    You can only truly understand who you are in reality by looking into the mirror of the word of God. For instance, you then realize that you are not a good person? Why? It's because we all the sinful nature inherited from Adam. We are all responsible for breaking God's moral law. So if ALL HAVE SINNED, then not one of us can justify ourselves before God. Therefore, God didn't make you a sinner. You are a sinner because you have sinned. "As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10-12) This is why you need the Savior Jesus Christ. "For He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21) This is the wonderful good news of the gospel !

    @@christophergibson7155 Yeah, well, like I give a sh*t currently about the moral system of Deuteronomy 20:13, 21:11, Judges 21:14, and 2 Samuel f***ing 24:16, mate. Also, ever heard of Mahavira? Guru Nanak, or Siddhartha? Or even Confucius, or even - Voltaire? Many of who just got on with things. And sin BEGAN IN Heaven. It just popped UP one day out of NOTHING, or possibly bad angelic design. Now - why could Satan revisit heaven... EVER, or keep any powers? And who cares what some demented, deranged being, thought of Job? And his 'replaceable' (spit) family. Also, who sits out a blood libel, upon medieval Jews, a slave trade lasting 127,000 times the period it took to accuse, sentence, and eliminate Achan's ENTIRE family, in Joshua 7:24 - or Korah's, in Numbers 16:28 (ages of many, unknown) or to eliminate one man gathering firewood on Sabbath, in Numbers 15:32? And the thousands eliminated, by plague, for being counted in a f***ing census, in 2 Samuel 24, who David unsuccessfully pled, for? A few chapters after he pled, for the life of Bathsheba's INFANT son - who passed away, by implied curse, over an entire, d&mn week? How - heroic, that was? How... merciful. Now - go and fulfil John 14:13, maybe, thanks? As Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Torque-freaking-mada, NEVER got asked to fulfil - or establish their, outward, credentials. And He chose to conceal Himself from humanity, by default. Nobody forced Him to. No angel got hidden from - even the nutty ones, suddenly unhappy or suicidally proud, in heaven. Nor making 'choices' to 'fall' an entire species under a 'glass darkly', and other things that eventually drag Romans 1:20 (which FAILED oftentime, in the angelic realm, too) into being a ropey, incomplete mess - today. Thanks. Also, Matthew 17:20? Use it well - a lot of starving Africans, might benefit. Just stop coasting, though. All of your querulously, schisming, squabbling myriad selves. Seeking tax exemption, and then political leverage, and media ones - too. Also, saving a narrow pathed, predestinated group of not 'natural men' isn't necessarily fully impressive. Maybe also intervene on blood libels, Inquisitions, and slave trades - next time. Or else maybe people might think gathering wood on Sabbath, or hiding loot, is more 'detestable' on the cosmic scale, say. As they got direct divine attention - seemingly. And clear communication (an increasing, rarity)

    during a church service i attended when i was still pretty young, the sermon included the topic of inherited sin. i learned that my parents had to sin to make me, and that meant that i was born as a sinner. on the car ride home, i asked my parents about heaven and hell. their answers for what it would be like were contradictory and unsatisfying. i asked how long forever was, and they told me that it was a greater length of time than i could ever imagine or comprehend. then i asked, "so i'm going to suffer forever after i die because you had to sin to make me?" and my parents said, "maybe. god has already decided who's going to heaven and who's going to hell." i asked how he determined who went to hell, who went to heaven, and they told me it was pretty much just up to god's will, that it didn't matter how good or bad a person was, and that i wouldn't know where i would end up until i was facing my judgement. my mom told me that she wouldn't be able to miss me if she went to heaven and i went to hell, because she would be too wrapped up in the praise and worship of god, and said god took away all pain and suffering, including the pain of mourning or missing someone important. "you'd let god send me to hell?" i asked. "if it's his will, i can't stop him." in one conversation, i figured out that their god was a monster, and i was too old to believe in monsters anymore

