I always hate hearing “God is going to send me to hell”…God doesn’t send anyone anywhere…we were already headed there. God gave us a way out through Jesus.
That's the state of the world we live in. A non believer of Christ sees a Nativity scene on their neighbors front yard, they feel offended or even threatened at the idea that they're going to hell. Unfortunately, they fail to see the bigger picture.
If God exists and is all powerfull, he sends people to hell through inaction. He could instantly and easily stop hell from existing. He also sets the rules, those who are not convinced by the docturine of christianity, all hindus, muslims, agnostics, buddhists etc., are deemed to be deserving of eternal torture. Imagine a state that ordered any amount of torture as a punishment for thought crime. "The state doesn't send you to the Goulag. You send yourself there for your lack of belief in the all powerful state."
@@jamesmiller1038 God is just he made hell for fallen angles and the devil who betrayed him you wouldn’t live in the same house as someone who tries to destroy everything you have so whoever doesn’t believe in God won’t be allowed in heaven and will go to hell because who would live in a house were people hated you
12:16 “When you look at someone and you feel like they’re attractive and you have to disagree with that part of yourself every second of the day and you have to tell yourself ‘that’s freaking wrong’” Without going into unnecessary details, I struggled with lust for a long time and her statement there reminded me of how I felt when I was working to overcome those urges. The conclusion I came to(and I think this is likely applicable to her too) is that I was taking the wrong approach by telling myself “that’s freaking wrong”. It turns out that I didn’t need to tell myself anything because I wasn’t the one who had the power to overcome that temptation. Instead of telling myself that it’s wrong, I had to go to God and ask him to help me. Eventually, God removed that sin from my life and it was because I told Him what was wrong instead of telling myself what was wrong.
The point you made was so helpful and reminded me that repentance isn’t something humans can do alone, but rather, by the grace of God, He changes that mindset that gives you a corrupted viewpoint; and that sin get removed. God bless you ❤️
Amen. And heterosexuals go through the same thing every day as well, it’s really not dependent on who the person is attracted to. Acting on the temptation outside of marriage is a sin either way. Which is why I don’t see the problem that more progressive Christians put forth when arguing that they shouldn’t have to deny their sexuality. Because as Jesus said, we all should.
I also am going through the same now. Even with what she was saying I understood. The weight of it is immense, and most of that weight comes from feeling alone in your struggle. I appreciate your comment and would love if you had any more advice as someone trying to overcome this curse of sin
Woah. “I told him what was wrong instead of telling myself what was wrong.” That hit me SO HARD, and I *really* needed to hear that. Thank you for your comment! God has used it to speak directly to my relationship with Him.
Hallelujah! I have had the same issue with pornography. I battled it myself and hated myself everytime i fell until i gave it all to God(he told me to tell my mom, which was extremely scary but i did it because i trust in God) and my lust issues basically disappeared after that day. Yes i do sometimes feel lust but it's so much easier to overcome when you're not angry at yourself for even feeling it. I think it's also super important to understand that God knows these feelings and He is not angry at you for feeling them. He just wants to set you free from the bonds that sin holds on you and the only way that He can do that is if you stop fighting it yourself and just give it to Him.
I actually watched this video before I got saved (I always said that I was Christian but I was still living in sin) and at first, I thought that the woman in yellow was being judgemental because I had the "you can be anything you want to be. God doesn't care" mentality but now that I got saved......I realize how wrong I was.😓 I agree with you. A lot has changed since I got saved (starting with how I view things) Its like I'm a whole new person😅 and it all started with the renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2)

For the woman who said "i still felt that god loved me" yes he loves you, he loves everyone. He just doesn't love what you do. Just because he still loves you doesn't mean he loves what you've been doing. It also doesn't justify what you do because that could be seen as taking advantage of the fact that he'll always love you.

I understand what it is like to identify as queer, but daily I choose to give up my cross. It is haaaard!! Just like it is with any other sins, but that is who God made me to be, he has a purpose for me in this struggle. I get encouraged a lot by James chapter 1:2-3
He’s giving you opportunity to speak to those, like you once were, who are lost-your example is Saul who actually killed Christians thinking he was doing Gods work-God saved him and he became a great teacher of the gospel and saved ppl from hell by sharing Christ-he wrote epistles, started churches etc- you can be an inspiration

If I were in that vice interview and were asked whether if I doubted my beliefs.... Yes, I did (strongly agree). And my doubt confirms that I have faith which requires God everyday.
John 6:40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
12:10 Giiiiiirl, sweetheart....🤦♀️ Jesus NEVER said that being a Christian was gonna be easy. That's why He said to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him, and yes, that's a choice! You dont have to do it. You dont have to choose to be with God and accept Him. But yet people get upset when we mention hell. If you dont want to listen and obey love, true love and be with God and be willing and want to take down your own opinions and pride and change, I mean you if you choose that you don't want to be with God, you think God is gonna force you to be with Him for eternity??? But going back to her saying how hard it is to continually keep away from that sin every moment of the day. That's what we all do! You ain't alone in your own little struggle boat. Its a battle everyday with temptation and sin. But at the end of the day, it's a choice, and from what she is saying, she is choosing to live in that sin and accept it and even say she identifies with it rather than fighting it with Jesus, cause she was never made to fight on her own, we all aren't. And I ain't saying am not guilty of making wrong choices. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Of His pure goodness.

I was asked by a friend who was not a believer, if he comes to God will God change him, and I said yes. He asked again why will God change me, and my response was because it is the reason you have come to God. And he said that is so true. People who are looking for change in their life will never seeing that God is a God change us a make us new creatures in Christ Jesus. My nature of sin overwhelmed me, and I called on to God to save me, and He did, and gave a new nature which is of Holiness and Righteousness. Thank you Jesus Christ!
@@D1sc0rd- Do we have the time to spare? With more schisms all over the place, or 'strong delusion'? And nobody saw much intervention in the slave trade, blood libel, or Inquisition, oddly. It may not have been as urgent to show as the plagues in Egypt, or fall of Jericho, I suppose. As for John 14:12-13, it often seems a bit sparing. Lastly, sin, did technically, arise in heaven.
It's not about 'putting off' all sin is the same no sin is bigger then the other. It's hard to 'put off' sexual desire, but surrendering it helps living more of what He has for me you get peace from this. So sin in the end is just about laying it down. No ones asking you to do it in your own strength cause no one can.

