Frank Joseph Daniels got a job is miracle?? I got two jobs.

Allington Marakan everyone who have a job is a miracle? That’s a true Christian.

Allington Marakan I don’t believe Jesus crap. Do you?

Allington Marakan I met a guy claims to be a Christian from egypt and asked him how old is pyramids. He said 7000 yrs. I told him your god created earth 6000 yrs ago. The numbers don’t add up. Then he says that is not important. How can you not believe in god. Christian once they fall into it nothing matters. Every place on earth like Grand Canyon claims they are millions of yrs old. Christians were taught in church everything is a lie. He says Bible is correct.i give up. Wasting my time

Do you have any questions about the Bible that you would like me to answer?

Jesus is the Way, Truth, Life. Please read the Bible and pray that the Lord will guide you.

Brother Jason..because Jesus is alive and real...he loves you, he died for you..accept him in your heart as your lord and saviour and love him back! Jesus loves you! Good luck and God bless! 💙

Japanese only need to realize that Japanese buddhism offers a million times more wisdom than your doctrine, which basically just revolves around praising a guy in the sky cus he's strong. Dont try to corrupt Japan with your servile, arrogant desert cult when they have traditional beliefs that are vastly superior.

Actually Christianity is not a religion at all. It is a relationship just with Christ alone, if you look into religion you'll find that Catholics - Mormons - Baptist - Jehovah's Witnesses - Presbyterians - Lutheran's and many other denominations are religious fanatics that don't hold the gospels at the same level as Christ commands us to do. Picking up the cross and following Christ will separate you from all false ideologies and doctrines that come in the name of Christianity. Only one who is born again can understand this.

That IS the religion

@@flatmoonsociety9933 Epic take bro did you know it was religion that gave you those gospels? If you say "yeah but God..." No, God used the Hebrew faith to codify his testament and then entrusted the safekeeping of the Word to gentiles through the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church is entirely the reason you have your bible.

Christianity killed more than shogun japanese. Only true

Hallelujah

Respect from an Indonesian🗿👍✝️

have you read the bible? do you know world history? Christians being persecuted is a mute point since that is literally all their religions have ever done.

sarttee blaming the religion for the actions of some of its wayward followers is pretty stupid. There are a great many bad "christians", yes, but not all of them or even a majority, it has largely been leadership of nations and the church. But if those individuals, and outsiders, understood the bible, and the fact that the only reason the old testament is included is to illustrate how God changed his approach to dealing with us, and really look at what Jesus taught and go by that alone when dealing with how to approach life, there is zero room for argument that Christianity in its untwisted form, is about forgiveness, love, and making a concerted effort every day to try and be a better person and be kind to your fellow man. Most christians fail to remember that judging others is God's right, and his alone, because none of us are perfect. The only one who was sacrificed himself to show us a better way. You don't even have to believe Christ was a real person, or that he was truly divine, or that there even is a god, to believe that his message of love, forgiveness, and not judging others is a noble one.

18 June 1452: Pope Nicholas V issues Dum Diversas, a bull authorising the Portuguese to reduce any non-Christians to the status of slaves.

sarttee , that is not the point here. you changed the subject and did not understood, what he was actually saying.

@monika i didnt change the subject, your can keep believing in lies. You are all slaves. You use the name Jesus Christ. When your own book says his name was supposed to be EMANUEL. You use a fake name. You don't about the bible contradictions, you don't care about the truth, you regurgitate the same garbage over and over and over. You like all the other religious fools always say something like " you can't blame the religion for the way people act " WHEN YOUR RELIGION TELLS YOU TO KILL, RAPE, MURDER and these are COMMANDMENTS. Its the religions fault.

That means they are just liars, con-men, and irreligious people. Everyone with a rational brain would know even though they admit that they are religious, if they do bad things, then they are not religious, since religions teach how to act on a good conduct in life. They are just your usual liars, don't call them people that come from Christianity or other religions.

