As a member of Gen Z myself who’s come to and left God repeatedly over the course of my life, I feel like I have a bit of say in this conversation. We’re not asking how God will make our lives better, we’re asking how you can prove he exists. Edit: Apparently this wasn't clear in the original comment but I am indeed a Christian, specifically an Eastern Orthodox catechumen. I wasn't saying I'm an atheist (in fact I specifically denounced atheism in the replies and repeatedly stated my faith), I was simply being a devil's advocate by speaking from the perspective of one despite not being one myself.
@@KingdomFTX I was born and raised Christian, I’ve simply walked away from most of the dogmatic institutions that claim to be houses of God Do I believe in God? Yes. Do I believe in Jesus? Yes. Do I belong to any major organized religion or believe in mainstream Christianity? No
They cannot. Stop asking this question it's been answered by no evidence. Leave the church. Stop clinging to it already, we're out so be out not halfway.
@@AndrewGiles688 With all due respect I’m not going to value the opinion of someone I don’t know. If you want to leave the church then fine but don’t enforce that belief in other people, same goes for those who are in the church and want others to join
That's a very good point. I felt forced going to church every Sunday. I never really knew why I had to go to church. I wanted to know why the people whowent believe in what they believe. I did some research and found my way back to Christ.
I have no problem with people believing in whatever makes them personally happy but children should be not be taught religion or exposed to religious rituals. Let them grow Some people live and Maybe young people just don't believe and have other things they want to do with their life and their family should respect that because the next step of leaving religion is leaving their family. My mum was a crazy over the top Christian who was obsessed with her God she didn't allow anything in the house like toys, TV, Internet, fictional books anything fun at all because it was all worldly. Days out to play in park or go to cinama or bowling or birthday parties were forbidden. She didn't even encourage me with school work because she thought no other subject was important than religion. She expected me to focus on god and just do enough at school to get any minimum wage paid job enough to support myself for food while warning me i was not to focus on the job or any social aspects of the job and must keep god first and foremost in my mind. The only thing that was allowed in my childhood was church, reading the bible constantly, praying and conversations that were about god. Day in day out all I heard was god this god that what do you think god would think about this. When I got bored and started trying to talk about anything but God or asked to do anything non religious and whined about it I was punished into complience. My mum and I are no contact I left home at 18 . I worked hard and started my own home run business I've two children and they are my joy in life. I give my children the childhood I never had and I would never ever raise a hand to them or take away their childhood. They're both kind and loving children, they're creative, funny smart, inquisitive and curious without me teaching them that a god is watching their every move. My children enjoy everything that life has to offer, they enjoy school and kindergarden, my son loves sports. They love going to the park and play parks and camping. I make a point of doing something with them every night of the week , we have movie nights, game nights, cooking and baking sessions, lego and building nights. Now my daughter is three we are going on our first trip to Disney land and I think I'm almost as excited as the children to create memories. That's how I want my children to grow up in the here and now with love, fun and experiences. Their schools are thankfully nor religious and I would never allow them to be exposed to religion while young and innocent. My mother is so caught up in her book that she will never change she reached out about meeting the children and instantly attacked me because of how I raise them and how worldly I am. She can't see sense or reason and unfortunately I've had to accept that I can't even allow her to be part of her grand children's life because I know I'd see all of the joy taken from their life all their experiences and fun would be taken away replaced with a old book, a church pew and the word god. Forcing religion on children and making it the only thing in their life won't keep them in religion it will drive them away at the expense of their relationship with their family
Thank you for not indoctrinating your children and letting them make their own decisions when they are ready. I brought my 3 daughters up the same way, now they are 15,26 and 29. Unfortunately my wife’s parents are trying their best to indoctrinate my youngest daughter and she told them that she would make her own mind up when she is ready. My 2 older daughters are open minded, intelligent and enjoy everything life has to offer. I’ve always told them that they are free to believe in whatever they want too and it wouldn’t offend me in the slightest. I was born and raised in the UK by agnostic parents and when I moved to Georgia US in 2002 I was stunned by the way young children are threatened with hell or whatever if they don’t believe. Let your children be children and don’t force your beliefs upon them, let them make their own decisions when it comes to religion. Thank you for your comment, it was like a breath of fresh air in a small closed off room that’s hard to escape.
i agree if I plan to have kids I will never in my life put them through the pain they may go through that I experienced if they really want to then it's their choice but I'm never gonna have as a foundation for how they grow up
thats not true, it has nothing to do with faith. its because people see religion as less important due to the world becoming way more connected, and stress of work today.
