- How good do you have to be to get into heaven? This clip can be downloaded at www.worshiphousemedia.com.
This video was originally made to counter the common belief that 'being good' gets you into heaven. The Bible is clear that faith in Christ (not good works) is how we receive the gift of eternal life. However, this subject always brings up a very old and valid argument of the importance of faith vs. works. You can actually read a biblical author wrestle with the subject in the book of James.
I love what C.S. Lewis has to say about it. He said that arguing over which is more important (faith or works) is like arguing about which blade in a pair of scissors is more vital. Without both blades, the scissors do not function as scissors. You need both. And the same is true in the Christian faith. Here's a great summation from 1 John: 4-6 MSG
"If someone claims, "I know him well!" but doesn't keep his commandments, he's obviously a liar. His life doesn't match his words.5 But the one who keeps God's word is the person in whom we see God's mature love. This is the only way to be sure we're in God.6 Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived."
We are not saved by living a good life, but someone who has genuinely received the grace and love of Christ should slowly but surely become more like Him.
This video was never intended to address the entire question of Biblical Salvation. It was simply meant to correct one common misconception. Hopefully, theses comments will shed light the other error, that works do not matter either. - บันเทิง
I love how Jesus is the most laid back guy in this skit.
I'd be pretty laid back too if I got to rule the universe while hundreds of millions of sycophants worshipped me so as to avoid being tortured forever in hell.
@faith grace How is the moral status of someone changed by the torture of another? How are the guilty redeemed by the murder of an innocent? How is guilt transferable? It is the height of absurdity and indecency. Scapegoat theology... it's about as sick and twisted an idea ever to poison the mind of man. That's Christianity for you.
@faith grace Stupid analogy that only increases my disgust. Wrong on so many levels no the least of which is you're both lying to your parents. Also who says whipping anyone is appropriate?
Why not bring that into out justice system? If a man commits murder lets send the wrong man to jail for life or execute the wrong person. The premise being that it doesn't matter who gets punished as long as someone gets punished. That is fucked beyond reason. Why would a god be satisfied if the wrong person is punished? Guilt is not transferable. Your religion is vile... and contemptible.
@faith grace Yep, we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves, not of works:
Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 2:9 - Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Keep preaching the word!
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me!
@waterside 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which ARE SAVED it is the power of God.
@waterside - We were dead once, but when we placed our faith in Jesus Christ we were made alive. And we shall live forevermore with Jesus Christ in Heaven. As one poster puts it. For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH and that NOT of YOURSELVES it is the GIFT OF GOD. NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast. What you people don't understand is that Salvation is a gift and not a Reward. You are treating Salvation as a Reward as something that you deserve. And we (including me) don't deserve. Because we all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23. There is nothing that we can do that will be 'good enough' to get us into Heaven. Going to Heaven is not about what we do for Jesus, it's about what Jesus has done for us!
Absolutely
But he saved you from the Hell he created. That's like thanking someone for not murdering you.
@@cypherpunk12 but the thing is, i deserve to go the Hell. I’ve broken God’s laws, and the punishment for that is Hell. The wonderful thing is, God knew that I couldn’t live the sinless life necessary to go to Heaven, so He came down to earth in the form of a man, lived the sinless life I couldn’t, and sacrificed Himself on the cross to pay for my sins, so now I get to go to Heaven when I die instead of Hell. You can go to Heaven too! All you have to do is pray to Jesus and admit that you are a sinner who deserves to go to Hell, and ask Him to save you. Then you will become born again, Jesus Himself will live inside you in the person of the Holy Spirit, and you will have an unbreakable reservation in Heaven. God made it just that easy because He loves us and wants to save us.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" (Ephesians 2:8)

No one is perfect. One sin (and we all have plenty of sins) is enough to keep you out of heaven. Without Jesus, you're not getting in. Period.
I'm afraid to ask this, but why?