There are many kinds of Religion. As far as I know, if you're talking about rules in Christianity, then you're wrong. You should read again. At least for me, Christianity is what makes me move on from feeling like the most useless person in the world, to feeling like the person who can make anything possible.

You are wrong. That is *not* Christianity. You had the wrong knowledge in the first place. If you did have the right one, then I would've thought the same way. But I do not. You yourself think you're right with all your whatsoever knowledge. You don't know anything about Christianity. You have no place to say Christianity is in equal footing to devil worship and witchcraft. *It's you yourself who has been brainwashed by the evil itself to acknowledge that Christianity is evil* You, yourself, has been *fooled*. Furthermore, you are wrong about the "once saved, forever saved". The statement is right. There is no mistake about it. It's just you that didn't get the right mind to comprehend what that statement means. It's because you have been fooled by a mere stereotyped paradigm. "Once saved, forever saved" means if the person is saved by God, then he *IS* saved by God. There is no mistake about this. But if the person thinks he's already *saved* by God and thinks he's allowed to do evil, then obviously, like what everyone with a rational brain would know, *he is not saved* in the first place.

Still wrong. You have no proof.

"Religion turns people into mindless zombies" They said as they circle jerked each other.

That’s so beautiful would love to see that

finally a defender of Christianity! Finally somebody that does not believe all the lies about the crusades

looks like somebody is open for kind discussion....

“Communism begins where atheism begins...”-Karl Marx "A Marxist must be a materialist, i. e., an enemy of religion, but a dialectical materialist, i. e., one who treats the struggle against religion not in an abstract way, not on the basis of remote, purely theoretical, never varying preaching, but in a concrete way, on the basis of the class struggle which is going on in practice and is educating the masses more and better than anything else could."-Vladimir Lenin "The purpose of the National Socialism fight against Christianity is the same: the total destruction of the last and most deep-rooted support of the forces of conservation. The destruction of the spirit of Christianity in Germany is certainly more far-reaching than appears on the surface...Such vestiges of living Christianity as remain are steadily degenerating in the direction of a superficial and unthinking deism" and that ultimate goal as "...the total abolition of Christianity, which is not a mere philosophical fad of the National Socialists but an iron necessity of their system."-Hermann Rauschning, The Revolution of Nihilism: Warning to the West, [Published 1938] "The Ethic of the German Religion condemns all belief in inherited sin, as well as the Jewish-Christian teaching of a fallen world. Such a teaching is not only non-Germanic and non-German, it is immoral and nonreligious. Whoever preaches this menaces the morality of the people."-The Twenty-Five Theses of the German Religion, Thesis XV "The Jews are not our enemies because of their race, but because one of their subtlest rabbis, that man called Saint Paul, distilled the poison of the Christ myth out of the life of the story of Jesus of Nazareth. The Jews are enemies of the Nordic race because they produced Christianity, which has been the poison that has destroyed the vitality of the Aryan people." -Erich Ludendorff “The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity. Bolshevism practices a lie of the same nature, when it claims to bring liberty to men, whereas in reality it seeks only to enslave them. In the ancient world, the relations between men and gods were founded on an instinctive respect. It was a world enlightened by the idea of tolerance. Christianity was the first creed in the world to exterminate its adversaries in the name of love. Its key-note is intolerance.”--Adolf Hitler "The question of the divinity of Christ is ridiculous and inessential. A new answer has arisen as to what Christ and Christianity are: Adolph Hitler." --Hanns Kerrl, Minister of Religion in the Third Reich [1937] Ten minutes of reading and you will find that as soon as Hitler and the Nazi party took power the began persecuting the Catholic church and continued to do so until the end of the war. Another very brief reading session and you will discover that communism is inherently anti religion. The Chinese and the North Korea also use starvation as a method of mass genocide, because you know - it tends to look kind of bad when you shove 'em in a furnace... One who promotes false doctrine cannot claim to be of the same faith. This is very simple. Have a nice day. : )

Allington Marakan and you think arguing on the internet will change anything? oh please. if you are serious, do something more substantial like force your local church to close

curious: how many theists have you converted to atheism with your...style?

