I used to be depressed, Atheistic and completely uneducated about my Orthodox faith, and then I opened the bible, it been uphill since! God Bless everyone who reads this.
God bless you. It is true when Jesus said: It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
I think the lesson “don’t try to hard” is good because if you try to hard you usually end up trying through your own power and make sure you are in control, instead of trusting that God has it under control
I noticed that basically just by being a good christian in general and reflecting Christ in your character, other people around you will see that.. and choose Christianity for themselves.
Just by posting about my religion and how I love God, and trying my absolute best to be Christlike and be kind to all people.. multiple of my tiktok moots decided to be Christian and some of them asked for advice :)
I think for many of us this is the best way. I’m not good at convincing people. I can show good character and morals. Which reflects me being a Christian.
When I became Christian, my mother was atheist and unsupportive of my choice, I prayed for 3 years and now she is a devout Catholic. Trust God and that's it.
Weird how she was ever against it. My mom is an atheist and doesn’t care that I’m Christian. She actually says that it’s good for me despite her not being a believer herself
One of my prouder moments in life was this time when I was on Reddit, and this person with a pride flag on their avatar and claiming that they were a proud atheist, and I was able to get them to talk with me about Christianity. I tried my hardest to explain everything about it to them, and at the end, they actually asked me what some good Christian UA-camrs to watch.
@@wild_burn I think that's a feat considering how extremely secular Redditors are. That small effort could potentially blossom a hundred more Christians in the future.
Catholic here - attending a mainstream conservative Catholic Church - I just walked up to a priest and asked to start a Bible study and I had a Bible study on the premises in 2 weeks. You can also just walk up and ask to be a Catechist. You could walk up and offer to have a scheduled talk where you expand on a topic. You can do youth ministry. You can start a prayer group. The Catholic Church needs tons of volunteers. There’s a constant influx of people into the Church and it requires a lot of educational and spiritual and practical assistance. The community really is a pastor to each other
I just have a Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart statue in my office to advertise to my co-workers that I’m Catholic when they see it. They ask, and I evangelize. It’s been fruitful.
One street preacher I really like is Bryce Crawford, because he never forces anything on anyone. He just asks people questions about what they believe about the Gospel and then asks if he can share his testimony. And then he always ends by praying for them.
I think it’s important to recognize that not everyone has the same callings. Some people really can spread the Gospel through discussion. The Apostles spent a lot of time reasoning with Jews in synagogues. But not everyone is good at making rational arguments, some people do more good by simply demonstrating what a Christian life looks like to non-believers. Some non-believers also aren’t ever going to be convinced by rational discussion, some people are more emotional than rational. I think knowing your own skills and matching your audience to your skill set is very important for evangelism.
I am part of a 125 year old mainline Anglican Church. We are curently faced with potentially being forced to close or sell the building. Today we decided we are going to try to rebuild and reach out to the community. The church has barely anyone my age so the mainlines do need your help and you can have a massive impact.
To be fair, the reason Catholic churches are slightly less open to anyone just being able to spontaneously begin their own bible studies and ministries is to avoid teaching theological errors like liberalism
Redeemedzoomer, I know you may or may not see this. But I saw the Discord post about quitting on apologetics to focus on something else. I want to say, I respect your humility, and your genuine honesty to focus on your own general tradition to seeing the problems that needed fixing. Furthermore, it shows an increase in maturity. God bless us both. ❤️☦️✝️. All respect to you.

On a serious note, i do disagree that you should pretend to be unbiased. Admit that your are biased. If someone is asking you about God, they're asking you because the consider you well versed in it,
I think the unbias is healthy because he only knows in part, not in full, so his theology and perspective isn’t gonna be perfect and 100% true at all times until that which is perfect comes Therefore he can point in the right direction, but admit about himself that he isn’t all knowing about what the Bible says. I mean just recently he became Supralapsarian when he used to be Infralalapsarian, and that was earlier this year. So if he taught the previous perspective as totally true to everyone, when he changed his theology he would be contradicting his own previous statements.

