Yes, ok. But, as far as I can determine, he has always been very factual and verifiable within all his videos. He sensibly and methodically completely debunks most, if not all, of the stories and fables brought by christians relating to Jesus and creation. He very effectively shows how abiogenesis has taken place and that evolution is a verifiable fact. End of. How he looks and sounds, to me at least, is fairly irrelevant. The first one to a point, is up to him and the second one, mostly isn't. It's the content to me that's important. (Plus, how do u know what 70's porn music sounds like? ) Lol.
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life…….
Whenever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand! Jesus is returning to judge the living and the dead! Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!

In an argument about the historicity of Jesus, I tried to make this same point, at which point I was accused of goalpost shifting. I tried to explain, if you attempted to prove Spiderman was real, but he didn't sling webs, was never bit by a radioactive spider, wasn't named Peter, his gf wasn't Maryjane, etc. How is Spiderman still real if none of the attributes you associate with Spiderman are accurate? At what point is the statement falsifiable?
Irving Ceron To confirm historical rulers is easier. Their claims are more believable and do not require as much evidence. There's no real reason for people who wrote about them to lie. However. People lie for religion constantly and quite vigorously. So, it is much more plausible someone would lie to protect the faith. I deal with YEC all the time. Their beliefs are rooted in logical fallacies. To say my Spiderman analogy is a false equivallence is laughable. It shows you have a clear cognative bias if you think it's fallacious. Whether Spiderman is a moral figure is completely irrelevant to the point being made. If you think Jesus and everything in the bible is completely historical and 100% confirmed by unbiased historians you really have done no research on the topic at all, which is to say, you are the YEC of this scenario.
+Irving Ceron You cannot demonstrate that Jesus was not also purely fictitious. Some historians think he may have existed as a real person, but not be anything more than a schmuck with no miracles, which is closer to the first gospel and already proving Jesus of the bible pure fiction from a certain point of view. That does not mean the overwhelming majority of historians who think this to be true is in a similar proportion of the number of biologists who agree on evolution. For one, there is no plausible evidence for creationism. There is no plausible explanation of the evidence to fit a creationist point of view by any qualified biologist. There are several qualified historians with several plausible explanations for Jesus being only myth turned historical. This was very common of the time. If Jesus, a real person, existed, he would be the only one of this type of story to be based on a real person, which is used many times in stories around the region, most predating Jesus's time. Which means Spiderman explanation is completely legitimate. The only way it's fallacious is if you can prove Jesus of the bible 100% accurate, which you can't do. The fact that Spiderman is undisputed as fiction does not negate my point at all. The point was the attributes of a person is what makes the person. Real historical figures may have lies about them, but since no one thinks Rasputin can fly or whatever does not erase his actual accomplishments which he is actually known for. Now if Rasputin was famous for his flying, then I would say Rasputin did not exist either. A leader who did things may have existed, but a flying Rasputin is fictional. Furthermore, if there were historians who thought Rasputin were fictional and had evidence of flying Rasputin had rational explanations I would much sooner believe the rational explanation.
Irving Ceron False equivalence maybe, but what if there was a man that the character Jesus was based on? If he didn't say the things he was purported to say, didn't perform any miracles, didn't fit the description in the bible, wasn't born of a virgin birth, wasn't divine, wasn't born or died on the specified days, wasn't crucified, didn't rise from the dead, most the people who were purported to have known him didn't exist, Jesus/Yeshua wasn't his name (or he might as well have been named Fred), and more than 99% of the story was embellished, or exaggerated for dramatic effect or to fit prophecy -- then what? Might as well pick a Hebrew name out of a hat, and that would be the confirmed historical Jesus. Besides I prefer archaeology over history any day. At least a historian would have to be forced to concede to the evidence of archaeology (or lack of), and not just use the popular opinions of his/her peers.

@@skylinemusik1 Ok.... in the source material used for the current New Testament or to validate it, such as Josephus, there are many different people named Jesus aside from the main protagonist Jesus Christ that are mentioned, estimates in the 20s+ (Jesus son of Damneus, Yeshua (Jesus) bar Abba (Barabbas)) Yeshua bar Abba is especially problematic because Barabbas is the criminal that is released instead of Jesus during the crucifixion. The story of that event has many variants that name Barabbas as Jesus Barabbas (Yeshua bar Abba) so we have 2 people named Jesus being crucified at the same time, and some scholars believe the name of Jesus was removed from Barabbas out of reverence to the name because "The church father Origen said, "In the whole range of the scriptures we know that no one who is a sinner [is called] Jesus." Going even further, the Aramaic name Bar Abba means "son of the father." Very indicative of multiple people/stories being smashed together. The event of choosing between Jesus and Barabbas is symbolic of Yom Kippur where parts of the ceremony include 1 goat being chosen to be given to "the lord" and a 2nd goat being given to "Azazel" or is the "scapegoat") . During this time people usually had 1 name and no surname so they needed titles to differentiate them such as where they were from, who were their parents or relatives, were they baptized members of the church or not, etc etc furthering the problem. There are tons of videos and other resources from highly regarded scholars that can prove this for you.

Probably because the whole video is full of bullshit and historical errors. Aron Ra clearly has no idea what he is talking about on the subject of history, and he demonstrates this every time he opens his mouth to pontificate about it.
It was actually really common back in biblical times for people to claim to be the prophet/son of God. The only difference is Muhammad and Jesus were popular in that belief.
Jesus Christ Glorified Zoroastranism also predicts the appearance of false prophets.Also Jesus did not fullfill the true mission of the Messiah,which is to reunite the jews,make Israel the greatest nations of all time and bring world peace which means that Jesus could not have been the Messiah
Jesus Christ Glorified Jesus Christ Glorified Well the prophecies of Daniel does not talk about the end of times,but about the persecution of the jews by the hand of Antochius IV,yet after his death,the Messiah did not come and judgement day did not happen.The writer of the prophecies in the book of Daniel(because there are two authors for this book,the 1st who wrote Daniel 1-Daniel 6 and the 2nd author Daniel 7-Daniel 12)was a jew who lived during the event of the persecution of the jews and thought that he was living in the end of times,so he wrote history in a symbolic way,and added them to the book of Daniel in order to make them sound prophetic.Now to come back to the real issue,the Messiah was said that he would be a king,will reunite the jews,and will lead many wars.Did Jesus did anything of that?No he didn't.So Jesus was not the Messiah the old testament talks about.
Jesus Christ Glorified Dude as I told you,yes Daniel does talk about judgement day,but the events that Daniel already happened(the massacre of the jews during the reign of Antochius IV),yet there was no judgenent day and ressurection of the dead at the end of this event like Daniel said.Now about the Messiah,read Isaiah 11:11-12 andJeremiah 23:8; where it says that he will bring back the jews to Israel,read Micah 5 where it says that the Messiah will be born in Betlehem and he shall deliver the jews from the Assyrians.If this passage was talking about Jesus,then Jesus should have besn born in Betlehem,but also fight the Assyrians which he didn't do because the Assyrians were long gone when Jesus was born,meaning that this passage does not talk about Jesus in any way which makes Jesus not the Messiah of the old testament.

Many other Messiahs (who can't be true if Jesus was) also were willing to suffer death as were their followers for the belief that they were the Messiah. People supposedly saw them perform miracles too, which destroys the claim that the stories of Jesus have to be true because there were witnesses to his miracles and why would they lie.

I see you discovered Irving Finkel’s ark. For anyone who doesn’t know who he is: Irving Finkel is a curator at the British Museum who discovered that the clay tablet someone brought to the museum for assessment contained an earlier flood story. After the museum obtained the tablet, further examination revealed the story contained building instructions for a round ark, like a coracle. On TH-cam you can find a lecture by Finkel with footage from the documentary about building this boat. Very informative and full of British humor.

I read that article you wrote. The best line was "At that time, witnesses who believed in such things had to be dismissed as mentally incompetent. Now they can be leading candidates in the GOP." _~standing ovation~_
I'm trending towards agreeing with Carrier's take. It's no coincidence that the first writings about Jesus didn't appear until after 70 CE - he was invented to serve as a theological replacement for the sacrifices which had been performed at the Temple, but could no longer be performed after the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.
My favorite quote about a god comes from Epicurus - Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
According to the New Testament: Jesus was a wandering, delusional Jewish preacher who criticized the authorities, orchestrated his own crucifixion and blamed it on me.
And by the way. Almost every culture on earth has recorded proof of a flood or deluge if you will. I very highly doubt they were all making it up. What it narrows down to is that this channel is race bait targeting Jews. This man isn't atheist. He is anti-Semitic.
You all are missing the point, he says that Jesus in reality was a genius who tricked the masses into worshipping him. Lmao lots of cultures have flood myths especially in the Fertile Crescent. Sometimes called monsoon season, like “lightning was caused by Zeus” same shit. Also if there was a flood that killed everyone but those on Noah’s ark, there should be just the Christian religion but alas it’s the youngest of the modern religions. Ironic actually. It’s just pathetic

In a conversation with my mother I asked her once whether she thinks Jesus was real. Not just "some schmock" named Jesus of Nazareth who got cruzified by the Romans, no but the Jesus who did actual Jesus things and said actual Jesus stuff, so that "glorified" person. She said that, even if he did not exist, she'd still believe in Christianity, because even if fictional, Jesus was such a very wise man, wiser than anyone else, that he's the equivalent of being the real Son of God. That was a rather unexpected response, I must admit. When I later challenged her and said that propably, with the exception of Paul and maybe Peter, none of the apostels can be confirmed to be historical persons either... she totally lost her shit: "Now the apostels are not real too? Get outta here, I have no time for your bullshit. What websites have you been surfing again? Do you believe everything they say on the internet?" O..M..G. That reaction left me thunderstruck. As if the apostels were more important than Jesus... xD True story.
+Pasxali K I'm curious to know why your mom thinks Jesus was wiser than anyone else...remind me again what exactly has Jesus done? I mean...teachings like "love your enemies" and "be kind to the poor and needy" are all good and all...but frankly Chinese philosophers came up with that independently 200 years before Jesus did. And also - my 6-year old daughter was able to tell me that it's important to be kind to others even without reading the bible...so I honestly don't see what's the big deal about Jesus...

