@@anetapetrov395What is identity? I can't distinguish attributes included in identity from just attributes. My understanding is that identity does not include any attributes, but that is not how others think about that.
I have extreme anxiety, and I also suffer from depression, BPD, complex PTSD, among other things (i have a psychologist and all of these are diagnosed) I have them as a light personality trait inevitably and I find mental health very fascinating but I do hate myself and wish I had a better mental state but it is improving. But none of it is truly my fault, I was thrown into a lot of bullying and went through literally everything in my parents divorce and was used by both my parents, given a false sense of security, etc. for my actions I didn't have a choice. But this has strengthened my faith to Christ and my study of theology as a Lutheran. I don't take the blame for the things that weren't my fault either and I believe some of you guys would need to go through some of the things I have to truly understand but I agree. I play a major part in making it a personality trait of mine but it's minor and no matter what it affects me and will inevitably create a sort of "personality trait". however no one should ever idolize their mental health issues, especially because it makes your health worse, most people that idolize their mental health issues have very minor if any actual problems with their mental health. perhaps they are misunderstood, but regardless, mental health problems should never be idolized. if you have any feedback to this, late me now as I'm always looking to further my knowledge on my faith and religion.

@@ChosenKing777No the issue is we are supposed to read the bible and bring its knowledge into our way of life. Liberals do the opposite and read irl issues into the bible, learning nothing.
There’s no successful lie that doesn’t have a bit of truth to it. That being said, that’s a bit of a silly notion. I’m not a progressive Christian whatsoever, but the reality is that the closer you are to the truth, the less you have to throw away to reach the truth. I get your point but you’re just wrong
I think a better version of what Flameguy is trying to say goes "Twisting the truth is far more dangerous than a blatant lie" if that is what he meant then it just was communicated poorly and you weren't in disagreement.@@comeintotheforest
Eh, if you accept Jesus as the saviour you are saved. It doesn’t matter how stupid or wrong you are. I’d prefer a “bad” Christian over an atheist or someone of another religion
Man I checked the page and the comments are outrageous. Some directly stated that Jesus never “died for our sins” and that that was a White Nationalistic Jesus. Beyond that some said to throw out the Bible and instead rely on meditation. Could not be any more heretical than that.
"Banning Abortion is Unbiblical" They quote the bible, then say the bible is not a biology textbook making their previous statement false by making their proof false in their own eyes.
Also banning Abortion is NOT unbiblical because in Pslam 139 King David say how God knits us together in our mothers womb (not direct quote he uses singular but its applicable to us) and how God is our creator even though our Mom and Dad through love making may have physically started the process its God that continues the process imo.
Why should the bible have any say in abortion thought you lot had separation of church and state. Whenever I feel bad about living in the uk I look at American Christians and then I realise how lucky I am.
@@Flixio-6 First off while yes technically the States have separation of Church and State its something that is a) badly enforced and b) wasnt actually promised in the US constitiom (forgive my spelling Im Canadian not American) but in private letters from Thomas Jefferson (not even President at this point) to local churches who feared persecution because they were Church of England which is why they then changed their church name to Anglican. Secondly considering as Christians we believe that God created life and abortion iis literally the destroying of a life (no matter if its cells fetus etc that person is going to be a human not an animal) so this is why IMO the church should have something to say about the issue of abortion.
@@Flixio-6 Why would the separation of church and state mean that Christians cannot vote their conscience informed by their religious beliefs, whatever those may be? How would you even begin to enforce that in any way, shape, or form? You clearly do not understand what separation of church and state means.
I hope stabbing some is also unbiblical. Man Fatally Stabbed in Confrontation as He Danced at a Gas Station O’Shae Sibley, 28, was vogueing when men attacked him with gay slurs and told him to stop. A hate crimes task force is investigating.
I don’t think the meme about mental illness not being a sin is used to excuse actual sins. I like that meme and wholeheartedly agree. As someone with OCD, recognizing my intrusive thoughts were not sin was key to recovering from OCD and getting rid of those thoughts entirely. A lot of Christians suffer this way and need to know they aren’t sinning or faithless just due to things like intrusive thoughts, depression, or anxiety. Of course, we all still have to take ownership of our actually sinful actions!
i always feel so bad for being unmotivated and being so irritable, and think i’m super sinful, and i hate myself even more. so, i don’t know, obviously i’m still responsible but it’s more than just sin.
Yea redeemed Zoomer doesn’t take a nuanced approach to the mental health movement at all. Yes it can be used as an excuse to sin, but that’s not the driving force behind it in Christian circles. It’s a legitimate mode of suffering for a ton of people, and they need assurance that they are not sinning for suffering mentally and that God loves them and can take their brokenness and make it new. It’s not as simple as “just try to overcome your symptoms” because it’s being ignorant on what the sickness is actually like.
Yeah, it's a more nuanced issue. But I think the part he mentioned IS an issue in the mental health community/industry. There are many people who need ACTUAL HELP, but a lot of people have just been excusing their immaturity or unwillingness to grow and work through those struggles because of "their debilitating anxiety" or something. Not everyone is like that, but it's a flaw in the system. That's why I don't like these really big blanket statement posts. There's some truth, some lie. We view things so harshly now, and I think in a lot of areas there can be a blend. We need to ultimately go to God as the authority on how we view issues, and we need to view issues in a manner that is obedient and shows a Christlike attitude of love and maturity.
Polls done in different Latin countries have shown Latin peoples preferred being called Americans more so then any other ethnic name for their people. Depending on the poll it varies between Latino being first and American being second to American being first and Hispanic being second and so on. American consistently got within the top three in all polls with Latinx always ranking the lowest no matter what.
Agreed! X isn't even a Vowel... it doesn't even fit with Spanish grammar either. The people who use the word "Latinx" must have took inspiration from SpaceX or Twitter/X. 💀
I heavily appreciate how much you respect other Christian groups. You do a very good job at pointing out the parts of each sect of Christianity that you recognize the merit in.
I say: "Humans and English people are like rectangles and squares; all English people are humans but not all humans are English people" By your logic I just said that English people *are* squares and they should take offense to that i get this comment isnt meant to be taken seriously but still you cant just ignore the idea of metaphors
Also the MOST FAMOUS HYMN Amazing Grace WAS WRITTEN BY A CAPTAIN OF A SLAVE SHIP WHO LATER GOT SAVED AND RENOUNCED IT which is why he writes "Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wrench like. Once was lost now Im found Once was Blind but now I see." Ironically later in life the writer of Amazing Grace he actually became physically blind and said how he noticed just how blind he really was.
When he shows up for the last time in the movie Amazing Grace, John tells William Wilberforce that after all that God had let him see throughout his long life, God had decided he had seen enough and took his sight to prepare him for his journey to heaven.

