KingdomCraft: Why is Christianity the correct religion? 

As an Atheist myself, I can assure you that nothing he said was even remotely convincing, and almost everything he said was completely wrong. Plenty of religions, if not most, include instances of Gods revealing themselves directly to humans, and many include human avatars of Gods (e.g. Hinduism, Ancient Egyptian religion, etc) - and that's just for his first point. I discovered him recently with his video on the differences between Christian sects, and started watching his other videos because I'm very interested in world religions and I wanted to hear what else he had to say. Unfortunately, he seems to understand absolutely nothing about other religions and completely lacks self-awareness, which is sad given that he seems to have a deep wealth of knowledge about Christianity. I think he's letting his personal biases get in the way of his philosophical arguments, and he certainly does not understand anything about any other religions outside of Christianity. Even though I'm not a theist, I certainly like to understand other peoples' viewpoints, but I haven't found anything of value yet outside of his history videos. I've heard better arguments in favor of Christianity from other Atheists lol

​​@@blakejhonshen2710 his videos do make me think but alot of it kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth.cant say what he being honest about and what he overreacting to. apparently everything none Christian is woke. I could be wrong and change my view but I'm still thinking

Yo , i can see your point there

@@blakejhonshen2710I would recommend watching inspiring philosophy almost all his arguments are objective

The point of the video was not to prove that Christianity is real, but why it is better. As he said, he already gave his proof for God in a previous video, so he didn’t detail it here.

I agree, but I also think that it is the logical conclusion that you come to if you don't subscribe to moral relativism. Under an atheist view you believe that we are just the random result of some cosmic accident and that we are only a product of nature and natural processes. Under this view you can not make a solid argument for morality at all. If someone believes that we should kill the homeless because they aren't helping society, you would probably inherently say that this is wrong because humans have an innate value regardless of how poor they are. But under an atheist view, you really can't argue that your views are superior to the other views because they are simply following the natural selection process which you believe to be natural order of things. You know that what they are doing is wrong, but the only logical way to come to that conclusion is to concede that there is such a thing as right and wrong in the first place. If you truly believe that all morality is relative and based on your experiences, that in itself is relative and based on your experiences, so there's no way that you can make that argument. Where you go from there is uncertain, but you must conclude that either: 1. All morality is relative, and there is nothing morally superior about your beliefs when compared to those that you find to be evil. (This means that chaos, tyranny, genocide, etc. are fine because morality is relative.) 2. There is such a thing as objective morality, which means that we humans have done serious evils. (This basically leads to Christianity.) Important to note that while you could make the argument that humans as a whole have done serious wrong, it is less easy to make the logical argument for all of humanity's inherent evil. With this in mind, I believe that any religious choice is not based on logic alone. From what I understand of Islam they believe in relative morality, which again, relativizes itself. I probably articulated this poorly, but I would highly recommend the book The Reason for God by Tim Keller. It goes over a lot of the logical questions for belief in god, and also gives the Christian answer to these questions.

@@iamishin7675 This was actually really insightful and intelligent. I appreciate it bro.

@@iamishin7675 Morals are not relative in Islam, who told you this?

@@iamishin7675 "1. All morality is relative, and there is nothing morally superior about your beliefs when compared to those that you find to be evil. (This means that chaos, tyranny, genocide, etc. are fine because morality is relative.)" That really threw me back to a Brazilian video from a small channel called Brasileirinhos, which quoted Dostoevsky saying: *"If God doesn't exist, everything is permitted."*

25 million sex slaves around the world but “sin” is a christian problem only LOL. Open your eyes.

yeah and almost all polytheistic religions when he said christianity is the only one where god came down to us humans instead of humans tryong to reach god. I dont think i have to tell anyone how many myths there are of gods coming down to earth and intermingling with humans

@@hanoord9412 yh but he meant it in terms of saving us because Jesus came down to save us where usually in polytheists and pagan religions the gods coming down is to meddle with humans for some less good reason . There are probably exceptions however

@@sloppysloo8263 vishnu has descended many times in many forms to save mankind

@@hanoord9412 Hinduism right ?

@@sloppysloo8263 yes

Majority of historians agree that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ happened. This evidence is very easily accessible online and it includes things like Jesus’s tomb, a crucified foot, journals, scripture, eyewitnesses and more. Jesus has an empty tomb and while many Roman’s declare that the disciples stole his body, over 500 people claimed to see Jesus at one time, with a variety of other accounts. The disciples were willing to be brutally killed for them saying this. The reason why this is different from other religious related sacrifice, is that the disciples were willing to die for something that happened directly to them. It’s kind of long to explain so I suggest you look for evidence if it really interest you. Regardless, it will all seem crazy if you don’t make an effort to know god, so try and speak to him and know him. God bless!

@@toproductions3931 huh if only most historians weren't Christians

lol chrisitnaity founded the modern faculties of science .

@@groundzero5708 Nope, Muslims invented the scientific method. European Christians simply helped create formal institutions. But even if that WERE the case (which is isn't) that doesn't mean anything, unless you now believe that Islam must be more true than you previously believed because they had the first large universities. Also, that comment is entirely pointless. How does that have ANY relevance to the falsifiability of the resurrection?

