The video was made by and for a church youth group. It's intention isn't to criticize or make fun of Christianity, but to show the silliness of faulty beliefs about Jesus.

This is very funny !! ROFL !
ReplyDeleteI came across this a year or two ago and still think it's funny.
It shows well the mentality that many christians have of God - of some bookkeeper checking on all the things we do, rather than the Loving Father that is revealed through Jesus,and accepts us.
Thanks Steve
ReplyDeleteHere a quick overview of my changed mind from years ago!
These are wonderful blogs on our own mystical and delusional view of sin. The only sin that does indeed keep us from knowing the reality of Father, Son and Holy Spirit for all humanity and His dance in and with us, is unbelief. Jesus died for unbelief, but we cannot know until we change our mind and live from the faith planted in us. The Holy Spirit is in the process of convincing the world, NOT CHRISTIANS of sin (that we in fact have been forgiven), made righteous (are right with the Father in Jesus) and that Satan has been judged and condemned. God does not condemn us, we condemn ourselves with wrong beliefs. The Christian who knows the reality about sin, righteousness and judgment as it relates to all humanity is free indeed. (John 16:8-11).
This is universal from God to man, however sadly some will not believe!

I laughed till I cried. Thanks Steve!
ReplyDeleteThis is o hilarious, the kids voice cracks me to bits! I think I should watch this every day until I stop beating myself up mentally over past sin.(all sin) But my goodness, I want to wake my wife up and show her this video cause its so funny.... but then she would slap me around for waking her up.....and that just isnt worth it. Thanks
ReplyDeleteIn a pull toward being honest I would say it's not unbelief so much but 'false concepts of God' and 'false concepts of ourselves in Christ' which we definitely need scripture, grace, and the Spirit for, to be operating in us to change. Identifiying with Christ and His love we do change. What is change all about and does what we believe need to change with God's help and timing not our agenda? Rhetorical question. I'm using as a rule the Bible and Christan Faith. This in not just semantics for me because I was beat over the head all my life by 'judaizers' (Like those of Galatia preaching we ought to come back to law not grace) who are some present-day 'word of faith' prosperity preachers saying 'I just had to believe more' and that all lack of money, wealth, or health is just caused by my unbelief. I'm sorry, wealth, health, and money is not my goals, to know God & Christ better is. It's usually toned like we're on the outside of a cup people struggling 'ants' never capable of getting into the cup of belief but only an elite with 'hyper faith.' As Steve has so rightly voiced & said here conviction of sin(s) is for the heathen and conviction of righteousness is for the believer and let's keep healing of mind and body and spirit within the work of the cross and the reach of faith & belief but exclude that which is fringe benefit alone. But let us make believing something energized by the Spirit of God not our covetousness. Notice my tone is conciliatatory because I know I have been guilty of this talk & well meaning brothers are in error and we have probably all done this talk, but love covers and let us put on love and ask God for change. 'Lord help my unbelief' was for healing the physical body. "All things are possible for him/her who believes" is a Christ saying 'in God's time,' by believing God and the Spirit, & the Word. I'm saying we should let Jesus save and not mix, unbelief with a lack of anything that we cannot take to heaven with us. I believe in good health but not being very greedy about getting it. Happiness is a choice. Matthew 6:33.
