She Leaves Once This Christian Brings Up This Topic...

[@LivingWaters]

As Mark shared during his commentary portions, he could have easily pointed out several of the contradictions they were making while actually talking to them. IE: Mansplaining, no such thing as truth, gender is fluid, etc... However, he had no intention of embarrassing them and wanted to keep the main thing the plain thing. @4:45 Mark attempted to share the Gospel with them. He first started with the Law to bring the knowledge of sin (Romans 7:7). Before he could get into the entirety of the Gospel he was shut down. The conversation took a turn and they walked away. Mark was extremely cordial, overly apologetic, and respectful, and had he been given the opportunity to continue sharing with them he would have finished the Gospel message. Things don't always work out the way we would like them to go. We trust the Lord will bring someone else to finish the Gospel message. One person will plant, one will water, but God will bring the increase as He sees fit in order for Him to receive all the Glory and Honor. (1 Corinthians 3:6-8). Please pray for this precious couple that God will open their eyes. Feel free to visit needGod.com if you are questioning where you stand with God. God bless you all.

I have compiled many of my best logical, philosophical, and ontological points on the matter of the nature of God with the hope it will be engaged with and not dismissed or labeled, but considered for it's virtue in the reasoning and evidence it is based on. The first few narratives in Genesis are the root truths of this world and the design of this universe. We are made in the likeness and image of God, male and female. So God is the God of freewill, love, family, gender, work, justice, and mercy. Obscuring the image of God erodes the very stability of human cooperation. The Trinity is a description of God as necessarily timeless, spaceless, and immaterial to be the uncaused cause, completely other, consubstantial, and a Being without limitation. Being cannot exist without limitation. You can't really love a God with no Being, though you can be deluded to. Truth can be formed about God so as form the correct limitations: worlds without end as habitable order, eternal life, and holiness. Those are descriptive words that define coherent limitations apart from just anything. God and Heaven aren't just anything and everything without form to be immaterial. The doctrine of the Trinity sprang from one strong principle rooted in the carnal mind, to find advantage in this fallen world you impose on others for their inferiority. The logic follows like this -- personal devotion and calling from God makes someone superior, as a human being you are inferior to that someone, through imprecise interpretation the inferior are completely other from God, you must do as the self-called devoted say, because they understand the immaterial mystery of God better than you. This obscuring culminated in the Nicene Creed and the consubstantial definition of God, so that there is little of our being related to the form of God. The Nicene Creed is the theological basis for the Trinity. The Trinity is a false idol, built by carnal minds centuries after Christ, that obscures godly love and puts you back on sinking sand. If the image of God were less obscure all would see that none are inferior, the image of God is far more relatable to our own when we are following the commandments of God. Those with more devotion to God behave more along the lines of the virtues of the Sermon on the Mount, and are servants and supporters of all like Jesus and His apostles. Trinitarian churches are organized in opposite fashion to this, with wealth, opulence, and authority showered on their leaders at the top because of their perceived and imposed superiority. The oneness Jesus speaks of in the intercessory prayer(John 17: 20-23) between Him and His Father; is related also to bringing the disciples into that oneness, that unity. By this example it cannot be a prayer to bring these earthly disciples to be consubstantial or the same substance, they are all separate beings with freewill and their own love, but a unity of mind and purpose. Jesus also speaks of the love between the Son and the Father, love has requirements we are all familiar with in relationships, we depend on this example to sustain our own loving relationships and none of us can practice consubstantiation. Similarly men have considered themselves more like God because of gender to impose inferiority and command on women, a false form of love born from the desire to have women. Marriage is given in a ceremony before God, and then when a man and a woman are one the different roles of male and female are acted out as complementary, but not because either are inferior. God is male and female, one flesh, living, and while the female in God is hidden and protected it doesn't mean the scriptures don't plainly say the image and likeness of God has within it male and female. Jesus proclaims in the gospels that God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This family line is the model for God's Being and plan for mankind. Even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which is a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son. Abraham and Isaac are father and son, separate beings, made in the image and likeness of God. Jacob is symbolic in this family line as the behavior to model in humanity, to struggle and overcome the carnal mind, to repent of experienced worldly behavior, to receive forgiveness, and to take up all the responsibilities of inheritance. To signify this Jacob's name was changed to Israel which means "let God prevail." This cycle of separating obscuring belief continues to form all the various sects and doctrines of Trinitarian Christianity we have in the present day. The plain truth is simple and makes nobody inferior to each other, God is exalted, transcended, and perfected human, just as the example and revelation of Jesus Christ. There is one God of salvation by whom we can be brought to the Father (John 14: 6), none before or after Him, and that is Jehovah, who became Jesus the Christ that received all direction and all authority from the Father. A maximally great attribute of personhood and God is to raise a perfect holy heir continually, if you remove this trait from God it is missing that attribute of greatness from His character. The parable of the husbandmen is found in three of the gospels and explains the correct understanding of the householder and the heir. If you deny God is exalted man, with will to love instead of robotic infinity without limitation, you are denying Jesus in the flesh and the divinity of Jesus as an exalted man (i.e. 1 John 2: 22.) There are many other scriptural examples to refute consubstantiation in writings of those called, manifested, and witnessed; here are some: Romans 8: 15-17, Rev. 21: 7-8, and John 6: 57, Matthew 1: 2, Matthew 22: 32. Those that overcome the carnal mind and sin, through repentance and Christ, will inherit the Kingdom of God. Revelation 3: "21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." The Trinity and the Nicene creed is not defended by reason, virtue, or greater ontology but by intimidation, neglect, ignorance, labels, traditional earthly power structures, wealth, and political influence, such things are an abomination to God (i.e. Luke 16: 15).

