I'm a muslim and this is nonsense, it's mainly directed to the christians, she talked so much on history of christianity because we all know that chsrtianity is not consistent. why didn't she tried to do the same for Judaism and Islam. because judaism is not a missionary religion anyway and Islam is hard to find contradictions in it. this whole thing of new cult called "Unitarian Universalism" only goal to turn people back on their religion. I mean if someone says like she did "if God is good than no one goes to hell" well where is the morality in that, are you telling that person can murder and do anything immoral on earth and still go to heaven ? where is the restrictions ? so i'm just gonna believe there is one God and you're not adding anything to it that makes it just an empty religion. i don't believe in christianity, i don't believe in trinity and jesus as god but i still believe there is some truth in christianity because there are god fearing christians and that's the most important. even in Isalm, we teach that the only thing we must fear is Allah and that's what imposes morality because no matter how powerful you can get on earth, Allah will always be more powerful so you must fear him and not use your power to commit bad things on earth
For an excellent account, see the Wikipedia piece on Unitarian Universalism. And to get the flavor of the worship experience, very many congregations have their services live as Zoom webinars and recorded on UA-cam. All Souls in Kansas City does this well. My own congregation, White Bear UU in the Twin Cities, is getting better at it.
Jesus Christ said " I am the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me." And " unless a man is born again. He cannot see the kingdom of heaven."
@@lucilovecraft1621 hell is a place that is away from God. Thats all hell is. Do you believe we have a spirit? That voice in our heads that even in when having a brief sleep apnea when your brain is asleep and your body cant be moved part of you wakes up and tries to wake up the body. Your inner spiritual mind. Do you believe in that? I believe it because i seen them as a child. They were about 4 of them and a one woman. Having a conversation. They didnt know i was standing there and i was fronzen cold scared. Lady sees me turns to the others and nods her head in a way as saying look over there. The 3 gentlemen look at her as to say what?? As they turn their heads toward me they get up and run towards the wall. I shout to my mom screaming and running with the thought they are behind me as i run. I grab my mom hard screaming and screaming even after i reached her. I never forget that event. Bible says demons are just spirits without bodies. They dwell in others. In the bible two man ran into Jesus in their walk and they knew Jesus was going to cast them out when he saw them so they pleaded. Please if you cast us out at least cast us into the pigs that were there. So he did. Seems to me that life after death is terrible without a body that they had to cry out to at least cast them into pigs.
@@lucilovecraft1621 It’s the same for the trinity it didn’t get established until 450 ad the early Christians believed in one God even Jesus as he says in Mark 12:29 the first and greatest commandment is 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Of time deserving of the crimes you have done and to a certain extent but then the fire does Burnout Jesus says that they'll be as ashes underneath my feet that's what Seventh-Day Adventists believe that is not an eternal fire but a fire that burns you until it destroys you but it's not Everlasting Don't get me wrong I agree with Unitarian belief as far as Jesus not being God but they have a lots of era in their teaching like for instance they don't want a weekly Sabbath because they claim they don't know when the beginning Apparition started and if you're a Christian you believed the world was done in 7 days and in the first day with the beginning creation and end the last day was the end and they act like they have no idea when is written so plainly in the scriptures this is not a Christian Church this is a multi Universal Church of religion me and you could be Buddhist and you'll be saved Jesus says the way to get to heaven into the heavenly father is through his son for he is the life and whoever does not believe the Son of God is one who came to redeem them and who should be worship they are not redeem and they do not receive life It is so hard to find a church that actually sticks to everything the Bible says it's so hilarious that church does not exist on this Earth for instance there are many churches that preach that you go straight to heaven when you die but the bible really says that you rest in the grave until the Awakening when Christ returns for the people who are falling asleep in him and to raise to the sky to meet the Lord in the air but then you have churches of priests otherwise but abbey church has an error it's sad and true

I went to a UU service about 10 years ago and they wanted any newcomers to introduce themselves. I was one but I was considerably uncomfortable with the idea of introducing myself to a group of strangers. I was told afterward that they just wanted me to stand up and say my name but they didn't push me any further than that. Don't feel pressured to engage any more than you feel comfortable doing.

From the beginning of Adam and Eve in the Garden, God, gave laws to both Adam and Eve about what is lawful and not acceptable. There were no immediate threats to their person, if the disobeyed, but consequences if these laws were not followed. Unitarianism seem to allow choices that have no negative consequences. Naturally humans, like children want pleasure without pain, but there is no such animal. Lust is always packaged in pleasure that the gods always promise their disciples plenty of if they are worshipped humanely, not spirtually, which cannot be measured by reason. Therefore, lust, will always be desired over, a “pie in the sky” ideal. The history of Adam and his posterity, is a history of lust, war, and theft, justified by each god, the version of history creates to justify their rational concept of “human rights”.
The thing that I found to be most objectionable about this church is that it is far too political. The people that I came in contact with at my local church tended to be socialists and social activists with an anti-capitalist agenda. Also, I found many of them to be closed minded when they were confronted with facts that went against their belief systems. For example; me, as a free thinking Libertarian was not welcome within their social circle and that was fine because I had better places to go.
What I’ve heard here just now, resonates so well with what I’ve been always thinking about. How liberating it is to hear the names of Origen and Pelagius without those gruesome titles of being heretic ? but with the honorable apellations of being the ancestor ? So that’s the point, I think, the difference is being closeted, or being openly accepting and manifesting, and, of course it’s a lot healthier and fun, when you opt for the latter. Though I was more inclined to what I was hearing about Origen, as long as one remains in the traditional boundary, you can’t be ok about yourself, have to hide yourself, keep one’s actual belief secret, like it’s sin. By calling onself « a Unitarian », by giving oneself that name, now you have this revolution, no more hiding, but coming into the light and revealing. How awesome should it be ? And naming was the Adam’s business. I haven’t joined the congregation yet. I think I will soon.
I would also like to know how it went. I must say this minister (the Rev. Angela Herrera) sets a really high bar. She's one of the best preachers in the denomination.
This was beautiful. I’ve been on a spiritual path for some time, and just haven’t found anything that felt right. This feels right. Also, I’m sure you’re used to it, but the hate in these comments is overwhelming. As you quoted, “if god is good, and is love, then no one is going to hell”. ❤️❤️❤️
you've likely read little on the subject from historical orthodox Christian sources; As someone has said the doors of hell are locked from the inside. what if there is one true God-- and God’s action in this pattern are: “If what you really want is existence outside Me, outside My will, outside My knowledge, I will let you have it.” A person can say to God, Leave me alone. And God will ultimately say, OK. I will leave you alone. The ultimate result of that, when a person finally and utterly wants to be left alone by God, that’s Hell: the ultimate consequence of a persistent and settled rejection of God’s grace and God’s presence. C.S. Lewis put it like this: The doors of Hell are locked from the inside.
why do you call it a "spiritual " path? as opposed to a "non-spiritual" path? Like, maybe you don't know the difference between the two? that is certainly possible.

