Bros been here since creation ''Bible Lore"

literally 😭

ya, in the poem he’s described as a handsome man. Sin is tempting, attractive, and deceitful. If the devil is supposed to embody sin and evil, it would make sense that he would be charismatic and relatable on a surface level.

Excactly. It doesn't say that satan was a good guy, it just kind of humanises him thus making us question his motives even more.

That or a really short attention span to forget how Satan created death and was the architect of humanity's downfall.

Because that's ALL the devil can do. He's powerless in any material sense. All he can do is tempt. Of course he'd have to get pretty good at it. He knows he's going to lose in the end. he knows he's outmatched. He's just a petulant child trying to flip over the game board before he inevitably loses and bring down as many people with him as possible. He's really a pathetic character when you get down to it.

@@nitsu2947 how can you force via video? theres extremely rare cases of forced conversion anyway. Its a faith based religion so you cant even "force" it if they dont believe in it

@@dbj116 "in the past" thats a very clear phrase, i never denied it happened in the past, im talking about 2023. I know chinese and japanese and the middle east, and romans all did it. It was very very common. Still is in many middle eastern countries, at least apostasy is

"[...] and Satan was there too, but fuck that guy, I'm not writing about him. Moving on"

I am very glad to hear that you are rebuilding that connection, and your dad is opening up to your beliefs. Speaking from personal experience, a lot of old school religious people are hesitant to accept anything beyond what they were taught. I love God. The infinite presence of love, a being without being. Although, I am very against religion in general, as I've seen far too many people be hurt and pushed away from God, or innocent people become brainwashed cult members from what a religion teaches. Regardless of what you call it, putting God in a box is limiting the infinite and seems to just be an excuse for people to gain power as they "Speak for God".

I love this ♥

Unfortunately my dad was a pastor and it just always seems like we can't have a talk without him shoveling religion down my throat. I appreciate him and know that's just how he is, it gets tiring, but its alright. I still like to read the stories from the bible. Its intriguing and great writing

That's awesome! Good luck you two 👋

You sound conceded...you the find the bible fascinating? Yet your not committed to true faith or religion. This guy isn't explaining the bible lol try some humility,and step out of the flesh,and try and actually open the bible and read more than a page. I'm sorry,this just makes no sense at all.

only issue i had is him talking about how dumb people are for viewing satan as the good guy for giving humanity intellect. his example of people thinking “the devil is an evil child murderer” is ironic because that basically describes god lol

@@WATCHPINSTRIPETV bro, imagine still trying to convert people into your religion when they don't want to? It's 2023 just let us do our own thing and you do yours. If your God is so fair then he'll let us in his pearly white gates by simply being a good person.

​@@PeacePills. You seem to be ignorant of the true story of Scripture. You are creating a straw man's straw man. Satan did not give humanity intellect; he did not give humanity wisdom or knowledge; a fallen angel procreated with Eve, via Eve 'eating of the forbidden fruit.' Adam took her and accepted this transgression against him, raising Cain, of whom was the seed of the Fallen One, and not of his own seed, thus him sharing the forbidden fruit (Even convinced him not to throw her out and to partake in such things, so he did, thus spawning Abel). Adam got Eve pregnant with Abel (later Seth), and that is the Adamic seed; the seed of 'the snake' (Serpent seed) will always been at enmity with the seed of Adam (the Adamic seed). Cain is the seed of the serpent; this is why 'nobility' claim to be 'blue bloods' and of a separate race to that of 'humanity as a whole.' Rh- blood is a huge thing, with those having it being the true Adamic inheritors. The seed of Abraham is a specific subset of the Adamic race, of which YHWH's covenant is only with them (us). These is not 'j***,' as you might think, for they make up less than 5% of the inheritance. Lastly, the flood was not 'global,' and the Bible never says the flood was 'global;' it only makes mention that it covered the earth, and 'earth' translates to 'land.' SO, the Bible states that there was a flood that covered the land. This was a regional flood, which is how the seed of Cain was able to survive. The bible talks about seeds a lot, and this is physical descendants and offspring of people. A very, very recent phenomena is to push the notion that 'seed' means 'spiritual seed,' which is in total contradiction to Scripture. To even think in this way is to call YHWH a liar, which is hilarious for those that claim to be 'Christians.'

