I can relate to all of that. It took me until I was 70 years old to discover that I was suffering from religious trauma, as in times past we didn't discuss these issues with anyone, thus keeping them internalised. So much help is available now, and I do hope that people suffering in the same way access the help that is now available. It really does help, and it pays to know that the trauma does not go away on its own.

Really the Apostles would not agree with you at all . The people that say their following Jesus Christ are not following Jesus at all . First on religion And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one's self unspotted from this world. James 1:26-27 Too Jesus who said this Matthew : 16 : 18 - And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus said “ I Will Build My Church “ a church singular not plural so the question is do you belong to Jesus Christ church? Right now the answer is NO . You want to be the final authority on scripture not Jesus it’s your interpretation that is final and scripture tells you not to do this ...2 Peter 1:20-21

@@danviccaro3920 Thank you so much, I almost cried with hapiness because you've pointed out this passage... I made a comment in this video saying I am so scared of leaving because my church is VERY rigid and they say everyone who is not a part of it, will go to hell. I am planning to leave the church, but it will take 3 months before I can do that, so I am preparing myself to "fight" them. I am sure I will suffer a lot, but God will be by my side. So you have an idea, I cried and cried and voiced my love to Christ listening to a gospel song by myself in my room a couple of days ago, but my church does not support listening to gospel songs, they say we should only listen to the sacred hymns.

@@LoveCoveredLifePodcast What lots of people (even pastors) don't (yet) understand. For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ. He paid the debt for the fall of man for us to be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man. That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all. And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding and transform us back to origin. Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come. So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand. Hence the divine healing miracles we experience. God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after in Gen 1. The image we lost in the fall of man. The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us. What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing. It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle. He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love. Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh. For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth. He said: "Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc. I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name". Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!! So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit. You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator. You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace. A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam. Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever. Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote: "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again". "IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)" "The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power". So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing! In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote: "By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man". The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!! Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness. He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind". "I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...." Bless, bless, bless.

I have never been to church (save for a few times when I was very young) but am extremely blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with God. He has kept me away from drinking, smoking, drugs, promiscuity and has protected and always been there for me my entire life. I've always thought of it more as a relationship that I have with God, rather than a religion, the same way that I have a relationship with my parents and not a religion. I've never really described or thought of myself as a Christian, but I can certainly understand if people want to label me as such.

@Rahul Rahul You seem to be quite confused about things. The body of Christ is the church, not a building. Most of the "curches" have been infiltrated and corrupted by Satan during this very late hour. Teaching false doctrine, promoting fear and cowardice, and preaching servitude to the Luciferians that run this fallen world. It's about a personal relationship with God through his son, Jesus Christ, not about a brick and motar meeting place, listening to some guy give his thoughts and opinions about a verse for 90 minutes. Unfortunately, the spirit in a lot of "churches" these days is that of the kundilini serpent, and not the Holy Spirit.

My girlfriend was raised a strict fundamentalist. Any time I've tried to help her to understand Universalism, she brushes it off and always interprets much of the bible as literal. It has been frustrating sometimes as it has even made her cry because she tells me that I don't respect her faith or how she was raised. I've referenced passages of Scripture that I believe make it pretty obvious that all are saved and that hell is the grave, etc. I've backed off quite a bit after sending her a link to one of your videos but I'm afraid she will never be able to understand the way we do. I will be patient though. I'm very glad you make these videos. Wish there were more people as committed as you are.

I had the opposite problem. My family and friends are all in organized religion and always spread lies saying that Jesus taught not to love our enemies and taught to reject toxic people and to hate them and I was told God doesn’t love me because I used to be toxic because I’m autistic. I get gaslighted on a daily basis about what scripture actually says. I hate religious people so much. They are cruel and abusive 😢 They don’t believe my NDE’s either. I have literally seen hell and heaven and outer darkness. It’s all real but hell isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. Only outer darkness is the worst place you can be and yes anyone who accepts Jesus is saved. Being a ghost can mean you are saved. Only evil people actually go to hell, outer darkness or death for the dead but nobody believes me so it’s whatever but yeah you are absolutely right! All are saved except the sons and daughters of evil.

