So Jesus says he is the only way and only believing and following him brings you salvation? Then why is he only appearing to a very small amount of people, 295k years after we humans evolved in evolution. He acted in a small area while all the Earth was already full of humans. Billions and billions of people never even had the chance to know him. And after he died, this religion spread mainly over brutal military power in North Europe, in America , in parts of Asia and in Australia. Till today 2/3 of humans do not follow that religion, not because they are bad, but because they are socialized in other religions and convictions. A very bad strategy of a guy that offers the ONLY way and also a very unsuccessful way. Doesnt sound like the strategy of a god that created all universe and billions of galaxies with billions of solar systems in it. It sounds rather like a man-made invented local religion that made it to spread and needs several justifications.
Jesus is STILL doing miracles today. You just gotta go to where they are happening. Small spirit filled churches. Theres a few where i live. You can see people getting miraculously healed every week or two! Im sure your town must have at least one good church. Gotta go find it. Dont expect for miracles to just show up at your unbelieving home. Go seek and you shall find.
People witnessed Jesus perform miracles, and they still rejected Him. People will still reject Christ when he comes in the clouds at the rapture. People who don't believe do so because they don't want to believe. Not because there isn't adequate evidence.
You know for a being that is capable of all things you guys sure do make a lot of excuses for him...What's so hard about convincing ppl you exist since that's literally what atheist are asking for in order to at the very least believe that?
@trevonw67 Because God's justice attribute demands that he give Satan a chance to argue his case. Satan impuned the character of God after God condemned him and the fallen angels to the lake of fire. Satan is trying to establish a utopia on Earth apart from God. Satan is trying all sorts of contrary theories apart from God's plan. These theories (like communism as an example) aren't working. He isn't able to live up to his desire to be like the most high. God has had different rules in different dispensations, but ultimately, God is proving that His way is superior to Satan's way, and he does so in fairness to Satan. If God appeared before everyone in existence, there would be no way for Satan to mislead people into following his path. It wouldn't be fair. God provides plenty of evidence throughout creation pointing to His existence. If you don't believe, it isn't for lack of evidence.
Millions of Jewish people during the Holocaust were in the need of prayer during their days and it led to nothing for over 6 million of them. Are you aware that those who perished would have amongst them, prayed billions of times for god to save them?

@user-hr8dx9qw4n Jesus said he came for the jews, exclusively the jews, and only the jews, for their Salvation. That's why. He says that very clearly. He comes to redeem them as an aspect of Yah's mercy towards them, and only them, because Yah is their allotted Lord. That's what the Bible says. Hopefully that answers your questions. Jesus said he came to bring the sword, he's described as having a flaming sword. He slays 2/3 of the world population in Revelation. Not sure if your criticism is aimed at the Biblical Jesus, or Evangelicals.
@@dirkjensen969 So Jesus , the creator of billions of galaxies comes on Earth "exclusively for the Jews" while all Earth is already full of people and different religions and after billions of humans already lived and died on Earth and whispers to a few humans HE is the onlt way to salvation?? How is that a good god? As I said before: 2/3 of human population is not following Jesus , not because they are evil , but becuase they are socialized in other religions and dont want to betray their gods and culture for a Jesus, that didnt even reveal himself to ALL humans. My critic is aimed at Jesus as a claimed god (not at a human preacher) for previous reasons and at the Evangelicals for their claims.
One of the reasons the Lord doesn't reveal Himself to us right now is due to our sin nature. God can't be in the presence of sin, He is too Holy and perfect! Jesus did come onto earth to become flesh and pay the penalty for those sins. Without his payment, you can not be in the presence of the Lord! Denial of Jesus will place you away from God. It is always man's freedom of choice to accept the gift of salvation through Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life to the Father! There is no other way. God does not reveal Himself to everyone due to man's choice to reject Jesus. Without Jesus, you shall not be with God.
Jesus is already here and in spirit. The problem is a matter of Faith. Like Abraham said to the rich man. "They have the words of Moses and the prophets, if they won't listen to them, they won't believe even if someone returned from the dead."
@@goranmilic442 there is evidence for the existence of Jesus biblical and non biblical documents and people still don't believe he existed or is God in the flesh.
"Why doesn't God just show Himself" (Cliffe provides his explanation) "That's assuming there is a god" Og guy's scenario WAS based upon the presupposition that there is a God
@@Remixors Because the scenario wasn't meant to prove if there was a God or not, just why God doesn't just show Himself and all of that. Like I said, the original scenario that the guy presented already came with the presupposition there IS a god, meaning the scenario doesn't need to involve proving God exists.
@@Remixors Exactly, the truth is that there is zero evidence for any supernatural claim in the bible and the quran. In the same way you can pray to Odin.
We all know the truth…if he did come down and reveal himself, you’d still have a chunk of people be like “nah, I don’t believe it, there’s no proof…” 😂🤦🏼♂️
Nonsense.... if god would speak to everyone by appearing out of thin air in their living room and have a nice friendly chat, everyone would believe his existence
@@thanosmak8575 I’m implying that science has proven things written in the Bible and people like you will still argue. I’m claiming universal laws are debated because people like you feel a need to be snarky, rather than simply accepting there are things we won’t know until the end. Both your responses prove my point, and you’d see it too if you weren’t biased. Hubris is the biggest barrier to knowledge.
Yah literally provides miracles on demand to nonbelievers and gentiles in the Bible as proof of His existence. Example: Pharoah, The Priests of Ba'al, Centurions, etc. The list goes on.
There’s a reason the Bible says that the path is narrow. That was one of the hardest lessons. I had to learn as a Christian. Some people just aren’t going to be saved. Plant the seed speak the truth boldly but not everybody’s gonna like the truth, but you speak it anyway you plant that seed and you pray and it’s up to God. We don’t save people, we speak his truth boldly and plant that seed it’s up to the spirit to convict them and we have to learn to be OK with that and realize that some people just are not ever going to respond or may not do it when we’re around plant that seed anyway, and leave it up to God.
There won’t be any more signs, whoever believes in him , without seeing,would have eternal life, read the gospels,change before it’s too late, praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!!
Even if I wanted to see Jesus, I know I cannot handle His Holiness. But God show himself to me in many ways. He manifested His love in many ways. Even Jesus gather disciple to share Gods good news. Even then, there are lots of people that witness Jesus but still not believing that He is God.
Lol He is here with us today , He is the Holy spirit !!!!!!! Still does Miracles , Still heals the sick, raise the dead, You have to believe in him to see it.
I would answer his question with another question. "Let's say He does come down, appears to you and ask you to follow Him. Would you do it knowing full well this is actually God?" And before he answers, follow up with "And would this be enough to not only follow Him, but do everything He commands? Those who know the bible already know that these are rhetorical questions. For those who don't, the interaction with God and Adam as well as the later on manipulation of Adam with satan. Not to mention the parable of the rich man and Lazarus by Jesus with Abraham insisting to rich man that even if someone was raised from the dead, the rich man's brothers would not trust in the LORD.
@@trevonw67 Look, I'm not going to sugar coat this like the rest of these wanna-be, lukewarm, "anything goes" Christians. I'm also not going to pull some hypothetical evidence out of my bum to try and convince you that anyone or anything in the bible existed/really happened. I fully understand that the bible has been translated and transliterated thousands of times, this is why I asked those questions specifically apart from the bible. Their designed to make you think and deal with one reality out of an infinite lot of them. When the mind is confronted with an objection reality that it finds unsuitable to it's own narrative, it tends to immediately reject it out of safety for it's own well being, especially a traumatized one. And everyone has trauma in some way, shape or form, including me. Just like fire, if you get too close, you'll get burn. Same goes for the being described in the bible and He knows it.
@@trevonw67 God isn't begging for your belief. Jesus rose from the dead, people saw him and yet didn't believe in him. You know, you aren't in the position of demanding anything from God.
@@zeraorasincero5551 cap. If he wasn't begging for it then he wouldn't have created me to love and worship him or else he'd send me to eternal damnation OR blatantly proclaim to be so jealous and insecure that if you even think of any other potential god he would deem you as worthy of Hell 😮💨
I am in need of prayer if someone can write it out or pray for me that would be really like really appreciated I always notice myself messing up with family and stuff and recurring sins I also want to pray for my family brother sisters and parents who don't believe in Christ or are lukewarm I care for them and I want to meet them in heaven one day if I ever make it.
This is my prayer. "Father in heaven, I pray that you would help Josh90910, Lord, with his struggles. I pray that you would bolden him in your word and your truth, that he may grow in faith, holiness, a love for you, and confidence in the righteousness that you so graciously offer, through faith and not ourselves. I also pray Lord, that you help his family, his brothers, sisters, and parents who don't strongly follow after you. I ask Lord that you would give them an understanding of the gospel, and their sins, that they may find the savior, Lord. Please draw them to yourself, and glorify your name in these things Lord. It is in Jesus Christs' name that I pray, Lord. Amen."
I've pondered this myself. It's a strawman argument, really. Imagine if Jesus descended right now and said, "Record this and upload it to CZcams so I can clarify everything." What would the comments section look like? If Jesus displayed his crucifixion wounds, performed miracles, and it was all captured on video with a message for those who doubt, I can envision comments like, "LOL, this guy thinks he's Jesus," or "Wow, CGI gets more realistic every year," or "Impressive special effects, they almost had me convinced." The real debate isn't about "Why can't Jesus show himself?" but rather about accountability. If Jesus exists and we are sinners, we must confront the prospect of judgment for our sins. Many don't see themselves as bad people or take offense at being labeled sinners, perhaps because deep down, they recognize that they are sinners and that is the truth, but they refuse to accept it. So, even if Jesus were to make a video appearance today, someone will always try to justify in their minds that perhaps the video is probably a fake.
