- In this conversation, Preston talks with a young man who identifies as agnostic. Throughout the conversation, they discuss and grapple with the true meaning of faith, and the true meaning of agnosticism, as Preston encourages him to give more authority to the God in which he believes his morality comes from.

Its crazy. I was exactly where this guy was just two years ago. Im so happy i chose to open my heart to Christ.
HalleluYah
Church isn’t a building. We are the church.
You have to understand that the church is a neutral ground. All of you guys that say "'we are the church" are telling the truth, however a lot of u guys saying this would not let drug dealers, drug addicts, prostitutes, homosexuals, etc in your house. The Church is a place where anyone can go to get saved, or hear the good news!
Christ lover facts bro!
@@chelseacousin2063 yes we would maybe not your church or previous churches u been to because the Bible say “come as you are”…we have had all types of members in our church
Very respectful the way in which Preston Perry spoke with this young man. A clear representation of Jesus. Jesus spoke with those who did not believe, those who were hurting, and those who questioned him also; yet he never condemned, never talked down to them. Jesus gave hope, and Preston has done the same here. Never once raised his voice, changed his tone or belittled this young man or his beliefs. Thank you for a prime example of how to do apologetics effectively. This should be required material in apologetics courses. Great questions, and incredible listening skills. I believe God is well pleased with you, Preston Perry.
I love how calm and understanding you both are. If only all conversations could be like this!
I realise that Perry has a calming effect on people even when the conversation has the potential to become heated.
"The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding"
If I'm scared of God and I shit my underwear, does wisdom start there?
Haggis McBaggis the word “fear” in this scripture means “reverence” not fear as in phobia.
He acknowledges God, but really wants to pick and choose his own rules and deny God's authority in his life.
Its a fancy way of saying: "God is there, but I want to do what I want to do anyway"
You describing the average Christian.
Lol very truth
Sad!.. In Jesus name ! Open there heart lord.
#Shalom
Doesn't matter what you do anyway as long as you believe in Christ.
@@JeramyRG I'd make sure you are believing in the correct Christ
I used to be like this young man. Confused and conflicted, morally and spiritually. I’m glad I turned back to Jesus. I love how Preston talked to him so gently and with love. God bless y’all
Praise God! Thank you Jesus
“If there was a Big Bang, there had to be a big banger” JP Moreland
@Atheist United You know the Big Bang he's referring to!
Excellent work brother... one thing I would like to see you add to this type of conversation is sin. One can not understand their need for Jesus or the gospel without an understanding of our fallen state. He claimed to have righteous morality and you explained the origin of it but didn't, atleast on camera, explain that our inability to keep Gods commandments has us at enmity with a perfect God. I know when witnessing you have to use discernment but it's vital for him to see his need for the cross. I truly enjoy your videos and will be praying for your ministry. God Bless!
I'm sure he shows this to teach us how to minister as well as us giving him feedback. I appreciate how you have feedback in love and humility
You're right. You eventually have to get to the heart of the matter.
@Trevor Manderino We actually CANNOT keep the commandments. The commandments were given to show us that we are inherently evil and we need, Jesus.
Ant Nax thats exactly right. Have you seen Ray Comforts evangelism videos??
@@jessikaquiroga3055 I have seen that zany New Zealander , I love and admire how committed he is to sharing the gospel. He has found a practical and honest way to show people the problem we face with sin. We all at some point have fallen short of Gods standard of righteousness, God being a righteous judge must find us guilty for our sin but that's where Jesus comes in. His love and grace in much stronger than our sin and he found it fit to give us a way out.
Love this conversation! And love the kindness and patience with which you carried out this conversation.
Thank you, Tucker!
I am up watching these videos at 4am. You are teaching me. Thank you for the work you are doing for the kingdom.
You speak with so much grace. Love these videos.
I grew up Catholic and never found god, once I heard the gospel form a true Christian it opened me up. I believe people with no faith look at Catholicism and Christianity are the same, I did. One is a relationship and one is a religion, no where in the Bible does it say join a religion. He sounded like Christian Right of the bat but was distorted by Catholicism.
