  • Frustrations in life are normal, but for a Christian, they are a sign of split devotion. Every dissatisfaction if life is a sign we are seeking satisfaction from an insufficient source.

    I used to be upset that i was born unattractive. Now, i see there are more important things to worry about, like spreading the Word of God and live for Jesus.

    • @rosemaryjoubert837
      @rosemaryjoubert837 Місяць тому

      HI Bruce i was interested in what you said here ,"It is so difficult sometimes to accept that God loves me" lets look at the Bibles view on that, 2 Timothy 3:16 says " all scripture is inspired by God"
      so Lets start with a question: Does God really care about us?
      We live in a world full of cruelty and injustice. Many religions teach that the sufferings we experience are Gods will.
      WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES: God never causes what is wicked, It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, For the Almighty to do wrong says: Job 34:10 . God has a loving purpose for for humans, That is why Jesus taught us to pray; " Our father in the heavens, let your kingdom come let your will be done as in the heavens also on earth " Matthew 6 : 9,10
      God cares so deeply about us that he has gone through great lengths to make the fulfilment of his purpose a certainty - by allowing his son to die for us John 3:16
      so never doubt Gods love, by finding it difficult to accept god loves u and taken note of all the good you have done! would u like to learn more free of charge?

      Such a command differs in nothing from the very first demand of every, narcissistic, sociopath; control freak, pimp, cult leader. So, if your daughter would come home with such a boyfriend I really would like to be a fly to measure your appreciation and approval of her choice. And yet, that’s exactly what Jesus said and he included wife and children in his sickening desire.

      HI Walter i agree with you , referring religion to a drug, and there are many religions out there all man made, the blind leading the blind . so i am going to ask you the following question and don't think about religion ok
      HOW DO YOU VIEW THE BIBLE:
      Would you say it is
      1, a book of human wisdom ? 2. a book of myths and legends ? 3. the word of God?
      What the Bible says: " All scripture is inspired by God
      What can that mean for you
      Satisfying answers to life's big questions - Proverbs 2; 1-5
      Reliable guidance for day to day living - Psalm 119 :105
      real hope for the future - Romans 15: 4
      CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
      YES , for all three reasons 1. Amazing harmony 2. Honest History 3.reliable prophecy
      if people followed and taught Bible principles , and not their own teachings things would be a way lot better in this world today
      if u would like to know more or study the bible for free, please feel free to visit www.jworg website take care

Adonai Yeshua is haMashiach and we WILL endure to the end and be saved. Glory to His Name!!! Pain is not worthy to compare with His Glory!!!!!!!!! For, I have been crucified with Mashiach, nevertheless I live. Yet not I, but Mashiach lives in me. Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.

    WOW. Ok. At the beginning, I think it's worth to mention, I DO NOT mean to offend believers (in any way).
    So, where to begin... This video may be over 4 years old, but it's still the same nonsense. Do you REALLY believe that? That seeking attention by improving your skills, broadening your knowledge, making human friends and doing something valuable for the world is somewhat "bad" or "sinful"? It is HUMAN to do so and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
    Or maybe I just don't understand the course of thought behind it.
    Please. I really want to discuss this topic.
