I didn't see anyone else stating the obvious...WHY didn't someone on the VBS leadership team read this book (the Brick Bible) before offering it as a prize to one of the children? I have a difficult time understanding this. Our pastor and discipleship team goes over every curriculum, book, pamphlet, and handout that is displayed/given in our church. I go to a small church, but our VBS is the largest outreach we have every year. To me this book being given out at VBS was a major failure of leadership.
Most church leaders actually don't pay attention. They just go by what's going to attract people to church, and that's why there's such a huge heresy problem as well as the responding wave of "deconstructionists" in the American church. Most pastors think their only job is to teach.
Well, I have the brick Bible and my kids love it because I actually Read the Bible to them daily so the brick Bible isn't shocking. People need to read it before believing others.
I didn’t have a story book bible as a kid, and I was taught everything about bible stories including the blood, I never felt disturbed, just took it as it was.
As a mom of a 12 and 10 year old, let me just say how FAST it goes and how MUCH “time to yourself” you’ll find you have in almost no time at all. For years now I e been able to sleep in, my kids can feed themselves, and I can go take a nap, run errands easily, etc. We as parents will have so much more time to ourselves than we ever will have “tied up” in sacrificing for our kids. Even if you have a bunch of kiddos, the same as I already said. IT IS WORTH IT AND IF YOU ARE ABLE, HAVE CHILDREN. And do it in your twenties lest it become more difficult to conceive. You will wish for the messy house when all of a sudden it’s clean, quiet, and your kids are gone. I dread the day 😢
May God bless you all in the almighty name of Yeshua ha'Moshiach, amen! ❤ call on the name of Yeshua ha'Moshiach, and He will answer. He DIED for YOU so that YOU may have ETERNAL LIFE with HIM. Turn from your sin and trust and follow Him with all your heart and soul. He took the penalty for sin of the world upon Himself so that WE may have everlasting life with God almighty. To be separated from God is death. Death is the penalty for sin. Please take this free gift of eternal life that God has offered us in the almighty name of his son, Yeshua/Jesus. He loves us more than we can fathom. We are HIS children created in HIS image. I am spreading the love of Yeshua by loving YOU! Yeshua will give you a reason. Yeshua will give you hope. Yeshua will give you love unconditional. Yeshua will give you freedom. Yeshua will change you from the inside out and make you new, with new desires of your heart. I am telling you this because I love you and don't want you to suffer now or in eternity. Love you all forever ❤ And now you know the gospel. ❤ And now you know the truth and the truth will set you free ❤
0:11 "And, as it turns out thousands of unsuspecting parents and children have been duped by what looks like an innocuous story book Bible." This is mind boggling. How did thousands of people get duped by it? Don't parents do research and READ what they give to their children and what they pass out in churches?!
Ironically, this book is an accurate depiction of many Bible stories. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO VIOLENT!!! Then again, how many Christians actually read the Bible? Most people I know who have actually read the Bible become atheists
@@Xaforn That's amazing to me. Even when I've bought things for other people's children, I do my research and look through it. I'd do even harder research these days!
I'm a childless woman who really wants kids but hasn't yet been blessed with the opportunity, and the treating-pets-as-kids thing is a HUGE pet peeve of mine (no pun intended). I adore my cat and absolutely strive to give her the best care I can, but she is not my "daughter" and I am not her "mother". I didn't adopt her as a stand-in for a child, but rather because I just happen to like cats and would want one regardless of whether or not I had kids. I understand why some people in my position would find the idea of being their pet's "parent" comforting, but to me it just feels like such a massive cope and it drives me crazy that it's seen as almost the default way to be a pet owner (every time I take my cat to the vet the people working there refer to me as her "mama"). Very frustrating! Pets are awesome and imo absolutely count as "members of the family", but having a pet is not the same as raising an actual human child, and conflating the two has always sat poorly with me.
As a mom to 5 actual children it frustrates and offends me simply because to downgrades and almost dismisses everything I do as a mom to actual children. A dog or cat is in nowhere near the same as a child and the care they need is quite different outside of the basics of food shelter and medical care as needed. But day to day living, raising pets is far different than raising children.
I have seen fake Christians manage VBS and promote non-Christian themes. These same people used church events to decorate with Satanic symbolism. Yet, the pastors could not see it, and if you mentioned it you would be labeled as imagining things. As to promoting animals, it goes back to Genesis when God created THREE groups of beings on the SIXTH day: humans-Adam and Eve / slithering things - snakes, lizards, crocs, etc. / livestock-cattle- bulls, cows, goats, pigs, sheep, dogs, cats, etc. These three groups of beings created on the SIXTH day rebelled against God and hence 666. From this point on, Satan ruled the world and satanic/pagan kingdoms worshipped hybrid human-animal gods. In these androgynous kingdoms same sex intercourse was common and also sex with animals as the book of Leviticus mentions. Satan is trans > like the god Baphomet, part male, part female and part animal.
Agreed. Unless they are actual service dogs. Then I'm 1000% for it. I love cats, I'm ok with dogs, and I believe that animals really don't need to be everywhere and propped up as replacement children. They are beloved pets, they hold value, but they aren't children. They're animals. That's it.
So true about our current animal culture: heavily promoted by those that stand to make lots of $$ by humanities animals. There is financial gain in convincing people that their pet is equal to family. Each time I bump into this aniology I wonder why many who r so devoted to painless, right to life for animals , think nothing of & support tearing babies apart at any time during their 1st nine months of life. It is a total disconnect. BTW I love animals, I have a tender heart for them & have a certified support dog. I also love people.❤
Re: Flying First Class vs having children. Back in 1992, when my younger daughter was 6 weeks old, we flew from Illinois to Texas. When my husband went up to the gate to check us in & he was holding our daughter. The lady at the gate offered to bump us up to 1st class. My husband if course said yes. We never would have gotten 1st class if we had not had our daughter.
It's a real shame that demoniacs have hijacked the nation.