​@@alexjustalexyt1144 There are no 'pearly gates.' The Bible makes no mention of people going to heaven when they die. It also makes no mention of anyone going to hell; the 'lake of fire' is not 'hell,' and those cast in the lake of fire receive the 'second death,' which is literally the death that atheists believe in (total non-existence). Modern Christianity is honestly a complete joke, not even understanding their own 'religion.' Modern Christianity is a creation of Jesuits and Rockefeller funded seminary schools disseminating a religious worldview meant to cause its 'sheep' to sleep and never awaken to the Truth. The Bible predicted this, in that the churches would all be false churches, its leaders false leaders, and its followers 'sheep easily lead astray,' being massively ignorant of the truth via their own laziness. To put it bluntly, the modern 'Christian' actually worships Lucifer without realizing it.

Which beauty and triumphs?

@@Flaschenteufel this video is about it😂. Even though you can debate the existence of Jesus, and can be completely atheist, its not hard to say that to be like this is admirable. And in life, for all the bad people there are, there are plenty of good ones, too. You just tend to only hear about the bad ones.

>Jesus had it easy What part of "he was born in the flesh" and "he was born a man" did you not understand? Imagine you know you will be tortured and nailed to a cross, for your lifetime, and you still go on suffering hunger for the prophets before you - only to be sold out by the synagogue of Satan. Would you call that easy? Stop blaspheming, I'm a catholic too. Both you and me would give up far before Jesus would.

@@revisit8480that’s what they said? “It’s easy to say...” not just, “he has it easy”

@@revisit8480 Are you braindead or do you simply lack reading comprehension skills?

@@revisit8480 this is why there are people who won’t touch Christianity with a 10 foot pole. This right here.

I grew up Roman Catholic, and while I still believe in Jesus and God - I wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself a Catholic anymore, as the church has strayed far too much away from the Word of God and the teachings of the Bible for me to associate myself with, and tie my name to them. But while I may not believe in all of their teachings and practices anymore, I know what they taught me in my youth, and I am confused nowadays because I was taught that Jesus was the *SON* of God - not God, Himself - by the Catholic church. My CCD (catechism) classes taught me as such, as did my church's priest, and my mother who learned the same in Catholic school back in the '60s and '70s. I'm in my late 20s, and it's only been recently that I've seen Catholics describing Jesus literally as God - and it doesn't make sense to me as I specifically remember that Jesus prayed to God before the crucifixion, told his followers not to worship him and to instead worship God, that only God - not Jesus - knows the specific date and time the world will end, etc. And if Jesus is literally God, then why would the devil believe he can manipulate Him when he is as Jesus? Why would he offer Him the world, when God already had it? Plus, if Jesus is God, then that means man is able to kill God - and it means that the Jews and the Romans literally killed God - amongst many other problems and contradictions. It doesn't make sense to me that people claim Jesus is God, and I never thought this was a Catholic belief. I understand the Trinity is a Catholic belief, but as it's not in the Bible, I don't subscribe to it - but I get it - although I don't think that the Trinity literally equates Jesus to being God and instead just describes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (the spirit of God). If they were all the same thing, you wouldn't have to descibe each of them - you could just refer to one of them and the three parts would be a given. And if the Trinity were a real thing that somehow made it so God is literally Jesus, I strongly believe that Jesus would have told us this. He didn't. I do realize that as a human, I can never understand God fully - but I believe that if God wanted to be worshipped as such, he would have told us so directly, either through Jesus or one of His earlier prophets. But as I said, I'm just a human and can be wrong... ...So tell me Catholics, were you taught that Jesus IS God instead of was the son of God? If so, why do you believe this? Were any other Catholics taught what I was? I'm pretty intrigued by this revelation, as I've only heard of it recently and I'd like to know why and where this is all coming from as of late. Thanks for reading. Have a blessed day! 🌻

I wanted to be sure you all knew I FINALLY have my baptism scheduled for 9:30am MST on September 9th, right before my birthday on the 10th, which is a Sunday this year. I’m so excited, everyone! Talked with my pastor of course. It’s so exciting. The only thing I always worry about is me crying and looking weak (I want to represent Christ well and not look weak!) as I want to be a warrior in Christ. If anyone has advice for that I’m all ears hahaha Just wanted to say, thanks for all the support. I could’ve taken baptism slots the next day when I posted my comment, but really wanted this to have significance and to have something to look forward too. I just imagine the holy dove and maybe Jesus and my deceased mom say, “you did good”. Thanks again, @wendigoon. Changing people’s lives.

