'SHONDO!': A Hebrew Word Meaning 'FOOLISH CHRISTIANS' [well, not really]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- What does 'shondo' mean? Contrary to popular belief amongst American Christians, "SHONDO!" is NOT from a Hebrew word meaning "God, turn it around!" Several experts in Hebrew have confirmed for me there is NO SUCH HEBREW WORD -- formal or slang. In fact, before THIS WAS MADE UP a few years ago, there is NO EVIDENCE any such word with that meaning existed in ANY language.

![A Lesson In CHURCH MAFIA TACTICS [armor bearer/mac brunson]](/img/n.gif)
@SheLovesG0D, the pastor in the video WAS NOT kidding. There was a guest speaker at his church earlier who preached on that word "shondo", and he said it meant "God is turning it around."
This word is NOT poking fun at speaking in tongues, but it is actually being said to be a legitimate Hebrew slang word.
@EvelynPrather, I used CAMTASIA STUDIO 7 software. I used a featured called "full motion capture", where it records everything I do on the screen as well as what I speak into my microphone.
Thanks for the info. I almost got my head bitten off when I told people in church that that shondo crappy was stupid. Glad to see others see it to.
Also…urban dictionary says this-
Shondo
Inner feeling about something. Many old time Christians say Sondo as a another word for the Holy Spirit within them.

Wow.... it’s crazy how this video is hitting things right in the head that still faces the modern evangelical church! Wow Lord.
When I was in the Word of Faith movement some 25 years ago, the favorite fake tongues word was "shandai". Everybody used that word whenever they were "speaking in tongues." This "shondo" word sounds like it is a descendant of that word.
@BCRIBB4real, to your point about ome of the men not being moved by this whole production, I just added a humorous little annotation comment on the video screen at 2:13 highlighting that.
Since I don't go to church anymore, I haven't heard this foolishness before - just plain crazy.
@kevseb66, there are just as many foolish things as occurring all across racial and theological lines. It is a MISTAKE to believe that the majority of this kind of ignorance is concentrated in charismatic/pentecostal circles.
And as for "Black Christians" taking stuff and running with it, in the video beginning at 2:27 you see a blog posting on 'shondo'. That blog is by a WHITE WOMAN, and I put that in the video ON PURPOSE to show this issue was not limited to Black people.
@BlessedPrincess81 what is the English translation of the Hebrew word, "shondo" ?
Answers:
My native tongue is Hebrew and there's no word in Hebrew "Shondo"...
(There is)...
"shanda" is not Hebrew, it's Yiddish - an altogther different language spoken by some Jews.
When someone says, "It's a shanda," (s)he means, "It's a shame."