@@Bubby79 This is not even remotely an accurate representation of Christian ethics and hamartiology. You presuppose 1. An extreme version of total depravity which even many Calvinists would reject. 2. That hell is literal fire and torture. 3. That Christian ethics is deontological -- NB it is not.
@@Bubby79 what you just said is not even close to the Gospel message the Gospel message is that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God came down to earth and died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day. And he gave to use a promise that anyone who believes in him shall be saved.
15:20 I giggled, but they want you to pronounce it "Latin Ex" It's basically them attempting to de-genderize language, but end up trampling...y'know, language, and the people who use the language. The word Latino refers to people of either gender when used in a certain context, in the same way "man" can refer to people of either gender.
"Latinx" is just an accidental slur at this point. As a Brazilian I'd rather be called a monkey or some other slur than a "Latinx", and most other Latinos agree.
The problem with so many of these posts is found in the responses. “I think what they’re trying to say…” Soft, fluffy, non-specific language is useful in that it sounds nice and you can make it mean whatever you want it to mean.
@@Arpitan_Carpenter well we all do, but man they want God to accept, but not accept God. They're changing God as opposed to asking "in their words" the rainbow 🌈 spirit to change them. They don't wanna be changed. Like I love women. Love everything about em, except they can easily be mislead. But I know I can't go around banging chicks just cause I want to. My lord commands me to be faithful to my wife. So therefore I have to change. In their view God is a granter of wishes, and is changeable to their own values.
I don't think that's biblical. The Corinthians verse that says "God is not a God of confusion, but of peace" is in context about worship services. But that certainly doesn't mean you can blame Satan for all confusion, especially given that God authored Satan. Remember the tower of babel? Or being forced to wander in the desert for 40 years? Or the fact that confusion exists in the first place? Seems like He authored plenty of confusion.
@@rorke6092 Well confusion is probably another cause from sin while directly not being sinful in its own right like boredom. And while yes he caused confusion for the people in The Tower of Babel by mixing up their languages yet they were trying to reach God and he saw that as sinful. Basically in any story that God cause "confusion" it is against sinners that are doing wrong and know what they are doing is evil.
Common Religious Symbols Judaism: A star that represents a based and wise line of kings. Their reigning descendant rules over the entire world. Christianity: A symbol of the ultimate act of sacrifice and humility. The only way to come to the Father. Atheism: An oversimplified model of the atom that scientists don't even use anymore. Represents science, a field of knowledge that was pioneered and perfected by Christians. Also, did you read Woke Jesus by Lucas Miles? He does a really good job of breaking down the bogus TheoLib "Historical" Jesus, whom they've robbed of all of his divinity.
The cross is a symbol of persecution of Jesus, and modern christianity seems to have not really moved on from that persecution and many conservative christians act like things they disagree with are acts of persecution
One of the worst "Progressive Christian" talking points not often talked about is: "Christianity is not a religion, its a relationship!" Just like that you throw out all the sacraments and all you have left is a buddy who doesn't fault you for anything and no responsibility to change yourself.
To be fair, the sacraments that matter are his, not man's traditions. He does want a relationship, you are welcomed into his family, may call upon him as Abba father and he will treat you as his children. That includes discipline to help us grow, as a loving father disciplines his children to help them. God isn't a distant figure checking we've observed the proper rituals and provides the correct sacrifices. He detested these things done without true intent to serve him. The holy spirit resides within us.
Most Evangelicals (even the Fundamentals) here in Germany would agree with „it‘s all about your personal relationship with Jesus“… (I would say that this is their „Christianity in a nutshell“)
The problem isn't calling Christianity a relationship, it's not knowing what a relationship is. If one of my friends was on fire, I would try to put the fire out. That is a true relationship.
Isaiah 5:20 - “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” It’s time to take action.
5:12 The reason I'm pro-gun is because historically, civilizations that outlawed weapons for civilians were very top-down oppressive, and that's very bad for Christianity 9/10 times.
Also, the amount of kids who die from gun violence isn't even comparable to the amount of abortions. (also, stop laying into Ghost. I think she gets it...)
also being anti gun just means that you want only the government to own guns. And after the last 5 years i dont think any reasonable person would want that
@@marvalice3455 Yes it is. They have become staunch naturalists and Darwinists (at least in principle, even if they don't fully believe in evolution, but more and more do). And anything not completely worldly is now being instantly condemned as "gnosticism".
As a Muslim, I agree completely. In fact, none of the three religions on that poster can be just summarized by the word "love." There all much too complex for that. Unfortunately, in his attempt to be inclusive, the person who made that sign completely missed even the simplest details of Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity.
I mean… they are at least temporarily. I was a part of a whole friend group of progressive Christians in college. Now years later all of them are either no longer Christian or they became more conservative in their beliefs. I think it’s more of a phase than it is a real religion.

