  What's up, everyone? Today, we're going to take a look at just some comments I wanted to respond to.
• 0:05
  This has been particularly a person that has responded on a lot of my videos,
• 0:09
  and I haven't looked at all of them, but I wanted to just basically just,
• 0:13
  because I do respect how much he has commented on the things that he has said
• 0:17
  about the things that I put online and posted and all the videos I've made and all that.
• 0:21
  I haven't read through them all, but I've read through a bunch of them,
• 0:24
  and I value and respect what he is saying.
• 0:26
  I don't look at all the comments that I that are put on my videos for the most
• 0:30
  part I do try to look at as many as I can But this is I wanted to go through
• 0:34
  just a few and just I honestly I haven't really even dived into the ones I'm
• 0:37
  going to look at so It'll be kind of fresh eyes for both of us.
• 0:40
  All right, so this person I I said I would be saying something to him because
• 0:44
  recently I think he said if you would kind of dialogue and interact with the
• 0:47
  things that i've been posting or Said something like that and I I said yeah,
• 0:51
  i'm going I will make a video about just responding,
• 0:54
  particularly to you, because I haven't really done that on other people,
• 0:57
  but we'll take a look at it.
• 0:58
  So this is at BlueJ693. Hey, man, what's up?
• 1:01
  All right. So we're going to look at some of them videos, and I might even show
• 1:05
  the video that he's responding to and he would put on there.
• 1:07
  I think most of the things he said, but you might see something catch me off
• 1:11
  guard. Let me, hopefully this is actually coming through.
• 1:15
  Okay, this should be coming through. Okay. All right.
• 1:18
  So the very first one, we're going to look at this. He is responding to what
• 1:22
  I put on there of Christ's resurrection proof. He is the son of God.
• 1:26
  Let's see. I'll see if I can actually take a look at the clip.
• 1:29
  No, it'll probably just mess it up if I try to mess with it. Okay.
• 1:31
  He says in the proof that he was who he said it was, was written in a book. Okay.
• 1:38
  Then I am the son of God. I am the son of God. It says it right in there in this comment.
• 1:43
  If you don't believe me, you will spend eternity in New Jersey. Sound ridiculous.
• 1:46
  It's because it is just like Jesus claims.
• 1:50
  I had not seen this one that is very that is and the
• 1:53
  one i'm looking at trying to put on the same thing the
• 1:56
  same screen we're looking at the same thing yep right
• 1:59
  there okay it is on the same one i wanted to show the clip of the video what
• 2:02
  i said because i said christ resurrection proof he is the son of god this is
• 2:06
  this is interesting he and the proof that he was who he said it was i am the
• 2:10
  son he said okay this is a very actually a very smart thing to say i would i
• 2:15
  kind of agree and maybe not smart.
• 2:17
  I don't know. I know he's being a lot of tongue in cheek, but just saying this,
• 2:21
  it's the same feeling that I had. I had before I became a Christian.
• 2:26
  I was like, yeah, let me go get crucified.
• 2:29
  Actually, I don't think I said it. I heard a kid say this, like a high schooler
• 2:33
  say this, and I thought it was...
• 2:34
  Well, yeah, that makes sense. He said, why don't I go get crucified?
• 2:37
  And then everybody write a book about it and everybody believe in me.
• 2:39
  And I was like, yeah, that, yeah, I guess that is kind of what we're saying,
• 2:42
  but there's a lot more to it.
• 2:44
  There's a lot more to it for 2000 years that this man, Jesus has just be just
• 2:49
  taken the world by storm. He didn't write a word.
• 2:52
  And yet we all a focal point of human history is on this, this Jew from Israel
• 2:58
  2000 years ago is incredible. And I've heard that scholars would say,
• 3:03
  oh, there was millions of people who were crucified.
• 3:06
  Yeah, there were millions of people that were crucified, but can you name any other ones?
• 3:11
  We are fixated on this one man.
• 3:14
  And the only reason that we are even fixated on it is because of his crew,
• 3:20
  his apostles, that after the resurrection, they started proclaiming the resurrection,
• 3:24
  that he rose from the dead.
• 3:27
  So like I've said many times, what Jesus claimed is definitely outlandish.
• 3:33
  That he said, you must love me more than you love your parents,
• 3:37
  than you love your children, than you love your own life.
• 3:39
  And if you don't, you're not worthy of me. Those are pretty strong claims.
• 3:43
  And if he was just kind of making it up, he would be the most evil person in
• 3:48
  the world. If he was just making it up.
• 3:50
  If he was just making it up. I know there's the whole, like,
• 3:52
  what did Jesus believe about himself compared to what did the people around
• 3:56
  him believe? Did they get it wrong?
• 3:58
  Did they get it right? I just always am confused. Why would we think that we
• 4:02
  understand what Jesus thought about himself more 2,000 years removed than the
• 4:07
  people that actually lived,
• 4:10
  breathed, and did everything with him for three years? They were with him day and night.
• 4:14
  They heard him speak every day. Why would we think that we got it right on who Jesus is?
• 4:20
  But then those guys got it wrong that that's
• 4:23
  always kind of intrigued me but that's a good point i mean like what if
• 4:26
  you can say the same thing and then said you'll spend the eternity in new
• 4:28
  jersey i love that i've never been to new jersey i
• 4:32
  i don't even know i can't even really say i've heard it's lovely i but do is
• 4:35
  it where people like they want to kind of get out of new york so they go live
• 4:38
  in new jersey or is that is that connecticut i don't know long island where's
• 4:42
  skip bayless go to where did he live you just got to live right outside the
• 4:45
  city so you're just you're in the
• 4:46
  nice burbs but you have a little driving distance to new york i don't know.
