I found this video as a top result of searching "apologetics." Since this is a subject of the video and this is a "top" comment I'd like to summarize a lot of the evidence for Christ's resurrection here if it's okay. *CHRIST RESURRECTION SOUND SUPPORT* The following logic boils down to that the specific details of Christianity made it virtually impossible for it to spread, yet it overwhelmed the west rapidly. This evidence is largely drawn from JP Holding's work and that of sources he cites. What it works out to is that the whole of the Christianized West actually is overwhelming evidence that Christ had to rise from the dead. (Don't confuse this for "popular = true"; you have to follow the specifics of this logic:)

> The gospels report details that if true would be public and require that Jesus really did die, and 1 Corinthians, a letter from Paul that even informed skeptics admit is genuine and early, says 500+ witnesses saw him alive. The relevance of these will be more obvious after you read further down this list. For now the point is that if these documents are early, it would have been easy to debunk these claims, and everybody involved had strong motive to test them and debunk if false, yet if these claims are true, they logically require resurrection (all other attempted copouts for 2000 years since have been debunked). So, skeptics have retreated to insisting the gospels are actually late works. The details below show some of why that doesn't work. > Jesus in the gospels also predicted accurately the fall of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD. This is another reason skeptics have to assume the gospels were late. > All early libraries put the same titles for the 4 gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). With documents where the author was unknown (kept that way by the author intentionally or otherwise) typically each library would make up its own title. > Ancients were also good at spotting documents that would use false names. This had been a practice by some well before the NT so they knew what to watch out for to catch it. Especially simply that it would make no sense that these men (Matthew and John as original members of the 12 top disciples, Luke and Mark as major figures in the Acts time) could have written documents without anybody knowing it. Late sudden works "by them" would have been rejected immediately. And most people couldn't read and ancient societies were socially collectivist which basically meant they were constantly all talking to each other (even those who could read). Modern individualism and relative social isolationism didn't develop until more modern tech made survival much easier so people had much more leisure time. Especially post-Industrial Revolution, and even more so in the last 30 or so years. Usually a wisdom teacher would focus on teaching his top students (Jesus teaching the disciples) who would then go out and teach verbally in front of many crowds, refining it to the most memorable word choices, repeating it over and over. Then their top students would be the ones to later write the teachings down -- so the wisdom teacher had better be effective at teaching his students. Jesus adopted this role to be more effective for the culture at the time, and it also removes any room for a false version of events as the actual written gospels would have simply been the same content taught many times publicly before that, plus those students' eyewitness accounts of events surrounding the original teacher's ministry. Matthew, as a tax collector who would be well-educated and already work with paper records, also fits the pattern of an official scribe for a prophet like Baruch for Jeremiah so he may also have been writing live notes. These would later be compiled into his gospel, and all his teachings and accounts would be known by heart by all of his top students.

So a late gospel introducing major new details wouldn't have been added to the canon. The same process would continue reliably for several centuries. So there's no point in which a gospel not written by Matthew could ever become part of the Bible, whether it was titled as if it was or not (note that titles were tags attached to scrolls; they weren't part of the document itself except for letters (as with the epistles -- so this in combination with the above evidence like the universal titles in early libraries is why the gospels aren't anonymous as some claim). This practice of public teaching and memorization of common wordings is also why things like the Synoptic gospel similar word choices happen, and why skeptic accusations of problems based on that fail. That doesn't mean the authors just copied from each other; it's natural genuine authors would have had these common memorized wordings, right from the start (though they're also often paraphrased). > We also have tons of manuscript evidence for the whole NT. We can deduce what it said despite copyist errors with near 100% certainty since copies were sent out to so many geographical regions. An error in one area wouldn't be copied in the other, so by comparing the major copy families we can deduce what was in the original. Even skeptics admit that we know what the originals said, and we know which things in some later copies are errors. Also some charges of intentional changes have been leveled but we know what that looks like and it leaves a historical trail of evidence as it either requires a single individual who travels all over the place and somehow obtains tons of paper to replace all copies (not gonna happen) or requires help which makes the secret of it impossible to keep.

