Alot of people operate on the assumption that God judges us by weighing our good vs our bad deeds. God's word tells us that His standard is absolute perfection. When we understand the expectations it is easier to grasp that we all fall short.
Indeed!
Nice profile pic 👍
So god created us sinful and condemned. And knows that billions will then suffer eternal torment just for existing, let alone how they may have acted in their life. Is that a just and/or loving god?
@@johnelliott5859 No Sir! God created us perfect, and we were meant to live forever. He also created us with free will, because love isn't love if it isn't given freely and by choice. Adam and Eve chose to ignore God's command, and that's when death and suffering entered the world. It wasn't created by God. It was created by man's disobedience to God. There will come a time when the entire cursed earth will be purified by fire, and all of the heavens and the earth will be made new, and the people there will be perfect and eternal as our creator intended. I pray that I see you there. ❤️
@@floydhill9265 so an all knowing, all powerful god created a world where he knew man would fall and earth would come into the world and many would be condemned to eternal torment. God created all the conditions for man to fall knowing he would. Oh yeah and he's all loving and all good too!
The love god demands is not love freely given but blind obedience with the risk of eternal torment hanging over our heads.
You may want to catch up on the parts of the bible that clearly describe god as far less than perfect being.
It's like you get knowledge a ship is sinking or a building is on fire and you're trying to alert a skeptic who has no desire to seek to truth of the matter for themselves. "Let's see who wins" is a heartbreaking answer.
"It’s not too late until it’s too late."
How I pray all witnessing encounters went like that😅
Awesome video
Anger is the wrong word because there is righteous anger that God has. Hate / unforgiving / desire of revenge is as murder. You can dislike someone but still have compassion which is loving our enemies.
He steals things, but he also purchases things. I didn't realize it works like that. Good to know.
This guy is real nice, but it makes me sad inside. I don't want him to suffer, but I also can't make him believe.
Also, the thing about Jesus bursting into the courtroom and taking whoever's place, saying stop, I love this man is just one of the most beautiful ways to see His love for us. It's weird how it can sometimes be hard to love God when He makes it so easy. I mean, he literally sacrifices everything he has to save us. And we don't even deserve it. Literally after all we've done, He still loves us.
So I am born into that courtroom, just for being born.
@@johnelliott5859 yes
yeah from his answer I am sad too. He was so close, I just hope he has a conversion in his life.
@@johnelliott5859 wdym?
@@user-oq7ub4el1d christian theology teaches we are born as sinful. So using the wretched analogy, we are born into the courtroom, already convicted. Condemned for simply existing. That is an awful doctrine, imho.
I love WRETCHED. BUT, I hate the fact that you turn off the comment section in many of your videos.
The Thing is getting too know the Lord and walking with him is a relationship not religion
Did I miss Todd telling the unsaved guy that his crap shoot when he loses takes him to Hell for all eternity?
Noone is without Sin... God did give us his son and while dying on the cross Jesus said, Father forgive them they know not what they do... God gave us all free will, we all make choices... The only thing he asks is to devote your life to him... do we falter, absolutely... do when we falter give up and continue to sin, no, we get up, because every single day is a new beginning... if you have remorse and ask for forgiveness he is listening always... The rest is up to you... staying on that path can be a challenge asking for his guidance, knowledge, grace, strength and compassion to doing the right things daily are always welcome...
Grace, Mercy and Gratitude for his Devine Forgiveness and Love...💛💫💛
He is intellectually smart and consistently using his mind to deny spirituality. 😮😢😮
I didnt know McConaughey became a street preacher
Alright alright alright
Imagine burning for eternity because you stole some Yu-Gi-Oh cards when you were a kid
Imagine burning for eternity.
Imagine a god who thought that was a just punishment.
@@johnelliott5859 I mean, it is just considering he is all just and all powerful, so his punishments will be crueler than a judge or a parent because he has a higher authority.
@@RayBooM_ your reasoning is entirely circular. So a higher authority by necessity must be cruel? Don't think so. Is he not all loving as well? The god you idealize is not real. He can't be al powerful all knowing and all loving but condemn billions to eternal torment.
Imagine the only thing you ever did wrong was steal Yu-Gi-Oh cards when you were a kid.
Layed
Sorry he played his own life down
I'll tell you what the difference is between religious people and donkeys. A donkey is a really simple creature, not a lot of neurons firing upstairs. They can be led around for hours simply by tying a carrot to a stick and adjusting it so that the carrot is just out of the donkeys reach. But even with it's most basic and rudimentary intelligence, the donkey is still capable of determining when there is no carrot.
Why does dying for us absolve us of our sins? It doesn't change the fact that we broke the law, so I don't think it makes us any less guilty.
Because God said he will not see your sins IF you BELIEVE that Jesus is the son of God . If God said that , that’s how it is.
The blood that was shed in the cross was for you. It covers all our sins.
@@kevinlopez7360 So if I believe that Jesus is the son of god I can sin as much as I want?
