    *Special Note*: This is the video that gave birth to my channel. This video took me from around 400 subscribers to wherever I am today. It's not the most reflective or groundbreaking content I've ever produced, but holds a special significance for me for that reason. I remember the day I uploaded this like it was yesterday, and waking up the next day to 10,000 views overnight. I remember practically dropping my phone. I remember phoning a friend on the way to my Saturday job that morning (a job I no longer need thanks to TH-cam) and trying to vocalise my awe. Thanks to all who were there for that moment, or who have joined the channel since.
    This is the original description as uploaded in 2016:
    "Contradictions in scripture are plentiful enough to make any Abrahamic fundamentalist uncomfortable. Fortunately, there is a great and incredibly effective way to deal with these contradictions; you simply ignore or deny them. I don't think this man is necessarily trying to be malicious, but even if the harm that this way of thinking causes is not intentional, I still feel as though I can't just let it be. If he can make a video proclaiming his faith, then I can sure as hell make a video proclaiming mine."

    • @igora50
      @igora50 7 ปีที่แล้ว +362

      People lived in Europe for longer and had more time to realize this. We are one country here, US, and we only really see one way - Christianity (It is the majority, but of course there are other religions here too).
      What I am saying is, you have bordering countries who are extremely religious, or were in the past, and you learned from the mistakes of those countries that religion is not the way to go.
      But for us, we are really far away from the rest of the world so we haven't adopted those views yet.
      Of course, the internet and education is changing that, thankfully. I'd say in 1 century religion will be a minority.

      Now we're seeing religious belief in Europe increase due to Muslim immigration while religious belief is in sharp decline in the USA.

      The beginning of the earth and the universe, like almost everything, has not been totally worked out in every small detail. However, we can say conclusively that it wasn’t willed into existence in a week or so ~5000 years ago. What we don’t know, shows we need to continue to figure stuff out. None of that points to any deity’s involvement. There is still, no proof for the existence of any of the 100s of proposed gods through out all of history. Not the latest ones or the older ones.

    When I was 14, I asked my Sunday school teacher about all the contradictions that i saw in the bible. I had never heard the word fundamentalist at the time, but he replied by saying "if you don't accept every word of the Holy Bible as God's sacred word, then you don't accept any of it." I am eternally grateful to that Sunday School teacher for setting me free, because since i could not accept every word, i did not have to accept any of it. I stopped going to Sunday School and church and started on a path that eventually led me to being a happy Atheism.

One said, "One Way" with an arrow pointing up. I also remember my dad tearing off the merit patches on my christian version of boy scouts uniform.

      And the constitution isn't there to tell people what's right or wrong; it protects a few fundamental rights of people. It saves a lot of hassle and that's about all it does. Without it you would still have laws protecting those rights, but fundamental christians for instance, could more easily change those to shut up critical thinkers.
      And even those laws don't tell right from wrong; they merely portray what we, the people, consider right and wrong. If we disagreed we could still change the constitution or throw it out altogether. Remember, we live in a democracy, not a theocracy. Our laws are not and never will be set in stone, no matter how much Americans think they are.

      Ha. Maybe god will send a bear for you?
      1) Sending Bears to Murder Children
      So a guy named Eliseus was traveling to Bethel when a bunch of kids popped up and made fun of him for being bald. That had to suck, and you can't blame Eliseus for being pissed and cursing them to God. But God had Eliseus' back, by which I mean he sent two bears to maul 42 of these kids to death. For making fun of a bald dude. I have to think Eliseus was looking for something along the lines of a spanking, or maybe the poetic justice of having the kids go bald, but nope, God went straight for the bear murder. But on the plus side, that pile of 40+ children's corpses never made fun of anybody again. (4 Kings 2:23-24)
      Hating Ugly People
      In what should be good news for intolerant religious conservatives, God really does hate people who are different from the norm. Of course, God isn't as worried about skin color or sexual orientation as he is about whether you're ugly or not. Because if you're ugly, you can just go worship some other god, okay? (Even though God will punish you if you do and also they don't exist.) Here's the people God does not want coming into his churches: People with blemishes, blind people, the lame, those with flat noses, dwarves, people with scurvy, people with bad eyes, people with bad skin, and those that "hath their stones broken." Given that God is technically responsible for giving people all of these afflictions in the first place, this is an enormous dick move. (Leviticus 21:17-24)

