Excellent, I am truly blessed with this message.
Thank you so much, @shalom_glv7!
I'm grateful this message has touched you. Stay blessed! 🙏✨
I would have thought a Christian atheist is one who doesn't believe God exists but acts as though he does.
@@JSW9174 I feel seen.
For all of you who don't like his words, video or title... why don't you write a book or books, build a following through obedience to God, dedicate your life to living as such, make numerous videos, stand up to the criticism and love those who criticize you during the whole process and then see if those who are seeking real answers follow you! The bottom line is Pastor Craig doesn't have to answer to you, me or anyone (unwillingly) but to God, the creator, who by the way, created YOU!
BAH ! BAH !
EXCELLENT ANSWER!!!!!!!!
Dear Pastor Craig and everyone in the LifeChurch family,

It's the snake oil.
Ok 4 minutes in and I realise this video isn't for me. I don't believe in God but I see the value in living a Christian life and putting value in Jesus' teachings.
I was a minister for 25 years. I finally realized that I am atheist. I now consider doubt as a virtue, especially when seeking truth. I was asked to serve as a deacon in my church, even after I told them that I do not believe in miracles, and that faith is not a way to truth.
J T G I feel exactly the same way. Were you searching for something on Christian Atheism? Did you find anything? I'm also looking for something on Christian Atheism...
I was always rebellious and from. What I get out of Christian ATHIEST are the one who came into the world feeling like we're raised in hell.. had my whole life w out a father- had a period where my mother left after dropping me off at the fair..so even tho I believed.. I felt so much anger why even bring me into this world I'd rather not be thought of!! It's hard to overcome the life of being raised with alcohol and drugs.. BUT LIKE CRAIG SAID- I NEVER KNEW JESUS AT ALL. I AM NOW IN MY 30'S I BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO BE FORGIVEN! MY LIFE WAS A MESS AND CRAIG IS THE 1ST TO HELP ME FIND PEACE AND FORGIVENESS WITH JESUS! I AM FEELING MY TRANSFORMATION WITH MY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS. I PRAY EVERYONE COMES TO THE THE CHRISTIAN ATHIEST WITH COMPASSION!!! THE SPIRIT OF EMPATHY!!!
Thank you for sharing your story!
this teaching can revolutionalize our lives! this really applies to me personally!
Just came across your channel, I know I'm not going to make it, but I need my love ones not to perish, but come to know Jesus intimately
Hi Elaine, we would love to talk with you about what you're facing as well as pray with and for your family to know Jesus! We have people that would be honored to hear from you at live.life.church! Please come here and request prayer with us!
Jas - LC Pastor
I think he got the definition backwards
I got into it until he started judging, I think God is ot about rules, he clearly showed us that in the New Covenant, it is not about rules, do not judge atheists that way, I used to be one, in fact I feel I am still a bit atheist.
It's not about rules, but God has standards of behavior. There are things that He considers sin. The pastor isn't judging; he is telling you that some things are unacceptable to God. In order to follow God in a way that pleases Him, we need to know what those things are. We cannot say that we want to live for God but then do whatever we want.
@@misspriss2482 amen
You have the definition of Christian atheism wrong: A Christian atheist is one who believes in the message of Jesus, but not in the supernatural aspects made up around it by the church.
There is not a single definition of Christian, but here's a fun fact: Romans called them atheists long before they were called Christians, because the didn't worship ant gods.
Is there a book about this? I think this message is wrong too.
@@hjeffwallace why would you expect most people to care or know about the truth they're quite comfortable with their preconceived notions of reality after all just like heroin it makes me feel good what could possibly go wrong
@@notbob8252
That's what some idiot dictator said about religion: "an opiate (heroin) for the masses". That's not the reason why Christianity is the biggest religion in the world, just to make the masses "feel good". The ministry of Jesus was mainly concerned with bringing the "kingdom of heaven" down to earth (in a spiritual sense). A kingdom were righteousness dwells in the hearts of man. Looking at the world today, the kingdom could do with expanding out to the heathen, Islamic, and non Christians nations. The muslims believe in blowing themselves up in the false belief that they will end up in heaven after an act of terrorism. Christianity teaches the opposite. It's the belief of bringing the heavenly realm DOWN to earth (spiritually speaking), so heaven and earth overlap with each other producing a "heavenly earth" of righteousness.
nice talk. this is actually happening in the whole world
Should probably swap the words around. He seems to be talking about THEISTS... that are “kind of” Christian. I think a Christian atheist is someone who actually doesn’t believe in a god but follows Christian rituals and values participation in that religious community... maybe because that’s the community he/she grew up in.
This is the first message I ever saw.
Favorite message/book!
I think Jesus would work out too if he were to come back now.
there halfway there..just gotta do some research and toss the belief as well
we are not on this earth to complete our own work to prove we can be good enough.
Great word!
Powerful
Horseshit. Ends justify the means argument.
