I'm crying right now. I've missed Jesus. I was told I had to go to church to find him, but he was never there. Little did I know he was waiting for me patiently outside. Thank you for this renewing of faith.
10 years ago I remember watching this as someone who hated God. For whatever reason I watched this over and over, and this video was in the back of my mind for years. Fast forward to today, and I have a personal relationship with Jesus. God used you and planted a seed. Truly incredible.
People get religion and Christian mixed up... They think it's the same thing, and it's not. He spells it out so well, you can be religious but not a Christian, but you can also be a Christian and not religious.
Joy Dorsett we don’t need to gather in a four walled church. The people of God ARE the church. Unfortunately there are millions of lukewarm Christians who Jesus says He will spit from His mouth (in Revelation)... we should gather with saints from time to time but all we need is to have a close intimate relationship with Jesus through prayer and studying His word. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, let’s make sure we are born again that we may inherit the Kingdom of Heaven 🙏🏽

This is like a Christian's perfect poem for the 21st century. When my friends ask, "Are you religious?" I always so no, that I am a Christian. I don't see my faith as a religion, I see it as my life, its who I am not what I try to be
We apply the label of "religion" to belief and worship of a supernatural being. It doesn't matter what you call yourself. Me saying I am not a human, or a living being, because I don't like the term, doesn't mean that I am not a human or alive, nor does it mean that the definitions of those words have changed, I am simply wrong.
***** You want to know something? You epic fail at grammar and spelling and you didn't even look at your mistakes. You fail at capitalization, you fail at proving there is no God, you fail at arguing, and you fail as a follower of God! Don't look at me, because I'm not the one who fails at all that. What? You got something to say? Don't bother replying, I won't listen to you. You and Satan are going DOWN! And this is something I'm not taking back down below! ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮ Stick that up yours! No homo!
"This is like a Christian's perfect poem for the 21st century." - Your taste in poetry is horrible. And so is your theology. Look... rap isn't great poetry. MMMK?
Saw this as a senior in high school in 2012. Born and raised catholic, became an atheist in high school, and after that I was deep in new age in my early 20s. Jesus saved me at 25 years old. This video is a reminder that He was after me all those years.
Come back home to the Catholic Church. If you left, it’s because you didn’t truly understand it, and it’s not your fault. We Catholics have done a poor job of teaching Catholics the faith.
Now let me clarify,. I love the church, I love the Bible, and I believe in sin. But if Jesus came to your church, would they actually let him in? I LOVE THAT. Absolutely love it!!
@@rubenthompson5900 if it were necessary but remember Jesus does not force anything on anyone that's part of love. However he does save the ones who want to be saved. I believe that wholeheartedly.
I love Jesus, don't really like much of the Bible, and am a natural skeptic who has felt a draw towards Jesus but does not like how many conduct themselves in the church. I think die hard Christians who have been religious often forget that there are so many just trying to make sense of life and wanting signs to show they are on the right path. I just watched a video where a Christian was saying he will offend non-believers if it helps them get into heaven. The problem I see is fundamentally that people use religion as ego-fuel much of the time. Obviously not all Christians but the showy aspect some engage with is very antithetical to what I feel resonates with me. Give me nature, time alone with animals and reaching out in my own way. I also think proselytizing is also very problematic, as so many have been wounded by the church. There are like these two extremes I feel when it comes to Christians....many are very loving and kind, and many are very judgmental and cruel and only superficially loving and kind. I totally get why skeptics are often wary. I wish that no matter what we could all remember we are all little humans in a vast universe, we all have dealt with likely some form of trauma, and every living creature wants to feel loved, acknowledged and respected. If we just park our ego, quietly pray but show consistently a lack of judgment and a lack of shunning....the world could be so beautiful. But I see a lot of the opposite from those who profess to be all about love, sometimes.
@myself to myself I don't want to argue or anything 😂 I just hear that question asked often and it's hard to answer. Frank Turek (or however you spell it) gives good reasoning behind his argument
Prophet Muhammad PBUH could not read or write and was from a desert with no Arabic bibles during this time, this is the evidence for the Quran for those seeking truth, these scientific miracles have only been discovered recently some being in the 20th century. Big Bang theory and humans being made from water : “Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We opened them out? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? “ 21:31 And We have built the heaven with might and We continue to expand it indeed. Holy Quran 51:48 - This astonishing verse does not just tell us that the universe has expanded. The arabic ‘la-mūsiʿūna’ tells us that the universe is continuing to expand. Evolution “What is the matter with you that you do not ascribe dignity to Allah? And certainly he has created you in stages… And Allah has raised you from the Earth like the raising of vegetation.” Holy Quran 71; 15-16, 18 these are just three examples but there are many more if you research, such as the seas that don’t mix, also the preservation of the Quran and how it has never been corrupted unlike the bible, and the development of the human in the mothers womb. Jesus PBUH was a Muslim meaning he submitted his will to the one true god and even preached this in the bible, Moses PBUH also preaches this in the Ten Commandments, surely the conception of god Christian’s have would not make this so confusing to worship three gods and contradict the original old testament, we are not in a sinful state doomed but can repent and come to god and he will forgive us. Wake up
+Tinyan Odiase ME also had a similar life like yours. I was pretty messed up, taking drugs, getting drunk, self harming myself, bitter to those who did harm to me, held on to much of the past and not letting go until one day I picked the bible up and started reading it. I found that everything you read in the bible it shows you how to live a better and happier life. It did wonders to me. Our Jesus Christ is the way and is the light. And I really agree what you say about your not religious instead it's a relationship between you and christ. That's all he wants from Us is to love him and except him by faith. God bless you 🙌🙏➕
Natalia 12 Wow that's an amazing testimony! It brought tears to my eyes cause I know how hard life used to be and i'm so grateful that Jesus brought us out of that and into His perfect love. God bless you too girl! ❤❤
Y'all have the wrong idea. U know anyone has potential to be good who are we to say we are any better than thee. U automatically think cause he is a Catholic bishop he is bad I'm telling u that all man kind are equally sinners. Lying stealing is just as bad as raping cause it's equally sinful as the ped in God's eyes
Revelation 22:11-14 "Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still Do right, and the holy still be holy. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for WHAT HE HAS DONE......Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates." I pray for your understanding in these matters and hope you find a deeper connection with scripture and the Holy Bible and Catholic Church. Keep searching neighbor and friend in Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.
If you love God you keep his commandments. Anyone who fears God would disregard this stupid video. Religion is good. the watered down preaching makes you weak. Religion and Jesus are good. Gods law is perfect.
It’s amazing how God can change somebody. Years and years ago I watched this and was offended, it didn’t make sense. 5 years later I’ve lived it and am born again. I changed my dislike into a like.
And once your eyes are one day opened to what the demons are up to in a loose self defined spiritual position with no tradition or authority...you might be REALLY offended and return to your roots.
@@matthewaleman4401 no it wouldnt. In fact reading the bible from Begining to end would make the faith stronger. Granted if you don't believe and your heart is hardend you wont understand, but if you believe and you have humbled yourself you would gain much in reading the bible from start to finish.
I have been struggling recently with my relationship with Christ and fell into new age practices. I struggled trying to be fulfilled on the inside and I realized that nothing else in this world can fulfill me like Christ. Jesus just spoke to me in this video letting me know that he is not religion but he is love. I am a believer again❤️ love for all my brothers and sisters
That’s it, Jesus has led us to Love, the eliminator of sin without even focussing on sin and being bound by it condemning ourselves for every mistake. Now our measure of who we are is by the grace of Jesus. No more sin focussing for me because learning to love has made me such a better individual. It saved my marriage and many broken relationships, which legalism destroyed. Amen 🙏
I say this so often and it’s really that simple. Jesus is love. If you look at everything you’ve been taught and change it. Instead looking at it through the eyes of love, everything changes. It’s hard for people to take the religion that has been drilled in their head for their lifetime and simplify it to just love. But it’s not JUST love. It’s huge. Profound. Endless. Love. Love encompasses All!
Spiritual Song: "Come Out of Her My People" Line 1) Come out of her my people, be not partakers of her sins, receive not of her plagues; Come out of her my people, Come out of all the temples made with hands. Scripture: Revelation 18:4 Acts 7:48; 17:24 Hosea 8:14 -- Line 2) Where Satan is transformed as an angel of light, and his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness. Deceitful workers are they; false apostles, preachers, and teachers transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof, Where the mystery of iniquity doth already work. Enemies of the cross of Christ are they. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 2 Timothy 3:5 2 Thessalonians 2:7 Philippines 3:18-19 Matthew 24:11 -- Line 3) God that made the world and all things therein; the Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth NOT in temples made with hands. Therefore, Come out of her my people, Come out of all the temples made with hands. Scripture: Acts 17:24 Revelation 18:4 Hosea 8:14 -- Line 4) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, touch not the unclean thing, And I will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

Therefore, Come out of her my people, Come out of all the temples made with hands. Scripture: Acts 7:48; 17:24 Matthew 7:13 Revelation 18:4 -- Line 6) Jesus Christ who is the Word of God is our only place of refuge, safety, virtue, and Truth; in this present evil world, By faith all that believe must trust the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, and is no lie; will teach you all things and will lead and guide you into all truth, as you read and study the word of God.

saw this back in 2013 and at 18 when i decided to leave the jehovahs witness religion i grew up in. Here i am 10 years later watching again. This video truly changed my life.
@GFish 17 Whatever led u astray from Him, I hope u know he will continue to love u. Hes always waiting for you to come back to him. and im sorry for whatever happened that made u leave out of his love. “Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:35-39 NLT Whatever led u astray from him, just know bad things do not come from God- but from Satan. For the evil things of this world does nothing more than Kill and destroy us. God is good. Im sorry for whatever led u astray from him. whatever has happened, God is still looking out for u. this life is not easy. whatever has happened, U will be okay. I promise man. u got this okay?
@Waldo If You want to know What "Led Me Astray" I'll tell you. I don't want to go to Heaven or Hell. At least at the time Pre 2015 I believed The supernatural existed. I wanted to look at porn and to Masturebate. In heaven thier is no sex. That Terrifies me. So I started looking online and I found Hemets Mehta the friendly Atheist One Of his Top Ten lists was all it took to make me rethink years of childhood indoctrination. Now I listion to Vhiced Rhino, Aron Ra, Prof. Stick, and Matt D. I also listen to Suris. it seems you assume im misserable judging by the comment. Now on a separate note. God did not create Evil Lol ;) Ok. If you say so.
Yeah I wonder why pastors who's lively hood depends on butts in the seats would continue to push such a message..... lets see.... what could possibly be motivating this "divine message".
@illinoisben Where in the Bible does it say that? Jesus according to the Bible died For all the Sins According to gods will. To know the son is to know the Father. Jesus supposedly acts only according to gods will. Now personally I don't believe in any of this as a fact but one must know the Lore.
People are ripping on this guy's poem saying it doesn't have enough "taste" or isn't poetic enough. You guys do realize it's so much more than a poem. It's a message, it's something that is way bigger than you can imagine. What he said in 4 minutes was something that looked like something small and stupid to someone with a closed mind. but to a hopeless person this is something huge on their perspective of God and could possibly bring them to a new and loving life.
If you have read the entire thing and still think, it ONLY tells people to love their neighbor and "good" stuff, and that there it encourage no negative behavior, Im done with you and i don't wan't to waste my time.
Jay Nyendwa another person you should check out is Tireo. He is another great truth speaker. He is preaching much truth in these wicked last days. He talks about the real black Jesus(not that race matters, it’s just who the true Jesus was), relationship>religion, the sprit realm, hearing God, fasting, the spirit realm, false religions(Jesus never told us to be Christians) and way more. His messages are deep and eye opening. If the Lord is leading you to check out his videos, you should. I have a playlist of his most important videos. God bless you
Christianity is still a religion, but this guy's right because it's MORE than a religion. It goes further than any religion does. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Actually, Christianity is not a religion, it is a Relationship. You can not call yourself a Christian if you don't live it out, if you don't follow what he says. Just sayin' :D
SolarPenguin Did you mean call a good person? I can't remember any line like that in John, so you'll need to find that verse. It's possible you confused a couple of verses or heard something second-hand that was wrong.
If people actually read the Bible they would know Jesus warns against religion because religions only preach their own doctrine and, if you don't do what they say, then they say you're going to hell. They do not preach the Word of GOD.
Jesus speaks against the traditions of men, which were making void the commands of God. Do not twist the Scriptures and bring greater judgment on yourself. Repent and trust in Christ for your salvation.
This video is for Christians. Other people won't understand because they don't know what he's talking about. This is for those of us who are living like religious people but we need to live for Jesus.
You realize that Jesus started christianty, right? I'm sure you won't believe me, so look up Acts 11:25-26:"Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch."
“Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography.” That got me so good, right in the very core of my soul. I love this!, that’s another like for you, Brother!

