Shout-out to Gregory Hyde from Thinking2Infinity for writing and editing this entire satire. 🤓 Also fun fact!: The piece of paper that I am hole punching is actually the latest newsletter I received from Kenneth Copeland ministries that happened to be laying there from a former video. Poking holes in it is more than just a metaphor 🧐😉
I just got banned from the Reddit sub literally called “r/Christianity” FOR SAYING JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY BY A BUNCH OF ATHEISTS AND PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANS!!! Literally can’t make this up.
Read the Bible, but pray for wisdom and knowledge from God before you do. Ask God many questions and pray for decernment, I recommend reading the gospels first, then Acts, Roman and Hebrew, and then the Old Testament. Or if God is tugging you to a book in the bible specifically, then start there. When I first started, I felt God wanting me to read the Bible (and mind you I love the Bible, I used to have a child one that I read until it started to naturally fall apart xD I even remember trying to put it back together and making sure the pages were in it, I also remember how sad I was when I had to give it away) but I still struggled to open and read the Bible. I didn't know where to start or what to read and nobody gave me advice, I prayed to God about it and listened to sermons (which I don't take lightly, I examine every single one I hear closely lest I let anything bad slip in) I knew enough of the Bible to distinguish bad and good sermons (I recommend Paul Washer he gives some really great and biblical advice, but becareful when it comes to the internet, this is where discernment and knowing the word of God comes in handy) I even listened to the book of revelations at work a few times until I read it and from there I started reading it all the time. Mind you, it's still a struggle to open the Bible every day, but that's part of the flesh waring with our spirit, and as you pray and practice decerment, you'll start to be able to see through alot of bad teachings
Another great resource is the 1 Year Daily Audio Bible podcast. It will take you through the entire Bible in a year, and there's usually a bit of helpful commentary.
Jesus isn't interested in making Christians....He makes Disciples only!! Once you realise this truth and knows the cost of actually obeying Him and the cost of taking up your cross...then you will become worthy to be used for His glory. Are you ready? 🥰
Blessings on your for recognizing eternal conviction. You are not alone. Humbly approach the Savior, confess your life of sin and accept change to your soul lifestyle that by your faith, words and actions glorified God Almighty. Live in grace and confidence in Messiah. It isn't easy, but trust me it is worth it.
Grab a Bible....translations recommended are NKJV, ESV or older NASB. If you look for a study Bible get the one from Concordia Publishing. Read the New Testament first, Gospel of Matthew then the epistles (Galatians, Colossians, Corinthians, Hebrews, Ephesians Timothy). For sound teaching on youtube check out "Fighting for the Faith" "Bryan Wolfmueller" and once you're a bit deeper "Dr. Jordan Cooper". Enjoy the journey
"Well, I guess you should've been, Colonizer. 🙄" not even a minute later: "Wait, wait... _Wrong_ with you?? You're the righteous author of your own righteous life story!" 😂😂
The sad thing is this whole conversation is not outside the realm of reality, knowing how people are sadly so scared to say the wrong thing for fear of offending someone at the risk of their own faith.
Oh, Melissa. That was funny but sad because it is true. I had a new age/progressive Christian associate ( don't know which one she is) tell me my religion is outdated, so she didn't want anything to do with it or me. She said this because I told her that manifesting money is not in the Bible. She thinks she can manifest money while living in her car. Make it make sense.
Progressive Christian: God loves you exactly how you are and there's nothing wrong with you! Except if you take the Bible too seriously; that's just wrong!
I was waiting for you to say: '"one ringy dingy , two ringy dingy.....". (From the old show Laugh In). Maybe this is too old for you....a character played by Lily Tomlin....... Here in New England, we have much of the Progressive Christians in the liberal protestant denominations..... Most of them drive an old Volvo with a "CoExist" bumper sticker on the back side panel, not even on the back bumper 😅😢😮😅😢😮😅😢😮😅😢 Always love your satire. Be blessed!! Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷💗
This is gold. I literally read a book where the writer said that Jesus did not die for our sins, because God needing a blood sacrifice was barbaric. Yet she said that that she was sure it meant something to those ancient Jews who wrote the New Testament, but wE kNoW bEtTeR nOw
The feeling in his chest sounds and "Virtue Signal Be Upon him" 😂😂😂 I really like how you didn't just josh and satire, you (or he) put the Gospel message in there. Will check out Mr. Hyde.
Can I just say that the production quality in your skits is outstanding! You are talented on many levels, and God is blessing you to use the talents and gifts that He’s given you in a mighty way. I found your channel not too long ago and have been binge watching like crazy over the last couple of weeks! I’ve learned a lot. It’s also very edifying to find someone like-minded. I don’t really have many people in my life to talk about the gospel to, or to have deep conversations with... even within my church. I really miss that! Yours, and the ministry of those you have as guests are so important to God‘s kingdom and His people. Thank you for listening to His call.
Thank you Melissa. So true. I love this. First time I’ve seen Gregory. Nailed it. Your satire is incredibly funny. I’d like to remember some of those lines, not circles, or something…
That was good. You nailed down their condecending, self-righteous and patronising tone to a T, and great attention to detail on the "thank the godess" bit. "Signalled virtue be upon him", I'm stealing that.
Hi, Melissa! I enjoy your unapologetic and comedic way of thinking outside the box and exposing falsehood! Ephesians 5 vs 11: Do not take part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
But why do this. It’s confusion. Making jokes about what is sinful is not good either I got off Catholic Church SITE and no more talking mocking it’s not funny. This isn’t either. No more I need GOD WAS HIGHLY BLESSED Nothing works.
Thank you for this! Made my morning… I lived this and basically answered the phone that way for well over a decade until it just stopped making sense. The middle t truth… perfect, LOL!!
Excellent video Melissa and so funny too! Definitely get some of the points across. When you use humor and put it like that it really helps people understand why that type of thinking is so messed up! Thanks for sharing!
In our house, when someone says something heretical (always in jest,) the rest of the family backs their chairs away so they don't get hit by the lightning. I'm going to need a serious lightning protector from this video. Well done!
@ 0:46 dang... this part of the skit just hits hard... it really be like that, pray for them yall we gotta be standing ten toes on The Word of God, screw our feelings and all this "man made traditions," that excuse ain't working when we have to give a full account to God.
Oh my "probably his whiteness" "you should have been, colonizer". You HAD ME DYING!!! THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You TOO GREG,!! Totally irrational thinking. 👍👍👍👍👍

