You object to the wisdom & judgments of God & ask if His actions are fair, right or good ? Have you asked yourself what is good ? What human or even yourself has the ability to make determinations about the nature of the universe, human nature or the value of people's lives. You inveigh against God with me,but I am not a moral authority- only God is the Creator &source of values. So if U dislike the fullness of what Creator has made what on earth do U mean by good?
@shieldsff we may not always have a clear cut idea of what is good or not good -- that's up to us as a society. but one thing we can easily agree upon -- morality does NOT come from the bible. none of the other "holy books" that purport to be authored by a god are good sources of morality either.
For "God", substitute "people who claim to speak in the name of God", because that's what it really means. Christians might also try substituting "God's messenger, Mohammed", and non-Catholics might try "God's representative on earth, the Pope". Shieldsff seems to regard him/herself as divinely ordained to know "the wisdom & judgments of God" - he/she/it is either one of the most arrogant people on the planet, or just plumb crazy.
@palerider1775 holy shit! thats why they always say "God bless America!" he couldn't lie about that cherry tree either,maybe thats what they mean by "without sin" man,this is so fucking heavy...
I have started a new website for religious people to discuss there religious beliefs. I just thought I would send you a message to invite you to come have a look and see if you would like to join in some of the conversations.
perhaps it would help to comfort these same hypothetical "children" you invoke, if pple like yourself would desist going about and spreading distortions, confusion and lies about the teachings of Jesus-perhaps you should try reading them in context and entirety sometimes. I can't recall a single incident where Jesus warned or cautioned CHILDREN about "aionion kolasis" (eternal punishment). However, he did give numerous strong warnings to hypocrites,sinners & haters of CREATOR God
@shieldsff What context? The one that you prefer? The number of contexts someone can read the Bible in is infinite, and you're asking that atheists give your cause special attention. Face it.
@shieldsff Then I am sorry your imagination is poor? I can think of an innumerable amount of situations where the Bible can be read to mean just about anything.
@saddybedangdang How do you prove that a inaudible, intangible, and invisible, unicorn in my house doesn't exist?. You cant!. Now replace "Unicorn" For "God" and it suddenly makes sense? hahahahaha.
I am unaware that I was addressing children here (is that U) & much less certain that there is anything "sick or evil" about addressing consequential facts& realities. The failure to point out that someone suffering from say,cancer, can enjoy a full recovery w/the treatment of radiation would be 'evil'. The failure to WARN a person regarding the realities of separation from God IS evil. Jesus said when he sits on His glorious thrown He will cast all lawbreakers into outer darkness
If you don't believe in God, why do you spend so much time discussing him. I protest and ask you to spend equal time disproving the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause. If God is really fantasy, then why do you even bother??? I think you simply like to hear yourself talk and lead others from Christ.
But I say to you this. God will have the last word, not you or Richard Dawkins. Remember this.
@wa4aos It bothers him because people like you like to say that he is going to be tortured for eternity when you have no evidence to back up your claim. He is likely offended that you would think and wish upon him such a horrendous thing. I'm sure he doesn't believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa because of the same reason he doesn't believe in God. No evidence. So why don't you take your hate elsewhere?
@KaHabbful I did not express hate but you did. I can argue that you don't exist just as easily as someone can argue that God does not exist. Can you explain how any of your bodily functions became to exist? Of course no one can make a simple cell from Carbon, hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen but our bodies have billions of cells.and hundreds of macro and micro process all running in spite of us. If you study physiology, anatomy or biology in depth, you will have with more questions than answers
@KaHabbful I am simply offering my opinion as did the promoter of this video. Why do you need to express your disdain to my comments?
I find it interesting that those who hate God spend time trying to discredit him. The reason is obvious to me. It's lack of in depth thought and understanding of science.
There are many books that talk about the Easter Bunny but no one is out spewing hate and pseudo intellectual diatribe in an effort to discount the same.
I suspect UR problem is because our Creator God must be revealed & cannot be "proven" to someone who seeks a narrow, modernist, skeptical, materialist proof (because this Creator is, by definition, Transcendent to His creation(not a finite entity in His own creation). According to what we believe about the LORD, He will NEVER make Himself known to anyone who is arrogant, proud & full of their own self-centered conceit. Have you read "Mere Christianity" ? God respects the free will
@harvestsoulfly - So in your book that is there to promote your religion it says that if we don't believe in your religion we don't get to go into your magical kingdom. Fancy that.
ALL religions promise these things to their followers. How is it any different than the Solar Temple offering their followers a trip on the flying saucer? And just like your religion how do I know it is not true. Maybe after they took the poison they really when to another planet. sounds as convincing as heaven.
@WillShakespeare2007 There is no scientific explanation to penetrate the truth behind faith. Like many great mystery's of the Universe, faith is just another one. So without having faith... it will always be a fairy tale, a magic book or a flying saucer in the sky.
But God has made Himself known to those who ask and seek. To those, faith becomes the foundation in which we percieve and live life.
And if God didn't exist... the mere question of His existence wouldn't exist.
@harvestsoulfly - "There's no scientific explanation to penetrate the truth behind faith. Like many great mystery's of the Universe,faith is just another one. So without having faith it will always be a fairy tale, a magic book or a flying saucer in the sky. But "Loch Ness Monster" has made himself known to those who ask and seek. To those, faith becomes the foundation in which we perceive & live life.
