7 Things Christians Just Need to Stop Saying 

Thank you! I truly need this reminder. I just heard from a loved one that actually wish that on me This morning Hmm. He says he has been DELIVERED! OK!

Thank you Allen. One thing I would like to point out with love and respect is you said to change “good luck” for “I wish you the best”. I believe you should use the word Hope instead of wish. To wish means -to have a desire for something, such as something unattainable- which is similar to saying “good luck”. Hope is a much better way to express your feelings. GOD bless you keep up the good work.

Love you teachings brother, just need clarification please (I'm new to this and still on Milk - not meat yet) #7 is a bit confusing for me because of Mathew 7 vs 1 "Judge Not, that ye be not Judged"? Help!

THE BEAT by Allen Parr If the Holy Spirit leads you, would you do a video about Christians playing the lottery? There are many Christians I know who consistently play. Thank you.

Hey, how are you sir.. I've been following your videos for the past few weeks and I really enjoy it.. Ton of knowledge and it is backed up by scripture and not just your opinion... Hard to find that combination nowadays!!! My question is, what are your thoughts about the teaching on the spirit of Jezebel? Now I've studied this for a couple of years now and one scripture that stood out to me was Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. With this scripture being said, how is it possible God allowed Jezebl to be mauled by the dogs correct? She died in the flesh but her spirit still roam the earth wreaking havoc? If that is the case, every evil man and or woman whether they were mentioned in the Bible or not, when they die they spirit is still roaming and they still are allowed to do the same evil they were doing prior to dying.. Right? To teach on the spirit of Jezebel contradicts a lot of scripture, right? I mean Jezebel had a ton of characteristics of almost every demonic unclean spirit there is. These unclean spirits that influenced Jezebel have been around way before man.. So, there is no way possible that her spirit is still around when the above scripture clearly tells us that her body returned to the dust "hence the orginal man created was created from dust which was Adam" and the spirit returns to God whom gave it.. Her spirit went before the Lord to be judged and body laid where it was, or whatever was leftover of it.. The unclean spirits that influenced her are the spirits that are still roaming not her spirit, right or wrong? I've even heard people say the spirt of Ahab, the spirit of Herod. The Abraham spirit, the spirit of Joseph etc.. The list goes on

Marlene Fearon I like that response!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I ❣it!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Lol

Yes!👍🏼

Mine is mermaid.. when they say " that doesn't even exist" ..I'm like .." neither does yours 😄

✋

Sadly I have to raise my hand and hang my head in shame 😨

I said 2 good and luck

Michele McDaniel Even though you are actively attacking people so are religious for no damn reason. Another atheist crazy. Ew.

Unfortunately, I have said “good luck” multiple times bc it’s mostly non Christian friends i speak to... I repent.. sorry Heavenly Father..

Angeline Hatcher that's a really good point

Psalms 103* that Brother Parr is AMAZING 🤗

saved oh sis trust the Lord and have faith! You're single, beautiful, love the Lord, and no kids! Enjoy this time and still keep that desire for marriage at the same time! Start working on forgiveness, humbleness, and communication because you'll need it when God sends that husband. Even Allen wasn't married until he was 40. Stay faithful and become frustrated. Cry. Then laugh, then complain and then ask for forgiveness and do it all over again. Of course I'm not literally telling you do these things in this order but I know how you feel because I was there 2 years ago and I'm still there now even though I've been in a 2 year godly relationship. Now I'm frustrated that he didn't propose yet lol so even after a relationship, it'll be another reason Satan tries to steal your joy but God is faithful even when we're not. So I just lean on Him at all times. And that's the best thing we can do along with a lot of prayer of course

Actually you do, someday. God just chose not to give your rewards right now.

How's gravity blasphemous? That's something real.

@@Strongtower The law of attraction!

They dont talk about gravity, LOA is when you attract blessings, making yourself God, its against the Bible

I relate to this! Those things and worrying about keeping my “manifestation” process a secret from others brought me so much anxiety!

