  • An no amount of food stored will console me.

  • This is a gosh awful thing to say, but, being a born again Christian, defend myself as I may try, I believe we WILL be hunted down, unless you're gonna live in the woods (I don't really care too) we will be rounded up, given the ultimate ultimatum, or get sent packing. I'm serious. We will be the public enemy #1, and if the rapture didn't happen already, we all may very well WISH we were dead, knowing what God has in store for the last 7 years, it will be terrible beyond comprehension.

  • Oh, don't bother about the soda. Unless you are drinking tons of it, and rotating it out, you will just waste money and have flat carmelized water. Besides, there won't be any electricity PROBABLY, so, you'll be drinking it room temperature too. I don't know what's worse. Buy Tang, or other as healthy as possible powder mixes to mix up on an as needed basis. I don't see powdered eggs and oil, maybe I missed it. Can't fry without oil. AND powdered milk. Sweeten it with EVaporated milk too

  • Keep your water on the lowest shelf. Eventually, possibly, they will leech/leak and drip, and it will ruin, or rust what's underneath it. Change it today!

  • Grace and Peace to you, I stumbled on this video and had not realized the extent to which God had gone ahead of me on this. He gave me this message independent of what I see here. Please see my videos " The end of the age unlocked" is a series of videos that I had done to get the message out please pass it around. God Bless you.

  • Question for Athiest.... I understand that you don't believe in God but what do you have against food storage? I'm just sayin......

  • remember rotaion rotation rotation. and stay away from white plastic milk jug type storage containers. have a video on that on my channel. They decompose in less than a year

  • Great stockpile! How long has it taken you to accumulate it? Thanks!

  • @pranksterguy1 I did that in about 18 months, though I am in the process of removing several items (i.e. eating them) and replacing them with healthier items. No sense in surviving if you've given yourself high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease in the process.

  • @veritasfiles Glad I read the comments was thinking as I was watching it man I see alot of salt in those stores.

  • @veritasfiles Excellent! I didn't see this post, and I went and rambled all over the place. LOL.....good job. Believe me, thats the best thing to do

  • Matthew 6:19, brother. If his eye is on the sparrow, and you are a true believer, then why are you so worried? For myself, I'd err on the side of caution. But I gotta wonder....

    Communications. Key to survival. Comms prepperations?

    Zonie out.

  • @erieeric what' s your problem ? Obviously you need a little fun and a few treats, why stop that just because it's for emergency ? Take a laxative--!

  • What is it with people who tell you what you can or should store.. if you want to store pickles and coke.. go for it.. You are a wise family and those who complain about what your storing probably don't have one thing stored!

  • I now understand why the Romans fed Christians to the lions. It's too bad that program was canceled due to budget cuts.

  • Prolly woulda been easier to buy-out a Costco store and just move in (LoL!).

  • I'd ditch the pickled cucumbers... they're delicious, but calorie and nutrient poor food. (diet coke too, of course) Dairy, Grains, Legumes, Seeds, Meat, Vegitables, Fats (esp. Saturated Fats, AKA lards, smultz, tallow, palm oil), Sugar, Chocolate, Salt are survival food. Every thing else is comfort food. Ditch the water... learn to make your own bleach, and filter/disinfect your own (look it up...)

  • @beretta4269 You've got to make certain sacrifices for those living with you. The pickles are actually already all gone. As for the Diet Coke, it's actually gone too. My wife has since switched to Kool-Aid. Hehehe... I will not be ditching the water. It's an important emergency tool to have on hand, regardless of whether one can make their own bleech and disinfect local water supplies.

  • @beretta4269 Oh don't be a spoil-sport, just because it's emergency food storage does not mean you can't have a few goodies like pickles. I plan to store candy. Hope that keeps you up at night......

  • Respond to this video... in a power-grid outage unless you have alternate cooking ability, the best stuff to have is food you don't have to cook { just saying },  but in general this video is a very good idea.

  • when your survival video transforms into a hilarious discussion on theology and how your imaginary friend will instigate a more advantageous apocalypse for you and your family than the scenarios people of a different theology might speculate, you then show your frightened child mentality. The bottom line is, whether it is rapture, zombies, worldwide nuclear exchange ect., Humans ( a inclusive classification that transcends all seemingly foolish beliefs) will need food, potable water, shelter..

  • It is not a christian thing. Germans have canned and stored food for centuries! Why must everything evolve around religion?

  • Dear brother yes we are to place security in our house. however we are not to defend ourselves with violence. Jesus states if someone slaps you, you are to turn your cheek. Jesus says Do NOT resist evil. We are to fast, pray and ask God for His divine protection. He will protect us from any adversary. Please read your Bible fast, pray and keep the sword away from your house.

  • @2012lavender The Big Guy actually says you must resist evil. Sure turn the other cheek I agree. However, you do have a moral duty to defend somebody(and with force) if necessary(and even take a life if necessary) to protect those who are weaker eg women, children, disabled. Chivalry is based upon this premise. Peace out.

  • kotex makes a good fire starter

  • I see there are lots of ATHIESTS posting here. SATAN is out in true form. God does and will always prevail. We ill live for eternity, not you. SATAN is loosed on the earth in the form of you ATHIESTS but will be bound for 1000 yrs before he is thrown tinto the LAKE OF FIRE for eternity and we will all be able to stand over it at any time and watch you knaw and scream for eternity to get out, but you had your chance sorry.

