    Nice approach on you're method of teaching the truth of the gospel. "You will know them (children of god) by their fruits." stay strong in your faith and pray for the latter rain, my brother in Christ. :)

      That would be Jehovah's Witnesses. They are the only ones that truly have love among themselves. Any other religion will go to war or fight one another.

    I agree. God has always been God. He created a new covenant with the people that seek him and love him and obey his commandments. I believe what the word states when it states that we are not all Israel but spiritual Israel and about his chosen people not being a literal Jew.To me that means that since I am not a Jew by blood line, I am still loved and accepted into his adopted family as well as other people that love him and know the truth.It makes my heart skip a beat knowing that he loves me.

    Not to be argumentative, but you are wrong. The God of the old testament is the same God of the new testament. Jesus being the son of God, is the same God of the old testament. Read the gospel of St. John 1. Again, not looking for an argument. Just letting you know that you believe and serve Jesus, you are still believing and serving the God of the new testament. Also read Colossians 1:15.

    They were then not called Jews, rather Iraelites.
    Jews descend from the tribe of Judah.
    Our God and Father is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
    Christ Jesus is our Salvation ( saviour) and the way to the Father is THROUGH HIM.
    The ten northern tribes went over the Caucasus mountains and became Ireland, scotland, Holland etc.
    Jesus' Uncle ( Joseph of aramethia was a metals trader and settled in what was then known as Brittannia after the resserection of christ.
    He formed the church of Glastonbury.

    God has always been God. If you're trying to teach someone the truth, you should do as Jesus did. He taught with patience, love, kindness, mercy and wisdom. JESUS DID NOT JUDGE OR CONDEMN, AS YOU HAVE THIS PERSON! "Judge not least you be judged." You're acting as the judgmental men did when they threw the woman that was caught in the act of committing a sin, at the feet of Jesus and said,"Stone her." My point is Jesus' message was taught with mercy and love, you lack these qualities. Be nice.

    I'll bet all the men that dug that tunnel, had wished Hezekiah would had talked to god first. Then they would have known that the lord was going to send a angel to wipe out 185000 Assarians. Would have saved a lot of back breaking work.

    Thanks for the video. I was enjoying it until you mentioned the book of mormon. Mormonism is so historically unfounded. I don't understand how anyone in the right mind who knows anything about the study of ancient history can hold credibly to the Book of Mormonism. I'm so baffled by Mormons. The more I look into the claims of Mormonism the more puzzled I am that people believe it. The claims have no academic historical weight whatsoever. It's so strange that people believe Joseph Smith and co???

    The Bible claims Jerusalem is spared because God destroys part of the Assyrian army with plague. Sennacherib claims he spared Jerusalem because Hezekiah's soldiers deserted him, to save their lives, and accept Sennacherib's terms he gave, before the siege, promising them their lives if they deserted Hezekiah: "Make your peace with me and come out to me; then every one of you will eat of his own vine...fig tree...cistern." (2 Kings 19:31) "Hezekiah...whose irregular and elite troops which he had brought into Jerusalem, his royal residence, in order to strengthen it, had deserted him.." (pp. 200-201. "Sennacherib the Siege of Jerusalem." James B. Pritchard, editor. The Ancient Near East. An Anthology of Texts and Pictures. Vol. 1. Princeton University Press. 1958)

      @@dovbarleib3256 The bible has the Assyrian king slain by his own sons as punishment by God for the destruction of Judaea. The Bible account NEGLECTS to state the assassination happened 20 YEARS after the surrender of Jerusalem to the Assyrian king! So, the bible EDITED OUT the 20 years to make the reader think the Assyrian king's assassination was SHORTLY after the king returned to Assyra! So, I do NOT trust the Bible when it refuses to tell the whole truth, instead it leaves out the interval of 20 years before the assassination!

      It says that Senncharib King of Assyria returned and then DWELT in Nineveh. It does not tell us how long. The Bible says in the next verse that he was assassinated. It does not PRETEND to say that this assassination occurred right away. The text even says that he dwelt in Nineveh using the Hebrew word for living in a place for a considerable amount of time, VaYeshev.