*From someone who is still striving for patience, thank you for this* 😁

Thank u

1,2 and 4

Thank you

Im.guilty of 7th.. because i am a failure

Yes , good one. So many things I would have changed if I would have prayed and seek God first instead of following my heart or a humans counseling.So right Do not always follow your heart. A heart can be broken if we do not seek God first.

@@kurtcummins8426 you're absolutely right, our friends and loved one's can give bad counsel without even knowing it because their hearts may not be in the right place either

AMEN!!! 🙌 So true, that just shows how people repeat what they think sounds right instead of what is right.

@Tiffany k: The UNREGENERATE heart is deceitful. In Christ we are redeemed and made new. The Spirit resides within those in Christ and will not lead us astray.

YES!! It makes me so mad when professing believers say that!! Jesus never said follow your heart, he said deny yourself!!

Imma you this good one 👏🏼

Nice one

Haha, Imma say that to people when they ask

🤣🤣 Good one!

😂😂😂❗️

That's not blasphemy but using the name of God in vain. Blasphemy is calling yourself god

Michael - YES !! I couldn't agree more. The Lord's name is sacred. Saying, "my God," or "... God ..." is taking the Lord's name in vein. It trivializes the great name of our creator.

Peter V agree 100%

Yes, that phrase should be on that list as well, unless you are genuinely calling on God based on the situation in front you.

God's name isn't God so there's no blasphemy. (Psalms 83:18 KJV)

What if you are tired what are you supposed to say?

@@wateredeggs8198 Say what God says use your sword of the spirit.One thing you can say is Isaiah 40:28-29 “He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.” Speak life!

@@wateredeggs8198 not saying it will be better, or you could say something like: I am tired but I will overcome through Christ" that saying how you feel and actually blessing yourself by adding that strength word to it... God bless you!

Sick or tired has nothing to do with death.

Naman Kumar no, but being cursed with sickness and tiredness can surely lead to death, or a bad and harsh quality of life... God bless you dear one 💚✨

Miriam Cooper I do too.

I do the same thing. I pray that very minute. That way I wont forget.

I do the same. :)

I pray for people, but I never tell them. I don't do it to make them happy. I sometimes tell them afterwards.

@@MrDogsledder that is a good thing. I believe that sometimes though people need to know someone cares enough to pray. Also when people ask for prayers their faith adds to the strength of the prayer. Although doing things without recognition has it's own rewards as well.

Laga Savea You are right but I wonder are they really doing that praying for you, me and other people ? February 16,2021

Ur right on many vlog channels I have seen it and people spamming prayer emojis

I’ve used it a lot lol 😅

hashtagCatholic great point, great rephrase. We should all be thinking these through and planning what’s best to say.

I'm going to pray to God so that I can stop saying stuff like that

Oooo- that's a great way to phrase what I'm (we as Christians are really thinking) THANKFULLY instead of Luckily. Thanks for your post!!

Andy Newman true ...it should be the number 1 on the list..

Actually, that commandment means not to attribute to God things that he didn't do or say. I do think "Oh my God," is disrespectful; along with other expressions and curses that use his name. The cursing might actually qualify as breaking the commandment.

More accurate translation is "shall not carry Gods name in vain", this is doing evil in the name of God. You can say "oh my God" or "GD" is wrong or bad. But it's not in a commandment.

I assumed it would be in there too. Ancient Jews had so much respect for God’s name they would never write it lightly, for fear they would need to cross out something they had written or scrap it in some way, yet here people are throwing it around in a meaningless way, when they aren’t even referring to him. It’s despicable.

The 3rd Commandment is about hypocracy... the ONLY UNFORGIVABLE SIN in the Bible.... Wearing the name of God and causing reproach on Him by our actions. Giving the athiests ammunition to laugh at God.

AMEN, THERE ARE NO GOOD PEOPLE, JESUS SAID THE HEART IF WICKED, WHO CAN KNOW IT

Amen! God is Good all the time and all the time GOD IS GOOD! :D

"wish" you the best is the same as good "luck". Praise and Glory to the Most High and may He continue to bless Allen for getting the conversation started.

So true!!!

