Yah, and Noah was called a "preacher of righteousness" as he was God's servant in that day. Only the 8 (his family) made it through the flood, all others were destroyed in the flood. Could you imagine if he just built the boat for himself and family while living a Godly life? At least he tried to warn the people and give them a chance for hope. Bet they wanted in the ark after God shut the door of the ark and the rain fell.
Funny enough that one 1% could have been her. Her soul was feeling conviction right at that moment. But yashua said the heart and mind of people are easily deceived and full of evil.
I was pretty much the same as that woman. I thought that to get people to accept and know God, I had to conform to their world views and try to fix them from that through their world view. I really thought like that. for 2 years. After watching this guy preach, how wrong I was. You dont change the gospel to suite other people, you change people to suite the gospel. This is salvation, you cant be lukewarm or God will spit you out. I realized that you cant go around aimlessly, checking other religions and beliefs for signs of God in them. You must have a strong doctrine and foundation. THe foundation which is the good news, the salvation of God for all people.
watching this video made me really think about how much I don't tell people about God. There was something she said that caused me to think and it was this: she said that what he is doing isn't causing them to want the gospel. And all I could think is, they don't want it in the first place. They are God-haters. They are dead in their flesh. I felt so much for that girl, and I should pray for her.
@@janinefontaine-lyons5840 yes, that's God's heart. The guy was self- righteous, so he had to show him the truth. Like Jesus did with a rich man, like God did with Job
@@thespiritofprophecy283 “Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures.” Acts 17:1-2
I was facing death when I was in the hospital. I was contemplating what was going to happen to me when I die? I was reflecting on my life, all the things that I had looked at, from eastern philosophies, drinking and drugging etc.. So again I asked what happens when I die? At that moment I saw in my minds eye a vision of total blackness, blacker than any the denseness of coal . Also I felt a loneliness that was beyond description. The vision Scared me so badly I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end.I thought this was hell and I need to find out who this Jesus is. God at that moment sent my uncle to me. I hadn’t seen in over 15 years. He asked me if I wanted to know who Jesus is. That was over 40 years ago when I accepted Christ. If God never told me through a vision that I was going to hell, I would have never turned to the Lord. I knew my vision I saw was of hell, because when I read2Peter 2:17 he described the future reserved for sinners “ these people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. Jesus spoke on hell more than he did on heaven. He did not shy away speaking on it in fear of driving away converts on the contrary it drew more people to His church.
That woman was infuriating! How can she come up and DISCOURAGE a preaching of the Gospel?! People NEED to hear the Good News whether they will accept it or not, whether it is offensive to them or not. I applaud this man (I don't know his name because this is the first video I've watched of his) for doing what he was commanded to do by our Lord Jesus Christ!! These nominal Christians really are sooooo lost and they have no idea what it means to be a true follower of Jesus. I pray that the woman in this video realizes her error and asks for forgiveness!!
You only believe what you do because your parents told you to believe. If you were born in Iran, I'll bet you would have a different conviction. Science has disproved every religious text. Just try for once to search for truth. I urge you to listen to Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. I am not ridiculing you so don't take it as such. I am begging for you to gather information and reach a scientific conclusion. You will be in even more awe of the cosmos.
another auchtheist! 1 Thimoty 6:20. O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”
Jacob Willow You see how perfectly your cult tells you to not learn?...that's because an educated person is a wise person. A wise person does not believe in fairy tales. You sir, are in a CULT... I ask you to watch a video or two of Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins. Otherwise, you sound like Adam Sandler's mom in "Waterboy"...."You ain't playin no foosball"...:)
37parman - My "parents told me to believe?" You are so foolish to presume all these things. My parents were not even strong Christians. My mom went to church to socialize with her friends mainly and my dad never went to church at all. So aside from a few visits to church as a kid, I didn't grow up as a Christian. In fact, all my life I looked for the truth and by God's grace, He brought me into His truth… Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Chris Hitchens?? You follow fools- because only fools believe there is no God. They are mere men. I follow the Almighty God and trust in His word. "Science disproves every religious text?" Oh my…. Does science disprove HISTORY?? The bible is based on HISTORICAL evidence and eyewitness accounts. Even Richard Dawkins cannot refute the historicity of Jesus. Why do atheists think that science negates faith in God?? God CREATED science…. The bible says that fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom. I pray you fear the Lord.
***** WOW!! Forget my appeal to your common sense of reality. You are FAR too gone into your cult so HAPPY TRAILS to you my dear. I hope the kool-aid tastes good. LULULULULU...that's me doing crazy circles around my head.:)
pneumike1 He's not praying Fool - He's evangelizing. You are the sort that would accept a Jesus who is jammed into a tomato and avocado toasted sandwich. Sorry; Jesus declares the terms of entrance into Heaven; not You or some unsaved individual :(
+Mike Panocatapolis (Not boba fett) It breaks her heart because he is the kind of person that is judgmental, and scares people away thinking that it's too hard to make it to heaven. This is not the way Jesus approached the people, we are to be imitators of Jesus, and approach with LOVE, not condemnation. There is repentsnce, and that is one of reasons why God sent His son, because we are saved by Grace!! No one but God will judge, especially this idiot, pardon my french, that is steering people away from the gospel. He needs to get a different job, or he is the one that's going to be judged harshly be God!! OUCH!!
Sandra Gonzalez The difference between Your lovey-dovey 'lovely message' approach, which is atypical of the emergent institutionalised church; and Todd's balanced 'Message of Love' approach, is TRUTH. TRUTH is the ONLY reference point to Love (1 Corinthians 13:6) Without a change in direction through REPENTANCE of sin, because of unbelief in God's reconciliatory Gospel Message, each reprobate individual has an automaton appointment with HELL. Todd has the right balance: NOBODY DESERVES GOD'S GRACE of New Life!!
deksper Derek the true fool is one who values belief over reason. I am sure you would fit into that category. evangelizing is preaching, preaching is a form of prayer.
If the people around Jesus weren't offended by Him, they wouldn't have nailed Him to a cross. Being good alone isn't enough, you have to be born again. Which is why The Roman Centurion, a man with a whole household of good people, had to be born again!!!
Jesus told us to preach the GOSPEL to everyone we come into contact with and not just to live it! He told us to preach! That girl is wrong! She is afraid not to be liked! That is the problem with all of us christians , we hide that we are christians! Love you ! Great job, you explained it to her right! THANK YOU JESUS!
Milica Djukich Jesus never taught his disciples to preach the a gospel, this is what Paul was doing. Why not instead of making this nonsense up, look up every verse where Yahowsha errantly called Jesus spoke concerning how one is to attain eternal life. Leave your Pauline doctrines at the door and you might learn something about Yahowah's will for mankind. Understand the following words were never written out nor to be understood as conveyed in a verse in all of scripture: Church, gospel, Jesus, Christ, Holy, communion wafer, bible, Jehovah, Jew, Easter, Lent, Christmas, Old or New covenant or testament, worship of Yahowah or Yahowsha, praying to Yahowah or Yahowsha. With the above understood how could there be a Christian church established by the coming of Yahowsha? Or for that matter a new covenant?
I sotac Jesus when he went to heaven after his resurrection, told the apostles, GO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION, HERE IN SAMARIA, JERUSALEM AND THE PARTS OF THE WORLD, HEAL THE SICK, DRIVE OUT DEMONS, AND RAISE THE DEAD and than the end will come! Jesus did not say that? Yes he did say all of that! AND ISRAEL IS FOREVER!
Milica Djukich No actually if you read that verse from the oldest Greek manuscript it does not say that. He said to seek only the lost children if Israel. Go read the verse again. You might notice Yahowsha said also give freely what I have first given you. What message would the walking talking Torah give his disciples? How is it that 17 years later a fellow name Paul is summoned to Jerusalem to explain his completely different gospel of Gratia? How is it this same self proclaimed apostle thought he could rebuke those hand picked by Yahowsha? Go read Gal. 1,2, and 3 and compare with Matt. 5,6, and 7. Why do you think Christians are Israel? Where did Yahowah say He was to send the lamb to tear all the promises from Israel and place them on the new Christian church created by Paul? Quote a verse from the Torah, Prophets, or Psalms to make your point, or be my quest quote something from the lips of Yahowsha or one of his 12 taught ones.
***** But you don;t get it a person can be forgiven for doing any sin, and I mean any sin no matter what it is, Paul was forgiven and JESUS said himself he was going to use him, and he did, Paul wrote most of the NEW TESTAMENT! The LORD uses who he wants! Have a wonderful day!
Brother I loved your live presentation and the way of preaching bro. your are blessed & anointed man of God. I believe open air preaching can only bring change to the minds of common people like me the matter most is to become a new creation let's pray to Almighty God,- Our Heavenly Father make us all new person in the image of Jesus which we know thatthis is Your Will today in this perishing world that is why Jesus said : "I am the way, the Truth & the Life, no one comes to the Father but through Me" Amen & Amen.
After reading from the Holy Bible Titus Ch3:9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies & arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.10 Warn a divisive person once, & then warn him a second time. Ater that have nothing to do with him. 11 You may be sure that such a man is wraped & sinful; he is self-condemned. And Jesus said : "Everyone will hate you because of me. Whoever holds out to the end will be saved."(Mark13:13) "Do not lose courage, then because it brings withit great reward. You need patience to God's will & receive what He has promised." "Happy are those whose sins are forgiven, and whose wrongs are pardoned."(Ps.32:1) "Some however did receive Jesus and believed in Him; so He gave them the right to become God's Chrildren."(Jn.1:12) PROMISE OF JESUS - Whoever believes in Jesus can fil his heart everyday with the Holy Spirit- the life giving water. He will also receive the grace to lead many to Jesus who is the source of this "lifegiving water" And now those filled with this Holy Spirit will: 1.Experience God's love. 2.Receive the Gift of prayer, and the power to understand the inner meaning of God's Word. 3.Obtain peace of mind, self control, the grace of endurance, the power to love & to forgive. 4.Receive the most precious gift of becoming a new creation in Christ Jesus.(like St Paul) above all be committed to Jesus and to the gospel. Who will go to Heaven?- Only those who does the "WILL OF GOD" by obeying the Laws & commandments of God. Even Jesus did the will of God our eternal Father to Bless us. We all know that Jesus Son of God became man to be the sacrificial offering for the atonement of the sins of this world. Jesus said "I will never turn away anyone who comes to me." (John6:37) GOD HAS A PLAN FOR EVERY ONE (YOU & ME)- Almighty God says: "I know well the plans I have in mind for you. Plan for your welfare and not for your disaster, plans to give you a future full of hope, Then you will call to me, and I will find (Jer.29:11-14)
Yes, but Jonah was sent to an incredibly wicked nation; the Ninevites. And his ministry actually changed their hearts. We SHOULD preach while it is still day, for the night is fast approaching when no work will be done and then the end will come. then she will really have something to cry for.
***** Jesus said that He and the Father are one, John 10:30, and something very similar in John 14:10. And Jesus referred to God as in heaven. Therefore because Jesus, who is one with God, is near, the kingdom of heaven was near. For God, who is in Heaven, is with Jesus. Matthew 12:50. By doing something like this we either are ignorant of this fact, which is still not good for Hosea 4:6, or we want to play the deceiver and hide in sheep's clothing by claiming we are GOD. so yeah, I'm not Christ and I am not God, I just point to them because i fall and sin. They do not fall, THEY HAVE NOT FALLEN for THEY AREA TRIUNE AND HOLY GOD! I deserve every bit of Hell, and because i know this i am terrified. but I'm more terrified of the one who made HELL and commanded me to preach the WHOLE GOSPEL to unbelievers, regardless of my results for God will be the ultimate planter, waterer and grower of HIS field, Matthew 13. He calls us out into that field to find the seeds that have grown and landed and heard what was preached, He calls some to go to the ones being choked by weeds, he calls some to go to those that the birds have taken away, he calls everyone who is in him to this field. So that the good soil can become full of good and healthy plants, being judged by the LAW that will send those not in the good soil to HELL, 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.. Matthew 7:15-19
MegaMalo. You obviously have no knowledge of the Christian religion. All the stuff you mention is in the Old Testament. It's the history of the Jews. Although it is part of the Christian Bible it is mostly that, a history lesson which includes the prophesies of Jesus Christ. The New Testament is the New Covenant that Christians abide by. It is the New Covenant and Jesus' teachings that drive Christians. You need to do your research.
David Smith Jesus said in the bible "I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill them" And that means the old testament. Your bible is full of madness from a psychotic god that you for some reason worship
You are wrong. You have no idea what you are talking about, but you actually make my point for me. When he says "I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill them" he is saying that he is fulfilling the multiple prophesies that the Old Testament has about him coming and invoking the NEW CONVENANT. In fact THE VERY REASON HE CAME WAS TO PUT US UNDER GRACE (BY HIM DYING ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS). We are no longer under the law. Under the law your sins are forgiven through animal sacrifices. Under grace we are covered by HIS sacrifice. You don't understand Christian beliefs even at its basic level!!!
David Smith That's hilarious. I thought god can't change? Clearly he changed from being an angry bloodthirsty being to a "compassionate" and "loving" being. Also Jesus meant the old LAWS not just prophecies, I used to study this stuff. And animal sacrifices? really? "Father I have committed a sin, so I will now kill an animal to make up for it". Sacrifices sound a lot like older gods that were created, and your god is no different. You have absolutely 0 proof your religion is remotely true
I think the preacher did an excellent job answering the woman's concerns in an intelligent, scriptural manner all the while keeping his own spirit under control. Well done. As for the woman, it is obvious that she is repeating something she was taught that is not scriptural. She would do well to spend more time in the word of God as it appears that she doesn't know the Jesus of the bible.
The woman's "keep your head down and never argue with anybody" attitude is classic postmodern crap, but people who shake their fingers and yell over a crowd are jackasses only out to glorify themselves. If you seriously want to bring people around to *any* point of view it's far more productive to sit down with a smaller group and have a civil conversation about it than to stand out yelling at the top of your lungs at strangers passing by. People who take that approach are only feeding their own egoes.
LamiaDomina Hmmmm. well the bible says"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." Isaiah 25:1
Scottish Gold You can have productive discussions in public and with strangers without making an ass of yourself like this. Mixing spots like a campus smoking shelter are great for it. Conversing with people directly, staying level and civil, engaging in dialogue and answering questions will actually get people to listen to you. If you're serious about what you're preaching about that ought to be what matters, not how cool you think you look up on a milk crate looking down on others.
LamiaDomina You are partially correct. Phillip did that in Acts chapter 8 as an example to the Ethiopian. Stephen was stoned to death according to Acts chapter 9 while preaching in the street in Jerusalem at what is now called, "St. Stephen's gate." There are times to do both, but street preaching is scriptural. As for someone "making an ass of yourself" as you say, my answer to that would be 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."
She is obviously one who tells people in their sins that "it's ok. God loves you." Instead of warning them of the judgment. Therefore, she will be standing next to them, weeping and gnashing her teeth in the judgment.
I don't know if you read these, but I just wanted to say thank you for this. You really helped show me how much of a hypocrite I was being in my daily life.
what todd did for this women is the most loving thing anyone will do in telling her the truth about the God she claims to serve. she's capitulating to the world through pragmatism in going with what makes people feel good instead what the Law of God says. she may not be a fire brimstone person, but God the Creator of all things is and will punish all those who suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness(rom 1:18). the reason people think the gospel is a message of hate is because they hate God and love their sin. the LORD God does indeed hate evildoers and will punish them with hellfire if they don't repent but God has also shown mercy to the world in sending Jesus Christ the God-man to take the punishment for those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord. there are some in that crowd who will hear the message of life, respond positively, and receive salvation from God in Jesus Christ who came to give life and life to the fullest. that is the message that todd is offering to this women and to the crowd.
What God hates, and how to escape wrath Psalm 5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Psalm 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. 1Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. God justly hates sinners, but offers them mercy and escape from wrath through Jesus, and His Cross. Jim M
Indeed, I wish I wasn't slow of tongue, speech, and nervous to be a street preacher like Todd, ray, etc.. Doesn't matter if people get offended or makes them hate God more, the Gospel message saves those who he elects who hear it.
