Thank you bro :)

@@Sensaiathletixboxing hi bro, I’ve explained this in another comment but you’re looking at it from the 21st century. In Biblical times, Friday is one day, Saturday is one day and Sunday is one day. Our Bible is the Holy Spirit inspired word of God that was in complete form 300 years after the religion had grown to the largest in the empire despite the religion being illegal. The Bible is not God but helps us connect with God in relationship. Whereas your Quran is full of inaccuracies and errors yet you claim it to be perfect. Your looking at the Bible from an Islamic perspective, many Christians including myself came to faith through encounters, before we’d even read the Bible. What’s your reason for believing Allah? Because if Allah cannot come into humanity, how can you have any evidence that he is true? Especially when he calls himself the greatest of all deceivers. Thank you for your comment.

@ he said 3 days and 3 nights, and scholars allude to Friday evening 3pm, if it was considered one day and one night then he wouldn't have said 3 days and 3 nights, there would have been no need for a distinction between day and night Nice try buddy but you still failed to answer the questions, you just gave a typical Christian dodging the answer sort of response, ill wait for the proper response that you will never have because the prophecy wasn't fulfilled properly.

@@Sensaiathletixboxing hi bro, you didn’t answer my questions either. I’m not a computer who knows everything, I never claimed that, but you asked a good question which I will research later when I get home. But dialogue is two way, you have to answer my questions too and not ignore them. Where is the evidence for Mecca in 632AD? What’s your reason for believing Allah? Because if he can’t come into creation how do you know he exists. Why do you trust a God who calls himself the greatest of deceivers?

@ Allah never called himself the greatest of deceivers what your referring to is lying sam shamoun logic which has been refuted over and over if you knew Arabic you would know he says the best of planners not deceivers. Your evidence of a place that has rare archaeological research, aren’t we still trying to discover the location of Jesus tomb or exactly where he was crucified, but we believe he was crucified and also we believe he was buried in a tomb with no archaeological discovery, so I’m going to need you to apply that same energy towards Mecca. And don’t be a hypocrite It was said and researched that Nazareth wasn’t founded into the 4th century because there was no mention of it until the 4th century in text and no archaeology discoveries Are we also to believe that Nazareth didn’t exist ?

@@Joorawon.M.Yousuf hi mate, @17:28 I stopped because it’s a huge subject. I’ll do another video on it. Once I’ve done the video I’ll post a link here. In my first video I show that my claim is not a silly idea but evidence from the Pew report and that it’s you bro that has the silly idea haha 🫣. You’re believing the propaganda mate from these Dawa videos. The Pew report states that the biggest driver by way of growth in religion is birth rates, Islam has more birth rates and Christianity has more conversions than Islam. Just look at the comments sections of any video about Islam from the big Christian channels and you will see many people saying they have left Islam but that they can’t tell their families. Without apostate laws, your religion would collapse bro. We have no apostate laws in Christianity and yet we are still no 1. Watch my first video no 1 of the 4.

​@@EdsChristianChannel For example , lying about Mecca/Becca when it's clearly mentioned in your bible ⁉️‼️🤔🤔

@@Joorawon.M.Yousuf Mecca being clearly mentioned in the Bible is not the case mate. Bucca is a different word, it’s not even spelt the same. Furthermore, Bucca in Psalms has lush vegetation and Olive fields since when are there olive fields and lush vegetation in Mecca? There’s on average 10cm of rain fall in Mecca per year. Whereas there is lush vegetation and olive groves north. My other videos talk more about this, I’ll find a direct link for you. My second point is that even if Bucca was Mecca (which it’s not) is that the only evidence? A few words in the book that you claims to be corrupted? where is the physical evidence like ruins, temples, coins? Etc. Why with the mass development of Mecca they haven’t found any of the tombs of the prophets? Use your brain mate,

@@michaelloach9461 hi Micheal, there’s many people a lot more educated and intelligent than us who have had the same perspective as you who then become Christian. If you ask a fish about what it’s like walking on land, they would have no idea and would be dismissive. Keep an open mind, over 80% of the world’s population believe differently to you. Don’t think because you read some clever scientists books that they are all knowing. I’m not saying you are but it’s easy to become arrogant when you’re a bit more intelligent than others or you’ve read a couple of books by Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins. Keep an open mind, I don’t know how old you but opinions change over time. I don’t believe in Gods, I believe in one God and that there is an opposing force of evil who controls many fallen angels who like to pretend to be God. Have you seen an exorcism before?