@Allington Marakan Like what? Like what did I say that made no sense? Go ahead I'm waiting...

Allington Marakan The man said nothing even slightly inflammatory only that he had Christian family in Japan. However, you with your insecurities, inadequicies and faithlesness had to jump out and make some sort of pointless comment

@Den Di Do you mind giving me a definition on Fake Jesus? Do you mean Borgia son of the 6th pope then no... but Jesus Christ Yeshua Lord God Almighty who conquered Death Hell and the Grave and who Have the keys of Life and death and ext then Yes but please define more of what do you mean by fake jesus and is your Jesus similar to the Jesus I see in scripture... (preferably KJV)

@Allington Marakan Well about time you responded... even doe it wasn't towards my comment but I was in there some how.. so question.. is everything you just said is the absolute truth?

@Den Di Not exactly sure what you mean.

Eli : Who is Jesus?!

In this day and age, less you hear about them, then the better the situation. I think.

Actually, Jesus' existence can be verified by numerous credible sources from his time. Don't just take my word for it. I was surprised to see this video. Well done Nobita. America was founded on Christian values, so I suppose many Americans would say that they are Christians, as they think this is the right thing to say when asked. However, the number of actual Christians has been decreasing over the years. I would like to see a video of an actual Christian church service in Japan. It would be interesting to see the difference between a western service and a Japanese one!

Allington Marakan man you are so wrong. That has been proven false so many times. If you actually do research on the first century you'll find that Jesus was an actual historical figure.

Not likely. Americans take it because they like the super natural things that Christianity offers.

Especially since Christians are being persecuted left and right there

Was relatively good for Christians and Muslims alike in Palestine and Lebanon until it got Jewed.

@@PajamaJazama they, like any nation, are in need of God.

The Halberdier keep it up brother, we need steady minds in academia, that’s for sure. I’ll keep you in my prayers. As a prodigal son, I’ll tell you the grass on the other side is actually poison ivy.

Walking the straight and narrow is not an easy choice but it is the most fulfilling choice I've ever made! Being a Christian in American college is hard. I was mocked by many including a few teachers. That really hurt me, but I knew that my faith in Jesus was more important then other people's opinions. So I got on my knees and asked God to take any fear or shame out of my heart. Now I'm completely unafraid and unashamed to tell the world about my King, Jesus! Some will mock us and treat us poorly but we'll still love them and proclaim our faith in the Lord!

Hold on to you beliefs even if everyone else thinks it's stupid or that your crazy or brainwashed. Because even if you conformed to them you wouldn't truly be happy because it isn't what you believe or who you want to become. And anyway they'll just find something else to complain about if you do conform. So reach out and pray and get out your comfort zone a bit and you'll meet likeminded people that will help you grow in the way you desire to grow in Christ.

As someone in a similar position, I can tell you it's refreshing when you find other Christian students on campus. There will usually be some kind of organization where Christian students can study the Bible together, pray together, etc. Having such a group will keep you on the right track in spite of the temptations we endure on a college campus. I did some pretty regrettable stuff in college and I wish I joined such groups earlier, I didn't join any until my senior year. Joining these groups makes you feel like you're not alone when upholding Christianity, and I highly recommend it to any college students with good values.

@Olivia Jr it's tough to stay true to your faith when surrounded by people who act on different principles

Allington Marakan Hello you bring up a good point. Although I disagree with you that prayer is worthless, as I believe there is a power in prayer we may not even yet fully understand. You however are on target about people needing to get up off their arse and do something. We are told “Faith without Works is dead”. James 2: 14-26 Thank you friend for bringing that to mind. Peace

Is trash talking every single Christian in this comment section making you feel better ? Because I find this pretty sad. Why can't you let people do what makes them feel good ? You ever heard about free will ? As far as I'm concerned praying doesn't hurt. Life is short, don't just waste it spitting on somebody just because he believes in something that you don't ! Peace !