Perhaphs you shouldn't indoctrinate you children into a zombie-cult which believes in a flat earth and a god that is constantly commiting genocide and gives children cancer?
Christ means anointed one in Hebrew it would be HaMachiach. Christ is not a last name, it is a title. We are so used to saying things from the Latin that we forget his real name would be Yoshua better translated as Joshua. This also has a meeting, the meaning is promised savior. Jesus the Christ is the promised savior, Holy anointed one. he is the Isaiah 53 savior of the world, whom “by his stripes we are healed.” The Word made physical didn’t come for some, he didn’t come to condemn, “ For God, so love the world that he gave us one and only son, that whoever believes, shall not perish, but have eternal life for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him, Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” Form the book of John. Make sure you truly know what you’re rejecting and the consequences of rejecting God who loves you so much that he sacrificed for you even if you don’t accept the sacrifice and choose eternal separation from God and all is good instead of the free gift he has for you if you humble to his love and the forgiveness we all need as sinners who don’t deserve what Jesus’ blood bought for us, to be saved.
@@billm9775 Yep. Children should only know the happy parts. They don't need to know about the death and harm and tragedy in the Bible. Why should they know about that? /s
Worry is the enemy of faith. Worry forgets that Jehovah is in control. Our omnipotent Father is both willing and able to protect his Children. Thanks for all you do. God bless you and your family 🙏🇺🇸
@@janvan4424everything is predestined by each soul that chooses to Incarnate in each lifetime in whatever particular body they choose. Earth is just for learning lessons and we are here to transform that by creating Heaven on earth, through recognizing our true selves and our ability to not only heal ourselves, but to heal others. Some Brussels incarnate in bodies that are only meant to be here for a short time because it teaches lessons to others, and that was a soul contract that they agreed on, karmic soulmates teach us our hardest lessons, perhaps twin flames come along as well. And of course there are all types of soulmates that we choose to run into in each lifetime, which is why we recognize each other and the connection resonates❤
@@janvan4424I disagree. Just because we may go through hard times doesn’t mean that He isn’t protecting us- or did I misunderstand what you were saying?
Yes, but God wants us to pray to Him for protection and guidance. We have to pray incessantly for the evil that’s around us. There’s a fierce battle going on between the good and the evil and we ought to take part in it. It’s time for diligent prayer.
Thank you for your comments about the animals. I am so sick of people taking their PETS everywhere! I have allergies to animals, and apparently the animals are more important than me according to these people.
Any woman that honestly thinks that flying first class is worth not having kids, should never have kids. They are too selfish to be a good mother. I hope they truly enjoy their flights.
😂 I grew up in the 70 -80s I was given picture bibles. Trust me, they were graphic. Allie almost says the quiet part outloud. Why do you have to cut sections out or sugar coat the Bible for children? How do think they would actually feel later on when they do read the whole thing. Or is it your hope they do not.
It bothers me to hear people say they value animals more than people. A person that Jesus died for is more valuable than an animal, and saying that you value animals more than them is saying that you reject God'ss priorities.
We were given the role as caretakers of the land. Authority over all. Without us, what happens to the animals? Without the animals, what happens to us? The creation has a natural balance that they are breaking.
Yes! Even obnoxious children are more valuable to God! They are image bearers, animals aren't. I don't let my grandchildren tease or hurt my dog, I teach them to respect him, however if there were a fire I would save them first! Does that make me an animal hater? How many ppl who love dogs/cats, etc. more actually eat meat?
I feel so guilty that it hurts me to see an animal in pain sometimes more than a human. I’m working on it and I appreciate your comment. You’re so right that makes it a bit more easy for me to view. God bless you.
We discovered this Bible at the library about 10 years ago and I was disgusted and asked the librarian to pull it from the children’s section. I can’t believe it’s still around! I’ve been sharing with parents for a decade how awful this Bible is and you can’t believe the pushback that I’ve received! Thank you for bringing this to the attention of parents!
Cognitive dissonance... It's hard for people to truly wrap their heads around the fact that some people are seemingly "out to get" us and our children. They don't want to know because then they will have to reconsider many things and maybe make serious changes which most people seldom seek after.
Get out of the other people's libraries. Children can be exposed to ideas you don't like. In this case, they're literally just being exposed to the text of your Bible. Pretty stupid stuff in there, huh? Well, that's your problem, not the world's.
But would you tell your child they are going to hell unless they follow god's word? Either the comic is bad because the source it came from is bad or both can be shown to children without censorship.
I love animals too, but growing up I lived in a low income household, and we constantly had 5 to 6 dogs and several cats. I enjoyed having a house full of animals growing up but looking back now I don’t understand why my dad prioritized the dogs over the five children had, specially when I turned 18 I moved out and the first time I went back to visit one of the dogs bit the tip of my finger off I’m not saying that he had to put the dog down, but I don’t understand why keeping a dangerous dog was more important than his own daughters safety …
I’m sorry to hear that. My dad and his parents have prioritized their pets as well, and it sucks. I love animals too, but it can be nice with the peace and quiet.
My heart goes out to you, hun. My sister's dog bit a neighbor's finger completely off and swallowed it. Scary. But my sister said she had warned her neighbor not to go in the back yard and not to try to pet her dog either. She didn't listen and suffered for it.
We had a dog and cat when I was growing up. I loathe dogs because of that dog. It was a poodle but wasn't taken care of it pooped everywhere and was always pregnant. There was always dog turds in my childhood playroom and even til this day I cringe if I see dog poop I gag at the smell of it and I can't stand dogs. The cat was cool though she was litter trained and smarter than the dog.
Just yesterday my best friend said something like “well, they (dogs) are her children” when talking about my cousins and how one is finally making my aunt a grandma (to a human). They were both dog moms before. I didn’t want to get in a discussion about it, but was taken aback.
@@mdenichols1182 Because dogs are vile and filthy nasty they sniff other dogs butts they eat their own and other animals vomit they get fleas ticks and worms and they stink.
I am a barren woman who loves children, have worked with children and still do. I also have dogs. I don't believe I worship them. I see myself as their dog mom because I do for them as I would a toddler. But mostly I see myself as a steward. But to say that the worship (or what you call worship) of an animal is a sacrifice of children is not something I agree with wholeheartedly. Why? Because I have tried adopting and you get charged highly to adopt a child. Whatever happened to opening your heart and home to a child. When did it become a purchase? Dogs are cheaper to adopt. I see many women who are awesome mom's and I thank God for them every time I think about it. Yet I also see many who abuse theirs and feel angered that they could accomplish what I couldn't and they throw it away. So yes I love my pets. They bring me joy. But I, in no way sacrifice children for it. It just never works out for me.
I pray that all who long to find the one Jesus created for them will be ready when it happens. May your walk with Jesus lead you to your future family. Have a spectacular day sister in Christ. May Jesus bless your family and friends and pets. th-cam.com/users/shortsAhjqcNyhICs?feature=share
I am a childless dog lover and I totally agree with you. However, I always close and never put groceries or my handbag in that cart seat because of all the diapered bottoms which have occupied that seat before I came along. My boyfriend calls it the 'fecal seat'. So I guess it goes both ways.😊
@@L.Fontein7 Kids certainly can be super gross, but a diapered bottom is very different than bare animal bung hole. But, yeah, generally I bet we’d be appalled at how absolutely nasty those carts are. 😂
There's been research on how filthy grocery cart handles are. A lot or most people don't even wash their hands after going to the bathroom then unknowingly share their fecal bacteria when grabbing the handle of the cart. UGH! Just remember to wash your hands when your done grocery shopping.
About 10 years ago I bought it at the Christian school book fair. I gave it to my son and he opened up he was like 5/6 years old and he was reading it and the very first story of genesis when God it was something really wrong with it. My son read it and came to me and said: something it’s wrong with this Bible, take it back! And i searched about the author and sure enough, he is an atheist.
I think there is a moviee or show on amazon based off of this book. I remember turning it on and watching the Eden scene. Something was off about it so I turned it off
Everything in the Brick Bible is in the regular Bible. The author even includes chapter and verse so you can look it up. Apparently, like many Christians, you have never read the Bible. You just cherry pick the parts you like and ignore the rest.
I'm also an atheist. Christians like you actually believe that I'm destined for Eternal torture with my entire family. Atheists like me would never think such horrible awful terrible things about their fellow human beings. Enjoy your indoctrination sweetheart
I can understand why this is alarming, however, are we going to pretend that these explicit things don't happen throughout the Bible? And with the peace table you showed, I do not agree that the examples given to make peace are evil. Aren't we supposed to care for God's creation? Recycling instead of throwing things away, biking instead of riding in a car shows respect for what God created. We use and abuse so much in this world. I would be much happier to see a child learning how to be responsible and respectful in this way than to let them take advantage of anything they want to just because God gave us dominion.
I just read the brick bible. It does a good job representing the bible and telling the stories. All your comments just tell me that you really haven't read the bible. There is absolutely nothing in there that isn't in the bible itself. The bible isn't a children's book, and the lego bible isn't either. There is a lot of sex, violence, rape, slavery, incest, genocide, infancide, mutilation, etc in the bible. maybe get the kids version of the lego bible, or maybe expose your kid to the whole bible from the start. Or is the uncensored bible too much to for children and maybe should also be removed from school libraries?
@@compendiousone8247The version that was given to the kid was the ADULT version. The church camp messed up by not reading what they give to the kids, before giving it to the kids. 🤦🏻♀️ If the camp would’ve done their job properly, they would’ve realized that there is a KIDS version available as well. Don’t blame the author for the church camps mess up, just because she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Oh, and if you are a Christian, you should behave like one and not misgender the author, just because you don’t agree with how she lives her life. I would suggest you read Leviticus 19:18.
Also its how you know if someone is abusive because animals are in a sense defenseless...and if you can.abuse an animal.easily then you will abuse a human just as easily and freely
This is such a good example of how Christians lack discernment. We should be investigating all the Children's storybook Bibles. Obviously a quick search of the author should have alerted any buyers...and then a quick look instead should have sealed the deal.
So, hey, here's a fun question: If the Bible is the word of God and the Brick Bible is literally nothing more than a picturebook version of the Bible (since all of the text in the book is lifted verbatim in the Bible), for what reason is "exposing children to the unabridged and uncensored version of the Bible" morally repugnant instead of morally righteous?
@@StoneStephenT Because most pearl clutching christians dont read their bibles and are shocked when they learn whats actually in there. they get surprised when the bible gets banned from school libraires based on their own decency laws.
The irony of Stuckey’s comments is that The Brick Bible doesn’t take liberties with the text. It depicts the stories as they’re laid out in the book, which means, yes, there’s a lot of disturbing crap everywhere. If that shocks and disturbs you, then your problem lies with the Bible, not with the artist recreating the scenes.
Guys. The Bible is full of history and absolutely imperfect people. It is not "child-friendly." God is love, but not without judgement and anger. As our kids age, we have to teach them what the Bible actually says. I've seen COUNTLESS story bibles sold at mainstream places that depict the same bloody scenes, but in a less child-friendly way than legoes - like a comic book Bible for kids ages 8+ that actually has toddlers with h.e.a.d.s. off being held by crying parents. That's graphic and unnecessary. The Lego Bible mostly follows what the Bible says, and we have to teach our kids. Too many adult Christians don't ever get past the basic stories. Reality is harsh, and reading the Bible in a realistic way with our children is a phenomenal way to address what the Bible says, other verses that show God's thoughts on a topic, and apply that to our real life too. There has to be some upgrade from the feel-good, skim-over-the-ugly-parts of Biblical history and real life too.
That's discouraging. My daughter is raising her almost 5 year old daughter, as we are Brainstorming what to do regarding her education, we keep running into shut doors. I'm just going to say it, We are poor. She us a 6 year recovered addict, young Christian mom who has such a passion to do everything right, at least all that us within her ability. I raised my children as a single mother, the struggles were very real but in the 40 years ago, everything was just much easier. I honescholled my children the first few grades, but had to work to survive. All the idealologies she us facing blows us each away. My granddaughter is very fast, very smart and starting to play a lot if games I hate I. My daughter does watch her time on her tablets, yes plural. I spent a great deal of time preparing her for school so she reads, better than any child I've seen at age 4. She thrives on the stimulation, she has imagination but no friends. We have ,NO good church near us. We have no car, or we'd drive out of our way to church. When my babies were little, I bundled them up and drove 54 mins each morning and evening to a wonderful church. My daughter had an accident with a semi, thankfully she's ok but my car is gone. That is my own fault. I stayed home to watch my very tiny baby granddaughter when it was cold and pouring rain. I ran outside to heat up the car for her, I know God told me, you need to drive. It was VERY plain. I did not listen. I said many times, watch out for the semi's. Let me cut to the chase, I am disabled at 58, I was hit by a drunk driver. Texas HWYS. I'm in City by the sea, not far from Corpus. Their hwys are very dangerous. We would move in a heartbeat, we have no one but each other. I would LoVe to pay for Sherwood. Every single thing is just SO costly. My granddaughter has been playing Legos on her tablet. I haven't seen it myself bc my space/your space is something of a grace my daughter needing to learn and she is. She's in full time college, online for nurse management. She's has a 4.0 so far, and thus is hard content. God has blessed her so much, and my goodness, does she ever have a story to share. She was sex trafficked out by a leader of an Aryan gang. Long and longer story, 3 three tones, she lives, and is pushing through by God's Grace! We just really, really need to head north. We can't stand living in the south. We are anitially from Michigan. Getting OUT in the summertime is HUGE to our health but here, it's not possible.
What a testimony you and your daughter have! It seems to me, with your daughters online school and grades, it will just be a little longer, then she will have a reasonable income for the 3 of you. Hold on sister! Since you are disabled (at home?) I would recommend you homeschool while your daughter studies and works. My 22yo daughter just finished college and since middle school, it has been a long journey through confusion and back. And spiritual battle in prayer against the adversary trying to claim her the whole way. If I knew then what I know now, I would do everything in my power to homeschool to keep her from being exposed to the things she was exposed to in public school. Schools are so very different now. Even in the 4 years between my older boys and my daughter, public school changed radically. Girls are also affected much more easily by social pressures and norms. Also, pick an online church to attend weekly and make it a priority. It’s not as satisfying as attending a real church, but your granddaughter is watching what you do and prioritize, even at her young impressionable age. Keep praying Grandma! The blessings and protection of a praying parent and grandparent cannot be overstated! This is the most important thing you can do!
Find a local homeschool association. They will guide your daughter well. My grandchildren are with a homeschool co op where the moms share their gifts and talents and support each other.
Good resources for anyone starting out homeschooling with a kindergartner and little to no budget: The Kindergarten Read-Aloud Revival. Under The Home. MEP Math. Ambleside Online. Easy Peasy.
Hi Allie, could you point out some particular sections of this Bible that are "not theologically accurate"? I have a copy and to me it's just an illustrated Bible?
She can't, because it is accurate. She is just upset because of who the author is. The book is 100%, she is just confused because she has never read the actual bible.
That, and a child understood something that the parent wasn't ready to explain just yet. So, read with your children. help them, guide them, and explain to them anything that is un clear. Or don't use the Bible as a babysitter, be active, and be present in a chids life. You could randomly flip to any passage and miss understand it's meaning without context and guidance. 16 mins in, and she starts talking about the actual point of focus. So, this is a fluff piece. I don't think she has done her research on the material she's covering. So, she is a journalist. Lol
The Brick Bible was written by an atheist that hated God and his intent was to mock God. He talks all about it in an interview that came out when it was first published. I'm not sure if I could still find it. I can try. He thought it was hilarious that Christian parents were buying it for their children. For example, it shows lot having sex with his daughters. He tried to make the killing scenes graphic and he wanted to show God as an enjoying punishing people (as a monster).
@@billm9775 See my comment above. Also, I can't post a link here, but if you google "brendan powell smith interview about brick bible" and click the first Wordpress link you can read what he thinks about God.
So your criticizing someone who portrayed the bible in the most accurate way and which it states on the cover for 16 and over for turning children away from the Bible? 1.Don't like the Message don't shoot the Messenger and dont show it to children
Idk...I've seen plenty of kids touch their face, nose, dirty floors, you name it then touch food, communal surfaces...etc. Sorry, but that spreads germs and many of them are more communicable to other people than what fluffy the dog is spreading. I remember being on a bus and watching a kid lick the arm rest or put their drooling faces on railings....like I'm sorry but that's more gross than a dog sitting on a floor. I'm not touching a floor, but I might need to hold onto that railing....the problem is that many kids have no manners in this day and age. I do think people over all are important, however I also think God calls people to different things in life and if caring for animals is your calling over having kids then there's nothing wrong with that. He created animals and we have the responsibility of taking care of them. Also, maybe that same "child-free" person has a gift with taking care of the elderly instead of children. I don't think God values one set of gifts over the other.
OOHHH Like the science y'all force on us to in school and Mathematics y'all force us to learn. And Oh worse y'all say if we don't learn your KAK it's illegal?!!
Cool strawman. You go out of your way to insult Christians. Classic hypocrite. I doubt you ever read the Bible, you don't even know what's in it. I have actually read the Bible and continue to do so. The Brick Bible was the issue not the actual Bible.
Thank you so so much for talking about this animal issue!! And I also would ask animal owners just to consider a thought that people are different. Not every girl wants to come to a park and be barked on and get dirty by your lovely dog’s paws. Like literally every dog just goes straight to my girl and wants to play with its paws on my girl’s pretty dress. So much of tears, so much of stress…
There is absolutely no evidence George Washington said that. If you wish to argue your point, fine, simply provide the document source where your quote comes from. My guess though is you'll continue "lying for Jesus" as long as it fits your narrative.
@@LifeLifemoreAbundantly I'm not a troll, and honestly wouldn't care if Washington actually said it, I'm simply suggesting that there's no evidence he did say it. Instead of complaining that I'm a troll, simply provide the reputable source and then I'll apologize and admit I was wrong.
