Christ told us to come to Him as a child. Would a parent condemn a child to death for a procedural transgression? Surely not! A child may be scolded but gets as many opportunities as he needs to right himself in the eyes of the parent because the parent is loving. Is God less loving than that? If He is, then surely we are all lost to damnation for any failure to keep the laws. Didn't Christ come to renounce that impossible wall between his people and The Father, and the elitists who built it?
But there was a parable about a poor man and a rich man the poor man was devoted to God the rich man was devoted to himself
One day the poor man asked for money from the rich man. the rich man turned him away one day they both died the poor man went to heaven the rich man went to hell the rich man looked up from hell into heaven and asked for some water the poor man obliged but by the time the water got to hell it evaporated
What about the story of the rich man and Lazarus, narrated by the Lord? (Luke 16:22) The rich man dies, and the verse that follows says "and in hell, he lifted up his eyes.." People DO get taken directly to hell, where they await the day of judgement. After judgement day, they are sent to the lake of fire along with Satan and his demons, where their torment knows no end. I invite you to support your belief with scripture.
none of the apostles taught this doctrine, Jesus Himself emphasized repentance and belief in Himself as Lord and Savior while still alive.. Zo, you brought out some new doctrine, I was waiting for it to be backed by some verses, but you never provided any. As influential as you are with a channel of your own, God would expect you to be more responsible with your power and talent. Have you researched this topic enough? Because non-Christians are going to use this to form their view of salvation.
Wrong on many accounts. Blasphemy is rejection of the Holy Spirits testimony of Jesus here on earth. If one refuses listen to the Holy spirit testimony (The Father, the Son have given their testimony), this happens while you are alive, once you are dead and have not accepted Jesus as your savior, you have committed this sin. It will not be forgiven. You getting a second chance after your dead is a MORMON false belief.
Jesus said "...For my Father's will is that EVERYONE who looks to the SON and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." Good news! Yes I am a conservative, but political party won't save you~only the blood of Jesus can. "...Apart from me (Jesus) you can do nothing." John 15:5 But thanks be to God that in Christ we are the righteousness of God. (2 Cor. 5:21) The Rich man and Lazarus? Now is the time to trust in Christ. Luke 16:19-31 read it!
I am in Christ Jesus. Redeemed. "And by that will we have been made HOLY through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus ONCE FOR ALL." Hebrews 10:10. Have' y'all noticed all of the differing views from "Christians" here due to denominational differences? "Yet to all who received Him, to all who believed on His name, He gave the right to become CHILDREN OF GOD." John 1:12 Question...does the gospel mean "good news" or "good grief"? Just something to ponder based on God's Word...
If the wages of sin is DEATH, how can there be an eternal hellfire? I recall there being another few hundred verses making such comments about death, one of which being a 2nd death to those who are not saved. That just doesn't make much sense does it? Death is being dead, dying twice would mean "burning in hell forever?" Doesn't the bible say all men will die, but those who believe in the Son will be GIVEN eternal LIFE? Wouldnt being dead forever, be a 2nd death & without eternal life? hmmmm
Fear not he who can kill the body, but who can kill the body and soul. I also can't help but think of the verse where one of the apostles asked the Messiah, "how might we gain eternal life?" ... sounds to me like we aren't eternal beings. Nothing ever says we have eternal souls, only that we will be GIVEN eternal souls if we follow Him. Hey, doesn't the bible say that Hell itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be torched? This just gets more and more curious huh?
For that matter, the bible never says any of us are going to "heaven". There will be a new Earth, New Jerusalem actually. How can we die and "go to heaven" when the bible says that we will all be judged on the last day. Even the sister of Lazarus said, "I know that he will live again on the last day". So obviously Lazarus isn't in heaven, nor was he ever promised to be.
Zo you should really reexamine the bible because you are contradicting scripture and condoning life long sin and teaching its all good because you can be saved after you die. This is idolitry. You're creating a god who is unjust.
@ArboriusOwns 'Zo didn't say that. He said something more like this:
"I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power[e] within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. --Rom 7:22-25
Zo hasn't defended himself once in any of these comments. Politics, you make a lot of sense, but on Christianity, you gave no scripture reference. You kinda failed on this one. Hell is a holding place until final judgment, and then lost souls will be cast into the lake of fire. Unsubscribed.
Zo, I love what you have to say reguarding politics, but I completely disagree with your opinions on religion. Just some advice from one Christian to another, if you are trying to make a point about Chirstianity, use some scripture to back up what you have to say. No where in the bible does it say that no one goes to hell imediately after you die. There is a real hell and unless you accept Jesus as your personal savior while on earth, you will be in hell.
I love you 'Zo, and usually you're pretty right on about things, but on this I don't agree. I can't think of any sciptures that support this theology.
What complete HORSE SHIT about not having value in god means not having value in humanity. Morals have nothing to do with "God" unless you cannot manage to figure out the "golden rule" on your own. At like 5.
I don't have any problems with Christianity or any other religion on it's basis but to suggest I am less moral because I do not know god than you, who doesn't know him either, you know HUMAN WRITINGS about "I Am". Humans are fallible therefore the "knowledge" you have of "god" is false.
I Also love Zo, but how does this compare to Luke 16:19-31? Where Lazarus dies and is with Abraham and the rich man dies and is in hell? He wants to go back and tell his family but i'sent allowed to. You make your decision here, not after you die. Jesus is there for those who believe as their defense lawyer. The man that dies without that contract, stands alone.
@dean2cool4u That is a parable. The Messiah never spoke to the crowds unless in parable. Every parable starts with, "there once was a ..." The Poor man represented Christianity, who sat at the gates of the temple, begging for "scraps of salvation" from God's chosen people. The rich man wore priestly robes, were pharisees who were full of pride & twisted the law. The bible says you have no body after death, no tongue to quench, no finger to dip into water. A parable, nothing more.
