Hillsong Pastor Carl Lentz Wears Supreme And Is Friends With Justin Bieber

- Organized religion is at an all-time low worldwide. Congregations are hemorrhaging parishioners with confidence in the Church flagging in the U.S. at unprecedented rates. Yet you wouldn’t know that by looking at Hillsong U.S.A. The American outpost of an Australian Pentecostal megachurch founded by Brian and Bobbi Houston in the ’80s, Hillsong’s New York flagship is shepherded by the charismatic Carl Lentz.
Known colloquially as Justin Bieber’s spiritual advisor, Lentz draws upwards of 8,000 New Yorkers to his Sunday night service held at Hammerstein Ballroom. Deploying an infectious format of short sermons and lots of dynamic, ear-wormy music, Lentz’s message may be the same as your regular fire-and-brimstone bible thumper but his social media clout makes his message infinitely more seductive. His relevancy amongst youth has gone as far as to grant him meetings with Oprah and the White House.

dumb interview by VICE.
Carl Lentz is a man of GOD.
Hilgy carl lentz is a man of money cons his followers...definitely not a man of god if he followed in jesus foot steps he wouldnt be portraying himself like he does....theres a reason jesus wore a robe,rode on a donkey,washed peoples feet. Instead of being in gold and wearing expensive name brand cloths ..from the money he gets from his followers he could actually be helping people but he's more concerned with merchandise and making a platinum band....these same people would of followed jim jones and drank the kool aide

You can tell the interviewer was sus bout him the whole time lol
If a Christian in my generation needs to learn anything right now, it's humility. Please pray for my generation--full of vanity & confusion. Carl Lentz, be a leader & drop your ego. Please.
It takes courage to say what you just said! God bless you 🙏
Have any of you actually been to a service or listened to one of his sermons?
His ego and coolness are what have propelled him to e their spokesman. That church believes and practices some very questionable and satanic-driven ideals (lying on graves to raise the dead, prosperity preaching, etc)
@@oliviabattle404 yes. He is vain. Materialistic. Sincere yes but very very imperfect. Not pastor material.
@@oliviabattle404 hes a prosperity teacher, a wolf in sheep clothing.
Came here after it was announced he was fired for cheating on his wife.
Wolves in sheep's clothing

@@a.f6435 Yeah that's true she did keep dating him even after he said he was married.
@@branholo5814 Honestly everyone is in the wrong, it’s now pretty much up to the wife and I hope she leaves his ass.
Same. Disappointed. People are so against Christianity now and I'm far from saintly. Just saying makes followers look like hypocrites and he got caught it ain't like he came out and confessed. Need more great modeks.
You can't serve two masters.
@Tee Jay yes OUR enemies. This heretic wolf in sheep's clothing is an enemy of our Lord Jesus Christ not mine so........
@Tee JayI know those verses in Scripture. re read comment above.
@Tee Jay ok
My Nan always says this x
@Tee Jay Jesus says human enemies not their sin and most definitely not THE enemy, Satan.
We can forgive and still show compassion/mercy to our enemies or sinners, but that doesn't mean we should allow them to have power and influence over us. Both are sins, not loving and showing compassion to sinners AND putting up sinners to guide the sheep.
She should have asked "does doing shots with Justin bring you closer or further away from Jesus"
Completely get where your coming from cause of the company he is keeping but remember drinking in itself is not a sin, its being a drunker and drinking until your in a drunken stooper is what the bible says is wicked
I didn't see shot glass that was a phone in his hand
@@enigma2297 this is very true.. although youre usually doing shots to get drunk.. but I only saw a video of him doing it once. Its a still a question id be curious what he would answer with
@@timothymarchant dude...drinking is okay, if your doing it to get drunk it isn't
Some churches said wine is ok some others said isn’t but the true is in US culture its not well seen for a a Christian to drink because that has made a lot of others to fall so I don’t drink because I can’t I just do it because the souls of my brothers and sisters and the new to come
I don't know how nobody saw this guy as a giant walking red-flag
A lot of people did. He was only ever really popular with people who wanted a form of Christianity that moulded around them instead of them moulding around the bible. Churches like Hillsong or Bethel are not accepted by most Christians because of the amount of terrible things that have been released about them, and their general idea of a fluffy god. With Christians there are those who go way too legalistic and there are those like this guy who are all about having a great time. As with almost all things the truth is in the middle
Many of us seen it from the beginning. The church doesn't bother cos he is part of the package. The whole gang is making a mockery of the church deliberately.
Totally, can see right thought him
@@maytalmurray7556 within the church if this is the kind of people they want in their leadership, then definitely they wont recognise their own bad decisions n on the contrary they may feel he is god sent especially looking at the crowd he's able to pull in.
I sure did
When he says, I dress like you. Does he think we all wear supreme? And Gucci? Who is he talking to?
He is a phony he doing it for money
@@Mr.grubby right on, just look at the dollar sign on his shirt!...

