I mean i love when you havent seen a person in real life and everything you know about him is a belief created by another human being, and ur supposed to worship him and give him your life, without even knowing his real name... meh i dunno if yall crazy
I don't think unbelievers would be convinced of God's existence regardless of any answer given to them. Think they only want to prove the Bible or Christians answers incorrect is all.
One of my favorite stories is how Abraham negotiated with God to spare Sodom and Ghemora. God knew already that there wasn't any righteous person to be found but He indulged Abraham because his heart was in the right place. It showed God's love and patience and also the pleasure God had with Abraham.
I’ve always pondered this. God even asked Lot to find someone in Sodom and Ghemora who is without sin, then he will spare the cities. But, this is kind of a trick request. As we are all born into sin. What I ponder is, weren’t there any children in these cities? I’m sure there were. Weren’t the lives of these children worth saving? Not just Lots family? I’d appreciate a reasonable reply to this.
@@BenjoReacts Very good question. The thing is...what was predominant in those times was the corruption of the true blood line of Adam who God created. Satan had a plan to corrupt man with his own identity to permanently keep us in sin. That's why there were nephilims (giants) back then. Many abominations were so normal at that time, like sleeping with animals, same sex and so on... this corruption was brought about through sex between the fallen angels and women/men. God was grieved at this. Sad to say there was no way back. The mark of the beast will be just like that. A corruption to man. As for the children, they were most likely of the same corrupted blood line which needed to end. But I believe they might not perish for all eternity, unlike the adults who knew what they were doing. I'd like to also remind you that this was one of the key reasons for the flood in Noah's time. But unfortunately it continued afterwards.
God is teaching us that if we cry for mercy on others, we speak His language and He reacts. God didn't learn anything new here; Moses did. And so do we.
@@black_wizard8958 "god is percent and not we" lol Thanks for the laugh. It's seems you're helping to prove your point. You meant, God is perfect, not us.
He wanted to see where Moses’s heart was, just like in the beginning when he asked where Adam was. He was asking where Adam was hiding, He wanted Adam to confess where his heart was and see if he would take accountability.
@@lasercat538 yeah he tried to hide thinking God wouldn’t know where he was. God knew where he was hiding and where his heart was. God just wanted a confession.
No, the only reason (on two separate occasions, I might add) that God headed Moses’ petition to spare the Israelites was because Moses appealed to his ego: It was only lest the nations should hold Yahweh in lower esteem that he didn’t kill them. His motive was entirely self-interested. This is backed up by Deuteronomy 32:26-27. God only spared them so that others wouldn’t take the credit.
@John Washington its a dad joke. He saying he’s not well versed in the bible ( doesn’t know much about it, or hasn’t researched the contents) but he makes the joke ‘or chaptered’ because the bible has verses and chapters. Not a funny joke but no Dad jokes are lmao
@John Washington When Christians refer to part of the bible, they cite the Chapter and Verse. Maybe you've heard of John 3:16. John is the book, 3 would be the chapter, 16 the verse. So being well-versed, in regard to the Bible, has an almost literal meaning that a person has an intimate familiarity with the bible down to the verse level of detail. "Chaptered" while not an actual term anyone uses would imply a more broad familiarity with the bible with less detailed understanding or nuance.
Moses was gonna live anyway.. God was save him and create the line through him. I personally believe God doesn't know everything based on these so called "anthropomorphic" sayings but that's an unpopular opinion
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 well I choose to believe what the Bible actually says instead of pastoral opinion in the Bible is clearly making it known that God doesn't know everything and I don't believe in this anthropomorphic point of view but you're welcome to it
@@cindylou3524 not trying to dismiss you, I'm genuinely curious, where in the bible makes you believe that God DOESNT know anything? My church small group had a similar discussion about a month ago.
@@cadenorris4009 God told abraham he was going to go to sodom and find out if they had done according to the cry of it and if not he would know. God tests abraham by having him kill his son and then says NOW I know you fear the LORD. Did he not know before? God was enraged by the idol worship by the Israelites when they worshiped the calf. So why get so outraged if he knew they would betray him? A lot of people are uncomfortable with God not knowing everything because of stuff our pastors said. However I like it because it means my choices are mine to make and I'm not some mindless character in a movie

@Oftin Wong No No No, If you have perverted tendencies do you just say, oh ill embrace it because it'll just breed inner turmoil? No work on it and pray Jesus will show you the way
@Oftin Wong He's asking for help and has already made his own decision whether or not it's okay to act on these kinds of impulses. I can understand you want the best for the original poster, and you're trying to point him in the path with the least suffering(pretty sure that's what we all want). Why our views differ is basically how life after death works, do you want to try enjoying your current life on earth or are you concerned about where you spend your afterlife which is eternal. From my experience in dealing with sexual sin, it really helps if you keep your eyes on the end goal. I disagree that he should quit just because it causes more internal conflicts. I know from experience after years of trying to justify my sin, the truth is, if you're genuine in trying to quit, God will help.
The Holy Spirit. Like when you don't know what to pray, so the Holy Spirit fills you and you speak in tongues. It's like you are the sock puppet and the Holy Spirit is the hand. Sorry this sounds rude. I just find it very strange that people actually believe such things.
@@Well_possibly We humans are tri-dimensional being meaning we are made of spirit, soul (character, personality, etc), body. So as believers, the Holy Spirit was sent to us as a helper and comforter to lead and guide us on our walk with the Lord Jesus on this world. Without the help and leading of the Holy Spirit, we won't be able to be be transform and become like Jesus and impact the world which is our main purpose on earth. Now, the Holy spirit is there to lead us bt it doesn't force itself on us just like God has given us humans the free will to accept and serve him or to live however we want in this world. This means that we have the choice to accept the nudging and leading of the Holy Spirit (and yes as a believer you can tell when the Holy Spirit is trying to lead you to do something). Pleass remember that we as believers have a choice to follow Jesus, his precepts or not because at the end of the day He is a loving and gracious God who will never force himself on me and you nor does he want us to become hus brainless, puppeteer servants either. Hope this helps
@@andrew_stamps God can't cut out the Holy Spirit because He is also the Holy Spirit. God is triune, tri-dimensional (3 in 1), God, the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. They are all spirit beings that have their own individualities and roles bt are also interdependent and interconnected at the same time. Hard to make sense of if you're are not a believer, not just Christian cuz there is a difference between the two. Since, we humans are spirit beings also (see my above comment), God gives us the Holy Spirit to Lead, guide, help, and empower us in our walks with Him on earth. Now God does communicates himself directly to us, through the Holy Spirit, and via various other ways with us his creations since He is the ultimate creator after all. You can't come to know nor understand God the Father unless you first acknowledge that Jesus Christ is His son that he came and died for your (our) sins in order to reconcile us back to the Father. And the key to having this acces is faith (Belief) in jesus and accepting (inviting) Him into your life as your savior. I hope this make sense. Most importantly, please remember that God loves us all and would love nothing bt for us to come to him. Bt He doesn't himself force on anyone of one of us. We all have been given free will to choose to believe Jesus or not. Just like you have the choice to do good or bad in life. So the choice is yours. I hope this helps.

@Googlesucks Fkyougoogle Human you don't know me. But one thing is true, you need to repent. You give real Christians a bad name, you call Christians cowards but declare yourself to be one? hypocrite. Here is a real born again Christian doing you a world of favor... Repent! in the name of Yeshua The Messiah and turn away from your wicked ways with your New Age belief. Also because your're lost and have no faith, Jesse Lee Peterson is a false prophet. Christ spoke of you false converts and false prophets, claiming to be a child of The most High God. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are". You're that Child. REPENT.
Googlesucks Fkyougoogle, prayer is supposed to be a communication between you and God, not a moment where we’re silent. God speaks to us through the Bible, we speak to Him through prayer. God also uses prayer as a way to align us with His will, He already knows what He wants and what you want, and oftentimes our will doesn’t align with His will. As the Lord’s prayer goes: “your will be done”, not ours. He also wants us to talk to Him because it helps us, it calms anxieties and lulls depression and stress, just ranting to God about nothing and everything, pouring out our hearts, it helps. The Bible specifically says in 1 Peter 5:7 “cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.” And Psalms 55:22 says “cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you, He will never let the righteous be shaken.” In the Bible we see a clear picture of God’s love and care for us, and through prayer He lets us have a safe place to go and let our guard down, a place where we’re heard because He wants to listen to us, He doesn’t care if we mess up our words, we’re imperfect and He only wants us to be real with Him; not because of Him, because He already knows everything you need, but because of us - because He knows the importance of relaxing and having someone there to listen, and He gives us that thanks to His amazing grace.

