Why I believe the Bible - KingdomCraft 

I don’t know about that one cheif

yea im so addicted to this guy video for some reason

Noooo, I've got stuff I need to do! 😫🤣

Minecraft combo is awesome

My dad is very much an atheist. I'm very much a Christian who follows Christ. He always makes sure to tell me, especially if I'm reading/studying my Bible "You know that thing is full of contradictions right?" The most illogical thing I've heard him say about it is "Eh, all religions are fake. All religions ESPECIALLY Christianity are just used to control people. But the main lesson I all of em? Just don't be a d**k and you'll be fine." I'm beginning he lied when he said he's fully read the Bible.

@@CatThwomper My mom was raised Catholic and I pray for her every day since she had terrible experiences that hardened her heart. She's agnostic it's hard for me to make her try to separate politics from the gospel.

@@BoondockBrony I get what you mean. I actually for a while, started to watch politics, and as the old saying goes "Politics is poison" which couldn't be truer. But we gotta remember that, at the end of the day, God will bring us to do what is right. I don't know if what I've said... typed had helped, but I will keep you in my prayers.

@@CatThwomper Ask him then why did all the original apostles (excluding John, the one whom the revelation was revealed to.) (historically) die for the message of the resurrection. What did they control during their time? Why would they all die for a lie? Was it a hallucination? Were all the 500 people present hallucinating during the supposed resurrection? And if he believes that Jesus didn't exist, then why come there are 30-40 sources outside of the Bible while up to even the late 2nd century there are about 12 sources of Tiberius, who was the caesar of Rome during Jesus's time.

@@CatThwomper Judging from that you dad seems to be a average guy, lots of people see it that way nowadays. If I had to guess he watched Zeitgeist, the film has been watched by many who say that including my dad. Maybe try asking him about it and see how that might tie in to his disbelief, helped with my Dad. I would also recommend watching the film, not because it is good but because it is bad. If you can't take on the claims in the film you need to do some studying (it's okay InspiringPhilosophy who is linked in this video has addressed many of the claims, because those claims are made by internet atheist all too commonly).

Another Catholic here and I share the same sentiment. Super underrated channel

@@xuiotghjhat amen

Same, catholic here who likes his videos

Why do you people claim to love God while rebelling against Him and His word?

@@william44011 How so? Couldn't a Catholic accuse a Protestant of exact same behavior? Turning away from the Magisterium of the Church when that's clearly not (according to Catholics) what the Scripture and the writings of Church Fathers teach

I grew up Lutheran, then my family became Pentecostal.

Also deeply interested in theology

Same.

Do you know any other good channels on theology

Yeah that's funny, I also got an ad as soon as that happened

@@clouds-rb9xt lol

@@clouds-rb9xtme too😂😂😂

regardless if he did it or not, it's not a coincidence. This is one of these things hidden from the foundation of the world, and Jesus DID talk about it. THE WHEAT AND THE TARES. You will be very surprised when Jesus comes!

This is one of the concepts that led me to Christianity.

@@evan7391 that makes two of us!

Totally agree. Verses like that show us how a church is to be run. When you lose the personal side of ministry, your church has issues.

“By small means the Lord can bring about great things” (1 Nephi 16:29)

Finally someone agrees!!!

What? You do know that Goliath was only 6’9 right? The ancient Israelites at the time were very short like literally only five feet according to archeological remains

@@evanevanf4033jesus was 6’1

That part of the video vanished when I tried to watch it...something about the file being corrupted

​@@redeemedzoomer6053 Fascinating stuff, I'm a new Christian myself so I don't know about the nephilim yet, but the part where you talk about it in the video was cut out for some reason. That being said, I would love to hear your views. Thanks again, your channel has answered a lot of questions I had in a logical way.

This needs more likes

Charity is very Christian

Isn't there 73 books in the bible

@@basedchango2172 in the Catholic Bible there are 73 in the Protestant Bible there are 66. Many people have rejected the apocrypha because it contradicts things that were already stated in the Bible for example the book of Tobit says to not marry outside of your own race but that is inconsistent with many characters such as Abraham I believe. Please correct me if I got anything wrong.

@@Hithereitsme32 it wasn't for contradictions it was because the Protestants were trynna save money with printing and to do that they took some books out I think the 7 missing books are extra history or sum I forgot I don't know about the tobit stuff tho Imma look into it

You need all 81, actually.

