The fact that porn and intimacy are both regarded as similar is worrying. Not only is the porn industry designed purely for lust and not love it is also really quite violent the sex on porn sites is not out of love or their desire to be intimate its about making money and making normal people hate their body and feel like they have to live up to pornstars. It's really really unhealthy. I was addicted to porn for a while and it is just a short term pass of time to try and feel good as an empty feeling person. An empty person is a broken person to think it's not is pride messing with you. It is no different than any addiction if you can't live without it you are broken and suffering.
Your response was right on!! I literally thought the same thing. Porn=acting
Intimacy = genuine.
Amen
Finally a great comment
Yah porn irritates me more than anything. It’s so gross
I agree. And intimate relationships normally don't remove porn addictions.
My biggest struggle with Christian "liberalism" is that quite often they view the world as fixable. We know the world is broken and full of sin. Individual people can be saved from that sin, but the world is still inherently filled with evil. We are in the world, but not of the world.
The world is not fixable, but improvable.
Only God can fix the world. We can’t
@@patrickkunkle5958 True. we can’t even fix ourselves without God
You cannot love this world and God at the same time.
Also the problems can only be fixed by God Himself.
The original sin? Anyone? “I don’t need God, I can do it better myself.”
What do we hear from a lot of the world today? “I don’t need God, I can do it better myself.”
The ego kills our relationships with God
"Christians are gonna be mad with this"
I'm going to pray for this man, pray that God can lead this young man into the right path again. The young man is just confused, he needs guidance not hate from Christians.
May God show himself to this man with love
God bless ✝
I agree.
He needs to be humble. He's had guidance and he rejected it. We can't force God onto someone. God will not force Himself. If He speaks and you don't listen, He stops speaking. When his relationship doesn't work out, or he loses his job or whatever else goes on in his life that God allows to bring him to himself, he will go to God. But he needs to be humble first and sometimes God allows things to go on in your life that will humiliate you in order to teach you humility. (Look at Samson)
So many people struggle with one thing, CONTROL. They don't want to let go and allow God to lead their lives. They want to hang onto what they think they can do. "I can try harder today, I can have a support group to help me get through this, if I just have a little I can control myself". People think they are fine with being in control when the truth is them not allowing God control is allowing Satan control. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE OURSELVES RIGHTEOUS. It is so freeing to just accept God for what He did for us, knowing that we don't have to work for His approval. He loves us as we are. And by accepting His Holy Spirit, He daily changes us into what He knows us to be, His child, His son and daughter, holy, righteous, and saved.
The crazy thing is that we forget that we have pretty much no control over anything and I think that sometimes scares people. Our circumstances, the weather, inflation rates, our friends and families, we can't control these things. Even ourselves: I don't always think the thoughts I want or should, I don't always feel the way I want(how we feel changes every second and moment), and I don't always say the right things. So I have no control over things outside of myself, and even in regards to my own body I don't have absolute or even any decent control over it:/....
But the cool thing is that when God's Holy Spirit is a part of your lifestyle, suddenly you're thinking about things in a different light, you're speaking words that aren't your own, even ministering to others. The lows of life don't feel so low cause now there's someone who's calling out for you to get up again. You find yourself experiencing things you've never felt before, things that don't make sense to this world. When I experience His presence I'm crying like a baby but I'm feeling like I'm on top of the world!!!
And when your actions don't match with what your heart knows is right and true, it hurts and you feel convicted to live a better life. The world is eager to numb pain and force pleasure but God just wants us to be and feel alive, wholly and truly alive.
@@craig4002 You're right, we don't have control over anything, but we have control on what we believe! We shouldn't fear what happens in life because we know with all God promises us that He has our back. We could be starving on the street, but He is with us. We do not need control over anything because God is in control. And we must remember that feelings are NOT LORD. Satan knows how to manipulate our feelings and situations to make us think or act a certain way, but we know who God says we are and those feelings are a lie! That is why it is so important that we posture our hearts every morning in prayer of thankfulness to God for giving us life, grace, and His Spirit. Thanking Him for making us new and His child. We need to meditate on His promises to us so we can remember who we are. Jesus in the wilderness was starving and weak, suffering unimaginable torment. Satan knew how to play Jesus' feelings, but what did Jesus do? Fought back with the only thing that was true, not how he felt, but THE WORD of truth. ;)
I disagree I think how it works is we accept that God has a plan and he will set us on a path that fits his plan. But we have to walk the path. We have free will, we arent puppets. God points us in the right direction and we have to do the work ourselves. He inspires us and blesses us with knowledge and strength but we have to walk the path ourselves.
