One more question: WHY WOULD GOD ALLOW A SICKNESS ON SOMEONE WHEN HE KNEW THE SICKNESS WOULD CAUSE THE PERSON TO DISTRUST EVEN MORE, LOSE FAITH EVEN MORE, BECOME EVEN MORE BROKEN AND LOST AND HURT AND BITTER, POSSIBLY CAUSING LOSS OF SALVATION, ETC. Why? I want to see God in a good light so badly but I’m just not so sure about anything anymore; it makes me think of the whole Calvinist belief of Predestination- like what if most of us just aren’t even in God’s view from the beginning and very few are actually predetermined to be elect. The majority of us seemed to not Even have a chance and that gives me the eeby jeebies and makes me question everything about God. I’m not saying I believe God is not good I just question it and everything else about God. But I don’t want to question anything about God I want to know without any doubts that God is good loving compassionate etc. Etc. I just felt like I was led into a trap as soon as I was born and never even had a chance due to God’s sovereignty over me and my life(He is the potter, I am simply the helpless clay in His hands)- I repeat that’s what it FEELS like sometimes.
WHAT IF WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE’RE BEING PUNISHED FOR?? (If that is even the case)
Ok but God is SOVEREIGN and He allows or does NOT allow Satan to attack us. That’s what I’m grappling with and it’s making me angry with God. I don’t want to be angry with God, but I am and I just need to work through it.
So lets remove in the Bible 1 John 1:9😅
Hi, I have a question. I started to feel a conviction, especially after watching the video. My cousin who is big atheist was saying a bunch of crazy things accusing God about being an alien and also saying that he just does whatever he wants he puts tumors in babies brains and gives them cancer. That’s what he wants to do essentially saying he just goes around for no good reason just cause he wants to Kills babies my response is that evil what you’re describing someone who does it is evil and God is not evil. God is pure and holy but now I’m wondering, was it wrong for me to say this if God is truly in control of everything as I’ve understood your previous videos and others God does use sickness as a form of punishment for sins and Can allow Satan to put an affliction on a person. Obviously all is for his glory and his good. I can understand that part but in response to someone who is saying that God just makes a baby sick just cause he wants to like I said implying that he just does random things for no reason is that wrong to say obviously I think in context we can understand God can use sickness for a form of glory although it is rare in the case of Job and Paul again, we read that he will never let us be tempted beyond able so clearly those two men were upright and outstanding that he knew that if Satan would afflict them they would with stand a test but I think for the average person are we to think that God just does things for no reason as my cousin is describing or are we to understand that when we step out from God will afflict us. But how are we to understand when sickness falls on children or in this case of baby who hasn’t gotten a chance to do anything wrong? I’ve always understood that sicknesses that come via that form or due to the natural state of our fall world sometimes from Satan, but are we supposed to attribute that sickness from God directly, I appreciate your help. This is a very tricky subject, and I can’t seem to find a clear answer.
Not sure why Francis ignores the two Schisms of the 5th Century and the Church of the East and the Oriental Orthodox Church. The Church was not one for the first thousand years.
How can anyone watch your video or simply read the Bible and still believe OSAS and the hyper grace garbage? Arguing with these lost souls is like debating Flat Earthers, a waste of time. They obviously have reprobate minds don't deserve Salvation.

Francis Chan has another gospel.
Quran Chapter No. 4 verse NO. 171 O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. ---------------------------------------------- These are the words of Allah, not mine. It is better for you to read the Holy Quran once in English. Jesus Our 2nd last Prophet How can a human being be the God of people? What ignorance are you living in?

