Do you think its a sin to engage in homosexuality. My mom knows you from tswassen she says you skated at sdbc. I just want to know where your at with your ideologies. If you are ok with gay I will stick to my tolkien and cs lewis.
Guys thank you, to be honest im a victim of bullying injustice by most women at a very young age, i was picked on by girls, accused being disgusting and ugly even when i was born with mild autism and epilepsy. At first i thought its justice to do the same and think in atempt to punish women who abuse their rights toward men and distrust all of them who are out of my family bloodline, but i realized that i was committing mental suicide by killing my good self and becoming someone i swore to destroy like how anakin became darth vader.
All those who don't know God correctly and follow their Laws in the Bible will be condemned in Hell. Hoping you can have faith and repent before it's too late.

When I vacationed in cuba, I hurt my hand pretty bad and I was in a bad mood. This begger came up to me, an older woman. She seemed homeless and put her hands out for money. I shoo'd her away or just sighed or something. I can't remember, I was in pain and didn't want to deal with her. She wasn't the usual con artist trying to draw a picture of you while you walk and try to force you to give you money. She was just begging. I thought about what I had just done and prayed to god, "Lord if you want me to help that woman, put her in my path once more." Sure enough after a couple blocks down I see her sitting against a wall looking sad. It tore my heart apart as it seemed she gave up after me. I gave her all the cash I had in my pocket and watched her face shine like I had never seen before. I had to give thanks to god for convicting me of my actions and the gift he gave me once I did the right thing.

As a social worker in the U.S.A I find myself coming back to this video again and again to remind myself that God is so much more than those who try and represent them. The scene at the end where the figure takes and deep breath and get to work, and the very end of the seemingly endless task of pulling people out of injustice bring me to tear every time. It represents my feelings so well.
@Root 66 lol i can get you a bandaid but also this video is from 2 years ago and wasn't a response to George Floyd's death or the BLM movement. Also, if you think the main purpose of the movement happening around us all right now is to "punish whites" and "reward blacks", you should 1) study history more, 2) recognize that that emotion comes from a (probably unconscious) superiority you need to feel over people of color and 3) rewatch this video because it addresses that.
@NICK COIN I think you're trolling a video with a positive message of being salt and light to a dying world, by quoting Old testament scripture out of context. Are you trolling? Who do YOU say that Jesus is?
@NICK COIN yeah...I thought so. God defines ethics, gives guidance to all, specific commands for specific times and places, and sets each person's day of birth and death according to His infinite wisdom. "Test not the LORD."
I’m an agnostic/atheist (and perfectly content to stay that way so please don’t try to convert me), but I gotta say I love these videos. I grew up Christian but I was turned off by all the hypocrisy and shallow thinking of Christians around me. But you guys really do the Bible justice, and have helped me to reconnect with my roots. Definitely the best way to learn about the Bible, outside of reading it yourself (which I’m also slowly working through).
The Man The Legend I’d like to ask you a simple question. Isn’t your interest in the Christian faith God’s way of winning you over? I️ mean yeah all Christians are hypocrites because all of us are human. That is why we praise Jesus so much, because he died for our hypocrisy.
Hi! Sorry, by my "hypocrites" comment on the first post, I didn't mean to imply that all Christians are like that, just that a few were in my early life. Or, as you said, we're all hypocrites, but Christians are no more so than anyone else. As to God attempting to win me over, I'll recognize it as a possibility. I think it's possible that some God-like being exists, and I certainly think that there's value to be found in religion. But my interest in the Bible is a part of my wider interest in philosophy, literature, and religion. These fields of knowledge used to be considered the most important of all, but in the past few hundred years have been more or less supplanted by science. And while I think that science is an incredibly powerful asset for improving our material well-being, it does little to help our 'spirit', for lack of a better word. I'm interested in the health of the human spirit, and one of the most influential books of all time when it comes to spirituality is the Bible. That said, the Bible isn't the only major Holy Text. So far, at least, I'm trying to read as broadly and open-mindedly as I can. I don't see myself choosing one religion. So far, at least, I think that the wisest idea is to study all realms of human knowledge, and piece the truth together using the best ideas from all of them. Perhaps, ultimately, this path leads to God. I don't know. But whatever that God truly is, I believe it will be far different from anything humans have ever conceived of.
The Man The Legend Thank you for being open minded amd kind about your feelings toward christianity even if you dont believe in it :) I hope you continue to have interest in God's word. It is interesting, aside from being a believer. But I encourage you to continue to keep your mind open like you said :) cause I promise Jesus was a real man (duh) and is indeed God.. And loves you dearly... enough to die and bleed to death on a cross for your sins.... No average man would preach a fake gospel and let himself die for it. Even if you dont believe what I'm telling you, I hope it encourages you and helps keep your mind open. Have a great day :)
I have watched this so many times and it still gets me every time 😭 especially the last illustration!!! This is a whole new level of ‘loving one another’ that I’m still learning to unfold. Having the courage to speak up for those who have no voice & treating others as the image of God. Wow. Thank you Bible project for the awesome videos ♥️
@CXVII 117 R you're not alone in your thinking, it's a constant struggle even in the bible. Prophet Jeremiah complained why the "wicked prosper" (jer 12:1). In psalms 94:3 "Lord, how long will the wicked triumph?". I don't know either but what's amazing is a believer's faith in God that enables people in unfortunate circumstances to be happy.
