An Open Letter From God - Paul Harvey

- My Dear Children (and believe me, that’s all of you),
I consider myself a pretty patient guy. I mean, look at the Grand Canyon. It took millions of years to get it right. And about evolution? Boy, nothing is slower than designing that whole Darwinian thing to take place, cell by cell, gene by gene. And I have been patient through your fashions, civilizations, wars and schemes, and the countless ways you take me for granted until you get yourselves into big trouble again and again. I want to let you know about some of the things that are starting to tick me off.
First of all, your religious rivalries are driving me up a wall. Enough already! Let’s get one thing straight. These are YOUR religions, not mine. I’m the whole enchilada; I’m beyond them all. Every one of your religions claims there’s only one of me (which by the way, is absolutely true). But in the very next breath, each religion claims it’s my favorite one. And each claims its bible was written personally by me, and that all the other bible’s are man-made. Oh, Me.
How do I even begin to put a stop to such complicated nonsense? Okay, listen up now. I’m your Father AND Mother, and I don’t play favorites among my children. Also, I hate to break it to you, but I don’t write. My longhand is awful, and I’ve always been more of a “doer” anyway. So ALL of your books, including those bibles, were written by men and women. There were inspired men and women. They were remarkable people, but they also made mistakes here and there. I made sure of that, so that you would never trust a written word more than your own living heart.
You see, one human being to me - even a bum on the street - is worth more than all the Holy Books in the world. That’s just the kind of guy I am. My spirit is not an historical thing, it’s alive right here, right now, as fresh as your next breath.
Holy books and religious rites are sacred and powerful, but not more so than the least of you. They were only meant to steer you in the right direction, not to keep you arguing with each other, and certainly not to keep you from trusting your own personal connection with me.
Which brings me to my next point about your nonsense. You act like I need you and your religions to stick up for me or “win souls” for my sake. Please, don’t do me any favors. I can stand quite well on my own, thank you. I don’t need you to defend me, and I don’t need constant credit. I just want you to be good to each other.
I don’t need you to defend me, and I don’t need constant credit. I just want you to be good to each other.
And another thing: I don’t get all worked up over money or politics, so stop dragging my name into your dramas. For example, I swear to Me that I never threatened Oral Roberts. I never rode in any of Rajneesh’s Rolls Royces. I never told Pat Robertson to run for president, and I’ve never ever had a conversation with Jim Bakker, Jerry Falwell, or Jimmy Swaggart! Of course, come Judgement Day, I certainly intend to…
Now the thing is, I want you to stop thinking of religion as some sort of loyalty pledge to me. The true purpose of your religions is so that YOU can become more aware of ME, not the other way around. Believe me, I know you already. I know what’s in each of your hearts, and I love you anyway with no strings attached. Lighten up and enjoy me. That’s what religion is best for.
What you seem to forget is how mysterious I am. You look at the petty differences in your Scriptures and say, “Well, if this is the truth, then that can’t be!” But instead of trying to figure out my paradoxes and unfathomable nature - which by the way, you never will - why not open your hearts to the simple common threads in every religion?
You know what I’m talking about: Love and respect everyone. Be kind. Even when life is scary or confusing, take courage and be of good cheer, for I am always with you. Learn how to be quiet, so you can hear my still, small voice (I don’t like to shout). Leave the world a better place by living your life with dignity and gracefulness, for you are my own child. Hold back nothing from life, for the parts of you that can die surely will, and the parts that can’t, won’t. So don’t worry, be happy (I stole that last line from Bobby McFerrin, but who do you think gave it to him in the first place?)
You can call me and my special ones any name you choose, if only you would go about my business of loving one another as I love you. How can you keep neglecting something so simple?
Simple stuff. Why do you keep making it so complicated? It’s like you’re always looking for an excuse to be upset. And I’m very tired of being your main excuse. Do you think I care whether you call me Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Wakantonka, Brahma, Father, Mother or even the Void of Nirvana? Do you think I care which of my special children you feel closest to - Jesus, Mary, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed or any of the others?

