Out of hand? I have experienced the exact thing this movie is about (no, the movie is not my experience). When Christians objected to things defined as immoral in the media there were public outrage and we were labelled as censors and all kinds of names. Today when it is the non Christians objecting to our beliefs being put down and censored we are called over reactive and put down for reacting exactly the same way but without the name calling.
As a person working in ministry, who was homeschooled too.....its time to stop with the nationalism in the Church... this movie has about as much depth in the trailer as a kiddie pool.

We are blessed that it hasn't happened to that extent yet. America once upon a time sent missionaries to China. Why does the world seek to come here? FREEDOM. Who gives us this freedom? God. If America's freedom as outlined in it's founding documents errodes, than freedom for the world has been lost. Once there is no longer freedom of self determination here in America, there will be no one to champion for freedom around the world. One day it will end. The church will be raptured out and the antichrist will rule the globe. What we are seeing are the braxton hicks contractions before the end of the church age.
@@lisabrown3329 okay let’s go over this. America is a country made by people and because it’s not Israel (even though post resurrection all nations can have access to God), it’s not in any sense connected to God. Second, God DOESN’T depend on AMERICA! God literally called all nations and as far as I can see the godlessness in our culture is enough for me to say that American church and culture is starved of God. But okay let’s talk about the “documents” when they say religion will have no part or place in government. Or when biblical principles don’t teach racism, Jim Crow, and slavery yet no one was calling America a godless country. The idolatry of nationalism is toxic.

Such a bad message. Forgiveness is good, but it doesn’t mean letting others just get away burning down your church, killing someone, and then bulldozing what’s left of your church to punish you for their hatred of you. There’s a big difference between forgiving others and letting others abuse you.
That's the American way though...'I'm so persecuted...' 'But you make $90 million playing basketball...' 'I'm so persecuted...' 'But there are actual slaves and concentration camps in China'. 'I'm so persecuted...' 'But they actually execute gays in the Middle East'. A certain portion of the population taught the rules of 'persecution' and how tiny a thing it can be and still get you lauded for it, so now everyone wants in on it.

@@willjapheth23789I was mocking the trailer for claiming that public schools are teaching against God. I've been a teacher for 4 years now and have never seen this in my own school, in the news, or any claim made by parents from other districts. Seems like a big claim to make without backing it up with real world examples or evidence, especially since schools teach neither for or against any God of any religion.
@@yosh_wah oh my bad. I thought you were suggesting kids need homeschooling so they could ask tough questions like 'is evolution an atheist conspiracy to disprove the Noah's ark story'. I Misread.
I think you’re missing the point of the trailer, respectfully. This isn’t a scenario that IS happening, this is what COULD happen as a result of increasing polarization. There are teachers out there that want to indoctrinate people into their view. In public school, it is less common, but in college/ university level, it is common. It’s a challenge to your views, and it’s something college students actually love, because we get to stand for what we believe in. Doesn’t matter what your faith is, this kind of stuff does happen. In terms of the government, the government is always dangerously close to getting involved in religion- one has to look no further than the Philadelphia vs the catholic adoption service decision last month! So sure, laugh at these movies. They are a little cheesy, but their premises bring up some difficult questions our generation will eventually have to address, and that scares me.
@@MasonStrand sorry, but your argument is BS. First, the Philadelphia vs catholic adoption service is about a religious organization denying gay couples adoptions because of stupid beliefs. I get it religious freedom and all that crapshoot, but in the case of adoption of children the government should be involved. Religious organizations cannot be trusted to watch themselves...the Catholic Church alone has enough child abuse scandals that would fill the Grand Canyon. However, the main point is that ruling has nothing to do with homeschooling unless your point is the government shouldn't be involved at all. If that's the case, then who should be involved to make sure abuses are being addressed? Because relying on the church to police themselves is so incompetently shortsighted that anyone that believes that is the way to go would also fall into that category. Second, these movies are more than just "cheesy", they are a poor example of Christians and how they are "vilified" by non-Christians. I'm in Indiana, one of the more very Christian states of the US, and I can tell you the things said about non-Christians (this includes Atheists to people of other religions) are very shameful/hurtful. Of course, not all Christians are like that, but what I don't hear is Atheists or other non-Christians targeting Christians and rarely if ever mentioned in a demeaning manner. Unless its speak about the absurdly extreme ways a select few Christians have presented themselves (i.e. calling all gays demons or my favorite believing they should all die).
These movies make me feel better about my own mental health. Like, I may have debilitating depression and crippling anxiety, but at least I'm not as completely batshit insane delusional as these people
I pray that Jesus Christ will open your hearts to the truth, that you are worthy to be in His precense and He will forgive you because , He loves you very much.

You may laugh today and the rest of your life. But God will laugh at you last so better double down on your belief and pray that he isnt there.

