A Fundamental Flaw of Deconstruction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- While these deconstructionists accurately describe deconstruction, they highlight one of the fundamental flaws in the process. Deconstruction has no right way to do it and no right destination. This assumes there is no objective truth when it comes to religious beliefs.
However, Jesus disagrees. In his famous Sermon on the Mount, He says, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:13-14).
First, notice Jesus mentions two ways. There is a narrow way and a broad way, a right way and a wrong way. Second, notice Jesus mentions two destinations. The right way leads to a good destination: life. The wrong way leads to a bad destination: Jesus calls it destruction. According to Jesus, there is absolutely a right place to land, and Jesus tells us how to get there.

There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death.
Proverbs 16:25
One of my favorite verses in all the Bible.
I think about this in all my decision making.
Lord, what should I do?
As soon as I heard "you do you," this verse immediately popped in my head! God is so good! ❤
So let me ask you, does this verse seem right to you??
So says God's propaganda. I'm sure Mein Kampf says lots of positive things about Fascism
@@colinmattswhat's wrong with the proverb?
A famous Luciferian occultist once said: "To each their own", and "Do what thou wilt".
As the Bible warns us, this is now the predominant philosophy in society.
Which Lucifer are you talking about ... Old Testament Jewish, Old Testament Christian, or New Testament?
@ron88303 the one Alistair crowley followed.
The Bible is Satan's book.
@@ron88303 Dumb question. The Lucifer of the Bible is the answer. There is only one.
That was the lie from the beginning. When the Serpent said to Eve, "you will become like God." It's the same iniquity that was found in Satan before he was cast out.
@ron88303, aren't they all the same? Revelation 12:9, "...that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world."
So all that deconstruction amounts to is a rejection of Jesus Christ, no matter the reason and no matter where someone "lands"--it'll always be staying in sin rather than submitting to a Savior.
No, it’s not
Winner winner chicken dinner
deconstruction is valueing my personal beleif over the Bible
@@benjaminwatt2436right, so self-idolatry
No; they'll be grounded in reality instead of myths and folklore.
As Gilbert K. Chesterton points out, "“There are many ways to fall down, but there’s only one way to stand up straight.”
Why do you call it "falling down". I say it's setting yourself free
Sure G. K., but Christianity is one of the many ways we fall. It's the face plant position; not the upright position.
@@colinmattsfreedom is being able to stand up straight. Else you are subject to be walked over.
@@hellonewman5855how is Christianity one of the ways we fall?
@@stevieoberg3104 It's false.
I can't think of anything, that makes me happier, than keeping the commandments, Reading the gospels, and having faith in Christ Jesus.
… he repeated to himself in the mirror over and over again until he believed it…
@@Tyler-Hoskins I run across a lot of trolls, your comment doesn't affect me, from your comment I would say, you probably live at home with your parents, being thirty years old, possibly jobless, with nothing better to do, than troll the Internet, to aggravate others, so good luck with that.
Good. But happiness is the byproduct of Christianity, not the point/goal.
Although I’m currently going through a serious re-evaluation of certain beliefs I held in my Christian walk up until very recently; I prefer to call my re-evaluation a “disentanglement,” because I’m doing my best to evaluate these beliefs with additional Bible study, prayer, and church attendance; and “re-calibrating” my conscience under the careful guidance of the Holy Ghost.
This is a very good way of putting it. Thanks for sharing.
A reformation
I think that’s a perfect term to describe it. I’ve been using the term “deconstruction” for a several of years now to describe my process of doing the same thing you’re doing, unaware that the term is being heavily used for a non-biblical movement
all Christians have to go through a time of growth were our faith is tested. hold on to the truth, trust the Bible, and join a church that hold to the authority of scripture and it know you're not alone
What you're doing is tantamount to confirmation bias.
"In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes."
A sentiment I struggle with, since God made it pretty clear that having a king would do Israel few favors. I mean, "right in his own eyes" is a dangerous sentiment, and it always came after a record of something nasty going on, so having a king was supposed to be better than that? Then Saul went a little nuts, David went less nuts, Solomon had a small country's worth of foreign concubines, and his sons broke Israel's spine.
In 1 Samuel 8:7, God tells Samuel the people have rejected Him as their king, and so they have cried out to be given a king. Maybe this will help with understanding that sentiment. When Israel remembered that God was their king, they would do as He saw fit. When they forgot Him as their king, they would do as they saw fit. When they cried out for an earthly king, they had to do as the earthly king saw fit. This was more ordered than everyone for themselves, but not often better, because the king was a flawed human being as well. David, as a man after God's own heart, came the closest, most of the time, but still failed spectacularly at times.
"Everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Unless they broke the law. Then they went to jail
@colinmatts No, in Judges the law the lenient on many moral issues, so we saw mass rape and murder and total chaos in most of Israel.
@@Dylan_Devine You're quoting an ancient story as though it were FACT
The deconstruction from Christianity community is also made up largely by people who like to judge God as though he is just a bigger person, and also largely just don’t get what’s being said in the Bible when it comes to their deconstruction verses.
Though we must pray for them because some people have very real doubt, like many of us have before and it’s expected of us to show compassion while calling out nonsense and false teaching that some have.
Many would consider the Bible nonsense and false teaching.
Ten commandments false teaching? Yikes you got a pretty messed up moral compass. Even athiests have basic morals of right and wrong and if you read the bible I think you would agree there is a lot of wisdom in it. It's not false teaching.@@ron88303
@@ron88303then they have to throw out everything that western civilization has produced because of its teachings, like the brotherhood of man, the idea that all people are the same race, that all people should have equal rights under the law, and certain ideals that led to the abolition of certain inhumane concepts such as slavery.
@@ron88303 and many would consider it the opposite. Truth isn't decided by a vote.
It isn't about "judging" God. It's about realizing there was never a good reason to believe him in the first place.
I think the term is now used to make faith abandonment sound cool. One may walk away from the faith, and call it deconstruction, but in the end they have still walked away.
Yes. Walked away after being groomed since childhood
Sometimes they "walk away" into being humble enough to admit that we may not have all the answers. If we get confirmed proof that gives us answers then that's great. In the meantime we choose to be honest with ourselves. There could well still be a God. But why pretend that we have this God all figured out? We may as well be ants claiming to know what the human walking above us really thinks about us.
1 John 2:19 sums it all up.
They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
Just because someone leaves your club doesn't mean they are not joining a better one
@@colinmattsRejecting God is not better than giving your allegiance to God.
It sounds like they don’t really care what you believe, as long as your faith in Christ is destroyed. “Be whatever you want!…as long as you’re not devout.”
In my experience with both Jo and David, absolutely.
I have always wondered why anyone would listen to someone who doesn't believe truth exists?
How do you know what truth is?
@@colinmatts I dont know what the truth is, but truth is a simple matter, I think therefor I am, if I were not I could not experience consciousness. I may be wrong about the nature of my consciousness, but experience itself proves the existence of an experiencer. If reality exists, and in some way expressions of reality exist, than when an expression of reality conforms with reality there is the truth.
I may be wrong 100% of the time about everything, we could all be wrong 100% of the time, but truth and falsehood exist
@@henryc7548 " but truth and falsehood exist". I agree. But how do we go about distinguishing them? By experience or blind adherence to ancient scriptures?
@@colinmatts That's a moot point as it relates to my comment and the video, don't you think?
Because it fits their truth. If there is no truth all is permissible. Or no truth then no God. Etc.
“You do you” is the worst advice ever. There is NOTHING good in me. I don’t ever want to go back to me. Ever.
Be a better you then. TIP: you don't need God to be it
@colinmatts we need God for the same reason we do perform our own open heart surgery. Some of us are not stupid enough to think that we can do everything ourselves. Sometimes we need help from others. Be it looking to God for guidance or fellowship with our brothers and sisters to help us through hard times (sometimes it's holding us accountable when we slack off.) You are in no position to tell other people what they need.
There is a group of self proclaiming satanists where I live (pray for them), and their motto is "Do what you want." I hate to see that this motto has taken a hold of my generation. I pray that other young people like myself will realize that they will never find fulfillment in doing what they want. The only way for them to be fulfilled and to grow is through Jesus.
@@heydeereman1040 And you are? I've been perfectly content and happy without religion. Everything I do is because I do it, not some deity.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.- Galatians 1:8-9.🙏🏼

@@Psalm1188drm Micheal Heiser-divine council
“Deconstruction” is just the modern word for apostasy.
Exactly 👍
Beautifully said
no, apostasy is only the denunciation, deconstruction is the process that led to it.
I can enthusiastically recommend Alisa Childers' "Another Gospel?" for a thorough exploration of deconstruction seen through her own experiences. She has done an amazing amount of good work in this book, strictly adhering to Biblical truth throughout, and going back in church history to the early fathers to show that they believed the Scriptures completely. She also analyzes the progressive "gospel:" Jesus + social justice, Jesus + special knowledge, and Jesus - judgement. She emphasizes that this is nothing new, it appeared in slightly different form even during the lives of the apostles, and has been around in some form ever since. She also has co-authored a new book on deconstruction coming out January 24.