I seen truely God ordained woman speaking the word and the husband pastor right next to her poetically correcting I think woman should not lead a church alone because they use their hearts instead of the word and the heart is deceitful. Many doctrines under the Christian faith allow LGBT philosophy in the faith and the leaders are woman that practice such things.
Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity came into this world as human to atone for the sins of mankind. He was divine and arise in triumph over the grave. All who trust Christ as Saviour will go to Heaven and those who are not saved will go unfortunately to Hell. Truth is not subjective but is objective. The Bible is objective and the Bible is the infallible Word of God.
Sorry but we don't believe in the trinity. We believe God is one, that Jesus was his most elevated messenger and that the bible is fallible. It was written by fallible men anyway. So we say there's no one truth however because none can actually be proven.
This was lovely! Thank you very much Rev Angela Herrera. I have subscribed and will look forward to more videos like this.

A very fine talk. I can excuse her for misrepresenting the theology of Arius, but you can research that archaic debate if you like. As for the Edict of Torda, it may have been the first official proclamation of religious tolerance, but during the 16th century the Polish authorities enforced de facto religious tolerance. Instead of persecutions, there were public debates on theology. A bishop once tried and attempted to execute a heretic, but was prevented from doing so by the intervention of armed gentry. Catholic peasants burned a Calvinist chapel and were severely punished, and the bishop started a fund to rebuild it. This made possible a haven for Unitarian scriptural scholarship at Raków, resulting in many publications, including the long and scholarly Racovian Catechism, published in Latin and circulated through Europe. This influenced many thinkers, including John Locke, though Parliament in 1652 ordered all copied burned. . . . Just sayin'.
I quit around the arius mark, that part was so misrepresented and historically uninformed that I couldn't in good faith believe anything else she had to say.
Baha'is believe that Baha'ullah is the latest Manifestation of God. Whereas it seems the UUC is more of a 'seeking truth that feels valid to you' kind of faith. Baha'is have laws and rules to it...whereas UUC doesn't.
I believe living things are the living universe. We are electronic starseeds, leaving the universe instruction to create better. I believe in the universe. Opposing forces. Quarks go 3 ways, good or evil.
It would help me understand better were you to put a definition to "divine" re whether people felt Jesus was divine or not. The dictionary definition is broad so I'm unsure what you mean by this. Also, is calling your church Unitarian Universalism really necessary? Why not just pick one word?
The name comes from the merger of Unitarian and Universalist denominations in the early 1960s. It makes an unweildy name, but so far the choice has been to honor both traditions and abbreviate UU.
We call ours a fellowship here in Los Gatos, Calif. UUFLG And I saw a recent video ON UA-cam on UU document where a Christian reporter really let into a UU minister during an inter view. The UU asked lots of hard questions and I loved the the UU guy answered the questions. And he informed me of lots of information I didn’t know about us. Was kind of shocked/pleased about info. We don’t believe in a man shaped god. But the whole universe including us the animals and plants and rocks for gosh sakes! We don’t need salavation cause we don’t believe in after life or hell. Ok. That’s what you are saying. Right?
Nice speech. I’m a recovering evangelical, forty- three years sober, with no inclination to join a goddy community. If I had such an urge, it would probably be in this direction.
Why? Doing so would be a step backward. You had the courage to both repudiate the "beliefs" h and the resultant practices. IBM temped to describe Uuism as a cargo cult,but at least the cargo cultists actually believed in John Frum. Uuism: the methadone of religions.
Essentially Unitarian Universalism is whatever you want it to be as long as it is considered tolerant and beneficial to other people. This sounds like a win win belief system(or lack thereof). We can choose to believe something because we like that belief system(or lack thereof) but we must ask ourselves some very important questions: does what we believe line up with ultimate reality? Does our explanation of reality actually match what we see in the world around us? Are my beliefs(or lack thereof)consistent and non contradictory? Is there such a thing as objective truth and if not what is a legitimate transcendent standard for morality that we can apply universally and what do we base this on other than our own subjective minds and preferences? It seems that the very concept of Unitarian Universalism undermines itself.
@@JoeGraves24 Unitarian Universalist R belief systems From : Atheist. Agnostic. Wicca. Mormons Baptist Hindu Catholic Protestant And other religions combined as one system connection Many truths as one truth...
Not only is it confusing, their entire ‘ideology’ is highly contradictory. I’m not even a Christian but I can’t imagine any Christian wanting to be a part of a UU church. Every Christian I know detests UU because of their inclusion of other religions and beliefs because that would misunderstand and contradict the instructions of Christ, and a violation to the very first commandment, “You shall have no other Gods besides me”. Adding incompatible beliefs would corrupt the original religion, and ultimately renders all religion meaningless.

