INSANE things I've seen in my Church's denomination (PCUSA) 

it blows my mind that there are pastors that deny the Resurrection

As someone who's not religious this sounds like Going to a Football Game and they don't even have a Ball

As someone who not in a mainline denomination and goes to an Evangelical church, I completely understand why we need to preserve the mainline church.

Former ELCA Lutheran here. I'll one up you. At my old church, the senior pastor walked into the youth group one day and loudly announced to a group of fifty 13 year olds that it was "OK to have s*x with whoever you want, whenever you want, as long as you love them". This was in 2002 (!) As you can imagine, things really started to fall apart after that.

As a baptist from suburban Kentucky, I've never known how bad spiritual liberalism in Christianity can really get

"The PCUSA isn't liberal enough" Comedy Gold Don't worry Zoomer, they're working on it.

"I'll actually sing that for you now" *horror movie trailer comes in as advertisement* Most perfect timing ever😂

As someone currently looking into Orthodoxy, the pro-choice, resurrection denying, and Arianist pastor stories made me want to scream. I hope you prots get your churches back together, good luck and may God bless you and your movement.

i used to go to a lutheran church when i was younger, the priest claimed that jesus was just a smart guy and he didn’t get resurrected lol. basically tried implying he was a marxist.

I'm so glad that the worst disputes in my denomination are about calendars and jurisdictions and not about Christ's divinity.

10:38 "UNBORN BABIES ARE PARASITES" - THESE PASTORS ARE LUCKY IT'S UP TO GOD, NOT TO ME, TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY LIVE OR NOT

I went to the East Coast US in May and it was SO jarring that every single church we passed had the latest pride flag waving outside it. The buildings were so beautiful, but the whiplash was like seeing a giant bumper sticker on a Porsche. Also we visited a church with a woman head bishop who was stepping down and passing the helm to a Carmelite man who said with his whole chest ‘I am drawn to Mary because she’s a warm gentle contrast to the harsh, distant coldness of God’ and my jaw could have audibly hit the floor. WHAT IS GOING ON in the US?! This video makes so much sense of all of that mess. What you’re doing is so honourable. May God bless you, keep you, and order your steps. Thank you for flying the flag for Jesus ❤

As French catholic, I lived almost the same unbelievable scenes in my churches! Reconquista!

I live in San Diego! San Diego, when it comes to major cities, is actually relatively conservative and the reason is that there is a long and intertwined history of military and naval bases in SD. Yes the heart of the city (downtown) is liberal, but there are pockets surrounding the hub that are more conservative than you’d think.

I'm an Evangelical non-denom. Leaning Pentecostal more and more. After you explained this, it makes a whole lot more sense why you want to retake these churches. I thought it was for the pretty buildings, or spreading Calvinism specifically, but in reality, it's for purging heresy. That's something I can get behind you on.

Us Catholics seethe because priests don't speak Latin but hearing these stories makes me think that the poison of the modern world didn't hit us as hard as I thought

What miracles have you seen your grandma perform?

"the only one who doesn't fly a pride flag" - it's like the ONE GUY in the hood who never went to jail :D

Videos like this makes me glad for my church where the biggest problem is our unskilled band. LORD help them when they try to experiment in the Christmas service

I, personally, am not a Christian. The thing is, neither are the people who are "theologically liberal." I'm pretty liberal, non-theologically, and heck, I'm even gay. I do look up to Jesus sometimes as he did preach love. I do not believe in some of the things in the Bible. I am just like the theologically liberal "Christians". I do not claim to be Christian. They are not Christian either.

As someone who is participating in the reconquista and considers himself as an orthodox reformed christian, how do you handle with the depression of seeing these kinds of mess in a place where people usually find comfort? The reconquista can be really draining sometimes!

9:27 this is just insane to me. Like forget being a Christian, forget being a *pastor*, if someone said this I think they would just be a horrible person.

