God also says the pain you are feeling can’t compare to the joy that’s coming
Amen. Beautifully said. I wish I had included that in the video.
Great teaching. Thank you Roddy.
Thank you for this beautiful message…much needed.

Hey man, the days of abrahamic religions is coming to an end. Access to knowledge is just too great. Everyone will always have a need for a sense of purpose but stories made up 2000 years ago just don't scratch that itch anymore.

If we send ourselves to hell then we also send ourselves to heaven, is that correct?
"The stipulation that God is an incorporeal being annuls the very conditions for meaningfully applying psychological expeessions to another entity, to wit, that this entity is able in principle to display forms of bodily behaviour which resemble patterns of human behaviour." God being supernatural can't speak words, can't use body language nor facial expressions etc. to express love. "God loves you" is as meaningless as "a rock loves you".
The only way you can watch forest valikai and have a take away like this is if youre being intellectuality dishonest with yourself and there's no winning an argument eith someone who does that😊
The pizza argument doesn’t make a lick of sense. YOURE not the one who created the laws of thermodynamics. It’s a ridiculous argument.the real argument would be “would it be my fault if I poisoned some of the pizza?” To which the answer is yes.
I've been searching for years for a good reason to believe the claims in the Bible. What good reason is there?
Except for a justification for hate - none whatsoever
Interactions from God.
@@fatalheart7382 Where is the evidence for that? Can you be more specific. Thanks.
@@malirk Well, the unfortunate thing is, I can't make Him do stuff. You'll have to wait for Him. XD But if He does do stuff shortly, remember I told you. :0
@@fatalheart7382 Can you help me at all? Can you give me anything convincing? What convinced you?
If anything it’s even more of God’s fault people go to hell based on what you’re saying. God creating hell in the first place, and making it so that there can only be two afterlives, already made it a possibility that people will end up going there, but to add to that he also determined that the only means of avoiding hell is via this specific path that he created. Apparently God felt that the best way to lead people away from hell wasn’t with evidence of his existence, but was to stick the apparent path to salvation in a book filled with claims that cannot be demonstrated and which will not be recognized as true by most people who will ever live or have lived. And your new analogy sucks. Actually, in your case you know your friend loves pizza, you condoned the construction of multiple pizza parlors in his neighborhood, allowed the sale of pizza ingredients locally, and are now telling him “don’t eat the pizza, you’ll get fat”-because that makes sense, sure. The new wife analogy you brought up is also flawed. Sacrificing yourself so your wife doesn’t have to burn is absurd given that at any moment, as is the case with God, you can simply make it so she doesn’t have to burn in the first place-I.e God can simply make it so hell is not in the equation and forego sacrificing himself to himself to circumvent rules that he created in the first place.
First off, great video! I love the format and the clear respect to discussion shown here. As for your point on the first tiktok, my usual reply to that argument is that it fails to encompass a truly omnipotent and omniscient entity; sure, he gave us free will which I assume to be "he cannot directly control us" (which is already sort of a contradiction? in the "can he create a weight he cannot lift?" sort of way) but he also did so already fully knowing what that would entail. He gave us free will knowing that we would not believe in him, and still chooses to allow for an (eternal, in some cultures) punishment to exist for not doing so. That he left proof of his existance (also knowing that said proof would be insufficient for many) and a way to evade this punishment also fails to account for his power, doesnt it? You even said it yourself, believing is only the first step; would it not be the fair, loving thing to do to make it abundantly clear to everyone, so that everyone has a fair chance of not being heretics? And despite skeptics not being able to come up with an answer to "what proof would you need to believe?", a truly omnipotent and omniscient entity would not have that limitation. If he wanted to, and I am led to believe by your own scripture that he WOULD want to by virtue of being benevolent, he could. This is also not accounting for the many, many other religions present through the world! Are their books, dogma and culture not just proof for other gods or ways of living? Is the allowing of their existance not willingly letting the waters be muddied, do they not make these exact arguments? My view is that, for every single idea of a God, supernatural entity, creator of the universe or simple cultural beliefs that humans could ever come up with(an infinite number, id imagine), there is also the chance for it to not exist. There is an infinite number of different views that could be right, and thus also an infinite chance that they could all be wrong; using the bible (general revelation) as proof for the bible is made difficult to trust by this. If anyone bothered to read this far, what would it take for you to believe in one of those *different* religions? From the point of view of a non-believer, all seem equally likely. Is it possible you were already predisposed to Christianity, Islam or any other by virtue of your upbringing, and either have never challenged your beliefs or a certain event pushed you into truly adopting them?
God tells you nothing of the consequences of our actions. Humans claiming to speak for the god they invented make these rules and consequences to control other's behavior. Of all the numerous deities created across time, each one has its own ruleset. How can you be so sure that yours is correct because it could be the opposite of the dude preaching down the street? Or that if your chosen text is the true word, are you sure it is exactly as it was meant to be when written thousands of years ago and translated multiple times? The bible for example CAN NOT be taken literally. It is impossible. So much of it is laughably disprovable that it means that it can only be interpreted by individuals. How is this a clear message of how to make it heaven if every person will have their own interpretation? You do not think people in power will try to use this to fulfill their own desires?