Paul Harvey was a hated man. He had death threats all the time. The government tried to shut him down. He wasn't afraid the evil that didn't want to hear the truth. The battle rages on. God's word is true, don't back down God is with us❤❤❤
I've studied Mr. Harvey's life and career at depth over the last couple of years and have never heard that he was a hated man. I've never heard that he had death threats. It could have been the case though. I need to research that aspect more. :)
My Dad loved Paul Harvey and listened to him all of the time. One of my favorite childhood memories
@@beckyteague-4407Same here. His voice is so comforting to me. This was the first time I’ve heard this “Letter from God”. I agree with much of it but not all of it.
Had no idea!
Yes Religion is bondage Jesus is freedom💞 he is in all equality of man kind mystery 💞💞💞💯
"I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father except by Me" ~ Jesus
:)
Amen and amen
Amen, I’m 68 and my folks were living examples of how to honor GOD. Live life loving God!
Mine too...@@timwalcott6268
God is not buhda
Paul Harvey was a good man, a very wise man. Loved listening to him. Wish we had him back.
:)
He was woke. Not a Believer in the one Creator who is Jesus
I miss him.
I miss Paul Harvey. The childhood memories of hearing him on the radio 12 noon Monday thru Friday.
I'm glad hearing this brought back fond memories. :)
me2
Don't worry. He is still doing his daily radio thing, "now the rest of the story". We just can't hear him. He is transmitting on a freq we can't pick up right now.
We all miss the Icon of childhood and radio from the eighties. I loved listening to this great man, he was something else, like no other person on the radio. Nobody had a voice that made you stop and listen like, Paul Harvey.
@@thatolddragon5560 He was a very smart man if you listen some of them like the God story
His voice was Powerful and Respected!
This is God's Country!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I agree completely. :)
Hope we get more believers to make this true again❤❤❤
Paul Harvey was ahead of his time
You're absolutely right. :)
Way ahead of his time, i use to listen to him when living In texas, while my husband was stationed in the army, Fort Hood and Fort Bliss. I was so young and didnt know what was going on. To bad intellegence is wasted on the young.
I grew up listening to him.
@@user-gt4jz5ps8sYEp! Paul Harvey and Mike Royko.
In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1
:)
How can the word be God and THOUGHTS come before the word .. I'll wait silly rabbit
@@Mr-ms2qo The Bible tells us God exists as 3 separate beings. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is who came to be with mankind to teach us about God after Jesus was killed on the cross and resurrected. The Holy Spirit is “The Word of God” who was from the beginning and now lives among us to teach us about himself. This is also why we call the Bible, the “Word of God.” If you’re willing to listen, he will speak to you as well. “Be still and know that I am God.” - Psalms 46:10.
@@JT.common_sense I think the most applicable verse is John 14:6
I am the way, the truth, & the life. No one comes to the FATHER except through ME.
JESUS is the only way to Heaven [the FATHER], all the other religions do not lead to
Heaven but the Broadway to Hell. That is the offense of the Cross of CHRIST.
Paul Harvey is wrong in lumping Allah & all the other religions as the same way..
JESUS' peace HE offers is forgiveness of sins & a rebirth to be spiritually alive to
desire to please GOD again. Not something we can do without HIM as our KING
& constant SAVIOUR, because as we are we're #selfish which is the cause of our
quarrels per James 4:1-3: Why do you quarrel & fight? It is because your feelings
are fighting inside of you. You want something but you cannot get.
Amen 🔥 🙏🏻 ❤
Listen to Paul Harvey If I Was The Devil 1969. His vision is remarkable 🙏
:)
That's how I found this
Why was he hated?
He just told some who understand how many were in connection as a debatable whole situation. All the ones within,added to what else wrong on ..was it certain animosity or something else. Something else .