Matthew Setzer Without God you cannot say that rape is wrong/immoral, because it will be your opinion against somebody else's. In the absence of an objective moral standard, nothing can be called "good", "bad", "moral" or "immoral".
They were both right! I commend this man's faith and bravery to comfront the world head on and preach TRUTH. I commend the woman's love and compassion for people. Both of them would make a great team preaching the gospel if they came to agreement
Because your so-called truth is a bit bullshit. Telling people to "get right with god or else" is hardly a clever selling tactic. Not to mention, it's all incredibly silly. Feel free to believe in vengeful gods, eternal damnation and all the made up stories from the bible. The rest of the world would like to get on with their lives without worrying about non-existent gods.
The truth is difficult to grasp. I get it. So, you go ahead and continue to love and glorify yourself. It doesn't stop the fact that God loves you. Be blessed.
Tyrone Powell I'm not glorifying myself. I'm living my life as happily and with little stress as possible. I never understood why you worship something that demands CONSTANT glorification,making you put aside all other aspects of your life in the process. Not only is your god a massive bully. s/he is also a raging egomaniac and narcissist. Until your god truly reveals itself and/or proves all the crap in the bible is true, it shan't get one ounce of respect from me.
I've heard plenty of unsupported assertions. If there is a God, then if I can see some real, tangible evidence of his existence, something which can't be interpreted in hundreds of ways, then I'll believe in him. All I've heard are assertions.
If the bridge ahead is out, you do not just sit in park and say 'people will see how I am and try to be like me'. You get out and scream. 'The bridge is out! You are driving too fast!. You are not judging them. You are telling them what actions will place them in peril. I can say 'you are a speeder and you do not use your brakes'. I am only identifying what they are doing. The judgment comes when they go over the edge of the bridge. I can say 'you are a blasphemer' and 'you will go to hell'. I have not judged, I can not send them to hell. I have only identified their error and warned them of the consequences. The judgment comes only if they fail to heed my warning.
Samuel Hernandez Convicted... definitely!You ever seen a Ruben Israel video?(he's a street preacher). He's pretty controversial in his approach, but he said in the documentary about him ''You'd only be offended by what I say if it applied to you...''
Well you got Christians who can respect other people's beliefs weather they believe in another god, agnostic or atheist. Than you got the ones like this who twist the bible to fit their needs, try to force their beliefs onto others and threaten you with hell if you don't agree with them or their religion.
He handled that so well and so much better than I could have ever, not to mention he always had the option to make her look like a fool and he chose not to
I wonder if the lady even KNEW the Gospel. Many people grow up in church and have never been born again. The preacher is right, just living your life in a nice way won't bring someone to Christ without the Gospel being preached...I mean, JW's and Mormons look like very "good" people; what if by their example, they brought you to their false Jesus? You would be just another nice person headed to Hell.
+Ace, The Reactor, it is more important that what we believe is right, than just believing something. I say there is evidence of Hell because Jesus spoke about it. And that trust I have in Jesus is built on a foundation of truth, backed up by documents and eye witnesses that have stood the test of time. You on the other hand, won't take a honest look with an open heart because you love the sin you're chained to, and find it easier to do things your way. You are the god of your life, and think you are here to fulfill your every desire. There is a Day of Judgement headed your way; if you are still in your sins when that time comes...it'll be Hell to pay. That's not what I want for you, but that you would turn from your wicked ways and trust Jesus.
gettinold2 I don't love the sin, because I don't sin. I live my life, actually, as a good person. I help people, when I can, and don't hurt anyone. It's YOU religious people, who're evil. You go around, murdering innocent people, because you think your "deity" told you to. You religious morons are the ones causing trouble!! There's NO evidence that there were actually witnesses of Jesus' resorection. You say there's evidence of hell, because "Jesus" spoke about it? The bible? The documents that have stood the test of time? LOL!!!! Again, are you talking about the *RETARDED* bible?! LOL, the bible's been *DISPROVEN, * by *SCIENCE*!!!! And, I won't take an honest look? At what? The bible? I've read the *ENTIRE* bible, from cover to cover - and it's *HORESHIT!!!!* It's *FICTION!!!!*
+Ace, The Reactor You say you're a good person and then go on to falsely accuse all of us Christians of murdering innocent people and call us morons (which is both lying and slander)....... seems a bit inconsistent me thinks. So can you intelligently back up your assertions with truth? Or are you just going to hurl a barrage of insults at me?
Ace, The Reactor Sure you have sinned! Have you ever lied, taken something that doesn't belong to you, fornicated, dishonored your mother and father, coveted? If you have...then you've sinned. If you've hated, God see's it as murder, and lust as adultery. Dude...your goose is cooked if you are found in your sin! All of your "good works" are as filthy rags to a holy God...they won't help you at all in justifying you against the thousands of sins you've committed over the years. The next thing is; you have the wrong idea of what a Christian is and does. NO Christian murders anyone! A religious hypocrite is what you are describing...not a Christian! You're wrong about Jesus. He has been fully documented and verified. You just deny the facts because of your unrighteousness.
I agree with Mr. Friel hands down! If you listen you can hear folks agreeing with the lady. when the world starts to agree with you and when you start to agree with the world then something is wrong. Nobody likes to here that they are wrong but if you dont tell them then they will die and go to hell! May God continue to work great and mighty deeds through you Mr. Friel
Man the Spirit of God was seriously tugging at her heart, she knew she was in damnation but pride was confusing her,,, you delivery was beautiful God bless your ministry
Hi I'm a new subscriber and I'm serving in Taiwan as a self-supporting missionary I have to say you have a sense of humor when you preach to people and I find that very interesting Also find it great that you really cover basically everything and your hardcore for Jesus which I can respect Thankfully that's where I'm hoping to be.
What ever choice you make, do from your heart with love NOT FEAR. I had that experience about 40-45 years ago. and it happened so quick, my head was almost spinning. One must greatly consider his or her individual intuition (the bridge between spirit and consciousness). One must consider the importance of your individual consciousness. Whether you know it or not, everything is conscious. In a very SIMPLE example, 2 twins may look exactly alike but, it is impossible for them to see and feel exactly the same. Anything you examine deep enough has minor or microscopic differences. One person favors red and another favors purple or pink. One person adores brunettes, another prefers redheads. One person loves the daytime and another loves the night. That is the fabric of existence. When ever you feel doubt, it is a big sign saying you are open to growth. Once you say, "I KNOW", it is a sign that says you give up learning about that thing and just accept it as the ultimate truth. The truth for MOST of us in the 1700s was you could not have a vehicle without a horse. In the 1800s vehicles could not fly. TRUTH! 1900s, no such thing as a handheld device for communication world-wide. TRUTH! I believe your spirit will let you know in some way when people or preachers come to you with threats of death, eternal suffering and damnation, which you should know, that they are preying on your fears. When someone PREDICTS you will REST and WORSHIP at the feet of a god and be cared for forever and everything will be provided with everything you NEED and that is the END of it all, a little light will come on saying, WHAT?!?!?! >> Don't take my word for any of this. Use your own heart and mind. That is why you have it, to use it, and respectfully resist trusting others who have the OWN mind and heart.
Rachel Tan You will come to see the sheep and the shepherd are one. Funny how the Beetles had this song so many years ago like someone realized what reality is, 'Love Is All There Is'. >>> Respectfully.
The preacher is absolutely correct. We all have been judged! People like this young lady have been misled with the feel good Gospel! Read the Bible folks!
yup she just wants to be comforted in all things but life is not always comforting and in fact God tells us many even those who believe in him will not enter into Heaven because most of us even if we say we believe in Jesus Christ we dont follow his word we do nothing for him. My advice read the bible put it in your heart and dont ever stop reading it.
By her saying what he was doing wasn't right, that's saying that what jesus did wasn't right. Because this man was doing the same thing Jesus did while he was here. And that's preach the gospel to the masses. She didn't have any legitimate answer to the point she was trying to make. Don't challenge a true man of God about God's word when you don't even know what God said. Period...
+Daniel Allen Yes she did. What that preacher is do- ing and saying does NOT make anyone want to be religious. It's making ppl away from religion. HEY in fact Atheism is born outta Christianity. And that's exactly the point that sweet girl was try- ing to make while being cut off over and over & NOT listened to at all bc it's now you all treat your oppressed wmn. Peace
+Qonita Badeges atheism is the baseline, not religion. Do you really trust mankind to convey how the afterlife works? Also, how convenient that churches pay no taxes and god needs your money so you can go to heaven
+Pogo M Jesus said not everyone who calls Him Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. Don't worry God will judge those who preach Christ out of greed. He also said those who do not warn will not be held guiltless
+Daniel Allen .................................. Matthew 12:18 says about Jesus (King James Bible),'Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.HE SHALL NOT STRIVE, NOR CRY OUT; NOR SHALL ANY MAN HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS; A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends forth justice unto victory'. Jesus did not yell and scream in the streets .'A bruised reed shall he not break', means Jesus was gentle with broken people, not harsh, angry and vindictive like yourself.What he is doing is totally un- Biblical, causes strife bitterness anger and hostility toward the beautiful Good News of Christ.Jesus says 'by their fruits you shall know them'..and, after watching many of these videos, I see the fruit is consistently bad.
Cassandra Foster Did you know that 'duh' was contagious? Did you know that "it wasn't me who said that" is a super famous phrase from the past? Did you know that anyone who doesn't stay in line, keep the mouth shut or, at least make great effort to accept thing as they are, will probably risk controversy, being fired, punished, penalized, being ostracized, lynched, be headed, alienated, exiled or CRUCIFIED. >>> Respectfully.
that is what Americans do.. stand there and being angry.. If it was here people will call the police and your sorry will get move.. You can't do this kind of BS here..
Possibly because religion harms...and even leads to babies dying. Many Christian women silently go for abortions, too afraid to ask for guidance at their church for fear of being gossiped about rather than helped. www.christianpost.com/news/70-of-women-who-get-abortions-identify-as-christians-survey-finds-150937/ Babies and toddlers have died avoidable deaths. Why? Because religious affiliated daycares have had training, inspection, and licensing requirements waived. We are talking thousands of daycares in one state alone. Religion has recently resulted in other deaths and many types of harm. Yeah, we are angry. Will you consider educating your church about the congregation needing a safe counseling resource for pregnant church goers? You can also look up polls on how many Christians that believe abortion should be legal. It is shocking. Maybe church leaders can offer special talks to try and change minds.
I think what christians are forgetting or don't understand is that God has given different gifts to different people. To some he gave the gift of preaching and to others the gift of ministering hopitality etc. They are all ways that we live the gospel and witness of Jesus love. The eye is not the ear nor is the ear the hands. Each has a different purpose and way of working in the body of Christ. We ought nought to judge the lords servant in what he or she has been called to do. Everyone is different and may receive the truth through different means. I am very introverted and shy so I am not able to go out in the street and preach but I appreciate and love those who do. I can give out tracts and God's word and try to live in a way that honors God and that is my way of being a witness. We need to be more unified as the body of Christ and appreciate the gifts God has given each one of us.
This confused young woman is so typical of how brainwashed and ungodly our nation has become. When The Lord does pass judgment on this fallen nation, this girl, and all the drunken fools applauding her, will finally look up to heaven and ask, "Why have you cursed us, God ?" As for myself, I'll also look up towards my Creator and simply say, "I understand Your holy wrath upon this wicked and corrupt generation, oh Lord. Have mercy upon us all."
I don't believe in the creed of the Turkish the Jewish church or the Christian Church all Church's are man made instutions to control my mind is my own Church Tom Paine founding father
There are so many "soft and easy Christians" out today just like this young lady. I have been told several times that I am the reason why people are leaving the church. No, people are leaving the church because of what's in their heart. I agree with Todd...we must preach repentance!
Regardless if he's sugarcoating or not they'll hate the message because they don't want to hear how sinful they are. The bible says if you're not of this world you'll be hated, so expect that and don't compromise your faith. Simple as that.
+Debo Ayangbile People who refuse to believe in God are usually just scared of the truth, scared to see themselves for the wretches sinners we really are, otherwise, they wouldn't be so confrontational and intolerant with Christians.
BoardWolf If that were true, then Atheists would have left Christians alone to their own beliefs and teachings. Thanks to the spread of Atheism, you can't pray in Schools, you can't read the bible in class, you can't mention God or Jesus in any public fashion without being met with hostility, as demonstrated by this comment thread. So, who's being intolerant here?
BoardWolf How is speaking in a public place about Jesus Christ or God in any way a form a intolerance? How is praying being intolerant and hateful? If intolerance means to simply voice your beliefs in a place where people have differing beliefs, you'd be right. But here, that is not the case. It's true that awful things have been done in the name of Christianity, but what most people don't realize is that not everything done in the name of Christianity accurately reflects Christian teaching. Christianity is misused when used as justification for violence. Also, the most notable acts of evil done in the name of Christianity occurred centuries ago, not in modern times. However, the same cannot be said for all religions. Groups such as ISIS, Hamas, Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad resort to violence also.
BoardWolf That's what I meant by saying that not all things done in the name of Christianity reflects true Christian teaching. If you don't know what true Christian teaching is, I'm sorry that you had to see such poor examples of it. And yes, we are all sinners (ME especially) and therefore destined for Hell unless we repent and put our faith in Jesus. That is what Jesus taught us to tell people because he wants us all to avoid that fate. If you knew that something terrible was going to happen, like a hurricane, and that everyone would die if they didn't do what is necessary to protect themselves, you would do your absolute best to tell everyone, wouldn't you? If we were taught to just not care about what would happen to other people and just stick with our own, that wouldn't help anyone and it certainly wouldn't please God because He loves us all and wants us to come to Him.
Todd, you did everything right and you answered well on all counts. Your manner was temperate, and you were patient. This woman had the right heart, but she is either deceived, or uneducated regarding evangelism. Deep down she does not have the conviction to warn people of their plight, and she has a distorted view of judgement, motivated by the feelings of man, and not led by the Spirit of truth. Your responses were all true and correct and altogether educational for all would be Christians. The evangelists would likely already have the conviction by which you operate. I cannot find fault with anything you said and I pray the woman overcomes her fears and develops discernment and wisdom. I have heard many people say, just live your life and people will want what you have. Well, what is worth having anyway except the peace of God in the midst of calamity. Who is going to see that every day? Wesley was lucky to see it once and he learned he was a false convert and came to Christ. How can they hear unless someone tells them. The Gospel is the power of salvation and the law is the tutor to bring us to Christ. I wish there were more of us.
Dr. Arleezah Marrah That is exactly one of the biggest problems with organized religion. What is in your heart doesn't get any credit. What is written is the book of many, many revisions through the centuries counts more than what is in your heart.
That woman was very wrong. She says "This is not the way we should do it" but the way the man was doing it is completely right! The reason she got so upset was because she cannot stand the truth, if people do not accept Jesus into their heart, they go to hell, she can try to sugar coat it all she wants, that's the truth. She is also wrong about what she said about judgement, the Bible does not say you cannot judge, it only states you cannot judge if you yourself commit that sin also. For example, if I was a major drug addict and I went around preaching about how people should not get into drugs, I would be a hypocrite and that is the type of judgement the Bible says not to do. If you are not guilty in an area of sin, you are qualified to judge others in that area.
Thanks for proving once again that conservative evangelical christians know fuck all about the world. The reason this woman is upset is because Friel (the preacher) is arrogant and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Telling people they're going to hell just because they're not dropping to their knees in deep repentance is nothing short of obnoxious. Also, the preacher's truth isn't the rest of the world's truth, now is it? As for judging, the preacher most definitely was judgmental, using the bible as a shield to do so. He's a coward.
kylechicago8189 "...the preacher's truth isn't the rest of the world's truth..." Is there more than one truth? You'd think that, by definition, truth is an immutable and immovable thing, no?
