I'm suffering. So so much. Have been for a few years especially . I'm contemplating taking my own life. I don't feel God does love me. Please pray for me. It wasn't easy writing this . Thank you
Tim Sharpe i am sorry that you are suffering so much! I will pray for you and I want to ask you, please talk to someone about this, so they can pray for you too! And maybe help you get through this. I hope and pray that God gives you His peace and that He will give you the strength, His strength to get through this. And you may not feel it, I sure don’t always feel it. But He does love us! Unconditionally!
Tim Sharpe You are SO LOVED, and you were worth dying for. Your heavenly Father loves you with an everlasting love, a love that endures, a love that can never be earned nor lost. Ask Him in this moment for Him to reveal His love for you and comfort you, and bring peace to your spirit. Hang on Tim, dont give up on this life by your own means. It is not your time, you still have purpose and a reason for being here. Lives that you will touch. Try to be an encouragement to someone today. Even the smallest compliment can bless someone so much. You are a blessing Tim, your life is a blessing. Praying for you and sending you love.
I'm praying for you too. I can't say I understand what you're going through but I can assure you that Jesus does. The bible says that He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities, that is, He understands what we're going through. It may not feel like it sometimes but He does. I pray that even in this situation you will see the beauty and glory of God. I pray that you will not take your own life and I don't even know you but I'm sure that the people that do know you would not want you to. Be strong and when you can't be strong lean on someone or Someone who can and is. Talk to someone, there are those who are willing to bear your burden with you. I'm willing to bear your burden in prayer. Definitely praying for you.
Tim Sharpe God loves you so much He sent His only son to pay the price for all sin so you can have everlasting life John 3:16 John 10:10 Satan comes to steak and kill and destroy but Jesus came to give us life abundantly We cannot trust our feelings we must place our trust in God and His word that is what lasts and doesn’t change You are being prayed for please pray and reach out to someone please don’t let Satan lie to you tell him to get away from you fight with scripture and prayer your life is precious and God has plans for you for your future and Hope Jeremiah 29:11 I pray you will place your trust in God Almighty through Jesus Christ His son and that you will not let the enemy win
How's it goin' Tim. I know what you mean when you don't feel Him near or His love or don't 'see' Him anymore. There is no fix all answer. However, pursuing Jesus is ALWAYS best. I remember not too long ago I thought I was a goner. I pleaded with Jesus. I was basically debilitated all day. Reading the psalms was comforted me as the authors of them can relate to you. Ive seen in all the psalms of pleading for rescue, that there is hope in God's unfailing love. Pour out to Him even if he doesn't feel near and if you can't do that man. Plead. Just some verses to throw our there for you man. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He will never leave us or forsake us. I'm with you pal. You're not alone. Message back if you need someone to talk to. Hang in there. Pursue Jesus relentlessly. You're not alone!! Steve
thank u God u make me strong il give u entire my life my God thank u so much i love u o God ❤❤❤❤ i will praise u all my life thank u all sadness n hapiness i will praise u my whole life Amen❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
INCORRUPTIBLE WORD What to do if I find Christ boring? I don’t see him as the reward, and I dont know what to do to change this, how to love Christ and see him (not heaven or rewards) as the biggest reward?
@@leviackerman6678 hello Levi, I know this is 2 years later but I hope to help. The hardest thing to do in this situation is to read the Bible, pray and mostly to get your soul feeding from surmins and fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ. I say this if your Bible reading and prayers are not going well, but they must still be done. I have found that a hymn that describes Jesus's love clearly is always like a honey in the hardest moments. Search for such a hymn, these tend to be old hymns rich in biblical depictions of Christ and his love. I'll be praying you Levi! God loves you dear brother and seek Him, he will reveal him self to you. Try taking a fasting and devote time to prayer and confess your sins to close brothers and sisters as this very helpful to you to ease burdens and the will also pray for you.