He didn't she you shouldn't be biased, he in fact said that he was proud of his biased work. What he said was that you should remain NEUTRAL when talking about it, which means you wont win people over by saying "God is amazing, he can cure everything and have a plan for us all". A person will at the very least hesitate if they can sense that you're trying to convince them. If someone asks us about our religion, we should simply speak from the heart. Anyone that senses our sincere happiness will be more open to the concept of converting.
I've done it several times with success. Brought people to Christianity. More accurately, God used me as a tool to bring people to Christ. That said. I love and appreciate your method.
Congratulations on getting married soon. Ive been watching your channel for a few years and although i didnt convert because of you, your mear precence as a younger christian made it feel more paletable.
This video came out at a great time for me. I’m writing a Christian Guidebook for a personal project I’m doing in school and this stuff can be very useful to me in helping me people respect Christianity.
Love your videos man! I come from Sweden and both my parents are Atheist. I have been learning a lot about Christianity lately, red the Bible and also been going to chruch as often as I can. Will also be joining a bible study group next week which is going to be exciting. God bless you!
I was gonna criticize your method because my church heavily emphasizes evangelism and has been growing. Then I realized my church is an established, theologically sound, mainline church with many connections.
Any advice for me? I’m 24. Recently gained faith (I had a past with the faith but fell away young) I’ve been married for nearly five years and we have both been critical of religion throughout. My wife seemed upset with my lack of talking about church before I started going suddenly When I bring it up to her to try and talk she seems to shut down. Prayers would be much appreciated. God bless
Side note: I was one of those whom your videos helped save zoomer. All glory to God but you helped with my love of theology before I even loved Christ. I didn’t know of the poll but I’m sure me and many others have the same experience 😊
I’ve been married for much shorter than you, but all I can say is to fulfill the calling you are called to as a husband. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,” Ephesians 5:25 ESV It’s not an easy task, to love as perfectly as Christ loved is an impossible task, but when your wife looks at you she should be able to see Jesus. Whether she knows it or not. Living sacrificially to the utmost degree. If the change is evident, there will inherently be curiosity. And not being able to talk about something as important as your faith shows an area of weakness between y’all (even if it might be on her part) when it comes to communication that needs to be fixed. But again, most importantly. Love your wife as Christ loves the church and gave himself up for her.
I think it's important to establish that you're still the same person you were before. With heavily secular communities there's this fear that religion "brainwashes" people. You're still you. With that made clear, I'm assuming you both consider yourselves fairly rational people if you were both critical of religion, in which case explaining how coming to faith was the rational choice for you would further help. This is important to defuse any potential lingering distrust or animosity. If she feels like you're not the same person you were, or that you made a major life choice like this on an emotional whim rather than through rational thought, then of course she'd be distrustful of any conversation on the topic. Ultimately, her faith and potential conversion is in God's hands, not yours. Pray as usual and God will put it on your heart when the time is right.
99.999% of Christians need to realize we have a common enemy. There are differences between the churches, but no matter which denomination you go to (that actually follows Christ), you are still with Him. There needs to be more unity among different denominations, but we are all fighting the same fight.
When the church was in power, we had the luxury to say "I follow Paul" and "I follow Apollos". But these are pagan times, and we must follow Christ and none else. We must not be concerned with "ruling" the church and lording over our brothers. Jesus rebuked the disciples for thinking that way. Too much division comes from struggling for who will be in charge of whom, when it's not Biblical.
Agreed. We all need to come together and have more outer denominational dialogue and works in the communities. This can be said for all Christians, especially Protestants.
Atheist here. I watch every single one of your videos. Though I'm not converted (yet), I love how reasonably you express theology. Too many people take the 'with us or against us approach', and its nearly impossible to learn about the faith from their videos without getting defensive.
Its true only God can and does save. I think everyone should share the gospel in their own unique sphere of influence. Whether your a researcher, businessman, student, theres going to be people whom you will interact with who would never go to church or google anything about Christ, BUT you will be in a better position than anyone else to be able to share to them the gospel. And remember this may be in a one-on-one conversation, gospel tract, consuling someone during a loss, etc. Remember the power of Gospel is what transforms.
Like Paul said, I come to you not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the power of the Spirit, so that your faith wouldn't rest on human wisdom, but on the Spirit of God I always tell people about the heart posture that has changed. Jesus healed my heart!
Having watched only your "paint explainer" style videos (and loved them ❤), I absolutely did not expect to click into a minecraft voiceover on this topic
@WarriorcatGerda I mean, I knew it wasn't one of those cringy attention-grabbing minecraft parkour voiceovers. I think I just didn't expect to receive life advice in minecraft format. Not complaining tho.
I kind of disagree that strong institutional churches are what would lead to a religious revival. I could cite examples of countries like Poland, and many European countries where they do have a strong, centralized church institution with lots of community influence, but that isn't really helping them stem the tide of secularism. I think an argument on why America is having more resilience to secularization compared to Europe is because America has a huge diversity of denominations competing in a survival of the fittest way. Right now we're living in a time where mainstream institutions are more distrusted than ever. The education system, the government, the media, and yes, the big churches, are generally seen with distrust and being out of touch, and this kind of skepticism of mainstream institutions spills over to everything. It's kind of why populist movements are growing everywhere, why dominant political parties are getting hammered in Europe and American politics is becoming increasingly populist. And why the fastest growing churches are normally the new churches with few roots, since they go against the idea that they're establishment and out of touch. Pentecostalism and non-denominationalism being the best examples. I know this isn't probably what you want, but I'm just the messenger. I think we're headed for an era of decentralization, not just in church, but in pretty much everything, just because the Western population has grown extremely skeptical of any centralized concentration of power.
Jesus prayed for the Church to be one, not decentralized. Despite how secularism is taking over most of the west, here in Italy we often laugh about how things are going in the USA in the woke department.
@@Furetto126The early Church was not very centralized. You just had a bunch of Apostles all going around and starting churches randomly wherever people would listen to their preaching. You had local leaders like in Jerusalem yes, but definitely nobody was presiding over the whole global church, that only came later once the bishops started gaining more power and authority. That's when they started competing with each other for control and how we eventually got the papacy.
@@Furetto126 I think what he means is that there were multiple local churches, which is facts as we look in the Bible, then you had the apostles like Paul who wrote letters and visited the other local churches (keep in mind there was 1 church group per city "THE Church in Corinth" for example. I'm still new in my faith to Christ and studying the Bible so I'm not sure if there are any verses talking about a church hierarchy, but it seems like it doesn't give too much guidance from what I've read so far on a structure, other than the people further along in their spiritual journey should help the newer in understanding the Bible, but all regardless of their level of understanding should preach the Word. TL;DR: The Church was split between multiple cities and being guided by the apostles which I what I assume he means as I am unaware of verses referring to a hierarchy beyond the local church (even though the churches new each other and would visit each other)
I am part of a hundred and one year old Congregational Baptist Church in the Philippines. We are small but have but have a network of churches in the Philippines and a Christian Elementary and High School which is the best in the City. We teach Christianity to our students and our members share the gospel in the workplace.
