It's interesting many atheists out there claim Christians are worshipping an allegedly imaginary entity right while they are imagining things they WISH the bible said, but actually do not say to fit their relentless desire to undermine God's word.
Many atheists, whether they want to admit it publicly or not (or even privately), have at one time belonged to a Christian family and now having turned away from Christ, must find a way, every day, to convince themselves that the choice they made was the correct one. Therefore anything and everything must be scorned, they start from a viewpoint everything in the Bible is false, no God exists and it's up to believers to prove them wrong. The only problem is, they don't want to be proven wrong - so no evidence will satisfy them. None. Absolutely none. They just float about this life pretending to themselves that "God" can be put in the same bracket as "Harry Potter" or the "Yeti". However the same atheist will talk about God for a huge chunk of their lives and they will hardly ever talk about the Yeti or Harry Potter. Proof right there that even when they try to make these things all the same, their own actions tell us they treat God very, very differently - despite trying to convince everyone else (and themselves) otherwise. Unfortunately for them they have fallen for false gospels of Hitchens or Dawkins and instead believe in the false god of science (as though science defeats God - it does not - science is the method used to discover the material world, but it cannot discover everything). So when an atheist says he/she believes in science, try not to laugh. Pray for atheists.
Peter Very true. It all boils down to where their hearts are at. Dawkins once stated that he wouldn’t even believe in Jesus if he saw him. Pride always gets in the way...
@@jesuscanplayguitar1214~ Well, Dawkins did not say that exactly. We must not pretend or add wrong information where it never existed. We have our 5 senses, and life shows we must question what construction we place on our experiences.
Adam Mangler And just a tip, telling someone else not to do something, like “we must not pretend...”, contradicts the entire subjective morality theory. I’m assuming you’re an atheist or agnostic, that’s the only reason I said that.
That Dallas/Fort Worth analogy is great. I've never been there, don't even live near there (I'm up in Canada) , but even I've heard them referred to in this way.
Exactly, Dallas is always mentioned first maybe because is a bigger city. However you see "Dallas-Fort Worth" printed everywhere. Even if you come from West to East you say "I passed Dallas-Fort Worth, even though you passed FIRST Fort Worth and THEN Dallas. The same can happen with Bethany-Bethphage. Another example is Bosnia-Herzegovina the name of a European country. If I said I came from South to North to pass Bosnia-Herzegovina some people may understand that FIRST I passed Bosnia and THEN Herzegovina, however I said the name of the country even though Herzegovina is South and Bosnia is North.
Amazing how all these people who say there are contradictions don't really study the Bible so they don't really know if they're contradictions or not. Lol It's usually the Muslims that come up with these things so we know they don't really study the bible. They just go by what their imam tells them.
Wow, I can’t believe people actually think this is a reasonable objection. Nothing in the sentence implies the order of the cities. It is like if I said I went to visit my aunt and uncle, but I saw my uncle first. I didn’t say anything about the order. Wow!
Alex, do you believe that the Book Of Esther is historically accurate? We Jews are now celebrating Purim, the holiday for it's memorial, and i'm intrested in your thoughts of it. Happy Purim!

I agree with you. It is not a contradictory. People uses verses to create a concoction (there own recipe) or a cheap excuse. I can go on and on but point is, your right. It isn't a contradiction.

