- Dr. Ed Young with Houston's Second Baptist Church called the bond issue in Harris County a possible result of “left wing progressives in office," during a sermon.
THE PASTOR WAS JUST TELLING THE TRUTH BUT NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH !!!!!!
The media should go to the black churches. They thrive on political rants.
Channel 11 is pathetic.
All of the stations are.
Freedom of speech and he speaks the truth, l gave my youth to this mazing nation serving in the military to protect the constitution.
I agree
💯I honor you Timo for your service. Thank you! God bless you and your family.
Everybody knows he a racist what’s new
@@damonlester1582 And Democrats don't care about minorities only during election time.
We need all pastors to be preaching like this, get back to the good ole days of hellfire and repentance
We need more pastors like Ed Young! Never let me hem silence you!!!!! Ever.
You forgot slavery
Good ole days of dumbed down self righteous scare tactics!
You mean the good old days , of hanging black people ?
No he has political people behind him . Still the congregation already started to leave
Pastor Young is telling the truth !!
I applaud Dr. Young for not being afraid to speak the truth. He’s stating the obvious, which everyone in Houston can clearly see, whether they admit it or not.
No one likes truth. But he is spot on.
Yes we definitely more Pastors too speak the truth! about Gods word and not pander to the left because they may get offended. God is the only one we need to please.
My church!!! **Applause** amen!
The Democrat pastors don’t get criticized
Jeremiah Wright anyone?
I love my Pastor a man of great integrity
You Go Pastor Young. ….Keep telling the Truth !!!
The Truth?,You have been listening to the wrong pastor
@@terryloftus3207 let me guess.... Joe Biden is telling the truth.... REALLY !
@@stacyfuller5659You would rather believe a traitor who we know for a fact has told 30,000 lies,and had "top secret" documents in his home.Just saying,but pointless trying to convince you,so believe what you like,I dont care,just saying.
@@terryloftus3207 so this article is about Dr Ed Young. And he hasn't had 30 thousand documents and he hasn't told any lies. Joe Biden on the other hand every time he opens his mouth lies and how many documents have been stolen, bleach wiped, phones beat with hammers, covered up, lied..... so I AM DEFENDING DR YOUNG just to be clear.
@@stacyfuller5659 Stacey my late dad always said"Terry son.never argue with a fool,just be grateful you arnt"I have nothing more to say,enjoy your delusional world
A pastor calling out politicians who refuse to uphold the rule of civil law and allow crime to skyrocket is hardly a violation of the separation of church and state. In fact, it is exactly what the Church should do…admonish elected officials to do their job and enforce the civil law.
He's not lying. Speaking the truth.
Leave Ed Young alone!!! Houston should be thankful for him. Free speech !!!
LMFAO 😂
Dr. Ed Youn is right!
Dr. Young is a good Christian, Pastor, and Patriot God Bless him for standing up for Biblical truth,Praise God for him.
@@tomnalley3644Amen!
Well, you know the old saying?! ......... 'The TRUTH hurts!!' Preach on Brother Young!
Go Ed Young, a native Houstonian.
He should be able to speak the truth, give his opinion on things.
I don’t have an issue with that. But in church? I think those who stil go to church go to get away from everyday news cycle of politics to hear the good word.
@@screwstontexas12345 that’s what they did in Nazi Germany. And we all know how that went…
Dr. Young is speaking truth. Period. Not his opinion. It’s truth.
@@gypsysoul5513 huh? Because i feel that church and politics shouldn’t mix? Just like i feel work and politics shouldn’t mix.
@@screwstontexas12345
He’s speaking on crime and the law. That’s exactly what the Bible speaks about.
““Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.”
Matthew 5:17 NLT
“They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.”
Romans 2:15 NLT
““These are the decrees and regulations you must be careful to obey when you live in the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. You must obey them as long as you live.”
Deuteronomy 12:1 NLT
“Moses called all the people of Israel together and said, “Listen carefully, Israel. Hear the decrees and regulations I am giving you today, so you may learn them and obey them! “You must not have any other god but me. “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected-even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands. “You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name. “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, “Honor your father and mother, as the Lord your God commanded you. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. “You must not murder. “You must not commit adultery. “You must not steal. “You must not testify falsely against your neighbor. “You must not covet your neighbor’s wife. You must not covet your neighbor’s house or land, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.”
Deuteronomy 5:1, 7-13, 16-21 NLT
He is just telling the truth. You can't run from the facts
The fact that they’re threatening him with the IRS is absolutely ridiculous must’ve hurt your feelings
But it's the truth 😂 upset about the truth? Can't handle it?
