Why I am no longer a Christian...

1. Define GOD first. Then cross reference with what the Hebrew God says in his word. You will not like it. Why? Go back to 1. Our definition of god plays a big role. The Hebrew God is not a waiter. He is not a vending machine.

Interesting

Need a little bit of adventure ? Take your time, you'll be back one day.

I personally had en encounter with Jesus Christ when COVID started, Yes he is real and is coming back very soon. I told God if he was real to reveal himself to me and 2 weeks later I had a dream of a man with a white robe looking down at me and I lifted my hands to Gina bd yelled “Jesus!!!” But in Spanish. And after I did that I remember I started to fly and then I remembered what the pastor said he said “He is coming back” and I thought that’s it he came back for me, so I started celebrating but then I looked to my left because I thought I was with him forever but he was just looking at me, and I thought “Why is he starring at me?” And I soon as I thought that it looked like he knew what I was think long and looked back at the city and I woke up. That same day I got some donuts and afte that we stopped at a gasoline station near Walmart and It was only me and my mom but my dad went to get some ice, and I had a strong feeling to tell them my dream but I was nervous beciase I never told them something like that, but I told them anyway and all they told me was “Stop watching that Christian , and pray to Mary”because I grew up catholic but once we got back home I remember it was like 8 or 9pm and I had the box of donuts in my hands and I was in my driveway but then I had a feeling to glance at the same direction that I did in my dream and as soon as I looked up I saw a shooting star form infront of me and while I am looking at it I heard a crystal clear voice like inside of me that said “Jesus Christ” but in English and as soon as that happened I ran inside not believing in what I just saw and Yes Jesus is Real and is the Only Way to go to Heaven. Jesus: I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life, no man comes unto The Father but thou Me. May Hod Bless You!!!

Original sin is false doctrine. Read Ezekiel 18. God condemns it.

"Jesus" is a fictional character..the bible was written or rewritten under the flavian emperors of early rome..other main players in this were the herods and alexanders..

I'm inviting you to try Islam, you'd never regret it. It'll expose you to another level of personal peace, tranquility, and fulfillment.

Quraan is the Holy book of Muslims, which clearly comments on the trinity in which, The Lord says never ever talk of trinity as your Lord is one and one only. As per Quraan the Jesus christ never ever said anything of trinity what so ever. This is the only Devine scripture which has only one version all over the world unlike Bible which has approximately 36 version as of now. Quraan, a 1500 years old divine book in its original form, contains a complete Chapter on the Holy Marry explaining the birth of Jesus, his miracles and the fallacy of his death.

In Islam these are the basic faith different from Christianity
1. Every Child born is innocent in Islam vs Child born in sin in christianity.
2. No one is answerable in life here after till he achieves a grown up age of puberty ie 12-14 years.
3. In all religions the belief in life hereafter is at its core, because the Lord has given us the choice to live a life which he has not given to any other creation and thus we are answerable beside being rewarded for good and bad.

Am sorry, don t want to be disrespectful but it seems that you weren t teach well, never heard in my life that kids are sinful, on the contrary........, didn t Jeaus said "Let the children come to Me!!"? No buts!!

I lost my faith in church. Kept the teachings ofJesus in the gospels, , not "the gosoel". not the church. Not paul. Not calvin. Not pastors.. church pushed itself into what we were to think was God. The hypocrisy, abuse, lies, bullying, were cruel. Even when subtle.
"Dont fiosake the gathering of the brethren" can people trapped in such prolonged abuses.

"The gosoel", as taught in American christianity, i can no longer back up with svripture... At least, i can show orher things but the usual sinners prayer scriptures.

Jesus didn't come to give us Christianity

Rome gave us Christianity

Jesus came to give us HIMSELF

I don't believe in God

Thank you Trent. Subscribed. 🌷👍

Thank you

its a pity u threw it all out...Christian Universalism is a viable alternative ..the knowledge that God IS love and will ultimately reconcile ALL changes EVERYTHING

Did you ever think - really think - you were never a Christian? You just thought you were a Christian, or thought you identified as a Christian? It is not about your faith in Christianity, and its various forms, rather your faith in Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Repent and believe the Gospel.” Did you ever repent? Like really repent? Was your faith in “Christianity, as you thought it to be,” or Jesus Christ and the Bible and all that Christ and scriptures say He is? Today, unfortunately, Christianity is “superficial” cultural religion. Hope you really figure it out. When you do, you will be ready to die to your old life and live a new life in Jesus Christ. Shalom.