​@@BiscuitDelivery lmfao that's morbidly hilarious taking his dead first wife into account

When he was talking about Jesus being perfect and dying for us so we can be imperfect but reconciled to God's love in the last video it was so personal ❤.... then Wendigoon went on a tangent about some guy who wrote a wacky wattpad fanfic about St. Paul and a random girl with Avenger-level superpowers that went viral in the 3rd century for all the wrong reasons when the dude tried to get it included in the Bible...so there's that😆

The term biblical nerd actually helped put things into perspective, when you think of a religious person you probably think of a very serious person, or at least I did. And then I realized, the Bible is a subject that one can nerd out about. So that definitely changed my perception from religious people being very serious to just regular people. If that makes sense

I agree

There should be a musical play based on this. XD

Almost like he knows the guy

Same brother, I’m glad to hear you’re on a better path that hopefully you’re happier with :) I know I am

God doesn’t always use preachers and priests to share his messages! Sometimes it can be from a RU-vidr. No matter where you get your message, as long as it’s received!

Lmfao right

Milton had it together. I just read his tract On Education, and it is EXACTLY what we need for our youth, and the divide between that and what we have today is vast.

I totally agree. I don’t practice any of the Judeo-Christian religions but seeing others faith become stronger always strengthens my faith in my own practice. I just love seeing people get closer to their spirituality, no matter how they do so.

I am still attempting to read it.. thats cool, I feel the same way but even if there has been some gossip, the church here saved my life.

Yeshua Hamashiach is God in the flesh, the Son of God, the Word of God, and he died so that you may be presented blameless in the sight of the Father. And so you may inherit his kingdom. The LORD Yeshua Hamashiach is the only way to the Father and his kingdom. Repent of your sins accept him into your life as your LORD and Savior before it's too late, every day is not guaranteed. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. May God bless you.

@@blessed2338 Just woke up from a dream where Jesus pulled me away from men and demons trying to use me sexually and exploit me..he closed the doors they had opened in the past and the traumas and built me a fortress around me and my family, he told me he needed me to get to work and those doors would remian closed from now on and they wont win but he needs me to get to work, he showed me many little groups of people and when they prayed together they shown bright and nothing could touch them, he needed me to be one of them immediatly and not let my past control me or what men are trying to do to my earthly reputation. It was amazing, then i see this as my first comment of the day! THANKYOU! I love you and I love JESUS! YESHUA! So many blessings to you! Also it showed my sisters needed me and family to pray for them and go see them and to not give up.. he showed me that they are nothing, the evil men, compared to the love we share..and they know this, which is why they attack in jealosy. Blessings to you again :) What a dream! I prayed for a Jesus dream for so long again I had almost givin up, prayed last night for one, prayed this morning, then boom, 13 hr sleep and there it is lol. And this beautiful comment. He spoke through you here :) And my cat knew Jesus in the dream lol

That’s just people being people, it happens, and is not indicative of an entire religion, nor the concept of church.

I hope you continue appreciating God’s word for what it is - God’s, not the church’s. We are to have a relationship with God first and foremost, and unfortunately, people (and churches) will disappoint us with worldly corruption. While I think it is important to have a relationship with brothers and sisters in Christ, that is not your faith. Bless you.

I wish modern stories could make literature like this without it being done through an analogy or be made by people who never read/don't care about the Bible. These stories are so good but i haven't seen a good one made past 1960

BIBLE ERRORS AND CONTRADICTIONS The Bible is not historically accurate⬇️⬇️⬇️ Contradiction #1 Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel? (a) God did (2 Samuel 24:1) (b) Satan did (1 Chronicles 21:1). Contradiction #2 In that count how many fighting men were found in Israel? (a) Eight hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9). (b) One million, one hundred thousand (1 Chronicles 21:5). Contradiction #3 How many fighting men were found in Judah? (a) Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9). (b) Four hundred and seventy thousand (1 Chronicles 21:5). Contradiction #4 God sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine? (a) Seven (2 Samuel 24:13). (b) Three (1 Chronicles 21:12). Contradiction #5 How old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem? (a) Twenty-two (2 Kings 8:26 ). (b) Forty-two (2 Chronicles 22:2). Contradiction #6 How old was Jehoiachin when he became king of Jerusalem? (a) Eighteen (2 Kings 24:8). (b) Eight (2 Chronicles 36:9). THESE ARE 6 OF MANY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE. The Bible is not the word of God it has been corrupted and changed. If the Bible was the Actual Book of God it wouldn't have any mistakes. Also its not historically reliable.

