    I'm a Swede (a VERY atheistic people) who have just begun to approach christianity and I'm really enjoying your videos.
    The christianity you're presenting is so different from what I've been made to believe. It's logical and credible rather than incoherent and irrational.
    I bought a bible yesterday and I'm so curious to find out where it will take me.
    Please keep making videos, if there is a God he's surely working through you.

      Oh my gosh!!! This comment meant SO much to me!!! I screenshotted my computer screen so I can save it! Thank you SO so soo much for sharing this with me!!! :) It makes me really happy to hear that you got a Bible and that you're getting a fresh taste of Christianity through the videos. Literally thank you thank you thank you.
      You're LOVED! Have a great day!

    I would never think you're weird or even lying when you're talking about that feeling you get inside you when you are praying. I KNOW this feeling. When I lay in bed at night praying I get this amazing feeling of comfort and love and I can feel it in my heart. I can't describe it I just know that the holy spirit is inside me! Thank you so much for this video ❤

    • @jimmyg1127
      @jimmyg1127 6 лет назад +3

      Julia Meschbach, I know the feeling too!
      I also know when the Holy Spirit tells me the beautiful truth, and my sins are seen by me, then I repeatedly say I'm sorry. I am truly repentant. Almost on a daily basis is when I break down and say how sorry I am.

    Such a great video! I love what God is doing through you! Hope to see more of your videos as the Spirit leads you. You do encourage a lot of people through your faith. God bless you girl!

    I sent this to my best friend. Thank you for this video. I know exactly that peace and comfort and love that he just pours over us and it really is indescribable no one else can make me feel that way. It's like a breath of fresh air after months of being confined to a small dark room. That's what it feels like to be forgiven of all of your sin. Like it's so amazing.

    ♥♥♥ I was a non believer thinking Christians were ignorant and inferior but... I had a personal encounter with Jesus and everything changed. It's supernatural. Prophecies, Septuagint, for example the book of Daniel (b/C) giving the exact dates of Jesus entering Jerusalem (10 of Nissan) always amazes me, just a little proof of God's existence. Love your blog you are very well informed about the Bible. God bless you gurl ♥

    @ArielleDatnoff 8 лет назад +27

    Damn Daniel! I really liked the example you used with the shack on the island. I've always had the belief in my mind that God created the universe, and this really helped me explain my logic to myself. It's especially hard when you're in science class and your assessment question is "The Earth is 75% water. Using evidence from your investigation, explain how the water gathered on Earth." And I just want to write "God freakin' put it there." But I'm supposed to go on about how planets break off and form and leave H20 and meteorites break down and water is put into cycle. As you were saying, humans monitor these things, and it can't be proven for sure if we weren't there to set it up. If we have no doubt in our minds that a human must have been there before us to build a shack, why would we question how a universe this vast came to be?

    If after death there is nothing (what I seriously doubt)...I experienced the pain of confessing all my sins and....and ! receiving forgiveness. And experiencing God changing my character and changing my habits to conform them to His laws. A miracle. Please let Him go on to sanctify me! Even suffering brought me joy of being closer to Him.

  • @madisonjones3222

    Your series has been really inspiring to me and I love all of the knowledge and wisdom you posses. I was actually baptized yesterday before the New Year and it was great and really life changing, I prayed and cried so hard when I cam home. And after I prayed I wanted to watch videos about young women and there experience and testimony while being one with Jesus. And your video was the first video I have come across, I went to sleep watching your videos and now I'm up watching your videos and this awesome series. I would said i didn't really have any doubts that God was real, i just needed some advice and guidance, and your videos gave them to me. I THANK YOU for making videos because you have touched me and probably many others as well. Keep doing what your doing, its very inspiring. I will continue to watch your videos throughout my journey as a born again Christian, in hopes that for any questions I may have I can watch these videos and continue to pray, pray ,pray, for I know that God is always watching and hearing and is real. God Bless and Happy New Year!!

    @sEEKllsevN 8 лет назад +10

    For me, the very reason I came to believe in our Creator was through supernatural experience believe it or not. I thought to myself that if such 'ghosts' and apparitions exist, then surely God must as well. few years after having such experiences, He has saved my life multiple times.
    one thing, I'm not sure if it's just me, but when I talk about Him, I'm... kinda afraid to say God. even when taking to Christians.. idk

    Hi becca, great video! I myself am struggling with some doubt of God's existence and it stems off of the fact that I struggle with severe acne and often become angry at God and think that no one is really listening to me and that I am jut talking to myself. Before I had this crisis of faith, I heard God speak to me through others that my acne was going to be healed and I know He can do it but my lack of faith is getting in the way. I was wondering if you could please pray for me I love your videos and hope to restore the love of the Lord in my heart as I see it in yours ❤️ God bless

God bless!

