Calling Christian’s sheep is the most accurate things ever
I mean they call themselves sheep so🤷🏼♀️
They are sheep
He's the good Shepard! Honored to be a sheep 🐑
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” I’m glad I’m a sheep following the great shepherd! For I know he will lead us to righteousness
@@shrimpgabe3812 bahh little sheep bahh
In the words of Rhett Mclaughlin: I'm not asking you to agree
I'm just asking you to believe me
You say my heart was never true
That might say more 'bout you
"Let's talk about that". Smooth.
*GMM intro music plays*
Smooth Brain indeed
Rhett told me i would find funny videos like this 😂.
I’m glad I am not the only one to come looking for the train wrecks after watching Rhett say that he really enjoys watching these videos.
Same!
Yep😂😂
I came to find the funny videos.. But it's kinda boring.. I thought there'd be atleast one good point..
Be kind to Christians please
Most people are not going to just listen to a deconstruction story and immediately change their beliefs. It is a process that takes a lot of time for the individual. Listening to other peoples stories can sometimes be an aid to provide you with the courage to take the step out that you’ve been hesitant to make
well put
Saying that rhett and link were never truly Christian is such a slap in the face to everyone. These were the same people who were trying to "save" one of their best friends who was DYING by having him become a christian. So don't you dare try to weasel your way out of an actual conversation by just saying "oh i guess they were never truly Christians to begin with" you're a joke and anyone who uses that argument is just as terrible!
Despise it as you may, it’s a sincere argument. This young man likely believes in something called the perseverance of the saints- basically the doctrine that God causes His chosen ones to remain in the faith. In other words, *if* a person is saved, that person will persevere to the end by God’s grace. Thus, anyone who departs the faith proves themselves to have been never saved at all- because according to the doctrine, if you are saved, God will cause you to persevere to the end. Ergo, if you don’t persevere, you were not saved.
I’m not saying i advocate for this belief. I am just explaining it.
@@jncon8013he’s not a Calvinist
@@Maniacjet I didn’t say he was. You can believe in the “P” in TULIP without being a Calvinist. This is common in many Protestant/evangelical circles.
This comment section is funny. Y’all don’t understand how INTO the faith R&L were. They constantly participated in their church, led religious youth groups in their schools, and even tried to convert their dying friend multiple times. I’m pretty sure they even said their last memory of him was trying to convert him. These aren’t people who just went to church and that’s it, these two were in the faith more than most believers. Their decision to leave the faith came due to them leaving their comfort zone and learning more about the world. They saw flaws in the religion they dedicated their entire youth to and decided that their morality aligns more so with other groups then with The Church. As someone who has also left the faith all I ask from those with faith is to understand that nothing on Earth is perfect and that there are flaws in every establishment and belief. Those who leave the faith don’t need saving or judgement, just understand that people have very valid reasons for the decisions that make. You may believe you have all the answers and know the right way to live, but there will always be questions that you’re incapable of answering. Peace 🤘
I respect that. But the thing that makes me stay in the faith more is when people bash Christianity and lift up other religions. I just saw this verse in the Bible that sayed something like "they will mock you and bash you down" or something like that. And every time someone does that it makes me believe a little more. I also see how there are some things about the Bible that don't make sense but then remember that it wasn't written in English and I want to learn Hebrew and Greek so I can read the original writings.
@@unknowns8890 Don’t let your faith blind you to criticism. What you may view as bashing is actually criticism based in reality. While there’s a lot of good in The Church there’s also a lot of evil within it. Using criticism to fuel faith will only cause you to become blind to the truth. It’s healthy for a community to self reflect and understand their flaws along with their strengths.
Like you said, the current day Bible isn’t exactly what’s been written originally. Our understanding of the Bible is incorrect. It’s been edited and manipulated throughout history. The Church has been integral in European politics throughout history. It’s been used as a political object as much as a religious one. Unless you’ve read the original texts then you don’t truly know the word of God.
I’m not questioning your faith or anything. I just want you to understand that The Church isn’t immune to criticism and is often at fault. If you have a suit of armor with clear flaws then you’re still defenseless. Others can find those flaws and expose them. You must accept that your armor isn’t perfect and learn how best to defend while using it. Trust in God’s word is good! Just remember to be skeptical of the snakes who want to use that word to distort your vision. Peace 🤘
It is very possible to be in church and to be very actively involved in church activities including teaching and leading in prayers or worship songs and yet not to have met and known the person of Christ. It is possible still to think you have met Him but yet not know Him unless and until you have obeyed His word that calls for your total loyalty in the form of daily self-denial, otherwise you cannot be one His disciples (disciplined learners).
When we go to Him we must go according to His instructions and not whatever we have learned from others.
Pls see Luke 9:23-24 and Luke 14:26-27
We cannot seek God according to our own perspective (understanding) and the word of God is clear on this.
See Proverbs 3:5-6
The LORD has never forced anyone to love Him. He has given to each one a will to choose for himself the path he wants to follow. One can either be his own boss or he may opt to surrender and submit to Christ's perspective and preferences. Christ must become your all or he won't be anything to you.
@@gabrielirungu5635 I don't think it's a good idea to suggest they were not christian in spirit, it's not a claim you can reliably make
It is important to recognize that faith can be broken, and once it does the only way to repair it is personally. You cannot do it for them.
you will also almost definitely disagree on what encouragement will mean to them.
Be careful you don't let your faith cause you to forget that love is two ways. They may never come back, but that is for them to decide
Rhett's very, very poor arguments against Christianity show that he did not consider is seriously. He was part of American, cultural Christianity, where you simply inherit it, sure, and believe it, sure, but have not really truly understood or considered it seriously.
This man unironically used the "not true Christians" argument, instantly made himself untrustworthy
Ironically, I will say "amen".