@DontFriendInviteMe A parable starts everytime in the bible with "and he spake the parable." If it says "a certain man" it means it is a true actual person. Lazarus and the rich man are not a parable, they were two actual people who had that same literal conversation.
@jcelso6232 wronnnnngggg! The bible actually says that he NEVER SPOKE to the crowds EXCEPT in parable. Every other parable begins with HIM SAYING, "There was a certain..." no cigar, do not go to Go, no get out of jail free card for you.
@girzwald3 "especially when you are seeing and all knwoing". Very good point, should we leave it up to him to decide what is just and what isn't? Maybe he knows about the condemned souls than we do. Isaiah 55:8 "my thoughts are not your thoughts" says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine"
At 3:21, you say that God is a just god. I refer you to Exodus 12:29. How just is it to smite the firstborn of every man and every cattle in an entire land?
Yes, ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. That's why we all need the saving/cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus isn't our lawyer...he paid our fine. We have the choice of whether or not to accept Jesus' grace and mercy but if we have not put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to save us from God's just wrath before we die it is too late. Osama Bin Laden did not repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before he died. So he indeed will burn in hell.
Zo, I can of get what you are saying about Judgment day. But when people wait to go to court they sometimes are sometimes kept in jail (Although, American justice system isn't the model for God's.) Check it out: "And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death and hell gave up the dead in them. And they were each judged according to their works." Rev 20:13. What about Luke 16:19-31?
Bin Laden may be spared, because he killed in the blindness of false religion, but I'm not too sure about Hitler. He took down crosses, murdered fully knowing the 10 commandments, and committed suicide out of cowardice.
@Tommy9834 Hitler was not a follower of god, he only pretended to be to pander to the majority of the German population who were followers of god. And Israelites do not kill for the reasons liberal atheists like to believe. That's not to say none of them ever kill for the wrong reasons, but for the most part they are good people who usually kill only when they have to, not because they want to. One more thing, the inquisition had more to do with politics than religion.
@Tommy9834 A lot of people in the dark ages only used religion as an excuse to kill people they don't like, and they conveniently ignored the scriptures that say "love your neighbor as you love yourself" and "judge not lest ye be judged".
@Tommy9834 and anyone else for that matter. The Crusades had nothing to do with Christianity, it had to do with Catholics vs. Muslims. Both aren't Christian religions. I don't care how much they self-identify themselves with Christianity, their core doctrines (i.e. lies) send people straight to hell. The warning Christ gave in Matthew 23 can be directly applied to the Roman Catholic Papist Infastructure. Israel and real Christians generally speaking have only ever killed in defense, NOT offense.
@jcelso6232 "...The Godless have killed far FAR more"
That was the statement, he said, not "Did they follow the scriptures". The issue was whether or not these people believed in God, which they did and they killed alot more then the "Godless"
dang Zo.... generally I agree with you but here you are just clearly wrong and blatantly ignoring all kinds of verses.
Jesus himself said "I am the way and the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father except through me"... and again "he who believes (in him) AND has been baptized shall be saved. He who disbelieves shall be condemned".
The fact that we have all sinned is not the point. The point is WHEN and HOW are we forgiven of that sin. We don't condemn Bin Laden. Jesus clearly does.
@BreathlessProduction It seems to me that what you are saying is the same point that Zo is trying to make. The only difference is that Zo is saying that people have the chance to accept Christ as their Savior and repent even as they are being judged by God Himself. I don't know if Zo is right or not, but I hope so. Only God has the wisdom to pass judgement on a person's eternal soul, and I for one am grateful for that.
@BreathlessProduction It isn't up for us to decide whether Osama is in hell or not. As a catholic I believe that people can be forgiven of any sin even at the last moments of their lives.
@lilpeaceacrap No offense, but what you believe is completely irrelevant if it doesn't coincide with what Jesus clearly says. Just as mine is, your opinion is completely worthless. Show me what Jesus says. "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me". Unless Bin Laden rejected his Muslim faith on his deathbed and was baptized to have his sins washed away - he is in hell, and that is not my opinion, that is how Jesus says it will be. That goes for everybody
@BreathlessProduction That's the thing I know Jesus said that but whose to say Bin Laden didn't do that. We would all think he's in hell but that is not up for us to decide. And if anyone thinks the only thing you have to do to get to heaven is believe in Jesus Christ you are sadly wrong.
@BreathlessProduction "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me (Jesus) is mightier than I . . . He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (Matthew 3:11-12). "Who","When" and "How" is up to THE LORD ALONE.
Just in case you want to know, Matt 3:11-12 was fulfilled in Acts chapt 2 (see Acts 1 5-8, then continue reading all the way to the end of Acts 2). That event was the pouring out of the Spirit upon ALL flesh (Acts 2:17) and was not the moment of salvation (otherwise everyone would be saved). It was signified the availability of the Spirit for ALL MAN KIND. They still had to be baptized in water for forgiveness (Acts 2:38 ; ACTS 8:35-38). Yes, "the Lord alone", and as he said!
@BreathlessProduction I appreciate the reference. I observe that most Biblical messages have both a literal and metaphorical meaning. The Bible shows baptism as a ritual sacrament and a metaphor for demonstrative repentance. All that is required for this sacrament is a witness and a free will. It is precisely why Baptists do not acknowledge infant baptism. 'Zo points out that God will do as he pleases. 1 Cor 13 shows us love always prevails. God knows the intent of man. The names are written.
There is a difference between metaphorical phrases, such as those found throughout the book of Revelation, and a practice that they physically did and were COMMANDED to do (Acts 10:48 - not simply because of "ritual"). The purposes of baptism are not presented in the way that you say... However it is defined to "wash away sin" (Acts 22:16), how we get "into the body of Christ" (1 Cor 12:13), how we are "clothed with Christ" (Gal 3:27). Let the bible define what it accomplishes
