My husband worked at a nursing home of sorts, and he ignored the staff who told him to not preach the gospel. Especially with those who were in their last days. He would stay up with them reading scripture in hopes that they might come to salvation.
Same with my mom. She saw people going both ways and was not going to not give them a choice. She said some went out saying it’s Beautiful, others were scared of what they saw, not everyone goes to Heaven. This is why we have to preach Jesus is Lord and savior, because we can not be good enough to save ourselves. See John 3. Also even if a person is in a coma, your eternal spirit is different from your emotional mind or physical body. You can still reach the Spirit.
If hell and Satan is real, why would he ignore my offer that he can have my soul if he helps me after God lied and tortured me and my trustful heart like so many others over years? Satan would never ignore those that come from God to him
@stonecamis1718 I surrender to God multiple times, seeked Jesus more that you can imagine- with all my heart; and always „righteous and honest“ heart and prayers. I know what I experienced. But Christians always focus on one side. The people that are suffering from Gods ignorance are real as all the positive testimonies. Read your bible. How many did he ki•l ? Forgiveness? Where is a good God if the frauds win and honest belivers taking their li*es because of a broken heart? Those people could have had such a positive impact in this world with at least a little blessing. We are limited by what our hearts can take. And the „all knowing“ creator ignores that. He should know that everyone with an answer of prayer would praise him joyfully and tell others about God. That would make this world better. But God prefers the pain. Thats his ego. Forcing people to live, see their loyalty and doing nothing. I was loyal long enough. God gives 0 comfort to the “heavy loaden” And Satan ? He never wanted to buy my soul as well. A lot of things are wrong here, if even the devil ignores you
@@doctorwhoLASatan already has your soul by default. You don’t need to offer it to him. All you have to do is not believe in Jesus and he has you: ““He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:18
My grandma was always a nice lady but not a Christian. Two weeks before she died (she was perfectly healthy at this point in time) a local pastor knocked on her door and asked her if he could visit her for a bit. She kindly accepted him. The pastor told her that God told him to visit her and that’s why he was there. The conversation led to my grandma getting saved! Two weeks later I got a call saying that Grandma was in the hospital and she was not expected to live. I never got to say goodbye but this miracle happened. At 2am I went to the bathroom. I looked up and a white glowing spirit was hovering over me. It had no arms or legs. Just a head and body. It only lasted a few seconds. I kept batting my eyes thinking am I really seeing what I’m seeing. Then it was gone. A few hours later my dad called me and said that my grandma passed. I told him I know I saw her at 2am. My dad said whatever. (He didn’t believe me). Praise the Lord God Almighty for saving my dear grandma. I love Jesus ❤
A similar story happened in front of someone i knew in Egypt. He was on the bedside of a young man who refused to repent claiming that he will repent when he gets older. The young man's mother was beside him when he died, and he suddenly told her that there are black people riding on black horses coming to get me and he was pointing to them and raising his arm gradually and begging his mother to save him from them, then he immediately died, and his arm fell, then all the people around him started crying.
I'll add another story. My mother once told me this story. Her grandfather or my great grandfather was a devout Buddhist. Shortly before he died, he suddenly started saying there's smoke and fire all around me! What's happening? Why is there so much smoke and fire everywhere?! He was petrified. Even though all his family members with him at the time including my mother as a young woman told him there's no smoke and fire and it's a perfectly bright and sunny day with clear skies. He died some days later. The family members who are Buddhist believe he saw a vision of himself at his own funeral where Buddhist monks light incense candles and the like. But as a Christian I think he saw a vision of hell. 😢
Thank you for adding my experiences as a nurse to your video. It would be wonderful to give us a chance to tell our stories about what we witnessed when Christians were dying. They are so encouraging.
I've talked with both a funeral home director and a hospice nurse, and both agreed that not everyone is in a better place. (Both were not considered Christian believers).
@@UnderWaterExploringMoment of passing. I worked hospice for a year... You see and hear some stuff 😶 Had one guy who couldn't stay off his call light. All the rooms were private, with a nice window and little patio, so the patients and families are able to have the best possible final moments. I worked nights, and this guy (who was not confused at all) was talking about things trying to open the door and the window, things on the ceiling and in the corner. Had another guy seeing a ghost, and it was of the previous girl who died in that room. Said things that only we knew about. Really creepy stuff! Alternately, I had a lady who was in constant pain, no matter what we did or didn't do or give her. I was there for her passing. *After* she died, she had a smile on her face. Not during or before, but after. She never was able to smile the whole time she was there due to pain. Trust me.... We see & hear things you wouldn't believe.
This is so right. I have heard many accounts. I wasn't sure about my mum. I know she had a horrific dream before she died. She wouldn't say what it was, because she was not one to share much of herself. However, when she died, I had a dream and saw her in heaven looking radiant. I'm sure the Lord was sending me a message that she was with him.
YES Jesus saves !!! I Was deemed as an Alcholic my parents kept telling me give your life to Jesus..I never listened until it got real bad...then I gave my life to Christ...I have been sober for 27 years AMEN 🙏
Please mention my mother Joanna in your prayers, she is an alcoholic, was in hospital for a few weeks because of a lung and sepsis, was alcohol free there but on morfine etc., she's third day home under care, and today when everyone was sleeping, she rushed to store and is now drunk... 😢 Without work of the Holy Spirit all is for naught... Salvation is of the Lord but our God is the only God who answers prayers. Please pray also that God gives me wisdom in sharing the gospel I stutter and don't communicate well. Thank you. God bless.
Mahalo Matt....all the way from a peninsula called Monterey Bay, California. Thank you for every word uttered in your messages. I have been admittedly 'binge-watching' your messages of the Gospel......and they have opened my heart and aided me through my born-again path (raised Christian....baptized in Christ....a fall and turning away to diving into new age beliefs....back to Jesus again NOW and FOREVERMORE)! This particular video is truly 'chilling' and eye opening. I appreciate your time and energy....and will be a Newbie on Patreon soon...i'll find you there as well! God Bless you always Matthew 💖
Thank you so much for the wonderful encouragement. God bless you. And thank you for deciding to support this work. I truly appreciate it. I’ll send you a message on Patreon, when you join. God bless you, Matt 🙏
I listened to the testimony of a hospice nurse(maybe we are talking about the same person Yvonne) who, after over 30 years of working there, was able to recognize which of the dying patients was reconciled with God and people, and which ones experienced agony knowing that they were dying (they experienced torture even before death). I wish people to be curious and interested in this topic that, regardless of our faith and preparation, will meet us one day... May we be prepared🙏⌛️ John 14:6
and how do you know that she was able to recognize such things? are you just taking her word for it? I dont understand...why would anyone just assume someone claiming such things is right, especially basing it on one particular religion and ignoring all others...im sure other people of other religions claim the same kinds of things about their god... why should anyone take your word, or this womans, over someone elses word about a different god? im open minded, but it makes no sense to me at this time... this hospice nurse is making just another claim base3d on superstition that tons of other people of totally different religions also make, all with equal amounts of (or lack thereof) evidence or reasons to believe
@@UnderWaterExploring By saying what you say, you only boast about your ignorance and arrogance on topics you have no idea about. Man's nature is rebellious and proud... Humanism has replaced the ability to hear the voice of the Living God. The privilege that God gave us to make choices has become for many people a cliff from which they fall into a spiritual abyss, exposing themselves to eternal damnation. Regardless of what you decide to believe, it is worth being true to yourself by answering basic questions about life here on earth and life after death. Listen to the stories of people who survived clinical death. For me, the best stories are those of atheists (former ones) and children without their ideological influences. A hardened heart must humble itself before God and admit its own lack of knowledge 😉...👉📖. The commandment from God is to love God with all your heart..., seeking HIS face brings answers, peace, joy and fulfillment in life (it does not protect against difficulties, as many claim). Matthew 6:33 Romans 1:18-32 Seek the truth because your views will be verified. John 3:3 /NIV/ 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again”
@@UnderWaterExploring The Bible predicts the future which is something only the Creator of time can do. There are future prophecies in the Bible that are stated in the past tense. The God of the Bible speaks to His children from outside of time.
@@ivonkwAn6443 1.nobody "decides" what they believe or dont believe. 2. you tell me i need to answer basic questions, but you didnt answer any of my very reasonable, basic, and relevant questions. so i dont know why you are the one telling me that im arrogant and ignorant. your reply was full of arrogance and condescension 3. nobody has ever survived clinical death 4. i dont love anyone or anything when its being "commanded" of me. thats not how love works. i get tired of hearing people tell me that i need to "seek the truth" in order to accept some god...people from ALL religions tell others the exact same thing as you are telling me. why are you different from those people? 5. i asked you reasonable questions, and said i am open minded, yet you say im arrogant and ignorant and then YOU go on to say arrogant and condescneding and pretentious things to me..again, i dont understand people like you. i ask basic questions and you reply with no answers and nothing but religious assertions and bible verses... ive read the bible. you have also. so why do you think im ignorant about this stuff and you somehow are not? you dont even know me. and i never claimed to have knowledge about this stuff, even though i do. YOU did.
@@UnderWaterExploring I've seen a lot in my life, I'll tell you more, I was a debater myself, I questioned many things that ultimately saved me(by God's grace)from eternal damnation. Faith is something that needs to be nourished, the kingdom of God is SOMETHING that must be sought. I know, talking about colors to someone who has never seen them is very difficult You are talking about the human kind of love, which invents various rules - but God's rules are unchangeable, liberating and bringing peace to the heart, which nothing and no man can give. If you don't want to know the TRUTH, there is no way you will know it because of arrogance. If you knew the Bible even a little (I'm not talking about reading it like other books), you would know that the times we live in will soon boil people's brains with fear of what is really coming. Return to the lecturer WITH A PRAYER for understanding SOMETHING that will not come together through the prism of humanism, but with God's help "YOU WILL MAKE A DISCOVERY FOR ETERNITY." I wish you this with all my heart. Remember, God is only found by those who seek Him... Don't waste your time philosophizing, I promise you'll regret it
I grew up Jehovah's Witnesses. Left and eventually became an atheist. Yeats later I had a vision and came to believe in Jesus. My testimony is in my channel. God bless!
How do you get people to want to listen? I don’t even really meet people often, people are just so busy now and don’t have time! Any tips (new to witnessing)🙏🏼
@sandraratliff2572 I'd recommend being part of a good local church so you can go out with other people in the congregation. We usually buy gospel tracts from Koorong and offer to hand them out to people. Sometimes, people are willing to talk and have questions. But also remember getting rejected is part of taking up our cross. It does help when you're with other believers so you can encourage each other after tough encounters.
@@sandraratliff2572 Best 4-mat I used N the past was "Share JESUS without Fear". It uses 5 basic scriptures that you have them read out loud. Then you ket the Holy Spirit work. Sometimes all you do is plant a seed...
@@sandraratliff2572 Just something fairly recently that I've noticed is when someone starts talking about issues, difficulties, illness etc, then asking something like this helps... "has anyone ever prayed with you about that?" Then explain that you are a Christian and often come to him in prayer, and also explain what it means to turn from sin, and trust in Jesus. I hope that helps, I'd love to hear how you get on!
Thank you Matt. I only last week have organised pastoral care to visit with my dear dad in a nursing home who was placed in there against his will. He sadly was diagnosed with dementia in 2019.. and has been isolated by my sister, who took him hours away from his original home and from other family members. I don't ask for prayers much at all, but may I please ask of you all to pray for my dad John, who is 86 years old, that he receives Jesus and that the Holy Spirit pierce my dads heart, and trumps this horrible disease that takes away memory, so he may SEE and KNOW Jesus before he is taken. I have prayed Jesus appears to my dad in a dream or something. I am sadly not close at all to visit often. He still walks and talks, but memory not good and I am sure meds they have him on don't help at all. I am so scared he won't understand who Jesus is.. it breaks me... I thank you so much for your prayers in advance. Be blessed all, in Jesus/Yeshua's name.
@@lionoffireraw Oh Matt, I really understand and can picture you doing so. I have also prayed and even think that our Father will be kind and merciful to all who have lost memory and cognitive abilities. Our Father would ALREADY know the disadvantage they have over others who are sound in mind. I believe our intercessory prayers for them WILL be heard and acknowledged from above. He knows THEY have NO choice but to succumb to this cruel condition. I have bawled my eyes out over this. Thanks for the prayers Matt, my dad's name is John. What is your grand mothers name? I too pray for all who are especially unable to understand due to medical reasons. Be blessed dear one. 🙏🙏🙏
I have worked hospice, it is very obvious near the end who is saved and who is not. Very unsettling and even scary. I got kicked out of a home once due to this, a woman in my care was in tears and asking me to “stop the monsters” all I knew to do was pray for her and with her, her atheist family saw me proclaiming Gods love and begging his help and forgiveness for her and told me to leave. I could hear her begging them to save her from the monsters as I left, she died the next day, fifteen years later this still bothers me.
Great presentation of the good news in contrast to stark reality of death without Jesus. All those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ❤
A similar scenario was well portrayed, I thought, in the movie "Ghost". The empathetic and merciful side of me feels horrible for these lost souls. But the side of me that loves justice says it was their free choice, they are only getting what they chose. Brings to mind the saying: There, but for the grace of God, go I. I was an ardent atheist in my youth, but was given a deep love of the truth, such that when I finally decided to give "that Bible" a chance, I immediately recognized and realized I had found THE truth in Jesus Christ and the gospel plan. I was such a strong candidate for atheism and unbelief, yet out of His love, the Lord made sure I got the call. This is the second video of LFR I have seen. One of the most genuine and credible YT channels of this type. And the charming Aussie accent doesn't hurt. Thanks. (Pls forgive if you are a NZ).
About 18 years ago I read a book about a man who became a country doctor. Because of it being a poor region, not many people had the medical comfort of dying in hospital, so he was beside many a bedside of both believers and unbelievers. Don’t remember the books name, nor do I have it any longer. I was compelled to give it to my then doctor. We would always disagree on testing she wanted done and I’d have none of it. She knew I was a believer as we spoke about it many times. She loves to read and was happy for a new book, but not so much when I explained what it was about. I asked her to please read it if only to disprove what I’d been telling her. Unfortunately, we parted company a few months later and I never knew how her life went after that.
I'm now taking care of a man who is a strong narcissist. He causes divisions everywhere and within his family. All his life he was a church man and promoting his writings which are horrible! He's on hospice now and he is afraid to die! He says God has work for him to do passing out these writings. His cognitive function is poor, his memory is going but his obsession with himself and his writings is crazy. I've done caregiving for over 20 years and had a dozen on hospice. One woke up in the middle of the night screaming the house was on fire!. I knew what he really had a glimpse of. I'm afraid my current client will also experience some type of heat. I have tried talking to him but he's really a narcissist to the core. Time will tell.
Do what you CAN do, while you can. These narcs need ALL the help they can get. Please don't let HIS pride come between you and introducing and showing him the REAL Jesus that is meant to live in you IF you are a believer and serious follower too?!! Maybe you can ask him to write who Jesus is and says and what it means to accept Him as his saviour and get him to somehow accept Jesus via writing somehow?? Time is SHORT for us all and take advantage of your clients communication skills that he has left... Be blessed!
That's pretty scary to think of dying without the Lord by your side but by then it's all too late if only people would realise what's at stake dear heavenly father you are my everything I love Lord I praise your holy name amen and amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. To those who are not saved, Born again Christians, please repent - ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins and then ask the Lord Jesus to be your Lord and Savior ❤️🙏
This is why we must always keep praying for our lost friends and family members. Even seemingly lost causes. God hears us. And he is capable of anything. In Jesus’s name!
why? are your friends bad people? do they lack something you possess just because you believe in what they do not? i dont understand.... why do you feel like your friends need to be christians? are they less than you in some way? are you somehow more enlightened or a better person than they are? why do you feel like your friends need to believe in the same god you do? why is it important to you? what if you are wrong? are you an open minded person? is it possible you are wrong about your god and religion? if you cant admit that you might be wrong, id ask you if your friends would take that kind of stance against you about something? like would they say "i hope i can lead her away from christ before i die" ? if they would, why do you think they would or do say that? im trying to figure out why christians seem to think that non christians are fundamentally lacking or less than others in some way just because they arent chrstian, and why christians think good of themselves when they try to recruit others into their religion is that what friends do? i dont have christian friends that hope to make me a christian, and i dont want to make my christian friends atheists. we can discuss the topics without trying to "win" them or change peoples beliefs one way or the other, and we sure dont put ourselves on pedestals and say things like we hope our friends go to one belief or the other.. do your friends WANT to be led to christ? if they dont, why would you want to lead them? why would you even try?
@@UnderWaterExploring no, we are not better than agnostic or atheist friends and relatives. We are all sinners. However, as Christians, we feel absolutely blessed by God’s grace. It is breathtaking, yet a little scary at the same time, when Jesus very clearly says He is the Only Way to Heaven. Other religions sound nice, but none can deal with sin. We have all sinned. God’s standard of sin is too high. Even small thefts and lying count as sin. However, God’s Grace is abundant. And that is done by repenting, turning from sin, and asking Jesus for forgiveness. God bless you! And may the Lord soften your heart!
@@UnderWaterExploringwe believe there is life after death only for those who are in Christ, the way, the truth and the LIFE. That is why it is important. He it was who paid the price. Not Buddha or Muhammad, who both tempt people away from Christ and into lies and error and do the work of the father of lies.
@@UnderWaterExploring you are looking at it wrong. We don't think we are better than anyone else, in fact we are more aware of what sinners we really are. We only strive to enlighten our friends and others because now that we are enlightened , we do not want anyone to go to hell. If we tell you the good news and you choose not to accept it or believe it, that's up to you but what kind of friend or human being would we be if we didn't at least inform you. You might never hear the good news if we didn't tell you. We don't want to take the chance that you might miss the opportunity to hear it and believe it and get the chance to be with God forever. That's being a caring, loving friend. And that's the gist of the whole thing. Not being superior or anything. Just being loving. And look at it this way - if we are wrong, you will have lost nothing - but if we are right and you didn't listen - you will have lost EVERYTHING. Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Just think about it - for the sake of your soul.
The spiritual fruit is evident in your life that got me to subscribe. But that's not the highlight of it. It's the message you give that's more alluring to me. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the encouragement. If you want to see the video about my relative’s experience, the link is below ⬇️ ua-cam.com/video/VJNmIVAHFJg/v-deo.htmlsi=CKuSRQR2m177Bae4
Thank you for this video. Ive always believed in God but wasnt particularly religious until i became born again earlier this year. My grandad passed away 3 years ago now. While no-one was with him when he passed, i visited him in hospital the day before his death for a few hours. My mum and nan stayed longer and said even that night he was saying "help me, help me" and seemed very distressed. He was a kind and loving man but unfortunately he wasnt religious and im pretty sure he was an atheist. As i wasnt interested in religion then i never spoke to him on such matters. I only hope and pray he saw the light before it was too late, as he definitely saw something bad in the hours before he passed.
Brother Matt, I had an Uncle whom I loved very much, he was addicted to alcohol, pornography and younger girls from the top less establishments. He would buy them things and pay for sex. He had a wonderful wife who just couldn't put up with his sin and I don't blame her. I tried to talk to him about The Lord and sin with no luck. He told me that he wasn't scared of dying, a little while later he was diagnosed with a cirrhosis of the liver from drinking. I remember him crying to my grandmother that he didn't want to die. He passed 3 days later in her home. I had to clean his little shack of a home up afterwards. I filled the bed of my Ford F-250 truck halfway up with tapes, magazines, printed pictures and personal pictures of pure nastiness. I burned anything that would burn and drove over all of the video tapes. I often think of where he is now and pray that he asked for forgiveness. It amazed me of how deep in sin he was. He always told me to get to his place before my grandmother did if anything happened to him, and I did thankfully. Love from North Central Florida. Keep up the good work.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace; according to thy word; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
When I was a child growing up in the Methodist Church, they always used to sing that doxology after every service. It "sounds Christian," but far from it. Those words are the antithesis of the truth of the Bible. "As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be" The perfection of the Garden of Eden does NOT exist now. What exists now will NOT be forever. "World without end, amen." This world will assuredly come to an end, to be replaced by a perfect new world untarnished by sin and rebellion. I discovered that this deceptive song is sung in Freemasonic Lodges, and from there, was introduced into the churches.
@@rubygray7749 Thank you for the warning Ruby, I will look into it; the source is 1662 Book of Common Prayer so I will look back into the notes on the text. Thanks again.
The reality is that most of us dont experience the spiritual and therefore dont acknowledge the this world is temporary and that we cannot see is eternal.
The truth is that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning. Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead. When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed. All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃 See the channel: “Testify”, for evidence. ✅ Historical reliability of the gospels ⬇️ ua-cam.com/play/PLbVf0T8-zFVhvQKOcYzK_57dYUr20lHWB.html&si=xmw74vVtGFwxTI61 ✅ Evidence for the resurrection of Jesus ⬇️ ua-cam.com/play/PLbVf0T8-zFVhNhIx3lLZCDRhrdsD7vRS1.html&si=9XV8uKOKcVRMRXWs If you can believe this, there are actually people today (and I mean full grown adults!!), who believe that our ancestors are fish and bacteria!! 🤦🏼♂️
Romans 1:18-21 According to scripture, God reveals His existence and evidence to mankind by His sustained creation. Mankind experiences it every day but naturally rejects and resists God, so is without excuse. Mankind has a conscience given by God being moral agents made in His likeness but we will not go to God that we might have life. Only by mercy, grace by the Holy Spirit does anyone make it Jesus Christ the Savior. AMEN!!!
To believers, our time on Earth will be the closest to Hell we'll ever get to. To unbelievers, their time on Earth will be the closest to Heaven they'll ever get to.
Hi Matt Yes i witnessed this as you now Terrifying, very sad for a christian to witness this especially from a non believer family member. Great video for non believers. wake up before it’s too late. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
when is it too late, if you can be saved as long as you come to jesus right before you die? why is that even necessary? shouldnt it be about how a person lived their natura life and how they treated their fellow humans and all other life?