From the videos I have seen of them discussing their "christian past", I see people who put in works but had no faith
"They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be manifested that they all are not of us." (1 John 2:19)
Actually no he didn’t. He quoted a bible verse. That bible verse 1 John 2:19 “They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.” This is not “his” argument. This is the bible’s argument. This is Christianity argument. And since we (Christians) believe that the bible is true, i.e. God’s Word. This is God’s argument. You want to disagree no problem. Just don’t be fooled, this is not one single man’s argument, he didn’t come up with this, he is simply the messenger. God bless
@@bobbico03 argument is still shit, very cult like behaviour also. Basically shunning and gaslighting anyone who leaves
Cherry picking scripture will have you believing in a different Yeshua... It's all or nothing literally... Since the church just wants snippets, they are starving spiritually and morally... The church no longer wants to be separate, but blend in and take the blade off of the LORD's (eternal) WORD... Making what the LORD deems abominations into hate speech now and entirely throws that part out.. Of course that's not possible, what they are really dismissing and throwing out is their eternity with the KING OF KINGS... Compromise is satan's work shop....
its fulfillment of II timothy 4 (turning away from sound doctrine) .... unfortunately they don't realize that they are turning away from God in doing so
AMEN!
You do see how disgusting and bigoted that is though right? That's the definition of a totalitarian system. How can you claim such ultimate and uncompromising truth with no basis except a book written thousands of years ago about things that no one could ever reasonably know?
Your first argument of "oh they never really truly believed in God/put their fate in God" is literally one of the main arguments they had mentioned people were gonna use in the very first podcast they talked about their faith and lack therof. I'm already used to religious people leaving me beyond unamused, but it never stops surprising me how truly ridiculous religious beliefs are and how meaningless all the bickering is: "oh no, you see, the problem isn't that you believe in completely unfalsifiable bs that descriminates against certain groups of people and that for that and other reasons it leaves you feeling empty, the problem is you just haven't done it like my religion does! We're the real deal! Somehow only we got it right! hehe", just incredibly pitiful.
I know you probably mean well but you need stop lying to yourself if you believe religion can't be harmful in a million different ways.
IS THIS DUDE HONESTLY SAYING YOU CAN'T QUESTION HOW MORAL GOD AND HIS ACTIONS ARE BECAUSE GOD INVENTED MORALITY AND HE GETS THE FINAL SAY AND WE'RE JUST CRAPPY LITTLE HUMANS THAT SHOULD NOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES? 😭😭
Having a consistent moral framework based on agreeable axioms is a worse way to arrive at good and wrong than believing some book that tells you all the rules you should follow? Really? And you wonder why people think religion is harmful when you're literally saying "don't question authority, they always know what they're doing"? I WONDER! GEE WHAT A MISTERY!!!1!!
Also agreeable axioms seems like fancy talk for subjective opinion which I would argue is not an objective unchanging basis for morality; aka no basis for morality apart from an object source: God.
Dr Frank turek has videos again if you’re curious. Good luck in your search hope you choose the right one “ “ haha
It’s so condescending when someone will tell you you just don’t understand it, even after you’ve obviously made your own informed opinion. The point of them explaining their bonafides and history in the faith is to show it’s not an uninformed opinion. They lived it for years and truly believed it to be true. People change.
Rhett's very, very poor arguments against Christianity show that he did not consider is seriously. He was part of American, cultural Christianity, where you simply inherit it, sure, and believe it, sure, but have not really truly understood or considered it seriously.
@@michaelmannucci8585 that’s not even close to true. They dedicated portions of their lives to the faith, and went as far as traveling the country to represent and spread the word. He has hours of content explain his very real contemplation of his life in the church and his connection to his faith. I know the difference because I am very much the person you described. Spent the first 18 years of my life in the church and never gave enough of a fuck to do the bare minimum.
@@possessedbygenesis8585 Please read what I said again:
"Rhett's very, very poor arguments against Christianity show that he did not consider is seriously."
*Consider* it seriously. The arguments and objections he now makes against Christianity are not something any serious thinking Christian would be moved by. They show a lack of serious contemplation of the issues, and are more so objections to his experience of "churchianity" than any serious, Biblical Christainity.
@@michaelmannucci8585 so I guess it’s safe to say you’ve watched all 6+ hours of Rhett alone deconstructing his faith?
You really think that is true? Go look up the underground church in China. There is estimated over 100 million Christians there and still growing. Christians that will face, prison, beating, torture, rape etc. for their faith.
I think you are so condescending for you to think Rhett as a “real” “informed” “truly a believer” Christian, while Christians living in China are dying for their faith. There are other Christian all around their world ready to do the same. Just because someone called themselves a Christina for 300 years and had to participate in extra curricular activities because of it, doesn’t make them true or sincere. Some people in America, are “Christian” because they grew up in a Christian home, and think its a “good moral decision” to be a Christian. Remember, you don’t really know Rhett’s sincerity just because you saw all his videos.
1 John 2:19
Those who are sealed are sealed. No one comes to God lest the spirit of God draws them. Man didn’t draw me to God and man can’t draw me away.
That's such a crazy thought process that if you leave us, you were never us.
fr, makes me so mad when people think they know you better than you do
It's what the Bible says:
"They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be manifested that they all are not of us." 1 John 2:19
@@michaelmannucci8585 give context please. Don’t use random verses to prove someone wrong when you don’t know what they’re talking about.
@@addition28 I'm telling you the Bible teaches that if you are truly a Christian, you remain one because it isn't something you do, but something the Spirit of God does in you. Expecting a Christian to not believe what the Bible says on this is not a realistic expectation.
@@michaelmannucci8585 i don’t think you understand what i mean- What is that chapter of john talking about? it is not smart to give random sentences from a book without understanding what the sentence is talking about. So what is that WHOLE chapter of john talking about?
Praise Jesus Always! ✝️🛐😇❤🙏
Haircut looks great!
I genuinely appreciate you covering Rhett and Links comments. As someone who grew up watching them and see them go through their deconstruction, I immediately saw the damage their perspectives would have on their viewers. What makes it even more difficult is that with a background in the Church, they believe they speak on behalf of Christianity, claiming wrongs and assumptions because of their experience rather than seeking to die to their thoughts, speculations and feelings to find an honest relationship with Jesus
Exactly, I worry about this too. Too many people take the word of those who have deconstructed and deconverted as the truth about Christianity when there are equally as many, if not more, Christians who have faced similar issues but still believe in Christ. I can only pray that Rhett and Link may reconsider Christ and a deep relationship with Him on their journey for truth.