And if Loch Ness Monster" didn't exist... the mere question of His existence wouldn't exist.
@harvestsoulfly "Like many great mystery's" well first it's mysteries. Second, this is an argument from ignorance. I have no idea how your reasoning allows a situation without faith to produce fairy tales, but to say that there will always be mysteries without attempting to discern the illusion, you are accepting ignorance as the status quo. Also, I've spent a good portion of my life going to church with my family, looking AND seeking for this God of yours, and he has never made himself known.
@Dillrod90 Yes,having faith is a mystery to those who don't understand it. That's why people reject it, ridicule and mock it. Or they will seek it.
Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." So unless one softens their heart (like a child) and seeks God, one will never understand it.
@harvestsoulfly There is no mystery in faith, a belief without reasonable evidence. If Jesus praised the Lord (himself) for keeping the truth from the wise and revealed it only for the children, then I suppose I have to have the mentality of a child to accept something so irrational. But God didn't reveal himself to the wise or learned. Why? Could he not convince him? And why is his choice to hide himself from one group of people worth praise? Where is the good in that?
@Dillrod90 You have to decide for yourself, to let faith or death dictate your life. Because either Jesus was the son of God who gives life as he claimed, or He was a madman - a raging lunatic who lied and deceived billions of people. But one thing Christ most certainly cannot be... is just a good moral teacher! He has not left that option open to us, He did not intend to.
@Jesses001 exactly. even if you people found God you would still refuse to embrace him. why dont you atheists mind your own business? i dont see why you have to worry about what others believe in when you could be getting on with your own life but no Satan's work is devious and that is what this is. you may deny that but his greatest tool is making people belive he and the Almighty dont exist. if not then tel me why al these videos and arguements are being made if you dont believe why do u care?
@paraich1 Many Atheists care about what others believe because beliefs dictate actions. Many fundumentalists of many religions are very dangerous. If an Atheist does not think a god exists, why would they believe a satan exists? Finally, if you have some evidence to support the claims that such beings exist, feel free to present it. I would love to see the evidence.
@paraich1 Right? They are so content on putting down the Christian belief. For what reason? They obviously think its silly and ridiculous, so why bother even talking about it? For someone who doesnt believe in God, they are really devoting a lot of their time to talking about Him. What is so bad about being a Christian? My belief in God helps me be understanding, loving, accepting to others, and just happy with life. Doesnt sound silly to me, whether you yourself believe in Him or not.
For those that make the claim "what harm is there believing in things with no concrete evidence" I can point to many simple examples: a trillion dollar war to hunt down imaginary WMDs, 1000s of women killed in the middle ages because a hunt for imaginary witches.
Black: Fine. Present the evidence. WMDs and deists - keep making the same lame claims over and over. IF you think WMDs are real, present the evidence. Not the other way around.
There is 1 thing Matt Missed here. There are actually Historical documents outside the bible Regarding Jesus which do I guess Confirm that he lived, confirm his acts, confirm he was indeed killed then resurrected etc. It even has various points of view which include opposing 1's. It also has records of how the ancient writings were found and compiled into a collection. The book is called the Archko Volume. I don't consider myself religious, but I DO find this very interesting.
Millions of christian from 20 centuries have gladly died professing changed lives. Enriched lives
In the first century BC. Thousands were sent to martyrdom by Rome's account. They died singing, blessing God and his Son. They did not committed crimes, they were everyday people from all walks of life. The Word of God permeated their lives, The Holly Spirit of God acted as per promised and the known world was changed so much that we live in the christian era
@SuperBspb No, but the premise of this thesis marks the existence of live changing miracles performed by God through the apostles. Acts of faith accompanied by facts. Miracles that you too can experience, should you only allow a tiny little bit of faith in something bigger than yourself. Don't ask Why?, Rather ask Why not? If your foundation of no faith in God rests solely on today's standards, shouldn’t you ask yourself, why is it then that there is so many accounts of the afterlife?
@IntegrityContracting Lol what a laughable argument, believe everything, cause why not? What stupidity. Also the majority of people have no account of an afterlife. Not only that, anecdotal is not evidence. You speak utter trash.
@IntegrityContracting Saying you apparently witnessed life after death is 100% anecdotal. No matter how hard you try and Trojan horse it.
Of course they are, just like all the ones supporting other religions are true huh? It is all absolute rubbish. Just think about it, what is different between you saying this, and a man in a padded cell saying this?
@itchygonads So there is no difference between me and a psychiatric patient according to you? That is your proposition even so you have not met with me and don't know me at all, your assertion is based on some kind of twisted blind faith, and you won't allow any kind of testimony to bear witness of something you have already decided to be untrue.
@IntegrityContracting You are not in the position to pity anyone, when you believe something an average ten year old should be able to class as fiction. I never said that, i said what is the difference in your claims? So yes, not an assertion...It is a question...Try reading. anecdotes will NOT suffice as evidence to any reasonable being. How come the majority of people do NOT have these experiences? And what about rival god experiences? Or are you just going to avoid these questions?
