man is corrupt. religion is corrupt. the corrupt man..created corrupt religions. yes All things are possible through Jesus Christ this is completely fact. basically you are right about alot of things. but the main purpose is that you should follow Jesus Christ and not the churches because they are man made. but why follow man if the Lord God created us. why not follow our creator?
Great Response. Yes, Hypocrisy is the problem; not religion ,Christianity or the Church. Jesus did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. Jesus came to empower us with the Holy Spirit to to overcome hypocrisy.
RELIGION is MANS ATTEMPT to reach GOD! MANS ATTEMPT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH!!! The BIBLE says that JESUS is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. there is NO OTHER WAY into the kingdom. and if you really had a relationship with jesus christ,,, you wouldnt even be so controvesial about this video. praying for and about all you guys that you will accept jesus and that he will open your eyes to the truth! Contact me through my chanel if you need help with this!
“Religion at its vision/heart/motivation, means to care for widows and orphans…The church is a beautiful thing when done right…Even though we may be flawed, it’s the love I should have inside.” Yes, this is religion at its best, as it's meant to be!

Taking one single verse out of the Bible to prove your point to other people is like taking God's creation off of a plant and making a joint with it. Anyone that follows your lead, will get high off your nonsense. Those who fully understand and read the passages before, after, around, over, under, similar to, or anything of the such, will be able to really use the Word for purposes that It has been created for.
@d0natebl00d I wish to say I am offended by this comment and sadly I recognize many verses from the Bible. you have told a christian that you don't know that he is using the bible incorrectly. while we may called different poets more inspired
you actually have the same point of view as the poet. both of you guys are talking about the false religion that is degined by today's generation, government, media and military warfare. he was talking about the religion of today that is misguided to create chaos, division and hate. the definition of religion has changed dramatically from what it was before. the poet wants to promote peace and hoping that others won't support creating more wars because of "religious brainwashing"
this is one of the better response videos. as for the original, i agree with much of it with this in mind: we tend to get hung up on some of the words he used...another response said they think the religion he's talking about is the "hollow" religion--the "religion" we see in so many churches today. thinking of it that way, it's more accurate. but loved your point, when we're kneeling at the cross we're picking it up too. great video--thanks for posting.
I'm sorry, but as a person that has been revealed to Jesus and that it's all about his grace. I'm going to agree on the fact that it is all about Jesus; and Jesus > Religion. If you read the bible in its context, you'll find that it's not about what you do but about what Jesus has done on your behalf. Blessings to you.
@AndreaJRivas Your are very very 1/2 right, the start of all is what Jesus did for us, and in the end what Jesus did for us on the cross will hopefully complete the full circle, but if you read the whole book, at least the gospels, you will see that Jesus gave us direction and commandments, and told us he was us to follow these together.
Very well spoken words...Much more wiser than Jefferson Bethke's words. Some of his words were wrong and downing. ...You made it more clear of WHY we should be careful of religion. And, I also noticed the art photo on your wall. Very nice!!!

All in all, the title alone "Why I hate religion, but love Jesus" is a flawed position withing itself. Religion- The service and worship of God or the supernatural (2): commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance. So you don't need church or fellowship to have religion because if you're a follower of a deity or higher power etc. then you are FOLLOWING a religion within itself. That's like saying you hate the NFL but love Football.
sir.. where did you get your sermons? from your friend priest? can you please read you bible again and please apply it.....be born again. JESUS LOVES YOU.
John 17: 21-23 "That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one, I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
@ma11sanford Jesus founded a Church. It's One, It's Holy, It's Catholic, and It's Apostolic.
Mathew 16:18 "And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it."
1 Timothy 3:15 "So that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth."
Mathew 18:17-18 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