CXVII 117 R I am so sorry to hear that, but actually being a Christian is actually the most difficult thing to do in this life. If u look at especially the New Testament, all the apostles suffered and even being murdered brutally, that doesn’t mean that God doesn’t like them, it’s just a reflection that because God’s Kingdom is the opposite of human’s one’s so that’s why we all suffer because we are in this world but not of.
You guys are creating some of the most influential content I’ve ever experienced in my life. I came across the bible projects podcasts a few months ago, and it has been a point for me to strengthen my faith in one of the hardest moments of my life. I came across an extremely personal and traumatizing act of injustice. One that affected me so deeply that my faith was tested to a point where I even yelled at the sky in tears and asked god if he was even real. I had never thought I was capable of such an acquisition, but sometimes its hard for us to see why things happen. I can without a doubt say that without the content that has been created here I would not be the person I am today, and i would not be going so far out of my way to try and uphold justice against the forces of evil I’ve personally experienced in this world. Thank you guys for spreading god’s word and for wanting me to be virtuous.
God is the panicle of perfection ... To blame God is irrational ... God by definition posses all perfect & supreme qualities of knowledge, justice, power, love & mercy.
@@hayyanmintgreen8561 Yes, God is perfection.... And why is it important to you to make a theological statement first, instead of asking more questions? Do theological statements reach the persons' heart or miss the the person's heart and struggle in his/her heart...Why does God allow Elijah to talk about wanting to die, feeding him food and water before God makes statements of truth to Elijah and moves him back into ministry? Why doesn't God start with statements of truth and just give him a reality check? Why does God allow Job to argue with Him (Job 3-37) and have it recorded in scripture, along with Job's repentance in chapter 42, repentance that comes after all these chapters where Job is sharing his heart? Why does God record these chapters in HIS Word, along with many of the Psalmists sharing their disappointment, doubt and frustration with God? Why does God record Jeremiah saying: "God, You deceived m?." Maybe we should ask more questions and invite the person to do like many in the Bible did...take their questions, frustrations, doubts and even accusations against God to God. Making statements, can often shut off communication, even when the statements are true and God seems to have many conversations in the Bible with some of His best friends that allow them to share their hearts. It's so, so, so easy to make statements...It is much harder to listen and ask questions. Jesus walked with His disciples on the road to Emmaus, knowing His own story, yet He asks His disciples why they are so sad. It was not because He did not know the story. It was because He was inviting them to share their story and their hearts with Him. God asked Adam and Eve questions. God asked Haagar where she had come from and where she was going....Jesus often asked questions. So I wonder if we are wanting to build bridges of relationships, relationships that are often messy and long term, just like Jesus walked with His disciples for 3.5 years plus another 40 days after His resurrection (on and off for 40 days) and told them they still were not ready to be His witnesses, so they prayed together another 10 days. With prayers that we will ask more questions that will lead to the person wanting to know more, that will allow theological statements to reach the person's mind and heart (ie. the New Covenant). I find that many Christians are quick to make statements and focus on being right or what is right, missing the importance of being in a right relationship with God and with the person...that includes entering into the messiness and brokenness of the person's story - like Jesus did. This kind of grace is costly grace because it means we have to take time to get to know the person, enter into the person's story and struggles and doubts, and this takes time to earn their trust. It is also reflecting what Jesus did, so He could "heal the broken hearted and set the captives free," (Luke 4:18). With prayers that we will receive God's grace and truth in a way that we enter into other's stories with curiosity and compassion that eventually allows us to share truth in a way that it reaches the head and the heart (Heb. 8:10; 10:16)
The king David and solomon gained power and they never opressed others. If the power is given by God and you belong to him you wont opress. You can justify evil
When Y’all said that part of righteousness was to make someone else’s problem your own that was a kind of woah moment for me because that is something you NEVER hear; what we hear: “That’s your problem not mine” “Deal with it” and dozens of other phrases like it is very surprising that own bible doesn’t says to toughen up deal with your own problems and don’t let anyone make you vulnerable or let people help themselves it’s their problem(s) not yours, but instead to have MANY counselors to help you throughout your life and to love our neighbors as yourselves and to put fiber of your being to giving to those in need I remember when I read Acts 2:43-47 the believers form a community and reading that they gave so much to each other that no one needed anything because they gave everything was truly something that baffled me when I first read it and amazed me at the same time of the kinds of changes God will put into the hearts of his people
I'm a first year law student, justice is one of the core definitions of law, and I was sadenned to see that some proffessors pointed out it was a feeling or that is was completely subjective (though yes it happens) but looking to the concept from the bible perspective is the most beautiful and truthful definition of justice! Glad this was adressed by such a good video, may God bless everyone.
