    As a Muslim, I respectfully disagree that the original sin was racism simply because we can also argue that it is a racism to ask a creature to bow down to another creature. I believe that God the almighty created Adam peace be upon him with a specific characteristics for a specific purpose to do specific tasks which no other creature can do. For example angels can not be khalifs to the creator on earth simply because they are made out of light and they were made in a way that makes them follow instructions only so if they won't be given instructions and orders they don't know where to go or how to do, also Ginn, they can not be khalifs because they are made out of fire, they can damage intentionally or unintentionally anything that feeds the purpose of having khalifs on earth. The idea that racism is the original sin is a bit abrubtly obsurd and honestly I felt it was given in a context of trying to appeal and fit in the western society which assumes they are having a challenging with this concept and I agree. My humble opinion is that arrogance is one of the characters of any devil or any disobedience but racism is being biased and completely unacceptable of another race. And that will mean that Iblis or Ginn were a race and that would be another conflict that simply distracts people from the main conflict we have with devil. The problem is that devil or Iblis wanted to be the best of everything, he wanted to be the best worshipper and then the best disobedient. He can not stand the idea of being the second best so he gave in completely. He could not take the idea of bowing to a creature even if this was an order from the creator whom he worshipped for God knows for how long. God knew he was not sincere about his worshipping and knew all of this would happen so he wanted to expose him to himself and to human race so we can all understand that disobedience is clearly a sign of insincerity with God and that arrogance is a heart sickness that falls behind the disobedience. Here comes the importance of self-accounting, which is better than self-criticism. God does not want us to be self-criticising ourselves, rather, He wants us to hold ourselves accountable for our mistakes. It was so nice listening to your presentation Dr. Fadel.

      Both sides agree that following Jesus and believing He is the Son of God is essential. The difference is in how they see Jesus’ identity. For Trinitarians, it’s also important to believe that Jesus is God. For Non-Trinitarians, simply believing that Jesus is the Son of God and living like Him is enough for salvation. However, both sides would say the main goal is to trust in Jesus and live a life that reflects His teachings.

      While the Bible is the ultimate source of authority for Christian faith, Church Fathers and early Christian writings help us understand the Bible more deeply, provide historical context, and show us how early Christians interpreted Scripture. The Church Fathers didn’t add to the Bible; they helped to explain and defend it. Their work should be seen as complementary to Scripture, not as something outside or contrary to it. Here are one of many reasons. 1. The Bible itself came from Tradition: The Bible as we know it today was compiled and agreed upon by early Christians, many of whom are called the "Church Fathers." The canon of Scripture-the books that are included in the Bible-wasn't fully settled until the 4th century, after significant debate and discussion within the early Church. The same Church Fathers that some dismiss were responsible for preserving, copying, and defending the Scriptures we rely on today. Without their work, it would be difficult to know which books belong in the Bible and which don't. So, in a way, the Bible is a product of early Church tradition. Ignoring the Church Fathers would be like ignoring the very people who safeguarded the Bible for future generations. 2. Understanding the context and history of the Bible is important: The Church Fathers help us understand the historical and cultural context of the Bible. They lived much closer to the time of the apostles and had a better understanding of the ancient world, the early Church, and the original languages of the Scriptures. Their writings help us avoid misinterpretations that come from reading the Bible through a modern lens. For example, terms like "Logos" or "Son of God" had specific meanings in the ancient world, and the Church Fathers wrote extensively to help explain these concepts to their readers. 3. Church Tradition and Scripture work together: The Church Fathers did not see their teachings as being above or outside the Bible, but as helping to preserve and explain it. For centuries, there was no printing press, and most Christians could not read or write. Oral tradition and church teaching were the primary ways people learned about the Bible. The tradition handed down from the apostles through early Christians played a crucial role in preserving the faith. Even the Apostle Paul emphasized the importance of tradition, saying in 2 Thessalonians 2:15: "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." This shows that both the written word and oral teaching had authority in the early Church.

