Yes Christianity is proven facts while Religions are changed wording into lies deceptions and exaggerations Jesus is our savior and Christianity is the Truth that's been proven and is still being proven so the difference is Christianity is Truth and Religion is Lies good job at knowing the difference not many people do understand the difference
Many differences, yup. One of the big ones is that religion is blindly following without actual proof. Scientists these days are having a much harder time disproving God's existence than ever before. I've been a follower of Christ for the majority of my life. I made the decision to become a Christian at a very young age, and recommitted my life to Him several times. I'm not perfect, but I'm also not believing everything others say. If someone is referencing a Bible verse, I'll read along to make sure they're not adding or otherwise changing what God has actually had put in there
Gentlemen, Plz read the bible again with the mindset the bible is our Manual. Instruction on how we should live our lives. Jesus didn't bring a religion to Earth. Man created religion. Think about it. God and Jesus didn't bring a religion to earth. ruclips.net/video/BFko15cgDqc/видео.html
Yes, Jesus hated religion. He told the pharisee’s “you hypocrites! You do not enter the Kingdom and you stop those from entering in.” Religion is mankind making God in their image and it gets in the way of what God is trying to do.
@@roneldell5137 i think there is too much emphasis on myself, my family, my neighborhood, my church - love people - relationship over getting attendance points at church
I believed there was a God my whole life, searched in many ways to find purpose and peace including drinking/drugs, sex with strangers, crystals, fortune teller readings, witchcraft and the like. at 23 I came to my end and hated the way I was living. I prayed that if there was a God that He would reveal Himself to me or kill me because I was suicidal. I met Jesus on April 23rd of 2022 and I will never be the same. He is real. He is indeed God. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He changed my whole life. God bless.
On April 23rd, 2022, Jesus was in my backyard fixing the fence, there's no way he was at two places at the same time. He's highly productive but I don't think he can do magic like that. Strange...
My thoughts exactly brother... I couldn't have worded it any better... March 4, 2007 was the day I met Him (3-4-07). I appreciate you sharing this brother! Thankful to know we're on the same team... 😉🙌 God bless you and everyone reading this... He loves you today and so do I... 🛐
@NatanArk He created everything brother, Everything you see around you... and I can tell you He loves you today, and I do too. He does have a plan and a purpose for your life. God bless you and He will help you if you seek after Him. The humbling thing about it is He wants to... He's made it easy for us, We as humans make it difficult to give our lives to the Lord. I know, I was there @ 1 time, I had a ton of ?s, but I can tell you it's the best the decision I ever made surrendering my life to Him... He's helped me more than I can say... and He'll do the same for any1 who seeks after Him... He wants to have a relationship with all of us... God bless you buddy! I hope this helps... He's a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Seek after Him today. He will meet you wherever you are...
There was this girl that I was dating, who I had no idea she was religious btw (she looked both physically and personality wise the complete opposite). Once she caught me off guard, as I had recently lost my grandpa and told her about my weak -almost non existent- connection with God. She smiled and told me "you know, the beautiful part of it all is that he loves you, he doesn't put pressure on you and will always be there waiting for you to come, and that moment could arrive at the most unexpected time, even when you're not seeking for it". I've not stayed in touch with her for a long time now, but, sometimes, somehow, I really believe her job in my life wasn't to be my partner, but to open my heart to the Lord. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not super religious on my daily basis, but one thing's true, up until that very moment when she told me that, I was dragging a lot of pain and suffering (my grandfather, family health issues, trouble to overcome an old break up which I thought was already something from the past...) and it suddenly went away. Once you realize you'll always have him, you're practically invincible
"I will NEVER leave You or forsake You." Heb. 13:5 Have heard that Scripture a million times but it never sunk in b/c of the things I've done in the past. The way You shared Your story #carloscaparroslledo1130 hit Me HARD - "...once You realzie You'll ALWAYS have Him, You're practically invincable.." wow - THANK YOU JESUS!! I'm a Believer. I have doubts and fears and a past just like everyone else and that doesn't stop when You become a Follower of Christ, but He helps me FOCUS on the Future He's already prepared for Me. I've been thru some stuff that NOBODY should EVER have to go thru and yep, I Believed during all that and it STILL happened, but I've also seen the Goodness of God and Miracles, Signs and Wonders that defy ALL human logic, mainly due to what He's done inside of Me and THAT pours out to Others. There's this phrase - "...and They'lll know We are Christians by Our Love." In this Day and age, it's hard to find Love that reaches out for no reason. God doesn't Love Us based on what's happened or how We Believe. IN fact, He Loves Us with NO reason. UNCONDITIONALLY - no 'if You do this..' or 'if You keep all the rules to this...' no! We Love others based on conditions (if You do this I'll do this...) God Loves UNCONDITIONALLY and ALWAYS WILL right up to the very end. What I LOVE about this conversation is People wonder and think to Thermselves "...am I missing something?" There's a curiousity and that's a GOOD thing because from what I KNOW, that's the START of Your Faith Journey. Do I have ALL the answers? Nope - no way. But I know the God Who DOES. My Prayer is that He reveals Himself to YOU in a way that transforms EVERYTHING about You and Your Life - FOR THE BETTER!!! Know this - that NO MATTER WHAT - God LOVES YOU!!!
@@ModemorphThat's a GREAT way to put it. She was very well spoken. I also believe that people sometimes have a special purpose in life... People drift in and out of our lives all the time, but there are a few that really change our lives, for the rest of our lives.
I had the same question as you, “Why does not God stop suffering?” My dad answered, “If he intervenes, there would be no free will to man-kind, and all the suffering in this world is being caused by men and their consequences, not God or Allah.” I am still figuring things out myself.
We live in a sinful world but I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord is the only true Christ and true son of God and God in the flash and there be a day of his second coming but no men no angles even the the creases on earth or in the sea, but only God knows the hour and day of the second coming of the Lord .
Am Italian too. I passed a period similar to yours. Is critical because there are a lot of questions that seem has no answers. And certain things that seems imposed from your original family religion. This period was difficilt to me because I had a lot of things to deal with and to solve, like how to cure my phisique, how to dress ecc...And the thing that was more problematic was the fact that i had like a black hole inside of me that made me obsessed with buying new stuff and achive a lot of empty goals. Once i restarted my process of reconciliation with God and my faith, my hole was filled. I started to gain more without even ask. More than when i was obsessed. This year i had my catholic confirmation. My life is better now.
@@Tjtellsthetruth Woah. I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is demonic or not. I'm Christian nor Catholic but I do a lot of good deeds and some bad ones (I'm not perfect since God is only being that is) but I try my best to do what is right. So will I go to hell just because I don't believe in the Bible? No, of course not because that would not make any sense. Would you send your child to jail if they were to steal something at home?
@@hardicdubb ITs not about judging at all, its about saving peoples live's as a prophet of the lord HAVE to, you don't understand. When you make a covenant with God you have to keep it, and the exact thing your saying is why so many people are condemned to hell. Because christianity isnt about showing up on sunday its about the Gospel and the relationship with Jesus Christ the early church was just that and only that and all it shouldve ever been. Everytime we stray from that we end up worshipping man, and the Roman Catholic church is bad, the Catholic church isnt.
I respect you making a video , because it’s a very contentious topic , I was atheist for 20 years and I’ve been through the ringer , I’ve watched you for years and years my highs my lows , I prayed to Jesus at my very lowest 4 months ago and I watched him change my heart and take away my anxiety and my depression I watched him save mybaby that’s in the nicu right now , and I watched him save my wife who almost died , I’ve watched him put me in The path of people who need me , I’ve watched him save and I’ve watched him work , I am truly alive now because of him
❤❤❤❤So beyond happy for you brother, when we put our ego aside and work on presenting ourselves as authentically as we can to him things begin to change. But that's a very hard point to get to
"i found God reading this Bible, and today's video sponsor, the Pete&Pedro Bible, Alpha M Version!" I'm just kidding, great message. And I pray that everyone will find the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. | Meaning noone can enter heaven by being "Good" and noone can be "Good" because something that is "Good" is "Good" all the time. not just part of it. You only get into heaven by believing the Gospel and wanting a Relationship with Jesus Christ.