When you talk politics, you can just run your mouth--and I will applaud you, because you're realy smart, and really funny--but if you wanna talk theology, plz use Scripture references to back up your points (like my brother and I do in our youtube series Controversial Warriors), otherwise it's just your opinions on the matter.
Dude, I was waiting for the surprise twist at the end when you turned around and quoted the Bible... Kind of set up a controversial sounding question, make it seem like one thing, then turn the other direction... But, alas, for once I'm disappointed in you. What, are you catholic? You're getting awfully close to purgatory heresy. Sounds like you've been reading more Rob Bell than Bible. :-/
Zo, We will all face God's judgement. Only those who accept Christ and the will of God in life will enter Heaven. It's nice to think everyone can repent after death but that's not the case.
I love Zo, but I disagree here. Most atheists I know have far more morality and integrity than the religious people I know. These atheists are not to be confused with delusional individuals such as Hitler and Stalin.
Wow. I don't know what to say Zo. It is appointed for every man once to die. THEN the judgement. You are sent to hell not because of sin that Jesus paid in full 2,000 years ago, but for not believing Jesus is the Son of God. Where is it exegetically that you get that second chance after you die?
@SupposedUnionThug With your viewpoint, if an airline pilot doesn't know how to prepare his favorite Italian dish, why would you fly with him? That was ridiculous.
The bible says that we have once to die and after that we're judged. Those that are saved will go to heaven, and those that aren't go to hell. Nowhere in the bible does it talk about a resting place for souls, where they get to hang out and wait to be judged (at the Great White Throne judgment), and then sent to their eternal destination. Think about Lazarus and the rich man, the rich man didn't get to chill for a minute and then be sentenced to hell, he went straight to hell. So, yeah!
Bro Zo, Love your stuff man, but I think you went off the reservation on this one. It would be nice if you were right, but is what you just taught in the Bible? Lay out the scripture and put my mind at ease. Where did you get the idea that one can accept Christ after death? Seriously. Lay down the verse. Please let me now.
Zo, Zo you are so wrong about this. You may want to remember what Jesus said before you start to lead people off the straight and narrow. James 3:1 "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." Stick to politics. You do good work there. As a teacher of the Law... not so much.
Zo isn't saying you can just cry "I repent" and go straight to heaven. Osama would have to fully understand the weight of the sins he's committed and feel that awful weight and truly accept everything Jesus is about--aka it would be difficult but possible. Don't forget Satan knows exactly who Jesus is and still rejects him, anyone can follow that same path. I'm inclined to think Osama would be too proud to accept Jesus or that women will be equals whether he likes it or not--and no harem ;)
Thank you for speaking the truth! Though I do question whether if there is still the freedom to choose after the first death... Regardles, I've got my Lawyer already and a "get-out-of-hell-free" card already ;-). Keep spreading the Good News, brother!
I can't agree with that those who knowingly turn away from God can still accept him after dying. If you know the message of God, but reject it and even mock it, I cannot see them getting another chance. But those who don't know God, will have their chance to accept Him. And lastly, if Osama possibly isn't in hell right now, then where's Hitler? Best to you, Zo!!
Don't agree Zo. If you're born once, you die twice. But if you're born twice, you only die once. If Osama somehow came to the knowledge that he was a sinner and deserved to go to hell and accepted Jesus' Death Burial and Resurrection as a complete payment for his sin, then his debt(suffering in eternal fire) was paid. Choice is made before death.
@vermiman "suffering in eternal fire" not "eternally suffering in the fire". I just don't get where people get an eternal hellfire from. Repeatedly the scriptures says those not saved will die the 2nd death, perish. We are never told we have eternal souls anywhere. Only that we can GAIN eternal life through the Messiah. "Hell" is also cast into the lake of fire" The FIRE is eternal, we are not. The DEATH sinners face is eternal the 2nd time around.
nope -- I read the Bible -- and it says certain things to do and not to do --- and there is also the statement -- remember this one ?? "in my Father's house are many mansions " ---- but what's in your heart is what's the most important --- depends what bin Laden said to God before he died -- or to what god he said it too --
Many of the greatest saints and heroes of the Bible faced overwhelming depression and sometimes wrote that they wished they had never even been born. King David, (Psalm 13:2-4), the prophet Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 20:14-18), and Job, (Job 7:15-16) among others, all reached low points where they despaired of their very lives. .. suicide is very much a sin... thou shalt not kill
What a minute, are you saying that a person when they're dead and in front of God when they're being judged can repent and accept Christ right then? I may be misinterpreting what you're saying between the court metaphor, but if not, could you give me some Scriptural reference for that?
zo, someone in the seals has revealed that their bullets were coated in pig fat for obama. personally, lead that stops his heart is enough.
um zo, the bible says EVERYONE goes to hell. i know the bible too well, bro, you're first in line for heaven, and i'm first in line for hell, my life can't be worse, bring it on!
Zo, I am curious about your take on suicide, and what you have found to support it. I really enjoy watching your videos on youtube- just wish there were more of them. oh by the way how's the band search going? and do you have more about the movie you want to make about the nephilium?
@dragonking700 You missed the point of my scripture, dragon. I wasn't pointing out that Jesus was denying hypocrits, I was pointing out that he was denying people access after their death. They were trying to get Jesus to "advocate" for them like Zo said, but he said "away from me, I never knew you". This proves that once you die, it is too late.
@dragonking700 the point was, dragon, that he was rejecting the unrighteous. They did not get the choice after they had died. I was not singling out people, merely pointing out the fact that once you die its too late
I object your honor. I refuse to accept the idea that life is a cosmic pop quiz. The score you make on the test decides where you spend forever. Free will is Gods greatest gift. Reward and punishment tilt the scales against real free will. The victims of 911 where waiting for Bin Laden on the other side. I am sure they had a come to Jesus talk with him. The evil you do in life haunts you in death. Atleast I would like to think so.
