This video restored your faith? Did you not read the bible? Or you didn't understand so you just said "Oh I don't understand so then it's not real" and if you are being sarcastic it didn't translate well... But either way, you're 🐨
It does my heart good to hear someone give such simple understandings to such stressful questions to so many people... People often ask, who is God and where is He... How can I know He is True...? This answer is just as simple. Only two persons can give you this answer... The Father and you...! It's all in the writings, just listen, and you will hear them speak to you...! God Bless
I'm an athiest, and I found this very fascinating. Particularly the bible stating things that we could not have known at the time, such as uncountable stars, and the earth "hanging in space". very interesting. I would love to hear about more ideas like this!
@Polo Loco That's what I want to know! I am a skeptical person, and i don't take any of the ideas i mentioned very seriously because it would be impossible to prove that people of the time had a certain worldview. therefore we can't conclude that the bible is divine word on this basis. It just happens to be the closest anyone has ever come to arguing for the bible's legitimacy in a remotely convincing way (again, not convinced). I want to be convinced though, and maybe there are some other ideas in the bible that people were unlikely to think of by themselves. i bet there are a couple of doozy's in there. Ultimately I don't think I will be convinced, but I find it very interesting
@Zane Thunder You'd have a look at the Hebrew word for winged birds/fowl and you'd find out that "winged" is stressed, and flying. By the way, instead of using a 2000 year old book, as you suggest, althoug it is much older, 'cause Moses wrote after leaving Egypt with his people in 1606 BC and before he died in 1566 BC, you can easily believe a 6000 year old lie as everyone does who is not believing in Jesus Christ as his saviour and Lord. It's up to you 😉
@@slfudct None has eternal life as an earning. Anyone that has eternal life, got it as a gift. Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Faith without works/good deeds shows that this faith is dead because works/good deeds "naturally" follow faith. The Lord Jesus explained to Nicodemus how you get saved and have eternal life in John 3:14f. Think of anyone being bitten by a fiery serpent and being very kind to his neighbour giving him a drink and reciting a heartwarming poem before his neighbour dies unwilling to look at the bronze serpent. They both had spoken against God and Moses and were fed up with this worthless bread (as they called manna) , they had even said to Moses: "We have sinned for we have spoken against the Lord and against you" because everyone said so. Well, now his neighbour is dead and he closes his eyelids and comforts his kids but he does not look at the bronze serpent why should he, he is such a kind person caring for others with a heart full of love. Not necessary to say that he died soon afterwards, is it?
Thank you very much guys for including all cultures in your cartoons, ... it makes it easy to share with those who feel excluded by the artists within Christian animation media. :)
Ok but how do I know that what is written today isn't just a corrupt version intentionally made to make people more divided and disconnected from God or that its written in such a way as to leave you with more questions that make it more likely for you to question God's existence because certain things don't make sense or contradict themselves
The bible has over 1400 copies and the recent copy from the original text was made 5 years after the original. It is through the copies we can compare the word of GOD. I recommend you looking into the dead sea scrolls.
@HOOKaFISH I actually read that one and I'm referring to theno fact that thousands of translations have been made not just by a direct translations from Hebrew to Latin but from Hebrew to Greek and then Greek to Latin. It's a whole mess of info, and although they SAY that we have pretty accurate translations today, we still have no way of guaranteeing that those who claim that to be true aren't in on the false prophecies or that even the direct translations wouldn't actually even work due to the fact that English is the farthest language from Hebrew making a lot of metaphors confusing or misleading. In fact we have so many Americans that read the Bible as being literal in so many stories and then believe them to be absolutely true no matter how ridiculous because God said so or believe the Bible to be all lies because of how ridiculous it sounds without ever actually understanding the philosophy behind it.
@@WhoToldYouThis By comparing the copies we can see what words are used whether it is Greek translation Hebrew, Aramaic etc. Also revision of the scriptures or context left out by going back to the oldest of the oldest copies. The KJV was a copy made in 1611 from the Bishops Bible copy of 1568. English and modern language has changed since 100 A.D and that is why the Bible has been revised into modern English versions (NASB, ASV etc.). The ancient scrolls have been found are are in safe keepings in modern day museums. For more information read your Bibles preface it located before Genesis. also read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2nd Peter 1:19-21.
@@HOOKaFISH still we dont know who wrote those scriptures, the 4 gospels are according to anonymous ppl who they later said is mark luke john n mathew but it cannot b proven, even the priests will believe there are many contradiction is the bible and so many things doesnt make sense, its a fact that those 4 anonymous ppl who wrote bible never met jesus, we all were made to believe they are disciples but after reading bible u can come to understand more about it, there are many things which are true in bible many things which are false also, but how can we prove anything? Those ppl who wrote the gospels they wrote these stories as how they heard long after jesus died, the revelations jesus received was armaic but these anonymous ppl wrote the gospels in hebrew and the letters and scriptures were greek, these stories even if they had authors can we believe them?
Here’s the thing. The KJV Bible is the only one that is not copyrighted. Every other Bible was written to make somebody rich. Also, if the NIV Bible, for example, was the word of God, why would God wait for so long to reveal his word to us? The KJV Bible is God’s word for English speaking people. In Acts 16:6, God commanded Paul to take the gospel to English speaking people. God has ordained and chosen English-speaking people in a similar way in which he ordained and chose the Jewish people. Since English-speaking people are chosen by God, logic proves that the KJV Bible is the only in errant word of God. God would not leave his people in the dark for 2000 years. It simply doesn’t add up. God gave English-speaking people the KJV Bible. That is his word. Nothing else is his word. In the garden of Eden, Satan took the word of God and corrupted it. That is how he attacks Christians and nonbelievers alike. He takes what God says and summarize it, and in summarizing it he corrupts what God said. How then, knowing this, can a Christian accept any summarized version of the KJV Bible? Here’s the bottom line: the KJV Bible is the Word of God. Nothing else is the Word of God.
I'm really impressed,by all your videos I really praise god for the wisdom that he has given given you, I love all your videos and the way you present, I really wonder how you take time to reply to each of the comment,personally, I just shared this, to one of my atheist friend,who had this doubt not only this ,she has many doubts, regarding l,God out of which you are healthy and few are not and her perspective (way of thinking)actually coincide a bit with yours .........so please pray that God might open her understanding.
Thanks this was very interesting to watch 👍 how do we know that the Bible is 100% the word of God and doesn't contain any changes to the word of God by humans over time?
Manuscripts. Monks had a tradition of transcripting into papyruses the different scriptures like gospels and epistles because papyruses degrade with time. Manuscripts have been found from different ages (like 5500 different manuscripts for the new testament) and they compared each other to check for differences. There's a 99% accuracy in texts only few word differences and mispelling were made. Also the original gospels are estimated to be from around the first century before the resurrection (30~ AC) being Mark the earliest (50-60~ AC) and John the latest (100~ AC).
@Yasmín MFabricio Bible means "books" in Greek and it's a collection of different books from a range of 1500 years, these books were written by different prophets and apostles were collected into an unique book "The Bible", the most sold book in all history and also a life guidance for a lot of people. There's only one bible but there are many translation to the bible. Translations are difficult to make because there are words and expressions that can't be translated from the original language to the target language (in this case English) and translators have to work around these problems and it may change slightly the meaning. The most recommendable thing to do is having at least 2 translations and the verses that you can't understand clearly, you can look at the other translation if it's better explained. Since I'm a Spanish native speaker, I have "Palabra de Dios para Todos" (PDT) as the main translation, for me it's easier and it doesn't make the reading hard, and I have as a backup, "Reina Valera 1960" (RVR1960), which is an older translation and a bit harder but sometimes can help if I don't understand the other one. For english speakers, you have the most known translation King James Version (KJV), this is an old one and for instance a harder one, and the New International Version NIV, which is a newer and a easier one. I personally use the four ones when I research in Internet and the two first ones for home and the church I attend.
Since we are spiritual beings, it only makes logical sense that the Creator would communicate with us in Spirit, rather than in a physical way, that would put a human before Him. The book is written by man, decided what should and not be in the book by man, and interpreted by man. I'll just look and listen within and at this point of my life, I am free from the bondage of religion and at total peace within my being.
„for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.“ II Peter 1:21 „For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.“ Hebrews 4:12 „“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.“ John 5:24 „I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.“ Ezekiel 36:26-27 „Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”“ Matthew 11:28-30 Greetings :)
@@yourwordisalamp1 you are coming with arguments with a book that i don't even believe in let's talk science and facts and validity and history not blindly following and copy pasting from a google search
The Bible says that faith (is the assured expectation of things hoped for the evident demonstration of realities though not yet be held) 2 Timothy's 3:16 says all scripture is inspired of God . So Examen prophecy and you will find out if The Bible is true or not
The only documents that can be correctly called "The word of God" are from occasions when God, Jesus, or the Apostles actually sat down with a scribe and dictated what they wanted set down for posterity or someone took their pocket recorder along to a meeting where the Holy Spirit was speaking. Any thing else can only be referred to as: "The word of God according to human interpretation." There is great value of The Letters contained in the New Testament - which actually provide first person accounts of what their authors had been told by Spirits Sent by God.
"...earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light."
The belief that the Bible is the word of God varies among different religious traditions and individuals. For many Christians, the Bible is considered sacred and believed to contain divinely inspired teachings and messages. Others may interpret the Bible as a collection of historical and cultural writings. The perception of the Bible's divine origin is a matter of personal faith and theological interpretation.
NO, NOT REALLY. the bible DEFINITIVELY is NOT the word of god. it's not a matter of interpretation. and this is really easy to resolve as well, Unlike most biblical debates which are complicated and subject to debate and personal opinion.... and can last for decades without a clear answer.. This one absolutely is not. This is very black and white . Nothing to get confused over. The only thing that can go wrong here is this..... When presented with this 1. The christians MAKES A FEW ASSUMPTIONS 2. These Assumptions are incorrect but the christian is not aware of it 3. The christian see's this information as being a threat to their belief 4. As a result THEY IGNORE IT AND PRETEND IT'S FALSE But it's not false... it's impossible to be false HERE IS WHAT YOU DO TO FIND OUT IF THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD OR NOT. let's ask a question : If you bought a car that had a badge saying "Toyota Corolla" and someone told you "that's not a Toyota Corolla" and they ran through a few features of teh car, the lights are wrong, it doesn't come with this or that option etc etc HOW WOULD YOU ABSOLUTELY AND CONCLUSIVELY TELL IF IT WAS A TOYOTA COROLLA OR NOT ? ANSWER : you could debate it, but if no one is willing to come to a civil conclusion, YOU GET A RULING FROM THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE CAR. Obviously you ask questions like "Hi Toyota, is this car your car ?" They would then ask you some challenge questions , logically, for say a V.I.N. (Vehicle Identification Number) Now.. Your Vehicle MUST have this number, if it doesn't, it conclisively IS NOT a Genuine Toyota Corolla Because Toyota states that EVERY car they make has one. so.. You give them the V.I.N. and they tell you , Yes or NO AND.. IF IT COMES BACK "YES" the other person who said it isn't.... ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DEBATE THE POINT. they can however choose to ignore the point and pretend it's wrong. BUT FACT IS FACT.... BY THE SAME METHOD.... 1. We know that people are not going to come to a civil and unified agreement on whether the bible is god's word or not THEREFORE LET'S GO TO THE SOURCE THAT CREATED THE BIBLE Here is how you approach this problem 2. START WITH THE SIMPLEST QUESTION so.. Questions like this are pointless - is the bible a lie - is the bible truth - is the bible real - is the bible historically accurate NONE OF THAT MATTERS Before anything you want to establish IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD After that, You can decide - if god lied - if god told the truth - if it's historically accurate and of course the bible is real. that's a dumb question to ask. NOW... You don't start with EVERY BIBLE, You start with, YOUR OWN BIBLE Since you are trying to prove this to yourself FOR WHAT PURPOSE ? ANSWER : To establish if YOU PERSONALLY are reading and following a false word. - Once you establish that, you can look at other bibles 3. SO YOU ESTABLISH THE VERSION OF BIBLE THAT YOU HAVE 4. YOU CALL THE ONE THAT CREATED THE BIBLE Google "Who has the publishing rights to (Insert your bible version here)" 5. Once you find out the names of the companies that publish your bible. FIND THEIR PHONE NUMBER thankfully there will be like only 3 - 5 of them chances are.. if you call the one in your country it will likely be the correct one 6. THEN YOU ASK THEM DIRECTLY as follows "Question 1 - I have a bible here and i want to know if this is a bible that you created and printed" they will get you to describe the bible or give them the ISDN. it's pretty clear by the cover which one is their one as they don't copy from each other After they say , yes thats' one of ours QUESTION 2 : "I'd like to know something, i'm going to ask you a direct and honest question and i'd like an honest answer...... IS THIS BIBLE OF YOURS THE ACTUAL AND LITERAL WORD OF GOD ?" The answer you will receive will be .... "No it's not" sometimes they say this "Not it's not literally the word of god, However it is the inspired word of god" to which you ask for clarification like this.. QUESTION 3 "OK. so.. INSPIRED BY WHO ? so.. When you were writing the bible, was god there to tell you what to write, or... did he speak to your prior to writing and gave you inspiration , Where di you derive your inspiration from " The answer is something like this "No, god was not there personally speaking to us, We take inspiration from other bibles, so the way that we put our book together is we go through a collection of other bibles and we decide what we deem to be appropriate for our bible and our readers, our bible is a collection of multiple biblical sources, primarily other bibles" QUESTION 4 - "Ok, so are any of of these other bibles, the actual and literal word of god" ANSWER : "No they are not" QUESTION 5 : "OK, so.. Other than Translations and the appearance of the cover, Since your first bible that you released, have you ever changed or edited your bible, or released further versions after the first" then answer is something like this "Yes we have, although we reserve the right to alter the bible without any notification as we hold the rights to the bible" (they will actually state, THE VERSION they hold the rights to) Because it's a legal requirement to no misrepresent and conflict with other publishers SO THAT'S HOW YOU FIND OUT AND THERE IS YOUR ANSWER CONCLUSIVELY - they created it - God's word never entered the equation at any point - If there ever was an original word (which there wasn't) it has now been changed - they have put their book together from many other bibles BASED ON WHAT CHRISTIANS WANT TO HEAR AND WHAT SELLS - They have then changed and altered it as they see fit to sell more bibles SO.... ABSOLUTELY AND CONCLUSIVELY THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD therefore, You Now can debate - is the bible a lie (But it doesn't matter, Even if you find it to be true, it's not gods' word) - is it historically accurate, it's not, But, even if you found it to be accurate. it's still not god's word WHICHEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT THIS IT'S NOT GOD'S WORD YOU AS A CHRISTIAN ARE THEREFORE READING A WORD THAT IS NOT GOD'S WORD. FOR ANYONE THAT NEEDS PROOF GO AHEAD.... CALL YOUR PUBLISHER I'm not making this up I actually called all the publishers of the King James then Most of the publishers of ALL of the other versions to save you time.... They mostly say the same thing. but you really need only be concerned with the bible you are reading BUT TRUTH IS.... WE DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE BIBLE THAT IS ACTUALLY GOD'S WORD so now christians will reject this BASED ON AN ASSUMPTION that being... They believe they are being led away from god NO... NOT AT ALL YOU CAN STILL WORSHIP GOD AND PRAY TO HIM YOU CAN STILL WORSHIP CHRIST AND PRAY TO HIM there's nothing wrong with that JUST DON'T READ A WORD THAT IS NOT HIS WORD God is not a bible, The bible is a book they are 2 separate things Leave the bible Keep god and Jesus But see.. that never occurs to them . leaving the bible, does not mean you leave god. it means you leave bullshit out of your relationship with god it means YOU RESPECT GOD and don't follow a false word As for the teachings of jesus A CHRISTIAN SHOULD LOOK THESE UP HISTORICALLY, Not in the bible and as for "so what do we do now ?" YOU PRAY TO GOD AND ASK HIM WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO . Now will he answer ? I DON'T KNOW I just said, You can continue to believe and pray to him and christ, which is what you were doing anyway THAT'S NOT HARD IS IT ? BUT YEAH.... THE BIBLE ABSOLUTELY IS NOT GOD'S WORD BECAUSE THE CREATOR OF IT SAYS SO IT'S NOT A DEBATE IT'S NOT AN OPINION IT'S AN UNDISPUTABLE FACT THAT IS EASILY VERIFIED if you disagree, You're wrong, Just like the Toyota Corolla