Religion doesnt cure depression. In fact alot of times its a coping mechanism. Religion is NOT the truth, please get educated and dont get brainwashed. Depression has to do with other psychological problems, past trauma, maybe a disability, or not being able to fit in society. Getting therapy Or love from friends and family helps. And if there is no family and friends than therapy is needed
The current environment of church doesn't fit the new generation...same boring worship crappy music...same lame messages...nothing transformative, no risks...I'm 37 and realize there has to be something deeper than this crap
He can seem like a “ IF” even a certain NO . But if you open your heart , and give Him a month of your surrender by faith ask Him to show you the truth, and listen to why other people believe, open your ears and ask God to help you see THE TRUTH , HIS INTENTIONS FOR HUMANITY , AND YOU. 🌏🙏🏼♥️💦💦💦⚓️♥️🔥GOD BLESS YOU BIG♥️💦♥️💦♥️💦🙏🏼🔥AMEN🙏🏼
Or; you keep speaking on behalf of a deity, claiming to grasp its thought process & opinions, and that you can interpret them correctly. All without even demonstrating if it exists or not. Religion as a whole will continue to be irrelevant just like it always has.
@@Jay-oj4hj and what proof is that? Don’t you think if the proof was good enough you would be convincing all of Saudi Arabia they’re worshipping the wrong prophet? Don’t you think the 100 of millions of Hindu’s in India would be converted also?

Hear me out here. Millennials and GenZ and all the younger ones. We don’t care to go to church simply because it’s so ridiculous that we all share the belief in Jesus Christ and just want to be a part of it, but the older generations have nothing but hate, contempt, negativity, rude and insensitive remarks, or just straight exclude you, as they talk behind your back. Young people are over the gossip hoity toity bs. Be real and honest with yourselves and each other. Spread the LOVE Jesus wants you to, especially in in the house of God, and I guarantee you’ll see people come back to it.
I don't really hate church as a gen a/z and a catholic but my family and I haven't go to church for a while and idk why but I want to go there again to pray for god
The only thing that will not only bring people to church but convert them is the gospel (new life in Christ (repentance), forgiveness of sins by faith in Christ alone). Saying how God will make their life better may bring them in but they will remain unconverted.
Why would I stop trying when God is in control, He will bring His elect to faith in Christ through the preaching of the word. Things have been worse for the church before and there is nothing too difficult for God.
@@harryotley5256 and yet, churches are getting more empty by the day, and no ammount of prayers is working. It is time for the institution of religion take a very hard look into itself, and go for a veritable deep debate of what its indeed its vocation, because carrying with the "sola fide" preaching is not working, dogma is not working, and emotional appeal is not working. Sorry for the blunt answer, but that is the sad state of affairs that religion is in right now - the institution of religion is in a deep "crisis of conscience", as I like to call, and even an atheist like me cannot stay quiet by the blindness that its followers have about this. I think that it is time for the religious to take a DEEP look inward, and have a BRUTALLY HONEST debate about what in the end religion stand for. And let me warn you: it is not gonna be pretty - you will walk into the most deep recesses of your soul, and be witness of yours and your congregation most shameful faults. Many will abandon the faith entirely, for the weight of their own guilt will make them perceive that they are not worthy of even being part of a congregation or being religious, or just by the sheer disgust of the errors and crimes commited by its so-called brothers and sisters. It will hurt, and badly. But, at the end of it, what will be left will be a more humble, realistic, and above all, HUMAN understanding of Jesus, for this "distancing" of the humanity of Jesus is what had led to the main problem faced today by Christianity.
We know what we believe, but do we know why we believe? Do we actually understand what we believe? Reasons I left the Evangelical church is because of college. I was a Theology student at a private Christian university. I took history of Christianity and realized that it wasn’t the Bible that made us Evangelical. It’s historical events and at the time charismatic leaders who started a new movement. Christians 2000 years ago would be lost in the Church because of how much has changed over time and the separations between theological differences or opinions. I think the Church was doomed from the beginning to fall apart the way it is in our post-modern society
Even in the past decades there were a lot of people who never went to church ⛪️ back in the 50s there were alot of people who were not religious, this is nothing new
Every generation is saddened and depressed. There was never a period of history where humans weren't, it's only being recorded more now. Gen Z is leaving the church because we can finally see the truth that if there was a "chosen people" or a "true church" there would be anything that differentiates them from the rest of the world. There isn't. We're all just people, none different from the other as far as emotional states are concerned. This proves God isn't real as He blesses nobody. Nobody has it better and no one ever did.
