I’ve been an atheist for a long time and now I’m leaning more and more towards the Catholic Church as I read about this stuff. There’s something here. In 700 BC, the book of Isaiah predicts the coming of the Messiah and says that the Messiah will be righteous but we (meaning the Jews) will think him wicked. He will be punished for our inequities but we (the Jews) will think he was punished for his own inequities. It also says that while the Jews will shun him, he will become the light of the Gentiles (us non-Jews) and will bring the word of the one true God to the ends of the earth. That’s astonishing to me because that’s the story of Jesus. Even as a logically thinking atheist that gets to me. Sure, some have said that the story of Jesus was altered to fit this description from Isaiah. But this doesn’t account for Jesus being hated by the Jews and loved by the Gentiles. This doesn’t account for Jesus spreading the word of the God of Israel to the ends of the earth. And the more and more I read the early accounts of historians and the early Christians, the more and more it’s evident that the story of Jesus of Nazareth has been the same from the very start. Whether or not you believe that he performed miracles, was the Son of God, died for our sins and was resurrected, the earliest Christians DID believe that and that story has been completely unaltered. It just blows my mind.
I applaud you for having an open mind that actually searches the evidence. I'm a christian myself and I often feel like people just assume that I'm a christian, because my parents are. I'm a Christian because all the evidence points to it being true. I'm a Christian because God touched me and lead me to Himself and His word when I was at my lowest and completely changed my life. God is alive and He is so good. Today I am very passionate about theology, history and archeology. I study them passionatly and everything just points to Jesus. It's amazing. Also I have never had so much love before. When God fills you with His love it just flows over, you just feel the need to share it to everyone you know. By the grace of God for His glory. I'm gonna be praying for you brother, keep on the good work.
Romans Catholics church created Pegan counterfeit religion Islam and Christianity stolen stories from Tanakh. Jesus is not the same Messiah of Isreal. Read the history beside Bible . I m Jewish believer of Yeshua Messiah but not Jesus Christ Pegan Name.
Such a generic “prophecy” would fit the story of many individuals. If it weren’t for jesus, you’d be worshipping a different person, believing he fits the prophecy as well

The empire was devoid of love, compassion, and humanity. It was mostly based on violence, senseless bloodshed, excessive hedonism and materialism, pleasures of the flesh, and oppression. Leaving a deep empty feeling in the hearts of the many, this new religion filled a deep longing within people that the empire nor its existing religion could never fill. The empire was destined to fall. When people have had enough suffering they'll demand change. That was why Christianity succeeded so miraculously against all odds considering they were just a small fringe group among so many others at the time. When you are wounded so deeply already, people need a way to heal at the core of ones' being. Christianity offered that respite from the centuries of endless torture by the empire. The sadomasochistic orgy party torture show that was essentially the empire, finally came to an end.
Please do not turn things upon their head :D . The Roman empire was not more violent than Christian nations were after them, rather less, I would argue..The prosecution of pagans by Christian emperors and kings was way more violent and massive than vice versa. Christianity was initially accepted, until they began offending the other religious paths. But pagans were prosecuted simply for praying to their deities. The pagans were indeed pro life where as the Christians were anti-life. I think they won because they appealed to the weaker in society. Instead of having to fight to gain power by their own struggle they could now have it just by believing in Jesus and gaining kingdom in the after life. By deceiving the people in this way the fanatic christian sect could convince the plebeians. But in the end it did not change a thing, as slavery ended only in the nineteenth century. Christianity destroyed civilization and it took until the renaissance before we could properly continue. The Christians were no heroes. They were comparable with Islamic State.

Then also the tale of fellow Jews sending the Jewish Jesus to death when in fact he had ,he being Jesus, aggravated a Roman response to his organising then oppressed Jews in a demonstration in Jerusalem. The Jews called him the Messiah and understood him as a voice against their oppression. This is further supported by the fact he was unpopular with the wealthy Jewish scholars who had bartered favour under Roman rule and thus neglected their fellow Jewish counterparts in favour of social and economic advancement or privileges.

@@ibn3050 being God is to be divine, both father , son , holy ghost are divine and equal at same time , but they have hierarchy of respect to each other , which means that the son cannot be greater than the father but the son was never born else he won't be divine . hence the son is equal in all power and authority but the son lays it down to obey his father because his father is greater than him . It was father's love that brought forth this creation and that love was for his son upon whom all things were created for the son . When Christ came and died , he wanted to bring us to that same level of love and intimacy he shared with the father so that we will not be slaves but be adopted and become heirs to his kingdom , all who believes in him share the same level of authority and divine attributes and are equal to the son but we will never be greater than the son because we lay it down for the son as he does in same manner towards his father .
What doesn't make sense is why Christians were persecuted so much and Jews weren't. The Gospel would've mentioned things like: "Turn the other cheek" and "Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's...." etc..... Jesus's gospel was about love and not being attached to worldly things. Whereas The Jewish perpective was far more antagonistic towards Rome and its pagan tradition. Jews were forbidden by their religion to worship idols or other Gods and had a lot of "bad blood" with Rome b'cos of the war in Judea.