Anyway, you really didn’t answer my question about the “J” in Jesus during the 2020 year claimed. It was NOT in any way a letter or name used in Aramaic or Hebrew. That’s a big deal. WHY is the name Jesus used??? I’m certainly NOT claiming the figure known as Jesus didn’t exist, but perhaps really possessed another name. I’m aware of names as Yeshua & a few others but it is literally nonsensical to me for writers of scripture to call him Jesus. Ironically, every single time I get the “close” that... Jesus really existed there is NO logical and demonstrative answer. It’s always: “The name doesn’t matter or we’ll it’s in the Bible!” I find it absolutely illogical to profess this as truth when it has no basis in fact or historical record. I love the teachings of Jesus for the most part, but I’m starting to think that believers are more emphatic to believe in believing rather than examining with a discerning mind. I thank you and for the record I trust in The Creator Most High. Respond if you are so compelled. Thx again. Deano

So, are you suggesting that the name “Jesus “ doesn’t matter now? I don’t care what Jehova Witness say. I’m talking about Christianity. Hell yes the name JESUS matters!!!!!

@@rtanidean4931 There are many different beliefs from each Christian church and is biased upon region to region. The Bible has always been loosely interpreted from person to person, church to church. I view the Bible as more of a teaching of morality and faith from stories that are more myths. From my church, Mormon church, the scriptures is full of metaphors but also has stuff that has to be taken as it was written, which is more confusing and cherry picking. For me just use the Bible as one big metaphor and learn and grow from what you take out of it. If you truly must take the book as 100% fact then you also believe in magic and time is not a constant flow for us humans.
Minisith Unknown Fair enough. But I never said I needed 100% facts! I’ve been studying the Bible (many of them) but in particular the KJV (1611ad) for over 40 years.

I don’t find “faith” to be anything more than an excuse for lacking tangible evidence. Understand, I have had many supernatural experiences in my life. I’m not discounting that.

It’s absurd to suggest that only religions bring moral compass and fortitude. I do thank you for point out & wish you every blessing and happiness in our existence experience. Deano
The fun fact is, King Arthur's tale bares so many parallels to the Jesus story that many speculate whether King Arthur is based off the common format that transcends throughout multiple theologies: • 1 King/Savior/Diety • 12 Disciples or followers • Brings about enlightenment However, on theology, it has even more parallels: • Resurrection • Immaculate Conception • Crucifixion And many more. I know he covers that with theology, but King Arthur's legend also seems to be a story that bares much likeness to these various "saviors" within mythology.
Consider Vercingetorix. something similar happend there. image how it would have impacted the gaulish people when their champion was slain. same formula different people.
Another fun fact: English King Henry VII's eldest son Arthur was Henry's heir apparent, but the future King Arthur died in 1502 at the age of 15 and his younger brother, Henry, became King Henry VIII in 1509.
I actually think it's a lot like the story of the Mormon church's beginnings used in Hitchens' book. Jesus and Christianity in general are both the remnants of a con job which eventually became more than it was meant to be. In the case of Jesus, he never existed as Christians think of him today. Whether or not there was a historical person named Jesus is irrelevant.
I tend to think that Jesus went east during his early adulthood, fell in and learned from some Buddhists and then returned to try to minister to people - while being very careful to couch his sermons and parables in the popular religious metaphor of the day. And the Romans that put this whole religion on the map a few centuries later missed that part.
Aron, a voice like yours needs a better mic. I would personally recommend the Shure SM7B. Let that baritone tingle the ears of your audience, like Seth does.
Here's an example where we know who is the real person behind the tale: Santa Clause. Of course, when you look at bishop Nicholas of Myra, there is actually very little he has in common with Santa Clause. That's what happens when you build a myth from an earlier myth based on an even earlier myth based on a real person - the fictional elements replace the factual elements. (And I am not even certain how well the story of the bishop corresponds to what he actually did in the first place.)
+Kai Henningsen The idea that Santa Claus is somehow derived from Nicholas of Myra and then just had stuff added onto it is just ridiculous. The myth has so much of Norse mythology in it that you'd get a better explanation if you just leave that character out entirely.

@Kenneth Liburd The Christian Hell was a creation after Jesus's death. In the earlier Hebrew telling, Jesus didn't mention Hell, he was talking about separation from his Father and possible destruction of your very being. The parable we see with the man in Hell asking for a drop of water was added in later. Closest to Hell the Hebrews had was Sheol which is the Grave and non-existence originally and then it morphed to be the trash fire outside the walls which was used to represent the destruction you faced if you were unrepentant, not torture, obliteration.
Absolutely brilliant. Finally, someone who is intelligent enough to tell it like it really is. Thank you AronRa. By the way, this is the first I've ever heard of you and I see some binge-watching for me in the not-so-distant future.

You never see non-believers (n/bs) invading believers' (bv's) spaces becuz we feel the unerring need to save your soul. I have EVERY right to my opinion w/out the fear of retribution by some1 who happens to have a different belief! That's like my pinning a flatearther to the ground & not letting them up until they acquiesce to my way of thinking. That action has "insane" written all over it. As does yours to my innocent statement...which wasn't judging any1 btw. So back-off, Jack. It's called "the opening of a learning conversation." You should check it out sometime. I merely expressed a "feeling" I had into what I thought was an open forum. I guess that isn't how things r done in your world, which is very close-minded of you.
@@jjphank I don't know if you've poked your head out of your bible long enough to notice, but we are currently living in hell right now. This entire planet is suffering from a "man-made" virus causing thousands to die & many more who wish they were. How could a God allow this kind of suffering to happen? Too many incredibly bad things happen to God-fearing pple all the time, so don't tell me that this is his plan. He does not exist...period...end of story...fairytale or not. Why does it matter to you what happens to me? Get off your pious horse & let pple live the way they choose. Nothing in my life is up to you, nor should it be. The very fact that you felt the urge to tear my incredibly innocent post down is insulting. Worry more about your own life & leave everyone else's to themselves. I don't need you saving me from anything, nor did I ask you to. It's very clear to me that the only one believing in fairytales is you.

@@texasranger6490 To which they may posit another reason why they fell. The ignorance doesn't even end with the witnessing of death itself. That's kind of the whole catch with organized religion. They create intentional reverse loop-holes within their logic that they can always fall back on, no matter the strength of your refutation. They can even word things in such a way that they can still deny suggesting something you directly quote from them. There is no logic we know of to ensure someone like that will be willing to intellectually grow.
I tried to jokingly mock Hispanics in front of a Hispanic mentioning they shouldn't be using such a sacred name as Jesus but he corrected me and said that it was altered, not exactly the same, more of a symbolic homage In real Spanish Jesus has an accent over the u, as a name for people other than Jesus, except to say perhaps that's how they also spell and say Jesus Christ... Not sure as maybe I was getting an explanation from a Spanish speaker that gave precedence to English... So there is this: Jesus Christ: PROPER NOUN 1. (name) a. Jesucristo In the Christian religion, Jesus Christ is the son of God.En la religión cristiana, Jesucristo es el hijo de Dios. b. Cristo Jesús You can find stories about the life of Jesus Christ in the writings of Josephus.Se pueden encontrar relatos sobre la vida de Cristo Jesús en los escritos de Josefo."
@@mickeydrago9401 i think its funny that hispanic people ...from mexico on south were NEVER mentioned in the buybull....YET they are devout followers???????
Whether Jesus was a real historical figure, a chimera of a dozen self proclaimed messiahs, a complete fabrication or a combination of these doesn't matter any more. Believers will believe regardless.
+Deep Ashtray and atheist will reject any evidnece for miracles regadles how strong the evidence is......People like ARONRA are no different from Kent Hovind, they both admit that no amount of evidence will ever change their view, they hate people with different views, and both claim to be 100% sure that there view is correct.
Deep Ashtray any event that can´t occure according to scientific laws. for example resurecting from the dead or walking on wáter would be miracles because according to science these events can´t happen,
Deep Ashtray Well obviously by definition the origin of a miracle has to be supernatural. But you are moving away from my main point. My point is that extreme atheist like Aronra would never conclude that a miracle took place regardless of the evidence in the same way extreme Christians will never conclude that the bible is wrong, even if strong evidence against the bible is presented to them. Do you grant my point yes or no?
Imagination doesn’t claim to have designed perfectly balanced universe. God does. God says he wrote the Bible through insipiration of many very different men. Did they all continue the same imagination in complete perfection. I don’t think so. I don’t take advice from dead people anyways. If they knew all there was to know about the universe and why people do things they would probably figured out immortality before they died. BUT THE FUNNY THING IS LMAO IS THEY NEVER BELIEVE IN IMMORTALITY ITSELF. Haha how are you supposed figure out immortality if you your sole purpose was to spend your all your study’s disproving God. Silly atheists, they don’t realize they are just as sick as every other selfish person in the world and they will die trying to convince themselves.
@@destinationjesuschrist7043 If atheists are sick and selfish, then what are christians? Who started wars in the name of God, who tell people to burn for all eternity, who feel offended by people who just want to make them think. No Atheist has done any of these things, in the name of atheism. If your argument would be: BUT IT WAS THE CHURCH! Then you havent understood the impact, which religion can have on the world.
jokerss jokess I was arrogant in my response, it was ill written. “If atheist are sick and selfish” If you read my the end of my message correctly you would come to understanding that when I said atheist are just as sick and selfish as anyone else. It meant Christians and other humans alike. I didn’t put Christians in there own ring of perfection. Don’t put words in my mouth. Read it again you will see I never claimed Christian as perfect. Atheist don’t have to kill people in the name of atheism to be ruthless murderers, Joseph Stalin killed 60 million. Now let me let you in on a secret. The religious warfare of Christianity came from the ROMAN CATHOLICS. They worship the Virgin Mary over Jesus Christ. They are not Christians and they only consider themselves Christian yet they follow no doctrine of Jesus Christ. That’s why Protestant churches exclude Catholics from being considered Christians. They don’t worship Jesus of Nazareth that was beaten, tortured and flogged by the Caiphus of the Pharisees and Roman leader Pontius Pilate. Then Jesus was crucified for his claim to be God and his power to save mankind from the Sin that each human has in there heart and being. The selfishness and wickedness each person posses that we deserve to die for. So he promised his resurrection was insurance that we would be resurrected as well if we believe on him because he was God in the flesh and lived a sinless life. So after he died they laid him in a rich mans tomb and which fulfilled prophecy written one thousand years earlier and on third day he rose from the Dead and was witnessed by many. 4 Of Jesus disciples had accounts written of what they witnessed which was translated on Greek manuscripts. So we have 4 different accounts of the same story to compare side by side. The book of the Bible is composed of Greek manuscripts from pre 100 A.D writing in century of the life of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour. You Forget that Men Create Wars over Negligence not God. Leave God out of mans evil doing or wrath will come upon you swiftly. You may choose to accept God or Reject him. That is your free will. He will not force you to love him, just like you can’t force a woman to love you. Love can only be freely given.

