At about 12 mins you mentioned Bible translations but neglected to discuss that there are different meanings for the same word at different times and in different locations. This fact means there is no "purity" of the original text. I'll keep listening until the end because I am a student of critical thinking but at this point I'm not sure Christian and critical thinking should be used in the same sentence.
The Church has always maintained that the original texts, the autographs and not the copies, are without error by virtue of their God-inspired quality. BTW, I'm a Christian who spent most of his undergrad studies in philosophy and that effort has only strengthened my belief in the Gospel.

😂 What’s already funny is RUclips has AI generated translations of Hitlers speeches and of every other historical figure. Go listen and decide for yourself & maybe you’ll be inspired to think critically, OR “….study war no more.”
Sorry, but believing is a god who built a perfect world, that got corrupted (how does something perfect get corrupted?). Then that God had to sacrifice himself to himself to forgiving anyone (because an all powerful god can't forgiving any sin without blood magic). And he did it all to save you from what he is going to do to you. That's not very good critical thinking, it seems to me like Christians have had their eyes shut with a vested interest in a promise of an eternal after life, but sometimes something that is too good to be true is not too good to be true if you have faith. The best part of this video for me was the hypocritical statement "They read things on the internet and believe it." What about things in the Bible? Sorry if I offended you, just go back to your church (the old version of safe spaces).
Have you ever read Jesus' parable about the splinter in the other guys eye? May be an atheist, but I can still read and understand what Jesus said, and follow what he says when it makes sense.
Your argument really doesn't make much sense to me. You're cherry-picking parts of the story of Christianity, and taking them out of context to make them seem absurd without refuting them at all. God did NOT create a perfect world, and he did not create humans as perfect creatures. He gave them free will and the ability to sin so they could achieve greater goods, such as the power to forgive. Jesus (distinct but not separated from The Father), CHOSE to assume human form and endure a horrible death. He did this out of love and perfect empathy for our horrible condition. Also, God does not force us to go to hell, He lets us go to heaven. If I go to hell, it's because I went of my own free will by disobeying God's teachings which are explicit in scripture and my own human nature. If there are any other christians who notice anything wrong with my definition of these doctrines, please say something. I hope this is at least a little educational, maybe next time research the doctrines you're arguing against. I'll be praying for you!
WONDERFUL!
This was an interesting video - you have me thinking much more about what I think and my Biblical Worldview!

Can you give me a reason why you believe that a critical thinker needs to have a Christian worldview, it seems like a nonsequitur to me.
Sorry, but believing is a god who built a perfect world, that got corrupted (how does something perfect get corrupted?).

why are u even here go do something useful
it says "for Christians"
Stuff like that had been answer before by many believers that did there research to explain it ain't nothing knew.