My church is somewhat conservative Evangelical, but we are under PCUSA for financial support. When I was in college my church asked me to represent the church for the university program of a big PCUSA conference. I think it was called The Big Tent conference. When I arrived, the university program started a day before the main program and it was genuinely fun and interesting. But then the main program started and it had a big emphasis on diversity and racism and that kind of stuff. At first I was ok with it but then I noticed EVERYTHING had something to do with diversity and/or racism. All the workshops had diversity/racism. All the worship and sermons had to do with diversity/racism. EVERYTHING except the food had some kind of diversity/racism involved. I ended up not going to any of the workshop and just waited for the university program to continue. The university program wasn't all diversity/racism but it was there. It wasn't as forced down my throat though so I actually enjoyed it. I remember we did this one activity where we all held hands side by side in a line, and we were asked questions like: Did your parents go to university, did you learn about your history in your school, were you called racial names, and more. If you had a positive answer you take a step forward, if you had a negative answer you take a step back. It was supposed to show that white people are privileged and minorities are not. I am Egyptian, so I'm considered a minority. But I was the most "privileged" and I was standing the furthest up even more than the "white" people. I truthfully answered the questions, but I guess I just didn't have a negative look on life, and completely went against what they were trying to show. This was like 2015; before I opened my eyes to all of this social political stuff. Now that I look back I really didn't understand what was going on around me and I'm glad I'm not a part of it. I look at the picture I took with the university program and we're a very diverse group. I didn't even notice until my counselor pointed it out when I showed him the picture. I feel like I was used to meet a quota and show a picture of what they wanted to look like. Another random thing I noticed was that most of the middle aged to older women had the same hair cut. It's like this super short curly hair style. I now call it "the haircut". A couple years later was when PCUSA started removing their mask and got more ambiguous about their stance on LGBT stuff. I'm said to see it's gotten worse. Anyway... Christianity is not about diversity inclusion and equity (die). It is about the love of Jesus that He showed to use when He brutally sacrificed Himself to cleanse us of our sins!

I'm part of a humble congregational church with an outsized influence on the community through our many ministries. If your church is Good, help keep it that way. If it's poor, help improve it, make them kick you out if it comes to that. God will lead you in the right direction.

As a devout Southern Baptist, I wholeheartedly support your Reconquista effort! Watching what's been happening in some other denominations, and seeing a few of those things trying to worm their way into the SBC, it's been a BIG red flag for a lot of us. Keep up the good fight, brother.

Based guy who said "HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD" in the beginning of the Video.

This is similar to my experience in the Church of Scotland. Many of the young members were children of the manse who were very left wing politically. One youth moderator was a socialist; another later became a Green Party politician.

We have senior bishops in the Church of England who have recently made comments such as ‘There’s no such thing as one consistent overarching Biblical understanding of marriage’ ‘The Christian view of marriage is always evolving’ Several have commented that the C of E is very quickly becoming a left wing political party. I think they could be right.

Invest in scaffolding

Broskis, how do i quit relapsing on lust and other temptation?

People on his server: *paying respect for a guy that off-ed himself* (In Minecraft) Zoomer: Yeah so my denomination is very gay edit: added clarification

I went to the Christian subReddit and it was filled with people saying Christians aren’t doing enough to help trans people against the GOP

The chat is basically every youtube comment reply section

My pastor said that the (female) pastor of the PCUSA church in my city said that Jesus is “a” way not “the” way. I live in Utah and this is irritating especially when there is already enough heresy around!

I attended my local PCUSA Church. It was nice, but I still prefer the PCA Church I’m at now.

6:08 lol, gotta say I'm loving this running gag (still hoping you would one day sing for real tho) Anyways as a Christian in a still very conservative country, whew the situation in American really does seem very dire (not to say we don't have problems on our own, though). Praying for you to succeed in this mission of restoring the mainline churches!

My brother - you are such an encouragement to me! I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience with some of the worst elements of our denomination. I'm in seminary to help make a change. Keep on keeping on!

Oddly, the Presbyterian Church of Canada doesn't support LGBTQ+ as yet, seems the Catholics may do so first.

I love hearing his slight New York accent whenever it happens, it's funny to me

Honestly S tier Zoomer vid. From the conga line to father Abraham. Truly something special.

Bro the chat just being like "sin is an L fr" is so funny

6:08 I was listening in from another tab (preparing lyric slides for my club's Wednesday worship) and wondered why the sound suddenly stopped right at you were about to bless us with your singing. I found an even greater blessing after clicking over.

What do I do about a church that hasn't *really* gone bad, but it's getting pretty unserious and you have a feeling it might get worse? The church closest to where I live has female priests, and highly modernized sermons about social media and shit. Once she literally started doing dollar store magic tricks during her sermon. And the organ played "Phantom of the Opera" at the ending? Like... it's not heretical I guess I mean they haven't straight up lied about the Bible and what not, but it's still pretty annoying. I want to hear about the Bible and praise God, I don't want to hear about inspiring Facebook posts you've read.

My wife went to a Presbyterian college affiliated with the PCUSA. She said it was definitely hit or miss. Some professors were rock solid reformed, others claimed God is a black woman…great stuff man!

Hey, I’m a marxist and I watch your videos because I’m interested in religion despite being an atheist. I’ve always found your points smart and well-argued, but the cultural marxism stuff just isn’t true. Cultural marxists do exist in the sense that marxists believe that cultural hegemony is necessary for a socialist society, and I believe that too, but cultural marxists in the sense of people trying to infiltrate institutions is a conspiracy theory first invented by Nazi Germany to slander Jews and Communists at the same time by saying that the Soviet Union was controlled by Jews. So as someone who could, in good faith, be described as a “cultural” marxist, I assure you that no-one has ever infiltrated religious organizations as a part of an intentional and organized attempt to “derail” them. This goes for all major communist internationales and their member parties. If anyone wants to learn more just look cultural marxism up on Wikipedia or watch Hbomberguy’s videos on the topic which are great.

