      @NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN 233 comments and counting. Why do you spend your precious time mocking the God you don't believe exists? Shouldn't you have an eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die mentality rather than rail against God and those who believe? Better yet, come to know Him for yourself.

      What a sad means of existence you've carved out for yourself; Triggering Christians. At best you crave the attention, at worst the demons inside you rage. How do you interact in real life with Christians face to face? Do you make bizarre, twisted, insulting statements out of the blue like here? Why live your precious life as a fraudulent atheistic waste of time? Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you will die. If you remain as you are, you will have all eternity to ponder just how wrong and pathetic your comments are. Grow up, rage in private rather than display your ignorant idiocy to the world. You don't want to risk having many people praying for you, God might change your cold, dead and hard heart and give you what you don't deserve...eternal life with Him.

    Come soon Lord! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!

    When we absorb how God is a father, we have an example to strive to. When we think of Christ and the church, we understand mortal marriage more appropriately. God gives us a spiritual template for our earthly lives.

    I am a Catholic (some of our beliefs are not exactly the same as those of John Piper. But dear GOD! What a clear thinker - and winning preacher - John Piper is! He gets to the point. Jesus wasn't just talking to the people of HIS time - nor, indeed, to the people of our parents' generation, many of whom strongly believed in the value of corporal punishment. And the need to withhold compliments. All those things our parents did - and didn't do for us - make us the parents (and grand-parents) that WE are. So we try HARD not to repeat the mistakes (as we see them) that our parents made. Yeah. We don't make the misrtakes THEY made - we make the mistakes they DIDN'T make. 😞 Think of it. It is only now i realise the mistakes i made while rearing my children... While i see my children making mistakes that i was so careful (as i thought!) to AVOID making. And now i thinki finally grasp what Jesus meant when He said -
    "if you - who are evil - know how to give your children good things, how much BETTER are the things that your Father in Heaven - who is All-Good - can give!!
    Blessed be God. Mary

      There is no power in Mary, only Christ. Mary is not divine and cannot hear your prayers. I say that brutally and honestly. It is blasphemous to put Mary on any type of authority. Jesus Christ is Lord and God is the only one who can hear our prayers. Mary was a sinner just like me and you and she was just a woman, same as Paul was just a man. God bless you, I hope you understand this truth. The catholic faith is much different than the Christian faith because it is not the same faith. Faith alone in Christ alone, worship alone of Christ alone. Saints are just weak people of a great and merciful God. Nobody is great nor good but God.

    I am a pastors kid. My father is the *Stone* and *Serpent* father referenced in *(Matthew 7:9-10)* My father gave the bread and fish to his church members and gave my mother and us the stone and the serpent. He is the *epitome* of one who washed the outside of the cup and left the inside *dirty!* He is one of the main reasons (if not the reason) my sibs are not in a relationship with God. You get to the point where you reject your father and his God, but the children still (as per normal) get blamed as being rebellious.
    Every child wants a relationship with their parents, and your first representation of God is your father, and when your father shows no interest in you, but is so caught up with his church and the members children, how are you to receive God, much more God as your Father from him? *You do not. You don’t believe what he says to you about God. You believe how he acts towards you. You believe God is like him.* And now even after all these years not one of us his children, has a relationship with him as adults, although I have tried and continue trying to. Not even God however, can have a relationship with a person who doesn't want one with Him. It's hurtful to hear disparaging comments made about your sibs by their own father, when some of their issues stem from his neglect of them, yet he can speak in glowing terms about others he has spent time cultivating relationships with, and will even call them his "son's." He will also often state how he can call one of his church members to assist him for whatever he needs. The way he speaks to and treated us however, is not the manner in which he interacts with members of his church. We often have to discontinue direct communication with him because of this. Not one of us his children, have ever heard our father say that he loves us. Yet in recent months, I have heard him express his love to his church members and even an unrelated family member. I hate to say it, but my father is a horrible, ignorant man, who is not saved. I can only imagine how he would have treated me, had I committed an *"unpardonable sin"* and brought *"shame"* to his name...
    The amazing thing is that the church people don’t realize that the way he treats them, is not the way he treats you at home, and they don’t understand why some of us backslide. Many Saints are also quick to make disparaging and judgemental comments about Pastors kids, but no one investigates why you rebelled. The scripture, *”And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath; but bring them up in them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord"* *Ephesians 6:4* is real and something I have lived and am living with. I have a very wrathful and hard heart heart towards my father and am constantly asking the God to soften it and let love cover. That’s a major work in process, but I will not go to hell for this man or his “sons.” I was headed down destruction broad road at one point because of him, but God who is rich in mercy intervened and allowed me to understand He is not like my earthly father and that’s enough for me. The Saints who don't live with the Pastor do not grasp that the person in the pulpit is not the same person behind closed doors, (we’ll have a deliverance service for those of you reading this who can't handle that truth!) but you the Pastor's picney live with and have to contend with that nasty *dichotomy* on a daily basis. They just think, as one individual asserted to me, “your father is a wonderful man” I didn't even answer that statement, because I would have asked them, wonderful to who?
    I've heard about the hardships that people without father's face and I can relate to that because even though I lived with a man who is my father he was not a father to me or my sibs and at this time it’s kind of too late, because none of us need or want him now. To me, he is just the money I am waiting to receive when he dies so I can purchase a house and expand the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That was *his* choice. I would say that there is often a knife in my chest because of this man. I’m grateful to God who continues to work with me through my Spiritual father (who treats me like a daughter) and helps me get through this, and I am so grateful to Him for all that He has done and is doing through His servant on my behalf.
    *May I be a good return on that investment.*
    I am only in a relationship with God as my Heavenly Father, Lord and Savior, because much prayers and fastings were made for me by mother and now I am able to distinguish between my Heavenly Father from the other so called one. *When he (God forbid) dies I will not mourn him.* I suppose I will be sad, but what was there to mourn? There was no relationship. I think I will mourn what we could have had as a family and *still* want to have while he is yet alive. I doubt he will make it, although many will put him up in heaven. How he is going to explain the neglect and rejection of his wife and children to God? I do not know and I would not like to be in his shoes.
    God gave three him souls to cultivate into a relationship with him first as a father, and then God as our ultimate and Heavanly Father, but he did neither. I understand parents aren't perfect and things happen, but this was the *complete* and *utter neglect* and *rejection of his family for the church.* I continue to pray for him, my siblings and my mother (bless her heart) and that God will help me by His grace assisting me to enact *1 Corinthians 13* in regards to him, and in doing so please my Heavenly Daddy, who I *KNOW* loves me with a *fierce* AND *protective, tender* love. He is my *Abba* 🇨🇦