I can't handle the truth! Save us Lina Hidalgo!
@@oSnapMillerTime she is a waste of space, she shouldn't be in office.
I'm shocked....shocked , I tell ya that KHOU would come out blaring the defense "line" of the DNC position with the "some people say" approach " ....
Some people say KHOU is a liberal outlet.
I’m not shocked. Our local media has all shown where their loyalties lie.
@@ss_whole Their 'Verify" segment is such bull. They actually said that we weren't in a recession even though the indicators that we are in one are blatantly present.
He told it. So why are you mad?
The opposite of voting left might be right, but it's not the only option... I didn't hear him say that you have to vote right
He didn't say which way they HAD to vote.
He just said which way he doesn't want them to vote.
He right just look at there crime rate ,
Harris County is the worst in Texas I’m glad I moved
I wish I could 😂
Preach truth . No line crossed . He is not telling the who to vote for
Full support to this great Pastor 🧐✊👍
More anti-Christian propaganda from KHOU.
Truth is from God and that Godly man, Pastor Edwin Young, Sr. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Article XVI, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution outlines the official oath of office as follows:
“I, _______________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the
duties of the office of ___________________ of the State of Texas, and will to the best of my
ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this
State, so help me God.”
In addition, before taking the oath of office and beginning the duties of office, each elected or
appointed officer required to take the oath must also subscribe to the following statement:
“I, _______________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have not directly or
indirectly paid, offered, promised to pay, contributed, or promised to contribute any money or
thing of value, or promised any public office or employment for the giving or withholding of a
vote at the election at which I was elected or as a reward to secure my appointment or
confirmation, whichever the case may be, so help me God.”
@Baby Girl
Indeed. The media and politicians are two different tentacles of the same octopus.
Excuse me Houstonians sorry that it hurt your feelings he is a pastor of a church of course he doesn’t stand for radical far left that support abortion and gay marriage that’s not what he’s here to preach about if you don’t like what he’s saying you don’t have to listen freedom of speech let freedom live
From what I have seen over the years, what he says is the truth. Probably should not have said it the way he did, but I can also see where many should be getting upset over the way these two-bit politicians work. These people are hypocrites. Bet many of these same people said that Demented Joe's campaign speech of last Thursday should have been paid by the taxpayer.
😳 wow, yeah you wouldn't expect anything like that when going to church. That's a little wild
Ohhh. So we’re not going to talk about Mt Corinth Baptist being a donor to SheJack’s campaign?? How about New Light Church?? No? I see
Who cares what the left think....if the shoe fits then wear it
VOTE REPUBLICAN THIS NOVEMBER 2022 MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AMERICAN DREAN AND AMERICA FIRST VOTE REPUBLICAN!!
When government officials refuse to uphold civil law, a come to Jesus meeting is exactly what is required. That is a pastor’s job.
Good for this pastor. Keep it coming louder
The First Amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
I go to a house of worship⛪ be cause Jesus said for us to gather ourselves together on one accord and there too he will dwell. Political oratory have no place in a house of worship, unless of course you want to cause division among the citizens. Would you want Donald J Trump behind your pulpit spouting the hate and evil and boldface lies that he does every time his jaws move. 🤔 I think not.
My pastor, YAY!Thank you, Pastor Young. Keep speaking the truth., your God given right of FREE SPEECH. God bless you and may He keep a hedge of safety around you. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen. 🙏❤
How sad you actually support this racist pos. You should also defend your own people not try to fit in with those against your own kind, ancestry, etc. God would never see a despicable person like him as a real pastor or christian. Jesus would slap you and him.
There is nothing christian about preaching hate and racism. He called the immigrants garbage and you should support and want to help them if you have any holiness at all. God would never approve of this despicable man.
At this point if you’re going to mix politics and the church, then you might as we’ll start paying taxes!
Church is where politics start, that's the foundation of our republic
A food pastor will lead his flock in all areas of their lives.❤
The problem is that he's not actually speaking on the word of God, which says "The authorities that exist have been established by God" (Rom. 13:1). If the authorities have been established by God, then we've been handed over to the spirit we've chosen, which resides in them. Dr. Young should be explaining that fact rather than getting caught up in political rhetoric so that people understand that they need to return to God and He will restore them and place good rulers over them. The left being bad doesn't make the right good. God is sovereign and He contends with us regarding the spirit we've chosen by sending calamity (2 Chron. 7) and punishment for disobedience (Lev. 26) or blessing for obedience (Lev. 26). Political rhetoric is of the world. God's people are supposed to know better.
