Paul Washer Absolutely Scares Me Geez Laweez He’s Right On 100% Lord JESUS CHRIST PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS IM A SINNER MIGHTY JESUS HELP ME LORD PLEASE
Christ's Sacrifice and His Love never fails to encourage any tired Christian. Gospel opens up with new treasures every time we pass by it. God greatly bless Brother Paul Washer and his family and ministry, and may He supply all their needs
There are not many times where I have listened to a man give a sermon and then AS SOON as it has finished I want to IMMEDIATELY go back to the start of it and listen to it again! This is one such time
Well we love Christ, and right now we use this as our building, Mark Outing, whos testimony is on IBH, he was a former rapper, he owns fatty burger and let us meet here. But we are a rag tag group of broken people who rely solely on Christ... God help us and send Revival!
You do realize that when we Christians take the time to defend what we've said, answer your questions, and then get in return these kinds of trite mocking responses that deal with NONE of the issues we bring up that this proves we've done our jobs well. Its between you and the Lord now. Thank you.
And how could that happen? I had everything. I "knew" I was going to heaven. My God would not care if I sind, and even more, I did not care if I sind. How is that? How could I all of the sudden hate the sin I once loved, and love the God whom I once hated. How can that happen? I had no worries, non at all. Everything was perfect till I heard the true gospel. A fish dont know it is wet.
I was the only guy in the isle late after Sunday evening church playing with my little baby girls waiting for either you or Paul to finish ministering to people. I had already spoke to Paul earlier in the day and my wife & her family are close personal friends of his so I really had more interest in speaking with you and thanking you for your hard work. I also wanted to find out more about some stuff your doing these days.
Yes, My wife & I use to attend High Pointe (Before Juan Sanchez was pastor, I love him). My wife grew-up in that church so she has known Paul ever sense she was six. For the last 10 years we've been members of Dayspring Fellowship (w w w. dsf .o rg). My wife & I try to maintain a lot of contact w/ High Pointe but we love Dayspring.
Hello my name is Laura and I'm 15, and I have a wrong motivation for following Christ and right now I'm having trouble with the selfish motive of escaping hell, and have a very small desire (or none) to have a relationship with God, and I need help. (I'm currently unsaved but want to be saved) but I don't truly understand my sins and I want to be truly saved and truly repent (which a lot of ppl have a different opinion on what repentance is) I'm empty and I have selfish motives (like escaping hell) which make me think that if I have these motives then I won't truly find God and I need help because I'm also not desperate for God and I need help to seek God wholeheartedly...
Hello my name is not Laura and I'm not 15, and I have gone through and continue to struggle with similar experiences. I have never had enough faith to feel the joy of Christ fully or to be completely convinced I'm saved. I've never told this story before but maybe it can be helpful for you. I decided to become a Christian one night when I was awfully afraid and convicted and knew I was going to hell. Christ, sin, and repentance were hardly in the picture as I had grown up thinking of eternity as two different roads you can choose to live, not understanding the gospel. I did my best to get right with God and decided I was going to quit doing a few things I thought might be wrong. The next morning I woke up, was struck with fear, lost all faith, and had a top 10 worst day of my life. Did all the stuff I planned to quit. Didn't tell anyone about my decision. Didn't even know if I was saved. Over the next few months, I tried to do what I thought God wanted me to and went through some very painful experiences. Never knew if I was truly saved. Even at my baptism 9 months later, I don't believe I was fully convinced of my salvation. I tried to muster up assurance in the moment, and did better for a few days. Over the next several months, things got much better. I vowed to read the Bible in a year(2022), and had more of a passion for God. Started watching Christian videos, sermons, etc. I was convicted of sin in my life and did a lot to get right with God and people around me. Worst and best time of my life. A month ago, I realized I don't even have a relationship with God Himself. I vowed to pray 30 mins every day, and had a great few weeks. Until I started to be convicted of things that were very hard to deal with, and doubt crept back in. Now I'm in a time of apathy and doubt, but I have decided I'm simply going to trust Christ and continue to spend as much time as I can force myself to with Him every day. But I still struggle with thoughts of being a false convert and all that. To more specifically address your comment: We need to see hell as a part of the gospel. need the bad news(our sin and standing with God) to care for the good news. I would encourage you to step out in faith and repent of your sins, turn away from them, focus solely on Christ and trust in Him for salvation. If you can't force yourself, just pray and wrestle with God until you know your saved. You won't be truly desperate for God and His communion until you're right with Him, born again("from above"). Once you're born again, you will receive new desires and passions. It might be gradual. Don't condemn yourself if you don't feel much interest in God after a few days or weeks. The Christian walk, especially in these dark days, is one of constantly fighting doubt and confusion nearly as much as fighting sin itself. I will pray for you for as long as I can remember. this is the longest comment I've ever written xD
TALK TO JESUS, READ HIS WORD THE BIBLE, SEEK HIM AND DON'T STOP. LISTEN TO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS✝️🙂. WE NEED JESUS MORE THAN ANYBODY OR ANYTHING ELSE. MATTHEW 7:7-8
@@chrisgraham9773 I am afraid of my desires, I want to truly desire what you said but I don't know if I do, it sounds weird and stupid to say but I am afraid of deceiving myself that's why....
Paul Sir You Sir Are Absolutely Brilliant I Can Feel Every Word You Say - SIR IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME ? HOW ON Earth DO I MAKE IT INTO HEAVEN ? WHAT DO I DO I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT HOW DO I JUST MAKE IT INTO HEAVEN ???
