I (on a different account) have a new channel. For the time being, christmas music performed with some weird whistle method. Christmas music, so it is slightly related :- ) I still don't spam it here. That would be rude. Let me know if I can mention it with the actual channel name in your comments. merry christmas
Always interesting, informative and entertaining. If there really were a Lord you, sir, would be doing his work. Christianity was invented as a man-made instrument of oppression whose stories were specifically designed to awe "the rabble" (as Eusebius et al. called their target demographic). Although there are many kind, compassionate and sincere Christians out there, those men and women who use the Bible as a weapon to justify greed, hate, oppression, persecution are a cancer on society.
If it wasn’t for this channel and a few others I would probably still be deep in my old beliefs. I am so grateful I don’t have to live like that any more, I was trapped.
@@josepha9045 even if i assume that's true, a book being internally consistent is not impressive and in no way proves the existence of a god. When it comes down to it, Islam uses the exact same flawed arguments, logic and bad evidence in an attempt to demonstrate the existence of a god...
And it's not even close to parallel with the greatest works. Most of the Christians I know do their best to avoid coming into contact with excellent literature. C.S. Lewis is their idea of 'as good as it gets'.

@@ladyselenafelicitywhite1596 I dealt with an individual some years back who called me out on refuting the "contradictions" in the Bible. I did. He hasn't talked to me since.
Being an inerrantist, which is having those high standards for the Bible, being that it supposedly came from a perfect god is what led me away. It's either 100% true and accurate or 0. So naturally, when my confidence fell to 99 because of the contradictions, failed prophecies, etc, my confidence fell to 0.
It doesn't have to be that way. It did for me too, but I know of christians that have found a more spiritual way to interpret and live by the bible. And I applaud them for being able to.
@@DutchJoan if the bible is the word of "God", it can't have mistakes. Why should i waste my life for a religion that contains clear mistakes ? I applause for everyone who sees that and leaves Xtianity
@@richman8082 Well, that's the literal approach, when you see the bible as one coherent book instead of a compilation of novels, short texts and epistles from different authors and of different genres. I see the bible more as a book of storytelling and the human attempts to seek deeper meaning and elevate everyday living. I don't believe in gods and goddesses anymore, but I find the human story fascinating. I don't find it a waste of time to study the texts and learn more about the motivations of the authors and the literary styles they used to tell their stories.
It was a slow burn for me. Even in elementary school, my parents told me not to take certain things in the bible literally, such as the 6 day creation. By middle school, I learned to ignore the church's complaints about evolution because they were obviously ignorant of the facts. By high school, and I figured my particular denomination had to wrong, and if I was going to continue to believe, I needed to craft my own theology. I took several bible courses in college (it was a Christian university) and I realized the bible was wrong about a lot of things. Then I staked everything on morality; if there was an adequate secular explanation for morality, then I would stop believing. I took an ethics class, and that was it.
I actually watch your content as a believer. That will not change, and nor do I condemn you for your journey as well. I do want to say thank you for challenging me in areas I never thought about, for exploring and opening my mind to things I never really noticed. I did not grow up in it, as you did. This is simply where my path lead me. I check your content as points of self reflection and see how the church body as a whole conducts itself and hope to educate, to correct, and to help my immediate church community be an active force of good instead of what the whole “body” has become. Though we may have different beliefs, I have the upmost respect for you and look forward to your content to challenge me.
I feel the exact same way about Santa Clause, if it was good enough to believe as a child the spirit of Christmas the season of giving is something I try and get my entire community to follow on a year round bases. Be happy and jolly not just in December, but all year long. We would all be better for it.
I remember as a kid in church always being confused as to why the pastor would read half of a story about Jesus from "Luke" and then the other half from "John". Or some other combination. Never just straight through all in one gospel. It was always "here is the first part of the story" followed by "and now we turn to John and...". The fact that the gospels all were supposed to cover the same events (Jesus's life start to finish) was never really made clear to me either for a long time. I feel it was a conscious decision because they knew letting people in on the secrete that each one was sometimes WILDLY different and contradictory would give the game away before i was fully indoctrinated.
@SCHOLARvid Probably never talked about in the full context. Its like how for Easter they would never read all the accounts, showcasing that they are different. They would probably pick whichever one they personally liked best, or best flowed into the sermon they wanted to preach. And anytime you did have a question, you were always told whatever was the quickest and easiest way to get you to be complaisant, truth and honesty be damned. Like if you asked "did the flood really happen?" Instead of getting an honest answer about actual history and varying takes on its authenticity or its usage as either literal history or allegory... you were told "yes and they actually found the Ark as well" and that was it. And being 9 or so that was enough.
The scariest part is the level of double think these people possess. At the same time completely aware of the discrepancies and also in complete denial of them...
Compare the versions of the "resurrection" - different days, different times of day, different witnesses, different numbers of "angels", different women. You'd think they could've at least got their story straight but it's because the original Bible didn't include a resurrection narrative - as we see with the Sinaiticus they kept adding random bits and pieces so it looks like different people added their own fabricated and conflicting resurrection narratives probably about the time they changed the sharpened stake to a cross. And they had to invent the resurrection or how could Paul meet Jesus? Then Christians wouldn't have known they didn't have to do all the Jewish stuff in the OT
@@SimpleLasagna lol, that's just a cute Christian apologetics way of saying it's circular reasoning. Guess what.... Muslims say the same about the Quran. And Mormons about The Book of Mormon. And Hindus about the Vedas lol.
What turned off from the Bible for good was an incedent in the Old Testament where a certain man promised God that if God gave him victory in war he would sacrifice the first thing he saw when he arrived home. The first thing he saw was his daughter a mere child how perverse is that a God being OK with child sacrifice
Yes, it's another of the horrid tales that were selectively left out from the approved tales of the bible. It was of Jephthah and the events that occurred as you mentioned. The story basically has to be left out because god is told as being: 1) Omnipotent - all-powerful without limits, 2) Omnipresent - at all times everywhere, and 3) Omniscient - all-knowing of the past, present, and future. So if that's the case how & why did he allow Jephthah to make such an offering if he already knew what was going to happen., why didn't he make a chicken fly out or a dog come to greet him instead.

0:26 The issue with who spiced Jesus' body isn't a contradiction so much as it is a blatant error/sign of gospel embellishment. In ancient Jewish burial customs, spices are added to the body so that the people preparing the body and mourners don't have to smell the rotting corpse. Why would they add spices to a corpse that has already been buried for three days? There is no one around to be bothered by the odour. Bodies didn't NEED to be "anointed" with spices for any kind of religious cleansing. It makes no sense why the women would do this once the body is already locked away. Whoever wrote the gospel of Mark wasn't fully aware of Jewish burial customs. The women coming to spice Jesus' body is a plot device used to get witnesses to the empty tomb. It's actually a really good argument against the historicity of the empty tomb.
I read in David Fitzgerald’s book Nailed that the description of Jesus’s trial isn’t the way trials were held in those days. The writers clearly weren’t too familiar with the so-called holy land and its customs.
Another flaw was the round tomb stone, they didn't come into use until the 2nd century CE. When Jesus was supposed to have been buried his tombstone would haven't been round.
Thomas my man, if Christians really took the Bible seriously and read it like a proper document like a Deed/Contract/report etc they'd be called atheist.
True - the vast majority of Christians, especially American Evangelicals are "Cafeteria Christians" at best. Firstly, they are unfamiliar with 90% of their magic book, but of the small portion that they are familiar with, they pick the bits they like and ignore the bits they don't. God works in mysterious ways don't you know.
@@1970Phoenix Christians do not put that much emphasis on the Old Testament and HaShem. OT/Tanakh is Old Covenant where as Jeesus made this new Covenant by dying in the cross. But they should change their name from Christians to Paulinians because Paul is much more important to them than Jeesus.

