I didn't believe in God for 55 years because of hypocrites that went to church and I thought I was better than them. Thanks to AoC and other RU-vid videos I am trying to live for Christ God bless everyone
I have find my self being Holy then Thy, God is opening my eyes with his word, Jesus’s Blood speaks out, and the Holy Spirit gives me spiritual eyes and ears to hear and see that God created us all. I am learning that the words I speak can help or harm others as well as my self. Don’t judge, ask for wisdom , revelation and discernment in all situation. That the words of Jesus may be lifted up
You got this! Once you start opening up regularly, your asking for forgiveness will flow like butter along with whatever else you need to let God and Christ know through confession.
I’ve dealt with so many Christian’s like her. Like every corner I turned and I eventually turned away from Christianity. I was being harassed at every corner. But recently I’ve matured and turned back to Christ I just won’t allow those types to discourage me anymore and I won’t be like them. I have nothing to say about anyone, I also lots of tattoos. I’m imperfect. I just want to live for Christ.
if you aren't perfect you aren't a Christian. You are decieved. Jesus commands us to be perfect and you don't obey this. Be perfect sir and until you are, stop calling yourself a Christian because you aren't. You disgust me hypocrite.
Same but we can share the love of our Father, who gives to us in abundance, by spreading the message of Jesus Christ who's death and Resurrection shows the love of our Father.
I am guilty of many things and that is why I too cannot speak much about the Christ but I am trying my best to do so out of spite of myself, it is time to speak good things about the Christ and his father who sent him. I tell you the day may come where the Christ will say "I did not know you." to me and he would be justified in every way. Even with that looming over my mind in truth, who will i bend my knee to, and who will I pray to? I know no other God and wish not to know them. Either way I think we should try anyway.
@@cosmic4037 hmmm, my kid loves horseback riding. She might never own one or become a jockey... But I love her and to me she's the greatest horseback rider to me.
@@waterpipesheep4439 The resurrection, that we can be considered righteous for putting faith on the Christ, where most fall short of it while under law. That Gods day is near and will do away with this system of things. That we need to repent and remain on a path of endurance and stand up each time we stumble. Hopefully stumbling less as we move along, to attain these blessings.
As a former tarot reader who was raised in the church and returned, this lady is the perfect example of why people look upon "Christians" poorly. If these types are so perfect, they wouldn't need a savior. How many opportunities did she lose to witness in a loving way???
you say " If these types are so perfect, they wouldn't need a savior" --- the lady portrayed is a sinner like you. Sinners aren't Christians. Christians are saved and are perfect. Christians don't sin.
Jesus taught his disciples to not cast pearls before swine, and only God knows who is or isn't swine. So unless you're filling with the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit moves you to speak, it's best to stay quiet.
@@TheFightingSheep just calling sinners to repentance and presenting the gospel is not casting pearls. You can do this without determining if they are swine or not. The pearls would be getting into in depth doctrinal discussions with them.
@@artbyrobot1 Unless the Spirit is leading you in the time and place, what to say and to whom, you are doing it of yourself, by the power of your flesh. Calling sinners to repentance and presenting the gospel is God's work, not men's, you can't do it, only God can do it through you if you walk by faith, in the Spirit.
It's true, when my sins were washed away and I made the active choice not to sin intentionally anymore, after giving my life to Jesus. (I still sin unintentionally and sometimes even without knowing I had sinned.) I found myself to be a lot more compassionate for the people who struggled with what I struggled with. Previously I would judge them, because I know where it leads. But now, I understand that they felt the same way I did and now I can relate with them. I hope the Holy Spirit continues to sway my thoughts and words as I grow older and wiser.
if you never knowingly sin, then no sins are being imputed and you are living holy for God. In that case, you are a spiritual man and are to judge all things. You are to rebuke and reprove others with all long suffering and patient instruction. This video is made for willful sinners like the author of it who is not perfect and therefore can't judge others. Any true Christian is perfect and is commanded to judge others with righteous judgement. If you never sin intentionally, you are no longer a hypocrite and have removed the plank from your eye and are thereby commanded to remove the speck from your brother's eye. The author of this video cannot do this because he's still a sinner. If you never sin intentionally you aren't a sinner but are now a saint and are perfect in Christ which means you keep Jesus' commandment to be perfect.