I wish I could be the fly on the wall during AaronRa's Thanksgiving dinners. The minute his father is done giving grace (prayer) just seeing Aaron immediately going in for the kill with a blistering 5 minute epithet about the Typhoid laced blankets the pilgrims were giving the Natives, followed by the war crimes Christopher Columbus would receive if he were alive during the Nuremberg trials.
In every culture there are similarities in their mythology. Doesn't make it true, plagerism has been around a long time. If only they had the presence of mind to film it on their cell phone we wouldn't have this problem
I have just discovered this gentleman on TH-cam. His arguments and his points are not only very interesting but also very persuasive. Until around 15 years ago I was a very staunch, practicing Catholic. But lost interest and all faith in religion when I began to question everything about Christianity and found it very lacking in truth.
that's the problem my friend you followed religion and not a relationship with your creator. no religion can save you. religions are poisonous to the soul. but to seek and have a relationship with Yahweh is the most wonderful thing to ever experience. I hope you find truth and stop listening to phonies like this guy. what he claims goes against all historical non biblical evidence on Yeshua.
Your understanding, lack of comprehension, made you loose faith in yourself, lost strength / the thirst of doing your biblical research ; therefore, don't blame anyone else, but yourself. Anyway!, you are the one who's going to end up in hell; meaning, it will not affect me, at all. Peace!.
Luis Diaz How do you know this person “followed” religion in favor of a supposed relationship with a supposed god? Also- Aron’s video certainly contains sone errors and misconceptions, but is not incorrect for the majority of statements it makes, and in fact it does go along with archaeological finds. Read the Ugaritic texts, for example.
Juan Torres Claiming an atheist who has reasoned that there is no god simply has flawed logic or is mentally lacking at all is no better than claiming Christians insist on believing in a god for the same reasons.
@@ILoveBonbons1 actually how I know is because he said it in his statement Hannah he was a staunch practicing catholic and lost faith in all religion. I also lost faith in religion but not in my creator God. Thats the issue of many so called Christians they put there faith in their religion or philosophy and completely forget what scripture says that God is not a religion is a relationship . And in fact Archeological evidence has shown that what Aron is saying are partial truths and mostly lies. but we can agree to disagree on that. be well my friend.
Mary: Joseph? Joseph: yeah? Mary: You know how we haven't had sex? Joseph: yeah!? Mary: Well, last night god came to me. Joseph: ...? Mary: I'm pregnant but I'm still a virgin because god did it. Joseph: ......... Mary: Joseph? Joseph: yeah? Mary: You ok? Joseph: jesus goddamned christ!
Mazza P No doubt about you, your face says it all, you are a Spanish man, so we cannot accept anymore from an alien like you! Only an alien like you could right such outer worldly!
Jesus is actually mentioned by ancient writers and historians from that time period. Flavious Josephus, Tacitus, and others talk about Him. Roman officials such as Pliny the Younger wrote letters complaining about His followers. Clearly non Biblical writers and historians from that time period knew that Jesus did exist. They did not view Him as a made up individual. Though they did not follow Him and viewed His followers as troublesome they nevertheless acknowledged His reality.
Those claims have been around a long time, and debunked many times over. When faced with any type of evidence or argument, we should all ask ourselves "are we digging as best we can for the truth, wherever it leads? Are we examining all claims to find out if they were faked, or misrepresented? Or are we taking them at face value because they are comforting and support our position? Are we just using them to confirm our previously held position?" These are very difficult questions to ask ones self, and even harder to answer honestly. But they will help us identify biases in our judgement, so that we can pursue truth.
The depressing part is when you realize to thoroughly discount the Bible nuts you have to read so much nonsense. And if you do take the time to educate yourself you realize the hopelessness of changing the minds of the blissfully ignorant.
Yes likely preserves a lot of the older legends (and difficult to prove beyond that) but given the lost lands were all kin to the Ancient Britons/Celts and resistance was strong in hilled areas, Glastonbury seems as logical as the next place.
listen to real scholars not a phony non scholar that spew ignorance and stupidity. listen to real scholars like Bart Ehrman he is also an Atheist that is 110% sure thatYeshua existed
@@heat305rc you seem to have missed the point. I have read Ehrman, also David Fitzgerald, who believes that the evidence points that it's all made up. The point is that it doesn't really matter if he existed or not, because it doesn't change the fact that the gospels are made up stories, just like the existence of Troy doesn't prove the illiad was a true story. Think about this, we have plenty of evidence to prove that Socrates existed, and he lived four hundred years before christ supposedly lived, and still that doesn't mean that Plato's dialogues are accurate, no reasonable person would believe that
@@ezequielstepanenko3229 it doesn't really matter if Yeshua existed or not? WOW...If He indeed existed it changes everything. Why? because he did things that no human being in history has ever done. Be well my brother and may Yahweh bless you
@@heat305rc if you are going to believe some guy transformed the water into wine, walked on water and multiplied fishes because and old text of dubious source says he did so, you might as well believe some Greek dude fought against cyclopes, laestrygonians and sirens, and meet and seduce goddesses on his way back home, and, more impressively, his wife waited for him for twenty years. There is no reason why you should believe one story over the other. Probably there was a man name Ieshu, or Yeshua, or Yehoshua, probably there were thousands of man name like that at that time in Jerusalem, but why should you believe he perfomed some miracles? For me is not enough to say: because some people said he did. That wouldn't work in a trial, would it?
@@jjphank if you live in the middle east I think you'll see more muslims and "etcs" than christians, so there is a thing about christianity; geography. Archeological research seems to be continually disproving every biblical claim, and advances in sciences like biology and physics are always showing evidence that is contradictory to the claims of an old Jewish mythology book
Regarding your last point, I've always thought it would be amusing for a Jesus to actually return, see what his original cult had exploded into, then proceed to be crucified again for heresy, or some such, because none of the denominations believe he's really Jesus. Just something that makes me chuckle.
one question has never been answered for me, what about Joseph? He gets mention once or twice in the bible, but just think about human nature and how men and women really react. Mary gets knocked up but by who? Mary claims it was the holy ghost, or god's doing, and yet no mention from old Joe feelings. Did Joseph question Mary on how it happened, and we are led to believe Joseph went along with it...would any guy with half a brain go along with this tail? If this were to happen today, we got the makings of a great Jerry Springer show.."My Wife Had an Affair with God"
Joseph and Mary probly had sex before marriage, and pregnancy before marriage was considered enough to call in doubt the parentage of the baby. The whole virgin birth thing was later made up to cover for the baby, so he seemed more perfect and unusual But the likely real story is actually important for his life to see how he would have been shunned by the community; and how he learned to empathize with the downtrodden.
Hi Markus, Joseph was perturbed when he learned of Mary's pregnancy because he wasn't responsible, which could only mean she cheated on him, which was considered adultery punishable by death.
Christian apologists assert, Just have faith that Jesus was real. Next time you’re crossing the street, have faith that a car won’t hit you. Can anyone spell cognitive dissonance?
1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” King James Version (KJV)
Have faith the car wont hit you because you followed the rules of the road crossed at the cross walk after the light turned green .. there s adifference between dumb luck and divine intervention
+AronRa There is no clear consensus. However, Marcan priority is the dominant view. I think it is reasonable to say though that there is not enough evidence to determine conclusively which of the synoptic gospels was written first. The only thing we can say with confidence is that John was written last.
AntiCitizenX I had learned Marcan priority in school, but Wikipedia says that Matthean and even Lucan priority are argued by a significant minority of scholars. And of course how Acts fits into the puzzle is another question. It's all very complicated, especially because there is effectively zero external evidence to go on.
+EebstertheGreat Luke is a proto-Catholic gospel which is just an extended redaction of Marcion's "Gospel of the Lord". Given who Luke is addressed to, likely composition is around 170CE-180CE. Mark and Matthew makes references to the Bar Khoba Revolt in his "little apocalypse" referencing Hadrian erecting a temple to Jupiter on the Temple Mount, hence 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong" Of course referencing Daniel, who was making mention of the statue of Zeus in the Jewish Temple. That puts all modern synoptics in the second centaury. There does seem to be many hints there was a late first centaury synoptic gospel. However it either no longer exists or we have yet to find it. If any gospel was written in the first centaury, it was John, which still are littered with the fingerprints of Gnosticism.
Jesus is: Jewish, the guy who started Christianity, the son of god, a guy in a book, fake, super cool and good at human relations, and very, VERY non-existence.
Even if there was one person, the cult was named after, his name was not Jesus Christ. Jesus is a Latin name, most likely the Latinization of Joshua or Jeshua. And Christ is not part of the Name, but a title, derived from Greek "christos", meaning "anointed". That nowhere in the New Testament the realistic name was used, should give an idea, how much of the content is fictionalized.
I do not find love in god I do not find rest in religion I do not find peace in belief I find contentment in atheism I find comfort in the absence of a higher power I find happiness in knowledge A whole world of possibilities open up When you take off the blindfold

