An abstract interpretation of the fall of man that ends right at the moment where man and woman eat from the tree. This video is open-ended and invites you to take the story in whichever direction you want. The video could lead into an event like Christmas or Easter, or it could intro the topic of sin or salvation. Be creative and see where it takes you.
Love your awesome videos. God bless you with more creative ideas for His glory. Shalom

@chesster423 And this passage might briefly explain to you why the second coming hasn't happened:
2 Peter Chapter 3
8. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
tldr; God is merciful and is giving us time to accept him

@chesster423 Well, I'll be honest with you. Even if God told every Christian tonight that heaven wasn't going to happen, I wouldn't give up on the Christian way of living. Why? Because I've found that freedom from sin feels so much more liberating than freedom to do what you want does. I guess that's what I meant about the Spirit of God resting in Christians - it's a token of his faithfulness that he's going to work wonders in our life despite the hardships, and then let us be with him forever

It's a false promise(s) of Christ(eternal life). 2011 years has passed already, no 2nd coming, no rapture, if there is, Christians should stop renovating their churches. It's a waste of money, better help the poor.
"Accept Jesus and you will be saved" means you will not live a hell of a life if you follow his ways not by being saved from an after death torment which is completely nonsense, a fear inflicting story to gain money.
Religions, Schools, Charities need MONEY. Business.....

@chesster423 Actually, your idea about everything being a part of God is a belief of Hinduism. They say that we are all part of God, like a drop in the ocean, and so is everything around us.
Well Jesus makes it pretty clear that we can expect an afterlife. He says that the Holy Spirit will rest in us as proof that God's promise of saving us exists, so we can be reassured that heaven is waiting for us.
Well, that's a good idea, but I don't think anyone can truly have that heavenly life on earth

I was always thinking 'bout that. Hell and Heaven are just state of life, not an afterlife as what most deluded Christians believed. Hell means a life full of misery, despair, suffering, hatred, curse, etc. Heaven means joy, hope, forgiveness, love, blissful life. There are just some of these dumb organization who deludes the mind of the weak. If you would ask what is God in my opinion, for me, God is us. We are the center of everything, we control ourselves not by a supreme being.

@chesster423 hi
I think you might have got the idea of hell a bit mixed up, saying that God WANTS us to burn and be tormented. If you'd like, have a look at this short video explaining it and see if you still have the same opinion ok?

God the Creator/Punishment wants us to burn in hell because of our imperfections. But because he love us so much, Jesus sacrificed himself for us to be saved. I don't need God's Heaven, I didn't want anyone to die because of my mistakes. All I want is this life to be the most greatest life I ever had. No threats of hell, no dictations of my acts, no guilt upon my self, and live the reality.
I'm not greedy for immortality(eternal life), I'm just a mere mortal who will die someday.

@chesster423 - Jesus gave his Life for you man. He died for you, when he was on that cross he was thinking of you. and everyone else. He did it because he loves you, even though we all sin. If we saay " i don't sin" then we are calling god a liar. He abondoned, he was hurt, FOR US. But, i respect you. So i respect your opinion.

If you believe in that story, then I'm sorry. Why did God gave his only son? If he is God, he can save us anytime he want(no more blood offering). But no, he didn't... because all of those stories are just fallacies. Man-made stories.
I'm glad someone paid for our sins(if that's true). I cannot imagine a world without a single sin. That's boring. I'm just so happy right now, I'm not anymore concerned that anyone would go to hell or heaven, those places are not true :D man-made