The disciples continued to do exactly the same - check Acts 2 :38-39 God cannot indwell an unregenrate person, lets get that straight, you must be born again, thats what the bible teaches unequivcally; If any 'spirit' is teaching you otherwise, its mod definitely not the Spirit of God who is not the spirit of error.

Helvetesdoktrinen är riktigt sjuk. Tror man på helvetet så tror man faktiskt på en Gud som är värre en den värsta diktatorn. "Det är bäst du gör som jag säger här annars skickar jag dig till tortyrkammaren!" Det är nästan komiskt hur sunda och i övrigt vettiga människor kan tro på detta. Där tycker jag faktiskt Jehovas har en mer vettig approach. Deras tro går ut på det att dom som inte tror på Gud eller inte vill ha något med honom att göra slocknar bara när dom dör. Dom somnar liksom bara in.

I also have begun to call myself a follower of Jesus. I am so delighted to find another person who has come to the same conclusion as I have. You did a great job showing the true message of Jesus. Thank you so very much. Let us continue to Love one another and do good to all children of God. Bless you!

Hello I have just listened to you after praying to God for truth as I have for many years been hung up about the doctrine of sin and it’s consequences if we don’t live a righteous life entirely so I was constantly battling with sin consciousness and feeling insecure in my faith and negative. Thank you for shining the spotlight of Gods unconditional love for us through the teachings of Jesus and his character.

I made this same journey years ago... left the church forever to follow Jesus. It was the best decision I ever made! I grew up a Calvinist, then later a follower of the Assembly of God church and all I ever felt was shame, worthlessness, unworthiness, and afraid that if I wasn't good enough I was going to hell with all my friends who were not Christians to burn forever. This fear broke my body physically and crushed my spirit. I have now found freedom in knowing there is no judgement for anyone... only love! I wake up every day now excited thinking I will try love today, and there is no such thing as failing or being judged for not being good enough at it. Thank you for your video!

Good comment. Some would worry about a view of God that was too "soft". But the thing is, the people they want to scare into being good aren't bothered by a harsh God. But the ones who actually get bothered, terrified, broken, harmed, by a belief in a harsh God are the sensitive ones - the kind ones - the meek - the children - the ones who need what Jesus himself taught. Listening to Jesus himself - that's heavenly!

I did this 52 years ago. When I started going to a non denominational church, I questioned church people and their actions and found they were in a religion which they created but in the same time denied it. And they didn't follow what Jesus taught us. Love God above all things and people and love our brothers and sisters. Satan uses all things in religion to turn us away from Jesus. God and Jesus loves all of us. Turn back to Jesus, Time is short.

Thanks for this video! I've struggled with conventional church-going Christianity for years, feeling like I was wrong for simply being my human self, for having my own flaws and desires that didn't suit the image of the "ideal Christian". The thought that I would be punished with no warning, had I simply been born in a different household or country, and that Christians were expected to spread the Gospel to EVERYONE on Earth before they died, never sat well with me. I haven't fully made my mind or set my views in stone, but I feel this is a step to a greater understanding. All the best on your spiritual journey as well!

