@@GaudioWind Clearly you haven't read the Bible... Like Bob Dylan said in his song... Don't criticize what you can't understand. "It makes you think you need a saviour" so according to you the world and us humans are perfect and we need no one. I think even non-christians terror victims would oppose that statement.
@@Hriata_Hlondo_macubex not at all. Everyone believes we could be punished for our faults, but being condemned to hell for eternity is too much. I wonder how you can believe it. What would you have done that you can't pay for and would make you deserve hell for eternity?
@JB GTO No. I'm not condemning myself to hell. I'm just living a normal life. I haven't ever stolen any child from his mother. Have you? So, why would God think you deserve hell?
I am an arabic man i was a muslim but i choose to become a son to Jesus Christ… thank u sir for ur channel and please pray for me to be a good Christian man ..
Why I believe is because of what has happened in my life. Miracles. I was 11 when I prayed over my friend who could not feel her legs, now she can.. God has done a lot of me
@@Deegan75 No, the doctors knew she couldn't, she also moves differently and has a hard time controlling things, and I felt God telling me to pray over her, then she felt her legs, atleast one of her wishes was answered to feel her legs. The doctors said she wouldn't ever be able to feel her legs.
@@Deegan75 Of course, I felt the holy spirit and then it came to my mind and wouldn't leave, I told God to let me know if he wants me to do this, then in the morning my bff had a weird feeling in her legs, I told God to give her that feeling, and my bff doesn't lie.
@@Christiangirl-qj3wt So God already knew what she needed, but instead of just doing it for her he had to speak to you and get you to ask him to do it first.... got it 👌🏽
Forgot to mention that they died for the messiah as martyrs. They wouldn't do that for a lie. !!EDIT!! Before you comment, please note that I am well aware of people dying for their religious beliefs nowadays too. What I ment was this. They were THE eyewitnesses of Jesus's dwelling and death. His disciples were the only ones able to rightly judge whether the whole Jesus thing was legit or false. THEY KNEW IT, nobody just told them nor did they read stories of sb. They LIVED with Jesus! Today, in order to question the gospel, many accuse them of willingly implementing a lie. All I'm saying is, nobody lays down ones life willingly for a made up hoax fabricated by yourself. Therefore the explanation the disciples were deliberately lying and confirming that lie the their own death is highly unlikely and illogical.
Thats summed up of the resurrection of Jesus in and of itself. Christian writers of the NT would have to be completely INSANE to give up their life this way if the resurrection didnt exist. Even I wouldn't believe the NT, but cries out too much alertness and surety for me not to believe.
You would find Islamists and other fanatics able to die for something you would saw as a lie. Especially, if christians believed in ressurection and next life.
Paul before his journey to Damascus was one of the most powerful men in the region. He had wealth, knowledge, and authority. His sole mission was to seek out Christ believers and kill them... he gave it all up to ensure the true Word of God was known to the world. As he was being lead to have his head cut off he was still sharing the Good News and the Legionnaire walking him to the block kneeled with him for he too had accepted Christ and was going to martyr alongside Paul. Now that I've finished writing this I don't recall why I chose to share this with you but I hope it gives you as much joy for the Kingdom as I
@@johnmakovec5698 The difference between the two is in Islam it was ONE man crying "God appeared to me and told me this!" In Christianity 13 men collectively cried "We have all seen the Son and He has risen!"

After gabbi, my sister, helped me give my life to Christ, we read the Bible and I learned about God until night came. When it was time to go to bed, I slept on the top bunk, and her on the bottom. I remember sleeping, and literally my dream was amazing. All I saw were words of what I had learned about God, and it was a whole prayer, IN MY DREAM! I was praying subconsciously and the words I was praying were popping out as I said them in color, and the previous words I said would disappear! I remember waking up from that, and being like “woah! thank you God!”. My sister asked me if I was awake, and I said yes. I asked her what time it was, and guess what she said! 3:05 am! I asked her when did she wake up and she said “literally like 5 minutes ago!” I started telling her about my dream, and she said she had a crazy one too! She said in her dream, she saw 3 angels around me! One on my right holding my shoulder, one on the left holding my shoulder, and then one in the middle standing tall behind me! AND GUESS FREAKING WHAT! THEY WERE PRAYING OVER ME!!! JUST LIKE IN MY DREAM WITH THE PRAYERS! and after this, I looked up what the meaning of the angels were, and it said “angels do this when there is a sinner who repents and puts finds Jesus Christ.” THIS WAS LITERALLY THE NIGHT AFTER I ACCEPTED JESUS AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR! So yeah. It’s pretty crazy! And what makes me even more amazed at the power of God is that this is REAL LIFE! it wasn’t a thought or anything, it was real! I just wanted to share this with you all, I hope it helps you in your faith because it truly shows God is most definitely, real
@@SierNotsruht the source is my own testimony. No point in me lying on RUclips for a random reason. I’m just saying what has happened to me personally from finding God.

My story on how I know God is real A couple of days ago now my brother and i were working on a double brick double story house,and the bricklayers were building the internal walls (to create rooms), there was a big metal bar in one of the rooms and my brother called me to move it so we can clean up the floor,I came and we took about 1 minute to move it and rest it against one of the existing already built walls,and just as we moved away from the bar to start cleaning the floors,I hear yelling and Screaming and I also see one of the 2.5 metre tall internal wall come tumbling right down and crashing all over the floor merely missing my brother and I by not even a metre from where we were standing at the time, infact my brother was so close he said he felt the wind of the edge of the wall miss his head,the scary part about all this is that about 7 seconds before the wall fell down we were standing EXACTLY where the wall fell,if we waited just a couple more seconds we both would have been dead,and we aren't even out of teenage yet. The night before I prayed to Christ that he protect my family and I,he sure did,I will never ever doubt the existence of Jesus no matter what any atheist tries to tell me now. May God bless
@@coffeeandbytes9854 i want to ask....you clearly do not belive in a God right now...but you are definitely searching for answers cause you were on this video...but what if something happened in the future and you begin to have faith in God...what would you look back and think about yourself right now
@@kimbanton4398 Atheism is ONLY a position that a person holds with respect to belief in a god(s). You see to be describing a hedonistic infanticidal maniac.
@@kimbanton4398 Why do morals directly correlate to a god? It's strange how you need someone to be looking down on you with divine judgment just to not kill someone. Morals are made up of two things, logic, and emotion. Logically you just have to get some inspiration from Kant and act in a way that if everyone did it no one would be, y'know, dead. Emotionally, of course it would feel bad to kill someone, because of evolution, we naturally have an urge to love thy neighbor because if we didn't, we'd all end up dead. Same thing applies for pretty much every species.
Thank you Heavenly Father for the resurrection that Jesus Christ could save us and the knowledge that you give me to learn more about your Glory God Bless all Y’all my Brother and Sisters
This video is a joke. I and guess a lot of the dislikes are from smart Christans themselves. 1. They obviously don't mean that there is litterly no truth. They just try to respect others people religions by saying something can be true for them. Now persenally I too think it's a bad statement. But this video has an absurd explenation for why. When people say "everyone has their own truth" they just mean that everyone deserves religious freedom and so they try to be more kind and say that all religions are equally true. In ehich the statement comes from. 2. Here you are obviously referring to the big bang theory. And it looks right you are a genious! You just debunked thousends of proffesional scientists by yourself! Are you dumb? Have you even studied this subject? Now I havn't either so don't trust me 100%. But I atleast looked intoo the damn subject. The big bang does NOT mension how the univers started, only sort of. It says that the univers started expanding a lot of time ago from a point to the gifantic thing we have now. It says nothing about matter, space, or time being created. Just that some billions of years ago, the univers started expanding. And we do not know what came before. I know there are scientific evidense for the big bang, but I don't care enough, and I am not smart enough to show you it. And let me just use your own argument agaist you. How did God get created out of simingly nothing? 3. Yes if 1:1 is true then miracales are possible. But I said in point-2, genesis 1:1 isn't true. 4. Why would people lie, when it was very taboo at the time? You could simply copy paste this argument to hinduism, buddhism, sikhism, germanic tales and almoust all other religions of the world. Why would people lie about islam? Muhammed was an outcast when he first introduced his religion, so he hadn't any motive either. Does that mean islam is true by your logic? Or maybe it spooky scary satan that created all other religions this way. Besides I am going to introduce you something called P-R-O-O-F. Saying this isn't 100% proof as it should be, when talking about science. People can lie, and I don't know the motive, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a motive that we do not know about. I have Christian friends which I very much like, and I respect all christians. But please: 1. Know that there isn't any point of arguing religion as it is obvious that even if you had valid points most people wouldn't belive you and stay with their own religions. 2. Maybe look intoo the subjects a bit more next time.
Christianity, hinduism, jewss, muslims these all relegions were sent by one god only, but later on people made intrepetrations in these relegions for their personal benefits except islam, as it was the last relegion and god said that he would protect the book Quran till the day of judgment no one would be able to change it.
I totally agree with you Dr. Frank, Christianity is based on an event : the RESURRECTION, I believe in Jesus who died for my sins according to the scriptures and was buried and rose again in the third day according to the scriptures. 1corinthians 15: 3-4
Faith alone will save you, but the bible does speak of being baptized. I did this myself last novemeber though I've been a believer all my life I was technically baptized in infancy by the catholic church but I've rejected that sect and decided to do it properly.
I believe because since I put my faith in Christ and started reading and praying, I've experienced things of the bible like holy Spirit conviction and the holy Spirit bringing up scripture for me when I needed it and spiritual warfare. My experiences proves this to me, and then I started noticing how this whole universe just cant exist from nothing without someone crafting this perfect harmonious design. Even when I didnt believe, it shook me that anything existed at all to begin with, but with God, it actually makes sense
You "testimony" is not compelling. FIRST you put your "faith" in it.....which is never an accurate path to the truth, then you convinced YOURSELF that it's true. Sorry but you've convinced yourself of nonsense
I was a terribly depressed Christian, In the end I gave up on my faith, and my depression disappeared. I did it myself. It turns out that you can do things in your own strength, but I was always told not to try, because you can't. I wish I did it years before.
I am proud to be a Christian, and above all an Orthodox Christian, unlike some other "religions", our faith has been spread by word, not by sword, not to mention all the attrocities we have endured during the centuries as well: " If the world hates you, remember it hated me before you". Greetings to all my Christian brothers and sisters, God bless you.
@@lyongreene8241 By which the Lord means : " I came to divide good from evil, to make a clear distinction, because we cannot worship and serve two masters, nor can we walk two paths". Another way this verse can be understood is as a "warning" If you will, Meaning that his teaching will cause his chosen students ( the 12 apostols) a divide from their families, and will lead them to a lot of harm. The path we as Christians have chosen to walk is not easy, but it is the righteous one. Hope this helps you understand the verse better, brother. Peace be unto you.
@@Zile98 It was also the knowledge of good and evil that got Adam and Eve thrown out of paradise, but I do agree with one notion you brought up. Jesus came to disrupt the established order, humble the greatest empire of his time and the rulers of his age. He made sure that his name hung on the lips of every ruler for several millenia to come. I believe what Jesus is saying here is that he will divide the weak from the chaft, the righteous from the unrighteous and he will do so by the sword, or the wrath and divine judgement of God Also the path Christians walk is easy. Jesus even says "my yoke is easy and my burden is light." If you're finding it burdensome to follow Jesus, you are doing it wrong. Jesus also says "a servant is not greater than his master" so if you find yourself consistentally falling short of the standard Christ set for us it is because you have made other things your master, either vanity or vice, addiction, etc.
@@lyongreene8241 Greetings brother, if i may, again try to help you see the real meaning of the verse again. So, by saying " My yoke is easy and my burden is Light" he did not mean that out path is easy. Im not trying to be smarter than you, or offend you, but you can't single out the verse and focus entirely on it, because then it makes no sense. So, what the Lord meant here is " If you are troubled, or sad, lonely, hopeless and tired. Come to me, because things that trouble you, are nothing compared to me, i will be the one that's going to help you overcome them, and in me you will find an eternal bliss. And, again the path we walk is not easy, and the Lord knows this, he knows us by name, every single one of us. By saying this, he also basically says: " I know how hard it is, i know your temptations, i was tempted before you, in a much worse way, just come to me, i will be your shield, i will be your fortress, and i will be there. Whenever you fall I will be there to help you get back up." Thank you for answering my previous comment, brother. Peace be unto you. PS: English is not my main language, so i apologise for the bad grammar.
My brother in Christ, I'm glad God lead me to your ministry teaching 👍🏼 I watched the debate between you and Chris Hutchinson his mind is depraved God gave him to his own delusions it's too bad even the students were naive and siding with shamoo wanted to say I appreciate you may God bless you and keep you 🙏🏼
There’s so many ways you could scientifically explain the existence of God but the most powerful and persuading evidence is the transformation Jesus has on the hearts of His believers 🙌🏻
Not sure why you would consider peoples belief and actions from that belief as compelling? People with strong belief in Allah, Zeus, Odin and numerous others have changed their lives for the better and felt blessed doing so. If you are willing to say they were following a wrong God, but got just as much positive change, then why does this convince you? Or in reverse there are plenty of believers who have horrific lives, do horrific things and suffer from the same amount of illness, accident and misfortune as everyone else.
all of the other religions essentially say: the life you love on earth can give you eternal life. Christianity says: Jesus alone can give you eternal life. that’s the difference
This is a great resource to be prepared like we are told in 1 Peter 3:15, “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
I seen many of God's miracles, God even saved me, and I thank Him for that, and God has healed so many of my family members and I thank Him and love Him for that, non-believers want live proof to know that God is real, but they got His word right? Well they say that's not enough, there are non-believers who have seen God's miracle with their own eyes, and yet they still won't believe :(
Yep, they even saw Jesus and still refused to believe. The problem with humans is that they know who God is, they have light and still they are rejecting it, rejecting the Truth. And that's why nobody will have any excuse in front of God. He offered us all His love and His one and only Son and we somehow decide not to accept it, turning our worship to Satan. Sad, but true
So grateful for Christian channels like this that work to educate viewers in a way that is backed by the word and full of love for the Holy Spirit. Amen!
PRAY NOW "Dear God, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen." Did you pray this prayer?

