John Green's "My Religion" Is a Lie (With Dr. Braxton Hunter)
2025/07/17
Support The Ministry: https://patreon.com/thechurchsplit Order My Book: https://a.co/d/1vjiC16 The Network: https://onelifenetwork.org Braxton's Channel: Trinity Radio John Green (@vlogbrothers ), famous author of A Fault in our Stars, Turtles all the Way Down, and Everything Tuberculous, recently released a video titled “My Religion” where he describes a highly personal, pluralistic view of faith. While he claims the name of Christ, much of what he shares contradicts the core teachings of historical Christianity. In this video, I and @BraxtonHunter respond with truth and love—addressing key claims he makes about God, the Bible, salvation, sexuality, universalism, and the nature of sin. This isn’t just about John Green. It’s about a growing trend in our culture: redefining Christianity to fit modern preferences instead of submitting to the authority of God’s Word. 🔍 Topics Covered: – Is God just a human idea? – Does everyone go to heaven? – Can we pick and choose from the Bible? – What does Scripture really say about sin and salvation? 📖 Truth matters. Grace is real. But the gospel cannot be rewritten. 👇 Share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s have a real conversation about faith, Scripture, and the danger of progressive theology. #JohnGreen #ChristianResponse #ProgressiveChristianity #FalseTeaching #Vlogbrothers #BiblicalTruth #GospelTruth #MyReligionResponse 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Christian Music's DARK Secret: Accountability is LONG Overdue
2025/07/03

According to Cory Asbury, “everyone knew.” In this video, we break down the timeline of allegations, the newly released hotel footage, and Cory Asbury’s explosive admission that exposes a deep culture of silence in the Christian music industry. We also respond to Hayley Williams (Paramore) and her misguided claim that Tait’s abuse was caused by Christianity’s non-affirming stance on LGBTQ issues — a dangerous and distracting narrative. The truth is clear: the Christian music industry needs a complete overhaul. It’s time to confront celebrity worship, demand accountability, and create real structures that protect victims, not reputations. 💡 In this video: The background on Michael Tait and the evidence now public Why “everyone knew” is such a devastating indictment The problem with blaming doctrine instead of holding individuals accountable How Christian celebrity culture enables abuse What real accountability and reform look like ⚖️ This isn’t about cancel culture — it’s about truth, justice, and protecting the integrity of the gospel. 👇 Watch now, and join the conversation. We can’t stay silent any longer.

Peterson speaks powerfully about meaning, morality, and myth... but is he preaching the Gospel? Or have many believers been intellectually flattered into embracing psychology over theology? 📖 We’ll explore: What Jordan Peterson actually believes about God How Carl Jung shaped his worldview Why “acting as if God exists” isn’t the same as saving faith The difference between Jesus as an archetype vs. Jesus as Lord The real danger of confusing Christian symbolism with Christian salvation 👉 Don’t settle for metaphor when you have the Messiah. #JordanPeterson #JubileeDebate #ChristianResponse #JungianPsychology #JesusIsLord #Apologetics #pastorreact Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwk5MPE_6zE&t=3734s  @jubilee   @JordanBPeterson  Uncommon Creation | Wood Work and Expertise: https://uncommoncreations3.wixsite.com/uncommon-creations/category/all-products?fbclid=IwY2xjawHWtTpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd2BptF-I3w1BNlxYE2ZJDf1OjNgz2WETT0yBBTW-HfIjyWyX2e1g02mhQ_aem_E5IXshsJQ19WUBcgV2-9aw Music Credit: Bensound, High Octane - #2215113