I think as long as you have exciting "hype" music playing, you can say anything and people will start jumping.
In fact I most people don't even know who Meshach, Shadrach , and Abednego are but get on a church stage, followed with a band that plays everytime you pause then scream into the mic
NEEESHAK (insert music here)
SHADERACK(insert music here)
AND ABINDIGO! then the church goes crazy
LOL@seebirdfish! Are you SERIOUS??? LOL! That's TOO funny!
Interesting......and funny. Your chuckling throughout vid is priceless.
@NotYourTypicalNegro Nonsense is not a matter of race...I believe the whole Bible and Book of Acts, and the Azusa Street Revival, which happened to be a Negro man, whom God richly blessed and used. The question is, Do we follow Jesus, or do we follow weird manisfestations, excitations and human beings? We have to each read our Bibles, have the Holy Spirit and mature so that we may test the spirits and discern good from evil.
@MimiDove9 --actually, that's what I said. I said, that I couldn't find anything to validate the term "Shondo" as being Hebrew and that I found Shonda and its meaning. So,... we're pretty much on the same page...
Wow I used to attend Mighty Fortress and had all the SHONDO gear!! 😩😩😩😩
Once again brother you knocked the ball right out of the park...makes u wonder about the credibility of these jagglegged preachers
I have heard this word many times in the charasmatic circles I grew up in over twenty years ago. Never ever thought to ask:( But I heard it as "Shonda, hey, hey, hey! "LOL
This is a great vid. Sad but I can't help but find so much humor in it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i laughed so hard i almost choked when i read this
The sad thing about this video is that Rudolph McKissick isn't one of these jack-leg preachers with diploma mill degrees.
Wow...amazing, I've always heard people playing around saying that word, but never heard them say it means God is turning it around. Be careful for nothing!! That is foolish..you learn something new everyday!
@NotYourTypicalNegro btw since you didnt know speaking in tongues is in many different languages!! some of them are dead lannguages some are angelic languages as well! its not just in hebrew! it would be good for you to know these things prior to! LOL!!
Great video, but some of these viewer comments are harsh. We trust schools to teach our children. We trust the government to ensure our best interests. We trust our law enforcement to protect and serve. They all fail us at times. Does that make us dumb and stupid? It's true that Christians need to be educated, read the Word themselves, and discern - but it is a work in progress and we have a LONG way to go. Let's encourage our brothers and sisters - name calling isn't effective.
@Notyourtypicalnegro....i think it's great that you are investigating and challenging people to do research and not just take what is given to them. There is a pastor called G. Craig Lewis from exministries who has actually been challenging Christians to research things by calling certain ministers, movements out etc. He's been doing it over probably 10 years now. You should check him out.
Great video again. I get tired of people in pulpits making false claims about the original languages of the Bible. Thanks for the video, brother. We need to be like the Bereans who checked what they were told instead of just believing it blindly.
@everybody watching and laughing! if you studied the bible like you study some of the other things you study you'd know that tongues is not just hebrew! thats why it called tongue(S). it can come form literally millions of languages some that dont even exist any more! God is able to do what He wants to do and will have you speaking in a language no one understands or can interpret but Him! because thats who youre supposed to be talking to in the first place!
This is why yall need to study your bible and go to a word church while you think you know it is in the word... study
@1killacomic, apparently you do not listen very well:
1) The issue is that certain preachers are claiming that the word "shondo" is Hebrew, when there is NO EVIDENCE that this word ever existed in Hebrew with the meaning they claim.
2) As for your earlier comment about be supposedly showing how "Black Christians" were "gullible", if you paid attention to the video, you'd see the blog I displayed at 2:30 explaining "shondo" was by a WHITE WOMAN.
smh... I have no further comment.
@1killacomic:
1) I'm not sure what the skin color of a Hebrew or a Christian has to do with anything. When we all stand before The Most High in judgment, such a matter will not be under consideration.
2) As for your final question, the scriptures teach that EVERYONE will be held accountable for his own sins.
Please explain exactly the point you are trying to make, because I'm still not getting it.
@kevseb66, I'm not really sure there's adequate evidence to support what you're claiming. And if you look at the highlights of charismatic/pentecostal aberrant teaching and phenomena, they have almost exclusively been first introduced or initially embraced by White Americans.
I decision to Google this word because u know discernment 4 me kicked in & I'm realizing that most tongues I'm hearing are not biblical.
Oh this is sad!!!!. I will be sure to give my church family the heads up on this garbage!
@404momii, don't apologize -- it is indeed HILARIOUS.,
Amen; thanks for doing research on this. Actually, the use of this word in churches did originate with the so-called tongue-speaking that many of them do. As you said, it is not Hebrew for "God's going to turn it around or complete turnaround". Actually, as some other commenters below have indicated that it means "penis" in a Zimbabwean language (Shona). The Holy Spirit would not inspire someone to be speaking under His Spirit about a "penis". It is said how people fall for stuff like this!
It means quartz in Kenyan. It means something in Vietnamese too.
I mostly heard Christians in the say this word "Shanda". That is not a Hebrew word. It is Yiddish another language spoken by some Jews. The word "Shanda" means "a shame or pity". I know that they didn't do any research or Bible studying to know the meaning. Most Christians haven't read anything other than the scriptures that their leaders instructs them to. I have read from Genesis to Revelations. It took me over a year to finish. That is a book you can never forget once read. Doesn't matter if you are religious or not. I just don't like to people being lead wrongfully. It is better to read the entire Holy Bible as being a Christian. No matter how long it takes you. Don't worry about how everyone else is reading it. Do research on the history of the Holy Bible. Especially, the King James version. I did this myself. I went to Brooklyn Tabernacle Bible Institution. I became certified by the State of New York, as a "Bible Study Teacher". I volunteered for my cousin who was a ordain Minister and his wife an Evangelist. I don't deal with churches. I have been told to leave churches, by many. By the leaders, they closed the door on me. They didn't like that I was different. I want people just to know the truth for themselves.That sharing truth is caring to me. I will never change. Thanks for you for sharing your research in this video. Blessings❤
Where do you live, girl? What state?
Hello, I live in Savannah, Georgia now..😃
Bianca Mossiah wow Savannah and that brilliant , I agree with what you said
@afrapuffs Yiddish isn't slang Hebrew but a combination language of Hebrew and German
I commend u on your research...more peple need to o the same. Thanks for sharing this
Wow, I never heard of this word before... fascinating!
@christianpreachr My responce to this video reflects my observation as black human being. From that perspective, there is obvious "compartmentalization" that can't be ignored. The plain truth is a disproportionate number of BLACK charismatic persons are guilty of grabing something they heard somewhere & without any real thought or study, turn it into the phrase of the moment mess which often lacks proper spiritual & or scriptural validity.
@MrBrightmc, I think that looking this word up in the 'Greek" would be YOUR job...
@jaygresh, a very good observation indeed.
Well, I have brother! - Harley Howard
Like you, I can't find anything to validate the term "Shondo" whether Hebrew or not. But I did run into Shonda which is supposedly Yiddish & means: a shame; a pity... and based our mutual findings... what a coincidence.
I think that you may be thinking of the YIDDISH word 'shanda' which means, 'scandal, a great shame'. Like,...It's a shanda for the neighbors to see that our house is not clean. It's a shanda that my son got arrested for drunk driving. IT'S A YIDDISH WORD. SHANDA NOT SHONDO. Shando is a not a word at least not in Hebrew or in Yiddish.
@kevseb66 u have a website for a greek lexicon?
First time I've ever heard of this word
Shondo brother!! LOL!!!
Also if we really ask the Lord n prayer 2 let us know if its right. He'll let us know if we seek the truth. But if we keep thinking we're right because that's what we're used to, or cuz they say it on Sundays, how can God show u the truth? We need 2 humble ourselves & ask God 2 show us.
I thought I heard Bishop Week's 2nd wife (I forgot her name not Juanita) say that word during one of her chants,LOL. Just the term "Hebrew slang" rubs me the wrong way, it says to me that the word "Shondo" is board and ambiguous and the TRUTH is; straight is the gate and narrow is the way! And for them to say that apart of the meaning means GOD should be red flag, because there were many gods so who are they talking about? And from my research The Most High had a name and it wasn't GOD.
It's actually a Hebrew word but you have misspelled it and it means: move or shift #yourwelcome
@BlessedPrincess81
Urban Dictionary--

