And on top of everything else in this rigged game of a story, this god was supposed to be all knowing and went through with this ridiculous “fall of man” series of events. In other words, your god is punishing 2 innocent people for being unable to outwit the most powerful being in the universe. I’d like to hear your thoughts on that.

The problem isn't Christianity, but religion: religion will have us believe that we are in charge and as long as we do the pointless rituals and obey funny rules then we're ok, not realizing we're not just on the cliff's edge but already falling. Religion will have us believe that personal accountability is not an issue because we're doing what other people tell us what they think God wants, the same people who pretend to speak on God's behalf and have no interest in our salvation and every interest in our donation to their social club. What separates Christ from all the other false gods is that there is a genuine concern over our well being rather than just letting our carnal nature separating us from God under the guise of us thinking that we're better than others because of what social club we're associate ourselves with. And that social club often makes us arrogant in thinking why Christianity is an exclusive club, another lie from the devil. My two pence thoughts anyway. Jesus is quite clear on this and I thank you for pointing this out in a very sympathetic but truthful way. God bless you all out there!

Trouble is…does the man on the cliff… have the power or the ability..to stretch out his hand to be saved! My Bible says he doesn’t! Listen to the word: “As it is written…There is none righteous…no not one…there is none that understand…there is none that seek after God!” Rom.3:10-11….NONE MEANS NONE!…1 Cor. 2:14….”But the natural man receiveth NOT the things of the Spirit of God…for they are foolishness unto him..neither CAN he know them…because they are spiritually discerned!” God is saying that it’s impossible for the unsaved man to grasp his need of Christ or spiritual things on his own! Until he is quickened (made alive) unto God…by Gods Spirit like Eph 2 says…he is still dead in trespasses and sins! Reformed Theology is not just a Calvin thing! It was the solid belief of all the Reformers! Arminianism was condemned at the Synod of Dordt in 1618!

The "no one seeks after Him" verse is referring to those who do the blasphemous thing of rejecting the Spirit which at least is not everyone by any means which is a good thing at the same time no one can have a chance to find Him unless someone is given the Gospel of Jesus.

@@jdbishop2697 Thanks for your response! How does a man or a women get a “desire to find God”….when the Bible clearly says “NO MAN SEEKS AFTER GOD?” Do you believe the word? Or do you have your own opinion? How can a dead person Eph. 2:1-10….who the scripture says is at war with God…Rom 8:7….respond to God? Jesus said…Its impossible to come to Him unless the Father draws a person! Man is helpless…unless the Lord quickens him… and raises him from spiritual death… he will never get an innate desire to come to God on his own! With man Jesus said…”It is impossible!” “But with God…all things are possible!” Matt. 19:26. The Bible makes it very clear that “you must be born again!” John 3:3…Jesus made it clear that man has 0 to do with the new birth! It’s all of God! Jesus didn’t tell Nicodemus…”If you’ll just believe on Me…accept me into your heart…you’ll be born again Nicki! No..Jesus told Nicodemus…you’ve got to become a new creation…first…before you can even see the Kingdom of God! And this transformation…comes only by the Holy Spirit! That means God makes the choice…who He saves…not man! God chooses us…before we ever choose God!😊

I think this comes down to a more basic question. Do you really believe in God? By definition, He is a vastly superior being to us, so how can we dictate term to Him? We understand this principle when we say 'Beggars can't be choosers,' or, 'Might makes right,' or 'To the victor goes the spoils,' The stronger party dictates terms to the weaker party, so we cannot expect Him to set aside His terms (the gospel of Jesus Christ,) to accept our human alternatives, just because we say so. And that demonstrates the basic point: Does God really exist? Or is he only a mental construct that people have agreed on, so that one man's opinion is at good as anothers? God gives His bona fides through prophecy that is given and fulfilled -- yup, He's the one calling the shots around here -- so that's how we distinguish His terms as the genuine terms, as opposed to all the others.

In your last video, "Why I’m NOT a Cessationist… (But Understand Their Concerns)", I left a comment speaking against the Trinity. To no one's great surprise, that led to quite the debate with other viewers as well as yourself. In fact, I just answered another comment in that thread just this morning. However, it occurs to me that this debate is beginning to heat up, and can only stay civil for just so long, no matter how hard I and those debating against me are trying to keep it that way. So while I'll continue to read the replies of others, and even read whatever passages of scripture they suggest I read, I will not be replying back any longer. I spoke my piece, a debate that has been civil thus far came of it, but I think it's time to bring that to an end. I still stand firm in my belief as a Oneness Pentecostal Christian, just as I'm sure all those I've debated still stand firm in their beliefs as Trinitarian Christians. What I do want to say to you, Matt, however, is that I've actually been watching your videos for a time longer than I've been commenting, and this is the one issue where we disagree. There may be other issues in the future that we don't agree upon, but at the end of the day, we're brothers in Christ who agree on more theologically than we disagree. As such, I'll continue to watch your videos, and likely continue to comment. However, I'll leave the topic of the Trinity alone. As I said, I've said my piece; no need to keep hampering on it at this point.

@@lemongate4869 Greetings. Thank you. Remember that human or animal sacrifice and spilling of blood is an abomination to the Lord. He had never intended for His first Son to be MURDERED. He in fact did not die on the Cross. He had healed the son of Pilate and was taken down. Pilate's wife was a powerful seeress and strongly advised against convicting the Nazarene. Jesus also communicated telepathically with Pilate during the Tribunal, during which Pilate fidgeted. The prediction was that, were Jesus to be killed, great misfortune would befall the Roman Empire. In fact, the first Bishop of the Church consulted all the Disciples, which Apostles unanimously confirmed that the Master had survived the Crucifixion. This also appears in the Holy Father's book, Beyond All Heresies. Everything is not all just in the Bible, which was in any case not written by Jesus or by GOD, but by priests, by men, who changed it all around to result in something quite different to what was originally intended. Archangel Michael, in The Winds of Truth, in fact refers to it as ``in your books'' and dispel many of the myths surrounding the original Scriptures. Blessings - RevDrD/Ministry

If you listened to the message you would have heard that only Jesus can save any one of us. To be labelled a Christian is absolutely no guarantee. All hearts are deceptive and capable of wickedness and only God knows what is inside. He created us. He knows us better than we know ourselves and ultimately, he will judge us on His terms as He said He would. We have been told and urged to accept His invitation to follow Him. We ignore His warnings at our own peril. To see God in terms of our own abilities is to totally underestimate His might. I say these things in love and hope they help.