He means the poor, the sick, and the marginalized in general, not just Christians. We are obligated to care and show concern for "the Least of These". Those who do for them are doing for Christ, and will go to their "reward", but those who do not are not doing for Christ, and will go to their "eternal punishment". These verses confirm precisely what Christ meant: Proverbs 14:21, Proverbs 14:31, Mark 10:21, 1 Timothy 6:18, James 2:14-17, Proverbs 31:8-9....there are others.
If you are a Christian - meaning you are perfect in Christ - then the most loving thing you can do is call out sinners like the girl in this video did. Since she was not a Christian, she did this hypocritically and had no place to judge others. The plank was still in her eye. A Christian does not have a plank in their eye and is therefore commanded to now remove the specks from the eyes of others like this girl was doing.
The way she spoke to that homeless man made me so sad. Man, we as believers can act so self righteous. I am a blood bought believer but have a family member who can be as graceful as sand paper and I hate it. I can only imagine how we as believers can make others feel.
And God made all in 6 days and all was good..... and then there was a period of a day when God was not required to make you the man he made you to be,... at that point you fell!! If you rest then you are not worthy, for as Jesus said, my father is always working.
This video is beautifully done . As Christians we have to actively live for Christ . That means loving our neighbors and treating them like the humans they are , and not the sins that we see . The more we show up for them and learn how to build relationships , that’s what ultimately will draw them to want to know Christ. Our lives are to be examples for the next person so that they can know and learn how to love Christ and others . Seriously, great job on this video !! 🎉
Loved the video !! That is exactly what pushed me away from Christianity !! 😂❤ Luckily, I called on Him when things got bad in my life. Then, a personal relationship and answered prayers started in an extreme fashion, it seemed. 😂 He saved me from the hell I was in.. and totally changed me and started answering prayers so clearly. (or I started seeing the answers) ❤
That is exactly the same experience I had as well. Grew up in jehovahs witnesses, left at age 17 for living with my boyfriend who i later married. Wandered 40 years, being worldly, then was struck with terrible mold illness that put me on my knees. Praise God, for answering my prayer, healing me, and saving me!! I love my KJV, and read it as much as possible. AoC does a nice job showing truth in Gods word. Dr Charles Stanley also helped saved me too. Bless you all. 💖
Good message! It is hard not to judge others when we have overcome a specific sin and see others engaging in it. I’m guilty of having those kinds of thoughts. However, it’s also not good to condone or sit silently watching someone self destruct. I guess coming along side someone and forming a relationship, confessing our own struggles, while encouraging positive change is my thought. I have much to work on myself!
Breaks my heart when I see the homeless, feel helpless that I can't help enough. Thanks for this video, I wish ppl that can't love others despite their sin would stop claiming to represent Christ...I've heard too often how ppl dont accept God because these are the kind of ppl they've encountered in the church. When you make friends with other sinners, they are more likely to open up to you and you can help.
Many Christians don't realize that we aren't supposed to judge the world. We are to love them and show that we belong to Christ by our love for one another. We are, however, supposed to judge those in the church (iron sharpens iron) so we can all learn and grow closer in our walk with God. Great video! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Find that in the Bible. Yes, we are supposed to be loving towards people, but not their sin. The Bible says to judge righteous judgement. (John 7:24) Love doesn’t not equal tolerance. Preach love yes, but also preach repentance.
I feel as though being an ambassador of Christ can sometimes be as simple as being set apart living in the world but not being apart of it. If we carry ourselves in a loving set apart way people may take notice and ask why are we able to keep calm in certain situations or ask why we don’t participate in certain activities and then that’s when we will have an opportunity to introduce the gospel to them in a loving way and they may become interested in wanted to experience the Joy we’re experiencing through having Christ in our lives.
