And the time to total corruption may be shorter. Look at how bad humanity became before the flood when people lived hundreds of years! People lived longer, so sin manifested to such a greater degree that according to Genesis 6:5 (NIV), “The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” The apostle Paul explains that all humans are born with sin inside of us: Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. Ephesians 2:1–3 (NLT) So, if we don’t obtain salvation through Jesus, we will all manifest greater degrees of wickedness as time passes. Second Timothy 3:12–13 (NIV) says, “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” Without the Spirit of God to help us overcome the sin within us, the force of sin grows. With enough time, sin will dominate our thoughts and actions. That is because as we feed on our pursuits of pleasure, our sinful nature grows in force. What you feed will grow stronger. The sinful nature eventually overwhelms any of our human efforts to be good. And as sin’s domination over our soul prospers, we become hardened in our hearts. A lost person eventually gives in to the selfishness that drives them. Some people have had life circumstances that caused them to fall faster and deeper into sin than others. But eventually, without salvation through accepting Christ, the corruption of evil will reach satanic heights. It doesn’t matter what level of sinfulness a person is at when they die physically; even a speck of sin keeps a person out of heaven and sends them to hell. That is because sin is not static. ******Sin corrupts progressively, irreversibly, absolutely, and completely given enough time. Even a speck of sin is the seed of a future satanic being within. ****** Frank made the comment in another video, "Who says a person quits sinning after they die?" So, the “nice people” who die without Christ must go to the same hell as Hitler. I hope you can now see why God sees all nonbelievers as His enemies. No matter how kind and gentle a nonbeliever may seem to you at the moment, God sees the sin inside them growing. Colossians 1:21 (NLT) says, “This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.”>> <<@meifanglim9697 says : God is forever good... Human are greedy and ugly... They blame on God when they are evil... They themselves are evil... Not God...>> <<@raphmarcotte7379 says : You still can see the same type of hyperbolic language comming from muslim's apologist, especialy arab one...>> <<@Username34823 says : Remember, its Gods word unless it makes you feel horrible and then you take it out of context. Numbers 31:17-18 (NASB): "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. But spare for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately.">> <<@jenniferromero571 says : Dumdum dumdums i swear.>> <<@heyjoe113 says : I dare say that's a bit of a stretch. I'm still struggling with these chapters. And I still don't have an answer to all the violence.>> <<@edgarmorales4476 says : Christians are happy to accept and wholeheartedly believe "God" reputedly instructed Moses to engage in aggressive procedures and massacres when conquering the "promised land." A beautiful and productive land was callously grabbed from hard working people who were slain in their thousands. This was regarded as the right thing to do since "God" had promised the Jews a beautiful land in which to settle. To this day, Christians believe that since "God" spoke to Moses, it must be "God" who decreed the ensuing bloodshed. There are many similar horrific descriptions of war and bloodshed in the Bible considered permissible - just and right - all because it is believed that "God" had instructed some of his followers to go to war - against non-believers. Can you not see in the history of the Jews, the rampant EGO-DRIVE in which even "God" is "used" to exempt them from blame? In the moment of self-aggrandizement, it became permissible and equitable to ignore the Ten Commandments and indulge in wholesale massacre. They believed no sin is involved because the killing has been ordained by "God." What a "God!" Can you not also perceive why it was necessary for Jesus to be born in Jerusalem to live among the Jews in an effort to help them see that their religious beliefs and practices are all contrary to the very Nature of GOD who has truly given us life and being? Since then, down the centuries, religionists still battle with the concept of "sin" and grieve concerning the way they "offend" God and beg for forgiveness. Long ago, the Jews sacrificed animals beyond number in the Temple in Jerusalem, to "appease" God and to hopefully escape the effects of their sins. Since that time, innumerable books have been written on the subject, expressing grief and horror at the condition of the souls of men, seeking ways to change their behavior, beating themselves with whips to torture the flesh and make it pay for its wrongdoing in thoughts, words and deeds, and many of these books have been applauded by "Christians" throughout Europe and housed within the archives of religious institutions. They bind people to the age-old persona of Jesus, preaching the "salvation of man from punishment for his sins" by the death of Jesus on the cross. As it has been said before, these beliefs are