Here's a question for people who AR unitarium what do you guys truly believe because it sounds like you guys just take all these different religions and believe in that Don't get me wrong as a Christian I feel that I find different truth in different denominations but to go on to a church that preaches that's hell is non-existent by saying that you're saying that God has no punishment for those who are disobedient Bible says clearly many passages that your salvation refers to your works and your faith because faith but no works is dead Works according to James for me as a Christian I would not know if I could even join this church because my understanding of the scriptures is so different you can't cone a Christian could accept this as truth only thing that I agree with you about is it I think that God is Not Jesus but Jesus is who God ordained to receive worship But that does not make him God so as far as that I agree with you but that's kind of where I think it might end Trying to find a religion to falls in the line of my understanding of truth but it is so hard to even find that because every time I find a church that is similar to what I believe I find era
A UU cannot be a religious being alone. We need to be with others to live in fairness, seek diversity in theology and transform the world. There isn't a self-help book for that!
As a scholar of religion/philosophy and history and even if I really like uu Its rejection of trinitarianism a bit petty... There Is no value neither positive nor negative to Arius, he believed a thing other believed another stop. Also, the doctrine of Arius was considered wrong because even if more simple (and more simple doesn't mean right) like other heresies made the sacrifice of Christ meaningless or at least much less meaningful and important. The Christian Creed Says that God incarnated and through his son died for our sins and this Is important as if Christ wasn't the son of God and God incarnate God is simply another deity that sends a prophet to die to do his bidding, there Is no connection It's only a god that couldn't bother to lift his almighty ass to save his children and decided to tell some guy to do something. Look every religion developed in a precise and unique way and by what I like to call Religious Darwinism, the most convincing and meaningful doctrines survived and that was simply what most reasoned With the Mercy, caring, parently, maternal, sacrificial ethos that characterizes Christianity I don't blame you if you are a Neo-arian maybe that Simply chimes With you and I'm not going to be the one that takes that away from you because "It's bad" but religion is a very complex field to delve in and we should always treat It with the proper care.
The irony is that Origen developed the Trinity and considered by her to be the first Universalist. So her sermon alludes a union of Trinitarian and Anti-Trinitarian. I also think Origen's idea of Ultimate Invisible Being and Logos (reason) and Holy Spirit in all humans comes close to what she is saying, which is the Trinity.
REASONS WHY THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH 1. You can read about it in the New Testament. (MATTHEW 16:18; ROMANS 16:16; ACTS 4:12) 2. It has no creed but the Bible, binds no name on members but Christ’s. (ACTS 11:26; l PETER 4:16) 3. Its acts of worship are patterned after New Testament examples. (JOHN 4:24; ACTS 20:7; I CORINTHIANS 16:1-2; EPHESIANS 5:19; COLOSSIANS 3:16) 4. It teaches that UNITY can be achieved on all doctrinal disputed questions. (JOHN 17:21; I CORINTHIANS 1:10; EPHESIANS 4:4-6) 5. Its future: Eternal Glory with Christ. (I THESSALONIANS 4:17; MATTHEW 7:14) YOU CAN’T BE SAVED ANY OTHER WAY
There’s just one way to the pearly gate, to the crown of life and the friends who wait. Tis that old cross road and the way called strait, there’s just one way to the pearly gate. “There’s Only One Provider” THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS CHURCH OUTSIDE OF NEW TESTAMENT TEACHINGS (ROMANS 10:1-3; ROMANS 10:18-21)
This is a good sermon, it does question your belief. In my belief, I do believe in a god but not a Christian god. In many Christian churches I went to form namonational to demonational, and they all have there diffrent versions of the afterlife but don't know for sure, because the concept of an afterlife to us humans is theoretical as in we don't know for sure just believe that there is. And one thing about I do understand, Hell to me is we make are on hell in this world as we die to me the concept of hell there doesn't exist. But this church does have some points and they might have answers to some of the questions that were trying to find in ourselves. Don't judge them to quickly just for one post, because you haven't been in there to here more and see more.

I am Unitarian, it is definitely religion. But to be it religion , UNITY of us all must be our creed/ faith/belief. Unity of the COSMOS should b considred a fact, our rational human observation. So Unitarisnism is not just a leap of faith, it is a leap of ultimate rational human observation.! Calling it a rational religion is quite rational. Many Unitarian churches do not realize something simple--- it is impossible to call someone Unitarian unless/until UNITY is considered equal to CREED in other religions. How any one can be Unitarian ,unless he/she believes in UNITY at Universal level of rationality. I am Unitarian, I am Universalist---and I believe in it with a rational brain. I m what the name says it is---so simple.
Unity may be your creed, but the point of Unitarian Universalism, which enrages so many Christians here and confuses many others, is that the denomination has no creed like the Nicean Creed, for example. The goal is not for everyone to accept a preapproved creed but for everyone to develop their own beliefs. A common phrase is "the free and responsible search for truth and meaning."
Nicean Creed is irrational. Creed of Unity and Universality is a very rational Creed. Who can deny the UNITY of Cosmos, unity of humanity---- UNITY OF US ALL is the fact. But this NICEAN CREED does not make any sense---- GOD, HOLY SPIRIT and SON are co-equal---- come on---- thus is all irrational and "theological, creedal non-sense" Nicean Creed in 325 A.D. is created by irrational, over-zealous priests. UNIVERSAL UNITY is quite rational and sensible.
i still failed to see why is considered as a religion. If u keep questioning ,proving and something through logic , reasoning , evidence in order to seek the truth, thats Science. Science is not a relgion tho
Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life." "No one comes to the Father except through me." If you are a Christian, this is rock solid, and what we build our foundation upon. There is only ONE WAY, and that's through the death, burial, and resurrection(in the flesh) on the third day. Paul said, "I teach Christ crucified." We are all sinners, and need a savior. Our good deeds are like filthy rags to God. Its not what we say or do, but what God did for us through his only begotten son, which he sent, because he so loved the world, to save us from his wrath that will be poured out an upon the wicked. (sinners without Christ)