Yes, I believe you're right. Maybe I should just make a video about all the research I've done on all the many mocker's who come to Christian videos. I have yet to find a single one of them that isn't an apostate. I was doing a word study through Hebrews and found the word "evil" in Heb 3:12 is a communicable multiplying evil, an evil that seeks to bring others along for the ride. If these men are apostates and this is the evil they seek to propagate then its hard not to want to chase them off.
And who makes up a god where there are laws to obey? If I were going to make a god, I would make a god who fit me. I did that, it did not work out though. Eventualy I got to the point where I realized that he would make me fit Him.
"But if anyone causes another one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown out into the ocean with a large millstone tied around the neck." Mark 9:42 NLT
So, u don't find it the least bit hypocritical to take your misunderstandings and accuse me of being quarrelsome, not seeing u have become contentious with me? Here, in front of unbelievers? Do u not see the blatant contradiction in your thinking to argue with me about not arguing? R u saying that Jesus didn't debate? Of coarse He did & He was so good & so right in His responses that not much was ever said back to Him but that sill doesn't mean He wasn't engaging in sound biblical argumentation.
??? Which post is this in response to? I think I'm the only person who has used the term "we" in any of the preceding posts. Certainly you're not talking to me or your seriously misunderstanding something?? I don't know what?
As a Athiestic Materialist u want definitive "proof" for the God of the Bible & yet your conscience keeps wispering to u ur guilt & shame over ur sin. What motives do u have for watching such Christian videos? U hate the 1 true God & yet u keep coming to videos like this? That is an amazing confirmation of scripture's testimony about human depravity. U KNOW ur own selfawareness presupposes ur awareness of God. Even ur own natrualistic materialism teaches u this, life doesn't come from none life
I JUST ADMIT IT THE MORE I LISING TO PAUL WASHER THE MORE I COME TO THIS CONCLUSION I JUST DONT KNOW JESUS I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO LIVE A CRISTIAN LIFE I KNOW VERRY LITTE ABOUT REPENTANCE I KNOW VERRY LITTLE ABOUT JESUS THE ? IS WHAT CAN I WHO IS SO OFF BASE DO CUS I JUST DONT GET IT I TRY TO MAKE A HEAED WAY FORWARD BUT MY ATEMTS FAIL SO MUCH JESUS HELP ME I AM NOT STRONG IN U I AM VERRY WEAK I CONFESS IT
And did u know they have videos & blogs setup to encourage each other in getting "christian" converts to atheism? (Of coarse no truly saved person will loose their faith but they can be tripped up and caused to stumble)
A rebuke would require at least some exposition of scripture, which u have not done. Debate, laying down the weight of scripture with regard to sin, answering lost peoples questions, defending the flock are, all biblical. I stand w/ the likes of Jesus, Paul, Justin Martyr, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Spurgeon, Sproul, Bahnsen, etc. in contending earnestly for the Faith. MANY former atheists have come to saving Faith in Christ through firm debate & a proper understanding of 2 Cor 10:5.
No Aaron637 defending the Faith (Jude 3), preaching the gospel and 2 Cor 10:5"We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" Do you not see the importance of defending the faith, protecting God's people from these wolves and show love through truth to this lost atheist? Have you seriously read ALL of my posts here in response to Pablo113?
Although i agree with some of things that Paul Washer says but I do not agree that we are pure evil, because we were created in the image of God so we have part of God already but we choose to turn away from it while some of us choose to hold on to some part (which we call moralism) and we "know" that it is good. But at the same time we choose to hold on to the selfish (Romans 5-7) because it gives us what we think we want.
@mfentruck Well said. I don't think these B.A. Christians realize the trap they set for themselves. So overwhelming is the evidence for evolution that to continue to deny it is like denying gravity. To be fair, these days most Christians actually do accept evolution, (the reasonable, moderate ones at least).
Why are you arguing with him even if he is. he is an anti-christ whoever denies the Christ - 1 John 2. Contentions are a work of the flesh - Galatians 5. Jesus did not sit and argue with people like this...he said father forgive them. All argument and contention is based on pride. Let the blind lead the blind Jesus said. Leave them be. Contention is not from the Holy Spirit. Turn the cheek, God will avenge Himself. No argument wins people only the Spirit of God.
An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel. - proverbs 18:19. Your words are doing much harm and no good. Are you saying these things because you love this guy and honestly want to see his conversion...or because you want to be right. If you want to be right that is pride. repent and apologise, even pray for him.
Keep telling yourself that. Either you're not human or you are in a desperate race to keep suppressing you guilt & shame over sinning before a Holy God.
Again you demonstrate a false understanding of the "faith" you abandoned. The Gospel = I (a guilty sinner) am already saved & accepted by God through Christ therefore, I serve Him. False religion = I serve Him and try to please Him so that I will be saved and accepted by Him. BIG DIFFERENCE!
gary...what is your problem? what is your point on here? The point of the message is for Christians--if your on here to try to discourage those that are- don't do it---the Bible says it would be better to throw a milstone around your neck and toss yourself into the sea than to mess with one of God's Children- repent and believe in Christ! That is what it is about- your comments you are making are proving Washer's points about carnal wicked man.