Through the church I grew up in (a non-denominational one) I have had a decent amount of success in evangelism. Through our church's outreach programs, specifically our children's basketball league, many have started coming to church. The formula we used for that was to start by having a goal of outreach and a creative mind on how to get people in the doors for the outreach, followed by building the relationships. If someone walks into a church building for the first time and feels welcomed by a bunch of friendly people, they're more compelled to return. It has had quite a large success for the congregation with over half of the congregation being brought through the church doors by the basketball program and kept in the doors through relationships. I recently moved away from my parent's town and have started attending a new church affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene where I'm trying to get some outreach going to grow this congregation.
@@alfieingrouille1528 sometimes people go to Church to pray, youth group events, or perhaps fundraisers, I even heard of of evening services dedicated to communion alone.
I live in the South (technically, it's a border area, but culturally, we are a blend of southern and mid-western). There is a phrase here that might be a good strategy for evangelism: "Proclaim the gospel every day. When necessary, use words." Essentially, allow the Holy Spirit to direct your life. Be a good Christian: be kind and truthful. Let others see Christ in your actions and in how you treat others.
Honestly, as a Christian. I've had a lot of nihilistic feelings and thinking for a long time, and it's worse because i'm Autistic. And since I'm autistic, the way my life has been. The way my life has been. For most of my short life. Has almost felt like a Jail And even when I had My job. I just always felt like my life was meaningless, and it was doing nothing that my life. He's just wasting away, achieving nothing, being nothing, and being stuck where I live. I often feel Julius, Caesar. Because he When he read about the conquest of alexander the great He cried Because everything he had done in life was nothing compared alexander and his short life Alexander did something to get himself remembered forever And caesar realized At that point in his life. He would be forgotten and never remembered. And from those feelings gave birth for Caesar's desire for conquest. And to be like alexander I have often Pleaded with God for years. Or just strictly told him I hate my life But I wish I could live in the past. Live a different life in be like that was great, conquerors and generals and warriors of the past. I'm a history nerd and I love conquest I could fit more into the past Then I would in the modern world Am I ignorant on what I say No, because I'm on history, and I know how people lived I've I have just wanted a life that had more meaning and had more things for me to do And and not have a life that turns to dust I just know I could have done more if I was given a chance In a different Point in history
@@alfieingrouille1528 'You're totally helping dude.' If you're not autistic, then you can't really relate to his experiences. And if you haven't had any nihlistic thoughts, along with more horrible feelings/experiences, then you really shouldn't be saying this. All you are doing is minimizing and kicking dirt in our faces instead of actually sympathizing and listening. No wonder why there's a big struggle with us actually going out to talking people because of this type of behavoir
Could you make a video about your opinion on the occult/witchcraft? I've seen several different opinions about it, ranging from "magic isn't real, but you shouldn't practice it because you're offending God", to "magic is very real, and you'll either get possessed or "cursed", and will spend several years to heal from it" But anyway, I'd love to know what you think!
I often think about the parable of the seeds thrown by a farmer and how some of them land on rocks and thin soil and don’t grow, and how some seeds land in good soil and flourish. It’s our job as followers of Christ to scatter the seeds, but we can’t make all of them grow.
Hey Redeemed Zoomer, I am one of your more loyal subscribers. I am a baptist teen from East Texas. Me and my family love watching your videos. Keep it up amigo 🎉
I don't think everyone is called to preach or teach in public or in institutional or pseudo-instiutional places but everybody can testify at work, at school, at home.. simply by working, studying and taking care of the people around you.
Btw. You are wrong. There are so much Cathecists in the Catholic Church. You cannot preach in the pulpit unless you are a deacon or a priest, but the Catholic Church has the most schools built around the entire world. All those schools are in need of high quality Christian teachers. I myself, when I was in university, under the Ateneo Cathecetical Instruction League, would go to the boundoks and preach the Bible to children in poor areas of the Philippines. The Church just has more regulation when it comes to lay preaching, but that is a good thing in order to prevent heresies.
My brothers and sister may yall please pray for me i have been struggling with a porn addiction for years and i feel it is tearing up my relationship with God. Thank yall and God bless
I'm Non-denominational/Baptist/E-Free essentially, and, I learned a ton from your channel, especially about some of the terminology, I didn't know what apologetics meant before hearing it on this. Enjoy the videos a lot, I even appreciate the critique of my side, we definitely have a very individual view, I think it works well for me, but I definitely have a better view of the other denominations now - might actually try one in the future. I think if anything it's a very unifying channel, because you always focus on Jesus/the main message of the Bible.
Catholics might not create a Sunday school like Protestants do, but we can start apostolates and fellowship groups that are essentially the same thing. I’m part of one, where the priest lets us gather in the basement after Mass.
I have a question: I already attend a more conservative offshoot/minor denomination. It's a very nice church full of very nice, committed people. I understand that preserving mainline churches is critical, but I don't think it would be good for me spiritually to leave my church and start trying to carry the weight of a local mainline church without being enriched myself. What can I do without leaving my church to still help preserve mainline churches.
Stay in your church. Don’t let a guy who doesn’t know you, your church, or your circumstances tell you to leave your church just so you can “preserve mainline Protestantism.” I’d say the only reason you should leave your church is if you have significant issue with doctrine(s) it teaches. I’m not who you asked, but that’s what I think.
Remain there, if you are not in a non-denominational you are fine. Try to serve in your local church by teaching in Sunday school or by helping in church activity. We all try to bring more people to Christ, and all the preserving the mainline is for evangelizing more, you can make a difference by participating in your community. If you want to help to revive the mainline maybe you can donate to their NGO in his website
@@handsomedevil4928 I don't think Redeemed Zoomer would tell me to leave my church either. But I do see the value in preserving the mainline churches, so I want to know what I can do.
It can’t hurt you to give Christianity a try. If you are wrong, you’ll just get reincarnated or fade away into eternal darkness and will have lived a generally moral life. If you are right, then you will have eternal life and bliss with your Creator. Just some thoughts 😀
God's grace has been the greatest thing that has happened to me in my life, and while I do agree with a lot of things in this video, I'm strongly against the idea that God chooses to convert people. God's love grace and salvation is like a gift. He offers it to the world, and although many people accept it, many people also decline his offer. It's for this reason that I don't think God converts people, I just think he empowers believers to spread the gospel and to convert others. I actually converted because of this channel, but I don't think God chose me to be saved, I think I'm saved because he offered me to be saved and I accepted. Great video btw keep up the good work and god bless.
I always hear at Bible study and church that it is uttermost importance to share our faith with others...but I just don't know how to bring Jesus up in conversation, let alone make basic conversation to begin with. I can never think of the words to say
Preaching is only good when you do it in a appropriate way at a appropriate time not in some random youtube comment section or shouting in the street like a crazy person
Redeemed Zoomer (in reference to your recent discord post), I'm glad that you've finally come to the conclusion that Protestantism is indefensible. I pray you'll dig a little deeper and realize that it didn't "become a joke", but rather that it was a joke from the very beginning. Christ established a church, which is a divine-human institution. It is the Kingdom of God on earth, and it has lived and breathed His word for over two thousand years. That church is none other than the Eastern Orthodox church. I pray that Christ our God will guide you and your wife to the fullness of truth. This is addressed directly to RZ, I'm not here to debate in the comments.
@@EmirkhanKarakhan Matthew 10:21: "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.