Question: What do you get when you cross a Jev. Witness with a Unitarian-Universalist. Answer: People who walk around the neighborhood, knocking on doors….for NO Apparent Reason.
Short answer...it's a heresy that denies Jesus Christ is God Himself in the flesh, and therefore you don't have a sufficient sacrifice to pay for your sins and you will pay for them for all of eternity. John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
@Mohamed Yasin Biblical Christianity doesn’t believe people are born guilty because of someone else’s sin (Adam). That’s nonsense. Adams sin caused the fall of humanity and the curse of death in creation, but the Bible teaches that each person is judged for their own sin. Therefore nobody is born guilty, they become guilty at the age of accountability when they are aware and conscience of what they are doing.
As a Christian I thought her sermon was not so good. she needs to do better history research and get the facts straight. As I listened to her sermon, she made a good number of false statements that are common tropes among the ill-informed anti-religious populace, told a number of superficial stories that mix conspiracy theories with legendary anti-Christian tales. She spoke a little like the people who claim that Christmas is really the worship of Horace, or some other deity of ancient paganism. Then she appropriates a number of famous authors (probably unjustifiably). All in all, her presentation is very superficial silly stuff. And, of course, she lays claim to every 'good' thing she can think of as the product of little threads of UU proto belief all through history. What a horribly distorted account she gives. No wonder she wants to have the symbols of every religion she can think of on her "mural" - the wall behind her. It's a bad example of unitarian Universalism, I suspect.
So I'm watching this video and now I'm seeing that you guys say you have no idea when the beginning of earth started how is this a Christian Church it's not it's really not I mean come on brother you believe in Saturday or Sunday everyone would want to believe in a Sabbath the creation of Life the beginning of Life this sounds more like a non Christian Church
I hate the concept of one person preaching to a bunch of people. Just cuz they went to a school for preaching doesn't mean they know anymore than anyone else. True wisdom and knowledge comes from within! Who the hell actually wants to listen to one person talk for over an hour.
For the record, the sermon is 26 minutes, not an hour. More important, people who go to a "school for preaching" do to know more about certain subjects than the rest of us, just like electrical engineers know more about their field than the rest of us.
Going to a seminary isn’t just a school to learn about preaching. There is so much more to learn in a seminary than preaching a sermon. You really think you know more that someone who invested an insane amount of time, and effort, not to mention money, to acquire clergy credentials?
Unitarianism (from Latin unitas "unity, oneness", from unus "one") is a Christian theological movement named for its belief that the God in Christianity is one person, as opposed to the Trinity (tri- from Latin tres "three") which in most other branches of Christianity defines God as one being in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.[1] Unitarian Christians, therefore, believe that Jesus was inspired by God in his moral teachings, and he is a savior,[2][3] but he was not a deity or God this is the right Christianity before it's being misrepresented
If you ever find your Bible scholar; could you please ask them these 10 questions for me? Thank you so much! :-) a)When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians? e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die? i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair as we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
@snow sandwiches No, none of you attacked me; you`ve just been trying to brain wash and indoctrinate me into your cult of S&M, blood sacrifice by your non-stop, pathological lies and deception. That isn`t very nice, in my opinion. But you were born bad, broken and wrong; nothing but a worthless, hopeless, sinner without the blood of Jesus. You have Jesus` blood on your hands! He didn`t die for my sins. I will pay for my own wrongdoings, tyvm, lol! Actually, if the Divinely created Holey Buybull says 20 sheckels of silver then that is what The LORD has carved into stone with lightning bolts! I think you`re trying to rip me off; typical Xian, lol! The denomination of the silver coins was called shekels. Coins containing that amount of silver (about the size of an American silver dollar) would be worth about $10 today. Thus the 20 pieces would be worth about $200 today, as bullion silver. So, she is worth $200.00! You still interested? I can`t force myself to respect bad ideas, philosophy, religion or anything else not worthy of respect. I have no free will in many cases!

So much wrong with her explication of the early Christian Church and the canon of the Bible. Please do your research. You can start by reading Evidence that demands a verdict by Josh and Sean McDowell. I would also recommend anything righten by James what on the subjects.

as a muslim, i enjoy this speech
"If you believe it, prove it." Quran 2: 111
don’t need to prove
I'm a muslim and this is nonsense, it's mainly directed to the christians, she talked so much on history of christianity because we all know that chsrtianity is not consistent. why didn't she tried to do the same for Judaism and Islam. because judaism is not a missionary religion anyway and Islam is hard to find contradictions in it. this whole thing of new cult called "Unitarian Universalism" only goal to turn people back on their religion. I mean if someone says like she did "if God is good than no one goes to hell" well where is the morality in that, are you telling that person can murder and do anything immoral on earth and still go to heaven ? where is the restrictions ? so i'm just gonna believe there is one God and you're not adding anything to it that makes it just an empty religion.
i don't believe in christianity, i don't believe in trinity and jesus as god but i still believe there is some truth in christianity because there are god fearing christians and that's the most important. even in Isalm, we teach that the only thing we must fear is Allah and that's what imposes morality because no matter how powerful you can get on earth, Allah will always be more powerful so you must fear him and not use your power to commit bad things on earth

For an excellent account, see the Wikipedia piece on Unitarian Universalism. And to get the flavor of the worship experience, very many congregations have their services live as Zoom webinars and recorded on UA-cam. All Souls in Kansas City does this well. My own congregation, White Bear UU in the Twin Cities, is getting better at it.

I believe it because i seen them as a child. They were about 4 of them and a one woman. Having a conversation. They didnt know i was standing there and i was fronzen cold scared.

As they turn their heads toward me they get up and run towards the wall. I shout to my mom screaming and running with the thought they are behind me as i run. I grab my mom hard screaming and screaming even after i reached her. I never forget that event.
Bible says demons are just spirits without bodies. They dwell in others. In the bible two man ran into Jesus in their walk and they knew Jesus was going to cast them out when he saw them so they pleaded. Please if you cast us out at least cast us into the pigs that were there. So he did.
Seems to me that life after death is terrible without a body that they had to cry out to at least cast them into pigs.

Don't get me wrong I agree with Unitarian belief as far as Jesus not being God but they have a lots of era in their teaching like for instance they don't want a weekly Sabbath because they claim they don't know when the beginning Apparition started and if you're a Christian you believed the world was done in 7 days and in the first day with the beginning creation and end the last day was the end and they act like they have no idea when is written so plainly in the scriptures this is not a Christian Church this is a multi Universal Church of religion me and you could be Buddhist and you'll be saved Jesus says the way to get to heaven into the heavenly father is through his son for he is the life and whoever does not believe the Son of God is one who came to redeem them and who should be worship they are not redeem and they do not receive life
It is so hard to find a church that actually sticks to everything the Bible says it's so hilarious that church does not exist on this Earth for instance there are many churches that preach that you go straight to heaven when you die but the bible really says that you rest in the grave until the Awakening when Christ returns for the people who are falling asleep in him and to raise to the sky to meet the Lord in the air but then you have churches of priests otherwise but abbey church has an error it's sad and true

Wow I just heard about UU and after this I want to visit a church. I’m scared my anxiety but I want to go
I went to a UU service about 10 years ago and they wanted any newcomers to introduce themselves. I was one but I was considerably uncomfortable with the idea of introducing myself to a group of strangers. I was told afterward that they just wanted me to stand up and say my name but they didn't push me any further than that.

