Very true!! Hahah!!! Awesome!!

Tit Bob this is very true, you gotta prove it

Tit Bob or getting it the car with no keys

You're correct. What makes a person a Christian is when they accept Jesus as their lord and Savior. Once a person follows Jesus, he is a Christian.

Tit Bob thank you captain obvious.

im actually american silly Texas raised

harlengabriel Christianity isn't a European religion silly troll. :P

Niko Williams Not at all!! It's a fun thing and (most important) it is good for humanity.

tell that to Stalin and Pol Pot. Those guys loved the atheist idea... I think their followers did too?

Niko Williams Are you asking or are you suggesting? Or are you implicitly ask for grammar help? Anyway, atheism did never led people to crime. Ideology did. Atheism does not imply any ideology, only the lack of a particular belief. I don't see the connection. However, this does not mean atheists do not commit crimes. The point is that there is absolutely no connection between crime and atheism.

So true sorry for your loss, and its not even biblically sound that people become angels, we are ranked higher than angels in heaven so its almost insulting lol but God bless you.

So true!! We don’t just magically turn into angels! Your son is in God’s glory filled Kingdom and that’s indeed where Christians can find comfort in knowing our loved ones are truly in a better place and we will be reunited. Prayers for you and your wife! 💙

Amen! And God bless you!

"God needed another angel? " Mehnnn that's so wrong. How do people come up with that? SMH🤦

I hate reading that in comments. When people say that phrase. Children who died, don’t become Angels. God already made the Angels before humans were ever made.

Lexie Jordan this is more accurate, but probably worse to say when someone is grieving. No one wants to hear that something good is going to come out of their son's death for instance

Lexie Jordan when it's not forced lol

It may be better to just admit you don't know what to say but that you're willing to trust God in prayer with them through the difficult situation! That's ok to say too!

I like that. Need to start saying it.

Lexie Jordan not all the time

Well it's doing quite the opposite! Seeing you atheist on here is like seeing a dirty rag hit contact with bleach. Just something about it makes me feel like there is hope and some ppl are literally right in reach.

HughJax....I didn't read very much of your comment. You give me a chuckle and I get a kick out of seeing all you atheist on here because its funny how it's Atheist who complain of the proselytizers sticking their religion down everybody it's throat, but here you all are ON A CHRISTIAN VIDEO where no human probably invited you. Maybe it's the Holy Spirit pushing you to come here because your not sure about what you believe. But I'll just say, thank you for visiting the video. The more viewer counts it has the more attention it will get. God bless and I hope you find truth. Genuinely, I do. You're never too far away to to turn back. You're never too dirty to ever be clean again by his grace.

HughJaxident67 I did have one question. Honest question. No tricks here. Why is it that a lot of atheist seem so driven to disprove things that don't matter to them either way? If you can be atheist why can't people be christians? Also why is it that they seem to attack that more often than other religions? I've always wanted to know those things. And no hate here that was an honest question.

HughJaxident67 Hmm some good points. Fist I gotta say (off topic) but I don't agree with taxes anyways. Not only do I think churches shouldn't be taxed but there shouldn't be income tax at all. People work to hard and every dollar made, spent or saved is taxed. But thats another conversation. So I would like to know where you get your info. I have always learned that men wrote the bible. Just like The Word says we are His hands and feet. So God set up a system that requires Him to use us in order to do His will. A lot of things go wrong and we blame God but He isn't the problem. I like what one guy said, "the gift is perfect but it comes through imperfect vessels." Thats me and you. So I also think things differently than most christians. I do believe God is all powerful however this does not mean He has all authority. Therefore He does not control people with an iron fist like most believe. We have free will. So in a lot of places where you find God doing things that appear wrong in the bible its usually due to human error. Like I recently found out that a lot of why king David and them wiped people out was that most all the people they wiped out were not really human to begin with. You can find in Genesis it talks about the fallen angles mating with human women and out came the nephilim. So they were destroyed not people. Also there is a VAST difference between the old and new testament. Understanding WHY the law had to be is a great help. Also how Jesus fulfilled that law too. So when Paul in Romans talks about this, YES it is Paul writing it but through The Lord. Also, along the lines of forgiveness. One thing people often miss is that YES while you are forgiven and sins washed away that doesn't give you the right to behave foolishly. Im speaking to fellow believers. Also that you will still have to deal with the consequence of your wrong doing even though you are forgiven. So nothing, in a sense, is with out consequence. Often times people can't except this cause there was something in their life they cannot forgive themselves for. Trying to understand with the mind what was created by The Spirit is also why people keep running into brick walls when it comes to The Bible. Also what about the sanhedrin talmud and roman historical documents that give account of a man named Jesus being crucified? Either I'm not here to try and convert or be converted I'm just growing in my knowledge of the Lord. And no matter what the reason I believe isn't cause I blindly follow something and get no results. I think that is kind of dumb. Why would I pray for someone if it didn't work?!?!?! Believe it or not Ive been healed from a broken foot, tooth decay my daughter from really bad allergy infections. My father from almost going blind and so on and so forth. So FOR ME I know this works cause I have seen it. Maybe one day you will too. But either way stay dedicated. Like the bible says "be hot or cold. Do not be lukewarm." < butchered. haha.

