I know i was once you..who said who cares about god as if he created the world.
but after much thought and self thinking i stepped a bit closer to the lord. it may sound silly at first but trying it wont hurt..and it may be someting you enjoy
Clearly you think there is a god, and the one in this video is Christ, and you think He's gay. The Bible clearly states in Leviticus 20:13 that "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." Just try to argue.
Wow, what a special video! I was wearing a big smile throughout. It would be nice to see some tracts being distributed as well, but I'm not even trying to judge things. A true display of love in and of itself means a lot to people and is something we all need. Praise God for freehugs4christ! ( -:
Thats just so sweet it brings tears to my eyes, God is so good, and His love is just beyond what I could ever imagine it would be. May you all know how great and big His love is for you.
Jesus spent time with people. Often going into the home of a stranger to share a meal. The hugs are just a way of showing that Jesus and the kids giving them care. If it opens the door to sharing the gospel then it is an even better thing. Besides, studies have shown that people need hugs. We need contact with other human beings. I think this video and what the kids did, is great.
u idiots really believe in that bible thing..its more making fun of god..if u would have any sense of reality u would understand..but most of human population is stupidity..i believe in god..but i kinda dont believe in Jessus..what sins u r watermellons..if god is omnipotent..why doesnt he just forgive them..he loves u?,yeah right.U go to hell if u dont praise him...that sounds pitifull and pathetic for a god..all religions are about the same..and bible..now i think losers will try to insult me
i believe in god...but Jessus was and ordinary person u kid...oh....study more history and see what the followers of god did to the world...and HELL?...its like with the romans...if u r not a good lil boy u"ll become a gladiator :)...i believe in God...he will never help u...he already did...gave u life and a good mind thats his gift...dont waste it u losers
alright you guys below me arguing over something stupid. Just enjoy the video. This is pretty amazing. I guess its just sibling rivalry...Because you know, we are all family if your Lord and Savior is Jesus :)
Absolutely a waste of time are they afraid to witness? tell them about the prodical son how his father hugged him and welcomed him home Give them the gospel!!!!
21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, (A) but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name? 23 Then I will announce to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!
"Why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say"
just open your mouths and speak about Jesus, tell them about their sin and how it separates them from God. how God sent Jesus as an atonement for all who would forsake sin and put their trust in Him continued
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the TERROR OF THE LORD, we persuade men.
How are you people showing God's love? This is ridiculous and a complete waste of time. Don't speak with them about their sinful nature and pending judgment in front of God if they reject the Lord Jesus Christ...that would be uncool huh?
At the end she says she is a student, certainly not a student of the Bible!
that was my thought. i'm sure she's sincere, and i'm hesitant to say it's wrong, but i see no example of paul, john baptist, nor elijah doing this. (no example of an alter call either that i know of)
The way the apostles and prohets preach is the way we preach, the way Jesus preached is the way we preach. If you are ok with the world, then you are not ok with God. Nothing to hesitate about, it is wrong.
Mark 2:16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
From all your postings, I see you don't read to well nor do know you read the scriptures or know Jesus Christ of Nazareth. (con't)
I think the reason why your upset as well as others with negative comments, is because their are people who care about the impoverish, the prositutes, addicts, acholics and soforth. The church group did call them to repentance, but with your anger you did not see their message. There are also church groups who provide addiction counsel or other ways to bring them away from their sinful nature. I've seen it done and I can testify to it. (con't)
Are you serious? This isn't the work of God. I'm a born again Christian, a street preacher. This isn't sharing God's love, I could only see this doing more harm than good, not to mention a woman hugging men!