***** I'm afraid to ask this, but why?
wow, you have so many things wrong that i literally wouldn't know where to start. you'll feel different about things soon enough.
i'm not self righteous. i'm not deserving. i'm a sinner like everyone else. i'm saved only by His grace and mercy. the 'deal' with Jesus is eternal life or eternal hell. if that's a tough decision for you, then you're the one with the ego, not me.
***** You're sending yourself there. God is holy, He's perfect, He's sovereign. You've sinned. Doing so, you're sending yourself there by paying the price that you cannot pay. Or, you can let Jesus pay for it, which He already did. It's your call, not His. God wouldn't be very holy if he let a bunch of sinners into heaven to ruin it like we have on earth.
"I was baptised as a baby?" Lol
Best line ever.
I think I've seen this 30 times. I love it every time! Too funny and too wonderful. : )
ikr I can relate to every excuse and their reaction of why they should be let into heaven how it perfectly lines up with Gods word of grace :)
I'm glad Christ will be there to stand on the good o meter with me.
Best video explaining what He did for us I have ever seen! So powerful!!!!
You still misunderstand and the reason is because most of the people who say they are follower of Jesus are not. The is a transformation when a person truly accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior. He stated "that you will know them by their fruit"
So in this man's case if he truly repented then yes he will be saved. That's why only God can judge us and our heart. I don't know if he was saved only God knows and the man who asked to be forgiven.
I know I am forgiven and I ask to be forgiven daily because even though I am saved my flesh does get the better of me. It's an on going daily battle.
If you truly want to go on a journey to discover if the Creator I believe in Jesus is the one and only true God then start where I started. Check out Chuck Missler Prophecy 101. It totally opened the door for me to believe with no doubt the Jesus is the Savior and everything in the Bible is true and has NO MISTAKES.
I really hope you do. You sound like you are hurting and looking for answers. So I pray you have a God encounter like I did. Praying for you.
I tear up every time I see this video...I am forever thankful for God's grace and mercy.
LOL
Literally crying in rejoicing. Thank you Jesus!!!
@G C C M lol
@G C C M lmao i smell angry commenter with a hint of r/antivax

Thank you Jesus
AMEN!
This video actually helped me recover my lost faith. I saw this video around afternoon and I felt something weird. Before going to sleep while brushing my teeth, something broke in me and I just started crying. I realized how much of a loving creature Jesus is and I felt like my relationship with him actually became alive and I just felt so happy. I’m actually so thankful for the existence of this video.
I ALMOST CRIED WHEN JESUS CAME OUT AND STEPPED ON THE SCALE!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
its not what we do to get into heaven, its what Christ did! we set our hope on Him not ourselves. only Jesus can save us not ourselves. i cant stressed this enough
+Mandy Good Yea. Exactly. Fuck a moral/criminal/civil code. Be busy and you will be In a heaven. Be good, pay taxes, support poor people and go to a hell !
+Msc John Doe God loves you and wants you to love Him but true love cannot be forced. He gave us free will so that we can make our own decisions. I for one choose Gods son Jesus as my savior. I know Id be helpless otherwise. It's only through Jesus that I have any hope. It only takes 1 sin to become seperated from God. It takes Jesus to become reunited with God. There is no other way. You cannot become saved through your own effort.
+Msc John Doe "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" John 14:6. The ONLY way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. Good works will never make atonement for our sins, that's why we are only saved by grace. When you know Jesus Christ personally he works inside of you and changes you inside and out. You don't do good works because you're obligated, you do it because Jesus compels us to WANT to. It comes natural to do the right things once you know Jesus.
+Benjamin Benkert If God truly loved me, he wouldn't have made me an Atheist.
I can’t stressed this enough
Bad grammar, you have!
I cry every time I watch this! God's grace is indeed amazing!
This skit made me feel so warm and fuzzy and so grateful for Jesus' love and grace
true christians will love this video. atheists and agnostics and other non christians will simply see it as satire
I'm muslim and i see nothing wrong about it ! Soooo ?