    In response, there are several things you mentioned: 1) if it was “all fear and guilt” for you, then I’m sorry but that means you’ve failed to grasp the heart and meaning of the gospel. 2) Your mention of heart and hell in the same sentence is clear evidence that you have not understood what Jesus of the gospels is all about. 3) Fear is a real and legitimate experience - not a dirty word. If you can’t deal with fear you are hiding from reality. As a human you have to have a viable and existential answer to fear. If fear is the only thought that comes to you in reading the gospel (if you ever have), then it’s gone completely over your head. 4) For you to write what you have written it means you are unaware of the the experience of receiving the overwhelming love of Christ…..something that happened to me at age 24.

If you didn't have the fear of god put into you, consider yourself lucky. Guilt... Think about a church that tells people sex is sin, when people are naturally sexual beings, or one that says gay is evil and wrong and sinful and you'll go to hell for it what do you think that does to a gay kid or a trans kid? Not all churches are the peace and love and fluff experience you seem to come from, think about the vast difference between the god of the old testament and the jesus of the new testament and that both are supposed to be two parts of the same being, that is how much this religion varies from a wrath of god religion to a peace love and turn the other cheek religion.

Man: Thanks God for the freedom of choice to choose if I want to eat from the tree of knowledge of the good and evil, but I think I'll disobey you and eat from it anyways. God: I love you, that's why I gave you free will to choose me, "the tree of life" not the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which leads to death.

I'll send my one and only Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Man: We don't care about your rules, we want to be our own gods and do what we want. We don't want to be saved. God: Have it your way I will not force you to do anything against your will. I created you to be a loving companion of mine. Just remember, this is never the way it was supposed to be from the beginning, I wanted you to be with me, but of your own free will, not as a robot, who is programmed to do exactly as you want, because you can't show love that way, and you were meant to be free. Man: Gets sent to hell for the sins he committed against God and rejecting his one and only Son as his punishment for his sins and says, Why God?, why? this is not fair, please help me. God: Fair? Fair? You wanna talk about fair? Did I not warn you from the beginning, that the moment you disobey me and eat from the tree, you shall surely die? Yes I did but you didn't listen. Did I not send my one and only Son as a sacrafice for your sins and all you had to do was believe in him and you would be saved? Yes What more could I have done? for there is no greater love than one who lays his life down for a friend. And that's all I wanted to be to you is a friend, yet you continue to reject me. So just know this like I told you in my word, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior." So if you end up in hell after all my warnings, and me wanting to save you, it'll be of your own free will, that you went there. I didn't send you there, you choose to go there on your own. Man: Why can't you just let me do, what I want, whenever I want, however I want, and to whom I want, without consequences? God: You've just described me, whom of which you despise.

    THIS is the essence of something I have been trying to say to people for years. A Tri-omni god creates the preconditions for what sin is and how it is forgiven...so that god could decide how forgiveness is earned. It falls apart right there. One of the most shocking things (by the lights of the people I was talking to) I ever said to my church before I left was that I didn't want someone else to be responsible for my mistakes; I was comfortable being held to account myself for anything I did. I have never done anything so awful I felt like a just god would condemn me forever for it. I can't wrap my head around the idea that any transgression, no matter how minor is a "stench in the nostril of the lord" equal to murder. It doesn't work. Now, I just go with this: “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” - Marcus Aurelius.

Who is the foundation for all moral values by which we can say this is wrong and this is right. Before the one who is morally perfect. The creator of all things. Wrong has no place with right. Evil has no place with good. Sin has no place with God. It is an impossibility for a sinful(evil/wrong behaviour) being to be with God(complete goodness) for eternity. Sin needs to be removed for that being to be with God. But we are fallible and finite beings incapable of achieving moral perfection on our own - as to atone for ourselves in such a way to be made right with God. This is why Jesus came. To do what we couldn’t, so that by simply trusting in him we could be made right with God. He came, he died, and he was raised. There is no other name by which you can be saved.