If we were to be judged by that, every single, one of us would be guilty. God’s standard is moral perfection in thought, word, and deed. We cannot save ourselves, but Jesus Christ died on the cross to save us. Those who repent, and put their trust in him, will receive forgiveness of sins, and eternal life.
I'm glad I'm saved and know were I'm going. I LOVE MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND I'M SO THANKFUL JESUS DIED FOR ME. Maybe my last 3 words might be. It is finished. GOD BLESS YOU.
I'd be interested in hearing a comparison between deathbed experiences of Christians vs deathbed experiences of people in other religions. I'm obviously a dedicated Christian now, but I just would like to know what for example a "new ager" experiences. What does a hardcore occultist/witch experience? What does a buddhist experience? What does a Muslim experience? What does an Orthodox Jew experience? Hindu? Sikh? etc... My step-grandmother on my dad's side was new age... ya know, she would always leave by saying "love and light", and she always seemed so gentle and caring... and while I didn't see her at her death, I saw her shortly before, and she became kind of mean and was demanding everyone to bring her all of this junkfood that she would've never eaten before. It was kind of disturbing. We found out after she died that she basically betrayed my grandpa, sold all the vintage guns he had collected which were supposed to go to our famil;y, and gave grandpa's house and all of his wealth (which apparently was still quite a bit even though he died way back in 1992) over to her family... cut us completely out. The things you find out when someone passes away... (To be fair, she had some kind of brain tumor and I don't think she was herself anymore, and her son was kind of a sheister, so he may have manipulated her into that... but maybe not.)
I had two experiences with dying individuals. One mom mother who had a faith her whole life, got cancer and was not able to pray any more, she didn’t understand the character of God. However, when I said goodbye to her and gave her a hug she said to me I hope to see you again. To me she had he4 faith again. She wasn’t taught scripture and never knew how to study her Bible. Her sister got cancer and we talked about spiritual things. She was curious and needed comfort. She told me about a dream she recently had where her and her husband that ha$ died in a plane crash over fourty years prior were running and playing in a field like brother and sister not husband and wife. That indicated to m3 that God was with her. The nurses at her death bed said she was a gracious woman. I wish I could have the time back because I would share the Bible on the state of the dead. Almost all Christian’s don’t understand that when we die we sleep and wait for the resurrection. We do not go to heaven or hell. That doesn’t happen until the judgement. These experiences teach me so that I can help someone who is dying. Too often we have horrible death bed experiences because of wrong theology. My husband and I also had separate dreams of our best man from our wedding on the night of his death. That was very interesting.
No, you are mistaken. When Christians die, they enter an intermediate state, "alive in the spirit," but before the resurrection of their bodies. "To be with Christ, which is far better." "And so shall we ever be with the Lord." Prior to Jesus' resurrection, both the saints and unbelievers went down into Hades, the holding place of departed souls. The righteous went to "Abraham's bosom" to be comforted, while the wicked went to a place in view of the coming horrors of hell into which they will eventually be cast. When Jesus died, "being put to death in the flesh but being made alive in the spirit," he descended into Hades and preached to the souls there. When he rose into heaven, he took the righteous souls into heaven with him. "When he ascended on high, he took captivity captive". It is the Christian's body which has the appearance of "sleep". The spirit is alive into God. 1Th 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.
I was 📖 reading in the Bible, that some Christian believers are given the gift of miracles. What does it really mean, and is there any danger of such a gift unknowingly being used for witchcraft? For example are telekinesis, and manifestation really evil witchcraft, or can they be used by God in a Christian believer to serve others. Is it possible to have such abilities for the glory of God? When it says in the Bible “to believe you have received, and ye shall have it” is this the basis of the prosperity gospel? I know we’re commanded to have faith, but when and where does faith become witchcraft? Please help me.
When you receive the Holy Spirit, God himself comes into you and no devil can enter you from this point. At this point you may receive the gifts of the Spirit. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are used for the benefit of God, Christ’s Kingdom and believers. Any wicked spirit, giving other gifts which are against these things is witchcraft. If someone has something like telecommunication which was given by a demonic spirit, that will be removed when the person becomes a Christian. When the Holy Spirit enters a person all demonic spirits are removed, so witchcraft in that sense is no longer possible. Basically, no. The gifts of the Spirit can not be used for witchcraft if the gifts are truly from God; because God removes all demons from you and gives his own Spirit to you. The Holy Spirit gives these gifts for the glory of God. Keep reading about it, it’ll really bless you. God Bless you!
Ok so I don't usually respond to comments on UA-cam but this is something that God has shown me the last couple years and I feel so passionate about helping others understand this. There are Christians practicing witchcraft unknowingly. Those are forms of witchcraft, yes. You don't have to have demonic spirits to practice witchcraft. Many Christians are practicing witchcraft unknowingly by practicing manifestation. Manifestation is declaring something will happen until it does, trying to manipulate things the way you want. Witchcraft is the manipulation of trying to get people to do what you want or get what you want. Other forms of witchcraft would be playing with crystals or relying on astrology to dictate your life. I don't know much about telekinesis but I never heard of this being a gift of the Spirit . Is that when you move stuff with your mind? I know of people who came out of witchcraft that said they thought they were moving stuff with their mind but it was demonic spirits moving things around. Please please stay away from telekinesis and command any spirits lingering in your home to leave in Jesus name. There are a lot of testimonies of people who have come out of witchcraft and they all say the same things basically. If it's not glorifying God then it's not a gift from God. Keep reading your Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you! Pray he gives you discernment, wisdom and clarity in regards to these things. He is so good and answers in amazing ways when we come to him with our questions
I'm going to respectfully disagree with the answer above. Scripture tells us to have NOTHING to do with witchcraft, and things such as telekinesis and manifesting (or tarot cards, astrology, yoga, or any other occult practice) needs to be repented of and renounced out loud. You may want to look up some deliverance videos (like from Derrick Prince, Isaiah, Saldivar, John Ramirez, etc) or teachings from Christians who were saved out of witchcraft. They understand the power and influence those things can have on people, and can be very encouraging as they teach total freedom in Christ. As for your question about what constitutes witchcraft, Derek Prince had an interesting definition that I will try to paraphrase (and will probably mangle): "witchcraft is anything where we are trying to manipulate things in the spiritual realm", which I think is a fair description of trying to "manifest wealth", for instance. In short, please have nothing to do with supposed "gifts" like telekinesis or any other gift not mentioned or used by the disciples. May God bless you in your walk with Christ. 🙂
Don't ever think that God has given up on you! If you have breath in your body call on Jesus Christ to forgive and save you. He loves us more than we know. But we must make that decision while on earth 🌎
I've actually put together a video to share with my family and friends on this very topic. It's having a big impact on them and I know it was all God, I didn't plan any of it. Just fell together
I am a Christian already. I've watched Near Death experience videos on UA-cam and they seem very similar to these accounts. I am not sure if a Christian should watch Near Death experiences but I did as I was curious. We can know this: there is a heaven and hell, God is real, Jesus is God's Son and died for our sins and rose again. It is hard for us humans to understand everything. ❤
my uncle served God all his life up til Lord took him home in 2009 when he was in hospital and was ready to die he said to his christian friends........see Jesus hes coming to get me they said he had the biggest smile on his face then Lord took him so ppls come to the Lord he loves us all doesnt want for anyone to go to hell Jesus cried for all of us and hearing these stories is a spiritual wake up call for everyone i hope ppl do realize as Jesus said i am the way the truth and the life amen an amen ☺❤🙏🧔♀💐
So, John 11:11 After he said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him.” Lazarus was dead 4 days before Christ raised him and Christ said in verse 14, Lazarus is dead. Where was Lazarus for 4 days? If he was in heaven it would be not so great for Lazarus to be brought back to earth. And all these "hell stories" none are consistent with each other. Told you really believe the Bible then the dead are dead til the resurrection, judgement. Even Paul of Tarsus speaks of those that are asleep, the dead in Christ, will rise at the resurrection. Right before one dies their brain goes into overdrive for a few seconds before they pass. People might see demons at that state. And you don't choose Christ, He chooses you. Many are called but few are CHOSEN
@@lionoffireraw An answer clearly contradicted by the history and teaching of they church from its very beginning until now. In baptism we are claimed by Christ and we receive his light of salvation. It is essential. Baptism of desire such as the good thief received is very, very rare, but possible. Baptism washes away the stain of original sin we inherited from our first parents.
@@lionoffireraw Dear Matt, I am pretty new to the Lord. I choose to believe Jesus is real and died on the cross for us. I am learning as I go but sometimes I am very confused. I have heard that there are many Christians and this confuses me. Something I watched a few weeks ago said that there is and will be many Christians in Hell. I have always had a hard time with reading, in fact I hate to read. My sister loves to read. My point is when I do force myself to read the Bible. (and which one to try to read is also a question for me) most of it doesn't make sense to me. Many of the people seem to have more than one name etc. I wish it was just simple reading but for me it isn't. I don't know special prayers, I just talk to Jesus like he's my friend. I always tell Jesus that I'm stupid and don't understand what I'm reading. :( I've asked him to let me understand what I'm reading but so far he hasn't answered that prayer. I'm also confused about God vs Jesus. I've heard pray to Jesus not God or maybe the other way around. This is really bugging me. Most of all I just want to pray to the right Lord and learn more as I go. I am a child when it comes to all of what I read but I certainly have faith that God had to have created the sky, sea, fish, bugs, plants ( I am an avid gardener) mammals, trees and on and on. It JUST HAS TO BE SO.... Sorry to go on and on Matt. I am glad to have found your channel and wish I had others to talk to about all of this. PS: I wouldn't mind getting baptized but I wouldn't know where to go. HUGS
To me speaking in tongues is praying in the spirit. John chapter 3 says the spirit blows where it wills and you hear the sound thereof, so is everyone that is born of the spirit(bible Numerics version). Also obviously Jesus baptizes with the holy spirit. And the believer then speaks with new tongues. Mark 16:17.
The true gift of tongues exists (in another known human language), but the “tongues” that we see today in many churches is not biblical at all. I’ve demonstrated this definitively in the video below! There is not a single instance in Scripture of “tongues” as a private prayer language. This form of tongues simply doesn’t exist, biblically, and is actually a 19th Century invention! ua-cam.com/video/ovIFlCMsgqM/v-deo.htmlsi=LuxyVhyrKm2WTSlt
1 Corinthians 14:2 "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. "
@@daughterofenoch677 You can't the Holy Spirit living in a believer and flow without Love. You can't fellowship with the Holy Spirit and flow without Love. Therefore the issue of Love shouldn't be a thing that you should stop an Individual receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
We all know the Son of God. Even before the birth of Jesus, wise men recognised him and testified of him.👇🏼 Daniel 3:24-25 "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; *and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God* "
Repent DOES NOT mean turning from sins! Acts 19:4 defines the message of repentance John preached which was to believe on him on christ jesus. Acts 19:4-Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of REPENTANCE, saying unto the people, that they should BELIEVE ON HIM which should come after him, that is, ON CHRIST JESUS. Notice, it says ''BELIEVE ON HIM ON CHRIST JESUS'', no mention of ''turning from sins to be saved'', that's works salvation. Also, Exodus 32:14, Genesis 6:6, Amos 7:3-6 says ''God repented'' supporting ''repentance does not mean turning from sins''. Exodus 32:14-And the LORD REPENTED of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. Once you believe in Jesus Christ, The Son of God, Christ promises eternal life, you're saved forever, Once Saved Always Saved! Salvation can NEVER be lost! Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day!
We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone. When a person exercises true saving faith, they are born again. When a person is born again, this produces a transformation. The works that come from this transformation are NOT meritorious of salvation in ANY way, but rather are the evidence of the born-again experience. This is the gospel of grace alone.
@@lionoffirerawthis ignores so many other Bible verses which emphasise works. What question will Christ ask us at the final judgement ? He will ask what we did for the least of our brethren and the consequences of our answer are immense. No mention of ‘faith ALONE’ in accurate and faithful translations, just faith. You have to play around with the translation to support your view. And you ignore the Epistle of James of course. All part of the shattering of Christendom that is Luther’s patrimony. 40,000 Protestant sects. Everyone thinks his understanding of scripture is THE right one. That’s not how the Holy Spirit works.
I wouldn't wish Hell upon my worst enemy. I saw something on Facebook that read Holy Water used for car wash it'll wash the Hell out of you which made me laugh I loved it. Hell is terrifying.
I do not believe a just God would punish good people who were born to different countries,cultures,religion as good is good and should most of the world perish to darkness because they were not afforded the opportunity to be in Christian faith,I do not believe it possible.I have travelled the world and gone into different places of worship and feel I can pray wherever I am.
I bought a King James Version Bible for 5.00 when I was in my early 20s. I got saved reading that Bible. I can tell you: the Bible is sufficient for all things related to the gospel and revelation of God. Oh, and I left the Catholic Church not long thereafter.
@@Brandaniron You do not get"saved" by reading the Bible. The Bible is only one third of the Revelation of God. Outside the Church there is no salvation.
@@aussierob7177Absolutely right. Your sins are not forgiven by reading the Bible. You must confess, receive absolution, and have a firm desire not to sin again. Then you must unite yourself with Christ as he offered himself as a sacrifice for our sins to the father. In him we are acceptable to the father. We do that by eating his body and drinking his blood. The father then sees his son in us and through his merits we may enter into his favour.
@@lionoffireraw In keeping with the Lord's command, the Gospel was handed on in two ways.....Orally, by the apostles who handed on, by the spoken word of their preaching, by the example they gave, by the institutions they established, what they themselves had received - whether from the lips of Christ, from his way of life and his works, or whether they had learned it at the prompting of the Holy Spirit. In writing by those apostles and other men associated with the apostles who, under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit, committed the message of salvation to writing. As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.
“Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to The Father except through Him.” John 14 verse 6 ““Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”” Acts 4:12 NIV
I am still trying to figure out why people think that jesus dying on a cross means that he died for other peoples sins... i mean, he didnt really die, and "sinning" never stopped, so i dont get it.... it makes even less sense to me when i remember that christians believe that god knows everything and knows what will happen in the future.... so can someone try to explain it to me? how does jesus dyiong and then coming back from the dead, mean that he died for peoples sins? and what was the result of that anyway? he died, came back, and people still sin, right? if he didnt die on the cross, people will still sin. he died, people still sin. nothing stopped. sin didnt cease... so whats up with all that???
thank you for asking this hard question. He didn't do all of that to make people stop sinning; He did it so that, as long as we believe in Him and follow Him, we would be able to escape the punishment for sin. The catch is that once you belong to Him, you gradually become a person that's no longer very interested in sinning and doing whatever the hell you please, and gradually, you begin to align yourself with God and gradually become part of the solution for the evil in the world. I hope that helps
Jesus came as a human to be a perfect blood sacrifice (sinless, spotless, perfect, like the perfect sacrificial lamb required under the old covenant). The blood of Christ is sufficient to cover our sins, IF we receive Him and are born of His Spirit. I used to say exactly what you did before I just asked Jesus if He was real because I didn't believe. Whoa! He absolutely is. He opened my blind spiritual eyes immediately and I was changed overnight. I knew then exactly how much of a sinner I was and that He paid the price for me in His blood (God's wrath). Just ask the Lord Jesus Christ if He's real! If you want the Truth about this world and about God, He will show you and you'll be changed and in love with Him forever. Peace, love and a sound mind come with knowing Him and living for Him! He is alive and is God in flesh. I hope you truly do have an open mind as you stated, because it is the most important decision you'll ever make, an eternal one.❤️✝️🛐
@@jeansroses7249 still doesnt make sense to me... people wouldbnt be able to escape punishment for sin without jesus dying on a cross??? why? can you explain WHY people wouldnt be able to do that without jesus dying on a cross?? why should someone be able to escape punishment for something anyway? Also, arent there a lot of christians who continue to "sin" anyway? what is sin anyway? are all sins immoral? are some sins specific to one religion? what about people of other religions? they cant escape their sins unless they become christians? i dont get any of this... i want to, but how can i? why would i even want to escape punishment for my "sins" ? shouldnt i want to accept the consequences for my actions and woprk on improving myself, instead of just believing that a god will let me escape punishment just for believing? i think i am already part of a solution for evil in the world. im not an evil person. i consider myself a moral and decent person. id bet that you and i share a very similar moral compass, even though we dont believe the same things about gods or religions im still not understanding why jesus dying on a cross and then coming back, means that people can escape punishment for sins if they follow jesus... i mean, follow which jesus? which versino of the bible? follow which denominations principles?? ... they dont all agree...there isnt just one christianity. there are tons of diff branches and they often disagree. there isnt even one version of the bible. there are many, and they arent identical. i dont see any way to figure out which one to accept, or even which religion to accept. youre saying VERY similar things to other people of different religions that dont agree with your religion... also, i already do whatever the hell i please. same as you. but i think you and i arent immoral people, so when we do whatever we please that doesnt mean we do bad things. perhaps we both already wouldnt "sin". lastly, what is "sin" ? do you agree that all the sins of your religion are actually immoral? who determines what is or is not moral? you? do you decide for yourself, or do you have to have someone else or someone elses claims about what a god wants determine how you behave? do you think that everyone who isnt christian just runs around being immoral and evil and willfully sinful and "whatever the hell they want" ? not close minded...but i am a skeptical and scrutinizing kind of guy..thats how i arrive at conclusonis that i can defend and stand behind...on this topic though, im still without a conclusion
@@TSeeker1 how am i supposed to ask a question to someone i dont believe even exists in the first place??? have YOU ever asked allah or brahma or any other gods of other religions if they exist or not? if you havent, im guessing its for the same reason that i can not ask jesus questions i can not say that jesus does not exist. maybe he does. maybe christianity is correct. but maybe some other god of some other religion is true and jesus and christianity is not... are you open minded enough to admit that you might be wrong about jesus and your religion?
@@UnderWaterExploring I was a new age occultist for over 25 years. I taught and professionally practiced everything you can think of and believed fully in every god. Except Jesus Christ. I couldn't stand to hear His name. I hated Christians. Until... My home became infested with demons. I'm talking about the most vile things that Hollywood depicts and things being hurled by a force you can't always physically see. Those things are real, ask any occultist, physics gets defied daily. When they turn on you, they aren't beautiful anymore and a terror there are no words for comes with. I saw a video on my feed when this was happening and it was a testimony of someone involved in exactly the same thing describing his infestation. And that he called on Jesus and everything changed. At that point, I had been dealing with this for over 10 years, and had gone from "having it all" to losing everything, friends, family, health, career. Stripped. I called on Jesus, like I told you.... The most amazing love and peace washed over me and He changed everything, my whole worldview overnight. He gave me a hunger for His word and I finally could understand it. He has restored me and broke all addictions and proclivities that were keeping me hostage to darkness, and given me eternal life. I didn't even realize I was dead (spiritually). He's amazing, faithful and the best friend you'll ever have. His word (Bible) is absolutely true. Just step outside of your worldview and ask Him. What have you got to lose? Eternity is a long time to be wrong. I'm telling you this because I love you and want the same joy for you, and it is only in Jesus Christ, the rest are counterfeit demons parading as light, promising you everything and costing you your soul. Please, ask Him to save your soul.🛐✝️
Jesus never said that he is god , i' fact he said that he has a god , and that prouves thqt he is not god cause by defenition a god does not have a god
The Bible clearly demonstrates that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. It also demonstrates that they are separate Persons. It also demonstrates there is ONE God (one Being). The Trinity is an inescapable fact of the Bible. This is a great video on the Trinity ⬇️ ua-cam.com/video/XOLXTB4ieJ8/v-deo.htmlsi=EL_aT9B9ARiF0sP4
@@lionoffireraw I know the defence I believed it for 28 years until my eyes were opened , also I don't believe in anhilation as an end either, I believe in what the majority of the early Church believed in. I gave a long response as well as some excellent biblical teachings, but okay, you can keep to a doctrine that is so utterly indefensible in terms of its injustice by quoting mistranslated scriptures, that's your perogative. Your hell filter is a real thing, and takes God to be a psychopathic sadist. I don't think He is, He is a Holy and Just Judge who also happens to be the perfect, loving Father, who desires mercy over judgment and that all would be saved. Billions upon billions of people have died in this world over millenia never hearing about Jesus, thus never having the opportunity to reject Him, let alone choose Him! That is why Ultimate Reconciliation, only through Christ is the most apposite doctrine. Love.
How do these anacdotal stories, even if true, prove any god is beyond me. Trying to tell that theist do not have chilling deathbed experiences is just dishonest. It simply is not true.
True, you are right about that. People who put their faith in any other than the Lord Jesus Christ can and do have terror at the point of death because only Jesus Christ is God! He Is The only One that died in our place so that we could inherit eternal life. *I Am THE way, THE truth and THE Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me.* John 14:6 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
"... and these accounts come from seven different people and were given to me..." So, you present us with second-hand accounts (at best, could also be third-hand accounts or more removed, who knows) and the source is Trust Me Bro! Yeah, sure. According to Matthew 7:13-14, the overwhelming majority of people should be non-Christians and therefore going to hell. So one would assume that these horror stories would be commonplace, in fact they should happen in nearly all cases someone dies. Yet, this is not so. To be perfectly frank, I seriously doubt that these stories are even true. They sound like the stories circling in Christian circles that are pretty much never properly sourced, even when they appear in Christian books. If they were indeed true, one would have to wonder what is going on. Why are these cases so exceedingly rare when Christianity teaches the opposite? Of course, none of these stories as you told them even make a link to Christianity. This needs to be made by means of interpretation by the listener. But I understand that this kind of story is very effective for Christian listeners who will be reassured in their belief in a religion that fails to present proper evidence for its claims.
@@lionoffireraw I am aware that you said that. I listened to the entire video, indeed. But conceding that all you present is anecdotal evidence (how far removed is still unclear) does not elevate those anecdotes above criticism. What I do here is voice my opinion, just as others who agree with you have voiced theirs. Obviously, anybody can make of _my_ humble remarks what they will as well. I don't expect to receive a lot of approval in the comment section of your video.
Absolute fear mongering. Thank goodness I am a non believer. the rubbish on this channel gets worse and worse.

