    Wonderful to hear a follower of Jesus who understands what Jesus actually taught and meant. I am a pacifist Christian in Melbourne Australia and there are very few pacifist Christians here.
    Jesus warned followers when He said, "you call me Lord, Lord but do not do what I say to do."
    Jesus talked about Spirit over flesh. Heaven is a Spiritual world. We must awaken or arise into and become our True identity as Spiritual children of a Divine Loving Creator.
    Our faith in God, Jesus and Heaven helps us overcome every material challenge we will ever face in the flesh, even the death of the body experience at the end of our journey. We let go of all material securities and hold onto Spiritual securities.
    God bless. Christopher.

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. Gentle and humble in heart, our beloved Jesus. We cannot serve two masters. We follow Jesus or we do not. It is not easy to practice non violence in a violent world.
    It is the only way to seek justice without perpetuating further injustice.
    Thank you for your offering on this. 🕊❤️‍🩹🪔🙏🏻🌻

    I’m a Quaker and I’m glad to hear you teach the truth that Jesus actively practiced and taught us to love one another and live in non violence. I pray this message goes out far and wide. Much gratitude.

    I agree that there are bad actors in the Christian community as with all communities. There are bad actors in the Christian community, the Muslim community, the Jewish community, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the LQBTQ community, Nationalist communities, fundamentalist communities, etc, etc, etc. I think it is pretty clear that Jesus taught non violence and every Christian person I have met agrees (not saying every Christian agrees, just the ones thatI have met). Love God and love thy neighbor....doesnt get much simpler than that. I feel like the bad actors in any community tend to be the loudest and most outspoken (and if those people have large sums of money that can cause great damage). We can't condemn or judge entire groups of people in a negative light because of a small portion of extremists.

    You need to be familiar with the Scriptures to understand this because there is maybe some compromise of the video quality, that is sometimes garbling his voice.

    The word Satan means "Slanderer", it is only a title and not his name.
