Song in the outro:
Who You Say I Am by Hillsong
While he was still far away, his Father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him...[and said,] "let’s eat and celebrate! Because my son...was lost and has been FOUND." Luke 15:20,23 ISV
You are loved. Be so blessed in Jesus,

I can’t believe it’s never occurred to me to put Bible verses all over my room. This is such a good idea!
Love the scripture on the mirror! YES, the Bible is our sword of truth!!
Omg, Paul and Morgan watched Farawaydistance tooo!!!!
so you are in favor of slavery are you? Bible = not sword...bible is an very old book, a copy from a copy from a copy from a translation from a translation, put together by a council of christian sektleaders hundreds of years after the stories supposedly took place. ......how any one in the 21st century bases their whole life on what a very ancient book full of very ancient rules states is beyond me. It's infanticide after infanticide, mass killings because of people's behaviour, it's one horrible story after another...it's stories that were proven to be not true (Noah's ark as the obvious one)...and still people have a billion dollar industry desperatly trying to sell what's in this book as some kind of moral highground...it's just YUK...thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to learn to think for myself and thank me for being an atheist. YAY!
@@Speedobabe Hi!
We as christians are truely not a fan of slavery, otherwise we wouldn't fight it! I really hope that you see the good that comes out of radical christianity, for example a fight for social justice (feeding the poor, fighting trafficing, fighting abuse, fighting persecution, fighting for freedom from dictatorships, fighting racism, ...), spreading love, peace, kindness, ... and most of all spreading the good news of reconciliation with god and ethernal life.
About the reliability of modern bibles transporting the original message:
This is a topic I am currently researching a lot.
We have old testament manuscripts from very different ages. The most extreme example is probably if you compare the Masoretic Text (manuscripts from the 9th-10th centuary ad available) with 1Qlsa (~~150-100 bc), you will find minor differences (2600 in this case), but nothing impacting theology! I also want to note that language also develops within 1000 years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Scroll
"from a translation from a translation" No! It was written in Hebrew for the most parts (Parts of Daniel and Ezra were written in Aramaic but that also for a reason). The Jews at the time of Jesus (and Jesus himself) used a greek translation, the Septuaginta. (I was told a pretty bad translation - not sure)
But since we do have a lot of different manuscripts, we CAN look at the differences to sort out the original text scientifically!
The amazing thing for me is, that Isaiah is the book preserved bc. And IN Isaiah are the most amazingly correct prophecies about Jesus. (Especially Chapter 53)
I will research that more, but I was told, that the New Testament was never put together, it more developed together and at one point it was fixated. Were there other writings available? Yes! Were there debates about some books? Yes! Are all the other writings bad? I don't think so. Are some of them bad? As far as I was told you could easily mark a lot of them as fictional in contrast to the bible. (I was told to read them myself in an english translation - need to find time for that)
Are there textual variants? According to my research a LOT! Are they significant? To a very minor degree. Do we know the original message of the text? YES! Why? Because we do have so many (10k manuscripts before 500 bc if I am correct). Side-question: Why did so many manuscripts survive persecution? If you really want to go deep here, I recently learned so much from Dr. James White th-cam.com/video/pL0P6sH0cJM/w-d-xo.html
"But all of this was written down very late!" (not quoting you, but quoting sceptics in general): Was it? I have heared many very different datings of the gospels and other books. One thing was very interesting: One reasons why some scholars date some gospel after 70 bc were prophecies about the fall of Jerusalem which happened 70 bc. If we examine a book claiming to have prophetic messages, can we examine it scientifically assuming prophecy doesn't exist? It seems like the oldest NT fragment is P52 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rylands_Library_Papyrus_P52 ) dates 100-175 ad and writes about Jesus beeing accused before Pontius Pilate by the Jews and them wanting the death sentence.
Most of the New Testament was written in Greek and and a lot of the preserved manuscripts are too. So only the translation to english by scientific historians done (if you use a modern translation).
Also the talmud mentions Jesus. (The talmud are lots of jewish writings from Rabbis compiled 400 or 500 bc.)
Another question: What did the writers of the New Testament books gain from writing down fiction? Most of them probably died as martyrs (th-cam.com/video/BltIwge0LiA/w-d-xo.html ).
infanticide? I really don't know what you are reffering to. Do you mean Genesis 22? If yes please read the story until the end.
I agree that there are plenty of mass-killings in the bible, mostly the old testament. But culture changes. We gladly don't life like people did for example 800 bc and at least I can't really imagine life back then. And if it is cruel, does it make it less true?
Please clarify:
* What exactly about Noahs ark do you consider proven not true? Can you link some research?
* What is this "billion dollar industry"?
As you see I an very critical of my faith. Why? Because I belief it is true and therefore can stand the test. If it isn't, then I don't want to belief in it!
I just want to ask you: Are you as critical of your faith? Do you do your own research or do you just copy non-scientific claims? Because I really belief that the correct answers to this questions are vitally important:
How did it become that we are here?
Are we here for a purpose?
Where will we go?
For me it doesn't make sense, that out of nothing, something became. Eighter: There has been something for all ethernity or there IS nothing and there will be nothing for all ethernity.
For me the bible IS reliable and true and that basically turns my whole life upside down! It greatly reduces the amount of bad things I do (still plenty left) and makes me focus on others instead of myself. It also tells me that I never need to fear since god who is more powerful than any object of fear is for me!
If you want good ressources for evidence for the truth of christianity, I recommend connect.rzim.org, I learned such a ton of them. (biased of course)
Have a nice day (or night, evening, whatver).
Gabriel
@@Speedobabe Don't say that if you haven't read the bible. The bible isn't just a book full of rules.
@@julietteishimwe2274 oh dear...don't assume anything...i read the bible...did you? it is a book and it has 613 rules in it, and stories and genealogy...so what did i say that is not true?
I just love how excited you are when you talk about God's Word! It is obvious that the stuff you put up in your apartment impacts you and that you aren't just following a "christian checklist." The passion that you have for Jesus and for others is truly amazing. You have such a strong character one that reminds me of Proverbs 31. Women like you encourage me so much because you demonstrate the power of living a life passionate for God and his glory. Keep up the good work! God has a purpose for you and your work! And you do make a difference!
this was literally the sweetest thing aww!! thank you!!!
I agree!!!
Same Here Becca 😊
We are GOD’S CHILD 🙌🏽

