Thanks for sharing. It is outstanding. I shared the link to my facebook. Have a GREAT DAY!
I hate to be a wet blanket but that has nothing to do with God. It's about the most unbiblical thing I've seen lately from start to finish.
It irks me when folks reduce the Great I Am to a feeble old white guy in a robe answering inane questions so that folks who watch these videos can feel good about themselves and not actually confront the real actual revealed God.
God cannot be seen by humans, nor interviewed, nor is He "surprised" by anything as He's Omniscient.
Then the video talks about Him as a "parent" and He's not. He's the Triune God, creator of all things, infinitely holy.
Then the interviewer asks about what humans should know about and instead of talking about the ONE thing that the bible's focus is (and that is the ONLY thing in humanity that really holds any meaning at all) it talks about more "feel good" stuff that has no eternal value at all.
The message of the bible (authored by God) is that men are doomed, dead in sin; lost, and unless they repent and turn to their only hope in Jesus Christ, then they will die in their sin and receive their just reward in Hell.
That's the message, not puppies and wildflowers and self help.
Like I said...i'm sorry to be a wet blanket but that's the truth. May God have mercy on us for being so casual in our lack of fear of Him.

The video is idiotic, but your ideas are simplistic and grounded by pure superstition. How on Earth would anyone KNOW that the bible is authored by god? Which god?

Lol...so you come out of the gate with some raw assertions (something you couldn't possibly know unless you had all knowledge) , then within one sentence challenge my ability to know something?
Try and think more rationally next time.
But after having pointed out the obvious flaw in your reasoning, I'll answer your question.
I KNOW that the bible is authored by God because God said it and God cannot lie. (which is the same way you know it too, except you suppress that truth)
As for which god?
The only God that exists. (which is the same way you know that God exists except you suppress that knowledge)
How do I know that He's the only true God and all others are fiction?
Because ONLY by presupposing THAT God can anything exist...morality, the logic we are using in this conversation, knowledge, etc. All human experience can only be justified and made sense of by presupposing that God.

I know that god did not author the bible but man is the author of The bible. And man alone is the source of the absurdity of all the world religions.
And if you don't believe that, read the tenants of other religions and tell me they're not as nutty as what you believe.

Ok...I'll play along.
How can you logically "know" that God didn't author the bible?
(Hint: You'd have to have all knowledge to make that claim)

I'll tell you that right after you first answer my question. We can't get anywhere unless we keep on track. You made an assertion, I challenged you to justify it, ball in your court.

I can't believe where this post I made has gone. Some people just have to make everything ugly.
I have watched this before a few times, and did just now. It brought tears to my eyes. So true, and very good things to ponder. Thank you so much for sharing this-a beautiful way to start the new year! Happy New Year!

Forgot to say, the photography on this is outstanding as well.
The best news that a human could share isn't "ugly" at all. To tell the truth about how to be saved isn't ugly, it's the most loving thing a person could do if they are a Christian.
If a person claims to be Christian yet avoids telling the truth to the lost about how they can be saved but instead shares "self help" homilies that wouldn't be loving at all would it?
After all, Jesus said: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”
Beautiful Walter! No need to apologize for possibly 'offending' anyone. It's my opinion that if anyone is offended by this, that instead of an apology, they need prayer!
