The research done for this is absolutely amazing. You have a God given talent. I will share with members of my family and friends. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Be sure to look up and share his Cold Case Christianity videos, too. I see SO MANY people who are clueless about how evidence works, and there’s a LOT of evidence for Jesus and His resurrection.
This talk starts to get really good about 30 minutes in. If God wanted to come to earth He could not have chosen a better time than the time of Jesus. Most open the world had ever been while still having the most religious competition possible to prove all the falsities as such. Amen.
Absolutely incredible truth. Thank you for concisely and intelligently collating all the Truth of Christianity and presenting it so eloquently and with a passion delivered by the Holy Spirit within you. Our God is beyond amazing and His light shines on everything this world has, as He created it. I pray that those who don't follow the one true God will listen to this fantastic presentation and see the absolute truth in it and come to know God through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ,who is the Light and the ONLY true Way. I believe in His Truth because I breathe His oxygen and I hear Him through scripture and see His beauty. I experience His love and the peace and hope daily. I feel the Holy spirit and the joy it brings. Nothing moves me more than this. God is here for all and we must love one another enough to spread the hope and the message as best we can. God bless you sir and the great work you are doing, in His name.❤
All I can say is....well done good and faithful servant. Unbelievable. I'vE already told my life group ladies that we will begin this year's lessons with a COLD CASE teaching. So excited to share your commentaries with my girls. Thank you Jim for all the hard work you have done and still doing.
I’ve been sending this video to everyone in the past couple years. Especially ppl who say Jesus didn’t exist. I send them this link. I think when I seen this video it was around 10k views.
Hello from France 👋 Amazing incredible monumental work of research 😱💖🥇. Contending for the faith This has done more to put a serious dent into" Christianity bashing " talk than anything Ive ever heard✌️
Minor correction. Zarathustra (Zoroaster) was a prophet of Ahura Mazda, the Lord Creator, the Supremely Wise, who is the Hebrew God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Zoroaster wasn't considered a god himself, and Zoroastrians don't worship fire. Fire symbolizes the Holy Light of the One True God. Zoroaster was one of the prophets of Cyrus' time, centuries before thebirthofChrist. Zoroaster was the son of the man who took in his 17 year old mother after she fled warfare in her village. She wasn't a virgin. She became a wife to the older man who took her in. This is difficult history, because so much propaganda has been written against Zoroastrianism. Cyrus is in the Bible. It was because of Zoroaster that Cyrus made the Abrahamic God the one God of his empire. Cyrus was reading the Hebrew prophets, and he realized that he was the chosen one to send the Jews out of bandage in Babylon to rebuild the Temple. Zoroaster was a man, not a god, and there was no virgin birth in his story.
Thank you so much for your work in this area. Peter taught in Acts 2:38 that those people who had believed in Jesus needed to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins, ( No baptism and no forgiveness). That baptism was in water as is seen when others were taught about Jesus and knew the needed to be baptized in water ( Acts 8). The fact is baptism of the Holy Spirit was never commanded it was a promise it is not what Peter was talking about. There are many today who claim they have faith in Jesus yet deny this act of faith is necessary to be in Christ( Galatians 3:26-27); not unlike Satan who made Eve doubt what God had said. I believe this teaching to be clear and hidden by the blind who lead the blind. If you hold to that teaching it is my hope that you will repent and teach the truth, no matter the cost in loss of popularity you may suffer. As the Lord said, take up your cross and come follow me.
Revelation 12:11 ESV - And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
He has all authority from god. Its why jesus can do everything he does because of the father. Jesus isthe son of the living god and is his expressed image but not god almighty
talking about the father of Science, not all Christians are Christians right? in my daily live, i’m also surrounded by Christians but i know most of them don’t really believe in Jesus. Christianity became almost like a vague status on their identity card.
The image of something is not the thing itself, that's why it's called an image. Read and understand, don't just make things up in order to try and harmonise Scripture with a misunderstanding of what the words mean. The Messiah is the Son of God, (John 20:31) he is not God the Son. Man was made to have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:28). Therefore the man Christ Jesus will return in order to establish and reign over the Kingdom of God here on earth. Thus the will of God will be done on earth, as the prayer requires, when the whole earth finally comes under the rulership of the Messiah, a man sent by God to sit on the throne of his father David, who ruled from Jerusalem. READ AND UNDERSTAND ! ! !
Really? What other "gods"? What other (than Jesus) "dieties"? Mythological gods and dieties are just that, myths which are no more that figmatic fixations. I find the whole segment of comparison of their attributes to Jesus pointless. Apostle Paul perfectly and clearly articulated that very subject in the Book of Acts (chapter 17).