  • @patriotusa200 If you are in Heaven at the end of this existence, then I have to assume that you will be unable to take pleasure in the knawing and screaming of others. While they are receiving justice, I would probably err on the side of compassion and regret at their having been so obstinate so as to reject Christ eternally.

  • @veritasfiles You're right. A very small but important "blessing" God will bestow on us, is.....FORGETFULLNESS. We will remember/recognize people we knew, yet forget instances/times (for we will now be outside of time) "For all things have passed away, and are new"

  • The Bible says the Rapture will occur before the 7 year tribulation, then Satan is bound for 1000 yrs, then Jesus returns and creates a New Heaven and New Earth for Christians who made it in the Rapture and non-believers who turned to Jesus during the the 7 yr tribulation.

  • Similar to weeguymo, I worry about the end-of-time cults. There is no validation for bad behavior quite like religion & people that have delusional fantasies about magical creatures destroying the world are frightening.

    Prepping is one thing, but end-of-time cultists, often fantasize that the world needs to end for their fairy tale to come true... these people are very dangerous in disasters and can actively work against those administering help. Delusional beliefs & prepping are a bad combo.

  • @NurseMeister I'd love to respond to your comment, but since I can't tell what you're talking about, I'm not sure what to say. I don't believe I mentioned any end-of-time cults or any delusional beliefs. If you're declaring belief in God delusional, okay...I get that you disagree, but I would argue that such a belief is likely far less delusional than whatever worldview or system of beliefs you've put in its place. If you'd like to discuss it further, just let me know. Take care!

  • @veritasfiles You open and punctuate your discussion on food prepping with jesus-freak stuff. This type of behavior is indicative of individuals with left temporal lobe disorders. If you are prepping based on some all stories about invisible magicians casting spells and turning in to zombies after three days - then you are one of the end-of-time cultists.

    These religious freaks are the most frightening preppers because they start with delusions and proceed from that point forward.

  • @NurseMeister Sorry, but there is no "Jesus Freak Stuff" in my video. I do make it clear that I am a follower of Jesus Christ and discuss views that relate to that, but nothing you've talked about seems the least bit familiar, at least so far as my video is concerned. Magicians casting spells and zombies has little or nothing to do with anything I've said or Christianity in particular. As such, your reference to end-of-time cultists remains a complete mystery and nonsensical. CONT"D

  • @NurseMeister I prep because it would be imprudent or otherwise STUPID to do otherwise. When one sees a storm approaching on the horizon, wisdom dictates that you prepare for its arrival in order to mitigate its destructive affect. However, it is my Christian faith that strongly motivates me to attempt to put myself in a positive position at the end of the day to help others and have a positive impact on the world around me. If I can be used to extend mercy to another, then I think that's good.

  • @veritasfiles Well said. I too believe as you do. I do not ridicule those who do not believe as I do, yet so many responses to this mans video, somehow need to belittle me for what I believe. We shall see what we shall see. I will live my life looking forward to the Lords return, I will be prepared for difficult times, what ever form they shall be in and I will welcome anyone, believer or non-believer, with food, shelter or whatever i have to share if they need my help.

  • For nutritionally dense foods that maintain 95% of their nutritional value for 15 years go to 4longevity,myefoods.com. If you can afford the largest pkg. you will pay only $.91 per serving! The food is great and you can get free samples first to make sure you like it. best of luck to all.

  • wished not every one would mention there Religon. Religion is not everything in peoples live. We have stored food for century's. It is a safety net. We are Christians too, but preaching is not necessary. But the tips are helpfull.

  • We have 2 yrs of food stored now, and I used my Pressure canner for 8 months of meats and beef stew and chili I made in the canner, ate meat the other night from 1.5 yrs ago I canned, spouse loved it!! I am a vegeterian..we went to LDS 4 times thus far and have 400 lbs of wheat, too and I used my grinder and baked great bread and biscuits with the wheat!!

  • Didn't Jesus say, sell all your Stuff and Follow Him? You guys into Yahweh???? That Volcano God? Cause thats who you worship!

  • Didn't Jesus say, sell all your Stuff and Follow Him?

  • You need more Twinkies, brother.

  • i actually think we should store food to help our community. one way is storing of wheat, barely, lentils, and seasoning. have about 10,000 pounds of these seeds for human consumption and when the food shortage happens you community can be less effected by it. yes there will be some security issues and local government may decide to confiscate your resources thinking they can better manage these resources then you can, but that's just not true as can be seen now in the good times.

  • The Canned Tomatoes is a very bad Idea..  Lead Poisoning is very nasty thing to get when there are no doctors.

  • Personally, I think it's irrelevant to place religion aligned with survival. It's human nature to do what we need to prepare to survive. And it's also "being human" to help another human in need, you don't have to be a religious person of any faith to "be human"

  • how long can you store the pasta the way you have it stored?

    

  • While Christians pick nits over their petty differences in interpretation and practice, the powers against us don't make such distinctions. We need to start understanding this. Put aside our differences and start working together.

  • @Dustycajungurl hold up there your jumping the gun......i'm not saying christians are like anything or to ask what religion people are etc.i only ask't a qustion because i seen the the title of the video and too see how people would protect their supplys etc and no i would help anyone i don't care what people belief i see people as people and respect them and their wishes......

  • Where did you get the nice shelves?