Such an editing campaign and destroying of undesired early versions was done for the Quran and left a historical trail. Today many modern Muslims have tried to make an apologetic argument based on supposed perfect preservation, so there's every motive to hide this record, but it still exists despite this. The same would have been true to a much greater extent had such an alteration campaign been done to the Bible, and likely it still would have failed as some manuscripts could get buried only to be rediscovered later. So in short neither accidental nor intentional changes could have happened that wouldn't be detected. The only "hope" for major changes would have been before the original copies went out, and only by the original authors themselves. (OT preservation is more complicated, though confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls and by the confirmation of the NT since Jesus affirmed the OT of his time.)

> The gospels and Acts get every obscure local detail right, unlikely that a late fraudulent author would guess right. Skeptics actually know about this and have tried to make accusations of inaccuracies along these lines (like the recent denying Nazareth existed, which failed) but have been debunked where currently testable.

I have a bachelor's degree in math, and that actually strengthened my belief in God. When you're dealing with a huge mess of equations that look like they are going nowhere, and all of a sudden order arises out of it, it's a beautiful and unexpected thing. Clear evidence of God in my opinion. And I'm not the only one. Kurt Godel, Bernhard Riemann, Isaac Newton, and John Lennox are all mathematicians that believed in God. John Lennox is still very active in apologetics. Most militant atheists rely on Christian ignorance of these facts to win apologetic arguments. But study a bit of science and you'd be surprised how much order and beauty lie within our broken world, and there's no way there isn't some kind of intent possessed by nature that's behind it all.

Hello Sushi...Best counsel to a new believer is to make Bible reading and study primary! God's word equips believers in every way: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Your own Bible reading and study will equip you to test everything as believers are instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Generally speaking, too many believers read books about the Bible instead of reading the Bible. Being grounded in the scriptures is necessary in order to avoid being led astray by error that can be found in many popular books circulating in Christian circles today.

The Bible is the truth, but christianity is not. Before you get brainwashed, i suggest you seek the truth. Here is some idea why the christian faith is not the truth. Christianity is a theology that sets the Christian up for failure. You are told by the church all are sinners, and it is impossible to be without sin. Our Messiah says: Joh 8:11 And she said, “No one, Master.” And יהושע said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.” The church says, nobody is perfect, but our Messiah says: Mat 5:48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect. The church says it is impossible to obey the commandments, and our Messiah says: Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands. One of the two is lying. It it our Messiah? OR the church. I believe Scripture to be the Word of our Father, and He can not lie: Tit 1:2 in expectation of everlasting life which Elohim, who does not lie, promised before times of old, The Christian theology is a lie and against Scripture. It contradicts what our Messiah Yahusha tells us. By changing the Scriptures, they took away the Father and Son’s Hebrew Sacred Names. It is not “Lord”, “God” nor “Jesus”. They make you rest on the day of the sun worshipper, Sunday and not the 7th day Sabbath of Scripture. It makes you obey pagan traditions like celebrating Christmas and Easter instead of the Scriptural feasts of Lev 23. Christianity is a hybrid religion mixed with the original faith of our Messiah Yahusha and paganism. The best lie is the lie closest to the truth. Wake up seeker of truth. Don’t be led away into the darkness of false teaching. Obey the commands, this is the only way you will receive authority to enter into the kingdom of our Heavenly Father Yahuah. Rev 22:14 “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.

@@jacobtack2258 The best commentary on the Bible is the Bible. It is the study of the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27-30, 2 Timothy 2:15) that equips believers to discern truth from error and to detect the wresting of the scriptures (of which Peter warned in 2 Peter 3:15-17) which can lead people astray. The scriptures bear consistent witness: The only hope of sinful men is to be reconciled to God through the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:19, 1 Timothy 2:3-6). Eternal life is freely offered to all (Romans 6:23, Isaiah 45:22) and is received by faith (Romans 5:1) based upon the work of Jesus Christ in his suffering and death for our sins, and his burial and resurrection, which were according to the scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Apart from Christ, men perish (John 3:16). A person who has been saved by God’s grace has been quickened (i.e. made spiritually alive) (Ephesians 2:1-5). Such persons are called to many things which include to 1) walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4), 2) grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord (2 Peter 3:18), and 3) walk in the Spirit (thus not fulfilling the lust of the flesh) (Galatians 5:16-18). Scripture speaks of believers as made spiritually alive, but yet having flesh and thus a conflict (Romans 7). Believers are called to obedience, but the scripture both acknowledges our sins and cites the provision that has been made for them (1 John 1:9-10, 1 John 2:1-2). Believers have redemption in Christ: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14). Believers have been counted righteous by their faith in Christ: But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness (Romans 4:5). Believers look to the day when they will live in a promised glorified state with Christ (1 Corinthians 15:35-58). In the meantime, they are to know and heed the word of God (John 17:17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19-20), while preaching the gospel of Christ to all: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16).