Oof I need to dust my sword off
😍😍😍 you inspire me!
Aww I love you twooo!!
You guys are my best youtuber for me. Always thank you so much☺
You guys inspire me
I really struggle with anxiety too. A verse I always look at is Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Also I have a white board in my bedroom where I write a daily bible verse where I write one verse every day to read throughout the day and a memory verse where I keep one verse up there until I memorize it.
@ Sam Nelson
White board is a great idea! Maybe I'll grab a cheapie one at the dollar store tomorrow. I've written/printed verses before, but I never thought of this!
Amen!!💖💖
Amen, I’ve been too but I’m so thankful for God how he’s still pulling me through, remember to stay strong though!
Perfect Love cast out fear.
"because those are both lit" famous words XD
Another Christian youtuber named Milena Ciciotti has a felt board with a scripture like that too! That’s so cool that you guys have something similar!
Esta Ault I LOOOVEEE Milena! I was thinking of her when I saw the letter board too... lol.😂
Was waiting 4 this!!!!!!

FarAwayDistance you really always have a beautiful smile 😊
My Bible is sitting on my bedside table to remind me to read it
Clarice Bechara awesome I also have a journal next to my Bible and if a verse speaks to me I'll write it down in gel pen style 😘
In my house we have a bible in the place of where a TV would normally be. It's always good to try and have one in every room. The word of God is a manual to life.
I find it awesome that no matter how complex our lives or how unique we are, God's word still applies to each one of us, and often it perfectly addresses our needs and touches us more accurately than we could imagine.
Love the phrase!!!!!
Thank you for that inspiration!!! 💕😊🙏🏻
Thank you for watching Amy!:)
Theresa here ...... thank you for this video! I am a new believer trying to find my path .