      I'm sorry for your hurt and the damage inflicted by your narcissistic father, who doesn't come anywhere close to being a representation of our heavenly father. Satan has used him to attempt to keep you from your true Heavenly Father because he knows that Gid has a purpose for your life. I pray that God will heal your wounds, abd help you to see the tremendous love that He has for you! You are loved!

    "How Much Better Than Any Earthly Father Is Our Heavenly Father?"
    Hmmm...kind Sir...This is my take...I could be wrong. But all others could be wrong too...
    So, I believe: There is ONLY one "Father". Thus God (who IS Jesus now*) had 3 "Manifestations" of Himself:
    1. The "Father", 2. The "Son" and 3. The "Holy Spirit". IE:
    1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh (Jesus), justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was within God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh (Jesus), and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
    John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
    Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
    End of Story; with one caveat kind Sir: We have a "Trinity" too; and it's an "Image" of God who is named Jesus, now. "Yeshua" in Hebrew; before the 1st Covenant was destroyed in 70 AD; where before; the angel of God said to Joseph (then Mary)...
    * Matthew 1:21 ...and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
    Thus, the Image is...
    1. Our "Heart", 2. Our "Soul" and 3. Our "Mind". And that is why Jesus (who IS God) said we are an "image" Of God; who was named "YHWH" first; and 2,000 yrs later; changed to "Yeshua" (Jesus in "English")...
    Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
    (And there is NO other living creature; that has never been an "image" of Jesus/God!)
    I rest me Case Brethren. Praise Jesus' Holy Name. And may He bless you and yours always. AMEN!

    "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
    When a well packaged web of lies has been sold gradually through time to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.
    It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.
    No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.
    This truth will free you to seek for the Living God in the Spirit and to truly KNOW GOD instead of just knowing ABOUT HIM.
    The GOSPEL is NOT written with ink, nor on tablets of stone, but on our hearts by the Spirit of the Living God.
    The gentiles who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, then they are a law unto themselves.
    Under the New Covenant we are to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the bible.
    I was searching for truth when Jesus told me, "The bible is an idol" which completely changed my direction. After that I only sought for Him in the Spirit and He has taught me many things on life's journey.
    The most important of which is that He died so we could be regenerated by the Holy Spirit into sons and daughters of God.
    The gospel is simple, repent from living after the flesh, ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit and then be led and controlled by Him through the Spirit.
    The bible is only history and has absolutely no authority from God to control us, the outward law was under the old covenant. Jesus died to redeem us from the curse of the written law because we were unable to keep it.
    Have a great journey through life with the Living Christ guiding you.
    When Jesus words are written down and Satan is using them, then the bible becomes the word of Satan.
    Constantine (1st) beast compiled 50 bibles, legalized Christianity and set up the false prophet (pope).
    King James (2nd) beast, born 6/1566, 6th of Scotland, authorized a bible in 1611 that now has 66 books to control people with, an image of God's word they make to speak (the bible says).
    By having faith in the bible which has been made into an idol, they break the new covenant of having faith in the Living Christ through the Holy Spirit, who is the true word of God.
    THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST
    Ask Jesus -Yeshua for the Holy Spirit.
