God that’s so sad.
So, you must be 15 years old now. How has it been going for a year? Have you found God's Peace and Rest in the Holy Spirit? I lost my mom when I was 18 and I'm 3 years younger now than when she passed. So it's a tough road we live. It's important not to repeat the bad mistakes and trust the Lord. Press on.

@@lau279 Thank you Itll help!
I've recently lost both my parents-my mom passed away on September 22, 2023, and my dad on January 1, 2024. The indescribable pain I'm experiencing has me drowning in grief and struggling to survive each day.There's a lingering question in my mind that I always set aside, knowing it will never be answered: "Why is all of this happening to me? Do I deserve this suffering when I haven't even done bad things, unlike others who harm innocent people?" After watching this video, it brought me enlightenment. I appreciate you creating it. The video randomly appeared in my recommendations, and I believe God's timing is right.
sorry you had to go thru that. God bless you..
Oh my, my prayer for you is that God should reveal himself to you and encourage you to give you reason to keep moving knowing that His with you to hold you up …… am sending you all my love from 🇿🇲Zambia
May God bless you and comfort you greatly.
Try to be in prayer, congregating and seeking help from Christian people. What you are going through is very difficult, but God is with all of us until the end of the world.
I don't believe in coincidence. My grandma on my dad's side went to heaven on February 9, which was my birthday. later my dad told me that February 9 was their wedding anniversary. My aunt on my mom's side gave me a bible for Christmas a few years before that, and I used it to read to her and her husband (who is not saved). I ended up giving it to my dad to take to him in the hopes that he will read it and be saved.
I am sorry for you. That must be tough to live. Honestly, i can't even imagine. May God help you going through your suffering.
While I am not suffering now, this video (and your others) really help. For those who are suffering, I'm sorry. I pray that God comforts you along the way to the light at the end of the tunnel. Stay blessed.
You too, I love you man
Thank you
God bless you all, I love you
Amen man Amen🙏
I am starting to lose my faith in god because a couple mouths ago my friend from highschool killed himself I don't know what to do
Please pray for me, I just lost a loved one. I recently started praying again after dealing with depression. I know I need Jesus more than ever and I don't want to walk way from him again.
Grief is difficult to cope with. I pray that you are doing better.
The LORD understand all God understand your weeping may endure for a moment but God will bring Joy in the morning.....God may have called your love one home because they were done with their weeping thru the night and it was time for their joy in the morning...so stick with God and trust God knows all and God is the Best choice in All things
Sorry man may God be with you
@@Wolfgamer655 Thank you
I pray that God will give you strength to stand firm in the light and will give you power over the tugs and pulls of the devil. May God watch over you and your family. In Jesus' mighty Name, I pray, Amen.
As a Christian who recently asked God for the answer This Is Beautiful ❤️
"if there is a God why is He not doing anything about this?"
Its because all of our problems were caused by us. And God knows
we can solve it and overcome it ouselves
@@Blind_Ghostling Not Biblical, but okay.
amen
I'm glad that you found the answer❤
@@Blind_Ghostling A problem remains though... remember that some people are born with diseases and suffer their whole lives with it too. To find the answer we have to look back to the time when suffering began. When Satan led Adam and Eve into disobeying God, an important question was raised. Satan did not call into question God's power... rather, Satan questioned God's right to rule. By calling God a liar who withholds good from his subjects, Satan charged that God is a bad ruler (Genesis 3:2-5). Satan implied that mankind would be better off without God’s rulership. Some might ask why did God not just simply destroy the rebels (Adam, Eve and Satan) and make a fresh start. However, God had already previously stated his purpose to fill the earth with the offspring of Adam and Eve in an earthly paradise (Genesis 1:28), and he never goes back on His word (Isaiah 55:10,11). Additionally, getting rid of the rebels in Eden would not have answered the question that had been raised regarding His right to rule.
God has also allowed humans to govern themselves under Satan’s guidance. It may feel like such a long time tat he is allowing this to go on, but the way we perceive time is much different from the way God does. However, rest assured that God will bring an end to this wicked world sooner than later since we are already seeing the prophecies being fulfilled. We are now living in the last days... and soon God will send his son Jesus Christ to bring judgment on this world and save those who love his law and keep trying to live by it despite being imperfect.
When my Mother died of cancer. I didn't feel anything. I thought I should though. I felt guilty for not feeling something. But I noticed that I was calm. I was saved when I was 16 yrs old. So I had a good relationship with God. We talked alot. I had a area back home that was quiet and when things got out of control. I would go there. My mom was saved about the same time I was along with my sister. We felt the holy spirit consume us. I remember being in the car going back home, and how we were all so quiet. Wondering what just happened. I joined the service at 18. My mom and I were at odds with each other. About how to proceed with some things with religion. I left and got away from Jesus. Got caught up in the worldly things. I'm trying to find my way back, because I need it. The power of God in my heart. I miss it so bad. I know I still have salvation, because I never stopped believing in Jesus. And I believe that he was always there when I needed him. I think that I didn't feel anything because Mom lead a good life. By good life I mean that she had a routine everyday to study the Bible, and try to understand it. And I thought that she was in a better place now. So it didn't hurt me that she was gone. In my heart I talk to her like she's right here. Not sure she answers. Maybe I don't hear it. I don't believe God harms any body. I think it just like catching a cold. We are biological on this earth. I have had 4 heart attacks in my life. And everytime it happened I let God take control. I released myself like. I said "Its in your hands now." "What you decide lord is your command. " So he has given me life back and a chance to make good. So that is what I am going to try to do. So now I need to gain the lords trust again. So I want to thank you in your teachings. It is really helping me on this new journey.