@@colonalklink14 The Story of the Woman Caught in Adultery (John 7:53-8:11) • What it says: This passage tells of a woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus saves from stoning by saying, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” • Why it’s questioned: This story is missing from many of the oldest manuscripts and appears in different places in some others. Scholars believe it may have been added to John’s Gospel later, possibly because it was an oral tradition about Jesus

@@muhammadabdulalim-j1c Nonsense. It was included in the gospel of John because the Holy Spirit impressed men to write it. The oldest texts? Alexandrian or Syrian texts are not older, that's a lie. The King James Bible is God's preserved written word in the English language. The Oldest texts according to the Textus Receptus include this passage. Textus Receptus is over 5000 Greek texts that agree with eachother.

@@EdsChristianChannel yeah NP brother I am just a devote Christian I also study the Torah and Quran so I can back up what I’m saying and these people are so brainwashed it makes me sad the Jewish don’t believe he was the son of god and just a prophet and was killed for it by the Roman’s for his faith desecrating king david by proclaiming he was the only divine flesh of Christ most likely the case but this can never be physically proven the only thing we have that’s actually physical is the Jewish and Roman scriptures from that time period and unless you say god talked to you now or back then they would throw you in a psyche ward lol or kill you like Jesus himself that’s why the Bible is a beautiful metaphor for life and when we are judged we can say you didn’t work all day , I was a carpenters son, your mother didn’t suffer , she watched me die on a cross so it’s a hard battle but we try and I just like giving Christians engagement on the net we need gods supporters to show others how it’s done more then ever right now especially but there is my over explanation about Christ for today lol happy it’s on your channel have a beautiful day and I hope you and your family are well

@@Wokevolution it’s doubling every 17 years approximately in the Uk due to immigration’ and high birth rates. I worry for the next generations.

@@EdsChristianChannel How can we fix it?

@@Wokevolution in my opinion we have to reduce immigration to max 50000 a year, have a points system like in Australia, we have to have strict rules of assimilation such as learning the English language and be willing to live in a multi cultural society such as a street full of different ethnicities. These rules should apply to the 53% of Muslims who were born overseas, we have to get rid of Sharia courts and Islamic schools as they only encourage segregation. Anyone who shows any sign of being an Islamist should be deported if they were born over seas. We need to incentivise increased birth rates of everyone else and offer affordable housing to young people. Furthermore, encourage people to have families and not just careers. Also, promote our history and culture whilst at the same time highlighting the dangers of nationalism. I think we need to take back our institutions, offer housing and protection for people leaving Islam, as it stands if someone in the UK leaves they are at risk of violence with often no protection from the government. What do you think bro?

Hi bro, it’s an appearance to appeal to and manipulate the western mind as they know we value logic, reason and rationale. They have big Dawa organisations that study how to manipulate westerners. They have many people at speakers corner and across London with scripts on what to say. I can name many examples of their double standards. They haven’t a lot to offer spiritually so they go after the Bible to create doubt. Then cherry pick verses and take them out of context, then ask questions that sound really valid, but are debunked in seconds by a knowledgeable Christian. Thank you for your comment

Because the devil offers a counter fit of love which is lust. The devil does not know how to love or show love. Even if he could, he has no reason to appear in my dream showing me love which would increase my faith in God. He wants to do the opposite which is destroy our faith by distracting us and even tempting us with false promises of 72 virgins in paradise.

@@mustafasebogodi2436 thank you for your comment bro

I think it’s the ultimate Christian heresy in a time when there were a lot of heresy’s. I think Islam was successful because the Roman and Byzantine armies were weak, the Arabs saw an opportunity to take land and gained momentum. I think they created the Quran and Muhammad as a back story for an empire and to give them an identity. Just my opinion, thank you for your comment.

Not a christian myself but I have read both the quran and the bible. I agree the bible has many contradictions, this guy admits it and he does make a valid point that its never said to be the word of god ,just inspired by while the quran is said to gods word. While I would say the bible has WAY more contradictions, the quran does have them too, and many of the same ones. #1 If you were brainwashed would you know it? #2 If someone said they had a test for brainwashing, would you want to take it? #3 If they then said, if you cannot answer these questions, that means your brainwashed, would you be giving it 100% effort to answer those questions? All criminals are caught red handed of murder 100% guilty and show no remorse. The judges always apply the perfect amount of punishment. All things being equal and for arguments sake. Now I will give an example. There are 4 judges and 10 guilty criminals. Judge #1 orders punishment for all 10 criminals and does not forgive without punishment a single one. Judge #2 forgives without punishment all 10 criminals. Judge #3 forgives without punishment 9 of them and punishes 1 of them. Judge #4 punishes 9 of them and forgives without punishment 1 of them. #4 Which judge is the most/maximally just? #5 Which judge is the most/maximally forgiving? #6 Is judge #3 either most/maximally forgiving or most just? #7 Is judge #4 most/maximally forgiving or most just? #8 Is it possible for any judge to be both most/maximally forgiving and most/maximally just?