As a simple high school science teacher, yes a child in the womb is not breathing as we do. But it still requires oxygen, just like we do, they transfer the oxygen through the blood, just as we do, and their cells still undergo respiration, just like we do. The only difference is that there is a slight change as to HOW they get the oxygen and nutrients. Still a human, still a child, still living.
It doesn’t matter if it’s technically alive or potential to save life. Pro choicers, at least in the US, are usually concerned with the legal precedent of the state respecting bodily autonomy. It’s already well established: The state can’t force you to use your body for something you don’t provide consent. Eg, Even if a drunk mother crashes her car and endangers her child, that state cannot force the mother to donate her blood -even if it will save her child. Even if you died, that state cannot use your organs to save potential life if you didn’t provide consent.
I am a conservative christian and i am involved with a lot of gay people. A lot of my friends are in the gay community. I really dislike that progressive christians are unable to separate loving the sinner vs accepting the sin. Like, it is ok to love the gay person, but why would you erase the scripture to say that the sin is ok?
@@St.Raptor Probably.... because gay people dont... ya know.... do the whole passing of genes... cuz..... they cant reproduce.... so I would wager a guess that almost anything is more likely to be genetic than homosexuality lmfao
@@St.Raptor Yes, ancient thing about humans and our pattern seeking brains. When we see a group doing bad things, we adapt to that, and change our view on it. You could make the same argument about racism. "Why are people racist towards black people in America?" To be answered by "Well they commit almost half the violent crimes!" Or, in the case of homosexuals, are 12x more likely to be child predators. You could make the argument that this is all genetic, due to the way humans adapt to perceived threats, but do you really think that the case?
Yes, there are many hadith and Quranic verse on war; but there also many about love and kindness towards your fellow man. What exactly is your point? I could make the same claim of the Bible with equal, if not perhaps superior, justice.
@@meanderingmangomanthe1stof611 mainly my point is that there are Quran verses and Hadiths that aren't exactly loving, or at least not the "progressive Christian" type of love. Maybe I'm wrong Abt the severity of some of the verses or Hadiths, but I can say at least that capital punishment contradicts the progressives idea of love. Again, I've just started looking into Islam so I'm not too familiar with it yet.
@@Young_Christian7 Well, in that case you're right on the money. I mean, I don't think there is a single pre-modern religion (a pre-modern anything for that matter) which would meet a progressive's warped definition of love. A genuine point of advice if you choose to look into hadith collections, though. Often, the harsh or "unflattering" hadith are cherry-picked; not always, mind you, but often. If you really want a taste of what any given collection has to offer, start by picking a book in a single collection, and then read through all the hadith in that one book. Then, take them in totality. Often, a single hadith can have multiple versions which clarify or qualify each other. A great example of this is adult breast-feeding in Sahih Muslim's Book of Suckling. Many Christian polemicists online love to mention that Islam allows adult breast-feeding based on one hadith, but then ignore the others that clarify it was a one-off instance and that the milk was delivered in a cup, not through direct suckling as many of them falsely allege.
@@meanderingmangomanthe1stof611 yep. In fact, I believe that their definition fits with hate. Think about it. They consider hateful to correct people, but the real hate is letting someone fall.
Your straightforward bluntness made me laugh out loud several times. Love that you said Jesus’s mission and teaching was not about inclusion, but rather redemption. Very well said!
Honestly, I’m not Christian nor Atheist and I don’t identify with any religion (although most of my family is Christian) but I honestly just love hearing you speak. I don’t think I could ever return to any Christian belief but I love hearing religious perspectives and I think that’s why your now my favorite youtuber to listen to. Its fascinating to watch your videos and I love them. Thanks for making these videos
Thank you! I respect you for being willing to listen to other perspectives and enjoy doing so. If you have any questions about Christianity, I'd love to try to answer or at least point you to some resources.
26:00 I really appreciate that the 4 top comments on this post were calling out this heresy rather than being super positive like the comments on the other posts we saw on this account beforehand Also, while I, as a Baptist, disagree with you on some issues (like the sacraments, rapture, and evolution) I just want to say: I'm grateful for this channel. With God's blessing, you seem to have reached many people our age, built a great community, and continue to make good content. Keep up the good work, brother
Agreed. Some things he said I disagree with, mainly the communion and rapture bits given what Paul writes about both, but overall I love watching his videos! Plus even if he is wrong about those details, or I’m wrong and he’s right, what matters about Christianity is still the same regardless, and that is that Jesus is Lord and he is the one who saves us. All the other things are details that aren’t important to salvation, but may have a place for understanding the times and the seasons or what communion is technically.
11:28 "Krishna is the original Christ hence Krishna literally meaning Christ". Atheist and pagans always try to argue that there is a pagan origin on Jesus Christ, but always are surface level similarities like the like sounded names.
@@BritishRepublicsnso everything you know about Norse mythology comes from Snorri Sturluson, who was born in 1179 AD and who was also a Christian. So Christianity was already an established religion, when the Proes Era was written down.
Honestly the comments were way worse than the posts. "I was listening to the radio and they said only born-again Christians go to heaven what a horrible thing to tell kids!"
It’s not about heaven! Yes, rejecting Christ will condemn an individual, and separate them from God. You want to know what to tell a kid? Tell them that even though life is hard, one day Christ is going to return and make it better. It’s humanity's fault for rebelling against God and ruining this world, but He is going to restore it. Being a born again Christian isn’t a ticket to heaven. Being a born again Christian is to be made new so that we can participate in God’s new kingdom here on earth. I’m not saying heaven isn’t biblical, I’m just saying it’s not the point of Christianity.
@@Polyhexgamingthe only value to being in heaven is in being with Christ. And being with Christ certainly is the point of Christianity. So while I think it gives the wrong impression to say that "getting to heaven is the point" I think it can also be wrong to say it isn't.
2:20 I agree that-and it is actually standard practice in the clinical world-one should never treat mental illness as an excuse for immorality or sin, but I do think it’s important to clarify that you cannot assume that the suffering that genuine mental illness inflicts is a punishment of sin. I don’t think the meme was aiming at that so I don’t really agree with it. But to separate mental illness from sin is very important, both for the prevention of using it as an excuse and of falling into hopelessness, since to call something unavoidable like suffering sin would be to call sin unavoidable-which though true when in bondage to sin nature is not true of those free from it. Most relevant example of a mental illness where this distinction is important is OCD, and particularly religious scrupulosity which falls under the umbrella of OCD, since the most important and first part of addressing the disorder is understanding that the unwanted thoughts are not reflections of one’s own beliefs, desires, or attitudes, but rather most often the opposite. Believing that the unwanted thoughts are sins is a fast way to despair to a dangerous extent. Like all ailments, mental illness might be used as an excuse for sin, which is bad, but in itself mental illness is not sin.
Progressive Christian: complains about Conservatives missing the point and believing Jesus was God Also Progressive Christians: quotes someone who beileved Jesus was God....
"Religion is one of the safest places to hide from God." I'm starting to doubt that this is even a Christian page.

"You're doing really well given your circumstances." "No you're not! You're dead in your trespasses and sins." My reaction to this was kind of comical. Thinking about my circumstances and how terribly I'm doing, the meme had me cringing. I know I can be doing better; I should be doing better, but somehow I cannot find any strength, willpower, or motivation. How long will I continue to dig cisterns that can't hold water in place of the well of Living Water? "Christ have mercy" is really all I can say.
Hi, don't fear it, if you work for it, even if a small thing like doing your bed or letting sunshine into your bedroom is already a huge step.

