Fellow gen z Christians, where you at? I'm cat 3, I fail a lot but I try, I don't want to let down God because he's done so much for me. He's not asking much of me but I just keep failing :/ Sorry for babbling on a bit 😅
I'm cat 4. God has assured me time and time again that he’ll lift me when I fall. Surely, if he continues doing that, then I have something valuable to him. My walk with Christ hasn’t been easy 😭 I’ve failed many times too! I never really realized it, but it was God's plan for me to build endurance in my faith. So trust me, you’re doing amazing!
Same here! A fellow gen z follower of Christ and also a cat 3.Still having doubts on things on how to hear God's voice, did i commit this sin? And other doubts honestly.
I felt absolutely HORRIBLE when I started thinking about my sins. I felt like a sinner, so I repented and I was almost immediately comforted and stopped crying because I knew the Lord forgave me for all of my sins and I felt happy again. Edit: during the time about thinking about my sins, I was crying of sadness and guilt
Just like a guilty criminal walks up to a judge and asks him to forgive the criminal of killing a family of 4, the judge may be like yeah sure I forgive you, but I still gotta give justice for your actions and so the criminal is still sentenced to prison. So shall be the same with you and me and everyone else, we shall plead god to forgive us, and he may be like yeah I do, but he still has to give justice or he won't be a just god (A god who is a judge and gives perfect justice). Paul the apostle said in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 = "9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[b] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." So those who broke the commandments of god (the 10 commandments) won't enter the kingdom, no matter how many times we say sorry. There is 1 thing god did to save us tho, we deserved to go to prison (hell) for breaking gods law, however god, in his love for us, sent his son Jesus to Earth to take the punishment we deserved upon himself. He took 100% of the punishment the whole world deserved on that cross. So we do not have to be punished for our sins. So if you die tonight and god asks you why should I let you into heaven? You tell him that Jesus took the punishment you deserved on the cross, so that you may be saved. And because Jesus took all your punishment, you don't have to experience any punishment and that's why he should allow you into heaven. And god will allow you into heaven, not because you did anything, not because you felt sorry for your sins, but because Jesus took the punishment you deserved in hell and put it on himself, suffering on these cross and dyeing. If you truly repent of your sins and believe that Jesus is the son of God who took the punishment you deserved for your sins on that cross and believe that he rose again from the dead, you will be saved. Then you will get the Holy Spirit to help you stop sinning and help you to follow what Jesus tells you to do, which is what someone who is truly saved will be doing regularly (following the teachings of Jesus, which is detailed in the New Testament).
I will say I feel like another theme of “cat 2” would people who say they’re Christian and tell others how to live a godly life and will then turn around and do the exact opposite without a second thought
Pharisees, but sometimes worse. Christ called them children of hell, sons of Satan, tares planted among the wheat. Not everyone sent to your church is Christian. Some are sent to test us and try to make us fail
I hope I'm Cat 3. I constantly struggle with my faith. I constantly doubt, and I do not want to be Cat 2, and that I'm deathly worried that I am. I really do hope that I have a relationship with Jesus, but I constantly worry that I don't, even if I pray and study with my wife. I really hope to be Cat 4 one day.
@@DemocracyOfficerWood I also struggle to think I'm cat 2 but I'm aware that no work can get you to heaven only faith and God's love alone. So maybe I'm just cat 3 after all.
I'm like a mix of 3 and 4. Like I trust God that I'll overcome my repeated sin, but I'm just scared that I sin too much with not much improvement. I'm afraid of being cat 2 if I'm too sure I'm cool with God.
That's been my experience for a lot of my life too. I thought about saying that 3 and 4 are a spectrum, and you're gonna gradually move towards 4 as you grow. The only reason I didn't put it in the video was because I ran out of time Thanks for the comment friend!
I feel like cat 3 right now cause in 7th grade this year I cussed and did lust almost every day at lunch with friends, and now I’m worried when I get back to school I’ll fail him again.
As a human Dad, I can safely say that I love my kids even when they mess up. I love you and want you to grow, learn and mature in your understanding. Bible says God loves you more than I do. Believe in a god who loves you better than I can (and why would you believe in a Heavenly Father who doesn't?). Messing up is part of the process of learning.
by far out of all the popular Christian youtubers you are my favorite. I can tell you have Jesus flowing through you. you've helped me out a lot today. I love you and god bless you
For cat three: You may be at a place in your faith where God is challenging you to focus on Christ and His church more than your own salvation and getting everything right. Faith can start with a question of our salvation, but we should ultimately end up more focused on Christ first.
