    I was born again in august this year after being atheist for so many years. God opened my eyes and relationship with Jesus is the most rewarding thing that has ever happened to me!! 🤍🤍 God is so so so gracious! But it's also shocking, I was clueless about Christianity and denominations before and I had no idea what was going on. Now that God graciously reveals to me the level of deception, false prophets, false doctrines.. it's so sad and we need to pray for those people. I can't imagine my life without Jesus and I wish that for everybody. God bless you!!

      Fact is ''and an independent fundamental baptist pastor of 11 years speaking here who went to a baptist university to become a pastor & was in an IFB church all my life before that,'' fact is the bible is false as hell all the way through, fact. There are over 800 solid concrete contradictions ''yes solidly concretely fact,'' take for example & I'll name just 1 for brevity's sake, how god says he won't punish the children for the parents sins, but later turns around & says he will to the 3rd & 4th generations. It also gets endless scientific, astronomy, biological, etc, things wrong that we know for fact to be factually wrong. If god wrote the bible he's utterly dumb & hasn't an utter clue whats he's talking about at all. And if there is a god he's the most evil being in existence, a liar, the cause of all evil & loves it. Everyone would do themselves the biggest favor to watch The Lord Who Lies on AronRa channel. And also watch all the great factual very informative videos on channels like Darkmatter2525 & The Atheist Experience & break away from this truly worst of damaging in every way teaching called the bible & the utter bs & worst of damaging in every way bs & evil in it & this worst of damaging thing called christianity. Bart Ehrman is another really excellent one to watch ''as the matter of fact there's also a good one on AronRa channel where Bart is interviewed by AronRa with the title Will you be left behind'' Bart has more degrees & licensing than just about anyone in everything concerning the bible ''there's only 2 other people that has as many as him on this planet.'' They really know the truth and facts about everything and how the bible is really truly solidly for fact FALSE! And Harmonic Atheist is another beyond great channel, endless ex theologians, pastors, Masters of Divinity, apologists, you name it, showing how the bible is absolutely false to the core. What you are seeing here in this video is the damage it has caused this man, psychiatrists know for fact now it literally turns people into sociopaths & that churches are filled with them ''especially the pastors'' & that churches are breeding grounds for narcissists, sociopaths, & psychopaths. I highly suggest you watch the ones I've listed because it all for solid fact is false and that is indisputable & not even debatable at all, that's solid & concrete! And do you even realize how ridiculous what youre saying is ''gods inviting you'' ''god wants a relationship with you'' ''god is speaking to you'' no hes not, he never speaks audibly to anyone, hes the hide and seek champion of the universe! If I say I love you and want a relationship with you, then disappear never to be seen or heard from again and you your whole life is saying this man loves me I have a relationship with him ''and youre constantly making things up in your head your whole life of things you think Im saying to you or telling you to do or that I want while Ive been gone 39 years/havent seen or spoken to you that whole time'' is exactly what christians do, but whats worse you never even met this dude and youre doing that, its truly like christians dont or cant even think about what the hell theyre doing! God has never spoken to anyone, its all in your head I can say that with all certainty and fact. And if god wants a relationship so bad he better come have one and quit being invisible. Fact is you cannot have a relationship with someone who for fact is never here, thats a fact and its ok to not have something/a relationship with someone who is truly not there. Dont believe me, turn to your right, or left, or just look straight forward and say hi jesus, hi god, I love you, how are you? Nothing! You cant have a relationship with something/someone who is literally not there. You can pretend you do and its no different than having an imaginary friend and sitting in a room carrying on a conversation with an imaginary friend who isnt there. And actually for any adult that translates to lunacy and crazy. Ever notice how god never speaks for himself, the almighty all powerful and its so important he has a relationship with you because he loves you so much he doesnt want you going to hell supposedly, but ever notice how he doesnt speak for himself ever, never, but how its always someone else speaking for him saying tinkerbell is real! Wake up and realize how asinine and false it all really is. And the fact god bases you being thrown in the oven forever to be tortured the literal worst torment in every way never ending forever based on if you believe is just asinine and evil. So is an infinite worst of punishment forever based on lets say you live only 18 years and did 18 years of sin. Just like god going to do that to say sociopaths and psychopaths and the horrible things they do to people for the way he/god made them, they had no control over that/how they was born, but god did and made them that way and will punish them forever for how he made them. My god this isnt even the tip of the iceberg with everything and not even scratching the surface. God is a psychopath and the most evil being in existence and Im sure Todd here knows all of this but will perform a show to make massive massive bank and keep it going and is quite sociopathic himself for doing so and peddling whay he knows is false just to make massive bank! Now lets all go read Peter Pan and try not to believe its real!

