Do not take this Darwin’s quote as an attack of God. There’s no way you can make the horrid sound nice. Do not seek justification for suffering, pain and predation. I do not know whether God has created the wasp in question as such, or all the abominations of Life the way we see them around us now, I tend to agree with Darwin…
Either way – there’s no evidence of that in Genesis.
When it comes to the existence of evil, I prefer to stick to simpler and plainer explanation:
Mathew 13:24-30
And vnto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened vnto the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commaunded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake: in sorow shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life.
Thornes also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee: and thou shalt eate the herbe of the field.
In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne vnto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken, for dust thou art, and vnto dust shalt thou returne.
– Genesis 3:17-19
God cursed the earth because man brought sin into the place he had been put to steward Genesis 3). Creation is groaning, waiting for Jesus to one day renew it to the way it should be. One day the lion will lie with the lamb and the parasitic wasp will find a plant to feed on.
“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.”
Romans 8:20-23 ESV
Everything God made was good. It’s not until we understand the consequences of sin and the consequences thereof that is degradation of life – Genetic entropy & the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics proves nothing has evolved, but that everything is deteriorating. The entire Creation is groaning because of what ‘man’ has done.
You don’t have to explain the ‘bad’ creatures by finding the good they do. The creatures God created were good. None of them harmed each other. None of them ate each other. Hugo is wrong in trying to explain it the way he does. There is one reason only why horrible creatures exist and pain and suffering exists in God’s wonderful creation. It happened the day Lucifer landed on earth when he and his battalion of angels began to spoil God’s wonderful creation.
Why do people who say they believe in God forget about the Devil and all his works?
How art thou fallen from heauen, O Lucifer, sonne of the morning? how art thou cut downe to the ground, which didst weaken the nations?
For thou hast said in thine heart; I wil ascend into heauen, I wil exalt my throne aboue the starres of God: I wil sit also vpon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the North.
I wil ascend aboue the heights of the cloudes, I wil bee like the most High.
– Isaiah 14:12-14
Thou hast beene in Eden the garden of God; euery precious stone was thy couering, the Sardius, Topaze, and the Diamond, the Beril, the Onyx, and the Iasper, the Saphir, the Emeraude, and the Carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee, in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the annointed Cherub that couereth: and I haue set thee so; thou wast vpon the holy mountaine of God; thou hast walked vp and downe in the middest of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy wayes from the day that thou wast created, till iniquitie was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they haue filled the middest of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as prophane out of the mountaine of God: and I wil destroy thee, O couering Cherub, from the middest of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted vp because of thy beautie, thou hast corrupted thy wisedome by reason of thy brightnesse.
– Ezekiel 28:13-17

Actually he created angels, all of whom were perfect but had free will, if he didn’t give them free will the same as we have, he may as well have made robots.
The angel in Eden CHOSE to rebel against Gods right to rule, his sovereignty and to lie to the woman God had made.
That is when he became Satan the devil…which means slanderer and resister.
He told the first lie when he spoke these words to Eve…Gen 3:4…
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
4 And the Serpent said to the Woman, “You shall not really die…
That is why Jesus called him “the father of the lie” John 8:44.

So who created the Devil?
It was God,
why? because God created everything.
So God created the Devil. If God created the Devil and the Devil causes the act of sin, then God created a system that creates Sin.
God has created everything that ever has been, is, or will be (John 1:3). This includes physical beings and matter as well as spiritual beings (Colossians 1:15–17). The only person who has the power of being in and of Himself—meaning He has no beginning or ending—and is self-existent is God (Exodus 3:14). All other beings were therefore created by God and belong to God (Psalm 24:1).
Wow Hugo I’m very concerned about some things you are saying.
You are accusing God of creating the devil and sin, do I have that right?
If so then you are very wrong, how long have you been reading scripture? Reading is not enough we need to be researching it, we are told to “dig for truth like buried treasure” you are also listening to the ideas of others who believe the trinity lie, the immortal soul and other unbiblical things.
Almighty God (YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah) is holy and pure goodness he cannot even look upon sin and badness….Habakkuk 1:13…
Christian Standard Bible
“Your eyes are too pure to look on evil, and you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do you tolerate those who are treacherous? Why are you silent while one who is wicked swallows up one who is more righteous than himself?”
Why on earth would you blame God for the devil and his evil?
The rebellious Edenic cherub made himself Satan and devil (slanderer and resister) he had free will like us and he chose to stand against his creator and challenge his Gods sovereignty.
Even Jesus said Satan is the “father of the lie” and that the “whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one” 1 John 5:19…so at present the whole earth is under satanic rule, not Gods.
However we all have free will and can choose whom we will obey, if we hope to have a future on the paradise earth to come then we had better choose wisely 🙏🏻

Hugo has been given so much truth so quickly by our Lord – a sign of the times in which we live. All glory to our Saviour. When we talk of suffering look at God made man – He suffered more than anyone – – he was perfect and was so badly disfigured his organs were on display and he died for the very people who beat and nailed him to the cross. God allowed his only son to suffer horrendously – his sacrifice means, if we believe, the penalty of death has been paid for the wages of sin is death and we all sin. Crucially his resurrection is our blessed hope and means we can if accounted worthy join the blessed first resurrection at the end of this age. Peter said concerning the end of age that a day is a thousand years and the last day will be the millennial thousand years. We have had almost six days/six thousand years and the signs of Matthew 24 are there for all to witness today. If we love our Messiah we will keep his commands and be a good witness of his plan found throughout the old testament – the appointed times. He will come at the last trumpet to collect his bride/ feast of trumpets very soon. Come Lord Jesus come.Repent and believe… The Holy Spirit will guide and strengthen you = the comforter. Our blessed hope is eternal life and the rest of the world worries only about the flesh and this short time on earth which is just a test to determine whether we can choose to love as Jesus did whilst undergoing the crushing from which the oil comes that allows us to take part at the wedding feast after atonement – the wedding feast that the foolish virgins were locked out of for lack of oil. His appointed times are in Leviticus 23 – the plan of redemption – Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts and the autumn ones starting with Trumpets will all be fulfilled very soon. Lastly – keep his sabbath which man changed from saturday to sunday – though the Lord never changed it – he does not change – he sanctified it at creation – long before it became a so called ‘Jewish’ thing. Repent – the enemy is in the mirror and I say that to myself every day lest I blame and war against flesh and blood – don’t judge anyone – Jesus sits on the throne and not us… one day we may join him.