• 4:51
  New Jersey might be lovely It might be lovely I want to kind of skip down,
• 4:55
  The next one, he says this, my video was the Bible versus other holy books, key differences.
• 5:02
  Blue Jay, he says, this clip seems to be incomplete. It might've been, I don't know.
• 5:07
  I want to try to like create a clip to maybe draw someone to go see the whole video.
• 5:12
  So I like to try to create something to make, so it has a related video so that
• 5:16
  you can go in and see the whole long form video of it. Maybe to give you a little, like a taste for it.
• 5:21
  I try to, as much as possible, have a complete thought, a complete point of why I'm posting a clip.
• 5:28
  But he says, this clip seems to be incomplete, but extrapolating the fact you
• 5:32
  were saying the Bible is different, and he has in quotes, and then stating other
• 5:37
  religions are created in a short period of time.
• 5:41
  You're going to disagree with that? It says, makes it sound like you're arguing
• 5:45
  for the validity of the Bible in that it was created over a longer period of
• 5:49
  time. this would be evidence against the Bible's validity.
• 5:54
  That parts were added over time, makes it seem more like people just kept adding
• 5:59
  to it, making things up and writing it down.
• 6:02
  If people witnessed miraculous events, they would write things down exactly
• 6:07
  as it happened, and it wouldn't change.
• 6:10
  That's interesting that you're saying that. I don't agree with that.
• 6:14
  But I think because we have like some events are recorded and just the cohesion
• 6:19
  of the Bible, things were written over over this long period of time and it
• 6:24
  comes together perfectly.
• 6:26
  I mean, the things that people say that this is a contradiction,
• 6:29
  this goes against another part.
• 6:31
  It's very so it's so small. It's laughable because it doesn't change anything fundamentally.
• 6:37
  It's the same God from beginning to end. Genesis to Revelation It's the same
• 6:43
  God that we see throughout the Bible So It has a prophecy about Thousands of
• 6:49
  years ago And then a thousand years later It's fulfilled perfectly.
• 6:54
  Like we, our country, I, like I said, our country has not even been here for
• 6:59
  250 years and things that we're going to do now, or aren't, somebody is not
• 7:04
  going to pick up later and just write the complete end of it.
• 7:07
  Then, you know, people are going to move on to different cultures, different lifestyles.
• 7:11
  And it's just that the Jewish nation kept together and they wrote this long
• 7:15
  book over this long period of time.
• 7:17
  It had to be supernaturally guided. That's what I would argue.
• 7:20
  But like because i was pointing out because like the quran and
• 7:23
  the book of mormon itself and a lot of other books that make a
• 7:26
  a religion they're written and they're put together in a
• 7:29
  very short window of time like even jehovah's witnesses and what's the other
• 7:33
  ones you know all the offshoots of christianity that kind of just change the
• 7:37
  viewpoint of who christ is they're written by a person a theology an ideology
• 7:43
  of a man and then it it it just came from a single individual this is like, oh, like,
• 7:49
  like I said, oh, it's like 1600 years and like 40 different authors.
• 7:54
  And they write all these different books. They're not saying,
• 7:58
  oh, I'm continuing this story.
• 7:59
  They're just writing their own book. And that's just the compository of the
• 8:03
  library that we have of the Bible.
• 8:05
  It's just in itself is miraculous. We're not just taking one single writing,
• 8:10
  but we're having all of these books that if you really read through them,
• 8:13
  they, it is evident that it is the word of God.
• 8:16
  God's word says that, is my word not like a fire or not like a hammer?
• 8:22
  Because in the Old Testament, there were a lot of false prophets as well.
• 8:25
  They would prophesy good things. They would say all these great things to make the kings love them.
• 8:30
  But then the true prophets would say things that the kings hate and they would want to kill them.
• 8:37
  But the true prophets, their word would come out to be realized,
• 8:42
  and the prophecies that they would make would be realized.
• 8:45
  So it's like some people can make things that sound great and tickle people's
• 8:50
  ears, but the true word of God is going to smash and just scorch and burn up the false teachings.
• 8:57
  If you compare it, if you really read the Quran and the Book of Mormon and then
• 9:01
  you compare it to the Bible, the 66 books of the Bible, there's no comparison.
• 9:06
  But there's so many other comments that you said.
• 9:09
  I really appreciate it, Blue Jay, all the things that you have written on there
• 9:12
  and the things that you've commented on my videos.
• 9:14
  I mean, that's just like the very, very, very tip of the surface of the things
• 9:17
  that he's put on there. I really appreciate everything.
• 9:19
  And anyone else that puts on there, even the not so fun things,
• 9:22
  the not so nice things, you know, if we all agreed on everything, it wouldn't be as fun.
• 9:28
  It wouldn't be as entertaining. And it wouldn't like probably get to the heart
• 9:31
  of the issues of where we disagree, you know?
• 9:33
  I know we can agree on a bunch of things, but finding out our disagreements,
• 9:38
  then we can kind of figure out who's in the right, who's in the wrong,
• 9:41
  or maybe it's just neutral ground.
• 9:43
  It doesn't really matter, but I appreciate everything that you've,
• 9:46
  all the comments and then everyone else out there.
• 9:48
  So I'll hope if you've enjoyed this video, I've always played the wrong way, but here we go.
• 9:53
  Click on this other video and I will see you on the other side. Peace.
