Actions make a person good, not their beliefs. You are your own savior! Rely on yourself, not on god. Also sorry for the background noise in the beginning and the wrong camera format!
Most people have heard “Jesus/God loves you”. Does that mean they have a relationship with God and will go to heaven? Depends on the individual. A relationship is 2 sided, you receive love and you give love back. God showed His love by suffering, dying on the cross and rising from the dead for you, now you show Love back by repenting of your sins (lying, stealing, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain etc) and believing in Jesus as your Lord and saviour so that Heaven is in your future not hell
@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363As a Christian, believing I had the power of a prophet, had the sheer audacity to curse everybody who wasn't Christian to "worship or die". If this happened to be true, many would have died. This was the cruelest curse in human history. Down with the Bible that advocates behavior such as my own! Do not encroach on people's spiritual freedom. I was no better than the witch hunter of medieval history. I am eternally sorry to the people I have hurt with such a curse, as I evilly tried to twist your free will to get you to worship the maniacal god, Jehovah who I now openly blaspheme! I wish worldly people well but Christians you are ferociously scared little girls who worship fear mongering and the threats of hell. I know because I was one and had I not been punished I'd still be walking the Earth devouring your free will and trying to persuade you to this horrendous orthodoxy. I blaspheme the holy spirit! Please stay out of churches! Do not be entrapped by this heinous religion!

@@Deadlykitten3828 God through the Holy Spirit has shown me several things relating to the afterlife with the purpose of convincing people like yourself. Stuff like Heaven and Hell, Angels, and evil Spirits the Lord Jesus (not worthy at all), a miracle happened to me that saved my life (thank you God) & so much more. I am more than happy to give further details.
More than 9 out of ten people do this deconstruction to arrive at the fact that nothing has real value without Jesus. And we're destroying the world, turn on the TV, see what this all leads to.
I’m so elated, free, ecstatic, and absolutely happy to be an ex-Christian. It is truly a toxic system that thrives on the manifestation of fear. I’m still spiritual, but aside from my parents’ funerals I will never set foot in a church again.
Please look into Islam and read Quran once pure word of Almighty Allah, we believe believe and respect Jesus peace be upon him as a messenger of Allah who worshipped to God
@@MyInstaID-islamonly30 This is what religion does. It looks for where someone can be vulnerable or in a weakened state and they pounce like a predator on their prey. Islam is as equally toxic as Christianity. The "pure word" of Allah is as equally hateful as that of Yahweh. Well, they are both the abrahamic god, so effectively one and the same anyway. You sent this comment to someone who had cleared Jesus out of their life and was relieved and happy about that. The hateful indoctrination based on fear is no different with Islam. You are also promoting Jesus, who they have no interest in any more. Marie chose not to respond to your predatory comment because she is kind and probably not confrontational, I have no such problem to express what she may have felt when you added this comment. You are both clueless and insensitive. You say of Islam "we believe believe and respect Jesus" Why on earth would she have any interest in respecting Jesus as part of your doctrine, if she did not respect Jesus as the main protagonist in a doctrine she has just cleared from her life. That is ignorant stupidity on your part. Here's wishing you a Merry Christmas, I'm sure Jesus is looking down on you and shaking his head and face palming your idiocy.
@@MyInstaID-islamonly30oh really muslim is much worst. We are ok as an atheist. There is no god. Because why this god just snap his finger to stop war. So he is not all powerful and all knowing, ulol mo. Hindi totoo ang pinagsasabi mo. Lahat yan ay kasinungalingan.

@@jmdsservantofgod8405 GOOD, it’s time to wake up and see this life for what it is, The bible and all religions who have a bible to control others through it’s scriptures of propaganda can eventually die out. I mean c’mon people are taught from the beginning that they are screw ups with no hope and will eventually burn in eternity for not living a life of ultimate servitude to something that never existed. Christianity is as sleezy as they come, once you open your mind to this whole ordeal unfortunately it rots your brain in a way that makes you feel guilty for not going to church and mingling around with the sheeple like s good little boy. I truly believe this world will be a better place if we outlaw all religions completely and ban any kind of worship in a building that lies to the new generation. It’s a form of MK ULTRA. Trying to control others through means of changing the way they think and telling them how to think and telling them what to do. I’m sorry,,,,,,, slavery died centuries ago, Religions bring it back through means of churches and group meetings, need I say more? I hope one day religion will have no place on this earth, I hope that people will forget about it and the less people think about it…….. it will eventually die off.
I went through a lot of the same thing. For me as someone with low self-esteem Christianity fostered this sense of hatred for myself. They teach you to not trust your self. It is really a bad thing. I hate what they did to me. For you I hope you get stronger and learn to be a friend to yourself.
@@BiblicalTeachings well the teaching my church stressed was that you are in a battle or war with your sinful nature and the answer was Christ. I don't know what to make of sin or evil in the world but focusing on dying / becoming more like Jesus was confusing. Why would God want less of me? Am I that unworthy that I must disappear? This was what I was told. So I left Christianity completely. Do you have a different approach?
"..foster a sense of hatred for myself" How so? In others it fostered a sense of innovation. greatness and usefulness. Maybe something must be wrong with you.. Dont you think?
@@PqV72MT4 You left Christianity..Some people stayed in Christianity and that motivated to become good statements, inventors, philanthropists etc.. Certainly you need to re exhamine yourself.