Please can I just correct you and Hugo (newly into scripture) and anyone else who believes the trinity lie that Almighty God came down to earth to be born as a man!!!!
It was Gods SON that was born a man and gave his life for mankind.
Imagine any of you giving up your firstborn to die for the world….just what excruciating grief would you experience having to do that???
Yet by believing Satans lie of the trinity, those who believe it are not only making a mockery of God and his beloved son, worse still they depreciate/devalue the cost and great loss to our Father of his beloved firstborn son.
Anyone believing this satanic lie should be ashamed of themselves.
Iv always seen it as this…
There is a good place full of joy and love and then a bad place full of hate and despair.
In between, is our life. Our world. Where we experience the joys of birth and the sadness of death. Where we have choice to do good or to follow sin and desire.
We have both traits of the two realms. It’s how we deal with the negativity that gives us access to the good place. If we lived in a world with no bad things and no bad feelings we would never be tested and earn our right.
Some people are parasitic wasps, like the people he worked for…

Insects don’t have many neurons in their nervous systems. They seem to be more like sophisticated robots. They simply react to stimuli in predetermined ways. It seems unlikely that they experience suffering the way humans do, if they experience it at all.
It’s strange that Darwin should grieve over the suffering of caterpillars when his theory (actually he stole it from Alfred Wallace) has lead to untold suffering among humans since it was propounded.
I thought Darwin thought of himself as agnostic not atheist 🤷♀️Anyway I was brought up with a belief in god but was happy to believe I was brainwashed but when I searched for my own answers and delved into evolution I learned that our planet has over 8 million complex life forms ! They can’t even see another planet abundant with life like ours, it truly is miraculous and reading the bible I have come to know about our purpose on earth and I trust in the future we will be rescued from all the evil and corruption caused by wicked spirits here on earth misleadingly mankind.
So you Don’t believe in dinosaurs but you do believe in Jesus ??? One you can physically see proof of and one was just written about 100 years after the even when Supernatural events occurred (Stuff that’s written in today’s comics)
And why don’t you believe? Because to do so would disprove Jesus existence… come on.. really ?? One is real and you can touch and one is a story !!
Personally I believe in a creator and dinosaurs considering the Bible mentions the large land animals and the fossil record backs this up because a huge variety of bones etc have been discovered over centuries.
Job 38:
“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,”
2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
All you ignorant heathen read the rest of these chapters in Job and stop spouting dung

I Googled “parasitic moths” which gave more positive assessments of the insect. It said the invasive beetle called the Emerald Ash tree Borer, originally from Asia, has destroyed millions of ash trees in the USA. Scientists plan to control the destruction caused by this beetle with tiny parasitic wasps from China and Russia.
I never believed in the “big bang” theory or evolution even though I was an atheist most of my life (until a couple years ago). So how can a self-professed atheist shun evolution? Easy. Evolution never made sense to me. I honestly believed there MUST be a third option that wasn’t the Genesis story or evolution.
So then how did this atheist finally KNOW that there is a God?
Well about 6-7 years ago I came across a video that showed a homemade rocket that went way up in the clouds and there it was!!! The sun at the rocket’s eye level with a sun spot beneath it. There could only be ONE explanation for that. The sun is small and right over the earth. It could not be millions of miles away or there wouldn’t be a sun spot underneath it. It still took me 3 days of intensive research to come to KNOW that I had been lied to my whole life. The earth truly is flat and the sun and moon (equal sized) rotate overhead in a circle around us. I also came to KNOW that the earth is indeed enclosed within a “firmament” (dome). Once I gained this understanding I KNEW there was a creator God.
But I had so many issues with the Bible, especially the OT where God seemed like a murderous, jealous, prejudicial God. So that one took me a couple more YEARS to finally come to the truth of the matter that the God of the Bible is the true creator and the Bible is the truth. It has been a long arduous road but it has been well worth it.
This is OBVIOUSLY why they have hidden the flat, domed earth behind their ridiculous ball, flying through limitless space nonsense. It clearly hides God!
Isaiah 40:22….referring to Almighty God…
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
“And him who sits on the sphere of The Earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretched out the Heavens like a vaulted bowl, and stretched them out as a tent for a dwelling”
NWT with references…
22 “There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth,+ the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell”
This Hebrew word has also been rendered globe.
The Hebrew word in question is khûg (חוּג) which is also found in Job 22:14 where, in many Bible versions, it is translated ‘vault’. For example, the New American Standard Bible reads, “Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see; and He walks on the vault of heaven.” Clearly ‘vault’ carries the sense of something three-dimensional and is given as the primary meaning of khûg in the well-known Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon.1 In modern Hebrew, a sphere is denoted by khûg, along with kaddur, galgal, and mazzal.2 In Arabic (another Semitic language), kura means ball and is the word used in the Van Dyck-Boustani Arabic Bible (1865) to translate khûg in Isaiah 40:22.