This video is needed drastically in today's racially charged climate in the U.S. We can protest, bring awareness, and tear down statues of racist all day long...but nothing will change until we protest wickedness, raise awareness about how we are all God's image bearers, and tear down the hate built in the hearts of man. Lord help us all over the world to desire and show forth your righteousness and justice! THESE VIDEOS ROCK AS USUAL!!
Leave the statues up as a reminder of the past to avoid repeating it. Also about the oppress becoming the oppressors is true. Blacks were oppressed in the past by whites not blacks are oppressing whites in modern times.
Does that include protesting and bringing awareness against the Democrats, who so feverishly support the abortion industry, against the sin of homosexuality and the same-sex marriages that Obama and the Democrats brought to our nation or just against statues? Just wondering ... because standing for the Sanctity of life and standing for the lives of the unborn is also part of justice!!!
Gruiogruev the Sanctity of life and standing for the lives of the unborn is a part of justice! Using people fairly is just, but those same people treating people unfairly is when they become unjust.That is the difference between God's justice and social justice.
I can't tell you how much this means. Nothing has damaged my faith more than seeing the American church's response (or lack thereof) to injustice. But I see that this is just how humans are and it makes my heart hasten the day that the Lord comes in His Kingdom. Thanks.
I am so glad you all make these videos. 💚 This one in particular was absolutely beautiful and well created. “Justice” is such a difficult and misunderstood theme for Christians. I watched it via your “One Story That Leads to Jesus” plan on the Bible App and had to come onto TH-cam just so I can make sure to save certain vids like this one that I need to watch again and again, and share. Thanks for your work, for your team, and your Bible plan. 💪🙏
@NICK COIN I think you’re taking Leviticus 21:9 slightly out fo context. In the time it what’s written the Israelites were travelling through the wilderness and and God saw it fit to just kill one prostitute than have all of the nation of Israel corrupted because of this sin. Other girls might have thought that if the priest daughter can do it, it must be ok. It might have lured men away from God and there wife’s which would break up families. So basically what I am trying to say is that God saw that if they hadn’t killed them it would have been the downfall and His people of which Jesus was to be born into. God can see what is going to happen so when he says things like this it’s because it’s best for us.
Wow...these guys are better than all preachers these days...Thank uuu So so Much you guys are really make us more easy to understand the BIBLE... Big Hug and Love from Indonesia ...
Idk if you will see this. But if your burnt out on pastors like i was and still am 😂 lol look up Pastor steven furtick from elevation church. He is the real deal no bullshit or fake religion. Real relationship with jesus. The guy has good stuff 👍
Think for yourself don't be sheep.. they say that you are righteous by making other people's problems your own... that is not righteous at all... your are righteous by teaching people how to handle problems and how to avoid them... life is hard for everyone it is unjust to put that kind of pressure in someone else... specially when is irresponsible people the ones that get in more troubles... they have to deal with the consequences of their own actions... nowadays nobody is oppressing nobody no Even the most powerful person of earth the President is impervious he is being impeached and attacked since he got to office... so nobody is privilege or sabotaging people's success only this whiny attitude...
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:10 There couldn't have been a better explanation of Justice than the visual interpretation of this verse. GOD BLESS the Bible Project.
I am a follower of Buddha and I find your project great. It feels like you have presented the topics of Bible pretty honestly. Thanks to you that I now know the story of Bible.
I cannot explain what I felt when I watched it today....It made me see who I am and I'm very thoughtful now. The Beauty of what Jesus's done and of who He is are too much for me. It is certainly larger than everything I've known...Thank you.
I love these videos they give me such a more in-depth version of the bible and makes it more understanding to me. I've only recently let Jesus into my life and these videos have definitely helped ALOT.
It is amazing how many people are finally learning from these lessons, I hope this goes around the world just to let people know how God loves His children dearly. And this is a great way to explain His Word!
Yeah, not ashamed to say I was almost in tears watching this. I've recommended The Bible Project to a bunch of people and will continue to do so! Great work, everyone involved. Absolutely stunning and an amazing message.
I am unbelievably proud of y'all for having such passion and desire to clarify. It's not my place to give an impressive complement, but there is a rare and God given talent of leadership and artistic ability harbouring the understanding in the minds of viewers. I feel led by God to give honour where honor is due. And my goodness is it due! Props by the way for such a gorgeous 3D animation that would have most animators dropping a jaw.
something that has been stuck with me since i started following Christ was these words “it’s not the people that hurt you it’s the spirit behind them” and that shook me and gave me an even better reason why i should love my enemies as i love myself ❤️
The animation in this video is exceptional and it legit warms my heart, you guys are so incredibly gifted by God and I am so grateful you are using your gifts to glorify the Lord
ALL of this and everything, before and after, is the grand plan of GOD. So yes WE ALL are gifted in our own ways, so therefore Matthew is correct. Same can be said about being saved in a burning house. IT IS ALL PROOF. I hope you understand, buddy.
Beautiful, functional visuals. So great in many ways on a technical level, but best of all they really help to clarify the theme. Also, nice honey badger reference.