Show us these contradictions....

Allah says he destined a spot in heaven and in hell..for each person depending on where you’re going… he also says that a Jew or Christian can take your place in hell.. so which one.. also you’re during the same thing… you treat a book that was compiled by someone’s whose Hadiths are unreliable. We don’t hold our book as flawless… it’s Jesus and his teachings… come on brother open your mind 🛐🫡

Was Iblis an angel or a jinn? If he was not an angel, why was he punished for disobeying a command to angels? If he was an angel, how did he disobey when it says angels cannot disobey allah? The quran says it only looked like jesus died but he really did not die, so who made it look like jesus died? Was people thinking jesus died because someone made it look like he did and came back a big part of what lead to christianity? Why would allah make it look like or allow someone else to make it look like jesus died when if hes all knowing he would know that is what leads to a different religion being created? Where are the gog and magog and the giant iron and copper rampart that a man who ruled the world from the east to west (never happened in history as north america was not even known about) and saw the sun rise and set in muddy springs in the eat and west that built that wall holding back the gog and magog until judgement day? We have images the earth with satellites, did not find a group of people with ears like blankets that outnumber humanity 9/1 (72 billion) or the giant wall holding them all back that regrows when they sleep so they start again every day for the past 2000-3000 years.

just when you read Bible, you have to remember that the prophets were better than their environment, and it was a work in progress,.......starting with the funky abraham who protected his own life but not his child, was willing to do what they did his relatives in that time,....knowing this, do you still believe that the violent M was an evolution of Jesus?

@@EdsChristianChannel Hereiamlordsendme disscord

Thank you for your comment Bill and I understand your frustrations with what I said in this video lol. I can tell show you testimonies and tell you stories but from I understand you are looking for tangible evidence which is fair enough. As you’re aware cameras were not in the 1st century so this is difficult haha. However, there are two things that I can suggest: 1) I can post links to videos on here of miracles that are preformed in Jesus name such as healings, words of knowledge and even exorcisms. These things are the same as what were performed in the New Testament and are done in the name of Christ. 2) The other thing is that I lead you in prayer or you pray yourself for God to reveal himself to you. This is what I did about 9 years ago. God can and has randomly revealed himself to people in the past but more often than not he wants us to take a step towards him in faith first before he reveals himself to us. If you’re willing to do that step I’ll pray with you but if you’re not that’s cool too, no worries. Either way mate, blessings to you bro.

@@EdsChristianChannel _"I can tell show you testimonies and tell you stories but from I understand you are looking for tangible evidence which is fair enough."_ Thank you. Yes, evidence is how we distinguish reality from delusion and wishful-thinking. After all, you don't believe the stories from _other_ religions, because you know that stories aren't always true. And you don't accept the "testimonies" of other religions, either. All of that is indistinguishable from wishful-thinking (or misremembering, or misinterpreting, or downright lying), which you recognize when it comes to those _other_ religions. That's why I don't believe those religions _or_ yours. That's why I _can't_ believe them. As far as I can tell, it's all indistinguishable from wishful-thinking. And _which_ religion the faith-based believe almost always depends on which religion they were taught to believe as a child, because that's the one that seems normal to them and that's the one they really, really _want_ to be true. When you pray to a god, you pray to the god of your childhood just... automatically, don't you? And that's the one you really, really _want_ to be real? Converts do exist - in every direction (Muslims are always bragging about the Christians they've converted to Islam) - but they're a small minority. _"1) I can post links to videos on here of miracles"_ But you can't demonstrate that a miracle has ever happened, let alone _why,_ right? Again, you're just got stories. And _every_ religion has stories of miracles. Stories aren't always true, but they're popular, so every religion has them. Unfortunately, _no_ religion can demonstrate that they actually happened, as far as I've seen so far, let alone _why_ they happened. _"2) The other thing is that I lead you in prayer or you pray yourself for God to reveal himself to you."_ And how would that be distinguishable from wishful-thinking? The whole _point_ is that I care about the truth, so I want something that _is_ distinguishable from wishful-thinking. And if God _didn't_ reveal himself to me? Does that prove he's not real? You wouldn't agree with _that,_ right? It's always going to be heads you win, tails I lose, right? _"This is what I did about 9 years ago."_ And were you raised Hindu, then? Were you raised Muslim in a majority Muslim country? Or was your family background Christian? Did you celebrate Christmas as a kid? Did you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny? Were you raised Christian - at least nominally - or surrounded by Christians? Well, why else would you pray to this _particular_ god? _"God can and has randomly revealed himself to people in the past but more often than not he wants us to take a step towards him in faith first before he reveals himself to us."_ But he doesn't actually _do_ that. I mean, even according to _you,_ he might or he might not, right? So, even as an excuse, that's really, really weak! And, of course, _every_ god is like that. According to the stories - again, you have no good evidence that actually happened - _every_ god has revealed himself or herself to believers in the past. And _every_ god needs you to really, really _want_ him/her to be real first, before you can persuade yourself that he/she really _is_ real. (Even then, some of us can't do that. We _can't_ do that. Talk to any atheist who used to be a devout Christian. They desperately _wanted_ God to reveal himself to them. Do you think they wanted to give up eternal life in magic Disneyland? Do you think they wanted to give up an all-powerful, all-loving father figure with a perfect plan just for _them?_ As William Lane Craig said, he loved the idea so much that he wanted to believe it even if the chance it was true was only one in a million. Religions tend to survive because their promises are appealing.) But _none_ of it is distinguishable from delusion and/or wishful-thinking. Since I care about the truth, I need good evidence that religious claims are actually _true_ - not just your religious claims, but any religious claims. Do you have *one* piece of good evidence that _any_ of the magical/supernatural stories in the Bible actually happened? Then how can I believe that they did? But thanks for the reply!