@@sm8johnthreesixteen Hi Shirley, thank you for your reply. It sure took a lot of effort and I can see your passion for your belief. I hope we will be able to speak a few times, to clear some theological errors. I agree with some of your words, because it is the word of our Father. But disagree on much of your interpretation. I understand where you come from, I was a Christian for over 40 years. But then Yahuah called, and showed me His Way. But the problem is that the church have changed His Word and now are the savage wolfs leading Yahuah’s flock astray by their false theology and traditions. They teach falsehood, preaching the pagan names of Lord and Jesus instead of His Sacred Hebrew Name YHWH pronounced Yahuah. Act 20:29 “For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves shall come in among you, not sparing the flock. Act 20:30 “Also from among yourselves men shall arise, speaking distorted teachings, to draw away the taught ones after themselves. Yes the church teaches the traditions, but not the traditions the disciples learnt from our Messiah Yahusha, but the lies of the church, with Christmas, Easter, Lent, Ash Wednesday, Halloween etc. 2Th 2:15 So, then, brothers, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or by our letter. I do take issue with your grace teaching. And this is the very serious error of the Christian faith. Of course all these verses you quoted are correct. But you are looking through tainted glasses. Grace is not a license to sin. You use Yahuah’s word to ok sin. You refer to the teaching of Yahusha Messiah pointing to the fact that He came to take away our sins. That is correct, BUT even more importantly, it is not for us to remain in Sin. Freedom from sin is "the gift". But the Christian is taught they are all sinners. That too is correct. But they are sinners BECAUSE they follow the theology of the church. By calling the Father and Son by pagan names. You break the 1st three commands. Keeping the Sunday instead of the 7th day Sabbath, you break the 4th command. And because of these and more errors in the Christian theology you will always remain in sin. You say that eternal life is free to all, is a blatant lie and false teaching. Eternal life is free, BUT is also conditional. It is free for ONLY those who walk in His Torah/Law. And the condition is obedience. See what Yahusha said to the rich young man who enquired about eternal life. Mat 19:16 And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?” Mat 19:17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One - Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.” Scripture warns us about teachers twisting the Word for their own agenda’s. Tickling the ears of those unstable min the faith. 2Pe 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures. 2Pe 3:17 You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawless, Key word in the above passage, is the last sentence. Being led away with the delusion of the lawless. You see we are required to be pure and clean. Just like Yahuah freed Yisrael from the bondage of slavery to Egypt, so are we to be free from the bondage of slavery to sin. When Yisrael was freed from Egypt, were they still slaves? NO! Today we are being set free from the bondage of slavery to sin and death. But you want to remain a sinner. Yahuah does not hear the sinner: Joh 9:31 “And we know that Elohim does not hear sinners. But if anyone fears Elohim and does His desire, He hears him. But He hears those who do His desire. And what is His desire? Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands. And this is the problem with the church and its followers. They do not keep the commandments. Your disobedience to His Word is an abomination to Him: Pro 28:9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, Even his prayer is an abomination. Yes our Messiah did come to save us, but saving means to be free from sin. Rom 6:1 What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, to let favour increase? Rom 6:2 Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Sin is what separates man from Yahuah: Isa 59:2 But your crookednesses have separated you from your Elohim. And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing. What is sin? Sin is disobedience to the Law/Torah of Yahuah: 1Jn 3:4 Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And this is how our Messiah Yahusha feels about the lawless one: Mat 7:23 “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’ These are not words you want to hear! The following are very dangerous words to say. You said, quote “ Believers are called to obedience, but the scripture both acknowledges our sins and cites the provision that has been made for them (1 John 1:9-10, 1 John 2:1-2). Believers have redemption in Christ: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14). Believers have been counted righteous by their faith in Christ:” The truth is that believers are called to obedience, BUT then very quickly you add “BUT” Scripture acknowledges our sin. That is utter lies, and false security. Yahuah does not accept sin! He says, those who are in sin, are of the devil: 1Jn 3:8 The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil. Yahusha has come to DESTROY the works of the devil. And now we must live free from sin. Because we are born in Him. 1Jn 3:9 Everyone having been born of Elohim does not sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of Elohim. Man can not receive the Set Apart Spirit of Yahuah being sinners or in disobedience! We receive His Spirit through our obedience: Act 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these matters, and so also is the Set-apart Spirit whom Elohim has given to those who obey Him.” Yahusha will cause us to be saved by our obedience: Heb 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the Causer of everlasting deliverance to all those obeying Him, We are not counted righteous living in Sin. We are counted righteous, living with Yahusha in us WHICH EMPOWERS US TO OVERCOME SIN! He can not dwell in darkness, and Yahuah sent His Son to restore the relationship, so that He and His Son, through our love and obedience to Him, can receive both the Spirit of Yahuah and Yahusha: Joh 14:23 יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. Salvation comes through our obedience to His Commandments, and that gives us the authority to enter into His Kingdom: Rev 22:14 “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. Man will not enter through the gates as sinners. Only Yisrael will be able to enter into His Kingdom. Who is Yisrael? It is a spiritual nation, living in obedience to the Father. Yisrael means to overcome with EL(Elohim). That is Yahusha in us. Engrafted into Him - Rom 11. No gates for the Christian: Rev 21:12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ěl: The conclusion of the entire matter is: Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! I will send a separate reply on the requirements to be saved. Shalom