@@rosackoh1959 You've got it all wrong, my friend. You don't know your place in the universe! You don't get to say what is wrong and what is "evil" because it doesn't line up with what you like! When you've crated your own universe, galaxies, stars and planets and populated it with life that you have created, then you can determine what is wrong, what is "evil" and what is sin because it don't conform to your will, plan or desire! But until then, you will be subject to what God the Creator of this universe determines what is wrong, sin and "evil"! So I suggest you look it up and and suck it up and learn what God's will and purpose is and either conform or perish!
As for Hitler being a "Christian".....! it isn't even worth correcting you since you already believe what you want to! Isn't that what atheists do? But if is really that important for you to believe it, then go ahead and believe it all you want. Because that is just the excuse and the justification you need for not accepting the Bible and not believing the Truth. And then you are without blame and there are no consequences for your actions and beliefs. Rest in Peace! Or not! But if you want to know the truth about Hitler and all, then all you need to do is ask! If you are sincere at all!
I have always wondered about the names the Bible gives us for the disciples of Jesus. Simon Peter, James (the Elder), James (the Younger), John, Jude (Thaddeus), Matthew (Levi), Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew (Nathanial), Andrew, Simon, and finally Judas. These names are now, for the most part, basically prominent Anglicized names, seemingly. These people lived in the Middle East where names and the tradition of family names have existed with honor for thousands of years. Why is it that even today, there are virtually no people from the Middle East, Arab or Jewish, Muslim or even Christian, that have such names. Even in the Bible itself, until the New Testament, such Anglicized names did not exist. Since the Bible was written by people with agendas, and has been rewritten and edited for special purposes time and time again, how can anyone use this as nothing more than a collection of fictional moral stories equivalent to those of Aesop's Fables?
+Tawnku Imi-Uru The names are the way they are because it's literature - not history. The Gospels of the New Testament were written originally in Koine Greek. They were not eyewitness accounts. It is possible that they were commissioned by ruling elites serving the Roman State and written as a sort of propaganda story primarily for a domestic audience in and around Rome and only in certain Roman provinces and cities. - impacting outside of these centers to less of a degree than currently assumed (at least in the earlier years (pre-400 AD). Or maybe they were more like the Charles Dickens novels of their time. But then things got out of hand. People use this book in all sorts of very horrible ways. It's a very pesky form of black magick because it presents itself as good and beneficial, but really isn't.
+Tawnku Imi-Uru It does get interesting though if one starts looking at the Gospels as Astro-Theology. Jesus as Sun or 13th (hidden) Sign of the Zodiac (possibly Ophiuchus) and the 12 disciples as the 12 signs of the Zodiac. See DaVinci's Last Supper and Zodiac. Revelation has a very striking Astro-Theological sub-text. It's all syncretism really. Beg, borrow, steal from the Vedas, Egyptian Lore, Sumerian Lore, etc.
+Tawnku Imi-Uru Yes! I have many beliefs about God. My goto is: God is Everything and Every Non-Thing Imaginable and /or Unimaginable. ( I think this puts me in a position wherein I don't place any demands on anyone.) I recognize that I am a limited and bounded creature so I attempt to be sincere in what I can and do know and humble in the face of what I don't or can't know. But I do have a sense that there is something very impressive "out there" that makes existence possible. And if this is the case, then a stance of personal gratitude and complete awe is the most natural emotional state that I can connect to the idea. In terms of theology, what I reject most strongly are the Abrahamic religious traditions that seek to prescribe strict behaviors on people, often through dishonest methods and empty rituals.
Ever since I survived in the "Vietnam games" I've found it even more diffacult to "believe" in any god. "WAR IS HELL" !!

If one can detach their emotions from the subject and focus on the facts and references, they make a stronger case in my opinion, however, people from both sides seem to get easily offended by the other's belief or disbelief and resort to inserting insults, attempting to cut the other person as deep as possible. Typically "Christians" who are insecure in their belief can get really upset, some often contradicting the conviction they claim to live by. Many people who were exposed to major hypocrisy by self righteous and deceived people often are left w/a bad taste in their mouths, completely throwing the baby out w/ the bath water all together. - I am a believer and can appreciate a factual discussion/debate on the subject w/ opposing views. Although I haven't watched all of the presentations from this channel, I wanted to express my respect to those whom are capable of proving their point w/out resorting to insulting those for their religious beliefs or unbelief.

@@istvansipos9940 You do not have to be under the influence of atheists or subjected to their reasoning to reject God even at an early age. We are all "born and conceived in sin". That's how we enter this world; as sinners who are lost! In our natural state, we are "enemies" of God and we cannot see, understand or receive the things of God. It is "foolishness" to us. That's why Jesus urges us to be "born again" of the spirit and be freed for sin and the consequences thereof. The real disease is not cancer; it is SIN and EVIL which is located in our hearts. It's too bad you can't see that.....! Cancer and other diseases are symptoms of the disease of sin and evil. It's not the cause. It is the consequence and the result is death. Not only natural death but eternal death of your soul and your spirit being severed from the source of Life which is God Himself. We do not all suffer from diseases such as cancer. But we all suffer from the disease of sin and evil. Even Christians suffer from cancer and other diseases from time to time. And we all die (eventually). The last enemy Jesus will destroy is death itself. Being a catholic isn't a cure for cancer.....! Jesus is the cure. He is the cure because He cures us of sin and evil. That is His mission and the purpose for which He came. He overcame sin, evil and as a result He could cure people from the results of sin namely illness and disease and why He could raise the dead. That is why we will life forever if we are saved from sin and death! Being a catholic isn't even Christian. They worship Mary and pray to "saints". They have locked up and hidden the truth of salvation away from people for ages. And they still continue to do so! If you reject the "Answer" and the "Cure" then you have no right to complain about the consequences such as cancer, disease, suffering and death! God can destroy all of these diseases in a heart beat and put a stop to all of this suffering instantly! But to do so, He has to destroy, sin and evil that causes all of it. But that means that man whom God wants to help and save will be destroyed with it because man is full of sin and evil and it is part of him. Because God is merciful, He doesn't destroy us with the sin and evil but gives us time and a chance to be delivered from evil and set free from sin before He destroys sin and evil and with it death forever! And we do not drink goat milk where I am from. We have cows for milk and we do not bother with goats very much. As a Christian we are concerned with the "Lamb of God that take away the sins of the world". You can carry on worshiping "the Goat" if you want to but we choose Life! Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Without Jesus there is no life and you will remain dead in your sins. Your soul will die with you in your sins. God is not preoccupied with natural human life. He doesn't save their natural lives just to allow their souls to die and be lost forever!

@@danielcoetzee5793 How do you know? better question: how can you prove it? if a tribal chief from a hot, HOT area does not believe in solid water, I just show him a freezer. no matter how silly it sounds to him, he will accept the solid water "myth" after seeing some ice. ain't that disappointing that we have been searching for millenia now, and we still don't have anything about gods? or the holy book and their contradictions? or the obviously false claims about nature and the universe in those holy books? or the holy books that have versions? try spreading some versions about mere mortals. if they have some might and influence, they'll stop you. but god lets us kill eachother abusing his name? an almighty being lets this happen? an almighty and cruel being, because he waited so many millenia to send his son down here. with that, he automatically denied any chance of heaven for every1 who had lived in pre jesus / pre christian times. the kindest, most caring tribal dude from 9 000 years ago was no good christian, thus he is in hell now. and why does god not use a mindtrick to save the sinners from sins? yeah, I know, he respects our free will. except when he does not. he gave you commandments. so much about free will. he did not mindtrick the leaders of some ancient cities, so they stayed put. then god sent the jews to murder ALL those people. first, he was against the free will of his chosen people (they did not come up with the idea of those sieges) and then the free will of the victims were taken away anyway. those slaughtered people wanted to do something more fun and useful with their day, they sure did not want to be murdered. And if you use only the neo-jew (christian) version, you also find examples for this. I don't remember god asking Mary if she wants a child or not. how rude would that be from a mortal, right? like a doctor impregnating a sleeping woman. but it is OK from an infinitely wise, timeless being. who is somehow never wise or powerful enough to reach any jungle survivor kid with his teachings. those kids return to civilization somehow, and none of them is a jew or a christian or anything. none of the gods reached them because of thick foliage. OR they had no religious adults in their childhood so no brainwashing took place. one of the 2. speaking of brainwashing, that is absolutely needed. because the whole god thing is so ridiculous, the church could base it on fear and fear alone. that's why they came up with the concept of Original Sin. the most infuriating concept of them all. For any sane person who at least once saw a cute toddler. to imagine that those smurfs are sinners just because an unproven, unprovable couple ate a fruit in a magic garden. you drive over the speed limit as a teenager. many years later, you die. many more years later, your great grand kid gets the ticket. the officer, a 20somehing-year-old mortal would be a dity jerk for that. But, again, it is OK from a god. A god who sent his own son to die on a cross. a mortal who beats up a kid (any kid), is a monster. but god is good, although he was more brutal with his OWN son. this faith is brilliant. by the way, it is faith light. dudes in the bible had real faith. - I was talking to god. Alone, of course. - yes, you were, Mosie. you absolutely were. or - kill your son. I am god. - Sir, yes, sir! if a sound or a dude told you such things, you would call the police / ignore him / see a doctor, I hope. which would infuriate god big time, if it was really him / his fella, because how dare you doubt! with faith light only, you obviously do. ain't that funny? you would not believe a real guy (not even a good friend) here and now, but you believe SOME parts of 1 version of 1 book written many centuries ago. based on 0 evidence. while rejecting thousands of other concepts supported by the same amount of evidence.