physically impossible and contrary to the facts of creation. No payment is extracted for "sin" by any superior "Deity." This is a human concept entirely - and pagan. All bloodletting of any description for the purpose of religious rites is paganism. Therefore, the Christian church is nothing less than a "glorified" version of paganism. When people make other people unhappy in any way, they are creating their own future "comeback." Not as retribution, but as a "consciousness activity of creation." Therefore, it is a matter of urgency that these beliefs in "sin" and "salvation by the death of Jesus on the cross" should be strongly combated - and replaced - by the spiritual wisdom given to us in the original teachings of Jesus (the Christ Letters, A Course In Miracles and A Course Of Love).>> <<@IHDTFJ07 says : Sounds like an excuse to make feel people better. How about this, God created all things and He does what ever He wants. He doesn't need to explain Himself.>> <<@154deltadawn says : No. This interpretation of the OT is ridiculous. Trash talk, come on.>> <<@dagwould says : There is so much violence in the Bible, because the Bible is the book of God's working through the fallen, corrupt and depraved world to seed his kingdom and bring the renewal of the world. He works in this sh*t-can of a world to bring his ends about despite it. If he just bulldozed it he would end all evil immediately: by ending all life, as in the flood! As one of the other comments implies, the question itself presumes a neutral position, but we are all that violence, in our unregenerate state.>> <<@justincameron9661 says : 👍👍👍👍>> <<@The-F.R.E.E.-J. says : Do you have a video where you deal with the fact that Saul was admonished, by God through Samuel, for not destroying every living thing, *LITERALLY,* as he was ordered to?>> <<@deshon3523 says : Because our hearts are full of vengeance and darkness.>> <<@Larry660 says : So, the Bible is not the infallible word of god, but an historical narrative written by fallible humans, and subject to interpretation.>> <<@JamesRichardWiley says : If God is good, why is there so much violence in the Bible? Because God loves violence. He is an angry, jealous god who is sorry he made mankind. Why can't you see that, Frank?>> <<@bonnie43uk says : The problem with Paul Copans answer, that much of this was actually hyperbole, is that, if it's hyperbole, why is it being done in Yahweh's name, if this is God's Holy book, and God is supposedly this all loving all knowing supernatural being, why does he allow the authors to write about these horrific slaughters in Gods name?, they appear to be done with Yahweh's blessing. If God is against all these women and children being butchered, he sure looks like it's being done in his name. We know for a fact that the 1st casualties of war are the innocent civilians, just look at what's happening now in Gaza, with the wanton slaughter of women, children and babies.>> <<@oldol12 says : Yeah, this video didn't answer anything really. Coming from a Christian, sorry.>> <<@abhishekalfred3452 says : There is so much violence in the newspapers too. Whats the point?>> <<@2018wrxaddict says : God is good. People are not.>> <<@cammobox says : "We left no survivors" doesn't preclude the possibility of those who hid and were not found, or those who ran away during or prior to the battle and were not destroyed.>> <<@logicalatheist1065 says : God of the bible only exists in the bible, one of the most fictional books in existence. Its described as evil due to the men who made it up.>> <<@seanpittaway5341 says : The question you should be asking but none of you ever will is, IF YOUR LIE WAS TRUE, WHY WOULD HE LEAVE HIS MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO BE PASSED ON BY THE ONLY ANIMAL THAT CAN LIE TO EACHOTHER AND THEMSELVES! oh, and a bonus question, IF YOUR LIE IS THE MOST POWERFUL BEING THAT HAS EVER BEEN HOW COULD MORTAL MAN HURT IT, LET ALONE KILL IT! Your god being as petty as he is is proof enough for me that he was made up in man's image>> <<@marcusmuse4787 says : because humans can be very bad.>> <<@morlewen7218 says : The trash talk excuse is really... trash. Nobody should use it. 1) it is not convincing: Let's look at 1 Samuel 15. Yahwe gave a great trash talk to Saul about murdering all members of the Amalekites. After the blood bath Yahwe was very angry with Saul. What was the reason? The murder of innocent infants and fetuses? No, Yahwe was angry because Saul did not murder enough. If Yahwe says utterly destroy them then he expects exactly this: muder everybody including infants and fetuses. 2) The trash talk argument trivializes genocides. Let's look at Numbers 31. Moses commanded the murder of about 32k male infants/virgins and an unknown numbers of fetuses.The female virgins were taken as plunder. Even Yahwe wanted 32 of the virgin for himself. Let's say the 32k was trash talk and only 1000 male virgins were murdered and a unknown number of fetuses. Is the act now less cruel and abominable? What is the treshold for the t transition from not so bad to horrible? 