THE BOTTOM LINE: CONTRADICTION AND INCONGRUENCE IS NOT OF GOD. No one can truly love Jesus, yet hate Jesus' religion. Those who love Jesus, love the religion Jesus lovingly founded and fulfilled.
Holy Scripture, Apostolic Tradition, the Church’s Magisterium as well as well-established Historical records, all confirm that Jesus Christ founded a divine institution which He named the “Church.” Regardless of what they may claim, those who hate Christ's Church, undeniably hate Christ, its Founder.
That's the reason why we christians got so many problems... we think too much about our set of beliefs! XD Aight, I respect what this guy say but I think it's easy... I still like my religion and of course Jesus! Unity & Peace ♥
Thank you so much for this response, it was great and full of truth! How can someone say that they love Jesus and hate his body? "By this the world will know that you are my disciples, that ye have love one for another"
Please people, get it right. Religion DOES NOT equal the church! The church is actually the sum of all people, no matter of what delegation, who truly believe in Christ with their hearts. Religion on the other hand is a man-made construct of all sorts of traditions. Like take Christmas. It celebrates the birth of Christ which is in the bible, but why is it celebrated on Dec 25th? Because that date's a Pagan holiday. So religion is shaped by people's habits and such, which aren't always biblical.
CHRISTIANS NEED TO SERIOUSLY GO BACK TO THEIR BIBLE PLUS LEARN THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY!!! THE BIBLE IS NOT PRODUCED BY REVERENDS, NUNS, PASTORS, MINISTERS, THE POPE, ETC IT IS PRODUCED BY CHRISTIAN SCHOLARS THEMSELVES!!! THESE SAME SCHOLARS, 32 CHRISTIAN SCHOLARS, OF THE HIGHEST EMINENCE BACKED BY 50 CO-OPERATING DENOMINATIONS CONFIRM THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TRINITY, KJV HAS GRAVE DEFECTS ACCORDING TO THE RSV, MAN-MADE DOCTRINES (SON OF GOD) - WAKE UP!!!
I'm a muslim and I act on my love for Jesus by giving to poor, remembering God often and trying my best to be nice to those I know and do not know. All the prophets preached the same thing, yet we keep dividing ourselves. Simply sitting there, watching 90210 and then saying you love Jesus through words is not enough, we need to search and act on truth in all honesty. Best wishes to any one who reads this, peace be upon Jesus and peace be upon you!! <3
@nullsphere1 I totally agree with you. Church is very important. I go to church. It helps keep me focused on God and grow in my faith. I don't think bball89 was trying to diss the church but rather open up the eyes of those who claim to be followers of Christ yet forget the Gospel and what Jesus teaches us.
jesus CREATED a religion ITS NOT MANMADE what he means on religion being created by hummans it's the fact that FALSE religions where created by humans WHICH he mentions on the description Which says "A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day." So he means fake or false religions !!