    I was a young-Earth creationist until about 7th grade. I was raised in a Christian household, and I spent kindergarten and first grade at a private school that taught this very idea. Today, I am at a university majoring in biology, and I definitely know that evolution happened. Public school science classes saved my brain.
    What really gets me about this shit is that trying to break free of these ideologies when they were engrained into you so young is really difficult. I spent years struggling with how to make the science I was being taught line up with the Biblical teaching I had received. It's sad to see that so many have been indoctrinated to believe this bullshit, and they can't break free of it.

      Omnipotence is defined as
      having virtually unlimited authority or influence
      Merriam webster
      Having unlimited power
      Dictionary.com
      This in no way translates to being able to do everything and anything.
      No, it says unlimited power, authority, or influence. Making a rock to big for omnipotence (unlimited power) to lift is not a question of power; by definition. He, by the terms of the question itself, has ALL power. No, the question is nonsensical. Its like asking what is the sound of green. Its not a issue of power, but of definition. Can one make a TRI (3) TRIangle circle? No, by definition the triangle has 3 angles and the circle has none. God doesnt lack power for not being able to make triangle circles. God doesnt lack power for not being able to make a rock so heavy He cant lift it. Its inherent nonsense. Inherently impossible.

    • @skynet3d
      @skynet3d 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Kyle Pierce So, according to you, saying "God cannot lie" is equivalent to saying "he cannot make a rock so heavy he cannot lift it"? I guess that might somehow apply if you would argue that he cannot make a lie into truth. That would be an acceptable limitation of an omnipotent god, but being able to tell a lie is not a feat for only the omnipotent, I can tell a lie, if god cannot, he is even less powerful than me, and I'm pretty sure I'm not omnipotent.

    • @Sprinic

      skynet3d, Why wouldn't it be? Is not God defined as omnipotent, yet unable to lie? Its the same thing.
      He cant make a lie into a truth. A lie, by definition, is the opposite of the truth.
      No, again, you are falling into the same trap. You being able to lie in no way means you have more power. It isnt about power. It is about words, their definitions, and the "law of non contradiction". Are you perfect? God is. Are you Holy? God is. Are you completely Just and devoid of ALL evil? God is. You are not. Therefore it is not a lacking of power that prevents God, but His very definition.

The kid hides behind another tree so the man doesn't see the kid. He figures it out: He was resting when he was could've been working so god sent him a sign. The man starts to work everyday without resting and ends up being a millionaire. He is exhausted, but rich, and everytime someone compliments his hard work, he says "It was all because of god who guided me".

Do you count that as a mistake? Or just stupid filler? That lowers the average. And then you get to jews eradicating a city in a holy war because they're assholes and writing "And on the Third Day they shalt visit vengeance unto the city of those dead mofos, and God will smile on all the bloody murder because he's a sadistic piece of shit" ten years later because this was what passed for recorded history back then.

I wouldn't call Drizzt do'Urden a mistake, because fantasy fiction isn't meant to be taken as True(tm) and neither was that shit, but technically it isn't true so... what do you call it?

On his site, it was obvious that he did not know thing one about mental illness/personality disorders. I froze one of his TH-cam videos that he shot from his office (he called himself a doctor) and I zoomed into his doctorate diploma on the wall. The diploma was from a diploma mill, The diploma mill's physical address was located in a single suite in an general use office building and they didn't have a plackard on their wall, not a listing in the building's registry, or even signage out front or in the parking lot. It was sickening to me. Some of their meetings sounded like a tent revival, a whole lot of hands-on healing, and they loved talking in tounges and giving money. Some of the stuff that they said sounded dangerous. On their website, they made it known that one of the two main people, a husband and wife (the Smiths), the wife side gigs was realestate and the man said he was a professional councelor; I checked all of the states counceling/therapy's regulatory bodies and her name was not among any of them. I wrote them a damning Google review and I think that I reached out to the state's Board of Behavioral Health, Psychology Board, IPCC board, Marriage and Family Therapist board, and Drug Counselor Board; the sites had no evidence of the Smiths having licenses.

