I recently went on a trip to Uganda and while over there God really started to work in my heart. I realized how frivolous we American Christians can be sometimes about certain sins and behaviors. There is nothing wrong with concerning ourselves with discernment or wanting to have a good conscience about certain things, but I realized I usually concentrate on certain sins, in order to cover up the fact I neglect the weightier ones like Jesus talks about. The nonprofit I was with helped by asking for only a dollar a month (in hopes of getting many people to join and unify to the cause) to help give water, education, and micro finance to underprivileged people overseas. It was a beautiful thing to see how me just giving one dollar actually was paying for housing, food, clean water, and education in places like Uganda. To be honest I don't even realize when the $1.00 comes out of my account because it's so small. So my question to you is can we take an honest look at our life and ask whether or not we are living in simple obedience of Jesus' commands? We can be the hands and feet of Jesus and I now know from personal experience that preaching the gospel while also providing and serving the basic needs of others is one of the most joy filled lives we could have. A life lived for serving others, is a life not wasted.

I was raised Christian but honestly have not been to church, seeked out Jesus or tried to live as devoted Christian for the last 20 years... But this video literally brought me to tears... Thank you for posting it
same but you have no time...ask Jesus to get to know him..believe me he's worth it ❤
pmpsklz amen it is the power of God working through his servant
That’s God’s work ❤️❤️
Thank you Jeff
I want to be there for others AND love God, but my life is too occupied
Dude this word spoke to me... I always see this man with a missing hand standing by the station asking for money and I tend to give him a dollar when I can afford to because I still want to feed myself and have my own time but when I heard this word now I wanna give him more I wanna talk to him about Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross for us and I wanna tell him that every Sunday you can come to my church to find his love there. Thanks man
Your post is the best one I've seen in this thread. That's what it's all about, God bless.
TheLouconos Productions Good man! :)
Did you do it? I would like to hear how it turned out.
Says the guy who likes assassins creed....

Love walked into my life nearly 22 years ago and showed me "You are loved, it will all be ok". I am still with him to this day. Praise the Lord.
Chistantiy isn't religon it is truth
josh71111 NOT CHRISTIANITY. CHRISTIANITY means following Jesus, im sorry, but those religous people dont follow Jesus, they follow popes, images, and other things. Not Jesus. It will show when someone follows Jesus. Jesus is not religion, Jesus is truth, is love, is freedom.
Go Bless you,
+Sarai Molinar Not only are you brainwashed into believing in god but you are brainwashed to the point that you even deny that you are religious. Just because a guy makes a video on youtube with some music in the background and saying that Jesus isnt religion doesnt make it true.
Jesus is from the fairy tale book the bibel and the bibel is a religion called christianity. You can't take out a guy from the book and claim that he is not from that religion. God doesnt exist wake the fuck up. Stop believe in a bronsage fairytale.
+Sarai Molinar But the belief in Jesus is a religion, just like belief in hindu gods is a religion.
Jimi02468 Denotationwise, it is. Connotationwise to Christians, it's not
+isabella vaughn Christianity is a label used to gather a group of people and kill them.
Jesus Christ is the way to life. Not religion.
God gave this man open eyes & wisdom
He should open his eyes & read what the Bible says the unforgivable sin is. It's real & in the Word for a reason.
I praise GOD for the work and truth you speak!
I'm Atheist and I kind of agree with this video's message. Christians need to act more "Christ like". Less preachy more helpy
***** Well yeah, the philosophies of Jesus have relevance. Treat people well, don't judge, have empathy...etc. You don't need to believe Christ was Devine in order to agree with that. What would you rather I say, act like the Prophet Elisha in 2 Kings 2 : 23-25? Y'know...that beautiful nugget about the slaughtering of adolescents because they made fun of Elisha's bald head. Love that old testament savagery. :)
Dude, put your boxing gloves down. Lets end this and agree that we both like the philosophies of Jesus.
"Less preachy, more helpy" I think if God came back today, and he only wanted to say 4 words, that's probably what he would say lol.
***** What about all the times God directly orders Moses to slaughter by the hundreds of thousands and keep the young virgins as sex slaves? I'll find the verses if you want, God sure loves murder, slavery, and rape.
And even if God was just "allowing" it, how is that any less awful? If you see a man who's about to rape a murder a young woman, and you're considerably larger than him and you wield a knife and handcuffs but don't do anything. I would consider you a vile piece of garbage. And God does just that, hundreds of thousands of times per day.
Isaiah Phillip wants God to make a bunch of robots that will all be programmed to Love Him, with no free will.
Isaiah Phillip Wants God to allow the evil satanic murdering seed of satan, to survive, so they can continue doing what they have always done.
We call them ISIS now.
Al'Quida
Boko'Haram
ECT.....
Maybe Isaiah Phillip can read for us when God was angry with the king of Israel, for not finishing off the pregnant queen of these Islamic, Arab satan worshipers.
Maybe Isaiah Phillip can start studying his Bible, and stop making a fool out of himself.
HA!! Fat chance!!
Fools always talk out of their behinds
I am from an Hindu religion and really I was not knowing who is jesus but when I experience at that time I got to know that he is the only one might God let me tell you Christianity is not a religion its an experience
SPEEDHOLIC me too
Love the way this young man speaks the truth...............! I could never in a lifetime ever put these thoughts together in words!! Thank you Jeff!!
