I think it is informative I as a christian have a responsibility and a need to tell everyone I can about Jesus, I can't live with the fact that so many will be lost and If I can do anything to make that number smaller then I will. I find the you tube to be a warning and we should take it as such, We are talking eternity here

and I have 2 letters - B S
and oddly enough in the Tibetian Book of the Dead , when you reach the point where your life is to be accounted for aka the book of life .............. it's called a test. to have no fear. you will pass if you have no fear.
but the fact is it's all opinion.

Wow that was pretty........ awful on so many levels. It's not like I don't understand people who feel they should spread a spiritual message but I've never understood the find you faith through guilt ploy/message or understood those who found their faith this way. (But that's just me).
Then there is the whole unbelievable aspect of it, first didn't think they let you write, second the postage must have been ridiculously high and the fact that he kept writing as he was being drug away???? It had me cracking up actually. (but again that's just me).
But I suppose you could always counter with Alice Cooper's "Wish you were here". This is from a 1976 tv broadcast so it's CLEAN. not that Alice has/had a potty mouth to begin with.

To be honest I watched a part of it and shut it off....I did find it disturbing, both the writing and the narration....and I do believe it was b.s......Maybe I missed something, but how did Zach come into possession of this so called letter....

People believing a loving god would let hell exist is bad enough, but this presentation is awful.
And then someone posting it on New Year's Day claiming it will touch your heart. With what ? Fear & guilt is what.

be careful this could get classed as a attack on the person.
I think if the said person offends then reporting it may be the best result instead.
I don't want to see you get in trouble, I like you too much lol.
Youtube is not the greatest source for evidence of something and luckily people with common sense will not take the video seriously.
Those who do take it serious....well I pity you.

A video with a 'What if' instead of 'it's a fact', that is suppose to touch your heart? So, this video is suppose to open it up for those who feel they have 'a responsiblity' to tell everyone about Jesus, and to others is to listen? For one, this is still a 'what if', and it still boils down to being told about something that is a matter of opinion. Two, I think that a video, a responsiblity, to tell everyone something, I find very inconsiderate. It's taking other people's time for listening to something that probably do not want to listen to. It's insulting to think that they do not know what is best for them. Leave it up to them, stick to your own life. This video is uncalled for, even mostly so on New Year's day!!!

Oh there are many levels of what we call hell, it is a state which one puts himself, God only gives you a safe place to do it in. but he does not put you there. you do.