It's pretty sad that so many conservatives are so ignorant that they label anything race related as critical race theory. How about taking the time to learn about what critical race theory is instead of listening to conservative talking heads who are ignorant on the subject or deliberately lying to you.
The pet conversation is SO funny to me 😂 since becoming pregnant Ive become so aware of how gross my dog is. I love him but he used to always lick my face (I KNOW. He eats raw chicken and poop outside) and he sits on my knee with his poopy butt and rolls around in who knows what outside and then sleeps on our bed and couch 😂
Hey, I’m pregnant, too! Congratulations! I’m in the same boat with my dog. At least we can teach our kids how to properly clean up after themselves haha
The text seems to allow such an interpretation. However it is also important to explain to children that the slingshot was not an elastic toy. It was a strap with a cradle for an egg or fist sized stone which a soldier swung around his head at high speed and released. The account says it stove in Galioth's forehead. The amazing part was not the lethality of the weapon but that David wielded it successfully against an experienced opponent who was wearing armor.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him. 51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
I graduated from a Jesuit University with a minor in Old Testament studies. I read the original Brick Bible, but hadn’t heard of the “Brick Bible for Kids,” so I ordered a copy and read it. I read the original version when it was first published and literally found not a single departure, nothing in the slightest, from the Bible and really enjoyed the Lego theme and thought at the time how creative the author was in doing that. Now, after reading the kids version, I can find no inaccuracies or misrepresentations at all in it either. I do however question your own misguided, purposeful or otherwise, confusion of the differences between the original book, and the sanitized kids version in your podcast. If we can’t be honest with ourselves within the community, how can we expect those outside of it to take us seriously?
We have the original one. I'm gonna give it a read. I appreciate that you took the time to read the whole thing before commenting. We cannot base our opinions just on opinions. Thank you for your comment.
Not sure why you would even want to read a “Bible” illustrated by an atheist transgender person. That isn’t Christian at all. I don’t know anything about words in it but to have anything to do with supporting someone against the Bible as they exhibit in their daily life is just mind boggling
It’s been years since I looked into the Brick Bible. I remember that I first knew something was off when the author highlighted all the death in the Noah story. I looked into him. I remember there was a allusion to a woman being “attacked” too. Turns out the author is an unbeliever and the project was done to dupe Christians and to mock God and the Bible. It was produced in a mean spirited tone. It’s too bad because the Bible done right in Legos is an awesome concept.
My main reaction listening to this episode: "Eughhh." 1 Corinthians 2:16: "For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:18: "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
This Lego book is fantastic! True, it's not for little kids but it tells it exactly like it is in the traditional book form of the Bible, nothing is left out.
I'm 47 and childless and not married (not by choice). For some reason it is just not in God's plan for me and I have made peace with the fact that I won't be having children and maybe, also may never marry. My frustration with being a Christian doesn't come from not being blessed with this, but from how I am treated by the Christian community because I am childless and not married. I am made to feel like I have not been strong enough in my faith and overall an abysmal failure as a woman of God. It's disheartening to be made into an outcast, spoken about with derision by the right and in general have my faith called into question. Honestly without God, without my faith, I probably wouldn't be here, typing this comment. I know God has a plan for me and I refuse to be angry because my one dream of having children didn't happen. But I also think there needs to be a shift within Christianity to minister to women like me. I doubt I am the only one. We are loved by God just as much as anyone else.
God calls us each to a vocation. If God didn't call you to become a mother, He may be calling you to be something other than a wife and mother. You can still serve and love God. You can still help children and their families through ministry. Stay open to God's will. Don't let others opinions get in the way of God's plan for you. God bless you.
I was just talking about how weird it is that people call themselves dog or cat moms/dads And call the animals their "children". When I started following Jesus and got reborn I was delivered of my odd affection for animals over humans. Praise the Lord It's definitely not of God. He said to have dominion not to treat animals like human babies.
It’s the JOY that children put in our heart and the complete peace and fulfillment that we have as a family unit following God’s plan. ❤ You are right, there is NOTHING better than that!❤❤❤
I have considered myself an animal lover for years. From childhood pets to my and my husband's first puppy, I loved to spoil them. Then I had my first child. The moment I stepped foot inside my house with my newborn baby in my arms and went through the process of acclimating to our new normal, it became immediately and abundantly clear that I did not and could not love the animals I had adored and cared for for years the way I loved the baby in my arms that I'd known for days. No shot. No comparison. I felt guilty about it for years, but now that I have two kids, my feelings have only gotten stronger and I've come to accept the way it is. I absolutely love and care for my dogs to this day. But I could NEVER imagine putting and animal before a human being - ESPECIALLY a child.
You would think by this point 4 years into this bull crap that parents would realize that you literally have to monitor absolutely everything. We cannot put our guards down. We are just at the beginning and this bull crap is very far from over.
4 years into crap? What crap? Oh no, the country is being led by a man that goes to church every week instead of one that has no church but his own country clubs? He has his followers wearing his mark on their foreheads and convinced christians that he has come to save them, i think i recall something about that in the bible....... but hey, lets just pretend that this is all in the last 4 years and ignore all the years before where kids are being harmed.
So... the Brick Bible is a literal art interpretation of actual stories in your Bible, to say the Brick Bible is bull crap is to say the ACTUAL Bible is bull crap.
I seem to remember when this was first published as a website, and I don't remember it being for children. In fact, it had tab warning about the violence, nudity, etc., and although not explicitly stated, it was implied that the creator was an atheist. I'm not sure what happened in the intervening 24 years, but there's no way this is actually a kids book. I think Christians are missing the anti-Christian dog whistles present.
You are correct she did versions for adults but also did a version for kids without the violence nudity, etc. Of course that violence, nudity, etc is still in the original bible that Christians have supposedly read.
Bigotry, ignorance, confusion and smug self-satisfaction in one person and one place. How do people not see straight through this young woman's nonsense? It is what a significant part of America has become. I despair, I really do.
Animals also die every day in shelters and on the side of the road. 2 things can be true at the same time. Babies in the womb and dogs all need love and protection.
There are tons of children in foster care who need homes. I wonder if given the choice, which G-d would think was more important for Christians to do. All animals do not need to be saved. I think its "ridiculous" the resources and funds that go into rehabbing and rehabbing so many when we can just put them down. People's priorities and selfish interests are messed up
As a chronically ill person I can still do a bare minimum for my dogs who need much less care than kids. I fear couldn't be there for children and it would be emotional neglect. Not everyone is the same. I would absolutely adopt before trying to procreate though. Most families are not adopting like YHWH aka Jesus commands us to care for the orphans and widows.
Liking animals and worshipping them are two different things. You can love your animals with out worshipping them. I love our kitty cats. We take good care of them. We like spending time with them. They are great company. I grew up with lots of animals. My parents were farmers and not the abusive kind. We had animals for years. They were a blessing from God in their own way. When we felt sad or lonely, our animals gave us comfort. It's adorable. We don't worship animals but we do love them. There is nothing wrong with that. We should never ever pressure women to marry or have children. That's not our business. Let God be in control of that situation. You can live your own lives.
What do call a person who believes in the Bible: a Christian. What do you call a person who knows the Bible: an atheist. All of the stories in the brick Bible are In the KJV Bible, sorry that the Bible wasn’t sanitized for your pleasure.
My kids actually received The Christmas Story Brick Bible from our former church as little kids. I decided to pull it out and flip through it again after listening to this. I didn't find anything untoward, only that the angle that came to Mary does look kind of razz matazz with his glittery wings and hyper smile. Everything just kind of looked silly and Lego like. This book was from 2014 or 2015. I'd definitely would be wary about anything like this now and in the future.
It breaks my heart just how confused, mislead, numb, and blinded we’ve become, that we’re at a place where people think and say these things, AND THEN think that they’re somehow right and smarter. So sad. I’m thankful that the Holy Spirit can take hearts of stone and replace them with hearts of flesh. ❤️
Does the Brick Bible change the Bible's content? Is the killing of children more acceptable if you can't see the blood? By the way, there's a version for young kids, the one you're discussing is not meant for them.
LMAO, LOL even. This has not only been around for more than a DECADE and you're just now finding out about it, but it's also amazingly accurate, incredibly well-done, and hilarious. I'm sorry adult Christians are triggered by the actual content of their Sacred Holy Text Of Which Every Syllable Is Absolute Truth. Some free advice: do some self-reflection, Christians. Try it. Don't be scared.
I hope the first class flyer meets someone there who will hold her hand while dying, or will look at her with love, respect and adoration as they hand her something made by hand that is the token of a full heart.
I remember before I had my children I thought my love for my children would be the same as my love for my 2 dogs.... Not even remotely close! Children unlock a depth of love I never knew existed. They totally changed my perspective of life and pushed me from a luke warm Christian to seeking God and the understanding of the gospel.... Children are such a gift from God!
I was an older momma having my oldest at 36. After I had him, I was on a serious high! I was always happy. Love being a mom & had I known how great the love was, I would had children a lot sooner and most likely would had at least 4. I enjoy my time with my 2 boys!
As a woman who does not wish to have children, it is primarily because I understand the difficulty and challenges of raising a human and simply don't want to. For the same reason I do not want a pet either-pets are also not inherently valuable as children are. I've never understood why people humanize animals, especially childfree people. Pets are like helpless children that never grow up.
"Human beings, we were not made to run on convenience... we were made to run on sacrifice." The 46min mark - the end of the video really captured my attention and heart. When I heard the quoted message^ I felt my ears open, as this was not something I had ever so clearly heard before. Like, it is something we should all know... but the way you worded and declared it was something my spirit needed to hear. In fact, I think it's a message young women esp sorely lack and need to hear; nowadays it's far more commonplace to hear of sacrifice in a more masculine context. I so wish this specific truth of our very design was preached more often. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us, Allie. Even for those who know they want children, the idea of "missing out on yourself" paired with necessarily endless, motherly sacrifice can really scare you if you become pregnant. You will surely save lives with this video. Praise God
True, friend. I never heard a clearer definition of love than this-- Love sacrifices for the good of another. That's what the Father did by sacrificing His Beloved Son for the world. That's what Jesus did on that horrible cross. That's what a good, loving, responsible dad and mom do for their spouse and children. Also grandparents. Teachers, police, firemen, etc. Makes sense..
You hate your own book. The Brick Bibke is a book of bible stories. Perhaps you read from pleasant bibles, heavily redacted? I don't understand. Would you have Jael give the Canaanite a stern talking to or maybe G-d sent a gentle rain to make it so all of the people couldn't get up and do stuff anymore? Or the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil caused people to lay down sometimes and never get up until they stink and turn into fairy dust? Have you ever read the Torah? It's a dark book. Before I go, I got another one, G-d smelled baking bread, not burnt offerings, and made his tummy full. This is the final one, Cain took his axe and gave Able a widdle headache.
Thank you, Allie, for exposing the deeds of darkness. Praying for these false teachers to be humbled and to repent. Neopaganism is sweeping across this nation and we need to oppose it and stand firm. He is coming soon.
Thank you for addressing the pet issue. Yes people think they’re as equal as humans. We’ve had so much trouble with people thinking and elevating dogs to human status that they think they should live inside 100% of the time. we live in a very mild climate and have nice shelter for our working farm dogs, but they’re not allowed inside and people go crazy.
@Yesica1993 I seriously doubt all people do. Some people would never suspect a children's Bible would be so malicious. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in today.
@@emlyle1228 I wouldn't have immediately suspected this level of evil either. But still, even when I have given books to small children as gifts in years past, I would, at the very least, flip through them to see what they were about and to check anything that was "off". These days I would do so much in depth research! It's mind boggling that parents just hand kids stuff. Again, that should be the real story here.
@@Yesica1993 The "evil" you suggest is in the Brick Bible comes DIRECTLY from the actual Bible. Thank you for admitting that the War-god of Abraham is Evil, we agree!
@@JayBandersnatch You've never read the full Bible. You neither know, much less care, what it teaches about anything. Understand that you WILL one day stand before this Christ you now mock and blaspheme. You WILL give account for your filth spewed here. Best of all, you WILL bow before Him in worship - whether in joy for salvation if you choose to repent, or in terror, as He casts you into everlasting Hell. Know that. Repent while He still grants you breath to do so. Either way, you WILL bow. How I long to see that day!
I love what you said about pets vs kids. These individuals who think of their pets as children are responsible for driving pet care for all of us to the extreme! My cat has thyroid issues. She has not reacted well to the medication, so they want her to have a treatment that cost $1500! As well as needing 4 teeth pulled for $2500! Its outrageous! I told them my cat is NOT my child. She is my pet. If she was my child, I'd do everything for my child, but she is my pet, who I love dearly (I've had her 14 years), but she is only a cat, not a human child.
What is driving the cost of vet care up is that large corporations are buying up vet practices all over the county and raises prices to make more profit.
You are so right Allie. Before I had kids I would think dogs lives were as important as children’s and now as a 32 yo old woman I cringe at the fact I use to think that way because there is no way I believe that now that I have my kids
Completely agree! I loved my dog, but when I had my baby she ended up developing severe allergies that were aggravated by my dog. I ended up needing to rehome my dog. I knew I wanted to find him a new loving home and not just drop him off at a shelter. I posted I was looking to rehome my dog and I got sooo much hate from people saying how dare I do that, that my dog has feelings too, and just so many judgmental comments for putting my child’s needs before my dogs.
I love you Allie!!! I love your honesty, humor and delivery!!! Thank you for mentioning that just anyone can buy a Service Dog vest. But a “real” service dog must be able to perform three or more tasks to be considered a service animal. And I so agree with everyone’s obsession with their pets especially dogs.
I’m not a parent but we have some fault in this as christians because it’s a lack of being vigilant and prayerful in the things we consume, buy, etc and bringing these types of things into our homes
If you worked at an elementary school with kindergartners or 1st graders you’d see how dirty they actually are 😭😭 BUT that’s the fault of the parents ! AND that still doesn’t mean dogs are better than humans, that just means we need more compassion for those kids!
It's not really "the fault of the parents". Kids get dirty... part of being a kid. I worked with kids ages 3 to 17 for 11 years and am a mom. They learn as they grow to take care of themselves and clean themselves up. But yes, kids get dirty. A lot of learning comes from getting dirty at play.
Thank you for the discussion on animals. It is completely out of control. I don’t want to eat around dogs, stay after a dog, or deal with dogs in grocery stores. It is unhealthy.
Oh my gosh!!! You are right on about the animals. It’s sick and disgusting when people treat them like humans including taking them into the grocery store. Just no. They are animals! And I love animals, I just recognize, they are animals.
It's literally just the bible but with pictures. It's almost like this is a horrible book about a terrible character called god. It's not like there are lies in it. Also your whole side is weird lol.
I didn't see anyone else stating the obvious...WHY didn't someone on the VBS leadership team read this book (the Brick Bible) before offering it as a prize to one of the children? I have a difficult time understanding this. Our pastor and discipleship team goes over every curriculum, book, pamphlet, and handout that is displayed/given in our church. I go to a small church, but our VBS is the largest outreach we have every year. To me this book being given out at VBS was a major failure of leadership.
Most church leaders actually don't pay attention. They just go by what's going to attract people to church, and that's why there's such a huge heresy problem as well as the responding wave of "deconstructionists" in the American church. Most pastors think their only job is to teach.
That was my first thought. How irresponsible of the church leadership to allow this to happen.
I always pre read books before my kids read
I thought the same thing actually. My church pours over the material before teaching or reading it to the kids.
Well, I have the brick Bible and my kids love it because I actually Read the Bible to them daily so the brick Bible isn't shocking. People need to read it before believing others.
I didn’t have a story book bible as a kid, and I was taught everything about bible stories including the blood, I never felt disturbed, just took it as it was.
Congratulations.
As a mom of a 12 and 10 year old, let me just say how FAST it goes and how MUCH “time to yourself” you’ll find you have in almost no time at all. For years now I e been able to sleep in, my kids can feed themselves, and I can go take a nap, run errands easily, etc. We as parents will have so much more time to ourselves than we ever will have “tied up” in sacrificing for our kids. Even if you have a bunch of kiddos, the same as I already said. IT IS WORTH IT AND IF YOU ARE ABLE, HAVE CHILDREN. And do it in your twenties lest it become more difficult to conceive. You will wish for the messy house when all of a sudden it’s clean, quiet, and your kids are gone. I dread the day 😢
It’s a very lonely time! My kids have been grown for a while, and I still cry about it!😢
How long for the days of a messy house and screaming and laughing kids! Those were the best times of my life!
May God bless you all in the almighty name of Yeshua ha'Moshiach, amen! ❤ call on the name of Yeshua ha'Moshiach, and He will answer. He DIED for YOU so that YOU may have ETERNAL LIFE with HIM. Turn from your sin and trust and follow Him with all your heart and soul. He took the penalty for sin of the world upon Himself so that WE may have everlasting life with God almighty. To be separated from God is death. Death is the penalty for sin. Please take this free gift of eternal life that God has offered us in the almighty name of his son, Yeshua/Jesus. He loves us more than we can fathom. We are HIS children created in HIS image. I am spreading the love of Yeshua by loving YOU! Yeshua will give you a reason. Yeshua will give you hope. Yeshua will give you love unconditional. Yeshua will give you freedom. Yeshua will change you from the inside out and make you new, with new desires of your heart. I am telling you this because I love you and don't want you to suffer now or in eternity. Love you all forever ❤
And now you know the gospel. ❤
And now you know the truth and the truth will set you free ❤
A few years of sacrifice, diligence and hard work to teach ur children yo be Godly and caring and hardworking
You will learn to deal with it! we did, so can you, because with patients the grandkids will eventually be messing it up again and you'll love it.