I'm a 3-4 but I used to be a 2 for a while. I am now aware that I will never be or do enough to save myself and that a true relationship with Christ is the only way to salvation. Lord have mercy on me, a sinner.
I needed this video I basically switch between being cat 3 and cat 4 every other month (Obviously im not a cat part but you get what im saying.) Thank you and may God bless you.
I was really worried I didn’t have the spirit, and then I watched and realized I was a cat 3😂 may our lord Bless you ma’am. You make really funny and good Christian content.
@fijiblue9403 lil bit different instead of it being having the spirit and knowing if you're right with God it was by having the spirit and living righteously, Action vs heart. You kind of hit it in the video with cat 2, it's we can live righteous but spiritually be meh. I forgot the titles of the categories atm 😭
I am Cat 3, I love God with all my heart, but I also believe I have been disappointing him and have been doing many things wrong, I know it’s a part of the journey since I’ve only been born again recently. I really do want to be cool with my creator, and I’m working hard with my spirit to do so!
People sometimes think walking with Jesus is a walk in the park, its actually a run through the battle field with God and the holy spirit as a shield and helmet
I like the cat-egory metaphor. very easy to understand, well done! I am so thankful God loves us no matter what and no matter how many times we fail. As long as we have a genuinely repenting heart which is a product of true faith
it took me a while to become a cat4, i kept telling myself i was unclean and that even though i can be forgiven i shouldn't be forgiven. The Lord put the book of romans into my life and it helped guide me out of my depression thinking i was not worthy of the gift of salvation Christ provided me on the cross. Sometimes those old thoughts enter my mind when i sin or backslide, but i always remind myself of Biblical teachings and the words always get me out of the depression i feel when i sin.
I need to change myself. But changing myself sucks, and I REALLY don't wanna do it. All I want is to hear that I'm doing good by my own efforts and that I don't need to change a thing. I know that's not true factually, but it's not a fact I want to believe. How do I just switch my whole way of thinking like that?
Incredibly relatable my friend. Following God can be pretty undesirable at times. I think a good place to start is by asking God to change your heart and help you grow. It doesn't take much time or difficult action, but I have reason to believe if such a prayer is prayed genuinely, God will answer
I used to think that way my friend and I believe in you, you can get out of it . The way of my thinking of getting out of it was all my thoughts only lead me to desires which is wanting something but there is no love and God is love so then I went back to God . Desires cannot fill the gap in my heart until I remember I was loved by God since I was born so then I went back to God and the emptyness is gone . P.S Sometimes I still feel lonely but I pray to God and I feel comfort again and I remember that "loneliness" is a lie because God is love and God is always with me xd . I hope this helps you .
@JackLi-tl5dw So, I have a quick question, all of this could be heavily improved if I figure out how to truly love God with all my heart, soul, and mind? I want to achieve such a thing, because I don't think I love him as much as I could since i tend to force myself to read the bible and not really study it (i'm a pretty new christian and i'm having trouble with figuring what to do and have that strong faith and clarity on what to do to follow God and Jesus Christ, have the Holy Spirit with me, and be saved)
@calciumis that is reasonable I also begin like that I didn't like reading the bible but when I figure out God is love I notice perhaps even the love of my family the love of myself the love of my friends they are all given by God they are all a part of the love of God my opinion is you don't have to urge it my friend I used to dislike reading bible but yet I read like a verse a day only that time. It takes time to build a relationship with God .Also , this comes to my mind after my walk with Jesus for half a year later , perhaps acknowledging myself being loved by God and spread out the love to one and other is also a part of love of God. Reading bible requires faith given by God in my understanding . Finally , it is great that you want to love God more xd
Also, don't have to force yourself to read the bible , free wills also a part of love and about faith I hope this verse helps you ephesians 2 8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; 9 it is not from works, so no one may boast.
As a Christian, we (or at least the respectful ones) love u Cat 1’s!! Everyone deserves to be happy with their religion and Christians who force their religion on to non-Christians r HORRIBLE!! Have a nice day ❤😁
This was a very good and interesting video you did, and you did it in a funny way with the cats, thank you for these videos, God bless you and keep up with these helpful videos!
@@fiji.christianblue I was also wondering if you are planning on doing a video about some of the common problems within the christian communities? I dont know whats your thought on it but i say this beacause at least in my perspective i think theres a lot of division between christians of different churches (for example catholics and protestants), sometimes there are things that some practice that is wrong but i think many misjudge and dont understand some things the others do and think they are not saved due to certain practices even tho there are many of different churches that know the gospel and follow God but they just do it in a different way.
