These Ten "Christian" Cliches NEED to GO! 

Amen.

Amen!

There is no one good but God True Story He said it! LOL Self righteousness stinks!!!

RIP Sproul. Currently reading his book Romans: The Righteous Shall Live By Faith. Really good book so far

LOL

Hahaha good one 😝

God bless you

I spit laughed! It's unexpected!

😂🤣

Right on!!!

Matthew 5 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

It only happened once and He volunteerd

“There is none good no not one.”

@@playdiscgolf1546 So. the why is still there.

@@michaelmarshall9132 because Bible Nevers says we'll be transformed into angels, but rather into the body like Jesus has when He's resurrected. Physical and spiritual at the same time

@@michaelmarshall9132 Noone has said that babies dont go to the Father in heaven! Of course the baby is in heaven . The POINT IS that they dont turn into angels. The reason a baby goes to heaven automatically is because they are not at an age of accountability for their sins. They are not old enough to understand anything about sinning against the Lord. I hope this helps.

@@michaelmarshall9132 because scripture says it's not.

@@michaelmarshall9132 why would you believe that?

BABIES and Children UNDER the age of ACCOUNTABILITY go to Heaven with JESUS. It is a Principle from GODs Character and Jewish Rabbinical Tradition.

Always heard this excuse from a brother who's into a business where he uses bribery to succeed.

That's the enemy tricking him

Your response to him. 😂 Perfect

Great morning to you all! I really love you my brothers and sisters in christ!! God has fixed my heart with his love!! I can love others now unconditionally and forgive!! You all are in my thoughts!! I hope you have a good day today! May God bless with happiness, joy and peace.

Oh, he has an understanding all right, but it's with Satan, not God.

Well they probably watch what Daily Wire does with their videos and copied the trend!

@@JacobW98 Actually I've seen this effect way before Daily Wire started it :)

😂😂😂

For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; evil cannot remain with you. Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes, you hate all who do evil, Tehillim (Psa) 5:5‭-‬6 God hates the sinner too. Thank God for mercy. So are we to say, “It is unjust for God to do this”? Heaven forbid! For to Moshe He says, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will pity whom I pity.” Thus it doesn’t depend on human desires or efforts, but on God, who has mercy. Romans (Rom) 9:14‭-‬16

@@jacobliles557 While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Yes, God hates the sinners thus the punishments, or discipline. But in our sinning, he loves us so much to die for us. He is love. He loves us but he is also just.

@@jacobliles557 yes *God* hates the sinner but we are not supposed to hate. We are to love and forgive his creation as he has forgiven us. God has a right to hate as he does it justly. Matthew 22:39 “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Neither one is Biblical.

This seems appropriate as a commentary on 1 Peter 2:12. Our very lives reflect who we are and a Christian is identified by his fruit (Luke 6:43-45). Words have to be in concert with behavior (Colossians 4:5-6). If one speaks the Gospel and lives as a pagan, it is hypocrisy. Behaving properly is itself a witness and can be a key to open doors. The saying does not preclude the need to speak. The usual rendering of the saying is, "Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary, use words." It is sad that many use this "clich" 😉 to support an idea that words are not necessary at all, since it seems to have a useful point.

This is a good one. Too many people don't live what they preach. We all need Jesus. If your Spirit is encouraged when you hear this one, that's good. We should strive to be holier in our actions, our heart, from the inside out. The words will come to. And probably less but more powerful.

Christians are _begotten_ by God, not adopted(1 Pet. 1:3). The "adoption" belief is based on translated bibles erroneously rendering "sonship" as "adoption". The Holy Spirit is the very DNA of God, as Peter so eloquently put it(2 Pet. 1:4). Having the Holy Spirit is what make someone His child.

Yep, Jesus even said the pharisees were of THEIR father, the devil.

But we are ALL made in God's image

@@theeternalsbeliever1779 The word υἱοθεσία is NOT "erroneously" translated as "adoption". It's translated that way because that's what it means! Apart from Christ, we were not children of God, but in Christ we have been given the right to become His children (John 1:12).