science has proven that the universe bends and thus has a starting point. therefore is created, so therefore has an creator, and another name for creater is GOD. and niggas who the fuck would just make up a 66 book bible just for kicks that shit is retarded as fuck there has to be a form of God bitch as nigga im Christian and i stick by my beliefs. i have many atheist friends and there my freinds cuz there not douchebags trying to prove my religion wrong. this dude can eat dick and kill himself
@raisinbrand32 ok, first try a library,.. Second, you might want to look up Horus or Mithra, or the many versions of Jesus created by other religions, many of which were more than 2000 years ago. Also, you might want to look for the origins of Yahweh-El (your god). It might make for some interesting reading.
I think the problem is a lot of creationist make assertions that there is a God. But I think its within the realms of reason to make the "assumption" that there is a possibility that life could have been made by some form of intellegence. Because absolutely nobody knows 100% percent how life was created.
History can never be proven by science. The pen drops at anytime. Historical events happen once at the only truth to be know is find a witness. The history shows that the events that are written about Christ are good history. Cities, time frames, location exist in time and space. The events have good history. Decent evidence. Jesus make the claim to me GOD. So it does matter. Jesus did live, and if so the events might have happened, and therefore, you have to grapple with Jesus as God.
@MRGV7373 Evidence that a city existed is... evidence that a city existed. There are many historical facts in many other holy books, much of which is backed up by evidence. Does this mean that the Buddha or Krishna existed? Loch Ness DOES exist, you can go there right now and see it for yourself. Does this mean there is a giant monster living in it? It has had eye witnesses, and some have even gotten photos.
@skywize The cities just lend facts to the case. It does not make it false or true. But if the cities did not exist, than you would know the writings to be false and untrue. All History is based on the faith that the writers wrote down what they saw and what they saw was real and happened. History can not be repeated so History can never be proven by scientific method. History has a faith component in that you trust the writers to been factual and witnesses or talk to witnesses
@MRGV7373 Ok, I will agree with most of that. However, not all history is by witness alone. Archeologists and palientologists dig up new things every day. Each artifact on it's own says very little, but analyzed among others can give you a timeline, and even a story. The written word can be used to support evidence, but can't be used as proof. King Arthur for instance was written of many times in many different tales, yet his existence is doubtable at best.
@skywize Each person get to think and make a decision, can we trust history. After all my review of the writings of the bible, archeology, human history. I choose to trust the writers. Are they biased writers.Yes, they believed what they saw and it was just flat unbelievable. No one tell people that they are going to die and rise again. That person would be deemed insane. If they did rise, who would really believe it? .I have decide to trust the writers and hope that I am correct.
@skywize Is there a risk in believing, yes, I could be wrong but how can a message of Love they Neighbor and love myself be something I fear. I can be deluded into thinking that "God" really loves me and therefor love others. Again, an idea that makes me happy to live in Love and help others because I am loved. If I am wrong, I thing that my neighbors will be fine since I am happy and a good loving neighbor. My wife loves a loving man, and my children are loved. So nothing ventured..
The historian do agree that John's Gospel is good history and was an eye witness. John did see Jesus and wrote 60 years later. But John was an eye witness. 30 years in 2,000 time frame is quite valid. No Roman writing are with 30 years and no one question those writings.
Where do people get that there is NO evidence for Jesus outside the Bible? Lol this is ridiculous! I hope Matt actually and honestly does research because there is plenty just youtube it lol Non Biblical Evidence for Jesus Christ
Matt Dillahunty is a bald Retard, who I hope everyone else who sees him get real sick of his nonsense, and doesn't listen to a single small-brained lie out of his mouth!
@Likes2LearnGuy I think you should listen with an open mind, whether you're an atheist Christian, agnostic, etc. We should all listen to everyone with an open mind, and think logically and with reason, and not what "feels right", but what is evidence and logical. And I as a skeptic have found that Matt makes a lot of sense, there are Christians who are well educated and have answered my questions logically very well, but Atheists such as Matt have answered my questions more logically.
@egosumdidact oh death, where is your victory, where is your sting? Havent u heard of Jesus, the son of God, the Risen King? Saints r in heaven. They r way more alive than u and me combined
The heaven declares that there is a God. Human is limited, the hardest part of being an atheist is when you're at your death bed thinking what if there's a God and I didn't believed? I'm fucked @(>.<)@
@m1gx Ya but hoping there is a God and knowing there probably isn't are different. It's always better to go with reality then waste a second on magical hoowie. Like why would I think earth is no the back of a turtle?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The problem with atheists are that they're demanding evidence which was 2000 years ago come on do we have flash drives memories back then to record all these accounts. Human is limited and accept it, the fact that universe exist and human can't explain it means there's an intelligent being a creator.
@Samael994 Honestly dude, what's wrong with people believing? We don't know for sure if God is or isn't real. But, people find pleasure, happiness, and confidence believing in God. What's wrong with that? Even if they live in a lie, it makes them happy. And this is from an Athiest standpoint.
I'm more concerned with what theists will do because of their beliefs, whether it be religious persecution, sexism, homophobia, scientific retardation, suppression of freedom of speech, suppression of freedom of thought, or knocking on my door interrupting my QI marathon to talk to me about Jesus!