Everyone has a religion. If you have a set of beliefs, you have a religion. And there is absolutely no contradiction from Catholicism and Christianity
Catholicism is Christianity. Most Catholics that always use this same excuse to turn away from the church and becoming a “true” Christian never practiced the religion as it’s intended
great content I like how preston interacts with this man.I've learnt something.GOD bless you
The more i listen to you preston, you are helping me to want to be more bold for Christ but also breaking down who Jesus truly is and what he stands for and he is the only way. What i see that is hard for us being christians and sharing oir faith is we dont know how to fully explain who Jesus is and why he came and died as well as him being the only way and biggest debate that Jesus is fully God. Keep pumping out the content i want to learn more.
Been waiting for new videos lol keep it up Preston Perry 👍🏿👌🏿
One thing I’m noticing is the lack of natural talk. I believe we could make a better impact on the world if we try not to speak down but instead have a natural conversation.
Much more effective.
Amen!
This has been the most encouraging video yet... it demonstrated for me how to keep a conversation on track and focused even though the questions from the other party are all over the place.. thankful for this ministry!
I love the tone of this convo! Awesome! Love it!!
You can tell that this brother is true to the core, sincere and really understands the Bible well enough to teach it great job keep up the good work
As an agnostic-atheist, I'd love to talk to this guy. He seems pretty chill. But I'd like to dig deeper into some of his claims...
21:30 is a perfect example.
I have been given a very similar apologetic. I was a staunch scientific atheist Jew who thought Jesus was completely fictional. Had I wanted a god, which I adamantly did NOT, the last god I would’ve chosen would have been Jesus. I chose Jesus because He is true. He gave me hard evidence when I wasn’t even looking for any. I chose Him because He chose me and gave me proof. Now I follow Him not only because He’s Truth, but because I love Him. But He loves me first. So, if you want to talk, let’s do it. He started downloading things that I’d never known or studied, so I can make no personal claim to this knowledge. It’s all from God and I can explain why Jesus IS truly The Truth, The Way and The Life and that there is no other way to the Father but through Him. I used to be a dying Jewish atheist and now I live for The King of The Jews. Let’s talk!
Nikki Hey Nikki! I would love to hear your experience!
This video was so encouraging! You can really feel your heart on this one not to win an argument but to win his heart.. truly reflecting the heart of Christ.
A few things though... you say “I think” a lot and in my opinion it kind of weakens your witness... standing firm on what you know is more convicting.
Also, I believe mentioning sin was needed in this scenario. He needed to understand living a moral life was not enough because he has already sinned in his life. He needed to hear that he needs a savior to cover his sins and that’s why Jesus came. He mentioned he had a catholic background and that’s not really discussed in the catholic religion. So I think him hearing that would’ve been good.
Anyways, I love what you are doing bro. Keep it up!
Catholics are the original Christians.
Alexander Leparulo where in the Bible does it say that?
People will pay money to read a book then pay more money to watch the Hollywood adaptation of the movie. In few instances they're identical but in most there are major differences (even to the point of changing the storyline!). Both written and produced by man.... People will still gobble it up! But give someone God's holy and true word, inspired by our living Savior! Hand them a KJV Bible and then tell them there's also an ESV, NIV, or NLT and they write off the faith altogether! Different translations of the Bible are one thing. Taking away and/or adding to the Bible to change the meaning is something completely different. But God is good and He is using Preston! Great content as ALWAYS!
I think alot of our personal moral standards are results of how we were raised and the environments we experience life in. Like certain tribes believe cannibalism is ok. And i think sometimes its hard to see past that and realize just how important having a righteous God to set that for us is.
Hey Preston, how do you approach someone and talk to them about God? That's something i struggle with. I want to talk to people about God but i'm not sure how to go about it. Can you give any tips?
I usually walk up to someone who seems less busy or idle, and start by saying something like, do you mind if I talk to you? or I'll ask how they are doing, and go on from there.
I would pray, fast and ask God to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how to approach people about this topic.
Preston be killing me with the “wait lemme just finish this thought “ 😂😂😂Preston i would really love a video of you having a discussion with the Hebrew Israelites . I love the content , Glory to King Jesus 🙏🏾
GOD BLESS YOU AND JACKIE FROM ME AND NOAH! My husband is a christian rapper/artist and is an evangelist too. Prayers for creativity.
