*End of the story after Satan fell back into Hell*
Satan: ...
Belial: ...I knew we should have tried women.
Satan: Shut up, Belial.
Shutyerface Belial!
Lmao sounds like the end of some drake and josh episode or something
This is the funniest comment for me
😂
Who knows what would have happened 😂
I just like how the devil gives these long, well thought out, and eloquent speeches only for Christ to essentially be like “you know what dude *starts rubbing his temples* just do whatever it is your gonna do” the only thing the devil was truly tempting was Christ’s patience.
Which was the true test all along.
I liked this at comment like # 666 😅 I screenshot it lol
@@tonijackson3421 it’s currently at 669 and i just can’t change it… it has to stay this way 😂😅
Bros been here since creation ''Bible Lore"
literally 😭
If anything people being like "maybe the devil was the good guy/misunderstood" from these books are just testaments to how well written they are.
Depicting a figure widely known to be evil but with incomparable charisma, to write that figure in such a charismatic way that it even tricks the reader is quite the feat
ya, in the poem he’s described as a handsome man. Sin is tempting, attractive, and deceitful. If the devil is supposed to embody sin and evil, it would make sense that he would be charismatic and relatable on a surface level.
Excactly. It doesn't say that satan was a good guy, it just kind of humanises him thus making us question his motives even more.
That or a really short attention span to forget how Satan created death and was the architect of humanity's downfall.
Because that's ALL the devil can do. He's powerless in any material sense. All he can do is tempt. Of course he'd have to get pretty good at it. He knows he's going to lose in the end. he knows he's outmatched. He's just a petulant child trying to flip over the game board before he inevitably loses and bring down as many people with him as possible. He's really a pathetic character when you get down to it.
@@Zeronightmarefox well it worked on the other fallen angels...
17:25 “sorry if that was boring”
Probably the most meaningful way I’ve heard Jesus’s humanity described and I was in the church for many years. Literally brought tears to my eyes thinking about it.
Mans preaching without sounding like he forcing peoples to convert to Christianity, which i liked.
@@nitsu2947 plot twist: he isnt forcing Christianity on anyone but offering it per say
@@nitsu2947 how can you force via video? theres extremely rare cases of forced conversion anyway. Its a faith based religion so you cant even "force" it if they dont believe in it
@@dbj116 "in the past" thats a very clear phrase, i never denied it happened in the past, im talking about 2023. I know chinese and japanese and the middle east, and romans all did it. It was very very common. Still is in many middle eastern countries, at least apostasy is

Absolutely

With a dash of brimstone.
Mark really said "I ain't writing allat" when writing the story about Jesus fasting in the desert
"[...] and Satan was there too, but fuck that guy, I'm not writing about him. Moving on"
I have to say, watching wendigoons videos has helped repair my relationship with my dad, who is a deeply religious man. We can actually talk about the Bible and god without it feeling like he is trying to recruit me. I love him and while im not religious, I find the Bible fascinating, especially having someone like Wendi being able to explain it to me in a way I can digest it.
I am very glad to hear that you are rebuilding that connection, and your dad is opening up to your beliefs. Speaking from personal experience, a lot of old school religious people are hesitant to accept anything beyond what they were taught. I love God. The infinite presence of love, a being without being. Although, I am very against religion in general, as I've seen far too many people be hurt and pushed away from God, or innocent people become brainwashed cult members from what a religion teaches. Regardless of what you call it, putting God in a box is limiting the infinite and seems to just be an excuse for people to gain power as they "Speak for God".
I love this ♥
Unfortunately my dad was a pastor and it just always seems like we can't have a talk without him shoveling religion down my throat. I appreciate him and know that's just how he is, it gets tiring, but its alright. I still like to read the stories from the bible. Its intriguing and great writing
That's awesome! Good luck you two 👋
You sound conceded...you the find the bible fascinating? Yet your not committed to true faith or religion. This guy isn't explaining the bible lol try some humility,and step out of the flesh,and try and actually open the bible and read more than a page. I'm sorry,this just makes no sense at all.
I love how Jesus at the beginning of this entire conversation was like "I don't care what you offer, I don't accept gifts given with ulterior motives" and Satan is 17 offers in like "Okay, but what about 300 freshly made Whopper sandwiches?"
I'm glad it was Jesus being tempted, if it was me you'd all be doomed.

I love how Jesus never really gets mad at Lucifer despite how hard he tries to corrupt him, Jesus just turns down every offer as politely as he would an offer of money or food from any other person, especially with how mad Lucifer gets toward the end, even then Jesus is still calm and collected cause he sees right through Lucifer’s bs
Exactly. The Lord just doesn't care to acknowledge these blatant lies or delusions Lucifer offers.
When he cries during his video on Paradise Lost...it really moved me. Glad to see a mainstream RUclipsr giving these topics a serious and unapologetic look and discussion. Wendigoon ftw

So digestible and clear... he's the best I've ever seen do it
There are 2 sides to the Goon: The first, showing the beauty and triumphs of humanity; the other, showing the sheer, unadulterated horrors of the same breed. It's almost mind-boggling, yet incredibly magnificent. Keep this shit up, even if it isnt "popular" relatively. You're a brilliant storyteller.
Which beauty and triumphs?
@@Flaschenteufel this video is about it😂. Even though you can debate the existence of Jesus, and can be completely atheist, its not hard to say that to be like this is admirable. And in life, for all the bad people there are, there are plenty of good ones, too. You just tend to only hear about the bad ones.
@@texo456 hum jeah guess you're right seeing that as kind of beauty and triumph. a nice way to see it tbh.