I can enthusiastically recommend Bible. Period.
@@roman_kofynoThe Bible is important, for it is the Truth. That does not mean there are no other texts that point to the Scripture and help guide people facing the particulars of today’s social dynamics to understand that the truth is in the Word, not in the world.
Ms. Childers?? That you?
@@mattr.1887Right 😂 It sounds like an add
2 Thessalonians. 2: "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first..." Deconstruction = Falling Away = Apostasy. That DAY is SOON! Come Lord Jesus! Amen!
Yes Lord Jesus, come soon!
Deconstruction and turning away from Judeo-Christian teachings are only a part of it.
The falling away of the Church is a lot more sinister than just that. I apologize in advance, but I will have to leave a couple of fairly long posts to provide the scriptural support showing you what I am talking about. What I mean is, I like to use two or three passages supporting each other rather than cherry pick one verse or passage and build a thesis/conclusion from it.
Galatians 5:4-6
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; *ye are fallen from grace.* 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Hebrews 6:4-6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 *If they shall fall away,* to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 12:14-17
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently *lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;*
16 *Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.*
17 For ye know how that afterward, *when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.*
Matthew 7:21-23
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.
22 Many will say to me in that day, *Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?*
23 *And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.*
Hebrews 10:28-31
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 *Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?*
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Titus 1:10-16
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: (Unbelieving Torah Jews)
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 *Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.* (Babylonian Talmud)
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 *They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.*
Matthew 24:4-13
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
-To date, there have been 266 Popes who have come in Christ’s name, calling themselves the “Vicar of Christ”, Potentate (Sovereign) over the Church. As Paul wrote to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:15-16, Jesus is the ONLY Potentate.
According to the Vatican, there are 1.2 billion Catholics in the world today. That is a lot of people being deceived by the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation (ethnos: race) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 *And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.*
11 *And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.*
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Due to the increase of iniquity/sin promoted by Liberals, Conservatives will begin to hate them and seek their destruction by the hands of men. There will be no mercy or forgiveness. Those who show no mercy will be given no mercy themselves.
Matthew 24:24
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
-Christians are the elect of God, chosen before the foundation of the world to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ through faith in Him.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
When a person is truly saved by placing their faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit writes God's moral standards/requirements on your heart and mind. Preaching Liberalism and deconstructionism is not the way to deceive the elect, if possible. The way you would do that is by appearing as though you follow God's moral laws and requirements. Remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees? "Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father you do." Yet those were the very people who thought they were serving God.
John 16:1-3
1 These things have I spoken unto you, *that ye should not be offended.* (To be offended is to turn away from the Gospel, losing faith in Jesus.)
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: *yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.*
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
2 Peter 2:1-3
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, *who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them,* and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 *And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.*
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
The falling away of the Church will be completed when faith in Christ is replaced by a return to Laws derived from the Talmud called the Seven Laws of Noah.
The falling away will be led by the harlot of Revelation 17-18, the Roman Catholic Church, with the (next) Pope denying the Deity of Jesus Christ and calling anyone who worships Jesus as God a blasphemer and idolator worthy of death (by guill-tine).
Many, like Esau, will give up their inheritance to save their life for a short period of time by denying Christ, forfeiting their salvation. Others, having become bitter towards Liberals and the promotion of immorality, will begin to hate them and see them as a blight on humanity which must be eradicated. They will be deceived into thinking they are doing the will of God while their actions prove they are reprobates concerning the faith.
With promises of wealth and prosperity if we follow these laws, it is not going to be hard to gain followers in a society where the acquisition of wealth (and all it brings with it) is the driving force of many people's lives. Add to that the Government giving privileges to those who turn in their friends, relatives and neighbors who will not deny Deity of Christ and you have someone who is willing to gain the whole world and lose their soul.
Luke 12:42-46
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 *But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;*
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
2 Peter 3:3-7
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, *Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.*
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.
The Roman Catholic Church, and those who align themselves with it, believe it is up to them to create the kingdom of God on earth. They are the people being spoken of in the two passages above. They have willingly forgotten about the flood and God's judgement on the earth, thinking Jesus is taking too long to judge the earth and that it's up to them to take the kingdom of heaven by force.
Did you know that Capitol Hill was originally called "New Rome", owned by a man named Francis Pope? And like Rome, Washington, D.C. sits on seven hills.
The United States, like the Roman Empire, has the eagle as its symbol.
The Roman Catholic Church owns more US property than any other entity.
Along with Jews, Roman Catholics dominate the US Supreme Court.