Over 30,000 changes were made, of which more than 5,000 represent differences between the Greek text used for the Revised Version and that used as the basis of the King James Version. Most of the other changes were made in the interest of consistency or modernization. Because the New Testament was originally written in Greek, not Hebrew or Aramaic. Greeks did not use the sound sh, so the evangelists substituted an S sound. Then, to make it a masculine name, they added another S sound at the end. The earliest written version of the name Jesus is Romanized today as Iesous. Revision of its text began as far back as the first century BCE. Fragments of the Septuagint were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls; portions of its text are also found on existing papyrus from Egypt dating to the second and first centuries BCE and to the first century CE. The Bible is Very Badly Written. We Know from History and Across the World that People Cannot Even Agree what it Says or Means. For about a Millennium People Interpreted it Literally and Concluded it Supported Slavery and after that Decided there was a Different Interpretation and it Didn’t Really. Any God Worth Their Name Would Have the Power to Write a Book that Everyone Could Understand. Any God With Any Sense Would Realize that Human Beings Were of Finite Mental Capacity and if They Really Did Want to Write a Message for all Mankind Would Write a Book that Everyone Would Recognize as the Word of God and Understand. It Makes No Sense at all for God to Write a Book Which in Practice has the Net Effect of Confusing Everybody About Something as Basic as Whether “SLAVERY” is OK. If The Bible is Intended as Moral Guidance it is Demonstrably and Indisputably Badly Written and So Not Plausible as the Word of Any God Worthy the Title. The Bible is What it Appears to Be. It’s an Eclectic Collection of Writings and Stories Mixing Historical Fact with Supernatural Fiction Written Over a Thousand Years Ago by People Who Weren’t Even the Most Enlightened People of Their Time and By Modern Standards were Spectacularly Ignorant. Sorry If You Can't Understand This it's Not My Problem... “If You Think You Know Everything, You’ll Never Learn Anything,”
Just for the missionaries info, jesus never said "I'm God or all should worship me" Jesus never attached an inch of divinity in him in any of his speeches and he clearly proves God is someone else and he is someone else Jesus clearly says "My God My God" "You the only true God" and "I'm a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God" All these statements of jesus proves jesus is openly admitting he is a human and god us someone else
29:10 "...does that make sense?..." How many times has he asked this now? I know of only one other person who uses that expression...profusely. Lee Stranahan... a disciple of Breitbart.
You really need to find friends…even just one. Oh, sorry…a “friend” is a person who likes you and doesn’t live with you in your mom’s basement. Maybe take a walk outside? Oh, sorry…”outside” is that huge place that surrounds your mom’s house. Lots to do out there! Being an atheist keyboard warrior is a lonely business and eventually eats away anything that’s slightly redeemable about you.
Catholicism is literally Christianity. You must've not read much about the History of Christianity. It became Roman Catholicism when Constantine made it the state religion of Rome. Then Martin Luther came along and Protestant was created which part ways from The Main Christianity.
@@thewatcher3100 You need to do some research. Christianity was not created during the council of Nicea in the 300's ad. The gospels were written early first century. Jim states that over and over.
Catholicism developed from Christianity, and while it's not biblical anymore today it used to be in the past - at least _more_ biblical. Many Catholics are actually just born into the church and don't even know much about the Catholic dotrines. I personally hope that most Catholics know very little only, because the less they know the higher the chance that they're not going to hell.
Selling books and making advertisements of "Now at a low price for a limited time."? How Christianity has fallen to become a marketplace for merchant sellers.
51:50 Read about the (unsuccessful) coercion of Thomas Paine on his death bed. Then think of Pascal: "Even if there isn't a god, why take the chance?" Is that scientific? Are those guys on his list?
I like what you preach but not all math sciences came from Christianity, literally explain the pyramids with out math because you cant tell me that Jesus came before the pyramids same with fishing
It's all about men. And all that hero-worship - it's ugly. What is real and beautiful is nature. There is no solo male god. It's simply a story, a story for children. When you grow up you know that we all have influence on everything and everything on us. But we keep looking at this solo god. Nothing works on its own in nature.
I thought I was alone in this thread. It is mind numbing to contemplate how we managed over 200,000 years as a species living with nature then some fucking buildings and a transformation in how the world's existentially terrified went about soothing themselves subconsciously just streamlined all that is now a days... Extremism is I think the bottom of all our problems as a species. Extremism makes that which it magnifies dangerous and/or deadly. Anyhow before I get to ranting .. nice to see a fellow nature loving human who is disgusted with the patriarchy. I was watching Genetically Modified Skeptic and this came on the continued playlist so I wasn't planning on the sea of people praising Jesus. Bit overcome with wanting to rip my hair out and saw you. Thanks for existing!! 🤘❣️
Darwin was training to become a clergyman. Perhaps his theology wasn't any worse than anyone else of his time. Yet that of most scientists often deviated from the mainstream. Darwin technically was a Christian. As was Sir Isaac Newton. But when you get into theology itself, that's where the 'us' and 'them' fallacy falls apart. You always move the goalposts in defining exactly what a 'Christian' is, see how this works. It even boils down to whether or not YOU are or are not a 'Christian.' Wesley didn't take the issue lightly.