@@tomroyal6167 You realise the entire message of Christianity is completely flawed when you remember that God literally created us naturally sinful and sentenced us to death for a crime he forced us to commit, then unnecessarily sacrificed himself as some sort of loophole in the system he created so he doesn't actually have to torture us so long as we believe in him on bad evidence. And I could say anyone who believes in God is a fool. It means nothing just to say it

@@Real_Tower_Pizza I see your point but by the looks of it, you haven't researched enough regarding Turek's argument. He meant that if Zeus is true, then the other gods are false and vice versa. Zeus can't be true while bathala (philippine folk god) is also true. More importantly, Turek NEVER claimed that Bigbang stated that space, matter, and time coexist, Einstein is the one who stated it in his theory of relativity. If you will watch Turek's S.U.R.G.E. argument you will understand.
All of us Christians need to pray for Frank. He is human and not Jesus, therefore has weaknesses like all of us. He is so full of Godly wisdom that Im sure he is a huge target for Satan to try to bring down. This could effect many Christians faith who sometimes get confused over the difference between the message and the fallable human messager. So please Brothers and Sisters in the Lord let us keep him in prayer.
“If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Now is the time to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Obey His commands and repent of your sins because Jesus is coming back soon. Tomorrow isn’t promised.
@@acquiredsceptics there is the father who was the god who created the earth. The holy spirit helped people have their revelations and then took the form of the son, Jesus. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, making it easier to get to heaven and allowing his spirit to remain on earth to guide us. That is my understanding
I'm still having doubts since I'm new to this but I will say the reason Christianity is making sense is because of Jesus's act of dying on the cross. Jesus's story feels like the perfect end to all the religious stories we hear from before hand. From those stories it clearly seems God is trying different things to save mankind from pain, despair, and evil. With Jesus the Ultimate thing happens. God saves mankind from pain, despair, and evil by showing how much he loves them and dying for their sins. All he asks is for their love. And that love he's asking them to give is not for his own sake, but for the sake of the people as with his love they don't love anything in the real world enough to feel too much pain, go into despair, and do evil things. It makes the most logical sense from a moral standpoint. Also the story of Jesus with the specific miracles he performed. It wasn't like before with trying to prove that he is God or sent by God. It was to show people the point of God, and the meaninglessness of the physical world.
You're almost there. God is not "trying different things to save" us. He's had a plan from the very beginning. He knew humanity would rebel against His sovereignty and, beforehand, He had decided to give Himself as a sacrifice for our sin. Prophecies about it have been revealed throughout the whole Old Testament (Jewish scriptures), from Genesis to Zechariah, hundreds of years before Jesus' birth (please check Isaiah chapter 53 for one of the clearest prophecies about His crucifixion). Because God is Holy, as rebels, we couldn't be in full relationship with Him. Being perfectly just, He couldn't leave sin unpunished. And since He is perfectly gracious, He did what no one could ever do: suffer our death punishment, bring us back to life, and reconcile us with Himself. He rose from death so we didn't even need to carry the guilt for His sacrifice, and so we also could go back to life through Him, and live voluntarily under His authority. Here are some scriptures about it: 'You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. ' Romans 5:6-11 'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. ' Ephesians 2:8-9 'Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ' John 14:6 'The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” ' John 10:17-18 'He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.' Romans 4:25 'For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. ' Romans 14:9 May the Holy Spirit open your eyes and heart to understand and receive His grace.
What a life this is. To know God and to know he is good. Praise the Lord . Father forgive me my sins. I don’t deserve you. Teach me to abide. Help me set my sights on your kingdom. Forever thankful for your blood poorer out . Glory to God.

@J M why did I automatically know u were a Muslim before I even got to the end of ur comment😂😂😂 I can literally answer all of ur questions. Do u have any social media?
I was atheist, or really more agnostic up until I was 17 or 18. I was raised in Christian school since my youth but I really wasn't sold and it just seemed like fairy tales to me. TBH I never believed in Santa or the Easter Bunny or anything like that as a child either. It wasn't until I was sixteen or seventeen that I had my first truly undeniable paranormal experience. It is pretty wordy so I will not cover that one. Then, at seventeen or eighteen, two friends and I had a disturbing and undeniable paranormal experience ouija boarding in a cemetery. One of those friends is now a very devoted born again Christian. I brought it up with him a year or two back and asked him why he thought we saw what he did and he told me that we out out faith into the board and the occult and what it had to offer and told me that the devil has his miracles, too.
How do you know it was a paranormal experience? Ouija boards are examples of confirmation bias, plus it's frowned upon by a number of Christians. My sister had an experience with Ouija board where she held it in place and could feel the other person holding it was trying to push it to the point there's fingers went white with the force. You understand Ouija boards were invented as a board game and haven't been verified to do anything? You have low standards of evidence and poor critical thinking skills.
I sometimes have high anxiety about whether Christianity is real or not. I watch this video every time i feel this way and its always help me calm down… despite on what other people may say i will always put my faith into god and jesus… amen
Stay strong, brother. God is most definitely real, and Jesus is God. A lot of times, people just object to Christianity itself because they don't want it to be true. Their judgment is clouded by emotions. Many claim that "science" disproves Christianity. This isn't true. Their logic is flawed: you cannot have an organized, beautiful, complex universe such as this one without an intelligent God who created it. Frank is sound in many of the arguments he presents for Jesus. I don't say all only because I don't know everything he says, but his videos really helped me come to faith in Jesus. Don't stop believing, Brandon. Keep on asking Jesus to strengthen your faith and remain with Him always! ❤
Once you step outside the bubble of this delusion these arguments are pretty easy to demolish as they hinge on nothing but fallacious arguments. Frank Turek has always been terrible at actually making good points, like most religious apologists. Remember, this man’s paycheck literally depends on him promoting this tripe.
I would say read the old testament starting in genesis. Before you finish the 5th book you will be an atheist. Or just try to sort out the creation story in your head. Immortal humans made in God's image, forbidden magic tree of knowledge, talking snake controlled by Satan, why was Satan in this human paradise? God knew we would eat the fruit, why would he put it there? It's called mythology, common in nearly every culture. We are being taken advantage of by Greedy people, most of whom know it isn't true.
I absolutely loved the answer to the first question. That was such a mic drop moment. I think the other three questions deserve far more attention than this short video allows. Regardless they all seem very well thought out. Good video.
Truth does exist, nobody who's not a conspiracy theorist would deny that. What that truth says is somehow up for interpritation. The truth is; no God can be proven to be real. No god has ever been proven to exist. A text that someone wrote which says "it's true 'cause I say so" doesn't count. Find secular proofs for your claim, or just prove your claim and there'll be no atheists in the world.
@@Persholm1 saying that “no god can be proven to be real” means you’re not willing to accept any evidence. It means you’ve made up your mind regardless of what’s real
@@justinetiberio8137 there quite literally is no proof for christianity. Islam has the quran which has actual miracles. This book is fables and whispers. Jesus himself never even wrote the bible or had it written for him in his lifetime. The book is full of contradictions and disgusting stories like what Lot's daughters did to him. Jesus ate food he slept and he was not all knowing. He didnt even know the season of figs. Whenever he did miracles he prayed You worship a man Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” John 11:41 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. John 5:30 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. John 14:28 See we muslims see a man who cried and prayed humbly to God with miracles and he claims to have been sent by God. We join him in worship to worship our true Creator Allah. But Satan made you worship the worshipper
@@justinetiberio8137 As an atheist, I was looking for a video similar to this. Atheism is not a belief in no God, but the disbelief in one. I do not firmly have a belief that there is no God, just enough doubt to not guarantee it. It is still important to be educated, and learn what every side is saying. Whilst this video did not convince me, it was still useful to gain a better perspective on everyone's opinions, I agree that many atheists are too firm in their belief to be open minded, but I assure you that some of us are willing to change our opinions given enough evidence
@@kritorin6274 If you wanna see God literally He said in the scripture no one can see Him and live because if we see God in our own two eyes we will die that's why Moses didn't see God's face but the scripture says if you seek Him you will find Him.

