This video is a waiste of time! It is 10 minutes of someone trying to intepret what he sees with a carnal mind. I cant understand why unbeleivers put so much time in something that they dont believe in.
Actually, lots of people have found Jesus in jail. Because for some reason, people tend to find Jesus when they are in hard times. As I think, you will too.
Everyone is born into sin because we are the descendants of adam and eve! If we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior (including Charles Mason and he was serious about) we will go to heaven. But if you keep going back and forth which is called being double-minded or (lukewarm) you from the beginning was never saved.
Why do you do this? Are you converting people to atheism or is this just a hobby? I say this with no malice. I just don't understand. I love you though, because I was becoming just like you. Sin is a nature not an action. The actions are branches on a very deep rooted tree. All the brutalization of Christ is what it took to lay the ax to the root of the tree: SELF. Evolution can't explain why a species evolved to systematically destroy itself over time. But the bible answers that question. P4U.
system of gnosticism which is based on lies theres a lot of those walking around. I do agree that a lot of people who are suppose to be leaders are just false teachers. But then again we will know who is real and who is fake if you how to deal with spirits.
Not everyone is God's child and just because you believe it doesn't mean anything. Even the devil believed.No one knows who is going to hell or heaven. So no you can't preach anyone anywhere. I tell you what whatever the angel recorder tells Jesus on judgement day, you better hope its good. Then also just because they call themselves a Christian, it doesn't mean they are a true Christian. They can be a Gentile Christian which was the first Christian. On the other hand they can have a belief
One more thing, my uncle (who is also my pastor) addressed the doubts that many people have about Gods existence and one of the questions he asked was "Would you rather believe in and serve God and die and find out He is not real or would you rather live your life as if God does not exist and die and find out that He is does?" #F4T
Well if you analyze that question you would find out that there is infinity possibilities that could happen. I'll name 2
-if god did exist and a certain person is an atheist how would you know if that person would go to hell
-How do you know the god you believe in is the one true god, while there are hundreds of others gods that people "claim" know exists because they feel him or her.
In the end, all your doing is believing in a book that tells you what to do to feel good.
Just from watching this video, I see a spirit of confusion and chaos all over you. To those watching this video PLEASE pay attention to his eyes!!! OMG!! I'm praying for him as we speak!!
Pause. Did you just say it sounds silly that you wouldn't make it into heaven if you don't accept Jesus as your Lord and savior? Wow. All he wants is an invitation and after that he does the rest. He said he has gone to prepare a place for us, That was over 2000 years ago!! Now tell me if you were preparing a place for your family for over 2000 years and when the time came to present what you have prepared you find people who you never knew?
Religious people don't like to take responsibility for their actions. Satan or God made them do it. They give all of their power away to a mythical figure that supposedly died for their sins when they are really missing the big picture and the point. Jesus taught love, he was an example of the human potential. No fear, just love. How do people not get that anyone that says you can know or serve anyone else before me is serving a God with extremely low self esteem?
@maverik713 Maverick, You used the analogy of Charles Manson and yourself being judged. If you ever go to court, who's standard would you be judged by? would it be by your own standard, or would it be by another?
THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right. Psalms 14:1 AMP Bible
There is no good in any of us except that which is given to us through God's Holy Spirit. I believe the porn statistic is very true because I myself am in recovery and I still feel a desire from time to time to go back, but it's God's spirit in me that leads me toward the right path. Without God's spirit in us we are utterly useless. I pray that God will reveal Himself to you and that you will come away with an unwavering belief in who God is. Be blessed.
you'll be back.. you'll be back.. and then you will make another youtube video.. saying you are back.. and trying to prove why you were not right in the first place.. and we will receive you with arms open wide as a son.. who was prodigal and has found life again... Blessings.
if you really deep in your heart, with every emotion you have, ask with genuine desire and passion for God to open His heart to you and to show Him self to you, i would be shocked if you didnt find Him.
but remembert this, God may not show in an instant or in the way you would want Him to, but he will.
Christ purchased you and me, the cost of sin is DEATH. Jesus took death for both of us. Gods judges everyone equally by His standard. Im a good person too, but by my standard... whould i be good by your standard? and you mine? i dont mean to make this personal, just food for thought. if we, as people, believe that there is no God then there really is no true standard for good vs bad but just a chaotic system of "1>1"
if evolution is correct, which came first the stomach or the esophagas? how do millions of cells co-ordinate together as they evolve? and much more, how many mutations which caused the evolution process are needed to make one fish? why are the laws of physics so perfectly set and impossible to break? can a random event cause all this?
Okay what if you are right and Christians are wrong and Christ doesn't exist. When you die nothing happens or whatever you believe. What did Christians have to lose? They lived a life full of hope. But, what if you are wrong?
@tintedvoices101 What if you were wrong...what if you spent your life trying to figure it out on your own thinking that there was no God and died lifting your eyes in hell. I would rather take the risk of living a life to please God and die for not...than living a life of sin...and going to hell!
Jesus is not angry. He pays for our crimes and if we take the the Lord as our savior he will wipe all of our sins clean. We ALL make mistakes and do bad things but if we ask for forgiveness and believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross we can and will be free in heaven. Even if you don't believe in him he still loves you more than you can imagine. And I can't speak for other people but if I said wow it wouldn't be in a "Everyone else is wrong and I am right" it would be wow he loves me.
Consider the apostle Paul—consumed with rage against Christ and “breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples” (Acts 9:1), full of blasphemy and ungodliness, yet God forgave him and made Paul His chosen vessel to preach the Gospel to the whole world. Notice that God never required Paul to become a born-again anything other than a born-again believer in Jesus Christ.
I really want you to take a look at the Bible yourself, and really let God speak to you about Salvation and what he's done on the Cross for your sins. I don't want you to go to hell...by the way, I would phrase your shirt as "KNOW God, KNOW Peace."
