It’s really wild because it was hidden from me. I think messages with emails automatically go to a spam label. I did email him though and hopefully he gets back to me soon. Thank you so much for letting me know about this. Love you, God bless

@lionsonthepath Yes, I thought that was strange also. The only reason I even noticed it was because the comments said 3, but there were only 2. So I just clicked the "newest" and there it was. I had no idea it would be there. I don't know him, but I know there's a person by that name who would regularly come to the Iivestreans. And I knew you would care. Glad you found it. God bless your day! 💗🙏🏻

Hello! You’re probably within 20-30 minutes if you live in North Raleigh. (I’m in Knightdale.) I highly recommend going to this beautiful park, and bring some apple slices or carrots if you want to feed the goats. There are also some decent walking trails there too, but nothing like what you have in North Raleigh with the Mountain to Sea trail on Falls Lake. That is where I film most of my videos. God bless and let me know if you check it out. I want to do more videos highlighting the local parks. If you have any suggestions I will definitely look into them.

Love you so much my beautiful Sister in Christ! Btw, I looked again for that message from Jake and didn’t see it anywhere. I pray he’s ok. Thank you for giving me his email. God bless!

​@@lionsonthepathGod bless you! The message is still here, but you need to click "newest" to see it for some reason. 💗

Thank you for always giving me such kind and encouraging support. I know it never gets old to me, but I understand I’m not an unbiased source. Haha. Hope you had an amazing Christmas and continue to celebrate all year long. Christ truly is the greatest gift we could ever receive, and He came for all of us. Not sure if you were still on the livestream the other night, but I heard an eagle scream at a park the other day and immediately thought of you. Sadly didn’t spot him, but they are rare in my area and it was clear God was pointing my thoughts towards you. I pray it was some blessing in your life, but if you ever need me for anything please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m still learning to interpret the Divine Language, but I’ve had this type of message two other times and both times it led to a profound sign from God in their lives. God bless you and love you!

God bless you and Merry Christmas!

Absolutely brother. It is one of the most important subjects and I will spend much more time on it in the future. God bless and Merry Christmas!

O Holy Night, Silent Night, Noel, Mary did you Know, and so many more, including a newer one "He Shall Reign", have been so meaningful to me this year. They have literally brought tears to my eyes almost every time I hear them. A Merry Christmas to you and your family! How is your daughter doing? Have been praying for her. Love you, my beautiful Sister in Christ.

Merry Christmas! God bless!

Merry Christmas my beautiful Sister in Christ! I am so thankful that God brought you into my life. The gifts He gives us are far greater than I ever could have imagined.

I have so much to say about these types of videos brother, but it's Christmas and don't have time to get into them in too much detail. Just know that these are a sort of New Age Spirituality / Universalism blend that are very dangerous. You were right to be wary of these. Jesus came in humility and meekness, meaning He held unlimited power to be a Conquering King, yet He chose to fulfill the Suffering Servant prophecies instead. You absolutely are a Chosen One, just not in the way that these videos are saying. These videos were the kinds of things I was watching when I was first saved, but thankfully God gave me the understanding to see through them too. They are playing to your pride and the need to feel important. Jesus says, "The meek shall inherit the earth." Being meek means welding a sword but choosing not to use it. Always lead with love and learn to listen. Show others that you have found the love of God by your actions, not always your words. I learned the hard way that those who tell others they are some sort of prophet are usually just being manipulated by Satan. I also learned that my friends and family aren't going to take my word for it that I've been saved, I have to show them how my life has been transformed. Will speak more on this soon brother. Love you, Merry Christmas!

Absolutely I will be praying for Hilary. May God heal and protect her, wrapping her in His comfort. God bless you and Merry Christmas. Please keep me posted on her progress.

@@lionsonthepath thank you so much. Josh

I pray you are all recovering well for Christmas. I know those winter blues can be overwhelming, especially in the north. God bless you and Merry Christmas!

I’m glad that you think you know anything about me from a short video. Think what you will, and I hope that your suffering ends soon.

@@lionsonthepath The point is, you've not provided us with any of the insights about the phenomenon of human suffering that go deeper than the merely superficial. Either provide us with those deeper insights or at least demonstrate enough good sense to stop talking about the phenomenon all together until you gain those insights. So seriously do I take the subject of suffering that when I observe someone publicly demonstrating their ignorance about it, it's all I can do not to publicly call them out on it.

Merry Christmas! Love you brother!