+Lea Beckman CHURCHES ARE MADE BY MASONS'S; THE VATIKAN IS A PEDOPHIL HOUSE ! AND THE PRIESTS ARE THE MOLESTERS AND PREDATORS ! THE CHURCH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS, SAME AS RELIGION EVERY MAJOR RELIGION WORSHIPING SATURN OR SATAN IF YOU WILL! Jesus bless you
***** why is he an idiot? the mason's hijacked the vatican and the church around 1400. thats why alot of them have the saturn and the all seeing eye on or in the church. I live in germany and almost every church got the triangle with the eye shit.
all these people saying he's wrong & he's not a true believer because he's not doing this and he's not doing that.. that. that right is exactly what he's talking about. we've become so obsessed with all these rules and standards that we have forgotten that it's supposed to be about love, about forgiveness. who are you to put down someone else's relationship with Jesus and God ? personally, you guys could attack me for not doing things that i'm "supposed to be doing", but in the end i would not care. it's me & god, two way deal. your opinion of our relationship is irrelevant to me. also. you are not the perfect definition of a "Christian." neither am i. we all aren't perfect. so don't judge someone just because they sin differently than you..
The truth is, you have to love the church. In Revelation 22 it talks about Christ returning for His bride. His bride being the church full of all believers. Christ died for his bride and will return for it. Yes I will admit that most accusations against the church are fair and sometimes we deserve them but the church is Jesus' bride. One person can help change that. I can guarantee you that if you were to talk bad against your friends wife you wouldn't be very good friends.
+Matthew Haubenchild Jefferson doesnt hate the church, he hates the SIN, also people are the ones who said "water is grace", but is it really? Just love God and pray
+Melissa on Tinder You are a sinner, everyone's a sinner, if you are not sinning, the day you wake up, the things you do, all of those are sin, make sure you worship God right! because of that comment, you sinned once again, you are believing you didn't sinned, your opinion is wrong, you are a sinner, everyone's dirty, accept that, the only way to clean yourself is to love God.
"...but now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness! Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean. It's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken. Which means I don't have to hide my failure, I don't have to hide my sin. Because it doesn't depend on me, it depends on Him. See because when I was God's enemy, and certainly not a fan, He looked down and said, 'I want that man.' " Dude this is powerful stuff. Although I don't quite agree that Jesus hated religion entirely, this is still an amazing piece. Thank you so much for sharing.
Christianity was conceived back in the ancient middle east by Arab goat herders. The Bible is probably the most self-contradictory book on earth. Christianity, like every other religion, is Man-Made.
***** He couldn't find the obvious flaws? That tells me he's a fucking idiot. Even some Christians can find the mistakes and moral bankruptcies. So if I fed a Bible to a goat, would that mean you had relations with that goat? I've heard many stories about Christians who read the Bible and turned into Atheists.
If you actually listen to what he says with an open mind, it's absolutely amazing. Just put away all the hate for a moment and try to use your brain to listen and understand what he's trying to get across.
That's the great thing about Jesus. When you truly see who he is, he shows us who we are, and that's sons and daughters of the King. Jesus didn't come to Earth to condemn us, he came to Love us! :)
***** according to the Bible, Jesus didn't create a religion... Paul created the religion of Christianity. Paul is the author of the majority of books in the New Testament. Jesus authored none......
This guy represents me.. I do believe in Jesus, The Church, The Bible, but I do NOT believe in religion being a Christian is not a religion, it is a style life, principles, faith, love, and righteousness. Thank you Jesus, my Lord
+TheBro I don't get how religion would be a style of principals. I, an atheist, have morals... I know the difference between right and wrong, I try to help others, I know how to love, etc. So if a lot of these principals are the same as yours, but yours are given to you by religion, then.... what in the name of ass am I missing here?
Celeste Bilderback God bless you brother, you reminded me of what Jesus said to who asked him a question. read Luke10 (25-37) Unfortunately, many of Christians are just namely Christians, not as a faith. Bless you bro once again
Celeste Bilderback Hahaha, sorry I didn't recognise your name in the beginning, I read it Castle in the first time (I am lazy too lol) .. the phrases says: the truly relative is the one who helps others, regardless of his/her faith, if there are two persons in front of you, a believer and an unbeliever, the one (any) who behaves good will be close to the heaven to be with Jesus Christ.
+TheBro I believe in religion, but Im a Christian (In facti am a missionary). In the book jeff wrote as an extension of this poem he does talk about religion in regards the Christianity being a religion but how its ore than that, it is a relationship. religion is real, its just not the point. and Christianity has religious aspects but there is weightier parts of it. read the book:) it is so good and not a very long read either!

@@Bobventk "literally a bunch of word's that mean nothing". reading this must have meant something to you, for you to reply. Plus I don't think there's nothing else people can say this about. Jesus loves you, and he did even before you were born.
Belieber since 2009 - hmmm... Jesus established His Church (Please read Matthew 16)... He(Jesus) Himself call the Apostles and He established Peter as a spokesmen to whom He gave the Keys of the Kingdom...
marta chamoun - i know that Truth Hurts! But the Catholic Church is the True Christian Church... St Athanasius (a Catholic bishop) said, " But beyond these saying let us look at the very tradition teaching and faith of the Catholic Church from the beginning which the Lord gave the Apostles preached and the Fathers kept upon this the Church is Founded and he who should fall away from it should not be a Christian and should no longer be so-called ".. Please read Church History... 😁
do you really still believe that prayers in a temple and doing worships is enough? we all know that jesus came to abolish the temple and the rocks and all the sacrifices that the humans make. You only need to speak with God to Be ALIVE !! I was a catholic for my whole life and I am telling you this.
See, this is why I despise a lot of atheists.....they are always so angry at people for believing in a god. If they aren't using their religious beliefs against you, don't use it against them
I love this, reborn and realised that you can spread the love and gospel and light with Jesus within you. “Church’s not a museum for good people, it’s a hospital for the broken.” We should be helping and healing out there, not just to make ourselves happy to attend something!😊
That's actually a false statement. I used to love this video and quoted it often but after careful study of scripture all these years later I find it incorrect. The CHURCH. Christ's church is for Jesus's sheep not the goats. Correct it is not a museum for good people this line is very reminiscent of seeker friendly churches. And that is heresy. The church is for the believer not the unbeliever. The believers are to go out into the world and bring the lost sheep to the flock. It is also not a hospital. It is a house of prayer to God the Father and worship of the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Unbelievers can not worship Him
As a Buddhist, I don't believe in God or Jesus. But I respect people that do. People like me have no right to say Christian people are very judgy, because that is a harsh judgement in and of itself. I respect that people have different belief systems, I may not personally believe these things but that has never stopped me from loving someone who does. Everyone should respect that everyone has a right to believe what they want, it's when we start forcing our thoughts on to someone else, that we have an issue.
Many are called but few are chosen. The truth is a narrow path and there are few that find it. When someone asked Jesus what religion he should be, Jesus simply said, take care of the widows and the orphans. He called us to Love. It was the religious leaders who arrested and murdered Jesus. If you judge single Mothers in a crisis pregnancy, you judge Mary who was pregnant out of wedlock. Having Jesus was a CRIME in her culture. If you judge poverty and homelessness, you judge Jesus. He was a homeless wanderer who never owned anything but a cross and even that was for us! If you say you stand for life but cave in to the pro choice argument. He wants you to know He entered the world as the least of us (which is a preborn baby scheduled for abortion) His purpose in life was to be murdered for our sin, just like they are! He also left the world like they do...innocent yet brutally tortured. Don't let occultic religion sugar coat His story. He was a man of many sorrows and chose to suffer with us
@@akolangtohsilorence2287 sir you should not look at others to fix you .some people were born to go to hell and if you fix your eyes on them you will go their with them .fix your eyes on JESUS and let them go fix you and you will see how wrong they truly is save your self
I agree, Amazing how well his descriptions are. He said what so many people are feeling but couldn't express, 100% facts. I love this so much. Very powerful.
Amen! I am not religious, i am a follower and lover of Christ. I obey His teachings. Not the rules of religion or church rules. That is not what Jesus is about, it is about picking up your cross and follow CHRIST. Remember what Jesus said to His disciples about the rules the Pharesees followed, it's not about the rules it's about love and Jesus is the way, God bless you.
Ruler of the Far East have never heard of Jesus for 2000 years until a group of Portugal missionaries came to the Far East. If you think a man walked on water then your tripping on your own ego
Close personal relationship as in what? My father and I have a close personal relationship, is Jesus going to be like my father and come over sit on my couch and watch the science channel and play a few video games with me? Or is it like a personal relationship like what I have with my girlfriend? Cause I'm not interested in going that far. No matter what way you look at it, saying you have a personal relationship with Jesus is silly. If you had a personal relationship it indicates he lives in the physical universe (meaning he is testable by science.) If he does not live in the physical universe then he has no impact on the physical universe (meaning praying would never work, and miracles would be impossible). Though it is apparent that prayer fails on many levels. www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/human_nature/2006/04/the_deity_in_the_data.html
Some people are so rude!!! Stopping hating in each other!! This man did not come here to bash any of you. But yet you come to his page to do what? It's sickening. Keep doing what you do and spreading the word of Love.
This is true It's quite unfortunate that this man is trying to spread a good message and send one on a right path, and then these militants come on the video to unravel their hate
+Walros Man. I have seen some hateful comments from you. I believe it might be coming from some deep down inner issues. I feel bad that you have these issues in your life, i truly hope you can get the help you need, because I believe everyone is a good person deep down, even you.. God bless you.
I had mixed emotions about this vid when it came out but definitely amened the essence of what he was trying to say...True, absolute real Christianity is Jesus Himself- the Way, the Truth, the Life and not churchianity bogged down in boring dogma. I attend a church and love it but I only love it because I found Jesus, first. Or I should say, He found me...
I remember hysterically crying watching this as a 7 year old when it first came out out. Feeling so many emotions I could not put into words. So many things I felt after my mom had me (not sent me but I went with friend after school) to church for the first time. I felt rejected at church my first time. At SEVEN YEARS OLD. I felt ashamed even as bisexual girl who’s mostly attracted to men. The “religious” narrative was a man and a women. As a child I knew nothing different but what I had pictured in my brain. After church it was clear that was not “normal” at ALL. and it was very clear to my father and he played this video to me to show that the Bible is what you make of it. It is not to make you. It’s a guideline. NOT a rule book. At 19 years old listening I have the same reaction. Although my dad’s not in my life and God knows that, I pray that my dad knows he leaded me heavily through my relationship with god✝️
I watched this video 5 years ago after clicking on it in somebody’s Instagram bio. I didn’t know Jesus and did not have any Christians in my life, but after watching this I watched another video of Jefferson sharing the gospel at a youth conference and I accepted Jesus right there in my bedroom that night and then started following Jesus with my whole life! And I have been for almost 5 years now! God can work through amazing ways. Thank you Jefferson for sharing the gospel with me and changing my life!!!!!!!
WOW!!! God bless you! kindheartministries.org July 22, 2020 I just saw Jesus and He was shining with light and smiling at me. He said to me, “It’s time to go, Beloved. My emissaries are on their way. Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? And now, why dost thou tarry? Pack up thy things and come with Me to a land which I shall show thee, which thou knewest no heretofore. Dost thou ask about thy instructions? Even this: Be ready to leave! For in a moment I call thee unto Myself, and will gather you into My Arms. Be not slack among them that sleep, but go and say to him that readeth, ‘Shalom be unto you. Unto the seven churches write, Thus saith the Son of God who hath His eyes like a flame of fire. I see thy works, and the last to be more than the first. Wherefore dost thou slumber among those that sleep? Get up! For He that calleth thee is on His way. Thou shalt never sorrow any more. Wherefore art thou so concerned for the cares of this life? In an instant they shall vanish, like My beloved when I return to rescue them, saith the Lord, the Most High over all the earth. Return unto Me and make your hearts new before Me at My Coming, so shall I not have to destroy you with the wicked. Wherefore do they say, ‘It is a long way off. We have time.’? No, beloved. It is nigh, even at the doors. Thou shalt see in that Day when I lift thee up above thy adversaries, that it was near to come. Do what thou canst while it is called day. For the night cometh when no man can work. Go, and say to them of the nations upon whom My Name is called, ‘I am coming to rescue you!’ Get up and be prepared, that thy garments may be spotless at My Coming. I see thy works, how thou hast provided for the poor. In that day thou shalt be as a signet before Me, saith thy God. I will reward you even before them that have despised and scorned you, saying, ‘What can this girl do?’ With My right Hand I lift thee up and thou shalt ever behold My Face. For I come to reward the living and the dead after their deeds. I said not in vain that your works do follow you beyond the grave. Look up! Behold, He comes with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they which pierced Him. And they shall mourn, every family and every tribe apart, in the Day that I do this, saith the Lord. Then shall they lament, saying, ‘Why did we not believe His prophets? They told us so many times that His coming was imminent and we cast their words aside like a useless thing.’ But you, beloved, spare not to share the words thou hast heard, and that in which I shall appear unto thee, lest men’s blood be on thy hands. Go in My might, and declare to him that readeth, ‘Sin no more! Be washed and made whole in the Blood of the Lamb.’ And behold, I am with those that uphold thy spirit. Peace be to thee. Shalom.” You can read more of my visions and messages from the Lord at kindheartministries.org The Lord has been taking me into the Throne Room for three and a half years and I’ve had amazing experiences!