😂😂😂 that's fantastic! Punching holes in the Copeland mail!
Fantastic skit!

As a Former-Progressive Christian, this is hilarious💀

@MelissaDougherty - Thanks so much for collaborating on this skit with me and posting on your channel! Had such a great time working on this. 🙏🏻😁
You guys are brilliant together!
The sarcasm is on point. I love it!
Perfect humor..and perfect acting. Top notch.
I was dying at the “Jesus drew circles, not lines.”
Keep it up, Melissa!
"what does that even mean?" haha
I’d heard Andy Stanley teach that line in his twisted heretical way. 😢
I weep at the deception in the Church. I pray people see this and realize how deceived they are.
("I'm so, so, getting fired", "thank goddess", "signalled virtue be upon him" ... etc.) Thank you for making my day. 😃
And "pretty sure it's a rodent." 😂
"Well, I guess you should've been, Colonizer. 🙄"
not even a minute later: "Wait, wait... _Wrong_ with you?? You're the righteous author of your own righteous life story!"
😂😂
I was an Episcopalian for the first 30 years of my life and this is both hilarious and painfully accurate.
I love when you do satire. 😂 You're so funny.
Agreed! 😂
“I hate to tell you . . . No, I’m going to love telling you this.” Nailed the sanctimony.
“Signaled virtue be upon him” . . . Or something.
His facial expressions are so awesome. 😆
The sad thing is this whole conversation is not outside the realm of reality, knowing how people are sadly so scared to say the wrong thing for fear of offending someone at the risk of their own faith.
EXACTLY. Nevertheless, HALLELUYAH to Almighty Abba and His Worthy Lamb!!!
@@MakeItWithCalvin
You fundamentalists aren't scared of saying things that contradict science either.
This.
“thank goddess” got me 🤣🤣
This is awesome!!