If a group of people form a circle they are not flat or 1 dimensional, although viewed from above they would look flat just as the earth does. It is all about perspective.
I am not sure of your point but maybe I am just misunderstanding your post.
Isaiah 40:22 KJV reads
“22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:”
What is a circle? A pizza is a circle. What is a sphere? A beach ball is a sphere. Is the earth a circle (a pizza) like Isaiah says or is it a sphere (beach ball)?
The correct answer comes from God’s word. In incorrect answer comes from Satan!
Isaiah 7:18,19
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers
“And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.”
God is in charge…what a mighty God we serve
Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
If you ask most people how to get to heaven, their response will be something like this:
“If you do more good things than bad things, God will probably let you into heaven.”
This false idea has caused multitudes to go to hell. There is nothing that you can do on your own that will erase the sins that you have committed.
That is the reason Jesus willingly shed his sinless blood on the cross to pay for your sins. He came to save you from the guilt of past sins and the power of sin over your life. You are about to read the most important information that you will ever read. It is called the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The word “gospel” means “message.” The gospel is God’s message to mankind. If you will yield to the gospel, you will be reconciled to God and you will escape eternal damnation in hell and the lake of fire. You will have abundant life right now as you walk with God in spite of all the pain and suffering that is in the world. If you are doubtful that the Bible is true, ask God for the faith to believe it and for help to understand the gospel.
Many people refer to the gospel as “good news” but it is only good news for those who receive it. To those who reject the good news, the gospel is the stench of death. . . eternal death. Revelation 14:6-7 tells us the message of the everlasting gospel–
“Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
There is only one way to do this–through the blood of Jesus Christ. Repent ye and believe the gospel!
The Bible says that no one has is good enough morally to qualify to enter heaven. Each one of us has broken God’s commandments. You have personally lied and committed other sins.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
Let God be true, but every man a liar…( Romans 3:4)
The number of good deeds you have done, including giving large amounts of money to church or charities, will not make you acceptable in the sight of God. The Bible says that you are spiritually dead in your tresspasses and sins. Your good deeds do not commend you to God in any way. You have ignored God by living our life in the way that you have seen fit.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
According to the above verse, we still come up short even when we try to do good deeds because we are not doing them under God’s authority. Doing good deeds in your own strength and under your own authority is an unclean thing in the sight of God.
“But I never killed anybody and I’m not a dope addict!” In God’s sight you are still spiritually undone and wicked in his sight. You have broken the greatest commandment in the Bible and you are as guilty as a harlot, a whoremonger, a murderer, a thief and a liar. What is the greatest commandment?
“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind. THIS is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:36-38
It is easy to see that you have broken this commandment every day of your life. Loving yourself and putting yourself first comes naturally. Those who are not yet reconciled to God do this as a matter of course.
If good deeds could pay for your sins then Jesus died for nothing:
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Galatians 2:21)
God is holy. We are sinful. By His very nature, God cannot have fellowship with us sinners. There is no amount of “good” that we can do to make up for our crimes against God. They must be punished. And the wages of sin is DEATH- physical death (the casket) and spiritual death (when the soul is separated from God and cast into hell).
The wages of sin is death…(Romans 6:23)
God does not want to remain your enemy and He does not want you to go to Hell.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die… (Ezekiel 33:11)
The Lord is…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9)
In spite of your wickedness and rebellion, God loved you enough to send His only begotten Son to die for your sins:
“… thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matt 1:21).
Jesus did not die so that you could keep sinning and go to heaven. He came to save you from the guilt and the power of sin. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil on Calvary (I John 3:8). Before you surrender in faith to Jesus Christ, sin dominates you. Sin is your master and you are its servant.
You are under the wrath of a holy and just God. Murderers, thieves, fornicators, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, rebels, and all other spiritual lepers will not inherit the kingdom of God. The blood of Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. That means if we will turn in faith to Jesus Christ his blood will take way the guilt of the sins we’ve committed and it will usher us into a Father-child relationship with God. Through the blood of Jesus, we are to serve sin no more.
Again, the Father sent His only begotten Son, Jesus who is God, to die in your place. Remember that the wages of sin is death–that is why He died, to pay YOUR wages. The Lord Jesus Christ died in your place in order to pay for your sins and mine.
The world’s greatest love story is summed up in the following verse–
For God so loved the world, that he gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16
Jesus said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) How can you show more love than giving your very life for someone else’s life? You can’t. What is more amazing is that Jesus died for us WHILE WE WERE HIS ENEMIES! I mean vile, wicked, pitiful, wretched, unclean, unholy, ungodly, prideful, spiritually filthy.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
…Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6)
God demonstrated his love for you on the cross 2,000 years ago! God is not hateful; He is loving. He gave His Son for you even though you are dead in your sins.
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth to:
(1) save you from the GUILT and POWER of your sins and
(2) RECONCILE you unto God. Through faith in the blood of Jesus you will escape the wrath to come and joyfully look forward to heaven–and you’ll live an overcoming life. God will be your Father instead of your enemy–but only through the blood of Jesus.
..the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I John 1:7)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
After His death, the Lord’s body laid in the grave three days, but praise be to God, it did not remain there. On the third day Jesus arose from the dead and was seen by over 500 people (I Corin 15:6) before He went back to heaven.
Please remember that Jesus was not some victim or just a baby in a manger. He was and is the eternal God and Savior who came to earth and gave His own blood for your sins. After He accomplished this tremendous feat, He rose from the dead like He said He would:
“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again…” (John 10:17-18)
…Christ died for our sins…and he was buried, and…he rose again the third day… (I Corinthians 15:3-4)
Are you ready to repent of your sins? To repent means to forsake your evil ways and listen to God. All your life you’ve been your own authority concerning what is right and what is wrong. You’ve made your own decisions while ignoring what the Lord says in His holy word, the Bible. You’ve served yourself and not God. To repent means that you turn to God as your authority. It means you can say, “Lord everything you say in the Bible is right. If my feelings contradict the Bible I am wrong. Lord I want to live under your authority, not my own.”