Neohybrid Kai duh of course it's similar we literally worshipping the same god Jesus is prophet Isa in Islam
I'm nonreligious and this is perfectly fine. Stop being stereotypical..
Nobody cares Michael
Michael Hauser I believe in God, Jesus and Maria, and I still have a hard time trying to process this. I understand why the “Good Samaritan” does not enter the Heaven, but I don’t get how the last man could pass.
(For those who don’t understand “Good Samaritan”, is just something we tell where I live to say “people who could be or is a saint”. If someone get hurt by that, I’m sorry)
This video speaks to me. Praise Jesus in His glory and I thank Him for His Mercy and Grace. May Christ be with us all. Amen
Thank God for His Grace, We would all be in a very bad place, if it wasn't for that.
It is not for what we have done, it is through the blood of Jesus, a lamb without blemish! It is through His righteousness! Not of ourselves, it is a gift from God!
I totally love this! I'm a Christian myself but it's still comforting to watch it. We can never be reminded too many times of our need for Jesus and His grace for us.
THIS IS SO GOOD VIDEO NEVER GET TIRE OF WATCHING IT GOD BLEES ALL...
This video post on TH-cam when i was a 7 yrsold lil boi and now I'm 21 years old and I'm watching this rn 😊
Youth Pastor showed me and everyone in our youth class this video and it’s stayed with me forever
I love my God. Everything he does is amazing and wonderful!
OOoh I cant wait to meet Jesus!!! :')
Grace is grace. It can't be explained, it can't be understood. Amazing grace.
+Adalberto Modes Redardnes. Guy who helped in Africa was punished. And a guy who "been busy" went to a heaven.
+Msc John Doe and, once again, that's grace. It cannot be explained, it cannot be understood. GRACE, o amazing grace!
+Msc John Doe no one was punished. Everyone sins and therefore is not good enough. One guy made the choice to accept grace from Jesus the others denied him. The gift of grace is for everyone but God will not force you to accept Him. He won't force to spend eternity with Him if you dont want to. Hell is a place absent of Gods love, healing and grace. It is a place of choice where those that deny Jesus can live out their eternity without Him. Unfortunately many people don't accept that God is good and offers grace through Jesus. My heart aches for those that choose eternal seperation from such a loving and giving God.
if grace can't be explained nor understood, how do you know that this is an example of it?
+Benjamin Benkert If I have to make a choice to spend eternity with people that generally tried to live a good life, maybe made some mistakes but for the most part were good people or people that have "been busy" but accepted the grace from some guy who is willing to cast away a good man who spent his whole life helping others and his only problem was having a subscription to an adult magazine and lying about only reading the articles, I'm going to pick the former group because that guy who demands you accept his grace sounds like he likes hanging out with assholes and is probably one himself.
Cute! Well Done, especially the ending where Jesus stands in our place on the scales. Very effective demonstration of salvation only by the blood of Jesus. The script was also well written in the part where everyone else was saying "Not Fair!" - again, showing that we can't get in without help - although man continually tries to do it by himself.
This is the first time I have seen this, but I hope Central Films has more of these type videos!
Sometimes the simplest of examples are the most profound. Thank you for posting the Truth and May God Bless you for serving Him in Spirit and in Truth.
Amen!
I've always loved this video! Makes me tear up at the end every time!
Why? Because the bad guy gets rewarded through nepotism? While a loot of good people get to burn forever?
@ Mary, "Why? Because the bad guy gets rewarded through nepotism? While a loot of good people get to burn forever?" * A big wrong here Mary*
Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.
Romans 3:12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.”
Mary, you must be Born from above. Seek JESUS, Wise man still do. When you are Born-Again, the righteousness of JESUS, is imputed to you. And your sinfulness is imputed to JESUS. when that happens, the wrath of God is off of you.