What's the point of this. i pray that you find your God-given purpose in life. Its easy to mock things that you clearly don't believe in or understand. I pray for you sir
The P4CM group are just people, pastors are just people, churches are just filled with more people. If you follow them they will disappoint and confuse you. I'm watching the videos to my right and I'm reading: Why I'm not married, But can I still be gay?, 16 yr old cutter, blah, blah, blah. The focus should be that Jesus Christ is the Truth and the ONLY way, without Him there's NO life. Period. BUT ONLY Christ can convince you of this, God seeks us, we do not seek Him. Period.
i agree the message should be about christ but i think the point of the "but can i still be gay?" and "16 yr old cutter" are more geared toward thoses who are already rooted in christ, and to more or less light up a dark area we may over look.
@maverik713 First Off,I Love you, No matter the amount of garbage you have talked, the Fathers love is unconditional..secondly if ANYONE accepts Jesus, They will go to Heaven .,... A persons eternal life does not depend upon whether they are 'not a bad person of not'.
@maverik713 if you can say there is no evidence of God we can also say that there is no evidence that there isn't a God , there is plenty evidence of God's true existence you actually live in it! and you are also surrounded by it , but the evidence you are looking for is not in His creation the evidence you want is in scientific tools and your five senses, basically saying if you can't measure , see , smell , hear, taste ,feel it then it's not there or real. Regardless of what you believe God l
@maverik713 Yes if Charles Manson accepts Jesus as His Lord then he will be in Heaven. God only cares your love for Him. God only cares that you acknowledge Him as your creator. You are not a good person. You have exposed nothing. You are the one afraid and you are rebelling against your creator.
No worries, you'll be back, we always stray but God in the end, is the only way, you'll see, you'll see.... :) Good luck doing things on your own, I know from experience its very hard and very depressing and frustrating. :/ You'll be back. :)
@TheBluePortal1310 The only way anybody would be able to plainly make a statement as this one, is if they have never for themselves experienced God's presence in his or her life.
-God have your way, let your life enter into this death, and get your glory. In Jesus Name. Amen.-
see believers? we need to stand together to help people like this man like he NEEDS God its written all over this video. he doesnt know God because he hasnt encountered him and no believer has planted a seed in him and watered it and watched it grow. he needs teh touch and the love of God, and im gonna pray that he gets it.
I SEEN A COMMENT THAT ASKED "ARE WE NOT ALL GODS CHILDREN?' NO, WE'RE NOT ALL GODS CHILDREN. 1 John 3:10: “This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.”
RIGHT WE DO MAKE MISTAKES, BUT WE LEARN FROM THEM AND KEEP IT MOVING. MOST OF THE TIME THE SPIRIT WARNS US BEFORE WE DO SO. THAT'S WHY WE MUST BE SENSITIVE TO THE SPIRIT, AND NOT SENSITIVE TO THE FLESH DESIRES. AND MOST OF ALL "SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? NO! GOD FORBIDS FOR HOW CAN ONE WHO DIE TO SIN CONTINUE TO LIVE IN IT?
TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST. THE BIBLE SAYS CHRIST IS COMING BACK FOR A CHURCH NOT BUILDING WITHOUT SPOT NOR WRINKLE. (MEANING PERFECT) WE CAN'T TEACH IMPERFECTION IF CHRIST IS PERFECT AND HE LIVE IN US. ARE YOU BEING OBEDIENT TO HIS VOICE? HAVE YOU FULLY SUBMITTED TO HIM?
Now FAITH is knowing the thought will surely come to pass by you speaking it or stepping out on faith. It is the evidence when you see what you activated in faith. Even though you didn't see it in the beginning.
WITHOUT FAITH YOU CAN'T PLZ GOD. THAT'S WHY HE WANT REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU. YOU CAN'T DOUBT INSPECTING TO HEAR OR FILL HIM. YOU MUST BELIEVE IN ORDER TO KNOW HIM. ONLY BELIEVING IN GOD WANT GET YOU TO THAT PLACE OF KNOWING THAT GOD IS GOD ALONE. BELIEVING IS THE ACTIVATION OF YOUR FAITH.
I pray that the Lord reveals himself to you like he did to Paul on the way to Damascus. There is nothing like living fotr God. I can not understand why some people will not accept Him. Sad case...I am praying for you and any other non believer.
@msd2012 Many people have prayed that God reveals himself to me, yet he never does. I don't accept him because I don't have any evidence that he exists.
@maverik713 Like I said, I am praying for you. I didn't ask about anything else and why you don't accept him. I do not wish to conversate any further, nor did I ask for a response. Have a great day!
@msd2012 I don't care what you asked for. Don't like it? Don't comment. By the way, it's converse, not conversate. Way to avoid the tough questions, it really highlights how Christians have great answers to absolutely nothing. Jerk.
You need proof that God exists? I'm proof. I used to have a hormone deficiency that caused the right side of my body to grow 10% smaller than the other side of my body. It was so severe that my chest was pushing up against my heart and would've caused it to pop by last year. Now, me being a non-believer at the time, my parents took me over to a family friend's house and they all prayed for me. I closed my eyes, felt a warmth on my body, and I open my eyes and I'm not lopsided.
2. Assuming your story is true, it isn't evidence that God did anything.
3. Let's say for the sake of argument it was God who healed you. Don't you think it's immoral for him to be able to heal you but only does so after you basically beg him to do it?
@maverik713 what more evidence do you need than your existence? Why should God 'reveal' Himself to you, a person who blatantly realizes that it is possible He exists, but chooses to not believe it because he cant see it?
@05J05H05 I don't choose what to believe exists; there is either evidence that convinces me or there isn't. Me existing isn't evidence of anything except that I exist.
I came from my mother. DNA evidence could easily verify that. Is it 100%? No, it's only 99.9%. Then again, nothing is 100%. I could be a brain in a vat in the Matrix for all I know. This could all be a dream.
Also, it's interesting that you if I can't provide 100% evidence that I was born by my parents you won't believe that it's true but you will believe in a God that not only is there no evidence for, there is a ton of evidence against.
@maverik713 oh no i 100% believe that you came from your mother. what i want you to give me, is some sort of reason you dont believe in God, and what you believe in. where did our existence begin if not God. and faith requires no evidence. its not possible to prove God, however evidence is all around. where did our knowledge of right and wrong come from? what are the chances of our planet being in the 'Goldilocks zone' (only 7 other planets we have found thus far in this infinite universe
@05J05H05 The reason I don't believe in God is because there is no evidence of God's existence. It's not a choice I make. Like I said, there is either evidence for something existing or there isn't. To ask "where did our existence begin if not God" presupposes the idea of God. It assumes that the idea of God is a fact that no one disagrees with. We all agree the sun exists. Anyone who denied that would be labeled mentally ill. We evolved that. Humans aren't the only animals that have morals.