It was actually April 23 1965
Amen. 🙏 What a Great Man. Paul Harvey we Miss You 😢
I agree completely. :)
Thank you Lord for giving us the voice and wisdom of Paul Harvey.
:)
Thank You GOD for Everything You do for me in these 54 yrs
:)
Exactly; EVERYTHING! 🙌
❤
As a kid i remember listening to Paul Harvey..good day!!
:)
The devil is a lair! Jesus is King 🙏✝️❤️
Exactly. :)
Amen! 🙌
God is the Devil and Jesus is the liar. But this Harvey voice reading is spot on 😂❤❤❤
Truth, but this video is also fake. He gives credit to Bobby McFerrin for that don’t worry be happy song which is written 1988 yet this was supposed to be from 1965? That makes it a lie as well. maybe they meant it to be a good thing, but this isn’t real something somebody created later, probably recently
Exactly, this universalist and ecumenical speech does not come from God, it is corrupted by demonic doctrines, satanic concept and new world order, the system of the beast!
The name of God is sacred and important, and yes we have to be careful about how we pay reverence to God, not in any kinde of way and as we see fit.
John 14:6- ” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Unbelievably timeless wisdom
I agree completely. :)
I love listening to Paul Harvey speak. I imagine in 1965 people huddled around their radios or TVs hanging on to eveey word.
I'm sure they did. I wasn't around back then but I certainly hang onto every word now. :)
I was just started in 65 but born in 66. I enjoyed him a few years later but going back through some of his broadcasts is still fun.
Yes, we did hover by the radio when it was Paul Harvey time. You could hear apin drop at our house when he was on. He was truly a soothing and caring soul.
You're imagining correctly. We listened on our car radios and at home. In this short video he predicted the dystopian nightmare we would be living in here in the United States today. Paul Harvey was a visionary and a stellar human being.
We used to listen to him every day when I used to work at a golf course 11:30 everyday take off everyday at lunch and listen to him
I loved Paul Harvey!! I spent a lot of time with my paternal Grandmother. The radio was always tuned to our local station, at that time. I could hardly wait for Paul Harvey to be done with the Farm report so I could listen to his WORDS OF WISDOM!! I am 69 yrs old now and I truly miss Paul’s words of wisdom. 💕🙏🙏
I'm glad hearing this brought back fond memories of your grandmother. :)
I never got to hear him much as a young child but I remember being with grandma and grandpa and when at there house they had his program on the radio he was a wonderful man.we older all miss him.
I remember when our society was so full
Of compassion and tolerance for one another. Its was wholesome and so much simpler. In modern time like now it seems someone threw a giant prism into the light and it’s a struggle to find our way through. Trust in God; call out to Jesus, and we will find our way.
:)
This man was gifted and how profound and somehow ahead of his time. 🙏
He certainly was. :)
His faith and belief in the great “I AM” I would assume paralleled that of “knowing”, and in exchange was given at least one of the many gifts The Lord spoke about making available to us through the willing sacrifice of an innocent and perfect life
I love this!!! This is wonderful!! We still need to hear this today. It should be broadscast everywhere!!
I agree. :)
More than ever.
Yes
Cataracts is the 3rd biggest cause of blindness. Politics & Religion are the 1st two!
Hahahaha. :)
So well said.
Thanks, we all need to hear this!
:)
I remember Paul when I was about 16. I never really gave him the credit he was due. However today I really am astonished at his reality.
There will never be another one like him. :)
@@BradDisonSo true!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE 💚 🌱
I LOVE YOU JESUS HOLY SPIRIT GOD WITH ALL MY HEART ANEN 💙🙏💙THANK YOU PAUL HARVEY & GOD BLESS YOU 💙🙏💙
:)
❤❤❤ I can remember the very first time I heard this. My mother was in a fatal car wreck two years earlier and I was having a really hard time coping with it until I heard this. From that moment on, things have been a lot clearer for me. Thank you for sharing this so I could hear it again.❤❤❤
I'm glad you enjoyed listening. :)
Thank you for sharing.
