New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) Watch the RUclips videos “The New Covenant” by Bob George, and David H.J. Gay.
Cliff needs to be saved and baptism and be taught about the mystery of Christ and God ....for only spiritual people can preach Christ because he is spiritual and God is spiritual Amen....right now he sending people to hell
@@ourworldupdates8317 that’s probably the most stupidest thing I’ve ever read. You must be a strange catholic.. Cliffe has probably done more for the public and Jesus’s word then any 5 priests would in a lifetime.
It's so awesome to watch Stewart grow in his tactics. I remember watching him first getting out there and of course he did good. But now he's like whoa, his points are on point now. He's sharpened his sword and it's awesome to watch him getting better and better!! Meeting him and Cliffe is a huge goal of mine!! Y'all are the best and then Frank Turek is next!!
Agreed, also check out Dr. Hugh Ross! He's a brilliant astrophysicist, who came to know that God exists through his scientific research, and then that the bible is true by comparing it to the other religious books. His lectures are mind blowing! For anyone that says "Science disproves God" send them videos of Dr. Ross :) also William Lane Craig and J Warner Wallace are great to check out! God bless!
@@bryant475 now see i know the other two and they are definitely great too, but I've never heard of Dr. Ross so i will definitely check him out!! Thanks for that I love discovering new apologists!!
@@alive4321 My pleasure! As a science person, he really helped me learn about the amazing evidences of God's existence throughout the universe, to the quantum scale and everything in between. Also, as a future physician, learning about how complex the body works, at the cellular/biochemical level, is mind blowing as well. In addition, learning about how good Nutrition from God's natural foods can prevent and reverse virtually all diseases, is further testament to this, God's amazing creation! Check out Dr. Joel Fuhrman to learn more about that! Spread the word! God Bless :)
@Only One Video Inside My Channel hello too for seeking what the real name the God of Ibrahim is just read al Quran the name is Allah so today your all should happy n bless to acknowledge name of God the one and only Almighty creator pure name Allah jesus also call God as Allaha in Aramaic term Arabic term Allah btw your all at west far away from middle east so the information surely leak like Chinese whisper game leak in original message...so nice c u..
It may be heart warming, but Stewart is not made for these debates like cliffe... i would love to see the torch passed to someone who could debate like stewart.
@@darkeen42 nah he holds his own against anyone. I’ve watched. At a certain level it just ends up just being agreeing to disagree. No one wins any of the real debates.
@@darkeen42 anytime someone says something positive. There always has to be a pessimistic, miserable empty person like you to respond with something negative. Grow up kid
His son is getting sharper and sharper and God makes no mistakes but we all know when Cliffe puts his hands on his knees and assumes that position, hes about to preach some fire 🔥😁
God makes no mistakes?????????? READ THE OLD TESTAMENT - it is a vile collection of wild-tales about a misogynistic, child murdering, disease spreading, selfish, jealous "god" who encourages murder, rape, incest, genocide and massacres. The N.T. fares little better - the four gospels disagreeing with each other - unsurprising really, since they were written hundreds of years apart by scribes who did not witness any of the purported events. Funny how the crucifixion and rebirth get little mention, except briefly in one volume? No mistakes - the whole man-made story is RIDDLED with mistakes.
I recently had a contentious argument on Twitter with this guy, and it was over the existence of God, the usual. He obviously claimed neither God nor "Gods" exist. Then at one point, I said to him: In your world-where there's no God, me and you are no different than Hitler. And our condemnation of his brutality has no value. He then seriously said, "unfortunately, that's true!". He went to that wicked length, just so he can be consistent with his atheistic logic. Incredible stuff!
@@theoskeptomai2535 You’re not verbally saying that, but your logic for denying God paves the way for such implication. After all, to you, Hitler is just a deceased evil lying somewhere in a coffin-where unfortunately, according to your logic, we all will be someday. In your world, anyone can do anything or be anything, and it still won’t matter because in the end, they’ll go to the same place we all will-the coffin, buried somewhere in this world. It’s your implication, not mine. 🤷🏽♂️
This is one of the best talks from Stewart I have seen. It is awesome to see how much he has grown and am glad to see what comes next. May God continue to bless your ministry.
He doesn't understand how to debate or stay on topic... I hope he can develop, but I really just think he will never be his father. He is good at other stuff. Cliffe needs to find someone who thinks like him to pass the torch.
@@jeffreyrobuck3288 You're misinterpreting scripture. A person who blasphemes God's name but turns and repents and receives Jesus is voided of that sin. To say that an unsaved sinner can't receive salvation because he/she blasphemed The Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirits name is heresy. Look at the apostle Paul? He persecuted God and killed believers yet he became a saint by God's grace. That verse is implying denying the Holy Spirit's conversion over you is the unforgivable sin.
@Our Savior I have NEVER heard any holy spirit "whispering" to me. Not even when I was a Christian. And yet I have never committed an evil act in my life. How do you explain this anomaly in your dogma?
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name! if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection: Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15......
the bible never mention he die for everyone acts 5/29/30/31 then peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey God rather than men the God of our fathers raised up yahawashi whom you murdered by hanging on a tree him God has exalted to his right hand to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins according to the bible the most high raised up yahawashi to be prince and saviour to Israel can you prove from the bible christ die for everyone where in scripture will I find that let's continue and forgiveness of sins never mention no other nation prove it

You're using curse words because you're cursed and you know you're cursed because it's so hard to stop cursing.

It kind of appears that Christians wants us to be stupid: Sign in front of a Church of Christ church: "The more 'Educated' we become the farther we move away from God" Sign in front of a Methodist church: "Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to" Sign in front of a Baptist church: "Faith sees God. Intellect does not" Sign in front of an Assembly of God church: "A free thinker is Satan's slave" Nope... no indications of indoctrination going on here, ladies and gentlemen.
Matthew 11:25, NIV: At that time Jesus said, 'I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
@@teacherkate690 Gee, thanks! Now I can seek wisdom from my 5-year-old grandson because things have been revealed to him and hidden from me. Are you saying that maybe I understood many things when I was 5, and now that I am older, this god decided to hide things from me? How exactly does that work? Better question: Why?
@@Generatorman59 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!"
*Isaiah* *53* *~* 'Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted. As many were astonished at you - his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind - so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand. Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore i will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors'.
Respect people but not the false religion. Christians should have no respect for any false religion, a half true is a whole lie. John 14:6 👑 “ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 and strait is the gate and narrow is the way too..Christ knows not many people will heed His call so what is your purpose exactly in raising Hitler and the Jewish holocaust when the topic is a New Testament Bible verse? Is it to somehow taint Christ and make Him responsible for the evil of a man or perhaps to taint Him somehow with the choice He asks people to make? And if people do not think He exists or think He was just a cult prophet, then they have absolutely no issue with ignoring the question He asks.
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 but why specifically bring up Hitler and Jews? Why not Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims and pagans and athiests? That is my question.

@@bluex.1016 Christ is actually Satan. Also note that the correct way to write Satan with a capital S. Just like you write God with a capital G. They are the same person and are confused with each other, especially by christians.
Either human intelligence ultimately owes its origin to mindless matter, or there is a Creator. It is strange that some people claim that it is their intelligence that leads them to prefer the first to the second.
Jesus is neither a false prophet (John 6:14/John 7:40/Isaiah 51:16/John 12:49, 50) nor did he claim to be God. John 8:58 Jesus is simply stating he is first in the resurrection even before Abraham. (Acts 26:23/Colossians 1:18/Revelation 1:5) at John 20:28 Thomas says what he says because of this (Acts 2:22 ; Acts 10:37, 38/John 1:18/Matthew 11:27/Luke 10:22) Adam was created in the image of God we are in Adams image (Genesis 5:3) Jesus is also in the image of God (Colossians 1:15) he being also the second Adam. (1 Corinthians 15:45) John 1:1 in the beginning which is the new beginning 1 John 1:1-4. Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8/ Apostles chosen before the foundation of the world. This is all about the new creation made in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) John 1:1 could have been translated and what God is the Word is. God is Spirit ( John 4:24 Jesus was raised in the spirit 1 Peter 3:18, and flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdoms of God 1 Corinthians 15:50) Jesus is the Son of God (Matthew 16:15-17) And yes all things are created in Christ (Colossians 1:16, 17/ Luke 22:28-30. May God open all hearts and minds to what the Bible truly teaches.
So true! And if Jesus always existed as the “second person” of the Trinity. Why was no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth worthy to take the scroll from God’s hand until Jesus? (Revelation 5:1-7 it’s because he didn’t exist yet.) And why is God Jesus’ God from the womb and not before the womb if he existed before the womb? Psalms 22:10 Also where is the Holy Spirits throne? And why are you forgiven if you speak against Christ (the second person of the Trinity) but not if you speak against the third person of the Trinity? Matthew 12:31, 32 Read the Bible yourself and stop listening to the devils church! 2 Corinthians 11:3, 4, 12-15 2 Timothy 4:1-5 2 Peter 2:1-22
Oh, never forget Galatians 1:6-10 You are accursed if you preach a different Christ or gospel. And they’ve been preaching a different Jesus even in the apostles time! You think they’ve kept the church holy and preaching the same Christ 2,000 years later when the apostles kept warning of false teachers among themselves?! Do your research, Adam was made of this earth (dust/dirt) Jesus can rightly say he comes from heaven because he was put in the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit which comes from heaven. Luke 1:30-35/1 Peter 1:12. So why is Jesus called the Son of God and not the Son of the Holy Spirit?
“But in John 17:5 Jesus says to the Father to glorify him with the glory he had with Him before the world was/existed/or is to be.” Yes, Jesus had glory with the Father while Jesus was on earth John 2:11/ John 11:4) the old age or world before his ascension to Gods right hand and the laying the new earth/world/ covenant in Jesus’s shed blood. Isaiah 51:16/Jeremiah 31:31-33 The real problem is most do not truly believe Jesus words at John 17:3
JESUS CHRIST (Alpha & Omega) IS THE ANOINTED KING.. The I AM.. The FULNESS of the GODHEAD dwelt in him BODILY.. The WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH who created ALL THINGS.. He is DEITY.. And he is the DOOR - nobody enters Heaven EXCEPT thru HIM ONLY.. SALVATION thru HIM ONLY.. Colossians 1:15-19 15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; If folks Refuse to WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST, and only want to pay homage to the Father, then Jesus will say to you "depart from me cause I never knew you".. Thanks and have a great day in the Mighty name of JESUS CHRIST!!
Yes Jesus is the anointed King doesn’t make him God. Jesus was given all authority in heaven and earth, all the fullness dwell in him because this authority was given to him by the one and only God. I AM/ego eimi translates “I am he” Used by Jesus, John 5:58 Healed blind man, John 9:9 Angel Gabriel, Luke 1:19 Apostle Peter, Acts 10:21 IT IS NOT A CLAIM TO DEITY As for Colossians 1:15-19 Jesus is the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45) made in the image of God. Is resurrected first before even Abraham (John 8:58) and God makes all things new made through Jesus’ sacrifice. Yes even things in heaven. Like the thrones the 12 apostles received. Luke 22:28-30/Revelation 5:9, 10 This is all after his obedient death and being resurrected to sit at God’s right hand. Jesus also hands the kingdom back to God 1 Corinthians 15:20-28
The one certain thing in life is that we're all going to die. What people believe during the time we're here is entirely up to them. As you go through life you may get raised to believe in one particular faith, and then later on in life, change your view based on many different factors, I was raised to believe the Bible was true, but slowly over time I've had to re-adjust my thoughts. The title of this video is "Jesus is Either a False Prophet or Who He Claimed To Be: GOD!" There is a much more realistic 3rd option in my humble opinion. He was just a normal guy like me and you, made of flesh and bone, but who died, and was later venerated by his followers into becoming a Legend, who did amazing supernatural feats, and happened to be the son of God himself.
If Jesus is who He claims to be (God), and if He truly did die and rise from the dead, it would be very very wise to worship Him. Why? Because the evidence is He is reliable. And if He truly did resurrect, that means He is reliable, and all that He said is true. If He was not God, that means He was lying and we should reject Him. There isn’t really a third option, we can all add a third or more options if we would like but we have to realize that when it comes to Jesus, He made a claim to be God. And He is either lying or speaking the truth. If He is lying, we should reject Him because the evidence is He is a liar and He is not reliable. But if He spoke the truth, we should put our faith in Him.
@@BeanZBoT Clearly you are a Christian Brian, that's fine, you're free to believe that, but that same "evidence" is available to over half the world, and they aren't buying it.. they have their own religions and beliefs, and good luck to them. Point me to the exact line in the New Testament where Jesus proclaims to be the One true God?
@Our Savior Thats fine if you truly believe that Jacob, and I have no reason to believe you don't believe in a life hereafter. As do virtually all other faiths. I'm clearly talking about our physical bodies.. your heart *will* stop beating one day and your brain activity will stop, then, it's death, nobody avoids physical death. Now whether there is some spiritual realm in which we live on, .. that is where faith kicks in, all Muslims, Hindu's, Christians, and even some non believers think we live on in some other realm/plane of existence. It's a nice thought I will grant you that. But how do we go about proving it?
@@LookOutForNumberOne Even the Mishna, written by Jews who were against Christianity, says that, if I'm remembering correctly, that Jesus was a "worker of wonders", though they were convinced that he did through demonic powers. Which if you read the Gospels, Jesus answers this when the Pharisees try to say he was casting out demons in the name of Beelezebub.
@@LookOutForNumberOne 100% a claim Sir, impossible to back up. The book claims he did amazing supernatural feats, I can't see how anyone can back it up and prove it.
🔶We all know that God is immortal! Means that God is not subject to death at all, at any form or shape! God cannot die at all, not for 3 days and not for 1 millisecond! God alone is immortal! means any person or thing who died Couldn’t be called God! But according to your believe, Jesus Died on the cross for 3 days! So Jesus was a mortal, he was subject to death! So Jesus is a mortals means he is not God at all! Because God alone is immortal!🌹♥️
@@ultracrepiderian 🔶Tell us how come Jesus was 100% human and 100% God at the same time? When Jesus cried, begged and asked his God to save him from the cross, was he also 100% God at that time?