​@@basedchango2172NO ORIGINALLY THEY WERE ONLY 66....THEN THE CATHOLICS ADDED MORE BOOKS WRITTEN AT THE THE SAME TIME BUT WEREBT REGARDED IN THE BIBLE

She’s the blessed Mother of God. That’s what I think of her as a Presbyterian

It's very sad how little many protestants think of the Mother of God. Like I get not praying to her or using images but they treat Mary as if she was some irrelevant side character, she wasn't.

@@Testimony_Of_JTF she was absolutely not a side character, she is the most important human person as the divine person, Christ, became human through her

@@redeemedzoomer6053 I know you don't think that lol, I was expressing my dissatisfaction with some congregations

​@@Testimony_Of_JTFas a protestant I can tell you that is just not true

I think that's the thing with faith. We have to believe that he's there and God will show himself/the truth to us. It's what separates Christians and the unbelievers, to those will be saved and those who's not. God didn't and wouldnt let everyone without a proof of himself for them to find and believe so they wont have excuses. God gives each of us enough reasons to believe out of grace, sometimes we dont just see. Let's say this, if our path to salvation is "faith", how would we (or enough of us) be saved if God literally shows himself to us from the start, ending up with unrevocable and unrefutable proof? Wouldn't we not be unbelievers cuz we literally just cant not believe? We are to be outright obligated to believe he exists and no one would be getting something good out of that. But that is just my opinion, there should be someone who's better blessed in ability to answer this. Ofc this comment is only good if the reader is a believer. So like I said above^^

When it comes to that point, it's all the matter of faith and receiving it. It can be mistaken as blind faith, sure. But it's a choice to be made nevertheless. "I have taught you in the way of wisdom, I have led you in right paths." Proverbs 4:11 NKJV Whenever you share Christ to other person, He speaks _through_ you to reach said person. God has offered truth to them. It's their choice to believe in it or not.

Please rewrite this sentence. I really can’t figure out what you’re saying

Yea it's completely out of our realm of shit that occurs today with no actual proof of anything that was written by humans it's a set up for ppl to push away

What the heck! You jumpscared me Bread! I was just reading the comments after watching the video and you appeared out of nowhere. Redeemed Zoomer makes the world a smaller place.

That's amazing 😂😁

You have seen the lord’s beauty, and you have embraced him Good job 👏

Same here, this channel has really helped me along my reversion.

Ok, Mariolater

@@xuniepyro7399 Lol sure bro

I thought about it like that: In the beginning was the Word -> Jesus came to us, he called 12 disciples -> those wrote epistles and gospels -> other Christians around them also wrote -> every written document of these people (until the death of the last Apostle -> Ephesians 2:20) we have today, that was preserved by the Holy Spirit, is part of the New Testament. Side Note: The Old Testament was already established since the Hasmonean dynasty. Otherwise 1 Maccabees would claim divine inspiration and not outrightly deny it. -> Scripture in the Old Testament was only written during the time of the Prophets (Ephesians 2:20): from Job to Nehemiah.

@@michaelg4919 The gospels weren't written by the disciples. They were written by anonymous(to us)writers decades after the disciples were around

2 of them were authored by apostles. In addition, St.Mark got his information from St.Peter (with whom he traveled if you read the Bible), and Luke got his Information first hand and from St.Paul (if you read the Bible) @@habe1717

