@DavidFigueroa-y7m nope. Definitely not.

Everyone is invited. Ezekiel 18:23; John 3:16-17; 1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9 (plenty more where that came from)

Thank YOU, @LolatheCat660! Welcome to the channel.

@mamandmason7094 the greatest trap is making a whole lot from a few verses. Welcome to the channel! Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the comment, @TexasBig. Welcome to the channel. Clarify the comment. Not you are referring to. In previous Shorts, we shared the us/them sentiment that can be promulgated by some. We are trying to move away from that.

🙌 The best place to be.

A worthy point to consider, @snp_king2394. A difficulty arises in subjective views of morality and decision-making. Who chooses the reality or merit beyond self?

@waltershumer4211 agree to disagree (on each count). Solid response though.

@Calitmc thanks for your comment. Welcome to the channel! Each of those questions can be difficult to answer within a short. The related video is linked. You can also scroll up the first video in this series which answers the question (in part).

Thanks for your comment, @TexasBig. Welcome to the channel. Fortunately, sharing the Gospel and the brains of men go hand in hand.

Thank you for your comment, @pauldanielwood. We'd love to hear more of your thoughts.

@@harbortrinity my thoughts are this stuff has been debunked by science

@pauldanielwood science doesn't have the ability to prove or disprove God. This is one thing that scientists, philosophers, and theologians can agree on.

@@harbortrinity you are dead wrong.. but it’s hard to reason with a cult

@pauldanielwood not speaking to the exist of God or not, science as a discipline. All good. Happy Friday. 👍

Thanks for your comment, @jollyrancher521. This is clip is in reference to Colossians 1:15-20. Would love to hear your thoughts about "Who God is?" in reference to these verses as well.

@@harbortrinity Thanks for your response. Colossians 1:15 and 16 says that by means of the Son, the firstborn of every creature, all things were created. When it says "all things", does that mean Jesus is God because nothing existed before Jesus? No. Verse 16 says that all things were created _by_ Jesus Christ, or _through_ Jesus Christ. When it says "all things were created by him", it is understood that this does not include God himself. Paul said something similar in 1 Corinthians 15:27, 28. There it states that God put all things under Jesus' feet. Does that mean that God is also under Jesus’ feet? Paul clarifies in verse 27: "But when he says all things have been subjected, it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him." In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is called the Firstborn of all creation. He was the first of all God's creations. So according to the Bible, Jesus had a beginning. Revelation 3:14 refers to Jesus as "the beginning of the creation by God."

@jollyrancher521 "the firstborn of all creation" speaks to Jesus' incarnation/resurrection. Jesus cannot both be created and God. To deny Jesus' divinity would be to deny a core tenant of the Christian faith (both Christ's divinity and the Trinity).

This a topic (God's sovereignty, benevolence, and power) we'll be covering this weekend, @TomC-IRL. While the question of God can be asked regarding suffering the world. In the absence of an all-powerful question, we are required to ask the question of good in the world as well. The second law of thermodynamics states that disorder will always increase. How can there continue to be good if nature will always lead to disorder?

@ItsKwak 👏🏻 that's the first time I have heard that one. Well done.

Welcome to the channel and conversation, @ItsKwak.

Thanks for your comment, @donaldwatson6621. Welcome to the channel. The true test of faith is when it is needed, not when it is a convenience. We rarely desire moments like that, but it is often when we are refined and developed.

@BaconGamer-1 Thank you! Welcome to the channel.

@arandom_guy1564 🙌 welcome to the channel and conversation

@karenpatterson4107 🙏 agreed!

@bobbibourbonnais1207 appreciate your comment. Glad to hear it resonated with you.

Thank you for your comment, @BrianSmith-jv5od. We are working on our online and outdoor experiences for our weekend services. Stay tuned!

Thank you for your comment, @stephenhagen234. We agree! Invite God in on all things.

AMAZING grace!

@gzusrocks6482 🙌

Yes He is, @azakrzewski33!