@@joesephlebon see this is y i have a hard time believing ur an adult As i explained Jesus has 2 natures They don't mix or affect each other Their independent of each other When Jesus was on the cross death defeated his human nature but his divine nature was unaffected When he cried out to his father he did it as a human of course But there's no switching genius The divine is not affected by temporal things
@@ultracrepiderian 🔶So he was both at the same time? So when he cried asking help from his God, he didn’t knew that he was also God, right? Or he was acting? Because God couldn’t ask an other God for help! Was he asking himself to help him? ♥️🌹

I'm not sure why this guy thinks Spinoza had some major influence on Church doctrine, I dont remember him even being mentioned anywhere. Must be a New Age thing.
If "God" the father of Jesus planned for his son to be sacrificed just so he can be brought back to life to go to heaven? Then there isn't really any sacrifice. It is so foolish to still believe this crap. If Jesus is god in the physical form how is he the son of god and not god in general? How are you both the father and the son? It's a shame there are so many senseless people living among us. If this world belongs to Satan as every Christian believes, then what makes you think the BUYBULL isn't a part of Satan's trick? Cliff you're a funny guy! Stop brainwashing the youth like your parents and pastors brainwashed you and how you brainwashed your son.
How do you know what the sacrifice actually entailed that you treat it so casually? Do you understand it completely? If you call Christianity rubbish, is that because you understand it totally and from everyone's (including God's) perspective? Or do you just cast judgement based on some superficial understanding you hold?
@@j_p_jr.487 because it is timeless and the principles are the same then as now; people have not changed. There were people with the same intelligence and emotional state and drives back then as today. And it was inspired by the spirit of God not just the imagination of a goatherder. Further, you make a claim it was written by goatherders. Pls supply reference support for this. Much of the OT would be written by educated scribes for example who lived in the (modern and great for the time) city of Jerusalem. And much of the NT was written by Paul a tent maker and up and coming young Pharisee of the temple who had a good education and likely came from a privileged and affluent background.
Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”
Not everyone is gifted in sharing their faith. Many people may feel like they will mess it up and turn others away from God because of their own inadequacies and incompetence.

Brilliant stuff guys as usual I just want to add that Muslims don't believe Jesus died on the cross they believe Allah caused someone else to die in the place of Jesus they don't believe he was ever crucified. Please search up on this stiff to he more accurate in your ministry
@@j_p_jr.487 It would be good if there was common agreement among Christians as to exactly what Hell consists of... unfortunately there is much disagreement depending who you talk to, and what branch of Christianity they were raised to believe. I was raised to believe in the eternal fire and damnation concept of Hell, .. it was one of the reasons that led me away from Christianity and on a path to think for myself.
@@j_p_jr.487 You are guilty of murder just by hating your neighbor in your mind. It is because you are evil for lying and stealing and He is good. He has the right to eradicate the human race because we are inherently evil, and it shows daily. We are here by grace, with a chance of forgiveness through a free gift, so His own begotten Son may be glorified. We try and glorify our children also, God loves His begotten Son and is the only one that is sinless, and the Son is glorified daily.
Saying the Holy wars were mostly self-defense is very wrong. I can agree, when Islam invaded the holy city that was self-defense of course. But when Catholics lost that city, they started campaigns to recapture the city. Which by definition is not self-defense its assault. Now it's fine if you want to recapture something that's yours. But by definition that's not self-defense. Also, big thing when Islam did capture the city, they let religious people of both sides walk freely throughout the city. Same with when Islam used the holy city as a bargaining chip during one of their campaigns. And gave the city back to the Catholics, in which the Catholics let religious people walk freely as well. The holy Crusades were mainly campaigns to expand religion throughout the Northeast and the East, as well as recapturing the holy city. So, 30% I would agree was self-defense but more then 70% was pure assault and expansion.
@askcliffe Hello, I'm the host of a spanish critical thinking channel (called "The Atheist's Pub"), and would like (if possible) to organize a chat with Stuart. Tried the link in the channel, but your WP is down.
Life of bob and nothing The year Im writing this is 2080. I was born in the year of 2008. My first memory was falling on my knees. I did well in school. I went to Harvard and was number one in the class. I have high functioning autisim. I studied cyberbiology. I saw this one girl and my serotonin levels on my phone skyrocked. We went on a date. We touched our phones together and our serotonin levels were perfect! We made our serotonin levels stay perfect for 2 years. The wedding was perfect. now this was after the perfect juice came. we had gallons of serotonina so even the guy with no +1 was sertonined up. Like every marriage it was perfect as long as you were drink your serotonin juice in the morning. In 2050 a Big pharma finally discovered emotions arent real. This made for the biggest utoipa earth has ever seen every country is happy! The story above was not bobs life it was nothings life. Bob was born in 2035, he got in a horrible accident at the beginning of 2047. Same year Big pharma found the best medicine ever to exist along with ground breaking technology. However, the United Nations told everyone to kill anyone religious because they are danger to society. He woke up in 2052 having no clue about the VERY strict rules about religion. So he ripped apart all the medical equipment ran in the hallway and Screamed! "Thank you Jesus Christ for saving me!" He was shot on the spot by security. who lived a better life?
I feel a lot of people still question if GOD or Jesus are really real. Meaning Cliff mentioned Abraham Lincoln for people its easy to believe he lived but for some reason people still "doubt" if Jesus or GOD are real even though Cliff has explained so much evidence that proves Jesus and GOD are real. I believe it's our sin and the lies we have been told our entire life about the world that effect to truly 99% believe in GOD and Jesus
THE NEW ORDER Lili O We belong to you dear Lord, you've given us the mark The star we bear upon our wrists Protection, love and power strong, the secrets of the dark The secrets all the Ancients knew have not been lost in time Dispersed among your Devotees, those with proven faith The star will draw the secrets out, imprinted on our minds. You have taught us how to send our thoughts Move things that should not move, fly the night and tame the sky Talk to those who've left our world, they haven't left at all Bring them back within our lives, once born will never die We talk to stars, we talk to trees, the beasts and creatures small. The Sabbats are our special time as seasons come and go The harvests and the coldest times bring Baal and Moloch near Our Goddess, Keeper of the Dark, Ahriman appear The Prince of Flames is brought to life, dancing in our fires We drink the life, the Blood, the Salt, the Earth, the Water, rain The frenzy grows, the joy we know, we sate of all desires. We're clandestine, our clans control the ones who think they lead Their minds are weak, over time they learn We take the best and show the way of power, lust abound They take our potions, take our thoughts and we all own the world Unknown to all we shape the way, we take away, the life you think you've found But centered round our way of life is knowledge, joy and love The things we change, tho slow to take, will make the world more sound.
The Good News? The Gospel that saved us.. 1st Cor 15:1--4 KJV The Death Burial And resurrection of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin's.. Paul is our Apostle during this Dispensation of Grace. Sin is not imputed to us during this time. When we trust upon Jesus Christ.
I like the argumentation, but after 6 minutes, I do regret the hypothesis the scriptures claiming Jesus is God would have been modified (so it would say so) is not addressed, aswell as the fact the prophet of islam claimed he was having a revelation from the God who created the Universe via one of his angels (which makes the 570 years argument futile). Since people are so quietly listening, why not develop a more complete argumentation from the start instead waiting for questions that will maybe only occur once you can't address these, and the listeners will then remember you as a fraud since you did not address crucial points; like you were simply taking advantage of the ignorance and lack of mental reactivity of the listeners. Still, keep up the good job.
Lifes a gift and it's short....so why do we always focus on death?...get on living. Whilst you can. I dont think, if there is a God, he would want you to waste your gift on sucking up to him constantly. The commandments were his only rules given. Jesus then apparently showed you how to live. Stick to the rules, stay mindful of those around you and live alongside each other with loving care. That's it. Basic, simple, straightforward....now live. Stop thinking of death ect. Lifes for living well, not dreaming of the afterlife or being Gods perfect student/child. Get on with it please🙂
Yes life is a rare and precious gift which was given to us which we didn’t give to ourselves. And yes life is incredibly short and therefore we should get on with living and be positive providing we are leading a life that pleases God. This advice of your’s Sam to celebrate life is good advice. The commandments are to be obeyed and without being told to love God we might not realise the necessity to do so. The commandments are designed to guide us. And by keeping the first commandment which is all about continuously loving God, we begin to synergise and amalgamate with Him. We join forces with Him and by doing this we lose the negative effects, that do exist, resulting from our incredible inferiority to God. The atheists solve this problem of inferiority by buying into the notion of God’s non existence. And it’s an empowering belief, but it’s a false belief. Believing in God isn’t in itself an automatic passport to heaven. We have to do more. Because if we don’t quit sinning we will dip out on Everlasting life. Jesus says so. That’s the price. And think about this Sam. Jesus said God exists. That should be good enough for you and me but why would you rather believe Richard Dawkins.
No, those are not the only options. That sets up a very easy straw man situation. You are defining the only possibilities so that you can choose the answer you deem correct. The fact is that there are several other very plausible options not listed. Only a non-thinker would be easily duped by this line of argumentation.
So... when will you provide some of those possibilities for us to examine? Perhaps this video does present a straw man, but your criticism presents no alternative.
@@sidwhiting665 Even CS Lewis gives a third option, and he still falls short of the many possibilities. I mention CS Lewis because much of the Christian world loves the guy, so it’s not just coming from some troll on RUclips. I’m not spoon feeding anyone answers. I learned by simply studying the topic by looking up arguments and counter arguments. Read and listen to the best, well thought out arguments on both sides, not the most popular apologists. They can be a good place to start, but if one isn’t studying or researching with little more than an intent to find ammunition against another argument, one will rarely find the truth. If someone cannot convincingly argue both sides of an arguments, they don’t understand the topic enough. No, I don’t spoon feed answers, I try to provoke thought. If there isn’t motivation enough to research the answers, then one isn’t seeking the truth, they only want justification for their own. Even Jesus himself in the Bible (if it is to be believed) veiled his answers and didn’t simply state the truth. He taught in riddles, not in bullet points. If you want to know, research, study, think. If I gave you an answer, you wouldn’t give it any credence because it is easier to toss off the rantings of someone like myself commenting on RUclips than what you will find if you honestly and humbly consider all possibilities as possible truth. Happy hunting. Search for the truth for truth’s sake, not just to defend your position.
@@singwithpowerinfo5815 With all due respect, you didn't actually answer his question. He asked if you would provide examples to evaluate. Jesus claimed to be God. Either he was not telling the truth (false prophet), or he was crazy (false prophet), or his claim to be God was true (both a true prophet and God himself). This is a matter of True or False. If the claim that Jesus is God is true, then he truly is God. If the claim is false, then he would be providing false information. It's true that Jesus did at times speak in parables, but that doesn't mean that him being God was not implied, and that doesn't mean there weren't times where Jesus was more explicit. For example, him even calling God his Father and recognizing himself as a special Son of God as the Messiah seems to fulfill the book of Isaiah which says: Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, *The mighty God,* The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. If Jesus is the prophesied Son that was foretold to come, then to even call himself this Son that would be born (the Messiah) is also to call himself God, because this is what the scripture says about the Messiah that would be born, and therefore, Jesus is claiming to be God. Jesus also multiple times calls himself "The King of Heaven". He does this with Pontius Pilate who asks him if he is a king, and Jesus said that his kingdom is not of this world, implying that he is a King, but just not an earthly King. He also mentions this when he foretells of the day of judgment when he separates the sheep and the goats and refers to himself as The King who will judge the world. Also, Jesus himself calls himself God in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 1:8, God the almighty is calling himself the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending. Jesus also applies the same title to himself as the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Revelation 1:8 *¶I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,* saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, *the Almighty.* Revelation 1: 11-13 11Saying, *I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:* and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12¶And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto *the Son of man,* clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Revelation 1:17-18 17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; *I am the first and the last:* 18I am he that liveth, *and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,* Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Jesus is indeed calling himself God.
@@Bi0Dr01d As I said, I won’t spoon feed answers. You immediate went to defending your believe. In the time it took you to type out your question, you could have simply googled to see what the other options are. I’m not arguing for any of them, but if one is a thinking person, and one who really wants the truth, one will sincerely seek out the answers to see what truth may be in them, not just to defend your position. Study and research. You wouldn’t take my word. I’m just some random guy on RUclips. Just look for the other possibilities so that one can argue those points, specifically, that others hold.
@@singwithpowerinfo5815 What you're doing actually seems to be a pretense to sway belief toward unbelief. That is the only influence what you're saying could possibly lead to, and that would imply that you're evangelizing unbelief in the name of "neutrality". This is why it doesn't matter if one takes your word or not, because it's a very clever and passive way to evangelize unbelief where a person's beliefs can be justified through argumentation but that you're having people second-guess their justified conclusions by telling them to study and research. I can also say that other people might have arguments that none of us exist and that we're just a figment of someone else's imagination and to tell you to withhold judgment that you exist and to study and research. You don't have to take my word for it as some random guy on youtube, just do your own research. As you can see, this is very passive, but it leads to unreasonable agnosticism where your conclusions are justified but that I'm having you second-guess those beliefs you hold. It's Evangelical. What you're doing also seems to be an appeal to ignorance as well, because if we read the plain text, Jesus being God is where the text leads. Based on what the scripture says, these are the implications. For Jesus to be the king of heaven, for God The Father himself to call Jesus God in Hebrews chapter 1, for Jesus to call himself God in Revelation chapter 1, for Jesus to receive worship people and also angels or have authority to forgive sins, and for Jesus to fulfill prophecies that would call the one who fulfills this prophecy God all point to Jesus being God. This is where the plain text leads.
He’s dead wrong on how one gains salvation - Theres only GOD that’s good Matthew 19:17 17And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother You must keep the laws, statues and commandments in order to enter to the kingdoms of heaven - DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE
Only the Israelites will enter heaven. Revelation 21:12 King James Version 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
@k-Mac This is God’s good news, not our own. So we need to really understand it because His good news towards us is amazingly good! Here is what the apostle Paul (Christ’s Apostole) states in regards to salvation through following the law: “Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross. Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it? I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ. In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.” Galatians 3:1-7 NLT Doesn’t mean we can go sinning now, in fact through the Holy Spirit, we can now truly be like God! “Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy.” Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT
@Strange Not according to Jesus: “And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world-from east and west-and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 8:11 NLT I know you disagree, but just for a moment, think how great of news is Jesus telling us. There can be more people who can be saved. In fact God wants the whole world to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and be saved! Praise God!
Please note.. Matthew mark Luke and John are old testament. Before the Cross. This Dispensation of Grace is from the Resurrection till the rapture of the Church.
Give me an answer please: in the King James Version in Matthew 2:23 it says, “And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.” My question is who were the prophets, that spoke saying; He shall be called a Nazarene?
There might have been prophecies not recorded in the ot that do say something like that, or he might b using it as a representation of the nazarenes being viewed as unwanted and bad This isn't really much of a problem, as there r many prophets and healers not recorded in the bible
I grabbed this from a Bible commentary. ------ The reference is vague, not to any particular prophet, but to the prophets in general. In no one place can any such statement be found. Some have suggested that it occurred in some prophetic book or oracle no longer extant. “Don’t ask,” says Euthy. Zig., “in what prophets; you will not find: many prophetic books were lost” (after Chrys.). Olearius, in an elaborate note, while not adopting, states with evident sympathy this view as held by others. Jerome, following the Jewish scholars (eruditi Hebraeorum) of his time, believed the reference to be mainly to Isaiah 11, where mention is made of a branch that shall spring out of Jesse’s root. This view is accepted by most modern scholars, Catholic and Protestant, the name of the town being viewed as a derivative from the Hebrew word (a feminine form). The epithet Ναζωραῖος will thus mean: “the man of Nazareth, the town of the off-shoot”. De Wette says: “In the spirit of the exegetical mysticism of the time, and applying what the Jews called Midrasch, deeper investigation, the word is used in a double sense in allusion at once to נֵצֶר, Isaiah 11:1, sprout, and to the name of Nazareth”. There may be something in the suggestion that the reference is to Jdg 13:7 : ὅτι Ναζιραῖον θεοῦ ἔσται, and the idea: one living apart in a secluded town.
If Jesus was a False Prophet then he is dead. If Jesus is the Hebrew god Yahweh, he can arrange his own crucifixion, but he cannot die. So which is it?
@Our Savior It's not a serious question, it's a serious comment. come on, be reasonable, 2000 years and a no show????? But Paul said Jesus would return when, you can answer that question.
@Our Savior In early Christian communities, people were confused why some of their members were dying when Jesus hadn't returned yet. They even wrote to St. Paul to complain
@Our Savior If I wasn't "very social" it's probably because you made bad arguments. Sorry to hear you're in pain. Maybe you should conserve your energy for your recuperation and lay off youtube for a while.
@@myoung48281 2 Peter 3:8- 9 "8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
If you could prove it 100% there would be no need for free will or choice. Think of this as a way to be able to choose freely, this is your will. Its a choice from your heart, you cant fake it and you wont see evil choose it. And that is the reason for it to be a belief and not a proof.
Atheists, such as I, are not interested in 100% proof (whatever that may be). I am searching for ANY credible presentation that substantiates the truth of the claim proffered by Christians that the god of their devotion is a reality. Can you (or any one) provide even ONE evidentiary fact that goes toward that request?
@@joetaylor1976 If you see a car in front of you, you can try to deny that you have seen the car, and then call that a choice to not see the car. But the truth is you have seen the car no matter if you try to choose another view. There is no choice to try to convince yourself you did not see the car. Choosing to do good instead of evil needs a choice to sacrifice your own interests to help someone else. Where is the proof that sacrificing your own interest to do good is the correct thing to do? Its faith.

