So in order to go to heaven in Christianity all you need to do is believe jesus died for my sins? I can be a gangster like all those people who sell drugs, ruin lives, murder and still go to heaven because I simply believe Jesus died for my sins.

[drcraigvideos]

@soltbolz Believing that Jesus died for your sins entails a different lifestyle.

[soltbolz]

@drcraigvideos In what way because the Christians here in the U.K and specifically in my area follow a very similar and almost identical lifestyle to the atheists and when you compare the atheists lifestyle to the Muslims you see a massive difference.

[drcraigvideos]

@soltbolz Well, aside from your pesonal experience on how Christians are in the UK, I would recommend you read the Bible (without using the New Atheist Version) and see how Christians are. I think people like William Wilbefore, Jonathan Edwards, etc. are good examples of a Christian lifestyle worth emulating.

@drcraigvideos I like Christianity and most of the bible but do you not think it is more rational to believe in God because he sent a miraculous book rather than an event which happened 2,000 years ago?

[drcraigvideos]

@soltbolz How can you like Christianity when you haven't even stuided it properly. Judging from you comment, it's obvious you don't know it. And if you knew anything about the Bible you'd know it wasn't written by miraculous means.

@archeng123 Please stick with the topic of the video.

@archeng123 "Where did God come from" - a stupid question: God is eternal. He has to be in order to create time, because to "begin" is a temporal concept. A "god that came from somewhere" is as contradictory as a square circle. Just my two cents.

@soltbolz if they are having similar or identical lifestyles to atheists then that is evidence that they are not saved and have not truly put their trust in Christ. When a person truly puts their trust in Christ their life is marked by growing in sanctification (holiness) and becoming more and more like Jesus. It is often the case that somebody claims to be a Christian but in reality they are not, according to the Bible.

dear soltbolz.

there is a good book called 'the gospel solution' by tom weaver.

you may find it somewhat enlightening.

[soltbolz]

@drcraigvideos I like Christianity for a number of reasons. I like Christians and when I go to a church I am welcomed. Also Christianity stops racism which is important. I also like some of the gospels and the teachings of them. The only thing is I can believe in Islam because of the miraculous nature of the Qur'an but when it comes to the bible I don't see why I should believe any of it is true due to it not being miraculous in any way compared to the Qur'an and its miraculous nature.