  • are you crazy?

  • @XxXxXUnlimitedXxXxX If you are not preparing for what is happening, you are crazy. At the age of 29, you should be more than aware of what is going on around the world today. If nothing else, you should be able to see the prices rising in your locale grocery store. Good luck.

  • @Kashmir2000is well im only 14 Lol

  • @XxXxXUnlimitedXxXxX Your profile says 29. My youngest son is now 17 years old, at 14 he was becoming aware of what is going on. I am curious why you came to and watched this video. I am also interested in why, when you do not know what ones motives or thinking is, do you question the mental state of that person, rather than ask intellegent questions?

  • @Kashmir2000is Well, i made this account when i was about 12? and you had to be atleast 13 to create a account and... well..... i put my age over 18 because i wanted to watch adult things on youtube.....Lol.... well im not like that anymore after i got a girlfriend.... i found this video by typing 2012 Preparing Far Survival.... and i came out with this video.... i'm very interested in 2012 and stuff you see <.<

  • @XxXxXUnlimitedXxXxX Then your response to the person who made this video make even less sense then it did prior to your sharing your interest in 2012. Along with your search regarding 2012, my recommendation is to research Codex Alimentarious, the economy, Monsanto, Patriot Act, RFID, and Vaccinations, for starters. After, or during the learning processes, you will start to become "awake". During this time, I warn you, you will start to wonder if you are going crazy. Peace & Good luck.

  • @Kashmir2000is uhhh.... i think ill pass....

  • if the worst comes and you find a way to survive and to have enough resources for a small group of 100 people for a 4 to 9 years will you only let Christians join or would try to help anyone plus i'm not a religious person but if you came across me dying in worst possible way and where was a way to save me but with a side effect that i could endanger your group would you help me or blow my head were i lay dead and dying

  • @weeguymo I'm not sure what you're actually talking about? Since I cannot guarantee who is a Christian and who is not, I doubt there would be any good way to do such a thing. But why would you think so in general? And no, I would not murder a suffering person merely because they were not a Christian. That's a pretty crazy thoght, and probably says more about your feeling toward Christians than it does about anything I might do. Likely, I would do whatever was in my power to help you.

  • @veritasfiles i know my qestion was a bit eh diffrent....i swear i don't mean any disrepect or anything like that..i only ask't it because i ask't some other people the same qestion and about the safety of the supplies and they say'd yes i have to protect my supplies etc.....i'm not saying this to find out on who to ransack or anything what whatever people find or get etc belongs to them no matter what...... cheers for the reply

  • @veritasfiles ur a christian, that says it all.

  • @nepalihercules It might say it all, if everyone poured the same meaning into that term. I'm not convinced that everyone understand the term "Christian" in the same way, and so I'm doubtfult that it "says it all."

  • @veritasfiles christians = believing in god. amirite? that's all i need to know, don't care if you're radical or not.

  • @weeguymo When the collapse happens, religion will mean jack SHIT.

  • @TIKIMAN198 i know it will be everyman for theirself people killing people for a tin of bean's

  • @weeguymo i would cause you no harm give you some first aid or water and a little food and move on, why? you just said you would harm my group so taking you in would be harmful. i assure you that the little help i would render to your misfortune would be far more then you would give me in my misfortune.

  • @mechanicalbu11 you've got me all me all wrong if i see anyone in trouble i would help even if i have to use all my medical supplies on at person even if that person is dying i would still try to ease the pain the best that i can....if a person help't me out or even save my life then i o them and i always return favours

  • @weeguymo my apologies i misunderstood your comment, it's nice that you would help people. we humans need to keep our humanity despite the secular humanist agenda to spread mistrust and hate.

  • @mechanicalbu11 no need to apologize if anyone should apologize it should me i was to forceful with the comments everyone who has reply'd has had the same idea as you i should have put it in a nicer maner... people need to realize that everyone for thereself is not going to cut it if distaster strikes people always think of the worst and panic....you can overcome any problem if you stick together but a lot of people are blind to realize it thanks for the reply

  • @weeguy: Young man, you need to heed the warnings we have been receiving for many years & get going on your own food storage & emergency supplies. Don't be 1 of the "5 Foolish Virgins in the parable where they didn't put oil in their lamps or trim them...& consequently, they were shut out of the marriage supper-when the Bridegroom/the Saviour returned to take his ppl to heaven. Don't procrastinate any longer...start storing for any kind of emergency...how many folks YOU can help if need be.

  • @Yunginspirit i don't i believe in every warnings i hear but i do think about from time to time and just in case i have supplies in case of an emergency nothing fancy but enough to keep a small group going for a while... i have planed as much as i can i have even got area's marked out to go or not to go it depends on the situation..i want to save as many people as possible that just who i am and if the worse does come if i can't keep order i have countermeasures

  • @weeguymo: Well good for you. I'm glad to know that you are being prepared for emergencies if and when they may occur. I guess I was a bit heavy on you. LOL! Keep it up!

    Cheers.

    Keriama

  • You got some serious food stocks!!!!!

