@LilaRossi_Officialroachqueen idk if you’re referring to Mathew 22:39 where it says “ and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself.” The idea in the Bible of loving ourselves is God not just assuming but knowing that we are self centered creature that love ourselves more than anything already. So the charge is to not be selfish in our love(which is natural for us) but to be selfless by putting others above us
This is so bad, the idea of God ever worshipping me has never in my 37 years of being on God's green earth ever crossed my mind, the guy needs to repent.
Agreed. Not even for a millisecond has this thought entered my mind. The people following this heretic need to have their eyes opened. Yet, we are told in scripture how things like this will happen.
I had the biggest “PAUUUUUUUUSSSEEEEEEEE” moment when he said “what if it didn’t stop God from worshipping you?” The idea of God worshipping me is sad and horrible. His son was the one that sacrificed himself, He made me and made everything?! WHY WOULD HE NEED TO WORSHIP ME?!
There’s nothing wrong with what he’s preaching when you take into account that he isn’t preaching for Jesus Christ, but for the government’s agenda of misleading the public.
And Spurgeon's quote fits perfectly here: "The time will come when instead of shepherds feeding sheep, they will have clowns entertaining the goats.” There is no better way to put it.
@@KaoXoni Here you go: Charles Spurgeon, The Gospel of the Kingdom: A Popular Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew (Baker Books, 2012), p. 252.
I see what your saying I will refine what your saying WORST thing we can notice those with the holy spirit and those who love and the BEST thing they will hear is this kind of nonsense. But your comment is 100% right !!!
I truly hope Jermell and his congregation turn from this folly and find the light and life of Christ. The they can worship a God who saves them, calls them to holiness, and who is actually real.
Wow. If my pastor said "maybe" and "what if" as much as this guy, I would think he's not sure of what he's talking about. I notice this guy speaks in a style, emphasizing certain words, as if what he's saying is incredibly profound. But when I think about what he says, it's mostly nonsense. I don't think it's satanism, but it may as well be. He's not actually worshiping satan, he's worshiping himself. But I don't think satan cares if we worship him, as long as we're not worshiping God.
do you believe that God leaves people to their own human nature when they try to achieve that *holiness* or does God offer his Divinity because we ourselves cannot live up to that level of holiness?
WOW an Anti-Christ, SHOCKING, didn't see that coming (joking), tonge in cheek keep your heads on a swivel, if we stay together even if we loose our heads literally we will rise together ❤️
Question: I’m a new Christian, so I’m still unsure about demonic influence in the world. This man speaks words straight from Satan though, so is he straight up possessed? Do demons whisper to people like this even if not possessed? Or is this just the depravity of man? Truly appreciate any insight anyone can provide! This is sickening no matter what the source.
Reading the title alone made my stomach turn. I hate the fact that this idea was even introduced to my mind. I don’t even deserve any type of worship from animals let alone from the magnificent BEING that created the heavens and universe so beautifully and effortlessly. He alone deserves worship. No one else.
Amen, I don't even want compliments or it would make me prideful, I'd rather take insults all my life and a simple "Good job my son" from God would make it all worth it. A simple smile from God would make everything worth it, He doesn't even have to say anything. The idea that this man thinks that God worships us makes me sick. No one should worship me, let alone The Creator of The Universe.
Yep, I felt exactly the same, sick to my stomach, especially bc I have a very vivid imagination. It also tells me at gut level how it's such an incredibly evil idea, bc that's the way evil things make you feel, they make you wish you never had known such things existed. Whoever thinks he deserves worship has become blinded to his sins, however "minor" his sins are, and being blind to our sin is itself a great evil, as it means we're actually unrepentant towards God. This is absolute blasphemy and breaks the first and second of all commandments.
As an ex witch and now born again believer. Becoming a new creation makes you totally repelled by our former way of life. We can't even relate to it at all because it doesn't fit us anymore.
“The chief danger of the 20th century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.” - William Booth
Christianity never had the holy spirit and never actually followed Christ, so effectively he wasn't saying much that wasn't already the case. The words themselves are reasonable though.
My husband and I watched this during lunch, shaking our heads. But at the end, my husband looked at me and said, “Wow, Pastor Mike really wrapped that up in a loving way. He really has a heart for people.” I agree. Thank you, Pastor Mike, for doing the Lord’s work in love and truth.
Hi Mike. I'm Jewish but watch your videos "religiously" as you help me to have hope that the entire Christian world has not lost it's entire mind. Merci.
Yes there are some of us who adore GOD ,,I DONT EVEN SAY IM A CHRISTIAN,because they have messes that up. I just say ,I just try ever second to walk Christ like, glad you still have hope ,Mike is great.
I was going down a path similar to this. My beliefs were very new age. I had even gotten to the point that during a discussion with my best friend about the Bible I actually told him that the Bible isn't worth the paper it's written on, it's only use to me is as T.P. It wasn't until I moved away from all the negative sinful people in my life that I started to see the error in ways. My girlfriend (now wife) found a church and asked me to go once a month to take care of the kids while she volunteered. I reluctantly agreed. Over the next few years I went through the motions but slowly started feeling moved. I started going more and more. I started attending Bible study on a weekly basis. It was the pastor at that church that recommended I watch this TH-cam page. Finally after a number of years, I publicly gave my life to Christ and was baptized.
There are two options: Either people will hear the Word of God and respond positively, and be saved, OR they will reject the Word of God and be condemned. Option 1: Jesus said "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." (John 5: 24). Option 2: Jesus also said "There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day." (John 12: 48). I'm glad you've chosen well.
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons..."
That sounds like some things I've learned about the Catholic Church. As barbed as that is to say, I say it because I want to point out, christian Theogians have argued endlessly for centuries, there are far too many denominations for some people's tastes. And I'm supposed to just take your perspective as the correct one?! Do you have any idea how many people I've heard repeat this exact scripture verse but coming from radically different perspectives?!
Sounds like you're pawning your responsibility which is upon yourself to seek truth. If you know the Word, you know when you're hearing doctrines of demons. You don't need a priest or anyone to tell you. You as a Christian will have the same Spirit which inspired the writing of this verse. @chillinchum
@@chillinchum The catholic church has just as much disagreement between themselves as we do-that is, if not more. If you look for it you'll find it. The reason why is because the catholic church hasn't made any certain conclusions on Scripture aside from very few passages, and these can be understood by any average person.
@@chelseabarker2250 Fine, let's humor you. I have received inspiration, in addition to reasoning, that I cannot trust any scripture to be the word of god, or any supposed prophet to be a speaker of god's unalienable word, his gospel. From thier very foundations. So, is there a way to provide some basis as to why I can trust the bible as the gospel, without using it at all as evidence for itself? as it is the entire book itself that is in doubt to me.
What’s weird about it??? In order for each relationship to exits something has to be mutual!!!! He does love you? He does want the best for us right? You’re basically saying GOD can’t possibly be happy and rejoice that his children love him enough to want to do better. Stop thinking so small minded and pessimistic. Not everything has to be evil in this world. Are you getting up everyday and preaching to people? Do you care enough to own a church to help guide people? If the message isn’t for you simply exit. No need for twisting another persons word so you can make something out of it. ❤️
I know my heart and my actions, i don't want to meet a person, let alone a god that finds me worthy of worship. It is the wonder of the universe that God even acknowledges me, let alone saves me
Instantly as soon as I heard the first little snippet the Holy Ghost started to grieved; to even hear such disgusting and degrading things being said about my Father who not only created me this earth and everything on it outside of it in it both seen and unseen known and unknown by another piece of nothing (because I know that I am absolutely nothing without God) it hurts so deeply so sorrowfully i can’t listen to the rest I’m only 3mins 22sec in and honestly it’s 3mins 22sec too long I love you all and please pray for all of those lost sheep😢
I choked when he said, "Worship has become too God-focused". The word "worship" in Hebrew literally means to bow before a ruler. When we worship God, it is ALL focused on Him!!! One of my favorite scriptures is Psalms 29:2, "Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness." It is our obligation to give Him worship, and it's not oppressive because He's simply so worthy of it!
"Main character syndrome" I've never heard this term before but I think it's a great way to describe what I've been thinking over the past few years, especially in the church. The usual question people ask when reading the Bible is "Yes, but how does this apply to ME?" The truth is, we are nothing more than bit actors while Christ has top billing.