Truthfully this message changed my outlook on my life.
glad to hear it man, keep your heart open to god :)
Nezer Tupou gods helped me alot i should really do what he wants us to do
i Requuzs exactly right bro :)
I hope it turned you away from believing in a mythical deity that want to send most of the human race to hell for eternity. Please give the question some rational thought. Why would anybody worship a god that wants to send the majority of humans to hell for failing when he made us to fail.?
Every day I have a hard day working as a nurse and I wanna say "SCREW IT I DON'T CARE ANYMORE" I need to come back to watch this video because your mini sermon helps remind me why Him who IS chose this path for me in life, blessing be on you brother!
I work in the ED and some people need a wake up call and need to hit rock bottom to get a clue!!
I love helping people but sometimes you need to let them hit the bottom!! To wake up.
I'm seeing a lot of comments of people saying "cussing is not the unforgivable sin, it's blasphemy on the Holy Spirit". Yes, most of us know that. Jeff was just quoting on how other "Christians" treat swearing and cussing, as if it was unforgivable. Then, he just went into what really matters like helping the needy; loving and caring one another. Please, watch and listen carefully to the video so you can understand before you criticize Jeff. Thanks and God bless.
Got saved today, found this channel to help me get on the path to being a good Christian and having a relationship with god. Great vid
the only unforgivable sin in the bible is blaspheming on the holy spirit. Jesus said that.
tru🙌 if im not mistaken blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not believing in the Holy Spirit? or for accepting it?
+Superior Vigil Hello. I have spent much time in this one. Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit is where one does not Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. before their death. so see this person now stands before God, but the Holy Spirit is on Earth. and now the Holy Spirit can no longer Lead them to the Cross of Christ to place their faith in Him. so they have Blasphemy the Holy Spirit. or it is when a person Hardens their heart to the point they want nothing to do with Christ ever. so the no longer Hear the Holy Spirit anymore. and since they no longer Hear Him. they have no one to lead them to the cross of Christ. to accept Him as Lord. so they die in the state never accepting Jesus. Hope this helps. God bless. and Christ will forgive any sin as long as the person ask. the Holy Spirit is the one that leads us to Jesus Christ to ask Him into our Hearts. (to get Salvation from Him)
+aesthetics williams Thank you so much I've had trouble with the true meaning thank you for clearing it up God Bless.
+Superior Vigil let me add on to it... Unforgivable sin is unwillingness to repent. so basically you blaspheme the holy spirit in thinking "i did nothing wrong i did not sin why would i need too" it involves rejecting Jesus in doing so. everything else can be forgiven which in turn means all things but if you do not ask for forgiveness you do not receive it. so i answered the video. and yes all those other things are good works as a believer. but they wont condemned you to hell if you do not. so that is kind of construed
Swearing on the holy spirit. For example, I'm sure you are familiar with preachers of L.A. how they misuse the word and the name of the Lord. Or when some people "heal" using the holy spirit. It's more of like cursing the holy spirit.
I love the way he boldly tells it like it is, no sugar coating. Learning alot from him.
Great message. I'm seeing a few comments where people are confused about the "unforgivable sin," so I thought I'd weigh in.
The Bible says only one sin is unforgivable: blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Now, I don't think that's talking about a few bad words. More likely what it means is when you reject the Holy Spirit in your heart and deny its power to change lives and wash away sin, you're blaspheming the Holy Spirit. So it's when you reject Jesus at the deepest level, not just by ignoring him or disobeying him, but actually rejecting his power and refusing to have anything to do with him. That's the unforgivable sin, because if you do that, God can't reach you - or won't, because you've made your decision.
And as a general rule of thumb, if you're worried that you might have blasphemed the Holy Spirit, then you almost certainly haven't.
Mathew 12:32
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
All the stuff this guy says is all true.
ok! then when everyone like him say what he does how are we wrong then?..
James McCluksey we all wrong he just trying to tell the truth of how we suppose to live
The way you speak out, I don't just hear you, I feel you. This message went straight to my heart and taught me somethings I need in my life to improve my growing with God. Not only are your videos fresh, they penetrate the heart and feed the spirit.
Heaven and Earth will soon come to pass but his word will be forever.
How can his world be forever if it passed on?
No matter if you christian or catholic. You still believe in GOD.
Cussing is NOT the unpardonable sin...unbelief IS!
I'm an unbeliever.
This guy speaks the truth!!!! I really love this video. this is like my 30th time watching it. and I love how he started simply, you know just talking about someone saying bad word, and then he really went deep. I loved that
Jefferson I love your videos man, I'm an agnostic/atheist person that have refused contact with God. I seen myself like Peter that hated Christianity, and refusing God for a long time. I was almost rushed into getting baptized to Christianity from a bible group on campus because I was all new to it. I have seen that God have been helping direct my life that he is real. He been helping me out for a whole year when I did not truly deserve it. For instance, I was able to get a job to make payments for my education. The awful sinful way that I may struggle through like pornography, cussing, show me how drinking alcohol, smoking weed, and how the worldly way is awful. I can see he pulled the people away from me that I use to do these type of stuff with in my life. Thankfully, my grandmother told me to take time and see what God is showing me, but not to rush into becoming a Christian. I want to do it for the right purpose, so I may help other understand his grace and love towards the world. Why fear the Lord, when he only want to direct his people in the right direction. I still have a lot to learn and grow to understand his Mercy. In meantime, I sorta also changed my music too. I listen more to Wolves at Gate, Disciples, MF, 116, Sent By Ravens, and Spoken,typically Christian music. Please, keep me in prayers and I appreciate all your videos.