There's no such thing as someone equally progressive and christian, or even conservative and christian. If you're progressive or conservative, you're not christian. If you're christian, you're not progressive or conservative. You can believe in topics in similar fashion as either conservatives or progressives, but if you contradict Christ in the name of a political ideology, then check your beliefs cuz Jesus isn't really to you what He's supposed to be in your life.
Conservative Christianity, also known as conservative theology, theological conservatism, traditional Christianity, or biblical orthodoxy is a grouping of overlapping and denominationally diverse theological movements within Christianity that seeks to retain the orthodox and long-standing traditions and beliefs of Christianity, it is contrasted with Liberal Christianity and Progressive Christianity which are seen as heretical heterodoxies by theological conservatives. Conservative Christianity should not be mistaken as being synonymous with the political philosophy of conservatism nor the Christian right which is a political movement of Christians who support conservative political ideologies and policies within the realm of secular or non-sectarian politics. The two major subdivisions of Conservative Christianity within Protestantism are Evangelical Christianity and Christian Fundamentalism while the Confessing Movement, Confessionalism, and to an extent Neo-orthodoxy make up the remaining within Protestantism. Theological conservatism is also found in Roman Catholicism (excluding Catholic Modernism) and is also found within Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Church of the East;[26] and throughout all of Mainstream-Nicene Christianity in both Western Christian and Eastern Christian traditions, although not every community has had a direct connection with the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy. Evangelical leaders like Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council have called attention to the problem of equating the term Christian right with theological conservatism and Evangelicalism. Although evangelicals constitute the core constituency of the Christian right within the United States, not all evangelicals fit that political description. The problem of describing the Christian right which in most cases is conflated with theological conservatism in secular media, is further complicated by the fact that the label religious conservative or conservative Christian applies to other Christian denominational religious groups who are theologically, socially, and culturally conservative but do not have overtly political organizations associated with them, which are usually uninvolved, uninterested, apathetic, or indifferent towards politics. Tim Keller, an Evangelical theologian and Presbyterian Church in America pastor, shows that Conservative Christianity (theology) predates the Christian right (politics), and that being a theological conservative didn't necessitate being a political conservative, that some political progressive views around economics, helping the poor, the redistribution of wealth, and racial diversity are compatible with theologically conservative Christianity. Rod Dreher, a senior editor for The American Conservative, a secular conservative magazine, also argues the same differences, even claiming that a "traditional Christian" a theological conservative, can simultaneously be left on economics (economic progressive) and even a socialist at that while maintaining traditional Christian beliefs. ------ Not all of these people who claim they’re Christian or who are Conservatives in the Political Sense are actually Evangelical Christian or even Christian in general, a good chunk of these people only say they’re Christian because their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and ancestors were Christian. There are many people who are only Culturally Christian, Nominally Christian, or Diest who claim to be Christin for social or cultural reasons but in actuality are Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, Unitarian Universalist, Theologically Liberal (Liberal Christianity) and New Age Mystics, etc. Also, remember that the United States was NOT founded as a Christian nation, a good chunk of the Founding Fathers were Culturally Christian, Deist, theologically liberal, or sacrilegious heretics that syncretized Western Classical thought, American exceptionalism, extremist forms of nationalism and even in some cases White supremacy with Christianity creating a false religion called “American Civil Religion” that on the surface looks like Christianity but in reality is very shallow and just co-opts Judaeo-Christian (Christian and Jewish) terminology for state propaganda. Most of these people described have turned America or their respective countries into a deity instead of focusing on Jesus, some people are turning America and Patriotism into an idol syncretizing it with Christianity. The evils and idolatry of American Civil Religion and Western Classics Civil Religion is seeping into many vocal American churches, this ideology needs to be cast out and rebuked. - Well a certain faction of Americans who call themselves Christian or even Evangelical Christian believe in heresy. Plus when they surveyed a certain bunch of Political Conservative so-called “Evangelicals”, a majority of them knew next to nothing about the faith they claim to believe in, but actually are either atheists or theologically liberal Mainline Protestants LARPing as Evangelicals or politically conservative Mainline Protestants because the Republican Party told them they’re Evangelical or Christian in general because they hold mostly Politically Conservative (even specifically social conservative) views while in reality their Theology is mostly Liberal (unorthodox and heretical) / theologically liberal. Most of them usually just check the “Evangelical” and “Christian” boxes or call themselves that only for cultural reason, because their great-grandparents/several family members were Evangelical Christians or Christian in general at some point, or they’re practitioners of Civil Religion (Western Classics Civil Religion/American Civil Religion) who are co-opting Christianity, Evangelical Christianity at that, to push a political agenda or social movement (especially among Political Conservatives).

I'm so happy to finally hear someone who wants the patriotic hymns out of church. I go to a Baptist church, and yes I want God to work in America and bring us back to Him, but I HATE singing those songs IN CHURCH. Outside of church, whatever. You do you. (I don't care to get in political discussions anyway, but I feel that shouldn't touch our church service. It's already weird enough giving respect to those who fought for us when the service is supposed to put attention on God instead of man.)
Muslim here, yea, it's pretty offensive to imply that Mohamad was not a Muslim. In Islam, being a Muslim is not defined by following the Quran and what Mohamad preached, its defined by an absolute submission to God. It's why our biggest holiday celebrates Abraham placing his trust in God when God orders him to kill his son. To us, Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and all the other Prophets were Muslims because they submitted and placed their absolute trust in God. I have absolutely no idea why they would think any knowledgeable Muslim would accept that Mohamad wasn't a Muslim.
I've lived in the south my whole life. And every evangelical church I've attended has been very involved in helping the poor (both locally and abroad). I don't know where this idea that evangelical churches do not help the poor comes from.
The thing is Catholic and Mainl The thing is Catholic and Mainline Denominations/Churches are much more centralized and have much more old money-style multi-generational wealth while Evangelical denominations/churches are much more decentralized, grass-roots, and have amassed a lot less tangible wealth/real property barring a few mega-churches that gained larger audiences and membership due to emerging technologies like the television, internet, and mobile banking in recent decades. You can even see it in the term “Mainline Protestant,” where the etymology for “mainline” is linked to the affluent, historically “White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP)” old money-style areas of most towns/cities where the main trolly/train lines passed through in the same way that “Main Street” is always the affluent part of most small rural to mid sized suburban towns; while the Evangelical churches were in the houses, at revival camps, rural dirt roads, urban sides streets, in the inner-cities, and only recently in new money-style suburbs until Evangelicalism in the United States started to diversify socio-economically.
Alot of people also dont understand that if you lived a thousand plus years ago you did not know what people looked like who lived on other continents. So some people from Europe trying to depict Jesus would draw or paint a person that somewhat looks like them. They didn't have the diverse communities like today. EX Lots of Europeans didnt know what asian people looked like. Or the other way around just look up asian depictions of Jesus. But modern people assume malice from this.
Most depictions of Christ are based on traditions that go all the way back to the first century. Tbh, I have much more of a problem with femboy Jesus than I have with Korean Jesus.
You make an interesting comment at the 9:30 mark about how, in your experience, mainline churches do more to serve the poor than evangelical ones. In my experience, in the north of England, the evangelical non-denom church I'm part of, and the many others in our area, do a vast amount of work in this area. Our church has a weekly food pantry, hosts a weekly group for the elderly, and actively goes out to people in the area who are struggling. Does anyone else see this where you live?
It really depends on the place. Sometimes mainline churches do better in serving the poor, at others, non-denominational churches do better at serving the poor. Regardless, the Holy Spirit works through Christians, regardless of denomination.
Never once in years of therapy dealing with PTSD has anyone tried to tell me my sinful actions are not my fault. they explained to my broken childish psyche in a time of need that the evil I suffered as a child was not my fault, but now I have to take 100% accountability for my actions and work towards healing and transformation with my biblically based faith as moral compass and the primary source of strength. I am disappointed in the church and mental health services equally because they ultimately do not, or cannot show up in times of need. Most of what you are saying makes it easy to be the pharisee or levite that passes the dying man that the samaritan will help. He didn't have right doctrine or know the messiah or have an apostle's creed. We should try to see the truth in what the "progressive" churches are saying. I wanted to laugh, but I'm just disheartened in the lack of unity on the essential truth that Christ has done it all and we are saved by grace . Not right doctrine.
Most of the posts on those profiles are so much bullshit, that they don't even deserve any reaction. Still props to you for pulling through all that garbage.
10:25 As a (newly converted) Baha'i, meaning I believe in Buddha, Jesus, *and* Muhammad, this post is WILD. Of course Buddha was a Buddhist, Jesus a Christian, and Muhammad a Muslim, because presumably They believed the things They were teaching. The love thing is kind of true, I don't know much about Buddhism unfortunately but their point still stands. I get what whoever posted this was going for, but this is a terrible way to articulate it.
Was it not Jesus who said to take care of their physical needs before you even try to take care of their spiritual needs? Some churches, sadly, have forgotten about that.
That's not exactly what it says. Jesus basically said that they are entwined. Like if you take care of their spiritual needs without taking care of their physical needs, it is worthless. It's like if someone was hungry, you didn't give them food, but you told them about what God has done. It's hypocritical.
Christ and the Apostles did administer to physical needs before they preached. He may not have said it, but that was the modus operandi. Someone who is mainly concerned with their day to day, isn't going to be concerned about their soul.
First time commenter, long time watcher here. I semi-disagree with you disregarding “it’s possible to get an A in Bible and still flunk Christianity.” If someone dedicates their time to memorizing the words but not acting on them in real life then it is a waste of time. Read the Bible to understand its value and then implement those values in your life
Best as I can tell, the quote at 24:23 was not from C. S. Lewis. His views on love were far more complex and it doesn't even sound like something he would've said. There are so many fake Lewis quotes floating around I can almost always tell which ones are real or not.
“Multiple paths to God” God: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” It doesn’t say “ways” it says “way”.
It's depressive how they can't defend their ideas with love. It's all about attacks! This lack of love is sinful enough to say that they aren't Church. They, likewise the pharisees, are based on the customs and not in the Bible.