Stay strong my friend. I have no problems with Christianity but some are pushing their beliefs so hard like a cult. Im a Buddhist but i dint understand why some of them attacked Buddhism, claiming Buddhist is the devil's religion. And if there were any accidental deaths, especially kids and their parents we're athiest or any other religion thats not Christianity. Those kids will end up in hell, no fault of their own. Jesus chooses who goes to Heaven, therefore he sends people to hell as well.

That is exactly why my deconstruction started. I can say I believe in universal reconciliation now. And that is in eyes of western christianity - heresy. So yes I'm proud heretic

The point is that a person who claims to be saved and claim they stop believing was never saved. If a lot of you be honest with yourself, its nothing God did because He clearly tells us in the word of God that we won't understand everything clearly but when He comes we will understand everything clearly, but let's just overlook that verse. You're just one that chooses the god of this world. I pray you come to Christ because once He comes for you, there's no turning back ever. God said many will fall from the faith. Trust me, He is God. Who could have known that? Hell is real🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I take great comfort in this video, thank you. One of the most crushing cognitive dissonances was seeing “worldly ppl” be so much kinder, positive & balanced, and me thinking that my perception was flawed because how could ppl with God living in them be more problematic?
The comfort I get from your msg is im reminded i can grow into that integrated & positive & true person, show kindness with zero transactional intent behind it, and meet ppl just where they are at.
It’s just struck me how hopeful that actually is

Many Christians in know in church are less inclusive than most athiest

"And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it." Mark 8:34-35

The main reason why you're doing this is because you lean on your own understanding and when you began to think what's 'good' or 'likely to be good' for you, you tend to think you're the God. But that's not the truth. We're not our own God and that's why we can not know the reason behind every thing. God bless you and has great plans for you if you just choose to get back 🙌

"What you see you cant unsee"--very true. Thank you Trent for sharing your testimony...have a great day 😊

This is so sad

What I´ve found out about all those superfundamentalists is - they are hypocrisy liars - they love to brainwash other people with their doctrines and mind control very much.😵😵

Every time you try to have a real nice and normal conversation with somebody who is a superfundamentalist - just forget about it - because he tries to convince you about his believe-system and his doctrines about Jesus and the bible - again and again - its not really possible to have a decent or normal conversation with those ppl. not at all. At the end - you will never ever talk again to those religious brainwashed freaks - its sad but there is no real friendship possible with those bible freaks at all.😱😰😨

Had a phone talk with a fundament. bible freak yesterday. It was not possible to have a decent normal talk with him. Everything is supernatural in his life - and the bad things, that happen in his life - he is just repressing those - that´s totally nuts - his whole mind set is fully messed up with religious doctrines. Never will call him again - because he is nuts.

Hopefully Trent you may read this:

With all respect I consider your 3 points are not good reasons, and actually they seem kind of emotional for they are not based in the seeking of truth objectively, and honestly and humbly I'm trying to be objective as much as I can. I am a follower of JESUS CHRIST and what I learnt so far is that all of us, we have faith in someone or something, it's unavoidable, so the question is, what is the best faith according to the truth, according to the evidence? A faith not based in our feelings because it is not a wise solid ground, instead giving our best to find the truth, against the truth we can do nothing, but for the truth. Personally I think GOD in His wisdom chose to save people by faith, there is wisdom in it, and it's very complex sometimes to understand it, I don't deny it. Finally please search the truth, love truth, to wherever leads you, to me if objectively atheism were true I would like to be an atheist, but according to the evidence, my experiences and the using of my abilities I believe the faith in JESUS CHRIST is the best faith, Remember please we're all believers in someone or something, we all are free to believe what we want, but we are not free from the consequences, life is so, our actions will have consequences, let's be wise and let's search the truth please, I say my words seriously and respectfully, honestly I want to love the truth and a way of loving it, it's by defending it. Thanks for reading my comment. I wish you the best...

You and others didn't leave "Christianity". You left evangelical fundamentalist Protestantism, one fringe of a huge and now ancient religion. Did you - and others - ever seriously investigate the huge central swathes of the religion, i.e., Catholicism, Orthodoxy (Oriental and Eastern) and historic mainstream Protestantism, i.e., Anglicanism, Lutheranism and Presbyterianism???

It seems rather dishonest to say you have ditched Christianity if you have only ever sampled a small fraction of it.

The wages of sin is eternal death but the gift of God is eternal life through jesus christ our lord.

This sounds like you started believing in the church building and process ,rather than God himself. I don't believe almost anything pastors say until i have proved it myself. By modern definition, im not a Christian anymore. That word doesn't even exist ih the bible.