A true and faithful follower of the Word will recognise how sinful and weak they are in front of a morally perfect, sinless, powerful, holy God and recognise that through Jesus we are free to either choose to repent or reject and suffer. It’s all according to the free will that has been given to us. Salvation is not exclusive, unique or authentic unless a competing voice is present. Just as our parents love us enough to discipline us, God treats us exactly the same way out of His love - it is not to legalistically control us, but to help us come more closer to Him on a relational and spiritual basis. For someone to use their modern values to try and scrutinise God’s Bible, and His choices and plan for us is to overlook the fact that He went to extreme levels to gift the freedom to us through the ultimate blood sacrifice of Christ. A Christian doesn’t have to be ideal when rightly dividing the Word. I’m not sure, but it seems that the girl in this video wants a sweet, sugar-coated God instead of a just one, and believes in the “once saved, always saved” system. It’s not as simple as that. If Jesus died for us, then it is our responsibility to demonstrate that faith through suffering and works (the right ones, not the works that other churches show off in order to gain some kind of recognition or award). This is what it means to be a disciple of Christ, and the term Christianity doesn’t even have to come into it, which I can agree is a manmade one. Romans 3:23 describes our position as humans, followers or not, as well as Romans 3:10. The Commandments, save for one, have been brought forward for us to follow, and you see this in some judicial courthouses today. We never know how messed up we are unless we open that book and see for ourselves, and we don’t necessarily need a preacher to tell us how ugly we are as much as we need them around because God already tells us that through the Gospel. How bad we are is our chance to make ourselves perfect. God is indeed love, but we need tough love in order to grow, and it doesn’t have to be cruel, as God is not cruel, but is FAIR - just like it is only fair to be disciplined by our mother and father to help us control our habits and behaviour. There doesn’t even have to be an agenda. “Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17

Awesome testimony! I had a similar experience. I questioned the doctrine of Eternal Torment in my early twenties, and consequently got kicked out of my church fellowship. It took me awhile to realize that I had been raised in legalism, not Love. Even violent atonement theologies, where Jesus gets killed to pacify God’s wrath, are rooted in legalism, where God requires PAYMENT for sin. But that’s not how Love works. Because Love keeps no record of wrongs and thus forgives freely. God is Love…and perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves the threat of punishment/torment (1 John 4:18)

1st of all, you have such a beautiful soul, and 2nd, I have started ?ing everything a few years ago and started researching. When I was a kid I went to church and it scared the hell out of me almost literally, I came home and cried at night bc of that so I eventually stopped going. I found it hard to believe that God would want us to fight and kill our brothers over religion, which is exactly what has been going on for centuries!! I also have come to believe no one person can die for each other’s “sins”, it’s impossible bc we all create our own path before we come here. One thing I have found during my research is there are other documentations of other people in the past from other countries who have the same exact story behind them as Jesus, such as virgin birth the same birth date, etc. After seeing how our gov just controls us and manipulates us, I also now see how religions are doing the same, something that’s supposed to be made of love is killing people world wide, makes no sense. Jesus came to teach us to love each other and what we all have to look forward to after we are gone. The way I see it is we’ve been duped by some negative beings to obey and submit to keep power over us. We should all love and worship God our Creator. It doesn’t help that it’s been estimated the Bible has been changed approximately 13,000 times by man over the last centuries. I don’t doubt Jesus is still helping us and I know he did exist, but we are all connected and unified in our soul, which is what a lot of people don’t know surprisingly and we are supposed to love each other, love is all there is and it is the way we grow and move on.

There was something greater for me if I choose to look deeper into the life of Christ. What hit home was finally understanding the greatest commandment. Love the God with all your heart... It flowed over me like the warmth of the sun on a beautiful spring day. As I listened to the message you gave about your spiritual journey tears of joy flowed down my cheeks and I felt such love for and from my heavenly father. I have been talking with a new believer about meeting with fellow believers in our homes and talking about how god impacted our lives.

Wow. Thank you for putting yourself out there with this! I used to be a religious Christian, as religious as can be, but still trapped in darkness. Then I went through the exact same process as you. I abandoned the scriptures that I had strictly followed for years and left the church. Also, my marriage ended. Basically my life fell apart. I have been using cannabis to cope, and just last night I took an edible that sent me into a state of what can only be described as disillusionment from reality. I saw everything for what it is: an illusion, and I was nothing more than a mind in that illusion. I felt like I was going insane and I could feel myself fading into nothingness, and then I called out to God. Jesus came. I put on some Jesus music. Not Christian music, Jesus music. And the words entered me as Jesus became more and more clear. He is EVERYTHING! His light shines in the darkness! All of this life is an illusion that is held together by him. We have nothing without him and he loves us so much! I felt his love and saw him for the first time, and all I can say is that nothing compares to his glory. All of this life is for him, that God might display his love to the heavenly realm and so Satan and his angels will be put to shame. But that shame is not for us. His light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Is Jesus weak? No. HE is mighty to save. WE are not mighty to save ourselves by finding him and being good enough by following strict religion. It is Jesus and only Jesus! 😭 I have also been balling my eyes out ever since

