It's both sides. Both sides do it [censor], otherwise I'd be making a living as an author.

Again, the Left uplifts Charity and Licentiousness and the Right uplifts Chastity and Greed. You can't pick a side in this. As Jesus also says, "Lean not either to the left or right, but stay on the narrow way."

Greed is opposed to Charity, and Licentiousness is opposed to Chastity. So, this is the whole issue, a true Christian holds onto Chastity and Charity and also forsakes Licentiousness and Greed. So, we're not liked by either side.

{}"Do not sew onto an old garment a new cloth" and "Do not put new wine into old bottles," Lest "They tear and burst." I think Paul is right on track for what Christ was getting at.

Peter lived as a Gentile, that's why Paul reprimanded him for not eating with them when the judaizers tempted him. As Hebrews says, "With a change of priesthood comes a change of law."

No, because Romans is saying how yoking yourself to the Law, cannot save you. In fact, it causes you to act on the flesh, instead of the Spirit. We're to have no Judaism yoked to us, as is said by Ignatius. But, it's what Paul's epistles really mean, that covenant is over. We're not to follow it anymore, as it can't save us, and rather leads to us committing sin, because of its reliance on the flesh.

Ignatius Letter to the Magnesians Chapter 8. "Be not deceived with strange doctrines, nor with old fables, which are unprofitable. For if we still live according to the Jewish law, we acknowledge that we have not received grace."

The entire message of the Gospel, is you need to be grafted into the vine to be saved. If you're not, you'll be sheered off, and wither. You can't be righteous apart from Christ. He's the rootstock; we're the branches. By living by the letter, we'll be condemned, but by living by the Spirit we'll be free to do good, because the Spirit will cause us to do it. It will be like rest. Christ is the Sabbath, and we're to rest on Him for our righteousness, not our own works.

That morals and ethics are concrete, and can be observed.

You might ask them, “Well why do you need God?” Well… that’s a good question.

Humans are exceptionally bad at forming moral systems. They fail in ever so many ways, and there’s the written ordinance, and what actually is, that makes things even more difficult.

So, I’d think at the establishment of man’s first laws—which are in the Bible, in the Torah, in books like Leviticus and Deuteronomy—we have a record of man trying to form a basis for morality. And we see in the Torah, a rigid morality that would kill every man, woman and child on the Earth. But, then we also have the Ten Commandments. Which were scribed by God’s fingers. So, Moses broke the first tablet, and the second were made out of Sapphire, or Lapis Lazule, out of God’s heavenly temple… and God gave these Laws, the only Laws we’ve received directly from God to that point. Maybe the other laws and commandments were created by Abraham in Mesopotamia, through committee, but the Clean and Unclean were given by God’s command to Adam and Eve, but then was abolished in Christ’s death and resurrection. So, then, God in the Flesh came to Earth, and lived a perfect example for us to follow. And He taught a perfect law.

So, why do we need this example? It’s so people are capable of understanding right from wrong. Without God’s living example, or without God’s finger scribing the Law in the Ten Commandments, we couldn’t know right from wrong.

Why? Because man is a very bad authority. We confuse the most basic things like Gender, and we turn rudimentary moral laws that should be like counting, into abstract algebra and Transcendental equations.

So, this fact remains… we need God to order and provide the world with a bedrock of truth. Without which, we cannot have truth, unless God established it. Which He did twice, with Moses and the Ten Commandments, and came in bodily form through His son Jesus Christ.

Maybe it’s because, like in Trigonometry, there’s no algebraic way to get Sine and Cosine without already having the measurements and angles. You just have to have the right measurements, to do the formulas. And Christ is that measurement. He's the standard. That without, we can’t do the rest of the math. And God had to set that measurement in place, for us to do all the other more complicated things. As God had to be the measurement, so we could do the more complicated logic. Without which, we’d have nothing to measure it with, and therefore, would be without knowledge on how to do the more complicated logic.

You kind of do need God to have a foundation for morality. And here's why.

Friedrich Nietzsche said that good and evil didn't exist. Hume said morality was made precedent on Law, and not universals.