Romans 16:24 14. 1 John 5:7-8 • *Mark 16:9-20* also a fabrication but still available in the Bible. Unbelievable. *THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ELSE IS FABRICATED?*
My first recollection of men suggesting that the Bible is God’s word was at the finalizing of the 1611 KJV, when Francis Bacon ascribed the authority of the KJV to King Iames, later to be known as King James, with the introduction of the J to our languages in 1524 and finally filtering down to the KJV some 87 years later! The earliest KJV has King Iames and his maeisty with no sign of a J! If King Iames (James) is ascribed that authority then it is clearly not the authority of God, who remains nameless throughout the entirety of the KJV! Now don’t get me wrong, but every author I know of has his name added to the books he writes and get’s accredited by means of his name, but not so with the KJV, nor with the vast array of English translations, of which there are some 450 variants. No authors name leaves it wide open for anyone to claim what they will! Now, would you not think that an almighty God could get it right first time and thus not require 450 different translations? Or are they who repeat the dogma that the Bible is the word of God really suggesting that God made so many mistakes? Indeed, Yah did get it right in the original form, which Moshe put together as the words were dictated to him. This was the Towrah/Torah, not a Bible and then the Prophets and Psalms, but you don’t often hear this! Indeed, few if any really consider the Hebrew as the origin of the words, yet this is the most important to understand, because even the Bible would not exist without the original Towrah/Torah and that means if Yah had not required Moshe’s hand to write it, there would be no Bible! Bible, Bible Bible is all you hear today! The very God who had his word written down by Moshe has a name and that name that you should know is Yahowah/Yahweh enunciated in different ways of speech, but not “Lord”! Yet you hardly ever find “The Name of Yah” in any Bible. Don’t you think He knows His own name and would include it if it were is work? Do you think he would forget to add His name so you cannot call upon Him? All you find as the denoted author in the vast preponderance of Bibles is “Lord” so the lord must be the author, but that is not Yah! In fact King James was lauded as the author, despite the fact he gave Bacon the responsibility for the pigs ear of a translation attempt! The fact that can be proven is the Yah always communicated in the Hebrew language and never in English, Latin or Greek! So, If you really want the truth, original Hebrew is a must! Yet even the Hebrew language has gone through 4 major changes over the duration of time and there have been corrupt words added, changed and deletions have occurred! The modern Hebrew uses diacritical markings to denote the word sounds as deliberated by men! So if men have had their hand in the corruption, then this is the Bible Babble of men who remain in Babylon! Cognitive dissonance won’t work here, you cannot claim that the bible is the word of God, because it has been so corrupted by men as to only be the work of errant men with an agenda of mind control, by means of changed and corrupted words! By means of proof, take “Holy” as an example, a Roman Catholic corruption of what was Qodesh, to be set apart, a cleansing exercise that both Yah can do for you and you can do for yourself by means of moving away and setting yourself apart from the lies and corruptions of the religious! Now, crowd pressure will likely make you think otherwise, so you will need to investigate for yourself, assuming truth is what you seek! So whilst it’s difficult to understand how you can make yourself “Holy” it’s easy to understand how you can Qodesh - set yourself apart by seeking the truth, which few people can do because their minds are already pre programmed with a narrative of lies, which they accept! This is a cleansing exercise in many ways, but in this case it is cleaning up the lies and throwing them out, which you can do yourself How about the J, what can you see in scripture with J? How can that be correct if it was not in existence at that time? Truth is it cannot be correct, since the J has only been in existence for less than 500 years at this time of writing in the year of 2022! Even then it was not widely used until the 1600’s, some 400 plus years ago as witnessed by the KJV change! This must have the effect of making you start to think, have you been told the truth? If you can find just one wrong letter or word, then you are obligated to question further and investigate for yourself if you really desire truth! If you are only going to accept man’s narrative, you will surely come across many errors! Don’t even accept my word for it, check it out for yourself and do your due diligence