I am over 50 years old. In the last year, I have come out of the Christian religion based on my "research" of how the Bible was put together historically. I believe that if Jesus existed, he would be pissed that the Greeks and Romans of the early Church adulterated his message and made him into a God. The earliest texts do not purport him to be. "Christianity is like an abusive marriage". That statement by you made me gasp with revelation. I pray to the God of the universe every day, BUT, this God I pray to is like the Star Wars God of the Force rather than some human-made diety. It is nice to see somebody so young "getting it". I wish I had when I was your age. Good luck on your journey.
I feel the same way. I think Christianity made me less assertive. I wasn’t very assertive and I allowed people to run over me. I am still working on this. People tried to define me and tell me I had to be self-sacrificing because of my religion. I’m at the point where I am doing research and questioning whether it is valid. A lot of scriptures are incoherent and Ive kind of always been confused and I did question things in my head, but I was afraid to ask questions to fellow worshipers and leaders. I don’t know where I am at right now. I don’t want to be atheist I’m a spiritual person. I want to believe in something greater than me. I do have a lot of questions.
These people were wrong to tell you to be this or that ! I get so angry at Christian that preach and teach the wrong stuff it’s spiritual abuse and God will judge how they took care of you, his little sheep- you should be in a church that teaches how wonderful Jesus is and all he’s done for us to save us, Jesus said the truth would set us free and I’m sad you had questions but could not ask them - I’m shocked ! I’ve been following Jesus for 35 years -please feel free to ask me any questions at all I won’t be shocked by anything lol blessing to you from U.K.
Hi Nicole. I am called Nicole as well. (: I am not in a position of Authority to preach to you and lead you to Scriptures that will help you deal with your concerns, at least not yet. But what I can do is encourage you. Do not lose heart, don't leave your faith because God is real and Jesus is God. It is really sad that there is so much Bible and religious abuse in the Churches today. I used to believe that Jesus was meek and humble and that we should be like Him, however when I came to a testimony of a Jew who read about Jesus in the Gospels, he said somerhing that changed me, he said that Jesus was a very strong man, his ideal version of a manly man. (He became a Jewish believer by the way) And it lead me to question my belief system. How was this Jewish person able to see Jesus as strong and manly. And it was becuse of the Jewish context of the New testament that we, as modern (and gentile) people, are not privy to. So much of what is preached in the churches are based on personal experiences or from reading the Bible through our modern context. I had to unlearn a lot of lies, dogmas and teachings to understand who I really am in Christ, not a mindless sheep but a learned believer of the truth. And I'm not even halfway there. So I encourage you to keep seeking, and you will be rewarded. Prayerfully consider reading/watching The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser. It introduces the context and worldview of the biblical writers. Seek for yourself, and let no man fool you. I am praying for you. God bless!
God isnt threatening you though, hell is literally the absence of God, its not a punishment. God is good, and you can choose whether you want to believe in him or not. But unfortunately if you dont believe in God, you go to where God is absent, and because He is good, his absence is the opposite.
That is sad to hear, but so true. There is nothing wrong with having questions, but i believe that the bible is the source for everything christian. Everyone who is christian from the bishop of a megachurch, to the poor elderly woman next door, goes to the bible. It has the answers for all the questions, its just it takes time and effort to find and know that.
@@joshuamartinpryce8424 : All the answers?

It sounds like you are emotionally suffering on leaving. The best thing i can say is fight back. Only the spiritually aggressive can make it into heaven, its not easy. The way is narrow, and even then only few get into heaven. I have given up alot for the gospels sake. This is what makes the christian walk hard, not necessarily my mental state.
my upbringing and personality is a lot like yours. I’ve dealt with so much guilt and shame that was put on me by the church and my family and my faith in god my entire life. I could never validate my own emotions and i still have trouble loving myself sometimes. currently going through this process and really reevaluating my faith. i have good days and bad days. You’re amazing girlfriend 💜
"guilt and shame" ---- Truth without mercy is a terror. Mercy without truth is a lie. Love always encompasses both. God is Love. Christ is God made manifest. "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth" (Psalm 25)

I was abused as a child by a man at my old baptist church and have been disappointed time and time again by religious leaders and churches. I’m now on my own journey to find God.