@@Columbo-r4z It's not the book that matters, but the God responsible for its divine inspiration. Either you believe in a universe with a God, or you believe in a universe that's a simulation. Anything else is intellectually dishonest and if you can't look around you and see that there is a designer you are blind. I was an Atheist who only believed in Science, then I searched for Truth actually took time to study history for context, and as well as evaluated other religions. Quantum Physics Schrodingers Cat proves that our Universe can only exist if there is an Observer at all times, meaning a God.
I’m a Christian. But you are wrong, all that is good is Godly, and all that is Godly may enter the kingdom. The kingdom dwells within us all. Open your mind, the Bible is meant to be studied and interpreted not taken literally
I don't watch this channel but I saw it come across my recommendations and listened to the entire video. I think it was well thought out, you asked all the right questions, and you seem to have an honest open mind. So allow me to give you my perspective. I was raised and grew up catholic my entire life. I went to church on Sundays everyday for years. Went to a Christian/Catholic school. Never took my faith seriously and never really cared about God beyond what I was told. I had always thought that being a good person was pretty much all we had to do and continued to live my life the way I saw fit. As I grew older I began to question what I was doing with my faith. Was there even a God in the first place? I began to hate going to church on Sundays because with the way they were raising me and my siblings, they too could care less about the "faith" they claimed to have. I was questioning, why believe in something big and not even take it seriously. I decide to have a deep search for my faith, and if I got nothing out of it, I would simply just be an atheist. I was willing to convert entire religions, why? Because if there is a God whom exist, you ought to worship him for who he is and NOT who you want him to be. It simply doesn't matter beyond that. First I needed to know if there is a God and why? The answer to that question is yes. There definitely is a God. How do you come to terms with this? Ask yourself questions that would only make sense if a God existed. What are the origins of the universe? Something eternal has to exist in order for creation to start. Is it possible to create a concept and idea that wasn't already created before? What do I mean by this? Ideas and concepts of any sort were never created simply discovered. A basic level to understand this is to watch any movie/TV show that depicts alien life. Why is the alien always depicted as a humanoid or something animalistic. In other words why are the alien creatures made up of body parts from animals and humans that already existed. It simply doesn't matter what the shape of the alien is it is not original. Take Godzilla for example or the xenomorph from Aliens vs Predators. These are two different creatures that humans put together to depict a form of life we have never seen before right? How do they go about doing this. They take ideas of what life already existed and use that formant. Godzilla and the Xenomorph have teeth, legs, arms, scales, etc. These are already created concepts within already living creatures that we know that has been around for thousands of years. I challenge you to create an alien creature without using body parts and physical features/concepts that don't already exist in humans and other animals. It simply can't be done. And this concept can be applied to virtually any idea, not just the idea and creation of life. If humans can't create something completely original from the realms of this reality who can? Somebody had to have done it. The second part of this topic is what is the reason you wake up everyday. In biblical terms it is said that we are created to worship. This is not just a saying. It is very literal and actually explains what we as humans, (and I mean every single one of us) do by default, and that is to worship. We all are worshipping something. What does this mean. Ask yourself the question, what is the reason that you wake up everyday. What keeps you going, what gives you the reason to even live in the first place. Whatever that thing or person is, is untimely what you worship. Old English word for worship is "weorþscipe" and that means to means "worthiness" or "to give worth." What is it in life that you give worth and ultimate high value to. For some people it's money, others relationships, maybe dreams, or their children. We are worshipping something in life whether you acknowledge it or not. So, if there is a God, and we are meant to worship. Which God is it? And why do we ought to worship that God. I am speaking from a Christian perspective. From a biblical context we are all in danger of the hell fire. We as humans being are wicked and evil at our core. The idea of being perfect is completely foreign and incomprehensible to us because we have truly fallen. How do we know this? The commandments that God gives us simply let us know what we should have been able to do without fault. The standard of what Sin is to God is so high because of how perfect and holy he is. On average, humans have 6000-60,000 thoughts a day. How many thoughts are wicked/evil and careless out of that? How many things you didn't do that you should have done every single day? Sin in the eyes of God is like a court of law, when you commit an offense you have to pay that offense via jailtime. The sin that we commit by God is so high that nothing you do can ever repay it. This is why being "a good person" will never work and it will take something much more precious than our small deeds compared to our thousands of bad deeds to make up for it. A criminal who commits a crime can't do a good deed and say to the judge "can i be let go now?" It's not how it works. That is why God sent his son to die for humanity, for those who believe in his son and the price he paid for us we are wiped clean with his blood and we are able to be forgiven of the debt of sin which no good deeds can ever repay. This is where that saying "No one can come to the father except through Jesus". Where does the concept of religion come from? Religion has always been a thing even throughout the bible. People in their automatic desire to worship something decide to worship whatever they please even their own gods. Religion comes from people who value tradition over Gods actual divine nature. It comes out of those who want to worship God for what they WANT him to be and not for who he is. The definition of love is patience, sacrifice, and generosity. That's what the God of the bible is. Love doesn't always fell good. Why do bad things happen in this world? Because it was fallen starting from the garden with the apple being eaten. I look at it like this. ----
Bro! I love how you are promoting the importance of a platform to have these discussions! A soft landing place for anyone, to ask any questions. Because this topic DOES have an impact on us and what’s been set in our hearts. Thank you for sharing this so courageously! We can hold differing viewpoints, but in the end, I DO honour your viewpoints and what you’re doing to help others. So good.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:23 We need Jesus because of sin. Sin separates us from God. Christ died for us to wipe our sin clean. Sin= Death. Christ= Life. Even those in remote tribes will hear, we all have a choice to choose Christ or reject Him.
God created sin, unless you believe god isn’t omnipotent. He knew eve was gonna eat from the tree, he knew satan was gonna rebel against him. He knew sin would still be an issue after drowning 90% of the world in noahs flood. Christianity isnt coherent so its stupid
God caused all this suffering for what???? So he can have people in heaven worship him like people do in north korea. Ur god is a stupid creation from humans. Im assuming u dont know the other gods like el, baal. Do u know why the Israelites chose yahweh as their god? Do ur research
@@shabanshabani7721exactly.. he even knew there would be atheists and believers in other religions before they were even born, so why did he create them? Just so that he could send them all to.hell? 😂
Arbitrary, man-made ideas being falsely attributed to a Devine power. I’ve known enough non-Christians who are good people to know how ridiculous of a concept that is.
Brother Christianity is not a religion it’s a way of life. But Jesus said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. So we are all sinners . Who is worthy none besides thee Jesus Christ Lord and savior 🙏🏼💪🏽🔥
I'm not sure you ever read these cause you get so many. But I've been watching your channel since I was starting high school. You've been basically like a dad to me. I'm 25 now. All my sense of style (which my friends constantly compliment and admire), my confidence and a bit of my personality I owe to having watched each one of your videos every day before starting school or uni. I studied theology. And also delved in world religions, though I don't share the same views as you I just want to THANK YOU for opening up about this. It was so refreshing to hear you speak openly about this and just freely share where you're at with such an open mind. These conversations are so important and so meaningful. I could tell you were speaking from the heart. The biggest thing that saddens me about religion and spirituality is that it is so central to us as humans. It is basically at is core meaning. What you believe about yourself, eternity, God and the universe shapes the way we view and do everything because it determines what life means for us personally. And it saddens me because talking about this can be so enriching and connect us on an existential level, but it's been used so much for the polar opposite. To tear down and divide us. I know this is a long comment, and I don't know if I managed to explain myself well, but it made me SO happy just to hear you talking about this!! THANK YOU!!
Italian from a super Catholic family here. I graduated the Catholic school system entirely godless. By God's saving grace, He pulled me out of the mud. I now attend a local baptist church and stay involved with small group meetings. I pray the Lord shows you the way. We suffer because we are a fallen, sinful world. By our own doing. Also, the Bible clearly states everyone on Earth will have a chance to have heard the gospel. That includes those isolated tribes.
Yes.... Be a good person IS the energy of ALL religious and spiritual teachings. Thank you for your humility and courage to convey this important message, Brother. Stay safe, well and blessed.
It's just that "good" is defined differently in different religions and ideologies, e.g. referring to the classifications of humans, who is to count as "worth living" or "unworthy" of it, divided by the line of if you belong to them or not... That's my problem with religions or their orthodox branches which have never been reformed, yet wreak havoc in modern societies.
That Christian ex girlfriend of yours definitely needs to get out of that church. This is how I see it. Heaven is relationship with God, Hell is separation from God. Because Jesus died on the cross for sinners we can have a relationship with God but in the end we choose whether we go to heaven or hell, not because you're gay or whatever but because we're sinners.