WOW first off awesome info. I have to say I really enjoy talking with you. Your not dumb and just get mad like christians and atheist both do. You are educated and I respect that. Now of course I can't hold a candle to you on most of your historical facts cause well you are smarter than me on that. The only thing can say is regarding those horrible acts in the old testament. Im not to popular with christians myself cause I don't like to accept something blindly and walk through life that way. I want to know. And God does say that He will give you answers and knowledge of things to come. So my rule is always this. Whats the beginning of the book about? God having man in a place where there is no trouble of any kind. Whats the end of the book about? God getting us to a place where there is no trouble of any kind. The bible says "He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore." So AS A CHRISTIAN I took that verse as law! Now as I have approached many "contradictions" with that previous rule of mine in place I was able to start seeing that there aren't really any contradictions. Of course I haven't been able to go through them all yet. So for instance in regard to old testament. BEFORE the law of moses, people did whatever they wanted. Murder, raping and killing and it wasn't wrong necessarily because there was nothing to teach them wrong or right so there was no concept of either. The Law came to show them what was wrong but they had no means to follow such strict guidelines. By "means" I am referring to the spirit inside us OR how you might identify better, the moral compass on the inside of us. So often times when He would destroy people it was done because there was no way for them without even a "moral compass" to not do the things like rape and murder like in Sodom and Gamorah. Also if you study on the nephilim most tribes of people, all the ones I have found actually, were "infested" with nephilim blood which is why He told His people not to intermingle with any other people. So like I said most killings of "people" were not really "people" with human DNA like me and you anyways. With the new testament we have a different covenant than they had back then. Different "rules" if you will. So when you study the old you have to refer to the new as well. Anyways you can argue that its historically wrong and so on and so forth but I challenge you to learn a few things. The Law. Its purpose. Why and how it came to be. What Jesus did. His purpose here and what He accomplished. Thats something most christians don't even know. And if nothing else it will just help your case in atheism. And study with that "rule" of mine in mind. He is good in the beginning and the end so in the middle all the so called "horrible" things have to be for a good reason. Also Ill be researching the things you gave me too! Might take a while cause I got a lot of overtime coming up so Ill get back to you when I can.

yes exactly!!! PS hope you guys doing well! :D

Thanks man! And I meant *goofy not goody. LOL

Wow Austin nice to see you here I literally just finished watching your last vlog

I love the nive nulls

The Nive Nulls!

They belittle your God not because they are insecure but because they are irritated by the logical fallacies your God presents, the ridiculous amount of indoctrination that religious people spread, the arrogance of when you say your extraordinary claims are true with no sound logic and evidence to back it up and the insecurities YOU people actually display by believing in such nonsense.

+Jesus Ramos Lol why even watch these videos of go through comments sections if you aren't seeking anything? You're either wasting your time being hateful OR you are actually curious and want to learn. If you are so sure of yourself and you hate our beliefs, you wouldn't bother watching these videos. UNLESS you deliberately come here to spread hate or just to be rude.

iluvMcDees The reason I'm here is to entertain myself with these autistic Christian comments and to hopefully find some I can convert into freethinkers.

