@@twalathrasher7521 i think its wrong to poison your children with christian comedy, but i guess its better than throwing them onto a piece of protruding rebar, or forcing them to eat glass. "HE IS RISEN" thats a joke.
It’s nice to see a nice clean comedian who’s loves Jesus, and I like how true he is about cursing. It’s so sad that cursing is natural, well, just like any other sin. I know we’re all guilty of it, but there’s a big difference between it slipping out and saying it just because.
I like how he preaches while giving comedy... he's indirectly teaching people how to reign in life through the abundance of grace (accepting him despite his stinkyness) and the gift of righteousness ( you cannot do anything, just believe)
I LOVE THIS...because I'm a Christian comic and I keep it real in my comedy. People who don't go to church anymore come to hear me share comedy and plant the word. I love this calling...
As a standup I usually don't care for "clean" comedy but this was actually very clever. Personally my act is really dirty but it's nice to see a comedian who shows "clean" does not have to mean boring.
The middle finger comes from archer days. To pull back the bow requires mid. finger and ring finger and thumb. They would cut off the archer mid. finger and would walk by, mocking them by raising theirs. Like "look what I got". It was an insult, not a curse word.The sixties, supposedly, is where it started to mean beep-blank. Originally, it was an insult for sure.
It says in Ephesians '4 : 29' says 'Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.' Meaning Jesus doesn't want us to commit a verbal atrocity.
Yes, but words themselves are not inherently evil. I can say the nicest thing on the planet about you in the most condescending way possible and it would be an insult. It's about intent not what you actually say
@@golfer435 Yep,totally agree and learning to be authentic with my brothers even if it includes curse words flying around at times isn't wrong and actually develops trust that we can actually "build one another up"
I agree; it's sad that so many that proclaim the name of Christ don't live the message of God. I don't blame you for leaving. If I were unsaved and saw church after church preaching the word and then living just like the world, I'd leave too. But I thank God that He blessed me with growing up with multiple church families that not only preaches the Word, but they live it! I rejoice that I was able to repent of my sins and live for Him. I still make mistakes but I repent.
The middle finger came from English Archers. When an archer was captured and they knew he was an archer they cut off his middle finger so he could no longer shoot his bow. So if an archer was ever undiscovered and or set free they showed the middle finger as an act of defiance that they were an archer and could still kill you.
No, it is not correct according to Snopes "Despite the lack of motion pictures and television way back in the 15th century, the details of medieval battles such as the one at Agincourt in 1415 did not go unrecorded. Battles were observed and chronicled by heralds who were present at the scene and recorded what they saw, judged who won, and fixed names for the battles. These heralds were not part of the participating armies, but were, as military expert John Keegan describes, members of an "international corporation of experts who regulated civilized warfare." Several heralds, both French and English, were present at the battle of Agincourt, and not one of them (or any later chroniclers of Agincourt) mentioned anything about the French having cut off the fingers of captured English bowman."
That sounds more like those things people make up, I that thought 3 seconds about it came to the conclusion that we use the middle finger because is the only one that allows you to do the balls ( I dont know if you realize but the middle finger really symbolizes a dick, in my country we dont even say giving the middle finger but we say "doing the dick").
I saw Mr. Stine live once. Made me laugh so hard my sides hurt. Very few people have done that. I think he has a gift. That being said, I do not think calling people a bunch of vipers is cursing. He compared them to an animal that had sneaky behavior. If I said “you guys act like a bunch of dogs" it would be offensive but not a curse word. Still, I like his skill.
I can't believe there are people in the comments who are saying this isn't funny. This is one of my favorite comedy videos _ever_. I keep coming back to it over the years because it's just that dang good. Heck, Stine is better than most comedians out there.
@@martinkuliza Haha, fair enough. This set is very much aimed at people who grew up in Christian households, and I understand how it wouldn't hit the same for people that doesn't apply to. It should be pointed out that my comment was from 8+ years ago. I'm no longer a Christian and I very much disagree with some of the things Brad has said in recent years. All that said, I just rewatched the video, and it's gold as it ever was. I still reference the _gesture_ "GUESS!" to my friends sometimes. It's such a good joke.