@@Bill_Garthright (part 1/3) Hi bro, thank you for your honesty and I appreciate your frustrations with this. Please be patient with my waffle, we’re different in our thinking and I’m trying my best to explain stuff to someone who had different life experiences to me etc. I’d just encourage you though that this stuff is like learning a new language or skill. Often 2 steps back 3 forwards, in my experience (sorry) I had incredible answers to prayer as a non believer when I would occasionally be really stuck. Individually you can call them coincidences but stacked on top of one another I knew God was real. I would then be incredibly frustrated as I’d read some random thing from Kings in the Bible at my Mums house when visiting and then meet a Christian who seemed like an alien to me. After years of trying to ignore God calling me, I fell into the New Age and I loved it. My sister said to ask God to reveal himself which he did when I was pretty drunk in a Church service. I had gone in there to learn about Jesus the great spiritual leader and prophet but not God. I also following Buddha etc. Why God did that when I was 35 and not 65 or 12 I don’t know. But I do know that I will never be the same again, some things shake you to the core and you can’t deny. My sister became a Christian at 12, my Dad is a happy atheist at 71. Why God works the way he does I don’t know. He is still a mystery to me, he’s probably like that to keep me searching for him. Sorry for the waffle, I appreciate this doesn’t help you too much and I also appreciate you don’t care what I say like you said in the first message which is fair enough. When you have an enough people with individual stories, the logical mind which is trained in our education system which is originates in Greece can think this stuff is crazy lol. But when over 80% of the worlds population believe in a higher power then I think that even though that in itself is not a valid reason to believe, when you add one thing to another and to another this can lead someone to to be open enough to believing which can be the first important step. (I say can because God can appear to anyone at any time, and doesn’t follow rules lol). I watched the movie Twisters the other day and I don’t know if this is a good analogy but when a tornado forms, scientists don’t understand 100% what causes it to form. But there is enough eye witnesses and accounts to say that it’s a real thing. It’s similar with God. You have a modernist mind, you’re probably intelligent and knowledgeable, like my Dad. But your blessing can also be a hindrance because we resort to what we’re good at. On the flip side people who haven’t your intellect probably struggle in life but as a result they’ve been humbled a lot where they can see God. It’s almost like the great equaliser in life. In Christianity we talk a lot about the upside down kingdom. If you haven’t thrown your phone across the room in frustration at my waffle then I applaud you haha. I will post at the end some videos more aimed at atheists and modernists.