@@stevej71393 Wow, never thought of that before. I have heard people describe the Bible as a rule book and that always bothered me but I couldn't find where they went wrong to get there. But if everything is asking how it applies to me, then everything does turn into a rule and lose it's message. In another video Mike mentions how the Sabbath was meant to be a blessing but because of how it was enforced as a rule it became a burden. I wonder if the "Yes, but how does this apply to ME?" question is how that happened. Thoughts?
@@stevej71393 I think it was a term to criticize how the current movies have been written, to make them more "inclusive" and make the atypical feel "seen"
I went to Undergrad with Jermell. He is a phenomenal human being. He is part of the reason I became a Christian and was lead to Christ. Ive used his cologne, cut his hair, slept on his dorm floor, and ran from the police with him😂😂😂😂😂. He is great. He had just an admiration for God and such a solid theology in college, but this is a change. Respectfully, I’m not sure what happened to his theology. I love my brother, and I’m praying for him.
I think they're willfully deceiving and are knowingly being deceived. I don't even believe they're deluded at this point. They know what they're doing imo
Dawkins is mid. He is a pawn of Satan. It is because man wants to hear things that "tickle their ears" 2Tim4:3. It's a failure of or school system teaching evolution as fact instead of looking at God's word for creation.
Oh my goodness! I have almost never called someone a heretic, but this person is frightening in his heresy. I am enjoying YOUR teachings, it sounds honest and Christ following. I pray that listening to you helps me worship and follow God better. Blessings.
I’ve never seen such a clear depiction of Romans 1. Someone who worshipped the creation more than the creator, someone who is a lover of them selves and who has been consequently turned over to their own way! Wow!
11 minutes in and I subscribed. I watched the whole thing. You have a way of explaining that is shown with compassion and grace while also calling out truth. This is a great way to explain the progressive ideology of self-worship and how problematic it is when people pick things out of the bible to fit their own narrative, rather than what it is actually about.
It is a testament to the true mercy of our God that the building they are in does not collapse and kill everyone inside. Praise to Him for his patience and mercy.
It's in Bellevue Washington. It's a town that's big tech.....I doubt that those young people who live there have knowledge of the scriptures. Pity they are being deceived.Really sad!
I attend a very small church. About a month ago, our pastor was not able to attend and asked a brother outside of our church (not a pastor) to speak in his place. This brother said 3x in his message that "God worships us." This grieved me tremendously and so I confronted our pastor about this and encouraged him to speak to this brother, ask him what he meant when he said that and to gently "set him straight." The church in America is in so much trouble...
What did he mean by that and where did he get it from? Is this a US Christianity distortion or do people in other countries say something similar. I've never heard it in the UK and I have Christian friends with far more (theologically) liberal views than mine.
@@aleithiatoews6452 I was waiting for a deacon to call him out but it did not happen. In hindsight yes, I should have called him out. My pastor was going to talk to the speaker's pastor about this.
@@gareth2736 I think he was trying to emphasize how much God loves us but obviously went way too far. The statement "God worships us" is blasphemous and should never come out of a believers mouth.
No it's not lmao. We are, and I do stress this, _absolutely_ nowhere close to societal collapse. Lmao. Civilization has, quite literally, never been better. freedom is up, prosperity is up, quality of life is up, war is down (yes even with Ukraine & Gaza there is less war than ever,) lifespans are up, violent crime is down, and there are multiple redundant layers of protection globally to insure against any kind of major catastrophe. Do you have any idea how miserable life was, even for the kings & conquerors of the past? How few technological, mechanical, & computational protections their societies had, Compared to now? I guess you just overlook all that when you're hoping the world ends any day now lmao
Mike, you are at your best when you are breaking down errors while maintaining a voice full of care, compassion, AND correction for those who might be (or have been) affected by this kind of grave error. It would be so easy to dismiss church leaders or the ideas they express with scoffing or laughter. I appreciate your completeness and handling these topics. It serves as an example to all of us in your preparation (by knowing the Bible) and presentation (by knowing your potential listeners) God Bless you deeply for your handling these serious deviations from His word and character.
Yes. I felt exactly the same. The devil wishes so bad to be worshiped and takes so many people he can in his narcissistic trip. He even tried it with Jesus Himself!. He began already in Eden with his creepy "preaching". "What if...?". Those words are his signature. He's still showing up, again and again, but is already defeated. Glory to the Lamb and to God Almighty! Have a blessed day.
I watched this from beginning to end. This was so informative and you did a great job of revealing the lies of the enemy. You did this with so much grace and took time to break down Jerrnell's perspective rather than just declaring it all lies (even though it is). I'm just starting to learn about progressive "theology" because the other day I had someone approach me and ask me if I know about the "mother god". I had a discussion with them and backed up all my statements with scripture. I noticed that every time they made a statement, they would say things like "In my opinion, this scripture means..." instead of just stating what the scripture is actually saying. Everything they were saying was a misinterpretation of scripture. But we must understand how they are misinterpreting the scripture, so we know how to correct them when they misinterpret the scripture. That's why I appreciate your video so much, I learned a lot! God is coming back very soon. His time is not our time, he sees and knows our end. I just pray that everyone can give their life to God before it is too late.
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." - 2 Timothy 4:3
I chuckled a little and then felt sorry for the man because what could we have or be that would compel any being to have an inclination to worship us? It is just so absurd to be almost laughable if there weren't sobering consequences for leading a flock astray.
Worship isn’t what changes us. Sanctification by the Holy Spirit and obedience is what changes us! Worship is not a mirror that bounces back anything to us! What in the world. Mike - love you and SO glad you’ve done this video. I’m only 11 mins in… but I can’t watch another second of this guy. KEEP GOING, Mike!!!! ❤😢👏🏽
It’s one thing to recognize how mind-blowing merciful and good God is in that He desires for His life to be in us. I think to Saint Athanasius’ (often misunderstood) quote of “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God”. However, ‘become’ can better be understood as _like_ God or to participate in God’s Divine Life. That’s what Christ calls us to. In a way, I get it. I think if people understood the immensity of that gift, myself included, they would treat themselves truly as temples of the Holy Spirit. How wonderful God has made us. But that’s a very fine line to walk. At what point do we go from immense gratitude (worship of God) to delusional self-importance (worship of self) like we are the source of any of it?
@@mutestingrayJesus Christ did make it possible for us to become like God. Joint-heirs with Christ and all the blessings of heaven for those that love God. The scriptures are crystal clear about this. I do believe in God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ who want us to become like them. Only Satan thinks in terms of self worship and power. Through Jesus Christ we can have Eternal Life, which is the life our Father in heaven lives. What father does not want their children to mature and succeed and reach their full potential? Such is the love of the Father that he has made this possible through our Saviour Jesus Christ. This is our destiny as children of our Heavenly Father. John 20:17 “… I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”
@@Crikey420 you are speaking like the people formerly known as Mormons. They strive to be exalted to Godhood themselves. Their God was once a man like us and became a God like His God before Him. The charge that we should be "like" God in scripture is not the like of becoming the same as God in the nature of His divinity but being like Him (perfect) in His morality and loving character. Matthew 5:48 We can't accomplish that but it should be the goal.
Great message! Made me think of Acts 12:21-23: "And on an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them. And the people kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died." Very dangerous territory to even speak in such ways.
Wow. This is horrific and so incredibly evil. Lord Jesus, open their eyes to see and ears to hear. Thanks, Pastor Mike, for preaching the truth. This man saying such blasphemous stuff is so delusional. It is very sad.
@msinie: Agree, that God can open the eyes of the members of this church. Humans have always been attracted to, or vulnerable to, what makes them feel good. Humans have favored the easy path. Job is an example of the path all Christians should be on. Our beliefs and actions should be rooted in scripture.
Right? It's like every bit of blasphemy, woke-ism & even thoughts we've not even thought to think all in one speech. Pastor Winger could take down every warning he's ever issued and simply show THIS instead.
This sums it all up: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have [b]their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
I'm really not trying to be offensive... but I don't understand why everyone is so disappointed in the message he is teaching/preaching when he's of the LGBTQ community. I'm sure there are a lot of things that he teaches that will not align with biblical doctrine.