No, truth is NOT immutable. What's the difference between "immutable truth" and "truth"? Also, I love how only when it comes to god and the bible, christians jump on their high horse and claim it all to be "absolute truth".
kylechicago8189 Actually, I came to the concept of absolute truth via science. After auditing a few classes on cosmology and astrophysics, I realized that according to science, there is a capital R Reality independent from my beliefs out there, both spiritual and physical. We use science to try to parse out, stumble imperfectly towards the physical truths of the material universe. So, doesn't that imply that there is a more meaningful Truth out there as well? Something beyond the atomic mass of hydrogen and the rate of expansion of the universe? Something about moral duty, perfection, life, death, grace, and judgement? Because if there isn't, and the material is all there is, then what a sad, sad story the tale of the human race will turn out to be. But if there is, then how glorious and beautiful it is instead. I did not come to Christ because I believed, then had to rationalize my belief. For me, it was the other way around. I came to the need for a Creator because our entire understanding of physics is predicated on an uncaused cause. Once I accepted that truth, I set to finding out what kind of god made all this. I found Him in Christ. You sit there thinking yourself so superior in knowledge, but I am the one that knows something you do not. The wonderful thing is that, what I know is a who, and He really, really wants to you to know Him and to know you in return.
kylechicago8189 "The reason this woman is upset is because Friel (the preacher) is arrogant and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room." Wrong, the preacher did not think that at all, all he was doing was preaching what Jesus preached, he did not think himself better than anyone since compared to the glory of God, we are all worthless including us Christians. "As for judging, the preacher most definitely was judgmental, using the bible as a shield to do so. He's a coward." Lets see, he stood before all those people and without fail preached the Gospel, I really wouldn't call that cowardice, if he was a coward he wouldn't even be there. Also, who cares it he was judgemental? The Bible clearly states that if a human is not guilty in a sinful area he is qualified to judge others. If we do not judge others, how can we know each others faults? Am I perfect? No I am not but it's only through others judging me that I became aware of my faults. It's such a shame that getting to know God has become so ruined by Satan, all God truly wants is for people to get to know him, he doesn't want you to suffer nor be at the hands of evil, he just wants to bless you and guide you to salvation, yes it can be hard and feel like a trial but it's worth it to have God in your life. Take care and God Bless.
This women... is whats wrong with America. Plain and simple. It's people like this that defends the devil and hates the truth of the gospel. This is why this country and going down the toilet.
He's absolutely right. If she thinks that her "living her life" in a manner that others will see Christ and come to him is enough, she's dead wrong. Yes, we are called to live a life that exalts Him, but how many people in your day to day life do you have enough contact with that it will make a difference? People need to hear the Word of God, not just bump into "good people" now and then.
I think Todd did a good job. There will always be those that disagree and all we can do is pray for them. I did feel especially bad for this young woman. I don't know if she truly didn't understand what Todd was trying to say, or if she did finally 'get it' and she didn't know how to process this new information. Thanks for what you are doing out there Todd.
She cries because Holy Spirit convicts her from sin. as David Wilkerson said: “What is it about tears that should be so terrifying? the touch of God is marked by tears...deep, soul-shaking tears, weeping..."
Oh please. She's not "convicted of her sin", she's calling out an asshole preacher who thinks perpetual repentance & faith & submission is the only way to be a true christian. Leave it to evangelicals to attempt to call others false christians because they go about it differently.
kylechicago8189 It is the ONLY way. You cannot be saved unless you do repent and have faith that Christ died and rose again, and will return. You do submit your life to Christ, that is what being a Christian is about. The Bible gives clear instructions on this. You can't just "go about it differently", that is the problem with society...do what ever makes you feel good. You can't sugarcoat it, it wasn't meant to be easy...read.
Sherry Blanton It's the 21st century, sweetheart. You CAN go about ANYTHING differently. It's always funny when conservative christianity refuse to change with modern society & culture, yet are the first to balk when the world moves on without them. This is why folks like Rob Bell piss off old timey hellfire preachers like MacArthur or Piper: Bell modernizes while the others stay stagnant. It's no wonder we atheists have it in for certain stripes of christianity. Evangelicalism is nothing but calvinism with slightly prettier packaging. Both use hell and repentance as veiled threats to the gullible in an attempt to gain more "followers". You call living that under that loving? I call it oppression paired with a bit of Pascal's Wager.
😉👍Todd a great job and very well executed and informatively explained in every way provided and detail necessary in proclaiming God's holy Word for what it truly is and what it truly says for all to be saved. And my prayers go out to this young lady to come to the true understanding of God's holy Word 🙏 🙌.
Meli Saubuluti Hardly. This "preacher" is terrible and make christians look bad. You should scorn him like you folks do with any other false preachers.
***** "I know your not smart but just think about this," Says the jesus freak who can't spell or punctuate. "Jesus preached the word to people, some agreed and followed and others hated him. " I don't hate Jesus, but I also don't believe any of the bullshit that either the bible or jesus freaks are so naive to buy into. I do have a massive issue with the die-hard evangelical jesus freaks out there. "All real Christians will be hated just as Jesus was for telling the truth." If you just kept your faith to yourself, and your mouths shut, maybe you wouldn't catch so much shit from we atheists. "why can't the sinners just listen to the word and keep moving, " Because " the word" is absolutely bullshit. Thinking for yourself, and not what some stupid fucking old book tells you isn't a crime. You should try it sometime. "because they know they are wrong and they refuse to accept the truth" Wrong according to whom? Your silly bible and god? Hardly. "That lady is clearly a friend of the world because she doesn't want to preach it...we are here to please God, not man." Why the fuck does she have to preach at all? Let her worship her god the way she chooses. And no, Man IS NOT here to please god. If anything, god should be worshiping us because god is a man-made concept. The sooner you ditch god, the sooner you'll see how better your life is.
+kylechicago8189 Wow! what a bunch of hateful comments! God created everything and you say He should worship us? We were created in his image . Genesis 2: 26- to 28 How arrogant! May God forgive you for your blasphemy and may the Holy Spirit guide you to the truth : which is Jesus. why do we need a picture of God? If we were to see His glory we would be consumed by His Holiness, because we are so sinful. Genesis 3: 8 they hid from the Lord because I they knew they had done wrong, just like our children when they misbehave, we are God's children and we are behaving like spoiled brats who are turned against their parent. May God guide and bless you.
She's either with GOD or against GOD she cannot be acting like she is a good person and knowing that those people need to hear the gospel. She wanted it be presented with respect where does she get that from .she is afraid of the truth . She can't preach or tell Jesus publicly that is why she wanted to stop the brother .shame ..
+anglomik And you're just another one of those douchey little *Jesus-tool blatherers*. So? She at least has a FRAGMENT of sense and reality to bring to the table. All you have are your pew pamphlets that you brainlessly parrot like the mindless little lemming you are. Go figger.
People just hate Jesus. She might be a saved person, but she appears to be slightly ashamed... The Bible says: "If you deny me in front of your friends I'll deny you before my father." So it's like you are faking your Christianity. God days go spread the Gospel and if stating it as the facts is wrong..then how do we do it? The Bible says: "Some save with fear pulling them out of the fire, hating even the agreement spotted by the flesh." Sometimes scaring them is how it works, but that's not with all people. My sister is lost, and if the only way she could be saved was for me to die, I'd die
I'm sorry about your sister, but there's still time.... now, if you knew your dead not only wouldn't save her, but would put her even further from God, would you still die for her? because that's the point of the girl in the video. This preaching has shown not to help for most people, but to put them more and more away from God :(
DonnaQuijota I don't think it does. I think if we are silent entirely about it, they are NEVER going to find out. The Bible says: But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:3-12. If we don't give that Gospel in some way, it's hidden from them. Preaching out in teh open isn't wrong and whether I took them aside or not, it wouldmore than likely be the same reaction because they have been blinded. Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. PREACH not just live it. We are supposed to verbally enunciate the cruciality of living in sin so people come to Christ. These are Jesus' words, last time I checked, He was never wrong. And if dying for my sister pushed her away, no I wouldn't do it, but I'd say that she is comepletely CRAZY to rebel against God.
that's the point. if preaching (like this guy, in public places; emphasizing in God's anger) is putting people away, maybe we should think of different means. it's 2016, there are millions of ways of spreading a word and delivering messages to people. there's a wide range between shouting to random people that God is angry at them on a public park and "silenting the gospel entirely ". A guy blindly preaching whatever to whoever is either not careing for other people's soul but just showing off or being selfish, or being lazy on thinking of an effective way of getting.people to think seriously about God and the afterlife...
DonnaQuijota I have never seen him prwach angrily, but itis good to let people know that God's wrath DOES abide upon them. (John 3:36:He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.) How do you win people to Christ?
Andrew McMillan same way you win people for anything else... I don't know... a radio show, an article on a magazine, a website, just to mention a few means.... and also, emphasizing on His love and not His anger.... so people won't come to God because they fear Him, but because they love Him.... When you love somebody, you won't want to hurt him, because you just don't want to.... not because you fear that he'll go mad.... it should be the same here... it is about love in the FIRST place..... On the other hand, a more effective way, for what I've seen, is with works... people tend to get interested on religion when they see religious people carrying that love in the shape of good works... but, at the end of the day.... the truth is that it is extremely hard to get an adult person who is angry with God to go back to Him :( that's why we should be much more careful and, at least! make an effort not to push them further... even when we feel desperated, be patient, pray a lot, and try to make it clear for them that, even if there were no hell out there, you would still, always, chose to follow God's commands and that nobody is pushing you there, not even God (who actually gave you free will to chose!)
ramalamadingdization I know! And they get caught taking hard drugs and fucking prostitutes,turn around and say "I'm weak,the devil entered me,boo hoo!", and morons feel pity for them and throw them MORE cash. Crazy,man.
This guy is right. We need to warn them. Some people like this woman simply cannot accept the fact that love is about warning people, love is not about telling them how they are good people.
He's not warning people. He's being a judgmental prick whilst hiding behind that stupid fucking bible. It doesn't help his case when he condemns others on how they worship "god". It's both shitty and unnecessary.
kylechicago8189 There might be some people that have not understood the gospel clearly. He is telling them about it. He judges them according to the Bible.
My point exactly! Not only is he hiding behind his bible, he relies on it to formulate opinions that aren't his own. In other words, he's just parroting.
My point is he's a crazed bible thumper who criticizes those who worship god in a different way than him. My point is this guy makes you (other christians) look bad and you should distance yourself from that. Honestly, I think jesus freaks should shut up, keeping your faith and that bullshit so-called gospel to yourself. I just think it's even worse when you're a judgmental dick hiding being a bible to do it.
We are all in rebellion against God until we repent and are saved and she is a perfect example. I can’t even compare my new Life in Christ with how frustrated I used to be. When I let God take the reigns everything changed. I never knew the peace I feel now. I go to bed relaxed and wake up knowing Jesus is protecting me and it’s going to be a good day no matter what comes my way. You can’t put a price on that and you will find it nowhere else except through Christ.
I agree with the preacher. We can't sugarcoat or soft tone the gospel...people's lives are on their way to hell...sometimes we have to speak the truth bluntly....
This pastor makes me sick, this is why Christian are bigots, this man is pointing the finger at people, when all he's doing is pointing the finger at himself, and he is a fire and brimstone stone bible thumping preacher. Smh typical Evangelical 🌇🌆🌆🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
If my house is burning I do not want someone to stand outside and whisper softly ...your house is on fire! If I'm on my way to hell...somebody better shout me down!!! until I get it!! If I'm to get it that is...not all will make it in! Yet Jesus says it's not his desire that any should perish! 2Peter 3:9 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The man remained calm and indeed was right, I know what that woman was trying to say, but she should go home and read her bible more before trying to 1 up a verteran lol
Maybe he knows his Bible too well. The scribes and Pharisees knew it off by heart. I think she knows the heart of God - trumps bible knowledge every time.
spoonfulofdreams I'm not sure they knew the Scriptures all too well. (Mark 12:24). They didn't recognise their own Messiah, who fulfilled numerous prophecies of old. And the problem with the Pharisees was actually that they were hypocrites (Luke 12:1) and did not practice what they preached. The Lord would never condemn knowledge of His Word. It may well be that the Pharisees knew Scripture, but they obviously didn't understand it, as Jesus constantly had to clarify and explain. The Bible places great importance upon understanding (Prov. 8:1), and I think that it is understanding that modern (and old-time) preachers often lack. Furthermore, I do not believe that woman knows the heart of God, at least judging from what she said. For me she is a prime example of today's apostate "Christianity". She claims that God loves those people, but she has a sort of worldly, sentimental concept of love. I do not know what she makes of Psalms 11:5: The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul HATETH. While I too disagree with the preacher on his methods, it is for entirely other reasons. "I think she knows the heart of God - trumps bible knowledge every time." It might very well be that she knows the heart of another god, namely because she lacks Bible knowledge of the true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Again, I don't know what's in her heart, but it seems to me like that she wants to take the offence away from the Gospel. As soon as the Gospel is made attractive to sinful man, it has lost its essence and is no longer the Gospel. I do believe people need to hear more of God's wrath and judgment, instead of being fed suger-coated sentimentalites about how God loves them and accepts them just as they are. What this generation lacks is fear of God, and it needs to be instilled into people somehow. God bless!
Yana Nikolova The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom but that's fear that comes from respect and knowledge rather than a simple fear of consequences. God's love is tied into his holiness and though many are attracted to God this is a massive barrier because without accepting his holiness they cannot know his grace. To see the message of love as an easy option is short sighted. Who wouldn't run from a burning house but what if its a drug den and you want a fix? God says "I love you too much to see you throw your life away like this". One problem for me is that I've seen numerous hell fire preachers who are full of hate, prejudice and bigotry. Their claim to love the sinner yet hate the sin is simply a self-righteous smokescreen. Don't you remember Jesus saying he came for the sick, not the healthy? He condemned those who had their morality sorted and could only criticise those they saw as 'sinners'. Jesus sought out the sinners and first gave them a message of hope before challenging their behaviour. By example he showed them the difference between holiness and moralism. This generation is lost. They see more holiness in agnostics than Christians. There is corruption all around (including the church) that is robbing the poor and disenfranchised and here we are condemning people for misdemeanours.
people want their own version of the gospel so they can continue in their selfish lives.. that will lead them to hell... The truth convicts and cuts like a duble edge sword.. people hate the true Word of God (KJV) it is the true salt and light that will reveal all lies you feed yourslef
+popacap21 Its all crap..theres no heaven or hell just energy and now.. that's it..In the name of religion has caused hundreds of millions of deaths ..and thosands of wars.
+popacap21 Brother, I couldn't have said it better myself. We both know and except the truth of The Gospel. But are we endowed with the courage and conviction to share it with the ungodly and the mockers? We all need to be soldiers of Christ Jesus. For if we fail to do so, then how many more souls shall be lost to the abyss? Stay strong and God bless.
notice he didn't launch into a judgemental tyrade at this woman and say she is going to burn in hell - if only some of the commenters on here could do the same, it's unbelievable.
The woman epitomizes this wishy washy Laodicean Christianity. Thoughtless, dead, self-obsessed, and contrary to the Truth. Her ears are not being tickled and that upsets her.
Discerning and judging are total different points. Judging would to look at a person in common clothes and calling them a bum without knowing anything about them. Discerning is being careful of who you believe or associate with. Romans 2:1 describes this person perfectly.
that girl is back sliding on the words coming out of her mouth...she wants to please the world before telling them truth.... too many Christians like her in the world, she loves people but don't want to offend them with the truth... Hell is real don't go there.
Jesus told us to love people...love our neighbor as ourselves! I don't understand Christians who think they have to insult people, or scare people into the kingdom! It's obnoxious, and portrays spiritual pride and arrogance. And, there is no such thing as "backsliding." That's a pentecostal term...it does not exist in scripture (in fact the "concept" of backsliding is not in scripture) and it's judgmental.
THURZA HEIM when I use the term backsliding I mean going away form God's word after you are saved. So yes there is such a thing. and if you don't tell people the truth because you don't want to look bad or because you feel you look obnoxious you will have the Lord to answer too... it's his love you are to share with the world not your personal feelings on what people think... think of God first not what you LOOK like...think on what they have to lose and tell them. amen have a God bless day sister. and I am not Pentecostal I am a Christian first meaning God's word comes first.
If we love the people enough we would rather become small and hated then not telling them the truth. Just as Jesus did. just as all the profets did. That is what we do rather then comforting them while they need to surrender to Jesus. Its not about strenghtening sinners in their sin but showing them their state so they might run to Jesus. It is not about being loved it is about telling them what they need to know. Not about what they like to know. The bible warns not to strenghten sinners. i see a man here very humble who understands very well that if he wants to serve the master he is also going to be hated.