Bless this man Lord he has done so many things to help me understand you that I started balling this man is not just someone who says the understand you but they do understand you and love
Jesus said the unforgivable sin is sinning against the Holy Spirit.
Yes and this video has nothing to do with it
And not forgiveness of others
Ivy Kungu I only mean well.
Ntsika Gobo and u missed the point entirely
I thought the unforgivable sin was suicide
Me, to you...nothing but love! I can't tell you how friggan refreshing it is to hear so much of what I believe come out of another human. I'll keep listening.
The unpardonable sin is Blasphemy, and Blaspheming is calling the works of God Satanic. There is forgiveness for cussing, etc. but there is no forgiveness to call the Word and Works of God satanic - like the Scribes and Pharisees accused Our Lord Jesus of being under Satan's anointing.
This guy got it right guys. It still goes on today & it's not preached against. Instead we get vids like this.
My mind was full of saying this things I feel like i committed it:(
So powerful I love how he speaks the truth.
The only unforgivable sin is denying Jesus the Christ. His blood covers ALL sins... if you accept him as your personal savior and give Him your life.
There is no unforgivable sin
Matthew 12:31-32. Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is an unforgivable sin.
You have so effortlessly opened my eyes up to the bigger picture. I have lived most of my life as an "unsure" believer, the way you speak of Christianity, religion and Jesus is beautiful. Thank you.
We need More Christians Like this dude. #inspired
He's literally the only Christian talking about this.
Even pastor John Hagee doesn't bring this topic up.
I struggle with doubts, but I loved what you said here.
The one Christian that I like.
Well said, cheers to you, good sir, and may you practice your beliefs well.
Such clarity
You're videos are really inspiring and make me think more about what I can do to "return the favor", if you will, to Jesus.
Thank you brother for the videos, God is awesome and your being used by our lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
Blasphemy is the unforgivable sin. When Jesus walked on water, then a follower said he was casting out demons with demons. Also Jesus said if we can't forgive one another then my father can't forgive you! These are the two unforgettable sin!! Blasphemy and not forgiving!!
Plz speak truth, cause Jesus said the truth will set you free!! Plz tell the people truth!! That's all!
I cant get the bad word with the god on it and i think I committed the sin in my mind because i just keep thinking of not doing it i do by mistake. And now ill go to hell and im 13 years old.
Alredy did ana I haven't blasthimed god,since then but thanks for the advice anyway
Donna Chesser There is no unpardonable sin today! That is what the Cross was all about! It paid for ALL sin/sins!! Col 2:13 KJV ALL means ALL! why are we in the 4 gospels people? They were addressed to Israel only! to the Jews! Our doctrine to the body of Christ is found in pauls letters, Romans-Philemon. Rightly Divide the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15 KJV
Ok so there is no sin that can't be forgiven!?then jesus most really be the nicest person. And i got a question so if we work in our life like getting a job will we go to hell?
Robin Marie So then what you're saying is that you disagree with the bible? The bible literally says there's an unforgivable sin. But if you want to be like all the other silly little christians and pick and chose what you like, and interpret the bible to what works best for you, then go ahead. So based on your commemt, you're saying the bible isn't perfect. Cause if you say that evert single sin is forgiveable, but your bible says there are unforgivable sins, then that's a contradiction, which means the "perfect" word of god isn't so perfect.
Bro, you just hit to the points. Well done! God bless you and those have watched this amazing message.
Oh my goodness!! I love your work so much.. Im so grateful and happy that I stumbled upon your channel. I actually just found you today. And it was a total accident. An amazing accident though. Thank you so much for all that you do. You are such a breathe of fresh air. Please dont ever stop. You are one of a kind, and an inspiration to so many. God bless, and stay safe. :-)
Nothing is by accident its God that brang yhu here belivied or not
this was a really really good message 👍👌
I'm an atheist, but if christians actually read their bible they would know that the unforgivable sin is not "rejecting Jesus forever". According to Jesus himself, the unforgivable sin is "to speak against the holy spirit". So if you say "The holy spirit is evil." you are going to hell because that sin will not be forgiven. Rejecting Jesus forever is implied in the bible as being an unforgivable sin, and it obviously is, but it is not written in the word as such.
binge watching these videos for like 3 hours but this one has truly touched my heart thank u
Its so strange that you say some people force themselves to pray and appear christian. i know its true..but if they dont feel it..why do it..God knows the truth. I just cant fake loving God..he is my universe.
