Picture it: A Christian is doing a report for her seminary class about historic Christianity. She's interviewing other people who've signed up as "A Christian" for the project. But upon further examination, she discovers somethin' needs a sugar packet check. (... Do you get it?... BUT DO YOU GET IT?! Ba dum tss! :-D)
Special shoutout to my friend Keith Walker from ‪@EvidenceMinistries‬ for help with the script, especially for the Jehovah's Witness and Mormon. I shall thank you with coffee and sugar packets.
Random Fun Facts:
#1- If you don't get the sugar packets reference, watch here: • Progressive "Christian...
#2- If you do get it, here's a high five and a potato. 👋🏽🥔
#3/2- Almost everything the Progressive said was directly quoted from Richard Rohr's website and a progressive church's website. (Yes, even the comment about "Christ" being Jesus' last name. I shake my head every time I see it. Here. Shake yours too: cac.org/another-name-for-ever...
#7+9- Yes, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses actually believe that. You can look up everything I said in their own publications and websites.
#9.05- I was in the beginning stages of being sick when I filmed this. (Shout-out to Dayquil and coffee!)
#45.7- People saying they're Christians when they don't believe in Christian doctrine grinds my gears.
#99.9- Just because someone says they're a Christian doesn't mean they are.
#.03- My favorite character was the Mormon. (They're always my favorite. I wuv them.)
#78- Can you guess the last one?
#2- Who was your favorite?!

My biggest pet peeve when I hear that… when every scholar understands and knows that the Bibles of today match the ancient manuscripts of the first century. Not to mention that the Old Testament that we use and the Torah that Israel uses matches nearly word for word with extremely slight variants that are so minute that they are only noticed by a high level expert.

It's a two edge sword in my opinion. It's good that we don't blindly follow everything we are told at face value. A good Christian should be always learning and often we'll have to rethink all our believes because they don't make sense to us anymore, and to get to a deeper understanding there will me moments of doubt, moments we lose faith... And there is still room for disagreement even in the Church. Both Orthodox and Roman catholics don't agree in everything, yet we wouldn't consider one group the real chrisitian while the other being fake when most of our doctrine, belives and trsdiction, art, iconography is the same. Well, there is people who say those things, but that's their problem.

@@UrsahSolar Well if you think about it. The smurfs all have white hats and the papa smurf has a red had. That is a direct link to the KKK. They are all white pointy hats and the leader of the KKK has a red hat. Also, the names of the evil characters in the smurfs all have Jewish Hebrew names which is supposed to be anti-sematic. I wasn't JW but I used to be a heavy conspiracy theorist and this is what I was told. Although I am a full believer in Jesus ONLY now, I still can't help but think it's true about the smurfs. Hollywood has been known to be anti-sematic, which is silly, because most of them come from Jewish families.

@@CuteSceneChic Yeah, I've heard that now that you mention it. I've always enjoyed conspiracy theories. If the smurfs are neo-nazis, that would make them neo-pagans too. Alternatively, the WatchTower org picked some innocuous worldly thing out of a hat and decided to fearmonger about it. That way the JW's are kept constantly insecure and are therefore dependant on the organization's ok on every little thing.

So Christian in fact that she uses tarot cards, dowsing rods, practices pyromancy, communes with spirits, thinks is funny or cute that her friend is getting visits from a demon calling itself Azazel, laughing off my concern at said visits saying she taught her friend all the most powerful runes and wards to protect her from evil spirits, denies everything about the Bible and Jesus, and refuses to answer the question "What defines a Christian in your mind?" I owe her a debt of gratitude. She taught me to be way more discerning when someone says they're Christian.

@@Beeontree You've probably googled it in the last couple of days, but the word "Christ" is an Anglicisation of the Greek "Χριστος" (Christos), which means "Anointed One". The Greek word itself is a translation of the Hebrew word Messiah, which also means "Anointed One", and refers (if I recall correctly) to the role of the Messiah as a prophesised king of the Jews because a king would be anointed with oil as part of the coronation ceremony (I think).

@@valarmorghulis4801 It's a good thing it's ok for us to disagree between ourselves because the followers of Jesus have been disagreeing on doctrinal details since day one. Back before the now Catholic church was organized there were groups of Jesus followers who believed all kinds of different things. Jesus died....Jesus didn't actually die....Jesus was celibate and sex is a sin....Jesus was married and sex is a celebration if life..... Jesus was condemned to death but a look-alike was crucified instead of him....Jesus was a spirit who never had a physical body to start with... and on and on. The idea of the virgin birth was tacked on to the story decades after the crucifixion. Jesus was trying to upgrade Jewish teachings to prepare the Jews for the end of the world, but Saul if Tarsus ( who never actually met Jesus) took over the Jesus movement and added in teachings Jesus and His Apostles did not teach, and expanded the teachings from Jews only to the Gentiles so that the Roman Empire could use the religion to control the masses. Basically Christianity has always always been a very mixed bag.

I was that one until middle of High School. I've thought of it as the "faith of the parents" view, where you take some buzzwords from them and mix it with all the stuff being taught to us by the world. I'm guessing a lot of people who grew up going to church can relate with that. It wasn't until going through catechism in an ELCA church and our pastor teaching us about Luther that drove me to dive into scripture for myself. After reading start to finish, the church I attended got a new pastor who just told personal stories. I got my driver's license and started attending a church about 45 minutes away on my own (sometimes I could get friends or my brother to come with), because they were teaching from the text. It is crazy how God uses all things to direct his people.

It really made me see what a complex, and holy, and majestic God He is, and what an honor it is to be called His child. I also made a list each day of everything I had to be thankful for, knowing that it all comes from Him. It was a very humbling and spiritually rewarding study that I would highly recommend! I'll pray that God blesses your time reading your Bible, and directs your path forward as you try to honor Him. ❤️

Almost spit out my coffee when she said "SMURFS." Ha! Here's one for you, an exchange I had on FB with a neighbor: I teach a faith-based dance fitness class at a local church. We don't charge, we take donations and view it as a ministry to the ladies in our local area. A neighbor of mine teaches yoga and offered to come to our class and lead a yoga practice. I kindly told her that adding another fitness format would be against our culture (culture of the company whose format we teach) and wouldn't fit with our group because we are Christians. She told me, "Oh, I don't know if you know, but I'm Presbyterian, but I haven't been in the church for a while. But in my classes, I try to be more agnostic because I have many Hindu and Buddhist friends who attend. So I try to be more agnostic." I couldn't believe it-- no true Christian walking with the Lord would say "I try to be more agnostic."

So many don’t understand that Practicing Yoga is practicing Hinduism! So sad! We need more education in the churches about this! Thanks for sharing!

Nor would a christian practice yoga in the first place, since yoga is a religious practice of another religion. It's incompatible with a faith in the one true God.

If only Mormon missionaries were that upfront about what they actually believed! When my friends and I befriended some in college, we had to practically squeeze all that out of them! They were so evasive! I mean it might have been because they didn't really know...one was like 15 and had to ask his partner about everything we asked, and the other guy admitted that he didn't actually believe any of it until he had already left on his mission! When we asked if he thought our baptisms were invalid, he eventually said yes. Let that sink in...the baptisms of believers in Jesus were not valid, but his baptism - when he didn't even have faith - was more valid because it was done by the LDS church!
