_____________
A “Christian” is not a person who has said a prayer or walked down an aisle or been raised in a Christian family. While each of these things can be a part of the Christian experience, they are not what makes a Christian. A Christian is a person who has fully trusted in Jesus Christ as the only Savior and therefore possesses the Holy Spirit (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Former athiest here. God is good!
What made you believe?
@@zeprillo the truth
@JevvoBruv everything already happen in the old testament for the new testament to come into being
@@Alex-yr8iy the truth of what?
Mating two white sheep infront of a stripped branch won't make their baby stripped.. That doesn't how genetics work.. So I can't actually consider the bible as truth.. So besides the bible what made you believe.. Please be specific
JevvoBruv ILL PRAY FOR U BOO♥️
God saved me from the darkness of drugs and alcohol. Praying is my best weapon against relapse
Keep praying it’s the most powerful thing you can do
That is your crutch, but you overcome drugs/alcohol with your own willpower. Many many people have beat addiction without prayer
Different strokes for different folks. Some people have their methods and others differ. leaning on God worked in my case, "personally mentioning". Is God my crutch? Yes he is.. beating addiction takes whatever it takes my friend.
@@michaelluciano7774 That's fine, but it's still a delusion. You are crediting god with something you did yourself. God didn't save you, YOU saved you.

I loved your story. I was saved three days ago!
Gabrielle Malaszuk I’m so happy for you!!! To God goes the glory! ❤️❤️❤️
Glory! Welcome to the family of Christ😊
@@loretta.o1806 I am sorry but, whatever religion you may follow, god will always consider you his/her child.. don't worry about God, he's far more liberal..
@@shashanktiwary9890 Not sure what you mean? Liberal? I think we are speaking on two different things here
Gabrielle Malaszuk praise God come back to Jesus
I just recently found god at age 26. Used to call myself an atheist but I’m so excited about this new journey
Welcome home bud:)
It’s not a new journey, it’s your homecoming 🙏 God bless you!
I was also an atheist for the longest time I grew up in a Christian home but didn't believe. One day, I met a Christian friend on campus, and he invited me to BCM. I went out of respect for him. I ended up actually liking it. He then, invited me to his Pentecostal Church, and I spoke in tongues for the first time in my life. God also healed me from my brain tumor and heart murmur. Till this day, I see God's hand on the sick and the poor. Welcome to the Kingdom sister!🙏❤️
I'm glad you are a Christian, but you can't speak in tongues. That was only reserved for the apostles back then to get the Word across and out to the nations.
jlotiffh But wait, I speak in tongues too. In fact daily when in prayer to Jesus. Where does it say in the Bible tongues was only for the first century apostles? In fact, the Bible specifically mentions the gifts of speaking in tongues AND the interpretation of tongues in Paul's first letter to the Corinthian church if I'm not mistaken (1 Corinthians 12:31). In any case there are many times when the Holy Spirit moves me to start praying in tongues especially when I think I've finished praying: "The Spirit maketh intercession for us for we know not what to pray for when we pray" (Romans 8:26). Now of course if do not believe in the Holy Spirit, Who has been present since before the beginning of the Earth (Genesis 1:2), Who was in Joseph (Genesis 41:38), in Joshua (Numbers 27:18), in Daniel (Daniel 4:8, 5:11-14, 6:3), filled Beasley (Exodus 31:3, 35:31) and was present when Jesus Christ was baptised (Matthew 3:16) then all of this will be foolishness to But think about this: if God does not change and is the same from everlasting to everlasting, (Malachi 3:6) why would the Holy Spirit imbue his children with certain gifts and power and cease to do so with us in the 21st century? I thought I'd just say this before I go brush my teeth. Have a good morning from me in England and may the Spirit guide you into all truth (John 16:13).
Sorry my reply was meant for Jeezle
jeezleweez F Actually, there's new research in speaking in tongues. The Bible also let's us know it is evidence of a mighty God. The first occurrence of speaking in tongues occurred on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. The apostles went out and shared the gospel with the crowds, speaking to them in their own languages: “We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (Acts 2:11). The Greek word translated tongues literally means “languages.” Therefore, the gift of tongues is speaking in a language a person does not know in order to minister to someone who does speak that language. In 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14, Paul discusses miraculous gifts, saying, “Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?” (1 Corinthians 14:6). According to the apostle Paul, and in agreement with the tongues described in Acts, speaking in tongues is valuable to the one hearing God’s message in his or her own language, but it is useless to everyone else unless it is interpreted/translated.
A person with the gift of interpreting tongues (1 Corinthians 12:30) could understand what a tongues-speaker was saying even though he did not know the language that was being spoken. The tongues interpreter would then communicate the message of the tongues speaker to everyone else, so all could understand. “For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says” (1 Corinthians 14:13). Paul’s conclusion regarding tongues that were not interpreted is powerful: “But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue” (1 Corinthians 14:19).