Are you serious. Do you know how a simple hug like this can be so good to someone who needs it. And how do you know this isn't the work of God. He works in different ways, just cause you see its wrong doesnt mean God does. Let the Holy Spirit open your eyes, cause thats the only way you can see his works. God Bless You.
hmm i understand what you are saying, but i would say if these people aren't hearing the gospel does a hug really do them any good. it might make them feel better about themselves or their current situation but what does that do for their soul's salvation? i think that its awesome these people are on the streets but their time could be spent so much better witnessing and sharing the gospel of Christ rather than just giving hugs and holding a sign.
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Jesus did a lot of things that man had written into Jewish Laws, like don't touch the dead, or touching leopards or eating with sinners and drunkards, etc.
The people who are homeless hears the message of salvation everyday.
Sean, please allow the Holy Spirit to lead you instead of a religious one.
ARE YOU KIDDING GENE.ILL TELL YOU WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT PREACHES AND A SPIRIT FILLED MAN SUCH AS SEAN PREACHES THIS.
JN 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;It is expedient for you that I go away:for if I go not away,the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart,I will send him unto you.And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Thats what the Spirit teaches, not this hugs garbage. READ YOUR BIBLE GENE...HYPOCRITE!
You failed to look at their second video where they(the group who made this video) do preach repentance and to be save through Jesus Christ as well as cloth and feed the homeless.
So are you trying to tell me that Sean is the Comforter. In addition I don't see how I'm a hypocrite when reciting the "Word of God."
I thought the greatest gift of the Spirit is Love.
It's easy to accuse people of their sins, but it's a lot more rewarding to bring people to Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen.
No I am saying a Spirit filled man preaches what the Spirit preaches. Not only that but God does not love everyone. God hates sinners. And Im pretty sure that the repentance that they preach is not biblical repentance where you must foresake your sin.
Also, it is not accusation, its correction, rebuke, its testifying that the works of the world are evil. Thats what Jesus did.
But most you could careless if they repent or not, becuase their is no love in you. You guys are ravenous wolves.
Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
The only spirit that your filled with is an accusing spirit.
Really cool guy? A street preacher such as myself and sean could care less? You have no clue what love is and you have no clue what the verse you quoted means...YOU NEED TO REPENT YOU HYPOCRITE WHEN YOU YOURSELF ARE ACCUSING ME, YOU CANT EVEN LIVE UP TO YOUR OWN STANDARD OF LIVING.
Once again you proved my point, ravenous wolves who can careless about souls being brought to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
You and Sean can not preach, I've seen your lame video. You too are very sad and may the Lord have mercy on your souls.
I haven't seen one person give their life to Christ on your video, therefore your anger in the street has produced nothing. "And you will know them by their fruit."
I have no videos up me preaching you moron. Also I would think that you would consider Noah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and others a failure because Noah didnt bring a single man to the Lord after preaching 120 years...I think you are pretty stupid. Once again you have never seen me preach. Once again...your a moron. A lack of results does not mean failure. By your own standards Jesus was a failure as well and He preached to thousands but only a few came.
Once again you do err. Noah brought his whole family along, as well as his in-laws with a slew of animals. Unlike Lot and the two angels, nevertheless his two dauthers were saved from the fire and brimstone.
I know your not trying to equate yourself with Jesus or any of the prophets.
Once again you change my words about Jesus, boy that sound famaliar, I guess it was from something I read in the Bible.
For the record, Jesus was very successful in saving souls, not you.
In addition, who are you for someone to want your credibility or approval. Thats what's wrong with this world, a whole bunch of little gods running around thinking people need there approval.
How can you say you love God and not Love your brother in Christ Jesus?