Justice is what every one need to live a healthy life, however the spirit of self centeredness tends to take that away. This is a very insightful videos.
Bestest videos to understand the bible that I have ever seen. You guys are awesome. When I was going through depression I went far from my lord but I used watch all your videos again again to be in Lords shadow. And by God's grace I went out from that phase. Amen. Thank you
These videos make me feel amazing. I was scared a little bit ago and now I feel *A LOT* better and spiritually ready to start my day thanks for serving God in a way that connects with everyone
This kills my anger towards injustice today and allows me to listen to innocent people wanting their voice to be heard. This here is a great message. Thanks you guys.
This is one of your best videos I've seen. Very powerful reminder that our actions as we walk in this world can either lift others up or put them down. Being the image of God in our interactions with people is one of the best ways to show Christ to others. Love what you guys do. Thank you.
I've been a big fan of Restorative Justice for a long while, speaking publically about my role as a former offender who killed someone in 1977. Thank you for this video. Peace~
As a current law student and aspiring attorney, I love this video. It reminds me of why I’m doing what I’m doing and why dealing with law school finals will be worth it when I can make a difference one day as an attorney pursuing biblical justice❤
I really enjoyed this video. I find, when listening to others discuss the concept of Biblical justice/injustice, that often it’s just white men lecturing the rest of us about how we should respond to injustice. More often, the focus is on how the oppressed should not sin in our anger, but rarely does anyone preach about why so many of us are so angry. This is, I kid you not, the first time I’ve ever heard white men acknowledge what the Bible says about advocating for the oppressed. Y’all really get it.
@tryme You’re right, I don’t *need* a white man to acknowledge anything. Never said I did. Simply remarked on an observation I made. Of course they’ve never oppressed me, again, never said they did. Didn’t mention anything about Black people so I’m not sure why you saw fit to say Black people “do” oppress, as if I said Black people do or don’t. Seems you’re looking for patterns in clouds, my friend. All the best with that. 👋🏿
Deeply profound! Describes the Biblical concept of God's Justice w clarity, simplicity, historically, and for us today. So good, 👏 Let's turn our hearts to do God's will. God bless 🙏😊
I love that watching this unnerves people. Speaks tomes about a person that finds this video unnerving. Also teaches me as Jesus states the other cheek.
I was read something yesterday and the author used the word nephesh. I literally squealed in delight because I know what it means because of your guys’ videos. 😊
Thank you so much for this. The only hope we have is Christ Jesus and we know that as we look up to Him, He continually transforms us. To be just and righteous as He is. The fact that most times, the oppressed become the oppressors shows that the heart of man is desperately wicked. Only through the blood of Christ can our hearts be transformed
The animation here is touching and displays Jesus' teachings and love well. Well done, BibleProject! That's exactly how we should use our God-given talents ❤Keep up the good work! 😇
Very nice...the images of the white floating ribbon is exactly what I feel operating in my life. Compelling me to say something publicly, go somewhere I would rather stay away from, or making time for a friend when I’d rather be doing something else...it’s that image of the white ribbon that I will remember now. Thanks for that!!!
I don't know if I've said it enough, but never bored watching and rewatching your videos. Beside of the message you delivered, the illustration is just over the top. My Ears and eyes always working together in perfect harmony every time I watched your video. Always surprised when each video coming because it always different and even though have same style, it never bored me. I can't do much right now, but I hope this project will continue as long as it could be! Thanks and God Bless!
I've watched this video so many times i basically have the script memorized and every time it still has a strong impact...i love what you guys are doing
I just love your Bible Project theme. It makes studying the Scripture so much alive and lighter to understand. So thank you for the concept and keep on the good work. May God bless you all "Bible Project Team". A grand and awesome work!
I was deeply touched by the message of this video! Made me cry upon realising how evil humans can be yet God still chose to love, save and redeem us through Jesus Christ- the greatest expression of our Father's eternal love!❤❤❤

As to God attempting to win me over, I'll recognize it as a possibility. I think it's possible that some God-like being exists, and I certainly think that there's value to be found in religion. But my interest in the Bible is a part of my wider interest in philosophy, literature, and religion. These fields of knowledge used to be considered the most important of all, but in the past few hundred years have been more or less supplanted by science. And while I think that science is an incredibly powerful asset for improving our material well-being, it does little to help our 'spirit', for lack of a better word. I'm interested in the health of the human spirit, and one of the most influential books of all time when it comes to spirituality is the Bible. That said, the Bible isn't the only major Holy Text. So far, at least, I'm trying to read as broadly and open-mindedly as I can. I don't see myself choosing one religion. So far, at least, I think that the wisest idea is to study all realms of human knowledge, and piece the truth together using the best ideas from all of them.
Perhaps, ultimately, this path leads to God. I don't know. But whatever that God truly is, I believe it will be far different from anything humans have ever conceived of.
The Man The Legend Thank you for being open minded amd kind about your feelings toward christianity even if you dont believe in it :)
I hope you continue to have interest in God's word. It is interesting, aside from being a believer. But I encourage you to continue to keep your mind open like you said :) cause I promise Jesus was a real man (duh) and is indeed God.. And loves you dearly... enough to die and bleed to death on a cross for your sins....