Gay's that don't repent and stop their sin also don't accept the Lord as their savior then I've got bad news according to the scriptures because I'm not the judge Jesus is so im just saying based on the scriptures
Gays have the urge to make sexual acts with the same sex, so men have the urge to do sexual acts with multiple women they find attractive. Is it the right thing to do though? No. Sex is acceptable only inside marriage and between a wife and a husband.
My son passed away in the NICU in mid September. It’s hard to believe in god after that. It’s hard to believe in anything. I hate it when people say god has a plan or he’s in a better place. It feels like BS. Why my son. Why an innocent baby. Why my child. And for anyone who says he’s in a better place. The best place for my son was in my arms while I read him a story and give him the biggest hug and kiss in the world.
The human is first of all gods creation and after that we all are childrens of over parents. But believe me god knows well then us that what is good for us and what is not good for us
I'm sorry to read this. There are no words that would make sense or can alleviate the pain. Just think of the people who are still with you, they are a very real reason.
My brother passed away in May. I understand where you say why would God would do this. All I can say is read the Book of Job in the bible. I can tell you my faith is stronger now than ever. If you’re easily broken when you’ve had an easy life than I can never trust you when hardships come your easily breakable and the devil can get you to betray your father.
alpha m ... your honesty does you credit. 90% of Christians don't have that courage and thus will never ask the tough questions. They preach and they judge but will never escape that mentality
Pray to God to guide you to the straight path. As Muslims we pray to God every day to guide us to the straight path. Guide us along the Straight Path, (Quran 1:6) the Path of those You have blessed-not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.1 (Quran 1:7)
Came for the fashion advice, stayed for the philosophy I had a similar conclusion in 20+ years a go in grade school, I (Catholic), was sitting with a Muslim, a Jew, and a Buddhist and we figured out “We are all trying to get into heaven in our own way”
I’ve been going through a bit of an existential dilemma this year. With that said, this video dropped at such a good time. It’s very reassuring knowing that so many other people share these same spiritual ideologies. Thanks, alpha!
I used to be in the same boat about not knowing anything about religion. My best friend got into perennialism (the belief that all religions are valid) and we both subscribed to that idea. It is after that that we found the Holy Orthodox Church ☦️, the church founded by Jesus Christ himself, and discovered that it is the truth that we had been searching for our whole lives. When you read the lives of the saints it is clear that God dwells within them. I encourage you to at least glance in the direction.
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." - Marcus Aurelius
That is an ignorant quote. Their is one god and his name is jesus. Jesus wants a personal relationship with you. He's not asking you to say 10 hail mary's and do the rosaries. He wants you to love him..thats all he wants. That quote is directly from satan.. as long as your not in a relationship with jesus .than satan already has you. Live a good life. Go ahead.but when you face the creator.what are you gonna say? I was a "good person" ..no .we send ourselves to hell. If you dont want jesus in your life on earth.hes not gonna make you spend eternity with him.wake up.
I love the new direction of the channel. But never stop posting outfit and style videos! I love your fits and many of them have inspired and informed my sense of style
Thank you for this Alpha... this was refreshing, and hearing the same thoughts and question is good (for those that have faith/believe in something other than themselves) to connect.
It’s healthy for men to have a spiritual life! Any man can be a macho man but it’s classy to be balanced as a man. Choose your own path. Thank you for sharing.
5:06 Yes Sir! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told people this when they start telling me blah blah! BE A GOOD PERSON and I believe that YOU are! Have a great day friend!👍👍👍😁😁
I'm a Muslim and I have been a subscriber since you had between 300-400,000 subs. I had the worst sense of fashion and you helped me out a lot. When it comes to religion recently I talk about this more openly and without shame. Never be embarrassed with religion something which is most important for eternal life but Satan keeps on making us feel embarrassed about it as part of his conspiracy
@@jkphilosophy101yes, yes they did. 🤦♂️. Why do you trust the Quran on what Jesus taught? It came 600 years later and couldn’t even get the Trinity right if it’s from Allah. He should know what Christians believe.
Religion is like a pair of shoes. Different religions fit different people, but we shouldn't be forcing others. I am a proud Christian, and I invite you and everyone watching to find a church that fits your views. If none of them fit, that's okay too!
@@johnny.d.1930 Some people like to place their own ideology on their religion, sometimes even ignoring certain tenets such as in the Book of Matthew when Jesus said "Love your neighbor and pray for your oppressors" or in the Quran when it says "if you kill one man, it is as if you killed all people." So, don't blame an overall religion for the ignorance of others.
@@FJano12 I suppose "fits your views" was the wrong choice of words. Not all churches are equal, and some people who practice a certain religion may say they uphold a sacred text (Bible, Quran, Torah, etc.), when they really only take what they want from it and ignore the rest. Some people may even be judgmental, which is something Christ told us not to do. But, the right place will uphold the entire text and welcome anyone who is willing to join with open arms. What I meant to say was to find a church that and where you feel welcome, safe, and feel that you learn something each time you attend.
Thanks Alpha.. being honest and vulnerable is never wrong. You talk straight always and I appreciate you always evolving… it makes me feel like I’m not the only one 🙏☮️💕
I genuinely appreciate the, new topic of conversation and the more genuine talking point and the lack of 40% of the video advert! Keep up the good work!
I took a similar journey as well, which also lead me to, I don’t want to say “become” an atheist, because I never truly believed. So I’ll say the journey lead me to admit that I was an atheist.
Brother I truly appreciate your honesty and sincerity with this post. Thanks for sharing and allowing yourself to be vulnerable! I myself grew Catholic and went down a journey myself of spiritual discovery and growth. I also had concerns, questions and things that didn't make sense or add up. So it's normal to question and okay to have things that don't sit well. I asked questions and found answers, but the more I found the more questions I had. I engaged others from other faith traditions in regular conversation and took a deep look at each one. So I can relate. I wouldn't delete.
I never thought I would find someone that thinks like me on this Aaron. I struggle to this day with this. I’m thankful to finally relate to someone. Much love brother. You’re amazing!
This was bold and brave to make content about this especially this day and age. God loves you and I will continue to support you too. Keep killing it👊🏽
Don't dismiss God or religion because of the horrors in the world, dismiss God and religion as of all species on this planet, humans are the only one living in belief of something else. Every other species, we think is beneath us, and kill them for food or lock them in Zoos, they eat, sleep, mate and die. The cycle of life. I became an atheist when my grandmother died and felt freer and happier ever since. I feel love and acceptance for every one. I beleive it is the truth. Have Faith in yourself, then you won't need a religion to feel content.
What I really love most about this is your unapologetic authenticity. I’ve always enjoyed your channel and content. I think it’s amazing that you’re pivoting to what right for your heart brother!! Love ❤️ 🦾🏆🔥
I dig what you're saying. What I have came to is that religions for the most part are like brands of water, but at the end of the day, water is water, and I feel like the most natural and pure version of that is where it's at.
And yet, there is a religion that can be interpreted to lead people to kill. To strap an explosive device to themselves and kill people. This same religion calls for gays to be murdered. It calls for women to be subjugated. Is this religion the same as others?
Wow. When I saw the title of this video, I cringed….however this is probably your best video yet! Why? Because for the first time I was able to see a side of you I can relate to on one of the most basic, humane levels….and it moved me. Much appreciated, Alpha 💯
Love what you said "be a good person and help people" that's more than enough to keep living. I used to be a hardcore catholic, joined the church and services for years but I saw so much hypocrisy and self righteousness, so I left and became agnostic. Some people came after me for losing faith and some told me God will come back to you in time. It's still a journey/process but the guy who told me that I will find God in time restored my faith.
You did so much money, don't you think it's time to search about the after life? The thing that is better than this life and will remain forever? Please read this book "Jesus more than a carpenter" by Josh Macdowell. If you're searching for a scientific proof for Jesus and Christianiry being the only religion for you to be saved.
What scientific proof does Josh Macdowell provide in that book. As far as I understand there isn’t and never can be proof for the supernatural. You just have to believe it on blind faith.
@@Columbo-r4z it proves everything in a scientific way. Listen, all historians say that Jesus Christ and his 3 years of preaching and His crucifixion are all proven facts. Roman preserved history proves it. Jewish Talmud proves it. And letter to roman kings proves it also historical monuments of his desciples and all that is written in the bible concerning the places of these monuments. Concerning his desciples they were killed for preaching what they saw, would you die for a lie? No. But what they saw was greater than life itself. Read it man. Your after life is the most precious investment you can make.