"See this?" The dude holds up a 1 dollar bill, "CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!!!!" and then everyone claps. The president orders creationism to be taught in schools, science is replaced by church, all the non-christens are driven out. The end.
This film is pretty explicitly Christian. Prince of Egypt and King of Dreams are Jewish. Christians and Muslims just copied and pasted a lot of the lore in an attempt to replace the previous faiths.
A bigger issue is at hand here: In a true free nation, Compulsory education should not exist. Parents should have the final say as to how their children should be educated. That would be no different if the Government forced parents not to send their children to a Religious private school or have them homeschooled according to their religious worldview. That is a First amendment right that the Government has no right to prohibiting religion or the exercise thereof. Separation of Church and State was not written by Thomas Jefferson just to prevent a White Christian Theocracy (if you are rightfully concerned about that). Rather, Separation of Church and State prevents a Government with a more Anti-Theistic worldview from imposing others from practicing their own religion freely.
@@angeliquaserenity5009 Newsflash genius, education is considered imperative to a functional society. If your populace isn’t educated, then there’s a lot you can’t do. It’s one of those things any government has to be involved. Also governments had attempted to do just that. State governments to be exact. And what makes it better is that it was Christians (Protestants) doing it to other Christians (Catholics) because they hated Catholics. Oregon passed a law in 1922 called the Oregon Compulsory Education Act requiring students to attend public schools because they didn’t like Catholic schools. And it was struck down by the Supreme Court. If they would do that to their fellow Christians, I’d be more concerned with them doing it to others since atheists have not only never had that kind of power, but don’t have a history of doing that in this country.
We are so wrapped up in isolation, pride and comfort that any pushback against our beliefs is immediately conflated with persecution. Even these fantasies of persecution pale in comparison to cruelty we have inflicted and continue to inflict upon those deemed sinner and lost. This mindset spits in the face of God and His martyrs, who actually endured persecution at the hand of those who hated the change they preached.

So they are still taught the same curriculum and are still forced to attend Zoom meetings in virtual classrooms at home. Nice logic argument, but easily destroyed by reality.

@Vik Voltaire Understanding that this particular movie in the series is nothing but political propaganda that is American nationalism disguised as a warped view of Christianity isn’t hating Christianity. It’s calling out “Christians” who don’t understand being followers of Christ but only what their skewed perception of that is based on exactly what’s portrayed in this movie-the incorrect assumption that Americans have a hold on “correct Christianity.” Also, I for one enjoyed the first two movies because they definitely had Christian themes. This is a movie about the cultish view too many American Christians have of nationalism and equating it with Christianity.
@Vik Voltaire good grief. You realize that Americans think they have a monopoly on Christianity yet it is a WORLD religion? I’m actually Catholic so, yeah, 100% Christian here, and I certainly don’t attempt to put ANY country before God which is EXACTLY what the theme of this movie seems to be. You’re not getting that the premise of this particular movie in the series is nothing but propaganda for the American version of evangelical Christianity. Did you even WATCH the trailer?
@Vik Voltaire also-you know you don’t HAVE to swear on the Bible nor does any elected official HAVE to swear on the Bible right? 😂 You could swear on a copy of Moby Dick and the oath stands. Also, “In God We Trust” wasn’t adopted until 1956-after “under God” was added to the pledge in 1954. This was all done during the McCarthy era. Learn to not argue with someone with a history degree with a particular specialty in certain eras of American History who is also a Christian.
@Vik Voltaire oh, and it’s even BETTER to not argue with someone who happens to be married to a lawyer and judge who just confirmed that they don’t even use a Bible or ANY book to swear as a witness in court. We live in the Bible Belt and he just confirmed he has NEVER seen a Bible used in court since he’s been practicing-20 years. Bye now. Good try.
Jesus died on a hill to prove that all people are worthy of love. This character is willing to die on a hill to prove that ignoring education standards is a religious belief worthy of accepting.
@deagleninja You are right, there are things that could be changed in the school system. Singapore, Japan, and many other countries are beating the USA in education. Something must change dramatically to bring our scores up. 1) I think God wants us to steward the world to the best of our ability. 2) White people were the ones that owned slaves. There is a place as a white person for examining our biases and listening to black and indigenous peoples voices. Many still feel oppressed by white people. 3) There are other holidays in December. I don’t presume everyone celebrates Christmas. There is space for all of us.

The founders explicitly established the US as a secular nation with a separation of church and state. If you want a theocracy where religious minorities just have to deal with it, there are plenty of countries to choose from. It's easy to want "majority rules" when you're in the majority. But ironically, there are more Catholics in the world; so if you're evangelical or Protestant, I wonder if you'd be okay with Catholicism being in charge (or another kind of Christian if you're Catholic).

