It's not about the man, or the video. People are focusing on the flawed "human" element that is associated with the Bible, and missing the answers inside.

There's nothing new or amazing about a preacher twisting bible verses to win converts and increase the cash flow of his church. The fact is, I was a Christian for over 20 years and heard it all during that time. Everything they claim look, superficailly at least, to be indisputable. Until you really start investigating the claims. Then you'll find out so much, if you're honest, that you will likely renounce your dogma altogether. It's all a scam, one big huge lie, and none of us need it.
Wrong. The Bible, and Bible sources predate the Hopi.

I have no idea why the mods continuously let you spill out this kind of negative tripe, that has NOTHING to do with the topic.

No. Are YOU kidding? I have read your posts before. You are the one that believes Christianity seems to be one big hoax, orchestrated and supported only to keep control of people through it's "evil". Dude, maybe it wouldn't have been so obvious if you didn't have fifty zillion posts out there, filled with hate, and bitterness, and YOUR opinions.

You're joking right ? Disinformation ? That sounds a little paranoid to me there's no dis info about xtianity dude it's just getting plain old debunked nothing incidents there.
There has been a massive disinformation movement against all things "Christian".
Yet no one is providing any evidence of this so it's just bunkum astrology convince the gullible nonsense. Then it shouldn't bother you any more or less that the people in this forum that discuss the myriad of other sources of prophecy and symbolism in every form from rocks with brand new etchings on them, to Nostradamus, to predictions hidden in the architecture of the pyramids.
.Yes, there is a lot in the Bible that has been panning out as truth.

Hello Muzzle I hope this will help. I will discredit all prophecies in the first video. To sum it all up, he takes small sections of whole chapters out of context to try and prove a point. I will still show him to be wrong. I hope that my critical thinking and basic logic will help you in your scientific pursuits.

On the topic of prophecies in the bible, a couple of months ago I read The Bible Code and The Bible Code 2. These are books claiming that the original bible in the original language can be put through a computer program and through a pattern of skipping x amount of spaces will develop a word with a relating word being found in close proximity to the first. He believes that someone, not human, placed these codes in the bible when God told it to Moses, for us to find so we can prevent certain world events.
Michael Drosnin (author) shows how he found predictions of the Gulf War, the collision of a comet with Jupiter, among many others. He even discovered the assassination of [Israeli Prime Minister] Rabin a year before it became real. He did attempt to warn Rabin, however his claim was obviously over looked. However this attempt benefited him greatly because he then was put in contact with a top scientist in Israel, who also believed in the code. After enough substantial evidence they wrote a paper on their findings and had it published in an American science journal (sorry I don't know what the actual name is, although that could be the name lol).
His method is fairly difficult though because with out knowing what to look for its very hard to find the future predictions but still possible. A lot of his findings are after they happened since he was able know what to look for.
I'm going to cut this post short so I don't ruin the read for anyone interested. And if this explanation isn't quite clear enough feel free to ask me any questions regarding the two books and I will do my best to answer them.

When he led them out of Egypt did he walk with them and hold their hands singing? NO, BUT HE MADE SURE IT HAPPENED THOUGH!!
How can Jews come from the West of Israel from the Persian or Babylonian empires when they never were to the west of Israel? They were from the east and to the north only!!!!!!!!
P.S. The Maccabean Revolt was war against Israeli Jews and the Nephilim who lived after the great flood. A small part of Jordan would not be considered the four quarters of earth.
Trust me, there are many, many Christians that are intelligent, and far from foolish. And, they believe.

The bible does not say the earth is 6000 years old.
Foolish religion and the people following it, use it as an argument.
They simply counted the years back from the ages of the biblical characters. They also take the scripture for real and believe every word it says.
I believe you can find a lot of truth in the bible. You will need to have the correct interpretation. Otherwise it's mainly BS what you find.
Unfortunately this is what most people do find.
For George Carlin there is a star coming your way !!

You will find everything you need to know about the statement I have put forward on this link:

Hail, Azazel, Lord of the Abyss, Ruler and King of the Earth, Ram of the Sun!
You need to actually STUDY the Bible to understand it. People have drawn similarities between Jesus and other Gods/Individuals that have been portrayed in other religions. But, a deeper, in-depth study of the history of Jesus shows enormous differences in character, story and impact on that period of time.