I am part of a Christian church Disciples of Christ congregation and working on revitalizing it by bringing back reformed theology and tradition. Glory be to God. Pray for me to be led by the Holy Spirit and to stay faithful.
Calvinism is one of the worst ideas within Christian theology and one of the reasons I will never declare myself Presbyterian. Telling anyone that they do not have control of faith will surely scare them away the Lord’s gift of Grace and utilize their free will incorrectly

@@GordonFreemanFan349 I literally have a surah that says "Allah guides those that he will and misguides those that he will" Sounds like double predestination "إن الله يهدي من يشاء ويضل من يشاء" Surah Al-Qasas 28:56 Rather it's a passive ignore the sinner or a aggressive "im gonna actively place you in hell" it's still double predestination. A classic Pharoah of Egypt in bible. A clear example of double predestination
Now what to do if you live in a county which wasn't built on protestant but on the Catholic church (due to Counter-Reformation) ? Build on the existing liberal mainline minority or the conservative non-dem that's slightly more numerous ??
Hey Redeemed Zoomer! Could you do a video explaining how should Presbiteryan behave when it comes to the Law? Should we follow all the laws (not only the 10 commandments) described in the Old Testament? If so, how is that not salvation by works? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but i'm a bible studying beginner, sorry love from São Paulo
I agree with RZ that reaching the institutions is very important and even crucial for establishing the Gospel in a certain region, but his attack on street preaching and preaching to your friends and family is a hard miss. Why? Well I could bore you with giving examples of how countless people believed the Gospel due to street preachers and their friends teaching them the Gospel without them asking. I could also tell you of the successes of the great street preachers such as the Wesley brothers and other methodists or I could also mention how the anabaptists gained a huge following even though they were severed from the institutions but I won't bore you with these facts, rather I'll just give a few examples of evangelising from the Bible, since we are Bible believers, aren't we? During the earthly ministry of our Lord, was He trying to become a pharisee or some sort of a goverment official in order to reach the masses? No, He was a simple woodworker who preached from town centers, boats, synagogues and the temple. According to RZ logic, He was doing it improperly. Were the Apostles any different? No, they employed the same tactics. Just remember the first mass conversions after the coming down of the Holy Spirit.(Acts 2) The Jews who converted in Jerusalem didn't do it because a pharisee or a Roman philosopher told them so, they converted because Peter boldly preached to them the Gospel truth! We cannot abandon the clear biblical principle of evangelising because some other way seems more successful. To sum it up, we must boldly truthfully and wisely proclaim the Gospel to ALL people using ALL sort of means. We must not put ourselves in a box like RZ tells us to, but wisely and while being led by the Spirit proclaim the Gospel using all techniques, whether they be direct preaching, reaching the institutions, social media, inviting people to church or something else.
In fairness to the Roman Catholics, I don’t think that what you said at 12:15 is accurate. The oldest still-operating church in North America is the Chapel of St. Michael the Archangel in Santa Fe, NM. It was built in 1610, 10 years before the pilgrims landed. I think Catholicism has at least an equal claim with Protestantism as being at least a dominant Christian cultural force, even if the Protestant denominations clumped together ended up having more influence. In the western states at least, (and perhaps in FL and LA) Catholicism definitely had much greater influence than Protestantism.
@@Thatoneguy-pu8ty I forgot about Texas as well. I'd say that Texas, Louisiana, Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and maybe Maryland have the strongest historically Catholic roots.
Catholicism undoubtably has more influence globally and historically but the US has always been predominately a Protestant country. I say this as someone who isn’t Protestant. It’s just an undeniable fact.
Actually you kinda can "teach a Bible study" in the Catholic Church. The second Vatican council encouraged the laity to be involved in their parishes. Me and my friend each had a group of around 10 teens to prepare for confirmation, but of course a priest supervised us and took care of the more important stuff. My other friends sing psalms and read the readings in Mass. You don't have to be protestant to do something in your local church 😎
Hey! Can you please explain the difference between neo orthodox, new Calvinism and New Presbyterian,because I would like to know where I fit in in these three Christian roots
I haven't heard "New Presbyterian" New Calvinism is an EVANGELICAL movement of mostly Baptists and some Presbyterians to REDEFINE Calvinism as basically just predestination. Major figures include R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, Paul Washer, John Piper Neo-orthodoxy is a mostly MAINLINE academic movement to try and still hold to historic Christian beliefs while still accepting modern science and scholarship There's something else called NEO-Calvinism, which was an early 1900s movement of people like Kuyper and Bavinck that focused on cultural transformation