@@johndoney2665 those are great sentiments, unfortunately most "Christians" do not live by them. Most "Christians" I have met are the most judgemental, petty, and exclusionary people I've ever met. Further you do not have to be a "Christian" or even be religious to live by those tenants of just being a good kind person. Full disclosure I was raised Catholic but have since rejected Catholicism.
The Gospels are not meant to be an error free, seamless account of what happened. They were also written for different reasons. Matthew was written with a focus on Jews. Mark focused on Gentiles. If you would like more examples of the different purposes for the 4 Gospels I’d be glad to give some. The Gospels arnt history books meant to be cross referenced. Any well studied Christian would know this. They have deep meaning and the differences in each are intended for a different reason.
@@marcelkuizenga If you were a sincere person you would be persuaded to call on the name of Jesus to see if He might answer you [ He makes house calls for authentic supplicants you know]
What Christians won't admit is that they aren't really Christians because they love God, they're Christians because they're afraid of burning forever. That's always their argument for non-believers or people from different religions. That just shows that Christianity is a religion that is built upon blackmail and fear but is wrapped around a blanket of false love.
You fool! Where did you find this information? To clarify, it is the fear of God that keeps us in belief. It even says that in the scriptures. You can’t just assume that all Christians are the same. The truth is that no one is perfect in knowledge or obedience except Jesus. There are people who claim that they are Christians but they have no knowledge. There’s no blackmail if you truly come to learn the word. In conclusion, don’t let what others say build the walls of what a Christian is. Only read what it says in the Bible to truly know what it means to be Christian. In reality, it is your choice whether you believe or not. If someone says that you’re going to “hell” if you don’t believe in God, they are obliviously steal God’s right of say to where someone goes in their afterlife. Use this knowledge, but only if the bible proves of it.
This comment doesn't really makes much sense since you can't get inside the mind of every christian and there are different philosophies of loving God, a good amount of them being based not on fear, but love. I say that because as a traditionalist, i see a lot of people loving God, purely, without knowing the laws properly, which is not what i usually do, as i'm deep in understandign the laws of what is sin and what is not...
Even in my adolescence I could never wrap my head around Jesus being a direct descendant of David if he wasn’t “biologically” from Joseph. Of course it’s clear now how many inconsistencies there truly are, but I’m surprised this isn’t questioned more. (But should I be?)
Both Mary and Joseph were descendants of David so it really matters NOT. Mother's lines are never recorded because it's assumed they are without doubt since God is particularly harsh about that ! It is the mother who makes someone part of Gods people or NOT. It was Josephs line which needed to be listed and proven
The thing that most people miss is that both Joseph, [his line was cursed in Jeconiah] But Mary was also from the line of King David, and came to be the lynch pin of the prank that GOD played on Satan for through the kinsman redeemer GOD had a pure line back to King David
The other crazy thing about the Jesus lineage is that the Jewish traditions track lineage y through the mother not the father. It’s literally a matriarchal lineage. So tracking back to David through Joseph outside of Jesus being a step son in the realtors wouldn’t be hope that was tracked
It's because they invented the Jesus character using a checklist of old prophecies so they could say he was the "Mashiah" - but by trying to make him fulfil two prophecies they made him fulfil neither. They made Joseph a descendant of David except Jewish kinship was.matrilineal plus the virgin birth idiocy says Joseph wasn't his father anyway. The whole "virgin birth" thing proves that the NT was fabricated by Greek speakers who weren't Jewish, and they used the Greek Septuagint as their source.
@Alias Fakename indeed!!! I was pointing out Judaism for the specifics of tracing Jesus’ lineage but it’s why patriarchy is so toxic because it’s been forced into cultures where it doesn’t belong! Including it’s own. Hell the patriarchal properties come from Greece and the replacement of its first major religion with the chthonic gods in equal step with their female partners (such as Persephone and Hades and why their the least toxic pairing in the pantheon) literally the Olympians defeating the titans was to winning of patriarchy over a fairer egalitarian leaning matriarchal social norm before it. Then the Bible is translated by the Greeks and adopted by the romans who further deminish the feminine from the Devine and replace the cultures of almost all of Europe
Hey, small note. Jews track Judaism status through the matriarchal line, and tribal / property/ role status through the father. It doesn't matter, because Jesus was born of a 'virgin'
These videos have been blowing my mind. I've been an atheist for the last 5 years or so, and haven't picked up a Bible in almost a decade. I cannot believe how many blatant, obvious contradictions there are that I never noticed growing up. I grew up in a Gospel Hall church too, so I heard the gospels read on a weekly basis. I guess they intentionally downplay or skip over these errors so that people won't notice; I sure didn't.
I used to be a KJV onlyist. One of the things that pushed me away is the fact that they promote the KJV and they invariably say it’s the KJV 1611. However they carry and use the 1769 version. When asked about why there would be an update from the 1611 the answer is “to fix minor punctuation errors”. So of course I would say “Joys and tittles? So the 1611 wasn’t completely perfect and had to be fixed?“. I would the be poo-pood and told I was being rediculous, or even worse that the devil was trying to manipulate me. In the end I decided reality was a thing and being a psychopath doesn’t change that fact.
@@alexmuenster2102 You have no idea what you are talking about first of all. The KJV was good for its time, but as more study shows its inconsistancy was with not translating correct hebrew phrases with its context, with english. example" pss 51. Clean and Pure are NOT the same! "טָהֵר (ṭāhēr) Definition: to be clean or pure" but if you understood hebrew pure implies thats it's 100% pure, not clean, as you can any do so much get close to 98%. HENCE why we need to update these things. But by understanding this, it doesn't take away anything from the bible; My question to you is why do you spend DAY and NIGHT searing your conscience? You really don't wish to believe? God waits, but there is a time where He gave you a fair chance. and like he did for Pharaoh, a heart so hard YOU WILL BELIEVE THE LIE!
The genealogies should be a huge red flag for any believer, if the writers of Matthew and Luke can't get something that simple right, why should we trust any of it if they can't get the small details right, was this not inspired/written/guided by the master of the universe. Even in their new testament Luke 16:10 says: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Maybe I'm wrong quoting this verse, but I feel like it's relevant.
Reading the gospels straight through for a history course after having spent 3 years reading and analyzing other historical documents demolished my remaining faith. The truth did indeed set me free lol.
John 15:12-17 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other” "Love each another". After speaking of love, Jesus deals with the hatred of those who reject the Word of God and who reject his disciples. He foretells that the world will hate and persecute Christians just as it hated and persecuted Himself. The world will be hostile to Jesus and consequently it will also hate those who live in his teaching. Jesus therefore gives another teaching: the tribulations and persecutions to which they will be subject must not frighten them since they, strong in their faith, know that Christ, who has conquered the world, is in them. Jesus' friends are not left alone in persecutions and painful circumstances: they must know that the Defender will be beside them, the Spirit of truth who gave witness to Jesus, will also give it to them. But even the disciples living the very life of Christ will be an uninterrupted witness of his works. In fact, the Spirit, sent by the Father through the Son, will be the "soul" of the Church. Jesus said: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. A Holy Catholic, Apostolic Church

How do you feel about the fact that JESUS died to pay for your sin, was in the tomb for three nights, and three days, rose from the dead, and now has all authority in Heaven and on the Earth?

I was still a big believer in my first year at uni, so I took biblical (koine) Greek. I found the discrepancy in the generational history of Joseph and asked our lecturer about it. He answered by saying that they believe that Mary was somehow related to David. Besides that, the first thing they tell you in your first class is that a lot of the figurative language has been lost, so they have to make educated guesses as to which expressions get to be translated literally. This is what led me to deconvert.
Yes, jewish lineage is passed on by the mother, they inherit titles/property/etc from the father. So this checks out. Also to counter the whole "there's more generations between x date and y date on this side than there are on that side" argument. I'll just say...In modern times, we have teen moms, and we have women who have children in their 30s. It's not too far fetched to say they weren't coordinating their pregnancies or anything, so odds are, if you're just tracing the lineage, the chance of having more generations on one side is high.
“Educated guesses” is funny because it’s still a guess lol. Either the Bible is 100% correct or it’s 0. It’s supposedly the perfect book from God but if it even has 1 contradiction (true contradiction not a misunderstanding) then it’s wrong. I was a believer for 4 years and just a couple of months ago I started questioning things and now I’m agnostic..I’m talking to my pastor this Sunday about what I believe in now and I can no longer go to church y’all wish me luck or “pray for me”
@@jayyrealfunny2126 At least you seem to know the correlation between wishing someone luck and praying for them. They're both putting faith into something that can't be proven true or false. I used to be atheist, then agnostic, and now I'm leaning more towards belief on some level. But not in the way that some 'born again christian' might.

I remember wondering about the Peter denial thing as a kid. I wanted to know why the stories were so different. My pastor/dad couldn't give me an answer.
If the gospels were written by an all-powerful, all-knowing being, there would be no contradictions. If they were written by various men after decades of playing the telephone game, you would get exactly what we have.

That we, at this point in human history, are still arguing about this idiotic story book written by idiots and used by men to control other men , is really the sad part.
Back in my church days we were actually told that the bible does in fact, not contain any inconsistencies at all. It was even used as an argument that therefore the bible must be true. It also meant, after being made to feel like a right fool when people did point out inconsistencies, that I had to question the entire validity of the bible. It is also indicative of how shallow bible study was at my church, that they could get away with statements like that without anyone noticing...
Clearly there are differences between stories in the bible but this would not have been intentional and the core point of the stories are consistent. I'm sorry that you were treated like that. It's always important to know the truth
The story says Jesus claimed that “every jot and tittle” of the Jewish Torah was inerrant. Nothing at all is said of the Bible in the Bible because the Bible is an Omnibus, “a volume containing several novels or other items previously published separately.”
Exactly. Jesus couldn't be talking about ANY of the NT including the gospels, because it wasn't written yet. And the Torah was contradicted by Jesus in regards to the Pharisees and one of the most famous examples was the "eye for an eye vs turn the other cheek" contradiction of the Mosaic law.
I like the idea a character in Foucault's Pendulum (by Umberto Eco) thinks about: some time around 50AD or so some people came together and did a storytelling contest: they create a guy, agree upon some essential plot lines and the rest everybody can develop for themselves to see who does it best. The problem: the stories land in the hands of friends who like them, tell them their friends who know nothing about the contest but write them down/copy them for their friends. start believing in them, ... - and when the original authors notice what happens it's too late: Paul already had his vision, the romans start checking this strange new cult, other authors write their own stories in this shared universe, ... Sure, that's surely not what really happend, but it's a nice theory 🙂 - and would explain some new testament contradictions
That's the thing, there's nothing wrong if it was something like this. Jesus as a rebel liverator for the Jews, whether fsctual or fiction or both. The problem is all the imbelishing into divinity and fate and heaven and hell and bastardizing Judaism as well as the Greek beliefs Christianity came from. They take very true things about humanity and possibly even some real events but then force it into being more than it needs to be.
Question from a life long atheist, if the mark matthew and john books tell the same story but differently, why do they continue to use them all? Like wouldn't it clear up a lot of these problems if they just narrowed it down to just one?
Because Christian pastors and apologists will justify the differences by comparing the Gospels to a car accident. Four people can witness the same accident but their accounts may differ based on different points of view. Christians are just taught to harmonize the Gospels no matter the discrepencies.