So, in the world today, "Moral" just means what society agrees upon. That's kind of its little catch all, you're an immoral person, if you divert from the social norm. You're a moral person, if you don't.

So, this is a problem, because in societies such as Rome or the Aztecs, it wasn't uncommon for people to do the most horrific crimes, and that was a matter of custom. People did it, as often as we watch TV or play video games. And such things involved every capital offense imaginable. Even the worst ones you can imagine. Things that if someone did today, they'd be locked in jail, and the key would be thrown away. And everyone did it. So, that's kind of the problem with Hume's Argument.

The problem with Neitzsche's, is that you can objectively see patterns in the world, that affirm the good. So, like a geometric proof, the good becomes self evident, where we can observe and measure it. Things like peace, and love, and joy and kindness, and gentleness, and goodness, and self control, and patience and reliability.

So, you generally find in this, evidence for the Good, so if there's Good, that exists outside of human judgment, there must be a God. Because it's not precedent on human judgment, but something self evident, which is established in a higher orderer and establisher.

And I move to Christianity, because Christ's law is self evident. He spoke the most truth, and the gospels can be corroborated as witnesses, and He raised from the dead, and fulfilled 300 messianic prophecies or more. So, obviously, this is the true religion, based on Christ being witnessed, His deeds and moral teachings which give us clarity on what's right and wrong, and His fulfillment of Prophecies.

Christ isn’t coming as a world leader, or as a man in government. The Antichrist is. And he’ll pose as Christ. But, Christ is returning in a unique way, described in the Book of Revelation. He’ll be born of a woman, who is called The Daughter of Zion in Eschatology, and He’ll be taken up into the clouds of heaven, after being attacked by the Dragon or Serpent which is Satan. And His mother will be given wings like an eagle, and she will fly into a wilderness habitation prepared for her, to suffer for a time, times, and half a time. As she will suffer immensely, unfortunately. As the prophecies foretell of her, her suffering is the Tribulation of all Israel and mankind. And Christ will return on the clouds of Heaven, after Babylon falls, and with an army of 144,000 saints, those sealed, as the Book of Jude proclaims, He returns with many ten thousands of His saints, and He will wage a battle, called Armageddon. And He will purge the Earth of all its sin in that conflict. Then, He will establish His Kingdom in the Temple, and resurrect the dead in Christ, to live the lives they lacked, for 1,000 years. Which Christ can control the day and night, so this 1,000 years could be a very long time. And His servants will be given wives, and children, and vineyards, and choice properties, where they’ll live peacefully. And Christ will reign the other nations with a rod of iron, and withhold the rain from them, if they do not come to Him and serve during Tabernacles. That will be the only sin one is capable of committing in the 1,000 year reign. And then Satan will be released, and muster the forces of Gog and Magog, to a final end of all sin and suffering in all of creation. And then Christ will cause to descend the New Jerusalem, which is betrothed to the Son of God, and His people will be married to the Land and call it Beulah and Hephzibah, and this will be the beginning of a New Heavens and New Earth, where all the old things are done away, and there is no tear, or fear, or suffering of any kind. It will be eternal pleasure, as we will have the mind, body and spirit like Christ’s, so we can never suffer, or choose any manner of sin ever again.

As a note, we'll be married to Hephzibah, or Jerusalem in the 1,000 year reign, too, fulfilling the command that there is no more marriage. The espousal of Jerusalem is a Mystery. Perhaps the LORD will make Jerusalem a spouse out of clay, like Adam, but she'll be our Hephzibah. I don't know, though, so don't make that into a doctrine. I just know in the Millennial Reign children will play by the adder's den, and the lion and lamb will lie down together. And a youth of 100 years old who dies, will be considered young, since everyone will be so righteous. And we'll have gold for bronze, silver for iron, bronze for wood, and iron for stone. Which shows the affluence, but even that doesn't compare to the true Eternity. That's all prophesied in Isaiah.