I feel free and I’m so proud of myself for surviving the abuse and coming out of it stronger. Bless you and thank you for sharing your story🌈❤️

I’m a Christian, and I feel like I kind of get what you’re saying about the stress. What really bothered me about your video is that it sounds like someone taught you Lordship Salvation (salvation based on works instead of grace), because you expressed being afraid of hell. But the Bible tells us that if we simply believe in Jesus (plus no works of our own) we are saved forever, no hell to ever worry about. Someone taught you a false gospel of works, so when anything happened in your life you were under an inhumane level of stress and pressure. I’m so glad to hear you made it out of Lordship Salvation, but I truly hope you will come to believe in Jesus for your salvation. I want to see you in Heaven one day. ❤️ We are all sinners. Sin is breaking God’s moral law. Even one lie is enough for us to deserve everlasting fire from God (because He is holy). But the good news is that He loved you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to pay the price for you, so that you can go to Heaven when you die. Jesus died for all of your sins, was buried, and rose again (He’s alive!) on the third day. All you have to do is believe! ❤️ To be saved, believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ (who is God in the flesh, the Son of God) on the cross, in His shed blood, in Him taking the wrath of God poured out on Him for you while He was on the cross, in His death, burial, and resurrection to pay for all of your sins and to give you everlasting life (1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Hebrews 9:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 3:16, John 6:47). You cannot work/obey your way to Heaven - salvation is the free gift of God (Romans 3:20, Ephesians 2:8-9). Once saved, always saved (Ephesians 1:13). ❤️
Thanks so much for your honesty. For me it was the list of "Do's and Don'ts" that made me feel inadequate and further away from God. Finally I decided to leave church, not saying everyone should, but I needed to be uninfluenced and started studying the New Covenant on my own. See in the beginning I was sold out on the unconditional love and safety in the Saviour. Although having good intentions, when churches preach law it becomes a whole legalistic religious organization that robs us of our true identity and freedom that we are supposed to have. What I found is that religion says "Fix yourself and God/we will accept you" while the original Gospel says "Come just as you are and I will give you righteousness/(okayness) as a gift". Religion says "You have to work hard to stay forgiven and right" while the true Gospel says "With a single sacrifice I have made you perfectly accepted and irreversibly forgiven for ever". Religion says "You have to work to get close to God" the Gospel says "You cant get closer to your Father as He is in you and you are in Him". Religion says "God is in love with a future version of you" while the Gospel of Grace says "Dad loves you as you are right now unconditionally and is NEVER GOING TO CHANGE in this irreversibly restored relationship". Religion says "You are not good enough" and the true Gospel of Grace says "You are fully accepted, with a new heart which is righteous, holy and blameless. That's your identity, now live from your heart and be yourself". Religion is a bunch of rules to follow as a prerequisite to acceptance versus the Gospel of Grace providing immediate irreversible acceptance which will produce the "works"/performance over time, but our performance is SECONDARY to the "Work Christ did". This reveals a bit of what I found please see this link for more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RHxbZEwbhHg.html This is 8 years later, in the mean-time I started a small bible study group where everyone is on the same level and unconditionally accepted, where their opinion is valid and important. God's love.
Thank you sooo much for sharing that with us! I almost cried listening to you, i went trough the same path, same Christian background ans si many toxic believes that brought me to a place of Hating myself, sacrifiying everything for others, not any boundaries ans struggling having peace and enjoying life because of Bad thought like "everything IS wrong here on earth, WE juste have yo think in the paradise" how IS possible to buid any future with this mentality? I am so glad to be free of this toxic faith, rebuyling myself now, with love ang gratitude. From France

My major issue is sanctification. I have known "Christians" for 35 years and they are no more spiritually mature now than when they "became a Christian". You would think after 35 years a "Christian" would almost be an angelic saint in their spiritual maturity. If they have changed at all, it is for the worse, being jaded by this world.
Leaving Christianity brought peace and more freedom to my heart. I am free and I do good by myself and others. I am no longer afraid to die because I know that my soul is going to a resting place not heaving or hell cos I cannot imagine myself singing hallelujah every day forever
Personally, my relationship with Jesus is the only thing that gives me hope and freedom. I think of Christianity as being a follower of Christ and religion as simply followers gathering together to do things together. That’s all it is really and all it’s meant to do, to serve and love others
Welcome to reality Chloey :) As a fellow humanist and nonbeliever who has, like yourself, endured periods of depression.....I can relate to your experience. I'm so glad you took the time to make this video. I really like the honest, unpretentious and straightforward way you realated what must have been a fairly traumatic and painful time for you. I'm a fan ;) I hope that you attract some more attention along with a few subscribers....... this channel deserves to grow much larger from this very promising start. Best wishes....J.F.D.
Its sad but true, in all honesty Chloe is me months ago. I thought of quitting the faith because of the suffering i endured. I am renewed and strengthened everyday, without this i would give up myself. Its hard to execute faith, but there are alot of benefits to having faith and believing in something and someone hyper spiritual.
"I really like the honest, unpretentious and straightforward way you realated what must have been a fairly traumatic and painful time for you. I'm a fan"--- "And he would add, If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice... In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel" (2 Samuel 15)
It’s funny how everything you are saying is exactly my experience. And most people,judging by all of the other videos. It strikes me how exactly similar my experience was even though at the time I had never seen any of these videos. It was just my internal struggle. It’s also strange to see how people who were supposed to be safe in faith only found freedom when leaving it. Thank you.
Feel really sad 😢 what type of teaching and churches were you in ? There is nothing without Christ worth living and if you feel freedom from leaving this type of faith - believe me it was not true Christianity as Jesus meant it to be - God will judge very severely those who teach error and presented law without grace and have not looked after the flock and kept them safe
@@ajoy6850 I don’t think it’s God that makes things hard for He wants to be found through Jesus read the gospels, I think it’s false teachers that twist scriptures and do not present the true gospel and put burdens on people that God never intended, Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of his day for exactly this reason

