"Nothing can separate us from The Love of God our Almighty Father" Is this the same God who is a mass murderer? (I'm referring to the nearly entire population of the earth (est. 4 billion) by Noah's flood - as well as killing the populations of Sodom & Gomorrah, The firstborn Egyptians, the massacre of women and children at Jericho and the Egyptian chariot army).
@@m.weston7114 I absolutely do. However, my definition of truth is that it is testable, measurable, a repeatable by multiple sources to get similar results. That is called proof. What most Christians call truth is beliefs, faith, feelings and those cannot meet the criteria I listed above. Beliefs are human imaginations and they are accepted without proof. Coming from human minds there are as many beliefs as there are humans. They will vary and thus can't be considered truth.
@@darz3829Hello.. I do agree that truth need to meet those criteria you listed.. That it has to be measurable, testable (observable) and repeatable. That is the scientific method we call proof. However, this method can't be used in historical events. For example you can't go in the laboratory and prove that George Washington was once the president of the United States of America. Because his presidency is not measurable, testable and repeatable.. So in order to know that he was once the president, we use a method call evidentiary method (documents written by eyewitnesses). And that is exactly what we have in the Bible and in the gospels. It is not that truth is based on feelings or having faith that this is the truth (for Christians) but more exactly it is having reasonable amount of proof (testimony of the eyewitnesses) and then applying our faith to those truths

@@Danny451you should take her to the doctor. Medicine and science is not in itself bad or a sign that you don’t trust God. It is wisdom to go to the doctor, and keep trusting for your daughter’s healing while she takes the medicine
LOL...I always did that demo in my science class. I never thought of it as a devotional lesson. You actually did a better explanation of the science than any science teacher.
Then the science teachers must be really bad, because I don't think the molecules are rearranging, beyond the fact that they are stretching, and in being stretched they exert a restoring force. In other words, the monomers which make up the polymer do not disconnect and then reconnect with other monomers in a different configuration. What's happening here is that the tangled chains can move and stretch, and during that stretching the atoms that are bonded together become slightly pulled apart, and energy is stored in that bond, and that energy is available to pull that bond back together whenever it can. Compare with aluminum foil, where the atoms can move but they form new metallic bonds in their new positions and there is no restoring force pushing them back to where they were. Also important here is surface tension of the water (and the fact that the plastic is hydrophobic and not hydrophilic--it is made mostly of neutral C's and H's rather than O's; it is a petroleum product, and oil and water famously do not mix). Try it with soapy water and see if it still works. How would we find out what's happening at the molecular level? What experiment could we do, to prove or refute different theories or ideas about what's happening?
@@rodschmidt8952isn’t the simplest explanation of all those mechanics to little kids who don’t understand all of it yet, that the plastic bag stretches around the pencil to keep the water from leaking? Messages can only be received according to the mode of the receiver. An FM radio receiver uses the wrong mode for an AM radio signal: won’t work. Little kids don’t know all the details you do, so explaining all this to them would not suit their mode, and would fail as explanation. Pumping every possible known detail of an unknown new subject as the first step in explanation of anything is the wrong first step because it ignores the mode of the receiver. It will guarantee frustration and ensure lack of understanding. Education fail.
Yes, God should be proud of the plastic bag and pencil analogy, to avoid talking about the Curse God put upon mankind forever, because they ate a piece of fruit God made, and used it to tempt them with it. What a beautiful God to the blind and indoctrinated.
God is smiling while kids all over the world are dying because a kid didn't get water on its head. The world is getting crazier by the second. My sons went to Christian schools from 4 to 18 YO and never ever believed there is a God. A bag with water and a pencil will not work.
@@m.weston7114 God gave a mandate but he allowed man to have a choice. Just like you choosing to mock him. On the flip side of things u wouldn't have a choice. We'd all be mindless do gooders with no true freedom. Basically I don't force anyone to love me, if I do then I also understand that person is not really free
WOW THIS IS BRILLIANT! I'm 32 years old and this ministered to me lol I showed it to my wife right away and we were both in awe with this wonderful illustration!
It’s called perspective. Take anything bad and change the way you look at it. Humans justify anything to keep moving forward to or to assume control of the situation aka life. We have no control over what happens. Whatever happens we just have to deal with it, make sense of it, create a narrative and if we don’t like it we can change the narrative.