+Joanna Baky Im surprised that non-christians are replying to you. What i don't understand is why they take time out to watch and read the comments of a christian video. I know youtube is free and everything but why choose something you don't care for. Just shows me the how God can find his way in people's lives whether or not they want it.

Invisible Joy Why do we reply? Because she said she wanted to understand why we belittle her 'God'. The most logical thing to do would be to respond. Duh.

Jeffs a boss and doing great things for the Kingdom but Jesus saved you not this Channel :)

haha!!!

Attn: Jennifer Hodges.

I totally agree with the "Turn and say Hi to your neighbor" one. It really is nice, in theory, but it is awkward, even more so when you're in the awkward phase of life and don't want to be noticed. :-/

Jesus is my co-pilot one. You covered it very thorough and I like the analogy you used. My fam always cringed when seeing those bumper stickers lol

I haven't necessarily gotten the "Maybe you're blessed with the gift of singleness" statement, But the incredibly judgmental looks I get for being single or even being single and attempting to join a ministry are just awkward. I wasn't aware being single discredited my desire to serve or my eligibility to sit in church. The vibe I get is you must be married, ending a courtship coming into marriage or serving the church & it's members at hr of the day.

Missed one - when Christians say god doesn't love LGBT's - do think you should do a video/spoken word on this..... but otherwise I agree with all of these, ESP the last one :)

Us Christians are also sinners there are some Christians out there who make Christians look real bad and that is not how Christians are suppose to act but of course media only like to show Christians like that and it give people a impression of how we act and there are churches who are just bad and I love my church is open lovely place

Ruby Cupcake21 once we are born again, we are no longer sinners...you are not a sinner, you've been redeemed. Your nature has been changed, and now your citizenship is in Heaven!

83croissant we do love the sinner, at least i do💗

When most of the time they don't show any signs of loving the sinner. Cringe.

That’s not even in the Bible. That saying.

i like that!!! food is always something I show up for and and a great way to make connections! :D

That's cool! We do something like that where at the end of service we almost always have food, and people stay long afterwards and enjoy the fellowship, even during our Thursday evening studies as well, sometimes people are hanging around an hour or 2 after service!

Finalsuspect1468

Jesus suffered greatly in a cross....for a reason.

I use to think the same thing but with every little thing specially stuff that just pops out like "it was suppose to happen" is kinda ironic. There's a handful of things in my life that was like that. Kinda stuff that happened and kinda laughing way. Idk how to explain it. It's like the phrase "God must think this is funny that's why He did it." Anyways after my experiences and stuff that couldn't be coincidental and my chats with God I know everything happens for a reason. Whatever that specific reason is I don't know. I just know it happens for a reason. It's God's plan. I don't know if every little thing that happens for a reason like something real small I think just happens but there are some things that do happen for a reason. I don't know what God's plan for me is or the reason why some stuff happens but I'm still trying to find out. Whatever His plan, this life He has for me is Hell. It's terrible. I hate life and want to die honestly. A lot if of the junk I deal with is having a drug addicted mother and a dead beat dad who left when I was newborn. We were always homeless growing up with my mom's psychotic boyfriends and whatever few friends she had would do unspeakable things to me and my brothers. We all were eventually taken away by the state. Kinda too late I think cause my brother was 16 and I 14. My brother and I dropped out of high school. We were placed in terrible programs that the staff there did the same things to us as my mom. One of the programs were even shut down by the state cause they went in after a client died. I don't want to go further but I will say this. My life is one huge story. Too much too tell. My life is complete Hell. Almost everybody I ever met used me as a punching bag. I hate life and everything in it and I've been wanting to die since I was like 10 cause of my life situation. I have no control over it. The people who are, cause chaos. I hate feeling depressed cause of other people all the time. The only reason I haven't offed myself yet cause I'll go to Hell if I do. There is no good in the world. It's evil cause of the evil people in it. From my life I came to believe almost everybody in the world is evil and no way religious. I get crapped on all the time for being Catholic. I hate it. I hate life. I wish I could just die tomorrow. Just let me say goodbye to the few people I care about first then I'll gladly go. The afterlife I wish is better than this. I'm afraid it's not gonna be. I'm afraid I'm gonna burn. When I pass I doubt that I'd even choose to go into the light cause of that fear. I think I'll become a sad helpless tortured soul that you always hear about. I don't know what God's plan is for me is but I wish He will end my misery soon. I'll probably find out when I pass.