I am in tears. I have been a subscriber for almost a decade and watched with delight as your channel grew and evolved. I have never been more proud Aaron. Well done.
I’ll say this. Some of the most hateful, bigoted, and judgmental people I have ever met identify as Christians. Some of the kindest people that I’ve ever met have no religion at all. People can do with that what they will.
4:53 God is the only one who says who goes to where. We can't say as humas because we don't know where we are going if our good deeds are not up to par. God loves and forgives even where you mess up.
Much respect to you for opening up on newer subjects. I appreciate this realness you’ve delivered and the vulnerability you’ve shown here. I like this new approach on the alpha m. Channel. I look forward to seeing you continue to experiment more on new subjects and ideas that others are scared to touch 👍🏽
A) Please provide evidence for the existence of God B) Please provide evidence of your God as opposed to all the other gods and religions. How do you know there aren't many Gods in the universe? C) How do you know what God is, what he wants and what are his properties. How do you know so much about the divine as a simple mortal? Where is the evidence for this? D) How come people always believe in the religion where they grew up like programming and how come religion is almost always regional. E) How come those various religious books contain mistakes, contradictions and immoralities? F) If I find a Spiderman comic book 1 thousand years from now, does it mean Spider-Man was real? The average education of people 2000 years ago was less than a 7-year-old child in 2024, how can you believe their testimony? Would you believe the testimony of a 7 year old child if he claimed he saw Aliens?

@@therealmac25 Instead of hiding behind some RUclipsr, why don't you prove any of the points I have made without using the same 20 fallacies that 99% of Christians use.
With the Trend of various creators on YT and get a hold on this, tells me that the Flood Gates are open. Been a Fan for years on your content, even as a Teenager, and to see you open about this is awesome to see! Don't delete this❤ This Video Stays
Completely agree AM - the more you know about the world and it's different cultures and religions, the harder it is to believe in one of them. Great video
This is the first alpha m videos I've watched since high school. I think this video says a lot about Aarons character and that he is really trying to help people with these videos. He definitely did for me when I was younger. This is cool!
1:34 - I find it amazing how many people share the same experience. I'm not Italian, but I grew up in a Catholic household. Though I still believe in God, I don't practice or attend church that often, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Everyone is on their own journey and path in life. I really appreciate you putting out this video.
Dude I just discovered this channel and am uncovering the goldmine of self-care/style and male grooming tips. But also as an older guy I can appreciate the need to focus more on the philosophical, mental game and the need to focus on what your (and our) impact and legacy in the world will be. I’d suggest you don’t necessarily need to burn down to old to make room for the new. I think you can do both under the title of “self improvement” and have the benefit of retaining what much of your original audience signed up for while also moving forward with new topics.
7:33 some people blindly follow but if you live out what the bible talks about you'll realize it's the truth. Christianity isn't a religion it's a life style, a walk with God
@raynesispearl2650 faith without works is dead, you have to live it out not just believe it. If you don't live the lifestyle of someone who believes what the bible says you can't truly call yourself a Christian, and nobody is perfect but we as "christians" have a perfect example to follow
Long time viewer and follower here. I don’t think I have ever commented before but, for what it’s worth…. Great video. Very heartfelt and thought provoking without being bias. Keep em coming
It's good to ask questions especially on what matters most. It allows you to find the truth and not be gullable. I commend you for that. I love me some praise and worship with Non denominational 😂😂 keep it up bro. Faith and God sure is with you!
Thanks for opening up, I can understand. Sometimes I feel confused by things that go on around my life but then I think and remember that I need to have faith because that’s all I have at those moments. On May 5th my wife had a TBI, just 3 days after we got married. I’ve always believed in god but there’s a part of me that be like “why you make me suffer” anyway I started praying so hard so so hard crying on my knees. I was alone without her for 5 weeks. I always felt like I’m a weak person but man, I am proud of the way I took it, I cried every night going to sleep but always remained strong with faith. I truly felt a spirit there with me. Just watching over me. She is much better now, she’s herself , going therapy because she has trouble speaking but I am glad she’s with me still.
Been watching you since your channel first came around. Its good to have these discussions Aaron, even though by having the discussions you may upset some. You should leave this video up, I think its very authentic and I know that is what you are going for moving forward. I'm looking forward to continue watching your videos! Thanks Alpha.
Couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve came up with the same conclusions on religion in my life. I’ve always admired your ability to be vulnerable and share your thoughts and experiences in life. Love your “reset” on the channel so far 😀
“Be a good person and help people.” I believe you’ve nailed it in its simplicity. And when we start diving into all the different theology and doctrines we end up creating a god in our own egoic image. Then we divide over things instead of finding unity.
I appreciate you sharing. I am one of those believer's - thanks for not trashing what I believe. Good video - I like where you're going with the new alpha.m :)
Yesss more of these please !!! I despise religion and hate the concept of it , and it’s all Ridiculous and love what you said here 1000% !! You make soooo many valid points !!
Thanks for opening up abt it man. I feel all your questions and they are all valid. Keep searching for the truth bro. I've been reading Ecclesiastes lately and it addresses all those topics, highly recommend it!
I appreciate you and for sharing from your heart. Please don't delete this 🙏🏻

Agreed.

There’s a difference in christianity and religion.
Yes Christianity is proven facts while Religions are changed wording into lies deceptions and exaggerations Jesus is our savior and Christianity is the Truth that's been proven and is still being proven so the difference is Christianity is Truth and Religion is Lies good job at knowing the difference not many people do understand the difference
Many differences, yup. One of the big ones is that religion is blindly following without actual proof. Scientists these days are having a much harder time disproving God's existence than ever before. I've been a follower of Christ for the majority of my life. I made the decision to become a Christian at a very young age, and recommitted my life to Him several times. I'm not perfect, but I'm also not believing everything others say. If someone is referencing a Bible verse, I'll read along to make sure they're not adding or otherwise changing what God has actually had put in there
Christianity is a religion. I'm a Christian and I'm not ashamed to call a dog a dog
Are u slow
Gentlemen, Plz read the bible again with the mindset the bible is our Manual. Instruction on how we should live our lives. Jesus didn't bring a religion to Earth. Man created religion. Think about it. God and Jesus didn't bring a religion to earth. ruclips.net/video/BFko15cgDqc/видео.html

Relationship > Religion
Yes, Jesus hated religion. He told the pharisee’s “you hypocrites! You do not enter the Kingdom and you stop those from entering in.” Religion is mankind making God in their image and it gets in the way of what God is trying to do.
Relationship with Jesus >>> Relationship with Religion
This is a good excuse to not go to church. Thanks, buddy!
🐾🐾🐾
@@roneldell5137 i think there is too much emphasis on myself, my family, my neighborhood, my church - love people - relationship over getting attendance points at church
Were in a free will world. God gives us all free will. Its not God's fault
Even Jesus had to suffer. Why would we think we should be treated any better than he was?
I believed there was a God my whole life, searched in many ways to find purpose and peace including drinking/drugs, sex with strangers, crystals, fortune teller readings, witchcraft and the like. at 23 I came to my end and hated the way I was living. I prayed that if there was a God that He would reveal Himself to me or kill me because I was suicidal. I met Jesus on April 23rd of 2022 and I will never be the same. He is real. He is indeed God. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He changed my whole life. God bless.
God bless you
God Bless You, Devon!
On April 23rd, 2022, Jesus was in my backyard fixing the fence, there's no way he was at two places at the same time. He's highly productive but I don't think he can do magic like that. Strange...
My thoughts exactly brother... I couldn't have worded it any better... March 4, 2007 was the day I met Him (3-4-07).
I appreciate you sharing this brother! Thankful to know we're on the same team... 😉🙌
God bless you and everyone reading this... He loves you today and so do I... 🛐
@NatanArk He created everything brother, Everything you see around you... and I can tell you He loves you today, and I do too. He does have a plan and a purpose for your life. God bless you and He will help you if you seek after Him. The humbling thing about it is He wants to... He's made it easy for us, We as humans make it difficult to give our lives to the Lord. I know, I was there @ 1 time, I had a ton of ?s, but I can tell you it's the best the decision I ever made surrendering my life to Him... He's helped me more than I can say... and He'll do the same for any1 who seeks after Him... He wants to have a relationship with all of us...
