      I have been trying my hardest not working to be a better friend and have to work on my behalf to be with my parents as I can see that I can have more time for them on Friday as I will have more to do with them then if you need any more information then please feel no worries if I can't make them up too hard enough but if I have a better understanding than I am going through all of that in need to get an early appointment to work in a few hours for you on Friday and the rest I have attached a couple more days of work on your end for your convenience so I know how it goes and what else you need for your business so that I may get an alternative for your work experience or if we have a lot we would need a bit of time for it and the first one we are looking to do at a reasonable level of service is likely required by us and I can do it in person at a time to help me get to work and to be a better

      Hi, Im sorry to hear about your struggle :( Katja writing - I know what it is like to suffer from sickness and wonder why God has not answered the prayers for healing and battle all those questions thy comes with it! We actually made a video about it ”Why has God not healed me after 13 years?” ua-cam.com/video/TmqNAfpI-cw/v-deo.html
      It is so so crucial to really understans that it has nothing to do with that God would not love us, that He does not want to answer etc. He does love us highly, and sometimes it can be precisley because He loves us that He does not answer in the way we think right now that we would want Him to answer (but one day we will understand) - He sees the bigger picture. And He loves you very much! Please watch the video, I pray that it will give you some relief and also pray for spiritual, mental and physical healing for you in Gods perfect timing. With love, Katja

    God has absolutely led me to your channel. This is the 4th video of yours that I've watched, back to back lol I can't possibly explain how much finding your channel has been a blessing for me and I know, for my family too. So, I'll just say, thank you. Also, I'll share what my 11 year old asked his father and I before bed tonight. He was still relaxing, so not just trying to extend his time at bedtime lol, but giving up some of his own special time for seeking this out. He asks, at the foot of our bed, with a gleam in his eyes... "This might sound stupid or weird, I don't know, but, has anyone ever wondered who created God?" Woah 😳 LOL!!! I can't tell you how proud I was and am. Questions prove that he's really contemplating the things of God. His Father and I assured him that is a great question and not weird at all. However, we couldn't get a full understanding of the existence of God in our current state. Even if we sit and think, talk and brainstorm together, resolved to figure it out no matter how long it takes, we'd still never get the answer. We'd never be able to comprehend it- existence outside of time and space- always having been... That's where our faith is required. Some things we can only just believe, for now, but never fully understand in this sin infected world, in this flesh. We will understand, one day, probably. That one day we will be given new bodies and names and be returned to the state He originally created us in. That we would maybe just know once we receive our new bodies, including new minds. Or, maybe we'll need to ask Him these questions we couldn't understand before, but we will be able to ask and He will love us and help us understand. His eyes just lit up and he took a breath. Came to me, gave me a hug and left our bedroom. I was left amazed and so grateful for his interest in learning more about God every day. Now, for my own great mystery... Why did God create a tree with fruit that could hurt us? Why not make sure nothing could hurt us? I know there's a good and loving answer and for now, my faith will suffice because His grace is sufficient. However, I ponder these mysteries myself. Never taking away from my adoration of our Father, but intensifying it and illuminating my interest and concern. PRAISE GOD! He is good and He loves us so much. Thank you again for your contributions to the church via your time and dedication in creating these videos to edify the body. I can't wait until I can show my husband. All my love and prayers 💙

      That is so humbling to read! God is so amazing, and I love how He always connects us with the right people. We are praying daily for God to send the right people to the videos, so they may be blessed and drawn closer to His truth. Wonderful question of your son. It is indeed priceless to see the honest interest in God!! 😍It's true that our finite minds cannot grasp the answer. Since everything we know has a beginning and end, it's hard to imagine God not having a beginning or end. But that's what the Word says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [a]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”" Revelation 22:13. In other words, He is all encompassing. Time exists in Him, not the other way around.