@@e.damazing6634 This, and the other "God's Not Dead" movies, are pure propaganda. The directors themselves admitted that the purpose of this franchise wasn't to create good films, but to create sermons in movie form. These films exaggerate the secular nature of our government and other institutions such as academia to the point of absurdity, painting these institutions as a form of religion-a religion whose sole purpose is to destroy Christianity. In doing so, they create scenarios that would never realistically happen in our current system, painting atheists and even other religious groups, such as Muslims, as the enemy. I can't speak for Muslims because I've never been one but as an atheist I can say, we're not out to destroy Christianity. We just want Christians to leave us alone. These films feed their persecution complex and convince them that they need to do more of the things that we already don't like them doing, which furthers the divide and in their minds, proves them right even though they clearly aren't.

Many churches want kids in public school to learn that the earth is 6,000 years old. That's not going to happen neither.
It looks like donwplaying the persecution complex in part 3 didn't work, so David A. R. White doubles down on it instead. At least the Cinema Snob episode is going to be fire...
it was pretty obvious that part 3 was a rewrite, this movie seems more like what 3 was supposed to be. Which I was guessing be all about persecution and how it's illegal to speak out against gays and such.. And other things.
No one said we’d be thrown in jail NOW for our faith. It’s the parents going to jail because they won’t let their kids transition, the pastors who have already been sent to jail multiple times this year for hosting church services! It’s by living out your faith and Christian values that collides with the culture, not directly for being Christian. We know wayyyyy more and not to mention, FUND every org that takes care of the PERSECUTED church overseas! We have updated statistics of each and every way the church is put to death, beaten, raped, etc worldwide on a monthly basis! We have suffered with them and lived our lives differently to mourn with and take care of them, and we are not pretending to understand their pain, but we WILL point out the awful spiral in our nation as it takes every step that the countries who are heavily persecuted took to get where they are now. It is because of this deep injustice that we fight for what we have here so that our nation doesn’t end up like there’s!
@@KelseyMcSorley you act like the pastors who were sent to jail for having services this year weren’t causing cases of a deadly virus to rise, they 100% could have held services online which i myself attended through the pandemic and why should a parent be able to tell their child (who is their own person) that they can’t do something to they’re own body if it isn’t hurting them, christians in america act like they are persecuted when they are being held accountable for spewing hate and negatively impacting others we need to self reflect and learn how to spread gods love it is not our place to condemn or judge other people
@@KelseyMcSorley They've been sent to jail because they have broken Covid protocols, not because of their faith. You can praise Jesus at home, and in fact, you should, especially when there is a global pandemic sweeping the world and wiping out hundreds of thousands of people. American Christians are not persecuted and will never be. When parts of our faith can be written into laws that govern the people, we are not oppressed. Sorry.
@@jessicajade6955 but yet Walmart, theme parks, & bars were allowed to be open at the same time that churches were forced to close- they even went after house churches with people having a handful of guests over in their own home. This is why they make these movies, to bring attention to the issue.
@Mr. M I can tell you've never been homeschooled. I was and that shit was isolating to all hell. My education and mental state was definitely damaged until I got myself out of it. It took hell to undo the homeschooled effects and trauma. No one needs to go through that unless you actually have some disability that prevents you from coexisting in society as a whole or at a certain age. Also the mask situation is valid. There's a global pandemic. This has happened before in history. Yes there are more than two genders since gender is both neuro and a social construct but more leaning on neuro. There are however only two sexes. No one argues that.
@Mr. M Highschool dropout and homeschool are completely different things. My wife was homeschooled and in her 30s is still struggling with basic maths and sciences she's been trying to apply to her own work and studies. There are whole internet forums dedicated to prior homeschoolers banding together to share issues they have had, maybe you should get out and explore their stories and get out of your small safe space.
I used to watch these kind of movies with my family and I'd feel like the world was against us true believers. I then learned the world statistically isn't even Christian and felt justified in my fervor to save the world. I prayed for comprehension and love for others but nothing changed. Then I learned how cultures and peoples work and I studied them for years. I hope any who read this know I used to hit my knees and cry out to God believing I was chosen. I now just want christians to stop pretending to be victims, like they don't have the power... You guys have the power, yet you focus on keeping it instead of using it to wash the poor's feet... You don't bath the down trodden in expensive perfumes to lift them up... This movie is an an insult to your God's power and his justice. If he was really all loving he wouldn't need propaganda from Hercules to make his point. You're his body in this world, I hope you take that calling seriously. Love, someone who once called Yahweh father...