@@ssebhatu3001 I feel like Levi!! Pray for me, I feel so alone!!! I want to feel loved by God I don’t feel anything I want my heart to change emotionally!!!!🙏🏽
Father, thank you for suffering. Thank you for revealing yourself to me in it. Thank you for sustaining me. After three long years, I can stand on the other side of the valley, look back at what I’ve been though, and say with the Psalmist “come and see what God has done” (Psalm 66)!” Thank you, Father - thank you.
I learned that either 1.God doesn't exist, 2. God does exist, but he is not perfectly loving. 3. God does exist, he is perfectly loving, but he is incapable of following through on his promise of a relationship for the asking. 4. God does exist, he is perfectly loving, he is capable of following through with a promise of a relationship, but has decided to wait (for some reason) until later to be faithful. I have learned that in all these scenarios, its not my problem.
@@incorruptibleword4513 I never said it was simply for the asking. That was dishonest of you. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. How many verses do you need about God supposed faithfulness?

The greatest Love God Gave us..was His commandments to live..to Save us from our own sins which will cause us much suffering. For every sin we commit there is a consequence. To think we can be happy when we go on sinning will not happen. The OT and NT are but many examples of how people either obeyed or disobeyed Gods commandments. But we need to be careful to discriminate between what is Gods commandments and what are men's commandments. Men's commandments Do Not Save you.
God Loves Me loves us only Loves us... And do Nothing..Only Loves us...If ur are in trouble he only loves u... if u are poor he only loves u...And Doing nothing about urs poverty or Trouble.. GOD MAKE THE DEVIL AND DEVIL IS DOING HIS WORK....THEN HOW WE CAN BLAME TO DEVIL.. WHO MAKE IT GOD... AND WE BLESS THE GOD FOR MAKING THE DEVIL ON EARTH... WHAT A GREAT LOVE OF GOD...
When you know that it is God (the creator) he speaks to you and you listen to it, you understand it, it is a beautiful feeling to know the true god, the one who is everywhere and everything at the same time. In this life and the next stay in the light. Ramon Sandoval. Cuando sabes que es dios (el creador) te habla y tu lo escuchas lo entiendes lo sientes, es un hermoso sentimiento conocer el verdadero dios, el que esta en todos lados y lo es todo a la vez. En esta vida y la siguiente quedate en la luz. Ramon Sandoval.
iknow that God love me but devil want to separate me and disconnect from love of God but he can't he is already defeated on across and his day are numbered pliz Lord have Mercy on me fill my mind with your lover ineed more .
I pray to God and cry out to God but I don’t see results. I ask Jesus to help me too. I know I’m no the only one who doesn’t see results but it’s heartbreaking. You feel like God does not love you the same way that He loves others. It hurts my feelings. I don’t feel He shows me Him. I don’t feel God is with me. I am suffering so much. I think I will not feel Gods love until I get to the afterlife.
@Omar Suave. Before you ask anyone for help, you need to know the person first. So God is like that, you need to know God's personal name, what he hates and likes! From there you can get closer to God then you can ask him anything you want, and he will answer you according to his will. Read 1 John 5:14. Moreover, there is more questions that you will like to know the answers from the Bible like: Does God really care about me? What is God like? Does he have a name? Is it possible to get close to God? And a lot more. Please feel free to ask any question that bothers you and I'm ready to answer without cost 🙏🥰
Jesus is the bridge between our world and heaven. Jesus took and is still carrying our weight as we go through that bridge. So we must make sure that the load we are carrying in us is fruitful and worthy. Is Jesus going to be able to carry our load as well as us? Is our load going to pass the examination at the gates of HEAVEN? Also we never know how our faith might be tested. We all have take our cross.. Many people say, but what does this means? Let me give an example of what it means : There was a man who immensely loved one particular woman for a long time, but never showed any sings of it to her. Eventually, somehow, she felt in love with him too. One day she went to him and told him how she feels and that she wants to be with him. What he did in reply? He told her that he doesn’t love her and that he doesn’t want to have anything in common with her! (can you imagine the pain that the man went through)? Now can you imagine the pain that Jesus went through dying on the cross for OUR SINS? The pain that he went through because HE LOVED US? The pain from being ignored, ridiculed and neglected by everyone. And no, he had an option but