[@jerricosagala2904]

This is one of the most underrated channel i follow. If only i was rich, i would fund this. But im also a poor beggar so i just watch and let the ads finish uninterrupted.

[@BibleUnbound]

You don't have to fund nothing to be welcome - I'm just glad you're here

[@mrs.g.9816]

Such infinite love our Lord has for us! The agony that He went through because of His love. It goes beyond my limited imagining.

[@mturner6244]

I love this message. God bless you.

[@Mike-tg7dj]

I have one thing to say..........Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Well three things. This impacted me like Mel Gibson's, "The Passion of the Christ". It showed the Judean/Roman culture and how they viewed their world which by the was a brutal world that was excessive, and cruel. Excessive in that you were either really rich or really poor.😊

[@doctwiggenberry5324]

I really needed what you said tonight, to know that Jesus gave so much for me and to know that even I am forgiven for all my sins. thanks for your productions Austin.

[@joshmccartney6474]

Why was Jesus in Jerusalem? When is passover?

[@lukeslc-xd8ds]

Let no one believe that Christ's life was taken FROM Him. He could NOT be killed. He and HE alone chose to give up His life. HE surrendered His Spirit to His Father.

[@JesusIsEternalSalvation]

Facts.

[@darronmurria2492]

You're talking about history when you don't read in Deuteronomy 21 where does mention the crucifixion a man hung on the tree until sundown it's also on Galatians chapter 3 with Paul quotes from Deuteronomy where God makes that command so I don't know where you get your story from

[@papajoefortner1817]

My dear friends I have videos for you on The Solar Eclipse and The End Times. Please go to Papa Joe Fortner or Shockwaves of the End Times or The Watchmen Series with Papa Joe. Thank you and God bless you 🙏

[@chog4607]

If Jesus went to hell, why did he tell one of the thieves on the cross next to him "today you will be with me in paradise?"

[@jaypenha5352]

read the scriptures. Paul and Peter talk about it in the other new testament books of the bible. Jesus went to hell to proclaim his victory to the devil. The criminal would be with jesus in heaven that day. Think of it like a pit stop on the way. The thief would not tag along with jesus as He went to hell, the thief was probably waiting for Him to meet him there in paradise. That is a great question to ask my pastor actually.

[@shawntailor5485]

He,the thief, showed humility, god showed us humility by sending his son .

[@Tobeesho]

WHAT does the BIBLE SAY Jesus did while he was (temporarily) in he'll? What was His PURPOSE for descending there? N.B. God ALWAYS has a PURPOSE. HINT: ALL answers to questions in this reply are found ...... in your BIBLE. Please 🙏 pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance BEFORE you read.😊

[@DT-rb7ro]

Share this with a Muslim... The disciples heard what Jesus said, they knew him well and ended up dying for their faith. Only Apostle John lived. The rest died martyrs deaths. They were all convinced that Jesus did die by crucifixion and rose again on the third day. The sudden explosion of Christianity is solid evidence that the Gospel accounts are indeed, legit! Before a word of the Bible was written, Christianity was born. Why? Hundreds saw the reserected Jesus Christ and the message spread like wild fire around the world. To this day Jesus is changing lives, even in places like Gaza, China and Iran. Please give it some more thought ♥️

[@Tobeesho]

The Seed of the woman is still crushing the head of the serpent. Genesis 3:15😊

[@torturedGenius73]

Bunk

[@Dmerc]

Your channel is called “Bible unbound” yet you use terms like “BCE”. I’m all set.

[@Martin-qn1sx]

There’s no biblical rule to use the term BC/AD vs CE/BCE

[@fatimabrugada9908]

Jesus hang 6 hours on the Cross

[@jaypenha5352]

I thought that the wine was actually mixed with a certain medicine to kind of dull the pain of a victim slightly. That does make sense that a roman soldier would have some of thier own stash of wine. It takes a certain type of person to do that to a human being who is probably screaming and crying to his mother or father while they are being nailed to the wood. Its absolutely horrible to do this to a human being, especially if that criminal did not do anything to you personally. You are just a soldier following orders and carrying out the duty. Yuck. I have been in the Army, and i have had my fair share of crappy duties. They call them "details". Any menial task that officers and sergeants don't want to personally do and they order lower ranking guys like myself to carry it out. However........to order soldiers to do this to a human being, I could see why even roman occupying soldiers would want to be drunk while doing this. I can only imagine the PTSD of whatever squad had thier turn with crucifixion duty that week. I never really thought about the soldiers who had to do it. Biblical movies always show Roman soldiers disgustingly enjoying this terrible task. I also have read that the Roman garrison in Jerusalem were soldiers drafted from Thrace and some of those other slavic eastern european roman provinces. Thracian's were notorious for their brutality, which is probably why they made good gladiators (spartacus) and torturers.

[@user-px8ky1sw9f]

I had to hit the thumbs down on this one. Jesus descended into hell literally (Sheol) and brought back those who dwelled in the place of comfort Abraham's bosom.

[@oldfart269]

Jesus wasn't crucified on Friday. He was crucified on Wednesday. He was resurrected on Saturday, just before sundown.

[@royaltyblessed2454]

No Thursday (or Maundy Thursday) was last supper, he was betrayed arrested and tried early Friday (aka Good Friday) morning, then beaten and abused until he gave up his spirit that evening around 3 PM. On Resurrection Sunday his tomb was found empty as he had risen. God bless you.