Allington Marakan Yes you are right the counterfeit religion created as a way to destroy Christ’s true message has been a powerful evil force! If you read the history of that church it is chillingly. False church. False teaches. Did (still doing?) great, tremendous harm today. In fact many believe it is the false religion of the antichrist system to come that will rise up to its former power and evil. Watch out

Oh and as far as prayer, it is not necessary my assertion but personal testimony to that fact. As well as even secular observation. In the news today currently. It does help and secular people are talking about it trying to figure out why. Read up on it. Surprised you haven’t undergroundhealthreporter.com/effects-of-prayer-can-lead-to-healing/

Allington Marakan You’d have to read the Bible to find out what his message was. Clearly you have made up your mind completely and have shut and locked the door. I don’t see at this time I’d be able to pry it open. Nor should I You have every right to your own thoughts and decisions. I wish you all good, love and peace

Nobita of Japan is doing great. He is a #1 kind of investigative journalist, I really appreciate his ethics and recommend him to review Amnesty International principles of human rights with the rule of law. Not only for one religion that could be bias and not a political cause of any party member of Japan under the Japanese Constitution.

Jehovah’ witnesses and Mormons give Christians a bad name…

Frfr, I be reading a lot of comments that say Christians be trying to make everyone follow what they believe and mess. But in my bible I remember God giving us a choice to choose him or the world, and I remember that the choice was Jesus. Also thxs for sharing that comparison, I hope you don't mind me using this one😉😆

And Christians also piss on and threaten atheists, other faiths or anything that doesn't conform the their pinched view of existence. Christians themselves have long and significant history of persecuting others including the forced conversion of indigenous peoples, persecution, violence, torture, slavery, burning and killing of other Christians, atheists, Jews, etc.

It is only because they are self centered, arrogance at its finest, anyway there is a psychology of "misery craves company"this is why you are sharing your belief without consideration. What is the introduction of religious people? Scaring people that they will go to hell if they will not believe, sounds dictatorship.

There is no goodness about Christianity and Islam. Both are maniac religions bent on destroying all the local world cultures just because a foolish book says so.

Save the preaching for the choir, I always say. A good Christian is not a loud teacher, but a silent witness.

Weird it may seem I find his attitude both very Christian and very Japanese, both in a good sense.

Beacon of Knowledge It’s not right for you to say that there is no goodness in Christianity without truly hearing the gospel from the right person. Maybe you’ve had bad experiences with some Christians but I do pray that you meet someone who shows you what Christianity is all about; Living like Jesus did and loving all those around us. Still I do hope you respect people of all religions and their beliefs

John Ziemba I'm Brazilian, and I appreciate it very much. Honoured to see someone is interested on the Church.

John Ziemba I'm really curious on what the Church is like in Japan. I'm Filipino and I've met a number of Japanese Jesuits here though haven't gotten far enough to actually have deep convos in religion. I also did some ESL before and had schoolgirls from a Catholic school in Hokkaido as students, although none of them so far were Christians.

Let's hope Nobita provides more videos. I lived in a rather small city, but the church was larger than described in this video--probably 200 people at mass on say, Easter Sunday. I would say the majority of Catholics there seem to be similar to cradle Catholics in other countries--lukewarm at best. Many Japanese seem to take a dim view of any kind of Christianity. Not fearful suspicion, as with Islam, but a mild contempt--"Yeah, we know you're just a bunch of hypocritical killjoys!" Of course, on the whole, they're not completely wrong. I wish I could say I gave them more reason to think better of us, especially us Catholics.

That's really sad, I wish here in Brazil it was better, thou it isn't. I am really disappointed with the clergy, because we Catholics have a very poor religious foundation, but I think we laymen should take the responsibility of converting profoundly our family and community. I am thinking about entering the seminary, but if that is not my vocation I'll try to became a catechist and I'll do my best to make our youth be faithful and well formed on the knowledge of the tradition. Wish our generation change that situation. May God bless you, and the holy Virgen intercede for you.