    The enemy has been using this passage against me telling me that I’ll never make it into heaven, that my parents who are believers who raised me up on true scripture won’t be in heaven. Attacking me is one thing, but attacking my family… let’s just say that was a painful battle to go through. This morning I kept praying and for some reason a command came out of my mouth for Satan to flee. The Holy Spirit took over. I felt at peace after that and could enjoy my Saturday. Then I saw this video. Thank you so much for posting this so that God can help people like me. It’s a tough walk, a tough fight, but I am not alone for I have Him. God bless you.

      one of the devil's favorite tricks is using God's word itself to lie to us by twisting it. He even tried that with Jesus himself when he tried to tempt him. I still struggle with this myself at times. Remember that God does not condemn, but thats what the devil would want you to think so you stay scared! God does not give us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind(2 Timothy 1:7). God wants us to walk in power and authority and with love. So anything else that makes you feel otherwise is a lie!

      I’m right there with you! I’ve been fighting those thoughts since 2021. First I’ll be accused. Then I start looking at others and, by that judgement, they won’t make it either. Then it gets so bad I look at scriptures like “few there be that find it…” and think that no one I know is going to make it. It creates a terrible thought spiral and makes everything feel hopeless. It’s like a living hell. I don’t even realize the blatant flaws in the thinking until God gives me realization. That God does not give us a spirit of fear but of a sound mind, Jesus did not come to condemn the world but through him save it, that God is love. And love is kind, patient, long suffering, hopeful, etc. it’s really important to remember God’s character. *I’m speaking to myself too

      Our Lord founded Only One Church on the Apostles (Matt 16:18-19, Rev 21:14) and sent them to teach people to OBSERVE ALL HE COMMANDED for salvation of souls until the end of the world (Matt 28:19-20), saying "Whoever believes you and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe will be condemned (Mark 16:16)." And Our Lord also said, "Whoever listens to you listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me and rejects the ONE Who sent Me (Luke 10:16)." To be saved, one MUST come to Our Lord's Only Fold (John 10:16), His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church. Our Lord knows sheep in His Fold and saves them (John 10:3, 27-28). To be known by Him, one MUST come to His Church and be baptized by receiving the Sacrament of Baptism administered by His Church, as done by the Apostles on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:41, 47). Otherwise those, who think they believe in Christ and follow Him, will hear "I NEVER knew you. Depart from Me you evil doers (Matt 7:21-23)."

    I attended a bible study last week where we learned about changing the condition of our hearts. At some point a lifelong believer brought up this verse and that it makes her very nervous. What if this will happen to her? The fact that she is worried about this shows that she shouldn't worry, but it did reveal something about the measure of which she trusts in God and His promises, right? She is probably considering all those times where she wasn't as loving as she could be, or became agitated with someone, instead of putting her faith and trust in Jesus and resting in His finished work. A lot of Christians struggle with this: "How could God ever love ME?", more than we think and we need to eradicate this doubt from the church. That's why this is an important teaching. I like the way you cross-referenced the verses about the will of the Father, etc. Thanks for the vid! :)

      He's wrong. Im a former eternal security believer 20+ years it's a bad doctrine. God had to pull me out of this Doctrine Supernaturally because I fell for it hook line and sinker. Which is a crazy story of mine. This guy doesn't know what he's reading......he doesn't know his Bible he is indoctrinated like i was. The quickest and easiest way to understand this passage is add the word "TOO" You can also see this with Repentance when some gospels and Epistles add it for SALVATION and others OMIT it. I can even go way further into this........but that's the quickest way. You can do your own study on that.

      If you are looking to some random youtube video to reassure you of your salvation, that's scary... NO ONE except God's word, can and should do this... according to I John, there are a lot of people who quite honestly, SHOULD be worried about their salvation!
      I. The Test of Your LIFE (holiness and obedience)
      This is one of THE most important tests: your LIFE! And John says this repeatedly throughout this book:
      - I John 1:6-7, “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

At 70 it took me years to get past some of my sin and I believe In finally did because I made a deal with myself to sin if I must but never ever convince myself the sin is ok. Once we do so there is no incentive to stop be ause in our mind there is no sin. I only mention it because I'm afraid there are plenty out there who delude themselves in that way.