The Catholic Church needs tons of volunteers. There’s a constant influx of people into the Church and it requires a lot of educational and spiritual and practical assistance. The community really is a pastor to each other
I just have a Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart statue in my office to advertise to my co-workers that I’m Catholic when they see it. They ask, and I evangelize. It’s been fruitful.
Sacred Heart of our Lord, have mercy on us.
The Immaculate Heart of our Blessed Mother, pray for us.

@@littlefishbigmountain Oh. Man. Family is loud. Everyone outside the culture thinks we’re “yelling” when it’s our “normal voice”.
One street preacher I really like is Bryce Crawford, because he never forces anything on anyone. He just asks people questions about what they believe about the Gospel and then asks if he can share his testimony. And then he always ends by praying for them.
Oh I've seen that guy
I think it’s important to recognize that not everyone has the same callings. Some people really can spread the Gospel through discussion. The Apostles spent a lot of time reasoning with Jews in synagogues. But not everyone is good at making rational arguments, some people do more good by simply demonstrating what a Christian life looks like to non-believers. Some non-believers also aren’t ever going to be convinced by rational discussion, some people are more emotional than rational. I think knowing your own skills and matching your audience to your skill set is very important for evangelism.
ayyy I got a comment from you. I love your channel
@@redeemedzoomer6053 Thanks man! I’ve actually commented before, just on an alt account. I’m glad you’ve found my videos edifying.
I am part of a 125 year old mainline Anglican Church. We are curently faced with potentially being forced to close or sell the building. Today we decided we are going to try to rebuild and reach out to the community. The church has barely anyone my age so the mainlines do need your help and you can have a massive impact.
To be fair, the reason Catholic churches are slightly less open to anyone just being able to spontaneously begin their own bible studies and ministries is to avoid teaching theological errors like liberalism
Even coming from a baptist background it’s crazy to me that any church would allow someone that wasn’t vetted to be teaching in any capacity.
@@qui1766 I'm a Particular Baptist and I wouldn't attend a church that allowed someone walking in off the street to teach.
Redeemedzoomer, I know you may or may not see this. But I saw the Discord post about quitting on apologetics to focus on something else.