Sinners themselves condem themselves to hell by not following God.

Also the oppressed people Jesus talked to are NOT even slightly comparable to the modern progressive american idea of an 'opressed group' this post is def talking about, it's just disengenuous. >All the times Jesus critized religious people it was becasue they were sinning. Those two lines are the same thing. >Yea Jesus didn't endorse Church and State. He also didn't subvert the empire, wahtever that means, he just said it as is: The politics of men are not important in the face of God. Heck he LET himself be labelled a terrorist and executed, for crying out loud, how is that subverting the empire? >"Tell me you don't knwo what figurative sense is without telling me you don't know what figurative sense is". >...Since WHEN are half-siblings not part of traditional family? you do realiize not all half-silblings are borne out of cheating, right? >The "Holy War" Jesus endorses is against sin and evil itself, not people, as such it is not really violent by nature like humanities wars; also he literally whipped people so they'd stop desacrating the temple and told his followers to sell their cape to buy a sword, Jesus does NOT condemn fighting if it's the correct reason to fight, Jesus condemns you for sinning, which includes violence on most occasions, but self-defense and defending what's important is not violence by any reasaonble standarts. So yeah. Sorry to comment a wall on a month-old video but that image seirously infuriated me.
Very true, for the ethnicity it would depend on what people were there at around 5 B.C. Also I believe it was a mixed area due to traveling and had decent populations, and that place swapping hands between empires from time to time

@@anetapetrov395What is identity? I can't distinguish attributes included in identity from just attributes. My understanding is that identity does not include any attributes, but that is not how others think about that.
I have extreme anxiety, and I also suffer from depression, BPD, complex PTSD, among other things (i have a psychologist and all of these are diagnosed) I have them as a light personality trait inevitably and I find mental health very fascinating but I do hate myself and wish I had a better mental state but it is improving. But none of it is truly my fault, I was thrown into a lot of bullying and went through literally everything in my parents divorce and was used by both my parents, given a false sense of security, etc. for my actions I didn't have a choice. But this has strengthened my faith to Christ and my study of theology as a Lutheran. I don't take the blame for the things that weren't my fault either and I believe some of you guys would need to go through some of the things I have to truly understand but I agree. I play a major part in making it a personality trait of mine but it's minor and no matter what it affects me and will inevitably create a sort of "personality trait". however no one should ever idolize their mental health issues, especially because it makes your health worse, most people that idolize their mental health issues have very minor if any actual problems with their mental health. perhaps they are misunderstood, but regardless, mental health problems should never be idolized. if you have any feedback to this, late me now as I'm always looking to further my knowledge on my faith and religion.

And in the video, one comment claimed that the idea that only born again Christians can go to heaven was false.
"Banning Abortion is Unbiblical" They quote the bible, then say the bible is not a biology textbook making their previous statement false by making their proof false in their own eyes.
Also banning Abortion is NOT unbiblical because in Pslam 139 King David say how God knits us together in our mothers womb (not direct quote he uses singular but its applicable to us) and how God is our creator even though our Mom and Dad through love making may have physically started the process its God that continues the process imo.
Why should the bible have any say in abortion thought you lot had separation of church and state. Whenever I feel bad about living in the uk I look at American Christians and then I realise how lucky I am.
@@Flixio-6 First off while yes technically the States have separation of Church and State its something that is a) badly enforced and b) wasnt actually promised in the US constitiom (forgive my spelling Im Canadian not American) but in private letters from Thomas Jefferson (not even President at this point) to local churches who feared persecution because they were Church of England which is why they then changed their church name to Anglican. Secondly considering as Christians we believe that God created life and abortion iis literally the destroying of a life (no matter if its cells fetus etc that person is going to be a human not an animal) so this is why IMO the church should have something to say about the issue of abortion.
@@Flixio-6 Why would the separation of church and state mean that Christians cannot vote their conscience informed by their religious beliefs, whatever those may be? How would you even begin to enforce that in any way, shape, or form? You clearly do not understand what separation of church and state means.
I hope stabbing some is also unbiblical.