leonkennedy1259 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; - Exodus 3:7 The Lord knows your sorrow , but you have to seek him with all your heart, I hate to say this but its true , you will never find the true Jesus in the Catholic Church. He wants to set you free , free from the world of Pharoh (where the rest of the world is) set you free from your pain he is the provider of the Exodus (Escape) , will you follow him ?

leonkennedy1259 please know that you are loved. You are loved by Jesus Christ. You are loved by me, and all the others who have read your story. What the deacon in my church tells me is that, we are living in a dream here on earth, asleep up in heaven. It's a bad dream of course, he says we should do all we can to make it a good dream. But it's easier said than done. Anyways just know that soon Jesus Christ will come again, I know you are in misery, but keep Jesus in your heart and mind please. I hope you are in a better place now than you were two years ago when you wrote that comment. God bless you my friend.

suvarenee I'm a Christian and I hate it when people say that.

Graham Downs (Author) what by having fear lol no THANKS

Yep!!! I find that many, including myself earlier in life, are turned off by God simply because His body, the Church, can be unwelcoming. Not all, but some. God does not focus on where we have been or what we have done in our past, but on what we are DOING - present tense - and will do to renew our minds and lives. Actions speak more powerfully than words; I have been touched more by those who acted in Godly love towards me than those who simply judged me so I hope to reflect that to others in the way it affected me!

Lizzy Tan Thats exactly it! God won't love us more or even less because of something we have said or done. Even when we backslide a bit. That is were grace comes in. He shows me grace, I pay it forward. At least that is my goal every day.

Ilyan Yao Socialist commie! His point number are love by commie Marxist

Oh now that is major fuel for testimony-time right there! Had I known what I know now as an adult Christian when I was younger, I'd have saved a lot of emotional issues, time and money, right about the time the economy came crashing down.

HughJaxident67 Friend, you are missing a few steps to your calculation, that is why it is coming up short.

Tricia Alessio Offcourse you hate that word! Because you are a commie

That is just so grosse!

Ellie Manley Oh Lord, that ain't right!😂😂😂

Side eye fo him...all day everyday

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉✌👍❤💯%

Ellie Manley lolol ewwwww 😂😂😂😂

agreed!!! :D I love it and have met great people from it! Just was joking that sometimes it's incredibly awkward and forced haha

Haha respect bro

Yeah but visiting a church for the first time is suuuupeeerrr awkward its better that if you by your own initiative identify the visit and go up to them and say hi after the service is over. Its less awkward for the visit and it shows genuine interest and the connection fills more natural instead of force politeness.

Dary Collazo feels*

Dary Collazo I understand, it can be awkward. But for some people they are looking for a church home and they want to feel "welcomed" or "loved"...

why doesn't God point people to Jesus? In fact, why is God always hiding in the clouds? There's no reason he shouldn't be present in our lives.

***** But I mean why doesn't he physically appear to us like in the OT or like he did to the disciples and Paul in the NT? That way there people wouldn't have any reason to doubt him, and a lot more people would get saved.

***** But Moses saw God face to face (Ex 33:11) and the seventy elders of Israel (Ex 24:9-11).and Abraham did as well (Genesis 12:7). Also God is all powerful he's be able to make it, so that we won't die by simply seeing him. Wouldn't that be better for all of humanity?

Adam Wojtczak there's the father, the son, and the spirit. Three different people manifested in three different ways. They aren't the same nor are they coequal. Many times Jesus talks about going to Father John 20:17 or lifting up the father. How can you ascend to yourself? Doesn't make sense right? The person moses saw face to face was Jesus not the father. The father is a spirit only seen by Jesus. Jesus intercedes for us to the father so obviously we can't see him. I know this is a very complex topic I'm still trying to fathom it...hope I cleared up some stuff

Mikaela Mirabal How do you know that Moses saw Jesus and not the father? If that fact was well established, there wouldn't be such a thing as Jews. (since they wouldn't be able to deny Jesus' divinity, if it was mentioned in the OT)

Non*

BP TV Because of intolerance for other's beliefs.