    That's because false religions come from man and from Satan. Christianity is not a religion, it is a change in a person brought about by spiritual rebirth from God, hence the name "born again Christian." A "CHRIST" ian is a person who has been spiritually born again by God sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within them from the moment that they honestly accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, who loves Jesus Christ and believes the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible and has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior Who died and resurrected to pay for their sins for them, and tries to imitate Jesus in their life, pure and simple with no religion in the way. They have a personal on-on-one loving relationship with God through reading the Bible and praying to God and knowing God in their heart and spirit, not just in their mind.

ALL DEATH AND SUFFERING IS IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OF SATAN AND SIN. GOD IS LIFE, HE IS THE CREATOR OF LIFE. SATAN BROUGHT DEATH INTO THE WORLD. JESUS CHRIST (GOD ON EARTH) DIED AND RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD TO DEFEAT SATAN AND ETERNAL DEATH FOR US, TO GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE RECONCILED WITH GOD. AND, IF GOD HAD NOT FLOODED ALL OF THE EVIL OUT OF THE WORLD , MANKIND WOULD HAVE SELF DESTRUCTED A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE MAN HAD MADE THE ENTIRE WORLD A THEATER OF EVIL, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, IF GOD HAD NOT STARTED MANKIND OVER AGAIN WITH EIGHT PEOPLE, NOAH AND HIS FAMILY, THEN YOU I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY, WE WOULD NEVER OF HAD THE CHANCE TO BE BORN (HAVE LIFE) AND TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRISTS GIFT OF SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE. SATAN AND SIN ARE WHY we are currently living temporarily separated from God, but all people who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior Who died and resurrected from the dead to DEFEAT ETERNAL DEATH for them and to PAY FOR THEIR SINS FOR THEM, will be FORGIVEN of their SINS and have ETERNAL LIFE reconciled with God. See how that works? Do you believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Have you ever read the entire Bible?

    I recall going to sunday school with my aunt, uncle and cousin whilst I was staying with them. I wasn't raised religious and was always encouraged by my parents to ask questions if I didn't understand something growing up. I was ten years old the first (and only) time I attended Sunday school. It all seems baffling and illogical so naturally I wanted to ask questions about what was being taught. Within 10 minutes, I was asked to stop asking so many questions (I was curious but polite and respectful at all times and raised my hand until I was prompted to ask) and I was moved to another adjacent room and given some colouring books and crayons to use whilst they finished up with the other kids. I always felt that was highly suspicious.

If it's community service, you might be able to perform it on someone else's behalf if they're not checking identification. Jail sentence or execution, though? Sorry not sorry Jesus, you can't take someone else's place and why would you even want to? For violent offenders such as r@pists and murderers, it leaves them free to continue committing such crimes and it leaves society at their mercy. And, since they've accepted Jesus' offer to take their sins, their crimes, onto his unblemished shoulders, they can continue committing such crimes with a get out of jail free card. And the victims of the crimes get nothing. Even if they also follow Jesus, He not only doesn't prevent them from being r@ped and/or murdered, he might condemn them to Hell for a simple lie that they didn't have time to atone for, while the criminal is free to continue hurting more people *and* might still end up in Heaven. It's also possible that the victims end up in Heaven with their attacker, but what kind of heaven is that?

    Thank you, for not having a religious bias in this video. Right now, I’m studying all religions. I’ve heard all the manipulations and I’m sick of it. I see the Bible as more symbolic, not literal. Was also hurt by someone in the church and was shocked at their behavior. What makes me even mad is when they preach against sex, and the same preacher goes and molests a kid, which is horrifying. Not to mention the “prosperity gospel” preachers who gross millions of dollars from their followers. I will say there’s no evidence for Adam and Eves existence, no gravestones of any prophets or other Biblical characters. Next time a religion person tells you “this world is evil,” remember all of the wars that came out of this religion alone and what goes on in religious institutions today. Ready for the replies.