Also, a (not so) quick plug: the orthodox Jews don't do a whole bunch of studying of Torah (the books of Moses); they do more studying on the Talmud, which is an interpretation of the Mishna, which is the "Oral Torah" they claim God gave Moses at Mount Sinai along with the written Torah. They don't see Jesus in the Tanakh (Old Testament) because they're: 1.) Not all that familiar with the Tanakh itself, 2.) Are trained to not see Jesus in the Tanakh 3.) Don't actually know much about Jesus. There are various examples of these. For not being familiar with the Tanakh, they often argue that Adam and Eve were doing God's will by eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, because God's purpose for them was to go down to the lowest world and bring it up to heaven. The Garden of Eden was too good, and so they needed to bring sin into the world so the Jewish people could persevere throughout history until the World to Come, where God establishes peace on earth through the Messiah. Or how they interpret Moses as doing the will of God by sinning in the wilderness in striking the rock instead of speaking to it, because his punishment was to die with his people in the wilderness, and thus when the resurrection happens, Moses will be raised and his entire generation with him because he died with them. They often also say that King Ahaz was a good king, and when he refused a sign from God, it was because he had so much faith in God that he didn't need a sign. They are also trained not to see Jesus in the Tanakh. Every passage that has a clear reference to Jesus, they understand it in the most abstract way. Isaiah 53 they say is about Israel, even though Isaiah is clearly marking the suffering one as dying "for the sins my people." Daniel 9, which predicts the death of the Messiah, they say is about the Priestly line being cut off when the Temple was destroyed. Isaiah 9:6, which calls the Messiah "Almighty God," they say it is the Almighty God naming the Messiah the Prince of Peace. Of course, there is also "The virgin shall conceive" and "They pierce my hands and my feet", which really do have fascinating studies on their own in the Hebrew. Those passages I think both sides have a more honest view on. But the main thing is that Jews really don't know who Jesus is, and this is for two very sad reasons. The first is because Christians have been absolutely terrible in how we've treated the Jews over the last two thousand years. Jews don't want anything to do with us. The second is that their rabbim are very intentional in keeping Jesus from the discussion amongst the Jewish people. They only talk about him when one of their congregants has questions about Christianity, and then they jump to the most uncharitable depiction of Jesus and Christians imaginable. It is now in the age of the internet where young Jewish people can lock themselves in their bedroom and study Christianity without their parents or Rabbim knowing, that we're seeing a mass wave of Jews coming to faith in Jesus, Yeshua, as His name is in Hebrew. But this is not just true of Jews, but Muslims also. The internet is enabling Muslims to research Christianity away from their parents and Emams as well. To close, I want to give some advice to people interested in Jewish Ministry. First, be careful, considerate, and compassionate. History has given them good reason to distrust Christians. Don't say the name "Jesus" or "Christ" very often. Yeshua is His Hebrew name, and Messiah (or Moshiach) is the term in Hebrew. "Jesus Christ" is associated with the holocaust and the evils that have been done to them by Christians. Similarly, don't call your ministry a "Crusade". Be careful with the image of the cross, as is seen as a banner of conquest. Just be considerate of their concerns. But also be wise. Their Rabbim have kept Him secret, and they are very antagonistic against Christianity. They will assert their authority over Scripture because they know Hebrew, and they received the full Oral Torah in addition to the Written Torah, but their arguments may not always be honest. Keep this in mind, but remain gentle; don't call them out, but don't be swayed. Don't let them convince you that you need to keep Kosher or celebrate the festivals, -you are a Gentile in Christ and these are not mandated for you, but be willing to keep Kosher and join them in their festivals as a testimony to them (for many Jews themselves do not do these things; how compelling is it when a Gentile to whom it is not required does?). If you believe in Replacement Theology (that the Church has replaced Israel) or any form of Hebrew Israelism (belief that "my people", the ___ race, are the true lost tribes of Israel, and that the commonly recognized Jews are an imposter), then I pray God will convict you of this belief or else keep you far from Jewish ministry (or Jews entirely). Ultimately, be humble and a servant, but firm and steadfast in your beliefs. Jewish/Christian relations are very sensitive, but I am optimistic for the peace I believe God is building between us. Do not call them "Christ killers", or accuse them of killing Jesus. Above all, love them as the Chosen People of God.

Than why is it that according to the Septuagint, Dead Sea Scrolls and Josephus all put Goliath’s height at “four cubits and a span” instead of the more recent, Masoretic version’s “six cubits and a span”? There were still mistakes and mistranslations albeit small ones

Are the Protestant churches in Northern Ireland more conservative than the churches in GB? You mentioned that the Methodist church in NI is separate from the rest of the U.K. church but I was curious if that was more of a general thing in Northern Ireland, that all of the churches tend to be more separate and conservative. Not a Methodist myself but my grandmother who is a Methodist has a transgender pastor, not sure they’re really sticking to the bible.

@@Valencetheshireman927 Yes! Largely so, there's obviously a few progressive ministers/rectors even priests but they are predominantly more conservative in Ireland for all four major churches (Methodist, Presbyterian, Church of Ireland ((Anglican)) and Roman Catholic). The Church of Ireland is kind of like the autocephalous churches in Eastern Orthodoxy where it is in communion with the Church of England but not totally bound by it. Presbyterian official church is also totally separate and unique to Ireland. Roman Catholics in Ireland Will obviously have different emphasises than in other Catholic nations despite being in the global church. It will also depend on location usually with more metropolitan areas having more liberal ministers, though most city churches, as well as big churches with large immigrant populations from Fiji or certain African countries etc tend to be conservative too. The most liberal churches would be independent non-denominational ones like the "Non-Subscribing Presbyterian church" which has no creeds so Unitarianism and pride flags etc could be common, though just as possible to be Ultra conservative.