My small town is full of cat twos. Could you please pray for the people of my town to gradually transform into the identities the Lord has called them to? To wake up to their sin and recognize that they are not perfect independently? Thank you! I've been praying myself for ages, but it feels better praying with other people, because when two or three are gathered in his name, he will be there, and triple braided cords are not easily broken.
Well done! Glory to God! Watching and subscribing because my daughter shared this with me. You're touching the lives of so many people. More than you know! Keep going! Right now I feel like a cat 3, but you reminded me that a cat 4 is just a prayer away! God bless you, in Jesus' name! Amen!
I just watch your last video about legalism and licentiousness and i am a young Christian I just wanna say thank you so much for your grace and understanding for this video and last video you are truly sent by God thank you blue ❤
When I was younger- I was so confused…because my school and all my friends were religious but my family wasn’t…but thankfully overtime I have decided I’m agnostic! And im very proud 😊
I found this video with God's timing The other day I was asking God to make me enough for him. I really needed to hear that it's okay that I'm not. God bless you❤
i just wanna say that you feel like a godsend to me, because you put things in ways that i can process well i feel like a cat 3, i often doubt but then i look back on my life and realize that there have been moments where it just feels like god made everything fall into place for me (discovery of this channel being an example) and im rlly happy about that :]
Great to see small illustration based Christian Channels. God takes thinks that are lustful and sinful into something wonderful. God bless you. I wish you all the best.
Aw, you're such a sweet maiden of the Lord!😇 Hard disagree about the permanancy of our sin and "not being good enough-" I've met living saints, and I'm convinced we can all dispose of our sinful habits- but awesome job reassuring Christians struggling with self-doubt!
I’m a mix of cat 2 & 3. What I mean by that is I’m a cat 3 in the sense that I overthink and get scared I won’t get to heaven bc of my sins. Now the reason I mixed with cat 2 is because I also had the belief that it’s my actions that get me to heaven (legalism theology). This video helped me realize that’s wrong, and instead to just pray more for God to save me🙏🏼🙏🏼
New Christian here. Only a few months in and I needed this video bad. I struggle with shame and even fear because I can't stop sinning and I thought accepting Jesus would stop my sins. So I was convinced that either I hadn't done it right or maybe that Jesus decided I wasn't one of those he wanted or something.
I just hope I have a little star. uwu""""""""""" Twinkle Twinkle, divine star. Please don't let me stray to far~~~ Ahem! Cute as always! It's always a joy to see your videos.
Thank you very much, I think I needed this video a little bit. Like a lot of people in the comments, I’m sometimes a 4 but also sometimes a 3. It helped to here this explanation a bit more in depth, thank you and God bless you 😁
I love the videos from this channel. Such a calming voice, i love the artstyle, everything is made so easy to understand and to digest. I love this person
Please, if you do feel as a lost soul, be found. You recognize your own soul so don't let it drift to things that can do it no good. God is calling you home. I truly believe God put this video and people like us in your path because He wants you to come back to Him. Perhaps for the first true time.
you watched this video, which shows ur at least a lilll curious abt God :3 if i were you I’d write down exactly why SPECIFICALLY i believe in Atheism, and if I could disprove myself, then I’d reconsider things frrr? as a believer in Christ, i truly believe that if you search thoroughly, humbly, and honestly for the spiritual truth, you will be led to Jesus! also, dont lose hope
I think that I am 3 but I do have a real fear of being a 2. I just seem to not have very much burning passion as when I first converted, but I still do read and interpret the bible daily, and pray quite often. But ultimately the one thing I don't think I lack is conviction. I must put my trust in God that He will deliver me to heaven eventually by the time of death.
I am a mix of 3 & 4, one of the biggest things I’m trying to work for is a relationship with Jesus, yet I feel he is super duper distant. So distant that I really haven’t felt him be close.
Can people pray for me, I do follow Jesus, I am trying to repent, not worry, doubt or question God but it's hard. I am trying to have patience with my faith so it can grow but I have to learn patience with God, it's like holding onto Jesus but I'm scared, confused, yet trusting him.