@@bonzupippinpaddleoxacoppil484 The Russian space station Mir was actually the predecessor to the International Space Station. It remained in Low Earth Orbit from 1986 to 2001, until it's orbit decayed and it crashed to Earth (no one was on it at this time). Mir was the first continuously inhabited long-term research station in orbit and held the record for the longest continuous human presence in space at 3,644 days, until it was surpassed by the ISS on 23 October 2010. It holds the record for the longest single human spaceflight, with Valeri Polyakov spending 437 days and 18 hours on the station between 1994 and 1995. Mir was occupied for a total of twelve and a half years out of its fifteen-year lifespan, having the capacity to support a resident crew of three, or larger crews for short visits. In September 1993, US Vice President Al Gore, Jr., and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin announced plans for a new space station, which eventually became the ISS. They also agreed, in preparation for this new project, that the United States would be heavily involved in the Mir program as part of an international project known as the Shuttle-Mir Program. The project, sometimes called "Phase One", was intended to allow the United States to learn from Russian experience in long-duration spaceflight and to foster a spirit of cooperation between the two nations and their space agencies, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos). The project prepared the way for further cooperative space ventures, specifically, "Phase Two" of the joint project, the construction of the ISS. The program was announced in 1993; the first mission started in 1994, and the project continued until its scheduled completion in 1998. Eleven Space Shuttle missions, a joint Soyuz flight, and almost 1000 cumulative days in space for US astronauts occurred over the course of seven long-duration expeditions. If you wanted a story about a Christian American Astronaut and a Russian Cosmonaut having deeply involved conversations concerning faith and religion, this would be the setting for it.
As a Catholic Christian in America, I believe that every American citizen has the right to praise and worship in anyway they like. Whether they’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim and regardless of what their political views and differences are. Republican or Democrat.
The Movie has characters of different Faith. Muslim Father. Christian daughter. They have Black, Latino and Asian Characters in all their Movies. It's very diverse. There is nothing wrong with being a CHRISTIAN ✝️
But couldn't you just teach your kids about God at church...or in the car...or by playing Christian music...or during Christmas...or during Easter...or at Bible Study every Wednesday...or before bed during nightly prayer...or during morning prayer...or during Summer...or at a BBQ with your Christian friends...or literally every time you say grace before you eat...or any day of the week after school...or when they ask questions about it...or
As someone who used to go to Bible Studies every Wednesday and to church almost every Sunday I can confirm that there are already plenty of other programs in place other than standard education to teach kids about God and Jesus.
At this point, I suspect God’s Not Dead 5 will be a guy escaping a concentration camp after he says “Bless you” to someone sneezing, and there’ll be comments like “This is EXACTLY what’s going right now”
Freedom isn't fragile because we have freedom in Christ. The Bible teaches us to respect human authority, but it also tells us not to place our trust in men.

Sorry to hear about your abuse. We go to an evangelical church with many homeschool families. Why do you say you were abused? Was it mental, physical? Seriously curious. Thanks.
@@UnableToWin no harm intended. We have a lot of homeschooler kids in our church, so I was curious as to what kind of abuse, becuase to my knowledge this is not a normal occurrence. wow, touchy crowd.
Just judging by the majority of the comments, this is why we need more properly homeschooled kids. We need to teach our children it's not alright to disrespect people and condemn them.
Sir, no one is trying to take your beliefs away in the US. There are countries with real religious persecution, such as China (Muslim Uyghurs, as well as Christians, Buddhists, and also pagan believers), or Iraq during the Iraqi war (Yazidis). The US constitution supports the freedom of belief, so if someone threatens you, you can flag their comment or complain at the court or your boss or someone. But if someone just says that this movie is stupid, or they don’t believe in Christianity because blahblahblah, it doesn’t threaten the constitutional right. Maybe you feel like your religious rights are being taken from you, but there were much worse cases of religious persecution in the history, including numerous genocides, mass murders, laws against religious practices, and so on. This movie is just absurd, because no one should discredit you at court, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, pagan, or from the Moon cult, that would just be unconstitutional. Therefore, courts and judges and the whole justice sphere must be religiously unbiased. Maybe the court rulings sometimes look a little anti-theistic and unfair in the eyes of some Christians/Hindus/Sikhs/whatever, but the law is the law and religion has no place in it. Most commenters were pointing out, how this movie is just taking the word of God in their mouth to play in the cards of US nationalists. The prominent figures in the US history were mostly Christian, and did some great things, but they certainly weren’t saint. Most of them did also terrible things. It also doesn’t mean, that if the founding fathers were Christians, Christianity should be the official religion in the US
Taught and practiced - because a lot of people from different cultures and religions came into the US. And many Native religions were here before that. Christianity is just the most widespread religion, and people back in the 18th/19th century were more religiously conservative than they are now, which caused that most prominent figures in European, and European-origins majority countries were Christian.
"Religion has been removed from our schools." Duh, because they are PUBLIC schools, meaning SECULAR. meaning if you want religion taught in schools, pay for a private one that does. In the meantime why does a Jew need to learn about Jesus or Alah. Also, since when does a social worker show up to parents who are home schooling?
Wow witty and unique observation there. No you don't say and I don't think it was any in the trailer that they are suffering the same as the 1st century church. It's a american movie about current day America and the church in it and religious freedom. Really that attempt just shows that you do not understand context at all
Well let’s see when mandates are put in place that make churches close but allow strip clubs, casinos, liquor stores open up there is a problem. When people who aren’t even Christian such as the orthodox Jewish population as well as catholic groups sued the state of New York because of then governer Cuomo’s ridiculous mandates on religious gatherings.