Something about the duality of man sir
Hearing the devil collectively lose his shit after realizing he lost was so satisfying.
He hasn't Rage Quit that hard since Michael tossed him right outta Heaven XD
@@randomcenturion7264so that's how Cuphead got the idea of the Devil sometimes acting like a spoiled crybaby
Milton wrote him to be the perfect foil for Jesus in story.
i love Wendi's ability to add humor to his topics. The way Satan praises Jesus at 50:06 followed by 50:26 makes him sound like a used car salesman.
Used car salesmen are literally satan incarnates
As a Catholic, even though this is a Protestant story, the way you described Jesus' humanity and divinity was beautiful and really helped me understand Him more. It's easy to say that Jesus had it easy because He literally is God, but I understand it more than ever. Your videos help me find my way in my faith. You are doing God's work. Thank you
>Jesus had it easy
What part of "he was born in the flesh" and "he was born a man" did you not understand?
Imagine you know you will be tortured and nailed to a cross, for your lifetime, and you still go on suffering hunger for the prophets before you - only to be sold out by the synagogue of Satan.
Would you call that easy?
Stop blaspheming, I'm a catholic too. Both you and me would give up far before Jesus would.
@@revisit8480that’s what they said? “It’s easy to say...” not just, “he has it easy”
@@revisit8480 Are you braindead or do you simply lack reading comprehension skills?
@@revisit8480 this is why there are people who won’t touch Christianity with a 10 foot pole. This right here.
I grew up Roman Catholic, and while I still believe in Jesus and God - I wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself a Catholic anymore, as the church has strayed far too much away from the Word of God and the teachings of the Bible for me to associate myself with, and tie my name to them. But while I may not believe in all of their teachings and practices anymore, I know what they taught me in my youth, and I am confused nowadays because I was taught that Jesus was the *SON* of God - not God, Himself - by the Catholic church.
My CCD (catechism) classes taught me as such, as did my church's priest, and my mother who learned the same in Catholic school back in the '60s and '70s. I'm in my late 20s, and it's only been recently that I've seen Catholics describing Jesus literally as God - and it doesn't make sense to me as I specifically remember that Jesus prayed to God before the crucifixion, told his followers not to worship him and to instead worship God, that only God - not Jesus - knows the specific date and time the world will end, etc. And if Jesus is literally God, then why would the devil believe he can manipulate Him when he is as Jesus? Why would he offer Him the world, when God already had it? Plus, if Jesus is God, then that means man is able to kill God - and it means that the Jews and the Romans literally killed God - amongst many other problems and contradictions. It doesn't make sense to me that people claim Jesus is God, and I never thought this was a Catholic belief.
I understand the Trinity is a Catholic belief, but as it's not in the Bible, I don't subscribe to it - but I get it - although I don't think that the Trinity literally equates Jesus to being God and instead just describes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (the spirit of God). If they were all the same thing, you wouldn't have to descibe each of them - you could just refer to one of them and the three parts would be a given. And if the Trinity were a real thing that somehow made it so God is literally Jesus, I strongly believe that Jesus would have told us this. He didn't. I do realize that as a human, I can never understand God fully - but I believe that if God wanted to be worshipped as such, he would have told us so directly, either through Jesus or one of His earlier prophets. But as I said, I'm just a human and can be wrong...
...So tell me Catholics, were you taught that Jesus IS God instead of was the son of God? If so, why do you believe this? Were any other Catholics taught what I was? I'm pretty intrigued by this revelation, as I've only heard of it recently and I'd like to know why and where this is all coming from as of late.
Thanks for reading. Have a blessed day! 🌻
I think the saddest part of Lucifer's whole character is that his pride (which is his entire being) is the thing that stops him from understanding anything that Jesus says. He's so convinced that he's right, that he's blinded by alternate arguments. And then - I feel - that the reason he falls at Jesus' final rebuke is because he loses his grip on his pride even if it's for just a second.
You can say the same thing about Jesus, being so naive that he fails to understand what his followers and foes actually want.
@@edo-san Sometimes it's better to think before you speak.
@@laughy38247357075834 So the inquisition doesn't like my little premise. Should I be executed? Big E won't like that.
@@edo-san I don't wish to be dismissive, but I'm not sure this comment makes sense, in terms of the poem we're talking about. Jesus gives Lucifer many opportunities to provide him with a good argument. He considers them, and only as each temptation is offered does becomes less and less tolerant.
@@sweetistweeter I'm talking about Jesus by himself not him with Lucifer though I completely understand what your saying.
I just want to say how grateful I am for all of your religious videos. I was raised in a mega church founded by Kenneth Copeland (yes, the blowing Covid-19 away guy lol) where they mainly focused on growing wealth and heavily on tithing. After leaving the church years ago & other life events happening, I grew resentment & anger in my heart over my relationship with God. At the time, I thought it could never be repaired. Since watching your more religious videos, I’ve grown to have a whole newfound appreciation & love for God & His messages. This new relationship I have with Him is one of my own and I feel proud to be able to hold on to that & never want to let that go again. Thank you so so much for creating such amazing videos that helped me heal my heart to open myself back up to Him.
Btw, I was sobbing at the end of Paradise Lost because of how tragically, beautiful you described Adam’s sacrifice to be with his beloved Eve.
I love to hear that a follower of Christ has found their way again. That's so awesome to hear man, I'm happy for you.
God has always had his arms open for you. You left due to pain but his arms remained open. On the day you return God will accept you as he loves you deeply.

Praise the Lord
Im in a very similar boat, funnily enough. My parents are both preachers who were taught firsthand by ken ham and kent hovind, and i was raised from birth to be a diehard pentecostal. However, during my own reading of the bible, and watching the "christlike" demeanor of preachers being nothing but a façade, i started to grow hatred and resentment for existence, the earth, everything. These videos, alongside reading/consuming other "christian fanfic", or man's attempt to empathize with the divine, have helped me come back around to God, and see the hope in everything once again. Wendi may think these videos are campy or cheesy, but i hope he sees how theyve helped folk like us
I love how the devil is like those infomercial guys like, "uh you can have fame, women, food, money AND THATS NOT ALL, by the simple cost of a sin you can ruuuule the world"
After getting married to Katherine Woodcock, Milton wrote his masterpiece, Paradise Lost. His wife died in childbirth and he soon started work on the sequel, Paradise Regained.

