Re: Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. James 1:26

If anyone would like to debate/talk with me about this (intelligently), I'd be more than happy to! Leave a comment :)

To my subscribers: Decided to do something different. I felt it had to be done. Maybe if I get enough support, I might make a channel just for evangelism. And yeah, I got the chalkboard wall, get ready to see it a lot more :)

@PartyBoy64 What made you think that Satan is the one you're supposed to be worshipping? And also, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Satan may bring you instant gratification, but he willl never bring you peace and salvation.

@cloudsovercacti29 Best video response I've seen so far! And good for you on taking initiative and posting this video and explaining your points very clearly and well. It's nice seeing a young believer like yourself who is truly knowledgeable in the Word of God and who isn't afraid to express their religious views on such a public platform like Youtube!!

[cloudsovercacti29]

@ThatTyGuy95 Thank you! It takes a lot of courage, but it's God that uses me, and I'm able to find that courage in him. I'd never be able to speak up on my own.

Great Job little lady! ... The TRUE RELIGION JAMES SPEAKS OF IS... To keep our selves unspotted (holy) in the world.... This proves to all that our love for God is greater than our love for pleasure.... It is the fulfillment of Loving God with all our Hearts, Minds, Souls and Strength! Let us prove it through wholly yielding to our Great God and allowing Him to Purify our lives with His Holy Spirit!

[cloudsovercacti29]

@billyhutchings Jesus's love is so much better than emptiness of worldly pleasure! And absolutely, we should always be open to his love! We are his children and members of the kingdom of God! :D

I understand your points, but then men that your saying are making the church so bad, are the men that wrote the bible. Did that slip your mind?

[cloudsovercacti29]

@boricuakr Those men were inspired by the Holy Spirit. They wrote it down, and a lot of it was in their perspective, but the Spirit of God guided them. Notice how the Gospels were written after they received the Spirit.

"It's not the church itself, it's the people in it"... But I thought the church WAS the people in it?

[aliciaisocoolike]

I don't per say agree with everything you've said but I feel the need to point out, you are a very well speaker.

[PartyBoy64]

@cloudsovercacti29 Lucifer is the only way. Remember that.

[cloudsovercacti29]

@MushroomedAnymore Well, Jesus does say many times in the Bible that the devil will be eternally away from God due to his disobedience (as in, forever and ever), and what's the point of hell if it's going to be saved? Also, my heart is unfaithful and shameful; only Christ can live in it and make it new. He changes my heart; my heart doesn't change him.

[cloudsovercacti29]

@MushroomedAnymore AMEN! :)

[cloudsovercacti29]

@PartyBoy64 I'll be praying that you are spiritually awakened by Jesus's grace.