I'd have no problem with the religious, if only they kept their absurd beliefs to themselves. Its the fact that they feel the need to force them on everybody else that's the issue.
@m1gx the fact that universe exists is the proof of universe. Nothing else. Also you're just as fucked if you believe in God - imagine - you die and it's the wrong god! but that's something we can only imagine, because there's no evidence, so there's no god for what I care.
Also death gives me a feeling of piece. You shut down. And then there's nothingness. Having in mind that the brain tends to give you pictures to calm you down when you're dying it's not scary and then there's nothing :)
@WillBrendon I watch it to listen to their arguments too, but why put old hags on that promote the typical atheist feminist stereotypes. Put on a hot Alpha Female. Fuck old hags.
Well normally you're supposed to listen to what a person says, not watch it. Think of it as a TV radio show. I personally do not care male or a female talks, how old they are as long as they give a valid argument.
This is bullshit. No amount of evidence is going to convince these guys they're being narrowminded. They keep pulling dick moves by using loaded phrases and words like "zombies" like "oh guys don't think for yourself, let me tell you what to believe, they're zombies, ho ho lets laugh them off now." Then surround it in pseudo-philosophy. "Let me drop some names of philosophers so i look smart. Now believe what i say."
@UtubeXucks Requiring evidence and thinking critically before accepting beliefs as true is not narrowmindedness; it is quite the opposite of narrowmindedness.
Yes, Sediment of rocks comments below.... "All sediment was laid down by Noah's flood" OK, how many floods lay down thousands of layers of sediment. Noah's flood SHOULD have laid down one big layer of sediment. Sediment can be 12 miles deep. Some sediment layers are slanted upward at steep angles dut to plate driftings. How did N American snails get to Noah's ark? Howabout polar bears, penguins, Koala Bears, etc? How did they get back home? Why didn't God save the Dinosaurs, etc?
@baldone46 Just thought I'd let you know that koalas are not actually bears. But I agree with the gist of what you are saying, amazing that there are people in developed countries in the 21st century who literally believe bronze-age, Middle Eastern mythology to be true.
Religious differences are never end. Just like smart people and stupid people have to co-exist. I mean...is this fair? God is not fair, cuz if he's fair he'd kill all stupid ppl (Christian) because how can God's creation be stupid?
@hempartist420 You said, "You are the one that needs to provide evidence for that, not sandals, not sulfur balls, ACTUAL evidence"
-You asked me to give you archeological evidence, you did not ask me for other kinds of evidence, & so based on what you asked for I gave you archeological evidence just like you asked for. I can show you other forms of evidence if you'd like, evidence in cosmology, history, DNA, the news (refurring to prophecy) & miracles (you didn't ask for that kind of evidence).
@hempartist420 I explained to you earlier that I have much more archeological evidence to show, but the way we all view archeology is based on the witness accounts that go with the relics, you couldn't have known that the native americans existed if the archeological relics for them were not applied to witness accounts, all archeologists/ historians study evidence that way, even the skeptics of the bible, even evolutionists work that way when looking at sediments that can only be moved by water.
@hempartist420 You asked, "but you're telling me if I don't believe in your magical stories, that I'm going to burn in hell forever"
-No, I'm saying that if you reject Jesus's gospels on purpose when a lot of evidence for his gospels have been shown to you & you reject it on a nihilist level then God can't save you from the darkness; according to Jesus's gospels there will be many who don't know that God exists who will be taken into heaven because they didn't on purposely reject his gospels.
@hempartist420 You said, "You said, "I don't have to believe da Vinci (not Divinchy) exists, or that the spanished killed the Mayans (but how do you explain the fact that they speak spanish south of the border?)"
-The fact that they speak spanish was not the question, the question was about evidence for the spanish killing Mayans at all (the spanish could've been peaceful for all you know). If you choose not to believe that da Vinci exists then you choose not to look smart in front of atheists.
@hempartist420 I'm waiting for you to answer all my simple questions & to observe the evidence you use for your beliefs. You believe that fossils are old to begin with because someone told you that layers mean millions of years old, based on your logic I might as well believe in God because someone said so LOL.
Why do you believe that Divinchy existed anyway? What evidence do you use to prove huis existance? What evidence do you use to prove that the Spanish killed the Mayans? Etc? Etc? Etc?
@hempartist420 I'm not saying that a single tooth is evidence for evolution, I'm saying "they" are. But even the fossil record is the same as looking at something in the ground and making up a story about it, the "record" itself was based on the location of France & England, the "record" is a story that is being used as evidence that DNA can mutate beneficial features instead of disease, it is no different than saying a mere rumor proves that Shakespear wrote nothing.
@hempartist420 Firstly, stop cussing at me with intense IMATURE insults, are you not an adult? Secondly, you should take a look at the evidence that you use for your beliefs, they happen to be observed in the same way- a TOOTH to defend evolution itself, a PEICE of pottery to say that a civilization is 10,000 years old, & a RUMOR to say that Shakespear didn't write anything. I'm waiting for you to answer my very simple easy questions, if you can't you will look like an ape. I'm going to wait....
Looking at all the witness accounts of EVERY anchient culture & knowing how they lived, I see no psychological reason why such witness accounts could come from lies because people back then didn't have good reasons to document lies, their witness accounst could very well be their best way of describing what they ACTUALLY saw. & here you are accusing ALL historical people of lying; Just because people in your life lied to you does not prove that every account is a lie
@hempartist420 You said, "You need to look up ACTUAL archeological evidence... so dumb"
-& what exactly DO YOU classify as archeological evidence?