"And, as it turns out thousands of unsuspecting parents and children have been duped by what looks like an innocuous story book Bible."
This is mind boggling. How did thousands of people get duped by it? Don't parents do research and READ what they give to their children and what they pass out in churches?!
Actually very few I’ve noticed in my experience as a parent.
Ironically, this book is an accurate depiction of many Bible stories. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO VIOLENT!!!
Then again, how many Christians actually read the Bible? Most people I know who have actually read the Bible become atheists
Don't they read the actual Bible. The graphics are explicit but the story is the same.
@@Xaforn That's amazing to me. Even when I've bought things for other people's children, I do my research and look through it. I'd do even harder research these days!
I was wondering the same thing. Like don’t parents read the books or look at the pictures before handing it to their children?
I'm a childless woman who really wants kids but hasn't yet been blessed with the opportunity, and the treating-pets-as-kids thing is a HUGE pet peeve of mine (no pun intended). I adore my cat and absolutely strive to give her the best care I can, but she is not my "daughter" and I am not her "mother". I didn't adopt her as a stand-in for a child, but rather because I just happen to like cats and would want one regardless of whether or not I had kids. I understand why some people in my position would find the idea of being their pet's "parent" comforting, but to me it just feels like such a massive cope and it drives me crazy that it's seen as almost the default way to be a pet owner (every time I take my cat to the vet the people working there refer to me as her "mama"). Very frustrating! Pets are awesome and imo absolutely count as "members of the family", but having a pet is not the same as raising an actual human child, and conflating the two has always sat poorly with me.
Well said! I hope God grants you the blessing of children some day.
As a mom to 5 actual children it frustrates and offends me simply because to downgrades and almost dismisses everything I do as a mom to actual children. A dog or cat is in nowhere near the same as a child and the care they need is quite different outside of the basics of food shelter and medical care as needed. But day to day living, raising pets is far different than raising children.
I am sorry you couldn't have children my son is my greatest blessing but sorry I c
Call my dog's & cats my babies my son says "come on siblings".
I have seen fake Christians manage VBS and promote non-Christian themes. These same people used church events to decorate with Satanic symbolism. Yet, the pastors could not see it, and if you mentioned it you would be labeled as imagining things. As to promoting animals, it goes back to Genesis when God created THREE groups of beings on the SIXTH day: humans-Adam and Eve / slithering things - snakes, lizards, crocs, etc. / livestock-cattle- bulls, cows, goats, pigs, sheep, dogs, cats, etc. These three groups of beings created on the SIXTH day rebelled against God and hence 666. From this point on, Satan ruled the world and satanic/pagan kingdoms worshipped hybrid human-animal gods. In these androgynous kingdoms same sex intercourse was common and also sex with animals as the book of Leviticus mentions. Satan is trans > like the god Baphomet, part male, part female and part animal.
Totally agree on the animals shouldn’t be allowed everywhere.
Lots feel that way about kids. Keep your bad kids home..lol
@@EmilySmith-vx3ghPEOPLE ARE HUMAN, I GUESS YOU ARE ONE OF THE "SAVE THE WHALES AND KILL THE BABIES " PEOPLE ❤
Agreed. Unless they are actual service dogs. Then I'm 1000% for it. I love cats, I'm ok with dogs, and I believe that animals really don't need to be everywhere and propped up as replacement children. They are beloved pets, they hold value, but they aren't children. They're animals. That's it.
Fur Family Members are to be treated Equal Value to the human family members.
So many allergic to animals can't shop now bc animals are now allowed in stores.
So true about our current animal culture: heavily promoted by those that stand to make lots of $$ by humanities animals. There is financial gain in convincing people that their pet is equal to family. Each time I bump into this aniology I wonder why many who r so devoted to painless, right to life for animals , think nothing of & support tearing babies apart at any time during their 1st nine months of life. It is a total disconnect. BTW I love animals, I have a tender heart for them & have a certified support dog. I also love people.❤