Paulo Ícaro I could say the same thing about the situation here in the Philippines. Even as a Catholic school product (and note Catholic education here sucks big time), I went Protestant for a while before I thankfully found a parish that led me straight and where Catechesis happens regularly. I make it a point to learn and review core theology just so I too could go out and teach the Faith. I've been thinking of joining the Jesuits for a while although I'm not too sure now if I could function best as a cleric or religious. But either way, I'd really love to educate folks on the Faith, especially in times like these when so-called Christian fundies are on the rise. God bless you always and may Our Lady of Guadalupe intercede

Did you ever end up going? I want to go there too.....

Same here!

me too :D

@david Paul Hi David, you telling me to stay just motivates me more, thank you man. 😁😁 Jesus loves you.

@david Paul I will always believe and have faith in the God who created the earth and loves me. He loves you too, just know that he is there when giu need him.

KrayolaBlue91 That is the wrong mindset. Christianity is not about accepting Jesus as your "Lord and Saviour". When you are baptized the priest asks you if you accept God in your life, that means the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit; the Holy Trinty that forms God. You agree that you might have done wrong in your life and you want to make amends, seek forgiveness and become a better person. If you die you aren't coming back, your soul is judged and passes in either sides; Heaven or Hell. Each life, soul, is unique in its own way. Coming back is an Indian belief, reincarnation; the cycle of life and death works in nature but it doesn't apply to the human soul. It was drawn from the fact that Jesus came back after He died and was sealed in a tomb. It wasn't reincarnation, it was ressurection, a rare miracle and not something that always happen. There are sects that call themselves "True Christians" or the like where the improvise prayers and spread lies. There's a difference in living in a coutry that's Christian and a country that has mixed faiths.

Allington Marakan You have to understand that Christianity, the power and teachings of God are based on love. God loves people too much to simply kill someone and holds on the chance that he will change no matter how blackened his/her heart is; but his patience isn't infinite so at some point He will punish that person in other ways that aren't always direct. You also have to remember the Unending War, the fight between Heaven and Hell. Attrocities, crimes, rapes, those acts are done by people because we as a people are too divided. It's not an evil that exists in us because God put it there, it's a weakness in our being that is exploited by the devil. The devil turns you worldly, so you become addicted, hateful, spiteful, you lust for things because they make you feel good in so many ways. Christianity helps you temper those things, it helps you defeat these phisical urges through faith and restraint. You don't have to whip yourself or mutilate your body to "prove your faith" or to prevent you from doing something wrong. When you are born you don't come in the world with a promisse from God saying "you will have ritches beyond measure and everything you'll ever wish for is yours". You live, you are trialed to see if you are kind or cruel, giving or greedy, patient or impatient. Each day holds a trial and they shape you slowly. So of course someone that's worldly would blame God or vent his/her anger saying that its "all God's fault this is happeneing". God doesn't shove you on top of a woman to rape her, and He doesn't tell you to wage war in His name because it's time for a purge. Even if you personally chose not to believe then that's alright, no one will blugedon you or judge you.

KrayolaBlue91 To answer your question no I'm not a priest nor Catholic. Reformed Christianity is a very large "sect" that says it somehow aligns itself with several churches in order to attract followers. You also have to understand that the versions of scriptures differ between religions, such as interpretations and even their version of the Bible. The Catholic church did most of the "smearing" since it was the first to speak againts other churches and became more political over the years. What you said in the beggining of your reply is also incorrect, what I've been taught is a wholy different lesson. "There is only one God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." that is what we are taught and not what you said. When we pray we ask for forgiveness and the strength to pass our trials in our daily lives. We pray for those that are far from home, lost and those forgotten. I've also mentioned reincarnation since you said coming back after death, so I assumed you were talking about either reincarnation (which is realy popular with many people of various beliefs) or ressurection.

