Why call me good? There is none good but the father. 🤷🏾♂️
@bruceblosser384 Says:
These are ALL attributes asserted by people who neither new Jesus, or ever spoke to him! At best these are 3rd hand assertions, NOT FACTS!! {Might be true - Might not be true} How the HELL could we, over 2,000 years later know if these assertions are true? WE CAN NOT!
@anthonyj6197 Says:
Jesus said in mark 18 why do you call me good? And he responded sayin no one is good except God ALONE.... therefore how can you say he is God.... Jesus said now this is eternal life that THEY might know YOU the only true God and Jesus christ whom you have sent....disproves Jesus is God
Jesus never told his disciples to worship him instead he said when you pray say OUR father in heaven not the father son or holy spirit... the list goes on

The near-death elderly just suck this up. They love them some bull-chit. Faith over Fear.
@spacekid234 Says:
I presented this argument to an atheist who wouldnt stop raving about how good of a person Jesus was, and that he wanted to be like christ but he didnt believe he was God.
"I want to live like Christ. He was a good guy."
"If christ was good and never told a lie why would he suddenly lie about being God? Seems irrational."
That made him silent.
@legend40001 Says:
All the traits jesus has shown is already shown in all prophets of god. So all are all the prophets gods? And at the end he said good=god. so can we all be gods by being good? Oh wait muslims are, yet they dont claim to be gods. Let me give you an example of good: if aliens came down to earth they would think muslims are the ones worshiping jesus as we do all things jesus do and told us to do. Yet there is no Christian that follow jesus. Muslims grow beards like jesus muslim women wear hijab like mary mother of jesus. We dont drink alcohol or eat pork. We worship god alone just as he asked. we fast, be good to our neibhors. we dont disrespect the poor or orphans and treat them with the utmost respect
And yet christians make fun of our beards and disrespect women who wear hijab. Its illogical thinking.
Prophets are meant to be the example of a good human. So ofcourse jesus was good. But he also lack knowledge and he was always asking god for guidance. Jesus is a prophet was born a miraculous birth but not god himself. IF god were to come in the shape of humans first he will come with a created body just like adam and second he would say im god worship me and leave. Why would he live in earth with human body? Wake up ppl and please look for the truth. Thank you for reading this to the end.
@chrisbera7952 Says:
That's a good argument
@robertabrao7785 Says:
Also Jesus is called good shepherd, so you say he is God.
Barnabas was called “a good man” full of the Holy Spirit at Acts 11:22-24
Is he God?
@juantrujillo7216 Says:
Jesus broke the religious laws?
The same laws that god sent to the Jews with Moses and for non Jews
Came Noah
@AOmega72 Says:
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
@CHOUSASUKE Says:
Plain & simple😇😇😇
@danielanthony8373 Says:
I don't think people of today realize just how radically different Jesus was 2000 years ago and even to this day
Many of his teachings have been absorbed by Western Civilization without us even knowing
@stephenrandell7152 Says:
Jesus said "do unto others as you would do unto them" 🙏 amen
@SizemoreMusic Says:
A good god would never admit he was one. 👌
@crem004 Says:
The premise at one point was made is true, “good people don’t claim to be God.” You should have stopped there and confess that Jesus was not God nor ever claimed to be. Rather, he confessed “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except one, God.” Luke 18:18
Was Jesus good? Yes. But also the Bible calls many people good. Jesus’ point was that only God is good and anyone who else is good is because of God. Jesus was pointing to God for is own goodness. Everything Jesus had was from God and not from himself.

@robertdouglas8895 Says:
The New Testament is not consistent when it comes to Jesus saying to love God. "“Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
@tedoldham7703 Says:
Not True Frank, you can be a good person , yet be deluded .
@soundbite290 Says:
Jesus is The ONE and only son of God. The Messiah who came from heaven to earth, to save all from eternal hell. Jesus ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God, the father.
@mickqQ Says:
It’s unlikely Jesus claimed to be god.
@marzenalagowska457 Says:
It's acceptable to say for example, a person is possessed by the devil or demonic influence. But to say that jesus walked in the SPIRIT OF HIS FATHER well that is not possible. He must have been God himself , even though the Bible clearly said by jesus HIMSELF I CAME TO DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER. 🤔 mmmmm so WHO IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER? MMMMM.
@amac9044 Says:
Even if you could prove Jesus existed and was "good" you're leaving out the very obvious possibility that maybe he was just deluded....
@ragdadsolby267 Says:
Jesus' goodness can't be compared to Mohammed (pbuh).
I have a question to my Christian friends. Does it make sense to you, that God sacrificed himself TO himself to save people FROM himself?
@WildeAnglican Says:
Thanks Frank