Too many people think that because they sat in a pew, sang in a choir, or played a guitar I'm church, that they know God on a personal level.
When you leave the Christian faith, it means you didn't really know God on a personal level, nor did you actually comprehend the story of the Bible. I ran around claiming to be a "christian" and barely even read the four Gospels.
I was never truly with the faith. It's simply the goat and sheep separation.
I appreciate your take on this. I'm curious what you mean by "damage their perspective would have on their viewers". Have they said anything that can be construed as damaging?
Second: you stated "they believe they speak on behalf of Christianity". When did they claim this?
@@josiahlutchman4913 I have heard this perspective before and I honestly don't understand it. I'm hoping you can help me understand. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you saying that it is impossible for a believer to become a non-believer? Can you explain why? I guess my confusion is that I can think of things I used to believe and then I learned something that convinced me to no longer believe them.
If someone says "I used to believe and now I don't", can't we just accept that and move on? Can't we leave it alone and let people express that thought without comment? Is it offensive or dangerous to accept that some people change their beliefs? I truly appreciate your insight.
@@dansoelberg "Correct me if I'm wrong but are you saying that it's impossible for a believer to become a non-believer?"
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. If you have a relationship with God, it's a living, breathing thing that is clear for you to see, leaving the faith shows that you didn't have a true relationship with Him.
"Can we let people express that thought without comment?"
No. Not when they have an audience reach and label the Christian faith as some type of random religious indoctrination, and not a relationship with God, through Christ Jesus.
"Is it offensive or dangerous" well yes it is because you can drag people down with your personal beliefs. People rarely ever flesh out their true beliefs on their own btw.
So it's really true that my 1 year old infant son is born guilty because you have a conscious and "feel it"? Ha! That's ridiculous. Keep your toxic guilt beliefs to yourself.
FYI - I know you think god has "chosen" you and given you enlightenment about your morally superior standards. Do just a little research to find out for yourself how your so-called god given standard have changed even in the last 500 years. No Christian would have ever considered remarriage after divorce of a living spouse for the first 1500 years of church history. That would have been considered ADULTERY... now it's not only common, but even accepted.
I've seen people try to "de-construct" Christianity many many times and as a Christian trying to get out of the lukewarm it's really harmful to my faith and I think your videos have been helping me stay on track thank you
Well although the braiding hair part was in the New Testament, it still isn’t a sin. The verses that talk about braiding hair are actually telling us not to be obsessed with our outer looks but rather our inner beauty.
@noorsulaimani I like looking feminine and put together simple adornment is sometimes just the style not something inherently vain.
Not to mention the 1st century Council of Jerusalem ruling that most of the civil and ceremonial laws of the Mosaic code were no longer necessary according to Acts 15
@noorsulaimani exactly! Thanks for your comment❤️
@noorsulaimani Exactly. It was also a show of their wealth, because women with maids were able to wear more elaborate hairstyles than those without. I think we can translate this to modern day church, where some women come with large, fancy hats, trying to show off and outdo the other women. It speaks to the heart of pride and vanity, not the actual hairstyel.
I think a lot of people in this comment sections aren’t really listening to what Rhett and link have said and have misinterpreted what they said in the podcast. Might’ve jus been improper phrasing by them but they constantly reiterate that they don’t represent or what they’re talking represents Christianity as whole. Also they constantly repeat themselves that they’re specifically talking about “southern evangelical Christianity” and “their” experience with how they lived they’re lives with the religion and how it was practiced locally in their home state. The majority of the reasons the bring on why they left “southern evangelical Christianity” is Bc of what third party beliefs are associated and sometimes had inadvertently been merged with the religious itself, such as racism as they touched on in the podcast and they also mention how they looked statistics of the correlation between white supremacy and white Christianity. There are plenty of non biased sources with these types of research, and they always repeat themselves and remind the viewers that this not every Christian. And yes they probably weren’t even true true Christians to begin with based on how they viewed and practiced the religion in the past but that shouldn’t negate what they experienced growing up in the religion
Right there with you! Just admit you don't believe instead of lying to yourself and creating a false picture of a Christian. Then...lets talk about your eternal state.
I posted this on another one of your videos, and it applies to this as well:
I appreciate your video. It sounds like you're giving a sincere response to Rhett and Link's account of their experience. Your videos regarding Rhett and Link clearly explain your perspective as a believer. I am understanding that from your perspective, anyone who does not hold the exact same beliefs as you is rejecting what is obviously true. I am understanding that your religion is not simply telling you to believe whatever they tell you to believe, but that your religion understands the true nature of god, understands the fallible and sinful nature of humans, and has explained how you can serve god and live a life of meaning that leads to heaven. You believe that this makes you right and anyone who believes otherwise wrong and misguided. Therefore anyone who doesn't agree with your religion lives a life without meaning, because meaning can only come from god. By extension, happiness experienced without faith in your religion is not even remotely close to the happiness you experience with faith, and any suffering the faithful feel is negligible compared the overwhelming and consuming anguish that is stricken on those without faith. You believe that your religious faith describes reality in the only way that it can be understood, and all its doctrines give you divine insight to the only way of living that god deems acceptable and worthy. Your beliefs elevate you above everyone who does not share your beliefs. By extension, you feel perfectly justified to automatically reject beliefs that do not comport to your own without considering their justification, and your conviction in your beliefs makes you feel justified in dismissing non-believers' experiences and their very identities. You believe you are a properly valid human being because of your religious belief, and therefore those who do not share your religious beliefs are not. You do not simply believe you know what is right to believe, you have the absolute conviction that you ARE RIGHT, which logically means that everyone who does not share your beliefs IS WRONG. I totally get it. Thank you for explaining.
So I'm guessing you don't believe that there is one truth?....
@@luizeoko-j1759 It's been my experience that every person seems to have their own interpretation of what one truth means to them. Even in the same church where people agree on the main ideas, individual details are different person to person. I'm curious-how do you interpret the idea of one truth?
