There are literally thousands of religions, each making this unverifiable claim that "their god" is the one true god. All can not be correct. That would be ludicrous. They ALL have their bible equivalent scriptures and texts. If one were born in, say the US, most likely, they would be a Christian. If one was born in Thailand, they would most likely be Buddhist. If one were born in Pakistan, most likely be a Muslim. If one were born in India, most likely, they would be a Hindu. All religions make the same basic claims, all cant be the ONE TRUE RELIGION!! So reason, logic, and basic common sense say that they are ALL LYING.. What kind of moral god requires faith instead of actual evidence of its existence? Ask yourself why, ALL gods/religions require faith without truth? Faith is useless if it is truth that you seek. Books are not evidence of a god period.........

It's strange that I agree with almost everything Elizabeth Oldfield starting at 5:00 but then comes to a completely different conclusion. I've had different times in the past, I'm in a difficult time right now but accepting a faith that I know to be a lie and joining a group of adherents that (maybe not most but certainly the most vocal) are actively hurting people that I love is something that feels bizarre to me. Christians believe that the Bible is true, Non-Christians don't believe that the Bible is true. None of us can choose what to believe.

"What Fills the Gaps That Intellect Alone Cannot?" Either faith, or honest ignorance. The only honest answer you can give when you can't show the truth of something is, "I don't know." The overwhelming majority of religious believers are that way because they were indoctrinated into it from a young age. It is no more honest to "take a leap of faith" to believe in Yahweh than it is to do the same to believe in Brahma, Mahesh, and Vishnu. There is as far as I have ever seen no interplay between epistemology and religious faith. I've never heard an argument for a deity that was not built on fallacies. They make arguments from ignorance, personal incredulity, they engage in special pleading, they attempt to reverse the burden of proof, they make unwarranted assumptions, false dichotomies, straw positions of their interlocutors, question begging... And it nearly always conveniently works out that the "correct" answer is the religion you were raised to believe, or the one that had the greatest cultural presence in the area of your upbringing.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, it’s a little hard to explain how this is both right and wrong. The Book of Mormon has Christ’s teachings where he also tells them “I and the Father are one,” which is later explained to be one in purpose “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” With further context provided to Jesus’ explanation of how He and the Father are “one,” we believe that Christ is the God of the Old Testament, which would help explain the confusion on how He and the Father could be one. Hope this helps! Not bashing, just like to clarify on the truth!

No bashing perceived! Thanks for contributing to the conversation. I'd posit that Muslims, also, have their own text that has things to say about Jesus and that clarifies why He is not actually one with the Father in a literal sense. They, similarly, are not Christian. I'm not saying Mormons aren't entitled to whatever beliefs they might have (although as a Christian myself, of course I'd love for people of any religious backgrounds to come to an understanding of Jesus as God), but I think it's important to clarify why Mormon belief is a distinctly different religion from Christianity rather than merely another denomination within it.

Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Like the OP said, stop calling yourselves Christians. You are a cult and an embarrassing one at that. If Jesus the Christ of Nazareth came here to Earth to "be provided with a body", then why is He the Spirit of God dwelling in us? Are you that naive and delusional that you think Joseph Smith was genuine despite the numerous red flags and inconsistencies within your theology and doctrine? Go and learn from the real elders of the Church, speak to real scholars about the clear evidence JS was a fraud, and repent for the audacity of thinking you are righteous by attending a temple that has masonry and occult written all over it!

Of the white people who were lynched, it was typically because they attempted to provide aid to lynch victims or resisted lynching mobs. That said, there's also a vast difference between public murder being celebrated and embraced by a publicly present populace (with postcards displaying lynchings even having been made and sold) and murders happening on an individual scale. One is societal, the other is individual.

