[ThatBastardOverThere]

You had me 'till 1:28. The message you are spreading does not need to only apply to the religious. So don't market it only to the religious. I'll still probably go along with this, but that bit put a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

Interesting question: if I follow everything you say, except that part at 1:28, what do you think of me? Am I headed for hell?

@ThatBastardOverThere Use Google to find the original site for this movement, which was started by 5 churches. One certainly does not need to be religious to do any of this, of course (except perhaps the worshiping part), but part of the spirit of it is that Christians are wanting to reclaim advent (which is, after all, about God's impending incarnation on earth) for a holier purpose. (And whether or not you do any of this has absolutely no bearing on whether or not one goes to hell.)

I love this! What if we did this?

[UMCoftheResurrection]

@UMCoftheResurrection Hello. I would love to have the full version of this video and use it at our church. Kindly advise if it's possible. Thank you.

[UMCoftheResurrection]

@ginlaofamily I've sent a message to your YouTube inbox explaining where to get it.

@ThatBastardOverThere Seems to me that you're just trying to find something critical, for a 1:38sec video there was 1 second of something religious and still someone finds a way to attack it. There's definitely something wrong with this picture...

@webbeccjo I know! That's why I hate it when bullhorn people shove pamphlets into your hands that say "HELL IS TERRIBLE! QUICK! SAVE YOURSELVES!" or something along those lines.

And it isn't about following his teachings, because, once you have that relationship that every human so desires (but not many know it) you will do what he teaches anyway. Because God's law is written on everyone's hearts. It's what we call our conscience.

[webbeccjo]

@nzlioness its not about hell, its about a relationship now - I feel sad for anyone whose main motivation to come to Christ is to avoid hell! It should be to follow his teachings now...to spread his message of peace and love here and now.

[webbeccjo]

@ThatBastardOverThere of course its religious, advent is a religious celebration :)

Closeness to the divine is not found by following a set of rules.... whats that song?" its got to be more like falling in love than something to believe in". you are welcome to believe it or not - totally your choice/your journey, but please don't try to force Christians to apologize for our own beliefs or explain our beliefs as they pertain to you....no one was proselytizing here. :)

Love the message of this group.

Sadly, in America too many people have used this kind of advertisement to steal money for themselves. I trust no one anymore.

@UMCoftheResurrection Can you send me instructions to download your Advent Conspiracy video?  I'd like to use it in our worship service. Thanks!

I like this ad more than there others. It's the only one that doesn't have Jesus silhouettes all over therefore it's more open to everyone and they own worship.