Ikr! I felt so bad when he said “I hope it’s not too boring” bc he’s always so compelling!
only issue i had is him talking about how dumb people are for viewing satan as the good guy for giving humanity intellect. his example of people thinking “the devil is an evil child murderer” is ironic because that basically describes god lol
@@WATCHPINSTRIPETV bro, imagine still trying to convert people into your religion when they don't want to? It's 2023 just let us do our own thing and you do yours. If your God is so fair then he'll let us in his pearly white gates by simply being a good person.
@@PeacePills. You seem to be ignorant of the true story of Scripture. You are creating a straw man's straw man. Satan did not give humanity intellect; he did not give humanity wisdom or knowledge; a fallen angel procreated with Eve, via Eve 'eating of the forbidden fruit.' Adam took her and accepted this transgression against him, raising Cain, of whom was the seed of the Fallen One, and not of his own seed, thus him sharing the forbidden fruit (Even convinced him not to throw her out and to partake in such things, so he did, thus spawning Abel).
Adam got Eve pregnant with Abel (later Seth), and that is the Adamic seed; the seed of 'the snake' (Serpent seed) will always been at enmity with the seed of Adam (the Adamic seed). Cain is the seed of the serpent; this is why 'nobility' claim to be 'blue bloods' and of a separate race to that of 'humanity as a whole.'
Rh- blood is a huge thing, with those having it being the true Adamic inheritors. The seed of Abraham is a specific subset of the Adamic race, of which YHWH's covenant is only with them (us). These is not 'j***,' as you might think, for they make up less than 5% of the inheritance.
Lastly, the flood was not 'global,' and the Bible never says the flood was 'global;' it only makes mention that it covered the earth, and 'earth' translates to 'land.' SO, the Bible states that there was a flood that covered the land. This was a regional flood, which is how the seed of Cain was able to survive. The bible talks about seeds a lot, and this is physical descendants and offspring of people.
A very, very recent phenomena is to push the notion that 'seed' means 'spiritual seed,' which is in total contradiction to Scripture. To even think in this way is to call YHWH a liar, which is hilarious for those that claim to be 'Christians.'
@@alexjustalexyt1144 There are no 'pearly gates.' The Bible makes no mention of people going to heaven when they die. It also makes no mention of anyone going to hell; the 'lake of fire' is not 'hell,' and those cast in the lake of fire receive the 'second death,' which is literally the death that atheists believe in (total non-existence).
Modern Christianity is honestly a complete joke, not even understanding their own 'religion.' Modern Christianity is a creation of Jesuits and Rockefeller funded seminary schools disseminating a religious worldview meant to cause its 'sheep' to sleep and never awaken to the Truth.
The Bible predicted this, in that the churches would all be false churches, its leaders false leaders, and its followers 'sheep easily lead astray,' being massively ignorant of the truth via their own laziness.
To put it bluntly, the modern 'Christian' actually worships Lucifer without realizing it.
Love the fact that one of Jesus's rebuttals is "my dad will literally solo you"😂

-Wendigoon, shortly after laying out the most enthralling and captivating breakdown of the divinity of Jesus Christ ever spoken
Wendigoon really helped me find my path in my faith. I have accepted Christ into my heart after so many miracles and I partly attribute my path with Christ to him. I just found a great church and am looking forward to be baptized! I am just so full of joy. I wish people could understand this feeling. Thanks, Isaiah.
Amin brother may he keep your faith strong
Amen. I pray God bless you and your family friend
i’ve been lost for a long time i think this video as shown me a way home
Praise God!
UPDATE!: I was surprised to see so many likes and comments- thank you brothers and sisters that have faith with me in the one true God! I wanted to be sure you all knew I FINALLY have my baptism scheduled for 9:30am MST on September 9th, right before my birthday on the 10th, which is a Sunday this year. I’m so excited, everyone! Talked with my pastor of course. It’s so exciting. The only thing I always worry about is me crying and looking weak (I want to represent Christ well and not look weak!) as I want to be a warrior in Christ. If anyone has advice for that I’m all ears hahaha
Just wanted to say, thanks for all the support. I could’ve taken baptism slots the next day when I posted my comment, but really wanted this to have significance and to have something to look forward too. I just imagine the holy dove and maybe Jesus and my deceased mom say, “you did good”.
Thanks again, @wendigoon. Changing people’s lives.
As someone who gave up both alcohol and smoking for lint and struggling with the temptation, it was nice to get this reading from you about the story of my savior. Thank you

Alcohol is probably the most dangerous drug, and I find it terrifying people don't really know that or don't comprehend the risk. I support you and hope you keep away from that stuff in the future.
The Bible lore category of literature is such an interesting subject. Thanks for doing it justice, Wendi.
I wish modern stories could make literature like this without it being done through an analogy or be made by people who never read/don't care about the Bible. These stories are so good but i haven't seen a good one made past 1960
@@douglassmalls6934 any good recommendations?
I know people say it all the time, but I've somewhat felt a rekindling of faith through wendigoon's videos on these adaptive works from the scripture. There have been little inklings here and there over the years, but it wasn't until his paradise lost video that I really felt something and started even going to church again on occasion. This one was indeed pretty powerful, even secondhand through his abridgement. That "or was" I felt too was massively powerful. I've been away for a long time, and a lot of that time simply because I felt myself so beneath it and undeserving for having been the way I was, but that's kind of the point isn't it?

BIBLE ERRORS AND CONTRADICTIONS
The Bible is not historically accurate⬇️⬇️⬇️
Contradiction #1 Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel? (a) God did (2 Samuel 24:1) (b) Satan did (1 Chronicles 21:1).
Contradiction #2 In that count how many fighting men were found in Israel? (a) Eight hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9). (b) One million, one hundred thousand (1 Chronicles 21:5).
Contradiction #3 How many fighting men were found in Judah? (a) Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9). (b) Four hundred and seventy thousand (1 Chronicles 21:5).
Contradiction #4 God sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine? (a) Seven (2 Samuel 24:13). (b) Three (1 Chronicles 21:12).
Contradiction #5 How old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem? (a) Twenty-two (2 Kings 8:26 ). (b) Forty-two (2 Chronicles 22:2).
Contradiction #6 How old was Jehoiachin when he became king of Jerusalem? (a) Eighteen (2 Kings 24:8). (b) Eight (2 Chronicles 36:9).
THESE ARE 6 OF MANY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE. The Bible is not the word of God it has been corrupted and changed. If the Bible was the Actual Book of God it wouldn't have any mistakes. Also its not historically reliable.
huh
Yes, explaining how it's totes logical, and not an incoherent , nonsensical contradiction (and 100% extra-biblical assumption) to claim Jesus as "fully god, yet fully man", is COMPLETELY "objective" and factual...
...And it DEFINITELY isn't just the Christian variant of the exact same goofball, evidence-free "spiritual" jibberish we get from Islam, Mormonism, Hindus, Scientology, Raeliens, or the stoner down the street after the "sacrament" of way too much kratom and solvent-huffing... (which probly closely resembles how ALL these religions started, in the first place.)

