For those of you who don't know,

I am a firm believing, non-denominational Christian.

This means that I reject any Christianity that's become perverted with man-made doctrine.

I don't believe Catholics, Protestants,

Calvinists, and Jehovah's Witnesses are making it to heaven.

That's a bold claim, I know,

and I don't say it to be controversial.

I'd rather say the truth than let somebody walk into hell.

Not everyone who says to me,

Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven,

but he who does the will of my Father in heaven.

Matthew 7, 21.

Now, my father is a preacher,

so I grew up believing in God.

But in my teen years, I began to doubt.

I have always been a very skeptical person.

I won't believe something unless I can be absolutely guaranteed of its certainty.

So the thought came to my mind,

wait a second, I don't actually believe in Noah's Flood, do I?

Those fantastical fairytale-style stories from the Old Testament?

Do I believe in talking donkeys?

People coming back from the dead?

This led me to a very strong fascination with apologetics.

For those of you who don't know,

apologetics is the defense of religious doctrines through systematic argumentation and discourse.

It was going to take some convincing for me to believe in what the Bible claimed.

I've never been superstitious.

I'm still not.

I don't believe in ghosts,

I don't believe in mythology.

Here is a big list of everything that made me doubt the existence of God.

1. There are over a thousand religions,

and each one believes itself to be correct.

Maybe Christianity is just a great delusion of the West.

After all, most Eastern countries don't believe in God.

Are we arrogant to say that our God is more real than theirs?

2. It makes sense that humanity would make up a belief in God,

as our biggest fear is death.

Most likely it's just a comforting lie we tell ourselves.

3. Why would God leave a book,

especially one that runs the risk of being edited,

lost, or mistranslated by men?

If he really wanted us to believe in him,

wouldn't he make it more obvious?

Four, some of the smartest people in the world believe in evolution.

They have the science to back it up as well.

Science beats philosophy, after all,

at the end of the day.

Five, there's over 45,000 denominations.

Clearly it's a confusing doctrine if even Christians can't settle on one idea.

Six, Christians are clearly delusional.

Talking about speaking to God,

being granted revelations, when I,

who've been a Christian in my whole life have never experienced any of these things.

7. It's all very convenient.

Anytime something goes well, we can say,

that was God, and anytime something goes wrong,

we can say, that was Satan.

It's been set up in a way that is unfalsifiable.

8. Why would God make his initiation rituals so strange?

Baptism in water?

Eating the blood and the bread?

If I were God, I would have made at least some kind of physical glowing happen while doing these rituals,

so people could tell they were actually working.

9. The human mind is fallible.

It can be altered chemically,

so how can we even trust our own experiences and reasoning?

10. Would God really let the people who never got the chance to discover him burn in hell?

There were many other reasons too,

but those were the main ones.

So amidst all this doubt,

how did I find myself where I am now,

fully convinced in the belief that the Christian God,

the God of the Bible, exists?

Let's get into it.

Chapter 1, The Philosophical Evidence.

1, The Morality Argument.

Morality has to come from somewhere.

We all feel in the back of our minds

that there are some things that are objectively right and some things that are objectively wrong.

Without a standard higher than human reasoning, we can't condemn sin.

Humanity without God collapses to pieces.

Our whole system of morality in the West is based on the Bible.

Our legal system wouldn't make sense without God.

Can we really say that all morality is just the preference of the state or preference of the majority?

No, because that would justify the Nazi Party.

The Holocaust was the preference of both the state and the majority,

yet we know it was wrong.

As for the morality of God,

some people would say that he is unjust according to his actions in the Bible,

who are we to question that.

Again, everyone has their own idea of morality.

The objective standard has to come from somewhere,

and if God writes the standard,

then what he says goes.

Simple as that.

2. Instinct.

What tells the organisms to keep evolving?

Why is it taken for granted that even if organisms could evolve, they would?

100

Where did the desire to survive come from?

101

that matter could come from nothing is one thing.

102

To believe that the will to live could come from matter?

103

That I could never believe.

104

3. Narrative.

105

Humanity wouldn't conceive of a saviour like Jesus Christ.

106

He just doesn't fit the bill.

107

A humble man who turned the other cheek

108

and died on a cross doesn't fit with the kind of hero humanity would write for themselves,

109

even in the Bible that is reflected on.

110

Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel,

111

and they said, No, but we will have a king over us,

112

that we may be like the other nations,

113

and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.

114

1 Samuel 8, 19-20.

115

And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul.

116

There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel.

117

From his shoulders upward, he was taller than any of the people." 1 Samuel 9, 2.

118

4. This is an amazing point from the book,

119

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist.

120

If there was an infinite amount of time before the universe began,

121

then it never could have began,

122

because you can never arrive at a certain point in time in infinity.

123

Therefore, something existing infinitely had to create time and make it begin at a certain point.

124

5. Absurdity Are the Old Testament stories too far-fetched?

125

Have you observed the world that you live in?

126

Our Earth is suspended in space by gravity,

127

floating in an endless void filled with balls of gas larger than a thousand Earths.

128

Humanity has harnessed Wi-Fi

129

and can communicate across the globe in a fraction of a second from a device in his pocket

130

that is physically connected to nothing.

131

If you think Noah's Ark is crazy,

132

you haven't seen our world.

133

6. Consciousness Try explaining human experience with science.

134

There's no way to prove that the human mind exists,

135

yet we all have one.

136

Think on that for a while,

137

you'll give yourself a headache.

