I thank God for answering pastor Torrane's prayers and performing those miracles. I also thank Him for sending our helper and advocate Jesus Christ and also the holy spirit to give us the support we need to overcome our superior adversary
I love this video..what a sweet testimony
Jesus didn't die just as a man just but all of humanity! All of creation was in him hanging on that tree!!! already forgiven!! so much glory
I am so happy the God revealed the treachery of GCI. NO ONE CAN TELL GOD WHAT TO DO.
Removing God's name was the most important key to realize that his group has left God.
"So asking is participation in the fact that we are forgiven"
This is an amazing video for any who believe in Jesus, married, have a family ,or in any form of ministry. TY for posting.
God wins!
John 8 : 23 - 24
But He continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I Am the One I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."
Matthew 10 : 28
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell."
Jesus Christ died for ALL, fallen humanity, but we ALL, have to choose to be in Christ.
Do you have more current videos, this series you’re included has been life changing. I have grown from referring to myself as a sinner as he did in the video. Knowing who you are is so important. No dual identity, just one identity and I’m a child of God who sometimes don’t believe or listen to the Triune God.

Before Jesus died on the cross, was the Eternal Son always eternally dying for His creation beyond time?
No. His death on the cross was a "once for all" sacrifice (Hebrews 10) and the faith of everyone before Christ points to Christ and the faith of everyone after Christ points back to him and forward to the day he comes back.
@@josiahsteffan1758 ...I disagree. You sound pretty set in that idea, but I think logic would undo your points.
@@mwngw Why do you say logic would undo what I said? I'm curious to hear your point of view.
@@josiahsteffan1758 ...be back with you later. It's an important subject to me. Thx.
@@josiahsteffan1758...my background: raised a Catholic until 17 years of age, Evangelical 30+ years, now a believer outside those traditions. My original statement came from my perspective as one who embraces metaphor as much as literal words. Human language is metaphorical by nature, even design. I mean that in the sense that words are largely "pointers" to degrees in meaning. Aquinas argued God's existence from gradations, and language has the same properties. In fact, if you stop and think, all words and phrases "point" to something more or less complex. In fact, it's no accident the computer languages evolved the way they did...simply because it's how humans naturally think. I you say..."I know Larry," what you're really saying in 3 words is many, many things, because Larry is a million different things (physical, psyche, spiritual, blue eyes, likes blondes, pale skin, enjoys skiing, receding hairline...and on). So when Jesus says..."the Father and I are One," he means much more than one in agreement. Words are more than just what is written.
God is unchanging,
Jesus is God in Essence,
Therefore, Jesus is unchanging.
Also,
Jesus is the visible image of the Invisible God (Colossians 1:15)
The nature of God is unchanging,
Therefore whatever qualities which were evident about Jesus in His 33 years are also true for the Eternal God.
So you can say in every respect the nature and character of Jesus is exactly the way God is...Father, Son, and Spirit.
So, despite Jesus' 33 years on Earth, was there ever a "time" when God the Eternal Son was not "Saving?" Was there ever a "time" when God was not humble? Submissive? A Servant? Laughing? Weeping? Yes, even Dying.
I submit the Eternal nature and Person of God, beyond all time, in His Essence as Father, Son, Spirit.....was Always saving.
It's a reasonable question to ask from there, exactly WHAT is "Saving" in the eternal sense. But Salvation didn't happen merely on Calvary. It has always been happening.
Does this mean everybody saved regardless of not believing
The Blood of CHRIST was to bridge the gap of sin that was separating Man from GOD so we can go straight to GOD without a Priest or a Church leader. Sin is not the issue during the GRACE dispensation, the issue at hand is your Righteousness. Faith in His work doesn't get you Forgiven, Faith in His work gives you Perfect Righteousness.

God gives us personal responsibility to choose to obey his commandments. He commands to "go and sin no more", because he gives us the ability not to sin, but makes us responsible for using that ability, ie keeping close to Him to receive His grace, His help.
Jesus is god or God's son. Not GOD. He has God's dna or divine family connection but was fully human, the second Adam. Just like the first Adam was human and made by God, so was Jesus.
Jesus is God. Holy spirit is also God. Trinity. 3 in 1.. Jesus was not created by God. He has always been at the Fathers side. Homousia. I Dont If spelled it right. Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. Hypostatic Union. If you believe Jesus was created. Thats the heresy called arianism. Which is rampant in the church still today! Do some more research. God bless you! Jesus Christ!
If any being in the trinity was created, that means there was a time when God was alone. This means he cannot love by nature because there is no one to love, other than himself which would make him self centered, instead of other centered. Trinitatian theology is the difference between gospel and non-gospel.
@@Jordan-hz1wr God is love. Nothing is added to that to make it true. You are making up your own theories to fit your opinions. God's word stands alone.
@@anniemiller7729 Yes, God is love. That is precisely my point. Love requires someone to love. It's either himself, or someone else. Your viewpoint on the trinity determines which. I am not adding anything. This is deductive reasoning by logical necessity.
I'm not sure where you get the phrase "God's word stands alone" from. That's nowhere in scripture. God's "word" is not a book. It's a person. Jesus is the word of God (logos). And that being the case, he was indeed never alone.
John 16:32 - "A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me."
@@Jordan-hz1wr God is love is the essence of who God is. It is his character. Because he is love he created beings to show his love. I never said he loved himself but he can if he wanted to. We are to love others as we love ourselves. It is true the Father was with Jesus during his ministry but that is not the time we were focused on earlier. Nothing is taken away or added because God is love. He is the singular source of all things. To me when you add anything or anyone with God at the beginning or before then it reminds me of Mormonism where other Gods made God of the earth.. Can you find when the angels were created? I am curious.