This is exactly like saying "Why do doctors study cancer cells. when they don't like cancer?" Religion is bad, you can't hate a god you don't believe in but I can say I do NOT like religion. Religion ≠ God
I think some atheist are actually misotheist. Then a lot of others have been hurt by believers. Think of all the little children sexual abused ,then controlled by people using the fear of God . Do you have any atheist friends?
I watched this video 10 years ago when my faith is shaken and this video pops up to me out of nowhere. Went through my ups and downs of faith. Had a life crisis around 2015, almost became an atheist until God turned my life around by answering my prayer when I thought my life is just over. I finally learnt that I can be happy, that life is really a blessing not a curse. I found grace. But it wasn't happily ever after since then. Life has been tough, the ups and downs did not stop. Struggle is always around the corner. But the difference is, I know my God is alive and I know I want to be faithful to and for my God. Today I watch this video as a reminder of how far I've come in my faith. "church is not a musuem of good people, but a hospital for the broken" the message sticks. Jeff's other video about "Wilderness, Depression, & Stars in the Night" also sticks. I am truly thankful for his videos. Truly has been a blessing. I hope others also found this video as a blessing. If you're reading this far, God bless you! May we continue to grow and be blessings for others today!
I am atheist and just clicked on this because I felt like I should. I truly like this. I am very satisfied by this. His thoughts on religion just made my day.
you should try Jesus my dear friend..... this life is so short...Just try to find a church and meet some christians who can help you to know more about jesus! Stay blessed!!
I have gone to Christian [private] schools since junior high. Of course, I have been exposed to the religious, political idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies, by virtue of people's actions and true [Pharisee-like] character, which could have definitely contributed to justifiable atheism. Fortunately I recognized Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Father in the context of their own character, love, grace and truth abounding towards me uniquely. 🕆🎉👍 A man more than a man; a teacher more than a teacher; a prophet more than a prophet: Christ was, is, and always shall be [John 14:6]: I thank God I don't have a mere religion about Him... but a [true] relationship with Him. Blessings everybody!
Abigail Fischer The reason why you like this is because it's the Truth. Even if you are an atheist we all love you and I'll pray that God will give you an open heart to accept his amazing gift! God bless you and be well in the Lord!
That was beautiful. I literally just cried. Struggling with being a spiritualist and wether or not to explore christianity.. You just called out my fears of the church.
I like Buddhism, but I don’t identify with either. Grew up with religion. I think it’s important to know you’re put on this earth to learn about your soul to make peace and grow by learning to have compassion towards yourself. Something even religion won’t tell you, but the comfort of god. It’s really powerful. Life is a series of growing with pain and learning to get rid of what never belonged to you in the first place. Either way, I hope you find inner peace. You are doing just fine on your path.
@@hllyenaylleth9576 This is not the place for this, I pray for your soul to the Lord and ask for immediate intercession into your life and heart. May he show you the mercy and bring you close to Him as He sees fit to shed light on your life through death. Amen.
Albert Nyakundi . With all of your human logic you do not understand how much wieght is in that line he just said. Maybe your just too "smart" to understand. If you understand the love God has for you, you would have understood that line.
Grace Of God it is second rate rhyming and the fact that it impresses you is an indicator to me that you are more concerned about selling the nonsense than looking at the artistic merits of a religious poem. This isn't impressive to me...yeah because talking snakes and donkeys are real things. Spare me!
Grace Of God note the only logic available is human logic. You claiming something else is really rich. Some humility here..you dont know and stop claiming you do because you know what happens when we ask for verifiable evidence now dont we? Sell the message..money must be made. Stop pretending there is more to it.
Growing up my family attended the Catholic Church and when as I grew I began to question God. In high school I found this video and I loved it, but it didn’t resonate with me. I became an adult and fell into a deep darkness and the night I wanted to end my life, God came down to me. It felt like He took all the bricks that were placed on my chest and in a few minutes of silence I heard Him speak to me. I laid there for what seemed like hours. I now know why I loved this video. I’m so happy and grateful that God gave me enough life to get to know Him on a much deeper level. Religion doesn’t resonate with me, but Jesus does. ❤️
Follow the White rabbit Peter means small stone, but that doesn’t make him a pope. What Jesus said to him was in response to Peter’s answer to the question: “who do you day I am?” Who JESUS is (the savior) is the foundation of our faith. If Jesus is NOT the savior and if his death and resurrection failed (If he failed His mission), then the foundation of Christianity crumbles. No death & resurrection = no foundation: upon THIS rock, He built His church!
I don't want to comment on the historical or theological merits of his poem or whether being republican or independent is of any value but rather on the intrinsic truth of his proclamations. GRACE was revealed by Jesus and it's the only currency recognized by divine power. God bless you man. I like the distinction you have drawn between the two.
sedzi dickson Its not thoses who are spiritually blind that don't believe in god.. its the ones who lack the imagination that don't believe.. they lost their childish innocence and are now stuck in a world when everything is black and white..
***** There are only theories about the origin of religions but regardless, it is human nature to question things.If religions never existed do you not think we would still believe in a higher power? All we need to do is look around. The oceans, mother nature , the universe, the creation of another life etc . Everything follows a perfect order and man would have questioned the how who and why of these wonders.In my opinion the belief in a higher power would have occured without man made religions.My relationship with God is a personal one .I do not want or need a mind controlling organisation to judge me and tell me to fear God . Contrary to what religions preach, God does not judge.God is perfect LOVE .No judgment, No ego.
I agree.God is universal energy/intelligence. A power of LOVE so great , far beyond our comprehension. A man in the sky with a long white beard ready to judge people? lol..Do people still believe this? aaah yes the religious brainwashing mentality.Not for me thanks.😊
Joanna cheikho life is a byproduct from the big bang. Simplefied: we were an accident. there is no 'intelligent energy' or something like that. we do not have a purpose. and indeed religion is fucking stupid. i think it is weird that people feel the need to have some sort of god, even the one you describe. why can't we just be here because it just happend?
I watched this video on Day 1. 12 years later, this video is still pinned to the top of my heart. Religion was used to slave the minds and hearts of people. I freed myself of Religion 12 years ago and opened my heart, my mind, and my life to GOD.
He does love everyone, including rich people, but he hates the sinful traits that a stereotypical rich person has, pride, greed, gluton.... he calls us all to give up what we have to follow him, regardless of our class of wealth.
Amen Brother! 2 Corinthians 3:6. It says: “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

I remember watching this years ago when I was 14 I think, Woow how far God has brought is crazy I still have a long way to go but this video and many more that you made before you got married was catalyst for where I am now. Praise God
Thanks to the Bible and all the intolerance, bigotory, misogny, homophobia, silly absurd stories, and Jesus (the invisible make believe friend) I became an athesists.
@@125minden Sorry to hear that. I respect your opinion. This TH-cam channel may help with any problems regarding the Bible; th-cam.com/users/jointhebibleproject ❤✌
Daniella Davis That tells me nothing. Clearly you have not read the Bible. Many other Christain haven't either, and they treat it similar to software agreement, and just scroll right down to the bottom and tick "yes"
When you Believe in JESUS, you Believe in God, because the SON of God is THE God of the O.T. and HE came in the NAME of His Father (i.e. JESUS is the NAME of the FATHER) El Shaddai YHWH JESUS CHRIST (Elohim: Father and Word and Spirit) bless you and your family!