Kids don't obey their biological (or step) parents and are really upset when their lied too, they still have trust left. Kids are curious and full of wonder (which doesn't have to go away) so stories really intrigue them. Birds have hollow bones and feathers which helps them fly. That's real. Then we get to be teenagers don't obey the always right watching you all the time whether you see them or not who say it's for your safety... And then the representatives make claims on behalf of an invisible man who happens to be the most prevalent god in that state, territory or country. The ones that do know how the system works (which is good) and figure it out (or bend). Imagine the popularity of sun gods if we were aware of matter and stardust when it was popular. By the time we're adults we so much information and we've started a life we're the main focus in. Misinformation or tested/peer reviewed researched information and we can get involved in either. We can build a house, become a scientist, watch comedians/anime/news, we can be the people involved in that. As a species we could blow up the planet, maybe we'll terraform a new one (or many). There may be a god that became like us but was hydrogen in the beginning (although the consciousness involved is astronomically unlikely) making first steps like terraforming which literally means earth shaping. Don't feel shit because you aren't someone else. I'm more on the Futurama type deal. That's one of the few cartoons without an all powerful god(I'm an atheist). Professor Farnsworth witnessed evolution he put in motion but he also saw multiple exact same universes die out and be reborn in 2 big bangs. Did you know a star explodes which results in the beginning of a new galaxy every 100 years? But because there are so many stars a astronomy expert can see three per night.
Shannon Kennedy yes because obedience follows salvation. Not salvation follows obedience. You think your obedience is good enough to justify you from your own sin?
Honestly, I don't have a problem with most "swear" words. I'm selective as to which ones I use, and I remain sensitive to the people I speak to and the places I'm in. It's all about respecting other people's views. I'll never cuss around my family because they themselves don't cuss. Now using God's name in vain is just plain wrong. That's where I draw the line.
The Christian life: Justified Sinners meaning we fall short of the glory of God but because of what Jesus Christ did, we stand blameless and justified before God
I love this guy first time i ever heard this Man was in Fresno at the Promise Keepers Convention at the Save Mart Center ... It was packed with People /Christians from all denominations even Judeo-Christian maybe even other folks but it was packed with Men and some women and he had the place on fire it was great !!! I loved it ...
Amen and thank you! Finally some Spiritual thinking in this place!!! Dear brother or sister, I'm glad that you can see the contradiction of being like-minded with the Father and calling someone an SOB if they "really deserved it" like some people calling themselves christians are claiming that it wouldn't be so bad to do...and yet this is only an outburst. How much worse would be stoning someone for "really deserving it" by not agreeing with your views. The Good God loves all mankind.
Surprising that this actually made me laugh several times. Nowadays this guy just screams furiously at the top of his lungs for an hour at a time at the fact that the world is changing.
Also, for those who asked why one word was worse than another: One word can describe it in a baser manner than the other and it seems to be about perspective too. Also, I want to add that when I got saved, Jesus helped me clean up my language pretty quick and when I was moving a couch and tore my big toe nail off, I did not curse. Later, when I wrecked my motorcycle, I was able to call out on the name of God to help me and I'm so glad a curse word is not what popped into my mind first.
The 5 finger prayer. Have you read the prayer? The middle finger is to remind you to pray for the authorities above us. So left up those middle fingers and tell everyone that we are praying for our authorities.
That is true, and it even relates it to servitude in the scripture. It is a question of whether I want to be selfish, and serve myself, and my personal desires, or if I choose to try lay myself down, and serve others before myself. I believe, what I as a Christian am called to do, is to Accept, Love, and Serve, God, my community, and fellow Christians. So, yes, I do lay down my own desires, that I may have at times, and place those callings first.
I’ve never seen a Christian comedian before. I thought this would be kinda lame, but I laughed harder from this guy than a good number of secular comedians. It’s guilt free. Love it.
LOL - you make it sound as if "God bless you" is a bad thing to say to me when the intentions are clearly positive. People say "God Bless" all the time to me at work, my friends say it too. Its nice, and appreciated. Thank you. My best wishes to you too.
I have a friend who told me this story to explain where the middle finger thing came from: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=PLUCK%20YOU Also, cursing is relative. Apparently it's perfectly acceptable to say "damn" from the pulpit in Australian churches. The word isn't as strong as Americans consider it.
If you go to a "church" that doesn't say "damn" or "damned" from behind the pulpit, then perhaps the good news is not be predicated upon the bad news. Meaning that if you reject the good news, then you are damned. I realize the context you used is different than I used, but as I understand your point I hope you also understand my point. God bless.
No one should call anyone an "idiot" because it's sinful to do so. God created great people. Some of them go astray so it's the Christians' jobs to bring them to Christ. A Keep in mind that there are wicked ones called the seed of the serpent also who are so evil that they promote immorality in the society and corrupt systems. May God bless Former indoctrinated atheist, saved by Christ and His children.
sorry but some people are an idiot, you see em, wasting time doing nothing, mostly young people, they ar ehired to do a JOB, and dont do anything, sorry but they are idiots, being PAID to do nothing. wasting time and resources, effort by others, sorry pal we got alot of IDIOTS.