John 8:54... Jesus is not God. 1) That which is distinguish from God is not God. See John 20:17. 2) God cannot die. Jesus died... 3) Jesus was created. God is not created. There is only one God = the Father. My God and your God, Jesus says John 20:17. 4) When Jesus teaches his disciples to pray he doesn't say "you pray to me"...he says you pray "Our Father whom art in heaven. Hallowed be your name Your will be done..." not my will be done. Better do your homework... and read what Jesus actually said and clearly taught in the Bible, before you violate the first commandment Hear O Israel the Lord your God is One. Mark 12:29. When Jesus is praying on the cross he is not praying to himself... he is praying to God.
Protestant principles can be logically and philosophically boiled down to the laziest and the most carnal interpretation of the apostle Paul, read part of Ephesians but don't read the whole thing, and give false importance to simple teachings. Works don't generate the needed will of God to save people, that's the simple meaning, it's a part of the larger picture of truth taught by Paul, James, John, and Peter with their master being the teachings of Jesus Christ, line upon line. Making your works meaningless isn't the right answer, salvation of your life isn't the only mission of Christ, listen to the words of Christ; "Whoever chooses to save his life shall lose it, and whoever will lose his life shall find it." Focusing on something good at the neglect of everything else is at the root of sin. As an example: Smoking makes you feel good, a good feeling, but at the neglect of your lungs, the neglect of the future of your health and your mental focus. People believe Protestantism because it gives them more license to do what they want, to be their own authority over interpretation of scripture, to think they are better than the next reader of the Bible, it's easier to believe than to follow Christ and love God with your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The really ironic thing is people like Protestant pastors think their works sharing their version of a false gospel will save them and others, this is what people praise them for, somewhere in their mind they keep track of how long and how many people they've talked to for their comfort, how they feel about themselves, and how they would describe themselves to others. When you donate to a Protestant ministry you donate to the person, for his perceived effectiveness, for his works, this reveals it as a hypocritical message. Jesus Christ is the truth but Protestant ministries are just people with an opinion, their self-made opinion differs with others, it's relativism, a deceived and inconsistent opinion that is a sign of listening to a false teacher. It is truth mingled with philosophies of men, the truth part is good, it is better and more consistent than no truth, but it is a dead end stopped by the false philosophies of men mingled with the truth.
So you don't like Protestantism..... are you Catholic? Easter Orthodox? Something else? . I would submit to you that Protestants are nothing like what you've laid out here. Sure, some are hypocrites. Some have opinions that are not biblical. Welcome to humanity and why we need Jesus Christ as our savior. . Roman Catholics are an interesting group to discuss while we're at it. Some follow the Pope. Some don't. Some use birth control. Some don't. Some go to Mass. Some don't. Some think you get to heaven by how good a job you do obeying the 10 Commandments. Some trust in the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ alone. I say again, welcome to humanity and why we all need Jesus Christ as our savior.
@@sidwhiting665 I am not saying that it’s my subjective opinion that I don’t like it, I’m saying Protestantism is philosophically inconsistent and unfruitful if you analyze it honestly. Protestantism is attributing truth to God, making specific claims that have consequences, not just being silly broken humans. Belief without works for the highest reward of salvation from the highest judge God creates the erosion of merit and meritocracy which is the foundation of family and strong nations.
@@boltrooktwo I’m sorry to but into this conversation but did you just say meritocracy is the foundation of family? Did you mean within the family or a family within the culture around them? I don’t see how a family is built on meritocracy at all. When a baby is born the value of that baby has nothing to do with the merit that baby has or will earn. A baby is valued for various reasons and none of them are due to what it can do for the family since the baby offers nothing. A families foundation is built in love and self sacrifice for the other members of the family. I see that as the foundation, I just don’t see the foundation of the family as a meritocracy. If I misunderstood you I apologize. Thanks
@@christian11111 You mention it yourself, love and sacrifice by the parents take lot of action with much of it being of the highest merit. A marriage takes merit and work. Working on yourself before marriage to be the best possible partner. People have value as created in the likeness and image of God but their potential is wasted if they do nothing.
@@boltrooktwo I don’t disagree with you at all on that. I believe love to be the greatest form of work as to truly love someone you must place their well being above your own. This naturally results in action. With that said though I still wouldn’t define it as a meritocracy, but I understand what you are getting at. Just a difference of opinion in how you are applying that term. To me a meritocracy is when one’s status is directly related to their skill or ability at something or various things. I just can’t align that with a family. Yes the foundation of a family is love and love is not truly fulfilled without action, but I wouldn’t describe that as merit based in anyway. An individuals contributions to a family is not what warrants the love, it is the decision by family members to love one another that results in the loving actions. Love is a decision, it cannot or at least should not be earned, in return to one’s love though loving actions should be the response. I think you agree it’s just a disagreement of the use of the term meritocracy. Thanks for the discussion friend.
@@baburo101 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” I tend to agree, .. that is the author of Revelation ( who we have no idea who wrote that) making a vague claim that cannot be verified). People read into the Bible there own interpretation.
Sure the beginning of Psalms 23 Lord is my shepherd Jesus claims in John 10:11 I am the Good Shepherd 'I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away-and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. So if Jesus was merely a prophet a hired hand he would not be the good shepherd he would have to be God to be the good shepherd
Jesus was either a false prophet or God? Is this an example of theistic reasoning? Those are the only possible explanations for Jesus that this guy can think of?
Messiah > Prophet God > Jesus JESUS is the ONLY begotten son of God. JESUS is a "perfect" man. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus.
Islam teaches the the validity of the OT and gospel however say the people of the book changed it. Well how do you reconcile that which has been manipulated and yet hedge its teachings from a pock and choose feel. That is conflated thinking.
We have to stop saying trinity when people think of that they think of 3 different Gods being in one head God is Spirit, the same spirit in Jesus same spirit is the Holy Ghost , Jesus is the name of God that was given to the body which is the Son of god
I agree that the term 'Trinity' doesn't help with clarity but the whole concept is still confusing anyway because if there is only ONE God then we're supposed to accept that somehow, that ONE God was both up in Heaven, whilst at the same time he was down here on Earth in the form of Jesus, well, he must have been according to the Bible because he was praying to his other self in Heaven and calling himself 'Father' and when he was dying on the cross he said "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit", right? How does that make any sense if he is in just ONE being? Also, after Jesus got baptised, the Bible tells us there was a voice from Heaven that said about him 'this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased'. I mean, how are we reasonably supposed to take that without looking at the possibility that maybe there is more than one divine being involved here?? And, if we are wrong and there is only one then now could that one God blame us for thinking there might be more than one when he referred to HIMSELF in the third person in the Bible? I mean, would you say this one God you believe in is a reasonable enough being to appreciate just how difficult it is for us to accept all of this without question or getting confused?? 🤔
@@DanielPrater93 Thanks, I will look him up but there's no point in saying 'the Bible makes it clear' because it self evidently DOESN'T make it clear, otherwise there would be no need for someone like Pastor Gino Jennings or anyone else to explain it better. What the Bible does is provide various passages within it that are open to interpretation, the things that Jesus said according to the Bible can be taken many different ways and Christians don't all agree on which way to take them. Now, what many Christians will say to me in response to that is "hey, John, you need to study it", and, sure, the Bible does need to be studied to get the exact or near exact historical meanings and contexts within which things were said, I'll agree with that but the very fact that it needs to be studied denotes that it's NOT easy or clear to understand. You see, when you have to study something, that means it's hard work and so it can't be both 'clear' and hard to understand without studying it. Christians need to be more honest and just admit it's NOT easy to understand the Bible just by reading it alone, it takes many hours of studying to really understand all the different historical elements that surround the things that are said within it. There's absolutely no point in us who live in the 21st Century in the Western world trying to understand what Moses or Jesus said all of those thousands of years ago based on our world today, we need to understand the time and place they were living in all of those thousands of years ago, this is why if there really is a God who inspired the writings in the Bible, then, whilst it's not up to me to say it was a bad idea, it quite obviously wasn't the easiest or clearest way to convey a message to us.
@@JohnCashin I totally understand what you are saying I put it wrong or I didn’t use the correct wording , see everything the Bible say people don’t really understand the meaning and words because they don’t read it correctly that’s where religion come along you know God didn’t say be a Christian, baptis or any Other religion God say to be Holy because I am holy THATS it but we the people has given false doctrine to people , I can admit I called my self Christian and didn’t even read the book I just thought God called his people that. This pastor I speak about is the only pastor I have found that actually reads straight from the Bible and interpretation is so little, Such as marriage Jesus said to the people Moses allowed you to divorce your wife’s that wasn’t God intention from the beginning he said they had harden hearts and said you can put away your wife or aside not divorce there for only it be for fornication, the churches think okay she have to cheat on me then I can leave her ? Fornication is only between Two that aren’t married ( 2 people being engaged) not married yet but people think you can get remarried and divorce the only way God wants it is that one person have to Die or you two can separate but you guys are still married and if one of you marries another you have sinned meaning committed adultery. Today you have pastor that preach that have 2-10 wife’s that’s why you mean not lean on your thinking of why the Bible is and Yes study and pull different example from the Bible and break it down please let me know what you think of his preaching and get back with me
If your churches do not Practice what first century churches did (acts 4:32-35) then GOD is not dwelling on you because you are not House of HIM.your end will be like synagogues (mix with poor and rich)(James 2:2-9) to be burned forever(psalms 74:8)that is very dangerous for all souls if you preach to people.
You cannot talk about the crusades in defense of Islam, because Islam was murdering and capturing Africans and even Europeans at one point BEFORE the Europeans started to fight back (aka European crusades)
I am from somali in africa islam came to us by peace while Christianity came to us by force colonization racism evil so please stop accusing Islam you evil crusaders
*Here's the answer to your title: Jesus is Either a False Prophet or Who He Claimed To Be: GOD!* *Answer:* Jesus never claimed he was God. Therefore, the Jesus Cliffe claims is God doesn't exist. Purely fictional.