I will be praying for you I feel like this video is something all of us can relate to because there isnt a person alive who has not experienced pain. some people more then others but pain none the less. if you ever want advice i can offer what I can I am in no way perfect but I can relate to struggles like everyone else. if there is one thing I want you to take away from this text though it is that God "never" leaves us even in our sin we leave him and no mater what no mater the pain no mater the sin no mater the hurt he will accept you with open arms and give you peace that surpasses all understanding. when I was in a place of hurt one time God spoke to me through Philippians 4:4-9 I now know those verses by heart and I recommend checking them out.
The Bible says "Don't try to communicate with the dead." It's hard but we have to let go, remembering we will see them in Heaven if they and we are saved. We always remember loved ones in our memories and thoughts. But we can't communicate with them until we join them in Heaven.
Wow I'm going through the same thing. I lost my mom to cancer last year and although I was sad that she was gone I didnt cry much. Even now I don't feel anything when I think of her death and it makes me feel so bad because we were so close so I want to be sad that she's gone, but I'm not. Everyone keeps saying all the emotions will hit me one day but I don't think that's gonna happen. I guess it's mostly because she had a good relationship with God and I'm happy that she's not suffering anymore. I fully believe that God revealed strength in me that I didn't know I had. I depended on her alot for everything, she was like an extension of myself but maybe I needed to learn how to be my own person and maybe this was the only way to learn how.
God already knows if He can trust us or not. Job is a good example. But we have to learn it ourselves when we prevail. "Think it not strange the fiery trial which is to test u as though some strange thing were happening to you." (Bible)
Hello I am glad I read your comment fully, today is actually my mom's 20th anniversary since she passed from cancer as well. I pray that God continues to bless you
"Its not bad to die. Its just something that happens." The way you said this will always stick with me.
Arg, it's making me emotional aha
Hi, hope your doing good. God bless you, and Jesus loves you
Nothing could be worse than dieing if a person is lost without Christ. But "In Christ to die is gain." (Bible)
Please put that quote in its context . This video sets up the situation : if there was no God , then this explanation of death would be true .
Understanding that sin is what caused everything bad to occur is honestly what helps me get over the big question.
I recently lost my dad. It still hurts like hell, but I'm still being the prayer soldier in my family.
Im 14 years old and I grew up in a Philippines my whole life because my mom sent me there and got a step family who treated me good and loved me so much, but I knew I had a real mom and she’s in the U.S 5 months ago she took me to the U.S too, I was really sad and lost because I was far away from my step family and my friends, and idk why my mom won’t send me back there, I’ve been here for 6 months and I miss them, and just last month I got closer to God hoping he’ll get me back in there, praying to him everyday and I understand why these things happens it’s because he’s trying to discipline me, and a way for me to get closer to him, now if I get back in the Philippines I’ll help my family and friends be more closer to God.
I'm actually crying. I already knew that god wanted us in heaven but I can currently FEEL it. Thank you god. and sorry for the wrong I have and will do on earth.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning
this same question I asked my fellow believer few days ago instead of asking God😢
Now God spoke to me through this video very perfectly❤ Thank you Lord Jesus Christ ❤
My Dad passed away when I was 18 and through this situation I found a real connection with Jesus and a true sense of gratitude, I went through a time of loneliness and depression but through prayer and God I have found a true appreciation for my new found friends and the time I spend with my family and the time I got to spend with my dad. Appreciate what you have while you still have it
God bless you.
I too lost my father when I was 18 (a year ago). God helped me and my family a lot :)
@drunkduck8073 despite how horrible the circumstances are it brings you closer with the loved ones you still have
I’ve been abused by my stepdad, neglected and verbally abused by my mom, my real dad left me and I’ve been raped and molested for 7 years by my grandpa , I’ve never stopped believing. I don’t think Satan likes how much love I had for God how much I believed in him so Satan tried hurting me for years I admit he got me a couple times where I questioned God but I never stopped believing and Satan was angry but God said enough and all of the abuse was over he said I’ve been through enough I’ve shown my love… he showed me that I was put through a brutal test but he said enough and it was over Love Jesus Christ ❤
ARE YOU NOW OK?
If this is still happening to you, please reach out to someone you trust who can help you
I hape your doing well ❤❤❤😢
Hope you're okay now sister!!!
I've been homeless twice, I have an unknown illness and have to do testing, i lost relatives on my mom's side, but I still am thankful and hope to see that little light come over that dark hill.
I love that this channel makes it easy for believers and non-believers alike to understand the depth and implications of the word of God, while also not ostracizing non-believers. This is one of the main reasons i kept watching your channel. Good information, good quality and a good heart! Love you brother, and God bless!
thank you :)
Consider this scenario:
A man is waiting at a crosswalk of a very busy intersection. Suddenly he hears the cries of a terrified mother behind him. Turning around, he sees a toddler running in his direction, giving every sign that the child will run right past him and bolt into traffic. The man realizes he could effortlessly extend his hand and stop the toddler, saving the child's life. He also understands he could prevent the untold heartache of a mother watching her child horribly die, and the grief and trauma of every witness, motorist, family member and friend.
Instead the man freely chooses to do nothing. Tires screech, vehicles collide, lives are ruined and one is lost. The light turns red and the man walks around the carnage and continues on his way.
Is that man evil? YES or NO?
How is a god who allows countless accidents, catastrophes, and natural disasters to happen that kill or destroy MILLIONS also not evil?
Tragedies happen.
Either your god cannot stop them, OR chooses not to, OR does not exist.
That means either your god is powerless, OR evil, OR imaginary.
Take your pick and choose wisely.
I'm young, and I recently tried to come back from a life of atheism. You see, I previously lived with my mother who was Christian yet incredibly abusive both mentally and emotionally, and she would tell me, "Oh, god loves you, but if you do this, this, this, or this, you'll go to hell blah blah blah. I learned that people say that God is a loving god, but he never felt loving.
So after leaving her house to live with my grandmother, I assumed that Christian stuff was evil, and I unintentionally became an atheist.
Then, about a few months ago, i started watching these videos that described hell and how this man 'allegedly' went to hell and came back. I got scared and started praying for god to save me from that, and then I felt like a Christian again. Then I saw a video on my recommended saying that lukewarm Christians won't go to heaven. I keep praying for god to show me a sign, show me that im not alone, and show me that he's out there. But lately, a bunch of shits been happening to me, my anxieties have been getting worse, I pray to god throughout the day because im afraid that if i die right now, I'll go to hell. I feel like God is incredibly judgemental, and I have to walk on eggshells, Im just so fucking scared, any Christian might walk up to me and say jUsT reAd tHe BiBLe, yeah, i do that, is that just supposed to magically fix my unbelief or something? If so, it's yet to do so. I just, i dont know.
If my faith is being tested, then Im failing. I dont know if I can do this.
I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with this! I have been going through similar things that you’re experience and I have found that mindfulness techniques and meditation help me a lot. You could try and search them up on TH-cam. Also when you are experiencing anxiety remember that God says we should cats all out burdens on Him and to remember to breath and give all your worries to him. Also, you could consider going to a therapist (there are Christian therapist) so that they can help you with what you are experiencing but I’m sure that there are similar resources on TH-cam. Lastly, I think you should try and make some Christian friends to allow them to give you advice. Sorry if this advice isn’t helpful but remember that God comforts those that are defeated in their hearts. But I will keep you in my prayers, God bless you! ❤️🩹✝️
hi please continue to pray, God won’t leave nor forsaken you after you’ve given your life to him whole heartedly ❤️ repent and turn away from any sin your stuck in and he will forgive you. the devil comes to trick our minds into thinking we’re not worthy enough for Gods love and we don’t belong in his kingdom. but God wants all of us there rejoicing with him after this life. i won’t say you have plenty of time to get right with the man above but i will say as long as you’re eagerly trying he sees you and is well pleased. god bless you ml💗
The answer is quite simple: God is not love, it's a cosmic horror. Suffering, torture, agony and madness are his ways.
@@haitaelpastor976Down with atheism, up with God.
@@FalangeRevolutionary986 I'm not atheist.
I’m 54, been a Christian since I was 12, and this has to be the best description of why there’s pain and suffering. This channel is awesome. Ty.
This video made me tear up. I recently lost 2 friends in my sorority and have been asking this question a lot and doubting God even though I know all the good things He has done in mine and other’s lives. Thank you for this and God bless those who are going through hardships🤍
Came here because I lost my pastor this year. I was even looking forward for him to be baptising me this year and I even prayed to Jesus to make him not die 😢😢😭😭
I can FEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL all that passion in your voice. Those quick drawings were incredible. Great word. 😢
My big sister passed a few months ago - she was 25. I miss her constantly, and I felt like I couldn’t bear the crushing weight of grief and so although I wasn’t practicing my faith.. I picked up the bible as I felt only God could save me from my sorrow. I’m sure you know what I am going to say.. but God held me and lifted the weight of grief, our Heavenly Father never fails us. Pray for my sister Amy that she may rest in heaven until we meet again ❤
God bless you all, my brothers and sisters - I love you all ❤
im so sorry for your loss
So sorry, may The Lord comfort you
Im so sorry for your loss
@@ImpactVideoMinistriesWhy did you use a ball Earth? It is wrong. Look at the water, it is always on level.