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. Lev.26:16
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters. Deuteronomy 28:53
And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine. Isaiah 49:26
Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them. Ezekiel 8:18
Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile. Nah.3:5-6
Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces. Malachi 2:3
As an example to parents everywhere and to save the world (from Himself); God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten, perfect, and innocent Son, to be tortured and killed, as a ritual blood sacrifice; to appease Himself, so that He could forgive us for the sin, He originally condemned us to in the 1st place. John 3: 16
Peace, love, and good luck!

Excellent sermon by an excellent minister.
Wow.I see me in her for a reason.Ive searched all of these things Ive felt all of those things.All my existential questions and the information I received from the sources I got them in one speech.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:21-23
Not everyone is a Christian…thank God.
Better to be a good Samaritan than a hypocritical priest or scribe
@@dylansaus I don’t think you realize how antisemitic that is. Without the Jewish scribes, you wouldn’t have a Bible today. The Pharisees were the first ones to formally teach the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. I’ve met more hypocritical Christians than I have Jewish ones.

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” In full effect people. Jesus is King. There are those who bend the knee now and there are those who will bend the knee later. Bend it now.

I've been seriously considering looking into Unitarian Universalism as an Agnostic, but the word "church" still has me a little iffy.
You should go.Its extremely casual and very loosely "Church like".As my late father called it "basically a Liberal Club".
Me too!

Not hearing any bible verses from this sermon. Wtf is this?
and she did the protestant thing of conveniently skipping over plenty of history as well🙄 Luther then the "dark ages" then early church? No mention at all of Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) who did more to promote holiness than anybody since the apostles, and was WAY ahead of his time in so many ways
I noticed that you have an ASL interpreter…wonderful!
I am a unitanian forever
From the beginning of Adam and Eve in the Garden, God, gave laws to both Adam and Eve about what is lawful and not acceptable. There were no immediate threats to their person, if the disobeyed, but consequences if these laws were not followed. Unitarianism seem to allow choices that have no negative consequences. Naturally humans, like children want pleasure without pain, but there is no such animal. Lust is always packaged in pleasure that the gods always promise their disciples plenty of if they are worshipped humanely, not spirtually, which cannot be measured by reason. Therefore, lust, will always be desired over, a “pie in the sky” ideal. The history of Adam and his posterity, is a history of lust, war, and theft, justified by each god, the version of history creates to justify their rational concept of “human rights”.
Unitarians r not christians
The thing that I found to be most objectionable about this church is that it is far too political. The people that I came in contact with at my local church tended to be socialists and social activists with an anti-capitalist agenda. Also, I found many of them to be closed minded when they were confronted with facts that went against their belief systems. For example; me, as a free thinking Libertarian was not welcome within their social circle and that was fine because I had better places to go.
This makes me more interest in UU
@@nectary111 If that's how you feel about any church join a political party that agrees with most of your political philosophy/
What I’ve heard here just now, resonates so well with what I’ve been always thinking about. How liberating it is to hear the names of Origen and Pelagius without those gruesome titles of being heretic ? but with the honorable apellations of being the ancestor ?
So that’s the point, I think, the difference is being closeted, or being openly accepting and manifesting, and, of course it’s a lot healthier and fun, when you opt for the latter.
Though I was more inclined to what I was hearing about Origen, as long as one remains in the traditional boundary, you can’t be ok about yourself, have to hide yourself, keep one’s actual belief secret, like it’s sin. By calling onself « a Unitarian », by giving oneself that name, now you have this revolution, no more hiding, but coming into the light and revealing. How awesome should it be ? And naming was the Adam’s business.
I haven’t joined the congregation yet. I think I will soon.
My best friend invited me to a uu sermon tomorrow. I'm so excited. I hope it's a good as this one :)
I would also like to know how it went. I must say this minister (the Rev. Angela Herrera) sets a really high bar. She's one of the best preachers in the denomination.

This was beautiful. I’ve been on a spiritual path for some time, and just haven’t found anything that felt right. This feels right. Also, I’m sure you’re used to it, but the hate in these comments is overwhelming. As you quoted, “if god is good, and is love, then no one is going to hell”. ❤️❤️❤️
you've likely read little on the subject from historical orthodox Christian sources; As someone has said the doors of hell are locked from the inside. what if there is one true God-- and God’s action in this pattern are: “If what you really want is existence outside Me, outside My will, outside My knowledge, I will let you have it.” A person can say to God, Leave me alone. And God will ultimately say, OK. I will leave you alone.
The ultimate result of that, when a person finally and utterly wants to be left alone by God, that’s Hell: the ultimate consequence of a persistent and settled rejection of God’s grace and God’s presence. C.S. Lewis put it like this: The doors of Hell are locked from the inside.
why do you call it a "spiritual " path? as opposed to a "non-spiritual" path? Like, maybe you don't know the difference between the two? that is certainly possible.
@@dmmusicmusic Does it make you feel superior to belittle strangers on the internet? Because you alluded to my stupidity twice in these comments. “Judge not, yet thee be not judged”. Isn’t that from your book?
I found this sermon both delightful and full of love. Don’t try to shame me for finding beauty in something.
Beat it pal.
@@dmmusicmusic, Do you even realize YOU worship THE EVIL ONE? How can your conscience handle being a self-righteous, holier than thou, bigot, hypocrite while YOU worship the Devil? Sinners say the most narcissistic things, and it makes me sick! If you want to avoid hell, stop worshipping the Devil!

@ catastrophe i'm a serious Christian, but I'd rather be muslim than unitarian. Unitarian's are afraid to say they believe anything and acts if that is "enlightened," when it's the very worst darkness.