He could appear to anyone who wants to talk to him. Don't try to weasel out of it. The fact that he is no making any appearances is a very good indication that he doesn't exist.
// "accountability" // Lol hilarious 🤣 😂 What does "justice" actually mean to you my friend ? 🤔 You see for me justice is all about fairness, responsibility, equality, *"accountability"* and consequences all of which can be negated under Christian soteriology by one's acceptance or rejection of extraordinary supernatural claims and a willingness to pass the buck. One is judged not upon their actions in life but rather their membership of the "belief club" *John 5 24* _“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and _*_"BELIEVES"_*_ in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and _*_SHALL NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT,_*_ but has passed from death into life"_ Our societal conception of "justice" in in direct conflict with the *unequal punishment* based on the accused "beliefs" ( something they have no more control over than the colour of their skin at birth ) prescribed by Christian theology. Moral properties such as responsibility are supervenient on actions and attributes of moral agents, and cannot be transferred between them. As such vicarious redemption ( scapegoating ) could never and should never be regarded as either logical or moral. The idea of sin, morality, *"accountability"* however you define it, being a tradeable commodity is at odds with how I define morality. Particularly when it involves the suffering of an innocent. I am responsible for my good and bad actions, people can't 'take' my bad deeds any more than they can my good nor should they.
How telling that if Christian soteriology is correct the most important factor that differentiates those deserving eternal paradise and those deserving eternal torment is the geographical location one is born into. If one is born in Saudi Arabia there is about a 95% chance that you will belive in the "wrong" God and reject jesus and thus receive eternal damnation in a lake of fire. However be born into America and magically there is about a 95% chance that you will believe in the "right" God and thus receive eternal salvation. 👏👏 Allegedly this is the justice of a perfect omnibenevolent omnipotent omniscient loving God. The fact that many people who reject jesus often lead devout pious lives and follow very strict and demanding religious practices with regards to worship, diet, clothing and relationships is not a factor, these people seemingly reject jesus because they *"want to sin"* 🤔🤫 Some live lives of isolation and quiet contemplation taking vows of celibacy and silence but the loving jesus still deems these people unworthy of anything other than eternal torment. Conversely however a murderer so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed he can spend an eternity in paradise with those he murdered. Unless of course those people also found the "evidence" for your God unconvincing, in which case the murderer would be looking down from paradise on the people he killed as they too suffered for eternity with me 😡
@@missplainjane3905 I asked right now. Nothing happened. How about you, if you ask him, does he appear in your living room, and you have an actual conversation?
‘Those who believe without seeing me will be truly blessed’ Why should Jesus Christ of Nazareth come down to prove his existence to people who talk and say bad things about him daily. And he still loves those people just as much as people that do believe. He came down once before to pay for the penalty of our sins and that is enough. I want to see our lord and saviour in the flesh but I know that if I don’t I will one day either way just my job to do Gods will and trust his plan for my life. All praise to the king of kings, Lord of Lords, our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ
Because the next time he comes, he’s gonna see with his eyes but it will be too late. Even if he comes and is seen again, some will still not believe after he leaves. Blessed are those who do not see but still believe.
If you're that unbelieving, what's to say you would recognize him if he did come in bodily form? Many did not believe him though they saw him do miracles! Some people will always have an excuse not to believe!
@@MarySmith-ry9cu I'd recognise him for sure if he does what they say he's capable of, like making the blind see, turning water into wine, heal the sick just to name a few.
If God came down and revealed Himself in His divinity and performed all types of miracles, would we need faith? And then also, would you follow Him because you wanted to or because you would be terrified? And then what do we subject God to if we only choose to follow and serve Him out of fear?
@@BlxckByrd1 isn't the very reason you follow him because you're terrified of ending up in hell? Religion itself is built on fear, exactly the reason why each and every religion has "unbelievers will be damned forever" as one of its main teachings.
@@McrChemical The very reason I follow Jesus is because He was a man who lived believing that He was sent here to save humanity. He preached a message of love, and religious people killed Him for it. He was a man who split time in two with His words. That’s someone I want to follow. Me personally, brother I’m not terrified of going to hell because He told me how not to: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength & love one another. The question I then ask myself is “what is the potential for me to love God and others to the best of my ability today and can I love better than that tomorrow?” Sorry for the delay and long response! My question to you now brother, what makes religion, Christianity specifically, built on fear?
Except if you don't follow him, he is going to punish you forever... It's like having a mugger saying "i told him, his money or his life, and he gave his money out of his own free will"
@@thanosmak8575 Your example is a lose - lose but with god, if you turn to him your life will become better and there’s a chance you can go to heaven, so why would you not want to turn to him?Basically all humans sin, so from what I understand we’re kinda predetermined to go to hell that is until Jesus came But god loves us and he wants to save us, so all he asks is that we love him as he loves us. See god doesn’t send us to hell, we send ourselves. Only when given his grace can you be saved from your own actions. It’s like in your example except you are the one who stole the money and god is the judge in court. He loves you but he still needs to judge you fairly according to your sins and actions. Oh but wait, Jesus already came and took the jail time for your theft, so now you have the opportunity to get into heaven. You get what I mean? He’s not punishing you, you are punishing yourself. He sent down Jesus so we can go to heaven with god and only by faith in Jesus can we go not by doing good works or by anything else only by faith.
@@DOGG008 God could have just as easily let us not suffer in the afterlife. The whole deal with hell is his creation and his idea. Even in the bible it's explicitly stated as a place where god punishes the wicked 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 John 3:36 Matthew 25:41-46 So no, god deliberately sends those who don't believe in him to suffer eternally. There is a definite element of coercion
So Jesus says he is the only way and only believing and following him brings you salvation? Then why is he only appearing to a very small amount of people, 295k years after we humans evolved in evolution. He acted in a small area while all the Earth was already full of humans. Billions and billions of people never even had the chance to know him. And after he died, this religion spread mainly over brutal military power in North Europe, in America , in parts of Asia and in Australia. Till today 2/3 of humans do not follow that religion, not because they are bad, but because they are socialized in other religions and convictions. A very bad strategy of a guy that offers the ONLY way and also a very unsuccessful way. Doesnt sound like the strategy of a god that created all universe and billions of galaxies with billions of solar systems in it. It sounds rather like a man-made invented local religion that made it to spread and needs several justifications.
sounds more like God values something called "free will" and only gives himself to those who really want it. And if you mentioned that it is man-made: there is no way that something like the Catholic Church and other churches would have survived even over a hundred years with the history and persecution it has had if God had not watched over it. You're watching a miracle and you probably know it
@@user-hr8dx9qw4n What the chatolic church did wasn't God's will. And the bible says God reveals himself in his creation. Before Jesus, people were saved by giving him the glory he deserves from creation. But the humans, as you can tell, prefered to give his glory to statues and false gods. You could easily understand all these questions of yours if you actually tried to read the bible. About people not being bad, you can give someone all the evidence in the world, and it's certain that among the religions, Christianity is the only one that can prove itself, but nooo, it's not arrogance or something like that. I can tell you that the universe can't create itself from nothing and it needs to have a cause, and yet most "scientists" would prefer to believe tha such a perfect Universe, solar system and planet are just a coincidence.
@@user-hr8dx9qw4n So, first: You can't believe in God and "Billions years old animals" at the same time; If you are proposing yourself to believe in God, you have to accept the terms first. So, I'm not sure if you are talking about the chatolic church or the Hebrews killing caananites, please tell me. About the universe and the creation as a whole, as you said above, things are affected by the sin in some way. But hey, God didn't plan any other life form in the universe, only us. But if you think it's a coincidence that the earth and all of it's nature that are perfect for us humans to live, the distance between the planets and the Sun, the roles that the other planets do to protect the earth, the role of the moon, the perfect inclination of the earth creating the perfect seasons through the year, the perfect rotation of the earth, the magnetic field, etc. Are a coincidence rather believing all this was calculated, you aren't working with what is more probable no more. "There's two ways of living. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle" And "there is no evidence of any supernatural thing" well, we have all the ocular witnesses that saw Jesus after he rose from the dead: The gospels, wich are reliable historical documents. Well, there's two facts that you have to believe, believing in the gospels or not: Jesus was crucificated, and his body wasn't in his tomb. Thank you! I must admit that i don't know much about deism, what does it defend?
The Christian was brave to have an answer for his faith but honestly in this scenario, I wouldn’t waste time with cynics like those young men. It’s throwing pearls before swine. They already made up their mind not to believe so no matter what you say they’re not buying it. They’ll just mock and laugh and waste your time. You’re better off reaching out to people who genuinely are seeking answers.
@@jhedjoardumago7691 right, cause it's so much easier to say "god made it" rather than provide a detailed explanation as to how and why. Just like when somebody asks you a question that you don't know the answer, just say "god it made so".
He has for 2,000 years in visions, dreams and revelations. He is only a spirit and can reveal himself in those ways. That's why the Lord of the Second Advent has to be born on the Earth, so he can bring physical salvation which Jesus did not have time to do.
"they don't happen on command".... YES they should. If someone is worshipping Jesus or Allah and they don't perform miracles then they should be sacked
@@thanosmak8575I think it’s more of an ego issue on the human part. We’re basically telling God “No you can’t do it the way You know is best, you have to do it our way to believe in you” Also btw, God does reveal himself to people and He still heals people today. You just disregard it, the Bible also says that creation and morality is proof of Gods existence.