So does that mean that we shouldn’t even try to become the best versions of ourselves because god will love us anyways so we should just stay the same or what , cause this topic of not trying be righteous has always confused me shouldn’t we try and strive everyday to be better and not slack just because we know god will love us anyways
@@ccrow3355 not sure what you’re talking about here because it sounds like you’re saying God sets a path for us to earn our salvation and that is absolutely not what salvation is.
He just said "I have a cocaine addiction but that doesnt make me broken, I just needed heroin to get rid of my cocaine addiction. Its the natural needs of a human."
“Some people don’t even _want_ God to exist, they want to be their own god.” ~ Frank Turek
That's scary
Or we just disagree morally with shit that is dumb as fuck. What in fresh hell is wrong with liking the same sex for example, Or cohabitation, or premarital sex, or being trans, or dressing however you damn well please. Like sheesh. Not even god is capable of unconditional love
Many people are like that
I really like that being a Christian is acknowledging that we can't fix our sin. It's like when you're a child and your parents pay for everything; it's great when someone else takes care of It all so you don't have to worry.
Quit relying on God to fix you're problems.
@@ObsessedStephenKingFanatic1974 but God has never let me down, He always brought me out of a situation better than I was prior to it. He has never failed me, why should I stop?
@@takiyah0526 It's MORE like when you're a child and your parents pay for everything and do everything for you, and continue to do everything for you, even as an adult, so instead of doing things yourself, you rely on your parents to do everything instead of doing things yourself. You know what I mean?
@@takiyah0526 He helped YOU out of your situation, but couldn't help the 6 million Jews during the Holocaust?
@@ObsessedStephenKingFanatic1974
I suppose you missed the point of my original comment. I said that being a Christian is acknowledging your sin and realizing we can't fix our problem, even if we tried. So it's great that God took care of our sin, He took the punishment, so we don't have to experience it. This is about how we cannot fix our sin problem, and are damned to hell justly; yet God took the punishment He didn't deserve, and justified and sanctified us.
With that being said, I don't sit back and do nothing, refuse to work, etc. I do work, in fact I'm supposed to work as a Christian, especially since laziness is sinful (Col 3:23-24, Phil 2:14-15, Ps 128:2, Ps 90:17, Prv 19:15). We do have responsibility for what we do.
As for the Jews in the Holocaust though; like I said, we do have responsibility and free will. God cannot do or create evil things, He creates people and gives them free will; to which we decide whether or not we want to accomplish great things, like mother Teresa, or accomplish vile things, like Hitler or Ted Bundy.
Bad things happen, not because God isn't good or isn't real or isn't faithful, but because sin is real and has an influence on people (some, like Hitler, choose to let it completely take control of them) as we are all corrupted by it; which is exactly why we need God.
Jesus isn't a luxury, something you don't really need but is nice to have; He is a necessity. But just because Jesus is with you doesn't mean bad things won't happen to you, because people still have free will. And if God stopped every stupid or vile decision we ever made, we wouldn't have free will.
But think about this, God stopped World War 3. He stopped World War 4. He stopped Hitler from killing more people. He stopped the Trail of Tears from carrying on. He stopped Collonel Custer from raping and murdering more Indigenous women. Etc. Etc.
As people, we like to push off responsibility- as you said- we like to push off accountability and say every stupid decision was because God didn't intervene when we wanted Him to.
I hope that made sense :P
The first step to becoming fixed is realizing that you're broken, if you refuse to accept that you're broken it will never change for you.
I think the guys implication as well that if you attain a "monogamous sexual relationship" that your pornography addiction will just vanish away is ridiculous. There are MANY MANY people out their in those relationships and even married with an active sexual life with their spouses who still have addictions to watching pornography every day. He can't exactly apply his anecdotal experience define literally all pornography addictions because falling behind the excuse of "needing intimacy" just isn't going to cut it.
yeah, he's just swapped one bad habit out for another and has managed just justify the latter to himself and called that problem solved. by this logic any sin is fine as long as we can justify it...which we will always be able to do depending on how deep we want to deceive ourselves. deception=lies. opposite of the Truth! anyway i'm done 😂
Also a monogamous sexual relationship out of marriage is sin. Doesn't matter how healthy it is.
And when he gets bored with his relationship he will turn back to porn.