It’s actually the hardest because God can’t just forgive you your sins because in Christianity every Sin means eternal Death. While in other Religions he just can. But that’s unjust. It’s like a Bank giving you a loan but you don’t have to pay it back. So Christianity actually has the harshest view on sin. Christianity is just the fulfillment of Judaism with Jesus being the Messiah. And the Messiah is supposed to carry the weight of our sin, as you can read in the Old Testament especially Isaiah. So you are right that we don’t have to “earn” salvation because we simply are not good enough to go there, whatever we do, that’s why we need Jesus. We can’t “earn” it. But Christians still have to try to be the best they can but we don’t rely on that. And I think every Religion tries to prove they are the one true Religion not just Christianity.

It's not an accurate description of anything lol. He's just claiming his personal beliefs are absolute fact. I know Mormonism is extremely strange theologically (and don't even get me started on the culture), but it *is* a branch of Christianity because they follow Christ. Just because he doesn't think what they believe is "the most important aspect of Christianity" doesn't mean it actually is the most important aspect of Christianity and certainly doesn't define Christians as a whole.

@@AmazingFit bro that was back in college i had no choice 😭

@@blakejhonshen2710 Mormons are not Christians as they do not adhere to the core beliefs of Christianity.

Mormons follow Christ, if by Christ you do not mean Christ. To be a Christian means, among other things, to accept the Trinity. Mormons explicitly reject it.

@@thekatarnalchemist No, that's your personal opinion. The word Christian means "follower of Christ." The simply don't believe Jesus was the person you believe he is. Just because a bunch of humans got together to define something that wasn't explicitly stated in the Bible (seriously, the trinity is more of a read-between-the-lines thing) doesn't mean they're not Christians. That would be like me saying someone isn't American because they vote Republican or something; disagreeing with someone doesn't change their objective identities.

This is precisely why Christianity is so untenable to me as a Muslim. No person living in a jungle tribe in Africa, or a nomad travelling a desert for example is going to naturally come to the conclusion that God is: "the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made." They would, conceivably, come to the conclusion that God is one and a creator however, as Hayy ibn Yaqzan describes. Trinitarianism just isn't natural, it isn't logical. Simple monotheism (tawhid, in Islam) is.

@@nanashi7779 Hey someone else whose read the book! This marks the first time in my life that I've brought it up and someone knew what I was talking about. Also I agree with you that monotheism is the logical conclusion when contemplating God, but I believe the trinity often trips people up because at first glance it seems to not be monotheism. The big thing to realize, and I'm sure I'm not telling you anything new or thought provoking, is that the Nicene Creed was written to combat heresy and form a more united community pertaining to what the Orthodox way to practice Christianity is. It is not the key conclusion one would come to when contemplating God, that instead would be the gospel. While I know some denominations would hold strong to the idea of biblical inerrancy, holding firm to the idea that the entirety of the bible was dictated to the authors directly from the Holy Spirit. For the most part, we as Christians believe that The Bible was compiled more than a century after the death of Jesus and took several popular and circulating accounts of the life Jesus and compiled them. In a since The Bible is more of a library than a singular book so what is important from this is the story it portrays. That we, by our very nature, are sinful and there is no way for us alone to atone of that sin since God needs nothing from us. Therefore, it is only by the grace of god and his manifestation in the flesh that we are able to be forgiven. So after that entire short essay I finally got back to my main point that this is a belief that you can reach much more logically than contemplating the mysteries of the Holy Trinity. This we can only know to be true from what has been given to us by the bride of Christ, the church. This was such a short explanation that it borders on heresy and would love to talk more about it if you're interested. Also props to you as a Muslim for engaging in this space and looking for information in sources you might not even agree with! It's always nice to see people from different upbringings seek the truth that is God.

@@nanashi7779 yes that is true but thst is why Jesus came down to save us and why the Catholic Church is so important because Jesus spread the good word and the message of God and the church continues that preaching of the true faith and the core principles

@@nanashi7779 That's why we have missionaries. They can come to a general belief in monotheism, but we as Christians tell them the whole story. And to you statement of no one naturally coming to that conclusion, once Christianity has been explained that way, nature affirms it, even if you couldn't come up with it solely from looking at a tree.

​@Nanashi well yeah it doesn't make sense, because you're adding theological details to the Christian claim but purposefully omitting Muslim theology to make the Muslim claim seem more basic. It's really not. The trinity may be hard to grasp, but the idea that rationalizing or understanding the nature of the Islamic God is just as impossible. If you said instead that either both religions posit God as One being or essence or nature, or you included that the Islamic God was revealed through a final prophet that affirmed all the other prophets, including Jesus even though the previous revelation contradicts this final one, Islam would make WAY less sense to someone who knows nothing lol. It's all about framing, and you intentionally framed your example to make Islam's teaching make more sense when in reality it doesn't.

@@AmazingFit Hahaha... avoiding it I see. Try to read better. Im not a native speaker and as the person that made the video mad dumb questions I didn't give much about my writing. So... are you're just avoiding the answers? Lol

Your grammar is horrendous!