Amen! :)
One word - Catholicism
This is one "version" of Christianity that Christians can really be proud of. Of course, it still contains the one fatal flaw (I think, have to see more of his stuff), but at least Bethke is teaching love, much as Jesus did throughout his lifetime. Good work, dude. Keep it up! Cheers.
praise God
Just beautiful, service for the joy of it! It becomes so fun that whereever you go, you are always looking for someone that might need help. Thanks
I thought that the unforgivable sin was not believing in god. If swearing is an unforgivable sin then EVERYBODY in the world is going to hell.
not the people who don't swear
Brittney Ashley there is NOBODY in the world who has learned to talk or communicate that hasnt sworn at one point in their life
Fuzzy Wuzzy if you watch the video you see that he is talking about how swearing is NOT an unforgivable sin. nowhere in the bible can you find an "unforgivable" sin. YOU ARE FORGIVEN
Bryce Matkins Uh, no. In the book of matthew I believe, jesus says that blaspheming the holy spirit is an unforgivable sin.
Everyone sinned. There is no "big" or "little" sin. The point is, is that Christian's and people as a whole don't realize what's really important, taking care of other people instead of worrying about whether people are going to Hell or Heaven, because Jesus already died for us, which gives us freedom to give back
God bless!!! Everything make sense :) :) :) good job for Jesus!!!!!!
the unforgivable sin is nothing you think it is. when Jesus died he took away the sins of the world. The only sin he couldn't die for is the sin of unbelief.
Some of the best advice I have ever received in a matter of 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Thank you.
You absolutely need to be a pastor!!
He is a pastor. But he don't keep his work in the church he goes beyond the line and spreads his words around the world.
Is it weird that i watch your videos even though i am not christian?
+Alaya Ozil definitely not! Its so awesome that you are wanting to learn! This is totally the right place to be :) God Bless
+Alaya Ozil maybe somethings drawing you to them......coincidence....I think not :)
+Alaya Ozil Absolutely! But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
+Alaya Ozil Absolutely! But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Everybody is a christian, we just got different regions, that made us away from God.
This really helped
Amen Jeff.. Thank you for this..I love you. Keep the faith. I am 76, and all my life have had a love relationship with Jesus, and our heavenly Father, and along with the Holy Spirit's help have been privileged to be able to help others in many ways. Wonderful Eternal life here on earth in our hearts.
The unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the holy spirit. Not using a swear word.
Thoughts also:((
AWESOME! LOVE IS the fulfillment of the LAW because there is no law against it! Speaks volumes that the only LAW the modern church still practices from the 'tanach' is the tithe which the n.t. does not teach. It only teaches to GIVE as each one purposes in their hearts.
Oliver Charlesworth humble ur self before GOD! forget about what orthodox christianity teaches, GOD does not 'make' us in that he 'participates' nor does he 'ordain' your current physical state. The human condition is 'corrupted', death is upon all mankind and the resurrection is the cure for 'ALL' our afflictions, but humility is the key. If you have ears to hear, you will!
Oliver Charlesworth like i said: humility is the key
Oliver Charlesworth Well...not really my kind. Sounds like ur in a bad way, howz that working for you?
Let me ask you this. You say tattoos are ok, you say secular music is ok. But what about where Jesus says to be FRIENDS with the World is to be ENYMIES with God? What about where God says you can not serve God & Serve Mammon? What about where God says to Be Holy for He is Holy? You tell these people that God does not care about how they live just how they serve. But that is NOT what the BIBLE says!!! The Bible says to live righteous and to turn from this world!!!!
1Pe_1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1Pe_1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1Jn_3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Rev_22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
1Jn_2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1Pe_4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Pe_3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
Now I love you young man, I love you enough to tell you the Bible tells you, you must turn from sin. And if you do not turn from sin you are NOT of Christ but of the devil. Your buddy here is not going to tell you that. Your preacher is not going to tell you that. cause they want you to believe its all about grace. And yes we have grace but you can not just continue in sin. Like paul says Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
You are free from sin and you should live as such. Not as a sinner who is always justifying your sin by " we all sin" .. No we don't!! I am free from sin!!! I go out everyday & keep Gods commandments. And you can too. And if you cant, well you might want to get with Christ again cause He freed you from sin destroying you!!!
Son you are lost and you need Jesus! I hope you turn to our Savior before its to late.I am not even going to read your 60 something lines of your opinion I gave you over 25 verses to contradict what you said. and all you have to say is you talked about Jesus & I gave you John. Did not God write the Whole Bible??? All of it??? Oh you must use one of those NiVs or NASB"S That are clearly from the devil with all the verses missing, You need Jesus son I hope You are one of His Sheep & He saves you!
Mike Toney mattew 7:1 judge not unless you be judged , need i say more?
Are you serious??? Joh_7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
1Co_6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co_6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1Co_14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
Please Judge me!!! Please Hold me to Scripture & judge me!!! IT SAYS JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED. JUDGE ME PLEASE!!! CAUSE THEN YOU WILL SEE ONE WHO DIED DAILY & LETS CHRIST LIVE INSTEAD!!!!
Gal_2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Php_1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
he is not saying its ok............. Why do people completely miss the point!!!!!?
"Out of the mouths of babes". I am so thrilled to finally see the Truth being shared. And the Truth will set you Free! Thank God for you! Keep up the great work.
The thing is that Jesus was called to save the whole world. And He's God, so of course He can fulfill that burden. But the average Christian can't save the world. Instead of trying, we need to take a lesson from Jesus. Even though He was called to the world, He only saves those who ask Him too. Our responsibility as Christians is to do the same. Don't feel guilty for ignoring a homeless man you might see, but if he calls out to you for help, do everything in your power to help.