-I thought you were smart but you seem to cherry pick witness accounts to fit a presupposition that God can't exist, yet you have nothing to show me why God "can't" exist, & this is because you are erogent & full of yourself due to having trust issues with people, & it's probably because you had people in your life that decieved you
@hempartist420 You said, "& these sulfur balls are on the same site that claims to show evidence of giant human skeletons"
-If they found giant human skeletons then what evidence are you missing from their existance (they actuaklly have the skeletons)? They even have photos of them yet you erogantly ASSUME that giant humans could not exist because you chose to not believe in the accounts of God a long time ago before you studied any feild (because you never really wanted God to exist ever)
@hempartist420 You said, "& OMG, they found sandals, that's what people wore, I don't even know why you would bring that up"
-Well why would someone bring up a wooden wheel to add to the validaty that Divinchy even existed, or why would people bring up a tooth to add to the validaty of humans being descendant of "ape like creatures"?
-The anchient sandels adds validaty to the accounts of Moses & his people escaping Egypt & building the golden calf
@hempartist420 You asked, "First of all, there are hieroglyphs of Ra & Isis hanging out with Pharoahs, so does that mean Egyptian gods exist?"
-I believe they might either be the Nephilim (mentioned in Genesis) also known as E.T.'s, OR they could even be fallen angels out to decieve people (also described in Genesis), just about every anchient culture (including native americans & Mayans) has had anchient written accounts of spirits/ "gods" marrying human women to give birth to "strange humans"
@hempartist420 With the few archeological evidence (OUT OF MANY) that I showed you to add validaty to the Hebrew accounts in the bible, why scoff at the accounts of the Hebrews if you use just as much archeological evidence (OR LESS) to believe in the Italian accounts of Julius Caesar even existing, or the accounts of ufo's? Hmm? Is it because the accounts in the bible were made by Hebrews & not by white English people? Is that it?
... And there aren't just "some" sulfur balls as you put it, there are thousands apon thousands of sulfer balls covering the remains of an anchient city in the exact location of Sodom & Gommora, this is proof that fire & brimstone literally fell on the anchient city without any geological signs of a volcanoe anywhere near the location of this city (how did the sulfer get there); this gives more validaty to the stories of the old testimate. You got a problem with that?
@hempartist420 You asked, "lmao, some hieroglyphs, sandals, & some sulfur balls?"
-Yep, just a few examples of archeological evidence out of MANY for the stories of the old testiment. What's your problem with it? The hieroglyphs of the golden calf show archeological evidence that the Hebrews did leave Egypt & Moses destroyed the calf which adds validaty to Moses's accounts, the sandels show that the alter is anchient, plus you have witness accounts...
@hempartist420 Sorry for forgetting to respond to you (I had a lot on my "to-do list"
-A few examples of archeological evidence (out of many) is 1) there is an alter with a hirogliphs of a cow being worshipped by people with three wells near it with remains of very anchient sandels near it in the same location as the alter of the golden calf & 3 wells near it (in the old testimate). 2) there are the remains of an anchient city peppered with sulfer balls in the same location of Sodom/ Gommora.
@hempartist420 You asked, "So Harry Potter exists? Oddyseus exisrts (Homer's "The Oddessy)?
-Is there a historcal account for Harry Potter? No. Is there archeology to prove Harry Potter's existence? No. Yet there are both historcal witness accounts AND archeology to support the existence & stories in the old testiment times (exactly as much evidence as other historical figures & stories, the bible just holds supernatural stories but the there is scientific theoretical evidence for supernature).
@hempartist420 You asked, "So anything that happens to be written in a book is proof that a character in that book exists (such as moses)
-No, it is not proof but rather evidence only because it is a witness account (there is also archeology too); there is just as much or more evidence for Moses existing as there is evidence for Julius Caesar existing, everyone believes that Julius Caesar existed because of witness accounts & acheology why do you believe that Julius Caesar existed & not Moses?
well we certainly cannot deny that Jesus existed, the accounts from Josephus, plinny the younger etc tell us that he did, I don't know where Matt is coming from, does he believe Jesus existed well no! we can't make him believe what the record(history says)did Jesus do what the NT said he did? well there are accounts outside of the NT that said he did supernatural things, by credible witnesses(historians)so the question is not whether Matt believes them to be pssible, but are they really possible
Lee (Josh) do not pretend, they are clear on this, but ask questions that sceptics might ask. You seem to cast apologetics under their bus. They make clear that they are not trained scholars but there are many who are who affirm Christianity. It's easy to pick on entry level people and then brush the whole field. Anyways, the Bible is the definition of God. Read Gordon H Clark "Christian Philosophy" and "A Christian View of Men and Things" He would agree with you about Evidential Apologetics.
...contined. And really I'd call the inquisition, crusades, and demonizing of everything else more persecution than has even been done in the name of ANY... no wait ALL other religions COMBINED!
if i rube my hand on Matt's bladed head i will gain his ultement free thinking power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......or i could go read and question things that are claimed and think for my self.
We are due for moving to a higher consciousness plane. The same way the suffering of gazelles killed by lions make the species stronger, the suffering of mankind will help us move to the next consciousness level. A greater good comes for the species. The next level is the rejection of greed, materialism and selfishness. Our current capitalist system need to collapse in order to achieve this. If you are not ready spiritually, you'll suffer. This is happening now, be ready. God Bless.
you guys are great. one day humankind might actually be free of the willful ignorance of religion