huh

Yes, explaining how it's totes logical, and not an incoherent , nonsensical contradiction (and 100% extra-biblical assumption) to claim Jesus as "fully god, yet fully man", is COMPLETELY "objective" and factual... ...And it DEFINITELY isn't just the Christian variant of the exact same goofball, evidence-free "spiritual" jibberish we get from Islam, Mormonism, Hindus, Scientology, Raeliens, or the stoner down the street after the "sacrament" of way too much kratom and solvent-huffing... (which probly closely resembles how ALL these religions started, in the first place.)

i relate to this, too. it wasn't so much as i was forced to it, but in my culture, it is the norm to be roman-catholic. i do not know if i believe in God or not, and if it's because i grew up with that belief or because i came to the conclusion myself. either way, these videos are still very cool to watch, and they certainly do give good information to talk to others around you about!

It seems to me that church is basically at least 2 or more people discussing the word of God. So you speaking with ur friends or people only about the Bible, studying it and learning from it can be seen as church. In my opinion

Jesus was a real historical person according to scholars. He is also the highest example set by any human ever in history. You will see him one day and he will embrace you with a love you cannot imagine... or cast you into eternal darkness. Do not let others influence your decision about Christ, if you don't like that church find another one. God Bless. 🙏

@@jacktodd3439 No I have read the King James. I just feel it's a lot of moral stories and less of a real history.

Same here. Agnostic with zen buddhist leanings but disdain for religion. Yet I find myself listening these videos of Wendigoon. I appreciate his delivery that is simply educational but not preachy. Can't stand preaching or converting. Appreciate history, philosophical aspects and culture and that's enough reason for me to listen to this man.

Exactly, its informative and entertaining instead of indoctrinating. Like, hes not telling us what to believe, just the story and what his personal thoughts are on it. I LOVE hearing about different belief systems and its hard to find viewpoints like his. I like to think Wendi tells the narrative like its supposed to be told, like Jesus/ deciles would have told it.

They go over every book of the Bible in short, easy-to-understand videos, only a few minutes at a time. I know it really helped me out. God bless! :)

same

Literally me

But your faith wasn't strong enough to read the bible yourself?

@@Kanggaxx I think the problem has more to do with time, energy, and understanding. For example, even the US Constitution is written above a college reading-level. Since the average person's reading-level is much lower than that, (at least in the States) it takes the average person significant time and effort to read the Constitution, if they can understand it at all. Shakespeare? Even worse. Now, imagine that, instead of a book written in Modern English a few hundred years ago, it was a book written in multiple ancient languages thousands of years ago. You can see how this might be a *tad* draining, especially if you have to juggle work and family on top of it. Add in the fact that ANE writers had a high-context culture, where you're expected to understand most of the context before you even pick up the book? And that much of this context was lost until recent archaeology has rediscovered it in the past few decades? Then add on the high level of artistic flourish, and the sheer volume of the text? There's a reason that personal Bible reading was never the main priority for the laity. I mean, low literacy rates and the high cost of printing were certainly factors as well, but this was the main reason. Scripture was historically read primarily in the Liturgy, and still is to this day. Personal Bible reading is always encouraged, but group Bible studies and the Church calendar have absolutely primacy of place. A common error I see among Atheists and Evangelicals is to act as if they're the first ones to read the Bible, and that whatever interpretation pops into their heads must obviously be the right one. Hate to break it to you, but even the world's leading Bible scholars have issues understanding everything, and I don't put much more faith in you. It really is that complex of a book. There's a reason why we scour Patristics and cite the Early Church Fathers. From the outset, there have been people who "read it for themselves" and end up remaking theology in their own image. Sabellianism, Arianism, Nestorianism... These all occurred because someone read a passage and immediately assumed they had the correct interpretation without consulting the rest of Scripture or the wisdom of the Church. (Papists, on the other hand, replace Scripture entirely, and would believe any absurdly blatant lie of an interpretation so long as it's endorsed by the Roman See, but that's another topic.) So, maybe, instead of accusing those who are too busy, tired, or poorly educated to regularly read one of the most difficult books you can find on shelves today of lacking trust in our Lord, perhaps you should have enough humility to realize you probably aren't much of a Biblical scholar yourself. And, on the condition that you are, (which I have serious reason to doubt) it's only because you have been blessed with enough free time and intellectual rigour to devote countless hours to the topic. For the average layman, attending regular liturgical worship and differing to the opinions of professional theologians may not be ideal, but it's likely the best we can expect in this fallen world. God bless. --Acts 8:30-31 "If you are a theologian, you will pray truly. And if you pray truly, you are a theologian." --Evagrius Ponticus, *De* *Oratione* ch. 61

Have you read the Gospel of John?