Amen..
Amen..
He is so Good..
I'm, I think, the total opposite. I honestly don't believe in God or afterlife despite wanting, but I try to live as though God (the loving, caring kind) does exist.
Does anyone think that they would considered evidence against their God if scientists ever created life in a laboratory??
If not what evidence would they need
@@notbob8252 Nope, but because in order to create life in a laboratory, what would they start with? Material created by God. There's an old joke that plays into this. God and a scientist are debating about who can create a man. When the scientist reaches down, God tells him: get your own dirt. Same premise. Even if a scientist can create life in a laboratory, they would have to start with something that they don't have the power to create: an ovum and sperm. Just a thought.
Atheist Christian doesn't exist. Either you are a Christian, or an atheist. Can't be both. But there is a lukewarm Christian; Revelation 3:15-16
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (v1)
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue the out of my mouth.
V1 And unto the angel of the church in Sar´-dis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest , and art dead.
Me seeing all the cruelty in life has always made me more upset with God!! I always tried so hard to pray for the end of the world to get it all over with for the future people that have to go to hell and burn. But I now understand that life hasn't ended yet because he's trying to save everyone
Robbie,
I want to thank you for sharing something so personal. This is an example of how God is using you! Jesus came for the wounded, the sick, the misunderstood, the broken, and the hurting. He chose His disciples, and all of us imperfect followers. Yes, He loves us and wants to save us all!
“even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus. This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”-and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life.”
1 Timothy 1:13-16 NLT

"Known by God"...isnt He all knowing?
Yeah if God's everywhere how is it possible to even have a relationship without him or to exist without God of God is everywhere this logic is it really making much sense when you put into context of religion
You can search for understanding but will never find it because you do not have the spirit within you. Even read the Bible 100 times.
We serve a God who can not be told, he has to be revealed.
Although I understand the message conveyed, it is misleading to represent it through this title. In essence it is an oxymoron because a Christian is a follower of Christ and has the belief of God, an atheist is one who either disbelieves or lacks a belief in God or any higher governing power. The matter of someone who claims belief in God and lives without regard to God more closely resembles the faith without works and works without faith. Also, that as a follower of Christ it is the responsibility to live as a bond servant, that our life is no longer our own, but belongs to God.
anramos9 You are somewhat correct but that is the point. Titles in any of there forms are supposed to be attention grabbing (which this one does for anyone who has an idea about Christians or atheists). And the point of it was to be an oxymoron because those things also make people do double takes. The title has done its job well.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_atheism
The title is repulsive at how stupid it sounds. It's not an oxymoron, it is plainly a logical contradiction. If you are atheist, you cannot call yourself Christian, likewise if you are christian, please don't offend us actual atheists by saying something as idiotic as "christian atheist". Pick up some books on philosophy and stop being so epistemically irresponsible.
This man apparently does not know what Christian Atheism even is. He is making a Business out of it no different than fundamentalists do with standard Christianity.
Yeah, that's not what Christian Atheism is, lol. A Christian Atheist is someone who follows the ethical teachings of Jesus, but doesn't believe in supernaturalism. You can't simply take a historical term which has meaning and redefine it to mean something completely different, that is called Nominalism.
welp. it's official. i suck.
this meaningless marketing-catch should simply be "ignorant christian" or even simpler "unpracticing christian"
christian atheist is a christian without the bullshit of faith .. everything is the same, but the reading and understanding is different, just faithless, and yes! .. the biblical story was all right and correct to begin with; but then primitive mind wrapped that with magical muthical explanation as such that the original story starts to be put backward at the background and the mythical wrap moves forward as though *that* is the story!!
so christian atheist rereads this story and clean them up from the faith-based irrationality, and hold the universal truth of the story
Lol what 3/4? 7/10? Pretty sure those numbers are wrong now but whatever.
7 out of 10 people is that worldwide cuz that can't possibly be true. Did you mean 7 out of 10 Americans??
I would have to say that if you asked a hundred people with the teachings of Jesus were what they meant you would get probably a hundred different answers, so if everyone has their own idea of what the teachings mean and their view on the Bible itself how do you come up with the consistent understanding of reality??
I think the truth is is that the majority of Americans make believe in God because it makes them feel comfortable to say it in public there's very little to criticize when people talk about the road of Faith
do you think that maybe these people are losing their indoctrination rather than you labeling them quote Christian atheist don't you think it would be more honest for you to talk about the way they came to this realization of their own views??
You seem to be making a lot of assertions
Are you talking about living in fear of something that you haven't even proved exist so what's the difference in being afraid of something thatyou made up of being afraid of something that never shows itself??
They exaggerate and lie about everything.
what if I am an atheist, but believe in the word of Jesus.. How do I call myself!!??
Christian Atheist
I think it's funny what stupid excuses people make up in order to stay religious.
If you're visiting these videos and making comments, you're clearly seeking. I pray that God was able to reach you.
