I can relate Matt! I've been lazy & complacent all too long .. I've confessed it & there is a burning inside me wanting a change & surrender to Him. I love your work .. you are definitely gifted by the Lord. Honor Him with it & be blessed.
why would you say your a lazy christain if youv always had faith then you can never be lazy just didnt have your faith showing its just been hideing a little
@CHAOSTATTOOVIEW20 I've had faith but it's like I haven't done much with it. When I made this video I hadn't been trying to reach others or be a light to them very much so I decided to change all of that starting with the video.
God is the creator of the universe... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 God is His word, and His word is He. He spoke existence into existence. Jesus is God, manifest in the flesh: "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." John 1:10 "I and my father are one", "If you have seen me, you have seen the father", etc. "If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain..." If He is not God, faith in Him is vain.
@2spotlefty My bible must be wrong? Because it says a Giraffe was Himself manifest in the flesh...Darn, I must be so stupid to believe something like that written down and passed down in a book.
Everyone who is reading this comment, please click on my username for my videos I made about the The Truth of the World. I have found out what the truth of life is, the truth of the world, and the truth of God. Please, I really want people to watch and listen what I have to say. No more living in false reality, no more living in illusions, no more thinking there is no way out......its time to lead your life into The Truth of the World!!!!!!!!!
God is the calm voice I hear in my head, All the other voices are past choices I've made retelling me how to make my next choice. In essence God is I.. I'am.... The kingdom of Heaven is within, Is this not what Jesus preached? I belive thier is a creator, And he knows everything about us because he is literally a part of us...I also believe this is exactly what jesus was trying to teach us. p.s. I'm not crazy..
The question "who is God" is difficult to answer. He is such a complex being that it would be impossible to understand Him fully. I like to compare it to the grand canyon. Seeing how majestic and beautiful it is makes you want to see more. However, there is an end to the grand canyon. Praise God that His love never ends.
my advice: dont trust what anyone says about God based on their own experiences experiences. Let God speak for Himself through His Word