This video certainly taught me something and made me notice a connection. For years in my young age, I was bullied and harassed by so many people... It was so extremely tough to endure, and it shattered me at such a young age. I asked God, "Why?! Why am I going through this! Why am I being forced to endure such hardships?! To be so severely hurt and mentally destroyed?!" I wanted an answer as to why I was being put through such torture. I wanted God to do something to stop the torment I was being forced through.
A while later down the line, I understood why a bully of mine was picking on me so much. He was dealing with such painful things in his life himself. I was merely his punching bag, his way to release all of his emotions, and his stress relief. When I heard that he had been dealing with such a hard life himself...I wanted to forgive him. I wanted to say that I understood why he did what he did to me.
The bullying he put me through taught me a lesson. Empathy, true empathy. The kind of empathy that really does make you feel bad for the ones that put YOU through a stupid amount of pain and suffering. I used to think that because of the bullying that I was put through, that I would never be able to forgive them. That I would hold a grudge against them for the rest of my life. But that all changed because of this. This lesson of empathy. This lesson, that God taught me of empathy, truly changed that. And it was God that made this happen. This was his plan for me during that time when I was being bullied. He didn't help me because he really did have a plan for me. I didn't listen and I didn't understand at the time but now... Now I do, I understand, I know why that happened, and I know why nothing was done about it at the time. This lesson changed my life and I've been able to perceive things much easier. "Love and forgive thy enemy." Was something God or Jesus said. I don't know the full details, but it was something similar to that nature. And wow, he really did get me to forgive my enemies. This was part of his plan for me. Things will happen, and we may not understand them at first. Eventually, all will be revealed, all will be understood. Thank you God, for teaching me this lesson.
To all my enemies out there, to all my haters and people that despise me and may even want me dead... I forgive you. I forgive you all. I wish only the best for all of you. I really, truly do hope everything is going much better for you all now. And to the people reading this who may be dealing with hardships yourself, and may not understand why you're going through them. God has a plan for us all. Eventually, you will understand why you were put through such tedious struggles. People would always tell me that things would get better, I never believed them, and it started to get annoying to always hear the same answer from different people. It makes sense now. The reason it's so widespread, and is the usual answer for such problems...is because it's true. It's real and I've seen the answers for myself. Things do get better. Things will eventually get better, you just have to give it time. Lots and lots of time...
Live your life the best way you can, before it's stripped away from you without a moment to even understand what was happening. Life can be unpredictable, like can be cruel. But it's our job to deal with what we may be put through in a humane matter. Because it's all part of God's plan for us. I may have my struggles with God myself, but this video really helped me to connect better with God more.
Whatever religion you may follow, it may not be any religion at all. The world really does feel like it's coming to an end extremely soon. We're witnessing it's collapse as I type this, and as you're reading this. It's a scary world we're living in right now, and I feel like we should all start preparing for the inevitable. Live your lives the best way you can...before there's nothing left...
This video was a great reminder to me that I am still loved and noticed even through tough times.
You are truly doing a great job. God bless you brother.
How do you figure?
He is testing our faith. I've failed many times. I've rebelled against you. Turned to other things. Distracted and battling my bank account. I take nothing with me when I die. Too many shootings. Help me know truth from reality. Count your blessings. Positive.
I like this division of head and heart. Could you do one for those struggling with religiosity/ Legalistic OCD?
I doubt apologetics ministries like this have any concept of the harmful effects of religious trauma and lifelong programming’s leading to the mental patterns of ocd.
Religion itself is a societal sickness. A sort of OCD which is experience socially on a cultural level.
I had to deal with this decades ago. It takes a lotta healing.
This video is exactly what I needed to hear and see. I can relate to everything that was said in this video. Now I know what to do, and know why I'm going through this bad time in my life. I believe God has a plan and purpose for me. I must continue to pray, believe, and read my Bible so I can do God's will. Thank you. I appreciate all your videos. God bless
God bless you. And God does have a wonderful plan for you.
@petermacquarrie8977 Amen, I believe and know he does. Thank you and God bless you as well

I know this video is three years old, but the message behind this is still extremely strong. And I have to say as someone who has lost family and a matter of them taking their own self out, it is not exactly a fun thing to go through, especially not when you're at a young age... to lose a family member is already horrendous, but to do so at say anywhere from a teenager and younger is horrendous on the mind, because that's one of the key points of your life when you're growing the most.
Thank you guys very much for this video, and again, fantastic work... And for those of you who like the music genre Metal, whether you like it or not actually, there is a song by As I Lay Dying called "Redefined". Even if you don't necessarily like Metal, the message behind the song is extremely profound, and I would say even so wouldn't do so strong will to endure. That song comes to mind when watching this video.
I'm not going to lie, the about appreciating the family you have left within the video started to get to me a little bit, and the event that happened to me happened 9 years ago... so a bit of advice for anyone going through that, it doesn't go away, it is painful, incredibly so, but the most important thing you can do is not let that Crush you mentally. Don't let it destroy you, because I've been down that black void and had some very very very dark thoughts going through my head at that time, and trust me you don't want to stay there, because I feel as though that opens up the floodgates for something to try to take over you, something you don't want attached to you or around you...