For "God", substitute "people who claim to speak in the name of God", because that's what it really means. Christians might also try substituting "God's messenger, Mohammed", and non-Catholics might try "God's representative on earth, the Pope".

I made a one-minute video highlighting a very small sample of race-mixing advertisements.
I love white people, and I am opposed to race-mixing. But I do not hate non-whites.

perhaps it would help to comfort these same hypothetical "children" you invoke, if pple like yourself would desist going about and spreading distortions, confusion and lies about the teachings of Jesus-perhaps you should try reading them in context and entirety sometimes.

However, he did give numerous strong warnings to hypocrites,sinners & haters of CREATOR God

@WillShakespeare2007 There is no scientific explanation to penetrate the truth behind faith. Like many great mystery's of the Universe, faith is just another one. So without having faith... it will always be a fairy tale, a magic book or a flying saucer in the sky.
But God has made Himself known to those who ask and seek. To those, faith becomes the foundation in which we percieve and live life.
And if God didn't exist... the mere question of His existence wouldn't exist.

Also, I've spent a good portion of my life going to church with my family, looking AND seeking for this God of yours, and he has never made himself known.

@Dillrod90 Yes,having faith is a mystery to those who don't understand it. That's why people reject it, ridicule and mock it. Or they will seek it.
Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." So unless one softens their heart (like a child) and seeks God, one will never understand it.
harvestsoulfly 1 month ago
@harvestsoulfly There is no mystery in faith, a belief without reasonable evidence. If Jesus praised the Lord (himself) for keeping the truth from the wise and revealed it only for the children, then I suppose I have to have the mentality of a child to accept something so irrational. But God didn't reveal himself to the wise or learned. Why? Could he not convince him? And why is his choice to hide himself from one group of people worth praise? Where is the good in that?

In the first century BC. Thousands were sent to martyrdom by Rome's account. They died singing, blessing God and his Son.

The Word of God permeated their lives, The Holly Spirit of God acted as per promised and the known world was changed so much that we live in the christian era

History can never be proven by science. The pen drops at anytime. Historical events happen once at the only truth to be know is find a witness. The history shows that the events that are written about Christ are good history. Cities, time frames, location exist in time and space. The events have good history. Decent evidence. Jesus make the claim to me GOD. So it does matter. Jesus did live, and if so the events might have happened, and therefore, you have to grapple with Jesus as God.

@skywize The cities just lend facts to the case. It does not make it false or true. But if the cities did not exist, than you would know the writings to be false and untrue. All History is based on the faith that the writers wrote down what they saw and what they saw was real and happened. History can not be repeated so History can never be proven by scientific method. History has a faith component in that you trust the writers to been factual and witnesses or talk to witnesses

@MRGV7373 Ok, I will agree with most of that. However, not all history is by witness alone. Archeologists and palientologists dig up new things every day. Each artifact on it's own says very little, but analyzed among others can give you a timeline, and even a story. The written word can be used to support evidence, but can't be used as proof. King Arthur for instance was written of many times in many different tales, yet his existence is doubtable at best.