      For the world's oldest objects, uranium-thorium-lead dating is the most useful method. "We use it to date the Earth," Higham said. While radiocarbon dating is useful only for materials that were once alive, scientists can use uranium-thorium-lead dating to measure the age of objects such as rocks. In this method, scientists measure the quantity of a variety of different radioactive isotopes, all of which decay into stable forms of lead. These separate chains of decay begin with the breakdown of uranium-238, uranium-235 and thorium-232.

      but scientist's theories from 1900's still changed even when they have basis.
      before you try to debate, please watch video and my reply, so you would look intellectual speaker to me, thanks.
      th-cam.com/video/M7t-uAozvQ8/w-d-xo.html
      God is not a fictional being bro. I know its hard for you to understand. But bible is a book that knows the future 100 percent and told prophecies that is accurate. Meaning a higher being can only make that. A human cannot do that. If you read the bible. You will know what im saying bro. Not gonna lie about it and waste my time. If you done your research too. There is something called God particle that scientist test and was proven that it can create matter. Ever heard of big bang and let there be light? If not thats very misfortunate of you. Big bang is a scientist hypothesis and let there be light is in bible but still it correlates right? And also scientest conclude that light can create matter but only if done right not just luck. With the precise intervals and amount of light. You never seen a matter create from nothing right? Because they said only a higher being or a creator can do that. And also bible theories are appearing now like the giants and its gigantic skeletons, noahs ark and moses tablets and what do we know to conclude that something is impossible?
      5 percent of our universe is visible to earth even in the strongest devices.
      Dark matter makes up 30.1 percent of the matter-energy composition of the universe; the rest is dark energy (69.4 percent) and “ordinary” visible matter (0.5 percent).
      Earth is 71 percent water
      5 percent of ocean is only discovered.
      We are only are 0.7 civilization where as 15 almost discovered everything.
      Earth crust is 65 percent unexplored
      Crust is only 1 percent of it
      Every 500 years we change our universally accepted facts like earth is flat changed to like a globe
      Wright brothers were told that humans are impossible to fly yet they flown after years only.
      So bro. How is impossible define to you if humans dont even know a thing in this world. And what is fictional and what is not. All i can tell you is God is real and there is only one God. So can you please read bible , study our history and research so you will hopefully understand that only this book, the bible is what we can trust in this mysterious world. The words of God.
      This world is lucifers kingdom. This world is only a test and full of suffering and God wants to know if you can love him more than yourself. Because lucifer betrayed God because he was obsessed to himself and rebelled against God. God is testing you through all this pain and if you fail to love him. You will become lucifers slaves for he envies humanity. The price for the ones who will love him is eternal happiness. So much better than 100 years of suffering in earth. GOD is giving us free will. For God loves us. Please use this free will to love God back and dont make it unrequited.

      -No, no prophecies has been proven. Not once. And if they did, it will be reported to be way too early or too far from the original sched of the miracle. Let's take for example, the anti-christs prophecies. So many has been accused in the past for bieng the anti-christs, even Obama. But what happened next? They accuse a new one.
      -you know physicists, the ones who has actual PhD. Well, apparently they tell is that we should not think that the big bang was the first thing that emerged from this world. It is basically a place-holder for loose ends/a.k.a lack of the outside cosmological knowledge. Maybe there were big bangs before this one? One has once said. So yeah, you should not refer the big bang, as if the bible was referring to it as "there was light" sentence in genesis.
      -you claiming that there was a god that created all of this mess is an extraordinary claim. That is a mistake you don't want to make sir. Asserting that there were some high power beyond the cosmos, can be dismissed by saying that there were no high power beyond the cosmos. Assertion, over assertion and repeat, your not going anywhere. It's obvious why you would say such a thing because it fits your god's narrative, something we can't explain could only be explained by high power.
      This is what we call, brain failures.
      (Not referring by your level of intellect btw)
      Similar to optical illusions, your brain thinks that the image is alive. But really, it's just stationary. Similar to how you think a high power is the answer for your theistic problems.
      There you go, that might do it.

