WHERE I BELONG (Clip)

It was a dramatic year for Arinze Eze -- in love, work, even family -- and our cameras were with him for the entire journey.

Raised in Nigeria but born in Canada, Arinze Eze has always struggled to find a place of belonging. At age 21, nearly two decades after leaving Canada, he returned to his birthplace, an unfamiliar, snow-laden country. It was one of the coldest winters on record, and the people Arinze's family had arranged for him to stay with turned him away at the door. His education as an engineer was meaningless in Canada, and he was unable to find the lucrative job that was supposed to help him send riches back to his family in Africa.

Nine years later, he seems settled as a Canadian; he has re-invented himself as a talented painter, musician and filmmaker, and has fallen in love with a beautiful, charming Canadian woman.

Arinze's family still doesn't know about Tina - even though the couple has been together five years - or of their son's career in the arts. He feels the best way to help them understand his choices is to show them his new life in person. He arranges for them to visit. Arinze and Tina busy themselves with preparations, excited and more than a little nervous. Pressure and stress weigh on the relationship, and as Arinze fights with authorities to get temporary visas for his parents, his relationship begins to crumble -- right in front of the cameras.

Awkwardly negotiating the world of his parents' traditions and the demands of his relationship, Arinze searches for a middle ground. But when his born-again Christian mother and Jewish girlfriend find a common bond in their love for Arinze, he begins to see that maybe there is a way for him to belong to both worlds.

If the issue is truly with what Jesus said about Himself message me, but for most it is an issue of the heart. Our hearts are wicked and hate anything of God. We have to repent before God and humble ourselves, this is why most people don't believe in Jesus, not because of lack of evidence, but because following Him requires turning from evil & turning to Him for everything. He is waiting for us to return to Him so we can be adopted into the family of God. God is love, as He showed by his death.

show them all the prophecy fulfilled in Jesus which is in Psalms, Isaiah and others (ie. virgin birth, casting lots for cloths, hung on a tree)

[HezUhlive22]

John 8:23 (Jesus talking to the pharisees)But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be,[a] you will indeed die in your sins."

58Jesus said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.

Do you understand the implications of what He is saying. He is telling the pharisees He is God. Do you read the bible much?

[HezUhlive22]

you are so wrong my friend...He said John 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.(Jesus) He was not merely a man.

Luke 6:5 The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

Please write me back for more on this. Jesus did say He was God. He didn't walk around saying I'm God I'm God. He proved it instead. Don't believe everything you hear, search it out to find the truth.

why?