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to REPENT. (Acts 17:30)
…TURN TO GOD, AND DO WORKS MEET FOR REPENTANCE. (Acts 26:20)
Repentance must be from the heart. Are you prepared to exercise your will to live for the Lord? Jesus said:
“And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:27)
You must be willing to give up your own authority over your life and surrender it to Jesus Christ. If you want to come to Jesus Christ to be saved you must be willing to live God’s way. He will give you the strength to live for him but you have got to be willing for him to tell you what to do. You must turn from living in the way that leads to death. Do you want God to be your Father rather than your enemy? Do you want the Lord and His holy ways? Do you want to be delivered from the powers of darkness you have invited into your life by sinful living? If you do, you are ready to come to Jesus Christ and be saved.
Jesus waits with open arms for those that want life. The choice is yours. If you’re sick of being alienated from God, if you’re tired of what this wicked and perverse world has to offer, if you want Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, if you want to be reconciled unto your Creator, if you want to go to heaven, if you want to escape hell — put your faith in the one who can do something about it! Do you believe that Jesus Christ died for you? Do you believe that He rose from the dead? Do you repent of your sins? Do you want to follow Jesus?
If so, repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. The only one who can save you is the Lord Jesus Christ. You must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved:
When he asked, “Sirs, what MUST I do to be SAVED?” (Acts 16:30)Paul and Silas said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:31)
If you will place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved from your sins and be born into the family of God:
By grace are you saved, through faith, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8
If you have placed your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ you will begin your new life of freedom and obedience to the Lord. Now you need to (1) start reading the Bible (Authorized King James Version of 1611–begin with the gospels) and (2) you need to get yourself into a Bible-believing church that uses the King James Bible so you can get baptized and discipled in the way of Christ.
(Important: We are in the last days–the time of the falling away from the faith of Jesus. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:3) There are few churches that are biblically sound to associate with because so many deviate from the scriptures and promote false doctrines. Read your New Testament several times and begin working through the Old Testament before you consider putting yourself under the influence of institutions that call themselves churches.)
Warning
Once you get saved, Satan will work to try to cause you to encounter false doctrine. Because you are a new born babe in the faith, you will be prone to believe anything people tell you about the Bible. (That is why you need to read it for yourself everyday).
Please heed these warnings:
1. You do not need to “speak in tongues” to show that you are saved or that you have the Holy Spirit. These people take one or two passages out of context and make false doctrine out of them.
2. Water baptism is an important act of obedience but it does not save you. If you are saved, you will get baptized out of obedience. [Make sure a godly person baptizes you. You are better off being baptized by a family member or friend in a swimming pool than by an unproven pastor that you do not know for certain is godly.] Saved people are children of obedience (Heb 5:9). The gospel and baptism are separate–I Cor 1:17. You are baptized in order to outwardly identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and to symbolically show the washing away of sins. So if you are trusting in your baptism to save you, you are wrong. An unrepentant sinner will go down a dry sinner and come out a wet sinner.
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
3. Avoid the false Hebrew Roots teachers who try to tell you that you are in disobedience if you don’t keep the sabbath days, feasts, holy days, etc. Colossians 2:16 is clear:
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.
If you have not surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ, I hope that you won’t continue to reject His offer of eternal life. You are in a dangerous position. John 3:36 says,
“. . . he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
You will not make it into heaven on your own “good merits” or by your own conception of who you are and of what you think God should be like. He always has His way–the choice is yours to obey Jesus Christ or reject Jesus Christ
Hello Hugo, can I ask: did you delete my second comment or did it just disappear mysteriously? I’m not here to annoy you or troll you, if my comments are unwelcome, I’d love to know and I’ll stop writing them.
This was such a wonderful video, Hugo, and really hammers home the message that we ought to focus on the beauty of Creation and the harmony of life by which we are surrounded, showing gratitude to God for all He has done, rather than dwelling in the trap of fear set by those who wish to abuse and control us.
This was the perfect way to start my day. Thank you.
Darwin was a 33rd degree freemason. A Satanic Cult anyway.
Why is it, that all the world ‘influencers’ that are respected now days , are ALL Anti Christ, in their teachings? Because this is Satan’s time, and he’s doing everything he can to lure souls AWAY from the truth. The suffering in the world is because of Satan. HE tempted Eve and Adam to disobey God, and so soiled the perfection that was Eden. Don’t blame God for the sht. Without God’s influence and staying hand upon the world, it would literally be a living HELL on earth.
Hugo, what is the explanation for the abuse of innocent children? I have always wondered this. It has always been my reason for questioning the existence of God.
Very true I have a gardener as I fully paralysed he’s doing brilliant job planting veg all doing nice trees flowers bird feeders so spend most of day enjoying watching birds and flowers better than news
Do not take this Darwin’s quote as an attack of God. There’s no way you can make the horrid sound nice. Do not seek justification for suffering, pain and predation. I do not know whether God has created the wasp in question as such, or all the abominations of Life the way we see them around us now, I tend to agree with Darwin…
Either way – there’s no evidence of that in Genesis.
When it comes to the existence of evil, I prefer to stick to simpler and plainer explanation:
Mathew 13:24-30
Best regards
And vnto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened vnto the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commaunded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake: in sorow shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life.
Thornes also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee: and thou shalt eate the herbe of the field.