Look sir or madame, the accuser of the brethren is Satan, thats what they are talking about in Rev. 12:10, you have to keep scripture in context. this video displays nothing Biblical, Jesus ate and sat with people and told them to STOP SINNING. he did not give hugs to people as they walked by. Study the Bible. Love is telling people about Jesus not giving hugs
Judas kissed Jesus when he was turning him over to the roman soldiers, if the gospel is not presented then these people are hugging people as they go on their way to hell. thus virtually every hug they give without giving the gospel is a wasted opportunity to potentially lead someone to salvation through Christ, which is the only way, Praise the Lord
You rush to judgement like the other folks who made their angry comments. They have preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ. See their second video and read the description.
Just tell the truth you don't like the homeless. It seems like you made the assumption, that since their in an impoverish situation that they are sinners. You really don't know how many have already choose to walk with Jesus Christ.
i didn't make any assumption, everyone is a sinner, you are and so am i. you aren't a sinner because you sin, you sin because you're a sinner. thats great if there is another video where they are preaching the Gospel Praise the Lord. but what about the people in this video that they just hug and let go, were they given the gospel, what did that hug really profit them?
Furthermore if anyone is rushing to judgment i would have to say friend, that individual is you. for someone who feels so passionately that someone should not judge you shouldn't be so quick to judge me. you don't even know me and yet you are so bold as to say i don't like the homeless. i'd have to say you're being a little hypocritical. they are people just like everyone else and they need the Gospel.
and whats more i never specified anything about what type of people they were out giving hugs to. i said they should be giving those people the gospel. so please in the future don't go on any rants that you just come up with off the top of your head, everything i said had to do with presenting the gospel. if you don't have anything that is on topic then please don't respond at all, i think this video is more sad rather than enraging like you assumed i did. have a nice day
They did preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, just because they didn't record for the YouTube audience dosen't mean that they didn't preached the Gospel. You still danced around the issue, instead of admitting that you were wrong.
I wonder how many people have you preached to about turning away from your sinful acts in the inner city? Matter of fact how many people have you prayed for while holding their hand in prayers? Is there a video of this, so that we may believe you?
what did i dance around? and what am i wrong about
hugs are a waste of time as far as giving the gospel
what would you like for me to apologize for? please in all sincerity what did i say that offended you to the point that i need to apologize? if we want to ask for apologies then i think you should give one to me accusing me of not liking the poor, and i already agreed that they may have preached the gospel, and i said thats great, but the hugs are a waste of time in light of the gospel
I see, you don't read very well. I guess they need to give you a hug too, since you have repented of your Sins.
As it is written the greatest gift is LOVE. God Bless and go to the highways and bi-ways preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and repentance of our sins. As society says, talk is cheap.
i don't understand you, don't judge but you'll judge anyone who says something you don't like...hypocritical. Giving people Jesus is love, hugs are not love if that is all you give. if you were dying and i had the antidote to your poison and all i did was give you a hug then how is that love. i agree that they may be witnessing off camera, but what about the people that they just hugged and let go, if they chased them down off camera then Praise the Lord, but still hugging alone is not love
i did encourage them friend, i encouraged them to witness, and i said that if they are only giving hugs then they are wasting opportunities to share the Gospel =]
man you just hit the nail on the head with that one! =] even devout atheist switch to christianity. its the only proven, not only that, but the only religion that had a great figure give himself up from the creator! jesus christ is the man!!!! =]
No examples of hugging in the new testament. Preaching the gospel yes. Hugging implies that the sinner is accepted the way they are, but they are only accepted if they repent and believe the gospel.
you sound like the pharisees who criticized Jesus for hanging out with 'sinners' and prostitutes and tax collectors... sweeten up, my dear friend - do you know Jesus?