In my view, I always thought of it as God testing Moses, as he knows Moses willingly would take the blame. Moses proves his faith and trust in God when he asks the Lord to punish him before he punishes the Israelites, time and time again, reassuring God not to give up on them, although, in my eyes, it is God seeing if Moses hasn't given up on them.

zipo dipo Romans 8:31 - What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? "us," or "we" are not inclusive of the entire human race, but only those who have accepted Christ in faith. So I guess if you’re riding with the wind, God is for you (Christian). If you’re riding against the wind, God is not for you (Unbeliever).
The other thing is I'm Exodus 32:9 God makes a conditional statement "Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them." Indicating it's a possible action not an absolute action on his part. That happens sometimes where God tells a possible future where the outcome is dependent on how we respond to his prophesy.
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by. 6 And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. *Love you, We can pray anytime..*

God knows the best but He listens to pleadings so that we might not think He's too hard. But there's a limit to how much He can say yes to. Just like parents who knows candies are bad for children, sometimes when the child pleads so hard, it softens the heart of the parents and gives what the child wants. But there's a limit of course. When God draws the line, He makes it known and there's a reason why. "Do not pray for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their distress." Jeremiah 11:14 WHY? Reason: "The LORD of Hosts who planted you has decreed disaster upon you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought upon themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.” Jeremiah 11:17
Because God allowed this to be put in scripture and knew that his children would read them and give us the confidence to intercede for others! You can’t comprehend GODS mind but the spirit will allow his children of faith to understand his reasoning that is in scripture!

So he knows if we're going to hell before we're even created, before we've even made the decision. And since nothing happens that he doesn't want to happen, and he knows everything that will happen, doesn't that mean he knows before you exist if you're going to Hell or not? Hasn't he already made that decision? So therefore, is he making people just to send them to Hell, and do we even have free will if our fate is metaphorically already written?

I'd call being threatened, manipulated, and controlled. I could for sure do what I wanted but my family will experience a horrific fate.

Yes, God is a God of emotion; anger, sadness, love, even repentance; etc. God also, in order to have a relationship with His people, "suspends His omniscience in order to interact with them. Yes, God changes His mind, even learns some things. It doesn't make Him less than God, it's Him trying to relate to His finite creation.

I really like this answer since whenever I think about God "hardening Pharaoh's heart," it made me wonder how much agency Pharaoh had. I have since used a model that we are all responsible to choose whether we want to follow God or not, but from the observer's perspective, God acts through them regardless. So if I did end up not choosing to follow God and hardened my own heart, God would still use my stubbornness, mistakes, and sin in a way that's still part of his plan (while also smiting me for my decisions). From the outside perspective, it can be seen as God still working through me (like Pharaoh in Exodus or the neo-Babylonians in Habbakuk) to the outside observer.
@Madara Uchiha That's not the case. When you read the Bible, you will see that the Narrator is never "coy". God may not share everything with the character in the book, say Adam or Abram, but the Narrator of the book will never hide the truth. Moreover, God has a right to keep secrets. The Bible is both God's and Man's perspective precisely because God wants us to have the veil lifted from our eyes when we read it. Just because God didn't physically write the Bible we hold in our hands this very day does not mean it is not his own word. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Oh and btw Madara Uchiha, to respond to your below post. Nowhere in Exodus does it say that the pyramids were built on the backs of the Jews. They built storehouses and such, nothing more. Even then, Ramses wasn't likely the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Some argue it was Thutmose the III, but there are a few other candidates as well. There is archaeological evidence of Egyptians taking slaves known as the "Apiru" or "Habiru" as well as them bemoaning how plentiful the Habiru were.
Gaming Stew-Dog you’re not a truth seeker if you’re set on one specific idea that you don’t even know is true yourself. It is just as far fetched to definitively conclude there is no god than it is to conclude there defiantly is a god. Keep an open mind and god may find you mate if you don’t keep an open mind you’re lying to yourself.
The same goes for the story of Abraham and ISaac. People always ask why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice his child if God already knew how faithful Abraham was? The answer is, the exercise of sacrifice was not for Abraham to prove he had faith. God already knew he had faith and trust in him. It was a lesson in faith for us, future generations. As told, they wrote it down. That lesson was to be passed on to us, in order for us to understand the level of faith and trust that God wants us to have.

No. Not biblical at all. All things work according to His good will and purpose. All things have been either caused by God or allowed to happen by God for His good will and purpose. Just like Joseph. He allowed Joseph’s brothers to sell him into slavery so He could save the lineage of Israel through Joseph during the famine.
I can get what you are saying, I for one think this, I could be wrong, however I dont believe God punishes for being mistaken. anyway, think on this, if he knew all that will happen, why let it happen? why ask the question if the answer is known? why take the journey, if you are at the destination? what is the purpose, if the purpose is already known? I think he knows us! he knows how we are! thus he can predict what we will do! Yes, I beleive he guides things, sets things in motion, acts when needed, but from there on its up to us! why else give us free will?
Its entirely natural. Many people struggle with what parts of their upbringing to accept and what to reject and part of those decisions is where they stand on religion. Even for those that keep the religion their parents had, they often develope completely different ideas about it and different interpretations. The cool part is that this young man has the courage to be up front about his doubts and is making a genuine attempt to reconcile them. Many in his possition just choose to remain steady in their doubt and never look for the answers to their questions, just assuming they dont exist.