JESUS IS GOD. HE IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR... Surah 5:68 - "O YE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (Jews and Christians) YOU HAVE NO MORAL GROUND TO STAND ON UNLESS YOU OBEY THE LAW (Torah) AND THE WRITINGS (New Testament). Torah + the Prophets + New Testament = Bible. So Surah 5:68 is telling Jews and Christians to obey the Bible.... But if you actually read the Bible for yourself, you will realise that the Bible rules out any further prophets or scriptures. The only future "prophets" that the Bible says will come around after Jesus, were the "false prophets" like Muhammed. So the Bible rules out the Quran... But the Quran confirms the Bible. 🤔🤔🤔 Islam also tries to say that Jesus was a prophet of Allah... the problem is that Jesus made himself equal with the Father many times in the Bible scriptures. So according to islam - that would make Jesus a "false prophet". 🤔🤔🤔 Jesus said - "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NOBODY COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME". Jesus is our Lord and our God. He is our only Salvation. God bless you as you put your faith and trust in him. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 In Matthews Gospel 7:15 - Jesus Christ said to his disciples.... "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps clothing yet inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognise them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?. So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognise them by their fruits". Now, since Jesus was warning people about the best way to spot a "false prophet"... Lets just take a little time to have a look at the fruits of Muhummad. Lets just see if the fruits of Muhummad were "good" or "bad"... ➡️1. Muhammad’s marriage to 6yr old Aisha-(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234 and 236).⬅️ ➡️2. Aisha cleans Muhammad’s semen stains-(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 229-233),⬅️ ➡️3. Muhammad fondling Aisha during her ‘Menses’ (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 298-300, Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 1, Number 0270)⬅️ ➡️4. Muhammad liked to have intercourse with Aisha and his other wives when they were menstruating (Sahih Muslim, Book 003, Number 0577-0579),⬅️ ➡️5. Muhammad loved to recite the Quran when his wives were in Menses while lying between their legs!-(Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 296), (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 639)⬅️ ➡️6. Muhammad married (without Nikkah) his adopted Son’s wife called ‘Zaynab’ after lusting for her and then banned Adoption in Islam- Therefore, he kept his own daughter in law Zainab as concubine. (Surah 33:37,Sahih Al- Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 305, Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3330, Sahih al- Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516,The History of Al-Tabari: The Victory of Islam, translated by Michael Fishbein, 1997], Volume VIII, pp. 2-3)⬅️ ➡️7. Muhammad having sex with his dead Aunt in the Grave-( “Kanz Al Umal” (The Treasure of the Workers, by Ali Ibn Husam Aldin, commonly known as Al-Mutaki Al-Hindi. He based his book on the hadiths and sayings listed in “Al-Jami Al- Saghir,” written by Jalal ul-Din Al-Suyuti.) - ‘I (Muhammad) put on her my shirt that she may wear the clothes of heaven, and I slept with her in her coffin (grave) that I may lessen the pressure of the grave. She was the best of Allah’s creatures to me after Abu Talib’… The prophet was referring to Fatima , the mother of Ali. “The Arabic word used here for slept is “Id’tajat,” and literally means “lay down” with her. It is often used to mean, “Lay down to have sex.”⬅️ ➡️8. Muhammad and the Quran sanctioned sex with your wives and ‘married’ slave girls-(Quran - 70:22-30, 23:5,6, 4:24, 33:50),⬅️ ➡️9. Muhammad speaks of sex with Slave Girls- (Sahih Bukhari - Volume 3, #432, Volume 9, #506, Volume 5, # 637, Sahih Muslim, Volume 2, #3371)⬅️ ➡️10. Muhammad disagreed with ‘coitus interruptus’ with slave girls- he supported RAPE.⬅️ ➡️11. Muhammad forces a 17 yr old Jewish girl called Safiyyah to marry him and rapes her on the same day her husband and family are killed in the battle of Khaibar (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 522, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367). - Al Tabari reported in his (‘The History of al- Tabari: The Victory of Islam’, Translated by Michael Fishbein) that even some of Muhammad’s wives and companions were shocked that he forced Safiyyah to marry him after beheading her husband, brother and father.⬅️ All these acts of Muhummad are 100% historically accurate. It seems like the fruits of Muhummad were not just "bad". But they were SO bad that they were rotten and full of filthy worms and decay, deceit, lies, and false promises. In Johns Gospel 14:6 Jesus Christ said - "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Nobody comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him". Jesus Christ is Lord and God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one God in 3 separate forms. Just like Ice, Water, and Steam are all H2⁰ in 3 separate forms. Jesus loves you... Trust in him as your Lord and Saviour.
There are other options, as well... such as: 1. a real man (Jesus) became a legend, with fanciful details added. 2. the Jesus of the Bible was started without a real man, but, instead, thru revelation and going thru scripture, as Paul said he recieved the faith... see Dr Richard Carrier's books/debates.
I would never respect mo hummad he went to war with innercent nations just to inflict his own religion praise and gloary goes to Jesus Christ to the father book of John says all praise goes to him ie Jesus to the father
The lack of Evidence, means we can never truly know for sure. TEXT DOES NOT COUNT. This is why it's called a faith system. You have to believe or your a sinner who will be judged (according to Christianity)...NOT EXACTLY SCIENTIFIC. Believe or suffer. Wat a choice.
@@redbrrdz7423 yes, it is. People religiously closed, often say this....because you refuse to admit that wat you believe might be just scriblings in a book and nothing more. There is no evidence of Jesus being alive. He might have, but wheres the body? We have second hand accounts by his disciples, john, luke, Peter....so wheres the writings of Jesus himself. Cleopatra lived around those times, so too did tutankhamun....we have both of these sarcophagus' we have actually written evidence, we have so many artifacts.....YET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS. Just places he might have been born or visited and a tomb he MIGHT have been put into. If he had a child with mart magdalene, where are his descendants, his bloodline. That's the point, the only evidence is a book made up by multiple people, giving thier own views on these events. I could write something down today about a person, get others to do the same and in 2000yrs everyone will believe that person existed. Admit it we dont know...no one does. That's why it's a faith.
@@redbrrdz7423 microbes, which evolved in water and slowely evolved in to sea creatures, into land creatures, in time into humans. If you want to believe Adam and Eve were the first humans....genealogy proves that close genetics result in genetic flaws. It's why your not supposed to sleep with yr relatives. Why mans sperm carries one half of the chromosomes and womens eggs carry the other half. Hows that.
@Our Savior Wrong. I am trying to understand his point and how he arrived at it. Are you asserting anyone who asks a question about an assertion is necessarily a troll?
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. Below are 10 facts I must consider when evaluating the claim made by theists that a god exists. To be clear, these are not premises for an argument concluding there to be no gods. These are simply facts I take into account when evaluating the claim. 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 either fallacies or false 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 phenomena 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.
That's a lot of stuff you wrote lol but I see your point. I'm not here to argue but share my point of view. When I read about Jesus, it appears that rationality and evidence of his existence is not really what gets people to have faith in him. However, God provides evidence of his existence just from the creation around you. It might seem basic but God is called the unmoved mover. He never began to exist and the universe had a beginning so one may ponder what started this chain of events. You can't really say quantum vacuum is what started it because you are already taking for granted that this "vacuum" is matter. So what you are left with is nothing started everything which does not hold any ground of possibility. When we move on to evolution, it seems very implausible that the phenomenon of natural selection randomly adapts to the environment. This seems to indicate some type of intelligent system of engineering. Looking more deeply at the micro level, DNA is literally language. If you have taken coding classes, you would understand the level of complicity one must provide for a simple application. Compare this to DNA, which takes the complexity to another dimension. And life didn't start simple, which many still believe, but a simple bacteria has so much information in it that it should just take your breath away. I am a computer engineer and the crap that I have to deal with is nothing compared to DNA. Overall the evidence of God is there but it won't force one to have faith. The main message is that you can be saved form Death. Death is the real problem humans face and the message of the gospel tells us that Everlasting life is here. It's a real trip that God offers life to those who humble themselves and call on the name of the Lord. Thanks
Bro too much to unpack in a comment But hope u get ur answers in the near future And for the millionth time Athiesm is the active denial of deity, that's literally the meaning of the word Don't like it, call urself an agnostic
@@ultracrepiderian I disagree. I am agnostic but an atheist. The two are not mutually exclusive and here is why: There is _but one_ claim that the position of atheism regards. And that is the 'theistic' claim that "God(s) exists." Like all claims to truth, this claim breaks down on three dichotomous axes: *_truth_* of the claim; *_acknowledgement_* of the claim; and *_sufficiency of knowledge_* as to the claim. The first dichotomous axis addresses the truth _position._ Like any claim to truth, the 'theistic' claim is either true or _not_ true (false). There is no middle ground. The second dichotomous axis addresses the acknowledgement _position._ The recipient evaluating the claim either acknowledges the claim as true (theism), or does _not_ acknowledge the claim as true (atheism). Again, there is no middle ground. The third dichotomous axis addresses the _sufficiency of knowledge_ as to the claim _position._ Either the recipient evaluating the claim has sufficient knowledge or information as to the truth of the claim (gnostism), or does _not_ have sufficient knowledge or information concerning the claim (agnosticism). The default 'acknowledgement' position on the claim that "god(s) exists" is _atheism_ for this is the position the recipient begins with _prior_ to hearing the claim for the first time. It would be impractical to acknowledge the truth of a claim _before_ hearing it for the first time. The default position addressing 'sufficiency of knowledge or information' is _agnosticism_ for this is the position the recipient begins with _prior_ to hearing the claim. One can not claim to have sufficient knowledge or information concerning a given claim _until_ he or she hears the claim for the first time. This presents four populations of recipients evaluating the claim that "god(s) exists." The 'gnostic theist' claims to have sufficient knowledge or information to justify changing their position from atheism (default) to theism by acknowledging the claim. Often this population claims to acquire "sufficient knowledge" from revelation from or personal relationship with the deity mentioned in the claim. The 'gnostic atheist' claims to have sufficient knowledge or information to justify remaining in the position of atheism (default) by _rejecting to acknowledge_ the claim. This population is sometimes referred to as 'strong atheists'. This population may or may not make the additional claim "god(s) don't exist." If so, like the theists in the original claim, those that make such a claim now encumber a burden of proof to substantiate such claim with evidence. The 'agnostic theist' claims to _not_ have sufficient knowledge or information to justify changing their position from atheism (default) by does so _anyways_ by acknowledging the truth of the claim _through_ 'faith'. And last, the 'agnostic atheist' claims to _not_ have sufficient knowledge or information to justify changing their initial position of atheism so they _continue to suspend acknowleging the truth of the claim until sufficent evidence is presented._ Of the four populations, only the 'gnostic theists' and the 'agnostic atheists' are *_justified_* in their final positions. The former is justified in changing their position to theism by 'revelation'. The latter is justified in suspending such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced, and therefore remain atheist. This is how I can demonstrate that I am indeed an atheist - an agnostic atheist.
@@theoskeptomai2535 i disagree as well If one says they're an agnostic, they r making no claims about the objective reality of a deity existing or not An athiest for all of history has been a person who actively holds the belief that there is no room for doubt unless new information is introduced that deity dosent exist If u wanna make up new names for urself, feel free
This is what Jesus said of Himself: “why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God’? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.” John 10:36 NLT “Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?” John 14:8-9 NLT (Another translation of that verse) “Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father and then we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and you do not know Me yet, Philip, nor recognize clearly who I am? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’” John 14:8-9 AMP “The Father and I are one.”” John 10:30 NLT And this is what God testified about Jesus: “Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.”” Mark 9:7 NLT What are thoughts about what Jesus says of Himself? What does this mean?
@@nothingelsetochoose Jesus was a Jewish prophet, so he use son to mean that he is a good servent of God, a man , not a god, just like all prophets in his history! Christian have misunderstood the context from the very beginning and forged divinity to Jesus and created a new idolatrous religious which is contradictory to the teachings of Jesus himself
Look at what Jesus says here, they already mentioned prophet, but then Jesus revealed that Simon was blessed because he recognized Jesus as the messiah, the Son of the living God. Clearly there is a difference between a prophet and the messiah/Son of God. He also mentioned that it was The Father in heaven who revealed this to Peter. Here’s the scripture: “When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.” Matthew 16:13-20 NLT
But to your point, what is the teaching of Jesus, why did He come? What was He to do? “No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.” John 3:13-18 NLT These are Jesus’ words - He came to save the world from Judgement. That who ever believe Him “the One and ONLY Son” will have eternal life and not perish. This is what Jesus taught - this is the good news of Jesus Christ. Believe and be saved friend!
Become Christian you have to be born again, repentance for sure don't follow your human flesh need but God holly spirit need you have to fight your deed will according to Jesus words follow and hear your spirit instinct