As a Christian who doesn't trust the word written by fallen men in the bible, who questions everything and studies Buddhist teachings, thank you for being, brother.

@scotty Toohotty OK, bud
@@AdrianoTheOne Anything from you, rather than your ego? Bud? You know something I don't, right? 😉
I appreciate that Milton's portrayal of the devil and his associates, particularly that they are forced to react and respond to events that are happening in the world. Too often it's easy to think that the devil is omnipresent and omniscient in a sense, that he can read people's minds, that he knows everything that will happen etc. While he is probably more perceptive than most any human, he is nowhere near the level of knowledge and wisdom that God has. I just like seeing that.
As a person that was forced into a religion by my mother. I still find jesus and his story very Interesting and I still go to church at times. This video would help me talk to my mom more about Jesus . Thank you for this video Wendigoon
i relate to this, too. it wasn't so much as i was forced to it, but in my culture, it is the norm to be roman-catholic. i do not know if i believe in God or not, and if it's because i grew up with that belief or because i came to the conclusion myself. either way, these videos are still very cool to watch, and they certainly do give good information to talk to others around you about!
It seems to me that church is basically at least 2 or more people discussing the word of God. So you speaking with ur friends or people only about the Bible, studying it and learning from it can be seen as church. In my opinion

Jesus was a real historical person according to scholars. He is also the highest example set by any human ever in history. You will see him one day and he will embrace you with a love you cannot imagine... or cast you into eternal darkness. Do not let others influence your decision about Christ, if you don't like that church find another one. God Bless. 🙏
Please never stop making videos with religious topics!!! When I signed up for my degree I was a bit annoyed that we needed to take theology every year, but thanks to you I'm enjoying it so much and it has honestly restored my faith and brought me closer to the bible. Thank you and congratulations!!! 💍❤
This. Can you do Tragedy of Man next pls?
The way Milton granted character, the thought process and personality towards Lucifer is truly amazing
Almost like he knows the guy
Never considered what the sound of Jesus' singing voice would be like until you describe what it must be like living alongside him. Thank you for such a beautiful sentiment, making the entire hour worth it, in your context.
Probably would be majestic.
I'm non-denominational and have read the entire bible. My father was a pastor. I got disillusioned with the whole "church scenery" and how those people acted. So full of gossip and what not. Still the strories from the bible are still intriguing and cool to listen to every now and then.
I am still attempting to read it.. thats cool, I feel the same way but even if there has been some gossip, the church here saved my life.
Yeshua Hamashiach is God in the flesh, the Son of God, the Word of God, and he died so that you may be presented blameless in the sight of the Father. And so you may inherit his kingdom. The LORD Yeshua Hamashiach is the only way to the Father and his kingdom. Repent of your sins accept him into your life as your LORD and Savior before it's too late, every day is not guaranteed.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
May God bless you.
@@blessed2338 Just woke up from a dream where Jesus pulled me away from men and demons trying to use me sexually and exploit me..he closed the doors they had opened in the past and the traumas and built me a fortress around me and my family, he told me he needed me to get to work and those doors would remian closed from now on and they wont win but he needs me to get to work, he showed me many little groups of people and when they prayed together they shown bright and nothing could touch them, he needed me to be one of them immediatly and not let my past control me or what men are trying to do to my earthly reputation. It was amazing, then i see this as my first comment of the day! THANKYOU! I love you and I love JESUS! YESHUA! So many blessings to you! Also it showed my sisters needed me and family to pray for them and go see them and to not give up.. he showed me that they are nothing, the evil men, compared to the love we share..and they know this, which is why they attack in jealosy. Blessings to you again :) What a dream! I prayed for a Jesus dream for so long again I had almost givin up, prayed last night for one, prayed this morning, then boom, 13 hr sleep and there it is lol. And this beautiful comment. He spoke through you here :) And my cat knew Jesus in the dream lol
That’s just people being people, it happens, and is not indicative of an entire religion, nor the concept of church.
I hope you continue appreciating God’s word for what it is - God’s, not the church’s. We are to have a relationship with God first and foremost, and unfortunately, people (and churches) will disappoint us with worldly corruption. While I think it is important to have a relationship with brothers and sisters in Christ, that is not your faith. Bless you.
I'm not a christian. But the way you present your story telling or rants are very well done. None of it is boring. Your format is solid as I could imagine anybody could ever compete with. I'm compelled to watch all the way threw after the first few minutes.
Try read the bible one day, you won't regret. Godspeed.
@@jacktodd3439 No I have read the King James. I just feel it's a lot of moral stories and less of a real history.
Same here. Agnostic with zen buddhist leanings but disdain for religion. Yet I find myself listening these videos of Wendigoon. I appreciate his delivery that is simply educational but not preachy.
Can't stand preaching or converting. Appreciate history, philosophical aspects and culture and that's enough reason for me to listen to this man.
Exactly, its informative and entertaining instead of indoctrinating. Like, hes not telling us what to believe, just the story and what his personal thoughts are on it. I LOVE hearing about different belief systems and its hard to find viewpoints like his. I like to think Wendi tells the narrative like its supposed to be told, like Jesus/ deciles would have told it. Not a "YOU MUST OR DIE" But a, "Hey, lissten to this story and tell me what you think"
