Jesus is a liar, or didn`t mean what he said, On several occasions he sadi,,,, Anything yoiu ask in my name, the father will give you. ....Just try it, and see what happens. In1939, the whole christian world was praying for peace, in Jesus name. What did we get ? 60 million corpses.

[Lisztman88]

@tallliza He is speaking to believers in that passage, friend.

[max2right]

there is no evidence that gods exist. The god of the bible is a blood thirsty megalomaniac that killed millions of innocent creatures. Human sacrifice for vicarious redemption is immoral. The abrahamic religions are evil and dangerous death cults looking forward to the destruction of the planet and the death of all that don't believe as they do. the world woulf be a safer place were there no religion in it.

[SummerSunshine1988]

@max2right : God exists. None of us are "innocent". We are all under the curse of sin and deserve death.

The world would be safer? Uh, no. As long as there are two people on this Earth, they will find something to fight about. That's the way people are. If they aren't fighting over religion, they'll fight over God, or they'll fight over money, or resources, or land, or whether to order pizza or chinese food for dinner.

[max2right]

@SummerSunshine1988 "Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions." - Blaisé Pascal

According to the bible your kill crazy god drowned millions of innocent creatures that he supposedly created and loved. What did all those puppies, kittens, bunnies, lions, cows, snails and snakes do to deserve such a horrible death?

[SummerSunshine1988]

@max2right : God made sure that they would all live on. Remember? Two of each animal entered the ark. That flood was an attempt to wipe out the evil from the Earth and start over fresh.

[max2right]

@SummerSunshine1988 And still he terrorized and downed millions. Imagine the mother wolf struggling to get her pups to higher ground, the mother elephant swimming till exhausted with trunk held high to get that last breath. Your god, if he/she/it existed, would be a heartless bastard. What did those creatures do to deserve this.

[SummerSunshine1988]

@max2right : Everything has to die at one point or another. It's part of mortal life. What form that event takes is up to God. Regarding animals specifically, it depends on who you talk to. Some Christians believe that animals don't have souls. Others, like myself, believe that animals do have souls.

[max2right]

@SummerSunshine1988 I understand how difficult it is for you to attempt to justify such a horrible thing. The fact that you attempt to do so tells a story all it's own. All life does die but, is the mass killing of innocent creatures moral? Your all powerful and loving god could have wiped out the evil humans but chose mass killing instead. There is no such thing as a soul but, that's irrelevant. The bible is so filled with vengeance and killing that' it should be X rated for children.

[SummerSunshine1988]

@max2right : God did wipe out all the evil humans. Only Noah and his family were saved.

[max2right]

@SummerSunshine1988 You ignore the obvious meaning of my comment. Let me make it simple. According to the bible your god killed millions of innocent creatures. Is that a moral act? If you had such power I doubt very much that you would so such an evil thing.

[SummerSunshine1988]

@max2right : Nothing about our mortal world is "innocent". It is all detestable in the eyes of God.

[max2right]

@SummerSunshine1988 Wow! In your mind even kittens and puppies are evil and deserve to be terrorized and killed. I've never been so glad to be an atheist. Religion thrives on the degradation of followers and now even dumb creatures with no understanding are threatened. Your religious belief has reduced you to a hater of all living things. That is sad. I'm finished here.

[SummerSunshine1988]

@max2right : I'm nearly convinced that nobody loves animals more than I do. I personally even believe that animals understand a great many things that we do not give them credit for.

Look, all I know is that Noah and his family were the only righteous people on Earth. God commanded Noah to build an ark, get two of every animal on it, and there was a flood. Then things went from there.

[surshot56]

@SummerSunshine1988 what day Jesus died? You Christians like calling people guilty of fictional things, yet somehow miss the obvious errancy in the bible.

[aveyowyns]

@SummerSunshine1988

Noah's family wasn't a righteous family...

Noah was just as bad as the rest of them - God offered him grace: Noah found GRACE in the eyes of the Lord.

[SummerSunshine1988]

@aveyowyns : I'll go back and read the story, but I could have sworn that the Bible says that Noah found favor with God because he was the only righteous man on Earth.

[surshot56]

@SummerSunshine1988 What hard core scientific proof do you have that the world operates in this manner? We are all innocent unitl proven guilty. Are you going to head over to the justice department and rewrite law? My second question is simple, how do you account for all the other flood myths in the world that differ from the biblical interpretation? Third, how do you explain the massive amounts of evidence for evolution? Why are there biblical contradictions? Why do the gospels differ on

[SummerSunshine1988]

@surshot56 : There are no Bible contradictions. Jesus died on Good Friday, and rose on Easter Sunday. Evolution may or may not be fact, either way it doesn't mean that God doesn't exist. There have been many a flood on this Earth, but only one of them covered the entire Earth. Man's law dictates innocence until guilt is proven. God's law dictates guilt until innocence is proven through the blood of Jesus Christ.

