Well, maybe some of you don't if you don't at it's Isaac David on tiktok I post quite a bit on there It's actually my biggest social media platform So I spend a lot of time and energy on it learning about it And so also that means consuming content the funny thing about tiktok is that you often come across things that you Never expect or maybe on YouTube, you know your experience or watching experiences very catered to what you like what you agree with or It's what you decided to subscribe to but on tiktok. You're offered up random things from random people the other day I saw somebody shooting a tiktok in jail. I'm like you got a phone in jail that he sneak it in How is he a Wi-Fi a lot of questions, but it's very interesting also people at like family Reunions or in college dorms all sorts of stuff and I came across some a series of Progressive Christian tiktoks that were very interesting to me kind of mind-blowing And so I wanted to respond to them today not as a means of hating on them because you guys know me I'm not like that's not my MO. I don't want to just pull up stuff to make fun of I actually want things It'll build us up and you know help us actually follow Jesus daily And I think through these things will actually learn where we can go off in Conforming our own beliefs to the culture as opposed to the word of God and some of the excuses that people use in doing that and and the Honestly the trouble the problem with progressive and woke Christianity and what that actually looks like there are a lot of things to learn here, so let's get into it and Yeah, let's go growing up in the church as a good old Christian boy I was taught to check the teachings of the world against the teachings of the Bible because if it didn't line up with the Teachings of the Bible well then obviously that's how you would know it's not true But what I was not taught was to check my interpretation of the Bible Against what I knew to be the character of God and I think if Christians performed that test They would have a much clearer picture of what the Bible actually says Oh, okay a lot of meat in this this guy's coming in with a hot take So you need to interpret the Bible through what you believe the character of God to be hmm interesting I mean if you've grown up in the church, you know the whole thing about look if you something's going on in the culture, right? There's a new new Ideology or something else like that and we got to compare that to the word of God And that's how you be a good Christian because you're discerning right of course We do that on this channel all the time But this guy's coming in with his hot take saying no no no what you think God's character is that's what's most important And then you use that lens to look in the Bible and if something doesn't you know line up exactly then you know That's that ain't it my question is this how do you know God's character without the Bible, right? Okay, well you have general revelation so you can see the world around you. It's beautifully designed It is he is creative. He's a creative God. He's an orderly God He focuses on Simplicity but also complexity and he merges those two really nicely within creation There's certain things that we can identify about him through general revelation through creation So that tells me a little bit about his character But I still need to know more if I'm really gonna use it as my main interpreting principle of the Bible So then we look to the special revelation of God the Bible, right? And he's spelled it out clearly who he is what he has done who we are all that we need Oh, it's in there. We're good homie, right? Like we're good. We're solid The problem is is this guy's like well, you know, that's not a special revelation like come on now Like that's probably probably has some mistakes in it a little bit What's most important is what I think God is who I he uses the phrase how who I already know God's character to be really interesting. You already know who God is without the Bible Hmm. I don't know if that's necessarily true because I have a feeling that often that that's just coming out of What you got want God to be right if we were like, you know what God isn't he's not about that hell thing like that Well, that doesn't really align with who I think God's character is or I don't think God is Judgmental or he has any kind of wrath in him at all or maybe he doesn't even hate sin or maybe some things in the Bible that He calls in there. Yeah, but that's not really a alignment with what I think God's character is So that needs to change a little bit. Some people say I would never serve a God that would send people to hell Well, then you're willing to only serve a God that you can manufacture in your own mind because a God that is truly loving That's the interesting thing and they're so obsessed with love God's about love God's about love God's about love But if a God if God is truly loving and he is truly good He has to punish sin think of a judge that just lets criminals go free. That is not a loving judge Just ask their family members of the of the victims. They're not happy about it. They're like judge. What are you doing? How could you do this? You're a terrible corrupt judge So if God's gonna be good and he's gonna be loving he has to punish sin But a lot of people don't like that either. They don't like the idea of sin They don't like the idea that we're broken or we need Saving and so they kind of lift that from it. They're like, well, I