Just remember, you can talk to Jesus and anytime, and any given day, and for any length of time. Jesus is not picky about what you say, how you say it, even if you stumble along the way with your words, he just loves the fact that you're talking to him. Always remember that Jesus loves you.
Sorry for your loss im truly grateful that you have found Jesus and that your using your experience to help others
God bless your soul!!
Thanks for the message
May God have mercy. I have recently just cut ties with my relatives who trusted my bro who is a narcissist and manipulated them to despise me. Eventhough I have been avoiding him for some time. This is harder than loosing my job. Oh God please give me strength to overcome all these.
We are not promised joy or happiness in this lifetime, there will be suffering, but we can be assured that it will all be used for good by God. Depression comes from dwelling in the past, anxiety comes from dwelling in the future, we should try to he present minded. Jesus loves you all❤️
If we are not promised joy or happiness, then why are we promised suffering? Like, that doesn’t make any sense.

Struggling with this right now. I'm 44 years old and married to a woman I love more than anything else. We have 3 kids under the age of 15 and she recently was diagnosed with breast cancer. Chemo has been a nightmare and although she has a good shot at making it, I'm so scared of losing her. At the same, time, my business is having some issues I really can't control and it feels like things keep escalating. Just 3 years ago, I lost my house in a fire and now this. It truly never seems to end. Please pray for me as I really am struggling to have the strength to do it myself.
@boobsmcgee5802 don’t worry put you’re stress and worries on to god’s hand. Let God take your lead he is always here. You can make it through everything with God!
Thank you GOD for all of the GOOD THINGS happening❤
This is the best video I have ever seen in my life you practically proved gods existence and the reason people are the way we are. Keep up the amazing work!
Recently, my life has been very difficult, and very hard. I grew up in a christian household, but lately I have been very distant from god and pushed him away. This video spoke to me very well, and I really needed this right now. It was like this video was directly speaking directly to me. Thank you so much.
basically.
The reason i went through mental abuse, judgement, self-harm, ect...
Is so i can find a standard. I can find my morals. To be more relatable and humble, to care for people who go through the same as me.
I have this lingering self-hatred but i still wanna help, even if a part of me wants to prank people. This is why im more mature in my early stages and why i have hope and grace in me
All such good points. I really appreciate you taking on both aspects of this argument - the head AND the heart.
Bad things happen in a fallen world. I heard this quote once; God is not the cause of those bad things, but He is the comforter through them.
my beloved 7 year old dog who has been there for me in the most critical time of my life has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer. we are all absolutely devistated. i've never seen my dad cry before until that night. Rudi was there for me when I suffered abuse, self harm, anorexia, addiction and even had to stay at a hospital for a long time because of this. there is still hope it's actually something different but i dont want to get my hopes up. people can be cruel and just go after our money by giving us false hopes. we don't have money but the doctors are saying we have to pay if we want to know if he is actually going to die or live. what a cruel world. i can barely wait to finally face God and eternal peace, but I will fight either way. regardless of my situation i can feel God's love stronger than ever. I hold no grudge against him. I may not understand and that is okay. i am allowed to cry, be angry and devistated, but God is good, ALWAYS. it really feels like my faith is being tested very very hard right now but thanks to Him i am not breaking and rooted in my faith. HALLELUJAH LORD YOU ARE PERFECT
I am very sorry your dog got diagnosed with cancer, its very tragic to see a loved one get a life threatening disease. I hope your dog wins in the fight against bone cancer, and god bless you ❤
Just wanted to let you know on Easter evening past. I’m sorry that you’ve lost your beloved pet. maybe you could reach out in time not right now when your heart feeling your ready to love again.
and find a dog to spend some cherish time with the dog you had was there for you I’m so happy for that. A senior I think God every single day for my two dogs 🐕 and family SO May God Almighty bless you . don’t let your heart close off of the love that you can give another dog it’s not the dog you have. I read what you said if you can write such glorious words I can’t think of somebody better to get a puppy when your heart feels ready I prayed for both of my dogs and the Lord sent me to both of them
@@MargieB51 thank you so much for your kind message. I actually did get another dog. His name is Finn and he bring me so much joy. I still have my Rudi in my heart and get a bit sad when I see pictures of him but it has gotten a lot better with time. It was easier knowing from the beginning that God would have something good coming from me after a time of sorrow. God bless you Margie 💗
im a pretty young christian who lost a grandparent due to cancer and what made it all worse was that he was my only grandpa (my other grandpa died before i was born) and it was a hard time but here i am almost a year later finding this and i wanna say thank you a lot and may god bless ur souls and im so sorry for each and one of you who lost somone u loved ive been there and trust me you will get trough it time heals..god bless each and one of you

@@1mol831 Whoever makes these videos
you gained a new subscriber i came from the how to improve your relationship with God thanks for giving me a starting point time is running out and i was afraid id be left behind
Time has been running out for the last 20 centuries! (Matthew 24:25) How have you not realized these people are liars. Every one of them.