@maverik713 have been in that zone, and none have evidence of life)? where did we get outr idea of perfection? why do ALL the stories of creation have such a similar feel (in case you didnt know, from what ive read, Judaism is the oldest known religion, and Christianity is a branch off of it)? etc. etc. cmon, the evidence is there. of course it isnt conclusve or 100%, but its there. yet still you choose to not believe. and as far as youve shown me, you believe in nothing
They have a similar feel because stories passed down tend to change, factions form, and other religions may borrow stories from other religions. If this powerful character can create this whole universe and all the complicated things it contains but doesn't communicate clearly and doesn't prevent the horrible things that happen on this planet that means he is evil. So even if I had evidence that your God existed I would acknowledge that, but I still wouldn't worship.
@maverik713 God's evidence is everything you see. lets go back to the wonderful old cliche 'something cant come from nothing.' where did all this something we see in abundance come from, in your opinion. the fact that something can come from nothing is a perfectly logical reason, in my mind, to presuppose (that is not the reason i do so however. there are many. it isnt nearly that simple). yes we evolved it, but where did it begin? if we came from monkeys, as many will say, when did the
@maverik713 monkey say "man, we shouldnt steal that food from those other monkeys. its not right. we shouldnt fight, were above that." it seems logical that something has been instilled in us from the start. a knowledge of right and wrong, perfect and imperfect. sure im all for MICROevolution, but i refuse to believe i came from an amoeba. or a monkey for that matter. but if they borrow these stories, then where did the original come from, and why did it come in the first place. what
@maverik713 need is there for a creator unless we know there is one. how absurd the first person to just make up God must have been. unless of course everyone knew there was a God at some point or another. you really think the Bible is just a bunch of stories some guys put together over the years?? i need it to be explained to me, just why it is we deserve warning and prevention from the evils of this world. first, trials make us stronger. second, we are not perfect. we brought evil upon
@maverik713 ourselves. that all started in the garden. it was perfect, then the fruit was consumed, and things got ugly, and still are. we lost out perfection and any right we have to perfection (in the flesh) when we disobeyed Perfection. Satan is evil, not God. His gift of free-will to us, seems like a terrible reason to not worship Him.
@msd2012 "I pray that the Lord reveals himself to you like he did to Paul on the way to Damascus. There is nothing like living fotr God. I can not understand why some people will not accept Him. Sad case...I am praying for you and any other non believer."
My heart breaks for you. God loves you so much and longs for a relationship with you. I'm praying that you have a genuine encounter with Him and feel the unconditional and overwhelming love He has for you. I hope you have an amazing day. :)
not trying to argue or anything, but how do you feel about biblical prophecy? The Bible says things like nation will rise agianst nation, nations will trample upon Israel, and that there will be famines and earthquakes. All of these things tell that the end of the world is coming, things that have already begun or happened..But anyway what do you believe as far as biblical prophecy? Partially or none at all..?
Being a Christian means that you have admited that you're not perfect, you make mistakes, and are not worthy of God but have accepted His free gift of eternal life. The definition of a Christian is not a perfect person. We do things wrong too. Everyday. Just like everyone else. We just have Someone who takes away all the wrong in our lives and forgives us. He washes away all the sin. He makes us free. That doesn't mean we strive to sin, it means that He forgives us for it when we do. Praying4U!
lol, u made me laugh . . . and the shirt is funny too . . . man, one thing i can say to u, if God wants you to know him, YOU WILL KNOW him =) no matter what . . . so its a matter of time . . . cheers and God bless
The bible says not to debate with people about his word. Because it will only push people further away. Whats the point of wasting your time on this channel anyway?
BTW guy you gave no real points in your "debate", all you did was talk about the titles of the videos or critique their manner of speaking. All your jabs were invalid and pointless.... God bless you brother and may you one day truly find your maker, Lord, and savior, Jesus Christ.
I gt a question 4 u wen u see Jesus r u gna regret in nt believing in him n his word bk u do understand that the unbeilever goes 2 hell bt im jus askin kuz i get sad bk i knw that will happen
Hey, it's me again. I haven't been able to come back for a while but I still have been praying for you... Whether you can think for me or not. Anyway sir, I was wondering have you always been atheist?
@TamayaluvsGod No I haven't. I never fully accepted the idea of a god, and as I got older and started questioning it more, I came to the conclusion that I don't believe in god.
@maverik713 not sure if youve ever heard of c.s lewis, but he was once an athiest who tried to disprove GOD, which in return led him to CHRIST. he once said that an athiest is a lukewarm athiest at best. because if you try to disprove CHRIST, then youd know HES real. for HIS people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge. and you started questioning GOD, then why stop knowing the proof that is all around you? may the LORD touch your heart again and draw you near to HIM.
@maverik713 there has been much proof of the events in the bible. id take time to research the facts before trying to disprove and call out others. you have a great sense of wisdom but for what? to throw it away on senseless knowledge and calling out little nonsense mistakes or as you say grammatical assault?
@kookoo78 he didn't have sex with them, they had intercourse with him when he was asleep and unaware. Why do people talk without reading for themselves.
@lorenbiizcut Facepalm...are you serious!!! Lot fucked his daughters. The bible said that his daughters got him drunk two consecutive nights in a row and got pregnant by him. Now, doesn't that seem suspect to you, just a little bit. It's another way to take the blame away from the adult or responsible one i.e the father and blame the victim. The bible is always condemning women, but letting men slide with shit just like in this case. As far as reading that book I have and listened to the cd
@kookoo78 "And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father(Lot) is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose." (Gen 19:31-33) So actually it was the other way around.
@XxDWillxX Oh, now that makes it right. Lot was "so" incapable of saying no two nights in a row. You believe in that book so much that you can't see how it's such a crock. If the writers of this story didn't see anything wrong with Lot offering his daughters to a gang of rapists, why would he care if the father screwed his daughters knowing or not?