If I may offer a question: 2:21 “I still follow the Bible, God, and yes I believe in sin” How can you hate a particular religion when you follow its holy book? Seems inconsistent. Even more confusing is when he starts saying “Christianity” instead of Jesus. “Religion is the poison, Christianity is the cure” Christianity IS a religion. Isn’t Jesus supposed to be the cure? Because initially he seems to be advocating the formation of an entirely separate religion that follows Jesus but in a completely different way with different tenets, like Judaism, perhaps? idk. Maybe I’m just dumb.
Bradley Toccata Bradley Toccata Oh and the line Religion is poison wasn’t there, I think he said infection. Christianity is the cure - because spending time in prayer and meditating on The Word gives peace to the soul.
Stella Saranya sure. Infection, poison, effectively it’s making the same point. And why do you need Christianity to ponder and meditate on the word around you? There’s nothing inherently religious about that
Bradley Toccata Meditate on the WORD, meaning on the Bible. Also sorry, another thing you asked in your previous comment : Christianity according to Wikipedia might be a religion. But if you ask a true Christian - It’s a ‘relationship’ that you build everyday with God. So I guess what he means by religion here is - all the other religions/world views (including lukewarm Christianity)
This is my absolute favorite poem! When I first heard it, I was brand new to have a relationship with Jesus. This young man really helped me with this Spoken Word. I quote from it all the time. Thank Jefferson Bethke!
The views are great but ,the message is not clear .Religion is man made.We are all children of god .He is our father .We tend to follow the bible but seldom understand the meaning of its message .Interpretation is in our mind .just like doing bad or good .lt's always up to the individual.All religion .Hindu ,Muslim ,Christian and others teaches philosophy .
I felt like I was lead to this to like god wanted me to know this and I'm glad he brought me hear I needed this now the only problem is would anyone else on this world care to know or to understand this topic
I love this so much! I see many times where Jesus is mistaken as religion, and that's not true because Jesus is the Lord of all, who came down to us to die and rise again for our sins. He is God and He wants to have a relationship with us! 🕆❤☝
If Christianity is relationship with God, that would mean that all people who claims to be Christians are true believers in Christ. Which is not true. Christianity is just religion. Our Lord Jesus didnt come here to establish a religion., but a church.
Martin Kraina He didn’t come to establish the church, he came to save it, which He did: “it is finished.” He didn’t come to lay down laws or set traditions, he fulfilled “the law and the prophets.” His mission was to be the Savior, and He is. Those who believe He came to help us do works are sorely mistaken, for we are totally depraved and incapable of any good without Him. It is ONLY though Jesus Christ, we can receive redemption. “No man comes to the father except through me.” No ifs, ands, or buts, pure and simple.
Judge Dredd You are wrong. Jesus said “On this rock i will build my church” . Who creates the church of Jesus Christ? Everyone who believes truly in Jesus Christ and what he has done for us. So after his death and resurrection everyone who believed in the gospel was part of this church. Also, faith without works is a dead faith. It requires works, the requires works of your faith. When you are tested thats when the works comes by trusting in God. And also when you fail God, when you sin, it requires works of repentance.
Regardless of all the negative, atrocious commentary, I'm so grateful and blessed to be loved by a creator who selflessly gave his son so we would not sleep the eternal sleep of death. That we do wrong but are forgiven, and in our faith and works of faith helping where we can, we'll see Jesus come again. I pray for every single person who has hate in their heart, who hurts, and who starves, and I'd love to have the power myself to undo all the wrongdoing that happens every day. I'm inherently flawed and born in sin and subject to human emotion, but I choose to love even those who choose to hate--even the people who speak so vilely about other people, I love my neighbors. Thank you for this video. In scripture, I love to go to the words directly quoted by Jesus, and when I think of the courage of his disciples--who all but one died horrible deaths for their beliefs, because they would not deny their faith--and I know that nobody would condemn themselves to death for a lie. Even when given the opportunity to deny it, the true disciples didn't deny Jesus and the resurrection. It's also uncanny that a book written by 40 different people over 3000 years is cohesive even in what is misconstrued as contradiction. Even when great libraries perished the bible still remains. Faith is in the heart, and people have free will to choose. I choose God, and in that, I choose mercy, grace, and the kind of love that isn't of this earth.
dagoose109 Perhaps they all have, but I can't read into all of their hearts to know what they do or don't believe in; I can only speak for myself and personal feelings and experiences. My husband converted from Buddhism (of his own accord before we married without my prompting), and he never said anything about a Buddhist god, but there are a lot of rituals for peace and good fortune. It's a shame I never learned languages beyond Spanish and German, because the chanting is beautiful. I go to the Buddhist temple at times at his parents request, because they are beautiful people and I respect them. It's peaceful there, and I have tremendous admiration for the monks who live on the property for their dedication and sacrifice. We always bring essentials or money to buy toiletries and food for them (it is a small, humble temple with beautiful gardens). They never ask, though, not the way I used to be hammered for tithes for "building funds" and the like. I shied away from church buildings long ago and usually share fellowship with a few people in smaller group settings. I know Muslims worship Allah (their word for God) but the Quran is incredibly violent (granted, the Old Testament and parts of the new are, too, but wow! I'd hate to be an infidel caught in the upheaval of ISIS). I haven't studied the Hindu faith in detail, which is a shame on me (I consider different perspectives and knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and I have a keen fascination of science). As far as New Agers, I have no clue what they believe, so I should brush up there, too. I do know that on forums where we are who we are or together in person, I have friendly discussions with pagans and other people of different religions, and my own cousin is an Atheist who I love dearly. We agree to believe differently, and our kids play together. I don't push myself on everyone or tell anyone they're wrong, because ultimately we all have a choice. If someone is receptive to what I have to say, I happily share. Everything I do, I try to do with an open mind and heart, and I'm the first to defend and the last to condemn another human being. Until I'm perfect (which will be never), I can't be judge or jury. I don't call the shots. It's not always easy, because so many people resort to trivial malice for malice sake, and there have been times I haven't taken the high ride, but I wake up each day, pray and try. A long answer to a short question, but I tend to get a bit verbose at times. Thank you for your question, though, and giving me a few things to study. I'll be a student until I draw my last breath, even though I graduated college 12 years ago.
Amberr Meadows _I'm so grateful and blessed to be loved by a creator who selflessly gave his son so we would not sleep the eternal sleep of death. That we do wrong but are forgiven_ *vomits* If you actually read the bible, it says that is supposed to be omniscience which is later disproved by... wait for it... the bible! If you believe God is all knowing then Jesus "sacrifice" is NOT a sacrifice, because God would have known about it before he spoke the universe into existence (which scriptures dispute). Omniscience makes the garden tale into a cosmic set up where the all knowing God is simply going through the motions of the garden awaiting the failure of men which it MUST have foreseen, for a truly all knowing God will see whatever we will choose despite our free will as it is timeless. Hence when it shows regret in the flood tale it reveals it is not all knowing. The Jesus tale puts the Judaic practice of blood sacrifice for forgiveness of sins into the realm of the human sacrifice (divine, demigod, pick your denomination). This also belittle the God concept as it puts requirements upon the great I am, it can speak REALITY into existence but cannot forgive an act it must have foreseen without human blood sacrifice? If this is the best a god can do, I'm not impressed.
Zasz Fortunately God isn't concerned with your impression of him, and omniscience was never disproved in the bible. There has been significant misinterpretation in the book of Genesis over the simple word "to know", but there are several interpretations of the meaning of the word when translated from Hebrew and Greek. However, clearly stated in the book of Isaiah, God states his omniscience. "Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose." (Isaiah 46:10). Unless you understand the significance of why Jesus was the only human being capable of fulfilling an ancient covenant as a human blood sacrifice, you fail to understand that free will is indeed free will, and God will always do what is right and just. I'm sorry if my beliefs makes you nauseous and invoke your disdain or disapproval, but there's scripture about people like you, too. "Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."(1 Peter 5:8). I'm not swayed by your logic, of lack thereof, because I am vigilant, but I will pray for you. God bless.
Amberr Meadows _Fortunately God isn't concerned with your impression of him_ That kinda makes the whole worshipping pointless, doesnt it? _and omniscience was never disproved in the bible_ "Hence when it shows regret in the flood tale it reveals it is not all knowing." _There has been significant misinterpretation in the book of Genesis over the simple word "to know", but there are several interpretations of the meaning of the word when translated from Hebrew and Greek_ A comman excuse. The book is only as much worth as you interpret. _However, clearly stated in the book of Isaiah, God states his omniscience._ Claiming it multiple times doesnt make it true. An all knowing god should have forseen that his book will be misinterpreted. Did he intervene? No. Did he order a new book to be written? No. So either he doesnt care or doesnt exist. Take your pick or make up more excuses. _Unless you understand the significance of why Jesus was the only human being capable of fulfilling an ancient covenant as a human blood sacrifice..._ Scapegoating never solved anything. And its immoral btw. _you fail to understand that free will is indeed free will_ Oh of COURSE. Free to get MS & leukemia, free to lose all in an earthquake. Makes sense... _and God will always do what is right and just_ Ordering scapegoating is neither right nor just. The idea that the christian god is just, is directly contradicted by the idea that the christian god is merciful. Perfect justice and any mercy are necessary directly in contradiction because mercy is a suspension of justice. _but there's scripture about people like you, too. "Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."_ Uh... Im so scared now... _I'm not swayed by your logic, of lack thereof_ You being unable to understand the concept of morality doesnt really qualify to judge my logic. _but I will pray for you_ You think your god will alter his "divine" plan because an insignificant worm wants the stars to be realigned? Really?
ZlNATRA I don't believe in Jesus. I merely like some of his "teachings" in the Bible. Just as I listen to some of the teachings from shows I watch. That doesn't make them real, does it?
Lynx Star Automotive I'm not agnostic. In fact, I'm a gnostic atheist towards personal gods. If you're not familiar with the term, it means that I think it is impossible for personal gods (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc.) to exist.
Over the course of about 10 years, I've seen this video at least 20 times...maybe 40, I don't know. I've shared it just as many times. "I love The Book. I love all that it contains. What I have issue with is the people that claim the same." --myself “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” ― Brennan Manning
This is my testimonial something that y’all never heard of in church testimonials: I grew up in a religious household , I got depression, reached out to them and to the this person in the church was supposed to be the leader for the youth but no one cared. I’m still in this dark times where everyone I grew up in turned away on me. Never I heard a testimonial about that. During those times, all I had was the this little hope that everything is going to get better. At the end, God made me realize it’s not about religion. Loving him is not about being religious, reading bible and going to church. God taught me a completely different way somethjng that I never heard of in church testimonials and I broke down crying. Because religion did not allow me to learn who he really is. It completely changed me not to the church I used to wanted.
Thats a Powerful story you told.. i see the way christians act and the hatred and racism in their hearts,, im a christian but im totally not sure i want to be a christian in a religious sense.. im starting to beleive that God is bigger than any Holy Book or religions. The church you went too, there are actually some churches out there that work kind of like cults.. signs of a cult are rules , they have many rules and you must not question the pastor or leadership and they tell you that if you leave, that you are out of The Will Of God and will go to hell and backslide and if a person leaves, they experience shunning. shunning is when people of that group no longer talk to you and associate with you. also another sign of a cult is that the leader tells the members that they are the only chuch thats actually preaching truth and all other churches are lukewarn!! these are signs of a cult
@ARIEL MITCHELL I have a suggestion. You could take a moment to look at all the things that God has done for you. In addition think of all the things He has in store for you. Try to think of Him more than some ordinary “god”, but as a friend. Someone who is always willing to stick up for you and won’t leave your side. I read your comment and really felt for your situation. I knew I had to reply back. 🙂🙂🙂
@ARIEL MITCHELL Of course Christianity isn’t just a rule book, after accepting Jesus into your life you have to make changes to your life where they are needed. Also yes you can talk to God whenever you want to because He is always listening to you. He hears your thoughts and loves to hear your prayers. It’s important to make a habit of prayer so that it’s not just you asking for things but also thanking Him for the things He has done for you. Even just talking to Him about random things throughout your day is great too. If you don’t go to church already you should talk to a pastor more in depth to this.
Amazing how this message goes past some people's heads. Before I found God, I was about as atheist as they come and I didn't see that changing any time soon (although instead of proselytizing my nonbeliefs and repeating anti-theist propaganda on as many youtube vids as I could, I actually had a life, and still do). As a former nonbeliever, what I really want to do is apologize to Christians for most of the rude and ignorant anti-theist comments on this vid (which they obviously didn't understand). The comments that are insulting a Christian's intelligence and belief system as if some irrelevant insect on TH-cam is going to change a whole person's way of life. Please grow up. I would also appreciate it if holier-than-thou "Christians" didn't tell atheists that they are going to suffer when they die (as for me, I didn't believe in hell so I never lost my shit when an overly-religious asshole said that to me, I just ignored them). If you don't believe in God like I didn't use to, then whatever. I hope you find something in this life that makes you happy and not be so cynical & condescending towards people who do not share your beliefs. Regardless of your view on religion and God (a huge mistake to synchronize them together), there's no need to be so aggressive when sharing your beliefs (or synchronize God with "religion"). Peace.
I'd say that anyone can be angry and mean and rude to someone that belives in faireytails and reads a book that promotes slavery, killing children, killing adulters, and cutting of womens hands....But i thought christianity was good i thought it didnt promote violence. Just forget about all this stuff written in books that is man made. Believe in a God that just created the universe but dont make your beliefs come from books which is feom humans disgusting opnions.
To separate and become more that 150 denominations and cause mass confusion about salvation. Ask stupid question expect stupid answer.. You thought wrong James
I meant that he was calling sinners to “repentance”, as you said. Just wanted a reiteration on that. He wasn’t calling them to abandon the law and all organized religion including the church as the video suggests.
"Its not a museum for the good people, its a hospital for the broken" such a good saying for how churches should be. We dont get to heaven because of our good deeds, we get to heaven by accepting that we are broken and evil and that we need jesus to make us whole.
To free yourself from hell is the truth of the only MAN GOD accepted. Your book of sins would never allow you into Heaven, for nothing that defiles shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven!. Yet after all you done the promised gift of your belief in GOD'S only begotten SON He will remove your corrupt book of life the sinful life we all have led and replace it with HIS PERFECT BOOK!. Without Him doing that you will not make it. Yet there is a clause. If your heart is false so shall your judgement be and hellbound all will be. Phoney Christian's never get past the Love of the truth....unless they pass the test.
Kenneth W. Lovette and there’s no way to convincingly lie to god because he can see everything you’ve done and all that’s in your heart. If your heart is not with him & you don’t truly believe in him that’s the one sin that I’m pretty sure can’t be forgiven. Unfortunately it seems it’s the hardest thing to convince other people to do, to search for god and listen.
We are not evil. We are human. We were not born in sin. We are sparks of God, and we are here to experience polarity and free will, for God. It's a temporary assignment. It's a school for soul expansion. But, I repeat, we are not intrinsically evil.
It's a shame how far over people's heads this poem went. Even as a militant atheist I can appreciate the words and meaning behind this poem, beautifully done honestly. Funny enough a lot of the comments here help prove how poisonous and deadly religion is to humanity, and why it's truly an evil thing.
"He took the crown of thorns and the blood drips down his face. He took what we all deserve; I guess that's why you call it grace." I'm sorry, I can't appreciate the fact that he is in the religious mindset that we are all sinners and we all deserve such brutal torment. He is using wordplay to try and distinct the two (Jesus and religion), but really doesn't. In the end, it's still a religion.
TylerMantup Of course worshiping Jesus can be considered a religion, I mean after all the very definition of religion is the worship of a deity or the supernatural, however like with almost all poetry if you go into it with a literal mindset the effect will almost surely be lost on you. It's rather clear with the references he makes that this wasn't disowning worship altogether but rather organized religion. Don't get me wrong however... we're on the same side regarding Christianity, as I view it along with other religions as poisonous blood cult and would prefer to live in a world with no faith at all, however this guy was simply recognizing the undeniable issues with organized religion. The faith one follows is irrelevant if they're capable of opening their eyes to the detrimental effects that blindly following has, which is something he demonstrated quite eloquently. We could get into the nitty gritty that technically following the word of Jesus is blindly following, but that would do nothing more than bring us full circle.
wow! i just gained mad respect for you, for speaking such WELL words....... and interestingly enough the word WELL in the LATIN means "BEAUTIFUL"!!! may God bless you! :)
TheDisruptedMind Why give up on faith if 75% of the world in poverty. Churches are a good thing because there the most charitable to the poverty. It gives people hope and strength. We live in a world where this is the practice world into the next one. Shouldn't people have a second chance in a new world. Especially the poverty. People already destroyed this world and look how capitalism has become immoral on our society. 1% of the world owns all the wealth. Wealth distribution is not idealistic at all but wrong because there's people still living under a dollar a day.
Ronald Dinoso It's still false hope though. Granted who knows, it's unlikely but perhaps there is a heaven and a hell. However more than likely when we die that'll be the end of it, and in the end that person would have spent their life chasing a rainbow only to find no pot of gold at the end of it. I personally find living and dying in false hope, viewing this precious life as only practice like you said, to be one of the most tragic things imaginable. I find it even more tragic that some people, not centering anything at you don't misunderstand me, only give to charity or help the poor because of a sense of moral obligation. At the very least the people giving to the charities will be the ones who truly want to do the right thing and not because of "Big Brother" watching them like a hawk, judging every action. Regarding the economy I see what you mean, however it's subjective.