@xisaiahx43 Depends on what you mean by "accident"? Such terms are contextual to human activity and used to describe unintended outcomes of human actions. To use this word "accident" to describe naturally occurring phenomena is a gross misapplication of it's meaning and a complete disregard for it's context. Terms like "naturally occurring", "natural selection", "adaptation", even happenstance are far more accurate descriptors of the extremely gradual processes that result in life as we know it.
If there is no thing as Sin, did Hitler do the right thing, or the wrong thing? And who decides if anything is good or bad anyway? And a fairy tale usualy starts with 20 billion years ago, in the midst of existance: big bang. No I'm sorry, it is once upon a time, far far away, right? And if this is jsut a fairy tale, how come people are still dying for this like I said in my other comments`?
@xisaiahx43 Well, science doesn't exactly state that matter came out of absolutely nothing, (remember the law of conservation), only that the big bang is consistent with the present state of the universe. What other states exist for the universe is only speculated---dark matter, singularity, a two dimensional realm, a state between energy and matter, are some hypotheses. Realize also, you have the much more onerous task of explaining the existence of a deity you presume "created" the universe.
@sicstyl You can proclaim your cult is true all you want--it's not convincing in the least--it's not the same as demonstrating or proving it true. You are captured by it to the point where you don't question it. But it's primitive origins (a time and place gripped by superstition and fear) and it's manipulative tactics are exactly what I would expect from primitive men, not an omniscient deity.
He shows no sign of being offended. It gets confusing on youtube after a series of people all respond to the same posts, all but 2 of my previous post (not counting you) r directed at Pablo. I've seen countless baby Christians stumble in their faith or need hard questions answered b/c these atheists go trolling for it. They MUST be silenced & answered. Its easier to chance them off before they get started.
My brother...I rebuked you...I am not contending with you. to contened would to go on in argument. I have said what i believe needs to be said and will leave it at that. Paul rebuked Peter in acts.....Jesus rebuked Peter saying "get behind me Satan, you are not mindful of the things of God". We are told to rebuke if it is necessary...I don't do it often. Jesus and Paul were not contentious, they desired the best for their brother/disciple. There is no animosity between you and I.
I ADMIT SO MUCH OF WHAT I ONES WAS HAS BEEN STRIPED AWAY ALL THE BIBLE KNOLAGE PREACHING BOLD STATEMENTS TRYING TO OBSTAIN FROME WORLD THINGS HAVE BEEN STRIPED AWAY AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IN MY LIFE IS A DRYNESS THAT SHOULD BE MORE FRIGHTING TO ME BUT IT ISNT IT SHOULD SCARE ME BUT IT DOESNT what is gods will for my life i dont know i know this im losing it
But when a man knows the law & sins willfully there is not forgiveness hebrews 646.if y’all ever wondered why god does not allow the fallen angels back is because they know the laws & chose to break them.a man that is to uphold the law but breaks it instead it is him that should be most afraid & rightfully so.
I don't know man...no comment here. Baby Christians shouldn't enter into discussions like this to begin with. They need a good foundation in the scriptures...before they can even develop an opinion let alone express it.
@sicstyl God dosn't move people--for "god" is in your imagination. Even if there were a god, the Judeo-christian (Abrahamic god) is among the most absurd of all to believe in. In most cases belief usually stems from unquestioning acceptance brought on by childhood indoctrination. For others others--it's an emotional need that subverts their rational mind--which is why some "accept Jeezuz" even though they know nothing of the bible. Just irrational, blind faith characteristic of all religions.
You say that Jesus Christ is a fictional character. That upsets me, but I'll try to stay com, cuz vengeance belongs to the Lord. Here I am, simply trying to know more, and than you come along and say that the one I have faith in, is nothing more than a fiction. I don't know if you have read the fine print of this book, but this Jesus is supost to cost you your life. More revealed in the early ages, when christianity was a capital offende. To be continued.
Sir, you have ZERO discernment in this situation with atheists and Pablo113 and I doubt seriously you could have read all of my responses to Pablo and not see how badly he needs to hear what I said to him. Why don't you take your two posts and use them as mirrors reflected back at you and ask yourself who is causing "much harm and no good".
And what more is, it comes from a man, from a poor family, without any official religious training at all, and he was publicli exicuted. This inthre idea should just have died at its birth place, were it not that the Holy Spirit were involved.
What you need to see it that its not Pablo I care as much about as the Brother's and sister's he aims his demonic poison at. Debate & apologetics r for the edification of the body, not atheists. If Pablo was at my front door & no other Christians where around I would simply give him the gospel & a apologetics websites to look at (if he were really looking for the truth, which he is not). No need for debate. But here, with countless brothers reading along, I will not stand for Pablo's antics.
Thousands if not millions were burned for beliving in Christ. If you want to find some reason for these people to do what they did (belive) other than what Christ said was correct, good luck. No one is that stupid as going to belive in something that will cost them their life, right? And what is more, this one religion is the problem of the religious world. If we would just change "The Way" to "a way" everything would be fine. Christianity contredicts every other religion and culture. Tobecontin
U give away a LOT of info about yourself through what u've say here. Let me tell u about yourself. Probably through very bad preaching at a sub-biblical church u came to misunderstand superficial intellectual accent to certain propositions about Christ as "saving faith". It is not. You must be born again through hearing what Paul Washer says in this video. There is still hope for u and there are a LOT of great ministries that can help u unravel the intellectual pretzel of Darwinian materialism.
Let me turn your empty statements around on you. "Its people like YOU that are responsible for the bloodiest century in the history of mankind, GET OVER IT! Jesus kicked Darwin's butt b/c Darwin is DEAD. You are proving original sin with every word you type and yet Jesus is offering you His salvation." You are an apostate aren't you?
