- Paul, in Athens, preaches from Mars’ Hill about the unknown god. He says, We are the offspring of God.
Acts 17:16-34
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

This video is a great reminder that we are all children of God and we are all brothers and sisters.
I am not into Christianity but hats off to Mormon channel , whenever I watch these videos I don't know why my eyes fills with tears don't know why
Is the Spirit of God
You, dear Chetan, are a son of God and can recognize His still, small voice. Feelings are His language and they do fill the soul to overflowing. Good for you. I too, love these Bible videos.
You're a great spirit
It is the Holy Spirit bearing record to your spirit, spirit to spirit that it is true
Son, I think that’s the lord convicting your heart and your heart wanting something to fill it, that only god has. Don’t ignore it embrace it and call out to the lord and he will answer.
Many find it odd we have so many epistles of Paul in The Holy Bible, but I am grateful. It shows us his conversion was deep and total. I love him and grateful I was a missionary so I could know what it was and is like to step in the shoes of the Apostles declaring the good news of Christ. Granted I do not have the authority of an apostle. But I had the authority and power to preach the Gospel. That all may have the same peace and joy I have as a member of Christ's restored church.
thank you for your testmony! the more i learn, the stronger my faith is
Do u preach Faith alone.
Lile paul?
Just asking
he, Paul, was a learned person, and he counted it all loss, to gain...
This is one of my most favorites of sermons in the Bible. In just a few words it is filled with doctrines such as pre-existence of mankind, that we are all brothers and sisters, regardless of race distinction - the children of God. God is above all, but yet is to be known and understood. Beautifully done! Thanks,
ddd :O)
My favourite to >> Acts 17-23 "For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you."
Wonderful to know that with all the knowledge of the Greek pantheon - like Zeus, Hera, and the endless list of deities that describe God / θεός and how in truth God powers the galaxies stars and planets, is but yet complete ignorance to actually knowing God the Father. As Paul says in Corinthians, you can have all knowledge, knowing all mysteries - but have not Love, you are nothing.
The only way to truly know God the Father, is to know and understand the way of his only begotten son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Its a wonderful gift to understand.
AMEN that is so true GOD bless you.
Beautifully said.
He doesn't literally mean the offspring of God like sexually born spirit children, he means that Adam was created by God and that God is as a father to Adam as he created him in his own image, and we being the children of Adam, are the children of God, btw God is the only God to ever exist, there was none before him nor bone made after him, Jesus Christ is God and is not Lucifer's brother, we cannot become God's, and Mormonism is false, just read the Bible on a non biased attitude and you will see that Joseph Smith was a false prophet
@@charliewebb4330 your actually right, God bless
I like the depiction of Paul.
This proves that we are all one with God as God because we are of he's offspring.
Powerful sermon!
Feel after the Lord
For in Him we live
We, His offspring
Hope in all things
Articles of Faith 13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
Great video! And I think the actor is great!

Praise God let us meet all brothers and sisters in Christ in the Amighty Love of Our Lord and Savior with a Holy kiss love ye one another
Praise God for all of His people world wide for Jesus will have more souls than the devil the stones will cry out the stoney harder people who refuse to cry out to God for every knee shall bow and every tougues.shall confess that Jesus is Lord
We can see on this scriptures the Plan of God is declared openly and we can see that few people can understand.

Can you feel the season of the end times in this wicked world we are living in.
People have been saying that for the past two milenia.
That was amazing. It was like the purest poetry, but filled with spirituality and beauty. I'm amazed.
Our body is the dwelling Temple of The Holy Spirit of God in which he dwells through the saving blood of only begotten Son of many sons and daughter that received the ROYAL BLOOD through FAITH in him and from grace to grace and constant pruning away of our old being in him now we live and move and have our BEING 🙏🕯️🌹
In Him we live and move and have our being. God has His being in no one but Himself. Our being is in Him, He is in Himself. There is no other God besides the only living and true God.
I love you Jesus 👏👏💒⛪💒💒💒⛪⛪💒 so much 💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Think of the weight of those words. Amazing! 💕
I'm glad the church was able to get Morgan Freeman to narrate! ☺
That's not Morgan Freeman.
Russ Tanner hahaha!
Russ Tanner lol
Much nicer voice
God is always Good Amen🙏😇❤
"WE ARE LITERAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF HEAVENLY PARENTS"
PARENTS THATS POLYTHEISM SMH
I'm really tired of fighting the bad. I just want to be happy. I want my soul to be cleaned and the bad to be gone, I want to feel happy and pure again. Please, Jesus, save me! I've been suffering for so long! I'm exhausted and sad, and mad. Get me out of this hell! Please, I beg! I have no energy left