I know Cliffe is slowly turning this over to his son but there’s no one like Cliffe to be able to deliver the gospel in his classic style.
New Covenant Whole Gospel:
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by
husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)

God makes no mistakes??????????
READ THE OLD TESTAMENT - it is a vile collection of wild-tales about a misogynistic, child murdering, disease spreading, selfish, jealous "god" who encourages murder, rape, incest, genocide and massacres.
The N.T. fares little better - the four gospels disagreeing with each other - unsurprising really, since they were written hundreds of years apart by scribes who did not witness any of the purported events.
Funny how the crucifixion and rebirth get little mention, except briefly in one volume?
No mistakes - the whole man-made story is RIDDLED with mistakes.
Haha facts
I recently had a contentious argument on Twitter with this guy, and it was over the existence of God, the usual. He obviously claimed neither God nor "Gods" exist. Then at one point, I said to him: In your world-where there's no God, me and you are no different than Hitler. And our condemnation of his brutality has no value. He then seriously said, "unfortunately, that's true!".
He went to that wicked length, just so he can be consistent with his atheistic logic. Incredible stuff!

The Holy Spirit is a comforter, counselor, convicter and Truth speaker, in fact Christ said that Blasphemy of The Holy Spirit is The unforgivable Sin
The unforgivable sin is denying God exists and that Jesus is the only way to salvation*
@@ironmatto3 Jesus said, you can blaspheme God and The Son, but blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is unforgivable
@@jeffreyrobuck3288 You're misinterpreting scripture.
A person who blasphemes God's name but turns and repents and receives Jesus is voided of that sin.
To say that an unsaved sinner can't receive salvation because he/she blasphemed The Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirits name is heresy.
Look at the apostle Paul? He persecuted God and killed believers yet he became a saint by God's grace.
That verse is implying denying the Holy Spirit's conversion over you is the unforgivable sin.
It's attributed to him in the gospel. But does anyone really think that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is worse than mass murder?
@Our Savior I have NEVER heard any holy spirit "whispering" to me. Not even when I was a Christian. And yet I have never committed an evil act in my life. How do you explain this anomaly in your dogma?
Gosh this one was good! Great job guys
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection:
Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15......
the bible never mention he die for everyone acts 5/29/30/31 then peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey God rather than men the God of our fathers raised up yahawashi whom you murdered by hanging on a tree him God has exalted to his right hand to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins according to the bible the most high raised up yahawashi to be prince and saviour to Israel can you prove from the bible christ die for everyone where in scripture will I find that let's continue and forgiveness of sins never mention no other nation prove it

Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!"
*Isaiah* *53* *~*
'Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted. As many were astonished at you - his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind - so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand. Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore i will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors'.

@@theoskeptomai2535why is it false
Jesus is neither a false prophet (John 6:14/John 7:40/Isaiah 51:16/John 12:49, 50) nor did he claim to be God. John 8:58 Jesus is simply stating he is first in the resurrection even before Abraham. (Acts 26:23/Colossians 1:18/Revelation 1:5) at John 20:28 Thomas says what he says because of this (Acts 2:22 ; Acts 10:37, 38/John 1:18/Matthew 11:27/Luke 10:22)
Adam was created in the image of God we are in Adams image (Genesis 5:3) Jesus is also in the image of God (Colossians 1:15) he being also the second Adam. (1 Corinthians 15:45)
John 1:1 in the beginning which is the new beginning 1 John 1:1-4. Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8/ Apostles chosen before the foundation of the world. This is all about the new creation made in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
John 1:1 could have been translated and what God is the Word is. God is Spirit ( John 4:24 Jesus was raised in the spirit 1 Peter 3:18, and flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdoms of God 1 Corinthians 15:50)
Jesus is the Son of God (Matthew 16:15-17)
And yes all things are created in Christ (Colossians 1:16, 17/ Luke 22:28-30.
May God open all hearts and minds to what the Bible truly teaches.
So true! And if Jesus always existed as the “second person” of the Trinity.
Why was no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth worthy to take the scroll from God’s hand until Jesus? (Revelation 5:1-7 it’s because he didn’t exist yet.)
And why is God Jesus’ God from the womb and not before the womb if he existed before the womb? Psalms 22:10
Also where is the Holy Spirits throne? And why are you forgiven if you speak against Christ (the second person of the Trinity) but not if you speak against the third person of the Trinity? Matthew 12:31, 32
Read the Bible yourself and stop listening to the devils church!
2 Corinthians 11:3, 4, 12-15
2 Timothy 4:1-5
2 Peter 2:1-22
Oh, never forget Galatians 1:6-10
You are accursed if you preach a different Christ or gospel. And they’ve been preaching a different Jesus even in the apostles time!
You think they’ve kept the church holy and preaching the same Christ 2,000 years later when the apostles kept warning of false teachers among themselves?!
Do your research, Adam was made of this earth (dust/dirt) Jesus can rightly say he comes from heaven because he was put in the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit which comes from heaven.
Luke 1:30-35/1 Peter 1:12.
So why is Jesus called the Son of God and not the Son of the Holy Spirit?
“But in John 17:5 Jesus says to the Father to glorify him with the glory he had with Him before the world was/existed/or is to be.”
Yes, Jesus had glory with the Father while Jesus was on earth John 2:11/ John 11:4) the old age or world before his ascension to Gods right hand and the laying the new earth/world/ covenant in Jesus’s shed blood. Isaiah 51:16/Jeremiah 31:31-33
The real problem is most do not truly believe Jesus words at John 17:3
JESUS CHRIST (Alpha & Omega) IS THE ANOINTED KING.. The I AM.. The FULNESS of the GODHEAD dwelt in him BODILY.. The WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH who created ALL THINGS.. He is DEITY.. And he is the DOOR - nobody enters Heaven EXCEPT thru HIM ONLY.. SALVATION thru HIM ONLY.. Colossians 1:15-19
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
If folks Refuse to WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST, and only want to pay homage to the Father, then Jesus will say to you "depart from me cause I never knew you".. Thanks and have a great day in the Mighty name of JESUS CHRIST!!
Yes Jesus is the anointed King doesn’t make him God. Jesus was given all authority in heaven and earth, all the fullness dwell in him because this authority was given to him by the one and only God.

Healed blind man, John 9:9

Apostle Peter, Acts 10:21
IT IS NOT A CLAIM TO DEITY
As for Colossians 1:15-19
Jesus is the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45) made in the image of God. Is resurrected first before even Abraham (John 8:58) and God makes all things new made through Jesus’ sacrifice. Yes even things in heaven. Like the thrones the 12 apostles received. Luke 22:28-30/Revelation 5:9, 10
This is all after his obedient death and being resurrected to sit at God’s right hand.
Jesus also hands the kingdom back to God 1 Corinthians 15:20-28
The one certain thing in life is that we're all going to die. What people believe during the time we're here is entirely up to them. As you go through life you may get raised to believe in one particular faith, and then later on in life, change your view based on many different factors, I was raised to believe the Bible was true, but slowly over time I've had to re-adjust my thoughts. The title of this video is "Jesus is Either a False Prophet or Who He Claimed To Be: GOD!" There is a much more realistic 3rd option in my humble opinion. He was just a normal guy like me and you, made of flesh and bone, but who died, and was later venerated by his followers into becoming a Legend, who did amazing supernatural feats, and happened to be the son of God himself.
If Jesus is who He claims to be (God), and if He truly did die and rise from the dead, it would be very very wise to worship Him. Why? Because the evidence is He is reliable. And if He truly did resurrect, that means He is reliable, and all that He said is true. If He was not God, that means He was lying and we should reject Him. There isn’t really a third option, we can all add a third or more options if we would like but we have to realize that when it comes to Jesus, He made a claim to be God. And He is either lying or speaking the truth. If He is lying, we should reject Him because the evidence is He is a liar and He is not reliable. But if He spoke the truth, we should put our faith in Him.
@@BeanZBoT Clearly you are a Christian Brian, that's fine, you're free to believe that, but that same "evidence" is available to over half the world, and they aren't buying it.. they have their own religions and beliefs, and good luck to them.

If "God" the father of Jesus planned for his son to be sacrificed just so he can be brought back to life to go to heaven? Then there isn't really any sacrifice.

How do you know what the sacrifice actually entailed that you treat it so casually? Do you understand it completely?

Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”

Saying the Holy wars were mostly self-defense is very wrong. I can agree, when Islam invaded the holy city that was self-defense of course. But when Catholics lost that city, they started campaigns to recapture the city. Which by definition is not self-defense its assault. Now it's fine if you want to recapture something that's yours. But by definition that's not self-defense. Also, big thing when Islam did capture the city, they let religious people of both sides walk freely throughout the city. Same with when Islam used the holy city as a bargaining chip during one of their campaigns. And gave the city back to the Catholics, in which the Catholics let religious people walk freely as well. The holy Crusades were mainly campaigns to expand religion throughout the Northeast and the East, as well as recapturing the holy city. So, 30% I would agree was self-defense but more then 70% was pure assault and expansion.
Thank you
Good stuff!
@askcliffe Hello, I'm the host of a spanish critical thinking channel (called "The Atheist's Pub"), and would like (if possible) to organize a chat with Stuart. Tried the link in the channel, but your WP is down.
Life of bob and nothing
The year Im writing this is 2080. I was born in the year of 2008. My first memory was falling on my knees. I did well in school. I went to Harvard and was number one in the class. I have high functioning autisim. I studied cyberbiology. I saw this one girl and my serotonin levels on my phone skyrocked. We went on a date. We touched our phones together and our serotonin levels were perfect! We made our serotonin levels stay perfect for 2 years. The wedding was perfect. now this was after the perfect juice came. we had gallons of serotonina so even the guy with no +1 was sertonined up. Like every marriage it was perfect as long as you were drink your serotonin juice in the morning. In 2050 a Big pharma finally discovered emotions arent real. This made for the biggest utoipa earth has ever seen every country is happy!
The story above was not bobs life it was nothings life.
Bob was born in 2035, he got in a horrible accident at the beginning of 2047. Same year Big pharma found the best medicine ever to exist along with ground breaking technology. However, the United Nations told everyone to kill anyone religious because they are danger to society. He woke up in 2052 having no clue about the VERY strict rules about religion. So he ripped apart all the medical equipment ran in the hallway and Screamed! "Thank you Jesus Christ for saving me!" He was shot on the spot by security.
who lived a better life?
I feel a lot of people still question if GOD or Jesus are really real. Meaning Cliff mentioned Abraham Lincoln for people its easy to believe he lived but for some reason people still "doubt" if Jesus or GOD are real even though Cliff has explained so much evidence that proves Jesus and GOD are real. I believe it's our sin and the lies we have been told our entire life about the world that effect to truly 99% believe in GOD and Jesus
Stewart was debating Joe Burrow mid way thru the video
I agree that God exist, but I find no reason for God to be the one described in the book of Christianity. Please help me.
Amen
The problem with your point is the people who wrote those things about Jesus are not the one who saw Jesus. But they claimed to be.
500 years from Moses to Christ yet yall believe they mention Jesus ( without using his name interestingly enough
Mark 11:30
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
THE NEW ORDER Lili
O We belong to you dear Lord, you've given us the mark
The star we bear upon our wrists
Protection, love and power strong, the secrets of the dark
The secrets all the Ancients knew have not been lost in time
Dispersed among your Devotees, those with proven faith
The star will draw the secrets out, imprinted on our minds.
You have taught us how to send our thoughts
Move things that should not move, fly the night and tame the sky
Talk to those who've left our world, they haven't left at all
Bring them back within our lives, once born will never die
We talk to stars, we talk to trees, the beasts and creatures small.
The Sabbats are our special time as seasons come and go
The harvests and the coldest times bring Baal and Moloch near
Our Goddess, Keeper of the Dark, Ahriman appear
The Prince of Flames is brought to life, dancing in our fires
We drink the life, the Blood, the Salt, the Earth, the Water, rain
The frenzy grows, the joy we know, we sate of all desires.
We're clandestine, our clans control the ones who think they lead
Their minds are weak, over time they learn
We take the best and show the way of power, lust abound
They take our potions, take our thoughts and we all own the world
Unknown to all we shape the way, we take away, the life you think you've found
But centered round our way of life is knowledge, joy and love
The things we change, tho slow to take, will make the world more sound.
This reminds me about how when Jesus comes back he won’t be as nice as before 😅
Why
The Good News?
The Gospel that saved us..
1st Cor 15:1--4
KJV
The Death Burial And resurrection of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin's..
Paul is our Apostle during this Dispensation of Grace. Sin is not imputed to us during this time. When we trust upon Jesus Christ.
I like the argumentation, but after 6 minutes, I do regret the hypothesis the scriptures claiming Jesus is God would have been modified (so it would say so) is not addressed, aswell as the fact the prophet of islam claimed he was having a revelation from the God who created the Universe via one of his angels (which makes the 570 years argument futile). Since people are so quietly listening, why not develop a more complete argumentation from the start instead waiting for questions that will maybe only occur once you can't address these, and the listeners will then remember you as a fraud since you did not address crucial points; like you were simply taking advantage of the ignorance and lack of mental reactivity of the listeners. Still, keep up the good job.
5:06 The Quran claims that Jesus never even died. Thats a huge contradiction between Islam and Christianity.
Lifes a gift and it's short....so why do we always focus on death?...get on living. Whilst you can. I dont think, if there is a God, he would want you to waste your gift on sucking up to him constantly. The commandments were his only rules given. Jesus then apparently showed you how to live. Stick to the rules, stay mindful of those around you and live alongside each other with loving care. That's it. Basic, simple, straightforward....now live. Stop thinking of death ect. Lifes for living well, not dreaming of the afterlife or being Gods perfect student/child. Get on with it please🙂
Yes life is a rare and precious gift which was given to us which we didn’t give to ourselves. And yes life is incredibly short and therefore we should get on with living and be positive providing we are leading a life that pleases God. This advice of your’s Sam to celebrate life is good advice. The commandments are to be obeyed and without being told to love God we might not realise the necessity to do so. The commandments are designed to guide us. And by keeping the first commandment which is all about continuously loving God, we begin to synergise and amalgamate with Him. We join forces with Him and by doing this we lose the negative effects, that do exist, resulting from our incredible inferiority to God. The atheists solve this problem of inferiority by buying into the notion of God’s non existence. And it’s an empowering belief, but it’s a false belief. Believing in God isn’t in itself an automatic passport to heaven. We have to do more. Because if we don’t quit sinning we will dip out on Everlasting life. Jesus says so. That’s the price. And think about this Sam. Jesus said God exists. That should be good enough for you and me but why would you rather believe Richard Dawkins.

No, those are not the only options. That sets up a very easy straw man situation. You are defining the only possibilities so that you can choose the answer you deem correct. The fact is that there are several other very plausible options not listed. Only a non-thinker would be easily duped by this line of argumentation.
So... when will you provide some of those possibilities for us to examine? Perhaps this video does present a straw man, but your criticism presents no alternative.
@@sidwhiting665 Even CS Lewis gives a third option, and he still falls short of the many possibilities. I mention CS Lewis because much of the Christian world loves the guy, so it’s not just coming from some troll on RUclips.
I’m not spoon feeding anyone answers. I learned by simply studying the topic by looking up arguments and counter arguments. Read and listen to the best, well thought out arguments on both sides, not the most popular apologists.
They can be a good place to start, but if one isn’t studying or researching with little more than an intent to find ammunition against another argument, one will rarely find the truth. If someone cannot convincingly argue both sides of an arguments, they don’t understand the topic enough.
No, I don’t spoon feed answers, I try to provoke thought. If there isn’t motivation enough to research the answers, then one isn’t seeking the truth, they only want justification for their own.
Even Jesus himself in the Bible (if it is to be believed) veiled his answers and didn’t simply state the truth. He taught in riddles, not in bullet points.
If you want to know, research, study, think. If I gave you an answer, you wouldn’t give it any credence because it is easier to toss off the rantings of someone like myself commenting on RUclips than what you will find if you honestly and humbly consider all possibilities as possible truth.
Happy hunting. Search for the truth for truth’s sake, not just to defend your position.
@@singwithpowerinfo5815 With all due respect, you didn't actually answer his question. He asked if you would provide examples to evaluate.
Jesus claimed to be God. Either he was not telling the truth (false prophet), or he was crazy (false prophet), or his claim to be God was true (both a true prophet and God himself).
This is a matter of True or False.
If the claim that Jesus is God is true, then he truly is God. If the claim is false, then he would be providing false information.
It's true that Jesus did at times speak in parables, but that doesn't mean that him being God was not implied, and that doesn't mean there weren't times where Jesus was more explicit.
For example, him even calling God his Father and recognizing himself as a special Son of God as the Messiah seems to fulfill the book of Isaiah which says:
Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, *The mighty God,* The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
If Jesus is the prophesied Son that was foretold to come, then to even call himself this Son that would be born (the Messiah) is also to call himself God, because this is what the scripture says about the Messiah that would be born, and therefore, Jesus is claiming to be God.
Jesus also multiple times calls himself "The King of Heaven". He does this with Pontius Pilate who asks him if he is a king, and Jesus said that his kingdom is not of this world, implying that he is a King, but just not an earthly King. He also mentions this when he foretells of the day of judgment when he separates the sheep and the goats and refers to himself as The King who will judge the world.
Also, Jesus himself calls himself God in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 1:8, God the almighty is calling himself the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending. Jesus also applies the same title to himself as the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.
Revelation 1:8
*¶I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,* saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, *the Almighty.*
Revelation 1: 11-13
11Saying, *I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:* and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12¶And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto *the Son of man,* clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Revelation 1:17-18
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; *I am the first and the last:*
18I am he that liveth, *and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,* Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Jesus is indeed calling himself God.
@@Bi0Dr01d As I said, I won’t spoon feed answers. You immediate went to defending your believe. In the time it took you to type out your question, you could have simply googled to see what the other options are. I’m not arguing for any of them, but if one is a thinking person, and one who really wants the truth, one will sincerely seek out the answers to see what truth may be in them, not just to defend your position.
Study and research. You wouldn’t take my word. I’m just some random guy on RUclips. Just look for the other possibilities so that one can argue those points, specifically, that others hold.
@@singwithpowerinfo5815 What you're doing actually seems to be a pretense to sway belief toward unbelief. That is the only influence what you're saying could possibly lead to, and that would imply that you're evangelizing unbelief in the name of "neutrality". This is why it doesn't matter if one takes your word or not, because it's a very clever and passive way to evangelize unbelief where a person's beliefs can be justified through argumentation but that you're having people second-guess their justified conclusions by telling them to study and research. I can also say that other people might have arguments that none of us exist and that we're just a figment of someone else's imagination and to tell you to withhold judgment that you exist and to study and research. You don't have to take my word for it as some random guy on youtube, just do your own research. As you can see, this is very passive, but it leads to unreasonable agnosticism where your conclusions are justified but that I'm having you second-guess those beliefs you hold. It's Evangelical.
What you're doing also seems to be an appeal to ignorance as well, because if we read the plain text, Jesus being God is where the text leads.
Based on what the scripture says, these are the implications. For Jesus to be the king of heaven, for God The Father himself to call Jesus God in Hebrews chapter 1, for Jesus to call himself God in Revelation chapter 1, for Jesus to receive worship people and also angels or have authority to forgive sins, and for Jesus to fulfill prophecies that would call the one who fulfills this prophecy God all point to Jesus being God. This is where the plain text leads.
I thought they were brothers, but I guess it makes more sense that the son would be groomed and indoctrinated into the father's religion as per usual.
He’s dead wrong on how one gains salvation - Theres only GOD that’s good
Matthew 19:17
17And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother

@k-Mac This is God’s good news, not our own. So we need to really understand it because His good news towards us is amazingly good! Here is what the apostle Paul (Christ’s Apostole) states in regards to salvation through following the law:
“Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross. Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it? I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ. In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.”
Galatians 3:1-7 NLT
Doesn’t mean we can go sinning now, in fact through the Holy Spirit, we can now truly be like God!
“Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy.”

I know you disagree, but just for a moment, think how great of news is Jesus telling us. There can be more people who can be saved. In fact God wants the whole world to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and be saved! Praise God!
Please note.. Matthew mark Luke and John are old testament. Before the Cross. This Dispensation of Grace is from the Resurrection till the rapture of the Church.
Give me an answer please: in the King James Version in Matthew 2:23 it says, “And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.”
My question is who were the prophets, that spoke saying; He shall be called a Nazarene?
There might have been prophecies not recorded in the ot that do say something like that, or he might b using it as a representation of the nazarenes being viewed as unwanted and bad
This isn't really much of a problem, as there r many prophets and healers not recorded in the bible
I grabbed this from a Bible commentary.
------
The reference is vague, not to any particular prophet, but to the prophets in general. In no one place can any such statement be found. Some have suggested that it occurred in some prophetic book or oracle no longer extant. “Don’t ask,” says Euthy. Zig., “in what prophets; you will not find: many prophetic books were lost” (after Chrys.). Olearius, in an elaborate note, while not adopting, states with evident sympathy this view as held by others. Jerome, following the Jewish scholars (eruditi Hebraeorum) of his time, believed the reference to be mainly to Isaiah 11, where mention is made of a branch that shall spring out of Jesse’s root. This view is accepted by most modern scholars, Catholic and Protestant, the name of the town being viewed as a derivative from the Hebrew word (a feminine form). The epithet Ναζωραῖος will thus mean: “the man of Nazareth, the town of the off-shoot”. De Wette says: “In the spirit of the exegetical mysticism of the time, and applying what the Jews called Midrasch, deeper investigation, the word is used in a double sense in allusion at once to נֵצֶר, Isaiah 11:1, sprout, and to the name of Nazareth”. There may be something in the suggestion that the reference is to Jdg 13:7 : ὅτι Ναζιραῖον θεοῦ ἔσται, and the idea: one living apart in a secluded town.
Jesus had to come from Nazareth to show that something good could come from that city
If Jesus was a False Prophet then he is dead.
If Jesus is the Hebrew god Yahweh, he can arrange his own crucifixion, but he cannot die.
So which is it?
Good point!
The second.. circuitously..bodily death but spiritually alive then bodily risen (new/renewed) spiritual body. What is your objection?
@@peterberr3888 If Jesus is God he cannot die. For him there can be no death or resurrection.
The answer is neither.
He was probably a Rabbi and if not a Rabbi just a normal Jew who probably couldn’t write.
When did the early christians think Jesus would return? It's been 2000 years.
@Our Savior It's not a serious question, it's a serious comment. come on, be reasonable, 2000 years and a no show????? But Paul said Jesus would return when, you can answer that question.
@Our Savior In early Christian communities, people were confused why some of their members were dying when Jesus hadn't returned yet. They even wrote to St. Paul to complain
@Our Savior How do you know you have the "truth"? Or what the truth is.