God bless you Preston, thank you for this great content, you are such a blessing for those of us who love our agnostic/atheist friends but have almost lost hope in sharing the gospel with them
Christianity is not a religion it’s a relationship with God ❤️✝️
For someone who is agnostic he sure does know a lot! It’s a great thing to see the things god has revealed to him bc the Bible says that god reveals things to us, but because he doesn’t know god he’s not sure where it comes from which he stated “it comes from within me” even tho it comes from God. Christianity makes sense in a global scale because no matter what you’ve been raised to believe or seen or your opinion, everything in the Bible makes perfect sense about evil, goodness and redemption! I pray this young brilliant man just taps into the Bible. He has potential to save his family and his loved ones! ❤️🙏🏼
Amazing! Thank you for these videos
As I watch Preston Perry on TH-cam ask these strangers questions about their beliefs, it isn’t to make them uncomfortable, although it sometimes does. This reminds me of Jesus in the bible. Jesus knew how the Pharisees would feel about the questions being asked but it wasn’t his intent to make them uncomfortable, but to really wrestle with the question and do a self evaluation so to speak of what they really believed. A lot of people could say they believe in a lot of things but never really get to the root of what they believe. Root being unanswered questions or questions where you are unsure about the answer. And that’s the difference between God or Christianity and any other religion and belief. Is that while an Agnostic for example or Atheist may struggle with these questions, for me, a believer in Christ, it can be answered. The focus isn’t to prove God right or even yourself. God doesn’t need to be proven right. But it’s to plant seeds and to spread truth. Truth being the one and only God.
you are literally out here saving soul! you definitely opened my eyes!
Hello Preston I greatly appreciate the video on witnessing the Lord is using you and praise God for your messages of hope for the sinner. My question to you in witnessing to various religions you haven't witness to the Seventh-day Adventist why because I'm a SDA It would be interesting to hear your views and the SDA view. Thanks
Brandon Wydeman well I think he has not witness to SDA because they actually the same as a Christian but the only thing is you all believe and tell people that you are wrong for not keeping the sabbath day holy and Christian who worship on sundays have found that we are no longer saved under the law but under grace through Jesus Christ therefore worshiping and keeping the sabbath day holy is no longer needed because we are supposed to walk in holiness everyday through the Holy Spirit and worship is a never ending thing and can be done everyday... what commandment did Jesus leave out when He quoted the commandments? Is was the commandment thou shall keep the sabbath day holy... so think about that brother...
@@vandykeebbin4762 I have a problem with this.. If we think that because Jesus didn't mention it, therefore it's no longer valid, how would you explain His conversation with the rich young ruler?
Matthew 19:17-19 (UKJV) And He said unto him, Why call you Me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.
He says unto Him, Which? Jesus said, You shall do no murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
Honour your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
Does this mean that not only we are free to worship on any day we want, but blaspheme, pray to idols, covet our neighbor's wife / possessions?
@@vandykeebbin4762 Thank you for replying brother but I have to respectfully disagree on what you said. I agree that we are not under the law but saved under grace by our Lord J.C. but what does that truly mean. “Sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin [break the law] because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” (Romans 6:14, 15).
“Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law” (Romans 3:31). The Scriptures teach the very opposite. Grace is like a governor’s pardon to a prisoner. It forgives him, but it does not give him the freedom to break another law. The forgiven person, living under grace, will actually want to keep God’s law in his or her gratitude for salvation. A person who refuses to keep God’s law, saying that he is living under grace, is sorely mistaken. I could never understand why Christians who love the Lord will keep all the Commandments but except one the 4th commandment. The Lord says "if you love me keep my commandments" In the fourth of the Ten Commandments, God says we are to observe the seventh-day Sabbath as His holy day. It seems God knew that people would be prone to forget His Sabbath, so He began this commandment with the word “remember.” God said, “My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips” (Psalm 89:34). Jesus said, “It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail” (Luke 16:17).
It is impossible for any of God’s moral law to change. All Ten Commandments are still binding today. Just as the other nine commandments haven’t changed, neither has the fourth commandment. Please take a look at this read www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/25/t/does-god-s-grace-blot-out-the-law-
In my Christian life this is what I've seen from the unbelievers, "i don't see proof", "science doesn't answer the questions", and once their questions are given answers "well I just don't believe, i don't need someone saying I'm going to hell for my sins". Now i put this before the end of the video so i don't know if he goes through all of them yet but I already see him going that way once he started talking about "the images", the "translation"
25:20 the beauty of the artistic rendition of Jesus. All cultures are enamored and touched by Jesus, we all associate ourselves with the creator, look at how many different cultures have portrayed him. I think that the reason “we” see the white Jesus In our works is do to nature of how our culture is dominated. If only we could let Him be the dominating factor. God bless all
I look at all your utube segments and I must say I learn a lot my boldness gets stronger on my witnessing thank God for you keep doing what your doing God bless
Preston, thank you for doing what you do. I understand the path you were leading him down. It is frequently used by another apologist named Jeff Durbin. At the point you were taking him down this path and he did not quite get it, I think you should have switched it up and said two things. 1. We were made in God's image and that is why we all have some understanding of Gods morality. More importantly God said "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them". 2. We suppress this truth because we want to be our own gods...In every discussion I've heard you use this method, it never works. It is hard for people to wrap their heads around. Simplify it. Good job brother I appreciate you and this is meant to help.