On a serious note, i do disagree that you should pretend to be unbiased. Admit that your are biased. If someone is asking you about God, they're asking you because the consider you well versed in it,
Agreed otherwise you might have to go back on your word a bit which would be confusing to someone new to Christianity
Everyone is biased, and that's GOOD. If you're not biased that just means you lack conviction and don't care. To care is to be biased.
I think the unbias is healthy because he only knows in part, not in full, so his theology and perspective isn’t gonna be perfect and 100% true at all times until that which is perfect comes
Therefore he can point in the right direction, but admit about himself that he isn’t all knowing about what the Bible says. I mean just recently he became Supralapsarian when he used to be Infralalapsarian, and that was earlier this year. So if he taught the previous perspective as totally true to everyone, when he changed his theology he would be contradicting his own previous statements.

He didn't she you shouldn't be biased, he in fact said that he was proud of his biased work.
What he said was that you should remain NEUTRAL when talking about it, which means you wont win people over by saying "God is amazing, he can cure everything and have a plan for us all". A person will at the very least hesitate if they can sense that you're trying to convince them.
If someone asks us about our religion, we should simply speak from the heart. Anyone that senses our sincere happiness will be more open to the concept of converting.
I've done it several times with success. Brought people to Christianity.
More accurately,
God used me as a tool to bring people to Christ.
That said.

Congratulations on getting married soon. Ive been watching your channel for a few years and although i didnt convert because of you, your mear precence as a younger christian made it feel more paletable.

Any advice for me? I’m 24. Recently gained faith (I had a past with the faith but fell away young)
I’ve been married for nearly five years and we have both been critical of religion throughout.
My wife seemed upset with my lack of talking about church before I started going suddenly
When I bring it up to her to try and talk she seems to shut down.
Prayers would be much appreciated. God bless
Side note: I was one of those whom your videos helped save zoomer. All glory to God but you helped with my love of theology before I even loved Christ. I didn’t know of the poll but I’m sure me and many others have the same experience 😊
I’ve been married for much shorter than you, but all I can say is to fulfill the calling you are called to as a husband. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”
Ephesians 5:25 ESV
It’s not an easy task, to love as perfectly as Christ loved is an impossible task, but when your wife looks at you she should be able to see Jesus. Whether she knows it or not. Living sacrificially to the utmost degree. If the change is evident, there will inherently be curiosity. And not being able to talk about something as important as your faith shows an area of weakness between y’all (even if it might be on her part) when it comes to communication that needs to be fixed. But again, most importantly. Love your wife as Christ loves the church and gave himself up for her.
I think it's important to establish that you're still the same person you were before. With heavily secular communities there's this fear that religion "brainwashes" people. You're still you.
With that made clear, I'm assuming you both consider yourselves fairly rational people if you were both critical of religion, in which case explaining how coming to faith was the rational choice for you would further help.
This is important to defuse any potential lingering distrust or animosity. If she feels like you're not the same person you were, or that you made a major life choice like this on an emotional whim rather than through rational thought, then of course she'd be distrustful of any conversation on the topic.
Ultimately, her faith and potential conversion is in God's hands, not yours. Pray as usual and God will put it on your heart when the time is right.
It's sort of like starting to believe in Santa Claus when you're an adult. I can see her side of things.
@@whoslistening cute analogy I suppose?
99.999% of Christians need to realize we have a common enemy. There are differences between the churches, but no matter which denomination you go to (that actually follows Christ), you are still with Him. There needs to be more unity among different denominations, but we are all fighting the same fight.
When the church was in power, we had the luxury to say "I follow Paul" and "I follow Apollos". But these are pagan times, and we must follow Christ and none else.
We must not be concerned with "ruling" the church and lording over our brothers. Jesus rebuked the disciples for thinking that way. Too much division comes from struggling for who will be in charge of whom, when it's not Biblical.
Agreed. We all need to come together and have more outer denominational dialogue and works in the communities. This can be said for all Christians, especially Protestants.
Atheist here. I watch every single one of your videos. Though I'm not converted (yet), I love how reasonably you express theology.
Too many people take the 'with us or against us approach', and its nearly impossible to learn about the faith from their videos without getting defensive.
Its true only God can and does save.
I think everyone should share the gospel in their own unique sphere of influence.
Whether your a researcher, businessman, student, theres going to be people whom you will interact with who would never go to church or google anything about Christ, BUT you will be in a better position than anyone else to be able to share to them the gospel. And remember this may be in a one-on-one conversation, gospel tract, consuling someone during a loss, etc.
Remember the power of Gospel is what transforms.
Like Paul said, I come to you not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the power of the Spirit, so that your faith wouldn't rest on human wisdom, but on the Spirit of God
I always tell people about the heart posture that has changed. Jesus healed my heart!

