This video must be explaining the Truth ,as Face Book stopped me from sharing it and tagging my friends.....as they said it does not conform to "community standards"...of course Jesus in His day did not "conform" to the "community standards" either.🤣🙏
What country are you in? We'd be interested to hear whether anyone else is having this problem. - RF Admin
@@drcraigvideos Australia
@@lazydazs didn't they like.... take your guns?
Lol. I'm kidding. I've been to Australia and it's basically like Alaska where my grandparents live: a whole different world with lots of things trying to kill you. Anyways, Australia is second only to being in Croatia on the coast of the Adriatic sea. That was magical.
I'm gonna literally be forever (seriously) in about 2 weeks if I don't get emergency funding from this group. I have no clue if I will and it's kinda a long shot, so please pray for me.
I literally have no way to get out of it that I can think of. I was an addict from age 23-30 and I just hit 2 years clean and my family is VERY supportive, but just not financially (taking into account that while they're not WEALTHY, they're rich. Divorced, but both own multiple properties. Like no mortgage, Dad just bought a new truck and his wife a new land rover and sold me his '98 Volvo he'd been driving as an accounting professor to class. Lol. It's a pretty bad looking car, but they're SO frugal most of the time. Dad only lives in a $600K house, with literally at least bedrooms they haven't been in in months that are fully furnished. My mom only has 2 extra rooms because she turned one into an office and the other into a playroom. I never stole from them or anything and I did heroin in 2013 for 3 months only (it is awesome, but you'll ruin your entire life. Lost my fiance of 7 years when she found out, but i say all that just to say how frustrating it is when people are like, "just stay with your parents man. You don't have to be homeless!" And I have to explain it to them and then they're like, "You've been sober 2 years though!" (I'm 32 by the way) and i have to explain they still won't (I honestly don't know why.
I also have absolutely nothing that would come anything close to friend besides a 54 year old alcoholic I met at my first rehab (went to like 8 or so) and a counselor from there, but the one guy is back in rehab and lives in Raleigh and I'm in Charlotte (that's why $600K is a fair amount for a house, but I mentioned that price because that's actually a below average house for that area despite being 5200sq ft) and the other one is a 76 year old counselor. Then I text my mom like all day.
But, I have bipolar (and other things) and had my second episode of my entire life immediately after losing my SECOND job since I've been sober (BAD alcohol detox totally wrecked my memory to where I can only pretend for like 7-8 months. I have an accounting degree and a good resume though, but my second bipolar attack hit about a week after I got fired (4/21 - fire date) and I THINK it's over now. That was sleeping once every 4 days. One time I was up 6 days and one hour and you're ALWAYS doing something when you're manic because your mind won't let you chill. Think your 12 hour shift of being on your feet wore you out? Try having your mind face so fast you can't even sit down and you're starting a new project literally every 2 minutes because you forget what you're doing. I barely ate or drank either because you don't get hungry and in these 7 weeks (6/12 today), I went from 229lbs to 179lbs today. That's from how little you eat but also the massive amount of calories you burn my actively doing stuff for 24 hours a day. With all that, imagine your nurse shift of 12 hours, but you have to do it 12x back to back to back to back, etc.... oh and without eating, drinking or even a 5 minute break. That's my 6 days and 1 hour awake period.
Needless to say, I've not been able to even work part-time because I can't commit to a shift!
So eviction filed and will be homeless probably for the next 35 years or whatever the lifespan of being homeless is and that's because I'm 32 and:
- will now have TWO evictions and this room I'm renting in a house now was hard enough to find and I went through so many before someone took me and my credit is like 550 and now about 500 after she filed the papers today, so no one will ever rent to me again because of the evictions even if I saved up a few grand SOMEHOW
- absolutely no money at all
- no friends or family that would ever let me stay with them even for a few days
- no money for my VERY important mental medication for bipolar, two antidepressants, a small amount of xanax, adhd meds and a medicine that prevents you from doing opiates called suboxone. It's kept me clean and sober. Coming off of those at the same time is likely deadly (which I'll welcome with open arms because it means heaven) or just hell on earth when you combine going cold turkey on suboxone, but with the Xanax, you can die. Xanax and alcohol withdrawals will kill you. Add in the fact that it's June and I live in the deep south so it'll be blazing hot and I'll have nothing to do, so no distractions, no toilet for when my stomach gets messed up from it, nofan or AC, worry about thieves, etc...
- horrible credit so I couldn't rent an apartment or house
- how would I save money anyways?
- couldn't work because of smell and appearance
- basically nothing I can think of
I'm seriously going to be on the streets basically forever in a couple weeks UNLESS I just HAPPEN to get money from this organization. It's just so messed up how I'm finally sober over not just the 1 year mark which was a record, but TWO years!
This was not what I expected from getting sober! I was doing better as a drunk! Work- wise anyways except the times I was drinking 45-50 drinks a day and would wake up every 4 hours from sleeping and be shaking so bad I had to chug liquor to calm down. THAT was SO miserable.
Then I got properly medicated like before all this happened and I've been sober since. WHY NOW am I facing homelessness?? Even if I went to a rehab or mental hospital or whatever, that's just a slight delay in being homeless.
I don't know what to do, but I listen to a Charles Stanley sermon about the impossible and he said I shouldn't be saying, "what am I going to do, but instead, God, what are YOU going to do?" That really spoke to me because I've been repeating to myself, "Joshua, how are you gonna pull yourself out of THIS one?? You've been in some crazily ridiculous situations, but this one takes the cake for having no idea on what to do.
My plan is to go to my moms and make like 1,000 copies of my resume and attach a story of why I'm homeless and what to expect on the back of them and try to look and dress nice (won't last long), but, and I think this is absolutely brilliant if I may say so, I'll hold a sign saying, "Resumes : $1." Who wouldn't pay a dollar to daggum read a HOMELESS persons RESUME? lol. This might be my get rich plan. I figure I'll either make a decent amount of money OR I'll get a job or both! Sounds like a solid idea, right?
Please pray I can stay inside though you guys and on my meds and all that. I'm so depressed now that I'm through with the terrible mania and my joints and back and head and feet finally stopped hurting after I've slept two nights in a row now.
If you read all this, God bless you and let's pray for each other. I haven't even listened to this message yet, but I think it's good be good.
May God bring discipline and change to Facebook!

