    It's amazing to see how much your channel has grown Ali. I came across your videos 2-3 weeks into making my own and it's always been a gold standard. It's comforting to know that other creators feel the same sort of things I'm feeling as the channel grows and numbers get blown way out of proportion. I know you said you aren't "proud" of having a million subscribers but its an incredible achievement and I want to again say congratulations 🎉
    Keep doing your thing man, I'll catch you in Cambridge again soon! 🍀

Also, it's difficult to understand how people can hate him when he explains everything in such a rational and sensible way! Thanks, Ali for the wonderful videos, I hope you enjoy the process as much as I like watching them!

  • @Hallden_
    @Hallden_ 3 года назад +163

    I agree with pretty much 100% of what you are saying in the video. And the part at 16:00 about the course. I think courses are generally way undervalued. I haven't tried your course but was impressed by the steps you took to try to avoid this sort of criticism that you still got, and that I think is inevitable. People are just too used to things being free. But I also believe that the more people like you, Matt, Thomas etc start to make high quality to the point courses that sell quality over quantity, the more people will understand the value of a properly designed and executed course. But I also know the feeling of the 80 likes on a negative comment, which can even make you question things as obvious as which hand is your dominant one.

      Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah.

      From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
      Matthew 4:17 CSB
      “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
      Mark 1:15 CSB
      Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

      John 14:6 CSB
      For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.
      John 3:16 GNB
      bible.com/bible/296/jhn.3.16.GNB
      _Jesus_ actually died, *_GOD_* has _His blood_ as a sacrifice for your sins. *_GOD_* killed *_His_*_ Only Son_ for you. All your sins: sexual immorality (fornication, adultery(lust), homosexual sex, pornography) murder( hating someone, envying, abortion and killing someone) , theft( murder, lying, abuse, corruption, disrespect, racism) and idolatry (greed, love of money, worship of other gods and pride) can be forgiven only if you believe in _Jesus_; that __*_God_* sacrificed _Him_ for the atonement of all your sins, and that_*He*_ raised _Him_ up 3 days later. And now He sits on the Right Hand of *_The Father_*__, ruling over all creation as __*_Lord and Saviour_* of the world.
      Jesus Christ died for your sins, and only through Him you can be forgiven of all your sins.
      You only go to heaven because of faith and belief in The death and resurrection of _The Son of _*_God_* for the sins of the world.
      Hell is for those reject GOD'S Only Son, they will be burnt by the wrath of The Almighty God.
      Believe that all your sins are forgiven because of The Blood of Jesus, who is The Messiah, The Saviour.

      What does the Christian Bible say about Jesus?
      Let's find out:
      1- Jesus was born:
      As we all know, Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, and so this clearly shows Jesus cannot be God as being born means he was created and not eternal. God is eternal, He is forever, He always is, and He did not come into being or into existence.
      2- Jesus died:
      According to the gospels and Christianity, Jesus died, and this once again proves that he cannot be God, for God is eternal and does not die. God cannot die, to die is something for finite limited created beings, but God is obviously above that.
      3- Jesus was not all-knowing:
      In the gospels we learn that Jesus was not all-knowing, he had limited knowledge, and this again show he cannot be God as God is perfect in knowledge and knows everything. According to the Bible, Jesus did not know when the last hour would come: "But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36)Elsewhere in the Bible, we read that Jesus grew in wisdom, and learned about right and wrong as he got older, can you imagine that? God having to learn about good and bad?'And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.' (Luke 2:52)
      4- Jesus was a man:
      As we all know, Jesus was a man, and to put it simply, God is not a man. The fact that Jesus was a man proves he is not God. Being a man as we all know also comes with limitations, such as needing to eat, needing to sleep, and so on. God is obviously above all of that, He is all-powerful, and hence He does not need to eat or sleep. God is not in need of anything, while man is obviously in need of a lot. In the Bible we read about Jesus being hungry, can you imagine that, God, who created food, getting hungry?
      5- Jesus had a God:
      This is probably the most ironic point, but Jesus who is supposedly God, had a God. In the Bible we see Jesus talking about having a God, and praying to God, so was he praying to himself?'Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.' (John 20:16-18)So Jesus as we read above, has a God. Not only does Jesus have a God, but he also prays to God:'Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."' (Matthew 26:39)So if Jesus is God, why is he praying to God to relieve him of his distress? Does that make any rational sense?
      6- Jesus never said he was God:
      Now if Jesus was God, then you’d obviously expect him to say it, right? You’d expect Jesus to say “I am God”, or “I am God worship me the one who created you” or something similar along those lines.Yet when we read the Gospels, the supposed historical narratives of Jesus, they never once record him saying or calling himself God. Is it a coincidence that he never laid claim to being God? Of course not, the reason he never called himself God, is because he was not God.Conclusion:So we have given 6 clear reasons for why Jesus is not God, nobody can rationally or objectively look at these points and try to then reason that Jesus is God when we have such facts staring us right in the face.The evidence points to the obvious, Jesus was not God, but a man of God, and this is why the Bible itself says: "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know" (Acts 2:22)

    I couldn’t agree more. I am a young french law student and started doing RUclips videos a few months ago and every single new subscriber feels like i earned a million bucks even though i only have 144 hahaha I hope I will always remember this feeling if i ever have 1000+ subs. Love your content Ali. Thank you for everything

    Great job Ali! Really enjoy your videos and the growth of your channel has been interesting to see over the last several years. Remember “The first step in evaluating feedback is sizing up who it came from. You want feedback from people who care about you and what you do. Be extra wary of feedback from anybody who falls outside of that circle. A troll is a person who isn’t interested in improving your work, only provoking you with hateful, aggressive, or upsetting talk. You will gain nothing by engaging with these people. Don’t feed them, and they’ll usually go away.” Austin Kleon, Show your work.