@@WarriorcatGerdathats why hes a zoomer
I kind of disagree that strong institutional churches are what would lead to a religious revival. I could cite examples of countries like Poland, and many European countries where they do have a strong, centralized church institution with lots of community influence, but that isn't really helping them stem the tide of secularism. I think an argument on why America is having more resilience to secularization compared to Europe is because America has a huge diversity of denominations competing in a survival of the fittest way.
Right now we're living in a time where mainstream institutions are more distrusted than ever. The education system, the government, the media, and yes, the big churches, are generally seen with distrust and being out of touch, and this kind of skepticism of mainstream institutions spills over to everything. It's kind of why populist movements are growing everywhere, why dominant political parties are getting hammered in Europe and American politics is becoming increasingly populist. And why the fastest growing churches are normally the new churches with few roots, since they go against the idea that they're establishment and out of touch. Pentecostalism and non-denominationalism being the best examples. I know this isn't probably what you want, but I'm just the messenger.
I think we're headed for an era of decentralization, not just in church, but in pretty much everything, just because the Western population has grown extremely skeptical of any centralized concentration of power.
Jesus prayed for the Church to be one, not decentralized. Despite how secularism is taking over most of the west, here in Italy we often laugh about how things are going in the USA in the woke department.
@@Furetto126The early Church was not very centralized. You just had a bunch of Apostles all going around and starting churches randomly wherever people would listen to their preaching. You had local leaders like in Jerusalem yes, but definitely nobody was presiding over the whole global church, that only came later once the bishops started gaining more power and authority. That's when they started competing with each other for control and how we eventually got the papacy.
@@legodavid9260 i dont want to be that guy, but source?
@@Furetto126 I think what he means is that there were multiple local churches, which is facts as we look in the Bible, then you had the apostles like Paul who wrote letters and visited the other local churches (keep in mind there was 1 church group per city "THE Church in Corinth" for example. I'm still new in my faith to Christ and studying the Bible so I'm not sure if there are any verses talking about a church hierarchy, but it seems like it doesn't give too much guidance from what I've read so far on a structure, other than the people further along in their spiritual journey should help the newer in understanding the Bible, but all regardless of their level of understanding should preach the Word.
TL;DR: The Church was split between multiple cities and being guided by the apostles which I what I assume he means as I am unaware of verses referring to a hierarchy beyond the local church (even though the churches new each other and would visit each other)
@@Furetto126 I'm being descriptive, not prescriptive. I'm not saying this is good, just describing the situation.
I am part of a hundred and one year old Congregational Baptist Church in the Philippines. We are small but have but have a network of churches in the Philippines and a Christian Elementary and High School which is the best in the City. We teach Christianity to our students and our members share the gospel in the workplace.
Through the church I grew up in (a non-denominational one) I have had a decent amount of success in evangelism. Through our church's outreach programs, specifically our children's basketball league, many have started coming to church. The formula we used for that was to start by having a goal of outreach and a creative mind on how to get people in the doors for the outreach, followed by building the relationships. If someone walks into a church building for the first time and feels welcomed by a bunch of friendly people, they're more compelled to return. It has had quite a large success for the congregation with over half of the congregation being brought through the church doors by the basketball program and kept in the doors through relationships. I recently moved away from my parent's town and have started attending a new church affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene where I'm trying to get some outreach going to grow this congregation.

I live in the South (technically, it's a border area, but culturally, we are a blend of southern and mid-western). There is a phrase here that might be a good strategy for evangelism: "Proclaim the gospel every day. When necessary, use words." Essentially, allow the Holy Spirit to direct your life. Be a good Christian: be kind and truthful. Let others see Christ in your actions and in how you treat others.
Honestly, as a Christian.

Btw. You are wrong. There are so much Cathecists in the Catholic Church. You cannot preach in the pulpit unless you are a deacon or a priest, but the Catholic Church has the most schools built around the entire world. All those schools are in need of high quality Christian teachers. I myself, when I was in university, under the Ateneo Cathecetical Instruction League, would go to the boundoks and preach the Bible to children in poor areas of the Philippines. The Church just has more regulation when it comes to lay preaching, but that is a good thing in order to prevent heresies.

Enjoy the videos a lot, I even appreciate the critique of my side, we definitely have a very individual view, I think it works well for me, but I definitely have a better view of the other denominations now - might actually try one in the future. I think if anything it's a very unifying channel, because you always focus on Jesus/the main message of the Bible.

Catholics might not create a Sunday school like Protestants do, but we can start apostolates and fellowship groups that are essentially the same thing. I’m part of one, where the priest lets us gather in the basement after Mass.