This video is a joke, and I am guessing a lot of the dislikes are from smart Christans themselves. 1. They obviously don't mean that there is litterly no truth. They just try to respect others people religions by saying something can be true for them. Now persenally I too think it's a bad statement. But this video has an absurd explenation for why. When people say "everyone has their own truth" they just mean that everyone deserves religious freedom and so they try to be more kind and say that all religions are equally true. In ehich the statement comes from. 2. Here you are obviously referring to the big bang theory. And it looks right you are a genious! You just debunked thousends of proffesional scientists by yourself! Are you dumb? Have you even studied this subject? Now I havn't either so don't trust me 100%. But I atleast looked intoo the damn subject. The big bang does NOT mension how the univers started, only sort of. It says that the univers started expanding a lot of time ago from a point to the gifantic thing we have now. It says nothing about matter, space, or time being created. Just that some billions of years ago, the univers started expanding. And we do not know what came before. I know there are scientific evidense for the big bang, but I don't care enough, and I am not smart enough to show you it. And let me just use your own argument agaist you. How did God get created out of simingly nothing? 3. Yes if 1:1 is true then miracales are possible. But I said in point-2, genesis 1:1 isn't true. 4. Why would people lie, when it was very taboo at the time? You could simply copy paste this argument to hinduism, buddhism, sikhism, germanic tales and almoust all other religions of the world. Why would people lie about islam? Muhammed was an outcast when he first introduced his religion, so he hadn't any motive either. Does that mean islam is true by your logic? Or maybe it spooky scary satan that created all other religions this way. Besides I am going to introduce you something called P-R-O-O-F. Saying this isn't 100% proof as it should be, when talking about science. People can lie, and I don't know the motive, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a motive that we do not know about. I have Christian friends which I very much like, and I respect all christians. But please: 1. Know that there isn't any point of arguing religion as it is obvious that even if you had valid points most people wouldn't belive you and stay with their own religions. 2. Maybe look into the subjects a bit more next time.

@nickj14711 apologies for the delay, life stuff, kids etc. Also, wanted to give ye a reply in case their site doesn't. On a side, I don't agree with everything Frank says, but with my world-view, this video makes sense. Anyway, I'll try address yer points, in order, as best I can. 1. Relativists say truth is only relative to the individual. If ye say absolute truth exists, then I have to ask poss the most profound question found in the bible. "What is truth?" 2. General consensus (so far as I know) for big bang says there was nothing before. Then, something happened to nothing (scientifically impossible), and, long story short, here we are. Thus is the reasoning for the uncaused 1st cause. There had to be something to provide the material needed for said singularity to occur. It is reasoned that this comes from outside our current 4 dimensions of space-time. The 5th dimension. The end of Interstellar depicts the 5th dimension quite well. It's a similar idea to the universe-making machine. Why not such a machine? The fine-tuning of the universe. The numbers are just insane. Even DNA, the scientific"Book of life". Exact instructions on how to build an arm/leg etc. and for every living being? Would have to be a very personal intelligence.. uncomfortably so. Can ye get information without intellect? A uni-making machine would have to be even more fine-tuned to produce our universe. I've often likened God to the programmer and existence to the program. Frank didn't lie. God is a title, not a name. I know Him as Yahweh (YHVH), whereas you might say power/entity or the like. 3. I would cite Google's definition of miracle. 4. Yer question gives me the impression that ye haven't read it, or know it's history and culture (like most who claim to follow Christ I reckon). Which 4 of it's main claims are ye referring to? I'm guessing the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Christ? I'd say maybe look at the book of "Acts" and subsequent letters to believers of the time. The actions(and reactions) of the disciples and apostles and the persecutions they endured, point to it happening, not the contrary. What did they, or Christ, gain from their actions? As to contemporary evidence, we can't re-resurrect Christ, so it's more of a history lesson than anything else. There are extra-biblical sources, but ye'll have to do the research and weigh it up for yourself, as I do. Finally, the Romans(aside from maybe 1 instance)didn't take any interest in Christ till he was brought to Pontius Pilate, and since then, though they screwed with it big-time, they brought it to the rest of the world. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I disagree with most of church "doctrine". No Christmas, no Easter, no Sunday Sabbath etc.(see new2torah for more on that. Though, again, I don't agree with everything, I do test it). I hope this addresses yer points well enough, and thanks for the response. Blessings, j.
Again, my apologies. Seems the only quiet time I have is at this time of night. Anyhoo, I welcome the discussion. On yer first point, there's no difference. was using"absolute" to differentiate from the"relative"truth position. 2. Not nothing, but the singularity. I concede, fair enough, but what/who provided the materials and conditions needed for said singularity? The fine-tuning is partly in the expansion itself. Too quick/slow an expansion would not have produced our universe. RNA and DNA are two different acids. One is not responsible for the other. Almost yer entire argument is from incredulity. Why is it so hard for ye to conceive that a "mind" created something complex? Especially after positing a uni-making machine?!? I'd say it's logical to say, if there's a painting, then a painter, a building, then a builder, a song, then a musician, a creation then a creator. Also, I didn't ask"what"-thought I knew that- I asked"why?". 3. Google def is fine " an extraordinary and welcome event that's not explicable by natural/scientific laws. If big bang was explained, it wouldn't be a theory. 4. Ye didn't spec, so I had to hazard a guess. If ye gonna make an appeal to authority in Hawking, then I could use God as mine. In either case, yer worldview has a proverbial gun that started it off, mine puts a hand on the gun. Evolution cannot use the scientific method as proof. At best, once again, ye have a theory, not fact. Can you give any credible evidence as to as change in kinds of species? If yer gonna bring morality into it, then you've no ground to stand upon. All ye have is a subjective stance. Who are ye to say what's moral and what isn't? Am I saying yer immoral? Certainly not! Yer made in His image after all. What contemporary sources are ye looking for, for something that happened with a very specific individual 2000 years ago? Not sure what yer after there..if ye could elaborate, that'd be grand. Blessings,j.
@nickj14711 yeah dude I'm seeing your name all over the place still asking the same 4 questions. While hiding your sins by justifing you morality where ever your morality even comes from. All a scientific theory is is just a theory that is widely accepted as true but still remains a theory none the less. You can check out the wiki page and see it for your self. It says "widely accepted" it also meantions things that cant be tested thus abductive reasoning to conclude the theory. And abductive reasoning doesnt always verify something as true. Evolution is merely a theory along with the big bang. You sir are dishonest. When are you going to admit your sins Mr. Jones? And how are you going to just your morals Mr. Jones?
꧁King ꧂ the knowledge of God is in these scriptures - “If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished.” Exodus 21:20 “But if the slave recovers within a day or two, then the owner shall not be punished, since the slave is his property.” Exodus 21:21

@@MrLightning20 Dispensationalism. You take the verses out of context, since they weren't written for our time. Most of the OT, minus prophecies in Daniel, for example, were written for the Israelites, and people before Jesus' time. the NT, is for us, now, also for Saints and Jews during the tribulation. We take lessons from the OT, we don't follow EVERYTHING it says, since it isn't for us to live by.
@@waldenh7668 in which context is it okey to own other people as property and to beat them and go unpunished? Was it okey then for the Israelites to own people as property and beat them but not for others to do that? Jesus didnt have an issue with the old testament.
There is creation, therefore there is a Creator. The Creator is outside the creation, therefore questions we can ask about the creation (such as:"what is the origin") are not applicable to the Creator (He is eternal).
A few questions; 1. In that case, who created God? And if God could create themselves, then with that criteria couldn't space, matter and time create themselves? 2. About the Jews having no reason why to create the New Testament: People do things that contradict them and change their minds all the time, how can you be sure that just because someone had no clear motovation to do something it makes it real? We weren't there, we have no clue what happened. 3. If God has done so many things for humanity, then how come they haven't showed up in so long? I mean, how long ago was the last time God preformed one of their miracles like the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, the resurrection of Jesus, etc.? What happened? (And by miracle I mean the kind of stuff that made it into the Bible). 4. The Christian God is all loving, but if that's true, how can evil exist? I've heard people say it's because "God loves us so much they gave us freewill", but that only answers the question "why can we do evil?", not why evil exists in the first place. If evil didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to do it, not because God erased that option for us, but because the option wouldn't exist in the first place. 5. Kind of on that same note: Why do phycopaths exist? These people don't choose to not feel empathy, guilt or shame. They're just born that way, no choice. And how can you expect someon eto be good when the very things that stop us from being bad don't exist for them? Why would God create someone like that? Anyway, those are just a few questions I have that don't make sense to me. Personally I can't believe in something unless it makes sense to me or/and I have solid evidence, that's why I'm agnostic. But I respect your beliefs.
Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._* And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position. 1. I personally have never observed a god. 2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god. 3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity. 4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists. 5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises. 6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon. 7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._ 8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event. 9. Every phenomenon that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity. 10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable. ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god. I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._* I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
@@FaithfulFoxMinistries05 No. You are wrong. I do not believe that the universe made itself out of nothing. And you are a coward to suggest so. Here are a questions you will not have the courage to answer DIRECTLY. WATCH!!! They are straightforward questions that require a simple 'yes' or 'no' response. And, if you are an honest person would simply answer with a direct "yes" or "no". But you will demonstrate you are not honest. Watch. 1) Do you know my beliefs and convictions better than I? Yes or no. 2) Did I state or even suggest that I "believe the universe made itself out nothing"?

