Good message. I’m writing this as I’m about to spend time with god and read my bible and pray. I became devoted to Jesus our lord and savior on February 20,2023. This year I’m healing & god is helping me heal & let go of the past. I love god & his son our lord and savior Jesus Christ so very much.
Thank you for including the book, chapter and verse on the screen while you speak the word of God in truth 🙏🏻👆💜✝️
Yes very helpful!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, and I especially enjoy the music recommendations. 🙏
I, among many, missed you very much. Your inspiration and encouragement have helped us very much. Your ministry means so much to broken people like me. Your faith helps my faith; my faith helps your faith.
"For still the vision awaits It's appointed time; it hastens to the end --it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." Habakkuk 2:3
I've missed you! I hope you are enjoying married life. I know these videos take a lot of time, but please know that God has truly blessed you with an ability to communicate, and when you are able to post, it's always an encouragement!
Love your message Glad I found this channel
Amen and Amen! Good word,
Happy to see you back!
Thank you for your Videos, please keep me in your prayers,
Opiates were used in older drugs to numb pain. So in other words he saw religion merely as a means people use for dealing with hardship. Marx didn’t acknowledge differences between religions from this statement, thus conflating what general effect religions may have on the masses. Jesus is the Balm of Gilead and our reason for living.
Wonderfully said, spoken with love.
glad to see your back on CZcams. new format without the hello beautiful people greeting we are used to.
yayyy you’re backk
Thank you sister for truth ! Especially chapter s to read and review 🙏 0:45 Romans 3:23🙏
Matthew 13:25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
One thing is for certain its the parable of the wheat and the tares that is going on here.
good one there i really agree wih you jesus is the only way
Love your videos. To God be the glory.
Can you do a video on "are woman allowed to preach"? Thank you!
That Marx quote is 100% correct. Religion blinds people from the real world and they doesn't fight a good fight for righteous fight for example for opressed people but tries to make people blinded too. There are absolutely zero reasons for not to fight that righteous fight even if you are religious person because all we can lost is our chain's. And other things from many choices that religion can blinds from is science and scientific worldview which is only thing in this universe that can be trusted not because it's 100% right but because it explains and gives theories how the universe works way no religion can answer. And third point that I want to give is that if you get from somewhere ideas that something is correct you don't develop healthy scepticism to everything.
He was only correct concerning certain religions, there are religions that motivate people to change the world. But in the case religions that make everything predestinated, then he is correct.
Romans 10:3
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
2 Timothy Chapter 4
3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
This is quite an interesting comparison! How did you even come up with this idea for a video?
Hebrews 10:26 enough said
The chapter of the book the Knowledge of the Holy by AW Tozer - he talked about it in there and I knew I had to share!
@@FarAwayDistancey elderly disabled neighbor in a wheelchair needs dialysis 3 times a week and medicare only covers 80% for dialysis treatments.
Its not like shes the only one in this kind of situation.
She gets charged around 8,000 a month after the 80% (which she has no way of ever paying back) . Like how does this work. Am I supposed to not support any government action that would lower costs because voting for democrats is apparently bad? Would i be restricting the freedoms of the clinic if they were charging more than was necessary and someone took action? Am I supposed to encourage other people to open multiple competing clinics that charges sick, desperate people cause the market supposedly solves everything? Theres only so much demand for dialysis in a rural area.
Some American Christians will just tell me "oh we live in a fallen world" like i should just accept it.
I mean there are serial killers because we live in a fallen world. Sooooo we shouldn't do anything? We should just let greedy predators do what they want because its evil or something if we do?
Then theyll accuse you of being envious of these people. Theyll accuse you of all sorts of things. Tell you YOURE the greedy person. You cant possibly be angry or sad at actual hurt or injustice and if you are youre sinning. Theyll try to manipulate you into voting for parties that are funded by these criminals because if you dont "youre not being a light in the darkness,".
I actually like some christians in other countries. Believe it or not most people dont like christians here because of other things they espouse, not because of Jesus.
Which Bible verse says that we all deserve to go to hell?
I'm wondering the same curiously so I'll watch Becca again until I better understand 🙏 0:45 Romans 3:23🙏
@@vegasrichsave
I will search the scriptures for the answer.
God bless.
@@anonymousdontbotheraboutit2895The following scriptures confirm hell and the lake of fire will be forever and ever. The soul never ceases to existence.
