"Why has modern society abandoned god?" Because god was invented by primitive iron age people to explain anything that they couldn't understand, by means of magic. In the three thousand years that followed the collective knowledge of mankind has advanced enormously so that one after another the simplistic fairy tales from the bible fell to pieces, until there was nothing left of god. Only a handful of dimwits still insist that we should close our eyes to modern knowledge, and stupidly take every word of the iron age bible as the literal truth. Good luck with that.
I know right!? Science has given us all the great answers like ... " everything we see obviously just popped out of nothing" or... " clearly life began as swirling magic slime... with stardust...ohhh and probably some alien stuff too" ... Don't let the enemy deceive you friends, God's word is the only truth. Science does not oppose scripture it reinforces it.
@@hoosierpatriot124 Sure! Most recent would be the James Webb telescope viewing stars and quasars that are way too young to be from the " time period" that the telescope is viewing.

Trust me friend, the evidence for Christianity is overwhelming, I was a devoted atheist for most of my life until I read the Bible and compared that to history of the time and the world around us.

"I hate God so I don't want to believe the Bible is His word, but I believe anything that says it isn't His Word" - the atheist that comes up with excuses to not believe. You know, I'd rather trust in the Bible since it's been proven right across all generations. And Israel still exists, whereas the culture that created that Enuma is extinct. You want to know why? Because God exists and He promised to resurrect Israel and preserve it across generations when it was scattered among the nations for her sins. Since the Bible has been proven right (through science and archeology and history and morality and ethics), then its future predictions are also to be trusted. Repent now before the Lord or you will be cast into prison and separated from the goodness of God and His Kingdom forever as all God-haters deserve.
@@theholyark4443 okay sure why not I'll bite so what are these evidences that span so many fields of study? I'll wait but don't expect ,w to hold my breath
If there is no God, from where do you get your ethics? You are nothing more than an animal that has somehow developed a higher level of sentience than other animals. Why obey the rules of some other animal? Yet you do, and the only book anyone can look to that tells the human animal how to live is the Bible. Strange, isn’t it?
God's name is Yahweh. Yahweh is a male god invented by the ancient Hebrews and believed, worshiped and obeyed by Jesus, his only begotten son whose teachings became Christianity. You have never met Yahweh or his son.

Yep. Those who treat the Old Testament as history are willing fools
Exactly but like my gramps always said " it's easier to herd sheep then eagles"
"I hate God so I don't want to believe the Bible is His word, but I believe anything that says it isn't His Word" - the atheist that comes up with excuses to not believe.
You know, I'd rather trust in the Bible since it's been proven right across all generations. And Israel still exists, whereas the culture that created that Enuma is extinct. You want to know why? Because God exists and He promised to resurrect Israel and preserve it across generations when it was scattered among the nations for her sins.
Since the Bible has been proven right (through science and archeology and history and morality and ethics), then its future predictions are also to be trusted.
Repent now before the Lord or you will be cast into prison and separated from the goodness of God and His Kingdom forever as all God-haters deserve.
@@theholyark4443 okay sure why not I'll bite so what are these evidences that span so many fields of study? I'll wait but don't expect ,w to hold my breath
@@theholyark4443atheists do not hate any gods.
There isn't A god. Quit wasting your time and energy on this fairy tale.
You're a fairy tale
Evolution is a fairy tale
Then why do you hate Him?
@carlinbyrd3948 that's the greatest irony. He's on a video about a pastor asking why atheists hate God, hating God lol
If there is no God, from where do you get your ethics? You are nothing more than an animal that has somehow developed a higher level of sentience than other animals. Why obey the rules of some other animal? Yet you do, and the only book anyone can look to that tells the human animal how to live is the Bible. Strange, isn’t it?
God's name is Yahweh.
Yahweh is a male god invented by the ancient Hebrews and believed, worshiped and obeyed by Jesus, his only begotten son whose teachings became Christianity.
You have never met Yahweh or his son.
AMEN!