@@tommysingleton2881 what about 3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

@@First2561class God bless you and thank you for your reply. However, the kjv says "wish" , while other translations say "Pray" . Wish means to feel or express a strong desire or hope for something in the dictionary , which also is written in English text. Pray means address a solemn request (to GOD.) So, if Matthew 18:9 says : and if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than have two eyes and be cast into hell fire., A lot of "US" 😀, would be without one , or two physical eyes 😁. We must PRAY and SEEK the LORD in SPIRIT and TRUTH, not just theology of knowledge, wisdom is the principal thing. May the MOST HIGH Bless your study.😁

AMEN. I thought the same thing when he said it.

Supreme Steph Great point. That saying would completely undermine the demonstration of God’s grace in scripture in regards to justified believers For while we were *still helpless* , at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:6-8 NAS95)

You have an active part in your relationship with God. Don’t forget about that. God can only meet you where you are.

God can't help those who don't help himself because if God helps people who's not helping them self then he's doing it for them not helping them

Nathan Pierce and Michael. I am not debating or arguing against the need for personal responsibility. But if you take your positions as a universal statement about the character of God then you would have to throw out God’s work of redemption of lost sinners. Remember one of brother’s Allen points in this video is that God does not give us what we deserve; we all deserve justice NOT mercy and grace. Are you providing biblical responses about the character of God or simply pragmatic responses? But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; (Eph. 2:4-8 NAS95)

Exactly that's a misuse line because that is not biblical whatsoever it's not even correct

Yes! I’ve always noticed that the term “Mother Nature” doesn’t get as much commentary as the other words and phrases mentioned in the video. I’ve always thought saying “Mother Nature” was weird and alludes to a type of Earth or “Gaia” worship, where you think all things in nature have their own spirits. I think that’s called “Zoroastrianism” but I may be wrong. Sort of like how Native Americans believe that everything has a spirit force or something like that. Definitely secular but also pagan.

@@historymajor26 or the universe or "thank the stars" lol

My mom STILL says that. Smh. I wonder where that came from. Old wives tale I guess.

Yes- & what about ppl who are handicapped in some way that keeps them from cleaning like they want to but cant? Good point! Thanks to you (& your friend) for the heads up. I want show this to MY mom next time I see her.

amen

Yeah! It’s just common place absolutely everywhere nowadays !

Yes i agree. It didn't bother me before conversion. But NOW, it pierces my soul like an arrow when people take the Lord's name in vain.😬

Can't it mean "oh my goodness"....

@@miltonmcclain7371 yeah, maybe

Well doesn’t he help those who help themselves ?? Isn’t that equivalent to putting in the work required for faith without it works is dead ?

@@thebossupacademy7261 I couldn't help myself if I tried. Jesus loved (loves) me and saved me. I didn't aid myself. It was His Spirit drawing me, and Jesus saved me

i agree but disagree at the same time because it is a sanctification process we're all works in progress

Sanctification is a process though, a life long one...

Slam HaXor I always took using the Lords name in vain is not giving a false account on behalf of God. For example, going up to a woman and telling her that God told me she would be my wife when He clearly didn’t.

Um No you are wrong. Gods name is God. His name is also Jesus and I Am and savior and Jehovah and Yahweh etc. and look at the contex king David was praying to God when he said “Oh my God”why is your mind so closed you cannot see the difference between saying “Oh my God” when praying and saying “Oh my God” when your mad and want to curse and instead of using a four letter curse word you take the Holy name of God who is the creator of all? very truly I tell you whose ever put that idea in your head is a devil, you must repent “ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exo 20:7

Um No I’m not pride full but you take things out of context. The Bible makes it clear that there is only one true God. It doesn’t matter wether you believe in many Gods, their all fake there’s only 1 true God. Now many Jewish people (Pharisees) did not even write the word “God” because they deemed themselves unworthy. They spelled it as “G-D” now try telling them that God is simply a title. Your lucky you live in this era my friend 😂 God had pitty on you. You would have most likely been stoned to death, but aye keep taking thinking as you please, The Bible says let them who are just still be just and them who are unjust be unjust still, how unjust that God himself was crucified for your behalf and you think it’s okay to use his Holy name (or title) 😊as a replacement for a filth word or simply to use it when your surprised, you have no idea how much it lowers Gods name in their mind when they do that. Gods name is to only be called upon when you pray, ask for help or give thanks other than that keep it out from your vocab. Now you know the truth, let your blood be upon your own hands. I pray you change how you think my friend.