By comparison to eternal life with God, how is that fair to those that if you will, pardon the term, drag Christ's sacrifice, death and resurrection through the mud don't receive just judgement for denying God and Jesus.
I suppose the point is that the eternal flame prepared for Satan and the angels that followed him, they will not burn up and experience eternal flame, torment and punishment for eternity however it really doesn't make sense the scriptures in the Bible about the soul never dying.
Matthew 22:23-33 (verse 30)
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (V) are like angels of God in heaven.
(V) 1 John 3:2
2 Beloved, (A)now we are children of God; and (B) it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, (C) we shall be like Him, for (D) we shall see Him as He is.
(A) Isaiah 56:5, Romans 8:15-16
(B) Romans 8:18-19, Romans 8:23
(C) Romans 8:29, 2 Peter 1:4
(D) Psalm 16:11
The above scriptures have even more cross references to look up. Following all of them reveals the answer. To do this for you in one post would be a novel. It all ties together throughout God's love letter to mankind.
As I read about the rich man cast into Hades in torment (Luke 16:19-31) only to be completely consumed when Hades is cast into the eternal flame prepared for Satan and his angels. (Revelation 20:14-15)
What of those who die just before Christ returns?
They will not have been in torment as long as the rich man.
Matthew 10:28
28 (A)And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather (B) fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
(A) Luke 12:4,1 Peter 3:14
(B) Isaiah 8:13, Matthew 5:22, Luke 12:5
Daniel chapter 1 (whole chapter)
2 Thessalonians 1:3-12 (key verse 9)
Revelation 14:1-13 (key verses 10 & 11
Revelation chapter 20
Matthew 25:46
Psalm chapter 76 (key verse 10)
Deuteronomy 32:3-5
John chapter 3; verses 16, 18 and 36
Of course I encourage reading the verses before and after for full context, better yet the entire chapter.
The Bible is very clear about eternal life and eternal punishment. God has shown just how much He loves mankind through sacrificing His only begotten son.
For those that deny God and Christ receive justice for that denial. For those that read this post; study it for yourself, so you'll know the truth through God's Holy Word and the greatest love letter ever written to mankind.
Good brief little video ❤
“If you can’t show it, then you don’t know it.”
-Aron Ra
Wrong!
yehey regular uploads , people want to take lightly of this to give way to their earthly pleasures we should always take this seriously in our soul, our destination in the immortal world are forever so dont go to hell, heaven is immortal everything positive theres no more earthly things(pain, suffering, earthly persecutions even memory of earthly things etc...)
I came to the conclusion a number of years ago that most churches are just businesses that want people psychologically addicted to their ceremonies and entertainments. They get people to pay them to make them feel good about God whether they should or not. But we all eventually have to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, even with God's grace.
Karl Marx... who's real name is Moses Mordecai-Levi. You should actually look into who he was and what was his religion.
@Paul Gwyn He had a mentor named Moses Hess. (Marx has a lot of myths surrounding him, but his actual history is sinister.)
Marx spoke out against organised religion in all forms, so despite his christian upbringing, in his adult life it's safe to say he had no religious affiliation. Not sure where you get that his 'real name' is Moses; his grandfather was a rabbi, but his father converted to protestantism when he married Karl Marx' mother. Not that any of that matters, but I can't find any historic reference for your claim.
I don't think teaching is the way, just because we know the way doesn't mean our choice to follow the way is genuine, people do things all the time that go against their subconcious desires which makes the choice to follow truth disingenuous without ignorance of the law
fake it till you make it is a exercise in stagnation
Hm, disappointing my first post someone got deleted even tho it was fully viewable for a while... ill try again then and assume it was a mistake and nothing more.
First of all this is the full quote as its important to take it in context - "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
What Marx meant by this is basically that religion offers disadvantaged people something to fall back on during hard times, something to find strength and solace in. Something to get them through their hardships and offer them hope when they are hopeless to see them through. A sentiment i think even most Christians would agree with and most atheist would as well as a role of religion.
We can go on from here, and talk about if religion is the only, or even the best source of this hope, or even if religion is true at all; but his original statement is pretty much dead on to what religion can offer to people. People see the word "opiate" and take it all out of context and think its just some derogatory comment comparing religion to a drug people use to get high or abuse. Its not. As with all things looking into things with greater context is really, really important.