Since when is it ego for someone to require proof before he believes in something? Should we believe whatever we are told? Also believe in Allah, and Buddha and Zeus for the same reason? All these gods also have people who claim that god spoke to them or healed them. Please face it, there is 0 reason for god not to appear to us based on the precepts that he wants us to be saved. If the reason he doesn't do it is because "we humans can't dictate what we consider adequate proof" then this means that god doesn't satisfy our proof standards because of his ego, it's that simple. Also really? creation and morality is proof of god's existence? how so?
@@thanosmak8575 The human need for proof changes. We can ask God to show us a sign and if He does we might just disregard it and demand another sign from Him. That’s how humans are. The best arguments for God are going to consist of objective morality and an appeal to the first law of thermodynamics which states no matter can be created or destroyed; which means a universe can’t just pop into existence just cause. If you want a more complex explanation I would go watch debates between Jeff Durbin and other atheists. Also I believe Christianity is the most logical religion, I can see clear cut issues with the other religions that don’t see with Christianity. Although it could be that I just don’t look for the faults for Christianity as much as for other religions. Anyways, have a good day!
@@alphanomega12 That's a total cop-out. No sane human argues that the sun doesn't exist, and the reason is that everyone can see the sun. The same could be for god. An obvious god would be believed by almost anyone, and as i explained, since we can be saved only through god, it's in his best interest to show us his existence in an indisputable manner.
Now the two arguments you mentioned only work if you absolutely refuse to consider the myriads of alternate possibilites. You mention the first law of thermodynamics. True matter cannot be destroyed or created, but what makes you certain that the universe was created, and didn't exist forever? If you are willing to accept god as eternal, why can't the universe be as well? More importantly, do you happen to know all the possible physics at play? do you know what happens under singularity conditions? No, you don't, so you can't place god as the only other possible explanation. We just don't know enough yet. The whole thing with objective morality christians like to talk about is also a complete house of cards. For starters even within christianity, morality has changed. Everyone considers the mosaic law to be a horrible abomination , but according to religion, it WAS from god.... who later changed his mind... so much for "objective" morality. Morality is much better explained as a social construct, an agreement between members of a tribe to further help it's survival. After generations of reinforcement those agreements turned into ideologies. Lastly christianity being the most logical... in this day and age it is preposterous to be said. On every scientific field that the bible had made any mention, the bible failed (6 day creation, adam and eve, tower of babel, global flood etc) Is it logical then to believe it? At the very least other religions don't make their gods perfectly good. This is more aligned to how the world actually looks like
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing time and time again and expecting different results…” God showed his power to the Israelites, and they were so frightened they went to Moses and begged for prophets rather than hearing God speak. They then went to worship a golden calf. The prophets brought Gods word and they were ridiculed, ignored and, in some cases, put to horrible deaths. Jesus came to Earth and he was rejected despite his doings. Why doesn’t God just reveal himself? Because if history has shown us anything, people like this would *still* reject him.
You're talking about people from ancient times who didn't have a better understanding of the world. But if god reveals himself now and perform his miracles, I'd bet the whole world will bow down to him.
He can start by giving sight to the blind or turn water into wine. A feat he was more than capable of as the bible says. You really think a man or being who can do that wouldn't be taken seriously in today's age?
@@McrChemical technology may have moved on but people’s mentality hasn’t. I call it the pedestal effect, it doesn’t matter what you do people will always raise the pedestal one step higher. Richard Dawkins, for instance, during some group chat, said “people commonly ask me what it would take for me to believe in God and I used to think that if God appeared before me that’d be enough, but then I think it could just be a hallucination or (some other problem) and, now, I think that even if I came outside and the stars had realigned to read ‘there is a God’ I’d just think it could be aliens playing a joke…”
@@McrChemical it’s not an assumption it’s an observation based on the current ideals of society and the basis that people constantly want ‘more’. I’d believe if… And when that happens… Well, I’d believe if… And so on. Look at the rainbow society, for instance, nothing has or will be enough for them, ever. They have people who mock God on a daily basis ‘I identify as demon, my pronouns are demon and demonself’, ‘I identify as God…’ etc. etc. If there’s one thing society has taught me it’s that people _will_ , quite literally, cut their nose off to spite their face.
I don’t think he really wants Jesus to come to earth right now. Because once that happens, it is the end of the world. He won’t have the ability to choose Christ anymore. Choice will be removed.
Good Question, you have a real source. Quiet your mind, ask your questions one at a time, and wait until you have a response because Jesus is the creator of humankind, he answers, your questions, he created all life, your ears, mouth, eyes, mind, and God has a mouth that speaks, God is the life force of you and all people. Read Revelation 21, he is in you already to teach you and to have a relationship with you.
Cliff, it is written be careful who you entertain as it could be Angels. In fact Jesus can come to any person in any appearance, He could stand right next to you and you just think it is just an ordinary person, Of course he could even take a selfie, and months later, lift the picture or memory and have a discussion with you about it. When Jesus does touch someone, that person is shocked and for a long time.
The Lord reveals Himself to us in many ways. It isn't directly in front of your eyes the way you look at a tree and say "that is a tree". It is instead, as one example, written on every being which has the breath of life, praising His name YHWH. Take a deep breath in and then exhale, you are literally speaking the Lord's name with every breath. Further, in our DNA the bridge between strands of DNA occur at places 10, 5, 6, 5....which numerically represented in Hebrew is Yud Hey Vev Hey, or YHWH in our alphabet. My personal belief on why God doesn't just appear in front of our eyes to command belief, before His promise of return, is that it would contradict His design for free will. God gave man choice and it is in His plan, possibly to give the most amount of humanity the grace of time for repentance for our misdeeds, before ultimately passing judgement. We have choice for salvation. For those who have eyes, let him see. Praise Jesus, Lord and Savior, Amen.
So him showing himself impedes our free will Like how my comment impedes it 10,5,6,5 isn’t evidence either even if that is true. Attach any other letters to that and you could get the name of some other thing.
Think of how many people would be converted to Christianity if your God put in an appearance and proved beyond doubt that he existed. A trick he could perform to that end would be if he appeared on every television channel and computer screen throughout the world for one hour, regardless of whether the device was plugged into a power source or not, in fact everybody could turn their TV off and he would still be there explaining his policies and telling people all over the world how they should live their lives. Once the show was over nobody could complain that they had not been told and there would be no excuses for wavering, many people on CZcams claim to have visited Jesus and if they are to be taken at their word then there is no reason why God should not appear to everyone and put the story beyond doubt. Your God is supposed to be omnipotent and can do anything so this miracle surely could not be beyond him, if he really desires people to live by his beliefs and end up in Heaven he could do this and then there would be no reason for him to hand his creations (who he says he loves) over to Satan and the torture pit. And this brings up another question, If his subjects have been unfaithful to him and haven`t led pure and chaste lives why doesn’t he just kill them and then they could be in the same state as they were before they were born, why have them perpetually punished? Surely being burned and tortured forever is a little harsh when he professes to love them, that love seems very shallow. No doubt the purveyors of religion will find some words in the bible which preclude God from appearing to us or showing some understanding and mercy, maybe the invisible guy in the sky isn't really there and mankind has been deluding itself for Centuries. What a basic premise this so called God has been operating under, "Devote yourself to me or I'll throw you into the fire"
Exactly! So many ways for this so called perfect all knowing all powerful being to not only show but also convince us that he's the real deal🤷🏽♂️ but nope... everybody has an excuse for everyday of the week for this guy
Ikr, even showing footage of actual demon possessions and exorcisms the church conducted over the years and well documented would've sufficed. But alas they won't, as it can be narrowed down to a simple mental health issue. The church is being deliberately vague because they know the foundation of their faith will easily crumble under modern scrutiny.
So Jesus says he is the only way and only believing and following him brings you salvation? Then why is he only appearing to a very small amount of people, 295k years after we humans evolved in evolution. He acted in a small area while all the Earth was already full of humans. Billions and billions of people never even had the chance to know him. And after he died, this religion spread mainly over brutal military power in North Europe, in America , in parts of Asia and in Australia. Till today 2/3 of humans do not follow that religion, not because they are bad, but because they are socialized in other religions and convictions. A very bad strategy of a guy that offers the ONLY way and also a very unsuccessful way. Doesnt sound like the strategy of a god that created all universe and billions of galaxies with billions of solar systems in it. It sounds rather like a man-made invented local religion that made it to spread and needs several justifications.
God wants us to love hin, sure, an all knowing God would understand that to love something you have to know it exists, I can't love something that I don't think exists
What this lost soul fails to realize is simple, arrogance and pride we all suffer with. We don`t want too look stupid in front of others because of a simple "I don`t know" which is the best answer. God does not need us to speak for him or require us, we need god not the other way around. I have no idea why god made life and don`t care, I`m a atheist and don`t believe in gods. I do however like the idea of a creator and am open to believing in one and no I`m not a solapis. I do believe there is something after this life and I have personally witnessed mandela effects/paranormal/ that kind stuff for myself to say....yeah there is something not "normal" at work here. A deity of creation Is something I would worship and praise till the end of time, only if it was true and no on make believe faith based or a book telling me a-b-c of contradictions and eye witness accounts. There are billions of millions of people to ever live, the world has been manipulated and controlled and altered to fit as man chose to write history. "FACT!!!!". So to end this comment. So I said god does not require my Take, but he could click his fingers and force me to worship him.... I have knocked and I have not been answered yet. I have searched and asked with a un trident heart.....no hidden sin as god knows all.... and been ignored... thanks for reading a comment from a random guy :) on a journey of the human experience in a cold world.