  • It is great that you are getting ready, don't stop. You need garden seeds and more food. It will get to the point you will not be able to buy food again. We need to be able to provide for our family and those around us, family first. I purchased some 45 pounds of seeds for sprouting beans. Just a few seeds lots of food. They are good for you. I have about two years worth of food and will double it this year. Why would I do this, I answer becasue God does not Lie and I have faith. God Bless

  • if it is gods will that i die by the hands of my enimes..so be it...but i will not die without a fight...awsome vid..gotta to watchthe next one

  • Nice stash of food. We just recently started adding beans that can be sprouted. They are cheap and provide all you vitamins and nutrients that buying bottled vitamins can. 1 teaspoon of Mung beans take 4 days to sprout and are fantastic for your vitamins and taste wonderful. They are great! If I may, watch the products that contain aspartaime. This is a poison and will get you and your family in the end. Diet anything is terrible. God bless you brother. Keep up the good work!

  • lol this is to weird imma have to make a vid of my food storage its almost exactly the same exepct i have 600 mre's from an army auction but dude it to weird lol how they look the same

  • @with33 You must be writing me from a parallel universe. No MRE's on my side. Just about 600 Mountain House Meals stuff into about 10+ tubs.

  • @veritasfiles thats why i said exept i was very high when i wrote the comment so i misspelled a little lol

    but almost the same exept the mre's i never have liked mountain house not to mention there kinda costly at the store who sells them here

  • @with33 I know........I got it.

  • i love diet coke and can not foresee a world without it. bastards

  • @nhatt6 Thanks for the support.  Hehehe...

  • @veritasfiles I dont like christians at all but most see that shit is about to hit the fan jesus would of wanted you to know the knowledge of the self by partaking in the holy mushroom experience, it is the flesh of god and boiled in water is the blood, only dumb fuck idiots think bread and wine are what jebus ate at the last dinner.

  • @OGdank13 Um, what does any of that have to do with my video?

  • I hope you have a garden and some chickee chickees...lol.You have a nice compilation of foods and such. To be honest, I believe most Christians are just too wrapped up in the material world to even have a clue as to how they should be conducting themselves. The days are growing far too short to not be doing things to prepare for massive inflation and a myriad of other events, yet unknown. You can keep the Spam and Diet Cokes...haha. Good luck to you and yours...dont forget the can opener!..DOH!

  • @thedoctorisin24380 Well, the fact is, if we are wise, we don't apply this same logic to the rest of life. We don't say, life is just too short for me to bother maintaining my car. Usually we try to respond well to reality and do what is necessary to avoid or mitigate the negative effects of reality. This is why we maintain our cars, we go to the grocery store, we spend money educating ourselves, etc... Prepping in a reasonable way is no different.

  • sweet vids man,y does your wife like to drink poison(aspartame) diet coke,i would do some research on that and y rumsfeld go it passed by the fda,i was addicted to diet pepsi,now i know why and id rather drink 100 calories than die from poisioning.

  • Recommend research utube on "Adya clarity," magnetic sulphate minerals. Add drops to your water, leave overnight. Heavy metals stay on bottom. Pour top of leave rest behind. Benefical aide for alkalizing human anatomy ph. Glad to hear you have alternate source. Peace, tranqulity, blessings.

  • Recommendation: Up your water supply to 6 plus months on hand. Invest in a Berkey water purification system. Bottled water is not regulated verses city tap water. Consider an Excalibur dehydrator.. Beef Jerky, dried potatoes, endless possibilite. Bulk up, beans, rice, longer than 6 months. Buy dried whole eggs. Have enjoyed your videos from the start, prepped same time. Prudence verses chaos.

  • @bellaray1 Those are all good suggestions. I will say that most bottled water is simply tap water. I have a creek in my back yard and I'm less than a mile away from a small river tributary. I'm not as concerned about water, as I am about food. I do have several different filters though. My next step is to buy some higher quality hiking water filters like the Katadyn Hiker Pro, but I'll be looking into the rest as I have time & money. Keep up the good work.

  • Looks good. Hey what kind of storage bins are those that you have your dry stuff in?

    Also ,I'm not Christian myself , but my sister her husband and son all of whom I love dearly don't think that this is worth doing. Any suggestions?

  • Looks good. Hey what kind of storage bins are those that you have your dry stuff in?

  • @Dustycajungurl Absolutely he cares what we put into our souls (hearts) but he also gave us a brain to use to be careful as to what we put into our bodies.....THAT'S my whole point here! ;-)

  • Using about $40 to $60 a month, it was only about a year. I'm shifting my current food supply into something more long-term and sustainable. In other words, I'm focusing less on canned foods, and more on things like lentils, beans, nuts, camping meals, etc... So I'm moving away from such a heavy emphasis on canned beef, SPAM, corned beef hash, and a few other things. I'll probably still keep most of the Tuna, Salmon, Chicken, Tomatoes, and Fruit......but just shifting to less unhealthy.

  • @Dustycajungurl WHERE am I judging anybody? Warning them about the dangers of a harmful chemical is judging? Comparing using this (or any) harmful chemcal with smoking or drinking is judging? My point here is to warn people about something most folks know little about...and wondering WHY the owner of this site is advertising a product with this chemical when he KNOWS what it will do to people. I'm not judging anybody for USING it.....that's a CHOICE they make (just like smoking or drinking).

  • @Dustycajungurl Stop drinking water? We live in the country and have our own well that's been tested for purity....we also have a water purifier connected to it too. We're also very careful about the foods we purchase.....aren't you? It's called being "prudent".

    (You can get a water purifier for your city water).

    God "judge" us for it? Is that the argument you'd use for smoking, drinking or doing drugs? Is that really the point here? You can deal with that when "your time" comes...