Niels Ophuis so true brother to many are looking for the world to approve of God's word before tell it. and the rest will tell people only what they want to hear. what we are left with is empty words for itchy ears
Morgan More So your interpretation of Paul's statement in 2 Timothy 4:3 means that unless we are abrasive, insulting or obnoxious, we haven't preached "sound doctrine.?" The gospel message can/should be presented in a way that draws people. What kind of a relationship would a parent and child, husband and wife or friends have if the only reason to have that relationship is fear of torture? And considering the present day culture we have, is randomized "street preaching" really an effective way to preach the gospel? There are so many kooks out there. I've heard lots of street preachers, and some of them say really crazy things. Our most effective witness is the way we live out the gospel in our everyday lives! That is worth much more than words! If one lives in America, one can hardly get though a day without hearing something about Christ. The gospel is all over radio, TV, internet...there are churches everywhere. But most of all, there are Christians everywhere...living out the gospel and sharing the gospel with whomever they come in contact. Bottom line, it isn't, necessarily, the message this man is preaching, but the way in which it is being given. That's why I agree with the woman's criticism.
She sees him as "fire and brimstone" because he unashamedly speaks the clear truth. But he's sooo far from fire and brimstone. He's kind and loving in his way of speaking.
Phillo127 I agree there are many ways to serve the Lord also in James it says not everyone should be teachers. But personally I really want to be one. An evangelist/missionary. God bless
She wants to please people with a gushy gospel - a gospel about the god of her own understanding. He wants to tell them the true Gospel - a Gospel from the Bible directed by GOD. She feels convicted by what she's hearing and projects her feelings onto the crowd and tries to gather support from them, even though they hate the true Gospel and the God behind it. I'd be interested to find out which ministries she listens to. I'm certain it will be something like Joseph Prince or Rob Bell.
Those are terrific ministries! Since when is the Gospel supposed to be obnoxious? I recommend you read C.S. Lewis's "The Great Divorce." It presents (IMO) an interesting picture of hell....a much different concept than the traditional "hell-fire and brimstone" picture. Bell's "Love Wins" is a compelling book...he opines that Christians should hope and pray that there isn't an eternal torture chamber awaiting those who chose to reject God. Why do so many Christians seem to wish for that?
THURZA HEIM Christians should hope and pray that there isn't an eternal torture chamber awaiting those who chose to reject God? Why would we hope and pray eternal punishment isn't real if God has already told us it is real? We hope and pray no one ends up there and that is precisely why it MUST be included in the message we share with others. Preach Christ and warn of the consequences of rejecting Him. That's is the WHOLE message...
THURZA HEIM I'm afraid you are as blinded as the girl in this video. What Rob Bell says is irrelevant if in contradicts what GOD's word says. Why should Christians wish that hell doesn't exist if a Holy GOD has said it does exist...for who? Those who have rejected HIS word, HIS grace, HIS love and HIS Son. HE doesn't want them to go there - that's why HE sent his Son and inspires men to record and preserve HIS word. You are following men, not GOD, because GOD convicts you, but men like Bell and Prince tickle your ears with things that sound right, but are really contrary to the what the Bible has said. Choose this day whom you will serve...
RPM11111 I do know whom I serve. There are many references to "hell" in the Bible. It appears the "lake of fire" is prepared for the devil & his angels. Hell is separation from God. Could a God really be described as "loving" if He resorted to "eternal torture" for His creatures, the one's he created because of His great Love, just for choosing not to love Him in return (which is the glorious hallmark of a truly loving God--to give your creatures the "choice" to love or not to love)? If we are to relate to God as our "Loving Father," what EARTHLY father would see to it a disobedient child was tortured, with no end?? No, hell is God respecting the choice of one of His creatures not to love Him, so he grants eternal separation--outside of His Presence for ever! We can't even imagine what that would be like! I caution you Christians who want to present God as a tyrant! Think about it...God's Glory is that He is ALL-Powerful, and He chooses to LIMIT His Power for the sake of His LOVE!
THURZA HEIM said "Think about it...God's Glory is that He is ALL-Powerful, and He chooses to LIMIT His Power for the sake of His LOVE!" I agree, because of the grace and love HE shows toward men, GOD limits the use of HIS power to meet the counsel of HIS will. However, in the entire verse you are referring to (Matt 25:41), Jesus says "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, 'depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels'." Who are those "on the left"? Do you think that GOD, who gave HIS only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, is somehow not going to fulfill what HE had Him say regarding the outcome of those who reject what GOD has done to Save HIS people? The warning is part of the act of love - "GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9b)", but HE doesn't force us to love HIM and receive Jesus as our Saviour.
What works best. Obey God not getting people to like you. Love you man and you were so kind to another believer that out of everyone in the crowd she needed to hear you the most imagine that. ❤️ praise God for saving you to proclaim truths that not all will accept. Having people like you is more dangerouse for the believer and them. That's why churches are falling they would rather be liked then actually trying to rescue them.
This woman reflects the feelings of many believe that profess to believe in God. That warm, cozy feeling of attending a church once or twice a week and just 'being nice' to others and occasionally letting it slip that she's a Christian. Begs the question 'Does she really believe that Jesus died for her and is she saved'? Her reaction leads me to presume that she is not.
I personally think....after LISTENING to this video that....the young lady is lost (backslid) herself & wants to "nicely" judge the evangelist & trying to take his focus away on TRULY preaching the message of Jesus & salvation. God have mercy on her & us. She needed to just stay quiet & listen of not.
I agree with you the word of Elohim(God)is truly a double edge sword. It cut's both ways. When people start getting convicted of their sins they start to manifest. The word of Elohim is no respector of person's, it will expose the darkness in any one. Those covered by the blood of Yahshua(Jesus) to the Unsaved. I hope all the believer's in the messiah can come to an agreement on one thing and the taking the message of salvation into all of the four corners. And please let us edify and pray for one another. This Brother already has many gainsayers already comming against him. Along with all the uncircumcised in heart gentile pagan an idol worshippers . Shalom alaykim to those in the body of the messiah,who are truly covered by the blood atone of Yahshua(Jesus)
@ Jamie, lol, I'm not even gonna think that's an insult, it's funny heehee...Jesus loves you. efrayim100 The Holy Spirit gave impression in my spirit that the enemy used her to try to take his focus away from preaching the Gospel, even with all those "tears" and the innocent look. Thank you for sharing brother...Shalom and Be blessed in the name of Jesus.
I love how evangelicals bitch about people judging them yet are the first ones to complain how others are "backsliders" and "heathens". What evangelicals really are are a bunch of god damn hypocrites, hiding behind a bible to cast aspersions and - oh wow - judge. Just because this woman doesn't adhere to your standard of particular christian worship means her faith is any less important or valid. If anything, it shows that a more reasonable,logical and progressive perspective simply makes more sense than strict antiquated biblical doctrine. You know, the one that doesn't always require jesus freaks to bible thump everyone & put aside the hellfire preachiness.. Thankfully, Friel (the preacher in the video) and his ilk are a dying breed . Quickly, I must add. Talking about a so-called god that only hates Man unless the ENTIRE planet "repents" only proves all the more how illogical and non-existent it really is. Is it any wonder even batshit crazy preachers like Pat Robertson distance themselves from evangelicalism because of its incompetence & incoherent logic.
Roberto Perez you're welcome brother, and that's exactly right. I'm laughing like crazy how these demon infested people on here, wanting to argue and make statements for conversation. Every time they open their mouth filth and uncleaness comes out. Proving their blinded by sin and darkness not knowing of the coming judgments coming on this planet. But demons will manifest,lmbo omg he he. When the word of Elohim is being spoken they will cuss,swear,blaspheme, ready to fight etc.Especially the sodomite and witchcraft spirits. Remember when Yahshua(Jesus) would begin to teach in the synagogues, the demon infested people would begin to cry out. Some begged him not to torment them before their time lmbo. And so we have it still happening today. They will say or do anything to try to keep the pure word of Elohim(God) from coming forth. I've seen them cry out during deliverance sessions and when the word is being taught. You stay blessed my brother and the blood of Yahshua(Jesus) covers you and all the saints on here covered by his blood. And keep ignoring those demon infested unclean spirits. when their only looking for an argument and making stupid statements. Me personally brother I don't entertain demons I cast them out in the name of Yahshua(Jesus) Shalom alaykim my friend.
I carn't believe she's a christian, & yet she is debating with the preacher about how he should preach the message. The Lord yells us to go out & share the good news about the gospel. Great job preacher! Keep up God's Work. God Bless!
If I was unsaved - then I would have chosen Todd's way. I may not have got saved at that very moment but his message would have stayed with me and eventually I would have repented and came to Christ. Todd was doing the right thing and the girl was even helping Todd. Thats the ironic thing.
She obviously never read about Jesus he consistently preached. And many people think if you explain how they are going to hell you are judging. But that isn't, true YOU are not judging God is and you are merely explaining the standard upon which He judges.
Yeah, 'cos god loves everyone unconditionally and hates sending good people like Ghandi to hell, but them's the rules!!! Who made up the rules again? I can't quite remember...no that's it, god made the rules...so he must like torturing Ghandi. ...and do you really think that you could enjoy heaven if you knew some of your friends and family, Ghandi were being tortured? Could you enjoy heaven if you knew that anyone was being tortured? The bible is morally corrupt, full of fundamental contradictions and historically inconsistent! Have you never read it all?
PortabledexterActually according to my world history class, the bible is the most viable source for Jewish history. To call the bible morally corrupt is to judge it on a moral scale that could not exist without God, morality requires human value and you do not get such value without an intrinsic worth derived from creation. You name Ghandi, are you aware he studied Christ to get his conclusion that the Indian people must fight the cast system? Yet he still denied Christ as God. Open rejection of your creator who has a supreme authority over life as He has created it places you in a rejected eternity. It was was Ghandi's choice just as it is yours.
Portabledexter First of all express some morals by not speaking with such vulgarity, for someone that thinks morals exist because of social traditions clearly you have proven you cannot be moral without a supreme authority to judge actions. Second your claims are pulling bible out of context, there is no bible for such immoral acts, Christians are against abortions, were the first to challenge and defeat slavery, both puritans and Quakers were against it and they were the two largest protestant groups to come over to what would become America, just two examples of how Christians live different than what you claim the bible condones, either you are taking it out of context or all Christians are ignoring biblical truth. Also, explain to me how morals derive from a natural system? If ancient civilizations were responsible how would you hold anyone accountable for a moral system that is contrary and created through their own social traditions? You cannot live consistently. If there is no absolute moral system than how do you universally judge for any actions? For instance the east believes that the western world is the greatest evil in the world and the only way to achieve peace is if they are eliminated, how do you achieve peace through moral relativity? Only if there is a universal system of morality can you hold them accountable and achieve peace. Historians disagree read, 'understanding world societies vol.1' textbook, to see you are absolutely incorrect my college course taught the bible to be historically accurate, historians do not debate this, unless they are outside the sphere of knowledge and ignore the evidence.
Portabledexter in addition, most other religions do not present such a moral systems. Since most religions claim exclusivity it would take religious research to figure which exclusive religion is correct. Just because they each claim truth does not mean they cannot be measured and one single religion cannot be correct.
You have obviously been brainwashed. For example, in the birth story of jesus historians dispute: That Herod was in power at the time That a census was called That during a census (which it well documented that they did have census's at the time) people had to travel to their home town to register. ...and these are just three of many. Suggesting that I read some bias textbook for school children to find out the 'truth' just because that is all you know is laughable at best and mildly insulting at worse, so no harm done there. You accuse me of acting immorally for using vulgar language. Words in themselves are not immoral and should not cause offense. The context in which I used them was to emphasise various points in a way that other language fails to do. For example FFS has no equivalent phrase of the same impact. To paraphrase Stephen Fry "people who are offended by swearing are fucking idiots". A quick lesson: Humans need to live in communities to survive. A single human on its own is basically a free lunch. Therefore we have always lived in groups or tribes out of necessity. If a tribe had no basic morals such as do not kill each other and don't steal from each other then they would not survive very long, and their genes would not be passed on. We have therefore evolved to have a social nature through natural selection, and this includes having morals. As for christians ignoring biblical 'trith', you have hit the nail squarely on the head. If you actually read the whole bible (and actually think about what you are reading) there are loads of bits that christians ignore because it is morally wrong. How you decided this because you claim the bible to be the source of your religion and morals, is exactly the same way that atheists work out what is right and wrong ie. not by following the bible. In other words the bible is often wrong morally. How can you still believe the other bits? Also you state that christians are against abortion as the correct moral stance, not because you have weighed up the pros and cons based on studies and reason, but because the same book that tells you to stone a rape victim to death told you so. This is not an acceptable viewpoint. The same stupid assumption is then made against stem cell research, of which there is no real moral argument against (at least abortion has two valid arguments to discuss), and this is slowing down one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs ever. This means that the bible is responsible for the deaths of many people who could have been saved. You have already admitted that you choose to ignore some moral teachings of the bible, so I put it to you: If the bible is of devine inspiration and morals are given by god, who the fuck are you to decide when god is right and when he is wrong? (Did you like the use of swearing to emphasise the last point? It wouldn't have the same impact if other language was used!). Kind regards.
She is judging you for not being kind and merciful enough. She'd do it some other personal way that is less offending to anyone. May the Lord bless her and she can really lead some people to Christ in her own way. On the other hand, I praise you for being bold and courageous to preach on the street. Personally I have not done that, but if I do get a chance, I will love to shout it into the mic and tell people how much God loves them, and how much Gods heart is hurting seeing them walking down the road of destruction. You know, even if just one out of a hundred hear and respond to your message, it's still worth it, even when there are people shouting you down!
I think Todd spoke to her in a way she understood and it scared her to confront the truth
That's a good thing
exactly
True
Yeah, that’s what the tears were.
She’s crying because he hit home… and she low key knows it…but is in denial… pray for her
She said 99% don't care what he is preaching but that 1% might hear the word of God and might change their lives.
Amen
and that 99% will go to hell if they don't have a relationship with Jesus. easy as that.
Yah, and Noah was called a "preacher of righteousness" as he was God's servant in that day. Only the 8 (his family) made it through the flood, all others were destroyed in the flood. Could you imagine if he just built the boat for himself and family while living a Godly life? At least he tried to warn the people and give them a chance for hope. Bet they wanted in the ark after God shut the door of the ark and the rain fell.
Funny enough that one 1% could have been her. Her soul was feeling conviction right at that moment. But yashua said the heart and mind of people are easily deceived and full of evil.
God's Word Never Comes Back Void. ISAIAH 55:11.
I was pretty much the same as that woman. I thought that to get people to accept and know God, I had to conform to their world views and try to fix them from that through their world view. I really thought like that. for 2 years. After watching this guy preach, how wrong I was. You dont change the gospel to suite other people, you change people to suite the gospel. This is salvation, you cant be lukewarm or God will spit you out.
I realized that you cant go around aimlessly, checking other religions and beliefs for signs of God in them. You must have a strong doctrine and foundation. THe foundation which is the good news, the salvation of God for all people.
well said Kiko!
Im proud of what u just said, its ironic coz people wont percieve that instantly and that my friend is wisdom :>
#truth. God bless you.
watching this video made me really think about how much I don't tell people about God. There was something she said that caused me to think and it was this: she said that what he is doing isn't causing them to want the gospel. And all I could think is, they don't want it in the first place. They are God-haters. They are dead in their flesh. I felt so much for that girl, and I should pray for her.
Well said!
That poor poor women is so lost in her ways and beliefs.
I pray that this conversation brings her closer to our Lord and Savior
amen ×3!
Sounds like she doesn't want any soul to be lost to me actually... She wants the gospel preached in love.. I get her heart
@@janinefontaine-lyons5840 yes, that's God's heart. The guy was self- righteous, so he had to show him the truth. Like Jesus did with a rich man, like God did with Job
@@JustJeph33 He isn't being self- righteous, he's saying we're all guilty. We're all on more of an equal playing field that many realize.
The girl is so self righteous she can't see her own in un righteousness
I love the way Todd asks questions to fight the argument. That’s the best way to argue because it’s their own word against them. Good job Todd!!!