I'm always amused at the Christians who trot out Josephus as "proof Jesus existed because he was mentioned" by that author. Josephus apparently knew everyone on the planet in his time. He certainly mentions them all. Had there been parades in Jerusalem celebrating a faith healer claiming to be the son of "God", to say nothing of The Walking Dead breaking out following his crucifixion, we would have had an entire book on it, not a pathetic little monk's paragraph sandwiched in between two others on an entirely different subject.

In an argument about the historicity of Jesus, I tried to make this same point, at which point I was accused of goalpost shifting. I tried to explain, if you attempted to prove Spiderman was real, but he didn't sling webs, was never bit by a radioactive spider, wasn't named Peter, his gf wasn't Maryjane, etc. How is Spiderman still real if none of the attributes you associate with Spiderman are accurate? At what point is the statement falsifiable?
+Richard House
Bro, I'm gonna use this logic while discussing this someday.
Irving Ceron To confirm historical rulers is easier. Their claims are more believable and do not require as much evidence. There's no real reason for people who wrote about them to lie. However. People lie for religion constantly and quite vigorously. So, it is much more plausible someone would lie to protect the faith.
I deal with YEC all the time. Their beliefs are rooted in logical fallacies. To say my Spiderman analogy is a false equivallence is laughable. It shows you have a clear cognative bias if you think it's fallacious. Whether Spiderman is a moral figure is completely irrelevant to the point being made.
If you think Jesus and everything in the bible is completely historical and 100% confirmed by unbiased historians you really have done no research on the topic at all, which is to say, you are the YEC of this scenario.
+Irving Ceron So Spiderman isn't real because he's not a moral figure? That's a strangely specific claim.
+Irving Ceron You cannot demonstrate that Jesus was not also purely fictitious. Some historians think he may have existed as a real person, but not be anything more than a schmuck with no miracles, which is closer to the first gospel and already proving Jesus of the bible pure fiction from a certain point of view. That does not mean the overwhelming majority of historians who think this to be true is in a similar proportion of the number of biologists who agree on evolution. For one, there is no plausible evidence for creationism. There is no plausible explanation of the evidence to fit a creationist point of view by any qualified biologist. There are several qualified historians with several plausible explanations for Jesus being only myth turned historical. This was very common of the time. If Jesus, a real person, existed, he would be the only one of this type of story to be based on a real person, which is used many times in stories around the region, most predating Jesus's time. Which means Spiderman explanation is completely legitimate. The only way it's fallacious is if you can prove Jesus of the bible 100% accurate, which you can't do. The fact that Spiderman is undisputed as fiction does not negate my point at all. The point was the attributes of a person is what makes the person. Real historical figures may have lies about them, but since no one thinks Rasputin can fly or whatever does not erase his actual accomplishments which he is actually known for. Now if Rasputin was famous for his flying, then I would say Rasputin did not exist either. A leader who did things may have existed, but a flying Rasputin is fictional. Furthermore, if there were historians who thought Rasputin were fictional and had evidence of flying Rasputin had rational explanations I would much sooner believe the rational explanation.
Irving Ceron False equivalence maybe, but what if there was a man that the character Jesus was based on?
If he didn't say the things he was purported to say, didn't perform any miracles, didn't fit the description in the bible, wasn't born of a virgin birth, wasn't divine, wasn't born or died on the specified days, wasn't crucified, didn't rise from the dead, most the people who were purported to have known him didn't exist, Jesus/Yeshua wasn't his name (or he might as well have been named Fred), and more than 99% of the story was embellished, or exaggerated for dramatic effect or to fit prophecy -- then what?
Might as well pick a Hebrew name out of a hat, and that would be the confirmed historical Jesus. Besides I prefer archaeology over history any day. At least a historian would have to be forced to concede to the evidence of archaeology (or lack of), and not just use the popular opinions of his/her peers.

@@skylinemusik1 Ok.... in the source material used for the current New Testament or to validate it, such as Josephus, there are many different people named Jesus aside from the main protagonist Jesus Christ that are mentioned, estimates in the 20s+ (Jesus son of Damneus, Yeshua (Jesus) bar Abba (Barabbas)) Yeshua bar Abba is especially problematic because Barabbas is the criminal that is released instead of Jesus during the crucifixion. The story of that event has many variants that name Barabbas as Jesus Barabbas (Yeshua bar Abba) so we have 2 people named Jesus being crucified at the same time, and some scholars believe the name of Jesus was removed from Barabbas out of reverence to the name because "The church father Origen said, "In the whole range of the scriptures we know that no one who is a sinner [is called] Jesus." Going even further, the Aramaic name Bar Abba means "son of the father." Very indicative of multiple people/stories being smashed together. The event of choosing between Jesus and Barabbas is symbolic of Yom Kippur where parts of the ceremony include 1 goat being chosen to be given to "the lord" and a 2nd goat being given to "Azazel" or is the "scapegoat") . During this time people usually had 1 name and no surname so they needed titles to differentiate them such as where they were from, who were their parents or relatives, were they baptized members of the church or not, etc etc furthering the problem.
There are tons of videos and other resources from highly regarded scholars that can prove this for you.

It was actually really common back in biblical times for people to claim to be the prophet/son of God. The only difference is Muhammad and Jesus were popular in that belief.
Jesus Christ Glorified Well the historian Josephus talks about many persons who claimed to be prophets or the messiah.
Jesus Christ Glorified Zoroastranism also predicts the appearance of false prophets.Also Jesus did not fullfill the true mission of the Messiah,which is to reunite the jews,make Israel the greatest nations of all time and bring world peace which means that Jesus could not have been the Messiah
Jesus Christ Glorified Jesus Christ Glorified Well the prophecies of Daniel does not talk about the end of times,but about the persecution of the jews by the hand of Antochius IV,yet after his death,the Messiah did not come and judgement day did not happen.The writer of the prophecies in the book of Daniel(because there are two authors for this book,the 1st who wrote Daniel 1-Daniel 6 and the 2nd author Daniel 7-Daniel 12)was a jew who lived during the event of the persecution of the jews and thought that he was living in the end of times,so he wrote history in a symbolic way,and added them to the book of Daniel in order to make them sound prophetic.Now to come back to the real issue,the Messiah was said that he would be a king,will reunite the jews,and will lead many wars.Did Jesus did anything of that?No he didn't.So Jesus was not the Messiah the old testament talks about.
Jesus Christ Glorified Dude as I told you,yes Daniel does talk about judgement day,but the events that Daniel already happened(the massacre of the jews during the reign of Antochius IV),yet there was no judgenent day and ressurection of the dead at the end of this event like Daniel said.Now about the Messiah,read Isaiah 11:11-12 andJeremiah 23:8; where it says that he will bring back the jews to Israel,read Micah 5 where it says that the Messiah will be born in Betlehem and he shall deliver the jews from the Assyrians.If this passage was talking about Jesus,then Jesus should have besn born in Betlehem,but also fight the Assyrians which he didn't do because the Assyrians were long gone when Jesus was born,meaning that this passage does not talk about Jesus in any way which makes Jesus not the Messiah of the old testament.
Jesus Christ Glorified You re comment was supposed to try refute my argument,yet what did you do?You just started complaining because you don't want to aknowledge the truth.And yes,I did mention verses to prove my point,,so what are you going to do?Ignore these verses?Yes you will,because your belief has turned you blind.

Many other Messiahs (who can't be true if Jesus was) also were willing to suffer death as were their followers for the belief that they were the Messiah.

No you have it backwards. It is those of us who understand the bible that see it for what it is. A book nothing more nothing less. Just another book written by men. Not God not men inspired by anything other then a desire to control other men and greed.
People bought thees stories back then because they knew no better. As a whole mankind is no longer that gullible. Oh sure there are still some who can't face their own mortality so they grab a hold of this B.S. Because it tells them they will live forever as long as they kiss gods ass. It doesn't matter what evil you do in live as long as you repent in the end and accept Jesus as your savior. Oh yah and don't forget give lots of money to your church they need more expensive artwork.

@@jjphank What book did you read? The bible i know os pure contradction
I'm trending towards agreeing with Carrier's take. It's no coincidence that the first writings about Jesus didn't appear until after 70 CE - he was invented to serve as a theological replacement for the sacrifices which had been performed at the Temple, but could no longer be performed after the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.

My favorite quote about a god comes from Epicurus -
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent
Is he able but not willing?
Then he is malevolent
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

U think u have the perspective of all and everything. Which created space and time.
According to the New Testament:
Jesus was a wandering, delusional Jewish preacher who criticized the authorities, orchestrated his own crucifixion and blamed it on me.
You idiot!
I don't know what Bible you're reading from
Your a sad human being if that's what you "think." Delusional is how you put it.
And by the way. Almost every culture on earth has recorded proof of a flood or deluge if you will. I very highly doubt they were all making it up. What it narrows down to is that this channel is race bait targeting Jews. This man isn't atheist. He is anti-Semitic.
You all are missing the point, he says that Jesus in reality was a genius who tricked the masses into worshipping him. Lmao lots of cultures have flood myths especially in the Fertile Crescent. Sometimes called monsoon season, like “lightning was caused by Zeus” same shit. Also if there was a flood that killed everyone but those on Noah’s ark, there should be just the Christian religion but alas it’s the youngest of the modern religions. Ironic actually. It’s just pathetic
wow such an interesting set of videos. having been indoctrinated with religion as a child, i find it fascinating to see a more analytical view of the religious texts.