You see, people like you who are dumb and blinded by lies are the reason humanity is what it is today
That's what we call "grace"
:)
Dude......Thank you so much. You're the only person who answers this questioin in a satisfactory way after i waited for 3 months or something.... i needed this for a little play at my church. Thanks.
Love this movie. It's so simple and we keep missing it's beautiful truth. Grace!
Thank you for this message of humility and grace.

We use this video for our youth all the time, haha! It describes salvation so well. Thanks!
So simple yet so powerful
People just don't understand even when it's written in blood in the bible. YOU ARE FORGIVEN. By the blood of Jesus Christ himself, you are forgiven. God is perfect, he knows humans would and will sin. He knew Jesus would spill his blood for us, he knew that the blood of the lamb wouldn't be enough.
He wants faith, he wants you to truly whole heartedly believe in his son for what he did. Faith means to believe, even with absolutely no evidence whatsoever that it's there, but to believe anyways, to maintain hope. If you do that, you can be forgiven. Jesus himself spoke to scared sinners who were afraid of death and punishment for the sins. He looked at them and said "I can assure you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are making it into the kingdom."
Do not fear being a sinner, but fear not owning up to your sins, fear not believing in the messiah, fear not the man who kills the body, but he who can kill the soul. Jesus even spoke about eating and drinking in the vineyards among us forgiven sinners. Try to live a righteous life the best you can, but if you mess up, you are forgiven, but don't deny it, don't try to hide it or push it away, admit to it. It's like the justice system today, those who admit their crimes right off the bat are given lighter sentences, those who keep hiding and hiding it not owning up to it are punished more severely.
And make sure to actually read the bible. Don't have the time to? Try audio books, try movies, but learn and understand the word of God and you'll realize more than you could have ever possibly imagined.
Woah, a Christian!
This comment is everything. I struggle with addictions and I do love God, I do wanna serve Him and Him alone. But I feel bad when I sin and it's comments like this and videos like this that helps me out, I've cut back on addictions alot and even tho I still fail sometimes I know I am saved by GRACE through FAITH (Ephesians 2:8), we are not saved by our works, but by His works and His grace. Glory be to God in Heaven for loving us unconditionally when we don't deserve it. Please help me stop sinning but thank you so much for loving and forgiving me even when I fail you Lord in Heaven, your greater than all, you are the great "I Am" in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
This shares the Gospel perfectly.
Freaking brilliant. Tellin' it like it actually is!
By his GRACE
This is a great way to show grace!
Absolutely amazing! Jesus Christ is Great! 🇺🇲❤️
I love love love this video! Very brilliant! I feel like clapping my hands each time I see Jesus appear and stand on the scale!
Thank you Jesus! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And thank you for this video! 👍
God bless you all! 😊
For by Grace are ye saved through Faith and doth not of yourselves, It is the Gift of GOD..Not of works lest any man should boast! - Ephesians 2:8-9
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law ( good works/following the law) for by the works of the law shall no flesh (man/sinner) be justified (saved) - Galatians 2:16
What about mat 25:23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' The two seemingly contradicting verses have to be rectified. You are not justified by works/doing God's instructions, but you are expected to bear good fruit on this earth - this shows your faith in him. The Grace stuff has been perverted and doesn't tell the whole story. Use the modern day understanding of a 'Grace Period' on paying your insurance premiums - in this context you are alotted a time of grace, but you are expected to make things right during that period. God expects you to start cleaning up your act after you begin following him. it has to be this way, if not then why would christians be a light, how would they be set apart, how would they be a light to the nations. I feel your comment is without context and misleading to the sheep, along with this youtube video.
jplay35 You are not correct, I’m afraid. That verse refers to ETERNAL REWARDS that come AFTER salvation. Salvation itself is NOT a reward for good works in ANY capacity. Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 4:4-5, Romans 9:16.
who the heck disliked this video? It's GENIUS!
The only reason i could give to disliking this video would be that it depicts an image of Jesus, which the Bible says not to do. Other than that it's good.