@@mattpowell6291 I'm disinclined to believe your suggestion I don't understand the word, after your demonstration that you do not. But just in case I took a moment to double check.

You know, like claiming a child is of the lineage of a his mother's partner, while also claiming it's not his child. Unless again you want to invoke the same line I mentioned, that for some reason its meant symbolically, or you care to explain how an individual can be both a blood relation, and not a blood relation at the same time. Those two things would seem to be contradictory.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is True. The Hebrews wrote in Hebrew, the romans wrote in greek. The so-called modern scholars, like to say Mark was written first and that “Matthew” copied from “Mark” Because it is the least flattering. Under this assumption the least accurate or most degraded document would be called first/original. If “Matthew Copied from “Mark”, then did Messiah really say, in Mark 16: 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover? If so why didn’t Matthew mention it? He didn’t believe it? He didn’t think it was important? No, Mark was written by a roman, copying from “Matthew” in roman; to destroy the message of The Messiah, by linking it with spauls’ blasphemous greek gospel to the greeks. In Matthew and Luke the genealogies are a contradiction. Matthew said the woman held Him by the feet and worshipped Him. Luke says that Jesus said, don't touch me for I have not yet ascended to My Father. Spaul contradicts all the other 40 Inspired Hebrew Books including “Matthew”. Old Testament so called "contradictions" or copy errors are few and can be easily explained with proper translation. In the "New Testament" (Hebrew/greek), there are many irreconcilable differences. Because only Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. "Matthew" was written anomalously/untitled. It is The Testament of Messiah the last Inspired book. The roman/greek books that fallow are full of roman lies, propaganda and contradictions; so the gentiles wouldn't become Jews in Jesus and obey The Law. HalaluYah Brothers and Sisters!!!

Nicodemus brings a roll of myrrh and aloes for the burial. The women who went to Jesus’ tomb on the third day to grease his body was done because of the hurried circumstances under which Jesus was buried and hence with the purpose of doing a more complete work as a means of preserving the body for a longer period.
I've never understood the "fulfilled the law" thing. How do you fulfill a law? Where in the old testament does it say these laws are only in effect until the messiah comes? And maybe more importantly, how can the law change when Jesus says the law will not change until the world is destroyed? Last I checked, the world still exists.
I'm not able to address that very well, but Paul had said that the Law was fulfilled in Yeshua's death and resurrection, we therefore do not need the Law. But Yeshua's brother James (that makes literalist Catholics mad) said we still have to follow the Law. And that "good works" are the faithful following of the Law, not good deeds as Christians are taught.
I interpret fulfilling the law as finishing out the morality and laws paved out in the old testament, especially considering that he emphasizes "I come to fulfill it, not abolish it" another verse says "follow the law of the land" which in the context of the line would have been the Jewish law of the old testament, the notion that Jesus' resurrection made it so old testament laws are invalid is a misconception most likely conjured by Christians who could no longer explain away the horrible morals contained within it
@@juiceoverflow two things don't make sense to me with that interpretation. "Fulfill, not abolish", and yet most Christians treat the laws as abolished. And second, Jesus says not a letter of the law will change until heaven and earth are destroyed. I don't know about heaven, but earth hasn't been destroyed.
@@alexmcd378 well I'll tell you why that happens, because 99% of Christians have never opened up the Bible and just know what cherry picked sections and rewritten narratives were drilled into them by their pastor or parents
Jesus fulfilled the Law by keeping to it perfectly. He neither disobeyed its commandments nor declared any part of it not binding upon the Israelites. Once fulfilled when he died, that Law was no longer binding on God’s people.
Haha this is great! Not as funny as Stampy's Bible Quiz lol ;) , but the information is different and interesting! Also, if most of Europe are descendents of Charlemange and he lived 1200 years ago. Then it would be an informed guess that nearly anyone in ancient Israel around the time of Jebus, was also descendent of King David. I too often wondered about why they used Joseph's lineage when Joseph wasn't actually Jebus' father. Thanks for addressing that:):) Bible facts are whack!
Gee why would they use Joseph's lineage even though he wasn't 'actually' Jesus's father it's almost like if you had made a cursory effort to actually read the Holy Bible you would know.
Ok ok, Joseph was a descendant of David but Joseph is not Jesus biological father, god is right? Joseph is just like Jesus’ stepdad. Therefore jesus is not a descendant of David. Therefore, I call bs. This is so blatantly obvious, how can’t christians see it?

Let me pop your bubble , it's the mother who decides if someone is even an Israelite or not, the society is matrilineal . Mary's line wasn't listed because that is the core which builds isreali society! It is the male line which has to be proven and listed and continuously monitored. Joseph being a descendant of David wouldn't even matter if Mary wasn't a descendant of David That's just how Israeli society works Therefore your argument is quite pointless

You might be surprised to know that I am a believer in God but really like your channel. I was in mainstream Christianity for 38 years. It never really felt right but because I believed in God I thought something must have been wrong with me so I tried to ignore it. I would walk away several times in my life but eventually try again. Several years ago I had given up again and wasn't looking to seek anymore. Then about a year ago I found myself coming home from work at night and turning on RUclips on my big screen TV and trying to find something that seemed to be right. I would drink my coffee as I went from one crazy so called Christian teaching video after another. After several nights and maybe a hundred or so of these videos I found one that right away was different. It was a channel ran by a husband and wife who were Iranian ex Muslims! My mind was blown!!! I thought what is this?! All the crap I had learned from 38 years of religious lies were trying to fight against it. But it was as if my heart was reaching outside my body and trying to grab the words that were in the air! Lie after lie was washed away each night. You mentioned 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 in this video. This married couple has an amazing video titled (WHO IS SATAN IN THE BOOK OF JOB) where they teach what is going on in that book and what is going on in the two scriptures just mentioned. It might be the most freeing and mind blowing truth I've ever heard. The name of the RUclips channel, if you want to check it out is called (PERFECTED BY BLOOD.) It's ran by Masoud and Rose Ramandi. Keep up the good work.

The biggest contradiction in the bible is the absence of literate eye-witnesses. We are told that an all-seeing, all-knowing God failed to pick a single disciple who was a scribe and that no one kept notes in real time. How can an all-seeing, all-knowing God make such an error? The contradiction is inherent in the gap between the description of God and his methods of having the “good news” recorded.
@@jamestimmons6838 DId John leave a date on the scriptures? No it's just a guess. Some actually believe the Gospel of John was written as early as 70AD. John was the last of the 12 disciples to die. The only one that wasn't Martyred so it is possible that he lived that long.
@@mattpowell6291 so your contention is that, after a profoundly life-changing event, this literate disciple waited about 40 years to write anything down? You contend that he waited years to rethink, misremember, and generally behave as humans do in writing a memoir, selecting details instead of writing the full account as a diary while he is profoundly affected? That despite waiting 40 years, he did not include any history of 40 years of the disciples subsequent lives and missions? You contend that he lived through the plague that hit Jerusalem prior to the revolution and wrote his gospel a year or two before the destruction of the temple? If you believe that, my objection is unchanged. Why did God not inspire him to write the day’s events daily? A contemporary record would be invaluable for a God who wanted to advertise the sacrifice of his own Son for everyone’s sins. That this was the best an all-seeing and all-knowing God would do, if he wanted us all to believe a thing, remains a contradiction.
@@jamestimmons6838 Maybe the disciples did write other scriptures. Who knows. There are many other Gospels that weren't selected to be in the bible by men.

The Messiah/Christ of the Epistles has no forebears, and so: no genealogies. Actually, we have no idea what Jesus taught . At best, all we can know is what anonymous authors writing decades after his purported death told their Greek speaking audiences he taught. That's it. We can't even misquote Jesus , or take his words out of context. If Simon is not renamed Peter until Matthew's gospel, how does Peter show up in Mark's gospel?

Concerning Genealogy, I've done a lot of it. I've always attempted to find at least two different third-party sources to confirm the relationship, often very difficult because of how often common names can result in up to 20 choices. There are times the names are so generic and all I have is a time range, I have very little faith that I've found the correct individual. I choose not to list them so I get gaps. In the Bible, the two lists of ancestors don't add non-matching names, only subtract. I would chalk this up to one writer obtaining more proof or being more accepting of the proof than the other. I wouldn't call it a contradiction in itself, only that it contradicts the claim of infallibility. You make that claim later but not on this point. Perhaps it is unspoken but I would encourage you to clarify in the future concerning this point.
but his point still remains that an inerrant account of such things inspired and divinely dictated.... would not have this present at all. why would it be important to "clarify in the future concerning this point" when the same overarching point still remains exactly the same?