I wish I was brave to preach like Tod
you'd be amazed @ the boldness God gives you when you open your mouth to speak of Him. Pray Eph. 6:19-20
Ditto
Study and when your equip courage will come
Have faith brother, pray for courage if it is what you seek
*Todd* fyi like god but with an extra D
I was facing death when I was in the hospital. I was contemplating what was going to happen to me when I die? I was reflecting on my life, all the things that I had looked at, from eastern philosophies, drinking and drugging etc.. So again I asked what happens when I die? At that moment I saw in my minds eye a vision of total blackness, blacker than any the denseness of coal . Also I felt a loneliness that was beyond description. The vision Scared me so badly I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end.I thought this was hell and I need to find out who this Jesus is. God at that moment sent my uncle to me. I hadn’t seen in over 15 years. He asked me if I wanted to know who Jesus is. That was over 40 years ago when I accepted Christ. If God never told me through a vision that I was going to hell, I would have never turned to the Lord. I knew my vision I saw was of hell, because when I read2Peter 2:17 he described the future reserved for sinners “ these people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. Jesus spoke on hell more than he did on heaven. He did not shy away speaking on it in fear of driving away converts on the contrary it drew more people to His church.
Amen
That woman was infuriating! How can she come up and DISCOURAGE a preaching of the Gospel?! People NEED to hear the Good News whether they will accept it or not, whether it is offensive to them or not. I applaud this man (I don't know his name because this is the first video I've watched of his) for doing what he was commanded to do by our Lord Jesus Christ!! These nominal Christians really are sooooo lost and they have no idea what it means to be a true follower of Jesus. I pray that the woman in this video realizes her error and asks for forgiveness!!
You only believe what you do because your parents told you to believe. If you were born in Iran, I'll bet you would have a different conviction. Science has disproved every religious text. Just try for once to search for truth. I urge you to listen to Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. I am not ridiculing you so don't take it as such. I am begging for you to gather information and reach a scientific conclusion. You will be in even more awe of the cosmos.

37parman - My "parents told me to believe?" You are so foolish to presume all these things. My parents were not even strong Christians. My mom went to church to socialize with her friends mainly and my dad never went to church at all. So aside from a few visits to church as a kid, I didn't grow up as a Christian. In fact, all my life I looked for the truth and by God's grace, He brought me into His truth… Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Chris Hitchens?? You follow fools- because only fools believe there is no God. They are mere men. I follow the Almighty God and trust in His word. "Science disproves every religious text?" Oh my…. Does science disprove HISTORY?? The bible is based on HISTORICAL evidence and eyewitness accounts. Even Richard Dawkins cannot refute the historicity of Jesus. Why do atheists think that science negates faith in God?? God CREATED science…. The bible says that fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom. I pray you fear the Lord.

Sorry; Jesus declares the terms of entrance into Heaven; not You or some unsaved individual :(
+Mike Panocatapolis (Not boba fett) It breaks her heart because he is the kind of person that is judgmental, and scares people away thinking that it's too hard to make it to heaven. This is not the way Jesus approached the people, we are to be imitators of Jesus, and approach with LOVE, not condemnation. There is repentsnce, and that is one of reasons why God sent His son, because we are saved by Grace!! No one but God will judge, especially this idiot, pardon my french, that is steering people away from the gospel. He needs to get a different job, or he is the one that's going to be judged harshly be God!! OUCH!!
Sandra Gonzalez The difference between Your lovey-dovey 'lovely message' approach, which is atypical of the emergent institutionalised church; and Todd's balanced 'Message of Love' approach, is TRUTH.
TRUTH is the ONLY reference point to Love (1 Corinthians 13:6)
Without a change in direction through REPENTANCE of sin, because of unbelief in God's reconciliatory Gospel Message, each reprobate individual has an automaton appointment with HELL.
Todd has the right balance: NOBODY DESERVES GOD'S GRACE of New Life!!
deksper Derek the true fool is one who values belief over reason. I am sure you would fit into that category. evangelizing is preaching, preaching is a form of prayer.
That conviction is hitting HARD...spirit is working in her I hope she has accepted Christ
If the people around Jesus weren't offended by Him, they wouldn't have nailed Him to a cross. Being good alone isn't enough, you have to be born again. Which is why The Roman Centurion, a man with a whole household of good people, had to be born again!!!

That is the problem with all of us christians , we hide that we are christians! Love you ! Great job, you explained it to her right! THANK YOU JESUS!
Milica Djukich Jesus never taught his disciples to preach the a gospel, this is what Paul was doing.
Why not instead of making this nonsense up, look up every verse where Yahowsha errantly called Jesus spoke concerning how one is to attain eternal life. Leave your Pauline doctrines at the door and you might learn something about Yahowah's will for mankind.
Understand the following words were never written out nor to be understood as conveyed in a verse in all of scripture: Church, gospel, Jesus, Christ, Holy, communion wafer, bible, Jehovah, Jew, Easter, Lent, Christmas, Old or New covenant or testament, worship of Yahowah or Yahowsha, praying to Yahowah or Yahowsha.
With the above understood how could there be a Christian church established by the coming of Yahowsha? Or for that matter a new covenant?
I sotac Jesus when he went to heaven after his resurrection, told the apostles, GO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION, HERE IN SAMARIA, JERUSALEM AND THE PARTS OF THE WORLD, HEAL THE SICK, DRIVE OUT DEMONS, AND RAISE THE DEAD and than the end will come! Jesus did not say that? Yes he did say all of that! AND ISRAEL IS FOREVER!
Milica Djukich No actually if you read that verse from the oldest Greek manuscript it does not say that. He said to seek only the lost children if Israel. Go read the verse again.
You might notice Yahowsha said also give freely what I have first given you.
What message would the walking talking Torah give his disciples?
How is it that 17 years later a fellow name Paul is summoned to Jerusalem to explain his completely different gospel of Gratia?
How is it this same self proclaimed apostle thought he could rebuke those hand picked by Yahowsha?
Go read Gal. 1,2, and 3 and compare with Matt. 5,6, and 7.
Why do you think Christians are Israel?
Where did Yahowah say He was to send the lamb to tear all the promises from Israel and place them on the new Christian church created by Paul?
Quote a verse from the Torah, Prophets, or Psalms to make your point, or be my quest quote something from the lips of Yahowsha or one of his 12 taught ones.
***** Duh!
***** But you don;t get it a person can be forgiven for doing any sin, and I mean any sin no matter what it is, Paul was forgiven and JESUS said himself he was going to use him, and he did, Paul wrote most of the NEW TESTAMENT! The LORD uses who he wants! Have a wonderful day!
Great job bro. You clearly presented scripture to her in a patient way. She's terrified of confronting people with truth.
Brother I loved your live presentation and the way of preaching bro. your are blessed & anointed man of God. I believe open air preaching can only bring change to the minds of common people like me the matter most is to become a new creation let's pray to Almighty God,- Our Heavenly Father make us all new person in the image of Jesus which we know thatthis is Your Will today in this perishing world that is why Jesus said : "I am the way, the Truth & the Life, no one comes to the Father but through Me" Amen & Amen.
After reading from the Holy Bible Titus Ch3:9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies & arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.10 Warn a divisive person once, & then warn him a second time. Ater that have nothing to do with him. 11 You may be sure that such a man is wraped & sinful; he is self-condemned. And Jesus said : "Everyone will hate you because of me. Whoever holds out to the end will be saved."(Mark13:13) "Do not lose courage, then because it brings withit great reward. You need patience to God's will & receive what He has promised." "Happy are those whose sins are forgiven, and whose wrongs are pardoned."(Ps.32:1) "Some however did receive Jesus and believed in Him; so He gave them the right to become God's Chrildren."(Jn.1:12)
PROMISE OF JESUS - Whoever believes in Jesus can fil his heart everyday with the Holy Spirit- the life giving water. He will also receive the grace to lead many to Jesus who is the source of this "lifegiving water" And now those filled with this Holy Spirit will: 1.Experience God's love. 2.Receive the Gift of prayer, and the power to understand the inner meaning of God's Word. 3.Obtain peace of mind, self control, the grace of endurance, the power to love & to forgive. 4.Receive the most precious gift of becoming a new creation in Christ Jesus.(like St Paul) above all be committed to Jesus and to the gospel. Who will go to Heaven?- Only those who does the "WILL OF GOD" by obeying the Laws & commandments of God. Even Jesus did the will of God our eternal Father to Bless us. We all know that Jesus Son of God became man to be the sacrificial offering for the atonement of the sins of this world.
Jesus said "I will never turn away anyone who comes to me." (John6:37)
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR EVERY ONE (YOU & ME)- Almighty God says:
"I know well the plans I have in mind for you. Plan for your welfare and not for your disaster, plans to give you a future full of hope, Then you will call to me, and I will find (Jer.29:11-14)
Yes, but Jonah was sent to an incredibly wicked nation; the Ninevites. And his ministry actually changed their hearts. We SHOULD preach while it is still day, for the night is fast approaching when no work will be done and then the end will come. then she will really have something to cry for.
I'm personally more terrified of the fact that there are more bigoted people out there than intelligent people.
***** Jesus said that He and the Father are one, John 10:30, and something very similar in John 14:10. And Jesus referred to God as in heaven. Therefore because Jesus, who is one with God, is near, the kingdom of heaven was near. For God, who is in Heaven, is with Jesus. Matthew 12:50. By doing something like this we either are ignorant of this fact, which is still not good for Hosea 4:6, or we want to play the deceiver and hide in sheep's clothing by claiming we are GOD. so yeah, I'm not Christ and I am not God, I just point to them because i fall and sin. They do not fall, THEY HAVE NOT FALLEN for THEY AREA TRIUNE AND HOLY GOD! I deserve every bit of Hell, and because i know this i am terrified. but I'm more terrified of the one who made HELL and commanded me to preach the WHOLE GOSPEL to unbelievers, regardless of my results for God will be the ultimate planter, waterer and grower of HIS field, Matthew 13. He calls us out into that field to find the seeds that have grown and landed and heard what was preached, He calls some to go to the ones being choked by weeds, he calls some to go to those that the birds have taken away, he calls everyone who is in him to this field. So that the good soil can become full of good and healthy plants, being judged by the LAW that will send those not in the good soil to HELL, 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.. Matthew 7:15-19
Keep on preaching preacher. It is amazing that even "Christians" don't understand what The Bible says.
As nor the preacher. : )
MegaMalo. You obviously have no knowledge of the Christian religion. All the stuff you mention is in the Old Testament. It's the history of the Jews. Although it is part of the Christian Bible it is mostly that, a history lesson which includes the prophesies of Jesus Christ. The New Testament is the New Covenant that Christians abide by. It is the New Covenant and Jesus' teachings that drive Christians. You need to do your research.
David Smith Jesus said in the bible "I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill them" And that means the old testament. Your bible is full of madness from a psychotic god that you for some reason worship
You are wrong. You have no idea what you are talking about, but you actually make my point for me. When he says "I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill them" he is saying that he is fulfilling the multiple prophesies that the Old Testament has about him coming and invoking the NEW CONVENANT. In fact THE VERY REASON HE CAME WAS TO PUT US UNDER GRACE (BY HIM DYING ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS). We are no longer under the law. Under the law your sins are forgiven through animal sacrifices. Under grace we are covered by HIS sacrifice. You don't understand Christian beliefs even at its basic level!!!
David Smith That's hilarious. I thought god can't change? Clearly he changed from being an angry bloodthirsty being to a "compassionate" and "loving" being. Also Jesus meant the old LAWS not just prophecies, I used to study this stuff. And animal sacrifices? really? "Father I have committed a sin, so I will now kill an animal to make up for it". Sacrifices sound a lot like older gods that were created, and your god is no different. You have absolutely 0 proof your religion is remotely true
I think the preacher did an excellent job answering the woman's concerns in an intelligent, scriptural manner all the while keeping his own spirit under control. Well done. As for the woman, it is obvious that she is repeating something she was taught that is not scriptural. She would do well to spend more time in the word of God as it appears that she doesn't know the Jesus of the bible.
Hearing what she says, and her sincere humanity, I think if she did know the Jesus of the Bible, she'd have second thoughts about the whole thing.
The woman's "keep your head down and never argue with anybody" attitude is classic postmodern crap, but people who shake their fingers and yell over a crowd are jackasses only out to glorify themselves. If you seriously want to bring people around to *any* point of view it's far more productive to sit down with a smaller group and have a civil conversation about it than to stand out yelling at the top of your lungs at strangers passing by. People who take that approach are only feeding their own egoes.
LamiaDomina Hmmmm. well the bible says"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." Isaiah 25:1
Scottish Gold You can have productive discussions in public and with strangers without making an ass of yourself like this. Mixing spots like a campus smoking shelter are great for it. Conversing with people directly, staying level and civil, engaging in dialogue and answering questions will actually get people to listen to you. If you're serious about what you're preaching about that ought to be what matters, not how cool you think you look up on a milk crate looking down on others.
LamiaDomina You are partially correct. Phillip did that in Acts chapter 8 as an example to the Ethiopian. Stephen was stoned to death according to Acts chapter 9 while preaching in the street in Jerusalem at what is now called, "St. Stephen's gate." There are times to do both, but street preaching is scriptural. As for someone "making an ass of yourself" as you say, my answer to that would be 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."
There was a crowd around Jesus that didn’t like Him either and shouted “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” But he willingly and gladly died for each of them.
I think she was crying from the realization that you were right! And that at that moment she was looking at herself as the Christian she was not.
I think that you are absolutely correct!
very true, does she not know that Jesus talked more about hell than heaven?
Jesus called the Pharisees white washed tombs with dead mens bones in them full of all filth. I guess he wasn't being "polite" was he.
The logic bombs left fallout and she was infected by the fallout, she realized it and couldn't refute what she heard...that is why she cried.
My thoughts exactly. I think the Spirit was moving!
This girl is crazy. Poor thing, that's what satan wants people to behave like that .
You go preacher! The world needs people like you........
"You're breaking my heart" goodness me the entitlement and the cringe. 💀
Even my parents tell me if i do something wrong and warn me of the bad things😌
that's love
@@JustJeph33 💯
She is obviously one who tells people in their sins that "it's ok. God loves you." Instead of warning them of the judgment. Therefore, she will be standing next to them, weeping and gnashing her teeth in the judgment.
probably. But maybe she watched this and did some thinking/praying
Yep.look how they support the gay community.
We are told to love and to forgive and to not sin. That is all
@@tec-lea7712 we're told a lot more than that!

this women represents 95% of evangelical "X-tianity" in this country. it's quite sad.
this women needs prayer...and the gospel.
what todd did for this women is the most loving thing anyone will do in telling her the truth about the God she claims to serve. she's capitulating to the world through pragmatism in going with what makes people feel good instead what the Law of God says. she may not be a fire brimstone person, but God the Creator of all things is and will punish all those who suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness(rom 1:18). the reason people think the gospel is a message of hate is because they hate God and love their sin. the LORD God does indeed hate evildoers and will punish them with hellfire if they don't repent but God has also shown mercy to the world in sending Jesus Christ the God-man to take the punishment for those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord. there are some in that crowd who will hear the message of life, respond positively, and receive salvation from God in Jesus Christ who came to give life and life to the fullest. that is the message that todd is offering to this women and to the crowd.
What God hates, and how to escape wrath
Psalm 5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
1Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
God justly hates sinners, but offers them mercy and escape from wrath through Jesus, and His Cross.
Jim M
Indeed, I wish I wasn't slow of tongue, speech, and nervous to be a street preacher like Todd, ray, etc.. Doesn't matter if people get offended or makes them hate God more, the Gospel message saves those who he elects who hear it.
So without god we are a piece of shit basically
Matthew Setzer Without God you cannot say that rape is wrong/immoral, because it will be your opinion against somebody else's. In the absence of an objective moral standard, nothing can be called "good", "bad", "moral" or "immoral".
They were both right! I commend this man's faith and bravery to comfront the world head on and preach TRUTH. I commend the woman's love and compassion for people. Both of them would make a great team preaching the gospel if they came to agreement
The preacher is truly amazing 👏 God bless you 🙏 🤍💗🤍💗🤍💗
People want to hear "sugar-coated" preaching. They don't want to hear the truth. God have mercy on us.