I don’t think the meme about mental illness not being a sin is used to excuse actual sins. I like that meme and wholeheartedly agree. As someone with OCD, recognizing my intrusive thoughts were not sin was key to recovering from OCD and getting rid of those thoughts entirely. A lot of Christians suffer this way and need to know they aren’t sinning or faithless just due to things like intrusive thoughts, depression, or anxiety. Of course, we all still have to take ownership of our actually sinful actions!
i always feel so bad for being unmotivated and being so irritable, and think i’m super sinful, and i hate myself even more. so, i don’t know, obviously i’m still responsible but it’s more than just sin.
Yea redeemed Zoomer doesn’t take a nuanced approach to the mental health movement at all. Yes it can be used as an excuse to sin, but that’s not the driving force behind it in Christian circles. It’s a legitimate mode of suffering for a ton of people, and they need assurance that they are not sinning for suffering mentally and that God loves them and can take their brokenness and make it new. It’s not as simple as “just try to overcome your symptoms” because it’s being ignorant on what the sickness is actually like.
I don’t think he’s ignoring mental illness. It’s more of a critique of the people that make a mental condition their entire personality.
Yeah, it's a more nuanced issue.
But I think the part he mentioned IS an issue in the mental health community/industry. There are many people who need ACTUAL HELP, but a lot of people have just been excusing their immaturity or unwillingness to grow and work through those struggles because of "their debilitating anxiety" or something.
Not everyone is like that, but it's a flaw in the system.
That's why I don't like these really big blanket statement posts. There's some truth, some lie. We view things so harshly now, and I think in a lot of areas there can be a blend. We need to ultimately go to God as the authority on how we view issues, and we need to view issues in a manner that is obedient and shows a Christlike attitude of love and maturity.
Romans 7:14-20 says otherwise, as much as I hate to admit
Latinx is such a silly word. as a Mexican myself I will never refer to myself as "latinx" lol
Polls done in different Latin countries have shown Latin peoples preferred being called Americans more so then any other ethnic name for their people.

American consistently got within the top three in all polls with Latinx always ranking the lowest no matter what.

Common Religious Symbols
Judaism: A star that represents a based and wise line of kings. Their reigning descendant rules over the entire world.
Christianity: A symbol of the ultimate act of sacrifice and humility. The only way to come to the Father.
Atheism: An oversimplified model of the atom that scientists don't even use anymore. Represents science, a field of knowledge that was pioneered and perfected by Christians.
Also, did you read Woke Jesus by Lucas Miles? He does a really good job of breaking down the bogus TheoLib "Historical" Jesus, whom they've robbed of all of his divinity.
The cross is a symbol of persecution of Jesus, and modern christianity seems to have not really moved on from that persecution and many conservative christians act like things they disagree with are acts of persecution
One of the worst "Progressive Christian" talking points not often talked about is: "Christianity is not a religion, its a relationship!" Just like that you throw out all the sacraments and all you have left is a buddy who doesn't fault you for anything and no responsibility to change yourself.
To be fair, the sacraments that matter are his, not man's traditions.
He does want a relationship, you are welcomed into his family, may call upon him as Abba father and he will treat you as his children.
That includes discipline to help us grow, as a loving father disciplines his children to help them.
God isn't a distant figure checking we've observed the proper rituals and provides the correct sacrifices. He detested these things done without true intent to serve him.

Most Evangelicals (even the Fundamentals) here in Germany would agree with „it‘s all about your personal relationship with Jesus“…

It doesn’t matter if it’s technically alive or potential to save life. Pro choicers, at least in the US, are usually concerned with the legal precedent of the state respecting bodily autonomy. It’s already well established: The state can’t force you to use your body for something you don’t provide consent. Eg, Even if a drunk mother crashes her car and endangers her child, that state cannot force the mother to donate her blood -even if it will save her child. Even if you died, that state cannot use your organs to save potential life if you didn’t provide consent.

You could make the same argument about racism. "Why are people racist towards black people in America?" To be answered by "Well they commit almost half the violent crimes!" Or, in the case of homosexuals, are 12x more likely to be child predators. You could make the argument that this is all genetic, due to the way humans adapt to perceived threats, but do you really think that the case?
9:57 as someone who is starting to look into Islam, whoever wrote that has never seen a Quran or Hadith collection in their life.
Yes, there are many hadith and Quranic verse on war; but there also many about love and kindness towards your fellow man. What exactly is your point? I could make the same claim of the Bible with equal, if not perhaps superior, justice.
@@meanderingmangomanthe1stof611 mainly my point is that there are Quran verses and Hadiths that aren't exactly loving, or at least not the "progressive Christian" type of love. Maybe I'm wrong Abt the severity of some of the verses or Hadiths, but I can say at least that capital punishment contradicts the progressives idea of love. Again, I've just started looking into Islam so I'm not too familiar with it yet.
@@Young_Christian7 Well, in that case you're right on the money. I mean, I don't think there is a single pre-modern religion (a pre-modern anything for that matter) which would meet a progressive's warped definition of love.
A genuine point of advice if you choose to look into hadith collections, though. Often, the harsh or "unflattering" hadith are cherry-picked; not always, mind you, but often. If you really want a taste of what any given collection has to offer, start by picking a book in a single collection, and then read through all the hadith in that one book. Then, take them in totality. Often, a single hadith can have multiple versions which clarify or qualify each other. A great example of this is adult breast-feeding in Sahih Muslim's Book of Suckling. Many Christian polemicists online love to mention that Islam allows adult breast-feeding based on one hadith, but then ignore the others that clarify it was a one-off instance and that the milk was delivered in a cup, not through direct suckling as many of them falsely allege.
@@meanderingmangomanthe1stof611 yep. In fact, I believe that their definition fits with hate. Think about it. They consider hateful to correct people, but the real hate is letting someone fall.

I really appreciate that the 4 top comments on this post were calling out this heresy rather than being super positive like the comments on the other posts we saw on this account beforehand
Also, while I, as a Baptist, disagree with you on some issues (like the sacraments, rapture, and evolution) I just want to say:
I'm grateful for this channel. With God's blessing, you seem to have reached many people our age, built a great community, and continue to make good content.