I think this guy understands what it means as a definition. He's just pretending that idea applies here when the thing he's talking about is not, on the whole, falsifiable. Parts are; we do have historical evidence for some things in the Bible. But the resurrection? No.

There are litery eye witnesss acoaunts in religios and NON RELIGIOS books bro about the resurection plus you cand do your reserch bro and find The books bro, also their was a video recomanded to me about eye witnesss acoaunts of Jesus resurection but i don't renember the name of the video but it dosen't take that long to do a quick search on RU-vid for the video,glad i could help God bless you(i mean it and i like beingkind) may you have a wonderfull day!​@@georgeandrews1394

​@@groundzero5708leave him. He thinks his good works can save him meanwhile he can't count how many times he's lied

I can give you 4 reasons that the resurrection that it did happen

@@fa1509 That doesn't make it falsifiable, and how many of those reasons are just "someone said it happened"?

Exactly man. God is an incomprehensible being that we can’t really understand the true nature of. Yet a lot of Christian’s still try to comprehend him. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t make sense to me.

I explained this in the reply section of the top comment as good as I could @TimeRainbow206

I mean the comment with the most replies

​@@someanimeguy4722 Christians don't think they can fully understand God. If God could fit in our little heads, he wouldn't be the God we think he is. We think we can understand certain aspects of him, though. And certainly we think we can understand enough. That said, I'm just browsing comments; don't know what he's said in the video but it seems even Christians don't think his talking points were particularly effective here :P

​@@someanimeguy4722yeah, even though we christians may seem as if we have a complete understanding of god, in reality we don't, we try to explain certain aspects of god through what we believe was divinely revealed in the bible but really he is beyond comprehension, the trinity is a perfect example of this and why I think it is more logically plausible than an unitarian god, because it is not understandable but at the same time logically follows the characteristics of god, if we are unitarian beings and expect god to be superior to us in all aspects, why shouldn't he have the ability to be multipersonal?

Salam brother well said

Indeed. I would add to the first point that the Bible says Man is created in the image of G-d, so it's reasonable to say that man can connect with G-d without G-d becoming a man. I feel like to justify this point man and G-d would really have to be diametrically opposite to one and other, but if that was the case it would be impossible for something to be both G-d and man.

Other religions also have prophecies that have been fulfilled

@@xXWesterlingXx Like which?

@@westerncentristrants525 islam predricted skyscrapers, When the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about the signs of the Final Hour, one of the signs he mentioned was "when you see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.”. When asked to elaborate further, the Prophet (ﷺ) said that they are from the Arabs. Hadith #2924 p. 43, the fall of constantintonople, Abu Qateel said, "We were with Abdullah ibn Umar (r.a), and he was asked, “Which city will be conquered - Constantinople or Rome?” 'Abdullah (r.a) called for a box to be brought, and he removed from it a book. Abdullah (r.a) said, “While we were (gathered) around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we were writing, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: ‘Which city will be conquered first - Constantinople or Rome?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The city of Hiraql (Heraclius) will be conquered first’ - i.e. Constantinople."'

@@xXWesterlingXx I'm back from vacation. 9/11 was not the first skyscraper to fall, it could mean a variety of things. Tall buildings have fallen throughout the ages. And the other things about disease and mass homosexuality has always been a thing. All the verses you mentioned were vague and could anything.

A few centuries later, a Persian king named Cyrus really did do it. Just one example.

Playing Minecraft is no more “blasphemy” than drawing a picture

Nah, that wouldn't be blasphemous. Minecraft if anything is a tool he uses to communicate his message. For example I create animations on my channel and I use my animations to communicate my biblical messages. But it is in no way by intention to create a world of our own where we can be our own God. It's just to help get visuals while communicating a message.

People in Minecraft dont intend to make Adam and Eve. They just want to build

@@saucyswipe and even if someone did, it’s a video game. They’re not actually making people in real life.

That's like saying making music, drawing, taking a photograph, or even cooking is blasphemy. God created us and everything we are capable of. We use our God-given knowledge and curiousity to explore those gifts given to us and do things with them. If humanity had that mindset, we would have never accomplished anything worthwhile.

Because we have sinned against God and we actively sin against God and unknowingly, our sins affect us and others negatively. God is fair and just, and without a solid standards God would be no better than us. That is why Paul states in Romans 6:23 “the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” God coming down as flesh and dying in sacrifice for us is the grace and the solution. God is not A hypocrite so when He says the punishment of sin is death, He comes down as Man and dies for your sins.

Yes, most of the points in the video are just reasons why Christianity appears preferable to this guy, not why it's necessarily more correct than other religions. It could be that God exists but doesn't even care about humans in the slightest, and therefore humanistic categories such as "good" and "evil" don't apply, just like we don't care if animals commit adultery, etc. People prefer a religion that promises them an important role in the creation / some sort of closeness to god, even though it's just as possible that we are merely a by-product of processes that exist for a whole different purpose.

I advise reading Peter Kreeft's Handbook of Christian Apologetics. He answers all of these questions and more in there.