I think contradictions like this don’t interest me much anymore because I don’t think the intent of any of the biblical texts was to provide a historically, scientifically, etc accurate account, but a theological one. This initially allowed me to continue believing the “truth” of the Bible without needing to rely on its “accuracy”. It allowed for myth and allowed me to discard many of its clearly socioculturally specific commands. That said, at a certain point I realized that I was still basically drawing an arbitrary line. I.e. If the historical, scientific, moral claims of the Bible weren’t factual claims, then how could I consider the theological claims to be factual? My basis of belief in the spiritual was the presumption that these spiritual encounters with god “really happened,” even if the details of the story were subject to culture, translation, mythologizing, etc. over time. But I had no historical reason to believe that any version of those divine encounters ever occurred - I was just taking it on faith. That was really the moment that I first admitted I was an atheist. My point (now that this comment has shifted into something else entirely 😆), is that discrepancies like this I believe can easily be explained by the fact that authors had 1) received different traditions of the narrative, 2) had a specific intent/agenda/theme they wanted to communicate, 3) the details of their account served the story they intended to tell, and 4) they didn’t have the same concept of historicity that we do today. Those things can be true without the underlying event being false. I don’t believe the resurrection happened at all, but this type of contradiction (to me) falls more into nitpicking, and more liberal traditions of interpretation of scripture won’t be tripped up by it. I guess at this point I’m more interested in narrative or theological contradictions. Or also, rather than pointing out internal contradictions, I’m interested in seeing the many ways the Bible is NOT unique, how it’s just like any other human religious text. In understanding how sociocultural/political/historical contexts, events, and sources influenced the human writers/editors of the Bible (e.g. 2nd temple Judaism, apocalyptic literature, etc.). Accounts of Caesar “ascending to heaven” was a good example in your video actually. Many apologies for the long post!

If there is no God, all is permissible. There is something. I am pretty darn sure of it. Who said it can't be historical or scientific? Evolution is not proof. It's still a theory.

Thank you for your awesome work. Religious fanatics are the single greatest cause of unnecessary suffering in the modern world. The bogus genealogies is one of my favourite contradictions that proves the profane origins of this *man-made collection of fairytales for gullible idiots* To anyone honest who has studied the Bible and Ancient History it is *glaringly obvious the Bible was written by men (most likely Greeks) who were not Jewish, did not speak Hebrew , were totally ignorant of Jewish culture, unfamiliar with the geography of the region, using other texts as their source material - most likely Josephus' **_De Bello Iudaico_* *The Jesus figure was invented using a checklist of Old Testament prophecies* - except the writers were using the Septuagint as a reference so they mistranslated some of the prophecies, like the one about him being born to a young girl. Which they misunderstood to mean a "virgin". Interestingly *the virgin birth wasn't invented until the 4th century as it's absent from the earliest Bibles, ie., the Codex Sinaiticus* And because Jesus had to be of King David's blood they invented two *transparently fake genealogies* that actually *contradict the virgin birth narrative* Because by making Jesus a descendant of David they mistakenly thought the descent had to be *via the father* and the male line even though kinship in Judaism was *matrilineal* so Jesus is *only a descendant of David through Joseph - but to fulfill the prophecy about the virgin birth Jesus is not the son of Joseph - so by trying to make their Jesus character fulfill two prophecies they make him fulfill neither* *The Codex Sinaiticus proves what garbage the Bible is by exposing the 14,800 changes that were made to the story to fabricate the modern textus receptus* *Among other things the original Bible had no cross (Jesus dies impaled on a sharpened stake, a "stauros"), no virgin birth, no resurrection narrative* Another important observation is that *if you've only read a modern English language Bible you've never actually read the Bible* For example the Bible does not prohibit homosexuality - it doesn't even mention it. Homosexuality is an anachronism - it did not exist as a concept. *The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was not anal sex - it was breaking the law of hospitality* Check out stopbibleabuse.org Also, King James Version is not a translation of the Bible - *the KJV is royalist propaganda disguised as a Bible* *The Bible doesn't stand up to honest scrutiny because it is a composite text written by many hands, constantly edited and altered* Tischendorf - the Bible Scholar and former Vatican librarian who discovered the Codex Sinaiticus - suggested that the NT as we know it was *written in the 4th century and then they added the virgin birth, cross and resurrection narrative* Incidentally the so-called church fathers who actually mention him have some very strange ideas about Jesus. *Never ceases to amaze me how many Christians fail to grasp that the Bible itself - as well as every single American televangelist - meet the Bible's own diagnostic criteria for the work of the devil* *False prophets just like the evil Westboro Baptist Church*
Turn your eyes toward JESUS and see that faith in Him is not man trying to earn GOD`s approval because JESUS did it all, all to Him I owe sin had left a crimson stain, but His blood washes white as snow

It's a shame they traced Jesus's genealogy through his stepfather. It would have been much simpler to use his alleged natural father. Also how genealogies work.
Well what it does, as HKA says is disproves the genealogy argument of Joseph, meaning that both accounts (that contradicted each other) would have had to have been from Mary. But even still, the magical thinking that accepts a virgin birth is disproved with basic science.
Joseph was a seal to remove any doubt however none of that would have mattered had Mary not been a descendant of David herself , Isreali society matrilineal their geneologies don't have to work like you want them

@ 5:15 Believers don't *WANT TO think about the contradiction* between how Jesus could be an actual, physical, DNA carrying descendant of imperfect David, yet ALSO a result of a 'divine' birth from a perfect being, that had no sin ; they can't have it both ways. -- most prefer never to think this through in order to keep their false " faith ".
A human , any human is a three part being , yes he came through the line of David and is his descendant but even David realises that Jesus is his lord in the old testament, not just a man. In conclusion, it's not a logical fallacy
@@cedriceric9730 So Jesus's genetic inheritance and lineage came from imperfect men and women's DNA, through the scores of imperfect men and women passing on the imperfect DNA, and continuous mating of imperfect DNA, yet somehow, magically, he was either a " perfect man " or " God in the flesh " all of a sudden. Again, you can not have it both ways. -- the bible authors hadn't discovered DNA yet, and they also believed that the Sun traveled in motion over the Earth, as Joshua 10:12-13 reveals. Please explain how this " perfect man " came from a lineage of imperfect DNA, and how that works, scientifically --- remember that you need to convince other people, from other cultures ( for example, a Hindu believer ) that this is workable. So, go ahead and explain.
Mary was of the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David. Hence it could be said of her son Jesus that he “came to be from the offspring of David ACCORDING TO THE FLESH.” (Romans 1:3) Through his adoptive father Joseph, a descendant of David, Jesus had a LEGAL right to David’s throne, and through his mother, as the offspring and root of David, he held the natural hereditary right to the throne of David his father. King David said to God at Psalm 139:16: “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your BOOK. Regarding the days when they were formed, before any of them existed.” In poetic language, David speaks of an embryo developing according to the directions written in a preexisting “book,” or plan. This was written some 3,000 years ago-Its talking about DNA! Almighty God created humans, so obviously he would know how we’re made down to the molecular level. This is way before modern scientists discovered DNA 🧬 Yes, The Bible talked about it first!!
@@dvonzosch461 I have no such argument with you , Jesus body was a very human body , infact it was so human the apostles had even more hardship believing he was God than those who never met him .

Isn't it also a contradiction that Paul basically says he cannot stop sinning in his flesh and always does what he doesn't want to do, whereas in 1st John Chapter 3 it says that those who sin and do unrighteousness have never even known God?
Radical Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong posited that Paul was gay. If he was so horny why not just get married? Spong believes that Paul's tortured thoughts were actually relieved when he came to the belief that god loved him as he was. That was Paul's Damascus Road experience.
@@annieoakley2925 Someone else brought up Song to me recently. Certainly a prolific writer and apologist for his point of view. And to be sure, easier to resolve that Paul might be gay (since he brings up male prostitutes in his anti-gay legalism, something that Christ never mentioned once in HIs ministry) vs believing in a magical visitation on a road that no one else can confirm and then grant this wedding crasher (into the group of the apostles) the authority of Christ which contradicts Jesus' (ostensibly the Savior to these folks) 1st Commandment. But one wouldn't be wrong to point out that Paul wasn't aware of the 1st Commandment because he never actually MET Christ, so....magic? Magical thinking itself is a crazy claim for a couple reasons - apparently folks were "resurrected" a lot in this neighborhood, but such a unique event goes unremarked outside of those with a vested interest in selling the myth (magic being currency in those days, as mythology ran rampant, and was powerful to sell to the mostly illiterate population). And relying on magical thinking as a basis of reason is not logical or reasonable. If one wants to have the occasional "belief" that can be discarded and the premise still be true, that's one thing. The problem is that most of the magical thinkers rely on the magical thinking as the basis of their faith. People can believe in Oz too. Or Santa Claus. Literally the same amount of reality (metaphorical, I suppose is a form or reality) to all these concepts.
You wouldn't have to ask this question if you were ever a part of a community of genuine believers , Sin is not an action , it's a nature The fleshly body doesn't work quite well with spiritual laws , humans are spirit , soul ( mental / emotional) and body , if you live according to the spirit you will sin less and less and even up to nearly zero but in that journey you will realize that your body doesn't like that life and you will have to keep it in check. Paul was disappointed in that despite his vast spiritual advancement he realized he was riding inside a body which plays by different rules! Even the best of us realise we must remain disciplined otherwise we automatically slide into sin! It's astounding that Paul was mature enough to even admit it.
@@cedriceric9730 "genuine believers" isn't an actual argument that speaks to veracity, but to cult like thinking. every group can claim they are the "genuine believers" and call you the heretic. Do you see this basic illogic you are applying? Sin is indeed an action that is adjudged by the cult/religion in question, and is disagreed upon in Christianity via sect. Some think Catholicism is full of idol worshippers and pedophiles. Some think evangelicals are justifying greed with prosperity doctrines. Obviously those sects don't believe they are sinning. Idolizing Paul as having any authority itself breaks Jesus' 1st Commandment and make no mistake, the only relationship Paul had with Christ was a claim by Paul that he saw Jesus in a vision. Let's apply common sense to this. Anyone can claim to hear from God. Do we just accept that claim? No, if you were to see on television that some guy claimed that Jesus appeared to him, you'd have more questions than mindless acceptance. God doesn't require us to discern less, He instructs us to test the fruits, and if the fruits are rotted (as they are in the Pharisees argument you make), then it cannot come from the Tree (Jesus). Repent. Critically think. Read (more) so you understand your beliefs are contradicted by facts. You can still be stubborn and hold to bad beliefs, but man up and address the critiques. To avoid that is to stay in a stage of arrested development. God Bless.