Theres no such thing as a woman minister. Women are not allowed to lead a real church. Try reading a Bible.
@@stormsmack69 she can lead the woman side. Christian dont do what the word says like the church supposed to be divided. Woman on one side and men on the other also woman are to have their heads covered like like the Muslims do specially if they are going to prophecy to the congregation.. I can go on and on
I think woman can speak when she is one in marriage with her (pastor) husband but he must be there with her speaking together not alone. I seen truely God ordained woman speaking the word and the husband pastor right next to her poetically correcting
I think woman should not lead a church alone because they use their hearts instead of the word and the heart is deceitful. Many doctrines under the Christian faith allow LGBT philosophy in the faith and the leaders are woman that practice such things.
This video would only be about 18 seconds long if someone would have stood up and answered the first question truthfully.

Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity came into this world as human to atone for the sins of mankind. He was divine and arise in triumph over the grave. All who trust Christ as Saviour will go to Heaven and those who are not saved will go unfortunately to Hell. Truth is not subjective but is objective. The Bible is objective and the Bible is the infallible Word of God.
Sorry but we don't believe in the trinity. We believe God is one, that Jesus was his most elevated messenger and that the bible is fallible. It was written by fallible men anyway. So we say there's no one truth however because none can actually be proven.

A very fine talk. I can excuse her for misrepresenting the theology of Arius, but you can research that archaic debate if you like. As for the Edict of Torda, it may have been the first official proclamation of religious tolerance, but during the 16th century the Polish authorities enforced de facto religious tolerance. Instead of persecutions, there were public debates on theology. A bishop once tried and attempted to execute a heretic, but was prevented from doing so by the intervention of armed gentry. Catholic peasants burned a Calvinist chapel and were severely punished, and the bishop started a fund to rebuild it. This made possible a haven for Unitarian scriptural scholarship at Raków, resulting in many publications, including the long and scholarly Racovian Catechism, published in Latin and circulated through Europe. This influenced many thinkers, including John Locke, though Parliament in 1652 ordered all copied burned. . . . Just sayin'.
you listened much longer than I could but friend I believe it's Arias ( sp)?
I quit around the arius mark, that part was so misrepresented and historically uninformed that I couldn't in good faith believe anything else she had to say.
This is one of the most powerful talks I've ever heard, from any religious person of otherwise.

how is unitarian universalism different from the bahai'i faith?

I believe living things are the living universe. We are electronic starseeds, leaving the universe instruction to create better. I believe in the universe. Opposing forces. Quarks go 3 ways, good or evil.
I agree with that way of thinking
Nonsense. Jesus ftw.
It would help me understand better were you to put a definition to "divine" re whether people felt Jesus was divine or not. The dictionary definition is broad so I'm unsure what you mean by this. Also, is calling your church Unitarian Universalism really necessary? Why not just pick one word?
The name comes from the merger of Unitarian and Universalist denominations in the early 1960s. It makes an unweildy name, but so far the choice has been to honor both traditions and abbreviate UU.
Relativism?
We call ours a fellowship here in Los Gatos, Calif. UUFLG And I saw a recent video ON UA-cam on UU document where a Christian reporter really let into a UU minister during an inter view. The UU asked lots of hard questions and I loved the the UU guy answered the questions. And he informed me of lots of information I didn’t know about us. Was kind of shocked/pleased about info. We don’t believe in a man shaped god. But the whole universe including us the animals and plants and rocks for gosh sakes! We don’t need salavation cause we don’t believe in after life or hell. Ok. That’s what you are saying. Right?
Nice speech. I’m a recovering evangelical, forty- three years sober, with no inclination to join a goddy community. If I had such an urge, it would probably be in this direction.
Why? Doing so would be a step backward.
You had the courage to both repudiate the "beliefs" h and the resultant practices.
IBM temped to describe Uuism as a cargo cult,but at least the cargo cultists actually believed in John Frum.
Uuism: the methadone of religions.
Essentially Unitarian Universalism is whatever you want it to be as long as it is considered tolerant and beneficial to other people. This sounds like a win win belief system(or lack thereof). We can choose to believe something because we like that belief system(or lack thereof) but we must ask ourselves some very important questions: does what we believe line up with ultimate reality? Does our explanation of reality actually match what we see in the world around us? Are my beliefs(or lack thereof)consistent and non contradictory? Is there such a thing as objective truth and if not what is a legitimate transcendent standard for morality that we can apply universally and what do we base this on other than our own subjective minds and preferences? It seems that the very concept of Unitarian Universalism undermines itself.
Yes, they have no platform to stand on. They say there is no ONE truth. I would then pose the question: is that belief the one truth?

Not only is it confusing, their entire ‘ideology’ is highly contradictory. I’m not even a Christian but I can’t imagine any Christian wanting to be a part of a UU church. Every Christian I know detests UU because of their inclusion of other religions and beliefs because that would misunderstand and contradict the instructions of Christ, and a violation to the very first commandment, “You shall have no other Gods besides me”. Adding incompatible beliefs would corrupt the original religion, and ultimately renders all religion meaningless.
@@hi_im_anti_social3321 foolish. Base mentality. Warped by judeo Christianity. The ‘original religion’ what are you talking about
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear (II Tim 4:3).
Sadly most will be deceived. Satan lucifer a fallen angel disguises as light and love and when people refuse to come to Jesus Christ because they love their sin they will not see. They will be deceived.

You're so kind - in fact you're every kind. 🤔
Here's a question for people who AR unitarium what do you guys truly believe because it sounds like you guys just take all these different religions and believe in that
Don't get me wrong as a Christian I feel that I find different truth in different denominations but to go on to a church that preaches that's hell is non-existent by saying that you're saying that God has no punishment for those who are disobedient Bible says clearly many passages that your salvation refers to your works and your faith because faith but no works is dead Works according to James for me as a Christian I would not know if I could even join this church because my understanding of the scriptures is so different you can't cone a Christian could accept this as truth only thing that I agree with you about is it I think that God is Not Jesus but Jesus is who God ordained to receive worship
But that does not make him God so as far as that I agree with you but that's kind of where I think it might end
Trying to find a religion to falls in the line of my understanding of truth but it is so hard to even find that because every time I find a church that is similar to what I believe I find era
Looking at the comments, it's interesting how many people had the need to come here and condemn...
Yes, do not accept Jesus as God. They have female pastors, which is unbiblical.
What's really funny is that UUs will embrace the criticism, laugh at it, she debate it all at once.