mix of 3 and 4 (AND A BIT WORRIED I MIGHT BE 2) i feel like i'm not strong enough to do the things God wants me to i get angry way too easily i worry about not doing enough for God and i'm weak... very :')
I'm trying to memorize these 2 verses for whenever I struggle with doubt or I fall to sin maybe this will help someone to never give up: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
I waver between cat 3 and 4. But god is always with me. Right now im not sure if i really know god on a personal level. I feel like i used to. But recently i dont. I think about him all the time. I feel like i talk to him through prayer but he feels like a different person each time. Sometimes condemming. Sometimes loving. Different christians pull me different ways on who he is. Whether he is a god who saves you based on works and following him strictly. Which makes me feel terrible about my sin and also makes me want to change. But some pull me to a loving peaceful god. Who always loves me and wants me to grow into a better person . But that makes me feel like a lukewarm Christian. I think this video is the perfect balance between the two Thank you
You don't know if you are having a religious psychosis? I can assure you that you are having a very serious one. A NORMAL person has ZERO emotional connection to things that don't exist. I mean, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH. I never feel like I am or at least want to be connected to Santa Claus, ever. He is not on my mind. Neither is the Easter Bunny. ;-)
I was a little conflicted when you said for people who aren't interested in Christ to carry on, but on thinking that's a pretty causal way not to cast pearls before swine or give what is holy to the dogs. Someone who isn't looking for God isn't going to be convinced by any effort we can make. We can only pray for them.
I think for long I was a cat 2, than became a cat 3, overtime a cat 4 and now I'm really getting back into cat 3, let me explain. I'm young, I still have a lot of time to think about this so I think I will figure it out by when it will matter what I do but there might be a hidden 5th box when it comes to having the Holy Spirit that doesn't appear to everyone, that being the one true church, if there is one or if there isn't, I will need years of studying this to see it. It depends also on if a person has invincible or vincible ignorance, and I feel like mine is vincible so I want to do the best that can come from me to explore the truth and find out if it's "universal" or "the one catholic and apostolic orthodox" church and than wether it is catholic/eastern orthodox/orienthal orthodox/assyrian (tho the last 2 were already excommunicated and I don't see a big worry about them I'd still look into them), I also think even if the protestant idea of a "universal" church is true than there are some things that would force me to convert still and that puts me in a road with 3 major paths. 1 being the church I was baptized into, the Catholic church, the other being the church that is the majority in my country and kind of rivals, the Eastern Orthodox church, and the one that claims to be the friendly one but ultimately still falls in this race of holding truth, a bunch of protestant churches. For now I am focusing on self-improvement and I am becoming more active in the Catholic church, trying to become more humble to people and to God, I rather ask for God's will to be done than "good days", and I also ask Mary's and some saints intercessions from time to time and I'm reading the bible too, but I generally see all 3 sides to have a fair chance, and I want to unbiasedly discover all 3 of these options and chose myself once I grew up and have enough knowledge for it. Is anyone feeling the same? I think it's really important to think about these and do your research yourself always because your salvation as much as mine can depend on this. And I feel like ever since I discovered this this 5th checkbox will never go away, and I either will find the truth and join it or perhaps lose my salvation potentially either by my comfort zone or decieveing things or just not being honest with God. I pray to Jesus to guide me trough this dilemma and hopefully I meet Him at the right church in the right belief, but most importantly I want to meet Him in heaven if possible. I still NEVER can be 100% sure about my salvation.
Oh thank God you understand matthew 7 haha so many interpret it the wrong way. We should be overcoming sin yes but some believers may even be disciplined to the point of physical death but their soul will be saved i look at the 1 corinthians incest relationship verses to get this info. We will never be perfect in our current flesh thats why we need Jesus imputed righteousness. I worry about those who dont believe in once saved always saved i know some are cat 3's cuz i was questioning it for awhile, but some are cat 2's thinking they can earn salvation or lose it. but God doesnt break promises and He gives us faith in the first place.
I am cat four, but my entire family is full of cat ones. they are really good people so I want to bring them to the faith, but I do not know how. I am worried that evangelizing would be off putting to them. I talk about my faith sometimes and they are like "oh, that's interesting/cool" but I do not know how to get them to believe. can you give me advice?
My mom is a believer but doesn’t fully act on it, my brother is quite lost in sin. Im 18 and we lost my dad in November last year. I’ve been leading my family to Christ starting with relationship. Im building a better relationship with my mom and brother and I’m slowly introducing Christ and PRAYING FOR THEM!! There have been times where I’ve fallen to the same sin as my brother but you can’t do that. Im also being discipled myself so I can learn to disciple someone. Keep praying for your family and find ways to keep building your relationship. God loves all his creation. They will come to god I promise, keep going 🙏🙏✝️✝️❤️❤️
Guys, we can't force anyone to believe.. We all would want our loved ones to be saved, but what we can only do is to share our faith with them. Only they can make the decision.