Umm, I have to agree with this guy. I understand your motives might be nice. I just hope that you aren't just giving hugs out. I would say Biblically if no one is hearing the Gospel then you are wasting your time. Time that could be spent on preaching the Gospel.
John 6:29 Jesus answered "The work of God is this: Believing in the One He hath sent."
Believing in Christ is living how He commanded us to live. He commanded us to make disciples and teach them to obey the Him. Matthew 28:18-20
Yes you can give a person a fish or you can teach a person to fish. Nothing wrong with hugging yet please give them the WORD of GOD and the GOSPEL of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Please tell them how they have sinned against God how God hates sin and what God did for them to be forgiven; He became a man by sending HIS only begotten son; was born of a virgin and lived a perfect life then willfully laid HIS life down being nailed to a Cross shedding HIS blood as our substitute then rose from the dead!
Not only just that but I wouldn't advise women hugging men(strangers)nor would I advise that for men hugging women(strangers).
It may not be a big deal to some, but its not biblical, and I think it has the potential for more harm than good. I just pray that if you all aren't witnessing that maybe you would start doing a lot more of that and a little less hugging.
oh and in my first comment i meant "Him" not "the Him"
Interesting....Different but it still sends a message about Jesus. Very creative and I like the music behind it. As simple as it is it's true someone needs a hug now and then to know someone still cares especially Jesus.
wow this is so nice to see. very moving to my spirit and the love you share is so nice to see. You are so blessed! So much joy and hope and love to share huh? I love God! Thanks for sharing.
there are a lot of broken hearted people out there and they need to know that God loves them and what better way to show love than a hug s keep it up guys
. . . praise God! wow, what a sweet idea!! i want to do that!! hugs are so powerful, love is so powerful! and God is love. Amen. much props and respect for going out. i think a large part of The Body is well overdue for standing beside the broken, laying hands on em and praying etc. feeding the hungry etc. Praise God for evangeligal hearts. Much peace.
I'm at a lost for words. I don't know exactly what to say and that's unusual. Giving a hug is so simple and easy yet so powerful. I want to burst out and just start crying. Thank you so much 4 ur love, and kindness. Love is the way. Love thru a hug. Man i just love yall all. I'm just so thankful that God has allowed me to be a witness to this even though i'm thousands of miles ur ministry has affected my life and i shall tell others of, Free Hugs 4 Christ. God Bless........
People shouldn't have to give hugs for Christ - they should give hugs because it is the right thing to be kind and nice. They shouldn't need a deity to be kind to humanity.
They shouldn't be giving hugs to get something..like a conversion from another person. Hopefully this isn't the reason they are giving the hugs.
Exactly. This is why you see people reaching out to help others that don't believe. Kinda like you just did here. Your hatred of God is showing....What exactly would the world be like without God? Hmm I think we have already seen it in other cultures. No thanks.
When I watched the video, I saw them hug then walk away. I didn't see an attempt to "convert" someone. Just giving out hugs. The Bible says that Jesus associated with the forgotten, unloved, unwanted. He was reaching out. They were doing what Christ did. Reaching out to those that we wouldn't necessarily reach out to. And not for the reason of conversion.
"See, its not religion its self that inspires kindness like this. It is the Love of Jesus. Religion is simply a way to espress our love to him, worship him, and commune with fellow believers"
Jesus doesn't have one thing to do with kindness. You're either an asshole or you're not.
This is a very simple way of showing people God's love. It takes courage though for a stranger to hug another stranger - not something you see every day.
I liked this video, and I am a staunch atheist. At no point did the poster say that Jesus was the literal son of god, born of virgin birth from a mother who was immaculately conceived, or magically raised from the dead. So there is really no statement made to disagree with. A good trick to press genitals with some cute girls though;)
I loved the whole meaning of this video, it made me all teary eyed. God bless you for doing this. A hug can really make a persons day and also remind them that no matter who you are or where your'e from we all need love.