The Lord has a soft spot for His humble servant. Most things they ask, however absurb, the Lord grant it. For example, when Joshua ask the sun to rise up from the west instead of east, the Lord did it for Joshua. But all these little scenario does not change the bible timeline at all. Even if it does, the Lord can easily put back the revelation chapter according to His Will.
Lol, God hardened Pharaoh's heart and then made Joseph perform some simple magic tricks that could be copied by the Pharaoh's own magicians, knowing that he had made it so Pharaoh would not look kindly on Joseph. God is manipulative and will stand in the way of his followers. He allowed Job's life to be destroyed for the sake of a bet with the devil and thought that just replacing his wife and daughters with new ones would make everything cool.
@@st1n no, its your own fault. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. John 3:19
@@edwinchanx actually it's Gods own fault from day one. He is the original. All sin stems from him. His angels are flawed because he is a flawed creator. There's a reason there is sin and flaws in everything he created (in the event he is real). But it's funny there's a book that details his flaws but it's said it's not canon because it doesn't go with the message the church wants to preach.
@@shadowbro514 Elohim created all living beings. But unlike animals, angel and man are higher beings (man being slightly inferior to angel) the only ones called sons of God. Which means unlike animal, we are free to choose our own path. To go back to the light when we die or go to the darkness. But like the fallen angel, most men also choosed the same path, they choose to rebel when they still living. Only to regret when they die it's a bit too late...
Pray for me please. I feel trapped in my own mind and can't escape. I feel like I'm a prisoner to my sin. Please pray the Spirit will take the scales off my eyes.
God has given man free will. The Earth is a farm, all that God has done is put in place a plan. All that God knows just as any farmer is that some crops will do better than others
But the difference here is you don't condemn the losing team to an eternity of hell in the football game that you did not make them play. God, on the other hand, puts us on Earth, knowing whether or not we will accept Christ (assuming that is the criteria to get into heaven), and then punishes us with an eternity of hell for what he knows we'll choose even before he puts us on Earth. So tell me, how is that God an all loving God?
Justin W there would be no love at all if he made us all worship him. This is why we have free will. Gods not going to make you have an eternity with him if you don’t want to.
Ethan Keating - however before you were even born, god knew what and when you gonna do and where you gonna end (otherwise he is not a god), therefor you have no free will, you dipstick!!!
Božský Boch just because I know the score of a game and go back and watch the game doesn’t mean I controlled the game. If we didn’t have free will then god would be evil which he is not. He is the definition of goodness. You don’t have a good understanding of the biblical God. Don’t be surprised there are certain things of the created of the universe you can’t understand. It’s like an ant staring a sky scraper. No matter how much they look at it or how long they can’t understand it comepletly
@@jwongky2791 hey there, i think you got it twisted. after Adam's sin, we-his descendants are on a path to hell. there's nothing we can do about it, we just don't have the power to get off that road. then God comes and offers a different path to heaven to those who are willing to take it. God does not send people to hell, our nature does that. what He does is offer us an alternative to hell should we want one!
I actually came up with a really good analogy, it goes like this and I don't think people can really counter this either because their life proves it to be true. Here it is. Ask anyone who has kids or would have kids. Say "Before you had kids or are going to have kids one day are you fully aware that your kids are going to do or may do bad things even before you had them or will have them???" EXACTLY!!! You were fully aware that when you have kids or a kid they may or will do bad things, YET you had them??? WHY is that??? Why do you say God cannot do this YET you do it in your own life??? You literally are proving our point, it is no different that God giving life to beings that can do wrong and you purposely having kids FULLY AWARE they will do bad things. If you know your child will do bad things why did you still have them???? Best analogy ever. Anyone with children has no RIGHT to even question why God would create a being that can do wrong when they have kids and did the same thing God did, being a hypocrite because they were also fully aware. But its because you want and expect GOOD you have kids, nobody has kids and cannot wait until they disobey them. You have them hoping they will love you JUST like God expects us to love him. Actually now that I think that having kids is pretty self reflection of God, God was fully aware the beings he created COULD do bad things just like any parent was FULLY aware that having a kid that kid might and COULD do bad things. The point is, you want LOVE, most parents probably want kids becasue they want love out of that kid and want to love them back and ect. So how can you question Gods motive when you as PARENTS done the same exact thing proving you are made in Gods imagine and think alike.
Well, that one is pretty easy! I dont have Kids, but when i do, i wont: a) Have a large, overproportionally growing number of Kids, live in a world of predefined distance to me, where it is their Moral duty to reach out to me, because i require a phenomenal amount of direct, conscious worship. (in the analogy: i will never let them fully grow up to "move out", instead i decide to take a stance in the Fashion of a "helicopter parent") b) have them suffer because of their older "siblings" (Adam and Eve). I will allow them to go against each other for different reasons, amongst them: religious wars, uncontrolled reproductive Impetus, scarcity of ressources etc. c) Dispense my Moral helps against the aforementioned b) very disproportional at an altering rate through the ages and with a huge (!) differece depending on the local Christian confession. -until this Point this would be manageable through apokatastasis ton panton (salvation of all), ending this seemingly endless, but in the end immensely small period of diverse suffering, but: d) have most of them (read Matthew) suffer for their choices eternally because of their inherited, unaltered dumbness. The first Generation of "Kids" would be "interesting" (enjoy the word with precaution) Thing to watch, the "offspring" after hundreds of them should be handled with extreme care and under the usage of (possible) experience. BUT after the 1000th of them still misbehaving (around 7,000,000 individuals) i would blame myself, not them. I hope, that a truly allloving God will give his merciful Actions no border to see and no end to fear. So we all may one day be free of our internal damage and granted with divine presence.
Because when we have kids, we do not have full entire control over what they do, although we can influence them. And yes, they likely will get into some amount of trouble or do some amount of bad but we can't fully control everything they do, and we don't necessarily know everything they do/did/are doing. God knows everything everyone did/does/will do ever, and has infinite power to prevent them from doing it.
King David The flaw with your analogy is that, though we do know that our children will misbehave and upset us, we do not know exactly what or exactly when they will do what they will do. Nice try though.
King David yes but we don't send our kids to eternal damnation for it. According to the bible, Christian's are safe right? But all kids AT SOME POINT will get told off. I'm not gonna send my kid to fiery depths because they didn't brush their teeth or stopped listening to me forever even. I would still love them and would do all I can but I would plan for them to forget I exist before I have them. God should know whether we abandon him or not haha
Eve Roberts “Christians” aren’t safe. It is the ones who love Jesus and follow his will. If you don’t want to be with God for eternity. He won’t make you
God already has declared the end from the beginning, but He deals with us in time and space. He knows how to evoke from us His mindframe and will without violating our free (?) Will.
@@GeneralPatton88 I am going to give you free will but if you don't worship me I am going to throw you into a lake of fire for all eternity. Yeah, that's really free will.....
your parents gives you free will but will not let you smoke weed or use drugs that can ruin your body, see the logic? as simple as abc. that if your parents are drug addict too.
When you create a God in your own image you assign Him, human emotions, and reactions. I think the search for meaning is the whole trip, trying to attribute it all to some sort of Deity you assign him your own definitions of what you look for in a care giver
Having an all powerful god not bound with physical attributes is too easy to use as a solution to any problem. It's like already having an answer with no question, going yep god did that.
@@snowflakebomber9303 God's actions speak louder than words. If God does an evil action, breaking his own commandments then I will not follow a hypocrite.
Catfish Heaven your free will comes from your ability act on your own discretion; so yes you have free will. In fact your a perfect example of it, just by typing out your thoughts and clicking send, you exercised multiple different choices; all of which was by your own accord. The accordance of your and Gods will, has nothing whatsoever to do with your ability to exercise and express your own will. If that was the case God wouldn’t have let you type out and broadcast your mental state into the world; because it wouldn’t be in accordance with his will, of you having the freedom of choice; if God stopped you because your mental state wasn’t in accordance with his own, then yes you would have no free will; but yet your comment is there.
No...if God is truly Sovereign then there is no place for man's FREEWILL...we are not even capable of formulating our own thoughts ..everything is of God.
Look there's no room for Calvinists here the first one got shut down hard by man earlier. Man is free and God is sovereign. God isn't so small that he can't account for our choices "free will" he can rule as he chooses and he chose to make us autonomous free moral agents. Just because he knows the end from the beginning and our actions before we make them doesn't mean he causes said actions to come to pass. Actually it's more amazing that God is sovereign in spite of the choices we make. He's willing that we should all come to repentance and that no one should die but because we're selfish and hard hearted, many of us will have to die because we refuse to change our ways. And we have to do it his way not ours and that's through Jesus.
@@a-aron6724 i am no calvinist ...but it is a biblical fact that man has no free will..that does not mean that man has no will at all..we make choices everyday and we account for them ..but the choices we make are not free of external influences...here is the scripture that proves my point... James4:13 "How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth: When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that." "If it is the Lord's pleasure " it will happen ..so where is you FREEWILL here?? If you have FREEWILL you aught to know a thought before it arrives in your mind for you to think it..that means we must be able to control all the circumstances that are responsible for making us to think in certain ways...only God controls everything. ..and everything is according to his own pleasure..hence only God has FREEWILL..
God could not know the outcome of our decisions prior to happening. If there is a predetermined outcome then there is no true free will. There can be no discussion on this point as this cannot be both true. As a father you can raise a child with certain values and then the child makes lifelong decisions afterwards, sometimes good and sometimes bad or wrong. Then as a father we deal with the aftermath and outcome. One scripture comes to mind that God will not put you through a trial or temptation that you cannot overcome. If that was true then you would never fail the trial because the very fact that you failed means he knew you couldn’t make it.

"We use observational language and the bible uses it the same way" This is a great way to show that God is a placeholder for the unknown and a metaphor, than an actual living entity
Thank you! That analogy was beyond me ! He mentioned that the Bible was written based on observations, contrary to what the Bible says that all scriptures are God breathed. So this God is purely abstract.

Only Jesus Christ saves. Repent and be saved. God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ._
The earth doesn't move. The bible clearly says this. His explanation was too vague. God does has feelings. God gives us free will. He knows the outcome of our choices. Just like he said in the book of exodus Choose ye this blessing or cursing then He says choose blessing. So He wants the best but sometimes we choose the worse.

Except it doesn't. This is what's known as a hand-wave. The two cannot be more disparate, as exemplified by Jesus who not only demonstrated and preached the opposite, but he directly opposed the old supposed laws, saying "you heard this, but I say this". Amos 5:26, John 8:44, Acts 7:43, Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9. I can't cite titles of articles here because they'll be censored, but " they" admit they worship Saturn = Rephan and always have. "They" had 1 of 70 or 80 (depending on the source) sub-gods (angels? demons? To be fair their ripped off Babylonians and others), and then conflated their personal tribal "god" with the one Highest, then pretended they were the same all along. We see this in old versions of their texts, and the plural language is still in most modern versions that haven't swept all the dust under the rug yet.
It's just seeming so illogical... God himself knew moses will pray then he will chnge his mind... Is God doing timepass.. It's like watching own movie again and again knowing the story everything..