Wha shondo? and at EduQnA--
It's sad indeed..
Wow... All of this over a simple UA-cam video... LOL...
The word "shondo" is not spoken "in tongues", as you call it. People are saying it is a Hebrew word with a certain meaning. So your comment has nothing to do with anything here.
Urban Dictionary:
1. shondo 24 up, 17 down
buy shondo mugs, tshirts and magnets
Intentions or immediate plans.
Wha shondo?
Wow! The dead church in Revelation is not a joke the church is dead. The blind leading the blind is getting out of hand and the sad part is it's all about MONEY. I had no idea Elohim or his son was for sale, thanks for the heads up but I promise you it's worser than we think!!!!!
What I'm saying to you is, is where the term shondo, as it is being spelled has actually derived. it seems you want to know where it really came from. Not by the way of the Hebrew language or Hebrew slang, but by the presence of the Spirit of The Lord. The Bible says in all they getting, to get an understanding. I'm not bashing your findings as they happen to be correct. But we should not only acknowledge what is not, without acknowledging what is.......Shalom and God Bless!
Great information
I know you don't want to put it this way but this stupidity is only prevalent in charismatic, holiness, penticostal circles & not the church world in general. What really irks me is how black Christian run with mess like this without any thought or reasoning whatsoever.
If you are looking to transate the speaking of tongues, it wont be done in the natural, but by way of the spirit of The Lord who lives within us. The world is natural but the things of God are spiritual. lean not to thine own understanding and seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and ye shall find! Shalom!!
LOL @chawlatthai.
You still mad at me? LOL...
@kevseb66 Trust me...it is not just Black Americans or White Americans or any other specified Americans. It is people who cannot discern real from fake. Love ya in the Lord!!!!!!!!
I'd like to use the term jokingly but am afraid it may be witchcraft
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what any of this means. The word "shondo" did NOT come from people speaking tongues. As I told you previously, people are saying this is a HEBREW WORD.
However, I pointed out through my research there is no such Hebrew word. Which means either people are lying on purpose or they don't know what they're talking about. In either case, they should stop saying it because it doesn't mean anything.
Good day.
@kevseb66 There is only 1 church...any church that teaches Jesus Christ crucified is that church. There's no black or white christians, there are only saved people. Compartmentalizing like that is what stops of from being unified and taught the truth. The more we separate ourselves, the more we restrict teachings. Why? Because we label them and say their not for us. 1 God, 1 Messiah, 1 Church, 1 Faith
God keep you.. we are all sucesptable to deception without the holy spirit..
I didnt hear that the word was hebrew. I heard it was greek. I was trying to look it up myself. I try not to take whatever ppl say as gospel unless I really a true confirmation in my spirit and thorough study. So if you could kindly look it up in the greek and repost I would greatly appreciate it. THANKs

Not Shondo, but it’s alleged meaning. Is there a connection between this word, “shub”, & “shondo”?
I could tell in my spirit it was not holy
LOL @ phimos5392
i thought the word was shondai or shondi. idk but it could be the same thing
na cous street preacher that are preaching the true gosple and risking there life on the front lne as evangilist dont get paid why should the pastor? street ministery i believe has been ignored verry much as far as spreding the gosple to reach the lost for christ inseason and out of season i dont believe in making money of the lord but i do belive in investing in it when alot of chruches dont think its important cous they busy doing 100 other things to me church can become a business?
What a shame
The only "shondo" I'm familiar with is the word I hear when some are speaking in tongues, lol. I am in no way making fun of the authentic demonstration of the gifts of Spirit. I am, however, tired of hearing shondo-fied fake tongues. Just sayin...
My God
wow!
smh wow... go to church ask god pray
Hebrew slang? 😂😂😂😂😂
@NotYourTypicalNegro apparently you dont know as much as you claim or are as enlightened as you portray or maybe worse of all is more typical than you'd care to admit! only typical wanna be's spend time criticizing other people instead of making their own mark in the world! maybe all this pinned up hostility and anger comes from being molested by your father figure or what ever it was you can move on with your life if you focus on forgiving them and yourself. its wasnt your fault!
"gullible"... Christians should be able to trust their pstors. If they can't, the people aren't gullible, the pastors are either dishonest or unreliable.
Maybe the members of that church shold "Shondo" themselves into a new church.
btw...good catch....