America is a country made by people and because it’s not Israel (even though post resurrection all nations can have access to God), it’s not in any sense connected to God.

Religious organizations cannot be trusted to watch themselves...the Catholic Church alone has enough child abuse scandals that would fill the Grand Canyon. However, the main point is that ruling has nothing to do with homeschooling unless your point is the government shouldn't be involved at all. If that's the case, then who should be involved to make sure abuses are being addressed? Because relying on the church to police themselves is so incompetently shortsighted that anyone that believes that is the way to go would also fall into that category.
Second, these movies are more than just "cheesy", they are a poor example of Christians and how they are "vilified" by non-Christians. I'm in Indiana, one of the more very Christian states of the US, and I can tell you the things said about non-Christians (this includes Atheists to people of other religions) are very shameful/hurtful. Of course, not all Christians are like that, but what I don't hear is Atheists or other non-Christians targeting Christians and rarely if ever mentioned in a demeaning manner. Unless its speak about the absurdly extreme ways a select few Christians have presented themselves (i.e. calling all gays demons or my favorite believing they should all die).

We get it. You're upset that this country isn't a theocracy.
A bigger issue is at hand here: In a true free nation, Compulsory education should not exist. Parents should have the final say as to how their children should be educated. That would be no different if the Government forced parents not to send their children to a Religious private school or have them homeschooled according to their religious worldview. That is a First amendment right that the Government has no right to prohibiting religion or the exercise thereof.
Separation of Church and State was not written by Thomas Jefferson just to prevent a White Christian Theocracy (if you are rightfully concerned about that). Rather, Separation of Church and State prevents a Government with a more Anti-Theistic worldview from imposing others from practicing their own religion freely.
Who said I'm an atheist?
@@angeliquaserenity5009 Newsflash genius, education is considered imperative to a functional society. If your populace isn’t educated, then there’s a lot you can’t do. It’s one of those things any government has to be involved.
Also governments had attempted to do just that. State governments to be exact. And what makes it better is that it was Christians (Protestants) doing it to other Christians (Catholics) because they hated Catholics. Oregon passed a law in 1922 called the Oregon Compulsory Education Act requiring students to attend public schools because they didn’t like Catholic schools. And it was struck down by the Supreme Court. If they would do that to their fellow Christians, I’d be more concerned with them doing it to others since atheists have not only never had that kind of power, but don’t have a history of doing that in this country.

Well you have to remember public schooling was transferred to online learning at home with assignments and tests being taken on platforms like Canvas and stuff. So they are still taught the same curriculum and are still forced to attend Zoom meetings in virtual classrooms at home. Nice logic argument, but easily destroyed by reality.
Don't simplify home schooling with school at home, it's the curriculum that the home schoolers are focusing on, not the social aspect of being in a public school vs home.

As a Christian-yep. That should’ve been the title. There’s nothing Christian about this one.
@Vik Voltaire Understanding that this particular movie in the series is nothing but political propaganda that is American nationalism disguised as a warped view of Christianity isn’t hating Christianity. It’s calling out “Christians” who don’t understand being followers of Christ but only what their skewed perception of that is based on exactly what’s portrayed in this movie-the incorrect assumption that Americans have a hold on “correct Christianity.” Also, I for one enjoyed the first two movies because they definitely had Christian themes. This is a movie about the cultish view too many American Christians have of nationalism and equating it with Christianity.
@Vik Voltaire good grief. You realize that Americans think they have a monopoly on Christianity yet it is a WORLD religion? I’m actually Catholic so, yeah, 100% Christian here, and I certainly don’t attempt to put ANY country before God which is EXACTLY what the theme of this movie seems to be. You’re not getting that the premise of this particular movie in the series is nothing but propaganda for the American version of evangelical Christianity. Did you even WATCH the trailer?
@Vik Voltaire also-you know you don’t HAVE to swear on the Bible nor does any elected official HAVE to swear on the Bible right? 😂 You could swear on a copy of Moby Dick and the oath stands. Also, “In God We Trust” wasn’t adopted until 1956-after “under God” was added to the pledge in 1954. This was all done during the McCarthy era. Learn to not argue with someone with a history degree with a particular specialty in certain eras of American History who is also a Christian.
@Vik Voltaire oh, and it’s even BETTER to not argue with someone who happens to be married to a lawyer and judge who just confirmed that they don’t even use a Bible or ANY book to swear as a witness in court. We live in the Bible Belt and he just confirmed he has NEVER seen a Bible used in court since he’s been practicing-20 years. Bye now. Good try.