You can sin for a good reason, doesn't make it not sin.
Deconstructor- "Christianity doesn't really work for me." Me-Gravity doesn't really work for me." (Floats to my death in space.) LOL.
LOL!!!
Nooo🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job for comparing religion and science 🥰
@@kumarules118 Good job for completely missing the context. He/she is comparing truth with truth.
@@lionfire4493 the thing is, no one can prove if Christianity really true. So it's not related at all
Our sinful nature will lead us to ways in which we will try to fill our little cracks and brokenness with any other thing that will bring a temporary fix. The key is that God is the only one who can permanently fullfil every need, every crack, every brokenness. For the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
Yesss Psalm 23!! Perfectly stated!! :))
I don't have a TikTok or visit the site, but it is an interesting social experiment to observe.
Same I like some of the content on it but the way the algorithm is set up I end up seeing a lot of things I don't want to and that turns me off.
I have since downloaded it and now I am exposed to a lot of Christian content that makes me happy, took a while to get things like that on my fyp though.
If you ever go on there buckle your seat belt
Today I said being toxic doesn't make people change their mind and someone told me to kill myself because my life will never amount to anything
lol
@@crunch2 that’s awful. I hope you know that’s not true. God has a plan for your life ❤️
I don’t see how porn can be healthy. You literally feel like crap cause you aren’t like those “actors” in terms of body and idk other factor that matter. You also ruin your own pure view of sexual relations and expect so much from your partner. Porn kills love. The whole idea of watching two (or more idk) people have sex is just disgusting. I would know as someone who has watched porn and doesn’t anymore.
Spot on 👏🏾
please tell me, how did you stop, any tips? I just need a lil help
@@hotmotorsports3756 literally do anything you can, I mean get rid of your phone or computer, whatever device you watch, and install a porn blocker on your phone, if you don’t act it will consume you, any moment you feel the need to watch, pray before and actually say the words “God I want to watch porn”, not kidding this works, when you hear it from your own mouth you realize what’s going on.
It’s very difficult to stop, and I hope you can really push on to your relationship with God for you to be able to leave this, God bless.
@@butdoyouknowjesus4121 Thank you so much! I have been looking for advice, but all are never giving any tips, I will use your advice, for the result is desirable. God Bless you!
@@hotmotorsports3756 no problem, You got this! ❤️
It seems like the deconstructor sees his girlfriend as a sex object. That is, he said "I have needs, I just wanted sex," And then gets a girlfriend, like that's what women are for. :(
Sex is a need, but so is food and we don't eat people as soon as we get hungry. It's so important to put others ahead of our own needs.
Spoken like a true porn addict who sees women as sex objects

Hello sir I just want to say I love your TikTok videos and it’s helped me a lot with my walk with God. I just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts of wisdom and thank you for teaching the word of God
When Jesus heard He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Mark 2:17 NKJV
This is so helpful Isaac! I love your reaction videos. I could watch them every day 😊
Thanks!!
this was the video I tagged you in! thanks for making a video on it!
Oh dope!
Today, I went back to church for the first time in a few years.
It was scary. I had gone through deconstruction, atheism, agnosticism, all of it.
I felt so peaceful going back but it was a lonely experience: people didn't talk after church, everyone just went back home.
The reason we go through deconstruction is because we see christianity through our peers and not our Lord.
I’m so happy for you!!! I saw your comment and it warmed my heart, we always find our way back home, and Jesus welcomes us with open arms. The peace is something that can never be explained only felt❤️ And yes I feel that way too maybe the culture has changed so much that even in the church people want to “mind their business” idk but maybe join a group or serve Im looking to do that as well to find community
Does deconstruction always have to be negative? Sometimes deconstruction can help affirm why Christians believe what they believe. To me I questioned my faith in college. I learned that as much as we fight for justice, there always is injustice. Why is that. Humans we have a fallen nature. No matter how much good we do, we have areas of moral failure. Why is intimacy always synomous with sex. To me sex and intimacy are too different things. Sex workers have lots of sex but no intimacy. A married couple ( one of them is extremely sick) may not have sex, but if they love each other they have good intimacy.
What I’ve found in is that God can heal and do transformation inside of me, but then it is up to me to work through it. A couple years ago God massively broke rejection off of my life- but then I still had a lifetime of bad habits, both in thought and action, that I need to work through. But it is honestly so much easier than it ever was before God worked in this area.
Amen I’m seeing that too in my walk!