In the original Greek text The word cross does not appear in the bible history shows that roman soldiers didn't use across It was a stake hence the Greek word was used that describes it as impalmrnt
This video makes no sense to me. It makes countless baseless assumptions and statements, just one example is the bit on Paul saying He Knows correlating with a basis in a fact. This is just someone saying they know something. I know plenty of Christians who claim They Know that god is the creator of the universe however this does not carry any proof to back it up and is completely baseless.
Paul knows because he met Christ. Like all apostles, they met him, saw him raised from the dead and changed forever since then, they began from being passive and coward people to active and courageous people sharing the gospel everywhere to everybody and even if it costs their life. And most of them were martyred and didn't retract any of the words they said and there's some historical proof of it, this can make you think that they thought that they were saying the truth, that Jesus was raised from the dead, when they were being killed since nobody dies for a lie .
@@hellofellowhumans9353 No person dies for something they don't believe it's true. Scholars have concluded that apostles believed it's true even at the cost of their lives.
I came here looking to hear a quote from the bible claiming to be the word of God, but that didn’t happen. If it was the word of God, surely God would say so
@@ripcord8738 The people that wrote them. You know this is what is so messed up about Christianity. You know any person could insert a book into the Bible and because that book is now in the Bible somehow it has been deemed inspired by God because Paul wrote it or John. That fact still doesn't kill the gospel because Christ told us the gospel. Tell me how people go by without the Bible before it was written? Which was when Jesus walked the earth. The Bible used to contain 81 books and at that point that verse validated them and then they were removed
If this book is written from God to communicate truth to us, doesn’t it make logical sense that there wouldn’t be so many differing beliefs from that same book? How do we know who is right? I propose it is the Spirit of God that communicates truth to us from within.
The "differing" beliefs that you mention, were foretold to occur. Acts 20:29,30. From that verse, knowing that true Christianity included the responsibility to share their beliefs with others, it's obvious that powerful men infiltrated the then existing congregations and influenced people into accepting a different "watered down" version, with virtually no resistance. 2nd Tim.4:3,4 It began with the establishment of the RCC. Then it spread to the Orthodox church and later, Protestantism. If you're looking for truth, the identifying marks are John 13:34,35 and Matt.24:14. Then find out who fits that description.
God = Life By definition, there can be only one all-inclusive or Absolute Being (Life), in which all relative beings 'live', move and have their Being. Love is the conscious recognition (namaste') of our shared Being. Faith = Faithful to... John 1:1 - (paraphrase) - "The Word of Truth (Logos) is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality/Life (That which is/That I am). Exodus 3:14 - "I am That I am." I am That I am = I am That which is. I = which Am = is Reality = That which is. Life = That I am. Reality/Life = That which is/That I am.
I was on the fence big time here . I live my life how I believe God wants me to , the very best I can . I’ve had many questions about the Bible , this video unfortunately has reaffirmed my initial idea that it written by man, and even though their intentions may have been pure for 95% of the Bible , man can not help himself . Why would God tell I think Moses that he should be able to loan money out but never borrow himself ? And this will lead him to the top?!? Do you not realize what that single statement has lead to on earth?! The world banking system. The most evil, enslaving system in the history of man. It makes me now really think about the world renown biblical translator Mario (can’t remember last name) who says that in the ORIGINAL text and language of the Bible , never , not once was God meant to be singular , the authors reference GODS plural even God himself says to the Jewish people you should have no other Gods before me . I am YOUR GOD. God kept his promise to the Jews or atleast some of them, that’s for damn sure . The ones at the top of the banking system have been there since the first Jew started borrowing money to the Roman Emperor and other Rulers across the world. Did you know it was illegal for Romans to loan $$, and it was illegal for Christians to loan money , personal or in a business sense. But yet in the Bible God literally says if you loan out $ and never borrow you will come out on top?!?
For example, in John 10:30, Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.” The Jews who heard Him make that statement knew well that He was claiming to be God, as witnessed by their reaction: “His Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him” (John 10:31). When He asked them why they were attempting to stone Him, they said, “For blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). Jesus made another statement claiming to be God when He said, “Very truly I tell you, . . . before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58).
It doesn't. Crosspaint is quoting John 10:30 literally, as trinitarians usually do. When Jesus said that "I and the father are one", he was referring to their unity, not that they were two people joined together. At John 17:21-23, Jesus used the same terminology, in his prayer, to highlight the same unity(oneness) for his disciples. He also did the same at Matt.19:5,6 to illustrate the "oneness" in a marriage.
@@crosspaint Why don't you respond to what Ripcord said because you have been checkmated, The fact is jesus did not manifest himself as god even tho he was accused of that. Don't forget it is only a story.
In the supposed word of God, is there something that humans at that time could not have known? Let´s see... Earth is not precisely hanging on nothing. Besides, just by watching the sun and the moon, ancient people could figure out that earth was also "hanging on nothing". Nevertheless, other parts of the Bible say that earth is on pillars (Psalms 75 3) The stars in the sky seems uncountable as seen from the earth, that´s not a divine revelation at all.
The term at Psalm 75:3 is a metaphor. At 1st Tim.3:15 the congregation(church KJV) is likened to a "pillar". The same expression used at Gal.2:9 to describe James, Cephas, and John.
I believe in GOD and I share mostly Christian views of god but I can’t get behind taking all my beliefs from a book that was written by a human especially when many things in the Bible make claims but don’t explain the claims. Plus I refuse to believe god would want to make people feel excluded/shameful for not following this books claims it just doesn’t come off to me as what you’d expect a Devine figure to be.
@焼き鳥 the bible is merely written by men and contains chronicles of the people living back then. It contains some truths and some falsehoods, just like every modern history book, which is always written by the ones who made it thru. There is no modern scholar, expert of biblical matters, who would states the bible is what christianity claims it to be. In my opinion, there's no chance a divine, if ever exists, is something like the individual descripted in the old testament, depicted as a ruthless powerful colonizer. That's just the misunderstanding of ancient chronicles, the misinterpratation perpetrated by the ones who have "built" the firsts system of control of the masses: the religion.
@@EmperorHero1 the main issue is the narrative went through countless translations, and every tradition who had a chance to lay hands on the bible, they ended up conveying their own concepts inside the narrative, changing the previous version. Another issue concerns the mistranslations done with a purpose, like the concept of almightiness, omnipotence, absent in the original Pentateuch. And many other inaccuracies.

@@denoa3166 lmao. The hard core is on the old testament, which is a collection of ancient chronicles preserved and transmitted thru generations in a time span of few thousand of years and coming from different cultures, from sumerians down to hebrews. The old testament is declared to be written according to the word of god, but it's not said anywhere. The new testament we don't even know who wrote it down. Don't tell me John wrote his gospel because it's not true. The new testament is twisted by theological mindset and it's written only once facts already happened in order to sustain a new religion. Therefore, the answer is still: no.
At the end you claimed without presenting any evidence that God "wrote" the bible himself. Like he picked up a pen & started writing the Bible with his own hand. Right? Did you see that? When did he do that? What did he use to write his book on? On papers or animal skins or rocks? What was his pen made of? Did he build his own pen & paper? Did he write it in his palace in Haven on he came down to the earth & sat on a rock & started writing it? What language did he use to write his book? Is that the language God speaks? Why does God even have to have a book?
and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 Human authors wrote Scriptures being led with Holy Spirit. Over 40 authors from diverse background on course of 1500 years. With help from a God they were able to write consistent texts with no human error. Also prophesies that are fulfilled that no man could ever predict alone. For example: Old Testament predict Jesus. On New Testament Jesus predicts destruction of Israel's second temple. And accurate historicity, some confirmed by archeological evidence. God wanted His word in book, because it's written text and is far better than oral tradition that is keen to change along the years. Old Testament books were originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic and New Testament books were written in Koine Greek. With good translators Gods word was translated to multiple languages, so God speaks all languages. Bible books, were written originally on stone tablets, wooden tablets, clay tablets, papyrus, leather of animals, and lastly on paper.
@@KingPingviini , thanks for admitting God didn't write the holy books(including the Bible) & they all were written by men. to believe they were "inspired" by God is just your opinion. to believe it's true is just your opinion. to believe it guids u to a better life is just your opinion. my personal words have saved few young men's lives from going to jail & having ordinary lives; so my words are God's words? get real. the only fact u said was that the Bible was written by man, so it's only man's word, created in men's minds, & written by men's hands on different material on earth. so it's all man's word, not God's word, as u proved me right too.
@@mei6487 To know that God had nothing to with making the books of the Bible, you claim to be: 1. Omniscient You are claiming to be an all-knowing authority on the subject of God’s inspiration, to refute God’s claim that Scripture was inspired by Him (2 Timothy 3:16). 2. Omnipresent You are claiming that you were present, both spiritually and physically, to observe that God had no part in aiding any of the biblical authors 3. Omnipotent You are claiming that if God had tried to help the biblical authors, then you had the power to stop such an action. So you claim to be God. To refute your words being Gods word however, I don't need to be those three things above. Jesus approved Old Testament prophetic works and New Testament apostolic works. Bible Canon is sealed. No new texts are to be expected. God has spoken all He wanted us to know. Last book of the Bible, Book of revelation, Jesus says: warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