@@tacky4237 the Bible only says to not worship idols, which can include religious images and iconography. But there is no passage that says that depicting Jesus on a basic level for whatever reason is a sin.

@@TheUglyGnome please dummy the law won't save you because we never kept it perfectly
@@TheUglyGnome Without Repentance salvation is impossible, faith itself is not words but actions so any one who does actions that contradict his faith then that means they don't believe in the first place
A lot of people seem to have trouble grasping the concept of this video. This video says no matter how hard we try to do right we won't get to heaven without God's grace. Arrogant people are the ones who try to fix their mistakes instead of accepting them. The man at the end with everything he did wrong got saved because he admitted he couldn't be saved on his own. He stopped trying to make up for everything he'd done. The bible says,"Our righteousness is filthy rags." Paul said,"The wrong I don't want to do I do, and the right I want to do I don't. Who will deliver me from this body of death?" Us trying to do right will not profit us anything. If we believe Jesus died on the cross for all sins past, present, and future in our heart and confess with our mouth God rose Jesus from the dead, then by his Grace our sins are forgiven.
Don't be down on filthy rags. They can be very useful when you need them.
socksumi Not for salvation though.
By that logic heaven is a membership club and a vile one at that good people won’t be able to Rest In Peace until they pay the membership fee
Of faith
Love this video, it really puts things in perspective. I especially like the guy's comment "That's why its called Grace" Great job!!
i loved this video
I love this :) so true.
i showed it to my mom!!
This video makes me cry every single time. I LOVE Jesus with all my heart and I always will.
Great great great vid!! Brought some tears to my eyes
No one is moral enough to get to heaven. Neither is anyone so bad Jesus can't save them from hell. As we've ALL failed miserably He alone is our only hope. Believe this and you go to heaven. Scoff at it and you'll burn, it's that simple.
Micki1958 well you don’t the truth of world
So you can kill 1000 people but pray everyday and you’ll go to heaven
Christian Puentes you’re an idiot
By the grace of Benjamin Franklin I shall bribe my way out of every sin
This exemplifies what grace is... getting what we don't deserve because Jesus took the punishment we do deserve.

Substitutional atonement is the height of absurdity. A man's moral stature is not determined by actions of another, nor are the sins of the guilty redeemed by the torture/murder of an innocent.

I use this in ministry all the time. A truly brilliant video in perfect truth. Thanks again for posting. :)
WOW, thats grace :)
Beuatifuuuuul! 😭😭😭
This is a great video! thanks for posting :) God Bless.
I’ve been looking for this clip for years… my pastor played it during a service one weekend, years ago, and I’ve been trying to find it since.
It’s a great visualization of how grace through faith works.
ppl say this is wrong...the point is we all sin we mess up but striving for the gates everyday is how we get in. accept christ and work your salvation with fear and trembling. the guy knew he had a bad record and he tried to live the best life. Christ replaces our bad record with his we must have christ to get in.
saviron hipps how to you get Christ to get in with you? Just by believing?
believing is one. the bible says even satan believes and trembles. once you accept christ you get a relationship with him getting to know the Lord. doing all you can living according to his word and repenting. Christianity is not a religion is a relationship. once you accept christ let him be your Lord and your everything.
he knows we mess up but he still loves us. he wants us to turn from sin and be holy. stay on the straight and narrow path to get to the gates. it's not easy but its worth it.
"we must have christ to get in."
John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
Why ? we are DEAD in out sin and trespasses. Ephesians 2:1-3
Amen brother we must have christ but we also must stay right with the Lord as well.
God does not "send" you to hell for this or that reason... He simply will not let you in His house if you do not accept that He handed over His Son for your sinful nature. It's like owing a lot of money that you don't have and an amazing, generous person comes along and says, "l'll pay off your debt for you." If for some foolish reason you say, "No thanks," you are still going to have to pay. Or think of it this way, you have committed a crime that requires the death sentence and miraculously someone steps forward and says, "I'll take his place. Let him live and take me instead."