@@valcrist7428 logic for you to survive in this world,to make money etc...but to survive life after death you need faith because your logic is no longer needed. That's why no one can answer your question because God needs your faith not your logic...and God didn't make you to worship Him it's free will...if your logic say you don't need God so be it. Jesus once said "you didn't chose me,I chose you" our God is not a beggar,our God is mighty! God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
@@valcrist7428 It seems to me that you've failed to correctly apply the factor of grace in every aspect of man’s salvation to God. The biblical teaching of grace demands a universal salvation in Christ when it is understood fully. The New Testament shows grace in salvation (without any works by man), and that salvation has its commencement in Christ, is sustained by Christ, and that it will be completed by the exclusive power of Christ.
Jesus Christ is coming soon 😍😍😍😍 I don't care what the world think..Just read revelation and look around you for a while...I love you Jesus ❤️❤️
He never left: "I am with you til the end of time"

I’m rather surprised that there is no reference to Psalm 19:1-4a; “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.”
Romans 1:20 also says “For [God’s] invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So [all human beings] are without excuse.”

ROMAN- 2:12- 16 - Roman 1: 18- 32 . IGNORANT OF THE LAW IS NO Excuse…the law of GOD is already ingrained in man. Those who heard about Christ will be judge accordingly to their knowledge. Those who don’t or never heard of Him will be judged accordingly to the law ingrained in them . Eg. This is simple logic ..cheating or harming your fellow human or stealing is a bad thing. Everyone know this without being told.

3:49 'the truth of the view is independent of how the person came to believe it' this phrase assumes that someone has access to the truth. Some believe the earth is flat. I believe the earth is round based on satellite images although I've never been to space or Antarctica to see for myself. Some might still still believe the earth revolves around the sun based on their regional and cultural beliefs. As rediculous as that might sound to some people, it would be arrogant to impose your truth in someone else's. Fact is, most people ARE born into beliefs and ARE pressured to keep their belief because they risk rejection and alienation.
if this is true then even atheists is also pressured by western contemporary society to be atheistic

Because there is no strength in that argument! It is just marketing gimmick to misguide innocent people.
Reincarnation is the nature of reality for all people - Hindu, Christians, atheists etc. So,
if Jesus was only way, who was the way before Jesus?
I would Jesus is no way, unless a person uses his free will to pursue God with love and devotion

If you want to know truth, study the history of religion, the origin of human, and theology. Identify and examine which religion is rational, and why it contradicts others religions. When you find truth, you will see why Jesus is the only way !
I will add this to my list! Thanks.

Is there a Part II video? The cliff hanger was going to address those people who had not heard about Christ. I am curious why the Gospel says about people whom did not have a chance to know Christ, as maybe they were born and died before Christ came.
th-cam.com/video/a82G0UdfHZ8/w-d-xo.html. This will answer your question. God bless.
The answers to this question depends on the person giving the answer, and their personality. You can read into the bible whatever you want it to say.
If this was not true there would not be thousands of different denominations of Christianity, each with different interpretations.
Fred, if we take them at their word, the gospel authors didn't care about people who were born before Jesus. Romans ch. 2 does say that all men can know God by listening to their heart. But in my experience Christians don't seem to like it when you bring that up.

Jesus Christ is the One True Living God. I was born into a Hindu family and I practiced as such. However, in grade 5, my dad was saved after watching a sermon on TV. My mom also converted to Christ. So they forced me to convert as well, at the time I couldn't understand why and I said my goodbyes to Hinduism and its gods and I welcomed my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into my life. For the first time as a child I felt peace, His peace. You see as a Hindu, I always heard this voice in my head, and everytime I did what the voice told me to do I got into trouble, such as lying or stealing marbles for example on the playground. So, still a child, as a practicing Hindu I decided I wasn't going to listen to that voice anymore and I'd do the opposite of what that voice told me to do and then I wouldn't get into trouble or do troublesome things. That voice was the voice of the enemy, without accepting Jesus Christ into my life I was open to demonic possession and demonic influence. That voice was a demon/demons trying to lead me every day further and further down this dark, sinful path surely in the hopes to one day kill me. Only from the day I accepted The One True Living God Jesus Christ into my life did those voices stop completely. I was instilled with God's spirit, and the Holy Spirit guided my heart. It is never too late to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I've never felt such peace in every aspect, mind, body and my soul as the day I met the Lord. And since grade 5 I've been walking on a journey with Jesus. And ever since that day when I was 11 years old I have always felt Jesus Christ wants the best for me. I am at peace, thanks to His name. If you want peace, eternal life, for the voices in your head to stop and you want True perfect love, give Jesus Christ a chance I promise you, you will never regret it. Take this word from me, someone who practiced Hiduism growing up, you'll never experience anything like Jesus Christ. There is power in His name. Give it a try, just repeat His name a few times out loud and you will feel his presence, and your body will be at peace. Compare that feeling to anything else and I promise you, you will never look back. Amen, praise be to the One True Living God who sacrificed Himself on earth with His blood, for your name sake, His Holy name, Jesus Christ.
Wow brother you can be a great testimony. Why don't you upload a video to tell Indians that Jesus is only way the truth and life. Thanks for your sharing. I hope sooner Hindus will accept Jesus and the entire world. May the peace of Jesus be with all.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God