The truth is that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning. Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead. When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed. All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃 See the channel: “Testify”, for evidence. ✅ Historical reliability of the gospels ⬇️ ua-cam.com/play/PLbVf0T8-zFVhvQKOcYzK_57dYUr20lHWB.html&si=xmw74vVtGFwxTI61 ✅ Evidence for the resurrection of Jesus ⬇️ ua-cam.com/play/PLbVf0T8-zFVhNhIx3lLZCDRhrdsD7vRS1.html&si=9XV8uKOKcVRMRXWs If you can believe this, there are actually people today (and I mean full grown adults!!), who believe that our ancestors are fish and bacteria!! 🤦🏼♂️
Jesus does, because he fulfilled prophecy and historically rose from the dead. So I’ll trust him over you (or anyone else, who says that we can’t know).
Let me tell you about death. Falling asleep in front of the tv without the waking up. That’s death for you in all its magnificent glory. Near death experiences are not: right after death experiences. They are part of the life side. And it’s a part of life to turn our deepest wishes into beliefs. But there is a silver lining around the harsh reality. As humans we are only capable to experience life since there’s no awareness about death whatsoever; no, not even for a short time to observe who will grieve over you. So in a way we all live eternally. The concept of death belongs to our relatives.
In response to the last video you posted, as a strong fellow believer of the faith I wanted to say that I believe I already warned you at a point many months ago about how that if you were ever again to stick your finger in our American federal politics then I would unsubscribe from you. Well that is what just happened.
If someone is going to unsubscribe because they disagree on something like this, then they can’t be too interested in watching this channel. I really don’t like the tone of your message. Firstly, I don’t make topic choices based on whether someone “warns me that they will unsubscribe from me.” Secondly, I can speak on any global topic that I choose. I don’t have to reside in that particular country. This is exactly why I turned off comments on that video. Because there will be a few people who just want to stir up trouble. Honestly, if you want to watch the videos, watch them. If you don’t want to watch the videos, then don’t. I’m not really interested in people making a song and dance about it.
According to your Hell filter: God who is all knowing, all powerful, knowingly created billions of human beings who He knows will burn in agony, conscious for ever. I had 28 years of trying to fit that Orwellian doublethink into my faith. This God who I encountered 33 years ago, who with each passing year reveals His love, grace and Mercy, is exactly like Jesus, who said if you'd seen Him you'd seen the Father. I have been studying the hell scriptures for the last 5 years , and also the early Church Fathers, such as those who wrote our Creed, the Nicene Creed. Most of them believed that Hell was God's Consuming fire of love that burnt up all sin. They believed in Ultimate Reconciliation through Christ, our Saviour, our Sanctification and our resurrection. The mistranslation when it comes to hell is based on mistranslation from the Greek, or trying to fit the Hell doctrine around the translation. When the hell filter is removed, that is Eternal Conscious Torment, God's righteous judgments can be clearly seen as Just, loving, righteous and Holy. When you are able to think clearly and trust your own heart that God has transformed, you begin to understand the terrible Blasphemy of believing that God would consign a human being, a finite person, to an infinite mental and physical agony. He made us in His image, He leaves the 99 UNTIL, the lost one is found. You are called lost because you will be found. Our glorious Father takes responsibility for everyone He created. The devil's doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, which only really become the one acceptable version in the 6th Century, whereas before that it was one of 3 doctrines that were preached. The most popular being Ultimate Reconciliation: 1 Corinthians 15:28. Look at the original Greek usage of Punishment: Kolasis which is a horticultural word meaning pruning! Look at the Greek word for Eternity, Aionius, look how it's used throughout the New Testament, of an Age, or Ages, a specific time, not just Forever. Like at the Word translated for Destruction, it's the same word used for the 'Lost' coin, the 'Lost' sheep' and the Prodigal Son. The Word is my only plumb-line, Jesus is my Saviour and Lord, and the Saviour of the World 1 John 2:2. Your Hell doctrine is the most popular, but understand its historical Heritage, late Augustine and the Emperor Justinian, a Roman Power play used for control. Augustine admitted his Greek was poor, and used the Latin Vulgate for His doctrines, where the Greek Fathers actually clearly understood the Greek of the New Testament and the Old Testament Greek Translation that was used by Jesus, the Septuagint. When the Gospel spread so widely, which Gospel did you imagine was being preached, a Universal Gospel of Christ that in Him includes the whole of creation, or the fear based, believe in me or fry in your own fat? Sorry, but I always had problems with the dissonance of such a psychopathic doctrine. Thank God the Holy Spirit led me to some great Christian, Christ centred writers. Finally, I know about time!! LOLOL!! The Word that was translated as Hell that Jesus used, Gehenna, please do a deep dive, it has history, and was a physical place south of Jerusalem, a place of misery and destruction, not some abstract eternal destination!!
All lies or demonic activity. You don't "go" anywhere when you die. The dead in Christ are waiting for His return just like we are waiting. Stop this false teaching invented by Catholicism.
Thats God. Leading people to sin evilness and atheism through ignoring their heart and leaving them in the world HE created. Them sending them to hell.