Only four questions eh! Should be pretty easy to deal with those because if they really are simple 'yes' or 'no' questions, as Mr Turek claims, then there are only three possible answers... the third one being 'I don't know', which is a perfectly reasonable answer, especially when dealing with issues which are subject to much conflicting speculation and varying hypotheses. So the first answer is clearly 'yes'. There are some claims which are true and which can be demonstrated to be so by overwhelming empirical evidence and multiple observations and experiments (distilled water boils at 100 degrees C at average sea level air pressure for example). Such scientific and demonstrable 'facts' always have to carry the qualification that they are subject to change and amendment if new information becomes available (which is why all 'Scientific Theories' and the 'facts deduced from them are provisional). Moral or philosophical questions of course are not subject to being proven or disproven by empirical evidence and so they have to be excluded from the scope of this question. The answer to the second question is obviously 'I don't know', but as we have no good evidence for this claim (none whatsoever) then it is reasonable to conclude that it is extremely unlikely to be true. All that waffle Mr Turek engaged in about his "Uncreated Creator" is just meaningless drivel and unevidenced assertions, and 'what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence'. Mr Turek asserts (without citing any evidence) that "...space, matter, and time had a beginning out of nothing" and apart from the fact that Mr Turek does not specify his definition of 'nothing', I do not know of a single physicist or cosmologist who would agree that we know this to be an established 'fact'. Mr Turek is just spouting dowright lies here. The third question is a dog's breakfast as Mr Turek conflates and confuses (deliberately I think) the words 'true' and 'possible'. If it is true that a god created the world and the universe as described in the first chapter of the Christian Bible then of course miracles are ' possible'. But we have no evidence for this at all and all the conclusive scientific evidence (without exception) is consistent with current theories of cosmology and geology - and so they would be, because Scientific Theories are, by definition, the best and most widely accepted explanation that is consistent with the available evidence. The answer to this question is another 'don't know' but we can add that the absence of any good evidence makes it highly improbable. The answer to the fourth question is an emphatic 'no' because while we cannot know for certain whether unverified and unevidenced claims are true, we can make an assessment of the reliability of what supposed evidence we do have. I don't know if Mr Turek has done any studying or training in the evaluation of historical evidence (I'm afraid that the rubbish they teach in Yankee theological and Bible Colleges doesn't really count), but I have, and I can say without fear of contradiction (on any reasonable grounds) that the New Testament, and the four canonical gospels in particular, are not just very weak and unreliable evidence but they are also mutually incompatible and are contradicted by claims which are supported by much stronger evidence. I cannot say that I know that the gospels are all completely fictitious, just as I cannot say for certain that the character of 'Jesus Christ' (Yeshua ben Ioseph) never existed. What I can say for certain is that we have no good evidence for the supposed words or deeds, let alone the miracles and the resurrection, of this person and that the complete absence of any eye-witness accounts or contemporary records makes a strong case for him being a mythical or euhemerised character. This does not prove beyond any doubt that the New Testament stories are false but it does indicate that we have no good reasons to believe that they are true and accurate. Mr Turek's final claim to know what did and did not motivate the authors of the gospels (people whose real names, cities or countries of residence, and biographical details are all mysteries to us) and to 'know' that there was an empty tomb in Jerusalem are just more dishonest and mendacious claptrap. So the final total is: 1 x YES (with the qualifications mentioned) 2 x DON'T KNOW 1 x NO (absolutely and emphatically). Hardly a well argued case, and it fails on the balance of probabilities, let alone on the standard of 'proof beyond reasonable doubt.'
the first 3 have nothing to do with Christianity. For the 4th, Miracles and resurrections occur in the texts of many other religions, from a Christian perspective these are not true, what reason did the writers of those texts have to lie?
@lary Snw whaaaaaat? The Bible says something will happen, and then later in the book, the Bible says it happened??? That’s *crazy* Crazy that that’s enough to convince anyone.
Also, every religion has a closed tomb which belongs to their prophets showing no proof of resurection. While Christianity has an open tomb showing someone resurected in it
Atheists do more work in trying to defend their reasons not to believe in Christian worldview, and not the worldviews of other faiths. Which, for me, adds to reasons why I DO believe in the Biblical worldview of God.💒
Not a lot of Hindus and Buddhists trying to institute their faith into public institutions... Are there? In case you were wondering, I find your god as believable as Thor the god of thunder..
@@Kaymen1980 I know this is going to shock you right out of your jock strap, Biblical theism is already inculcated in American law and government.

Your accountability. So, I wasn't wondering on that. HAHAHAHAHA!
Tsuruta1 Exactly. So put two and two together now.. Why do you think atheists in America mostly debate Christians? I don’t need to defend myself from you or your god.. You are the one who needs the defense, hence apologetics. Oh yeah.. You think Christian fundamentalists wrote the first amendment to protect those of other faiths, just to call them fools after the fact?
@@Kaymen1980 You're defending yourself right now. And apologetics wouldn't be needed, if atheists elected to just not believe. Instead, you have your Dawkins, your Hitchens, and your Harris, writing books, and speaking in their public forums, that is why we have apologetics. And, the 1st Amendment in out nation, one of many reasons, of course. And the FFs were of various denomination of Christianity. Much to your chagrin I'm sure.
Tsuruta1 Rewind.. You said: _”Atheists do more to defend their reasons not to believe in Christian worldview and not the world views of other faiths.”_ Therefore you take that as one more reason that testifies to the validity of Christianity.. I pointed to the fact that you are an American, and America is filled with Christians... You haven’t countered this, as much as you made the case for me. What worldview do you think atheists in Syria and Afghanistan encounter the most? So according to your reasoning, Islam is the one true religion depending on where you live... How do you like your argument now? You also need apologetics for science, competing religions, basically the reality Hitches, Dawkins etc. are appealing to, which won’t go away no matter how hard you try and deny it. Therefore you are not only defending your faith from my worldview, you are actively denying it through willful ignorance. Where I am defending myself from you, is when you impose your beliefs on my rights as human being. I absolutely acknowledge that some of the founding fathers were Christians, it is a fact. But do you acknowledge that there were also deists and atheists? Do you acknowledge that you are at odds with the first amendment when you want to introduce god into the classrooms and legislation?
the only thing thats gonna make your life change is when you go to hell at the day of judgement as being a desbeliever Say to those who disbelieve: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place.
Imagine becoming an atheist because the pastors were exploiting religion. Every person on Earth could become evil and I would still believe in God because he's not responsible for what humans do and still exists as the creator of our universe regardless of what happens in this world. Look up the Prime Mover argument.
@@discipledylan The fact that the universe came from something doesn't prove Christianity. I'll try to justify my discontent with Christianity now. My experiences in life so far have all been explainable through science. It has all been cohesive. So if 500 people say "I saw some guy after he died" I will, of course, assume pretty much any other logical scenario that isn't "a resurrection happened.". And what does he mean by saying they had no motive? how would you possibly prove the motive of someone 2k years later? They could have way more easily just wanted power after seeing Jesuses following or maybe they were just delusional. When it comes down to it, if I can't know why something happened, I'll assume that the explanation coheres to reality. You can believe whatever you want, if your way of looking at things is different, Christianity could totally be logical, it's just not my sense of logic, or a lot of other atheist's logic. If that makes any sense.

I'm Christian, and that text at the end rings 100% true with me: I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. Even if I left the faith I simply cannot believe that an ultimate higher being (or simply God) did NOT create the universe. For me it's either Christ or agnosticism.

Very good video, thanks for summing it up like this so I can tell people easily. Just a point to add to the second thing, when you say we know what created the universe existed outside of space matter and time, and also we know that He is intelligent and personal, we know these last two points because he chose to create the universe. When the state of something changes someone made a choice, or something happened in a chain reaction caused by a choice. Sort of like dominos, I didn't push the 10th one, but I pushed the 1st one, so if someone says it was the big bang, who caused that? Obviously powerful speaks for itself.
Um sorry but no. I respect that you believe it’s your god, but that’s not an actual factual explanation that can be demonstrated. You want to believe it that’s fine, but to say it is _the_ only possible explanation? No.

Your fallacious arguments are mind boggling. Your claim that: “You have to have more faith to believe it didn’t occur, than it did”, is a fallacy known as proving a negative, where the burden of proof is shifted onto the one disagreeing with claim, rather than the person making the claim that a particular thing exists or happens. It would be the same as me saying: It requires more faith to believe a balrog wasn’t in my room yesterday, than the faith required to believe it did.
You call fallacy even if you can't understand? Do you know the whole history? At first the Apostles ran away, they were afraid, terrified! After the resurrection they simply didn't care about their lives anymore, they went preaching, what kind of event if not seen Christ again could make such behavior change? More than 500 people saw the resurrected Jesus and were willing to die for testifying that. This is documented inside and outside of the Bible. There are 31 sources for Jesus. Considering the fact that the Roman Empire the most powerful on earth at the time and all Jerusalem's most powerful men also couldn't find Jesus body, the way Christianity spreaded all over the way it did, with so many people changing their lives, the converting of Paul, a Roman trained assassin designed to search and kill Christians, what kind of event would make a man like that to convert as a Christian if not seeing Jesus resurrected himself? The only reason he went there was to kill Christians... Paul's testemonial was so strong when he got back, considering who he was, that Romans themselves started converting and year later the whole empire became Christian! To imagine all that just didn't happen considering all the historical facts around it does require way more faith indeed! All the historical evidence collaborate with the New Testament, it's the most scrutinized book in history and no one could show any discrepancy between it and the other sources, Romans, Jewish, etc... To believe it was all a lie considering 2021 years of studying and no one could find any refutation, it's indeed just an act of faith...
@N58 Jaramillo Dude, calm down. If the writers of a book claiming to be the word of God *didn't* foresee pushback that would be surprising. It wouldn't have taken a genius to realise that people who disagree would exist.
@N58 Jaramillo I never said it was "just a book", and whether it's a compilation or not is irrelevant. You chose to focus in on one detail and ignore my entire argument debunking the argument that you went on to type a whole paragraph reiterating. Did you even read my reply?
@N58 Jaramillo If I were to write a religious book today and include a line saying a lot of people will ridicule it, I would merely be stating the obvious. I could even include a line stating that you would disbelieve, and you would obviously fulfill that "prophecy", but the point is that would *not* be evidence that the book is reliable or containing any profound truth, merely that it's writer (s) had common sense.
@N58 Jaramillo Uh...okay? First of all, baselessly attacking my character makes your argument weaker, secondly you're goin on a *very* long rant of what seems to be everything that popped into your head upon reading my comment, yet you didn't actually address my point. I'm not here to debunk the whole religion for you, and I really don't have the motivation to try. Either stay on topic or give me a good reason to listen to your Biblical assertions.
Which God was that? Christian, Hindu, Islamic or other? Similar stories can be found in all of them, so hard to know which you are giving props to when they are equally likely.
I was an atheist and a radical leftist anarchist. I was interested in the occult and listened to satanic black metal. Now I'm a real man of god. This video most probably won't convince anyone, but what could convince someone it's the fact that Christianity teaches to repent and forgive. That is exactly what keeps you from knowing god and having perfect peace. Do an introspection, realize that you're wrong, realize that there is evil in you and you don't have internal peace, meditate and ask god, nature, the universe or whatever you believe to show you what's wrong. Then go and forgive the people that did you wrong. You will find god, peace and you will never be angry ever again. If you're a male you will become an alpha male, a real man!
@@blackandblueeagleyeah right... now everything its structural and man made. like it or not we are half beast and half divine. Just like animals in nature there is Alpha males and Beta males! BETA!
@@vmellaz It's true that some men are more socially dominant than others. The idea that social dominance could somehow correlate to belief, or that you can choose to become socially dominant, is frankly silly. Societal hierarchies are in large part determined by genetics.

Once you repent and forgive, you will have no fear, you will think with clarity, you will be logical, you won't feel inferior to anyone, you won't be emotional like a woman, you will lead by the example, etc. You will be a true alpha. People believe that a bunch of muscle and some strength makes you an alpha male but they are wrong. Just look at the great white hope president Trump or Dan Peña
@@vmellaz I'm sorry sir, but in terms of the alpha/beta debate you're on the empirical losing side. The irony of bringing up Trump, a crybaby who becomes offended when he feels even a subtle slight directed his way, as a quintessential alpha male, is profound. It's sort of sad to see how your rhetoric is directed at people who are unsatisfied with themselves: people who are fearful, can't think clearly, are illogical, or don't feel secure in their masculinity. It's possible to feel better about yourself without turning to a religion. I know that because I am in the process of doing it.
The crucifixion site was found outside of Jerusalem's Damascus Gate between the years 1979-1982 by an amateur archaeologist named Ron Wyatt. Additionally, at the Golgatha escarpment (also known as Charles Gordon's Calvary), he found approximately 20 feet below present ground level the seal stone linking it to the Garden Tomb, where unbeknownst to most, in the wall thereof today is a sheaved off iron pin, proven in the year 2002 to be of ancient roman origin, once used to seal the tomb, which would've required a force of 60-80 tons to so level with the wall, proving the Bible's testimony of Jesus' Resurrection and supernatural opening of the tomb.