In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne vnto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken, for dust thou art, and vnto dust shalt thou returne.
– Genesis 3:17-19
God cursed the earth because man brought sin into the place he had been put to steward Genesis 3). Creation is groaning, waiting for Jesus to one day renew it to the way it should be. One day the lion will lie with the lamb and the parasitic wasp will find a plant to feed on.
“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.”
Romans 8:20-23 ESV
There is a very interesting video on YouTube by a zoology professor who addresses this with the curse of the earth and its manifestations.
It is titled: 106 – Creation to Restoration / Genesis Conflict – Walter Veith
Everything God made was good. It’s not until we understand the consequences of sin and the consequences thereof that is degradation of life – Genetic entropy & the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics proves nothing has evolved, but that everything is deteriorating. The entire Creation is groaning because of what ‘man’ has done.
Sadly not everyone is groaning….bad people don’t because they even lie awake at night thinking of what more evil they can do…Proverbs 4:16
“For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day. They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.”
You don’t have to explain the ‘bad’ creatures by finding the good they do. The creatures God created were good. None of them harmed each other. None of them ate each other. Hugo is wrong in trying to explain it the way he does. There is one reason only why horrible creatures exist and pain and suffering exists in God’s wonderful creation. It happened the day Lucifer landed on earth when he and his battalion of angels began to spoil God’s wonderful creation.
Why do people who say they believe in God forget about the Devil and all his works?
But God created Lucifer, where the bad in Lucifer came from?
How art thou fallen from heauen, O Lucifer, sonne of the morning? how art thou cut downe to the ground, which didst weaken the nations?
For thou hast said in thine heart; I wil ascend into heauen, I wil exalt my throne aboue the starres of God: I wil sit also vpon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the North.
I wil ascend aboue the heights of the cloudes, I wil bee like the most High.
– Isaiah 14:12-14
Thou hast beene in Eden the garden of God; euery precious stone was thy couering, the Sardius, Topaze, and the Diamond, the Beril, the Onyx, and the Iasper, the Saphir, the Emeraude, and the Carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee, in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the annointed Cherub that couereth: and I haue set thee so; thou wast vpon the holy mountaine of God; thou hast walked vp and downe in the middest of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy wayes from the day that thou wast created, till iniquitie was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they haue filled the middest of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as prophane out of the mountaine of God: and I wil destroy thee, O couering Cherub, from the middest of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted vp because of thy beautie, thou hast corrupted thy wisedome by reason of thy brightnesse.
– Ezekiel 28:13-17
Actually he created angels, all of whom were perfect but had free will, if he didn’t give them free will the same as we have, he may as well have made robots.
The angel in Eden CHOSE to rebel against Gods right to rule, his sovereignty and to lie to the woman God had made.
That is when he became Satan the devil…which means slanderer and resister.
He told the first lie when he spoke these words to Eve…Gen 3:4…
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
4 And the Serpent said to the Woman, “You shall not really die…
That is why Jesus called him “the father of the lie” John 8:44.
So who created the Devil?
It was God,
why? because God created everything.
So God created the Devil. If God created the Devil and the Devil causes the act of sin, then God created a system that creates Sin.
God has created everything that ever has been, is, or will be (John 1:3). This includes physical beings and matter as well as spiritual beings (Colossians 1:15–17). The only person who has the power of being in and of Himself—meaning He has no beginning or ending—and is self-existent is God (Exodus 3:14). All other beings were therefore created by God and belong to God (Psalm 24:1).
Wow Hugo I’m very concerned about some things you are saying.
You are accusing God of creating the devil and sin, do I have that right?
If so then you are very wrong, how long have you been reading scripture? Reading is not enough we need to be researching it, we are told to “dig for truth like buried treasure” you are also listening to the ideas of others who believe the trinity lie, the immortal soul and other unbiblical things.
Almighty God (YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah) is holy and pure goodness he cannot even look upon sin and badness….Habakkuk 1:13…
Christian Standard Bible
“Your eyes are too pure to look on evil, and you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do you tolerate those who are treacherous? Why are you silent while one who is wicked swallows up one who is more righteous than himself?”
Why on earth would you blame God for the devil and his evil?
The rebellious Edenic cherub made himself Satan and devil (slanderer and resister) he had free will like us and he chose to stand against his creator and challenge his Gods sovereignty.
Even Jesus said Satan is the “father of the lie” and that the “whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one” 1 John 5:19…so at present the whole earth is under satanic rule, not Gods.
However we all have free will and can choose whom we will obey, if we hope to have a future on the paradise earth to come then we had better choose wisely 🙏🏻
@Susan Adams, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.” ( Isaiah 5:20)
To Susan Adams>
God gave freedom to everyone (otherwise he would be a tyrant), a door, a way out, if you don’t go with Good, go to the meadow of sin.
Hugo has been given so much truth so quickly by our Lord – a sign of the times in which we live. All glory to our Saviour. When we talk of suffering look at God made man – He suffered more than anyone – – he was perfect and was so badly disfigured his organs were on display and he died for the very people who beat and nailed him to the cross. God allowed his only son to suffer horrendously – his sacrifice means, if we believe, the penalty of death has been paid for the wages of sin is death and we all sin. Crucially his resurrection is our blessed hope and means we can if accounted worthy join the blessed first resurrection at the end of this age. Peter said concerning the end of age that a day is a thousand years and the last day will be the millennial thousand years. We have had almost six days/six thousand years and the signs of Matthew 24 are there for all to witness today. If we love our Messiah we will keep his commands and be a good witness of his plan found throughout the old testament – the appointed times. He will come at the last trumpet to collect his bride/ feast of trumpets very soon. Come Lord Jesus come.Repent and believe… The Holy Spirit will guide and strengthen you = the comforter. Our blessed hope is eternal life and the rest of the world worries only about the flesh and this short time on earth which is just a test to determine whether we can choose to love as Jesus did whilst undergoing the crushing from which the oil comes that allows us to take part at the wedding feast after atonement – the wedding feast that the foolish virgins were locked out of for lack of oil. His appointed times are in Leviticus 23 – the plan of redemption – Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts and the autumn ones starting with Trumpets will all be fulfilled very soon. Lastly – keep his sabbath which man changed from saturday to sunday – though the Lord never changed it – he does not change – he sanctified it at creation – long before it became a so called ‘Jewish’ thing. Repent – the enemy is in the mirror and I say that to myself every day lest I blame and war against flesh and blood – don’t judge anyone – Jesus sits on the throne and not us… one day we may join him.