All US Presidents Related to this One King? | SELECTED or ELECTED? | reallygraceful
In a post-American revolution society, it would seem like the divine rights of kings would be a distant memory, but is the reality really so? Do certain bloodlines still hold power within our current government system? And if all US presidents are somehow united in blood, does that mean our leaders are really elected by the people? Or does that mean they’re selected by few?
All of the US’s “elected” Presidents have been related to King John of England, descendant of Charlemagne. Only Gerald Ford, who was not “elected” into the Presidency, was not related to King John and Charlemagne. Charlemagne was crowned “Holy Roman Emperor” by Pope Leo III. Queen Elizabeth in the UK was (and King Charles is) also descended from Charlemagne.
Daniel 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, *and he shall subdue three kings.*
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 14:8-13
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
---Mystery, Babylon the Great is three parts/kings. Rome, United States, United Kingdom.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Revelation 17:5-6
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Revelation 17:16-18
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
---The city spoken of here is Rome, which reigned over the kings of the earth when John received the vision. The RCC is the spiritual whore who has added paganism, unbiblical doctrines, rituals and rules of men to the Gospel and will soon enough deny the Lord who bought her.
Remember King Josiah and what happened when the Book of Law was shown to him? He lamented over their failure to follow the Law of Moses and reformed Israel.
The US has its own "Law" it has thus far failed to keep, a law containing the Seven Laws of Noah.
You Ess Public Law Won Zero Too dash Won Fore (Sorry, I had to do that for YT)
Whereas Congress recognizes *the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our, great Nation was founded;*
Whereas *these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven No-hide Laws;*
Whereas *without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos; Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society; Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;*
Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical values and principles throughout the world; Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991: Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, “the rebbe”, this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of “education and giving”, the year in which we turn to education and charity to *return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven N-ahide Laws:*
The following is a partial listing of the No0hide Laws as derived from the Babylonian Talmud. *Three of these Laws require the death penalty by beheading/guillotine when broken: Blasphemy, Idolatry and Sexual Immorality.* (Note: Unlike in the Old and New Testament teaching “By the mouth of two or more witnesses..”, these Laws only require one accuser for the accused to be brought to the courts and condemned.)
Idolatry:
Must worship God alone.
*Must not worship any man (ie: Jesus) as God.*
No idols or statues. Do not bow to idols or statues. Do not offer sacrifices to idols or statues.
Blasphemy:
Do not curse God.
Do not use God's name in vain.
*Worship the true God alone, do not worship false gods. (Worshiping Jesus is also seen as blasphemy.)*
Murder:
Against murdering anyone, self defense is permitted.
*Mass murderers will be given the death penalty. (Abortion is classified as mass murder.)*
Theft--Do not:
Steal.
Rob.
Overcharge -Have you noticed how many of today’s large corporations seem to be pushing the “progressive” message about “fairness, PRIDE, tolerance, inclusion, diversity, equity” while also overcharging for their products? And how many of these corporations are known to overwork and underpay their workers, reaping huge profits for themselves as they commit wage theft?
Kidnap.
Move a landmark. (Probably not good for BLM/Antifa activists who tear down historical landmarks.)
Do not use false weights and measurements.
Do not covet. (I would think this applies to Socialists who believe they should receive the benefits of other people's work.)
*Sexual Immorality--No:*
Bestiality
Incest
*Homosexuality*
Barack Obama was “controlled opposition”, a descendant of King John and Charlemagne. The homosexuals have been promised increased rights and privileges, tolerance and inclusion, thinking they are being “normalized” in our society. They have been manipulated into exposing themselves publicly for elimination. The Government now has marriage records, phone and text records (Patriot Act) and online records (Earn It bill) which will be used against them.
Prevention of animal cruelty.
Do not eat an animal while it is still alive.
Do not eat flesh of animal torn apart by a wild animal
Justice Law - Against
Bribery
Favoritism -Although called the “Equal Opportunity Act”, what we have seen are people being hired or promoted not for their talents, skills and education, but based on the color of their skin, gender and sexual orientation (even if they are not qualified for the job or promotion), otherwise known as “intersectionality”. Is this “equality”, or favoritism?
Condemning the innocent
*Must administer the death penalty*
Treat people equally before the law
If there isn't a right way, then there is only wrong ways.
I think I’ve had a different interpretation of deconstruction. The way I’ve always thought about it was just the process of breaking down one’s faith to examine the parts to remove the false things one believed and grow stronger in the truth. This is what I did several years ago when I felt like I was convicted on some of the things I had always believed, and I even still do to this day on a smaller scale.