Re: Flying First Class vs having children. Back in 1992, when my younger daughter was 6 weeks old, we flew from Illinois to Texas. When my husband went up to the gate to check us in & he was holding our daughter. The lady at the gate offered to bump us up to 1st class. My husband if course said yes. We never would have gotten 1st class if we had not had our daughter.

Christ means anointed one in Hebrew it would be HaMachiach. Christ is not a last name, it is a title. We are so used to saying things from the Latin that we forget his real name would be Yoshua better translated as Joshua. This also has a meeting, the meaning is promised savior. Jesus the Christ is the promised savior, Holy anointed one. he is the Isaiah 53 savior of the world, whom “by his stripes we are healed.” The Word made physical didn’t come for some, he didn’t come to condemn, “ For God, so love the world that he gave us one and only son, that whoever believes, shall not perish, but have eternal life for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him, Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” Form the book of John. Make sure you truly know what you’re rejecting and the consequences of rejecting God who loves you so much that he sacrificed for you even if you don’t accept the sacrifice and choose eternal separation from God and all is good instead of the free gift he has for you if you humble to his love and the forgiveness we all need as sinners who don’t deserve what Jesus’ blood bought for us, to be saved.

@@janvan4424everything is predestined by each soul that chooses to Incarnate in each lifetime in whatever particular body they choose.

Some Brussels incarnate in bodies that are only meant to be here for a short time because it teaches lessons to others, and that was a soul contract that they agreed on, karmic soulmates teach us our hardest lessons, perhaps twin flames come along as well.

@@janvan4424I disagree. Just because we may go through hard times doesn’t mean that He isn’t protecting us- or did I misunderstand what you were saying?
Yes, but God wants us to pray to Him for protection and guidance. We have to pray incessantly for the evil that’s around us. There’s a fierce battle going on between the good and the evil and we ought to take part in it. It’s time for diligent prayer.
Thank you for your comments about the animals. I am so sick of people taking their PETS everywhere! I have allergies to animals, and apparently the animals are more important than me according to these people.
Any woman that honestly thinks that flying first class is worth not having kids, should never have kids. They are too selfish to be a good mother. I hope they truly enjoy their flights.

😂 I grew up in the 70 -80s I was given picture bibles. Trust me, they were graphic. Allie almost says the quiet part outloud. Why do you have to cut sections out or sugar coat the Bible for children? How do think they would actually feel later on when they do read the whole thing. Or is it your hope they do not.
It bothers me to hear people say they value animals more than people. A person that Jesus died for is more valuable than an animal, and saying that you value animals more than them is saying that you reject God'ss priorities.
We were given the role as caretakers of the land. Authority over all. Without us, what happens to the animals? Without the animals, what happens to us? The creation has a natural balance that they are breaking.
Yes! Even obnoxious children are more valuable to God! They are image bearers, animals aren't. I don't let my grandchildren tease or hurt my dog, I teach them to respect him, however if there were a fire I would save them first! Does that make me an animal hater? How many ppl who love dogs/cats, etc. more actually eat meat?
I feel so guilty that it hurts me to see an animal in pain sometimes more than a human. I’m working on it and I appreciate your comment. You’re so right that makes it a bit more easy for me to view. God bless you.
We discovered this Bible at the library about 10 years ago and I was disgusted and asked the librarian to pull it from the children’s section. I can’t believe it’s still around! I’ve been sharing with parents for a decade how awful this Bible is and you can’t believe the pushback that I’ve received! Thank you for bringing this to the attention of parents!
Cognitive dissonance... It's hard for people to truly wrap their heads around the fact that some people are seemingly "out to get" us and our children. They don't want to know because then they will have to reconsider many things and maybe make serious changes which most people seldom seek after.
Get out of the other people's libraries. Children can be exposed to ideas you don't like. In this case, they're literally just being exposed to the text of your Bible. Pretty stupid stuff in there, huh? Well, that's your problem, not the world's.
Because it's an accurate depiction of the Bible.
But would you tell your child they are going to hell unless they follow god's word? Either the comic is bad because the source it came from is bad or both can be shown to children without censorship.
@@Insane3OBYes? Any good Christian parent would want their Kids to be saved and go to Heaven
I love animals too, but growing up I lived in a low income household, and we constantly had 5 to 6 dogs and several cats. I enjoyed having a house full of animals growing up but looking back now I don’t understand why my dad prioritized the dogs over the five children had, specially when I turned 18 I moved out and the first time I went back to visit one of the dogs bit the tip of my finger off I’m not saying that he had to put the dog down, but I don’t understand why keeping a dangerous dog was more important than his own daughters safety …
I’m sorry to hear that. My dad and his parents have prioritized their pets as well, and it sucks. I love animals too, but it can be nice with the peace and quiet.
My heart goes out to you, hun. My sister's dog bit a neighbor's finger completely off and swallowed it. Scary. But my sister said she had warned her neighbor not to go in the back yard and not to try to pet her dog either. She didn't listen and suffered for it.
We had a dog and cat when I was growing up. I loathe dogs because of that dog. It was a poodle but wasn't taken care of it pooped everywhere and was always pregnant. There was always dog turds in my childhood playroom and even til this day I cringe if I see dog poop I gag at the smell of it and I can't stand dogs. The cat was cool though she was litter trained and smarter than the dog.
I’m so glad you talked about the animal situation. This really needs to be talked about. And most people don’t. It’s a real problem.
Sure is! Idk how we have gotten here.
Just yesterday my best friend said something like “well, they (dogs) are her children” when talking about my cousins and how one is finally making my aunt a grandma (to a human). They were both dog moms before. I didn’t want to get in a discussion about it, but was taken aback.
In what way is it a real problem? How are you hurt by it in any way? How about minding your own business.
@@mdenichols1182 Because dogs are vile and filthy nasty they sniff other dogs butts they eat their own and other animals vomit they get fleas ticks and worms and they stink.
@@mdenichols1182telling me to mind my own business while not minding your own is a real classy touch. 🤌🏼
I am a barren woman who loves children, have worked with children and still do. I also have dogs. I don't believe I worship them. I see myself as their dog mom because I do for them as I would a toddler. But mostly I see myself as a steward. But to say that the worship (or what you call worship) of an animal is a sacrifice of children is not something I agree with wholeheartedly. Why? Because I have tried adopting and you get charged highly to adopt a child. Whatever happened to opening your heart and home to a child. When did it become a purchase? Dogs are cheaper to adopt. I see many women who are awesome mom's and I thank God for them every time I think about it. Yet I also see many who abuse theirs and feel angered that they could accomplish what I couldn't and they throw it away. So yes I love my pets. They bring me joy. But I, in no way sacrifice children for it. It just never works out for me.
I pray that all who long to find the one Jesus created for them will be ready when it happens. May your walk with Jesus lead you to your future family. Have a spectacular day sister in Christ. May Jesus bless your family and friends and pets.