If you question who/what you are answer this...what number can not be found throughout the universe? The absence of that number is the explaination that everything is that number.
xXRoxasKH2Xx...try thinking of this...all of the energy that surrounds you and is you is still 1 energy...merely expanded. Imagine you had a ton of flour with which you baked a million different things...each may vary slightly in ingredients but what do they all have within.
energy, energy can turn into matter. This is true for all things, from something as complex as you and I; to something as simple as a pebble. Yet is the pebble not also made up of atoms and energy? Therefore, we are one with this pebble. Because our energies are the same, or our wave patterns are equally made up of the same things, just a different place at a different time. Energy runs threw everything and is everywhere around us. This energy must've originated from 1 source that started it all
God isn't a physical being we can just simply imagine. He is metaphysical and imagining him as something within our minds, bounded by the laws of physics, limits his limitless power. We can't think of him or describe him, we can only describe his actions and the miraculous things he's done. I like to think of him as a presence. He's always there, around us, in everything. He is everything because he created everything. We are all made up of atoms, which then turns into wave patterns. Matter is
God is Jesus Christ, Jesus said this you see me you see the father. Living for God first starts with faith a beilef then salvation. Repentance, baptism in Jesus name, and then reciving the gift of the holy ghost.
...that does not surprise me. I assume you have not read any other book in your life, than the ONE and ONLY book you are dedicated too. So I think you are not much educated, are you? And even if you are, you most probably haven't ever try to use your brain, explore different paths of thinking and viewing the world....
However, due to my infinite grace, I will explain you why God could be a dog. I actually refer to creationism which says God created the animals to "entertain" the humans. Well, of course we human think we are more advanced than animals, we have language, technology and can perceive past and future. But on the other hand, the dogs were not much less successfull in living on this planet. Even they have an intelligence which enabled them to live here for millions of years....
Humans are a very sophisticated species, but it works with less or different approaches too. So where do we take the arrogance from to say God created the animals to "entertain" us, give us "joy". It could also be the other way round couldn't it. Of course we think we are supperior than animals, supperior than dogs. But based on what? Language, Intelligence etc.? These are just our own criteria again. If you play footbal according to your own rules, of course you'll win...
I actually had the idea when I walked back home from work lately... passing a dog that was laying in the sun and enjoying his free time. I mean we humans bother so much with what it's going on in our had. The lifestyle of a dog could also be seen superior to that of humans. And who knows.... maybe they (the dogs) just laugh about us. Thinking "You idiot humans, think you are God's children, think you are the chosen ones, but you are just here to give us food and play with us..ha ha ha....
God is a no nonsense man with a wicked-long beard. He loves all of us and knows what we're thinking and doing all of the time. He watches us always, even in the shower, but he's not a pervy wanker. He loves us all, except for fat people of course. He gave us free will and allows us to make our own choices, even if you're an atheist. He'll kill you and send you to hell to choke and burn and suffer and cry forever because he loves you. Tough love baby. He drives a Volvo too, because he's modest.
Jesus was, just from a historical standpoint. I promise you won't be disappointed. Besides all of the common arguments, for ex. creation vs. evolution, how old the earth is, etc. We all have to deal with who Jesus of Nazareth was. We all have to pick one side or the other. He was the biggest phenomena to ever walk this planet. He claimed he was God, and we have to deal with that. I say all these things with love, and I would love it if you would respond. I would love to discuss more with you.
Darn, I posted a whole other comment before this one and It never posted. Sorry hakkujin :/ I can't remember what exactly the first one said. These youtube comment posts need fixin.. This isn't the first time that has happened to me. Booo
We have to understand exactly what is to be a light to the world. Are we showing love to others, are we forgiving people when they wrong us, are we making a sincere effort to share the gospel, are we doing our best to be Christ like? Christians have hurt a lot of people my-self included. So we should start at the heart. That is where the Holy Spirit lives, and that sounds like a good place to start. Any thoughts?
God is my all in all. What else can I say, There are no words good enough to justly describe or define God. People that deny that God exsists are missing out on so much. All we can do is pray and share the Gospel. And I have to come out with it too. I have been given many chances to share the Gospel and have just sat on my hands. And now is the time to fix that. Now that we have stated what God is, What are we going to do with that?
good ?ton i realy have no idea who or whut he is i see a lot of ppl and others things as a thret or just in my why god i ushowy talk to not ever sure if he lisons so i stop talking to him iv got noidea if he'll ever for give me or not
Hello ikki34346 :D I was just hoping I could be some sort of motivation for you, but He does listen. I am not sure what it is you are going through but He has heard you, and He will forgive you. If you would like to know how to get to know Him, just send me a message and I would be glad to talk to you more. There is nothing you have done that He won't forgive. I have done some pretty bad things, but his grace is sufficient. You are not alone. In love -Cody
MrMentalistic, I have a great amount of respect for you sir, but you might have some common misconceptions about the Christian faith. Contrary to what most people believe, Christianity is in no way a list of actions one is supposed to approximate their life to, and if they disobey the list God is very angry. Unfortunately this has become a common belief. Speaking as a Christian, I have never allowed anyone to take control of me or manipulate me into believing what I do. (Cont...)
however, I have decided to submit myself by my own accord to God. And because of this I have a freedom that I never could have imagined. I love because I want to love, I serve because I want to serve, it's an amazing phenomena. So all of Christianity is built on selflessness not because we have to, but because that's all we can do. I would love to discuss with you more if you would like to, if not then I understand. But I just want you to know how much love and respect I have for you. -Cody
i just dont understand how you can be happy letting somone else rule wat you do and how you act... my mum is christian to but she raised me to belive in in wat i want.... I want to belive that my accomplishments are because i worked to be wat i am and not because a greater force influenced them... I can see why some people would belive in god cause i did when i was younger, he was my savier and somone who held me up but now i know i can hold myself up and save myself.... its just wat i belive...