    How come Jesus said His Father is greater then Himself

    • @eyevan8080
      @eyevan8080 23 дня назад

      When Jesus said, "My Father is greater than I" (John 14:28), it can seem at first glance to suggest that the Father is superior to the Son, which raises questions about the nature of Jesus' divinity. Jesus was speaking from the perspective of His humanity. In Christian theology, Jesus is both fully God and fully human (the doctrine of the Incarnation). During His time on earth, Jesus voluntarily took on a humble, human form (Philippians 2:6-8), meaning that while He was still divine, He was living as a man with human limitations. In this sense, Jesus can say the Father is greater because, at that moment, He was living in a state of humility and submission. Philippians 2:6-7 says that Jesus, “though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.” This verse explains that Jesus temporarily set aside His divine privileges to live as a human being. So, when Jesus said the Father is greater, He was likely referring to His earthly position as a servant. He was not saying that the Father is greater in essence or nature but in terms of His role and mission at that time. Jesus was submitting to the Father's will in His human role (John 6:38).

    How come Paul never called Jesus God after His resurrection.

    • @eyevan8080
      @eyevan8080 23 дня назад

      Actually, Paul did refer to Jesus as God in his writings, though perhaps not as often or as directly as some might expect. Romans 9:5 Philippians 2:5-7 Titus 2:13 Colossians 2:9 Not only that, Why Doesn’t Paul Call Jesus ‘God’ All the Time? While Paul does refer to Jesus as God in these passages, he often emphasizes the roles of Jesus as the Messiah, the Savior, and the Lord-rather than repeatedly using the term "God." This is because, in Paul’s letters, there’s a lot of emphasis on what Jesus did (His death and resurrection) and His unique role in the salvation of humanity. Lordship of Jesus: Paul frequently calls Jesus "Lord" (Greek: Kyrios), which in the context of the early Church was a significant term. The Greek word Kyrios was often used in the Greek Old Testament to translate the divine name of God (YHWH). So, when Paul calls Jesus Lord, it’s not just a term of respect; he’s ascribing to Him a title that was used for God Himself.

    Paul always separates God and Jesus.

    • @eyevan8080
      @eyevan8080 23 дня назад

      Yes, Paul often distinguishes between God the Father and Jesus Christ in his letters, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he saw them as entirely separate beings. Rather, he was emphasizing their distinct roles within the relationship between the Father and the Son while also affirming their unity. Paul was writing in the context of Jewish monotheism, which held that there is only one God. He couldn’t simply equate Jesus with the Father in a simplistic way because that would have contradicted the Jewish understanding of God as one. Instead, he needed to articulate how Jesus was divine without compromising the oneness of God. Paul’s writings reflect the early Christian belief in the unity of God while acknowledging the distinction between the Father and the Son. Paul speaks of the Father sending the Son, the Son’s obedience to the Father, and the Son’s exaltation by the Father, but he never suggests that Jesus is not divine. In fact, Paul repeatedly emphasizes that Jesus shares in God’s glory and power. For example, in Colossians 1:19, Paul says, "For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him," meaning that the fullness of God dwells in Jesus. Similarly, in Colossians 2:9, Paul states, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form."

As God, Jesus is eternal and cannot die. 2. As a human, Jesus could experience physical death, just like any other person When Jesus died on the cross, it was His human body that died, not His divine nature. His human nature the body that He took on when He became a man was able to experience suffering, pain, and death. But His divine nature remained unchanged, because God can’t die. @TeachingChurch, Respectfully, you are teaching and preaching stuff that are NOT BIBLICAL.

    The Bible calls Moses God. Is he God? No

    • @eyevan8080
      @eyevan8080 23 дня назад

      Don't cherrypick verses out of context. PLEASE study scripture and christian theology well before you make any assumptions. 1. Exodus 7:1 In this verse, God tells Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.” Context: Here, God is appointing Moses as His representative to Pharaoh. The phrase “like God” means Moses is acting in the authority and power of God, serving as His messenger. It doesn’t imply that Moses is actually God Himself; rather, he’s given a special role to convey God’s will. 2. Moses had a unique role as a mediator between God and the Israelites. He spoke to God and then communicated God’s messages to the people. This role gave him a position of authority, similar to how prophets and leaders were viewed in ancient times 3. Divine Authority vs. Divine Nature When the Bible refers to someone as “God” in certain contexts, it often means they have been given authority or a role that represents God’s will, but that doesn’t mean they share the same divine nature as God. In the case of Moses, he was not divine; he was a human chosen by God for a specific purpose. So, when the Bible calls Moses "God" in Exodus 7:1, it’s emphasizing his role and authority as God’s representative, not that he is divine in the same way as God Himself. This illustrates the idea of representative authority in the Bible without implying equality with God in nature.

