

@LogosApologia Proof please.

Surely I don't need to remind you that Islam, Hinduism, Judaism etc. all insist that they are 'the true path'. Not to mention that various sects of christianity all argue the same between themselves.

[LogosApologia]

@drab100 Proof? I'm not trying to prove anything to you, that is between you and God. I think there is very compelling evidence for the honest seeker, read John's gospel and perhaps take a look at the Case For Faith by Lee Strobel.

[drab100]

@LogosApologia Lee Strobel is not an authority on this subject. He makes scientific claims that are false (such as his opinion on the current state of abiogenesis) which he should not even make as he has no scientific training.

Johns gospel is simply a theological rewrite of the synoptic gospels and is not backed up by any historical source.

Once again, why is the christian right and the jew, muslim, hindu, buddhist etc. wrong?

[LogosApologia]

@drab100 This doesn't match the 5 books by him I've read. What Strobel does very well in his books is to interview people who are authorities on various questions. He let's the experts make the claims, his role is that of an interviewer.

[justonefyx]

What if.... Someone on the other side of the world said what the Koran says is true. Muhammad is who he said he was. The true prophet of god. Oh wait, people on the other side of the world are saying the say thing, so why should I take what they say any less serious than you? They are just as convinced they are right as you are. I'd rather keep my head up in the real world instead of it bowed down with my eyes closed, praying.

[LogosApologia]

@justonefyx I really wonder if you are sincere. Because it's not an either/or type situation. Anyone who takes a look at the character and teachings of Muhammad vs. those of Jesus Christ can see a qualitative difference. The character and message of Christ is self authenticating, I suggest you actually read the gospel of John some time.

[justonefyx]

I never said it is either/or type situation, considering there are so many other religions claiming to be the one true way. And about comparing the character difference between Jesus and Mohammad, you seem to miss the point of my comment. Muslims will see Muhammad's teachings as self authenticating the same way you see Jesus. Who's to say they're wrong and you are right? BTW, I've read the new testament more times than I can count. I suggest you work on reading comprehension skills.

[justonefyx]

BTW, a friend of mine teaches at a Christian school. One of the students was sexually molested by her father who is also a pastor at the school. When she reported this to the police she got in big trouble by her boss for bringing bad attention to the church. She asked, being an atheist, what would I do in this situation. I said I don't need god to know this is wrong. Any atheist I know would call the police. Obviously the Christians are just making the problem worst. Good job Christians!

[LogosApologia]

@justonefyx what does that have to do with the fact that you are sinner who will be judged by God? Without Christ you will be as guilty as the molester.

[LogosApologia]

@justonefyx I don't think so. Muhammad was a murderous war lord and had many many wives and concubines - there is a radical character difference that is obvious to anyone who honestly compares.

[LogosApologia]

"Do you believe that people actually choose what they believe privately in their hearts?"

Yes.

"Would it be reasonable to worship or honestly think well of any god that would employ the petty, coercive practices"

No of course not. That's why I am Christian.

[LogosApologia]

You have a point! Pascal's wager assumes that you are rational enough to choose what is in you best interest. I realize that was probably a little too charitable for the 21st century mind.

[ronhudsonjr]

LOGOS! good job, keep making videos, even if the majority of comments are by people have no concept of what pascals wager is! i like this video and have always liked pascals wager. GOD BLESS you and keep plugging away. for every hater, there is 10 fans.

good job.

[backatchalol]

what is the world was going to end tomorrow... i have so many what ifs i can say jeez

[Corcodel3]

What if.... ? Good question. Lez sleep on it. Meanwhile "what if " surrounds as daily as our brain is looking for the right answers. Awesome clip. 5/5 Thanks :)

[7u94t0n]

Well...

then there is a god. Who cares?

[acedotcom]

what if...mormonism is the one true faith HAHAHAHA

[redangellion]

God will reward me for my healthy skepticism and for living a good life without the childish motivation of fear! Aaaaaaand /answer.