Yahshua said himself only Yahweh is good,, and he told the woman at the well that she was a dog,, Yahshua also said he was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel not to the whole world

@briendoyle4680 Says:
let's tell you a story about a man called Jesus:
A god assaulted, by a proxy angel,?
and then inseminated a dum village 'virgin' named Mary,
in order to bring his 'son' haha into our world.
A cowardly and disgusting action... by any god...!
(typical of the men who invented these gods)
Mary and her cuckolded fiance ?Joseph,
travel to Bethlehem .
There Mary gave birth to an illegitimate son of a 'god' ?
Oh Wow.
Hahaaha
His body was placed in a tomb.
But three days later, the tomb was empty ?!
Suuure!
Then he ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of his god the father almighty, never to be seen again....?? wow!
A zombie story...

Praise God people are leaving apostate “Churchianity” and coming back to Torah observance and Gods feasts and eating clean food. Satan took us away from the law for 2,000 years but the truth is being exposed.
@Thefrogsaint Says:
In the book of Job it states, Job 9:8 (NKJV) He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;. …….that means if Jesus walks on water in the Sea of Galilee..he is God.
A = B and C = B then A=C

@bayesngays9341 Says:
Was Jesus good? We have no idea. We only know what early Christians later attributed to him. Their teachings are mostly good, some.are really weird - ie he upholds the OT law which condones slavery.
@sukruoosten Says:
Christ is second ONLY to his LORD GOD
who gave him power en authority en even saved him
when death was near the beloved sinless son said father into thy hands i give my spirit !!!! timothy 2,5
@sukruoosten Says:
none is good, save one, that is, GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE GOD who formed en raised Christ from death ALONE IS GOOD
en HE is the father of su all [ YHWH/YAH]
there is no other god besides HIM EN HIM ALONE john 17,3