[waxheadglossy]

@SummerSunshine1988 babies are innocent are'nt they? or are they detestable to god??i think not

[SummerSunshine1988]

@waxheadglossy : Babies suffer the same curse as everybody else. Obviously a newborn hasn't had time to commit any sins, but his/her nature is still sinful, as is all of mortal life.

[waxheadglossy]

@SummerSunshine1988 yes but you said "all is detestable to God" "Nothing about our mortal world is "innocent"IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THEN YOU NEED TO CHECK YOU'RE LOGIC!!!

[SummerSunshine1988]

@waxheadglossy : I don't make the rules. If God says that's the way it is, then that's the way it is.

[jorgeasalas]

Existence, you cannot see it or feel it but you know is there, that is how GOD is shown to the blind.

[tallliza]

@jorgeasalas Yeah, he is just like that million dollar in my pocket. I can feel it, but I can never see it, or use it.

[mousegeek]

Why has god not bothered with a second book? I say this because a good deal of the Old Testament is so ludicrous and barbaric that it has absolutely no value for us?

I certainly wouldn't follow god because he seems to have created many of the problems in the world. Without meaning to be offensive, god is useless. I can't understand why anyone would want to follow this idiot god!

[psk6565]

@mousegeek And would you respect one that hears your words and follows your ideas? Where would you lead people? What usefulness have you offered to those surounding you? The God that says He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed, the God says He will help the humble and be with those that are destitute, He is useless?

Tell me, how have you helped people with your wisdom?

[mousegeek]

@psk6565

When's god going to do all these wonderful things! It's been 2000 yrs since Jesus died. That's a long wait! if Jesus message was so important why didn't he write it down himself? John didn't write his account until 100 years after Jesus' death: this shows because John mentions things not mentioned in the other gospels. It's very clear the writer of John made it all up).

So far Jesus hasn't been any where near the broken hearted, and he hasn't lifted a finger to help the crushed.

[psk6565]

@mousegeek If the teaching be accepted that God causes men to write exactly what He intends them to write, then Jesus has no need to physically write. Men are His tools. You assume all writers have to same goal. Just because things aren't mentioned by John, does not mean he is a liar.

So, you deny every person that claims Christ has lift them up and strengthened them with supernatural strength.

You agree with others that the sun gives you warmth because you have experienced you.

[psk6565]

@mousegeek experienced it.

[tallliza]

@psk6565 God never said anything. it just your imagination.

[tallliza]

If god exists he is more elusive as Bigfoot.

[psk6565]

@tallliza And how much time have you spent looking for Bigfoot?

[tallliza]

@psk6565 Irrelevant !!!

[psk6565]

@psk6565  Does your presupposed idea that Bigfoot does not exist cause you to have no interest in searching for it? You simply do not believe bigfoot is there so you do not even lift a finger in the interest of knowing for yourself.

[Hordeofantestor]

@tallliza God is impossible to find unless he finds you.

[tallliza]

@Hordeofantestor He most probably cannot find me. But he knows how many hairs I have on my scalp. LOL

[pdrtech45]

Looking at your video really gave me such a peach and satisfaction knowing I have been TRULY SAVED from the enslavement of your teachings.Having been a Christian for most of my life and now knowing just how Falsifiable it truly is makes me appreciate the teachings of Reason and Rashionality.For those Christians who are reading this always question your beliefs with skepticism and you will set yourself free of this Cancer called Christianity.

[AIReject]

If you claim a God exists you must provide proof or evidence for your claim. Otherwise, it can be disregarded as complete bull.

[samtorrance5590]

@AIReject Don't need to provide proof, his creation does that for him.

[Spider58x]

@samtorrance5590

that's not proof you idiot. that's claim that you must prove. Prove that God created anything otherwise just hush because you don't even know what the words "proof" or "evidence" is.

[dicuss1567]

@AIReject You know he exist, quit rejecting truth

[AIReject]

@dicuss1567 If you know he exists, provide evidence for this "truth"

[dicuss1567]

@AIReject What I said was YOU know he exist. You just reject.

If you don't believe or dont care why are you on here demanding truths from Gods word.

If you don't believe then dont come on here. But it shows that you do believe becuase you are on here wanting answers.

I dont believe in lepercons. So you dont see me at Irish prades demanding truth about Lepercons, I know they dont exist. What your are doing is looking for proof of his existence, because you truly do believe.