Love the questions and your feedback. The LGBT response was very interesting especially listening to the perspective of the Queer woman and how she views a Christians response to their lifestyle. It was so eye opening as far as hearing it from her rather than from Christians who assume sometimes. Jackie Hill Perry who is a Christian poet talks about this deeper in her book Gay Girl Good GOD and gives advice for how the church should approach the LGBT community. You also explained it very well too with how Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and pick up our cross and how God transforms us. Thanks for the content. I’m gonna go watch Part 2 now. Side Note: While you were talking, I couldn’t help but notice the sword in the back 😅
YES JACKIE HILL PERRY. when I came out as bi to my former youth leader at my old church she suggest that book to me. I still haven’t gotten around to reading it yet but I love that 💜💜
Your videos are soo great! , talking about controversial topics is hard but you do it in such an awesome way, sharing the truth with and in love. This is awesome!! Awesome channel dude!! :)
Thank you so much for this channel, since you are one of the few firm believers on UA-cam. Also, I totally agree with you on the grey havens...super underrated!
Here’s what I posted one the actual video. I was upset with how people are trying to belittle the Way. Question 1: Christian music isn’t that good because it is trying hard to catch the listener attention (as in saying what is wanting to be heard instead of needed) and not their attention ( as in the main thing). Christianity is not a club or fashion, it a LIFE STYLE. Q2-3: You can not practice homosexuality or anything that is not of God and be Christian. Not because I say or said you can’t, but because it is impossible. A Christian is one who wants to be with God, and to be, you have to follow! What I mean be this is, you can’t be In Sin or gay and be with God. Here’s proof- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Side note: guy who identifies as gay said that the guy in orange was leaving out stuff in the Bible (which he didn’t by the way) when he himself did the same. Acts 10:9-16. Q4: No, God does not love everyone equally. What about Jacob and Esau? Malachi 1:1-3 The Kingdom of God isn’t Mr. Rogers neighborhood. We can’t interchange Mercy with love. Psalm 25:8-10. However, God doesn’t play favorites either. Deuteronomy 10:17. If you get confused in all this, just know that God is God. Meaning he can do what he wants. Who are we to say otherwise? Q5: No! You can not date (assuming that’s leading to marriage)or marry anyone who is not a Christian. Why? Read it for yourself and understand well. Malachi 2:10-11 in response to what the guy in orange said, it is not beneficial to have a relationship/ hang around those who aren’t Christian. Why? Because it is easier to pull someone down than up just like basic physics. A friend is like a brother that isn’t blood related. Q6: Sex outside of marriage is wrong. Why? Because 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Q7: Short answer- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10…. Also Matthew 7:21-23. All of the right answers and responses can be found in the Bible, the very word of God. The same word the died, the same word that was,the same word that is and the one that always will be.
1. Absolutely agree. I still listen to secular music now and then, but I have seen the effects music has had on my psyche that I generally only listen to Christian music. Then again, I only was introduced to it when I was 16 and I started with artists like Skillet, Red, etc. I have found such enjoyable music that I don’t really feel like I’m missing out on anything anymore. There is definitely lame Christian music, but there is also some really awesome music, too. 2. Have I doubted? Not really. My faith has definitely been tested, but I’ve never seriously doubted. 3. Yep pretty much what she said though I have fluctuated over the years. That is where I currently stand. Also, amen to all you said, too. Identity wrapped too much in the flesh. That’s exactly how it is.
God loves us no matter what. He created us this way and his love is unconditional. Don't change who you are as you will be ruining his hard work and efforts. You are made for great things. Don't doubt it. God loves you.
12:16 If you discard your earthly desires and create a relationship with God, your desires will begin to align more and more with God. Your earthly desires will become less desirable because you are wanted to do what you are called to do. Hope this makes somewhat sense.

Q1: Agree. It has a very calming feeling for me. It's not my mainstream music I listen to, but there's a few that I hold near and dear to my heart. Q2: IDK if I should say Agree or strongly agree. There have been times, especially hard times, in the past that I've wondered if I'm believing the right way or if what I'm believing in is even real. Not so much the latter. Q3:Strongly disagree. I know a whole group doesn't necessarily speak for one person, but with with what the LGBTQ has been pushing nowadays, it's hard to not look at someone who Identifies as LGBTQ and not wonder if they're just as radical as the ones on social media. Sadly, that's the kind of LGBTQ community I witness everyday.
Ah, I think I will probably enjoy this channel. Your view on what it means to be Christian, while reacting to the 'have you doubted your faith' question rings similarly to my view on things. It's not about making God how you want, but allowing God to mold you. Something like this. I'm not super articulate.
You can find Christian music your style you just have to know where to look. There is good Christian rap that I genuinely enjoy and it for sure brought me closer to God. Just remember what comes in your ears can affect your heart
That one girly who was all like “ the church made me feel hated due to my sexuality and I don’t feel that from God” God loves us despite our sins but we shouldn’t abuse his love like that! Of course your going feel loved by God because he dose love but that love should never be abused in that way!
I’m confused why you’re making all of these assumptions and honestly I don’t know how to talk to you. I’m sorry if it sounded that way but really that isn’t what I mean when I say that to people
John 6:40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