Well, I have studied other religions. I don't like Hinduism because of the Caste System. I don't like Islam because it fights against the Jews and Christians. I don't like Buddhism because its founder was not perfect like Jesus was. I don't like Paganism, because I believe in one God, as it doesn't make sense that there'd be multiple gods all fighting one another. I don't like Shintoism or Zoroastrianism because they believe in Manichaeism. Same thing with Gnosticism.  And I don't like the idea of Reincarnation either, so that strikes Buddhism or Hinduism out. I find it unfair to demand people live, and only suffer. I don't like the core teachings of Buddhism, either, that it doesn't express the joys of life, like Christ did, but rather derives all meaning from suffering. And I don't like Atheism, because it leaves a moral vacuum, and makes weird stuff start to appear and become normalized. And I would be Agnostic, if not for Jesus Himself, who was a superior sage to even Confucius, Buddha and Pythagoras. Which is why I believe, is because of Jesus. I think in order to know good, you need an example set, and Jesus is that Example. And you'd also need God Himself to instruct us on the right way to live and behave, which God did in the Ten Commandments and when He came in the Flesh as Jesus Christ, and taught, and lived and died.

It's also not about moral teachings. It's about Christ. Without whom, none of those other religions would even tempt me. Only Christ. Because of What He did, and Who He was. He didn't sit in a graveyard or on a battlefield, pining about life. He did something. And people witnessed this, and were willing to die for it.

It's not like Buddha didn't have some good things to say, he just didn't live the right way. Christ did, and without that example, we can't know how to live. We needed God Himself to live an example for us to follow. Without that, we couldn't know right from wrong, I'm very convinced of that. Because right now, with knowledge of Him decreasing more and more, nobody knows right from wrong. And the Gospels were witness of Him, living that life, and witness of Him fulfilling over 400 messianic prophecies. Meaning, He is the Messiah and Son of God.

Compare Christ to Buddha, Buddha was all talk. And the miracles he's said to have done are all icky, and don't have the beauty or simplicity of Christ's miracles. Christ talked, but what He did was far more glorious, and spoke more than any Sermon He preached. And the Apostles actually witnessed Christ perform those Miracles. And they died believing it. We have that accounted in history.

Comparing Jesus to Buddha, even the mythological Buddha, Buddha's kind of scary, and more like a warlock, than a genuine human being. He's more self serving than Jesus is, and doesn't pour himself out for other people. Which is the core problem I have with Buddhism, is Buddha himself. He's just all wrong, and kind of icky. Jesus, in the four canonical gospels, which we can prove came from eyewitnesses, is just more elegant. And has none of the excess that Buddha does.

I was reading the earliest Biography of Buddha, I guess the fact that it doesn't seem to have the authority of the four gospels, being four accounts by many different witnesses, all saying the same things, and then Buddha's teachings which seem to center around worldly pleasure and suffering... it's just I think Jesus avoids that topic altogether, and demonstrates a life worthy of emulating. Buddha in the biography I read, was all talk, and simply kept repeating the same thing over and over again. Jesus wasn't monomaniacal like that. He had diverse things to say, and centered His teachings around attaining full pleasure in Heaven. Which is affirming the spirit of Joy, rather than trying to inure you to life's suffering, Jesus told you to hold fast to the joys of the Kingdom, and thereby be strengthened by the pleasures of God's Kingdom and that hope.

Just assume everything he says is a lie. He doesn't rub me the wrong way, he just lies. I mean, I can account for errors in all of his videos, but he's just telling you what's being taught in seminary--like everything he's telling you is what they teach in Seminary. That's what's truly scary, everything he says is something you'll learn in a College Textbook. And Academia lies about all of it. That's where the lies start, Dan is just telling you what they're teaching in places like Emory and Oxford.

They're also altering primary sources. So they make all this stuff true... it's brainwashing. Just know Jesus is coming soon. This is part of the Antichrist System, they want to alter the Word of God, the Traditions, put everything into doubt, just so Christians don't have a leg to stand on. And as Paul said, "All I know is Christ and Him Crucified," and I'd add "Him raised."