@@KingPingviini @King Pingviini , all I asked was to prove to me that "the Bible is the word of God" (the word that actually came out of God's mouth), but u all didn't prove that to me & all you wrote was that the Bible is written by man(many men long after Jesus died) and these men were INSPIRED by God. now another one u should prove to me Prove to me that they were "inspired" by God? you were not in their heads, so how can u be so sure God went inside their heads somehow & talked to them then they wrote the word of God? (what if they had mental problems & hallucinated stuff? what if they lied to achieve higher positions in society? etc). so it's all nothing but your BELIEFS, no proofs, no evidence, nothing, just your beliefs. And beliefs/faiths are the opposite of the scientific method (the process to prove a theory/idea/belief through evidence & multiple testings to achieve a solid Fact). you can't have a Faith & call it Fact too. Faith & Fats don't mix. never. *Believe all you want; your faith is admirable to me. I'm not here to take away your belief or faith. i can't do it anyway, because faith is the strongest force in the believers' lives. even if I could I wouldn't want to take your faith away from you. so believe all you want, as strong as you want, for your happiness & life is your faith, & you're better that way. all I'm saying is Not to mix faith with facts. facts are boring; faiths are exciting. Faith is magical.*
Any book that claims to be "divinely inspired", such as the Bible (2nd Tim.3:16,17) would then have to provide internal evidence to support that claim. Otherwise, it's only credulity. The Bible's strongest proof of its' credibility is prophecy. It contains dates, places, names, and events that have been corroborated and confirmed by reliable secular sources, as well.
It actually was not created for humans. Matthew 25 says that the "…lake of fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." When we understand the holiness of God, all of this makes sense.
I understand that there might be people who believe that… but unfortunately, it’s not what the Bible teaches. God created the Lake of fire for the devil and his angels. However, the devil has, since the dawn of creation, worked extensively to take others with him. Already in the garden of Eden he came and tempted man… and succeeded. Sin entered into the world and with it condemnation. We are born with a sin nature, but God, through grace, has restored a way back to Him, but now it’s by choice, and not by default. If you have more questions directly related to this subject, I suggest this link: www.gotquestions.org/who-will-go-to-hell.html
Disappointing. In the first minute, we assume God wants to speak to mankind. OK. How should He do this? (Remember God exists outside of space and time.) The speaker decides the BEST way for GOD to do this is to appear physically once, limited by TIME. Then tell people to write a book about it?? Really? God is much smarter than that
Do I believe the bible? Which bible, as there are many that say many different things from one another. Even from among the ancient texts there are great variations between them. Furthermore, there are many differing interpretations of what each verse has to say. Whose interpretation of the bible am I supposed to adhere to? So I ask you, Is the bible the highest authority? You would likely say Yes. I say NO because people can make the bible say whatever they want it to say. However if you understand the bible from the original intent, you then have something special and true. The Bible does not say that it is the highest authority, but it does say that the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus is the highest authority that will lead us into all truth. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ within you, you have nothing, even if you have a bible. The bible is a roadmap to Christ written by men that knew him personally. Their intent to write was to guide others to know him personally for themselves. The bible is a map to God, but you still need to get on the highway and take the journey.
Though partially true, there is some trouble with what you claim here. We will agree that the Holy Spirit is needed to understand the truth, but it’s to understand the truth written in the Bible itself. The Holy Spirit works in harmony with the Word of God to lead individuals into a deeper understanding of God's truth. The Bible itself makes claims about its authority. For example, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 states, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." This verse highlights the divine inspiration and usefulness of Scripture in guiding believers. Now, it is true that there are various interpretations of the Bible, which can lead to confusion and differing perspectives among believers. But is the Bible to blame for that, and is it enough to question its original intent? Does this not rather underline the point that people without the Spirit are trying to lay out what “it really means”? It is worthy to point out (and even essential to recognize) that the diversity in translations does not negate the Bible's overall authority. Essential teachings remain consistent across the vast majority of biblical texts. That’s just a fact. The analogy of the Bible being a roadmap to Christ and the journey being a personal relationship with God is a valid perspective. The Bible indeed points to Christ and reveals the path to salvation and spiritual growth. However, it is through the Bible that we learn about Jesus, His teachings, and His redemptive work. The Bible remains the source for knowing God and understanding His plan. There is some very good material from gotquestions.org that address questions regarding biblical inerrancy. Finally, and most importantly, I hope this is not taken as a provocation, rather that it may help you further in your walk here on earth, and may the "Lord will give you understanding in all things." (2 Timothy 2:7)
@@crosspaint Furthermore, if you are claiming that the bible is inerrant, isnt that a claim that the bible is God? Certainly the bible is not inerrant and it can be easily seen that this is the case. There are contradictions in the bible that make it clear that it is not inerrant: * Matthew's account of the genealogy of Jesus through Joseph differs greatly from that of Luke. * The names of the Apostles are different from Matthew to Luke as well * The story of the man in the cemetery of Gadarenes from one account to another as do many of the other parables and stories that are in the scriptures. * If the bible is inerrant, how can it directly quote from Jeremiah in Matthew 27, whereas the quote is actually from Zechariah? Is this not an error? * What about the thief on the cross? "THIS DAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE" But doesnot this contradict John's account when he stated in John 20:17 and John 16:16, when Jesus is quoted as saying, "DO NOT TOUCH ME< FOR I HAVE NOT YET ASCRNDED TO THE FATHER" and "In a short time you will not see me (the cross), but then in a short time you will see me again (the resurrection), then I will go unto my Father (the ascension). Even Luke himself states the reason he wrote the book of Luke - and he does not say he wrote it because it was told by God to do so, but that he thought it was reasonable for him to do so because he had done much research and interviewed many people on the subject, and that he got his information from many that claimed to be witnesses - second and third hand information. Here is the quote: Luke 1:1-4 "1. Since many have taken it upon themselves to write an account concerning the matters of he (Christ) who lived and walked among us, 2. just as it was offered (spoken) unto us by the eyewitnesses and servants that are living according to his instructions, 3. it seemed good for me to also write, since I have investigated everything from the beginning so that I could write unto you, my noble friend Theophilus, (This is evidence that the book of Luke was not dictated by nor inspired by God, but is the work of a man using his own logic, based upon his research.) 4. so that you might know that which you have been taught is true. (Acts 20:29-31) " Truth must be exposed in these final days leading up to the return of Christ concerning many things. This is my calling. Much is lost in the scriptures due to translation and more is lost due to interpretation. If we are to gain wisdom from the scriptures - they MUST be understood through the eyes of the original intent, because all else is corruption. In writing and in language, one man has a thought he wants to convey to others, so it is put into words, whether spoken or written. If you do not receive the information that he intended to relate, you can not gain the wisdom of which he attempted to convey, but misunderstand and are led astray into error. You referred me to a website called GOT QUESTIONS. Yes I am familiar with that website and the false information that they bring forth. They are a tool of Satan who are misleading many to be indoctrinated in the standard quo of modern christianity, of which is very different than the Christianity of 100 years ago, and extremely different than the Christianity of the late first century AD. My ministry is to expose the falsehood and bring truth to Light. I pray that you have a heart for truth and are completely honest with yourself before God, that my words might resignate with you to lead you to dig much deeper and challenge the ideology that you have been fed. May God bring you his truth.
The Bible is the word of God? Really? Here are some references to prove that Bible is corrupted Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, Was Joseph the son of Jacob or Heli? 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mothers name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. 2 Chronicles 22:2 (KJV) Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 years old when he began to reign in Judah? Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king and he reigned 8 years, so he was 40 when he died. Immediately Ahaziah takes over at the age of 42. How can a son be 2 years older than the father? 2 Samuel 24:9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand. 1 Chronicles 21:5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah. Were there eight hundred thousand men in Israel and five hundred thousand in Judah or one million one hundred thousand men in Israel and four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah? 2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. 2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: Had Michal no child unto the day of her death or had five sons? The Bible is not the word of God. There are 50,000 errors in the Bible.
wait if god has a son then who is the mother if there is a mother then why is holy spirit and why isn't the mother considered a god and who is the holy spirit is he god or what is he did he got created by god if he have then he wouldn't be god and if jesus is god then how did he born and people will say he is considered god cause he was born without a father but what about adam adam was born without a faither or mother why don't you guys consider him god or the son of god?
Christ is the Word of God. The Bible can reveal the Word (logos/logic) of God. In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Words on a page are not the logos of God. The words on the page in John 1:1 among countless other verses reveal who the Word is. The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, even piercing to the division of soul and spirit, and when He was 17 He grew a beard.
Hey, thanks for leaving a comment. That’s a weak statement, though, as it was never mentioned that Saul never met Jesus face to face. Saul met Jesus in a supernatural way as well. Acts 9
@@crosspaint apparently god only talks to certain people whether you ask for his guidance or not. If the bible was as genuine as you make it sound we would all be Christians... but we're not. Why do you suppose there are so many vastly different interpretations? Not to mention the Islamic views.. The Bible is far from being clear on anything. A lot of the passages you mentioned are vague descriptions. Genesis is full of contradictions and fairy tales. I understand there are some good moral teachings in the new testament, but the old testament is full of garbage. Besides, there is very little historical evidence (if any) that any of these prophets existed (outside of the bible).

We get so many conflictive, contradictory claims about what a god thinks or wants its almost like everyone is just making up there own gods for their personal agenda.
Some authors of the books of the Bible don't even claim to have been inspired by God. Luke, for instance, he said that he had to search about what happened, he didn't claim that God appeared to him and talked to him what to write.
The internal evidence(prophecies documented by secular sources) support the credibility of scripture. If you're interested, I can send you some examples.
@@ripcord8738 Those prophecies are vague and often didn't even happen. Its like saying one day America will be in another war its most probably that, that will happen anyways. Just the fact that a god would need to dazzle us with miracles and prophecies when most of humanity will never even know if they come true or not is a little telling.
@@crosspaint You made a pathetic argument, because you cannot prove God you make a circular argument of it. The statement was Jesus never said he is the God and you need to reply that you are right Jesus never said he is the God.
Obviously, since God knew that attempts to discredit His word would proliferate, He provided internal, irrefutable evidence to support its' claim to be "divinely inspired".(2nd Tim.3:16,17)
The bible doesn't speak about god. Because there is no god in the bible. Period. Don't ask me either god exists or not, because I do not know. I just know that the bible doesn't speak about god. So it doesn't carry any word of god.