Why would you say, "No thanks"? Know Jesus, know peace. No Jesus, no peace. Because there is no love in this world, we cannot fathom the depth and height of His love.
Jesus said "I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!" (Luke 12:5)
(Revelation 20:5)
"Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."
If that's the case why evangelise? if that's the case then preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the worst thing you can do to someone.
@Empty The Trash And what about those who never heard?
@Empty The Trash Absolutely, but why do you believe that and why the need to comment your view in the first place?
@Empty The Trash I just mean I don't see the relevancy
Thank you Jesus.
amazing. i love Jesus
This is AWESOME!! LOL
HALLELUYAH!!!!!
I love this video. Thanks so much!
THANK YOU nate k for clarifying with Scripture! Truly you have wisdom because you search the scriptures instead of just taking one verse and using it out of context like so many believers do. Heavenly Father, forgive us of our lack of understanding and let us solely trust on YOU for YOUR will to be done :)
Bless you!
People say that they can just sin all they want because they can just say sorry to Jesus later, well.. You will never know when will you die and once you are dead telling Jesus sorry will not save you. Don't let evil fool you, open your hearts just for once and let Jesus work in your life.
"Survey says?" Aaaaaaaahh
! Sad but you're not saved. Maybe you will never listen ...with your heart... you are still in darkness 😢
Just goes to show the ridiculousness of being punished for not believing in something.
This pretty much sums everything up. Great video
😥gets me every time, so beautiful😥
Hello everyone ! Anyone knows where the original video can be found?? I need a better quality. Thanks and be blessed. Martin
How do you expect to find the one true God, if your thoughts are, "I won't serve a God who doesn't think exactly as I do"? A real God would have to do this, or that....
That never made sense to me personally. Read the word, and find out what Gods plan is. Which God you ask? Read and find out. He not only answers this (Jesus), but gives you examples of how he will work in your life through His word.. Put faith in His word (follow it), and you will see Him work in your lives, and you will know he is real.
*****
Jesus is Lord.
*****
It's the only answer
*****
Jesus is the answer. That's the word man.

Sure it did.

Jesus is the answer. Nothing else to say. You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink.
jus made me burst into tears.. I bet children u know how't feels that "good-upsetting".. No matter, simple or super-spiritual how's being brought up.. but that particular, unforgeable affirmation of the TRUTH from within.. can't help it how astonishes me each n every single time... How amazing is that to see like this: child of GOD? draw near draw near.. closer.. n closer.. For real.
wait. this isn't a satire on the Christian view of morality?
+Jacob Nydegger
No. This is actually more on the question of salvation rather than morality. Morality is how you know that those pink sheets list *objectively bad* deeds. In a naturalistic worldview for example, there are no good/bad, those are just your subjective opinions.
And just btw, this video doesn't show a man who decided to do bad things and at the end thinking he will say sorry to Jesus and get away with it.
*****
No. Satire would be if the last guy would've been acting all smug. Like if he counted on it that he would get away with anything if he just says sorry at the end. That would be satire, although falsely portraying christianity/salvation.
Thats the beauty of christianity, is that you cannot earn your way into heaven. Which is kind of counter-intuitive, and if you look at any man-made religions, that is precisely how you get to heaven, by earning your way.
And if we can earn our own way into Heaven, why would we need God? Why even recognize God? The dirty little secret is that we need God far more than what we can do for ourselves.

Combining the two best aspects of christiasnity: public shaming and the fact that the bible is so vague and open to interpretation that each and every Belieber has a different concept of what it takes for their god not to arbitrarily spank them for all of eternity.

This feels like the inspiration for 'The Good Place"
I FREAKING LOVE THIS
Pfeh there's some real devoted Christians in this comment section. I see this reaction countless times and of course this video is not satire, it clearly states this in the description.