I'm broken and whole at the same time and I love this this is a paradox in Christianity God breaks you and each time he does it He shows more of Himself and that brings more joy I heard this from a pastor and when I thought about it, it just, it was sweet and beautiful to my heart so yeah 😊I love that I'm broken/whole in Jesus ❤️✝️
Praise God❤️✝️
You're doing and excellent job representing Christ, Isaac! Keep em coming! God bless your online ministry 🙏
Him being addicted to porn and being told that it is just his sinful nature and go pray about it. Na that doesn't fix it. Him saying now that he has a girlfriend he finally has his needs met............what if you didn't have a girlfriend then bro? Are you really going to put your self-worth into someone else being there to fulfill a need you yourself do not even understand?
If you do not know WHO YOU ARE in Christ, then yeah, even if you believe and pray you will still fall. Romans chapter 7 says who we are before we accepted God and His Holy Spirit into us. We fall even if we don't want to, we try and try and fail constantly. But Paul says in Romans chapter 6 "How can we who died to sin still live in it? Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life." By accepting Christ we accept that our old sinful person dies and is reborn in Christ. He gives us a new heart when we accept Him and His Spirit! Romans chapter 8 "Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, because of the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. All those led by God's Spirit are God's sons."
And you know this doesn't mean we will not be perfectly sinless, Christ will be our advocate, and the righteous man may fall 7 times, but he will still get back up Proverbs 24:16. You are God's child! You are forgiven! You are made new! Your old life is gone! Accept your identity and believe that is who you are! As they say, if you believe it, you'll achieve it.
No dude we were devout, man. I read the word and everything everyday, used to believe every word, prayed for strangers I’d see in my restaurant even, tithed, the whole shabang my guy. If I “wasn’t a Christian”, no one the fuck alive today is. That is such a false argument. I was just tired of constantly feeling like a horrible person every waking moment over something small that I did or suicidal over big things. Just left the “less than” mentality
It blows me away that people speak as if they have triumphed over God himself, and all they are is deceived. Pray for this man and others who share this view.
Amen! Thanks so much for this video Isaac, it's really encouraging to see the way you speak the truth in love - very powerful 😊 have a nice day!
It says in the word that there will be a spirit of deception in the last days, and that people think good is evil and evil is good.
I was just accused of being “too by the book” by a friend the other day. She and I shared a more deconstructionist view of God until I recently discovered the true Christ. Now that I am fully accepting Jesus, she has grown hostile toward me in a way and gets irritated with me when I talk about God’s word. It’s interesting how that turns out.
Love your videos man! I was actually super sad to see this dude fall away, his deconstruction seemed to be more motivated by emotion than anything else.
Without Jesus, I'm a horrible person! Before Jesus I was angry, bitter, full of resentment. I was planning the murder of my own mother. My heart is wicked. I feel like the modern day Mary Magdalene (which is ironically where my name comes from; It comes from putting Mary and Magdalene together). I feel like before Jesus, my heart was possessed by evil (I wasn't literally possessed, but I believe Satan had a hold on me), and then Jesus freed me from it's hold. Now I am beyond grateful for His love and mercy!! No one has to convince me that I was broken. No one has to convince me that I needed Jesus! And I guess I'm lucky that I was so wicked because I couldn't deceive myself into thinking I was a good person and didn't need Jesus. I know I deserve Hell!! But praise God I'm forgiven!!!! And no one will EVER convince me that Jesus isn't real because I have seen the changes He has made in me!! I will praise His name with my dying breath!!! Praise be to God!!!!!
Thankyou!! Your channel is soo aweaome!!
"Your Honour, that verdict just doesn't work for me. 'Guilty' and 'not guilty' puts us in binaries. I'm not guilty. I'm just a person"
You are doing Gods work!!! It’s so refreshing to see you using these modern day platforms to do what Jesus and his disciples were doing on foot 2000 years ago. God is with you and speaking through you
As far as mot knowing Jesus name, the Word specifically states "He who has not believed is condemned already because he has not trusted in the only Son of God". You need to know Jesus name in order to be saved, it's that simple.
I am far from perfect myself, but the truth is, that he is really missing the point: that we need Jesus. We all fall short of the glory of God. Even the most faithful among us cannot make it by their own strength. If we could, then Jesus' crucifixion would have been of nul effect.
I believe that's what the religious leaders of Jesus' time felt about themselves; and the saducees and pharisees; yes, they might have followed the law to the letter, but they had a prideful heart; they failed to realise their need for Jesus. In fact, they didn't even recognise Him.