@JohnnyBme BINGO.
It’s so hilarious satan himself and the other demons hear Belial out and all they have to say is “dude, you have a p0rn addiction, stop it gets some help”
Also if the chosen adapts this story, I’m not sure if it’s gonna be comedic when satan gaslights gonna be epic and tense and similar to how players met Odin and Thor for the first time in GOW. Or both
They're basically like, "Dude, not after what happened last time" I thought that part was so funny
😂Bilial having a p0rn/lust addiction and even lucifer knows it's a problem
"Stopit, get some help"-Satan probaly.
why do you guys censor the word porn like your gonna get demonetized
look, i typed the word normally, oooooooh spoooooooky 🤡
I feel like the type of person who genuinely thinks when reading this "Satan kinda has a point" is someone who's extremely at risk of being exploited by con-men and charlatans. You might think of them as silly, but I feel really bad for them.
isnt Christianity itself full of con-men and charlatans though
Maybe it's your story telling but just imaging the Devil being a dork and coming back to a very annoyed sassy Christ is just funny to me.
There should be a musical play based on this. XD
Wendigoon talking about biblical stories is always top tier content
it's absurd to me how a man in the 1600s writing these two stories, and you explaning them now, have strengthened my faith and ideas more than going to church or reading the Bible have. your videos are fantastic man! :D
Same brother, I’m glad to hear you’re on a better path that hopefully you’re happier with :) I know I am
God doesn’t always use preachers and priests to share his messages! Sometimes it can be from a RUclipsr. No matter where you get your message, as long as it’s received!
Lmfao right
Milton had it together. I just read his tract On Education, and it is EXACTLY what we need for our youth, and the divide between that and what we have today is vast.
I totally agree. I don’t practice any of the Judeo-Christian religions but seeing others faith become stronger always strengthens my faith in my own practice. I just love seeing people get closer to their spirituality, no matter how they do so.
I’ve just spent the last two days Binging the biblical fanfiction videos and I must say, as a Christian who has been in a rut in my faith, these have completely rekindled my drive to spend time in the Bible and with God. I’m incredibly thankful to these weird videos explaining odd interpretations of biblical media, and I can’t wait for more. Thank you
Hate to sound like a broken record, but have you ever heard of the BibleProject? I know I say this to everybody, but it really is a great place to start. They go over every book of the Bible in short, easy-to-understand videos, only a few minutes at a time. I know it really helped me out. God bless! :)
same
Literally me
But your faith wasn't strong enough to read the bible yourself?
@@Kanggaxx I think the problem has more to do with time, energy, and understanding. For example, even the US Constitution is written above a college reading-level. Since the average person's reading-level is much lower than that, (at least in the States) it takes the average person significant time and effort to read the Constitution, if they can understand it at all. Shakespeare? Even worse. Now, imagine that, instead of a book written in Modern English a few hundred years ago, it was a book written in multiple ancient languages thousands of years ago. You can see how this might be a *tad* draining, especially if you have to juggle work and family on top of it.
Add in the fact that ANE writers had a high-context culture, where you're expected to understand most of the context before you even pick up the book? And that much of this context was lost until recent archaeology has rediscovered it in the past few decades? Then add on the high level of artistic flourish, and the sheer volume of the text? There's a reason that personal Bible reading was never the main priority for the laity. I mean, low literacy rates and the high cost of printing were certainly factors as well, but this was the main reason. Scripture was historically read primarily in the Liturgy, and still is to this day. Personal Bible reading is always encouraged, but group Bible studies and the Church calendar have absolutely primacy of place.
A common error I see among Atheists and Evangelicals is to act as if they're the first ones to read the Bible, and that whatever interpretation pops into their heads must obviously be the right one. Hate to break it to you, but even the world's leading Bible scholars have issues understanding everything, and I don't put much more faith in you. It really is that complex of a book. There's a reason why we scour Patristics and cite the Early Church Fathers. From the outset, there have been people who "read it for themselves" and end up remaking theology in their own image. Sabellianism, Arianism, Nestorianism... These all occurred because someone read a passage and immediately assumed they had the correct interpretation without consulting the rest of Scripture or the wisdom of the Church. (Papists, on the other hand, replace Scripture entirely, and would believe any absurdly blatant lie of an interpretation so long as it's endorsed by the Roman See, but that's another topic.)
So, maybe, instead of accusing those who are too busy, tired, or poorly educated to regularly read one of the most difficult books you can find on shelves today of lacking trust in our Lord, perhaps you should have enough humility to realize you probably aren't much of a Biblical scholar yourself. And, on the condition that you are, (which I have serious reason to doubt) it's only because you have been blessed with enough free time and intellectual rigour to devote countless hours to the topic. For the average layman, attending regular liturgical worship and differing to the opinions of professional theologians may not be ideal, but it's likely the best we can expect in this fallen world. God bless.

Wendi successfully explaining the Nicene vs Arian controversy and the churches accepted conclusion is not something I expected, but am not surprised at all. Absolutely crushed it in normal everyday language, which is insanely hard to do. Well done, wendi! Keep up the excellent teaching and story telling!