"God's Not Dead 5: Night of the Living Grift"
American Christians: We’re about to be thrown in jail for our beliefs! I can feel it! 😭 😭
Christians literally anywhere else in the world: 😐
No one said we’d be thrown in jail NOW for our faith. It’s the parents going to jail because they won’t let their kids transition, the pastors who have already been sent to jail multiple times this year for hosting church services! It’s by living out your faith and Christian values that collides with the culture, not directly for being Christian. We know wayyyyy more and not to mention, FUND every org that takes care of the PERSECUTED church overseas! We have updated statistics of each and every way the church is put to death, beaten, raped, etc worldwide on a monthly basis! We have suffered with them and lived our lives differently to mourn with and take care of them, and we are not pretending to understand their pain, but we WILL point out the awful spiral in our nation as it takes every step that the countries who are heavily persecuted took to get where they are now. It is because of this deep injustice that we fight for what we have here so that our nation doesn’t end up like there’s!
@@KelseyMcSorley you act like the pastors who were sent to jail for having services this year weren’t causing cases of a deadly virus to rise, they 100% could have held services online which i myself attended through the pandemic and why should a parent be able to tell their child (who is their own person) that they can’t do something to they’re own body if it isn’t hurting them, christians in america act like they are persecuted when they are being held accountable for spewing hate and negatively impacting others we need to self reflect and learn how to spread gods love it is not our place to condemn or judge other people
@@jessicajade6955 Hear hear.
@@KelseyMcSorley They've been sent to jail because they have broken Covid protocols, not because of their faith. You can praise Jesus at home, and in fact, you should, especially when there is a global pandemic sweeping the world and wiping out hundreds of thousands of people. American Christians are not persecuted and will never be. When parts of our faith can be written into laws that govern the people, we are not oppressed. Sorry.
@@jessicajade6955 but yet Walmart, theme parks, & bars were allowed to be open at the same time that churches were forced to close- they even went after house churches with people having a handful of guests over in their own home. This is why they make these movies, to bring attention to the issue.
Homeschooling/unschooling can be hugely damaging.
true to that
@Mr. M I can tell you've never been homeschooled. I was and that shit was isolating to all hell. My education and mental state was definitely damaged until I got myself out of it. It took hell to undo the homeschooled effects and trauma. No one needs to go through that unless you actually have some disability that prevents you from coexisting in society as a whole or at a certain age.
Also the mask situation is valid. There's a global pandemic. This has happened before in history. Yes there are more than two genders since gender is both neuro and a social construct but more leaning on neuro. There are however only two sexes. No one argues that.
@Mr. M Highschool dropout and homeschool are completely different things. My wife was homeschooled and in her 30s is still struggling with basic maths and sciences she's been trying to apply to her own work and studies. There are whole internet forums dedicated to prior homeschoolers banding together to share issues they have had, maybe you should get out and explore their stories and get out of your small safe space.
I used to watch these kind of movies with my family and I'd feel like the world was against us true believers. I then learned the world statistically isn't even Christian and felt justified in my fervor to save the world. I prayed for comprehension and love for others but nothing changed. Then I learned how cultures and peoples work and I studied them for years. I hope any who read this know I used to hit my knees and cry out to God believing I was chosen. I now just want christians to stop pretending to be victims, like they don't have the power... You guys have the power, yet you focus on keeping it instead of using it to wash the poor's feet... You don't bath the down trodden in expensive perfumes to lift them up... This movie is an an insult to your God's power and his justice. If he was really all loving he wouldn't need propaganda from Hercules to make his point. You're his body in this world, I hope you take that calling seriously. Love, someone who once called Yahweh father...
Thank you for this comment it’s people like you who make the world heater for the poor.
Also like how your a fan of Wisecrack and channel awesome I watch them to.
amen! christianity is about forgiving and changing, and to be kind to those around you
. You talk against God but yet you’re here. Proves god hasn’t given up on you, nor you on God. Peace be with you
@@mikesmith3873 only proves I don't want others to suffer as I did over God. Human decency brings me here, not any god. Peace to you.
I thought it was gonna be something like "God’s not dead, in space 💫🌠🪐"
Just wait for it
