If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:18-19 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12

TTP was one of thy most transformational learning experiences in my life with Jesus Christ. Early on, I desperately needed a Bible teacher that understood the totality of the Word of God. That training grabbed my attention right from the beginning, and held it all the way through. I missed one week, and the leader lent me the disc to catch up. I must have watched it a dozen times in the week before the following lesson. I fell in love with it and I realized that I MUST own it for myself. I had later gone through the training for the leadership portion, and have hosted this course at least 5 times since. I haven't stopped loving this content, nor have I stopped following Dr Del Tackett and his ministry. From the multi-disc set of TTP to the variable 'TrueU' series, to the "Is Genesis History" documentary, and the follow up "Beyond Is Genesis History", I continue to honor Jesus and his transformative work on thy cross and the beautiful discipling under the tutelage of Dr Del Tackett with continued study. Thanks sooo much for putting this onto this platform, as flawed as it might be, we get to experience this explanation from the man himself and share it with loved ones instantly thanks to you, and KZbin. May God bless you...

@@wimahlersDarwin actually doubted his own theory and pointed out it’s numerous flaws and admitted he just wanted to find a way to remove God from the world because he suffered terrible grief but atheists took a hold of his unprovable and flawed THEORY and declared it as true. Louis Pasteur proved that life can not come from non-life shattering the THEORY of evolution and relegating it to its correct fairytale status. Science, actual science, disproves evolution at every step but this is inconvenient for atheists because the only other option is an intelligent creator. God. People are so desperate to get away from God that they cling to disproved scientific theories whilst ignoring actual scientific facts and declaring those who oppose them as the ones who ignore science. People will do anything to avoid looking inwardly at themselves.

The Bible was written by an "Intelligence" from outside our time domain. These verses were written between 739 and 861 B.C. BEFORE Christ was even born, giving ABSOLUTE PROOF to it's legitimacy: Isaiah 52: 13-15 & 53: 1-12 'Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men; So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall consider.' 'Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.'

The evidence for this impact is identified by geologists and it looks to be a catastrophe far greater than the Flood. We believe Chicxulub impact took out the dinosaurs, but no one wrote about it. Not even the Australian Aborigines record this in song or art. Geologists also are saying they have found chunks from the Theia impact deep down in our planet's core.

Man is incapable of understanding all of creation and what it took to get it all started in the beginning. Man spends billions of dollars a year that is robbed from tax payers to "discover" what is undiscoverable. When you throw money at anything the debacle begins. The most comfort that man shall ever have on this earth it the realization that Jesus fulfilled everything that He promised by AD 70. All was fulfilled. This is the greatest proof that He is whom He claimed to be and that there is a God. When that realization occurs then man can quit looking for scientific reasoning for the creation. The Creator is the reason. My book points out that Jesus did what He claimed. He told His apostles that they would not have gone through all the cities of Israel before His advent. He stated that those that pierced Him would live to see His coming. He told Peter that John would live to see His coming. Many think that Jesus' apostles lived under the New Covenant. That is fallacy. Paul states in Hebrews about the Old Covenant that "it waxeth old and is getting ready to disappear." Hebrews was written a minimum of twenty years after Jesus ascension. There are many other verses that also attest to this. Revelation 14:13 states "Blessed are those that die henceforth." This verse precedes a description of His coming. All were cursed under the law, the Old Covenant. All experienced death, the sinner and the saint. Under that which is perfect, the New Covenant, the repentant soul shall rise upon death of the fleshly body. The resurrection was only for those under the OC. The marriage supper of the Lamb was the marrying in of the OC saints into the NC that allows eternal life, which is in His kingdom. Prior to His coming on clouds and the consummation of the OC, no human soul had ever gone to heaven. It is all covered in my book. The only sources for research and study was the scriptures and historical documented facts only, and not the opinions of any man. Those that were "left behind" at the consummation were the Christians. The late great planet earth shall go on forever.

Do you watch horror movies, i do not...From where did the directors get the ideas to do these kind of pictures? Is exorcism a myth, is it also an act? Are ghosts non existent? Are haunted houses only found in movies? From where do these evil things come? It is either Jesus, the grey area or evil.

Not necessarily. People leave atheism for agnostic or mono-theistic viewpoints with regularity. Atheism is simply not a very strong proposition, philosophically or scientifically. It begins with arbitrarily assuming laws of logic with no proof that such laws exist and continues on to assert that laws of physics behave consistently enough that we can observe and make predictions using them.

We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God. So if you want to pretend to be smart, please give me the laugh by giving your science how creation really happened by natural means. Also, throw in how we got the laws of nature, naturally.