Christ came down 2,000 years ago. And look what we did to him. You think it would change things if he did come here again? Even back then when he healed people and brought them back from the dead lots still sinned willingly and still didn’t believe in Christ. You think if he came down here we’d be any different in this era?
@@mattr.1887 Only to a select few. I’m saying if he came down on earth and did what he did back then there will still be people that will deny him despite seeing proof.
The hubris and arrogance of the wicked to assume a holy God owes them anything. The misguided sense of this person's own self-importance is embarrassing and out of place. God the Father gave His only perfect and sinless Son as an atonement for all who would accept Him as Lord and Saviour. The depths of God's grace is unfathomable in that act alone.
@@thanosmak8575 Even secular scholars agree that Jesus of Nazareth was real and was crucified just as the bible says. The Romans have documented it, first through Pontus Pilot and later via the Roman historian Tacitus. Even those who wanted to crucify him because he threatened the status quo thought he was a prophet and a holy man. Jesus' actions and words speak for themselves. Other faiths and cultures also recognise the same Jesus. But I have been given proofs of my own eyes and ears, experienced miracles that have saved my life on countless occasions. Proofs that if you had experienced them for yourself you would be convinced that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Yet, I believed BEFORE I experienced these signs and wonders. God is holy and does not perform on command to please a sceptic. Rather, He is gracious to those who are faithful.
@@Locutus.Borg. The position in question is not if Jesus existed or not. No one thinks it is impossible that there was a preacher in judea who angered the local clergy and was therefore crucified. What is put into question is claims of him being divine. In order to believe this you should have a much higher standard of proof. Tacitus for example speaks of the cult of christiniaty and Nero's actions against it in 116AD... We all agree that christians existed. Does this prove that god exists? Of course not! Pontius Pilate's writings are a much later fabrication too. In reality we have nothing directly from him. Now as for the proof you have seen with your own eyes... i'm really curious what it is about And why does he not perform on command to please a sceptic? Is he too proud to do so? i thought pride was a sin. According to christian doctrine, god loves everyone and wants them to be saved. If the only way to be saved is through him, it makes perfect sense for god to appear in plain form for everyone to see and speak to. The only thing stopping atheists from being saved is the lack of proof, if proof was there we would all accept god as fact
@@thanosmak8575 _"Why does he not perform on command to please a sceptic? Is he too proud to do so? i thought pride was a sin."_ Are you blind to the arrogance and disproportionate, inflated sense of self-importance of that sequence of mocking questions? _"The only thing stopping atheists from being saved is the lack of proof, if proof was there we would all accept god as fact"_ As fact? Perhaps. But as the sovereign authority over all creation? As someone you need to surrender your life to? I seriously doubt it. You, like so many atheists, have _a cosmic authority problem_ just as atheist philosopher Thomas Nagel once confessed; "I *don't want* God to exist. I *don't want* the universe to be like that. Call it a _cosmic authority problem_ ". *Why doesn't God physically reveal Himself?* - czcams.com/video/IBIsLTQ-GKQ/video.html (2:51) *Why Is God So Hidden?* - czcams.com/video/Zq7At8Q8rb4/video.html (28:00)
@@Locutus.Borg. Do you forget that supposedly god is love? What does the phrase "inflated sense of self-importance" even mean? It means that you view my question on this basis "how can someone so insignificant as me, a common human, ask for anything from the super-cool and almighty god, like proof the god exists" You create a hierarchy where god is super important and i am super unimportant. The issue is even though it's true, a loving god would not make decisions on the basis of how cool he is (because that's prideful) , he would make decisions based on the best way to save as many people as possible (since he is loving). And the best way to save as many people as possible is for him to at the very least show he exists. It's not even that much is it? I even watched the first video, and i'm awestruck with how dumb his argument was " god isn't interested in proving his existence, he is interested in having a relationship with humans" Seriously, a great requirement for a relationship.... with another human being, is for the other human being to exist and be interactible!!!! I can't have a relationship with a silent invisible person!!! Now as for the whole nonsense about "i don't want god to exist", if i knew god exists, i knew that he intends to burn me forever if i don't worship him, so you can bet i would worship his psychopathic butt with all my might.
how does the response of the questioner on the analogy cliffe stated on 0:32 is the answer on why jesus don't show himself on earth? the question is very simple, why tf he don't show up. it's clear that even the middle aged man don't know the answer on that HHAHAHAHAH that cliffe guy is on effing circle HHAHAHAHAHA
You're talking about ancient people who lack understanding of the world around them. Modern society is a different story, with our technological advancedment, knowledge in medicine and overall understanding of the world, if a man shows up today and is able to perform things that we know scientifically impossible he wouldn't be crucified but be hailed as a real god.
@@dirkjensen969 The point of the test if because we could lose faith at anytime and whatever test he puts us through, we are learn valuable lessons from it.
Lol 😂 He revealed himself for 30 plus years with all sort of lifestyle and prophecies getting fulfilled and people still doubted. So don’t expect people believing by him popping up here and there. That’s not how it works. It’s a heart issue not mind. Luke 16:31“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
Could you please elaborate more on that, you said he's been revealing himself for years now, care to share one instance of such event with concrete evidence of course.

"Why doesn't God come down as a man and walk among us and create many miracles - then get hung on a cross and die a brutal death for the remission of our sins and then rise again from the dead and ascend into Heaven?" 4. "Why doesn't Jesus return to Earth with a host of Angels ?" 1. HE WON'T; 2. HE WON'T; 3. HE DID. 4. HE WILL. 😊
@@trumpbellend6717 From your question, I must surmise, that you are an atheist. Personally, I have neither the desire, nor the faith to become an atheist. It takes more blind faith than I could ever muster. To examine the intricate molecular language of DNA and understand how it functions with different types of RNA in the manufacturing of proteins for the construction and design of living organisms and to think, that this molecular language - forming the plan for various living organisms has no Intelligent Designer behind it - is quite unbelievable. Add to this, the intricate Laws of Physics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Mathematics, Quantum Mechanics, Gravity, etc. - the position of our Earth in relationship to the Sun; the composition of its chemical elements, in all, the right amounts; countless examples of irreducible complexity; and so much more I can't see how anyone could be an atheist. To believe, that EVERYTHING was created by NOBODY out of NOTHING is insane.
That Ant farm analogy was terrible, isn’t close to God’s love at all, God doesn’t demand our love… He gave us free will so we have a choice, He wants real genuine love from us, not forced love, you can choose to love Him or not, He loves you either way, He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus so that we may have the choice to choose Him & take up our Cross & have eternal life. John 18:36 “My Kingdom is not of this world.” God gave Satan dominion over this earth, (John 14:30) Jesus died for our sins on the Cross for save us from the world, God knows this world is full of sin & evil. I pray for people like this young man that the Holy Spirit fill them. Jesus literally delivers people from Chronic depression, Suicidal thoughts, Anxiety, Fear, He makes people calm, patient, kind, selfless, forgiving, loving, list goes on. Why do you think Hollywood hates Jesus? Because it’s all sinful nature, it’s “of this world” money, girls, pleasure, greed, promiscuity etc. I went off on a tangent, Jesus Loves You All
@trevonw67 see, the problem with your kind is that God could literally show up, in person, tell you that he's God, give you literally, undeniable proof, but you atheists are so stubborn, you'd still deny it. You dont want there to be a God. You want to be so high and might better than everyone and more right than everyone that even if you say undeniable proof of God, you'd claim it to be a magic trick.
@@jimmyjohhn15 did i personally see all that proof? no. Why should i believe 2000 year old hearsay? the only reason i would, would be either naivety or brainwashing There are numerous supernatural myths that have an equal amount of proof ( which means almost nothing at all).

Here's the thing. Every time God showed up in a stormy display, people still disbelieved, and still turned away and forgot about Him. He has already shown people Himself over and over and over through centuries, but the same result would continue to happen. Now, instead of doing the same things to have the same result, Jesus will have a second coming, that will signify the End of Days. Another flip to it, He is everywhere. He even appears before those who do not believe, but they simply don't see Him working, or acknowledge His works, and instead attribute it to other things due to their short sightedness, be it on purpose or otherwise. To add to that, we live in a day in age where so many things can be faked even visually. There are machines capable of recreating large FX and more so when a recording or is shown that too can be faked. AI can mimic voices of others and to the not-so-observant eye or ear, it is entirely believable. If God were to come in physical form and display Himself, many would still find it hard to believe despite the physical evidence.