@aminedude7907 🙌

@kurtjohnson5576 welcome to the channel and conversation. While we can agree on the initial premise of the existence of God, the discussion of "infinite" is mathematical and scientific. If God is described as infinite, this is a logical conclusion of that statement.

@boedilllard5952 has it though?

That it is, @andrewdelgado5159.

That is an unresolved hypothesis, @jebediahb1793. A distinction in mathematics between natural numbers and real numbers is a distinction between Buzz Lightyear and Cantor.

The best!

@brettlevine5853 why is that?

Also, the analogy wasn't about the existence of God. A different aspect of the nature of God. 👍

@YahwehBYBYahweh welcome to the channel and conversation! Is this related to the video or a comment in general?

Thanks!!

@MikeWazowski1388 welcome to the channel and conversation. The whole video speaks to the thought process. Words have the mening we have ascribed to them. God transcends language and culture yet speaks into them. The English word "God" is of Germanic origin. The Hebrews had multiple words for God, but not all refered to YHWH. The Greeks had one word to refer to god or the gods.

@@harbortrinity thanks for the welcome, but you virtually proved my point for me. God did not decide to call himself God. We did. We have given him many names, none of which we have any evidence or reason to believe he had anything to do with. You say he transcends language but he doesn't. Every language on the planet has a different name for him, and most have different beliefs about him. The belief there is a God at all, seems to be the only thing that does transcend language, and even the god they believe in can't be agreed upon. Words have meaning because WE gave them meaning, not God. I'm sorry, but your claim just doesn't make sense logically.

@MikeWazowski1388 proving God's existence in a 60 second short is a signficant task. Not the intent of this clip. In the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament for Christians), God calls Himself YHWH. That was not given by anyone. The Hebrews used the terms "el" (god) and "elohim" (gods) to describe the gods of the surrounding nation. YHWH would use these terms to describe attributes of Himself in contrast to the other gods (i.e. El-Shaddai = God Almighty, El Elyon = God Most High, etc.). Jehovah is a Latinization of YHWH which includes similar uses (i.e. YHWH/Jehovah Jireh = The Lord Will Provide, YHWH/Jehovah Rapha = The Lord Who Heals, etc.) In the New Testament, the same concept applies to the use of theos in reference to all gods and THE God of Gods (distinguished by a defnite article). Adonai means "lord" and can refer to owners with cultural context. Adonai also serves as a translation of YHWH when New Testmanet writers quote from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. In the same as el in Hebrew and theos in Greek, adonai is used as "the lord of lords."

@@harbortrinity I don't recall asking you to prove God's existent, nor did I imply that's what you were attempting. I have been pretty clear in stating that God did not decide to be called God nor is he called God in every language. Furthermore the idea that God created words, as you claimed in your video, is just not true. Even if you believe that God created mankind, you still must agree that mankind created language. The Bible ages the world to be about, what, 3k years old... Give or take? Sumerians had an entire written language, and we date them to be about 6k years in our past. I'm not arguing God's existence, as I can tell from your point of view on the subject that would be a very cyclical debate. I just think you're wrong in stating that God created language.

@MikeWazowski1388 The references above refer to what God has called Himself, not what people have called Him. The Bible was written over 3000 years (into the first century A.D.). That is not reflective of the age assigned to the Bible but the date on which the authors wrote. It's not a stretch to say that God created all people, people created cultures, cultures assigned value to words, and that no created thing could capture the scope of a creator. That is the essence of the video.

Welcome to the channel and conversation, @i_luvhorses6937. Confusing comment. Not related to the conversation.

Welcome to the conversation, @bradandrews777. Thanks for your comment. While this has been true in certain circumstances, it is not reflected across the board. Jesus' correction in Matthew 19 regarding "hardness of heart" is convicting to all aspects of our culture.

@@harbortrinity Certainly. But you cannot build a reliable marriage if one party can arbitrarily break it up. Very different society than my grandparent's time. And even the churches that say "no divorce" will not enforce that on an unhappy woman in almost all cases. Churches will of course have aspects of society, but even "Bible believing" churches today won't push hard on the value of marriage, at least not on women. Exceptions do exist of course, but they are far rarer than they should be. It sucks for kids too and that is a completely ignored fact.