[CrOeDdE]

What if what the Qu'ran says is true?

[ronhudsonjr]

then god is a sexist, racist who hates women, and allowed his prophet muhammad to have sex with a 9 year old. Do you think that could be possible? i dont

[CrOeDdE]

Maybe you're a twit.

[ronhudsonjr]

wow, how did you ever come up with such a Mind blowingly brilliant comment such as that? you must be gifted or something!....douche

[ronhudsonjr]

so you dont actually join discussions, you just act as a peanut gallery and call people names? your comment is a waste of space on the internet

[CrOeDdE]

Okay, I normally don't break it out for theists, but here it is, ron. Your Christianity is just as valid as Islam and Judaism. The Christian world view along with most monotheists' are based on blind faith and contradicting values. (i.e. THOU SHALT NOT KILL and Kill every motherfucker in the 'promised land')

[leusch13]

exactly, christians think that their holy book is sacred and it proves god. then they turn around and think all other religions are wrong, even though they have just as much "proof".

[MichaelGabrielR]

@CrOeDdE

You shall not kill would be hypocritical of God, wouldn't it be? Read the original Hebrew to find out what the word used there really means. "You shall not murder". Otherwise capital punishment and all instances of war would be sinful and Paul would contradict himself.

One more thing - I see Atheists having a hard time discerning righteous killing vs immoral killing.

[CrOeDdE]

Personally, I don't believe in anything telling you what you should and should not do.Killing is killing, but the law makes one side justified(intruders,threats). This is logical. So if any man tries to act against my ability to grow, I'd beat the shit out of him. The case I'm making is that the difference between "righteous killing" and immoral killing is political support. A holy man says "It's okay to kill those in the valley" then it's just, but Hitler says wipe out the Jews, and it's crime.

[MichaelGabrielR]

@CrOeDdE

Self defense is especially vital to Christians because they (however this may sound to you) became biological temples of the Holy Spirit inhabiting their bodies since (true) conversion. What distinguishes murder from execution is the reason behind it. A murderer must be put to death because he had committed a crime. The higher the authority the higher the offence by the same crime. That's why people go to hell, unless bought from prison by something of infinite value (Christ's blood).

[CrOeDdE]

Okay, finally somebody who can carry a decent conversation.

[Tufty1989]

What if...Someone made a pretentious pseudo-arty film badly explaining Pascal's wager, when this particular line of argument has already been shown to be completely full of logical holes, and anyone who still thinks it is convincing is a fucking retard.

[ronhudsonjr]

ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CONVINCING. geez and you are calling him a retard? pascals wager was never SUPPOSED to be convincing. its a philosophical question, and its saying that "atleast if we are wrong, we all suffer the same fate. if you are wrong, we live eternally, you go to hell"

Unless of course you think islam is potentially true...hehe

[Tufty1989]

Being a philisophical quandary doesn't exempt it from logic, and it's original intended purpose doesn't change the way it is used today. It is being used as a literal argument to prove the existence of god, which is logically unsound.

And yes, I am calling him a retard, if he thinks it is convincing. In fact, I'm saying it's not convincing, you're saying it's not meant to be, so we should agree on the fact that anyone who does find it convincing is retarded.

[ronhudsonjr]

well ive talked to logosapologia before in a PM, and he is very intelligent, and logical, so im sure he does not use it as an argument to prove the existence of god

[poomanonfire]

What if everyone on the planet was weak minded enough to fall for this failed logic? What if those people wasted every sunday of their lives talking to an imaginary friend? What if people thought the bible was 100% true and the need for science was lost and we went back to the dark ages where we spent millions of years fighting over whos god has the biggest penis untill we where extinct. Would you bet your life against it?

[C05597641]

Suck my balls god. You wont smite me because you love sucking my balls.

[thezer0mancer]

It's like a dumber version of Pascal's Wager. Which is impressive in and of itself.

Oh come on.the religon ofme mora. I do believein god but the religon of thmora. I do believein god but the religon of the world are just pure bull shit.