Supposedly... Supposedly... Constantine saw the sign of the Cross ✝️ and the words above it, "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" meaning, "With this sign you will conquer." Yet he had all his soldiers' shields painted with the Labanum, i.e., the Chi-Rho asterisk instead. And this six-legged asterisk was applied to or engraved in all Roman epigraphy since. So what gives?
Christians were a "sect" of Christianity in Jerusalem before the destruction of the temple in 70CE? Don't you mean Judaism? Please clarify. These videos are generally useful to refer my students but its not clear at all here what you mean. thank you!

Wow I always thought it was funny that the emperor did a lot of stuff on his death bed. And folks will say that the interpretations and translations were corrupted with pagan Ideas. Made to accommodate what people prayed to before with saints. But I think that if you actually read the Bible . And specifically what Jesus said. It’s wild! To do what Jesus did and act like Him is seen as impossible. To have faith like Him , would be seen as crazy today. To love your neighbor as you love yourself. And to love God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul. These ideas at the time were nearly the opposite of what was going on around everyone at the time. Roman law to most I assume like me would think it is barbaric but I know that some will think it was the golden age. But I also think that Roman law, was better then what was going on around it at the time too.
The Christian religion has crazy ideas such as sacrificing yourself for your friends. And that the Lord will provide for you. A belief that the greatest God of all and creator of all is able to perform miracles for you serve His will for the greater good. A belief that serving God is in one’s own best interest. You could even believe that He is able and could make your offspring as numerous as the stars and you would seen as just or righteous believing so.
So that is why Constantine replaced the Anchor and dolphin which stood for Christianity? He saw a cross and give the original symbol a Roman makeover...smh. Romans make my teeth hurt.
According to the most reliable historian ( Eusebius of Nicodemia ) The entire council of Nicea 325AD which was pivitol in the establishment of the orthodox church was influenced & controlled by the Emperor Constantine. He conveined it, He chose the location, his personal summer palace!,he presided and even made the final decision to view 'Homousious' ( of the same substance') as meaning that 'Christ is God'. He then issued an edict which proscribed 'anyone not accepting the conclusons and being in possession of any writings contrary to the council will have his goods confiscated, be thrown into prison & be exected'. He thereafter organised his various 'diocease' ( roman provinces0 to be controlled by individual bishops all answerable to the state. Thus complete control! Can you imagine King Herod doing the same with Jesus & his apostles? A compromise with very bad results!
The portrayal of women as teachers is more or less accurate. Hypatia was not the first female philosopher in the Hellenistic world. Nor was she the last - a generation later Aedisia was another famous pagan Neo-Platonist teacher who worked in Alexandria. Much of the film's depiction of pagans Christians and Jews has some historical basis, as Alexandria had long been a city of often violent clashes between factions and religious groups. The movie makes some changes to the history which seem aimed at making the Christians led by Bishop Cyril to be the villains of the story. The film invents an attack on the Jews by Cyril's faction that provokes a Jewish response. Historically, it actually was the Jews that struck first. The movie makes many other changes to the history to present something of a polemical agenda. In summary: The movie's first half centres on "the Great Library of Alexandria" and depicts Hypatia teaching there. In fact, the Great Library had long since ceased to exist. The movie seems to be trying to depict the "daughter library" in the Serapeum, but evidence shows that this temple was derelict by Hypatia's time and had long since ceased to house any library. The scenes of a Christian mob sacking a library are fiction and there is zero evidence Hypatia had any connection with the Serapeum in any way. Hypatia is depicted as an innovative thinker making new discoveries. In fact, we have no evidence that she was anything like this, though she was a respected neo-Platonist and skilled mathematician. It is also strongly implied that she was an atheist. As she was a neo-Platonist, this is nonsense - her school of thought had a strong and rather mystical belief in "the One" which was remarkably close to Christian and Jewish monotheism. The scenes with her doing experiments on inertia and discovering heliocentrism are total fiction and both are highly unlikely given her philosophical background. The movie depicts the dispute between the Prefect Orestes and the Bishop Cyril as being centred on Orestes support for Hypatia and the fact she is a learned woman. This is found nowhere in the sources. She was part of the feud only in that she was a known political supporter of Orestes. Her murder was not motivated by a hatred for her learning and was simply an act of political revenge for the death of one of Cyril's supporters. It was pure (and typical) Alexandrian street politics. The movie makes her death into some kind of parable about reason versus fundamentalism. It does this by distorting history. The death of Hypatia was about politics, not learning or reason. Her death did not usher in a decline in learning and an age of Christian ignorance - Alexandria continued to be a centre of learning and the home of renowned pagan and Christian scholars such as Aedisia, Hierocles, Asclepius of Tralles, Olympiodorus the Younger, Ammonius Hermiae and Hermias. Her death also did not presage the fall of Rome and the "Dark Ages". She lived in the Eastern Roman Empire. It was the Western Roman Empire that fell and that had nothing to do with street politics in far off Alexandria sixty years earlier. The Eastern Empire continued for another 1000 years after her death. As with any movie, handle the history presented in this one with great care and check it against the sources. Amenábar's movie tries to be a parable about fundamentalism but he presents a highly distorted picture of events in Hypatia's time to achieve this.

Confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved..Be baptized and repent of your sins. Repent simply means to turn away from your sins. God loves you and so do I.

This is incorrect. Christianity did not grow out of Judaism /Jewish empire. The bible is one complete book. The only difference between the old and new testament is that we no longer practice the levitical ceremonies. The Christians are the Jews / Israelites of the bible. Christ has come and paid the penalty for our sins. The waited Messiah, Jesus Christ came and paid for our sins. As our people were waiting for Him to come and had faith in him coming. We have fail that he has come. We are all the seed of Abraham. Romans 2:29 New King James Version 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose [a]praise is not from men but from God.
Yeah but historically it was a Jewish sect. We share the same Bible, the old testament is the same as the Jewish Bible. We cannot pretend Jesus wasn't Jewish and the idea of messiah came from there. Even Matthew has his Lineage.

@@lowercaseguy3578 are you saying a Messiah is the same thing as God?
What is the definition of Messiah?
@@ibn3050 the question answers your question .
@@lowercaseguy3578 im not understanding...
@@ibn3050 being God is to be divine, both father , son , holy ghost are divine and equal at same time , but they have hierarchy of respect to each other , which means that the son cannot be greater than the father but the son was never born else he won't be divine .
hence the son is equal in all power and authority but the son lays it down to obey his father because his father is greater than him .
It was father's love that brought forth this creation and that love was for his son upon whom all things were created for the son .
When Christ came and died , he wanted to bring us to that same level of love and intimacy he shared with the father so that we will not be slaves but be adopted and become heirs to his kingdom , all who believes in him share the same level of authority and divine attributes and are equal to the son but we will never be greater than the son because we lay it down for the son as he does in same manner towards his father .
For those confused, just act like Jesus the best you can, you'll do alright.

Could anyone tell me what's the name of the software this guy is using?
What doesn't make sense is why Christians were persecuted so much and Jews weren't.
The Gospel would've mentioned things like: "Turn the other cheek" and "Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's...." etc..... Jesus's gospel was about love and not being attached to worldly things. Whereas The Jewish perpective was far more antagonistic towards Rome and its pagan tradition. Jews were forbidden by their religion to worship idols or other Gods and had a lot of "bad blood" with Rome b'cos of the war in Judea.
They Infused Yeshua and than Used Julius Caesar .. that’s why there are similarities in the story

Supposedly... Supposedly... Constantine saw the sign of the Cross ✝️ and the words above it, "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" meaning, "With this sign you will conquer." Yet he had all his soldiers' shields painted with the Labanum, i.e., the Chi-Rho asterisk instead. And this six-legged asterisk was applied to or engraved in all Roman epigraphy since.
So what gives?

North Africa in that time was the Roman Empire.

Wow I always thought it was funny that the emperor did a lot of stuff on his death bed. And folks will say that the interpretations and translations were corrupted with pagan Ideas. Made to accommodate what people prayed to before with saints. But I think that if you actually read the Bible . And specifically what Jesus said. It’s wild! To do what Jesus did and act like Him is seen as impossible. To have faith like Him , would be seen as crazy today. To love your neighbor as you love yourself. And to love God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul. These ideas at the time were nearly the opposite of what was going on around everyone at the time. Roman law to most I assume like me would think it is barbaric but I know that some will think it was the golden age. But I also think that Roman law, was better then what was going on around it at the time too.
The Christian religion has crazy ideas such as sacrificing yourself for your friends. And that the Lord will provide for you. A belief that the greatest God of all and creator of all is able to perform miracles for you serve His will for the greater good. A belief that serving God is in one’s own best interest. You could even believe that He is able and could make your offspring as numerous as the stars and you would seen as just or righteous believing so.

So that is why Constantine replaced the Anchor and dolphin which stood for Christianity?