@@dansoelberg I guess no how matter how much I explain one truth it will still seem like "my interpretation of one truth".... I just commented because it seems like nowadays others can have their truth except christians
@@luizeoko-j1759 Yes, I agree-if you explain one truth it will be your particular interpretation of one truth. Because you asked the question, I'd like to know how you define it so I can determine if I believe in it. I'm curious, but you're free to not respond.
Actually, I'm more interested in your new point that others can have their truth except Christians. What's happening in your part of the world?
@@dansoelbergSo my understanding of one truth is simply that there is one truth. eg this cup is blue and that is the truth, the cup is blue. so what if a colorblind person says it's is black or grey. The question is, is that statement true? My understanding is that "No, the statement is false and the cup is in fact blue" but the most popular interpretation is " yes the statement is true because what she sees is black her truth is different from your truth". I hope you get where I'm going with this. For me truth is not relative to a person's emotions or perspective...I believe that there maybe several interpretation of truth but only one can be true making the others false.
Which brings me to why I think that only christians nowadays seem to be persecuted because of "their own truth" . Christian belief has always been exclusive and heavily believing in a clear distinction between right and wrong. And we live in a dispensation where that line is being blurred and people don't really like being told that they are wrong. eg christians say we believe this is wrong and this is the concequence, other people might say their own truth but most of the time we are the ones being called out as bigoted, (whatever)phobic .... However of course I may feel this way because I am a christian and we have been at the recieving end of attacks even by just saying "our truth" and walking away.
I was trying to figure out who you remind me of and 'Kirby is a Boss' came to mind haha
There's no weaseling going on there, no trickery. There are many different sects/denominations of Christianity, and some of those sects have been harmful to certain people and harmful to some humans that have been involved with some of said sects/denominations, harmful to their development as a human
Every time I read a science book, I get answers with examples and evidence and sources
Every time I ask a Christian, it’s just “you better think like I do or my dads gonna beat you up”
All this “deconstructing” is sad but it’s not like we weren’t warned.
Singer Audrey Assad posted an interview she did recently about her own deconstruction. Same story about being an LGBT advocate and basically left the faith.
I hope and pray for her and others in this deconstruction movement to come back to, or just overall come to Christ.
Let us not lose heart. Jesus has overcome the world!
Wait.........what!?
What exactly was the reason that Ms. Assad left Christianity? The only reason I could pick up is learning something from Richard Rohr who's theology is just heretical.
Why is it sad?
@@greeneyesgirl467 it's not. Rhett made his choice and decided that the world has a different morality to what is in the Bible. The heavily bigoted one where women are property, it's illegal to be anything but a cishet person of any gender, where owning people as property is okay, where God can do whatever it wants with our lives, including make it a living hell. Why people worship a narcissistic abusive tyrant is beyond me. God has all the makings of an abusive father. same rhetoric too. "Look at what you made me do! You're so naughty, I have to punish you for this. I brought you into this world and trust me you won't like where you're headed if you disobey!"
It's actually insane.
Knowing Rhett and his wife probably watched this laughing makes me happy.
I listened to their stories too :/ Basically, they (rightly) decided Calvinism isn’t true and threw the whole faith out instead of just the Calvinism.
@@777Treeoflife it has some truth, but it also twists truth. And hyper Calvinism has a totally different unjust god. I see why people raised in it are largely deciding Christianity is false. It’s leading people away from Christianity and therefore leading people away from God.
@@GratiaPrima_ what does Calvinism teach?
@@meatball5560 that we don’t have free will. God decides heaven or hell for us in his complete sovereignty.
@noorsulaimani yeah, Calvinism really does make God like the god of Islam. I’ve thought that before. I don’t like it. 👎
@@GratiaPrima_ aand as a Calvinist I can tell you that's not true lol
You speak so graciously, you know I grew up Christian but have really come to understand that I really wasn’t a part of the life for whatever reason I try to reconnect but can’t seem to feel anything. I have two teen boys who I can say are “okay” kids base on what the world’s say is okay standards right! And I’m also married for now what is to be 17 years and I thought I was doing good by not even talking about God and 3 years ago my husband got diagnosed with brain cancer he’s doing good. Well here is where it gets crazy. The first I don’t much because I literally was on auto pilot well I seem to think so, but some time in the second year I felt I something was catchingup I didn’t know what so I seek for God but instead I ended up making a mess I was being more religious than actually helping out my family to seek God it made them not even want to talk to me I even almost lost my marriage and all this as my husband has brain cancer and I felt like I did more harm then good. So now I’m scared because they don’t even want to believe that Jesus Christ is our only salvation how to I and my family start. Please pray for me and my family thank you
Hello. I see that you're going through a lot. We all make mistakes so please remove all of your guilt from life. It really won't help you. Maybe God wants to teach you something through pain, maybe God wants you to get closer to him. I don't know, YOU need to find out. What I recommend is stick to God even through so much of this pain (I know it's hard, but you need to stop following God by feelings because they're deceptive. It's easy to say but hard to do), If it's posible start fasting and praying that's really strong combo. Don't lose hope and faith. God will hear your cry, but let His will be done even if we don't like it it's best for us because he's good and caring. I will definitely pray for you because you need it. God bless you and your family.
Hey guys, I need some help. I’m struggling with idolatry, pride, lust. I spread the Gospel out of pride. And I need help. What should I do?
Personally I have the same issue with pride and I've tried to help myself throughout the years but that just affected myself self-esteem and made me dislike myself more...I sometimes still struggle with pride but with every prideful thought I have, I challenge it with the word of God, I tell myself what the Truth says, I tell myself as many times as it comes and let it be. Remind yourself of the real reason you are to share the gospel.
Remember that God is fully aware of what you are battling and as far as you are willing to be shaped by him, ask the Holy Spirit and let Him work on you because we can't do it ourselves.
Yo you should talk about the Sabbath!!!! Do you believe it's applicable now or not anymore? What are your thoughts, been studying this topic and want to know more about it!
Okay, I had to look this up after a recent clip I saw. I can't believe people make content like this. I mean, I can, but I also can't .
First view! Love your stuff!
People lose touch with their beliefs and begin believing what *others* believe about their beliefs. It's a real shame.