And now look at him. God warned us of false teachers.
Just cause he fucked up doesn’t mean he’s a false prophet. He was never a prophet to begin with 🥴
False prophet false teacher whatever they want view him as and your right he never was to begin with.
What did he do?
@@nicinat0r Fired for infidelity.
@Tanaka Makondesa Were King David and Abraham not corrected and humbled by God? Didn't they have consequences? And when were they appointed as pastors or shepherds to God's people? That's what makes this more serious.
The reporter is a straight shooter. I love how she gets right to the heart of the matter and doesn't let him squirm out of answering her questions.
"I dress like you"
"You wear Rick Owens"
I googled Rick Owens and a pair of jeans costs $980 😂😂😂
wtf r u talking abt, he just answered the question and there was no follow ups
Kind of seemed like he wanted to himself. "yeah yknow i was in the room with a lot of big important people yknow, just on the sly, white house stuff."
She asked terrible questions tho. Marriage equality? No religion supports gay sex fetishes. Obviously.
Just wish these reporters would ask the same hard hitting questions to people like Biden too
even without the scandal, the fact that he's friends with hollywood A-listers, the way he dresses, etc should be MAJOR red flags
to you
hes stylish. Yall want your pastors to wear Khakis or some shiet

@@GetUnwoke lets say he did? so. It's not immoral to be attractive is it? name me a verse? because you're coming across as being puritanical for the sake of being puritanical
It's so weird even before his scandal came out,I was never a fan of him. He gives out a very narcistic vibe and has no ounce of humility. Which is a really important virtue we as Christins must strive to be.
My old youth pastor was like this and I promise you the energy that comes from them isn’t a nice one even to me a non christian
@@bean5976 Souls, know it,
we are no longer baptize by water, WE ARE BAPTIZED BY HOLY SPIRIT.
Acts Chapter 10
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Acts 1:5 KJV
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Acts 11:16 KJV
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Galatians 3:27 - For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Acts 22:16 - And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 14:26 KJV
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 KJV
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
What sins babies committed that they need baptized?
the reason, adults think, "baby baptized" saved them?

These "megachurch pastors" are actually businessmen/entrepreneurs 💯💯
And this is coming from a girl who was forced into one of the biggest churches in Washington state for 10 years. I also traveled around the U.S. to attend the most popular church conferences and missionary trips. THESE PASTORS, THEIR WIVES, AND THEIR TEAMS ARE CORRUPT. Stop giving them your time/trust/money.
Shem Obviously it's great to be an entrepreneur and give motivational speeches. The problem is, that isn't true Christianity. It's just a motivational speech! They are basically like a Tony Robbins with a scripture sprinkled here and there.
All major world religion are ran by "businessmen/entrepreneurs", they gain profit from the faith of their followers and tax free at that.
Supreme might be an expensive brand but it costs nothing compared to priceless paintings, golden idols and marble architecture.
Since the dawn of organized Religion within a civilized tribe or village.
Aanika Beth Anderson Oh and you know what true Christianity is?
Let me guess, out of the 32'000 registered denominations you happen to know the "correct" one?
Would you care to explain to us how you know you have the correct one. Is it by testable, repeatable, falsifiable means or "feels".
To be a real christian you only need to say murdering an innocent person is a valid way to forgive, thats the core. Vicarious redemption and its immoral, twisted and demonstrably wrong.
Imagine if Jesus said “I’m a hustler of the culture.” 🤣 cmon Carl. You’re a joker

@@benlee5039 this false teacher and heretic just got busted for adultery.

