    great video . Thank you Donny , Sam and Frank . Don't let the atheist destroy your faith ( confidence ) In the word of God with their bad arguments . This channel " standing for truth " and Franks channel " Cross Examined " are great channels to watch and learn how to make a better argument and show you how bad the arguments atheists are making . If Science opposed Christianity and it was not compatible to truth and reality they wouldn't need a emotional argument or any argument outside of a scientific one . That's why atheist have to appeal to your emotion or insult your intelligence .

    Asked this the other day but might be better suited here. (And I appreciate this might not be totally related.) Right now it’s sensitive as I was in a relationship with an Israeli Jew. So on the Jewish perceptive on Chastity. Most of the Jewish channels have ignored me or haven’t really answered me (I donno why.) Why do Jews not believe in waiting until marriage ? Don’t the studies show these marriage are the strongest less likely to get divorced? Plus just having one romantic partner to me is just logical. (Why more people don’t se this blows my mind.) You can’t get any more romantic than that, you won’t be thinking of others from the past or comparing them. Plus the idea of being with multiple people grosses me out wether it’s me, them or both Thats done it. So why isn’t this a thing with Judaism and other religions? It seems like basic phycology. I’ve had mixed answers so far that the laws are complicated, it depends on who, what, where, when are relationships can be permissible. But incest and grape is not allowed. I was dating with a Jewish girl and she admitted she has had multiple partners. (2 of them, if she was honest.) So I didn’t want to Continue the relationship. Did I do the right thing? Shouldn’t I forgive her? (I’m in my late twenties and she might be the best I get.) I Believe she doesn’t see sex as a big deal so will continue to do it wether it was with me or now another. She is very close with her Rabbi so I’m so confused. I’m having a hard time thinking about her with other guys, or I think is she thinking of them and so on. The guy she was first with. They will always have that connection, this is why I see waiting until marriage as so special. And she won’t have that memory with me. She will remember being romantic with another like that for the rest of her life. The psychological and biological sides of science both back this up. Soul anchors, you create with your partners the more partners the less anchors you can have. Or as strong. Making it hard for relationships. I would imagine the longer your sexual relationship has gone in for the strong that anchor will be, so harder to forget. Feeling grossed out about others being with her, but as you said showered. But the idea of it, especially if it was not protected. And the idea of them bragging, looking on Facebook, and just thinking of the times with her. At least with just a 1 with 1 relationship there is no outsiders. The feeling of comparing yourself to the others, thinking if she is doing that. (Some memories won’t die). Or is there a way to forget them? And maybe lose that connection? Plus the way guys are, bragging, maybe even took photos and videos of them, showing off. And if they stayed friendly, or if we bump into them how awkward! Then the Biological side the more partners the development of ASA, Anti Sperm Antibodies. Making pregnancy harder and more likely to have kids with issues. Then the fact she is Jewish, so I thought she would save it until marriage too. Being close with her Rabbi, I thought he would keep her in the right path, so he either doesn’t know or care. I just don’t know wether to find out more from her on these details, and did she cheat on any of her partners. I saw on one photo she had a ring on her ring finger. How long the relationships lasted, how they started and ended. There is so much, I feel I need them answered for closure. But then will it make me worse knowing more details? Should I ask more? Does anyone have any more perspectives on these points? Both Jewish and Christian. I know people say she is with you, but she still has connections with other people. And as do they with her. And it grosses me out and I just can’t handle it in ways. But then I feel guilty for not wanting to talk with her, or forgive her you know. As many have said everyone deserves a clean start but it’s just something special. Also through some of the conversations, I remember her talking about we all make mistakes and regrets (we weren’t talking about sex or such at the time.) I sometimes think was she maybe talking about that? And she also admitted she had hasn’t had a partner in 5 years. (Then said recently it was 2-3 year or whatever.) And that she can’t change the past. And that “you forget your other partners”. Hard time believing that. And just how guys are they live for