Uuhhh zo... I have to disagree with you here. If you do not accept Christ BEFORE you die, you can't do it after. Jesus even said he will say to them, "Depart from me, you who practiced lawlessness, I never knew you." that is said to the people who "seek representation" after they die in their sins. The parable of the rich man in Luke 16 seems to kill the hope of a second chance too
Hey Zo, I always show these videos to my friends, both Christian and Atheist alike, and I just want you to know that I appreciate what you do man. That being said, once I get the cash train rolling this summer expect a subscription to PJtv man ;)
oh, wow. what a wrong [and dangerous] view of salvation. you're a smart guy, Zo, but you need to get in that Bible before you make these assumptions. the Bible clearly states that you must confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, risen from the dead, the son of God, before you can be saved. Jesus does stand as our defense before God, but our names must be in the Lamb's Book of Life and the only way it gets there is to accept Him before we die.
While I do not doubt you, you said the "godless" have murdered more, but I ask about the crusaders or other religious fanatics. Haven’t people killed more in the name of god than anyone else? Please correct me if I am wrong.
I love your videos and enjoy watching them. Thanks
@rgrizer Hitler, 12 million, Stalin, 20 million, Mao, 40 million. That's hard to beat. I suppose if you include the Islamic jihad since the time of Mohammed, you could say as many have been killed in the name of religion. There was a time when North Africa and the Middle East as far east as Iraq had a Christian majority (primarily Catholic and Orthodox at that time). They mostly weren't converted by a Peter/Paul type of evangelization.
@rgrizer People always look at the crusades as a "cruelty of Christendom" but if you look at Europe and other countries whom have been invaded and taken over by islam (who the Crusaders fought against to reclaim Christian land) you would see that it wasn't what we learned back in school.
Zo, I have a legitimate question for you. Where in the Bible do you get that we can accept Christ after death? I've never heard or read that before, and I don't personally believe that myself, but if it's in there I'd like to know.
Also, the way I understood blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, it was rejecting Him on earth, which is to say not accepting Christ. So the only hell-bound act is the act of not choosing Jesus (heaven.) I'm not saying I'm right, but asking for your source on this one.
Zo once year dead it is too late to repent. Repent NOW!!!! Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is final impenitence. To believe that your sins are so great that God cannot forgive them.
Zo Christians don't get a free pass into Heaven. If you die with a serous sin on your soul you will end up in hell. Actions speak loader then words. If you declare Jesus to be Lord with your lips & yet reject him with your actions your actions will speak loader so repent. If you die repentant then you will avoid
Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven." -Jesus (matthew 10:32-33)
It is not easy to get into heaven. Jesus said the road to hell is broad and many people will end up there. Narrow is the way that leads to life.
Zo, I love you bro, but you're in error on this one! matthew 7:21-23. Jesus warned us exactly about that mindset
"Not everyone who calls out to me, `Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, `Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' But I will reply, `I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's law
@TheEntertainer29 this too is how i was taught. and why i think this is a fairly dangerous message. the message while skewed is not meant however to be a false representation but the idea in the message steps completely away from what most bibles tell us. so yeah on this one i am in agreement with your reply. you don't put in the work and effort here and judgement day comes you don't get the last minute decision to all of a sudden start being a christian .
Yeah, that's talking about hypocrits. It's not about the way you act, it's about what you really believe in your soul and whether you really repent and have faith in Jesus or not.
Only those who obey God get to heaven. and that's NONE of us. That's why God sent Jesus to suffer our punishment and die for our sins, so that we can be saved.
also, in matthew 7 Jesus is talking to the jews who were already calling him lord even though they had no idea what he would do for them. they thought he would be the political leader who would defeat the romans, and would later reject him and his sacrifice on the cross.
@TheEntertainer29 no this is talking about the sin of presumtion wich is thinking you can live a life of evil and at the end ask for forgivness because you think youll be forgiven and get to heaven you have to be truelly truelly sorry wich is between you and God
@bat353 Right, and God Just told us in Matthew 7:21-23 that not EVERYONE was going to be able to ask Jesus for help upon their death, he will actually turn them away. I'm not trying to make any other point beside the point that you cannot be saved after death. I'm not saying who will or who won't
@TheEntertainer29 those he wont help are those that are not trully repentent and are asking to be forgiven even when they arent sorry and given the chance would sin again all others will
Hey, Zo, maybe you could give some bible refferences for the argument that people can be saved after death even if they weren't beliveers before. I'm quite doubtfull of the claim and would apriciate reffrences.
This video is toxic. You won't convince people to become a Christian by telling them that they don't have to do anything right now - they can live their life as they wish, and they will STILL get another chance after they die. What if you convince Atheists that they don't need to repend today? The Bible says TODAY is the day of salvation. I didn't get that from your video. At all. Take care,
I like your videos very much, keep up the good work. I agree with most things you say but I'd have to disagree with you at least in part.
While I fully agree that there will be a day of judgment for everyone, Our choice is made before we die rather than after.
Jesus accepted the 11th hour conversion of the thief crucified with him but the nameless rich man who did not show mercy to Lazarus before his death was repentant but still said that he was in agony in these flames.
I saw Jesus when My Brother woke me up one night. We shared a room & I was about 13 yrs old. We both saw his silhouette in the window of the old house we lived in. We saw a golden glow around his head & there was a great feeling of peace. I could go on & on but 500 characters isn't enough. All I can ask is. Who am I to be given such an amazing gift ? So it doesn't matter what others believe. I know what I saw & it's a memory I'll cherish my whole life. Praise Jesus !
The Old Testament word for Hell is "Sheol" and is where we get our modern word for Hell from. It describes a pit of darkness. It's where people go when they die if they haven't believed in Jesus Christ. He said so Himself. The "Lake of Fire" (or Gehenna) is where Hell will be thrown once Jesus judges the people in Hell at the great white throne of Judgment.