God bless you buddy! I hope this helps... He's a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Seek after Him today. He will meet you wherever you are...
There was this girl that I was dating, who I had no idea she was religious btw (she looked both physically and personality wise the complete opposite). Once she caught me off guard, as I had recently lost my grandpa and told her about my weak -almost non existent- connection with God. She smiled and told me "you know, the beautiful part of it all is that he loves you, he doesn't put pressure on you and will always be there waiting for you to come, and that moment could arrive at the most unexpected time, even when you're not seeking for it". I've not stayed in touch with her for a long time now, but, sometimes, somehow, I really believe her job in my life wasn't to be my partner, but to open my heart to the Lord. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not super religious on my daily basis, but one thing's true, up until that very moment when she told me that, I was dragging a lot of pain and suffering (my grandfather, family health issues, trouble to overcome an old break up which I thought was already something from the past...) and it suddenly went away. Once you realize you'll always have him, you're practically invincible
"I will NEVER leave You or forsake You." Heb. 13:5 Have heard that Scripture a million times but it never sunk in b/c of the things I've done in the past. The way You shared Your story #carloscaparroslledo1130 hit Me HARD - "...once You realzie You'll ALWAYS have Him, You're practically invincable.." wow - THANK YOU JESUS!! I'm a Believer. I have doubts and fears and a past just like everyone else and that doesn't stop when You become a Follower of Christ, but He helps me FOCUS on the Future He's already prepared for Me. I've been thru some stuff that NOBODY should EVER have to go thru and yep, I Believed during all that and it STILL happened, but I've also seen the Goodness of God and Miracles, Signs and Wonders that defy ALL human logic, mainly due to what He's done inside of Me and THAT pours out to Others. There's this phrase - "...and They'lll know We are Christians by Our Love." In this Day and age, it's hard to find Love that reaches out for no reason. God doesn't Love Us based on what's happened or how We Believe. IN fact, He Loves Us with NO reason. UNCONDITIONALLY - no 'if You do this..' or 'if You keep all the rules to this...' no! We Love others based on conditions (if You do this I'll do this...) God Loves UNCONDITIONALLY and ALWAYS WILL right up to the very end. What I LOVE about this conversation is People wonder and think to Thermselves "...am I missing something?" There's a curiousity and that's a GOOD thing because from what I KNOW, that's the START of Your Faith Journey. Do I have ALL the answers? Nope - no way. But I know the God Who DOES. My Prayer is that He reveals Himself to YOU in a way that transforms EVERYTHING about You and Your Life - FOR THE BETTER!!! Know this - that NO MATTER WHAT - God LOVES YOU!!!
That is an awesome comment. and the truth is I kind of get it
@@ModemorphThat's a GREAT way to put it. She was very well spoken. I also believe that people sometimes have a special purpose in life... People drift in and out of our lives all the time, but there are a few that really change our lives, for the rest of our lives.
❤❤❤❤❤❤Love that for you brother, bless her. I hope she someday knows what she was able to do for you
@@Kinobambino I really hope so too
I had the same question as you, “Why does not God stop suffering?” My dad answered, “If he intervenes, there would be no free will to man-kind, and all the suffering in this world is being caused by men and their consequences, not God or Allah.” I am still figuring things out myself.
We live in a sinful world but I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord is the only true Christ and true son of God and God in the flash and there be a day of his second coming but no men no angles even the the creases on earth or in the sea, but only God knows the hour and day of the second coming of the Lord .
Human ego. We inadvertently cause these atrocities (sometimes directly) to happen then we turn around and blame God
Am Italian too. I passed a period similar to yours. Is critical because there are a lot of questions that seem has no answers. And certain things that seems imposed from your original family religion.
This period was difficilt to me because I had a lot of things to deal with and to solve, like how to cure my phisique, how to dress ecc...And the thing that was more problematic was the fact that i had like a black hole inside of me that made me obsessed with buying new stuff and achive a lot of empty goals.
Once i restarted my process of reconciliation with God and my faith, my hole was filled. I started to gain more without even ask. More than when i was obsessed.
This year i had my catholic confirmation.
My life is better now.
DONT delete this BROTHER , PEOPLE NEED to hear this !!!
No they dont this is demonic as hell, cause being good wont get you into heaven. He has no idea what hes talking about
@@Tjtellsthetruth Woah. I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is demonic or not. I'm Christian nor Catholic but I do a lot of good deeds and some bad ones (I'm not perfect since God is only being that is) but I try my best to do what is right. So will I go to hell just because I don't believe in the Bible? No, of course not because that would not make any sense. Would you send your child to jail if they were to steal something at home?
@@hardicdubb ITs not about judging at all, its about saving peoples live's as a prophet of the lord HAVE to, you don't understand. When you make a covenant with God you have to keep it, and the exact thing your saying is why so many people are condemned to hell. Because christianity isnt about showing up on sunday its about the Gospel and the relationship with Jesus Christ the early church was just that and only that and all it shouldve ever been. Everytime we stray from that we end up worshipping man, and the Roman Catholic church is bad, the Catholic church isnt.
@@Tjtellsthetruth so about places where Christianity is non-existent?
@@Tjtellsthetruth sundays are pagan
I respect you making a video , because it’s a very contentious topic , I was atheist for 20 years and I’ve been through the ringer , I’ve watched you for years and years my highs my lows , I prayed to Jesus at my very lowest 4 months ago and I watched him change my heart and take away my anxiety and my depression I watched him save mybaby that’s in the nicu right now , and I watched him save my wife who almost died , I’ve watched him put me in The path of people who need me , I’ve watched him save and I’ve watched him work , I am truly alive now because of him
❤❤❤❤So beyond happy for you brother, when we put our ego aside and work on presenting ourselves as authentically as we can to him things begin to change. But that's a very hard point to get to
"i found God reading this Bible, and today's video sponsor, the Pete&Pedro Bible, Alpha M Version!"
I'm just kidding, great message. And I pray that everyone will find the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. | Meaning noone can enter heaven by being "Good" and noone can be "Good" because something that is "Good" is "Good" all the time. not just part of it. You only get into heaven by believing the Gospel and wanting a Relationship with Jesus Christ.
Who cares what an old anonymous book says.
@@Columbo-r4z It's not the book that matters, but the God responsible for its divine inspiration. Either you believe in a universe with a God, or you believe in a universe that's a simulation. Anything else is intellectually dishonest and if you can't look around you and see that there is a designer you are blind. I was an Atheist who only believed in Science, then I searched for Truth actually took time to study history for context, and as well as evaluated other religions. Quantum Physics Schrodingers Cat proves that our Universe can only exist if there is an Observer at all times, meaning a God.
@@Tjtellsthetruth
Quoting bible verses won’t get you anywhere with people who don’t believe it. That’s what I meant.
🙏🏾
I’m a Christian. But you are wrong, all that is good is Godly, and all that is Godly may enter the kingdom. The kingdom dwells within us all. Open your mind, the Bible is meant to be studied and interpreted not taken literally
I don't watch this channel but I saw it come across my recommendations and listened to the entire video. I think it was well thought out, you asked all the right questions, and you seem to have an honest open mind. So allow me to give you my perspective.
I was raised and grew up catholic my entire life. I went to church on Sundays everyday for years. Went to a Christian/Catholic school. Never took my faith seriously and never really cared about God beyond what I was told. I had always thought that being a good person was pretty much all we had to do and continued to live my life the way I saw fit. As I grew older I began to question what I was doing with my faith. Was there even a God in the first place? I began to hate going to church on Sundays because with the way they were raising me and my siblings, they too could care less about the "faith" they claimed to have. I was questioning, why believe in something big and not even take it seriously. I decide to have a deep search for my faith, and if I got nothing out of it, I would simply just be an atheist. I was willing to convert entire religions, why? Because if there is a God whom exist, you ought to worship him for who he is and NOT who you want him to be. It simply doesn't matter beyond that.