      You are arguing your belief which has been debunked and countered by church fathers centuries ago. 1. Titles and Declarations While Paul may not explicitly say "Jesus is God" in a straightforward declaration, he uses titles and descriptions that imply Jesus’ divinity: Romans 9:5: "Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." In this verse, Paul refers to Christ as "over all" and attributes blessings to Him, implying a divine status. 1 Timothy 3:16: "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." Here, Paul speaks of "God was manifest in the flesh," which many interpret as a clear reference to the Incarnation of Jesus. 2. Worship and Divine Attributes Philippians 2:9-11: "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." In this passage, the act of every knee bowing to Jesus is often associated with divine worship, which is reserved for God alone. 3. Unity of the Father and the Son 1 Corinthians 8:6: "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." This verse presents both God the Father and Jesus as central figures, yet implies Jesus’ divine role as "Lord."

    (12 September 2023, 08:00 a.m.) Professor Donald B. Redford, an Egyptologist, has argued that the Bible's Exodus is a myth and never happened as portrayed in Scripture. However, Redford understands there is a historical kernel or event behind the Bible's Exodus. Redford understands that the Hyksos Expulsion from Egypt of circa 1530 BC is what is behind the Bible's fictional Exodus of circa 1446 BC (cf. 1 Kings 6:1 for this date of 1446 BC). (cf. Donald B. Redford. 1992. _Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times._ Princeton University Press. Princeton, New Jersey) Redford (1992:412-413): "Despite the lateness and unreliability of the story in Exodus, no one can deny that the tradition of Israel's coming out of Egypt was one of long standing...There is only one chain of historical events that can accommodate this late tradition, and that is the Hyksos descent and occupation of Egypt...The memory of this major event in the history of the Levant survived not only in Egyptian sources. It would be strange indeed if the West Semitic speaking population of the Palestine, whence the invaders had come in MB IIB, had not also preserved in their folk memory the great moment of (for them) glory. And in fact it is in the Exodus account that we are confronted with the Canaanite version of this event...In sum, therefore, we may state that the memory of the Hyksos expulsion did indeed live on in the folklore of the Canaanite population of the southern Levant..." Redford understands that the Exodus account is of the Exilic or Post Exilic age, the 6th or 5th century BC: (page 418): "...Moses, in all his roles, is late, either Exilic or post-Exilic...it is literary artifice, not history..."

Praying that God enlightens Bart Ehrman so he can see that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

    I don't get this tactic of saying: "Would you believe I had a pet dragon if there were 500 witnesses?" It would significantly raise my credence, but not enough to overcome the prior, which is very low. If a sufficient cumulative case could be made though, eventually the prior could be overcome. For example, if a significant portion of the scholarly and philosophical community thought that some people had pet dragons, if there were numerous other, similar instances where testimony and other written records purport to record pet dragons, if I knew of various philosophical arguments that raised my credence in the existence of pet dragons, etc. I really want to be charitable, but it seems sometimes that counterapologists don't adequately understand cumulative cases or bayes' theorem or evidentialism. Just because one piece of evidence taken on its own doesn't overcome a prior, that doesn't mean that this evidence is worthless, as Doug seems to imply (If this isn't what he is implying, it's hard for me to see what he is). They forego terms like "prior probability" and "weak/strong evidence" for vague, unhelpful terms like, "big claim" and, "good/bad evidence." Maybe I am misinterpreting the point Doug is trying to bring to light. If anyone can correct me please do

      I really want to be charitable, but it seems to me that if your parents had raised you to believe that dragons exist and you heard that there are 500 witnesses that someone has a pet dragon you would believe it.