@@dandelion1239 It's a Dragonball Z reference Pastor Mike was making as a joke. The main characters from the series are warriors from an alien race called Saiyans, and when they get extra powered up their hair changes color and they're called Super Saiyan. It's like leveling up to a stronger, more exaggerated version of themselves so they can do more damage in battle. That's the simplest way I know to explain it. 😁
Not sure, if the video was ended too soon, but the clapping at the end, that sounded like there were maybe five people, was a little comforting. I was left with a hope, that the "church" was almost empty, when he held his self-worship-speech.
I almost quit at the 28 minute mark, the blasphemy was just too much. But I’m glad I watched the entire video because of how you biblically refuted his claims and spoke the truth, the love & the amazing holiness of our great God. Thank you for your teaching of truth & your compassion for all who fall short of the glory of God.
I agree. This is definitely an area where Mike excels. I'm thankful Mike is on YT because of his ability to handle these types of teachings with patience & grace. Many of us wouldn't be able to handle our composure like Mike does.
I heard him ask the audience to question out loud if God worshiped them and I felt every fiber of my being scream “No!!!” this shows how important it is to be in God’s word and know what it actually says so you know how to respond when someone likes this twists it. Just as Jesus knew the scriptures and was able to combat the lies of satan in the desert. Know the Bible, know God’s truth cause his is the only truth that is really true and that should matter to us as Christians. We are to deny ourselves (including “our truth”) and follow him. We are to focus on God not ourselves. “Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9:23 CSB “Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34 CSB “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” Matthew 16:24 CSB “Jesus turned and told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns but human concerns.” Matthew 16:23 CSB
My 10yr old son was overhearing, and even he was shocked. The thought of the poor people who are being taught this and are going to believe this is heartbreaking.
@donna3675 I'm right there with you. The exclamations of approval from the audience angered me also. Then I remember how deluded I was from faith teachers & pray that God gives me discernment.
If you are leading people, you need to be doing it Biblically, and be held accountable for your words. People are relying on the head of a Church for the truth. Wisdom comes from accepting that what you are teaching is wrong. Even Mike Winger is held accountable for what he teaches.
You can get consumed in judging people so much that you forget that there are obligations outside of that. The internet is too big to judge every false (insert title). I always wondered how others like Mike go about coming up with such a video when brainstorming. Do they go through video after video seeing who has false teachings and who doesn't. It seems like a lot of effort. Effort that could be better spent on something else. I know in my comment I said this was needed, but the more I think about it...was it really? Any baby in Christ can see this blasphemy from a mile away. I would assume that if you can't it is because you don't want to. 🤷
Amen my brother in Christ, His love is more than enough. Anyone's worship is not needed, why would our perfect God even worship sinner (that have been changed) like us.
I detest preachers saying, “repeat after me”. I refuse to speak something when I don’t know what I’m about to say. I wish they would all just stop this practice.
I agree. I have yet to find one that doesn't do that at some point or another. All words should be your own thoughts out of your own will to speak. Even if someone has decided to become a Christian. You can teach and explain to them what is required. But, it should end there, and the person should speak and say whatever comes from their own heart. Then, they should be encouraged to read the bible cover to cover and study to find their own language and understanding. Leading people to say another person's words is dangerous, in my opinion.
Wow Mike. I am so blown away by your self control. You are so gracious in your response to this person. I have to admit, I'm with the Sons of Thunder here....
To the generation that can only see themselves via selfies, reflections in thumbs up, likes, cubicled singularity that is without accountability or responsibility.... Parents, teach your children today! Show them God's plans unfolding and worship in the beauty of Holiness, Divine, eternal immortal all wise God
The preaching is entertaining, using motivational music in background, using christian terms, blinding and misleading people, introducing unbiblical truth” GOD worshipping me” doctrine of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). 🙏Praying that GOD will open the heart of this speaker and his listener to search the Scripture that testify about the LORD Jesus Christ, who give eternal life to those who come to HIM. John 5:39-40, humbly repent their sins and believe the LORD Jesus Christ. By GOD’s grace Wake up!, blinded, Wounded and dying soul! Thank you Bro. Mike for this video. GOD bless you more!🙏❤️📖
I have tagged Jermell on his Facebook page. I haven't spoken to him in years but have known him for about 15 years. Thank you for unpacking this blasphemous message and not turning off the comments on your post unlike the original "message from the pit."
Mike I pray for you because of what God has blessed you to do in the world we are now in. He has given you the gift to listen to and teach the wrong in the many leading the masses away from sound doctrine. I can’t even finish this because my spirit is just churning inside me to have nothing to do with this man. Lord protect Mike!!
Satanism is not the direct worship of satan... Satanism is the exaltation and worship of SELF. If anyone is struggling to understand WHY the vast majority of these woke ideals are actually evil at their core (though many have a thin candy-coated shell presenting as 'virtuous')-- Congratulations cuz you are in the right place! This video is a master class on precisely why these ideals are evil at their core. Self-exaltation is the sin of pride for which lucifer was cast out of heaven. I have often wondered what he could have said to those other angels to convince them to follow him, to fall... (and since we are in the space of what-if's...🤭) I wonder if, perhaps, it sounded quite similar to this man's message of self worship?
15:54 words just have so much power. Imagine the grin on Satan’s face, hearing a group of people claiming to be a church saying “what if God worships me?”
Amos 6:5-7 NLT [5] You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David. [6] You drink wine by the bowlful and perfume yourselves with fragrant lotions. You care nothing about the ruin of your nation. [7] Therefore, you will be the first to be led away as captives. Suddenly, all your parties will end. Hearing his song brought this passage to mind...
God almighty became flesh and dwelt among us to teach us face to face then was crucified- he felt all the pain and taken upon His own shoulders took our sin and shame and death- this also makes Him worthy to worship Him. Being creator, savior, redeemer, deliverer- all in one. This makes Him worthy
I want to apologize for any nasty things i have said to you Mike Winger. Going from atheist to pagan and after watching you for awhile and reading the bible i can proudly say i believe now. Thanks for being a part in my soul being saved.
Mike, I’ve always known you to be funny and entertaining while also being one of the most gracious and biblically sound teachers of our day.. but you taking the guitar off the wall while he was singing was just the best
I just found you yesterday and I have to say that I love your breakdown and interpretation of scripture. It is so refreshing to see someone with a social media presence and following such as yours, speaking truth so boldly and courageously. God Bless you.
These false believers tend to hate real Christians. I love all my coworkers, but one of them who has similar theology (maybe not as far as self-deification yet) has this weird tendency to go out of her way to bash biblical Christians or complain about biblical doctrines.
I want to know how people listen to him. His speech patterns are grating and what he says is shocking! Pastor Mike, I've recently become convinced I have been a false convert and am seeking the Lord like never before.
If you think you're a false convert, turn your life over to God right this second and then you won't have to worry about it anymore! Problem solved! Sometimes the best solution, is the simplest solution.
When we don't read our Bible, pray, become disciples in a Bible believing church, lack discernment we will fall for false teachings like Jermell. I think this is what's happening in the video.
Cry out to God sincerely , repent and confess Romans 10:9-10. He will answer. Get a good study bible (NIV version is pretty good). Start reading John and go the other epistles. Then start reading the rest of the New Testament. He will step in and speak to your heart. It is not by works that you are saved it is simply by faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Keep encouraged. God loves you.
Worshiping Satan and rejecting God is one thing, but I find it particularly evil when you want to make God a worshiper of mankind. It's like...just be an atheist at this point bro.
It's a new flavor of Gnosticism. This is the occult mixing with the church. The Jesus vs God narrative. The higher consciousness. The experience of god and becoming apart of god. James Lindsay did some videos show the same language being used in woke literature as in old occult literature.Gnostics, Hermetics, Aryans and a few other such groups. Tic history did a similar video but with citations on all of his sources pulling full paragraphs from the books to show the connection. This Jernell guy uses that same wording for things.
@@Window4503 I was thinking gnostic as God's actions are attributed to the demiurge while Jesus's teaching is twisted into this "overcome the demiurge's world" type message. But this is the first time I have heard of this Marcionism. Care to briefly explain it?