Is the gift of tongues for today? First Corinthians 13:8 mentions the gift of tongues ceasing, although it connects the ceasing with the arrival of the “perfect” in 1 Corinthians 13:10. Some point to a difference in the tense of the Greek verbs referring to prophecy and knowledge “ceasing” and that of tongues “being ceased” as evidence for tongues ceasing before the arrival of the “perfect.” While possible, this is not explicitly clear from the text. Some also point to passages such as Isaiah 28:11 and Joel 2:28-29 as evidence that speaking in tongues was a sign of God's oncoming judgment. First Corinthians 14:22 describes tongues as a “sign to unbelievers.” According to this argument, the gift of tongues was a warning to the Jews that God was going to judge Israel for rejecting Jesus Christ as Messiah. Therefore, when God did in fact judge Israel (with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70), the gift of tongues would no longer serve its intended purpose. While this view is possible, the primary purpose of tongues being fulfilled does not necessarily demand its cessation. Scripture does not conclusively assert that the gift of speaking in tongues has ceased.
At the same time, if the gift of speaking in tongues were active in the church today, it would be performed in agreement with Scripture. It would be a real and intelligible language (1 Corinthians 14:10). It would be for the purpose of communicating God's Word with a person of another language (Acts 2:6-12). It would be in agreement with the command God gave through the apostle Paul, “If anyone speaks in a tongue, two-or at the most three-should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God” (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). It would also be in accordance with 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
God most definitely can give a person the gift of speaking in tongues to enable him or her to communicate with a person who speaks another language. The Holy Spirit is sovereign in the dispersion of the spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:11). Just imagine how much more productive missionaries could be if they did not have to go to language school, and were instantly able to speak to people in their own language. However, God does not seem to be doing this. Tongues does not seem to occur today in the manner it did in the New Testament, despite the fact that it would be immensely useful. The vast majority of believers who claim to practice the gift of speaking in tongues do not do so in agreement with the Scriptures mentioned above. These facts lead to the conclusion that the gift of tongues has ceased or is at least a rarity in God's plan for the church today.
jlotiffh congratulations! I'm apostolic/pentecostal and its great to hear you've been filled with the holy ghost by the evidence of speaking in tongues.😊 good luck with your journey on the straight and narrow.
I was an atheist for quite some time. Nothing good was going on in life, pain, hurt, sadness, feeling empty, almost life with no purpose. Then one day I watched a video on Jesus, and I got a feeling of joy. After that I started reading more and watching more videos on Jesus, and the feeling of purpose and love grew stronger. Now I am a full Christian and truly accept and love God and Jesus.
The power is real, and so is he.
God bless you all!!
Amen ,Jesus loves ❤️ youuuuuuuuu
That’s beautiful! I pray for my wife daily. I married her when I was in a backslidden’s state and she is not a Christian. I pray for her salvation dearly and I hope to one day be able to say that we are being sanctified together as well
Praying for you
How is it going with your wife?
Let her go and date/marry someone who is a believer don't try to change her
I agree with you: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, you AND your house."
I have been a big drinker for years and now I want to give my heart to Jesus and study theology. Please pray for me.
I pray for you. Where are you? I know people who can help you
Please lookup this message on CZcams:
_"Born Again Through Repentance And Faith"_ by Zac Poonen.
You can start listening at 23:38.
Follow God's precepts to be born again and be sure of it.
Peace to you!
That’s awesome!!!
How’s your wall going ?
Did u give your heart to Jesus!? Did u stop drinking? Ask him for forgiveness and ask him to help you overcome drinking, addiction, whatever your struggling with. We have to enlist the holy spirit to help us. 🙏
Not only our past but also our present and future sins are forgiven. What a awesome God we have!
Yes, amen!
Doesn't mean you don't repent and also you will still be judged for your sin and punished
+Shane Kemp
Repentance = A change of mind.
God who is without sin repented.
couple of examples...
Genesis 6:6 KJB
Exodus 32:14 KJB
If you are SAVED you are no longer under condemnation.
John 5:24 KJB
Romans 8:1 KJB
When the saved stand before God it is called the Judgement seat of Christ
There is where our works after salvation will be tried in the fire we need to be warning and winning the lost to Jesus Christ because only the work we did for Jesus will withstand the fire.
2 Corinthians 5:10 KJB
When the lost stand before God it is The Great white throne
judgement if your name is not in the book of life you well die the second death for all eternity body and soul in the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15 KJB
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God not of Works lest any man should boast.
Romans 10:9-10
If Thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead Thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Don't believe Once Saved Always Saved. Faith without Works is DEAD. Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? GOD FORBID
Works without faith are dead also! If you don't have works, then the answer is not to produce fruits in order to receive faith but getting saved which automatically produces fruits. James 2 is not talking about the issue between individual's heart and God attitude towards it. It speaks works between men!
James 2:14 .... a man *say* he hath faith...
James 2:16 ...And one of you *say* unto them...
James 2:18 ....Yea, a man *may say,* ....
Yes a man may say all sorts of things to another man but another man does not see in the individuals heart but only the fruits. You don't need to *SAY* to God anything because men see the fruits of men but God sees in the heart. Abraham got saved 25 years earlier before performing the fruits, yet God declared him to be righteous without works. So the conclusion is in order to get saved there must be two elements- you must believe and stop relying on your fruits. Works and grace are mutually exclusive each other. Jesus doesn't share His grace with your works. If you are trusting 99% of Jesus and 1% your works then you are under the law and obligated to keep the whole law and grace of God is worthless to you.
Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Rom 4:4-5 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Similar story with me, was a hardcore atheist until age 20.
I'm a Christian and needs help to prove God is real to an atheist
Any tips?
Yeah so how can you prove god?
zeprillo By praying.
@@zeprillo Research.
Life is a test, and like in any test you have to study hard to pass it.
@ Alex, Look up the laws of Thermodynamics. Especially the second one.
That moment when you felt the conviction that was the gift of repentance and then right after you called on God...you got the gift of faith and right there when you asked him to work on your heart...your relationship started. Hallelu-Yah!!!
When she said "he did end up talking about it, a lot"
I thought Yoooo!!!
Shoutouts to those real ones!!!
Whoo!! 😁
Glory be the God. I am grateful to have you as a sister.
WOOJONG woojong?? Lol
It’s sad to me that in order for you to consider me a sister I have to belong to your religion. We are a family of man.
FeelTheLack in my eyes your not my sister or brother unless we blood family or we been good friends for years not basted on my religion
How sad. That separates you from the family of man and makes it acceptable to treat people you don't know like they don't matter. It creates a barrier between YOU and THEM instead of US.
FeelTheLack Bro you’ll never be my sibling.
God and Jesus were the only people to save me from my depression💗
Same and anxiety too
me too, there is no one else that can fill our heart and soul with everlasting joy and peace but Jesus ! Praise the Lord of Heaven !
Lord!
I want to ask you for this three persons, that you really give them freedom from the drepression and anxiety (whats the difference?) they are experiencing! You are love and full love drives out fear! (1 John 4:18) Let them (and me) really grasp (at least a glimpse of) YOUR ungraspable love (Eph 3:14-21)!
Let them stay in your word and reveal them your truth and please lord, you (the truth), set them free like you promised in Joh 8:31-32! You are the one in whom we find true freedom! (V 36)
I want to ask you that also for everyone else reading this and beeing captive from depression or whatever! And I want to ask you that you keep me from falling back into my old captivity which is so strange but I feel like doing old habbits again! You said in V36 whom the son sets free is free indeed!
Jasmine Chapman Jesus is God
Glad you are well (presumably) but how can god and Jesus be people? God is spiritual and Jesus is dead for 2000+ years - did i read the wrong bible?
My beautiful sister, hallelujah and amen! As a dying Jewish atheist who thought Jesus fictional who wanted nothing to do with any religion, He healed & saved me, giving me irrefutable proof. Had I wanted a god-which I did NOT!- the last one I would've chosen would've been Jesus. I didn't choose Him because I wanted Him; I chose Him because He's true. And now He has my whole heart. Rebirth day: 11.11.17
The lord is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Bless you all brothers and sisters in christ I love you all
Amen Glory to the Lord Jesus!Love you to sister....
Jessica, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful testimony! Our God is awesome :) I grew up in a Christian home but totally rebelled and went my own way for many years. If anyone had asked me what my "religion" was during that time, I would have said without hesitation: "Oh, I'm a Christian." After all, I was raised a Christian and even though I was living in sin and like you said, didn't think a thing of it, I still viewed myself as a Christian. CRAZY!! Anyway, I married in 1998 and in 2000, I had an experience with Jesus and re-dedicated my life to Him. My husband and I were baptized together that year. In 2005 my husband left me for someone else. To say that I was in shock would have been putting it mildly. I loved him very much and had no clue that he wasn't happy in our marriage anymore. How that's even possible, I don't know, but it's the truth. Anyway, for ten days after hearing the news from him (that he was leaving me), I couldn't sleep or eat. I was miserable, scared, humiliated, etc. On New Year's Eve of 2005, which was 10 days later, I was lying in my bed crying and in such pain that I couldn't stand it. I started praying and told the Lord that my soon-to-be ex-husband didn't love me and that I knew Jesus loved me but He loved everyone so I was nobody special. Jessica, He spoke to my heart so clearly that it was like I heard His voice. He said, "Jane, if you had been the only person who had ever existed, I STILL would have died just for you. That's how much I love you!" I remember lying in that bed in awe and shock and what I had experienced. The next thing I knew, I was waking up to New Year's Day, 2006. I was filled with peace and joy like I had never before experienced. I still thought about my ex-husband but the pain was totally gone. I was so wrapped up in Jesus, that it just didn't hurt anymore. Sorry this was so long but I really felt led to share this. Hope to meet you soon in the air, sister! Our King is coming very soon :) God bless you and your precious family.
Jane Langemark Wow, amen Jane! God is so good and faithful and He works through our trials to bring us closer to Him! Thank you for sharing your amazing story
God is SO good! Love your testimony and thank you for sharing.
I know right! He created hell, doesn't help the poor, commits mass genocide, infanticide, creates humans, then punishes them for being human and then destroys everything on Earth! What a great guy!