    You are certainly correct and it is so easy to decieve ourselves into thinking we believe in the Jesus spoken of in the Bible.
    "These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
    And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me,
    Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
    False teachers lead not just themselves astray but others too:
    "But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
    1 John 2 is the test, it tells us how to know that our faith in Jesus is genuine, because the time has come where we worship in Spirit and in Truth:
    "Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked."

Worrying constantly that I'm evil, because I see my heart also sometimes have resentment and envy. That maybe it's why God keeps me away from church, to protect them from me.
      My only hope is Christ, the only hope is this faith that seems to come from somewhere else that was given to me is real and is what saves this broken mind and body. Decades ago it seemed like God was reaching down when I was an autistic child stuck in my own mind and brought me close to Him.

      3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
      4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
      5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
      6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
      7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
      8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
      Do you trust in Jesus' finished work and place none in yourself? Then you are saved no matter what. How can sin condemn us when we have his promise that he will not impute sin to us? And why won't he? Because of Jesus, because our faith is in our savior, not ourselves. Notice what they boast of in the passage talked about in the video. Do they tell Jesus 'did we not believe in you?' No, they list all their works, boasting before the Lord as if they are righteous and deserve to enter Heaven.

      Interesting. That’s a conclusion i came to too before (though I’m still thinking about it)- that they simply just lied about doing those things because the fact casting out demons is included in that list and because what is said about the casting out of demons in other scriptures.
      Jesus told the disciples not to rejoice that the spirits submit to them but that their names are written in heaven. He also said not to forbid those who John saw casting out demons in Jesus name that didn’t follow them and that no one who works a miracle in His name can soon afterward speak evil of Him and that he who is not against them is on their side. The working of miracles is by the Holy Spirit as Galatians 3:5 gets at. Jesus also asked how can Satan cast out Satan. And the scripture that sums up the point I’m trying to make is that Jesus also said the casting out of demons is a sign that will follow believers. When you believe you come to know Jesus and He knows you. So how could Jesus say that he never knew somebody who performed a sign that follows believers?
      Now if casting out demons was not included in this list I would conclude differently because I know that prophecy isn’t necessarily a sign that someone is of God, as God spoke through Balaam yet he was not of God.

      Yeah. Workers of lawlessness are what? They are unforgiven people. Not under faith in Jesus Christ. They are under a false gospel of works, trying to earn their salvation and pointing at themselves as their own saviour. Pride comes before the fall.
      Also who are the workers of lawlessness? What fulfills the law? Love. 1 Corinthians 13. Love the Lord. Love others.
      People are after money, fame and power nowadays. Manifests sons of God, Christian science, Dominionism, The secret rapture, and other false teachings rule the scene today. People dont want to spend time with God. People dont want the pure word. People dont want his heart. Most people dont want to love like Christ, because love hurts. But love is what also wins! Love will prevail. I can only hope that people will realise this, will get out of false churches and ideologies to follow Christ. Most sadly will not. Most will live their lives for themselves, for money fame power women control etc.

      "That we love Him", not, "that we're saved". It's possible for a child or spouse to not experience love in their relationship, but still be in it. Love comes as we spend time with Him because it's impossible not to love Him when you know Him. 1 John 5:13 "I write to you who BELIEVE (trust) on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life." The overriding theme of 1 John is fellowship with Jesus.

      Hell is not ceasing to be. It is to exist without God inside you in your heart and mind, in your soul and body.
      The demons dont know God they are not in their final dwelling but they are in hell already (some are in whats called the abyss where outer darkness is, because they abandoned their positions "to chase strange flesh").
      People in Hell will exist, why would God make us and give us a choice between him or ourselves, hell is hell because we choose ourselves and we were made in such a way that everything we need and want (in our hearts) is in God and his ways.
      One scripture describes both people in heaven and hell being eternal and existing in their permenant states. That those in heaven would worship and praise God and those in hell will be tormented and in anguish FOREVER. The verse claims both heaven and hell are eternal and the people present by connecting them both with a single mention of "forever" (This means if people in hell end up ceasing to exist so do people in heaven. Because Jesus gave us his nature and He is eternal because He is God the Son we will exist forever with eternal life.).

    • @Vezvein

      Hell is a place of death where you’re burning and screaming whilst worms are crawling under your skin. God’s judgment is literal not metaphorical. God is life; those separate from God receive death. But the catch is you don’t die but you wish you could if you’re in hell.