@@nickfaire no he's not, he wants a fearful slave. But he is arrogant and jealous one of the divine his throne is not the only one. Soon Christianity will have to answer for trying to kill the other paths of spirituality.
@nickfaire I do not think that "God is all love" is stating that his only actions are love; Rather that all the love in the world is God, as God is the creator of all. Certainly in old testament, God delivered his wrath where he felt was necessary.
@@RyanSmith-xr4pz the more I learn of this thing you worship the more i hate it. Your faith leads to harming living people to see their souls snuffed out.

@@RyanSmith-xr4pz 0. If God harms humans, they are not all love. 1. The God(s) from the old testament and the christian God are not the same. For the whole history of the Orthodox and Catholic church we understood that perfectly and knew that the old testament in christianity was meant to be understood as a mixture of divine revelation to the jews ans their human cultural vision of the world they lived in. It wasn't until the protestants created the self-contradictory dogma of Sola Scriptura that there was people who started to believe non-sensical literal interpretations of the Bible. One of the main problems with Islam from a theological point of view is that they think their book is the literal word of God, and hence their faith tends to contradict reason, science, etc. Protestants just made a cheap version of this. If you believe in a God that harm humans, you don't believe in an all love God. If you have fear of God instead of love towards him, even less can you consider them to beall love. With all due respect, cope with it.
I listing while I take care of my elderly mother in law the hole time I was like What? Like we say in the hood it's bad in these streets. I pray for those who struggle with sin specially mine that always knocking on my door,but if it wasn't for Jesus snatching out of the fire from false doctrine, I'm just grateful for his loving kindness for people like you and fighting for the faith and pirate show that I started truly to the scripture and I'm free thank you
WOW. Thank you for taking the time to do this, it made me cringe in many places. I thank the Lord for bringing me out of false teachings and will be praying for eyes to be opened and hearts to be changed. He alone is worthy!
Haven’t even finished the video and man that first part is just wild! I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. - 2 Timothy 4:1-5