Your doctrine is scripturally unsupported; if you're wrong about your third chance theory, other might die because of what you taught.
Great video.. I think on the substance you are correct, but I think there may be an issue with the itinerary lol, look up Howard Storm and his NDE. The NDE's are very compelling and quite numerous. Thanks for the vid.
It us not just see a miracle but have perfect understanding and knowledge of the God ( such as an apostle or profit) then reject God. That act makes you a son of perdition and of all the people that came to this earth five or less will ever be sons of perdition
That's quite the claim, the godless have killed far far more. Please provide proof of such, include statistics if you'd like for example like prison populations. Also define terms like "the godless". What verifiable evidence do you have that leads you to the conclusion that there is an afterlife or that there will be a trial at that time?
yeah zo the bible makes clear that people cant repent after the death. just saying. i mean it would kinda be stupid or a waste of time to say oohhh live your life for jesus. then repent after you die. i mean.. no one would follow jesus they would just wait. so yeah zo.
@machosauceproduction i had the sound on. just saying my good friend whos videos i absolutely love and adore. mean that as honestly as i can. and just osama could get representation after Death. when you Say they can either deny or accept him after death. you cant. is too late.
@machosauceproduction Zo, would you be willing to cite some Bible verses in the future? because I don't believe that what you are saying is Biblical, but I have no idea where to begin looking to verify...
@nintendude60 Let me ask you something. Does this make any sense to you? Why would you have to face judgement after death, if there was no chance for you to repent? They would just let you into heaven or send you straight to hell. Why would they need you to explain your life? They already know what you've done, what they want is too find out how you feel about it and if you are truely repentant in the end, for the wrong that you have done in this life.
@nintendude60 you're right. after death, it's too late. you cant accept Christ after death. you WILL be judged, but if you dont 'put Jesus on retainer' then you have no advocate to stand before the throne and say, 'this one is mine. this one is worthy.' it's dangerous to let people think they can live any way they want now, totally in sin, and then think they can just get a free pass into Heaven after they've lived a life of sin and rejection of Christ.
Nobody is given a 'last chance.' many people have their hearts hardened all their lives, even if they don't know it. There are also some people who have the holy spirit in them all their lives, even if they don't know it. on judgement day, they simply become mentally aware of Jesus, and they understand. This is logical. Otherwise, why would God let people live their entire lives without knowing him and then send them to hell just because they didn't have a chance?
@dragonking700 have u read the bible at all? you cant have the holy spirit without knowing it, because it can only be had by accepting it. God doesnt let people live their entire lives without knowing him. in fact its an intsinct proven time and again by science.
There is NO WHERE in the bible that says you have to "choose to accept the holy spirit into your heart." that was made up by 7/11 churches. The bible says you are saved not by your own thinking or choosing. You can't "choose to accept God." he accepts you, and you can CHOOSE to reject him.
And if that's the case...why do so many people live their lives without ever hearing about the christian God? It makes so sense...
@dragonking700 john 3:16 lol talks about accepting Jesus into your heart. and if you accept Jesus the holy spirit dwells within you. and secondly everyone hears the name of Jesus and the Christian God. maybe once or twice in a lifetime.
You will be the exact same person after you are dead that you are now. And true repentance isn't just saying you're sorry because you arent about to be punished. God and Jesus will know the difference between true repentance and someone who didn't get a fair shake at accepting Jesus VS someone who is just saying sorry because they are about to receive their eternal consequences.
Untrue. Think pigmy's in africa, or people during feudal japan, or communist china, etc. Never heard of Jesus, never had a chance to accept Christianity. That would not be a just God to punish someone for an eternity for something they had no idea of. They will get their chance. As will we all, because even with repentance, very few of us will die sinless.
@girzwald3 ill leave that decision up to God. but there is no mention of having repentence after death, in fact there is mention of the exact opposite as pointed out by TheEntertainer29.
Then your god is not s just god.There is no justice in condemning someone to eternal punishment for something they did not know of and had no chance of knowing. Especially when you are all seeing and all knowing.
So, you say, god would make people, know they would not accept jesus because they never heard of him, then punish them for eternity for their ignorance? Thats setting someone up for failure, that is not justice at all.
i do believe that osama is in hell. the Bible talks about after death, there is judgment (Hebrews 9:27). but HOLD ON. there is a book of life at the judgment seat, and a person's name is written there or it is not. period. (Revelation 20:11-15) therefore, it is not possible to repent at judgement, nor can anyone reject God at that point either. (Philippians 2:10) that's why Jesus had to come here and offer the payment and forgiveness for our sins. (John 3:16-18)
This is beautiful. Just as some who claim they are so called Christians attack the Mormons, they don't realize they are hypocrites in the very act as this is not what Jesus Christ Himself said, He said to love everyone EVERYONE unconditionally. In the New Testament it even says that God the Father has given all judgement unto the Son(Jesus Christ) only and none other.
I am a believer that the most valuable and important thing we can do in this life is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
@Evangelicals4Mitt Absolutely, and the irony is that Mormons are actually Restoration Christians. We believe in Christ, we talk of Christ we teach to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ daily not just as as social club but as a lifestyle. I love Zo's channel been watching it for the past few years religiously, no pun intended lol.
Christ told us to come to Him as a child. Would a parent condemn a child to death for a procedural transgression? Surely not! A child may be scolded but gets as many opportunities as he needs to right himself in the eyes of the parent because the parent is loving. Is God less loving than that? If He is, then surely we are all lost to damnation for any failure to keep the laws. Didn't Christ come to renounce that impossible wall between his people and The Father, and the elitists who built it?