Allington Marakan Having no evidence is the core of believing and having faith. "How can you claim that your faith is strong and true if you are untested by doubt and others". There is anger in your words, a lot of it in fact. By our teachings you are a brother that has been broken by his life trials, your faith wasn't strong enough and you broke with no one to be by you. Even if you do not believe in a higher or God, it doesn't matter. It is a choice you have made and it is to be respected. But remember one last thing: "The greatest proof that God exists, is love."

PuraguCryostato I must contradict you that Christians don't have a "Pope". The term "Pope" is exclusive to the head of the Catholic church. The correct title for a Christian version of a "Pope" is known as "Patriarh" (pronounced pae-tri-arch by english speakers). I won't deny that there are issues nor the existence of individuals with narrow sight and closed minds. They usually have a very cold behaviour (to say the least) when it comes to other people. But the teachings of God say: "Be welcomed in my home. For my door is always open." There is no scrutiny on skin color, race nor genders. It would be a violation of the Scripture and the teachings.

That’s very interesting and thank you for sharing

That interesting thanks for taking the time to share

Well, I know that it sounds wrong to "drag" your children to church, but God said for you to raise our children into godly men and women, as well as teach them in the way they should grow and go. I know that children these days need to go to church and get Jesus in their lives cause, smh, God only knows.😆

@@flummoxedcurmudgeon680 but forcing them will only get them to push the Lord away.

@@flummoxedcurmudgeon680 you can not force love. It takes commitment and care.

@@flummoxedcurmudgeon680 remembere this is their own personal journey with the Lord.

True lmao

autumn same here!

@Den Di You dont need to be baptized to become christian Edit: not in the catholic church.

Allington Marakan I know right. Who wants to have moral fiber. I make my own morality. I think pedophilia is ok because there is no god to tell me it’s not.

Allington Marakan I doubt you were able to tell but, that was sarcasm.

I highly recommend that you look into Eastern Orthodox Christianity

Same here

Same

Me too!

shalom elijah Bot

I am living in China now, and there are many christians here. Its amazing! :)

Jason boyz someone got bullied in school today

Your reaction tells a lot more about yourself than about me... why so much hate.... >.

Sweet Love he is jus angry child xd

DARK_L0RD_420 =X It just doesn’t feel good that there are so much anger in someone.

Delroy61 yes definitely!! I am a bit disappointed as well. Jesus’ work is the center of our faith and I want to hear how that plays out in their lives!!

Me, Too.

I have friends who are missionaries in Tokyo. They said that the Japanese culture teaches that you should not talk about deep, important things until you are in a very close relationship with someone for months or even years. So, if a Christian shares their faith too quickly, the impression to the Japanese is that your faith is not very important to you, because you spoke about it too quickly and openly.

Kim Guilliams hmm... very interesting. I knew Japanese culture is very private, and talking about feelings is hard even with close friends and such. That does make some roadblocks for sharing the gospel there, but I suppose there always are roadblocks. They just require prayer for wisdom and guidance.

Kim Guilliams I’m 3rd generation Japanese American and my brothers and I are still pretty reserved compared to everyone else here-it’s very ingrained in the culture, and so too in my family. If someone in an interview asked me about my personal religious inclinations, I’d be very uncomfortable. For one it’s just so personal, and second it’s very hard to explain something that deep in any satisfying way. Hell, my dad is as far as I can tell a faithful Catholic, but in contrast to my mom (who’s Irish descended) I really don’t know the details of his faith. I think the only really significant thing he told us was that after he saw a child being born (he’s a doctor), he couldn’t not believe in God (despite being raised Buddhist).

Allington Marakan There was nothing wrong with Jesus in himself. If the (in my mind people who had no business being in power) ordained emperor's of Rome and self righteous Kings and Queens didn't try to take over the world using Jesus name to do it for selfish gain, I'm pretty sure more of Japan would've been more than willing to accept Jesus at least as a noble guy in a wide spread fashion in that era. But bad people taint the image of anything no matter how good, and the Shogun did as he saw to be the best good to protect Japan and send the evil individuals in power a message, which sucks since they had innocent people suffer for no fault of their own.

