About Ephesians 2:8-9... that's before God reaches to men and saves them. Ephesians 2:10 talks about the New Creation in Jesus Christ. The Real Christians reveal their faith thru LOVE.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)
Whoever says He/She is a Christians and NOT Love his brother, not just by "words" but by deeds, He/She is a Liar!!
@metalbandsinger – PART 2 of 2 - All we can suggest is you study the Bible and ask God to reveal His truth to you. This is not merely a matter of historical similarities, it is an eternally important issue not to be treated lightly, so we hope you treat this with the seriousness it deserves. You would have to admit to the uniqueness of the Bible and how it stands alone as opposed to all other world religions.
@metalbandsinger – PART 1 of 2 - Yes, we agree YouTube comments are not the best platform for meaningful dialog! That’s why we don’t spend a lot of time debating issues here. There is a reason why the Bible has withstood the test of time and other myths and legends (even if some are historically factual) have mostly gone by the wayside.
it's not about disproving the bible. it'sabsolutely obvious that the bible has accurate historical details. through science/archeology we have confirmed that certain kings were indeed ruling when the bible states they were. we've confimed empires the bible mentions, and many other historical facts. but we've also confirmed those same facts about the Sumerians. kings, empires, etc...i am sorry but my response is too long for just one post. since youhave to approve them, i guess i'm out of luck...
you're clearly missing the point. my point is there are religious writings and texts that predate EVERYTHING written about in the bible. Sumerian religous texts state that the first human man was made from clay and his name was Adamu. that stuff came 6000 years ago, at what we know was the cradle of human civilization. however, the first books of Moses didn't appear until far later. coincidentally the fist man that Moses taught about was made from clay and named Adam.
@metalbandsinger - PART 1 of 2 - Hi :) Here’s a Great Article comparing the God of the Bible w/most other ancient “gods”: AnswersinGenesis*org/articles/aid/v2/n1/lord-is-great-god. // Another great article compares the Sumerian’s Epic of Gilgamesh w/Noah’s Flood at: GodAndScience*org/apologetics/gilgamesh*html Also, just b/c there’s similarities between other ancient writings & the Bible, some maybe even pre-dating the Bible, does NOT disprove the Bible.
@metalbandsinger - PART 2 of 2 – ALSO, just b/c something is Older, does not mean its more Truthful than something written later. Truth must have different criteria for validation than Time written. More down the lines of hHstorical Narratives & Archeological Evidence (as in the Bible), rather than Myths & Stories (as in Sumeria). // :)

but back to the original subject...what about all the other gods through out time? every human on earth had it wrong until some 100 years after the death of a jewish radical named Jesus of Nazareth? i mean, millions worshipped Zues and Athena and the other greek gods. and they did so for centuries.
@metalbandsinger - PT 1 of 8 - QUESTION: "How were people Saved before JESUS died for our Sins?"***ANSWER:: Since the fall of man, the basis of Salvation has always been the Death of Christ. No one, either prior to the Cross or since the Cross, would ever be Saved without that one pivotal event in the history of the world. Christ's death paid the Penalty for past sins of Old Testament saints& future sins of New Testament saints. The requirement for Salvation has always been Faith.
@metalbandsinger - PT 2 of 8- The object of one's Faith for Salvation has always been God. The Psalmist wrote, “Blessed are all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 2:12). Gen 15:6 tells us that Abraham believed God& that was enough for God to credit it to him for righteousness (see also Rom 4:3-8). The Old Testament sacrificial system did not take away sin, as Heb 10:1-10 clearly teaches. It did, however, point to the day when the Son of God would shed His blood for the sinful human race.
@metalbandsinger - PT 3 of 8 - What's changed thru the ages is the content of a Believer's Faith.God's requirement of what must be Believed is based on the amount of revelation He's given mankind up to that time..Adam Believed the promise God gave in Gen3:15 that the Seed of the woman would conquer Satan. Adam believed Him, demonstrated by the name he gave Eve(v 20)& the Lord indicated His acceptance immediately by covering them with coats of skin (v 21).
@metalbandsinger - PT 4 of 8: At that point that’s all Adam knew,but he Believed it.Abraham Believed God according to the Promises& new revelation God gave him in Gen12&15. Prior to Moses,no Scripture was written,but mankind was responsible for what God had revealed. Thru out the OldTestament,Believers came to Salvation b/c they Believed that God would someday take care of their Sin problem.Today, we look back, Believing that He's already taken care of our Sins on the Cross(John 3:16;Heb 9:28).
@metalbandsinger - PT 5 of 8: What about Believers in Christ's day, prior to the Cross& resurrection? What did they Believe? Did they understand the full picture of Christ dying on a Cross for their Sins? Late in His Ministry, Matt Matt16:21-22 “Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem& Suffer many things at the His of the Elders,ChiefPriests& Teachers of the Law, that he must be Killed& on the 3rdDay be raised to life” What was the Reaction of His disciples to this?