Me? I need Jesus. And I'm glad I do; because even if I could make it by my own strength, I still would be nowhere near as strong as Jesus. It's weird, in a way, we don't just need Jesus, we need to need Him. If that makes sense? 🤔
Very true 💕
Thank you for this message and explanation.
Keep doing what you’re doing bro!!!
I really appreciate you not affirming the idea that any monogamous relationship is healthy! Need marriage.
Amen Isaac God bless you brother
Turns out binaries are useful. Yes vs No. True vs False. Right vs Wrong. Up vs Down and on and on... What is the problem with 1 vs 0? Some really important things are not on a grey spectrum.
thank you for speaking the truth, love your videos.
One thing I'll touch on here- the "if you leave the faith you weren't a Christian in the first place" narrative is incredibly dissociated from the very real relationship that person had with faith. It's easy to brush people off as never having "truly believed" but that's not a helpful assertion and it's riddled with assumptions. That prescriptive phrase isn't helpful and it channels self-granted omniscience. We don't know someone's experience with God and telling them what it was is divorced from reality. We can do better than that. That ideology isn't central to the core message so floating it out there isn't constructive.
I'm really not sure he can do better than that
Great work. The road is narrow.
I know the power of pornography it’s deceptive and evil. But my experience with it has given me the answer to fight against it. 1.it’s fake, I can argue that it’s another form of finding your sexuality but my conclusion is that true love is not in porn.
2. Pride, my flesh wants what I can’t have until marriage that’s the fact and only Christ can fill that void if we surrender ourselves too Him.
My response to those who are into porn just cast your troubles to Jesus. He can help you as He did for me so don’t give up the fight. Porn only kills love because it’s just an imitation of the real thing and we all deserve “true” love and we can find it in Jesus.
I don't really watch porn but I do masturbate. I mostly masturbate when I'm in the bed before I stand up or start to sleep. At that time my mental resistance is way lower. Any tips on how to fight that? Because I can't just starve myself of sleep and blocking websites and stuff also doesn't work. Also I do pray for it but during that time I don't think of it most of the time or if I do I just don't want to pray.

I remember a part from the book Pilgrim's progress where two men said the same thing.
Hi, I appreciate your thought content on these issues. One point I would like to make is drawing a distinction between "brokenness" and our "sin nature." I heard another TH-camr talk about how evangelism is taught from a self help perspective of God and how this can be harmful to evangelizing some people. This creates a problem where people who would be considered well adjusted since that they grew up in a happy home without God can't see their need for a savior. They think that Jesus is only for "broken people" yet their are people who are truly broken in the since of having ad trauma in their lives and are now using coping mechanism to deal with their problems (i.e. sex, drugs, etc). One person can use drugs because they are trying to to deal with a past pain and others might use it simply because it feels good to their sinful flesh. I think it's important to draw separation with this so they aren't treated they are interchangeable. We all have a sin nature that without God will send us to hell but we aren't experiencing brokenness to a true degree that we can recognize the need for a savior.
On the porn thing if you are struggling with an addiction that you cannot get rid of considered giving control of your devices to a trusted friend or family member.
As in you can set up parental controls to block adult content or use a software like Covenant Eyes or Eero
I'm writing something to evangelise people in helping them to understand the gospel and really your videos blessed me since this morning and helped me in my progression. Be blessed and continue to fight for the Truth, stay tuned to THE LORD'S SPIRIT. WE'RE HERE FOR THAT.
Coming to terms with one's innate brokenness and corruption is a pretty huge checkpoint of maturity for all people in my opinion, whether it relates to Christianity or not. Having the courage to confront your brokenness unflinchingly without retreating to defensive self-soothing or indulgent self-flagellation is huge huge hugely important - I consider it a sort of "rite of passage" into a full sense of humanity, and it's definitely the only way to experience true empathy.
If it was just a case of unmet needs, why are the richest among us whose needs are abundantly filled are often the ones who are the most abusive, power-hungry, corrupt, and straight-up evil...? And are you able to recognize yourself in those people, in that fundamental bottomless hunger we all share?
In my experience, though, these are the q's you only start to ask yourself when you fail HUGELY and your whole life blows up in your hands like a grenade you pulled the pin on and forgot to throw. Until you've been there, until you've come to the end of yourself, it's just not something you can understand - seems to me like some of these people haven't been there yet. It's coming though, life spares no one 😅🤣
We All Need God To Fix Us, Amen ☦️❤️✝️
I love your videos brother! Question: are you Catholic? Keep putting out great content!