Don’t lose faith, and if you haven’t had any up until point there is still time long as your breathing…atheist or not God loves us all, no matter how many times you disregard him…he still loves you and wants you to have a relationship with him
I love how a person breaking free from the brainwashing is loosing faith. No one has lost any faith, we have just come to our senses. Faith is belief in god without proof, that is what you are asking him to hold onto. Ignore all the proof that shows otherwise and believe in god. There is a saying, know your enemy. Now enemy is a harsh word but lack of a better word it works. This is why atheists have an easy time debating believers, we were one ourselves so we know your tricks, the lies you come up with. The lie you say here is god loves us all, if you knew what atheism was you'd know that is BS and to us a lie. DISCLAIMER, someone (not Bussinheads24_7 here) may respond calling me a bot, talking about community tab, hurting kids, whining, they may even PARROT something I said, might even say some random asinine BS that has nothing to do with what was said at all and seems to come out of left field. Yet doesn't address what I said, scroll down to see examples of that. This person is stalking me, he will reply and claim I just stalked him (I have no clue how that works that way), so given that you can see what their mental state is. Also he might seem to ramble on incoherently, want to know who, the one who responds to this point. Fact is he might also acknowledge this is about him, and the only way he can know that is knowing what I said is true, as I never named him it will be telling. If they do say something about community tab do listen to them but also check theirs. Lastly the sad thing is, I won't respond to it yet it will have a one sided conversation with me, talk about desperate. Thanks.

If there really were a Lord you, sir, would be doing his work.
Christianity was invented as a man-made instrument of oppression whose stories were specifically designed to awe "the rabble" (as Eusebius et al. called their target demographic).
Although there are many kind, compassionate and sincere Christians out there, those men and women who use the Bible as a weapon to justify greed, hate, oppression, persecution are a cancer on society.

I agree with Aron Ra, if a deity had revealed Scriptures then they would be without parallel and without any error.
And it's not even close to parallel with the greatest works. Most of the Christians I know do their best to avoid coming into contact with excellent literature. C.S. Lewis is their idea of 'as good as it gets'.
The Bible has no parallel and no errors.

Well, that's the literal approach, when you see the bible as one coherent book instead of a compilation of novels, short texts and epistles from different authors and of different genres. I see the bible more as a book of storytelling and the human attempts to seek deeper meaning and elevate everyday living. I don't believe in gods and goddesses anymore, but I find the human story fascinating. I don't find it a waste of time to study the texts and learn more about the motivations of the authors and the literary styles they used to tell their stories.
It was a slow burn for me. Even in elementary school, my parents told me not to take certain things in the bible literally, such as the 6 day creation. By middle school, I learned to ignore the church's complaints about evolution because they were obviously ignorant of the facts. By high school, and I figured my particular denomination had to wrong, and if I was going to continue to believe, I needed to craft my own theology. I took several bible courses in college (it was a Christian university) and I realized the bible was wrong about a lot of things. Then I staked everything on morality; if there was an adequate secular explanation for morality, then I would stop believing. I took an ethics class, and that was it.

@@jefffloyd9671 I educate myself its up to each to educate themselves
I remember as a kid in church always being confused as to why the pastor would read half of a story about Jesus from "Luke" and then the other half from "John". Or some other combination. Never just straight through all in one gospel. It was always "here is the first part of the story" followed by "and now we turn to John and...". The fact that the gospels all were supposed to cover the same events (Jesus's life start to finish) was never really made clear to me either for a long time. I feel it was a conscious decision because they knew letting people in on the secrete that each one was sometimes WILDLY different and contradictory would give the game away before i was fully indoctrinated.
@SCHOLARvid Probably never talked about in the full context. Its like how for Easter they would never read all the accounts, showcasing that they are different. They would probably pick whichever one they personally liked best, or best flowed into the sermon they wanted to preach. And anytime you did have a question, you were always told whatever was the quickest and easiest way to get you to be complaisant, truth and honesty be damned. Like if you asked "did the flood really happen?" Instead of getting an honest answer about actual history and varying takes on its authenticity or its usage as either literal history or allegory... you were told "yes and they actually found the Ark as well" and that was it. And being 9 or so that was enough.
The scariest part is the level of double think these people possess. At the same time completely aware of the discrepancies and also in complete denial of them...
Compare the versions of the "resurrection" - different days, different times of day, different witnesses, different numbers of "angels", different women. You'd think they could've at least got their story straight but it's because the original Bible didn't include a resurrection narrative - as we see with the Sinaiticus they kept adding random bits and pieces so it looks like different people added their own fabricated and conflicting resurrection narratives probably about the time they changed the sharpened stake to a cross.
And they had to invent the resurrection or how could Paul meet Jesus?
Then Christians wouldn't have known they didn't have to do all the Jewish stuff in the OT
Because it’s self authenticating

The first thing he saw was his daughter a mere child how perverse is that a God being OK with child sacrifice
And they call the Aztecs' human sacrifice barbaric.
Yes, it's another of the horrid tales that were selectively left out from the approved tales of the bible. It was of Jephthah and the events that occurred as you mentioned. The story basically has to be left out because god is told as being: 1) Omnipotent - all-powerful without limits, 2) Omnipresent - at all times everywhere, and 3) Omniscient - all-knowing of the past, present, and future. So if that's the case how & why did he allow Jephthah to make such

0:26 The issue with who spiced Jesus' body isn't a contradiction so much as it is a blatant error/sign of gospel embellishment. In ancient Jewish burial customs, spices are added to the body so that the people preparing the body and mourners don't have to smell the rotting corpse. Why would they add spices to a corpse that has already been buried for three days? There is no one around to be bothered by the odour. Bodies didn't NEED to be "anointed" with spices for any kind of religious cleansing. It makes no sense why the women would do this once the body is already locked away.
Whoever wrote the gospel of Mark wasn't fully aware of Jewish burial customs. The women coming to spice Jesus' body is a plot device used to get witnesses to the empty tomb. It's actually a really good argument against the historicity of the empty tomb.
I read in David Fitzgerald’s book Nailed that the description of Jesus’s trial isn’t the way trials were held in those days. The writers clearly weren’t too familiar with the so-called holy land and its customs.
Another flaw was the round tomb stone, they didn't come into use until the 2nd century CE. When Jesus was supposed to have been buried his tombstone would haven't been round.

What Christians won't admit is that they aren't really Christians because they love God, they're Christians because they're afraid of burning forever. That's always their argument for non-believers or people from different religions. That just shows that Christianity is a religion that is built upon blackmail and fear but is wrapped around a blanket of false love.
SMT intensifies.
Yes it's like being in a relationship with someone who threatens you if you leave.
No. I love God
You fool! Where did you find this information? To clarify, it is the fear of God that keeps us in belief. It even says that in the scriptures. You can’t just assume that all Christians are the same. The truth is that no one is perfect in knowledge or obedience except Jesus. There are people who claim that they are Christians but they have no knowledge. There’s no blackmail if you truly come to learn the word. In conclusion, don’t let what others say build the walls of what a Christian is. Only read what it says in the Bible to truly know what it means to be Christian. In reality, it is your choice whether you believe or not. If someone says that you’re going to “hell” if you don’t believe in God, they are obliviously steal God’s right of say to where someone goes in their afterlife. Use this knowledge, but only if the bible proves of it.
This comment doesn't really makes much sense since you can't get inside the mind of every christian and there are different philosophies of loving God, a good amount of them being based not on fear, but love. I say that because as a traditionalist, i see a lot of people loving God, purely, without knowing the laws properly, which is not what i usually do, as i'm deep in understandign the laws of what is sin and what is not...

Mother's lines are never recorded because it's assumed they are without doubt since God is particularly harsh about that !
It is the mother who makes someone part of Gods people or NOT.
It was Josephs line which needed to be listed and proven
The thing that most people miss is that both Joseph, [his line was cursed in Jeconiah] But Mary was also from the line of King David, and came to be the lynch pin of the prank that GOD played on Satan for through the kinsman redeemer GOD had a pure line back to King David
This is covered quite early in church history, someone found out from Jesus’ family line why there are two genealogy’s.
Dude, I love your videos. This channel changed my life for the better, thanks man.
The other crazy thing about the Jesus lineage is that the Jewish traditions track lineage y through the mother not the father. It’s literally a matriarchal lineage. So tracking back to David through Joseph outside of Jesus being a step son in the realtors wouldn’t be hope that was tracked
It's because they invented the Jesus character using a checklist of old prophecies so they could say he was the "Mashiah" - but by trying to make him fulfil two prophecies they made him fulfil neither.
They made Joseph a descendant of David except Jewish kinship was.matrilineal plus the virgin birth idiocy says Joseph wasn't his father anyway.
The whole "virgin birth" thing proves that the NT was fabricated by Greek speakers who weren't Jewish, and they used the Greek Septuagint as their source.
@@emperorofpluto thanks for breaking down my point so well! This is some great expansion!
@Alias Fakename indeed!!! I was pointing out Judaism for the specifics of tracing Jesus’ lineage but it’s why patriarchy is so toxic because it’s been forced into cultures where it doesn’t belong! Including it’s own. Hell the patriarchal properties come from Greece and the replacement of its first major religion with the chthonic gods in equal step with their female partners (such as Persephone and Hades and why their the least toxic pairing in the pantheon) literally the Olympians defeating the titans was to winning of patriarchy over a fairer egalitarian leaning matriarchal social norm before it. Then the Bible is translated by the Greeks and adopted by the romans who further deminish the feminine from the Devine and replace the cultures of almost all of Europe
Hey, small note. Jews track Judaism status through the matriarchal line, and tribal / property/ role status through the father. It doesn't matter, because Jesus was born of a 'virgin'
@@el-adcohen8201 gracias!
These videos have been blowing my mind. I've been an atheist for the last 5 years or so, and haven't picked up a Bible in almost a decade. I cannot believe how many blatant, obvious contradictions there are that I never noticed growing up. I grew up in a Gospel Hall church too, so I heard the gospels read on a weekly basis. I guess they intentionally downplay or skip over these errors so that people won't notice; I sure didn't.
If people actually read their Bible, the churches would go bankrupt, and the clergy would have to get real jobs.
I wrote the Bible!
So you never picked up a Bible, but you noticed all the contradictions? Have you noticed the contradictions in your own statement? 😀

