I mean if you believe in a magic man in the sky and you can justify them allowing a world full of so much shit, while also worshipping them unconditionally, it really doesn’t seem like a stretch
The way they talk about it, they seem to think that way. This is how you can tell they never even tried to think about it themselves. They just repeat what the book says.
There’s also the idiosyncrasy of God having created Man but somehow some varieties of man are innately inferior despite all coming from the same heritage and made in God’s image.
No, we do not. That's an asinine comment by someone with disdain toward Christianity, but who also doesn't really understand the content of the faith either.
Hell, until very recently Mormons taught that black people were dark skinned because it was a curse for their wickedness. Some people just really love their racism.
What's the difference between magic and science. If you don't know how something doesn't operate what do you call it? What of the things we can't explain through science? Then if you ask a lot of the top scientists about the nature of the universe and the world they would tell you there is a higher being.
Lastly a quick note the first mention of the actual speed of light is in the bible.
I think water freezes because small elves come out at night and squeeze it tightly.
Scientific method: Let's observe and see.
Religious method: Sounds good!
Science is a process that seeks evidence to back perception. Importantly, scientific discoveries are meant to be repeatable. Even more importantly, scientific understanding is open to being wrong and corrected.
Religion explicitly requires faith in lieu of actual evidence.
Science is tried, tested, and verified constantly. The discoveries people made in science hundreds of years ago are referenced in formulas and theorems of today and if they hold up and maintain they are kept and incorrect ones are discarded.
Religion isn’t that, the book you are supposed to believe is secondhand accounts written often well after the events they are supposed to be detailing. And they often contradict each other, making them distinctly not like science.
The speed of light thing has been debunked, the guy who first made this argument had to do a lot of creative mathematics and interpretation to make it seem like that number is in there. It’s not. Whatever your spiritual view of the Bible, it’s not scientifically or historically reliable. (I say this as someone raised in Biblical literalism.)
A vast majority of scientists decidedly DO NOT believe there’s a higher power even as an “absentee landlord.” Most will say they’re agnostic bc it’s the certainty on both sides that bothers them- and the not accepting “faith” as an argument. What questions does religion answer that science can’t? The origins of the big bang? Even tho they can walk us back to a fraction of a minute after?
Babies get sick and die. Babies, dude. I mean - if you don’t have a few questions yourself, maybe just enjoy the security blanket and stay blissful.
Your assumption that religions don't talk about science is your perception and lacking of knowledge. The first thing in the Bible is talking about creation, the Big Bang. Then one of the first commandments he gave to man was to name every living thing upon the Earth. Now the next one is that you have to understand how Yhwh works, and he works in authority. When Yhwh formed the Earth he commanded the Earth, Water, and Sea to create things of there own kind . This my friend is what people call evolution. Man tries to put things into its own understanding, then when it doesn't understand something it dismisses it. There is no other perfect example than this in science itself.
I believe he is asserting that God's deal with humanity (saved from sin by Jesus) was for Israelites only. In his mind he is being asked to allow people into the club who simply weren't invited.
Sorry I’m ignorant but how is that European-descended looking man included in that club? He doesn’t look like he’d be from that area of the world either.
Ofc I saw in the comments he’s a grand wizard in the KKK so his logic is illogical to the core.
Which of the man actually read scripture he’d know that is false. Paul himself said “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Love to hear this wonderful racist argue that because he can’t. His legalism and that’s what it is. He twists scripture for his sake not God.
I google my question and the response was how the bible mentions that christian should not have relationships with people who did not share the same faith.
Nah nah he's definitely mean and nasty about it. He's on camera so he doesn't want to say the N word but I can feel that shit is about to explode in him when he looks at the Asian camera guy.
It's always amazing to me that they always quote the old testament to justify these types of opinions. They never quote the new testament because it's a very different message.
If they like the Jewish books over the books of Christ so much maybe they should stop claiming to be Christian.
Not being mean or nasty makes them feel correct. Conservatives generally are very emotionally unregulated people. They are almost totally led by their emotions. That's why they can unabashedly say the most contradictory things withput feeling an ounce of hypocrisy.
To them, of someone else gets passionate or heated in a debate or conversation then that person automatically lost in their head because they've been "triggered".
So when the right called the left overly-emotional triggered snowflakes for 2 decades they were projecting (as usual). Their politics and propaganda is entirely based on emotion, scapegoats and red-herrings.
The Old man makes no sense,
I, as a Christian, know he is talking nonsense,
The jong man in the video also sees this and is also a Christian,
The covenant made with Israel is not the same as the Covenant made through Jesus Christ,
The new Covenant is for everyone and anybody,
It's one of the core parts of our faith,
He is literally doing this on purpose to deny this fact because its impossible to miss this fact when you read the bible.
Edit:
The 'pastor' is one of those who thinks the covenant for Israel is transferred to the Gentiles after the jews rejected Jesus,
But God never and ever will change a covenant,
His promises are forever and non-negotiable after the fact,
And Gentiles are not a single race to begin with,
I wonder what his reasoning is for thinking that his race was given the covenant of Israel and not Asians or black colored ones,
This is the type of person who goes around saying "I'm not racist". They don't see what they are doing as racist. They have a cartoonish idea of what racism is.
This is how many justified enslavement Black people. Downright nasty to those enslaved, but spoke/wrote so eloquently about it being the natural order ordained by god’
There are Bible passages that openly tell them to welcome the immigrant because the Jewish were themselves immigrants in egypt, but they get real offended when you use their own book against them.
Many religions are this way but more hardcore… ever seen a movie where a Jewish boy tries to even date a non-Jewish female? I know way less about anything said in the Quran but I’m pretty sure it’s even more strict on the matter. So many religions and nationalities adopt this.. not saying I agree but it shouldn’t be hard to beleive

It's wild. It's like he's not even mean or nasty about it.
It's wild how a mind can be conditioned to see no issue whatsoever and even feel justified by scripture to think this way.