+BP TV (BPG) I'm not hating. I just commented some facts about this sky fairy that you people like so much.

Thewonderfulwizardoftheweb God is not a "sky fairy," & no belittling comments from atheists is not going to change that. People who continue to use such immature arguments are not taken seriously. Have real & mature conversations with someone, not resort to insults & mockery like Bill Maher.

+BP TV (USA #1) And Jesus said "You will be hated by everyone because of me"

Good points Jeff. Everything doesn't happen for a reason. Some things happen because there is a realm of evil who is given authority by some to kill, steal & destroy. And a lot of things happen because of our own doing i.e wrong choices, impulse decisions, lack of trust. God is Love & God is always good. To say that God is testing you or He allowed misfortune to happen is complete heresy & misunderstanding of our Creator.

Jayne Hunter-Rhys Jayne, I'm an American, born and raised, and it always bothers me to hear people say, "Oh my god!" I do think it's using the Lord's name in vain, but a lot of people don't consider it so for some reason or a lot of people aren't believers so they don't think of it as the Lord's name. The unfortunate thing is that since I've been hearing it ever since kindergarten, it's become less distressing to me. :/ We need lots of prayer here in America; I think a lot of people become too complacent--myself included--and sin becomes a little issue instead of THE issue.

Jayne Hunter-Rhys Thank you for your prayers, Jayne! We live in dark times. We should all band together and pray for believers all over the world and that we become vessels God can use to spread His word! :)

What are your thoughts on the end times?

Jefferson, months ago i asked you to mention Gospel in your videos, prayed for happen, and, it happened, The last thing you said, thank you. When people are in pain, and seek forgiveness and God's Grace, we give them the Gospel, not the Law. Jefferson, if i may ask, and you can private message me this also, what branch of Christianity are you, Ex. I'm Missouri Lutheran.

Yea I think its a flow thing to make the service run smoothly. Guys like me who have short attention spans and need to get up and have a break. Actually think its fine ;)

I don't really like it either, but some people DO! I think we can just suck it up for those that are blessed by this tactic. So we are uncomfortable for 60 seconds. Get over it! There are those that would never even be spoken to at church if this wasn't being done. Yes, sad, I know. But if you can't sacrifice your precious feelings for 60 lousy seconds... stays in the parking lot!

withing context its talking about sexuality :)

I take that to mean that if you're a recovering alcoholic, God would not test your faith by tempting you with a drink. He will not give you more than you can bare. If you were to be tempted with a drink, that is of the devil. The devil tempts you, God give you trials. So for example, a struggle with alcoholism is a trial. God wants you to lean on Him to make it through. If while recovering from alcoholism, you are offered a drink, that's the devil trying to tempt you.

but then that would mean god doesn't have control over everything you see with job, god let the devil do evil against him, you're right god didn't do the evil but he let it happen

Adam Wojtczak to show that believers follow not only through good but through bad im pretty sure.

you missed a key word in that verse "BUT" and also did not cite the whole verse. "But when you are tempted, he WILL also PROVIDE A WAY OUT so that you can endure it."

That's not what it means to use God's name in vain. not from the original hebraic perspective given to moses on sinai.

I think "taking God's name in vain" is proclaiming to be a Christian on the outside, but continuing in your sinful lifestyle and acting like you're not saved on the inside. Just my thoughts. What are yours?

Airwane Gaming Taking the Lord's name in vain does not mean... Not saying God Damn.... The Hebrew meaning is "Misuse"... Therefore The Commandment means to not use God's name for an unjust cause.... Such as the Ku Klux Klan or the Catholicism...

If it depended on you to do something, so that God would help you, then that devalues grace which is given freely. The fact that you were able to do something to help yourself out of depression was because of God. And if what you say is true, what about poor people? Most of them can't help themselves, yet God finds a way to send help for the needy.