My husband worked at a nursing home of sorts, and he ignored the staff who told him to not preach the gospel. Especially with those who were in their last days. He would stay up with them reading scripture in hopes that they might come to salvation.
That is wonderful.
Same with my mom. She saw people going both ways and was not going to not give them a choice. She said some went out saying it’s Beautiful, others were scared of what they saw, not everyone goes to Heaven. This is why we have to preach Jesus is Lord and savior, because we can not be good enough to save ourselves. See John 3. Also even if a person is in a coma, your eternal spirit is different from your emotional mind or physical body. You can still reach the Spirit.
Amazing,that’s awesome

I had a near death experience 14 years ago. I saw hell, Saw heaven, met Jesus. Came back and am now a Chaplain in a jail preaching the gospel.
If hell and Satan is real, why would he ignore my offer that he can have my soul if he helps me after God lied and tortured me and my trustful heart like so many others over years?
Satan would never ignore those that come from God to him
@stonecamis1718 I surrender to God multiple times, seeked Jesus more that you can imagine- with all my heart; and always „righteous and honest“ heart and prayers. I know what I experienced. But Christians always focus on one side. The people that are suffering from Gods ignorance are real as all the positive testimonies. Read your bible. How many did he ki•l ? Forgiveness? Where is a good God if the frauds win and honest belivers taking their li*es because of a broken heart? Those people could have had such a positive impact in this world with at least a little blessing. We are limited by what our hearts can take. And the „all knowing“ creator ignores that. He should know that everyone with an answer of prayer would praise him joyfully and tell others about God. That would make this world better. But God prefers the pain. Thats his ego. Forcing people to live, see their loyalty and doing nothing. I was loyal long enough. God gives 0 comfort to the “heavy loaden”
And Satan ? He never wanted to buy my soul as well. A lot of things are wrong here, if even the devil ignores you
@stonecamis1718 he is not. Thank you youtube for deleting my long answer comment

