Dear all,
I am sharing a video where I have talked about the experiences and insights that I gained in Christian path. Have discussed some Bible verses and their interpretations too:
 
Hello Shanmugam, welcome to christianforums.net! :wave2 I haven't watched your video yet but I'm just curious, why are you sharing a religious video when it says that you're not religious? :confused
 
Hi Shanmugam and welcome to CF :wave2

I really enjoyed your video as this came from your heart as God has revealed many truths to you through His word.

I am going to move this thread over to the Bible Study forum so others will see it and we can discuss your video better there.
 
I do agree with most of what you said, but have a couple of things I like to discuss with what you said.

1. You said in the video that God is not a jealous God, but when we read Exodus 20:1-6 for example, God is a jealous God as He wants nothing else to come before Him as we are to bow down and worship and serve only Him as He shows us mercy and grace.

2. You said Jesus came to restore the law and others say Jesus came to destroy the law. This is not what He said in Matthew 5:17, 18. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

The law being God's commands are just as alive today as when He gave them to Moses.

3.
You speak about heaven and hell only being metaphoric. What many do not understand is that there are three heavens and that hell means the grave we are laid in after we die.

First heaven - The firmament, Earths Atmosphere -which is the immediate sky, where the “fowls of the heaven” (Genesis 2:19; 7:3,23; Psalms 8:8, etc.), “the eagles of heaven” (Lamentations 4:19), it is our atmosphere that surrounds the earth.

Second Heaven - Outer Space, the starry heavens (Deuteronomy 17:3; Jeremiah 8:2; Matthew 24:29).
The second heaven is the starry heavens, where our atmosphere ends. It is the heavens in which the sun, moon, and stars are fixed in orbit.

Third Heaven - This is where God, Jesus and the holy angels dwell plus the very breath of just men dwell as when we die it is that breath that returns back to God. It is called “The heaven of heavens,” (Deuteronomy 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalms 115:16; 148:4). (1Kings 8:27) - “The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. The third heaven is beyond the space and stars. Where no man has seen by telescope. This heaven is the dwelling-place of God (John 3:13).

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance: Hell
Hebrew # 7585 Sheol, Hades, or the world of the dead, grave, hell, pit
Greek # 86 place of departed souls, grave, hell.

It is not hell that is the lake of fire, but only the grave. 2 Peter 3:9-18 God said that He would that none should perish, but those who will parish and be cast into the lake of fire are those who reject God and His Son Jesus Christ that are dead in the grave and those who are alive at Christ coming., Revelation 20:11-15

John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