There are still some human hunter gatherer tribes that exist today and have no contact with the outside world. Do they not get saved? And how about all the countless human who lived before Jesus Christ. Do they not get saved simply because they were born at the wrong time? I love Christian teachings but this is where I struggle to believe Jesus is the ONLY way to god and heaven.
Maybe it is my imagination, but the voice of the speaker seemed me to be the one of the catholic scientist Karin öberg.
I think the religions are connected to some truth. Perhaps there is a piece of the puzzle in each culture around the world.
There is another view from the perspective of religious pluralism that I would like to hear addressed. The idea is as follows: all religions are indeed leading the truth, but, all religions contain some fault, and therefore, they are imperfect. But, when an individual looks at the text generally, and understand what most of them are saying in general (about God's nature, how we should lead our lives, ect.), we have then a better understanding of what the truth is.
Continuing, even though the religions are faulty they all can lead to that one truth in time. The reason for this is like a math problem, we can get very close to the answer, but we may not have it exactly. The reason we can never understand it (namely God or the Divine Reality) perfectly, is because it is beyond the understanding of our mind.
There is also another view branching of this final point that I have heard. It is as follows: there is only one truth, and it has been realized by many saints over the course of history, but, because it's nature is beyond the mind/intellect, all of religions ideas about God and Divine Reality, are merely attempts and metaphor about what this Divine Reality is really like.
These ideas I haven't explained perfectly, because they would take far to long and too much effort for a TH-cam comment, but I would love to hear anyone's thoughts and questions regarding these ideas. Thank you very much for reading this, may the Lord's blessings be upon you!

I was waiting for the conclussion as well, but it never came🤔
@@saratheblasphemous3423other religions have no miracles, and they contradict historical and scientific facts, Christianity is the only valid religion that its criticism only comes from pure hatred of Christ and insulting people personally, nobody can challenge Christianity in a respectful and logical way, because Christianity is indestructible. Christianity talks about the flood, and coincidentally all ancient cultures do have a flood, from China to India to Greece all the way to Aztec and Inca civilisations, they all have a flood that destroyed a successful civilisation with big cities, Atlantis is one of the many cities that were destroyed during the flood.
Think! Jesus did something that fascinated people, if Jesus never performed miracles he would've never been taken seriously and Christianity would die before being even born. Don't be smart, never look for evidence, be wise and think logically and stick the pieces together to get a bigger picture. Don't forget, Jesus was a Jew living among Jews, if he boldly claimed divinity the locals would kill him immediately for blasphemy and he wouldn't even make it to the crucifixion, but Jesus fascinated the locals, everywhere he went, he left many Christians.

Nice video but it failed to clearly explain that why Jesus is the only way. Needs to change the title.
Thou shalt not kill. Therefore if your book teaches to kill, which everyone knows it does, you are doomed to perish.
I see that there is something in Jesus that is so unique I had a very lifechanging moving experience on a christian monastery and I never experienced the love of God as much as while I was there, praying to Jesus daily.
However, I went to India and I saw there the wisdom they have in so many aspects.
I still cannot really believe that all other religions contain no true at all, and that just christianity has the full truth
But I have to recognize that as much as I explore other religions and live on hindu religious places , I never had an experience as I had in that christian monastery
Well you can believe other religions still have pieces of truth but that Christianity is fulness of truth.
We all came from Adam and Eve so.... why wouldn't there be connections yet also perversions of truth over time cause of free will ?
Jesus revealed himself and even rig veda also talks about Jesus. Many scholars of the other religions know that Jesus is the truth but they hide it inorder to protect the religion. If humanity comes to know Jesus is only truth to salvation then all religions have to shut down. There will be no confusion. So as long as confusion exists it's the best way to deception. we keep confusing humans we can keep humans away from the truth and that's the goal of the devil but Truth is divine because it's Jesus.

The thing is that God can see everything on the time stream. He can see the beginning to the end. He can see every possibility there is based on your actions. So those that never have heard of Jesus likely wouldn't care even if they knew. This is because God already saw what would happen.
Dr. Craig would say "knows" rather than "sees," since on presentism, the future doesn't yet exist, so there's nothing to actually "see." But, yes, the conclusion is the same: God could know that those who never hear of Jesus wouldn't accept him even if they heard. - RF Admin

sins and I put you in first

You can't have been born in another place. Your birthplace is an intrinsic part of your nature and who you are. I see this fallacy a lot. In fact "If you had been born in such and such a place...' is a logically impossible antecedent. For example, I, as a citizen of the USA, born and raised in California, could not even in imagination have been born anywhere else.
Yes but people tell me that they have there own ways to believing in God but not in Christianity or Christ,s way is it wrong but how
One example would be the denial of Muslims that Jesus was killed by crucifixion. This is one of the most well-attested facts about Jesus and is even affirmed by almost all atheist historians. So, Muslims may believe in God, but they are wrong to deny Jesus' death by crucifixion. The result is that they also do not recognize Jesus' resurrection, which vindicates his divine claims. - RF Admin

John 1
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
This didn't proved that Christianity is the only true religion.

Good work, but what do you mean by a personal God? Muslims believe in a timeless, spaceless, incorporeal God, basically we believe in the same God of the Jews and Christians. The main difference with Jews is that we (Muslims) believe in Jesus as the Messiah, the son of Mary, the Pure Virgin. The differences with Christians is that we believe 1) God is truly One, Jesus is not a God or the son of God, so basically we don't accept the concept of trinity, 2) Jesus is still alive in the heavens, he did not die for anyone's sins, we are responsible for our sins, and no one is responsible for others', except for asking for forgiveness from God directly. We also believe that 1) Jesus is one of the five highest status prophets (Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad), 2) that Jesus will come back earth and rule with Islamic Sharia Law, and 3) that Muhammad is the Paraclete.