that stuff. I don’t want to go around in circles. I do try to forget the situation, but the same thoughts pop back in to my head. And I keep thinking of my age(late twenties.), and really just wanting to settle down and have kids. What if I don’t have much of a choice or chance? Also to add she also has dropped hints at Feminist points, more identity politics and such. And At one time she said about marriage, then weeks alter said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to? Not saying the politics is right or wrong, just thought it’s worth noting. Also her mother (they are really close.) said “Sex is for people who really like each other”. “You could get married, divorced and then remarried and have more partners.” And she said no one is Israel wait for marriage unless orthodox. (If you aren’t following the rules can anyone claim to be part of a belief? Isn’t that a false idol, doing what society does? What if they make stealing or murdering normal? And isn’t getting divorced only allowed for certain reasons like cheating in a marriage? And I thought of a partner dies you don’t get married again, I think in Judaism couples get United into one.) It shocked me her mother was so laid back about it too. (She said other stuff to, will edit them in if I remember.) So this shows Israel’s or Jewish culture isn’t that good, as it’s not as tight. Are the majority of Christians like this too? She also didn’t say she regretted sleeping with people, just what she said about no one waits in Israel unless your Orthodox, and then the stuff her mother said. Also when I first to her after finding out about her past, she just “I see” and then said that a long distance relationship is hard to do anyway. She never said anything like she’s changed or such, I thought to maybe keep me? (Not that I’m worth it.) She did say she “can’t change the past” not to long ago though. Or she was looking tough. Maybe it was how much emphasis I put in how important that stuff is to me? So many points sorry. So confusing stuff. I have also wondered if there was either guys behind the scenes as she has a friend who gave her account details for Netflix’s or such, and she originally told me the person who down that was female, now a guy. And she was speaking with another guy about something on Snapchat. I have only just remembered these things. So I makes me worry are these guys from the past? Other interests? Is this why she didn’t overly sound like she cared when I said to her? And how much if what she is saying is true? There is a lot to think about. Sorry this is just a lot of stuff, and I don’t know what to think. Also she has said about not having much friends, yet forgets to message me back as she would “forget to scroll to scroll down to older messages.” So she must be getting a lot of messages if she needs to scroll down. And she can take days to reply, so what is she so preoccupied with? Also an app (discord) we use to sometimes communicate she randomly shows up online and it’s only for a short time then offline again. But I’ve noticed the app does this when you get a call in general. So I’m now thinking is she getting calls from other people on there? And on a similar note she mentioned how she spoke to another guy on that app or such. And then a guy on Snapchat who sent a rude video. So you can see why I have issues. But she always said she preferred talking with me. No idea how to bring these points up to her. She got upset one time when I said to her I only hear from her now and then and asked if she sees me as more of a buddy and she said no. And she got upset and said she was going to cry. But when I said more recently about how no sex before marriage is important to me she never seemed to bothered. Just “Oh I see” and then “can’t really have a relationship far away” so it’s like she was ok with it all? I would like to know who she talks with and hangs out with. And then there has been times when she was only texting me at times when she would call me, and I got suspicious as to why she didn’t call. Again I really just need to ask her but bringing all this up is awkward, so any advice on that would be great! A lot of stuff didn’t add up. I find it hard to trust her, and asking her about these things is hard. And how she, her Rabbi and parents don’t seem to care. Don’t Jews believe they go back to God? And that married souls are joined together? How many people she maybe talking to is concerning. And if she is friends with her exes. I’m so’s sorry for this long rambling, I’m so confused, and overwhelmed on what to believe. On what to do with the girl. And how I should approach her about things if I do. Any help is much appreciated! And I appreciate you reading this!

She said “Sex is for people who love each other.” “We all could get divorced and remarried, and have more partners” “ we want to be happy.” She might have said more but I’m struggling to remember it all.