    • @joelsantos456
      @joelsantos456 Місяць тому

      There's basic 3 main views abouth what happens after death and Judgement by God.
      1 - Eternal Conscious Torment
      2 - Definitive Annihilation
      3 - Universalism
      Personally, i have struggled a lot with the possibility of eternal punishment and after praying to God for guidance to show me the truth about this, i found articles and ocumentaries here on youtube about these 3 views and the one that is more logical to me and many people is the definitive annihilation.
      Basically:
      Judgement >>> Lake of Fire >>> Death through burning >>> Extinction (Cease to be) For ever >>> No torture just burning
      I might be wrong, but I honestly don't think so. The Bible speaks of Hell and Hades being thrown into the lake of fire.
      Eternal Punishment is more of a pagan concept infiltrating Christianity, not Christian.
      Anyway, do not follow me as i am no prophet nor saint, i am just trying to point 3 possible ways and the one that makes more sense to me.
      Always ask for discernment from God through the Holy Spirit and/or signs.
      God bless you all and all the ones you love.

    Most false prophets don't realize they're false. They think they do know God, or they wouldn't expect to enter the kingdom. James 1:22 says that if you don't obey the truth, you deceive yourself and others. We must always abide in Christ and obey Him as Jesus tells us in John 14. Many, many people believe they're Christians but do not walk in obedience. That is James 1:22, which indicates they are deceiving themselves and others. Thus, the passage you're referring to does not refer to non-believers. It is referring to those who believed at one time but lived a life of lawlessness. Jesus says, "I never knew you, you workers of lawlessness". Lawlessness computes to unbelief because the lawless believer demonstrates they don't believe God's words of living a life abiding in Christ and obeying Him, Titus 1:16. The passage in Matthew 7 is there to cause us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, understanding with sobriety how to walk. Jesus tells it, to warn us, because He loves us.

    • @myflourishingfam
      @myflourishingfam  Місяць тому +1

      Many false believers expect they're saved, and many false ones will try to trick Jesus. However notice that Jesus tells them to depart (cast away). He promised to NEVER cast away anyone who comes to Him (John 6:37) and God will never forsake His children (Heb 13:5, Josh 1:5, 1 Chron 28:20). If we (as believers) believe not/are faithless, HE remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself (2 Tim 2:13). A child who rebels, disobeys, etc is still your child, but there are natural consequences, loss of rewards, punishment, etc.

    • @TracyGrace555
      @TracyGrace555 Місяць тому +1

      @myflourishingfam The warning from our loving Jesus is to make sure you are sincere and love Him by obeying Him. We show our love to Him by obeying His commands. He calls the ones who are lawless, the ones He doesn't know. Many, many believers do not realize this, which is why our loving Christ warns us.

      @myflourishingfam  Місяць тому +2

      Repentance means a changed heart, and the repentance needed for salvation is turning from the sin of unbelief. Turning from all other sins is important but it's a work (Jonah 3:10), and we aren't saved by works (Eph 2:8-9). Acts 16:30-31, what must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
      Believers will never be cast away (told to depart), John 6:37. God never forsakes His children (Heb 13:5, Josh 1:5, 1 Chron 28:20).
      To think a believer cannot sin, read 1 Cor 1-15. Sin is not without consequence. Punishment, loss of reards, natural consequences, ruined testimony, pulling down other believers, etc.
      Those born of God cannot sin (1 John 3:9) because we have a new heart that is righteous (Ek 36:26), which cannot sin. We are regenerated by the Holy Spirit at the point of saving faith (Titus 3:5) and are dual natured. We have a new, regenerated spirit but still the old flesh until we get our new bodies. Sin is still in the flesh and when we sin it's coming from the flesh and an unrenewed mind (EPh 4:22-24, Rom 12:2). That's why Paul says repeatedly in Rom 7 that when he sins, it's not him that sins (in his spirit) but the sin within him (his flesh).
      "Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Rom 7:17 "Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Rom 7:20

Most people either dont acknowledge the "only the one who does the will of my Father" part, or if they do they dont pull up the will of the Father as stated in John and instead use the will of the Father as some blanket term thats completely ambiguous and vague. So thus far you have my respect, but im only half way in so who knows you might backload. Lol I'll edit when i finish this.
    Update: i finished and im glad there wasn't any subtle backloading terms. Respect to you for clarifying to those who dont know how to discern. I'll sub and check out other videos

    Thank you for this, and this is confirmation of what the Lord has revealed to me concerning this verse is speaking to those who are not saved and are under the law. Very frightening indeed.

    Hearing God’s truth is like being granted the ability to see through walls, it was as if everything people ever said to me was a lie

      Repent of your sin constantly! Don’t sin lest your lamp be low on oil upon His return! Read about the 10 Christian virgins in Matthew!