The thought of God worshipping me is disgusting

Thought experiment: Imagine God worshiping Nancy Pelosi.....nope doesn't work.
@LilaRossi_Officialroachqueen idk if you’re referring to Mathew 22:39 where it says “ and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself.” The idea in the Bible of loving ourselves is God not just assuming but knowing that we are self centered creature that love ourselves more than anything already. So the charge is to not be selfish in our love(which is natural for us) but to be selfless by putting others above us

I truly hope Jermell and his congregation turn from this folly and find the light and life of Christ.
The they can worship a God who saves them, calls them to holiness, and who is actually real.
Wow. If my pastor said "maybe" and "what if" as much as this guy, I would think he's not sure of what he's talking about.
I notice this guy speaks in a style, emphasizing certain words, as if what he's saying is incredibly profound. But when I think about what he says, it's mostly nonsense.
I don't think it's satanism, but it may as well be. He's not actually worshiping satan, he's worshiping himself. But I don't think satan cares if we worship him, as long as we're not worshiping God.
do you believe that God leaves people to their own human nature when they try to achieve that *holiness* or does God offer his Divinity because we ourselves cannot live up to that level of holiness?
WOW an Anti-Christ, SHOCKING, didn't see that coming (joking), tonge in cheek keep your heads on a swivel, if we stay together even if we loose our heads literally we will rise together ❤️
Question: I’m a new Christian, so I’m still unsure about demonic influence in the world. This man speaks words straight from Satan though, so is he straight up possessed? Do demons whisper to people like this even if not possessed? Or is this just the depravity of man?
Truly appreciate any insight anyone can provide! This is sickening no matter what the source.
Mike, I highly recommend listening to James Lindsay's videos about the gnostic virus, I think you'd find the info very useful
Reading the title alone made my stomach turn. I hate the fact that this idea was even introduced to my mind. I don’t even deserve any type of worship from animals let alone from the magnificent BEING that created the heavens and universe so beautifully and effortlessly. He alone deserves worship. No one else.
Amen, I don't even want compliments or it would make me prideful, I'd rather take insults all my life and a simple "Good job my son" from God would make it all worth it. A simple smile from God would make everything worth it, He doesn't even have to say anything. The idea that this man thinks that God worships us makes me sick. No one should worship me, let alone The Creator of The Universe.
Yep, I felt exactly the same, sick to my stomach, especially bc I have a very vivid imagination. It also tells me at gut level how it's such an incredibly evil idea, bc that's the way evil things make you feel, they make you wish you never had known such things existed. Whoever thinks he deserves worship has become blinded to his sins, however "minor" his sins are, and being blind to our sin is itself a great evil, as it means we're actually unrepentant towards God. This is absolute blasphemy and breaks the first and second of all commandments.
I couldn't even watch had to turn it off. As a former witch the triple Goddess is the head. Jesus saved me. This makes me physically sick.

Christianity never had the holy spirit and never actually followed Christ, so effectively he wasn't saying much that wasn't already the case. The words themselves are reasonable though.

I was going down a path similar to this. My beliefs were very new age. I had even gotten to the point that during a discussion with my best friend about the Bible I actually told him that the Bible isn't worth the paper it's written on, it's only use to me is as T.P.
It wasn't until I moved away from all the negative sinful people in my life that I started to see the error in ways. My girlfriend (now wife) found a church and asked me to go once a month to take care of the kids while she volunteered. I reluctantly agreed. Over the next few years I went through the motions but slowly started feeling moved. I started going more and more. I started attending Bible study on a weekly basis. It was the pastor at that church that recommended I watch this TH-cam page. Finally after a number of years, I publicly gave my life to Christ and was baptized.
There are two options: Either people will hear the Word of God and respond positively, and be saved, OR they will reject the Word of God and be condemned.
Option 1: Jesus said "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." (John 5: 24).
Option 2: Jesus also said "There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day." (John 12: 48).
I'm glad you've chosen well.

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons..."
That sounds like some things I've learned about the Catholic Church.
As barbed as that is to say, I say it because I want to point out, christian Theogians have argued endlessly for centuries, there are far too many denominations for some people's tastes.
And I'm supposed to just take your perspective as the correct one?!
Do you have any idea how many people I've heard repeat this exact scripture verse but coming from radically different perspectives?!
Sounds like you're pawning your responsibility which is upon yourself to seek truth. If you know the Word, you know when you're hearing doctrines of demons. You don't need a priest or anyone to tell you. You as a Christian will have the same Spirit which inspired the writing of this verse. @chillinchum
Notice the lack of authority. All the what ifs, the opposite of how the jews said Jesus spoke.
@@chillinchum The catholic church has just as much disagreement between themselves as we do-that is, if not more. If you look for it you'll find it. The reason why is because the catholic church hasn't made any certain conclusions on Scripture aside from very few passages, and these can be understood by any average person.
@@chelseabarker2250 Fine, let's humor you.
I have received inspiration, in addition to reasoning, that I cannot trust any scripture to be the word of god, or any supposed prophet to be a speaker of god's unalienable word, his gospel. From thier very foundations.
So, is there a way to provide some basis as to why I can trust the bible as the gospel, without using it at all as evidence for itself? as it is the entire book itself that is in doubt to me.
Hearing him say “what if God worships you” made my stomach turn. 🙅🏽♀️

What’s weird about it??? In order for each relationship to exits something has to be mutual!!!! He does love you? He does want the best for us right? You’re basically saying GOD can’t possibly be happy and rejoice that his children love him enough to want to do better. Stop thinking so small minded and pessimistic. Not everything has to be evil in this world. Are you getting up everyday and preaching to people? Do you care enough to own a church to help guide people? If the message isn’t for you simply exit.

I choked when he said, "Worship has become too God-focused". The word "worship" in Hebrew literally means to bow before a ruler. When we worship God, it is ALL focused on Him!!! One of my favorite scriptures is Psalms 29:2, "Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness." It is our obligation to give Him worship, and it's not oppressive because He's simply so worthy of it!

"Main character syndrome" I've never heard this term before but I think it's a great way to describe what I've been thinking over the past few years, especially in the church. The usual question people ask when reading the Bible is "Yes, but how does this apply to ME?" The truth is, we are nothing more than bit actors while Christ has top billing.
@@stevej71393 Wow, never thought of that before. I have heard people describe the Bible as a rule book and that always bothered me but I couldn't find where they went wrong to get there. But if everything is asking how it applies to me, then everything does turn into a rule and lose it's message.
In another video Mike mentions how the Sabbath was meant to be a blessing but because of how it was enforced as a rule it became a burden. I wonder if the "Yes, but how does this apply to ME?" question is how that happened. Thoughts?

I attend a very small church. About a month ago, our pastor was not able to attend and asked a brother outside of our church (not a pastor) to speak in his place. This brother said 3x in his message that "God worships us." This grieved me tremendously and so I confronted our pastor about this and encouraged him to speak to this brother, ask him what he meant when he said that and to gently "set him straight."

I watched this from beginning to end. This was so informative and you did a great job of revealing the lies of the enemy. You did this with so much grace and took time to break down Jerrnell's perspective rather than just declaring it all lies (even though it is).
I'm just starting to learn about progressive "theology" because the other day I had someone approach me and ask me if I know about the "mother god". I had a discussion with them and backed up all my statements with scripture. I noticed that every time they made a statement, they would say things like "In my opinion, this scripture means..." instead of just stating what the scripture is actually saying. Everything they were saying was a misinterpretation of scripture. But we must understand how they are misinterpreting the scripture, so we know how to correct them when they misinterpret the scripture. That's why I appreciate your video so much, I learned a lot!