don't know if that really fits in the Bible So let's just remove it But when they do that they actually stripped the beauty away from the gospel You see the gospel means good news and in order for the gospel to be truly good news We need to understand the bad news the bad news of sin of God's Judgment of us and how we actually deserve the penalty for that sin Which is hell but the good news of the gospel is that Jesus came to this earth fully God and fully man without Sin to live the sinless life that we could not live to die on the cross the death We deserve to die for our own sins against God and he rose again on the third day Defeating death so that we could be born again so that we could be freed from the presence and power and ultimately the penalty of sin That's a beautiful message. So no do not interpret the Bible based on your own Presuppositions about who God ought to be no look for the Bible look to the Bible for that special revelation of who God is Actually claimed to be what he has done and conform your life to that I got to mute the audio on this one because it has copyrighted music, but you'll get the point Karen wanted to spend her life as a missionary bringing Christianity to the third world. That's nice Everybody loves that found out they're happy in their own religions and she just had a white savior complex Okay, so it's like okay, well that's nice like you're gonna go Vangelize that's cool go into all the world and preach the gospel to every nation. That's cool Oh, yeah, I forgot about the part where Jesus was like Yeah, but not other nations though because you're gonna be like oh don't have a white savior complex come on now stain your own place They're probably happy in their religions. Just chill like what? It's like that's like woke Jesus he comes in go into all the world not the world You know what just keep it yourself You know what people are probably happy in their own religions or maybe their atheists or maybe their agnostics Maybe they believe in a lot of gods. That's cool, right? Did I it's not like I said I was the only way or anything or the truth of the life Wait, did I say that no probably not Christianity is not about you being happy like bro Like that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard like when we if you believe that and if you start teaching that That's gonna lead to so much destruction and heartache And I honestly think a lot of people were taught that in church if G if you have Jesus in your life You'll be happy fulfilled wealthy healthy like all this stuff But that's not the case right God doesn't promise that our emotions will always be like well We're always gonna be so happy and joyful and yeah, yeah, yeah, like you know like we're in a quartet or something like that I don't know why that came to my mind. I just imagined at the peak of happiness here in like a Quartet singing Never mind. I'm gonna cut this out Do we forget about all those verses about going through trials and experiencing heartache and Weep with those weep and all those kind of things and then also we need to understand the heart of Christianity It's not that we okay. Will we go there to make them more happy people? No, no, no We go there to proclaim the good news that Jesus has taken the penalty for our sins And so we're saying hey look, you know what you're not perfect as you are you need somebody else You need Jesus he said he's the only way you are not enough in and of yourself You need Jesus it doesn't matter if you're happy or not Obviously that is a very intolerant message according to the world But it is nonetheless true and that's the reason that we are called to go into all the world and proclaim the gospel making Disciples and the interesting thing. Why does she bring race into this? She has white savior complex I feel like this is the same kind of lady that would say that Christianity is a white man's religion is only used to Oppress people well, I'm gonna talk about that a little bit more after we watch this bit next video here We go. This is prepare yourself. This is gonna be intense Are we ready to talk about how white Christianity does nothing but perpetuate rape culture and it started at the conception of Jesus Married and consent to that Okay, okay, that's a lot. That's a lot. I was not prepared for that that was What? What? There's so much in that. Okay, let's talk about white Christianity You know talking about white savior complex white Christianity I don't know why progressive Christians are so obsessed with race like did Ephesians 3 28 mean nothing to you There is neither Jew nor Gentile slave nor free male nor female. We are all one in Christ Christianity is not a white man's religion and anybody that tries to propagate that message is lying to you Jesus wasn't white and Anybody that uses the church as a means to gain power over people or oppressed people Those are not Christians. Those are people that are trying to usurp the Christian system or church or whatever kind of institution organization in order to maintain Dominance or whatever like that's not a Christian thing and we can gladly all point all those people out That's bad. Don't do that. But Christianity is not a white man's religion I don't know about you, but I go to a multi ethnic church are those people being subjected to the white man's religion Are they being indoctrinated to white Christianity? No We as Christians need to be focused on our central identity our central identity is not in our race It is in Christ and if you disagree with that, I'm sorry But that's what the Bible has to call us to it is that we are new creations in Christ and that is our central Identity okay, but she accuses the church in Christianity of doing nothing, but propagating rape culture Which is quite an accusation, but here's what I would say is that well the culture celebrates promiscuity and Perversions of all sorts they applaud it God has called this to something much greater a higher standard Where we're supposed to keep each other accountable That's an aspect of it where we're supposed to understand power dynamics within the church to keep a careful eye and making sure that There isn't abuse and when abuse happens calling it out and should the church get better at this of course But we are made up of individuals the church is made up of individuals So it's our job to keep ourselves accountable as well continuing to pursue Christ but here's the thing at least we have a standard by which we're able to say Abuse is bad and this is wrong at least we have a standard see the world is just appealing to whatever the The morality of the day is which is constantly changing You see progressive Christians trying to twist the Bible as quickly as they can to try to appease the woke mob But they can't even do it fast enough. They're like we're changing this. No, we don't believe this We don't believe this you see when we hold to the word of God It actually gives us standards of justice by which we can say abuse that's wrong we you're out, right? You need to repent you need to be punished for this Christianity elevates the vulnerable of society and takes care of them That is what we are called to I don't even think I need to address that last part where she's like Mary didn't even give consent Like what on this earth like oh my goodness. I don't understand people that they try everything They will do anything possible to obfuscate on their accountability before God They will accuse him of every conceivable thing whether it's the Old Testament or New Testament They will bring accusations against him to justify their own unbelief Okay Okay Okay Man, you know, we have two decisions We can either look at God's word and conform that to our own lifestyle. So, you know what that doesn't really fit with me You know what? I'm gonna kind of manipulate and move it a little bit We'll still maybe call ourselves a Christian, but you know what? We don't want all that bigoted hateful stuff in there. That's just outdated that is not Relevant to our culture nowadays. So I'm just gonna take the good stuff We can either do that and you know, our life is at the forefront everything else conforms it to what we want What we desire is most important. What we think is good That's what we're gonna take in and everything else We're just gonna kind of spit out like a little bit of an erasable Bible or we can conform our lives to what God says Which is what we are called to do I'm not saying it's easy friends But I'm saying that when we walk in step with Jesus when we begin to Seek after him as most important when we don't understand our own opinion and perspective as the most important But rather we want to conform our lives and beliefs and character and heart to that of Christ Then there's so much freedom from that because we're no longer held to the standard this new religion of Wokeism or progressivism where they're like you need to conform your life constantly to our ever-changing morality No, you don't need to do that You need to hold your life Against the standard of who God is and what he has done and what he has said in his word And when you fall down there is grace and there is forgiveness available There is no forgiveness in the progressive Christian world There is no forgiveness because it is a constantly changing morality where it is constant repentance It is constant. Oh, I'm sorry. I offended you. I'm sorry. I've done this. I'm the oppressor here I am terrible piece of garbage all that but there's never any forgiveness and lightness knowing that God is Who he says he is and he has forgiven us and we are free And we don't need to constantly be trying to evaluate is this who God is I don't know if this aligns with what I believe his character is and maybe I take this or lose this it's like no just sit at the table and enjoy and Rest and follow because what God is inviting us to is light and that's what I want to invite you into well Other people may celebrate confusion and not really knowing exactly. I'm not sure if God exists or I'm not sure if Jesus is really God. I'm inviting you To know God to love him to know that he is who he says he is in the word of God And to begin to develop a relationship with him and to get a little self-reflective I think each of us needs to look at our own lives and say what have I Taken out of the Bible or raised out of the Bible because it didn't fit what I wanted to believe about God Or it didn't fit my lifestyle or it didn't fit It made me uncomfortable because I had to confront some stuff in my own life what are those things And we can bring those to God and say God. Hey, I've been doing this. I'm sorry I I I've been prideful in thinking that I should control what is true What is right? What is good when you are the definition when you have standard of that Can you forgive me and he does And once again he gets He coaxes us to get up and walk again with him and that is the amazing father that he is Hey guys, thank you so much for watching this video.