  • @Dustycajungurl It's surprising how many people DON'T know.... You know and go on doing it anyway???

    Hmmmm.......do you smoke and drink too? That's a choice isn't it??

  • It's simple, if YOU don't want to drink diet drinks DON'T.

  • @TexasScout I couldn't agree more!

  • @eyewarnedyou I've been watching this thread and reading his "arguments" for the past couple days. Give it up. it's not worth your time. I've tried too, but he still defends advertising this harmful chemical he claims to know about.

    Using it is one thing, but advertising/promoting it is quite another. I'm done!

  • @eyewarnedyou ... cutting out bad things that you've previously consumed on a regular basis, but it is also possible that it won't. Not every Christian will be convicted that cigarettes, aspertame, or any other particular substance that is not directly commanded against is a sin which will make himself or anyone else stumble. In those cases, you need to leave those issues in their appropriate place (i.e. between the person and the Holy Spirit). This is a concept called Christian liberty. CONT'D

  • @veritasfiles Tell you what........you go on sipping your Diet products with Aspertame, KNOWING what it will do to you (and everybody else who uses it). That's your "choice" as you put it!

    But do the readers a favor and let them know what it can do to THEM!

    You are actually PROMOTING that product and chemical by focusing and commenting on it in your video......

    That makes you more than just a USER, doesn't it?

  • @eyewarnedyou I don't know how I can say it anymore clearly, but THESE ARE ISSUES OF INDIVIDUAL CONVICTION! I do not begrudge your opportunity to share your point of view and encourage your fellow believers or countrymen, but I am not required to allow my channel to become venue for your brand of legalism. We are saved by faith...not works of the flesh, including those that protect the temple of the Holy Spirit. Please stop dragging the name of Christ through the mud, especially on my channel!

  • @eyewarnedyou Your behavior, as well as that of CJurasin make me ashamed of the body of Christ. While you appear well meaning, you raise issues of individual conviction to the level of direct moral commands of God (i.e. adultery, murder, idolatry, etc...). And you may equate this with a direct command of God, but as I've said, there is little that you can do or consume that can't be found to violate the admonition to care for your body (the temple of the Holy Spirit). CONT'D

  • @eyewarnedyou ... Once you've given your warming and/or information, people must obey their conscience. It is not your job to convict people of sin. That is between the person and the Holy Spirit. You will not go to Hell for smoking cigarettes, though it may well be a sin to smoke them. You go to Hell becase you are a sinner who is in need of God's rescue through Jesus Christ. Your individual sanctification or process of growth in holiness may well include ... CONT'D

  • @eyewarnedyou ...you could just as well talk about eating a diet high in processed foods, consuming BPA through the use of plastic bottles, being around second-hand smoke, eating large amounts of red meat, failure to get appropriate exercise, excerising your body too much...to the point of damage, etc... My point is that the truthfulness of your statement is objective in nature, but the individual application of that truth is subject or otherwise up to the individuals conscience. ... CONT'D

  • @eyewarnedyou If they stop consuming aspertame on the basis of your warning, then so be it. That is a great choice that comports with their conscience. If they have not chosen to do so, then that is up to them and is between them and the Lord. Not consuming aspertame is not a commandment, and there is precious little that you can do or consume that does not have some deleterious effects upon your body. That is precisely why I brought up driving a car, but ... CONT'D

  • @eyewarnedyou OK, now you're just lying. I am in agreement with you on the similarity between the injesting of aspertame and other harmful substances, which is why I said that I didn't object to the point you made. However, that is not the locus of the disagreement that I've had with both CJurasin and yourself. My disagreement with you has to do with your attempting to act as the conscience of others after your point of view has been shared. CONT'D

  • @eyewarnedyou You can only warn on the basis of judgement. And the chapter is not merely about judging either. Keep reading...you'll get it eventually.

  • @eyewarnedyou No, you're the one actually missing the point. I don't object to the point you're making at all. My objection has to do with not accepting that everyone does not hold your precise point of view and that it is inappropriate in those circumstances for you to continue badgering anyone in an attempt to be their conscience for them. That is my major objection. I am arguing about conscience not about whether aspertame is good or bad. Let it go...

  • @eyewarnedyou If the only siginificant point you're making is that aspertame consumption is far more of an optional choice than driving, I would generally agree with you, but that doesn't change the nature of the point, as driving is BY FAR more hazardous than consuming typical amounts of aspertame. I suggest you make your choice and allow me to make mine. Attempting to intrude upon my conscience becuase I've failed to acquiesce to your argument or that of someone else just isn't appropriate.

  • @eyewarnedyou No, I'm defending individual liberty and freedom of conscience, which you apparently don't believe in. And please don't try to pretend that your car is a necessity. That's not true. The fact is, you've built your life around the car so that its harder for you to tell the difference between a want and a need. I could reduce my lifestyle, get a job within 2 miles of my home, and go without a car. Most of us could, if we really decided that we didn't want to take the risk of driving.

  • @eyewarnedyou Quoting Bible verses as a pretext to support your own view rather than the view of the BIble itself with regard to conscience isn't going to help you. It only digs the hole deeper. I suggest you read Romans 14 and then get back to me when you've come to an appropriate understanding. You might also want to become clear on what a conscience is and the fact that it involves the free choices of individuals......not another's choices over their own.

