    There's a wonderful pamphlet that counters the point, "You can't "act as if" God exists. "Lectures on faith." The author was either really smart or divinely inspired.

    Even without the screen, the computer is putting out the image of the triangle. Over a decade ago we had scientific answers to this with brain scanning technology that allowed us to see what others were imagining or looking at. We already know where the image is. It's not a mystery any more and hasn't been one since before you started your CZcams channel.

    2 Corinthians 4:4 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭3‬ Aaron Abke talks about how Paul’s gospel is different than Jesus’ gospel, do you believe this is true?

    "everything required by the Law of the Lord" could be more than simply doing the circumcision... the Law of the Lord is short-hand for the big story of Israel that Jesus is re-enacting with his life. Going down to Egypt and then returning - *is* a fulfillment of the law of the Lord - that is - of the big story... not to say that every Jewish child had to do this - but rather that Jesus is fulfilling all the parts of the story of Israel where Israel failed. He is perfectly re-enacting the big story, where Israel failed, Jesus succeeded... that's the point of the quote from Hosea 11. If you look at the Hosea chapter 11 quote, it isn't a prediction - rather it is a complaint that God called Israel out of Egypt, at which point they went after foreign gods... so, by going down to Egypt and then came up out of Egypt - and *not* going after other gods, but remaining completely faithful to Yahweh, Jesus thereby resolves and thus fulfils the complaint of Hosea.

    Dawkins always justifies his beliefs, (yes his beliefs not facts), by ridiculing God. Well this God doesn't sound good to me so I'll willingly believe any old nonsense as long as it doesn't involve God.

  • @henryschmit3340
    @henryschmit3340 Před 19 hodinami

    The skeptics always miss the point. God was simply regulating something that already necessarily existed. Slavery as described in the Bible was a last resort for the poor to survive. If God had banned it He would have removed their only means of survival.

  • @adnans8778

    Peterson is such a bore and a charlatan. He's gone well beyond his competence and now just obfuscates, trying to sound clever but actually not saying anything at all. He's a psychologist - not a theologian, not a politician, not a philosopher, not a historian, not a humanitarian, and not interesting. He is perfect however, for angry 17-year old incels in America.

    The moment a particle is a wave; it has to be a conscious wave! Nicola Tesla states, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration” Gravity is the conscious attraction among waves to create the illusion of particles, and creates our experience-able Universe. Max Planck states: "Consciousness is fundamental and matter is derived from Consciousness". Life is the Infinite Consciousness, experiencing the Infinite Possibilities, Infinitely. We are "It", experiencing our infinite possibilities in our finite moment. Our job is to make it interesting!