First, God loves when his creation comes to him whole hearted with the purest intentions of love and serving his will. I don't think there is nothing he want do when it's his love and grace one seek. We must understand it's love and grace and obedience I have found he admires and not to question his timing but we have been trained as a people that personal convenience in timing is more important or convient then GOD timing. This only my opinion and personal testimony.
Why we need to pray if God knows what's in our mind, everything.? He also know if we're going to pray or not, because He knows everything. Just a question.

That’s a false dichotomy God isn’t earthly parents and Christians aren’t toddlers. God has a decretive as well as a prescriptive will. Study those things and you’ll understand.
Airbolt So you’re changing the subject to the problem of evil. That’s simple, First of all, it is possible that God has reasons for allowing evil to exist that we simply cannot understand. In this, the Christian can have confidence in God knowing that His ways are above our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). As the Bible says, the just shall live by faith (Hab. 2:4). Second, God may be letting evil run its course in order to prove that evil is malignant and that suffering, which is the unfortunate product of evil, is further proof that anything contrary to God’s will is bad, harmful, painful, and leads to death (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 6:23).
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
There's literally no point to getting angry over spilled milk a decade before you were born. So why get angry over something that you knew was gonna happen before it ever happened? And if you knew the choice a person was going to make years before they made it, does that person have free will? I'm thinking we are the ones that get angry, not god.
I think it is still free will. If you place my favorite food in front of me. You already know the possible outcomes. If i eat it you knew i would eat it. If i didn't you also knew i wouldn't. Unless you starved me before hand then you would know for certain i would eat it. In this case it is questionable whether it is free will hence why entrapments are illegal.
@@dinosaur8825 possible outcomes. There can be a million but God still knows which one you going to choose regardless of all the possible outcomes. According to your bible your whole life is written out already.
@@justjuice1264 I prefer to think of it as "You taped last nights Basketball game to watch after work, but someone at work already spoiled who won". Now you can choose to not watch the game anymore and get upset. But just because you knew how the game turns out, does that make the game play out a specific way, or are there many things that can happen in the game? God doesn't mind taped games. There altitude of variables that can happen in a game regardless of outcome.
@@Washius that's completely different. You looking at it from a human perspective because you right I only know what the outcome of the game is and have to watch that tape to find out how the game was won but that not the case with God. God already knows everything .
To me, anger in any way, will never really cause anything good to happen, even, or mayby especially when it supposedly is the anger of God. The more loving and gentle I am towards my children, no matter what they do, the more likely will be a good outcome. If any anger comes into play, it will always cause damage to happen. Therefore, to me, God is the source of unconditional love, meaning that her certainly may not like sin, but always show love and gentleness towards everyone, especially the sinners.. It is this unconditional love that draws people to being good, not fear.. Sure, people may change their outer behaviour when they fear, but the heart will only change by unconditional love.. In that sense, a God that works with anger and fear, is not the God I believe in..
Then the God you believe in is not the true God of the bible. If you are truly saved, you become God's son or daughter. You will still commit sin, and God, as a true Father will correct and chasten you, whether sickness, troubles in life, even death if you do it over and over, but you will not lose your salvation. And the Lord will help you to overcome the many sins that grieves you. Fear of the Lord is not the same as fearing a serial killer or a horror-movie monster. It's fear out of reverence and respect for the God of the universe who created us, who everyday allows us to draw breath, to have food to eat, water to drink, a warm house during winter, etc. And it's that fear out of respect that will make us study his word and understand him, and make us wise toward salvation: Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. When you get saved, the chastening is to teach you as a son, to not do those sins because they affect you in a negative way (sins are of the flesh: drinking alcohol damages your internal organs, smoking destroys your lungs, drugs destroys your body and mind, lusting leads to fornication and std's). It's for your own good. Any child without discipline from the parents, will grow up to be wicked, in so many different ways and end up being miserable and lost. Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: Now the lost people, meaning those who rejected the gift of salvation of Jesus Christ our God, are appointed to God's wrath, not just anger. It's not the Lord's fault, we all have a choice to get saved, but some don't want to get saved because it means giving up sins which has become a normal part of most people's daily lives.They don't want to be responsible or held accountable for their actions. Because it will take true effort to change. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And the lost people cannot blame God if they get damned because the Lord gives so many chances and warnings if only they would read the bible (the King James Version is the only true version in the english language). But most people would rather watch TV or hollywood movies full of violence and sex for hours, go to the bar, play video games or listen to worldy music, wasting time needlessly. That's the lie that is perpetuated, that God loves unconditionally. Because if you believe this, then why would you want to repent of your ways, or put some effort into changing your life, for it will cost you your friends, loved ones, even family to follow the Lord. If God loves unconditionally, then there's no need to sacrifice all those things to be saved. This philosophy will damn many people into hell. It's not easy, but if you favor your soul living in eternity more than your short life here on earth in your fleshly body that could die at any time, and rot, then you would seriously consider getting saved for your soul's sake. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

To me that way of "changing people" rather seems like a chrakteristic of mankind, or of powers being in need of manipulative tools to compensate the lack of being a true living example of real unconditional love, gentlenesse, kindness, knowledge, wisdom and gentle pursuation.. As a Father, I never want my children to do good out of fearing what may happen if they dont do good, but I want them to do good becaue they desire it, because they tastes goodness from my example, and because they understand what it truely means to be good..or in other words, I dont want them to pretend something for the false reasons, for example to love their parents out of fear of getting beaten if they dont. I went through a lot of pain and suffering, and this is the God I found.. You may call it a false God, but to me its the most authentic and real one... And to make one thing clear, to love unconditionally does not mean that we dont experience consequences, its obvious there are eternal laws that can not be ignored that we are all subject to. So, to experience pain and suffering is no contradiction to God posessing unconditional love for us, it simply means our actions and intentions judge us, and cause the consequences, not God our Father. All the best to you
Moses did not " change God's mind." Isaiah 1:18 says," come and let us reason together. " Everything that happens in the Bible is to used as an example for human kinds. God is teaching us that we all can come and REPENT. It's another way of showing us, "ask and you shall receive."

He is being respectful. We should expect all people to be so. And, we as Christians should be respectful to others we disagree with as well.

One of my favorite stories is how Abraham negotiated with God to spare Sodom and Ghemora. God knew already that there wasn't any righteous person to be found but He indulged Abraham because his heart was in the right place. It showed God's love and patience and also the pleasure God had with Abraham.
Wow I thought about this too before and wasn’t too sure but now I’m clear of what it is about. Thx for mentioning
I’ve always pondered this. God even asked Lot to find someone in Sodom and Ghemora who is without sin, then he will spare the cities. But, this is kind of a trick request. As we are all born into sin. What I ponder is, weren’t there any children in these cities? I’m sure there were. Weren’t the lives of these children worth saving? Not just Lots family? I’d appreciate a reasonable reply to this.
What chapter is this in?
@@Yoyo.7769 Genesis 18
@@BenjoReacts Very good question. The thing is...what was predominant in those times was the corruption of the true blood line of Adam who God created. Satan had a plan to corrupt man with his own identity to permanently keep us in sin. That's why there were nephilims (giants) back then. Many abominations were so normal at that time, like sleeping with animals, same sex and so on... this corruption was brought about through sex between the fallen angels and women/men. God was grieved at this. Sad to say there was no way back. The mark of the beast will be just like that. A corruption to man. As for the children, they were most likely of the same corrupted blood line which needed to end. But I believe they might not perish for all eternity, unlike the adults who knew what they were doing. I'd like to also remind you that this was one of the key reasons for the flood in Noah's time. But unfortunately it continued afterwards.

He wanted to see where Moses’s heart was, just like in the beginning when he asked where Adam was. He was asking where Adam was hiding, He wanted Adam to confess where his heart was and see if he would take accountability.
I really like the example with Adam hiding from God
@@lasercat538 yeah he tried to hide thinking God wouldn’t know where he was. God knew where he was hiding and where his heart was. God just wanted a confession.