+dawn khader
You have a pretty messed up view of the Bible.
Yes, He created hell for the people who reject Him.
The fact He gives us a choice is showing He doesn't treat us like robots and that we can have a choice in what we want, free will basically.
Doesn't help the poor?
Most poor people I have met are some the most humble people you can meet. If people draw closer to God while they are poor over them being rich and far from God, then they are better off being poor.
The things of this world will perish and have no value, so if a poor person has Christ then they are more rich than the rich person without Christ.
God gives eternal life in paradise to even poor people, so yes, God takes care of His children.
Mass genocide/infanticide?
Nowhere in the bible does this happen. The bible that displays the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob atleast.
God did create humans, but humans disobeyed God even after they were told not to. Man brought sin into the world which then resulted in death. So no, God didn't do anything wrong, He gave mankind choice, and man chose wrong.
Punishes us for being human?
No, He punished Jesus Christ on the cross in place of all our past, present and future sins. We must now come to God in repentance through Jesus Christ as He is the ultimate sacrifice.
Just because we become saved doesn't mean we become perfect, we will still have trials while we draw breath on this fallen earth.
Destroys everything on earth?
He destroyed the earth and everything in it except noah and his family because thats how evil the earth was.
The penalty for sin was death and only noah was found righteous, which then He spared his family.
God will not destory the earth again until revelation unfolds, but now people have a chance to choose Him before it happens.
God gives the free gift of eternal life in paradise and all we have to do is accept it.
Yup, what a pretty awesome God we serve indeed!
In The Beginning: "He created hell for the people who reject Him." "...we can have a choice in what we want..." "... all we have to do is accept it." - Some choice: Accept me or burn in hell!
"if a poor person has Christ then they are more rich than the rich person without Christ." - That's some impressive mental gymnastics. What about the person who is rich and has Christ? Is that better than being poor and having Christ? What you're doing here is explaining away God's lack of concern over poverty. And we're not just talking about being a bit short of money in a Western country, we're talking about abject poverty in countries where there isn't enough food to keep children alive.
No genocide/infanticide?: Deuteronomy 2:34; 3:6; 7:2; 7:16; 13:15; 20: 16-17. Joshua 6:21; 10:40. 1 Samuel, 15:2-3.
"...humans disobeyed God even after they were told not to." "Man brought sin into the world ..." - Adam and Eve did not know right from wrong until they ate the fruit of the tree, so how could they be guilty of doing "wrong"? They would not know that doing what somebody had told them not to was "wrong". And why did God put that tree there? What compelled him to do so? He was setting a trap for his child-like creations. It was not MAN who brought sin into the world, but God, by putting the tree there in the first place and exposing his beloved creation to risk. Anyway, it was the devil's fault, wasn't it? He beguiled these innocent, naive children. And who created the devil?
Punishing us for being human: Jesus was just the last in a line of attempts by God to put right the mistakes he had made. First Adam and Eve, then the whole of humanity bar the drunken Noah and his family, then Jesus. But if, as you and others like you claim, Jesus atoned for our sins, why do we have to go on atoning for those sins? Wasn't Jesus' brief death enough? It sounds to me as if this was yet another failed attempt to put things right. Jesus was also God, no? So God sacrifices himself to himself to make up for the wrong-doings of the creatures he created.How can you swallow this nonsense?
Talking of swallowing nonsense: Can you seriously believe that the Noah's flood story is anything but allegory/mythology? There is no evidence of the kind of flood described and there is plenty of evidence to confirm that it is fictional.
+Nai61a
So many mistakes you made in response to what I said.
Will get back when time allows.
+Nai61a
If you would ask questions in sections it would be easier to respond, please keep this in mind for future reference so I can answer the questions.
"What about the person who is rich and has Christ?"
The same applies, they both have Christ and no more is needed, the riches of the world mean nothing.
"What you're doing here is...."
Nope, you just missed the point.
"Keeping children alive?"
This is man's responsibility, not God's.
Man decided to have children which lead to them not taking responsibility of said children, why did most men or women abandon their children? Again, man's problem, not God's.
"Genocide/infanticide"
Deep topic so read here if you are interested.
www.gotquestions.org/Canaanites-extermination.html
"Adam and eve did not known right from wrong"
Yes, they did.
They knew eating the forbidden fruit was wrong because God simply told them NOT to eat, thus telling them it was WRONG to do it.
Common sense really.
"Why did God put tree there?"
To give man choice to obey.
Would you rather Him make us robots to be perfect and have no free will what so ever? I wouldn't.
I'm glad I serve a God who lets me choose and doesn't control my every move.
(continued)
"That was the day the Lord granted me salvation." How awesome.