Please can I just correct you and Hugo (newly into scripture) and anyone else who believes the trinity lie that Almighty God came down to earth to be born as a man!!!!
It was Gods SON that was born a man and gave his life for mankind.
Imagine any of you giving up your firstborn to die for the world….just what excruciating grief would you experience having to do that???
Yet by believing Satans lie of the trinity, those who believe it are not only making a mockery of God and his beloved son, worse still they depreciate/devalue the cost and great loss to our Father of his beloved firstborn son.
Anyone believing this satanic lie should be ashamed of themselves.
God is One in Trinity.
Iv always seen it as this…
There is a good place full of joy and love and then a bad place full of hate and despair.
In between, is our life. Our world. Where we experience the joys of birth and the sadness of death. Where we have choice to do good or to follow sin and desire.
We have both traits of the two realms. It’s how we deal with the negativity that gives us access to the good place. If we lived in a world with no bad things and no bad feelings we would never be tested and earn our right.
Some people are parasitic wasps, like the people he worked for…
It’s a Masonic Control System, The Scottish Rite and Swiss Octogon being the top of that tree, one War (BlackRock/MIC), one Financial (Vanguard/BIS) and both everything in-between…
the apocrypha is not scripture by the way, just sayin..
um why was it slipped in there?
was darwin a catholic?

He is the only way to

Insects don’t have many neurons in their nervous systems. They seem to be more like sophisticated robots. They simply react to stimuli in predetermined ways. It seems unlikely that they experience suffering the way humans do, if they experience it at all.
It’s strange that Darwin should grieve over the suffering of caterpillars when his theory (actually he stole it from Alfred Wallace) has lead to untold suffering among humans since it was propounded.
I thought Darwin thought of himself as agnostic not atheist 🤷♀️Anyway I was brought up with a belief in god but was happy to believe I was brainwashed but when I searched for my own answers and delved into evolution I learned that our planet has over 8 million complex life forms ! They can’t even see another planet abundant with life like ours, it truly is miraculous and reading the bible I have come to know about our purpose on earth and I trust in the future we will be rescued from all the evil and corruption caused by wicked spirits here on earth misleadingly mankind.
So you Don’t believe in dinosaurs but you do believe in Jesus ??? One you can physically see proof of and one was just written about 100 years after the even when Supernatural events occurred (Stuff that’s written in today’s comics)
And why don’t you believe? Because to do so would disprove Jesus existence… come on.. really ?? One is real and you can touch and one is a story !!
Personally I believe in a creator and dinosaurs considering the Bible mentions the large land animals and the fossil record backs this up because a huge variety of bones etc have been discovered over centuries.
Dave doesn’t agree!!
So many biologists, biologists and biologists, and none of them are on the BBC. Why?
Job 38:
“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,”
2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
All you ignorant heathen read the rest of these chapters in Job and stop spouting dung
Malachi 2:3
“Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, ….
1 Corinthians 3:19
“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.”
I Googled “parasitic moths” which gave more positive assessments of the insect. It said the invasive beetle called the Emerald Ash tree Borer, originally from Asia, has destroyed millions of ash trees in the USA. Scientists plan to control the destruction caused by this beetle with tiny parasitic wasps from China and Russia.
I never believed in the “big bang” theory or evolution even though I was an atheist most of my life (until a couple years ago). So how can a self-professed atheist shun evolution? Easy. Evolution never made sense to me. I honestly believed there MUST be a third option that wasn’t the Genesis story or evolution.
So then how did this atheist finally KNOW that there is a God?
Well about 6-7 years ago I came across a video that showed a homemade rocket that went way up in the clouds and there it was!!! The sun at the rocket’s eye level with a sun spot beneath it. There could only be ONE explanation for that. The sun is small and right over the earth. It could not be millions of miles away or there wouldn’t be a sun spot underneath it. It still took me 3 days of intensive research to come to KNOW that I had been lied to my whole life. The earth truly is flat and the sun and moon (equal sized) rotate overhead in a circle around us. I also came to KNOW that the earth is indeed enclosed within a “firmament” (dome). Once I gained this understanding I KNEW there was a creator God.
But I had so many issues with the Bible, especially the OT where God seemed like a murderous, jealous, prejudicial God. So that one took me a couple more YEARS to finally come to the truth of the matter that the God of the Bible is the true creator and the Bible is the truth. It has been a long arduous road but it has been well worth it.
This is OBVIOUSLY why they have hidden the flat, domed earth behind their ridiculous ball, flying through limitless space nonsense. It clearly hides God!
Isaiah 40:22….referring to Almighty God…
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
“And him who sits on the sphere of The Earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretched out the Heavens like a vaulted bowl, and stretched them out as a tent for a dwelling”
NWT with references…
22 “There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth,+ the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell”
This Hebrew word has also been rendered globe.