@@valcrist7428 We get judged accordingly, because we just don't know Christ. That's it. There's nothing philosophically undermining about Jesus and his sacrifice for us. If Jesus didn't come then we would not know how life is supposed to be because Christ is the center of our lives. Like if we change Christ in the timeline of existence, the whole timeline would be affected. No one knows what those affects would be because it could be small, or existentially ginourmous and radical, like super imaginatively different. It could be unfathomably different. This is just reality my man. We NEED Jesus. Jesus will play that standard and as I said already, one may not already accept the gospel message because of the posture of their heart.
THE ONLY WAY
How can there be only one entrance to the house of a man(King)? As I asked the question, I discovered mansions of yore were built so tall with high walls round about especially for fear of intruder. Looking at a military base, I discovered they had suffered many, many attacks from the terrorists and decided to make just one entrance to the base in which visitors were thoroughly scanned and screened before entrance. You are wise! Why didn't you do alot of entrances to your house? I asked an ATHIEST, he only looked at me and FROWNED. Looking at the word(ATHIEST), I asked why would a man born of a woman allow himself to be called an ATHIEST and he does not question the power making him bear that name seeing those called Athiest/ Agnostic are always in the mood to be born again into the world without eyes, legs, hands just to make HEAVEN after death but would never never be granted them. I met an atheist and asked him if he belief in God, he was angry. Athiest, can I ask you a question, he said I should go ahead. Do you dream? He quickly said "Yes". Okay if you say there is no God how comes you dream? He quickly gave me his definition. Looking at him, I discovered he has truly been cheated by the devil. How can you sleep and dream and you wake up only to think that it's the figment of your imagination which you observe while unconscious! Looking at him, I discovered it was the devil that wisphered such a false definition in his heart. Okay, I want to prove you(Athiest) wrong! Now there are Spirits (neither of light nor of darkness) that are only in existence immediately a man( Buddha, Hindi, Christians, etc) closes his(her) eyes to SLEEP. Over the years, these spirits were being manipulated by the devil especially when a person sits before the television and watches filth(porn), he(devil) will manipulate these Spirits and they will become evil and the person sees himself(herself) making LOVE(false) in the dream and even ejaculating. Now if the person finally gives his(her) life to God, what God will do is to INACTIVATE these Spirits and make another CLONE of Spirits(neither holy nor evil) and allow the person DREAM(mystery of mystery) a good dream. Now, there is another aspect of these Spirits that are very, very DIABOLICAL. A man(cultist) may use these Spirits(neither holy nor evil) to hurt his victim- one who provoked him(cultist) by day. How they(cultist) do this is that whenever their victim is sleeping, they(cultists) will clone a Spirit of that Spirits(neither of light nor of darkness) and use it against their victims at night. When this happens, the victim will see a FACE that he knows but in actual sense it is one(cultist) whom he offended during day. And as such, it will be difficult to know the real person doing that. Now, sometime, the victims are chased in the DREAM. And sometimes, they are physically (spiritually) assaulted in that DREAM and when the victim wakes up, he feels strange PAINS all over his(her) body. Now, talking about Christ being the ONLY WAY, it is a MYSTERY that a man born into another RELIGION may be TORMENTED in pit (hell) much LOWER than a MAN(Christian) who was born into a Christian home and dies a SINNER or worse still was born into a Christian home and gave his life to Christ and later backslide, only to die in Sin. Now before God, there is no difference between a man(Buddha, Hindi etc) in the pit(hell) seeing that all are LOST but before the devil there is difference! What is the difference? Yes, a man(Buddha) in the pit( hell) that is tormented by demons and is not chained cannot be compared to a man who was once a Christian and after hearing the gospel(death and resurrection of Jesus) , he wilfully dies in Sin. He will be chained by the devil and tormented. He is a prisoner of prisoners! Christ is the ONLY WAY. Man(Adam and Eve) were placed at the garden of Eden and were given the ever FIRST COMMANDMENT- thou shalt not eat the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which is at the middle of the garden. But the devil regenerated into a serpent and deceived man at the garden of Eden and man(Adam and Eve) were sold to the devil through DISOBEDIENCE and in process of TIME, it was the will of the father(Jehovah) that man be RESTORED back to him and he used a man(Abraham) to TEST him through his Son(Isaac) and Abraham was given grace of grace to RELEASE his son(Isaac) so that in process of TIME(mystery), a man(Jehovah) would also release his only Son(Christ). Hence, when the time came for him(Jehovah) to release his Son(Christ), he has to do that seeing a man(Abraham) had done his physically. Now Christ has to keep his godliness in the CLOUD of his glorious majesty and REGENERATE into a woman that knoweth not a man. Now a prophet cannot do that! Turning, I saw a man calling him Prophet! Shut up! He is not a Prophet! He is not a Prophet! He is God and God in the FLESH. Looking at him(man), I discovered he called him(Christ) a name that is written in their book. Don't call him that name! That is not his name! That is not his name! His name is Jesus Christ! Now, Christ went to the Cross and purchase SALVATION for man through his BLOOD (MONEY) and finally man(humanity) was BOUGHT back by the great king. Although, the devil noticed the weaknesses of man at the garden of Eden. What are the weaknesses? What are the weaknesses? Yes, man hates the TRUTH(Christ) and the inability to accept the TRUTH (Christ) into the hearts of men(Athiest, Agnostic, etc). Now, man is finally bought back and any that will still live in sin( false religion, false worship_idolatry, smoking, masturbation, adultery, fornication, cheat, pornography, etc) and dies without REPENTANCE shall be sold back to the devil through DISOBEDIENCE. IT IS FINISHED! IT IS FINISHED!