Emma Rockstar jesus was not black he was hebrew and no the ancient hebrews were not black and the bronze skin and hair like wool doesnt prove it i have bronze skin and wooly hair n when im in the sun i get really dark darker than some black people
lgndvb01 its against gods law for god to bear children with a human. thats why greek mythology is fiction. god doesnt allow it.
emma your a Israelite so called jesus would be called an African American today. The tribe of Judah are the so called black americans Hebrews 7:14 (KJV). The other tribes are the so called Hispanics, native americans, haitains and Jamaicans. John 8:32 (KJV)
God is so good

HuckFinn YAHWEH
HuckFinn A couple weeks late but whatevs ;) -- it's not a question of "which one" of the "silly things". For those 3,000+ gods are false. They're just made from the damaged, sinful hearts & minds of mankind. Because you see, God isn't a god. He is the true, almighty, all loving God. He's a Father who longs for relationship with each and every one us. He's not a silly, invisible thing that sits in the sky that makes us slaves to him. --Once you have have a relationship with Him, you feel Him in your heart, and there's nothing more real than that. Nothing. It's a connection to the Father that surpasses everything. He is so real, so alive, and SO good!!! :)
You actually have no evidence that your god exists...
+Nicholas Flamel how brain converts a smell, noise, taste, light, and touch into a memory?
I think it works almost same like a digital coding in electronic devices.
How our DNA transcription process could work perfectly? and the process is very complex.
It's hard to believe a nature could add some new genetic information and change the genetic code in the evolution theory.
We got advanced technology and knowledge on this century, scientist can add any type of chemical and electric pulse in sterilled water container to create new life form but I never heard successful experiment about creating a life form.
you serve a delusional and made up god... sorry.. sorry... i just couldn't stop myself
Hello Jessica this is another Jessica writing to you all the way from Sweden.
I was also saved by our Lord Jesus in October last year. I have been a Jehovahs whiteness for 39 years and Jesus helped me and my family out of that cult and in to his love and protection. You can watch my testimony if you want. You are a beautiful young mother and your testimony will help more people to come to Christ . God bless you// Jess ❤️

Good for you. 32 years sober and counting. Thanks goes to Jesus Christ our Savior God bless ❤️🙏💯
Thank you so much for sharing!✝️😊
people think science disproves God. To the contrairy, science sais "you cannot make SOMETHING out of NOTHING". If you still doubt, go to the mountains, go to the shores of paradise. look at a sunset/sunrise. Can you really say with all your heart that this beauty was all just HAPENSTANCE! look with your heart not just with your eyes and you will be hit with the realisation that there is a concousnes behind it all.
It may not disprove. But doesn't prove either.
Depends on the worldview you put behind the theories. It all begins with assumptions about our origin if we're honest.
Science doesn't claim something came from nothing.
Highly Elevated it claims life came from non life. It claims intelligence came from non intelligence. Lol

If sunsets and mountains are not happenstance, then natural disasters that destroy people's lives are not happenstance either
Great testimony Jessica, thank you for sharing. While listening I was praying that the Lord will soften my wife's heart. Then you mentioned your daughter's name which is the same as my wife's name, Amaia. This gave me great hope. Bless you and your family.
matthew ennor Hang in there man.Keep your eyes on Jesus and keep praying.You are a living Bible for her to read everyday.
I hope your wife stays strong and you realise that she is closer to the truth than any bronze age book written to help slave owners could ever be.
That was Beautiful. God bless you and your family. May you continue to Grow and continue helping others showing the truth and opening their eyes. This really touched me thank you so much.
HALLELULAH!!! So happy for you and your family.
amazing testimony, Thanks for accepting christ.
This was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I also want to say you are gorgeous lol it is astounding to me the beauty of God. I have a lot of atheist friends and it is tough to get to them so congratulations to you! For allowing the Lord to work on you and change your life. Where would you be without Him? Now look at your life.. what a blessing! I wish you the best in life. May God continue to shine His light over you and your family's life. 💕💕💕
We're not the ones who need to be "talked sense" into, believe me. Besides, do you really know what being an atheist means? lol it literally means you believe in nothing. Not just God but nothing. I wish you the best with that. I mean no harm in replying to you and I hope you have a lovely day!
Carl G one day you will understand. Wish you the best!
Jazzy Marie the Bible explains that those who do not believe in God are fools and they are lying to themselves! Christians are not the stupid ones! God Bless:-)
Jazzy Marie all it takes is proof.

I'm sad with the low cerebral effort I'm reading here. the lack of honest autodidactism within a solid knowedge of working epistomology is so vacant here that i tend to avoid these threads.
But, know there is hope. we might just survive religion as a species (or not). we will only survive if the self fulfilling doomsdsy prophecy of the delusional doesn't occur when they finally decide to blow up this planet in the name of their God delusions. i hope the human bell curve isn't the demise of our planet.
What a great testimony. It was wonderful to see the convicting power of the Holy Spirit at work while she was driving.
This is a beautiful and very encouraging story, thank you for sharing this! Stay strong in Christ. God bless x
Congratulations, I am praying for you! I wish you the best on your journey!
Praying? What good does that do? Prayers aren't answered. If any prayer, aka wish, get's answered, it's purely coincidence.
How might we prove that God is imaginary? One way would be to find a contradiction between the definition of God and the God we experience in the real world.
What would happen if we get down on our knees and pray to God in this way:
Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.
Will anything happen? No. Of course not.