You cannot prove that anything you do matters and has value, yet you act like it does. At least in the Christian faith, there are the conditions which prove value.

@Leon Discuss "you're" not "your".. the shroud is definitely a fraud; but to say the dead sea scrolls are demonstrates extreme ignorance; I'm not aware of any serious scholar who claims they are forgeries
Ahh yes another uneducated muslim crying, explain everything he said wrong. Bet you can't, Why? Well because I first detected in your comment you just start by saying Islam is true, but what is true about it? Instead of pointing out all the wrong things he said in this video you decide to keep yourself foolish. You want us to respect your religion but what do you guys do in return, hate our religion? EXACTLY. So let me show you another reason why your religion doesn't really mean anything. Quran 54:1 talks about the splitting of the moon by prophet muhammad. There are multiple people who witnessed the event( in the quran only). Yet how come those were the only people who saw it? If the moon split everyone would've seen it in night. And trust me they would've written articles about it. But they didn't. So only the people in the quran saw it meaning his miracle is false. Reason 2: Your religion talks about Jesus alot. In the Bible Jesus was seen drinking alcohol alot of times. So surely that means he is not muslim because Muslims can't drink alcohol. Jesus was also never seen drinking alcohol in the quran. That creates 2 visions of Jesus. But here is why Jesus in Christianity is true. First in the quran it says that Jesus was born from a virgin. (Surah 3 Al Imran and 19 Maryam. However the quran was written (not given) in 609 CE. 609 years after the birth of Jesus. Meaning quran only talks about Jesus after 609 years, where that time he was no longer on earth? The new testament was written between 50 CE and 120 CE. With that knowledge the new testament was also written somewhere after Jesus resurrected. That means that the new testament came 559 years before the quran was even a thing. Now there are two reasons why Jesus is in quran and why Jesus is in Bible. The Jesus in the quran was copied form the Bible version and was changed a bit up. Because all the eye witnesses of Jesus is only mentioned in Bible which means the Quran is copied. But apart from that if your quran is from allah directly and all the historical, scientifical, and other mistakes. And allah is all knowing. That means allah is not all knowing because why would he make a mistake. So if there is a mistake in the quran that means allah made a mistake but allah is all knowing meaning he is not God but only one God and that is the God in Christianity. I don't want you to convert or anything I'm just trying to say don't get big mouth and repent before it's to late. Thank you

If you’re trying to prove the existence of an all powerful god and one of your key arguments is the question “does god exist,” I don’t think it’s a very good argument.
The video was "Is Christianity true" in order to answer which religion is right, we presuppose there is a God, since Islam believes in a God, Hinduism believes in gods, Pantheists believe im god, so to answer which one is right, one has to assert that God exists, you can look at his proper arguments in his channel
Deut. 13, invalidates the idea that just because Jesus was resurrected, this proves his divinity! The chapter clearly tells us, that God tests us, to see if we worship ONLY Him, by sending those who do signs and wonders, but then try and lead us away from the worship of our ONE God, who gave us the law!!

"New Testament writers did not create the RESURRECTION, the RESURRECTION created the new Testament writers". That hit me so hard.
No proof for the resurrection, only hearsay.
Forgot to mention that they died for the messiah as martyrs. They wouldn't do that for a lie.
!!EDIT!!
Before you comment, please note that I am well aware of people dying for their religious beliefs nowadays too.
What I ment was this. They were THE eyewitnesses of Jesus's dwelling and death. His disciples were the only ones able to rightly judge whether the whole Jesus thing was legit or false. THEY KNEW IT, nobody just told them nor did they read stories of sb. They LIVED with Jesus!
Today, in order to question the gospel, many accuse them of willingly implementing a lie. All I'm saying is, nobody lays down ones life willingly for a made up hoax fabricated by yourself. Therefore the explanation the disciples were deliberately lying and confirming that lie the their own death is highly unlikely and illogical.
Thats summed up of the resurrection of Jesus in and of itself. Christian writers of the NT would have to be completely INSANE to give up their life this way if the resurrection didnt exist. Even I wouldn't believe the NT, but cries out too much alertness and surety for me not to believe.
You would find Islamists and other fanatics able to die for something you would saw as a lie. Especially, if christians believed in ressurection and next life.
Paul before his journey to Damascus was one of the most powerful men in the region. He had wealth, knowledge, and authority. His sole mission was to seek out Christ believers and kill them... he gave it all up to ensure the true Word of God was known to the world. As he was being lead to have his head cut off he was still sharing the Good News and the Legionnaire walking him to the block kneeled with him for he too had accepted Christ and was going to martyr alongside Paul.

After gabbi, my sister, helped me give my life to Christ, we read the Bible and I learned about God until night came. When it was time to go to bed, I slept on the top bunk, and her on the bottom. I remember sleeping, and literally my dream was amazing. All I saw were words of what I had learned about God, and it was a whole prayer, IN MY DREAM! I was praying subconsciously and the words I was praying were popping out as I said them in color, and the previous words I said would disappear! I remember waking up from that, and being like “woah! thank you God!”. My sister asked me if I was awake, and I said yes. I asked her what time it was, and guess what she said! 3:05 am! I asked her when did she wake up and she said “literally like 5 minutes ago!” I started telling her about my dream, and she said she had a crazy one too! She said in her dream, she saw 3 angels around me! One on my right holding my shoulder, one on the left holding my shoulder, and then one in the middle standing tall behind me! AND GUESS FREAKING WHAT! THEY WERE PRAYING OVER ME!!! JUST LIKE IN MY DREAM WITH THE PRAYERS! and after this, I looked up what the meaning of the angels were, and it said “angels do this when there is a sinner who repents and puts finds Jesus Christ.” THIS WAS LITERALLY THE NIGHT AFTER I ACCEPTED JESUS AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR!

The night before I prayed to Christ that he protect my family and I,he sure did,I will never ever doubt the existence of Jesus no matter what any atheist tries to tell me now. May God bless

This video is a joke. I and guess a lot of the dislikes are from smart Christans themselves.
1. They obviously don't mean that there is litterly no truth. They just try to respect others people religions by saying something can be true for them. Now persenally I too think it's a bad statement. But this video has an absurd explenation for why. When people say "everyone has their own truth" they just mean that everyone deserves religious freedom and so they try to be more kind and say that all religions are equally true. In ehich the statement comes from.
2. Here you are obviously referring to the big bang theory. And it looks right you are a genious! You just debunked thousends of proffesional scientists by yourself! Are you dumb? Have you even studied this subject? Now I havn't either so don't trust me 100%. But I atleast looked intoo the damn subject. The big bang does NOT mension how the univers started, only sort of. It says that the univers started expanding a lot of time ago from a point to the gifantic thing we have now. It says nothing about matter, space, or time being created. Just that some billions of years ago, the univers started expanding. And we do not know what came before.
I know there are scientific evidense for the big bang, but I don't care enough, and I am not smart enough to show you it.
And let me just use your own argument agaist you. How did God get created out of simingly nothing?
3. Yes if 1:1 is true then miracales are possible. But I said in point-2, genesis 1:1 isn't true.
4. Why would people lie, when it was very taboo at the time?
You could simply copy paste this argument to hinduism, buddhism, sikhism, germanic tales and almoust all other religions of the world. Why would people lie about islam? Muhammed was an outcast when he first introduced his religion, so he hadn't any motive either. Does that mean islam is true by your logic? Or maybe it spooky scary satan that created all other religions this way.
Besides I am going to introduce you something called P-R-O-O-F. Saying this isn't 100% proof as it should be, when talking about science. People can lie, and I don't know the motive, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a motive that we do not know about.
I have Christian friends which I very much like, and I respect all christians. But please:
1. Know that there isn't any point of arguing religion as it is obvious that even if you had valid points most people wouldn't belive you and stay with their own religions.
2. Maybe look intoo the subjects a bit more next time.

Well, that is bcuz a belief helped motivate you. How does that prove the religion?
How do you know it wasn't a delusion? People believing in their Gods are also cured from depression.
First of all the solution is a house of cards.
I was a terribly depressed Christian, In the end I gave up on my faith, and my depression disappeared. I did it myself. It turns out that you can do things in your own strength, but I was always told not to try, because you can't. I wish I did it years before.
I am proud to be a Christian, and above all an Orthodox Christian, unlike some other "religions", our faith has been spread by word, not by sword, not to mention all the attrocities we have endured during the centuries as well: " If the world hates you, remember it hated me before you". Greetings to all my Christian brothers and sisters, God bless you.

@@lyongreene8241 By which the Lord means : " I came to divide good from evil, to make a clear distinction, because we cannot worship and serve two masters, nor can we walk two paths". Another way this verse can be understood is as a "warning" If you will, Meaning that his teaching will cause his chosen students ( the 12 apostols) a divide from their families, and will lead them to a lot of harm. The path we as Christians have chosen to walk is not easy, but it is the righteous one. Hope this helps you understand the verse better, brother. Peace be unto you.
@@Zile98 It was also the knowledge of good and evil that got Adam and Eve thrown out of paradise, but I do agree with one notion you brought up. Jesus came to disrupt the established order, humble the greatest empire of his time and the rulers of his age. He made sure that his name hung on the lips of every ruler for several millenia to come. I believe what Jesus is saying here is that he will divide the weak from the chaft, the righteous from the unrighteous and he will do so by the sword, or the wrath and divine judgement of God
Also the path Christians walk is easy. Jesus even says "my yoke is easy and my burden is light." If you're finding it burdensome to follow Jesus, you are doing it wrong. Jesus also says "a servant is not greater than his master" so if you find yourself consistentally falling short of the standard Christ set for us it is because you have made other things your master, either vanity or vice, addiction, etc.
@@lyongreene8241 Greetings brother, if i may, again try to help you see the real meaning of the verse again.
So, by saying " My yoke is easy and my burden is Light" he did not mean that out path is easy. Im not trying to be smarter than you, or offend you, but you can't single out the verse and focus entirely on it, because then it makes no sense.
So, what the Lord meant here is " If you are troubled, or sad, lonely, hopeless and tired. Come to me, because things that trouble you, are nothing compared to me, i will be the one that's going to help you overcome them, and in me you will find an eternal bliss.
And, again the path we walk is not easy, and the Lord knows this, he knows us by name, every single one of us.
By saying this, he also basically says: " I know how hard it is, i know your temptations, i was tempted before you, in a much worse way, just come to me, i will be your shield, i will be your fortress, and i will be there. Whenever you fall I will be there to help you get back up." Thank you for answering my previous comment, brother. Peace be unto you.

