      People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

      @@user-ds4gp8dr2q In the context of this video, he explained earlier that a consistent way to describe a "simple object" is an action or performance of more fundamental "stuff" so he claims that death and scattering are a continuation of the performance that is "Michael-ing" while this is plausible under his reasoning, it doesn't directly follow from it. Under his reasoning, it would also be valid to say that death is when his body stops "Michael-ing" and scattering is a process done to a body that was "Michael-ing"