This is what happens when you take the words of Jesus, an middle eastern Jew, out of his cultural context. In those days, if a teacher asked you to follow him, it was considered a great honor. Then, they would follow him to see if his actions matched his words.
If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the father or I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me. Jesus understood his union with God and the destruction of his ego. His audience would have understood what he said and meant in a oriental Jewish spiritual context. I and the father are one implies a mystical union.
The west turned his sayings into very literal doctrine and dogma which he detested. I think he’d be appalled at what western Christianity has done to his beautiful mystical sayings and his teachings of the way of life. Let alone turning him into the focus of a religion. It was institutional religion he was trying to reform. He never would have wanted to be turned into an religious equal with the father as Christianity did in creating the trinity in the 3rd cent. Why are you calling me good, there is none good except my father in heaven.
Go take a course in Hebrew, Greek and Jewish and early Christian history and prepare to have your doctrinal sacred cows exploded. Mine sure were and enabled me to come into a closer relationship with the creator than I’ve ever had.
What we can say though is that final truth is not exclusive to one existing religion at present (exclusivism is false). No present religion is inclusive of all truths present in all others (inclusivism is false). It is not the case that all existing religions are true, or have equal amounts of truth (pluralism is false). However, all may offer complementary insights into a reality which cannot be wholly expressed by any one in isolation, or even perhaps all of them together. All religious traditions need to pass through the critical crisis which revises their exclusively normative claims to truth.
Good framing, although the issue of "the final truth" is an assertion that needs clarification. The conventional view is that Jesus is a gatekeeper. The comparison between Islam an Buddhism in the video reflects a certain Christian doctrinal belief about the meaning of salvation. "OMG! Will I get into Heaven after I die, for eternity?!"
What are the terms that are relevant? I generally apply a kind of transpersonal therapeutic psychological standard, which is not an ungrounded view. It is a modern secular philosophical subdiscipline with empiricism, in the University-based system, that reflects the origins of modern philosophical scholarship as a Christian spiritual practice.
In fact, the comparative thinking about religious studies is also a philosophical subdiscipline. We are thus in fact operating not in some "secular materialist" reality obligatorily. Some do hold that. However, it is not tenable in light of historical psychosocial and transpersonal multidisciplinary context. If we are already operating in Christian-derived secularism, then by reorienting ourselves to Christian spirituality, we are reclaiming philosophical scholarship as a spiritual practice. To do so, I just give the whole kit-and-kaboodle the name it deserves: Multidisciplinary Philosophy. Thus, the fact that other cultures have had secular western culture implanted, and have taken it up for its appealing qualities, means that at various levels and to various degrees, Christian-derived culture has already been embraced by basically the whole world. UN human rights-sustainability culture and structured pluralism go with that. Instead of merely "Christianity", I see that we can emphasize Jesus´ integrity, a loving integrity, by identifying it as Jesus´ legacy of loving integrity in University-based, UN human rights society with structured pluralism. Jesus in fact did not limit his teachings in the way portrayed by evangelical, or even other standard doctrines, but emphasized a more psycho-spiritually oriented bunch of teachings about personal effort in spiritual practice for personal growth. Therefore, Jesus can be empirically identified by his direct legacy. The hypocrisy, even of evangelical doctrines, can be analyzed in terms similar to what you mention:
Unitarian Universalism is a religious development with the structure of an interfaith practice, out of its Christian heritage. However, they haven´t made the continuity and modernization process explicit as I have, so that I call myself an independent interfaith UU Christian. The normative context you mention for complementarity has been established by UN human rights, an initiative by the Social Gospel influenced FD Roosevelt´s vision and legacy, negotiated with the international community. It thus is a secular first step with intentional political form.
You use the term exclusivism and inclusivism in terms of unspecfied elements of "final truth." Jesus´ formal teaching, of the Good Samaritan, in fact, is given in a form that equates neighbors with "enemies." Love thy enemy. While "prayer for others" is a standard form, Jesus does instruct people to "go and learn...." and himself uses apparent pagan phrases "Doctor, heal thyself" and "Live by the sword, die by the sword."
Given Christianity´s own formal failure to identify University-based culture as its own, and to modernize systematically in accordance, it is being pressured now by various conflicting pressures. Scientific materialism, secular materialism, and economic materialism seem like three primary forces.

@@valcrist7428 Let's employ some logic that you say you use and question together. God sent [commissioned] His Son Jesus Christ "To be the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" (I John 4:14).

Do you think he lied? God saved him in one flash of light! Yet Paul didn't WANT to be saved. Paul wanted to go to Damascus and persecute and laughter Christians, but God converted Saul/Paul in a few seconds.
Have you never read the scriptures that "No one CAN come to Christ, except the Father draw [Gk: elkō to drag] them?" (John 6:44). And that is precisely what God will do to ALL MANKIND. Every human on earth will repent and acknowledge Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Saviour (Phil. 2:9-11). God is calling many but choosing few in this age. When God sets His hand to CHOOSE THEM ALL, He will do just that. And then ALL MANKIND will be saved (I Tim. 2:4, 4:10, etc.) And God will be "ALL in All" (I Cor. 15:28).

@@YorgosSimeonidis It's not just having supernatural abilities. Jesus's resurrection comes after a life and ministry in which he expresses a radical divine self-understanding.

@@drcraigvideos The video tries to show how Jesus is the one true God. The arguments leading to this conclusion can not contain the fact that Jesus is divine. It is circular thinking.

Are we allowed to judge God? Is it up to us to decide whether God is good or evil?
@@YorgosSimeonidis The standard definition of God used in philosophy of religion is that of a maximally great being. Such a being is clearly worthy of worship. Evil is clearly not worthy of worship.
The argument is not that Jesus is divine therefore Jesus is the one true God. Rather, the argument is that Jesus made certain claims that entail his divinity and that these are vindicated by the miracle of the resurrection. We could formulate this argument the following way:
1. Jesus made claims that entail his divinity.
2. If Jesus miraculously rose from the dead, then his claims were vindicated.