This is very odd. Jesus makes specific promises in the Bible about how prayer is supposed to work. Jesus says in many different places that he and God will answer your prayers. And Christians believe Jesus -- according to this recent article, "54% of American adults believe the Bible is literally true." In some areas of the country the number goes as high as 75%.
If the Bible is literally true, then something is seriously amiss. Simply look at the facts. In Matthew 7:7 Jesus says:
Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
If "every one who asks receives", then if we ask for cancer to be cured, it should be cured. Right? If "our Father who is in heaven gives good things to those who ask him", then if we ask him to cure cancer, he should cure it. Right? And yet nothing happens.
In Matthew 17:20 Jesus says:
For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
If "nothing will be impossible to you", then if we ask to cure cancer tonight, cancer should disappear. Right? Yet nothing happens. Note that if we take the Bible less-than-literally here, the statement "nothing will be impossible to you" becomes "lots of things will be impossible to you," and that would mean that Jesus is lying.
In Matthew 21:21:
I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
If "you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer", then if we ask to cure cancer tonight, cancer should dissappear. Right? Yet nothing happens. Note again that there is not a non-literal way to interpret "you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer", unless you replace "whatever" with "nothing" or "little."
The message is reiterated Mark 11:24:
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
If God says, "believe that you have received it, and it will be yours," and if we believe in God and his power, then what should happen if we pray to cure cancer tonight? It should be cured. Either that, or God is lying.
In John chapter 14, verses 12 through 14, Jesus tells all of us just how easy prayer can be:
"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." [ref]
Look at how direct this statement is: "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." This is the "Son of God" speaking. Have we taken him "too literally?" No. This is a simple, unambiguous statement. Have we taken his statement "out of context?" No - Jesus uses the word anyone. Yet Jesus' statement is obviously false. Because when we ask God to cure cancer tonight, nothing happens.
We see the same thing over and over again...
In Matthew 18:19 Jesus says:
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
In James 5:15-16 the Bible says:
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
In Mark 9:23:
All things are possible to him who believes.
In Luke 1:37:
For with God nothing will be impossible.
Nothing could be simpler or clearer than Jesus' promises about prayer in the Bible. Yet, when we pray to eliminate cancer, nothing happens.
And keep in mind that this is Jesus talking here. These are not the words of human beings. These are not the words of "inspired" human beings. These are supposedly the words of God himself, incarnated in a human body. Jesus is supposed to be a perfect, sinless being. And yet, it is obvious that Jesus is lying. What Jesus says is clearly incorrect.
Jesus is supposed to be God. God is supposed to be perfect.
When Jesus speaks, he should speak the truth.
Yet when we look at what Jesus says about prayer,
he is clearly lying.
If you would like additional proof, gather a million faithful believers together into a giant prayer circle. Have them all pray together in Jesus' name that God cures every case of cancer on the planet tomorrow. Pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways. Now, we certainly have two or more people gathered together, and they have asked in Jesus' name, and we have not one but a million faithful believers who, by definition, have faith and believe. We have fulfilled every one of Jesus' requirements.
Will Jesus answer the prayer now? Of course not. Your prayer will go unanswered, in direct defiance to Jesus' promises in the Bible. In fact, if you pray for anything that is impossible, your prayer will always go unanswered.
If you are an intelligent, rational human being, all of the examples mentioned above show you that the God of the Bible is imaginary. The Bible clearly promises that God answers prayers. Yet when we pray, nothing happens (for a complete discussion proving that nothing happens, please see this page). What Jesus says about prayer in the Bible clearly is not true. Therefore, one of two things must be happening:
God is imaginary.
God does exist, but he never answers prayers. Unfortunately, God is defined by the Bible to be a prayer-answering being. The contradiction between the reality of God and the definition of God proves that God is imaginary.
Biff Malibu Will you just respect our faith? you're just making a fool out of yourself. if you want us to respect you, YOU SHOULD LEARN TO RESPECT US (CHRISTIANS) FAITH!
MAY YOU TURN AWAY FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS YOU SON OF SATAN!
How can I respect any religion since it's all fantasy, yet people like you refuse to accept reality? Do you believe in Islam? How about Mormonism? Buddhism? Greek gods? If not, then you are exacty the same as me. I just believe in one less god than you do.
How do you explain God's mass murder in the Bible? How do you explain the slavery and misogyny in the bible? Have you sold all your possessions and given everything you own away? If not, you are going against Jesus' teachings. God says thou shalt not kill, yet he's directly responsible for millions of killings in the bible.
I was brainwashed as a child, as you were, to believe these fairy tales, or the loving god would sentence me to a life of torture and misery. Doing some simple research on the internet has convinced me god is imaginary. If you'd just open your eyes and do a little studying, there's no other conclusion you could reach.
For concrete proof god is imaginary, go here.

Ummm... that's not going to change anyone's heart.
Biff Malibu Whoever brainwashed you as a child missed a spot. So you went out seeking to justify it. Time to come home. We got the water warmed up for you. You might have found a thousand objections, but we have a million answers.
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Love this so much! Just shared to my Facebook friends. ❤️
I love this video! I used it as the foundation for my Bible study today. The topic was the Power of Prayer 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful transformation!
