    @Iykim929 what does that have to do with what I’m talking about? Are you asking me a question? Or giving me a personal opinion on something off the subject of what I was talking about?

  • jordan81197 says:

    @Idasputum not to be a wise ass but iv been asking everyday, for a long time, and no doubt there are good things happening to me all the time, but does that necessarily mean jesus is blessing me… Let me ask you something do you find it awkward that I believe in god but Find having faith in jesus is dillusional?

  • IdaSputum says:

    @jordan81197 Anyone who asks to know God, meets Jesus whether they were expecting to or not, whatever language they speak. ASK

    family better than friends ? … I would not need friends if that was true.

  • dfjbvkfd says:

    lmao you talk about church? but you disagree with religion? so even if you make a church out of no religion. that is still a religion lol. A group with a common belief . hating religion is a bold statement

  • yisoonshin12 says:

    I hope nobody’s arguing on here because just in this video he said we’re supposed to be family

  • iykim929 says:

    @jordan81197 Just because you were born in a certain location doesn’t change the fact of the matter. If I was born in a country that made me think women were inferior, that doesn’t make women inferior. I might believe in human rights only because of where I was born, but that doesn’t make me wrong to believe in human rights.

    @BottleKapat He can’t talk about everything in a youtube video. Here he talked about people feeling no connections to church (christians). If we do not care for each other, how could we care for non-christians. Also if we do not help each other, we will fall (not all, but many) and then there is fewer left talking about Jesus for the lost. You get it?

    Huge painfull anoying mess. Well, no thanks, I think I’ll pass.

  • TomHopeful says:

    Wow. I really should remember all this the next time I go to church.

  • jordan81197 says:

    And I never said I didn’t believe in god, its more the religion I have a hard time believing, for example if you where from iraq would you still believe in jesus christ? I don’t think so.

  • jordan81197 says:

    @Ianisgreat10 what are you talking about?

  • ianisgreat10 says:

    @jordan81197 And this means that Christians don’t?

  • ianisgreat10 says:

    My grandfather put in all the plumbing at his church and asked for nothing. This is how he could serve his church. He always treated everyone there as they were part of his family.

  • BottleKapat says:

    As a church family its your job out as a family and save those who are lost hes just talking about investing in god and his people

  • TrumpetCallofGodLT says:

    Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called “Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written”: EXCERPT: “Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him.”

    He seems to be talking about the people in a building…calling them the church. The real ‘Church’ are followers of Christ. There are so many unsaved within all these church buildings….even the pastors can be unsaved and false. There are people who don’t attend church who are membersof God’s church. The real Church….spokenabout in the Bible is scattered all over the world. The are so many who don’t miss a service who are lost.

  • UrukEngineer says:

    It is upsetting to see how religion subverts the strong familial bonds we humans crave and develop – this “cuckoo-like meme” inveigles its way into our lives and often replaces REAL family in the process.

  • jordan81197 says:

    @attackc0de why is it good to have a blind faith? Have you seen god or know for a fact he is real?

  • jordan81197 says:

    @attackc0de well I appriciate it… can you tell me my gods plan is to seperate me from my family I haven’t seen my mom in almost 10 years and I never had a dad I when I try to be his friend he uses me as a stepping stool to make himself look good by puting his own son down that he doesn’t even know?

  • attackc0de says:

    @jordan81197 God bless you Jordan. I hope God sees how much you are struggling, notices that you picked a video that talks about family, and helps you with your need for it. I’ll pray for you daily.

  • jordan81197 says:

    @Botya1029 because athiest actually do there research and are searching for proof alot of athiest people have read the bible and proven many of times out doesn’t make sense and very irrational.

  • 99minerkc says:

    @batya1029 That’s fine if it makes you feel like you’re doing something.  What would be better though is to go to your local soup kitchen and “actually help” needy people.

  • batya1029 says:

    I truly don’t understand why atheists feel the need to use their time watching things they strongly oppose so that they can get on here and spew their intolerant views. If you don’t believe in God, so be it. We can believe what we want as well……I don’t go onto atheistic websites just so I can get upset and curse at the people of that belief system….

  • batya1029 says:

    @99minerkc I’m praying for you……