Dude, you can have good faith without religion. Credenc is THE THING! Credence gives the ppl will to live, to help, to give and to be good! NOT the religion.
What is good on building a big fat church, build out of gold and money from slaught "infidels" how the church ppl call them? What is good on bruning ppl just because they have red heir or because they are "too" intelligent? What is good on raping church members? Do you like Hitler? NO! Then why like the church? They killed jews in mass too
I really do think that you are right but what Jeff was talking about was FALSE religion!(: But I really did like to hear your opinion your amazing and blessed
You make very good, valid points but I believe the original viral video is talking to or directed to the ones who call themselves Christians or by the true definition a follower of Christ. He reminds us Christian doesn't mean just blindly following a set of rules and to be accepted by Christ. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins we were already accepted. What is important is a relationship with Jesus and following his word. If we did that, we would also do the those good things he teaches
@MarkSan26 Can't ignore the importance of the church, it is critical to following Jesus. Jesus was a religious person and all of his disciples were as well.
I agree with you, but the religion he's speaking about the fact religion has been a form of just using God to control other people politically and such.
About people who hate religion their intention may be good but is wrong.Those views shows the water down of christianity and lack of importance for church authority.It also goes against early christain teachings and bible who are in support of bishops and church authority.In a sense they become their own church authority who decide what part of christianity to accept and not accept. Eg..Whether sabbath should be celebrated on saturday or sunday, Christmas good or not, easter bad or good, etc..
no one hated on Jesus or the Church. We love Jesus as for he is our PROPHET... & how can Jesus be ur lord if he is the son of GOD? shouldn't be God who yall r worshiping not JESUS? well i dnt really know your religion and im not going to sit here and 'hate' on your religion i love every religion equally so therefore i am not going to say any negatives... Good seeing ppl stand up for their religion tho. good job.
@FayHaibe Have you ever heard of Trinity 3 in 1. God the father. God the Son. God the holy spirit/ghost. They're all connected. I can sit and tell you all and what nots but it will be long. But yeah. God/Jesus left us with a gift "Holy Spitiy" he left peice of himself in us. And to reach God you have to go through Jesus. Since God sent him down 2 die on the cross for everyone's sins. Thats where you will get your salavation & also believing Jesus rose from the day 3 days later. Questions?
Im not a christian but I do believe there was a jesus, i do believe he is coming but in the form off a different prophet, and different name, and i am a firm believer that religion CAN UNITE, and like you've said, when done well, its gonna be amazing...until then hypocracy is a weakness we humans needs to work on, turning away from religion doesnt bring us closer because it is then that we become ignorant and unwilling to search for truth? "why i hate religion...etc" BE PATIENT WITH RELIGION '<3
The Moneylender Media tells us we are all Judeochristians. This makes no more sense than that we are all Islamochristians. Racist supremist Judaism promises power only to the blood of the Chosen People whereas Jesus Christ offers redemption to everyone through His own blood. All candidates except Ron Paul are bought and paid for by Big Israel ("The 1%") and are pro-Israel, not pro-America. Every American should support the one man who will work for Americans, not against them.
The belief in jesus keeps potentially dangerous people in check because they think some magical space jesus is watching their every move. I feel safer walking down the street if I see a church with a cross. Of course jewish people are nice as well and muslims are even nicer and very respectful to others.
Ok, SO he hates THE POPE and is adicted TO PORN, and may or may not love THE CHURCH... Did I miss anything? CHECK OUT MY RESPONSE TO THE MAIN VIDEO ON MY CHANNEL!!
Two things I encourage the body of Christ to consider. First we must push secularism out of places of worship. Second, beware to not modernize the church, remaining Bible-centered. Also rebuke and reprove one another in the word as siblings correct and guide one another. I am a street preacher. Please pray for me as I push the plow. Glory and exaltation of our Heavenly Father. Love Him for who He is not just what He does.
the original poem brought this foward, which is good. i want us to talk about Christ Jesus especially the youth. Jesus did warn in His largest gathering about be not a hypocrite like the Sagacees and Pharisees. those that do the will of God. do not dfear the one who can kill you, fear the one who can cast you into Hell. Well done in the message God put in your heart that you spoke. it was good you were Biblical, thoughtful, and obedient. Stay strong in your faith and keep growing in the Lord.
Always somebody trying to feed off of someone's video!!!! Dude the original guy burns your words up....You cant touch him....Move on and come up with your own skit quit trying to feed of the other dudes work...bball1989 everyone check out his video it makes way more sence...
That's a fairly good response too. Though, human nature is not bad, but flawed, and not wrong, but distorted. Our real human nature is to be Christ-like, but since our nature has been corrupted by sin, we are constantly falling and getting back up again by the grace of God.
Christianity is the only religion on the face of the earth where God pursues man and provides redemption and forgiveness of sin through His only Son Jesus Christ by the Cross. ALL other religions on the face of the earth teach man must strive to be good enough for their god(s) through man's own works.
Christianity is Salvation by Grace through repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. All gifts of God.
@TheJudah773 its true...but one shouldnt call it a religion. Theres a reason why this christianity sticks out, why this one shouldnt be classified with the category of religons (something made by man), and it is because it is the REAL thing, a relationship with our God.
p.s. i just realized this like 5 min ago. I thought it the right "religion" too
@SierraKen - the other one wasn't dissing the "church". He plainly said he loves church. Both videos have the same exact point, the only difference is their working definitions of the word "religion" (it's a matter of semantics).