@kookoo78 Lot was borderline in his faith or "carnal" christian anyway. He did sum things that werent pleasing 2 God (compared 2 Abram especially).Those "rapists" were men, young and old, who wanted 2 hv sex w/the male angels that were in Lot's home. The angels were the protection for him n all his family. Lot didn't want those men 2 bother the angels so he offered his daughters 2 those men. He was actually trying to protect His family.
@kookoo78 (cont..) oh and Lot's daughters were trying to preserve their father's seed. His wife had just died. Besides there was no standard/ law for the land like we have today. Ppl married/ had sex w/ ppl in the family all the timeback then. So it wasn't seen as a bad thing like it is now.
@XxDWillxX Yea, just like the bible wasn't seen as a bad thing like it is now...lol, I say that because the bible states that the words of it doesn't change and everything suppose to still stand so what went down back then should go down today in every way...wouldn't you agree? You probably wouldn't because there are some disgusting things in that text. Like Exodus 4:24-26(why is god so concern with dicks I will never know),Exodus 11:5 (killing people children because he's having a hissy fit)
@kookoo78 the words of God dont change, He never changes, His commandments and punishment for sin and promises never change. He says there's nothing new under the sun: like ppl still curse, fornicate,have homosexul sex, etc but things like the laws of the land that we have to abide by change. Things that were ok then (because there was no law or a general law) are not acceptable now (because different lands/ countries abide by different rules n theyre more specific nowadays). ppl change not God
@kookoo78 (cont..) "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." And It doesn't matter what i say to you to try and prove that God is real. i cn go on n on 4 days, it's like me telling a blind man that a red sheet of paper that i hold in front of his face is actually the color red. He doesnt see it or understand. Only the Holy Spirit can open the eyes of a person so that he/she understands or "sees." ...
@kookoo78 (cont..) That sounds like crazy talk to an unbelievr who doesnt understand.Unbelievers r carnal minded, spirtually dead, needing physical evidence. God is a spirit, not made of flesh like u n me. So the things n the Bible tht God does u dnt understand. Flesh doesnt understand spirit talk. 2 diff languages..anyway, i wont bother u anymore. it's pointless. But i do love you regardless of everything said. I pray God opens your eyes to see truth. Have a good night:)
@XxDWillxX Killing people who just want to help just to show how much of a smug bastard he could be: 2 Samuel 6:3-7, Isaiah 13:15-18, Making you kill your own kid because god is a dick Judges 11:29-40. Just rehashing this crappy book pisses me off
@Boredonfridaynight Funny, because you never hear anyone talking about any of the other kinds of sexual immorality. Speaking of sexual immorality, what about when God saved Lot after he offered his virgin daughters up as sexual objects to protect two strangers. Not very sexually moral if you ask me.
@maverik713 He was protecting 2 Angels, God's messengers. Those angels were there for Lot and His family's protection. Although Lot was borderline in his faith and making errors here and there, God had mercy on Him.
No its not a fallacy, because I clearly said everything that is physical applies to that rule, n like I said God isn't physical.
Also thats y I told you that the only way you can prove to urself that he is real is experiencing him yourself. What do my experiences have to do with someone who is mentally ill?
@cantu18luis That's what makes it a fallacy. Everything falls under that rule, but for no reason other than your asserting it, God doesn't fall under those rules.
Do you think people who hear voices should be considered mentally ill? If you do, what makes the experience you had with God different?
God is beyond our understanding because like I said before...he isn't physical. Everything physical has a beginning, but since God isn't physical this doesn't apply to him. I can tell you all I know and all i feel and think, but will never b able to physically prove he is real. Like i had said the reason I know he is real is because I have experienced him and continue to do so. He is not jus some wooden image I have on my wall. The only way you can know for sure if he is real is 2 search for him
@cantu18luis If something is beyond our understanding, how can you even begin to speak on it? Your second statement is a logical fallacy called special pleading. You just said everything has to have a cause or beginning, but now you can just assert that your God is outside of that rule. If that is the case, couldn't that exception to the rule apply to matter and energy?
@cantu18luis Like I said, your experience doesn't prove anything to anyone except you. An experience that only you had doesn't count because there is no way to verify it. Please tell me how to differentiate between your experience and the one that someone with a mental illness has.
Also, if you go out searching for the "truth" with something in mind, of course you will find it. It's called confirmation bias.
I think (I could be going off on a limb here) that you do believe in a higher being, you just don't know whether its God...so your trying to find the answer, trying to find what to truly believe. Your on a mission to know the truth, search for it enough and you will find it on ur own
@cantu18luis You are going out on a limb there. I don't believe in anything supernatural because there is no evidence for it. I don't just go looking for things without reason. Humans are searching for the cause of our existence, and for the most part, have found it. Nothing in that search has shown any evidence that those beginnings are supernatural in any way.
U know it exist, because you just told me what you think of the one who made them. Whether you choose to believe is up to you. I simply gave you an example, but there is no example that can fully explain God, because our examples are all physical and God is not physical he is spiritual. Everything has a beginning in our world, everything we have today has a creator/inventor. Nuthing has just always been there in the natural world. Our beginning/creator/inventor is God.
@cantu18luis No, I don't know it exists. I just don't feel it's necessary to reiterate that I'm talking in a hypothetical sense every time I talk about it. When I talk about the Bible, I'm talking about what you believe. If everything has a beginning or creator, what began or created your God?
We torture ourselves because we choose not to listen and obey. A criminal knows the law, but decides to go against it and eventually suffers the consequences. Plus we worship Go because of gratitude, because we know what he has done for us. So answer me this...if you could worship someone, live a happy life, be blessed beyond compare (not always speaking physical blessings), enjoy life without fearing death, die then raise again and live forever without any of the burdens of this earth. would u?
@cantu18luis So you think I know that the law exists, but choose to ignore it, even though I know I will be tortured forever by doing so? No, I don't believe the law exists, nor do I believe God exists. I live a happy life, I don't fear death, and I feel that when I die I will no longer have the burdens of this planet.
