    God and Science cannot be separated. Science tries to explain how things work and everything they discover was created by God.

      Don't be silly. The video only shows the illiterate can be fooled by an academic doing sophistry performance.
      Any god outside of fiction is an absurdity the illiterate observes.
      Those with one foot in fantasyland authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones & magic.
      The religious don't have ears to hear, the books of God are filled with faith & prayers:
      Nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital, the religious are only into convincing themselves.
      Rabbi Podium Jockey should not take himself so seriously, nobody should.
      The religious have no quality-controls.
      God knows, god helps those helping themselves is a saying because gods have a perfect record of nothing doing outside of fiction. One might expect a deity to make itself known to everyone without work performed in interpretations of old literature by guys like our verbose podium jockey. Who in their right mind promotes travel as if best done with one foot in fantasyland vocabulary. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital, and these wolves in sheep's clothing advocate prayer & faith verbiage. Even Jesus Christ said faith was worthless if you can't move mountains by issuing voice commands.
      What is moral or ethical about suggestions of travel with one foot in some religious fantasyland?
      A house divided cannot stand.
      We vote because Christians have no quality-controls, & we desire those governing not making suggestions travel is best done with one foot in someone's fantasyland.
      'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.''
      Come, let us worship Jesus.
      Let us all forget it was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch-killings.
      Let us forget we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves, because gods have a perfect record of doing nothing.
      Let us ignore nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital.
      Let us ignore a wicked generation seeks signs.
      Theologians grant the titles to each other without a deity certification.
      A deity unable to be acknowledged by everyone is a forgery based on literature.
      Oppression builds character among the dominated.
      Who do you think nailed the king of the Jews, when Imperial Rome controlled temples & publications?
      Just for the fun of it, have their Messiah say render to Caesar?
      My sheep hear my voice.
      Think not I come with peace, but sword.
      The literate of the age; built religions & made propaganda, devalued the currency, too.
      Marvel not I say you are all gods, and so on & so on.
      Faith is a fantasyland term, & the Christians hate to hear it.
      If faith had any value, then you could move mountains by voice-command.
      We know there is no god outside of fiction.
      Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy.
      The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control.

      I come to divide this that and the other thing, & I give you tax exempt status.
      "Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power, and without the full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodology for economic conquest -- it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public."
      You can't be serious.
      God is an absurdity outside of fiction.
      It is the religious who don't have ears to hear, being a wicked generations seeking signs.

    The last question is actually the hardest. If God is perfect, where did the first evil thought came from. God's perfection had to be made known. God the spirit consist of saviour, healer, provider and everything good for us. But how will you know light if there's no darkness? How will you appreciate and embrace love if there was no hate? If there was no imperfection then you wouldn't even be asking the question about perfection. The negatives had come about because the positive was in God, initially. In the end though, there would be no more negative but only positive since God's attributes had already been made known.

    Science only doing 2 things:
    1. Doing the research about things that already been created by God. Example: Science did not created the sun, but science only doing the research everything about the sun like how far it's from earth, how hot it was, whether it has axis, what are the purposes of its light, etc etc.
    2. Doing the exploitation with the sources that already been created by God. Example: Science created satelites and later they invented Internet. But science use the materials that created by God like steel and other metals to build the satelites. For TV transmission and Internet, science use the wave that already been created by God.
    Still, science cannot understand the metaphysic world. Science just making people understand how things works. Sure, science is good for mankind, but still we have to believe 'the super power' who created the world including created human, animal, plant, planet, wind, oxygen (for us to breathe) and even all the scientists themselve (which are human) are also created by God.

    The kingdom of Christ is built on the Love of one heart at a time, and the house of God is strengthened by the Soul of each heart.
    It is better to be God in the heart of one person. Than to be God in the minds of the multitude.
    G.B. - Garcia 2022 (cc)
    It means nothing to have God in the mind and brains of all humanity if God does not exist in the heart of each. The absence of knowledge is devoid of all factual information and is deprived of all wisdom. Without Gid in the heart of humanity
    knowledge is just another lonely tree in the garden of Eden, no one willing or wanting to discover its fruit.

    What is this great need to mix science and religion? Many require their religion either as a crutch, and excuse or a comfort - science requires none of these things. Either something is proven or it hangs in that twilight zone of "this is good enough until we learn more" . If this guy wants to attribute his scientific viewpoint to some all-knowing all powerful all encompassing entity then how can he make the attribution knowing that, according to his won views, the entity he refers to is beyond his comprehension? Better to be honest and say "well I can't know everything"

    • @bologiesuga8695
      @bologiesuga8695 Год назад +1

      In regard to the statement about demons accepting Jesus. Like William martin IV said in his comment above, demons actually do not accept Christ in the way we do. Demons know who Christ is and are aware of his identity ( this fact is littered all over the gospels e.g., Mark 5;1-8) but they can't believe Christ for salvation. They can't be saved. Why? Demons can't "die" because they are spirits. Man's ability to die after the fall is what makes him redeemable/ savable. So death in this world is the reason this world can be saved. Heb 9:22 says, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." Death though blood shed is the only way sins can be atoned for. Now this brings us to another fact. Jesus came to save man through his death, burial and resurrection and not demons. Romans 8:3 says, "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh." God sent his Son in the likeness of what/ who he wanted to save. Christ condemned sin in the flesh and since the demons have no flesh this salvation isn't possible to be accepted by them. Why? Because it is not provided for them.

    • @bologiesuga8695
      @bologiesuga8695 Год назад +1

      In regard to baptism. Baptism does not save. Baptism is a physical representation of a spiritual reality which came about through Faith. Like Paul Garduno said in his comment no human performance/ physical ritual can save because the Christian is saved by grace through faith. Baptism was practiced by 1st century Christians as a 'ritual' showing their inclusion into the church. In baptism the person is immersed in water, signifying his association with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ which saved him, his coming out of the water signifies the newness of life ( the new creature) he receives as a result of our belief in the finished work of Christ.
      Let me use scripture now to explain that baptism doesn't save. Mark 16:16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” This scripture appears on the surface to be saying that without baptism and believing a man can't be saved. That's what it would have meant if the verse didn't add that "he who does not believe would be condemned". What I'm saying is this. Jesus speaks on believing and baptism for salvation but then says he who does not believe is condemned. The question then is, why did Jesus omit baptism in the b part. Why didn't he say he who doesn't believe and is not baptized would be condemned? This tells us that faith (believing) in Christ is what saves a man.
      However, I am not saying there is no place for baptism. The disciples were instructed to baptise and Christians should still be baptized in our days but not for salvation but as a physical symbol of their spiritual reality through believing. If someone happens to not have enough time to be baptized after salvation due to death, believing is enough. In the event that one gives his life to Christ and lives on after that, refusing baptism is then disobedience.

    Pride and ignorance
    Pride is ignorance boasting.
    ignorance is life’s greatest adversary and denial is ignorance’s strongest ally.
    An opinion is a deep seeded selfish desire to express one’s own ignorance. A desire so selfish that even ignorance wants to exist alone.
    ignorance miss uses the power of persuasion by transforming little knowledge into as if it were a greater knowing.
    Pressing one’s nescience point of view by oneself over another person. A willful disregard for the limitation of one’s own reference, and ignoring the evidence to the contrary. Pride is ignorance boasting.