  • @eyewarnedyou Paul Revere didn't stop and argue with those who didn't believe him. At least I'm not aware of it. I agree with Proverbs 22:3, but I can almost guarantee that CJurasin has decided to still drive his vehicle, despite its statistically superior deadily hazard rating over aspertame. I would suggest the same is true of you. The truth is, people need to know what is true and then decide for themselves whether they are willing or unwilling to take the risks involved. FOR THEMSELVES!

  • @eyewarnedyou This is not something he is/was willing to do. In this sense, he went far beyond merely warning people about his particular soapbox issue. And yes, when you cannot let it go and you find it necessary to argue with someone about the appropriateness of doing any number of things that may indeed be harmful to themselves, you are attempting to take the place of their coscience and make the "ought" decisions about their behavior for them. This is wrong whether you realize it or not.

  • @eyewarnedyou If you don't see where he's trying to be anyone's conscience, then I would wonder if you knwo what a conscience is. It is one thing to warn people about something. It is another to argue with them about whether they accept the veracity of his "OUGHTS". As I've stated, driving my car is far more hazardous than having a Diet Coke, but I would not argue with someone until they gave up driving, even if I thought they ought to. I would warn them & allow them to make their own decision.

  • @eyewarnedyou No, I continue to read on that subject as well as others. However, when someone attempts to be my conscience for me and cannot let it go, my mind is made up that this is not a person with which it is helpful to engage. Nor am I obliged to let him use the comments section of my channel to speak to other people on the same topic and attempt to be their conscience as well. I wish you and he both well in your pursuits. Thanks.

  • @eyewarnedyou I don't deny anything you're saying, but as I've said, this goes for every other damaging product or circumstance that we encounter. As I said, driving your car is far more hazardous to your health than aspertame, as it sun exposure without proper precautions. My other point to CJ was that making his comment is certainly fine, but once someone is not interested, he should move on. Trying to be my conscience for me will do no one any good and damages the likelihood of his success.

  • You're saving DIET COKE??? Have you read about "Aspertame Disease"???

    LOOK at the ingredients of most Diet products and if you read Aspertame on them you are in for BIG TROUBLE!!! Don't believe me??? Google "Aspertame Disease" and LEARN ALOT!!!!! Aspertame is an artificial sweetener that is a dangerous CHEMICAL......

  • @CJurasin Yes, I know it's not good for you, and most Americans have had so much of it that they should all be dead by the time they're 30......if "ALL" of the hype around aspterame is true. But no, the Diet Coke is for my wife.

  • @veritasfiles Yes, you did said it was for your wife, but any brother in Christ is going to watch out for his wife because Biblicaly we are "one in the flesh" with our spouses and are responsible for taking care of them.... PLEASE do yourself (and her) a BIG favor and Google Aspertame Disease.....there are THOUSANDS of links all supporting the same thing......it ISN'T "hype" it's true!! The sooner people LEARN about that garbage and get off it, the better for them.

  • @CJurasin Let's not strain at gnats and swallow camels here. Being out in the sun too much for you is bad, drinking from plastic containers is bad. Most of the food you eat has been nutritionally and chemically compromised. Any medications you take OTC or prescribed have harmful side-effects, some of with are cumulative. If I were you, I'd focus on exhorting myself and otherwise toward righteousness rather than pointing out your objection to their choice to consume some amount of aspertame.

  • @veritasfiles NOTHING you mentioned compares with Aspertames effect on so many people to such a degree. I'm simply trying to warn you and anybody else who reads this what it is doing to you......if you go on using it, it's "on you" now that you know (or did you bother Googling it?). What I was expecting was "thanks Brother for the warning because I had no idea as to what Aspertame is, nor what it's doing to us". It's hard to "obey your consience" on something if you haven't examined it....

  • @CJurasin Actually that's not true. Do you know how many people die from skin cancer each year? It normally runs between seven to ten thousand. Do you know anyone who's death is directly attributable to aspertame? If so, how many? The information you've talked about is well known and has been for years. Warning me about aspertame is like warning me about not wearing a seat belt. I'd have thought more of your comment if you didn't insist on trying to act as my conscience and violating my liberty.

  • @veritasfiles Skin cancer? You're talking about something we have little control over while I'm talking about something we have ABSOLUTE control over. You've READ what Aspertame is, you KNOW what it can do to you (DOZENS of related symptoms) and STILL you want to minimize it? Anybody who KNOWS that something is bad for them and CHOOSES to continue doing it anyway is not being wise. "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer" Prov. 22:3

  • @CJurasin Actually, I tend to choose the amount of time I'm exposed to the sun, I choose the kind of clothing that I wear, I decide whether or not to wear a hat, sun glasses, and/or sun screen. If you call that "little control", then I don't have any idea what "ABSOLUTE control" would look like. I'm not interested in arguing the issue. You've told me, and I've said thanks but no thanks to your preaching to me about the dangers of aspertame. Be decent and leave it there.

  • @veritasfiles You're forgetting the MANY people who may read this that have NO idea about Aspertame and what it can do to them. I'd rather be told about something and make an educated decision than NOT know and make a mistake. It's called prudence.....and good "stewardship" of the body the Lord has given us. Ignorance may be "bliss" but I'd rather be one of the informed. If even ONE person takes heed to the Aspertame warning, then that's a GOOD thing.....