u jumping in front of ur child would be the ultimate act of love for him. He would know that because you physically showed him. Now yes you love your child so everytime he screws up, you love him so much tho that u jus let it slide, let it go its ok, no wrries. You think your child is ever going to learn anything if he knows dat wenever he messses up there is absolutely no consequences for him?
@cantu18luis The reason it would be the ultimate act of love is because I would be sacrificing my life for my child. If I knew a bullet wouldn't kill me, it wouldn't be a sacrifice. I didn't say there would be no consequences, just not infinite punishments. There isn't anything anyone can do that would warrant being tortured forever. Your God tortures people forever for simply not believing in or worshipping him. That's unjust.
And Jesus being God sacrificed in the sense that Yes he was God, so there was no need to become human, and feel everything a human feels. That was a sacrifice for him to step down from his thrown and humble himself, not only that, but he allowed himself to be humiliated infront of everyone. Just because he wanted to show that his love was genuine. If you had or do have a child, would you step in front of your son and take a bullit for him?
@cantu18luis Yes, I would. But if I did that, it would be sacrifice because I would lose my one and only life. How do you know God didn't just create Jesus without the ability to feel pain? Even if he could feel pain, you think a few hours of pain serves as compensation for the wrongdoings of every human that will ever exist? If his love was genuine, couldn't he just forgive us without all the strings attached?
I do call it just, because he created us so he can set the rules. And the rules and laws were known and we choose to disobey, so for him to ignore his rules after having already set them, would make him unjust in its full essence.
@cantu18luis So you're essentially saying that might makes right. That it's right because God is the most powerful. That would mean that there is no objective morality, and that if God proclaimed that rape was morally okay, then it would be morally okay because God said it.
But how much farther do you actually think this technology is gonna get? There is gonna be a point where there is nothing else that can be invented...look back in time, before there was nothing, but now there is something for pretty muh everything..there is only so much the human mind can comprehend
@cantu18luis He doesn't force us? So if a guy put a gun to your head and said "Don't make me shoot you, give me your wallet.", is he giving you a choice? Sure, in the purest sense he is, but really, how much of a choice is it when your two options are give up your wallet or die?
because not only is he just, but he is mercyful. A judge has punishments for every crime, but yet mercy is shown through lessening the punishment to sumtimes even taking it away. Mercy is giving something the reciever does not deserve. He didn't create Jesus, Jesus was him in human form, thats why he never sinned. And he did create us perfect but also with a mind capable of making its own choices. And the first sin commited on earth was Adam and Eve's choice to disobey. God doesn't force us to
@cantu18luis So if God is Jesus, how was that a sacrifice? Also, how is it justice for everyone that ever came after Adam and Eve to be held accountable for what they did? Jesus wasn't even necessary, God is God right? So couldn't he just have forgiven us without putting conditions on it?
There are somethings in this world that man is simply never going to understand or explain, cuz they were not meant to be understood. No one understand the deepness of the ocean, no one will ever undertand it, because its impossible for us to reach such deapths. But yet we know its there and can even go to assert that it is there. Same with God, No one undertand him fully and no1 ever will, but its one of those things that you just know. Like i said earlier experiences have a lot to do, because
@cantu18luis Not true. As time passes, our technology allows us to go places and do things we couldn't before. Going into outer space, flying, moving at speeds that humans can't in vehicles. We understand the deepness of the ocean, even if we can't go there. You're right, your experience can't be verified or disproved by anyone. Therefore, it doesn't count as evidence, except for by you, if you choose to believe it counts as evidence.
Well I hope I've been of help for something. I'll be praying for you bro. N lemme tell you that if and when you experience what I am talking about, you will be blown out ove ur mind! it can be the most beautiful feeling in the world! Well I got to jet, so take care man, God bless!
If God were to only reward for obeying, but not punish for disobeying, that would make him unjust. As much as our fathers dont want to spank us wen we go against them, they do because they know its necessary. The same goes for God
No, God Created us perfect. (Genesis: the story of Adam and Eve) They decided to disobey Him and thats when sin came about. God is a just God, so if someone disobeys there are consequences, in our case sin. Like my father when I was young, I got punished for disobeying, but even through the punishment and groundings. There was still no doubt in my mind that he loved me. Sometimes the punishments seemed cruel to me, but as I got older I understood. Same with God as we grow spiritually with him,
@cantu18luis If God created humans perfect, why did they sin? Didn't he create Jesus perfect? How come Jesus never sinned, if that is indeed our nature? How is God sending himself down in human form to die and immediately go right back up to heaven considered either a sacrifice or just? Justice would be us paying for our own wrongdoings, not someone else taking the punishment. Plus, how is Jesus dying a relatively short but painful death the same as us burning in hell forever?
they are, they still don't understand how every little thing in the body works. Very few people actually survive through cancer treatment to live and tell. So for a cancer diagnosed person to have cancer completely dissapear from their body from one day to the next, that is a miracle and can only be explained by the one who created us (God) because only he knows every detail in our body. what is impossible for us, is possible to God.
@cantu18luis Saying "God did it" isn't an explanation. That's an assertion. Explanations tell us how and why something happened, not just that it happened.
Something impossible to us is something that according to logic, science, or reason, cannot be explained. A lottery winner, can be explained by the odds calculated before chance. Low odds and impossible are two different things. Mayb my mother was misdiagnosed, but hers is not the only account of it happening. Plus Doctors misdiagnose frequently, if they do 1 time...they will find what went wrong the second time. In cancer cases, human logic and science has not found a cure for it. As smart as
@cantu18luis@cantu18luis No, because things that can't be explained now might be able to be explained later. That doesn't make them impossible until they can be explained, that just makes them unexplained.
the bible as horrible as you think it is, is true. More often archeologist, scientist, and people of that nature discover things in history that correlate directly with the bible. The bible has a lot of stories of MEN. By nature we are all sinners, so our moral standards are all different. Many men even today participate in immoral acts, the only difference is that their acts are not documented to be passed on in history