I was a nurse for quite a while. If I could find time alone with people, I prayed with them.
My grandma was always a nice lady but not a Christian. Two weeks before she died (she was perfectly healthy at this point in time) a local pastor knocked on her door and asked her if he could visit her for a bit. She kindly accepted him. The pastor told her that God told him to visit her and that’s why he was there. The conversation led to my grandma getting saved! Two weeks later I got a call saying that Grandma was in the hospital and she was not expected to live. I never got to say goodbye but this miracle happened. At 2am I went to the bathroom. I looked up and a white glowing spirit was hovering over me. It had no arms or legs. Just a head and body. It only lasted a few seconds. I kept batting my eyes thinking am I really seeing what I’m seeing. Then it was gone. A few hours later my dad called me and said that my grandma passed. I told him I know I saw her at 2am. My dad said whatever. (He didn’t believe me). Praise the Lord God Almighty for saving my dear grandma. I love Jesus ❤
This is quite common. And quite wonderful. My father saw his sister during the night at the time she passed. She would certainly be with the Lord.
@@meredithgreenslade1965 ty for sharing ❤️
I’m glad you’re talking about this, we don’t hear any talk about hell anymore it seems.
A similar story happened in front of someone i knew in Egypt. He was on the bedside of a young man who refused to repent claiming that he will repent when he gets older. The young man's mother was beside him when he died, and he suddenly told her that there are black people riding on black horses coming to get me and he was pointing to them and raising his arm gradually and begging his mother to save him from them, then he immediately died, and his arm fell, then all the people around him started crying.
I'll add another story. My mother once told me this story. Her grandfather or my great grandfather was a devout Buddhist. Shortly before he died, he suddenly started saying there's smoke and fire all around me! What's happening? Why is there so much smoke and fire everywhere?! He was petrified. Even though all his family members with him at the time including my mother as a young woman told him there's no smoke and fire and it's a perfectly bright and sunny day with clear skies. He died some days later. The family members who are Buddhist believe he saw a vision of himself at his own funeral where Buddhist monks light incense candles and the like. But as a Christian I think he saw a vision of hell. 😢
Thank you for adding my experiences as a nurse to your video. It would be wonderful to give us a chance to tell our stories about what we witnessed when Christians were dying. They are so encouraging.
I’d Love to hear them!
Praise God for Christian care givers who tell others about Christ and get them saved!!
I've talked with both a funeral home director and a hospice nurse, and both agreed that not everyone is in a better place. (Both were not considered Christian believers).
how would they know?
@@UnderWaterExploringMoment of passing. I worked hospice for a year... You see and hear some stuff 😶
Had one guy who couldn't stay off his call light. All the rooms were private, with a nice window and little patio, so the patients and families are able to have the best possible final moments. I worked nights, and this guy (who was not confused at all) was talking about things trying to open the door and the window, things on the ceiling and in the corner. Had another guy seeing a ghost, and it was of the previous girl who died in that room. Said things that only we knew about. Really creepy stuff!
Alternately, I had a lady who was in constant pain, no matter what we did or didn't do or give her. I was there for her passing. *After* she died, she had a smile on her face. Not during or before, but after. She never was able to smile the whole time she was there due to pain. Trust me.... We see & hear things you wouldn't believe.
This is so right. I have heard many accounts. I wasn't sure about my mum. I know she had a horrific dream before she died. She wouldn't say what it was, because she was not one to share much of herself. However, when she died, I had a dream and saw her in heaven looking radiant. I'm sure the Lord was sending me a message that she was with him.
These shared accounts should be a wake up call.
YES Jesus saves !!! I Was deemed as an Alcholic my parents kept telling me give your life to Jesus..I never listened until it got real bad...then I gave my life to Christ...I have been sober for 27 years AMEN 🙏
Please mention my mother Joanna in your prayers, she is an alcoholic, was in hospital for a few weeks because of a lung and sepsis, was alcohol free there but on morfine etc., she's third day home under care, and today when everyone was sleeping, she rushed to store and is now drunk... 😢 Without work of the Holy Spirit all is for naught... Salvation is of the Lord but our God is the only God who answers prayers. Please pray also that God gives me wisdom in sharing the gospel I stutter and don't communicate well. Thank you. God bless.

I wish every soul on earth got a 2nd chance 💔🙏
I listened to the testimony of a hospice nurse(maybe we are talking about the same person Yvonne)
who, after over 30 years of working there, was able to recognize which of the dying patients was reconciled with God and people, and which ones experienced agony knowing that they were dying (they experienced torture even before death).
I wish people to be curious and interested in this topic that, regardless of our faith and preparation, will meet us one day...
May we be prepared🙏⌛️
John 14:6
and how do you know that she was able to recognize such things? are you just taking her word for it? I dont understand...why would anyone just assume someone claiming such things is right, especially basing it on one particular religion and ignoring all others...im sure other people of other religions claim the same kinds of things about their god... why should anyone take your word, or this womans, over someone elses word about a different god? im open minded, but it makes no sense to me at this time... this hospice nurse is making just another claim base3d on superstition that tons of other people of totally different religions also make, all with equal amounts of (or lack thereof) evidence or reasons to believe

By saying what you say, you only boast about your ignorance and arrogance on topics you have no idea about.
Man's nature is rebellious and proud...
Humanism has replaced the ability to hear the voice of the Living God.
The privilege that God gave us to make choices has become for many people a cliff from which they fall into a spiritual abyss, exposing themselves to eternal damnation.
Regardless of what you decide to believe, it is worth being true to yourself by answering basic questions about life here on earth and life after death.
Listen to the stories of people who survived clinical death.
For me, the best stories are those of atheists (former ones) and children without their ideological influences.

@sandraratliff2572 I'd recommend being part of a good local church so you can go out with other people in the congregation. We usually buy gospel tracts from Koorong and offer to hand them out to people. Sometimes, people are willing to talk and have questions. But also remember getting rejected is part of taking up our cross. It does help when you're with other believers so you can encourage each other after tough encounters.
@@sandraratliff2572 Best 4-mat I used N the past was "Share JESUS without Fear". It uses 5 basic scriptures that you have them read out loud. Then you ket the Holy Spirit work. Sometimes all you do is plant a seed...
@@sandraratliff2572 Just something fairly recently that I've noticed is when someone starts talking about issues, difficulties, illness etc, then asking something like this helps... "has anyone ever prayed with you about that?" Then explain that you are a Christian and often come to him in prayer, and also explain what it means to turn from sin, and trust in Jesus.
I hope that helps, I'd love to hear how you get on!
Great video brother in Christ Jesus.I pray people come to know the Lord.
Thank you Matt. I only last week have organised pastoral care to visit with my dear dad in a nursing home who was placed in there against his will. He sadly was diagnosed with dementia in 2019.. and has been isolated by my sister, who took him hours away from his original home and from other family members. I don't ask for prayers much at all, but may I please ask of you all to pray for my dad John, who is 86 years old, that he receives Jesus and that the Holy Spirit pierce my dads heart, and trumps this horrible disease that takes away memory, so he may SEE and KNOW Jesus before he is taken. I have prayed Jesus appears to my dad in a dream or something. I am sadly not close at all to visit often. He still walks and talks, but memory not good and I am sure meds they have him on don't help at all. I am so scared he won't understand who Jesus is.. it breaks me... I thank you so much for your prayers in advance. Be blessed all, in Jesus/Yeshua's name.
I preached to my grandmother who had dementia. All we can do is present the gospel, and pray. God bless you. Prayers 🙏
@@lionoffireraw Oh Matt, I really understand and can picture you doing so. I have also prayed and even think that our Father will be kind and merciful to all who have lost memory and cognitive abilities. Our Father would ALREADY know the disadvantage they have over others who are sound in mind. I believe our intercessory prayers for them WILL be heard and acknowledged from above. He knows THEY have NO choice but to succumb to this cruel condition. I have bawled my eyes out over this. Thanks for the prayers Matt, my dad's name is John. What is your grand mothers name? I too pray for all who are especially unable to understand due to medical reasons. Be blessed dear one. 🙏🙏🙏
I have worked hospice, it is very obvious near the end who is saved and who is not. Very unsettling and even scary. I got kicked out of a home once due to this, a woman in my care was in tears and asking me to “stop the monsters” all I knew to do was pray for her and with her, her atheist family saw me proclaiming Gods love and begging his help and forgiveness for her and told me to leave. I could hear her begging them to save her from the monsters as I left, she died the next day, fifteen years later this still bothers me.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Great presentation of the good news in contrast to stark reality of death without Jesus. All those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ❤
NO WARNING IS TOO STRONG TURN TO JESUS FOLKS
I have too witnessed this when I was doing Home health care. Find God
A similar scenario was well portrayed, I thought, in the movie "Ghost". The empathetic and merciful side of me feels horrible for these lost souls. But the side of me that loves justice says it was their free choice, they are only getting what they chose. Brings to mind the saying: There, but for the grace of God, go I. I was an ardent atheist in my youth, but was given a deep love of the truth, such that when I finally decided to give "that Bible" a chance, I immediately recognized and realized I had found THE truth in Jesus Christ and the gospel plan. I was such a strong candidate for atheism and unbelief, yet out of His love, the Lord made sure I got the call. This is the second video of LFR I have seen. One of the most genuine and credible YT channels of this type. And the charming Aussie accent doesn't hurt. Thanks. (Pls forgive if you are a NZ).

Good video / message brother 👍. Eternity is forever .....
About 18 years ago I read a book about a man who became a country doctor. Because of it being a poor region, not many people had the medical comfort of dying in hospital, so he was beside many a bedside of both believers and unbelievers. Don’t remember the books name, nor do I have it any longer. I was compelled to give it to my then doctor. We would always disagree on testing she wanted done and I’d have none of it. She knew I was a believer as we spoke about it many times. She loves to read and was happy for a new book, but not so much when I explained what it was about. I asked her to please read it if only to disprove what I’d been telling her. Unfortunately, we parted company a few months later and I never knew how her life went after that.
You did what you could and planted the seed. ❤
Excellent video brother, keep keeping it real…because it is very much very real!
I never felt safe before Jesus made Himself known to me.