Forrest is among the worst ones.
How? He's very respectful. Just curious
@@cosmicwerewolf1504 he's very upbeat. That is not even close to being the same as respectful.
@@cosmicwerewolf1504 If you're interested, I have a series in the works called LIPM 1. Episode 0 is on my channel already. I'm addressing Forrest in particular in Chapter 6 or 7. There's at least one video per chapter, so you'll have to wait, but I expect it to be worth it, especially if you like the style in episode zero.
At 6:16 you asked the question: "what sort of interaction would be required for you to believe God exists". To be honest, I don't know. But me not knowing doesn't matter assuming that the god you believe in is all-knowing and all-powerful (most Christians claim that their god has these attributes so I am assuming it of you, if this is an incorrect assumption please let me know). An all-knowing all-powerful god knows exactly what it takes to convince me of its existence and has the capability of doing whatever that is. This leads me to believe that if an all-knowing all-powerful god exists, that god does not want me to believe in it at this moment (seeing that I don't believe in such a god at this moment). You brought up general revelation but I don't think that this matters. This is because an all-knowing all-powerful god would know if general revelation would be enough to convince me of its existence. Additionally, it would be of no burden to such a god (seeing that it is all-powerful) to convince me of its existence through some means other than general revelation.
Not bad augments put forward there, kudos for trying, but I am not convinced. Instead of reacting to degenerates (because if you use TikTok you most centrally are). I think you should debate an Atheist with a sound understating of basic science and philosophy in real time. Big topics like: The Creation of the Universe, The Origan of Life and Morality. If you like that idea and have trouble finding someone then you can always contact me.
You are right that if someone is knowledgeable on a subject, the low-hanging fruits aren't going to be effective. The point of this video, though, is to discuss these low hanging fruits of atheism in a way that the layman could understand, because that's ultimately what the layman is going to be convinced by. If you want some more "high-hanging" Christian argumentation, I'd recommend some of the debates or videos of Michael Jones of Inspiring philosophy.
Not a single good argument lmao
@@guitarandrums What arguments have you looked at and how are they bad? Support your statement instead of going "theism stinky lol"
@@liambelh9556 him scurrying around with his ridiculous pizza analogy was pretty pathetic let’s start there.
@@guitarandrums it was a weird analogy but I think the point was accurate. We are free beings and hell is the consequence of certain choices, not just some place that God sends people to arbitrarily.
Hey can you check out some great Bible verses? I think these verses would really help people change their minds! Hosea 13:16 psalm 137:9, james 2:26, Malachi 2:3, Genesis 6:6.
I’m an atheist. I don’t agree with most things you said, but you did make me think about what evidence I would need. If I saw something like a god in front of me I would probably think it’s a hallucination. For sure if god did something big and revealed himself and changed the world where it can’t be concise red a hallucination anymore then maybe, but future generations might start to doubt as well. Maybe if he didn’t hide himself and spoke to everyone? I mean, he should be able to. I don’t believe in him because I just can’t, the more I think about the less sense it makes But if he did exist and I get punished for it that seems super unfair. I didn’t want to watch this video because I knew I wouldn’t agree with you, but maybe it’s the echo chamber and I should listen to things I don’t agree at all to make me think even more. Good video even though I didn’t like it 😁💀
Hey thanks for watching! I think what you are referring to is the Divine Hiddenness critique of theism. I used to be an atheist myself so I totally understand where you are coming from. I appreciate the comment!
@@whatstheword3 I used to be Christian and now I am Atheist. Science has given me far more evidence against the existence of a God than for.
TBF the purpose of the video was to point out flaws in some basic atheist arguments, not to provide evidence for God.
@@liambelh9556 I know, I didn’t agree with that so didn’t feel necessary to comment on it. I found it more interesting to think about what evidence I would consider to be evidence and how a god would prove it to every generation to come. Since he mentioned evidence in the video and I’m an atheist
Idk how this showed up in my recommended. Dude you didn't make a single point this entire video, you just talked in circles. Also the Bible isn't evidence of anything other than a book exists (multiple versions of a book btw and the most popular one the one you quoted is the most edited from its source material)
Hi Freddy. I did make points in the video. You just don’t agree with them and that’s fine. I don’t know how I talked in circles either. Also, I don’t remember citing the Bible as evidence? I cited general revelation to consider the necessity of a divine being. The Bible isn’t considered general revelation at all. I did say that God left us the Bible to show us how to live (responding to the first TikTok) but I didn’t cite it as evidence He exists. Unless I’m remembering wrong. I’ll rewatch the video. Also, I don’t think that editions and translations devalue what an ancient text has to say. It is a necessary part of reading any ancient text, whether it’s Hebrew, Egyptian, etc. The farther we get away from the original source material (thousands of years) the more we have to examine it for accuracy. That doesn’t mean the original message is wrong, and that doesn’t mean the specific places I cited were wrong. You can use exegesis to find the meaning of the original source material, which is what I do in my other videos if you are interested. Despite our disagreements, I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment. Take care and God Bless!