he didn’t use it. ( Matthew 26:53 Jesus has said - Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?) So what have YOU BEEN THROUGH? What event or anything in your life can indicate that you love Jesus? What kind of action, deed? Have you ever given money to an homeless man? But what if he wasn’t just an homeless man? (Hebrews 13:2 - Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.) Have you ever fed an homeless animal? How many times do you think you have been tested in your life? Matthew 19:21 - Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Are you a christian just because your present situation is financially stable and good? Are you a Christian Because you do not lack anything and you want to express you joy into something and you call this something GOD? Will your faith remain if you lose your money? If you lose your reputation? 2. NOW, IF YOU HAVE TO PUT ASIDE ALL your THINGS AND LIVE IN POVERTY while also others are making fun of you for believing in some OLD BEARDED man in the sky, WILL YOU STILL BE A CHRISTIAN? will you be content only with JESUS? You do not need to reply to me. The answer has already appeared in your heart. > ? What if you are being tested right now through reading this? So is the phrase pick up your cross and follow Jesus still obscure to you? How a heavy cross can you carry? From what MATTER is your cross made? How can you prove that you love Jesus and want to follow him? Are you still relying on someone to bring you to JESUS? Let me ask you this > can someone find you a partner and build you a relationship with him, instead of you? Will it be a true, genuine love between you two? Do not rely on someone else to bring you to JESUS CHRIST. GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND SAY > Dear Jesus, I know that you are the son of GOD, I know that you died for my sins, I want you in my life!!! Please help me, because I can’t manage without you. I love you and I want to be next to you. Please remove all my ego, pride and selfishness. Bring me close to you! Do you think you won’t receive anything for your loyalty to God? The creator of nature, science and everything? Corinthians 2:9 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has stored for those who love him. But do you love him genuinely? Have you made and placed your cross on your back? Your deeds matter. If they don't then based on what is your judgement going to be? On unproven faith and happy talk? Where's the evidence for your faith?
Too many people measure the love of God by how much they receive through the world. When in reality God is taking away a lot of things that would destroy us but we are often too immature to see that. I would love to be married with children at my age but I think God sees disaster. So I pray and wait.
Hebrews 12:6-11 KJVS [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. This is how God loves us, by actively ensuring that we become holy and mature in the fruit of righteousness. www.justifiedfreely.com/?p=646
I came looking an answer to my question of what does God get from loving me. I did not realize what I really was asking was whether God really really really love me.
The way to know His love for us is to read & believe His Word, as faith comes by hearing, and hearing, the Word of God: 1 John 3:16 “This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. “God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.” 1 John 4:9-11 CSB Then when we _believe_ the Truth, the Holy Spirit in us provides testimony with our spirit that we are then God’s children. So let’s not seek the _experience_, but the Truth. And the experiences will follow.
I love Piper’s definition of eternal life, but how sad it is that Piper also believes that God only loves the elect despite quoting John 3:16 The world, ie, all individuals, needs to hear that God loves them so much that He sent His Son to die in their place.
God allows most people to hate Him forever. A very few, He does not. But don't be deceived to think He doesn't separate the Haters from the Lovers into Hell and Heaven.
All you know about God is what the Bible says. How do you know God didn’t lie? How do you know there is salvation? How do you know he loves you or even cares? How do you know he has a plan? How do you know if he is all powerful or all knowing? All you know is what he told you.
Why is it that John 1:1 reveals Jesus as God but John 1:18 reveals am as a begotten God that he had a beginning John 17:3 reveals two persons Jesus Christ and coming to know on the true God and the true Gods title was Jehovah Yahweh in Hebrew so therefore there's a real father and a real son don't be fooled
Within theological circles ... in heaven, where there isn't supposed to be any sin ... how could Satan have been "able" to sin? And if Satan was able to sin when he was in heaven ... that means that you will also be allowed to sin when you arrive in heaven.