"8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
If you could prove it 100% there would be no need for free will or choice. Think of this as a way to be able to choose freely, this is your will. Its a choice from your heart, you cant fake it and you wont see evil choose it. And that is the reason for it to be a belief and not a proof.
People would still have a choice. Thats not a logical conclusion.
Atheists, such as I, are not interested in 100% proof (whatever that may be). I am searching for ANY credible presentation that substantiates the truth of the claim proffered by Christians that the god of their devotion is a reality. Can you (or any one) provide even ONE evidentiary fact that goes toward that request?
@@joetaylor1976 If you see a car in front of you, you can try to deny that you have seen the car, and then call that a choice to not see the car. But the truth is you have seen the car no matter if you try to choose another view. There is no choice to try to convince yourself you did not see the car. Choosing to do good instead of evil needs a choice to sacrifice your own interests to help someone else. Where is the proof that sacrificing your own interest to do good is the correct thing to do? Its faith.

John 8:54... Jesus is not God. 1) That which is distinguish from God is not God. See John 20:17. 2) God cannot die. Jesus died... 3) Jesus was created. God is not created. There is only one God = the Father. My God and your God, Jesus says John 20:17. 4) When Jesus teaches his disciples to pray he doesn't say "you pray to me"...he says you pray "Our Father whom art in heaven. Hallowed be your name Your will be done..." not my will be done. Better do your homework... and read what Jesus actually said and clearly taught in the Bible, before you violate the first commandment Hear O Israel the Lord your God is One. Mark 12:29. When Jesus is praying on the cross he is not praying to himself... he is praying to God.
Stuart good too

Protestant principles can be logically and philosophically boiled down to the laziest and the most carnal interpretation of the apostle Paul, read part of Ephesians but don't read the whole thing, and give false importance to simple teachings. Works don't generate the needed will of God to save people, that's the simple meaning, it's a part of the larger picture of truth taught by Paul, James, John, and Peter with their master being the teachings of Jesus Christ, line upon line. Making your works meaningless isn't the right answer, salvation of your life isn't the only mission of Christ, listen to the words of Christ; "Whoever chooses to save his life shall lose it, and whoever will lose his life shall find it." Focusing on something good at the neglect of everything else is at the root of sin. As an example: Smoking makes you feel good, a good feeling, but at the neglect of your lungs, the neglect of the future of your health and your mental focus.
People believe Protestantism because it gives them more license to do what they want, to be their own authority over interpretation of scripture, to think they are better than the next reader of the Bible, it's easier to believe than to follow Christ and love God with your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The really ironic thing is people like Protestant pastors think their works sharing their version of a false gospel will save them and others, this is what people praise them for, somewhere in their mind they keep track of how long and how many people they've talked to for their comfort, how they feel about themselves, and how they would describe themselves to others. When you donate to a Protestant ministry you donate to the person, for his perceived effectiveness, for his works, this reveals it as a hypocritical message. Jesus Christ is the truth but Protestant ministries are just people with an opinion, their self-made opinion differs with others, it's relativism, a deceived and inconsistent opinion that is a sign of listening to a false teacher. It is truth mingled with philosophies of men, the truth part is good, it is better and more consistent than no truth, but it is a dead end stopped by the false philosophies of men mingled with the truth.
So you don't like Protestantism..... are you Catholic? Easter Orthodox? Something else?
.
I would submit to you that Protestants are nothing like what you've laid out here. Sure, some are hypocrites. Some have opinions that are not biblical. Welcome to humanity and why we need Jesus Christ as our savior.
.
Roman Catholics are an interesting group to discuss while we're at it. Some follow the Pope. Some don't. Some use birth control. Some don't. Some go to Mass. Some don't. Some think you get to heaven by how good a job you do obeying the 10 Commandments. Some trust in the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ alone. I say again, welcome to humanity and why we all need Jesus Christ as our savior.
@@sidwhiting665 I am not saying that it’s my subjective opinion that I don’t like it, I’m saying Protestantism is philosophically inconsistent and unfruitful if you analyze it honestly. Protestantism is attributing truth to God, making specific claims that have consequences, not just being silly broken humans. Belief without works for the highest reward of salvation from the highest judge God creates the erosion of merit and meritocracy which is the foundation of family and strong nations.
@@boltrooktwo I’m sorry to but into this conversation but did you just say meritocracy is the foundation of family? Did you mean within the family or a family within the culture around them? I don’t see how a family is built on meritocracy at all. When a baby is born the value of that baby has nothing to do with the merit that baby has or will earn. A baby is valued for various reasons and none of them are due to what it can do for the family since the baby offers nothing. A families foundation is built in love and self sacrifice for the other members of the family. I see that as the foundation, I just don’t see the foundation of the family as a meritocracy. If I misunderstood you I apologize. Thanks
@@christian11111 You mention it yourself, love and sacrifice by the parents take lot of action with much of it being of the highest merit. A marriage takes merit and work. Working on yourself before marriage to be the best possible partner. People have value as created in the likeness and image of God but their potential is wasted if they do nothing.
@@boltrooktwo I don’t disagree with you at all on that. I believe love to be the greatest form of work as to truly love someone you must place their well being above your own. This naturally results in action. With that said though I still wouldn’t define it as a meritocracy, but I understand what you are getting at. Just a difference of opinion in how you are applying that term. To me a meritocracy is when one’s status is directly related to their skill or ability at something or various things. I just can’t align that with a family. Yes the foundation of a family is love and love is not truly fulfilled without action, but I wouldn’t describe that as merit based in anyway. An individuals contributions to a family is not what warrants the love, it is the decision by family members to love one another that results in the loving actions. Love is a decision, it cannot or at least should not be earned, in return to one’s love though loving actions should be the response. I think you agree it’s just a disagreement of the use of the term meritocracy. Thanks for the discussion friend.
Here's a bet: I challenge any Christian to share where in the Bible does Jesus ever claimed to be "God." 🙋
Revelation 1:8 KJV
@@John3-16KJV vague
@@baburo101 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” I tend to agree, .. that is the author of Revelation ( who we have no idea who wrote that) making a vague claim that cannot be verified). People read into the Bible there own interpretation.
Sure the beginning of Psalms 23 Lord is my shepherd Jesus claims in John 10:11 I am the Good Shepherd 'I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away-and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. So if Jesus was merely a prophet a hired hand he would not be the good shepherd he would have to be God to be the good shepherd
@@jacobmarkell2568 That's ambiguous.
There's no atheists in a falling elevator
Jesus was either a false prophet or God? Is this an example of theistic reasoning? Those are the only possible explanations for Jesus that this guy can think of?
I say this all the time. Jesus is LORD or liar.
Messiah > Prophet
God > Jesus
JESUS is the ONLY begotten son of God.
JESUS is a "perfect" man.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus.
Islam teaches the the validity of the OT and gospel however say the people of the book changed it. Well how do you reconcile that which has been manipulated and yet hedge its teachings from a pock and choose feel. That is conflated thinking.
We have to stop saying trinity when people think of that they think of 3 different Gods being in one head God is Spirit, the same spirit in Jesus same spirit is the Holy Ghost , Jesus is the name of God that was given to the body which is the Son of god
I agree that the term 'Trinity' doesn't help with clarity but the whole concept is still confusing anyway because if there is only ONE God then we're supposed to accept that somehow, that ONE God was both up in Heaven, whilst at the same time he was down here on Earth in the form of Jesus, well, he must have been according to the Bible because he was praying to his other self in Heaven and calling himself 'Father' and when he was dying on the cross he said "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit", right? How does that make any sense if he is in just ONE being?
Also, after Jesus got baptised, the Bible tells us there was a voice from Heaven that said about him 'this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased'. I mean, how are we reasonably supposed to take that without looking at the possibility that maybe there is more than one divine being involved here?? And, if we are wrong and there is only one then now could that one God blame us for thinking there might be more than one when he referred to HIMSELF in the third person in the Bible? I mean, would you say this one God you believe in is a reasonable enough being to appreciate just how difficult it is for us to accept all of this without question or getting confused?? 🤔
@@JohnCashin hey John if you look up pastor Gino Jennings he will explain it better than I can but the Bible makes it clear
@@DanielPrater93 Thanks, I will look him up but there's no point in saying 'the Bible makes it clear' because it self evidently DOESN'T make it clear, otherwise there would be no need for someone like Pastor Gino Jennings or anyone else to explain it better.
What the Bible does is provide various passages within it that are open to interpretation, the things that Jesus said according to the Bible can be taken many different ways and Christians don't all agree on which way to take them.
Now, what many Christians will say to me in response to that is "hey, John, you need to study it", and, sure, the Bible does need to be studied to get the exact or near exact historical meanings and contexts within which things were said, I'll agree with that but the very fact that it needs to be studied denotes that it's NOT easy or clear to understand.
You see, when you have to study something, that means it's hard work and so it can't be both 'clear' and hard to understand without studying it. Christians need to be more honest and just admit it's NOT easy to understand the Bible just by reading it alone, it takes many hours of studying to really understand all the different historical elements that surround the things that are said within it.
There's absolutely no point in us who live in the 21st Century in the Western world trying to understand what Moses or Jesus said all of those thousands of years ago based on our world today, we need to understand the time and place they were living in all of those thousands of years ago, this is why if there really is a God who inspired the writings in the Bible, then, whilst it's not up to me to say it was a bad idea, it quite obviously wasn't the easiest or clearest way to convey a message to us.
@@JohnCashin I totally understand what you are saying I put it wrong or I didn’t use the correct wording , see everything the Bible say people don’t really understand the meaning and words because they don’t read it correctly that’s where religion come along you know God didn’t say be a Christian, baptis or any Other religion God say to be Holy because I am holy THATS it but we the people has given false doctrine to people , I can admit I called my self Christian and didn’t even read the book I just thought God called his people that. This pastor I speak about is the only pastor I have found that actually reads straight from the Bible and interpretation is so little, Such as marriage Jesus said to the people Moses allowed you to divorce your wife’s that wasn’t God intention from the beginning he said they had harden hearts and said you can put away your wife or aside not divorce there for only it be for fornication, the churches think okay she have to cheat on me then I can leave her ? Fornication is only between Two that aren’t married ( 2 people being engaged) not married yet but people think you can get remarried and divorce the only way God wants it is that one person have to Die or you two can separate but you guys are still married and if one of you marries another you have sinned meaning committed adultery. Today you have pastor that preach that have 2-10 wife’s that’s why you mean not lean on your thinking of why the Bible is and Yes study and pull different example from the Bible and break it down please let me know what you think of his preaching and get back with me
@@JohnCashin did you get a chance im still waiting for your response
If your churches do not Practice what first century churches did (acts 4:32-35) then GOD is not dwelling on you because you are not House of HIM.your end will be like synagogues (mix with poor and rich)(James 2:2-9) to be burned forever(psalms 74:8)that is very dangerous for all souls if you preach to people.
You cannot talk about the crusades in defense of Islam, because Islam was murdering and capturing Africans and even Europeans at one point BEFORE the Europeans started to fight back (aka European crusades)
I am from somali in africa islam came to us by peace while Christianity came to us by force colonization racism evil so please stop accusing Islam you evil crusaders
*Here's the answer to your title: Jesus is Either a False Prophet or Who He Claimed To Be: GOD!*
*Answer:* Jesus never claimed he was God. Therefore, the Jesus Cliffe claims is God doesn't exist. Purely fictional.
JESUS IS GOD. HE IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR...
Surah 5:68 - "O YE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (Jews and Christians) YOU HAVE NO MORAL GROUND TO STAND ON UNLESS YOU OBEY THE LAW (Torah) AND THE WRITINGS (New Testament).
Torah + the Prophets + New Testament = Bible.
So Surah 5:68 is telling Jews and Christians to obey the Bible.... But if you actually read the Bible for yourself, you will realise that the Bible rules out any further prophets or scriptures. The only future "prophets" that the Bible says will come around after Jesus, were the "false prophets" like Muhammed. So the Bible rules out the Quran... But the Quran confirms the Bible.
🤔🤔🤔
Islam also tries to say that Jesus was a prophet of Allah... the problem is that Jesus made himself equal with the Father many times in the Bible scriptures. So according to islam - that would make Jesus a "false prophet".
🤔🤔🤔
Jesus said -
"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NOBODY COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME".
Jesus is our Lord and our God. He is our only Salvation.
God bless you as you put your faith and trust in him.
🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
In Matthews Gospel 7:15 - Jesus Christ said to his disciples....
"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps clothing yet inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognise them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?. So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognise them by their fruits".
Now, since Jesus was warning people about the best way to spot a "false prophet"... Lets just take a little time to have a look at the fruits of Muhummad. Lets just see if the fruits of Muhummad were "good" or "bad"...
➡️1. Muhammad’s marriage to 6yr old Aisha-(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234 and 236).⬅️
➡️2. Aisha cleans Muhammad’s semen stains-(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 229-233),⬅️
➡️3. Muhammad fondling Aisha during her ‘Menses’ (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number
298-300, Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 1, Number 0270)⬅️
➡️4. Muhammad liked to have intercourse with Aisha and his other wives when they were menstruating (Sahih Muslim, Book 003, Number 0577-0579),⬅️
➡️5. Muhammad loved to recite the Quran when his wives were in Menses while lying between their legs!-(Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 296), (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 639)⬅️
➡️6. Muhammad married (without Nikkah) his adopted Son’s wife called ‘Zaynab’ after lusting for her and then banned Adoption in Islam- Therefore, he kept his own daughter in law Zainab as concubine. (Surah 33:37,Sahih Al- Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 305, Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3330, Sahih al- Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516,The History of Al-Tabari: The Victory of Islam, translated by Michael Fishbein, 1997], Volume VIII, pp. 2-3)⬅️
➡️7. Muhammad having sex with his dead Aunt in the Grave-( “Kanz Al Umal” (The Treasure of the Workers, by Ali Ibn Husam Aldin, commonly known as Al-Mutaki Al-Hindi. He based his book on the hadiths and sayings listed in “Al-Jami Al- Saghir,” written by Jalal ul-Din Al-Suyuti.)
- ‘I (Muhammad) put on her my shirt that she may wear the clothes of heaven, and I slept with her in her coffin (grave) that I may lessen the pressure of the grave. She was the best of Allah’s creatures to me after Abu Talib’… The prophet was referring to Fatima , the mother of Ali. “The Arabic word used here for slept is “Id’tajat,” and literally means “lay down” with her. It is often used to mean, “Lay down to have sex.”⬅️
➡️8. Muhammad and the Quran sanctioned sex with your wives and ‘married’ slave girls-(Quran - 70:22-30, 23:5,6, 4:24, 33:50),⬅️
➡️9. Muhammad speaks of sex with Slave Girls- (Sahih Bukhari - Volume 3, #432, Volume 9, #506, Volume 5, # 637, Sahih Muslim, Volume 2, #3371)⬅️
➡️10. Muhammad disagreed with ‘coitus interruptus’ with slave girls- he supported RAPE.⬅️
➡️11. Muhammad forces a 17 yr old Jewish girl called Safiyyah to marry him and rapes her on the same day her husband and family are killed in the battle of Khaibar (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 522, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367).
- Al Tabari reported in his (‘The History of al- Tabari: The Victory of Islam’, Translated by Michael Fishbein) that even some of Muhammad’s wives and companions were shocked that he forced Safiyyah to marry him after beheading her husband, brother and father.⬅️
All these acts of Muhummad are 100% historically accurate. It seems like the fruits of Muhummad were not just "bad". But they were SO bad that they were rotten and full of filthy worms and decay, deceit, lies, and false promises.
In Johns Gospel 14:6 Jesus Christ said - "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Nobody comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him".
Jesus Christ is Lord and God.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one God in 3 separate forms. Just like Ice, Water, and Steam are all H2⁰ in 3 separate forms.
Jesus loves you... Trust in him as your Lord and Saviour.
where in scripture can I find what you say
@@donaldcoleman514
What are you referring to specifically?.
If you want to be a manifest son of GOD, use the power of the holy ghost to show them signs and wonders.
There are other options, as well... such as:
1. a real man (Jesus) became a legend, with fanciful details added.
2. the Jesus of the Bible was started without a real man, but, instead, thru revelation and going thru scripture, as Paul said he recieved the faith... see Dr Richard Carrier's books/debates.
You should not be capitulating on the crusades. They were completely justified and incredibly humane as far as wars throughout history.
I would never respect mo hummad he went to war with innercent nations just to inflict his own religion praise and gloary goes to Jesus Christ to the father book of John says all praise goes to him ie Jesus to the father
The lack of Evidence, means we can never truly know for sure. TEXT DOES NOT COUNT. This is why it's called a faith system. You have to believe or your a sinner who will be judged (according to Christianity)...NOT EXACTLY SCIENTIFIC. Believe or suffer. Wat a choice.
science is not the answer to everything
tell me all of your scientific evidence ill wait
@@redbrrdz7423 yes, it is. People religiously closed, often say this....because you refuse to admit that wat you believe might be just scriblings in a book and nothing more. There is no evidence of Jesus being alive. He might have, but wheres the body? We have second hand accounts by his disciples, john, luke, Peter....so wheres the writings of Jesus himself. Cleopatra lived around those times, so too did tutankhamun....we have both of these sarcophagus' we have actually written evidence, we have so many artifacts.....YET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS. Just places he might have been born or visited and a tomb he MIGHT have been put into. If he had a child with mart magdalene, where are his descendants, his bloodline. That's the point, the only evidence is a book made up by multiple people, giving thier own views on these events. I could write something down today about a person, get others to do the same and in 2000yrs everyone will believe that person existed. Admit it we dont know...no one does. That's why it's a faith.
@@redbrrdz7423 microbes, which evolved in water and slowely evolved in to sea creatures, into land creatures, in time into humans.

