I recieved an Email from someone on YouTube. In it ask alot of questions to challenge the doubts this man had in his beliefs. His beliefs seemed to have appeared in doubt. I proceeded to answer his questions using the knowledge I have attained of True Christianity! I asked him for an email address because, YouTube would not permit me to send the reply because, it was so long! His Original Message reads:
“I recently watched your video titled, “The Bible is Benevolent.” For months now, I’ve been struggling to comprehend how it is that there’s nothing wrong with the Bible. I may sound crazy, but just hear me out.
I believe that God is doing whatever it takes, i.e. making laws, eradication, and what not, to ensure in a healthy world. I remember watching The Bible is Repulsive, and the video stated many things, saying to kill those who work on the Sabbath, and whatever else.
If there’s one thing I don’t understand, it’s the duty of the human. People say God is testing us, making us undergo challenges to see if we can reach heaven. If God knows all, past, present, and future, why does he test us? It’s a sure thing that his decisions will come to be, is it not?
Why are the good people in the world the ones to die? I’ve been told that God chose them to enter into heaven at that time. Would it be, then, that the human purpose is to die?
About the Bible itself, isn’t it true that Jesus (or God) told humans his words? Humans then recorded it. Can’t it be possible that the recorders made a mistake in remembering his words? There are so many questions, and I’m hoping you can help me follow into the Christian faith.
I have been exposed to different Bible verses, and from what I have picked up, God chooses favorites (such as allowing Noah to live during the 40 day, 40 night flood); sexist (numerous passages say to kill a woman for various things that a man “should” do); dictator (humans have to follow in his ways or they’ll be sent to hell)… and so on. I don’t want to have a sexist, favoritist, dictator for a God. I’m hoping you can help me with my doubts.“
From the beginning I was suspicious of his intentions thinking that he was an unbeliever try to break my beliefs. I showed him the error of his beliefs by writing my message which I said:
“Let me start off by saying thank you for not coming out to bluntly and tell you what the real story here is. I want to point out that the entire Church systemitcally disapprove of what Jesus really taught while keeping them ignorant of the truth and used that to hurt people church officials did not like. Now I am going to give you a breakdown answers to these problems you are encountering in your faith.

>>>This guy pulls off alot of Old testament stuff… You have to say that Old testament stuff is the old God of that time. Now it is the New Testament and you realize its a Same God with a different Outlook. As they say God Has A Plan over time the culmination of that plan is seen. There are 8 Important Issues in the world today that Paul and Jesus Cover. I will share with you 3.
First, Sexuality according to Paul (Romans 1:26-27) says our lust and perversion made us have different sexualities. However, than you look at what Jesus Says (Matthew 11:23-24) saying it was not Homosexuality that doomed the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. First PRECONCONCIEVED NOTION
Second, Race according to Paul (Titus 1:12-13) says that one man represents all his people and should be rebuked. However, Jesus (Matthew 8:5- 
did not care what race of people you came from. Heritage means nothing.
Third, Religion according to Paul (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16) you should not have to do with any other religion. However, with the story of baby Jesus(Matthew 2:2) the three wise men who were not even Jews came to worship him. Stating religion is not the problem eithier.
Well already this does not sound like the Christianity we know of. As for killing during sabbath it is wrong because, Jesus says that sabbath was created for the betterment of man and that man was not created for the sabbath but the sabbath for man. In Matthew 12:11 Jesus sums it up perfectly.
In reply to:
“If there’s one thing I don’t understand, it’s the duty of the human. People say God is testing us, making us undergo challenges to see if we can reach heaven. If God knows all, past, present, and future, why does he test us? It’s a sure thing that his decisions will come to be, is it not?”
He knows the future of his plans. Whether it is God wishing not to know or some spirtual law that is yet to be determined that states that it is your god given free-will that will determine if you will goto him or be seperated from him in eithier case forever. Everything bad whether concievable or not is our faults thats why Jesus tells us to be humble b/c than we realize this.
Selfishness(Ego) or Aultrism is the choice. Will you fight against yourself or indulge your body. Suddenly that saying “You are your own worst enemy” comes into greater focus now.
In reply to:
“Why are the good people in the world the ones to die? I’ve been told that God chose them to enter into heaven at that time. Would it be, then, that the human purpose is to die?”
Good people suffer because, there in compatiable with the society around them. Society is always negative however, what Jesus teaches is positive and that creates spirtual conflict so strong that it effects the physical and its aspects (Mind, Body and Emotions). Inevitably we all die it is a cycle of live every human must die for the original sin however, going to hell or heaven is now to be determined by your actions and not anyone elses thanks to Jesus Christ.
In reply to:
“About the Bible itself, isn’t it true that Jesus (or God) told humans his words? Humans then recorded it. Can’t it be possible that the recorders made a mistake in remembering his words? There are so many questions, and I’m hoping you can help me follow into the Christian faith.”