Without a doubt your misrepresenting Charlie Kirk if you think he wants to go back to Jim Crow laws or the KKK both democratic platforms which he adamantly opposes. 1950s the family unit meet any race was in much better shape than it is now. Being a political group of course is going to be involved in laws but he's more interested in get rid of useless laws than expanding laws. If you look at the two parties that he's discussing and you look at history which one has diverted the most by far. It just seems that either you happen to agree with what he says or your adamantly against it as opposed to looking at it from his point of view and your point of view. I think if you look at it from a standpoint of where he's trying to come from what he's trying to accomplish you might have a better understanding of what Charlie is trying to accomplish. Keep watching different things that Charlie does turning point USA there's a lot out there. I'm not a turning point member or anything I've just think he's done very well I don't see him as being in a fight of mode I think only one time I've ever seen him really in a fighting argument mindset and everything else he's been pretty well established. Even to the point that he says it's not him that's keeping him but his faith.

So Romans 1 does appear to equally address the question specific to female same-sex relations. Male-on-male relations are just much more commonly referred to in ancient record, both in regards to various cultures' prohibitions/disdain for the practice and in other cultures' acceptance/prevalence of the practice. This makes sense when you consider the societal focus on men in the ancient world. We just have a lot more written and recorded about male-specific life. All sins are equal in the sense that they are all wrong and miss the mark of God's intent for us. They are not all equal in terms of tangible consequence. But all sin falls short of God's ideal for us and will be absent in the future joined Kingdom of Heaven and Earth. The Christian life won't be perfect on this earth, but it should be marked by Christ's lordship as a true north of sorts. Intentionally persisting in any sin is a serious red flag for the reality (or absence) of Christ in one's life. I hope that all helps clarify. 🙃

Donald Trump and Joe Biden, for instance, are characters playing a part & furthermore they both knowingly serve satan. I am reading between the lines in order to come to these conclusions but the real evidence is plentiful. The inside of Trumps Apt speaks volumes but it really more about the Spirit in which they act

Can you extrapolate further on this? Specifics not general opinion, I'm just curious. Also, does the history of either come into account in this equation because they are not the same, historically or in substantive policy (which can apply heavily on Joe over Trump just from a time in position standpoint).

Because this is the time when all eyes are on the topic. It's an especially relevant conversation point for faith right now. Also, much of the Church speaks up especially loud and brashly on the topic at this time and I think it's important to correct some of the things said from that side. Lastly, there are a lot of Christians who are attracted to the same sex who are looking for Christian voices who actually care and who desire to provide helpful guidance. They're hearing unhelpful stuff from much of the Church, along with a lot of lies from outside of it. My hope is that this video reaches them and helps provide loving clarity and care for them at this time.

No. At the time that christianity stemmed from judaeism, althought the romans were generally accepting of new religions and often integrated them into roman society and beliefs, they were not trusting of cults ir cult-like religions. (christianity started as a small cult) this caused rome to persecute christians when they attempted to rise to more power and relevance.

Think it’s easy to forget that the spiritual realm is more real than the natural one, if it’s not God, it’s not good. This goes for all empires of the world that did not hold Him above all else. That includes governments of today.

This isn't accurate. Look at Pliny the Younger's letter to Emperor Trajan in which he asked for guidance on how to handle Christians in his province of Bithynia-Pontus. In his letter, Pliny described his procedure of interrogating and punishing Christians who refused to renounce their faith. Emperor Trajan's response advised Pliny not to actively seek out Christians, but to punish them if they were openly practicing their faith and refused to recant. This correspondence is one of the earliest known references to Christianity in Roman official documents and provides valuable insight into the Roman Empire's initial approach to dealing with the growing Christian population. Reasons for punishment of Christians given by Pliny is that they refused to recant and worship the roman Gods and make a libation to the emperor's image. He specifically writes of Christians who refused to recant, "...those who persisted I ordered executed. For I had no doubt that, whatever the nature of their creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy surely deserve to be punished." The reason for Roman persecution of Christians in large part was due to their unique refusal to pay the respect to the Roman gods and the Emperor because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