😁

Religion in what way?

I don't think Jefferson was saying the old testament is awful in anyway. He's was making a point that some of those laws and traditions that were in place back then just do not apply now. Since Jesus came, a new way of living and a new life was made through him so the past was washed away meaning that a new covenant was being made. However, the Old Testament is still valuable in understanding the nature and holiness of God. The stories in the Old Testament portray his faithfulness and steadfast love to His people despite their refusal to listen and obey.

Hey Luisa, You should read Jeff's book, "Jesus>Religion." He addresses exactly what you are talking about in the book. It's a fantastic read!!

***** You might answer correctly, sir ! How could you say there is Hell when you havn't seen it yet ? Tell me ? I dont trust the Bible, I'm from Belgium but I'm portuguese and all of my family is christian... I'm the one who doesn't believe in that religion.. Sorry for my bad English..

Indeed. Lack of sight is a foolish reason for disbelief. Of course we cannot visibly see Hell, and our minds probably can't even fathom what it must be like to be separated eternally from THE source of everything good, true and beautiful. We see that there is evil in the world, but if there is no God, no judgment, no Hell, then why do we see evil and call it evil, if it's "just the way people are?" I hear a lot of argument for people doing things just because "it's the way they are," but if we honestly think of that and logically extend it, then people can simply steal, kill or rape, because it's "the way they are." Hell is indeed something to fear, but we must understand WHY it should be feared. We, as Christians don't fear it because it's some scary punishment, we fear it because an eternity separated from the Creator is beyond comprehension. Many people think life is hell, but that's simply a life with struggles that can be overcome, and struggles that Christ helps us through. Remove Christ, let man be everything that its depraved, selfish nature demands, and multiply that by eternity. That's the hell we fear: man left without redemption, even by their own choice. Long story short, there's two types of people. Those who say to God, Your will be done. Those to whom God says, your will be done.

you should believe in God out of love and hopefully people will notice and do so as well, but hell isn't scary because of the pain lasting for eternity, in fact hell is an event not a place, an event where God burns everyone once and for all, so when the bible mentions being burnt forever it actually means being burnt and never coming back not living forever while being burnt, and many Christians don't know that. By the way I learned that from a KZfaq channel called "POTS Ministries || Studying The Word Of God" he also talks about other subjects that many people neglect, you should check it out. He also has another You Tube channel called "Johnathan Gardner" although be careful with that one as there are two channels called Johnathan Gardner, one is a music channel the other is religion related which is his other channel.

***** Why become an Atheist? What's the rational explanation for why being an Atheist is an automatic cure-all for all of life's problems?

Number 11: "Relationship not religion" Bam!

How about a video over the age of accountability. It's a topic not many people I know try to cover.

No Body Wants That Book. Bro

HOPE Jones I would get it it actually, but I don't have a credit card

elakociak Age of Accountability? its the point in time where you can stop saying "Oh he's a kid, he just picked that up" or "He doesn't know any better." Basically when someone can't use inncocence as an excuse. Like as an 18 year old, you punch someone, you know, and everyone else knows, that's wrong. But a 5 year old punches someone, they have to be told, "no, that's wrong" and it's kind off let go, because the kid didn't know it's wrong

Well, if we're discussing God, than everything pertaining to existence is a sustained manipulation of a created reality. So...

No he described him like how I would describe a school teacher. Teachers give difficult homework on purpose to see if a student will ask for help to solve the problem of if they'll struggle on their own that's not manipulative that's a test

art universe read ur bible

Like this? James 4:11-12 "Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?" Or John 8:1-8... Or Romans 14:1-13 Peace!

art universe YES.

art universe they are probably not really Christian just playing the part , but if they didn't say anything directly that was rude then it was probably god bringing you conviction , it's not always sunshine and rainbows we go through trials and tribulations , and god will bring you conviction to grow stronger in his word and become a better Christian , hope it helps

Whats wrong with Christians preaching to one another and are traditional?

Redeemer Page You could reread what I typed because I think you misunderstood me.

Yeah I read it again.If people get the impression that Christians are traditional nothing is wrong and why do you hate when Christians try to preach to each other

Dustin Zilbauer Stupid socialist commie! People who not help themselves do not deserve from anyone to begin with.