@@theeternalsbeliever1779 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" 1 Peter 1:3 What is the "again" for? Are we "begotten" twice? Or, could it be this "begotten" "again" is better translated "brought again" as in "reminded again"? "(brought us again) unto a lively hope by/through/unto the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead..." i.e according to God's abundant mercy, He has reminded us of where our lively/living hope is: it is in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Just a thought.

Hate hearing that but people will find out hopefully sooner rather than later!

Well, that's sort of true in the ultimate sense, but not in the way that people who say that normally mean it! Normally people say that to brush off their sin being called out. But of course if the one calling it out is using Scripture to do so, well, that's God's Word.

Well in the end, it is true. Unfortunately sometimes pointing out another’s faults or mistakes can become hurtful.

absolutely.

😂

Yeah, like "I'm about to violate your soul but it's not wrong because God put it on my heart" , lol

What is it..

Hahah this is absolutely true 😂

Yes. I'm cringing at his "clitches".

Lol I found it funny 😝

He made me question my dictions. 🌞 Glad am correct. 😅🤣

I saw the mispronouncing more as intentional irony. The acceptance people have that believes the clichés to be truthful and Biblical without question, also made people believe that they may have been mispronouncing cliché incorrectly. It caught one’s attention and perked the ears to listen to the video. Or, it could just be mispronounced, like many, many words I hear people use everyday.

@@JohnHH59 i love it 😂 Pronouncing words like they're ACTUALLY spelled is hilarious.

LOL

How is being gay compared to adultery? 🙃 Anyhow the churches are full of adulterers anyhow.

I'd say NO real churches would accept those lifestyles, at least not after being confronted about it with Scripture.

@@Falcon-um7vo You say: "I'd say NO real churches would accept those lifestyles, at least not after being confronted about it with Scripture" (edited). Your comment above does not seem to appear on the public platform, although I received it personally in my inbox, so not sure if it is a technical difficulty or it is purposely hidden or "edited" from view, as it does say "edited" in brackets. Nonetheless, my reply will make little sense if it is published without the original comment from yourself which engendered it, so I have re-typed it above for clarity. There seems to be a lot of disappearing comments lately, on this 'public' site. At any rate, if you are referring to people who commit adultery in the churches that I cited occurs ubiquitously without the same censure as homosexuality etc., because usually those issues are more closer to home and thus less likely to be condemned vehemently from the pulpit, then I would say from my own observation that heterosexual immorality is rarely highlighted. My own mother commited adultery when I was 12 leaving my twin brother, my father and I with nothing to eat on Christmas Day whilst she dashed down the road with my younger siater aged 7 with the roast turkey to meet the man who would eventually become her second husband. 😪 In later life she was hesitant to join the Church for the very attitude you cite above, in that she knew she would not be welcome as an adulteress into any professing Christian congregation. However, she was invited to become an elder in the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) where she was then living, and when she asked the minister about her background re re-marrying in adulterous circumstances, she was told that they needed "real people" in the church. 🙃🤯🤔 Yes, people do encounter very "real" issues in their lives that can render them inadmissible to the Christian Church, so you seem to suggest that only "real" churches would stand up enough to say "No" to their admittance. Although once a "couple" arrives at church very few would question, as heterosexual couples tend to "blend in" more successfully that the likes of a same-sex couple. The technical bar on adulterers will automatically exclude quite a chunk of heterosexual society, including those who are not atheist, so basically if one does not measure up to a certain level of morality one is not "elegible" to join the ranks of the Church, although a few may slip in. At least that solves the dilemma for some people after which they can just dwell in more detached non-atheistic secular "lifestyles," whether being "confronted by Scripture" or not. I find that even Christians who are "confronted by Scripture" on a great many matters that they may personally not upkeep in their "lifestyles," either through ignorance or by denominational interpretation, will still dismiss that confrontation and continue with the very things that have been pointed out to them, especially in the area of doctrine, observance and Scriptural TRUTH. This includes the area of many of their non-Biblical ecclesiastical man-made traditions. 😑