Don't you think it is weird that God would let you into heaven even though you've commited horrible crimes against other humans? Just because you have accepted Jesus Christ? To me, this is the main problem with all (fanatic) religions. It follows the thought that there is one 'right' God and the followers of other religions are just sinners that will not get into heaven and are therefore less than you. This leads to countless pointless conflicts in the world and silences any debate.
When I (as an agnostic) say to you "I think you will not get into heaven because you have raped and killed ten people" and your reply is "Yes I will because I've accepted Jesus" then what's the point? Would this mean that heaven is full of knights who pillaged Jerusalem during the crusades? Can any serial killer get into heaven like this? Seems like a cheap ticket.
@Switch321 Thank you for your respectfull reply and explanation. Here is my response and view on the matter.
I would not say it offends me (I hardly ever am offended) but it does bother me to some degree, yes. I do believe there are worst 'sins' (I am not a devout Christian so the concept of all sins being equally bad seems strange to me), killing another human being seems worse to me than steeling some candies. I do not see myself as a perticularly good human, I drink and party a lot, but do believe that I bring more joy in peoples hearth than I bring pain. In this way I do reap what I sow, I like my life right now, which has not always been the case.
I would say that there are several examples of those who have killed and deem themselve good Christians and worthy of heaven. The Crusades are a very good example of this, the knights went to the 'Holy Land' and killed thousands in the name of God. Or take for example 'General Butt Naked', seen in this documentary th-cam.com/video/ZRuSS0iiFyo/w-d-xo.html on the cannibal warlords of liberia. He ate humans and had child soldiers but is now a dedicated priest of God. Do you believe that he will get into heaven? If so, heaven to me seems like a bad place to be in because of all these people.
There are those Christians (like you) that want to bring people to the word of God with conversation and reason. With these people I have no problem, I can reason with them and have a open debate. I always learn something. However, there are also those that bring religion with violence. That is my main concern with all major religions. Wars have been fought over Christianity, Islam and Judaism. It seems pity, because in my eyes these worship the same God. So with this, I do have a problem.
That being said, when I read the scriptures you posted, I must say that it does appeal to me. I am planning on reading the Bible (and after that the Quran and the Tanakh). The chances of me converting to any religion are very small, but I will read them for the sake of learning and better understanding your religion. Thank you again for your reply and your prayers. May the Gods that may be or no be bless you to and I hope you have a wonderful day and life.
I don't see how ANYONE can watch this and say "Yeah yeah, they nailed it." If something good happening to you isn't COMPLETELY dependent on your deeds and character, if God punishes a Muslim who say, ended world hunger and brought peace to the Middle East... If God sends him to Hell because he's a Muslim, even though he lived and acted better than most people, then I DO NOT WANT TO WORSHIP THAT GOD. That God is unfit for my worship and adoration, and is deeply immoral and unethical.
+webballshk why do I need a Jewish carpenter to do so? I didn't ask him to. I'm not inherently evil.... something Christianity presumes, that people are inherently evil
+webballshk how do you know the Bible is true
+webballshk so it's true because you say so.
You know you won the conversation when they say "I'm done with you" or "you have your beliefs, I have mine." You can't gimmie a legit reason why the Bible's true, you just assert it really confidently and expect that to pass as valid argument
+webballshk You THINK heaven will be a paradise, but trust me, if you take the biblical version of heaven, you wouldn't wanna live in that society
Love this
I some times feel that way too. But we as believers need to have faith in Him that He'll do what He promises when we do what He says. What I'm doing to help deal with my doubts is continuing to repent for all my sins (like you), trying my best not to sin to begin with, talk to God on a regular (and my pastor), read my Bible, pray, and just simply trust in the Lord. Yes, it's hard, but don't let the devil get in your mind, because he'll try to trick you. I hope this helps a little, good luck!
I found this video by accident and thought it was satire on how absurd the whole thing is, and now I see that people actually take this as religion... what kind of bizarre world is this???