NorthernHero099 amen man

will do a video about this subject.

That is exactly my prayer. I REALLY enjoyed the testimonies of these two young believers. But there is so much more to true Christianity than what they were able to address here. God bless you all.

Please don't, just respect our differences.

I do respect but I will still go ahead in doing a vid, you don't have to watch it.

Sounds like most of the other bullshit stories they tell......all these hard criminals that find god all these used to be atheists that find god......I can tell you about a time when I went to a church as an atheist and after going for some time they started telling people I was an ex-atheist ex-satanist and wanted me to tell stories about satanic sex rituals........my supposed conversion story that wasn't my story.....so when I wouldn't tell the story they would to others without my knowledge consent or approval....how awesome it was that people in town thought I killed people in sacrifices and shit.....thanks to christans and their ability to tell stories.....also if this moron came to America and met an atheist who helped him out do you think he woulda became christian?

Daniel Essex He said his travels in the U.S. were the prmpt for him to take it seriously. Then he red the bible and stuff. He was already an atheist, so if atheists helped him probably nothing would've changed.

Billy Murphy Ikr! I'm Bulgarian but for some reason the U.S. feels somehow close to me and I was like "Good job, U.S.A!" :D I know there's a lot happening in the country right now, but God absolutely loves the U.S. and still has many plans for you guys! Don't worry. Make sure to pray, to love people, and to see people more and more through God's eyes. He will lead you! :) No need to worry at all.

Yamada Taro But they both said they grew up in Japan? Do they have an accent or something?

D. Void what the fuck where are you getting this information from you sound like my dad who thinks we was kangz😂

try to learn Islam as well

+deeda kkThank you very much. Yes, you`re correct. Jews, Christians and Islams revere the same God but with different interpretations. If I understand correctly, Jesus is respected as a great prophet among Islam people. Many Japanese people misunderstand that Islam and Christians are antagonizing each other, but it`s not true. From Islam point of view, Japanese are far different from Islam than Chiristians. I think Japanese people need to learn Judeo-Christian and Islam cultures as well as English in order to globarize oursleves.

yes all Abrahamic religions are slimier to each other we worship the same god of course Jesus is considered to be a great prophet in Islam we believe in Jesus as prophet we don't believe he died in the cross we believe god took him to heaven and he will come back at the end of time . the who died in the cross was different person. anyways I think Japan is a great country with a great and rich culture I think it should be just the way it is no need for multiculturalism or anything

English is a Germanic Language with influences of Latin, French and Norse, but religiously yes, a lot of English and American people are Christians like the different sects of Protestantism(Baptists, Anglicans, Evangelicals, Adventists, Methodists, and others), Catholics, specially from immigrants from Italy in NY, Mexico in all US states and even some Brithish Catholics, and a few Orthodoxs, related to arab christian immigrants, greeks and russians/ukrainians immigrants, all of them with roots related to Jewism.

@@MrEjidorie Do you have any questions about Christianity that you would like answered? Do you yourself believe in a monotheistic God of some sort? Why do you think Japanese people have trouble understanding this?

Thank you for watching!

"If only the Heavens would be more assertive on helping mankind to know what is the truth and did not allow man created religions to form, as giving man the freedom of choice is a foolish decision and only resulted in what happening on Earth now." God had been kind to grant us freewill, but that freewill did wind up with what we have now, unfortunately.

Allington Marakan insulting comment again Allington

Allington Marakan A militant atheist. Ugh.

I thank you for responding to Bunny Hop, and I apologise for the delayed response, as I am currently keeping my distance from the comment section of Mr. Nobita's videos. If Nobita monitored the replies that appear on his videos more, I am certain there would be more mature discussions here and less bigots or rude people.

Allington Marakan You claim that your comment wasn't insulting, yet you call us delusional and superstitious fools. If you want to open up for a dialogue, then that's fine. However, to fling insults isn't a civil way of going about it.

weddings have nothing to do with Christians. Christians assimilated it, then added their fake belief systems to it.