Everytime Wendigoon talks about anything Bible related it's a banger. Thank you for talking about these books, and discussing about it in a way that's accessible to both non-Christians and Christians.
Also I like the term "Biblical nerd", it's a nice term.
When he was talking about Jesus being perfect and dying for us so we can be imperfect but reconciled to God's love in the last video it was so personal ❤.... then Wendigoon went on a tangent about some guy who wrote a wacky wattpad fanfic about St. Paul and a random girl with Avenger-level superpowers that went viral in the 3rd century for all the wrong reasons when the dude tried to get it included in the Bible...so there's that😆
The term biblical nerd actually helped put things into perspective, when you think of a religious person you probably think of a very serious person, or at least I did. And then I realized, the Bible is a subject that one can nerd out about. So that definitely changed my perception from religious people being very serious to just regular people. If that makes sense
I agree
Wendigoon is like that cool youth pastor (because he is) that will vibe out at the end of church and be like “Jesus is way cool,” and I just really like that :)
"lol" said Christ, "lmao".
😂😂😂
I love these more religiously focused videos, especially with the insights that wendigoon gives to us.
🙏🔥
Same, even though I'm not a good Christian
I wasn't much of a religious person but listening to one of my favorite RUclipsrs talk about their faith in a way that conveys the message clearly, with passion, and doesn't present themselves as knowing it all as facts. You have helped restore my faith in God and I've been taking steps to come back into the light. I've been a fan for a long time since the start of the conspiracy theory iceberg, I wish I could thank you personally but this comment will have to do. Thank you and please continue to make amazing content religious or not I love it. 💚
Yoo big congrats on coming back to God, Jesus loves you my guy. I recommend listening to some Levi Lusko sermons on youtube too for extra Christian exploration, he's pretty relatable and a real cool guy! 💪💪💪
welcome back! God loves you and so do we!
wonderful wonderful!! wendi’s videos always make my spirit so happy and i think it really is the way he talks about Christianity. i hope your journey back home is warm and peaceful.
These are very sweet comments 😊
The most based witness moment
You know what makes me the most sad about the devil, he could probably ask God for forgiveness and get it but he's one stubborn idiot and won't.
I wouldnt be christian had it not been for wendigoon and im very thankful for him helping me find my faith. I dabbled in many religions and liked christianity but avoided it anyways. I was prideful and arrogant and pretended god wasnt real, and he was cruel and unjust. I misunderstood and instead of researching and trying to understand, i let myself be blinded by hatred. One day, curiosity got the best of me and i went down the wendi-bible rabbit hole and i learned so much and loved every second. That day, i found my love for god. I regret being so arrogant and stubborn and i apologize to god every day. I hope he can forgive me, i know he is a loving and forgiving god, but it took 20 years for me to quit being so stubborn. And the thing is, i knew lots of scripture and preached it to others who were using it to be douchebags essentially. I wasnt about to let that slide, youre not going to use christianity as a weapon. And then 10 seconds later i pretended to be mad at god even after defending him 😂 i wasnt that bright, huh?
Anyways, many many thanks to wendigoon for helping me find my faith and entertaining me with every video he posts. Quality content that is always worth the wait!
As a massive atheist I love all your videos on Christianity. I’ve rewatched your videos on the divine comedy multiple times and would probably never have read that or paradise lost if it wasn’t for them. The way you speak about religious topics makes them a lot more accessible for someone like me, who knew very little about Christianity and the bible going in, and have helped me understand believers of all faiths a lot better than I used to. Mad props to you

Unlike the original commenter, I did have a lot of prior knowledge of Christianity before watching Wendigoon’s videos and was Christian for a long time. I no longer am, but I still love to watch these videos.
I can't believe it took him less than a minute to explain the entirety of Paradise Regained... it took me over an hour to watch! (his clock never moved past 6:44) very impressive as always!

Truly impressive 👏
a new topic to talk about in the conspiracy theory iceberg
ive been staring at that clock and it didnt move 🤣🤣
Does it relate to John 6:44? I know nothing, but I googled and that seems to be an important passage?
24:15 Jesus:"Yeah, why do you think they need you?"
The most ultimate comeback.
I am not religious but there are alot of things about religion that I am curious about. I have never found someone who actually makes me excited to learn about Jesus 😂 Your videos are always so full of emotion, your excitement comes out in your story telling and keeps me captivated and I find myself thinking "wow an hour has gone by already?" When finnishing your videos about Christianity.
Have you read the Gospel of John?
@@sweatt4237 no I have not
@@akemi3517 If you are an avid reader it would probably only take you an hour and a half. I'm a slow reader:) We are all very opinionated and have strong feelings about the subject one way or another but you have an opportunity to find out for yourself who Jesus is. I pray you are able to read it, God Bless you. 🙏
A great place to start is the BibleProject. Their videos are only a few minutes long, and they cover every book of the Bible and most major motifs. The problem most readers have is connecting the narrative themes of Scripture. Unlike what you might have heard people say, the Bible was not intended to be overly simple or understood by anyone at a casual glance. Instead, like any work of art, its volumes were composed by particular people with a particular audience in mind, both being ancient Israelites. Naturally, this has frustrated many generations of readers over the millennia, but that's true of many works of art. Only when you have the full story does anything resembling Christianity start to make sense, and you begin to see yourself as part of God's story. Anyway, hope it helps. Take care! :)
The more you understand it the sooner you shall believe and rejoice, trust me
I’m an atheist, but I absolutely LOVE the religion based videos. Truthfully I can watch Wendigoon talk about anything, but these ones always fascinated me as I enjoy learning of the many stories and epics of various religions

Not only religion based videos, but videos made by people who have love for the religion, but are open to other points of view. Goon boy is awesome, and the main reason is that he isn't shoving it down your throat, or trying to convince you of anything. All he's doing is speaking about why he loves it, and what it means to him.
Could not agree more.
Boom! I love the lore, not the organization.
You know it’s a good day when Wendigoon uploads a video. It’s an even greater day when it’s Bible or biblical fanfiction related!

I was an English Lit Teacher.