I'm now taking care of a man who is a strong narcissist. He causes divisions everywhere and within his family. All his life he was a church man and promoting his writings which are horrible! He's on hospice now and he is afraid to die! He says God has work for him to do passing out these writings. His cognitive function is poor, his memory is going but his obsession with himself and his writings is crazy. I've done caregiving for over 20 years and had a dozen on hospice. One woke up in the middle of the night screaming the house was on fire!. I knew what he really had a glimpse of. I'm afraid my current client will also experience some type of heat. I have tried talking to him but he's really a narcissist to the core. Time will tell.
Do what you CAN do, while you can. These narcs need ALL the help they can get. Please don't let HIS pride come between you and introducing and showing him the REAL Jesus that is meant to live in you IF you are a believer and serious follower too?!! Maybe you can ask him to write who Jesus is and says and what it means to accept Him as his saviour and get him to somehow accept Jesus via writing somehow?? Time is SHORT for us all and take advantage of your clients communication skills that he has left... Be blessed!
My mother is a narc at 79 still unrepentant. I pray for her constantly. I think the narc made a contract with the devil as a child.

Thank you, Matthew! I pray the unsaved view this episode.
I have a few friends that are agnostic/ atheists. I hope i can lead them to Christ before the end.
This is why we must always keep praying for our lost friends and family members. Even seemingly lost causes. God hears us. And he is capable of anything. In Jesus’s name!
why? are your friends bad people? do they lack something you possess just because you believe in what they do not? i dont understand.... why do you feel like your friends need to be christians? are they less than you in some way? are you somehow more enlightened or a better person than they are? why do you feel like your friends need to believe in the same god you do? why is it important to you? what if you are wrong? are you an open minded person? is it possible you are wrong about your god and religion?
if you cant admit that you might be wrong, id ask you if your friends would take that kind of stance against you about something? like would they say "i hope i can lead her away from christ before i die" ?
if they would, why do you think they would or do say that?
im trying to figure out why christians seem to think that non christians are fundamentally lacking or less than others in some way just because they arent chrstian, and why christians think good of themselves when they try to recruit others into their religion
is that what friends do? i dont have christian friends that hope to make me a christian, and i dont want to make my christian friends atheists. we can discuss the topics without trying to "win" them or change peoples beliefs one way or the other, and we sure dont put ourselves on pedestals and say things like we hope our friends go to one belief or the other..
do your friends WANT to be led to christ? if they dont, why would you want to lead them? why would you even try?
@@UnderWaterExploring no, we are not better than agnostic or atheist friends and relatives. We are all sinners. However, as Christians, we feel absolutely blessed by God’s grace. It is breathtaking, yet a little scary at the same time, when Jesus very clearly says He is the Only Way to Heaven. Other religions sound nice, but none can deal with sin. We have all sinned. God’s standard of sin is too high. Even small thefts and lying count as sin. However, God’s Grace is abundant. And that is done by repenting, turning from sin, and asking Jesus for forgiveness.
God bless you! And may the Lord soften your heart!
@@UnderWaterExploringwe believe there is life after death only for those who are in Christ, the way, the truth and the LIFE. That is why it is important. He it was who paid the price. Not Buddha or Muhammad, who both tempt people away from Christ and into lies and error and do the work of the father of lies.
@@UnderWaterExploring you are looking at it wrong. We don't think we are better than anyone else, in fact we are more aware of what sinners we really are. We only strive to enlighten our friends and others because now that we are enlightened , we do not want anyone to go to hell. If we tell you the good news and you choose not to accept it or believe it, that's up to you but what kind of friend or human being would we be if we didn't at least inform you. You might never hear the good news if we didn't tell you. We don't want to take the chance that you might miss the opportunity to hear it and believe it and get the chance to be with God forever. That's being a caring, loving friend. And that's the gist of the whole thing. Not being superior or anything. Just being loving. And look at it this way - if we are wrong, you will have lost nothing - but if we are right and you didn't listen - you will have lost EVERYTHING. Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Just think about it - for the sake of your soul.

Thank you for this video.
Ive always believed in God but wasnt particularly religious until i became born again earlier this year.
My grandad passed away 3 years ago now. While no-one was with him when he passed, i visited him in hospital the day before his death for a few hours.
My mum and nan stayed longer and said even that night he was saying "help me, help me" and seemed very distressed.
He was a kind and loving man but unfortunately he wasnt religious and im pretty sure he was an atheist. As i wasnt interested in religion then i never spoke to him on such matters. I only hope and pray he saw the light before it was too late, as he definitely saw something bad in the hours before he passed.
“What a heartbreak it would be to live an “almost” Christian life, then “almost” get into heaven.”
Luke 13:24-28.
Brother Matt, I had an Uncle whom I loved very much, he was addicted to alcohol, pornography and younger girls from the top less establishments. He would buy them things and pay for sex. He had a wonderful wife who just couldn't put up with his sin and I don't blame her. I tried to talk to him about The Lord and sin with no luck. He told me that he wasn't scared of dying, a little while later he was diagnosed with a cirrhosis of the liver from drinking. I remember him crying to my grandmother that he didn't want to die. He passed 3 days later in her home. I had to clean his little shack of a home up afterwards. I filled the bed of my Ford F-250 truck halfway up with tapes, magazines, printed pictures and personal pictures of pure nastiness. I burned anything that would burn and drove over all of the video tapes. I often think of where he is now and pray that he asked for forgiveness. It amazed me of how deep in sin he was. He always told me to get to his place before my grandmother did if anything happened to him, and I did thankfully. Love from North Central Florida. Keep up the good work.
Good video brother; thanks.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace;
according to thy word;
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles,
and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
When I was a child growing up in the Methodist Church, they always used to sing that doxology after every service.
It "sounds Christian," but far from it.
Those words are the antithesis of the truth of the Bible.
"As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be"
The perfection of the Garden of Eden does NOT exist now.
What exists now will NOT be forever.
"World without end, amen."
This world will assuredly come to an end, to be replaced by a perfect new world untarnished by sin and rebellion.
I discovered that this deceptive song is sung in Freemasonic Lodges, and from there, was introduced into the churches.
@@rubygray7749 Thank you for the warning Ruby, I will look into it; the source is 1662 Book of Common Prayer so I will look back into the notes on the text. Thanks again.
The reality is that most of us dont experience the spiritual and therefore dont acknowledge the this world is temporary and that we cannot see is eternal.
The truth is that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning.
Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead.
When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed.
All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃
See the channel: “Testify”, for evidence.

Romans 1:18-21 According to scripture, God reveals His existence and evidence to mankind by His sustained creation. Mankind experiences it every day but naturally rejects and resists God, so is without excuse. Mankind has a conscience given by God being moral agents made in His likeness but we will not go to God that we might have life. Only by mercy, grace by the Holy Spirit does anyone make it Jesus Christ the Savior. AMEN!!!