@@Bill_Garthright (Part 2/3) With regard to the miracles and testimonies of other religions, actually we do believe in many of the stories but that they come from other spirits. We believe that other faiths can do miracles because those spirits still have power, but only power to imitate. They cannot create, furthermore they are subservient to the name of Jesus whenever they go head to head. Also, the Holy Spirit is pure which characteristics that correspond to the what the Bible says. I can understand though that all this sounds make believe if you haven’t witnessed it. In the subject of people being followers due to their parents and childhood. That is true to a degree, I’m in Sydney and probably half the people I meet at Church are from families whose parents were not Christian. We have a huge Asian population in Sydney, and Asia is considered to be the lowest population of Christian’s outside of the Middle East. We have thousands of Christians from families in Indonesia which is a Muslim country and China which is communist which now has recently government controlled religion. I was involved in the New Age before, my g/f in the video is from a Buddist family, and so was her friend who introduced us. But you’re right that there are still many who want the religion of their childhood to be right. It’s why Jesus said to be born again of the spirit. Which is different to a nominal faith. It works the other way though with atheists too, if people haven’t been taught about God by their parents by 14 years old they often resort to what they have always known. There are videos on here of people recording healings, which I will post. The reason why God makes it so personal is because he is personal God who wants relationship with us. He gives us free will so we can love him not out of compulsion. If God appeared in the sky or if you are commanded to follow God from birth like in Islam and Hinduism then you are just a robot. We believe that God wants real love based on free will which involved having a choice. Yes, I can imagine some of the stories of conversion and miracles arn’t true, the Bible talks about wolves in sheep’s clothing who come to deceive, who aren’t following God and only want to cause confusion. An encounter with God is very distinguishable from wishful thinking because it’s really powerful, it’s changed the most hardened criminals. The Apostle Paul in the Bible was traveling to murder Christian’s in Damascus and he had an encounter with Christ which changed him so radically that he ended writing 1 third of the New Testament. But again I appreciate that you don’t see this as facts or tangible evidence. You caring about the truth is a really good place to be, you very lucky actually. Because most truth seekers end up at Christ. The problem is when someone doesn’t care about truth. ‘If God doesn’t reveal himself to you, then either way I win’ I didn’t think of it like that, but you still have nothing to lose by trying. If when you eventually die and God is real you can’t say that you didn’t try. No not raised as a Muslim or Hindu, I was raised in the Christian country with one parent who was Christian. Yes we celebrated Christmas, and for your information the Easter bunny is real ok 😁 Logically though I could be just as likely to be an atheist like my Dad. I actually went into the New Age though. I know many people from non Christian countries. Also, I might add that Christianity is on the decline in the west but growing rapidly in non Christian countries like China and Iran resulting in it growing at the same pace as the world’s population. But you still make a good point mate, there are many Christians who become Christian because of their upbringing. I pray to that ‘particular God’ because of the encounters I have had.

@@Bill_Garthright (Part 3/3) You say that he doesn’t reveal himself to people and that it’s just my opinion and that it’s really weak. What’s your evidence of this? It’s your opinion based on your experience, similar to the basis for my reasoning. Regarding atheists giving up Christianity because of a lack of an encounter, and that why would they give up on Disney land? For a start Disney land is a rip off lol. Bad jokes aside I would say that many of them are looking in the wrong place. If says in the Bible to seek and you will find. If you keep seeking with your mind and then you keep hitting a brick wall maybe try a different approach. I saw a story of a guy who was in a similar position and he went to live in a monastery where he met God. Another person might have to fast for a few days, another person might have to forgive someone that really hurt them, another person might have to go to Church which has a lot of encounters and be around people who have the experiences. Often, people in their pride double down and then reject the faith all together because they didn’t have it their way. I feel their frustration but ultimately it’s not about them and what they want. God created them and is in charge and he does what he wants. You may not believe me based on your experience which is understandable. Religions survive for a multitude of reasons but one of them is hope as you say. You say it’s just delusion but that’s your opinion, a lack of evidence is not the evidence of lack. You keep saying that it’s up to us to prove to you, I have an obligation to share the gospel with you. It’s actually up to you to seek and find. I get your frustrations but please try to keep an open mind. Evidence for what happened in the Bible. The religion doubled every 10 years for the first 300 years post Christ, despite it being illegal and despite their being no complete Bible. It blew up by the power of the Holy Spirit which is recorded in the book of Acts which is after the Gospels (I’ll post a link). The same Holy Spirit that is working today that leads people to Jesus. So regardless of the Bible, the religion started and was powered by the Holy Spirit and encounters with Christ. The Bible same later for many reasons such as to unify the Churches and believers. The notion that people are only Christian’s because of their culture and parents wouldn’t apply if it were illegal where Christian’s were being hunted and murdered. Christian’s were being murdered by the Romans, burnt alive on crucifixes in Rome, then were even blamed for the fire in Rome in Ad 65 and where the apostle Peter and the gospel writer Mark were murdered for it. Nearly all of the disciples were murdered, even Jesus’s brother believed he was the Christ. Despite an illiterate society where writing anything down was very expensive (one of Paul’s letters cost a years pay in material) This is all documented by historians and at the time as well which you can find if you research. I’ll post as many links as I can find today in the time I have. Thank you for your questions mate.
