CPeaceInHim - Is it possible that your voice, my voice, and other's which willyrogers encounters ARE a part of the grand scheme? Personal enlightenment, open mindedness, curiosity, GENUINE respect for others rather than some symbolic profession of "love"?
When I've watched your videos, I can see the inner struggle, the pain that you pushed down and are trying to hide... You say that you are not sure if you want to open that up to people. ...but "people" can not address your pain.. Jesus Christ ALREADY knows every detail of your past.. where you've been hurt, how that made you feel, and the scars that it left. HE is standing by, waiting for you to open it up to Him... He's waiting with open arms to heal those areas that are hurting so deeply. You are VERY bright, well spoken, but I can see so clearly the pain that is there, and that you truely ARE searching. ....just like the rest of us have searched, and the reason so many of us cannot keep quiet is because we've been in your situation, and we've allowed Jesus to take the baggage from our shoulders and set us free, and I want that for you too... But it's up to you to ask Jesus to SHOW you... as only HE can.. If you are so sure that HE doesn't exsist, then what can it hurt to ask Him to "show you?" ...the only consequence, is to be free... When we're free, and unconditionally loved, we no longer seek attention, as you mentioned in one of your first videos. :) May God show you the truth..... May you open your heart to hear His voice, not ours, not a wise old man's, but God's voice... You only need to ask... In His Love-
Hey
I saw your video, and, yeah, I feel compelled to witness. It's in my blood, I can't help not to. But, I want to ask you some questions. You said something about being on Godtube to be in a Christian enviroment and to sort of give Christians a taste of what non-believers non-belive/believe. I can tell that you don't want a debate. You want simpley to express your opinion. I respect that entirely. In fact, it interests me. If you would, please answer my questions. You seem comfortable with the idea of God, so why aren't you living for Him? What keeps you from accepting His free gift of eternal life? All you have to do is sincerely ask. You won't regret it. Jesus passionately loves you more than you could ever imagine. He gave His life for you whether you choose to accept Him or not. He died for everyone. God knew then who would come to Him and who wouldn't. That includes you. If it had just been you and only you, he still would've taken those 39 stripes. If there had been 1/100 of a chance that you would choose to come to Him, He still would've been betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (apx $52) by a friend. At any moment, Jesus had the power to come off of the cross, to call it all off, but He didn't. He stayed for you. He was thinking of you.
Jesus loves you and so do I

Since the godtube mesaging system still doesn't work very well, you can feel free to email me: willyrogers@gmail.com. I doubt that I'll be posting any videos for a while, but I believe in continuing dialogue.

Hello Will. I saw one of your old post and thought this may interest you. I am a catholic living in texas yet disagree with many modern day Christians especially regarding views on science (Evolution and physics mostly) and public in your face preaching. This video series is rather lengthy but really has some great content. It was made in the 1980s and is called the Miracle of Damascus. The entire series is on youtube (Godtube soon I hope). The footage was shot over a number of years showing actual miracles from God ( Not faked ). It is a little slow at first but shows real events very clearly over several hours. I am very skeptical regarding what many people claim as God's will or miracles, yet I feel that this one is very honorable. It is divided into thirty or so parts that are about 10 min each. Good luck. http://youtube.com/watch?v=uOx_xBSn1Rk
P.S. Here is my video on supporting evolution if you find time.

I really appreciate God Tube in opening this forum for this type of discussion. I can relate to Will even though his non-confrontational manner of speaking can be kind of confusing to some people his method of debate or better said sharing should put us at a position of seeking first to understand then to be understood. We are quick to speak out our trained responses as to think we are doing some good however we fail to consider the real issue. To me the issue is the fanatic run to defend our beliefs without really understanding what we believe. I feel that we need positive postings like this that challenge are beliefs will either re-affirm our faith and strengthen it or help us find the truth as GOD him self wants for us to know.
If the wise old man is God, then I am wrong. Plain and simple. If, however, the wise old man is not right completely about everything, it is impossible for him to be God, regardless of how many people agree to treat him as if he were God. Just as humans cannot be right about everything, God cannot be wrong about anything - even if it is a little thing. Now, if I am the one who is wrong about this, then I need to change my beliefs about the wise old man. If, however, the wise old man is not right about everything... well, this is a much bigger issue, because there are a lot of people who treat the wise old man as if he were God.
The public high school I attended taught abstinence as the only way to completely prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection. Did my school's policy affect the frequency of unwanted pregnancy? I think it did.
Even though I agree with Dana that you can't really apologize for other people, I can't say that I don't appreciate the gesture. Still trying to reply to your recent email, Will
Logan, I love the video, and I love that you used the word chutzpah! Hopefully I'll be able to respond more personally with a video reply, but I want to quickly answer your question about which category of people I'm in - I would say that I'm "lost and know I'm lost," and for the last few years I have been shifting back and forth between the 2 groups that are either looking for answers or not looking for answers; Hopefully I can get a hold of a computer with a camera to reply with a video soon. Keep in touch, Will.
Although I'm not sure why there needs to be an advertisement in the middle of it (seems a little bit negating), this is a really important video.
...maybe what we have is more than enough
About Me
I agree with William Penn: True godliness does no turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it.\r\n ...I hope that my presence here on Godtube will both help me to live in a world of Christians (the world in which I was raised), and also help Christians to live in a world of non-Christians (the world outside of Christianity).