Talking about the reality of the systems of life isn’t an attack, it’s the human right to speech from the Creator in the Bill of Rights, even if you have chosen to be in a position where it makes you uncomfortable. Abortion advocates have gone too far in their politics and attempts to deny speech rights to babies and classes they don’t tribally identify with, far enough that we now know the position is indefensible with consistent reason, nobody should be silenced and denigrated because you assume with bias and decide it is uncomfortable.

She struck me as a person that’s had an abortion.,… she has yet to repent. I say that because ive been there. My girlfriend in high school had an abortion and I didn’t fight it I just let it happen and I carried that around for a while until finally one day my friend in the marine corps told me he was pro life no matter what. That upset me. I was very mad at him and insisted “you only say that because you’ve never been in that position bro” and he responded “that still doesn’t make abortion okay.” (Unknowing of my past obviously). It was at that point I realized my views on abortion were built to protect myself from the conviction the Holy Spirit would bring. I see that same conviction inside her and that’s why she’s so passionate about it because the moment she admits it’s wrong, she has to face herself. And for an unbeliever in a world without grace, that’s a tough pill to swallow. We need to pray for her guys…

Great points. I felt sad for the woman, that the moment she realized there was a problem with her position she pulled the 'I feel threatened/attacked' card to dodge what she saw was a losing debate (discussion) on that topic. People often are not concerned as much with what is true as what is to their liking. (I'm reminded of John 3:19 -- "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil". Perhaps she was sensing the Holy Spirit working on her (..."And when he [the Holy Spirit] comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment" - John 16:8) ). Great job of being gentle and sensitive with her. Perhaps God will grant her repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth and salvation. She certainly got something to think about.

[@noondayaxeman4668]

John 3.19 always rings in my head. People will not come to the light because they fear their evil deeds might be exposed. Its why the conviction of sin in the sharing of the Gospel must be matched with the sharing of the love of God to forgive us, no matter what we've done.

The meaning of the text is not “unintelligent people do not believe in God”, rather, the meaning of the text is “sinful people do not believe in God”. As many Atheists are highly perspicacious, it is not intelligence or a lack thereof that leads a person to reject belief in God, it is simply a well-reasoned conclusion. Mathew 5:22 “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire”. p.s. *You really should take the time to deeply study and investigate your Bible verses just as thoroughly and honestly as the Atheists do.*

We have blessings and curses, life and death put infront of us and we are to choose life. Sure there are many reasons someone might get a abortion but ultimately you can't deny it is evil or wrong and society would rather accept the evil and call it acceptable instead of fight for the good and what is genuinely pure, upright, and pleasing to God.

I ultimately believe she will be suffering from two traumas if she got the abortion and I don't believe getting a abortion is a genuine help as it is pitched but another horror to haunt someone when God had no desire for any of this to happen and it's best we bring it to God and honor him and in doing that he'll brings healing. There's a video called I forgave my rapist and it's incredibly moving as this women isn't full of hate or pain but has a beautiful child she loves dearly and what was indeed darkness has no victory over her in her life. What a incredible thing if we truly fought for life from the start and as a community helped those who are hurting but man always wants to blame God when he doesn't step in and when he does they blame God for stepping in yet if all of humanity followed his will single mothers wouldn't be a thing outside a widow, children born without a father being there wouldn't be a thing outside of death, and then many commands to care for the widows, the hungry, the hurting are made all throughout the Bible but society says this quick fix eliminates the problem at hand when following God ensures the problem never existed. So someone in their depraved thinking commits an act like rape and let's say we make a exception and say it's okay to abort it, does that mean two people who concented to having sex and now want to abort for no other reason than convenience you condemn? We as humanity call evil good and good evil and this is the most purest example of it. We are to have sex and be blessed with the gift of life passing the gift of life onto offspring and we are to love that offspring, be there for it, be committed to it, ultimately love it as much as we love ourselves and yet we count it as disposable.

