In this video I will discuss how Christianity is the only religion, or worldview, that deals with the major problem of humanity... SIN.
This is a short presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Simple question who Wrote the bible because the torch and quran state their authors and Matthew mark luke Jhon aren't there real names even in the old Greek MANUSCRIPTS they can't find an author just notes from Priest and saints they Claim to pick from Seventy gospels to make up the thirty seven gospels of the original new testament so who came up with the gospels and what happened to the ones that didn't make it and who came up with These gospels please do your research with a grain of salt

@@dougboy2856 You have to understand two things. First, the original Gospels no longer exist in it's entirety. Don't forget, they didn't exactly have laptops and the internet where data could be transferred from place to place, person to person or stored in it's original format. Nor did they have anyone who could proofread and verify the contents. They were mostly letters written to a very large audience and it took a while to gather these letters and write them down as a form of codex. Also, a large part of the original writings were translated, often with grammatical errors, word associations unique to one particular language, and of course a healthy dose artistic license including omissions, additions and exaggerations, then re-translated into dead languages and again re-translated back, and this caused a lot of deviations from the original script. Not to mention parchments have a very short shelf life and we don't even know who the authors are! It would be best to consult the surviving, original manuscripts found in museums and academia, such as the Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Alexandrinus Codex, Vaticanus and correct the modern Bible back into what is was meant to, such as the NIV or the CSB. Versions such as the TLB and GNT are rife with errors. Second, the Gospels in print as we know it are much younger than just from around 50 - 100 AD; they were slap-dashed together by Emperor Constantine and the bishops of Bithynia to counter the threat of Arianism which threatened Constantine's control of the Roman Empire. He knew Christianity was on the increase, and so to side with the winning team he declared Christianity as the dominant religion, and also negating the genocide committed by early Christian fundamentalists, Conservative Jews and pagan followers that threatened his credibility as a ruler. Then in 325 AD, to consolidate his power, he convened the First Council of Nicea where the first, modern Bible was created and the rest is history. So naturally there is the issue of the time frame and Gospel content, and luckily scholars have worked hard to sort this mess out.

What other religions have you been studying? Hinduism invented snakes and ladders to show you have no control over your life and regularly play it during the spring festival to remind themselves of that fact. And catholicism, a form of christianity, has the whole "through works not by faith" thing. So even christianity is not immune from trying to do things through human power.

Your testimonies resonate with my own prayer time and inspire me as I begin to expand my evangelism to youtube as well. The hurdle I face is the temptation to go it alone, yet another excuse to isolate at home on a computer all day. I do have the encouragement of my pastor and church elders, but I need to somehow make my efforts here a collaborative one or else fall into a trap of vanity and isolation. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated as I try to keep my channel to God's glory and purposes, not my own while not ignoring my real life neighbors.

If we believe we are not good and are sinful, we will act accordingly. If we believe that we are gods (as Jesus clearly said), we will act accordingly. It's all about self-perception. In my experience as a counselor, if someone sees himself or herself, as a criminal...they will act accordingly. Therapy involves, in part, changing one's perception of one's self. Sin is not "being dirty." Sin simply means, "missing the mark." Fundamentally, we are good. God doesn't make junk. But we goof from time to time, missing the mark. Divine power and love help us learn so that the truth can set us free.

For me it's three things: Firstly, coming from a background of various faiths, including the occult, Christianity is the only lifestyle that actually works. Call it experience. I say lifestyle because that's what Christianity is, it's the only faith where a deep, intimate relationship is made possible by the Grace of God and by the sacrifice of Jesus: you don't get that with other gods. And that brings me to the second point; if you study all the other faiths with their gods, these gods are abusive, always either angry or horny after virgins, cowardly in their bullying tactics, narrcistic megalomania and bloodthirsty, they don't care about humanity so long as they get adulation and applause from us humans. God wants to have a relationship with us and not rituals, traditions and other religious nonsense that does nothing other crowd control. Third, Jesus commands us to be accountable to both God and to ourselves, not just after death, but here on Earth where it really matters; the other gods only worry about their own appetites. Jesus paved the way that offers us reconciliation unto the Father rather than us trying to please God by our own flawed methods, because that's what got us into trouble in the first place! And unlike other gods, the Holy Spirit is sent to guide us in spirit rather than a long list of rules that are more harmful and pull us away. By the way, as someone who was a secular humanist and staunch atheist, your assessment towards atheism was, to be respectful towards my former colleagues, rather accurate! Nicely done, because believe me, I was taught to think in a way that made as much sense as trying to hammer a square peg in a round hole!

We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone. When a person exercises true saving faith, they are born again. When a person is born again, this produces a transformation. The works that come from this transformation are NOT meritorious of salvation in ANY way, but rather are the evidence of the born-again experience. This is the gospel of grace alone.

My problem is the concept of the Original Sin. And how God is capable of removing this "Curse" so to speak but chooses not to. So anyone who has sinned needs to be dealt with in a horrific way, but at the same time he's so Powerful but he doesn't want to remove this curse. People MUST suffer. It sounds like Propaganda and that's why its so hard to accept. If it is true I hope you can see my point how the main preaching of Christianity comes in the way of "Put faith in this guy or you will suffer'. Nobody truly knows till we actually die, any human claiming to know the complete truth with no doubt would be ignorant. In fact vast majority of Christians I've even conversed with have never read any other religious text, or they like to watch RU-vid videos on Muslims as these are the common rival of Christians when it comes to debate and they read a verse out of context and just go " Yeah I knew this book was evil".