My brother in Christ, I'm glad God
lead me to your ministry teaching 👍🏼
I watched the debate between you and
Chris Hutchinson his mind is depraved
God gave him to his own delusions
it's too bad even the students were
naive and siding with shamoo
wanted to say I appreciate you
may God bless you and keep you 🙏🏼
You're glad that God lead you to a liar? He says evolution is fake because *he* thinks it's "too comlpex"...
There’s so many ways you could scientifically explain the existence of God but the most powerful and persuading evidence is the transformation Jesus has on the hearts of His believers 🙌🏻
Not sure why you would consider peoples belief and actions from that belief as compelling? People with strong belief in Allah, Zeus, Odin and numerous others have changed their lives for the better and felt blessed doing so. If you are willing to say they were following a wrong God, but got just as much positive change, then why does this convince you? Or in reverse there are plenty of believers who have horrific lives, do horrific things and suffer from the same amount of illness, accident and misfortune as everyone else.
all of the other religions essentially say: the life you love on earth can give you eternal life. Christianity says: Jesus alone can give you eternal life. that’s the difference
This is a great resource to be prepared like we are told in 1 Peter 3:15, “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
thanks for the sermon
I seen many of God's miracles, God even saved me, and I thank Him for that, and God has healed so many of my family members and I thank Him and love Him for that, non-believers want live proof to know that God is real, but they got His word right? Well they say that's not enough, there are non-believers who have seen God's miracle with their own eyes, and yet they still won't believe :(
Yep, they even saw Jesus and still refused to believe. The problem with humans is that they know who God is, they have light and still they are rejecting it, rejecting the Truth. And that's why nobody will have any excuse in front of God. He offered us all His love and His one and only Son and we somehow decide not to accept it, turning our worship to Satan. Sad, but true
If I see Mr blue sky I would be hallucinating
So grateful for Christian channels like this that work to educate viewers in a way that is backed by the word and full of love for the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Does god talk to you??.....
If not how do you know he is real.......Muslims\hindus get feelings they have the spirit of god...Are they wrong

Now persenally I too think it's a bad statement. But this video has an absurd explenation for why. When people say "everyone has their own truth" they just mean that everyone deserves religious freedom and so they try to be more kind and say that all religions are equally true. In ehich the statement comes from.
2. Here you are obviously referring to the big bang theory. And it looks right you are a genious! You just debunked thousends of proffesional scientists by yourself! Are you dumb? Have you even studied this subject? Now I havn't either so don't trust me 100%. But I atleast looked intoo the damn subject. The big bang does NOT mension how the univers started, only sort of. It says that the univers started expanding a lot of time ago from a point to the gifantic thing we have now. It says nothing about matter, space, or time being created. Just that some billions of years ago, the univers started expanding. And we do not know what came before.
I know there are scientific evidense for the big bang, but I don't care enough, and I am not smart enough to show you it.
And let me just use your own argument agaist you. How did God get created out of simingly nothing?
3. Yes if 1:1 is true then miracales are possible. But I said in point-2, genesis 1:1 isn't true.
4. Why would people lie, when it was very taboo at the time?
You could simply copy paste this argument to hinduism, buddhism, sikhism, germanic tales and almoust all other religions of the world. Why would people lie about islam? Muhammed was an outcast when he first introduced his religion, so he hadn't any motive either. Does that mean islam is true by your logic? Or maybe it spooky scary satan that created all other religions this way.
Besides I am going to introduce you something called P-R-O-O-F. Saying this isn't 100% proof as it should be, when talking about science. People can lie, and I don't know the motive, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a motive that we do not know about.
I have Christian friends which I very much like, and I respect all christians. But please:
1. Know that there isn't any point of arguing religion as it is obvious that even if you had valid points most people wouldn't belive you and stay with their own religions.

He meant that if Zeus is true, then the other gods are false and vice versa. Zeus can't be true while bathala (philippine folk god) is also true.
More importantly, Turek NEVER claimed that Bigbang stated that space, matter, and time coexist, Einstein is the one who stated it in his theory of relativity. If you will watch Turek's S.U.R.G.E. argument you will understand.

All of us Christians need to pray for Frank. He is human and not Jesus, therefore has weaknesses like all of us.

So please Brothers and Sisters in the Lord let us keep him in prayer.
“If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Now is the time to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Obey His commands and repent of your sins because Jesus is coming back soon. Tomorrow isn’t promised.
Seems like you you forgot belief makes your reality clause 😀 “warning my cause psychosis or schizophrenia”
"He can resurrect jesus from the dead". Was jesus god? Or jesus was just a mortal man that resurrect by god? I don't understand
@@acquiredsceptics Jesus is God.
@@acquiredsceptics Jesus is God read the book of John
@@acquiredsceptics there is the father who was the god who created the earth. The holy spirit helped people have their revelations and then took the form of the son, Jesus. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, making it easier to get to heaven and allowing his spirit to remain on earth to guide us. That is my understanding
I'm still having doubts since I'm new to this but I will say the reason Christianity is making sense is because of Jesus's act of dying on the cross. Jesus's story feels like the perfect end to all the religious stories we hear from before hand. From those stories it clearly seems God is trying different things to save mankind from pain, despair, and evil. With Jesus the Ultimate thing happens. God saves mankind from pain, despair, and evil by showing how much he loves them and dying for their sins. All he asks is for their love. And that love he's asking them to give is not for his own sake, but for the sake of the people as with his love they don't love anything in the real world enough to feel too much pain, go into despair, and do evil things. It makes the most logical sense from a moral standpoint. Also the story of Jesus with the specific miracles he performed. It wasn't like before with trying to prove that he is God or sent by God. It was to show people the point of God, and the meaninglessness of the physical world.
You're almost there. God is not "trying different things to save" us. He's had a plan from the very beginning. He knew humanity would rebel against His sovereignty and, beforehand, He had decided to give Himself as a sacrifice for our sin. Prophecies about it have been revealed throughout the whole Old Testament (Jewish scriptures), from Genesis to Zechariah, hundreds of years before Jesus' birth (please check Isaiah chapter 53 for one of the clearest prophecies about His crucifixion).
Because God is Holy, as rebels, we couldn't be in full relationship with Him. Being perfectly just, He couldn't leave sin unpunished. And since He is perfectly gracious, He did what no one could ever do: suffer our death punishment, bring us back to life, and reconcile us with Himself. He rose from death so we didn't even need to carry the guilt for His sacrifice, and so we also could go back to life through Him, and live voluntarily under His authority. Here are some scriptures about it:
'You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. ' Romans 5:6-11
'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. ' Ephesians 2:8-9
'Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ' John 14:6
'The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” ' John 10:17-18
'He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.' Romans 4:25
'For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. ' Romans 14:9
May the Holy Spirit open your eyes and heart to understand and receive His grace.

I was atheist, or really more agnostic up until I was 17 or 18. I was raised in Christian school since my youth but I really wasn't sold and it just seemed like fairy tales to me. TBH I never believed in Santa or the Easter Bunny or anything like that as a child either. It wasn't until I was sixteen or seventeen that I had my first truly undeniable paranormal experience. It is pretty wordy so I will not cover that one. Then, at seventeen or eighteen, two friends and I had a disturbing and undeniable paranormal experience ouija boarding in a cemetery. One of those friends is now a very devoted born again Christian. I brought it up with him a year or two back and asked him why he thought we saw what he did and he told me that we out out faith into the board and the occult and what it had to offer and told me that the devil has his miracles, too.
My mom had a pretty bad experience with a ouija board as a child
That last line pretty scary lol
Are you praying to God as Jesus did when he was in need OR are you praying to Jesus?
How do you know it was a paranormal experience?
Ouija boards are examples of confirmation bias, plus it's frowned upon by a number of Christians.
My sister had an experience with Ouija board where she held it in place and could feel the other person holding it was trying to push it to the point there's fingers went white with the force.
You understand Ouija boards were invented as a board game and haven't been verified to do anything?
You have low standards of evidence and poor critical thinking skills.
What about the paranormal demonstrates the truth of Christianity?
I sometimes have high anxiety about whether Christianity is real or not. I watch this video every time i feel this way and its always help me calm down… despite on what other people may say i will always put my faith into god and jesus… amen
so it dosent bother you that he misrepresents science?
Stay strong, brother. God is most definitely real, and Jesus is God.
A lot of times, people just object to Christianity itself because they don't want it to be true. Their judgment is clouded by emotions. Many claim that "science" disproves Christianity. This isn't true. Their logic is flawed: you cannot have an organized, beautiful, complex universe such as this one without an intelligent God who created it. Frank is sound in many of the arguments he presents for Jesus. I don't say all only because I don't know everything he says, but his videos really helped me come to faith in Jesus.
Don't stop believing, Brandon. Keep on asking Jesus to strengthen your faith and remain with Him always! ❤

Jesus ate food he slept and he was not all knowing. He didnt even know the season of figs. Whenever he did miracles he prayed You worship a man
Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
John 11:41
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
John 5:30
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

@@justinetiberio8137 As an atheist, I was looking for a video similar to this. Atheism is not a belief in no God, but the disbelief in one. I do not firmly have a belief that there is no God, just enough doubt to not guarantee it. It is still important to be educated, and learn what every side is saying. Whilst this video did not convince me, it was still useful to gain a better perspective on everyone's opinions, I agree that many atheists are too firm in their belief to be open minded, but I assure you that some of us are willing to change our opinions given enough evidence

Muhammed was an outcast when he first introduced his religion, so he hadn't any motive either. Does that mean islam is true by your logic? Or maybe it spooky scary satan that created all other religions this way.
Besides I am going to introduce you something called P-R-O-O-F. Saying this isn't 100% proof as it should be, when talking about science. People can lie, and I don't know the motive, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a motive that we do not know about.
I have Christian friends which I very much like, and I respect all christians. But please:
1. Know that there isn't any point of arguing religion as it is obvious that even if you had valid points most people wouldn't belive you and stay with their own religions.
2. Maybe look into the subjects a bit more next time.