According to the most reliable historian ( Eusebius of Nicodemia ) The entire council of Nicea 325AD which was pivitol in the establishment of the orthodox church was influenced & controlled by the Emperor Constantine. He conveined it, He chose the location, his personal summer palace!,he presided and even made the final decision to view 'Homousious' ( of the same substance') as meaning that 'Christ is God'. He then issued an edict which proscribed 'anyone not accepting the conclusons and being in possession of any writings contrary to the council will have his goods confiscated, be thrown into prison & be exected'. He thereafter organised his various 'diocease' ( roman provinces0 to be controlled by individual bishops all answerable to the state. Thus complete control! Can you imagine King Herod doing the same with Jesus & his apostles? A compromise with very bad results!

Agora is a cool film.
The portrayal of women as teachers is more or less accurate. Hypatia was not the first female philosopher in the Hellenistic world. Nor was she the last - a generation later Aedisia was another famous pagan Neo-Platonist teacher who worked in Alexandria.
Much of the film's depiction of pagans Christians and Jews has some historical basis, as Alexandria had long been a city of often violent clashes between factions and religious groups. The movie makes some changes to the history which seem aimed at making the Christians led by Bishop Cyril to be the villains of the story. The film invents an attack on the Jews by Cyril's faction that provokes a Jewish response. Historically, it actually was the Jews that struck first.
The movie makes many other changes to the history to present something of a polemical agenda.
In summary:
The movie's first half centres on "the Great Library of Alexandria" and depicts Hypatia teaching there. In fact, the Great Library had long since ceased to exist. The movie seems to be trying to depict the "daughter library" in the Serapeum, but evidence shows that this temple was derelict by Hypatia's time and had long since ceased to house any library. The scenes of a Christian mob sacking a library are fiction and there is zero evidence Hypatia had any connection with the Serapeum in any way.
Hypatia is depicted as an innovative thinker making new discoveries. In fact, we have no evidence that she was anything like this, though she was a respected neo-Platonist and skilled mathematician. It is also strongly implied that she was an atheist. As she was a neo-Platonist, this is nonsense - her school of thought had a strong and rather mystical belief in "the One" which was remarkably close to Christian and Jewish monotheism. The scenes with her doing experiments on inertia and discovering heliocentrism are total fiction and both are highly unlikely given her philosophical background.
The movie depicts the dispute between the Prefect Orestes and the Bishop Cyril as being centred on Orestes support for Hypatia and the fact she is a learned woman. This is found nowhere in the sources. She was part of the feud only in that she was a known political supporter of Orestes. Her murder was not motivated by a hatred for her learning and was simply an act of political revenge for the death of one of Cyril's supporters. It was pure (and typical) Alexandrian street politics.
The movie makes her death into some kind of parable about reason versus fundamentalism. It does this by distorting history. The death of Hypatia was about politics, not learning or reason. Her death did not usher in a decline in learning and an age of Christian ignorance - Alexandria continued to be a centre of learning and the home of renowned pagan and Christian scholars such as Aedisia, Hierocles, Asclepius of Tralles, Olympiodorus the Younger, Ammonius Hermiae and Hermias. Her death also did not presage the fall of Rome and the "Dark Ages". She lived in the Eastern Roman Empire. It was the Western Roman Empire that fell and that had nothing to do with street politics in far off Alexandria sixty years earlier. The Eastern Empire continued for another 1000 years after her death.
As with any movie, handle the history presented in this one with great care and check it against the sources. Amenábar's movie tries to be a parable about fundamentalism but he presents a highly distorted picture of events in Hypatia's time to achieve this.

Louie you better do your own research. This video is misleading.
Catholicism means universal. which means is a combination of religions. It is a cult formed because the romans had to many different religions.
Interesting
Ywasel denon la Romans not like Jews
Confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved..Be baptized and repent of your sins. Repent simply means to turn away from your sins. God loves you and so do I.
Jesus is Lord to everybody else, except Jesus. Jesus prays to the father.
Then what?
God is alive! The Christian faith is the real thing. If it wasn't there is zero chance it would have survived and thrived.
The Romans invented Jesus they found an innocent family and told them that Jesus was the son of God and became true with the difference that Jesus is not the son of God but God himself because that’s who he came to be Jesus is not my God he is my brother
😂😂 Nice joke
so Jesus Worshiping himself ? or....

This is incorrect. Christianity did not grow out of Judaism /Jewish empire. The bible is one complete book. The only difference between the old and new testament is that we no longer practice the levitical ceremonies. The Christians are the Jews / Israelites of the bible. Christ has come and paid the penalty for our sins. The waited Messiah, Jesus Christ came and paid for our sins. As our people were waiting for Him to come and had faith in him coming. We have fail that he has come. We are all the seed of Abraham.
Romans 2:29
New King James Version
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose [a]praise is not from men but from God.
Yeah but historically it was a Jewish sect. We share the same Bible, the old testament is the same as the Jewish Bible. We cannot pretend Jesus wasn't Jewish and the idea of messiah came from there. Even Matthew has his Lineage.
