🎄CHRISTMAS CHESS STREAM!!

[@QDWhite]

Good for you for not being shy to share such a personal message. Thanks.

[@conorvigus7933]

I love that intro, takes a lot of bravery to speak about faith in front of so many people and i pray the lord will one day reward you for it.

[@BillLaretten]

How about pray God stops letting children get kidnapped and raped? If you had the power of a god, would you not stop someone raping a child?

[@MercenarySmash]

Thank you, Nelson :) Merry Christmas to you and your family 😄🎄

[@vivaankohli9448]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@bryansnow1147]

I all ready was a big fan of you, and I am glad to see you being vocal about your views in an age where it isn't often accepted. I suppose it never has been. Merry Christmas!

[@adamgibbs6806]

Merry xmas nelson, you're the best chess channel on KZbin and it isn't even close

[@lyndontrundell6292]

i was gonna say what you said but i dont need to now,and i do conker with what your saying 😃

[@Cratezthebox]

Always a good reminder! The reason for the season.

[@danielhall898]

Merry Christmas Nelson. God bless you and your family.

[@Wendy52355]

Such a dear, sweetheart. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Now you go get em! You deserve that desired 2400!

[@2253frank]

Hardcore aheist here. I appreciate your message. Wishing you merry Christmas.

[@hypercubemaster2729]

Thank you for not making fun of those of us who believe in Christ. It's refreshing to see such a comment from the side of atheism.

[@BillLaretten]

​@@hypercubemaster2729yes yes! AMEN to God for helping me afford my car payment by giving me a raise at my job! If only those children who get raped would have prayed as hard as I did, they would be saved too! Praise Jesus!

[@mikerobinson4126]

Amen for talking about the King 🙏🏻💪🏻

Big thanks Nelson! You are the best!

[@bknipp48103]

Thank you for your comment about the reason for Christmas. Good bless!

[@jessesalazar1038]

Nelson. Glad to hear of the importance of Christ in your life. As a Veteran of the Vietnam war, I too know the importance of that relationship! But for the grace of God, I would’ve never come home! Many was the time I should have died, but each time I survived what should have been my certain death!

[@BillLaretten]

Yes yes god saved you from certain death instead of saving the children being raped and killed. Very nice of him to do that for you! AMEN!

[@akaevoke]

Amen brother!

[@Brandon-kd2rc]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Mr. Lopez!

Tis' the season🎅🏼🎁 Tis' the reason ✝️

[@kobe9702]

Thank you for your sermon Nelson, your faith will impact many ❤. Merry Christmas.

[@BillLaretten]

Yes yes! Faith is they pathway to truth! I have faith that whites are better than blacks! I'm right because I have faith in it! Amen!

merry christmas bro, may God bless you

[@foertschboy]

Appreciate you man. Merry Christmas!!

[@jancurtis7827]

No backlash from me!

[@robertd1953]

Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with us. It's not easy to discuss religion to a chat, but you did so very respectfully. Jesus is the reason for me as well. Merry Christmas, Nelson!🫡

[@pfarrersteinker9419]

Thank you, Nelson! 🎄 merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄

[@Tommy-es4hp]

Amen brother!!

[@ransombaggins9301]

Thanks for sharing your heart. Ignore the haters (I know you know this). Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you for your channel and time.

[@kenweiner3362]

Me and my wife have been watching you for a while now but have never commented... until now. We are glad to hear your message in love!

[@jeremiahdrake9246]

I’m an atheist bro- if anyone gives you crap about sharing a positive message, ignore them. Thanks for your videos, I’ve learned so much. Merry Christmas sir.

​@@ayeq6104 I'm Jewish. Jesus was NOT the messiah

[@natachamartins9835]

Ty for remembering everyone why we celebrate Christmas. It's Jesus birthday and it brings us hope and today I had a fight with my mom before Christmas dinner just for cause cause ppl are forgetting the meaning of Christmas today it's all about shopping n presents and you bring this up on start of vid bring me tears of joy. I'm a long follower and already loved you but today I see that Jesus love you too. Ty

[@BillLaretten]

Lol you think Jesus was born on December 25th? What other holidays that existed before Christmas were there? Ever do any critical thinking?

[@DaDitka]

Merry Christmas to you and all of yours, Mr. Nelson! I sincerely hope it has been the very best you and your family has ever had. God bless and take care.

[@alfienykabutler5919]

You are a great teacher. I read Luke chapter 2 with my kids this morning. They like chess and they love Jesus. 😊

[@adamgibbs6806]

Thanks

[@6ARE8]

3:07 I did. And I’m really excited to watch you playing it with some knowledge. Pretty sure it fits your style of play that I really enjoy. 🤩

[@penguinymous6570]

Thanks Nelson. Chess video is so much better than basketball or football viewing. Backlash--- Though I am not a believer, you will never receive from me. It is your right/privilege as much as mine.

[@creatingonthemargins1089]

Jesus is the reason for the season🎉

[@DamWG18]

He isn't at all

[@AdamtheRed-]

Wrong. Christianity is a rip-off of other, earlier religions. Jesus is a lie.