@AronRa thanks for all your work. Been watching you for years, but just became a paying member, keep up your good work. ❤ from España.
In a conversation with my mother I asked her once whether she thinks Jesus was real.
Not just "some schmock" named Jesus of Nazareth who got cruzified by the Romans,
no but the Jesus who did actual Jesus things and said actual Jesus stuff, so that "glorified" person.
She said that, even if he did not exist, she'd still believe in Christianity, because even if fictional, Jesus was such a very wise man, wiser than anyone else, that he's the equivalent of being the real Son of God.
That was a rather unexpected response, I must admit.
When I later challenged her and said that propably, with the exception of Paul and maybe Peter, none of the apostels can be confirmed to be historical persons either... she totally lost her shit:
"Now the apostels are not real too? Get outta here, I have no time for your bullshit. What websites have you been surfing again? Do you believe everything they say on the internet?"
O..M..G. That reaction left me thunderstruck. As if the apostels were more important than Jesus... xD
True story.
+Pasxali K I'm curious to know why your mom thinks Jesus was wiser than anyone else...remind me again what exactly has Jesus done?
I mean...teachings like "love your enemies" and "be kind to the poor and needy" are all good and all...but frankly Chinese philosophers came up with that independently 200 years before Jesus did.
And also - my 6-year old daughter was able to tell me that it's important to be kind to others even without reading the bible...so I honestly don't see what's the big deal about Jesus...
+Pasxali K Why not call them Paulites or Paulists?
They prefer the words supposedly written by him over the ones in the four gosples anyway.
DeletedDelusion Yupp, but don't ever say that Paul is the founder of christianity and not Jesus... that'll piss of a lot of people.
+Pasxali K Wasn't Paulus' real name Simon? Wouldn't they be Simonites then?
+Winston Belgeroth Oh, no that was Petrus wasn't it?! I'm confused I mix all those characters up. :-/
His name wasn't even Jesus! There is no letter "J" in ancient Hebrew 😳
ray salmon Please elaborate. This “j” and the name given “Jesus” is in my studies! I just can’t find accurate sensical verification that the name Jesus could have even existed in that time frame!! Thx for your assistance. D
ray salmon Okay. First, thanks for responding! I’m not so sure about the “militant” narrative you state. Anyway, you really didn’t answer my question about the “J” in Jesus during the 2020 year claimed. It was NOT in any way a letter or name used in Aramaic or Hebrew. That’s a big deal. WHY is the name Jesus used??? I’m certainly NOT claiming the figure known as Jesus didn’t exist, but perhaps really possessed another name. I’m aware of names as Yeshua & a few others but it is literally nonsensical to me for writers of scripture to call him Jesus. Ironically, every single time I get the “close” that... Jesus really existed there is NO logical and demonstrative answer. It’s always: “The name doesn’t matter or we’ll it’s in the Bible!” I find it absolutely illogical to profess this as truth when it has no basis in fact or historical record. I love the teachings of Jesus for the most part, but I’m starting to think that believers are more emphatic to believe in believing rather than examining with a discerning mind. I thank you and for the record I trust in The Creator Most High. Respond if you are so compelled. Thx again. Deano
ray salmon Okay. Help me out here. ???? I’ll go first here. The Holy Bible is claimed to be the inspired word of “God” Right???? Christians say, you must read your Bible. You must accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or you will not be saved. Is this right or do I have the narrative wrong? So, are you suggesting that the name “Jesus “ doesn’t matter now? I don’t care what Jehova Witness say. I’m talking about Christianity. Hell yes the name JESUS matters!!!!! If the very name of the supposed Lord and Savior is wrong, then how could anyone exclaim “absolute truth” in the rest of that scripture???? Come on here! Please don’t double talk or try to dilute my logic. Please, stay on point and answer my question. Thx. D
@@rtanidean4931 There are many different beliefs from each Christian church and is biased upon region to region. The Bible has always been loosely interpreted from person to person, church to church. I view the Bible as more of a teaching of morality and faith from stories that are more myths. From my church, Mormon church, the scriptures is full of metaphors but also has stuff that has to be taken as it was written, which is more confusing and cherry picking.
For me just use the Bible as one big metaphor and learn and grow from what you take out of it.
If you truly must take the book as 100% fact then you also believe in magic and time is not a constant flow for us humans.
Minisith Unknown Fair enough. But I never said I needed 100% facts! I’ve been studying the Bible (many of them) but in particular the KJV (1611ad) for over 40 years. It all keeps coming down to just too many inconsistencies and more so, direct contradictions within these scriptures. I could elaborate, but why. I don’t find “faith” to be anything more than an excuse for lacking tangible evidence. Understand, I have had many supernatural experiences in my life. I’m not discounting that. However, the religious indoctrination’s of these “cults” is more a conventional way to form societal cohesion of doctrines based on punitive outcomes. It’s absurd to suggest that only religions bring moral compass and fortitude. I do thank you for point out & wish you every blessing and happiness in our existence experience. Deano
The fun fact is, King Arthur's tale bares so many parallels to the Jesus story that many speculate whether King Arthur is based off the common format that transcends throughout multiple theologies:
• 1 King/Savior/Diety
• 12 Disciples or followers
• Brings about enlightenment
However, on theology, it has even more parallels:
• Resurrection
• Immaculate Conception
• Crucifixion
And many more.
I know he covers that with theology, but King Arthur's legend also seems to be a story that bares much likeness to these various "saviors" within mythology.
Consider Vercingetorix. something similar happend there. image how it would have impacted the gaulish people when their champion was slain. same formula different people.
@Daniel Paulson I like the way you think, and I agree. That's why I'm no longer religious, although I still practice rituals every now and then.
You do know Einstein, Joshua came 1500 years before King Author.
Another fun fact: English King Henry VII's eldest son Arthur was Henry's heir apparent, but the future King Arthur died in 1502 at the age of 15 and his younger brother, Henry, became King Henry VIII in 1509.
Fun fact, King Arthur was not perfect. Only Jesus.
I actually think it's a lot like the story of the Mormon church's beginnings used in Hitchens' book. Jesus and Christianity in general are both the remnants of a con job which eventually became more than it was meant to be. In the case of Jesus, he never existed as Christians think of him today. Whether or not there was a historical person named Jesus is irrelevant.
I tend to think that Jesus went east during his early adulthood, fell in and learned from some Buddhists and then returned to try to minister to people - while being very careful to couch his sermons and parables in the popular religious metaphor of the day. And the Romans that put this whole religion on the map a few centuries later missed that part.

+AronRa I'm glad you've lowered the background music as well.
Here's an example where we know who is the real person behind the tale: Santa Clause.
Of course, when you look at bishop Nicholas of Myra, there is actually very little he has in common with Santa Clause. That's what happens when you build a myth from an earlier myth based on an even earlier myth based on a real person - the fictional elements replace the factual elements. (And I am not even certain how well the story of the bishop corresponds to what he actually did in the first place.)
this so much
+Kai Henningsen The idea that Santa Claus is somehow derived from Nicholas of Myra and then just had stuff added onto it is just ridiculous. The myth has so much of Norse mythology in it that you'd get a better explanation if you just leave that character out entirely.
+Gnomefro Norse myth? I actually can't see any.
@@Gnomefro that's just your (unjust) opinion. Though some similarities exist, iconographically it's a well studied genealogy from the guy of myra/demre.

Matthew 10:32-33 New International Version (NIV)
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.
@Kenneth Liburd The Christian Hell was a creation after Jesus's death. In the earlier Hebrew telling, Jesus didn't mention Hell, he was talking about separation from his Father and possible destruction of your very being. The parable we see with the man in Hell asking for a drop of water was added in later.
Closest to Hell the Hebrews had was Sheol which is the Grave and non-existence originally and then it morphed to be the trash fire outside the walls which was used to represent the destruction you faced if you were unrepentant, not torture, obliteration.
Absolutely brilliant. Finally, someone who is intelligent enough to tell it like it really is. Thank you AronRa. By the way, this is the first I've ever heard of you and I see some binge-watching for me in the not-so-distant future.

daniel nahum
What do you consider miracles?
Deep Ashtray
any event that can´t occure according to scientific laws.
for example resurecting from the dead or walking on wáter would be miracles because according to science these events can´t happen,
daniel nahum
How would you determine the origin of these supposed miracles?
Deep Ashtray
Well obviously by definition the origin of a miracle has to be supernatural.
But you are moving away from my main point. My point is that extreme atheist like Aronra would never conclude that a miracle took place regardless of the evidence in the same way extreme Christians will never conclude that the bible is wrong, even if strong evidence against the bible is presented to them.
Do you grant my point yes or no?
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

I don’t think so. I don’t take advice from dead people anyways.
If they knew all there was to know about the universe and why people do things they would probably figured out immortality before they died.