The drive to watch porn does not go away when you get married. If you think you have overcome the lure of porn because you have a spouse you are going to be disappointed. It may go away for a time but temptation is always there
Sadly this particular TikToker was sent to me by a former friend and then they said see I'm not broken and don't need Jesus to save me. They then went on to flip out on how Christians need to stop pushing their beliefs on others when they've asked questions then when they're not happy with the answer because it's not the answer that this type of TikToker gives (aka lies) then it's not what they want to hear and they're mad that anyone would tell them the truth even done in love is considered hate to them. These progressive TikTokers not "just" damaging to believers who are struggling but also non-believers who have questions and turn to TikTok to find answers.
The proud will be humbled and the humble will be exalted.
One thing I find interesting is the equating being a Christian With being a good person. That’s just legalism. And frankly the opposite of the gospel message. The message that we are broken and need God to fix us.
I agree with the needs thing, our sin can sometimes be a distorted solution to fulfill our needs we should and can find Godly ways to fulfill our needs but our sinful nature doesn't want to that's why we need God
All I can say is pride will swell our ego and our ego will divide us from who we are called to be instead of deconstructing our Faith in God so this man needs prayer.
I am new to the term deconstruction, I can only say I was also a man that was born in the church and left during college years because I thought I don’t need Jesus or God. But reading my Bible today God told me to come to this video and type this chapter from the Bible. I felt just like those hit me when I read my Bible, he was talking to me and many ex Christian’s that leave the faith. I am testimony that not even the church will save you, Jesus saves ! So repent and go back to Jesus like I did! My life is amazing knowing the truth of the Bible. Let me type from my Bible I have a simplified translation but true to the original scriptures, READ Luke chapter 15 read the whole chapter it’s short I’ll type it here
Luke 15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the minty-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home he calls his friends and his neighbors, and saying to them ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’ Just so I tell you they will be more joy heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance.
“Or what women, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it ? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin for which I have lost.’ Just so I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over on sinner who repents.”
And he said, “There was a man who had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that falls to me.’ And he divided his living between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. And when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to be in want. So he went and joined himself with one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into the fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many of my fathers hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger ! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “ Father I have sinned against Heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired servants.” And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to the servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to make merry.
“Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. But his father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I have never disobeyed your command, yet you have never given me a young goat to celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!’ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive, he was lost, and is found.’”
So this my friends that are leaving Jesus, are lost like the lost son. I too was once that son I left and found nothing good without God the father and without Jesus, but when I started coming back to Jesus he welcomed me with open arms and celebrated my arrival just like the father in the parable. God meets us running before we even get to him, we are his lost sheep and are celebrated when we come back. God loves everyone of us and when we repent of our sins and come back to Jesus he will have the best for us and will know that truth that he came and died so that we can be in heaven with him and the father. I was lost and now I’m found, I know there will be more like me, God bless you and I will not be like the other brother, I will recognize I was with the father for a while now and I too will celebrate when the lost brother or sister comes back to Jesus for I was also in the same situation, if anyone ever needs help with the Bible reply to me here, God bless 🙏
Thank you for your comment and sharing, God is so good!!!! Glory to him 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
@@livarsfit you’re welcome! Actually Thank you for your comment as well, I remember this passage now that I’m reading it again and God is talking to me again, every time I fall to sin to repent and he’s there waiting for me. This time I have the fear of the Lord like Abraham did, the reverence to God and the joy he brings me. If I love God but keep sinning then I am not the Jesus’ friend like he says in John 15, I want to be his friend and have the fear of letting him down, and have a complete respect to God. Thank you again for commenting and bringing me to this passage again. God bless you 🙏God is above all things and he’s very good 🙏
Maybe I'm weird, but knowing that everyone is broken with me makes being broken much less painful, and knowing that God loves me no matter how many times I fail Him makes it much easier to not be discouraged and give up on myself when I screw up like I have in the past.
I love your hairstyle
If someone is trying to start a fight with divisive ideas or words, then saying things plainly and truthfully shouldn't be seen as fuel for the argument. Hopefully it helps viewers of these tiktoks getting a fuller view of the debated idea in a way that they can make their own decisions.