The reason I hate religion is because I got raped by a man who looked the EXACT same as Jesus... :( .. and then after that I got robbed by someone who looked like moses
@CharlieTheBabysitter What does Jesus look like ? There is no known images that I know of only man's inspriration of Him. He was like a withered weed, not to be desired. I'm sorry you were raped. I hope you have found healing . And Moses is the same deal. What does he look like ? I'm sorry you were robbed as well. But your statement show's something hidden in it. Unless you know what they really looked like not a picture painted by an artist.
@pappyforyou it was what the church makes jesus out to look like..when it happened there was a group of people laughing at it or just watching smiling, how the fuck can I believe in ANY religion after this has happened to me and people just SMILED AND LAUGHED? we live in a fuckin sick world.. if I seen this happen to anyone else I would have stopped it !.. this is the 1st time I have ever talked about it to anyone, I just had to share my views on it !!!
@CharlieTheBabysitter I'm not making light of it. I have 3 daughter's and trust me there are men who would have put a stop to it. Even at the cost of someones life. No one should be a victim. And this world goes beyond sick. Don't trust any religion, don't trust men. read the Bible for yourself ask God into your life. Trust Him, those who do these type of thing's will have their before Him. And we'll see who is laughing then. Thank you for sharing and pray for understanding. God bless
@CharlieTheBabysitter everything happens for a reason. My "dad" left my mom and i but nothing ever held us back but now i have a wonderful father in my life that i wouldn't trade for the world. Many other personal things have happened but opening up to Christ and throwing it all down at his feet has made a a stronger person. Religion didn't do that to you, Jesus didn't do that to you, but He and many others in the church are there for you if you let them in.
@abrase004 No it was not Jesus who did that to me but where was he when I was on the ground and there was blood coming from my bottom and as I prayed for anyone to help I was met with nothing but silence? there was 20 people there and they just looked on and when I get up, my bottom feeling like it was on fire I got mugged.... how can I trust anyone now?
Sean this is amazing!! I agree with you 100%!! This is a great response! You have given the true picture of religion and the church. Religion has never been the problem, man has. Keep doing what you're doing!
First, If you're going to do spoken word, memorize it for gosh sake. Second, I feel like you are just arguing for argument's sake but, I'm sure you'll hear that you are saying the same thing he is saying, so I won't tell you again. I will say this, though: As someone who tried for years and years to fit into the "Church," but was always left on the outside, Bethke's right. The Church does not act like Christ.
awesome video my brother! i'll be doing a video that deals with this topic and i have to say i agree with what you're saying 100%! hope that you sub me to bro & god bless u!
In taking in what Bethke was saying, I did not get the sense that he was putting down the church or the Body of Christ. He said that near the end that he loves the church. I believe that the depth of his message was tempered with humility and God's grace and not a condemnation.
Great Video and you are dead on - in a world where people are looking for a reason to be Lawless - jefferson has given them some- for i agree its the hypocrites he spoke against not religion- its sad but people dont know that JESUS said I am the HEAD+ the church is my BODY- meaning you cant separate the 2-HE also said in Matt 5:17 "for i came NOT to destroy but to fulfill" and he also said dont forsake the fellowship of the saints- the devil is using Jefferson to spread the spirit of lawlessness
I respect your heart, but I think you guys are arguing the same thing. The church is the bride of Christ, which both of y'all concede. It 'a the hypocrites false "form of godliness" that makes you seeth. I define religion as form without power.
Right. It's all semantics though; I feel like you both having a similar message. I agree with you about James, especially about 1:27. But this video won't get thousands and thousands of views, because it's more of a debate about words than anything else (although your poem is very good). Bethke's video is a bit melodramatic in how he crucifies the word "religion," but a lot of what he says is at least inspired by the general attitude that Jesus held toward hypocrisy.
@bbqamazing I totally agree haha. I just see the video blowing up around and people bashing "the church" instead of being the change they try to agree with. Just a response to Bethke's video, hoping that people love the bride of Christ like He does Himself :)
@smasopust YES thank you. The other video seemed to show a great side of Christianity. How God wants to have that intimate relationship with us, and how bad legalism is. But I'm also a pastor's kid, and while people got great things out of the video, I was tired of seeing all of the "pastors were the only ones to dislike this video" comments as if all pastors are in cahoots to make your life miserable. Jesus taught his disciples theology, he didn't just play games with them to develop friendship
@bbqamazing It's not semantics. It is ultimately about keeping purity...specifically the purity that is the King James Bible (Ps 12:6...Prov 30:5) because the Word instructs us in purity. The pure Word instructs us in pure religion whereby we become pure. (luke 4:4...Eph 5:26...1Tim 4:5...Heb 4:12...and more...)
@bbqamazing Yes, it is an argument on semantics, but nevertheless, I wouldn't demean it. Bethke places on his description that the poem is about "false religion." Okay, but that isn't said anywhere in his poem, and that is very deceiving. At its core, Christianity as a religion is about fully comprehending what it means to follow Christ. Otherwise, we get people like Family Radio who claim that the world was going to end, and even worse, heresies. Religion needs to be seen in a new light.
@bbqamazing It's not semantics, those are two very important opposing ideas. Jefferson Bethke himself even came out and said he was wrong on the Gospel Coalition blog by Kevin De Young following-up-on-the-jesusreligion-video/
YOU GOT IT RIGHT!!! Thank you for taking the time to respond to the other guy's video. A couple Christians I know posted it on facebook and I couldn't figure out what the heck they're thinking if they agree with him! Thanks again! I hope this gets viewed by thousands.