@ronaldlindeman6136 Says:
Here is what prevents the Bubonic Plague from killing people, from Wikipedia;
(Bubonic plague outbreaks are controlled by pest control and modern sanitation techniques.)
In the years 1347 to 1351, 1/3rd of the population of Europe died to the Bubonic Plague.
Parents would have been praying to Jesus of Christianity to protect themselves and their family from harm and children would have prayed to Jesus of Christianity to protect their parents from harm. Did Jesus tell them how to prevent Bubonic Plague when they were praying on how to protect themselves from harm? 1/3rd of the population died. The reason we don't usually have Bubonic Plague around is because of the modern sanitation and pest control. Was that to much for Jesus to explain to the Christians in Europe?
@seekingperfectionphilippia7346 Says:
There was a division over who Jesus was when he walked the earth and there still is to this day. (John 7:12, 40-43/John 9:16, 17/John 10:19-21) So, many claim Christ, but why so many denominations in Christ? That goes against God and Christ (1 Corinthians 1:10-15) So, please read and study the scriptures sited until the end. I will explain all “Jesus is God proof texts”
Psalm 110:10 states: The LORD/YHWH said to my (King David) Lord (Jesus) sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. Jesus the servant (Acts 3:13, 26) and lamb (John 1:29) of God obeyed God even to death. (Philippians 2:5-11) Jesus is the image of God (Colossians 1:15/2 Corinthians 4:3, 4) as Adam was made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26, 27/Luke 3:38) Jesus being the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45) see we took on the first Adams image and likeness (Genesis 5:3/Romans 5:12-21/1 Corinthians 15:20-22) but God has made provisions thru Jesus Christ and we are allowed to be children of God if we believe in the one God sent (John 1:12/2 Corinthians 5:18) Jesus spoke what God told him to speak (John 12:49, 50/Deuteronomy 18:18/Isaiah 51:16) the apostles never taught Jesus was God/YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah neither did Jesus himself (Luke 24:19/Acts 2:22/John 14:10, 11/1 Corinthians 8:5, 6/1 Timothy 2.5/John 17:3/Mark 12:28-34) bottom line is Jesus is our king and the Son of God (Matthew 16:13-17) Zero scriptures say you must believe Jesus is God, but there are scriptures that say you must believe he is the Son of God. (1 John 5:5, 9-13) also Jesus was a Jew, the Jews needed convincing of no longer needing the circumcision to be justified in the eyes of God. (Romans 3, 4/Acts 15/Galatians 2) but there are zero scriptures to convince the Jews of a 3 in 1 God or that Jesus is or was God.
Besides Jesus didn’t exist until being placed in the womb of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18-21/Luke 1:35) by the Holy Spirit which comes from heaven (1 Peter 1:12) (formed in the womb Isaiah 49:5) God is Jesus’s God from the womb but not before b/c Jesus didn’t exist yet (Psalm 22:10) and since Jesus didn’t exist until the womb no one was worthy in heaven on earth or under the earth until Jesus (Revelation 5:1-14) Since Jesus is of the Holy Spirit (which comes from heaven 1 Peter 1:12) this is why Jesus can rightly say he is from heaven and not made of the earth (John 8:23) like the first Adam Genesis 2:7
Recall Noah walked the earth before it was destroyed by the flood. Genesis chapters 6-9. So Noah walked the old earth and the New earth after he came out of the ark. Same with Jesus (Micah 5:2 from the old age, some say from eternity past/John 1:10) Jesus walked the old earth before the foundation of the New earth/world which was laid in his blood/made thru Jesus by God. (Isaiah 51:16/2 Corinthians 5:17/Psalm 65:17) This also helps explain the glory Jesus shared with God before the new world John 17:5 these scriptures help show how he shared such glory while walking the old earth. John 1:14/John 2:11/John 11:4
“Jesus is God proof texts” debunked.
JOHN 8:58 ego eimi means “I am he” not “I AM!” It is said by healed blind man at John 9:9, angel Gabriel at Luke 1:19, apostle Peter at Acts 10:21. It is not a claim to deity or being God. Jesus was simply stating he is first in all things (Colossians 1:15, 17, 18/Revelation 5/Acts 26:23) even before Abraham in the resurrection. Remember the first will be last and the last first. (Luke 13:29, 30)
JOHN 20:28 “My Lord and My God” Jesus revealed God to them/him for God was with Jesus (John 1:18/Matthew 11:27/Luke 10:22/2 Corinthians 4:3, 4/Acts 10:38/John 8:29/John 16:32/John 14:19, 20)
JOHN 1:1 could be translated “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And what God was/is the Word was/is. So, what is God? God is Spirit (John 4:24) and Jesus was raised in the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18) and we know Jesus is Spirit because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 15:50) also John 1:1 is a prologue , meaning it tells WHAT happened, before it tells HOW it happened. So, at the time of John writing his gospel Jesus has already ascended and is already at the right hand of God. Because he (Jesus) was obedient even to death (Philippians 2:8-11) That is why (Jesus) was/is with God. And while Jesus was on earth God was with him. (See above about JOHN 20:28 note) Then John 1:6 begins the explanation of how it all happened. It is the same with Genesis chapters 1 and 2. And the Tower of Babel if you read the chapter before the story of Babel it tells how they left each with their own language then they tell how it all happened. Genesis chapter 10 and 11.