Good luck mate, love your vids!

WOW I've kinda wanted to do something like this, and here you are doing it! That's awesome

I'm an openly Christian and theologically and politically conservative. I'm unpopular, even hated in my school. I thank God that I'm with LCMS and have a place I can go to a place where I can go to worship and honor God without being corrupted by theologically liberal ideas.

Stay strong Zoomer. I get inspired by your videos. Thank you.

My brother in Christ your women are in the pulpit. Need I say more ?

i love your vids man. You explain things so well.

Amen brother. Keep up the good fight!

Your candidness is truly commendable. It’s a great example for those in mainline churches. Speaking the truth and being transparent can truly bring incredible change in this age of deconstruction and degeneration.

As an Orthodox, it’s really sad to see these other denominations get corrupted. I hope you are successful in helping save your denomination. My prayers will be with you.

Yes Zoomer you are a great singer and should upload a video of you sings the entire Psalter for 200k subs.

I disagree with how you define conservative, in that it is about going back to something in the past. The word actually means to keep safe, or to preserve from loss and decay. To go back would be to regress, but to be conservative about something (politics, doctrine, theology) means to have something worth holding on to, and shedding off what doesn’t align with that, and rejecting new ideas that don’t align with it. In Theology, this would mean to align all things with the Bible, shedding tradition where it doesn’t align, and only accepting new ideas or ways of doing things when they are consistent with Scripture. Great video though, and very eye opening! As a 35 y/o millennial who is a fundamental Non Denominational (baptist) in rural Kentucky, its so hard to imagine hearing those sorts of things in the church from the pastors.

I love the running joke of the files of you singing always getting corrupted! Like with a mighty fortress is our God in the denominations video.

That's actually how I became a Christian I went to a church group then u asked for my Bible I tried reading it and I wasn't all thar interested and I remember interacting with Christians at various times the one time there was this street preacher and I was kinda trying to goof around with him after high-school I got a job and there I met a coworker who challenged My on my beliefs and who pushed back on the stuff I said but he'd always say I don't gotta listen or believe him But that I should look into things myself so I read my Bible trying to understand it all then I was convicted

“You can’t tell me what to do with myyyy body” “I’m not telling you what to do with your body God is telling you what not to do with his creation which is both your body and the child’s I’m just the messenger”

I love the idea of the more liberal people leaving the PCUSA.

I worked for your denomination in Louisville for over five years -- the only thing I can say to describe it is this: "You are rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, but I say unto you that you are poor, miserable, wretched, blind, and dumb because you have left your first love."

I was pleased to see that the PCUSA church where Reverend Bill Sperry pastors is on your church Finder map. He was my Chaplain in the Marine Corps, and worked with me to establish a Lay leader program in our battalion

Hey cool! I grew up in one of the original three PCA churches (FPC Macon, GA) and now attend a PCUSA church in Coronado (Graham Memorial Pres) in the San Diego Presbytery. I am very conservative (even for Macon, GA) and VERY conservative for San Diego, but enjoy challenging my beliefs. I work for the church, volunteer there many days a week and with many of the ministries, teach Sunday school and even filled in as the inquirers class instructor on several occasions despite not being a member. Fun!

What mainline Protestantism has become, is really sad.

One lady at my church now said she left her previous church because the pastor said the kids didn’t need to read the Bible stories.

9:23 that's the thing though. When u're pregnant its NOT JUST UR BODY BUT THE BODY OF UR CHILD AS WELL.

Blessings on your work.

Keep it up brother we can not keep allowing our leaders to live without accountability 🙏🔥💯

Here I am thinking that most other protestants had fallen to heresy. It warms my heart to know that I am not alone

A church in my area decided to leave the UMC for the GMC. Not only did the congregation have to buy their bulding back, the UMC is commanding them to deliever ALL property (such as artwork, hymnals and confirmation class pictures) to a regional repository (basically a dumping ground). And the pastor loses their pension plan. It's basically extortion.

Not gonna lie, my jaw dropped a few times. It’s just shocking the amount of heresy that you witnessed. I’m almost speechless, you’re stronger than me cause idk if I would’ve kept my mouth shut 😂

On the struggle with God, I think that was too far to say it's okay to undermine our faith. I do think though that if we are angry or frustrated with God, or not understanding something, He WOULD at least rather we vent to him than hold it in. The Psalms are often actually very good examples. They come around in the end but sometimes that honest venting needs to happen first because if you never get it off your chest, you never TELL the Person you're supposed to be seeking a relationship with, it never gets addressed. Relationships where one party is constantly holding back and seething on their own end up toxic and that certainly counts with how we create toxicity between ourselves and God.

