"Friends, nothing is true because you feel it. In fact, if you live your life based on your feelings, alone, you will destroy your life. Don't guard your mind by your feelings. Guard your feelings by your mind".
I can’t tell you how powerful this was 🙌🏾
I can….it wasn’t? Of all the ludicrous arguments for the existence of god, morality is the most ludicrous.
@@SuperEdge67 how comes?
Fascinating
Amazing
Excellent
I need a two-month discussion guide to help my teens get free from the lies from pop culture about truth, morality and God. Any suggestions?
I identify as a transgender woman which makes me almost exactly the same as I am now....A man.. Because I'm in with the times bro!
In a study that was conducted by the University of Chicago, a link was found between non-religious upbringing and
kindness. In fact, children who were raised without religion were not only kinder but also showed more empathy towards others.
While most would believe that religion and a higher power breeds a better upbringing, this study seems to indicate otherwise. Led by Professor Jean Decety looked into the perceptions and behavior of various children located in six different countries. They looked into the children’s likeliness to share, as well as their habits regarding judging others or punishing them for bad behavior.
“Overall, our findings … contradict the commonsense and popular assumption that children from religious households are more altruistic and kind towards others,”
“More generally, they call into question whether religion is vital for moral development, supporting the idea that secularization of moral discourse will not reduce human kindness - in fact, it will do just the opposite.”
Like the kindness of communist leaders.....not.
What measures kindess? What were the control variables? Has this study been peer review? Has the study's findings been replicated? What are the researcher's area of study/ background? Are there any conflicting area of interest?
Based on how people view kindess - agreement with anothers beliefs, topics in which one believes in and then acts on, care for the "less" of society - conclusion can be prone to bias via world view. What if one has the view that people have no sin they need to be saved from, and view to be offensive and intolerant the gospel or relgion in of itself?
Do you have the link to the study? The conclusion means nothing without the context and needed info
@@andrewwoode Also what are the ages of the kids? Kindness is on the heart. And kids are generally kind unless they are conditioned not to be.... Sort of a bliss ignorance.
The argument isn’t that you need to be a religious person to know what morality is. it’s that everybody was created with morality written on our hearts no matter how we live. and if there is no God there can’t be objective morality, it’s only a matter of opinion.
Sean must be charging a sh...*t load to give this presentation because he lives in a really, really, really nice gated community in a really really really big house.
Sean? Is the "truth of Christ" the ONLY truth you care abou?
Yes, why would you care about anything else?
@@isakhedeen There is nothing else to a person but that? Would you care if your spouse or best friend was being truthful to you?
@@mashah1085 that has nothing to do with the truth of Christ. The truth of Christ is a worldview that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. that doesn’t interfere with your best friend or spouse being truthful to you or not. But to answer your question I would care if they are truthful or not but I would care way more about the truth of Christ.
@@isakhedeen I used the word "only"...is the ONLY thing you care about the 'Truth of Christ" or do you care about your family and friends being truthful? Yes or No?
IYDYAT
@@isakhedeen So how are you answering my original question to Sean?
I pray and hope that everyone who is listening to this man will never get cursed and be protected by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST, Pls. Wake up Church, can’t you see that this preacher doing a devil’s horn sign? i saw him many times doing this not only to this church but also to other churches including our mega church before that’s why i ran from their teaching.
just listen to yourself...ill assume your an adult...and you are celebrating a religion based on drinking blood and eating flesh (how exactly does blood protect you...seriously how?)...and you have the classic satan paranoia "devils horns" ..wow...so...even if he is flashing satan signs how does that change anything...2000 years of absolutely nothing profound..a failed prophet amd there is no devil..unless your have proof otherwise....
Can't someone learn from many different Christian sources even if some have faults? Some people are way too sensitive when it comes to Christian teachings they find one kink in the armor and they think it's the devil. They're still human! Not one Christian pastor or spiritual leader is perfect.
They still haven't put outdoor speakers at my church should I raise a big fuss and quit the church for that?
Steal something from a thief.... They might get a little upset.
So... truth is important because our beliefs affect our actions.
And therefore sean pressuposes christianity is true therefore morality is based on christianity.
well....thats how every truth comes out....you believe something, you look for evidence to see if its true or not. Thats how science works..