Praise the Lord!
Love these street talks, because it shows different perspectives. I love to see and respect when people who are both in agreement to be open to visiting ideas outside of their own. I am a believer in christ, and I’ve come to love and appreciate the way you present god to people. How you challenge their minds and their ways of thinking. Keep going Preston! And for anyone questioning is there more? I challenge you to seek that understanding .
The questions Preston serves people are done with such a lawyer’s sense of accuracy!
Great conversation! I was wondering Preston if this man is a pantheist? His comments near the end of the video suggest that for him their is very little, or no, distinction between God and the creation.
I'm really enjoying this
The issue with this young man, is that he has no understanding of what Sin is. The whole time I’m watching this video, especially near the end, I was yelling in my head, “take him through some of the 10 commandments, use the law the way Jesus & Paul did.” Preston is an amazingly intelligent guy, with amazing apologetics, “but wherefore the law was our school master to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” - Galatians 3:24
Some people understand God and His character after some clarification--but the love for their sin and because God hasn't revealed Himself to them sways them away.
Preston is so patient-- these conversations are so exhausting to me. I would not have the patience to hear people be inconsistent and change their mind and make things up just to not be
Hallelujah! All of the other Jesuses died but Jesus Christ Rose! Preach! 💃🏽💃🏾💃🏽

This was a great video thanks brother
You should do formal debates
I love way to communicate with people to connect with them. You kinda went hard on him . And you do not Go by a Script but by the Holy Spirit flowing. 👍
REAL God often finds us when we're at our worst. Not when we're mindlessly "acting Christian" like drones. I think that's how a lot of nonbelievers take our prescription of God. Like a rule book. But it's so important to instead lead with the idea that God finds you IN your sin, and through the relationship he wants to build with you, your heart begins to change.
Great job!
I enjoyed this video in the great work you're doing, and I thank you. At the end you said that God is not present in everyone's heart, as the other man claimed. However this brings up an important question because if God is omnipresent, doesn't that mean he is present everywhere, including in everyone's heart?
God is a gentlemen, He doesn’t just force Himself in...we must invite Him into our hearts first. It doesn’t change the fact that He will continue to pursue us because of His love for us, He is actually searching the earth (2 Chronicles 16:9). God doesn’t want anyone to perish.
In fact, scripture tells us that when Jesus ascended the Holy Spirit descended, and we were left with a Gift (John 14:27). So this begs a new question, who will allow Him to be present in their heart?
Love this Preston! Great stuff and really encouraging!
Did I see you on a Chevy commercial though? Haha
You should converse w those more educated on Christianity, like an ex-pastor, because they'd give more valid reasons to leave something they've spent most of their life in.
JUST MYOPINION that claim doesn’t make any sense. & my point was he should get someone MORE educated to debate w, not who’s the most educated on Christianity.
JUST MYOPINION i have & do, i just read it w an open mind, & while it’s an informative book, it’s also very misleading & there’s holes. A male energy, alone, created a masculine & feminine based universe w balance? A being that knows everything, including the future, allowed himself to be betrayed by one, no several, of his own subjects? “Let US make man in OUR image after OUR likeness,” who is us? If you can’t address all of the questions, then your response will be pointless.
D M US is referring to the Holy Trinity. It’s part of the prophecy that God had a plan for salvation from the beginning. When Jesus claimed His kingdom was Heaven, He meant it literally. Muslims can’t wrap their heads around it either. Jesus said He would send a Comforter after He leaves, that is the Holy Spirit of the Trinity. 3 persons that make up the Godhead. 1x1x1=1. Not 1+1+1= 3 If you believe in God, He transcends time, matter and space. Christians don’t claim to understand God’s ways, we don’t have all the answers.