The situation you are describing put me on a path straight to Rome for five years- I actually converted- I’m Anglican now

My episcopal bishop invited a Lutheran pastor (both women) to speak from the pulpit during mass about the importance of abortion.

i love how this guy says jokes and never laughs at them when they are clearly chuckle worthy

Can you please link the server? I was planning to start making tutorials for different buildings, and I thought that I could build a nice Catholic church on the server

Coming to this video after I attended a Presbetarian church for the first time. I walk in, first thing I see? 2 flags at the very front, right along the front place where they conduct worship. One flag is a PRIDE FLAG with a cross on top, the other is a flag with symbols from SEVERAL OTHER RELIGIONS on it. Come to find out they are LGBT affirming. NOPE! This church used Tibetan singing bowl's to signal a transition to music, and they had a bunch lying around, which was weird and gave off New Age nonsense vibes. THEN they had a FIVE MINUTE meditation session where at one point the leader said "Feel the weight of your body, the gravity pulling you down. That is quite literally mother earth giving you a big hug" Which sent alert signals to me and felt like a huge New Age move. I did really like the worship and the friendliness, and the ambience of the whole place... But no way am I going back there. Hopefully my next Presbyterian Church visit is good... otherwise I may try out an Anglican Church or default back to Baptist churches since at the very least they tend to be theologically conservative (even though I don't agree with all the values like Young Earth Creationism)

To clarify as a non presbytairen, san diego County Resident, the downtown area is liberal but overall, the rural areas are very conservative .

My brother in Christ, your diss game got me trippin: when it comes to outright heretical statements they’re “silly” but when it comes to women speaking straight hellfire is breathed 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Zoomer, do you have any thoughts on the Living Waters ministry? They do a great focus on evangelism and presenting the Gospel to unbelievers but they’re not very ecumenical. They also kinda fit into the “MacArthurite” and “Answers in Genesis” type spheres of influences.

How can you be Christian and not believe Jesus was God? That is straight up heresy!

I find it hilarious that Reconquista was forgotten because basically everyone just converted to Catholicism

What miracle did your grandma do?

When devout athiests are more consistent with Christianity than "pastors"😂 This is a HUGE issue.

Friend, You are amazing

The way the music stopped at 9:06 when you said you were pro life had me DYING 😂😂😂😂

For the lady who said the concept of the trinity is incongruent with the Jewish religion: 1. In the Babylonian Targums, the Memra (word) of God is shown as a distinct person representative of Yahweh. And then at times identified as one in the same with Yahweh in certain passages. 2. Philo was a Jewish philosopher who wrote about the logos as a person of God. My understanding of his representation of God is that it was more binitarian, but not really exclusive of more persons. 3. Kabbalah has the tree of life with numerous names making up the godhead. It's probably a little more modalist and I don't fully understand the nuances of it, but it is analogous to the trinity in that, a trinitarian representation is not at all contrary to Judaism.

You are a good man

The political liberalism can definitely be a problem at some of our churches, but as a Catholic it’s extremely bizarre for me to hear about actual pastors and priests in other denominations actually questioning or even going as far as denying things like the Resurrection… I don’t know what I would think if I heard that in church. What is the purpose of any of it at that point The theological liberalism is trying to seep it’s way into Catholicism as well though unfortunately, just look at “Fr.” James Martin.

How can you be Christian and not believe in Christ? Even Muslims believe Jesus existed, they just think he was a prophet of god rather than god himself.

You might really appreciate James Jordan's essay Crisis, Opportunity, and the Christian Future. Jordan theorizes where we are in church history, and what is required for our time.

That's a pretty interesting situation, but I'm glad you're standing up for truth.

I love seeing all the people in the in game chat talking to the people watching the video

Also to add extra detail you should use quartz pillars horizontally for the bottom block in the calcite interior walls

I had exactly the same experience with being confirmed in the German Lutheran church. I was really shocked at first that you described everything just like I’ve heard it even by pastors and church leaders. So sad that this is also happening in America

2:43 Yeah I went to San Diego a few months ago, and this doesn't really surprise me. We had been in LA and Anaheim the last few days, and going to San Diego the presence of the Church, and the influence of religion was present in it's culture. So it doesn't surprise me too much that, that's the case.

I’m a Lutheran but I’m ashamed of the ELCA’s theological liberalism. It’s not what Martin Luther stood for.

Anglican Church of Aoteroa New Zealand, the last priest in charge we had preached said that Jesus was racist to the syro phonecian women, but it's ok because he repented, (repenting implies Sin, and is Jesus sinned he isn't the one perfect sacrifice for the sin of the world, and so cannot save us).

Hey I'd decrease the chatbox size so you can see the screen better when you're recording with people on the server

You should go to the chat settings and downsize the chat a bit. It’s quite large.
