@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessrcan you explain the “new more honest way”?

Yes! Backsliding. That's it. 👏 👏 👏 👏

@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr what people who are truly deconstructing are doing is not finding answers. They are leaving Christianity and Christ, sometimes for years, sometimes forever. And they take others with them…especially many of those who are also in a season of doubt who the deconstructing person might have spiritual influence over. Yes, it’s backsliding.

@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr but I get what you mean about “seeing things in a new, more honest way”…. perhaps someone let’s go of harmful “religious” beliefs that aren’t actually rooted in the truth of scripture. That’s would be called maturing in Christ, not deconstructing. The deconstructing trend here as the video discusses it is people who at one time followed Christ choosing to create their own path to God, their own “truth.” As long as seeing things in a new more honest way lines up with the truth of God’s word… that’s not deconstructing, that’s growing in Truth.

@@davidmcgrath6507 Agreed. Christianity is nonsense.

Deconstruction = Become your own god so you can continue to sin. To be saved according to the scriptures; you have to repent, believe and endure to the end. Yes, you are saved by grace and not works, but to actually BE saved from the get-go you first have to repent of your sins, believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and you need to endure to the end regardless of what life throws at you. If you are "out" and "no longer believe" then you were never saved to begin with, because your "repentance" was probably part of a church ritual, so you never really genuinely repented. You just repeated a script read out by the pastor. Secondly, you no longer believe or never really believed to begin with, so you are not or were not saved to start with. Thirdly, you are "out" by choice, so you never endured to the end. If any of the above conditions are missing then you were never saved to begin with. You just participed in a ritual. You never had a relationship with God to begin with. You never had a relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. To those people, Jesus said In Matthew 7:21-23: 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’. When Jesus said "I never knew you" He is clear that there was never a relationship to begin with. For those of you who know what a "red pill moment" is, this statement from Jesus is probably THE biggest red pill moment in the bible for people who think they are saved, but are not. What a frightening prospect!!

No true Scotsman.... There are thousands of people living today who will tell you that they used to sincerely believe but now longer do. Why do you dismiss them all as deceived but believe a handful of pre-scientific, superstitious, uninformed middle-eastern religious zealots from 2,000 years ago?

Amen. That such a simple thing has become perverted and confused is a testament to the wickedness of modern times. Everything is being deconstructed, and all we're left with is rubble.

Why? Since "being" Christian takes seemingly illimitable forms, what makes it hard?

How do you know he lived a perfect life?

I know you have to believe this to prove to yourself that you are right, but many former believers (myself included) did believe, did repent, did get baptized, did proclaim Jesus as their saviour. Just saying we didn’t actually believe, is laughable. You don’t know all our stories. So, maybe quit it with the gate keeping. It’s getting old.

@@stevenbatke2475 And your point is? You completed a ritual. That never meant it was genuine repentance. You were just looking for a "get out of jail free card" like millions of other fake Christians. You were never saved to begin with. By "no longer" believing you have committed the ONLY unforgivable sin. You have just validated my comment and the scriptures.

@@JohnSmith-zo6ir okay, if you say so. Curious, do you know for a fact that you will die a believing Christian?

@@stevenbatke2475 Yes. I love Jesus Christ. Without him I am nothing. I'm not like a leaf blowing in the wind looking for happiness and trying to avoid accountability. I have purpose and meaning and it doesn't change based on cultural or political whims.

You're misunderstanding the spirit of that statement, and instead you're talking about the letter of it. What he's saying is that Christianity is centered around, and is entirely about, Christ Jesus. That's exactly what the Word of God tells us.

I'm sorry if that was your experience. It certainly doesn't describe mine. Church may seem one-sided, but you're wading neck-deep in the other side all week, right? It's a blessing to get reoriented each week with Truth. Peace.

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Mathew 7:13-14

@@muxion no no no, it wasn't a threat made by the church. It was the threat made by Jesus. Do you go to a church that doesn't have hell as a doctrine? Sounds like a rare church, but cool if you found it.

@ashleighmiller4101 - If as you say: " It specifically has to do with the fundamentalist church." Then you are targeting religion not salvation and eternal life. Every true blood-bought, born-again, child of Jehovah God has an ever deepening relationship with God through Christ coupled with the confirming knowledge gained from scripture. John 17:3. This is what marks their eternal life in God through Christ. Church has nothing to do with that. Church, unfortunately, has become our end all be all of christian existence both by man's design and cultural tradition. Christ Himself formed His church from disciples not converts. Acts 11:26b says: And the disciples were first called christians at Antioch. Notice them being disciples first, then they did not call themselves; " little Christ's " ( Christians ), the name was called of them because they displayed Christ so well! All disciples of Christ Jesus are true blood-bought, born-again, children of Jehovah God, but, not every true blood-bought, born-again, child of Jehovah God is a disciple of Christ Jesus. For those have to be made and it is the direct command of Christ for us to make them. ( Matthew 28:18-20 ) So the question begs: what then is a disciple? Every true disciple of Christ Jesus is a World-Visionary, World-Impacting, Reproducing, Learner-Follower of Christ Jesus alone, denying self and taking up their cross daily to follow after Christ Jesus alone, while being a witness of Christ Jesus in their Jerusalem- their Neighbor, and in all of their Judea- their Near, and in their Samaria-their Neglected, and to the uttermost- their Next. (Matthew 28:18-20, Luke 9:23, Acts 1:8. ) Then the command to " make disciples of all nations " was given to answer the prayer to the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers for the fields ripe unto harvest. Matthew 9:37-38. Putting feet into ministry not just butts in pews! Also fulfilling Ephesians 4:11-13 - equipping the saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. This was the normal operation of the church ( Greek word ekklesia- meaning " Called Out Ones " ) recorded in the book of Acts. They were simply being discipled, to become disciples who make still more disciples in Christ Jesus. Consequently History and the book of Acts records those disciples, ( christians ), taking the gospel good news to the whole known world of their day inside of 70 years from the Day of Pentecost. So after 2,000 years of religion, tradition, institution, organization, budgets, debt and technologies what then have we accomplished in all of our advantages? Fully 5,000,000,000 people on this planet whom have never, ever even heard one redemptive word of Christ Jesus. ( The Gospel ). Simply because we have not been obedient to " make disciples of all nations " - ( matheteusate ta ethne in the original Greek text ) ( multiply into all ethnicities or multiply and fill the earth. ) Jesus Himself gave us this truth: " If you love Me, you will obey My commandments. " John 14:15..... Well.....Do We?