Because your so-called truth is a bit bullshit. Telling people to "get right with god or else" is hardly a clever selling tactic. Not to mention, it's all incredibly silly. Feel free to believe in vengeful gods, eternal damnation and all the made up stories from the bible. The rest of the world would like to get on with their lives without worrying about non-existent gods.
The truth is difficult to grasp. I get it. So, you go ahead and continue to love and glorify yourself. It doesn't stop the fact that God loves you. Be blessed.
Tyrone Powell
I'm not glorifying myself. I'm living my life as happily and with little stress as possible. I never understood why you worship something that demands CONSTANT glorification,making you put aside all other aspects of your life in the process. Not only is your god a massive bully. s/he is also a raging egomaniac and narcissist. Until your god truly reveals itself and/or proves all the crap in the bible is true, it shan't get one ounce of respect from me.
I've heard plenty of unsupported assertions. If there is a God, then if I can see some real, tangible evidence of his existence, something which can't be interpreted in hundreds of ways, then I'll believe in him. All I've heard are assertions.
treehuggerkyle Have you seen the wind?
If the bridge ahead is out, you do not just sit in park and say 'people will see how I am and try to be like me'. You get out and scream. 'The bridge is out! You are driving too fast!. You are not judging them. You are telling them what actions will place them in peril. I can say 'you are a speeder and you do not use your brakes'. I am only identifying what they are doing. The judgment comes when they go over the edge of the bridge. I can say 'you are a blasphemer' and 'you will go to hell'. I have not judged, I can not send them to hell. I have only identified their error and warned them of the consequences. The judgment comes only if they fail to heed my warning.
quark boson Amen, well said!💯👑❤❤❤
Hey Mona, how are you?
Amen quark
quark boson amen to your words
I'm amazed at how many Christians hate on street preachers...
+joseph evangelist if we call "Christian" to people who go randomly to church, but yeah I'm agree with you
I'd say it's mostly a reaction to their being convicted
Samuel Hernandez Convicted... definitely!You ever seen a Ruben Israel video?(he's a street preacher). He's pretty controversial in his approach, but he said in the documentary about him ''You'd only be offended by what I say if it applied to you...''
Well you got Christians who can respect other people's beliefs weather they believe in another god, agnostic or atheist.
Than you got the ones like this who twist the bible to fit their needs, try to force their beliefs onto others and threaten you with hell if you don't agree with them or their religion.
How do you respect a lie?
He handled that so well and so much better than I could have ever, not to mention he always had the option to make her look like a fool and he chose not to
I wonder if the lady even KNEW the Gospel. Many people grow up in church and have never been born again. The preacher is right, just living your life in a nice way won't bring someone to Christ without the Gospel being preached...I mean, JW's and Mormons look like very "good" people; what if by their example, they brought you to their false Jesus? You would be just another nice person headed to Hell.
+gettinold2 There's no evidence of hell. You do know this, right? I think "deities," "heaven," & "hell" are just made up bs.
+Ace, The Reactor, it is more important that what we believe is right, than just believing something. I say there is evidence of Hell because Jesus spoke about it. And that trust I have in Jesus is built on a foundation of truth, backed up by documents and eye witnesses that have stood the test of time.
You on the other hand, won't take a honest look with an open heart because you love the sin you're chained to, and find it easier to do things your way. You are the god of your life, and think you are here to fulfill your every desire. There is a Day of Judgement headed your way; if you are still in your sins when that time comes...it'll be Hell to pay. That's not what I want for you, but that you would turn from your wicked ways and trust Jesus.
gettinold2
I don't love the sin, because I don't sin. I live my life, actually, as a good person. I help people, when I can, and don't hurt anyone. It's YOU religious people, who're evil. You go around, murdering innocent people, because you think your "deity" told you to. You religious morons are the ones causing trouble!!
There's NO evidence that there were actually witnesses of Jesus' resorection. You say there's evidence of hell, because "Jesus" spoke about it? The bible? The documents that have stood the test of time? LOL!!!! Again, are you talking about the *RETARDED* bible?! LOL, the bible's been *DISPROVEN, * by *SCIENCE*!!!!
And, I won't take an honest look? At what? The bible? I've read the *ENTIRE* bible, from cover to cover - and it's *HORESHIT!!!!* It's *FICTION!!!!*
+Ace, The Reactor You say you're a good person and then go on to falsely accuse all of us Christians of murdering innocent people and call us morons (which is both lying and slander)....... seems a bit inconsistent me thinks.
So can you intelligently back up your assertions with truth? Or are you just going to hurl a barrage of insults at me?
Ace, The Reactor Sure you have sinned! Have you ever lied, taken something that doesn't belong to you, fornicated, dishonored your mother and father, coveted? If you have...then you've sinned. If you've hated, God see's it as murder, and lust as adultery. Dude...your goose is cooked if you are found in your sin!
All of your "good works" are as filthy rags to a holy God...they won't help you at all in justifying you against the thousands of sins you've committed over the years.
The next thing is; you have the wrong idea of what a Christian is and does. NO Christian murders anyone! A religious hypocrite is what you are describing...not a Christian!
You're wrong about Jesus. He has been fully documented and verified. You just deny the facts because of your unrighteousness.
I agree with Mr. Friel hands down! If you listen you can hear folks agreeing with the lady. when the world starts to agree with you and when you start to agree with the world then something is wrong. Nobody likes to here that they are wrong but if you dont tell them then they will die and go to hell! May God continue to work great and mighty deeds through you Mr. Friel
Man the Spirit of God was seriously tugging at her heart, she knew she was in damnation but pride was confusing her,,, you delivery was beautiful God bless your ministry
This lady is so lovely, passionate, and good she is inspires me....God bless you...xxoo
I got saved by a fire and brimstone message. This girl got get in the Bible more.
Hi I'm a new subscriber and I'm serving in Taiwan as a self-supporting missionary
I have to say you have a sense of humor when you preach to people and I find that very interesting
Also find it great that you really cover basically everything and your hardcore for Jesus which I can respect
Thankfully that's where I'm hoping to be.
May God bless your ministry! Thank you for spreading the word of God in a country that in majority rejects Him.
I'm a half-doutbtful christian thinking of returning to Christ. This video and channel is a really good start for me...
Come back to Christ, He is mighty to save !
Why would you want to die?
What ever choice you make, do from your heart with love NOT FEAR. I had that experience about 40-45 years ago. and it happened so quick, my head was almost spinning. One must greatly consider his or her individual intuition (the bridge between spirit and consciousness). One must consider the importance of your individual consciousness. Whether you know it or not, everything is conscious. In a very SIMPLE example, 2 twins may look exactly alike but, it is impossible for them to see and feel exactly the same. Anything you examine deep enough has minor or microscopic differences. One person favors red and another favors purple or pink. One person adores brunettes, another prefers redheads. One person loves the daytime and another loves the night. That is the fabric of existence. When ever you feel doubt, it is a big sign saying you are open to growth. Once you say, "I KNOW", it is a sign that says you give up learning about that thing and just accept it as the ultimate truth. The truth for MOST of us in the 1700s was you could not have a vehicle without a horse. In the 1800s vehicles could not fly. TRUTH! 1900s, no such thing as a handheld device for communication world-wide. TRUTH! I believe your spirit will let you know in some way when people or preachers come to you with threats of death, eternal suffering and damnation, which you should know, that they are preying on your fears. When someone PREDICTS you will REST and WORSHIP at the feet of a god and be cared for forever and everything will be provided with everything you NEED and that is the END of it all, a little light will come on saying, WHAT?!?!?! >> Don't take my word for any of this. Use your own heart and mind. That is why you have it, to use it, and respectfully resist trusting others who have the OWN mind and heart.
I struggle with that too.
But i know ,a true sheep follows the shepherd. Have faith in the one true God :)
Rachel Tan
You will come to see the sheep and the shepherd are one. Funny how the Beetles had this song so many years ago like someone realized what reality is, 'Love Is All There Is'. >>> Respectfully.
Conviction is breaking her heart....
You can see it in her face. I pray the holy spirit starts a process of renewal in her heart.
The preacher is absolutely correct. We all have been judged! People like this young lady have been misled with the feel good Gospel! Read the Bible folks!
most definitely
Amen
yup she just wants to be comforted in all things but life is not always comforting and in fact God tells us many even those who believe in him will not enter into Heaven because most of us even if we say we believe in Jesus Christ we dont follow his word we do nothing for him.
My advice read the bible put it in your heart and dont ever stop reading it.
***** That's your opinion and not mine! I was once an atheist myself. Seeing how you're an atheist, the video should bother you.
So True!!! Amen!
By her saying what he was doing wasn't right, that's saying that what jesus did wasn't right. Because this man was doing the same thing Jesus did while he was here. And that's preach the gospel to the masses. She didn't have any legitimate answer to the point she was trying to make. Don't challenge a true man of God about God's word when you don't even know what God said. Period...
Jesus gives the fire neck
+Daniel Allen Yes she did.
What that preacher is do-
ing and saying does NOT
make anyone want to be
religious. It's making ppl
away from religion. HEY
in fact Atheism is born
outta Christianity. And
that's exactly the point
that sweet girl was try-
ing to make while being
cut off over and over &
NOT listened to at all bc
it's now you all treat your
oppressed wmn. Peace
+Qonita Badeges atheism is the baseline, not religion. Do you really trust mankind to convey how the afterlife works? Also, how convenient that churches pay no taxes and god needs your money so you can go to heaven
+Pogo M Jesus said not everyone who calls Him Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. Don't worry God will judge those who preach Christ out of greed. He also said those who do not warn will not be held guiltless
+Daniel Allen .................................. Matthew 12:18 says about Jesus (King James Bible),'Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.HE SHALL NOT STRIVE, NOR CRY OUT; NOR SHALL ANY MAN HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS; A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends forth justice unto victory'.
Jesus did not yell and scream in the streets .'A bruised reed shall he not break', means Jesus was gentle with broken people, not harsh, angry and vindictive like yourself.What he is doing is totally un- Biblical, causes strife bitterness anger and hostility toward the beautiful Good News of Christ.Jesus says 'by their fruits you shall know them'..and, after watching many of these videos, I see the fruit is consistently bad.
Why are they all standing there if 99% of them are angry? They don't have to do that...
Cassandra Foster Did you know that 'duh' was contagious? Did you know that "it wasn't me who said that" is a super famous phrase from the past? Did you know that anyone who doesn't stay in line, keep the mouth shut or, at least make great effort to accept thing as they are, will probably risk controversy, being fired, punished, penalized, being ostracized, lynched, be headed, alienated, exiled or CRUCIFIED. >>> Respectfully.
that is what Americans do.. stand there and being angry.. If it was here people will call the police and your sorry will get move.. You can't do this kind of BS here..
Possibly because religion harms...and even leads to babies dying. Many Christian women silently go for abortions, too afraid to ask for guidance at their church for fear of being gossiped about rather than helped.
www.christianpost.com/news/70-of-women-who-get-abortions-identify-as-christians-survey-finds-150937/
Babies and toddlers have died avoidable deaths. Why? Because religious affiliated daycares have had training, inspection, and licensing requirements waived. We are talking thousands of daycares in one state alone.
Religion has recently resulted in other deaths and many types of harm. Yeah, we are angry.
Will you consider educating your church about the congregation needing a safe counseling resource for pregnant church goers? You can also look up polls on how many Christians that believe abortion should be legal. It is shocking. Maybe church leaders can offer special talks to try and change minds.
where
The Catholic church isn't going to change its views on things like this, so I wouldn't waste my time.
I think what christians are forgetting or don't understand is that God has given different gifts to different people. To some he gave the gift of preaching and to others the gift of ministering hopitality etc. They are all ways that we live the gospel and witness of Jesus love. The eye is not the ear nor is the ear the hands. Each has a different purpose and way of working in the body of Christ. We ought nought to judge the lords servant in what he or she has been called to do. Everyone is different and may receive the truth through different means. I am very introverted and shy so I am not able to go out in the street and preach but I appreciate and love those who do. I can give out tracts and God's word and try to live in a way that honors God and that is my way of being a witness. We need to be more unified as the body of Christ and appreciate the gifts God has given each one of us.
For those of you interested in Open Air Preaching. It may interest you to watch the video "6 Different Methods of Open Air Preaching"
When ignorance runs so deep that you even agree with everything this man says and still cannot agree that he should be doing what he is doing.
She says : " 99% are angry with you" ... Then asks : " How many here are angry with him?" One person puts their hand up.
This confused young woman is so typical of how brainwashed and ungodly our nation has become. When The Lord does pass judgment on this fallen nation, this girl, and all the drunken fools applauding her, will finally look up to heaven and ask, "Why have you cursed us, God ?" As for myself, I'll also look up towards my Creator and simply say, "I understand Your holy wrath upon this wicked and corrupt generation, oh Lord. Have mercy upon us all."
Amen
I don't believe in the creed of the Turkish the Jewish church or the Christian Church all Church's are man made instutions to control my mind is my own Church Tom Paine founding father
You did awesome! God bless you and continue the wonderful work you're doing.
There are so many "soft and easy Christians" out today just like this young lady. I have been told several times that I am the reason why people are leaving the church. No, people are leaving the church because of what's in their heart. I agree with Todd...we must preach repentance!
Rodney Thomas Amen
Regardless if he's sugarcoating or not they'll hate the message because they don't want to hear how sinful they are. The bible says if you're not of this world you'll be hated, so expect that and don't compromise your faith. Simple as that.
+BoardWolf Why should you care enough to reply her comment?
+Debo Ayangbile People who refuse to believe in God are usually just scared of the truth, scared to see themselves for the wretches sinners we really are, otherwise, they wouldn't be so confrontational and intolerant with Christians.
BoardWolf If that were true, then Atheists would have left Christians alone to their own beliefs and teachings. Thanks to the spread of Atheism, you can't pray in Schools, you can't read the bible in class, you can't mention God or Jesus in any public fashion without being met with hostility, as demonstrated by this comment thread. So, who's being intolerant here?
BoardWolf How is speaking in a public place about Jesus Christ or God in any way a form a intolerance? How is praying being intolerant and hateful? If intolerance means to simply voice your beliefs in a place where people have differing beliefs, you'd be right. But here, that is not the case.
It's true that awful things have been done in the name of Christianity, but what most people don't realize is that not everything done in the name of Christianity accurately reflects Christian teaching. Christianity is misused when used as justification for violence. Also, the most notable acts of evil done in the name of Christianity occurred centuries ago, not in modern times. However, the same cannot be said for all religions. Groups such as ISIS, Hamas, Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad resort to violence also.
BoardWolf That's what I meant by saying that not all things done in the name of Christianity reflects true Christian teaching. If you don't know what true Christian teaching is, I'm sorry that you had to see such poor examples of it. And yes, we are all sinners (ME especially) and therefore destined for Hell unless we repent and put our faith in Jesus. That is what Jesus taught us to tell people because he wants us all to avoid that fate. If you knew that something terrible was going to happen, like a hurricane, and that everyone would die if they didn't do what is necessary to protect themselves, you would do your absolute best to tell everyone, wouldn't you? If we were taught to just not care about what would happen to other people and just stick with our own, that wouldn't help anyone and it certainly wouldn't please God because He loves us all and wants us to come to Him.
I was just like her, its like watching an old me.
You did a fine job and gave a great defense of the word. She knows we live in a fallen world. She's young and trying to deny it
Todd, you did everything right and you answered well on all counts. Your manner was temperate, and you were patient. This woman had the right heart, but she is either deceived, or uneducated regarding evangelism. Deep down she does not have the conviction to warn people of their plight, and she has a distorted view of judgement, motivated by the feelings of man, and not led by the Spirit of truth. Your responses were all true and correct and altogether educational for all would be Christians. The evangelists would likely already have the conviction by which you operate. I cannot find fault with anything you said and I pray the woman overcomes her fears and develops discernment and wisdom. I have heard many people say, just live your life and people will want what you have. Well, what is worth having anyway except the peace of God in the midst of calamity. Who is going to see that every day? Wesley was lucky to see it once and he learned he was a false convert and came to Christ. How can they hear unless someone tells them. The Gospel is the power of salvation and the law is the tutor to bring us to Christ. I wish there were more of us.
Todd, I know I'm the 12,795th comment...but how did this conversation end? You did a fantastic job relating to her very angry self.
I want to know too. I do hope, she now realizes that she is wrong.