You can still be a good person without the church. Christianity entire base for the religion is to keep people in fear. Dont anger the jealous vengeful man in the sky.
Technically, that is not true. Jesus Christ sets the bar so high, that you have to be a world class athlete to jump over it. God is only jealous as in He begs and yearns to have a relationship with you, this is actually Gods only concern for people. Good, abundant life is an incentive. Sin takes our minds away from God and His nature. This is why sin is hated so much by God and it makes Him angry.
@@joshuamartinpryce8424 to prove my point that the Christian religion is based on fear let's look at deuteronomy 17:12 12The person who acts arrogantly, refusing to listen either to the priest who stands there serving the Lord your God or to the judge, must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
Christianity is one of the hardest things to give up/quit. Once it’s in your head and if your unfortunately raised with a religious upbringing it’s damn near impossible to walk away without feeling some kind of condemnation for doing exactly that, and for the weak minded they will eventually return to the trough of lies that they’ve been fed out of by the religious powers that be. Good for you for having the strength to walk away. I am so happy for you and I truly believe that you will find better meaning in your life rather than putting others above yourself like you said early in your video. Put yourself first and foremost, because the happier you are and the more fulfilled you are gives you the opportunity and energy to help and care for others, it’s hard to love others when you are taught to neglect yourself and serve Others like Christianity has taught since it was born. My best regards to you.
You need to put God first, not yourself. See, this is the problem: Many people tend to want to do what they desire and not what God desires. God knows what's best for us. We need to deny ourselves before we can walk with Christ. No one said this walk with Christ would be easy. We have to endure. Please don't let the devil and his tactics fool you. I also see a lot of people seeing they stopped believing because of depression and anxiety. GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR. You need to put your trust in Him, not anything that you do. We need to stop willfully sinning. Putting your trust in Him will allow Him to use you. It's a lifetime experience that requires 100% commitment. Don't take it for a test drive. God is faithful. It's just up to us to remain faithful towards Him. Christ died for our sins. So please, put your trust in Him. Please get to know Him. 🙏
Wow this is like I am watching my own thoughts articulated so acutely. I too am someone who’s always been into self discovery, and constantly judged myself due to my innate instincts not being supported in the church.

Thanks for your authenticity. I have also struggled with that unhealthy fear. Fear can motivate people to believe when they do not really mean it. Pascal's wager is the most insincere and dishonest way to live. It simply means you live in faith because of fear... Simply put, it's a lie. I hope more people wake up and choose to ditch the fear because it is debilitating and detrimental. I've heard of so many horror stories of individuals paralyzed by unnecessary torment. I have been there so many times myself. There have been so many instances where sleep fled away and terrible dread was my pillow... NO ONE should experience this... To all who read, you can begin to be free from this. It is a process and it will take time. Just keep moving...
I'm really glad that you are free and standing for yourself. I guess before science and technology, the only thing we had to combat addictions, criminals, and diseases were this sense of self-discipline or the death penalty. But now we have science and technology we can medicate addictions, criminals and diseases.
I was a part of a religious group at one point. I left them in spring of 2018 having spent 16 years with them, apart from technology or a bank account, phone, etc. It was emphasized very much that "Jesus was the saviour and "man cant save himself from his sins, only Jesus", when the religion really emphasized that " I over come, I repent, I confess my sins, I seek God for understanding about my "condition" and so on. I felt like I was actually the one doing all the work as far as "religion " was concerned and God and Jesus just stood there while I jumped through there hoops. I never experienced something so powerful that I can honestly say....." yep, God did that not me" Or the whole fallacy of say for example: baking a cake, getting all the ingredients together, buying them at a store, planning it and cooking it, then to say you did it was sin, but "god should get the glory, lest i boast" cmon.
If I was there when you made that cake I would thank you, because you do deserve that praise, and that's the true love, I don't really care for cake but I care for people and the fact you did all that should be shown that you're a kind hearted being, so thank you :)
After years of suffering from addiction and suffering, christianity still didn't help me. I too feel like I had to do everything. I lost my old beliefs and my religion but in The Process I Found God! One day I had A Mystical Experience and Spirituality Awakening. This Experience was so Profound and Powerful that it changes my Life Instantly. My Life did a 180 and my Lifestyle changed and this I could never do on my own. It was Grace. After years of trying, when I just let go and Surrendered and said Yes to it all and Yes to all the pain, The Miracle came. I'm no longer christian but I now know that God Is Bigger than Religion or Holy Books. The Mystical Experience has happened to many people ever since the dawn of humanity. Even psychiatrists have written about it. The Mystical Experience can rewire the brain and effect neural pathways, neuralplasicity. This Gift Of Spiritual Awakening is available to everyone. Life is doing It's thing. Life does what It wants to do. Many Search for Life (God) for many many years not Realizing that God is already with them. Searching for Something that was never lost.
I hear so many echoes of my own experience in this! I grew up Evangelical, and for years I battled depression and anxiety from the deep guilt and shame I carried. I'm glad you're happier now. I am in a much better place having left Christianity. I think I'm actually a better person overall! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Some higher spiritual experience took me away from it. Best thing ever happened in my life. Something that actually showed some action and I am so grateful.