Spoken like a true atheist
The people of God are to always stand up for righteousness. Jesus told the Jewish leaders their father was the devil because of their deeds.
@@lovegod9045 "Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” (John 8:42-47). Jesus told the Pharisees that their father was the devil because He discerned based on the following: 1. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God," and 2. His language was not clear to them and they were unable to hear what He said. Jesus told the people that they were children of the devil because the Father hardened them from being able to hear His message and recognize the Messiah. Your deeds come from your heart and the faith or lack of faith in your heart. Not the other way around. He discerned their hearts and the spirit in their hearts.
“If authorities have been established be God”
This requires discernment because all authorities have not been established by God.

“Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.”

@@theeric so what are you
Are his statistics wrong? We are losing our country because the Dems are in power and passing destructive legislation to this country. Defund the police results in unsafe cities. Unchecked illegal immigration erases a country's borders and takes away its sovereignty. Unchecked spending will collapse our economy and steal our wealth. The war the Democrats have launched on the energy companies will impact us all and make us dependent on our enemies for our country's energy needs. And I could go on. Are we all supposed to stand by and watch quietly?????
@@lovegod9045 ...If Republicans were in power, their only goal would be to make the rich richer by giving them massive tax breaks & putting increased burden on the working class. They don't care about cops based on their attack on the capitol on January 6th. They want to defend the FBI. They want to control a woman's body. They are responsible for violence on schools, Healthcare workers & people of color. Republicans are only concerned about power. They have done absolutely nothing beneficial for the country for decades. They will do anything to maintain power. Even overthrow the democracy of the USA.
Well I would contend that the truth is being spoken… drink it in and then get on your knees and ask for forgiveness!
He has plenty of bad sermons too. He called BLM groups Marxist and ????
Tax them
This is where the phrase “separation of church and state originated…
Thomas Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists
The Final Letter, as Sent
To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.
“Gentlemen
The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
“I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.
Th Jefferson
Jan. 1. 1802.”
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.”
What does this mean? The government is not to be involved in legislating religious thought or speech. The government’s only role is to ensure that no religious action, such as mandatory church attendance, membership or religious fasting, be imposed upon the people as the rule of civil law. It does NOT require religious people, be they pastors or laymen, to abandon their opinions at the alter or in the pulpit. Quite the opposite, in fact. It guarantees they have the right to speak their opinions from such places.
Blah blah blah.... it’s going to be the same next week. Worry about your family. Those are crazy people
Ed young has always been racist !! All the rants are his true feelings he has said a lot of stuff
Pastor Ed Young: "judge not least you be judged". You've open your house of worship to a visit by IRS and the State of Texas. It may be a 501-3C violation. Your congregation can think, politically, for themselves. We all get overwhelmed by the criminality going on, 24/7, in our communites, but the word of God is the best weapon against abomination. As a citizen you have every right to rail against lawlessness. Just do your political speech outside of your ministry and don't comingle the two. I hear, and will continue to hear you preach. No harm done!
Nobody cares about your hate for Second Baptist
I whole heartedly agree, that Pastor Young is telling the truth, but the pharisees tried bridging the cassum between the word of God and politics and all they produced was religion. The faith of autocrats. Stick to God's word and stop trying to fight Satan. God made evil and the devil but he gave us free will. Getting out and preaching to sinners is not the job of a politician and propagandizing the public with pseudo promises is the job of a preacher. By the way, Jesus Christ is the church, a house of worship is where we amass on one accord in his name.
Politics in church doesn’t surprise me.
Blah blah is there any truth to his statement 🙄
A white pastor mixing church and state in the pulpit? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Yep. Al Sharpton and the head of the Rainbow Push Coalition Jesse Jackson have been going to black churches to tell them how to vote for decades with not a complaint from the media.