I am sad for this girl. She is going round and round in circles.
i think you handled her absolutely right. I think that dialogue between you and her for all to hear was very powerful to those who do not know Christ.
Preach the bad news before preaching the good news so that people understand their need for Jesus. Keep the good work preacher
Exactly!!
But this woman "feels it in her heart" so she MUST be right. Gotta love modern Christianity.
modern christianity is not biblical christianity
Right...the true Gospel doesn't concern itself with your feelings...your feelings can lead you straight to hell.
I feel your sarcasm level.
Dr. Arleezah Marrah That is exactly one of the biggest problems with organized religion. What is in your heart doesn't get any credit. What is written is the book of many, many revisions through the centuries counts more than what is in your heart.
Dr. Arleezah Marrah I disagree to extent
That woman was very wrong. She says "This is not the way we should do it" but the way the man was doing it is completely right!
The reason she got so upset was because she cannot stand the truth, if people do not accept Jesus into their heart, they go to hell, she can try to sugar coat it all she wants, that's the truth.
She is also wrong about what she said about judgement, the Bible does not say you cannot judge, it only states you cannot judge if you yourself commit that sin also.
For example, if I was a major drug addict and I went around preaching about how people should not get into drugs, I would be a hypocrite and that is the type of judgement the Bible says not to do. If you are not guilty in an area of sin, you are qualified to judge others in that area.
Thanks for proving once again that conservative evangelical christians know fuck all about the world.
The reason this woman is upset is because Friel (the preacher) is arrogant and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Telling people they're going to hell just because they're not dropping to their knees in deep repentance is nothing short of obnoxious. Also, the preacher's truth isn't the rest of the world's truth, now is it?
As for judging, the preacher most definitely was judgmental, using the bible as a shield to do so. He's a coward.
kylechicago8189 "...the preacher's truth isn't the rest of the world's truth..."
Is there more than one truth? You'd think that, by definition, truth is an immutable and immovable thing, no?
No, truth is NOT immutable. What's the difference between "immutable truth" and "truth"? Also, I love how only when it comes to god and the bible, christians jump on their high horse and claim it all to be "absolute truth".
kylechicago8189 Actually, I came to the concept of absolute truth via science. After auditing a few classes on cosmology and astrophysics, I realized that according to science, there is a capital R Reality independent from my beliefs out there, both spiritual and physical.
We use science to try to parse out, stumble imperfectly towards the physical truths of the material universe.
So, doesn't that imply that there is a more meaningful Truth out there as well? Something beyond the atomic mass of hydrogen and the rate of expansion of the universe? Something about moral duty, perfection, life, death, grace, and judgement?
Because if there isn't, and the material is all there is, then what a sad, sad story the tale of the human race will turn out to be. But if there is, then how glorious and beautiful it is instead.
I did not come to Christ because I believed, then had to rationalize my belief. For me, it was the other way around. I came to the need for a Creator because our entire understanding of physics is predicated on an uncaused cause. Once I accepted that truth, I set to finding out what kind of god made all this. I found Him in Christ.
You sit there thinking yourself so superior in knowledge, but I am the one that knows something you do not.
The wonderful thing is that, what I know is a who, and He really, really wants to you to know Him and to know you in return.

"The reason this woman is upset is because Friel (the preacher) is arrogant and thinks he's the smartest guy in the room."
Wrong, the preacher did not think that at all, all he was doing was preaching what Jesus preached, he did not think himself better than anyone since compared to the glory of God, we are all worthless including us Christians.
"As for judging, the preacher most definitely was judgmental, using the bible as a shield to do so. He's a coward."
Lets see, he stood before all those people and without fail preached the Gospel, I really wouldn't call that cowardice, if he was a coward he wouldn't even be there. Also, who cares it he was judgemental? The Bible clearly states that if a human is not guilty in a sinful area he is qualified to judge others. If we do not judge others, how can we know each others faults? Am I perfect? No I am not but it's only through others judging me that I became aware of my faults.
It's such a shame that getting to know God has become so ruined by Satan, all God truly wants is for people to get to know him, he doesn't want you to suffer nor be at the hands of evil, he just wants to bless you and guide you to salvation, yes it can be hard and feel like a trial but it's worth it to have God in your life.
Take care and God Bless.
Thank you so much for preaching His message around. You jeep your calm and know what you are saying. Keep on going!
This women... is whats wrong with America. Plain and simple. It's people like this that defends the devil and hates the truth of the gospel. This is why this country and going down the toilet.
She is trying to recreate God in her own image, the way she 'wants' him to be. Doesn't work.
He's absolutely right. If she thinks that her "living her life" in a manner that others will see Christ and come to him is enough, she's dead wrong. Yes, we are called to live a life that exalts Him, but how many people in your day to day life do you have enough contact with that it will make a difference? People need to hear the Word of God, not just bump into "good people" now and then.
I think Todd did a good job. There will always be those that disagree and all we can do is pray for them. I did feel especially bad for this young woman. I don't know if she truly didn't understand what Todd was trying to say, or if she did finally 'get it' and she didn't know how to process this new information. Thanks for what you are doing out there Todd.
This preacher is a genius! He is applying the thought that, with facts, there are no arguments.
She cries because Holy Spirit convicts her from sin.
as David Wilkerson said: “What is it about tears that should be so terrifying? the touch of God is marked by tears...deep, soul-shaking tears, weeping..."
Oh please. She's not "convicted of her sin", she's calling out an asshole preacher who thinks perpetual repentance & faith & submission is the only way to be a true christian. Leave it to evangelicals to attempt to call others false christians because they go about it differently.
kylechicago8189 It is the ONLY way. You cannot be saved unless you do repent and have faith that Christ died and rose again, and will return. You do submit your life to Christ, that is what being a Christian is about. The Bible gives clear instructions on this. You can't just "go about it differently", that is the problem with society...do what ever makes you feel good. You can't sugarcoat it, it wasn't meant to be easy...read.
Sherry Blanton It's the 21st century, sweetheart. You CAN go about ANYTHING differently. It's always funny when conservative christianity refuse to change with modern society & culture, yet are the first to balk when the world moves on without them. This is why folks like Rob Bell piss off old timey hellfire preachers like MacArthur or Piper: Bell modernizes while the others stay stagnant. It's no wonder we atheists have it in for certain stripes of christianity. Evangelicalism is nothing but calvinism with slightly prettier packaging. Both use hell and repentance as veiled threats to the gullible in an attempt to gain more "followers". You call living that under that loving? I call it oppression paired with a bit of Pascal's Wager.
Well put Onkuty
😉👍Todd a great job and very well executed and informatively explained in every way provided and detail necessary in proclaiming God's holy Word for what it truly is and what it truly says for all to be saved. And my prayers go out to this young lady to come to the true understanding of God's holy Word 🙏 🙌.
love this preacher..she needs to be save..
Meli Saubuluti Hardly. This "preacher" is terrible and make christians look bad. You should scorn him like you folks do with any other false preachers.

"I know your not smart but just think about this,"
Says the jesus freak who can't spell or punctuate.
"Jesus preached the word to people, some agreed and followed and others hated him. "
I don't hate Jesus, but I also don't believe any of the bullshit that either the bible or jesus freaks are so naive to buy into. I do have a massive issue with the die-hard evangelical jesus freaks out there.
"All real Christians will be hated just as Jesus was for telling the truth." If you just kept your faith to yourself, and your mouths shut, maybe you wouldn't catch so much shit from we atheists.
"why can't the sinners just listen to the word and keep moving, "
Because " the word" is absolutely bullshit. Thinking for yourself, and not what some stupid fucking old book tells you isn't a crime. You should try it sometime.
"because they know they are wrong and they refuse to accept the truth"
Wrong according to whom? Your silly bible and god? Hardly.
"That lady is clearly a friend of the world because she doesn't want to preach it...we are here to please God, not man."
Why the fuck does she have to preach at all? Let her worship her god the way she chooses. And no, Man IS NOT here to please god. If anything, god should be worshiping us because god is a man-made concept. The sooner you ditch god, the sooner you'll see how better your life is.
+kylechicago8189 Wow! what a bunch of hateful comments! God created everything and you say He should worship us? We were created in his image . Genesis 2: 26- to 28 How arrogant! May God forgive you for your blasphemy and may the Holy Spirit guide you to the truth : which is Jesus. why do we need a picture of God? If we were to see His glory we would be consumed by His Holiness, because we are so sinful. Genesis 3: 8 they hid from the Lord because I they knew they had done wrong, just like our children when they misbehave, we are God's children and we are behaving like spoiled brats who are turned against their parent. May God guide and bless you.
+Meli Saubuluti How do you know she isn't? Are you so righteous that you may pass righteous judgement? Doubt it.
She's either with GOD or against GOD she cannot be acting like she is a good person and knowing that those people need to hear the gospel. She wanted it be presented with respect where does she get that from .she is afraid of the truth . She can't preach or tell Jesus publicly that is why she wanted to stop the brother .shame ..
"A doctor that never tells his patients that their sick is not a good doctor" I love it ❤️

And you're just another one of those douchey little *Jesus-tool blatherers*. So? She at least has a FRAGMENT of sense and reality to bring to the table. All you have are your pew pamphlets that you brainlessly parrot like the mindless little lemming you are. Go figger.
People just hate Jesus. She might be a saved person, but she appears to be slightly ashamed... The Bible says: "If you deny me in front of your friends I'll deny you before my father." So it's like you are faking your Christianity. God days go spread the Gospel and if stating it as the facts is wrong..then how do we do it?
The Bible says: "Some save with fear pulling them out of the fire, hating even the agreement spotted by the flesh." Sometimes scaring them is how it works, but that's not with all people.
My sister is lost, and if the only way she could be saved was for me to die, I'd die
I'm sorry about your sister, but there's still time....
now, if you knew your dead not only wouldn't save her, but would put her even further from God, would you still die for her? because that's the point of the girl in the video. This preaching has shown not to help for most people, but to put them more and more away from God
:(
DonnaQuijota I don't think it does. I think if we are silent entirely about it, they are NEVER going to find out.
The Bible says: But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:3-12.
If we don't give that Gospel in some way, it's hidden from them.
Preaching out in teh open isn't wrong and whether I took them aside or not, it wouldmore than likely be the same reaction because they have been blinded.
Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
PREACH not just live it. We are supposed to verbally enunciate the cruciality of living in sin so people come to Christ.
These are Jesus' words, last time I checked, He was never wrong.
And if dying for my sister pushed her away, no I wouldn't do it, but I'd say that she is comepletely CRAZY to rebel against God.
that's the point. if preaching (like this guy, in public places; emphasizing in God's anger) is putting people away, maybe we should think of different means. it's 2016, there are millions of ways of spreading a word and delivering messages to people. there's a wide range between shouting to random people that God is angry at them on a public park and "silenting the gospel entirely ". A guy blindly preaching whatever to whoever is either not careing for other people's soul but just showing off or being selfish, or being lazy on thinking of an effective way of getting.people to think seriously about God and the afterlife...
DonnaQuijota I have never seen him prwach angrily, but itis good to let people know that God's wrath DOES abide upon them. (John 3:36:He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.)
How do you win people to Christ?
Andrew McMillan same way you win people for anything else... I don't know... a radio show, an article on a magazine, a website, just to mention a few means....
and also, emphasizing on His love and not His anger.... so people won't come to God because they fear Him, but because they love Him.... When you love somebody, you won't want to hurt him, because you just don't want to.... not because you fear that he'll go mad.... it should be the same here... it is about love in the FIRST place.....
On the other hand, a more effective way, for what I've seen, is with works... people tend to get interested on religion when they see religious people carrying that love in the shape of good works...
but, at the end of the day.... the truth is that it is extremely hard to get an adult person who is angry with God to go back to Him :( that's why we should be much more careful and, at least! make an effort not to push them further... even when we feel desperated, be patient, pray a lot, and try to make it clear for them that, even if there were no hell out there, you would still, always, chose to follow God's commands and that nobody is pushing you there, not even God (who actually gave you free will to chose!)

This guy is right. We need to warn them. Some people like this woman simply cannot accept the fact that love is about warning people, love is not about telling them how they are good people.
He's not warning people. He's being a judgmental prick whilst hiding behind that stupid fucking bible. It doesn't help his case when he condemns others on how they worship "god". It's both shitty and unnecessary.
kylechicago8189 There might be some people that have not understood the gospel clearly. He is telling them about it. He judges them according to the Bible.
My point exactly! Not only is he hiding behind his bible, he relies on it to formulate opinions that aren't his own. In other words, he's just parroting.
kylechicago8189 I don't see your point here. He preaches the word of God. It is really good.
My point is he's a crazed bible thumper who criticizes those who worship god in a different way than him. My point is this guy makes you (other christians) look bad and you should distance yourself from that. Honestly, I think jesus freaks should shut up, keeping your faith and that bullshit so-called gospel to yourself. I just think it's even worse when you're a judgmental dick hiding being a bible to do it.
We are all in rebellion against God until we repent and are saved and she is a perfect example. I can’t even compare my new Life in Christ with how frustrated I used to be. When I let God take the reigns everything changed. I never knew the peace I feel now. I go to bed relaxed and wake up knowing Jesus is protecting me and it’s going to be a good day no matter what comes my way. You can’t put a price on that and you will find it nowhere else except through Christ.
😂😂😂 OH MY goodness your “big sigh” at the end…. LOL i am bingeing on you, and JESUS! This is priceless 🙌🙏🫶🤣
I agree with the preacher. We can't sugarcoat or soft tone the gospel...people's lives are on their way to hell...sometimes we have to speak the truth bluntly....

If my house is burning I do not want someone to stand outside and whisper softly ...your house is on fire! If I'm on my way to hell...somebody better shout me down!!! until I get it!! If I'm to get it that is...not all will make it in! Yet Jesus says it's not his desire that any should perish! 2Peter 3:9 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
so what you are saying is it will be thousands and thousands and thousnads of years until Jesus returns....????
The man remained calm and indeed was right, I know what that woman was trying to say, but she should go home and read her bible more before trying to 1 up a verteran lol
Maybe he knows his Bible too well. The scribes and Pharisees knew it off by heart. I think she knows the heart of God - trumps bible knowledge every time.
spoonfulofdreams
I'm not sure they knew the Scriptures all too well. (Mark 12:24). They didn't recognise their own Messiah, who fulfilled numerous prophecies of old.
And the problem with the Pharisees was actually that they were hypocrites (Luke 12:1) and did not practice what they preached.
The Lord would never condemn knowledge of His Word. It may well be that the Pharisees knew Scripture, but they obviously didn't understand it, as Jesus constantly had to clarify and explain. The Bible places great importance upon understanding (Prov. 8:1), and I think that it is understanding that modern (and old-time) preachers often lack.
Furthermore, I do not believe that woman knows the heart of God, at least judging from what she said. For me she is a prime example of today's apostate "Christianity". She claims that God loves those people, but she has a sort of worldly, sentimental concept of love. I do not know what she makes of Psalms 11:5:
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul HATETH.
While I too disagree with the preacher on his methods, it is for entirely other reasons.
"I think she knows the heart of God - trumps bible knowledge every time."
It might very well be that she knows the heart of another god, namely because she lacks Bible knowledge of the true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Again, I don't know what's in her heart, but it seems to me like that she wants to take the offence away from the Gospel. As soon as the Gospel is made attractive to sinful man, it has lost its essence and is no longer the Gospel. I do believe people need to hear more of God's wrath and judgment, instead of being fed suger-coated sentimentalites about how God loves them and accepts them just as they are.
What this generation lacks is fear of God, and it needs to be instilled into people somehow.
God bless!
Yana Nikolova The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom but that's fear that comes from respect and knowledge rather than a simple fear of consequences. God's love is tied into his holiness and though many are attracted to God this is a massive barrier because without accepting his holiness they cannot know his grace. To see the message of love as an easy option is short sighted. Who wouldn't run from a burning house but what if its a drug den and you want a fix? God says "I love you too much to see you throw your life away like this".
One problem for me is that I've seen numerous hell fire preachers who are full of hate, prejudice and bigotry. Their claim to love the sinner yet hate the sin is simply a self-righteous smokescreen. Don't you remember Jesus saying he came for the sick, not the healthy? He condemned those who had their morality sorted and could only criticise those they saw as 'sinners'. Jesus sought out the sinners and first gave them a message of hope before challenging their behaviour. By example he showed them the difference between holiness and moralism.