I think it’s pretty cool that there’s actually one Christian religion that spends an enormous amount of time and money trying to save all those who have never heard of Jesus Christ during their life.

6. If Jesus was conceived as a result of a physical union between God and Mary, how was Jesus born of a virgin? (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, page 50).
7. How did Nephi with a few men on a new continent build a temple like Solomon's while Solomon needed 163,300 workmen and seven years to build his temple? (1 Kings 5:13-18 and 2 Nephi 5:15-17).
8. Why was Joseph Smith still preaching against polygamy in October 1843 after he got his revelation in July 1843 commanding the practice of polygamy? (Doc. & Cov. 132; and History of the Church Vol. 6, page 46, or Teachings of the Prophet, page 324).
@@egoeimi5584 Actually there are answers to all those questions. there are also thousands of questions about the scriptures and about the prophets.

Once you’ve had a personal witness that the book of Mormon is in fact the word of God it helps you proceed with faith to find answers to sincere questions. But anger and contention never converted anyone. The history of Christianity surely makes that point very clear.

@@timwrightfamily740 How do you explain the fact that 2 Nephi 16:2 is copied from an older version of the KJV of the Bible in Isa 6:2?

“I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:6-8.
"Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind" Col 2:18.
Even if the so called angel, "Nephi” or "Moroni", really did appear to Joseph Smith, he is still accursed because the gospel of the Book of Mormon is very different from the gospel of the Bible. Since the Book of Mormon does not conform to the standard of the Bible, it is not Christian, but condemned being a new and false gospel.
Orson Pratt, who was one of the Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church speaking of the BoM said, “This book must be either true or false. If false, it is one of the most cunning, wicked, bold, deep-laid impositions ever palmed upon the world, calculated to deceive and ruin millions who will sincerely receive it as the word of God, and will suppose themselves securely built upon the rock of truth until they are plunged with their families into hopeless despair.”
The BoM does not stand up to scrutiny and therefore, Orson Pratt’s statement above is undoubtedly correct. “It is one of the most cunning, wicked, bold, deep-laid impositions ever palmed upon the world.”
May God grant you a spirit of wisdom and proper discernment, and open your eyes to see His spiritual truths.
This could be a very long conversation :). Life is a little too short to turn all inevitable conflict into contention. Lets just agree that it is possible that the Book of Mormon is true scripture from a true prophet and that you aren't buying that and that I am. Its up to each of us to humbly seek truth without arguing, I wish you well in your journey.
@@timwrightfamily740 No I cannot agree that the BoM is true scripture from a true prophet when it has been refuted by both Mormon scholars and Christian apologists. Indeed the evidence against the BoM is staggering. Joseph Smith proclaimed "the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on the earth.” Another regrettable statement made by Smith was, "I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." Spades of the leaven of the Pharisees, don’t you think? I have met several Mormons over the years and I have never met any who knew what the Gospel of Christ really was.
Anyhow, you must eventually stand alone before Jesus Christ as your judge to give account. You will not be able to hide behind the skirts of the Mormon church or as merely a face in a vast throng of peoples. I have found that those Mormons who take the time to open their Bibles and read and listen with a mind that isn’t so totally prejudiced by being locked in certain mental premises that the truth can only come from Salt Lake City, Utah headquarters - are dumbfounded when they find what the Bible really says.
May God be with you as you yield to His will in your life and SEEK TRUTH--it will set you free.
So if our presence on earth is to learn to be with God in eternity, than it’s illogical to worship or even know the existence of God if we know we have a safety net upon death. If it’s illogical, does that means it too is false?
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ETERNAL LIFE! THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. ROMANS 6:23, 1 JOHN 5:20, 1 JOHN 5:11, JOHN 14:6
to preface my comment, i want to say Jesus’s way is the way. but this video took many of the religious truths the wrong way / out of context. if you follow the reasons for believing those things, you will realize they are in fact all saying the same thing, and you will be able to acknowledge the duality of nature, allowing two opposing truths exist simultaneously. the books we written and rewritten multiple times. you have to acknowledge this as an option because although humans have gotten smarter, those that wrote the books have always been human, and you werent alive to prove whether these humans did or didn’t rewrite the books. also, i believe that pluralists don’t “hate” other religions, and if there is arrogance, it’s because of ignorance that you also have for what the other religions say. it’s like comparing of apple to oranges. it sounds like you’re projecting by how you present the information of Jesus being superior. i dont disagree with Jesus being the One, but this video was simply not a good representation of what other religions are, and in my opinion won’t convince people to follow Christ
//if you follow the reasons for believing those things, you will realize they are in fact all saying the same thing//
Anyone who has studied comparative religion knows this isn't the case. For example, the Qur'an claims that Jesus was neither crucified nor killed. The Bible says just the opposite. They are not saying the same thing, nor can they both be simultaneously true on this point.
//the books we written and rewritten multiple times.//
Whether the original texts of the NT went through an editing process before canonization is immaterial. When we apply the standards of historicity to them, we find that they contain early, independent information on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. So, even if it were true that they were "written and rewritten multiple times" (which, by the way, is not true), this still would not undermine the truth of the texts. This is precisely why the argument for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus is so powerful.
//this video was simply not a good representation of what other religions are, and in my opinion won’t convince people to follow Christ//
Your comment here mischaracterizes the video. First, the point wasn't to represent what other religions are. Rather, it was to show that there's no good argument against Christian particularism and no good argument for religious pluralism. Second, the point of the video wasn't to convince people to follow Christ, but to respond to a common question people have about the exclusivity of Christianity. The video shows that Christian particularism is neither arrogant nor illogical. This can help those who erroneously believe that there's something irrational or evil about Christian particularism. - RF Admin
I'll preface by saying I am a Christian... The video does a decent job of managing objections to pluralism... at least the most common ones. But this video fails to support why Jesus is the only way. The fact that pluralism is wrong does not make Christianity right... any material on addressing the question of the video? I know plenty of bible verses that state that fact, but the bible is a Christian holy book... so dont see how to argue with bible verses against say quran verses... any philosophical or theological arguments?
Jesus is the way because the book about him says so. There were scammers in biblical times too.😊
If there is treatment to those who never hear of Christ why should we evangelize , it would be better for those people to have never hear’ed and be treated by God in a special manner than for fallible man to present christ and then have the unbelieving party reject christ damming them to hell , yes ?
I think it was because there were false christs the bible says. But there is only One God whom can pardon. Satan is the accuser that just wants to condemn as the death and destruction double minded bootes. Many are called few are chosen. Pontiac is just a tyrant
There's a problem there. If there is hope for people who Don't know Jesus. So what's the point of Jesus going to Earth.. if everyone can be saved anyway without knowing him?
I don't know I'm just using logic. God gave me logic. So I am questioning this.
And I can't believe. NO ONE CAN ANSWER THIS LOGICALLY.. NO ONE!!!!
ZERO!!!
It's an erroneous inference to say that because people may be saved without a conscious knowledge of Christ that therefore Christ's incarnation and death were unnecessary. As Dr. Craig has explained numerous times, those people are saved because of the faith they have in the revelation they've been given, and the benefits of Christ's atonement are applied to them because of that faith. So, without Christ's atonement, they would not be saved.
As Dr. Craig also notes, Romans 1 should make us very pessimistic than many people will in fact be saved without a conscious knowledge of Christ. - RF Admin
@@drcraigvideos Also I think it's ILLOGICAL just because people are saying "I Accept Christ as my Saviour" guarantees salvation.
What if that person is an a-hole and just plain selfish to the majority of humans and causing other humans to suffer.
I just can't stand these freaks. So unreasonable.
I mean if a person really accepts Christ, that person should be listening to the softer side of their conscience and not just because that person wanted to go to heaven just because.
I think the purpose of Jesus going here is to teach us how to be a proper human being to be a proper loving-kind individual the best we can(because we are not perfect but we could always try and recognize our wrong doings and strive to correct it ) and not just thinking about material and status progress.
@@valcrist7428 Agreed. Jesus addresses this in Matthew 7:21-23, saying "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Now, we have to be careful at this point. Jesus did come to show us how to love and live our lives in a godly way. But he also came to die on the cross so that we could be forgiven of our sins. - RF Admin
@drcraigvideos Thanks for the verse. I appreciate that.
About Jesus' crucifixion. That was the doing of the people who hated him and accusing him of Heresy (Jews). Also, Jesus never said that he will sacrifice. It only came after the fact (which was probably sa another one of those vague interpretations of guess what.. by a human).
Also, if he was willing to sacrifice, Jesus could have just gone directly to Caesar and the Jews as soon as they knew that he was wanted. No need to hide and for Judas to tell Jesus' location. Also, with this logic, ALL JEWS ARE DESTINED TO HELL and all non "Christ" religions. No matter how kind hearted they are.. Which doesn't make sense.
I mean, if Jesus would have gone to Earth to prove that he is God, he could have done it more effectively.. but alas, there are other religions. You and I both know and can't deny this logic.
I mean, am I the only one on this earth who is making sense?
If REAL kindess is not a factor. Jesus could have just appeared and declared he is God and did not teach anything else.
I think he went here to teach us kindness and that is the only thing that can keep us together and make the cycle of life bearable. Now I'm thinking reincarnation because if kindness and Love prevailed in this world. We will all be saved eventually. You know, just what Jesus is always teaching.
You people need to learn more about islam. I like this channel for the video about existence of God. Thanks to my christian frands for that.