Hi Melisa, that was a beautiful summation of your position. For myself when I was much younger but asking the question what this world was all about, I could not understand what guilt and fear as taught by the western church had to do with love and forgiveness that Jesus taught. I could not understand this contradiction. So I travelled through the various spiritual traditions of the East. I found that all these traditions had a legend that there would arise from the west that would show us the way. This teacher said as you have nicely stated, we are to love God (so by inference love everything God created) and love our neighbor as we love ourselves. I noted most people did not even like themselves, let alone love themselves. The teaching of Jesus is to love our enemy. This is the most radical teaching of all. I also became a follower of Jesus when I understood the illusion was that we are all separated from each other. The truth is we are all one and connected with each other, this is what Jesus was trying to teach but very few understood his message. I am delighted you have understood his message and am enjoying your various RU-vid items. I wish you love, peace, joy and happiness.

And the greatest commandment is "Love Your Neighbor As Yourself", spoken by Jesus. That commandment is impossible for any human to keep, because by nature we are sinful and unclean and our own selfishness will keep us from fully and successfully loving our neighbors as ourselves.

The Bible has been horribly translated by clerks of a certain denomination who had no clue about God's intend, just like Muhammed. Still the red line is clearly visible. The original text is crystal clear: 1: God created us after His own image and likeness. 2: Man fell. That is what you see in this world: lust, greed, selfishness, strange philosophies, sicknesses, corruption, terrorism, death, etc, etc. 3: God, the spirit of life, manifests fully in Christ, pays the debt for mankinds fall so we can be indwelled again by His Spirit and be transformed back to origin. Pure grace, love, power of God for His creation. Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons His first friend, i and many others experience up to this day! When Jesus said: "It is finished", He did a perfect job. Nothing to be changed by people comming after Him. Some examples of these idiotic translation errors. Saved, from the Greek Sozo means made complete, brought back to origin. Eternal life from the Greek Zoë means life of God, divine life. Wrath from the Greek Orge means PASSION. Wrath from the Greek Thumos also means PASSION. Etc, etc, etc, look it up in the Kittel Theological Dictionary or in any Greek/Hebrew Strong's app. It's there. So now we have ignorant preachers parotting the lie that we have to be saved from God's wrath by Jesus (who is God....) and "have to repent or go to hell". In stead it is: God restores us through Christ by His own atoning blood sacrifice and indwelling Holy Spirit, from mankind's fall, to His own image and likeness (Christlikeness) because of... passion. For God so loved the world.... God cannot be tempted to do evil.... There is no turning or shifting with Him.... If you don't love you don't know God, for God is love.... The goal of all instruction is... love The Father Himself loves you.... Jesus healing all..... love Jesus raising the dead..... love Jesus casting out demons.... love Jesus controlling nature..... love Etc, etc ,etc ,etc.

I’ve been a spiritual seeker for as long as I can remember… looked into every sacred texts I could get my hands in, waffled around with Taoism, shamanism, and all sorts of alternative spiritual paths… only to come back full-circle to our Lord Jesus Christ. How you read the Bible (or any sacred texts for that matter) and what you glean from it says a lot about where you are on your spiritual journey. In the Book of Genesis, there are two allegories of how mankind came to be… humanity is either made in God’s image and therefore perfect, or mankind is made from mud, is flawed and sinful thanks to the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.” Taoism taught me a lot about NOT labelling things, for if you label something as good, you in turn create its opposite. God/Tao/Great Spirit is perfect and unfathomable. You can’t experience God/Tao/Great Spirit through analysis, the intellect and morality (that’s the original sin!) Love is an energy that is meant to be experienced and shared. If you truly want to know God, stop eating from the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil” and eat of the “Tree of Life!” God is life, life is love. Peace to all! 🙏🏼❤️