Thank you , you've inspired me to share my testimony
This brought me to tears. I'm so thankful that God brought you closer to him and that you are following in his purpose for you!! God Bless!♡
@JevvoBruv Can u prove it
What a beautiful story. God is so good! Your voice is so sweet yet so powerful!
Beautiful testimony! Thanks for sharing and God bless you!
Great testimony. Thanks for sharing. God bless you!
Thank God! ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing, woman of God! ☺
Bless you for making this video! You are beautiful. May God bless your family.
Thank you for this! Definitely making a testimony video as well. Unrelated: You are GORGEOUS!!
it's so fascinating how some people who don't believe in God go out of their way to go to these types of videos and talk hate about God.... well at least they stumbled upon these videos... that's the holy Spirit guys 😊
I hardly think encouraging healthy debate on the topic of a God is 'hate'.
While I agree that people who intentionally seek out videos such as these to call believers names are wrong in doing so, all I meant from my previous comment is that, in large part, atheists only want to debate religious folk. Not antagonise them.
I go to these videos so i can watch their testimonies, but i also love to see people on here because i see it as a chance to tell about how awesome our God is!
Pellinor religious is for muslims and roman catholics but what people dont get is that real christianity as in a love for Christ and a thirst for his word is different it is in itself real the bible says all you have to do is believe and can i just ask what is the point of debating people who believe that God is the living truth to me it seems like yall are looking for something more as if you are wanting this Jesus thing to be true for salvation in your own life because why cant we just believe and you guys just not why is there contridiction atheists are percieved as people who are full of hate do you know that right so to always try and argue and debate ... answer me why because why do you want to change peoples point of view answer for christians: because we believe its what God called us to do
Answer for atheists: pleade fill in the blank space
Because i dont know why try especially with the devout christians and not just lukewarm people who btw.... are not to argue with because they dont know squat what exactly are you trying to do what is your point? What are you trying to achieve ...people to 'open their eyes and see your truth' NO because we already have a truth that the son of God is returning and on that day every knee shall bow including yours and every tongue confess Jesus is Lord and they shall rejoice and sing unto the heavens Hallelujah but as for the ones left behind it shall be mayhem amd chaos
Why ? Why risk all of that trying to prove people wrong just leave . Dont
And dont you dare say christians are trying to prove people wrong we are just proclaiming God's truth not our own and through the process of doing that your counsel falls then so be it it is written and said so anyway
yea ive heard it all before its still a religion you can say its different which i guess all religions are different from one another in some way, but its still a religion.
i get on here mostly to tell you guys you are wrong, or to try to refute your reasoning its entertaining, im not being possessed by some ghost (the holy spirit). WHy do we risk that? its an unsupported hypothetical to me, its nonesense it would be like why dont you eat fudge for every meal? if you dont the earth will explode why would you risk that?
Aw that's a lovely story . I have recently received the Lord in my life and I'm still learning . I want to know more and connect more with god . Xx
your testimony really touched me I ended up getting a bit tearful
Jesus is definitely Real
All she had was an emotional breakdown. How is this touching?
JevvoBruv yeah of course.. thats how Einstein did it lol
Thank you for this testimony. It is very encouraging to hear!
God bless you sister!! Jesus really does love us and always reaches right where we need Him. How great is our God!
I got the chills watching and hearing your story ... thanks for sharing this!!
I got slightly aroused. Didn't see God or anything though.
I’m so happy for you! Please pray for my husband who is now an atheist. He doesn’t want to hear. Tells our kids there is no God and calls me crazy and that I am dumb and he is smart. He is smart. Maybe I’m not as smart as him but when I am weak, God is strong. I know God wants all to be saved. I pray everyday that God will soften his heart.... just like he did for you. ❤️. It’s been 5 years now. Still waiting.
I just prayed for you. ♥️
It's that moment in your life when the Holy Spirit descends upon you and you are crushed by the weight of your guilt and shame. Then you realize that Jesus is *real* and He *can* redeem you, so you feel an amazing sense of joy. You don't realize what it means to be a human and made in *His* image until you have the same experience. God bless.
So basically an appeal to emotion and feeling. Great method for figuring out truth LOL!
@@zachtastic625 No, it's when all the wrongdoing you've done in your life flashes through your mind in rapid succession. That's the truth and it's NOT funny.
@@AntiquityCentury21 That can happen without the holy spirit. That's not truth, it's literally appealing to a feeling.
That was beautiful....I've been making some changes in my life. I fell away from God after I lost my sister and blamed the big guy for so long but as time went on I realized he needed her for whatever reason more than I needed her. Even tho I'm going thru quite a battle in darkness right now, your story gives me hope and strengthens my bond with God even more so...thank you Jessica
Autumn Vaughn I'm so sorry for your loss! But I am thankful that I was able to encourage you in some way. I pray that the Lord will bless you, cling to Him! ❤️
Autumn Vaughn Sister... God doesn't need your sister. he's not the one that took her. He received her but not the one that instigated her death. our God is only good.