@KyleMullaney Things are seemingly complex and there is much we don't know, so you think it logical to insert an infinite, omniscient, conscious "god" that just wills everything into existence? This is no answer for it explains nothing--you may as well declare "magic". You are just substituting mystery with a much bigger mystery. So you insert (project) into gaps in human knowledge a speculation rooted in primitive belief systems not based on evidence and fact, but on faith and wishful thinking.
@KyleMullaney Are you that blind to the circularity of your logic? Your argument is entirely based on a an unproven assumption that your god already exists and that the bible is true. Basic logic does not allow you to use that which is unproven as a basis for claiming anything more. Has your belief system so crippled your faculties of reason that cannot see this? I have posited there is no evidence for the existence of your god; It is you who who attempts to define god, not me.

If you die in your sins, you will find yourself in a terrible place called Hell, but there is good news. Although we broke God's law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross (He took on the guilt of our sins, without committing any himself, God turned away from Jesus and released his wrath on him, thus paying our fine, he took the punishment we deserve : "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). . Then Jesus rose from the dead (on the 3rd day, proving that what he did is enough, that God is satisfied with what he did (what he did paid our debt) , through the resurrection he defeated death) was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Saviour. Please repent of your sins today and trust Jesus. God will forgive you and give you the gift of Eternal Life (Ephesians 2: 8-9).

@xisaiahx43 Your assertions are groundless because they are supported by nothing except a book of primitive mythology. The stories and claims contained within are ludicrous---they contradict science, reason and believability. The atheists are correct and you are deluded. Washer is an especially repugnant zealot, a hater of mankind and his happiness on Earth. The evil is all on your side.
How consistent are you in your trite little attempts to mock? Do you do this to Muslims? Believers in Santa Clause? No, Pablo113, you don't do you? I'm willing to bet that you (like 99% of the other atheist mockers who troll Christian videos) are an apostate. Here to try an soothe your own twisted & seared conscience in a sick attempt to tell yourself "I know I'm right in abandoning my "faith" in Christ".
@hottcartoonist "preaching" I can refute PW all I want - and I will, but I assure you it is not because "I know he is right" On the contrary - I know he talks nonsense. We live on earth; if we want to feel good, we help people and laugh as much as we want. We do not fear a mythical, wrathful god and look to another myth for help against it. We are not born evil, we are just born. When we die, (fortunately) that is the end; we go back to the stars. The world is wonderful, but there is no magic.
@sicstyl It is your biblical belief that is not backed by evidence since it derives from a 2000 year old collection of sand scripts filled with absurd fables and myths used to control the ignorant peasants. It's funny that you throw descriptions on others that directly apply to you. You are like the fat man who calls everyone else fat. The problem with deluded people is you don't know you are deluded. And don't pretend to speak for atheists, it only demonstrates your mind numbing ignorance.
@sicstyl Don't try to vilify me you sanctimonious ass-wipe. You know nothing of me or what I believe and your presumptuous accusations about those who don't wallow in your cultist dementia are just programmed into you by your cult. When you make hell threats, you are throwing at people the most diabolical and offensive of all the Christian delusions--such threats use fear as a tool of manipulation. Such tactics warrant derision and insult to stop you in your tracks.
@sicstyl Your credulity knows no limits--but then I don't expect logical thinking or the ability to tell reality from fantasy from born again whack jobs. What the fuck do you know about truth when you wallow in the pus bucket of bronze age ignorance. Now before you issue your vile hell threats like a typical born again robot--remember they don't work on rational people--only cultified zealots and other slave-sheep who worship assholes like PW.
@sicstyl Any names you get are richly deserved. I'm getting bloody fed up with people like you who use hell threats (which are far more offensive than names and insults). If you want to me to come out swinging... just try it. Expressing anger or vulgarity is quite appropriate at times and my fuse is very short when it comes to sanctimonious preachy assholes like PW and yourself. I don't think you realize how deeply offensive your religion is to some people.
@TanjaEubanks Zzzzz. Your infanticidal god is not one to submit to in any shape, manner or form. Get real. As for the "heathen" reference for non-believers, self-serving names whose purpose is only to insult those who reject wicked gods, are rather entertaining, not to say utterly pathetic. :)
This bastard doesn't bring people to Christianity, he repulses them with his venom filled hatred for the human species. Ever wonder why the growth of atheism and the strong contempt for Christianity in particular--it's because of odious zealots like this acting as it's spokesmen.

This is one such time
In acordance with God's Will. For God's Glory. And out of God's Love. We're Redeemed In Christ Alone! Praise our Awesome God!
Well we love Christ, and right now we use this as our building, Mark Outing, whos testimony is on IBH, he was a former rapper, he owns fatty burger and let us meet here. But we are a rag tag group of broken people who rely solely on Christ... God help us and send Revival!
I'm upset that I had to miss brother Paul Speaking. Thank you for making it available.

And how could that happen? I had everything. I "knew" I was going to heaven. My God would not care if I sind, and even more, I did not care if I sind. How is that? How could I all of the sudden hate the sin I once loved, and love the God whom I once hated. How can that happen? I had no worries, non at all. Everything was perfect till I heard the true gospel. A fish dont know it is wet.
I'll serve Jesus and worship Him even if I do go to hell, simply because He is worthy.

Amazing message !
