Nonsense. Utterly common nonsense.

Dennis, What does it hurt for someone to do right, to be led by someone that is a great example to follow? Why does it torment you that people are using their freedom? If they are wrong, what is it to you? If they are happy, why does it bother you so much? Let them be Christians and you can believe in Secular Humanism. What a great country that we can do that eh?

@@scottgarvy It's fascinating that you see no harm in self-deception. You ask a series of very silly questions, so let me answer them. *"What does it hurt for someone to do right, to be led by someone that is a great example to follow?"* Uh huh; it just pains me to no end to see people doing right! That was a silly question! But back to reality: the notion that anyone should "follow" or be "led by" an ancient figure is absurd. Knowledge & understanding are cumulative, and the result of human efforts over all of history. There is no single figure anyone needs to follow, and doing so indicates a misunderstanding of the evolution of ideas. *"Why does it torment you that people are using their freedom?"* Ouch. That was even sillier! Back to the real world and the actual subject matter, which has *nothing to do with freedom.* We're free to believe all manner of absurdities, but should we? With freedom comes responsibility, and making good choices matters. *"If they are wrong, what is it to you?"* It surprises me when people give this so little thought. The answer is so obvious; beliefs have *consequences.* Do you wish to live surrounded by superstition, or do you prefer an educated community whose actions are based upon reality instead of ancient myth? Your entire comment is about "freedom" and my seeming opposition to it, which entirely misses the point. If you'd like to get back on topic, let me know and we can discuss. As a refresher, here is the comment which I reacted to: *"...a deep and abiding Christian faith has always been the bedrock of western culture, and the strength behind the success of the American Republic. One nation, under God. If we lose that faith as a nation, there is no hope."* Is there reason to suppose this is true, or not? 😇

That's totally your opinion and you know what they say about opinions....

@@scottgarvy What they say about opinions is wrong! What matters is how well supported opinions are. Using the old "That's your opinion" line is an easy way to avoid making the effort to support your case. Opinions are not equally valid. This should be abundantly obvious. You can do better, my friend.

please respect other faiths...many started before yours btw...practice not preach?

@@carlsilverman754 sorry, not sure what you are meaning to say.

@@rooferonhigh7124 Like most religious mythology believers you don't know the history of the mythology you believe in.

Try it first.

2 Peter chapter 3!

Thank you for sharing your inspirational story. I hope it touches the heart of masses as it has touched mine!🙏🏽

4:24 - 4:51...I'm glad you were given "eyes to see"...what most modern protestants are (willingly?) ignorant of ...or unfortunately, even theologically oppose ...is that God does all the Work in Baptism (Titus 3:5)...

That passage is not speaking of water baptism, but a cleansing from sin by the new birth and indwelling of the Spirit, becoming children of God.

@@judithmargret5972 ..Sorry ...but denying legion of Scripture merely because it flys in the face of your sad "dry" theology...does not prove your point...for instance where is your "sinner's Prayer", "Altar Call", or "asking Jesus into your heart" in the Bible?..it not there, because all that was literally invented by "faith-only" revivalist Evangelicals 1000s of years after St Paul and Peter...that is provable history.... of course "the washing" of regeneration", in Titus 3:5 is Water baptism...the Greek word for "washing" there is "Louton" (have you ever heard the British call the Bathroom a "Lou")...it means "Bath in water"...read it and weep: Strong's Concordance #3067 loutron: a washing, a bath Original Word: λουτρόν, οῦ, τό Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: loutron Phonetic Spelling: (loo-tron') Definition: a washing, a bath Usage: a bath (of water, not the vessel), water for washing, washing. ...Biblically Water Baptism when one receives Holy Spirit and becomes in a child of God have you also never read ?...John 3:5, Galatians 3:26-27, Act 2:38...the Bible is very consistent on this matter ...on the other Hand your "dry" theology is modern, unscriptural and human...

@@anarchorepublican5954 You really lost me at your insults which really prove you have no fruit of the Spirit, and cannot debate with goodwill, but insults and slurs. As for what you accuse me off, my sad, dry theology, when you have a religion that denies Scripture of course anything that's truth is sad and dry to you. As for altar calls, sinners prayers, and asking Jesus into your heart, you're right, they aren't Biblical, and I don't believe they are to be used, neither does my church. Do you always bear false witness against anyone who disagrees with you? Anyway to the subject, you would change all of Scripture to make it agree with your twisted theology, but truth is stronger than your twisting of it. Water baptism is nowhere stated as the means of salvation, believing on Jesus is the only requirement, water baptism comes when we are born again.

