And I never said the video stated as much. Please note the quotation marks. However, the message of the video is quite clear: Jesus is unnecessary to avoid hell and wind up in heaven. In effect, he's been written out of the salvation equation.The thread title is false. The video does not state Jesus is written out of the Salvation Equation.
Which I assume means that one HAS TO accept Jesus as their lord in order to be saved. If so, then explain away all the verses he quotes.Prayerfully no one who seeks to know what Christianity is takes that man seriously. His omission is deadly.
The quotation marks rightly represent the video title itself. The latter part of the thread title is your addition.And I never said the video stated as much. Please note the quotation marks.
Wilful ignorance or patent stupidity.Which I assume means that one HAS TO accept Jesus as their lord in order to be saved. If so, then explain away all the verses he quotes.
The man is simply trying to promote a false doctrine that espouses an ages old falsehood. Works saves.
That the man hopes to teach Jesus isn't necessary for salvation is his ignorance or fault.
The very real fact is Jesus can never be written out of the Salvation equation because the Bible is written to put Jesus squarely within the Salvation equation. Man's omission is not greater than God's plan.

very true. Unfortunately the OP author saw fit to try that method so as to denounce the part of Jesus in Salvation.I know cherry picking verses is a neat way to resolve scriptural difficulties, but simply ignoring the other verses doesn't make them go away.

Honestly, I believe he did it to show how badly Christians must cherry-pick the Bible in order to make their case. If Christians paid any attention to the passages he quoted they'd be in a whole mess of trouble trying to reconcile the contradictory messages.very true.

Yes, it is pathetic. But here we are.

No.
The Bible isn't written for unbelievers to understand. That's why an unbeliever thinks that there are passages in scripture that remove Jesus from the Salvation equation.
When in truth that does not happen in scripture.
The video was made by someone who cherry picks the scriptures . They know their motives. While Christians know that passage the video producer refers to is not a controversial scripture.
Context is key. This is something that video producer is clearly unaware of.
It makes perfect sense to me, but that's only because I happen to be righteous.So, if this doesn't make sense, why not?

I have my moments. However, I am a Christian. If you don't like actual answers that conflict with your hope that Christ can be found to be extricated from the Salvation scriptures, don't post errant videos that can be proven false..You funny guy!
Your mere assertion that they're false means zilch.I have my moments. However, I am a Christian. If you don't like actual answers that conflict with your hope that Christ can be found to be extricated from the Salvation scriptures, don't post errant videos that can be proven false.
If you haven't noticed, I'm an agnostic, so I hardly have an issue with any god. If I have any issues concerning god, primarily the Abrahamic one, it's with what his followers say about him. On the whole they're not very astute folk.You have an issue with God. So what. That's your issue.
Not sure what you consider to be the "Salvation scriptures," so your remark here isn't very meaningful.The Salvation scriptures are clear and concise.
Ahhh, You believe you're skilled or learned in apologetics do you. So, which one is it, skilled or learned, and why do I get the feeling you're neither? Hmmmmm. . . . . . . In any case, in view of your rather caustic responses here, it's evident the video has hit pretty close to home. Much closer than you're willing to admit.The video guy? Is either inexperienced, an atheist that wants to think they've found a most controversial scripture that actually is no such thing for those skilled or learned in Apologetics, or he's a Troll who hopes his video is found worthy of sharing in forums where his kind live to throw phlegm at The Word by hoping to attack the word.