There is a RUSSIAN space station? That’s communist and therefore of the devil. We gotta convert them or something!
When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. But I have crap vision. So then I wanted to be an astronaut missionary…to go into space and preach about Jesus.
@@bonzupippinpaddleoxacoppil484 The Russian space station Mir was actually the predecessor to the International Space Station. It remained in Low Earth Orbit from 1986 to 2001, until it's orbit decayed and it crashed to Earth (no one was on it at this time). Mir was the first continuously inhabited long-term research station in orbit and held the record for the longest continuous human presence in space at 3,644 days, until it was surpassed by the ISS on 23 October 2010. It holds the record for the longest single human spaceflight, with Valeri Polyakov spending 437 days and 18 hours on the station between 1994 and 1995. Mir was occupied for a total of twelve and a half years out of its fifteen-year lifespan, having the capacity to support a resident crew of three, or larger crews for short visits.
In September 1993, US Vice President Al Gore, Jr., and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin announced plans for a new space station, which eventually became the ISS. They also agreed, in preparation for this new project, that the United States would be heavily involved in the Mir program as part of an international project known as the Shuttle-Mir Program. The project, sometimes called "Phase One", was intended to allow the United States to learn from Russian experience in long-duration spaceflight and to foster a spirit of cooperation between the two nations and their space agencies, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos). The project prepared the way for further cooperative space ventures, specifically, "Phase Two" of the joint project, the construction of the ISS. The program was announced in 1993; the first mission started in 1994, and the project continued until its scheduled completion in 1998. Eleven Space Shuttle missions, a joint Soyuz flight, and almost 1000 cumulative days in space for US astronauts occurred over the course of seven long-duration expeditions.
If you wanted a story about a Christian American Astronaut and a Russian Cosmonaut having deeply involved conversations concerning faith and religion, this would be the setting for it.
Is this a sharknado reference
This movie: “YOu’Re tRYinG tO reMOve RELIgiON frOM ScHOOls!!”
Critical Race Theory and BIPOC History: “Sit down...”
CRT is worse then.... everything.
I often wonder if this is what Jesus had in mind when he was healing the sick and preaching about loving your neighbor
As a Catholic Christian in America,
I believe that every American citizen has the right to praise and worship in anyway they like. Whether they’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim and regardless of what their political views and differences are. Republican or Democrat.
I wholeheartedly agree with this comment
God's Not Dead: We The People will be in theaters October 4th, 5th and 6th. Tickets are now on sale at www.GodsNotDead.com
Me to
@@Jarod-te2bi *Too.
The Movie has characters of different Faith. Muslim Father. Christian daughter. They have Black, Latino and Asian Characters in all their Movies. It's very diverse. There is nothing wrong with being a CHRISTIAN ✝️
But couldn't you just teach your kids about God at church...or in the car...or by playing Christian music...or during Christmas...or during Easter...or at Bible Study every Wednesday...or before bed during nightly prayer...or during morning prayer...or during Summer...or at a BBQ with your Christian friends...or literally every time you say grace before you eat...or any day of the week after school...or when they ask questions about it...or
As someone who used to go to Bible Studies every Wednesday and to church almost every Sunday I can confirm that there are already plenty of other programs in place other than standard education to teach kids about God and Jesus.
Obviously you don't know what is being taught to our children in school or you would be pissed too.
Don't you try and make me talk to my shitty kids.
Yes but taking God out of school is literally like destroying the backbone the school system
@@lynnwilliams125 And what do you really know of it? What some talking head or fratbot politician told you to think?
I'd rather be watching a sequel
to The Passion of the Christ.
Have you watched the show The Chosen
Ken Masters, is that really you?!
Ok but it will have zombies in it.
@Ryan Sheridan
I once heard during a late at night show where he shaved off his beard.
@@yzmundanord1908
No I haven't, what's that?
At this point, I suspect God’s Not Dead 5 will be a guy escaping a concentration camp after he says “Bless you” to someone sneezing, and there’ll be comments like “This is EXACTLY what’s going right now”
Freedom isn't fragile because we have freedom in Christ. The Bible teaches us to respect human authority, but it also tells us not to place our trust in men.
The authority of the us constitution is what they are fighting in this movie.
It also tells us to teach our kids in Him, and to not keep them from Him. Yet that isn’t an option in public school.
@@hunterholden6261 I’m assuming you mean separation of church and state