That’s a herd mentality most people have unfortunately. So many psychological studies prove this. Everyone in a group laughs? You want to laugh even if you don’t find it as funny. Society doesn’t like certain morals or ethics? You start to not like those morals and ethics. Why is this? It’s because we are social animals and we WANT to fit in. Even if the group has different beliefs from yours you will brainwash yourself into thinking you like those things too. That way you are not isolated and have a sense of belonging.
It’s because of this that the road to hell is large and many will follow it but the road to heaven is small and few will find it.
@@appledough3843 how do you know your on the right narrow road to heaven
Steven Freebairn - Herd beliefs, in the way you describe it, applies both to people who believe religion and people who don't believe religion. Let's just accept that whatever belief someone holds, there will be others who believe it as well, and therefore herd mentality applies. Therefore, anyone who believes anything is influenced by herd mentality. And yet, some people assert with conviction and confidence that their belief is more right than all other beliefs. If you assert that your belief is right, and part of the justification is that you are following a belief with many others who agree, and an authority that tells you that your herd belief is correct, can you claim that your belief isn't just the natural consequence of herd belief?
@@dansoelberg
Those are good points. That’s why I think “deconstruction” can be necessary in some way, so you can reevaluate what you were taught. Discern what’s true from what’s false. What’s biblical from what’s the churches tradition. Because if you raised in a church that teaches certain traditions it’s easy to accept that as truth. What’s more I think we need to STOP treating truth like it’s as simple as reading the alphabet. It’s not
@@aaromotivestudio3869 I appreciate your comment. Reading your response leads me to consider the different ways we all come to believe something is true. There are 3 basic categories as far as I can tell-things I experience, things I am told by other people, and discovered things that can be measured or demonstrated in the natural. All 3 categories must be in agreement for any belief to be true. If I have a belief that I'm having difficulty fitting in one of these 3 categories, my logical reasoning is flawed. If I believe something based on experience or what others tell me, but it cannot be measured or demonstrated in the natural, there is a problem. It could be an incidental belief that doesn't have a significant influence on my life, like thinking each country has its own moon (I know someone who actually believed this!). But if a false belief is at the core of my very identity and that false belief is foundational to my life's purpose and meaning, it can lead me to waste my precious life. Everyone's time is precious. It's something we all share.
It is important to realize that a person can feel an enormous sense of purpose and meaning in their life based on a false belief system, and they can die never discovering the truth.
I think that's kind of ignorant to say that if someone loses their faith, they never had faith to begin with. like, are you saying that the relationship with God they had wasn't real at all, and their conversion wasn't genuine? as in, it was an illusion/not real? or are you speaking more symbolically, like of they aren't continuing in the faith then we should consider it to be as if they were never part of us
Just wanted to ask a question. So you believe in once saved always saved? Just curious.
come to Christ on your own and you make the choice "come and see" dont base your choice off of other's experiences
Isaac, I love your hair 😱 Also great video brother. Keep up the good work :) 🙏
Part of the reason people leave Christianity is the fact that churches don’t really take the time to teach people like they should. You go to church, jump up and down in the pews, sing, and walk out the door learning nothing. Only a few smaller non mainstream churches try to teach their people well. Among the mainstream, there is Sunday school, but that doesn’t go as deep as it should, and it is based off traditions rather than what the Bible actually teaches. For instance, they teach Christmas as Christ birthday when it is not. Then, they go to church and find a bunch of hypocrites. Nothing is done about it and pastors continue to preach when they don’t even follow the Bible’s standards. The common trend is “this in the Bible doesn’t make sense.” The problem was never whether the Bible makes sense, the real problem is teaching things the Bible doesn’t teach. When those ex-Christian’s read the Bible for themselves, they get more confused because they look at things through the lens of what they were taught which is tradition. Then, the pastors themselves may not understand what they were taught. Oftentimes, they just preach what was told to them. There are many who come back to Christianity after finding that the Bible answers more things than they expect.
What do you do with Genetic Modified Sceptic?
No one that called into the podcast said they left the faith because of Rhett and Linj. If you are going to be critical. Be honest.
how does it feel to make a living on responding to the least charitable interpretation of Christian deconstruction?
The hypocrisy is strong with this one
"you were never truly a sheep"
Isn't that a good thing ?
100%😂
It's just your opinion that God has that as an opinion
Rhett and Link are spot on in their observations and honestly. Their argument holds much more weight considering how deep into the lifestyle they were.
Jesus Christ went to the cross and now lives to set sinful you free from death and hell. Repent and turn your heart to Him before it’s too late. Say yes!
Can you react to a video called “An Ex-Christian and Ex-atheist answer 10 questions “
Amen!
Nice work my brother in Christ!! And keep crushing it
But they are right
the people who left really just listened to man more than listening to God, they saw the people they liked and listened to online stop being Christian so they stopped being a Christian. Mhm.
@noorsulaimani to be honest with you i have no idea i just found it one day
One can deconstruct the christisnity that has developed historically as part of Western civilization, how European civilization has influenced Christianity and vise versa. But any attempt to. deconstruct the Bible is to meet .with failure . You could probably deconstruct an opinionated commentary on the bible. Don't worry about the latest fads in literar criticism. The Bible is not of a nature to be simply a human concoction, it is God's sermon to humanity after Adam. It contains our Creators word to us all through it. The gospel cannot be it is the first primary document from which all other literature flows. Besides heaven and earth will pass away , but Our Father's word is forever and always, eternal. Can't get behind it You either believe it or not. Where there is confluence of values between the world and true Christians, those who are in Christ regenerate, it is important not to leaven our belief with the values of the
world or ideas. which deceive abberanty. Values foreign to the what our Savior values which are intrinsic to Christian sitting, standing , walking. as pilgrims and servants of God in this present time in eternity. Praise God. Deconstructionism is a popular neo Marxist way throwing western though, law and political scie
I would be interested to see you scientifically prove that we know right from wrong - throughout time and culture.
Halleujah
A harmful and hateful belief system?
No. I don't think so.
Before coming to God, I was an extremely angry, hateful, anxious, unstable, depressed atheist.