It is better to have a 60-70 year life a living hell than an eternity in hell!

Hello my name is Laura and I'm 15, and I have a wrong motivation for following Christ and right now I'm having trouble with the selfish motive of escaping hell, and have a very small desire (or none) to have a relationship with God, and I need help. (I'm currently unsaved but want to be saved) but I don't truly understand my sins and I want to be truly saved and truly repent (which a lot of ppl have a different opinion on what repentance is) I'm empty and I have selfish motives (like escaping hell) which make me think that if I have these motives then I won't truly find God and I need help because I'm also not desperate for God and I need help to seek God wholeheartedly...
Hello my name is not Laura and I'm not 15, and I have gone through and continue to struggle with similar experiences. I have never had enough faith to feel the joy of Christ fully or to be completely convinced I'm saved. I've never told this story before but maybe it can be helpful for you. I decided to become a Christian one night when I was awfully afraid and convicted and knew I was going to hell. Christ, sin, and repentance were hardly in the picture as I had grown up thinking of eternity as two different roads you can choose to live, not understanding the gospel. I did my best to get right with God and decided I was going to quit doing a few things I thought might be wrong. The next morning I woke up, was struck with fear, lost all faith, and had a top 10 worst day of my life. Did all the stuff I planned to quit. Didn't tell anyone about my decision. Didn't even know if I was saved. Over the next few months, I tried to do what I thought God wanted me to and went through some very painful experiences. Never knew if I was truly saved. Even at my baptism 9 months later, I don't believe I was fully convinced of my salvation. I tried to muster up assurance in the moment, and did better for a few days. Over the next several months, things got much better. I vowed to read the Bible in a year(2022), and had more of a passion for God. Started watching Christian videos, sermons, etc. I was convicted of sin in my life and did a lot to get right with God and people around me. Worst and best time of my life. A month ago, I realized I don't even have a relationship with God Himself. I vowed to pray 30 mins every day, and had a great few weeks. Until I started to be convicted of things that were very hard to deal with, and doubt crept back in. Now I'm in a time of apathy and doubt, but I have decided I'm simply going to trust Christ and continue to spend as much time as I can force myself to with Him every day. But I still struggle with thoughts of being a false convert and all that.
To more specifically address your comment: We need to see hell as a part of the gospel. need the bad news(our sin and standing with God) to care for the good news. I would encourage you to step out in faith and repent of your sins, turn away from them, focus solely on Christ and trust in Him for salvation. If you can't force yourself, just pray and wrestle with God until you know your saved. You won't be truly desperate for God and His communion until you're right with Him, born again("from above"). Once you're born again, you will receive new desires and passions. It might be gradual. Don't condemn yourself if you don't feel much interest in God after a few days or weeks. The Christian walk, especially in these dark days, is one of constantly fighting doubt and confusion nearly as much as fighting sin itself. I will pray for you for as long as I can remember.
this is the longest comment I've ever written xD
If you truly desire God to save you and cry out, he'll grant it to you if you actually desire it.
TALK TO JESUS, READ HIS WORD THE BIBLE, SEEK HIM AND DON'T STOP. LISTEN TO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS✝️🙂. WE NEED JESUS MORE THAN ANYBODY OR ANYTHING ELSE. MATTHEW 7:7-8
@@chrisgraham9773 I am afraid of my desires, I want to truly desire what you said but I don't know if I do, it sounds weird and stupid to say but I am afraid of deceiving myself that's why....
@@GMan7418 Then you must test and examine yourself in scriptures. Read 1 John 1 it helps alot with discerning the deceived from the saved.
I got out at 7pm. I was told that it would be crowded. I tried to get out before 7pm, but my supervisor wouldn't let me.
Praise our MESSIAH Y'SHUA. Amen.
Wonderful sermon. Haha..I couldn't stop staring at the Dr. Pepper sign above his head. o.0
@Zenkuja75 God will give you strength so fight your temptations. its not a once and for all thing. its a daily and constant struggle. Be strong.
Paul Sir You Sir Are Absolutely Brilliant I Can Feel Every Word You Say - SIR IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME ? HOW ON Earth DO I MAKE IT INTO HEAVEN ? WHAT DO I DO I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT HOW DO I JUST MAKE IT INTO HEAVEN ???
Yes, I believe you're right. Maybe I should just make a video about all the research I've done on all the many mocker's who come to Christian videos. I have yet to find a single one of them that isn't an apostate. I was doing a word study through Hebrews and found the word "evil" in Heb 3:12 is a communicable multiplying evil, an evil that seeks to bring others along for the ride. If these men are apostates and this is the evil they seek to propagate then its hard not to want to chase them off.
And who makes up a god where there are laws to obey? If I were going to make a god, I would make a god who fit me. I did that, it did not work out though. Eventualy I got to the point where I realized that he would make me fit Him.
"But if anyone causes another one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown out into the ocean with a large millstone tied around the neck." Mark 9:42 NLT
Was this from Monday after he left Austin? I tried to meet you after the Sunday night service but you were VERY busy.
I think you might have misunderstood something I said??? Is this a correction to something you think I said wrong?
Gary....?
He sure looks like a Gary I know hahaha
So, u don't find it the least bit hypocritical to take your misunderstandings and accuse me of being quarrelsome, not seeing u have become contentious with me? Here, in front of unbelievers? Do u not see the blatant contradiction in your thinking to argue with me about not arguing? R u saying that Jesus didn't debate? Of coarse He did & He was so good & so right in His responses that not much was ever said back to Him but that sill doesn't mean He wasn't engaging in sound biblical argumentation.