I actually pray for the bad people to give their life to God
This is very commendable... only, it is written at Matthew 7:14 "narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it". Unfortunately not many will make it into the new earth, so we must stay very resilient if we wish to do so.
@@colinpierre3441 ok
@@colinpierre3441I do this too, I often ask god to fill those unfaithful’s hearts with love, guidance, and energy. I don’t know much about religion, I’ve barely cracked open the Bible and don’t know whether Christians read both testaments or just the new testament, or what to pray about. I feel guided and loved, but I assume I’m a bit lost religiously and would like some help
@@ava.at_bvIt is not a religion, it is a faith in which you grow your relationship with God.
Odd... since I knew from my ancestors about WAR - IS BAD,
why would I am going through war events in Ukraine?
Despite I warned others to beware of disgrace and disrespect of others values and beliefs?
Why me? What if I wish everybody to be happy by their own desire, not for selfish desire for good outcome of all of this only for me?
Bless all, Kievan citizen.
After experiencing two miscarriages I really needed to hear this. This is the first time I heard something that really touched my soul.
im so sorry
I'm fortunate to have one beautiful daughter who is turning eight this year! It seems that since then we have had trouble though. I have had multiple confirmations that God promised us another child. 🙏
It hasn't been easy and I've honestly questioned both times why God allowed it to happen after so many promises. I've even been angry at God, I won't lie.
But, as you said and as the Bible says: "All things work together for the Good to those who love God."
I am holding to that ❤
i prayed for you. one day at a time :)
Thank you very much. God bless.
Those 2 babies instantly went to heaven or will go and didn't have to fight temptations or sin like the rest of us. ♥️🥰
It's a shame that this video has not been viewed more. I would compare it to the inspiring sermons of those inspiring and true-hearted. Thanks IVM
Bro honestly you are amazing! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I haven’t been the best person to be around and I’m trying everyday. Please pray for me that I am not tempted to do sinful things and that I always have God at the forefront of everything I do ❤️ thank you again for this amazing video. God bless you all.
Exactly what I needed. I hadn’t got a stable job the past 3 years and I had been praying that God will lead me somewhere wheee I would be able to work well. I’m enduring and hanging on because of him and his encouragement to keep going.
I just lost a loved one and you don't understand how much this video has helped me. God bless you
im sorry for your loss. i prayed for you
Brought me to tears thank you
Thank you so much for this video,and your channel too it always helps alot when I watched them everyday to make me feel better, thank you for making this a video it really helps me to be more appreciative of what I have,because when I was 3 my Dad died because of a heart attack. It didn't really hurt me because I was just a toddler and didn't understand anything, and as I grew older I started to realise what I've lost and it hurts me the more I grew up seeing other people with a complete parents and sometimes I think God doesn't want me to have a dad or something, and sometimes I also feel alone/lonely but when I saw this channel for the first time,it touched my heart and made me cry, thank you so much for who made this video,because I can understand more about Jesus and be closer to him so I really appreciate this. God bless you for anyone who's reading this ❤️🙏🏻
Well though life may seem unfair let us put God first. So even if we loose everything and still have God, we have everything. Hmm lets pray we never go through things that will kill our faith or even put us down for Good. And may God strengthen us.
My eleven year old sister and I had to suffer the death of our grandmother and when I saw this I was rageing mad at first. But later in the end I unstood more. It has now been 5 weeks now. Keep making these videos. Ahem
Im so sorry
I've had this question before. Before, I had no answer. I had this question now, and now, I know theres a loving God. Thank you💙
So powerful bro! Blessings and peace!
This video nearly brought me to tears. Thank you.
This was a fabulous message. Thankyou.
I genuinely broke into tears hearing the end of the video, well-assured I never heard words hit so hard in my entire life. Everything is so shockingly true and relatable.
I Love you Jesus I am learning to build a relationship with you Jesus Amen
Your channel explains so much to me, Thank you so much. 🙏❤ God bless. ❤🙏
Your videos always make me cry because it touches my heart deeply. Thank you for your ministry. God bless you.
This made me feel so much better ,with scriptures so encouraging 💖😍
This is a message my mother needs to hear.
As someone who is non-Christian, this helped support my agrument as to why i don't think that a God would exist in the way most Religious groups think of it.

@@peter_cornellwdym?
I struggle with this. Almost everyday. I don't have it as bad as others, but I still struggle with guilt. I struggle with the memories of my sins, my fears, and my feelings of inadequacy. And, I struggle to understand God's plan, and how I fit into it when I'm suffering, or, when I see others who are suffering, and I ask God... why? I find it difficult to even appreciate life when I know that evil is prevalent in our world, and there are moments when I want to just find a way out, just so that I don't have to be a part of this anymore. I feel trapped.
These videos are really helpful in strengthening my faith. I have had a belief for a long time that while God exists-he loves everyone but me. I have a good, blessed life but my confidence is easily eroded due to my inability to really empathize or connect with others. I am glad I have these videos to help me with my perspective. God gave me a beautiful perspective for others-now I just have to include myself in it.