I heard a story a monastic on the deathbed saw angels he begged them for more time they asked why "to repent" angels responded: "you have already repented" the monastic replies " I have not even started"
I really hope i am cat number 3, i do care alot about my faith in jesus, and i feel awful when i remember a sin i have commited in the past, but i often have doubts and confusion about my faith and belive, to the point were i am not sure if i am cool with god, it dosent help that i have problems with anxiety , i just cant figure it out😪
Fellow gen z Christians, where you at?
I'm cat 3, I fail a lot but I try, I don't want to let down God because he's done so much for me. He's not asking much of me but I just keep failing :/

No, its true. You're not babbling 😭

Same here! A fellow gen z follower of Christ and also a cat 3.Still having doubts on things on how to hear God's voice, did i commit this sin? And other doubts honestly.
I'd say I'm cat 3 and slowly but surely moving to cat 4, and to everyone reading this. Stay strong and remember Jesus Loves You.
I am blessed. God bless you, sister. God is calling you to speak to your generation.
It's pretty messy, but I do my best for Jesus. Thank you for your encouragement :)

I’m a mix of three and four 😭
I like the cat-egory metaphor. very easy to understand, well done!
I am so thankful God loves us no matter what and no matter how many times we fail. As long as we have a genuinely repenting heart which is a product of true faith
Doesn't love us enough to give any evidence for his existence or to keep 70% of the world's population out of the fiery depths of hell.
it took me a while to become a cat4, i kept telling myself i was unclean and that even though i can be forgiven i shouldn't be forgiven. The Lord put the book of romans into my life and it helped guide me out of my depression thinking i was not worthy of the gift of salvation Christ provided me on the cross. Sometimes those old thoughts enter my mind when i sin or backslide, but i always remind myself of Biblical teachings and the words always get me out of the depression i feel when i sin.
I’m cat 3 and when you said you said you will never be enough literally made me cry
I feel that friend
Underrated christian channel ❤ genuinely glad that God showed it to me
Thank you for this beautiful video! Im cat 3 😭 ✝️💟
Year Late, but thanks you sister for your kind words and making me sure that I'm on the right path, Remember Jesus Loves You.
I need to change myself.
But changing myself sucks, and I REALLY don't wanna do it.
All I want is to hear that I'm doing good by my own efforts and that I don't need to change a thing.
I know that's not true factually, but it's not a fact I want to believe.
How do I just switch my whole way of thinking like that?
Incredibly relatable my friend. Following God can be pretty undesirable at times. I think a good place to start is by asking God to change your heart and help you grow. It doesn't take much time or difficult action, but I have reason to believe if such a prayer is prayed genuinely, God will answer
I used to think that way my friend and I believe in you, you can get out of it . The way of my thinking of getting out of it was all my thoughts only lead me to desires which is wanting something but there is no love and God is love so then I went back to God . Desires cannot fill the gap in my heart until I remember I was loved by God since I was born so then I went back to God and the emptyness is gone . P.S Sometimes I still feel lonely but I pray to God and I feel comfort again and I remember that "loneliness" is a lie because God is love and God is always with me xd . I hope this helps you .
@JackLi-tl5dw So, I have a quick question, all of this could be heavily improved if I figure out how to truly love God with all my heart, soul, and mind? I want to achieve such a thing, because I don't think I love him as much as I could since i tend to force myself to read the bible and not really study it (i'm a pretty new christian and i'm having trouble with figuring what to do and have that strong faith and clarity on what to do to follow God and Jesus Christ, have the Holy Spirit with me, and be saved)
@calciumis that is reasonable I also begin like that I didn't like reading the bible but when I figure out God is love I notice perhaps even the love of my family the love of myself the love of my friends they are all given by God they are all a part of the love of God my opinion is you don't have to urge it my friend I used to dislike reading bible but yet I read like a verse a day only that time. It takes time to build a relationship with God .Also , this comes to my mind after my walk with Jesus for half a year later , perhaps acknowledging myself being loved by God and spread out the love to one and other is also a part of love of God. Reading bible requires faith given by God in my understanding . Finally , it is great that you want to love God more xd
Also, don't have to force yourself to read the bible , free wills also a part of love and about faith I hope this verse helps you ephesians 2 8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; 9 it is not from works, so no one may boast.
God Bless you sister! Your video reached Brazil!🙏
Thank you for being a good enough person to not cuss out cat 1's. i think i'll continue on my own path. thank you
@@banjofangirl3458 👍
As a Christian, we (or at least the respectful ones) love u Cat 1’s!! Everyone deserves to be happy with their religion and Christians who force their religion on to non-Christians r HORRIBLE!! Have a nice day ❤😁
This was a very good and interesting video you did, and you did it in a funny way with the cats, thank you for these videos, God bless you and keep up with these helpful videos!