@@DM-bf6vc how is it misleading???
@@DM-bf6vc us is Jesus. Jesus was around since the beginning and before.
Man I see so much hate in the comments. Lots of folks and many Christians criticizing Preston on this or that point. Dude is out on the street trying to share the gospel and challenge people. He didn't title his video "I know everything". I'd be really surprised to see others develop a conversation this far and handle it this well. Come on guys, terrible.
He is so sweet😊
This man struggles with what is authority. He questions authority and authenticity of the Bible, denies the big bang which are the modern authorities, then brings up the idea that books were historically altered according to another authority.
He's stuck with man's old ways and schemes instead of heeding Christ's call of putting on the new self.
Then he thinks goodness is internal and not imprinted from his creator.
Isaiah 64:6 says our good deeds are driven by impure motives to begin with.
We delude ourselves to say there's a God but then don't find the revelation significant enough to find the One True. It's a lazy response both intellectually and spiritually.
If goodness is imprinted by the creator than you don't even have free will about how much you will sin in your life.
@@suhae2175 If evil is imprinted in you by the creator then you have no choice in how much righteousness you do.
I think both statements are true. God utilizes us as extensions of his power as he created us. No one is at their core, good or evil. It's why we can repent and turn to Jesus Christ and his image overrides our sinful image, as we become like him. God's not the one who causes us to sin however. We let ourselves sin and he can utilize that habit even for his purposes if it's his will because he knows us fully.
We all have capacity to choose but there are times when he can override our choice to show his power. Otherwise there's no point in prayers. Jesus himself prays to the Father on Earth. Why if he is also God? He even tells us how to pray. Prayer is acknowledgement that your current situation is from God through the collective choices of yourself and those around you and your plea for a change in direction. However it's ultimate concession of God's power in your life and is an opportunity to reflect thankfulness and blessing back to him.
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. He's talking about how the physical world echoes God's spiritual kingdom. Meaning during the physical we can change over time but that ultimately the spiritual will merge with the physical.
So yes, God can show his power here and if you're good you will still sin until Christ comes and judges. If you are in Christ and he's in you through the Holy Spirit, you're free regardless of your sin or how much you sinned. But until then you'll be tempered in the fires of the trials of this world. You don't have a license to sin even though you're free. Sin always has consequences, saved or not.
Society makes rules with groups of people
That won't always agree with each different people in that group
But people can see the results of individuals actions towards another person to correct another person
If a person is not for the well-being of that group
This is how we as a species of humanity have Society Norms in the population of human beings
A blind person can have a standard of day and night although he can’t see it. You can’t conflate night with darkness. There are characteristics of day that’s not consistent with night. Especially depending on the season.
So that we can learn and sharpen our understanding of the worlds view and your view on these topica..you gotta find more challenging debators than these last few.. individuals that have a clearer understanding or argument for what they believe...so that they can stretch you and you stretch them....humbly speaking
Track Majors are you a Christian?
@@larryflip2294 yes sir...one who dabbles in street apologetics as well...
Track Majors do you normally debate Christians or non Christians. And who is normally a harder belief to debate in your opinion?
@@larryflip2294 id say both equally...Christians are typically a harder debate...but ive recently fell back from debating christians..ive been speaking to more skeptics thsn anything else
Track Majors I figured that debating another Christian is harder. I am an atheist and haven’t really debated anyone except friends. But good to know
Unpopular opinion: humans are not as godly as this young man makes them out to be. This argument is not happening for the first time. People get interviewed here and when asked about their moral views, they make it seem like humans spontaneously decided what the rules or morality are. Perhaps its because the rules are as old as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we think we came up with them, but we didn't. God did. We each have Holy Spirit shaped awareness in our hearts and minds that tell us what is good/bad and warns us when we are about to enter unholy ground in our minds and therefore at risk of acting sinfully. That doesn't come from nowhere, and perhaps its because we call it instinct or intuition, we've truly convinced ourselves that we, without guidance or source, know the difference between right and wrong.
As Ravi Zacharias says, a moral law demands a moral law giver.
The young man sounds more like he’s beyond agnostic, but hasn’t thre personal relationship w Christ. He does acknowledge there is a standard of right and wrong that comes from “a creator”…
hey man! great questions!