Just remember that Jesus preached hell more than anything else. People don't get saved unless they are told that they are sinners who are going to fry without Christ.
Not true--read your Bible more. Besides, people aren't going to accept Christ unless they see unconditional love for who they are. The world already tells them how "worthless" they are. God says they are precious in His sight.
i was been really touched with this video! we all need to hug our fellowmen as what God did to us,whoever we and whatever we are! simple things that people can understand and to touch somebody
a stranger who wants to be a friend. Or where U born with friends already all friends where once strangers.
any way I love U but I know someone who loves U more than U love yourself. His name is Jesus and he wants a HUG from U, he spread out his arms for that hug on the cross. The cross he hug on under the weight of the sins of U,Me and Everybody else.
I wasn't born with friends, no. I'm just not into the whole hugging random strangers thing. Anyway, my original comment was aimed at the person who posted this video. I was curious why he would search out a random atheist and want to friend them. Kinda weird, considering the content of this video.
I'm a random atheist too, so I'm kind of astonished too to receive an invitation. I admire some religious people who use religion as a reason to be kind to each other and love each other and I think in some way if religion doesn't make you a hating person (extremism), but gives you strength for the better things in life or so I'm ok with it. :)
See, its not religion its self that inspires kindness like this. It is the Love of Jesus. Religion is simply a way to espress our love to him, worship him, and commune with fellow believers
For all the previous comments who think the word is more important...
actions speak louder than words. What do you think is better... telling people about the love of Christ or letting the love of Christ speak through your actions?
Words only are the means to get to the goal... Love is the goal. Words without actions are empty. Love is not a word.
We all need to hug more strangers. God only knows what they might be going through, and how much a simple act of love can change their day, and hopefully their attitude.
"Love your neighbor as yourself.." Sometimes we all need a hug. The tare and the wheat grow together until the time of harvest. We are ALL in this together. Amen.
The gospel is love. They'll know we are Christians by our love. By our love will they be saved. It probably peaked some interest in someone's heart, and then they came to church, and were saved.
That is so nice more Christ believers needs to do this i might start my self. and always remember you guys and tell others how i started doing it if it happens. thats a blessing to be able to do that. you will always find true. believers doing work outside of the media flashes.
I thank God for you all who are each planting seeds of joy and hope in Jesus Christ. It is so awesome and promising to see so many nationalities praising God and doing His work. It's just proof that the gospel can be spread, and it's our jobs as Christians to do so. We are all here for reason.
The Word of God does need to be spoken in season and out of season, and no "free hugs" can replace God's Holy Word. Just as long as we are putting God first and still speaking His Word to others, right? Again I thank God for you two and the gift of boldness to hold a sign, advertising Jesus Christ! You, your actions, your words and your gestures are the billboards for Christ, and I thank God for you.
May God Bless You Exceedingly & Abundantly. I Thank You Lord!!
Some people have the gift of evangelism, others prophecy, others diverse tongues and miracles, some have many gifts. Some people can't do any of that stuff very well, but they can give hugs, and so they do.
Such deep conviction! Way to plant those seeds of love and hope for a lost planet. Another poster made the comment that you needed to preach the WORD - I believe you do. Sometimes no words are the best. GOOD WITNESS - GOD BLESS.
Dude this is not bad; and it is good to be kind to people, but you would be more effective preaching the WORD to people, not saying it's bad, but it would be better spend TELLING People about Christ, and their need for His sacrifice on the Cross because we ARE Creatures of wrath for (God's death and perfect Judgement: wrath because of the wages of our sin)!
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellance and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. (Philippians 4:8)
some people just walk by?...I think it's beautiful,
to extend love to strangers.