Thank you friend! I worked really hard on it
@@fiji.christianblue I was also wondering if you are planning on doing a video about some of the common problems within the christian communities?
I dont know whats your thought on it but i say this beacause at least in my perspective i think theres a lot of division between christians of different churches (for example catholics and protestants), sometimes there are things that some practice that is wrong but i think many misjudge and dont understand some things the others do and think they are not saved due to certain practices even tho there are many of different churches that know the gospel and follow God but they just do it in a different way.
I haven't even finished the video yet, but just let me say with how lovely your drawings are. I love the design you have for yourself.
Aww thank you so much
My small town is full of cat twos. Could you please pray for the people of my town to gradually transform into the identities the Lord has called them to? To wake up to their sin and recognize that they are not perfect independently? Thank you! I've been praying myself for ages, but it feels better praying with other people, because when two or three are gathered in his name, he will be there, and triple braided cords are not easily broken.
This is really helpful. I understand things well when explained through archetypes, and your categories is a great idea. I'm saved by never doubting
"The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty." -Ann Lamott
You have helped me so much with my connection with God, and I will maintain this relationship with him. I thank you, may the lord be with you.
Well done! Glory to God! Watching and subscribing because my daughter shared this with me. You're touching the lives of so many people. More than you know! Keep going! Right now I feel like a cat 3, but you reminded me that a cat 4 is just a prayer away! God bless you, in Jesus' name! Amen!
Wow this was really good!
Thanks friend! I worked really hard on it
Thank you so much this helped me sooooo much! ❤
Thanks for your video! You explain so well! ✝️
Thank you!
I just watch your last video about legalism and licentiousness and i am a young Christian I just wanna say thank you so much for your grace and understanding for this video and last video you are truly sent by God thank you blue ❤
One of your best.
You really think so? :0
@@fiji.christianblueit’s fact girl, all your videos are so good and I come back to them everytime
Aw this is adorable and I absoluty love it, thank you for your little Ministry 😁 glad I found it,
Grace and Peace be with you!!
When I was younger- I was so confused…because my school and all my friends were religious but my family wasn’t…but thankfully overtime I have decided I’m agnostic! And im very proud 😊
I found this video with God's timing
The other day I was asking God to make me enough for him. I really needed to hear that it's okay that I'm not. God bless you❤
God bless❤!
i just wanna say that you feel like a godsend to me, because you put things in ways that i can process well
i feel like a cat 3, i often doubt but then i look back on my life and realize that there have been moments where it just feels like god made everything fall into place for me (discovery of this channel being an example) and im rlly happy about that :]
Great to see small illustration based Christian Channels. God takes thinks that are lustful and sinful into something wonderful. God bless you. I wish you all the best.
i'm personally not religious but this was very interesting to watch, keep doing what you do miss
Your description of sanctification touched my heart as you hit the nail on the head❤
God bless honestly thank you for this video blue God bless you and your family amen
Thank you for this Lord and Thank you for making this video ❤ Amen 🙏🏾 ✝️
Aw, you're such a sweet maiden of the Lord!😇 Hard disagree about the permanancy of our sin and "not being good enough-" I've met living saints, and I'm convinced we can all dispose of our sinful habits- but awesome job reassuring Christians struggling with self-doubt!
I’m a mix of cat 2 & 3. What I mean by that is I’m a cat 3 in the sense that I overthink and get scared I won’t get to heaven bc of my sins. Now the reason I mixed with cat 2 is because I also had the belief that it’s my actions that get me to heaven (legalism theology). This video helped me realize that’s wrong, and instead to just pray more for God to save me🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for expliaing im trying to understand but you make it better! :D im stilll finding my way but ty fir helping me!
Almost spit out my food with the horn sound to intro the first cat. Unexpected 😂
@nebricback1430 sorry about that 😂
New Christian here. Only a few months in and I needed this video bad. I struggle with shame and even fear because I can't stop sinning and I thought accepting Jesus would stop my sins. So I was convinced that either I hadn't done it right or maybe that Jesus decided I wasn't one of those he wanted or something.
This video is great, especially that whole part about Cat 3. That's me
I just hope I have a little star.
uwu""""""""""" Twinkle Twinkle, divine star. Please don't let me stray to far~~~
Ahem! Cute as always! It's always a joy to see your videos.
Thank you very much, I think I needed this video a little bit. Like a lot of people in the comments, I’m sometimes a 4 but also sometimes a 3. It helped to here this explanation a bit more in depth, thank you and God bless you 😁
Thank you for sharing helpful things. May God bless you.