I don't see any facts
"...after some accuse him of mixing church and politics during sermon"
You mean after he blatantly and intentionally mixed politics into his sermon. He's been highly political for years now and saying things like "Houston, in all probability , right now is the most dangerous city in America" is not only not true, it's extremely dangerous. Notice how careful he was with his words there...he actually said "in all probability" twice (once in this clip and then he went on to say "in all probability, Houston is one of the two or three most dangerous cities in the world to live in," which should tell you right there he doesn't actually know...or he does know, and he's lying), but that didn't stop him from loosely and irresponsibly implying that Houston is "more dangerous" than places like Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, etc. In fact, the 10 most dangerous cities in America in terms of violent crime per capita are:
1) Bessemer, Alabama
2) East St. Louis, Illinois
3) Monroe, Louisiana
4) St. Louis, Missouri
5) Detroit, Michigan
6) Baltimore, Maryland
7) Memphis, Tennessee
8) Camden, New Jersey
9) Flint, Michigan
10) Pine Bluff, Arkansas
Houston is ranked #53. Other notable cities in the top 100 are:
13) Kansas City
15) Little Rock
19) Milwaukee
20) Myrtle Beach
22) Cleveland
25) Albuquerque
27) Indianapolis
30) Oakland
39) Charleston, WV
41) Anchorage, AK
42) Compton, CA
45) Nashville
52) New Orleans
56) Minneapolis
57) Chicago
63) Chattanooga
67) Tulsa
68) Baton Rouge
72) Buffalo
73) Washington D.C.
79) Atlanta
80) Shreveport
81) Miami Beach
83) Cincinnati
86) Philadelphia
Now, look at all the responses on here saying "we need all pastors preaching like this...I noticed nobody refuted the facts Dr. Young put out there...the pastor was just telling the truth...he speaks the truth...the Democrat party is 'crying foul' proves the pastor was right...if your pastor isn't preaching this kind of truth, you're in the wrong church...etc., etc., etc."
I don't know what's scarier..."Dr." Young bringing politics into his sermons or his audience believing his misinformation without taking the few minutes it would take to research what he's selling.
You folks need to learn the law! File your complaint with the IRS!! They will do NOTHING! THEY CANT. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO STOP THIS PASTOR.
Pastor Ed Young is a senile old man who wouldn't know the "BIBLICAL TRUTH" IF IT BIT HIM IN THE REAR-END!!!! CHURCH AND STATE MUST REMAIN SEPARATE. If Ed Young (who supports THE APARTHEID, ETHNIC CLEANSING, ROGUE, TERRORIST STATE OF ISRAEL UNCONDITIONALLY) wants to PREACH his political agenda including "WHO TO VOTE FOR" from the Church pulpit (which he has done multiple times); it's time for the Internal Revenue Service to 'VOID" Second Baptist Church's Property Tax Exemption Certification!!!! In 1954, Congress approved an amendment by Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson to prohibit 501(c)(3) organizations, which includes charities and churches, from engaging in political influence activity or political statements of support for foreign government agents. To the extent Congress has revisited the ban over the years, it has in fact strengthened the ban.
As leadership of all the members he has in his organization. I hope he understands not every one sitting there or listening or watching is all right wingers 😂‼
If you get offended by the truth,thats your problem.
If one can sit and listen to sermon after sermon and still espouse to a perverted leftist ideology,they have alot more to worry about than whether a pastor says something political from the pulpit.
Not debating or defending, I'm just using common sense courtesy. If you draw a line its always people on both sides👌
Hmmmm
Separation between church and state!
Freedom of Speech and freedom of religion.
@@xXKillaBGXx the right to protest and freedom from religious oppression.
Someone doesn’t understand freedom of religion
That just means the state doesn't have control of the church
Did you listen to the sermon. He addressed that.
He does it all the time. He should know better. Shame on him. So he supports the right wing lawlessness
You do know Houston is rated #1 in murder and is ran by democrats, right?
You apparently missed the entire point about lawlessness.
@@jeffspearman5678 I listen to that preacher all the time and I can clearly see where his affiliation lies. His political choice is definitely not Christ like. As a preacher he should know he cannot put any person above the Lord. He is clearly telling his flock to support a certain political party over the other.
@@lucycan6363 No one cares what a faithless person thinks🤷🏼
@@lucycan6363 He is telling them to vote for righteousness and abortion on demand and deleting the name of God from your party platform is not that.
What happened to biblical brotherly love? Anyway, it's good that these ppl come out and show their true colors. As for their followers, they are called lambs for a reason.
Why don't you check the statistics he quoted? That should bother you too.
@@lovegod9045 Ed Young used info from an incomplete report wherein crime data from other big US cities were not included, like Detroit, New Orleans, etc. Regardless, my point is he stoked fear and political division in his flock, instead of emphasizing Jesus's teaching of love.
@@hdlam1 People should be fearful to live on a city where you no longer feel safe going out at night. Jesus' words were not all about love. He spoke about a place called Hell for