@metalbandsinger - PT 6 of 8 - Then Peter took him aside& began to rebuke him. ‘Never, Lord!’ he said. ‘This shall never happen to you!’” Peter& the other disciples did not know the full truth, yet they were Saved because they believed that God would take care of their Sin problem. They didn't exactly know how He would accomplish that, any more than Adam, Abraham, Moses, or David knew how, but they Believed God.
@metalbandsinger - PT 7 of 8- Today, we have more revelation than the people living before the resurrection of Christ; we know the full picture. Heb 1:1-2 says: “In the Past God spoke to our forefathers through the Prophets at many times& in various ways, but in these Last Days he has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things,& through whom He made the Universe.”
@metalbandsinger - PT 8 of 8 - Our Salvation is still based on the death of Christ, our Faith is still the requirement for Salvation,& the object of our Faith is still God. Today, for us,the content of our Faith is that Jesus Died 4 our Sins,He was Buried& He rose the 3rd Day (1 Cor15:3-4) / ForMore Q&As: GotQuestions(dot)org / So the Bad News :we're ALL in Trouble,the GOODNEWS is God provided a way of Escape thru JESUS.We need HisRighteousness on JudgmentDay.We must Repent & BelievetheGospel :)
you do know that the bible was taken largely from egyptian religion don't you? and that egyptian religion was taken largely from the sumerian religion. and that the sumerian religion is actually the first one in human history. in fact, according to the sumerians, the first man was named Adamu. do christians really think that everyone is wrong, except for them?
@metalbandsinger There is only ONE way to Heaven...thru the NARROW GATE Matt 7:13-14 Jesus says, "You can enter God's Kingdom ONLY through the NARROW GATE. The Highway to Hell is BROAD,& its Gate is WIDE for the MANY who choose that way. But the Gateway To Life is VERY NARROW,& the Road is DIFFICULT & only a FEW EVER find it." John 10:9 Jesus—"I AM THE GATE. Those who come in through ME will be SAVED."
@metalbandsinger - PART 1 of 3 - IF YOU DIED TODAY WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND ETERNITY? MANY think they’re going to Heaven, because they're A GOOD PERSON. Do You? QUICK TEST: Ever Lied? Stolen? Used God's Name in Vain? Lusted? Hated anyone? If so, God sees you as a Liar, Thief, Blasphemer, Adulterer (Matt 5:28) & Murderer at Heart (1 John 3:15). Liars, Murderers will be Cast into Hell (Rev 21:8). Thieves, Adulterers, Blasphemers will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9-10)...(continued)
@metalbandsinger - PART 2 of 3 - We’re ALL Guilty & we’d ALL End up in Hell! GOOD NEWS! God made a way of Escape! He sent Jesus to take our Punishment, Suffer & Die for our Sins, to satisfy God’s Anger against us. We did a Crime, & He Paid our Fine. Rom 5:8 “God Demonstrates His Love for us, while we were yet Sinners, Christ Died for us.” He rose from the Dead & Defeated Death. On Judgment Day (Heb 9:27)
@metalbandsinger - PART 3 of 3 - Jesus can declare us NOT GUILTY IF we Repent & Trust in Jesus, and God will give us the Gift of Eternal Life. Then Read your Bible Daily & Obey it (1 John 2:3-6). “Life is Short, Hell is Forever, Repent & Have Faith in Jesus! Sm Watch SO4J-TV Show: Judgment Day—Are You Ready? at: SO4J*com / :):):):):):)
so the bible says we all came from adam and eve...and that they had two sons...cain and abel...and that one day cain killed abel. but that would mean that cain would've had to conceive with his own mother in order for the human race to continue. which would mean we are all the products of incest. not only that but the bible doesn't even tell us where the egyptians came from. we just read that one day abraham and his wife wandering into egypt. and when they get there, there's already an empire

@SO4JTVandVideo ok so i read that page, and it says the same thing i did....that the bible doesn't specifcally say Adam and Even had other kids at the time Cain killed Abel, and even if they did, that page still says they would have to intermarry. Incest. now that page says the bible makes no claims for or against incest at that point. none of that explains how they were able to do so without genetic deformities. but i guess that God allowed their children to be born ok. right?
Way to many souls are duped while they are not truly converted. a lot of people are self-seeking and their going off feelings and emotionalism and not conviction of their sin, there's no true repentance but rather a lot of excuse making... to cover up faults!
when someone is truly converted they will produce fruit of it, they will renew their mind and put off their former lust not trying to carry those things into their relationship with the LORD!