I don't agree with this. We are called to absolute surrender. W are 100%, wholly God's. If God leads a homeless man across your path, you are charged to make a difference.
Rich Mullins would often sign his autograph with the admonition to "Be God's" (note the possessive). We are to be whole and complete instruments of God; serving Him is the real world; everything else is trivial.
If God is leading a homeless man to you, that man would likely seek you out for help. But you have to agree that there are millions of people that even if you gave everything you had to, they would be no better off. Just because you see someone you'd like to be able to help, doesn't mean God sent them there so you would help them. And like I said this is a lesson clearly demonstrated by Jesus. While He walked the earth, and when He died for it, the only ones who life He changes, are those who seek Him.
The average Christian is not ready to cut his hand or pull out his eyes in order to stop sinning. He prays mostly for about 15 minus per day and compromises in difficult times. Even though I agree with you that we have to do what we are called to do, I think the average Christian will hardly make it because of their little commitment and unwillingness to make sacrifices, they can even betray their Lord.

Sending your number over the internet? That hardly sounds safe.
Jefferson Bethke can you please make a video on how to become christian, I believe in Jesus but, I constantly feel like I am not doing enough, I was baptized a catholic as a child, does this make a difference what do I have to do or pursue to call myself a christian besides the fact that I believe in and accept Jesus Christ as my savior,
Mariaaa Rios being a Christian is a choice that must change your life and the way you act . I was baptised as a child but ended up acting terrible and in no way how a Christian should act but recently I accepted Jessus again and I admit I have committed terrible sins since then but I came back repented and confused my sins . In conclusion being a Christian is a choice and you don't have to be baptised for but being baptised is a promise to live your life for the Lord.
The rejection of Jesus is the unforgivable sin.
Not true. Read the Bible.
It's doubting the Holy Spirit and it's power to lead you
Simeon Washington No, that is not it either. It amazes me how many folks are confused about this subject, especially when Jesus clearly spelled it out in the Bible.
to ignore the obvious power of the holy spirit and to doubt it's power is the U.S.
here found this link at the top of google it explains it better.
www.biblegateway.com/blog/2012/10/what-is-the-unforgivable-sin/
Simeon Washington No, that "blog" is also not correct. Simply put. It is calling the Holy Spirit satanic. That is what the Scribes did in Mark 3:22. Jesus performed miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit. They said he did it by the power of Satan. That, and only that, is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Nothing else. Read the whole passage through verse 30.... not in the CEV or other twisted versions. try KJV or NKJV.
This man preaches love. His words are kind and they only inspire a feeling of wanting to do good and live in the name of God. How can you argue with something so positive?
There is no 'unforgivable sin' God can and will forgive anything you do. All you need to do is trust that Jesus died for our sins on the cross and you can know 100% as a fact that you are going to heaven. Seems simple eh? because it is. Why would God over complicate getting to heaven by adding in a bunch of works you need to do or 'unforgivable sins'?
No there is an unforgivable sin, its an eternal sin. It is blasphemy against the holy spirit
No...Christ paid for all sins, no matter what. Where are you getting this idea?
My point is, once you are saved there is no unforgivable sin that will make you unsaved or something.
Not so, "Blasphemy of Man, God will forgive and Blasphemy of the Son God will forgive, but he who Blasphemes the Holy Ghost, God shall not forgive." What this means is someone who has, "Tasted of the fruit of the spirit and has completely, and willing turned his back on it, shall never again be renewed unto grace again."
The unforgivable sin is exactly as the word declares. Being saved, and knowing the holy spirit well and willingly deciding to leave him because you believe the world has more to offer. The reason this is unforgivable is because you are telling a lie on the holy Spirit, saying that you knew Him so well and yet He wasn't enough. This is the sin Satan had on top of his pride, because this is the lie he tells us today in order to cause this sin. It originated from him and indulging in it makes us just like him.
The bible says a million times, once saved always saved. There is NO unforgivable sin, read the bible mate.
I know this is an awesome message, but now I just have a bad conscience and don't know what to do with myself.
He said he's not trying to guilt trip you. But hey, we have the freedom to go out and do things in the name of Christ!
+Victoria A Yeah, I know, I just feel like there isn't much I can do as a kid who barely speaks the language of the place I live in. 😅 The things I could do require more courage than I have, so that's why I felt guilty. But it's ok, I can still just be kind to people around me. :)
+Marlstarl87 yeah i k ow what you mean. its definitely hard to know where to start. sometimes praying for God to help you know where to start is the best first step. A prayer i am also praying for myself!
+Victoria A Thank you, that's sweet of you! I will. :)
I've cussed and sweared TOO MUCH, been racist etc.
The sin is using his name in vain not saying "omg" no it means using the name of God for nefarious reasons, like the Pope who acts like a man of God on the surface but spits lies.. He's screwed.
Wrong. The Pope is a child of God, he does not use the word of God in vain. The Protestant reformation did that. FYI: I am a Methodist, not a Catholic but in the Anglican catholic movement like.
Or like Robert Lyte.