Jesus always was a good example but He spoke the truth to all people in Love because He is Love and what Love it Is WOW we are here for such a time as this take up your cross and always follow Jesus Yeshua home time is running out Jesus is Coming soon be ready repent we all sin and fall short be in Jesus 24/7 humbly we come to our Father God in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit only no flesh is allowed in God’s presence because He is Holy and we must be Holy too in His son we are Hallelujah and Amen Relationship Fellowship with God WOW it is awesome to know Him for yourself and we all can God’s Children His Sheep His Bride the true Church of believer’s the redeemed blood bought over comer’s in Jesus Yeshua!!!!!!!!
Same! Just living a completely different life then everyone,looking,acting,talking,and thinking differently then the world invites people to always ask questions
@@MikiDoodleMom yes living and moving and having our being in the Father, God Almighty, the Great I AM, the I AM that I AM, Jesus Christ/Yeshua Messiah and the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit. We will be learning, doing and understanding all God has planned for us all His Children who say Abba Father Sheep not Goats we belong to Jesus not the world nor satan/devil we are and can reign in Glory in Jesus Yeshua and in Jude 20 but you beloved building yourself on your most Holy Faith praying in the Holy Ghost Jude 21 Keep yourself in the Love of God looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. We all need God’s love that agape love that only comes from God pick up your cross and follow Jesus All the way Home it is a death to self alive in Them the Father Son and Holy Spirit!!!!!!!!!
Good, nice video. So - to go maybe, a little deeper here... how many fulfilled, John 14:14, also? And I express some additional concern, here... Since if there has ever been, a failure, of Discernment... to avert major sectarian splits, let alone, sizable, past sectarian conflicts... Then judging outsiders, may not rest, on the firmest of basis, it once had.@@aocnetwork
AoC Network I am very humbled by this video's message. While I am not like that person that openly judges others in this video representation, I admit I do think or judge others in my head sometimes about others and what they do. Still, I sometimes make similar mistakes or choices in life that others might question ME about. So, thank you for helping me open my eyes even more. Thank you.
Great video, we forget all to soon that Jesus didn't hang out with righteous people, and even in his own words he said "I have not come to save the righteous, but to save sinners".
As a Christians attempting to walk in his ways, we at one time or another did was this young lady did! We are all a work in progress that started when we each met and accepted christ as our personal savior. I know I am in no way perfect like our Lord Jesus Christ. the cool thing to me is when we listen and learn from the holy spirit and GOD's word we grow and move forward according to his purpose. we did not choose him, he chose us! Thank you AOC for this channel and platform!
If not in our words, then most definitely in our hearts. I want to say it's a part of human nature, but I am unsure if it is or if it's a common character flaw to be overly judgmental like the lady in the video. God bless you.
Terrific job in this production! It really sank in towards the end. It honestly felt like sitting in a good Church on Sunday for over an hour and walking out recalibrated 🙏✝️😇
What a perfect time for this message! The actions in this video is exactly why I haven't been in a church for many years! I love Jesus! I also have known since I was a child that we are not perfect, & if we were able to be perfect then we wouldn't need, nor seek Jesus! Great message!
i say this with the love of Christ to you - you’re not in church because you don’t want to be. hypocrites are everywhere. if you held 100% true to your conviction then you need/would have to quit your job, too. yes, there is such a thing as “church hurt” + Christian hypocrisy; but it’s no excuse to forsake the assembly of saint. we gain strength in community. and extended isolation is one of the enemy’s greatest tool to deceive. speaking from experience + past hurt. /Bklyn👑
@@robertmotion See right off the bat you went to judgement with out asking anything! You do not know me! I nor anyone else HAS to be in a building with a church name to worship, know,& love Jesus! Many blessings to you.
Absolutely Love the AOC network and all of the hard work you all put in to spread the word of the Lord. Keep up the good work Jarrod and the whole AOC network team. May the Lord continue to order your steps daily and fill you with strength and wisdom to continue on. May the Lord cover your families and may you see no lack. God bless you guys‼️❤️🙌🏾
Father is dealing with every single one of us on our issues we hide from everyone else even from ourselves. This is the movement He is doing at this time, sanctification is a hard uncomfortable process, but praise Him for it. Blessings and Shalom 🙏❤️
IF you are engaged in the same behaviors then it is hypocrisy and the only thing that is being derided in the often misquoted "Judge not least ye be judged". If not, then it is called "reproof" and "rebuking"... you are supposed to do it! You cannot correct other's behaviors if you do not call them out. But, you can do it lovingly and with patience. 2 Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 1 Timothy 5:20 As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.
