Christian Apologetics - Numbers 31

I love Christian Apologetics. It can make sense of all the most difficult Biblical problems I can think of.

you don't understand God, why would you belittle it? Why can you tell me that and not apply it to yourself? I'm telling you all this because I know for a fact that science cannot determine everything so therefore science is the weaker tool to reasonable faith.

"I know for a fact that science cannot determine everything so therefore science is the weaker tool to reasonable faith."

Hey, that's new! And remarkable. Are you seriously saying that faith is better at determining truth because there are a few things science hasn't explained yet?

You're completely, utterly delusional.

[FaithisNOTblind]

If science is not the only thing to know truth, what else is there? We've already covered relativity. I don't doubt scientists progressing in the origins of life but what about the origin of the universe? Big Bang? what about before big bang? or before before big bang, certainly science cannot reach into a different realm to explain our existence, then where did that realm come from? what about the one before that, and that, and that???? Infinite causes are impossible without a starting point.

[ClosetAtheist]

You're getting repetitive. There is no reason to postulate before the Big Bang. You could make up any scenario. I believe that before the big bang, the universe was an onion bagel shaped like a tractor. It's meaningless.

My template: One truth, One Sovereign God, One purpose in life, God is absolute.

Your template: observational experiments, science is progressing, truth is relative, science is the absolute truth to life.

you keep on saying science is progressing, ok it is...but what you're absolutely implying is that "science is the only way to know of our truth and existence." If that is true, what scientific method did you use to come up with that truth???

[ClosetAtheist]

"but what you're absolutely implying is that "science is the only way to know of our truth and existence." If that is true, what scientific method did you use to come up with that truth???"

Stop it, you're killing me.

I'm saying that science has a proven record of showing truth. I'm not implying anything absolutely. Stop with the word games.

This whole thing that the apologetics are saying about stopping interbreeding to ensure the messianic line makes no sense because they kept the virgin girls alive to have sex with. What a bunch of bullshit.

So much lack of understanding about the Bible and the nature of God. Not only in this video, but in the comments too. It's this 'I alone can determine what is right or wrong and God must adhere to my reasoning' attitude. Even with no understanding of God's Word it's ludicrous for anybody to put themselves on that level.

That's the bottom line, and that's why the majority of you people on YouTube that attempt to argue against Christianity are morons.

Numbers 31 shows that god is not loving. He ordered genocide, the killing of innocent children, and the sexual enslavement of young women! Nothing can justify that atrocity.

They should change the name of "CARM" to CRAP

@FaithisNOTblind "reasonable" faith cannot determine anything. It makes no testable predictions, it is completely impotent. All it can do is blind you from reality.

To put it another way, you believe in the 4th demention I'm sure but before Einstein came along and had any way to scientifically test it, or even knew about it, did that mean it didn't exist? The intellect of men compared to God is like the intellect of of ants compared to humans.  Nature proves God created the universe. You don't have to see God or be able to scientifically do a test on Him to know that.

[7777Ralph]

God says you are without excuss because nature proves He exists. The very things you look at in nature to suggest evolution only prove that God created everything. You don't want anything to do with God, and therefore you have decided that if you can't see something or test it that it doesn't exist. That funny because you can't even understand the smallest building blocks of the universe (the Atom) or cure the common cold, and yet you think through your intellect you have the answers?

[lotanddaughters]

Science doesn't explain everything, but believing that the Bible is the Word of the Creator of the universe is downright fucking FOOLSH. If YOU are a Christian, I will BELITTLE YOU whenever the fuck I WANT.

So, screwing around a little and belonging to the "wrong religion" is a worse sin than genecide? Actually, I've heard worse apologetics to justify Jehovah's acts - one excuse is that God has different ideas of what is good and evil, which is like admitting that God is evil. After all, we can only use our definitions when describing things - otherwise our words would be meaningless.