I was truly convicted watching this & I am a Pastor's daughter. This word was like the hammer that smashes the rock into peices. I refuse to let this pass me by. Thank you for letting God use you like this. & I love you for this.
good job.
At the 3:53 mark, you say that god loves the sick, lame, and broken. Your god appears to be afflicted with multiple personality disorder (which I suppose would explain the Trinity). Here are "god's" thoughts on the sick, lame, and broken in Leviticus:
*"16The Lord said to Moses, 17“Say to Aaron: ‘For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the Lord. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God"*
Nice god you have there. Not only is he petty, vengeful, jealous, and insecure, but he hates handicapped people!
And records indicate that Allah, Jesus and his Dad, and all the Faith healers that operate in their names have this thing about never healing amputees to give back any missing limbs. Another minority group they discriminate against!
The faith healers are most famous for healing imaginary pains in the legs so people can walk again.
maybe you should establish your excerpt was from the evangelical parallel bible
Dustin Zilbauer I must say you did an excellent job ripping that verse right out of context. You claim that God hates handicapped people. So Jesus made the lame walk again; made the blind see; made the sick healthy; cast demons out of men...because he hates them? Why would he do that if he hated handicapped people?
Nathan Cross Well other than the tales in the Bible we have zero evidence of any miracles ever actually being done by Jesus the Nazarene, so the question is moot. Sadly there is not one single written record in existence by ANYBODY actually written in the entire 30+ years of Jesus ' entire life that even mentions his name, let alone any Virgin Birth, miracles, preaching to thousands, or any supposed Resurrection. Apparently no citizens of Jerusalem or anywhere else in Judaea, or any of the Historians living through those years, like the famous Philo of Alexandria, thought anything Jesus did or said was worth writing down a few lines about.
I think you are going by some stories that a small group of mostly unknown authors composed decades AFTER Jesus was dead and buried, when they were trying to start up another new religion and based it on Jesus and created the more marketable Christ image. It was only then that the people heard about any Virgin Birth and Resurrection claims. And do you know when the Church Leaders finally OFFICIALLY declared Jesus to be the Son of God to end the squabbling over it? That would be 300 years later in 325 AD.
Nathan Cross In what context is it morally acceptable to discriminate against a person with a disease or handicap? And since you brought up the Jesus persona of your imaginary, split-personality god, you probably should be aware that "Jesus" did say you must HATE and abandon your entire family in order to be his disciple, typical cult mentality. Are you willing to do that?
I'm a Luciferian (a type of Satanist) and I agree with this, so hard.
In my personal opinion the most important part of religion is what the belief makes you, not if some guy actually walked the earth 2000 years ago.
As a Christian (what I was raised as) I lived my life like everyone else. Understood there were poor, sickly, and helpless. But like everyone else I just ignored it.
But as a Luciferian I have become more generous than ever before. I enjoy being a Luciferian partially because I enjoy being a good person.
I would rather have someone be a good person as a Christian than be a bad or apathetic person as a Satanist. We hold different beliefs but we're all in this together. We all get one shot on this earth, we might as well make it count.
If a luciferian agrees with the message Jeff presented in this video, along with those who call themselves christians, proves the message to be false
countryboy921000 I completely disagree, the luciferin makes one's self feel good about themselves. Like they are better than others, even evil people give good gifts to their children, let's see them do good unto their enemies, and give God the glory, not themselves. A lot of people are missing the point.
Karen Lamb. No. It ist about feeling good at all. Its about love.
Everett Logan. That is a complete lie. satanist are not generous. satan doesn't care for anyone but himself and his followers follow what he does. Generosoty comes from the Love of God out of your heart. satan is the father of lies it is his native tongue. Youre being decieved. Repent and seek Christ . God bless you.
who says he didn't forgive you? the fact you're worried about it shows me you prob didn't commit the unforgivable sin. if you did you more than likely wouldn't care.
I know it's just a title, but seriously there is joy in giving and caring for others. Thanks Jeff for the message.
I think this guy does an incredible job. But to be honest Christian's do A LOT for local communities. I stated this a little further down, but this is how I feel about this. This video is the perspective of one single person with a bad experience. Most Church's do A LOT for their surrounding communities; sure they dont go door-to-door asking people if they can pay their rent. But, most local food drives and out reach programs our ran by local Church groups. I will go as far to say that Christianity makes up 99% compared to all the other combined religions for out reach programs. Unfortunately, Christians can not bare the financial burden of the entire country, but we definitely to far more then most local government and any other group.
You are correct, I think Christians do more than most. However, this isnt the perspective of a single person. Even as Christians we can do more and I mean us all. Myself included. Sadly, we are more concerned about our next I-phone than the homeless and hungry person we passed on the way there. God has brought my family through some things in my life. He always put people in our path to show his love. In that same path were MANY "Christians" and MANY Churches that looked at us as if we were dirt and turned there back. Not a second though was given. Again, it isnt a single incident..-Be Blessed
Bubba Garza The point is that Churches have many local out reach programs to help people. To say Churches don't do their part for society is irresponsible. Obviously there will be incidents; but as a whole the Christian community does a lot.
stephenlleeds I agree with both of you, however, I like what Bubba Garza said. Yes, there are a ton of churches that do a ton of outreach and financial help to people, but the Church being the Body of Christ, one or two Christians walking down the street past a homeless person are included as 'the Church'. When your church gets together for an outreach opportunity, it's easy for one person to help people when the rest of their church members are. But when a Christian is walking down the street alone and sees someone begging for food or warmth, most times the Christian is thinking about other unimportant things, like the newest Samsung Galaxy or iPhone.