As a mom of a toddler with a severe dog allergy, I get so mad when I see people letting dogs ride in shopping carts at stores!
I am a childless dog lover and I totally agree with you. However, I always close and never put groceries or my handbag in that cart seat because of all the diapered bottoms which have occupied that seat before I came along. My boyfriend calls it the 'fecal seat'. So I guess it goes both ways.😊
As a mom of a range of kid ages with no allergies to speak of, I get so mad when I see people letting dogs ride in shopping carts at stores. Nasty.
@@L.Fontein7 Kids certainly can be super gross, but a diapered bottom is very different than bare animal bung hole. But, yeah, generally I bet we’d be appalled at how absolutely nasty those carts are. 😂
There's been research on how filthy grocery cart handles are. A lot or most people don't even wash their hands after going to the bathroom then unknowingly share their fecal bacteria when grabbing the handle of the cart. UGH! Just remember to wash your hands when your done grocery shopping.

About 10 years ago I bought it at the Christian school book fair.

My son read it and came to me and said: something it’s wrong with this Bible, take it back! And i searched about the author and sure enough, he is an atheist.

Some people can't have kids in the first place.
I can understand why this is alarming, however, are we going to pretend that these explicit things don't happen throughout the Bible? And with the peace table you showed, I do not agree that the examples given to make peace are evil. Aren't we supposed to care for God's creation? Recycling instead of throwing things away, biking instead of riding in a car shows respect for what God created. We use and abuse so much in this world. I would be much happier to see a child learning how to be responsible and respectful in this way than to let them take advantage of anything they want to just because God gave us dominion.
shhh, you're going to scare away the pretend christians.

Thank you for speaking kindly to the women who want to have kids but haven't been able to.
I just read the brick bible. It does a good job representing the bible and telling the stories. All your comments just tell me that you really haven't read the bible. There is absolutely nothing in there that isn't in the bible itself. The bible isn't a children's book, and the lego bible isn't either. There is a lot of sex, violence, rape, slavery, incest, genocide, infancide, mutilation, etc in the bible.
maybe get the kids version of the lego bible, or maybe expose your kid to the whole bible from the start. Or is the uncensored bible too much to for children and maybe should also be removed from school libraries?
Tell me you've never actually read the Bible without telling me you've never actually read the Bible.
The author is LGBT and he is framing uncomfortable stories to kids that don't need those stories framed as making God look cruel and having no love.
@@compendiousone8247 There's no "framing", you fool. This is who your sick god is. Embrace it.
@@compendiousone8247The version that was given to the kid was the ADULT version. The church camp messed up by not reading what they give to the kids, before giving it to the kids. 🤦🏻♀️
If the camp would’ve done their job properly, they would’ve realized that there is a KIDS version available as well.
Don’t blame the author for the church camps mess up, just because she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Oh, and if you are a Christian, you should behave like one and not misgender the author, just because you don’t agree with how she lives her life. I would suggest you read Leviticus 19:18.

When I was single someone told me that you could see what kind of parent someone would be by how they treat their pets

Also its how you know if someone is abusive because animals are in a sense defenseless...and if you can.abuse an animal.easily then you will abuse a human just as easily and freely
100% agree with Allie about treating animals!
This is such a good example of how Christians lack discernment. We should be investigating all the Children's storybook Bibles. Obviously a quick search of the author should have alerted any buyers...and then a quick look instead should have sealed the deal.
So, hey, here's a fun question: If the Bible is the word of God and the Brick Bible is literally nothing more than a picturebook version of the Bible (since all of the text in the book is lifted verbatim in the Bible), for what reason is "exposing children to the unabridged and uncensored version of the Bible" morally repugnant instead of morally righteous?
@@StoneStephenTThey're not gonna answer.
@@StoneStephenT Because most pearl clutching christians dont read their bibles and are shocked when they learn whats actually in there. they get surprised when the bible gets banned from school libraires based on their own decency laws.
You are a welcome Blessing to this Platform . Thank you for your work which is so needed, particularly for young adults and children.
How could this happen? Could it be the people who are giving this book to kids didn't even bother to READ it because they really don't care enough
they dont read their bibles, why would they bother reading the abridged version.
The irony of Stuckey’s comments is that The Brick Bible doesn’t take liberties with the text. It depicts the stories as they’re laid out in the book, which means, yes, there’s a lot of disturbing crap everywhere.
If that shocks and disturbs you, then your problem lies with the Bible, not with the artist recreating the scenes.
Copypasta, but accurate.
Guys. The Bible is full of history and absolutely imperfect people. It is not "child-friendly." God is love, but not without judgement and anger. As our kids age, we have to teach them what the Bible actually says. I've seen COUNTLESS story bibles sold at mainstream places that depict the same bloody scenes, but in a less child-friendly way than legoes - like a comic book Bible for kids ages 8+ that actually has toddlers with h.e.a.d.s. off being held by crying parents. That's graphic and unnecessary. The Lego Bible mostly follows what the Bible says, and we have to teach our kids. Too many adult Christians don't ever get past the basic stories. Reality is harsh, and reading the Bible in a realistic way with our children is a phenomenal way to address what the Bible says, other verses that show God's thoughts on a topic, and apply that to our real life too. There has to be some upgrade from the feel-good, skim-over-the-ugly-parts of Biblical history and real life too.
LOL!!! That "child free" clip legit looked like satire to me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can not believe how cringy that was 😳
That's discouraging. My daughter is raising her almost 5 year old daughter, as we are Brainstorming what to do regarding her education, we keep running into shut doors. I'm just going to say it, We are poor. She us a 6 year recovered addict, young Christian mom who has such a passion to do everything right, at least all that us within her ability. I raised my children as a single mother, the struggles were very real but in the 40 years ago, everything was just much easier. I honescholled my children the first few grades, but had to work to survive. All the idealologies she us facing blows us each away. My granddaughter is very fast, very smart and starting to play a lot if games I hate I. My daughter does watch her time on her tablets, yes plural. I spent a great deal of time preparing her for school so she reads, better than any child I've seen at age 4. She thrives on the stimulation, she has imagination but no friends. We have ,NO good church near us. We have no car, or we'd drive out of our way to church. When my babies were little, I bundled them up and drove 54 mins each morning and evening to a wonderful church.
My daughter had an accident with a semi, thankfully she's ok but my car is gone. That is my own fault. I stayed home to watch my very tiny baby granddaughter when it was cold and pouring rain. I ran outside to heat up the car for her, I know God told me, you need to drive. It was VERY plain. I did not listen. I said many times, watch out for the semi's.
Let me cut to the chase, I am disabled at 58, I was hit by a drunk driver. Texas HWYS. I'm in City by the sea, not far from Corpus. Their hwys are very dangerous. We would move in a heartbeat, we have no one but each other. I would LoVe to pay for Sherwood. Every single thing is just SO costly.
My granddaughter has been playing Legos on her tablet. I haven't seen it myself bc my space/your space is something of a grace my daughter needing to learn and she is. She's in full time college, online for nurse management. She's has a 4.0 so far, and thus is hard content. God has blessed her so much, and my goodness, does she ever have a story to share. She was sex trafficked out by a leader of an Aryan gang. Long and longer story, 3 three tones, she lives, and is pushing through by God's Grace! We just really, really need to head north. We can't stand living in the south. We are anitially from Michigan. Getting OUT in the summertime is HUGE to our health but here, it's not possible.
What a testimony you and your daughter have! It seems to me, with your daughters online school and grades, it will just be a little longer, then she will have a reasonable income for the 3 of you. Hold on sister!
Since you are disabled (at home?) I would recommend you homeschool while your daughter studies and works. My 22yo daughter just finished college and since middle school, it has been a long journey through confusion and back. And spiritual battle in prayer against the adversary trying to claim her the whole way. If I knew then what I know now, I would do everything in my power to homeschool to keep her from being exposed to the things she was exposed to in public school. Schools are so very different now. Even in the 4 years between my older boys and my daughter, public school changed radically. Girls are also affected much more easily by social pressures and norms.
Also, pick an online church to attend weekly and make it a priority. It’s not as satisfying as attending a real church, but your granddaughter is watching what you do and prioritize, even at her young impressionable age.
Keep praying Grandma! The blessings and protection of a praying parent and grandparent cannot be overstated! This is the most important thing you can do!
Find a local homeschool association. They will guide your daughter well.
My grandchildren are with a homeschool co op where the moms share their gifts and talents and support each other.
The homeschool curriculum (The Good and the Beautiful ) is very low cost and some of it is free. Hope this might help. Praying for ya'll too.
Good resources for anyone starting out homeschooling with a kindergartner and little to no budget:
The Kindergarten Read-Aloud Revival.
Under The Home.
MEP Math.
Ambleside Online.
Easy Peasy.
Praying for you and your family.
Hi Allie, could you point out some particular sections of this Bible that are "not theologically accurate"? I have a copy and to me it's just an illustrated Bible?
She can't, because it is accurate. She is just upset because of who the author is. The book is 100%, she is just confused because she has never read the actual bible.
That, and a child understood something that the parent wasn't ready to explain just yet. So, read with your children. help them, guide them, and explain to them anything that is un clear. Or don't use the Bible as a babysitter, be active, and be present in a chids life. You could randomly flip to any passage and miss understand it's meaning without context and guidance.
16 mins in, and she starts talking about the actual point of focus. So, this is a fluff piece. I don't think she has done her research on the material she's covering. So, she is a journalist. Lol
There are a lot of places where it is theologically wrong...I browsed it in a store and already found a bunch of stuff before I even saw this episode.
The Brick Bible was written by an atheist that hated God and his intent was to mock God. He talks all about it in an interview that came out when it was first published. I'm not sure if I could still find it. I can try. He thought it was hilarious that Christian parents were buying it for their children. For example, it shows lot having sex with his daughters. He tried to make the killing scenes graphic and he wanted to show God as an enjoying punishing people (as a monster).
@@billm9775 See my comment above. Also, I can't post a link here, but if you google "brendan powell smith interview about brick bible" and click the first Wordpress link you can read what he thinks about God.
So your criticizing someone who portrayed the bible in the most accurate way and which it states on the cover for 16 and over for turning children away from the Bible?
1.Don't like the Message don't shoot the Messenger and dont show it to children
Idk...I've seen plenty of kids touch their face, nose, dirty floors, you name it then touch food, communal surfaces...etc. Sorry, but that spreads germs and many of them are more communicable to other people than what fluffy the dog is spreading. I remember being on a bus and watching a kid lick the arm rest or put their drooling faces on railings....like I'm sorry but that's more gross than a dog sitting on a floor. I'm not touching a floor, but I might need to hold onto that railing....the problem is that many kids have no manners in this day and age. I do think people over all are important, however I also think God calls people to different things in life and if caring for animals is your calling over having kids then there's nothing wrong with that. He created animals and we have the responsibility of taking care of them. Also, maybe that same "child-free" person has a gift with taking care of the elderly instead of children. I don't think God values one set of gifts over the other.
Dogs eat feces too, their mouths are disgusting. I do t want dogs on busses or in restaurants or grocery stores.
“Christian is SHOCKED when they actually find out what’s in the book they try to force on everyone” is a better title