    • @dennisgamer4948
      @dennisgamer4948 7 лет назад

      Hello! I saw that you were concerned about this question so i will help you out :), basically what historians have found is what we now call "The dead sea scrolls" which is a collection of sciptures from the old and new testament, (you can search on it and you will find a lot on google about it) they have done test and tried to figure out according to history when the scrolls might have been written, and they found out it was from around 50-1 bc or somewhere around the year 1-100, now they have not found all scriptures that are in the bible but they have found enough to realize it follows the way bible describes it. an example is that alexander the great lived somewhere around 300-400 (idk sorry xD) but somewhere around there, so we can figure out that the bibles prophecies were written down (50 bc to year 100) and that the bible indeed wrote it before it happened. of course you can do more research about it but that's what I've gotten out of it :). Hope it helped!

    • @FarAwayDistance
      @FarAwayDistance  8 лет назад

      Great question!! I would say because at the time, it was the biggest kingdom the world had ever known. It probably felt that way to them maybe? I don't have the perfect answer to this, I'll be completely honest! It would be very interesting to see what wording was used in the Greek translation (the original translation) of the world "whole earth" because it might be a little different when it's translated into English. Here is an article you might want to read about this - www.equip.org/article/daniel-accurately-predict-succession-nations/ :)

    I keep searching for new arguments for the existence of God but I constantly find the same arguments over and over in slightly different forms. Also, you said that you experienced god in your heart. What does that mean? How would you know if it was god, yourself or the devil? Maybe, it was an emotional reaction similar to what causes a mosh pit at a Metallica concert or causes people to be moved to tears by a symphony.

      I feel him too, his presence, I know it’s God because his presence isn’t evil, if it was evil then I would know it was the devil, I know it’s not me because I am incapable of making myself feel the way God does, he overpowers me with the Holy Spirit, his love is there in my heart and I become extremely emotional, i know it’s not me because it is impossible for me to love as much as he does

      2 Corinthians 11:14
      But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
      Honestly, for me it's sad because I don't think I've had a very spiritual christian experience. I've felt God's presence before, or the holy spirit one time, and this other time God whispered to me a bible verse repeatedly, and I hadn't really read the Bible before, I looked it up in my Bible and it was the ONLY highlighted verse, and this other time I felt his presence while I left my confirmation retreat, but other than that I've only felt him three times. . .
      lol, i guess i DID feel him before, but I mostly believe in God because of the evidence.
      Also, the New Testament tells us to test the spirits!! If you have an experience with God, look up scripture and see if that spirit really aligns with scripture. That's why it's important to read the word every day
      God bless!

    Why is it so easy for you to believe that God was never created, just always there, yet so hard for you to believe that a single cell was always just there and never created? Who do you think was the person behind creating God? You said yourself nothing can become without something behind it. Im so confused rn someone help

      Chloe Seljak Well, I would like to try to help. Our minds are not capable of understanding all of the universe. We are just too small. I saw this analogy on another video and I loved it. Our brains, they're like computers. They have limits. I can understand why it's hard to believe that God was always here because of the limits of our mind. We cannot fathom the concept of 'before time' or 'eternity'. But I think about the fact that God is, well, God. He isn't like anything we have ever seen or heard before. He is almighty, and he is most certainly not human. You have to think of God as something different entirely. I really urge you to watch her first video in the Why I Believe series, the end point about 'one dimensional" is super amazing and it helped me become even stronger in my faith. I hope you check it out, God bless you😊💕

      It's really hard to see loved ones pass on, my grandma also passed away a few years ago😰But we have to remember that God's plan is always the right one. Things don't always go as we want them to, but God sees the whole picture, the complete story. He holds the world in His hands, and we can take comfort that He knows what we do not and He will help us through all these hard and unexpected times.

      It is once appointed unto man to die ... we will all go at some time. He set an appointment for that. So even tho it’s hard for people left here there is rejoicing in heaven for that soul making it home. Scripture says the lord rejoices over the death of saints. He is faithful to answer but it’s not always what we choose but what is needed at that time for everyone involved.