Every Christian needs to be able to give a reason for the hope that lies within them. In other words, every Christian needs to be able to give there testimony. There are Christians whose calling is Apologetics, but that is not every Christians calling. Even if I could win an argument with the skeptic, that does not mean they will now have faith. If they choose not to believe, no amount of Apologetics is going to get them to repent. But showing how Jesus changed me, they can't argue that.

Let alone that it says homosexuality is an abomination and that homosexuals should be killed and as their fault that they get murdered. I started looking at people in a new light instead of looking at them through The eyes of one book. Why is homosexuality bad and why does my holy book say that I should kill them? Why does my holy book say that I can beat and own somebody because they're my property? Don't you get me started on the genocidal Maniac that is the biblical God.

Go and sin no more.” The church says, nobody is perfect, but our Messiah says: Mat 5:48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect.

I believe Scripture to be the Word of our Father, and He can not lie: Tit 1:2 in expectation of everlasting life which Elohim, who does not lie, promised before times of old, The Christian theology is a lie and against Scripture. It contradicts what our Messiah Yahusha tells us. By changing the Scriptures, they took away the Father and Son’s Hebrew Sacred Names. It is not “Lord”, “God” nor “Jesus”.

His Word for 400 years so that our ancestors could be murdered, violated, and abused into creating our lineage. She's literally saying that we should be OK with the fact that God just didn't get around to awaken enough White people from the 1600s to the 1840s so they can understand that the abolitionists were right and the church leaders were wrong about slavery being permitted. If there was a loving God, why did He allow me to be created from a dozen of generations of unnecessary misery and bloodshed?