Yeah… i needed this video… thanks…
I love the videos from this channel. Such a calming voice, i love the artstyle, everything is made so easy to understand and to digest. I love this person
I love your videos do more of them please!🥰🥰
Thank you, I will!
I think this helps me verify that I'm blessed by the lord with the spirit
God bless yall
God bless you
I love this! Very well explained! Thank you!! ❤
I'm atheist because i completely lost my faith in god and i believe i am a lost soul. But ye preety cool video, hartenny approved :)
Please, if you do feel as a lost soul, be found. You recognize your own soul so don't let it drift to things that can do it no good. God is calling you home. I truly believe God put this video and people like us in your path because He wants you to come back to Him. Perhaps for the first true time.
What are your doubts? Ask away if you want, or alternatively I can point you to some channels that can answer most of your doubts.
you watched this video, which shows ur at least a lilll curious abt God :3 if i were you I’d write down exactly why SPECIFICALLY i believe in Atheism, and if I could disprove myself, then I’d reconsider things frrr? as a believer in Christ, i truly believe that if you search thoroughly, humbly, and honestly for the spiritual truth, you will be led to Jesus! also, dont lose hope
This video transformed me from a cat 3 to a cat four
I really love your videos and I think this channel deserves more attention 💗💗💗
Aww thank youuu
Man...
I'm really close between cat 2 and 3😅
cat 1 here, just wanted to say i like the lil artstyle :D
@@studbilly Thank you!
I believe that I’m probably a cat 3, but I’m working towards being a cat 4.
when i was younger i used to be cat 2 but later on i started to be cat 3 he actually changed me
I really like Cat 3s design, it makes sense.
I think that I am 3 but I do have a real fear of being a 2. I just seem to not have very much burning passion as when I first converted, but I still do read and interpret the bible daily, and pray quite often. But ultimately the one thing I don't think I lack is conviction. I must put my trust in God that He will deliver me to heaven eventually by the time of death.
i love you channel keep up the good work ❤
I am a mix of 3 & 4, one of the biggest things I’m trying to work for is a relationship with Jesus, yet I feel he is super duper distant. So distant that I really haven’t felt him be close.
1:32 This creature wearing the hat (not the cat) is the definition of "oh brother this guy stinks."
Without watching I can say I’m cat 3, I’ll never be good enough for God, but only if He says the word, my soul shall be healed
We're His little sheep, blue
I feel like i am cat 3, but for 1, i got a check. 2 i got 1/2 a point and 3 and 4, a check. I feel like the holy spirit inside of me is guiding me.
Can people pray for me, I do follow Jesus, I am trying to repent, not worry, doubt or question God but it's hard. I am trying to have patience with my faith so it can grow but I have to learn patience with God, it's like holding onto Jesus but I'm scared, confused, yet trusting him.
The people who gave you a religious psychosis were very successful. They totally screwed you up.
@@lepidoptera9337bro stop saying people have religious psychosis wth
oh the chainsaw was so real. that is EXACTLY what it feels like
I was a 2, I'm now a 1
Aw :/
If you’re happy and comfortable with the way you are, that’s what really matters! Have a good day friend 🫶
@@koalakris5613 his eternity is at stake, i don't think that's what matters
Hey can i ask why you’ve lost faith?
I feel like everyone misunderstood my statement. I thought I was saved, but I now know I'm not
mix of 3 and 4 (AND A BIT WORRIED I MIGHT BE 2)
i feel like i'm not strong enough to do the things God wants me to
i get angry way too easily
i worry about not doing enough for God
and i'm weak... very :')
I'm on 3 and I can relate
I'm trying to memorize these 2 verses for whenever I struggle with doubt or I fall to sin maybe this will help someone to never give up: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
with number 3, with the second question my answer was/is I don't know
I waver between cat 3 and 4. But god is always with me. Right now im not sure if i really know god on a personal level. I feel like i used to. But recently i dont. I think about him all the time. I feel like i talk to him through prayer but he feels like a different person each time. Sometimes condemming. Sometimes loving. Different christians pull me different ways on who he is. Whether he is a god who saves you based on works and following him strictly. Which makes me feel terrible about my sin and also makes me want to change. But some pull me to a loving peaceful god. Who always loves me and wants me to grow into a better person . But that makes me feel like a lukewarm Christian. I think this video is the perfect balance between the two
Thank you
You don't know if you are having a religious psychosis? I can assure you that you are having a very serious one. A NORMAL person has ZERO emotional connection to things that don't exist. I mean, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH. I never feel like I am or at least want to be connected to Santa Claus, ever. He is not on my mind. Neither is the Easter Bunny. ;-)
cat 3 looks like a cat with scrupulosity
I was a little conflicted when you said for people who aren't interested in Christ to carry on, but on thinking that's a pretty causal way not to cast pearls before swine or give what is holy to the dogs.