    Gosh Ali you are just like too damn humble. I genuinely love all your content and learned how to be more productive and read more books than I ever have before subscribing to your channel. I literally agree with everything you said about being a content creator. I wish more people had the courage to put themselves out there. Im like nobody online and upload a video like once a year and I even get anxiety for no reason. I'm honestly so glad there are people like you that make these helpful and relatable videos because life sometimes just feel like you are the only one struggling through problems when really everyone in the world is struggling with problems and just need some help from the internet 🍀🍀🍀

      Good news!!!!!!!!!
      Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah.
      Acts 3:19‭-‬20 CSB
      From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
      Matthew 4:17 CSB
      “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
      Mark 1:15 CSB
      Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
      John 3:3‭, ‬5 CSB
      Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
      1 John 2:6 NIV
      1john.bible/1-john-2-6
      Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
      John 14:6 CSB
      For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.
      John 3:16 GNB
      bible.com/bible/296/jhn.3.16.GNB
      _Jesus_ actually died, *_GOD_* has _His blood_ as a sacrifice for your sins. *_GOD_* killed *_His_*_ Only Son_ for you. All your sins: sexual immorality (fornication, adultery(lust), homosexual sex, pornography) murder( hating someone, envying, abortion and killing someone) , theft( murder, lying, abuse, corruption, disrespect, racism) and idolatry (greed, love of money, worship of other gods and pride) can be forgiven only if you believe in _Jesus_; that __*_God_* sacrificed _Him_ for the atonement of all your sins, and that_*He*_ raised _Him_ up 3 days later. And now He sits on the Right Hand of *_The Father_*__, ruling over all creation as __*_Lord and Saviour_* of the world.
      Jesus Christ died for your sins, and only through Him you can be forgiven of all your sins.
      You only go to heaven because of faith and belief in The death and resurrection of _The Son of _*_God_* for the sins of the world.
      Hell is for those reject GOD'S Only Son, they will be burnt by the wrath of The Almighty God.
      Believe that all your sins are forgiven because of The Blood of Jesus, who is The Messiah, The Saviour.
      Repent, turn away from your sins and live because,
      *_Jesus Lives_*

    💪 a nod to the growing biceps 😂 thanks for your content Ali. I found you last year while deliberating over whether to get an iPad Pro and loved all of your productivity stuff. I suppose your channel growth in the last year has been so huge that people are fascinated by it. And people who get down on creators for charging for anything are clearly clueless as to the amount of thought and time it takes to create your free content or they wouldn’t begrudge you any financial success. They’re often people who wish they could be in your position but won’t devote themselves to it. Things are worth what people will pay for them and clearly people who know the value of what you do will pay. I’m sure the next million subscribers milestone is not far off!

Keep up the amazing work, and there is nothing wrong with turning your passion into one of your income streams. Some people will simply overlook the vast amount of free value from your content on RUclips, Not Overthinking, your blog, newsletter, etc. Appreciate the honesty and transparency.

    When I’m feeling low or sad about my work I watch your videos. You remind me to drop my ego that I work very hard to keep humble, to remember my hard graft over the years. To put my mind back onto working on, what I wish I could one day do full time.
    I hope one day I can have a following of 1 million for my artwork on any platform what an achievement. I assume you don’t like praise but your clever and strategically planned work has got you to were you are, luck is just opportunities meeting well prepared people and you do deserve every inch of this well done I’m saying. A way you could perhaps think of feeling proud is closing your eyes and asking past Ali to hold your gold plaque just for moment whilst you re assure him in his moments of confusion, in regards to being a doctor or RUclipsr that everything works out. Feel that sense of energy in his chest, that relief, the happiness. Your videos feel like the therapist business mentor I can’t afford. God bless you Ali and team!

    Hi Ali. It's the first time I'm commenting one of your video, whereas it's been maybe a year or so that I'm following you and appreciating every piece of content that you create. I have to say that this particular video confirmed the already obvious idea that you might be the nicest and kind-hearted human being on this planet Earth. The way you can make somebody (me for example) so emotional by talking deeply for 30 minutes, simply facing the camera, is really impressive. During these particular minutes you've given me the envy to create my own RUclips Channel too be able to talk heart to heart on different aspects of life and society that stop you from doing what you want to do. I won't forget to mention many times that you were and are an amazing source of motivation and creation for this future Yt channel. Thanks for everything Ali 🙏🏼