@@sweatt4237 no I have not

@@akemi3517 If you are an avid reader it would probably only take you an hour and a half. I'm a slow reader:) We are all very opinionated and have strong feelings about the subject one way or another but you have an opportunity to find out for yourself who Jesus is. I pray you are able to read it, God Bless you. 🙏

A great place to start is the BibleProject. Their videos are only a few minutes long, and they cover every book of the Bible and most major motifs. The problem most readers have is connecting the narrative themes of Scripture. Unlike what you might have heard people say, the Bible was not intended to be overly simple or understood by anyone at a casual glance. Instead, like any work of art, its volumes were composed by particular people with a particular audience in mind, both being ancient Israelites. Naturally, this has frustrated many generations of readers over the millennia, but that's true of many works of art. Only when you have the full story does anything resembling Christianity start to make sense, and you begin to see yourself as part of God's story. Anyway, hope it helps. Take care! :)

The more you understand it the sooner you shall believe and rejoice, trust me

I love to hear that a follower of Christ has found their way again. That's so awesome to hear man, I'm happy for you.

Im in a very similar boat, funnily enough. My parents are both preachers who were taught firsthand by ken ham and kent hovind, and i was raised from birth to be a diehard pentecostal. However, during my own reading of the bible, and watching the "christlike" demeanor of preachers being nothing but a façade, i started to grow hatred and resentment for existence, the earth, everything. These videos, alongside reading/consuming other "christian fanfic", or man's attempt to empathize with the divine, have helped me come back around to God, and see the hope in everything once again. Wendi may think these videos are campy or cheesy, but i hope he sees how theyve helped folk like us

🙏🔥

Same, even though I'm not a good Christian

isnt Christianity itself full of con-men and charlatans though

Especially since Satan will do anything, lie, cheat and manipulate to get anything he wants and stray humanity from Christ. If a person truly thinks Satan has a point, they better stay away from door to door salesmen.

Yoo big congrats on coming back to God, Jesus loves you my guy. I recommend listening to some Levi Lusko sermons on youtube too for extra Christian exploration, he's pretty relatable and a real cool guy! 💪💪💪

welcome back! God loves you and so do we!

wonderful wonderful!! wendi’s videos always make my spirit so happy and i think it really is the way he talks about Christianity. i hope your journey back home is warm and peaceful.

These are very sweet comments 😊

The most based witness moment

They're basically like, "Dude, not after what happened last time" I thought that part was so funny

😂Bilial having a p0rn/lust addiction and even lucifer knows it's a problem

"Stopit, get some help"-Satan probaly.

why do you guys censor the word porn like your gonna get demonetized

look, i typed the word normally, oooooooh spoooooooky 🤡

😂😂

Truly impressive 👏

a new topic to talk about in the conspiracy theory iceberg

ive been staring at that clock and it didnt move 🤣🤣

Does it relate to John 6:44? I know nothing, but I googled and that seems to be an important passage?

As a Christian who doesn't trust the word written by fallen men in the bible, who questions everything and studies Buddhist teachings, thank you for being, brother. May your brief stint in the physical be joyful, and I hope to see you when we return to the Source. I realized a while back that all of us are reaching for the same thing.

Yes, wendigoon is a true pastor Not one of those greedy bastards who fly private jets around the states preaching about humility.

Same, as a pagan I feel pretty much like this.

​@scotty Toohotty OK, bud

@@AdrianoTheOne Anything from you, rather than your ego? Bud? You know something I don't, right? 😉

Convert neow

same here, its so interesting!!

@@eatinggum9093 I’m atheist and i’m seriously considering it

@@jsyve7700highly recommend

@@eatinggum9093 I don’t belive in god, jesus, or the holy spirit, therefore I cannot convert. I also do not wish to convert. I do, however, respect other peoples beliefs and whether or not they believe in said things. Unlike the original commenter, I did have a lot of prior knowledge of Christianity before watching Wendigoon’s videos and was Christian for a long time. I no longer am, but I still love to watch these videos.