From the tiktok video ♥️
Deconstructionism has taken over the world at large. It’s horrible. One of the worst practices that came from the sixties free movement (more mid to late century). Aside from the sexual revolution, deconstructionism has been one of the most destructive forces. Destroying our view of absolute truth and birthing generations of narcissists who believe their feelings and thoughts are more important than authors and creators. That truth is anything we believe it to be. A great example of this push/pull is the show Northern Exposure. Dr. Joel Flieshman is an absolute truth guy. Chris Stevens is the deconstructionist hippie. There are some interesting episodes that present the dichotomy between the two systems of thought.
The “s” in TikToks implies that you will be commenting on more than one video but this was just one reaction to one of the more milk toast deconstruction videos. I’ve seen so many really good ones that no one seems to be mentioning or reacting to; probably because they’re right and would bring too much dissenting opinions to the conversation.
Faith without action is dead. Action without faith is NOT dead.
"broken" and what makes us broken? aggression? the thing any other animal has? the thing that can be beneficial? being able to have an addiction means we are broken? explain how that makes a human broken. what other human could we possibly compare our self to in order to know we are broken.
Humanity is inherently both broken and fixed. Broken in the sense that we brake ourselves through fallacious and impulsive reasoning and actions that do benefit us and fixed as in we can and have fixed those flaws. We aren't perfect put we aren't so hopelessly flawed like this preacher guy says. Ultimately I think the Christian world view is extremely narrow and closed, gosh man some of y'all need buddha lmao.
@@karlazeen so in other words we are broken because we do bad things??? like murder? sad truth is murder is a social construct. we are animals. the only sense that we are broken are the ones that dont actually exist. we arent flawed unless you think of humans higher than what we are, animals. of course i think we should all strive to be nice to each other etc but if we dont it doesnt mean we are flawed as living creatures.
My deluded Christian friend tried to convince me babies are sinners cause they don’t do what their parents tell them and they, “know.” Infants. Facepalm.
What you should do to put your ministry at its best is to use the bible while giving your explanation. People are used to speak by their own while "preaching", so for you to show a different image you have to show your bible in your vids, which are pretty good. Just keep that in mind 😉
Btw, new sub right here! God bless!
I think he makes these using the meaning of the Bible in general and not necessarily specific texts
I left Instagram because of this. It came out of seemingly nowhere, then to just cover my entire homepage like a trendy subject. It crushed my heart to even hear any of it. So, I just shut off my account. Media in general seems to be destroying or encouraging the destroying of a lot of things these days. Jesus wasn’t encouraging deconstruction of faith. Jesus encourages redemption and going from glory to glory. I don’t enjoy this movement. It seems to be lead by the touch and go celebrities who became Christians for a year and then left with out any chance for renewal of mind.
The example of violent children is somehow proof that we're "broken"? You talkin in circles bro lol
Theology is unavoidable. Everything we do speaks to what we believe about God.
I mean, if you think that you don't need to be fix...you need to be fix. Believing that as humans we're able to magicly just start to do things in a better way is just nonsense, what is the huge thing that will make us all change and live in a world of hapiness, peace and real equality? somekind of amazing leader? i think that world already have some of those and it doesn't matter how great they are (or claim to be) they maybe can change some things and impact some people, but not everyone and not forever...and certainly some of this leaders made more bad than good, so...maybe some catastrofic event will unite us and make us acknowledge that we are in this together? mmmmm until now as humanity we had deal with wars (world wars and many, many, many civil wars in differents countries), catastrofic nature events, pandemics/pests and SO many events that cause suffer...and we just keep doing the same things we had been doing throught human history. So how exactly are we going to save our selfes? Neh, just no. Jesus is really the only actual hope humanity have.
Pride is such a huge problem. We often criticize this month-Pride Month-for promoting sexual sin, as we should. But we too often forget that it promotes pride, which is also a sin.
Pride too often leads to leaving Christianity, which this guy proves.
There is not a more prideful group of people on Earth than Christians. You say you own this country, you say its yours to control, you have cathedrals made of fucking gold for fucks sake
@@xXEGPXxand even when some of them try to be more humble, or thoughtful, they still assume everyone around them is Christian, or that they want to have the Bible quoted at them
You don’t have anything you’re proud of? Any accomplishments? Your heritage? Who you are?
I actually want that guy to see this video...
Do you have a podcast??