LOVE ❤️ PAUL HARVEY ❤️ 💙 USED TO LISTEN TO HIM AT MY DADS HOUSE DURING LUNCH TIME , GREAT MEMORIES 👍 👌
One of my all time favorites❤
Mine too. :)
Paul Harvey was gifted with commonsense, logic. He was was a critical thinker. His ability to
think outside the box
is applaudable.
I miss him. That's why I just now subscribed to BG. I look forward to hearing more.🎯♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐾🐾
:)
Perhaps The Greatest Radio Personality In American History !!! Surely My Favorite !!! Paul Harvey Was Blessed By God With A True Gift !!! My Mothers Mother , My Grammy Glendye Introduced Me To Radio & Paul Harvey on WBZ A.M. 1030 IN BOSTON When I Was Just A Boy !!! My Grammy Was Brittish & So We'd Have Tea Time & Listen To Paul Harvey & Then The Weather With Don Kent !!! Still Listen To That Same Panasonic Radio I Once Listened To With My Grammy Back In 1975 !!!
He is my all time favorite radio personality for sure. Having tea time in Boston? Now that's a historical connection back to the beginning of our country. Very neat. One day I'm going to visit Boston. It's way up on my list of places to visit. :)
Remember listening to Paul Harvey with Dad. And his comments to the TV, great respect for Harvey.
:)
Always loved listening to Paul Harvey every day.i miss this so much ❤️
:)
I am 53 and paul harvey was on the radio everytime it was on seems like when i was a kid .man i miss him and listening to his voice .
I miss him too. :)
Same here Billy
Thank you, Brad, for putting this up. Thank you, Mr. Harvey, and please shake hands with God and tell him I am trying.
It certainly was a touching broadcast. :)
Nice 👍
Same here brother 🙏
🤗🔸🕊️
So am I everyday but still fall short!
I grew up listening to this guy. It's time to share him with a new generation. I will be incorporating his teachings and lessons with my boy as we home-school.
I agree completely. That's great about the homeschooling. :)
Your boy will become a good man.
Great message. Not one of us will ever know what jesus truly said until we pass.
:)
Paul Harvey is deceased now , but his wisdom turned my own father around .
:)
We had our probelms back then, but then it was a more moral, family time, not the mess of 2024.
:)
And where do you hear this wonderful message in today's world.... nowhere. Love and peace be with you and yours always !
:)
I remember listening to him years ago I like the WORD OF GOD he use to speak ❤️🙏
:)
I remember listening to Paul in the 1970's. Loved his 7AM and 12 Noon "The Rest of the Story" broadcasts on KABC 790 radio.
Never heard this one. I'm keeping it in my email.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Keep listening. I may have more you've not heard. :)
I always listened to Paul Harvey 7 am and 12 noon also. Then he was doing his Rest of the Story. I always wanted to have my wedding anniversary mentioned on his show but unfortunately we lost Paul Harvey just 30 years into our marriage. God bless you Paul Harvey.
I used to list to his show in my mom's car on the way to school
Truth be told This Guy was at another level ! Very cleverly done... Thank you Sir you are already amongst the Gods in Heaven ....
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
To bad we don’t have him any more. He only spoke truth. ❤
:)
This never gets old.
:)
This is an amazing piece. I remember listening to Paul Harvey since I was a kid in 60's and 70's. Even if I didn't completely agree with him I always found him to be a serious an independent thinker. I consider myself to be a person of but when I listen to this it does help remind me that all of our different religions are cubicles that we too often don't look over the dividers of. He also had a wonderful piece called God made a Dictator. The first 95% of that he talks about God making a dictator. At the very end, he says that God made that dictator to challenge us, to test our senses of decency. If ever we needed these inspirational words from Paul harvey, we need these words now more than ever!
It's okay that you didn't always agree with him. That means you are an independent thinker as well. Those are hard to come by these days. I think I have the "Dictator" episode in my collection. I'll see if I do and will upload it soon. You're right. We need inspirational words in the world today. There's so much negativity. :)
I love the line that I have never spoken to any of them, but come judgment day I will have what to say to them.
