6.5 minute video: Talking to a lady in the office about what the real gospel is as opposed to mere religion.

A few observations in which some may disagree:
  1. God so Loved the whole creation that He Gave…. There is no exclusion or exclusively select that Gods only loves, such teaching (imo) discredits the statement of the Lord to Nicodemus.
  2. Some point to God’s wrath as an indication of an expression of no Love, I disagree, for such is an indication of Justice not love. If God didn’t love, He wouldn’t care, but the Scriptures state that “God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.”
  3. No one is redeemed without the Word, and without the Work of the Holy Spirit. The thinking that one needs educated in doctrine as this video attempts to present is not leading anyone to the Christ, but causing confusion by implying “you are ignorant and I am not, so let me tell you why.” Such is Pride! Paul said, “... Christ and Him crucified…”. The death, burial, and resurrection should not be muddled with intellectualism that can create division and present one as lacking of humility.

What was the prayer Christ pleaded concerning the ungodly as we crucified Him?

ugh ... sorry @KenH ... I can't tolerate the robo voices. I get too much of it at the outfit ... these very same mis-inflected pronunciations.

got to the first statement ... salvation is by God's grace not man's works.

ding ding ding.

Good points, old man. I mostly agree though probably would use different terminology than you.

What you mean "we", paleface? The seed of the serpent bruised His heel, not "we".
Merely referring to when my Saviour’s plea was made to the Father to forgive them because they didn’t know what they were doing, I was apart of that plea, for I too was there.

oh, not physically, but in the loins of those present as we all were.

There is repentance and praise mingled from our hearts over that plea of the Lord.

Repentance that the heavy heap of my sin that he bore was so great and praise that He took it all upon Him. What return can I make for such sorrow and love?

That the quiet plea to the Father was measured to me as well!