I watch a lot of Jubilee middle ground videos, but I didn’t even bother watching these ones when they came out, because my first thought was “of course all Christians don’t think the same, that’s such a stupid premise 😂” But the Christian music one is one of the most interesting “semi hot button“ issues in the Christian community. My perspective is that I don’t listen to any music I wouldn’t sing along to, because I won’t say or sing anything I don’t believe to be true. That cuts out a lot of secular music-but not all of it-AND more Christian music than you’d think! I’d also like to point out that if you really put in an *effort to LOOK,* you can find Christian music in literally any genre you like. I love rock ‘n’ roll and alternative, so I went searching for Christian music like that, and I’ve discovered so many incredible but small and little-known artists and bands!
I'm glad there's a video about this and that you talk about how we all sin - that we're all fallen and dead apart from Christ no matter what we identify as or see ourselves as. We are all sinners until Christ, in His mercy, comes to us and saves us by His blood and we all are called to change and can only change by His Spirit.
A few of the topics/questions are really not about doubting 'your' beliefs but whether or not the Bible lines up with what 'you' believe. This applies for both sides of the argument. We first have to know that what we believe lines up with what the Bible actually teaches, then we have to have a heart that wants Jesus to get all the glory in whatever we do. So our goal is not confrontation, per se, but reconciliation with and surrender to Jesus will in the same way He surrendered to the Father's will in the Garden of Gethsemane, "not my will but yours be done." Pride is a great hinderance to this end.
When people think of Christian music they only think of the alternative worship style from Hillsong or Bethel music. However nowadays there’s multiple genres of music under that Christian umbrella including hip-hop rap Reggaetón etc.
Hey I love your videos, I'm so happy that there's someone who is reacting to controversial christian videos with the truth. But I would suggest to include your sources and bible verses in the video (to mention them or add them as a subtitle), so we can refer to God's word, study them as we listen to you with discernment. Keep it up! God bless brother!
I am 32 years old and have been Christian since I was a child and I grew up in a Christian family, and they teach me to respect and to not judge others, I have atheist friends as well and muslims and jewish friends, all of my friends are kind people. One of my brothers was for a short while a non-christian, but my parents still respected him, and they was not embarest of him, and keep contact with him when he was a non-christian, and he was still a good person. God created us with a free choise, its against christianity to force people to become christians, and its illegal in christianity to prejudge others We should all be humble and we should not feel worse or better than others. Christians are not a homogenous group of people, we are as different as people who are not Christians, we are individual people. Unfortunately, some Christians judge others, but at least as many non-Christians judge others, many Christians are also met with prejudice by non-Christians to the same extent than the opposite, simply saying that "Christians feel better than others" is generalizing and say and prejudiced in itself, I just wanted to explane how different us humans are. Purely hypothetically, I might as well resemble an atheist as much as another Christian, it depends from person to person. The person I am most similar to is the person I have most in common with in areas other than religion, I am most similar to a person who has the same interests and hobbies and the same way of being, it could be another Christian person, but it could just as easily be a atheist or a Muslim. I am outgoing, like swimming, handball, field hockey, like to go for walks in nature, open to and talk about feelings with people I know, a little bromance personality, people who have the same personality and the same interests are the ones I most resemble, what we believe in the spiritual says little or nothing about personality Christians and Muslims and Jews and all other religious people and atheists are just as different and individual as everyone else, we are not a "separate race, where everyone thinks alike or have the same personality», it does NOT EXIST a stereotype or typical christian, we’r all different people
No, no you are not, @Kristoffer Larsen , I agree. A bit late, maybe, as schisms, infighting, bifurcation and sliding doctrine, has already occurred, in the last few hundred years, though? To some fairly messy results, too. And DO we all have free choice - given Romans 8:30, Romans 9:12, Matthew 7:13, and Revelations 13:8? Honestly, I cannot tell. Less maybe than many angels had when they spontaneously chose to rebel, in a realm with no flaws, or a Fall, or 'glass darkly', and were not 'natural men' at time, either? Sorry, that's from 1 Corinthians 2:14 - another verse relevant to free will concerns. I hope I did not confuse you? I guess John 14:13, fulfilled, might make of this less confusing, but as said, Christians do vary a lot, historically. And sometimes accuse whole sects of not truly being ones, or feel they had to settle disagreements, in conflict? But yes, I do agree with you, in every other respect, generally - so thanks. Although things were kind of forceful, all the same, a few hundred years ago. And I don't think quite all of the old law got done away with, immediately, either.
@@chrissonofpear1384 I'm Norwegian, so it happens that I use some words a little incorrectly, since English is not my native language, I rarely use Google Translate, but occasionally to correct and to get the right words, and I see that I should be better at this comment field and I should have been more clever to use Google in that spesific comment. "Free choice" can mean the same in Norwegian as "free will". I mean people have a free will, God doesn't force anyone to be a Christian, because God is no dictator, if you don't want to be a Christian and don't want to have anything to do with God, then we have a free will (I say free choice in Norway). 1)Free will = Fri vilje 2)Free choice = Fritt valg / valgfritt And «fritt valg» (free choice) can be used in the same way as «fri vilje» (free will) A lot of things we do in life is regardless of religion, like I like to make food and swim and I like to be honest and open when I speak with good friends about things that is difficult in life, many straight men have a personality where they don’t like to talk about emotions things with their male friends (regardless of religion or secularism) so this is why I don’t relate religion to personality, personality is in our mind not in our religion
@@chrissonofpear1384 I also think that prejudice is about personality, not about religion. I think there can be many factors as to why some people are prejudiced. It's about personality, some are just like that without a logical explanation, some are like that based on bad experiences, or on how you've been taught to think, all regardless of religion or non-religiousness. Christians sometimes prejudice non-christians, and atheists sometimes prejudice Christians, it can go both ways, but its not Christianity or ateism that makes us behave this way, its the way one choose to treat others in life, its about that some people in the world don’t respect people that believe in something else than they do, and that is about having a personality that don’t respect that other believe differently than themself about religion or non-religiousness
@@kk440635NORWAY That's fair enough. But me, Judao-Christian religion, and free will, as a definition, have never fully seen eye to eye together, I'm afraid. St Paul also, looked pretty prejudiced, to me. Heh-ho, though. He might not have grasped that others do not see Romans 1:18 the same way, for one. Never mind.
@@chrissonofpear1384 What I also would like to say, even what I am gonna say is completely off topic. Its about alcohol. I am a Christian, and I don’t drink, but the reason I don’t drink have nothing to do with my faith, I would’nt drink if I was an atheist either, and even if some people don’t drink and they base it on their faith, its up to them, its their choise, its nothing wrong with that either. I have never met a person in my life that are a teetotaller (a person that never drink) that judge a person that drink, regardless of faith. But I have met alot of people that drink alcohol (even from christians) that judge teetotaller. People that don’t drink alcohol don’t prejudge people that do drink alcohol (at least in a life of 32 years I have still not met a prejudiced teetotaller). I have Christian friends that drink alcohol, and I have Christian friends that don’t drink alcohol. I have non-christian friends that drink alcohol and non-christian friends that don’t drink alcohol. teetotallers are everywhere, not just by christians, but by every kind of people. Someone judged me some years ago, because I say «no thanks» in a party to alcohol, my atheist friend was there beside me, he is also a teetotaller, the host say «thats okey, I respect you» to my atheist friend, but the same host say to be «come on, why are you so prejudiced, you are not better than us» and I answer «did I ever told you that I was better than you?» and the host answerd «no, but its obvious» and than I say «why did you say that you respect the other person that say no thanks, but you did not respect me» and he say «because he is an atheist, he don’t drink, because he don’t like to drink alcohol, but you don’t drink because you think you are a better person than us» Most non-Christians respect that I am an abstainer and do not like or drink alcohol, but there are still some who do not respect this, and then I realize that he are the one who are prejudiced (the host at the party), he are the one who feel better than the others. I choose not to drink, because I don't like the taste, I don't like the effect, I feel most comfortable by have 100% control over my body at all times. I have also been advised by the doctor not to drink due to health reasons But why should I have a excuse not to drink? Why should I have to defend that I don't drink? Why can't I just say "no" and why won't they leave me alone, the drinkers? I NEVER ask anyone WHY they drink, but I am often asked why I DON'T drink
Idk why the gay thing is so controversial. Nobody ever starts an argument over pornography, infidelity, or promiscuity that is so emotionally invested as homosexuality.
It's because noone is forcing anyone to be accepting and supportive of infidelity, pornography etc. Everyone for the most part acknowledges and accepts that they're wrong. But in the case of homosexually people are constantly forcing people to confirm to that mind set even forcing themselves into the churches and demanding that they church supports it. And if you refuse you get cyber bullied, fired, lose business deals, sued, persecuted etc. It hinders religious freedom and that's why the conversation is important to have especially as Christians.
@@tatiancarrington7446 that was my point. Society isn’t romanticizing things like prostitution or rejecting Christianity because it contradicts things like polygamy. They exclusively target Christianity due to its stance on homosexuality. It doesn’t make sense to me.
@@MattS-ov5zu it's purely a politicians game. Homosexuality became one of the talking points of the Democratic party during the Obama reelection campaign in 2011 and it's a very effective one
With all due respect, I think you should watch some videos about religious trauma in the church. You can start with “I thought Gay celibacy was my only option in the church” on Medium. When you are a teenager, everyone expects you to fall in love, asks you about it, supports you in it and condones it… But if you can’t fall in love or fall for the wrong person you feel like there’s something wrong with you, like you’re an alien or something. And that’s best case scenario. You can easily be disowned or abused as well, by Christians! Actually I am a straight, Bible believing Christian, but you do understand that Christianity also spread in Ancient Rome because people felt so sorry for us?
In both Romans and 1Corinthians the Holy Spirit warns that no hmsxl will enter the kingdom and it's something that should never be done. Also lying, adultery and all sin. In Revelations it tells us all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. Before becoming Christian, I identified as a liar but now I'm following Christ I have to put off the old self. We're to seek out own salvation with fear and trembling. May Jesus bless you.
13:38 It's as if since we acknowldged the wrong doing it brought a realization of the weight of the sin that was already within us. That is why we are called free in Christ when we repent. (just realization here) Then everytime we sin, we feel convicted and it brings the same weight as we once realized that we're sinners.
I had a realization, if myself from January 1st of 2020 saw who I am now, he'd be very much disgusted. God has saved me from Sin, from lust. Instead of saying "you're asking me to forget who I believe I am" say "God is helping me leave my sin." It's not easy, the temptation is strong but the Love of God is stronger.
I think what may also affect the opinions on Christian music is that some artists seem to restrict their musical creativity and subject matter. I also think that there are simply fewer Christian musical artists than in many popular genres of music like pop and rock (though yes, there are Christian versions of these). I may be wrong about that playing a role though.
People who are possessed by the same spirit will not agree entirely but their goals will be in alignment because they're following the will of the Holy Spirit.
Q1:Somewhat agree: I don’t personally feel a connection with most Christian music except for a select few that I get totally immersed. My favorite is Reckless. Q2: Strongly Agree: Being a Christian is hard I have questioned from time to time throughout quarantine, I’m even questioning now but this channel is really helping me. Q3: Disagree: I don’t support the LGBTQ community because it is against the Bible and my personal beliefs but like the lady in the yellow said that they are loved and welcomed to Jesus.
For me when it comes to christian music I don't like it when they try to mimic worldy music like the the type of music they use and how the song is sung like some Christian music I've it's legit possible to dance to it at a club and if it's a type of Christian music you full on dance to like that ,then I won't consider it christian music
(9:17) this is the part of the Jubilee video that I never liked. Jasmine is misinterpreting Kytia's words and twisting them to mean something else, instead of listening. Kytia never said that God wants Jasmine to go to hell, that is how Jasmine took it. God doesn't want anyone to go to hell. Its frustrating to communicate when someone prefers to stay in their feelings rather than listen.
I find the background music really distracting. I have just found your channel and I’ve been bingeing it a little bit so definitely a constructive criticism not a complaint!
If I may quote a famous man of great faith "but lord what will give me for a child, I remain childless" and "Lord, how will I know I will possess this land" and the same man laughed and said "shall a child be born to a man who is seventy years old? Shall my wife who is 90 bear a child" that man was Abraham, a man of great faith and he too doubted God multiple times, it is through our doubt we become more certain, because God answers our doubt, but he is the one who gives us the faith to believe
The difference between Christians and non Christians is that we are beggars telling other beggars where to find bread. Jesus is the bread. Come to him, deny yourself, and follow him. You must decrease and he must increase. God bless you to who ever reads this.