    I was scared and confused as a 10 year old when a friend told me I needed to be saved. I then prayed the "sinners prayer" and felt nothing... It all felt like pretending from then on. It took until I took a six week "Hearing God" course through our church when I was 40 years old to realize maybe it wasn't me. Even if I hadn't given God everything I could before, during that course I poured my heart and soul in and came back with nothing. Until then I had blamed myself that God wasn't showing up and then I started to wonder if it was real at all. It has been a beautiful yet very difficult journey to get my life back. Thanks Kristi for sharing your insight and wisdom.

Every soul who have come out with "Why I Left Christianity" ends up speaking about catholic religion. And souls know it and understand it that: Christianity is found only in the BIBLE, as a soul takes a bible, sits down and reads it and then start studying it in order to understand it, or we end up misreading the whole bible. Coming to repentance and born again is each soul`s individual CONSCIOUS decision, which child (0 - 20 years) cannot do. It is the CONSCIOUS decision for the adults. No child goes to hell to burn, GOD is not unjust, HE IS JUST JUDGE. Hell fire waits us when we being adults and remain sinners. The keys to understand the BIBLE are: - hunger for truth - THE COMFORTER. Christians are expected to live out from the BABYLON and expose the wicked (masons and their death club, freemasonry), yet all of your stories are about being in the Babylon, and very deeply in. And as far as it sound, none of you left CHRISTIANTY, but all of you left catholic religion. Wise move. Now i, others and yourself can only pray that you`ll end up finding and understanding the real CHRISTIANITY.

One of the reason your assertions don't make sense is because God had an infinity number of possible solutions available when He created this world, yet you assume the one that's true is one of the cruelest possible.

    @@sulas548 we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on) hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot. religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27) also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible. Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day. The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info). We also found Jesus' blood on the Ark of the Covenant which had 23 x chromosomes and 1 Y chromosome. This shows that He was born of a virgin (Mary) and God the Father is His Father. The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now. also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt. Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection: 1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect) 2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs 3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus 4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone 5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus). 6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback) faith and reason, people hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general. thanks for reading

    I remember when I hit my mid 40s....I would wake up in a cold sweat. Worried about the "afterlife" and such. Well my answer to everything is do the research. After reading books by David Fitzgerald, Richard Carrier, Matt Dillahunty, Richard Dawkins and hearing talks from them and other well known atheists like Aron Ra, Shannon Q and Tracie Harris I realized my fears were not justified. When you really do the research and understand the nature of where the creation myth arose from. How many parallels there are to the story of Christ. And did Jesus Christ even exist at all? These are very difficult questions to answer but the evidence would seem to suggest that no, Jesus did not exist. And then in closing, why would "God" punish us for eons upon eons for the 80-100 yrs we live on Earth? Does that sound like Justice on any level at all?

I was always curious, always wanted to learn, read the Bible constantly, studied it, but at the same time, I was indoctrinated into the beliefs of those around me and was a very closed-minded person in a lot of ways. I think there was a lot of conflict between what I believed was right and what I was being told was right. Sadly, I am still a slave to the wrong things I was taught, since they were taught to me so young. I wish I could finally break 100% free of it. Anyway the Jesus belief with the blood magic is also mythical, and illogical to boot. Christians talk about taking responsibility for your actions, justice, etc., but by believing in this blood sacrifice, they are not actually taking any responsibility for themselves, and I think this is a terrible way to live. Other religions generally encourage people to take responsibility for their own actions. I don't know what other religions you're talking about that "just tell you to be good."

But if God is who you read about, are you shocked that He wouldn't reach out through His believers? To answer your claim about other religions and what good deeds they do, I agree. They can do many great things, it can be fulfilling to offer goodness to those who need it. But one thing religions do not offer me is a relationship with The Creator. I do not have a religion with my mother, brother, sister, but a relationship. Why would I not have one with The Father? If you read The Bible. Great! The whole thing, even BETTER!