You know you can love God. But you do not have to believe what's in the Bible. Because it was written by a man, many men and if God would have wrote the Bible, it would have been perfect with no discrepancies so carry on Bud have a great day.

I always find these videos interesting because it’s always a Protestant that comes to realize the flaws of the Protestant faith, and they believe that these flaws exist in all denominations of Christianity. The Catholic Church has answers to these conundrums. I pray you find your way back to god 🙏🏻

Because, maybe you were never truly born again. If you truly passed from death unto life. I can't wrap my head around abandonment of Jesus.

The music during the kids at the dinner table part sounds like Fleetwood Mac’s “Gypsy.”

The doctrine of "original sin" is grossly unbiblical. God spoke to the Israelites concerning "your little ones, ... your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, ...". Deut 1.39. In order for a person to "go astray" (Isaiah 53.6) there must have been a time when he has not yet sinned. Everyone starts off innocent: "God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes". Eccl. 7.29. Hence the reason Jesus said of "little children" that "to such belongs the kingdom of heaven". Matt 19.14. There will be some category of people among "the dead, great and small" (emphasis on small) who never had a chance to sin, who will be found in the Book of Life at the Great White Throne Judgment, as implied by Rev 20.11-15. Since they don't need Jesus's blood (see Isaiah 53.6 again), they will simply be saved by Jesus's resurrection. Rom 5.12 (twisted by many into a doctrine of original sin) teaches that we inherit Adam's death, not Adam's guilt. David, who believed he himself was saved by grace through trust in Yahweh (see Psalm 32, which sounds like a Pauline letter), obviously didn't believe in original sin when his infant son passed away. See 2 Sam 12.23.

I can no longer submit myself to a God that has beat me down for my entire life. Nothing has ever worked out for me. No matter how hard I worked, no matter how hard I tried. And if it’s witchcraft, why has he allowed it to continue?? I have nothing to live for at 37 years old. I’m done.

I’m sorry. Plz remember every knee and every tongue will confess that Jesus is the Christ

I KNOW
YOU READ THIS EVIL BOOK

Right on, mate.

just because your child was a newborn doesn't make her a saint or innocent. Children can be in fact very cruel. It's also very egoistic that you mention YOUR daughter who looked innocent to you, but you never saw it in other kids.

I fully respect your view and as you as a person. Please know that. I would only ask, if we, as mere humans, could comprehend God, what kind of God would that be? Where it says, "My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, my ways higher than your ways," I hope I quoted that right, but paraphrased! But I don't think we can (or were meant) to fully comprehend God this side of eternity. Just my take. I agree completely that our beliefs evolve and change over our lives. Wishing you the best.

As most always, the free-will, man-centered, self- salvation, falsely indoctrinated folks make these videos and the comments are always the same. They slipped in and out of false Christianity and never once heard of predestination, God's sovereignty, God's elect or God's will. You were raised in a false, side-door. Side religion that wasn't real. You have never understood soteriology.. There is no free-will.. there is no free-will church....

The Devil has Blinded the Minds...


Genesis 3:1,4,5 The Serpent Deceiving the Woman to Doubt, then call God a Liar!

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he
said unto the woman,Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.


Luke 18:7-8 Shall The Son of Man Find Faith on Earth?

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?


2Peter 3:3-4 Where is The Promise of His Coming?

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.


Ephesians 2: 1-3 The Prince of The Power of The Air - Working in Children of Disobedience

1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.


2Corinthians 4:2-7 The Gospel Hid to them that are Lost

2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God
deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of
the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts,
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

I believe in God I feel like a loser just thinking about it now that the only thing that keeps me going is a hope that Jesus is real and heaven is real. I just want my own home, I have been working towards that but made stupid mistake of giving too much to charity, I know about gratefulness and being grateful for what I got and how I could be in a much worse situation but my situation is still not good in my opinion, I have been a single man for over ten years now, living with my parents. I am just being honest now, living with a father I don’t get along with in a small house. I just want to escape this very much sometimes, all I have been doing is trying to do what is right for over ten years since following Jesus, I always knew about Jesus as a child but didn’t think about God seriously until about 23. I get really fed up sometimes, honestly I just want to leave this damn earth.

God is real religions are guidances, Christianity is the highest level of truth about love, we are here to grow in love like Jesus. Reincarnation is real, that explains fairness, just people don’t see the bigger picture. Also free will does exist so things just get real muddled and crazy tapestry amongst the organisation of the laws that do exist in this world they hold the shit together.

Seeing the guy that was once my youth pastor grow into an even kinder and considerate and thoughtful person is wonderful 🥰