@@anthi-mariakouvatsou8746 Without the word "soul," there couldn't be any religion. All stories are based on what the soul is thinking, and what the soul is doing, and where the soul came from, and where the soul is going after death of the physical body. Fortunes have been made by theologians who taught that the soul is a gift from God, and that women must never have abortions, because abortions offend God's gift to humanity. Evolution of the soul is a huge seller in religion. It means that your soul is ever upgrading and will hopefully soon make the grade of God's "entire" approval of enlightenment and salvation … or … that in the afterlife something horrible could happen to your soul. If you remove the word "soul" from religion, you will not have anything but ground zero.
What does that mean though? What does it practically look like to know God like Jesus says? That’s where all the sermons seem to stop. That’s what I want to know.
Woah.... this guy is still alive? I learned that either 1.God doesn't exist, 2. God does exist, but he is not perfectly loving. 3. God does exist, he is perfectly loving, but he is incapable of following through on his promise of a relationship for the asking. 4. God does exist, he is perfectly loving, he is capable of following through with a promise of a relationship, but has decided to wait (for some unknown reason) until later to actually be faithful. I have learned that in all these scenarios, its not my problem.
MegaMiir let me use economics (i know right? Interesting!) to show you how God makes his decisions. If you know economics Consumers must have BOTH the willingness and ability to buy a good. Likewise, God must have the WILLINGNESS and ABILITY to be Omni- everything, omni potent, omnibenevolent, onnipresent, omniwhatever. God 100% has the ability to be omni-anything. But does he have the willingness to do so? God has a will. And so at times he will choose to not use all his power. God has to find the best ways to maximise the welfare of society. After literally considering an infinite amount of externalities, God comes to the conclusion to run the universe that we are in. Asking whether God is able create a rock he cant lift is as good as asking whether einstein is able do simple math. Sometimes questions can be utterly stupid.
@@darkdrift0r124 God exists within a category of entities that because there are not logically impossible are technically possible. Other inhabitants of this category are dragons that breathe fire and sit on piles of gold, and elves that can pass through walls, and turn invisible at will. We dismiss these dragons and elves, as well as other fantasy creatures, by looking for them and not finding them. I have not found a single reason why God should not be treated in the same manner. If the God you talking about actually does anything in the physical world, if falls within the realm of scientific scrutiny. If the God you are describing does nothing in the physical world, why should i care how you define him?
Amazing orator this man is, truly a gift from God ,but yet this same man, Mr Piper will tell you that God does NOT love all, only those that were elect before the foundation of the world. The worst confusion that there is, is pious confusion. They are neutered Christians, removing fath and belief from the Gospel through Augustinian philosophy. Please hear me, their confusion doesn't hurt themselves, it hurts the struggling christian or unbeliever trying to understand the Gospel, if you are suffering through a habit, an addiction, a sin...whatever it is that you've tried to stop or get free from and you've failed over and over, I beg of you not to give up and fall for the lies of these charlatans that preach a Gospel for only the elect. The fact that you have struggled and failed many times does not mean that you are not chosen or not one of the elect, or that you were created as a vessel of wrath before the beginning of time, these are lies from the enemy, you can have true freedom through Christ, He truly does love you, and let me let you in on a truth, the ones that our Lord elects, chooses and calls, are those that come to the foot of the cross in humility and humbleness of heart, repent and leave the struggle there my friend, at His feet and believe that the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's can deliver you, and you will be saved, delivered and set free, see yourself clean and BE CLEAN through the power of HIS resurrection and the power of the Holy Spirit !!!🙏
God favors people who do bad. If you feel God doesn't love you then try doing evil and see how his love grows for you. See how easily you start to get things done. When doing good didn't get you the love of God doing evil definitely will. Jesus said so himself "I'm here for the sinners". Do evil and do what ever you want for you to get a better life. Lie, Cheat, commit adultery and steal for your own benefit without any feeling of guilt. Achieve your dream here while you are still alive. Look at all the people in history who were considered as Evil. Everyone had a great life till the very last day they lived. Most probably died in an instant. Now look at everyone in history who has done good and see how their lives have been. Connect the dots, Read the Bible carefully and connect these dots. Don't be fooled. Have a goal and do what ever it takes to achieve it, That your purpose in this life. Sin as much as you want cause in the end it will all be forgiven.