@@destinationjesuschrist7043 If atheists are sick and selfish, then what are christians?

jokerss jokess
I was arrogant in my response, it was ill written. “If atheist are sick and selfish”
If you read my the end of my message correctly you would come to understanding that when I said atheist are just as sick and selfish as anyone else. It meant Christians and other humans alike. I didn’t put Christians in there own ring of perfection. Don’t put words in my mouth. Read it again you will see I never claimed Christian as perfect. Atheist don’t have to kill people in the name of atheism to be ruthless murderers, Joseph Stalin killed 60 million.
Now let me let you in on a secret. The religious warfare of Christianity came from the ROMAN CATHOLICS. They worship the Virgin Mary over Jesus Christ. They are not Christians and they only consider themselves Christian yet they follow no doctrine of Jesus Christ. That’s why Protestant churches exclude Catholics from being considered Christians. They don’t worship Jesus of Nazareth that was beaten, tortured and flogged by the Caiphus of the Pharisees and Roman leader Pontius Pilate. Then Jesus was crucified for his claim to be God and his power to save mankind from the Sin that each human has in there heart and being. The selfishness and wickedness each person posses that we deserve to die for.
So he promised his resurrection was insurance that we would be resurrected as well if we believe on him because he was God in the flesh and lived a sinless life. So after he died they laid him in a rich mans tomb and which fulfilled prophecy written one thousand years earlier and on third day he rose from the Dead and was witnessed by many. 4 Of Jesus disciples had accounts written of what they witnessed which was translated on Greek manuscripts. So we have 4 different accounts of the same story to compare side by side. The book of the Bible is composed of Greek manuscripts from pre 100 A.D writing in century of the life of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour.
You Forget that Men Create Wars over Negligence not God. Leave God out of mans evil doing or wrath will come upon you swiftly.
You may choose to accept God or Reject him. That is your free will. He will not force you to love him, just like you can’t force a woman to love you. Love can only be freely given.

I have just discovered this gentleman on TH-cam. His arguments and his points are not only very interesting but also very persuasive. Until around 15 years ago I was a very staunch, practicing Catholic. But lost interest and all faith in religion when I began to question everything about Christianity and found it very lacking in truth.
that's the problem my friend you followed religion and not a relationship with your creator. no religion can save you. religions are poisonous to the soul. but to seek and have a relationship with Yahweh is the most wonderful thing to ever experience. I hope you find truth and stop listening to phonies like this guy. what he claims goes against all historical non biblical evidence on Yeshua.
Your understanding, lack of comprehension, made you loose faith in yourself, lost strength / the thirst of doing your biblical research ; therefore, don't blame anyone else, but yourself. Anyway!, you are the one who's going to end up in hell; meaning, it will not affect me, at all. Peace!.
Luis Diaz How do you know this person “followed” religion in favor of a supposed relationship with a supposed god?
Also- Aron’s video certainly contains sone errors and misconceptions, but is not incorrect for the majority of statements it makes, and in fact it does go along with archaeological finds. Read the Ugaritic texts, for example.
Juan Torres Claiming an atheist who has reasoned that there is no god simply has flawed logic or is mentally lacking at all is no better than claiming Christians insist on believing in a god for the same reasons.
@@ILoveBonbons1 actually how I know is because he said it in his statement Hannah he was a staunch practicing catholic and lost faith in all religion.

Jesus is actually mentioned by ancient writers and historians from that time period. Flavious Josephus, Tacitus, and others talk about Him. Roman officials such as Pliny the Younger wrote letters complaining about His followers. Clearly non Biblical writers and historians from that time period knew that Jesus did exist. They did not view Him as a made up individual. Though they did not follow Him and viewed His followers as troublesome they nevertheless acknowledged His reality.
Those claims have been around a long time, and debunked many times over.
When faced with any type of evidence or argument, we should all ask ourselves "are we digging as best we can for the truth, wherever it leads? Are we examining all claims to find out if they were faked, or misrepresented? Or are we taking them at face value because they are comforting and support our position? Are we just using them to confirm our previously held position?"
These are very difficult questions to ask ones self, and even harder to answer honestly. But they will help us identify biases in our judgement, so that we can pursue truth.
The only Jesus I believe in poured my concrete drive.
The depressing part is when you realize to thoroughly discount the Bible nuts you have to read so much nonsense. And if you do take the time to educate yourself you realize the hopelessness of changing the minds of the blissfully ignorant.

King Arthur was probably based at least partially on King Vortigern (the last Romano-Celtic King as the invading Anglo-Saxons were arriving).
That so-called Arthur King , used to live in Glastonbury ✌️😊
@@shaunw9270 no its a Welsh/ celtic legend, Arthur features in the mabinobiog.
Yes likely preserves a lot of the older legends (and difficult to prove beyond that) but given the lost lands were all kin to the Ancient Britons/Celts and resistance was strong in hilled areas, Glastonbury seems as logical as the next place.
Great presentation, and I couldn't agree with you more, I always thought the same thing about the supposedly historical figure of jesus
listen to real scholars not a phony non scholar that spew ignorance and stupidity. listen to real scholars like Bart Ehrman he is also an Atheist that is 110% sure thatYeshua existed
@@heat305rc you seem to have missed the point. I have read Ehrman, also David Fitzgerald, who believes that the evidence points that it's all made up. The point is that it doesn't really matter if he existed or not, because it doesn't change the fact that the gospels are made up stories, just like the existence of Troy doesn't prove the illiad was a true story. Think about this, we have plenty of evidence to prove that Socrates existed, and he lived four hundred years before christ supposedly lived, and still that doesn't mean that Plato's dialogues are accurate, no reasonable person would believe that
@@ezequielstepanenko3229 it doesn't really matter if Yeshua existed or not? WOW...If He indeed existed it changes everything. Why? because he did things that no human being in history has ever done. Be well my brother and may Yahweh bless you
@@heat305rc if you are going to believe some guy transformed the water into wine, walked on water and multiplied fishes because and old text of dubious source says he did so, you might as well believe some Greek dude fought against cyclopes, laestrygonians and sirens, and meet and seduce goddesses on his way back home, and, more impressively, his wife waited for him for twenty years. There is no reason why you should believe one story over the other. Probably there was a man name Ieshu, or Yeshua, or Yehoshua, probably there were thousands of man name like that at that time in Jerusalem, but why should you believe he perfomed some miracles? For me is not enough to say: because some people said he did. That wouldn't work in a trial, would it?
@@jjphank if you live in the middle east I think you'll see more muslims and "etcs" than christians, so there is a thing about christianity; geography. Archeological research seems to be continually disproving every biblical claim, and advances in sciences like biology and physics are always showing evidence that is contradictory to the claims of an old Jewish mythology book
Regarding your last point, I've always thought it would be amusing for a Jesus to actually return, see what his original cult had exploded into, then proceed to be crucified again for heresy, or some such, because none of the denominations believe he's really Jesus.
Just something that makes me chuckle.
moral of the story in the bible mary had an affair and then lied and said God impregnated her. lol
Biggest lie ever told in the history of the planet:
"Joseph, I'm pregnant, but I'm still a virgin" .... and then the bull shit spread quick
The funniest part is when you tell a Christian prolifer who says abstinence is 100% effective that they worship the product of abstinence only. :P
jews say that the father is a roman nick named pandera or panthera.
Can you believe all the morons who believe it?
Fully, even as a kid I remember thinking, "hold on, isn't it more likely that she just had an affair then lied about it" XD

one question has never been answered for me, what about Joseph? He gets mention once or twice in the bible, but just think about human nature and how men and women really react. Mary gets knocked up but by who? Mary claims it was the holy ghost, or god's doing, and yet no mention from old Joe feelings.
Did Joseph question Mary on how it happened, and we are led to believe Joseph went along with it...would any guy with half a brain go along with this tail? If this were to happen today, we got the makings of a great Jerry Springer show.."My Wife Had an Affair with God"
Joseph and Mary probly had sex before marriage, and pregnancy before marriage was considered enough to call in doubt the parentage of the baby.
The whole virgin birth thing was later made up to cover for the baby, so he seemed more perfect and unusual But the likely real story is actually important for his life to see how he would have been shunned by the community; and how he learned to empathize with the downtrodden.
I think a sitcom like that should be called "Sky Daddy"
Hi Markus, Joseph was perturbed when he learned of Mary's pregnancy because he wasn't responsible, which could only mean she cheated on him, which was considered adultery punishable by death.
Hi N Marbletoe, Jesus was born when Joseph and Mary had been married only six months, and people could do the math.
Joe disappears when the authors realized he was inconvenient to the Fatherless Plot.
Christian apologists assert, Just have faith that Jesus was real.

Brilliant, as always.
One nit: As I understand it, Matthew copied from Mark, not the other way around.
+Kos Eighty I've seen several sites arguing that Matthew was first, and they provide evidence why.
AronRa Thanks. Looks like I have some more reading to do.
+AronRa There is no clear consensus. However, Marcan priority is the dominant view.
I think it is reasonable to say though that there is not enough evidence to determine conclusively which of the synoptic gospels was written first. The only thing we can say with confidence is that John was written last.
AntiCitizenX I had learned Marcan priority in school, but Wikipedia says that Matthean and even Lucan priority are argued by a significant minority of scholars. And of course how Acts fits into the puzzle is another question. It's all very complicated, especially because there is effectively zero external evidence to go on.
+EebstertheGreat Luke is a proto-Catholic gospel which is just an extended redaction of Marcion's "Gospel of the Lord". Given who Luke is addressed to, likely composition is around 170CE-180CE.
Mark and Matthew makes references to the Bar Khoba Revolt in his "little apocalypse" referencing Hadrian erecting a temple to Jupiter on the Temple Mount, hence 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong"
Of course referencing Daniel, who was making mention of the statue of Zeus in the Jewish Temple. That puts all modern synoptics in the second centaury.
There does seem to be many hints there was a late first centaury synoptic gospel. However it either no longer exists or we have yet to find it.
If any gospel was written in the first centaury, it was John, which still are littered with the fingerprints of Gnosticism.
He's a level 100 atheist

He's actually a level 999 anti-thiest
Jesus is:
Jewish, the guy who started Christianity, the son of god, a guy in a book, fake, super cool and good at human relations, and very, VERY non-existence.
Even if there was one person, the cult was named after, his name was not Jesus Christ. Jesus is a Latin name, most likely the Latinization of Joshua or Jeshua. And Christ is not part of the Name, but a title, derived from Greek "christos", meaning "anointed". That nowhere in the New Testament the realistic name was used, should give an idea, how much of the content is fictionalized.