It’s one thing to recognize how mind-blowing merciful and good God is in that He desires for His life to be in us. I think to Saint Athanasius’ (often misunderstood) quote of “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God”. However, ‘become’ can better be understood as _like_ God or to participate in God’s Divine Life. That’s what Christ calls us to.
In a way, I get it. I think if people understood the immensity of that gift, myself included, they would treat themselves truly as temples of the Holy Spirit. How wonderful God has made us.
But that’s a very fine line to walk. At what point do we go from immense gratitude (worship of God) to delusional self-importance (worship of self) like we are the source of any of it?
@@mutestingrayJesus Christ did make it possible for us to become like God. Joint-heirs with Christ and all the blessings of heaven for those that love God. The scriptures are crystal clear about this. I do believe in God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ who want us to become like them. Only Satan thinks in terms of self worship and power. Through Jesus Christ we can have Eternal Life, which is the life our Father in heaven lives. What father does not want their children to mature and succeed and reach their full potential? Such is the love of the Father that he has made this possible through our Saviour Jesus Christ. This is our destiny as children of our Heavenly Father. John 20:17 “… I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”
@@Crikey420 you are speaking like the people formerly known as Mormons. They strive to be exalted to Godhood themselves. Their God was once a man like us and became a God like His God before Him. The charge that we should be "like" God in scripture is not the like of becoming the same as God in the nature of His divinity but being like Him (perfect) in His morality and loving character. Matthew 5:48 We can't accomplish that but it should be the goal.
Great message! Made me think of Acts 12:21-23: "And on an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them. And the people kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died." Very dangerous territory to even speak in such ways.
I thank God that He protects me through knowledge. I pray God punishes him to repentance. He is on a dangerous journey.
The devil always has something.
Wow. This is horrific and so incredibly evil. Lord Jesus, open their eyes to see and ears to hear. Thanks, Pastor Mike, for preaching the truth. This man saying such blasphemous stuff is so delusional. It is very sad.
@msinie: Agree, that God can open the eyes of the members of this church.
Humans have always been attracted to, or vulnerable to, what makes them feel good.
Humans have favored the easy path.
Job is an example of the path all Christians should be on.
Our beliefs and actions should be rooted in scripture.
Right? It's like every bit of blasphemy, woke-ism & even thoughts we've not even thought to think all in one speech. Pastor Winger could take down every warning he's ever issued and simply show THIS instead.
This sums it all up: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have [b]their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Naming a sermon “what if” seems right out of Satan’s playbook. “Did God really say?”
thats what the satanists do in the tv show "evil" to convert people to do evil
Said it perfectly
_What if..._ is also the way people imagine stuff-and this whole sermon is pure delusion.
What on earth is this heresy? if God worships us, then we are all in big trouble.
Then his "god" is an idolatrous being. Narcissistic self-worship. This is Thelemic Ordo Templi Orientis Narcissistic self-worship. Utter blasphemy!
Jernel is lost and needs our prayers. HE worships his father the devil.
My advice to Jernel is 1. REPENT!!! and 2. Avoid going out during electrical storms⚡️⚡️⚡️
I'm really not trying to be offensive... but I don't understand why everyone is so disappointed in the message he is teaching/preaching when he's of the LGBTQ community. I'm sure there are a lot of things that he teaches that will not align with biblical doctrine.
I like how Pr Mike said this is Satanism in its final form! Super Saiyan Satanism! 😂
Nah, that'd be Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan God Satanism. 😂
(we've moved so far beyond Super Saiyan now, it's crazy.)
I was going to say the same thing. Lol.
@@Snow-Willow I was thinking more along the lines of Mastered Ultra Instinct Satanism, but that works too XD.
What is Saiyan satanism? I haven’t heard that term before.
@@dandelion1239 It's a Dragonball Z reference Pastor Mike was making as a joke. The main characters from the series are warriors from an alien race called Saiyans, and when they get extra powered up their hair changes color and they're called Super Saiyan. It's like leveling up to a stronger, more exaggerated version of themselves so they can do more damage in battle. That's the simplest way I know to explain it. 😁
Not sure, if the video was ended too soon, but the clapping at the end, that sounded like there were maybe five people, was a little comforting. I was left with a hope, that the "church" was almost empty, when he held his self-worship-speech.
This is what it all has led up to. And the people in the crowd eating this up with “wows” and “amens”…
This is it, folks.
It's Bellevue. If you've ever been there you wouldn't be surprised. Lot of young techie people.
Literally made me sick to my stomach.
Me too. And I could not watch all of it.
Yes. I did not expect to feel it as much as I did. Believing that message will draw demons to you.
I almost quit at the 28 minute mark, the blasphemy was just too much. But I’m glad I watched the entire video because of how you biblically refuted his claims and spoke the truth, the love & the amazing holiness of our great God. Thank you for your teaching of truth & your compassion for all who fall short of the glory of God.
I agree. This is definitely an area where Mike excels. I'm thankful Mike is on YT because of his ability to handle these types of teachings with patience & grace. Many of us wouldn't be able to handle our composure like Mike does.
Same for me, hearing him speak grated against my soul. Like i might actually rather take a cheese grater to my body then listen to those words.
I heard him ask the audience to question out loud if God worshiped them and I felt every fiber of my being scream “No!!!” this shows how important it is to be in God’s word and know what it actually says so you know how to respond when someone likes this twists it. Just as Jesus knew the scriptures and was able to combat the lies of satan in the desert. Know the Bible, know God’s truth cause his is the only truth that is really true and that should matter to us as Christians. We are to deny ourselves (including “our truth”) and follow him. We are to focus on God not ourselves.
“Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
Luke 9:23 CSB
“Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”
Mark 8:34 CSB
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”
Matthew 16:24 CSB
“Jesus turned and told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns but human concerns.”
Matthew 16:23 CSB
45 seconds in & hearing that guy gave me a pain in my heart.
My 10yr old son was overhearing, and even he was shocked. The thought of the poor people who are being taught this and are going to believe this is heartbreaking.
This made me angry. I guess I’m not as evolved as the people of the comment section. This is an OUTRAGE.
@donna3675 I'm right there with you. The exclamations of approval from the audience angered me also. Then I remember how deluded I was from faith teachers & pray that God gives me discernment.
Thank you Mike for never being afraid to speak up for the TRUTH! Praise God for using you as a light in a world of so much darkness. 🙌✝️🙏
I'm usually not a big fan of ministers calling out other ministers, but this was needed.
Mike is awesome at this kind of thing as well as Bible teaching
We are Told to call out false profits, false teachers, Wolves 💁
If you are leading people, you need to be doing it Biblically, and be held accountable for your words. People are relying on the head of a Church for the truth. Wisdom comes from accepting that what you are teaching is wrong. Even Mike Winger is held accountable for what he teaches.
You can get consumed in judging people so much that you forget that there are obligations outside of that. The internet is too big to judge every false (insert title). I always wondered how others like Mike go about coming up with such a video when brainstorming. Do they go through video after video seeing who has false teachings and who doesn't. It seems like a lot of effort. Effort that could be better spent on something else. I know in my comment I said this was needed, but the more I think about it...was it really? Any baby in Christ can see this blasphemy from a mile away. I would assume that if you can't it is because you don't want to. 🤷
If a minister in sin, then you call him out in a loving way.
We're to worship Him ; not the other way around. His perfect love is
ample.
Amen my brother in Christ, His love is more than enough. Anyone's worship is not needed, why would our perfect God even worship sinner (that have been changed) like us.
I detest preachers saying, “repeat after me”. I refuse to speak something when I don’t know what I’m about to say. I wish they would all just stop this practice.
I agree. I have yet to find one that doesn't do that at some point or another. All words should be your own thoughts out of your own will to speak. Even if someone has decided to become a Christian. You can teach and explain to them what is required. But, it should end there, and the person should speak and say whatever comes from their own heart. Then, they should be encouraged to read the bible cover to cover and study to find their own language and understanding. Leading people to say another person's words is dangerous, in my opinion.
just listen and then decide to repeat
When the pastor said today “repeat after me” it was “bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy name”. That was fine.
O my goodness...! The "repeat after me" directive...Manipulate much? Ugh
Wow Mike. I am so blown away by your self control. You are so gracious in your response to this person. I have to admit, I'm with the Sons of Thunder here....
Mike is so gracious. Thankyou.
Love the Chosen reference!
@@jaden_skywalkerit’s also a reference to the Bible, Mark 3:17 and Luke 9:51-56
😂😂😂 you're upset that someone else worship your sky fairy differently then you huh.
@@jaden_skywalkerits a bible reference my dear. 😊
To the generation that can only see themselves via selfies, reflections in thumbs up, likes, cubicled singularity that is without accountability or responsibility....
Parents, teach your children today! Show them God's plans unfolding and worship in the beauty of Holiness, Divine, eternal immortal all wise God