Good point. Didn't really think of it like that...thank you brother or sister... I see two people in your online picture LOL
No, the only reason (on two separate occasions, I might add) that God headed Moses’ petition to spare the Israelites was because Moses appealed to his ego: It was only lest the nations should hold Yahweh in lower esteem that he didn’t kill them. His motive was entirely self-interested. This is backed up by Deuteronomy 32:26-27. God only spared them so that others wouldn’t take the credit.
“God is always angry at sin.” Excellent point.

anger is a sin.

"I'm not well versed (or chaptered) in the Bible." Come on, this guy was born to be a dad.
@John Washington its a dad joke. He saying he’s not well versed in the bible ( doesn’t know much about it, or hasn’t researched the contents) but he makes the joke ‘or chaptered’ because the bible has verses and chapters. Not a funny joke but no Dad jokes are lmao
@John Washington When Christians refer to part of the bible, they cite the Chapter and Verse. Maybe you've heard of John 3:16. John is the book, 3 would be the chapter, 16 the verse. So being well-versed, in regard to the Bible, has an almost literal meaning that a person has an intimate familiarity with the bible down to the verse level of detail. "Chaptered" while not an actual term anyone uses would imply a more broad familiarity with the bible with less detailed understanding or nuance.

I don’t understand the comparison. You can be a dad and not be well versed.

I can understand you want the best for the original poster, and you're trying to point him in the path with the least suffering(pretty sure that's what we all want). Why our views differ is basically how life after death works, do you want to try enjoying your current life on earth or are you concerned about where you spend your afterlife which is eternal.
From my experience in dealing with sexual sin, it really helps if you keep your eyes on the end goal. I disagree that he should quit just because it causes more internal conflicts. I know from experience after years of trying to justify my sin, the truth is, if you're genuine in trying to quit, God will help.
That's why we need the Holy Spirit to understand His word from His perspective.
The Holy Spirit. Like when you don't know what to pray, so the Holy Spirit fills you and you speak in tongues. It's like you are the sock puppet and the Holy Spirit is the hand. Sorry this sounds rude. I just find it very strange that people actually believe such things.
@@Well_possibly We humans are tri-dimensional being meaning we are made of spirit, soul (character, personality, etc), body.

Without the help and leading of the Holy Spirit, we won't be able to be be transform and become like Jesus and impact the world which is our main purpose on earth. Now, the Holy spirit is there to lead us bt it doesn't force itself on us just like God has given us humans the free will to accept and serve him or to live however we want in this world. This means that we have the choice to accept the nudging and leading of the Holy Spirit (and yes as a believer you can tell when the Holy Spirit is trying to lead you to do something). Pleass remember that we as believers have a choice to follow Jesus, his precepts or not because at the end of the day He is a loving and gracious God who will never force himself on me and you nor does he want us to become hus brainless, puppeteer servants either. Hope this helps
Hello everyone
Why not cut out the middleman... spirit and communicate directly with the creations he loves so much? Leaves 0% chance for misinterpretation.
@@andrew_stamps God can't cut out the Holy Spirit because He is also the Holy Spirit. God is triune, tri-dimensional (3 in 1), God, the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. They are all spirit beings that have their own individualities and roles bt are also interdependent and interconnected at the same time. Hard to make sense of if you're are not a believer, not just Christian cuz there is a difference between the two. Since, we humans are spirit beings also (see my above comment), God gives us the Holy Spirit to Lead, guide, help, and empower us in our walks with Him on earth. Now God does communicates himself directly to us, through the Holy Spirit, and via various other ways with us his creations since He is the ultimate creator after all. You can't come to know nor understand God the Father unless you first acknowledge that Jesus Christ is His son that he came and died for your (our) sins in order to reconcile us back to the Father. And the key to having this acces is faith (Belief) in jesus and accepting (inviting) Him into your life as your savior. I hope this make sense. Most importantly, please remember that God loves us all and would love nothing bt for us to come to him. Bt He doesn't himself force on anyone of one of us. We all have been given free will to choose to believe Jesus or not. Just like you have the choice to do good or bad in life. So the choice is yours. I hope this helps.

@Googlesucks Fkyougoogle Human you don't know me. But one thing is true, you need to repent. You give real Christians a bad name, you call Christians cowards but declare yourself to be one? hypocrite. Here is a real born again Christian doing you a world of favor... Repent! in the name of Yeshua The Messiah and turn away from your wicked ways with your New Age belief. Also because your're lost and have no faith, Jesse Lee Peterson is a false prophet. Christ spoke of you false converts and false prophets, claiming to be a child of The most High God. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are". You're that Child. REPENT.
Googlesucks Fkyougoogle, prayer is supposed to be a communication between you and God, not a moment where we’re silent. God speaks to us through the Bible, we speak to Him through prayer. God also uses prayer as a way to align us with His will, He already knows what He wants and what you want, and oftentimes our will doesn’t align with His will. As the Lord’s prayer goes: “your will be done”, not ours. He also wants us to talk to Him because it helps us, it calms anxieties and lulls depression and stress, just ranting to God about nothing and everything, pouring out our hearts, it helps. The Bible specifically says in 1 Peter 5:7 “cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.” And Psalms 55:22 says “cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you, He will never let the righteous be shaken.” In the Bible we see a clear picture of God’s love and care for us, and through prayer He lets us have a safe place to go and let our guard down, a place where we’re heard because He wants to listen to us, He doesn’t care if we mess up our words, we’re imperfect and He only wants us to be real with Him; not because of Him, because He already knows everything you need, but because of us - because He knows the importance of relaxing and having someone there to listen, and He gives us that thanks to His amazing grace.

In my view, I always thought of it as God testing Moses, as he knows Moses willingly would take the blame.

God knows the best but He listens to pleadings so that we might not think He's too hard. But there's a limit to how much He can say yes to. Just like parents who knows candies are bad for children, sometimes when the child pleads so hard, it softens the heart of the parents and gives what the child wants. But there's a limit of course.
When God draws the line, He makes it known and there's a reason why.

Hasn't he already made that decision? So therefore, is he making people just to send them to Hell, and do we even have free will if our fate is metaphorically already written?
@@levipascoe2587 I wouldn't say nothing happens that He doesn't want to happen; Jesus said He willed that none should perish. You wouldn't want to force any of your children to live with you if they said they despised you and didn't want to, right? I believe we're all Angels (immortal light beings) trapped in host bodies and have two choices; continue in the insurrection or accept the resurrection.
WebDev your avatar is kinda macabre for a believer. Just saying!
@@billclancy4436 Well wait a minute doesn't that mean we have the ability to defy an omnipotent beings will? If it's his will and he can create universes with a thought, how could we possibly defy it? And no of course I wouldn't force my child to live with me against their will, but I wouldn't force them to suffer unimaginably for all eternity because they wanted something different. You could argue our free will allows us to make the decision but it's not really free will. If someone threatened to brutally slaughter my wife and child but said they wouldn't do it if I sang their praise, I wouldn't really call it free will. I'd call being threatened, manipulated, and controlled. I could for sure do what I wanted but my family will experience a horrific fate. And I surely wouldn't say that person threatening them loved them, even if he was offering them...say a million dollars. Especially if he could just stop the threat and give them the money.

Yes, God is a God of emotion; anger, sadness, love, even repentance; etc. God also, in order to have a relationship with His people, "suspends His omniscience in order to interact with them. Yes, God changes His mind, even learns some things. It doesn't make Him less than God, it's Him trying to relate to His finite creation.
No he doesn't change his mind and is all knowing
Awesome! God is God but human like us(but not like us ) ,christ prove it!
So God can interact with man & thereby change the futures outcome based upon that interaction. That's awesome so once saved doesnt necessarily mean always saved cause it is dependent on our interactions with God.