seanpaynedotnet 3 years ago
Are you serious. Do you know how a simple hug like this can be so good to someone who needs it. And how do you know this isn't the work of God. He works in different ways, just cause you see its wrong doesnt mean God does. Let the Holy Spirit open your eyes, cause thats the only way you can see his works. God Bless You.

hmm i understand what you are saying, but i would say if these people aren't hearing the gospel does a hug really do them any good. it might make them feel better about themselves or their current situation but what does that do for their soul's salvation? i think that its awesome these people are on the streets but their time could be spent so much better witnessing and sharing the gospel of Christ rather than just giving hugs and holding a sign.

1 Corinthians 7:1
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
According to the Bible the heathen are pure evil. Who knows what that men are thinking about when they are getting that hug.
It doesn't say go ye into the world and hug people.
It says:
Mark 16:15
15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
No hugging to share God's love in the new testament. Just remember God also hates

John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Jesus did a lot of things that man had written into Jewish Laws, like don't touch the dead, or touching leopards or eating with sinners and drunkards, etc.
The people who are homeless hears the message of salvation everyday.
Sean, please allow the Holy Spirit to lead you instead of a religious one.

ARE YOU KIDDING GENE.ILL TELL YOU WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT PREACHES AND A SPIRIT FILLED MAN SUCH AS SEAN PREACHES THIS.
JN 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;It is expedient for you that I go away:for if I go not away,the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart,I will send him unto you.And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Thats what the Spirit teaches, not this hugs garbage. READ YOUR BIBLE GENE...HYPOCRITE!
rocksolidengineer 3 years ago
You failed to look at their second video where they(the group who made this video) do preach repentance and to be save through Jesus Christ as well as cloth and feed the homeless.
So are you trying to tell me that Sean is the Comforter. In addition I don't see how I'm a hypocrite when reciting the "Word of God."
I thought the greatest gift of the Spirit is Love.
It's easy to accuse people of their sins, but it's a lot more rewarding to bring people to Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen.
gene7arttech 3 years ago
No I am saying a Spirit filled man preaches what the Spirit preaches. Not only that but God does not love everyone. God hates sinners. And Im pretty sure that the repentance that they preach is not biblical repentance where you must foresake your sin.
Also, it is not accusation, its correction, rebuke, its testifying that the works of the world are evil. Thats what Jesus did.
rocksolidengineer 3 years ago
But most you could careless if they repent or not, becuase their is no love in you. You guys are ravenous wolves.
Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
The only spirit that your filled with is an accusing spirit.
gene7arttech 3 years ago
Really cool guy? A street preacher such as myself and sean could care less? You have no clue what love is and you have no clue what the verse you quoted means...YOU NEED TO REPENT YOU HYPOCRITE WHEN YOU YOURSELF ARE ACCUSING ME, YOU CANT EVEN LIVE UP TO YOUR OWN STANDARD OF LIVING.
rocksolidengineer 3 years ago
Once again you proved my point, ravenous wolves who can careless about souls being brought to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
You and Sean can not preach, I've seen your lame video. You too are very sad and may the Lord have mercy on your souls.
I haven't seen one person give their life to Christ on your video, therefore your anger in the street has produced nothing. "And you will know them by their fruit."

I have no videos up me preaching you moron. Also I would think that you would consider Noah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and others a failure because Noah didnt bring a single man to the Lord after preaching 120 years...I think you are pretty stupid. Once again you have never seen me preach. Once again...your a moron. A lack of results does not mean failure. By your own standards Jesus was a failure as well and He preached to thousands but only a few came.

Once again you do err. Noah brought his whole family along, as well as his in-laws with a slew of animals. Unlike Lot and the two angels, nevertheless his two dauthers were saved from the fire and brimstone.
I know your not trying to equate yourself with Jesus or any of the prophets.
Once again you change my words about Jesus, boy that sound famaliar, I guess it was from something I read in the Bible.
For the record, Jesus was very successful in saving souls, not you.

Look sir or madame, the accuser of the brethren is Satan, thats what they are talking about in Rev. 12:10, you have to keep scripture in context. this video displays nothing Biblical, Jesus ate and sat with people and told them to STOP SINNING. he did not give hugs to people as they walked by. Study the Bible. Love is telling people about Jesus not giving hugs
cont.
gnc869187 3 years ago