@@churchofjesuschrist thank you so much! 🙏
I'm so thankful that you're replying to a lot of my comments! God bless you! 💕
Dalma Szabo Christ be with you friend. i’ll pray for you✝️❤️
We are all the offspring of God, and also heirs of God, and through our faithfulness, future joint heirs with Jesus Christ! What powerful truths Paul taught about our eternal purpose, and our potential future destiny to become like God! It's all made possible because of the gracious act of Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice, and resurrection, that we can access through our faith.
i love You God and Jesus! Amen
wow i love these videos :0)
kevin stanley yes much time and work goes into them
Assure in Jesus Christ....
We are the children of God we carried the honor of his name on our shoulders as our fathers did before us
Jesus is Lord 💗❤️❤️🙏
God bless! Amen!
I will live to praise you forever Lord 📖📖📖📖
I love you Jesus Christ
I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior
Yes the unknown god has a personal name, yes his name is JEHOVAH.
Psalms 83:18
Not to the Greeks Paul is talking to, God is "θεός". And is unknown to them because they do not know the WAY of his only begotten son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Paul specifically is talking to the Greeks, with the Greek deities and understanding like Zeus and Hera - when he says to them regarding their pantheon of deities "him I declare unto you".
I love all these videos ♥️
Thank you.
Amén Dios Es Grande Y Poderoso Dios Bendiciones Bendiciones.
God is coming soon, be ready, stay safe, and God bless you❤️🥰
I love you Jesus my saviour
I love you Jesus
I love you Jesus christ ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

Great video! Is it just me or did the narrator sound like Morgan Freeman?
If you’re reading my comment then it’s a sign from god and that he loves you.
God bless y’all

1 Timothy 4:10
ÁMEN!
Does anyone know where this was filmed? I have been to mars hill dozens of times and it doesn't seem to be there.
The actor for Paul was a tad melodramatic imo. Nevertheless, still high quality. (It's interesting having a narrator.)
sotrh Have you read Paul? He comes across as very melodramatic in his writings. To me at least.
Can someone share full name of the Movie or Full Movie Video link
I'd like to read this... where do I find it in the bible?
Acts 17:16-34
Pienso en el genero humano,,
16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw everywhere in the city. 17He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there.
18He also had a debate with some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. When he told them about Jesus and his resurrection, they said, “What’s this babbler trying to say with these strange ideas he’s picked up?” Others said, “He seems to be preaching about some foreign gods.”
19Then they took him to the high council of the city.d “Come and tell us about this new teaching,” they said. 20“You are saying some rather strange things, and we want to know what it’s all about.” 21(It should be explained that all the Athenians as well as the foreigners in Athens seemed to spend all their time discussing the latest ideas.)
22So Paul, standing before the council,e addressed them as follows: “Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious in every way, 23for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about.
24“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25and human hands can’t serve his needs-for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. 26From one manf he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.
27“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him-though he is not far from any one of us. 28For in him we live and move and exist. As some of yourg own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ 29And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.
30“God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. 31For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”
32When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection of the dead, some laughed in contempt, but others said, “We want to hear more about this later.” 33That ended Paul’s discussion with them, 34but some joined him and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the council,h a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Searching for knowledge
Not a very persuasive performance by the actor playing Paul. His voice sounds too modern, somehow.
In this regard, the actors playing Christ and Peter and several of the other apostles in these Bible Videos sound a little more timeless (perhaps it's the trace of an accent that they possess).
Gorgeously filmed, though -- the setting really does resemble Greece -- and the other actors apart from Paul himself are quite convincing.
jetuber Paul probably sounded very modern to the people to whom he spoke.
Glory be to God almighty the alpha and omega creator of heaven and earth your only begotten son jesus christ is our lord and savior
God is a father
Man is a brother
Life is a mission
Paul's powerful witness to the Greeks of the true and living God that was met mostly with cynicism by the intellectual Greeks.
Paul is one of disciples ho believe deeply because he was persecute Christian but lord go to Paul ask why you persecute me .
Psalms 82:6 and John 10:34 Jesus said.... "Ye are gods" 🙏
Jesus the crucified is my lord of lord is light from darkp
Jesus is the light from the darkness is ALFA and OMEGA AMEN.
මට සමාවෙන්න දෙවි පියාණනි මට ඔබ වහන්සෙට හරියට වදින්න බැරිවුනා තාත්තා මට සමව දෙනවා නෙද (අාමෙන්)
Empty philosophies are to speculation as to the word of God revelation.
You may want to check your chronological order at 89 and 90. : ) Paul didn't teach of Jesus until after his conversion.
okay so they believed after his talk that god is the father and he raise a man from the dead to reconcile humanity with the father ,I DONT SEE mentioned Jesus is god to them so they just believe god is the father & Jesus mere man risen , so according to the trinity they are in hell
"Ofspring" means of the same kind. So when a person accepts Jesus as his Savior, he adopted as ckearly stated in Holy Scripture. He does NOT become divine as the heretical sects claim. The saved child of God remains "a little lower than an angel. But without salvation, this truth will remain hidden.
Mormons are decent folks, but sadly are led astray by Satan into believing they will become equal to Christ, Whom the apostle conveyed will have "all" authority...without equal.
Jesus warned that many false teachers would deceive many in the latter days.
Christianity is a lie
This is a terrible message
Amen