I just listen to his yt vids as a podcast
there is good in every person.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other NAME under heaven given among men by which we must be saved - Acts 4:12
Aaaah this actually makes me so happy because I went to bible college and have now explored these questions I’ve had. What I’d say to my past self is that people do leave the church because they don’t like the Jesus the bible presents. Not all the time but in many circumstances. Since God defines love anything God does is loving. Ex. If God created people knowing they suffer eternal punishment would be loving since our definition of love is not the same as God’s. After all it says “7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. “ (1 John 4:7-8). It’s a passage telling us that if we know God we will love like Him, and that regardless of our feelings the God always has been and will always be love. And love is not gonna feel good all the time.
Jesus’s sacrifice doesn’t atone for all sins since that’s what God has decided. We don’t know why, but we are too respect the decision of our creator on why Jesus’s atonement wouldn’t extend to everyone. We also don’t know how God will reach people who’ve never heard the gospel. God could probably use visions and dreams but sharing the gospel is so important. God’s spirit I believe is really accessible and everyone. Regardless of who you are. We don’t know why God created us, or if He really would be better or worse without us. But I think He’s better with us since He’s created many people to show His glory and many to show His wrath. I don’t actually know if we have free will, but I do feel more in control of my decisions. So I’d say yes but free will isn’t a super clear biblical concept.
I was hoping I could give sth as an answer to that but it seems that the hardest questions are those concerning the nature of God Himself. However the parable of the wheat and the weed did come to mind when I read your question, albeit not knowing how exactly that explains the situation. As a Christian I think that God is so nuanced. Sometimes I battle over there questions as well which again is arguably the hardest type of question faced by believers and non believers alike but I would think this way, if God is indeed wise beyond human understanding as seen in all creation and is therefore much superior compared to us and have thought of all the arguments we can possibly think of regarding His works and decisions then there must really be something superior behind all that He established and planned. And that is actually what Faith means, to acknowledge and honor Him as the Most High and believe even if all our human ideas are clashing against what He has established.
More like destruction
No way we can have a real relationship with God and still feel like we lack intimacy.
I love your videos! They solidify for me all the reasons why I left the Church in the first place. When you get spiritual geniuses like yourself who (either willfully or otherwise) choose to not view brothers and sisters leaving the Church with empathy and understanding, but instead choose to use the tired old rhetoric of “yeah, but, what about the Bible?”, it’s no surprise why your numbers dwindle. And how much you push your Patreon and other cash grabs… just like Jesus did, right? 😂😅😬
They didn't know him because they didn't know the father, who sent him.
Right on
8:40 😆
The Toaster says, "I didn't make me. But if I try hard enough, I can fix me!"... (gets tossed in the trash can)..........(wait for it)...........
the volume in this vid is very low. had to crank my volume up to 100.
Theology means what humans know about God. To say that you don’t need god theology is basically saying it’s okay to accept a misunderstanding of God. To speak about love is an aspect of theology, to talk about quality is to ultimately come down to theology.
From God are all things.
What denomination is this guy?
God made the problem it’s fitting he has to solve, I agree murder, all kinds of assault, theft is wrong but making monogamous relationships, gay relationships to me shows how egotistical he is. I like “Oh I want you to be the way I want to be.” But he’s like “no I don’t want you for who you are in terms of your consenting relationship, I want a clone of me.”
KJV 1 Corinthians 10:13. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:but God is faithful,who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,that ye may be able to bear it.
Amen!
He just wants to watch porn without feeling guilty anymore. I don’t know this person myself, but I doubt having a girlfriend stops him from watching porn. This guy, and many others like him, chose porn over Jesus. A big shame. I did the same thing until I was born again. Haven’t watched porn since. Never will again either. I don’t want Gods eye upon me enjoying satans work.
How can you know Christ or his character if you have wrong theology???🤨
I think people are mistaking theology for legalism. Theology is the law that the God says we must do and is absolutely crucial in a believers life. Legalism is the law that men say we must follow and hold no value in the eyes of God.
If you leave the faith because you're told you are broken, your problem is with your pride. We're not called to bring people into a club. We're called to bring those who are humble enough to hear the truth and accept the truth to the truth. That's what we should do. Not everyone will accept the truth. We shouldn't chase after everyone who leaves the faith because they are chasing after their own wants and desires and never truly were part of the faith. But God is working within them and will bring them to Him if they are humble.
People don’t want to be offended in any way. Of course, they have no problem with offending anyone who doesn’t agree with them. We are all sinners and a great many people are offended because they don’t believe that they have ever sinned.
The Occult has the Truth.
I can appreciate the sense of honesty the former "christians" have.... at least you can minister to them without the lense that they believe in God... if that makes sense.