I had plenty of freedom to live in a way that could prop myself up and focus on myself. I tried to. I tried self help and self care. When I did, I still felt sad and miserable. And mind you, I paid no mind to Christians. I thought they were idiots at the time. So, they had no influence on me and how I felt.
Coming to know and accept Christ has filled the hole in my soul that I could never solve alone. Christianity is a beautiful faith. It teaches that we are to love everyone, teaches us to care for eachother, and that we are all redeemable. Teaching that we are all broken, I don't see that as a bad thing. We all suffer and are experiencing pain. All of us. We are all seeking purpose, and are all seeking purpose. We are all trying to hide our pain of fix ourselves. Pointing that out isn't harmful in my opinion.
Was I aware of love and redemption before christ? Yes. But, deciding how to live for myself and living on my own was not enough. My soul felt dead.
As for guilt and shame, if you are feeling immense guilt and shame, that is not good. I think you need to seek spiritual help, or psycological help if you constantly feel guilt and shame. That isn't healthy and I really wouldnt want anyone to feel that way.
As for hateful, I don't think a faith that calls for us to love and watch out for others is hateful. There have been "christians" that have used their faith as an excuse to be judgemental and pick on others. Whether it's by fixating on lgtvq and telling them that God "hates them" or that they are disgusting, horrible people deserving of death.
I'd say these aren't really Christians because they arent following a Christ like example. They haven't had a change in their soul.
There absolutely can be love without affirmation. The key is to be gentle, patient, kind, to listen, and to be there for someone. That's how you show love to someone, and that's what real love is. It is honest, and strong enough to tell you when something may not be good for you.
Ultimately, I feel bad that they felt soo horrible as Christians. I wish they didn't, and I wish they had help. But, this is the choice they made, I suppose.
So basically you can’t accept and love yourself, and you need someone to tell you they do. So you accept nonsense to get that.
@@LiveLXStudios Well, if that is how you perceive it. Your mind is already made up there.
I suppose it does seem "nonsensical." And it may stay that way to you. If it does, that's perfectly fine.
But I'd have to wonder why you responded to me, and what you were hoping for as a response.
Christianity will last a long time more, but it will continue to dwindle. That's ok though, we don't need it anymore
You should make a podcast yourself. @Daily Disciple
Throughout this video he keeps claiming to have the ultimate truth. He knows who you should and shouldn't love, he knows that rhett and link were never really Christians, he knows that God has a plan for all of us. None of these things seem to be apparent to me and often seem remarkably counterintuitive. I've read the Bible multiple times through in my life and none of it seems to be verifiable except a few historical events that have nothing to do with the actual message. I've looked into speeches from the greatest Christian minds I can find like John Lennox, William lane Craig, frank turek, and so on. They all seem so sure but everything they say has so many holes from my perspective. The Bible claims that followers of Christ have a certain ability to see the spiritual world more so than those who aren't saved, but isn't that the case with every worldview? If you start with an assumption and look at things though that lens, you're bound to affirm your previous thoughts most of the time and subconsciously ignore the things that don't fit. That's what are brains are best at, pattern recognition at all costs. I just want to know how you can all be so sure as to have your entire lives, identities, political stances, parenting methods, sexualities and so on be shaped by this book.
Sorry for the longcomment, I do hope someone will take the time to read it and respond because I am genuinely curious. I feel like there has to more that I'm just missing.
Hey..ill try to answer your question by God's grace. So That assurance and certainty they have comes from the holy spirit who enables them to understand things that may appear as mysteries to the ordinary man.
Also I understand that one may be "bias" or more inclined to align himself with his own worldview but that is why people like frank give answers that are logical, and points that can be objectively understood and convincing.. Also I mean it's a two way thing, you can't really understand a worldview without believing it to an extent. Sometimes judging a thing from outside it's circle may be as counterintuitive as judging it from within the circle.
So in essence that "thing" that is missing is the holy spirit.
@@luizeoko-j1759 I see. The Bible says that all you have to do in order to get the holy spirit is accept it and accept Jesus as your lord and savior. I've done both of those things at many an alter call but didn't receive anything except sore knees from kneeling for too long. Is there something I missed? Or is God just playing hard to get?
@@phoenixf2136 Yes you get the holy spirit when you get saved but it doesn't automatically mean that you and the holy spirit become best friends overnight. The relationship with God works like any other relationship..
I'll be honest with you it can take time, God works with us differently and individually and sometimes it can be frustrating to be seeking God's face desperately and He doesn't seem to be listening or interested in answering. But I assure you that He hears you and will answer you (and maybe already is). When I was going through this phase my christian friends told me to "enjoy the process", you can imagine how frustrating it must have felt but I later understood that I may have been expecting something I wasn't ready for. My advise is to continue studying the word of God and praying, talk with Him (it may seem like talking to yourself but that's okay) that's how you grow there's no shortcut, enjoy and treasure the moments you spend with God, be intentional with it and trust me you will begin to hear Him through the scripture and things around you.
@@phoenixf2136 there is also a difference between getting the holy spirit and baptism of the Holy Spirit.. Also the holy spirit is not an 'it' He is a person.
Nice cut
All I hear from them is that their deconstruction is from experiences with what people did and not necessarily issues with Christian doctrine, which may say they were never part of Christianity because of true faith or the Bible but rather because of some emotional experience.
I don’t think they understand what Christianity truly is. Or maybe they figured out what it truly is about and then they rejected it because it didn’t line up with what they thought it was about. They probably didn’t ever truly submit to God. They probably wanted God to submit to them.
The reason this stuff happens is because of a lack of preaching of the gospel fully and the spreading of seeker-friendly churches.
Bruh
God Bless for spreading the LOVE of JESUS, many prayers for the ministry, Peace In JESUS 🙂
The more you like others comments, reply, and comment yourself. The more this video will get out to people because of YT algorithm. The more people get this video the more people will find God.
I think you missed the point Rhett was trying to say. He wasn't saying the bible teaches "evil" things. He is stating where he grew up, (a rural setting) the people who were a part of the church were believing in potential harmful things. My local church is still avidly against same sex marriage. My Aunt and Unlce who go there have a gay son. If feels so alienating for not only a same sex couple but my aunt and uncle as well. They feel ashamed and don't speak up in church. To me that sounds harmful and not inclusive which is the opposite the Bible teaches. So why does the Bible teach loving ideas but certain groups of Christians spread harmful ideas? That's the real question.