  • @CJurasin No, I'm not. You may tell whomever you wish, but I am not obligated to allow you to use the comments section of my videos to purvey a message with which I am in disagreement. In order to make an educated decision, people need to know something, not simply be told something. In short, they should do their own research. Ignorance is bliss, but such a slogan doesn't apply to me since I'm not ignorant reagrding the topic. I am however done with our conversation.

  • @veritasfiles You need to RE-READ what I said. You said that you've read about it (so you're not ignorant of the subject)....I said "the MANY people WHO have NO idea about Aspertame". Those people are "ignorant" (true meaning of the word) of what Aspertame is and what it can do to them! You commented on and even zoomed in on your Diet Coke stash on your video and are therefore condoning it! If I were condoning something that could hurt people, I'd sure like to know about it. But not you??

  • @CJurasin No I do not. I read what you said, but perhaps you missed my comments. You are talking to me, and I am done with your message. In addition, you are using my channel & comments section to purvey your message. If you'd like to talk to those who are ignorant about the subject, then do so on your own channel. Merely because it's your soapbox issues doesn't mean that I am obligated to let you air it here. Thank you.

  • @CJurasin Yes, I know a good deal about aspertame, as well as many other products that I've already mentioned that have damaging long-term effects. If I become militant about aspertame, then I need to be consistent and stop using and doing many of the things I do in my life. They are all hazardous to varying degrees, some much more than aspertame. Driving for example, is far more dangerous and detrimental to your health than aspertame. Again, stop straining at gnats and swallowig camels!

  • @CJurasin With all due respect, and I mean this sincerely. There is a difference between prudence and overkill or stupidity. If your conscience tells you to not use aspertame, then please be my guest. However, please do not attempt to be my conscience. That is not your prerogative, and as a Christian, you should know that your kind of weak conscience legalism is very much frowned upon.  Read Romans 14.

  • @CJurasin In other words, i will objey my conscience and you should obey yours'. Unless I am violating an explicity command of scripture into which the consumption of anything harmful "CERTAINLY" rather than "probablistically" falls, then please read Matthew 7:3-5. This is not a call to not judge, but it is a call to judge rightly. In this case, you're stepping over the line and attempting to be my conscience in an inappropriate area that is covered by Christian liberty.

  • Cool, you got lost of stuff built up!! I got about that same amount of food built up (actually a little more) in 3 months for probably about 80% off the retail prices using coupons. For instance Cambells Cream of Mushroom soup is on sale at Kroger for 49 cents a can when you buy 10. Coupon for 1.50 off 3 cans, made a bunch free and then $1 off 4, made them 29 cents a can. Tuna can be had for free, both pouch version and canned. Personal care products for free. Look into it.

  • Are those the light duty Gorilla racks? Thats what I got, not sure if they will support the weight of many cans, will they?

  • @whittle4u Yeah, they will support a great deal of weight. I th ink the smaller racks are rated to 1,000lbs. or just under and the larger rack I have in the other part of my basement will support even more. You can see how full mine are and they aren't having any trouble supporting the weight. I don't remember the brand, but they were purchased from Lowes.

  • Responders focus on their hatred of the "Christian Church" and miss the point you are trying to make, When God allowed Joseph to be sold by his brothers into slavery, it was for the purpose of keeping Egypt and other nations from starving in an upcoming 7 year famine. The Bible predicts hard times ahead, especially famine. Joseph had Egypt prepare for the famine by storing food. He has told us of upcoming famine even here in the US. So why not prepare? Better that than starve or thirst to death.

  • "genetic predispositions exist and environmental factors"??? but yet you still think its a sin. wow. what an ignorant idiot. you know the church locked up galileo and burnt many others until finally they had no choice but to give in to the rational scientific evidence. good luck when we finally explain homosexuality. you will all have to back track yet again. and move your evil goal posts

  • @gavinsstuff Yes, if you are a creature who makes free choices, then absolutely. Perhaps you think that your body or genes drive you and that you're unable to control any of your impulses and desires. The Bible assumes that, in general, you do have some basic control over your behavior and make free choices for which you can legitimately be held accountable. This is true even if there are genetic predispositions and environmental factors. SURPRISE!!! CONT'D

  • @gavinsstuff Human beings have sexual desires, yet we are morally and legally obliged to control them or express them only in appropriate contexts. For example, you cannot rape anyone you happen to find attractive. That's a legal contraint on sexual behavior. The practice of homosexual sex is a moral rather than a legal restraint on sexual behavior, and these kinds of restraints are legitimate even if their are genetic predispositions and environmental factors, so long as you are making choices.

  • @gavinsstuff Actually, Galileo was placed under house arrest in a palace, and that was limited in duration. In addition, his strongest supporters were Christians, though you are right, the head of the Catholic Church came out against him. That was less based on the science and more because he was defying Papal authority. Since I'm a Protestant, this doesn't strike me as problematic for me. Homosexuality is already understood to a great degree, though more work still needs to be done. CONT'D

  • @gavinsstuff The unfortunate side of the scientific debate and evidence regarding homosexuality is that it supports my view more than it does yours'. That will not cause the world to adopt any kind of Christian or religious worldview, but it is clear that sexual behavior itself is chosen, and that homosexuality is a pathological aberration rather than a legitimate or natural expression of sexual desire.  Keep reading though.