Everytime I try to leave I have a feeling that my life will get harder and I will be attack. I notice being a christian i never had a blessing no matter how hard I am in praying to god. The only time I thought he was close is when I was off my medication.
While I do not urge you to leave the faith, I do urge you to leave "churchianity". There is so much junk in modern church theologies that it confuses and leads people to all sorts of misunderstandings about themselves and about God. I recommend you to read (or just watch here on RU-vid) Dr. Michael Heiser's Unseen Realm. It's a scholarly work that helps us lay people to recover the biblical worldview of the ancient Israelites and the 1st century believers and the apostles. Basically, it opens you to the correct context in which the Bible should be read. So much of teachings and preachings today are pulled out from personal experiences or from the context of our modern age. So I urge you to give it a try, prayerfully consider watching it. Continue seeking God, do not be fooled by any man. And He will reward you. I will pray for you, that you recover your identity in Christ, not as a mindless sheep, but as a learned believer. Able to separate the truth from lies. God bless you.
You forget that Joktan is also the brother of Peleg, they are sons of Eber living in the other side of the globe. They are also called Hebrews as they are sons and daughters of Eber. And they are scattered all over the world as described in Deuteronomy 28 and Luke 24. Any country you will mention, there will be Filipino living in that country. In Genesis 10, and Jubilees, are direction were the people of Joktan headed to ctto: The God Culture So where is Chryse? Southeast of China according to the original narratives. That is what they actually say if one reads it and we cover it in this video. Is it the same as Ophir? Yes, not only according to Josephus and others but in logic as the Greeks absorbed the Phoenician (Solomon's Navy in Part) marine acumen including routes. Even the Turin map connects Chryse to the Garden of Eden just as our research especially the Biblical Hebrew references to the Temple gold, Moses' description of the land of Havilah, exact directions from the Book of Jubilees and Enoch, science, and mega-linguistics among other things lead to the same conclusion. Chryse is Ophir and they were rediscovered in the era of exploration by Magellan. This was known. In all fairness, in all our videos, we have only spent a few slides that we have repeated at times on Chryse and that's it so this is an opportunity to provide more context. We find more sources from the time of the Periplus with exact directions and in reading the Periplus which we represent editorially exactly as it reads if one actually reads it, these sources pinpoint the general location of Chryse in the region of the Philippines and certainly not Malaysia which is a ludicrous supposed match to what these cartographers drew and described. They had not been to the area and that is evident from their maps which omit the Malay Peninsula completely as well as IndoChina. That was not rare and Magellan is the one who figured this all out especially when he equated the Lequois whom Pigafetta specifically identifies as those of Luzon Island, Philippines as "Tarsis" and "Ofir" or the Biblical Tarshish and Ophir which was his main objective as it was that of Columbus who did not find it. We cover those in detail. In fact, we offer 3 maps of ancient origin now reconstructed yet fully vetted as credible and accurate which all identify the Philippines essentially as Chryse in relation to China as it is South and East and beyond China as China is the marker for reading these maps not India especially since that portion is missing much. An author drawing conclusions especially one such as Suarez who misrepresents the Periplus omitting the actual directions to the South and East of China are inaccurate in their conclusions. We are not. Whether we sourced slides 3 years ago with precision is impertinent as we have been updating those today including a 4 page Bibliography for Part 6 of the Original Solomon's Gold Series. How many other RU-vid Channels provide such? Very few. The sources are accurate and used properly. That said, history is but one leg of our case which travels multiple disciplines which all align to prove the Philippines is Ophir and no one has disproven our conclusions.