Amen! Love you Sister Angela! Merry Christmas!

Absolutely, He could create slaves or robots that are incapable of love and devoid of free will. I can see you are passionate about your faith, but it really isn’t a victory like you think it is. In fact, you make so many assumptions, and I see this a lot with people who have an animosity for Christians, or the idea of God in general. Your idea of love being giving a child everything they want so they’re lazy and content, disregards the idea that there is any meaning to life at all. Christians do believe in an all-powerful God, but one who limits Himself. If He were to blatantly show His power to all, then again, we would be slaves to Him. I know I would never want that for my child. I want them free to make their own choices in life, even if it leads to pain. Without suffering and failure, they would never grow.

@@lionsonthepath UTTER BULLSHIT. Faith is the ultimate "COPIUM" that apologists resort to when they have reached the very bottom of the barrel of their BULLSHIT. Faith is SHEEP. Science is for the Intelligent. You ASSume the existence of a MAGIC MAN who can POOF the Universe into existence for its own amusement. According to the first volume of THE HOLY FAIRY TALE, Mud Man and Bone Woman committed the ULTIMATE CRIME by listening to a talking serpent and ate the forbidden fruit For this ABOMNIBAL CRIME, "SIN" comes into MAGIC MAN'S PERFECT WORLD. This in itself is BULLSHIT. Was the Serpent NOT SINFUL when it LIED to BONE WOMAN. But it didn't lie, did it, MAGIC MAN LIED. I see that you have become the usual "LIAR FOR JESUS" You accused me of saying "Your idea of love being giving a child everything they want so they’re lazy and content, disregards the idea that there is any meaning to life at all." LIAR. I just exposed your HYPOCRISY. LIAR. If there is a supreme being who created EVERYTHING and that it hates LIARS....... YOU ARE DOOMED..................... REPENT. SCIENCE SHOWS THE WORKS OF GOD. NOT YOUR FAIRY TALE. YOU WORSHIP A BOOK OF SATAN'S LIES. REPENT.

Wow. Such passion in your hate. Merry Christmas 🎄

@@lionsonthepath HYPOCRITE. There is NO HATE like Christian "Love"

I didn’t say anything awful about you brother, but if something offended you that was not my intent. I was responding to several debates I’ve watched recently (I believe I mentioned the Alex O’Conner debate) and I know the arguments most atheists make. Many actively try to “deconvert” Christians, just as Christians try to convert nonbelievers, so I will always talk to the young Christians whose faith is in danger due to lack of knowledge. I disagree with you that the claim “God is good” is silly or falsifiable. We have no idea what is good without God, and it is simply relative at that point. Christians already believe that God limited Himself. He did this to give us free will, which is absolutely required to have love and meaning in life. If He came to us in any show of power, or even proving He existed, we would be reduced to nothing more than slaves, incapable of doing anything but living in fear of Him. Suffering does not prove that God is not good. Again, you are using your own understanding of what good is and making many assumptions on why God would allow horrible events to happen. You’re assuming so many things, including the fact that you understand the meaning of life. Perhaps God is preparing us for something. Perhaps we are spiritual beings that decided to be born into a physical body. Perhaps there is some purpose we are working towards, and suffering is the only means to that end. (There are literally endless scenarios.) I have many friends who came to faith in Christ after their children were lost in horrible accidents, and I know atheists who have been destroyed by these tragedies. To say I was treating their loss as some form of entertainment by using an analogy for a game is much more awful than any perceived slights I made at you. For an atheist, you have no objective value on human life other than your feelings. You have nothing to offer a parent who just lost their child, except that their meaningless life has come to an end, while Christianity offers the hope of eternal Heaven. Beyond the radical love and profound purpose that Christ offers us, He also radically changed the way we value human life. For example, Romans and Greeks used to leave unwanted babies to die of exposure, and early Christians would go collect them to raise and give them a chance at life. No figure in history changed the way the world valued people more than Jesus did. No figure changed the world in a positive way (or any way at all) more than Christ. Also, Christians absolutely do have a falsifiable claim, but it is in Christ’s resurrection, not the argument about theism. (We are the only religion that has a claim of an event that can void our faith if proven it didn’t happen.) There is no proving or disproving theism, just beliefs based on the best evidence available.

