  • The “He Gets Us” ad campaign is spending $100,000,000 to make Jesus the most popular brand in the world, including Super Bowl ads. Is this money well spent, or are they peddling a false Jesus? In this video, Todd Friel shares his perspective on the matter as a Bible-believing Christian.

      Just to add on that,
      BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT GOD HATES ALL ARTIFICAL CONSTRACEPTIVES LIKE PILLS, CONDOMS ETC.
      Not only is it sinful for people to use artificial contraceptives,
      Jesus Christ (through revelation and visions)
      says some of them cause
      ABORTION , EVEN CARDIAC ARREST/FAINTING/HEART PROBLEMS IN WOMEN.
      Many of the diseases of the womb, birth canal, like cancer, fibrosis, stomach cancer, etc that women suffer today, its because of the ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTIVES AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD (esp fast foods) that people ingest.
      Some dead Christian are in hell ....died of cardiac arrest because of these artificial contraceptives.
      Most of them cause alot of complications (like diseases) and abortion in women unknown to them.
      SOLUTION
      1) Use prayer ,,,,asking God to close the womb if you dont want more children. God is the one who used to open and close the womb of Rachael, Hannah, Elizabeth , Rebecca, Sarah.
      God still does that today.
      Artificial contraceptives including condoms, vasectomy, ligation, are all sinful.
      God hates them.
      Some dead Christians are in hell fire because of these artificial contraceptives.
      Avoid them at all cost.
      2) If you have less faith (which is not good), then use the Rhythm method.
      Let the woman observe her monthly flow...mark the days on the calendar and avoid meeting those times she is likely to get pregnant.
      It is a natural method and God accepts it.
      NOTE: DO NOT USE THE WITHDRAWAL METHOD LIKE ONAN IN THE BIBLE.
      GOD HATES THAT.
      Withdrawal method is similar to masturbation. God these things.
      MORE THINGS TO AVOID ALSO
      (For the married...for the single stay away from fornication and cohabitation)
      1) Avoid oral sex, ungodly sex styles like doggie, woman on top of a man, etc.
      Only the missionary style (a man on top of a woman is accepted before God)
      2) Avoid the use of sex toys or objects in your marriage bed.
      3) Avoid sexy clothes like thongs, lingerie's, bikinis, batman suit, spiderman suit, catwoman suit which arouse lust.

      One simply can’t reach the realization of godly sorrow without understanding God’s fully righteous wrath.

      - Jonathan Edwards

      @@dongyaolin655 Greatly appreciate your well considered, dead on the mark reply. All things, down to the last blade of grass, exist and fall under the dominion of our God's sovrereign authority. For many, many years a very large percentage of American Christians have carried the false notion that the historic greatness our nation was inextricably essential to God's eternal plan. Aiways a foolish and misguided belief. We now live in a grotesquely degraded and rebellious society. We are now witnessing in real time a "leadership class" that has been given up to it's depravity. An extremely bitter harvest seems likely if not certain. Apart from God's amazing grace, we and the nations, great and small, are nothing more than dust in the wind.

    The best description I have to the He Gets Us is a bait and switch. They make Jesus look cool, trendy, and "love is love" is the hallmark trait they emphasize. What will happen is this: a handful of people MIGHT be drawn in by this shallow, half-truth presentation, but when they encounter concepts like the depravity of mankind, the fallen and sinful nature of all humanity, the divinity and exclusivity of Jesus above all other false god(s) and religions, and the fact that being a Christian means you will be despise, persecuted, and rejected by the world, they will quickly lose interest and fall away.
    .
    To borrow from the parable Jesus told: HGU is basically sowing the seed along the rocky soil and among the thorns: yes, some may receive it for a short time, but when the full message of what it means to "take up your cross and follow me" and "if you love me, you will keep my commandments", and the trials and tests of life come, they will wither and be choked off.

      One excellent way to discern is to ask WHO IS JESUS?

It started showing up in the 90's when I was a young-in-faith Christian. I was bothered by it but so un-sure. It really did sound right and I struggled to discern. There was harsh criticism then, which was strong, Biblically, and I wrestled in my mind trying to reconcile the two. Many more years down the road, the Spirit grew within me and I began to see more clearly. The Scripture says to "test the spirits".