Someone who isn't looking for God isn't going to be convinced by any effort we can make. We can only pray for them.
Cat number one
*ominous sound*
I kekked
This is a gem!
I love this so much, thank you a million times
I think for long I was a cat 2, than became a cat 3, overtime a cat 4 and now I'm really getting back into cat 3, let me explain. I'm young, I still have a lot of time to think about this so I think I will figure it out by when it will matter what I do but there might be a hidden 5th box when it comes to having the Holy Spirit that doesn't appear to everyone, that being the one true church, if there is one or if there isn't, I will need years of studying this to see it. It depends also on if a person has invincible or vincible ignorance, and I feel like mine is vincible so I want to do the best that can come from me to explore the truth and find out if it's "universal" or "the one catholic and apostolic orthodox" church and than wether it is catholic/eastern orthodox/orienthal orthodox/assyrian (tho the last 2 were already excommunicated and I don't see a big worry about them I'd still look into them), I also think even if the protestant idea of a "universal" church is true than there are some things that would force me to convert still and that puts me in a road with 3 major paths. 1 being the church I was baptized into, the Catholic church, the other being the church that is the majority in my country and kind of rivals, the Eastern Orthodox church, and the one that claims to be the friendly one but ultimately still falls in this race of holding truth, a bunch of protestant churches.
For now I am focusing on self-improvement and I am becoming more active in the Catholic church, trying to become more humble to people and to God, I rather ask for God's will to be done than "good days", and I also ask Mary's and some saints intercessions from time to time and I'm reading the bible too, but I generally see all 3 sides to have a fair chance, and I want to unbiasedly discover all 3 of these options and chose myself once I grew up and have enough knowledge for it.
Is anyone feeling the same? I think it's really important to think about these and do your research yourself always because your salvation as much as mine can depend on this. And I feel like ever since I discovered this this 5th checkbox will never go away, and I either will find the truth and join it or perhaps lose my salvation potentially either by my comfort zone or decieveing things or just not being honest with God. I pray to Jesus to guide me trough this dilemma and hopefully I meet Him at the right church in the right belief, but most importantly I want to meet Him in heaven if possible. I still NEVER can be 100% sure about my salvation.
Oh thank God you understand matthew 7 haha so many interpret it the wrong way. We should be overcoming sin yes but some believers may even be disciplined to the point of physical death but their soul will be saved i look at the 1 corinthians incest relationship verses to get this info. We will never be perfect in our current flesh thats why we need Jesus imputed righteousness. I worry about those who dont believe in once saved always saved i know some are cat 3's cuz i was questioning it for awhile, but some are cat 2's thinking they can earn salvation or lose it. but God doesnt break promises and He gives us faith in the first place.
informative video keep doing the work of god
I am cat four, but my entire family is full of cat ones. they are really good people so I want to bring them to the faith, but I do not know how. I am worried that evangelizing would be off putting to them. I talk about my faith sometimes and they are like "oh, that's interesting/cool" but I do not know how to get them to believe. can you give me advice?
Same:(
Im struggling with this too.
My mom is a believer but doesn’t fully act on it, my brother is quite lost in sin. Im 18 and we lost my dad in November last year. I’ve been leading my family to Christ starting with relationship. Im building a better relationship with my mom and brother and I’m slowly introducing Christ and PRAYING FOR THEM!! There have been times where I’ve fallen to the same sin as my brother but you can’t do that. Im also being discipled myself so I can learn to disciple someone. Keep praying for your family and find ways to keep building your relationship. God loves all his creation. They will come to god I promise, keep going 🙏🙏✝️✝️❤️❤️
Guys, we can't force anyone to believe.. We all would want our loved ones to be saved, but what we can only do is to share our faith with them. Only they can make the decision.
I heard a story
a monastic on the deathbed saw angels
he begged them for more time
they asked why
"to repent"
angels responded: "you have already repented"
the monastic replies " I have not even started"
I really hope i am cat number 3, i do care alot about my faith in jesus, and i feel awful when i remember a sin i have commited in the past, but i often have doubts and confusion about my faith and belive, to the point were i am not sure if i am cool with god, it dosent help that i have problems with anxiety , i just cant figure it out😪
Absolutely love your aesthetic and channel!!
Thank you so much!!