You called me, quote “You are really misguided and convoluted in your thinking”. I asked you to prove it, and NOTHING? That is very weak and groundless accusation! So you are a christian and think you know the truth. Let’s look at it and see who is misguided. We will use the Scripture to find the truth. Scripture says that we must follow the example of our Messiah: 1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, Our Messiah says, that we will be known by our fruits: Mat 7:20 “So then, by their fruits you shall know them - Let us look at the fruits of the christian, who follows the theology of the church. 1. They call the Father “Lord” which means “Ba’al” in Hebrew and the Son “Jesus” which means “Hail Zeus” in Greek. You Call the Hebrew Messiah and Father by the names of pagan deities. Breaking the 1st three commands. 2. You changed the Sabbath to Sunday worship, breaking the 4th command, which is the covenant sign Yahuah(YHWH) made with His People. Sunday is the day of the sun worshipper. By now you have broken every command applicable to the Father and Son. Congratulations. But it doesn’t stop there ... 3. You done away with the Scriptural Feasts, and replaced them with Christmas, Easter, Lent, Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Halloween etc... 4. You broke the eternal Law of the Passover. 5. You eat unclean foods. Do you realize that Yahusha, the Hebrew Messiah of the Bible did NONE of these PAGAN CHURCH traditions? So who exactly is misguided? And the Word of Yahuah is NOT difficult to understand, because if you obey His Commands, and call Him by His Sacred Name, which is the Key of knowledge. Yahusha will teach you!!! (Isa 30:20&21) Luk 11:52 “Woe to you learned in the Torah, because you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.” What did the Pharisees take away? His Sacred Name... Act 4:18 And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor to teach in the Name of יהושע. That is why you still call Yahuah and Yahusha Lord and Jesus. When you praise the father and Son, what do you say? Hallelulord? Or Hallelujesus? NO! Neither. You say HalleluYAH!!! GO read in your Bible Ps 68:4 Praising the Father and Son by the ONLY name that saves. (Act 4:12) Act 2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’ HalleluYAHUAH!!!

It's unnecessary, there's really only 1 question in the video that matters, did Jesus rise from the dead.

Just because you explain something to someone doesn't mean that they will accept your explanation. What is useful for turning the minds and the hearts of unbelievers to Christ is the preaching of the gospel [Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:18], the word which God gives to those tuned to the Holy Spirit to speak to those who come to them seeking God [Matthew 10:19], and showing the power of God to people [Mark 16:20].

VERY well-done Video! Concise and you gave "for more info" for each question. Excellent. And along that line, I offer this: More and more people seem to be "DE-constructing". Why? Because they go to college and and dont have comebacks for Philosophy and Theology professors or they read an Atheist book and can't disprove it, so...they give up their faith.And so--- What NEEDS to happen, and ISN'T happening is this: Back in the 70s, Josh McDowell writes "Evidence that Demands a Verdict". Then, Jeffrey Jay Lowder writes a skeptical Critique of McDowell--but--- Nnooooobody (that I am aware of) has written ANYTHING to then immediately counter, or disprove, Lowder, or Dan Barker, or Sam Harris or Bart Ehrman. So...people think that Lowder or other skeptics "won", and more folks fall away. The Christians DON'T make a comeback-book to disprove the skeptic. They (almost only) try to make a new "positive" book, simply re-stating how its all true again. But they don't engage or disprove the skeptic. And more people decide they "just don't believe it anymore." WHO WILL WRITE "the Comeback" to Dan Barker's "Losing Faith in Faith"?? and-- WHO WILL WRITE the counter-arguments book to Robert M. Price's book: The Case Against The Case for Christ"? Who will show that Bart Ehrman is wrong? Christians need to counter those books and "convince the gainsayer". Fix that, if it can be done honestly.

This would be good info for many to have! What un-did his doubts? As far as I can tell, he hasn't said and we dont know. The skeptics keep getting ignored.

@@keswes266 the problem is-- even if the answers are "right at our finger-tips" as you say, skeptics counter them and then the Christian does not respond to the objection/s. They don't disprove the criticism, they ignore it. Then, the public thinks the skeptics have won . . . and more people leave churches. For example: Lee Strobel writes The Case for Christ. Then, Robert M. Price writes "the Case AGAINST the Case for Christ". But Strobel doesn't engage Price or write anything to refute him. What happens next is that the public hears about some "new" apologist (J. Warner Wallace? Frank Turek?) who writes another new book sayinghow its-all-true, all over again....but they don't disprove Price, or whoever the previous skeptic was. The public is still waiting for an answer to the previous skeptic, doesn't get one, and concludes the skeptics won the argument and they lose Faith and quit the church. Avoidance isn't an "answer". DISPROVE the skeptic. The Churches are dying. Using some different author to write a new book and simply re-state the beliefs isn't working. Still more people keep leaving.

Lady, so you thought the video was great? Does the Bible support slavery? Let us see why Alisa Childers did not use the following Bible verses to support her claims, for the good christian lady would have contradicted herself if she did use these verses. But the Bible does not lie as humans sometimes do. Leviticus 25:44-46 44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly. Exodus 21:20-21 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. Numbers 31:17-18 17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. In verse 31:17, Moses instructs the soldiers to kill every male child and every woman who is not a virgin. They can keep the virgin women as sex slaves (Numbers 31:18). Assume nothing. Question all things. But most of all, learn to think critically.