That is awesome to hear! Unfortunately most places in my area are just like her if not worse. It’s sad, but these people need love too. They are just misguided but still God’s children!
AMEN! It’s sad how lacking in the love the body of Christ “the church” has always been. We are still addressing this matter just as the apostle Paul did in his time. Prayers that we as the body of Christ stop with the hypocrisy. May we practice what we preach in walking the walk we talk. May we do everything in love. Without love we have nothing and are just making a nuisance of noise (1 Corinthians 13)📖Tell the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15)📖 God bless🙏🏻❤️
I absolutely look forward to every video you put out! Thanks for your hard work. You are one of a few that are apart of my church, & studies. God bless you & everyone that helped make these videos. 🥰🥰🥰
Amen, I've just started going to church, repented for my sins, and living for Christ. Watching your videos give me a great perspective on what not to do. God bless you and everyone watching this video. Kia kaha! (Be strong)
That's exactly the point: Doing things out of love! 1 Corinthians 13 says it all. I see it so often that Christians are judgemental and self-righteous and don't do things out of love at all. Thanks for the video. God bless!
I don't want to attend church anymore at all, I've been a Christian for 2.5 decades, with 20 of those years in worship ministry. I'm in my late 30s now, with 6 children and 7th next month, and almost unanimously Christian people make rude and disgusting comments towards my wife and kids for literally their existence. We no longer have a church home, especially since my 4 yr old autistic child can't make a few sounds in church or I'll be accused of distracting someone from their experience. It's a joke, that is not the Kingdom that Christ talked about. He was indignant when children were kept from Him. Its a wonder that unchristian people are more charitable then christian people. I guess they all can have their experience without my family and I. Maybe God can heal my wife and I from the hurt or maybe have to wait for eternal healing.
Never allow anyone to steal the joy and blessings the Lord bestowed upon you and your beautiful family. The Lord's temple is within us all and fellowship with other Christians can be found in multitudes of ways. Fancy buildings full of people who miss the message of his love is not one of them. Pray for them instead, for they really need it. Much love to you beautiful child of God! And to your loving family as well!
I'm so sorry that you and your family have been treated in this way. Take time as a family to worship at home until you feel able to look for a new church home. Jesus said that where 2 or 3 are gathered together in His name, He will be in the midst of them - He will be with you wherever you gather. May your family be blessed and may your new baby's birth go well. Congratulations!
Hey Jerron, I’ve missed you. Hope you were taking some rest and are now back on regular basis. The first thing I noticed about this video, was she was picking on people but, not looking at herself first. I try to keep myself on track and I pray for people who may need assistance from God. This world has not been what it was meant to be, and we all need to work together to make it the way God wants it to be. I pray for all of us here and everywhere. God bless you all!❤
❤❤❤ behind every tattoo there’s a story that someone wants to talk about, I can say that for myself. I can feel the love in this video. God bless you all❤❤❤
I found Jesus while I was living in all sorts of sin. He transformed me. He still is working on me. I've left many sinful ways behind. I had a mature Christian man say to me when I asked him about tattoos, "No, not now that you're following Jesus, I have tattoos that I got before I knew Him, but no more" I knew he was telling me the truth in love. I've also had followers of Christ get really mad about being told that God doesn't want us to mark our skin in this way. I wasn't saying it to judge, I was telling the truth. I have a tattoo by the way, that I got long before I knew Jesus. I won't get anymore though that's the conviction I have. I had a Christian sister become very offended about that, as she was going to get a tattoo, and I said I'm not going to cheer about your tattoo, but I love you. She informed me that God was OK with her tattoo because it has meaning to her.