Oh how much I love Dr. Piper’s preaching. His emotions are so genuine and the love he has for God is so wonderful to see on his face.

When you know that it is God (the creator) he speaks to you and you listen to it, you understand it, it is a beautiful feeling to know the true god, the one who is everywhere and everything at the same time. In this life and the next stay in the light. Ramon Sandoval.
Cuando sabes que es dios (el creador) te habla y tu lo escuchas lo entiendes lo sientes, es un hermoso sentimiento conocer el verdadero dios, el que esta en todos lados y lo es todo a la vez. En esta vida y la siguiente quedate en la luz. Ramon Sandoval.

Amen!
I pray to God and cry out to God but I don’t see results. I ask Jesus to help me too. I know I’m no the only one who doesn’t see results but it’s heartbreaking. You feel like God does not love you the same way that He loves others. It hurts my feelings. I don’t feel He shows me Him. I don’t feel God is with me. I am suffering so much. I think I will not feel Gods love until I get to the afterlife.
@Omar Suave. Before you ask anyone for help, you need to know the person first. So God is like that, you need to know God's personal name, what he hates and likes! From there you can get closer to God then you can ask him anything you want, and he will answer you according to his will. Read 1 John 5:14. Moreover, there is more questions that you will like to know the answers from the Bible like: Does God really care about me? What is God like? Does he have a name? Is it possible to get close to God? And a lot more. Please feel free to ask any question that bothers you and I'm ready to answer without cost 🙏🥰
I feel the same!
Jesus is the bridge between our world and heaven.
Jesus took and is still carrying our weight as we go through that bridge.
So we must make sure that the load we are carrying in us is fruitful and worthy.
Is Jesus going to be able to carry our load as well as us?
Is our load going to pass the examination at the gates of HEAVEN?
Also we never know how our faith might be tested.
We all have take our cross.. Many people say, but what does this means?
Let me give an example of what it means :
There was a man who immensely loved one particular woman for a long time, but never showed any sings of it to her.
Eventually, somehow, she felt in love with him too.
One day she went to him and told him how she feels and that she wants to be with him.
What he did in reply?
He told her that he doesn’t love her and that he doesn’t want to have anything in common with her!
(can you imagine the pain that the man went through)?
Now can you imagine the pain that Jesus went through dying on the cross for OUR SINS?
The pain that he went through because HE LOVED US?
The pain from being ignored, ridiculed and neglected by everyone.
And no, he had an option but he didn’t use it. ( Matthew 26:53 Jesus has said - Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?)
So what have YOU BEEN THROUGH?
What event or anything in your life can indicate that you love Jesus?
What kind of action, deed?
Have you ever given money to an homeless man?
But what if he wasn’t just an homeless man? (Hebrews 13:2 - Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.)
Have you ever fed an homeless animal?
How many times do you think you have been tested in your life?
Matthew 19:21 - Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
Are you a christian just because your present situation is financially stable and good? Are you a Christian Because you do not lack anything and you want to express you joy into something and you call this something GOD?
Will your faith remain if you lose your money? If you lose your reputation?
2. NOW, IF YOU HAVE TO PUT ASIDE ALL your THINGS AND LIVE IN POVERTY while also others are making fun of you for believing in some OLD BEARDED man in the sky, WILL YOU STILL BE A CHRISTIAN? will you be content only with JESUS? You do not need to reply to me. The answer has already appeared in your heart.
> ? What if you are being tested right now through reading this?
So is the phrase pick up your cross and follow Jesus still obscure to you?
How a heavy cross can you carry?
From what MATTER is your cross made?
How can you prove that you love Jesus and want to follow him?
Are you still relying on someone to bring you to JESUS?
Let me ask you this > can someone find you a partner and build you a relationship with him, instead of you?
Will it be a true, genuine love between you two?
Do not rely on someone else to bring you to JESUS CHRIST. GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND SAY > Dear Jesus, I know that you are the son of GOD, I know that you died for my sins, I want you in my life!!!
Please help me, because I can’t manage without you. I love you and I want to be next to you.