What a healthy perspective you have! As someone who practices counseling for a living, I can say with enthusiasm that yes...we all have light and dark traits. As we grow it is our job to integrate all sides of ourselves into one existence. And that, I think, is a task that is nearly impossible when we are tied strongly to religion. Carry on, my friend.
Its not healthy to say that leaving God is good. Its not healthy to go on christian preacher insight without having self spiritual discovery. This is why many people fall from grace.
I was so upset as a Christian about nonbelievers were going to suffer eternal torment. I studied it out and it isn't even true. I also took a hike after 24 years.
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
@@jonasvalero I am a real Human being like you, we are greater than animals or robots. We have authority over them, and God is greater than us so He has authority over us. If an animal does evil it has to answer to no one, but you must answer to God, so it is best to get right with God today by repenting and believing in Jesus for forgiveness of sins and to go to the awesome heaven.
Congratulations on getting yourself out! After listening to hundreds of interviews of the religious that thought and studied their way out of religion, it is a common theme that life without religion, after the initial transition, is so much better. Thanx for sharing. I'm sure your story will help others.

I can totally relate to a lot of this. It’s been 4 years since I left this religion and now I consider myself simply a believer in God/or the universe.
The guilt , and lack of knowledge is how they keep a slave in “slave mantility” Fredrick Douglass. The knowledge is all we been thought not to believe or listen to.example: they tell you in church that astrology is evil but in reality it is everything. You are God or the god source or whatever you decide to call that energy🙂
I disagree. Its impossible to use a big G in God when referring to humans. We are full of sin, and mistakes. Its like saying god can make mistakes, what your saying would have to apply to everyone as we are all naturally the same in nature. What about murderers, what about people that like sleeping around. What about people that rape old ladies, or abuse children. We are not God, Jesus is God.
@@joshuamartinpryce8424 People kill for their own purposes just like god has people kill for his. He allows rape and even has a woman marry her rapist. Children have to obey their parents is the commandment, so parents can be abusive and children have to obey them.
i really feel you deep down in my heart... specially the part of the depression and lack of selflove... thanks for sharing this. greetings from germany.
For me I went through a bad break up with someone I actually loved who tried to get me to realize the truth but I was ignorant. My brothers family for years taught me things here and there and I wanted to know more about their culture because it was like way different. I wasn't constantly put down and told to be quit. But I let that gas lighting get to me from my biological family. Well after the breakup. I went to my brothers family said look I wanna change I can't quit messing up. I learned about their beliefs in different worlds. That to be a good person but also realize theirs lessons with animals that are similar to our own human nature. I broke that unhealthy cycle my parents had. But I think for me if that issue didn't happen I wouldn't have gone I wouldnt have asked and got things right I told my adoptive mom what I call her now but I said I still beleive in Jesus Christ as my Savior but I also beleive these things too. I beleive it's truth that much of the Bible is used as a means to control and manipulate and I can't tell u I wasn't happy in church. I was being abused and I think people knee it and I did leave the church but I'm glad I'm continuing to change and grow and see what will happen. I feel like I'm not there yet but I'm on my way. Feels better day by day.
It doesnt seem like you totally feel better. The bible is groundwork and a foundation for spiritual christian walk. Its impossible to be a christian, without following the texts and scripture. I have also been abused at my church, but i do not let it get to me, every lesson is something to be learnt. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Just stay firm and focused on God, and everything will work itself out in the end.
@@joshuamartinpryce8424 you can be focused on God but you have to take care of yourself. If you get that peace in church that's great. But I didn't. I get that peace in nature and I'm happy to meet the Creator there in green magic in practical life. That's my love and They are amazing.
Depression is an actual medical illness and there are many treatments available. Please if anyone is suffering see a professional. And if you are around abusive people please get away! Thank you so much for your video.

One of the best choices I've ever made is living my life without christianity telling me how how to. Everything you shared is me right now. Thank you for being honest.

