@egoeimi70x7: Is Christianity true? How do we know the Holy Bible is the one true gospel? Why this religion above any of the others? Part one. #christian #deconstruction #deconstructingchristanity #deconstructingfaith #jesuschrist

i commend you for going down this path 🙏

Dono :

Great video! I think my experience mirrors yours very closely. From not believing about 15-20 years ago, to actually deconstructing the last 2. (How did I never know all these things about my own religion?) Cheers!

All I know is my life just keeps getting better the longer my Bible is packed away in a box.

Rob :

This was literally my situation and questioned everything. I love a good debate.Im glad you are so open about it.

Tom Cat.. :

if christians believe the earth is 6000 years old how can Adam and Eve be created then when the Australian Aboriginals have been on our land for 60.000 years??? Adam and eve is just mythology thats what led me out of the church..

You asked some incredibly valid questions that I wanted to try and address but my response was too long for the comments 😅 so I just sent you a message. 😊

Yes I started pulling at those threads. I kept pulling and everything came unraveled

for me what they preached every Saturday at the door - and pounded the podium every Sunday morning - was very different from how I was actually treated.

It is entirely understandable why these contradictions feel frustrating when one is raised within an institution that prioritizes dogma over open inquiry. The 'circular reasoning' you point to, that the Bible is true because it is the word of God, which is true because the Bible says so; is a valid critique of a certain style of fundamentalist proof, but it misses the historical reality of how the Church functioned. For the early Church, the Bible was not a starting premise but an outcome, a collection of texts that emerged from the experience of a community that had already encountered something that changed human history. Regarding your point on 'ancient mythology,' it is crucial to recognize that the writers of the Gospels were not writing in a vacuum of 'myth.' They were writing within a specific genre of ancient biography that was intimately concerned with claims of historical witness. While parallels to other ancient stories exist, the intent of the New Testament writers was distinctly historical; they were documenting what they claimed were tangible events in time and space, not allegories for seasonal change. Additionally, the argument that the canon was merely 'constructed' by fourth-century bishops ignores the three centuries of organic, grassroots usage of these texts prior to any formal council. These texts were not 'chosen' by a political committee to exert power; they were recognized because they already held authority and were deemed consistent with the testimony of those who knew Jesus directly. It seems you are looking for a 'satisfying' intellectual system that can be locked down like a math equation, but the Christian tradition has always claimed to be something else entirely: a lived response to an encounter. If you are open to the possibility that the truth is not something to be managed, but something that claims you, it might change your approach to these historical questions.

even the bible doesn't say that the entire bible is inerrant or 'god breathed' 😳

I recall being told, "The Bible is infallible" during my baptismal class. That's not true, and it certainly isn't univocal, either. Also, the scriptures themselves claim Jesus Christ as the Word of God. The scriptures are a testimony of a) why humanity is in need of salvation, and b) how that salvation came about. The rest of it is an illustration of ancient culture and the experience of people wrestling with the idea of relationships with one another, and with the idea that we call God. There's a lot of anthropomorphism in the text that needs care to unravel. Your experience is just as valid as mine, or anyone else's.

TJRESISTOL77 :

questions you're not supposed to ask? doubtful, but even in the event that someone actually tells you you cannot ask those questions, where is that written? perhaps it's an "unwritten rule" meaning it's just uncomfortable for some or perhaps they just don't have a clear answer for you... or perhaps it's just not the answer that's going to satisfy your curiosity. doesn't mean it's actually banned from being asked, especially not from a doctrinal aspect. let's not make conclusions based on people's opinions but the doctrine itself... 👍 as far as contradictions go, from what I've researched, majority are perspective differences not flat out literal contradictions and even if there are true contradictions I feel it's important to ask whether or not it effects the meaning of the entire doctrine itself... I'd love to see these supposed contradictions though and analyze them appropriately and encourage others to do the same. if the goal is to dismiss the Bible, I won't deal with bias based on emotion or understanding or the lack thereof. if it's to seek truth, I'll engage.

It’s important to look up your sources and research both sides of the argument. Everything you mentioned as evidence against the Bible has already been debunked along time ago.

icon lex :

the bible is taking stories, concepts, and philosophies from other religions and mythologies. its basically just taking them all and compounding it all into one. the new testament is full of greek philosophy. i have been on a journey of truth myself for the past year

ΙΧΘΥΣ :

The only one way you know that Christianity is true is having a God experience. That’s how I know. Atheism is a lie.

Tim :

Heresy. You know in your heart that slowly shrinking that the Bible has historical backing. It’s not too late to believe in Jesus

maceyyylynn :

Hey, i would LOVE to read or see some mythology of ancient story’s that have things such as resurrection and have other accounts like in the bible where non-Christians ended up converting. As a non-Christian I just can’t get past the accounts of non-Christian’s seeing Jesus alive after the crucifiction and would love to see if anyone has this type of research about other old story’s that have such undeniable proof or proof of these non-Christian accounts being false … thankyou!

Sal Mac13 :

Those who have never researched don't understand how it happened. They don't understand that scripts were obtained by the Catholic Church that doesn't say much of what they claim the Bible says. For example 1, John 5:7 wasn't there at all. But they put it into the Latin Vulgate years after writing it and not including it from the beginning. Then came the Council of Necia and of Constantinople which includes something else of notable importance. They attributed a co-equal, and co-eternal state to Jesus that you won't find originally present in any of the writing that they had. So just like they added 1 John 5:7 to establish the Trinity, they created the above idea as support for their invention. Then (wait for it) we already know now that the idea of a Trinity was invented. So now how likely is it that Paul really was visited by Christ after he died just to tell him about what we know is not true?? That was the other way that was used to support the invention!!