@@rockandroller8352 Well, I just sacrificed some animals on my back yard altar for a burnt offering to the Lord. A burnt sacrifice of animals is an AROMA most PLEASING to the Lord. -Leviticus 1:9. Praise the Lord!
I'm so sorry. My dog Biscuit died seven years ago, and few tearless days have passed since then. She was the best Christian I've ever known and her loss haunts and hurts me still. May God give you comfort, love, and peace in your grief. And remember, 'not all tears are an evil'.
Did the analogy go over your head, or maybe you don't know how analogies work? What explanation for the existence, necessity, and applicability of logic do you have to prove you can reasonably trust what you say makes sense?
@@martinkuliza Did the analogy go over your head, or maybe you don't know how analogies work? What explanation for the existence, necessity, and applicability of logic do you have to prove you can reasonably trust what you say makes sense?
@@LocalBibleDealer My point was simply a statement of fact. Your response was rude and insulting, not someone I wish to engage with. The demonstration points out several aspects of science, and all of them are consistent and predictable, so you can trust them to work every time. This is a perfect example of trusting in science. Was I wrong?
@@peterrollinson-lorimer Yes, you are very wrong regarding the author's purpose of the video. In the title of the video, it clearly states, "Object lesson on trusting God..." which is another way of saying, "Analogy on trusting God...". Your description of the video leaves out half of the video specifically every time she connected trusting physical laws like trusting God in the sense that similar to how physical laws are consistent to trust, God also is consistent to trust. What explanation for the existence, necessity, and applicability of logic do you have to prove you can reasonably trust what you say makes sense?
However, our confidence exceeds this!!!!! The Promises of the CREATOR of GOD himself gave us is more transcendent. JESUS CHRIST has told us!!! And the CHURCH believes it!!!! On the other hand, unbelievers do not see or understand. Luke 12:32-34 32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Matthew 28:20 20 teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen.
I think the reason sometimes it's hard to trust God is because what we see with our eyes is people especially our mother and father and if they are untrustworthy they had you for probably at least 18 years of brainwashing. My parents made us go to church, but they almost never talked about Jesus and when they did it was all twisted and then they abused us and didn't live as if they trusted Him. It helps to have people around you that are trustworthy, so you know what trust is.
YES, I agree with this so much. We need to have trustworthy, loving people around us. In fact, a 25 year longitudinal study following 35 families and how they practice their various faiths through the generations shows that kids are waaay more likely to adhere to their parents' faith if they have a good relationship with their parents. I'm so sorry that your experience was one of abuse and twisted faith.
I'm not sure why this video got recommended to me, and I don't wish to disrespect this Mom who obviously cares very much for her kids and for trying to teach good things in these videos. However, as a former Christian, (yes, I know, this is where Christians will tell me I never was a Christian if I left. I used to say the same thing myself when I was a believer) I can't accept that the BibleGod is a God of love at all. Not when the punishment is eternal hell for not believing. Imagine having someone tell you that they love you and want to have a relationship with you, BUT if you don't love them in return they will make sure you somehow "send yourself" to an eternal torture chamber that they made, and they'll never let you escape their torture chamber. For all eternity. I truly don't think it's possible to love a being like that. You could only fear him at best, and perhaps try to trick yourself into thinking you love him. But you could never love someone who threatens you with unimaginable torment for choosing not to love or believe in them.
@@IKARIANOFFICIAL That's a common understanding of hell. Here's how I understand it: Hell is merely the place God (and by definition: goodness) is not. So he allows us to choose whether to live life with him or not, and honors that choice even in death. Would you want to be with someone who forced you to do their will? Either way, I'm not here to force conversion on you, and I'm not not sure why this little video of mine is being served to tens of thousands of people who are not in my target audience, but thanks for leaving a comment.
@@BedtimeDevoMama Appreciate the reply, and I hope you don't take any of this personally, as it's simply the beliefs I'm not fond of. Though we must ask ourselves, if Hell is simply a place where God and goodness is not, then is the absence of God a lake fire? And does God remake our bodies with flesh like we have now that somehow never burns up in fire, but he makes sure we feel the searing pain of the fire for trillions of years just because we couldn't believe in some stories of the bible or perhaps never even heard of Jesus?
