In other words, it is a form of self worship. Secular humanism is self worship by those who don’t acknowledge God. “Christian” humanism is self worship by those who acknowledge but reject God.
I'll offer my own explanation. I do so, as someone who personally embraces Christian humanism. The essential point is that all goodness is worth supporting, no matter whether it's associated with Christianity. Humans were created, to make something of ourselves and of the world around us. We do so, by practicing our faith. And we also do so, by appreciating anything else that is positive. Besides practicing religious devotions ... a Christian humanist might appreciate great literature, music, or architecture ... applaud advances in science ... or support noble causes such as social justice or environmental protection.
The bible also says, Because sentence against an evil work is not speedily executed, the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Eccl. 8:11
Exactly! What this video does is ignoring what SIN really is. It deletes the fact that we ALL ARE SINNERS (Rom.3:23) and that we can only do good by THE GRACE OF GOD. Actually, our good deeds are FILTHY RAGS to God (Isa. 64:6). THAT'S WHY WE SO DESPERATELY NEED THE GRACE OF GOD, His redemption, and His SON'S blood.
Am I the only one who didn't understand what this man said? I listened attentively and still I cannot tell you what he said. This never happens to me and I'm left feeling confounded.
The essential idea is simple, and easily grasped. Christian humanism embraces whatever is positive. It doesn't limit itself to things closely associated with the Christian religion. For example, a Christian humanist would applaud a cure for cancer ... no matter it was developed by a scientist who wasn't Christian ... for the simple reason that curing cancer would be good.
You may be confused because the message is entirely unBiblical - he is preaching a ‘man centric gospel’, which is no gospel at all - Gal 1:6,7… Our joy is not in ourselves, but in Christ! Jhn 15:11
Without God, our Creator, it is instant death to mankind. You worship your self as God. Existence doesn't exist WITHOUT God. Human wisdom, knowledge, and wisdom doesn't exist because they are godless. We worship our own wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We worship books we read, listening to ourselves talk, our knowledge. AMOS 5 "Seek ME and live."
God has given to all mankind rain and sun without partiality (whether they are wicked or righteous) God clothed mankind with His warmth and care while mankind was ignorant of God and worshipped after idols made in its own image. However, God has now revealed Himself through His Son Jesus Christ. I urge everyone to read Paul's sermon on Mars Hill in Athens, Greek. Acts 17 22-31 Here was how Paul finished his sermon. "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this, he has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead." You cannot reject this statement and still call your self a Christian.
Christian humanism is unchristian. It’s an oxymoron. Christian humanism states that the end of all being is the happiness of man. True Christianity states that the end of all being is the glory of God. Happiness of man is a by-product of the glory of God, it does have value, but it’s not the prime reason for all existence. That is the Glory of God
The bible says, The wisdom of man is foolishness with God. The bible says, The heart of man is deceitful above all, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? Christian humanism ain't the right road, it is the broad road to hell. HOWEVER, didn't the secular humanist Desiderius Erasmus corrupt the scriptures by making his own "Greek" text which altered 154 different scriptures with particular interest in corrupting the early church's teaching that there is NO divorce? Isn't Erasmus the one who ADDED the word "if" in front of the word "not" at Matthew 19:9 to create the FALSE notion that Jesus was teaching a loophole for people to be able to get divorces which is what the Pharisees wanted? Jesus made no exception or loophole at all for people to be able to get divorces. Marriage was for life, till death, nothing could break the one-flesh union instituted by God at Genesis 2, and Erasmus hated that, so he corrupted the bible to help out his friend King Henry VIII who wanted to divorce one wife and marry another which the church refused to sanction. THE BIBLICAL TEACHING ON DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE, by Leslie McFall should be read by any and everyone interested in this topic of how humanism got tangled up with the church. It's a Trojan horse of a problem to this very day.
Geee...but God was ok with a civil war over a father, quartering up his own daughter...guess the better solution later on was to grab a young girl from the bushes to take as their wives after slaughtering their parents...
Wow. That was either a very ignorant or dishonest portrayal of secular humanism. I am all for christian humanists since they share very much of their values and goals with secular humanism . We dont of course agree that there is good and substansiated reasons to believe in any superstition or supernatural.
Do you think that someone made your house, even though you have never seen them? The house is the evidence of the builder. Same with this universe. It had a beginning, therefore it had to have a cause. And that cause, is God. This universe could not have created itself. So do you think God cares about how we live? If He has given us morality so that we have set up a system of law with courts and judges, how much more would the supreme ruler of the universe demand justice? Have you ever lied, stolen the smallest thing or thought a rude thought? If these were the things God would judge us by, would He find us innocent or guilty? The answer? Guilty. Sinning against an infinite authority figure brings infinite punishment. Hell. So how can we stop going to hell? Does doing good deeds take away our sins? If I get a speeding ticket in the morning, then do 5 good things, should the judge let me go free? No, the fine has to be paid. What about asking for forgiveness? If a criminal stands before a judge and says, I'm really sorry... Should the judge let him go free? No, because that would be a bad judge. If he forgave every criminal because he loved them, that would not be doing justice. Justice has to be paid. God is merciful, but not so at the expense of justice. The only way we can go to heaven is if someone pays our hell punishment for us. Jesus lived a perfect sinless life and then took all of God's wrath for our sins upon Himself on the cross. Since Jesus paid 100% of our sins, there is none left for us to pay. Our punishment has been paid and we get off free. Justice has been paid and Gods mercy has been upheld. Our good deeds don't save us. Nor do they contribute anything to our salvation. Jesus paid it all. Just acknowledge your sins, and accept this gift of Jesus Christ to go to heaven. To learn more about God. Read the Bible. It's available free online. Read the gospel of John first.
Brandon Rashtian He wasn't addressing humanism per se but the fallen nature of man which is applicable to both interpretations of humanism. He also said "OFTEN are our worst instincts" not "ARE our worst instincts. Context, context, context.
Humanism proposes that mankind can achieve in practice the society he dreams of. But what has this man-centered philosophy wrought?:100 years of ever degrading culture and the making of laws that has produced a "morality" counter to Gods law. And now our country is racked by increasing chaos and strife with no end in sight. I will choose God's Word and His Promises over any brand of humanism. Ultimately it is the Lord Jesus Christ we will answer to for our choices. Romans 12:1&2

I think the definition varies depending on who you ask
Some people would say that seeing God in many things like secular movies is being prophetic

@@thedrummer77Terrible exegesis on your part.

You should probably just go watch other Christian Humanism videos then
Bottom Line: Humanism is simply the exaltation of self.
The essential idea is simple, and easily grasped. Christian humanism embraces whatever is positive. It doesn't limit itself to things closely associated with the Christian religion.

Are there any scriptures to Support this?

This guy spent over 5 minutes saying virtually nothing...

Could you provide historical evidences to support your premises?

So you deny that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin woman? A woman who previously had no relations with any man that is.
Do you think that someone made your house, even though you have never seen them? The house is the evidence of the builder. Same with this universe. It had a beginning, therefore it had to have a cause. And that cause, is God. This universe could not have created itself.

Our first instincts are our worst instincts...what!? Great job misrepresenting humanism as well!

Which is why your life has been an uninterrupted series of virtuous thoughts and actions :-)

Sorry but life was not more holy 100 years ago. They had their own vices and failures.
blah, blah, blah - answer the question
The definition you gave for secular humanism is far from accurate sir, I couldn’t even watch the rest of the video all - credibility vanished