I always hate hearing “God is going to send me to hell”…God doesn’t send anyone anywhere…we were already headed there. God gave us a way out through Jesus.
Lies upon lies
That's the state of the world we live in. A non believer of Christ sees a Nativity scene on their neighbors front yard, they feel offended or even threatened at the idea that they're going to hell. Unfortunately, they fail to see the bigger picture.
...if we repent and believe. Jesus wont save those that dont want to be saved.
If God exists and is all powerfull, he sends people to hell through inaction. He could instantly and easily stop hell from existing.
He also sets the rules, those who are not convinced by the docturine of christianity, all hindus, muslims, agnostics, buddhists etc., are deemed to be deserving of eternal torture.
Imagine a state that ordered any amount of torture as a punishment for thought crime. "The state doesn't send you to the Goulag. You send yourself there for your lack of belief in the all powerful state."
@@jamesmiller1038 God is just he made hell for fallen angles and the devil who betrayed him you wouldn’t live in the same house as someone who tries to destroy everything you have so whoever doesn’t believe in God won’t be allowed in heaven and will go to hell because who would live in a house were people hated you
12:16 “When you look at someone and you feel like they’re attractive and you have to disagree with that part of yourself every second of the day and you have to tell yourself ‘that’s freaking wrong’”
Without going into unnecessary details, I struggled with lust for a long time and her statement there reminded me of how I felt when I was working to overcome those urges. The conclusion I came to(and I think this is likely applicable to her too) is that I was taking the wrong approach by telling myself “that’s freaking wrong”. It turns out that I didn’t need to tell myself anything because I wasn’t the one who had the power to overcome that temptation. Instead of telling myself that it’s wrong, I had to go to God and ask him to help me. Eventually, God removed that sin from my life and it was because I told Him what was wrong instead of telling myself what was wrong.
The point you made was so helpful and reminded me that repentance isn’t something humans can do alone, but rather, by the grace of God, He changes that mindset that gives you a corrupted viewpoint; and that sin get removed. God bless you ❤️
Amen. And heterosexuals go through the same thing every day as well, it’s really not dependent on who the person is attracted to. Acting on the temptation outside of marriage is a sin either way. Which is why I don’t see the problem that more progressive Christians put forth when arguing that they shouldn’t have to deny their sexuality. Because as Jesus said, we all should.
I also am going through the same now. Even with what she was saying I understood. The weight of it is immense, and most of that weight comes from feeling alone in your struggle. I appreciate your comment and would love if you had any more advice as someone trying to overcome this curse of sin
Woah. “I told him what was wrong instead of telling myself what was wrong.”
That hit me SO HARD, and I *really* needed to hear that. Thank you for your comment! God has used it to speak directly to my relationship with Him.
Hallelujah! I have had the same issue with pornography. I battled it myself and hated myself everytime i fell until i gave it all to God(he told me to tell my mom, which was extremely scary but i did it because i trust in God) and my lust issues basically disappeared after that day. Yes i do sometimes feel lust but it's so much easier to overcome when you're not angry at yourself for even feeling it. I think it's also super important to understand that God knows these feelings and He is not angry at you for feeling them. He just wants to set you free from the bonds that sin holds on you and the only way that He can do that is if you stop fighting it yourself and just give it to Him.
I actually watched this video before I got saved (I always said that I was Christian but I was still living in sin) and at first, I thought that the woman in yellow was being judgemental because I had the "you can be anything you want to be. God doesn't care" mentality but now that I got saved......I realize how wrong I was.😓 I agree with you. A lot has changed since I got saved (starting with how I view things) Its like I'm a whole new person😅 and it all started with the renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2)
Elise, that is an amazing testimony! Thanks for watching :)
@@Sbsok82 Its a pretty bold thing to say that she wasn't saved without you knowing them. Just to quickly answer your question, yes you're right that God is all loving, but He's also perfectly good and perfectly just and perfectly Holy. We can't separate these attributes from one another, they make up who God is.
@@gabrielst-germain5968 hello, yes, sorry. I forgot that you could gain something different than just faith from religion. I was being an asshole, and didn't think.
@@gabrielst-germain5968 also, saved from what; and why was any soul in jeopardy; or Satan owed any access to them (in ah, disguise) ?
@@chrissonofpear1384 well we're mainly saved from the wrath of God, his punishment towards sinners, and to an extent i believe, from ourselves. Why was any soul in jeopardy? Every soul is in jeopardy. We are born in opposition towards God, its in our sinful nature, and as long as we live in that opposition we are stumbling blindly towards imminent doom.
I'm not sure i get the last bit of your question....Satan owed access to whom in which disguise?
Mad respect to Kytia for speaking the truth in such love. I don't think I would have been able to do that with such boldness if I were in her shoes.
No hate like Christian love i guess
@@seagule60 Not even hate. Just because you disagree doesnt make it become hate all of a sudden. This generation needs to be less sensitive.
@@AmenArmy no. We are more connected and exposed to information and can help each other escape manipulation and financial grifts. Older generations are becoming more sensitive along with younger ones. Its information rather than indoctrination. Christian love is a recruitment tactic and is often narcissistic and condescending. I was in it for years lol
@@AmenArmy once you experience real love from peers, you see christian love for what it is ... Marketing