Ah.. putting words in peoples mouth! To assume Christians sit back and do nothing is ignorance; just like your comment all together.
99%? No, that is a lie. Many religious and atheist groups help others, stop being delusional.
I thought the unforgivable sin was "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit"
Yeshua is love I think he has spoken on repentance. And I wouldn't say he doesn't teach those things because he haven't seen him preach in his actual church. I would only class him as a false christian or false prophet if he taught false doctrine which he hasn't as far as I've seen.
Yeshua is love Brother, not teaching something doesn't mean false doctrine and how do we know he's never spoken on those subjects, I'm sure he's spoken on repentance before. Paul didn't teach the law but he was not a false prophet. Jeff himself is a youth pastor that's why he talks about these subjects. It's targeted at teenagers and children. A true Christian isn't hated, we are hated by the outside, secular world, but not within our own communities. A Christian is not supposed to hate another Christian. Jesus mentions hatred in the Sermon on the Mount: “But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment” (Matthew 5:22). The Lord commands that not only should we be reconciled with our brother before we go before the Lord, but also that we do it quickly (Matthew 5:23-26). The act of murder itself was certainly condemned, but hatred is a “heart” sin, and any hateful thought or act is an act of murder in God’s eyes for which justice will be demanded, possibly not in this life but at the judgment. So heinous is the position of hate before God that a man who hates is said to be walking in darkness, as opposed to the light (1 John 2:9, 11). The worst situation is that of a man who continues professing religion but remains at enmity with his brother. The Scriptures declare that such a person is a liar (1 John 4:20), and he may fool men, but not God. How many believers live for years pretending that all is well, putting on a front, only to be found finally wanting because they have harbored enmity (hatred) against a fellow believer? We are called to love each other and be in fellowship with one another. So no brother, a Christian should be loved and accepted by his fellow Christians, we are only ridiculed by the outside people.
All credit to the Gotquestions group
Yeshua is love Talking about a certain subject does not make him a false Christian. You use the logic that because a preacher isn't preaching a certain message at a specific time, that they are a false prophet? That's nonsense and has nothing to back it up. The message is made for a specific age group to help them, as long as he is teaching the gospel and isn't teaching false doctrine, means he is not a false teacher. All the doctrine he teaches is based on the bible, just because he isn't talking about a specific one that you prefer, doesn't mean he isn't a false prophet. You get it? For example, when someone teaches on the subject of idolatry from a biblical and christian perspective, does that mean he is a false prophet because he isn't preaching about the end of days at this time? No because he can only teach one specific message at a time and teach a message that he specializes in, and no single teaching is more important than another, they're all of important value. For Jeff, he is a youth pastor, so he specializes in subject relevant to teenagers which involves messages of idolatry, relationships, sex, and etc.
Yeshua is love It isn't perfect that's for sure. It isn't alien to me, in-fact I've been ridiculed by other who claim to be Christian but have no proper knowledge of the Bible, what I'm saying is what the Bible says. Real Christians embrace each other and help each other, just like the Christians around here are doing.
He is a youth pastor, that is what he specializes in as a youth pastor. Doesn't mean he doesn't teach these other messages either. I know, and that's a good point but it doesn't mean Jeff is. He doesn't preach messages that are easily received, he tackles some controversial subjects, just as the ones you have mentioned. Christians will be prosecuted, but they aren't supposed to be prosecuted by their fellow Christian, but I understand your concern
Yeshua is love It is mine as well, it is the duty of all Christians, I just find very little proper evidence to prove that he is a false teacher. The core teachings of Christianity was love, Jesus said to his followers there was no greater commandment than loving your neighbor just as you loved yourself. He is showing the true love of Christ by teaching and helping those in need.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unforgiveable sin.
Swearing is NOT however, a part of a true christian's vocabulary.
I think you are the hypocrite. You are trying to excuse one sin with another sin and you are also a legalistic pharisee.
WHAT???? No!! God forgives! WTF are you talking about??
Charles E. Walden
"WTF"? That's very christian! Read Matthew 12.
I know it's wrong, but you get my point.
Charles E. Walden
I think you are being disrespectful to the God you claim to be serving.
Are we all not hypocrites? Don't we all fall short of the glory of God? Who are you to call someone out for hypocrisy?
I totally agree with what you say. People preach, but no one acts on them.
there's probably no God, now stop worrying and enjoy ur life.