@@lionsonthepath ---------- I disagree with you that the claim “God is good” is silly or falsifiable. We have no idea what is good without God, and it is simply relative at that point. ---------- Let's presume this is true. It doesn't help your case at all, because it simply means that the statement "god is good" is meaningless, if god defines what is good. This is yet another reason to back off of the claim of "god is good," not a reason to double down on it. It's meaningless if it's simply how your god describes itself. ---------- Christians already believe that God limited Himself. He did this to give us free will, which is absolutely required to have love and meaning in life. ---------- No, "christians" don't. SOME christians do. Calvinists do not, there is no biblical support for free will, and the bible speaks against the concept in multiple places. For example, Genesis 15 speaks against any concept of free will, including compatibilism, middle knowledge, or even the "god is outside of time and has just already observed your free will actions" model. ---------- Perhaps there is some purpose we are working towards, and suffering is the only means to that end. ---------- If this is true, then it would mean that god was incapable of reaching a particular goal any other way. (You DID say "only.") If your response is to lower god's capabilities, then you are confirming the conclusion of the logical problem of suffering: that the attributes of all knowledge, all power, and being all good are definitionally incompatible. The weaker you make god, the less falsifiable it becomes. Is that your intent? Because I could very readily accept a reason for suffering being that god was incapable of accomplishing something. ---------- I have many friends who came to faith in Christ after their children were lost in horrible accidents, and I know atheists who have been destroyed by these tragedies. To say I was treating their loss as some form of entertainment by using an analogy for a game is much more awful than any perceived slights I made at you. ---------- Then you shouldn't have put that in your video. It was an extremely hurtful thing to say. If you want to double down on that, good luck, just friendly advice on how to not come across as extremely privileged and grossly insensitive. ---------- Suffering does not prove that God is not good. ---------- If we're letting god define what is good, then you're right, it does not. If your god is limited in power or knowledge, then again it does not. So whether I'd argue this point depends a lot on what you expect this god to be. ---------- For an atheist, you have no objective value on human life other than your feelings. ---------- This is obviously not true. My feelings aren't objective, either. Nor is there such thing as "objective value." Free market capitalism is based upon the fact that value is entirely subjective. You probably recognize this in any other area of life, just not this one. ---------- You have nothing to offer a parent who just lost their child, except that their meaningless life has come to an end, while Christianity offers the hope of eternal Heaven. ---------- The hope I have to offer them is that their child isn't being tortured for eternity. ---------- (We are the only religion that has a claim of an event that can void our faith if proven it didn’t happen.) ---------- Yeah, I was going to ignore this in the video. But if you're going to insist on it... ---------- "The empty tomb of Romulus is a stone sarcophagus discovered in the Roman Forum in 2020 that is believed to be the burial place of the legendary founder of Rome." ----- Titus Livius (Livy), The History of Rome, Book 1 "After these immortal achievements, Romulus held a review of his army at the ‘Caprae Palus’ in the Campus Martius. A violent thunder storm suddenly arose and enveloped the king in so dense a cloud that he was quite invisible to the assembly. From that hour Romulus was no longer seen on earth. When the fears of the Roman youth were allayed by the return of bright, calm sun-shine after such fearful weather, they saw that the royal seat was vacant. Whilst they fully believed the assertion of the Senators, who had been standing close to him, that he had been snatched away to heaven by a whirlwind, still, like men suddenly bereaved, fear and grief kept them for some time speechless. At length, after a few had taken the initiative, the whole of those present hailed Romulus as ‘a god, the son of a god, the King and Father of the City of Rome.’ They put up supplications for his grace and favour, and prayed that he would be propitious to his children and save and protect them. I believe, however, that even then there were some who secretly hinted that he had been torn limb from limb by the senators-a tradition to this effect, though certainly a very dim one, has filtered down to us. The other, which I follow, has been the prevailing one, due, no doubt, to the admiration felt for the man and the apprehensions excited by his disappearance. This generally accepted belief was strengthened by one man's clever device. The tradition runs that Proculus Julius, a man whose authority had weight in matters of even the gravest importance, seeing how deeply the community felt the loss of the king, and how incensed they were against the senators, came forward into the assembly and said: ‘Quirites! at break of dawn, to-day, the Father of this City suddenly descended from heaven and appeared to me. Whilst, thrilled with awe, I stood rapt before him in deepest reverence, praying that I might be pardoned for gazing upon him, ‘Go,’ said he, ‘tell the Romans that it is the will of heaven that my Rome should be the head of all the world. Let them henceforth cultivate the arts of war, and let them know assuredly, and hand down the knowledge to posterity, that no human might can withstand the arms of Rome.’’ It is marvellous what credit was given to this man's story, and how the grief of the people and the army was soothed by the belief which had been created in the immortality of Romulus. ---------- For Romulus, we have an empty tomb and a named eyewitness of "a man whose authority had weight in matters of even the gravest importance"with a certified testimony of Romulus returning from the dead. Can you prove that Romulus did not rise from the dead?