Let's structure this in the form of a logical syllogism with premises and a conclusion, then you can indicate which specific premises you disagree with that would invalidate the derived conclusion ........ *Premise one* The Christian God is said to be morally perfect, loving, omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent. *Premise two* Belief in this specific god is required to prevent an eternal torment and attain salvation. *Premises three* The Christian God wants all to know of his existence and thus be saved. *Premise four* The Christian God would have both the ability and desire to demonstrate his existence to all. *Premise five* Almost three quarters of the world population do not think the Christian God exists. *Conclusion* The Christian God as described does *NOT* exist
How telling that if Christian soteriology is correct the most important factor that differentiates those deserving eternal paradise and those deserving eternal torment is the geographical location one is born into. If one is born in Saudi Arabia there is about a 95% chance that you will belive in the "wrong" God and reject jesus and thus receive eternal damnation in a lake of fire. However be born into America and magically there is about a 95% chance that you will believe in the "right" God and thus receive eternal salvation. 👏👏 Allegedly this is the justice of a perfect omnibenevolent omnipotent omniscient loving God. The fact that many people who reject jesus often lead devout pious lives and follow very strict and demanding religious practices with regards to worship, diet, clothing and relationships is not a factor, these people seemingly reject jesus because they *"want to sin"* 🤔🤫 Some live lives of isolation and quiet contemplation taking vows of celibacy and silence but the loving jesus still deems these people unworthy of anything other than eternal torment. Conversely however a murderer so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed he can spend an eternity in paradise with those he murdered. Unless of course those people also found the "evidence" for your God unconvincing, in which case the murderer would be looking down from paradise on the people he killed as they too suffered for eternity with me 😡
@trumpbellend6717 That makes no sense. There is this God that is loving and just. Much of the world knows of His existence but choose not to follow or study any further. They would simply use a simply cop out or rather just follow some other thing because they find it more favorable to their own desires. This much is true especially for the West. Those not in the West, also still have the knowledge of Jesus Christ's existence, it is well known in fact. But much of them also choose to deny Him to follow their own thing. Not that I say there are few cultures that possibly have never received the gospel, but God judges just, and acknowledges these sort of variables in the time judgement arrives for every individual. But remember it is He who determines morality, not us. For if it was only us who determined morality, we would not have advanced this far as a species.
@@OperatorWolfy Lol so you are claiming that BILLIONS of people just "choose" to believe in the wrong God and those people all just happen to live in the same geographical areas of the world ? 🤭😅🤣🤣😂🤣
@trumpbellend6717 there are many across the world that have spread His word, through so many various geographical areas. Pair that with how modern many nations have become and how connected many have become, it would be more naive to think that most people DONT know of the existence of Christianity, considering it's been an integral part of history throughout the ages along with Islam and Judaism.

Dont expect for miracles to just show up at your unbelieving home. Go seek and you shall find.

People witnessed Jesus perform miracles, and they still rejected Him. People will still reject Christ when he comes in the clouds at the rapture. People who don't believe do so because they don't want to believe. Not because there isn't adequate evidence.

You know for a being that is capable of all things you guys sure do make a lot of excuses for him...What's so hard about convincing ppl you exist since that's literally what atheist are asking for in order to at the very least believe that?
@trevonw67 Because God's justice attribute demands that he give Satan a chance to argue his case. Satan impuned the character of God after God condemned him and the fallen angels to the lake of fire. Satan is trying to establish a utopia on Earth apart from God. Satan is trying all sorts of contrary theories apart from God's plan. These theories (like communism as an example) aren't working. He isn't able to live up to his desire to be like the most high. God has had different rules in different dispensations, but ultimately, God is proving that His way is superior to Satan's way, and he does so in fairness to Satan. If God appeared before everyone in existence, there would be no way for Satan to mislead people into following his path. It wouldn't be fair. God provides plenty of evidence throughout creation pointing to His existence. If you don't believe, it isn't for lack of evidence.

My critic is aimed at Jesus as a claimed god (not at a human preacher) for previous reasons and at the Evangelicals for their claims.
One of the reasons the Lord doesn't reveal Himself to us right now is due to our sin nature. God can't be in the presence of sin, He is too Holy and perfect! Jesus did come onto earth to become flesh and pay the penalty for those sins. Without his payment, you can not be in the presence of the Lord! Denial of Jesus will place you away from God. It is always man's freedom of choice to accept the gift of salvation through Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life to the Father! There is no other way. God does not reveal Himself to everyone due to man's choice to reject Jesus. Without Jesus, you shall not be with God.
But Christianity teaches that God did appear to people, in spite of the sin. No sin would be too strong to conquer God.
Isn't God everywhere?

We don’t save people, we speak his truth boldly and plant that seed it’s up to the spirit to convict them and we have to learn to be OK with that and realize that some people just are not ever going to respond or may not do it when we’re around plant that seed anyway, and leave it up to God.

I am in need of prayer if someone can write it out or pray for me that would be really like really appreciated I always notice myself messing up with family and stuff and recurring sins I also want to pray for my family brother sisters and parents who don't believe in Christ or are lukewarm I care for them and I want to meet them in heaven one day if I ever make it.
This is my prayer.
"Father in heaven,
I pray that you would help Josh90910, Lord, with his struggles. I pray that you would bolden him in your word and your truth, that he may grow in faith, holiness, a love for you, and confidence in the righteousness that you so graciously offer, through faith and not ourselves. I also pray Lord, that you help his family, his brothers, sisters, and parents who don't strongly follow after you. I ask Lord that you would give them an understanding of the gospel, and their sins, that they may find the savior, Lord. Please draw them to yourself, and glorify your name in these things Lord. It is in Jesus Christs' name that I pray, Lord. Amen."
I've pondered this myself. It's a strawman argument, really. Imagine if Jesus descended right now and said, "Record this and upload it to CZcams so I can clarify everything." What would the comments section look like? If Jesus displayed his crucifixion wounds, performed miracles, and it was all captured on video with a message for those who doubt, I can envision comments like, "LOL, this guy thinks he's Jesus," or "Wow, CGI gets more realistic every year," or "Impressive special effects, they almost had me convinced." The real debate isn't about "Why can't Jesus show himself?" but rather about accountability. If Jesus exists and we are sinners, we must confront the prospect of judgment for our sins. Many don't see themselves as bad people or take offense at being labeled sinners, perhaps because deep down, they recognize that they are sinners and that is the truth, but they refuse to accept it. So, even if Jesus were to make a video appearance today, someone will always try to justify in their minds that perhaps the video is probably a fake.
He could appear to anyone who wants to talk to him.
Don't try to weasel out of it. The fact that he is no making any appearances is a very good indication that he doesn't exist.
// "accountability" //
Lol hilarious 🤣 😂 What does "justice" actually mean to you my friend ? 🤔 You see for me justice is all about fairness, responsibility, equality, *"accountability"* and consequences all of which can be negated under Christian soteriology by one's acceptance or rejection of extraordinary supernatural claims and a willingness to pass the buck. One is judged not upon their actions in life but rather their membership of the "belief club"
*John 5 24*
_“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and _*_"BELIEVES"_*_ in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and _*_SHALL NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT,_*_ but has passed from death into life"_
Our societal conception of "justice" in in direct conflict with the *unequal punishment* based on the accused "beliefs" ( something they have no more control over than the colour of their skin at birth ) prescribed by Christian theology. Moral properties such as responsibility are supervenient on actions and attributes of moral agents, and cannot be transferred between them. As such vicarious redemption ( scapegoating ) could never and should never be regarded as either logical or moral.
The idea of sin, morality, *"accountability"* however you define it, being a tradeable commodity is at odds with how I define morality. Particularly when it involves the suffering of an innocent. I am responsible for my good and bad actions, people can't 'take' my bad deeds any more than they can my good nor should they.
How telling that if Christian soteriology is correct the most important factor that differentiates those deserving eternal paradise and those deserving eternal torment is the geographical location one is born into.
If one is born in Saudi Arabia there is about a 95% chance that you will belive in the "wrong" God and reject jesus and thus receive eternal damnation in a lake of fire. However be born into America and magically there is about a 95% chance that you will believe in the "right" God and thus receive eternal salvation. 👏👏
Allegedly this is the justice of a perfect omnibenevolent omnipotent omniscient loving God. The fact that many people who reject jesus often lead devout pious lives and follow very strict and demanding religious practices with regards to worship, diet, clothing and relationships is not a factor, these people seemingly reject jesus because they *"want to sin"* 🤔🤫 Some live lives of isolation and quiet contemplation taking vows of celibacy and silence but the loving jesus still deems these people unworthy of anything other than eternal torment.
Conversely however a murderer so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed he can spend an eternity in paradise with those he murdered. Unless of course those people also found the "evidence" for your God unconvincing, in which case the murderer would be looking down from paradise on the people he killed as they too suffered for eternity with me 😡
@@missplainjane3905 Well he doesn't reply. Does he reply to you? :P In plain english?
@@missplainjane3905 I asked right now. Nothing happened.
How about you, if you ask him, does he appear in your living room, and you have an actual conversation?
Why can’t the miracles happen today is the same as, ‘why can’t life just be easy’
‘Those who believe without seeing me will be truly blessed’ Why should Jesus Christ of Nazareth come down to prove his existence to people who talk and say bad things about him daily. And he still loves those people just as much as people that do believe. He came down once before to pay for the penalty of our sins and that is enough. I want to see our lord and saviour in the flesh but I know that if I don’t I will one day either way just my job to do Gods will and trust his plan for my life. All praise to the king of kings, Lord of Lords, our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ
Because the next time he comes, he’s gonna see with his eyes but it will be too late.
Even if he comes and is seen again, some will still not believe after he leaves.
Blessed are those who do not see but still believe.
You will "see" and feel God in a highly personal, intimate way if you have an attitude of childlike humility to Him. Give it a try❤
If you're that unbelieving, what's to say you would recognize him if he did come in bodily form? Many did not believe him though they saw him do miracles! Some people will always have an excuse not to believe!
@@MarySmith-ry9cu I'd recognise him for sure if he does what they say he's capable of, like making the blind see, turning water into wine, heal the sick just to name a few.
🙏
Please pray for me, I want to be a voice but I need his help and guidance.
He's coming sooner than you think....... it's not time yet
True i can't wait
With faith, all things are possible through God.
I definitely need prayer, I think.
If God came down and revealed Himself in His divinity and performed all types of miracles, would we need faith? And then also, would you follow Him because you wanted to or because you would be terrified?
