Why follow a 2000 year old book? Suppose it were written this morning, by a team of the wisest people on earth, and contained no teaching dependent on a particular time, culture or technology for its truth. It spoke for itself as superlative wisdom and revealed divine truth. Would you follow it? How about tomorrow? Next week? Next year? How many years would it take before timeless truth and wisdom were no longer timely? Timeless truth is, by definition, timeless.

The bible is a book of claims, not a book of truth, from god created to god died and rose again is all unevidenced BS, there has never been and never will be one that can prove or disprove that such claimed entities of gods exist, gods by all known evidence are the creations of men, that's ALL GOD's. That a human being any human being , call him jesus, or what you will no human being after being killed can return to life, creation , resurrection as stated in the bible, made up of many stories, most written by no one knows whom,and that includes the supposed gospel testemants, are claims without any sourced,verified, corroborated by any known to have existed persons by that same criteria, of factual historical evidence of anything but man made fairy stories, a book cannot prove itself when without known authors, and the bible has none that ever actually evidenced any god and that includes the supposed Jesus. The only ones that believe such BS are the indoctrinated from birth and groomed throughout their formative years, the ultra gullible, the absolute desperate that cannot cope with the realities of actual life, Christians are no different from one addicted to smoking, drugs, alcohol, they are in the capture of the mind benders,

I really enjoyed the genuine demeanor, intellectual honesty and consistency of the first guy. The goal of apologetics is not to convert you on the spot using fancy words, it's to get you to give a genuine look by appealing to your mind, God does the rest. All you have to do is give it a genuine look, God Himself will show you. But He actively hides the truth from those who are not genuine, which is why they live all their lives questioning but never getting answers and end up being frustrated hyper skeptics. 'The gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.' The second guy however, seemed to be in atheist kindergatten. Where the narrativeis everyone who is religious is just an idiot who can't think for themselves. Where they have never really met an apologist . The last guy, was a treat for the mind.

Job is argued to possibly be the oldest biblical cannon but much of the exact timing is up for debate. Some think maybe it was written by Abraham. This is all why the dead sea scrolls were such a big deal. Biblical scripture dating back to the capturing by the babylonians.

A common excuse/apologetic tactic is saying that the OT only condones "Indentured Servitude." This is VERY wrong!!! The definition of Indentured Servitude is: "Indentured servants were not paid wages but they were generally housed, clothed, and fed. The rights to the individual's labor could be bought and sold, but the servants themselves were not considered property and were free upon the end of their indenture (usually a period of five to seven years)." *note: Indentured Servitude does not involve a person being considered as "peoperty"... Now, contrast THAT definition with the following verses: Exodus 21:20-21 says, “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their PROPERTY.” Eek! Does that HONESTY sound like warm and fuzzy, harmless "Indentured Servitude" to you? God, I hope not. But, again, it's okay and expected for an ancient book to have some barbaric practices compared to our modern standards. So, I just think it would be nice if Christians educated themselves on the atrocities, as well as the niceties, and simply owned it and admitted it was man's thinking of the past and was wrong 🤔 Some additional verses: Exodus 21:2-6 When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever. (Yikes! This is HORRIBLE). And... Deuteronomy 20:14 But the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves. And you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you (this is hideous! Barbaric TO THE MAX).

The other equally important task to determine whether Jesus really lived, died, was resurrected, and was in fact the living embodiment of God Himself is to ask Jesus Himself if he can show you the Truth of these matters and direct you by way of the Holy Spirit, this wonderful counsellor He told us he would leave with us to minister to us in all the ways of God and His intent for us. It is by giving our lives to Jesus, accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour, and asking the Holy Spirit to minister to us that we get the understanding we need which 'surpasses all understanding' by which we used to 'know' in the secular way. The darkness can't understand the light. This isn't a put down to people who don't know God, but it means that the understanding of the Truth (Jesus) can't be known by the darkness (those who don't know Him, and refuse to seek). Ask, and it will be given. Knock, and He will answer you. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free).

Amen Preachhh Brother. Why should you follow Christ and His word the Bible? Ask God, if you exist show me who you are? When God show’s you believe Him. John 8:12 “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

It's bizarre to see how strong the pattern of misconception and lies is among students, how many have continously claimed that the Bible says "slavery is fine". Anyone who reads the book for themselves knows that isn't the truth.