Please remove all my ego, pride and selfishness. Bring me close to you!
Do you think you won’t receive anything for your loyalty to God?
The creator of nature, science and everything?
Corinthians 2:9 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has stored for those who love him.
But do you love him genuinely? Have you made and placed your cross on your back?
Your deeds matter. If they don't then based on what is your judgement going to be? On unproven faith and happy talk? Where's the evidence for your faith?
Too many people measure the love of God by how much they receive through the world. When in reality God is taking away a lot of things that would destroy us but we are often too immature to see that. I would love to be married with children at my age but I think God sees disaster. So I pray and wait.
Truth
Hebrews 12:6-11 KJVS
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
This is how God loves us, by actively ensuring that we become holy and mature in the fruit of righteousness.

I came looking an answer to my question of what does God get from loving me. I did not realize what I really was asking was whether God really really really love me.
The way to know His love for us is to read & believe His Word, as faith comes by hearing, and hearing, the Word of God:
1 John 3:16 “This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us.
“God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.”
1 John 4:9-11 CSB
Then when we _believe_ the Truth, the Holy Spirit in us provides testimony with our spirit that we are then God’s children.
So let’s not seek the _experience_, but the Truth. And the experiences will follow.
Amen
JOHN 3:16
I love Piper’s definition of eternal life, but how sad it is that Piper also believes that God only loves the elect despite quoting John 3:16 The world, ie, all individuals, needs to hear that God loves them so much that He sent His Son to die in their place.
God allows most people to hate Him forever. A very few, He does not. But don't be deceived to think He doesn't separate the Haters from the Lovers into Hell and Heaven.
Does anyone cry when they pray
Why is it I can't seem to see God's love for me, I know he died for all, His love feels far out of reach impossible to experience on a personal level,
Bollocks. Prove to me that Jesus loves me? Resurrect my little girl and give her back to me.
So, if I got to 0:45 in the video, and didn't really comprehend what he was meaning to say, then I should.....
Watch it again maybe?
This guy sounds like and insane person but he is just expressing himself
All you know about God is what the Bible says. How do you know God didn’t lie? How do you know there is salvation? How do you know he loves you or even cares? How do you know he has a plan? How do you know if he is all powerful or all knowing? All you know is what he told you.
🤷♂️
@@kelseykjarsgaard5774 why are you subscribed to Alpha M?
How about giving children to abusers. How about lifetimes of abuse? How do we measure God’s love in that?
That the man not God !
Why is it that John 1:1 reveals Jesus as God but John 1:18 reveals am as a begotten God that he had a beginning John 17:3 reveals two persons Jesus Christ and coming to know on the true God and the true Gods title was Jehovah Yahweh in Hebrew so therefore there's a real father and a real son don't be fooled
Within theological circles ... in heaven, where there isn't supposed to be any sin ... how could Satan have been "able" to sin? And if Satan was able to sin when he was in heaven ... that means that you will also be allowed to sin when you arrive in heaven.
We will only have souls in heaven. I don't know if this is the reason that we won't be able to sin
It may be. I am not sure
@@anthi-mariakouvatsou8746 Without the word "soul," there couldn't be any religion. All stories are based on what the soul is thinking, and what the soul is doing, and where the soul came from, and where the soul is going after death of the physical body. Fortunes have been made by theologians who taught that the soul is a gift from God, and that women must never have abortions, because abortions offend God's gift to humanity. Evolution of the soul is a huge seller in religion. It means that your soul is ever upgrading and will hopefully soon make the grade of God's "entire" approval of enlightenment and salvation … or … that in the afterlife something horrible could happen to your soul. If you remove the word "soul" from religion, you will not have anything but ground zero.
@@junevandermark952 I don't understand what you mean and how this is related to what you said before
@@anthi-mariakouvatsou8746 What is it that you don't understand, pertaining to what I wrote?
What does that mean though? What does it practically look like to know God like Jesus says? That’s where all the sermons seem to stop. That’s what I want to know.
Tradução 🤔🤔
Woah.... this guy is still alive?