People get religion and Christian mixed up... They think it's the same thing, and it's not. He spells it out so well, you can be religious but not a Christian, but you can also be a Christian and not religious.

Joy Dorsett we don’t need to gather in a four walled church. The people of God ARE the church.

This is like a Christian's perfect poem for the 21st century. When my friends ask, "Are you religious?" I always so no, that I am a Christian. I don't see my faith as a religion, I see it as my life, its who I am not what I try to be
We apply the label of "religion" to belief and worship of a supernatural being. It doesn't matter what you call yourself. Me saying I am not a human, or a living being, because I don't like the term, doesn't mean that I am not a human or alive, nor does it mean that the definitions of those words have changed, I am simply wrong.

Saw this as a senior in high school in 2012. Born and raised catholic, became an atheist in high school, and after that I was deep in new age in my early 20s. Jesus saved me at 25 years old. This video is a reminder that He was after me all those years.
Can you explain what new age means to you
Your testimony goes the same like mine. Religious Christian, atheism, new age, than 2020 Jesus made me see the truth 💞🙌🏼
How did you find peace with Jesus outside of the church and this religion madness ?
Come back home to the Catholic Church. If you left, it’s because you didn’t truly understand it, and it’s not your fault. We Catholics have done a poor job of teaching Catholics the faith.
@@Brenda5587 the fact that anyone can say "Jesus made me see the truth" unironically is just so sad to me. Get some education please.
I really needed this. I can love God because he first loved me but I absolutely Hate the religious ideology. It just stresses me out.
No body is perfect
That's why deism exists
Now let me clarify,. I love the church, I love the Bible, and I believe in sin. But if Jesus came to your church, would they actually let him in? I LOVE THAT. Absolutely love it!!
If Jesus came to somebody’s church, He would force Himself in
@@rubenthompson5900 if it were necessary but remember Jesus does not force anything on anyone that's part of love. However he does save the ones who want to be saved. I believe that wholeheartedly.
@@Travsvisionchannel I believe that to claim that Jesus won’t force Himself into an environment is to say He is not sovereign
I love Jesus, don't really like much of the Bible, and am a natural skeptic who has felt a draw towards Jesus but does not like how many conduct themselves in the church.
I think die hard Christians who have been religious often forget that there are so many just trying to make sense of life and wanting signs to show they are on the right path. I just watched a video where a Christian was saying he will offend non-believers if it helps them get into heaven.
The problem I see is fundamentally that people use religion as ego-fuel much of the time. Obviously not all Christians but the showy aspect some engage with is very antithetical to what I feel resonates with me. Give me nature, time alone with animals and reaching out in my own way. I also think proselytizing is also very problematic, as so many have been wounded by the church.
There are like these two extremes I feel when it comes to Christians....many are very loving and kind, and many are very judgmental and cruel and only superficially loving and kind.
I totally get why skeptics are often wary.
I wish that no matter what we could all remember we are all little humans in a vast universe, we all have dealt with likely some form of trauma, and every living creature wants to feel loved, acknowledged and respected.
If we just park our ego, quietly pray but show consistently a lack of judgment and a lack of shunning....the world could be so beautiful.
But I see a lot of the opposite from those who profess to be all about love, sometimes.
On Bended Knee we would rejoice Praise Jesus the one God we must go to

Prophet Muhammad PBUH could not read or write and was from a desert with no Arabic bibles during this time, this is the evidence for the Quran for those seeking truth, these scientific miracles have only been discovered recently some being in the 20th century.
Big Bang theory and humans being made from water : “Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We opened them out? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? “ 21:31
And We have built the heaven with might and We continue to expand it indeed.
Holy Quran 51:48 - This astonishing verse does not just tell us that the universe has expanded. The arabic ‘la-mūsiʿūna’ tells us that the universe is continuing to expand.
Evolution “What is the matter with you that you do not ascribe dignity to Allah? And certainly he has created you in stages… And Allah has raised you from the Earth like the raising of vegetation.” Holy Quran 71; 15-16, 18
these are just three examples but there are many more if you research, such as the seas that don’t mix, also the preservation of the Quran and how it has never been corrupted unlike the bible, and the development of the human in the mothers womb.
Jesus PBUH was a Muslim meaning he submitted his will to the one true god and even preached this in the bible, Moses PBUH also preaches this in the Ten Commandments, surely the conception of god Christian’s have would not make this so confusing to worship three gods and contradict the original old testament, we are not in a sinful state doomed but can repent and come to god and he will forgive us. Wake up
I'm not religious. I'm in a relationship with Jesus Christ ❤ He saved my life
How?
+Tinyan Odiase ME also had a similar life like yours. I was pretty messed up, taking drugs, getting drunk, self harming myself, bitter to those who did harm to me, held on to much of the past and not letting go until one day I picked the bible up and started reading it. I found that everything you read in the bible it shows you how to live a better and happier life. It did wonders to me. Our Jesus Christ is the way and is the light. And I really agree what you say about your not religious instead it's a relationship between you and christ. That's all he wants from Us is to love him and except him by faith. God bless you 🙌🙏➕
Natalia 12 Wow that's an amazing testimony! It brought tears to my eyes cause I know how hard life used to be and i'm so grateful that Jesus brought us out of that and into His perfect love. God bless you too girl! ❤❤

I pray for your understanding in these matters and hope you find a deeper connection with scripture and the Holy Bible and Catholic Church. Keep searching neighbor and friend in Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.

It’s amazing how God can change somebody. Years and years ago I watched this and was offended, it didn’t make sense. 5 years later I’ve lived it and am born again. I changed my dislike into a like.
And once your eyes are one day opened to what the demons are up to in a loose self defined spiritual position with no tradition or authority...you might be REALLY offended and return to your roots.
Actually read the Bible from cover to cover I promise you you will see the light and become an atheist
@@matthewaleman4401 no it wouldnt. In fact reading the bible from Begining to end would make the faith stronger. Granted if you don't believe and your heart is hardend you wont understand, but if you believe and you have humbled yourself you would gain much in reading the bible from start to finish.
lews I guess you think that sexism murder and incest is holy and righteous
I’m experiencing the same thing. I thought I was the only one
I have been struggling recently with my relationship with Christ and fell into new age practices. I struggled trying to be fulfilled on the inside and I realized that nothing else in this world can fulfill me like Christ. Jesus just spoke to me in this video letting me know that he is not religion but he is love. I am a believer again❤️ love for all my brothers and sisters
That’s it, Jesus has led us to Love, the eliminator of sin without even focussing on sin and being bound by it condemning ourselves for every mistake. Now our measure of who we are is by the grace of Jesus. No more sin focussing for me because learning to love has made me such a better individual. It saved my marriage and many broken relationships, which legalism destroyed. Amen 🙏
I say this so often and it’s really that simple. Jesus is love. If you look at everything you’ve been taught and change it. Instead looking at it through the eyes of love, everything changes. It’s hard for people to take the religion that has been drilled in their head for their lifetime and simplify it to just love. But it’s not JUST love. It’s huge. Profound. Endless. Love. Love encompasses All!
Peace and love, may God continue to bless you ❤️.

@GFish 17 Whatever led u astray from Him, I hope u know he will continue to love u. Hes always waiting for you to come back to him.
and im sorry for whatever happened that made u leave out of his love.
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:35-39 NLT
Whatever led u astray from him, just know bad things do not come from God- but from Satan.
For the evil things of this world does nothing more than Kill and destroy us. God is good.
Im sorry for whatever led u astray from him. whatever has happened, God is still looking out for u. this life is not easy. whatever has happened, U will be okay. I promise man. u got this okay?

Everyone WHO speaks up, for Jesus, is doing the most important work in this life!!!
Yeah I wonder why pastors who's lively hood depends on butts in the seats would continue to push such a message..... lets see.... what could possibly be motivating this "divine message".

Amen

I will always speak up for him now god bless💙🙏🏻
I know I’m 8 years late. Don’t care. Thank you for this. Truly.
@illinoisben Where in the Bible does it say that? Jesus according to the Bible died For all the Sins According to gods will.
To know the son is to know the Father. Jesus supposedly acts only according to gods will.
Now personally I don't believe in any of this as a fact but one must know the Lore.

@@ravenalainabby why do you believe in god(s)?
I come back about once a year and listen to it again. Still so good and so much truth.
People are ripping on this guy's poem saying it doesn't have enough "taste" or isn't poetic enough. You guys do realize it's so much more than a poem. It's a message, it's something that is way bigger than you can imagine. What he said in 4 minutes was something that looked like something small and stupid to someone with a closed mind. but to a hopeless person this is something huge on their perspective of God and could possibly bring them to a new and loving life.
Yes.. too bad it's all bullshit
drakkeur Not at all. It tells people to love their neighbor as they love themself, which isnt bad.
uncle sam Aha, I wish it was only that did you even read the bible ?
drakkeur From cover to cover. (Even though that isn't the intended way) So now I need to know did you?
If you have read the entire thing and still think, it ONLY tells people to love their neighbor and "good" stuff, and that there it encourage no negative behavior, Im done with you and i don't wan't to waste my time.
Who else is still watching this 6 years later.
Jay Nyendwa another person you should check out is Tireo. He is another great truth speaker. He is preaching much truth in these wicked last days. He talks about the real black Jesus(not that race matters, it’s just who the true Jesus was), relationship>religion, the sprit realm, hearing God, fasting, the spirit realm, false religions(Jesus never told us to be Christians) and way more. His messages are deep and eye opening. If the Lord is leading you to check out his videos, you should. I have a playlist of his most important videos. God bless you

People who don't know what religion is or Who Jesus is.
Christianity is still a religion, but this guy's right because it's MORE than a religion. It goes further than any religion does. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Actually, Christianity is not a religion, it is a Relationship. You can not call yourself a Christian if you don't live it out, if you don't follow what he says. Just sayin' :D

+SolarPenguin Can't remember that verse. Was that in revelation? There was mention Christ would come with an army near the end.
Hans Smirnov it was either John or revelation. But that doesn't sound like what people would. All a good person.
SolarPenguin Did you mean call a good person? I can't remember any line like that in John, so you'll need to find that verse. It's possible you confused a couple of verses or heard something second-hand that was wrong.
Years later, still coming back to this.
If people actually read the Bible they would know Jesus warns against religion because religions only preach their own doctrine and, if you don't do what they say, then they say you're going to hell. They do not preach the Word of GOD.
Anna Davis that is exactly what the religion of christianity says?
What does that even mean ?
Jesus speaks against the traditions of men, which were making void the commands of God. Do not twist the Scriptures and bring greater judgment on yourself. Repent and trust in Christ for your salvation.
But wasn’t Jesus a Jew I’m confused
@@ihat3friday832 He was but not in the same way people are Jewish today
This video is for Christians. Other people won't understand because they don't know what he's talking about. This is for those of us who are living like religious people but we need to live for Jesus.
Jesus was a false prophet of lies.
+The Legend why do you say that
your a false prophet of lies!!!!
Ryan Sacker
Because nobody goes to heaven by accepting Jesus as messiah.
+The Legend How do you know that ?
It's not a religion. It's a deep, intimate relationship with God.
Which is what the religious say.
+G. R. R. Tolkien But that's exactly the point, isn't it. It's "what they say."
No its not. Nobody can connect with God by following the Christian cult.
You realize that Jesus started christianty, right? I'm sure you won't believe me, so look up Acts 11:25-26:"Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch."
The Legend
Provided that such a deity even exists.
“Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography.” That got me so good, right in the very core of my soul. I love this!, that’s another like for you, Brother!