+nick payne The world is not so bizarre friend. Just our perception of it, by what we are taught.

YOU CAN'T UNDO YOUR SINS, CAN YOU? Your sins must be punished. Your many victims must have justice. Jesus took your punishment, all of it. You've been ransomed from Hell. All you need to do is accept His free gift of eternal life by trusting in His finished work on the cross as payment for all of your sins. Or you can reject Jesus and go to Hell. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
There is no such thing as hell, or heaven, or demons or god, rather no evidence for any of that tripe. You are a delusional whack job.
Please take your vile threats and your stinking torture religion and stick them up your credulous ass.
This sketch conveniently leaves out the part where Jesus inevitably walks all the people on the right into a lake of fire and leaves them there for eternity. What a graceful god.
But what about Jesus dying for the entire world on a rugged cross? I would say that is grace in its entirety! And all the people that will be in heaven for eternity because of what Jesus did and Him going through hell for us? In all seriousness that would be my answer to your statement. I hope you can see the flip side of the coin.
¡buenísimo video!, saludos desde Chile
So awesome
I can see what this is trying to say but I'm worried it makes it seem like you can just live an evil life while at the same time having God accept you because you think you're some kind of Christian.
+ObieMe1 I totally understand what you're saying and to a certain extent it is true.. but to be fair, people don't need to use God's grace as an excuse to do evil.. I guess the problem of the human heart is pride and self centeredness no matter what you believe in. Some people don't need to believe in God to act as selfish pricks.
The mostatrocious genocides, massacres come either from people with atheist ideology as a foundation (late/speculative capitalism and communism) with well over 100 million victims just for the XX century..
Or Either by religious corrupted systems/institutions such as the catholic church during the inquisition or Islam right now with ISIS.. (non-exhaustive..). Now you see, it's human beings who are responsible for those actions. It is not the idea of a gracious God who dies for his enemies.. and I would even go as far as to defend communism which has fairness and equality principles in its core values..
When men control, manipulate, steal, kill, lie, use, abuse other men for power, profit or pure megalomania sometimes then "religion" becomes just a means to an end..
We are far from the Jesus of the Bible who opposed those fanatic self-righteous leaders and taught self-sacrifice as well as loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you. Ultimately, the way Jesus lived his life and asks his followers to emulate does not invite you to live an evil life..
gajetto keibu I am not attacking Christianity; I am simply reviewing the video.
+ObieMe1 Okay no worries. I didn't say you were attacking Christinaity. You brought up a valid point here actually.
gajetto keibu Okay, thanks.
Is that NOT what Christianity says, it is not through works but through Grace? According to this christian "Grace" a rapist murder petophile can spend years raping and mursing children, then get caught put on death row, find Jesus and repeat and be born again then spend eternity in heaven.....And an atheist that spend his entire life feeding the poor and hungry, studying science and curing deadly disease, being a good father, husband, and citizen and die and be spend an ETERNITY in torture for it..Is that NOT what Christianity DOES say?
faith without works is dead
In context James 2:14-26, is about Showing your true faith to people. That's why the Apostle James says in v18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; *SHOW* me your faith without the works, and I will *SHOW* you my faith by my works.”
The Apostle James is talking about true faith, versus (( fake faith. v14 Can that faith save him?))
As Born-Again Christians, God has prepared good works ahead of us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, *:>>>created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
yes we are saved by grace through faith.
yet it remains faith without works is dead😊
James 2:17 (KJV):
The only time in scripture that the word "Faith" and "alone" are used in the same verse.
Kind of funny!
You have come this far... you willing to go just a little farther?
The reference to "The Just shall live by Faith" is used three times in the New Testament.
But faith isn't a New Testament concept... the reference is Habakkuk 2:4... faith is an Old Testament concept!
What Hebrew word is it that the just shall live by??
Where else is this word used and what does your bible choose to call it there?
Did your church tell you faith a belief or an action?