    You can tell much about people’s moral standards by their lifestyles, the way they dress, behave in public and in private, the sorts of entertainment they pursue, what their interests, hobbies and studies are. What they spend their time and money on. Some people are selfish, vein, shallow, superficial and only care about material things. Some people care about Spiritual things and opt out of worldly pursuits. Broad is the road that leads to damnation. Straight and narrow is the road that leads unto Life. The wise man built his house upon a rock. The foolish man built his house upon the sand. People can be a rock for you, supportive and strong and a stabilising influence. Or they can be shifting all the time like the sands. When crises comes, the Rock will be a source of strength for you and give you peace. The Sand will always be unsettling and finding ways to cause strife and never finds a stable peaceful state. Nothing is taken seriously by the Sand, everything is a joke and a game. Those people always want more fun, more pleasure, more adventures, they’re never satisfied with what they’ve got. It’s not easy to find a good person to be with, but it can happen if you look in the right places and look deeper than just the external appearances. True Love isn’t cheap or wayward, nor to be taken lightly. Some people love the company of pleasures, rather than the pleasures of company. Meaning that it’s never good enough to just be with someone, doing normal everyday things. They always want worldly pursuits of some kind and then you feel small or unworthy, if you’re not on board with their program and they can see you as a negative drag for their pursuits. You can’t dictate how other’s should live, but you can choose how you live. If you want to wait for marriage, then that’s a personal choice and I commend you for that. So you have to be patient, explore relationships and investigate people tentatively. Choose company that’s compatible with your ideals and standards and don’t be a sheep to other’s. When you’re God’s child, it means that God owns you, so no one else can. If your girlfriend’s mother is loose and believes in “free love”, and they’re very close. It’s a safe bet that your girlfriend’s standards will be like her mother, probably worse though bc of our technology and social media. All these contraptions and devices, are built to enslave us, into sins of many kinds, and they cause strife and constant arguing and bickering. There’s no peace to be had from them. So if I were you, I would look for someone who wants to be free of all the strife and stress of technology and social media, and wants the company of real people, in a community of people who trust and respect each other. It’s good that she has got Religion in her life at least. But false religions and teaches can be more damaging than no religion at all. I mean if a prominent member of a religious group who donates heavily to it and is close to the leaders. They’re unlikely to criticise them and put constraints on their lifestyles. Or just lack guidance to avoid pitfalls and becoming ensnared. I believe this is the case with most religious groups of all religions. They’re run more like a business and not as a way of life. Does she always behave the same, away from the synagogue and its members, as she does around them? Deception has a way of deceiving those who are deceiving others. But ultimately, you never really know if you’re being lied to, unless they confess, or you hire a private detective, or something. From what you wrote, it seems like she’s been honest with you about her standards of sexual morality, at least. But that doesn’t say much about, whether she’s faithful to you, or a player. Personally, I wouldn’t get into a serious relationship with a Jewish person, bc I’m Christian. You will either have to eventually renounce Jesus and accept Judaism, or she will have to convert to Christianity, or it will fail. Idk what denomination you are, so I can’t comment about that. But I would recommend finding a spouse within the same denomination, if that’s possible? Or become a monk, or a scholar and dedicate your life to serving God. He will guide you and bless you with all that’s necessary. I’m not saying that you should definitely ditch the Jew girl. But from what you’ve said and my personal experiences in Life, it will take a great deal of work, patience and a miracle to get her to go against everyone she’s ever known and lived in her life and become Christian. If you really do love her, then try that with her directly and see what her reaction is. It’s much better to lay out the terms for a possible marriage early. Than to carry on a charade and living with false pretences. You could also ask your family and church elders how to approach your problems. I think that would be better than in YT comments. I hope this helps.

They are irrelevant to the reality the scriptures, logic and science proving the god of Abraham doesn’t exist beyond any possible doubt, meaning Jesus doesn’t have a father and is also none existent. And I am curious: How can an atheist “make things up” about something you can’t prove exists by saying it doesn’t exist? You have provided the atheist with the proof your Jesus guy doesn’t exist by failing to establish any recognised historical proof of his existence, let alone he was the son of a god, so why would an atheist need to make anything up about it?