"There's probably no god"? Really? Then how are we here? How is our world so perfect?(Not people the world) How is it that the entire universe(Most likely)outside of planet earth is completely devoid of life, water, even oxygen? God is an architect and I'd say he's does pretty friggin' good considering what he has to work with. Y'know a bunch of rebellious, ungrateful, wretched, misers. Just sayin' also please refraim from saying this on a video dedicated to the greatest god EVER! It does nothing but agitate people who love him like me =)
TheSilverZodiac devoid of life, water and oxygen? not true bru, we recently discovered water on planet Mars. PLus we have discovered bacteria-like life on planets like Pluto. These discoveries didn't come about from faith, the bible or a zombie jew. They came about from science. If you say that God is a necessary first cause of the universe, then what is God's first cause? If you go on to say that God always has been, and never was created - then why not skip this entire step and just say that the universe always has been and never was created? Bottom line, i have great doubts. And doubt is humble. So even if there is such a thing as God - based on the massive complexity and chaotic universe we live in, with billions of galaxies, I feel pretty certain that this God doesn't give a shit about you. This God couldnt care less about you. You're whole existence is meaningless, and there's no magic voodoo man sitting up in the sky watching and loving you. Thats just ridiculous... BUT! You can still find your own meaning! God is dead, and we have all killed him - No go enjoy your freedom! Knowing that there's no tyrant judging you for who you want to be!
***** You do make a good point I personally began to believe in my youngest years(16-18 I don't remember but i'm currently 20)because My view is without god our world our ENTIRE universe makes no sense, y'know? Like we live and diebut where's the endgame, the eternity. Why isn't there one but if god was real (which he is)then there's meaning in our lives not something insignificant like everybody sees nowadays like how many times someone gets laid or how much money someone makes, or even something like curing the famine in the east these things are important but only on a humanistic scale...Not long term So why does everyone always shut out the obvious answer?
***** calm down... you think your caps-lock will silence me with fear? all i said was, that if God is a cause without cause, why cant the universe be a cause without a cause?
"If you believe in the theory of evolution then life holds no meaning for you because you have no moral compass?"
Yeah, i dont think so... My morals are pretty strong thank you very much, adn I'd say secular morality is stronger than religious morality, because based on your own criteria, God is the only thing keeping you from lying and stealing. I dont believe in God, and guess what? I do believe it's wrong to steal and lie! Shocker i know....
A straw man argument. You cannot logically state that there is no God because you cannot know all things so as to determine that there is one. You can only say that you have not seen convincing proof, after all, there may be one you haven't yet seen.
I grew up a similar way to you...single mom, but was blessed to go to a christian school. But my mom also struggled for paying for things. This is why I want to go into Social Work/Family Studies and Ministry work.
What a video. I saw the why I hate religion video at Quaker lake Camp and it was a change for me. But this adds even more. I have been trying and doing the greatest I can do to change bad in my life, and to help or comfort others. But sometimes we just let go of things we try to hold dear, but forget about them. And so watching this re sparks my inner self
What really true is that nobody, as in nobody can really know and understand you better than God. Whatever good or bad that others can be seen or heard from YOU.
Just crying. Thank you so much!
I agree!!! I agree a million times!!!!!! Thank you for this!! God bless ya
Jefferson is wise beyond words, this right there is the essence of true Christianity. Thank you for sharing, brother!
Amen, well spoken, thats how I feel everytime I pick up my 5wk old grandson, & walking with him in my arms around the park, & not in a pram, because I want to feel him & for him to know that he is completely safe & loved in my arms, even tho it strains my arms & back, because he deserves all the love I can give :-)
Wow! This is how God works! I just listened to that passage today, now hearing you expound on it for video for our daughter to watch. 🙏
I love the way God has been using you man, keep it up. I'm always encouraged and comforted by your videos. Don't ever let anyone tell you it's not worth it. God is impacting more lives through you than you realize.
What a blessing. I really enjoyed watching this video. It was so inspirational and a blessing. Thank you so much. You have really illustrated the greatness of Jesus! Keep it up!
You said "if"..... "If he's talking about us." HE IS TALKING ABOUT US. GOOD TALK. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
After watching several of your video's, I hope you have sincerely contemplated ministry. There is a need for cleansing in church's and congregations like never before, and you would be a crucial asset to that cause. I truly believe you have the gift to be a great fisher of men. I just thought I'd embark some words of encouragement to you and thank you for sharing the Word with us. Continue down the path you started, brother.
I appreciate what your doing. Keep giving glory to the most high and feed the people with the word. Remember that we will be accounted for every idle word we say. Seek truth and forgiveness. Love you in christ brother, Amen?
As a single mother and new to "Christianity" more like my beginning of a relationship with God, have questioned everything that you just mentioned about how Christians do just watch and not help when God has blessed them and continues to bless them…Love your vids…God is sure using you...
This guy is a true soldier for Gods Kingdom and really makes you re-evaluate your Christian walk! Amen Bro!
I wish more Christians would have this point of view. This man knows what he's talking about
you're the most rational Christian I've seen on the internet. You literally speak my mind. God bless you.
Jeff you always make us learn to bless the mess. We need more ppl like you
This is powerful, I'm sharing this with my friends because this is accurate
I love your RUclips channels. I'm not religious or a Christian, or anything, but I do love your channel. you inspire me so much
God always shows me just what I need just at the right time! This really helped me out/ spoke to me. I love love love you videos!
Thank you Jefferson. Absolutely brilliant. Please continue to inspire. You are fulfilling Your calling and in turn helping me to discover mine. Rock on brother. God bless us all.
I usually don't comment on youtube videos, but this video hit me deep inside my heart and had me thinking about the real meaning of the word "Christianity" and my responsability as a Christian. Thank you for the amazing work. Keep it up.