Yea, I definitely respect what you believe and I'm not going to push anything on you, but I still think you might be a bit confused about Christianity. I don't let God boss me around, give me rules, and tell me what to do. That just isn't what Jesus was about. Jesus was about loving God, and loving people, and I do these things because I love to do them. I do not feel pressured at all to do good works and try to achieve God's smile, I've already got it.
And I've got it because I have acknowledged his son, I've understood that nothing I can ever do is good enough, I can't sustain myself, I am a horrible, sinful, person. And I know we (including myself) like to think we CAN sustain ourselves, and we CAN hold ourselves together.. but for how long? Until we die? Then what?
I know there are alot of other theories, and religions, etc. out there man, but we have to deal with this guy Jesus. He claimed to be God and did miraculous things.....
He is the greatest human phenomena that ever lived. We have to pick a side, and I absolutely promise my life to you, that if you pick his, you won't regret it. Nobody outside of Christianity (true christians) can understand the absolute freedom, and overwhelming love we Christians have. I'm telling you from experience, I thought I didn't need God, I was doing fine on my own.. but when you have that transformation, you are never the same.. And you reach a level of happiness you never dreamed of.
So really, I just challenge you to really look into and research Jesus, and what he was about. Because there seem to be a lot of misconceptions about him, I love you man and wish you all the best. If you ever need anything just let me know, I'll be here on youtube.. -Cody
who is god (* humming*) sorry never rely thought about that stuff like that so i don't have a answer wait let me think more (1hur. later) ok i got something the guy that mad atom and Eva wait did i spell it right idk anyways thats my answer......i think......? O_O
God is the author and creator of life, the forgiver of our sins, salvation, forgiveness, my personal Lord and Savior. He sent His son to die for us so that all we have to do is trust Him and believe in Him - we do not have to do good works or try to live a holy life to gain entrance to heaven...just have faith.
I am SSSOOOOOOO glad tht there r other Christian YouTubers
God is real! He is the creator of ALL!!! u, me, the world, the universe, etc., etc., etc.
and I hav been a lazy Christian, too, dood! i'm not even sure ima real Christian! could u help ME out? plz!!!! I am in need of a fellow Christians help!
I do not believe that vice and virtue are of equal value, my code of values, though independent of God, is something I hold to quite strongly. I imagine, that we are quite similar in our ethical beliefs. I believe in the Golden Rule, treat others the way you wish to be treated by them. I believe in trying to accept what happens with equanimity and to make the best of things. Kindness and courage are the most important virtues, with or without God.
All I can say is that I respect all people, I realize that faith is an enormous power in many people's lives, that many people who believe in God act with incredible kindness and generosity, but I don't have that belief and I still love others and try, not always successfully, to be a good person. Existentialists believe that, since there is not "ground for existence", i.e. God, that each person must create the meaning for his or her own life.
Hmm, It's like we are both trying to follow a very similar path. Except that my path has some sort of reason behind it. Regardless of how "crazy" faith is, it is still a reason. But the idea of love seems almost illogical to me in the scheme of survival and trying to make yourself as happy as can be- because loving can be hard and can hurt.
I have trouble trying to understand why someone would try to do the same "good" that I do, when they believe that love and goodness is all subjective? Thanks
Matt, I think you are an extremely good person. You are generous with your time and help, I am so grateful for all the times you have answered my questions ad given me suggestions.
But I have to say I do not believe in God. Being alive is an experience for which we all should be very grateful, getting to see the beauty of the world, the creativity and goodness of people. Fo me, the "Good" resides in how we behave in this life, what kind of moral choices we make, and this is all in the here/now
Sorry, I am not Matt, but I do consider myself a Christian. I guess I just had some thoughts for you to consider. Do you believe that we live in a subjective world or an objective world? (A subjective universe has no blue print, no direction. A subjective universe is completely random.) If you believe it is subjective then realize that love, compassion, and truth become nothing more than a subjective experience. (continued)
It may be your belief/opinion that others should be loving like yourself, but you have no compelling reason other than; personal opinion to persuade others to your point of view. Maybe you have no desire to persuade other to your point of view, but if you believe that the world is completely subjective, then your belief construct is as relevant as one who chooses to be a nihilist.
Understand that I do have a great respect for you and the way you live.
I've questioned everything and though I may not have all the answers, I still am completely convinced that this is the one true religion, and yet it is so much more than that. It is a relationship with the creator of the universe that was willing to become nothing to save someone as lazy and sinful as me. :)
I am so glad you posted a video like this! My beliefs are strong in god. And am appostalic. Which is a very strong christian. Who is god to me? Everything. He is the reason why everyone is here today. I go by the bible when I get a chance to and I really love this video!
Ever wanted to know why Atheist don't believe in God? Check out my favorites in my channel, there are a lot of good videos in there. Who knows it may strengthen your faith and give you a edge on spreading the gospel.
First off, I love what you're trying to do. Secondly, who is God? God is why we are here. A lovely creator who we all take for granted, someone that we have no right to say He has done nothing for us, when He's done everything for us. A gracious lover, a giving Father, and a wonderful Savior. The best thing about it is that no matter what anyone says, they can never deny what amazing things God has done in my life.
God is a figment of you imagination. He's a meme, a thought that many people think is real, simply because many people think he's real. The best analogy, is Santa Claus. Yea, god is just like him.
The way I look at it someone or something had to create something at the beginning! Scientists have the big bang theory and christians say its god! For me u dont get something from nothing without a miracle happening somewhere along the way! Do u guys know what i mean?
i don't know what to believe, but i believe there is something or someone who started it all, because otherwise this all wouldn't be right now. This was a great video, i really like the way you talked about it, it was very peacefull and respectfull.
I'm athiest, but i repect others views. Not bad that your trying to get things out there about your own views. I have a few of my own sooner or later i'll finnish up my video on that matter and post it when time allows. Till then, respect to thoughs that speek there minds freelly.
Thanks for your comment Peter. I was trying to be as respectful as possible in creating this video. I look forward to seeing your videos, feel free to post them as video responses when you upload them.
I guess if there was one god, there would only really one religion. But then again may be it should be a mystery and we should just live our lives with we have been given and enjoy it.
Jesus Christ is Lord, have faith in him.

