I love that name

Awesome that you you were able to grow and more fairly consider the logic and reasons supporting faith!

Can I assume that you are now a "christian"? Your YT name and other statements seem to indicate very little progress in any direction. Self mockery is your unhappy condition now.

your and George's ridiculous God is so utterly small. human imagination-sized. an Infinite one could never fit in the box of your imagination. all you can ridicule is the idea of a God, which is your caricature. look at an atom. Great youtubes showing electrons in uniquely shaped clouds in each of the outer 5 s,p,d,f subshells. each is lower than the next in energy. no cartoon, here. Tamed order, power, structure, information processing. Each atom in all of reality behaving as if possesses a rudimentary awareness of its surroundings and things far away, by responding to and storing information, emitting quantitized energy by rules too complex for ordinary mortals to grasp, but readily summed in Schrodinger's elegant equations. Big Bang Energy condensed by specific rules governing almost infinite forces trapped in Planck sized spaces ,with behaviors the same all across 40 billion light years. Randomness without intelligentally defined rules created that? the Being(s) capable of imagining how to do that and making it happen in a few nanoseconds, is only worthy of awe.

LOL Clearly not.

Chris I appreciate your brother one thing how could a choice be free yet determined. I can’t be condemned for blindness when my blindness was decreed that would make God the author of evil I think

@@donthomas4793 Take a look at “Federal Headship on the dividing line” on KZfaq. (There are lots of others that discuss it ,but this is good) The reformation hinged on “The bondage of the Will “ by Martin Luther. This was the same thoughts of Augustine and mentioned in the early church fathers writings (Diagnetus for example) Hope this helps in understanding the difficult realisation we have free will and it is determined.

Nah.

Reformed gobbledygook.

@@markdaniels1730 …love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and strength and with all your MIND.

I was called to share the Gospel with Muslims in Paris. The Muslims who accepted to pray with me, all saw the Christ, had visions….Give Him a try : God if you exit, I must know. Save my soul if I have One.” He is not far away.

What do you mean by the phrase "transforms hearts"?

The gospels were written by the Romans to convince the Jews to bend over backwards to Rome and get taken from behind

Amen. Listen to the testimonies of the Chinese brothers and sisters

@@theoskeptomai2535 when God Almighty gives you rebirth you have a new heart. You have love, you have the ability to forgive, listen to the story of Virginia Prodan, who lived as a dedicated atheist lawyer in Romania. It will give you much understanding.

Jeesus the myth

None of what you wrote is even remotely rational or reasoned. I've never heard anyone say such things. Where did you get such strange ideas, and why would you believe them? What do you mean by 'Wormwood'?

@@jamescooke5063 All my ideas come from the Holy Bible...which is a wonderful source of knowledge in all the electromagnetic behaviours in all stars, in atoms, in galaxies, in science, and in life. After you have got all these things working in harmony it leads you into a wonderful electromagnetic understanding in the healthy, replication of the living cell...and after a great deal of Christian research we find Wormwood menacingly threatening Planet Earth...but it all starts and ends with the Holy Bible...and especially in the righteous teaching of Jesus Christ.

Following a myth doesn't sound scientific in the least

@@zhengfuukusheng9238 One man's myth is another man's science. When we analyse the Holy Bible we find the Grand Unification of the Four Universal Field Forces...and then, that everything is controlled by electromagnetic force, and then, that Jesus Christ is teaching us righteousness, as it pertains to those EM forces. Via this route I have reached the arthritic sternum and beyond and I suggest we all seek Jesus Christ's accurate word, righteously...and before Wormwood.

@@trevorbates9017 Thank you for your comment. Mumbo Jumbo is a type of Word Salad, not available in leading supermarkets

_No atheists in foxholes_ ...not that it's correct, but if it were, it would mean only religions want war and to kill other people

I feel like you didn't share the more nuanced version of your post given the existence of those things in the old testament with fulfilling and not abolishing the law in the new. Otherwise at first glance it appears to present an overly simplistic dichotomy.

Christ says that He came not to repudiate the Mosaic Law but to fulfill it by keeping it perfectly. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” He condemns “traditions of men” and the Pharisees’ neglect of the weightier matters of the Law in favor of lesser matters. People who think Jesus was some kind of anti-authority radical haven’t studied Scripture.

You can be saved from the hounds of hell. Read the book of The Heavenly Man. Br Yun. It will give you much to consider seriously.