You really can't defend the faith when Josephus gets changed. I have no doubt in the The Ryrie Study Bible they told you what was in Josephus about the veil. They just change the sources somehow, I've caught them doing it now three times. Maybe even half a dozen. It's Antichrist. Like "Antichrist." Get it?

I stay mostly in Christianity. I’ve read enough of the Koran to not really believe in it. The second Surah kind of tells you to believe in the Covenant given to Israel by God, which was through Jacob and Isaac, and not Ishmael. So, it kind of refutes itself. And Hinduism is kind of cartoonish. It doesn’t have flesh. And Shintoism kind of raises good and bad at equal levels.

So, I’m concretely Christian. But, what I’ve read of Christianity, are the Old and New Testaments, many hymnals, many commentaries on the Bible, many church histories told through the martyrs, the Old and New Apocrypha, I’ve looked at historical evidence corroborating the scripture, many systematic theologies, I’ve looked at a lot of different things.

And I’ve come away with two impressions.

My study of other religions, shows them shallow, and in some regard unjust. And Christianity has none of that. And it’s a very coherent internal tautology, that shows a fulfillment of the Old Testament in the New. And it’s a comprehensive moral philosophy; its claims are backed by historical evidence, and Jesus is more of a compelling character than Vishnu, or Buddha, or Muhammad, or Confucius. I’d just say if it weren’t for the man Jesus, I’d be an Atheist. For sure. If it weren’t for Jesus, and what He did, and what He taught, and what He demonstrated, and the provenance of people dying who believed in it… I’d say I wouldn’t be a Christian if there weren’t that historical provenance to the religion, nor the founder Himself.

I see nothing compelling in Muhammad, except a warlord who wanted to galvanize his people. Hinduism is a lot like a cartoon, and it’s got bad ideas. The bad ideas in the Old Testament, are corrected in the New. And they’re prophesied to be so in Ezekiel. So, the worst of the religion—those pesky Old Testament verses that everyone gets stuck on—is fulfilled in Christ’s second Coming, when He destroys the wicked of the Earth, and rebukes the nations with a Rod of iron. We’re not to judge anymore, Israel failed to bring judgment to the world, so we’re waiting on Christ now, to bring judgment to the world. So, all those violent verses in the Old Testament, are forgiven in us through Christ, so we simply believe, and are made righteous through Him, and a desire to be holy.

Yes. I’ll give you a three pronged reason for believing.

1. Number. It’s a fact of life, everything at its base can be reduced to number. Be it a curve, or a square, or an octagon, everything has a number. Even Quanta and Gravity. And there’s four basic operations, that work together in higher and higher laws, that describe everything. Now, this isn’t enough, but if you look at what the numbers describe—see the numbers as a language—you can understand that the universe is intricately woven with a fabric of design, through seeing the way number is so fundamental and inherent in everything.

2. Good. I think Nietzsche made a pretty sound argument, that if God doesn’t exist, then neither ought good. So, I tend to take it on account, that I’ve witnessed good—and just myself, I’ve witnessed good—so I believe that if Good exists, it must be that God exists. And we wouldn’t know good, unless God demonstrated it to us, which He did at Sinai with the Table of the Ten Commandments, and then living out an example in the Flesh of His Son. As God demonstrated good to us, so we’d be in no question. Every act of Jesus, is proving the good to His argument, as everything needs to be established in first principles, and God in the flesh had to establish what was good, so we could even understand it. And I think that life, self evidently, is good. I think nobody can question that, so it proves that God is the God of the Bible.

3. The mountains of archeology proving the Bible is valid. There’s encyclopedias volumes of evidence, that you could spend a lifetime researching, and I think the Bible is the only religion that has historical provenance, it was developed collaboratively, by many witnesses, and people saw God interact with the human race. It’s the only religion like that, that has a historical component to it, that is real. And the ethics in it is flawless. Christ lived, Moses lived, it’s just too much evidence proving the Bible is sound, and God literally interacted with the human race through Moses and Jesus, and gave us laws to follow, and a consistent chain of witnesses exists throughout all of history, proving it. From martyrs in 17th century Europe to the Apostles and their protegees. And even the Jews who studied the religion before Christ.