@@rosackoh1959 You've got it all wrong, my friend. You don't know your place in the universe! You don't get to say what is wrong and what is "evil" because it doesn't line up with what you like!
When you've crated your own universe, galaxies, stars and planets and populated it with life that you have created, then you can determine what is wrong, what is "evil" and what is sin because it don't conform to your will, plan or desire!
But until then, you will be subject to what God the Creator of this universe determines what is wrong, sin and "evil"!
So I suggest you look it up and and suck it up and learn what God's will and purpose is and either conform or perish!
As for Hitler being a "Christian".....! it isn't even worth correcting you since you already believe what you want to! Isn't that what atheists do?
But if is really that important for you to believe it, then go ahead and believe it all you want. Because that is just the excuse and the justification you need for not accepting the Bible and not believing the Truth. And then you are without blame and there are no consequences for your actions and beliefs. Rest in Peace!
Or not!

I have always wondered about the names the Bible gives us for the disciples of Jesus. Simon Peter, James (the Elder), James (the Younger), John, Jude (Thaddeus), Matthew (Levi), Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew (Nathanial), Andrew, Simon, and finally Judas. These names are now, for the most part, basically prominent Anglicized names, seemingly. These people lived in the Middle East where names and the tradition of family names have existed with honor for thousands of years. Why is it that even today, there are virtually no people from the Middle East, Arab or Jewish, Muslim or even Christian, that have such names. Even in the Bible itself, until the New Testament, such Anglicized names did not exist. Since the Bible was written by people with agendas, and has been rewritten and edited for special purposes time and time again, how can anyone use this as nothing more than a collection of fictional moral stories equivalent to those of Aesop's Fables?
+Tawnku Imi-Uru The names are the way they are because it's literature - not history. The Gospels of the New Testament were written originally in Koine Greek. They were not eyewitness accounts. It is possible that they were commissioned by ruling elites serving the Roman State and written as a sort of propaganda story primarily for a domestic audience in and around Rome and only in certain Roman provinces and cities. - impacting outside of these centers to less of a degree than currently assumed (at least in the earlier years (pre-400 AD). Or maybe they were more like the Charles Dickens novels of their time. But then things got out of hand.
People use this book in all sorts of very horrible ways. It's a very pesky form of black magick because it presents itself as good and beneficial, but really isn't.
TheBartomon I thought as much. Thank you for your informational response.
+Tawnku Imi-Uru It does get interesting though if one starts looking at the Gospels as Astro-Theology. Jesus as Sun or 13th (hidden) Sign of the Zodiac (possibly Ophiuchus) and the 12 disciples as the 12 signs of the Zodiac. See DaVinci's Last Supper and Zodiac. Revelation has a very striking Astro-Theological sub-text. It's all syncretism really. Beg, borrow, steal from the Vedas, Egyptian Lore, Sumerian Lore, etc.
TheBartomon Just curious. Do you believe in a God of any form or fashion?
+Tawnku Imi-Uru Yes! I have many beliefs about God. My goto is: God is Everything and Every Non-Thing Imaginable and /or Unimaginable. ( I think this puts me in a position wherein I don't place any demands on anyone.)
I recognize that I am a limited and bounded creature so I attempt to be sincere in what I can and do know and humble in the face of what I don't or can't know.
But I do have a sense that there is something very impressive "out there" that makes existence possible. And if this is the case, then a stance of personal gratitude and complete awe is the most natural emotional state that I can connect to the idea.
In terms of theology, what I reject most strongly are the Abrahamic religious traditions that seek to prescribe strict behaviors on people, often through dishonest methods and empty rituals.

If one can detach their emotions from the subject and focus on the facts and references, they make a stronger case in my opinion, however, people from both sides seem to get easily offended by the other's belief or disbelief and resort to inserting insults, attempting to cut the other person as deep as possible. Typically "Christians" who are insecure in their belief can get really upset, some often contradicting the conviction they claim to live by. Many people who were exposed to major hypocrisy by self righteous and deceived people often are left w/a bad taste in their mouths, completely throwing the baby out w/ the bath water all together.

They have to continue reassuring each other that "There is no God"; "There is no SIN"; "There is no Judgement" and "There is no Hell"! "Then we need no Jesus, either!"
They have to keep repeating these words until they have convinced themselves that they actually believe it. And it helps a lot when they hear from other people too.

@@istvansipos9940 You do not have to be under the influence of atheists or subjected to their reasoning to reject God even at an early age. We are all "born and conceived in sin". That's how we enter this world; as sinners who are lost!
In our natural state, we are "enemies" of God and we cannot see, understand or receive the things of God. It is "foolishness" to us. That's why Jesus urges us to be "born again" of the spirit and be freed for sin and the consequences thereof.
The real disease is not cancer; it is SIN and EVIL which is located in our hearts. It's too bad you can't see that.....!
Cancer and other diseases are symptoms of the disease of sin and evil. It's not the cause. It is the consequence and the result is death. Not only natural death but eternal death of your soul and your spirit being severed from the source of Life which is God Himself.
We do not all suffer from diseases such as cancer. But we all suffer from the disease of sin and evil. Even Christians suffer from cancer and other diseases from time to time. And we all die (eventually). The last enemy Jesus will destroy is death itself.
Being a catholic isn't a cure for cancer.....! Jesus is the cure. He is the cure because He cures us of sin and evil. That is His mission and the purpose for which He came. He overcame sin, evil and as a result He could cure people from the results of sin namely illness and disease and why He could raise the dead. That is why we will life forever if we are saved from sin and death!
Being a catholic isn't even Christian. They worship Mary and pray to "saints". They have locked up and hidden the truth of salvation away from people for ages. And they still continue to do so!
If you reject the "Answer" and the "Cure" then you have no right to complain about the consequences such as cancer, disease, suffering and death!
God can destroy all of these diseases in a heart beat and put a stop to all of this suffering instantly! But to do so, He has to destroy, sin and evil that causes all of it. But that means that man whom God wants to help and save will be destroyed with it because man is full of sin and evil and it is part of him. Because God is merciful, He doesn't destroy us with the sin and evil but gives us time and a chance to be delivered from evil and set free from sin before He destroys sin and evil and with it death forever!
And we do not drink goat milk where I am from. We have cows for milk and we do not bother with goats very much. As a Christian we are concerned with the "Lamb of God that take away the sins of the world". You can carry on worshiping "the Goat" if you want to but we choose Life! Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Without Jesus there is no life and you will remain dead in your sins. Your soul will die with you in your sins.
God is not preoccupied with natural human life. He doesn't save their natural lives just to allow their souls to die and be lost forever!
Enjoy your milk freely (while you may) while you choose to hold on to the Goat!!
@@danielcoetzee5793 How do you know? better question: how can you prove it? if a tribal chief from a hot, HOT area does not believe in solid water, I just show him a freezer. no matter how silly it sounds to him, he will accept the solid water "myth" after seeing some ice. ain't that disappointing that we have been searching for millenia now, and we still don't have anything about gods? or the holy book and their contradictions? or the obviously false claims about nature and the universe in those holy books? or the holy books that have versions? try spreading some versions about mere mortals. if they have some might and influence, they'll stop you. but god lets us kill eachother abusing his name? an almighty being lets this happen? an almighty and cruel being, because he waited so many millenia to send his son down here. with that, he automatically denied any chance of heaven for every1 who had lived in pre jesus / pre christian times. the kindest, most caring tribal dude from 9 000 years ago was no good christian, thus he is in hell now. and why does god not use a mindtrick to save the sinners from sins? yeah, I know, he respects our free will. except when he does not. he gave you commandments. so much about free will. he did not mindtrick the leaders of some ancient cities, so they stayed put. then god sent the jews to murder ALL those people. first, he was against the free will of his chosen people (they did not come up with the idea of those sieges) and then the free will of the victims were taken away anyway. those slaughtered people wanted to do something more fun and useful with their day, they sure did not want to be murdered. And if you use only the neo-jew (christian) version, you also find examples for this. I don't remember god asking Mary if she wants a child or not. how rude would that be from a mortal, right? like a doctor impregnating a sleeping woman. but it is OK from an infinitely wise, timeless being.
who is somehow never wise or powerful enough to reach any jungle survivor kid with his teachings. those kids return to civilization somehow, and none of them is a jew or a christian or anything. none of the gods reached them because of thick foliage. OR they had no religious adults in their childhood so no brainwashing took place. one of the 2.
speaking of brainwashing, that is absolutely needed. because the whole god thing is so ridiculous, the church could base it on fear and fear alone. that's why they came up with the concept of Original Sin. the most infuriating concept of them all. For any sane person who at least once saw a cute toddler. to imagine that those smurfs are sinners just because an unproven, unprovable couple ate a fruit in a magic garden.
you drive over the speed limit as a teenager. many years later, you die. many more years later, your great grand kid gets the ticket. the officer, a 20somehing-year-old mortal would be a dity jerk for that. But, again, it is OK from a god. A god who sent his own son to die on a cross. a mortal who beats up a kid (any kid), is a monster. but god is good, although he was more brutal with his OWN son. this faith is brilliant.
by the way, it is faith light. dudes in the bible had real faith.
- I was talking to god. Alone, of course.
- yes, you were, Mosie. you absolutely were.
or
- kill your son. I am god.
- Sir, yes, sir!
if a sound or a dude told you such things, you would call the police / ignore him / see a doctor, I hope. which would infuriate god big time, if it was really him / his fella, because how dare you doubt! with faith light only, you obviously do. ain't that funny? you would not believe a real guy (not even a good friend) here and now, but you believe SOME parts of 1 version of 1 book written many centuries ago. based on 0 evidence. while rejecting thousands of other concepts supported by the same amount of evidence.

He certainly mentions them all.