The Hebrew word in question is khûg (חוּג) which is also found in Job 22:14 where, in many Bible versions, it is translated ‘vault’. For example, the New American Standard Bible reads, “Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see; and He walks on the vault of heaven.” Clearly ‘vault’ carries the sense of something three-dimensional and is given as the primary meaning of khûg in the well-known Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon.1 In modern Hebrew, a sphere is denoted by khûg, along with kaddur, galgal, and mazzal.2 In Arabic (another Semitic language), kura means ball and is the word used in the Van Dyck-Boustani Arabic Bible (1865) to translate khûg in Isaiah 40:22.
If a group of people form a circle they are not flat or 1 dimensional, although viewed from above they would look flat just as the earth does. It is all about perspective.
I am not sure of your point but maybe I am just misunderstanding your post.
Isaiah 40:22 KJV reads
“22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:”
What is a circle? A pizza is a circle. What is a sphere? A beach ball is a sphere. Is the earth a circle (a pizza) like Isaiah says or is it a sphere (beach ball)?
The correct answer comes from God’s word. In incorrect answer comes from Satan!
If that wasp didn’t exist, caterpillars would come out of your ears!
Isaiah 7:18,19
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers
“And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.”
God is in charge…what a mighty God we serve
Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
If you ask most people how to get to heaven, their response will be something like this:
“If you do more good things than bad things, God will probably let you into heaven.”
This false idea has caused multitudes to go to hell. There is nothing that you can do on your own that will erase the sins that you have committed.
That is the reason Jesus willingly shed his sinless blood on the cross to pay for your sins. He came to save you from the guilt of past sins and the power of sin over your life. You are about to read the most important information that you will ever read. It is called the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The word “gospel” means “message.” The gospel is God’s message to mankind. If you will yield to the gospel, you will be reconciled to God and you will escape eternal damnation in hell and the lake of fire. You will have abundant life right now as you walk with God in spite of all the pain and suffering that is in the world. If you are doubtful that the Bible is true, ask God for the faith to believe it and for help to understand the gospel.
Many people refer to the gospel as “good news” but it is only good news for those who receive it. To those who reject the good news, the gospel is the stench of death. . . eternal death. Revelation 14:6-7 tells us the message of the everlasting gospel–
“Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
There is only one way to do this–through the blood of Jesus Christ. Repent ye and believe the gospel!
The Bible says that no one has is good enough morally to qualify to enter heaven. Each one of us has broken God’s commandments. You have personally lied and committed other sins.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
Let God be true, but every man a liar…( Romans 3:4)
The number of good deeds you have done, including giving large amounts of money to church or charities, will not make you acceptable in the sight of God. The Bible says that you are spiritually dead in your tresspasses and sins. Your good deeds do not commend you to God in any way. You have ignored God by living our life in the way that you have seen fit.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
According to the above verse, we still come up short even when we try to do good deeds because we are not doing them under God’s authority. Doing good deeds in your own strength and under your own authority is an unclean thing in the sight of God.
“But I never killed anybody and I’m not a dope addict!” In God’s sight you are still spiritually undone and wicked in his sight. You have broken the greatest commandment in the Bible and you are as guilty as a harlot, a whoremonger, a murderer, a thief and a liar. What is the greatest commandment?
“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind. THIS is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:36-38
It is easy to see that you have broken this commandment every day of your life. Loving yourself and putting yourself first comes naturally. Those who are not yet reconciled to God do this as a matter of course.
If good deeds could pay for your sins then Jesus died for nothing:
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Galatians 2:21)
God is holy. We are sinful. By His very nature, God cannot have fellowship with us sinners. There is no amount of “good” that we can do to make up for our crimes against God. They must be punished. And the wages of sin is DEATH- physical death (the casket) and spiritual death (when the soul is separated from God and cast into hell).
The wages of sin is death…(Romans 6:23)
God does not want to remain your enemy and He does not want you to go to Hell.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die… (Ezekiel 33:11)
The Lord is…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9)
In spite of your wickedness and rebellion, God loved you enough to send His only begotten Son to die for your sins:
“… thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matt 1:21).
Jesus did not die so that you could keep sinning and go to heaven. He came to save you from the guilt and the power of sin. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil on Calvary (I John 3:8). Before you surrender in faith to Jesus Christ, sin dominates you. Sin is your master and you are its servant.
You are under the wrath of a holy and just God. Murderers, thieves, fornicators, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, rebels, and all other spiritual lepers will not inherit the kingdom of God. The blood of Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. That means if we will turn in faith to Jesus Christ his blood will take way the guilt of the sins we’ve committed and it will usher us into a Father-child relationship with God. Through the blood of Jesus, we are to serve sin no more.
Again, the Father sent His only begotten Son, Jesus who is God, to die in your place. Remember that the wages of sin is death–that is why He died, to pay YOUR wages. The Lord Jesus Christ died in your place in order to pay for your sins and mine.
The world’s greatest love story is summed up in the following verse–
For God so loved the world, that he gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16
Jesus said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) How can you show more love than giving your very life for someone else’s life? You can’t. What is more amazing is that Jesus died for us WHILE WE WERE HIS ENEMIES! I mean vile, wicked, pitiful, wretched, unclean, unholy, ungodly, prideful, spiritually filthy.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
…Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6)
God demonstrated his love for you on the cross 2,000 years ago! God is not hateful; He is loving. He gave His Son for you even though you are dead in your sins.
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth to:
(1) save you from the GUILT and POWER of your sins and
(2) RECONCILE you unto God. Through faith in the blood of Jesus you will escape the wrath to come and joyfully look forward to heaven–and you’ll live an overcoming life. God will be your Father instead of your enemy–but only through the blood of Jesus.