    Dear Becca ,in the bible its clearly stated that women should not teach christian men."A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent"- 1 Timothy 2:11-12.Your videos are very great and i think that its not sinful for a women to share her testimony of her faith,
    I just want to know what are your thoughts on this?(i'm not some anti femminist,i always want woman to have oppurtunities as men do but the scripture can be set apart.).God bless

    • @FarAwayDistance
      @FarAwayDistance  8 лет назад +6

      This comment came at the perfect timing. I have been debating whether or not to make a video about what the Bible says about women, and now I probably will! So that verse and other verses Paul wrote in the Bible about women could make it seem like he is a sexist pig who hated women, but it was the exact opposite. I have SO much to say about this and I won't share everything now, but we cannot take verses out of their context like you did above, or we can make the verses say whatever we want them to. It is VITAL that we look at verses in their original contexts - the historical, cultural, theological, literal, and political contexts. Studying the original language is also super important.
      So in this culture, women had NO rights whatsoever. They could barely even go outside. They could do nothing. So the fact that Christians let women go to church to LEARN was HUGE and SUPER liberal at the time. Most women could have NEVER been able to do that. If we study what else was going on in the church at the time we can also see what Paul was saying. He was writing to a specific church at the time where women were making outbursts during church at inappropriate times. He was literally saying they shouldn't be obnoxious and loud during church so they don't disrupt the service. I have SO much to say about this but this is all I have time to write right now!! Paul was soo liberal and it's hard to tell now because our culture is so different than theirs, but he did many things to help women out and help their voices to be heard!! It's really cool and I'll explain it sometime in a video soon! So I do not think me making RUclips videos teaching about Jesus (using the gifts He has given to me) is wrong. Not at all. Hope this helps!!

    • @samuelmatt1910
      @samuelmatt1910 8 лет назад

      Its true you can use your spiritual gifts and it is not something that is to be kept (my system is kinda slow thats why i couldnt copy-paste the context verse for i had to copy- paste it from bible hub) and yes it could be a cultural(because Paul in the verse say's I expect a women to be quiet ,so it could be cultural because the use of "I" kind of refers to something personal and not of much spiritual ) issue and what Paul meant was for positions such as priest,elder,pastor and other leadership in Church which i still believe is to be by men(only for sake of the verse)even its hard for me when i saw this and i read this verse back and forth a hundread times and i never twist any word of God for my sake(i dont want you to have a false impression of me and dont take this as counter to what you have said).You can mail me if you want to say more which cant be said in the comment section.
      Your videos do have God's spirit(any believer can feel it after watching your video),which is also a very good reason why you should keep doing it and the Lord himself will show you if anything is wrong(he did it in my life just yesterday).

      I battled with that too (I'm 15). It depends. Is the music about sleeping with multiple people, being a hoe or gangster, killing people, drugs, sex before marriage, claiming to be a god...etc. Basically things that God is against or mocks God, then don't listen to it. When I came to Christ I was listening to such music and I didn't like to listen to most gospels because they were country music and I like pop, hip hop and R&B music. Then I stumbled across a Christian channel from Beckah Shae where she does covers of pop songs like from Demi Lovato, Alissia Carla, Dua lipa etc. and makes them into Christian songs and you have Hillsong and other gospels that aren't country music. I still listen to non Christian music but I choose wisely. Hope that helped.

    @thestoiccoach 8 лет назад +3

    I think one of the most exposing words that you said about your reason for believing is that you "feel" that the universe screams that a god exists. It's fine if you "feel" that such a being exists, but it has no place in the venue of ideas that are based off empiricism. I'm glad that you admit that there is no proof that he exists. I would go even further by saying there isn't even good evidence for his existence. The argument that you provide about the hut in the beginning of the video is another version of watchmaker analogy, which is a very famous argument. However, why choose a hut for the example? How about a grain of sand or a rock. Do those scream of design?

    • @FarAwayDistance
      @FarAwayDistance  8 лет назад +3

      Hi Bob! So the purpose of me saying "I feel" was because i was telling my testimony, so that was the best way for me to describe it! And I guess you're right about the hut thing, I definitely wasn't intentionally trying to use a different example to be malicious, that's just the way I had heard it before so I wanted to share that idea with others! And i actually do believe rocks & sand do scream of a creator as well. Every little thing on this earth looks incredible under a microscope; they always have so much detail! For me, that detail is the evidence for me that Someone else made it!
      I want you to know I respect your opinion even though we disagree! I would appreciate the same respect as well just because otherwise we would never get anywhere in sharing our thoughts. Have a good one!

    • @thestoiccoach

      In order to determine whether something is designed by an intelligence, we make comparisons between the thing in question and natural occurances. if we simply think that everything in the universe was designed (sand, water molecules, asteroids, rubber, etc.) then how can we ever make legitimate comparisons about anything? Complexity seems to not be a hallmark of design.
      Thanks for the kind response. I was a believer for the first 19 years of my life before I was exposed to a lot of different philosophies and criticisms of religion. I know the benefits of belief.