      Just to add on that,
      BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT GOD HATES ALL ARTIFICAL CONSTRACEPTIVES LIKE PILLS, CONDOMS ETC.
      Not only is it sinful for people to use artificial contraceptives,
      Jesus Christ (through revelation and visions)
      says some of them cause
      ABORTION , EVEN CARDIAC ARREST/FAINTING/HEART PROBLEMS IN WOMEN.
      Many of the diseases of the womb, birth canal, like cancer, fibrosis, stomach cancer, etc that women suffer today, its because of the ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTIVES AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD (esp fast foods) that people ingest.
      Some dead Christian are in hell ....died of cardiac arrest because of these artificial contraceptives.
      Most of them cause alot of complications (like diseases) and abortion in women unknown to them.
      SOLUTION
      1) Use prayer ,,,,asking God to close the womb if you dont want more children. God is the one who used to open and close the womb of Rachael, Hannah, Elizabeth , Rebecca, Sarah.
      God still does that today.
      Artificial contraceptives including condoms, vasectomy, ligation, are all sinful.
      God hates them.
      Some dead Christians are in hell fire because of these artificial contraceptives.
      Avoid them at all cost.
      2) If you have less faith (which is not good), then use the Rhythm method.
      Let the woman observe her monthly flow...mark the days on the calendar and avoid meeting those times she is likely to get pregnant.
      It is a natural method and God accepts it.
      NOTE: DO NOT USE THE WITHDRAWAL METHOD LIKE ONAN IN THE BIBLE.
      GOD HATES THAT.
      Withdrawal method is similar to masturbation. God these things.
      MORE THINGS TO AVOID ALSO
      (For the married...for the single stay away from fornication and cohabitation)
      1) Avoid oral sex, ungodly sex styles like doggie, woman on top of a man, etc.
      Only the missionary style (a man on top of a woman is accepted before God)
      2) Avoid the use of sex toys or objects in your marriage bed.
      3) Avoid sexy clothes like thongs, lingerie's, bikinis, batman suit, spiderman suit, catwoman suit which arouse lust.

The method that Sarah Young used, the idea of which came from the New Age book "God Calling", is unbiblical. Written in the first person, as if Jesus did speak those words. But He didn't. Therefore the books can be rejected on that basis alone. Justin Peters gives a very good explanation of why we should stay away from those books in his seminar series called Clouds Without Water. That is just one of many Christian resources on this. I've benefited greatly from them.

      ​​​@@karenkitchen8572Agreed! A friend gave me that book a couple of years ago and I set it aside. Recently, I saw Justin Peters' video on it so I pulled it out and took a look and sure enough it didn't take long to see that that book is totally un- Biblical. So without a second thought I tossed it into the trash.

      ​@@username00009Hi - IMHO you should share that with your friend because as a Christian you do have a responsibility to convey such to a fellow believer. Then she can make her own decision to research further if she cares to. If she doesn't then you've still done your part - and obeyed God's command.

    Essentially, it's about promoting a Jesus without the Gospel.

    What do this Buddy Christ, New Age, Mother Earth, and ‘spiritual’ worldviews share? They make no moral demands upon anyone.
    Judaism and the Gospel present moral laws from a divine authority.
    Great clarity, Todd!!

    No gospel message in these ads. Nothing about the cross or resurrection

    Thank you for exposing the real motives of this campaign. This is a nice example of how to do research before supporting things done in Jesus' name.

    A gospel without repentance, a gospel without holiness, a gospel without truth, a gospel without submission, and a gospel without transformation is the devil’s lie to give false assurance to condemned people.

    I have been wondering what the catch was with the ad. Just seems like something was up. In an attempt to make Jesus relatable, they forgot the side of Jesus that is offensive to our sinful nature. Jesus isn't a teddy bear that presents a message that is soothing to the ears. He provokes change and convicts unrepentant hearts.

    This might be cynical but if it's allowed to advertise on major networks and garner all this attention you know it's not the gospel. If they were truly based and Bible believing it would never gain this much traction.

    Please do a video on “A Game For Good Christians” they have the same exact social justice bent and have banned me from commenting on their Facebook lol.
    Also, I would like to thank you for creating these videos to help Christian’s navigate the minefield that is Subversive “Christian” content.

    It is just a tactic to desensitize people to The Gospel. What better way to face damnation then to think you are saved. I know God is sovereign and He is in complete control, but we should pray for all those who think they are saved by calling on a Jesus not the Jesus of The Bible.

    I’m glad I agree with you in regards to this ad campaign. Sometimes I wonder why I miss some of the lessons my favorite people on CZcams give out. I realize that there is something wrong with the people that they are rightly judging by the standard of God’s Word, but I don’t hear what the Spirit is saying until I have the lesson served to me as if I am still a bottle-fed Christian baby when I, in reality, have walked with my Saviour for 55 years.
    Oh well, I need to leave my pity party and get back on my way to Emmaus. Prayer and reading the Word have always helped me to see the lessons the Lord has for me “today while it is still called today”. I need to quit comparing myself with you guys that are sharing God’s truths so adequately with me and focus on Jesus. (Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, (2 Corinthians 3:5, NASB))
    Thanks for listening to me ramble along. I love a good think tank session.