      @@renzezekieldivida3014 sequencial prophecies in israel
      this are the prophecies fulfilled that man cannot make up which makes bible a book of future and made of a higher being which is God
      The nation of Israel, which had been divided into two kingdoms since
      the time of Solomon (950B.C.) Israel in the north and Judah in the south
      would be one united nation in the last days (Ezekiel 37:15-22). And so it is,
      Israel is one nation.
      The nation Israel would be born in one day (Isaiah 66:8). On May 14,
      1948 Israel became a nation
      During the Diaspora (the dispersion of the Jews to the four corners of
      the globe); Israel would become a wasteland (Deuteronomy 29:23-28;
      Ezekiel 36:8-11; Ezekiel 36:33-36). During the past 1900 years Israel
      became a nearly uninhabited, desolate wasteland.
      Israel, once a desolate desert, would blossom in the last days and
      export produce to the world (Isaiah 27:6; 35:1-2; Ezekiel 36:34-36).
      Israel's increased rainfall and world-renowned irrigation technology have
      caused the land to blossom. Incredibly, as foretold, they currently export
      over 800 million dollars worth of fresh produce each year, including over
      200 million in flowers and ornamental plants!
      The Jews would begin to regather in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12; Ezekiel
      37:21-22; 38:8; Luke 21:29-31). Over five million Jews have returned to
      Israel in recent times! This is unprecedented in human history. Never has a
      people group been dispersed for hundreds of years to every corner of the
      globe, and then regathered back to their homeland. Yet, God said it and He
      has done it before our very eyes
      Returning Jews would come from the north, south, east, and west
      (Isaiah 43:5-6; Jeremiah 31:7-10). Amazingly, nearly a million Jews have
      emigrated from Russia in the north. Over 100,000 Ethiopian Jews have
      emigrated from the south (Zephaniah 3:10). Since 1948, Jews have
      emigrated from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, everywhere
      All surrounding nations would be united against Israel (Psalm 83:4-8;
      Zechariah 12:2). This has never happened in history. Yet today, Israel is
      surrounded by Muslim nations sworn to her destruction. Muhammad said: The
      Hour (last day) will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the
      stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say 'O Muslim! There is a Jew
      hiding behind me, so kill him.'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, vol. 4, b. 52, Hadith #
      177)
      The returning Jews would have no king until Jesus returns (Hosea 3:4-
      5). As foretold, Israel has been without a king for over 2500 years.
      Amazingly, not only is Israel no longer a theocracy, but today the Jewish
      state is governed by a democracy comprised of multiple political parties.
      Rebuilt temple in Israel anticipated (Daniel 9:27; 12:11; Mark 13:14; 2
      Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 11:1-2). The prophet Daniel, Jesus, Paul, and
      John all refer to the temple in the last days. Therefore we know it must be
      rebuilt. Preparations by the Temple Institute are nearly complete
      Israel would be invincible (Zechariah 12:6-9). Since 1948, tiny Israel
      has been attacked in three major wars and several lesser wars. Yet despite
      being vastly outnumbered, they have defeated all attacking foes. Even during
      the final battle, when it looks like Israel will be destroyed, the Lord shall
      deliver her (Jeremiah 30:3-7; Zechariah 14; Mark 13:14-20). An invincible
      Israel makes no sense unless you believe God's Word.

      I think that's what most Christians are aiming to do if they find themselves arguing with an atheist. Say stuff that makes no sense when viewed objectively, and claim "faith" is needed just to try and make you emotional, and then pounce on you for being emotional and disregarding everything you say from then on.