The bible doesn't teach "inclusivity" in any way, where do you get that? God is not "inclusive" or "tolerant" of people who reject Him. He is incredibly patient and merciful, yes. We have ample time to repent and come back to Him after we sin. But people who refuse to repent, who prefer worldly pleasures over His presence, they don't get to spend eternity with Him. Why should they? He's only giving them what they wanted, after all.
Labeling something "harmful" doesn't actually mean it is. It's not harmful to call out sin and pray for people who reject their Creator. Maybe your aunt and uncle do feel shame over their son's open sin, but it's not their fault or their decision, and they and their church should pray together for the parents to stay strong and not affirm sin, and for your cousin to repent and return to Christ. There is no shame in loving and obeying God.
5:00 “I’m not hating on them….” "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
❤️✝️
Imagine living a life to tell people to keep believing in Santa Claus.
Imagine living a life of cognitive dissonance, telling people there's no purpose or meaning to the universe, no absolute truth, but you _should_ be moral and logical.
Using the Bible for anything but abstract conversation is an ultimate failure.
At the truth of all of these "deconstruction" stories is always, one similar theme;
"I want my will, not your will Jesus."
When Rhett is talking about harmful belief systems, I believe he is talking about the things that a lot of Christian’s and churches do that have no actual backing in the book they believe. There are many things like putting a political party above another even though the Bible would actually most likely be against both sides, or churches deciding that abortions should be illegal without actually having a religious backing. Just a couple example of harmful belief systems that are along side Christianity that you can actually separate.
...There absolutely is biblical backing for rejecting abortion. Scripture states more than once that we have a soul from the moment we exist in our mother's womb, and God KNEW us before He ever formed us. Ending a pregnancy is killing an innocent human being, full stop.
@@evage99 after some digging I can really see it being taken either way. There is an argument to be had that God knows the child would die so he doesn’t fit it into his greater plan. I’m personally not a Christian anymore but abortion I believe is more of a moral thing. If I was a female and was raped I wouldn’t want to have to look at that kid thinking of a rapist for the rest of my life. Or if I was a kid and a family member did that it would be much better to have the child gone I would think. But with other situations I can see the argument of when the life begins, and when it’s murder. I personally believe it’s when it develops a heart beat. Obviously the millions of sperm and lost eggs aren’t dead children but after the sperm touches the egg is where it gets touchy.
Very telling that your first point is that they “were never truly believers to begin with”.
This makes me so sad. I had been watching them on TH-cam and listening to their podcasts since I was like 7. I became a Christian at the same time that they announced leaving the faith. And ever since I have not been able to listen or watch them
Why u follow them. Did u even watch their full video and understand it?
Also how about these questions...
Hi I'm an atheist and I'd happily answer some questions for u🙂
1. Do I believe God does not exists....
Yes, I believe God was made up by men. They included their own poor morals too like owning slaves buying them from the nations around you. Or another is paying 50 sheckels to a women farther if your discovered to have r*ped her then u have to marry her. But then force her to marry her r*pist sounds like it is unfair evil punishment for her even though she done no wrong. This is 100% proof to me it's man made by bad men with poor morals back in the day. Or u could argue proof god is evil and has poor morals And not worth worshipping
2. Do you believe you need evidence something to exist or not. Additionally morals where do I get them from...
Yes course you need REAL evidence. My mum's real cause I see her and communicate I give her a hug. I dont sit alone in my room praying to the idea of a mum who never anwsers then assume she real. Even if I was told she's here or an old book says she's here i just need to believe makes this idea no more real. I'd admit the reality. I have no mum unless she's REAL.
morals:
I choose to be good cause I see good peoples behavior and how it impacts others. I have experienced bad people's behaviour and how it feels and their way of life is usually negative. So I choose the logically best one based on evidence. Be good get good see good. Be bad get bad. Doesn't always work but logically the best for me based on the evidence I've seen around me 🙂
3.What evidence do I have God's not real..
Look at question 1s anwser again. This anwseres this. ... Book made up + I hear nothing + healing miricals are not real too hence why no "healers" work in hospital on the "god healer ward". Again like a placebo effect people might believe they have been healed in their mind. But limbs don't grow back and cancer don't go away. You'd know real miricals you'd be able to see and test everytime it would work how the book claims it does. But it don't . + people claimed they used to be able to walk with god amongst them and theyd hear him and he'd order them to do things and jesus would perform miracle ect. I prayed a few times. Then came to the realisation I'm talking to myself no one is answering no matter how much I tried or believe or convinced myself. the bible claims he has spoken to people in the past. So why not now? Anyone could have made up false claims ina book. Many religions have before the bible was made up and even after. Some books claiming virgin births and miricals and stuff before and after the bible was around.
Let me ask you? Why do you deny all other religion books ? A book, thats how u define ur evidence right by having a book which is the word of ur god the same way other religions claim the same thing as evidence yet u clam theirs is false. Their books explain how the world was made just slightly differently to yours somtimes right? So why deny them ? Cause you happened to be raised and born in the right one? Or do u feel god? Cause ur brain is telling you to expect to feel something much like a placebo effect. The same way others can feel the presence of Allah or other gods and claim this is their proof. So ur proof is the same proof u use against other religion thus its not definite proof?
Also believe is not something you can choose. If I tell you to believe I'm holding a magic stone, maybe ud argue u trust me but it would be faulse belief. So u would eventually say I need to see it and it's power in work for undeniable evidence otherwise u will be sceptical no matter how much you convinced yourself you believe.
Another argument is if I told you I was married you would ask me to prove it and I would show you a passport or a certificate that I've been married to somebody. But these can be faked easy. The only proof other than" bro just believe" is if you saw and met my wife. But even then she could lie and claim she is even though she's pretending. Just like people claim to speak for a made up god or say" look at me I'm Jesus I'm back" but no-one believes them do they. The same way how Jesus could have lied and claimed he was a made up God's son the same way all the writers claim to be writing "his" word even though it could be made up. So only proof is meeting the magic maker and seeing action physically as undeniable proof. Not someone claiming to be. I mean actually seeing god and him creating and at work for proof.