You clearly don't know the history of America and how Christianity shaped all you have been able to enjoy
@@NoName-wy4hf Like slavery! Oppression of women and children?

@@gsousa997 They are directly incorporated right into both the Old and New Testaments.
@@WWZenaDo boy, go read the bible, and try to interpret it right, bcs you couldn't be further from the truth
What's funny is that the person who wrote the book, Rice Broocks said that the movies are kinda like Fast and The Furious going on and on and on...
No one should be targeted or bullied for their beliefs. Believing in God is not a crime. Love and Kindness is the entire fabric of our whole universe. It is time we start showing it and giving it back to others and all living beings.
As someone who was abused in a Christian homeschool environment, I’m disappointed that’s one of the main things the movie advocates for.
Sorry to hear about your abuse. We go to an evangelical church with many homeschool families. Why do you say you were abused? Was it mental, physical? Seriously curious. Thanks.
@@scottyCDL That is an odd question to ask someone. They say they were abused because they were abused. Why do you need to ask how?
@@UnableToWin nah not really. These people like to go around saying ''I was abused'' and then it ends up that their parents just spanked them.
@@UnableToWin no harm intended. We have a lot of homeschooler kids in our church, so I was curious as to what kind of abuse, becuase to my knowledge this is not a normal occurrence. wow, touchy crowd.
@@UnableToWin why do I think it's appropriate to discuss it online? He mentioned it online!! (for some reason). wow. Get over it and move on!
It’s far too early in the weekend for this level of comedy 😂😂😂
You won't be laughing in hell
Looking forward to Big Joel's review
Why so he can act like he knows crap when all he does is make himself look like an idiot
@@cooperallen7145 eh, I enjoy em alright
@@cooperallen7145 lol notice how you didn’t refute any of his points so you went for petty personal attacks instead? LOL how christian like of you
love Big Joel
As a Christian who was an atheist. I think God’s not dead has made more atheist then it has made Christians.
Big Joel is gonna have a field day with this one
Let's hope it's a silly little animated video, but I also enjoy seeing him in those fucking sweaters of his.
Oh my god I was just thinking this - another fellow fan!!!
God, I can't fucking wait!!
God's Not Dead baby!
this is so unintentionally funny
Just judging by the majority of the comments, this is why we need more properly homeschooled kids. We need to teach our children it's not alright to disrespect people and condemn them.
That's what your religion does to everyone who isn't a rich white straight christian male.
Really? I've had a ton of people condemn me to hell...
Sir, no one is trying to take your beliefs away in the US. There are countries with real religious persecution, such as China (Muslim Uyghurs, as well as Christians, Buddhists, and also pagan believers), or Iraq during the Iraqi war (Yazidis). The US constitution supports the freedom of belief, so if someone threatens you, you can flag their comment or complain at the court or your boss or someone. But if someone just says that this movie is stupid, or they don’t believe in Christianity because blahblahblah, it doesn’t threaten the constitutional right. Maybe you feel like your religious rights are being taken from you, but there were much worse cases of religious persecution in the history, including numerous genocides, mass murders, laws against religious practices, and so on. This movie is just absurd, because no one should discredit you at court, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, pagan, or from the Moon cult, that would just be unconstitutional. Therefore, courts and judges and the whole justice sphere must be religiously unbiased. Maybe the court rulings sometimes look a little anti-theistic and unfair in the eyes of some Christians/Hindus/Sikhs/whatever, but the law is the law and religion has no place in it. Most commenters were pointing out, how this movie is just taking the word of God in their mouth to play in the cards of US nationalists. The prominent figures in the US history were mostly Christian, and did some great things, but they certainly weren’t saint. Most of them did also terrible things. It also doesn’t mean, that if the founding fathers were Christians, Christianity should be the official religion in the US
Taught and practiced - because a lot of people from different cultures and religions came into the US. And many Native religions were here before that. Christianity is just the most widespread religion, and people back in the 18th/19th century were more religiously conservative than they are now, which caused that most prominent figures in European, and European-origins majority countries were Christian.
"Religion has been removed from our schools." Duh, because they are PUBLIC schools, meaning SECULAR. meaning if you want religion taught in schools, pay for a private one that does. In the meantime why does a Jew need to learn about Jesus or Alah.
Also, since when does a social worker show up to parents who are home schooling?
Man I'm upset, I thought they would form a militia and storm the Capitol to institute a Christian Theocracy....that would have been a good movie.
Oh my god😂😂😂
Probably the next one!
And it's going to be directly at the Capitol with a film
Christians in America: We’re being persecuted!
1st century church: How adorable
Wow witty and unique observation there. No you don't say and I don't think it was any in the trailer that they are suffering the same as the 1st century church. It's a american movie about current day America and the church in it and religious freedom. Really that attempt just shows that you do not understand context at all
Well let’s see when mandates are put in place that make churches close but allow strip clubs, casinos, liquor stores open up there is a problem. When people who aren’t even Christian such as the orthodox Jewish population as well as catholic groups sued the state of New York because of then governer Cuomo’s ridiculous mandates on religious gatherings.
“We are so oppressed, let’s make ANOTHER film about it.”
Bro, these guys are putting out movies that no one is willing to put out.
OK, why don't you put out movies about the real persecutions happening all over the world.
Your doing nothing but ridicule
Have you looked at this comment section it’s just people making fun of religious people
@@BLUESHROOM_GAMING right, problem is most of them call themselves Christians.
Hey they can cupcake. Oh no the Christians are making a movie. No one cares if you don't like it then don't s4ee it. Have some tolerance little atheist
@@BLUESHROOM_GAMING you guys make it so easy to make fun of you though
I love this trailer to the prequel of the Sons of Jakob Handmaid's tale series.