Yes, Sediment of rocks comments below.... "All sediment was laid down by Noah's flood" OK, how many floods lay down thousands of layers of sediment. Noah's flood SHOULD have laid down one big layer of sediment. Sediment can be 12 miles deep. Some sediment layers are slanted upward at steep angles dut to plate driftings. How did N American snails get to Noah's ark? Howabout polar bears, penguins, Koala Bears, etc? How did they get back home? Why didn't God save the Dinosaurs, etc?

@baldone46 Just thought I'd let you know that koalas are not actually bears. But I agree with the gist of what you are saying, amazing that there are people in developed countries in the 21st century who literally believe bronze-age, Middle Eastern mythology to be true.

Religious differences are never end. Just like smart people and stupid people have to co-exist. I mean...is this fair? God is not fair, cuz if he's fair he'd kill all stupid ppl (Christian) because how can God's creation be stupid?

@hempartist420 You said, "You are the one that needs to provide evidence for that, not sandals, not sulfur balls, ACTUAL evidence"
-You asked me to give you archeological evidence, you did not ask me for other kinds of evidence, & so based on what you asked for I gave you archeological evidence just like you asked for. I can show you other forms of evidence if you'd like, evidence in cosmology, history, DNA, the news (refurring to prophecy) & miracles (you didn't ask for that kind of evidence).

@hempartist420 I explained to you earlier that I have much more archeological evidence to show, but the way we all view archeology is based on the witness accounts that go with the relics, you couldn't have known that the native americans existed if the archeological relics for them were not applied to witness accounts, all archeologists/ historians study evidence that way, even the skeptics of the bible, even evolutionists work that way when looking at sediments that can only be moved by water.

@hempartist420 You asked, "but you're telling me if I don't believe in your magical stories, that I'm going to burn in hell forever"
-No, I'm saying that if you reject Jesus's gospels on purpose when a lot of evidence for his gospels have been shown to you & you reject it on a nihilist level then God can't save you from the darkness; according to Jesus's gospels there will be many who don't know that God exists who will be taken into heaven because they didn't on purposely reject his gospels.

@hempartist420 You said, "You said, "I don't have to believe da Vinci (not Divinchy) exists, or that the spanished killed the Mayans (but how do you explain the fact that they speak spanish south of the border?)"
-The fact that they speak spanish was not the question, the question was about evidence for the spanish killing Mayans at all (the spanish could've been peaceful for all you know). If you choose not to believe that da Vinci exists then you choose not to look smart in front of atheists.

@hempartist420 I'm waiting for you to answer all my simple questions & to observe the evidence you use for your beliefs. You believe that fossils are old to begin with because someone told you that layers mean millions of years old, based on your logic I might as well believe in God because someone said so LOL.
Why do you believe that Divinchy existed anyway? What evidence do you use to prove huis existance? What evidence do you use to prove that the Spanish killed the Mayans? Etc? Etc? Etc?
starsheild7 4 months ago
@hempartist420 I'm not saying that a single tooth is evidence for evolution, I'm saying "they" are. But even the fossil record is the same as looking at something in the ground and making up a story about it, the "record" itself was based on the location of France & England, the "record" is a story that is being used as evidence that DNA can mutate beneficial features instead of disease, it is no different than saying a mere rumor proves that Shakespear wrote nothing.
Answer all my questions...
starsheild7 4 months ago
@hempartist420 Firstly, stop cussing at me with intense IMATURE insults, are you not an adult? Secondly, you should take a look at the evidence that you use for your beliefs, they happen to be observed in the same way- a TOOTH to defend evolution itself, a PEICE of pottery to say that a civilization is 10,000 years old, & a RUMOR to say that Shakespear didn't write anything. I'm waiting for you to answer my very simple easy questions, if you can't you will look like an ape. I'm going to wait....

Looking at all the witness accounts of EVERY anchient culture & knowing how they lived, I see no psychological reason why such witness accounts could come from lies because people back then didn't have good reasons to document lies, their witness accounst could very well be their best way of describing what they ACTUALLY saw. & here you are accusing ALL historical people of lying; Just because people in your life lied to you does not prove that every account is a lie
starsheild7 4 months ago
@hempartist420 You said, "You need to look up ACTUAL archeological evidence... so dumb"
-& what exactly DO YOU classify as archeological evidence?
-I thought you were smart but you seem to cherry pick witness accounts to fit a presupposition that God can't exist, yet you have nothing to show me why God "can't" exist, & this is because you are erogent & full of yourself due to having trust issues with people, & it's probably because you had people in your life that decieved you