There's a "god" and it calls people? Can't wait to hear more! 😇

im sure there is a muslim person saying the same thing, see thats the thing its true for the thousands of religion that exist. and you will find all kinds of scenarios of conversions maybe the one thing I get out is that its the idea rather then the actual god.

@@ekoboyz757 "Religion" is man reaching for God; Christianity is God reaching man. There's quite a huge difference. Other "religions" are merely demonic playgrounds. There's a reason why the Greeks are Orthodox Christian now--they had sense enough to realize the Truth not just in their minds, but also in their hearts.

@@chikkipop facetious?

Why?

@@iamfuncruz How does someone who may have lived centuries ago change lives? Hope for what?

@@chikkipop Jesus is God and He changes lives. Ask God to show you.

@@iamfuncruz *"Jesus is God"* That is what is called a *CLAIM.* Now, why do you claim that? And how can I ask a "god" to show me anything unless I have good reason to believe such a thing exists? And if it exists, why would it wait to be asked?

Yes now after this pandemick we ned GOD IN OUR LIFE NOT IN THE MOMENT SOMETHING IS WRONG TO CALL FOR HEM IS EVERY DAY THANK HEM FOR EVERYTHING

@@irenec3633 You have a need for a magic being, but many people do just fine without it. Being an adult includes accepting reality.

@@chikkipop God IS Reality, for He alone is why LIFE exists. Read the beginning of John's Gospel, and know that the author was in the very Presence of the Lord Himself. As for the "many who do just fine without it", they're now living so comfortably that they can afford to be blissfully ignorant and arrogant, and they're no different from the sodomites and those killed by the Flood. Extreme rationality eventually kills rationality its very self.

@@chriskourliourod1651 *"God IS Reality, for He alone is why LIFE exists."* And you know this amazing news just how, exactly? *"Read the beginning of John's Gospel, and know that the author was in the very Presence of the Lord Himself."* How can I know something that there is no reason to know?! Why would you believe an ancient myth? *"As for the "many who do just fine without it", they're now living so comfortably that they can afford to be blissfully ignorant and arrogant, and they're no different from the sodomites and those killed by the Flood."* So let me get this straight; if we're living comfortably, we're blissfully ignorant and arrogant because we see no reason to believe a "god" exists? And we're equivalent to people who engage in sodomy and those *killed* for being wicked in some way?! Wow. *" Extreme rationality eventually kills rationality its very self."* So let me get this straight; *"extreme rationality"* is what you call simply doubting the existence of supernatural characters from ancient myths? What a strange world you've been indoctrinated into.

He is nothing of the sort. Just another victim of self-deception.

@@chikkipop Ah, a troll. Begone!

What does a "truth seeker" find?

@@chikkipop The Source of Truth. Jesus. All else is reflected truth. Most religious beliefs and humanist philosophies have some truth, but, none of them are the Source. Truth Seekers are like salmon swimming up the river to the salmon spawning grounds..there is a call upon them they can't ignore...no matter the hungry bears and jagged rocks that hurt them as they swim against the current...they just keep moving forward, they can't help themselves. A Truth Seeker in the West typically knows the name of Jesus, but, Truth Seekers want to actually know Him, not just know about Him, so they rarely fit into the religious institutions of Christendom. Truth Seekers in the East typically don't know the name of Jesus, but, they stand for Truth even if it gets them killed e.g. if a young man tells his village chief it's wrong for that chief to kill a man so he can have his wife, and then the yong man gets a spear through his heart for speaking so fearlessly, I guarantee that he'll be greeted by Jesus and enter Paradise. Holy God plants Truth Seekers all over this earth! Truth Seekers are also fearless Truth Speakers...it just kind of comes with the job 😏

@@catherinecastle8576 *"The Source of Truth."* That's so funny! Imagine thinking like that, completely lacking in nuance, as though *Truth* with an uppercase "T" is an actual thing. *"Most religious beliefs and humanist philosophies have some truth, but, none of them are the Source."* Sadly, religions are the cause of the kind of confusion common to all believers, who learn of an unseen external "source" which is no more than a human creation. That you have been indoctrinated to believe otherwise attests to your willingness to submit to a comforting story, and the willingness of religions to scam their flock in order to remain in business. Religions know most people *WANT* to be duped, and they take full advantage. *"I guarantee that he'll be greeted by Jesus and enter Paradise."* I'll bet you do! And when you have *evidence* I'll be the first to nominate you for a *Nobel Prize!* 😁 But back to *reality:* It astonishes me that people so bound up in their delusions at the same time characterize themselves as *"Truth Seekers!"* Of course, you are anything but! Prove otherwise. Provide solid evidence for your claims, as REAL truth seekers will do. When you can do this, your knowledge will change the world. Until then, you're just another common and self-deceived "believer." Let's see how fearless you really are!