I really wish you wouldn’t put music with the video
Paul recognized that Jesus did not abolish tithing, he added to it, not in law, but in the freedom to give and receive. Hebrews 7:8 (NIV) "In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living." Paul writes this after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus- maybe decades after. Paul discusses the concept of tithes and priesthood in the context of Jesus' eternal priesthood in the book of Hebrews, particularly in Hebrews 7. In this verse, Paul contrasts the mortal Levitical priests, who collect tithes and eventually die, with Jesus, who is "declared to be living" and holds an eternal priesthood. This implies that Jesus, in his eternal priesthood, is in a position similar to Melchizedek's, who received tithes from Abraham. Melchizedek is presented as a type or foreshadowing of Christ's eternal priesthood. Just as Melchizedek received tithes from Abraham, Jesus, as a priest in the order of Melchizedek, is implied to be worthy of receiving tithes. Jesus' priesthood is eternal and superior to the Levitical priesthood, which suggests that he holds a continual and everlasting role in interceding for believers. While the text does not explicitly say that Jesus physically receives tithes today, it symbolically aligns the giving of tithes to the eternal priesthood of Jesus. This means that when believers give, it can be seen as an act of worship and honor to Christ, who is their eternal high priest. The emphasis is on the spiritual and eternal nature of Jesus' priesthood, suggesting that acts of giving, including tithes, are directed towards Jesus in a spiritual sense, recognizing his perpetual priesthood. Paul’s statements in Hebrews 7, especially verse 8, suggests that Jesus, as the eternal high priest in the order of Melchizedek, is symbolically in a position to receive tithes, emphasizing the spiritual significance of giving as an act of worship to Christ. While Paul does not explicitly state that Jesus "receives tithes" in the same way as the Levitical priests, he makes a significant comparison between the Levitical priesthood and the priesthood of Melchizedek, to which Jesus belongs. Paul recounts how Abraham gave a tenth (tithe) of everything to Melchizedek, who was both a king and a priest (Hebrews 7:1-2). He argues that Melchizedek's priesthood is superior to the Levitical priesthood because Levi, the ancestor of the Levitical priests, effectively paid tithes through Abraham (Hebrews 7:4-10). Having said all that, Paul points out that Jesus does receive tithes today. Just in case you missed it, Hebrews 7:8 (NIV) In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. Pretty clear to me that the present day ministry of Jesus includes receiving tithes from believers. What does appear to be true is that tithing is not a NT law. It is not compulsory. If anything, it is superseded by a higher law of free will giving. Just as Abraham first gave a tenth in response to Gods deliverance, so believers today are free to give from their own heart an amount or frequency they deem appropriate. Notice it is a higher law, not an escape from tithing. A higher law has greater consequences. Giving and receiving is written about many times in the NT and one would have to be willfully blind to say it is not true. The main principle to follow is not whether tithing is or isn’t under the law, or is or isn’t done away with. The main principle is do we have something better? Hebrews 8:6 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. ALL argument about tithing is concerned with being free from tithing as if it is wicked or onerous. The fact is the new covenant is a better covenant than the old. Tithing was a blessing, not a curse, under the old. We have something better, which is not freedom from tithing, but freedom to give and receive as much as one wants from the heart. In that context, if one tithes from the heart, the OT blessings are still relevant today. Tithing is the beginning of giving and blessings, not the end. we have a new and better covenant with better promises. Learn those promises and practice believing God instead of avoiding God and the blessing that goes with tithing will be seen to be true today. The Biblical Perspective in the NT on giving. 1 Corinthians 9:13-14 (NIV): "Don't you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel." 1 Corinthians 16:2 provides a structured approach to charitable giving within the early Christian community, emphasizing regular, proportional, and intentional contributions to support those in need. Paul, the apostle, gives instructions to the church in Corinth regarding the collection of funds for the saints in Jerusalem. It reads: "On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made." Paul is instructing the Corinthians to make their contributions regularly , specifically on Sunday, which is the day Christians gather to worship. This reflects the early Christian practice of meeting on the first day of the week, commemorating Jesus' resurrection. He emphasizes that every member of the community should participate in this act of giving. Each person is to give according to their financial ability. So contributions are based on what one has, ensuring fairness.
God empowers him to deliver a passionate word of god. He is a beautiful example of how we as Christian's be and live. This is serious. Love well.
I love your Francis Chan videos ❤
I’m a Christian. There are way too many videos of leg stretching and it makes me skeptical. How about a new tooth? Skin lesions dissolving? Cataracts disappear? But leg growing???