Jesus' message of unity.
John 17: 21-23 "That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one, I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.

@ma11sanford Jesus founded a Church. It's One, It's Holy, It's Catholic, and It's Apostolic.
Mathew 16:18 "And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it."
1 Timothy 3:15 "So that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth."

THE BOTTOM LINE: CONTRADICTION AND INCONGRUENCE IS NOT OF GOD. No one can truly love Jesus, yet hate Jesus' religion. Those who love Jesus, love the religion Jesus lovingly founded and fulfilled.
Holy Scripture, Apostolic Tradition, the Church’s Magisterium as well as well-established Historical records, all confirm that Jesus Christ founded a divine institution which He named the “Church.” Regardless of what they may claim, those who hate Christ's Church, undeniably hate Christ, its Founder.

Please people, get it right. Religion DOES NOT equal the church! The church is actually the sum of all people, no matter of what delegation, who truly believe in Christ with their hearts. Religion on the other hand is a man-made construct of all sorts of traditions. Like take Christmas. It celebrates the birth of Christ which is in the bible, but why is it celebrated on Dec 25th? Because that date's a Pagan holiday. So religion is shaped by people's habits and such, which aren't always biblical.

All the prophets preached the same thing, yet we keep dividing ourselves.

You make very good, valid points but I believe the original viral video is talking to or directed to the ones who call themselves Christians or by the true definition a follower of Christ. He reminds us Christian doesn't mean just blindly following a set of rules and to be accepted by Christ. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins we were already accepted. What is important is a relationship with Jesus and following his word. If we did that, we would also do the those good things he teaches

About people who hate religion their intention may be good but is wrong.Those views shows the water down of christianity and lack of importance for church authority.It also goes against early christain teachings and bible who are in support of bishops and church authority.In a sense they become their own church authority who decide what part of christianity to accept and not accept. Eg..Whether sabbath should be celebrated on saturday or sunday, Christmas good or not, easter bad or good, etc..

The Moneylender Media tells us we are all Judeochristians. This makes no more sense than that we are all Islamochristians. Racist supremist Judaism promises power only to the blood of the Chosen People whereas Jesus Christ offers redemption to everyone through His own blood. All candidates except Ron Paul are bought and paid for by Big Israel ("The 1%") and are pro-Israel, not pro-America. Every American should support the one man who will work for Americans, not against them.

Two things I encourage the body of Christ to consider. First we must push secularism out of places of worship. Second, beware to not modernize the church, remaining Bible-centered. Also rebuke and reprove one another in the word as siblings correct and guide one another. I am a street preacher. Please pray for me as I push the plow. Glory and exaltation of our Heavenly Father. Love Him for who He is not just what He does.

Christianity is the only religion on the face of the earth where God pursues man and provides redemption and forgiveness of sin through His only Son Jesus Christ by the Cross. ALL other religions on the face of the earth teach man must strive to be good enough for their god(s) through man's own works.
Christianity is Salvation by Grace through repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. All gifts of God.

Right. It's all semantics though; I feel like you both having a similar message. I agree with you about James, especially about 1:27. But this video won't get thousands and thousands of views, because it's more of a debate about words than anything else (although your poem is very good). Bethke's video is a bit melodramatic in how he crucifies the word "religion," but a lot of what he says is at least inspired by the general attitude that Jesus held toward hypocrisy.

@smasopust YES thank you. The other video seemed to show a great side of Christianity. How God wants to have that intimate relationship with us, and how bad legalism is. But I'm also a pastor's kid, and while people got great things out of the video, I was tired of seeing all of the "pastors were the only ones to dislike this video" comments as if all pastors are in cahoots to make your life miserable.

@bbqamazing It's not semantics. It is ultimately about keeping purity...specifically the purity that is the King James Bible (Ps 12:6...Prov 30:5) because the Word instructs us in purity. The pure Word instructs us in pure religion whereby we become pure. (luke 4:4...Eph 5:26...1Tim 4:5...Heb 4:12...and more...)
KJVWordofGod 1 month ago
@bbqamazing Yes, it is an argument on semantics, but nevertheless, I wouldn't demean it. Bethke places on his description that the poem is about "false religion." Okay, but that isn't said anywhere in his poem, and that is very deceiving. At its core, Christianity as a religion is about fully comprehending what it means to follow Christ. Otherwise, we get people like Family Radio who claim that the world was going to end, and even worse, heresies. Religion needs to be seen in a new light.