This video was created for me. Thank you Aoc network for pointing out the problem most of us Christians have and are blinded to. Lord help me to represent You well. Forgive me for my self righteous and critical thoughts and actions that I tend to have. May I learn to speak the truth out of love and help me to stop being a hypocrite. In Jesus Name Amen 🙏
@@MikiDoodleMom Indeed, If you claim you are the righteousness of Christ don’t you have to learn what it mean to be righteous with him ? Or if Christ is your righteousness don’t you have to be respectful of him and listening to what he ask for you ?
I think I'm closer to the "you're not married" version, although I don't think I'd ever randomly stop to point that out 😂. This was a helpful video. Now, I don't go around openly criticizing people about it, but I do think about it. Shut up if you're not going to speak from love or speak what the Holy Spirit really wants you to say. 😅Ask for wisdom.
She was telling the plain truth, however without true love & care. Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.”
She speaks for the pharisee in her not Yeshua my King. She follows the accuser the adversary who points out the sinner not the sin.. Good message A.O.C. thanks for posting this. We all are guilty of this at some point in our lives. Wrapped in puffed up by the law judging without compassion for those who stumble to make ourselves look righteous before them.
I dated a woman like sort of like her ...she was a pretend Christian. She would claim to do things; judge people, cutting people out of her life when they annoyed / inconvenience her and justifying it with her religious beliefs...yet she was one of the most selfish, nasty person around
Then she was not a true christian forcing beliefs onto others in a judgmental way is not beneficial to anyone and just departs people from faith. It’s also another thing to preach things you aren’t committed too while sitting on a moral high horse. Helping people to understand why something would not be right or good is another thing entirely instead of just openly judging
If Jesus were to preach in your church today, He would be expelled and hated. He spoke truth that people do not want to hear. That is why they killed Him. Think about that!
One of the reasons I love God is not necessarily for what He can do for me, but more what He stands for. His ways are such a beautiful expression of Love like no other. ❤✝️
This is how we all were when we were baby Christians. I really like the comparison of makeup and tattoos it was really well spoken. When you start talking about makeup and modesty it riles up the demons.
Wow🥺🥺 What an absolute reminder of our filthy ways of living… Thanks Jarrod and your team for that reminder. God bless your work for HIM you are truly an Ambassador Of Christ…😥🥺😥🥺😥🥺
Her tactics may have worked on a certain kind of person, but not everyone. I have a concern about people who profess to be saved but make excuses for their sins constantly saying that’s just my sin nature! It drives me up the wall! I pray to try and not be sharp when speaking. I’m learning. Great video!
Christ cannot be represented by a woman. Women are either a gift or a curse depending on your perspective, but they were created to serve man. After sin came into play women definitely migrated to the curse side of things, which is why they at least need to be enjoyable to look at.
@@alphaforce6998 If you read the scripture the man ruling over his wife is a curse. Up until that point man and woman ruled equally and not over one another.
Amen to of King and kings. Saw miracles last night in church, my bhuda sister finally smashed her idols today and proclaimed Jesus. Took 4 years of love to show her Jesus ❤️ 💕 💖
Just a few weeks ago I was accused of being everything but a child of God @ a church. Basically I was not welcomed there afterward because I was sent messages about Bible study being canceled and the following Sunday service was canceled due to bogus reasons. Anyway my response was in confidence because these things I was being accused of were not true. I didn't get mad angry or anything. I greeted everyone with Love after the service was over. Thank God I'm already saved and have been for a while because an unbeliever would have turned all the way from wanting to know Jesus with the behavior I experienced
I've experienced some things in church that made me feel like walking away from other Christians. I know that Jesus leaves the 99 for his 1. I'm that one. 😁❤ Be blessed❤
That just made you stronger and closer to God. I don't know you but I love you my brother in Christ. God is with you are never alone. God bless you now and always keep the faith. For you are a child of God.Wishing you the very best in good health in Jesus name Amen Your sister in Christ Angelica Diaz 🙊🙉🙈👣😇😊
This was a really great time for you guys to make a video like this. I felt so convicted by this that it hurt. Thank you for putting this up front AoC Network and thank you Jesus for convicting me of my judgements that don't belong to me