And then what do we subject God to if we only choose to follow and serve Him out of fear?
@@BlxckByrd1 isn't the very reason you follow him because you're terrified of ending up in hell? Religion itself is built on fear, exactly the reason why each and every religion has "unbelievers will be damned forever" as one of its main teachings.
@@McrChemical The very reason I follow Jesus is because He was a man who lived believing that He was sent here to save humanity. He preached a message of love, and religious people killed Him for it. He was a man who split time in two with His words. That’s someone I want to follow. Me personally, brother I’m not terrified of going to hell because He told me how not to: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength & love one another. The question I then ask myself is “what is the potential for me to love God and others to the best of my ability today and can I love better than that tomorrow?”
Sorry for the delay and long response! My question to you now brother, what makes religion, Christianity specifically, built on fear?
Here all can see how man here respects more God than human being.
God doesn’t demand that we worship him. He gave us free will to do whatever we want, following him or not is all our choice
Except if you don't follow him, he is going to punish you forever... It's like having a mugger saying "i told him, his money or his life, and he gave his money out of his own free will"
@@thanosmak8575 Your example is a lose - lose but with god, if you turn to him your life will become better and there’s a chance you can go to heaven, so why would you not want to turn to him?Basically all humans sin, so from what I understand we’re kinda predetermined to go to hell that is until Jesus came But god loves us and he wants to save us, so all he asks is that we love him as he loves us. See god doesn’t send us to hell, we send ourselves. Only when given his grace can you be saved from your own actions. It’s like in your example except you are the one who stole the money and god is the judge in court. He loves you but he still needs to judge you fairly according to your sins and actions. Oh but wait, Jesus already came and took the jail time for your theft, so now you have the opportunity to get into heaven. You get what I mean? He’s not punishing you, you are punishing yourself. He sent down Jesus so we can go to heaven with god and only by faith in Jesus can we go not by doing good works or by anything else only by faith.
@@DOGG008 God could have just as easily let us not suffer in the afterlife. The whole deal with hell is his creation and his idea.
Even in the bible it's explicitly stated as a place where god punishes the wicked
2 Thessalonians 1:6-9
John 3:36
Matthew 25:41-46
So no, god deliberately sends those who don't believe in him to suffer eternally. There is a definite element of coercion
@@thanosmak8575 oh. Even then just follow god, why wouldn’t you wanna love him as he loves you anyway
God does come down...
The Holy spirit is God and fills us!
Jesus christ is King.
He is Present in his flesh in Eucharist, that I would say
So Jesus says he is the only way and only believing and following him brings you salvation?
Then why is he only appearing to a very small amount of people, 295k years after we humans evolved in evolution.
He acted in a small area while all the Earth was already full of humans.
Billions and billions of people never even had the chance to know him.
And after he died, this religion spread mainly over brutal military power in North Europe, in America , in parts of Asia and in Australia.
Till today 2/3 of humans do not follow that religion, not because they are bad, but because they are socialized in other religions and convictions.
A very bad strategy of a guy that offers the ONLY way and also a very unsuccessful way.
Doesnt sound like the strategy of a god that created all universe and billions of galaxies with billions of solar systems in it.
It sounds rather like a man-made invented local religion that made it to spread and needs several justifications.
sounds more like God values something called "free will" and only gives himself to those who really want it. And if you mentioned that it is man-made: there is no way that something like the Catholic Church and other churches would have survived even over a hundred years with the history and persecution it has had if God had not watched over it. You're watching a miracle and you probably know it
@@user-hr8dx9qw4n What the chatolic church did wasn't God's will.
And the bible says God reveals himself in his creation. Before Jesus, people were saved by giving him the glory he deserves from creation. But the humans, as you can tell, prefered to give his glory to statues and false gods. You could easily understand all these questions of yours if you actually tried to read the bible. About people not being bad, you can give someone all the evidence in the world, and it's certain that among the religions, Christianity is the only one that can prove itself, but nooo, it's not arrogance or something like that. I can tell you that the universe can't create itself from nothing and it needs to have a cause, and yet most "scientists" would prefer to believe tha such a perfect Universe, solar system and planet are just a coincidence.
@@zeraorasincero5551 "God reveals himself in his creation."
@@user-hr8dx9qw4n So, first:
You can't believe in God and "Billions years old animals" at the same time; If you are proposing yourself to believe in God, you have to accept the terms first.
So, I'm not sure if you are talking about the chatolic church or the Hebrews killing caananites, please tell me.
About the universe and the creation as a whole, as you said above, things are affected by the sin in some way. But hey, God didn't plan any other life form in the universe, only us. But if you think it's a coincidence that the earth and all of it's nature that are perfect for us humans to live, the distance between the planets and the Sun, the roles that the other planets do to protect the earth, the role of the moon, the perfect inclination of the earth creating the perfect seasons through the year, the perfect rotation of the earth, the magnetic field, etc. Are a coincidence rather believing all this was calculated, you aren't working with what is more probable no more.
"There's two ways of living. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle"
And "there is no evidence of any supernatural thing" well, we have all the ocular witnesses that saw Jesus after he rose from the dead: The gospels, wich are reliable historical documents. Well, there's two facts that you have to believe, believing in the gospels or not: Jesus was crucificated, and his body wasn't in his tomb.
Thank you! I must admit that i don't know much about deism, what does it defend?
He will reveal himself if you reach out to him, becuase he wants a relationship with everyone individually. A mass showing will end the world.
Let's slap hands!!
The Christian was brave to have an answer for his faith but honestly in this scenario, I wouldn’t waste time with cynics like those young men. It’s throwing pearls before swine. They already made up their mind not to believe so no matter what you say they’re not buying it. They’ll just mock and laugh and waste your time. You’re better off reaching out to people who genuinely are seeking answers.
He said he's ok with that....Lord you are not making it easy to not judge.
Need prayers for me sickness pain
Prayed for you brother
Prayers can't heal you doctors and medications do
@@McrChemical funny because God made those doctors, pharmacists, and basically everything you use to exist.
@@jhedjoardumago7691 right, cause it's so much easier to say "god made it" rather than provide a detailed explanation as to how and why. Just like when somebody asks you a question that you don't know the answer, just say "god it made so".
Miracles do happen now look to saint charbel in Lebanon. And other saints around the world❤❤❤
He has for 2,000 years in visions, dreams and revelations. He is only a spirit and can reveal himself in those ways. That's why the Lord of the Second Advent has to be born on the Earth, so he can bring physical salvation which Jesus did not have time to do.
"they don't happen on command".... YES they should. If someone is worshipping Jesus or Allah and they don't perform miracles then they should be sacked
I need pray for get freedom from lust ✝️✨
Jehovah doesn't always command us, why would we command Him?
Gods biggest miracle was his resurrection…
Cliffe dodged that question big time!
Yeah his answer was little more than "god is too cool to show himself to you on your terms" which kinda implies that god has an ego issue
@@thanosmak8575I think it’s more of an ego issue on the human part. We’re basically telling God “No you can’t do it the way You know is best, you have to do it our way to believe in you”
Also btw, God does reveal himself to people and He still heals people today. You just disregard it, the Bible also says that creation and morality is proof of Gods existence.
Since when is it ego for someone to require proof before he believes in something?
Should we believe whatever we are told? Also believe in Allah, and Buddha and Zeus for the same reason?
All these gods also have people who claim that god spoke to them or healed them.
Please face it, there is 0 reason for god not to appear to us based on the precepts that he wants us to be saved. If the reason he doesn't do it is because "we humans can't dictate what we consider adequate proof" then this means that god doesn't satisfy our proof standards because of his ego, it's that simple.
Also really? creation and morality is proof of god's existence? how so?
@@thanosmak8575 The human need for proof changes. We can ask God to show us a sign and if He does we might just disregard it and demand another sign from Him. That’s how humans are.
The best arguments for God are going to consist of objective morality and an appeal to the first law of thermodynamics which states no matter can be created or destroyed; which means a universe can’t just pop into existence just cause. If you want a more complex explanation I would go watch debates between Jeff Durbin and other atheists.
Also I believe Christianity is the most logical religion, I can see clear cut issues with the other religions that don’t see with Christianity. Although it could be that I just don’t look for the faults for Christianity as much as for other religions. Anyways, have a good day!
@@alphanomega12 That's a total cop-out. No sane human argues that the sun doesn't exist, and the reason is that everyone can see the sun.
The same could be for god. An obvious god would be believed by almost anyone, and as i explained, since we can be saved only through god, it's in his best interest to show us his existence in an indisputable manner.
Now the two arguments you mentioned only work if you absolutely refuse to consider the myriads of alternate possibilites.
You mention the first law of thermodynamics. True matter cannot be destroyed or created, but what makes you certain that the universe was created, and didn't exist forever? If you are willing to accept god as eternal, why can't the universe be as well? More importantly, do you happen to know all the possible physics at play? do you know what happens under singularity conditions? No, you don't, so you can't place god as the only other possible explanation. We just don't know enough yet.
The whole thing with objective morality christians like to talk about is also a complete house of cards. For starters even within christianity, morality has changed. Everyone considers the mosaic law to be a horrible abomination , but according to religion, it WAS from god.... who later changed his mind... so much for "objective" morality.
Morality is much better explained as a social construct, an agreement between members of a tribe to further help it's survival. After generations of reinforcement those agreements turned into ideologies.
Lastly christianity being the most logical... in this day and age it is preposterous to be said. On every scientific field that the bible had made any mention, the bible failed (6 day creation, adam and eve, tower of babel, global flood etc)
Is it logical then to believe it?