@bradandrews777 in all these ways (and more), you can see why God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Never the person or people involved, but what it does to families.

@@harbortrinity I completely agree. Even though He allowed for it (due to the hardness of our hearts) He still hates it. Horrible negative impact. I pray more churches take it more seriously. Though that is not too likely right not, unfortunately, since more women go to church than men (often for this reason) and they are the ones who "pay the bills" and are unlikely to get challenged.

Welcome to the channel and conversation, mikecushing7276. There is a difference between translation, transliteration, and alteration. Our English versions of the Bible are translations. There are times when transliteration occurs for a word that does not directly translate (i.e. Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek for Jesus). As you mentioned, state religion and politics are one thing; the name of Jesus is another.

We all miss the mark from time to time, @w3Develops. Unfortunately this is one area where many of us aren't even trying. Keep going!

Welcome to the conversation, @madamedivaloach645! The debate around the day will continue. The heart and commitment will be the bigger issue.

Thanks for you joining the conversation, @Qwakwustephen. The reference in Colossians 2:16 is to Jewish ceremonial days, not the 7-day Sabbath as prescribed in creation and the 10 Commandments. When you look at the Jewish leaders' contention with Jesus, it was over what would be considered "work" on the Sabbath. The plucking of grain on the Sabbath (this week in Mark 2) and the healing of a woman on the Sabbath (last week in Luke 13) were both traditions added to the Sabbath and clearly not the heart. Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed (Luke 5:16), regularly taught within the Sabbath, and celebrated the Passover with His disciples (Luke 22:15). Jesus did not work non stop.

@harbortrinity The Bible was written for the Jewish people and so non Jewish can say that the Bible is not meant for them if we are to accept your twisted interpretation. If we are to consider your twisted interpretation, then non Jewish people (outsiders ) will consider the Bible as "NOT FOR ME" but for the Jewish. I am very surprised that you are twisting Col 2 while Jesus clearly and generally spoke to the day special days. God works everywhere, every day, and no day is bigger than the other. I don't really understand what you mean. Jesus was talking to the Jewish people. Sunday worship was instituted by the pagan Rome but changing the day of worship is not is neither here or there. You are just twisting the Word to make your denominational relevant. The verse is Col 2, and Mark 2 are NOT indirect speech that's need any kind of background interpretation. I am not Jewish so I do not need to follow any Jewish traditions but God knew that NOT everyone is traditionally a Jewish and so He made a way for non Jewish also, that's accepting Him as Lord is what matters not days or special occasions. Jesus is saying there's no day better than the other any other, but you are saying something else. That's wrong. Are saying the Jewish people have different interpretation and non Jewish also have different interpretation. This is ridiculous because of your denomination beliefs. Show me where denomination is even relevant. You are not Jewish so please stop observing the Sabbath if that is your understanding.

@harbortrinity But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and ate the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless? Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.ᐯ But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. [Matt 12:3-8] You are behaving the same manner the Jewish were contending with Christ, telling Him to obey the traditions of the land. But Jesus gave them the right answer. God is everywhere. God works each day. Each day is God's day. Saturday is not special than any other day.

@harbortrinity The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

@harbortrinity ᐯ But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures, say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life [Gal 3>>>>>>] ᐯ I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. [Gal 2:21]

@Leisyt123 the internet (especially social media) can be the best and the worst.

Thanks for joining the conversation.

@ericrocha6065 it is fascinating to see how work culture has changed and what jobs are now in demand. We are seeing the return of trade schools.

No way around it, but it is commonly avoided or ignored.

Thank you for your comment, @user-bv2md8nz4j. There is a whole lot more to Leviticus 19 (and surrounding chapters) than our modern practice of tattos.

💛💛

Thank you for joining in! We've had great feedback engagement online. We plan to keep posting. Hope you do too.

Run to Jesus is some of the best advice for all people, @trishaevergreen5114.