I invite you to support your belief with scripture.

Wrong on many accounts. Blasphemy is rejection of the Holy Spirits testimony of Jesus here on earth. If one refuses listen to the Holy spirit testimony (The Father, the Son have given their testimony), this happens while you are alive, once you are dead and have not accepted Jesus as your savior, you have committed this sin. It will not be forgiven. You getting a second chance after your dead is a MORMON false belief.

If the wages of sin is DEATH, how can there be an eternal hellfire? I recall there being another few hundred verses making such comments about death, one of which being a 2nd death to those who are not saved. That just doesn't make much sense does it? Death is being dead, dying twice would mean "burning in hell forever?" Doesn't the bible say all men will die, but those who believe in the Son will be GIVEN eternal LIFE? Wouldnt being dead forever, be a 2nd death & without eternal life? hmmmm

Fear not he who can kill the body, but who can kill the body and soul.

Nothing ever says we have eternal souls, only that we will be GIVEN eternal souls if we follow Him. Hey, doesn't the bible say that Hell itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be torched? This just gets more and more curious huh?

For that matter, the bible never says any of us are going to "heaven". There will be a new Earth, New Jerusalem actually. How can we die and "go to heaven" when the bible says that we will all be judged on the last day. Even the sister of Lazarus said, "I know that he will live again on the last day". So obviously Lazarus isn't in heaven, nor was he ever promised to be.