Great Video IP! Would you consider doing a critique of Richard Carrier sometime? I know he's a hack, and you prefer to critique real academics. But, he has a large internet fandom, and there's frankly not a lot out there answering him.
Hey IP-I'm wondering if you can do videos on these two topics: (1) How to reconcile evolution and the presence of Adam in the genealogies? After humans had sufficiently evolved, did God just zap souls into two random humans and they became Adam and Eve? If not, how do you think it happened? (2) What to do if you're a Christian who's never felt the Holy Spirit or any sort of thing that you just "can't explain away"? In other words, you believe in Jesus and trust Him as your Savior, but it still feels like your faith is built upon self-apologetics, without any sort of real relationship with Jesus? Thank you so much!!! Your channel is a true blessing! Keep it up!!
Actually, the fact that Mark knows that Bethany, Bethfage and the Mount of Olives were located in the same general area proves that he is very well acquainted with the geography of palestine during the 1st century.
Speaking of errors, I was watching this video about Jesus casting the demons into the herd of pigs, and someone in the comment section said that they found it unlikely that there would be that many pigs in the time and place mentioned in the Bible. So they believe that the story was fake meant to glorify Jesus more; what are your thoughts?
#Never no one can readings heart of someone and nobody can not readings brain of someone closer to his/her because if its fixing who is your creator and God " who is in control, God with righteousness or something you having for fighting righteousness "
You say to use common sense, here. Yet, in a recent video, you say the Bible can't be taken at all literally, because, "The Bible says Man and Wife will be one flesh... and yet Christians aren't lining up for operations, to be sewn to their wives, are they!?!?" All as a justification for a false Gospel, where you say Eve isn't the mother of all life, Adam wasn't the first man, and God can't create a human out of dirt... yet a bunch of mindless germs can, somehow.
Why should I care what a 2000 year old book says? Are books that make equally compelling claims now, not more relevant? I don't see why one should make the bible (an ancient writing) the center of their authority. Yes... It's the moral and cultural effect of it's contents, not the Social relevance of the book alone as the reason. I understand this. But are there not writings that do the same job? Why don't people make those spiritual writings their authority? Don't get me wrong though. I do love Christianity's version of God, and what it does. Especially it's psychological significance in many lives.
@@cmk5724 It is. A lot of it is very venerable. It's progressive tone for that era is definitely interesting. It shaped many of our values today. @TheisticLogos True. But the problem is that writings then, have way less value because of environmental reasons. Much of human society has since progressed from many old ways and superstitions it once adhered to. If I had to choose between a book that was written by peasants that lived in a barbaric society where most people were illiterate and had a low I.Q, or a time in human civilization where most people have decent education, & literacy is at a high. I'd trust the latter.
@@Adeptus_Mechanicus You should look at websites like ChristianThinkTank.com and Tektonics.org for arguments as to why you ought to believe the Bible, despite the apparent superstition, and why a lot of those things that seem like superstitions are not, in fact.
IP can't wait for your series on OT archeology!
The first video will be out in May.
I know I’m not the only one who instinctively pushed the notification once I saw IP’s name on it.
That was me literally 3 minutes ago. 🙌🏾🙌🏾😁😁
I can't believe you even had to make a video for this
A lot Stupid ppl out there.
Lol
Michael is the C.S. Lewis of 21st century. God bless you buddy!
Thanks, honored!
Imagine being so nitpicky as to raise this objection though.
Some guy
Yeah that’s basically most atheists... I guess they just have the need
And then actually publish it in a book...
Right😂

IP, your vids clearly demonstrate that Christianity is logical, rational & true 😊 God bless you!
People are nitpicky because they want to find anything they can to disprove the Bible. Futile attempt at best.
There's no way they're THAT desperate to deny Jesus.

Good video. I like how you're doing this as a series. That's pretty cool. It's good to see the bible proven true.
The bible is the inspired word of God.
When is the old testament series coming?
It begins in April. I have one more video to do before I begin that.
@@InspiringPhilosophy Okay cool! Looking forward to it!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the flat earth interpretations of scripture.

I have never heard a skeptic raising that error, but there is a ton of historical errors in the Bible. Especially in book of Daniel.

Yeah if you choose to interpret things conveniently so that it ends up that way.
Stay tuned IP will get to them eventually

Yeah, I plan to go through his book and respond appropriately after I finished the alleged pagan parallels.
@@InspiringPhilosophy Great! I'll look forward to that!
So one video per week from now on, since you are now able to do full time video making?
BTW, I am really looking forward for your apologetic video 😎😎
That’s it? That’s the only problem they got? That’s the worst criticism they can come up with? For heavens sake, find a real problem.

I'll look into it, but it was a Gentile region.
It’s okay to be Christian
It is nitpicking but its not entirely clear or accurate for being infallible word of god.

Because the book is true.
So if I right a book of knowledge and facts and theories and highly moral stuff, it won’t matter in 2,000 years because it will be ancient to them?