@@chikkipop can you prove that i'm wrong? So far you're doing no better than what you accuse me...being opinionated. But, that's fine with me. I started adult life telling people "the Bible is nothing but a crutch for psychological cripples". So I am not lacking in compassion for you 😁 Dennis, are you married? What proof is there that your spouse loves you??? That your spouse married you? Longevity? No divorce? What your spouse says or does to or for you? Or is it enough you want to believe your spouse loves you? With many marriages starting in fornication, moving onto adultery, abortions and divorce, sometimes murder, being married is no proof of love, is it? So how do you prove love...or prove hate for that matter? Some people absolutely hate and denounce unrighteousness and injustice - does that make them hateful people that need to be destroyed? Criminals might think so. Communists might think so. Also, there are many things we believe, yet, we have no faith (no trust) in them. I believe water can quench my thirst and, at the same time, unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, I must also choose to trust that the water isn't poisoned. If it's good quality well water, not only do I believe its water, but, I also trust it, even though I don't necessarily know beyond doubt that on that particular day it was not poisoned by a crazy neighbor. I also believe Biden and Trudeau are our Western Leaders, yet, I've never personally met them. So do I trust the media who tells me who they are? Do I trust that they are good Leaders. No. Not even a little bit. While I do believe we have a MSNM and that our Dear Leaders exist, but, I do NOT trust them. In my case, I place my trust in Holy Divine God and not in anyone or anything created, not anymore. My first 35 years of life experience told me that I could marry my husband having known him only 5 months, and 31 years later we're doing fine. Could I have proved to anyone our love for each other was real? Beyond doubt? No. Yet, I knew...just as I know God's love for me s not a figment of my imagination, and that His enduring Truth is even more real to me than is my (created) husband who, with lots of proofs and with no doubts, is my very best friend on earth. He, by the way, is an Evolutionist so sometimes our conversations are quite interesting 😂 The psyche (soul) exists above the physical and material realm and below the spirit(ual)...where experience, knowledge, beliefs and faith (trust) battle it out between the Source of Truth & Love and the Source of Lies and Hate...and some of us (like Spawning Salmon) have been Truth Seekers all our lives, it's like we're driven ever forward to accomplish something that only gets revealed day by day, year by year, and mainly by God's Holy Spirit and with God as the Living Word and with God's own words. However, not all Truth Seekers have the privilege of being born into and raised in national Christendom (the West) with it's civilized rule of law and it's spiritual NT Christian Bibles available even in our hotels. Instead, some Truth Seekers are born into cultures where neither rule of law nor bibles are available to protect their rights and develop their character, and provide insight into our Creator's Plans for His human creation. Yet, they still, almost blindly, seek a path of love and truth, no matter what it costs them. In many ways I admire those Truth Seekers most of all. Well, I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone, I'm merely expressing my beliefs and encouraging others to believe as do I...but, Jesus never imposed Himself on me, so neither do I ever impose my beliefs about Him on others. Yet, I must "show Him off" because He has answered every question I've ever asked, even if it took years, and He was so patient with me during my immature stage...so, yeah, I recommend Jesus to anyone who cares to listen! By the way, I do not go to church, I do not attend any of Christendom's many religious organizations and denominations. I follow only Jesus. I read my Bible, pray, trust and obey. That's it, that's all. Anyhow, Dennis, you've given me things to think about 😏 and I wish you all the best life on earth has to offer.

Another "truth seeker" has fled.😎

Why would anyone have a reason to believe you?

Praise God! He healed you physically, mentally, and eternally! Me too!

What "truth"? Could you explain?

@@chikkipop well, I believe that we are eternal beings created by God. Over 66 books of the Bible were written by men dedicated to that premise and in the New Testament part of those books, specifically the book of John 14:6 it describes how you can know the truth and be set free. It says that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one gets to the Heavenly Father and eternal life without trusting that only Jesus can get you there. In my lifetime, I’ve seen people try to find meaning for life in so many people and things, but I really believe it’s only through Jesus that you can. Blessings to you! Happy Easter!