Just beautiful work, and I'm inspired and brought to tears a few times with your work here. Surely our Lord is smiling in the effect you must be having on so many hearts. This is Godly and inspired in every way. Bless you. Congratulations on your engagement. You are blessed doubly because you understand how blessed you are.
shoutout to mark who recognizes that temptation is constant and always present, even in all of us, so he knew jesus was always gonna win and didn’t even need to talk much on it :)
30:40 I find the idea of Satan essentially telling Belial to stop being a coomer immensely funny.
I'm not a Christian but I love when Wendigoon gets to talk about it, he's so passionate about it you can tell and it's always really interesting to hear his takes.
Respect +
I'm an atheist but I'm all in for watching Wendigoon and his passion for what he believes. He has every right to believe it, and I'd fight to the death for his freedom to do so.
same here. Paradise Lost is the video I show EVERYONE. His passion reignites a spark in me I'd long forgotten about.
"oh hey J man, you passed the test, here's a lavish meal, just like the one you were tempted with before, but this time it's totally different we swear!"
I am like 95% atheistic personally because of my dad essentially disowning me and becoming very adverse towards me for being LGBTQ+, as such I made the mistake of combining my fathers personal rejection of who I am with the religion he partook in.
Looking back on it I was silly, but in such a charged, whole hearted rejection of what I deem to be an important part of who I am as a human I became blind to that fact.
While I still remain mostly atheistic I find myself praying in times of difficulty now’a’days, it’s comforting, even if my perception of god as a totally loving presence is not widely accepted by most churchgoers in that the more common perception is that some differences are “sinful” or “wrong” .
This is a long winded way of saying thank you to wendigoon for giving me a small insight into god without having to potentially immerse myself into a situation irl where bringing up my personal perception could potentially have adverse consequences. It means a lot :)
The Devil really did say, "I didn't get no sleep cause of y'all, y'all not gonna get no sleep cause of me!"
Also I choked up when you said, "Next to God, she's the best thing to ever happen to me." I was raised in a Christian leaning household and we didn't really practice anything besides holidays. But that sentiment is so powerful and exactly how I felt when my then fiance agreed to marry me. Congratulations to you both!! I hope you look back on your wedding and agree you wouldn't change a thing and have a truly wonderful marriage.
Its crazy to think this man alone has made me rethink my faith. What a legend.
@@appocalypsechild Yeah, 95% Christians I see or have talked to give me the impression that they've not even read the Bible, or if they have, they're terribly misinterperting it and cherry-picking.

What i really love about wendigoon's storytelling is that he adds pictures so that you can further imagine the scene of the story
Imma be real. This man has made me question so much about my life, so many things I've just looked over, he's helped me see the true wisdom in all of it. He's helped me find the glory of God, and for that, I am in his debt.
My grandmother was deeply religious, and I have fond memories of going to church with her every Sunday, listening to her stories or seeing her praying every morning and evening.

Your videos on the subject really help to understand better what the bible means, without feeling judged guilt-tripped like some preachers would do. So, thank you and keep up the good work ! 🙏💙
Oh this is gonna sound weird, but dude, you have been a positive light in my life and have rekindled in me how to be a Christian without ever saying a word about faith but by how one Carries themselves, and you exude this in every video. Thank you.
I’m getting there too. I’m struggling in my faith currently and have been made fun of for being a Christian in the past, so seeing Wendigoon be so easily open about his faith and seeing how successful and well-liked he is amongst both Christians and non-Christians is pretty cool to say the least.
It's not weird my friend, it's just how it is :)
@@zogwort1522 this is interesting. A lack of abuse in your life… odd way to say it but I agree 100 percent. When I was young I went to youth group with a friend and skateboard and stuff. I did well. Then studied science in college and had very liberal professors who hated god and truly pushed that on us and the company I worked for were all scientists and obviously most do not believe. So it was hammered in and of course at 21 I knew all the answers in life and become that smart 8th grader who has figured out that miracles are pretty out there and I know the truth of the world. Then of course alcoholism came in full swing that brought crippling depression and anxiety, and through many years of agonizing pain both mentally and physically I fell to my knees and accepted God back into my life.
I mean it didn’t stop me from drinking and I still deal with it and other things, but it’s a hell of a lot better than carrying my cross in life alone I’ll tell you that. I would have never came back to God if I could have dealt with it on my own. I would have on my death bed I know I’m not brave enough to walk into death alone though.
Faith is and odd thing. How we get there is pretty normal, through pain usually. It’s sort of amusing the more we know and especially recently with major leaps in science the evidence is becoming so staggering staunch atheists are even admitting ok… there is something. Life is a trip.
@@zogwort1522 Hitchens vs. Lennox. I understand your stance now. Sounds like you are deep into it. This unanswerable question that always leads to nihilism it seems. I hope you find whatever it is that will ground you in this life. Or maybe you just knowing what you know is enough. Seems to be for most people. It just didn’t work for me. I’m not good at many things in life but I am pretty good at reading people. Having been on both sides of the aisle, even if this side is a little diluted, people are mostly happy and are grounded I’ve found. You can spot the difference in people very quickly and accurately as well. Although my beliefs may waver from others a bit in this religion, I just keep it to myself. Like most. I dunno what I’m really even trying to say here. I guess there are no easy answers in life. It’s called faith for a reason. I wish I could have been born into a strict household in Saudi Arabia lol. It would have fixed a lot of things for me. Oh well, so be it.

Most of the time Bible stories are told in the most boring way possible, compared to Greek or Norse stories, that's the problem.
@@twinzzlers That and a lot of bible stories are told as “If you do what this person did, you will go to hell.” They arent as fun and whimsical as greek or norse stories because they have been used to shame and discriminate people for thousands of years.
@@miyumixxx which is why people who discriminate aren't any better than any other sinner in the eyes of God
@@miyumixxx It's something I've struggled with a ton in my own journey towards God. So many people teach how God is all merciful and loving in one hand, then turn around a second later and proclaim how God will condemn His creations to eternal torment in the other. Based on what I've seen, there are lots of religions out there that teach everyone who isn't a part of their faith is going to hell, this is an incredibly depressing and troubling thought to me.
It's why I'm LDS/Mormon, our faith doesn't take the, everyone else goes to hell approach. Rather, our leaders have actually stated that there will be more people in heaven who aren't a part of our religion than those who are a part of it. We believe it's not about what religion you're a part of, it's how you live your life and treat people. People will even have the opportunity to accept Christ after death in our religion.