If you read the full commandment in context, it is clearly talking about throwing His holy name around and not being intentional about it. Absolutely it includes using His names as slang... Even omg... But it is also true when we sing hymns and say His name without thought or reverence. He is just that holy! And yes His name is God because He is the only God. He also has many other names...

darnell pistachio so your saying that saying “oh my God” as a replacement for a curse word is okay? Man there’s something wrong with you for real, you wouldn’t use your mothers name instead of a curse word what makes you think saying “God” is okay. No wonder why he doesn’t answer most prayers.

George Rios best to leave quotes like that out especially when Star Wars is filled with superstitions like "the force"

@@yohlahGo i get your point, but if someone doesn't know how to compartmentalize star wars and real life, that's kinda their issue.

Texas Hoosier Its a pagan sign as well...

Jesus died. . .but not on a cross / no cross beams were involved / he died on one pole (Stauros) it's Greek!!!

GoldCoastBeauty we just finished studying the minor prophet Habakkuk. Such a powerful passage!

But the Word tells us that what comes out of our mouth matters.... It's great to have good intentions with a courteous response, but it is even more important to say exactly what you mean.

I’m sorry Lindy, I’m not actually religious, so maybe I just wouldn’t understand.

@@natalieelskamp03 I'm a chridtian but in all honesty when other Christian's go on about this type of minuscule stuff it drives me nuts. We completely miss the point of Jesus. Me I just live, i say what i mean, sometimes I'm blunt and other times I'm not. I believe strongly like you said it's all about intention. If God is so grand, larger than this universe do you really think hes going to freak out over us saying well karma got them etc.. yes I am careful what I say, I think jesus was more concerned with hurtful words. How he compares the tounge to the rudder on a ship. When we are cruel with intention to bring mallace is when things go bad. I cant see a demon waiting going oh man, I missed my chance to attack cuz joey didn't say karma, dammit he needed to say karma for me to go after him. Just my opinion and what I see in Jesus

I like and agree with your way of viewing it, Andrew.

The judging thing really gets me. I'm not a judge I am not sitting in a judiciary position. Weren't those who sat in judgement of Mary told by Jesus that those without sin should cast the first stone? I was once told that Jesus said the whole Bible can be reduced to 2 commandments (Matthew 22: 37-40) "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind... and you shall love your neighbor as you love yourself" this is how we practice the truth.

LOL so racist (jk)

I thought the same thing! Lol

Try not to call people Mr., or Mister. It is derived from Master. Jesus said not to call people Master. Matthew 23:8-10 "[8] But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. [9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. [10] Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ." I struggle with not calling my dad by the title of Dad, so I don't condemn you for calling people by the title, but please try to stop. Thank you.

Andrew I use to tell my kids not to call me father. But I am their earthly father. I am not to call priests father. Because there are no priests anymore.

@@defendingthefaith.7889 Good job on not calling priests Father, but remember, Jesus said any man on Earth, including our earthly fathers.

Andrew I do struggle with it. But I think of it like. That’s my dad. Not my God. I do t know.

@@defendingthefaith.7889 Well, I encourage you not to call anyone or gave anyone call you Dad, or such. I'd also like to link you this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wOc4vb0lvPs.html It talks about a commandment of Jesus that has been universally forsaken. Please, watch the video and accept the teaching. We can talk about the video after you watch it if you'd like, of course, Lord willing.

I think that is taken out of context or misunderstood at times. How is it that horrible, horrible crimes are committed against children, elderly, etc. They didn't sow seeds to reap that. What about cancer in babies who haven't sown any seeds. What about people who faithfully follow God? Or people who gossip, lie, slander, kill, cheat, steal and still have a good life?