I love this so much! Thank you!!!! I was radically saved from new age this past summer. Grew up with all new age concepts and so the conversion was actually anxiety inducing because I was so vulnerable and soaked up everything like a sponge. Not because of Jesus of course, but because of these terrifying doctrines. The first few months were probably some of the most tormenting and nightmarish times of my life. I was the only unbeliever in my family and I had young children whom I fear their eternity. Well, I started praying for truth and discernment on everything, including hell and God brought me right to Christian Universalism!! It changed so much for me and actually helps me lover everyone so much more! It’s definitely triggering for most mainstream Christians and so I haven’t come out with it yet, especially because I’m still so new to faith. I still experience the aftershocks of holding that awful belief. When God revealed truth to me I literally saw ECT for exactly what it was…a doctrine of demons. Pure evil. I’m building my faith back with God now. A bit of ptsd, but Jesus is so great!

Not exactly - actually, not by a long shot, if one considers the historical facts and realities involved. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish carpenter and itinerant rabbi from the Galilee - he was not a Christian, but a Torah observant Jew. The Christian religion, and the institutional church, is something that was founded by Paul and his followers, who established the Christian religion in Jesus' name, drawing inspiration from Jesus according to the doctrines of their theology.

@PInk77W1 3 года назад
@@naiman4535 no one I know has ever called Jesus a Christian ? A Christian is one who follows Jesus. Jesus said I will build MY church and it shall not perish. So yes it’s Jesus church. Paul was converted from a Christian hater to a Christian by Jesus. Paul wrote half the Christian New Testament. Paul was a Jew. Just recently the Catholic bishop of Paris France was a Jew. St Edith Stein was a Jew.

@@PInk77W1 Not really the truth and the whole truth about Paul, Him. That is the official party line of the Christian church, of course, but there was actually a lot more going on behind the scenes - in other words, it wasn't quite that simple. There's a lot more to Paul's history and background than meets the eye. One important truth about Paul, in fact one of the most important truths about him, is that Paul was never a personal disciple of Jesus, and never met Jesus in the flesh to study with him personally. Yet it was Paul's ideas and teachings about Jesus, rather than those of his personal disciples, that prevailed in creating the institutional religion of Christianity. An interesting situation, don't you think?

@@naiman4535 you make many mistakes. 1. Paul had no say in the final documents of the church. As Jesus told Paul during his miraculous event on the road. “Go to the city and YOU will be TOLD what to do.” So Paul had no say. Paul’s writings were put in the Bible by others, not by Paul. Also Jesus said The official line of the church is trust worthy. Jesus said “He who hears you hears me He who rejects you rejects me.” Jesus said “If your brother won’t listen to the church Treat him as an outsider.” So you are way off on many counts

@@PInk77W1Him, you have your head buried so far up your New Testament that you see nothing but what the institutional church wants you to believe. Again, there is a lot more to the story of Paul than was put into the New Testament. Sure, Paul's writings were put in the Bible by others, but it was PAUL who wrote them! "Go into the city and you will be told what to do" is from Luke's first telling of Paul's conversion story - the story is told two more times, with particular details that are quite at odds with the original account. But heck - there are conflicting accounts of the same events even among the different gospels. Books were selected for the New Testament mainly on the basis of their conformity to the overall teachings and message of Paul, with the main exceptions being the epistles of James and Jude, which were tucked away towards the back of the book in an inconspicuous place. James, or James the Just, was the head of the Jerusalem Church of Jewish Christianity and the original Jesus movement. You can read about the terrible problems and disagreements between Paul and James in chapters 15, 21, 22 and 23 of the Book of Acts. In these chapters, Paul even has death threats made against him by God fearing Jews - kinda strange if Paul was a real rabbi, right? At least Paul's buddy and protege Luke was honest and open enough to write about it in the Book of Acts. Heck yeah - there's a whole lot more about Paul than meets the eye, and some of it is even in the New Testament itself!