I know you posted this a year ago, but just wanted to say I hope you’re doing well ^-^
For the woman who said "i still felt that god loved me" yes he loves you, he loves everyone. He just doesn't love what you do. Just because he still loves you doesn't mean he loves what you've been doing. It also doesn't justify what you do because that could be seen as taking advantage of the fact that he'll always love you.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33
We all have to leave the flesh behind, people who lie, who fornicate, who are drug and alcohol addicts, porn. We all struggle with something, everyday.
But we can be free from it, Romans 6 says. So the struggling stops, because His desires become our desires because of the renewing of the mind.
The portion at the 7:08 mark reminds me of this scripture:
“So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.” - Rev 3:16
Lukewarm about what, @Tatiana Smith - and what of OMISSIONS? What, too, was or was NOT meant to happen to Jews post 1 Corinthians 10, in Christendom?
@@chrissonofpear1384 homosexuality goes against how God made marriage. If God wanted Adam and Steve then he'd do it: he didn't.
@@Aperson-rs4eh Remind me how He did make it? and in Deuteronomy 21, Exodus 21, and Numbers 31?
Or was that more how He - ahem - 'tolerated' it?
And two people cannot encapsulate the whole variety of human experience - not blindly and mechanically.
You might as well imply He only wanted one type of mind, personality or expression of both.
@@chrissonofpear1384 he allows us to do what we want but since God is a judge and judges have to punsh crime God has to punish sin. God gives us free will to let us decide ourselves if we want to worship him or not. He tolerates sin temporarily and then he judges our eternity by our temporary life here on earth.
@@Aperson-rs4eh Not when they were a 'chosen people' who He got pissed off with every third chapter, were they?
And not all have equal free will or equal understanding. Certainly not equal to all pre Fall angels.
And some would judge His messy approach to slavery, too.
I understand what it is like to identify as queer, but daily I choose to give up my cross. It is haaaard!! Just like it is with any other sins, but that is who God made me to be, he has a purpose for me in this struggle. I get encouraged a lot by James chapter 1:2-3
Seems like pot luck, to me. And how many got put to death for unclear definitions of it?
He's got you keep going:)
Good on you! God is good!
He’s giving you opportunity to speak to those, like you once were, who are lost-your example is Saul who actually killed Christians thinking he was doing Gods work-God saved him and he became a great teacher of the gospel and saved ppl from hell by sharing Christ-he wrote epistles, started churches etc- you can be an inspiration
Sry did not know this video was done months ago- I am sure you grew as a follower of Christ-May God shine His face upon you and keep you

And my doubt confirms that I have faith which requires God everyday.

12:10 Giiiiiirl, sweetheart....🤦♀️ Jesus NEVER said that being a Christian was gonna be easy. That's why He said to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him, and yes, that's a choice! You dont have to do it. You dont have to choose to be with God and accept Him. But yet people get upset when we mention hell. If you dont want to listen and obey love, true love and be with God and be willing and want to take down your own opinions and pride and change, I mean you if you choose that you don't want to be with God, you think God is gonna force you to be with Him for eternity??? But going back to her saying how hard it is to continually keep away from that sin every moment of the day. That's what we all do! You ain't alone in your own little struggle boat. Its a battle everyday with temptation and sin. But at the end of the day, it's a choice, and from what she is saying, she is choosing to live in that sin and accept it and even say she identifies with it rather than fighting it with Jesus, cause she was never made to fight on her own, we all aren't. And I ain't saying am not guilty of making wrong choices. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Of His pure goodness.

Great video. Very calm reaction.
I was asked by a friend who was not a believer, if he comes to God will God change him, and I said yes. He asked again why will God change me, and my response was because it is the reason you have come to God. And he said that is so true. People who are looking for change in their life will never seeing that God is a God change us a make us new creatures in Christ Jesus. My nature of sin overwhelmed me, and I called on to God to save me, and He did, and gave a new nature which is of Holiness and Righteousness. Thank you Jesus Christ!
What was that process like? People make it sound like it happens in an instant
@@D1sc0rd- Do we have the time to spare? With more schisms all over the place, or 'strong delusion'?
And nobody saw much intervention in the slave trade, blood libel, or Inquisition, oddly.
It may not have been as urgent to show as the plagues in Egypt, or fall of Jericho, I suppose.
As for John 14:12-13, it often seems a bit sparing.
Lastly, sin, did technically, arise in heaven.
It's not about 'putting off' all sin is the same no sin is bigger then the other. It's hard to 'put off' sexual desire, but surrendering it helps living more of what He has for me you get peace from this. So sin in the end is just about laying it down. No ones asking you to do it in your own strength cause no one can.
And of Ham's kids, Sara?
When Jesus said to repent and believe, He really drew the line between fake Christians.

Hi🇯🇲
When you mentioned Josh Garrels and the Gray Havens my respect just went through the roof! I thought I was the only one who knew of them
Hello friend, how are you feeling today I hope you're strong enough? Well I'm using this medium to thank and appreciate you for your prayers and support to me all this year's may God bless and keep you Amen. Where are you from ?
So happy he said the gray havens. So underrated and amazing. Similar to Gungor in sound, visual story telling and style. Absolutely beautiful. Please listen to them
Love the questions and your feedback. The LGBT response was very interesting especially listening to the perspective of the Queer woman and how she views a Christians response to their lifestyle. It was so eye opening as far as hearing it from her rather than from Christians who assume sometimes. Jackie Hill Perry who is a Christian poet talks about this deeper in her book Gay Girl Good GOD and gives advice for how the church should approach the LGBT community. You also explained it very well too with how Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and pick up our cross and how God transforms us. Thanks for the content. I’m gonna go watch Part 2 now. Side Note: While you were talking, I couldn’t help but notice the sword in the back 😅