Your satire is the best and always hits home with truth.
Love it! We need more of these….or something!!
The 11th Commandment: Thou shalt be nice!
“Self-righteous” and hypocritical is their mantra.
And the 12th is like it thou shalt mine thy own business-unless you are rectifying some social inequality
Who could dislike this???!! 😂 I LOVE IT!!! So true!!! Many churches don't evangelize anymore!
That should tell us something 🤨
@DaysofElijah317 What are you referring to?
@@LaCurlySue562 there might be something wrong with those churches
@@LaCurlySue562that maybe there’s something wrong with those churches
Probably because they realize hell is mythological bullshit.
Does your shirt say "free hugs, just kidding, dont touch me?" 😂 I LOVE that 😂
I was thinking "Tree Hugger." LOL
Satire is your JAM !
Thank you for this gem 😂
Thank You Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, that You have redeemed me and called me out of this lie of progressive Christianity.
Progressive Christian: God loves you exactly how you are and there's nothing wrong with you! Except if you take the Bible too seriously; that's just wrong!
Melissa, your satire is amazing. You are one of my favorite TH-camrs. Your apologetics are right on, as well. Love you, Sister!
She's a wonderful example of "The Church of What's Happening Now."
“Signal virtue be upon him.”
Coffee…out the nose…😂

This is so great! The caller witnesses to the worker! 😂🤣

PS: I do see quite a few "Thank Goddess" bumper stickers too 😁.
I see you Lily Tomlin. 😂😂😂
Ah, Miss Tomlin from the telephone company. Is this the party to whom I am speaking? 😂
When you said,"Bless your heart!", I thought I was going to lose it! 🤣🤣🤣
Legend has it that many deconstruction stories came out of this call center.
Wow, that was like drinking from a firehose... that's not connected to anything. 🤣
Preach it sister God has raised you up for such a time like this bless you
This hit me right in the feels.... just not right wing.

You're so talented at satire, God blessed you for this! You and JP Sears are top notch.

Yay! A new skit for a new year! And it was very funny - loved Gregory's expressions🤣
You're skits always make me laugh and props to the fella in the video as well! "Right! Just not right wing!" Had me rolling 😂😂
That "or something" always makes me laugh 09:40 hahaha
Next-level!!!
Coffee and Melissa satire!! ❤👏🏼 I have never seen Gregory before, but the two of you were golden! I'll have to check out his channel. TY
Great satire Melissa. It really points out how the progressive Christian teachings aren't designed to bring people to a saving knowledge of Christ.
Always love your satires.

Thank you both
I almost fell in that hole that is Progressive Christianity, but i got rid of TikTok and bam, no more mess, now i apeak out against it.
Tik Tok is a cesspool for so much nonsense. I deleted Tik Tok too. Idk something about that app I can’t stand.
The Michael Gungor lines had me ROLLING!!!! 😂
I've missesd your satire!
Pure brilliance!
Melissa…
DON’T EVER CHANGE!
😊
This is one of my favorites of yours, Melissa!
Hello! Yes! More skits please!
This is very accurate. This is amazing.
Well done guys!
😂. This is great.
I’m so glad no one spoke to me like this when I came to the end of my rope!!
Agreed! You got the gift of satire 😂 I share the on our ladies bible study group. We love quoting these videos.
That is such a good way to describe progressivism, A journey without a destination.
Honestly my first thought to seeing this pop up on my feed was “oh goodness… homegirl went there.” 😆 I love this!!
In our house, when someone says something heretical (always in jest,) the rest of the family backs their chairs away so they don't get hit by the lightning. I'm going to need a serious lightning protector from this video. Well done!
Nearly got an aneurism from the explanation of how true isn't true. Well done Melissa!
Great and truthful satire. If you and I are not living out faith unashamedly we are committing a sin of omission. Now, let's go be a blessing.
Thank you for doing what you can for the Truth.
Melissa this is your best work ever! Loved it!
Thank you for this! I haven’t laughed this hard for a while!!
"Virtue signal be upon him."😂
the outtakes have to be hilarious!
that was very entertaining Melissa and hilarious, i love your skits.this was maybe the best one ever, or something.

I had to watch this twice!
It was hilarious 😂
Oh my "probably his whiteness" "you should have been, colonizer". You HAD ME DYING!!! THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You TOO GREG,!!