its very simple to know that jesus is god and the only way to him the bible says this thru out the old and new testament, god says he created our universe and before that he was there in existence before he created time , and he was there all alone no one came before him and no othere there besides himself
We can learn from this video that Jesus is the only way of truth. But where is particular biblical evidence that those who don’t hear about Jesus will be saved in the day of the judgment?
Jesus is the only way..because Bible which is God's Word says so.
Jesus is the only true living God. He said He and The father are one, He also said He teaches out of Holy Spirit, when jewish leaders called Him a demon possessed He contradicted them and said He is speaking with Holy Spirit. So, He is God in human form. God created man from dust of the Earth and blewed into his nostrils the breath of life man became living soul(Genesis 2) Jesus Christ made a paste with dust and saliva and cured a blind man(Matthew), He did this to prove that He was our Creator. So, our creator took the punishment for our sin. Because of sin only humans are totally different than all other God's creation from ants to Elephants,no clothes, no cooking,no inventions...eat what God ordered eg. Scavengers and live in God set borders no crossing so no comparisons no wars, bit survival of the fittest means same kind fight to save their genes. What a greate love!❤❤❤He tried to explain this, by comparing His love with that of all mother's love(compare woth other creatures also). So, man who could not see God after sin so should not make his own gods. So when real God that created man and everything from heaven to earth came as man then all man made gods are proven wrong or null and void. So, He is the only way. Isaiah said for unto us a child is given .......Everlasting Father......
The arguments used are well spoken and with good background music, but still silly.
Would you care to refute them? They seem sound (until the Bible verses).
@@caleb2507 you can make a video from every religieus point of view and disprove the others this way. Just silly.
It does make sense I know Jesus helped me in my life but anything is possible
The reason Jesus is the only way to heaven is because His resurrected life is Heaven and eternal life and there is nothing else valid about heaven outside of that truth and fact
Prove that Jesus came back from the dead.
Isa is a prophet of god not his son ✔️
But the Koran was written 500 years later based on the words of an illiterate Arabian who thought Christianity taught that Mary was a member of the Trinity who had relations with God so we neednt take it seriously
@@stephenglasse9756 wtf lol 😂 no thats wrong
@@ultimateRei is it? Muhammad was born around 570, universal Islamic opinion is that he was illiterate, and koran 5:71-76 clarify that Muhammad thought God, jesus and mary made up the Trinity
@@ultimateRei It's written 600 years later so he's wring on that. In Surah 5:116 - 117 Mary is a part of the trinity according to the Quran. And yes this is the trinity being spoken about later referenced in 5:73
I would really like to believe that Jesus is the only way. Unfortunately through my years of studying spiritual teachings, religious pluralism is the only thing that stands up to reason. Note that Gandhi didn't say all religions are the same. He said they _basically _ teach the same thing. Love God and your neighbour. The mystics of all religions testify to the same truth. Marcus Borg said that John 14:6 "I am the way..." means Jesus was speaking to his particular audience at particular time, not as an absolute statement. Again, I would love for it to not be true. But the argument makes most sense to me.
To know Christ, one must come to accept him. Maybe the next video explains how that is done. Once a person come to shears by faith, he will reveal himself to him/her that he is real. Christ will not reveal himself to prove that he is God. He has done it by dying on the cross and defeating death. God is God. God choose to communicate to us through the Bible. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that his Word is truth. When you read the Bible, He will reveal himself to you through the Bible. But faith comes first. It is hard to come to faith when you are doubting, but God is not like human.He does it his way and only his way. If you are trying to figure HIM out, you doll never able to on your standard. It has to be God’s way. The way to find HIM is believing in Jesus!
I think it is important to note that the John 14:6 you quoted was cut short. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." It is clear what Jesus meant when He also said "... No one comes to the Father EXCEPT through me". A text quoted out of context is a pretext. There are many verses in the Bible referring to Jesus as the only way to God. In fact, if one follows the whole Biblical account from the Old Testament to the New, the WHOLE context of why Jesus is the only way is right there.
If I tell you that jumping down a 100 storey building without any aid will end in death due to the laws of gravity, I am speaking to a particular audience (you) at a particular time (now); but the absolute truth is that it will end in death. It applies to any audience and at any time.
Those disciples of Jesus who walked with Jesus were eye witnesses of what they saw. They recorded the supernatural events that took place in ancient documents preserved to this day. Based on what they wrote, they were either crazy people following a crazy man, or it was absolutely true. And if all the thousands of documents were true, it really happened, and that was God's chosen time revealing Himself to man.
@@JohnLee-gt3sr Yes, but you could argue that he was speaking to Jewish audience within certain context. People from other cultures at the time that didn't have the concept of one God and the sacrifice system etc wouldn't have understood it. So it was meant for certain people/time.
@@pwalk4160 The context is the Bible itself. An adequate understanding of its history, timelines, prophesies, etc will point to Jesus as THE Messiah and only way. Yes. The Jews were indeed the audience at that particular time but the message was mankind's redemption through Christ alone. This is further revealed, elaborated and explained in the Epistles and other Biblical books. This message was meant to spread from the Jews to the non-Jews. Through your many years of studying spiritual books, I sincerely hope you can review and read the Bible again, especially the New Testament, with an open mind. You may have done that before, but I hope you will do it again and glean something new and a greater understanding. 🙂Over 40 years of studying the Bible have convinced me beyond doubt that Jesus IS the only way to God. I am a simple secular man and never in the clergy before. The reasons why I'm convinced will take beyond this platform to explain. I wish you well. Thank you for your patience reading my rather lengthy reply, which I know is not an adequate one. Please read this "story" again, because it is His..tory.
Ruth, you don't have enough faith or belief to make yourself right with God. If you did, then you would be more powerful than God. You would essentially be saving yourself. Christianity has its admirable qualities, but this is one of its great lies.
Jesus is God's son. Jesus was born by the virgin Mary who conceived by God. Jesus never sinned. Jesus was crucified and die for the sins of the world. Jesus 's Blood was shed for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus was entombed for three days. Jesus was raised from the dead by God. Jesus left the tomb. Jesus was seen, heard and touched by witnesses who said Jesus is alive. Jesus ascended to heaven. Jesus will return to the earth. Jesus is Lord. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God has raised Jesus from the dead you shall be saved. Any one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that any one who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. God is Love. Eternal life is knowing God forever. Jesus said, "No greater love has one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." Read the New Testament in the Bible for find out more about Jesus. If we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Because everything else is blasphemy! It’s obvious! Christ is our lord! Not Buddha, Allah, not the Jewish religion. It’s Christianity! Get or don’t. I’d you don’t, I’m sorry for your soul.