Additionally if gods real If he don't show me himself this way he knows I'd believe. Its the only way I'd believe (he's all knowing remember) . So if he's real and not show himself then he's choosing for me and billions to become lost which is his fault and unfair and evil to burn me and billions forever for that. Choosing not to convince me the way he knows he should for me to believe. Or a more logical conclusion it's a made up book and he don't exist 🙂✌hope this make sense 🙂
I'm so thankfully for your ministry brother .
I hope this is funny as rhett makes it out to be.
This is just a great video... I love your videos so much.
'we are beggars trying to show other beggars where the Living Bread is. true
One should not base their belief and their faith in God based on outside source material. Look to God, listen for his voice, look to the words of His Son Jesus Christ and you will know where your heart lays. Everyone has trouble that's human and what makes imperfect and broken, but God and Jesus who died and was raised again to help rectify our brokenness makes us whole.
I find it funny that for me, all the "negative things" they label Christianity with, is what I dealt with before I was Christian. When I was a kid I basically hated myself to the point that I wouldn't even look in the mirror. When I went to the bathroom, I would turn the lights off and leave the door open a crack just to see a tiny bit. It wwasn't until I started to get into the faith that my mind set started to change.
I often try to understand where certain people are coming from. I'm not a perfect human who can understand the position of others flawlessly. But I try my best. And one thing I noticed is that most of the arguments which are used against groups of people work on your own group just as well, you only have to twist it a little. Humans are sadly pretty predictable when it comes to that stuff. And so far I have not seen one group, mindset or ideology which could make a person unbiased or openminded. There are certainly methods to reduce bias a little and there are also mindsets which try to open up while other mindsets are made to guard against opening up. But if we look as a whole, people often focus on one thing and might get pretty good at it while not noticing that they do the same thing or worse in a somewhat different place.
God judged u and call everyone imperfect and .ade us this way. Sounds like an abusive relationship....

My magical book is true! It says so right in my magical book!
They did a huge favour 🙂
I still watch them. I just have to be more discerning with their views.
I loved them before they came out with this. I quit watching them i dont want to support this rhetoric
If some random TH-camrs make you leave the faith then you didn't really have faith in the first place.
I believe I committed the unforgivable sin cause when I was watching a preacher video I felt something strange and I said I rebuke you satan in the name of Jesus Christ and now I feel scared cause like what if that was the Holy Spirit and Now I believe i rebuke it cause I thought it was satan bothering me by feeling upset about what the preacher was saying and now I’m sad and I was crying I’m a born again Christian and I never want to blasphemy the spirit and I end up crying cause I truly believe I committed the unforgivable sin like when I was a watch a video of a preacher rebuking people I I felt something and I said I rebuke you satan in the name of Jesus Christ and now I feel like I blasphemy the spirit like what if that was the Holy Spirit convicting me and now I feel like I’m guilty of it and I end up crying about it
I dont have time to read now, but I will say: If you are worrying about this, you probably haven't done it. If you did, you probably wouldn't care about God anymore.
If you’re concerned and crying, then you’re good. The Spirit is still with you. If you feel nothing but apathy and feel no remorse for sin…that’s a different story.
@@bojangles3298 oh, you can blaspheme The Spirit today!
The unforgivable sin is unbelief-God gives you a choice in this life only-after death there is none only hell
Blasphemers are people who know the truth and deny it. Satan is a blasphemer. You would have to be like Satan ot be a blasphemer.
Well said, thank you for making this video.
Guys be sure you r not Trusting your works for salvation. By believing you must turn from sin.
I am a big believer in turning from sin ,after you have believed. Live for Christ and serve our blessed creator.
But be not deceived in believing your salvation is not based on the finished work of Christ.
1.salvation= christ paid the final debt
2.discipleship= Christ's plan for us is that we live for him and prosper for his sake and for ours also.
PLEASE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !❤

You can't oppose dogma with logic, unfortunately.
Love how you brought this home! It’s all about Jesus! Amen ❤️

No true Scotsman fallacy!😂😂😂😂😂
💜💜💜
I have a few observations that might help. First saying people who have left the faith were never truly in the faith is a fallacy. Most people who leave faiths did not want to, but had to because they simply stopped believing and couldnt force themselves to believe. When you say "truth", for an increasing amount of people, you need to prove it. And not just point to a book because non believers obviously don't care what the book says. That isn't how we get to truth. So when you says we are fundamentally broken and all that, you need to be able to show it, not just point to a sentence in a book the non believers don't believe is true. We say that certain christian positions are harmful because they demonstrably lead to harmful outcomes. It can be proven. The part about we feel guilty when doing this IS because of our culture and societal beliefs and pressures. If it was some ingrained thing, cultures that do not have the same rules would likewise feel the same way as Christians and feel guilty, however they do not. If you want to say being homosexual, for example, is wrong, you need to show how it is wrong, or else you are just talking to the wind. I'm not saying all Christian's are bad people or even believe harmful things and I do not think Rhett and link are either. I'm just saying there are harmful beliefs within christianity because they can be shown to be harmful.
I pray the Lord softens the hearts of those who make it their mission to be detractors of the faith
You hardly talked about Rhett and Link at all.
Fantastic video. I was unfamiliar with this. I wonder what kind of palace modifications were constructed with the paycheck they received to broadcast their “deconstruction”
There isnt “weaseling” and if it is than you arent doin any better.
Does god have any glory?
Admit it. You don't even believe this either, but you're too invested in it to leave.
no that’s not how it works 🤣 once u ACTUALLY read the bible you understand why it’s true, you know the history. the world we live in is filled with evil. it’s getting worse every day. if u want to continue to live in ur sin and for YOU.. just admit it?

“If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Now is the time to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Obey His commands and repent of your sins because Jesus is coming back soon. Tomorrow isn’t promised.
And this is what Indoctrination does
Thank you for sharing the word of God, the world really needs more people like you. I hope I can grow up as brave as you to share on social media