Well mate. I completely agree with you. I guess it was just a misunderstanding. Apologies. Be blessed brother.
Which isn't to say we don't love High Pointe too but you know what I mean ;-)
how is he manipulating?
Dr. Pepper should have to pay for advertising in this video!
??? Which post is this in response to? I think I'm the only person who has used the term "we" in any of the preceding posts. Certainly you're not talking to me or your seriously misunderstanding something?? I don't know what?
As a Athiestic Materialist u want definitive "proof" for the God of the Bible & yet your conscience keeps wispering to u ur guilt & shame over ur sin. What motives do u have for watching such Christian videos? U hate the 1 true God & yet u keep coming to videos like this? That is an amazing confirmation of scripture's testimony about human depravity. U KNOW ur own selfawareness presupposes ur awareness of God. Even ur own natrualistic materialism teaches u this, life doesn't come from none life
@Dwrancho144 mmmm before I go to scripture to show how the lake of fire is eternal, do you even believe in God and heaven and the Bible?
I JUST ADMIT IT THE MORE I LISING TO PAUL WASHER THE MORE I COME TO THIS CONCLUSION I JUST DONT KNOW JESUS I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO LIVE A CRISTIAN LIFE I KNOW VERRY LITTE ABOUT REPENTANCE I KNOW VERRY LITTLE ABOUT JESUS THE ? IS WHAT CAN I WHO IS SO OFF BASE DO CUS I JUST DONT GET IT I TRY TO MAKE A HEAED WAY FORWARD BUT MY ATEMTS FAIL SO MUCH JESUS HELP ME I AM NOT STRONG IN U I AM VERRY WEAK I CONFESS IT
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ" brought to you by Dr Pepper lol
Peace...I'm not carrying this on as I said. each to there own. I used to hold a similar position as you.
He drank an eternity of Hell ? that's a big glass
And did u know they have videos & blogs setup to encourage each other in getting "christian" converts to atheism? (Of coarse no truly saved person will loose their faith but they can be tripped up and caused to stumble)
A rebuke would require at least some exposition of scripture, which u have not done. Debate, laying down the weight of scripture with regard to sin, answering lost peoples questions, defending the flock are, all biblical. I stand w/ the likes of Jesus, Paul, Justin Martyr, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Spurgeon, Sproul, Bahnsen, etc. in contending earnestly for the Faith. MANY former atheists have come to saving Faith in Christ through firm debate & a proper understanding of 2 Cor 10:5.
I coulnd't pray with distractions even if its Christian music.
No Aaron637 defending the Faith (Jude 3), preaching the gospel and 2 Cor 10:5"We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ"
Do you not see the importance of defending the faith, protecting God's people from these wolves and show love through truth to this lost atheist? Have you seriously read ALL of my posts here in response to Pablo113?
Although i agree with some of things that Paul Washer says but I do not agree that we are pure evil, because we were created in the image of God so we have part of God already but we choose to turn away from it while some of us choose to hold on to some part (which we call moralism) and we "know" that it is good. But at the same time we choose to hold on to the selfish (Romans 5-7) because it gives us what we think we want.
@mfentruck Well said. I don't think these B.A. Christians realize the trap they set for themselves. So overwhelming is the evidence for evolution that to continue to deny it is like denying gravity. To be fair, these days most Christians actually do accept evolution, (the reasonable, moderate ones at least).
Why are you arguing with him even if he is. he is an anti-christ whoever denies the Christ - 1 John 2. Contentions are a work of the flesh - Galatians 5. Jesus did not sit and argue with people like this...he said father forgive them. All argument and contention is based on pride. Let the blind lead the blind Jesus said. Leave them be. Contention is not from the Holy Spirit. Turn the cheek, God will avenge Himself. No argument wins people only the Spirit of God.
An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel. - proverbs 18:19. Your words are doing much harm and no good. Are you saying these things because you love this guy and honestly want to see his conversion...or because you want to be right. If you want to be right that is pride. repent and apologise, even pray for him.
Keep telling yourself that. Either you're not human or you are in a desperate race to keep suppressing you guilt & shame over sinning before a Holy God.
Again you demonstrate a false understanding of the "faith" you abandoned.
The Gospel = I (a guilty sinner) am already saved & accepted by God through Christ therefore, I serve Him.
False religion = I serve Him and try to please Him so that I will be saved and accepted by Him.
BIG DIFFERENCE!
gary...what is your problem? what is your point on here? The point of the message is for Christians--if your on here to try to discourage those that are- don't do it---the Bible says it would be better to throw a milstone around your neck and toss yourself into the sea than to mess with one of God's Children- repent and believe in Christ! That is what it is about- your comments you are making are proving Washer's points about carnal wicked man.
@xisaiahx43 Depends on what you mean by "accident"? Such terms are contextual to human activity and used to describe unintended outcomes of human actions. To use this word "accident" to describe naturally occurring phenomena is a gross misapplication of it's meaning and a complete disregard for it's context.
Terms like "naturally occurring", "natural selection", "adaptation", even happenstance are far more accurate descriptors of the extremely gradual processes that result in life as we know it.
If there is no thing as Sin, did Hitler do the right thing, or the wrong thing? And who decides if anything is good or bad anyway? And a fairy tale usualy starts with 20 billion years ago, in the midst of existance: big bang. No I'm sorry, it is once upon a time, far far away, right? And if this is jsut a fairy tale, how come people are still dying for this like I said in my other comments`?