32:45 "...the red zone...": Try this thought experiment. Do the same analysis taking a completely different set of circumstances and outcomes that produce the same red zone. Plot that one vertically. Do it again on a 45 degree angle. Do it again on a 135 degree angle. Do it again and again and again. It's not that hard to do. Then take something that produced his red zone and remove it. For example, remove Romulus and Remus. Poof. No Rome. Poof, none of these other attributes. Is he telling you his god needs the creation of Rome component for his case to work? Self delusion is a powerful tool.
57:00 "...I didn't show you the impact had on literacy...": Show me a single instance, not (so-called) documented in the bible, between 0 BCE to 300 BCE. None exists...none! Without Constantine, Jesus doesn't even show up in a footnote.
@toddmarshall7573 You seem to be very intelligent and well-informed. I am certain that you can find the information if you want. But, do you want to accept truth that contradicts your preconceptions?
The story of Jesus, the wandering Jewish end times preacher who was elevated to godhood in a man made narrative written over the centuries by believers.
Your willingness to remain ignorant is astounding. I suggest you pull yourself up by the boot straps, and put in the work of research to see why your accusation is 100% impossible.
A lot of this said are inaccurate and comes from a bias view of point. And when the lies are spread out just to support his ideas, it causes more damage to religion and push away people from God. Jesus is a prophet of God. God created Jesus from the virgin Marry just with the will of God. We should only worship the only God almighty، the eternal and all knowing. Jesus never governed a state or was married or had kids, he was only there to keep the law of jews that was deviated and changed by the jews.
19:02 "...it's like he's saying ...you people...": In a talk like this you really shouldn't have typos in your slides. Do you suppose this is this presentation's maiden voyage?
35:00"...he had a couple other predecessors...": Yeh, like Copernicus 100 years before...and Bruno. And BTW: Jesus was nobody until Constantine chose to make him the central character in his story.
59:15 "....if you just looked at the buildings...": Tell me about what you see in the buildings in China...say up to 1,000AD. Not a bit of christian influence is there? Yet there are some really old and significant buildings...not to mention the sculpture and carvings on rock faces. They actually look like things found in nature. You can't say that for art found in the same period under christian influence.
58:50 "...and you can construct the history of jesus just from hymns in the first 300 years...": Cite a single hymn written in those 1st 300 years...a single one.
After the Bible was available to common people he church was no longer a means of control by the corrupted because they could read that relationship with God was entirely through Jesus and not through a church organization
from Dr James Tour to you sir Wallace... i thank the Lord GOD so much for this... ur just like Paul... former enemies of GOD that now speaks testimonies about Jesus... Luv you both... i pray for the day that all people with like minds like ours be united in one place... Gazillion thanks to the Father that opened our hearts... luv from Phillippines... From Member - Church of GOD International ... by Late Bro Eli Soriano... ❤🎉
The Bible is true, The earth is the center and in the book of Enoch explains all the luminaries (planets) going through portals also sun and moon. The truth is always stranger than fiction.
Amazing talk. Jesus truly is Lord! … This should be taught everywhere to orientate everyone to the impact that Jesus has had on the world as people try and ‘air brush’ / retcon Him out of history. Those Christian fathers of science (who gifted the modern world with the framework of how to study Gods incredible creation) would be stunned to find out that it’s been hijacked by ‘philosophical naturalism’ and that they would now be most unwelcome, ridiculed and shut out of the fields of enquiry that they started … 🤦♂️🤔😕
Great video and such a beautiful and on point presentation. I am also a scientist/engineer but I believe in Jesus and I am christian, but I never knee all this. Thank you for your extraordinary effort to get all this information and put it in a presentation. We can see that the truth and Holy Spirit put your soul to search for God and that you invested a lot to find the truth and share with us.✅