***** why is he an idiot? the mason's hijacked the vatican and the church around 1400. thats why alot of them have the saturn and the all seeing eye on or in the church. I live in germany and almost every church got the triangle with the eye shit.
all these people saying he's wrong & he's not a true believer because he's not doing this and he's not doing that.. that. that right is exactly what he's talking about. we've become so obsessed with all these rules and standards that we have forgotten that it's supposed to be about love, about forgiveness. who are you to put down someone else's relationship with Jesus and God ? personally, you guys could attack me for not doing things that i'm "supposed to be doing", but in the end i would not care. it's me & god, two way deal. your opinion of our relationship is irrelevant to me. also. you are not the perfect definition of a "Christian." neither am i. we all aren't perfect. so don't judge someone just because they sin differently than you..
The truth is, you have to love the church. In Revelation 22 it talks about Christ returning for His bride. His bride being the church full of all believers. Christ died for his bride and will return for it. Yes I will admit that most accusations against the church are fair and sometimes we deserve them but the church is Jesus' bride. One person can help change that.
I can guarantee you that if you were to talk bad against your friends wife you wouldn't be very good friends.
+Matthew Haubenchild Jefferson doesnt hate the church, he hates the SIN, also people are the ones who said "water is grace", but is it really? Just love God and pray

+Melissa on Tinder You are a sinner, everyone's a sinner, if you are not sinning, the day you wake up, the things you do, all of those are sin, make sure you worship God right! because of that comment, you sinned once again, you are believing you didn't sinned, your opinion is wrong, you are a sinner, everyone's dirty, accept that, the only way to clean yourself is to love God.
"...but now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness! Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean. It's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken. Which means I don't have to hide my failure, I don't have to hide my sin. Because it doesn't depend on me, it depends on Him. See because when I was God's enemy, and certainly not a fan, He looked down and said, 'I want that man.' "
Dude this is powerful stuff. Although I don't quite agree that Jesus hated religion entirely, this is still an amazing piece. Thank you so much for sharing.
Every so often I come back to watch this, and every single time, I cry.
I don't get how people don't get this video...
Christianity isn't just "a religion", some man-made system to glorify men's doings...
It's the truth.
Christianity was conceived back in the ancient middle east by Arab goat herders. The Bible is probably the most self-contradictory book on earth. Christianity, like every other religion, is Man-Made.
Christianity isn't a religion.. It's a relationship with Jesus.
I don't get how somebody becomes as ignorant as you. Christianity is ONLY a religion. There is no truth in Christianity.
***** He couldn't find the obvious flaws? That tells me he's a fucking idiot. Even some Christians can find the mistakes and moral bankruptcies. So if I fed a Bible to a goat, would that mean you had relations with that goat? I've heard many stories about Christians who read the Bible and turned into Atheists.
I just looked at this video cuz it said no religion and I don't want this jesus, sin,god,devil bull crap WAKE UP PEOPLE WE HAVE NO GOD!!!

Such a timeless word. Every syllable rings true to this day.
I never looked at jesus as a religion, I've always looked at him as my friend and savior
Amen!
***** yeah I know :)
That's the great thing about Jesus. When you truly see who he is, he shows us who we are, and that's sons and daughters of the King. Jesus didn't come to Earth to condemn us, he came to Love us! :)
***** according to the Bible, Jesus didn't create a religion... Paul created the religion of Christianity. Paul is the author of the majority of books in the New Testament. Jesus authored none......

being a Christian is not a religion, it is a style life, principles, faith, love, and righteousness.

I know the difference between right and wrong, I try to help others, I know how to love, etc. So if a lot of these principals are the same as yours, but yours are given to you by religion, then.... what in the name of ass am I missing here?
Celeste Bilderback God bless you brother, you reminded me of what Jesus said to who asked him a question. read Luke10 (25-37)

the phrases says: the truly relative is the one who helps others, regardless of his/her faith, if there are two persons in front of you, a believer and an unbeliever, the one (any) who behaves good will be close to the heaven to be with Jesus Christ.
+TheBro I believe in religion, but Im a Christian (In facti am a missionary). In the book jeff wrote as an extension of this poem he does talk about religion in regards the Christianity being a religion but how its ore than that, it is a relationship. religion is real, its just not the point. and Christianity has religious aspects but there is weightier parts of it. read the book:) it is so good and not a very long read either!

marta chamoun - i know that Truth Hurts! But the Catholic Church is the True Christian Church...

Please read Church History... 😁
do you really still believe that prayers in a temple and doing worships is enough? we all know that jesus came to abolish the temple and the rocks and all the sacrifices that the humans make.

I love this, reborn and realised that you can spread the love and gospel and light with Jesus within you. “Church’s not a museum for good people, it’s a hospital for the broken.” We should be helping and healing out there, not just to make ourselves happy to attend something!😊
That's actually a false statement. I used to love this video and quoted it often but after careful study of scripture all these years later I find it incorrect. The CHURCH. Christ's church is for Jesus's sheep not the goats. Correct it is not a museum for good people this line is very reminiscent of seeker friendly churches. And that is heresy. The church is for the believer not the unbeliever. The believers are to go out into the world and bring the lost sheep to the flock. It is also not a hospital. It is a house of prayer to God the Father and worship of the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Unbelievers can not worship Him
@@FiveStones1Sling I like how you worded this. Thank you for this :)
As a Buddhist, I don't believe in God or Jesus. But I respect people that do. People like me have no right to say Christian people are very judgy, because that is a harsh judgement in and of itself. I respect that people have different belief systems, I may not personally believe these things but that has never stopped me from loving someone who does. Everyone should respect that everyone has a right to believe what they want, it's when we start forcing our thoughts on to someone else, that we have an issue.
I'm also a Buddhist, but I also believe in God and Jesus.
Really? Were you formally raised in a Christian household and then converted? Sorry if that's personal but I love hearing people's stories.
I couldn't have said it better my friend. I respect others' beliefs as long as they do not harass me to change my ways.
Exactly. I wish more people would do the same though.
+DanGamesNow TV Could you give an example of the harassment you have gone through?
Many are called but few are chosen. The truth is a narrow path and there are few that find it. When someone asked Jesus what religion he should be, Jesus simply said, take care of the widows and the orphans. He called us to Love. It was the religious leaders who arrested and murdered Jesus. If you judge single Mothers in a crisis pregnancy, you judge Mary who was pregnant out of wedlock. Having Jesus was a CRIME in her culture. If you judge poverty and homelessness, you judge Jesus. He was a homeless wanderer who never owned anything but a cross and even that was for us! If you say you stand for life but cave in to the pro choice argument. He wants you to know He entered the world as the least of us (which is a preborn baby scheduled for abortion) His purpose in life was to be murdered for our sin, just like they are! He also left the world like they do...innocent yet brutally tortured. Don't let occultic religion sugar coat His story. He was a man of many sorrows and chose to suffer with us
Many are saints(Uncountable number) Called are elect (144000,First-fruits)

My comment was just a satire---- or as you Christians would say "A Parable" or "A Metaphor", or "Not to be taken literally".
Close personal relationship as in what?
My father and I have a close personal relationship, is Jesus going to be like my father and come over sit on my couch and watch the science channel and play a few video games with me?
Or is it like a personal relationship like what I have with my girlfriend? Cause I'm not interested in going that far.
No matter what way you look at it, saying you have a personal relationship with Jesus is silly. If you had a personal relationship it indicates he lives in the physical universe (meaning he is testable by science.)
If he does not live in the physical universe then he has no impact on the physical universe (meaning praying would never work, and miracles would be impossible).
Though it is apparent that prayer fails on many levels.

I had mixed emotions about this vid when it came out but definitely amened the essence of what he was trying to say...True, absolute real Christianity is Jesus Himself- the Way, the Truth, the Life and not churchianity bogged down in boring dogma. I attend a church and love it but I only love it because I found Jesus, first. Or I should say, He found me...
Hi there, how are you doing?
Hello can I ask you a question?
I remember hysterically crying watching this as a 7 year old when it first came out out. Feeling so many emotions I could not put into words. So many things I felt after my mom had me (not sent me but I went with friend after school) to church for the first time. I felt rejected at church my first time. At SEVEN YEARS OLD. I felt ashamed even as bisexual girl who’s mostly attracted to men. The “religious” narrative was a man and a women. As a child I knew nothing different but what I had pictured in my brain. After church it was clear that was not “normal” at ALL. and it was very clear to my father and he played this video to me to show that the Bible is what you make of it. It is not to make you. It’s a guideline. NOT a rule book. At 19 years old listening I have the same reaction. Although my dad’s not in my life and God knows that, I pray that my dad knows he leaded me heavily through my relationship with god✝️
Praying for you and your family!!!❤

I just saw Jesus and He was shining with light and smiling at me. He said to me,
“It’s time to go, Beloved. My emissaries are on their way. Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? And now, why dost thou tarry? Pack up thy things and come with Me to a land which I shall show thee, which thou knewest no heretofore. Dost thou ask about thy instructions? Even this: Be ready to leave! For in a moment I call thee unto Myself, and will gather you into My Arms. Be not slack among them that sleep, but go and say to him that readeth, ‘Shalom be unto you. Unto the seven churches write, Thus saith the Son of God who hath His eyes like a flame of fire. I see thy works, and the last to be more than the first. Wherefore dost thou slumber among those that sleep? Get up! For He that calleth thee is on His way. Thou shalt never sorrow any more. Wherefore art thou so concerned for the cares of this life? In an instant they shall vanish, like My beloved when I return to rescue them, saith the Lord, the Most High over all the earth. Return unto Me and make your hearts new before Me at My Coming, so shall I not have to destroy you with the wicked. Wherefore do they say, ‘It is a long way off. We have time.’? No, beloved. It is nigh, even at the doors. Thou shalt see in that Day when I lift thee up above thy adversaries, that it was near to come. Do what thou canst while it is called day. For the night cometh when no man can work. Go, and say to them of the nations upon whom My Name is called, ‘I am coming to rescue you!’ Get up and be prepared, that thy garments may be spotless at My Coming. I see thy works, how thou hast provided for the poor. In that day thou shalt be as a signet before Me, saith thy God. I will reward you even before them that have despised and scorned you, saying, ‘What can this girl do?’ With My right Hand I lift thee up and thou shalt ever behold My Face. For I come to reward the living and the dead after their deeds. I said not in vain that your works do follow you beyond the grave. Look up! Behold, He comes with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they which pierced Him. And they shall mourn, every family and every tribe apart, in the Day that I do this, saith the Lord. Then shall they lament, saying, ‘Why did we not believe His prophets? They told us so many times that His coming was imminent and we cast their words aside like a useless thing.’ But you, beloved, spare not to share the words thou hast heard, and that in which I shall appear unto thee, lest men’s blood be on thy hands. Go in My might, and declare to him that readeth, ‘Sin no more! Be washed and made whole in the Blood of the Lamb.’ And behold, I am with those that uphold thy spirit. Peace be to thee. Shalom.”

Hello can I ask you a question?
Why do atheists talk so much about God, when they claim he doesn't even exist at all?
I don't even know. They're unbelievably narcissistic and need to stop indulging in something they believe to be fantasy.
This is exactly like saying
"Why do doctors study cancer cells. when they don't like cancer?"
Religion is bad, you can't hate a god you don't believe in but I can say I do NOT like religion.
Religion ≠ God
I think some atheist are actually misotheist. Then a lot of others have been hurt by believers. Think of all the little children sexual abused ,then controlled by people using the fear of God . Do you have any atheist friends?
+Joker bad metafore, its not the same.
Out of spite mostly. Also because the lot of them are that bored with their lives.
I watched this video 10 years ago when my faith is shaken and this video pops up to me out of nowhere. Went through my ups and downs of faith. Had a life crisis around 2015, almost became an atheist until God turned my life around by answering my prayer when I thought my life is just over. I finally learnt that I can be happy, that life is really a blessing not a curse. I found grace. But it wasn't happily ever after since then. Life has been tough, the ups and downs did not stop. Struggle is always around the corner. But the difference is, I know my God is alive and I know I want to be faithful to and for my God.
Today I watch this video as a reminder of how far I've come in my faith. "church is not a musuem of good people, but a hospital for the broken" the message sticks. Jeff's other video about "Wilderness, Depression, & Stars in the Night" also sticks. I am truly thankful for his videos. Truly has been a blessing. I hope others also found this video as a blessing.
If you're reading this far, God bless you! May we continue to grow and be blessings for others today!
Thank you so much for sharing; your message has also veen a blessing indeed. God bless & I hope you are well. 🙏🏼❤️
I am atheist and just clicked on this because I felt like I should. I truly like this. I am very satisfied by this. His thoughts on religion just made my day.
you should try Jesus my dear friend.....
this life is so short...Just try to find a church and meet some christians who can help you to know more about jesus! Stay blessed!!
I have gone to Christian [private] schools since junior high. Of course, I have been exposed to the religious, political idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies, by virtue of people's actions and true [Pharisee-like] character, which could have definitely contributed to justifiable atheism.
Fortunately I recognized Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Father in the context of their own character, love, grace and truth abounding towards me uniquely. 🕆🎉👍
A man more than a man; a teacher more than a teacher; a prophet more than a prophet: Christ was, is, and always shall be [John 14:6]: I thank God I don't have a mere religion about Him... but a [true] relationship with Him.
Blessings everybody!
It's never too late :-)
To the above commenter, it's true, it's never too late. We love you regardless of you being atheist though, and may you be blessed.
Abigail Fischer The reason why you like this is because it's the Truth. Even if you are an atheist we all love you and I'll pray that God will give you an open heart to accept his amazing gift! God bless you and be well in the Lord!

all love to you, Luny. Jesus loves you foreal. enough to send you to this vid i tell you that
Follow Jesus Himself. You don't need the church.
I like Buddhism, but I don’t identify with either. Grew up with religion. I think it’s important to know you’re put on this earth to learn about your soul to make peace and grow by learning to have compassion towards yourself. Something even religion won’t tell you, but the comfort of god. It’s really powerful. Life is a series of growing with pain and learning to get rid of what never belonged to you in the first place. Either way, I hope you find inner peace. You are doing just fine on your path.
@@hllyenaylleth9576 This is not the place for this, I pray for your soul to the Lord and ask for immediate intercession into your life and heart. May he show you the mercy and bring you close to Him as He sees fit to shed light on your life through death. Amen.