I used to be a KJV onlyist. One of the things that pushed me away is the fact that they promote the KJV and they invariably say it’s the KJV 1611. However they carry and use the 1769 version. When asked about why there would be an update from the 1611 the answer is “to fix minor punctuation errors”. So of course I would say “Joys and tittles? So the 1611 wasn’t completely perfect and had to be fixed?“. I would the be poo-pood and told I was being rediculous, or even worse that the devil was trying to manipulate me. In the end I decided reality was a thing and being a psychopath doesn’t change that fact.
>>answer is “to fix minor punctuation errors”.
I've read the 1611 KJV and it is written in Old English ("u" is in the of "v")
@@alexmuenster2102 You have no idea what you are talking about first of all. The KJV was good for its time, but as more study shows its inconsistancy was with not translating correct hebrew phrases with its context, with english. example" pss 51. Clean and Pure are NOT the same! "טָהֵר (ṭāhēr) Definition: to be clean or pure" but if you understood hebrew pure implies thats it's 100% pure, not clean, as you can any do so much get close to 98%. HENCE why we need to update these things. But by understanding this, it doesn't take away anything from the bible; My question to you is why do you spend DAY and NIGHT searing your conscience? You really don't wish to believe? God waits, but there is a time where He gave you a fair chance. and like he did for Pharaoh, a heart so hard YOU WILL BELIEVE THE LIE!
The genealogies should be a huge red flag for any believer, if the writers of Matthew and Luke can't get something that simple right, why should we trust any of it if they can't get the small details right, was this not inspired/written/guided by the master of the universe. Even in their new testament Luke 16:10 says: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Maybe I'm wrong quoting this verse, but I feel like it's relevant.
great point when the actual text disproves the dogma. well said.
Matthew is Joseph's genealogy while Luke has Mary's genealogy, not difficult to understand
I am glad that you were not seriously injured in the car accident. Happy new year to you and yours. Keep up the good work
Reading the gospels straight through for a history course after having spent 3 years reading and analyzing other historical documents demolished my remaining faith. The truth did indeed set me free lol.
John 15:12-17
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other”
"Love each another".
After speaking of love, Jesus deals with the hatred of those who reject the Word of God and who reject his disciples. He foretells that the world will hate and persecute Christians just as it hated and persecuted Himself. The world will be hostile to Jesus and consequently it will also hate those who live in his teaching.
Jesus therefore gives another teaching: the tribulations and persecutions to which they will be subject must not frighten them since they, strong in their faith, know that Christ, who has conquered the world, is in them. Jesus' friends are not left alone in persecutions and painful circumstances: they must know that the Defender will be beside them, the Spirit of truth who gave witness to Jesus, will also give it to them. But even the disciples living the very life of Christ will be an uninterrupted witness of his works. In fact, the Spirit, sent by the Father through the Son, will be the "soul" of the Church.
Jesus said: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church.

I was still a big believer in my first year at uni, so I took biblical (koine) Greek. I found the discrepancy in the generational history of Joseph and asked our lecturer about it. He answered by saying that they believe that Mary was somehow related to David. Besides that, the first thing they tell you in your first class is that a lot of the figurative language has been lost, so they have to make educated guesses as to which expressions get to be translated literally. This is what led me to deconvert.
Yes, jewish lineage is passed on by the mother, they inherit titles/property/etc from the father. So this checks out. Also to counter the whole "there's more generations between x date and y date on this side than there are on that side" argument. I'll just say...In modern times, we have teen moms, and we have women who have children in their 30s. It's not too far fetched to say they weren't coordinating their pregnancies or anything, so odds are, if you're just tracing the lineage, the chance of having more generations on one side is high.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is True. The Hebrews wrote in Hebrew, the romans wrote in greek.
The so-called modern scholars, like to say Mark was written first and that “Matthew” copied from “Mark” Because it is the least flattering. Under this assumption the least accurate or most degraded document would be called first/original. If “Matthew Copied from “Mark”, then did Messiah really say, in Mark 16: 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover? If so why didn’t Matthew mention it? He didn’t believe it? He didn’t think it was important? No, Mark was written by a roman, copying from “Matthew” in roman; to destroy the message of The Messiah, by linking it with spauls’ blasphemous greek gospel to the greeks.
In Matthew and Luke the genealogies are a contradiction. Matthew said the woman held Him by the feet and worshipped Him. Luke says that Jesus said, don't touch me for I have not yet ascended to My Father. Spaul contradicts all the other 40 Inspired Hebrew Books including “Matthew”.
Old Testament so called "contradictions" or copy errors are few and can be easily explained with proper translation. In the "New Testament" (Hebrew/greek), there are many irreconcilable differences. Because only Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. "Matthew" was written anomalously/untitled. It is The Testament of Messiah the last Inspired book.
The roman/greek books that fallow are full of roman lies, propaganda and contradictions; so the gentiles wouldn't become Jews in Jesus and obey The Law.

The story says Jesus claimed that “every jot and tittle” of the Jewish Torah was inerrant. Nothing at all is said of the Bible in the Bible because the Bible is an Omnibus, “a volume containing several novels or other items previously published separately.”
Exactly. Jesus couldn't be talking about ANY of the NT including the gospels, because it wasn't written yet.

The problem: the stories land in the hands of friends who like them, tell them their friends who know nothing about the contest but write them down/copy them for their friends. start believing in them, ... - and when the original authors notice what happens it's too late: Paul already had his vision, the romans start checking this strange new cult, other authors write their own stories in this shared universe, ...
Sure, that's surely not what really happend, but it's a nice theory 🙂 - and would explain some new testament contradictions
That's the thing, there's nothing wrong if it was something like this. Jesus as a rebel liverator for the Jews, whether fsctual or fiction or both.

You know, like claiming a child is of the lineage of a his mother's partner, while also claiming it's not his child.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is True. The Hebrews wrote in Hebrew, the romans wrote in greek.
The so-called modern scholars, like to say Mark was written first and that “Matthew” copied from “Mark” Because it is the least flattering. Under this assumption the least accurate or most degraded document would be called first/original. If “Matthew Copied from “Mark”, then did Messiah really say, in Mark 16: 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover? If so why didn’t Matthew mention it? He didn’t believe it? He didn’t think it was important? No, Mark was written by a roman, copying from “Matthew” in roman; to destroy the message of The Messiah, by linking it with spauls’ blasphemous greek gospel to the greeks.
In Matthew and Luke the genealogies are a contradiction. Matthew said the woman held Him by the feet and worshipped Him. Luke says that Jesus said, don't touch me for I have not yet ascended to My Father. Spaul contradicts all the other 40 Inspired Hebrew Books including “Matthew”.
Old Testament so called "contradictions" or copy errors are few and can be easily explained with proper translation. In the "New Testament" (Hebrew/greek), there are many irreconcilable differences. Because only Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. "Matthew" was written anomalously/untitled. It is The Testament of Messiah the last Inspired book.
The roman/greek books that fallow are full of roman lies, propaganda and contradictions; so the gentiles wouldn't become Jews in Jesus and obey The Law.
HalaluYah Brothers and Sisters!!! Yah didn't start speaking greek after they killed His Only Begotten Son.
Rome is the beast of Daniel 7 that was given power (the roman cannon) over the saints for a season. Jesus is coming soon. Heavenly Father Bless You...

Nicodemus brings a roll of myrrh and aloes for the burial. The women who went to Jesus’ tomb on the third day to grease his body was done because of the hurried circumstances under which Jesus was buried and hence with the purpose of doing a more complete work as a means of preserving the body for a longer period.
I've never understood the "fulfilled the law" thing. How do you fulfill a law? Where in the old testament does it say these laws are only in effect until the messiah comes? And maybe more importantly, how can the law change when Jesus says the law will not change until the world is destroyed? Last I checked, the world still exists.
I'm not able to address that very well, but Paul had said that the Law was fulfilled in Yeshua's death and resurrection, we therefore do not need the Law. But Yeshua's brother James (that makes literalist Catholics mad) said we still have to follow the Law. And that "good works" are the faithful following of the Law, not good deeds as Christians are taught.
I interpret fulfilling the law as finishing out the morality and laws paved out in the old testament, especially considering that he emphasizes "I come to fulfill it, not abolish it" another verse says "follow the law of the land" which in the context of the line would have been the Jewish law of the old testament, the notion that Jesus' resurrection made it so old testament laws are invalid is a misconception most likely conjured by Christians who could no longer explain away the horrible morals contained within it
@@juiceoverflow two things don't make sense to me with that interpretation. "Fulfill, not abolish", and yet most Christians treat the laws as abolished. And second, Jesus says not a letter of the law will change until heaven and earth are destroyed. I don't know about heaven, but earth hasn't been destroyed.
@@alexmcd378 well I'll tell you why that happens, because 99% of Christians have never opened up the Bible and just know what cherry picked sections and rewritten narratives were drilled into them by their pastor or parents
Jesus fulfilled the Law by keeping to it perfectly. He neither disobeyed its commandments nor declared any part of it not binding upon the Israelites. Once fulfilled when he died, that Law was no longer binding on God’s people.
Keep fighting the good fight brother!