@Polo Loco That's what I want to know! I am a skeptical person, and i don't take any of the ideas i mentioned very seriously because it would be impossible to prove that people of the time had a certain worldview. therefore we can't conclude that the bible is divine word on this basis. It just happens to be the closest anyone has ever come to arguing for the bible's legitimacy in a remotely convincing way (again, not convinced). I want to be convinced though, and maybe there are some other ideas in the bible that people were unlikely to think of by themselves. i bet there are a couple of doozy's in there. Ultimately I don't think I will be convinced, but I find it very interesting

By the way, instead of using a 2000 year old book, as you suggest, althoug it is much older, 'cause Moses wrote after leaving Egypt with his people in 1606 BC and before he died in 1566 BC, you can easily believe a 6000 year old lie as everyone does who is not believing in Jesus Christ as his saviour and Lord.

Ok but how do I know that what is written today isn't just a corrupt version intentionally made to make people more divided and disconnected from God or that its written in such a way as to leave you with more questions that make it more likely for you to question God's existence because certain things don't make sense or contradict themselves
The bible has over 1400 copies and the recent copy from the original text was made 5 years after the original. It is through the copies we can compare the word of GOD. I recommend you looking into the dead sea scrolls.
@HOOKaFISH I actually read that one and I'm referring to theno fact that thousands of translations have been made not just by a direct translations from Hebrew to Latin but from Hebrew to Greek and then Greek to Latin. It's a whole mess of info, and although they SAY that we have pretty accurate translations today, we still have no way of guaranteeing that those who claim that to be true aren't in on the false prophecies or that even the direct translations wouldn't actually even work due to the fact that English is the farthest language from Hebrew making a lot of metaphors confusing or misleading. In fact we have so many Americans that read the Bible as being literal in so many stories and then believe them to be absolutely true no matter how ridiculous because God said so or believe the Bible to be all lies because of how ridiculous it sounds without ever actually understanding the philosophy behind it.
@@WhoToldYouThis By comparing the copies we can see what words are used whether it is Greek translation Hebrew, Aramaic etc. Also revision of the scriptures or context left out by going back to the oldest of the oldest copies. The KJV was a copy made in 1611 from the Bishops Bible copy of 1568. English and modern language has changed since 100 A.D and that is why the Bible has been revised into modern English versions (NASB, ASV etc.). The ancient scrolls have been found are are in safe keepings in modern day museums.

Those ppl who wrote the gospels they wrote these stories as how they heard long after jesus died, the revelations jesus received was armaic but these anonymous ppl wrote the gospels in hebrew and the letters and scriptures were greek, these stories even if they had authors can we believe them?
Here’s the thing. The KJV Bible is the only one that is not copyrighted. Every other Bible was written to make somebody rich. Also, if the NIV Bible, for example, was the word of God, why would God wait for so long to reveal his word to us? The KJV Bible is God’s word for English speaking people.
In Acts 16:6, God commanded Paul to take the gospel to English speaking people. God has ordained and chosen English-speaking people in a similar way in which he ordained and chose the Jewish people. Since English-speaking people are chosen by God, logic proves that the KJV Bible is the only in errant word of God. God would not leave his people in the dark for 2000 years. It simply doesn’t add up. God gave English-speaking people the KJV Bible. That is his word. Nothing else is his word.
In the garden of Eden, Satan took the word of God and corrupted it. That is how he attacks Christians and nonbelievers alike. He takes what God says and summarize it, and in summarizing it he corrupts what God said. How then, knowing this, can a Christian accept any summarized version of the KJV Bible?
Here’s the bottom line: the KJV Bible is the Word of God. Nothing else is the Word of God.

Thanks this was very interesting to watch 👍 how do we know that the Bible is 100% the word of God and doesn't contain any changes to the word of God by humans over time?
Which Bible should we read? Which is he first and who wrote all these different bibles?
Manuscripts. Monks had a tradition of transcripting into papyruses the different scriptures like gospels and epistles because papyruses degrade with time. Manuscripts have been found from different ages (like 5500 different manuscripts for the new testament) and they compared each other to check for differences. There's a 99% accuracy in texts only few word differences and mispelling were made. Also the original gospels are estimated to be from around the first century before the resurrection (30~ AC) being Mark the earliest (50-60~ AC) and John the latest (100~ AC).
@Yasmín MFabricio Bible means "books" in Greek and it's a collection of different books from a range of 1500 years, these books were written by different prophets and apostles were collected into an unique book "The Bible", the most sold book in all history and also a life guidance for a lot of people. There's only one bible but there are many translation to the bible. Translations are difficult to make because there are words and expressions that can't be translated from the original language to the target language (in this case English) and translators have to work around these problems and it may change slightly the meaning. The most recommendable thing to do is having at least 2 translations and the verses that you can't understand clearly, you can look at the other translation if it's better explained.
Since I'm a Spanish native speaker, I have "Palabra de Dios para Todos" (PDT) as the main translation, for me it's easier and it doesn't make the reading hard, and I have as a backup, "Reina Valera 1960" (RVR1960), which is an older translation and a bit harder but sometimes can help if I don't understand the other one. For english speakers, you have the most known translation King James Version (KJV), this is an old one and for instance a harder one, and the New International Version NIV, which is a newer and a easier one. I personally use the four ones when I research in Internet and the two first ones for home and the church I attend.

Since we are spiritual beings, it only makes logical sense that the Creator would communicate with us in Spirit, rather than in a physical way, that would put a human before Him.

II Peter 1:21
„For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.“
Hebrews 4:12
„“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.“
John 5:24
„I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.“
Ezekiel 36:26-27
„Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”“

@@yourwordisalamp1 you are coming with arguments with a book that i don't even believe in let's talk science and facts and validity and history not blindly following and copy pasting from a google search
@@Charles.Wright Me for dinner? I am not the body, I AM a spiritual being.
The Bible says that faith (is the assured expectation of things hoped for the evident demonstration of realities though not yet be held) 2 Timothy's 3:16 says all scripture is inspired of God . So Examen prophecy and you will find out if The Bible is true or not
And the Council of Nicea decided once and for all what is scripture and what is NOT! Case closed.
The only documents that can be correctly called "The word of God" are from occasions when God, Jesus, or the Apostles actually sat down with a scribe and dictated what they wanted set down for posterity or someone took their pocket recorder along to a meeting where the Holy Spirit was speaking. Any thing else can only be referred to as: "The word of God according to human interpretation." There is great value of The Letters contained in the New Testament - which actually provide first person accounts of what their authors had been told by Spirits Sent by God.
In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth.
"...earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light."
@@crosspaint Magnificent teaching! Stay humble & at the feet of JESUS!
Anyone can make that up.
Any proof?
The belief that the Bible is the word of God varies among different religious traditions and individuals. For many Christians, the Bible is considered sacred and believed to contain divinely inspired teachings and messages. Others may interpret the Bible as a collection of historical and cultural writings. The perception of the Bible's divine origin is a matter of personal faith and theological interpretation.
NO, NOT REALLY.
the bible DEFINITIVELY is NOT the word of god.
it's not a matter of interpretation.
and this is really easy to resolve as well, Unlike most biblical debates which are complicated and subject to debate and personal opinion.... and can last for decades without a clear answer.. This one absolutely is not.
This is very black and white . Nothing to get confused over.
The only thing that can go wrong here is this.....
When presented with this
1. The christians MAKES A FEW ASSUMPTIONS
2. These Assumptions are incorrect but the christian is not aware of it
3. The christian see's this information as being a threat to their belief
4. As a result THEY IGNORE IT AND PRETEND IT'S FALSE
But it's not false... it's impossible to be false
HERE IS WHAT YOU DO TO FIND OUT IF THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD OR NOT.
let's ask a question : If you bought a car that had a badge saying "Toyota Corolla"
and someone told you "that's not a Toyota Corolla" and they ran through a few features of teh car, the lights are wrong, it doesn't come with this or that option etc etc
HOW WOULD YOU ABSOLUTELY AND CONCLUSIVELY TELL IF IT WAS A TOYOTA COROLLA OR NOT ?
ANSWER : you could debate it, but if no one is willing to come to a civil conclusion, YOU GET A RULING FROM THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE CAR.
Obviously you ask questions like
"Hi Toyota, is this car your car ?"
They would then ask you some challenge questions , logically, for say a
V.I.N. (Vehicle Identification Number)
Now.. Your Vehicle MUST have this number, if it doesn't, it conclisively IS NOT a Genuine Toyota Corolla Because Toyota states that EVERY car they make has one.
so.. You give them the V.I.N. and they tell you , Yes or NO
AND.. IF IT COMES BACK "YES"
the other person who said it isn't.... ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DEBATE THE POINT.
they can however choose to ignore the point and pretend it's wrong.
BUT FACT IS FACT....
BY THE SAME METHOD....
1. We know that people are not going to come to a civil and unified agreement on
whether the bible is god's word or not
THEREFORE LET'S GO TO THE SOURCE THAT CREATED THE BIBLE
Here is how you approach this problem
2. START WITH THE SIMPLEST QUESTION
so.. Questions like this are pointless
- is the bible a lie
- is the bible truth
- is the bible real
- is the bible historically accurate
NONE OF THAT MATTERS
Before anything you want to establish
IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD
After that, You can decide
- if god lied
- if god told the truth
- if it's historically accurate
and of course the bible is real. that's a dumb question to ask.
NOW... You don't start with EVERY BIBLE,
You start with, YOUR OWN BIBLE
Since you are trying to prove this to yourself
FOR WHAT PURPOSE ?
ANSWER : To establish if YOU PERSONALLY are reading and following a false word.
- Once you establish that, you can look at other bibles
3. SO YOU ESTABLISH THE VERSION OF BIBLE THAT YOU HAVE
4. YOU CALL THE ONE THAT CREATED THE BIBLE
Google "Who has the publishing rights to (Insert your bible version here)"
5. Once you find out the names of the companies that publish your bible.
FIND THEIR PHONE NUMBER
thankfully there will be like only 3 - 5 of them
chances are.. if you call the one in your country it will likely be the correct one
6. THEN YOU ASK THEM DIRECTLY as follows
"Question 1 - I have a bible here and i want to know if this is a bible that you created and printed"
they will get you to describe the bible or give them the ISDN.
it's pretty clear by the cover which one is their one as they don't copy from each other
After they say , yes thats' one of ours
QUESTION 2 : "I'd like to know something, i'm going to ask you a direct and honest question and i'd like an honest answer...... IS THIS BIBLE OF YOURS THE ACTUAL AND LITERAL WORD OF GOD ?"
The answer you will receive will be ....
"No it's not" sometimes they say this
"Not it's not literally the word of god, However it is the inspired word of god"
to which you ask for clarification like this..
QUESTION 3 "OK. so.. INSPIRED BY WHO ? so.. When you were writing the bible, was god there to tell you what to write, or... did he speak to your prior to writing and gave you inspiration , Where di you derive your inspiration from "
The answer is something like this
"No, god was not there personally speaking to us, We take inspiration from other bibles, so the way that we put our book together is we go through a collection of other bibles and we decide what we deem to be appropriate for our bible and our readers, our bible is a collection of multiple biblical sources, primarily other bibles"
QUESTION 4 - "Ok, so are any of of these other bibles, the actual and literal word of god"
ANSWER : "No they are not"
QUESTION 5 : "OK, so.. Other than Translations and the appearance of the cover, Since your first bible that you released, have you ever changed or edited your bible, or released further versions after the first"
then answer is something like this
"Yes we have, although we reserve the right to alter the bible without any notification as we hold the rights to the bible" (they will actually state, THE VERSION they hold the rights to) Because it's a legal requirement to no misrepresent and conflict with other publishers
SO THAT'S HOW YOU FIND OUT
AND THERE IS YOUR ANSWER CONCLUSIVELY
- they created it
- God's word never entered the equation at any point
- If there ever was an original word (which there wasn't) it has now been changed
- they have put their book together from many other bibles BASED ON WHAT CHRISTIANS WANT TO HEAR AND WHAT SELLS
- They have then changed and altered it as they see fit to sell more bibles
SO.... ABSOLUTELY AND CONCLUSIVELY
THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD
therefore,
You Now can debate
- is the bible a lie (But it doesn't matter, Even if you find it to be true, it's not gods' word)
- is it historically accurate, it's not, But, even if you found it to be accurate. it's still not god's word
WHICHEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT THIS
IT'S NOT GOD'S WORD
YOU AS A CHRISTIAN ARE THEREFORE READING A WORD THAT IS NOT GOD'S WORD.
FOR ANYONE THAT NEEDS PROOF
GO AHEAD.... CALL YOUR PUBLISHER
I'm not making this up
I actually called all the publishers of the King James
then Most of the publishers of ALL of the other versions
to save you time.... They mostly say the same thing.
but you really need only be concerned with the bible you are reading
BUT TRUTH IS....
WE DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE BIBLE THAT IS ACTUALLY GOD'S WORD
so now christians will reject this BASED ON AN ASSUMPTION
that being... They believe they are being led away from god
NO... NOT AT ALL
YOU CAN STILL WORSHIP GOD AND PRAY TO HIM
YOU CAN STILL WORSHIP CHRIST AND PRAY TO HIM
there's nothing wrong with that
JUST DON'T READ A WORD THAT IS NOT HIS WORD
God is not a bible,
The bible is a book
they are 2 separate things
Leave the bible
Keep god and Jesus
But see.. that never occurs to them .
leaving the bible, does not mean you leave god.
it means you leave bullshit out of your relationship with god
it means YOU RESPECT GOD and don't follow a false word
As for the teachings of jesus
A CHRISTIAN SHOULD LOOK THESE UP HISTORICALLY, Not in the bible
and as for "so what do we do now ?"
YOU PRAY TO GOD AND ASK HIM WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO .
Now will he answer ?
I DON'T KNOW
I just said, You can continue to believe and pray to him and christ,
which is what you were doing anyway
THAT'S NOT HARD IS IT ?
BUT YEAH.... THE BIBLE ABSOLUTELY IS NOT GOD'S WORD
BECAUSE THE CREATOR OF IT SAYS SO
IT'S NOT A DEBATE
IT'S NOT AN OPINION
IT'S AN UNDISPUTABLE FACT THAT IS EASILY VERIFIED
if you disagree, You're wrong, Just like the Toyota Corolla
Jesus himself is the Word of God.

