The scientology panorama investigation raises the question: Is there such a thing as 'the truth'?

What is the basis on which we believe somthing is true? With all the different voices telling us they know the path to God and the perfect life, we must pay attention to what we believe. We need to investigate people's claims and look at the evidence. If we don't, it could cost us a lot.

Jesus claims to be the only way to God and the only way to receive eternal life. There is hard evidence that Jesus can be trusted. Look at the historical evidence of the bible and there you will find not a long-haired hippy telling you to be good, but the eye witness accounts of quite a surprising man with quite remarkable claims.

Yes it is easy to disregard the Bible and many people do this quite frequently, however, the first question I ask you is this if I must explore the bible...Which one? as we all know there are lots of versions of the bible some even differ in the amount of books the contain so which it... the KJV? New World? Revised Standard? Douay Rheims?...exactly which one of the bibles will point me in the direction you have stated...first answer that then we can think about moving forward.

There are 66 books in the bible (Old and new testaments). Try and grab an NIV or ESV as you don't get the 'thee' and 'thou' language of some of the other translations. Reading a gospel (eg. the book of Mark) would be a good place to start. Ask 'who is this man?' 'And why did he come?' That should get you started. Enjoy :)

Christianity is without doubt 'better' than Scientology but its still a load of claptrap!

[andypearce69]

Read Mark's gospel in the bible with an open, adult mind. Ask who is Jesus and why did he come? Then decide whether it's "claptrap" or not.

The point the video is trying to make is that people form an opinion on something without looking at it properly or exploring the evidence.

[Chrispy7]

With what evidence? A rewritten, mistranslated, factually error strewn and in part ficticious book. Ridiculous. I understand the message you are trying to promote just disagree strongly with your beliefs.

[andypearce69]

I 100% respect that & agree if the bible is a load of rubbish then Christianity & Jesus is a waste of time. BUT, if Jesus claims r true then there r implications 4 everyone. I used 2 think it was all, myth but after investigating I realised the bible is a collection of reliable eye witness accounts.

[andypearce69]

The more I investigate, the more I am convinced Jesus' claims r true. I haven't met anyone who has a rationale argument that makes me think otherwise. Prove 2 me it's "claptrap" & I'll pack it in.

Matthew 27:43; John 10:31-33; John 17:5; Mark 14:61b-62; Mark 14:61b-62 (where He refers to 'son of man' He's referring to the expected Messiah talked about in the Old Testament... Daniel 7:13-14); John 10:30. Hope that helps :) there are plenty more but there's a few for you

man love rules okay

[ledzeppeliniv88]

All I can ask is that people look inside their hearts and ask themselves if they are truly happy with these worldly pleasures they indulge in. If the answer is no then ask yourself why. For every desire that we have on Earth there is a way to indulge it. If there is some desire we have that cannot be fulfilled on Earth then there must be another world in which we are able to be fulfilled. This is why I have faith in Christ.

[ledzeppeliniv88]

"Evidence" can be found in support of anything if you look for it. It all comes down to what you put your faith in: Christ, or the popular media, or scientists, or scientologists for that matter. As a Christian I believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God and that when judgement day comes each of us will be held responsible for our sin.

[FurorTeutonica]

oh, i knew that.

[craggles80]

I'm not a Christian, just for the record.

[FurorTeutonica]