The last guy using 2D and 3D to explain God being more informationally rich since he is beyond 3 dimensions explains God really well. Of course no book will contain everything about God, but He reveals parts or Himself to us by His choice and His timing. Also, I still think God is even greater than a 4-dimensional being. If you can find videos explaining what a 4-dimensional being can do in our 3-D reality, you'll get a glimpse on how God can do anything. All Powerful 🙏

Ask yourself this question? Why would a god even leave a book, of all things, to people in the Middle East to relay his message to us? If god can do anything, he could have thought up something more reliable and useful.

Just KZread the videos of hundreds of Muslims and people in the Middle East who have encountered Jesus in their Dreams and visions. Even while in prison. God reveals himself to all of us in some way and his perfect justice always allows someone to accept or reject him. The Bible says that his truth is “written on our hearts” so that on the day of judgement, none will be without excuse. Why do you think God allowed you to stumble across this KZread video today? Out of all the billions of videos, you commented on this one after the truth has been revealed to you! So you’ve now heard the truth and I encourage you to seek it out and ask God to reveal himself to you. Sincerely ask him and he will!

CS Lewis had questions like these young mens’. Read him, particularly “Surprised By Joy,” and “Miracles,” in that order.

Also Jesus WAS NOT a Jewish carpenter, he was described as a Tekton which is a Greek word that "commonly" translates to carpenter in a place and time when most buildings are built from wood but the ACTUAL meaning of the word is builder and in that place and time everything was built from stone. Jesus was a stone mason, there is a lot of Geometry in Stone Masonry. The oldest Christian holy book on the planet was found hidden on Mt Sinai and it is called "The Codex Sinaiticus (Greek word) and it is written in Greek. It was hidden because like anything else that had to do with Greek beliefs and history they feared it would be destroyed by the Romans like Solomon's Temple or The Great Library of Alexandria.

I think a more appropriate question would be "Why do Christians worship Jesus when he was not God, Worship ONLY God." Jesus was not a carpenter, that word didnt even exist in his time, tell me he made tables all you want, that would make him a wood craftsman, not a carpenter, we carpenters build structures. Jesus and his father Joseph were described as Tektons, which is a Greek word for builder, in a time, place and culture when all structures were built from stone. He was a stone mason. Why was Greek word used to describe Jesus and Joesph is also a better question but the answer is simple, he was Greek.

Gregory, with all due respect, you are incorrect. If you study the Bible you will see that Jesus fulfilled numerous prophecies, prophecies that were written hundreds of years before He was born (especially noteworthy is Isaiah chapter 53, allegedly written some 700 years before Christ's birth). On top of that, the Bible tells of historical facts and people that can be traced back through archeology (look up "Mount Sinai" and "The Split Rock" to see how events in the Old Testament still carry evidence today, most prominent work was by Ron Wyatt) and through historical accounts (e.g. Josephus and Tacitus among others). And finally, you cannot deny the radical transformation that happens in people's lives when they meet Christ through the Holy Spirit. Miracles still happen today, but you gotta look for them. The most miraculous thing that happens is that the Gospel has the power to transform a human heart, in a way that he receives a heart of flesh, a heart of love and humility, where before that he had a heart of stone, self-centered and carnal. If you're brave enough, you can look up deliverance videos where evil spirits are cast out of people (you can say they're acting, but having gone through deliverance myself I can attest to it being 100% real). I recommend Isaiah Saldivar's content, for example this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKCj1qyOpLesn6w.html If you want to encounter the living God, you first need to humble yourself and say "I don't know, but I want to know" and seek Him with your whole heart. He promised to reveal Himself to those that seek Him (Jeremiah 29:13: You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. ) God bless.