Christianity is in my top 10 fandoms, just below the Abraham Faith Fandom

yes yes yes yes yes

100%!

​@@wulf2623 OK, you might be kidding and that's cool, but I legitimately love Bible-based fanfic; in case you're serious, would you happen to have any recs on AO3?

Bible lore is kinda cool

😂😂😂

Also, people who read Lolita and think the man have a point 💀

@@tomboywarrior3229 Those same people are probaby turned on by the sewer scene in It by Stephen King.

I never heard of The Black Cat poem. What is it?

@@dethbedsmolzwhent.t6498 It is a short story, from a POV of a violent and completely insane guy that kills his cat and later his wife too. The story is written from his POV, so you hear his justifications and excuses, at some point even guilt, but you as the reader know he is delusional and absoloutly insane and in no way a good, normal, sane dude

or "mein kampf" and thinking the author makes sense?

If you don’t mind, may I ask why you are non-religious? And are you Antheist or agnostic?

@@SteamTrainTy I just don't have any reason to believe in a religion, it's just one of those things that exists that I don't subscribe to. I don't have a specific reason for NOT being religious other than it's just not necessary. I don't need to have the fear of God to be a good person, and I don't fear inevitable death enough to want to actively seek an afterlife, especially something banking off of hopes and beliefs. For lack of a better explanation.

Read Isaiah 53 talks about Jesus before Jesus

@@nicklikesYT I will take a look! Thanks for the rec.

​@@nicklikesYTread the verses around it. It's not talking about Jesus.

@@appocalypsechild Yeah, 95% Christians I see or have talked to give me the impression that they've not even read the Bible, or if they have, they're terribly misinterperting it and cherry-picking. Like I can never be a Christian because I've read the Bible and know everything that happens there and what God is all about. But I can love Jesus Christ and what he represents. I don't love God, but I love Jesus. It's kinda funny that...

@@jesustyronechrist2330 95% of Christians also aren't Biblical Scholars. American Evangelicalism has done itself no favors by encouraging its members to evangelize with almost zero understanding of apologetics. There are plenty of incredibly intelligent well spoken Theologians who have written, spoken and debated the Philosophy of the Christian God and Biblical Truths. The Bahnsen vs. Stein debate is a great introduction to the Transcendental Argument and the evidence of God.

@@jesustyronechrist2330 What were the parts that made you not wanna be a Christian?

rethink in a good way or a bad way?

​​@@jesustyronechrist2330 what truman said, we're ALL one. He wasn't Christ until he was baptized. Christ consciousness. It's a way/state of being. All things are God/of God. Jesus Christ is literally a representation of you, or us rather as humanity. We all have God in us. You are the source of all things. Much love brotha!

Respect +

I'm an atheist but I'm all in for watching Wendigoon and his passion for what he believes. He has every right to believe it, and I'd fight to the death for his freedom to do so.

same here. Paradise Lost is the video I show EVERYONE. His passion reignites a spark in me I'd long forgotten about.

Agnostic and same. I love Christian lore

@@rainbowscarface2496Thanks!

Not only religion based videos, but videos made by people who have love for the religion, but are open to other points of view. Goon boy is awesome, and the main reason is that he isn't shoving it down your throat, or trying to convince you of anything. All he's doing is speaking about why he loves it, and what it means to him.

Could not agree more.

Boom! I love the lore, not the organization.

I’m getting there too. I’m struggling in my faith currently and have been made fun of for being a Christian in the past, so seeing Wendigoon be so easily open about his faith and seeing how successful and well-liked he is amongst both Christians and non-Christians is pretty cool to say the least.

It's not weird my friend, it's just how it is :)

@@zogwort1522 this is interesting. A lack of abuse in your life… odd way to say it but I agree 100 percent. When I was young I went to youth group with a friend and skateboard and stuff. I did well. Then studied science in college and had very liberal professors who hated god and truly pushed that on us and the company I worked for were all scientists and obviously most do not believe. So it was hammered in and of course at 21 I knew all the answers in life and become that smart 8th grader who has figured out that miracles are pretty out there and I know the truth of the world. Then of course alcoholism came in full swing that brought crippling depression and anxiety, and through many years of agonizing pain both mentally and physically I fell to my knees and accepted God back into my life. I mean it didn’t stop me from drinking and I still deal with it and other things, but it’s a hell of a lot better than carrying my cross in life alone I’ll tell you that. I would have never came back to God if I could have dealt with it on my own. I would have on my death bed I know I’m not brave enough to walk into death alone though. Faith is and odd thing. How we get there is pretty normal, through pain usually. It’s sort of amusing the more we know and especially recently with major leaps in science the evidence is becoming so staggering staunch atheists are even admitting ok… there is something. Life is a trip.