First I needed to know if there is a God and why? The answer to that question is yes. There definitely is a God. How do you come to terms with this? Ask yourself questions that would only make sense if a God existed. What are the origins of the universe? Something eternal has to exist in order for creation to start. Is it possible to create a concept and idea that wasn't already created before? What do I mean by this? Ideas and concepts of any sort were never created simply discovered. A basic level to understand this is to watch any movie/TV show that depicts alien life. Why is the alien always depicted as a humanoid or something animalistic. In other words why are the alien creatures made up of body parts from animals and humans that already existed. It simply doesn't matter what the shape of the alien is it is not original. Take Godzilla for example or the xenomorph from Aliens vs Predators. These are two different creatures that humans put together to depict a form of life we have never seen before right? How do they go about doing this. They take ideas of what life already existed and use that formant. Godzilla and the Xenomorph have teeth, legs, arms, scales, etc. These are already created concepts within already living creatures that we know that has been around for thousands of years. I challenge you to create an alien creature without using body parts and physical features/concepts that don't already exist in humans and other animals. It simply can't be done. And this concept can be applied to virtually any idea, not just the idea and creation of life. If humans can't create something completely original from the realms of this reality who can? Somebody had to have done it.
The second part of this topic is what is the reason you wake up everyday. In biblical terms it is said that we are created to worship. This is not just a saying. It is very literal and actually explains what we as humans, (and I mean every single one of us) do by default, and that is to worship. We all are worshipping something. What does this mean. Ask yourself the question, what is the reason that you wake up everyday. What keeps you going, what gives you the reason to even live in the first place. Whatever that thing or person is, is untimely what you worship. Old English word for worship is "weorþscipe" and that means to means "worthiness" or "to give worth." What is it in life that you give worth and ultimate high value to. For some people it's money, others relationships, maybe dreams, or their children. We are worshipping something in life whether you acknowledge it or not.
So, if there is a God, and we are meant to worship. Which God is it? And why do we ought to worship that God.
I am speaking from a Christian perspective. From a biblical context we are all in danger of the hell fire. We as humans being are wicked and evil at our core. The idea of being perfect is completely foreign and incomprehensible to us because we have truly fallen. How do we know this? The commandments that God gives us simply let us know what we should have been able to do without fault. The standard of what Sin is to God is so high because of how perfect and holy he is. On average, humans have 6000-60,000 thoughts a day. How many thoughts are wicked/evil and careless out of that? How many things you didn't do that you should have done every single day? Sin in the eyes of God is like a court of law, when you commit an offense you have to pay that offense via jailtime. The sin that we commit by God is so high that nothing you do can ever repay it. This is why being "a good person" will never work and it will take something much more precious than our small deeds compared to our thousands of bad deeds to make up for it. A criminal who commits a crime can't do a good deed and say to the judge "can i be let go now?" It's not how it works. That is why God sent his son to die for humanity, for those who believe in his son and the price he paid for us we are wiped clean with his blood and we are able to be forgiven of the debt of sin which no good deeds can ever repay. This is where that saying "No one can come to the father except through Jesus".
Where does the concept of religion come from? Religion has always been a thing even throughout the bible. People in their automatic desire to worship something decide to worship whatever they please even their own gods. Religion comes from people who value tradition over Gods actual divine nature. It comes out of those who want to worship God for what they WANT him to be and not for who he is.
The definition of love is patience, sacrifice, and generosity. That's what the God of the bible is. Love doesn't always fell good. Why do bad things happen in this world? Because it was fallen starting from the garden with the apple being eaten. I look at it like this.

Amazing work, You spoke my mind thankyou Holy Spirit
Bro! I love how you are promoting the importance of a platform to have these discussions! A soft landing place for anyone, to ask any questions. Because this topic DOES have an impact on us and what’s been set in our hearts.
Thank you for sharing this so courageously! We can hold differing viewpoints, but in the end, I DO honour your viewpoints and what you’re doing to help others. So good.
I love the direction you're going. Real topics about life. Keep it up Alpha❤. Don't delete this!
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:23
We need Jesus because of sin. Sin separates us from God. Christ died for us to wipe our sin clean.
Sin= Death. Christ= Life.
Even those in remote tribes will hear, we all have a choice to choose Christ or reject Him.
I reject Christ because Christianity isnt true
God created sin, unless you believe god isn’t omnipotent. He knew eve was gonna eat from the tree, he knew satan was gonna rebel against him. He knew sin would still be an issue after drowning 90% of the world in noahs flood. Christianity isnt coherent so its stupid
God caused all this suffering for what???? So he can have people in heaven worship him like people do in north korea. Ur god is a stupid creation from humans. Im assuming u dont know the other gods like el, baal. Do u know why the Israelites chose yahweh as their god? Do ur research
@@shabanshabani7721exactly.. he even knew there would be atheists and believers in other religions before they were even born, so why did he create them? Just so that he could send them all to.hell? 😂
Arbitrary, man-made ideas being falsely attributed to a Devine power. I’ve known enough non-Christians who are good people to know how ridiculous of a concept that is.
Follower for years and this by far, is one of the best and most thought provoking!
Aaron, do not delete this video. It communicates some things that I also believe.
I hope the both of you find more enlightenment however it comes
Brother Christianity is not a religion it’s a way of life. But Jesus said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. So we are all sinners . Who is worthy none besides thee Jesus Christ Lord and savior 🙏🏼💪🏽🔥
I'm not sure you ever read these cause you get so many. But I've been watching your channel since I was starting high school. You've been basically like a dad to me. I'm 25 now. All my sense of style (which my friends constantly compliment and admire), my confidence and a bit of my personality I owe to having watched each one of your videos every day before starting school or uni.
I studied theology. And also delved in world religions, though I don't share the same views as you I just want to THANK YOU for opening up about this.
It was so refreshing to hear you speak openly about this and just freely share where you're at with such an open mind. These conversations are so important and so meaningful. I could tell you were speaking from the heart.
The biggest thing that saddens me about religion and spirituality is that it is so central to us as humans. It is basically at is core meaning. What you believe about yourself, eternity, God and the universe shapes the way we view and do everything because it determines what life means for us personally. And it saddens me because talking about this can be so enriching and connect us on an existential level, but it's been used so much for the polar opposite. To tear down and divide us.
I know this is a long comment, and I don't know if I managed to explain myself well, but it made me SO happy just to hear you talking about this!! THANK YOU!!
Italian from a super Catholic family here. I graduated the Catholic school system entirely godless. By God's saving grace, He pulled me out of the mud. I now attend a local baptist church and stay involved with small group meetings. I pray the Lord shows you the way. We suffer because we are a fallen, sinful world. By our own doing. Also, the Bible clearly states everyone on Earth will have a chance to have heard the gospel. That includes those isolated tribes.
Yes.... Be a good person IS the energy of ALL religious and spiritual teachings. Thank you for your humility and courage to convey this important message, Brother. Stay safe, well and blessed.
Unfortunately it’s not that simple.
It's just that "good" is defined differently in different religions and ideologies, e.g. referring to the classifications of humans, who is to count as "worth living" or "unworthy" of it, divided by the line of if you belong to them or not... That's my problem with religions or their orthodox branches which have never been reformed, yet wreak havoc in modern societies.
How good do you have to be?
That Christian ex girlfriend of yours definitely needs to get out of that church. This is how I see it. Heaven is relationship with God, Hell is separation from God. Because Jesus died on the cross for sinners we can have a relationship with God but in the end we choose whether we go to heaven or hell, not because you're gay or whatever but because we're sinners.
Exactly
Amen 🙏🏽✝️ Jesus be with everyone
Gay's that don't repent and stop their sin also don't accept the Lord as their savior then I've got bad news according to the scriptures because I'm not the judge Jesus is so im just saying based on the scriptures
Gays have the urge to make sexual acts with the same sex, so men have the urge to do sexual acts with multiple women they find attractive. Is it the right thing to do though? No. Sex is acceptable only inside marriage and between a wife and a husband.
Gay is a sin. People are confusing smh!
My son passed away in the NICU in mid September. It’s hard to believe in god after that. It’s hard to believe in anything. I hate it when people say god has a plan or he’s in a better place. It feels like BS. Why my son. Why an innocent baby. Why my child. And for anyone who says he’s in a better place. The best place for my son was in my arms while I read him a story and give him the biggest hug and kiss in the world.
No words: save we too much to soon will follow those whom we love. 😢
The human is first of all gods creation and after that we all are childrens of over parents.
But believe me god knows well then us that what is good for us and what is not good for us
By the way I feel sad to hear about your child.he will be in heaven with god
I'm sorry to read this. There are no words that would make sense or can alleviate the pain. Just think of the people who are still with you, they are a very real reason.
My brother passed away in May. I understand where you say why would God would do this. All I can say is read the Book of Job in the bible. I can tell you my faith is stronger now than ever. If you’re easily broken when you’ve had an easy life than I can never trust you when hardships come your easily breakable and the devil can get you to betray your father.