Hi Matt
Yes i witnessed this as you now Terrifying, very sad for a christian to witness this especially from a non believer family member.
Great video for non believers.
wake up before it’s too late. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
when is it too late, if you can be saved as long as you come to jesus right before you die? why is that even necessary? shouldnt it be about how a person lived their natura life and how they treated their fellow humans and all other life?
If we were to be judged by that, every single, one of us would be guilty. God’s standard is moral perfection in thought, word, and deed. We cannot save ourselves, but Jesus Christ died on the cross to save us. Those who repent, and put their trust in him, will receive forgiveness of sins, and eternal life.
“In the end, there will be no atheists or unbelievers” AMEN!
I'm glad I'm saved and know were I'm going. I LOVE MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND I'M SO THANKFUL JESUS DIED FOR ME. Maybe my last 3 words might be. It is finished. GOD BLESS YOU.
Come Lord Jesus, come ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd be interested in hearing a comparison between deathbed experiences of Christians vs deathbed experiences of people in other religions. I'm obviously a dedicated Christian now, but I just would like to know what for example a "new ager" experiences. What does a hardcore occultist/witch experience? What does a buddhist experience? What does a Muslim experience? What does an Orthodox Jew experience? Hindu? Sikh? etc...
My step-grandmother on my dad's side was new age... ya know, she would always leave by saying "love and light", and she always seemed so gentle and caring... and while I didn't see her at her death, I saw her shortly before, and she became kind of mean and was demanding everyone to bring her all of this junkfood that she would've never eaten before. It was kind of disturbing. We found out after she died that she basically betrayed my grandpa, sold all the vintage guns he had collected which were supposed to go to our famil;y, and gave grandpa's house and all of his wealth (which apparently was still quite a bit even though he died way back in 1992) over to her family... cut us completely out.
The things you find out when someone passes away...
(To be fair, she had some kind of brain tumor and I don't think she was herself anymore, and her son was kind of a sheister, so he may have manipulated her into that... but maybe not.)
Ive read maney hospice storys this is why the beggining of wisdom is to fear God
is there a way to reach out to you? I have 3 accounts I want to share with you
Some won't experience death.
I had two experiences with dying individuals. One mom mother who had a faith her whole life, got cancer and was not able to pray any more, she didn’t understand the character of God. However, when I said goodbye to her and gave her a hug she said to me I hope to see you again. To me she had he4 faith again. She wasn’t taught scripture and never knew how to study her Bible. Her sister got cancer and we talked about spiritual things. She was curious and needed comfort. She told me about a dream she recently had where her and her husband that ha$ died in a plane crash over fourty years prior were running and playing in a field like brother and sister not husband and wife. That indicated to m3 that God was with her. The nurses at her death bed said she was a gracious woman. I wish I could have the time back because I would share the Bible on the state of the dead. Almost all Christian’s don’t understand that when we die we sleep and wait for the resurrection. We do not go to heaven or hell. That doesn’t happen until the judgement. These experiences teach me so that I can help someone who is dying. Too often we have horrible death bed experiences because of wrong theology. My husband and I also had separate dreams of our best man from our wedding on the night of his death. That was very interesting.
No, you are mistaken.
When Christians die, they enter an intermediate state, "alive in the spirit," but before the resurrection of their bodies.
"To be with Christ, which is far better."
"And so shall we ever be with the Lord."
Prior to Jesus' resurrection, both the saints and unbelievers went down into Hades, the holding place of departed souls.
The righteous went to "Abraham's bosom" to be comforted, while the wicked went to a place in view of the coming horrors of hell into which they will eventually be cast.
When Jesus died, "being put to death in the flesh but being made alive in the spirit," he descended into Hades and preached to the souls there.
When he rose into heaven, he took the righteous souls into heaven with him.
"When he ascended on high, he took captivity captive".
It is the Christian's body which has the appearance of "sleep".
The spirit is alive into God.
1Th 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath,
but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 who died for us
so that whether we are awake or asleep
we might live with him.
I was 📖 reading in the Bible, that some Christian believers are given the gift of miracles. What does it really mean, and is there any danger of such a gift unknowingly being used for witchcraft? For example are telekinesis, and manifestation really evil witchcraft, or can they be used by God in a Christian believer to serve others. Is it possible to have such abilities for the glory of God? When it says in the Bible “to believe you have received, and ye shall have it” is this the basis of the prosperity gospel? I know we’re commanded to have faith, but when and where does faith become witchcraft? Please help me.
When you receive the Holy Spirit, God himself comes into you and no devil can enter you from this point. At this point you may receive the gifts of the Spirit. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are used for the benefit of God, Christ’s Kingdom and believers. Any wicked spirit, giving other gifts which are against these things is witchcraft.
If someone has something like telecommunication which was given by a demonic spirit, that will be removed when the person becomes a Christian. When the Holy Spirit enters a person all demonic spirits are removed, so witchcraft in that sense is no longer possible.
Basically, no. The gifts of the Spirit can not be used for witchcraft if the gifts are truly from God; because God removes all demons from you and gives his own Spirit to you.
The Holy Spirit gives these gifts for the glory of God. Keep reading about it, it’ll really bless you. God Bless you!
Good response 🙏
Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. It’s a big help to me!! Matt
@@lionoffireraw Thanks, God bless you!
Ok so I don't usually respond to comments on UA-cam but this is something that God has shown me the last couple years and I feel so passionate about helping others understand this. There are Christians practicing witchcraft unknowingly. Those are forms of witchcraft, yes. You don't have to have demonic spirits to practice witchcraft. Many Christians are practicing witchcraft unknowingly by practicing manifestation. Manifestation is declaring something will happen until it does, trying to manipulate things the way you want. Witchcraft is the manipulation of trying to get people to do what you want or get what you want. Other forms of witchcraft would be playing with crystals or relying on astrology to dictate your life. I don't know much about telekinesis but I never heard of this being a gift of the Spirit . Is that when you move stuff with your mind? I know of people who came out of witchcraft that said they thought they were moving stuff with their mind but it was demonic spirits moving things around. Please please stay away from telekinesis and command any spirits lingering in your home to leave in Jesus name. There are a lot of testimonies of people who have come out of witchcraft and they all say the same things basically. If it's not glorifying God then it's not a gift from God. Keep reading your Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you! Pray he gives you discernment, wisdom and clarity in regards to these things. He is so good and answers in amazing ways when we come to him with our questions
I'm going to respectfully disagree with the answer above. Scripture tells us to have NOTHING to do with witchcraft, and things such as telekinesis and manifesting (or tarot cards, astrology, yoga, or any other occult practice) needs to be repented of and renounced out loud. You may want to look up some deliverance videos (like from Derrick Prince, Isaiah, Saldivar, John Ramirez, etc) or teachings from Christians who were saved out of witchcraft. They understand the power and influence those things can have on people, and can be very encouraging as they teach total freedom in Christ. As for your question about what constitutes witchcraft, Derek Prince had an interesting definition that I will try to paraphrase (and will probably mangle): "witchcraft is anything where we are trying to manipulate things in the spiritual realm", which I think is a fair description of trying to "manifest wealth", for instance.
In short, please have nothing to do with supposed "gifts" like telekinesis or any other gift not mentioned or used by the disciples.
May God bless you in your walk with Christ. 🙂
Dying Testimonies Of Saved And Unsaved
Compiled By Solomon Benjamin Shaw
Wow I'm looking that up thankyou 💖👑🐑
Don't ever think that God has given up on you! If you have breath in your body call on Jesus Christ to forgive and save you. He loves us more than we know. But we must make that decision while on earth 🌎
I've actually put together a video to share with my family and friends on this very topic. It's having a big impact on them and I know it was all God, I didn't plan any of it. Just fell together
I am a Christian already. I've watched Near Death experience videos on UA-cam and they seem very similar to these accounts. I am not sure if a Christian should watch Near Death experiences but I did as I was curious. We can know this: there is a heaven and hell, God is real, Jesus is God's Son and died for our sins and rose again. It is hard for us humans to understand everything. ❤
Nobody can tell me that once you die, you are in the ground until judgment day.
Soul sleep is not biblical
Why did Jesus say to the thief beside him, you will be with me in paradise today?
Rich man and Lazarus Luke 16 also revelation 6..Puts soul sleep to rest…
my uncle served God all his life up til Lord took him home in 2009 when he was in hospital and was ready to die he said to his christian friends........see Jesus hes coming to get me they said he had the biggest smile on his face then Lord took him so ppls come to the Lord he loves us all doesnt want for anyone to go to hell Jesus cried for all of us and hearing these stories is a spiritual wake up call for everyone i hope ppl do realize as Jesus said i am the way the truth and the life amen an amen ☺❤🙏🧔♀💐
John 8:24
So, John 11:11
After he said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him.” Lazarus was dead 4 days before Christ raised him and Christ said in verse 14, Lazarus is dead. Where was Lazarus for 4 days? If he was in heaven it would be not so great for Lazarus to be brought back to earth. And all these "hell stories" none are consistent with each other. Told you really believe the Bible then the dead are dead til the resurrection, judgement. Even Paul of Tarsus speaks of those that are asleep, the dead in Christ, will rise at the resurrection. Right before one dies their brain goes into overdrive for a few seconds before they pass. People might see demons at that state. And you don't choose Christ, He chooses you. Many are called but few are CHOSEN
Matt, do you have to get baptized to be saved? I
Baptism doesn’t save, but I would question anyone’s faith in Jesus, if they wilfully choose to ignore his clear commitment to be baptised.
@@lionoffireraw An answer clearly contradicted by the history and teaching of they church from its very beginning until now. In baptism we are claimed by Christ and we receive his light of salvation. It is essential. Baptism of desire such as the good thief received is very, very rare, but possible. Baptism washes away the stain of original sin we inherited from our first parents.
I'm getting baptized this Sunday!!! Can't wait. . . . it's been something I've been meaning to do for a long time but just kept putting it off.
@@lionoffireraw Dear Matt, I am pretty new to the Lord. I choose to believe Jesus is real and died on the cross for us. I am learning as I go but sometimes I am very confused. I have heard that there are many Christians and this confuses me. Something I watched a few weeks ago said that there is and will be many Christians in Hell. I have always had a hard time with reading, in fact I hate to read. My sister loves to read. My point is when I do force myself to read the Bible. (and which one to try to read is also a question for me) most of it doesn't make sense to me. Many of the people seem to have more than one name etc. I wish it was just simple reading but for me it isn't. I don't know special prayers, I just talk to Jesus like he's my friend. I always tell Jesus that I'm stupid and don't understand what I'm reading. :( I've asked him to let me understand what I'm reading but so far he hasn't answered that prayer. I'm also confused about God vs Jesus. I've heard pray to Jesus not God or maybe the other way around. This is really bugging me. Most of all I just want to pray to the right Lord and learn more as I go. I am a child when it comes to all of what I read but I certainly have faith that God had to have created the sky, sea, fish, bugs, plants ( I am an avid gardener) mammals, trees and on and on. It JUST HAS TO BE SO.... Sorry to go on and on Matt. I am glad to have found your channel and wish I had others to talk to about all of this. PS: I wouldn't mind getting baptized but I wouldn't know where to go. HUGS
Chilling words of theist in a vehicle, is the seatbelt tight enough to save me
To me speaking in tongues is praying in the spirit. John chapter 3 says the spirit blows where it wills and you hear the sound thereof, so is everyone that is born of the spirit(bible Numerics
version).
Also obviously Jesus baptizes with the holy spirit. And the believer then speaks with new tongues. Mark 16:17.
The true gift of tongues exists (in another known human language), but the “tongues” that we see today in many churches is not biblical at all. I’ve demonstrated this definitively in the video below!
There is not a single instance in Scripture of “tongues” as a private prayer language. This form of tongues simply doesn’t exist, biblically, and is actually a 19th Century invention!

Well said @stuart. ❤
1 Corinthians 13:
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.."

What happened to those who never knew Jesus?
There are a number of different theological positions on this. I will plan to tackle this question at some point. Matt 🙏
Abraham didn’t know Jesus but he is justified by his faith in God. Which was counted as righteousness towards him.
And was only possible because of the forward-looking sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
We all know the Son of God.
Even before the birth of Jesus, wise men recognised him and testified of him.👇🏼
Daniel 3:24-25 "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; *and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God* "
Repent DOES NOT mean turning from sins! Acts 19:4 defines the message of repentance John preached which was to believe on him on christ jesus.
Acts 19:4-Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of REPENTANCE, saying unto the people, that they should BELIEVE ON HIM which should come after him, that is, ON CHRIST JESUS.
Notice, it says ''BELIEVE ON HIM ON CHRIST JESUS'', no mention of ''turning from sins to be saved'', that's works salvation.
Also, Exodus 32:14, Genesis 6:6, Amos 7:3-6 says ''God repented'' supporting ''repentance does not mean turning from sins''.
Exodus 32:14-And the LORD REPENTED of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Once you believe in Jesus Christ, The Son of God, Christ promises eternal life, you're saved forever, Once Saved Always Saved! Salvation can NEVER be lost! Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day!
@NoNonsenseGamer0_0
Amen!!!
You have been taught correctly!
We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone. When a person exercises true saving faith, they are born again. When a person is born again, this produces a transformation. The works that come from this transformation are NOT meritorious of salvation in ANY way, but rather are the evidence of the born-again experience.
This is the gospel of grace alone.
@@lionoffireraw What if the believer falls back into willfully sinning?
@@lionoffirerawthis ignores so many other Bible verses which emphasise works. What question will Christ ask us at the final judgement ? He will ask what we did for the least of our brethren and the consequences of our answer are immense. No mention of ‘faith ALONE’ in accurate and faithful translations, just faith. You have to play around with the translation to support your view. And you ignore the Epistle of James of course. All part of the shattering of Christendom that is Luther’s patrimony. 40,000 Protestant sects. Everyone thinks his understanding of scripture is THE right one. That’s not how the Holy Spirit works.

I’ll post a video below that talks about good people ⬇️
ua-cam.com/video/wXJ10K9H-1M/v-deo.htmlsi=-Og_lta64ayqOIRE
Sacred Scripture is only one third of God's Revelation.
That’s certainly want any cult will tell its followers…
I bought a King James Version Bible for 5.00 when I was in my early 20s. I got saved reading that Bible. I can tell you: the Bible is sufficient for all things related to the gospel and revelation of God. Oh, and I left the Catholic Church not long thereafter.
@@Brandaniron You do not get"saved" by reading the Bible. The Bible is only one third of the Revelation of God. Outside the Church there is no salvation.
@@aussierob7177Absolutely right. Your sins are not forgiven by reading the Bible. You must confess, receive absolution, and have a firm desire not to sin again. Then you must unite yourself with Christ as he offered himself as a sacrifice for our sins to the father. In him we are acceptable to the father. We do that by eating his body and drinking his blood. The father then sees his son in us and through his merits we may enter into his favour.
@@lionoffireraw In keeping with the Lord's command, the Gospel was handed on in two ways.....Orally, by the apostles who handed on, by the spoken word of their preaching, by the example they gave, by the institutions they established, what they themselves had received - whether from the lips of Christ, from his way of life and his works, or whether they had learned it at the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
In writing by those apostles and other men associated with the apostles who, under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit, committed the message of salvation to writing.
As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.
“Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to The Father except through Him.”
John 14 verse 6
““Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.””
Acts 4:12 NIV
I am still trying to figure out why people think that jesus dying on a cross means that he died for other peoples sins... i mean, he didnt really die, and "sinning" never stopped, so i dont get it.... it makes even less sense to me when i remember that christians believe that god knows everything and knows what will happen in the future.... so can someone try to explain it to me? how does jesus dyiong and then coming back from the dead, mean that he died for peoples sins? and what was the result of that anyway? he died, came back, and people still sin, right? if he didnt die on the cross, people will still sin. he died, people still sin. nothing stopped. sin didnt cease... so whats up with all that???
thank you for asking this hard question. He didn't do all of that to make people stop sinning; He did it so that, as long as we believe in Him and follow Him, we would be able to escape the punishment for sin. The catch is that once you belong to Him, you gradually become a person that's no longer very interested in sinning and doing whatever the hell you please, and gradually, you begin to align yourself with God and gradually become part of the solution for the evil in the world. I hope that helps
Jesus came as a human to be a perfect blood sacrifice (sinless, spotless, perfect, like the perfect sacrificial lamb required under the old covenant). The blood of Christ is sufficient to cover our sins, IF we receive Him and are born of His Spirit.
I used to say exactly what you did before I just asked Jesus if He was real because I didn't believe. Whoa! He absolutely is. He opened my blind spiritual eyes immediately and I was changed overnight. I knew then exactly how much of a sinner I was and that He paid the price for me in His blood (God's wrath).
Just ask the Lord Jesus Christ if He's real! If you want the Truth about this world and about God, He will show you and you'll be changed and in love with Him forever. Peace, love and a sound mind come with knowing Him and living for Him! He is alive and is God in flesh.
I hope you truly do have an open mind as you stated, because it is the most important decision you'll ever make, an eternal one.❤️✝️🛐
@@jeansroses7249 still doesnt make sense to me... people wouldbnt be able to escape punishment for sin without jesus dying on a cross??? why? can you explain WHY people wouldnt be able to do that without jesus dying on a cross?? why should someone be able to escape punishment for something anyway?
Also, arent there a lot of christians who continue to "sin" anyway?
what is sin anyway? are all sins immoral? are some sins specific to one religion? what about people of other religions? they cant escape their sins unless they become christians? i dont get any of this... i want to, but how can i?
why would i even want to escape punishment for my "sins" ? shouldnt i want to accept the consequences for my actions and woprk on improving myself, instead of just believing that a god will let me escape punishment just for believing?
i think i am already part of a solution for evil in the world. im not an evil person. i consider myself a moral and decent person. id bet that you and i share a very similar moral compass, even though we dont believe the same things about gods or religions
im still not understanding why jesus dying on a cross and then coming back, means that people can escape punishment for sins if they follow jesus... i mean, follow which jesus? which versino of the bible? follow which denominations principles?? ... they dont all agree...there isnt just one christianity. there are tons of diff branches and they often disagree. there isnt even one version of the bible. there are many, and they arent identical.
i dont see any way to figure out which one to accept, or even which religion to accept.
youre saying VERY similar things to other people of different religions that dont agree with your religion...
also, i already do whatever the hell i please. same as you. but i think you and i arent immoral people, so when we do whatever we please that doesnt mean we do bad things. perhaps we both already wouldnt "sin".
lastly, what is "sin" ?
do you agree that all the sins of your religion are actually immoral?
who determines what is or is not moral? you? do you decide for yourself, or do you have to have someone else or someone elses claims about what a god wants determine how you behave?
do you think that everyone who isnt christian just runs around being immoral and evil and willfully sinful and "whatever the hell they want" ?
not close minded...but i am a skeptical and scrutinizing kind of guy..thats how i arrive at conclusonis that i can defend and stand behind...on this topic though, im still without a conclusion
@@TSeeker1 how am i supposed to ask a question to someone i dont believe even exists in the first place???
have YOU ever asked allah or brahma or any other gods of other religions if they exist or not?
if you havent, im guessing its for the same reason that i can not ask jesus questions
i can not say that jesus does not exist. maybe he does. maybe christianity is correct.
but maybe some other god of some other religion is true and jesus and christianity is not...
are you open minded enough to admit that you might be wrong about jesus and your religion?
@@UnderWaterExploring I was a new age occultist for over 25 years. I taught and professionally practiced everything you can think of and believed fully in every god. Except Jesus Christ. I couldn't stand to hear His name. I hated Christians. Until...
My home became infested with demons. I'm talking about the most vile things that Hollywood depicts and things being hurled by a force you can't always physically see. Those things are real, ask any occultist, physics gets defied daily. When they turn on you, they aren't beautiful anymore and a terror there are no words for comes with. I saw a video on my feed when this was happening and it was a testimony of someone involved in exactly the same thing describing his infestation. And that he called on Jesus and everything changed.
At that point, I had been dealing with this for over 10 years, and had gone from "having it all" to losing everything, friends, family, health, career. Stripped. I called on Jesus, like I told you.... The most amazing love and peace washed over me and He changed everything, my whole worldview overnight. He gave me a hunger for His word and I finally could understand it. He has restored me and broke all addictions and proclivities that were keeping me hostage to darkness, and given me eternal life. I didn't even realize I was dead (spiritually). He's amazing, faithful and the best friend you'll ever have. His word (Bible) is absolutely true.
Just step outside of your worldview and ask Him. What have you got to lose? Eternity is a long time to be wrong. I'm telling you this because I love you and want the same joy for you, and it is only in Jesus Christ, the rest are counterfeit demons parading as light, promising you everything and costing you your soul.
Please, ask Him to save your soul.🛐✝️
Jesus never said that he is god , i' fact he said that he has a god , and that prouves thqt he is not god cause by defenition a god does not have a god
The Bible clearly demonstrates that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. It also demonstrates that they are separate Persons. It also demonstrates there is ONE God (one Being).
The Trinity is an inescapable fact of the Bible.