But I guess I should change what I’m calling that if the world is using the term deconstruction in a way that just means to break down your faith until you’re happy. I don’t want to lead people astray because of a misunderstanding.
I think that is how most evangelicals think of deconstruction. They think of it like a healthy inpection of one's faith. All of us Christians have done that. however, most people who use the term are not thinking of it like that. it is a falling away from truth. it better fits the definition of back slidding. Poeple who are deconstructing usually deny any truth that is inconvinient, uncomfortable or difficult and that is the kind of deconstruction we as true beleivers have to stand against
Yes that was actually what I thought the real meaning of deconstruction.
Trying to analyze the things you believe in so you can grow stronger in faith.
But now people are just throwing the Baby with the bath water
Deconstruction is postmodern term and it has been used by Christians who were just examining their faith, but out in the world that isn't how anyone uses the word. I think Tim and Alisa's suggestion of using the word "reforming" your faith works better.
"deconstruction" is just another tool the devil uses to confuse Christians.
I’ve understood the word deconstruction to mean that you’re removing the harmful elements from your thinking after de conversion
so basically YOU become GOD, whatever you say goes, who cares about TRUTH, as long as you're happy, anything goes...these people are under a strong delusion to believe this nonsense...Congratulations for your new book!
No, you seem to be missing quite a bit. Maybe a little above your head?
@@ron88303 people who don't have any good arguments resort to insults.
The problem with deconstruction of faith is that man is inherently religious. He will always worship something. It doesn't matter if it's religion, sports, celebrities, money, whatever... man will always find something beyond themselves to glorify and worship, almost as if they were made for such a task. That is the undercurrent if the whole issue. People who try to "deconstruct" it are just proving this point over and over as the purpose to deconstruct something is to ultimately break it down from what it was originally. They just end up going back to worshiping something else, so the cycle never ends.
I guess there can't be a "definite end goal" when you are just moving onto the next phase of the cycle.
i've seen this in the high schools as a teacher. the newer generations are growing up without Christian parents or church. New aithiest claimed this generation would reject God, but thats not what i see at all. My students are very religious. sadly, the religion that is replacing Christianity is new age. My students where crystals, know their zodiac sign, beleive in meditation and some even openly practice magic or other pagan customs
Not true at all. I'm seventy and am not religious, although I am curious. And I don't know if there is or isn't a God, but to me that's not the most important question. And I think there are many like me.
@@ron88303i think you might like godless granny if you haven’t seen her videos
How did you come to the conclusion that man is "inherently religious". If we are not brainwashed with religious dogma as impressionable children chances are we will grow up with more open minds. I know two children who are being raised non religious. They don't need to worship ANYTHING
@@colinmatts So there is nothing you hold in high regard? No shows or books, authors, athletes, nothing? Nothing or nobody you have even been fascinated or enthralled with? You are the only person on Earth who has never wanted any one thing so bad you would do just about anything to get it?
These comments instantly conjured up the idea that this is so similar to the gender confusion in the world. So if Satan can’t get us one way, he’ll go another route. Stay strong, stay in the TRUE Word of God!
How do you know Satan is real or what the word of god is?
Why doesn't God kill Satan?

"Deconstruction" is just people telling Jesus
"I'm not like.... breaking up with you, I just think we need to take a break from each other...*

They neglect to mention that there are “wrong” ways to land with deconstruction. They never affirm anyone’s faith being strengthened or coming to a decision to deny themselves and grow closer to God. As long as you are dismantling your faith somehow and rebuilding your belief system in your own image they don’t care, because that’s the only goal. I’m sure they won’t be around when the whole house of cards falls down, either.
All these people thinking they know what deconstruction is clearly have no idea what it is or the mental turmoil it puts people through
Agreed.

Imagine being so dillusional that you believe in things that contradict our objective reality.
The funniest part is not knowing wether you're directing this at religious or non religious people. Everyone says the same of the opposite group.
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way."
When a new church opens, the first thing the devil tries to do is become a "member" of that church or denomination. Any "faith" that is primarily about your happiness and not putting Jesus in the center is already being led by the devil.
How do you know the devil is real? Are you saying that all the non Christian religions are led by the Devil? What nonsense
Should be called destruction
Sounds to me like everyone doing what is right in their own eyes. Now where have I heard that before?
When I hear the word deconstruction I used to think of people trying to take something and explain more easily like the answer is still truth but it helps explain what goes on only to now see when people use the word deconstruct is to explain what they think and/or feel is right regardless of the subject
There isn't anywhere to land because it is up to you. It is freedom.