Come on people!!! wake up of your dream of sins and fear!!! the religions are wrong because they're not god, THEY ARE HUMANS!!!!

[ninjaxxbobxx]

Because Christianity is right.

And all the hundreds of the religions made before it are wrong. >_>

What a bullshit argument.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

As if Christianity is ANY more likely than the religions that came before or after.

WHAT A JOKE!

[JWP321]

Pascal's Wager? Seriously?

Anyone with even the slightest bit of intelligence can see through the shallow argument presented in this video...

[glynnbeard]

I'm an atheist and i go about my life in a pretty friendly and decent way without having to be afraid of gods wrath, If there is a god and i am accountable for my "sins" i'm not worried. Seriously, most christians sin just as often as atheists, catholics especially because of their belief in absolution. I don't need to be scared into being a good person. Morals don't come from god. Also, like musichypno says below, what if you're accountable to allah when you die?

[Rookz]

Please, kindly GTFO with this Pascal's Wager bullshit.

[MusicHypno]

What if Allah is the real God?

What if Thor is the real God?

What if Vishnu is the real God?

What if Xenu is the real God?

What is Cernunnos is the real God?

What if Damona is the real God?

What is Rhiannon is the real God?

[DamienZshadow]

Exactly! Honestly, the flying spaghetti monster has just as much right to be considered in this "What if" as God does. What makes one person's leap of faith any more reasonable than someone else's?

[BohemianBlasphemy]

What if the old Egyptian gods are the real ones and after you die, you are judged by them?

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Pascal wager?

Really?

Weak argument.

[LogosApologia]

It's not really an argument its a question, one you should seriously consider. You guys can keep throwing out absurd religions that no one takes seriously, but you ask yourself - if Christianity is just one of many religions how come so much time is spent opposing it? Christianity is different and it gets target more, because it is true.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Christianity IS just like any other religion: Unproven, believed and defended in faith, personal revelation, personal preference, emotional arguments, miraculous claims, claims of fulfilled prophecy, dogmatic, upbringing, etc.

The nature of the Christian claims is the SAME as the claims made by most other religions. Yet you think you're special.

The kind of evidence (and roughly, the amount of it) offered by Christianity is also the same. You are just one more religion.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

"It's not really an argument its a question"

Well, to answer your question, if I am wrong and you are right, Hell for me.

Then, if you and I are BOTH wrong and Islam is right, Hell for me and see you there! Have you considered the posibility?

And Christianity is not more critizised that the rest of the faiths. You jut happen to notice the criticism immediately and experiment it personally. I bet some Muslisms think we atheist are targeting THEM.

[LogosApologia]

Christianity is not a religion. n When I was referring to the targeting I meant by Islam and the spiritual forces. Not really concerned by atheism that's just a fringe group.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Christianity is not a religion?

What exactly makes Christianity NOT a religion'

[LogosApologia]

I'm glad you asked. I will be releasing a video on that very subject later this week, but basically religion is man seeking God through rites and rituals - in Christianity God finds man. There are 6 degrees of separation between world religions and Biblical Christianity - stay tuned I hope to have it posted by the end of the week.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

looking forward to it

[DamienZshadow]

You have no idea the paranoia that surrounds organized religion if you haven't been involved in it. Many members of my family (who are Muslim) will swear to you that Jews are taking over the world to exterminate Islam. I kid you not.

[dankoz828]

hahaha no it get's targeted the most because christians are so damn anoying.

[red2seata]

actually i think its targeted because it annoys people the most

[bloopity]

Maybe it's because it's the one getting shoved down everyone's throat?

[DamienZshadow]

Lol you don't think some people take those religions seriously? Should I ask the families of people who have thrown their lives away in the sake of protecting their Buddhist temples? What of the other two faiths that continuously die to protect what they consider their holy land? You have no right to say any religion is not taken as seriously as yours.