    "Thus says The Holy One, your Redeemer: Beloved, My treasure, My most beloved ones, here I am! Hear Me! I am poured out like wax before the fire; like a candle, I am dripping with tears! Yet you have not come to Me! My love was poured out, My spirit fell like rain upon the nations... Tears and great mourning... I poured Myself out to heal the nations! Blood and tears, pools of blood, the agony of My passion, My love put on open display!
    Yet who is healed in My love? Where is the harvest among the nations, according to the latter rain? It withers, blighted wheat waning in the heat of the noonday sun, planted in the hard and cracked ground, revealing the broken roots thereof; the rains have ceased and are withheld from the land, the hand of The Holy One removed.
    Captive children, held fast by the pride and arrogance of men whose hearts remain far from Me, shackled to a world of bitter enmity against God and His Messiah, refusing My Letters of Love, stopping your ears to My voice... Weeping and many tears... I had set you free! Behold, I have freely given! I have not ceased from calling to you through My spirit and by the pen of My prophets, yet you will not listen, nor will you give heed! Even you, O churches of men, will in no wise hear Me, nor are you able! - Arrogant assemblies! DEAF CHILDREN!
    Bitter children, amiss in your dealings with Me,
    I love you, yet you refuse Me still
    In favor of your own way!...
    Peoples of this world, and all pastors
    And teachers and leaders among men,
    You are forsaken, given up to the fire...
    The fires of My own correction,
    The harsh discipline of The Father,
    The day of refinement and tears.
    I love you, yet you have not known Me; neither do I see of Myself in you... Our hearts torn. For I see your hearts, beloved, I see and know. Behold, I have searched, and have not found even one tittle of that which is of Me! Cry out, therefore! Call out to your Savior! Call upon your Maker in My name! DIE TO YOURSELVES! Forsake this world and run to Me through the fire, and I shall abide with you in the heat of its burning, until that which must be done is finished and you emerge purified.
    Humble yourselves! Cast yourselves down! I am your Father! I LOVE YOU! Yet you have departed from Me, wasting your inheritance in a world of unbridled sin, a world which even now hates you, a world which you have loved more than Me, even yourselves!
    And so I have written to you page after page by the pen of My prophets, shouting to you by all manner of speaking and devices, calling to you across the ages, speaking to THIS generation with many tears and much sorrow, warning you of My wrath which must come and is now here and shall quickly overtake this world. And still you push out the hand! Do you not understand?! I have seen it; nothing escapes My eye!
    Churches of men, I have seen it! Modern Pharisees, you fight against Me! You fight against The God of your fathers, The One and Only True God! And whatsoever you do to even one of these I have sent to you, whether in word or by deed, you have done it to Me!... Yet I love you still... My heart is torn, a rent which widens, a rent which you have made! Why do you tear yourselves from Me?! For apart from Me, you can do nothing! Apart from Me is darkness, thick darkness and death!
    The time has passed, beloved ones; My bride is chosen and the first election is made; the bundles are prepared and set in their places. Therefore I tell you, when you look for Me in the Day, look no more to yourselves, nor in man-made churches; behold, they shall all be torn down! For in them I have not dwelled... I dwell in the hearts of men!
    And when darkness has fallen and your tears well up, a bitter rain brought forth from a heart severely broken, from a spirit crushed by the weight of realization, run and seek out My beacons, My witnesses. For they shall lead you through the fire, and I shall abide with you, accompanying you on your journey... A journey of service and great hardship, of many tears and great sorrows, suffering on every side; a journey of love and hope in the midst of great adversity, the end of which shall bring a great multitude into My love, with every servant washing the feet of his neighbor until death comes and sets you free; caught up into My love, healed in an instant, refashioned in glory, remade in My image, partaking of My life fully.
    For as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten,
    Bringing forth much thanksgiving
    To the praise of My glory...
    As it is written, so shall it be done...
    Therefore trust in My ways,
    For I am The King alone;
    Apart from Me, there is nothing at all."

    He is evil and wants us to suffer.
    He has some plan according to which the suffering somehow is in our best interest.

    Hi my brother. I hope you and your family are well and blessed.
    Thank you for sharing your video, however, it's wrong to say that GOD is madly in love with the sinner, that's not what the scriptures say. Remember, sin does not exist unless there is a person to sin as sin is to disobey GOD's Commandments / Law.
    For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
    Psalms 5:4‭-‬6 NKJV
    The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup.
    Psalms 11:5‭-‬6 NKJV
    These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
    Proverbs 6:16‭-‬19 NKJV
    The above scriptures contradict your statement that GOD is madly in love with sinners. Sorry my friend, but that is not biblical. The love of GOD is in JESUS CHRIST only, so if we do not keep His Commandments, we do not love Him and if we do not love JESUS, the love of the Father is not in us. See the following:
    Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
    I John 2:15 NKJV (See, if people choose the world over GOD then the love of the Father is not in them)
    But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
    Jude 1:20‭-‬21 NKJV (Why does Jude warn to stay on the Love of GOD if GOD loves everyone even if they are sinners until the day they die?)
    And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord , Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”
    Hebrews 12:5‭-‬6 NKJV (The LORD is only disciplining those He loves.
    Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    Romans 8:37‭-‬39 NKJV (See, the love of GOD is in JESUS CHRIST our LORD)
    He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
    John 14:21‭-‬23 NKJV (Here JESUS Himself makes a clear distinction, those who love Him by keeping His Commandments will be loved by His Father, so not everyone is loved by the Father as we know that most choose sin over the Beautiful Sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST.

The scriptures I quoted are all proof that GOD does not love sinners who do not accept JESUS as LORD and Saviour and do not change their sinful lifestyle.

      I agree that burning people forever has nothing to do with love. That's just punishment. However, the Bible teaches us about that God/love honors our free will. If people reject God, then it would not be love either for God to save them anyway, despite their own choice. Love never forces. Love honors the free will, and does not drag out the pain/suffering that decision would bring. Here's our blog post on the topic of hell, that I think you'll find interesting: thechristianlife.com/why-no-one-will-burn-in-hell-forever/