You're right, we should all just never think about the meaning in life because it includes suffering. It would be much better if we were just meaningless, slaves, or robots.

@@lionsonthepath Whoosh

You act as if God is just a puppet master and we are on His strings. We are not slaves to Him. We can freely defy Him and have a choice to love Him or not. I speak to many parents who’ve had children pass away. They are the ones who helped me understand this issue. We are either a slave to God or the problem of evil and suffering must exist.

Absolutely! Mental or physical disabilities can be debilitating, and both of them are horrible, but can lead us to a closer relationship with God. Love you! Merry Christmas!

Especially after all the holidays are said and done! Haha Love you! God bless!

@lionsonthepath 😂

Great to hear from you again brother. I know my livestreams are way too late for many. I’m going to work to start doing some earlier ones after the holidays. Merry Christmas! Love you brother!

I promise you brother, when you form a closer relationship with Christ you will not suffer. You don't have to wait until death to receive your Eternal Reward, you are given it right here on earth through the Holy Spirit. This is not a full understanding of Heaven, but it is a connection to that serenity and love that helps us see how amazing Heaven will be. I promise you, I have been through almost constant pain since I was Born Again, and I haven't suffered once. There has only been a few times when my peace has even been shaken, and I am thankful for that reliance on Christ that made me desperate to throw myself at His feet, because He purified and restored my soul. Trust me my brother, there is nothing more important in life than seeking an intimate bond with Jesus. The more time you put into strengthening your relationship, the more His love will fill your heart. All the tragedies and traumas in life that now seem almost insurmountable will become like tiny bumps in the road.

I don't doubt that you ignore the _useless_ kind of suffering. The suffering by which the sufferer can never be the better for it, but only the worse. And thus, allowing it could never be justified.

But God doesn't care about if we suffer or not because he's supposedly going to send 99% of its population to he!! anyway. What's the point of learning anything about love when God doesn't necessarily show it? To suffer for eternity for, let's say stealing something minor, isn't the sign of an all-loving god, and a person repenting for major crimes like mrder and God forgiving that person isn't the sign of a just god, therefore nullifying the god of the Bible Christian's claim exist. How does anybody learn anything other than they've been put in he!! by an unloving god who knew you were going to hell in the first place?

Isn't it amazing how our suffering brings us closer to Christ? And you're so right, a majority of our suffering is just us feeling sorry for ourselves because life isn't going how we want it. I didn't think I would ever find meaning and purpose in my life after I became disabled. There was a time when I had a little hope that I may figure out some way to achieve my dreams, but then reality would sink in and humble me yet again. Until I was broken enough to fully submit to God's Will, I keep learning that harsh lesson over and over again. We CANNOT lean on our own understanding. It's like trying to swim against the current. It works when we're young and strong, but it is not sustainable. Love you! God bless!

A great man of God late prophet Tb Joshua thought us how much we need God and describe this saying we need God to comb our hear and that is how much we need God .may God see us through in our dark days Amen ❤❤❤

It is so great to hear from you again my brother. I've missed you and I worry that the trials will overcome, but I know that we need these times of solitude and struggles to be forged into who God needs us to be. I am always here if you need me brother, so please reach out. I think about you every day, and I have been drawn to what Jesus said when He returned to Nazareth, "no prophet is relevant in their hometown or among their relatives." It taught me that, if even Christ was not taken seriously among His family and friends, then we should not be expected to either. Love you my brother! God bless

Great to see you on the livestream tonight! We have extremely bipolar weather here in central NC. It got back into the 20's tonight after having 2 days of 70's. I actually miss living in the mountains of northern VA where we had the changing of seasons. We get (relatively) cold in the winter but rarely get snow. I miss the beauty and serenity of freshly fallen powder. (Of course, I keep my winter coat on all year long.😂) Love you! God bless!

The Geargail profile is back! I missed it but it's nice to try out new identities at times. I do think suffering is a gift, but it's a gift that often doesn't become clear for a long time. I have had so much pain (mental and physical) since I've been saved, but I haven't suffered once.