100, 500 or more? 3) Genocide deniers use similar excuses: "It was not that bad. Look, there are still members of the involved ethnicity alive." If we follow that logic nothing horrible happened to Jews, Armenians, Tutsis, Hereros or native Americans because there are still members of them alive. Paul Copan is a supreme example how bad excuses and apologetic can be.>> <<@msmd3295 says : "Trash talk", hyperbole, etc may have been a common phenomena [even more so in modern times] but the real question is, what really happened or matters? Hyperbole is not "truthful" but is an exaggeration of events. If something is an exaggeration, just how accurate can it be? One could use hyperbole as a complete fabrication, a fiction or even a lie. Hyperbole casts doubt upon actual events. How much truth is "factual"? Take the report of Jeremiah and the destruction of Jericho. There is a consensus among modern archologists of both christian and arabic cultures that the city of Jericho was a DESERTED city at least 100 years BEFORE the time of Jeremiah. Thus the biblical story of Jeremiah routing the inhabitants of Jericho and then burning the city down is more likely nothing but a fable, a "story" made up for some biblical purpose.>> <<@majm4606 says : _'Nah, my book isn't false. And let me prove it by emphasizing how common it was to say false things back then.'_ Also the entire vid doesn't exactly address the question, does it? The idea that evil could exist in the first place if an all-good, all-knowing, all-powerful god existed is simply ridiculous. But if such a being were sent to a different reality where evil already existed, we'd expect them to be the Most Perfect Diplomat at defusing violence, and the Most Perfect Everything Else for solving all other forms of evil. Yet here we are. In the real world. With a reality that looks nothing like that.>> <<@ythatesfacts says : Now Paul got me thinking of Xbox Live rooms if they were in 2500 b.c>> <<@Crosshair84 says : I have another perspective on this issue: Think of God as a trauma surgeon. Trauma surgeons do truly horrific things to people, but that's taking what they do out of context. A Trauma surgeon often takes someone who has no hope of survival and makes survival possible. What does that entail? Cutting away what cannot be saved so that what can be saved will live. Often times that involves cutting out large chunks. As time passes, less and less needs to be cut away until finally no more needs to be removed. The patient is saved and will live. God took a world that was without hope of salvation and made salvation possible. Anything that stood in the way of that goal needed to be removed. Especially given that God gave those people plenty of opportunity to repent. As time went on, less and less needed to be removed until finally Jesus came and made salvation possible. Great. Now nothing more needs to be cut away.>> <<@somerandom3247 says : So your explanation is that the bible is lying about those things? You are getting very close to being a nonbeliever.>> <<@Uncle_Buzz says : Hogwash.>> <<@japavlic1 says : Very interesting.>> <<@RangerRyke says : That's a sly title, it should say "If God is good, why is he so violent?" or "If God is great why does he need to exarate/lie?">> <<@user-gv8xf9ul5j says : Because god wanted suffering>> <<@ajgibson1307 says : Amen and God bless>> <<@Thyalwaysseek says : The Bible is a collection of allegorical stories not a literal version of historic events.>> <<@DRayL_ says : So,...........a "perfect god", who gave people the words to say, .....uses untrue "rhetoric" rather than speaking actual factual truth? Okay. Check. And this didn't actually answer the question title of the video.....not that it really matters. I don't consider it a good question to begin with.>> <<@kayc.8283 says : or the book has flaws in it.>> <<@teks-kj1nj says : Aha right, now I get it, we can't believe anything we read in the bible. Got it, thanks>> <<@alienvisitor8393 says : imagine making such creative trash talks that your words were written in the holy book as history>> <<@Mavors1099 says : Because the bible wasn't written/inspired by any god (good or bad) but by people from a violent civilization of the middle East in the age of bronze.>> <<@paulrivalto1974 says : S-elf, I-sh, N-ess still the problem..... Christ Jesus still the only cure!>> <<@Jason-Austin says : The question being asked doesn't make sense: Unbelievers like to think that this world, as it currently is, should be a 'paradise' with no violence, evil or suffering, that is not the case at all, there has always been violence on the earth, ever since Cain slew his brother Abel in the Garden.>> <<@stephenkaake7016 says : I am God Frank, no one was killed, including Jesus Frank>> <<@MsPrecious61 says : Israel is dealing right now with what happens when ones enemies are not taken care of. Wickedness remains. I have my own "Hamas" wicked family members and have had to learn to stay away from them>> <<@jamesw4250 says : Because god isn't good. He is evil.>> <<@mindhollow3436 says : Because the Bible is (also) our history, humanity's history, and our history is one of violence.>> <<@cnault3244 says : "If God is good" Assuming god exists, that's a big if. According to the Bible god is sometimes good and is sometimes bad... and unjust and immoral.>> <<@willievanstraaten1960 says : I have said for a long time that the Bible is all trash talk.>>