I can’t even imagine asking, expecting, or desiring God to worship me. 😵💫
The preaching is entertaining, using motivational music in background, using christian terms, blinding and misleading people, introducing unbiblical truth” GOD worshipping me” doctrine of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). 🙏Praying that GOD will open the heart of this speaker and his listener to search the Scripture that testify about the LORD Jesus Christ, who give eternal life to those who come to HIM. John 5:39-40, humbly repent their sins and believe the LORD Jesus Christ.
By GOD’s grace Wake up!, blinded, Wounded and dying soul!
Thank you Bro. Mike for this video. GOD bless you more!🙏❤️📖
Be right back, I need to look for my jaw that just dropped on the floor.
😂
😂😂
I have tagged Jermell on his Facebook page. I haven't spoken to him in years but have known him for about 15 years. Thank you for unpacking this blasphemous message and not turning off the comments on your post unlike the original "message from the pit."
He seems very "off" to me... his dress/pants/style. Besides what he's saying he seems effeminate.
@@ChaneyDee very effeminate. He has so much sugar in his tank he shouldn’t even be allowed on the pulpit to speak, he should be repenting.
Perfect example of "His truth" vs "THE truth"
Mike I pray for you because of what God has blessed you to do in the world we are now in. He has given you the gift to listen to and teach the wrong in the many leading the masses away from sound doctrine. I can’t even finish this because my spirit is just churning inside me to have nothing to do with this man. Lord protect Mike!!
Satanism is not the direct worship of satan... Satanism is the exaltation and worship of SELF.
If anyone is struggling to understand WHY the vast majority of these woke ideals are actually evil at their core (though many have a thin candy-coated shell presenting as 'virtuous')-- Congratulations cuz you are in the right place! This video is a master class on precisely why these ideals are evil at their core.
Self-exaltation is the sin of pride for which lucifer was cast out of heaven.
I have often wondered what he could have said to those other angels to convince them to follow him, to fall... (and since we are in the space of what-if's...🤭) I wonder if, perhaps, it sounded quite similar to this man's message of self worship?
As an ex-satanist back in the late 80's and 90's I confirm that our core tenant was that we were our own gods.
Disagree. Satanism is both.
Yh he probably told them, "you will be like God",
15:54 words just have so much power. Imagine the grin on Satan’s face, hearing a group of people claiming to be a church saying “what if God worships me?”
“Because God has some “fetish” with blood.”
Sheesh! Felt like Satan directly speaking through that guy right at that point.
This whole thing is spoken by Satan
Hearing the person in the background say “wooooow” is truly frightening. I pray God would open their eyes to this false teaching.
Amos 6:5-7 NLT
[5] You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David. [6] You drink wine by the bowlful and perfume yourselves with fragrant lotions. You care nothing about the ruin of your nation. [7] Therefore, you will be the first to be led away as captives. Suddenly, all your parties will end.
Hearing his song brought this passage to mind...
Next level self obsession
100%🤯🤯🤯
I mean got separated language because man was trying to elevate themselves to the heavens by building a tower.
God almighty became flesh and dwelt among us to teach us face to face then was crucified- he felt all the pain and taken upon His own shoulders took our sin and shame and death- this also makes Him worthy to worship Him. Being creator, savior, redeemer, deliverer- all in one. This makes Him worthy
Amen, praise Him forever, thankyou dear Lord Jesus 🌄
You are the saviour of the world.💖
I want to apologize for any nasty things i have said to you Mike Winger. Going from atheist to pagan and after watching you for awhile and reading the bible i can proudly say i believe now. Thanks for being a part in my soul being saved.
Fellow elder scrolls bro?
I know im a little late in this response but welcome to the family brother.
God bless you in Your relationship with Christ Jesus loves you friend
That's so inspiring I'm happy you were the one who went through that change :'(
Thank the Lord for the increase. ❤️
As someone who was a praise singer for years, it hurts so much to hear worship songs that i love to sing get twisted and violated in that way.
Mike, I’ve always known you to be funny and entertaining while also being one of the most gracious and biblically sound teachers of our day.. but you taking the guitar off the wall while he was singing was just the best
I just found you yesterday and I have to say that I love your breakdown and interpretation of scripture. It is so refreshing to see someone with a social media presence and following such as yours, speaking truth so boldly and courageously. God Bless you.
Did you catch the air quote he did when he said Christian. He either is aware what he's doing is in direct conflict to Christ or it's subconscious.
I caught that!
These false believers tend to hate real Christians. I love all my coworkers, but one of them who has similar theology (maybe not as far as self-deification yet) has this weird tendency to go out of her way to bash biblical Christians or complain about biblical doctrines.
I want to know how people listen to him. His speech patterns are grating and what he says is shocking! Pastor Mike, I've recently become convinced I have been a false convert and am seeking the Lord like never before.
That’s beautiful to hear. God bless you.
Itching ears...
If you think you're a false convert, turn your life over to God right this second and then you won't have to worry about it anymore! Problem solved! Sometimes the best solution, is the simplest solution.
When we don't read our Bible, pray, become disciples in a Bible believing church, lack discernment we will fall for false teachings like Jermell. I think this is what's happening in the video.
Cry out to God sincerely , repent and confess Romans 10:9-10. He will answer. Get a good study bible (NIV version is pretty good). Start reading John and go the other epistles. Then start reading the rest of the New Testament. He will step in and speak to your heart. It is not by works that you are saved it is simply by faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Keep encouraged. God loves you.
Worshiping Satan and rejecting God is one thing, but I find it particularly evil when you want to make God a worshiper of mankind. It's like...just be an atheist at this point bro.
Pretty sure he is. But he’s using his position to hopefully steal some more souls from Christ.
It's a new flavor of Gnosticism. This is the occult mixing with the church. The Jesus vs God narrative. The higher consciousness. The experience of god and becoming apart of god.
James Lindsay did some videos show the same language being used in woke literature as in old occult literature.Gnostics, Hermetics, Aryans and a few other such groups. Tic history did a similar video but with citations on all of his sources pulling full paragraphs from the books to show the connection. This Jernell guy uses that same wording for things.
Jesus vs. God is Marcionism, specifically. These lies are all making a comeback but this time the church is swallowing it whole.
@@Window4503 I was thinking gnostic as God's actions are attributed to the demiurge while Jesus's teaching is twisted into this "overcome the demiurge's world" type message.
But this is the first time I have heard of this Marcionism. Care to briefly explain it?
GOD HAVE MERCY ON PPL LIKE HIM, I PRAY IT DOESNT HURT THE HOLY SPIRIT , HE CAN BE GRIVED ,can’t take him ,he’s making my heart hurt ,but I worship YOU GOD,
This is dangerous. This is how we go from dealing with Satanism, to God dealing his full wrath against us, which is FAR scarier than the prior.
"God is all love"
@@nickfaire no he's not, he wants a fearful slave. But he is arrogant and jealous one of the divine his throne is not the only one. Soon Christianity will have to answer for trying to kill the other paths of spirituality.
@nickfaire I do not think that "God is all love" is stating that his only actions are love; Rather that all the love in the world is God, as God is the creator of all. Certainly in old testament, God delivered his wrath where he felt was necessary.
@@RyanSmith-xr4pz the more I learn of this thing you worship the more i hate it. Your faith leads to harming living people to see their souls snuffed out. Yet all I see is broken people and snuffed souls.
Your god is not the only divine , not the creator he is an arrogant emperor whose empire is fall and all crimes committed by him and his followers will be judged.
@@RyanSmith-xr4pz 0. If God harms humans, they are not all love. 1. The God(s) from the old testament and the christian God are not the same. For the whole history of the Orthodox and Catholic church we understood that perfectly and knew that the old testament in christianity was meant to be understood as a mixture of divine revelation to the jews ans their human cultural vision of the world they lived in. It wasn't until the protestants created the self-contradictory dogma of Sola Scriptura that there was people who started to believe non-sensical literal interpretations of the Bible.
One of the main problems with Islam from a theological point of view is that they think their book is the literal word of God, and hence their faith tends to contradict reason, science, etc. Protestants just made a cheap version of this.
If you believe in a God that harm humans, you don't believe in an all love God. If you have fear of God instead of love towards him, even less can you consider them to beall love. With all due respect, cope with it.
Just when I think I've heard it all...
I thought I’d seen it all with “satan’s guide to the Bible” but here we are
Right!? Just wait for tomorrow…..
Pastor Mike, I applaud you for being so patient. Delusion+Pride+Deception= Blasphemy!
Let us pray for him chat.
I listing while I take care of my elderly mother in law the hole time I was like What? Like we say in the hood it's bad in these streets. I pray for those who struggle with sin specially mine that always knocking on my door,but if it wasn't for Jesus snatching out of the fire from false doctrine, I'm just grateful for his loving kindness for people like you and fighting for the faith and pirate show that I started truly to the scripture and I'm free thank you
The number of “churches” that peddle this kind of mess is astounding. God help us.
I felt the weakness of the applause offered a glimmer of hope for his congregation.
We need to pray for the person who shouted "wow!"
But I think they sometimes pay people to do that?
@@robynmarler1951 The idea of a professional "wow" shouter is quite weird to me😀
My spirit is so disturbed by this. May God outpour the spirit of correction.