The 3 original messages without a doubt are:
1. To Love Each Other
2. Treat Those the Way You Want To Be Treated
3. Self-Control/ Not Being Selfish (Self-Fillin The Blank) because, inevitably thats what Satan is Self-Love(Pride) he thinks of him Self. While Christ was Aultruistic. Always Giving everything else that is written espically by Paul is questionable because, Paul could have accidentally or purposefully misunderstood the message or people who edited the bible could have also.
In reply to:
“I have been exposed to different Bible verses, and from what I have picked up, God chooses favorites (such as allowing Noah to live during the 40 day, 40 night flood); sexist (numerous passages say to kill a woman for various things that a man “should” do); dictator (humans have to follow in his ways or they’ll be sent to hell)… and so on. I don’t want to have a sexist, favoritist, dictator for a God. I’m hoping you can help me with my doubts.”
Let me Break this one down even further:
1. God chooses favorites (such as allowing Noah to live during the 40 day, 40 night flood)=
In the story of Noah’s Ark. Noah and his family loved and praised God. Everyone else spited him, hated him and lead a selfish path. Selfishness slows down God’s plan so he pretty much starts off with a brand new clean slate Flooding the planet and killing off unbelievers and saving those who do believe him.
2. sexist (numerous passages say to kill a woman for various things that a man “should” do)=
Again a Paul mis-interpretation and Jesus seems to be magically left out. Paul says that(1 Corinthians 14:34-35) women should shut up in church(leads to sexism) because, it would be rude and sinful otherwise. Jesus says (John 4:27) that he does not care if your a man or a women and no one questioned what Jesus did in that scene. Again another MISUNDERSTANDING left out by Paul.
3. dictator (humans have to follow in his ways or they’ll be sent to hell)=
This one is my favorite to answer. This can be explained with the same answer as Slavery. Paul says (Ephesians 6:5) to obey your masters! However, Jesus says (Matthew 23: you are all bothers and sisters and have one master God! Let me ask you something some guy with a knife pointed at your throat says DO AS I SAY OR ELSE! Another man says Follow Me and All Will Be Well, Dont Listen To That Man And Be Rewarded With Eternal Life. Who are you going to listen to? Jesus says give what belongs to your leaders whats theres and Give to God what is his… However, if the two happen to contradict say with matters of law. Even Jesus broke the Law he didnt listen to the Pharisee’s by healing someone on Sabbath Day. But that inevitably helped that individual.
4. Poverty(… and so on)=
Again Paul says (2 Thessalonians 3:10) No Work No Food! Jesus says (Matthew 25:34-35) when I was thirsty you gave me drink ; hungry gave food for that you shall get heaven. Guess what that Republican ideal of Individual Work Hard Gets Everything is under threat with this writing. Jesus sounds more like a liberal who approves of welfare! Guess what The Republican is the Religious Vote now the democrat seems to turn into the religious vote to. With out getting to political I am going to end this here!

So In conclusion:
1. You must learn to see what Christ says not what Paul or any follower of Paul says. Paul was not the original 12 Apostles in fact he fought with them Arguing how this church should be formed and rules to be followed. Roman Catholicsm and all its denomination (Protest, Evangelism, etc…) FOUNDED ON PAUL more than CHRIST! Paul killed Christians, Than He Became One? There might be some misinterpretation there! You Must learn to see what Christ says otherwise the unbelievers and “Free-Thinkers” will have a field day on you and every other person who mis-interpreted The Bible.
2. I apologize but just in case your really an unbeliever testing my faith… I believe in Jesus Christ his words hold true and his purpose is pure. I dont follow in what the rest of society has been taught with Paul and all his hatred and need for force that led to the torture and killings of people who did not deserve to die during the inquistion, witch hunts and Crusades and other violent events of the church. My faith holds true in Exsistence of God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. For all I know you maybe an unbeliever pretending to be a believer or you may even be the guy who made the video of “The Bible is Repulsive” going through the trouble of making an all new account just to challenge what I believe.
3. Again, I apologize if your not an UNBeliever! I look at your profile its empty on YouTube and theres no confirmation of what you really are… Like a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing or a Sheep so to speak!
Before I go theres one thing I have to say… “The Father does not Judge his son on who he is because, the father is part of the son. However, there two individuals and the father Judges you on what you do. If you mess up and are truly sorry for what wrong you have done than the father can forgive you. It does not matter what you have what matters is what you do with what you have. We are only free when we are free from our possesions and selfishness… ” Thanks for reading this long answer to a few questions I hoped you enjoyed reading as I have writing.
God Bless,
Jim”
I showed this unbeliever because, it has been more than three days since I posted this page asking him for an email address since YouTube would not allow me to send the reply b/c it was long. I still have no Email Address from him…