@@cheshire1 even Satan believes that Jesus is the Son of God. But Satan hates Jesus, so it is more than believing. I believe that water will quench my thirst, so what? I would die of dehydration if I only believed. There must be a commitment to take action and drink it, for it to work. In the same sense, it is FAITH in Jesus, the taking in of Him, that is needed. Faith is getting to know Jesus enough to trust Him. If you know Jesus, you will understand the love He has shown you…the promises He has offered you, the wisdom He shares…So what I am getting at, if you are truly a genuine Christian, saved by grace through faith alone, our love for Him, is enough that we TRY NOT TO SIN. We don’t want to hurt the one we love. We want to make Him as proud of us as we humanly can, all because we love and WANT to please Him. It is not his dying that absolves you of your sins. It is ‘accepting’ His death as a gift, He paid for your crimes. If you believe this, you will be so grateful, you will want to honour Him.
@@cheshire1 No you must repent of your sins and deny your flesh, it's not a blank check to live in carnality and wicked sin. Evidence of faith will be a turning away from your sin and actually despising it. That's the Holy Spirit working in you. Sanctification is a lifelong process.
To recap. This (seemingly nice guy) what's GOD to chose him. But, he will not chose GOD😔. I will pay for him to see the flaw in that🙏.
Sorry brother we did not kill Jesus Christ he played his own life down because he loves us also because he was also God I don't think humans could kill him hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Thought crime 🤦🏻♂️ god created us and created sin knowing we would sin because he knows the future. Now he wants to punish us for how he created us?? Thank god there is no evidence for him.
It’s called a free will , he doesn’t force anybody to believe him it’s up to you but once it’s judgment day don’t say nobody warn you not going to rest in heaven but rather burning in hell eternally plus the “ evidence “ that he exists is the fact he sent his only Son Jesus on earth so he can heal others and let them see that he himself is real and the other evidence is he died on the cross for our sins and rose up after 3 days . None humans can’t die and rise back up in case you did not know that I can’t tell your intelligence based on this question you asking
@@rahelly1858 he knows the future so he already knows what we will do. Free will means WE don’t know what we will do…but he does. Because he knows everything. Or……it’s a silly story designed to scare people and bribe them with the promise of eternal life so they join the cult. Take care 👍🏻
@@999everlong also his the perfect one not us ofc we’re going to make mistakes but making mistakes doesn’t make you a non believer not knowing God makes you one.
@@rahelly1858 he knows the future so he knows who will believe and who won’t when he creates us! Why would a god judge you because he didn’t convince you he’s real. If he created me and knows everything then he knows what would convince me and what wouldn’t. It’s a silly story that bribes you with the promise of eternal life 🤦🏻♂️ if your god is real…he’s a monster that isn’t worth anyone’s time
@@999everlong I’m not gonna argue with a person that has mind up their mind that heaven and hell isn’t real you will see for yourself when your burning and nobody is hearing you good day. My God is the only way don’t disrespect us .
How is murder a sin yet more people have been killed in the name of God than anyone else?🤔
Thats not true actually. According Encyclopedia of Wars, only 7% of the 1763 recorded wars in history were fought on religious grounds and that includes all religions. However, Atheist leaders (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Lenin, etc.) killed at least 110 million people (according to the BBC War Audit) in the 20th century alone. This is more than all religious wars in the previous 19 centuries combined. When you take out an objective authority (God) people will justify their actions because they are not looking to a higher standard than themselves. They being to act like a god.
Going back to the 7% of religious wars, we cannot blame God for what man does. We are all sinful and people will use anything including the Word of God to get what they want. How is the God's fault?
because of the government not the religion
Actually that's false. In the Encyclopedia of Wars out of 1,763 known conflicts, 6.87% was due to religion. Stop the lies.
@@twingoody7306 Due to and enforced by are different things. Religion has and always will be used as a way to rule over people and enforce the current politics of the era. Religion is not typically the reason for war but it's used to justify and support almost every conflict throughout history.
It's the people that corrupt the word of God, not God himself
So if God knows some people would go to hell, how is that just unless he is unknowing, I can forgive people just for the sake of forgiveness, but I don’t have to sacrifice myself/a family member to forgive someone lol. God sounds like a sadistic killer to me. At the end of the day, it’s just a book written by nomads that barley knew how the universe worked.
Gods needs priests to do the things they cannot do!
Because they simply do not exist and priests need a way to make money!
Every religion takes money.... follow the money and discover the real truth!.There is just so much wrong with faith, I am absolutely dumbfounded that billions of people still are totally convinced faith is a virtue; a gift.
It would not be possible to even invent a more flawed, dishonest, reality-evading and cowardly method of epistemology as faith--which is:
.. is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
.. is pretending to know things you don't know.
...is belief without evidence
...is called faith, because it's not knowledge
...Faith is the purposeful suspension of critical thought.