@@jacobtack2258 Jacob, I respect your take and opinion but couldn't disagree more. Hermeneutics is critical and your Scripture references to somehow justify that Christianity or the Church is somehow leading Christians astray is ironically odd. We know of the Messiah precisely because of Scripture so listening to the Messiah IS listening to Scripture as that is how He has been revealed to us. Your same verses you quote can be supported exactly in the opposite way which is why context is important. I don't follow Christ because Christmas is on Dec 25th for example or going to church on a specific day of the week. Obeying His commands is what we do...what you mean by that I'm not sure. And I'm not sure where you are going saying Easter is a pagan tradition? unless you are denying the death & resurrection of Jesus...which then we have a bigger disagreement. The canon of Scripture which incudes the OT & NT are critically and beautifully both needed as the meta-narrative to life and purpose found in God, through his Son. Grace and Peace to you my friend.

In this case, claiming that a seemingly impossible thing that defies all reason is a MUCH stronger claim than the position that the seemingly impossible thing doesn't exist. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Sorry to inform you, but the onus is on Christians for proving the existence of God, not on atheists for proving that God doesn't exist.

Christianity is a theology that sets the Christian up for failure. You are told by the church all are sinners, and it is impossible to be without sin. Our Messiah says: Joh 8:11 And she said, “No one, Master.” And יהושע said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.” The church says, nobody is perfect, but our Messiah says: Mat 5:48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect. The church says it is impossible to obey the commandments, and our Messiah says: Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands. One of the two is lying. It it our Messiah? OR the church. I believe Scripture to be the Word of our Father, and He can not lie: Tit 1:2 in expectation of everlasting life which Elohim, who does not lie, promised before times of old, The Christian theology is a lie and against Scripture. It contradicts what our Messiah Yahusha tells us. By changing the Scriptures, they took away the Father and Son’s Hebrew Sacred Names. It is not “Lord”, “God” nor “Jesus”. They make you rest on the day of the sun worshipper, Sunday and not the 7th day Sabbath of Scripture. It makes you obey pagan traditions like celebrating Christmas and Easter instead of the Scriptural feasts of Lev 23. Christianity is a hybrid religion mixed with the original faith of our Messiah Yahusha and paganism. The best lie is the lie closest to the truth. Wake up seeker of truth. Don’t be led away into the darkness of false teaching. Obey the commands, this is the only way you will receive authority to enter into the kingdom of our Heavenly Father Yahuah. Rev 22:14 “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.

@@jacobtack2258 You are really cherry picking and twisting scripture. I don't rely on what the church says because the church is not perfect. The Bible does not say that salvation makes you perfect and without sin, it says you're forgiven your sins but still subject to the flesh until you die. We are to strive toward sanctification as long as we live and ask forgiveness daily for our missteps. Only through the power of the Holy Spirit are we able to resist sin, even after salvation. Jesus warned Peter in the Garden just before his arrest that Satan had asked permission to "sift him like wheat" and Jesus prayed for him. True Christianity is not a hybrid religion, and the scriptural feasts" of Leviticus are not binding on any Christian. Only a Judiazer would attempt to mix Mosaic Law as part of Christianity. I recently had a similar conversation with a SDA. The indoctrination of these "christian" cults is very effective and will lead many to destruction.