Interesting that you use catholicism and christianity as though catholics are not Christians, it's branch of christianity but catholics are still christians or nah?🤔 I always love these conversations btw, always enlightening 🙏🏽
Christianity is about following Jesus and living (as best as you can with the aid of the Holy Spirit) like him. Being Catholic is about following religion and a book of practices, in my experience.
I was raised Catholic until I was 14 and I abandoned it because of the way I seemed to be expected to understand who God is without asking "Who is God?" or questioning the way it was taught.
Only a year ago did I go back to church but not for a second did it cross my mind to go to a Catholic church in order to know God. Because my history has shown me that I won't know God there. And I needed Him. I was desperate for God. I needed a community that valued Him more than the practices that seemed to be emphasized in Catholic church above relationship with God.
Or you can go with whatever actions or sentence that you can do to another person you can't expect that another person won't do it to you so this concept stops some people from doing what a person can think in their head to be a reality of actions to do to another person
So in this paragraph, I'm talking about consequences
That can be a real Factor to some people
Following Christ is "simpler" (John 8:12).
This is a morality question: Which is superior: The current criminal state codes of your jurisdiction (devised by men) or the Law of Moses (devised by YHWH)? Which one would you prefer to live under?
God is not the author of confusion, there are lot of historical artifacts in ancient lands that are still there. Our own calendar is based on Jesus's time on earth 2020 A.D. like the way it was a conversation rather than a debate. Blessings Brother you are very astute.
Amen Amen ❤️
Amen. "Christianity is an experience..."
What if you were living in India around the year 700 BC and your whole family worshiped Krishna. You never heard about Jesus or Yahweh... Would you excluded from going to the Judeo-Christian Hell? Or would you be doomed to go to Hell because you weren't exposed to Jesus or Yahweh?
In those times -700BC, the whole world at one point or the other heard about the Israelites and their one true God because of the miracles he performed in their midst, at some point even foreigners left what they were worshipping and were serving Yahweh the one true God, for there were foreigners in their midst, e.g Ruth, Rahab... So what I am saying is he that has ear let him hear and be convicted to follow Jesus so that you would have no excuse when God comes to judge all.
@@yinkasalome This doesn't make any sense... You are saying that everyone in the world got the same revelation from Yahweh? To follow what commandments? Do you know when the Torah was compiled? Why did Yahweh allow other scriptures, religions and civilizations to exist before the Torah? How were those people to know that they were practicing the wrong religion? Why didn't this God intervene and tell them of his presence so all these poor souls wouldn't go to hell because they'd never heard of the right religion yet? Christians are obligated to accept the fact that God first chose to minister and support only the Jews, and to ignore all others, and even to assist the Jews in killing the neighboring Gentile populations. At the time there were large civilizations in Asia, Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Australia. People living in these areas did not learn anything about Jesus until centuries later, some even until around 1,500 years later. Why would God do this, ignore humans for tens of thousands of years only to present himself solely to a desert tribe on a tiny spot of land?
Who shoots your videos Preston?
If there is no Transcendent absolute moral Authority, no eternal Power, Being, Person, Moral Agent, then morality is relative. We have no business telling anyone that anything is wrong if it's based on what distinct societies deem is right. Why have prisons and court systems if morality is inside us all, who are we then to tell anyone not to commit crimes, that is THEIR MORALITY, they don't view it as a crime, it's THEIR idea of getting their own pleasure and satisfaction out of life

BOLD TV Thanks brother I appreciate it. God bless you.
ok so I'm sorry but i can't make it though this vid but I found it because I think i very recently identified as an agnostic. The thing is, I really want to believe in something but I just cant. I tell you what. It sucks man. Consider yourself lucky I guess.
ImMister Nobody I was once where you are. I envied those who had faith and believed in god but couldn’t do it myself. The evidence just wasn’t there in my opinion. But, see, I DID have faith. I actually had a belief in something; it just wasn’t in God. I believed in science. I couldn’t believe in God because I didn’t know who that was. I rejected the God of the Bible because it seemed ridiculous. And I took what science taught at face value. I violated my own scientific standards which state that prejudice and bias should have no place in weighing the evidence. But I outright rejected God of the Bible with extreme prejudice, having not once examined the claims nor taken them seriously. I just believed what I wanted to believe without doing the work. I was intellectually lazy. And I didn’t ever do the work until after god, who I thought was fictional, proved it to me Himself without me asking or searching. I was a dying Jewish atheist and had I wanted a god, which I decidedly did NOT, the last one I would’ve chosen would’ve been Jesus. I chose Him because He is true. Believing in that which is untrue is delusional. It isn’t the believe or the fervency of the belief that makes the belief true; it’s the object of the belief. If what you believe is actually true, then your belief is true. Believe what you want; it’s your God given right, but just make sure that what you believe is actually true or else it’s just make believe. Let’s talk.