You’re brave for posting, it takes a lot of courage and emotional strength to share this with the public. Keeping it Alpha!
DO NOT DELETE THIS, ALPHA! This is the TRUTH!!!
It’s best to educate yourself on different religions rather than letting uneducated people teach you what they say
Just ignore these and look for the bible verses
Appreciate the message here Aaron. You aren’t alone in. Many of us feel the same way.
alpha m ... your honesty does you credit. 90% of Christians don't have that courage and thus will never ask the tough questions. They preach and they judge but will never escape that mentality
Pray to God to guide you to the straight path. As Muslims we pray to God every day to guide us to the straight path.
Guide us along the Straight Path, (Quran 1:6)
the Path of those You have blessed-not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.1 (Quran 1:7)
Came for the fashion advice, stayed for the philosophy
I had a similar conclusion in 20+ years a go in grade school, I (Catholic), was sitting with a Muslim, a Jew, and a Buddhist and we figured out “We are all trying to get into heaven in our own way”
I’ve been going through a bit of an existential dilemma this year. With that said, this video dropped at such a good time. It’s very reassuring knowing that so many other people share these same spiritual ideologies. Thanks, alpha!
C.S. Lewis was in the same place. His book "Mere Christianity" is a great read.
I used to be in the same boat about not knowing anything about religion. My best friend got into perennialism (the belief that all religions are valid) and we both subscribed to that idea. It is after that that we found the Holy Orthodox Church ☦️, the church founded by Jesus Christ himself, and discovered that it is the truth that we had been searching for our whole lives. When you read the lives of the saints it is clear that God dwells within them. I encourage you to at least glance in the direction.
While I don’t agree with your conclusion, I 100% agree it’s important to discuss. Love that you’re putting this thought provoking content out there 🙌🏽
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
- Marcus Aurelius
That is an ignorant quote. Their is one god and his name is jesus. Jesus wants a personal relationship with you. He's not asking you to say 10 hail mary's and do the rosaries. He wants you to love him..thats all he wants. That quote is directly from satan.. as long as your not in a relationship with jesus .than satan already has you. Live a good life. Go ahead.but when you face the creator.what are you gonna say? I was a "good person" ..no .we send ourselves to hell. If you dont want jesus in your life on earth.hes not gonna make you spend eternity with him.wake up.
That is awesome. Marcus Aurelius was a genius.
I love the new direction of the channel. But never stop posting outfit and style videos! I love your fits and many of them have inspired and informed my sense of style
The short summary you said about all religions, I noticed that too...Truly, the most important thing is to be a good person.
What is good? What is barometer? Good is subjective, there has to be a standard.
You should read (More than a Carpenter). It really helped me understand an answer many questions I had.
Never stop asking God for guidance and purity to the truth.
Thank you for this Alpha... this was refreshing, and hearing the same thoughts and question is good (for those that have faith/believe in something other than themselves) to connect.
It’s healthy for men to have a spiritual life! Any man can be a macho man but it’s classy to be balanced as a man. Choose your own path.
Thank you for sharing.
Do not delete sir, we need to get into this. Love from NC, thank you for hitting on this.
5:06 Yes Sir! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told people this when they start telling me blah blah! BE A GOOD PERSON and I believe that YOU are! Have a great day friend!👍👍👍😁😁
This video is a must watch.i need to see and hear this alpha m.
I'm a Muslim and I have been a subscriber
since you had between 300-400,000 subs. I had the worst sense of fashion and you helped me out a lot. When it comes to religion recently I talk about this more openly and without shame. Never be embarrassed with religion something which is most important for eternal life but Satan keeps on making us feel embarrassed about it as part of his conspiracy
If you ever want to discuss about religion I am open for talk
no true prophets never ever said/taught about Allah. checkbthe hebrew name meaning of yahiYAH, zachariYAH..
@@vazhipokkaN1 No tru Prophet ever mentioned Jesus too 😆
@@jkphilosophy101yes, yes they did. 🤦♂️.
Why do you trust the Quran on what Jesus taught? It came 600 years later and couldn’t even get the Trinity right if it’s from Allah. He should know what Christians believe.
Satan started your religion
Bro, keep making these videos. Keep speaking and rambling! It helps you and it helps others in need. Helps me!
Religion is like a pair of shoes. Different religions fit different people, but we shouldn't be forcing others.
I am a proud Christian, and I invite you and everyone watching to find a church that fits your views. If none of them fit, that's okay too!
Good analogy!
What about a religion that forces you to do things? Abhorrent things?
Proud Christian never says find your church that fits your views lol
@@johnny.d.1930 Some people like to place their own ideology on their religion, sometimes even ignoring certain tenets such as in the Book of Matthew when Jesus said "Love your neighbor and pray for your oppressors" or in the Quran when it says "if you kill one man, it is as if you killed all people."
So, don't blame an overall religion for the ignorance of others.
@@FJano12 I suppose "fits your views" was the wrong choice of words. Not all churches are equal, and some people who practice a certain religion may say they uphold a sacred text (Bible, Quran, Torah, etc.), when they really only take what they want from it and ignore the rest. Some people may even be judgmental, which is something Christ told us not to do. But, the right place will uphold the entire text and welcome anyone who is willing to join with open arms. What I meant to say was to find a church that and where you feel welcome, safe, and feel that you learn something each time you attend.
Thanks Alpha.. being honest and vulnerable is never wrong. You talk straight always and I appreciate you always evolving… it makes me feel like I’m not the only one 🙏☮️💕
Man Alpha.. I feel you bro! I do. I feel a good bible study will really help you. Let’s do a Zoom
I genuinely appreciate the, new topic of conversation and the more genuine talking point and the lack of 40% of the video advert! Keep up the good work!
5:22 there can only be one truth
This is my favourite video that you made so far!
I believe in God, but i don't label myself Christian. I don't like labels. To me a belief in God, helps keep your moral compass in line.
Where do your morals come from? A God is simply a higher being. A religion interprets the wishes of this God.
Manmade nonsense...better go pray to Superman or Batman
Thanks for being transparent Brother and thank you for also allowing us to walk with you through your journey. Love and respect from Hampton, Georgia.
I shared the same journey and became an atheist. I live a good life and let others live their lives as they choose without judgment.
Peace
You have made YOUR CHOICE to not believe but because i care about your salvation. I will pray against that.
I took a similar journey as well, which also lead me to, I don’t want to say “become” an atheist, because I never truly believed. So I’ll say the journey lead me to admit that I was an atheist.
Brother I truly appreciate your honesty and sincerity with this post. Thanks for sharing and allowing yourself to be vulnerable! I myself grew Catholic and went down a journey myself of spiritual discovery and growth. I also had concerns, questions and things that didn't make sense or add up. So it's normal to question and okay to have things that don't sit well. I asked questions and found answers, but the more I found the more questions I had. I engaged others from other faith traditions in regular conversation and took a deep look at each one. So I can relate. I wouldn't delete.
I never thought I would find someone that thinks like me on this Aaron. I struggle to this day with this. I’m thankful to finally relate to someone. Much love brother. You’re amazing!
My friend there is only one path to heaven, it's called Jesus. The world is the way it is because people do not accept Jesus as savior.
This was bold and brave to make content about this especially this day and age. God loves you and I will continue to support you too.
Keep killing it👊🏽
Don't dismiss God or religion because of the horrors in the world, dismiss God and religion as of all species on this planet, humans are the only one living in belief of something else. Every other species, we think is beneath us, and kill them for food or lock them in Zoos, they eat, sleep, mate and die. The cycle of life. I became an atheist when my grandmother died and felt freer and happier ever since. I feel love and acceptance for every one. I beleive it is the truth. Have Faith in yourself, then you won't need a religion to feel content.
As a fellow atheist, I couldn’t have said this better myself.
@@yankee4424 Thank you. 😊👍🏻
What I really love most about this is your unapologetic authenticity. I’ve always enjoyed your channel and content. I think it’s amazing that you’re pivoting to what right for your heart brother!! Love ❤️ 🦾🏆🔥
I dig what you're saying. What I have came to is that religions for the most part are like brands of water, but at the end of the day, water is water, and I feel like the most natural and pure version of that is where it's at.
And yet, there is a religion that can be interpreted to lead people to kill. To strap an explosive device to themselves and kill people. This same religion calls for gays to be murdered. It calls for women to be subjugated. Is this religion the same as others?
