[@gershomjames]

Amazing Facts can do an amazing fact of faith video about "Water Bears". They are tough and can survive space without a "suit". They are micro-organisms and are the most "indestructible" form of life that I know of.

[@FlameLegend100]

Awesome!

[@maverickmangrum2385]

That is awesome, I love that you used scripture during your video

[@dougalwhi8888]

Although I don't agree with the cross, probably a few other things, I find it both refreshing and impressive that u praise God and used an amazing creature as a fine teaching point to show how God can help folk through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus.

[@cleopatravillian2776]

Love this video I have a year old male

[@wavingsea196]

hey pastor can I ask three questions. how should I live my christian life with the holy spirit? how can I overcome my problems with Jesus? and how can I faithfully obey God through his Commandments? I admit I failed numerous times to keep the Sabbath holy I need some advice thanks

[@whyyouneedmyname2434]

Do research into Ellen G White and her freemasonic connections. Also do research into her false prophecies which she later changed(what does deuterenomy 18:22 and jeremiah 28:9 says about prophecies that dont come to pass). Google Ellen G White grave. She has a freemasonic obelisk right on top of it. All this SDA religion is based on works. Read Galatians and Romans brother, thats why you struggle, thats why you ask how you can have a relation with the Holy Spirit. When you repent of all.your sins, including trusting mens teachings more than Gods you become born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. You feel the change, its supernatural, you feel it from inside out, its complete. You are not saved by sabbath. Nowhere in all new testament it says 10 commandments, it says commandments, not 10 commandments. Those are the 2 commandments spoken by Jesus, love thy God and love thy neighbour. SDA say its the 10 commandments but where does it day that in the new testament? If indeed there were the commandments which were given to Moses than it should include all the commandments. We are no longer under the law, the law was there to point us to Christ brother.

[@Dwbolan77]

NO SDA says you are saved from keeping the Commandments. And yes they are all repeated in the New Testament You keep 10C's because you are saved.. as it says "if you LOVE me keep my commandments" Also, speaking of those who are saved in the last days.. are "those who keep my commandments and have the testimony of Jesus Christ".. also "faith without works is dead" Again we keep his commandments because we love him, not to be saved but because we are saved. Christ when he said "love God" and "Love your neighbor" Christ was summarizing the 10 by the 2 main points of the Law.. this was what others had done before, was summarizing the Law as well... the first 4 of the 10 was our love to God.. and the last 6 our love to man. God didnt make a mistake when he started to write the 10'cs with his hand, they were put on 2 stones on purpose. The 10c's were written by Gods hand and placed inside the ark of the covenant and the ceremonial laws were places in a pocket on the outside of the Ark of the Covenant.. The Ceremonial laws where what Moses wrote, it was these that we shadows of the Christ to come... this is what was nailed to the cross... . The 10 Commandments were not done away with on the Cross, they were fulfilled this also doesnt mean God doesnt mean for us to still follow the 10C's Notice the difference.. one was "nailed" to the Cross.. this was because they were shadows of Christ and Christ was the one they pointed to.. the 10Cs were fullfilled.. . So, yes when it speaks about Commandments the 10C's is what it talks about because they are still in place... The 10Cs' were never meant to be kept to be saved... the Jews when Moses brought down the 10C's said :that all you have said we shall do. This was not to be their response.. they were to see the Law and plead for mercy because they were not able to do it.. They had on their own made a covenant with God that they would keep it.. Of course hours later they broke it. So, then God says.. I will make a better covenant in which he (God) would keep instead... Christ dying on the Cross was the fulfillment of that Covenant. This is why it says "I have not come to abolish but to fulfill. Christ lived a perfect sinless life and died, and in so doing so he keep the Covenant that man wasn't able to keep.. Also, Christ when speaking about the destruction of Jerusalem that would happen well after his death, told about this destruction.. and said .. "pray not that your flight be int he winter or on the Sabbath" That same text if you read the next verse goes right into the end times.. Plus, in Isa 66 you read that : on the New Earth, All flesh will come and worship me on the Sabbath. If it were done away with then why would Christ be expecting his followers to be keeping it well after he died, into the last days.. and then us be keeping it after sin is destroyed as we are on he New Earth. Also, notice that the Sabbath was created before the fall of Man, told that the Sabbath was made for "Man" or in other words.. mankind. expected to keep it after Christs death and we will be keeping it on the New Earth.. Plus to say the 10C's were done away with goes against scripture that says "I did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill"... but that what you then are saying is that we are no longer expected to keep the 10 so now we can, steal, lie, murder ect. Of course not. Lastly, when it says we are "no longer under the law" it does not say.. its not to be kept.. its saying we are no longer under the penalty, the condemnation of the law for those who are in Christ Jesus. For those who are not saved.. the law is still against them,... this is why God said I did not send my Son to condemn, but to save it through him.. This is because the Law of God had already condemned them, and Christ didnt need to do it again. So again, God expects us to keep the 10C's commandments because we love him and we are no longer under the penalty of the law for those who are in Christ.

[@bearvillebear1468]

I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this: Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What does this new way of life entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26 What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you! Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything. Xxxx

[@codemalware326]

can you make a vid about dinosaurs

[@jumanalee3746]

I thought that was an awesome video. but not for using a statue to point to Jesus and talking to him, that's confusing when we try to talk to our catholic friends not to pray to idols.

[@foundationtt6430]

Totally agree! I was like, why did he use a statue/idol, lol

[@angelasen2517]

He didn't say we should we pray to it and its not as if people don't know the famous statue anyway. What would Jesus say......love one another and be kind.

[@mrchubz90]

ppl like u r the problem, trying to rewrite religion its a statue of Jesus we are going to pray to it but we mostly use it as a reminder.

"we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor. 4:18). I urge you do the same.

[@calebfavor7686]

pretty sure the only place real scientists place iguanas origin and home is south and central America.......Any islands and Florida ECT. Had Iguanas brought by accident and as pets.........hence they don't have land predators so the iguana thrives much more than the way they were designed to in their natural ecosystem.....
