Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@trentitybrehm5105 says : The Apostles willingness to be killed not for saying they believed Jesus had risen, but they knew he had risen, because they saw him. If the tomb wasn't empty, they would've paraded the body around to stomp out any idea of Jesus being ressurrected, but Christianty spread because there was no body in the tomb. If someone stole the body, why were nearly all the Apostles willing to be killed for saying they'd seen Jesus risen? They were thousands of miles away from one another before phones and the internet and were being threaten, tortured, and murdered for their claim. Not one "broke" and said it was a lie to save themselves. The archeology matches the Bible perfectly all the way from Genesis through the New Testament. We have the writing of the disciples of the Apostles and the disciples of those disciples, and they not only quote much of the New Testament, but all the core idea of Christianty are present. Jesus being God, the Son of God, dying for sins, burial, resurrection, ascension to heaven. We also have writing of Jewish and Pagan contemporary historians who were hostile towards Jesus, who say the same things : Jesus being worshipped as God, the Son of God, dying for on the cross, burial, resurrection. It's mainly because of the archeology, "friendly" writers, and "hostile" writers mentioned above that the Jesus Seminar, who are PhD level ashiest/agnostics who study Christ and the Bible, concluded that Jesus really lived in Judea 2,000 years ago, was known as a miracle workers, died on the cross under Pilate, and that his disciples really believed they had seen him risen from the dead. The fact that there are contradictions between manuscripts is often sited as proof against trusting scripture, when it actually does the opposite. The fact that there are so many manuscripts makes it easy to tell when someone changed one, and modern Bibles are transparent about any differences in the footnotes. None of those differences found between manuscripts change anything about any core doctrines of Christianity, they are mainly a handwriting error on a letter or a different way to word something that means the same thing. There is also all the undisigned coincidence between not only the four Gospels, but the rest of the New and Old Testaments too. Matthew 2:22 talks about Joseph not wanting to return to Judea after fleeing to Egypt because Archelaus was ruling. That's all the info on that the Bible gives. Josephus, the Jewish historian, tells us about the things Archelaus did and how evil he was. Put these two peices of evidence together, we get the full picture. This sort of thing happens through the text with the seemingly useless details matching up perfectly with extra Biblical sources, lending to the credibility of the text. It's because of the evidence that I believe in Jesus.>> <<@darken3150 says : So much for that born again experience making you new, lol doesn't apply to sinning i guess>> <<@gi169 says : Thank you CE>> <<@dalex60 says : Shameless hypocrite Christians are untrustworthy, the words they speak are 100% empty and meaningless…>> <<@bruceblosser384 says : he just admitted that There is no difference!!! So much for all the "gifts" of the holy spirit! So much for being indwelled by god! So much for the validity of Christianity! :)>> <<@anadlm9028 says : Poisoned, leavened doctrines might be detrimental in some religions.>> <<@verklighet1797 says : Religion is the source of some of the greatest evils we face today, from the oppression of minorities and women to the refusal to accept scientific research into climate change, religions including Christianity have contributed to handcuffing man kind. With that said religion is not inherently bad. It can give people strength, foster community, grow our outlook and help organize charity. The trick over this next century is going to be figuring out how to excise the real bad religion does from the real good it's capable of.>> <<@Lisajohnson_101 says : Yes! Amen>> <<@natehewett4009 says : No one said that because religious people do bad things, therefore Christianity is false. Christianity is false because there is no evidence (by evidence I mean something that can be measured, tested, and/or replicated that points to Christianity as being the k ly possible conclusion) that demonstrates the truth of it.>> <<@Jesus_Saves_66 says : This a lie - Christians are not like everyone else… we are saved and we now live in Jesus and He lives in us, giving us the power the live Holy. Stop holding onto the evil you do every day and stop enjoying your sins, Jesus Christ came to take our sins away. 1 John 3:8 ~ But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil>> <<@michellegigous8911 says : Amen ❤❤❤>> <<@spherence says : Do you eat shellfish?>> <<@dalex60 says : The TRUTH is that Christianity has had well over 2,000 years to prove its god claim and beliefs to be correct and true above all other 3,999 different world brands of religion, and has FAILED miserably at trying to do so…>> <<@wesleyhite8203 says : I feel like there is a fountain of living water, just out of my reach. God knows exactly what I need, he just won't let me get there.>> <<@silviaalatzia3413 says : Amen 🇬🇷♥️>> <<@lonvickers says : You're really sad>> <<@jasonwolfe918 says : THAT ALL DEPENDS ON THE RELIGION...JESUS SAID "YOU GO OVER SEA & LAND TO WIN ONE CONVERT,& WHEN YOU HAVE WON HIM,YOU MAKE HIM TWICE THE SON OF HELL AS YOURSELVES."MATTHEW23:15..SO RELIGION CAN MAKE YOU A LOT BETTER,OR A LOT WORSE...>> <<@Worlddiscovery73 says : People fell for Hitchens sanctimonious grand standing, instead of the validity of his arguments. John Lennox torn him apart, and John torn Dawkins apart too. They were literally angry little men.>> <<@kiwisaram9373 says : The question to be asked is how would we know a person was a good or bad Christian? If they merely do as athiests would do, why then do atheists then complain? They could only make such a judgement, if they already know the righteousness of God written in their hearts. Otherwise wickedness is normal and as such acceptable behavour.>> <<@kelvinloeb812 says : Nice of you to point out how Hitchens was correct. Vicarious redemption, besides being made up, is meaningless.