However, I had pretty rough talk with a Catholic priest in the campus. I did not ask for it, but he came directly to me. He asked 'how do you shave yourself?' What? Maybe he is making fun of my sparse beard. He corrected 'not shave, save.' 'I got a kitchen knife and a nunchaku.' He said, 'Remember you are a sinner.' 'What sin? I did nothing.' 'The priest explained the Original Sin committed by Adam and Eve. I said "So what? First, I have no idea who they are, besides why am I sinner?" He got mad. I got mad. I told him, "Hey buddy, don't bull shit me. I am intelligent enough to get a scholarship. What is your IQ? Degree? I respected you as a priest. But I will not tolerate fools bullshitting me." A crowd gathered around us. This stupid priest was red with anger. If he had pushed me, I would have given him free Karate lesson. Later I got curious and studied Christianity. It is a pile of Bull Shit. Sorry about bad language. But there is no other way to express it. You got to be a moron to be a Christian. Here is the core bullshit doctrine - "All Christians go to Heaven, no matter how evil. All others got to Hell, no matter how virtuous." We all should piss on it and flush it off.

    Since I was little, growing up in the evangelical church, now atheist, I always asked, “what is the point of blood shed in the forgiveness of sins?” I got so many different answers that like you said, were thought stopping on my logical track. I’m glad I watched this completely logical video but wish I had watched it when I had questions. Christianity is a mass cult. They don’t think it is because it’s so massive. The definition of delusion excludes religion…why though? Even though beliefs are instilled in a lot of Christians since childhood, there are a lot of things that are crazy that I continued to believe in. I was delusional. Delusion is defined: a false belief or judgment about external reality, held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. There is incontrovertible evidence against Christianity and every other religion. One will claim that faith isn’t a delusion. But those same people claim to “BELIEVE” in all of this. There’s a plethora of evidence against Christianity that these people believe in. The DSM doesn’t count belief in a religion a delusion. That’s because “When beliefs are shared by others, the idiosyncratic can become normalized.” I think that if these people aren’t presented with the evidence then yes, they aren’t delusional. But if they are presented with undeniable evidence, then they’re delusional if they keep believing. Christianity is tricky though. They’ll tell you to keep faith (keep believing) no matter what and that the devil is going to tempt them to not believe. Just another manipulative tool by Christians.

    You need to understand that death means separation. Sin brings separation. If you are in a relationship and you sin against it, the logical course is to create a gap, a distance. Just if this happens between you and God, you will die. Not because He wants to kill you, but because He will not force you to live with Him, and He is Life Itself, so if you separate from Him, you will just die (first spiritually). Now love, which is holiness, causes the opposite. It creates unity. The more you love the closer you become. To a point where 2 may be considered 1. This is naturally seen in society. Husband and wife, family, neighborhood, city, country, and so on. Now, if you love Jesus, which is God's Word, you become one with Him, by becoming one with Him, you will share fates, so the death and damnation of Jesus will count as your own, so you will not have to die and be condemned anymore. This is why the Bible pictures a relationship of husband and wife between Jesus Christ and the church. You "marry" God so that you won't be ever separated from Life.

    Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27. Religions are works based and can take people captive by their vain philosophies. Belief in Jesus is relational.

    @@judyswiderski2682 That is just an instruction. I’ve provided 3 scriptures as proof. Galatians 2:16 “know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.” Matthew 6:1-4 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.”

    Love how you say that god works in mysterious ways is a thought terminating cliche--stopping someone in their tracks when they're on a logical track. That is so true. It's so often a way for christians to stop thinking--they see the issues but won't try to explore it further (many times) ending it with the mysterious ways line. It's kind of like someone sticking their fingers in their ears so they don't have to hear something or sticking one's head in the sand. In reality it's kind of juvenile as someone who has "matured" can explore areas in their life that are concerning, whereas the less brave will just stay in the comfort of the things they were taught growing up and stick their head in the sand when needed.