As a scholar of religion/philosophy and history and even if I really like uu Its rejection of trinitarianism a bit petty...
There Is no value neither positive nor negative to Arius, he believed a thing other believed another stop.
Also, the doctrine of Arius was considered wrong because even if more simple (and more simple doesn't mean right) like other heresies made the sacrifice of Christ meaningless or at least much less meaningful and important.
The Christian Creed Says that God incarnated and through his son died for our sins and this Is important as if Christ wasn't the son of God and God incarnate God is simply another deity that sends a prophet to die to do his bidding, there Is no connection It's only a god that couldn't bother to lift his almighty ass to save his children and decided to tell some guy to do something.
Look every religion developed in a precise and unique way and by what I like to call Religious Darwinism, the most convincing and meaningful doctrines survived and that was simply what most reasoned With the Mercy, caring, parently, maternal, sacrificial ethos that characterizes Christianity I don't blame you if you are a Neo-arian maybe that Simply chimes With you and I'm not going to be the one that takes that away from you because "It's bad" but religion is a very complex field to delve in and we should always treat It with the proper care.
The irony is that Origen developed the Trinity and considered by her to be the first Universalist. So her sermon alludes a union of Trinitarian and Anti-Trinitarian.
I also think Origen's idea of Ultimate Invisible Being and Logos (reason) and Holy Spirit in all humans comes close to what she is saying, which is the Trinity.
Do unitarians believe in Jesus?
Some do…other don’t. Those that do have various beliefs about Jesus that could be very different from what Christianity says about him.

REASONS WHY THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
1. You can read about it in the New
Testament. (MATTHEW 16:18;
ROMANS 16:16; ACTS 4:12)
2. It has no creed but the Bible, binds
no name on members but Christ’s.
(ACTS 11:26; l PETER 4:16)
3. Its acts of worship are patterned
after New Testament examples.
(JOHN 4:24; ACTS 20:7;
I CORINTHIANS 16:1-2; EPHESIANS
5:19; COLOSSIANS 3:16)
4. It teaches that UNITY can be
achieved on all doctrinal disputed
questions. (JOHN 17:21;
I CORINTHIANS 1:10; EPHESIANS
4:4-6)
5. Its future: Eternal Glory with Christ.
(I THESSALONIANS 4:17;
MATTHEW 7:14)
YOU CAN’T BE SAVED ANY OTHER WAY
There’s just one way to the pearly gate,
to the crown of life and the friends who wait.
Tis that old cross road and the way
called strait,
there’s just one way to the pearly gate.
“There’s Only One Provider”
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS CHURCH OUTSIDE OF NEW TESTAMENT TEACHINGS
(ROMANS 10:1-3; ROMANS 10:18-21)
Heresy

If it is not christian why do you call it church?
This is a good sermon, it does question your belief. In my belief, I do believe in a god but not a Christian god. In many Christian churches I went to form namonational to demonational, and they all have there diffrent versions of the afterlife but don't know for sure, because the concept of an afterlife to us humans is theoretical as in we don't know for sure just believe that there is. And one thing about I do understand, Hell to me is we make are on hell in this world as we die to me the concept of hell there doesn't exist. But this church does have some points and they might have answers to some of the questions that were trying to find in ourselves. Don't judge them to quickly just for one post, because you haven't been in there to here more and see more.

Most conservative unitarian universalist
In your own Bible Moses’ sister lead many in song and dance in the Book of Exodus, Deborah lead the entire Nation of Israel in the Book of Judges. Esther was Queen over127 provinces.
I am Unitarian, it is definitely religion. But to be it religion , UNITY of us all must be our creed/ faith/belief. Unity of the COSMOS should b considred a fact, our rational human observation. So Unitarisnism is not just a leap of faith, it is a leap of ultimate rational human observation.! Calling it a rational religion is quite rational. Many Unitarian churches do not realize something simple--- it is impossible to call someone Unitarian unless/until UNITY is considered equal to CREED in other religions. How any one can be Unitarian ,unless he/she believes in UNITY at Universal level of rationality. I am Unitarian, I am Universalist---and I believe in it with a rational brain. I m what the name says it is---so simple.
Unity may be your creed, but the point of Unitarian Universalism, which enrages so many Christians here and confuses many others, is that the denomination has no creed like the Nicean Creed, for example. The goal is not for everyone to accept a preapproved creed but for everyone to develop their own beliefs. A common phrase is "the free and responsible search for truth and meaning."
Nicean Creed is irrational. Creed of Unity and Universality is a very rational Creed. Who can deny the UNITY of Cosmos, unity of humanity---- UNITY OF US ALL is the fact. But this NICEAN CREED does not make any sense---- GOD, HOLY SPIRIT and SON are co-equal---- come on---- thus is all irrational and "theological, creedal non-sense" Nicean Creed in 325 A.D. is created by irrational, over-zealous priests. UNIVERSAL UNITY is quite rational and sensible.
i still failed to see why is considered as a religion. If u keep questioning ,proving and something through logic , reasoning , evidence in order to seek the truth, thats Science. Science is not a relgion tho
Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life." "No one comes to the Father except through me." If you are a Christian, this is rock solid, and what we build our foundation upon. There is only ONE WAY, and that's through the death, burial, and resurrection(in the flesh) on the third day. Paul said, "I teach Christ crucified." We are all sinners, and need a savior. Our good deeds are like filthy rags to God. Its not what we say or do, but what God did for us through his only begotten son, which he sent, because he so loved the world, to save us from his wrath that will be poured out an upon the wicked. (sinners without Christ)
Jesus, that father He was speaking the gods no way children

Praise God and Jesus Christ the only true Way..
Amen brother
Ive ben studyin many religions cause i could use it in a sermon one day cause i plan to go in the Baptist ministry i couldn't imagine sitting there imagine i would go to hell cause jesus is the way and life no matter unitarian Baptist catholic its what in ur heart
Sounds like a petty God to me
Ordained minister? Ordained by who? Not by God! Ordained by blasphemers and false teachers.
To believe in nothing/anything as the UU is to sadly stall in one's sincere search for God and thus to fail in salvation.
Jesus loves you.
Great! Then I'm saved and will go to heaven, regardless of my beliefs or lack thereof. (Or else, this isn't what you meant?)
I've come to define religion as anything that thinks for you.
Ug. First error, woman “pastor”.

Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Pray for these folks. They need to come to know the Lord. They do not need religion; just Jesus as their Savior. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

Short answer...it's a heresy that denies Jesus Christ is God Himself in the flesh, and therefore you don't have a sufficient sacrifice to pay for your sins and you will pay for them for all of eternity. John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
@Mohamed Yasin Biblical Christianity doesn’t believe people are born guilty because of someone else’s sin (Adam). That’s nonsense. Adams sin caused the fall of humanity and the curse of death in creation, but the Bible teaches that each person is judged for their own sin. Therefore nobody is born guilty, they become guilty at the age of accountability when they are aware and conscience of what they are doing.
To reject Jesus and The Holy Spirit is blasphemey, do not listen to this woman and be dragged into the lake of fire with her.
I have never heard my religion this misrepresented with falsified information in my life
Repent.or.perish!
As a Christian I thought her sermon was not so good. she needs to do better history research and get the facts straight. As I listened to her sermon, she made a good number of false statements that are common tropes among the ill-informed anti-religious populace, told a number of superficial stories that mix conspiracy theories with legendary anti-Christian tales. She spoke a little like the people who claim that Christmas is really the worship of Horace, or some other deity of ancient paganism. Then she appropriates a number of famous authors (probably unjustifiably). All in all, her presentation is very superficial silly stuff. And, of course, she lays claim to every 'good' thing she can think of as the product of little threads of UU proto belief all through history. What a horribly distorted account she gives. No wonder she wants to have the symbols of every religion she can think of on her "mural" - the wall behind her. It's a bad example of unitarian Universalism, I suspect.
I really was interested but it sounds like a community club trying to look like a spiritual organization
So I'm watching this video and now I'm seeing that you guys say you have no idea when the beginning of earth started how is this a Christian Church it's not it's really not I mean come on brother you believe in Saturday or Sunday everyone would want to believe in a Sabbath the creation of Life the beginning of Life this sounds more like a non Christian Church
UU=religion+Metaphysics
I hate the concept of one person preaching to a bunch of people. Just cuz they went to a school for preaching doesn't mean they know anymore than anyone else. True wisdom and knowledge comes from within! Who the hell actually wants to listen to one person talk for over an hour.
For the record, the sermon is 26 minutes, not an hour. More important, people who go to a "school for preaching" do to know more about certain subjects than the rest of us, just like electrical engineers know more about their field than the rest of us.
Those who went to school for a certain subject tend to know more about that subject than the general educated, or Google educated people
Going to a seminary isn’t just a school to learn about preaching. There is so much more to learn in a seminary than preaching a sermon. You really think you know more that someone who invested an insane amount of time, and effort, not to mention money, to acquire clergy credentials?
Unitarianism (from Latin unitas "unity, oneness", from unus "one") is a Christian theological movement named for its belief that the God in Christianity is one person, as opposed to the Trinity (tri- from Latin tres "three") which in most other branches of Christianity defines God as one being in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.[1] Unitarian Christians, therefore, believe that Jesus was inspired by God in his moral teachings, and he is a savior,[2][3] but he was not a deity or God this is the right Christianity before it's being misrepresented
What you're describing is Biblical Unitarianism, not to be confused with this garbage.
Love to see her debate a female bible scholar... guarantee you it won’t never happened.
If you ever find your Bible scholar; could you please ask them these 10 questions for me? Thank you so much! :-)
a)When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?
i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair as we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I'd love to see that too, but t won't happen because a biblical scholar wouldn't want to debate (since they can't face the truth).
@snow sandwiches No, none of you attacked me; you`ve just been trying to brain wash and indoctrinate me into your cult of S&M, blood sacrifice by your non-stop, pathological lies and deception. That isn`t very nice, in my opinion. But you were born bad, broken and wrong; nothing but a worthless, hopeless, sinner without the blood of Jesus. You have Jesus` blood on your hands! He didn`t die for my sins. I will pay for my own wrongdoings, tyvm, lol!
Actually, if the Divinely created Holey Buybull says 20 sheckels of silver then that is what The LORD has carved into stone with lightning bolts! I think you`re trying to rip me off; typical Xian, lol! The denomination of the silver coins was called shekels. Coins containing that amount of silver (about the size of an American silver dollar) would be worth about $10 today. Thus the 20 pieces would be worth about $200 today, as bullion silver. So, she is worth $200.00! You still interested? I can`t force myself to respect bad ideas, philosophy, religion or anything else not worthy of respect. I have no free will in many cases!
@@drivinsouth651 that was great! Thank you! I loved it!
@@Jus4kiks Jesus said “I came to fulfil the law... not abolish it”. “Not a not or tilde”. Yes we’ve heard the New Testament,.. the Old Testament is to be upheld and honoured. In EVERY way. Go right ahead ... show us what a true Christian you are. There’s no “that was then.., this is now” one thing Jesus did NOT say
So much wrong with her explication of the early Christian Church and the canon of the Bible. Please do your research. You can start by reading Evidence that demands a verdict by Josh and Sean McDowell. I would also recommend anything righten by James what on the subjects. I will pray for the people here that God might open there mind to the truth.
Ridgeview Lawn Care Phil man shut up
@Tanisha Greene why? He’s just citing sources for a correction in the sermon and its potential misinformation.
Citing sources? He didn't and he can't even spell. Ummm okay. Shit that was *written* by man.
You will pray that people here think like you , you mean?
Ya this "church" if you can call it that is a joke to make people feel good about not having to do any work to feel part of a group
Bible teaches that women should not preach 1 Timothy 2:12 . Bible teaches John 3:3 unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God
Nope. Good try.
You are closer to Muslims than mainstream Christians!