List of virgin births: There were 100's of virgin births around the world before jesus. Virgin birth (more strictly, virginal conception), in the proper sense, is differentiated from other miraculous births in that it is birth from a mother who is a virgin; and no male seed in any form is involved. Thus a birth resulting from artificial insemination of a virgin would not be classified as a virgin birth. Similarly, asexual births involving only a father, such as Athena's mythological birth from Zeus's forehead, would similarly not be classified as a virgin birth under this definition. Many alleged "virgin births" in ancient mythology are probably more accurately described as "miraculous births", since the mother is understood to have been impregnated by a god in either his own form or in an assumed form, as when Zeus impregnated Leda. For example, the births of Buddha, born from married parents, Krishna, the eighth son of Devaki, and Mithras, formed out of solid rock, were miraculous births, but were not the result of virginal conception by a virgin. Christianity *Jesus: The founder of the Christian faith was conceived, according to the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, in the virgin Mary without a father through the Holy Spirit (see virgin birth of Jesus). This virginal conception is often confused with Mary's Immaculate Conception from her parents. (Jesus is the story of Ra the Egyptian sun god) Egyptian religions *Mut-em-ua: The virgin Queen of Egypt, supposedly gave birth to Pharaoh Amenkept III through a god holding a cross to her mouth. *Ra: The Egyptian sun god, was said to be born of a virgin. (Ra is the story used to bring about Jesus) Hinduism *Krishna *Karna Assyrian and Babylonian religions *Tammuz *Zoroaster *Tukulti-Ninurta II *Ashurbanipal Greco-Roman religions *Alexander the Great *Antiope: Antiope was seduced by Zeus and bore him twin sons, Zethus and Amphion *Attis: Attis was born to the virgin Nana who got pregnant after eating a pomegranate. *Auge *Dionysus: *Melanippe *Mithras: Mithras was born in a cave, to a rock. *Romulus:Romulus was born to Rea Sivia, a mortal Vestal virgin. Chinese tradition *Genghis Khan *Lao-Tzu Buddhism *Gautama Buddha: Buddha was conceived to Maya without sexual activity. tories sometimes interpreted as of virgin births. (DO THE RESEARCH... JESUS IS JUST A RETOLD STORYS, AND HAS NO TRUTH) “If You Think You Know Everything, You’ll Never Learn Anything,” “No amount of Evidence will Ever Persuade an Idiot.”
I am curious for those who hold to the idea that the bible is a historical document: Do you feel like a non believer should be bible stories purely on the basis of historical evidence?
It couldn’t be the evolution of a story could it? Take the blinders off. If Jews are “god’s chosen people” And Christian’s believe Jesus is the only way to heaven. Yet Jews do not believe in the biblical stories of Jesus?
Prophet Jesus Christ never identified himself as a Christian or the founder of a new religion and that religion be called Christianity and Prophet Jesus Christ never preached any concept of Trinity, original sin, his sacrificial killing or personal divinity or sonship with God In essence, Prophet Jesus Christ never preached any of the components of Christainity but these components were all added later on by the detractors of Christ like Paul and company Therefore, Christianity is a hoax and against the Christ himself as Christ never authorized any form of Christianity
Jesus also spoke like the other Prophets when he said "The lord our God is one" and also when jesus said "the only good is God and why do you call me good" When jesus said "I'm the truth, way and life" he only meant he is the role model, guide and example for his people but still not a divine being or God incarnate
The concept he is discussing reminds me of Isomorphism as a concept. In Godel Escher Bach, Hofstadter explains isomorphism as a map between structures that map parts with similar purpose to similar purpose. What I understand from reading chapter II of GEB, Meaning and Form in Mathematics.
The Shroud of Turin is the most studied artifact of all time and scientists still cannot explain it. Evidence overwhelmingly points to Christ but if you're looking for 100%, there's no such thing. I could also point to the Universe and everything as physical proof for God....and Jesus is God.
Prophet Jesus Christ was a Hebrew/Aramaic spoken Prophet of Almighty God who was empowered with miracles and his message is not Christianity but the message of Islam in a different language Prophet Jesus Christ never claimed any form of divinity ir son ship with God but only claimed to be a Prophet and a human being like all of us Prophet Jesus Christ always differentiated himself from God as 2 separate beings
57:35 "...see if they painted Jesus...": Show me a single instance where anyone painted Jesus before 300 AD. How could so many Jesus likenesses exist when not a single original exists? If he was so great, why didn't anybody sculpt him? Somebody sculpted Caesar...during his era of influence.
Just like every single circumstance in the earthly life of Jesus, his appearance was understated and actually described hundreds of years ahead of his incarnation by one of the Old Testament's prophets (Isaiah 53:2).
@@googleuser8036 Believe one myth, what's to keep you from believing another. Look at all the people who think Biden is president of the USA. None of them know that WTC7 fell down... let alone why.
33:55 "...this is every prominent person in the 1st century...." Really? Every one? Ever hear of Caesar? Is this an oversight? The defense rests its case. You can get to the ending of any story if you start with the ending. Further, you can get to that ending with a huge number of unrelated, semi-related, and amazingly correlated steps. It's the story teller's choice. Indeed, in 53 BC, Cleopatra had fled to Syria to escape from her brother, Ptolemy XIII, who reigns over Egypt. Julius Caesar (then consul of Rome) saw this war as an opportunity to seize the eastern lands of Egypt. The need for both was reciprocal.