Even so, your posts probably are valid....but to continue to drag it on when the guy is offended is futile.
@xisaiahx43 Well, science doesn't exactly state that matter came out of absolutely nothing, (remember the law of conservation), only that the big bang is consistent with the present state of the universe. What other states exist for the universe is only speculated---dark matter, singularity, a two dimensional realm, a state between energy and matter, are some hypotheses.
Realize also, you have the much more onerous task of explaining the existence of a deity you presume "created" the universe.
@sicstyl You can proclaim your cult is true all you want--it's not convincing in the least--it's not the same as demonstrating or proving it true. You are captured by it to the point where you don't question it. But it's primitive origins (a time and place gripped by superstition and fear) and it's manipulative tactics are exactly what I would expect from primitive men, not an omniscient deity.
Ill be honest, you have to disallow Garythedog's comments!
He shows no sign of being offended. It gets confusing on youtube after a series of people all respond to the same posts, all but 2 of my previous post (not counting you) r directed at Pablo. I've seen countless baby Christians stumble in their faith or need hard questions answered b/c these atheists go trolling for it. They MUST be silenced & answered. Its easier to chance them off before they get started.
16:20 "The Lord smelled the soothing aroma....." Yahweh has a nose? Who knew?
My brother...I rebuked you...I am not contending with you. to contened would to go on in argument. I have said what i believe needs to be said and will leave it at that. Paul rebuked Peter in acts.....Jesus rebuked Peter saying "get behind me Satan, you are not mindful of the things of God". We are told to rebuke if it is necessary...I don't do it often. Jesus and Paul were not contentious, they desired the best for their brother/disciple. There is no animosity between you and I.
I ADMIT SO MUCH OF WHAT I ONES WAS HAS BEEN STRIPED AWAY ALL THE BIBLE KNOLAGE PREACHING BOLD STATEMENTS TRYING TO OBSTAIN FROME WORLD THINGS HAVE BEEN STRIPED AWAY AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IN MY LIFE IS A DRYNESS THAT SHOULD BE MORE FRIGHTING TO ME BUT IT ISNT IT SHOULD SCARE ME BUT IT DOESNT what is gods will for my life i dont know i know this im losing it
lol. Relax my christian brothers/sisters. At least this is better than some atheist trolling lol
But when a man knows the law & sins willfully there is not forgiveness hebrews 646.if y’all ever wondered why god does not allow the fallen angels back is because they know the laws & chose to break them.a man that is to uphold the law but breaks it instead it is him that should be most afraid & rightfully so.
I don't know man...no comment here. Baby Christians shouldn't enter into discussions like this to begin with. They need a good foundation in the scriptures...before they can even develop an opinion let alone express it.
@Frelayer lol
I tried that too and got worse than before...
@sicstyl God dosn't move people--for "god" is in your imagination. Even if there were a god, the Judeo-christian (Abrahamic god) is among the most absurd of all to believe in. In most cases belief usually stems from unquestioning acceptance brought on by childhood indoctrination. For others others--it's an emotional need that subverts their rational mind--which is why some "accept Jeezuz" even though they know nothing of the bible. Just irrational, blind faith characteristic of all religions.
You say that Jesus Christ is a fictional character. That upsets me, but I'll try to stay com, cuz vengeance belongs to the Lord. Here I am, simply trying to know more, and than you come along and say that the one I have faith in, is nothing more than a fiction. I don't know if you have read the fine print of this book, but this Jesus is supost to cost you your life. More revealed in the early ages, when christianity was a capital offende. To be continued.
Sir, you have ZERO discernment in this situation with atheists and Pablo113 and I doubt seriously you could have read all of my responses to Pablo and not see how badly he needs to hear what I said to him. Why don't you take your two posts and use them as mirrors reflected back at you and ask yourself who is causing "much harm and no good".
" BEWARE OF ANGRY WATCHMEN" SEARCH IT NOW!!!
???
And what more is, it comes from a man, from a poor family, without any official religious training at all, and he was publicli exicuted. This inthre idea should just have died at its birth place, were it not that the Holy Spirit were involved.
@sicstyl No, I'd put Islam as more offensive because it edges out Christianity in it's barbarism it it also threatens eternal torture
What you need to see it that its not Pablo I care as much about as the Brother's and sister's he aims his demonic poison at. Debate & apologetics r for the edification of the body, not atheists. If Pablo was at my front door & no other Christians where around I would simply give him the gospel & a apologetics websites to look at (if he were really looking for the truth, which he is not). No need for debate. But here, with countless brothers reading along, I will not stand for Pablo's antics.
Thousands if not millions were burned for beliving in Christ. If you want to find some reason for these people to do what they did (belive) other than what Christ said was correct, good luck. No one is that stupid as going to belive in something that will cost them their life, right? And what is more, this one religion is the problem of the religious world. If we would just change "The Way" to "a way" everything would be fine. Christianity contredicts every other religion and culture. Tobecontin
no, I'm worse than Hitler.
The. Flee to Christ
U give away a LOT of info about yourself through what u've say here. Let me tell u about yourself. Probably through very bad preaching at a sub-biblical church u came to misunderstand superficial intellectual accent to certain propositions about Christ as "saving faith". It is not. You must be born again through hearing what Paul Washer says in this video. There is still hope for u and there are a LOT of great ministries that can help u unravel the intellectual pretzel of Darwinian materialism.