I'm still learning...thanks guys
Autumn Vaughn makes no sense to blame God for something bad happening to you...we owe God for everything good, and the bad shit just happens that's life, thank god it's not worse, there's always someone dealing with worse than you and me. Gratitude is the prevailing attitude of the wisest people...victimhood is the lowest level of consciousness. Glad to hear you've come out of the darkness and started being a badass again..
you're right..that's because i didn't understand God's plans for her...I would appreciate a little more respect as i would give you....the conversation was between myself and this lovely lady. but thanks for the input anyway.
Good to hear of your conversion to Jesus Christ! GOD bless you, sister!
his was AMAZING. Thank you so much for sharing!
so happy and proud of you! thank you for sharing
You're so beautiful! Praising God for saving you, sis!
Allie Smallwood Amen, thank you!
Amazing testimony! Thank you for sharing! God bless you 😊 ✝️
Beautiful testimony! Amen!
Oh man, so amazing! Praise God for totally encountering you and transforming your life. Yay for praying husbands! Your story reminds me of the lyrics: "You picked me up and you turned me around. And you placed my feet on the solid ground. Hallelujah!" :)
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing!
praise the Lord! I especially appreciate the disclaimer in your video. A lot of people claim they are Christians but then think they prayed a prayer and they are okay. It's all about repentance and belief in the gospel. I'm very excited for you!
Slave Of Christ Amen, Thank you!!
Humble in High Heels If someone has a hardened heart towards something, then it is very difficult for that person to recognize it as truth, even if it makes the slightest sense. Her husband softened her heart towards christianity, and let her consider the truth concerning her own sins, it's not like he forced her to believe in something. Your current worldview and beliefs were also accepted with an open heart; maybe not by a loving partner that softened your heart, but by other circumstances; else you would have not accepted anything that you believe in now, even if it made the slightest sense. There are atheists that would never have their heart softened towards anything that is related to religion, not even for the nicest partner. But generally, no human does what he finds absolutely foolish, it all comes down to opening oneself up to be able recognize something.
O M N I P R Ä S E N T The heart is a pump for blood not a source for emotions . I think you must have skipped some biology lessons. No wonder you’re a creationist you have a problem with reality.
Mart TL1000S I always wonder how your likes come to find these kind of videos. Clearly a person with too much time in his hands, and probably psychological issues for intentionally looking up things that he hates with a passion, only so that he can leave heartless comments. 'Heart' in that context, is obviously just a term to describe a certain phenomenon. And you would understand what i was saying, if you weren't so focused on attacking me. Next time you try to rebuke a person with dead logic, telling him he can't be cool when it is 85°F outside, remember to focus on what that person could mean with the terms he uses, then engage in a dialogue.
which lord?
It's a great testimony. God bless you and your family.
Amen, sister! Bless your soul!
May the Lord use you to bring many more to Jesus Christ our Lord!
Beautiful testimony, beautiful woman! Welcome home sister!
God bless u. God has really came into ur life and ik his gonna bless u sevenfold and change ur life big time. And u have an amazing testimony
That is so amazing
God bless 🙏
Incredible testimony!! I love this❤️ thanks for sharing 😊😊
Such a inspirational story, it is hard to talk to an atheist. Only through the power of the Holy spirit lies the power of the truth. So glad you have been saved. God bless you and your family.
Johan Bosman Yes, glory be to God! Thank you🙏🏼❤️
God bless you sis. I'm here quarantined since 7/31 and this really encourages me ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I have been wanting to tell my story and I have been so nervous to put it out there. This is something so hopeful that people need to know though!
Thanks for sharing! May God bless your testimony, your marriage and your family :-)
wonderful story sister. I was saved too in a similar way. just broke down feeling the weight of my sins one day, cried and asked for forgiveness. I felt the presence of angels and they assured me it was ok and I would be ok, ever since then I've felt so alive and awake and God is healing my broken heart. I never knew how much pain I really carried until it overflowed. praise God and his goodness!
Kelsey Mojo Amen to that!! God is SO good!!!
Loved ur video n happy for u. N UR family---GOD BLESS I ALL---AMEN)

Jesus Said: Come To Me, All You Who Are Weary And Burdened, And I Will Give You Rest.
Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn From Me, For I Am Gentle And Humble In Heart, And You Will Find Rest For Your Souls
Jesus Said: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
💛💛 i loved this !! God is good🤗😘🙏🏼
Welcome home sister❤️ god bless u!!
Wow I know someone who is sarkisian! Are you Armenian?
thank you for sharing, your testimony was very impacting to me and I love how it provokes one's faith as well as I t allowed me to self-reflect when you mention your husband was 'On fire for the Lord and diving into The Word' it made me realize I am not really seeking Christ as I wish I would/should be...although in my heart I desire Him so much♡!!! I would appreciate all and any of your prayers. thank you and God bless :D
God is so good the way He uses His children to encourage each other! I pray that you would grow closer in your relationship with Him, god bless sister!
Humble in High Heels Loved it. God was paving they way and used your husband to guide you.
Good for you...thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing this story. More people need to know and hear about the blessings of God and what it could do for your life.
Hi