Judas kissed Jesus when he was turning him over to the roman soldiers, if the gospel is not presented then these people are hugging people as they go on their way to hell. thus virtually every hug they give without giving the gospel is a wasted opportunity to potentially lead someone to salvation through Christ, which is the only way, Praise the Lord
gnc869187 3 years ago
You rush to judgement like the other folks who made their angry comments. They have preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ. See their second video and read the description.
Just tell the truth you don't like the homeless. It seems like you made the assumption, that since their in an impoverish situation that they are sinners. You really don't know how many have already choose to walk with Jesus Christ.
May the Lord have mercy on your souls.
gene7arttech 3 years ago
i didn't make any assumption, everyone is a sinner, you are and so am i. you aren't a sinner because you sin, you sin because you're a sinner. thats great if there is another video where they are preaching the Gospel Praise the Lord. but what about the people in this video that they just hug and let go, were they given the gospel, what did that hug really profit them?
gnc869187 3 years ago
Furthermore if anyone is rushing to judgment i would have to say friend, that individual is you. for someone who feels so passionately that someone should not judge you shouldn't be so quick to judge me. you don't even know me and yet you are so bold as to say i don't like the homeless. i'd have to say you're being a little hypocritical. they are people just like everyone else and they need the Gospel.
gnc869187 3 years ago
and whats more i never specified anything about what type of people they were out giving hugs to. i said they should be giving those people the gospel. so please in the future don't go on any rants that you just come up with off the top of your head, everything i said had to do with presenting the gospel. if you don't have anything that is on topic then please don't respond at all, i think this video is more sad rather than enraging like you assumed i did. have a nice day
gnc869187 3 years ago
They did preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, just because they didn't record for the YouTube audience dosen't mean that they didn't preached the Gospel. You still danced around the issue, instead of admitting that you were wrong.
I wonder how many people have you preached to about turning away from your sinful acts in the inner city? Matter of fact how many people have you prayed for while holding their hand in prayers? Is there a video of this, so that we may believe you?
gene7arttech 3 years ago
what did i dance around? and what am i wrong about
hugs are a waste of time as far as giving the gospel
what would you like for me to apologize for? please in all sincerity what did i say that offended you to the point that i need to apologize? if we want to ask for apologies then i think you should give one to me accusing me of not liking the poor, and i already agreed that they may have preached the gospel, and i said thats great, but the hugs are a waste of time in light of the gospel
gnc869187 3 years ago
I see, you don't read very well. I guess they need to give you a hug too, since you have repented of your Sins.
As it is written the greatest gift is LOVE. God Bless and go to the highways and bi-ways preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and repentance of our sins. As society says, talk is cheap.
gene7arttech 3 years ago
i don't understand you, don't judge but you'll judge anyone who says something you don't like...hypocritical. Giving people Jesus is love, hugs are not love if that is all you give. if you were dying and i had the antidote to your poison and all i did was give you a hug then how is that love. i agree that they may be witnessing off camera, but what about the people that they just hugged and let go, if they chased them down off camera then Praise the Lord, but still hugging alone is not love

No examples of hugging in the new testament. Preaching the gospel yes. Hugging implies that the sinner is accepted the way they are, but they are only accepted if they repent and believe the gospel.

Umm, I have to agree with this guy. I understand your motives might be nice. I just hope that you aren't just giving hugs out. I would say Biblically if no one is hearing the Gospel then you are wasting your time. Time that could be spent on preaching the Gospel.
John 6:29 Jesus answered "The work of God is this: Believing in the One He hath sent."
Believing in Christ is living how He commanded us to live. He commanded us to make disciples and teach them to obey the Him. Matthew 28:18-20

Yes you can give a person a fish or you can teach a person to fish. Nothing wrong with hugging yet please give them the WORD of GOD and the GOSPEL of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Please tell them how they have sinned against God how God hates sin and what God did for them to be forgiven; He became a man by sending HIS only begotten son; was born of a virgin and lived a perfect life then willfully laid HIS life down being nailed to a Cross shedding HIS blood as our substitute then rose from the dead!

Not only just that but I wouldn't advise women hugging men(strangers)nor would I advise that for men hugging women(strangers).
It may not be a big deal to some, but its not biblical, and I think it has the potential for more harm than good. I just pray that if you all aren't witnessing that maybe you would start doing a lot more of that and a little less hugging.
oh and in my first comment i meant "Him" not "the Him"
but yea Repent and Trust in Christ

People shouldn't have to give hugs for Christ - they should give hugs because it is the right thing to be kind and nice. They shouldn't need a deity to be kind to humanity.
They shouldn't be giving hugs to get something..like a conversion from another person. Hopefully this isn't the reason they are giving the hugs.

When I watched the video, I saw them hug then walk away. I didn't see an attempt to "convert" someone. Just giving out hugs. The Bible says that Jesus associated with the forgotten, unloved, unwanted. He was reaching out. They were doing what Christ did. Reaching out to those that we wouldn't necessarily reach out to. And not for the reason of conversion.

I'm a random atheist too, so I'm kind of astonished too to receive an invitation. I admire some religious people who use religion as a reason to be kind to each other and love each other and I think in some way if religion doesn't make you a hating person (extremism), but gives you strength for the better things in life or so I'm ok with it. :)

For all the previous comments who think the word is more important...
actions speak louder than words. What do you think is better... telling people about the love of Christ or letting the love of Christ speak through your actions?