The bible still intrigues me though, and I'm seeing more and more in it that points to a new perspective. Forget the old 'Christian' interprations. The bible isn't about other people in the past or the future, but about YOU here and now. Every character is an aspect of you in your life and your being. That is the only way it makes any kind of sense. I'l probably post some more stuff in some of your other videos, as I like to listen to your insights!

What is the most loving thing God could do? The creator of the universe the one who formed you in you’re mother womb. The maker of the mountains and oceans. Of course the sacrifice wasn’t required. God had a plan from the beginning. Why have you let Satan in your heart? God prepared the way for sending himself in the flesh by telling mankind animals blood forgave sin. He knew he himself would come and die for mankind. I ask again what would be the most loving thing God could ever do? Die for his own creation..... he became flesh and blood and experienced every infliction we do. Died on the cross. He could of called upon 144,000 angels and stopped his death. He did his Father plan. The ungodly don’t understand the justice of God. Could you imagine being before the beginning of time and forming the planets and then becoming flesh and blood and dying for you’re own creation. That’s the strongest demonstration of LOVE their will ever be. Stay with Jesus. Leave religion.

You are so well spoken hun! You know you should become a preacher, right? What you talked about is exactly why I NEVER felt comfortable in any church. I believe I have the power of discernment and I coukd feel the fakeness and also such judgment. Not judgment on me, but of others that were there butane not dressed well... etc... I hated it. So I stopped going to church and reading the Bible, because I felt damned anyway, what's the point. But last year, I started spiritual journey and I found you and Jeff Mara, and a couple others but you two I watched everything you do. It has absolutely changed my life!

Hi Melissa I've been watching quite a few of your videos. I really feel the need to talk to you. I hope you will hear me. Your story is so valuable. You have described 2 extreme ends of the Christian spectrum. Hard Calvinism and Legalistic Arminionism. I want to say that neither of these are Christianity. I've been following Jesus for over 40 years. I've wrestled with this stuff. I've also been through all the questions and dilemmas that you describe. It must have been really hard being brought up in such a strict environment. I think I would also have followed a similar path if I had been subjected to that. I want to start with a concept that may surprise you. Have you ever considered the fact that God killed HIMSELF for the sin of the world? Some may critisise me for that thought. But Jesus clearly said things like "I and the father are one". "He who has seen me had seen the Father" and so on. You liken the idea of "God sending his son" to an earthly father sending his son but I think that description is only a shadow of what really happened. You have experienced for real what the spiritual realm is like. So I think the words "His ways are higher than our ways" will make a lot of sense to you. Jesus IS God. God wasn't just sitting there in heaven all comfy while Jesus suffering in agony. God also suffered. He felt every nail, felt every lash of the cat-o-nine tails, his heart broke with every spit of rejection of the people he loved so much. God took RESPONSIBILITY for the sin of the world. There are so many questions. How could God create finite beings with "weakness" unable to handle sin and then punish them for it? How Could God create humans with free will knowing they would choose to do evil and then send them to hell for it? Rather they had never been born. No. God took the sin of the world on HIMSELF. HE paid for it. How can God be both the Father and the son? In our finite understanding limited to this earthly existence, that is impossible. But the spiritual dimensions are so much deeper than humans can fathom. Don't forget Jesus went willingly. God did not "require it of him". He wanted to go. He is God. They are one. More to come

Wow...am I ever glad I didn't grow up in a church like yours, Melissa! It's a miracle that you held fast to Him with faith in His loving Nature. I was so blessed to grow up Catholic, attend a Catholic grammar school and receive at 7 years, the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus the Most High Son Who stepped down into this dense dimension to reach all of us. I could feel His Holiness and Grace in church even before my first Holy Communion. But I was just filled so much with His Love and Peace and Holy Presence I immediately fell in Love forever. I've never wanted much in this world, only more of God. When I was 22, after years of intense seeking for communion with the One God all worship, God the Father spoke to me and we've been in Love ever since. We have celebrated our 50th anniversary this Easter season. Personal experience and relationship is all the Father wants as does the Son and Holy Spirit.