2nd :). I like the simplicity of this. Thx n blessings.
Then why not do a rebuttal vid? I'd watch that too. Should be simple.
@nickj14711 apologies for the delay, life stuff, kids etc. Also, wanted to give ye a reply in case their site doesn't. On a side, I don't agree with everything Frank says, but with my world-view, this video makes sense. Anyway, I'll try address yer points, in order, as best I can.
1. Relativists say truth is only relative to the individual. If ye say absolute truth exists, then I have to ask poss the most profound question found in the bible. "What is truth?"
2. General consensus (so far as I know) for big bang says there was nothing before. Then, something happened to nothing (scientifically impossible), and, long story short, here we are. Thus is the reasoning for the uncaused 1st cause. There had to be something to provide the material needed for said singularity to occur. It is reasoned that this comes from outside our current 4 dimensions of space-time. The 5th dimension. The end of Interstellar depicts the 5th dimension quite well. It's a similar idea to the universe-making machine. Why not such a machine? The fine-tuning of the universe. The numbers are just insane. Even DNA, the scientific"Book of life". Exact instructions on how to build an arm/leg etc. and for every living being? Would have to be a very personal intelligence.. uncomfortably so. Can ye get information without intellect? A uni-making machine would have to be even more fine-tuned to produce our universe. I've often likened God to the programmer and existence to the program. Frank didn't lie. God is a title, not a name. I know Him as Yahweh (YHVH), whereas you might say power/entity or the like.
3. I would cite Google's definition of miracle.
4. Yer question gives me the impression that ye haven't read it, or know it's history and culture (like most who claim to follow Christ I reckon). Which 4 of it's main claims are ye referring to? I'm guessing the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Christ? I'd say maybe look at the book of "Acts" and subsequent letters to believers of the time. The actions(and reactions) of the disciples and apostles and the persecutions they endured, point to it happening, not the contrary. What did they, or Christ, gain from their actions? As to contemporary evidence, we can't re-resurrect Christ, so it's more of a history lesson than anything else. There are extra-biblical sources, but ye'll have to do the research and weigh it up for yourself, as I do. Finally, the Romans(aside from maybe 1 instance)didn't take any interest in Christ till he was brought to Pontius Pilate, and since then, though they screwed with it big-time, they brought it to the rest of the world. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I disagree with most of church "doctrine". No Christmas, no Easter, no Sunday Sabbath etc.(see new2torah for more on that. Though, again, I don't agree with everything, I do test it). I hope this addresses yer points well enough, and thanks for the response. Blessings, j.
Again, my apologies. Seems the only quiet time I have is at this time of night. Anyhoo, I welcome the discussion.
On yer first point, there's no difference. was using"absolute" to differentiate from the"relative"truth position.
2. Not nothing, but the singularity. I concede, fair enough, but what/who provided the materials and conditions needed for said singularity?
The fine-tuning is partly in the expansion itself. Too quick/slow an expansion would not have produced our universe.
RNA and DNA are two different acids. One is not responsible for the other.
Almost yer entire argument is from incredulity. Why is it so hard for ye to conceive that a "mind" created something complex? Especially after positing a uni-making machine?!? I'd say it's logical to say, if there's a painting, then a painter, a building, then a builder, a song, then a musician, a creation then a creator. Also, I didn't ask"what"-thought I knew that- I asked"why?".
3. Google def is fine " an extraordinary and welcome event that's not explicable by natural/scientific laws. If big bang was explained, it wouldn't be a theory.
4. Ye didn't spec, so I had to hazard a guess.
If ye gonna make an appeal to authority in Hawking, then I could use God as mine. In either case, yer worldview has a proverbial gun that started it off, mine puts a hand on the gun.
Evolution cannot use the scientific method as proof. At best, once again, ye have a theory, not fact. Can you give any credible evidence as to as change in kinds of species?
If yer gonna bring morality into it, then you've no ground to stand upon. All ye have is a subjective stance. Who are ye to say what's moral and what isn't? Am I saying yer immoral? Certainly not! Yer made in His image after all.
What contemporary sources are ye looking for, for something that happened with a very specific individual 2000 years ago?
Not sure what yer after there..if ye could elaborate, that'd be grand.
Blessings,j.
@nickj14711 yeah dude I'm seeing your name all over the place still asking the same 4 questions. While hiding your sins by justifing you morality where ever your morality even comes from.
All a scientific theory is is just a theory that is widely accepted as true but still remains a theory none the less. You can check out the wiki page and see it for your self.
It says "widely accepted" it also meantions things that cant be tested thus abductive reasoning to conclude the theory. And abductive reasoning doesnt always verify something as true.
Evolution is merely a theory along with the big bang. You sir are dishonest.

@@MrLightning20 Dispensationalism. You take the verses out of context, since they weren't written for our time. Most of the OT, minus prophecies in Daniel, for example, were written for the Israelites, and people before Jesus' time. the NT, is for us, now, also for Saints and Jews during the tribulation. We take lessons from the OT, we don't follow EVERYTHING it says, since it isn't for us to live by.
@@waldenh7668 in which context is it okey to own other people as property and to beat them and go unpunished? Was it okey then for the Israelites to own people as property and beat them but not for others to do that? Jesus didnt have an issue with the old testament.
Ok but saying that the earth can’t come out of nothing is like saying where did God come from. It goes both ways
Question is how did reality as we know it come about?
@@nextbigthing2917 just because you can’t explain something doesn’t mean you have to make up a creator
There is creation, therefore there is a Creator. The Creator is outside the creation, therefore questions we can ask about the creation (such as:"what is the origin") are not applicable to the Creator (He is eternal).
God was just there
God is timeless, which means eternal. Therefore he didn't begin to exist he always has and always will.
A few questions;
1. In that case, who created God? And if God could create themselves, then with that criteria couldn't space, matter and time create themselves?
2. About the Jews having no reason why to create the New Testament: People do things that contradict them and change their minds all the time, how can you be sure that just because someone had no clear motovation to do something it makes it real? We weren't there, we have no clue what happened.
3. If God has done so many things for humanity, then how come they haven't showed up in so long? I mean, how long ago was the last time God preformed one of their miracles like the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, the resurrection of Jesus, etc.? What happened? (And by miracle I mean the kind of stuff that made it into the Bible).
4. The Christian God is all loving, but if that's true, how can evil exist? I've heard people say it's because "God loves us so much they gave us freewill", but that only answers the question "why can we do evil?", not why evil exists in the first place. If evil didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to do it, not because God erased that option for us, but because the option wouldn't exist in the first place.
5. Kind of on that same note: Why do phycopaths exist? These people don't choose to not feel empathy, guilt or shame. They're just born that way, no choice. And how can you expect someon eto be good when the very things that stop us from being bad don't exist for them? Why would God create someone like that?
Anyway, those are just a few questions I have that don't make sense to me. Personally I can't believe in something unless it makes sense to me or/and I have solid evidence, that's why I'm agnostic. But I respect your beliefs.
Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._*
And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position.
1. I personally have never observed a god.
2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god.
3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity.
4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists.
5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises.
6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon.
7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._
8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event.
9. Every phenomenon that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity.
10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable.
ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god.
I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._*
I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
@@FaithfulFoxMinistries05 No. You are wrong. I do not believe that the universe made itself out of nothing. And you are a coward to suggest so.

1) Do you know my beliefs and convictions better than I? Yes or no.
2) Did I state or even suggest that I "believe the universe made itself out nothing"? Yes or no.

Ex hindu Now christian from india (kolkata) 🇮🇳.✝️❤️
Only four questions eh! Should be pretty easy to deal with those because if they really are simple 'yes' or 'no' questions, as Mr Turek claims, then there are only three possible answers... the third one being 'I don't know', which is a perfectly reasonable answer, especially when dealing with issues which are subject to much conflicting speculation and varying hypotheses.
So the first answer is clearly 'yes'. There are some claims which are true and which can be demonstrated to be so by overwhelming empirical evidence and multiple observations and experiments (distilled water boils at 100 degrees C at average sea level air pressure for example). Such scientific and demonstrable 'facts' always have to carry the qualification that they are subject to change and amendment if new information becomes available (which is why all 'Scientific Theories' and the 'facts deduced from them are provisional). Moral or philosophical questions of course are not subject to being proven or disproven by empirical evidence and so they have to be excluded from the scope of this question.
The answer to the second question is obviously 'I don't know', but as we have no good evidence for this claim (none whatsoever) then it is reasonable to conclude that it is extremely unlikely to be true. All that waffle Mr Turek engaged in about his "Uncreated Creator" is just meaningless drivel and unevidenced assertions, and 'what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence'. Mr Turek asserts (without citing any evidence) that "...space, matter, and time had a beginning out of nothing" and apart from the fact that Mr Turek does not specify his definition of 'nothing', I do not know of a single physicist or cosmologist who would agree that we know this to be an established 'fact'. Mr Turek is just spouting dowright lies here.
The third question is a dog's breakfast as Mr Turek conflates and confuses (deliberately I think) the words 'true' and 'possible'. If it is true that a god created the world and the universe as described in the first chapter of the Christian Bible then of course miracles are ' possible'. But we have no evidence for this at all and all the conclusive scientific evidence (without exception) is consistent with current theories of cosmology and geology - and so they would be, because Scientific Theories are, by definition, the best and most widely accepted explanation that is consistent with the available evidence. The answer to this question is another 'don't know' but we can add that the absence of any good evidence makes it highly improbable.
The answer to the fourth question is an emphatic 'no' because while we cannot know for certain whether unverified and unevidenced claims are true, we can make an assessment of the reliability of what supposed evidence we do have. I don't know if Mr Turek has done any studying or training in the evaluation of historical evidence (I'm afraid that the rubbish they teach in Yankee theological and Bible Colleges doesn't really count), but I have, and I can say without fear of contradiction (on any reasonable grounds) that the New Testament, and the four canonical gospels in particular, are not just very weak and unreliable evidence but they are also mutually incompatible and are contradicted by claims which are supported by much stronger evidence. I cannot say that I know that the gospels are all completely fictitious, just as I cannot say for certain that the character of 'Jesus Christ' (Yeshua ben Ioseph) never existed. What I can say for certain is that we have no good evidence for the supposed words or deeds, let alone the miracles and the resurrection, of this person and that the complete absence of any eye-witness accounts or contemporary records makes a strong case for him being a mythical or euhemerised character. This does not prove beyond any doubt that the New Testament stories are false but it does indicate that we have no good reasons to believe that they are true and accurate.
Mr Turek's final claim to know what did and did not motivate the authors of the gospels (people whose real names, cities or countries of residence, and biographical details are all mysteries to us) and to 'know' that there was an empty tomb in Jerusalem are just more dishonest and mendacious claptrap.
So the final total is:
1 x YES (with the qualifications mentioned)
2 x DON'T KNOW
1 x NO (absolutely and emphatically).
Hardly a well argued case, and it fails on the balance of probabilities, let alone on the standard of 'proof beyond reasonable doubt.'
the first 3 have nothing to do with Christianity. For the 4th, Miracles and resurrections occur in the texts of many other religions, from a Christian perspective these are not true, what reason did the writers of those texts have to lie?
Shh! Stop using logic, you reasonable pers-I mean heathen!!!

You said: _”Atheists do more to defend their reasons not to believe in Christian worldview and not the world views of other faiths.”_
Therefore you take that as one more reason that testifies to the validity of Christianity..
I pointed to the fact that you are an American, and America is filled with Christians... You haven’t countered this, as much as you made the case for me.
What worldview do you think atheists in Syria and Afghanistan encounter the most? So according to your reasoning, Islam is the one true religion depending on where you live... How do you like your argument now?
You also need apologetics for science, competing religions, basically the reality Hitches, Dawkins etc. are appealing to, which won’t go away no matter how hard you try and deny it. Therefore you are not only defending your faith from my worldview, you are actively denying it through willful ignorance. Where I am defending myself from you, is when you impose your beliefs on my rights as human being.
I absolutely acknowledge that some of the founding fathers were Christians, it is a fact. But do you acknowledge that there were also deists and atheists? Do you acknowledge that you are at odds with the first amendment when you want to introduce god into the classrooms and legislation?

And what does he mean by saying they had no motive? how would you possibly prove the motive of someone 2k years later? They could have way more easily just wanted power after seeing Jesuses following or maybe they were just delusional. When it comes down to it, if I can't know why something happened, I'll assume that the explanation coheres to reality.

1. The Existence of God
2. The Resurrection of Christ

Very good video, thanks for summing it up like this so I can tell people easily. Just a point to add to the second thing, when you say we know what created the universe existed outside of space matter and time, and also we know that He is intelligent and personal, we know these last two points because he chose to create the universe. When the state of something changes someone made a choice, or something happened in a chain reaction caused by a choice. Sort of like dominos, I didn't push the 10th one, but I pushed the 1st one, so if someone says it was the big bang, who caused that? Obviously powerful speaks for itself.
Um sorry but no. I respect that you believe it’s your god, but that’s not an actual factual explanation that can be demonstrated. You want to believe it that’s fine, but to say it is _the_ only possible explanation? No.