Let me turn your empty statements around on you.
"Its people like YOU that are responsible for the bloodiest century in the history of mankind, GET OVER IT! Jesus kicked Darwin's butt b/c Darwin is DEAD. You are proving original sin with every word you type and yet Jesus is offering you His salvation."
You are an apostate aren't you?
@KyleMullaney Things are seemingly complex and there is much we don't know, so you think it logical to insert an infinite, omniscient, conscious "god" that just wills everything into existence?
This is no answer for it explains nothing--you may as well declare "magic".
You are just substituting mystery with a much bigger mystery. So you insert (project) into gaps in human knowledge a speculation rooted in primitive belief systems not based on evidence and fact, but on faith and wishful thinking.
hubba hula hoop
@KyleMullaney Are you that blind to the circularity of your logic? Your argument is entirely based on a an unproven assumption that your god already exists and that the bible is true. Basic logic does not allow you to use that which is unproven as a basis for claiming anything more.
Has your belief system so crippled your faculties of reason that cannot see this?
I have posited there is no evidence for the existence of your god; It is you who who attempts to define god, not me.
- [ ] The earth is proof of God (The Almighty Creator), just like a painting is proof of a painter, and a building proof of a builder, plus for the world to not have a creator, nature would have to create it self, which is scientifically impossible, therefore the earth has a Creator with no beginning and no endMILLION DOLLAR QUESTION💵 QUESTION: Will you go to heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked with lust (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, and an adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will find yourself in a terrible place called Hell, but there is good news. Although we broke God's law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross (He took on the guilt of our sins, without committing any himself, God turned away from Jesus and released his wrath on him, thus paying our fine, he took the punishment we deserve : "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). . Then Jesus rose from the dead (on the 3rd day, proving that what he did is enough, that God is satisfied with what he did (what he did paid our debt) , through the resurrection he defeated death) was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Saviour. Please repent of your sins today and trust Jesus. God will forgive you and give you the gift of Eternal Life (Ephesians 2: 8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read and obey the Bible every day, join a CHRISTIAN CHURCH, and be baptized.

@xisaiahx43 Your assertions are groundless because they are supported by nothing except a book of primitive mythology. The stories and claims contained within are ludicrous---they contradict science, reason and believability.
The atheists are correct and you are deluded. Washer is an especially repugnant zealot, a hater of mankind and his happiness on Earth.
The evil is all on your side.
How consistent are you in your trite little attempts to mock? Do you do this to Muslims? Believers in Santa Clause? No, Pablo113, you don't do you? I'm willing to bet that you (like 99% of the other atheist mockers who troll Christian videos) are an apostate. Here to try an soothe your own twisted & seared conscience in a sick attempt to tell yourself "I know I'm right in abandoning my "faith" in Christ".
@hottcartoonist "preaching"
I can refute PW all I want - and I will, but I assure you it is not because "I know he is right"
On the contrary - I know he talks nonsense.
We live on earth; if we want to feel good, we help people and laugh as much as we want. We do not fear a mythical, wrathful god and look to another myth for help against it. We are not born evil, we are just born. When we die, (fortunately) that is the end; we go back to the stars.
The world is wonderful, but there is no magic.
I lasted one minute of this shit - wow one hour 15 minutes of this shit - no wonder he asked god to walk away from this crap.
@sicstyl It is your biblical belief that is not backed by evidence since it derives from a 2000 year old collection of sand scripts filled with absurd fables and myths used to control the ignorant peasants. It's funny that you throw descriptions on others that directly apply to you. You are like the fat man who calls everyone else fat. The problem with deluded people is you don't know you are deluded. And don't pretend to speak for atheists, it only demonstrates your mind numbing ignorance.
@sicstyl Don't try to vilify me you sanctimonious ass-wipe. You know nothing of me or what I believe and your presumptuous accusations about those who don't wallow in your cultist dementia are just programmed into you by your cult.
When you make hell threats, you are throwing at people the most diabolical and offensive of all the Christian delusions--such threats use fear as a tool of
manipulation. Such tactics warrant derision and insult to stop you in your tracks.
@sicstyl Your credulity knows no limits--but then I don't expect logical thinking or the ability to tell reality from fantasy from born again whack jobs. What the fuck do you know about truth when you wallow in the pus bucket of bronze age ignorance.
Now before you issue your vile hell threats like a typical born again robot--remember they don't work on rational people--only cultified zealots and other slave-sheep who worship assholes like PW.
@sicstyl Any names you get are richly deserved. I'm getting bloody fed up with people like you who use hell threats (which are far more offensive than names and insults). If you want to me to come out swinging... just try it. Expressing anger or vulgarity is quite appropriate at times and my fuse is very short when it comes to sanctimonious preachy assholes like PW and yourself. I don't think you realize how deeply offensive your religion is to some people.
@TanjaEubanks Zzzzz. Your infanticidal god is not one to submit to in any shape, manner or form. Get real. As for the "heathen" reference for non-believers, self-serving names whose purpose is only to insult those who reject wicked gods, are rather entertaining, not to say utterly pathetic. :)
This bastard doesn't bring people to Christianity, he repulses them with his venom filled hatred for the human species. Ever wonder why the growth of atheism and the strong contempt for Christianity in particular--it's because of odious zealots like this acting as it's spokesmen.
Christianity is one fucked up religion if it's anything like this loonie describes it.
Its been over a decade, how are you doing brother?