No average man would preach a fake gospel and let himself die for it.
Even if you dont believe what I'm telling you, I hope it encourages you and helps keep your mind open. Have a great day :)
Thanks! I appreciate your wholesomeness and goodwill. Take care dude!
I am in law school, so i love to watch videos about justice in a christian way. Thank you so much, bible project. God bless you all ❤
I'm a law student too. It's nice seeing it in this light
@@kofoworolae yeah! for sure! 🙏
Capital b for Bible ❤
It brings me to tears as a practicing lawyer as well.
I have watched this so many times and it still gets me every time 😭 especially the last illustration!!! This is a whole new level of ‘loving one another’ that I’m still learning to unfold. Having the courage to speak up for those who have no voice & treating others as the image of God. Wow. Thank you Bible project for the awesome videos ♥️
AMen!
This world needs more street pastors who understands like yourself
God is _beautiful._
+Forsakened By God? You have not been forsaken. Remember Matthew 5:3-12. Justice will come.
@CXVII 117 R you're not alone in your thinking, it's a constant struggle even in the bible. Prophet Jeremiah complained why the "wicked prosper" (jer 12:1). In psalms 94:3 "Lord, how long will the wicked triumph?". I don't know either but what's amazing is a believer's faith in God that enables people in unfortunate circumstances to be happy.
Haha you said I had a good life! Yeah right.
CXVII 117 R I am so sorry to hear that, but actually being a Christian is actually the most difficult thing to do in this life. If u look at especially the New Testament, all the apostles suffered and even being murdered brutally, that doesn’t mean that God doesn’t like them, it’s just a reflection that because God’s Kingdom is the opposite of human’s one’s so that’s why we all suffer because we are in this world but not of.

You guys are creating some of the most influential content I’ve ever experienced in my life. I came across the bible projects podcasts a few months ago, and it has been a point for me to strengthen my faith in one of the hardest moments of my life. I came across an extremely personal and traumatizing act of injustice. One that affected me so deeply that my faith was tested to a point where I even yelled at the sky in tears and asked god if he was even real. I had never thought I was capable of such an acquisition, but sometimes its hard for us to see why things happen. I can without a doubt say that without the content that has been created here I would not be the person I am today, and i would not be going so far out of my way to try and uphold justice against the forces of evil I’ve personally experienced in this world. Thank you guys for spreading god’s word and for wanting me to be virtuous.
God has such compassion for you; your pain is His. Praise Him, that He sent you this way and provided what you desperately needed
God is always there for us.
that's a way how you can find who God is for yourself....
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
@Root 66 You really don't understand what's going on here, do you?
"When the oppressed gain power, they often become oppressors themselves." It happens way too often. Sad but true.
God is the panicle of perfection ...
To blame God is irrational ...
God by definition posses all perfect & supreme qualities of knowledge, justice, power, love & mercy.
@@hayyanmintgreen8561 Yes, God is perfection.... And why is it important to you to make a theological statement first, instead of asking more questions? Do theological statements reach the persons' heart or miss the the person's heart and struggle in his/her heart...Why does God allow Elijah to talk about wanting to die, feeding him food and water before God makes statements of truth to Elijah and moves him back into ministry? Why doesn't God start with statements of truth and just give him a reality check? Why does God allow Job to argue with Him (Job 3-37) and have it recorded in scripture, along with Job's repentance in chapter 42, repentance that comes after all these chapters where Job is sharing his heart? Why does God record these chapters in HIS Word, along with many of the Psalmists sharing their disappointment, doubt and frustration with God? Why does God record Jeremiah saying: "God, You deceived m?." Maybe we should ask more questions and invite the person to do like many in the Bible did...take their questions, frustrations, doubts and even accusations against God to God. Making statements, can often shut off communication, even when the statements are true and God seems to have many conversations in the Bible with some of His best friends that allow them to share their hearts. It's so, so, so easy to make statements...It is much harder to listen and ask questions. Jesus walked with His disciples on the road to Emmaus, knowing His own story, yet He asks His disciples why they are so sad. It was not because He did not know the story. It was because He was inviting them to share their story and their hearts with Him. God asked Adam and Eve questions. God asked Haagar where she had come from and where she was going....Jesus often asked questions. So I wonder if we are wanting to build bridges of relationships, relationships that are often messy and long term, just like Jesus walked with His disciples for 3.5 years plus another 40 days after His resurrection (on and off for 40 days) and told them they still were not ready to be His witnesses, so they prayed together another 10 days. With prayers that we will ask more questions that will lead to the person wanting to know more, that will allow theological statements to reach the person's mind and heart (ie. the New Covenant). I find that many Christians are quick to make statements and focus on being right or what is right, missing the importance of being in a right relationship with God and with the person...that includes entering into the messiness and brokenness of the person's story - like Jesus did. This kind of grace is costly grace because it means we have to take time to get to know the person, enter into the person's story and struggles and doubts, and this takes time to earn their trust. It is also reflecting what Jesus did, so He could "heal the broken hearted and set the captives free," (Luke 4:18). With prayers that we will receive God's grace and truth in a way that we enter into other's stories with curiosity and compassion that eventually allows us to share truth in a way that it reaches the head and the heart (Heb. 8:10; 10:16)
@CXVII 117 R Love never fails and since God is love, so then He never fails.