    Just some examples of contradictions:
    Shall we kill or not?:
    Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill."
    Leviticus 24:17 "And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death."
    vs.
    Exodus 32:27 "Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, . . . and slay every man his brother, . . . companion, . . . neighbor."
    I Samuel 6:19 " . . . and the people lamented because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter."
    Has anyone ever seen god?:
    I John 4:12 "No man hath seen God at any time."
    vs.
    Genesis 32:30 "For I have seen God face to face."
    Exodus 33:11 "And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend."
    When was Jesus crucified?:
    Mark 15:25 "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."
    vs.
    John 19:14-15 "And about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out . . . crucify him."
    Did Paul's men hear a voice?
    Acts 9:7 "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man."
    vs.
    Acts 22:9 "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."
    Is God omnipotent?
    Matthew 19:26 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
    vs.
    Judges 1:19 "And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
    JESUS AND THE THIEVES:
    Some gospels say Jesus was crucified with two thieves, though the Romans never crucified thieves.
    Mark - The two thieves are mentioned, but there is no conversation
    Matthew 27:44 - The two thieves taunt Jesus
    Luke 23:39-42 - One thief taunts Jesus and is criticized by the other. Jesus promises the 2nd thief that they would be in Paradise that day, though John and Acts say he did not ascend to heaven until 40 days after his resurrection
    John - The two men aren’t described as thieves
    JESUS’ LAST WORDS:
    Mark 15:34-37, Matthew 27:46-50 - Jesus says: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (but they use different Greek words for “God” - Matthew uses “Eli, is” and Mark uses “Eloi”)
    Luke 23:46 - Jesus says: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.”
    John 19:30 - Jesus says: “It is finished.”

      Wagner There's killing, then there's murdering. Judah could not drive out the inhabitants with iron chariots (the 12 tribes namesakes are personified in Judges including Judah; if it was God the writer talked about, it wouldn't really be God or any being worthy of worship). Prophets have seen God (through angels) in human form, but not God Itself, which no mortal has the aura nor compacity to comprehend. As for Yeshua's past words, he probably said all those things

    Regarding Noah's ark... Let's assume it happened. After the 40 days and the ark ran aground, the animals were released.
    Again, there's only 2 of every animal.
    So... the carnivores were released. 2 lions, with only 2 deer, 2 gazelles, etc... for food.
    There wouldn't be time for deer to repopulate their herds before lions, tigers, and other carnivores began to eat them.
    That means any species that gets eaten by carnivores would have immediately been eaten... Or, if they weren't eaten, then carnivorous animals would have starved, and we wouldn't have carnivores today.

    • @djkidna
      @djkidna 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      So basically what I see here is that you, as a follower of the Bible, have apparently never actually read it, understood it, or scrutinized it. For one thing, immediately after the flood in Genesis 9:3, God gives permission for meat to now be consumed, completely throwing out your argument that God maybe somehow turned everything vegetarian. Furthermore, there is Biblical contradiction to the idea that there was no carnivorous activity among animals prior to the Flood. In Genesis 4:7, God tells Cain that sin is "crouching at the door" for him. But it uses a verb used to describe a predatory animal ready to pounce on prey, which is shown later in the Bible to describe a lion. This imagery would not be used unless there was already predatory behavior in animals, because otherwise Cain would not have understood God's meaning as there would be nothing to compare sin to with such behavior, and if God had meant crouching in some other way, a different verb would have been used.
      Going away from the very fallible Bible, there is a vast amount of other scientific evidence to go on that it would have been impossible for two of every single animal to be in place together and then spread out, such as Bill Nye's example concerning lack of evidence to show animals only found in one continent ever being in any of the others (no trace of kangaroos outside of Australia). And the idea that at some point all predatory animals were once vegetarian is a completely ludicrous idea when we know, from science, that you can tell what an animal eats by their teeth, as the teeth that an herbivore has are made specifically for grinding vegetation and the teeth that a carnivore has are made specifically for tearing flesh. If a carnivorous species ever at any point were purely plant eaters, this would show in their teeth, as their teeth would have been the kind for grinding vegetation, not for tearing flesh. And no matter how far back in the fossil record you go, you see no signs of this happening with every single carnivorous animal. There isn't a single predatory cat in the fossil record that has teeth for grinding vegetation. And heck, there is fossil evidence in dinosaurs, predating any modern animal that is described in the Bible, where we have undeniable proof that animals were eating each other and fighting each other. Long before the evidence of mankind being capable of using tools, much less building a giant sea-worthy craft capable of holding two of every single land animal species on the planet.

He let all the people who wanted to survive go onto the Ark, but at the time, everyone thought that Noah, building a Ark when there had been no rain whatsoever was absolutely ridiculous. When the flood had ended God promised not to use the flood again with a rainbow. And he said in the Bible that he would come back again wahen all of the gospel has been reached out to all the countries. That doesn’t mean everyone needs to accept it but at least had somewhat of a chance. Idk what God exactly thinks.