@@uncleiroh4650 yeah really hustled people by telling them to repent and believe 🤔
“We’re not here to make a performance or a show” yet there’s strobes all over the place
What are you suggesting @Luis Lopez? so, the fact that there're lights and music it makes of a service a show? so, let's say someone close to you get's married and they hire some sound equipment and lights for their wedding. Would the light and sound equipment make of that wedding a show? Lights and sound equipment are used for diverse purposes, friend, and as they are used for shows, they are not exclusively used for that.
I don't think it makes of a wedding or this kind of services a show at all. I've worked in the Industry of Entertainment and believe me, lights have the purpose to create a visual atmosphere and draw people's attention and focus to the front. Now, you may worship in a very different way, without lights, without too much noise, perhaps, and that's fine. There're others that preffer a visual atmosphere to do so, and that's fine too. Different is not wrong, just different.
Simply said, if an outsider was looking into the mass without context, they would’ve thought it was a concert. All I saw is a show and that’s that. Pretty sure there are far better choices of lighting to make up a spiritual atmosphere.
@@jaker.campillo1667 But Church is different. We are the show, and God is the audience. By adding lights that focus on the band, it takes away from God's glory. Its not the band we are focusing on, but God.
@@benlee5039 There are not specifications in the Bible (New Testament) about what items should we use or not on a Sunday service, your reference I'm assuming is based on tradition or your own experience (what you have observed in your own cotext). There's no show going on at all, and there's no too much difference between Hillsong and other Christian churches when it comes to the worship session, besides the lighting and equipment. Hillsong just really likes to put excellence on the picture, something professional because as you said, it is for God and God deserves our best, doesn't He? Must evangelical churches have musical instruments and people on stage performing, and the audience look at them too, because these people on stage are leading the audience to worship Jesus. If you are a Christian and your church has a band standing and performing on a stage, the same argument you said applies too, "They are getting the attention of people instead of focusing on God" or "the band are taking the glory from people instead of letting people glorify God". If was to say that, I'd be ignoring that must likely people are actually following the worship leaders in that Church to ultimately adore, glorify and exalt God. I think a lot of people have a problem with the fact that some churches use lighting because they are used for non Christian shows too, well, guess what, they use instruments, microphones and sound system for concerts and non Christian events too as they use then in many Christian Churches, what's the problem with that? at the end of the day they are tools, aren't they?
@CLOUT Well, I wasn't defending his behaviour for that specific matter but for "hanging out with unbelievers". Now, what I can't defend is people (or brands) for how careless they express themselves for others when Jesus said "Love your neighbour as you love yourself" (doesn't matter what religion, different belief system or preference they got, even if in our eyes they are wrong). But, I wish nothing but good for you. Blessings.

@@zayapouriamei2656 Not a good idea. Being friendly and cordial with someone, treating them with respect and dignity is different from being friends with them...