Thank you so so much for talking about this animal issue!! And I also would ask animal owners just to consider a thought that people are different. Not every girl wants to come to a park and be barked on and get dirty by your lovely dog’s paws. Like literally every dog just goes straight to my girl and wants to play with its paws on my girl’s pretty dress. So much of tears, so much of stress…
If you have time to type this melodrama, then you have time to ask animal owners to keep their pets away from your child. Quit being a whiner.
George Washington was definitely correct:
" It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."
[US founder, George Washington]
George Washington NEVER HAD A CHILD!
Washington didn't say this. Ever.
There is absolutely no evidence George Washington said that. If you wish to argue your point, fine, simply provide the document source where your quote comes from. My guess though is you'll continue "lying for Jesus" as long as it fits your narrative.
Trolls do not have to like that America is founded on The Gospel and that George Washington said this quote.
@@LifeLifemoreAbundantly I'm not a troll, and honestly wouldn't care if Washington actually said it, I'm simply suggesting that there's no evidence he did say it. Instead of complaining that I'm a troll, simply provide the reputable source and then I'll apologize and admit I was wrong.
It's pretty sad that so many conservatives are so ignorant that they label anything race related as critical race theory. How about taking the time to learn about what critical race theory is instead of listening to conservative talking heads who are ignorant on the subject or deliberately lying to you.
That's the thing. They are not interested in learning beyond what they have been told. This rant about the Brick Bible shows you that.
The pet conversation is SO funny to me 😂 since becoming pregnant Ive become so aware of how gross my dog is. I love him but he used to always lick my face (I KNOW. He eats raw chicken and poop outside) and he sits on my knee with his poopy butt and rolls around in who knows what outside and then sleeps on our bed and couch 😂
Hey, I’m pregnant, too! Congratulations! I’m in the same boat with my dog. At least we can teach our kids how to properly clean up after themselves haha

The sling shot did not kill Goliath. It knocked him down. David killed Goliath with his sword by cutting his head off.
The text seems to allow such an interpretation. However it is also important to explain to children that the slingshot was not an elastic toy. It was a strap with a cradle for an egg or fist sized stone which a soldier swung around his head at high speed and released. The account says it stove in Galioth's forehead. The amazing part was not the lethality of the weapon but that David wielded it successfully against an experienced opponent who was wearing armor.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

I graduated from a Jesuit University with a minor in Old Testament studies. I read the original Brick Bible, but hadn’t heard of the “Brick Bible for Kids,” so I ordered a copy and read it. I read the original version when it was first published and literally found not a single departure, nothing in the slightest, from the Bible and really enjoyed the Lego theme and thought at the time how creative the author was in doing that. Now, after reading the kids version, I can find no inaccuracies or misrepresentations at all in it either. I do however question your own misguided, purposeful or otherwise, confusion of the differences between the original book, and the sanitized kids version in your podcast. If we can’t be honest with ourselves within the community, how can we expect those outside of it to take us seriously?
We have the original one. I'm gonna give it a read. I appreciate that you took the time to read the whole thing before commenting. We cannot base our opinions just on opinions. Thank you for your comment.
Not sure why you would even want to read a “Bible” illustrated by an atheist transgender person. That isn’t Christian at all.
I don’t know anything about words in it but to have anything to do with supporting someone against the Bible as they exhibit in their daily life is just mind boggling
It’s been years since I looked into the Brick Bible. I remember that I first knew something was off when the author highlighted all the death in the Noah story. I looked into him. I remember there was a allusion to a woman being “attacked” too. Turns out the author is an unbeliever and the project was done to dupe Christians and to mock God and the Bible. It was produced in a mean spirited tone. It’s too bad because the Bible done right in Legos is an awesome concept.
💯 *THANK YOU* @mjeffn2
My main reaction listening to this episode: "Eughhh."
1 Corinthians 2:16:
"For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."
1 Corinthians 1:18:
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
I'm confused. What does 'Eughhh" mean, friend? How is it pronounced?
This Lego book is fantastic! True, it's not for little kids but it tells it exactly like it is in the traditional book form of the Bible, nothing is left out.
I'm 47 and childless and not married (not by choice). For some reason it is just not in God's plan for me and I have made peace with the fact that I won't be having children and maybe, also may never marry. My frustration with being a Christian doesn't come from not being blessed with this, but from how I am treated by the Christian community because I am childless and not married. I am made to feel like I have not been strong enough in my faith and overall an abysmal failure as a woman of God. It's disheartening to be made into an outcast, spoken about with derision by the right and in general have my faith called into question. Honestly without God, without my faith, I probably wouldn't be here, typing this comment. I know God has a plan for me and I refuse to be angry because my one dream of having children didn't happen. But I also think there needs to be a shift within Christianity to minister to women like me. I doubt I am the only one. We are loved by God just as much as anyone else.
It sounds like you could make a wonderful foster parent, friend.
God calls us each to a vocation. If God didn't call you to become a mother, He may be calling you to be something other than a wife and mother. You can still serve and love God. You can still help children and their families through ministry. Stay open to God's will. Don't let others opinions get in the way of God's plan for you.
God bless you.
@cherylsHTX wishing you well. Sorry your faith community isn't supportive and loving. May you find your community and be embraced as you are.
I was just talking about how weird it is that people call themselves dog or cat moms/dads
And call the animals their "children".
When I started following Jesus and got reborn I was delivered of my odd affection for animals over humans. Praise the Lord
It's definitely not of God. He said to have dominion not to treat animals like human babies.
I loath people calling their pets “ fur babies”
So please tell me exactly what the author got wrong? The book is a faithful depiction of the bible, so how can it be "demonic"?
Looks like a bunch of people here found out what the Bible is REALLY about. 😂
It’s the JOY that children put in our heart and the complete peace and fulfillment that we have as a family unit following God’s plan. ❤
You are right, there is NOTHING better than that!❤❤❤
I have considered myself an animal lover for years. From childhood pets to my and my husband's first puppy, I loved to spoil them.
Then I had my first child. The moment I stepped foot inside my house with my newborn baby in my arms and went through the process of acclimating to our new normal, it became immediately and abundantly clear that I did not and could not love the animals I had adored and cared for for years the way I loved the baby in my arms that I'd known for days. No shot. No comparison.
I felt guilty about it for years, but now that I have two kids, my feelings have only gotten stronger and I've come to accept the way it is. I absolutely love and care for my dogs to this day. But I could NEVER imagine putting and animal before a human being - ESPECIALLY a child.
The Assault on Christianity ? by Whom?
You would think by this point 4 years into this bull crap that parents would realize that you literally have to monitor absolutely everything. We cannot put our guards down. We are just at the beginning and this bull crap is very far from over.
Damn. Your sky daddy is weak.
4 years into crap? What crap? Oh no, the country is being led by a man that goes to church every week instead of one that has no church but his own country clubs? He has his followers wearing his mark on their foreheads and convinced christians that he has come to save them, i think i recall something about that in the bible.......
but hey, lets just pretend that this is all in the last 4 years and ignore all the years before where kids are being harmed.
So... the Brick Bible is a literal art interpretation of actual stories in your Bible, to say the Brick Bible is bull crap is to say the ACTUAL Bible is bull crap.

Totally agree about the animal/dog worship. It's crazy!
I seem to remember when this was first published as a website, and I don't remember it being for children. In fact, it had tab warning about the violence, nudity, etc., and although not explicitly stated, it was implied that the creator was an atheist. I'm not sure what happened in the intervening 24 years, but there's no way this is actually a kids book. I think Christians are missing the anti-Christian dog whistles present.
You are correct she did versions for adults but also did a version for kids without the violence nudity, etc. Of course that violence, nudity, etc is still in the original bible that Christians have supposedly read.
The Bible is not appropriate for children it turns out
Bigotry, ignorance, confusion and smug self-satisfaction in one person and one place. How do people not see straight through this young woman's nonsense? It is what a significant part of America has become. I despair, I really do.
Animals also die every day in shelters and on the side of the road. 2 things can be true at the same time. Babies in the womb and dogs all need love and protection.
There are tons of children in foster care who need homes. I wonder if given the choice, which G-d would think was more important for Christians to do. All animals do not need to be saved. I think its "ridiculous" the resources and funds that go into rehabbing and rehabbing so many when we can just put them down. People's priorities and selfish interests are messed up
As a chronically ill person I can still do a bare minimum for my dogs who need much less care than kids. I fear couldn't be there for children and it would be emotional neglect.
Not everyone is the same. I would absolutely adopt before trying to procreate though. Most families are not adopting like YHWH aka Jesus commands us to care for the orphans and widows.