I can go on and on about stories similar to these that I have experienced first hand and heard of. Also think of the world you live in, this earth, everything has a purpose (the moon, the sun, the distances between planets, the clouds, etc...) everything is so perfectly put together, to such an extent that if certain planets and stars in the solar system were to be slightly moved closer or farther to earth, no human life would be possible.
@cantu18luis I could say the same thing about lottery winners. There is a woman who won the lottery twice. The odds of that happening are so low, that one could say it must have been planned. But no matter how low the odds are of something happening, it can still happen. Same thing goes for us. If it was impossible for us to exist yet we still did, then you might have a case. But then again, if something impossible happens, it's not impossible is it?
(Thats my biggest miracle, there are others)..My mother whom had been diagnosed with cancer, after seriously praying for her and leaving the situation in God's hands, went for a check-up only to find that there was absolutely no evidence of cancer in her body. Something the doctors could find no way to explain.
@cantu18luis Your mother could have been misdiagnosed. And even if she wasn't misdiagnosed, doctors not having an explanation doesn't automatically make God the reason.
Its not unjustified. Nothing else can explain it. If i try to explain the feelings inside, with something else, it just doesn't make sense. I also spoke of my life being a miracle. How does a 3yr old boy with asthma, who can't walk or eat, because of the severe asthma attacks get up after a prayer and start running around the house asking for food? A boy whom the doctors said there was no cure for? That same boy has never had an asthma attack in his last 18 yrs of life since that day.
@cantu18luis Didn't God give you asthma? If it was cured by God, it was inflicted upon you by him also. Science has shown that asthma can be outgrown. Also, don't you think it's horrible that your God would cure your asthma while letting 17,000 children die from hunger every day? Even worse, hundreds of children under four years old die from accidental fires every year in the U.S. alone. Do you know how painful a death that is?
the sun can't be compared to believing in God, because God isn't physical. You can see the sun, but you can't see God. Your absolutely right, other religions have their "experiences". the only way to know who is right is by studying them, putting the pieces together, filling in the blanks. If you really wan't to know if God is real, I'd recommend to read the bible, don't look at people, because we are all human and our nature and tendencies are the same, so we all make mistakes.
@cantu18luis Not being able to see something doesn't stop us from testing it's existence. We can't see air but we can see the effects of it. Same goes with gravity. The only way to tell if something is actually real is to compare it with our shared reality. If that wasn't the case, why do we have mental institutions with people who hear voices in them?
The Bible is a horrible book that condones some of the most immoral acts in all of history. Plus it has many contradictions.
So basically all I'm saying is that in no way shape or form am I trying to be arrogant. I am simply sharing with you what I believe and some reasons why. You have the right to believe what you want, my job isn't to convert you, its simply to share.
with the same story. They find God, and even though their life is tough (financial problems, relationships, sickness, etc...) they feel a joy and they can't explain it. the kind of joy that makes you cry and smile and laugh at the same time. Not crying cuz ur sad or mad. but because ur OVERLY happy for no apparent reason, when things seem to be at the worst, there is still joy inside! Through many troubled situations in my life, I have found that God is real, and nothing can compare to that
About the joy and you being empty. I never said you were empty (that statement is nowhere in my comment). But i still stick to what I said through my experiences and through the experiences of the people I meet. I came to find that without God, although I may be happy and feel like I have everything, there always came a point when I was alone that reality hit me, and I realized that I was constantly searching for something to fill me. Ive met countless people who with different experiences end
@cantu18luis I quote: "At the end of the day, you still feel an emptyness inside." You can split hairs on "being empty" and having a feeling of "emptyness(sic) inside" but to me it's essentially the same. My life has plenty of purpose without a god and yours can too. If you have a feeling you can't explain, how do you know it's God? I don't doubt that you had whatever feeling you say you had, but to presume that it is God is unjustified.
Hey bro, srry this is a pretty late reply to ur comment. But in no way or form am i trying to be arrogant. Everybody chooses what they want to believe and they all have their reasons for it. I am simply sharing with you what I believe. It might seem arrogant to you because I am sure of what I believe, I've experienced his presence, I've seen miracles...infact, my life is a miracle! The experiences I've been through have taken my beliefs to a whole other level. Now not only do I believe, i know
@cantu18luis@cantu18luis Like I said before, do you choose to believe in the Sun? Of course not. Believing in something is being convinced that it is true. In fact, acknowledging that the Sun exists goes beyond belief into the realm of knowledge. You can't believe in something that you know is true. You believe in something in place of knowing.
People of other faiths have claimed to have experiences that proved their god is real. How do we tell who is right?
@ 3:30 - thats exactly right man. An innocent man did take the place of the criminal. And that criminal got to go free. And the Judge was pleased.
That criminal is you and me. And as undeserving as we are of that freedom and as many times as we might go and do that same crime again, Jesus did it anyway because he loves us.
Anyone that thinks for them self understands that God is not an interventionist. Pray all you want, but he's not going to waste his efforts on giving you a bike for Christmas or dispatching revenge on your enemies. Humans are too petty for Him to be bothered and Christians should understand that if they're ever to be taken seriously, the ought to start with humility first and focus on how their faith works for them. I appreciate your video and purpose Mav.
-Continuing from the previous post- I apologize for that. But yeah, the last thing I'm going to say is that God does say that He loves you. He says it by letting you live to see another day, by even letting you exist, and by letting the sun shine for you. And God has an everlasting love for us, no matter what we do. And It breaks my heart to see that you don't believe in the one true God. I'll still be praying for you even though you can't think for me.
This video is a waiste of time! It is 10 minutes of someone trying to intepret what he sees with a carnal mind. I cant understand why unbeleivers put so much time in something that they dont believe in.

