    Dear Pastor Greg, you started out as our pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship 30 years ago when my children were five and three years old. Nevermind my age let's skip on haha. I visited many churches as we had just moved to Riverside got it given me such discernment at a very early age that it took five churches before I found or was lead to Harvest Christian Fellowship and our Pastor Greg we love you, we will always love you and you will always be our Pastor Greg. In Christ Jesus, Brandon, Brittany Мom

    Jesus humbled himself. Great gift. He was good I suppose now. Follow me. Even tougher now, but new chapter and I was waiting for some new wine. Even with the many thousands of stories you can make, even after reading the whole Bible...it's still to short. New Chapter in my life, same life. Good things really do come down from the Father. Thank You! Jesus, for all your disciples, you have a beautiful family. Glory to God and His Great POWER.

    I believe 100% what the pastor is teaching. Sir you are a great teacher, because I know for sure 100% that I've been chosen by The Father, and I have chosen the Father through Jesus Christ. Many Christian in America have tried to convince me I am not chosen but have been saved because I merely believe but that is not true, how can you believe in someone you don't know first? I always knew The Father chose me first for he searched my heart and then when I knew who God truly is then I chose him (Jesus Christ). I don't why the western christians can't understand this, you can't find God unless he allows you. Love the lessons!

    God Is Not Concerned About Debates All The While. He Actually Don’t Encourage Debates, Because They Lead To Pride And Strife And Endless Doctrinal Arguments. God Is Concerned About Our Hearts And If We Have Any Idols In Our Compartments In Our Mind. This Video Is Very Informative Because, The Task Is Getting The Gospel Of Christ Out And Living What We Know To That The Bible Says To Be True, Weather We Like Or Agree With It Or Not. The Father Is Love And We Love Him Because He Loved Us First. God Bless This Ministry In Christ Jesus.

    Good stuff. & i'm left thinking: I'm not surprised "Predestination" has been a 2000yr long debate! i did a double take on the explanation here as ive often wondered how God's method worked in fore-knowing & choosing us ever since I 1'st heard "He chose us b4 we were born" what I don't fully understand is: Did God choose us entirely by knowing the future, i.e. did he choose us purely by (obviously) knowing we would be born & kowing us purely by knowing how our lives would pan-out & knowing we would accept him in our coming lifetime? Or (less-likely? but an old strange & vivid dream made me wonder but i have since learned of 'demonic influence') ...When God chose us before this creation, did we pre-exist our present life in some non-flesh form for God to know us b4 creation (& we him or 'of him') then choose us & cause us to be born with no memory of having a pre-birth existance? I'm 100% sure that all this is not a deal-breaker but facinating nonetheless. I'll hear that explanation once more in case something escaped me relating to the above.

    We all were created before the foundation of the World then we choose our parts in this simulation for the creation of our soul-personality-character. The anti-elect chose to be of God's left hand not in His right hand. Job AMP 38:21 You must know, since you were born then...because you are so extremely old! The rest is a paste. God is good and takes full responsibility for the creation of evil. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Proverbs 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. And God promises to remove evil completely. Nahum 1:9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Evil is temporarily necessary for us to have the free will necessary to create our own soul, personality, character. Evil and Hell are simply the absence of God. God = fiery, love, light, good, truth, life Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire... hell = fiery, hate, dark, evil, lies, death. 1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire (God); and the fire shall try every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) of what sort it is. 1 Corinthians 3:14 If any man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself (spirit, mind, consciousness) shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1 Peter 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character), pass the time of your sojourning (temporary residence) here in fear: Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men (spirit, mind, consciousness) once to die (separate from God like Adam), but after this the judgment:(the Krisis of rejoining God) Revelation 20:14 And death (separation from God) and hell (negative God) were cast into the lake of fire (God). This is the second death. (separation from an evil soul, personality, character). Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire (God) and brimstone: which is the second death.(separation from an evil soul, personality, character) Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death (separation from God), neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. But Matthew 16:26 For what is a man (spirit, mind, consciousness) profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (soul, personality, character)? or what shall a man (spirit, mind, consciousness) give in exchange for his soul (soul, personality, character)? Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man (spirit, mind, consciousness), if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (soul, personality, character)?