>> <<@weirdwilliam8500 says : The point is that religious people have nothing to show for it, and in fact more often live lives that are more miserable, because they are indoctrinated with unnecessary fear, shame, ignorance, and hatred.>> <<@Kashibizz2023 says : Are we defining the same church like Jesus referred in the New Testament? God does not live in the building made by humans but he lives in the heart of believers. For me Christianity is not a religion but it’s a faith in the living God Jesus Christ. God bless.>> <<@h2oblood922 says : What you are saying is true, and it goes to all religions, but see what the media is doing with Islam.>> <<@andrewkilbride971 says : Hands up Frank has a point or two here but 'everything poisons religion' is stretching and excusing waaay too far.>> <<@camcam8995 says : Correct, just because religious people do bad things dosent mean it’s false. But when the religion condones, encourages, and specifically outlines those bad things, that’s where personally ny problems start, believe wtv you wanna idc, but when it starts to effects me and my family and the vernal public it’s gone to far>> <<@txmade4371 says : Christianity is false. Just an excuse to make you feel better about doing bad stuff. 🤦🏿‍♂️>> <<@thecookiehunterz8169 says : "Everything poisons religion" if only those gay people could shut up and keep being gay in secret>> <<@thecookiehunterz8169 says : "Everything poisons religion" If only those women didnt want rights>> <<@badatpseudoscience says : Except the church proclaims itself as a force for good. So, at least for this issue, religion ruins everything is a argument against the church.>> <<@Sir-Chancelot says : That’s a myth known as The Conflict Thesis by Draper and White in the 19th century. Historians outright reject that claim because it isn’t consistent with the historical evidence. Christianity alone caused the rise of many universities, many scientific fields, prominent scientists, libraries, and so much more. Also, *The Encyclopedia of Wars* records 1,763 historical wars and conflicts but only classifies 122 as religious (6.9%). It’s amazing how people shout this slogan without looking into the details>> <<@truthawaits4u458 says : Come on frank.....let's be honest here. Christianity was pushed around the globe and enforced by the tip of a sword. Roman catholicism is who we can thank for that. If you have the truth you wouldn't need to "crusade" around the globe murdering and torturing to push it. "Believe as we do or die" is basically what took place. There is another group of maniacal religious fanatics that spew the same type of hatred. I believe we call them radical islamists 🤔. What radical Islam is promoting is the same as Roman catholicism before the reformation . Believe or die....tell me I'm wrong. Ultimately, it seems as though they developed this notion of being sent to hell for unbelief to save money. It's a psychological ploy to control people through fear of eternal "damnation" and torture. Burn a few people in town square in front of everyone and tell them if they don't believe, that will be them for an eternity.>> <<@unduloid says : Any evidence for Yahweh yet?>> <<@aaronraynor7703 says : There are no “good” atheists. The fact is, none of us are “good”. Christ himself said, “why do you call me good, only my Father in heaven is good”.>> <<@anekaye4446 says : Church is a training camp for God's army!!!>> <<@anekaye4446 says : Well not everyone who says they're Christians ATE Christians>> <<@seanmccaskill5042 says : A scholar in languages studied the dead sea scrolls for 14 years and came to the conclusion that originally its about magic mushrooms. Look it up.>> <<@Bomtombadi1 says : Frank still bragging about his 20 year debate with Hitchens, and now proudly peacocking against a dead man who can no longer defend himself.>> <<@craiighorton5780 says : Jesus is not my personal savior. Never was and never will be.>> <<@ThyRafterLord says : Just claiming something without sufficient evidence doesn't make it true either.>> <<@cheesypeanuts says : Love it Frank>> <<@kevinwesterville2115 says : Just think how far we would be if it weren’t for religion. Democracy is way better than the thousands of years spent in theocracies.>> <<@JerrryMillion says : Religion has proven to be more harmful to humanity than any other single thing in history.>> <<@robertlombardo8437 says : I like to think of church as analogous to a cancer ward in a hospital. Everyone knows each other, everyone knows they're there for the same basic reason and are going through treatment together. And when one of them gets through their treatment, it's always a cause for celebration.>> <<@derekardito2032 says : No atheist ever killed anyone in the name of another atheist, good people do good things, bad people do bad things only religion could get good people to fly planes into buildings. Liar Turek never had the balls to say that to Hitchens live, Chris had the balls to tell Turek that evil comes from religion. religion>> <<@messageofthecross35 says : 👍🏾>> <<@miraclebennett19 says : It's the fact that Christianity is the only religion that is mocked. Jesus was mocked when he was in this world back then. What does that tell you? Jesus will always be the head of my council no matter what happens or what anybody says 🙏🙏 Have a blessed day y'all 🥰🥰>> <<@SpiritheoryOfficial says : What if we are capable of becoming more Christ-like than we actually think we can? Not because of our own strength, or our own will, but because of the will and the power of the one who dwells inside of us, the Holy Spirit. What would be too difficult for God to do, if we were to have enough faith to choose it?>> <<@AMessengerofTruth says : "Good atheists and bad Christians" Why does Frank ignore the truth about people? As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” Even Jesus said it Himself: "Only God is truly good." There is no good atheist nor good Christian.>> <<@davidmarion7954 says : the reason religion is false is because there is no evidence, like there is no evidence for rhe tooth fairy. is that too hard for you to understand?>> <<@migueltorres2198 says : We come from a fallen race, Christ is our Lord and Savior.>>