The king David and solomon gained power and they never opressed others. If the power is given by God and you belong to him you wont opress. You can justify evil
Can't
When Y’all said that part of righteousness was to make someone else’s problem your own that was a kind of woah moment for me because that is something you NEVER hear; what we hear: “That’s your problem not mine”
“Deal with it”
and dozens of other phrases like it is very surprising that own bible doesn’t says to toughen up deal with your own problems and don’t let anyone make you vulnerable or let people help themselves it’s their problem(s) not yours, but instead to have MANY counselors to help you throughout your life and to love our neighbors as yourselves and to put fiber of your being to giving to those in need
I remember when I read Acts 2:43-47 the believers form a community and reading that they gave so much to each other that no one needed anything because they gave everything was truly something that baffled me when I first read it and amazed me at the same time of the kinds of changes God will put into the hearts of his people
Joy Ramirez this sheds new light on how to have righteousness that surpassed the Pharisees.
I'm a first year law student, justice is one of the core definitions of law, and I was sadenned to see that some proffessors pointed out it was a feeling or that is was completely subjective (though yes it happens) but looking to the concept from the bible perspective is the most beautiful and truthful definition of justice! Glad this was adressed by such a good video, may God bless everyone.
This video is needed drastically in today's racially charged climate in the U.S. We can protest, bring awareness, and tear down statues of racist all day long...but nothing will change until we protest wickedness, raise awareness about how we are all God's image bearers, and tear down the hate built in the hearts of man. Lord help us all over the world to desire and show forth your righteousness and justice! THESE VIDEOS ROCK AS USUAL!!
Leave the statues up as a reminder of the past to avoid repeating it. Also about the oppress becoming the oppressors is true. Blacks were oppressed in the past by whites not blacks are oppressing whites in modern times.
Does that include protesting and bringing awareness against the Democrats, who so feverishly support the abortion industry, against the sin of homosexuality and the same-sex marriages that Obama and the Democrats brought to our nation or just against statues? Just wondering ... because standing for the Sanctity of life and standing for the lives of the unborn is also part of justice!!!
Imperial Crusader I don't think you know what the word "oppression" means but okay I guess. Discrimination ≠ oppression
Gruiogruev
the Sanctity of life and standing for the lives of the unborn is a part of justice! Using people fairly is just, but those same people treating people unfairly is when they become unjust.That is the difference between God's justice and social justice.
Could you please point out how Blacks have any power to oppressors Whites?
"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne." Psalm 89:14
I just read that, thank you
Amen.
Thank you!
TH-cam recommended this, the thing is we are facing this in Nigeria right now. Thanks for creating this video
Is it the EndSars problem
Micah 6:8 always makes me tear up. It’s so simple and yet SO beautiful and powerful at the same time! My favorite verse by far!
I've been feeling the same way!!! Please continue to seek God as you walk with his love
The Bible Project is my guidelines to live life better. Thank you
You guys are doing a great job not only for yourselves and the viewers but especially for our LORD! Love, from India.
Lkd Samte exactly. Great stuff💯
I can't tell you how much this means. Nothing has damaged my faith more than seeing the American church's response (or lack thereof) to injustice. But I see that this is just how humans are and it makes my heart hasten the day that the Lord comes in His Kingdom. Thanks.
I am so glad you all make these videos. 💚 This one in particular was absolutely beautiful and well created. “Justice” is such a difficult and misunderstood theme for Christians. I watched it via your “One Story That Leads to Jesus” plan on the Bible App and had to come onto TH-cam just so I can make sure to save certain vids like this one that I need to watch again and again, and share. Thanks for your work, for your team, and your Bible plan. 💪🙏
This video made me cry. Thank you and may God bless you. An avid fan here from the Philippines. 😁
Mervin Osma made me cry too
@NICK COIN
Are u ok?
@NICK COIN I think you’re taking Leviticus 21:9 slightly out fo context. In the time it what’s written the Israelites were travelling through the wilderness and and God saw it fit to just kill one prostitute than have all of the nation of Israel corrupted because of this sin. Other girls might have thought that if the priest daughter can do it, it must be ok. It might have lured men away from God and there wife’s which would break up families. So basically what I am trying to say is that God saw that if they hadn’t killed them it would have been the downfall and His people of which Jesus was to be born into. God can see what is going to happen so when he says things like this it’s because it’s best for us.
God loves you! I think you need it right now. It just hit me.❤️❤️❤️
*GOD* IS _GOOD_

I love Jesus really gloried in your messages, you show Jesus In every narrative. 🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾. Jesus is everything
Wow...these guys are better than all preachers these days...Thank uuu So so Much you guys are really make us more easy to understand the BIBLE... Big Hug and Love from Indonesia ...