Why do you do this? Are you converting people to atheism or is this just a hobby? I say this with no malice. I just don't understand. I love you though, because I was becoming just like you. Sin is a nature not an action. The actions are branches on a very deep rooted tree. All the brutalization of Christ is what it took to lay the ax to the root of the tree: SELF. Evolution can't explain why a species evolved to systematically destroy itself over time. But the bible answers that question. P4U.

Religious people don't like to take responsibility for their actions. Satan or God made them do it. They give all of their power away to a mythical figure that supposedly died for their sins when they are really missing the big picture and the point. Jesus taught love, he was an example of the human potential. No fear, just love. How do people not get that anyone that says you can know or serve anyone else before me is serving a God with extremely low self esteem?

Jesus is not angry. He pays for our crimes and if we take the the Lord as our savior he will wipe all of our sins clean. We ALL make mistakes and do bad things but if we ask for forgiveness and believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross we can and will be free in heaven. Even if you don't believe in him he still loves you more than you can imagine. And I can't speak for other people but if I said wow it wouldn't be in a "Everyone else is wrong and I am right" it would be wow he loves me.

Consider the apostle Paul—consumed with rage against Christ and “breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples” (Acts 9:1), full of blasphemy and ungodliness, yet God forgave him and made Paul His chosen vessel to preach the Gospel to the whole world. Notice that God never required Paul to become a born-again anything other than a born-again believer in Jesus Christ.