At the very least other religions don't make their gods perfectly good. This is more aligned to how the world actually looks like
Kid it's a miracle you're still alive it's a shame you don't appreciate the great life that you've been given
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing time and time again and expecting different results…”
God showed his power to the Israelites, and they were so frightened they went to Moses and begged for prophets rather than hearing God speak.
They then went to worship a golden calf.
The prophets brought Gods word and they were ridiculed, ignored and, in some cases, put to horrible deaths.
Jesus came to Earth and he was rejected despite his doings.
Why doesn’t God just reveal himself?
Because if history has shown us anything, people like this would *still* reject him.
You're talking about people from ancient times who didn't have a better understanding of the world. But if god reveals himself now and perform his miracles, I'd bet the whole world will bow down to him.
He can start by giving sight to the blind or turn water into wine. A feat he was more than capable of as the bible says. You really think a man or being who can do that wouldn't be taken seriously in today's age?
@@McrChemical technology may have moved on but people’s mentality hasn’t.
I call it the pedestal effect, it doesn’t matter what you do people will always raise the pedestal one step higher.
Richard Dawkins, for instance, during some group chat, said “people commonly ask me what it would take for me to believe in God and I used to think that if God appeared before me that’d be enough, but then I think it could just be a hallucination or (some other problem) and, now, I think that even if I came outside and the stars had realigned to read ‘there is a God’ I’d just think it could be aliens playing a joke…”
@@kymmoore853 nothing but assumptions, sounds like you're just making up excuses to explain why jesus hasn't revealed himself.
@@McrChemical it’s not an assumption it’s an observation based on the current ideals of society and the basis that people constantly want ‘more’.
I’d believe if…
And when that happens…
Well, I’d believe if…
And so on.
Look at the rainbow society, for instance, nothing has or will be enough for them, ever. They have people who mock God on a daily basis ‘I identify as demon, my pronouns are demon and demonself’, ‘I identify as God…’ etc. etc.
If there’s one thing society has taught me it’s that people _will_ , quite literally, cut their nose off to spite their face.
I don’t think he really wants Jesus to come to earth right now. Because once that happens, it is the end of the world. He won’t have the ability to choose Christ anymore. Choice will be removed.
Good Question, you have a real source.
Quiet your mind, ask your questions one at a time, and wait until you have a response because Jesus is the creator of humankind, he answers, your questions, he created all life, your ears, mouth, eyes, mind, and God has a mouth that speaks, God is the life force of you and all people. Read Revelation 21, he is in you already to teach you and to have a relationship with you.
Cliff, it is written be careful who you entertain as it could be Angels. In fact Jesus can come to any person in any appearance, He could stand right next to you and you just think it is just an ordinary person, Of course he could even take a selfie, and months later, lift the picture or memory and have a discussion with you about it. When Jesus does touch someone, that person is shocked and for a long time.
Unless the Holy Spirit works on that man it's like talking to a brick wall.
The Lord reveals Himself to us in many ways. It isn't directly in front of your eyes the way you look at a tree and say "that is a tree". It is instead, as one example, written on every being which has the breath of life, praising His name YHWH. Take a deep breath in and then exhale, you are literally speaking the Lord's name with every breath.
Further, in our DNA the bridge between strands of DNA occur at places 10, 5, 6, 5....which numerically represented in Hebrew is Yud Hey Vev Hey, or YHWH in our alphabet.
My personal belief on why God doesn't just appear in front of our eyes to command belief, before His promise of return, is that it would contradict His design for free will. God gave man choice and it is in His plan, possibly to give the most amount of humanity the grace of time for repentance for our misdeeds, before ultimately passing judgement. We have choice for salvation.
For those who have eyes, let him see. Praise Jesus, Lord and Savior, Amen.
We have cancer and genetic malformations written in our DNA. Are those God made?
We don’t make a yhwh sound by breathing
So him showing himself impedes our free will
Like how my comment impedes it
10,5,6,5 isn’t evidence either even if that is true. Attach any other letters to that and you could get the name of some other thing.
It's an incredibly manipulative position this young man is taking. Will God be manipulated?
If God shows himself again, people will be amazed and then eventually build today's version of a "golden cow" right in front of him.
He doesn't reveal himself because he's dead and the dead stay dead.
Because fictional characters don't exist.
Think of how many people would be converted to Christianity if your God put in an appearance and proved beyond doubt that he existed.
A trick he could perform to that end would be if he appeared on every television channel and computer screen throughout the world for one hour, regardless of whether the device was plugged into a power source or not, in fact everybody could turn their TV off and he would still be there explaining his policies and telling people all over the world how they should live their lives.
Once the show was over nobody could complain that they had not been told and there would be no excuses for wavering, many people on CZcams claim to have visited Jesus and if they are to be taken at their word then there is no reason why God should not appear to everyone and put the story beyond doubt.
Your God is supposed to be omnipotent and can do anything so this miracle surely could not be beyond him, if he really desires people to live by his beliefs and end up in Heaven he could do this and then there would be no reason for him to hand his creations (who he says he loves) over to Satan and the torture pit.
And this brings up another question, If his subjects have been unfaithful to him and haven`t led pure and chaste lives why doesn’t he just kill them and then they could be in the same state as they were before they were born, why have them perpetually punished? Surely being burned and tortured forever is a little harsh when he professes to love them, that love seems very shallow.
No doubt the purveyors of religion will find some words in the bible which preclude God from appearing to us or showing some understanding and mercy, maybe the invisible guy in the sky isn't really there and mankind has been deluding itself for Centuries.
What a basic premise this so called God has been operating under, "Devote yourself to me or I'll throw you into the fire"
Exactly! So many ways for this so called perfect all knowing all powerful being to not only show but also convince us that he's the real deal🤷🏽♂️ but nope... everybody has an excuse for everyday of the week for this guy
Ikr, even showing footage of actual demon possessions and exorcisms the church conducted over the years and well documented would've sufficed. But alas they won't, as it can be narrowed down to a simple mental health issue. The church is being deliberately vague because they know the foundation of their faith will easily crumble under modern scrutiny.
So Jesus says he is the only way and only believing and following him brings you salvation?
Then why is he only appearing to a very small amount of people, 295k years after we humans evolved in evolution.

What this lost soul fails to realize is simple, arrogance and pride we all suffer with.
We don`t want too look stupid in front of others because of a simple "I don`t know" which is the best answer.
God does not need us to speak for him or require us, we need god not the other way around.

Why can't people with questions like that just read the Bible?
Because there is no answer to this question in the bible
Christ came down 2,000 years ago. And look what we did to him. You think it would change things if he did come here again? Even back then when he healed people and brought them back from the dead lots still sinned willingly and still didn’t believe in Christ. You think if he came down here we’d be any different in this era?
The Bible teaches that Jesus continued to appear to people after his resurrection. And apparently it was not a problem.

The hubris and arrogance of the wicked to assume a holy God owes them anything. The misguided sense of this person's own self-importance is embarrassing and out of place. God the Father gave His only perfect and sinless Son as an atonement for all who would accept Him as Lord and Saviour. The depths of God's grace is unfathomable in that act alone.
Did you see god give his only perfect and sinless son? No? Why do you believe it happened then?
@@thanosmak8575 Even secular scholars agree that Jesus of Nazareth was real and was crucified just as the bible says. The Romans have documented it, first through Pontus Pilot and later via the Roman historian Tacitus. Even those who wanted to crucify him because he threatened the status quo thought he was a prophet and a holy man. Jesus' actions and words speak for themselves. Other faiths and cultures also recognise the same Jesus. But I have been given proofs of my own eyes and ears, experienced miracles that have saved my life on countless occasions. Proofs that if you had experienced them for yourself you would be convinced that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Yet, I believed BEFORE I experienced these signs and wonders. God is holy and does not perform on command to please a sceptic. Rather, He is gracious to those who are faithful.
@@Locutus.Borg. The position in question is not if Jesus existed or not. No one thinks it is impossible that there was a preacher in judea who angered the local clergy and was therefore crucified. What is put into question is claims of him being divine.
In order to believe this you should have a much higher standard of proof.
Tacitus for example speaks of the cult of christiniaty and Nero's actions against it in 116AD... We all agree that christians existed. Does this prove that god exists? Of course not!
Pontius Pilate's writings are a much later fabrication too. In reality we have nothing directly from him.
Now as for the proof you have seen with your own eyes... i'm really curious what it is about
And why does he not perform on command to please a sceptic? Is he too proud to do so? i thought pride was a sin.
According to christian doctrine, god loves everyone and wants them to be saved. If the only way to be saved is through him, it makes perfect sense for god to appear in plain form for everyone to see and speak to. The only thing stopping atheists from being saved is the lack of proof, if proof was there we would all accept god as fact
@@thanosmak8575 _"Why does he not perform on command to please a sceptic? Is he too proud to do so? i thought pride was a sin."_
Are you blind to the arrogance and disproportionate, inflated sense of self-importance of that sequence of mocking questions?
_"The only thing stopping atheists from being saved is the lack of proof, if proof was there we would all accept god as fact"_
As fact? Perhaps. But as the sovereign authority over all creation? As someone you need to surrender your life to? I seriously doubt it. You, like so many atheists, have _a cosmic authority problem_ just as atheist philosopher Thomas Nagel once confessed; "I *don't want* God to exist. I *don't want* the universe to be like that. Call it a _cosmic authority problem_ ".