@jacobtack2258 2 жыл бұрын

@@Genesis.1-1 Actually it is not me cherry picking. I study all Scripture and apply all Scripture. You as a Christian are cherry picking from Scripture what you think apply to you as a Christian. There are 33 000 different Christian denominations, and they all believe the same as you, that only you are the “the true Christians”. All Christian denominations are hybrid religions. Let me show you how. I will quote your words: “True Christianity is not a hybrid religion, and the scriptural feasts" of Leviticus are not binding on any Christian. Only a Judiazer would attempt to mix Mosaic Law as part of Christianity”. So what you are saying in the above quoted passage, is that in the Bible there are two plans for salvation. One for the Christian and another for the Judaizers. First of all, our Messiah never came for the pagan or the Christian. He only came for the lost tribes of the house of Yisrael: Mat 15:24 And He answering, said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ěl.” Let me correct you on your idea that there is a part of Scripture for you and another for the Jew. All Scripture applies: 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, 2Ti 3:17 that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work. You refer to the Mosaic law as NOT part for the Christian religion. Well see what Our Messiah said: Joh 5:46 “For if you believed Mosheh, you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me. Joh 5:47 “But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?” Yahusha Messiah says, if you do NOT believe Moses’s writings, how would you believe Him? We read in the following passage, about the people like you, who disregard the Torah of Moses. Heb 10:28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. Yahuah says that those who disregard the Torah of Moses(Mosaic Law) commits the unforgiveable sin. You have the Bible, so you have the Torah/Law of Moses, the truth. But you choose to disregard it. There is no offering left for that: Heb 10:26 For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, Yahusha made it clear, the Torah remains. We also saw that all Scripture applies. Now the Bible is the word of Yahuah our Creator. He never changes: Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Ya‛aqoḇ, shall not come to an end. He does not profane His Covenant(10 commandments/Maosaic law), not change what He has said: Psa 89:34 “I shall not profane My covenant, Neither would I change what has gone out from My lips. He is unchangeable: Heb 6:17 In this way Elohim, resolving to show even more clearly to the heirs of promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, confirmed it by an oath, There is no shadow of change in Him: Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning. AND His Word MAY NOT be changed either. Deu 4:2 “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. So here is the deal. You want to believe in a God, that made special rules for you, and Who says you can choose any part or parts of scripture you want. And you are ok to commit idolatry to call Him and His Son by pagan names, believe in the lie of the trinity(a third god) some more idolatry. And it is ok to be a sinner. Boy you have been deceived. The conclusion of the entire matter according to Yahuah the father is…. Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind!

@@jacobtack2258 The lie of the Trinity? That sounds like Modalism. The Old Testament covenant is not the 10 Commandments, That's the Mosaic Law. The Covenant is a promise to the Jewish people. The New Covenant is for everyone and is nothing more than the promise of eternal life to all people through Christ crucified and raised from the dead to pay the price of our sins. There are no special rules for anyone. Eternal life is gained by faith alone, through grace alone in Jesus Christ alone. There are no works; and the Mosaic Law cannot save anyone. I had you pegged as a JW or SDA but now I have no clue where you're coming from. The only thing I can say is that I'll pray for you.

@@Genesis.1-1 I am a Natsarene, a follower of the Messiah Yahusha. Mat 2:23 and came and dwelt in a city called Natsareth - thus to fill what was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Natsarene.” I am also a Natsarim, meaning a branch. Joh 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who stays in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit. Because without Me you are able to do naught! I am what Yahusha taught us to be. I follow His Teachings which is the Scriptures(all of it). I do not follow after the traditions and false teachings of men. There is no denomination that I am part of. Accept being a Yisraelite, which means top overcome with Elohim. This is not where you are born from, but whether you are a child of the Most High Elohim, Yahuah. There are no gates for the Christian or church. Only for the children of Yisrael: Rev 21:12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ěl: SO whatever I share with you is Scriptural and not man’s opinion or some false theology of a group of people. Like the false belief of Christianity by the church fathers and translators. I will give you Scripture references as I answer you concerns.

Here is one Biblical claim no Christian has tried to defend: According to most Christian sources, Joshua and the Hebrews entered and conquered Canaan any time from 1500 BCE to 1200 BCE (I'm being very generous with the timeline). Yet according to historians and archeologists for most of that period Canaan was part of Egypt. That means Joshua either did not conquer dozens of micronations as described in the Bible but took the land from Egypt from whom they had just escaped slavery or the Egyptians conquered the Promised Land AFTER the Israelites had settled in the land. Why does the Bible omit this VERY IMPORTANT bit of information? Or is it true that the Exodus never happened?

@josietanner3960 2 жыл бұрын

There is a book by Timothy P. Mahoney called Patterns of Evidence Exodus where he explains the timeline of the Exodus. He traveled around the world to find proof that the Exodus actually happened and he found tons of proof that it occurred. He also has a movie about it. As far as the Bible omitting certain things, you have to keep in mind that the Bible is an ancient document. People back then did not record history the way we do today.