Hi, I am sorry to hear about your struggles. My conversion from New Age back into the Catholic Church occurred when I went to an adoration chapel in the presence of the Holy Eucharist located in the monstrance. I experienced peace and healing by being in the presence of Jesus Christ. I highly recommend to anyone reading this to go to an adoration chapel that contains the Holy Eucharist for at least 1 hour. See for yourself, hope this helps. Take care, God bless you.
I can identify with everything you said. I am currently going through the same thing and it is very hard. The truth is that Christianity is not true. In fact, it logically makes no sense, although I can't deny the supernatural as I've had so many spiritual experiences.
Your testimony is very relatable. Although I still believe in Jesus, I am wary of charismatic churches. It is liberating because, in reality, you cannot change your nature, and thus, you do not have total control of your behavior. You can improve it, but you will never be able to be perfect. So, in one hand, you have your natural tendencies, and in the other, you have a free will that sways within the boundaries of human nature. And they, both nature and free will, bring forward actions that are influenced by spiritual powers, whether from satan or the Holy God. Thanksfully, the Holy God is Merciful. Since our understanding of the world is dynamic, it is highly likely that your current point of view will change in the future. May Jesus bless you.
I'm so sorry that you went through all that, but I like to personally welcome you to the better afterlife, the universe, you see life is like a beautiful butterfly, when we are born we are squirming like caterpillars, during growth and realization we evolve into cocoons, and once we pass on this life we transcend into the universe like a beautiful butterfly, so keep that mindset, cuz even one person can become a difference to our society, we need more people like you in this world, your life matters along with everyone else
Uh idk why but my church group has always been very accepting of me and stuff (they dont judge me for beong overweight or having acne or stuff like that) but good to hear abt ur experiences
She is amazingly beautiful. I really mean that. I do not think her content is amazing though. Its a sad story, that many former believers go through, spirituality is defined by the amount of heat and fire the spiritual person can take. If you cant handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
@@kirstywillowlove Joshua is here and on MANY deconversion stories on RU-vid to mock and gaslight and abuse the people telling the story and try to invalidate their experiences. He is a perfect reflection of how Christians behave, not a shred of empathy, their religion actually makes them act like they are personality disordered.
I left christianity, but I am not atheist. If there is a god or more, they probably live their lifes in ways that we mortal, cannot understand. Therefore, it is not obligatoric to say that the gods are these or that
Hello, just come across your comment - what was the standard you were putting upon yourself ? How were you struggling to love Jesus ? genuinely interested 😃
@@mariabean1786 Christ set the bar very high - give your life to save another, perfect love. To become more Christlike was the goal. My love for Jesus, even with worship, prayer, study, and service, were only filthy rags. The desire to grow closer to him was the struggle.. The great paradox of being completely unworthy and worthy by grace. From the other side of faith I see that the concept of Jesus, or Allah, or God all require nothing and everything. A terrible twisting of the mind and emotions to exist in this alternate reality.
@@ceb591 I am so sad you feel this way, I’ve been following Jesus for over 30 years and have never felt anything of what you describe 🥲 it sounds like you were in some kind of legalism where you feel everything you do is never enough and you were never taught the deep truth of the gospel - and it’s true it is never enough none of us can attain perfection which is why we live under Gods grace and mercy, Jesus came to set us free from having to keep laws to maintain our salvation- although you’ll want to because you love the Lord. And he see your works and is pleased with them they are not filthy rags (who told you that?) they are the good works he has prepared for you to do. Where in the bible does Jesus say give your life to save another? Also becoming more Christ like is not a just goal it’s natural progression with the help of the Holy Spirit it’s not meant to be a burden, and this weird teaching about becoming closer to Jesus, sometimes it’s just mystical nonsense that I hear people go on about and can you feel that you’re not loving Jesus enough if you don’t have all the gooey feelings! Dear one, if we are saved he is closer to us than our very breath 😀
@@mariabean1786 I think you mistake my intention of personal commitment to be Christlike, with legalism. I am sure you have cried out to God to do his good work and change you - to be in tune with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Growing in knowledge and experience in the Christian walk; that was my desire.

I was very touched by all you had to say, as a fellow introvert and melancholic. I have been a Christian for over 40 years and really understand your struggles. I tell certain friends and family that my struggle with Christianity has involved much blood, sweat and tears, often being more exasperating than liberating. I am a voluminous reader of Christian theology (and even non-christian spirituality) that has helped me evolve. My conclusion is not that God doesn't exist but that we have often distorted his/her image so we wish he didn't exist. I respect those who say they are checking out of Christianity/churchianity but there does exist a remnant of progressive Christians alive and well to supportively help one fight to liberate God from our current distorted God images. The fashionable (evangelical) God images aren't necessarily the full truth.
"his/her" You might have been self-assumed "christian" for 40 years, but you are not a child of the Christian God if you think he is a "her". The Christian God is a Patriarch, Father, He
I went through the same thing. I was attending a church where the pastor would punch everybody in the face. After awhile of getting punched in the face it got annoying and i walked away. cool story bro