@@lionoffireraw I know the defence I believed it for 28 years until my eyes were opened , also I don't believe in anhilation as an end either, I believe in what the majority of the early Church believed in. I gave a long response as well as some excellent biblical teachings, but okay, you can keep to a doctrine that is so utterly indefensible in terms of its injustice by quoting mistranslated scriptures, that's your perogative. Your hell filter is a real thing, and takes God to be a psychopathic sadist. I don't think He is, He is a Holy and Just Judge who also happens to be the perfect, loving Father, who desires mercy over judgment and that all would be saved. Billions upon billions of people have died in this world over millenia never hearing about Jesus, thus never having the opportunity to reject Him, let alone choose Him! That is why Ultimate Reconciliation, only through Christ is the most apposite doctrine. Love.
How do these anacdotal stories, even if true, prove any god is beyond me.
Trying to tell that theist do not have chilling deathbed experiences is just dishonest. It simply is not true.
True, you are right about that. People who put their faith in any other than the Lord Jesus Christ can and do have terror at the point of death because only Jesus Christ is God! He Is The only One that died in our place so that we could inherit eternal life.

"... and these accounts come from seven different people and were given to me..."
So, you present us with second-hand accounts (at best, could also be third-hand accounts or more removed, who knows) and the source is Trust Me Bro!
Yeah, sure.
According to Matthew 7:13-14, the overwhelming majority of people should be non-Christians and therefore going to hell. So one would assume that these horror stories would be commonplace, in fact they should happen in nearly all cases someone dies.
Yet, this is not so.
To be perfectly frank, I seriously doubt that these stories are even true. They sound like the stories circling in Christian circles that are pretty much never properly sourced, even when they appear in Christian books.
If they were indeed true, one would have to wonder what is going on. Why are these cases so exceedingly rare when Christianity teaches the opposite?
Of course, none of these stories as you told them even make a link to Christianity. This needs to be made by means of interpretation by the listener.
But I understand that this kind of story is very effective for Christian listeners who will be reassured in their belief in a religion that fails to present proper evidence for its claims.
I stated in the video that it’s anecdotal evidence, and to make of it what you will. You are entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else.
@@lionoffireraw I am aware that you said that. I listened to the entire video, indeed.
But conceding that all you present is anecdotal evidence (how far removed is still unclear) does not elevate those anecdotes above criticism.

The truth is that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning.
Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead.
When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed.
All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃

If you can believe this, there are actually people today (and I mean full grown adults!!), who believe that our ancestors are fish and bacteria!! 🤦🏼♂️
Hallucinations at death are common. Each culture views death differently. No one knows what happens after that.
Jesus does, because he fulfilled prophecy and historically rose from the dead. So I’ll trust him over you (or anyone else, who says that we can’t know).
@@lionoffireraw Ppl of other faiths will see their affirmations as they pass also. They don't know what happens after we pass either.

Such a claim is also called "Boundary Maintenance", aka unyielding to fact or evidence that is contrary.
Only allah can save you not jesus , accept islam before you dying
Let me tell you about death. Falling asleep in front of the tv without the waking up. That’s death for you in all its magnificent glory. Near death experiences are not: right after death experiences. They are part of the life side. And it’s a part of life to turn our deepest wishes into beliefs. But there is a silver lining around the harsh reality. As humans we are only capable to experience life since there’s no awareness about death whatsoever; no, not even for a short time to observe who will grieve over you. So in a way we all live eternally. The concept of death belongs to our relatives.
Believe in islam , or this will happen you you
In response to the last video you posted, as a strong fellow believer of the faith I wanted to say that I believe I already warned you at a point many months ago about how that if you were ever again to stick your finger in our American federal politics then I would unsubscribe from you. Well that is what just happened.
Bye 👋
@@lionoffireraw If that is your attitude about it then that makes me even more upset enough to want to be glad that I did this.
If someone is going to unsubscribe because they disagree on something like this, then they can’t be too interested in watching this channel.
I really don’t like the tone of your message.
Firstly, I don’t make topic choices based on whether someone “warns me that they will unsubscribe from me.”
Secondly, I can speak on any global topic that I choose. I don’t have to reside in that particular country.
This is exactly why I turned off comments on that video. Because there will be a few people who just want to stir up trouble.
Honestly, if you want to watch the videos, watch them. If you don’t want to watch the videos, then don’t. I’m not really interested in people making a song and dance about it.
@@lionoffirerawlol I hate politics so I only watched a couple minutes of that video but I DID notice comments were turned off. Smart move😂
According to your Hell filter: God who is all knowing, all powerful, knowingly created billions of human beings who He knows will burn in agony, conscious for ever. I had 28 years of trying to fit that Orwellian doublethink into my faith. This God who I encountered 33 years ago, who with each passing year reveals His love, grace and Mercy, is exactly like Jesus, who said if you'd seen Him you'd seen the Father. I have been studying the hell scriptures for the last 5 years , and also the early Church Fathers, such as those who wrote our Creed, the Nicene Creed. Most of them believed that Hell was God's Consuming fire of love that burnt up all sin. They believed in Ultimate Reconciliation through Christ, our Saviour, our Sanctification and our resurrection. The mistranslation when it comes to hell is based on mistranslation from the Greek, or trying to fit the Hell doctrine around the translation. When the hell filter is removed, that is Eternal Conscious Torment, God's righteous judgments can be clearly seen as Just, loving, righteous and Holy. When you are able to think clearly and trust your own heart that God has transformed, you begin to understand the terrible Blasphemy of believing that God would consign a human being, a finite person, to an infinite mental and physical agony. He made us in His image, He leaves the 99 UNTIL, the lost one is found. You are called lost because you will be found. Our glorious Father takes responsibility for everyone He created. The devil's doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, which only really become the one acceptable version in the 6th Century, whereas before that it was one of 3 doctrines that were preached. The most popular being Ultimate Reconciliation: 1 Corinthians 15:28. Look at the original Greek usage of Punishment: Kolasis which is a horticultural word meaning pruning! Look at the Greek word for Eternity, Aionius, look how it's used throughout the New Testament, of an Age, or Ages, a specific time, not just Forever. Like at the Word translated for Destruction, it's the same word used for the 'Lost' coin, the 'Lost' sheep' and the Prodigal Son. The Word is my only plumb-line, Jesus is my Saviour and Lord, and the Saviour of the World 1 John 2:2. Your Hell doctrine is the most popular, but understand its historical Heritage, late Augustine and the Emperor Justinian, a Roman Power play used for control. Augustine admitted his Greek was poor, and used the Latin Vulgate for His doctrines, where the Greek Fathers actually clearly understood the Greek of the New Testament and the Old Testament Greek Translation that was used by Jesus, the Septuagint. When the Gospel spread so widely, which Gospel did you imagine was being preached, a Universal Gospel of Christ that in Him includes the whole of creation, or the fear based, believe in me or fry in your own fat? Sorry, but I always had problems with the dissonance of such a psychopathic doctrine. Thank God the Holy Spirit led me to some great Christian, Christ centred writers. Finally, I know about time!! LOLOL!! The Word that was translated as Hell that Jesus used, Gehenna, please do a deep dive, it has history, and was a physical place south of Jerusalem, a place of misery and destruction, not some abstract eternal destination!!

All lies or demonic activity. You don't "go" anywhere when you die.
The dead in Christ are waiting for His return just like we are waiting.
Stop this false teaching invented by Catholicism.
You don’t go anywhere when you die? How do you know that?? Have you died??
@@journeytrials
Read the Bible, stop watching nonsense YT videos.
@@my1vice I have read the scriptures! What’s your point??
@@journeytrials
Apparently, you need to read them again.
Thats God. Leading people to sin evilness and atheism through ignoring their heart and leaving them in the world HE created. Them sending them to hell.
You're a false teacher.....
What a load of anecdotal nonsense.
The truth is that Jesus has proved himself reliable to answer all the big questions of life: origins, destination, morality, and meaning.
Attempts to undermine the veracity of the Bible have failed for millennia. The Bible has been proven reliable historically and archaeologically, and fulfilled prophecy proves its Divine origin. The historic resurrection proves that Jesus is in fact, God. He fulfilled numerous specific prophecies, claimed to be God in the flesh, and then backed it up by rising from the dead.
When anyone claims that we can’t know the answers, or something is not possible, they don’t realise that the answers have already been revealed.
All of this truth is well-established, and even a cursory look on the Internet will reveal the evidence for this. The problem is that they don’t want to believe. They set up an arbitrary, subjective standard of evidence, (which means nothing), so in their minds they feel justified in not believing. But all the evidence is there 😃

Look up visioning... It's part of the curriculum as a hospice nurse.... It happens all the time, ..peaceful and terrifying visioning is apart of dying.. Repent and believe LORD Jesus, we can't be medicated out of hell .. why die in our sins, when he took our punishment for us ...

_' It happens all the time, ..peaceful and terrifying visioning is apart of dying'_
Sigh......well it would wouldn't it when someone is at deaths door!
When the brain starts to shut down visions are quite common.
_'Repent and believe LORD Jesus'_
There is no real evidence for any miraculous Jesus. He is just a mythical figure in an old religious book.
You are free to ignore this video, you too will find out one way or another!! No one is forcing you to believe! You’ll find out!