Let me pop your bubble , it's the mother who decides if someone is even an Israelite or not, the society is matrilineal .
Mary's line wasn't listed because that is the core which builds isreali society!
It is the male line which has to be proven and listed and continuously monitored.
Joseph being a descendant of David wouldn't even matter if Mary wasn't a descendant of David
That's just how Israeli society works
Therefore your argument is quite pointless

You might be surprised to know that I am a believer in God but really like your channel. I was in mainstream Christianity for 38 years. It never really felt right but because I believed in God I thought something must have been wrong with me so I tried to ignore it. I would walk away several times in my life but eventually try again. Several years ago I had given up again and wasn't looking to seek anymore. Then about a year ago I found myself coming home from work at night and turning on RUclips on my big screen TV and trying to find something that seemed to be right. I would drink my coffee as I went from one crazy so called Christian teaching video after another. After several nights and maybe a hundred or so of these videos I found one that right away was different. It was a channel ran by a husband and wife who were Iranian ex Muslims! My mind was blown!!! I thought what is this?! All the crap I had learned from 38 years of religious lies were trying to fight against it. But it was as if my heart was reaching outside my body and trying to grab the words that were in the air! Lie after lie was washed away each night. You mentioned 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 in this video. This married couple has an amazing video titled (WHO IS SATAN IN THE BOOK OF JOB) where they teach what is going on in that book and what is going on in the two scriptures just mentioned. It might be the most freeing and mind blowing truth I've ever heard. The name of the RUclips channel, if you want to check it out is called (PERFECTED BY BLOOD.) It's ran by Masoud and Rose Ramandi. Keep up the good work.

The biggest contradiction in the bible is the absence of literate eye-witnesses. We are told that an all-seeing, all-knowing God failed to pick a single disciple who was a scribe and that no one kept notes in real time. How can an all-seeing, all-knowing God make such an error? The contradiction is inherent in the gap between the description of God and his methods of having the “good news” recorded.
John was one of the 12 disciples...whoops
@@mattpowell6291 would be relevant if the Gospel of John had not been written between 90 and 100 CE, long after the disciples were dead.
@@jamestimmons6838 DId John leave a date on the scriptures? No it's just a guess. Some actually believe the Gospel of John was written as early as 70AD. John was the last of the 12 disciples to die. The only one that wasn't Martyred so it is possible that he lived that long.
@@mattpowell6291 so your contention is that, after a profoundly life-changing event, this literate disciple waited about 40 years to write anything down? You contend that he waited years to rethink, misremember, and generally behave as humans do in writing a memoir, selecting details instead of writing the full account as a diary while he is profoundly affected? That despite waiting 40 years, he did not include any history of 40 years of the disciples subsequent lives and missions? You contend that he lived through the plague that hit Jerusalem prior to the revolution and wrote his gospel a year or two before the destruction of the temple? If you believe that, my objection is unchanged. Why did God not inspire him to write the day’s events daily? A contemporary record would be invaluable for a God who wanted to advertise the sacrifice of his own Son for everyone’s sins. That this was the best an all-seeing and all-knowing God would do, if he wanted us all to believe a thing, remains a contradiction.
@@jamestimmons6838 Maybe the disciples did write other scriptures. Who knows. There are many other Gospels that weren't selected to be in the bible by men. All we have today is the current bible and the dead sea scrolls.
If there weren't many literate people back then, writing down the stories would've seen pointless. The most efficient way to spread the Good News was word of mouth.

The Messiah/Christ of the Epistles has no forebears, and so: no genealogies.
Actually, we have no idea what Jesus taught . At best, all we can know is what anonymous authors writing decades after his purported death told their Greek speaking audiences he taught. That's it. We can't even misquote Jesus , or take his words out of context.
If Simon is not renamed Peter until Matthew's gospel, how does Peter show up in Mark's gospel?
My nephew is a pastor who is also an inerrantist. Having conversation about these contradictions, how the Bible was edited and changed by humans, and also the fact that different versions of the Bible have different wording is an exercise is frustration.
Why would Jesus resurrect anyone to begin with? Aren't they supposed to be in heaven? Is life better than heaven according to Jesus?
Na fundamentalist believe before Jesus’s death that good people =Jews went to the Bosom of Abraham which was like hevan but god wasn’t there and it was divided by a gab from hell
I also wonder why eternal life can't just be achieved from eating from the tree of life in Eden. Wouldn't that be easier?
Concerning Genealogy, I've done a lot of it. I've always attempted to find at least two different third-party sources to confirm the relationship, often very difficult because of how often common names can result in up to 20 choices. There are times the names are so generic and all I have is a time range, I have very little faith that I've found the correct individual. I choose not to list them so I get gaps. In the Bible, the two lists of ancestors don't add non-matching names, only subtract. I would chalk this up to one writer obtaining more proof or being more accepting of the proof than the other. I wouldn't call it a contradiction in itself, only that it contradicts the claim of infallibility. You make that claim later but not on this point. Perhaps it is unspoken but I would encourage you to clarify in the future concerning this point.
but his point still remains that an inerrant account of such things inspired and divinely dictated.... would not have this present at all. why would it be important to "clarify in the future concerning this point" when the same overarching point still remains exactly the same?
@@DanielBoonelight I bring it up because believers bring it up. I agree with you but the difficulty with any conversation with a true believer in XYZ is their ability to focus on tiny points while ignoring the big picture. "Uno falsus, omni falsus" is the fall back position that I try to avoid handing to them if possible. But, not always possible.
I think contradictions like this don’t interest me much anymore because I don’t think the intent of any of the biblical texts was to provide a historically, scientifically, etc accurate account, but a theological one. This initially allowed me to continue believing the “truth” of the Bible without needing to rely on its “accuracy”. It allowed for myth and allowed me to discard many of its clearly socioculturally specific commands.
That said, at a certain point I realized that I was still basically drawing an arbitrary line. I.e. If the historical, scientific, moral claims of the Bible weren’t factual claims, then how could I consider the theological claims to be factual? My basis of belief in the spiritual was the presumption that these spiritual encounters with god “really happened,” even if the details of the story were subject to culture, translation, mythologizing, etc. over time. But I had no historical reason to believe that any version of those divine encounters ever occurred - I was just taking it on faith. That was really the moment that I first admitted I was an atheist.
My point (now that this comment has shifted into something else entirely 😆), is that discrepancies like this I believe can easily be explained by the fact that authors had 1) received different traditions of the narrative, 2) had a specific intent/agenda/theme they wanted to communicate, 3) the details of their account served the story they intended to tell, and 4) they didn’t have the same concept of historicity that we do today. Those things can be true without the underlying event being false. I don’t believe the resurrection happened at all, but this type of contradiction (to me) falls more into nitpicking, and more liberal traditions of interpretation of scripture won’t be tripped up by it.
I guess at this point I’m more interested in narrative or theological contradictions. Or also, rather than pointing out internal contradictions, I’m interested in seeing the many ways the Bible is NOT unique, how it’s just like any other human religious text. In understanding how sociocultural/political/historical contexts, events, and sources influenced the human writers/editors of the Bible (e.g. 2nd temple Judaism, apocalyptic literature, etc.). Accounts of Caesar “ascending to heaven” was a good example in your video actually.

Being in the bible’s bible belt (Oklahoma) it’s refreshing to hear this 💩 called out 👏🏻🫶🏻
Let me guess, you're just going to take his word for it without doing your own research? Typical gullible atheist 💩
Thank you for your awesome work. Religious fanatics are the single greatest cause of unnecessary suffering in the modern world. The bogus genealogies is one of my favourite contradictions that proves the profane origins of this *man-made collection of fairytales for gullible idiots* To anyone honest who has studied the Bible and Ancient History it is *glaringly obvious the Bible was written by men (most likely Greeks) who were not Jewish, did not speak Hebrew , were totally ignorant of Jewish culture, unfamiliar with the geography of the region, using other texts as their source material - most likely Josephus' **_De Bello Iudaico_*
*The Jesus figure was invented using a checklist of Old Testament prophecies* - except the writers were using the Septuagint as a reference so they mistranslated some of the prophecies, like the one about him being born to a young girl. Which they misunderstood to mean a "virgin".
Interestingly *the virgin birth wasn't invented until the 4th century as it's absent from the earliest Bibles, ie., the Codex Sinaiticus*
And because Jesus had to be of King David's blood they invented two *transparently fake genealogies* that actually *contradict the virgin birth narrative*
Because by making Jesus a descendant of David they mistakenly thought the descent had to be *via the father* and the male line even though kinship in Judaism was *matrilineal* so Jesus is *only a descendant of David through Joseph - but to fulfill the prophecy about the virgin birth Jesus is not the son of Joseph - so by trying to make their Jesus character fulfill two prophecies they make him fulfill neither*
*The Codex Sinaiticus proves what garbage the Bible is by exposing the 14,800 changes that were made to the story to fabricate the modern textus receptus*
*Among other things the original Bible had no cross (Jesus dies impaled on a sharpened stake, a "stauros"), no virgin birth, no resurrection narrative*
Another important observation is that *if you've only read a modern English language Bible you've never actually read the Bible*
For example the Bible does not prohibit homosexuality - it doesn't even mention it.
Homosexuality is an anachronism - it did not exist as a concept.
*The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was not anal sex - it was breaking the law of hospitality*
Check out stopbibleabuse.org
Also, King James Version is not a translation of the Bible - *the KJV is royalist propaganda disguised as a Bible*
*The Bible doesn't stand up to honest scrutiny because it is a composite text written by many hands, constantly edited and altered*
Tischendorf - the Bible Scholar and former Vatican librarian who discovered the Codex Sinaiticus - suggested that the NT as we know it was *written in the 4th century and then they added the virgin birth, cross and resurrection narrative*
Incidentally the so-called church fathers who actually mention him have some very strange ideas about Jesus.
*Never ceases to amaze me how many Christians fail to grasp that the Bible itself - as well as every single American televangelist - meet the Bible's own diagnostic criteria for the work of the devil*
*False prophets just like the evil Westboro Baptist Church*