JOHN 1:3 explains these verses (Colossians 1:16/Luke 22:28-30/Revelation 1:5/Revelation 5:9, 10) The new beginning that God created, is laid in Christ blood (Isaiah 51:16/2 Corinthians 5:17/Galatians 6:14, 15) Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8) the apostles were chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) what the apostles were speaking about was the New creation (Hebrews 2:5) All of this is about the beginning, but the beginning of the new creation which is laid in Christ Jesus.
JOHN 1:4, 5 explains John 5:19-23, 26/John 8:12/John 11:25/John 14:6/1 Corinthians 15:45
Philippians 2:5-11 explains Jesus who was created perfect in God’s image/form just as Adam was (1 Corinthians 15:45) but lowered himself/humbled himself to resemble our sinful state since we are in Adams image (Genesis 5:3) if Jesus were God and we are to have the same mindset as Jesus then we are to think we are equal with God?
Acts 20:28 God is Spirit he did not purchase the church with his own blood, God doesn’t have blood, but the Son of God did. This is a scribal error or scribes trying to influence their own doctrine or ideas (which is well documented) as with 1 Timothy 3:16/Romans 9:5/Titus 2:13/Revelation 1:11 usually KJV Hebrews 1:8/Psalm 45:6 (your throne is God which makes sense when Revelation 3:21 is read) Matthew 28:19 (no other scripture says to baptize in any name but Jesus)
1 John 5:7/Jude 5 it was God not Jesus who saved the people from Egypt. It was Jesus who shed his blood and died (Romans 8:34/Colossians 1:20/Revelation 5:9, 10) God cannot die. In fact God left Jesus during his death precisely because the Spirit of God cannot die. Mark 15:34.
As for Revelation, the Alpha and Omega he who was, is, and is to come. (Who is to come? Jesus but is not God with him? So both are coming)
Revelation 1:8 goes with Revelation 1:4, 5/Revelation 4:8/ (Revelation 4 is all about God and Revelation 5 is about Jesus taking the scroll from God’s hand.) Revelation 11:15-17/Revelation 16:5-7 and the one who is on the throne is God Revelation 7:10. Jesus comes on a white cloud (Revelation 1:7/Revelation 14:14-16 obeys an angel (can’t image God obeying an angel) and Jesus has the white throne judgement (Revelation 20:11-13/John 5:22/Acts 17:30, 31) Revelation 22:12-15 is God speaking Revelation 22:16 is Jesus and the passages are reiterating what Revelation 1:1 is saying. God gave the Revelation to Jesus and Jesus sent his angel to his servant John.
Who raised Jesus to life?
God raised Jesus in the spirit and in this state he preached to the spirits (1 Peter 3:18-20 rebellious angels from Noah’s day Genesis chapter 6) in prison.
Jesus stated he would raise his body (John 2:19) which he did. God raised Jesus’s Spirit and in the Spirit state he was able to raise his body. Just as angels who are Spirits can materialize into flesh (Genesis 6/the two angels that appeared to lot came in the form of men Genesis 19/Hebrews 13:2. And flesh and blood cannot inherit Gods kingdom 1 Corinthians 15:50
As for hell
Sheol, hades, Gehenna, and hell have become synonymous and most Bibles now translate them all hell. Hell is a Germanic word meaning to hide or cover over. Which is what we do with dead bodies. But when Jesus spoke of hell and or hell fire he used the word Gehenna. Which is an actual place outside of Jerusalem where they burned trash (hence lake of fire) also in O.T. Times they sacrificed babies there. Jesus spoke in parables (a simple moral or religious lesson that would be FAMILIAR to the listener Matthew 13:34) the garbage dumb outside of Jerusalem would be familiar to the Jews. As a symbol of destruction. If the lake of fire is an eternal place of torment then why is the lake of fire thrown into hell at Revelation 20:14? In those times torment or torturers were used for jailers or a jail sentence (KJV or older Matthew 18:34) the idea of an eternal place of torment for 80 to 100 years of sin is such an unjust and unloving punishment for a just and loving God. It’s just another lie to slander our good, awesome and loving creator. Also why was Jesus in hell after he died? Acts 2:31 it is because “hell” is the grave.
I’ll end with these scriptures John 4:22, 24/John 9:39-41

In every bible, the prophecy of Jesus of Bethelem [Micah 5:2-4], used also in the new testament [Matthew2:4-6] it is written in verse Micah 5:4 that Jesus will come in the name of HIS God and that's what Jesus said (John 20:17).
..
Micah 5:2 And you, O Bethʹle·hem Ephʹra·thah,
The one too little to be among the thousands of Judah,
From you will come out FOR ME... the one to be ruler in Israel,
Whose origin is from ancient times, from the days of long ago.
4 He [Jesus] will stand up and shepherd in the strength of Jehovah,
In the superiority of the name of JEHOVAH..HIS GOD.
[Christian Standard Translation] 4 He [Jesus] will stand and shepherd [them] in the strength of Yahweh, in the majestic name of YAHWEH.. HIS GOD. They will live securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth.