Mike Maz this is a really weak line whichever way you look at it. Doesn't pass the basic tests of high level poetry.

Grace Of God it is second rate rhyming and the fact that it impresses you is an indicator to me that you are more concerned about selling the nonsense than looking at the artistic merits of a religious poem. This isn't impressive to me...yeah because talking snakes and donkeys are real things. Spare me!
Grace Of God note the only logic available is human logic. You claiming something else is really rich. Some humility here..you dont know and stop claiming you do because you know what happens when we ask for verifiable evidence now dont we? Sell the message..money must be made. Stop pretending there is more to it.
Growing up my family attended the Catholic Church and when as I grew I began to question God. In high school I found this video and I loved it, but it didn’t resonate with me. I became an adult and fell into a deep darkness and the night I wanted to end my life, God came down to me. It felt like He took all the bricks that were placed on my chest and in a few minutes of silence I heard Him speak to me. I laid there for what seemed like hours. I now know why I loved this video. I’m so happy and grateful that God gave me enough life to get to know Him on a much deeper level. Religion doesn’t resonate with me, but Jesus does. ❤️
I believe God made the structure of the church but men turned it around to something else
I believe church is a place of worship, and the word church actually translates to followers of Christ.
@@bumperupchurch1411 I do agree with this
Follow the White rabbit Peter means small stone, but that doesn’t make him a pope. What Jesus said to him was in response to Peter’s answer to the question: “who do you day I am?” Who JESUS is (the savior) is the foundation of our faith. If Jesus is NOT the savior and if his death and resurrection failed (If he failed His mission), then the foundation of Christianity crumbles. No death & resurrection = no foundation: upon THIS rock, He built His church!

@hatter00 ok why are you still here, stop wasting your time hating
I don't want to comment on the historical or theological merits of his poem or whether being republican or independent is of any value but rather on the intrinsic truth of his proclamations. GRACE was revealed by Jesus and it's the only currency recognized by divine power. God bless you man. I like the distinction you have drawn between the two.
God does exist, it's only those who are spiritually blind that cannot see his works.

Its not thoses who are spiritually blind that don't believe in god.. its the ones who lack the imagination that don't believe.. they lost their childish innocence and are now stuck in a world when everything is black and white..

Check who you're replying to sweetheart.
I love this guy😊.He knows and speaks the truth.Much respect.
Watch the video.You do not need to belong to man made religion to believe in and love God.TRUTH.
***** There are only theories about the origin of religions but regardless, it is human nature to question things.If religions never existed do you not think we would still believe in a higher power? All we need to do is look around. The oceans, mother nature , the universe, the creation of another life etc . Everything follows a perfect order and man would have questioned the how who and why of these wonders.In my opinion the belief in a higher power would have occured without man made religions.My relationship with God is a personal one .I do not want or need a mind controlling organisation to judge me and tell me to fear God . Contrary to what religions preach, God does not judge.God is perfect LOVE .No judgment, No ego.
I agree.God is universal energy/intelligence. A power of LOVE so great , far beyond our comprehension. A man in the sky with a long white beard ready to judge people? lol..Do people still believe this? aaah yes the religious brainwashing mentality.Not for me thanks.😊
Joanna cheikho
Another thumbs up!
Joanna cheikho life is a byproduct from the big bang. Simplefied: we were an accident. there is no 'intelligent energy' or something like that. we do not have a purpose. and indeed religion is fucking stupid. i think it is weird that people feel the need to have some sort of god, even the one you describe. why can't we just be here because it just happend?
I watched this video on Day 1. 12 years later, this video is still pinned to the top of my heart. Religion was used to slave the minds and hearts of people. I freed myself of Religion 12 years ago and opened my heart, my mind, and my life to GOD.
Jesus loves everyone
so does Matthew Silver and he doesn't come along with a load of magical powers bullshit of myths and fairytales
He doesn't love rich people
Except the ones he sends to hell to burn for eternity.
He does love everyone, including rich people, but he hates the sinful traits that a stereotypical rich person has, pride, greed, gluton.... he calls us all to give up what we have to follow him, regardless of our class of wealth.
So he hates the traits of a person that make them that person
Love him or hate him, this mans spittin straight facts

I just saw Jesus and He was shining with light and smiling at me. He said to me,
“It’s time to go, Beloved. My emissaries are on their way. Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? And now, why dost thou tarry? Pack up thy things and come with Me to a land which I shall show thee, which thou knewest no heretofore. Dost thou ask about thy instructions? Even this: Be ready to leave! For in a moment I call thee unto Myself, and will gather you into My Arms. Be not slack among them that sleep, but go and say to him that readeth, ‘Shalom be unto you. Unto the seven churches write, Thus saith the Son of God who hath His eyes like a flame of fire. I see thy works, and the last to be more than the first. Wherefore dost thou slumber among those that sleep? Get up! For He that calleth thee is on His way. Thou shalt never sorrow any more. Wherefore art thou so concerned for the cares of this life? In an instant they shall vanish, like My beloved when I return to rescue them, saith the Lord, the Most High over all the earth. Return unto Me and make your hearts new before Me at My Coming, so shall I not have to destroy you with the wicked. Wherefore do they say, ‘It is a long way off. We have time.’? No, beloved. It is nigh, even at the doors. Thou shalt see in that Day when I lift thee up above thy adversaries, that it was near to come. Do what thou canst while it is called day. For the night cometh when no man can work. Go, and say to them of the nations upon whom My Name is called, ‘I am coming to rescue you!’ Get up and be prepared, that thy garments may be spotless at My Coming. I see thy works, how thou hast provided for the poor. In that day thou shalt be as a signet before Me, saith thy God. I will reward you even before them that have despised and scorned you, saying, ‘What can this girl do?’ With My right Hand I lift thee up and thou shalt ever behold My Face. For I come to reward the living and the dead after their deeds. I said not in vain that your works do follow you beyond the grave. Look up!

It’s 2018 and this video still inspires me on another level
If I may offer a question:
2:21 “I still follow the Bible, God, and yes I believe in sin”
How can you hate a particular religion when you follow its holy book? Seems inconsistent. Even more confusing is when he starts saying “Christianity” instead of Jesus.
“Religion is the poison, Christianity is the cure”
Christianity IS a religion. Isn’t Jesus supposed to be the cure? Because initially he seems to be advocating the formation of an entirely separate religion that follows Jesus but in a completely different way with different tenets, like Judaism, perhaps? idk. Maybe I’m just dumb.
Christianity is just as dogmatic as islam
Bradley Toccata Bradley Toccata
Oh and the line Religion is poison wasn’t there, I think he said infection.
Christianity is the cure - because spending time in prayer and meditating on The Word gives peace to the soul.
Stella Saranya sure. Infection, poison, effectively it’s making the same point. And why do you need Christianity to ponder and meditate on the word around you? There’s nothing inherently religious about that
Bradley Toccata
Meditate on the WORD, meaning on the Bible.
Also sorry, another thing you asked in your previous comment :
Christianity according to Wikipedia might be a religion.
But if you ask a true Christian - It’s a ‘relationship’ that you build everyday with God.
So I guess what he means by religion here is - all the other religions/world views (including lukewarm Christianity)
This is my absolute favorite poem! When I first heard it, I was brand new to have a relationship with Jesus. This young man really helped me with this Spoken Word. I quote from it all the time. Thank Jefferson Bethke!
Found this not by mistake... But was lead to this! Thank you for saying this out loud when I've been saying this in my head!
Karen Geertgens Me to! I kept strolling passed it! Not by mistake did I push the button! This is absolutely amazing
The views are great but ,the message is not clear .Religion is man made.We are all children of god .He is our father .We tend to follow the bible but seldom understand the meaning of its message .Interpretation is in our mind .just like doing bad or good .lt's always up to the individual.All religion .Hindu ,Muslim ,Christian and others teaches philosophy .
I felt like I was lead to this to like god wanted me to know this and I'm glad he brought me hear I needed this now the only problem is would anyone else on this world care to know or to understand this topic
I love this so much! I see many times where Jesus is mistaken as religion, and that's not true because Jesus is the Lord of all, who came down to us to die and rise again for our sins. He is God and He wants to have a relationship with us! 🕆❤☝
Jesus is the son of God, not God
“Christianity Isn’t A Religion It Is A Relationship With God”
Mr. Christianater there is difference between Christianity and Jesus .
Catholic is the founder of Christianity
th-cam.com/video/YNGqrzkFp_4/w-d-xo.html
If Christianity is relationship with God, that would mean that all people who claims to be Christians are true believers in Christ. Which is not true. Christianity is just religion. Our Lord Jesus didnt come here to establish a religion., but a church.
Martin Kraina He didn’t come to establish the church, he came to save it, which He did: “it is finished.” He didn’t come to lay down laws or set traditions, he fulfilled “the law and the prophets.” His mission was to be the Savior, and He is. Those who believe He came to help us do works are sorely mistaken, for we are totally depraved and incapable of any good without Him. It is ONLY though Jesus Christ, we can receive redemption. “No man comes to the father except through me.” No ifs, ands, or buts, pure and simple.
Judge Dredd You are wrong. Jesus said “On this rock i will build my church” . Who creates the church of Jesus Christ? Everyone who believes truly in Jesus Christ and what he has done for us. So after his death and resurrection everyone who believed in the gospel was part of this church.
Also, faith without works is a dead faith. It requires works, the requires works of your faith. When you are tested thats when the works comes by trusting in God. And also when you fail God, when you sin, it requires works of repentance.
I can’t remember which teacher but I still think of the moment they said screw the rules & showed us this video back in 2012
Regardless of all the negative, atrocious commentary, I'm so grateful and blessed to be loved by a creator who selflessly gave his son so we would not sleep the eternal sleep of death. That we do wrong but are forgiven, and in our faith and works of faith helping where we can, we'll see Jesus come again. I pray for every single person who has hate in their heart, who hurts, and who starves, and I'd love to have the power myself to undo all the wrongdoing that happens every day. I'm inherently flawed and born in sin and subject to human emotion, but I choose to love even those who choose to hate--even the people who speak so vilely about other people, I love my neighbors. Thank you for this video. In scripture, I love to go to the words directly quoted by Jesus, and when I think of the courage of his disciples--who all but one died horrible deaths for their beliefs, because they would not deny their faith--and I know that nobody would condemn themselves to death for a lie. Even when given the opportunity to deny it, the true disciples didn't deny Jesus and the resurrection. It's also uncanny that a book written by 40 different people over 3000 years is cohesive even in what is misconstrued as contradiction. Even when great libraries perished the bible still remains. Faith is in the heart, and people have free will to choose. I choose God, and in that, I choose mercy, grace, and the kind of love that isn't of this earth.
Don't you think that the Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and New Agers have also chosen God just like you have?
dagoose109 Perhaps they all have, but I can't read into all of their hearts to know what they do or don't believe in; I can only speak for myself and personal feelings and experiences. My husband converted from Buddhism (of his own accord before we married without my prompting), and he never said anything about a Buddhist god, but there are a lot of rituals for peace and good fortune. It's a shame I never learned languages beyond Spanish and German, because the chanting is beautiful. I go to the Buddhist temple at times at his parents request, because they are beautiful people and I respect them. It's peaceful there, and I have tremendous admiration for the monks who live on the property for their dedication and sacrifice. We always bring essentials or money to buy toiletries and food for them (it is a small, humble temple with beautiful gardens). They never ask, though, not the way I used to be hammered for tithes for "building funds" and the like. I shied away from church buildings long ago and usually share fellowship with a few people in smaller group settings. I know Muslims worship Allah (their word for God) but the Quran is incredibly violent (granted, the Old Testament and parts of the new are, too, but wow! I'd hate to be an infidel caught in the upheaval of ISIS). I haven't studied the Hindu faith in detail, which is a shame on me (I consider different perspectives and knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and I have a keen fascination of science). As far as New Agers, I have no clue what they believe, so I should brush up there, too. I do know that on forums where we are who we are or together in person, I have friendly discussions with pagans and other people of different religions, and my own cousin is an Atheist who I love dearly. We agree to believe differently, and our kids play together. I don't push myself on everyone or tell anyone they're wrong, because ultimately we all have a choice. If someone is receptive to what I have to say, I happily share. Everything I do, I try to do with an open mind and heart, and I'm the first to defend and the last to condemn another human being. Until I'm perfect (which will be never), I can't be judge or jury. I don't call the shots. It's not always easy, because so many people resort to trivial malice for malice sake, and there have been times I haven't taken the high ride, but I wake up each day, pray and try. A long answer to a short question, but I tend to get a bit verbose at times. Thank you for your question, though, and giving me a few things to study. I'll be a student until I draw my last breath, even though I graduated college 12 years ago.