@@scented-leafpelargonium3366 I have no idea why my comment isn't showing up publicly, as it contains no profanity, links, or any key words that would trigger any sort of woke RU-vid filter. I edited it to add the clarifying prhase, "at least not after being confronted about it with Scripture". Anyone is welcome at our church, but once you become a member, you subject yourself to potential church discipline if you choose to live in unrepentant sin. We have removed several members over the years who committed adultery and refused to repent even after much counseling with the elders. It's the last resort, but one that is required according to Matthew 18:15-20. We are instructed not to avoid contact with them, but to ensure all contact is "redemptive" in nature, urging them to repent and be restored to fellowship. We're not to interact like everything is well with them. So this is not some legalistic principle of requiring perfection. We all acknowledge that we are sinners saved by grace and will continue to battle the flesh until we go to be with Jesus. The issue here is a willful pattern of unrepentant sin. To keep such members in good standing is a danger to the purity of the church and to the soul of the unrepentant sinning member.

do you have any examples that are not hymns?

@@InitialPC hymns ? That’s the word of God my guy. Where Christ said the Psalms speak of Him.

Word.

@@completoencristo doesnt make it not hymns also, if were going to be taking psalms as literal then that means god being the cause of birth defects is on the table with the "I formed you in the womb" line

@@InitialPC so I see you have a problem with the word of God. Because you’re twisting up scripture. “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭13:11‬ ‭ “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11:21‬ ‭

Also the commonly quoted "money is the root of all evil," when the Bible actually says "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil, thereby many have pierced themselves with many sorrows." 🤑

"What is truth?"

oof! good notation.

Please explain

@@saigoevangelises3072 Serving God is a by-product of first knowing and loving Him. The Apostle Paul’s chief desire was to know (ginosko - to know by experience) Him (Phil 3:10). We are not staff merely to serve but are family, adult-sons, redeemed to grow intimately more acquainted with the heart of the Father. The more a believer gets to know God, the more we love Him and want to serve Him. The Apostle Paul also wrote that we are not to “give until it hurts” but rather wrote For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have (2 Cor 8:12). My point here meaning one does not give to the point, usually through emotional appeal or manipulation, where basic bills are not are not paid and we end up actually dishonoring the name of Christ.

The Salvation Army uses "saved to serve" and for them, it's appropriate!

You're a cliche!

Yes! I kept saying, It's pronounced clee-shay, Todd!" I think he was doing it on purpose, lol.

But it's so catchy and playful 💃🏻😂

Good info. thanks!

Like the myth of the name "Jesus" when his given name was actually YESHUA !! 🙃

​@Miller amen !!! I recently had a small argument with another Christian...I was talking to a friend about Jesus, and another man interrupted me, to point out that His name is Yeshua, because there's no "J" in the Hebrew language...I stated that I don't believe it makes a difference if we call Him Jesus or Yeshua, and gave him an example...I asked him what he calls me, when he says hi to me, and to do it, so he said, "Hi, Andy"...I told him, my real name is Andres, which you know, but you still call me "Andy", and I still answer you !! Lol...he doesn't talk to me anymore, but I still say hi to him...God bless you, my friend 😊

humans do not become angels

Same 😂

That's great! That's exactly what it is.

Title: Ten Lol

Good points! Cliches aren’t problem (even some of theese 10 can be any problem). Problem is within US. Within wicked human heart. Problem is people want to use and believe in cliches and schemes - instead of trust God.

Justin Peters has some videos on those topics. :)

@Ken Chilton I was in full agreement with your interpretation of the text, but until recently, I'm split. God is certainly not only with the believers during judgement of a sinning brother. The holy ghost has indwelt believers, so God is present with them when two or more are gathered. Consider also the text doesn't stop at two or three, "And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Matthew 18:17 KJV Is God not present with them, when they tell it to the church? Certainly, He is omni present. I believe it to be a general assertion for gathered believers that also happens to be applied to witnesses, but not limited to witness. You cannot disprove that God is not present when two or more believers are gathered in His name.