Honestly that's just self centered and completely ignorant of the fact that you're no different than they are.

[aProdigalChild]

Bless you for this !

[HimalayanGummiworm]

Ooh, the Pascal wager. Too bad it works just as well on every arbitrarily popular belief system.

Yeah, what if we won't see paradise unless we submit to God through Islam?

What if we won't go to Valhalla unless we die in battle as per Nordic beliefs?

What if we don't see the afterlife unless we're mummified?

Looked at objectively, Christianity is just as unverifiable in veracity as any other belief. It only came to popularity because of political powers in western history.

[jojoinhere]

what if the viking is true?you ain't going to heaven if you don't die in battle.What If?

[rozworld]

Gives us free will but sends us to eternal damnation if we don't believe. Great logic Christians!

[AnubisH646]

jesus came to save everybody. but everybody by their nature refuses this gift. god has to intervene and change our hearts for us to accept jesus' gift. so even tho jesus died for me i cant accept him (altho in the past i did im an exchristian), unless god choses to change my heart.

[AnubisH646]

jeff i was saying God never chose to save us who arent saved. if he chose to save us we'd be saved. i believe paul said something like what if the unbelievers are not saved in order to make gods glory better known to the saved. before you were saved, biblically, u were a god hater just like me. altho i dont consider myself a godhater biblically thats what i am. biblically speaking, christians are the luckiest most blessed poeple ever, and unbelievers are the sadest creations ever known.

[jeffwitkowski555]

didnt sound like it to me. till someone stood you up on what you said. not to brag but i am that one person in a dozen that reads what is written. its all good but like i said there is no need to go to other sources to look for what is really going on. taking this all in. i almost have a problem with Paul .if you read carefully you will find him using that word "GOOD" in talking about people a few times. one to point out is in the book of titus. the book that tells priests how to live and so on.

[SpokenVerse]

"What if what the Bible says is true..." is how the video starts but what it really means is "What if those parts of the Bible I like are true - and the truth is exactly what I want it to be."

St. Augustine's problem was the opposite: he wanted to find a way out. He didn't want to believe the Bible. He said, "I believe this reluctantly because I have tried very hard and I can't find a way out."

His most famous prayer was, "Lord give me continence and chastity, but not yet."

[jeffwitkowski555]

in the belief of Jesus you are not saved on this world. if we do wrong "sin" we are still subject to GODs wrath. Saved being we are free from distruction by GOD in the end days. read some of the OLD testament GOD helped out people but if they acted out of line he punished them. a couple are: Moses when he disobeyed by striking the rock 3 times. or even better when he turned Lots wife into a pillar of salt for looking at the distuction of S and G. we can still be punished by GOD for sin ppl

[SpokenVerse]

St Augustine said that God chooses to save some people, called the elect, for reasons which cannot be known. All of the elect have already been chosen by God. The elect do not go to heaven because they are good or for anything they do in life, but by God's grace.

St Augustine was reading the same Bible - why were his beliefs different from yours?

[jeffwitkowski555]

who cares what augustine said. read LUKE 18;18-19 18.Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question. "Good teacher, what should i do get eternal life? 19 "why do you call me good?"Only God is truely good.

so that is the wisdom Jesus gave me you shouldnt point out religious facts from anywhere else but the Holy Bible sir. im not downing you but the good book has all you need to know. dont go looking at out side information to prove anything. so augustine has no idea what hes talking about

[SpokenVerse]

I didn't see your reply. So you say that your interpretation of the Bible is right and St. Augustine's is wrong.

That's what I expected you to say.

[jeffwitkowski555]

can you your self quote that from the bible sir? i bet not

[SpokenVerse]

I was loosely quoting St Augustine, wasn't I?