I learned that either
1.God doesn't exist,
2. God does exist, but he is not perfectly loving.
3. God does exist, he is perfectly loving, but he is incapable of following through on his promise of a relationship for the asking.
4. God does exist, he is perfectly loving, he is capable of following through with a promise of a relationship, but has decided to wait (for some unknown reason) until later to actually be faithful.
I have learned that in all these scenarios, its not my problem.
MegaMiir let me use economics (i know right? Interesting!) to show you how God makes his decisions.
If you know economics
Consumers must have BOTH the willingness and ability to buy a good.
Likewise, God must have the WILLINGNESS and ABILITY to be Omni- everything, omni potent, omnibenevolent, onnipresent, omniwhatever.
God 100% has the ability to be omni-anything.
But does he have the willingness to do so?
God has a will. And so at times he will choose to not use all his power.
God has to find the best ways to maximise the welfare of society.
After literally considering an infinite amount of externalities, God comes to the conclusion to run the universe that we are in.
Asking whether God is able create a rock he cant lift is as good as asking whether einstein is able do simple math.
Sometimes questions can be utterly stupid.
@@darkdrift0r124
God exists within a category of entities that because there are not logically impossible are technically possible.
Other inhabitants of this category are dragons that breathe fire and sit on piles of gold, and elves that can pass through walls, and turn invisible at will.
We dismiss these dragons and elves, as well as other fantasy creatures, by looking for them and not finding them.
I have not found a single reason why God should not be treated in the same manner.
If the God you talking about actually does anything in the physical world, if falls within the realm of scientific scrutiny.
If the God you are describing does nothing in the physical world, why should i care how you define him?
Jesus jesus jesus christ 😄
Why do we say his name when we are shocked.
I know some people who love the preachers who shout but is not for me
Come on people... Read yourself... TODAYs GOSPEL... Roman thru Philemon ... Understand
None of this even makes sense. How did Jesus “show up” ???
Amazing orator this man is, truly a gift from God ,but yet this same man, Mr Piper will tell you that God does NOT love all, only those that were elect before the foundation of the world. The worst confusion that there is, is pious confusion. They are neutered Christians, removing fath and belief from the Gospel through Augustinian philosophy. Please hear me, their confusion doesn't hurt themselves, it hurts the struggling christian or unbeliever trying to understand the Gospel, if you are suffering through a habit, an addiction, a sin...whatever it is that you've tried to stop or get free from and you've failed over and over, I beg of you not to give up and fall for the lies of these charlatans that preach a Gospel for only the elect. The fact that you have struggled and failed many times does not mean that you are not chosen or not one of the elect, or that you were created as a vessel of wrath before the beginning of time, these are lies from the enemy, you can have true freedom through Christ, He truly does love you, and let me let you in on a truth, the ones that our Lord elects, chooses and calls, are those that come to the foot of the cross in humility and humbleness of heart, repent and leave the struggle there my friend, at His feet and believe that the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's can deliver you, and you will be saved, delivered and set free, see yourself clean and BE CLEAN through the power of HIS resurrection and the power of the Holy Spirit !!!🙏
God favors people who do bad. If you feel God doesn't love you then try doing evil and see how his love grows for you. See how easily you start to get things done. When doing good didn't get you the love of God doing evil definitely will. Jesus said so himself "I'm here for the sinners". Do evil and do what ever you want for you to get a better life. Lie, Cheat, commit adultery and steal for your own benefit without any feeling of guilt. Achieve your dream here while you are still alive. Look at all the people in history who were considered as Evil. Everyone had a great life till the very last day they lived. Most probably died in an instant. Now look at everyone in history who has done good and see how their lives have been. Connect the dots, Read the Bible carefully and connect these dots. Don't be fooled. Have a goal and do what ever it takes to achieve it, That your purpose in this life. Sin as much as you want cause in the end it will all be forgiven.
Please study your bible well, people go to hell my friend. The unrighteous will not inherit heaven 1 cor 6 vs 9

Stay off the red bull ...
All you doing is showing that the bible god is selfish and and thinks if himself