@@med4699 "God is not certainly"? WHAT? THE POINT IS THAT THE CONTEXT IS DISCIPLINE AND NOT PRAYER OR GOD BEING WITH US. God is in me so I dont need other saints for him to be with me. That is THE POINT. The passage is about discipline.

Praise God..same here

Thanks for the suggestion! Keep an eye out for more👀

@@WretchedNetwork I will behave

It is older than that. Algernon Sidney used that phrase in _Discourses Concerning Government_ in 1698. Franklin just repeated it in 1736. The idea is much older, going back even to ancient Greece and China where pagan religions taught that gods respond to the morality and efforts of man.

@@kenchilton thankyou for imparting your knowledge.

Hi Hunter, we have our Wretched Radio podcast that is posted daily. You can also check out recent radio shows here: wretched.org/radio/

Abba is a word that combines love, intimacy and at the same time the Authority that a father has over the son. Beautiful word for sure

Abba, a nice word, but you corrupted it by comparing it to daddy. Firstly because I think that we shouldn't belittle God with nicknames like that. He is not our little cutie pie. He is not a daddy but a mighty Father. Second, because the word daddy has been corrupted by perverse people so that I can no longer say it without feeling sick.

It was made famous by Ben Franklin.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do, Ken!

Me, too!!

Did he use some of their video? There is no need for him to give anyone credit if he hasnt used their content. "Clitches" are not their idea. He is doing his own teaching on it and doesnt need to give them any credit. It could have been a coincidence too that they talked about this as well. Dont be a meddling busy body. 1 Timothy 5:13 13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not. 2 Thessalonians 3:11 11 For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.

Hey Jonny, we aren't familiar with that ministry and hadn't seen their video on the topic! We will check them out. - Ethan from Wretched

Yes! Phil 4:13. I always reply" God wont give us more than HE can handle".

Exact quote, “II. The place where he had this vision. It was by Jericho; in Jericho, so the word is; in it by faith and hope, though as yet he had not begun to lay siege to it; in it in thought and expectation; or in the fields of Jericho, hard by the city. There, it should seem, he was all alone, fearless of danger, because sure of the divine protection. There he was (some think) meditating and praying; and to those who are so employed God often graciously manifests himself. Or perhaps there he was to take a view of the city, to observe its fortifications, and contrive how to attack it; and perhaps he was at a loss within himself how to make his approaches, when God came and directed him. Note, God will help those that help themselves. Vigilantibus non dormientibus succurrit lex-The law succours those who watch, not those who sleep. Joshua was in his post as a general, when God came and made himself known as Generalissimo.”

@@AlexanderLongacre182 Is that the "origin" of it?

@@rlhicks1 seems to be. Matthew Henry is the one who seems to have articulated it first that way.

Hi Ethan, that is from the Visual Bible series of movies on the Gospel of Matthew. - Ethan from Wretched.

Could you elaborate

@@wacerahchege8 He is saying that forgiving doesnt wipe out his memory of the offense. And to that I say we musn't harbor it in our hearts so that it turns into unforgiveness again but we just dont put ourselves in the situation again for that person to hurt us. We have learned from our past so to speak.

@@gigiis526 I see. Thank you.

Forgiveness is the restoration of the relationship to where it was before the sin was committed. You cannot be expected to forget, but you can be expected to love. God did not forget our sins when Christ died on the cross, but laid on him the full punishment. He put our sins far from us, as far as east from west is distant. He does not remember our sin every time he sees us, but instead sees his son's righteousness. When we look upon a brother we have forgiven, we should think of Christ and how we are forgiven. In the same way we expect God to forgive our sins, we must forgive those who sin against us, and it is only in God's love that we also can see repentance as the end of that old man and the birth of a brother.