No where in the bible does it say that no one goes to hell imediately after you die. There is a real hell and unless you accept Jesus as your personal savior while on earth, you will be in hell.

We have the choice of whether or not to accept Jesus' grace and mercy but if we have not put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to save us from God's just wrath before we die it is too late. Osama Bin Laden did not repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before he died. So he indeed will burn in hell.

@BreathlessProduction It seems to me that what you are saying is the same point that Zo is trying to make.

Just in case you want to know, Matt 3:11-12 was fulfilled in Acts chapt 2 (see Acts 1 5-8, then continue reading all the way to the end of Acts 2). That event was the pouring out of the Spirit upon ALL flesh (Acts 2:17) and was not the moment of salvation (otherwise everyone would be saved). It was signified the availability of the Spirit for ALL MAN KIND. They still had to be baptized in water for forgiveness (Acts 2:38 ; ACTS 8:35-38). Yes, "the Lord alone", and as he said!
BreathlessProduction 2 weeks ago
@BreathlessProduction I appreciate the reference. I observe that most Biblical messages have both a literal and metaphorical meaning. The Bible shows baptism as a ritual sacrament and a metaphor for demonstrative repentance. All that is required for this sacrament is a witness and a free will. It is precisely why Baptists do not acknowledge infant baptism. 'Zo points out that God will do as he pleases. 1 Cor 13 shows us love always prevails. God knows the intent of man. The names are written.

@BullthistleBoy
There is a difference between metaphorical phrases, such as those found throughout the book of Revelation, and a practice that they physically did and were COMMANDED to do (Acts 10:48 - not simply because of "ritual"). The purposes of baptism are not presented in the way that you say... However it is defined to "wash away sin" (Acts 22:16), how we get "into the body of Christ" (1 Cor 12:13), how we are "clothed with Christ" (Gal 3:27). Let the bible define what it accomplishes

Reward and punishment tilt the scales against real free will. The victims of 911 where waiting for Bin Laden on the other side. I am sure they had a come to Jesus talk with him. The evil you do in life haunts you in death. Atleast I would like to think so.

Uuhhh zo... I have to disagree with you here. If you do not accept Christ BEFORE you die, you can't do it after. Jesus even said he will say to them, "Depart from me, you who practiced lawlessness, I never knew you." that is said to the people who "seek representation" after they die in their sins. The parable of the rich man in Luke 16 seems to kill the hope of a second chance too

oh, wow. what a wrong [and dangerous] view of salvation. you're a smart guy, Zo, but you need to get in that Bible before you make these assumptions. the Bible clearly states that you must confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, risen from the dead, the son of God, before you can be saved. Jesus does stand as our defense before God, but our names must be in the Lamb's Book of Life and the only way it gets there is to accept Him before we die.

While I do not doubt you, you said the "godless" have murdered more, but I ask about the crusaders or other religious fanatics. Haven’t people killed more in the name of god than anyone else? Please correct me if I am wrong.

@rgrizer Hitler, 12 million, Stalin, 20 million, Mao, 40 million. That's hard to beat. I suppose if you include the Islamic jihad since the time of Mohammed, you could say as many have been killed in the name of religion. There was a time when North Africa and the Middle East as far east as Iraq had a Christian majority (primarily Catholic and Orthodox at that time). They mostly weren't converted by a Peter/Paul type of evangelization.

@rgrizer People always look at the crusades as a "cruelty of Christendom" but if you look at Europe and other countries whom have been invaded and taken over by islam (who the Crusaders fought against to reclaim Christian land) you would see that it wasn't what we learned back in school.

Zo, I have a legitimate question for you. Where in the Bible do you get that we can accept Christ after death? I've never heard or read that before, and I don't personally believe that myself, but if it's in there I'd like to know.
Also, the way I understood blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, it was rejecting Him on earth, which is to say not accepting Christ. So the only hell-bound act is the act of not choosing Jesus (heaven.) I'm not saying I'm right, but asking for your source on this one.

Zo once year dead it is too late to repent. Repent NOW!!!! Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is final impenitence. To believe that your sins are so great that God cannot forgive them.
Zo Christians don't get a free pass into Heaven. If you die with a serous sin on your soul you will end up in hell. Actions speak loader then words. If you declare Jesus to be Lord with your lips & yet reject him with your actions your actions will speak loader so repent. If you die repentant then you will avoid

Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' But I will reply, `I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's law

@TheEntertainer29 this too is how i was taught. and why i think this is a fairly dangerous message. the message while skewed is not meant however to be a false representation but the idea in the message steps completely away from what most bibles tell us. so yeah on this one i am in agreement with your reply. you don't put in the work and effort here and judgement day comes you don't get the last minute decision to all of a sudden start being a christian .

Yeah, that's talking about hypocrits. It's not about the way you act, it's about what you really believe in your soul and whether you really repent and have faith in Jesus or not.
Only those who obey God get to heaven. and that's NONE of us. That's why God sent Jesus to suffer our punishment and die for our sins, so that we can be saved.