There is a con in deconstruction. If you see past it you'll see what it really is, destruction.

This is my main reason why I like to encourage "reconstruction", not deconstruction. Like, I think it's good to process your faith separate from outside influence, root out all the harmful things you may have come to believe, and find more joy and peace in life. But you'll only find life by turning to Jesus, not wherever you end up after throwing God and His Word away.
Any person that tells you not to listen to a group of people with an opposing view is probably not worth your time

I just began your book yesterday. It is an invaluable tool against apostate deconstructionists.
“You do you” in and of itself is destructive.
How is it destructive if you are not harming anyone else? Ever heard of "live and let live"?
@@colinmatts I don’t presume that this exclusively means I’m harming someone else however it also doesn’t imply I have my concern for anyone else so long as I’m satisfied.

Well said Mr. Red pen. Sadly these People are drunk from the fruit which comes from the “tree of the knowledge of good evil”
The fruit is when people say “God won’t decide Good and Evil, I will decide what’s Good, and what is evil!” 😢
That's what men did when they wrote the Bible.
Amen!
So sad that ‘you be you’ leads to death and destruction.
It's amazing that what used to take decades of study and thought and revision now takes a teenager mere days of RUclips videos to come to solid conclusions on. A twelve year old can deconstruct an entire belief system with ease.
When it comes to deconstructing faith, Joe was right on target when he said “there isn’t a right way to deconstruct…” the problem was, he kept speaking.
There is only one way.
There is only one truth.
There is only one God.
None of that is by accident.
My way, your way, is all the same highway, and it leads straight to hell.

Most of “deconstruction” is probably rooted out of church style or some kind of hurt within the practice of our flavours of Christianity… not even a theological or doctrinal issue.

Postmodern assumptions are the water we breathe and the air in which we swim.

"You do you." 2 Book of Fabrications.🙄🤷
Deconstruction is inevitable if you look at how the claims were compiled, then tweaked over the years to try to answer questions.
The lies, the forgeries, why would they have to change it if it were true?
It seems like most of these people were never actually born again. Like, they were probably raised in the church and were told if they “ask Jesus into their heart” they would go to heaven, and that’s basically the extent of the Good News they heard. And, you’re totally right that this movement is Post-Modern.
That’s a wild assumption about people you’ve likely never met, whose experiences and relationships you’ve never seen or engaged in. Let’s maybe not generalize an entire idea without any clue what you’re talking about. For all you know, you could be the very reason someone might deconstruct their faith.
Deconstruction has some of the following outcomes. You can leave, you can stay, or you can be unsure of if all somewhere in the middle. You want people that question their faith to come back to your religion. That's the outcome that you want. But this is about individuals questioning their beliefs and asking themselves, why do I believe what I believe, and could I be wrong? It has nothing to do with you what you want, or what your religion wants etc.
Notice this too: if there are many who take the broad road and few who take the narrow, then that means that of the estimated 100 billion people who’ve ever lived, AT LEAST 50 billion and one are in or going to Hell.
50 billion+ people in conscious eternal torture
When everything is subjective there is no truth
No one says 'everything' is subjective. The Earth goes around the Sun. Evolution is a fact. Murder is wrong.
Great breakdown of another new age trap for immature believers! You cannot deny the one objective truth that is Jesus Christ and call yourself a Christian!! Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [a]Because narrow is the gate and [b]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Imagine dedicating enough time to write about someone you think is evil/irrelevant/non existent. The irony of the devotion needed for such amuses me
As someone who did "as thou wilt" I wouldn't recommend it.
Do as thou wilt as long as it isn't harming anyone else. What's wrong with that?
@colinmatts Because while on surface level, it advocates for avoiding harm to others, it also doesn’t advocate for helping others either. Nor does it give any incentive to. It also isn’t in the law to be a Good Samaritan, so as long as you don’t commit mass murder or rape or mass theft or any other socially heinous acts that could lead to jail time, you can do as you please. If someone is in a harmful situation but you aren’t the direct cause of that harm then it’s purely based on whether you feel like you have to help them or not or if it’s convenient to you or not.
If I was a millionaire but decided to purely use that money for my own interests and never did anything altruistic with it at all, well as long as I’m happy and I’m not directly hurting individuals with my money then I can buy as many Lamborghinis as I want and pass by the soup kitchens along the way.
@@chibu3212 While it might be beneficial to society help others, there is no moral imperative on us to do so. The maxim, "thou as thou wilt" could include helping others if you are willing to do so.
If you are a millionaire, you can buy Lamborghinis AND help out at soup kitchens if you wish. Nothing in "do as thou wilt" contradicts that.