I really like this answer since whenever I think about God "hardening Pharaoh's heart," it made me wonder how much agency Pharaoh had. I have since used a model that we are all responsible to choose whether we want to follow God or not, but from the observer's perspective, God acts through them regardless. So if I did end up not choosing to follow God and hardened my own heart, God would still use my stubbornness, mistakes, and sin in a way that's still part of his plan (while also smiting me for my decisions). From the outside perspective, it can be seen as God still working through me (like Pharaoh in Exodus or the neo-Babylonians in Habbakuk) to the outside observer.
Or the third option there isn’t a god.
@@shroomer8294which is silly
I liked the moment he said the bible is written from an observer's perspective...not many people know this
Actually the Bible was written by the descendent of one of Jesus disciples‼️
@Madara Uchiha That's not the case. When you read the Bible, you will see that the Narrator is never "coy". God may not share everything with the character in the book, say Adam or Abram, but the Narrator of the book will never hide the truth. Moreover, God has a right to keep secrets. The Bible is both God's and Man's perspective precisely because God wants us to have the veil lifted from our eyes when we read it. Just because God didn't physically write the Bible we hold in our hands this very day does not mean it is not his own word.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Oh and btw Madara Uchiha, to respond to your below post. Nowhere in Exodus does it say that the pyramids were built on the backs of the Jews. They built storehouses and such, nothing more. Even then, Ramses wasn't likely the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Some argue it was Thutmose the III, but there are a few other candidates as well. There is archaeological evidence of Egyptians taking slaves known as the "Apiru" or "Habiru" as well as them bemoaning how plentiful the Habiru were.

The same goes for the story of Abraham and ISaac. People always ask why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice his child if God already knew how faithful Abraham was?
The answer is, the exercise of sacrifice was not for Abraham to prove he had faith. God already knew he had faith and trust in him. It was a lesson in faith for us, future generations. As told, they wrote it down. That lesson was to be passed on to us, in order for us to understand the level of faith and trust that God wants us to have.

No. Not biblical at all. All things work according to His good will and purpose. All things have been either caused by God or allowed to happen by God for His good will and purpose. Just like Joseph. He allowed Joseph’s brothers to sell him into slavery so He could save the lineage of Israel through Joseph during the famine.
I can get what you are saying, I for one think this, I could be wrong, however I dont believe God punishes for being mistaken. anyway, think on this, if he knew all that will happen, why let it happen? why ask the question if the answer is known? why take the journey, if you are at the destination? what is the purpose, if the purpose is already known? I think he knows us! he knows how we are! thus he can predict what we will do! Yes, I beleive he guides things, sets things in motion, acts when needed, but from there on its up to us! why else give us free will?
Allowing = freewill
@@CatfishHeaven777 by that logic, we don't have freewill. I second Bryce's opinion.

It's so sad when someone says that their parent is a Christian but they are not versed in the Bible.
Its entirely natural. Many people struggle with what parts of their upbringing to accept and what to reject and part of those decisions is where they stand on religion. Even for those that keep the religion their parents had, they often develope completely different ideas about it and different interpretations.
The cool part is that this young man has the courage to be up front about his doubts and is making a genuine attempt to reconcile them. Many in his possition just choose to remain steady in their doubt and never look for the answers to their questions, just assuming they dont exist.
So you're father/mother is a doctor hypothetically and want you to follow in there footsteps and you don't want that path is that sad?

@@ilynpayne7491 how could I fear hell or believe in it if I don’t believe in God? God is truly real and has saved me from my darkest days. Jesus loved me when it seemed like no one else would. This is why I praise him and give him glory. I pray one day that you come to know him. But if you don’t ever give him at least a chance to see if he’s real, then there’s no point in trying to convince you. Ask him to reveal himself to you and he will show up. You are loved and are worthy to be on this planet and have a great purpose… but it’s up to you to answer the call, be blessed and may God shine his countenance upon you!
The Lord has a soft spot for His humble servant. Most things they ask, however absurb, the Lord grant it.
For example, when Joshua ask the sun to rise up from the west instead of east, the Lord did it for Joshua.
But all these little scenario does not change the bible timeline at all. Even if it does, the Lord can easily put back the revelation chapter according to His Will.
Lol, God hardened Pharaoh's heart and then made Joseph perform some simple magic tricks that could be copied by the Pharaoh's own magicians, knowing that he had made it so Pharaoh would not look kindly on Joseph. God is manipulative and will stand in the way of his followers. He allowed Job's life to be destroyed for the sake of a bet with the devil and thought that just replacing his wife and daughters with new ones would make everything cool.

God has given man free will. The Earth is a farm, all that God has done is put in place a plan. All that God knows just as any farmer is that some crops will do better than others
Its a bit like I know the score from England v Iceland but when I watch the match back I cant change it even though I would love to!
But the difference here is you don't condemn the losing team to an eternity of hell in the football game that you did not make them play. God, on the other hand, puts us on Earth, knowing whether or not we will accept Christ (assuming that is the criteria to get into heaven), and then punishes us with an eternity of hell for what he knows we'll choose even before he puts us on Earth. So tell me, how is that God an all loving God?
Justin W there would be no love at all if he made us all worship him. This is why we have free will. Gods not going to make you have an eternity with him if you don’t want to.
Ethan Keating - however before you were even born, god knew what and when you gonna do and where you gonna end (otherwise he is not a god), therefor you have no free will, you dipstick!!!
Božský Boch just because I know the score of a game and go back and watch the game doesn’t mean I controlled the game. If we didn’t have free will then god would be evil which he is not. He is the definition of goodness. You don’t have a good understanding of the biblical God. Don’t be surprised there are certain things of the created of the universe you can’t understand. It’s like an ant staring a sky scraper. No matter how much they look at it or how long they can’t understand it comepletly
@@jwongky2791 hey there, i think you got it twisted. after Adam's sin, we-his descendants are on a path to hell. there's nothing we can do about it, we just don't have the power to get off that road. then God comes and offers a different path to heaven to those who are willing to take it. God does not send people to hell, our nature does that. what He does is offer us an alternative to hell should we want one!
I actually came up with a really good analogy, it goes like this and I don't think people can really counter this either because their life proves it to be true. Here it is. Ask anyone who has kids or would have kids. Say "Before you had kids or are going to have kids one day are you fully aware that your kids are going to do or may do bad things even before you had them or will have them???" EXACTLY!!! You were fully aware that when you have kids or a kid they may or will do bad things, YET you had them??? WHY is that??? Why do you say God cannot do this YET you do it in your own life??? You literally are proving our point, it is no different that God giving life to beings that can do wrong and you purposely having kids FULLY AWARE they will do bad things. If you know your child will do bad things why did you still have them????
Best analogy ever. Anyone with children has no RIGHT to even question why God would create a being that can do wrong when they have kids and did the same thing God did, being a hypocrite because they were also fully aware.
But its because you want and expect GOOD you have kids, nobody has kids and cannot wait until they disobey them. You have them hoping they will love you JUST like God expects us to love him.
Actually now that I think that having kids is pretty self reflection of God, God was fully aware the beings he created COULD do bad things just like any parent was FULLY aware that having a kid that kid might and COULD do bad things.
The point is, you want LOVE, most parents probably want kids becasue they want love out of that kid and want to love them back and ect.
So how can you question Gods motive when you as PARENTS done the same exact thing proving you are made in Gods imagine and think alike.
Well, that one is pretty easy!
I dont have Kids, but when i do, i wont:
a) Have a large, overproportionally growing number of Kids, live in a world of predefined distance to me, where it is their Moral duty to reach out to me, because i require a phenomenal amount of direct, conscious worship. (in the analogy: i will never let them fully grow up to "move out", instead i decide to take a stance in the Fashion of a "helicopter parent")
b) have them suffer because of their older "siblings" (Adam and Eve). I will allow them to go against each other for different reasons, amongst them: religious wars, uncontrolled reproductive Impetus, scarcity of ressources etc.
c) Dispense my Moral helps against the aforementioned b) very disproportional at an altering rate through the ages and with a huge (!) differece depending on the local Christian confession.
-until this Point this would be manageable through apokatastasis ton panton (salvation of all), ending this seemingly endless, but in the end immensely small period of diverse suffering, but:
d) have most of them (read Matthew) suffer for their choices eternally because of their inherited, unaltered dumbness.
The first Generation of "Kids" would be "interesting" (enjoy the word with precaution) Thing to watch, the "offspring" after hundreds of them should be handled with extreme care and under the usage of (possible) experience. BUT after the 1000th of them still misbehaving (around 7,000,000 individuals) i would blame myself, not them.
I hope, that a truly allloving God will give his merciful Actions no border to see and no end to fear. So we all may one day be free of our internal damage and granted with divine presence.
Because when we have kids, we do not have full entire control over what they do, although we can influence them. And yes, they likely will get into some amount of trouble or do some amount of bad but we can't fully control everything they do, and we don't necessarily know everything they do/did/are doing. God knows everything everyone did/does/will do ever, and has infinite power to prevent them from doing it.
King David The flaw with your analogy is that, though we do know that our children will misbehave and upset us, we do not know exactly what or exactly when they will do what they will do. Nice try though.
King David yes but we don't send our kids to eternal damnation for it. According to the bible, Christian's are safe right? But all kids AT SOME POINT will get told off. I'm not gonna send my kid to fiery depths because they didn't brush their teeth or stopped listening to me forever even. I would still love them and would do all I can but I would plan for them to forget I exist before I have them. God should know whether we abandon him or not haha
Eve Roberts “Christians” aren’t safe. It is the ones who love Jesus and follow his will. If you don’t want to be with God for eternity. He won’t make you