Fra Goesh Nah, I'm just saying it's sad from my perspective, though it's ultimately their choice in the end.

sarttee, no, because it’s a Christian wedding.

Lots of Japanese don't really have beliefs. They marry in Christian Church, go to Shinto temple every new year and festival, also die and burn their dead body in pagoda in one life's person. It's hard to say they trust in which or none of them.

Jay M i am SGI member too. ;)

glenn araula Awesome! Nice to come across you over here.

Buddhism, of course, was inspired by God as well.

the stereotype mindset is present as frequently discussed in the video. the mangas u read relating to churches, nuns, and catholic stuff is not there because the manga artist thinks he wants to make the japanese audience familiar but it is because the manga artist wants to portray something exotic and fancy to the japanese viewer. you even see the common japanese stereotypical view at it in anime and manga. christianity is usually seen like dark scary black and white catholics with fancy looking gothic churches and sound like some sort of scary cult

Mmmm I see. Thank you for replying my doubt!

There are christian schools but students are not necessarily christian.

the problem were the JESUITS in the 16th century

Leh Backwards christianity for them is what greek mythology is for us

Don't force your love on me :D That would be gay. But to be honest. My brother believes in god, he doesn't go to the church, yet a Baptist priest is telling him that he is doing wrong, that he should go to the church, and at the same time he is telling him that God's logic is above human's logic which is... unlogical. Because then our logic is useless. That priest is saying as well that everything we do is planned by God, every good and bad things, is made by him, so where is the logic here? That is why I will disagree with any type of community.

Tell that to Baptist priests, they will argue with you. Because in the end, all communities will disagree with something. And that is why, I will never convert and I won't care much about your religions :D

To be honest, a name of "religion" doesn't matter to me. It's just created by people. I won't say that God is right. Logic is right. Because Logic is Logic. For me, there is nothing to believe in. But if you would insist, I could believe in porn and food. Because why not. I live every day as I want to live and I don't care if there is something or there is not. Usually, people believe in something when they have hard times and then something good happens, they say it's because of god. I won't say that :D I am just enjoying my life fully without caring if there is heaven, hell, whatever, if I will die, I will die, the end. Nothing more. I won't care when I will die. Simple :D So why would I need to have any religion?:D Just to believe that after... 80-90 years I will die and live somewhere else? It would be silly.

Yep. "Christian weddings" is a huge misnomer because most Japanese people actually refer to these types of wedding gown weddings as "western style" or something akin to that. Whenever I hear from Japanese peers who want to get married, they talk about what kind of dress they want to wear.

@@FukaRado And exactly do you gain from professing your disbeliefs to others? You trying to get more followers for your cult or something? What a loser

Allington Marakan I've been reading other comments you made to other people. I can tell your hostile to people and only insult. You lost credibility and any debate you wanted by insulting and you don't use reasoned logic because the data you use, claiming it proves there is no God only proves man is evil and not God. If you do comment I am sure it is to insult me more and ignore any reasonable discussion. All the comments I see from you on other posts only is to insult and cause arguments which is not helpful.

Jason boyz I've also read other comments you made to other people. I can tell your hostile as well to people and only insult.

Allington Marakan again lies. Typical response you made. You are spreading lies. Hitler and the Nazis were not Christians and even if some professed you know reading the Bible that murdering of innocent people is evil. They murdered innocent people like the Jews and that is not Jesus teachings. Just like Communism, Nazis eventually wanted religion gone. Everything they believed was based on humanism and socialism which is similar and leads to Communism which has killed more than all religions. This is well documented and college and universities have done research into it too. All evil comes from men, not God. Communism is supposed to be void of religion and other vices for a utopia state, it's based on Atheism and Agnostic but has killed more than all religions. Nazis come in a far second with Socialism. All created by man. You are on here spreading lies, making insults, and creating arguments for fun.

Ahh yes the old "but it wasn't _real_ socialism" keep telling yourself that mate, I'm sure it'll change history and make it true m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sN1dealnqLbRpqc.html