@hempartist420 You said, "& these sulfur balls are on the same site that claims to show evidence of giant human skeletons"
-If they found giant human skeletons then what evidence are you missing from their existance (they actuaklly have the skeletons)? They even have photos of them yet you erogantly ASSUME that giant humans could not exist because you chose to not believe in the accounts of God a long time ago before you studied any feild (because you never really wanted God to exist ever)

@hempartist420 You said, "& OMG, they found sandals, that's what people wore, I don't even know why you would bring that up"
-Well why would someone bring up a wooden wheel to add to the validaty that Divinchy even existed, or why would people bring up a tooth to add to the validaty of humans being descendant of "ape like creatures"?
-The anchient sandels adds validaty to the accounts of Moses & his people escaping Egypt & building the golden calf
-A creator is a better explanation to reality

@hempartist420 You asked, "First of all, there are hieroglyphs of Ra & Isis hanging out with Pharoahs, so does that mean Egyptian gods exist?"
-I believe they might either be the Nephilim (mentioned in Genesis) also known as E.T.'s, OR they could even be fallen angels out to decieve people (also described in Genesis), just about every anchient culture (including native americans & Mayans) has had anchient written accounts of spirits/ "gods" marrying human women to give birth to "strange humans"

@hempartist420 With the few archeological evidence (OUT OF MANY) that I showed you to add validaty to the Hebrew accounts in the bible, why scoff at the accounts of the Hebrews if you use just as much archeological evidence (OR LESS) to believe in the Italian accounts of Julius Caesar even existing, or the accounts of ufo's? Hmm? Is it because the accounts in the bible were made by Hebrews & not by white English people? Is that it?

... And there aren't just "some" sulfur balls as you put it, there are thousands apon thousands of sulfer balls covering the remains of an anchient city in the exact location of Sodom & Gommora, this is proof that fire & brimstone literally fell on the anchient city without any geological signs of a volcanoe anywhere near the location of this city (how did the sulfer get there); this gives more validaty to the stories of the old testimate. You got a problem with that?
starsheild7 4 months ago
@hempartist420 You asked, "lmao, some hieroglyphs, sandals, & some sulfur balls?"
-Yep, just a few examples of archeological evidence out of MANY for the stories of the old testiment. What's your problem with it? The hieroglyphs of the golden calf show archeological evidence that the Hebrews did leave Egypt & Moses destroyed the calf which adds validaty to Moses's accounts, the sandels show that the alter is anchient, plus you have witness accounts...

@hempartist420 Sorry for forgetting to respond to you (I had a lot on my "to-do list"
-A few examples of archeological evidence (out of many) is 1) there is an alter with a hirogliphs of a cow being worshipped by people with three wells near it with remains of very anchient sandels near it in the same location as the alter of the golden calf & 3 wells near it (in the old testimate). 2) there are the remains of an anchient city peppered with sulfer balls in the same location of Sodom/ Gommora.

@hempartist420 You asked, "So Harry Potter exists? Oddyseus exisrts (Homer's "The Oddessy)?
-Is there a historcal account for Harry Potter? No. Is there archeology to prove Harry Potter's existence? No. Yet there are both historcal witness accounts AND archeology to support the existence & stories in the old testiment times (exactly as much evidence as other historical figures & stories, the bible just holds supernatural stories but the there is scientific theoretical evidence for supernature).

@hempartist420 You asked, "So anything that happens to be written in a book is proof that a character in that book exists (such as moses)
-No, it is not proof but rather evidence only because it is a witness account (there is also archeology too); there is just as much or more evidence for Moses existing as there is evidence for Julius Caesar existing, everyone believes that Julius Caesar existed because of witness accounts & acheology why do you believe that Julius Caesar existed & not Moses?
starsheild7 4 months ago
well we certainly cannot deny that Jesus existed, the accounts from Josephus, plinny the younger etc tell us that he did, I don't know where Matt is coming from, does he believe Jesus existed well no! we can't make him believe what the record(history says)did Jesus do what the NT said he did? well there are accounts outside of the NT that said he did supernatural things, by credible witnesses(historians)so the question is not whether Matt believes them to be pssible, but are they really possible

Lee (Josh) do not pretend, they are clear on this, but ask questions that sceptics might ask. You seem to cast apologetics under their bus. They make clear that they are not trained scholars but there are many who are who affirm Christianity. It's easy to pick on entry level people and then brush the whole field. Anyways, the Bible is the definition of God. Read Gordon H Clark "Christian Philosophy" and "A Christian View of Men and Things" He would agree with you about Evidential Apologetics.

We are due for moving to a higher consciousness plane. The same way the suffering of gazelles killed by lions make the species stronger, the suffering of mankind will help us move to the next consciousness level. A greater good comes for the species. The next level is the rejection of greed, materialism and selfishness. Our current capitalist system need to collapse in order to achieve this. If you are not ready spiritually, you'll suffer. This is happening now, be ready. God Bless.
