    In actuality. You all should really just mind your own business and live your lives and let others live theirs the way they see fit. All this bs about indoctrination is just gaslighting and scapegoating. If you're worried about your kids and indoctrination, then stop taking them to church where there is a higher risk of them being sexually abused. Stop your fear mongering and scapegoating.

    The Bible Clearly State. That JESUS CHRIST Was Sinless And Without Blemish, That Means His Body Was Extremely Whole, Healthy, And fit. Can You Imagine What A Sinless Perfect Body Looks Like? Well It Could NOT Have Looked Like An Average Man Because Everyone Who Was Ever Born Have An Imperfect Body EXCEPT JESUS CHRIST, So I Believe Strongly That When The Bible Says That JESUS Had No Beauty That We Might Be Attracted To Him I Don’t Think It Means He Looked Like The Average Joe, But I Do Think It Means That He Dressed Modest And Blended With Common People Rather Than With Royalty And He Did Not Wear Royal Cloths And He Did Not Prefer To Hang With People With Earthly Power, Prestige, Riches, And Luxury. But A Sinless Man, Who Was Also GOD In The Flesh Must Of Looked Very Impressive Especially In Those Days 2000 Years Ago, Many Times JESUS Just Stood By A Demonic Posessed Man On The Ground Foaming In The Mouth And Just By Standing There, When The Possessed Took One Look At JESUS That Means Looking At Messiah’s Appearance Was Enough To Make The Possessed Man Whole, So JESUS CHRIST MUST OF BEEN PHYSICALLY BEAUTIFUL But NOT In A Worldly “ Beautiful “ Sense.

    The way you describe it, is exactly how morality developed in societies when larger groups, cities and nations developed. I'm a Bible believing Christian but the moral argument for God is simply weak. Don't steal and don't murder are kind of basic rules for any society that should be stable. Also, morality in the Bible is in no way fixed or objective. Quite the opposite. It's constantly developing. In the early texts of the OT, the children and grandchildren, etc. carried the sins of the parents. For example Deuteronomy tells us that illegitimate children cannot be part of the congregation for 10 generations to come. We don't believe that today. Even in the books of the prophets we already see that changing. I believe that it was in fact God who changed. If I can't believe in a God that changes (like before and after the flood for instance) I can't believe in the incarnation either. And what does Jesus teach when it comes to sin and judgment? "with whatever mete you measure, it shall be measured to you." That means - God even follows our subjective judgment about what we want to hold against others. So, morality is neither objective nor an argument for God. God is real and He is love and wants everyone to be saved. Sure, He will also judge us but by our own standards. The Bible isn't a rule book for how to get into heaven.

    My favorite contradiction is in the original ending to the book of Mark: "8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid." VS Matthew who cleaned this up with: "8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples." Pretty important detail to get wrong.

      @@drcdeane Sorry, I didn't get that far in the video, but have watched it now. Your argument seems to be that there probably was a longer ending that eliminated the contradiction, but it just got lost. You are correct in that it is a very simple way to deal with any contradiction - trust us, it used to say what we want. As for, "well it says they didn't tell anyone, but they probably did," the text is very clear, and I wonder if you would be so willing to read your own meaning into other parts like the creation account or global flood.

    • @drcdeane
      @drcdeane 18 дней назад

      Hey ​@charlesbrowniii8398 , no worries. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. It's not a matter of reading a meaning into the text, it is far and away the scholarly consensus that Mark 16:9-20 isn't original. Extant manuscript evidence (eg, Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, other marginal notes re. authenticity), stylistic differences, early church father attestation, all feed into theories of theological motivation for a later scribal addition. And the text is not as clear as you suggest - v. 7 is an instruction to tell the disciples.