I thought i was the only one noticing that!
Your videos are soo great! , talking about controversial topics is hard but you do it in such an awesome way, sharing the truth with and in love. This is awesome!! Awesome channel dude!! :)
Thank you so much for this channel, since you are one of the few firm believers on UA-cam. Also, I totally agree with you on the grey havens...super underrated!
Here’s what I posted one the actual video. I was upset with how people are trying to belittle the Way.
Question 1:
Christian music isn’t that good because it is trying hard to catch the listener attention (as in saying what is wanting to be heard instead of needed) and not their attention ( as in the main thing). Christianity is not a club or fashion, it a LIFE STYLE.
Q2-3:
You can not practice homosexuality or anything that is not of God and be Christian. Not because I say or said you can’t, but because it is impossible. A Christian is one who wants to be with God, and to be, you have to follow! What I mean be this is, you can’t be In Sin or gay and be with God. Here’s proof- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Side note: guy who identifies as gay said that the guy in orange was leaving out stuff in the Bible (which he didn’t by the way) when he himself did the same. Acts 10:9-16.
Q4: No, God does not love everyone equally. What about Jacob and Esau? Malachi 1:1-3 The Kingdom of God isn’t Mr. Rogers neighborhood. We can’t interchange Mercy with love. Psalm 25:8-10. However, God doesn’t play favorites either. Deuteronomy 10:17. If you get confused in all this, just know that God is God. Meaning he can do what he wants. Who are we to say otherwise?
Q5: No! You can not date (assuming that’s leading to marriage)or marry anyone who is not a Christian. Why? Read it for yourself and understand well. Malachi 2:10-11 in response to what the guy in orange said, it is not beneficial to have a relationship/ hang around those who aren’t Christian. Why? Because it is easier to pull someone down than up just like basic physics. A friend is like a brother that isn’t blood related.
Q6: Sex outside of marriage is wrong. Why? Because 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Q7: Short answer- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10….
Also Matthew 7:21-23.
All of the right answers and responses can be found in the Bible, the very word of God. The same word the died, the same word that was,the same word that is and the one that always will be.
I really wish they got people to discuss actually theology and disputed doctrines 🤦♀️
LOL I thought it was gonna be Calvinism vs Arminianism or Pentecostal, charismatic etc.
So did I, apparently we can't get that deep 😅
Ikrrrr
Looking forward to part 2 :)
Next Thursday!
y'all need to get on that black gospel music and gospel rap. love me some marvin sapp, the winans, deitrick haddon, kirk franklin...
If I am a Christian should I only listen to gospel music cause honestly I like some gospel songs but I don’t listen to it all the time
1. Absolutely agree. I still listen to secular music now and then, but I have seen the effects music has had on my psyche that I generally only listen to Christian music. Then again, I only was introduced to it when I was 16 and I started with artists like Skillet, Red, etc. I have found such enjoyable music that I don’t really feel like I’m missing out on anything anymore. There is definitely lame Christian music, but there is also some really awesome music, too.
2. Have I doubted? Not really. My faith has definitely been tested, but I’ve never seriously doubted.
3. Yep pretty much what she said though I have fluctuated over the years. That is where I currently stand. Also, amen to all you said, too. Identity wrapped too much in the flesh. That’s exactly how it is.
God loves us no matter what. He created us this way and his love is unconditional. Don't change who you are as you will be ruining his hard work and efforts. You are made for great things. Don't doubt it. God loves you.
To truly be a Christian is to deny yourself and follow Christ. Be born again. Believe in Jesus and follow his commandments.
12:16 If you discard your earthly desires and create a relationship with God, your desires will begin to align more and more with God. Your earthly desires will become less desirable because you are wanted to do what you are called to do. Hope this makes somewhat sense.
2:59 - I agree. I couldn’t explain why I dislike much of Christian music, but this explanation resonates with me.
There’s 2 different Christians
1.Born Agains
2.Lukewarm/fake Christians
John 3:16. Simple as that. Stop.

Q1: Agree. It has a very calming feeling for me. It's not my mainstream music I listen to, but there's a few that I hold near and dear to my heart.
Q2: IDK if I should say Agree or strongly agree. There have been times, especially hard times, in the past that I've wondered if I'm believing the right way or if what I'm believing in is even real. Not so much the latter.
Q3:Strongly disagree. I know a whole group doesn't necessarily speak for one person, but with with what the LGBTQ has been pushing nowadays, it's hard to not look at someone who Identifies as LGBTQ and not wonder if they're just as radical as the ones on social media. Sadly, that's the kind of LGBTQ community I witness everyday.
I love a lot of christian music. RED, Wolves at the gate, Petra, Allies, Nine lashes, Ivoryline, Demon hunter, Disciple, Theocracy, etc.
Ah, I think I will probably enjoy this channel.
Your view on what it means to be Christian, while reacting to the 'have you doubted your faith' question rings similarly to my view on things.
It's not about making God how you want, but allowing God to mold you. Something like this. I'm not super articulate.
You can find Christian music your style you just have to know where to look. There is good Christian rap that I genuinely enjoy and it for sure brought me closer to God. Just remember what comes in your ears can affect your heart
That one girly who was all like “ the church made me feel hated due to my sexuality and I don’t feel that from God” God loves us despite our sins but we shouldn’t abuse his love like that! Of course your going feel loved by God because he dose love but that love should never be abused in that way!
If you love someone *despite* them being gay, that's homophobic because it implies that their sexuality is something negative.
@@Maksie0 it’s not and and dosen’t Imply that their sexuality is something that negative it’s saying that we love them despite their sexuality
@@kyceraxviolet But that's exactly what I mean. It's like saying you like someone "despite them being black". That would be racist, would it not?
@@Maksie0 but I’m telling that’s not what I mean I when I say it.