@colinmatts My point wasn’t that do what thou wilt is contradictory, I think that was a move of a goal post. I was just highlighting its side effects because it’s intentionally so vague and its bar for morality (good and bad) is in hell. Everything is just tied down to individualism. My Lamborghini and soup kitchen example was an example how people can find reasons not be altruistic and help the less fortunate around them if they either aren’t willing to do so or if aiding those in their community doesn’t fit into their subjective definition of being a “good” person cause at least they aren’t (insert cultural taboo or crime here) or were directly involved.
@@colinmatts As a matter of fact, there is most certainly a moral imperative to help others. I believe that if you have the resources, the wealth, ability, and authority to help others and you do not do so, you are no different than the villains. Apathy is worse than hate. Hate can be transformed into love, apathy does not care.
LOL, I wouldn't say deconstruction is like a vacation, more like a slow horrible car crash! I understood your logic. Great video.
My deconstruction was, and continues to be, LIBERATING. Believing in God is like being stuck in car that is broken down
@colinmatts
A broken-down car, huh? That's not been my experience. Serving and following Christ has been the most amazing journey ever. It's been one of the most challenging and difficult things I've ever done, but it's certainly been a liberating one. I suppose there are two types of liberation; one of the flesh and one of the spirit. The first part of my life was liberating the flesh and I burned hot and bright for awhile, like cardboard when it's lit, but gratefully I burned out soon and realized I needed a better fuel source. Living for Christ by the Holy Spirit is the second type of liberation, it burns just as hot and bright, but it is an eternal flame that will never go out. I don't know what god you were serving, but it couldn't have been the living God of Christ, because He's fire! LOL
Here lately I've been going through some trials. I had to leave the church I was a part of for 7 years and my wife and I are crushed and sort of disillusioned by the whole mess and also I've been dealing with a lot of temptations and it's been rough, just rough. So today as I was at a dentist appointment and the nurse walked in. I immediately was impressed by her cheerful nature and laughter but I kept sensing something was off, after talking with her for awhile I could sense that her laughter and cheerful nature was a front to mask her true feelings. Hidden underneath the laughter was anxiety and sadness. Immediately my chest began to burn and I could feel the Lord by His Holy Spirit convict me to say something to her, and I struggled for awhile because I'm such a shy coward sometimes and I finally decided to just say something! So right before I left I said can I say something to you? And she said sure! I so I proceeded to tell her my testimony of how Jesus has changed my life and how He loves her and wants her to know He's watching her and really wants to help her with her struggles and she began to tear up and told me, you have no idea how hard my life has been here recently and I then proceeded to give her some bible verses I believed would help her. After I had left and got alone in my car I began to notice my troubles and trials had just faded away. In that moment I understood once again what my purpose was in life. And thats to bring hope to people who are constantly being beat down by this life and its many troubles. And I fully believe Jesus Christ and His Salvation is the greatest hope we can ever have. ❤️
So, I don't know man. I'm far from perfect, and I'm the first to say it, but I know Jesus is the greatest thing I have, and I just want to share that with the whole world, and you my friend need Him too. We all do, and He is more than a necessity, he's a delight once yoy really discover his true nature. My prayers are with you friend.
@@Godsglory777 "and one of the spirit"...How do you know anyone has a spirit? You have convinced yourself that Jesus is the greatest thing you have. That's not evidence Jesus is real. I certainly no need any long dead apocalyptical preachers in my life
@colinmatts ok. I'll be praying for you.
@@Godsglory777 You do that. For all the difference it'll make
The other problem is that so many professing believers go to “churches” with teaching that make no biblical senses, so if people start examining scripture within a false framework, then the bible suddenly becomes full on contradictions in their minds.
There's no specific destination for anyone "deconstructing" their faith as anything other than Jesus and his word is exactly what the enemy is after. You've "made it" as far as the devil is concerned no matter WHERE you land outside of the Cross and the Shed Blood of Jesus.
"All we like sheep have gone astray..."
Thank you for your ministry!
Most people do not understand deconstruction. There are only two ways to do it: the correct way and wrong way.
The correct way is to have a good biblical foundation and Godly council during it, this will cause you to land with a stronger faith.
The wrong way is to have only one or neither, and that'll cause you to most likely lose your faith.
Deconstruction is nothing more than going back to the basics of your faith, but if you never built your faith on the rock, then you'll most likely lose it all during the process.
Having talked directly with Jo, she doesn’t accept where everyone lands. I landed with Jesus and boy does that make her mad. Especially considering I have a Jewish heritage.