:)
Yes.
Wauw....I mean.. wauw... THIS, exactly THIS is what's missing in the world...
:)
He said it very well, we can have our beliefs but strive to get along. Nothing more.
That's right. We all have our beliefs which may differ only slightly or by a wide margin. We need to get along and love each other. :)
Something to think about...all religions can't logically be true when they disagree with each other. So yes, we should get along. But, truth is important
Maybe I'm missing his true message here... is this what you'd call a Satire?
You can believe what you want, (right or wrong) but do you Love? Can you show kindness to each other in spite of so many differences?
1st Corinthians 13
I disagree, I felt I learned from another persons perspective. I could challenge the Bible was written by intellectualists. If you study humans throughout history, and the migration patterns of humans, humans have been here a lot longer than the Bible. And they snuffed out paganism which actually ties into Christianity so much. But you don’t know unless you grant yourself your humanitarian right to challenge your own beliefs.
This man is one of the most important of all time, yet most have never heard his name by design a true sign of someone speaking the truth
Hopefully, more people will become aware of him because of this youtube channel. :)
@@BradDison I agree 100% thumbs up for posting all these he needs to be heard.
I am today .. I think I remember my parents DAUGHTER 🩷
@@BradDisonMI ME 💓
Omri. I remember 🎉
Such a great voice from the past
Oh yeah. He had a wonderful voice. :)
Yeah, all these wars fought in HIS name.........still makes me heavy in the heart, hanging my head....
It took me A VERY LONG TIME to realize I cannot change, nor stop this.
I can only change myself, and pray for the best!
I once posted, word for word (handwritten) "If I were the devil", pinned it up on the laundry room bulletin board, but they took it down. Expected, I guess. Do I dare post this? Thanks, Brad, for putting it in your pinned comment.
You're right. We can only change ourselves and try to steer our young in the right direction. :)
It's always been our responsibility to choose to live in His image or not. I believe my Covenant with God is to do all I possibly can as a human being and trust in God to do the impossible 🙏 ✨️ 🙌 ❤️
Awesome post.
Is that the egghead people I’ve heard about? Love him, but damn that’s a tall forehead
Thanks!
Oh wow. Thank you very much. This made my day. :)
Paul was a very honest man and we need more people like him and our country will be better than it is.😊 4:55
:)
Miss your wisdom Mr. Harvey. Words still true today 🙏✝️ God Bless 😊
:)
He was also a very loved man! There are still alot of good people on our planet and its time fir them to come together
I agree completely. :)
Absolutely precious! But I do believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Remember what Jesus said, "The Greatest Commandment is To Love God with all your heart, body, mind, and soul." And the second as important as the first, "Love your neighbor as yourself." And that's the most important of them all! God Bless you and your family Brad. Thanks for everything you do!
You're right. It all goes back to love. Love everyone. Forget about the petty differences. We are all humans. We have to share our little planet. God bless you too, my friend. :)
@BradDison very well said professor 👏! You're the best my friend.
@@martinpennock9430 :)
@@BradDisonthe greatest commandment LOVE!
@@BradDison This is not Biblical, if you are not a Christian - a disciple of Jesus Christ, I understand your ignorance, but if you declare yourself a Christian, repent of having created a concept that does not come from God.
It is correct that the great commandment is “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strenght.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’- Matthew 22:37-39.
However, this concept of “love” that you are spreading is false and ecumenical.
Scripture instructs us to love one another, but that does not mean that everything is acceptable and should be compromise.
1 John 2:15-17
”Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
James 4:4
“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
Amen Paul.. thank you for this message
:)
my afternoon drive time radio station in the late 80's and 90's played some Paul Harvey. I too came to respect and appreciate this man.