Hello again
So did you look at The God Culture?
You should do an update video you took quite some time off CZcams
I dont want any part of any afterlife. I do like your face.
There are no wicked people, only wicked actions taken while in our current form. This world is in need of abundant love, and I offer it to you willingly. I'm just not convinced... God would have to take some pretty wicked actions to punish people eternally for not conforming to the word of so many generations of corrupt leaders and tyrants. Sorry, not for me. I believe God IS love and doesn't have the violent, oppressive traits that humans do. He probably wouldn't condone leading people with fear and violence and require death and destruction in exchange for peace. That sounds like a demon...
You've clearly never read God's word. I'd suggest you start there and then come back and comment ❤️
Why was this recommended?
Maybe because Jesus wants you to receive this wonderful message of eternal life and salvation? How blessed are you? 🙏❤️
@@dawnb8906 This reminds me of part of a show the British mentalist Derren Brown did. Basically he got a woman and told her him and his film crew and actors would do little "interventions" into her life. That the cameras would be unseen and the actors would pretend to be normal people, but throughout the month they would subtly intervene in her life to teach her small lessons. At the end of the month she sat back down with Derren and they talked about her experiences. She said she noticed multiple times where actors, posed as every day people in her life, did little things around her for the program. And she talked about how she thought these littler interactions were teaching her to be more open to people, to be more friendly, to make changes in herself. She felt she really grew from Derren helping her but intervening in her daily life.
The kicker was, Derren had NO ONE following her. No actors, no cameras, nothing. Everything she thought was part of Derren's crew trying to "teach her lessons about herself" was just her normal every day life. But because she had the expectation there was more behind these random encounters, she assigned them agency when there was none.
People do this all the time, we look for patterns and reasoning behind things because it makes us feel better about ourselves. We assign agency when there is none. Like, for example, assuming a simple YT algorithm is actually Jesus trying to get a message across.
You've changed. I used to feel good after watching you. Now you barely smile.
Really? How odd you think that. I see pure joy in her face, voice and demeanour. She is spirit filled. Maybe search the blocks within YOU that prevents you from seeing this. Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you. Repent and pray 🙏
That's some gorgeous hair, young lady. Anyway, I say just read the book (The Bible) for yourselves and quit listening to what everyone else says that is contrary to what you read.
What a loving god! He forces you to be born with a sinful nature and because of that sinful nature you deserve eternal torment!
@@anonymousdontbotheraboutit2895 It implies that by default everyone goes to hell unless they accept Jesus. And this is seen as righteous judgement from the all loving wrathful yahweh. So unless you are willing to admit yahweh is wrong it implies sinners (which he forced to be sinners in the first place) deserve hell.
@@anonymousdontbotheraboutit2895 So eternal death and destruction instead of eternal torment. Big difference there bruh. That's like saying your wife doesn't sleep with other men, because she's awake while she's getting worked by them. The punishment is eternal regardless.
The point is it claims by default everyone automatically deserves hell for being born in a way they had no choice to be. That's the brilliant design of yahweh who is supposed to be the most righteous and fair judge there could be.
@@anonymousdontbotheraboutit2895 Well it is a "difference" that doesn't make it any better. One might argue eternal nothingness is even worse than eternal torment. Nothing is worse than not existing and to some people they'd be willing to suffer if only to exist. But I see no way eternal nothingness would ever be possible for anyone to experience. It simply isn't possible even if there were such a thing as a soul (which there likely isn't) that could be destroyed.
And what point is there sending people to hell if they just stop existing? Nothing they did would be paid back because it would be like the consequences for their actions would be gone since they would not exist to remember the consequences of them. It would be no different from not sending them to hell and having them just stay dead. They won't remember being in hell or anything else, making hell redundant and pointless.
But either way it is still yahweh's fault for making them and then punishing them because of how he made them.
Read God's word before commenting ❤️
@@dawnb8906 What exactly about this comment do you disagree with? I've already read "God's word" and it is a joke. Read the old testament and you will read the myth and fictions of yahweh, a being that acts just like the devil in every regard. Read Exodus 13:16 and Revelation 13:16 back to back. Read Hosea 13: 4-8 and Revelation 13:2 back to back. Even the writer of the Book of Revelation was sneak dissing yahweh.
When I think of "opiate of the masses" I think of weed, hookup culture and atheism when it is not linked with philosophy.
there is no god