First of all, you are SO beautiful it’s hard to keep looking. I’m sure you get that a lot but that’s definitely a “first of all”. Second, you’re awesome to choose and trust yourself and have pinned the nails right on the right places. ❤
Totally relate, thank you for sharing part of your story. I don't think I'll ever stop deconstructing...it goes too deep. If you're interested, I'd recommend a book called "Why I Believed, Reflections of a Former Missionary" by Kenney W. Daniels. FASCINATING. Really helped me heal.
"don't think I'll ever stop deconstructing" ---- This is logically synonymous with perdition. "broken cisterns that can hold no water" (Jeremiah 2) "They shall be as nothing... As a nonexistent thing” (Isaiah 41) "he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found” (Psalm 27)
Here is another thought that I actually read but can't remember the author. There are over a billion different insects on this earth. Probably many billion that haven't even been discovered yet. Do you think a God, that can create such a massive and incredible array of living beings is going to send a human one into eternal suffering for not believing in a certain theological doctrine? No. Way.
Bravo 👏🏻. I am happy for you and glad that you can finally think for yourself. I feel so much better after I made the decision to leave all that religious nonsense behind. Always put yourself first otherwise you won’t be of any help for anyone. It’s not selfish to put yourself first it’s actually the smart thing to do. If you’re still struggling with depression see a therapist and see if that helps. I wish luck in your journey, stay strong because you’re a strong woman. I think the way you speak is so soothing and you would make a great therapist if you’re interested in that field just an idea.
You need the Gospel. It's so simple a child could understand. It's a free gift through God's grace that Jesus has offered to you! You just need to accept it by faith.
Amen.. 2 Corinthians 11:3 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the _simplicity that is in Christ._
when you left, how did you deal with death and the afterlife/consequenses for how we live our life? (heaven and hell)I ask, because I am struggling with this right now :(
Hi ,I hope you take my comment seriously, and give it a try and check it out for yourself. Believe me, all the confusion and contradictions that are in the Bible will find a logical and sufficient answer in Islam and with true evidence, just do your own research , you don't have to leave Jesus, all you have do is to correct your faith about him, and follow his true teachings, not lies of the church. Good luck .
@hid4768 I cannot follow Islam either because their Qura'an teaches hate and death towards Christians and the worldly people. It is another confused religion. And my friend got ostracised because she became atheist. Her own family flesh and blood disowned her. I cannot look to Islam. Sorry.
Heaven and Hell exist. Research NDE's (Near Death Experiences) if you're interested (start with Bryan Melvin). Yes there are consequences for the mistakes we make. Thank God the Creator is merciful and made a way for us to be exonerated. Read my other comment on this video. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Suffering isnt just something a christian goes through, its something everybody goes through. Its important to brace ourselves, and really dig deep and find that inner warrior within. Leaving is not the answer, because it depletes options.
@@joshuamartinpryce8424 Do you wait for people to make videos about leaving Christianity to comment on? I swear I see you on every one of these videos trying to convert people to seeing the world from your perspective.
I have to say your video was so Inspirational. Embrace your courage. I’m an agnostic/atheist but the Bible says that we are fashioned in the womb. To me this includes everything we when we are born. We are equipped to self sufficient, and in a sense powerful to walk in that. You have everything you need within yourself. Imo, christianity reinforces the opposite. Great video
Your decision to leave christian faith will undoubtedly shake many other christians, now they too can question themselves about what they've been taught by peers and clergymen...
I live in Alabama, I' am a 58 yr old widowed guy and going through the same crap, can we meet and/or at least get to talk and know each other as friends? I have lots I can share with you on your video subject. Thanks, my name is Douglas 🙂
@@kirstywillowlove But truth is found through conscious reasoning and understanding of the the world and God which doesn’t always line up with our intuition
When u said being molded into a meek person it’s like you can’t be your whole self. So the people that are dedicated to the faith are like robotic like are they really who you see? The faithful have no idea who they really ,their true self.
I disagree. I am faithful to God, but i have my own personality. Everybody in this world does. I ground my beliefs on Christ, but i drink cocktails sometimes, and i like women in different clothes. I go to church alot but i believe in worldly knowledge, we live in this world. Its possible to do that without being worldly.
@@joshuamartinpryce8424 You frequent quite a few deconversion vids. It's ok if you're questioning dogma. Hopefully these stories let you know its ok to doubt.
Something similar happened to me. I was earnestly praying one day when I abruptly stopped and asked myself "what am I doing". That was the beginning of the end of my religion.
I know being a Christian myself it's hard in so many ways but that's the true meaning of being a true follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, for Christ had already said those who wants to follow me should pick up his/her cross, we should deny ourselves and walk along the narrow road, I'm willing to obey God because I've experienced His mercy and miracles that He'd done in my life that no one could ever fathom.All you need todo is have faith and wait, for our God knows our needs and desires more than we can imagine. Hence I Love God and would continue to praise and worship Him all days of my life... Praise The Lord Jesus Christ Hallelujah.. Amen
Greetings I hope you know you are helping to fulfill 2Thessalonians 2:3 along with countless others. Are you sure you're ready to give up this faith? You don't sound like you're really sure.
Great content. I really related, albeit from a slightly different perspective. I could easily have been the pastor who gave you that “biblical” advice. Thank you for a very good presentation of your story. All the best!
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 1 john 2:15