It's hard to beat listening to Mr. Harvey while on a long drive. :)
I was going to edit the first comment, but, meh, no law broken here. Holding the torch high for all to see and passing it forward is noblest thing one can do in life. Thank you, Mr. Harvey. Thank you, Mr. Dison. When history teacher's in high school start assigning you for homework, we (YOU) will really have something happening!!!!
No need to edit your comment. It sounded great to me. It's interesting to know that the way we believe is passed on to the next generation as it was between us and our parents, them and their parents, and back through the generations. If we break that link and fail to pass it on to the next generation, it could take generations to right itself. :)
Many cults, one God😢
:)
I want to try listen to this everyday at least once .. just to remind me, God bless and thank you 🙏This transcends across all faiths and beliefs 🙏
It is a powerful piece. I'm glad you enjoyed listening and found it meaningful. :)
Thank you for sharing this video
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Beautifully written and spoken.
Mr. Harvey was certainly gifted. :)
I miss Paul Harvey and Rush Limbaugh. I used to listen to them everyday at work. It made those three hours go by very fast.
I miss Mr. Harvey as well. I didn't listen to Rush much.
Rush was a piece of shit and the absolute opposite of an intellectual like this
I miss Paul and Rush Limbaugh so much...Listened every day
You and me!
Sorry to tell you but Rush Limbaugh was no were close to Paul Harvey was not a mean spirited person like rush was 😮
Amen Glory be to God
:)
Thank you for sharing our Father and our Mother letter with me I'll read it over and over again and again 😢❤
:)
Thank you for this 😊❤🙏💝 I needed this 😊❤🙏💝 And So it is 💝
Is it bad I still miss hearing this man on the radio?
You're among friends here. We all miss hearing his voice. :)
Absolutely terrific.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
My fondus memory of Paul, was the story of a elementary school losing power and the kids had lunch, and one boy stated that it was the first time they had an actual home cooked meal at school. Nothing like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I've got to see if I have that one in my collection. :)
Only God could have said it better. Wene I was a little man I hung with my dad I'd go to work with him,lunch time came and it was always Paul Harvey. Good day
:)
Wonderful n so beautiful words
...as only he could do. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
This is my favorite piece on religion. His Dad, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather were Baptist Preachers...but Paul thought outside the box. Where you are born will highly influence what religion you connect with. God wants us to play nice, whatever you embrace..just learn to respect other religions. Well done Sir! Your writing is unmatched in my eyes.
:)
Yes God bless you for putting that up I needed to hear this I grew up with Paul Harvey too everyone loved him and this is why
We all need to hear it. I'm glad hearing this brought back fond memories. :)
Thank you for this. I needed to hear it. 🤗
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
This is brilliant! I could listen to him all day.
:)
this needs more thumbs up, it should be in the millions if not infinity as our Father (Creator) is
I gave your comment a thumbs up. :)
@@BradDison thank you
@BradDison I like history as well Brad. Do you by any chance know about family crest dated back in Louisiana?
Words had traveled through time. Vibration of voice is felt, words spoken is validation. Related to our present. Heart written aid no question its the way.
I love you all
:)
I couldn’t agree more Mr. Harvey! Now I know “ The rest of the story”.
:)
Oh Father forgive us what have we done.
Absolutely!!! And for what we continue to do.
Please let us love each other, despite our liturgy.
:)
Love 💕 and light to all ❤ 😊
:)
Pretty spot on.
:)
Thanks for sharing this.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Love Paul Harvey and always will he's gone but not forgotten he spoke about God he's just telling you what God is wanting you to do just love each other
:)
Amen, I love this.
:)
Pure 💎 Paul Harvey was the original podcast.
He was amazing. :)
God is is with in us
:)
Praise the Lord for Paul Harvey! 🙏🙏🙏
:)
I loved listening to Paul Harvey, a very gifted man.
:)
I do miss listening to him on the radio, he reported it like it was.
That is a rare thing these days. :)
Thank you ❤
Thank you too. :)
❤❤❤❤ Listened to Paul Harvey for years.....miss him dearly!