Dustin Zilbauer So you know these people personally? you know inside of their hearts? You can tell that they love the Lord their God with all their heart and all their soul? Which is the first commandment with Promise! Only God knows the heart of man. I can tell as a person who has known Missionaries and people who have come from some of these countries, that Yes, God feeds the hungry that are serving him, while people all around them perish.

Young Turks, A very good & difficult question. One of ways God feeds the hungry is through other people. Unfortunately many Christians in the West have not helped as they should.... And our nations continue to exploit the poor through capitalism. You raise a very good point. There is so much injustice. Jesus bore that injustice on the cross and He knows what it is like to experience that on a level beyond understanding. He went through suffering. And I know that He comforts those who believe in His name who suffer (I experience illness & know and experience that, though I don't live in a 3rd world nation). We still live in a very much broken world... Jesus also did not deny that hunger/suffering exists: "Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied." - Luke 6:21. Any of His followers who do suffer hunger or thirst will be rewarded later. The question is: Are you/am I willing to believe in a God who I don't fully understand? And trust that God is good?

HughJaxident67 Yes you can religion is ONLY an ideology, THATS IT. You can be Christan and gay, heck you can be Christan and budist for all I care. Stop using the stupid no true Scotsman fallacy. Because modern day Christans compared to Christans in the far past would be considered "no true christan" So back off, this is comming from an atheist.

fulleffects boy do no worry you are as much of a Christman as everyone else...

Phraja Nickolis God created Man for the express purpose of mutual relationship with him, but gave Man the power of choice and free will. Man chose to break that relationship and has been trying to find his own way by inventing religions and cults of all kinds in an effort to replace that void left by lack of relationship with his Creator. But relationship with God cannot be found through religion. In fact, religion is the biggest roadblock to seeking a relationship with God. Religion is simply Man trying to reach out to God by doing something that he thinks will please God. “If I can do enough, say enough, pray enough, give enough, sacrifice enough perhaps God will show me favor”. Every religion is based upon this “works theology”. “But my denomination teaches…” Do you really believe that God favors your denomination over others? Quite the contrary, if your denomination professes to be “the only true way”, I can pretty well guarantee that it isn’t! Do you think that God’s intention was to have dozens of different denominations of His Church? They can’t all be right, and more than likely they’re all wrong. Old Testament shows you several references and Jesus Christ Himself said concerning religion. Isaiah 1:13-14 states, “Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies…it is iniquity…Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.” Amos 5:21 says, “I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell (the odors of their sacrifices) in your solemn assemblies.” He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.”

Glenda McLachlan Im no christan. Im atheist...

HughJaxident67 No one cares, like I said, compared christans in the far past, you yourself would be seen as "no true Christan"the same way you rezent progressive Christians, past christans would rezent you. Manyt things u accept now the past christans didn't accept.Your situation no different than mormons who suddenly are ok with black people in the church. Religion's culture changes its views to keep up with humanity, otherwise it would die. It just a religion NOTHING else but a simple belief system which literally ANYONE can have, a belief system that is. Your religion is like santa anybody can interpret it WHATEVER the way they want the same goes with other religions and idelogies.

Religion, in the most basic understanding, is what man does to get close to God. Christianity, with this understanding of the definition of "religion", is not a religion because Christianity is all about what God has done by his own grace to bring us back to him. It's the complete opposite of religion, is more of a relationship than a religion. Sure there are the same aspects that you find in religion like having faith and conforming your moral compass but Christianity is completely different than any other faith.

Cameron Lopez God was never lost in the first place, so any man-made attempts to 'Find God" are based upon a false premise. Everyone and Everything in Creation has both a Personal and Impersonal Relationship with God, or Life----otherwise they would not even exist in the first place.

Jesus & God Are one. Jesus said " I am in the father and the father is in me, those who have seen me have seen the father"

Pigette West Everyone and everything are One with God or they would not even exist in the first place. If you choose to worship God in the form of a 2000 year old male homo sapien that is up to you.

dagoose109 How do you know for sure that mere existence automatically equates to oneness with God?