Jesus was friends with only those who already aligned their lives in harmony with God's will and not before that.
LOL he wanted to get a reality tv show deal or something after the scandal broke loose because he thought he was famous enough at that point to make money in Hollywood rather than be a pastor.
if you believe this is a true christian, you are REALLY lost, seek God
Amen
He may not follow the conservative rules of the church, but he makes other people happy and gives them a purpose in life and makes them believe in God, but he just does it in a another way than the usual priest
vilili nah Carl can’t preach the Word correctly to save his life. A true false teacher through and through
@@JayyVee41 he may not preach the exact word as in the Bible, but at least he spreads love and peace and wisdom. That is what God wants. Not everything should be about God. God said to spread love, this is what this man is doing which is good right?
vilili Um no, pastors actually need to preach the entire Word of God correctly. Love at the expense of truth is not love. Please tell me you’re joking
Apart for giving powerful messages and speeches , He seems to have spent most of his time kindling relationships with the rich influential celebrities rather than going around helping the poor, the sick, the homeless, the broken. Really, Humbleness is the basic criteria for any person to do good and be good.
What powerful message 🤣🤣
yes .True.
You can tell by the fruits they bear. Delivering power messages n speeches shouldn't be use as a yard stick to measure whether a speaker is a born again Christian who's life has been transformed by Christ bcos you can hire a very good speaker from the business world n mould him into another "powerful Christian speaker" n he will definitely deliver the results. So be careful of judging men based on outward appearance n attractions cos that is how we often fell for those scams. I know of a humble ex pastor who still go to the market with a sigh "free prayers" to pray with those in need. Its a humble sight to see him doing that which Im sure many rich pastor will not do, cos it looks "funny sitting there with a sigh" , people may laugh at you, etc. Such humble christian I respect alot. It shows his genuine love for the Lord. He dont need the big stage, bright lights, beautiful punchy music to do Gods ministry.
Not fair. He spends a lot of his time on adultery.
Messages need not be powerful if its God's Messages. He can speak in a still small voice. Not always those brimstone and fire messages. That is why some Christians are weak bcos they go around seeking powerful Messages, dynamic preachers, colourful characters speakers, dynamic solid musics, lights n sounds, big congregations, nice outward appearance n says that those humble small pew churches are dead n outdated! Satan always knows what tickles our ears!

When you preach feel good msg with no substance like Carl lentz you will pack the church.
What do you mean
Jackie B it’s easy to pack a church when you preach a feel good msg. Let’s see how packed his “church” is when he takes a stand against abortion, gay lifestyle, & sin... who cares how the guy dresses. I’m more concerned abt the substance of his msg. Jesus spoke more abt sin & hell than abt heaven or one’s purpose in life. Car lentz is a typical feel good preacher. He’s just repackaged in designer jeans.
Vaughn Wilson amen. Yeah Carl has never preached on sin, repentance, self-denial, Hell, etc. Not to be a killjoy, but those are big parts of the Gospel message. When a preacher just preaches a Jesus that is only love, they’ve made an idol out Him. And yeah, I don’t care what he wears etc....but really that could be the problem too. His physical problem (the expensive clothes) could actually be his spiritual problem. Pastors like this want the world and they want Heaven. He wants all the nice things and he wants Jesus. Can’t have both

Don't let these emotion based church people stop you from finding Jesus yourself.
istayup what does it even mean to be "emotion based"
thisnotjesus alot of their belief is based on emotions and their feelings and what they think is true or not offensive. But not off the scriptures. Alot of what they teach is based off prosperity, better life now and riches. Alot of time when they come across a scripture that they find offensive, they try and contradict it.
istayup If you can find him it means he is alive. If he is alive then there was no sacrifice.
istayup so basically you just mean don't trust those who preach prosperity gospel
istayup exactly! These churches try way to hard to cater to the youth , when the youth should be trying to cater to the church. You rite, I went to a church like this and they preach nothing but feel good stories, no seriously praying or anything, just straight up motivational speech.
Please, don't base your impression of Christianity on men alone, read the bible yourself and look to Jesus.

Letting gay people in your church isn't such a good impression
The fact that these "Megachurches" even exist in the U.S. is just insane. In Europe churches are small old buildings that feel kind of special when you enter. Why do you have to make it a huge business with churches looking like stadiums. And people really go inside there to "praise god" ? Lmao.
ummmm, St. Peter's Basilica, Milan Cathedral, Seville Cathedral, Abbey of Santa Giustina, Liverpool Cathedral, Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar, Florence Cathedral, Ulm Minster. There is only one American church that rivals any of these in terms of size. Big religious stuff like this has been in the United States since the 19th century, it's not all that new.
Blueveteran342 he have concert in Europe too, so?
Most churches in the Us are small. The megachurches just get more coverage. Although most churches in the U.S are not that old. This is especially true as you west because large scale settlement by Christians happened later in the western areas. The more west you go, the less old building and historical sites. (this is of course a generalization.. The US is really big in terms of population and geography)
Blueveteran342 In Mexico catholic churches are big (not mega churches like in the USA), and some are fancy and have luxury thinks and are located in poor communities.