A book? The bible is a whole cannon that is vetted both by internal consistency and by external verification. I think that is reason enough to use it as a reliable source.
@@user-qq6gp3tb2m Maybe if you guys check up on your fellow cultists, then we wouldn't have a problem. And calling Christianity a cult does not make you smarter than thou. It makes you more pompous and less intelligent. If anything, New Atheism has become the biggest cult in the modern age, right next to Reddit atheism. You have not made your point. Rather, you just acted on your own idiocy and feelings to try to push your own agenda.
@freddyfareiie3499 I didn't hear circular reasoning. Could you explain it to me? Although I understand where you are coming from, it is a vast understatement to call the Bible "just a book." The historical evidence supporting the authenticity of the bible is extremely fascinating and very extensive going back farther than 2000 years. According to some sources, there is more evidence to believe Jesus existed than Alexander the Great! It's especially fascinating to see a historical account of an entire population of Jews pivoting in the first century to stop doing the traditions they had been practicing for hundreds of years of generations. That is insane to think about because it is essentially the same as telling someone who was trained from birth, as a matter of life and death, religiously, throughout generations and surrounded entirely by a culture that supports, brushing their teeth every morning. It points to the very real possibility that something happened in the last days of the BC era. I typically recommend The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel which is the story of an atheist New York Times researcher giving his everything to disprove Christ. Just a reminder btw no one gains anything by saying such controversial stuff. He is putting his neck on the line to speak what he believes to be true and important for living a righteous life and avoiding punishment in hell. While some of us may disagree with the things he says he does it in love and hope to give us something greater.
Excellent teaching, Roddy. Life is all about choices. Thank you for this great lesson. God bless!
Thank you!
Hopefully ,you'll see this comment. Can you make a video on How to explain to unbelievers the trinity, to someone who believes in God, and cant understand how the old testament are "done away " with because of the new testament, "Jesus". How God can come 6o earth in Human form as the Son of God and die to go sit right next to the Father, which is Himself. Someone who doesnt understand that the new testament was written by sinners who was inspired by God. It woukd be a great help to have a short version addressing all this unbelief😢
This is really a concern especially if the unveliever is a spouse
Hi there! These are great questions and I’ll definitely be working on these topics. They are very important and there are answers for them. I’ll upload about them within the next month or so!
Excellent analogy I of the house and the restoration that God does in our lives. Excellent teaching. Thank you, Roddy.
Great teaching Roddy. Thank you.
Excellent teaching regarding the Greek word “logos”. Thank you Roddy!!!
Excellent teaching . Thank you Roddy.
What is wrong with you people, every scripture has at least two or more to back it up,. This is how God set it up you don't need my interpretation I don't need yours the Bible interpret itself if you leave man out of it that's trying to make a name for himself
The news media is notorious for not giving the whole context of a story The news media will only use bits and pieces of video footage so that it would look like the person said something something wrong or did something wrong Context is King A person can take one verse out of context and create a whole sermon by reading into the text giving his opinion of what he wants to teach his congregation This is dangerous and is called eisegesis Like to a realtor Location Location Location and to the the student of the Bible it's CONTEXT CONTEXT CONTEXT To God be the Glory Alone!
While I do like your content, I am confused why you choose an effeminate, blonde figure with a halo and no feet to represent Jesus?
Biblical Theologians is another name for creative nonsense. Good Hermeneutics is Literal, Historical, Grammatical Method. Bible is perspicuous.
👍
AFTER 7000 YEARS SINCE THE CREATION OF ADAM AND EVE OUR CREATOR TO CREATE A NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH... INSTEAD OF BEING NAMED ADAM AND EVE MAYBE, HE WILL NAME THE FIRST 2 PEOPLE JACK AND JILL ??
Thank you Jesus
Jesus when you take me out of this den i work for you please
Help me Jesus
Amen it works out for me
What about the other 70+ genders???!
Genesis 1 is Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made man in their image. Man is an idol, a trap for angels. Genesis 2:7 the Lord God forms His representative in THEIR system. Only one Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
The Bible is Satan's book.
The Bible is Satan's book, understand this and you are on your way to understanding all things.
Thank you for your time and sharing. LOVED IT!
Yes, be yourself...& allow the Holy Spirit to help and lead you to communication. Thank you.
So let me get this straight. God created Adam and Eve to monitor the garden WHILE he goes to create animals. The same animals that attack us today. Great , just great.
Context = it is as though...
His coming back in 3 days corresponds to Jesus' rising in 3 days.
Completely agree. This was the first video I did on this channel nearly 7 years ago. I definitely would’ve added and elaborated on that if I did it again today. I hope you consider checking out my newer content. Thanks for watching and God Bless!
There are over a 1000 churches in America, all interpreting the Bible their own way, so now we’ll add “yours”
Haha. Good one Gregory. Thanks for watching either way and God Bless!
Abrahamism and it's filthy false god create chaos and conflict.