It's just a respectful way to go about life. Nothing more

Your simpleton explanation is hilarious 🤣

mankind makes religions. God made mankind. look at the absolute order in the world, down to quarks, up to galactic clusters. the order starts at 12 to 16 different types of quarks. each beast in the particle zoo, each force, is defined, the same across 40 billion light years. yup. infinitely undifferentiated energy became those unique things. rules do not arise from chaos. order only arises from order. what was the order before the Big Bang? yet, only an absolutely Brilliant Mind could make a universe where you can be brilliant, but perfectly free to be an atheist. Check out, (i think this is the one) The Big Conversation: "What if God Could Be Proven To Exist" you will never, as a smug adult, have the trusting worldview of an one-eyed child. Einstein's statement: there is but one life- defining question: can you trust Life/Reality/the Universe/God to "have your back?" Or is there nothing there?

open-eyed child

Yahweh is an adaption of El, taken by the early Jews from the polytheistic Caananite pantheon. The Jews created this god as they'd been pushed around by other tribes, like the Babylonians, Egyptians and Persians. They invented a god which conferred special rights on them as a chosen people to justify killing other tribes and taking their land. They were likely jealous that these other tribes had big empires, and they didn't Later, the Greco-Romans arrived on the scene and found the Jews a tough bunch to subdue. So they created the Jeesus character to appeal to the Jews to be pacifist and let the Romans screw them silly Religion exists for a reason

​@@zhengfuukusheng9238😂 sounds like a lot of horse crap to me.

Katie Lisle - beautifully expressed and true!

Perhaps he examined the problems inherent with atheism and found it lacking. I know I find atheism quite lacking and hollow. BTW a good reason to believe Christianity is because it's really true. Not sure what you believe to be problems with it.

Yeah, I heard about a guy who was a Buddhist monk in North India, then a catholic and then converted to Islam. It seems sometimes people always need to find the next thing and that will be the truth.

When Christ pursues you, it is never jumping to the next thing. it is finding the Being who is in the Light.

@@glenliesegang8935 the guy I saw converted from Christianity to Islam.....

Yes, and hopefully stop on Advaita Vedanta (nondual Hinduism). It's beautiful.

LOL 😆

Seriously, there is literally zero chance that this guy does not end up as a muslim.

Being emotionally needy sounds like an insult but it’s the truth for us all. We need love . There is no greater love than the sacrificial love of Jesus. Is the resurrection true? Is the world created or is there some other explanation for it’s existence?

You claim knowledge of reality, but all the up quarks, down quarks and electrons you are made of are really created by quantum fields, about which most of us know little, and none of us know completely. One of the biggest lies told in our school and university system makes you think everything is explained by atoms, and nothing funky is going on. Sorry to say, but your conception of reality is brutally flawed.

@@jamescooke5063 Nobody said we know everything, but we have come an enormous way. Everything we know makes the positing of a Divinity unnecessary.

@@larryluch8178 Do you want answers, or emotionally comforting pap? Because we know the answers. It is enormously improbable that a dead person ever rose. There is no evident sufficient to even raise a doubt.

@@davethebrahman9870 LOL 😆 it's called a miracle: miracles aren't normal events : your denial isn't any proof that God doesn't exist or the Resurrection didn't happen : All the Jews had to do was produce Jesus body and just like all the other Jewish Messiah groups this group would have died out Too.

Who was Deitrich Bonhoeffer?

One day every single person that has ever lived will find out that the Bible is not a fairytale. Mock it, cast it out, revolt against it, it doesn't change the reality of Jesus and what He accomplished and is coming back to finish.

@@edge4192 If there realy is a sky daddy how can you know you have the right one ? Why a human sacrifice or a warleader is the way to be moral ? Muslims are as much convinced as you are of thr impossible life after death. So is every member of the rest of the religions.

@@edge4192 Nope, we evolved to be able to make up Gods to explain the unknown. Now in the 21st century myth is being replaced by science. And the trend will continue as it has done since Darwin's day.

@@johnhammond6423 John search for science Uprising on KZfaq. Watch the entire Playlist. Are you positive you aren't being deceived. Don't believe what your told do your due diligence.

@@alexstramp7688 _' Are you positive you aren't being deceived'_ Are you? _'Don't believe what your told'_ That depends on who is telling me and if what they are telling me lines up with the evidence presented. For example, almost every scientist on the planet now accepts evolution as a fact and also explains to the layman [me] why they came to that conclusion. Now compere that with the creationists that have no good evidence for any Adam and Eve other than a story in an old religious book thousands of years old. I have not time for the videos in your link my friend. Or Michael Egnor or the discovery institute. The Discovery Institute promotes the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design and is ignored by almost all of the real scientists. Even the few scientist in the Discovery Institute are making claims outside of their scientific expertise.