John 6:40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
I watch a lot of Jubilee middle ground videos, but I didn’t even bother watching these ones when they came out, because my first thought was “of course all Christians don’t think the same, that’s such a stupid premise 😂”
But the Christian music one is one of the most interesting “semi hot button“ issues in the Christian community. My perspective is that I don’t listen to any music I wouldn’t sing along to, because I won’t say or sing anything I don’t believe to be true. That cuts out a lot of secular music-but not all of it-AND more Christian music than you’d think!
I’d also like to point out that if you really put in an *effort to LOOK,* you can find Christian music in literally any genre you like.
I love rock ‘n’ roll and alternative, so I went searching for Christian music like that, and I’ve discovered so many incredible but small and little-known artists and bands!
The cross is very heavy. It is. I feel so sorry for those people... God help them. Changing is impossible without God's sovereignty.
Thank you for including Needtobreathe and the gray havens on your music list😂😂🤩
I'm glad there's a video about this and that you talk about how we all sin - that we're all fallen and dead apart from Christ no matter what we identify as or see ourselves as. We are all sinners until Christ, in His mercy, comes to us and saves us by His blood and we all are called to change and can only change by His Spirit.
A few of the topics/questions are really not about doubting 'your' beliefs but whether or not the Bible lines up with what 'you' believe. This applies for both sides of the argument. We first have to know that what we believe lines up with what the Bible actually teaches, then we have to have a heart that wants Jesus to get all the glory in whatever we do. So our goal is not confrontation, per se, but reconciliation with and surrender to Jesus will in the same way He surrendered to the Father's will in the Garden of Gethsemane, "not my will but yours be done."
Pride is a great hinderance to this end.
When you said that you liked the Gray Havens I got so excited!! Almost nobody knows who they are and I love them and their music so MUCH!!
I looooooove Gray Havens!! When I found them, my whole music life somersaulted into awesome 😍
I love Christian music, and Christian bands such as Darkness Divided and For Today.
When people think of Christian music they only think of the alternative worship style from Hillsong or Bethel music. However nowadays there’s multiple genres of music under that Christian umbrella including hip-hop rap Reggaetón etc.
Skillet doesn't make your list of bands you like?? No Switchfoot? smh
I’ve seen switchfoot 3 times in concert. A definite fav :)
I'm a rock fan, so Skillet, TFK, Red, etc.
I like Switchfoot, but I prefer Jon Foreman’s solo music.
Hey I love your videos, I'm so happy that there's someone who is reacting to controversial christian videos with the truth. But I would suggest to include your sources and bible verses in the video (to mention them or add them as a subtitle), so we can refer to God's word, study them as we listen to you with discernment.
Keep it up! God bless brother!
Absolutely LOVE the Gray Havens!
I am 32 years old and have been Christian since I was a child and I grew up in a Christian family, and they teach me to respect and to not judge others, I have atheist friends as well and muslims and jewish friends, all of my friends are kind people. One of my brothers was for a short while a non-christian, but my parents still respected him, and they was not embarest of him, and keep contact with him when he was a non-christian, and he was still a good person. God created us with a free choise, its against christianity to force people to become christians, and its illegal in christianity to prejudge others
We should all be humble and we should not feel worse or better than others. Christians are not a homogenous group of people, we are as different as people who are not Christians, we are individual people. Unfortunately, some Christians judge others, but at least as many non-Christians judge others, many Christians are also met with prejudice by non-Christians to the same extent than the opposite, simply saying that "Christians feel better than others" is generalizing and say and prejudiced in itself, I just wanted to explane how different us humans are.
Purely hypothetically, I might as well resemble an atheist as much as another Christian, it depends from person to person. The person I am most similar to is the person I have most in common with in areas other than religion, I am most similar to a person who has the same interests and hobbies and the same way of being, it could be another Christian person, but it could just as easily be a atheist or a Muslim. I am outgoing, like swimming, handball, field hockey, like to go for walks in nature, open to and talk about feelings with people I know, a little bromance personality, people who have the same personality and the same interests are the ones I most resemble, what we believe in the spiritual says little or nothing about personality
Christians and Muslims and Jews and all other religious people and atheists are just as different and individual as everyone else, we are not a "separate race, where everyone thinks alike or have the same personality», it does NOT EXIST a stereotype or typical christian, we’r all different people
No, no you are not, @Kristoffer Larsen , I agree.
A bit late, maybe, as schisms, infighting, bifurcation and sliding doctrine, has already occurred, in the last few hundred years, though? To some fairly messy results, too.
And DO we all have free choice - given Romans 8:30, Romans 9:12, Matthew 7:13, and Revelations 13:8? Honestly, I cannot tell. Less maybe than many angels had when they spontaneously chose to rebel, in a realm with no flaws, or a Fall, or 'glass darkly', and were not 'natural men' at time, either?
Sorry, that's from 1 Corinthians 2:14 - another verse relevant to free will concerns. I hope I did not confuse you?
I guess John 14:13, fulfilled, might make of this less confusing, but as said, Christians do vary a lot, historically. And sometimes accuse whole sects of not truly being ones, or feel they had to settle disagreements, in conflict?
But yes, I do agree with you, in every other respect, generally - so thanks.
Although things were kind of forceful, all the same, a few hundred years ago. And I don't think quite all of the old law got done away with, immediately, either.
@@chrissonofpear1384 I'm Norwegian, so it happens that I use some words a little incorrectly, since English is not my native language, I rarely use Google Translate, but occasionally to correct and to get the right words, and I see that I should be better at this comment field and I should have been more clever to use Google in that spesific comment. "Free choice" can mean the same in Norwegian as "free will". I mean people have a free will, God doesn't force anyone to be a Christian, because God is no dictator, if you don't want to be a Christian and don't want to have anything to do with God, then we have a free will (I say free choice in Norway).
1)Free will = Fri vilje
2)Free choice = Fritt valg / valgfritt
And «fritt valg» (free choice) can be used in the same way as «fri vilje» (free will)
A lot of things we do in life is regardless of religion, like I like to make food and swim and I like to be honest and open when I speak with good friends about things that is difficult in life, many straight men have a personality where they don’t like to talk about emotions things with their male friends (regardless of religion or secularism) so this is why I don’t relate religion to personality, personality is in our mind not in our religion
@@chrissonofpear1384 I also think that prejudice is about personality, not about religion. I think there can be many factors as to why some people are prejudiced. It's about personality, some are just like that without a logical explanation, some are like that based on bad experiences, or on how you've been taught to think, all regardless of religion or non-religiousness. Christians sometimes prejudice non-christians, and atheists sometimes prejudice Christians, it can go both ways, but its not Christianity or ateism that makes us behave this way, its the way one choose to treat others in life, its about that some people in the world don’t respect people that believe in something else than they do, and that is about having a personality that don’t respect that other believe differently than themself about religion or non-religiousness
@@kk440635NORWAY That's fair enough. But me, Judao-Christian religion, and free will, as a definition, have never fully seen eye to eye together, I'm afraid.
St Paul also, looked pretty prejudiced, to me. Heh-ho, though.
He might not have grasped that others do not see Romans 1:18 the same way, for one.
Never mind.
@@chrissonofpear1384 What I also would like to say, even what I am gonna say is completely off topic. Its about alcohol. I am a Christian, and I don’t drink, but the reason I don’t drink have nothing to do with my faith, I would’nt drink if I was an atheist either, and even if some people don’t drink and they base it on their faith, its up to them, its their choise, its nothing wrong with that either. I have never met a person in my life that are a teetotaller (a person that never drink) that judge a person that drink, regardless of faith. But I have met alot of people that drink alcohol (even from christians) that judge teetotaller. People that don’t drink alcohol don’t prejudge people that do drink alcohol (at least in a life of 32 years I have still not met a prejudiced teetotaller). I have Christian friends that drink alcohol, and I have Christian friends that don’t drink alcohol. I have non-christian friends that drink alcohol and non-christian friends that don’t drink alcohol. teetotallers are everywhere, not just by christians, but by every kind of people. Someone judged me some years ago, because I say «no thanks» in a party to alcohol, my atheist friend was there beside me, he is also a teetotaller, the host say «thats okey, I respect you» to my atheist friend, but the same host say to be «come on, why are you so prejudiced, you are not better than us» and I answer «did I ever told you that I was better than you?» and the host answerd «no, but its obvious» and than I say «why did you say that you respect the other person that say no thanks, but you did not respect me» and he say «because he is an atheist, he don’t drink, because he don’t like to drink alcohol, but you don’t drink because you think you are a better person than us»