[Mystwicca]

wee..........well then youve made your choice havent you. Sometimes no matter what you tell anyone or what youve seen to be true, they make thier choice to disrespect or not acknowlegde GOD at all.....in which case, youve done what you could, either they are NOT called By GOD, or, theyve made thier choice to Ignore that call. Dont feel bad about that in either case, Logos :) You didnt make thier choice, they do :) It doesnt affect you :)

Bless You for what you do

[AnubisH646]

lol. yea god saved us altho we didnt deserve to be saved and god isnt going to save all these other people but dont worry about it. who cares, they are foolish sinners. you do realize if the bible is true you are no better than me or anybody else, and you are saved for gods pleasure not because you are deserving. i wish more christians could understand that. we are sinners because thats the way we were born and god never chose to save us.

[AnubisH646]

my comment was a reply to mystwicca. to not feel bad for nonbelievers seems pretty bad to me. we are going to hell and you are going to heaven even tho we all equally deserve hell. according to the bible.

[jeffwitkowski555]

if you say GOD never chose to save us then you denie what Jesus says about himself. for he is from GOD

[weefraze06]

If it is true then i go to hell and i will happily go there rather then heaven with a dictator pig who has literally made it impossible to tell if he is real. "Im a big fan of sin anyway"

Ofc..this is assuming it is even true.

[SpokenVerse]

Jesus didn't say he was the promised Messiah nor did he say he was the Son of God. Where did you get these mistaken ideas?

[peacechild61]

spokenverse . you don't know the Bible obviously

[SpokenVerse]

Quote chapter and verse.

[daranac2]

SpokenVerse, in the Bible. He says it Himself and His desiples said it about Him hundreds of times.

God bless you

[jeffwitkowski555]

it is true jesus never said himself he was the son of god. he said he was the son of man several times. Paul is the one that first called Jesus the son of GOD. but if you read the beginning of LUKE. he made it clear that he is the son of the one true GOD. see the bible takes some thinking that alot of people are not willing to do.. they much rather look at the sky and interpet the weather but cant tell what times we are in. so Jesus tells us

[SpokenVerse]

"...and Jesus is who he said he was....the promised messiah..."

So you admit you got that wrong in your video. You also agree that he didn't say the he was the Son of God.

So we are in agreement, right? You were mistaken.

[jeffwitkowski555]

this is not my video. and im not mistaken at all

Jesus is the lord; if God couldn't protect his book then why is he a God? a God who did not take care of his book and did not know who to protect it; it is not worthy of worship IN JESUS I TRUST; his mircles are filling my life; the truth is so clear many muslims do not understand their koran they only read and believe what their parents shiekhs tell them, few of them do their own research; MAY GOD HELP ALL PEOPLE and guide them to the only truth JESUS

I agree, definitely something everyone needs to think about, but this video might be a little intimidating; the ominous music in the background and such. Nevertheless, God bless you,

[droptozro]

interesting video that goes along with Pascal's wager... as someone said tho, it is a bit intimidating, and may/may not actually cause someone to think "what if?" because of it's nature. It's hard to reach the non-believers, but it's a valiant effort nevertheless.

where did you get my name from to add me and send the video tho? I'm just curious.

[elyurita]

thanks, what if Mohammed was the last prophet and the last revelation of God? thumbs up

[LogosApologia]

I do not consider that really possible because his(?) teaching is not consistent with that of the God of the Bible.

[droptozro]

Yes, many Muslims do not even follow their own faith or read the Bible, even tho the Koran tells them to read the Bible... because its the original word of God... Islam is also rooted in lust, and why/what would you do with 70+ wives in heaven? that is only a man made fantasy here on earth...or devil made possibly.

[2364063]

Only in the reports in the compose book called the Quran, not within the Bible.

[superc]

wow if this is the marketing product you came up with to attract more patrons from other religions and non-believers then wow, sorry. fire the advertisemen / marketing guy!

[LogosApologia]

Its not marketing - its a sobering reality. People wonder what they need to be saved from. They need to understand that they need salvation from the wrath of a Holy God. Either you lead a perfect life or you know the One who did.

[8Anya8]

Yes,there is a God to fear and a hell to shun.

The fear of YHWH is to depart from evil.