Don’t delete this! You are so right! You are a wonderful, moral, upright man, basically you are a good person!!!
Glad to know you!!!
Please research what it is to be "in a state of grace" in Catholicism. Once you are in that state, you will understand 💪
Wow. When I saw the title of this video, I cringed….however this is probably your best video yet! Why? Because for the first time I was able to see a side of you I can relate to on one of the most basic, humane levels….and it moved me. Much appreciated, Alpha 💯
There is a 10,000 religions out there in this fucking world
It's all just about tradition
Nothing else
The mark of true religion is Jesus Christ as the focus
@@Sam-yc4wiof course you’re going to claim yours is right! That’s what religions do 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love what you said "be a good person and help people" that's more than enough to keep living. I used to be a hardcore catholic, joined the church and services for years but I saw so much hypocrisy and self righteousness, so I left and became agnostic. Some people came after me for losing faith and some told me God will come back to you in time.
It's still a journey/process but the guy who told me that I will find God in time restored my faith.
You did so much money, don't you think it's time to search about the after life? The thing that is better than this life and will remain forever? Please read this book "Jesus more than a carpenter" by Josh Macdowell. If you're searching for a scientific proof for Jesus and Christianiry being the only religion for you to be saved.
What scientific proof does Josh Macdowell provide in that book.
As far as I understand there isn’t and never can be proof for the supernatural.
You just have to believe it on blind faith.
@@Columbo-r4z it proves everything in a scientific way. Listen, all historians say that Jesus Christ and his 3 years of preaching and His crucifixion are all proven facts. Roman preserved history proves it. Jewish Talmud proves it. And letter to roman kings proves it also historical monuments of his desciples and all that is written in the bible concerning the places of these monuments. Concerning his desciples they were killed for preaching what they saw, would you die for a lie? No. But what they saw was greater than life itself. Read it man. Your after life is the most precious investment you can make.
I am in tears. I have been a subscriber for almost a decade and watched with delight as your channel grew and evolved.
I have never been more proud Aaron. Well done.
The only "religion" anyone needs is "treat others the way you wish to be treated". Everything else is garbage.
Great video.
Jesus baby Jesus ❤❤
I’ll say this. Some of the most hateful, bigoted, and judgmental people I have ever met identify as Christians. Some of the kindest people that I’ve ever met have no religion at all. People can do with that what they will.
Alpha. I have watched on and off for years. My all time fav video. You showed some heart out there. Don't delete. Keep up the videos man!
4:53 God is the only one who says who goes to where. We can't say as humas because we don't know where we are going if our good deeds are not up to par. God loves and forgives even where you mess up.
Much respect to you for opening up on newer subjects. I appreciate this realness you’ve delivered and the vulnerability you’ve shown here. I like this new approach on the alpha m. Channel. I look forward to seeing you continue to experiment more on new subjects and ideas that others are scared to touch 👍🏽
A) Please provide evidence for the existence of God
B) Please provide evidence of your God as opposed to all the other gods and religions. How do you know there aren't many Gods in the universe?
C) How do you know what God is, what he wants and what are his properties. How do you know so much about the divine as a simple mortal? Where is the evidence for this?
D) How come people always believe in the religion where they grew up like programming and how come religion is almost always regional.
E) How come those various religious books contain mistakes, contradictions and immoralities?
F) If I find a Spiderman comic book 1 thousand years from now, does it mean Spider-Man was real? The average education of people 2000 years ago was less than a 7-year-old child in 2024, how can you believe their testimony? Would you believe the testimony of a 7 year old child if he claimed he saw Aliens?
Go to Jerusalem you'll find more than enough evidence of Jesus Christ.
You should check out Stuart Knechtle. He might help you out with your list.
@@therealmac25 I watched one of his videos. He would completely crumble in debates with Matt Dillahunty or Alex O'Connor.
The same fallacies in a circle.
@@PeterMasalski93 I guess this is where we agree to disagree.
@@therealmac25 Instead of hiding behind some RUclipsr, why don't you prove any of the points I have made without using the same 20 fallacies that 99% of Christians use.
With the Trend of various creators on YT and get a hold on this, tells me that the Flood Gates are open. Been a Fan for years on your content, even as a Teenager, and to see you open about this is awesome to see! Don't delete this❤ This Video Stays
religion is just a matter of geography
Completely agree AM - the more you know about the world and it's different cultures and religions, the harder it is to believe in one of them. Great video
This is really good. I like the new direction and your mindset of this channel going forward
It’s like you read my mind. I think this video is refreshing, and I’m that glad you shared.
Well said Alpha!
Be a good person and help people!
This is the first alpha m videos I've watched since high school. I think this video says a lot about Aarons character and that he is really trying to help people with these videos. He definitely did for me when I was younger. This is cool!
1:34 - I find it amazing how many people share the same experience. I'm not Italian, but I grew up in a Catholic household. Though I still believe in God, I don't practice or attend church that often, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Everyone is on their own journey and path in life. I really appreciate you putting out this video.
Dude I just discovered this channel and am uncovering the goldmine of self-care/style and male grooming tips. But also as an older guy I can appreciate the need to focus more on the philosophical, mental game and the need to focus on what your (and our) impact and legacy in the world will be. I’d suggest you don’t necessarily need to burn down to old to make room for the new. I think you can do both under the title of “self improvement” and have the benefit of retaining what much of your original audience signed up for while also moving forward with new topics.
7:33 some people blindly follow but if you live out what the bible talks about you'll realize it's the truth. Christianity isn't a religion it's a life style, a walk with God
Ig u could best describe it as faith instead of a lifestyle. Cuz everything is based on faith
@raynesispearl2650 faith without works is dead, you have to live it out not just believe it. If you don't live the lifestyle of someone who believes what the bible says you can't truly call yourself a Christian, and nobody is perfect but we as "christians" have a perfect example to follow
@@aBAY-c2c yup but the root is faith. Christianity is faith, being a Christian is both faith and action or lifestyle as u may say
Long time viewer and follower here. I don’t think I have ever commented before but, for what it’s worth…. Great video. Very heartfelt and thought provoking without being bias. Keep em coming
It's good to ask questions especially on what matters most. It allows you to find the truth and not be gullable. I commend you for that. I love me some praise and worship with Non denominational 😂😂 keep it up bro. Faith and God sure is with you!
Thanks for opening up, I can understand. Sometimes I feel confused by things that go on around my life but then I think and remember that I need to have faith because that’s all I have at those moments. On May 5th my wife had a TBI, just 3 days after we got married. I’ve always believed in god but there’s a part of me that be like “why you make me suffer” anyway I started praying so hard so so hard crying on my knees. I was alone without her for 5 weeks. I always felt like I’m a weak person but man, I am proud of the way I took it, I cried every night going to sleep but always remained strong with faith. I truly felt a spirit there with me. Just watching over me. She is much better now, she’s herself , going therapy because she has trouble speaking but I am glad she’s with me still.
Been watching you since your channel first came around. Its good to have these discussions Aaron, even though by having the discussions you may upset some. You should leave this video up, I think its very authentic and I know that is what you are going for moving forward. I'm looking forward to continue watching your videos! Thanks Alpha.
Thank you, appreciate you and your willingness to talk on this subject 🙏 🔥😎🔥
W video, very good points man, you're awesome man
Thanks for for being open, this is awesome.
Couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve came up with the same conclusions on religion in my life. I’ve always admired your ability to be vulnerable and share your thoughts and experiences in life. Love your “reset” on the channel so far 😀
Couldn’t agree more! I think this is exactly how I’ve felt for years!! Thank you for sharing!!
“Be a good person and help people.”
I believe you’ve nailed it in its simplicity. And when we start diving into all the different theology and doctrines we end up creating a god in our own egoic image. Then we divide over things instead of finding unity.
I appreciate you sharing. I am one of those believer's - thanks for not trashing what I believe. Good video - I like where you're going with the new alpha.m :)
Yesss more of these please !!!
I despise religion and hate the concept of it , and it’s all
Ridiculous and love what you said here 1000% !!
You make soooo many valid points !!
As an atheist, this channel just became more interesting... I know the struggle, embrace knowledge over faith. Don't delete this video.
May god help you
Thanks for opening up abt it man. I feel all your questions and they are all valid. Keep searching for the truth bro. I've been reading Ecclesiastes lately and it addresses all those topics, highly recommend it!