138

It had to come from somewhere.

139

7. Creativity.

140

You've heard the design argument a thousand times,

141

but why do we notice design?

142

Why do we care about it?

143

Why do we care about beauty,

144

art, art, neatness, and stories.

145

Surely that's not something that was necessary to evolve in order for survival.

146

So God created mankind in his own image.

147

In the image of God, he created them.

148

Male and female, he created them.

149

Genesis 1, 27.

150

8. Calling.

151

Every society has religion.

152

I don't think that is a coincidence.

153

We all have a nagging feeling deep down that there is something higher than ourselves.

154

Maybe all of humanity started with one belief,

155

but it was lost and confused,

156

now every society is trying to find their way back to it.

157

Some kind of Babel, perhaps.

158

9. Consistency.

159

Beyond order, every part of life works,

160

and always works in the same way.

161

A woman gets pregnant, we know it takes her nine months to give birth.

162

I get a cold, I know I need rest.

163

The fact you can look up,

164

how long do I have to boil an egg in water, is itself crazy.

165

Logic is never changing and unalterable.

166

It's not just crazy that the universe contains order,

167

it's crazy that reality contains order.

168

It's crazy that order can even exist.

169

10. Lifestyle.

170

The Bible would be a strange book to write for yourself.

171

No sex until marriage?

172

No alcohol?

173

No revenge?

174

Those who follow the Bible properly live wholesome, productive, virtue-led lives.

175

They deny pleasure for a greater good.

176

To me, that is an amazing proof of the Bible.

177

It doesn't call humanity to do what they want to do.

178

It calls humanity to do something they must do.

179

11. Separation.

180

Humans can betray their instincts,

181

to our own detriment and away from our own pleasure.

182

That can't be a trait that can evolve,

183

because it isn't necessary for survival.

184

We have the ability to kill ourselves intentionally, if we wish.

185

There is a higher will in humanity.

186

12. Result.

187

Seeing the way that Christians live and the way that atheists live is proof enough for me.

188

And even though there are plenty of atheists who are happy,

189

hopeful, moral people, it's only the atheists who don't truly follow their own philosophy.

190

They still follow the morality of the West,

191

which was built on the Bible.

192

Most atheists live subconsciously as if God exists.

193

If an atheist really, truly believes that morality and meaning do not exist on an objective level?

194

That is a scary thing.

195

Chapter 2, The Historical Evidence.

196

The articles for all of these will be linked in the description.

197

1. The Fall of Tyre.

198

In 586 BC, the prophet Ezekiel predicted that the impregnable city of Tyre would not only fall,

199

but the rubble would be cast into the sea.

200

This came to fruition 250 years later,

201

when Alexander the Great destroyed Tyre,

202

then used the rubble to make a land bridge to their island fortress.

203

The crazy thing about this is

204

that the prophecy was fulfilled after the Bible by a character who had no relation to it.

205

2. Our calendar is based on the birth of Jesus.

206

Just a fact.

207

It's been roughly 2,026 years since Jesus was born.

208

3. Hezekiah's Tunnel.

209

The Bible records an account in 2 Chronicles and 2 Kings where where King Hezekiah digs a tunnel under Jerusalem.

210

In 1880, the tunnel was discovered,

211

along with an inscription mentioning King Hezekiah by name.

212

4. Manuscripts The Bible is 66 books,

213

written over a period of 2,000 years by 40 different people,

214

and yet it forms a cohesive, uncontradicting narrative.

215

Need proof it hasn't been edited over time?

216

Quickfire round.

217

It records errors that people of God made.

218

It includes a lot of strange rules that would have been better to cut out if it were edited.

219

And we have enough ancient manuscripts to compare the modern bible to.

220

The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors,

221

the authenticity of which no one dreams of questioning.

222

F.F.

223

Bruce.

224

resources.

225

If these interested you and you want to read more,

226

here are some great resources for biblical evidence.

227

Apologetics Press, Answers in Genesis,

228

and honestly, the book, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist while being a denominational book,

229

compiles all of the major biblical evidence into one nice package.

230

I'd recommend it.

231

Chapter 3, Thoughts on Revelation.

232

I do not believe that the claims of visions and being spoken to by God are accurate,

233

nor do I believe we see miracles to prove God's existence today beyond providence.

234

I do believe that people genuinely think they have seen these things,

235

but mental delusion is so common these accounts can't be trusted.

236

God knew this.

237

The Bible is described by God as the perfect,

238

or complete, And he said that once it arrives,

239

we will no longer require spiritual revelation.

240

Charity never faileth, but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail.

241

Whether there be tongues, they shall cease.

242

Whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

243

For we know in part,

244

and we prophesy in part.

245

But when that which is perfect is come,

246

then that which is in part shall be done away." 1 Corinthians 13,

247

8-10 Paul is saying that when the Bible is finished,

248

the miraculous gifts will cease,

249

because they will no longer be needed in order to prove the validity of Christ.

250

If you need proof that the perfect is talking about the Bible,

251

that is a whole separate video,

252

which I'll bring my dad on board for,

253

if I ever make it,

254

as he explains it really well.

255

So, sorry Muhammad, I do not believe your Bible sequel is canon.

256

As the Bible says, But even if we,

257

or an angel from heaven,

258

preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you,

259

let him be accursed.

260

Galatians 1, 8.

261

Thank you so much for watching.

262

Have a great rest of your day.

263

God bless you.

264

you