This generation is lost. They see more holiness in agnostics than Christians. There is corruption all around (including the church) that is robbing the poor and disenfranchised and here we are condemning people for misdemeanours.
spoonfulofdreams your so right u did a great job of explaining that, amen!

that girl is back sliding on the words coming out of her mouth...she wants to please the world before telling them truth.... too many Christians like her in the world, she loves people but don't want to offend them with the truth... Hell is real don't go there.
Jesus told us to love people...love our neighbor as ourselves! I don't understand Christians who think they have to insult people, or scare people into the kingdom! It's obnoxious, and portrays spiritual pride and arrogance. And, there is no such thing as "backsliding." That's a pentecostal term...it does not exist in scripture (in fact the "concept" of backsliding is not in scripture) and it's judgmental.
THURZA HEIM when I use the term backsliding I mean going away form God's word after you are saved. So yes there is such a thing. and if you don't tell people the truth because you don't want to look bad or because you feel you look obnoxious you will have the Lord to answer too... it's his love you are to share with the world not your personal feelings on what people think... think of God first not what you LOOK like...think on what they have to lose and tell them. amen have a God bless day sister. and I am not Pentecostal I am a Christian first meaning God's word comes first.
If we love the people enough we would rather become small and hated then not telling them the truth. Just as Jesus did. just as all the profets did. That is what we do rather then comforting them while they need to surrender to Jesus. Its not about strenghtening sinners in their sin but showing them their state so they might run to Jesus. It is not about being loved it is about telling them what they need to know. Not about what they like to know. The bible warns not to strenghten sinners. i see a man here very humble who understands very well that if he wants to serve the master he is also going to be hated.
Niels Ophuis so true brother to many are looking for the world to approve of God's word before tell it. and the rest will tell people only what they want to hear. what we are left with is empty words for itchy ears
Morgan More So your interpretation of Paul's statement in 2 Timothy 4:3 means that unless we are abrasive, insulting or obnoxious, we haven't preached "sound doctrine.?" The gospel message can/should be presented in a way that draws people. What kind of a relationship would a parent and child, husband and wife or friends have if the only reason to have that relationship is fear of torture?
And considering the present day culture we have, is randomized "street preaching" really an effective way to preach the gospel? There are so many kooks out there. I've heard lots of street preachers, and some of them say really crazy things. Our most effective witness is the way we live out the gospel in our everyday lives! That is worth much more than words! If one lives in America, one can hardly get though a day without hearing something about Christ. The gospel is all over radio, TV, internet...there are churches everywhere. But most of all, there are Christians everywhere...living out the gospel and sharing the gospel with whomever they come in contact.
Bottom line, it isn't, necessarily, the message this man is preaching, but the way in which it is being given. That's why I agree with the woman's criticism.
She sees him as "fire and brimstone" because he unashamedly speaks the clear truth. But he's sooo far from fire and brimstone. He's kind and loving in his way of speaking.
Jesus Christ and the early apostles were street preachers.
+Nabiha Moses There wasn't exactly any other way to preach back then though lol
Phillo127 and street preaching is still the only way to reach the lost.
Nabiha Moses I wouldn't say the ONLY way. I wasn't reached by street preaching. But it should continue.
Phillo127 I agree there are many ways to serve the Lord also in James it says not everyone should be teachers. But personally I really want to be one. An evangelist/missionary. God bless
Sam Abebe I think that's a great way to reach people. Especially in missions. God bless you too.
She wants to please people with a gushy gospel - a gospel about the god of her own understanding. He wants to tell them the true Gospel - a Gospel from the Bible directed by GOD. She feels convicted by what she's hearing and projects her feelings onto the crowd and tries to gather support from them, even though they hate the true Gospel and the God behind it. I'd be interested to find out which ministries she listens to. I'm certain it will be something like Joseph Prince or Rob Bell.
Those are terrific ministries! Since when is the Gospel supposed to be obnoxious? I recommend you read C.S. Lewis's "The Great Divorce." It presents (IMO) an interesting picture of hell....a much different concept than the traditional "hell-fire and brimstone" picture. Bell's "Love Wins" is a compelling book...he opines that Christians should hope and pray that there isn't an eternal torture chamber awaiting those who chose to reject God. Why do so many Christians seem to wish for that?
THURZA HEIM Christians should hope and pray that there isn't an eternal torture chamber awaiting those who chose to reject God? Why would we hope and pray eternal punishment isn't real if God has already told us it is real? We hope and pray no one ends up there and that is precisely why it MUST be included in the message we share with others. Preach Christ and warn of the consequences of rejecting Him. That's is the WHOLE message...
THURZA HEIM I'm afraid you are as blinded as the girl in this video. What Rob Bell says is irrelevant if in contradicts what GOD's word says. Why should Christians wish that hell doesn't exist if a Holy GOD has said it does exist...for who? Those who have rejected HIS word, HIS grace, HIS love and HIS Son. HE doesn't want them to go there - that's why HE sent his Son and inspires men to record and preserve HIS word. You are following men, not GOD, because GOD convicts you, but men like Bell and Prince tickle your ears with things that sound right, but are really contrary to the what the Bible has said. Choose this day whom you will serve...
RPM11111
I do know whom I serve. There are many references to "hell" in the Bible. It appears the "lake of fire" is prepared for the devil & his angels. Hell is separation from God. Could a God really be described as "loving" if He resorted to "eternal torture" for His creatures, the one's he created because of His great Love, just for choosing not to love Him in return (which is the glorious hallmark of a truly loving God--to give your creatures the "choice" to love or not to love)? If we are to relate to God as our "Loving Father," what EARTHLY father would see to it a disobedient child was tortured, with no end?? No, hell is God respecting the choice of one of His creatures not to love Him, so he grants eternal separation--outside of His Presence for ever! We can't even imagine what that would be like! I caution you Christians who want to present God as a tyrant! Think about it...God's Glory is that He is ALL-Powerful, and He chooses to LIMIT His Power for the sake of His LOVE!
THURZA HEIM said "Think about it...God's Glory is that He is ALL-Powerful, and He chooses to LIMIT His Power for the sake of His LOVE!"
I agree, because of the grace and love HE shows toward men, GOD limits the use of HIS power to meet the counsel of HIS will. However, in the entire verse you are referring to (Matt 25:41), Jesus says "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, 'depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels'." Who are those "on the left"?
Do you think that GOD, who gave HIS only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, is somehow not going to fulfill what HE had Him say regarding the outcome of those who reject what GOD has done to Save HIS people? The warning is part of the act of love - "GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9b)", but HE doesn't force us to love HIM and receive Jesus as our Saviour.
What works best. Obey God not getting people to like you. Love you man and you were so kind to another believer that out of everyone in the crowd she needed to hear you the most imagine that. ❤️ praise God for saving you to proclaim truths that not all will accept. Having people like you is more dangerouse for the believer and them. That's why churches are falling they would rather be liked then actually trying to rescue them.
but, for how long will they be allowed to stew in their stinking lukewarmness before the Lord of the church vomits them out??!
This woman reflects the feelings of many believe that profess to believe in God. That warm, cozy feeling of attending a church once or twice a week and just 'being nice' to others and occasionally letting it slip that she's a Christian. Begs the question 'Does she really believe that Jesus died for her and is she saved'? Her reaction leads me to presume that she is not.
You preach with truth that lady feels scared and her fear blinds her from the truth
I personally think....after LISTENING to this video that....the young lady is lost (backslid) herself & wants to "nicely" judge the evangelist & trying to take his focus away on TRULY preaching the message of Jesus & salvation. God have mercy on her & us. She needed to just stay quiet & listen of not.
I personally think you're an idiot.
I agree with you the word of Elohim(God)is truly a double edge sword. It cut's both ways. When people start getting convicted of their sins they start to manifest. The word of Elohim is no respector of person's, it will expose the darkness in any one. Those covered by the blood of Yahshua(Jesus) to the Unsaved. I hope all the believer's in the messiah can come to an agreement on one thing and the taking the message of salvation into all of the four corners. And please let us edify and pray for one another. This Brother already has many gainsayers already comming against him. Along with all the uncircumcised in heart gentile pagan an idol worshippers . Shalom alaykim to those in the body of the messiah,who are truly covered by the blood atone of Yahshua(Jesus)
@ Jamie, lol, I'm not even gonna think that's an insult, it's funny heehee...Jesus loves you.
efrayim100 The Holy Spirit gave impression in my spirit that the enemy used her to try to take his focus away from preaching the Gospel, even with all those "tears" and the innocent look. Thank you for sharing brother...Shalom and Be blessed in the name of Jesus.
I love how evangelicals bitch about people judging them yet are the first ones to complain how others are "backsliders" and "heathens". What evangelicals really are are a bunch of god damn hypocrites, hiding behind a bible to cast aspersions and - oh wow - judge. Just because this woman doesn't adhere to your standard of particular christian worship means her faith is any less important or valid. If anything, it shows that a more reasonable,logical and progressive perspective simply makes more sense than strict antiquated biblical doctrine. You know, the one that doesn't always require jesus freaks to bible thump everyone & put aside the hellfire preachiness.. Thankfully, Friel (the preacher in the video) and his ilk are a dying breed . Quickly, I must add. Talking about a so-called god that only hates Man unless the ENTIRE planet "repents" only proves all the more how illogical and non-existent it really is. Is it any wonder even batshit crazy preachers like Pat Robertson distance themselves from evangelicalism because of its incompetence & incoherent logic.
Roberto Perez you're welcome brother, and that's exactly right. I'm laughing like crazy how these demon infested people on here, wanting to argue and make statements for conversation. Every time they open their mouth filth and uncleaness comes out. Proving their blinded by sin and darkness not knowing of the coming judgments coming on this planet. But demons will manifest,lmbo omg he he. When the word of Elohim is being spoken they will cuss,swear,blaspheme, ready to fight etc.Especially the sodomite and witchcraft spirits. Remember when Yahshua(Jesus) would begin to teach in the synagogues, the demon infested people would begin to cry out. Some begged him not to torment them before their time lmbo. And so we have it still happening today. They will say or do anything to try to keep the pure word of Elohim(God) from coming forth. I've seen them cry out during deliverance sessions and when the word is being taught. You stay blessed my brother and the blood of Yahshua(Jesus) covers you and all the saints on here covered by his blood. And keep ignoring those demon infested unclean spirits. when their only looking for an argument and making stupid statements. Me personally brother I don't entertain demons I cast them out in the name of Yahshua(Jesus) Shalom alaykim my friend.
I luv it ❤❤❤ Let the Word ring loud and clear. ❤❤❤
I carn't believe she's a christian, & yet she is debating with the preacher about how he should preach the message. The Lord yells us to go out & share the good news about the gospel. Great job preacher! Keep up God's Work. God Bless!
This woman is so emotionally manipulative.
wrestlingmast543 the smile 3/4 of the way proved it.
If I was unsaved - then I would have chosen Todd's way. I may not have got saved at that very moment but his message would have stayed with me and eventually I would have repented and came to Christ.
Todd was doing the right thing and the girl was even helping Todd. Thats the ironic thing.
Those who were truly listening to him will be hungry for more.
She obviously never read about Jesus he consistently preached. And many people think if you explain how they are going to hell you are judging. But that isn't, true YOU are not judging God is and you are merely explaining the standard upon which He judges.
Yeah, 'cos god loves everyone unconditionally and hates sending good people like Ghandi to hell, but them's the rules!!!
Who made up the rules again? I can't quite remember...no that's it, god made the rules...so he must like torturing Ghandi.
...and do you really think that you could enjoy heaven if you knew some of your friends and family, Ghandi were being tortured? Could you enjoy heaven if you knew that anyone was being tortured?
The bible is morally corrupt, full of fundamental contradictions and historically inconsistent!
Have you never read it all?
PortabledexterActually according to my world history class, the bible is the most viable source for Jewish history. To call the bible morally corrupt is to judge it on a moral scale that could not exist without God, morality requires human value and you do not get such value without an intrinsic worth derived from creation. You name Ghandi, are you aware he studied Christ to get his conclusion that the Indian people must fight the cast system? Yet he still denied Christ as God. Open rejection of your creator who has a supreme authority over life as He has created it places you in a rejected eternity. It was was Ghandi's choice just as it is yours.
Portabledexter First of all express some morals by not speaking with such vulgarity, for someone that thinks morals exist because of social traditions clearly you have proven you cannot be moral without a supreme authority to judge actions. Second your claims are pulling bible out of context, there is no bible for such immoral acts, Christians are against abortions, were the first to challenge and defeat slavery, both puritans and Quakers were against it and they were the two largest protestant groups to come over to what would become America, just two examples of how Christians live different than what you claim the bible condones, either you are taking it out of context or all Christians are ignoring biblical truth. Also, explain to me how morals derive from a natural system? If ancient civilizations were responsible how would you hold anyone accountable for a moral system that is contrary and created through their own social traditions? You cannot live consistently. If there is no absolute moral system than how do you universally judge for any actions? For instance the east believes that the western world is the greatest evil in the world and the only way to achieve peace is if they are eliminated, how do you achieve peace through moral relativity? Only if there is a universal system of morality can you hold them accountable and achieve peace. Historians disagree read, 'understanding world societies vol.1' textbook, to see you are absolutely incorrect my college course taught the bible to be historically accurate, historians do not debate this, unless they are outside the sphere of knowledge and ignore the evidence.
Portabledexter in addition, most other religions do not present such a moral systems. Since most religions claim exclusivity it would take religious research to figure which exclusive religion is correct. Just because they each claim truth does not mean they cannot be measured and one single religion cannot be correct.
You have obviously been brainwashed. For example, in the birth story of jesus historians dispute:
That Herod was in power at the time
That a census was called
That during a census (which it well documented that they did have census's at the time) people had to travel to their home town to register.
...and these are just three of many.
Suggesting that I read some bias textbook for school children to find out the 'truth' just because that is all you know is laughable at best and mildly insulting at worse, so no harm done there.
You accuse me of acting immorally for using vulgar language. Words in themselves are not immoral and should not cause offense. The context in which I used them was to emphasise various points in a way that other language fails to do. For example FFS has no equivalent phrase of the same impact. To paraphrase Stephen Fry "people who are offended by swearing are fucking idiots".
A quick lesson:
Humans need to live in communities to survive. A single human on its own is basically a free lunch.
Therefore we have always lived in groups or tribes out of necessity.
If a tribe had no basic morals such as do not kill each other and don't steal from each other then they would not survive very long, and their genes would not be passed on.
We have therefore evolved to have a social nature through natural selection, and this includes having morals.
As for christians ignoring biblical 'trith', you have hit the nail squarely on the head. If you actually read the whole bible (and actually think about what you are reading) there are loads of bits that christians ignore because it is morally wrong.
How you decided this because you claim the bible to be the source of your religion and morals, is exactly the same way that atheists work out what is right and wrong ie. not by following the bible. In other words the bible is often wrong morally. How can you still believe the other bits?
Also you state that christians are against abortion as the correct moral stance, not because you have weighed up the pros and cons based on studies and reason, but because the same book that tells you to stone a rape victim to death told you so. This is not an acceptable viewpoint.
The same stupid assumption is then made against stem cell research, of which there is no real moral argument against (at least abortion has two valid arguments to discuss), and this is slowing down one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs ever. This means that the bible is responsible for the deaths of many people who could have been saved.
You have already admitted that you choose to ignore some moral teachings of the bible, so I put it to you:
If the bible is of devine inspiration and morals are given by god, who the fuck are you to decide when god is right and when he is wrong?
(Did you like the use of swearing to emphasise the last point? It wouldn't have the same impact if other language was used!).
Kind regards.
She is judging you for not being kind and merciful enough. She'd do it some other personal way that is less offending to anyone. May the Lord bless her and she can really lead some people to Christ in her own way. On the other hand, I praise you for being bold and courageous to preach on the street. Personally I have not done that, but if I do get a chance, I will love to shout it into the mic and tell people how much God loves them, and how much Gods heart is hurting seeing them walking down the road of destruction. You know, even if just one out of a hundred hear and respond to your message, it's still worth it, even when there are people shouting you down!
