Good video John! You were answering the questions as I was thinking them. God came to earth in the flesh 2000+ years ago; there were some who believed and others who didn't even as they witnessed the miracles before their very eyes. God could show himself again in the flesh and there are those who would still doubt He is real. And there are those who would know He exists but would still continue in their sinful ways.

Or how can a God-created being who sees His beauty come to fight against Him (the source of love, peace, love, justice, in a PERFECT word)? But what will happen in heaven, we will no longer have the freedom to choose, we will be robots? However Evil will exist, hell is a place of eternal torment.

[@andreipop6460]

Why the death is still here, if in Jesus we have life ? If Adam had bring the death when he joice the sin but Jesus had bring the life when He lived in holynes, why we still go to death ?

[@Bi0Dr01d]

Because the physical body is not what gets saved when a person comes to Christ. The scripture says that the *inward man* is the *New Man.* Being born again refers to a spiritual birth and the scriptures say that the spirit wars against the flesh and the flesh against the spirit. It is when we overcome the flesh and walk in the spirit that we are called the sons of God. I think this is because it is still the same Free Will decision from the beginning until now. In the beginning, it was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil or the Tree of Life. During the time of Moses, God gave the ten commandments and told the people to choose between life and death, God telling us to choose life. In the New covenant, it is the decision to follow after the lusts of the flesh or the fruit of the Spirit. Finally, God will give those who have died in Christ and those who are alive in Christ glorified bodies in The end. that's why the scripture says... *1st Corinthians **15:50**-57* *50* Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. *51* Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, *52* In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. *53* For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. *54* So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. *55* O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? *56* The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. *57* But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

[@Icyyellowsandroutes8823]

Searching for God is almost like the feeling you get 3 1/2 weeks into taking a Calculus course, except instead this feeling is all of the time, where as with Calculus, it only takes up a portion of your time. This is so exhausting. I don't see how an intellectual discrepancy or discrepancies can be solved by "dropping myself off to Jesus." Wouldn't I still be facing the same intellectual hardship? I thought this was supposed to be a spiritual hardship? What do we do when we don't understand if something is intellectual or spiritual? I have even known some people that try to have a strong emotional "encounter" since people might even think that this is the key to understanding God. It's so confusing. Our minds, our emotions, our spirit. How do we know which of these is objectively real when concerning God?

I have tried to adapt it but for some reason it just feels.. strange. Could you please do a video on this? 🙏🙏🙏 would the method be the same as with adults??

[@priyanka3608]

Thank you so much for your videos..I enjoy watching your videos and sharing them.. I am an ex-Hindu from India and the only Christian in my family. I was trying to reach out to my cousin suffering from depression and anxiety.. She is open to me praying with her and i do that.. She says she has a hard time believing in God because she thinks if God is loving why is He punishing her with depression and anxiety which makes her sometimes too debilitated to carry out her normal day-to-day activities. How would you reach out to someone in similar shoes? Though people know of Satan and how he wants to ruin lives , when problems hit them, they blame God because their expectation is from God who is Omnipotent and in control.

Well there’s a simple explanation to this question but people don’t like that solution

[@jesuschristbiblebiblestudy]

"On their arrival in Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax came to Peter and asked him, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the Temple tax?” “Yes, he does,” Peter replied. Then he went into the house. But before he had a chance to speak, Jesus asked him, “What do you think, Peter? Do kings tax their own people or the people they have conquered?” “They tax the people they have conquered,” Peter replied. “Well, then,” Jesus said, “the citizens are free! However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us." (Matthew 17: 24- 27) NLT Prayer: Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins, come into my heart, wash me clean. You are my Lord and my Savior. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

I watch Mr Dorre Love on KZbin and one day He answered this question and I thought it was a beautiful answer so I will just share. The man asked him "Show me a miracle since you have the Holy Spirit inside of you" Mr Dorre answered: " You want me to show you a sign bro. The sign is this, 3 years ago I was a drug dealer, I was a thief, I was a fornicator, I was an adulterer, I was a blasphemer, and Today I am a Child of God. For God to take a fallen person like me and make me Holy? Mann that's a miracle. Someone that was sooo far in my sin and He set me free and now I can proclaim the Name of God? Thats a miracle. He also went on to say that the fact that God is Living inside of him is a miracle. He also said that the scriptures say that for a wicked and perverse generation there will be no sign. The Sign is that the Son of Man will be in the belly of the earth for 3 days and rise from Death. We have a sign. The sign is that Jesus Is Alive. Why do we look for the living amoungst the dead? He also said that the Word of God says, If they don't believe if a man Rises from death there is nothing he can do to make them believe. The sign is that Christ is Alive and He rose from the dead. BY THE WAY Do you know whats a miracle? I wanted to write down Mr Dorre's proof for a miracle for somebody and came back to his video not sure if it was the one I clicked and I just fast forwarded the video just to see if it was the one and I KID YOU NOT.

I've asked this question often and have yet to get an answer that is clearly supported in scripture. More often I get angry replies and accusations so before I ask he question I would like to establish a few things. 1 I was a false convert who realized my error and sought true salvation through believing in Chris, trusting him, and repenting my sins. I am saved by grace through faith 2 I mostly agree with the Lutheran denomination (LCC, LCMS, NOT THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH) 3 I am not part of the SDA church With the third point I am sure some of you will guess my question: When is the Sabbath? What day is it? I respectfully ask any answers to be biblically sound with reference and reverence to scripture. I say reverence because often we (I as well) seek to quote scripture to justify our own ideas and not to both seek and teach God's wisdom. I may ask further questions to any answers given so please bear with me. Thank you for your time and any effort you take to help with this question. God Bless you all!

Its written in Exodus 33:20, No man shall see my face and live. Thats why we cant see God and he doesnt show himself. Obviously our mortal bodies cant handle it and live.

He could split himself into eight billion versions of himself and go knock on the doors of every individual person on Earth.

The reason God doesn't show "Himself" is that God is the first being who created all other "beings" and creatures. He can't create Himself, so God has no form. At least He normally doesn't have form. He does now via Jesus Christ the Lord, the union of God and Man. Jesus is waiting for the 8th Day; also known as the union of physical and spiritual life. The 8th Day is also the 3rd Day, representing 2,000 years until the Second Coming. It is almost here now. Israel has started the official sacrifices, and so has started the last 7 years given by Daniel the prophet. When that ends, the Rapture and Second Coming occur at the same time.

Not that I saw Him physically but I started looking at Christian Apologetics such as Mr Ravi , may he rest in peace, as well as consume myself with videos with scientific evidence that God exists such as the Living Waters' movie Proof for God's Existence and it blew my mind. I had always been fascintated by the Perfect Design of the universe, the human body, the ecosystem but couldn't fathom it. I realised that Nothingness and a Big Bang can't create such accuracy and perfect design, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. Plus I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. And its been a journey ever since. I encourage anyone to ask because why would God hold back truth? Its in our very eyes yet we do not see it. Lets ask God to open our eyes and God is always intentional and purposeful with how He goes about doing things.