Christianity isn't perfect but God is, you watch Cliffe he mentions how Christianity has been used to justify evil things like slavery, which is why some people have this mentality that the Bible supports Slavery when it doesn't. Because you disagree with Christian stuff doesn't mean you don't follow God. The religion can be used to influence people's subjective beliefs. I can tell ya some parts of how Christianity is flawed today, greed, money. Some make you believe that if you donate to the Church you are doing good by God, incorrect ! The Bible strictly says the way to God is Jesus, The Son, The Savior. In other words I'm trying to say is Christianity has been used and is still being used by people to get their way. Twisting God's word for your own personal gain is EVIL, GREEDY, SELFISH. There is good Christians and bad Christians, it is flawed because people are flawed, we are imperfect, if you get behind the Bible and Jesus you are getting behind GOD'S WORD. The Religion Christianity isn't connected by God by himself, itself, herself (how ever you view God as), we humans made the religion, and titled ourselves "Christians". Jesus did not point at us and say, YOU WHO FOLLOW ME SHALL BE CALLED CHRISTIANS. He simply said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." TWISTING THOSE WORDS is what some "Christians" have done for self gain. I believe Cliffe wants to separate himself from that evil because being called a Christian to some will group you in with people who have done bad things in God's name (which I'm not for sure if that is Cliffe's reasoning, if me or you ever meet him we will have to ask Cliffe ourselves). Which I respect but, in this world, in this body, you cannot separate yourself from evil. We will only be separated in death once we are out of this sinful flesh and are with The Father. Hope I cleared this up for you, 3 months and no one responded so I'm sure you might of forgotten about this comment or strived for your own answer. God BLESS !

Some years it's moral ambiguity and other years it's topic X. Just a few years ago at Texas State, it was weird....almost every other question was about homosexuality. So topics come and go, but amazingly, no matter which University and which year, the topics generally stay the same within a very small range. That's why I would imagine Cliffe wrote his first book "Give Me An Answer" because he kept seeing the same questions over and over and over again.

Yes... but there might very well be a distinction between religion and truth rooted in reality. What do you believe?

Exactly. Religion is fantasy because religion is man trying to find God. Christianity is God trying to find man. This is what many people in Rome and Ephesus tried to do with the gold and silver idols they had. They worshiped the creation instead of the Creator. We read this in Act 17 when Luke wrote, "Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship-and this is what I am going to proclaim to you."

@@nabukwe agreed. I would take it farther. Dont even worship christianity. Its man made and driven. People have done evil deeds in the name of christianity. Search for God. Search for the creator. Search for truth. Search for Jesus christ. Search for the only answer that is left standing. The only answer that seemed Impossible. Just maybe. Either that or denial, illogic or pessimism.

@@bond3161 I don't think anyone would recommend worshipping Christianity, at least in that video. In fact, that would be kind of weird. To "worship" means to "ascribe ultimate value to something". People all worship something or someone, e.g. money, themselves, pleasure, status, fame, etc. So from a Christian standpoint, there is only one thing (or in this case a person) worthy of ultimate value, and that is the Creator God.

I thank the Lord for men that are so patient. Dealing with such ignorance/arrogance is very difficult for me and I pray often for an increase in this so that I could be of better use to Him.

Is skepticism in the unsubstantiated claims of resurrection _necessarily_ a sign of ignorance and arrogance?

It doesn't say slavery and killing is fine.thats why it's important that you read it for your self. The word of God is alive. And every man and animal that's ever lived will bow and confess he's king to the GLORY of God the Father

When that plane landed on the ocean in NY years ago with NO fatalities, that was a miracle, not pilot skill. I was healed of an incurable diease, I know that is a miracle, etc,etc,etc. God performs miracles all the time. He keeps us from dangers seen and unseen. If we Knew all the dangers God kept us from we would be paralyzed with fear. God keep on keeping me. In Jesus Name, Amen

"When that plane landed on the ocean in NY years ago with NO fatalities, that was a miracle, not pilot skill." To look at it from the other side, when the planes crashed into the ocean and kill all those on board God was saying "Screw You!!" " I was healed of an incurable diease, I know that is a miracle, etc,etc,etc" Well if you were cured then clearly it wasn't an incurable disease. But I would love to hear about what disease that would be because there will be write ups in medical journals in that regards. Now that I asked if you dodge then we can claim you are lying. I will present the other side of that to show, my sons 12 year old classmate died of cancer, according to you God said "Screw You!!" to a 12 year old. God performs miracles all the time. God keeps us paralyzed with fear." If that is true then God is screwing with free will and free choice.