I love this video so much.....everything made so much sense, after awhile of pondering on this question....I love your content ❤😊
That really hit home! God bless you all 🙏❤️
Thank you for doing what you’re doing. God bless you ❤️

Thank you, GOD bless.
As far as why bad things like illness and accidents happen, I do have an explanation: *we live in a fallen world* due to Adam and Eve, after being tempted by Satan in the Garden of Eden, *disobeyed God and sinned,* which gave Satan the keys to our world (which Jesus took back after His death and resurrection).
The world became *fallen* after sin was unleashed upon it, and became inherently broken. Earthquakes, tornadoes, rock slides, hurricanes... all due to this broken, fallen world we live in now.
This is why God will create a *new Heaven and new Earth* described at the end of Revelation. Sin will be GONE, there will be no more evil done, no more rebellion, no more accidents, and no more disasters. And "all sadness and sighing will cease."
As it is written, *He will wipe every tear from our eyes.*
May God bless anyone and everyone who reads this and watches this video. Hopefully what I said will help a bit.
God, I’m sorry
Thank you so much for this I’ve gone to share this with my friends. This was so beautiful and made me cry . God bless everyone let’s go to heaven together!!
God I want to come closer to you
This is the best explanation I have ever heard on this topic.
Consider this scenario:
A man is waiting at a crosswalk of a very busy intersection. Suddenly he hears the cries of a terrified mother behind him. Turning around, he sees a toddler running in his direction, giving every sign that the child will run right past him and bolt into traffic. The man realizes he could effortlessly extend his hand and stop the toddler, saving the child's life. He also understands he could prevent the untold heartache of a mother watching her child horribly die, and the grief and trauma of every witness, motorist, family member and friend.
Instead the man freely chooses to do nothing. Tires screech, vehicles collide, lives are ruined and one is lost. The light turns red and the man walks around the carnage and continues on his way.
Is that man evil? YES or NO?
How is a god who allows countless accidents, catastrophes, and natural disasters to happen that kill or destroy MILLIONS also not evil?
Tragedies happen.
Either your god cannot stop them, OR chooses not to, OR does not exist.
That means either your god is powerless, OR evil, OR imaginary.
Take your pick and choose wisely.
@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 Listen brother. God is very complex, us mere humans can’t fathom to understand how he works. In your scenario if we use the first argument about the survival of the fittest, then the loss of life isn’t tied to any moral standing, that man cannot be evil or good by those standards. God gives us the moral standing as we wouldn’t know what to determine right from wrong, the Bible gives us rules on how to live. To answer “why does he allow it to happen”. It’s because of free will and sin. Humans chose to sin, so the world is corrupted by evil. We also all have free will to have a choice how to live our lives, if he made life all perfect we wouldn’t be able to appreciate it (as said in the video). Of course it goes deeper than this and I would also feel terrible if I was in that scenario, but again, we chose to sin and Jesus still paid the price for our sins so that we can live with him for eternity in his kingdom, and that is the greatest form of love.
@@laserbeam444maddness7 Sounds like you are unable to answer simple yes/no question: _Is that man evil?_
Your God is not "complex" but evil. Just like the man at the crosswalk. And for the same reason.
Also this has nothing to do with "survival of the fittest." I suggest you refrain from using scientific-sounding terms when you are not educated in Biology.
The better my life is the more I appreciate it, not _less._
I am truly sorry if you think you _deserve_ tragedy in your life, or can't even say letting a child die horribly for no reason is evil.
Pity.
We suffer so we will be better people. We suffer so we will learn. We suffer so we will understand. We suffer so we will be victorious. We suffer so we will love others. We suffer so we will be Godly. We suffer so we will pay attention. We e suffer so we will be compationite. We suffer suffer so we will be gentle. We suffer so we will be kind.
Such a loving God, that only knows to do things through suffering.

@@ImpactVideoMinistries Thank you
Amazing video that actually brought me to tears. It's helped me understand things so much better - thank you 🙏🏻❤
As a Christian, I absolutely loved the second part of the video, but I think the argument on survival of the fittest and morals was a bit weaker. If evolution was real, there would also be room for morals to develop because if everyone lived for their own personal benefit, it wouldn’t be as effective as if everyone worked together. If everyone were to work together, we would need a common code that encouraged certain things and discouraged others, therefore creating good and bad.
If life without suffering makes it impossible to appreciate what you have, wouldn't the same thing be true in heaven?
That doesn't make sense because people didn't go to heaven since the start of creation. We have our existence here and all the pain and evil and suffering would still be in the memory of God's children. We know the consequences of sin and evil.
Easy, Heaven's not earth and they play by different rules!
But I believe we keep our experiences and memories
Amazing video. Just what I needed. Thankyou.
Thank you for this lesson we appreciate you.❤️
God bless🙏
Hey everyone I the comments
I saw the title of this video and immediately wanted to share.