The penalty was already paid by Jesus Christ at the cross. All she has to do is say she is sorry and won't abort and/or support again. She does not have to live in guilt and shame. Jesus said, "Whoever is without sin, cast the first stone." Mary Magdelene became one of Jesus' disciplines and followed him to the cross and she even came to his tomb for his body after Jesus was unjustly murdered (for our sins). God loves women.

Gentle? The "walk up to random strangers and barrage them with questions" approach is the complete opposite of gentle. Intellectually honest? Did you see what he said about the stranger saying that they know that they know nothing about what happens after death. Being aware of your knowledge pool is a meta cognitive ability. It's very respectable to be honest about lacking knowledge. Does the guy with the microphone have that big of an ego that acknowledging a lack of knowledge is a "contradictory" position? Does he think he knows everything? Because according to him it'd be contradictory to be aware of your knowledge limitations.

I thank God for the Christian white male who took on this angry prochoicer (me) and showed me kindness and respect and compassion like Mark did. The gentleman who spoke to me gave me three questions: 1. What is the baby’s development at different stages? 2. What are the abortion procedures and which one is humane at those levels of development? 3. How does God feel about it? He challenged me to research these on my own and then come back and have coffee chat about what I found. That night I dove in head first to prove him wrong and I couldn’t stop researching and by the end of the night I was on my face asking God for forgiveness for supporting something I knew nothing about. Thank you Mark for being kind and caring. Keep up the good work!

The "Million Dollar tracs" are so great! So easy to hand people to start a conversation about the gospel. I'm impressed with the smiles every person, so far, that I've given one to. The first day I got them I handed out 8 of them! These are brilliant and I will write a testimony on all the highlights of giving them out. Thank you. They are worth so much in evangelizing.

Great video. As a woman I agree with you Mark 100% A few years ago I agreed with her. I pray she can find truth also.

[@goofy-goobers]

Try this tactic I’ve had great success with: Ask her or the subject… So there’s a girl and she has has a friend - maybe a really good friend. The friend tells this girl that she is pregnant and that her and her husband are expecting their first baby they’ve been trying for. First question is very important : Are you happy for her? In communications tactics it’s a temperature check and a lead question to position the subject in a yes pattern. Follow up question: What would you expect this one friend say to her other friend to congratulate her? You want to the subject to say, “congratulations you’re having a baby”. If she doesn’t right away then another follow up question is how would this friend tell another friend the good news? You can give the people in the scenario names or it’s great to involve the multiple people there in front of you as a part it. Again you’re still trying to get them to say a special phrase - this response from the subject should look something like, guess what!? Brittany told me that Stephanie and Jake are finally having a baby!. Then of even still you can’t get the subject to say the exact phrase “having a baby” then you can follow up with “well is it fair to say that we can expect someone to say congratulations you’re having a baby”. At this point a yes response is what you’re looking for. From there you have your choice of how to point out what they just admitted… “Do you realize what you just admitted?” “What’s the difference between this good news being a baby now but suddenly it’s not a baby if they want an abortion” Personally I think questions at this point are still the best approach because you’re not often going to get the change in heart from a subject at this time. Their pride won’t allow it. But later on when they’re telling the story, or viewers are watching, later they may be convicted by the Holy Spirit. Cheers - great job! Thanks for the service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary!

You stayed focused, were respectful, diffused her defensive remarks, continued to be truthful in a loving way, used scientific facts and used Biblical facts to help them understand logic, you never got riled up by her remarks, stayed confident in the Lord and you were a real gentleman. THIS is how ya do it!! Thank you for showing others the truth while being a good example of a Christian. Thank you sir!

I'm so grateful that God has allowed this ministry to grow on youtube. So helpful with encouraging my evangelism! Having struggled with intense fear to evangelize and talk to non-believers, and then seeing these videos, I feel a 'permission' to do it too. I know Jesus has commanded us to evangelize and He has given me the permission, but this is really helpful! We need Jesus and courage🙌🏼

I can tell by the way she responded that she probably had an abortion before, and that is why she is having such a difficult time being faced with the conviction.

This is a wonderful example! It's hard to watch non-believers with hardened hearts and closed eyes. We really do want to save others. And it's difficult to do so while being patient with a cool head like you did here. It's difficult to not call out the logical fallacies and contradictions, but we KNOW if we do, we will push them away. It's cathartic to share these experiences with our brothers and sisters in Christ, so we know we're not alone. Fallen humanity has undergone a cultivated mental illness. Keep up the good work!