thats your perspective
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Matthew 7:1-5...
There's adifference between loving the world and living in it.
By the world , he means worldly culture. You’re not supposed to take on worldly culture. Meaning be modest and be a good example for others and not take examples from others. There’s been a big blurred line between secular concerts and Christian sermons. We are supposed to seek treasure in heaven, not on earth
I never judged anyone, if citing a bible verse makes you feel like I’m judging you, then blame the authors of the Bible . You can’t cite that verse every time you hear something you don’t like. You re supposed to help save fallen people when you see them fall, otherwise you are not doing Gods work. We’re supposed to be a light upon the world, be the salt of the earth , and not change our beliefs with what current society thinks is ok
So wearing a certain Tshirt is "being of the world"... you literally are judging a book by its cover... you realize that right? You are beyond help.
i’m always so wary of pastors who try to fit into our world by buying into celebrity culture and living like the world and this is why.
Celebrity’s are horrible people as it is so that’s a big red flag for me
Christ and the first Christians are the role-models we should follow!
The Bible says we are to be apart from the world . Not to fit in
Would you rather have no celebrities promoting christianity?

A friend of the world is not a friend of God
Billy Buckingham Preach, brother
It depends on how you define the world... and what the world is in reference to. I myself won't claim to know exactly how to define the world in a biblical context, but I know it's written in John 3:16 that God loved the world (For God so loved the world) so I'd like to hear someone's take on that compared to other verses that call us to reject the world. Can God love something, and at the same time tell us to hate it? Obviously not, so maybe it is a more complicated subject
That is a very good point. Im saying whoever stands for Christ is gonna get some heat from unbelievers. Jesus was crucified by the world
Billy Buckingham Yeah I agree. Since Jesus is the light and the world is in darkness
U can’t serve two Gods. U can’t be friends of the world especially Hollywood.

🤣😂😂her face says it all then it abruptly ends
She needs to get over herself
She looked like a deer in headlights the whole interview.
VICE it’s called a worship service, not a karaoke night 😂😂
lol that bit made me laugh
Lol
just another con man hustling the people
randy rysdale right you are!
Ain't nothing to see here keep walking
Yep.
randy rysdale would guy say that about the muslims?
Sad you see it that way. He’s a God-fearing man, who’s spreading love!
😂😂 the ending was hilarious..the side eye...I can't stop laughing
WWJW...What Would Jesus Wear
He'd pick by most efficient sweatshop of course.
well, that's the most important question out there, isn't it?

guy looks like a con artist. bad vibes
Got those Vibes
I picked up on those same vibes.
All pastors/vicars are con artists
Probably became a pastor for the tax exemption
True
NOT A CHANCE THAT THIS FOOL CAN DECEIVE ME.
Just because Hillsong has high power "spiritual" music and they throw around the name of Jesus, doesn't mean it has ANYTHING to do with God!
More sheep than a sheep
"Sheep Squad"
i see what you did there
"Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. More human than human is our motto. Rachael is an experiment, nothing more. We began to recognise in them a strange obsession. After all they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them a past, we'd create a cushion, a pillow for their emotions and consequently we can control them better."
- Dr Eldon Tyrell
"Commerce is our goal here at Church. More Sheep than Sheep is our motto. Jesus is an experiment, nothing more. We began to recognise in them a strange Christian obsession. After all they are educationally inexperienced, with only a few religions in which to completely fabricate the existentialism which you and I take for granted. If we gift them a Savior, we'd create a cushion, a pillow for their need to believe and consequently we can control them better."

You could call him a 'hypepriest'.
If this was any other religion your comment would be non existent
I really despise megachurches
why?
What's wrong with that?
Yeah they’re out of control and too open nowadays. I don’t think they’re Pentecostal anymore it’s like a new age church. They all start out fine but end up being controlled by the world and letting worldly people influence their decision ; rather than the people conforming to the church and the Bible, the church conforms to the people just to keep numbers high. Too many leaders and people can get away with anything in the church. It seems all lukewarm and there’s no real connection with your pastor if you’re just a number. It is sad and these churches are the ones Paul spoke about.
Anti church people LOVE church when it’s small, quiet and not relevant. But as soon as it starts to have an actual positive impact on the world, “These megachurches are just in it for the money” People need to make up their minds 😂
SlimTheGreatTV they are a special kind of sin aren’t they. They are hubs for extreme greed, corruption, most of the time is a little bit of Secret depravity thrown in and copious amounts of my fav *Euro Jesus*
Oh the rancidity