@@josephpchajek2685 I know you can choose to focus on the heaven part and not the eternal torture threat. But that doesn't make the eternal torture threat go away. It's there, and it's there to catch you if you ever get close to leaving. It's a control tactic, there when needed. If it's in the background for you now, it's because it's not needed at this time for you.

@@josephpchajek2685 "you're walking in accordance with you see and experience and that is the judge of your reality." Yes yes yes that is so right. Walk by faith not by sight, right? Ultimately, Christianity is living in delusion. It's living in false hope. It's living in gaslighting. I thought it was about the truth, but it's not. Deny what you see. "Take every thought captive" was a favorite verse of my personal gaslighty narcissistic hardcore Christians. It's not about truth, it's about hope, and if hope is false, that's ok. Say you're an abuse victim. Submit and have hope!!! And forgive your abuser. Just have hope. Live in false hope and suffer for God.

@@josephpchajek2685 He's telling us because he loves us. He also created hell and created the system. If you created a torture chamber in the basement and told people, obey me like a slave or you're going in the basement for the rest of your life. It's not a threat, it's a warning! And it's YOUR FAULT if you get sent there. Um no, you're the psycho. It's you. No no, it's just super important that you abandon yourself like an abuse victim and live for ME and tell me how great I am day and night. It's for your own good, I mean my ego. If you ever stop, into the basement you go. But I love you. Well I'm using you as my narcissistic supply. But I can manipulate you better if I say I love you. But I won't show it. But walk by faith that I do, not by sight! And if you ever question it, just remember that I brutally murdered my son, so see, I love you!

You've proven the point. You have made up your own god, who does not warn people to save them from eternal punishment. We worship another God, whose Word is infallible and eternal.

@@SeeSawMassacre You're presupposing that eternal punishment is definitely going to happen. What if there's nothing we need saving from? The infallible part is a problem, and even the eternal since we don't stone adulterers anymore and would, dare I say, think that was immoral today. Even the Jews don't follow their own Hebrew scriptures because they're horrific, and they don't even have a new testament, so figure that one out.

a human exalting his will against God is narcissism, God revealing His nature is revelation

@@muxion Having a will is not narcissism. Not being a total abuse victim does not make you a narcissist. Narcissists are a fascinating and horrible group of people that I've recently learned a lot about. Feel free to youtube it. Having self worth and self respect is not being narcissist. Not wanting to die to yourself and serve another person's will as a slave and as if it is your own is not the line for narcissism. God revealing himself as someone that needs you to worship him and die to yourself and serve him and praise him no matter what he does and tell him how good he is even if he murders, commits genocide, etc. Someone that claims to love you, but discards you totally the moment you stop telling him how great he is - That is a narcissist.

@@JohnSmith-zo6ir It has nothing to do with wanting to sin. If you want to sin, join a high control Christian group. They'll sweep it right under the rug for you and go harsher on your victims than you. It's all about enabling abuse, I mean forgiveness!

@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr It has everything to do with sin. The bible in Revelation says "do not add to or take away from the Word". Deconstructionists do both. They add in what suits them and take away what they don't like to effectively become their own gods living by their sinful and morally bankrupt standards. The scriptures are a FINISHED work. The last thing Jesus said on the cross was "It is FINISHED".

@@JohnSmith-zo6ir "probably part of a church ritual" FALSE. I was truly a born again Christian. Now I just see it differently, more as an abusive dynamic and I can't support that. It's so common to say "you were never a Christian to begin with". If you want to live in lies, that's your problem. There are other lies you need to embrace to be a Christian as well. Gaslighting of yourself is required. It is quite frightening for you, because I was EXACTLY LIKE YOU. So are you really saved? That's why you really need to believe the lie that I wasn't you.

Hmm I don’t think that’s true. I question & learn all the time. I’ve never felt like I had to “suppress” any questions I had about my faith. I’ve always felt encouraged to ask questions.

Can you elaborate? How is this abusive or entrapment?

not sure what you believed in, but true Christian faith is based on the historical reality of God working with the disobedient human race and reconciling us to Him through Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection, that is what our faith is in, a divine savior who loved us enough to die for us, and you can read the history and decide for yourself

@@muxion Yup, I had it right. Read the bible, was as honest as possible in my understanding. Then the honesty passed the limit of this being possibly from God. Too much truth lol.

@@brandonelizondo7018 The very idea of an all good all powerful God in our present universe is abusive. Imagine someone who was sexually abused repeatedly as a child. God had the POWER to stop it, but chose not to. Then Christians feel a tiny bit of comfort in their adulthood and say "praise God!" forgetting that God sat back and watched you get abused repeatedly. The guy that does that is abusive. Praise him for how great he is! The entrapment is mental - you stay or you have eternal torture in your future. The entrapment is social - if everyone in your life is part of this system.

So you blindly jumped into agnosticism instead?
