Christianity is neither evidentially true nor historically true, so you are already being dishonest in your claims, which is what I've come to expect from Christian theists and apologetics. Jesus, the bible, and Christianity are all frauds invented by the Flavian era Roman Empire, and the Roman Catholic church, collectively used to oppress and control the citizens of the Empire through guilt and fear, which is exactly how they are used today. They were a part of the Empire's propaganda campaign to pacify the citizens, to get them to pay their taxes, and to get them to stop uprising and warring against the Empire. There is virtually zero historical evidence for Jesus, and the gospels are all stolen mythologies, and 3rd party hearsay, written decades and up to a thousand years after Jesus supposedly walked, by men who didn't know him, the gospels are all storytelling, not historical accounts, rendering them completely unreliable. The entire bible is just a fictionalized history of the ancient Israelites and has absolutely nothing to do with our modern era, there is nothing in the bible that is scheduled or 'prophesied' to occur within our modern era. Jesus is a fraud, in that he lied at Matt 16:28, and again at Luke 9:27, making him a liar and a false prophet. The Bible itself is filled with multitudes of lies, (both god and Jesus lie throughout it) contradictions, scientific errors, and a plethora of pornographic passages, affirming that men wrote the bible and that a god didn't cause it, as a "perfect god" would have known when figs were in season, (Matt. 21:18-19) A perfect god wouldn't have needed to steal a donkey, (Matt 21:2-3) A perfect god would've known that the seasons are opposite on the southern half of the equator, (Matt 24:20), etc., etc. Christianity, (as are all Abrahamic religions) is deeply rooted in Paganism, rendering it a dangerous, man-made garbage religion. The fact that Christianity grafted itself onto earlier pagan worship was part of the design of the church fathers. Pagan elements were incorporated into the Christian faith on the advice of Pope Gregory the Great, who told Saint Augustine of Canterbury that rather than tear down the pagan temples in Britain, he should instead add existing pagan rituals into the mix of Christian practices, thus providing an easy transition to the new religion. Unfortunately, some of the most basic things believed by most professing Christians derive from ancient paganism rather than from the Bible. The idea that people have immortal souls was first taught in ancient Egypt and Babylon. The Greeks likewise taught that at death the soul would separate from the physical body (Jewish Encyclopedia, 1941, Vol. 6, pp. 564, 566, "Immortality of the Soul"). That idea was merged into Christianity from Greek philosophy. It did not come from inspired Scripture. The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of going to heaven. In their mythology, the god Osiris was killed but then raised back to life, whereupon he went to a distant heavenly realm. The Egyptians concluded that if he could do this, then human beings could follow (Lewis Browne, This Believing World, pp. 83-84). This heavenly reward was a central teaching of several ancient mystery religions-but not the religion of the Hebrews or early Christians. Even some Christian teachings about Jesus have origins in paganism rather than the Biblical record. Babylonian mythology regarding Ishtar claimed that she had a son named Tammuz. He died each year but then would be reborn again in the spring. The Babylonian veneration of both the mother and child influenced later versions of Christianity that deified Jesus' mother Mary as much as Jesus Himself (Sir James Frazer, The Golden Bough, 1993, p. 326). This stands in contrast to Scripture, which honors Mary, but reveres no ordinary human being-only Christ. The Chaldean symbol for Tammuz was the letter tau, which appears as a san-serif "t" and is commonly considered a cross (Babylonian Mystery Religion, p. 51; Vine's, "Cross, Crucify"). While the Bible does indeed teach that Jesus was crucified, there is no record of the shape of the crucifix. At that time, Romans used various forms of upright stakes, some with crossbeams and some without. The Bible does not indicate that the early Church ever used the cross as a religious symbol, but several pagan religions had been doing so for centuries before Christ was born. Contrary to this, the truth is that most of the features of Christianity that people today think of as superior were, in fact, already options in the Roman world. I could go on, and on, and on, and on, but I'll stop here. Read the book, "Caesar's Messiah" to learn the FACTUAL bases for Christianity, Jesus, and the bible, they are all FRAUDS!!!

A hopeful message for all

I love hearing questions that I would not have thought of. Thank you so much for posting this. Sorry, I missed the live broadcast.

Yes!

This sermon should be required listening for any congregation that is contemplating its future-particularly those who are struggling with limited resources.

Bravo to the pianist on the anthem!

“The star has stopped and Jesus is here. He is with you.” This is a wonderful truth for the Epiphany season and beyond.

Tell Jay his prelude was beautiful

We are having Wi-Fi issues and are working on it.

Good morning from Bradenton Florida.

This cuts off before the end. Can you post the entire conversation?

A chalice

Y’all need to hear this❤

Jesus was not a socialist.

These are very encouraging words. I am blessed to begin my week with them.

Why did the algorithm send this ro me? Why? I like cat videos and Led Zepplin.

It is always refreshing to see the humor in the Bible. Of course, an important message is delivered as well.

This was one of the better ones because there was an explanation of so many things that were symbolic, but not intuitive.

I'm sorry I missed the live stream, but I am very glad I was able to watch it on RUclips. Thank you.

Good job Gigi! ❤️

23:19 This explains a great deal about how the bible was put together.

I wonder if Jesus would be a fan of graphic novels?

I missed watching the live stream of church this past Sunday. I'm so glad that they post it on RUclips. Thank you.

Tech problems, Susan. We'll revisit next week! Hope the 10k went super well!!!!

Can you see me online?

I hear you

Just got back from Columbus 10k. Q&A today?

I am so glad you are streaming this now. I can’t listen on Sunday mornings if I go to worship in person.

Thank you for posting this. I missed some of the readings and the sermon.

People ask Mosses for fish and vegetables and they get the Holy Spirit. Sounds like telling a child that they don't know what they really need.

Thank you.