DesignbyChesa why 🤔 someone explain
Don't really like how this interview was carried out...
Same. I am just sick and tired of the media's approach to everything. Always looking for conspiracy, looking for hypocrisy, looking for controversy, looking to trip you up. I am sick and tired of it.
Agreed.
the world can tell the hypocrasy and heretic wolf in sheep clothing more than professing christians nowadays!
i am christian and believe in vice than the fake pastors.
playsbba018 you’re exactly and totally right! That’s why people like Carl has hesitancy in doing interviews like this. They’re trying to get at something. If you notice a lot of popular artists evade the media storm by and large. They only do interviews or documentary through their outlets like OVO or production companies. They’re almost always trying to put their spin on things to get out a negative or twisted view of somebody.
This man is banking off of these sheep.
IraqUpBeaches edgy as a butter knife

Blood Sweat & Brews God changes lives not this false teacher
yup
Tom Hertz pastors preach the word of God. Am I wrong?
SMH if any pastor or priest dont minister about HELL and saving souls that church dont get applauds from me
Have you ever listened to any of his sermons online? The answer is no, you haven't.
Bible warned us. Vice gave us a preview. Now, we have the full story. No more churches for me. If God cannot accept me where I am, I never belonged.
People need to realize that God does not call some people to Ministry some people call themselves .
Word right there!🙌🙌
Seems like they edited this with a fairly strong bias, pretty weak journalism Vice
Jordan Gibson nah you’re just a gullible blind sheep
@@treepeenbawlz1934 you are too; "Thou who cloaks themselves in the cloth of another shall question their own": no bible verse, just sounds old and mystic. In other words, you're a wolf in sheeps skin. you pass yourself off as someone who is not like the others, when in reality, you've conformed to a set of false values just as much as your counterparts.
Matt Irwin all that bs you just said resembles the type of message Hillsong has been trying to convey
I agree.
@@treepeenbawlz1934 Look for his transvestigation on tricksofthestrade. Worth seeing it.
Dude’s built like a half bent electric fan remote.
What...
I won’t pretend to know what the hell that means, but neither will I act like I didn’t laugh
xD
I'm confused by this..I even googled it with no luck. STILL FUNNY THOUGH.
I kinda see it
The reporters’ attempts to vilify this guy really bother me
Proteus They shouldn’t. The man is an opportunistic buffoon.
That's the way that any curious person would talk to him on both the Christian and Atheist side.
The reporter was spot on… read the news on this guy
This did not age well
💀
Remember this comment next time you think you’re a good judge of character.
I just rolled my eyes so hard I got a cramp! Lentz saying that they're "not here to put on religious performance" is possibly the most ironic thing I've ever heard.
pastors are the best scammers alive
No, Donald Trump is.
The problem isn't religion, it's morality. People that believe in the Church of Government have murdered and starved hundreds of millions of people in the name of 'progress'. Mao? Stalin? Ring a bell? The people behind the the message can warp and skew, so, instead of being against people and their belief system, support it, and just ignore the insane people, atheist, or religious.
KatieRouge the blind believe the blind eh
So is this like mental disorder?
john mangele no that would be LGBT
Yeah it's called *promoting subpar products at high dollar by implementing ''native advertising'' which creates hype for ''veblen goods'' .. pretty easy to get dumb poor people to buy things like Apple and Supreme every year, just say its rare and put the price high, a group of societies most sheepish people will constantly keep buying it to appear as if they are cool and trendy like the ads by the famous people who promote these type of products*
No. That would be gender dysphoria...
Actually buying "Supreme" is a mental disorder.
WOLF dress in sheep's clothing to deceive his flock!
If you are interested there'sa very good channel called tricksofthestrade that did an transvestigation based on anatomy on this pastor and another famous one (I cannot recall his name). Worth watching. Let me know what you think if you see it.
1:37 he says to worship until told to stop... that's not true worship. true worship is like Jesus said, John :23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.,,,, WHICH IS TO SAY, TRUE worshippers will WORSHIP in SPIRIT, meaning, LIVING A LIFE FOR JESUS. strive, STRIVE to live for Jesus.
He said Worship Until God tells you to stop. So if God didn't tell you to Stop Don't stop
This comment was posted stop your commenth
Isn’t going to church supposed to be praying/remembering god rather than a music concert.
mz204455 the Bible teaches us that when we die and if we ascend to Heaven then we will spend most, if not all, of our time worshipping God. Especially through song and probably dance. Church is what you make of it. There's so many to choose from. Find one that allows you to leave feeling like you got to worship God, learn about the truth of Jesus' love and sacrifices, and have more knowledge about the truth of the Bible. There's no one true way church should be. It's not going to be perfect and you'll get as much out of it as you're willing to put in to it (effort, attention, community involvement, volunteering, donating time and money and personal resources, etc.). I'll pray you can find an awesome church. 😊
Have a good one.
captain murph worship is not having a dance. We have forgotten the presence of God found through solemnity. Not all worship is what God wants, as is in Hebrews (can't remember where exactly) - but I believe focusing on what He brings us through His word. When does this man mention the resurrection from the dead, the death of Christ, or man's total depravity?
He knows his own heresy, but the money is there, so that's where he'll stay.
uk the more worship u get, the more hype and convicted u feel when the sermon starts. its from experience, trust me :)
So you cant pray/remember God with a music concert, you need to remember Him in a boring way? Why? Is God alive or dead? Did Jesus save us or not? Should we celebrate or mourn?
mz204455 Not "remembering" God, for He IS, but worshipping and fellowship with God.
Why the long pause at the end???...why?? lol
Andrew Debasque
Because she asked him, "What administration?" And he replied "This one." Obviously, referring to Trump. And Vice (and I'm assuming the reporter) is a Trump hater.
cuz she's TRIGGERED lmfao
Because she’s in total shock that someone like him would meet with such an “evil” person like Donald Trump.
vice refuse christianity, they want u fall by added political questions