Every single one of us chooses wilfully to sin. We are not without excuse. The only way that we could stop, as if God made us robots. That is not the answer. But God did provide the solution, which is salvation through Jesus Christ. He gives us something better than justice, and that is mercy. No one is going to be eternally separated from God because they didn’t believe in him. People will be eternally separated from God because they have sinned. By believing in him, a person can be free from the punishment that they deserve. It’s like a person is already drowning in the ocean, God is reaching out his hand to save them. If the person reject this, God is not throwing them into the water, but that person is choosing to remain in the water, where they will drown. I don’t accept the opinion that no one can know the truth about what happens after death. This itself is simply an opinion. I ask the question of who is most reliable to give me the answer to what happens after death, or if we can know. The one who is most reliable, the only one who is reliable, is Jesus Christ. He fulfilled numerous prophecies, written hundreds and thousands of years before he came to the earth. He historically rose from the dead, proving that he is God. I trust him to tell me the answers. We don’t need to read every other philosophy written, in order to discover the truth. Just like with anything else, when we find something is reliable, we can put our trust in it. Jesus Christ has proven himself reliable, as I mentioned above. But, having studied other religions and philosophies, there’s one thing for sure. There is no other text that has proven. It’s divine origin, other than the Bible. Fulfilled prophecies have validated this. There’s no other person in the history of the world who claim to be God in the flesh, and backed it up by historically rising from the dead. I would encourage you to explore the truth of these things further. There’s a really great channel called “Testify” with some really great evidences for the Bible and the resurrection. Are they good channels include “Cross Examined”, “Give Me an Answer”, “Daily Dose of Wisdom.” God bless you, and thank you for your comment. Matt 🙂🙏

I'll have a look into the fulfilled prophecies, I only know what I've heard from others. Such as "they say this is a prophecy but it isn't" And in regards to Jesus Christ being a real person. Sure I probably can say I think that's true, as for raising from the grave I'm not so sure. As well as the miracles. I say this because Christians like to point out the over 500 eye witnesses as proof, bars in mind proof with the eyes are ultimately the best proof for anyone. But there's people in third world countries who have been able to arguably fool way more than 500 people, take TB Joshua for example.

When it comes to the big questions no Christian has an answer because they don't actually know, either that or their answer is not anything even from the Bible its usually just a guess or their own opinion, I notice they are all programmed to question a question and always use analogizes to answer everything. Stuff like why does Jesus even have to put this Curse onto Adam to begin with, it makes no sense why he would even create the human race knowing we are all going to sin in the first place. If I got together in an era with no electricity or any form of internet with a bunch of people and made a book claiming to be inspired by God and spent years of our life planning it perfect to make it look as though it cannot be contradicted or have any mistakes. You'd probably still believe it. The new testament is so short too, the fact it Lines up with the old testament is not surprising, as the old testament was the first book.. Thanks for listening to my comments, I do wish I could seek answers but I just find it all hard to believe, if I told someone I lived in the belly of a fish for 3 days and nights I'd be sent off to a ward for a mental assessment.

"He [God] has to punish sin. He can't let evil off the hook." Where does the Bible say this? It doesn't. It is a false presupposition. Jesus did not enable God to forgive. Jesus showed the horror of sin - the perfect Son of God hated and crucified, even by the religious crowd. Jesus helps us release sin, turn from sin, and to God and righteousness. God forgave people in the Old Testament: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and WILL FORGIVE their sin.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and YOU FORGAVE the iniquity of my sin.” Psalm 32:5 “Their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant. But he, being full of compassion, FORGAVE their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. For he remembered that they were but flesh.” Psalm 78:37-39 “YOU FORGAVE the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin.” Psalm 85:2 “LORD our God, you answered them; you were to Israel a FORGIVING God, though you punished their misdeeds.” Psalm 99:8 NIV “Who is a God like you, PARDONING iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.” Micah 7:18 “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly PARDON.” Isaiah 55:7

That was 1000 years before Jesus.

@@lionoffireraw Biblical sacrifices within a covenant are gifts. “‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the GIFT that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the GIFT or the altar that sanctifies the GIFT?” Mat. 19:18-19 “So if you are offering your GIFT at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your GIFT there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your GIFT.” Matthew 5:23-24 Atonement and sacrifices are to be understood as relational/covenantal, not legal/contractual: “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” Psalm 50:5 God punishes those who refuse to stop sinning. He does not punish the sinner who gets right with Him. “But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has done and keeps all My statutes and does justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22All his transgressions which he has done will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has done, he will live. 23Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares Lord Yahweh, “is it not that he should turn from his ways and live? 24 “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, does injustice, and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his unfaithfulness which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die. 25 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ Hear now, O house of Israel! Is My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right? 26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, does injustice, and dies because of it, for his injustice which he has done he will die. 27 Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has done and does justice and righteousness, he will preserve his life. 28 Again, he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had done; he shall surely live; he shall not die." Ez. 18 "God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 IF he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready." Ps. 7