I have a question: I already attend a more conservative offshoot/minor denomination. It's a very nice church full of very nice, committed people. I understand that preserving mainline churches is critical, but I don't think it would be good for me spiritually to leave my church and start trying to carry the weight of a local mainline church without being enriched myself. What can I do without leaving my church to still help preserve mainline churches.
Stay in your church. Don’t let a guy who doesn’t know you, your church, or your circumstances tell you to leave your church just so you can “preserve mainline Protestantism.” I’d say the only reason you should leave your church is if you have significant issue with doctrine(s) it teaches. I’m not who you asked, but that’s what I think.
Remain there, if you are not in a non-denominational you are fine. Try to serve in your local church by teaching in Sunday school or by helping in church activity. We all try to bring more people to Christ, and all the preserving the mainline is for evangelizing more, you can make a difference by participating in your community. If you want to help to revive the mainline maybe you can donate to their NGO in his website

God's grace has been the greatest thing that has happened to me in my life, and while I do agree with a lot of things in this video, I'm strongly against the idea that God chooses to convert people. God's love grace and salvation is like a gift. He offers it to the world, and although many people accept it, many people also decline his offer. It's for this reason that I don't think God converts people, I just think he empowers believers to spread the gospel and to convert others. I actually converted because of this channel, but I don't think God chose me to be saved, I think I'm saved because he offered me to be saved and I accepted. Great video btw keep up the good work and god bless.

I agree with RZ that reaching the institutions is very important and even crucial for establishing the Gospel in a certain region, but his attack on street preaching and preaching to your friends and family is a hard miss. Why?
Well I could bore you with giving examples of how countless people believed the Gospel due to street preachers and their friends teaching them the Gospel without them asking. I could also tell you of the successes of the great street preachers such as the Wesley brothers and other methodists or I could also mention how the anabaptists gained a huge following even though they were severed from the institutions but I won't bore you with these facts, rather I'll just give a few examples of evangelising from the Bible, since we are Bible believers, aren't we?
During the earthly ministry of our Lord, was He trying to become a pharisee or some sort of a goverment official in order to reach the masses? No, He was a simple woodworker who preached from town centers, boats, synagogues and the temple. According to RZ logic, He was doing it improperly. Were the Apostles any different? No, they employed the same tactics. Just remember the first mass conversions after the coming down of the Holy Spirit.(Acts 2) The Jews who converted in Jerusalem didn't do it because a pharisee or a Roman philosopher told them so, they converted because Peter boldly preached to them the Gospel truth! We cannot abandon the clear biblical principle of evangelising because some other way seems more successful.
To sum it up, we must boldly truthfully and wisely proclaim the Gospel to ALL people using ALL sort of means. We must not put ourselves in a box like RZ tells us to, but wisely and while being led by the Spirit proclaim the Gospel using all techniques, whether they be direct preaching, reaching the institutions, social media, inviting people to church or something else.
In fairness to the Roman Catholics, I don’t think that what you said at 12:15 is accurate. The oldest still-operating church in North America is the Chapel of St. Michael the Archangel in Santa Fe, NM. It was built in 1610, 10 years before the pilgrims landed. I think Catholicism has at least an equal claim with Protestantism as being at least a dominant Christian cultural force, even if the Protestant denominations clumped together ended up having more influence. In the western states at least, (and perhaps in FL and LA) Catholicism definitely had much greater influence than Protestantism.
Agree as a New Mexican Protestant lol.
@@Thatoneguy-pu8ty I forgot about Texas as well. I'd say that Texas, Louisiana, Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and maybe Maryland have the strongest historically Catholic roots.
Catholicism undoubtably has more influence globally and historically but the US has always been predominately a Protestant country. I say this as someone who isn’t Protestant. It’s just an undeniable fact.
Make Christianity Cool Again!
Actually you kinda can "teach a Bible study" in the Catholic Church. The second Vatican council encouraged the laity to be involved in their parishes. Me and my friend each had a group of around 10 teens to prepare for confirmation, but of course a priest supervised us and took care of the more important stuff.
My other friends sing psalms and read the readings in Mass.
You don't have to be protestant to do something in your local church 😎
Hey! Can you please explain the difference between neo orthodox, new Calvinism and New Presbyterian,because I would like to know where I fit in in these three Christian roots
I haven't heard "New Presbyterian"
New Calvinism is an EVANGELICAL movement of mostly Baptists and some Presbyterians to REDEFINE Calvinism as basically just predestination. Major figures include R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, Paul Washer, John Piper
Neo-orthodoxy is a mostly MAINLINE academic movement to try and still hold to historic Christian beliefs while still accepting modern science and scholarship
There's something else called NEO-Calvinism, which was an early 1900s movement of people like Kuyper and Bavinck that focused on cultural transformation
@redeemedzoomer6053 Thanks I was confused and heard of new Presbyterian.I also thought it couldn't be real myself but thanks for helping with the confusion.God bless
A problem I have is I’m Christian in the head, I believe all the essentials logically, but it feels very legalist to me, like an if then statement
I say I love God, I know I do, I MEAN I do, but I don’t feel I do
The prayers I say don’t feel genuine even if I do actually mean them, what do?
I pray for your return to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, established by the Lord Jesus Christ, brother.