When I was in high school I had a piece of literature that I had to read and it was about a similar topic. That piece was called- pain:tool of the wounded surgeon. By dr Phill Yancey. Hands Down the best answer I’ve ever read!! I will DIE on that hill.
This kind of content is probably the most helpful and encouraging out there
This is wonderful done, thank you so much, addressing a topic as sensitive as this is very difficult
Thanks for these wonderful reminders ❤️
I agree that "bad things" are only temporary and somewhat subjectively experiential. I also agree that suffering in past or presence might have some positive effect on our future. And I even agree with the idea that bad things are made by our free choice, or at least some of them (natural disasters are an exeption, i think.)
But still, the idea that our world, life and afterlife - the way that all is and looks like - is the "perfect God´s plan" .... that is just unacceptable. There are many, many questions that remain unanswered and blindly ignored.
Yes. Innocent children drowning under the violent waves of killer tsunamis are not the result of “free will” if god could not make a world without widespread misery, then he is not all powerful. We know he didn’t, so if you think he IS all powerful, then he is NOT Good.
How can u appreciate light if there exists no light.
How can u know love if there exists no hate .....❤💖
You don't need bad to appreciate good. I don't need to eat a cow pie to enjoy an apple pie.
Your videos have been monumental in my understanding of God. Answering questions I get asked a lot with research backing the response helps me be confident spreading God's message as a teacher. Thank you so much.
Thx Brother. I really need prayer. A lot of BAD things keep happening to me beyond my control.
Brother in Christ? Shake off ALLLLL THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. YOU GOOTA GUVE IT TO GOD. REMEMBER...HE WORKS OUT EVERYTHING FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM! PRAY FOR PATIENCE BROTHER. GOD IN HEAVEN SEES AND HEARS YOU. HE WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU. HIS PROMISES ARE REAL. MAY GOD SHINE HIS FACE ON YOU AND BLESS YOU W PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERYTHI G WILL COME TO PASS. AMEN
Ah yes, the problem of evil... but why not present it in its original form?
_"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then from whence comes evil?"_
@thewanderandhiscomp Sounds about right. I do love the gymnastics that Christians go through when the problem of evil comes up. They end up either tossing out stories from their bible or neutering their "all powerful" god.
@@timeshark8727
Cosmicskeptic and other atheists admit that the problem of evil is a super bad argument against God... Richard Dawkins even says: "The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference."
So if you are going to claim there is real evil and real good then you are claiming there is a real God... for example demons would not be evil if there was no creator because then they can do what they want the same with us... another example is if there is a game without a creator then there are no rules in that game and then people can do what they want in it... the same is true for us... animals killing each other are not doing something evil the same would be true for us killing each other it would not be evil if there was no creator...

"The VIDEO is about the problem of evil, in my post I ask why they didn't present it in it's most common form.

He was not worrying about the problem of evil you atheists bring up he was trying to help people understand and help people that are having troubles... you on the other hand hate God and you are probably brainwashed into hating Him... i think demons love the fact that so many atheists hate God and at the same time think He does not exist... because they want atheists as far away from God's love and forgiveness as possible... and they probably laugh their butts of at atheists that believe their body's programming code has no creator...
"- Also, why present a logical fallacy as some form of argument?
"
You claim I made a fallacy without backing it up with evidence... like you atheists like to say claims without evidence can be rejected without evidence... watch out that you don't fall for the "fallacy fallacy".... The fallacy fallacy is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone assumes that if an argument contains a logical fallacy, then its conclusion must necessarily be wrong.
"Richard Dawkins even says..."
"- Followed by a quote that has nothing to do what so ever with the problem of evil.
"
It does because Richard Dawkins says "there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference." He would be right if there was no creator... but because there is a creator there is real design, real purposed and real good and evil and not just blind pitiless indifference... so if you are going to claim there is real evil then you are claiming there is a real creator... only with a creator is there at bottom real purpose, real design and real good and real evil...
"So if you are going to claim"
"- I haven't claimed a darn thing, so stop constructing dishonest strawmen and assigning claims and assigning things to me.
"
You claim there is a problem of evil... while there is no problem in your world view because there is no real evil if there is no creator... if there is no creator then you can do what you want... but if there is one then you will have to give and account for every evil thing you have done in life... for example how many times have you lied in your life? you really think you are going to get away with all the evil you did in life? You really think you are going to get away with all the slander against God?
"- Only if you base your ideas of good/evil, right/wrong, etc on some sort of creator... which we do not in reality."
Most of the world does... because most of the world believes in a creator... and the creator gave every person at least basic morals and a conscience... so they can't claim they did not know... just like you talking to me will make you not able to claim that no one warned you that you would be rightfully condemned and eternally separated from God if you do not repent from all the evil you do in life... those that want God will search for Him but people like you that hate God and want nothing to do with Him will go to His enemies and listen to what they have to say about Him... just like going to demons that hate God and hearing all the propaganda they give you in order for you to hate God.... Hitler did the same with the Germans... spread propaganda so that people would hate the Jews... I wonder if you would have listened to him as well just like you listen to the evil in this world that absolutely hates God...