If you’re a good person, you’ll go to heaven. Problem is, nobody is good except Jesus. We can’t say for sure who is going to hell, we can only say that faith in Christ is the only PROMISE of salvation

I believe you’ll be judged according to what you’ve been exposed to. So when the evidence that Jesus is Lord becomes sufficient, if you accept him, you will be saved. If you don’t, you will be given what you want and sent to hell where you can compete with your new neighbors to be your own God.

In an objective sense, literally nobody on this earth is a good person. The only way not go to hell is by God forgiving your sins so that he sees you as good and blameless, so that you are fit for heaven, because not even one sin is allowed in heaven. And the way that that God forgives us is through the sacrifice Jesus did on the cross, which finally enabled everyone who believes to have eternal life (heaven) which is what John 3:16 says

God is the only truly good thing, therefore doing a work not for the good of God is not spiritually good, but rather what modern day calls good. The modern day "good" refers to works that are helpful to other humans. But for a work to be truly good, it must be in representation of God. If you give money to a charity because you want to be "good" you are not doing a good work but a helpful one. If you give money to a charity because you believe God wants you to do it, it is a good work because it is glorifying God's will. Therefore, there are no truly good people, since the human nature is to do helpful works instead of good works. Second, doing good works does not necessarily make you a good person. We are born into sin and therefore are born a bad person, because sin is bad and we are sinful. Every human has broken the majority of the 10 commandments(God's law) and therefore are defined as a bad person. Which is why we need to be saved and forgiven by God to enter his kingdom, otherwise we would be sinful people entering his kingdom and God can not tolerate sin. I hope this makes sense, I tried to make it simple. God bless you brother!

This!

I am VERY interested on his view on Sabbathitarianism.

If evolution isn’t true than why did God give men (human males) nipples?

Really interesting analysis, thank you. I think may people make too big of a deal of trying to paste together genealogies. It’s awesome to realize that they can be both accurate, but incomplete, even by design. As you mention with the 4 sets of 10, that’s also interesting. I’ve personally been learning recently how the scripture, OT especially, is structured in many ways to aid with its memorization in a primarily oral culture. For example, many of the key numbers used are significant and easy to remember, like 40. It’s not an exact, to 3 significant figures measurement; it’s actually more than that. It’s an approximation meant to demonstrate and draw your attention to something important. So the fact that these genealogies have a set length between key characters really seems to fit this. I also think this is worth pointing out because I’d never thought about it before until my friend told me, but these genealogies can serve an important purpose for translating the bible from dead languages, as names tend not to change much between languages. Just cool to me to think “why is this included, especially if it’s confusing or incomplete?” Well, maybe it’s a part of God’s plan to provide for the continuance and accurate translation of his Word. My main thing to take away from this personally is remembering that things we read in the bible like numbers and genealogies are accurate but not necessarily exhaustive.

@@evanevanf4033 Hehehe. Good question XD

@@timothysullivan1669 Goliath was six foot nine and Mary was thirteen years when she gave birth to Jesus sorry these are just historical facts

@@timothysullivan1669 Aha! Yeah, that is a good point with the oral tradition. It fits well with an idea I already had which is that the people in the period when the Bible was first written down had a very different relationship with literature in general. I mean really: what is more interesting to an ancient Israelite from the Iron Age? That the patriarchs became super old and had children at incredibly advanced ages (both things associated back then with divine blessing) or that the numbers can be used to calculate a chronology to do... what exactly? It's not like they had the knowledge of past periods of history that we have now.

No, that's Nestorianism

@Redeemed Zoomer glad to hear it. Why, then, do you think the written Word can be separated? This appears to be what you're saying when you say some people can stduy the Word but not really be studying the Word. Or did I misunderstand something?

I respect that there are people who want to understand the Bible and God before they jump into faith. I am a Christian and I think that we should absolutely question our faith. Ok maybe not faith, but what we believe and why. Because maybe we're wrong. And I've questioned different aspects of my religion and how we worship and the presence of evil and how true the Bible is and in what manner. I love questioning. I honestly feel like my faith grows stronger the more I ask questions. Sorry for the ramble, I just found this channel and I'm excited. Hope you have a great day!

I agree with you for the most part, his view is influenced by his Calvinist beliefs.

I came to Christ in a similar fashion, though I still have doubts. I realized that nihilism was an illogical cope resulting from industrial sterilization. So I looked into Stoicism with the concept of the Logos (the logical principle of reality). It made me realize that the ancients weren't down on shrooms (at least not most of the time) and were actually trying to figure things out.

Same dude, I became a theist through logic. I was a deist, which means I believed in a god, but not a theist god. But by analysing the historical documentation of eyewitness testimony to the ressurection, I became convinced of Christianity.

He’s wrong on some stuff.
