Wes Huff answers 10 of the most common (and most difficult) questions skeptics ask about the Bible and Christian teaching.

  1. "BIBLE" is not a word used in the "BIBLE."

    What Has Changed?

    Over the generations, the changes have been so slow that no one noticed them. On the whole, mankind has not remained steadfast in anything Yahuah our Alahim instructed us to walk in. They have remained steadfast to the pagan traditions of men, which have eroded-away the original belief, and slowly replaced it with all the elements of Sun worship. There is an incredible difference between the behavior and terminology that evolved over the centuries.

    For example, we are called Natsarim (branches), not christianos, a term of suffering (1Peter 4:16).

    The first followers of Yahusha would not recognize a single element of what we see in the modern world today. They would not know anyone named JESUS, nor know how Constantine's "day of the Sun" came to be a weekly habit of meeting together at a steeple in the morning. When Yahusha returns, will He find the belief on the Earth? (Luke 18:8).

  2. Begin With The Foundation: HEBREW!

    The Hebrew roots were cut by separating Scripture into their "O.T." and "N.T." This was never intended at all. All the tricks they pulled relied on making people think about this separation of the Scriptures, which Yahusha said cannot be broken / divided (Yahukanon 10:35).

    As Yahuah is immutable, so is His Word.

    The circus promotes that the first Natsarim wrote in Greek, and then took that lie to the next level by inventing a concept they called Dispensationalism, aka Replacement Theology, substituting the "new" belief and people from the "old" paths and those people who lived by it. Believing the LIE has replaced obeying the Commands.

    What people do not realize is the "old covenant" is not the Scriptures written by the prophets, but rather is the process of using animal blood and the old priesthood that administered it (Dt. 31:26). It was the instructions written on an animal hide for the old priesthood to offer animal blood, and it was placed BESIDE the Ark, not in it. This is now permanently rendered obsolete by a perfect offering – Yahusha's blood, which we now place our trust in (Hebrews 8:13).

    Christianity programs people with their mistranslations, using language alterations to manipulate and confuse, relating things that are unrelated. The final result is a composite of every pagan practice they could patch together into a monstrous chimera.

    I've used Frankenstein's monster as a metaphorical example that exemplifies a patchwork of body parts that project an image of a living being, but are dead parts only made to look like they are alive.

    The world wondered after the BEAST (Rev. 13:3).

  3. I attended this event in Denver. Felt dupped too. They said at the event we would be “Gaining biblical insights and perspectives on stewarding money, resources, and influence” . But the entire day was a giant advertisement for paying more money to do those things. Yes there was live music and yes there were motivational speakers, but zero info on “stewarding money, resources, and influence” . And it was such a long day that I didn’t even make it until the end when Tebow spoke.

  4. That part of judging Beethoven based on how I play his music…..very good analogy on Christian people and pastors and imperfect churchianity….Christ Himself is the example and Source of the Church.

  5. Eternal conscious torment is a false doctrine.
    Don’t believe me?
    Ask yourself: why would God require a more strict punishment on unbelievers than what he placed on Christ?
    So you’re saying that the unbeliever has to pay a higher penalty for his sin than Christ paid for ours?
    That makes no sense and it isn’t true justice.
    No earthly judge whatsoever would pass a sentence of say 3 months continuous torture on a criminal, no matter how heinous the crime. Yet you say that God will torment the unbeliever for all eternity for a short life of sin?
    You’re saying that the earthly judge had more of a sense of justice than God does??
    Insanity.

  6. As an agnostic (raised Catholic, but never really believed) who's trying to make that connection, I've boiled it down to "God is Truth and Truth isn't always logical." mainly because I'm a very logical person and struggle with Faith. If you strive for Truth, you'll get there. But don't take my word for it.

  7. Ezekiel says God created light and formed darkness, he made peace and created evil. He did this when he created man, man given free will chose an alternative to God. He chose his own way. So the idea of evil comes from us and a demarcation with God. Our understanding and calling to him is about letting him work in us and repenting the old way. When we do we get to the point where Paul was when he said if I live or die it is to Christ. Paul faced hardship of all sorts, died a terrible death but lived for Christ all the way bearing his cross.

  8. Suffering: sure without objective good and evil the suffering is pointless to a degree but Christianity doesn't give you objective good and evil. I would ponder the question of if god asked you to go torture and kill a room of babies, would that be a good thing? If you have read the Bible and take it literally, then yes. God commands evil many times in the Bible and does evil things. Your only objective moral claim is that whatever God says to do is good or the right thing to do which seems as fleeting as any moment. Also without direct consistent communication with God, how are you to know if what you are doing is right or wrong?

    Justice and hell: If God is truly justice, how could he allow a man like David berkowitz, the Son of Sam, who in his final years of life became a Christian into heaven after the atrocities he has committed? How could God send someone like Mahatma Ghandi to hell, literally eternal consious torment if you believe in the colloquial hell, for not believing in Jesus? That doesn't sound like a God who wants justice, only a God who wants obedient followers.

    Science and Scriptire: Science and scripture are not mutually exclusive. There are plenty of Christian scientists after all. However if you do not take the Bible as literal or infallible then I would argue that you aren't much of a Christian to begin with. If you do, then it is likely because you do not care much for evidence or logic which are foundational principles to being a scientist.

    Reliability of the bible: Archeologically there is not sufficient evidence to assume that there was an exodus out of Egypt and before that point there isn't any evidence to support the rest of the Bible's claims in the old testament. Using historians, who keep in mind were alive when it would have been a death sentance to not be Christian, that used the Bible as evidence for what happened thousands of years ago when it was likely the default belief in western society is VERY faulty logic and assumes that these historians were perfect. Which clearly by nature of being human are not.

    Christian Sexual Ethics: Sin in Christianity is the intentional defiance of God. If you believe that homosexuality is a sin then you are reading the text wrong because sexuality is not a choice. It is mapped in anatomy and brain chemistry very clearly. Sodomy being a sin, I can understand given the definition of sin, however something that God created you with inherently is not a sin.

    The resurrection: The gospels are not consistent when it comes to the resurrection in particular, this suggests that the gospel authors would gladly lie to further a goal and it would explain why each subsequent gospel gets more and more incredible as you go chronologically. Keep in mind also that the earliest and least fantastical gospel is widely accepted to have been written I believe 80 years after the resurrection supposedly happened. The rest only get further and further from that. Also the eye witnesses that supposedly saw the resurrection was an idea made up by Paul or Peter I can't remember which. Also also resurrection should not be your automatic assumption since at that time period and in the way it supposedly happened it would have been impossible. Also also also if you want to say that the time that the gospels were written doesn't matter, take into account that the people who supposedly wrote them were illiterate and would have spoken the local language, not Greek which is the earliest copy of the new testament.

  9. All religions create separation and does not foster true spirituality. True spirituality is no separation of anything. Anything that practices exclusively is not spirituality. The only God is the God that do not exist. Pure Existence.