WOW. Thank you for taking the time to do this, it made me cringe in many places. I thank the Lord for bringing me out of false teachings and will be praying for eyes to be opened and hearts to be changed. He alone is worthy!
Haven’t even finished the video and man that first part is just wild!
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

So happy to see many in the comments also feeling disgust. I was wondering if my guttural reaction was an over reaction. I pray he sees the error in his ways, this is not ok.
My discernment red flags are going up!
These arent even red flags, that would imply some level of subtlety. This is blaring red sirens.
Sirens going off, flashing neon lights etc😂😂😂😂
This sickened me to the pit of my stomach. I couldn't finish watching it. The things this man says just revolted me so much.
I think sometimes we don’t recognize how funny Mike actually is “Super Saiyan satanism” honestly killed me😂
I had to pause to laugh lmao😂😂😂
I had just started DBZ again and i lost it when he said it
The occasional LOtR references always gets me, I never thought to hear him drop something from DBZ.
“This is super saiyan Satanism”
Mike with them bars again!
My eyebrows got a workout on this one. 🤨😒😖Unbelievable. I don’t think I could have tolerated watching it without MW sitting there to keep me sane. Wow. 🥴
I would have walked out. I’ve walked out of churches where the pastor grandize or when I hear false teachings.

WOW! I’m scared for this man.
Im scared for the people that are crazy enough to be part of that church.
These last days are last daying! 😬
two things Mr. Winger… Neither is a small thing in my opinion! I cannot thank you enough for the immense maturity that you display in the face of this absolute total disregard for the word of God ..WORD ,that word! thank you for saying what I absolutely need to hear at the same time can’t stomach the purpose for which you’re having to speak such things! secondly I have a big peeve. I wouldn’t even call it a pet. My pets are all precious. The peeve I have is how patronizingly condescending this person is speaking to grown people in his presence.… And the fact that they’re still sitting there, allowing such treatment! As always, you are spot on and refreshing! It’s stretches me to be in the confines of your painstaking, long suffering, endeavor of exposure of the false ones I pray this blesses you ,you have blessed me