Even gen x doesn't goto church , last was the boomers born in 60s. It's because earlier church was the safest community gathering place for boomers now there are lot of gathering places . There are alot of namesake Christians like you who think church is only for social gathering and crowds
I would also like to add as a follower of Christ that’s struggling to find a church for many reasons !! that the lord knows but not many do .how could we show balanced not only in our lives as believers but within ourselves? What kind of balance of showing God love towards people more welcoming the way Jesus welcome people love people , seen people even if he knew they were sinners, not judge people or look at people less than but the way Jesus would look at them and still show them the love they never had question is how can we be more like Jesus and balance that within not only our lives our family close friend and people in the church but with non believers, stranger , different area etc How can we grow ,learn,heal our character with Jesus through Jesus? a lot of us are not lost because we don’t think God is real maybe of the lack of faith n belief he could truly do miracles n change us truly because either how people treated you who claimed there a follower of Christ how people in the church what people say what people do maybe the lack of understanding no one perfect the reason people go to church to get closer to the lord n grow in many ways through Christ and help people in the church I feel like also how do we view ourselves when we come in the church am I really going to church for the lord because I love him I wanna grow closer to you and be used by him in the church community etc grow closer with people in Christ etc that could also be a great question so many people need to do pray and check with God as well that attending church the true reason coming to church because I hear many story’s of people fleeing churches but still having a relationship with the lord but not going to church because of there experience or there just no longer believers because etc… but this is base on experience and things I personally see that not many people see that maybe could help the question we need to ask ourselves and give it to the lord and ask for help if the truth within ourselves so we could grow
Our preacher is awesome his sermon is awesome… Don’t really care for the production part of it though… With the band in pretty much every church now has a drum kit behind a plastic shield… We stay for the sermon and leave in the music starts
So you don’t connect with the music? Or the music specifically doesn’t help you worship God through its lyrics and by praising him like he expresses to be praised in the Psalms, with various instruments and our voices?
Y’all not Christian we are victims to this society. America has the spirit of Baal more than the Holy Spirit. there is a real pastor that preaches against the ills of creation. Apostle Gino Jennings
Preacher you’re beginning with this bass ackwards. If your message to anyone is “how does God make your life better?” Than you’ve lost the plot. You’re preaching a man centered message about what God does for us.
Hi ! All I know is , when you’re deep in Gods presence & his word (the Bible) You WILL feel different . filled with a peace that surpasses all understanding. “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free” as his word says. Yes we alll go through obstacles because if we didn’t , then we wouldnt NEED God. But we need him , because he created us. & without him we have voids that nothing in the world can fill , only he can. If youre ever willing to try , ask him from the bottom of your heart to reveal himself to you & he will . all love btw🫶🏼 just spreading a message !

Outstanding point. Extremely important
Y’all not Christian we are victims to this society. America has the spirit of Baal more than the Holy Spirit. there is a real pastor that preaches against the ills of creation. Apostle Gino Jennings
Preacher you’re beginning with this bass ackwards. If your message to anyone is “how does God make your life better?” Than you’ve lost the plot. You’re preaching a man centered message about what God does for us.
When he stops letting babies die and needing mega churches to appease his ego I'll listen
Hold onto your faith when push comes to shove i follow Jesus 💯
Based on what? The original gospel (Mark) before editing destroys Jesus' claim to Messiah and His "prophetic" area of birth. There's nothing left.
And what is that why?
His Reason:we don’t answer their questions
My reason: it’s 2 hours long and I can’t talk to my friends read a book or anything
You do need to go to church to belive in God Matthew 16:24 say it all...
That's not what it says.😢
Well if they dont see the change in you, why would they want to? You cant brag about a diet if you have no results. How is your life better?
I believe it’s because junctures don’t like taking advice from other youngsters I’m just saying… Write that down
Like you care
I’m a young Christian but don’t come to church because my parents are atheists.
I’m sorry to hear that Jake. Pray for your parents buddy. And love them like Jesus.

I am guilty of this, I will do better

So, are Christians statistically happier? I'm pretty sure that's not true!
Hi ! All I know is , when you’re deep in Gods presence & his word (the Bible)
You WILL feel different . filled with a peace that surpasses all understanding.
“You will know the truth and the truth will set you free” as his word says.
Yes we alll go through obstacles because if we didn’t , then we wouldnt NEED God. But we need him , because he created us. & without him we have voids that nothing in the world can fill , only he can.
If youre ever willing to try , ask him from the bottom of your heart to reveal himself to you & he will .
all love btw🫶🏼 just spreading a message !
@@jennyt.211 huh? That's not evidence ?!?
@@zackstone4800 evidence of what I’m sorry ? you were asking if Christian’s are happier. I just told you what I thought as a Christian.
@@jennyt.211 Do you know what Statisticly means? It's a fact, that Christians live in poverty and go to prison way more than atheists or agnostics. Your one comment is supposed to reflect billions of Christians? I take it you don't know what critical thinking is?
Hear me out here. Millennials and GenZ and all the younger ones. We don’t care to go to church simply because it’s so ridiculous that we all share the belief in Jesus Christ and just want to be a part of it, but the older generations have nothing but hate, contempt, negativity, rude and insensitive remarks, or just straight exclude you, as they talk behind your back. Young people are over the gossip hoity toity bs. Be real and honest with yourselves and each other. Spread the LOVE Jesus wants you to, especially in in the house of God, and I guarantee you’ll see people come back to it.