..the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I John 1:7)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
After His death, the Lord’s body laid in the grave three days, but praise be to God, it did not remain there. On the third day Jesus arose from the dead and was seen by over 500 people (I Corin 15:6) before He went back to heaven.
Please remember that Jesus was not some victim or just a baby in a manger. He was and is the eternal God and Savior who came to earth and gave His own blood for your sins. After He accomplished this tremendous feat, He rose from the dead like He said He would:
“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again…” (John 10:17-18)
…Christ died for our sins…and he was buried, and…he rose again the third day… (I Corinthians 15:3-4)
Are you ready to repent of your sins? To repent means to forsake your evil ways and listen to God. All your life you’ve been your own authority concerning what is right and what is wrong. You’ve made your own decisions while ignoring what the Lord says in His holy word, the Bible. You’ve served yourself and not God. To repent means that you turn to God as your authority. It means you can say, “Lord everything you say in the Bible is right. If my feelings contradict the Bible I am wrong. Lord I want to live under your authority, not my own.”
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to REPENT. (Acts 17:30)
…TURN TO GOD, AND DO WORKS MEET FOR REPENTANCE. (Acts 26:20)
Repentance must be from the heart. Are you prepared to exercise your will to live for the Lord? Jesus said:
“And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:27)
You must be willing to give up your own authority over your life and surrender it to Jesus Christ. If you want to come to Jesus Christ to be saved you must be willing to live God’s way. He will give you the strength to live for him but you have got to be willing for him to tell you what to do. You must turn from living in the way that leads to death. Do you want God to be your Father rather than your enemy? Do you want the Lord and His holy ways? Do you want to be delivered from the powers of darkness you have invited into your life by sinful living? If you do, you are ready to come to Jesus Christ and be saved.
Jesus waits with open arms for those that want life. The choice is yours. If you’re sick of being alienated from God, if you’re tired of what this wicked and perverse world has to offer, if you want Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, if you want to be reconciled unto your Creator, if you want to go to heaven, if you want to escape hell — put your faith in the one who can do something about it! Do you believe that Jesus Christ died for you? Do you believe that He rose from the dead? Do you repent of your sins? Do you want to follow Jesus?
If so, repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. The only one who can save you is the Lord Jesus Christ. You must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved:
When he asked, “Sirs, what MUST I do to be SAVED?” (Acts 16:30)Paul and Silas said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:31)
If you will place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved from your sins and be born into the family of God:
By grace are you saved, through faith, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8
If you have placed your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ you will begin your new life of freedom and obedience to the Lord. Now you need to (1) start reading the Bible (Authorized King James Version of 1611–begin with the gospels) and (2) you need to get yourself into a Bible-believing church that uses the King James Bible so you can get baptized and discipled in the way of Christ.
(Important: We are in the last days–the time of the falling away from the faith of Jesus. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:3) There are few churches that are biblically sound to associate with because so many deviate from the scriptures and promote false doctrines. Read your New Testament several times and begin working through the Old Testament before you consider putting yourself under the influence of institutions that call themselves churches.)
Warning
Once you get saved, Satan will work to try to cause you to encounter false doctrine. Because you are a new born babe in the faith, you will be prone to believe anything people tell you about the Bible. (That is why you need to read it for yourself everyday).
Please heed these warnings:
1. You do not need to “speak in tongues” to show that you are saved or that you have the Holy Spirit. These people take one or two passages out of context and make false doctrine out of them.
2. Water baptism is an important act of obedience but it does not save you. If you are saved, you will get baptized out of obedience. [Make sure a godly person baptizes you. You are better off being baptized by a family member or friend in a swimming pool than by an unproven pastor that you do not know for certain is godly.] Saved people are children of obedience (Heb 5:9). The gospel and baptism are separate–I Cor 1:17. You are baptized in order to outwardly identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and to symbolically show the washing away of sins. So if you are trusting in your baptism to save you, you are wrong. An unrepentant sinner will go down a dry sinner and come out a wet sinner.
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
3. Avoid the false Hebrew Roots teachers who try to tell you that you are in disobedience if you don’t keep the sabbath days, feasts, holy days, etc. Colossians 2:16 is clear:
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.
If you have not surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ, I hope that you won’t continue to reject His offer of eternal life. You are in a dangerous position. John 3:36 says,
“. . . he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
You will not make it into heaven on your own “good merits” or by your own conception of who you are and of what you think God should be like. He always has His way–the choice is yours to obey Jesus Christ or reject Jesus Christ
do not despise the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Hello Hugo, can I ask: did you delete my second comment or did it just disappear mysteriously? I’m not here to annoy you or troll you, if my comments are unwelcome, I’d love to know and I’ll stop writing them.
This was such a wonderful video, Hugo, and really hammers home the message that we ought to focus on the beauty of Creation and the harmony of life by which we are surrounded, showing gratitude to God for all He has done, rather than dwelling in the trap of fear set by those who wish to abuse and control us.
This was the perfect way to start my day. Thank you.
Also, have you ever considered becoming a pastor?
Darwin was a 33rd degree freemason. A Satanic Cult anyway.
Why is it, that all the world ‘influencers’ that are respected now days , are ALL Anti Christ, in their teachings? Because this is Satan’s time, and he’s doing everything he can to lure souls AWAY from the truth. The suffering in the world is because of Satan. HE tempted Eve and Adam to disobey God, and so soiled the perfection that was Eden. Don’t blame God for the sht. Without God’s influence and staying hand upon the world, it would literally be a living HELL on earth.
i was missing you on odysee.. why are your videos no longer syncing?
Hugo, what is the explanation for the abuse of innocent children? I have always wondered this. It has always been my reason for questioning the existence of God.
Sadly the mentioning of God triggers the programming, as does FE.
