A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

can you cite your claims? you talk about "in the old testament" and stuff. I'd like to see them referenced

[XoTiKaSweety389]

Come quickly. I want your companionship.

[camNfamILY]

woah, the subtitles are sooo wrong

[galindo stephen]

rock on, speaker man, rock on.

[YESHUA2OR1]

Where does he say this?

[YESHUA2OR1]

I'm sorry, who was Luke? An apostle? A disciple? Neither. His gospel can be thrown out along with the trinity idea. Matthew was an eyewitness, Luke was not. And Jesus was the physical son of Joseph, even Philip says so, another eyewitness. Ever read his gospel?

[Thesortvokter]

By "God" [eh], you're right....

[LBell2400]

This video makes sense, but Jesus is a dick anyway, so it doesn't matter. Why is Jesus a dick. Anyone who says that I should love them more than I love my mother or father, even though I've never met them, or I will burn eternally in hell, is a dick.

[Allfor Hisglory]

You saw the title, you don't believe in God, and yet you still came here. It's because deep down you're looking for love and know that God is the only One who will love you unconditionally. Keep searching. God bless you.