Blessed Christmas to everyone! "For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace." Isa. 9:6

Merry Christmas!

[@iequalpain]

What do you play this on that give you the show moves options. I only play on brain power an need the advice

[@roblodocus2539]

I’ve always been interested in religion. The belief in a god is something I’ve thought about extensively and the arguments for and against I find fascinating. Although I could not personally come to the conclusion there is one, I particularly enjoy the argument for one in the film Life of Pi. I think one of the most important things in our divisive world is tolerance, celebration of differences, and the ability to discuss these things as friends. I have nothing but respect for those that believe in the various religions I don’t. Thank you Nelson for sharing that moment and your family tradition with us. I appreciated it and wish you, your family, and the rest of the community all the best this Christmas!

[@conorvigus7933]

Jeremiah 29:13 - you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I'm only 17 and living the ways of the bible has truly transformed my life for the better but all I can do is help guide you. I will say though only believe it if you have reason to do so, there's no point believing in something because other people say it's good but searching for it as that verse states can really help make a decision

[@MarkStoddard]

That you can't conclude that God exists doesn't preclude you from believing or having faith that He does.

[@darragiraafet7754]

​@@conorvigus7933and what about you? Did you really search? I mean believing in the religion of your parents because that's all you know that's not what i call searching. I mean what if you are wrong? You need to question everything..

[@jd051572wc]

Thank you! Let’s not forget the reason for the season and the reason for everything!

[@BillLaretten]

Reason for the season is religious conquest and appropriating of existing holidays. I'll never forget now that you've reminded me

[@John-qk3qi]

In the spirit of giving, Santa would play the Botez queen sacrifice gambit.

[@wellutopia2237]

Jesus is King.

[@timothymcilroy108]

Thanks Nelson for sharing, appreciate you sharing about Christ and your chess tactics. Both are big blessings to me!

[@Billbarker57]

Keep it up Nelson! Ring that Christmas bell when the mood takes you, and let nothing come between you and spreading this message! God bless you and yours brother!

[@MarkStoddard]

Thank you for spreading the good news.

[@JayJay-br]

Santa would love the greek gift sacrifice, it's a present after all :)

[@elperro3683]

If an opponent wins a game, does he/she get to retain the points?

[@lyndontrundell6292]

im glad you mentioned what Xmas is all about i asked one of my grand kids why do they think we celebrate Xmas and they answered me with a gallon or so of vomit,hmmm he was only 2 years old

[@HybridDom]

If you did a compilation of your brilliant moves and subsequent victories, that would be a cool video.

[@SM-ie8gn]

For those not Christian, Jesus saved us by bringing to us about the message of love. To love each other, regardless.

[@BillLaretten]

Saved us by giving up a weekend? How does a blood sacrifice "save" us? Also, do you think that everything that happens is a part of God's plan? If so, children being raped is God's plan.

[@jasonmartin4925]

Very Very refreshing to see a streamer at least letting people know where he stands with his beliefs. Thank you so much

[@BillLaretten]

Ah yes. Beliefs that an all powerful god let's kids get raped because it's part of God's plan.

[@LifeChangingWealth]

Let's go Jesus

[@masassarkar3464]

Very nice game

[@Mayberryminiatures]

Don't ever apologize for telling the Truth. Merry Christmas and God bless you and all those you hold dear.

[@ethiokiddo]

Can you please make a video or series about "getting a winning position without queens on the board" or something like that? You are comfortable making queen trades cause you know how to finish those games without your queen, but I bet there's a lot of us that are uncomfortable trading queens yet with just a +1 point advantage..

[@dqreps]

If the guy mouse slipped the bishop, why not just let him have your bishop. No honor in chess i guess LOL

[@WaldoWizard]

why not just resign . let the guy feel a lot better 😅

I read the entire book of Luke and couldn't find where it says that Jesus was born on December 25. Some guidance, please?

[@hypercubemaster2729]

He likely wasn't, but this is when we observe it.

[@snex000]

@@hypercubemaster2729 So then that whole thing about "this is what it's about" was just BS? Why do you get to tell me what it's about when you don't even have the date right? Has it ever occurred to you guys that not everybody wants to participate in what YOU think things are about?

[@hypercubemaster2729]

​@@snex000Dude, you miss the whole point. It doesn't matter the exact chronological date. All that matters is it happened, and I'm not going to argue with you on this. If you're mad about others' beliefs because you don't believe, then oh well. It doesn't matter. Live and let live, or don't and continue to be condescending and miserable.

[@snex000]

@@hypercubemaster2729 It's amazing how you can't tell the difference between believing what you want to believe and telling the world "THIS IS HOW IT IS." You get backlash because you do the latter while insisting you're only doing the former.

​@@snex000 Nope, and people like you are clearly just looking for confrontation, or you wouldn't have responded in the nasty way you did when you were just "looking for guidance", which implies you actually wanted to learn something without making a fuss.