      @@daman7387 Indeed... *Judgments About Fact and Fiction by Children From Religious and Nonreligious Backgrounds* _In two studies, 5- and 6-year-old children were questioned about the status of the protagonist embedded in three different types of stories. In realistic stories that only included ordinary events, all children, irrespective of family background and schooling, claimed that the protagonist was a real person. In religious stories that included ordinarily impossible events brought about by divine intervention, claims about the status of the protagonist varied sharply with exposure to religion. Children who went to church or were enrolled in a parochial school, or both, judged the protagonist in religious stories to be a real person, whereas secular children with no such exposure to religion judged the protagonist in religious stories to be fictional. Children’s upbringing was also related to their judgment about the protagonist in fantastical stories that included ordinarily impossible events whether brought about by magic (Study 1) or without reference to magic (Study 2). Secular children were more likely than religious children to judge the protagonist in such fantastical stories to be fictional. The results suggest that exposure to religious ideas has a powerful impact on children’s differentiation between reality and fiction, not just for religious stories but also for fantastical stories._

    Counterapologists like Doug get so much mileage out of this idea of "big" claims vs "small" claims. The only way I can make sense of what that means is in terms of priors, like Lydia did. But when you substitute, "claims with low priors," for "big claims," suddenly these things Doug says don't make much sense as objections.

    I’m always amazed at how trinitarians will do anything to complicate the simplest and most straightforward of bible truths. The argument that pre christian jews were binarian or trinitarian is a flawed. argument. Why? Because the law emphatically was to worship One God (Yahweh) and no other. He is a “jealous God, who wants exclusive devotion. TRUE jews/Israelites following the law absolutely did not worship multiple Gods. As a whole the OT explicitly shows they did however not following the law and took on gods from egypt (triune), Babylon, which they again as a whole were punished severely for. By the time of Jesus they were doing all kinds of abominations. Even that trinitarianism has taken root by a majority shouldn’t be surprising as Yahweh himself called them a stubborn, stiff necked people with no understanding. Like always there are a small minority who held true to that old law covenant for Israelites and jews and today a small amount of Christians who realize the truth that Jesus the Messiah and Son of God taught and tried to explain. Mainstream christianity trinitarians are doing exactly what disobedient Israel did. Idolatry (most of them completely aware however as even the leaders have been misled from early christian post apostle “fathers” and “creeds”. An amazing slight of hand by the devil if I may say so.

      And how does trinitarianism complicate the bible? 1. Strict Monotheism in Judaism Historical Complexity: While it’s true that the Shema emphasizes the oneness of God, the historical context shows that Jewish thought was not monolithic. There were various interpretations of God's nature and identity. For example, some passages in the Old Testament suggest the presence of a divine council (Psalm 82) or speak of the "Angel of the Lord," which some interpret as a pre-incarnate Christ or a manifestation of God. The Nature of God: The concept of God in the Hebrew Bible does not strictly adhere to a singularly simplistic view. For example, the "Wisdom" literature often personifies Wisdom as being with God and through whom the world was created (Proverbs 8). While these do not equate to the Trinity, they suggest a more complex understanding of God's manifestations. 2. The Development of Trinitarian Doctrine Early Church Fathers and Creeds: The development of the Trinity was not merely a result of pagan influence but emerged from the early church's attempts to understand the nature of Christ in relation to God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Early Christians were grappling with the implications of Jesus’ teachings, His resurrection, and the experience of the Holy Spirit among believers. Scriptural Basis for the Trinity: Although the word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, proponents argue that the concept is present throughout the New Testament. Passages such as Matthew 28:19, where Jesus commands baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are viewed as evidence of a triune nature. This suggests that the early church did not merely fabricate doctrine but was attempting to articulate an understanding of divine revelation consistent with their experiences and teachings. 3. The Relationship Between Jesus and God Paul's Theology: While Paul emphasizes the distinction between God the Father and Jesus, he also speaks of their unity. In Philippians 2:6-7, he notes that Jesus, though in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to cling to. This implies that Paul recognizes a shared divine nature while also maintaining a relational distinction. The Role of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is also portrayed as having a significant role in the life of believers and the church. In John 14:26, Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit as a Comforter, suggesting that the Spirit is an integral part of the divine presence in the world. 4. Idolatry and Misleading Leadership Historical Misunderstandings: While it is true that some church leaders have misinterpreted or misrepresented biblical teachings, it does not invalidate the core Christian belief in the Trinity. Many faithful Christians interpret the doctrine of the Trinity as an attempt to honor the complexities of God’s revelation through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The Call to Holiness: Mainstream Christianity often emphasizes the call to holiness and a relationship with God rather than strict adherence to the letter of the law. This reflects the teachings of Jesus, who focused on the spirit of the law, including love and grace, rather than solely on external observance.