The bible said white like wool it never said it was wool but he was a darkskin man
I was thinking the same thing. It was describing the color not the texture.
I agree. the "like wool" phrase is likely not describing jesus appearance in a racial sense. to understand how jesus looked, it would be better to just understand the region jesus came from and the fact that he was jewish, rather than the description from revelation that says white like wool. It also says his feet were burnished bronze and eyes like fire. I dunno about you but i never a race with flame eyes :o (that would be cool though
@@whitegirlblackhusband well ppl have blue green brown black eyes qnd etc remember Christ was different and also i was just correcting Preston but never the less Christ was a man of color but thats not important to me it use to be but not anymore
It sounds to me like this man just doesn't want to go to church. He'll accept God as long as he doesn't have to go to church
I think you may have missed the part where he said he does go to church
I know this is an older video and I usually like these videos but I think this one for the first 15 minutes or so made absolutely no sense because although he's calling the man agnostic it appears that the person he's talking to does believe in God and believes in a higher power and it's almost like he's beating him over the head with rhetoric for no reason because although the man is not a Christian he says he believes in God and he knows that there's something higher than him but he continues to push Christian beliefs on him which seems redundant and a waste of time the man is very open to what he saying but I think they should have maybe spent more time trying to redefine the man's title because clearly he's not the true definition of agnostic
The descriptions of Christ is in revelation 1:14-15 also if u go to song of Solomon 1:5 he describes himself and Christ came off of that line... He was a man of dark color...big misconception that the church has painted.
I’m sorry, but you are falsely teaching...In Song of Solomon 1:5, it is not Jesus speaking, it is a maiden...and it does not refer to Jesus as black in revelation 1:14-15...he has a glorious appearance, not of this Earth
Regardless, the race of Jesus is quite irrelevant, because Jesus calls us to love your neighbor as you love yourself...this is regardless of race or gender
@@brendang7726 so what tribe did he come from them??? And were they ppl of color???
@@brendang7726 also whenever it comes to his color or his ppl it's never relevant... What I'm saying is if this can be used to relate to a ppl that is lost why not use this as a tool???
Trina Barnett he was a Middle Eastern man. It doesn’t matter because God has no race, gender, or human qualities, other than the fact that we all were made in his image...Jesus said to show all of the nations regardless of race, I understand your point though
I have that same white & blue shirt...ha
Truly praying for you still. You claim to live and love truth, however you haven’t truly demonstrated that my friend.
You remember our convo on IG regarding the NAR... your responses were “pray about it”
You didn’t want truth in love bro.
You have declined the option to answer through scripture why your participation with the world and false teachers is acceptable in the eyes of JESUS. You can pm me on here also. No problem. Or on IG.
Let’s speak truth always. In love bro. I pray the lord guides you in deeper revelation of this
👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
so.... he's NOT an agnostic. ok
14:46 wow
Where did god come from? I’m agnostic
God is unlike humans he doesn't need to be created her just “was”
It might be helpful to establish the validity of the scriptures. The bible is God's word. It comes from God who is perfect and infallible. Basing morality from our own standard is basing that mortality on fallible man. You cannot know if you are right or not.
Lets say for the sake of argument there is an objective moral standard, I don't think there is a reliable way to know this standard. For example all the Christian sects interpret their bibles in different ways.
He says he's agnostic, but that's not agnosticism.
Regarding the moral, You could have said to him that we all in the west grew up in a post Judeo-Christian society and therefore, all our morals are based on biblical principles anyway..
And another thing, tell him or people like him questioning the church, that the Christians were there BEFORE the church existed, the first christians were the apostles of Jesus.
And that he could only come to his conclusion cause we saved the non canonical books and thetefore you can examine what was there in the first place, so no corruption there either...
Bro you’re an Israelite not a Christian bro
He's most definitely not an Israelite. And I can speak for him here and tell you he would say he is not an Israelite.
God is the father of jesus yes? so it is not 1+1+1=1 it is 1+1=1 why? because father is the God how can jesus be the son of himself in the case that the fatheris not the God?