Idk if you will see this. But if your burnt out on pastors like i was and still am 😂 lol look up Pastor steven furtick from elevation church. He is the real deal no bullshit or fake religion. Real relationship with jesus. The guy has good stuff 👍
Think for yourself don't be sheep.. they say that you are righteous by making other people's problems your own... that is not righteous at all... your are righteous by teaching people how to handle problems and how to avoid them... life is hard for everyone it is unjust to put that kind of pressure in someone else... specially when is irresponsible people the ones that get in more troubles... they have to deal with the consequences of their own actions... nowadays nobody is oppressing nobody no Even the most powerful person of earth the President is impervious he is being impeached and attacked since he got to office... so nobody is privilege or sabotaging people's success only this whiny attitude...
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:10
There couldn't have been a better explanation of Justice than the visual interpretation of this verse. GOD BLESS the Bible Project.
I am a follower of Buddha and I find your project great. It feels like you have presented the topics of Bible pretty honestly. Thanks to you that I now know the story of Bible.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life ❤️✝️
God is so amazing He loves us and protects and forgives us even though we don’t deserve it 🙏
I cannot explain what I felt when I watched it today....It made me see who I am and I'm very thoughtful now. The Beauty of what Jesus's done and of who He is are too much for me. It is certainly larger than everything I've known...Thank you.
I love these videos they give me such a more in-depth version of the bible and makes it more understanding to me. I've only recently let Jesus into my life and these videos have definitely helped ALOT.
I love the creativity and effort put in these videos every single time 😊🙌
Tessy C. These guys are simply; blessed and anointed..
crimson knight I know right? It's so refreshing seeing something new each time 😊
This video has me crying.. you guys are doing amazing things for the Lord
Caleb Joiner I did too, I was praying to the Lord afterwards to be an agent of His justice in this world. 😊
me too!
It is amazing how many people are finally learning from these lessons, I hope this goes around the world just to let people know how God loves His children dearly. And this is a great way to explain His Word!
Yeah, not ashamed to say I was almost in tears watching this. I've recommended The Bible Project to a bunch of people and will continue to do so! Great work, everyone involved. Absolutely stunning and an amazing message.
I am unbelievably proud of y'all for having such passion and desire to clarify. It's not my place to give an impressive complement, but there is a rare and God given talent of leadership and artistic ability harbouring the understanding in the minds of viewers. I feel led by God to give honour where honor is due. And my goodness is it due! Props by the way for such a gorgeous 3D animation that would have most animators dropping a jaw.
Bible project, the best Chanel on TH-cam.
something that has been stuck with me since i started following Christ was these words “it’s not the people that hurt you it’s the spirit behind them” and that shook me and gave me an even better reason why i should love my enemies as i love myself ❤️
The animation in this video is exceptional and it legit warms my heart, you guys are so incredibly gifted by God and I am so grateful you are using your gifts to glorify the Lord
I Know, Right??
VegetableSalad who hurt you?
ALL of this and everything, before and after, is the grand plan of GOD. So yes WE ALL are gifted in our own ways, so therefore Matthew is correct. Same can be said about being saved in a burning house. IT IS ALL PROOF. I hope you understand, buddy.
You are answering your own question my man lol you are right on the dot as so am i.

EVERYTHING IS MY PROOF
phenomenal work!!!! - explaining social injustice. I have never seen a better verbal or visual explanation. TYSM for your amazing gift to us all.

Beautiful, functional visuals. So great in many ways on a technical level, but best of all they really help to clarify the theme.
Also, nice honey badger reference.
What's the honey badger reference?
I know! The honey badger reference had me giggling! 😁
Justice is what every one need to live a healthy life, however the spirit of self centeredness tends to take that away. This is a very insightful videos.
Bestest videos to understand the bible that I have ever seen. You guys are awesome. When I was going through depression I went far from my lord but I used watch all your videos again again to be in Lords shadow. And by God's grace I went out from that phase. Amen. Thank you
These videos make me feel amazing. I was scared a little bit ago and now I feel *A LOT* better and spiritually ready to start my day thanks for serving God in a way that connects with everyone
1:55 - "It's about treating others as the image of God"
Man you just dropped that like it was nothing, how powerful is that statement
God bless you guys!
LOVED THE NEW ART STYLE!
Michael Bergman it's someone elses.
Thankyou God! Thankyou Jesus♥️ for everything🙌😢
I give thanks to the MOST HIGH for blessing me with understanding knowledge.
This kills my anger towards injustice today and allows me to listen to innocent people wanting their voice to be heard. This here is a great message. Thanks you guys.
This is one of your best videos I've seen. Very powerful reminder that our actions as we walk in this world can either lift others up or put them down. Being the image of God in our interactions with people is one of the best ways to show Christ to others. Love what you guys do. Thank you.
I've been a big fan of Restorative Justice for a long while, speaking publically about my role as a former offender who killed someone in 1977. Thank you for this video. Peace~
AND YET GOD KNEW U BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. UR PROBLEMS WERE PUT THERE BY SATAN, BUT YOU FOUGHT THRU AND UR REWARD IS WAITING FOR YOU IN HEAVEN.