So good to see you constantly talking about God
I love this so much! I am super inspired now!
i’m so thankful that the Lord speaks to all of your subscribers through you. your channel couldn’t have came up at a better time and now every time you upload i get so excited to see what the videos about this time :))
This was beautiful Becca!! God bless! x
You inspired me, I'm starting this today. Thank you so much❤️
I love the thing you mentioned about writing words of encouragement on yourself because it's honestly so helpful to look down and see that reminder... I used to do stuff like that when i was in high school but mainly for simple tasks. I wanna start again. The dabs in your vids make me laugh every time and i don't know why! I guess i can relate to being cheesy. Thank you for sharing! 💙 10/10 would dab again.
I needed this... Thanks Becca! I hope God keeps using you for His kingdom
loved this Becca!!!! sooo creative!!!
I like the way you are in your video! So happy and joyful!
I do write 'loved' and 'forgiven' and stuff like that on my wrist too...it helps a lot. I had self harm issues and when in urge to do it again,seeing those words remind me that I should seek Him instead of the pain. Also thank you for bringing me close to Jesus, love from India: )
YES!!! I used to tell my friend who struggled with the same thing to do that!! :)
Love your content! Makes me smile. You’re a blessing to TH-cam! xx
Aww thank you so much!!!
"The word of God is a sword. That's what is says in Ephesians 6." 👌🏾🙂
You are too sweet for this world. Love your channel!
This was great! Love the idea of writing on the mirror!
yay thank youuu!!!
So blessed by this video. God bless you and your ministry! ❣️
thank youuu!!!
Thank you so much, truly needed this❤️
thank you so so much for watching!:)
Just found your channel today- Thanks so much!! Been watching some other vids and you're super encouraging!!
Love this! It will help me on my busy clinical days!
Thank you for this video! I struggle with doubt and insecurity as well. Not only that but the outro song was a song I’ve been looking for. I go to a Christian college and we sang this in chapel this week. It spoke to me a lot as I feel God is telling me my identity is in Him. I forgot the lyrics to look up but now I found it! Thanks!
yall had me crackin up but its also really helpful. Stay blessed girlie :)
I love this and I love you sister Becca!!! In my final year house I'm living with 3 Christians so I'm totally going to do this in September ♥️
Your attitude and demeanor are so fun and contagious! Subscribed!
Thank you!!
Just started watching your channel and it’s amazing! you have such a great joy and love for Christ. Keep it up :) !
This inspired me so much! Your so excited about talking about God!It makes me wanna just be like u your very inspiring
great job sharing your faith. Way to be a bright beacon in a world that kinda dark at time. Keep up the amazing work.
YOUR SO WHOLESOME!!
Thank you for your positive energy. I just wrote on my mirror a positive reminder- thanks once again.
That makes me so happy!!
What an adorable woman and inspirational video on what to do in our living areas. These vlog style videos are so awesome, and I hope you do more!
These are such great ideas -- I've found such spiritual help in similarly "surrounding" myself with words, verses, symbols, and art that remind me (even unconsciously!) of the truth and God's protection. I also really love more traditional religious icons of scenes and figures from Scripture, and saints, since often I find can sort of enter more deeply into them with my senses when they are visually present to me. And lighting candles is also great!
This is just super Wholesome. It's amazing
I haven't visited my subscribed channels in a while. I miss watching your videos. Very inspirational :)
Thanks Becca! You're such a real, fun and beautiful person! God bless ❤❤
Aww thank you!!:)
this looks good.
Quirky laughter.
thankyou so much for sharing💖
you are so funny! 😂 swing on ‘round here 😂😂😭
Aww haha thank you!!
I so needed this!
Thank you for answering so many of my questions which I never even asked! I guess God knew they were on my heart.
Ok so I know being jealous is a sin...call me envious but the giggling in this video made me long for friends like you two! I miss talking to others my age about Christ. I miss smiling over a coffee or reading the bible together, going through impressions etc.
Well maybe I miss laughing together the most, but at least I can talk to God... I guess I just feel stale in the faith, if that makes sense. I try to keep close to God but I think Christian friends are important. My friends all moved on and there aren't any youth groups of younger Christians where I live. Anyway, thanks for all your encouragement.. P.s I only just stupidly realised you wrote the bible verses in the description- TYSM because I was rewinding all the videos to catch them ;)
Aww I feel that. I used to not have very many close Christian friends either. Honestly, I would pray for God to put Christian friends in your life! Don't be afraid to ask for that. Try to get involved in some kind of small group setting where you can meet people and build relationships! :)
You are amazing!!
So encouraging, thank you
You definitely have an impact on people Becca. That one time one of your students wrote you a letter and thanked you just shows. Plus all these comments from other people are all saying the same thing.. you have a way of influencing people’s day for the better.
Heck yeah Becca!! Loving thissss 💕💕💕
Ahh love you!! :)
You are so adorable. Your laugh and smile are contagious. Praying for more videos to come and to you continuing to inspire other people. God bless you! 🤗😊

I love this... thanks for sharing
Ily so much!!!!
haha I feel like your an older version of me and how I want to live my life! Thank you so much for making videos like this! God is so amazing! I love God so much and I think having quotes around you and on your lockscreen or anything like that is really an extra push to help you think positively. You remind me of my family members because we all want to be radiant for Jesus. Wish we could talk in person. Keep sharing God's light! :D
I love your channel sm! Keep doing what you do
Ah this was so great!! I love y'all of your signs on the wall. It's super cute!