David, on the other hand, was okay at first (I like how he supports asking questions, something the Bible directly tells us to do when saying “test every spirit”) but now he’s just in it for getting money.
Is there even a semantic difference between “deconstruction” and “destruction”? Or is it just an obfuscation?
So its not about the journey away from Christianly its more about the departure, as long as you leave the house of Christianity?
Like, its not a vacation if you just stay in the house as long as you leave?
History re[eats: when there is no king. "Every man did that which is right in his own eyes," [Judges 21:25] The king we need is Jesus.

Deconstructionism is a denial, in toto, of truth. This is self-referentially absurd. A logical contradiction. Therefore, it is a lie and no lie is of the truth (1 John 2:21).
Maybe it's just a denial of YOUR unexamined truth, which you've accepted without any critical thinking.
@@ron88303
Critical thinking is not a substitute for logic. But that is exactly what the universities have done (replaced logic with "critical thinking"), which has produced confused persons such as yourself. There is no "my truth" or your truth. There is only truth and truth is not subjective. To call multiple worldviews that contradict each other "valid" is logically fallacious and just plain stupid.
Reminds me of something Miyamoto Musashi once said.
How do you know Christianity is truth?
@@colinmatts
Because God has revealed it in Scripture.
"De-construction" is literally another way of saying "destruction". How appropriate.
You're like the 10th person in this comment section to figuratively jerk themselves off to this word play and think you did something creative.
If there is no "right way" for deconstructionists, then does that mean there are only wrong ways?
Interestingly, I agree almost entirely with this lad about deconstruction. If you're objectively following the data, deconstruction should lead to more or less the same place for everyone participating in it. That it leads to different end points is indicative of bias/subjectivity. That being said, believing in most of the truth claims of Christianity would also not be due to objectively following data, so it's a bit of pick your poison on this particular topic.
So, a couple of people on TikTok have bad takes on deconstruction, so from there we can conclude that the process of deconstruction commits one to there being no objective facts?
Yeah, no.

With deconstruction, you will either land closer to Christ or away from Christ.

Thank you Tim! Really appreciate your content brother... also... where can I buy the hats you wear? Let me know!
I think the best thing we can do for people who are considering deconstruction or in the midst of it is to listen and answer intelligently and honestly. If you don't have a good answer, answer honestly that you don't have a good answer, and then, if you can, find the answer. It may be a better thing for apologists to do to answer the one in doubt than the one who has made up their mind not to listen. I don't mean to attack you or your channel with this, just saying what I'm thinking.
I feel like this is just a way for people to rationalize leaving the faith. All while parading it as an intellectual endeavor.
rationalizing does take intellect. that’s how it works buddy
I value language, so I think for words to mean anything, we need to use them properly, regardless of our personal feelings, and not twist them to our benefit.
Deconstruction:
a method of critical analysis of philosophical and literary language which emphasizes the internal workings of language and conceptual systems, the relational quality of meaning, and the assumptions implicit in forms of expression.
In simpler terms, deconstructionists actually study internal meaning of everything written in the Bible as it had to have been originally intended. This is something every Christian is called to do by the Bible itself multiple times. That it often leads to Atheism is the failure of the Bible on its own merits, not because the person deconstructing “wants to sin and reject Jesus.” These people just want to properly understand their Bible and the actual merit and truth of their beliefs. Asserting anything else is straight up false, and frankly dishonest.
I’d like to ask them: If all options are valid, is not deconstructing valid?
I applied deconstruction in all my exams.
Exam markers not amused.
It would be helpful to explain what deconstruction is. I have no idea what they are talking about
I put a positive spin on deconstruction. If they leave Christian faith, it’s because they were false converts. Since it’s hard to convert when you (falsely) think you’re already converted, they actually have taken a step closer to actual conversion.
"False converts"? Even the ones who were brainwashed with it as babies?
They never say it has to be because of what makes them happy. Although there are some that it's definitely built on preferences rather than what they think is actually true. This equally can apply to Christians.
Rather it's what those that are deconstructing are convinced is true. Obviously if you hold a belief you are convinced that is the correct one, or the one the most corresponds to reality. So it follows the same train if thought with those deconstructing. Sure I fully acknowledge there are objective truths, but there are relative and subject truths as well i.e. person X believes that proposition Y is true.
So it's just erroneous to say that it's not about seeking objective truth.
The Deconstructionists are also assuming that people who "deconstruct" their life away from Jesus are ever going to land anywhere. It is always interesting to hear people deny the existence of absolute truth, and then talk as if their opinions are absolutely true.
your truth is based on nothing. their truth is based on evidence.