      @charlesbrowniii8398 17 дней назад

      @@drcdeane I'm aware the 16:9-20 are not original - that was the point to my initial post where I listed verse 8 as the original ending, but I wasn't clear, so my apologies.. I listened to your explanation again (2:04-2:06), and it still sounds like your main argument is that there was some other original ending that was lost and would have eliminated this contradiction. As I pointed out before, that's a very simple way to deal with any contradiction. I doubt, however, that you would accept that argument from a Muslim scholar defending the Quran. The other argument that the women didn't tell anyone (as they ran from the tomb) but they could have told someone later that day is equally problematic. If the police were writing an account of a witness fleeing a crime scene, they would never emphasize the point that "they said nothing to anyone" when they know the witnesses actually did say something later that day. Your best argument is that the women not telling anyone fits with the context of the book of Mark. I think the simplest and most likely explanation is that the author did want to create a mysterious ending and that he really did mean what he wrote. Unfortunately, though, that doesn't resolve the contradiction.

    The question "Is the Bible contradictory?" is useless. Everything, from my grandmother's pancake recipe to the US Constitution, is contradictory. The right questions might be, "Is the Bible sound enough to understand most of the history of the Jewish people?", "Is the Bible sound enough to serve as a source for personal introspection?", or "Is the Bible sound enough to be the one and only guide for my life and my afterlife?" I don't care whether there are one or two different origin stories in the Bible or any other book. I care for the nuanced and measured use of the information in any book. And if you want to throw away the nuance and declare that any book, religious or secular, contains absolute truth, I pity you. Any non-mathematical book, that is.

If a god wants to send us a non-contradictory message, the first thing he has to do is transmit it somehow other than in a book. In my opinion, the Bible is a very poorly written book, but even if it was a million times better written, it would still be lacking as a transmission method for a god.

    By the age of 14, I had read the Bible, against my will, countless times from Genesis 1:1 to Revelations 22:21 but no new knowledge ever surfaced out. All of my questions only lead to dead ends; 'because God wants it that way'. I couldn't seem to rid myself of this bug called faith. I pressed on and continue to seek the “great truth” in the Bible but the "sacred perfect word" of my "perfect God" contradicted itself exposing more and more of its own imperfection. It contradicts itself on matters of justice, for the same just "Perfect God" who assured me that sons shall not be punished for the sins of their fathers turns around and destroys an entire household for the sin of one man. It was this same "Perfect God" who afflicted thousands of his innocent people with plague and death to punish their evil king David for taking a census (?!). It was this same "Perfect God" who allowed the humans to slaughter his "Perfect Son" because the "Perfect God" had botched his own creation. I began to question more and more, for instance, how many have been stoned, burned, slaughtered, raped, and enslaved because of this "Perfect God’s" skewed sense of justice. But the Bible could not confirm itself in mundane earthly matters and I started to discover that I couldn't trust it on moral and spiritual matters any longer. Amazingly, I had discovered a new, useful and powerful tool called critical thinking that allowed me to re-examine the Bible; which in turn prevented me to continue accepting it as the "true word of God”. By age 25 I had the great opportunity to weigh both sides of the spectrum between religion and science. One year later it became clear to me that faith has only proven to be an intellectual weakness, and a significant barrier to scientific knowledge and moral progress. Faith has proven equivalent to massive hysteria such as crusades, burning times, inquisitions, holy Wars and the list went on. I began to change as my knowledge base grew and felt compelled to make some serious adjustments in my life. I asked myself one day, how can God possibly expect me to view faith as the greatest way to glorify him, let alone demand this of me. The most important point to remember here though, is that if I didn't believe, I would be thrown in a lake of fire to suffer for eternity. This to me began to look like the greatest evil than a lack of the "virtue" of faith, or anything else conceivable. The more I questioned the less I found myself to continue the insanity of giving worship to a God so cruel! It was not until after age 26 that I came to grips with myself, accepting the fact that the idea of a higher power is not probable in light of current scientific data. And concluded that religion is a crack of nonsense used as a tool in order to control weak-minded people who are unable to face reality without a crutch