Please don't praise statues if you have to carry a statue instead of something that is always with you doesn't make sense why would the almighty being have to be carries stop praising statues please
So I’ve been trying to learn how to pronounce Allah swt, can someone help me out with that?

"Even atheists admits the universe came out of nothing"
So you are lying then
Your fallacious arguments are mind boggling. Your claim that: “You have to have more faith to believe it didn’t occur, than it did”, is a fallacy known as proving a negative, where the burden of proof is shifted onto the one disagreeing with claim, rather than the person making the claim that a particular thing exists or happens.
It would be the same as me saying: It requires more faith to believe a balrog wasn’t in my room yesterday, than the faith required to believe it did.
You call fallacy even if you can't understand? Do you know the whole history? At first the Apostles ran away, they were afraid, terrified! After the resurrection they simply didn't care about their lives anymore, they went preaching, what kind of event if not seen Christ again could make such behavior change? More than 500 people saw the resurrected Jesus and were willing to die for testifying that. This is documented inside and outside of the Bible. There are 31 sources for Jesus. Considering the fact that the Roman Empire the most powerful on earth at the time and all Jerusalem's most powerful men also couldn't find Jesus body, the way Christianity spreaded all over the way it did, with so many people changing their lives, the converting of Paul, a Roman trained assassin designed to search and kill Christians, what kind of event would make a man like that to convert as a Christian if not seeing Jesus resurrected himself? The only reason he went there was to kill Christians... Paul's testemonial was so strong when he got back, considering who he was, that Romans themselves started converting and year later the whole empire became Christian! To imagine all that just didn't happen considering all the historical facts around it does require way more faith indeed! All the historical evidence collaborate with the New Testament, it's the most scrutinized book in history and no one could show any discrepancy between it and the other sources, Romans, Jewish, etc... To believe it was all a lie considering 2021 years of studying and no one could find any refutation, it's indeed just an act of faith...
@N58 Jaramillo Dude, calm down. If the writers of a book claiming to be the word of God *didn't* foresee pushback that would be surprising. It wouldn't have taken a genius to realise that people who disagree would exist.
@N58 Jaramillo I never said it was "just a book", and whether it's a compilation or not is irrelevant. You chose to focus in on one detail and ignore my entire argument debunking the argument that you went on to type a whole paragraph reiterating. Did you even read my reply?
@N58 Jaramillo If I were to write a religious book today and include a line saying a lot of people will ridicule it, I would merely be stating the obvious. I could even include a line stating that you would disbelieve, and you would obviously fulfill that "prophecy", but the point is that would *not* be evidence that the book is reliable or containing any profound truth, merely that it's writer (s) had common sense.
@N58 Jaramillo Uh...okay? First of all, baselessly attacking my character makes your argument weaker, secondly you're goin on a *very* long rant of what seems to be everything that popped into your head upon reading my comment, yet you didn't actually address my point. I'm not here to debunk the whole religion for you, and I really don't have the motivation to try. Either stay on topic or give me a good reason to listen to your Biblical assertions.
I wouldn't be alive today if GOD was by my side when I was declared dead at 12yrs old after a car accident...AMEN and than you GOD
Which God was that? Christian, Hindu, Islamic or other? Similar stories can be found in all of them, so hard to know which you are giving props to when they are equally likely.
this made me feel a lot better, thanks 🙏
Thank you, I needed this.
I was an atheist and a radical leftist anarchist. I was interested in the occult and listened to satanic black metal.
Now I'm a real man of god.
This video most probably won't convince anyone, but what could convince someone it's the fact that Christianity teaches to repent and forgive. That is exactly what keeps you from knowing god and having perfect peace.
Do an introspection, realize that you're wrong, realize that there is evil in you and you don't have internal peace, meditate and ask god, nature, the universe or whatever you believe to show you what's wrong. Then go and forgive the people that did you wrong.
You will find god, peace and you will never be angry ever again.
If you're a male you will become an alpha male, a real man!
I like the shameless pandering to structural ideals of masculinity at the end of your comment. Hilarious.
@@blackandblueeagleyeah right... now everything its structural and man made. like it or not we are half beast and half divine. Just like animals in nature there is Alpha males and Beta males!
BETA!
@@vmellaz It's true that some men are more socially dominant than others. The idea that social dominance could somehow correlate to belief, or that you can choose to become socially dominant, is frankly silly. Societal hierarchies are in large part determined by genetics.
@@blackandblueeagle you're wrong. Just drop the anger and you will see.
Once you repent and forgive, you will have no fear, you will think with clarity, you will be logical, you won't feel inferior to anyone, you won't be emotional like a woman, you will lead by the example, etc. You will be a true alpha.
People believe that a bunch of muscle and some strength makes you an alpha male but they are wrong.
Just look at the great white hope president Trump or Dan Peña
@@vmellaz I'm sorry sir, but in terms of the alpha/beta debate you're on the empirical losing side. The irony of bringing up Trump, a crybaby who becomes offended when he feels even a subtle slight directed his way, as a quintessential alpha male, is profound.
It's sort of sad to see how your rhetoric is directed at people who are unsatisfied with themselves: people who are fearful, can't think clearly, are illogical, or don't feel secure in their masculinity. It's possible to feel better about yourself without turning to a religion. I know that because I am in the process of doing it.
Appreciate your wearing the safety goggles... stay safe while preaching the word brother!
"The reason we BELIEVE Christianity is true " So it's a belief reason?
You could say, it's a belief with solid reasons and evidence to back it up.
@Guna Atheism requires more faith than theism
@Guna Atheists believe the universe is eternal
@@readysoldier6799 which evidence are you reffering to?
Also atheism requires no faith.
The crucifixion site was found outside of Jerusalem's Damascus Gate between the years 1979-1982 by an amateur archaeologist named Ron Wyatt. Additionally, at the Golgatha escarpment (also known as Charles Gordon's Calvary), he found approximately 20 feet below present ground level the seal stone linking it to the Garden Tomb, where unbeknownst to most, in the wall thereof today is a sheaved off iron pin, proven in the year 2002 to be of ancient roman origin, once used to seal the tomb, which would've required a force of 60-80 tons to so level with the wall, proving the Bible's testimony of Jesus' Resurrection and supernatural opening of the tomb. See my blog for more details.
Every day, some person claims they have evidence proving the bible and it’s always different. This whole thing is a scam.
@@2l84me8 You wake up every morning making a judgement call to do certain things because you believe them to have value. If you die, and so does everyone else either at or before the heat death of the universe, nothing you will ever do has any value - it would be as if it never happened. You cannot prove that anything you do matters and has value, yet you act like it does. At least in the Christian faith, there are the conditions which prove value.
@@iguess2739 What you claimed is not relevant, nor to I have anything to prove to you because I am not making an outrageous claim the way religion does.
Your belief in the bible does not offer up a better nor more valid explanation as to why things have value, you’re just a group of superstitious people with a similar hobby, that’s all.
@@2l84me8 You're a hypocrite, I still proclaim. You have not addressed what I have said and are aimless. I am right and that haunts you.
@Leon Discuss "you're" not "your".. the shroud is definitely a fraud; but to say the dead sea scrolls are demonstrates extreme ignorance; I'm not aware of any serious scholar who claims they are forgeries
Islam is the true religion
Ahh yes another uneducated muslim crying, explain everything he said wrong. Bet you can't, Why? Well because I first detected in your comment you just start by saying Islam is true, but what is true about it? Instead of pointing out all the wrong things he said in this video you decide to keep yourself foolish. You want us to respect your religion but what do you guys do in return, hate our religion? EXACTLY. So let me show you another reason why your religion doesn't really mean anything.
Quran 54:1 talks about the splitting of the moon by prophet muhammad. There are multiple people who witnessed the event( in the quran only). Yet how come those were the only people who saw it? If the moon split everyone would've seen it in night. And trust me they would've written articles about it. But they didn't. So only the people in the quran saw it meaning his miracle is false.
Reason 2:
Your religion talks about Jesus alot. In the Bible Jesus was seen drinking alcohol alot of times. So surely that means he is not muslim because Muslims can't drink alcohol. Jesus was also never seen drinking alcohol in the quran. That creates 2 visions of Jesus. But here is why Jesus in Christianity is true. First in the quran it says that Jesus was born from a virgin. (Surah 3 Al Imran and 19 Maryam. However the quran was written (not given) in 609 CE. 609 years after the birth of Jesus. Meaning quran only talks about Jesus after 609 years, where that time he was no longer on earth? The new testament was written between 50 CE and 120 CE. With that knowledge the new testament was also written somewhere after Jesus resurrected. That means that the new testament came 559 years before the quran was even a thing. Now there are two reasons why Jesus is in quran and why Jesus is in Bible. The Jesus in the quran was copied form the Bible version and was changed a bit up. Because all the eye witnesses of Jesus is only mentioned in Bible which means the Quran is copied.
But apart from that if your quran is from allah directly and all the historical, scientifical, and other mistakes. And allah is all knowing. That means allah is not all knowing because why would he make a mistake. So if there is a mistake in the quran that means allah made a mistake but allah is all knowing meaning he is not God but only one God and that is the God in Christianity.
I don't want you to convert or anything I'm just trying to say don't get big mouth and repent before it's to late. Thank you
Not
One time there was a big storm and my cat had not returned for an hour since it started. I got very worried, so i prayed that my cat would return home safely. A minute later, my cat meows at the door, safe and sound, despite the huge storm. You can call this a coincidence but i don’t believe it was
LOL. How amusing (and sad) that you'd think your gad would rescue a cat but not lift a finger to help children with cancer. How conceited you are.

@@specialdelivery9196 1. Native Americans didn't have a written language
2. It probably was brackish...as Noah stayed in the ark for about a year...so no one knows
3. There has never been 1 transition fossil found out of the thousand upon thousand fossilized remains ever found...not 1
So were are the fossilized animals in the middle of the evolutionary process....
There are 0
@@thehelpdesk4051
so by default natives went to hell as expected since "the tower of Babylon"
2. It would have been brackish, and the fish would of had to evolve in less than a thousand years except salt water, fresh water fish are accounted for in the Bible so miraculously the ocean must have some magical reset button
3. That argument is invalid in the context of how evolution works. Since you'll probably say I have no idea what I'm talking about in regards to the Bible allow me to do the same in regards to evolution, considering how long it takes for something to evolve you could also say every fossilized creature found today was in the process of evolving
The mental gymnasts required to come to these conclusions are hilariously high.
If you’re trying to prove the existence of an all powerful god and one of your key arguments is the question “does god exist,” I don’t think it’s a very good argument.
Lmao true
The video was "Is Christianity true" in order to answer which religion is right, we presuppose there is a God, since Islam believes in a God, Hinduism believes in gods, Pantheists believe im god, so to answer which one is right, one has to assert that God exists, you can look at his proper arguments in his channel
@@grilledcheese2285 ok

Deut. 13, invalidates the idea that just because Jesus was resurrected, this proves his divinity! The chapter clearly tells us, that God tests us, to see if we worship ONLY Him, by sending those who do signs and wonders, but then try and lead us away from the worship of our ONE God, who gave us the law!!