I struggled with it a lot too in my journey of faith. I grew up in a christian household, fell in love with science and automatically assumed I had to he an atheist, but eventually have gotten to where I am now as an agnostic theist. It is like the goldilocks story, but with religion instead of beds, chairs, and porridge for me.
Honestly, after all the conflicting stories I started to wonder if everyone was just wrong. That maybe “god” isn’t really “God”, maybe they are someone else, maybe they don’t like being named, maybe they don’t interact with the world or maybe they do. I figured, none of us know, and I’m happier not making assumptions and that as long as I make good moral decisions, whomever might be up there will be content with that. I mean, I’m really just hoping that whoever is running this circus of a universe is not a dictator with very specific rules like the super religious christians like to claim lol
I honestly never knew that mormons had differing beliefs than those of typical Christians, which is genuinely super interesting. Probably mostly because all you ever hear about them are that they are a “cult” and that they are “nut jobs”. Personally, I literally don’t care as long as everyone minds their business and is happy with their faith or lack thereof :)
Love your Christianity related content. Your faith and love for the subject are always clearly visible. It's nice to see. You're not the only one who gets a bit choked up when considering Christ's divinity, humanity, and ultimate sacrifice. Great video as usual, bud. Congratulations on your engagement, BTW! Our lil Wendigoon is gonna be the big Wendigroom! God bless ya both, have tons of kids!
16:50 I always like the story of jesus in the temple because it illustrates how anger is not an evil emotion in isolation. Jesus was filled with righteous fury because there was a great injustice being done. I feel like this would have been a sticking point for some religious leaders that Jesus definitely got very mad and violent if the circumstances warranted it.
13:26 Sorry father, for I've laughed
🔥
I do really find it kind of hard to not feel bad for Satan in some way. Not in a “he’s the victim” kind of way, but more of a “it’s entirely his fault he’s in this situation and he deserves it, but I feel bad that he can’t understand that.”
He’s a completely self destructive character that already had it all and wanted more.
Obviously the ship has sailed but I do wonder if even after his fall from grace if any form of redemption, even a small one, was ever possible for him, but he was simply incapable of it.
He's just the prime example that redemption is always possible but it requires for one to actually desire it. It doesn't just happen. God's love is massive and for everyone but if people reject that it's not on God.
exactly! I had the same thought but didn't know how to explain it.but u did it perfectly
i like takes like this because people a part of the religion are so scared of saying anything that might sound like they’re defending the devil because of the way people will look at them but as a human i think it’s our job to use empathy and ask questions
He understands he just doesn't care. Hence why he devoted the rest of his life to make yours hell.
he sounds so happy talking about his fiancé its really heartwarming
@@user-fde7kp9cmq2uomg wendigoo
fr congrats Mr. & Mrs. Wendigoon!!
Beautiful ending with funny end credit scene, absolute masterpiece banger of a video. Been watching for a year now at the behest of a friend and I just gotta say, your channel is the best thing I've ever tuned into on RUclips and the way you make videos like these seems so personal and genuine it's perfect!
"Also it is written, 'Tempt not the Lord thy God.'" He said, and stood. That line goes hard
Why shouldn't we tempt God?
After all, if he's so mighty, surely a simple soul questioning his authority isn't that severe. It's like a kid asking their parent a question; it's harmless and merely curious. I don't see why God chooses to be uptight and offended when a human questions him.
It's just curiosity.
@@69Satan69 ok satan
@@69Satan69Because it comes from a place of unfaithfulness. God never gets angry because we can strike at him. Nothing can hurt God, but He does have an investment in the us, and it is the lack of faith or love for Him that would spawn a person to tempt God that he hates. "Tempt" is not the same thing as "ask." A parent would be angry if they realized their child was trying to manipulate them to get what they wanted, especially something that they know is wrong. What God knows is wrong is objectively so, so it applies doubly. Even though the parent doesn't fall for it, they're still angry at the child for the badness in their hearts.
As a kid I kinda denounced my Christianity because it was just forced on me and because my church was very disrespectful about other beliefs, but the way you portrayed Jesus at the beginning really changed my view and peaked my interest. Put the whole Bible in a different perspective; to see Jesus as an actual person. The church I went to always made him seem like he was always just God's will and not his own person.
You should watch The Chosen. It's a TV series about the life of Jesus. Highly recommend.
There's a difference between a (mordern) Christian and a follower of Jesus' teachings, you dont have to label a belief or appreciation for the stories. Just food for thought:) always keep exploring and reading into more than what people read at you as a child. I'm not Christian btw for clarification lol
@Ben Ten On Ganja im sorry but...
what
Being disrespectful is wrong, but also we kinda do have to tell them they are wrong yk
Wendigoon *says this video is a continuation of another video but you don't have to watch the other one to understand this one*
Me immediately *see you in an hour and a half after I watch the other video*
Congratulations on your engagement, Wendigoon!
Lovely video as always. Keep up the good work!
52:49 Satan really went "NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE!" to Jesus lmao
Edit: Also , congrats on the announcement, it may be silly to some degree, but it gives me a certain level of catharsis to hear that someone as talented, grounded, and genuine as you is in a good place. The best of us deserve to want for nothing, I think, and I'm incredibly happy for you all!
Thank you for breaking down a number of interesting and often dense subjects that others may not otherwise explore on their own. It has inspired me to go down my own rabbit hole of search topics and self-enrichment, and undoubtedly countless others as well!
Visualizing this made me laugh harder than I should have hahaha
36:44 The image of Satan, in a bad rich guy disguise, leaning over Jesus’ shoulder as he’s looking at the giant buffet and basically saying, “and its kosher too!” is one of the funniest images I can conjure.
I love the idea that people take the devil's side in this story like he's the original incarnation of Patrick Bateman or Homelander sigma memes.
All this time I've been watching your content and was never subscribed!
Love your analysis of deep topics, from the icebergs, to Paradise Lost and now here. So glad to see your channel has exploded!
"Which will inevitably lead to me ranting about angels and demons..." Wendi, that's exactly why I'm here
words cannot explain the excitement I feel when wendigoon uploads theology content!
Same! I sort of consider him like a cool theologian my church lets come speak now and then who is always informative and a good time.
Love your videos!! Especially on books and writing like this! I’d love to see more, especially like the paradise series. Thank you so much Wendigoon & congrats on the proposal!! Bless you both and your soon to be union💗
Congratulations on the engagement brother! Love the content man. John Milton was a devout god loving man and I’m glad you cover his stories with simplicity so we (4th grade reading levels) (reference to paradise lost video haha) can understand Milton’s poems. Much love and god bless