I would very much like to see people discuss with the spiritual giant that was Sri Ramakrishna Parahamsa. He really made the view of religious pluralism so much stronger, not only by his ideas, but his experiences as well! Hari Om Ramakrishna!
Also, Himanshu. What do you think of the idea I wrote above?
There is another view from the perspective of religious pluralism that I would like to hear addressed. The idea is as follows: all religions are indeed leading the truth, but, all religions contain some fault, and therefore, they are imperfect. But, when an individual looks at the text generally, and understand what most of them are saying in general (about God's nature, how we should lead our lives, ect.), we have then a better understanding of what the truth is.
Continuing, even though the religions are faulty they all can lead to that one truth in time. The reason for this is like a math problem, we can get very close to the answer, but we may not have it exactly. The reason we can never understand it (namely God or the Divine Reality) perfectly, is because it is beyond the understanding of our mind.
There is also another view branching of this final point that I have heard. It is as follows: there is only one truth, and it has been realized by many saints over the course of history, but, because it's nature is beyond the mind/intellect, all of religions ideas about God and Divine Reality, are merely attempts and metaphor about what this Divine Reality is really like.
These ideas I haven't explained perfectly, because they would take far to long and too much effort for a TH-cam comment, but I would love to hear anyone's thoughts and questions regarding these ideas. Thank you very much for reading this, may the Lord's blessings be upon you!