There develops a threat when those with a faith demand that I have the same faith not another faith, conduct my life based on their understanding of their faith and constrict my freedom to be myself in order to validate the faith they themselves insist on following.

[@blusheep2]

I'm sorry to say this but you need to be more informed. First, just because you believe that life can evolve from a single cell to our present configuration does nothing to eliminate the need for God. The challenge isn't just getting from a single cell to the present, which is a huge challenge that scientists have yet to explain, but in the origin of life to begin with. In the Ool question there are astronomically larger obstacles to overcome. So until there is a viable model for the Ool, then you have no cause to say that God is unneeded, even if you believe that biological evolution makes it so. Second, I know very few people who demand that you have the same faith as them. No Bible believing Christian would because the Bible says you have to make a personal choice to follow Jesus. As for restricting freedom, every belief system put into law does that. Its certainly, inconsistent, to act like its wrong for people of faith to be against something like abortion and ignore the secular godless community that is trying to force their opinions about sexual orientation on my children. The simple truth is that all laws are based off of some group of people's opinion about right and wrong. Otherwise, no one is telling you that you can't be yourself. Be whoever you want to be but that doesn't give you the right to force others to accept you for who you want to be. So don't be a hypocrite and hyperbolize what people of faith are doing to you.

The inadequacy of evolutionary theory to explain the indescribable integrated functional complexity of biological life is glaring in this day and age. Darwin's theory was accepted in the 1800s and it's wholly and completely insufficient to explain the vast array of life in light of today's knowledge of the biological world. We are told by evolutionists the "just so" story that an unknown microorganism flew over geological time constantly increasing in complexity until it culminated in the most complex thing in the known universe - the human brain. Yet, we haven't seen one instance of higher complexity in all of recorded history. The evidence that is given to support the Darwinian story can easily be interpreted in the context of Intelligent Design/Creation Science. If evolution is true, there must be evidence for it in the real world -- instead of interpretations to fit the neo-Darwinism story.

Notice how the word "creation" is in that title. I believe creation was supernatural.

I did end up believing it was the God of the bible. It wasn't the 'god of the gaps' god, nor the 'we just don't know yet' god, nor the Big Bang, god, nor the 'nothing', god, nor the 'quantum physics', god, nor.... . Anyway, you get the picture. Those that want to bypass creation and mock creationists, please tell me with evidence how creation happened naturally.

Evidence! Get a copy of my book, For Such A Time As This: Let My People Go, You End-Times Doomsday Sayers! Copy and paste the title into the You Tube search bar and you can watch a presentation. The point with the video is that if we have missed such minor issues, what else of major importance have we missed? Nero was "666". He committed suicide in June AD 68 after a 3 1/2 year persecution against the Christians after the city of Rome burned. Galba was next on the throne, but for a short time. He was killed in January AD 69. He set up an image of Nero in the temple and demanded that the Jews worship it. This was the abomination of desolation prophesied by Daniel and Jesus. It was also the sign for the Christians to flee to the mountains. When the Roman forces overtook the city of Jerusalem in AD 70 the Jews retreated to the temple and were on the wall defending themselves. The Roman forces were catapulting stones over the wall and onto the Jews that weighed a talent, thereabouts 100 lbs. This was fulfillment of John's prophecy of the hailstones falling from the skies in the latter days that weighed a talent. While this was occurring the Jews were shouting "The Son cometh!"

Well most sane people dont believe the bible and genesis. And the guy in this video is pretty much a moron, who argues from ignorance and personal incredulity. You believe there is creation, you believe its supernatural, yet there is no evidence for that. So yes you kinda did automatically assume a god did it. You say there is overwhelming evidence, yet not a single theist is able to present it. You try to switch the burden of proof in that last sentence. You still have the burden of proof on your claims. - there is creation. - the cause is supernatural, i guess it depends on what you mean by supernatural aswell. - And that a god exist and did this. - that its the god of the bible.

Richard, I didn't receive a youtube notice of replies to my comment and just came across these now. Here was my request: Me, "Those that want to bypass creation and mock creationists, please tell me with evidence how creation happened naturally." Your answer that you find acceptable that gives NO evidence for a natural creation but you think you felt the need to share this for your belief: You, "There is a button to click on if you don't care for a video, that's how. And which bible is your personal one, I'd hate to be wrong." Thanks for proving the point why I'm a creationist because I don't want to present myself like you do.