Ex Fundamentalist EXPOSES the Dark Side of Religion

Through clear, biblical teaching and personal insight, Will exposes how poor religious practices can distort the gospel and weigh down believers with shame, fear, and obligation. But the message doesn’t stop there. This sermon shifts gears into the liberating truth of the resurrection and the arrival of the New Creation. What does it actually mean to be a Christian? What does true loyalty to Christ look like beyond rules, checklists, or cultural Christianity? If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by religion or burdened by trying to “earn” your place with God, this sermon offers hope, clarity, and the freedom found in the risen Jesus. 📖 Scripture Focus: Galatians | Theme: Grace Over Law, Resurrection Life, and True Discipleship More sermons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnBnNo-j7gE&list=PLdV3--Jn5Iqz0l91aIXuf78S1MBsHFuTx&pp=gAQB #RethinkingReligion #WillHess #Galatians #Legalism #NewCreation #ChristianFaith #Resurrection #GospelTruth #JesusIsEnough Uncommon Creation | Wood Work and Expertise: https://uncommoncreations3.wixsite.com/uncommon-creations/category/all-products?fbclid=IwY2xjawHWtTpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd2BptF- I3w1BNlxYE2ZJDf1OjNgz2WETT0yBBTW-HfIjyWyX2e1g02mhQ_aem_E5IXshsJQ19WUBcgV2-9aw Music Credit: Bensound, High Octane - #2215113

One is accused of stabbing a fellow teen. The other was caught on video using a racial slur. Both have sparked viral outrage—but is our culture learning, or just unraveling? In this video, we explore these events through a Christian lens—looking beyond race, revenge, and rage to uncover the real issue: the loss of human dignity rooted in the image of God. We’ll show how modern tribalism, selective outrage, and media-driven division are tearing apart our families, confusing our kids, and distracting us from the only solution that brings real justice: the gospel of Jesus Christ.   Uncommon Creation | Wood Work and Expertise: https://uncommoncreations3.wixsite.com/uncommon-creations/category/all-products?fbclid=IwY2xjawHWtTpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd2BptF-I3w1BNlxYE2ZJDf1OjNgz2WETT0yBBTW-HfIjyWyX2e1g02mhQ_aem_E5IXshsJQ19WUBcgV2-9aw Music Credit: Bensound, High Octane - #2215113

DEBUNKING the SBC Backlash on "Allegiance Alone"
2025/05/22
Support The Ministry: https://patreon.com/thechurchsplit Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=DNCPKRQVTBD5E Order My Book: https://a.co/d/1vjiC16 The Network: https://onelifenetwork.org/ The Southern Baptist Reformed establishment is clutching its theological pearls again—this time over Matthew Bates and his provocative work Salvation by Allegiance Alone. Al Mohler, Thomas Schreiner, and other SBC scholars are not having it. Why? Because Bates challenges the sacred cow of their Calvinistic system, daring to suggest that "faith" might actually involve something more than passive intellectual assent. In this video, we break down their most absurd objections—ranging from semantic gymnastics to straw man arguments—and show why Bates' proposal isn’t just biblical, it's necessary. We’ll explore: Why the word "pistis" can’t be reduced to mental agreement How Calvinist categories often force Scripture into a philosophical grid Why "allegiance" offers a richer, more robust vision of saving faith And why the SBC gatekeepers feel so threatened by this If you’re tired of theological ivory towers and want to dig into a gospel that demands real, embodied loyalty to King Jesus, this one’s for you. 👑 Jesus is Lord. Not just Savior. Not just System. 📖 Subscribe for more bold theology, biblical clarity, and cultural critique. #MatthewBates #AllegianceAlone #AlMohler #ThomasSchreiner #SBC #CalvinismDebunked #FaithAndAllegiance #TheologyWars #jesusisking Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=tp3P0FYq0Rg  @AlbertMohlerOfficial   @BraxtonHunter  🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

But behind the polished branding and calls for civility lies a different story. In this video, we pull back the curtain on the real behavior coming from the frontman of Rethinking Hell. From calling arguments "stupid," to accusing fellow believers of slander, blocking anyone who dares to disagree, and even shouting on camera — the contrast between message and method is too loud to ignore. This isn’t about theology. This is about integrity. 👀 WATCH to see the evidence. 🗣️ SHARE if you've seen this behavior too. ✝️ It’s time to hold leaders to the same standards they preach.