[AIReject]

@dicuss1567 Wow, so much wrong. No. I don't believe he exists. You can't tell me what I "know" especially when I dont believe. I might as well tell you that you know Leprochauns exist. It's pointless and not true. I do care. If there's good reason to believe I will, but there hasn't been any good reason to. Religious belief of others directly affects what happens in my life, belief in leprochauns doesn't. I care that people believe something for no reason and use it to influnce their opinions.

[dicuss1567]

@AIReject You just reject it.

God bless you anyways

[connieishere2]

@AIReject dude Gid does exists no man seen his face and lived only man seen his face it was moses we have born again christians have proof God is real Satan is playing saying that God isn't real it says in john 14:6 i'm the way the truth and the light o one get to the father but by me. that's what Jesus Christ says py attention to what you say cause it will come back on you

[AIReject]

@connieishere2 Okay, so now you have to 1. Demonstrate that the bible is a reliable source of information, 2. Demonstrate that Jesus existed and performed the acts portrayed in the bible, 3. Demonstrate a god exists, and 4. Demonstrate that it is the christian god. If you or anyone else can do that, I'll convert to Christianity.

[connieishere2]

@AIReject 1.The bible will turn you away from your sins and you will be set from sins and you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 2. and yes Jesus did existed and died and rosed up three days later for our sins. 3.God really does existed meaning that if you draw close to him he'll draw near to you i have a personal reletionship with him and u have to believe and have faith in his name to know he's real and now prayer is the key to heaven

[AIReject]

@connieishere2 I said demonstrate, as in provide reasonable evidence. What you did was just tell me what you think without a shred of reasoning.

[connieishere2]

@AIReject i showed you these why people are going to hell i know God is real and as christians we dide for what we believe in you kill people for what u believe in romans 1:23 and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man,and to birds,and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. God created all of us adam and eve ate from the tree now we are sinful people Jesus die and promised us everlasting life in our after life if we worship him feel the wrath of God

[wp4866]

Boy, are you ever convinced. So it's believe or burn, right? Your god also created men to want sex, and then says "but you better not outside of a marriage". If sin bothers your loving god so much I'm sure he could find a better way than this mess he made. Your god is a psychotic slug.

[facerfacer]

God is jealous of other gods.

[dbridewell]

amazing teaching!

[Sloth451]

I dont really know about this special love but i think God loves everyone equally and cannot love anyone more than He already does.

[padraigomairtin]

Do christians believe the values of the Bible are valid for all men and for all time because they are somehow inspired by God? Or have I got this wrong?

[Mikebriand]

and God is jealous, dont forget that one

[Robotnic000]

If God let everyone into heaven it would defeat the purpose of our choice to Love him back. God loves you even though you have sinned against him, do you love him back? make the choice. we have free will, we aren't robots. choose.

[RURIGHT]

DouTho666...Greater people of higher intelligence than you or I have believed in God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Surly there are many religious people and then you have those like myself who have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior who pray and meditate on Gods word daily. I follow no cloud in the sky nor believe in a godless god! But let me tell you something! Once you've been touched by God and feel His presence you will know without Doubt that He is God. Be careful Pride may destroy you.

[weeweelegs]

God sent Jesus to paid the price of sin,

an atonement, the Lamb of God.

But you have to repent and receive God's

gift.

The message I hear today , is Jesus died

to save the lost, but no mention of receiving or repentance.

God will reject those who are not washed in the Lambs blood.

Good video, keep in the truth.

[DefendingTheTruth]

"A god more like santa clause" HA HA!

[ofreshartist]

Everyone who can here the gospel today is blessed. Jesus is Saviour, and he is the life.

[AaronM144000]

So God does not unconditional hate most people like I have heard some people tell me. He has holy and just hatred for men who voluntarily transgress.

[ipwinyou]

He hates the sin, not the man. But if someone will not repent from there transgressions then they are under judgement and God's wrath.

[Severion]

God does hate the unrepented and ansaved sinners

[ipwinyou]

Verses to back this up?

[dwaynesweatman1988]

He hates the sin and not the man? Then why does the man go to hell? Why does the bible say he is angry with the sinner and not the sin? Sinners go to hell.

[Whitney702]

wise words

[nlspears02]

Ppl don't understand that God's hate is not like our hate. God's hate is perfect and not tainted with sin. That is why he tells believers not to hate, because our sin taints our hate, while God's hate is perfect and justified. He does hate the sinner, who is it that he tosses into the lake of fire. His hate is perfect and justified.

[ipwinyou]

Can you site specific verses to back this up?

[nlspears02]

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him," (John 3:36).

Psalm 5:5, "The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity,"

Leviticus 20:23: And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nations which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I ABHORRED THEM.

Romans 9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but ESAU HAVE I HATED.

