...I'm not sure if I can trust anything anymore....?

Question

Well, I thought I believed the bible, but by looking at this, I don't think I can go to church anymore... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e92s-Rfh4CI

I just try and try to convince myself the bible is true and it's wrong, but its really too convincing! I want to get someones opinion on this!

I'm not saying I trust youTube. (Trust me I don't)
I trust the videos I see on youTube. And you could probably tell I'm a gullible open-minded person but I don't trust most things I see on youTube.

Answer 1

Bunk. These guys come up with this "conspiracy" stuff and go around the country holding "seminars" with low tech slide shows and such with no other credentials or persons of acedamia to support these assertions and charge for admission and etc. and then try to get people to invest in schemes and such. Where are the bio-chemists or physicists supporting this claim? Its a scam...even if there were some truth to it...and there always is a little...they never provide solid concrete references whereby a person such as yourself could or would be able to research the matter yourself. Always, of course, because "the big guys" have managed to sucessfully conceal the evidence which they so miraculously rooted out from obscure sources and such. You can trust your Bible and attend church and believe if you choose to...research the Word of God...even up the Apocrypha if you want to further your understanding. Don't give it to these guys though...if they really had something...don't you think CNN and Oprah would be interested. No...they end up on Coast to Coast with Art Bell. These guys are using Quantum Physics and super conductors that may explain the way thought travels along the synapsis of brain tissue - the firing of neurons by use of specific viscus oils (amino acids) and metals that are commonly in our diets. However, these guys have come up a with a biological/agricultural/chemical powder that is suposedly harvested, changed into gold and then "cooked" so as to be ingested to increase mystical abilities such as spiritual communication, anti-aging, telepathy and etc. Basically, they may try to sell you something perhaps doses of the already made up stuff or a book that shows you how to make some white power that can miraculously cause limbs to regenerate...broken teeth, appendages, etc. This substance would be called Ormus. The fuel cell technology alone would render it priceless and yet NASA doesn't use it? Hmmm...wonder why. Its all psuedo science...just ignore it. Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 2

Mankind has long pondered the existence of a god and the nature of said god.One common theme among he religions is that they strive for truth,which is a noble ambition.
The problem comes when people decide the "truth"was discovered thousands of years ago and quit looking.

These people would have you believe that their "god"would be angry with you for questioning the ideas set forth in a book that was heavily censored and edited and filled with "facts" we KNOW are false.Realy,we KNOW the Earth is much more than 6,000 years old.We KNOW all humanity did not come from 2 people in a garden.Those people who wrote the bible would have no clue how to even turn a computer on.They would think a car was witchcraft,and surely huddle in fear t the sight of a low flying plane.So why in the world would anyone believe they were the end of knowledge?When in fact we know they were quite ignorant of most natural processes.

So,this leaves one with some choices.One can disbelieve in a god altogether,one can believe in a god or creator,yet understand that the Bible has nothing at all to do with god,in any manner,and thus one is able to contemplate the true nature of a god of TRUTH.One is free then,to study the actual way things happen,the BB theory,the Theory of Evolution,all the wondrous and fantastic ways the universe nad life presents itself to us.

Or one can decide that all knowledge was already gathered,suppress the truth,deny evolution,call it "evilution",spread lies that "evolution is in trouble""America is a christian nation"and the thousands of other lies they must keep alive to keep that silly book afloat.If there be a god,and this god be of truth,wouldn't this god be pleased you took the time to learn the wonders of creation?

Many people say they believe"just in case"These people,in my opinion,have taken the worst bet of all.IF their god exists,they are stuck then with a god of lies.I have a different approach.I always look for truth.I study science,I love learning.If there be a god,I will only accept a god of truth.I would never insult a god of truth by demanding lies be spread,and doing anything I could to spread lies.If a god exists,study science,indulge in philosophy,find out how it was done(It WASN'T done by making a clay doll and breathing into it.Search for truth.If god isn't at the end of that search,it really is no god at all,is it?

Answer 3

1 John 5:19 "We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one"

2 Corithians 4:4 "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through."

Satan use everything to make us believe that the bible is FALSE , even use false religion .

Is There a Sound Basis for Your Beliefs?
Your Right to Believe

You probably cherish your right to believe whatever you wish to believe. So does almost everyone else. By exercising this right, earth's six billion inhabitants have produced an amazing diversity of beliefs. Like the variations in color, shape, texture, taste, smell, and sound that we find in creation, differing beliefs often add interest, excitement, and enjoyment to life. Such variety can, indeed, be the spice of life.—Psalm 104:24.

BUT there is a need for caution. Some beliefs are not only different but also dangerous. Early in the 20th century, for example, some people came to believe that Jews and Freemasons had plans to "disrupt Christian civilization and erect a world state under their joint rule." One source of this belief was an anti-Semitic tract entitled Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The tract alleged that the plans included advocating excessive taxation, promoting armament production, encouraging giant monopolies so that 'Gentile wealth could be destroyed in one blow.' Allegations also included manipulating the education system so as to 'turn Gentiles into unthinking beasts,' and even constructing underground railways to join capital cities so that the Jewish elders could 'quell any opposers by blowing them sky-high.'

Answer 4

Girly girl, your faith is being test to find out if it is genuine and true. You will decide to stay in the light or go over to the dark side. (yes, a lame star wars reference).

Any time you run into something that challenges your faith (which is actually good for you!!), you should RUN back to the bible and see what it says. Today, go back and read Matthew chapters 5, 6 and 7. You will either see the light or you won't, but at least you'll know.

Answer 5

Sounds like you're growing up and looking for deeper meaning in the text of your faith.

I will not recommend any path. But I will suggest taking a good look at the different Xian sects out there before turning your back on your mother faith.

& FTR I'm neither a Xian or Atheist.

Answer 6

In my adventure believe is going to the very heart of any courting. i assume human beings do each and every so often forgive it yet i'm unsure they ever completely believe returned. plenty relies upon on you i assume and regardless of in case you could evade being suspicious each and all of the time or bringing it up every time you have a controversy. From what you assert it is easily nicely worth working at yet no longer for ever if the courting is obviously doomed to fail regardless of you the two do.

Answer 7

your faith lies within you; the bible is a guide/an accounting of mankind's relationship with God; Jesus gave us the direct message from God which isn't hard to follow and really makes sense if you think about it; it isn't difficult to follow or do; don't judge, give thanks to God for all we have and have been blessed ; treat others as you want to be treated; help all not just the ones like you; a seed grows in good soil not on rocks; your faith and your relationship is one on one between God and you. You don't throw him away at the slightest persuasion like Judas did; the universe works in perfect harmony without the input of man; we have been provided for; protected by and created; we were given everything that we need; that isn't an accident to have the atmosphere, gravity, oxygen; carbon dioxide; we can't even figure out the bodies that house us and yet we can figure out God; he is there in everything and in everyone including you; don't toss away the greatest gift given , a relationship one on one with God.

Answer 8

Some interesting speculation going on here, I enjoyed part 1 and 2 although what is presented is very far from scientific evidence...lot's of fascinating what-ifs that haven't been fully explained yet.

Answer 9

It wAs designed to destroy ones belief in the words of God in the bible.

Answer 10

The self-authenticating, God-breathed Word contained in the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible is sufficient for faith and practice.