I feel you, Lucille! I am 9th of 10, hillbillies to the max! My parents did everything that we were forbidden to do. We never had a bible in the house, but were forbidden to play cards! We NEVER discussed religion, politics, weather: in fact, they didn't talk about much of anything, NEVER showed affection to one another or us, and the only thing we were instructed on was WORK: do this, do that! Better be done by the time I get home! Here! I have 3 ways to do everything: but I want YOU to do it the HARD way! Or else! Dad had a 7th grade education, mom couldn't read or write her own name. I hated life! God didn't live at our house. I am the only one to graduate high school; went into the military, came home, got more education, had TWO daughters, and learned to trust MY wits. In spite of EVERYTHING I tried to do RIGHT, EVERYthing turned to S**t. NOTHING good ever happened for longer than it took for people I trusted to make a total WRECK of it. I don't even trust ME anymore! Feel your pain, Lucille!
I got this ad on RU-vid of exercise and honestly whenever I do workout my Strength and Stamina comes from God and Jesus Christ and also he gives me Wisdom and Peace and and Bravery and I always make sure to give Him All the Glory
This is excellent. I like that you discussed the nature of polymer as to why you can trust the bag not to burst. When we know the nature of God, we can trust Him too.
Good stuff. We home schooled and we did stuff like this with our kids. I remember having each child squeezing out a tube of toothpaste and seening If my kids can get it back in the tube and then of course they couldn't. And I told them that when you speak hurtful words you can't take them back... just like the toothpaste.
I like your analysis. God doesn't make your pet die, or people sick, or bad things happen. He gives us the strength to get through it. Sometimes when bad things happen there will be other good that comes out of it, and God helps us to find that too. Jesus will sit with the table with any and all of us. He doesn't force us to stay. When people don't want Jesus or God in their life they are free to choose that. A misunderstanding is to expect grace, protection or understanding if they have walked away. We aren't punished much in this life, we do it on our own. Gods grace allows one to walk back to the table and have a seat at any time.
That’s right God doesn’t do any of those things because it doesn’t exist you already have the strength to get through it like Dorothy said, she had the power within herself all along.
@@playinglifeoneasy9226why do you feel like taking away the faith from other people? If you can’t see intelligent design in creation is okay but don’t try to convince others to share your view!
"God doesn't make your pet die, or people sick, or bad things happen." (In Gen 2 &3) God killed an estimated 4 billion people in Noah's flood (that can be found in your bible). Plus all the animals (your pets) on earth. I can't think of a worse "bad thing"
Thank You for sharing! Please keep em coming!! I have three Granddaughters living with me. My oldest just learned Galatians 5:22-23 Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control.
A wise man once said that if you have faith in that chair to hold you, your Faith in God should be much bigger. Whenever I sit in a chair, I think of those wise words.
Just know that I just tried to do this in youth church and water started pouring all over that kid 😂😂😂😂. I just reassured them that that’s why God is not a man that should lie, however, we obviously are 💀
Wow, good going sister! I was talking to Jesus the other night about telling people my amazing stories of what The Lord has down in my life. I am an Eyewitness!!! 🙋♀️ Thank you, that was good 💕✝️🇺🇸🇮🇱
I just did this today!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this activity. I feel incredibly blessed that this popped into my feed. I very much hope The Lord Jesus Christ blesses you and your family ❤
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] John 16:33 - Amplified Bible
Such a good object lesson. Sometimes it’s very hard to “walk by faith and not by sight.” Bottom lime, Life is very hard. Jesus knew this and taught that “in this world, we WOULD have tribulations, troubles, and trials, but, be of good cheer, in other words, don’t worry, you are not alone. I will be there to help you when you have to walk through hard times, for I have overcome the world. So when we do face problems, know that He sees, and He is there. Call out to him and he will help you through those hard times. Thank you for the object lesson.❤️✝️🙏
Such a good message, through hard times Gods will always be with you, footsteps in the sand two sets, once reaching water 💦 there was only one set of footsteps, I asked God why only one set of steps, he replied this is when I carried you as you could not swim. Have faith in our Lord Gid.
I'm a Mama and a Sunday teacher for kids at Church and a nurse.Bedtime devotionals are the time I connect with my kids after a days activity. Thanks for sharing. GOD Bless You in the name of the LORD JESUS Amen 😊
Gravity is invisible, but the effects are ever present. We should Trust that God did create the universe and gave us a way to spend eternity in Heaven. There are no better alternatives