• *Mark 16:9-20* also a fabrication but still available in the Bible. Unbelievable.
*THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ELSE IS FABRICATED?*
hmm, I didn't know that it's hard to fast-forward and rewind Audio content.
Astonishing! Totally astonished me!
My first recollection of men suggesting that the Bible is God’s word was at the finalizing of the 1611 KJV, when Francis Bacon ascribed the authority of the KJV to King Iames, later to be known as King James, with the introduction of the J to our languages in 1524 and finally filtering down to the KJV some 87 years later! The earliest KJV has King Iames and his maeisty with no sign of a J! If King Iames (James) is ascribed that authority then it is clearly not the authority of God, who remains nameless throughout the entirety of the KJV!
Now don’t get me wrong, but every author I know of has his name added to the books he writes and get’s accredited by means of his name, but not so with the KJV, nor with the vast array of English translations, of which there are some 450 variants. No authors name leaves it wide open for anyone to claim what they will!
Now, would you not think that an almighty God could get it right first time and thus not require 450 different translations? Or are they who repeat the dogma that the Bible is the word of God really suggesting that God made so many mistakes?
Indeed, Yah did get it right in the original form, which Moshe put together as the words were dictated to him. This was the Towrah/Torah, not a Bible and then the Prophets and Psalms, but you don’t often hear this! Indeed, few if any really consider the Hebrew as the origin of the words, yet this is the most important to understand, because even the Bible would not exist without the original Towrah/Torah and that means if Yah had not required Moshe’s hand to write it, there would be no Bible!
Bible, Bible Bible is all you hear today! The very God who had his word written down by Moshe has a name and that name that you should know is Yahowah/Yahweh enunciated in different ways of speech, but not “Lord”!
Yet you hardly ever find “The Name of Yah” in any Bible. Don’t you think He knows His own name and would include it if it were is work? Do you think he would forget to add His name so you cannot call upon Him? All you find as the denoted author in the vast preponderance of Bibles is “Lord” so the lord must be the author, but that is not Yah!
In fact King James was lauded as the author, despite the fact he gave Bacon the responsibility for the pigs ear of a translation attempt!
The fact that can be proven is the Yah always communicated in the Hebrew language and never in English, Latin or Greek! So, If you really want the truth, original Hebrew is a must! Yet even the Hebrew language has gone through 4 major changes over the duration of time and there have been corrupt words added, changed and deletions have occurred!
The modern Hebrew uses diacritical markings to denote the word sounds as deliberated by men! So if men have had their hand in the corruption, then this is the Bible Babble of men who remain in Babylon!
Cognitive dissonance won’t work here, you cannot claim that the bible is the word of God, because it has been so corrupted by men as to only be the work of errant men with an agenda of mind control, by means of changed and corrupted words!
By means of proof, take “Holy” as an example, a Roman Catholic corruption of what was Qodesh, to be set apart, a cleansing exercise that both Yah can do for you and you can do for yourself by means of moving away and setting yourself apart from the lies and corruptions of the religious! Now, crowd pressure will likely make you think otherwise, so you will need to investigate for yourself, assuming truth is what you seek!
So whilst it’s difficult to understand how you can make yourself “Holy” it’s easy to understand how you can Qodesh - set yourself apart by seeking the truth, which few people can do because their minds are already pre programmed with a narrative of lies, which they accept! This is a cleansing exercise in many ways, but in this case it is cleaning up the lies and throwing them out, which you can do yourself
How about the J, what can you see in scripture with J? How can that be correct if it was not in existence at that time? Truth is it cannot be correct, since the J has only been in existence for less than 500 years at this time of writing in the year of 2022! Even then it was not widely used until the 1600’s, some 400 plus years ago as witnessed by the KJV change!
This must have the effect of making you start to think, have you been told the truth? If you can find just one wrong letter or word, then you are obligated to question further and investigate for yourself if you really desire truth!
If you are only going to accept man’s narrative, you will surely come across many errors! Don’t even accept my word for it, check it out for yourself and do your due diligence
Amen, the scriptures testify of themselves!
Amen!

This video makes no sense to me. It makes countless baseless assumptions and statements, just one example is the bit on Paul saying He Knows correlating with a basis in a fact. This is just someone saying they know something. I know plenty of Christians who claim They Know that god is the creator of the universe however this does not carry any proof to back it up and is completely baseless.
Paul knows because he met Christ. Like all apostles, they met him, saw him raised from the dead and changed forever since then, they began from being passive and coward people to active and courageous people sharing the gospel everywhere to everybody and even if it costs their life. And most of them were martyred and didn't retract any of the words they said and there's some historical proof of it, this can make you think that they thought that they were saying the truth, that Jesus was raised from the dead, when they were being killed since nobody dies for a lie .
@@ExNihiloNihilFit319 anyone could’ve claimed what they claimed. Doesn’t make it true. Probably wasn’t.

Have you read it ?
2nd Tim.3:16,17;John 17:17 These are the quotes you're looking for.
@@ripcord8738 those verses weren't written by God
@@jesusisdead The Bible is from God. Those verses that I sent are from the Bible but you say that they're not from God? Then where are they from?
@@ripcord8738 The people that wrote them. You know this is what is so messed up about Christianity. You know any person could insert a book into the Bible and because that book is now in the Bible somehow it has been deemed inspired by God because Paul wrote it or John. That fact still doesn't kill the gospel because Christ told us the gospel. Tell me how people go by without the Bible before it was written? Which was when Jesus walked the earth. The Bible used to contain 81 books and at that point that verse validated them and then they were removed
Bible doesn't call itself God's word. Bible calls Jesus Christ God's word.
And the cow jumped over the moon.
If this book is written from God to communicate truth to us, doesn’t it make logical sense that there wouldn’t be so many differing beliefs from that same book? How do we know who is right? I propose it is the Spirit of God that communicates truth to us from within.
The "differing" beliefs that you mention, were foretold to occur. Acts 20:29,30.
From that verse, knowing that true Christianity included the responsibility to share their beliefs with others, it's obvious that powerful men infiltrated the then existing congregations and influenced people into accepting a different "watered down" version, with virtually no resistance. 2nd Tim.4:3,4
It began with the establishment of the RCC. Then it spread to the Orthodox church and later, Protestantism.
If you're looking for truth, the identifying marks are John 13:34,35 and Matt.24:14. Then find out who fits that description.
God = Life
By definition, there can be only one all-inclusive or Absolute Being (Life), in which all relative beings 'live', move and have their Being.
Love is the conscious recognition (namaste') of our shared Being.
Faith = Faithful to...
John 1:1 - (paraphrase) - "The Word of Truth (Logos) is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality/Life (That which is/That I am).
Exodus 3:14 - "I am That I am."
I am That I am = I am That which is.
I = which
Am = is
Reality = That which is.
Life = That I am.
Reality/Life = That which is/That I am.