Catfish Heaven your free will comes from your ability act on your own discretion; so yes you have free will.
In fact your a perfect example of it, just by typing out your thoughts and clicking send, you exercised multiple different choices; all of which was by your own accord.
The accordance of your and Gods will, has nothing whatsoever to do with your ability to exercise and express your own will.
If that was the case God wouldn’t have let you type out and broadcast your mental state into the world; because it wouldn’t be in accordance with his will, of you having the freedom of choice; if God stopped you because your mental state wasn’t in accordance with his own, then yes you would have no free will; but yet your comment is there.
No...if God is truly Sovereign then there is no place for man's FREEWILL...we are not even capable of formulating our own thoughts ..everything is of God.
Look there's no room for Calvinists here the first one got shut down hard by man earlier. Man is free and God is sovereign. God isn't so small that he can't account for our choices "free will" he can rule as he chooses and he chose to make us autonomous free moral agents. Just because he knows the end from the beginning and our actions before we make them doesn't mean he causes said actions to come to pass. Actually it's more amazing that God is sovereign in spite of the choices we make.
He's willing that we should all come to repentance and that no one should die but because we're selfish and hard hearted, many of us will have to die because we refuse to change our ways. And we have to do it his way not ours and that's through Jesus.
@@a-aron6724 i am no calvinist ...but it is a biblical fact that man has no free will..that does not mean that man has no will at all..we make choices everyday and we account for them ..but the choices we make are not free of external influences...here is the scripture that proves my point...
James4:13 "How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:
When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone
But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that."
"If it is the Lord's pleasure " it will happen ..so where is you FREEWILL here?? If you have FREEWILL you aught to know a thought before it arrives in your mind for you to think it..that means we must be able to control all the circumstances that are responsible for making us to think in certain ways...only God controls everything. ..and everything is according to his own pleasure..hence only God has FREEWILL..
God could not know the outcome of our decisions prior to happening. If there is a predetermined outcome then there is no true free will. There can be no discussion on this point as this cannot be both true. As a father you can raise a child with certain values and then the child makes lifelong decisions afterwards, sometimes good and sometimes bad or wrong. Then as a father we deal with the aftermath and outcome. One scripture comes to mind that God will not put you through a trial or temptation that you cannot overcome. If that was true then you would never fail the trial because the very fact that you failed means he knew you couldn’t make it.

@@mitchellc4 grow up and enjoy life. God will become a myth just like dragons 😐
Although most religious ppl say we can't understand God bc he's mysterious they sure do know a lot about him and how he thinks as well as know what he love and hate. 🤔
We just know what he revealed about himself in the scriptures but we can never fully understand his majesty as it’s to great for us.
@@Silk837 not true. Ppl know God better then God knows himself based on the things I've heard about him, both good and evil things.
@@Eric-ej3oy Yet again, exactly what you mentioned, such as what he considers moral and just are what he revealed about himself in the scriptures.
@@Silk837 religious ppl also know what it's gonna be like in heaven. They know the ins and outs of the bible and about god.
@@Eric-ej3oy The reason we know that is because its what is revealed in the scripture also known as the Bible. We get description for Heaven in Revelation 21:1-4 and Matthew 6-19-21.
*_Revelation 6.13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”_*
_Jesus Christ loves you. Only Jesus Christ saves. Repent and be saved. God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ._
Frank you are a great gift for the kingdom of God
The earth doesn't move. The bible clearly says this. His explanation was too vague. God does has feelings. God gives us free will. He knows the outcome of our choices. Just like he said in the book of exodus
Choose ye this blessing or cursing then He says choose blessing. So He wants the best but sometimes we choose the worse.
@@johnhaslett6714 Scientific observations indicate that the earth revolves around the sun.
Also, in no part of the Bible does it say that the sun revolves around the earth.
@@Mr_L-oi9re I greatly enjoy these discussions. I have had to continuously show Christians and others they have been duped into a worshipped system and has been mislabeled as science. But if you cgi as evidence or phony made up calculations go ahead. These men that wrote these scriptures were inspired by the Spirit of Lord. I do believe geocentric is very accurate. All these concepts took over our school system when the Bible was removed.
@@johnhaslett6714 1: My dear friend, for people like you, people stop believing in Christianity and in God.
2: Science is not a "blind and idolatrous worship system."
It is a method with which we can know, investigate and discover the things that surround us.
From a Christian perspective, science is the method by which we examine the creation of God.
3: Do you believe in the geocentric system?
At the rate that you will end up believing that the earth is flat.
4: What are the scientific evidences (or Biblicas) that say that the sun revolves around the earth?
@@Mr_L-oi9re I admit you are fascinating but a little slow with your critical thinking. Most of your science about space revolves around shows like Star Trek and Star Wars. It is quite fascinating with all this romanticizing about traveling to other planets. It is hilarious but extremely fake and false advertising. Your whole solar system is mostly named after pagan deities. Yes your eyes can see stars a billion miles away but you can't really see two miles away on earth. You are living in fantasy not reality. You should go back and check the Michelson and Morley experiment. I have met indoctrinated people who believe they are intelligent simply because they recite science fiction as fact. You are a pagan worshipper.
I love the way he explains this!!!❤️
Except it doesn't. This is what's known as a hand-wave. The two cannot be more disparate, as exemplified by Jesus who not only demonstrated and preached the opposite, but he directly opposed the old supposed laws, saying "you heard this, but I say this". Amos 5:26, John 8:44, Acts 7:43, Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9. I can't cite titles of articles here because they'll be censored, but " they" admit they worship Saturn = Rephan and always have. "They" had 1 of 70 or 80 (depending on the source) sub-gods (angels? demons? To be fair their ripped off Babylonians and others), and then conflated their personal tribal "god" with the one Highest, then pretended they were the same all along. We see this in old versions of their texts, and the plural language is still in most modern versions that haven't swept all the dust under the rug yet.
It's just seeming so illogical... God himself knew moses will pray then he will chnge his mind... Is God doing timepass.. It's like watching own movie again and again knowing the story everything..
''We are always changing; He is never going to.
We struggle all our lives to become as He is...
When finally we change Carnal to Immortal...
To the point where We'll never have to change too.'' ~ William Gilpin 10720
That... Was actually a really good point, you won't hear any qualms from me
First, God loves when his creation comes to him whole hearted with the purest intentions of love and serving his will. I don't think there is nothing he want do when it's his love and grace one seek. We must understand it's love and grace and obedience I have found he admires and not to question his timing but we have been trained as a people that personal convenience in timing is more important or convient then GOD timing. This only my opinion and personal testimony.
This is what prayers are for , the creator listens to us and if he finds it fitting he grants us our wishes
Why we need to pray if God knows what's in our mind, everything.? He also know if we're going to pray or not, because He knows everything. Just a question.
@@sari-saringvlog2076 Good Question, A mother knows when her child needs food or anything but still it takes the child to ask her for that , simply we have been created to worship the one God so it is quite clear that he is all knowing and it is us who are worshipers and need to ask him for all our wishes
Such a great answer. Glad I clicked, gonna sub too
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

No Jesus didn’t use Exodus 3 in John 8
Jesus said before Abraham was born “ego eimi” which means I am he
Multiple people say ego eimi in the New Testament, but you’re not saying the are God?
John 9
9 Some said, “It is he”; others said, “No, but he is like him.” He said, “I am the man.”
I am the man= ego eimi
The blind man just said ego eimi, did he just refer to Exodus and claim to be God?? Of course not
I believe in the Greek translation of Exodus it says
“Ego eimi HO ON”
Tell them “HO ON” has sent you (I Am has sent you)
Had Jesus said HO ON you may have a point, but he didn’t
@@mitchellc4 he said i was the great I AM. And either way, he said he was the son of G-d. No man is the son of G-d. Of course, he became a man.