1:24 Not even a minute and a half before the heresy! This is why I don't join Church. Filled with heretics that mean well, but don't consider the implications of their words. No. It is an abomination to be gay and a pedophile. Really there is no difference between the two, just a question of it they have victimized someone. We deserve what we tolerate, and I've dealt with enough of these gender people to know they are genuinely not to be associated with. Not because they are sinners, not for being unrepentant, but because their lifestyle will slowly drag you down to their level. Because its not just about their bedroom activity, the whole gender thing comes with a mountain of ideological and spiritual baggage. And look at these people. *It clearly harms all of them. The only negotiation is to what degree were these people harmed.* Fact is fortification is not what the bible commands of married people, and God's design is for man and his wife. No other arrangement is codified by biblical law. I don't feel bothered by the gays. I just feel disgusted, alienated, and disappointed with their poor life choices. Their choices are not personal. None of us are individuals, in the sense that no man is an island. We all have collective responsibility to our communities, to a degree. And the experiment is completed! We found out what unyoking women from husbands does, what happens when biblical law is subsumed by contract marriage re the State, and what happens when we tolerate gender people. *GAY MEN ARE PURCHASING BABIES FROM WOMEN. THIS IS JUST HAPPENING. AS A CHRISTIAN HOW CAN YOU SUFFER THIS ABOMINATION OF GOD'S DESIGN?* They pay women to have their baby and rip it still bloody and covered in viscera from Mom's arms. *HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE HOW WRONG AND GENUINELY EVIL THIS IS?!* I am a 32 year old man. I turned my back on the Church as they are blasphemers and heretics, they do not even attempt to uphold the creeds Jesus himself gifted to us. They want to pick and choose like its a buffet. That's bullshit man. Christianity is hard, and it demands adherence to the underlying mystery tradition that many good Christians are unworthy/incapable of discovering. *The Tree of Life is not a toy, and God created it only for one man and one woman. For spiritual reasons as well as PRACTICAL reasons. Every child deserves their mother and father, there is no putting the kid back after the fact.* That is the burden of our responsibility as men and women. How dare you suggest anything to the contrary? Dude have you not seen the women leading Church services? Have you not seen the open sex acts done by homosexual church leadership *in mass?* Jesus is weeping at our weakness! He told us we have defined roles, and we are made for different purposes. I am sorry brother, but you need to rethink your ideas. I do not need to see any more.

A note about the choice of the word alienation. They chose to be as garish and nonconformist as possible. It is the responsibility of the individual to accommodate themselves to the culture and the world they live in. Not the other way around. So when someone makes themselves repulsive, and does everything they can to behave in as unpleasant a way as possible. Its not hateful nor fearful to avoid them. It just makes good sense. The emotional and mental baggage of these people is genuinely toxic, as overused as that word once was. I know Christians don't really advocate using the secret powers, but surely some of you know that these sorts of things don't exist in a vacuum. Its like a fucking gas, you can't see it, can't smell it, but by their fruits they will be known. Our world is full of sin and Jesus is not coming any time soon to save the world... If anything he only arrives upon our death to save us then. Maybe that's what the apocalypse is supposed to be?

@jannguerrero the church held hands with the guns and those that weilded the power, it was just as complicit as the state powers in its intentional destruction of anything that wasn't it, it all but destroyed a 65,000 year old spirituality and culture in my country, the guns did their bit and the religion came in after and intentionally destroyed language , connection to country, kinship bonds, it was pure evil.

Yet in the present day we rightly judge the evils done in the name of Christ historically by the very teachings and instruction of Christ and the Apostles (e.g. actual Christianity) that so much of society is saturated with today. That's the point.

Cry more atheist. This world owes everything to Christian chauvinism. That you speak English, atheist, is a constant subconscious reminder that Jesus is the way. Without Christianity there would not be many of the wonderful things you take delight in. Particularly your Internet access or even the computer to host it! I remember I used to be like you. Because I was lied to so much. It took a long time, but I realized that Christians are right. They are the real Israelites! Christians are persecuted the world over, to an extreme no other group is, for seemingly no particular reason. Brother, you are no fool. Stop ignoring the patterns you are seeing.