Agreed! It's rare for Gen Zers to be Christian these days, I wish there were more Gen Z Christians like us!
Agreed. Some things he said I disagree with, mainly the communion and rapture bits given what Paul writes about both, but overall I love watching his videos!
Plus even if he is wrong about those details, or I’m wrong and he’s right, what matters about Christianity is still the same regardless, and that is that Jesus is Lord and he is the one who saves us. All the other things are details that aren’t important to salvation, but may have a place for understanding the times and the seasons or what communion is technically.
I think evolution is cringe, but Baptists are undoubtedly wrong about the rapture and sacraments.
Fellow Christian Zoomer! It's so encouraging to see that I'm not the only one in my generation still pursuing God and the truth of His Word

Honestly the comments were way worse than the posts.
"I was listening to the radio and they said only born-again Christians go to heaven what a horrible thing to tell kids!"
It’s not about heaven! Yes, rejecting Christ will condemn an individual, and separate them from God. You want to know what to tell a kid? Tell them that even though life is hard, one day Christ is going to return and make it better. It’s humanity's fault for rebelling against God and ruining this world, but He is going to restore it.
Being a born again Christian isn’t a ticket to heaven. Being a born again Christian is to be made new so that we can participate in God’s new kingdom here on earth. I’m not saying heaven isn’t biblical, I’m just saying it’s not the point of Christianity.
@@Polyhexgaming true. The whole point of Christianity is to bring God glory. We experience that through salvation, but it's not the end goal
@@Polyhexgaming Heaven as our culture knows it (an actual place in the clouds) isn't real, and this world is a bad matrix.
@@OppressedPotato But that's the whole reason we give God glory
@@Polyhexgamingthe only value to being in heaven is in being with Christ. And being with Christ certainly is the point of Christianity.

I agree that-and it is actually standard practice in the clinical world-one should never treat mental illness as an excuse for immorality or sin, but I do think it’s important to clarify that you cannot assume that the suffering that genuine mental illness inflicts is a punishment of sin. I don’t think the meme was aiming at that so I don’t really agree with it. But to separate mental illness from sin is very important, both for the prevention of using it as an excuse and of falling into hopelessness, since to call something unavoidable like suffering sin would be to call sin unavoidable-which though true when in bondage to sin nature is not true of those free from it. Most relevant example of a mental illness where this distinction is important is OCD, and particularly religious scrupulosity which falls under the umbrella of OCD, since the most important and first part of addressing the disorder is understanding that the unwanted thoughts are not reflections of one’s own beliefs, desires, or attitudes, but rather most often the opposite. Believing that the unwanted thoughts are sins is a fast way to despair to a dangerous extent. Like all ailments, mental illness might be used as an excuse for sin, which is bad, but in itself mental illness is not sin.

That is everyone, even the best Christians. If anyone claims otherwise they are lying.
There's no such thing as someone equally progressive and christian, or even conservative and christian. If you're progressive or conservative, you're not christian. If you're christian, you're not progressive or conservative. You can believe in topics in similar fashion as either conservatives or progressives, but if you contradict Christ in the name of a political ideology, then check your beliefs cuz Jesus isn't really to you what He's supposed to be in your life.

Conservative Christianity, also known as conservative theology, theological conservatism, traditional Christianity, or biblical orthodoxy is a grouping of overlapping and denominationally diverse theological movements within Christianity that seeks to retain the orthodox and long-standing traditions and beliefs of Christianity, it is contrasted with Liberal Christianity and Progressive Christianity which are seen as heretical heterodoxies by theological conservatives. Conservative Christianity should not be mistaken as being synonymous with the political philosophy of conservatism nor the Christian right which is a political movement of Christians who support conservative political ideologies and policies within the realm of secular or non-sectarian politics. The two major subdivisions of Conservative Christianity within Protestantism are Evangelical Christianity and Christian Fundamentalism while the Confessing Movement, Confessionalism, and to an extent Neo-orthodoxy make up the remaining within Protestantism. Theological conservatism is also found in Roman Catholicism (excluding Catholic Modernism) and is also found within Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Church of the East;[26] and throughout all of Mainstream-Nicene Christianity in both Western Christian and Eastern Christian traditions, although not every community has had a direct connection with the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy.
Evangelical leaders like Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council have called attention to the problem of equating the term Christian right with theological conservatism and Evangelicalism. Although evangelicals constitute the core constituency of the Christian right within the United States, not all evangelicals fit that political description. The problem of describing the Christian right which in most cases is conflated with theological conservatism in secular media, is further complicated by the fact that the label religious conservative or conservative Christian applies to other Christian denominational religious groups who are theologically, socially, and culturally conservative but do not have overtly political organizations associated with them, which are usually uninvolved, uninterested, apathetic, or indifferent towards politics. Tim Keller, an Evangelical theologian and Presbyterian Church in America pastor, shows that Conservative Christianity (theology) predates the Christian right (politics), and that being a theological conservative didn't necessitate being a political conservative, that some political progressive views around economics, helping the poor, the redistribution of wealth, and racial diversity are compatible with theologically conservative Christianity. Rod Dreher, a senior editor for The American Conservative, a secular conservative magazine, also argues the same differences, even claiming that a "traditional Christian" a theological conservative, can simultaneously be left on economics (economic progressive) and even a socialist at that while maintaining traditional Christian beliefs.
------
Not all of these people who claim they’re Christian or who are Conservatives in the Political Sense are actually Evangelical Christian or even Christian in general, a good chunk of these people only say they’re Christian because their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and ancestors were Christian. There are many people who are only Culturally Christian, Nominally Christian, or Diest who claim to be Christin for social or cultural reasons but in actuality are Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, Unitarian Universalist, Theologically Liberal (Liberal Christianity) and New Age Mystics, etc. Also, remember that the United States was NOT founded as a Christian nation, a good chunk of the Founding Fathers were Culturally Christian, Deist, theologically liberal, or sacrilegious heretics that syncretized Western Classical thought, American exceptionalism, extremist forms of nationalism and even in some cases White supremacy with Christianity creating a false religion called “American Civil Religion” that on the surface looks like Christianity but in reality is very shallow and just co-opts Judaeo-Christian (Christian and Jewish) terminology for state propaganda. Most of these people described have turned America or their respective countries into a deity instead of focusing on Jesus, some people are turning America and Patriotism into an idol syncretizing it with Christianity. The evils and idolatry of American Civil Religion and Western Classics Civil Religion is seeping into many vocal American churches, this ideology needs to be cast out and rebuked.

Well a certain faction of Americans who call themselves Christian or even Evangelical Christian believe in heresy. Plus when they surveyed a certain bunch of Political Conservative so-called “Evangelicals”, a majority of them knew next to nothing about the faith they claim to believe in, but actually are either atheists or theologically liberal Mainline Protestants LARPing as Evangelicals or politically conservative Mainline Protestants because the Republican Party told them they’re Evangelical or Christian in general because they hold mostly Politically Conservative (even specifically social conservative) views while in reality their Theology is mostly Liberal (unorthodox and heretical) / theologically liberal. Most of them usually just check the “Evangelical” and “Christian” boxes or call themselves that only for cultural reason, because their great-grandparents/several family members were Evangelical Christians or Christian in general at some point, or they’re practitioners of Civil Religion (Western Classics Civil Religion/American Civil Religion) who are co-opting Christianity, Evangelical Christianity at that, to push a political agenda or social movement (especially among Political Conservatives).
bro liberal and conservative christianity does not have to do with political liberalism & conservatism
Conservatism follows closer to Christ than progressivism, which is why I like that ideology.