*vomits*
If you actually read the bible, it says that is supposed to be omniscience which is later disproved by... wait for it... the bible! If you believe God is all knowing then Jesus "sacrifice" is NOT a sacrifice, because God would have known about it before he spoke the universe into existence (which scriptures dispute). Omniscience makes the garden tale into a cosmic set up where the all knowing God is simply going through the motions of the garden awaiting the failure of men which it MUST have foreseen, for a truly all knowing God will see whatever we will choose despite our free will as it is timeless. Hence when it shows regret in the flood tale it reveals it is not all knowing.
The Jesus tale puts the Judaic practice of blood sacrifice for forgiveness of sins into the realm of the human sacrifice (divine, demigod, pick your denomination). This also belittle the God concept as it puts requirements upon the great I am, it can speak REALITY into existence but cannot forgive an act it must have foreseen without human blood sacrifice?
If this is the best a god can do, I'm not impressed.
Zasz Fortunately God isn't concerned with your impression of him, and omniscience was never disproved in the bible. There has been significant misinterpretation in the book of Genesis over the simple word "to know", but there are several interpretations of the meaning of the word when translated from Hebrew and Greek. However, clearly stated in the book of Isaiah, God states his omniscience. "Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose." (Isaiah 46:10). Unless you understand the significance of why Jesus was the only human being capable of fulfilling an ancient covenant as a human blood sacrifice, you fail to understand that free will is indeed free will, and God will always do what is right and just. I'm sorry if my beliefs makes you nauseous and invoke your disdain or disapproval, but there's scripture about people like you, too. "Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."(1 Peter 5:8). I'm not swayed by your logic, of lack thereof, because I am vigilant, but I will pray for you. God bless.
Amberr Meadows _Fortunately God isn't concerned with your impression of him_
That kinda makes the whole worshipping pointless, doesnt it?
_and omniscience was never disproved in the bible_
"Hence when it shows regret in the flood tale it reveals it is not all knowing."
_There has been significant misinterpretation in the book of Genesis over the simple word "to know", but there are several interpretations of the meaning of the word when translated from Hebrew and Greek_
A comman excuse. The book is only as much worth as you interpret.
_However, clearly stated in the book of Isaiah, God states his omniscience._
Claiming it multiple times doesnt make it true. An all knowing god should have forseen that his book will be misinterpreted. Did he intervene? No. Did he order a new book to be written? No. So either he doesnt care or doesnt exist. Take your pick or make up more excuses.
_Unless you understand the significance of why Jesus was the only human being capable of fulfilling an ancient covenant as a human blood sacrifice..._
Scapegoating never solved anything. And its immoral btw.
_you fail to understand that free will is indeed free will_
Oh of COURSE. Free to get MS & leukemia, free to lose all in an earthquake. Makes sense...
_and God will always do what is right and just_
Ordering scapegoating is neither right nor just. The idea that the christian god is just, is directly contradicted by the idea that the christian god is merciful. Perfect justice and any mercy are necessary directly in contradiction because mercy is a suspension of justice.
_but there's scripture about people like you, too. "Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."_
Uh... Im so scared now...
_I'm not swayed by your logic, of lack thereof_
You being unable to understand the concept of morality doesnt really qualify to judge my logic.
_but I will pray for you_
You think your god will alter his "divine" plan because an insignificant worm wants the stars to be realigned? Really?
When this video came out in 2012 I was like! “Clever” now I like….. “Wow, this is beyond relatable, he is speaking what I’m thinking”
As an atheist, I like some of Jesus' messages. Then again, I don't like others.
You're not an atheist if you believe in Jesus
ZlNATRA I don't believe in Jesus. I merely like some of his "teachings" in the Bible. Just as I listen to some of the teachings from shows I watch. That doesn't make them real, does it?
You sound more agnostic like me.
Lynx Star Automotive I'm not agnostic. In fact, I'm a gnostic atheist towards personal gods. If you're not familiar with the term, it means that I think it is impossible for personal gods (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc.) to exist.
- AkumetsU - Well Jesus did exist. That he is an almighty being is another thing entirely.
Over the course of about 10 years, I've seen this video at least 20 times...maybe 40, I don't know. I've shared it just as many times.
"I love The Book. I love all that it contains. What I have issue with is the people that claim the same." --myself
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”
― Brennan Manning
This is my testimonial something that y’all never heard of in church testimonials:
I grew up in a religious household , I got depression, reached out to them and to the this person in the church was supposed to be the leader for the youth but no one cared. I’m still in this dark times where everyone I grew up in turned away on me.
Never I heard a testimonial about that.
During those times, all I had was the this little hope that everything is going to get better.
At the end, God made me realize it’s not about religion. Loving him is not about being religious, reading bible and going to church. God taught me a completely different way somethjng that I never heard of in church testimonials and I broke down crying. Because religion did not allow me to learn who he really is. It completely changed me not to the church I used to wanted.
Thats a Powerful story you told.. i see the way christians act and the hatred and racism in their hearts,, im a christian but im totally not sure i want to be a christian in a religious sense.. im starting to beleive that God is bigger than any Holy Book or religions. The church you went too, there are actually some churches out there that work kind of like cults.. signs of a cult are rules , they have many rules and you must not question the pastor or leadership and they tell you that if you leave, that you are out of The Will Of God and will go to hell and backslide and if a person leaves, they experience shunning. shunning is when people of that group no longer talk to you and associate with you. also another sign of a cult is that the leader tells the members that they are the only chuch thats actually preaching truth and all other churches are lukewarn!! these are signs of a cult

@ARIEL MITCHELL I have a suggestion. You could take a moment to look at all the things that God has done for you. In addition think of all the things He has in store for you. Try to think of Him more than some ordinary “god”, but as a friend. Someone who is always willing to stick up for you and won’t leave your side. I read your comment and really felt for your situation. I knew I had to reply back. 🙂🙂🙂
@ARIEL MITCHELL Of course Christianity isn’t just a rule book, after accepting Jesus into your life you have to make changes to your life where they are needed. Also yes you can talk to God whenever you want to because He is always listening to you. He hears your thoughts and loves to hear your prayers. It’s important to make a habit of prayer so that it’s not just you asking for things but also thanking Him for the things He has done for you. Even just talking to Him about random things throughout your day is great too. If you don’t go to church already you should talk to a pastor more in depth to this.
@ARIEL MITCHELL 😊😊😊
Gave me chills! Thank you! Praise the King of Kings!
That's bc Jesus is a principle. Teachings. You are god. You are Satan. Its up to you to choose which character to be.

Hello can I ask you a question?
Amazing how this message goes past some people's heads. Before I found God, I was about as atheist as they come and I didn't see that changing any time soon (although instead of proselytizing my nonbeliefs and repeating anti-theist propaganda on as many youtube vids as I could, I actually had a life, and still do). As a former nonbeliever, what I really want to do is apologize to Christians for most of the rude and ignorant anti-theist comments on this vid (which they obviously didn't understand). The comments that are insulting a Christian's intelligence and belief system as if some irrelevant insect on TH-cam is going to change a whole person's way of life. Please grow up. I would also appreciate it if holier-than-thou "Christians" didn't tell atheists that they are going to suffer when they die (as for me, I didn't believe in hell so I never lost my shit when an overly-religious asshole said that to me, I just ignored them). If you don't believe in God like I didn't use to, then whatever. I hope you find something in this life that makes you happy and not be so cynical & condescending towards people who do not share your beliefs. Regardless of your view on religion and God (a huge mistake to synchronize them together), there's no need to be so aggressive when sharing your beliefs (or synchronize God with "religion"). Peace.
I'd say that anyone can be angry and mean and rude to someone that belives in faireytails and reads a book that promotes slavery, killing children, killing adulters, and cutting of womens hands....But i thought christianity was good i thought it didnt promote violence. Just forget about all this stuff written in books that is man made. Believe in a God that just created the universe but dont make your beliefs come from books which is feom humans disgusting opnions.
You obviously don't know the whole book then. Have you heard of the new testament and Jesus?
Please read the bible and then come back with an argument
Nathanael Purcell Talking to Eli or me?
Eli lol
Now discovering this video in 2024 thank you God bless you
Luke 5: 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance
What did he call them to do? I thought it was finished...?
To separate and become more that 150 denominations and cause mass confusion about salvation.
Ask stupid question expect stupid answer..
You thought wrong James
I meant that he was calling sinners to “repentance”, as you said. Just wanted a reiteration on that. He wasn’t calling them to abandon the law and all organized religion including the church as the video suggests.
This video sucks it is not of God, but of the world.
Romans10:17 how so? relationship>religion.
This truly helped me. God bless you ❤ I am struggling with my belief a bit, but I am young, and have faith. AMEN! Thank you so much
"Its not a museum for the good people, its a hospital for the broken" such a good saying for how churches should be. We dont get to heaven because of our good deeds, we get to heaven by accepting that we are broken and evil and that we need jesus to make us whole.
Very true some people believe that their good works will take them to heaven.
To free yourself from hell is the truth of the only MAN GOD accepted. Your book of sins would never allow you into Heaven, for nothing that defiles shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven!. Yet after all you done the promised gift of your belief in GOD'S only begotten SON He will remove your corrupt book of life the sinful life we all have led and replace it with HIS PERFECT BOOK!. Without Him doing that you will not make it. Yet there is a clause. If your heart is false so shall your judgement be and hellbound all will be. Phoney Christian's never get past the Love of the truth....unless they pass the test.
Kenneth W. Lovette and there’s no way to convincingly lie to god because he can see everything you’ve done and all that’s in your heart. If your heart is not with him & you don’t truly believe in him that’s the one sin that I’m pretty sure can’t be forgiven. Unfortunately it seems it’s the hardest thing to convince other people to do, to search for god and listen.
We are not evil. We are human. We were not born in sin. We are sparks of God, and we are here to experience polarity and free will, for God. It's a temporary assignment. It's a school for soul expansion. But, I repeat, we are not intrinsically evil.
@@dorinefotsa4706 No we believe that Faith without Works is dead. James 2:24
It's a shame how far over people's heads this poem went. Even as a militant atheist I can appreciate the words and meaning behind this poem, beautifully done honestly. Funny enough a lot of the comments here help prove how poisonous and deadly religion is to humanity, and why it's truly an evil thing.
"He took the crown of thorns and the blood drips down his face. He took what we all deserve; I guess that's why you call it grace." I'm sorry, I can't appreciate the fact that he is in the religious mindset that we are all sinners and we all deserve such brutal torment. He is using wordplay to try and distinct the two (Jesus and religion), but really doesn't. In the end, it's still a religion.
TylerMantup Of course worshiping Jesus can be considered a religion, I mean after all the very definition of religion is the worship of a deity or the supernatural, however like with almost all poetry if you go into it with a literal mindset the effect will almost surely be lost on you. It's rather clear with the references he makes that this wasn't disowning worship altogether but rather organized religion.
Don't get me wrong however... we're on the same side regarding Christianity, as I view it along with other religions as poisonous blood cult and would prefer to live in a world with no faith at all, however this guy was simply recognizing the undeniable issues with organized religion. The faith one follows is irrelevant if they're capable of opening their eyes to the detrimental effects that blindly following has, which is something he demonstrated quite eloquently.
We could get into the nitty gritty that technically following the word of Jesus is blindly following, but that would do nothing more than bring us full circle.
wow! i just gained mad respect for you, for speaking such WELL words....... and interestingly enough the word WELL in the LATIN means "BEAUTIFUL"!!! may God bless you! :)

Why give up on faith if 75% of the world in poverty. Churches are a good thing because there the most charitable to the poverty. It gives people hope and strength. We live in a world where this is the practice world into the next one. Shouldn't people have a second chance in a new world. Especially the poverty. People already destroyed this world and look how capitalism has become immoral on our society. 1% of the world owns all the wealth. Wealth distribution is not idealistic at all but wrong because there's people still living under a dollar a day.
Ronald Dinoso It's still false hope though. Granted who knows, it's unlikely but perhaps there is a heaven and a hell. However more than likely when we die that'll be the end of it, and in the end that person would have spent their life chasing a rainbow only to find no pot of gold at the end of it. I personally find living and dying in false hope, viewing this precious life as only practice like you said, to be one of the most tragic things imaginable.
I find it even more tragic that some people, not centering anything at you don't misunderstand me, only give to charity or help the poor because of a sense of moral obligation. At the very least the people giving to the charities will be the ones who truly want to do the right thing and not because of "Big Brother" watching them like a hawk, judging every action.
Regarding the economy I see what you mean, however it's subjective.