Hhhhhhmmmmmmm.....we learn everyday
Thank you so much for this beautiful post, we change, GOD is constant amen
If God is constant, why does he change his mind? Why would his emotions change?
A parent knows "everything" comparing to a toddler. However, he can "change his mind" because of LOVE.
Unfortunately the difference between omnipotence and being a parent is large
That’s a false dichotomy God isn’t earthly parents and Christians aren’t toddlers. God has a decretive as well as a prescriptive will. Study those things and you’ll understand.
Pat Hanley god still created the universe if any of this is real, so drowning children isn’t exactly a great thing
Airbolt So you’re changing the subject to the problem of evil. That’s simple, First of all, it is possible that God has reasons for allowing evil to exist that we simply cannot understand. In this, the Christian can have confidence in God knowing that His ways are above our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). As the Bible says, the just shall live by faith (Hab. 2:4).
Second, God may be letting evil run its course in order to prove that evil is malignant and that suffering, which is the unfortunate product of evil, is further proof that anything contrary to God’s will is bad, harmful, painful, and leads to death (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 6:23).
Are you actually comparing a human to an omnipotent entity?
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
God was testing Moses and taught him something about himself!
@Lamin Jalloh but the person does not know the outcome and the lesson that he is about to learn about himself to move forward.
Why God should test his own messenger or son .! Does not God Trust his children Why there is a doubt in the first place ? think and anwer
The bible also says that the earth does not move...So it doesnt spin or goes around the sun. The sun moon and stars move around us.
You are correct from our perspective the world doesn't move.
There's literally no point to getting angry over spilled milk a decade before you were born. So why get angry over something that you knew was gonna happen before it ever happened? And if you knew the choice a person was going to make years before they made it, does that person have free will?
I'm thinking we are the ones that get angry, not god.
I think it is still free will.
If you place my favorite food in front of me. You already know the possible outcomes.
If i eat it you knew i would eat it. If i didn't you also knew i wouldn't.
Unless you starved me before hand then you would know for certain i would eat it. In this case it is questionable whether it is free will hence why entrapments are illegal.
@@dinosaur8825 possible outcomes. There can be a million but God still knows which one you going to choose regardless of all the possible outcomes. According to your bible your whole life is written out already.

@@justjuice1264 I prefer to think of it as "You taped last nights Basketball game to watch after work, but someone at work already spoiled who won".
Now you can choose to not watch the game anymore and get upset. But just because you knew how the game turns out, does that make the game play out a specific way, or are there many things that can happen in the game?
God doesn't mind taped games. There altitude of variables that can happen in a game regardless of outcome.
@@Washius that's completely different. You looking at it from a human perspective because you right I only know what the outcome of the game is and have to watch that tape to find out how the game was won but that not the case with God. God already knows everything .
I did in fact think that God wasn't as wise for Moses to change God actions. Im very thankful to have watched this video and see the truth!!!
Great question even better answer, may God bless and protect Caleb
To me, anger in any way, will never really cause anything good to happen, even, or mayby especially when it supposedly is the anger of God. The more loving and gentle I am towards my children, no matter what they do, the more likely will be a good outcome. If any anger comes into play, it will always cause damage to happen. Therefore, to me, God is the source of unconditional love, meaning that her certainly may not like sin, but always show love and gentleness towards everyone, especially the sinners.. It is this unconditional love that draws people to being good, not fear.. Sure, people may change their outer behaviour when they fear, but the heart will only change by unconditional love.. In that sense, a God that works with anger and fear, is not the God I believe in..
Then the God you believe in is not the true God of the bible. If you are truly saved, you become God's son or daughter. You will still commit sin, and God, as a true Father will correct and chasten you, whether sickness, troubles in life, even death if you do it over and over, but you will not lose your salvation. And the Lord will help you to overcome the many sins that grieves you.
Fear of the Lord is not the same as fearing a serial killer or a horror-movie monster. It's fear out of reverence and respect for the God of the universe who created us, who everyday allows us to draw breath, to have food to eat, water to drink, a warm house during winter, etc. And it's that fear out of respect that will make us study his word and understand him, and make us wise toward salvation:
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
When you get saved, the chastening is to teach you as a son, to not do those sins because they affect you in a negative way (sins are of the flesh: drinking alcohol damages your internal organs, smoking destroys your lungs, drugs destroys your body and mind, lusting leads to fornication and std's). It's for your own good. Any child without discipline from the parents, will grow up to be wicked, in so many different ways and end up being miserable and lost.
Job 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Now the lost people, meaning those who rejected the gift of salvation of Jesus Christ our God, are appointed to God's wrath, not just anger. It's not the Lord's fault, we all have a choice to get saved, but some don't want to get saved because it means giving up sins which has become a normal part of most people's daily lives.They don't want to be responsible or held accountable for their actions. Because it will take true effort to change.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
And the lost people cannot blame God if they get damned because the Lord gives so many chances and warnings if only they would read the bible (the King James Version is the only true version in the english language). But most people would rather watch TV or hollywood movies full of violence and sex for hours, go to the bar, play video games or listen to worldy music, wasting time needlessly.
That's the lie that is perpetuated, that God loves unconditionally. Because if you believe this, then why would you want to repent of your ways, or put some effort into changing your life, for it will cost you your friends, loved ones, even family to follow the Lord. If God loves unconditionally, then there's no need to sacrifice all those things to be saved. This philosophy will damn many people into hell.
It's not easy, but if you favor your soul living in eternity more than your short life here on earth in your fleshly body that could die at any time, and rot, then you would seriously consider getting saved for your soul's sake.
2 Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
@@user_fnnrqGpb2Ac0_3HX40-IA You are right, we do not believe in the same God, though at some point in my life, we obviously did. I see how anger, fear, guilt, shame and the threath of eternal punishment do posess the power to change the outer behaviour of people, but it completely lacks the power of truely changing the hearts. To me that way of "changing people" rather seems like a chrakteristic of mankind, or of powers being in need of manipulative tools to compensate the lack of being a true living example of real unconditional love, gentlenesse, kindness, knowledge, wisdom and gentle pursuation..
As a Father, I never want my children to do good out of fearing what may happen if they dont do good, but I want them to do good becaue they desire it, because they tastes goodness from my example, and because they understand what it truely means to be good..or in other words, I dont want them to pretend something for the false reasons, for example to love their parents out of fear of getting beaten if they dont.
I went through a lot of pain and suffering, and this is the God I found.. You may call it a false God, but to me its the most authentic and real one... And to make one thing clear, to love unconditionally does not mean that we dont experience consequences, its obvious there are eternal laws that can not be ignored that we are all subject to. So, to experience pain and suffering is no contradiction to God posessing unconditional love for us, it simply means our actions and intentions judge us, and cause the consequences, not God our Father.
All the best to you
Fantastic explanation. And prayers for Caleb. Seems like a great bloke.
We were created free...we were giving the power of reasoning...therefore we can learn, grow, God knows us even before we are created..
Moses did not " change God's mind." Isaiah 1:18 says," come and let us reason together. " Everything that happens in the Bible is to used as an example for human kinds. God is teaching us that we all can come and REPENT. It's another way of showing us, "ask and you shall receive."
@Rock Yes, sir. I am a servant of God, and I love Jesus. Thanks.
@Rock what is your goal here, dude ? How does that relate to the Bible ? Where are you going with this ?
@Rock You suddenly sound like an internet predator overseas seeking for something very specific. SERIOUSLY !
@Rock You're probably one of those thieves who migrate to Toronto. Stop using the name of God to scam people. You garbage ! You are not in any position to know who is righteous, you thief !
@Rock it can also foreshadow Christ being the intermediator for us like Moses was with the Israelites
That teacher was spot on... wow i hope that helped the young man and gave him the answers he needed