@maverik713 oh no i 100% believe that you came from your mother. what i want you to give me, is some sort of reason you dont believe in God, and what you believe in. where did our existence begin if not God. and faith requires no evidence. its not possible to prove God, however evidence is all around. where did our knowledge of right and wrong come from? what are the chances of our planet being in the 'Goldilocks zone' (only 7 other planets we have found thus far in this infinite universe

@05J05H05 The reason I don't believe in God is because there is no evidence of God's existence. It's not a choice I make. Like I said, there is either evidence for something existing or there isn't. To ask "where did our existence begin if not God" presupposes the idea of God. It assumes that the idea of God is a fact that no one disagrees with. We all agree the sun exists. Anyone who denied that would be labeled mentally ill. We evolved that. Humans aren't the only animals that have morals.

They have a similar feel because stories passed down tend to change, factions form, and other religions may borrow stories from other religions. If this powerful character can create this whole universe and all the complicated things it contains but doesn't communicate clearly and doesn't prevent the horrible things that happen on this planet that means he is evil. So even if I had evidence that your God existed I would acknowledge that, but I still wouldn't worship.

@maverik713 God's evidence is everything you see. lets go back to the wonderful old cliche 'something cant come from nothing.' where did all this something we see in abundance come from, in your opinion. the fact that something can come from nothing is a perfectly logical reason, in my mind, to presuppose (that is not the reason i do so however. there are many. it isnt nearly that simple). yes we evolved it, but where did it begin? if we came from monkeys, as many will say, when did the

Being a Christian means that you have admited that you're not perfect, you make mistakes, and are not worthy of God but have accepted His free gift of eternal life. The definition of a Christian is not a perfect person. We do things wrong too. Everyday. Just like everyone else. We just have Someone who takes away all the wrong in our lives and forgives us. He washes away all the sin. He makes us free. That doesn't mean we strive to sin, it means that He forgives us for it when we do. Praying4U!

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose."

And Jesus being God sacrificed in the sense that Yes he was God, so there was no need to become human, and feel everything a human feels.

with the same story. They find God, and even though their life is tough (financial problems, relationships, sickness, etc...) they feel a joy and they can't explain it. the kind of joy that makes you cry and smile and laugh at the same time. Not crying cuz ur sad or mad. but because ur OVERLY happy for no apparent reason, when things seem to be at the worst, there is still joy inside! Through many troubled situations in my life, I have found that God is real, and nothing can compare to that

About the joy and you being empty. I never said you were empty (that statement is nowhere in my comment). But i still stick to what I said through my experiences and through the experiences of the people I meet. I came to find that without God, although I may be happy and feel like I have everything, there always came a point when I was alone that reality hit me, and I realized that I was constantly searching for something to fill me. Ive met countless people who with different experiences end

@cantu18luis I quote: "At the end of the day, you still feel an emptyness inside." You can split hairs on "being empty" and having a feeling of "emptyness(sic) inside" but to me it's essentially the same. My life has plenty of purpose without a god and yours can too. If you have a feeling you can't explain, how do you know it's God? I don't doubt that you had whatever feeling you say you had, but to presume that it is God is unjustified.

Hey bro, srry this is a pretty late reply to ur comment. But in no way or form am i trying to be arrogant. Everybody chooses what they want to believe and they all have their reasons for it. I am simply sharing with you what I believe. It might seem arrogant to you because I am sure of what I believe, I've experienced his presence, I've seen miracles...infact, my life is a miracle! The experiences I've been through have taken my beliefs to a whole other level. Now not only do I believe, i know

@cantu18luis @cantu18luis Like I said before, do you choose to believe in the Sun? Of course not. Believing in something is being convinced that it is true. In fact, acknowledging that the Sun exists goes beyond belief into the realm of knowledge. You can't believe in something that you know is true. You believe in something in place of knowing.
People of other faiths have claimed to have experiences that proved their god is real. How do we tell who is right?

@ 3:30 - thats exactly right man. An innocent man did take the place of the criminal. And that criminal got to go free. And the Judge was pleased.
That criminal is you and me. And as undeserving as we are of that freedom and as many times as we might go and do that same crime again, Jesus did it anyway because he loves us.
Glory to God. Thanks be to Jesus.

Anyone that thinks for them self understands that God is not an interventionist. Pray all you want, but he's not going to waste his efforts on giving you a bike for Christmas or dispatching revenge on your enemies. Humans are too petty for Him to be bothered and Christians should understand that if they're ever to be taken seriously, the ought to start with humility first and focus on how their faith works for them. I appreciate your video and purpose Mav.

-Continuing from the previous post- I apologize for that. But yeah, the last thing I'm going to say is that God does say that He loves you. He says it by letting you live to see another day, by even letting you exist, and by letting the sun shine for you. And God has an everlasting love for us, no matter what we do. And It breaks my heart to see that you don't believe in the one true God. I'll still be praying for you even though you can't think for me.
With Much Love,
Tamaya