I pray to God to help me and others to be in righteousness and bring Godly justice. Amen. God bless your channel.😊
As a current law student and aspiring attorney, I love this video. It reminds me of why I’m doing what I’m doing and why dealing with law school finals will be worth it when I can make a difference one day as an attorney pursuing biblical justice❤
LOL
I really enjoyed this video. I find, when listening to others discuss the concept of Biblical justice/injustice, that often it’s just white men lecturing the rest of us about how we should respond to injustice. More often, the focus is on how the oppressed should not sin in our anger, but rarely does anyone preach about why so many of us are so angry. This is, I kid you not, the first time I’ve ever heard white men acknowledge what the Bible says about advocating for the oppressed. Y’all really get it.
@tryme You’re right, I don’t *need* a white man to acknowledge anything. Never said I did. Simply remarked on an observation I made. Of course they’ve never oppressed me, again, never said they did. Didn’t mention anything about Black people so I’m not sure why you saw fit to say Black people “do” oppress, as if I said Black people do or don’t. Seems you’re looking for patterns in clouds, my friend. All the best with that. 👋🏿
@tryme9390 i relate to what you are saying.
This would make for an excellent study with my kiddos on Sabbath, thank you guys ever so much. This topic is near and dear to my heart.
What a beautiful video.... not as the world calls beautiful, but God.... it touches the heart. It's humbling.
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this one made me cry! I keep up with these and you guys just regularly amaze me. Thank you for pursuing your calling as vessels
Deeply profound! Describes the Biblical concept of God's Justice w clarity, simplicity, historically, and for us today.
So good, 👏
Let's turn our hearts to do God's will.
God bless 🙏😊
I love that watching this unnerves people. Speaks tomes about a person that finds this video unnerving. Also teaches me as Jesus states the other cheek.
You guys should make an animated movie. I would totally buy it.
Me too!
Tanya Walker well there’s 2 sold right there! That’s about $20 between the both of us, they are off to a great start!

I get really excited whenever TH-cam notifies me of a new Bible Project video 😀 great job guys!
Same!
same!!!! i watch them immediately!
Thanks Bible project team✌️
Beautiful! May the Lord fill our hearts with love for Him and each other.
Ayo, deep appreciation for the depiction of the set apart spirit. The white ribbon, great visual aid.
This has completely changed how I view loving others.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. The only hope we have is Christ Jesus and we know that as we look up to Him, He continually transforms us. To be just and righteous as He is. The fact that most times, the oppressed become the oppressors shows that the heart of man is desperately wicked. Only through the blood of Christ can our hearts be transformed
Amen
The imagery here is mindblowing. Impeccable work guys!
This is one of the best illustrations of aNY type of concept I've ever seen. May Good continue to bless the work of your hands @BibleProject
The animation here is touching and displays Jesus' teachings and love well. Well done, BibleProject! That's exactly how we should use our God-given talents ❤Keep up the good work! 😇
Two years and counting viewing y'all videos...but have to say...this one became my favorite!
I come to this video over and over again. Best explanation of biblical themes
The animation in this is so simplistic yet the emotion and intent conveyed is just perfection! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for what you are doing. I’m a visual artist and fresh in my walk with Christ and this helps me a lot ✨✝️ inspired me and empowered me
Thank you, Bible Project team, for the excellent, inspiring and creative work! May God continue to bless your ministry.

I admire the brilliance and crazy creativity of this team🙏Thank you God
This is so awesome. Every Christian needs to have this video on repeat...We need this now more than ever
Oh man, that's awesome guys! It's my favorite video now,
God bless you!
Intentionally making others problems yours...thank you brothers
Very nice...the images of the white floating ribbon is exactly what I feel operating in my life. Compelling me to say something publicly, go somewhere I would rather stay away from, or making time for a friend when I’d rather be doing something else...it’s that image of the white ribbon that I will remember now. Thanks for that!!!
Rod Porterfield I agree
I don't know if I've said it enough, but never bored watching and rewatching your videos. Beside of the message you delivered, the illustration is just over the top. My Ears and eyes always working together in perfect harmony every time I watched your video. Always surprised when each video coming because it always different and even though have same style, it never bored me. I can't do much right now, but I hope this project will continue as long as it could be! Thanks and God Bless!
Your channel inspires me SO MUCH!! It brings me closer to God, thank you!
I've watched this video so many times i basically have the script memorized and every time it still has a strong impact...i love what you guys are doing
Same. My favorite of all their vids!!
IF YOU WERE A PRAYING MANTIS...
I just love your Bible Project theme. It makes studying the Scripture so much alive and lighter to understand. So thank you for the concept and keep on the good work. May God bless you all "Bible Project Team". A grand and awesome work!
I was deeply touched by the message of this video! Made me cry upon realising how evil humans can be yet God still chose to love, save and redeem us through Jesus Christ- the greatest expression of our Father's eternal love!❤❤❤
How amazing the world would be if we truly followed the bible
The way you represent it through the video is gorgeous ❤️