@@torrihoward9729 REALLY??!????!! WH0DA THUNK

@mike G Easter doesn't have such an origin, bud. Only that name does. It's a *Hebrew* festival converted into a Christian one. The Feast of the Passover is in the Torah. The events of the Passion and Resurrection are linked to that, if you recall. Now, as to the birth, well, that *was* originally Yule. We'd be guessing about birth date without some evidence for a census around that time. The key to recall is this: Follow your conscience and any applicable divine rules given. Paul says in Romans that some esteem certain days as holy to God and act accordingly. Others choose others and it's not our place to judge another's servant. (a valid time to employ "it's not my place to judge") The spiritual person should learn not to care about details like specific dates. The question of right and wrong has to look at the intent, which is beyond us excepting each of us respecting ourselves, and any sins in the celebrating. (Marti Gras et Al is are good examples of "religious" excuses. Halloween is without any justification as it celebrates the return of the dead and such. They slapped a pseudo justification on it, claiming The next day was especially holy, and I'll argue that any such lie serves the father of lies more than the Holy One, so that's something to purge from any celebration.) Your question actually fits the principles involving sacrifices to idols rather completely. Is it wrong to worship and/or sacrifice to idols? Yes. (With potential caveats for obeying other laws. See Namaan and Elijah) Is it right to worship God? Clearly. Is it right to worship God on a date that others worship idols? Still obviously yes. Is it wrong to celebrate God when other people are celebrating something else? If it's obvious who you're worshipping and you avoid doing anything wrong, that's not much of a question, is it? The only grey areas I see are if there's any chance to be misinterpreted as approving of sin. If such things trouble you, not only should you avoid it, but true believers that know of your vulnerability should accommodate your spiritual growth. Just don't mistake that as superior piety, either direction. That's making the error of inappropriate judgment.

@mike G They are pagan holidays that were re-purposed by Constantine and the Catholic Church. This does not make it okay for us to participate in them. That's like taking a ouiji board and then saying instead of dead people we can talk to angels or even Jesus. It doesn't work that way. You are still in error if you use that board and the source stays the same, whether we want it to believe that or not.

No waaaay!! Wow!!!

'Wish" you the best is the same as good "luck".

Viviana Aguilera thank youuuu!!!!!! It’s not all about God’s grace and mercy. You will reap what you sow whether it’s good or bad.

Wait, but didnt the video guy say you dont reap what you sow? Another woman in the comments said the book of Job proves this.

@@LouisFGraham the idea here is that there are times in our lives that good and bad things happen that just seem undeserved/unfair/unearned. As for whatever seeds you do plant though yes you will eventually reap its harvest.

LouisFGraham There's a difference, in one case you reap what you sow and in other satan tried to test Job and God allowed it...BUT if you think about it even in the hard moments Job was going through, he still didn't blaspheme the Lord's name which is what satan wanted...even in difficult times he was sowing his faith and did not turn away from God and in the end he reaped twice as much as what he had in the beginning...God honors those who honor him! :) I hope you understand this explanation

That's talking about preachers telling lies people. *Read The Damn Book Other Than That One Scripture Taken Out Of It.* How the hell you know what it's talking about when It's been removed out of its story? IMPOSSIBLE! How these DEACONS OF THE DEVIL Fool All Of You EVERY SUN DAY!

Why was he on the mount? *HE TOOK ALL OF THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE CHURCH AND TOLD THEM NOT TO GO BACK!* NOW do you know why they HUNG HIM FROM A TREE? LYNCHED! (only two places written in the bible that he was hung from a tree!) *See What You Miss When You Don't Read The Entire Story?* WAIT UNTIL YOU LEARN WHAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION REALLY SAYS! *You have the Bible!* Read The Entire Stories!

Yes! I agree. It's an excuse that will only do us harm.

Miranda Loves Food Great point. Someone’s awareness of God’s meticulous understanding of their heart should not be lead to passivity or complacency about sinful behavior but growing guilt as they begin to understand the implications. Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts. (Prov. 21:2 NAS95) “The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; *Who can understand it* (Jer. 17:9 NAS95) For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, *God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus* (Rom. 2:14-16 NAS95)

so true

That’s so true😩

That's a good one too Miranda however I never used that phrase but I hear it all the time.