Mary Mount it seems given the personal information on your G+ page that you are the one with a drug problem indeed. Academy of jelqing? And a profile pic of a woman? Get a life, other than the meaningless existence of being an internet -coward- troll.
all figured out...I just choose to be knowledgeable about my relationship with God, knowing that I will have to explain it to other non believers someday. One thing I do know, is that I believe you will become my Brother in Christ and I love you and will continue to pray for you. May God continue to bless you and your family and keep his hand of protection over you. I enjoyed our debate over this matter.
Maybe my mother should watch this.....because she got sorely displeased when I said "holy crud"..............REALLY?!?!? holy crud is an offensive word? You drop f-bombs and say just about every other profanity in the dictionary and holy CRUD is an offensive word!? *SIGHS* whatever.
Holy: Dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred. Crud: A substance that is disgusting or unpleasant, typically because of its dirtiness. I think it's pretty obvious.
Arthur Kirkland If you want to hear hate of cigarettes, ask an ex-smoker. There's a reason half the New Atheist crusaders were raised evangelicals. But not many evangelicals seem to be former atheists. Maybe 'cos there's just not many former atheists about.
Right well just so you know I do find your comment offensive because I love rock and I listen to Christian rock a few times it's not bad and well can't answer the sex one never done it :P
Sounds like you have a teaching gift. I just learned last week that people born with the gift of teaching usually have a great sense of humor. Is that why you are trying to teach me something? Good stuff, but I already knew that. Hehe. I pray you find some new Christians to disciple. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Haha!
I remember being told, it is not wise to stand & argue with an fool, because someone looking on, might not be able to tell the difference in who is the knowledgeable one & who is the fool.
First time I have seen this guy. I love him. He speaks things I think/say every single day. I do not , however hide anything in the bible from my children. I don't think anyone should. Especially these days. They are going to face horror and hardship in this world. I think they need to begin to understand the bible very early.
P. Smith I would think the best way to teach someone about suffering and hardship in life is to tell them to work hard and deal with the problems HEAD-ON. I don't see how teaching them about a myth which may or may not be true is helping. You're just giving them an emotional blanket to hide from the truth. I prefer to teach kids to deal with their problems directly, rather than give them a placebo and say "oh don't worry, there is a magical daddy looking out for you!" When life gets you down, you deal with it and GET BACK UP. MAN-UP.
Sean Armstrong I understand your point, from your point of view. But even as a non-believer, you read bedtime stories to your children, and they see shows like the little mermaid, maleficent, beauty and the beast, the princess and the frog, not to mention all the Grims bros fairy tales. So I put the question to you, what is the difference, for you; (obviously for me it does mean something), but, what's the difference between reading the "fairy tale" bible and reading Grims Bros? Someting the Bible says, that a lot of non-believers either don't know about or choose to ignore is a passage that talks about us, as followers of Jesus, having a very hard time in life and being persecuted unfairly. So anyone who trys to tell you that christians hide behind God the Father, is full of crap. We know what we are in for. The only difference is, our reasoning for getting back up, and climbing back out of the hole that life dumps us in sometimes, is knowing that eventually, everything will be fine in the end. And one thing that a true Christian, (and there are a lot of icky people soiling that name), and a non-believer can agree on is, if there is actually no God, then death is really the end and it won't matter. Personally I would rather live my life seeking Jesus, and then die and find that he is not real, than to live life serving myself, only to die and end up face to face, andswering to Him. In the words of Westley, from The princess Bride, "life is pain".
P. Smith I totally understand. I am from a Christian family and I was raised as a Christian. The biggest problem I see from many Christians is they end up getting lazy and not taking actions to solve their own problem. For example - last month, a Christian friend of mine had trouble finding a job. He told me "oh I've been praying to God so hard but there is no job offer!" And I asked him "well, instead of praying, how many job applications did you actually send out?" And he said "two". And i was like "well, maybe instead of praying, you should probably spend more time sending out those job applications!" I'm sure that if God is real, he would want us to take actions with our own life. Simply laying on the couch, praying to God for magical help isn't going to solve anything. Problems in life get solved by tackling it, not by praying about it. (not saying you shouldn't pray at all...but life is about balance...if u get my point)
Sean Armstrong I'm sorry, but that's killer funny. It's likekthe guy that prayed and prayed to win the lottery but never bought a ticket! LOL But yes, we have to get off our asses just like everyone else.
slimak lol you know what? I have respect for you. You're not the kind of atheist who seems angry and bitter and just push out Christians and everything we do. I'm glad that you respect us as we respect your decision to be an atheist. I salute you on that.