@@naomivillalba3815 So basically you're saying you believe a story written by superstitious men centuries ago. Why? How can any living thing be "eternal"? No science supports such an idea. And what "truth" are you referring to? How would you know it was true? *"It says that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one gets to the Heavenly Father and eternal life without trusting that only Jesus can get you there."* Yes, that's what it says. The question is, why would a person in the 21st century believe an ancient myth? *"I’ve seen people try to find meaning for life in so many people and things, but I really believe it’s only through Jesus that you can."* The meaning we have in our lives is *OURS* to make! We don't get it from some magical invisible father figure. What is a "blessing"? Doesn't it seem likely that you and so many others have been indoctrinated to believe a comforting myth?

It's "you're". Twice.

What "god"? What "holy spirit? What "heaven"? How did you learn of such unusual things?

Me too!

@@Fisher-King *"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."* This is false. "Faith" comes from indoctrination and self-deception; by the time someone reads an ancient book men wrote, he's either susceptible to it or he isn't. NO ONE should have faith. Not sure why you suggest some passages from an ancient book, but I'm happy to discuss them with you if you'd like. I'll start: what is it about these passages that you think is important?

Nonsense, Mary. Why are you so naïve?

@@chikkipop , I am not naive. The truth will set you free.

@@marygreen2672 Anyone who parrots a common phrase they've been taught is naïve, unless they can explain what they mean. Sorry, but not realizing how indoctrinated you are is typical.

@@chikkipop , GOD IS GREAT. I wasn't taught that. HAVE A NICE LIFE.😁 JESUS IS RISEN.😇💜😇💜I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING.

@@marygreen2672 What god, and how do you know about it? If you weren't taught that, why do you say the same things other believers say? Is it just a coincidence? You say you don't have to explain anything because you *CAN'T* explain! Look up the word *"indoctrination."* You believe an ancient myth because it is common in your world. What would you believe if you were born in Saudi Arabia?

Yes HE WALK IN WATER AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HEM OUR JESUS

Bullshit.

There will never be *"One Nation Under God"* as long as there are thinking people in this country. His "testimony" won't do anything but confirm the absurdity of his belief.

@@chikkipop Actually it is the other way around from my view point. Many people who were given that argument have done research and every one of them that I know (a few that did research to prove your point) have now come to realize that there is major evidence to prove Andrew is absolutely correct. I am one of them. I sincerely hope that you will do your own research for yourself.

@@RafterQ *"there is major evidence"* I challenge you to provide some of this "major" evidence. And the idea that we need to do "our own" research about something which is supposed to be a confirmed fact is silly. If something so important is a fact, the evidence & "research" should be widely available. I look forward to seeing what you have found!

@@chikkipop If I were you, I would start with a book by Josh McDowell "The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict". It is new because it combines two previously written books into one. It is a large book so I would challenge you to read it or at least part of it with an open mind. If you do that, you will be able to put all the facts together and decide for yourself. You sound so much like me before I found the truth - I remember a very heated argument with a friend about how silly things that are in the Bible sound. I was so wrong. I now don't need more evidence as my journey has brought me to a place in which I can "hear" Him answer me when we talk. It has taken many years because I thought it was silly and you had to not be a thinking person to believe. I was so wrong. I now realize that the facts were all around me, but I was smarter than that!

@@RafterQ I'm familiar with Josh. His books are only convincing to those already in the fold. He's just another garden variety apologist. I think I still have a paperback copy of his original book that someone had given me, and it was laughably unconvincing. Like reading Strobel's book, or "Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis, it quickly becomes obvious that these books don't hold up to legitimate scrutiny. You speak of your "journey" and how you were "so wrong," but nowhere do you explain what you were wrong about, or how you found out. You said *"I now realize that the facts were all around me"* and yet nowhere do you present any! This is a common behavior with believers, and points to one explanation; you made an emotion-based decision to give your life "meaning," and facts had nothing to do with it. If they did, you and so many other believers would have so much more to offer than bad apologetics writers who make their money by selling to the flock. The facts are all around us, right Lynne? OK, then let's hear about some of them! Nobel Prizes are earned when people show that something astonishing is true! 😄

True❤️

Don't worry too much about it, they're all just fairy tales anyway.