Liking animals and worshipping them are two different things. You can love your animals with out worshipping them. I love our kitty cats. We take good care of them. We like spending time with them. They are great company. I grew up with lots of animals. My parents were farmers and not the abusive kind. We had animals for years. They were a blessing from God in their own way. When we felt sad or lonely, our animals gave us comfort. It's adorable. We don't worship animals but we do love them. There is nothing wrong with that. We should never ever pressure women to marry or have children. That's not our business. Let God be in control of that situation. You can live your own lives.
The women that don't want the Patriarchy or children should try and take their message to the Muslim community!
What do call a person who believes in the Bible: a Christian. What do you call a person who knows the Bible: an atheist. All of the stories in the brick Bible are In the KJV Bible, sorry that the Bible wasn’t sanitized for your pleasure.
You look very sad sitting in that big empty living room talking to no one but yourself.
My kids actually received The Christmas Story Brick Bible from our former church as little kids. I decided to pull it out and flip through it again after listening to this. I didn't find anything untoward, only that the angle that came to Mary does look kind of razz matazz with his glittery wings and hyper smile. Everything just kind of looked silly and Lego like. This book was from 2014 or 2015. I'd definitely would be wary about anything like this now and in the future.
It's your Bible I'm so glad I'm an atheist turn
It breaks my heart just how confused, mislead, numb, and blinded we’ve become, that we’re at a place where people think and say these things, AND THEN think that they’re somehow right and smarter. So sad. I’m thankful that the Holy Spirit can take hearts of stone and replace them with hearts of flesh. ❤️
So what's theologically inaccurate about it?
You mean it doesn't comply with the fanfic Christians now think is 'canon'? have you even read the Bible?
Does anyone else see the irony of the vice president calling Vance weird? LOL
It's a campaign ploy they've dreamed up. Glenn Beck discusses it on his a.m. show. 😊
Absolutely and their couch accusations. As if the far left doesn’t glorify sexual deviance. 🤦🏽♀️😅
You mean, as in that good old '90s insult: "It takes one to know one"? 😂
@@evansjessicaeExactly. Or as Pee-wee Herman said in his classic film, "I know you are, but what am I?"
He fucks couches. He's weird.
Does the Brick Bible change the Bible's content? Is the killing of children more acceptable if you can't see the blood? By the way, there's a version for young kids, the one you're discussing is not meant for them.
LMAO, LOL even. This has not only been around for more than a DECADE and you're just now finding out about it, but it's also amazingly accurate, incredibly well-done, and hilarious. I'm sorry adult Christians are triggered by the actual content of their Sacred Holy Text Of Which Every Syllable Is Absolute Truth. Some free advice: do some self-reflection, Christians. Try it. Don't be scared.
Very well said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hope the first class flyer meets someone there who will hold her hand while dying, or will look at her with love, respect and adoration as they hand her something made by hand that is the token of a full heart.
I remember before I had my children I thought my love for my children would be the same as my love for my 2 dogs.... Not even remotely close! Children unlock a depth of love I never knew existed. They totally changed my perspective of life and pushed me from a luke warm Christian to seeking God and the understanding of the gospel.... Children are such a gift from God!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 praying that your idea reaches the goal you intend it for
I was an older momma having my oldest at 36. After I had him, I was on a serious high! I was always happy. Love being a mom & had I known how great the love was, I would had children a lot sooner and most likely would had at least 4. I enjoy my time with my 2 boys!
As a woman who does not wish to have children, it is primarily because I understand the difficulty and challenges of raising a human and simply don't want to. For the same reason I do not want a pet either-pets are also not inherently valuable as children are. I've never understood why people humanize animals, especially childfree people. Pets are like helpless children that never grow up.
It’s always important to have discernment and to make decisions with God He always knows and wants what is best for us 😊❤❤
Girl you talk so slow… I had to watch it on 2x speed. 🤦🏽♀️
"Human beings, we were not made to run on convenience... we were made to run on sacrifice." The 46min mark - the end of the video really captured my attention and heart.
When I heard the quoted message^ I felt my ears open, as this was not something I had ever so clearly heard before. Like, it is something we should all know... but the way you worded and declared it was something my spirit needed to hear. In fact, I think it's a message young women esp sorely lack and need to hear; nowadays it's far more commonplace to hear of sacrifice in a more masculine context. I so wish this specific truth of our very design was preached more often.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us, Allie. Even for those who know they want children, the idea of "missing out on yourself" paired with necessarily endless, motherly sacrifice can really scare you if you become pregnant. You will surely save lives with this video. Praise God
True, friend. I never heard a clearer definition of love than this-- Love sacrifices for the good of another.
That's what the Father did by sacrificing His Beloved Son for the world. That's what Jesus did on that horrible cross.
That's what a good, loving, responsible dad and mom do for their spouse and children. Also grandparents.
Teachers, police, firemen, etc.
Makes sense..
You hate your own book. The Brick Bibke is a book of bible stories. Perhaps you read from pleasant bibles, heavily redacted? I don't understand. Would you have Jael give the Canaanite a stern talking to or maybe G-d sent a gentle rain to make it so all of the people couldn't get up and do stuff anymore? Or the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil caused people to lay down sometimes and never get up until they stink and turn into fairy dust? Have you ever read the Torah? It's a dark book. Before I go, I got another one, G-d smelled baking bread, not burnt offerings, and made his tummy full. This is the final one, Cain took his axe and gave Able a widdle headache.
That is hilarious! These people can fly first class while they listen to my kids laugh and carry on behind them in Economy X.
Thank you, Allie, for exposing the deeds of darkness.
Praying for these false teachers to be humbled and to repent.
Neopaganism is sweeping across this nation and we need to oppose it and stand firm.
He is coming soon.
Amen!
Funny. Neopagans have never asked me if I heard about Thor. You guys won't shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Jeebus....
May your prayers reach Trump @gummylens5465
Thank you for addressing the pet issue. Yes people think they’re as equal as humans. We’ve had so much trouble with people thinking and elevating dogs to human status that they think they should live inside 100% of the time. we live in a very mild climate and have nice shelter for our working farm dogs, but they’re not allowed inside and people go crazy.
So you think people shouldn't be allowed to keep their animals in their own house? How is that any of your business?
Thank you for bringing this Brick "Bible" to parents attention.
She shouldn't have had to! Don't people READ the stuff they give to their children?!
@Yesica1993 I seriously doubt all people do. Some people would never suspect a children's Bible would be so malicious. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in today.
@@emlyle1228 I wouldn't have immediately suspected this level of evil either. But still, even when I have given books to small children as gifts in years past, I would, at the very least, flip through them to see what they were about and to check anything that was "off". These days I would do so much in depth research! It's mind boggling that parents just hand kids stuff.
Again, that should be the real story here.
@@Yesica1993 The "evil" you suggest is in the Brick Bible comes DIRECTLY from the actual Bible. Thank you for admitting that the War-god of Abraham is Evil, we agree!
@@JayBandersnatch You've never read the full Bible. You neither know, much less care, what it teaches about anything.
Understand that you WILL one day stand before this Christ you now mock and blaspheme. You WILL give account for your filth spewed here.
Best of all, you WILL bow before Him in worship - whether in joy for salvation if you choose to repent, or in terror, as He casts you into everlasting Hell.
Know that. Repent while He still grants you breath to do so. Either way, you WILL bow. How I long to see that day!
I was a carpet cleaner for 3 years. I cleaned 1000% more pet biological material than any human, let alone kids.
The Brick Bible is Awesome!!! Screw u Allie
😂😂😂😂
I love what you said about pets vs kids. These individuals who think of their pets as children are responsible for driving pet care for all of us to the extreme! My cat has thyroid issues. She has not reacted well to the medication, so they want her to have a treatment that cost $1500! As well as needing 4 teeth pulled for $2500! Its outrageous! I told them my cat is NOT my child. She is my pet. If she was my child, I'd do everything for my child, but she is my pet, who I love dearly (I've had her 14 years), but she is only a cat, not a human child.
What is driving the cost of vet care up is that large corporations are buying up vet practices all over the county and raises prices to make more profit.
You are so right Allie. Before I had kids I would think dogs lives were as important as children’s and now as a 32 yo old woman I cringe at the fact I use to think that way because there is no way I believe that now that I have my kids
Completely agree! I loved my dog, but when I had my baby she ended up developing severe allergies that were aggravated by my dog. I ended up needing to rehome my dog. I knew I wanted to find him a new loving home and not just drop him off at a shelter. I posted I was looking to rehome my dog and I got sooo much hate from people saying how dare I do that, that my dog has feelings too, and just so many judgmental comments for putting my child’s needs before my dogs.
I love you Allie!!! I love your honesty, humor and delivery!!!
Thank you for mentioning that just anyone can buy a Service Dog vest. But a “real” service dog must be able to perform three or more tasks to be considered a service animal.
And I so agree with everyone’s obsession with their pets especially dogs.
"🤣Animals put their booty hole on the floor"😂 I am dead.
I’m not a parent but we have some fault in this as christians because it’s a lack of being vigilant and prayerful in the things we consume, buy, etc and bringing these types of things into our homes
The brick bible is stories of the bible so if you call it demonic you are calling the bible itself demonic
If you worked at an elementary school with kindergartners or 1st graders you’d see how dirty they actually are 😭😭 BUT that’s the fault of the parents ! AND that still doesn’t mean dogs are better than humans, that just means we need more compassion for those kids!
It's not really "the fault of the parents". Kids get dirty... part of being a kid. I worked with kids ages 3 to 17 for 11 years and am a mom. They learn as they grow to take care of themselves and clean themselves up. But yes, kids get dirty. A lot of learning comes from getting dirty at play.
Thank you for the discussion on animals. It is completely out of control. I don’t want to eat around dogs, stay after a dog, or deal with dogs in grocery stores. It is unhealthy.
Oh my gosh!!! You are right on about the animals. It’s sick and disgusting when people treat them like humans including taking them into the grocery store. Just no. They are animals! And I love animals, I just recognize, they are animals.
It's literally just the bible but with pictures. It's almost like this is a horrible book about a terrible character called god. It's not like there are lies in it. Also your whole side is weird lol.
