I liked how this man talks. He doesn’t mince words.

[batphink]

I like this man because he is 100% spot on, they are the words of Jesus himself, Amen!

As a Christian, I gave him an A++ for that sermon because he only focused on our Lord Jesus's scripture/words.
I can't get my head around how a lot of Pastors focus on scriptures of the Old Testament or Paul's Testament/scriptures as if they will bring us to God, instead of focusing only on our Lord Jesus's sacred words/scriptures in his Testament/gospels because our Lord Jesus EXPLICITLY says in his scripture No one comes to the Father(God) except through me... Not through the Old Testament(or anyone in it) or through Paul's Testament, only through our Lord Jesus's Testament/scriptures.
I think that's how a lot of Pastors end up in the News involved in sexual immoral scandal court cases, they're usually preachers who focus heavily on Old Testament scriptures or Paul's Testament/scriptures.
Maybe our Lord Jesus's scriptures are too strict for them especially his scripture saying If your eye causes you to sin pluck it out or if your hand causes you to sin cut it off, which we know as Christians that he is only illustrating the seriousness of sin rather than meaning it literally. He also said if a man so much as looks at married woman with lust, he has already committed adultery in his heart. He also rejected fornication which is any sexual activity outside of marriage.
He is a very very strict teacher if we read all his gospels properly, but at the same time he is also forgiving and compassionate. Glory only to God and our Lord Jesus Christ... 🙏

People (even some Christians) for some reason think of this as some clause up for debate, some are really out here thinking he'll give mercy to others that don't abide by this for some reason....because " He is nice and very forgiving ".

What happens to people who didn't hear the gospel or didn't get the opportunity to know Jesus? Will they go to hell?

[jamiesmith]

If He's the "only" way, then what about Jews today who follow Judaism, but not Christ?

[sonnenrad]

But what gives the Bible authority? I don't care what the Bible says, per say, and nor do I care what the Torah, talmud, or quran says. Any religion can make a claim and it's just a never ending cycle by using your holy text to prove that what your holy texts says is true. It's self fulfilling

Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:3…
“One must be born again” to see the
Kingdom of God!!! This transformation
from death to LIFE in Christ Jesus makes you
Rapture/HeavenBound!!! If you haven’t made
your Eternal decision, do so today…
Jesus is waiting!!! ⚓️⚓️⚓️

He has the nerve to call unbelievers '' arrogant '' when his arrogance is stupefying. He can speak for a god, '' god is angry, judgemental, tolerant, loving''... and for jesus. Jesus said ? We don't have any proof for his existence much less for what he said. Everything '' jesus said '' was said by people who never knew him. He left not one written word, had no eyewitnesses and there is not one contemporaneous account of him in the bible or anywhere else...and everything I just said is 100% factual but will have absolutely no effect on true believers, right ?

You have hit the nail on the head! A little bit more to it though! 1 when In the time of Mosses and the old testament. Blood sacrifice to a priest. Like Aaron and Elazar the only way the people of Israel could have salvation was a offering for their sins and trespassing and that was the law! The law isn't bad people are bad if a person broke just one command of the law Exodus chapter. 20 he or she broke all of them! And there was only one time of the year that began the civil year was the day of atonement! When the. High priest places his hands on a goat and then was led away into the wilderness that took the people and priests sin away from the previous. Year;;!! But when Jesus Christ. Was nailed to the cross was made the sacafice. For all time he took all the blood sacrifices and oradances. Nailed them to the cross! To make Jesus Christ our passover lamb took the stripes and we get the healing! When Jesus died and went into the tomb Jesus on the third day was and is risen to defeat death and Satan when he also took the veil at 300 pm right after he gave his spirit back to FATHER he went into the temple where the high priest was making the evening sacrifice took the veil and ripped it from top to bottom telling us that you need no man woman or priest to go to get forgiveness. But you can March right into GODs arms and ask for forgiveness !

Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. *Repent and live!*

No it's your idea we do not know who is actually God or if there is one now we know we have energy in the soul when we die that goes somewhere now whether it's Jesus God Allah Buddha and so on none of us know we just reading something that we believe in and maybe we're right maybe we're wrong but we won't know till we get there and that's a fact the rest isnt facts