  • @veritasfiles trust me science doesnt support your arguement. you are deluded. i wonder how old you think the earth and universe is. are you one of those mental christians that says 6000 years as opposed to 14 billion. even though we can see light from galaxies that arent there anymore. if only these retards knew about SCIENCE and speed of light etc. do the math and then go look at rock strata and dino dna. wow christians are insane (no i apologise... just uneducated cave men)

  • drink the juice and ride the commet!

  • the bible? you mean the same book that hates homosexuals and discriminates against pretty much everyone else. can i join your club

  • @gavinsstuff It's not clear to me that a book can hate anything or anyone, though I do admit that the BIble declares homosexuality to be a sin, as well as various other behaviors. And yes, in life one does have to discriminate between good and bad choices, which an informed knwoledge of the Bible would help you do, but I have no reason to believe you're interested in joining anything. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to Private Message me. I'd be happy to discuss your objections.

  • @veritasfiles homosexuality isnt a choice. have you ever bothered to ask a gay person if its a fucking choice. people commit suicide because society cant accept them. now you just keep believing the evil bible if you wish. and go stone a gay to death and discriminate against them for being born that way. what a horrible evil book.

  • @gavinsstuff Homosexual behavior is a choice, just like heterosexual behavior. No informed person would say otherwise. Saying so is not the same as claiming that the feelings or attractions are chosen. Those are generally the result of a difficulty or failure to identify with the male figure at a critical juncture in life, though there are other avenues by which homosexual or gender identity issues can arise. People commit suicide because they are suffering and need help. CONT'D

  • @gavinsstuff I don't have any problem accepting someone who struggles with sin. I struggle with sin as well. And of course, no one is calling for anyone to be stoned. This is something you're reading into my comments. The book itself is not evil. It is your rebellion against God that is an expression of evil. In any case, God loves you just like he does me, and you can either make good choices or not. It's up to you.

  • @veritasfiles sorry are you an idiot? do you actually believe homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. you christians make me sick. oh and its very good of you to "accept" the sinning gays. very big of you. its genetic, deal with it

  • @gavinsstuff I think you should be asking yourself that question. All voluntary behavior is chosen, so yes, the sexual behavior itself would be a lifestyle choice. However, as I said, the feelings/attractions are not chosen. Homosexuality is certainly influenced by genetic factors, but saying "its genetic deal with it" is simply a response of ignorance. Simply because something in genetic doesn't mean that it's alright or acceptable. That's why we treat genetic disorders all the time.

  • @gavinsstuff Regarding accepting "the sinning gays", I will repeat that I said I have no problem accepting sinners like myself. If you think it's horrible that I'm accepting of imperfect people just like me, I suppose that's up to you.

  • @veritasfiles "imperfect" whats imperfect about a gay person. seriously who do you think you are. you christians know nothing about genetics quite obviously. yeh maybe you are right, people just wake up one day and say"oh i think il be gay today" wise up. i dont care how mild it is, but you`re attitude is discriminatory. thats the thing about religious, they hide their bigoted hatred behind a nice smile and "hate the sin not the sinner"

  • @gavinsstuff I know that Dr. Dean Hamer (a gay geneticist) and others have stated that homosexuality is not dictated by the genetic code. I know that. And what's imperfect about a gay person is the same thing that's not perfect about me. I'm imperfect and I do things that are wrong. It's a universal human experience. No one wakes up and decides to be gay today, however they do have to make a choice to have sexual contact with someone of the same gender. CONT'D

  • @gavinsstuff You're quite right, my attitude is discriminate. I use it to discriminate between right and wrong behavior. I'm not always successful, but I continue to try to get better at it. No one is hiding any hatred because there is none. Disagreement doesn't equate to hatred. Saying otherwise is simply dishonest. A Christian simply wants to to take part in the rescue God has provided through Jesus Christ. They have no desire to hate anyone.

  • @veritasfiles right and wrong?? so gays are wrong even though they are born that way? one question...what study have you done into the latest genetic and molecular studies of homosexuality and the links to testosterone levels the foetus is exposed to, no i didnt think so. at least the taliban have the decency to drag gays into the street and behead them. and not hide behind a loving christian smile. i give up on you people. i have nothing more to say

  • @gavinsstuff People are born with propensities for all kinds of things, including things like addictions, and yes....addictions are bad things, even though they were born with the propensity. But homosexuality itself is developmental from a very early age, and so it often seems as though it's always been that way. CONT'D

  • @gavinsstuff With regard to studies, I will quote from a paper by N.E. Whitehead, Ph.D. on one of the latest twin studies that confirm a genetic contribution to same-sex attractions. He says, "Does this latest study teach us something new? Quick answer: No. It confirms the best recent studies, which tell us that genetic factors are minor; non-genetic factors are major." So it's not that genetics don't play a role, but they are not the whole show. There is far more to the issue than mere genes.

  • @gavinsstuff I would also add that your attempt to buffalo me by talking about "the...genetic and molecular studies of homosexuality and the links to testosterone levels..." will fail. I am not unstudied or uninformed on the issues at play. If you think it's decent for people to cut the heads off of gays, that's your business. I think that's ghastly and immoral. Christians are not hiding behind any smiles. We are perfectly happy to share our beliefs and offer any help and support.

  • @gavinsstuff The idea that you'd rather have someone cut your head off probably says far more about you than it does about me. If you ever want to actually discuss any of the issues you've raised, feel free to PM. Until then, take care!