I am truly not all thanks to God. I think one should always pray for wisdom and dicernment. Also, how can we love our neighbor, just like He commanded, if we can't respect our neighbor? Plus, I love science and how I can be in awe of my Creator. Of course, it is always important to analyze a piece of data before accepting or rejecting it.
he fulfilled the law, he brought to a close many of the prophesies of the Old testament, he even died for us. He took all God's judgement and punishment for all of mankind, nailed to a cross, whipped, and still cried out "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." God did love everyone, but he is also just, so to bring grace he provided a perfect sacrifice, so that he could reconcile himself with man.
One time, a man cut me off, and I shouted at him, but I didn't say anything traditional. From out of the depths of my mind, I said, "You dunder-butt!" Immediately, I was proud, and slightly amused. I still dust that off every now and again.
I read a comment that referenced James 2:17-26, "a just believe faith is dead".The commentor miss-interpreted. The Bible says "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead...17 You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe and shudder 19...His faith (Abraham's - refer to 21) and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 22" NIV. This passage means that if you believe your actions should re-affirm your belief.
Bianca Pizarro That is funny. Not quite sure why you're telling me this though.To say everything came from nothing, implies that there was nothing before the big bang. Nobody is saying that because nobody knows what came before the big bang. So what are you talking about?
LOL!!!! What kind of a God would deny a man a BLT" This Jew couldnt agree more!. The only difference between he and I is that I just took it a step further: Why bother to believe in God at all?
why because the only things you think are funny are sex and vulgar language? you have a very limited sense of humor. all secular comedians are the exact same, cursing, racism and sexual jokes. if that's all you think is funny then your mind is perverted
Only if you define Christianity as boring (which it isn't), and comedy as having to use, as Daniel Hooper says, vulgar language or dirty topics to be funny.
If you don't have the talent to be a successful band, come out as Christian and you'll have a built in audience. I guess the same thing works for comedy. This guy is painfully unfunny. He's Tom Roades bad. This guy sucks on a level I've never seen. Jim Gaffigan is a Christian and he's hilarious so it's not a slam against Christians. It's a slam against unfunny comedians that latch onto a nitch and people show up because they're supposed to.
Marcus Sowinski It depends on whether or not you define being a Christian as "being a follower of Christ". The Roman Catholic church teaches that you have to 'work' (by doing things they claimed the Bible says you must do) to 'earn' being saved from death. Bath then, they could get away with doing that because the general public had no access to the Bible. In contrast, the Bible teaches that eternal life is a free gift to those who believe that Christ is the son of God and that He volunteered to die as us (to save us from the death sentence we've all earned), and that He was resurrected. So, to some people, Christianity is anything that carries the label "Christian" (it sounds like you fall into that category). There are also "Biblical Christians", i.e. Christians who believe that 'following Christ' means paying attention to what Christ said and did, rather than "the traditions of men" - today we call that Religion - Jesus himself was against the 'religion' of His day (see Mark 7:8). BTW, the Protestants were protesting that the Roman Catholics were not following what the Bible said. This could only happen after the invention of the printing press, when lots of people could read the Bible for themselves. It's a bit like telling a population with no access to Shakespeare's works that Romeo & Juliet were famous explorers who invented scissors. The people would have no choice but to believe that, because they can't verify it for themselves.
albyboy24 This guy is naturally funny not funny with very "smart jokes" but what he is trying to do is more preaching with humor than simply making people laugh, I think that is his biggest aim and I admire that.
I certainly agree to the facts I've a cursing mouth and I'm not habitual angry, however I mess up sometimes and curse usually at the circumstances before the person who's annoying me! Being a Christian without the Holy Spirit I know I would be cursing all the time!!
Among my friends, we do use a Christian curse phrase. Raisin cakes. If you, understandably, don't get it, try Hosea 3:1 NESV. We don't know what is so bad about raisin cakes, but if it was so significant that God spoke of them in the same breath as breaking Commandment #2, it works as an insider curse for us!
I hit my left thumb with a 3 lb sledge in 1973. Trying to get a hinge pin out of a diamond rio hood. My thumb was resting on the bumper and when I swung that hammer to hit the punch that I was holding against the pin, I completely missed and hit my thumb. I dropped the punch and 3 lb hammer and grabbed my thumb. My boss was beside me and saw what happened. He looked at me and asked, "aren't you going to say anything ". I looked at him and through my clenched teeth I said, "that hurt".
Obviously I'm not going to give personal details in a public forum. The short version is: my young daughter was diagnosed with frostbite on both feet. E.R. Dr.'s consulted each other and informed me the damage was so severe they had to amputate. They agreed to wait until morning but assured me it was the only option. I requested a prayer chain from Christian friends and prayed myself. Come morning Dr's said there was no sign of it, and they couldn't explain what happened. 33yrs later still fine.