...is having the ability to believe any lie you tell yourself to sustain your belief and hold that as a badge of honor.
...is a commitment to avoid questions you should be asking yourself about your beliefs.
..tells you it is the will of God to have you be as dishonest and cowardly as you have to be to sustain belief in Him.
...is when being devoted and committed to where sustaining a belief in God always trumps dishonesty, ignorance and cowardice
and I still feel I haven't hit the head of faith as viciously and as painfully as it deserves to be hit.
Faith requires one to throw away logic and reasoning. Faith tells you to believe, when all evidence tells you the opposite.
Faith is the belief you have in something when you don't have the evidence to show that it's true. Faith means you can't find the evidence to prove your point or that you are too lazy to do the research required to prove your point. You just accept without any real evidence. Faith is when you give up on the truth. Faith is not a path to finding truth. Therefore, faith is indistinguishable from gullibility...
In a biblical sense faith means trust. Trust in the god that proved himself as god. Not in something I don't know if it's there, but it would be nice if so.
That's why the ten commandments start with: I am the lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Apart from that: All is faith. All you can know is that you know nothing.
The only true science is math, as it defines every aspect it investigates beforehand. You have faith in scientists, traditions, your eyes and ears, and your mind. You cannot operate without faith.
God gives us good reason to not trust Him
even if you obey him he will still allow you to be tortured
go look at what he did to Job
biblically faith does NOT just mean trust
the story of Thomas demonstrates this
he must believe something absurd and goes against common observation
to be saved ????
it's like deciding to be saved
you have to believe the earth is flat
it's one contrary to observation
and two absurd to based human salvation on such a concept
@@darcevader4146 Thomas saw and talked to a friend who was brutally tortured and murdered before his eyes and was resurrected from the dead. And witnessing that shall be an absurdity?
Of course: Faith is also a decision. If you don't want to believe, there is nothing one can do to make you. The question is: why?
Do you really love sin so much?
@@herr.schmidt You believe Thomas talked with the risen Jesus
Because "the bible tell you so"
you don't have evidence for this
so you take your faith as evidence
the story of Thomas was invented to criticize people for demand evidence
Thomas is criticized for demanding proof
this is because Faith demand you believe something despite the evidence
by offer you rewards or punishment for belief the story is trying to manipulate you into rejecting an inconvenient truth and believing a comfortable Lie
I find it hilarious (though slightly sad :( )
the lies people tell themselves to dismiss another's point it's so funny how Christians cherrypick Jesus they don't like the walk a mile in an others shoes part
I don't love sin I hate sin
I just see being gullible as being a sin
if God is just he would destroy Christians for being so gullible for having faith in him
@@darcevader4146 I don't understand the Thomas story as a criticism of people who need proof to believe. Nor do I recall hearing such an argument from people of faith. But maybe that is just my experience.
Your assumption of having to believe uncritically and without proof does not fit Jesus or the God of the Old Testament. The Bible consists to a large extent of the description of the supernatural intervention of God, from which the reader recognizes the divinity.
What do you believe in, without being gullible?
Yeah but I mean when you say "God" looks into your heart and tabulates your "sins" in this little scenario, you know that's not true right? Just like there's no Santa making sure you're a good little boy or you don't get toys, there's no God to judge you when your life ends. It's kid stuff, really. You know that though don't you Todd?
Nope, God is real, He’s like the most real one, in fact He created us, so not only does He exist but is rather the blueprint for all creation. Now you know
@@radiorebel4751 yeah but he doesn't though, and he isn't. At least, the evidence doesn't support those statements. Your naked assertion doesn't really change any of that. Beyond his existence or lack thereof we haven't even touched whether the Supreme creator of an entire universe cares if you think about someone with lust.
Unlike Santa Claus, there is historical and archaeological evidence of Jesus’ existence. Even if you don’t believe in him. Dismissing him as a mere myth or fairy tale is disrespectful to those who believe in him. And everyone wants to be respectful right? Just be like the atheist in this video.
@Tryful ツ there's historical evidence of St. Nicholas not sure what you're talking about. He and Jesus were just people. I said there's no gods, I made no claim about there being no rabbi named Yeshua bin Joseph. And no, I have no respect for ideas, I have respect for people. Jesus being a god-man is a myth.
Can you please make an argument for God and Christianity without the Bible or at the very least acknowledge that God cannot be all knowing and powerful? Any all powerful being would have spread his word exactly, without question if he would then judge people based upon his word. A thousand year old book with numerous contradictions and archaic laws surely would not be the best way to spread your word. I find it impossible for God's word to be absolute yet so open to interpretation and the changing of culture. The old testament condones genocide and slavery yet either would be sins.
1. Argument for God and Christianity without the bible
-Kalam Cosmological
-Ontological
-Teleological
-They’re all inductive arguements that don’t PROVE God, but do make a good arguement for him.
2. Free will is the reason God allows his word to be corrupted, because ultimately we know God’s true will in natural law