I did too and do too. :)
I love you Father my true ❤love❤!
:)
Love is the answer. Not religion. Love.
:)
Love this one
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
I heard this when he first read it, years ago, I would listen to him every day 😊
:)
Yes i miss him and his commentary!!!!! These should ve re aired every day at noon ❤💪🙏✅👌
I agree. :)
I disagree with a lot of you. Love the Creator, love people, love animals and the creation and preserve and help it all if you can do that then the rest doesn’t matter
:)
I disagree on one point. The only thing that matters is that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins. Past, present and future. If you believe that and you declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, you are saved and will enjoy eternity in heaven
I'm glad that I am not the only one that has a problem with this letter
We're all allowed to have and to share our opinions. I choose to keep my personal beliefs to myself. :)
@@BradDison
Yes, and come Judgment Day all knees will bow before Jesus the One True God.
I do not say you cannot have your own personal beliefs.
What I say is that it is written we are to spread the gospel and take up our Cross as Jesus did and that we are saved not by works but by grace.
If that is turned away from and discarded and the belief that we just need to love each other to have salvation, then God gave us free will.
Believe as you will. It is your free will. I have no right to coerce you.
God bless you ✝️🙏
Anyone who is Born Again has a problem with this letter. It's actually a letter from slugsworth slewfoot.
I remember listening to him on the radio when I was a kid. In the 80s we only had regular AM/FM radio, so you had no choice but to listen to commercials, and listen to the stuff your parents/grandparents/aunts or uncles would be listening to for the most part. We weren’t allowed to change the station in the car, or the kitchen, or the family room etc. I remember Paul Harvey used to come on everyday at noon, to tell “the rest of the story”… even at a young age I found his stories very interesting and thought provoking. He was truly a national treasure ❤
I agree completely. I remember the am/fm years the same way. :)
I always liked listening to him!❤
Me too. :)
I always liked to study history. but not once have I ever read where God started a war.
I wonder if he meant that wars were started in His name? For example, the Crusades, Seven Years' War, etc.
Luv / Torah all about that.
Mankind is consumed with being an independent pioneer of living in all thr ways he himself see fit, and easily loses sight of the fact that even though mannis Created creation of God , God made a gentleman move, and freely has given man a free will of life and moral agency. When man finds himself overextended in despair, the first thought he goes to is, why God why! Go's gets a whole lots of undeserved credit. That and the devil. People lend way too much credit to the enemy ofbyiur soul, when the title real title of the story is always the same, I am man, I am a sinful being who regularly is disobedient and often place Gid not first but down file, until stuff gets tight, then you know, I keep him around some. If we are gonna be honest, God doesn't have a problem, because to qualify to be God, requires flawless perfection, and man forgets he is the imperfect one, and is quick to roll it off onto who else? God.
Man is in need, every breath drawn, ever waking day, every physical need, can't be met without Mercy of the Creator. We gripe at weather, and who's president, and often overlook the miracles not only let us see tomorrow, but thr eternal life available that is made possible only because His Son took up the Cross and bore the sins we can't, if that nit a father's love, there is none greater, and even so those who scoff and mock, still he allows time to breathe his very air, fir a season to come to realization of precious life is and the cost of it
@BradDison historians of the world that usually lean on the evolution/ darwinian theories are where it originated the popularity of associating conflict/famine/ poverish people's left destitute from war torn areas, most often are blamed on conflicts of interest on the name of God, or the carrying out of misunderstanding the situations that are commonly seen as on the Bible as it concerns God's people descendants of Abraham. Basically it's a worldly misuse of shifting blame onto a God who is love. What these people don't understand is that God is Love, mankind is not, man is selfish, and greedy, and on his own account walks outside of obedience to God and commits the atrocities of trespass against his brother, and it's viewed as an easy way for the world to dismiss and give reason to continue his wicked wreckless path of madness unchecked and act as the enemy who lives to steer as many astray as possible