@@zogwort1522 Hitchens vs. Lennox. I understand your stance now. Sounds like you are deep into it. This unanswerable question that always leads to nihilism it seems. I hope you find whatever it is that will ground you in this life. Or maybe you just knowing what you know is enough. Seems to be for most people. It just didn’t work for me. I’m not good at many things in life but I am pretty good at reading people. Having been on both sides of the aisle, even if this side is a little diluted, people are mostly happy and are grounded I’ve found. You can spot the difference in people very quickly and accurately as well. Although my beliefs may waver from others a bit in this religion, I just keep it to myself. Like most. I dunno what I’m really even trying to say here. I guess there are no easy answers in life. It’s called faith for a reason. I wish I could have been born into a strict household in Saudi Arabia lol. It would have fixed a lot of things for me. Oh well, so be it.

@@zogwort1522 I agree. You are the first person I’ve ever heard say that.

He's just the prime example that redemption is always possible but it requires for one to actually desire it. It doesn't just happen. God's love is massive and for everyone but if people reject that it's not on God.

exactly! I had the same thought but didn't know how to explain it.but u did it perfectly

i like takes like this because people a part of the religion are so scared of saying anything that might sound like they’re defending the devil because of the way people will look at them but as a human i think it’s our job to use empathy and ask questions

He understands he just doesn't care. Hence why he devoted the rest of his life to make yours hell.

🔥

Most of the time Bible stories are told in the most boring way possible, compared to Greek or Norse stories, that's the problem.

@@twinzzlers That and a lot of bible stories are told as “If you do what this person did, you will go to hell.” They arent as fun and whimsical as greek or norse stories because they have been used to shame and discriminate people for thousands of years.

​@@miyumixxx which is why people who discriminate aren't any better than any other sinner in the eyes of God

@@miyumixxx It's something I've struggled with a ton in my own journey towards God. So many people teach how God is all merciful and loving in one hand, then turn around a second later and proclaim how God will condemn His creations to eternal torment in the other. Based on what I've seen, there are lots of religions out there that teach everyone who isn't a part of their faith is going to hell, this is an incredibly depressing and troubling thought to me. It's why I'm LDS/Mormon, our faith doesn't take the, everyone else goes to hell approach. Rather, our leaders have actually stated that there will be more people in heaven who aren't a part of our religion than those who are a part of it. We believe it's not about what religion you're a part of, it's how you live your life and treat people. People will even have the opportunity to accept Christ after death in our religion.

@@themidnighttavern6784 I struggled with it a lot too in my journey of faith. I grew up in a christian household, fell in love with science and automatically assumed I had to he an atheist, but eventually have gotten to where I am now as an agnostic theist. It is like the goldilocks story, but with religion instead of beds, chairs, and porridge for me. Honestly, after all the conflicting stories I started to wonder if everyone was just wrong. That maybe “god” isn’t really “God”, maybe they are someone else, maybe they don’t like being named, maybe they don’t interact with the world or maybe they do. I figured, none of us know, and I’m happier not making assumptions and that as long as I make good moral decisions, whomever might be up there will be content with that. I mean, I’m really just hoping that whoever is running this circus of a universe is not a dictator with very specific rules like the super religious christians like to claim lol I honestly never knew that mormons had differing beliefs than those of typical Christians, which is genuinely super interesting. Probably mostly because all you ever hear about them are that they are a “cult” and that they are “nut jobs”. Personally, I literally don’t care as long as everyone minds their business and is happy with their faith or lack thereof :)

@@user-fde7kp9cmq2uomg wendigoo

fr congrats Mr. & Mrs. Wendigoon!!

You should watch The Chosen. It's a TV series about the life of Jesus. Highly recommend.

There's a difference between a (mordern) Christian and a follower of Jesus' teachings, you dont have to label a belief or appreciation for the stories. Just food for thought:) always keep exploring and reading into more than what people read at you as a child. I'm not Christian btw for clarification lol

@Ben Ten On Ganja im sorry but... what

Being disrespectful is wrong, but also we kinda do have to tell them they are wrong yk

Oh man, he was one of my favorites and there's so much weirdness involved that people just don't know about. It'd be great.