    I'm writing down notes, and posting them, as they might be useful to someone else too Habits without numbers: preference for complex over simple theories "followed a tradition" when it could easily be an eyewitness directly recording what they were there to see everything is a redaction everything is static. people don't move around, people don't leave or join groups, things don't take place over a period of time projecting postmodernism on the ancients: "the ancients didn't care about facts, they cared about stories, which are more truly true than truth". that's not true of the ancients, but it is true of postmoderns. "I guess if this is something we do in the discipline, it must be okay" ultimately, it seems like they're treating the texts as if they were merely texts, and the only operations on texts were to (A) make stuff up or (B) change stuff that someone else made up. they don't want them to have a connection to reality. Habit 1: failure to make crucial distinctions - using two distinct meanings for "telescoping" or "compression" --telescoping 1: "the guy version" --telescoping 2: changing facts in a misleading way - using two distinct meanings for "non-chronological order" --achronological: usually uses "and" to indicate that both things happened, without saying which was first --dyschronological: lying about when something happened - using two senses of "ipsissima vox" (the very voice) --ipsissima vox 1: recognizable paraphrase --ipsissima vox 2: changing words unrecognizably, like from "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" to "I thirst" Habit 2: failure to recognize when a variation is just a variation - not everything is redaction, sometimes people just remember or word things a little differently - trying to fix a problem that isn't there, because there's no discrepancy to resolve Habit 3: arguments from silence Habit 4: ignoring the possibility of independent access to events Habit 5: overreading Habit 6: redefining reliability to make it less significant - if you think something is reliable, you would naturally try harmonizing with something else reliable Tips to avoid these bad habits: Tip 1: recognize these errors Tip 2: always read the text yourself - don't believe them if they make claims about the text until you've read it yourself and you see they're not wrong Tip 3: check everything out yourself - don't think you need a credential to understand things - only arguments and evidence matter. facts and logic. if they don't have that, it doesn't matter what else they have Tip 4: harmonization is not religious - historically reliable sources harmonize. they fit together like reality fits together, because they're reflections of reality. apparent discrepancies that harmonize are evidence of reliability, not unreliability. Tip 5: reinstate the notion of casual variation - variation is normal. when there are multiple witnesses, there are variations in the details that catch the eye of each. Tip 6: read old books - C. S. Lewis quote: "Every age has its own outlook; it is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books. All contemporary writers share, to some extent, the contemporary outlook. Even those, like myself, who seem most opposed to it. Nothing strikes me more when I read the controversies of past ages, than the fact that both sides were usually assuming, without question, a good deal which we should now absolutely deny. They thought they were as completely opposed as two sides could be, but in fact, they were all the time secretly united, united with each other, and against earlier and later ages by a great mass of common assumptions. We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the 20th century, the blindness about which posterity will ask, "But how could they have thought that?", lies where we have never suspected it, and concerns something about which there is untroubled agreement between Hitler and President Roosevelt, or between Mr. H. G. Wells and Karl Barth. None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. Where they are true, they will give us truths that we half knew already, where they are false, they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill. The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books. Not, of course, that there is any magic about the past; people were no cleverer then than they are now. They made as many mistakes as we. But not the same mistakes. They will not flatter us in the errors we are already committing. And their own errors, being now open and palpable, will not endanger us. Two heads are better than one, not because either are infallible, but because they are unlikely to go wrong in the same direction. To be sure, the books of the future would be just as good a corrective as the books of the past, but unfortunately, we cannot get at them." Unnumbered tips: scholars don't seem to stop and ask themselves if they're being consistent some scholars take "midrash" to mean the wholesale fabrication of events that never occurred, which is not what midrash actually is

    The Bible book is 'a book' hahah!... and that is the total extent of your evidence to prove your god? The Bible is Fiction..! a Historical novel - ie a Fictional story using Historical events and peoples: This 'Bable' book is backed up by absolutely no facts and no evidence for gods...! It is a 'historical Novel', It is not proof for any god(s) Historical novel: The fables are intertwined within historical places and people.... eg Egypt and the Pharaohs existed, whereas Moses did NOT exist, and the Exodus did not happen... ! A 'global' flood never occurred on Earth! That David/Solomon are fables...! Jonah swallowed by a fish.....! 'Burning bush'? Those 'fasting' shamans were hallucinating, and usually on the local drugs...