I love because I want to love, I serve because I want to serve, it's an amazing phenomena. So all of Christianity is built on selflessness not because we have to, but because that's all we can do. I would love to discuss with you more if you would like to, if not then I understand. But I just want you to know how much love and respect I have for you. -Cody

i just dont understand how you can be happy letting somone else rule wat you do and how you act... my mum is christian to but she raised me to belive in in wat i want.... I want to belive that my accomplishments are because i worked to be wat i am and not because a greater force influenced them... I can see why some people would belive in god cause i did when i was younger, he was my savier and somone who held me up but now i know i can hold myself up and save myself.... its just wat i belive...

Yea, I definitely respect what you believe and I'm not going to push anything on you, but I still think you might be a bit confused about Christianity. I don't let God boss me around, give me rules, and tell me what to do. That just isn't what Jesus was about. Jesus was about loving God, and loving people, and I do these things because I love to do them. I do not feel pressured at all to do good works and try to achieve God's smile, I've already got it.

And I've got it because I have acknowledged his son, I've understood that nothing I can ever do is good enough, I can't sustain myself, I am a horrible, sinful, person. And I know we (including myself) like to think we CAN sustain ourselves, and we CAN hold ourselves together.. but for how long? Until we die? Then what?
I know there are alot of other theories, and religions, etc. out there man, but we have to deal with this guy Jesus. He claimed to be God and did miraculous things.....

He is the greatest human phenomena that ever lived. We have to pick a side, and I absolutely promise my life to you, that if you pick his, you won't regret it. Nobody outside of Christianity (true christians) can understand the absolute freedom, and overwhelming love we Christians have. I'm telling you from experience, I thought I didn't need God, I was doing fine on my own.. but when you have that transformation, you are never the same.. And you reach a level of happiness you never dreamed of.

So really, I just challenge you to really look into and research Jesus, and what he was about. Because there seem to be a lot of misconceptions about him, I love you man and wish you all the best. If you ever need anything just let me know, I'll be here on youtube.. -Cody

God is the author and creator of life, the forgiver of our sins, salvation, forgiveness, my personal Lord and Savior. He sent His son to die for us so that all we have to do is trust Him and believe in Him - we do not have to do good works or try to live a holy life to gain entrance to heaven...just have faith.