[@2fast2block]

themplar, "You believe there is creation, you believe its supernatural, yet there is no evidence for that." Got it. So to you it makes sense that nothing can create. Not just create, it can give the laws of physics and all that follows. Sorry to burst your bubble but we KNOW nothing will do nothing. Ignorance and denial on your part say volumes about your pathetic stance. Just going by the 1LT alone, how there's a conservation of energy, it can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. It cannot happen by natural means. There's only one choice left, it happened supernaturally. But to you who wants me to believe you actually are of a sound mind, you don't believe the 1LT is true. You have science that would give enough doubt for the 1LT. Please provide your evidence how you got around nothing doing nothing. Please provide your evidence how the 1LT should be doubted. Since you said, "there is no evidence for that.", that means what I provided you, you already knew them and overcame such facts by what? If you're not a fool, and you have the gall to say, "there is no evidence for that.", back it up with evidence, or, just keep making a fool of yourself.

Evolutionists believe that before "the big bang" there was nothing. Christians believe that the Spirit Creator God was there. So atheists have this incredible faith in nothing suddenly popping into everything. Christians have faith in this Incredible Creator making everything out of nothing. How can this be a difficult choice? a) Nothing used nothing to make everything out of nothing. b) "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." There is no evidence of a) ever having happened again; none, zero, nicht, nada. The scriptures attesting to b) have been with us since as far back as we can remember. Ironically the a) camp have the audacity to claim proof for their position in "science". Really? Yes, they think we're that stupid to believe that magical events can have a scientific basis.

With all the respect, the speech is a circular argumentation, thus no argumentation. You are talking about what your beliefs are, and from the title of video, one could expect to see some argumentation, not beliefs. One beliefs are for no help for another. You are saying Genesis is... consistent with God, but God is depicted by humans, who wrote Genesis also. Circular walking. If you have grown up reading the Scripture, that explains much. Should you have been born in India, you would have grown up reading Bhagavadgita, so this speech, with respect, doesn't help anybody to reason anything. Or maybe I did not cath the purpose of the speech. There are so many naive, childish things in the Bible (Genesis and those about Adam, Eve, apple etc) that look like written in a hurry to explain somehow the World. Humans do not like unexplained things and are a scary species when it comes to beliefs. So they invent, even these days, stories over stories about anything. The human brain and the construction being a believing being, no matter in what, didn't change in 2000 years - just stacked different stories accordingly to the times. If one believe one story it does not mean that that is the true... Sad, but homo sapiens it is what it is

So the evidence that he offers is that the Tower of Babel is compatible with God's nature. Gen.11 KJV [1] And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. [2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. [3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. [6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. [7] Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. [8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. [9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. So what is God's character here? He sees that men are able to cooperate with each other, and that when mankind does this there is nothing they can't accomplish. God reacts with a fit of jealous rage and creates national and tribal division (symbolized by language difference) so that we can no longer cooperate with each other. Notice the people don't act out of pride, the purpose of the tower is not idolatry; surely the tower poses no threat to God. God simply wants to stop human beings living up to their full potential (if that still sounds wrong to you, go back and read it again). It is also noteworthy that God had to go down to earth to find out about the tower, so just as when he is surprised by developments in Eden: the author thinks god is not omnipotent. Doe this hippy, or even the craziest Christian, think that English came into existence at this remote point in time? If it did, where was it until Beowulf? If it didn't, and Middle English came into existence as a pidgin between Old English and Old Norse as Tom SHippey and others think based on the evidence, in other words by a natural process, why should we think other languages did not do the same?

The story of Adam and Eve (which is what I'm assuming you asked about when you said the "Book of Genesis" in it of its literal self is not real. We have much scientific proof of the Earth's true age and evolution spanning back hundreds of years. That DOES NOT take away from the very much TRUE nature of the story. The story is meant to portray the nature of the human, which is to sin, and it is a story meant to give reason for honoring the sabbath day (hence how God rested on the seventh day). God worked through revelations and inspiration to ordinary people. That being said, there was no way that he could have even began to explain the entirety of Earth's history and creation to a feeble-minded human back in those times. Heck we don't even understand it fully to this day. The Bible was not meant to be a scientific book, that is why there are encyclopedias. The Bible is a guide to salvation and ultimately to heaven. I repeat, it tells us how to get to heaven, not how the heavens were made. I hope this helps. P.S. It's not that the Bible is "false" but there are many types of literature in it. You have to differentiate between the literal and the figurative to get the full picture that is God's message.

When the Pharisees rejected Christ he told them unless you believe I am he you will die in your sins. God made a way take it don’t reject it.