    • @daTERRORIZER
      @daTERRORIZER 20 дней назад

      I continue to examine the Bible with critical inquiry, an application of my emotions regarding compassion, love, mercy, patience, and justice. But the "God" depicted in the Bible violates my idea of a moral being and thus, undeserving of my worship. Hell, of course is the mother of all of my problems with the bible. It perhaps, paints the most despicable and hideous of all the Christian God’s crimes. Indeed, the cruelest of all concentration camps. (Certainly, far worse than the ones created by the Nazis.). Any true loving being, especially one that proclaims himself to having the very essence of forgiveness, would never condemn his own children to everlasting torment, especially for something as menial as lack of faith. But there it is, described biblically as the “lake of fire”, “the place of eternal torment with weeping and gnashing of teeth” Jesus said in Mark 9:42-48 That it is better to commit suicide or self-maiming than to be delivered unto hell. There are many, many more topics that I find objectionable regarding the bible, such as sexism, infanticide, homophobia, and the likes. But they all violate my morality to worship a hypocritical, judgmental, self-righteous murderer. Yeah, I understand; in punishment, it could send me to the hell it’s made for those it dislikes. But if there were no other choice but worshiping it, I would walk in proudly.

      As a child I used to think about hell and it seemed unfair to me that God would send people there. God seemed like an awful bully. It wasn’t until I got saved that I finally understood that I deserve to go to hell, and that despite me deserving it, God saved me from that fate. For me to really be so ignorant of my own evil doings through my entire life span and act like I’m a saint, would be dishonest and hypocritical of me to say. People like to think god is playing games with us and “testing us” but the truth we’re the ones who do that daily. God has laid it out so simple for us. He gave us his word, his commandments and told us how to live because anything else brings consequences here on earth. All we humans have done is tear each other down with war and betrayal. All he asks is to give glory to him and fallow him so that we won’t live that way. It’s that simple, no games. The reason god seemed like some bully at times is because we humans have always rebelled against him and we still do to this day. Science has also never DISPROVEN god. True Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship with Christ it’s not meant to be churchianity where you only attend a church building. The word church in Greek means “assembly or gathering”, it refers to people of the faith who you connect with coming together, not a building. The Bible is the word of god to equip any person not just “weak minded” to go against the evil of this world that society tries to brain wash us with. It doesn’t matter how many times you read the bible, to the natural man the bible will sound foolish. It’s only until you humble yourself and you are saved that these things will make sense. 1 Corinthians 2:14 & James 4:6

      ​@@BenjiBeats Science does not have the process to prove or disprove the existence of a God or gods. The burden of proof relies strongly on the one claiming of its existence. "God" is endowed by his followers with the following attributes: He is eternal, all-powerful, and created everything. He created all the laws of nature and can change anything by an act of will. He is all-good, all-loving, and perfectly just. He is a personal God who experiences all of the emotions a human does. He is all-knowing. He sees everything past and future. "God is the Alpha and the Omega". Loosely defined, it means the beginning and the end, the all knowing. This of course, implies that all of his actions and the results are fore known to him. On a personal level, I have a real problem with this notion. For if God was to know ahead of time my suffering as a child and then someday he would send me to hell for a simple lack of faith, I ask, what was the purpose in him creating me in the first place? Was it simply to watch me be tortured again and again and then again? According to believers, and based on your thoughts, God's creation was originally perfect, but humans, by disobeying him, brought imperfection into the world. Humans are evil and sinful, and must suffer in this world because of their sinfulness. God gives humans the opportunity to accept forgiveness for their sin, and all who do will be rewarded with eternal bliss in heaven, but while they are on earth, they must suffer for his sake. All humans who choose not to accept this forgiveness must go to hell and be tormented for eternity. Allow me to ask, what did God do during that eternity before he created 'everything'? If God was all that existed in the beginning of time, what disturbed the eternal equilibrium and compelled him to create? Was he bored? Was he lonely? God is supposed to be perfect. If something is perfect, it is complete--it needs nothing else. We humans engage in activities because we are pursuing that elusive perfection, because there is disequilibrium caused by a difference between what we are and what we want to be. If God is perfect, there can be no disequilibrium. There is nothing he needs, nothing he desires, and nothing he must or will do. Why then such a need to be followed and glorified by imperfect humans? A God who is perfect does nothing except exist. Therefore, a perfect God doesn't exist.