He’s very right. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fI2pz7eagrvQcps.htmlsi=QHZzsx8kZfoxRMm4
I died when I was 3 . God told me among other things I’d suffer. I’ve realized it’s part of the process . Yes we need to speak this TRUTH instead of focus on the blessings as miracles. Suffering IS a a blessing !!!!!
Thank you.🙏👍
Instrumental is nowhere to be found
Love the music...... david played music when saul had a demon and the demon couldn't stand it and it left saul..... every time it retured saul called David to play.......
My brother what make you think you are rite ? You are saying thing you cofusing your self and how do you know you a teacher
My leadership won't help me with a sinful issue because they're friends with the offender. I feel so hurt
Dear Brother, This sermon by John MacArthur is 100% accurate. This is what Scripture teaches plainly, simple and clear. Your explanation is seriously off the mark. While grace is fully undeserved favour all from God, a true Christian must bear the fruits in keeping with true repentance and faith. The Gospel is clear, God sent God to save us from God. The thief on the cross that Jesus saved shows us the bear minimum that is required to be saved. May God help you see His truth plainly.
I’m correct his old videos from years ago they’re not recent

Are those who died infants saved?
Yes because they didn't have the sound mind to even know what religion or God was to even be able to choose for themselves. God gives babies a pass
@@liannemarie2504 But Francis Chan here said "no one is righteous" and "everyone falls short of the glory of God". According to him, babies are not saved. But according to you, they are. Sadly, only one of you is right.
@WisdomfromScriptures-pz9vz did you ask him specifically babies or did you just assume?
@@liannemarie2504 I didn't ask him but I have an english dictionary. It says "no one" and "everyone" as used by Francis refers to all human beings, including babies. Why, do you have a different definition of "no one" or "everyone"?
We are sanctified in the same way we are justified... - BY FAITH in what Jesus did Heb10:10 and is doing still.1Thes5:23,24 TOTAL DEPENDANCE on Him As Paul said in Phil1:6 - being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you willperform it until the day of Jesus Christ. AKJV
Please which episode is this
What do you do when you need to respond to VM, Facebook, Twitter, etc.? Hire a secretary that knows you .... Lisa Chan. 😂
Of course Francis Chan is not Jesus. He is sharing his love for Jesus. He is spreading The Word and keeping it in the sunlight. Celebrate the preachings. Do not condemn the believers. Keep God and His scripture alive and in our world so everyone can be saved and continue to walk in His ways.
You don't know the times because you don't listen to the Lord's prophets!
I do that almost every time I go to church unless it’s something I’ve already heard preached on. Thank You Lord for guiding me in that.
The back ground music through the whole things takes soo much away from this amazing message. Does anyone know where this original message is? To possibly hear it without the terrible music.
YOU DO KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TEACHER,RIGHT??
Thanks brother,God uses anyone whose available. This talk really challenges me to put my faith to action and not just go with the flow.
Jesus!
Please please Pastor Chan. Cut the music. It is distracting!
I think I’m at the phase in my Christian life where I need to watch this 5 times to really get this mentality into my heart. I trust that it will be worth it

Noah's genetics were pure vs having only DNA from the mother. Noah's family retained 144,000 chromosomes. The children that were the result of fallen angels coming into the daughters of men had only their mother's contribution of chromosomes, 72,000. We're tampering with the seed of plants, animals and human beings today, just as in the days of Noah. Real science is proving from the DNA of nephilim bones that the DNA has only one contributor, the mother.
Hmm, God's word says in Isaiah 40:22 that we look like grasshoppers to him as he sits enthroned above the circle of the earth. Seems to be that his footstool is our ceiling. Science so called tells of a spinning ball earth and the men who claimed to have reached the moon have something very peculiar in common. Think secret society.
Amen
I admire France’s obedience! I’m 31 and I’ve only encountered a few ministers that remind me of what I read in the New Testament and he is one of them. It’s not easy to lead an authentic Christian life in today’s world. I feel like the encouragement of fellowship is super underrated!!
Pray for each of them by name?
Mixing law and gospel as usual
Nothing like a bit of works righteousness for Christmas. I'll stick to the gospel thanks very much.
I am save