8:37 not sure if I'd say completely different, it comes close to a denial of Christ's humanity.
I was on the fence big time here . I live my life how I believe God wants me to , the very best I can . I’ve had many questions about the Bible , this video unfortunately has reaffirmed my initial idea that it written by man, and even though their intentions may have been pure for 95% of the Bible , man can not help himself . Why would God tell I think Moses that he should be able to loan money out but never borrow himself ? And this will lead him to the top?!? Do you not realize what that single statement has lead to on earth?! The world banking system. The most evil, enslaving system in the history of man. It makes me now really think about the world renown biblical translator Mario (can’t remember last name) who says that in the ORIGINAL text and language of the Bible , never , not once was God meant to be singular , the authors reference GODS plural even God himself says to the Jewish people you should have no other Gods before me . I am YOUR GOD.
God kept his promise to the Jews or atleast some of them, that’s for damn sure . The ones at the top of the banking system have been there since the first Jew started borrowing money to the Roman Emperor and other Rulers across the world. Did you know it was illegal for Romans to loan $$, and it was illegal for Christians to loan money , personal or in a business sense. But yet in the Bible God literally says if you loan out $ and never borrow you will come out on top?!?
Amazing video!!!
Thank you!
where is it on the bible says jesus manifest himself as god?
For example, in John 10:30, Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.” The Jews who heard Him make that statement knew well that He was claiming to be God, as witnessed by their reaction: “His Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him” (John 10:31). When He asked them why they were attempting to stone Him, they said, “For blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33).
Jesus made another statement claiming to be God when He said, “Very truly I tell you, . . . before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58).
It doesn't.
Crosspaint is quoting John 10:30 literally, as trinitarians usually do.
When Jesus said that "I and the father are one", he was referring to their unity, not that they were two people joined together.
At John 17:21-23, Jesus used the same terminology, in his prayer, to highlight the same unity(oneness) for his disciples.
He also did the same at Matt.19:5,6 to illustrate the "oneness" in a marriage.

In the supposed word of God, is there something that humans at that time could not have known?
Let´s see...
Earth is not precisely hanging on nothing. Besides, just by watching the sun and the moon, ancient people could figure out that earth was also "hanging on nothing". Nevertheless, other parts of the Bible say that earth is on pillars (Psalms 75 3)
The stars in the sky seems uncountable as seen from the earth, that´s not a divine revelation at all.
Very true. Exactly
Psalms 75:3 is not saying the earth is on pillars..
The term at Psalm 75:3 is a metaphor.
At 1st Tim.3:15 the congregation(church KJV) is likened to a "pillar". The same expression used at Gal.2:9 to describe James, Cephas, and John.
@@mesonmaanwasi5783 That's right. It's a metaphor.(unless someone decides to interpret it literally)
@@mesonmaanwasi5783
It's literally what it says.
I believe in GOD and I share mostly Christian views of god but I can’t get behind taking all my beliefs from a book that was written by a human especially when many things in the Bible make claims but don’t explain the claims. Plus I refuse to believe god would want to make people feel excluded/shameful for not following this books claims it just doesn’t come off to me as what you’d expect a Devine figure to be.
If you believe in god, don't look for it in the bible.
Because the bible has not been intended to talk about a god.
It's completely mistranslated.
@焼き鳥 the bible is merely written by men and contains chronicles of the people living back then. It contains some truths and some falsehoods, just like every modern history book, which is always written by the ones who made it thru.
There is no modern scholar, expert of biblical matters, who would states the bible is what christianity claims it to be.
In my opinion, there's no chance a divine, if ever exists, is something like the individual descripted in the old testament, depicted as a ruthless powerful colonizer. That's just the misunderstanding of ancient chronicles, the misinterpratation perpetrated by the ones who have "built" the firsts system of control of the masses: the religion.

@@denoa3166 lmao. The hard core is on the old testament, which is a collection of ancient chronicles preserved and transmitted thru generations in a time span of few thousand of years and coming from different cultures, from sumerians down to hebrews. The old testament is declared to be written according to the word of god, but it's not said anywhere.
The new testament we don't even know who wrote it down. Don't tell me John wrote his gospel because it's not true.
The new testament is twisted by theological mindset and it's written only once facts already happened in order to sustain a new religion.
Therefore, the answer is still: no.
Why do we consider the bible as a word of god?
Brainwashing works
Halelujah!!
At the end you claimed without presenting any evidence that God "wrote" the bible himself. Like he picked up a pen & started writing the Bible with his own hand. Right? Did you see that? When did he do that? What did he use to write his book on? On papers or animal skins or rocks? What was his pen made of? Did he build his own pen & paper? Did he write it in his palace in Haven on he came down to the earth & sat on a rock & started writing it? What language did he use to write his book? Is that the language God speaks? Why does God even have to have a book?
and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:15-17
Human authors wrote Scriptures being led with Holy Spirit. Over 40 authors from diverse background on course of 1500 years.
With help from a God they were able to write consistent texts with no human error.
Also prophesies that are fulfilled that no man could ever predict alone.
For example: Old Testament predict Jesus.
On New Testament Jesus predicts destruction of Israel's second temple.
And accurate historicity, some confirmed by archeological evidence.
God wanted His word in book, because it's written text and is far better than oral tradition that is keen to change along the years.
Old Testament books were originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic and New Testament books were written in Koine Greek. With good translators Gods word was translated to multiple languages, so God speaks all languages.
Bible books, were written originally on stone tablets, wooden tablets, clay tablets, papyrus,

the only fact u said was that the Bible was written by man, so it's only man's word, created in men's minds, & written by men's hands on different material on earth. so it's all man's word, not God's word, as u proved me right too.
@@mei6487 To know that God had nothing to with making the books of the Bible, you claim to be:
1. Omniscient
You are claiming to be an all-knowing authority on the subject of God’s inspiration, to refute God’s claim that Scripture was inspired by Him (2 Timothy 3:16).
2. Omnipresent
You are claiming that you were present, both spiritually and physically, to observe that God had no part in aiding any of the biblical authors
3. Omnipotent
You are claiming that if God had tried to help the biblical authors, then you had the power to stop such an action.
So you claim to be God.
To refute your words being Gods word however, I don't need to be those three things above. Jesus approved Old Testament prophetic works and New Testament apostolic works. Bible Canon is sealed. No new texts are to be expected. God has spoken all He wanted us to know.
Last book of the Bible, Book of revelation, Jesus says:
warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Revelation 22:18-19
@@KingPingviini @King Pingviini , all I asked was to prove to me that "the Bible is the word of God" (the word that actually came out of God's mouth), but u all didn't prove that to me & all you wrote was that the Bible is written by man(many men long after Jesus died) and these men were INSPIRED by God. now another one u should prove to me Prove to me that they were "inspired" by God? you were not in their heads, so how can u be so sure God went inside their heads somehow & talked to them then they wrote the word of God? (what if they had mental problems & hallucinated stuff? what if they lied to achieve higher positions in society? etc). so it's all nothing but your BELIEFS, no proofs, no evidence, nothing, just your beliefs. And beliefs/faiths are the opposite of the scientific method (the process to prove a theory/idea/belief through evidence & multiple testings to achieve a solid Fact). you can't have a Faith & call it Fact too. Faith & Fats don't mix. never.
*Believe all you want; your faith is admirable to me. I'm not here to take away your belief or faith. i can't do it anyway, because faith is the strongest force in the believers' lives. even if I could I wouldn't want to take your faith away from you. so believe all you want, as strong as you want, for your happiness & life is your faith, & you're better that way. all I'm saying is Not to mix faith with facts. facts are boring; faiths are exciting. Faith is magical.*
Any book that claims to be "divinely inspired", such as the Bible (2nd Tim.3:16,17) would then have to provide internal evidence to support that claim. Otherwise, it's only credulity.
The Bible's strongest proof of its' credibility is prophecy. It contains dates, places, names, and events that have been corroborated and confirmed by reliable secular sources, as well.
Book trust it believe it or burn in the new lake of Fire he built for you just incase you can't because he loves you. Blessings😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It actually was not created for humans. Matthew 25 says that the "…lake of fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
When we understand the holiness of God, all of this makes sense.
@@crosspaint Well tell that to the Christians Who believe Jesus Built the LAKE OF FIRE For any one who just can't believe it. KING JAMES
I understand that there might be people who believe that… but unfortunately, it’s not what the Bible teaches. God created the Lake of fire for the devil and his angels. However, the devil has, since the dawn of creation, worked extensively to take others with him. Already in the garden of Eden he came and tempted man… and succeeded.
Sin entered into the world and with it condemnation. We are born with a sin nature, but God, through grace, has restored a way back to Him, but now it’s by choice, and not by default.
If you have more questions directly related to this subject, I suggest this link:

Btw jesus did not speak or write in English nor carried a book
That’s a fact! 😀
But it’s also quite well known…
Disappointing. In the first minute, we assume God wants to speak to mankind. OK. How should He do this? (Remember God exists outside of space and time.)
The speaker decides the BEST way for GOD to do this is to appear physically once, limited by TIME. Then tell people to write a book about it?? Really?
God is much smarter than that
And then leave the integrity of his message at the mercy of the interpretation of imperfect human beings?
Do I believe the bible? Which bible, as there are many that say many different things from one another. Even from among the ancient texts there are great variations between them.
Furthermore, there are many differing interpretations of what each verse has to say. Whose interpretation of the bible am I supposed to adhere to?
So I ask you, Is the bible the highest authority?
You would likely say Yes.
I say NO because people can make the bible say whatever they want it to say.
However if you understand the bible from the original intent, you then have something special and true.
The Bible does not say that it is the highest authority, but it does say that the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus is the highest authority that will lead us into all truth.
If you do not have the Spirit of Christ within you, you have nothing, even if you have a bible.
The bible is a roadmap to Christ written by men that knew him personally. Their intent to write was to guide others to know him personally for themselves.
The bible is a map to God, but you still need to get on the highway and take the journey.
Though partially true, there is some trouble with what you claim here. We will agree that the Holy Spirit is needed to understand the truth, but it’s to understand the truth written in the Bible itself. The Holy Spirit works in harmony with the Word of God to lead individuals into a deeper understanding of God's truth. The Bible itself makes claims about its authority. For example, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 states, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." This verse highlights the divine inspiration and usefulness of Scripture in guiding believers.
Now, it is true that there are various interpretations of the Bible, which can lead to confusion and differing perspectives among believers. But is the Bible to blame for that, and is it enough to question its original intent? Does this not rather underline the point that people without the Spirit are trying to lay out what “it really means”?
It is worthy to point out (and even essential to recognize) that the diversity in translations does not negate the Bible's overall authority. Essential teachings remain consistent across the vast majority of biblical texts. That’s just a fact.
The analogy of the Bible being a roadmap to Christ and the journey being a personal relationship with God is a valid perspective. The Bible indeed points to Christ and reveals the path to salvation and spiritual growth. However, it is through the Bible that we learn about Jesus, His teachings, and His redemptive work. The Bible remains the source for knowing God and understanding His plan.
There is some very good material from gotquestions.org that address questions regarding biblical inerrancy.
Finally, and most importantly, I hope this is not taken as a provocation, rather that it may help you further in your walk here on earth, and may the "Lord will give you understanding in all things." (2 Timothy 2:7)
@@crosspaint
Furthermore, if you are claiming that the bible is inerrant, isnt that a claim that the bible is God?
Certainly the bible is not inerrant and it can be easily seen that this is the case.
There are contradictions in the bible that make it clear that it is not inerrant:
* Matthew's account of the genealogy of Jesus through Joseph differs greatly from that of Luke.
* The names of the Apostles are different from Matthew to Luke as well
* The story of the man in the cemetery of Gadarenes from one account to another as do many of the other parables and stories that are in the scriptures.
* If the bible is inerrant, how can it directly quote from Jeremiah in Matthew 27, whereas the quote is actually from Zechariah? Is this not an error?
* What about the thief on the cross? "THIS DAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE" But doesnot this contradict John's account when he stated in John 20:17 and John 16:16, when Jesus is quoted as saying, "DO NOT TOUCH ME< FOR I HAVE NOT YET ASCRNDED TO THE FATHER" and "In a short time you will not see me (the cross), but then in a short time you will see me again (the resurrection), then I will go unto my Father (the ascension).
Even Luke himself states the reason he wrote the book of Luke - and he does not say he wrote it because it was told by God to do so, but that he thought it was reasonable for him to do so because he had done much research and interviewed many people on the subject, and that he got his information from many that claimed to be witnesses - second and third hand information. Here is the quote:
Luke 1:1-4
"1. Since many have taken it upon themselves to write an account concerning the matters of he (Christ) who lived and walked among us,
2. just as it was offered (spoken) unto us by the eyewitnesses and servants that are living according to his instructions,
3. it seemed good for me to also write, since I have investigated everything from the beginning so that I could write unto you, my noble friend Theophilus,
(This is evidence that the book of Luke was not dictated by nor inspired by God, but is the work of a man using his own logic, based upon his research.)
4. so that you might know that which you have been taught is true. (Acts 20:29-31) "
Truth must be exposed in these final days leading up to the return of Christ concerning many things. This is my calling.
Much is lost in the scriptures due to translation and more is lost due to interpretation.
If we are to gain wisdom from the scriptures - they MUST be understood through the eyes of the original intent, because all else is corruption.
In writing and in language, one man has a thought he wants to convey to others, so it is put into words, whether spoken or written. If you do not receive the information that he intended to relate, you can not gain the wisdom of which he attempted to convey, but misunderstand and are led astray into error.
You referred me to a website called GOT QUESTIONS. Yes I am familiar with that website and the false information that they bring forth. They are a tool of Satan who are misleading many to be indoctrinated in the standard quo of modern christianity, of which is very different than the Christianity of 100 years ago, and extremely different than the Christianity of the late first century AD. My ministry is to expose the falsehood and bring truth to Light. I pray that you have a heart for truth and are completely honest with yourself before God, that my words might resignate with you to lead you to dig much deeper and challenge the ideology that you have been fed. May God bring you his truth.
The Bible is the word of God? Really?
Here are some references to prove that Bible is corrupted
Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Was Joseph the son of Jacob or Heli?
2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mothers name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 22:2 (KJV) Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 years old when he began to reign in Judah?
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king and he reigned 8 years, so he was 40 when he died. Immediately Ahaziah takes over at the age of 42. How can a son be 2 years older than the father?
2 Samuel 24:9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand.
1 Chronicles 21:5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
Were there eight hundred thousand men in Israel and five hundred thousand in Judah or one million one hundred thousand men in Israel and four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah?
2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
Had Michal no child unto the day of her death or had five sons?
The Bible is not the word of God. There are 50,000 errors in the Bible.
wait if god has a son then who is the mother if there is a mother then why is holy spirit and why isn't the mother considered a god and who is the holy spirit is he god or what is he did he got created by god if he have then he wouldn't be god and if jesus is god then how did he born and people will say he is considered god cause he was born without a father but what about adam adam was born without a faither or mother why don't you guys consider him god or the son of god?
You can torture the text of the Bible until it says whatever you want it to say. That's what the people who made this video have done.
Christ is the Word of God. The Bible can reveal the Word (logos/logic) of God. In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Words on a page are not the logos of God. The words on the page in John 1:1 among countless other verses reveal who the Word is. The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, even piercing to the division of soul and spirit, and when He was 17 He grew a beard.
Wdym by when he was 17 he grew a beard
@@babatunde7576 Jesus grew a beard presumably around age 17. Just saying Jesus is the Word, not the Bible.

That’s why 50% books of the bible is written by Paul of Tarsus who never met Jesus.
Hey, thanks for leaving a comment. That’s a weak statement, though, as it was never mentioned that Saul never met Jesus face to face. Saul met Jesus in a supernatural way as well. Acts 9
That doesnt show that its 100% uncorrupted though it proves that jesus was connected to god and most of it is intact
Sorry guys, God is the bible. Steven anderson just admitted in one of his sermons.
If you're the human manifastation of God, why would u call yourself sof of God? I.e. Son of yourself? Makes no sense
There's still God the father.
That's because he's not God. He never was.
The bible is the only way to know god
Amen
@@crosspaint "And they will know we are Christians by our Bible knowledge"
Soooo if you read it thoroughly you start hearing whispers and imagining things.
@@crosspaint apparently god only talks to certain people whether you ask for his guidance or not.
If the bible was as genuine as you make it sound we would all be Christians... but we're not. Why do you suppose there are so many vastly different interpretations? Not to mention the Islamic views..
The Bible is far from being clear on anything. A lot of the passages you mentioned are vague descriptions. Genesis is full of contradictions and fairy tales. I understand there are some good moral teachings in the new testament, but the old testament is full of garbage. Besides, there is very little historical evidence (if any) that any of these prophets existed (outside of the bible).
I'm not sure. Did Abraham not know God when the bible was bearly written if at all?
I think those people who quote the words of bible are insanely crazy.
I had no idea the arguments for the Bible being the word of God we're so pathetically weak.
What's "weak" about them?
If the bible is the word of god why is it so wrong?
NO!!!!!!
You can't prove it because it isn't.
You can't prove it isn't, if it don't exist
Anyone can write a book and endorse it yourself by claiming you were inspired by some supreme beings voice or thoughts. No the bible isn't the word of god its just claimed to be the word of god with zero evidence to back it up.
Did you check out the evidence?
@@crosspaint How do you test claims about a guy coming back from the dead when it only happened once in a story and never has it ever been demonstrated to scientifically be possible? How is this evidence and not just a claim? We get so many conflictive, contradictory claims about what a god thinks or wants its almost like everyone is just making up there own gods for their personal agenda.
Some authors of the books of the Bible don't even claim to have been inspired by God.
Luke, for instance, he said that he had to search about what happened, he didn't claim that God appeared to him and talked to him what to write.
The internal evidence(prophecies documented by secular sources) support the credibility of scripture.
If you're interested, I can send you some examples.
@@ripcord8738 Those prophecies are vague and often didn't even happen. Its like saying one day America will be in another war its most probably that, that will happen anyways. Just the fact that a god would need to dazzle us with miracles and prophecies when most of humanity will never even know if they come true or not is a little telling.
It is not.
Jesus never said he is the God
he never said he wasn't God either... and he allowed people to worship him. Why ?
@@crosspaint
You made a pathetic argument, because you cannot prove God you make a circular argument of it.
The statement was Jesus never said he is the God and you need to reply that you are right Jesus never said he is the God.
Bible is NOT the word of God, it was made by people, not God himself.
Obviously, since God knew that attempts to discredit His word would proliferate, He provided internal, irrefutable evidence to support its' claim to be "divinely inspired".(2nd Tim.3:16,17)
The bible doesn't speak about god.
Because there is no god in the bible. Period.
Don't ask me either god exists or not, because I do not know.
I just know that the bible doesn't speak about god.
So it doesn't carry any word of god.
The first verse of the Bible: “In the beginning, GOD…"
@@crosspaint Shallow.
The first verse of the bible: "Bereshit bara Elohim"
In the beginning, the Elohim (plurality of individuals) 'created' by cutting out or carving (so intervening in an already existing situation)............
- There isn't an hebrew term indicating 'creation out of nothing'....
- To translate Elohim (plural) with god (singular) is a deliberately false translation.
The bible doesn't speak about god.
This is fake, and doesn't prove anything.