@Our Savior Wrong. I am trying to understand his point and how he arrived at it.
Are you asserting anyone who asks a question about an assertion is necessarily a troll?
@@theoskeptomai2535 jeez... you're ridiculous. Is there anything wrong with WAITING until someone asserts something?
You just do that.
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. Below are 10 facts I must consider when evaluating the claim made by theists that a god exists. To be clear, these are not premises for an argument concluding there to be no gods. These are simply facts I take into account when evaluating the claim.
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 either fallacies or false 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 phenomena 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.
That's a lot of stuff you wrote lol but I see your point. I'm not here to argue but share my point of view. When I read about Jesus, it appears that rationality and evidence of his existence is not really what gets people to have faith in him. However, God provides evidence of his existence just from the creation around you. It might seem basic but God is called the unmoved mover. He never began to exist and the universe had a beginning so one may ponder what started this chain of events. You can't really say quantum vacuum is what started it because you are already taking for granted that this "vacuum" is matter. So what you are left with is nothing started everything which does not hold any ground of possibility. When we move on to evolution, it seems very implausible that the phenomenon of natural selection randomly adapts to the environment. This seems to indicate some type of intelligent system of engineering. Looking more deeply at the micro level, DNA is literally language. If you have taken coding classes, you would understand the level of complicity one must provide for a simple application. Compare this to DNA, which takes the complexity to another dimension. And life didn't start simple, which many still believe, but a simple bacteria has so much information in it that it should just take your breath away. I am a computer engineer and the crap that I have to deal with is nothing compared to DNA. Overall the evidence of God is there but it won't force one to have faith. The main message is that you can be saved form Death. Death is the real problem humans face and the message of the gospel tells us that Everlasting life is here. It's a real trip that God offers life to those who humble themselves and call on the name of the Lord. Thanks
@@sogekingyee What _exactly_ are you claiming this god has created around me?
Bro too much to unpack in a comment
But hope u get ur answers in the near future
And for the millionth time
Athiesm is the active denial of deity, that's literally the meaning of the word
Don't like it, call urself an agnostic
@@ultracrepiderian I disagree. I am agnostic but an atheist. The two are not mutually exclusive and here is why:
There is _but one_ claim that the position of atheism regards. And that is the 'theistic' claim that "God(s) exists."
Like all claims to truth, this claim breaks down on three dichotomous axes: *_truth_* of the claim; *_acknowledgement_* of the claim; and *_sufficiency of knowledge_* as to the claim.
The first dichotomous axis addresses the truth _position._ Like any claim to truth, the 'theistic' claim is either true or _not_ true (false). There is no middle ground.
The second dichotomous axis addresses the acknowledgement _position._ The recipient evaluating the claim either acknowledges the claim as true (theism), or does _not_ acknowledge the claim as true (atheism). Again, there is no middle ground.
The third dichotomous axis addresses the _sufficiency of knowledge_ as to the claim _position._ Either the recipient evaluating the claim has sufficient knowledge or information as to the truth of the claim (gnostism), or does _not_ have sufficient knowledge or information concerning the claim (agnosticism).
The default 'acknowledgement' position on the claim that "god(s) exists" is _atheism_ for this is the position the recipient begins with _prior_ to hearing the claim for the first time. It would be impractical to acknowledge the truth of a claim _before_ hearing it for the first time.
The default position addressing 'sufficiency of knowledge or information' is _agnosticism_ for this is the position the recipient begins with _prior_ to hearing the claim. One can not claim to have sufficient knowledge or information concerning a given claim _until_ he or she hears the claim for the first time.
This presents four populations of recipients evaluating the claim that "god(s) exists."
The 'gnostic theist' claims to have sufficient knowledge or information to justify changing their position from atheism (default) to theism by acknowledging the claim. Often this population claims to acquire "sufficient knowledge" from revelation from or personal relationship with the deity mentioned in the claim.
The 'gnostic atheist' claims to have sufficient knowledge or information to justify remaining in the position of atheism (default) by _rejecting to acknowledge_ the claim. This population is sometimes referred to as 'strong atheists'. This population may or may not make the additional claim "god(s) don't exist." If so, like the theists in the original claim, those that make such a claim now encumber a burden of proof to substantiate such claim with evidence.
The 'agnostic theist' claims to _not_ have sufficient knowledge or information to justify changing their position from atheism (default) by does so _anyways_ by acknowledging the truth of the claim _through_ 'faith'.
And last, the 'agnostic atheist' claims to _not_ have sufficient knowledge or information to justify changing their initial position of atheism so they _continue to suspend acknowleging the truth of the claim until sufficent evidence is presented._
Of the four populations, only the 'gnostic theists' and the 'agnostic atheists' are *_justified_* in their final positions. The former is justified in changing their position to theism by 'revelation'. The latter is justified in suspending such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced, and therefore remain atheist.
This is how I can demonstrate that I am indeed an atheist - an agnostic atheist.
@@theoskeptomai2535 i disagree as well
If one says they're an agnostic, they r making no claims about the objective reality of a deity existing or not
An athiest for all of history has been a person who actively holds the belief that there is no room for doubt unless new information is introduced that deity dosent exist
If u wanna make up new names for urself, feel free
What a stupid assumption! Let Jesus speak for himself! Did he claim divinity? No never!
This is what Jesus said of Himself:
“why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God’? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.”
John 10:36 NLT
“Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?”
John 14:8-9 NLT
(Another translation of that verse)
“Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father and then we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and you do not know Me yet, Philip, nor recognize clearly who I am? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’”
John 14:8-9 AMP
“The Father and I are one.””
John 10:30 NLT
And this is what God testified about Jesus:
“Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.””
Mark 9:7 NLT
What are thoughts about what Jesus says of Himself? What does this mean?
@@nothingelsetochoose Jesus was a Jewish prophet, so he use son to mean that he is a good servent of God, a man , not a god, just like all prophets in his history! Christian have misunderstood the context from the very beginning and forged divinity to Jesus and created a new idolatrous religious which is contradictory to the teachings of Jesus himself
Look at what Jesus says here, they already mentioned prophet, but then Jesus revealed that Simon was blessed because he recognized Jesus as the messiah, the Son of the living God. Clearly there is a difference between a prophet and the messiah/Son of God. He also mentioned that it was The Father in heaven who revealed this to Peter. Here’s the scripture:
“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.”
Matthew 16:13-20 NLT
But to your point, what is the teaching of Jesus, why did He come? What was He to do?
“No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.”
John 3:13-18 NLT
These are Jesus’ words - He came to save the world from Judgement. That who ever believe Him “the One and ONLY Son” will have eternal life and not perish.
This is what Jesus taught - this is the good news of Jesus Christ. Believe and be saved friend!