I do not believe that vice and virtue are of equal value, my code of values, though independent of God, is something I hold to quite strongly. I imagine, that we are quite similar in our ethical beliefs. I believe in the Golden Rule, treat others the way you wish to be treated by them. I believe in trying to accept what happens with equanimity and to make the best of things. Kindness and courage are the most important virtues, with or without God.
RustyScupperton 2 years ago
All I can say is that I respect all people, I realize that faith is an enormous power in many people's lives, that many people who believe in God act with incredible kindness and generosity, but I don't have that belief and I still love others and try, not always successfully, to be a good person. Existentialists believe that, since there is not "ground for existence", i.e. God, that each person must create the meaning for his or her own life.
RustyScupperton 2 years ago
Hmm, It's like we are both trying to follow a very similar path. Except that my path has some sort of reason behind it. Regardless of how "crazy" faith is, it is still a reason. But the idea of love seems almost illogical to me in the scheme of survival and trying to make yourself as happy as can be- because loving can be hard and can hurt.
I have trouble trying to understand why someone would try to do the same "good" that I do, when they believe that love and goodness is all subjective? Thanks
GrImR3aP3r916 2 years ago
Matt, I think you are an extremely good person. You are generous with your time and help, I am so grateful for all the times you have answered my questions ad given me suggestions.
But I have to say I do not believe in God. Being alive is an experience for which we all should be very grateful, getting to see the beauty of the world, the creativity and goodness of people. Fo me, the "Good" resides in how we behave in this life, what kind of moral choices we make, and this is all in the here/now
RustyScupperton 2 years ago
Sorry, I am not Matt, but I do consider myself a Christian. I guess I just had some thoughts for you to consider. Do you believe that we live in a subjective world or an objective world? (A subjective universe has no blue print, no direction. A subjective universe is completely random.) If you believe it is subjective then realize that love, compassion, and truth become nothing more than a subjective experience. (continued)
GrImR3aP3r916 2 years ago
It may be your belief/opinion that others should be loving like yourself, but you have no compelling reason other than; personal opinion to persuade others to your point of view. Maybe you have no desire to persuade other to your point of view, but if you believe that the world is completely subjective, then your belief construct is as relevant as one who chooses to be a nihilist.
Understand that I do have a great respect for you and the way you live.
Thanks

How are you able to have so much faith in God? Without questioning the things he does, don't you ever think maybe this might be the wrong religion?
Bpedersen44 2 years ago
I've questioned everything and though I may not have all the answers, I still am completely convinced that this is the one true religion, and yet it is so much more than that. It is a relationship with the creator of the universe that was willing to become nothing to save someone as lazy and sinful as me. :)

Kay, so I'd like to say I smiled a lot throughout the entirety of this video.
To me, God can't even be put into words. Still an odd - but so right - feeling to me, His amazingness is indescribably... amazing.
I feel like I really should have, and do have more to say on the subject, but I can't put it into words. I'll work on it, though. :)
It's incredible how much the knowledge of God's presence and Jesus's love has changed my life so fully.
Just incredible.

Matt, it's Sam from Impact/A&M. Miss you, man!
First off, I love what you're trying to do. Secondly, who is God? God is why we are here. A lovely creator who we all take for granted, someone that we have no right to say He has done nothing for us, when He's done everything for us. A gracious lover, a giving Father, and a wonderful Savior. The best thing about it is that no matter what anyone says, they can never deny what amazing things God has done in my life.
Love you, bro!

God is a figment of you imagination. He's a meme, a thought that many people think is real, simply because many people think he's real. The best analogy, is Santa Claus. Yea, god is just like him.

The way I look at it someone or something had to create something at the beginning! Scientists have the big bang theory and christians say its god! For me u dont get something from nothing without a miracle happening somewhere along the way! Do u guys know what i mean?

I can definitely understand what you're saying. There has to have been an instigating event that started it all. All scientists can agree on that.

I guess if there was one god, there would only really one religion. But then again may be it should be a mystery and we should just live our lives with we have been given and enjoy it.