Missed point. Surprisingly, the wine party. Drunkenness is a sin.
Muslim here, yea, it's pretty offensive to imply that Mohamad was not a Muslim. In Islam, being a Muslim is not defined by following the Quran and what Mohamad preached, its defined by an absolute submission to God. It's why our biggest holiday celebrates Abraham placing his trust in God when God orders him to kill his son. To us, Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and all the other Prophets were Muslims because they submitted and placed their absolute trust in God. I have absolutely no idea why they would think any knowledgeable Muslim would accept that Mohamad wasn't a Muslim.
The fact they support abortion and still have the audacity to say a child’s life is more valuable than all the guns on the Earth is hilarious.
I've lived in the south my whole life. And every evangelical church I've attended has been very involved in helping the poor (both locally and abroad). I don't know where this idea that evangelical churches do not help the poor comes from.
The thing is Catholic and Mainl The thing is Catholic and Mainline Denominations/Churches are much more centralized and have much more old money-style multi-generational wealth while Evangelical denominations/churches are much more decentralized, grass-roots, and have amassed a lot less tangible wealth/real property barring a few mega-churches that gained larger audiences and membership due to emerging technologies like the television, internet, and mobile banking in recent decades. You can even see it in the term “Mainline Protestant,” where the etymology for “mainline” is linked to the affluent, historically “White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP)” old money-style areas of most towns/cities where the main trolly/train lines passed through in the same way that “Main Street” is always the affluent part of most small rural to mid sized suburban towns; while the Evangelical churches were in the houses, at revival camps, rural dirt roads, urban sides streets, in the inner-cities, and only recently in new money-style suburbs until Evangelicalism in the United States started to diversify socio-economically.
"Fruit of the Gospel, not root of the Gospel." (referring to social justice). That's clever, and catchy. Thanks.
Yep
Alot of people also dont understand that if you lived a thousand plus years ago you did not know what people looked like who lived on other continents. So some people from Europe trying to depict Jesus would draw or paint a person that somewhat looks like them. They didn't have the diverse communities like today. EX Lots of Europeans didnt know what asian people looked like. Or the other way around just look up asian depictions of Jesus. But modern people assume malice from this.
Most depictions of Christ are based on traditions that go all the way back to the first century.

Appreciate your content sir. Keep it up
You make an interesting comment at the 9:30 mark about how, in your experience, mainline churches do more to serve the poor than evangelical ones. In my experience, in the north of England, the evangelical non-denom church I'm part of, and the many others in our area, do a vast amount of work in this area. Our church has a weekly food pantry, hosts a weekly group for the elderly, and actively goes out to people in the area who are struggling. Does anyone else see this where you live?
It really depends on the place. Sometimes mainline churches do better in serving the poor, at others, non-denominational churches do better at serving the poor.
Regardless, the Holy Spirit works through Christians, regardless of denomination.
Never once in years of therapy dealing with PTSD has anyone tried to tell me my sinful actions are not my fault. they explained to my broken childish psyche in a time of need that the evil I suffered as a child was not my fault, but now I have to take 100% accountability for my actions and work towards healing and transformation with my biblically based faith as moral compass and the primary source of strength. I am disappointed in the church and mental health services equally because they ultimately do not, or cannot show up in times of need. Most of what you are saying makes it easy to be the pharisee or levite that passes the dying man that the samaritan will help. He didn't have right doctrine or know the messiah or have an apostle's creed. We should try to see the truth in what the "progressive" churches are saying. I wanted to laugh, but I'm just disheartened in the lack of unity on the essential truth that Christ has done it all and we are saved by grace . Not right doctrine.

Was it not Jesus who said to take care of their physical needs before you even try to take care of their spiritual needs? Some churches, sadly, have forgotten about that.
That's not exactly what it says. Jesus basically said that they are entwined. Like if you take care of their spiritual needs without taking care of their physical needs, it is worthless. It's like if someone was hungry, you didn't give them food, but you told them about what God has done. It's hypocritical.
No, he didn't say that. But it's not completely alien from his teachings
Christ and the Apostles did administer to physical needs before they preached. He may not have said it, but that was the modus operandi. Someone who is mainly concerned with their day to day, isn't going to be concerned about their soul.
First time commenter, long time watcher here. I semi-disagree with you disregarding “it’s possible to get an A in Bible and still flunk Christianity.” If someone dedicates their time to memorizing the words but not acting on them in real life then it is a waste of time. Read the Bible to understand its value and then implement those values in your life
Yeah, but that is an extremely unrealistic situation. Anyone who spends time in the word will be worked on by the holy spirit
Best as I can tell, the quote at 24:23 was not from C. S. Lewis. His views on love were far more complex and it doesn't even sound like something he would've said. There are so many fake Lewis quotes floating around I can almost always tell which ones are real or not.
This was such a great video
“Multiple paths to God”
God: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

It doesn’t say “ways” it says “way”.

>Jesus, or Jehova for that matter, deos not send sinners to hell. Sinners themselves condem themselves to hell by not following God. I believe The parables make it pretty clear that "Hell" is not a divine punishment, it's just what's out there in waiting outside of God's grace, and thus by refusing his grace you're letting yourself vulnerable to it on your own accord.
>...Who in the hell is saying Jesus is ''silent in the face of oppression what.". Also the oppressed people Jesus talked to are NOT even slightly comparable to the modern progressive american idea of an 'opressed group' this post is def talking about, it's just disengenuous.
>All the times Jesus critized religious people it was becasue they were sinning. Those two lines are the same thing.
>Yea Jesus didn't endorse Church and State. He also didn't subvert the empire, wahtever that means, he just said it as is: The politics of men are not important in the face of God. Heck he LET himself be labelled a terrorist and executed, for crying out loud, how is that subverting the empire?

>The "Holy War" Jesus endorses is against sin and evil itself, not people, as such it is not really violent by nature like humanities wars; also he literally whipped people so they'd stop desacrating the temple and told his followers to sell their cape to buy a sword, Jesus does NOT condemn fighting if it's the correct reason to fight, Jesus condemns you for sinning, which includes violence on most occasions, but self-defense and defending what's important is not violence by any reasaonble standarts.
So yeah. Sorry to comment a wall on a month-old video but that image seirously infuriated me.