This video is toxic. You won't convince people to become a Christian by telling them that they don't have to do anything right now - they can live their life as they wish, and they will STILL get another chance after they die. What if you convince Atheists that they don't need to repend today? The Bible says TODAY is the day of salvation. I didn't get that from your video. At all. Take care,
Matt

Hi Zo,
I like your videos very much, keep up the good work. I agree with most things you say but I'd have to disagree with you at least in part.
While I fully agree that there will be a day of judgment for everyone, Our choice is made before we die rather than after.
Jesus accepted the 11th hour conversion of the thief crucified with him but the nameless rich man who did not show mercy to Lazarus before his death was repentant but still said that he was in agony in these flames.

I saw Jesus when My Brother woke me up one night. We shared a room & I was about 13 yrs old. We both saw his silhouette in the window of the old house we lived in. We saw a golden glow around his head & there was a great feeling of peace. I could go on & on but 500 characters isn't enough. All I can ask is. Who am I to be given such an amazing gift ? So it doesn't matter what others believe. I know what I saw & it's a memory I'll cherish my whole life. Praise Jesus !

The Old Testament word for Hell is "Sheol" and is where we get our modern word for Hell from. It describes a pit of darkness. It's where people go when they die if they haven't believed in Jesus Christ. He said so Himself. The "Lake of Fire" (or Gehenna) is where Hell will be thrown once Jesus judges the people in Hell at the great white throne of Judgment.
Your doctrine is scripturally unsupported; if you're wrong about your third chance theory, other might die because of what you taught.

That's quite the claim, the godless have killed far far more. Please provide proof of such, include statistics if you'd like for example like prison populations. Also define terms like "the godless". What verifiable evidence do you have that leads you to the conclusion that there is an afterlife or that there will be a trial at that time?

@nintendude60 Let me ask you something. Does this make any sense to you? Why would you have to face judgement after death, if there was no chance for you to repent? They would just let you into heaven or send you straight to hell. Why would they need you to explain your life? They already know what you've done, what they want is too find out how you feel about it and if you are truely repentant in the end, for the wrong that you have done in this life.
CaughtNTheCrosshair 8 months ago
@nintendude60 you're right. after death, it's too late. you cant accept Christ after death. you WILL be judged, but if you dont 'put Jesus on retainer' then you have no advocate to stand before the throne and say, 'this one is mine. this one is worthy.' it's dangerous to let people think they can live any way they want now, totally in sin, and then think they can just get a free pass into Heaven after they've lived a life of sin and rejection of Christ.

Nobody is given a 'last chance.' many people have their hearts hardened all their lives, even if they don't know it. There are also some people who have the holy spirit in them all their lives, even if they don't know it. on judgement day, they simply become mentally aware of Jesus, and they understand. This is logical. Otherwise, why would God let people live their entire lives without knowing him and then send them to hell just because they didn't have a chance?
dragonking700 8 months ago
@dragonking700 have u read the bible at all? you cant have the holy spirit without knowing it, because it can only be had by accepting it. God doesnt let people live their entire lives without knowing him. in fact its an intsinct proven time and again by science.
nintendude60 8 months ago
@nintendude60
There is NO WHERE in the bible that says you have to "choose to accept the holy spirit into your heart." that was made up by 7/11 churches. The bible says you are saved not by your own thinking or choosing. You can't "choose to accept God." he accepts you, and you can CHOOSE to reject him.
And if that's the case...why do so many people live their lives without ever hearing about the christian God? It makes so sense...
dragonking700 8 months ago

You will be the exact same person after you are dead that you are now. And true repentance isn't just saying you're sorry because you arent about to be punished. God and Jesus will know the difference between true repentance and someone who didn't get a fair shake at accepting Jesus VS someone who is just saying sorry because they are about to receive their eternal consequences.

Untrue. Think pigmy's in africa, or people during feudal japan, or communist china, etc. Never heard of Jesus, never had a chance to accept Christianity.

As will we all, because even with repentance, very few of us will die sinless.

Then your god is not s just god.There is no justice in condemning someone to eternal punishment for something they did not know of and had no chance of knowing. Especially when you are all seeing and all knowing.
So, you say, god would make people, know they would not accept jesus because they never heard of him, then punish them for eternity for their ignorance? Thats setting someone up for failure, that is not justice at all.

i do believe that osama is in hell. the Bible talks about after death, there is judgment (Hebrews 9:27). but HOLD ON. there is a book of life at the judgment seat, and a person's name is written there or it is not. period. (Revelation 20:11-15) therefore, it is not possible to repent at judgement, nor can anyone reject God at that point either. (Philippians 2:10) that's why Jesus had to come here and offer the payment and forgiveness for our sins. (John 3:16-18)

This is beautiful. Just as some who claim they are so called Christians attack the Mormons, they don't realize they are hypocrites in the very act as this is not what Jesus Christ Himself said, He said to love everyone EVERYONE unconditionally. In the New Testament it even says that God the Father has given all judgement unto the Son(Jesus Christ) only and none other.
I am a believer that the most valuable and important thing we can do in this life is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