Most non-Christians respect that I am an abstainer and do not like or drink alcohol, but there are still some who do not respect this, and then I realize that he are the one who are prejudiced (the host at the party), he are the one who feel better than the others. I choose not to drink, because I don't like the taste, I don't like the effect, I feel most comfortable by have 100% control over my body at all times. I have also been advised by the doctor not to drink due to health reasons
But why should I have a excuse not to drink? Why should I have to defend that I don't drink? Why can't I just say "no" and why won't they leave me alone, the drinkers?
I NEVER ask anyone WHY they drink, but I am often asked why I DON'T drink
I Am With You Always Matthew 28:20📖🙏🏾🛐❤️😇✝️
I'm late but i was glad to hear someone else likes the gray havens.
Such great explanations on hard topics 👍
Idk why the gay thing is so controversial. Nobody ever starts an argument over pornography, infidelity, or promiscuity that is so emotionally invested as homosexuality.
It's because noone is forcing anyone to be accepting and supportive of infidelity, pornography etc. Everyone for the most part acknowledges and accepts that they're wrong. But in the case of homosexually people are constantly forcing people to confirm to that mind set even forcing themselves into the churches and demanding that they church supports it. And if you refuse you get cyber bullied, fired, lose business deals, sued, persecuted etc. It hinders religious freedom and that's why the conversation is important to have especially as Christians.
@@tatiancarrington7446 that was my point. Society isn’t romanticizing things like prostitution or rejecting Christianity because it contradicts things like polygamy. They exclusively target Christianity due to its stance on homosexuality. It doesn’t make sense to me.
@@MattS-ov5zu it's purely a politicians game. Homosexuality became one of the talking points of the Democratic party during the Obama reelection campaign in 2011 and it's a very effective one
With all due respect, I think you should watch some videos about religious trauma in the church. You can start with “I thought Gay celibacy was my only option in the church” on Medium. When you are a teenager, everyone expects you to fall in love, asks you about it, supports you in it and condones it… But if you can’t fall in love or fall for the wrong person you feel like there’s something wrong with you, like you’re an alien or something. And that’s best case scenario. You can easily be disowned or abused as well, by Christians! Actually I am a straight, Bible believing Christian, but you do understand that Christianity also spread in Ancient Rome because people felt so sorry for us?
Also notice noone says they were straight. But one says they are gay, the other says they are queer
Wonderful Commentary
CityAlight is a fantastic and scripturally rich band if you ever get the chance.
Absolutely. I love CityAlight
In both Romans and 1Corinthians the Holy Spirit warns that no hmsxl will enter the kingdom and it's something that should never be done. Also lying, adultery and all sin. In Revelations it tells us all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. Before becoming Christian, I identified as a liar but now I'm following Christ I have to put off the old self.
We're to seek out own salvation with fear and trembling.
May Jesus bless you.
Great video!
13:38 It's as if since we acknowldged the wrong doing it brought a realization of the weight of the sin that was already within us. That is why we are called free in Christ when we repent. (just realization here) Then everytime we sin, we feel convicted and it brings the same weight as we once realized that we're sinners.
I absolutely love it. so relatable God bless
This is quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam channel 👏🏻👏🏻
God bless you bro
Questioning =/= doubting
another good artist is montell fish imo
OH MY GOSH! Is that Anduril from lord of the rings behind you?
Big dog, fancy meeting you here. I've been binging this man's content. He's got some good stuff
@@cadenjohnson1137 Indeed big dawg, but the sword!!!
@@pauldudley1200 I know!! It was literally the first thing I noticed.
You'd like NF, you like music talking about the hard stuff and being real, you'd like him
God used NF to get me through a lot of hard things.
10:45 your explanation made more sense to understand. I am not gay but i am still trying to understand a deeper meaning spiritually.
I had a realization, if myself from January 1st of 2020 saw who I am now, he'd be very much disgusted.
God has saved me from Sin, from lust. Instead of saying "you're asking me to forget who I believe I am" say "God is helping me leave my sin." It's not easy, the temptation is strong but the Love of God is stronger.
I think what may also affect the opinions on Christian music is that some artists seem to restrict their musical creativity and subject matter.
I also think that there are simply fewer Christian musical artists than in many popular genres of music like pop and rock (though yes, there are Christian versions of these). I may be wrong about that playing a role though.
This reminds me of a point Adam Neely made in his video about Christian music.
People who are possessed by the same spirit will not agree entirely but their goals will be in alignment because they're following the will of the Holy Spirit.
" We're Christians, but we're going to spend the whole video talking about every other group"- Every Jubilee Christian Video.
Great video!! God bless you!!!
Q1:Somewhat agree: I don’t personally feel a connection with most Christian music except for a select few that I get totally immersed. My favorite is Reckless.
Q2: Strongly Agree: Being a Christian is hard I have questioned from time to time throughout quarantine, I’m even questioning now but this channel is really helping me.
Q3: Disagree: I don’t support the LGBTQ community because it is against the Bible and my personal beliefs but like the lady in the yellow said that they are loved and welcomed to Jesus.
amazing videos man
just subscribed and loving your content.
A lot of confusion could be avoided if we just read Gods Word and trust that He knows what’s best for us.
For me when it comes to christian music I don't like it when they try to mimic worldy music like the the type of music they use and how the song is sung like some Christian music I've it's legit possible to dance to it at a club and if it's a type of Christian music you full on dance to like that ,then I won't consider it christian music
You did a good job on this thank you.
(9:17) this is the part of the Jubilee video that I never liked. Jasmine is misinterpreting Kytia's words and twisting them to mean something else, instead of listening. Kytia never said that God wants Jasmine to go to hell, that is how Jasmine took it. God doesn't want anyone to go to hell. Its frustrating to communicate when someone prefers to stay in their feelings rather than listen.
"Bombastic" guarantee I am going to have echolalia with that word for the rest of the day.
I find the background music really distracting. I have just found your channel and I’ve been bingeing it a little bit so definitely a constructive criticism not a complaint!
Yes they do have one big thing in common. They all disobey the Torah/Law. In their faith they are most important.
Who's capable of obeying the barbaric laws of the Torah anyway?
@@Mavors1099 Which laws exactly?
@@jacobtack2258
The ones that command to stone people.
@@Mavors1099 So what is your problem with that? Does not many countries still have the death penalty?
@@jacobtack2258
Only a psycho would ask what's the problem with stoning people. Get some help.
loved thus video!
If I may quote a famous man of great faith "but lord what will give me for a child, I remain childless" and "Lord, how will I know I will possess this land" and the same man laughed and said "shall a child be born to a man who is seventy years old? Shall my wife who is 90 bear a child" that man was Abraham, a man of great faith and he too doubted God multiple times, it is through our doubt we become more certain, because God answers our doubt, but he is the one who gives us the faith to believe
This is the kind of a man I need to marry 😂
Kinda creepy but ok😶
@@Peepee._.poopoorat not really. She was just commenting on his character
@@noahgarrett5195 nah but still kinda creepy
You have a claymore!!!
Great breakdown.
The difference between Christians and non Christians is that we are beggars telling other beggars where to find bread. Jesus is the bread. Come to him, deny yourself, and follow him. You must decrease and he must increase. God bless you to who ever reads this.
I'm digging the sword in the background.
I am only just now finding God and I have listened to NEEDTOBREATHE for ages, never realise they were Christian band!
Listening to them now it’s so obvious but before God Entered my life I was so blinded in my own world and ego that I never considered higher meaning
