Why I Believe Part 1

Many people today ask the question - Why should I believe in the message of Christianity? Why should I believe that Jesus was anything more than simply being a radical preacher or political activist? There are lots of reasons why people come to faith in Christ, but for me, the greatest reason is the Bible itself.
This series of videos has been made to explain what I mean.

I think it's odd how few subscribers you have, it could be that people have trouble finding your videos. Have you considered sending them as video responses to more popular, recently released videos? It may help extend your subscriber base.

I hadn't even considered doing that. I'm not very expert at this sort of thing.

Will keep it in mind. Thanks.

I don't think that Jesus will come back to literally rule. It seems to me that if he was going to rule, then he would have been a part of some political process way back then. Instead, he advocated principals contrary to coercion, which is what literal rulers inherently practice. Regardless, I'll continue watching.

I think that the prophesies teach us that although he was not installed as King in his first advent, he will be King on his second.

Did you know why Jesus chose the Mount of Olives to leave this Earth, and the 2 angels said that He "will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven?" It was because of another ancient prophecy - Zechariah 14v4. Read to the end of that chapter and Jesus as King. Notice also that it is Yahweh who is coming - Yahweh and Jesus are one person.

INCORRECT: Yahweh and Jesus are one person.

Yahweh and Yeshua (Jesus) are clearly two separate beings, just as you and your father are two separate people. See Matthew 24:36 and Luke 18:18-20 as two of many proofs.

There is much confusion and false teaching regarding this, but if you seek it, you will find the truth.

How can the Father sit at the right hand of the Father? How can the Father forsake ( turn away from entirely) himself (Matthew 27:45-46)?

Yahweh and Jesus, are one person, BOX5500, and I gave references to this fact, even from the Old Testament, in my third video.

There is no doubt in my mind, reading these passages of Scripture, that Jesus was and is God, and, because there are numerous scriptures indicating the oneness of God (there is only one God), then Jesus is one with Yahweh.

But I also see your point, because while Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one, they are also 3 persons. That is a mystery.

There is a lot of debate about whether or not the earliest Christians believed in the deity of Christ, but I can't understand those who deny it.

Consider how often Jesus is referred to as "Lord" in the NT. It seems odd that this word was chosen, until you realise that the Greek word used (Kurios) is the same as the word used in the Jewish OT Septuagint as a Greek translation for "Yahweh."

Consider also Thomas' response to Jesus in John 20v28 - he called him, "My Lord and my God."