@@Locutus.Borg. Do you forget that supposedly god is love? What does the phrase "inflated sense of self-importance" even mean? It means that you view my question on this basis
"how can someone so insignificant as me, a common human, ask for anything from the super-cool and almighty god, like proof the god exists"
You create a hierarchy where god is super important and i am super unimportant.
The issue is even though it's true, a loving god would not make decisions on the basis of how cool he is (because that's prideful) , he would make decisions based on the best way to save as many people as possible (since he is loving).
And the best way to save as many people as possible is for him to at the very least show he exists. It's not even that much is it?
I even watched the first video, and i'm awestruck with how dumb his argument was " god isn't interested in proving his existence, he is interested in having a relationship with humans"
Seriously, a great requirement for a relationship.... with another human being, is for the other human being to exist and be interactible!!!! I can't have a relationship with a silent invisible person!!!
Now as for the whole nonsense about "i don't want god to exist", if i knew god exists, i knew that he intends to burn me forever if i don't worship him, so you can bet i would worship his psychopathic butt with all my might.
how does the response of the questioner on the analogy cliffe stated on 0:32 is the answer on why jesus don't show himself on earth? the question is very simple, why tf he don't show up. it's clear that even the middle aged man don't know the answer on that HHAHAHAHAH that cliffe guy is on effing circle HHAHAHAHAHA
Why this old man is at universities. He did not graduate already ?
Well, he doesn’t show himself because of what happened last time……
You're talking about ancient people who lack understanding of the world around them. Modern society is a different story, with our technological advancedment, knowledge in medicine and overall understanding of the world, if a man shows up today and is able to perform things that we know scientifically impossible he wouldn't be crucified but be hailed as a real god.
He doesn't reveal himself because he is a myth.
Yah absolutely plays games. He's constantly testing people. Look at Abraham and Isaac what sort of sick game was that?
Why is that sick? Because God knows their limits in faith and decided to test them?
@@arcticangel1628 if he knows what's the point of the test? Bring us not to the time of trial young jedi.
@@dirkjensen969 The point of the test if because we could lose faith at anytime and whatever test he puts us through, we are learn valuable lessons from it.
@arcticangel1628 yes we learned Yah is a narcissistic psychopath
@@arcticangel1628 Does God test the faith of the northkorean fatso dictator, for example?
Lol 😂 He revealed himself for 30 plus years with all sort of lifestyle and prophecies getting fulfilled and people still doubted. So don’t expect people believing by him popping up here and there. That’s not how it works. It’s a heart issue not mind.
Luke 16:31“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
Could you please elaborate more on that, you said he's been revealing himself for years now, care to share one instance of such event with concrete evidence of course.
1. "Why doesn't God place His face in the sky 24/7 until the end of time?"
2. "Why doesn't God just snap His fingers and make all humans perfect?"
3. "Why doesn't God come down as a man and walk among us and create many miracles - then get hung on a cross and die a brutal death for the remission of our sins and then rise again from the dead and ascend into Heaven?"
4. "Why doesn't Jesus return to Earth with a host of Angels ?"
1. HE WON'T; 2. HE WON'T; 3. HE DID. 4. HE WILL. 😊
Lol do baseless assertions constitute some form of rational argument in your world dear? 🤭
@@trumpbellend6717 From your question, I must surmise, that you are an atheist.
Personally, I have neither the desire, nor the faith to become an atheist. It takes more blind faith than I could ever muster.
To examine the intricate molecular language of DNA and understand how it functions with different types of RNA in the manufacturing of proteins for the construction and design of living organisms and to think, that this molecular language - forming the plan for various living organisms has no Intelligent Designer behind it - is quite unbelievable.
Add to this, the intricate Laws of Physics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Mathematics, Quantum Mechanics, Gravity, etc. - the position of our Earth in relationship to the Sun; the composition of its chemical elements, in all, the right amounts; countless examples of irreducible complexity; and so much more I can't see how anyone could be an atheist.
To believe, that EVERYTHING was created by NOBODY out of NOTHING is insane.
That kid is full of arrogance
Maybe, but the "pastor" guy didn't really answer his question at all
Hard to watch
That Ant farm analogy was terrible, isn’t close to God’s love at all, God doesn’t demand our love… He gave us free will so we have a choice, He wants real genuine love from us, not forced love, you can choose to love Him or not, He loves you either way, He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus so that we may have the choice to choose Him & take up our Cross & have eternal life. John 18:36 “My Kingdom is not of this world.” God gave Satan dominion over this earth, (John 14:30) Jesus died for our sins on the Cross for save us from the world, God knows this world is full of sin & evil. I pray for people like this young man that the Holy Spirit fill them. Jesus literally delivers people from Chronic depression, Suicidal thoughts, Anxiety, Fear, He makes people calm, patient, kind, selfless, forgiving, loving, list goes on. Why do you think Hollywood hates Jesus? Because it’s all sinful nature, it’s “of this world” money, girls, pleasure, greed, promiscuity etc. I went off on a tangent, Jesus Loves You All
buddy want's Jesus to dance for him.
Jesus literally already did show up. He performed miracles in front of crouds and STILL people didnt believe him. This kids argument is invalid
Oh yeah that classic excuse smh
@trevonw67 see, the problem with your kind is that God could literally show up, in person, tell you that he's God, give you literally, undeniable proof, but you atheists are so stubborn, you'd still deny it.
You dont want there to be a God. You want to be so high and might better than everyone and more right than everyone that even if you say undeniable proof of God, you'd claim it to be a magic trick.
@@jimmyjohhn15 did i personally see all that proof? no.
Why should i believe 2000 year old hearsay? the only reason i would, would be either naivety or brainwashing
There are numerous supernatural myths that have an equal amount of proof ( which means almost nothing at all).
Should i believe them as well?
@@trevonw67
Show me you exist
@@missplainjane3905 I mean.........you tryna video chat or somethin? Lol
Here's the thing.
Every time God showed up in a stormy display, people still disbelieved, and still turned away and forgot about Him. He has already shown people Himself over and over and over through centuries, but the same result would continue to happen. Now, instead of doing the same things to have the same result, Jesus will have a second coming, that will signify the End of Days.
Another flip to it, He is everywhere. He even appears before those who do not believe, but they simply don't see Him working, or acknowledge His works, and instead attribute it to other things due to their short sightedness, be it on purpose or otherwise.
To add to that, we live in a day in age where so many things can be faked even visually. There are machines capable of recreating large FX and more so when a recording or is shown that too can be faked. AI can mimic voices of others and to the not-so-observant eye or ear, it is entirely believable. If God were to come in physical form and display Himself, many would still find it hard to believe despite the physical evidence.
Let's structure this in the form of a logical syllogism with premises and a conclusion, then you can indicate which specific premises you disagree with that would invalidate the derived conclusion ........
*Premise one*
The Christian God is said to be morally perfect, loving, omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent.
*Premise two*
Belief in this specific god is required to prevent an eternal torment and attain salvation.
*Premises three*
The Christian God wants all to know of his existence and thus be saved.
*Premise four*
The Christian God would have both the ability and desire to demonstrate his existence to all.
*Premise five*
Almost three quarters of the world population do not think the Christian God exists.
*Conclusion*
The Christian God as described does *NOT* exist
How telling that if Christian soteriology is correct the most important factor that differentiates those deserving eternal paradise and those deserving eternal torment is the geographical location one is born into.
If one is born in Saudi Arabia there is about a 95% chance that you will belive in the "wrong" God and reject jesus and thus receive eternal damnation in a lake of fire. However be born into America and magically there is about a 95% chance that you will believe in the "right" God and thus receive eternal salvation. 👏👏
Allegedly this is the justice of a perfect omnibenevolent omnipotent omniscient loving God. The fact that many people who reject jesus often lead devout pious lives and follow very strict and demanding religious practices with regards to worship, diet, clothing and relationships is not a factor, these people seemingly reject jesus because they *"want to sin"* 🤔🤫 Some live lives of isolation and quiet contemplation taking vows of celibacy and silence but the loving jesus still deems these people unworthy of anything other than eternal torment.
Conversely however a murderer so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed he can spend an eternity in paradise with those he murdered. Unless of course those people also found the "evidence" for your God unconvincing, in which case the murderer would be looking down from paradise on the people he killed as they too suffered for eternity with me 😡
@trumpbellend6717 That makes no sense. There is this God that is loving and just. Much of the world knows of His existence but choose not to follow or study any further. They would simply use a simply cop out or rather just follow some other thing because they find it more favorable to their own desires. This much is true especially for the West.
Those not in the West, also still have the knowledge of Jesus Christ's existence, it is well known in fact. But much of them also choose to deny Him to follow their own thing.
Not that I say there are few cultures that possibly have never received the gospel, but God judges just, and acknowledges these sort of variables in the time judgement arrives for every individual. But remember it is He who determines morality, not us. For if it was only us who determined morality, we would not have advanced this far as a species.
@@OperatorWolfy
Lol so you are claiming that BILLIONS of people just "choose" to believe in the wrong God and those people all just happen to live in the same geographical areas of the world ? 🤭😅🤣🤣😂🤣
@trumpbellend6717 there are many across the world that have spread His word, through so many various geographical areas. Pair that with how modern many nations have become and how connected many have become, it would be more naive to think that most people DONT know of the existence of Christianity, considering it's been an integral part of history throughout the ages along with Islam and Judaism.
Jesus Christ is coming in day, no coming in night.
Day Divine off,, and night Divine running.
God,s massenger status.
All the prophetic the Divine time is over before five hundred years ago. Full lights moon one night Divine time running now by judgment of the God. Divine time accept judge didn't of God. So need Divine time judgment of the God of all the Humans.
