This is where I disagree with you. The Bible does have many falsehoods, evidence of magic/witchcraft and mystical nonsense. I expect people at Fakeologist to realize this given how much we have discovered is fake or a magick trick.
Could be.
I just went through the guys channel, dumbchristian2, and listened to a few videos, trying to understand his point of view.
I can share some criticism. But saints are not seen as Gods but as humans with special charisma in the church.
Personally the attributed "wonders" are not the best argument to me to say the least.
Either Paul, Acquinas, Francis of Assisi are canonised saints in the organisation called the Catholic church. This process is by no means perfect; shown by "fake holocaust" priests being sanctified. Or the Medici banker popes in the 15th and 16th century.
Jesus has a special place for me. As does the Gospel. As does the holy spirit. I find it weird myself I am a truth seeker, but I consider wonders a possibility.
E.g. I find the thought that God shaped the world and the animals 8000 years ago more likely than billions of years of "evolution" with dinosaurs and dodos.
I have been reading Gospel attentively with groups of people and I can just say it has deep meaningful value that I have seen in no text before.
There is something special here. Outside of the human realm.
I consider Jesus' wonders. But in my personal faith it's not the core. I consider it mostblikely walking on water is not real.
But I see in Jesus Gods guidance on his message in the old testament.
We as men are seekers, seekers for truth, and I think we can barely grasp Gods greatness. Jesus comes closest.
I think we are merely ants trying to grasp a thing.
And the broad Bible is the best we have to get to some basic understanding of truth.
Anyhow I have seen nothing better. With these freaks ruling us today.
The odysee guy is cursing god, cursing Jesus in his podcast, cursing all saints, but provides no alternative. Just calls them all Jews. And all corrupt. Thats not beneficial.
That's sad.