Well what it does, as HKA says is disproves the genealogy argument of Joseph, meaning that both accounts (that contradicted each other) would have had to have been from Mary. But even still, the magical thinking that accepts a virgin birth is disproved with basic science.
Joseph was a seal to remove any doubt however none of that would have mattered had Mary not been a descendant of David herself ,

-- most prefer never to think this through in order to keep their false " faith ".
A human , any human is a three part being , yes he came through the line of David and is his descendant but even David realises that Jesus is his lord in the old testament, not just a man.
In conclusion, it's not a logical fallacy
@@cedriceric9730 So Jesus's genetic inheritance and lineage came from imperfect men and women's DNA, through the scores of imperfect men and women passing on the imperfect DNA, and continuous mating of imperfect DNA, yet somehow, magically, he was either a " perfect man " or " God in the flesh " all of a sudden.
Again, you can not have it both ways.
-- the bible authors hadn't discovered DNA yet, and they also believed that the Sun traveled in motion over the Earth, as Joshua 10:12-13 reveals.
Please explain how this " perfect man " came from a lineage of imperfect DNA, and how that works, scientifically
--- remember that you need to convince other people, from other cultures ( for example, a Hindu believer ) that this is workable.
So, go ahead and explain.
Mary was of the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David. Hence it could be said of her son Jesus that he “came to be from the offspring of David ACCORDING TO THE FLESH.” (Romans 1:3) Through his adoptive father Joseph, a descendant of David, Jesus had a LEGAL right to David’s throne, and through his mother, as the offspring and root of David, he held the natural hereditary right to the throne of David his father.
King David said to God at Psalm 139:16: “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your BOOK. Regarding the days when they were formed, before any of them existed.” In poetic language, David speaks of an embryo developing according to the directions written in a preexisting “book,” or plan. This was written some 3,000 years ago-Its talking about DNA! Almighty God created humans, so obviously he would know how we’re made down to the molecular level. This is way before modern scientists discovered DNA 🧬 Yes, The Bible talked about it first!!
@@dvonzosch461 I have no such argument with you , Jesus body was a very human body , infact it was so human the apostles had even more hardship believing he was God than those who never met him .
The human being is NOT their body , the real human being is a spirit ! You can't be alive without a spirit but you can be without a body.
Sin doesn't come from the body it comes from the real you, the spirit and Jesus was God in the spirit and he kept his body holy .
He got hungry , he felt everything a human can ever feel yet he was God in the spirit and he kept his body from sinning.

Was Jesus even related to Joseph? Mary was a virgin after all....
Yes he was , both Mary and Joseph were descendants of David
This is golden! Keep up the good work!
Commenting purely to help algorithm 👍
Isn't it also a contradiction that Paul basically says he cannot stop sinning in his flesh and always does what he doesn't want to do, whereas in 1st John Chapter 3 it says that those who sin and do unrighteousness have never even known God?
Radical Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong posited that Paul was gay. If he was so horny why not just get married? Spong believes that Paul's tortured thoughts were actually relieved when he came to the belief that god loved him as he was. That was Paul's Damascus Road experience.
@@annieoakley2925 Someone else brought up Song to me recently. Certainly a prolific writer and apologist for his point of view. And to be sure, easier to resolve that Paul might be gay (since he brings up male prostitutes in his anti-gay legalism, something that Christ never mentioned once in HIs ministry) vs believing in a magical visitation on a road that no one else can confirm and then grant this wedding crasher (into the group of the apostles) the authority of Christ which contradicts Jesus' (ostensibly the Savior to these folks) 1st Commandment. But one wouldn't be wrong to point out that Paul wasn't aware of the 1st Commandment because he never actually MET Christ, so....magic?
Magical thinking itself is a crazy claim for a couple reasons - apparently folks were "resurrected" a lot in this neighborhood, but such a unique event goes unremarked outside of those with a vested interest in selling the myth (magic being currency in those days, as mythology ran rampant, and was powerful to sell to the mostly illiterate population). And relying on magical thinking as a basis of reason is not logical or reasonable. If one wants to have the occasional "belief" that can be discarded and the premise still be true, that's one thing. The problem is that most of the magical thinkers rely on the magical thinking as the basis of their faith.
People can believe in Oz too. Or Santa Claus. Literally the same amount of reality (metaphorical, I suppose is a form or reality) to all these concepts.
You wouldn't have to ask this question if you were ever a part of a community of genuine believers ,
Sin is not an action , it's a nature
The fleshly body doesn't work quite well with spiritual laws , humans are spirit , soul ( mental / emotional) and body , if you live according to the spirit you will sin less and less and even up to nearly zero but in that journey you will realize that your body doesn't like that life and you will have to keep it in check.
Paul was disappointed in that despite his vast spiritual advancement he realized he was riding inside a body which plays by different rules!
Even the best of us realise we must remain disciplined otherwise we automatically slide into sin!
It's astounding that Paul was mature enough to even admit it.
@@cedriceric9730 "genuine believers" isn't an actual argument that speaks to veracity, but to cult like thinking. every group can claim they are the "genuine believers" and call you the heretic. Do you see this basic illogic you are applying?
Sin is indeed an action that is adjudged by the cult/religion in question, and is disagreed upon in Christianity via sect. Some think Catholicism is full of idol worshippers and pedophiles. Some think evangelicals are justifying greed with prosperity doctrines. Obviously those sects don't believe they are sinning.
Idolizing Paul as having any authority itself breaks Jesus' 1st Commandment and make no mistake, the only relationship Paul had with Christ was a claim by Paul that he saw Jesus in a vision.
Let's apply common sense to this. Anyone can claim to hear from God. Do we just accept that claim? No, if you were to see on television that some guy claimed that Jesus appeared to him, you'd have more questions than mindless acceptance.
God doesn't require us to discern less, He instructs us to test the fruits, and if the fruits are rotted (as they are in the Pharisees argument you make), then it cannot come from the Tree (Jesus).
Repent. Critically think. Read (more) so you understand your beliefs are contradicted by facts. You can still be stubborn and hold to bad beliefs, but man up and address the critiques. To avoid that is to stay in a stage of arrested development.
God Bless.
@@desnock there are false groups doesn't mean you can never ever find a group of believers who can provide you the answers from God .
I know several bible based christian groups ,
None are perfect but some errors can be too big to ignore like catholic idolatry.
This isn't shopping , you're talking about choosing a church like it's shopping .
God speaks to the heart ! There are good people God has opened eyes of their heart to flee catholicism but I also know several great people whose eyes are still closed about it .
Also I some evangelicals are proven conmen doesn't mean all of them are .
Don’t lose faith, and if you haven’t had any up until point there is still time long as your breathing…atheist or not God loves us all, no matter how many times you disregard him…he still loves you and wants you to have a relationship with him
I love how a person breaking free from the brainwashing is loosing faith. No one has lost any faith, we have just come to our senses.
Faith is belief in god without proof, that is what you are asking him to hold onto. Ignore all the proof that shows otherwise and believe in god.
There is a saying, know your enemy. Now enemy is a harsh word but lack of a better word it works. This is why atheists have an easy time debating believers, we were one ourselves so we know your tricks, the lies you come up with.
The lie you say here is god loves us all, if you knew what atheism was you'd know that is BS and to us a lie.
DISCLAIMER, someone (not Bussinheads24_7 here) may respond calling me a bot, talking about community tab, hurting kids, whining, they may even PARROT something I said, might even say some random asinine BS that has nothing to do with what was said at all and seems to come out of left field. Yet doesn't address what I said, scroll down to see examples of that.
This person is stalking me, he will reply and claim I just stalked him (I have no clue how that works that way), so given that you can see what their mental state is. Also he might seem to ramble on incoherently, want to know who, the one who responds to this point.
Fact is he might also acknowledge this is about him, and the only way he can know that is knowing what I said is true, as I never named him it will be telling.
If they do say something about community tab do listen to them but also check theirs.
Lastly the sad thing is, I won't respond to it yet it will have a one sided conversation with me, talk about desperate.
Thanks.
Amen!!!
a loving parent doesnt leave a baby with a knife because it values free will
loving parents are also active communicators and dont hide from their children
Much love mate for your content .
However, I find it odd that God has a thing for foreskins...God's very strange...
Most of Christian priests somehow are attracted by children foreskins, now I know why;)
Why are men born with it in the first place if it needs to be cut off?