[ipwinyou]

vzkEXSfjmTo <---add this to the = on youtube

[nlspears02]

That video is a poor refutation of what has been stated. Lastly, why doesn't God just cast the sin into the Lake of Fire and not the sinner if he just hates the sin?

[RURIGHT]

Sin is an Action and is not palpable and cannot be thrown into hell. The sinner is someone who hasn't accepted Jesus Christ into their heart and made Him Lord of their life!Christian's though must abide in Him, but if one does sin we know we have a propitiator which is Jesus Christ and 1 John 1:9.10 is applied with truthfulness which makes the person Righteous not by you works but by Gods work through Jesus. We are then the Righteousness of God in Christ! And then we can come boldly before Him!

[ipwinyou]

Much better explination of what I was trying to say, thx!

[RURIGHT]

ipwinyou....Thank you for the comment.

God Bless you.

[RURIGHT]

@facerfacer In what manner am I such? You make a statement without reason? Explain yourself if you're going to make such a remark!

[ipwinyou]

People do not go to hell for sinning, they are born with sin upon them from adam and eve and therefore all born after them are born with sin upon them. They goto hell for rejecting Jesus Christ and what he did to atone that sin on the cross.

[dwaynesweatman1988]

Is not rejecting Christ a sin?

People go to hell for sinning.

There are many that never hear of Jesus, they still go to hell. All are under condemnation. God's purpose and Decree is set around his Glory, not man's glory.

[llDefecTedll]

My question is this - If a man never ever heard of Christ and died and since he never rejected him , would God be just or would he be cast into darkness ? Im not debating its just a question

[ipwinyou]

Sure and I will give my answer as I understand it. In Romans 1:32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Also old testament- 'I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people'" (Jer. 31:33). This tells me that no one has excuse,but I'm sure many will debate im taking it out of context

[llDefecTedll]

Cool thanks . I have been feeling wired lately as IM always questioning God and who he is - I have no clue why but its like I feel something trying to get me to let go and be who you are ... Not that IM going to listen to this voice as IM sure its not of God - But man for over a year now salvation and atheism is on my shoulders ! Its a wired feeling - I know God is real yet a voice tells me there is no God daily .. Sounds wired but yeah that's why I asked that question

[ipwinyou]

I understand, I feel that way everyday to! I guess for me if I don't lean on or turn to God then I feel helpless as if what am I here for. Even though I am saved (from what the bible say's) I not only believe that Christ died for me on my behalf and for my sin and I except him as my master I sometimes question if im saved, but I turn to scripture like psalms 103 and he gives me reassurence of full forgivness. What a wonderful God we have

[sneakytanderson]

hey, i know exactly what you mean. I am surrounded by pritty much only athiests, but i can tell you that Jesus is sosososososo real over and over. you can ask me anything if you want

[sneakytanderson]

its a tough question, but the bible says all men are born condemed, we have all sinned, and if we die without repentance to God then we get cast out. The bible says very few will get to heaven. You should probably ask someone else, i'm maybe not the best person to answer this question.

[mrich21087]

Romans 1:18-20 deals with what you are talking about. However, if you believe in the God of the Bible, creator of everything, wouldn't it be entirely possible that whoever truly wants to hear about Christ and is predestined to be called as a son will be sent a person by God to tell them about Jesus?

[llDefecTedll]

Good point and yes I stand with the Word of God only and nothing more ... IM not perfect in what it all says but I do understand what it means and how to live by the truth :)

[esotericapeman]

All who, through no fault of their own, have never heard the Gospel, can be saved by turning to God as He can be known through reason and nature. It's more difficult, but their salvation is still possible. God loves all people.

[ecthompson99]

The key is to understand why people go to hell. They do not go to hell because they rejected, they go to hell because of their sin (John 3:36; Rev. 20:13). God executes His perfect justice against them.

The only way to be saved from the penalty of sin is to believe upon Jesus who took that condemnation for us upon the cross.

This is why evangelism and missions is such an urgent task.

Whether a man goes to hell or is saved by Jesus, God's justice is fulfilled.

[pricelesspam]

You can be angry with someone and still love them.

[MixyBoy]

@pricelesspam Thats true, but there is also one thing called justice....

[pricelesspam]

@MixyBoy And something called mercy too,and we wouyld not get saved without the mercy of God.

[MrBlenderMan]

mercy is for those who deserve it

[the13thof12]

@MrBlenderMan Then it wouldn't be mercy.

[alyspinner]

@MrBlenderMan the bible says,we are not worthy of gods mercy. no one deserves mercy its through gods grace and the death of jesus christ alone that makes us deserving what a beautiful thing!

[fruitofspirit]

"Overwhelm you with visions of Himself..."

AHHH!! Beautiful.

good post.