I am always suspicious of churches and religious leaders who are so comfortable with the status quo , to the point , where they don’t speak about social dimension of the gospel. The “always feel good” churches, the materialistic, and self-centeredness of the many pastors around us kills the prophetic and salvific mission of the word of God - it is obscured because Christ was never the center of conversation. It’s all about “ME” me me me me …
Her face was epic at the very end!!! 🤣
this seems questionable, but Oceans is the jam tho

Glad to see he didn’t budge on the marriage issue though, actually kinda surprised.
Dalton Heitmann same I was expecting him to dodge the question
@@elijahangeles6015 same! But glad that is one thing he stands for that's right!
He kinda did though.
He said his opinion is secondary to what Hillsong believes the Bible says.
What does that mean? Sounds like he thinks sodomy and fornication are ok but he has to hold up the views of the corporation “Hillsong” in order to keep his job.
Listen carefully how he crafts his responses.
He did ... " the super left thinks were not loud enough in our affrimation" he just affirmed his acceptance on homosexual marriage...
He doesn’t have regular stuff on I don’t wear muscle T-shirts and timberlands when I represent my family or my God. Call it legalism but we should have a high respect for what God has given us. We are managers of a higher calling
No offence, but I wouldn't take advice on how to lead my life from someone wearing skinny jeans & a truckers cap. Maybe just me tho
Adam Smith but what if the Lord has came inside him and is now using him to preach that book he's been trying to sell
Adam Smith but you see why would take advice from from someone who wears priest clothes? Js
his appearance on the View was enough for to conclude he caters to masses. No integrity.
Paul catered his message to who he was speaking to. We are all called to cater our message to whoever we are speaking with in order to show them who Jesus is
Brett Byer is there a part of the bible you're referencing? If so which one?
Brett Byer actually, I think I get what you're saying but is 'cater' the right word? It has specific connotations
yes, paul became all things for all people. Cater means to try and satisfy. Pauls message would not have been effective if nobody listened to it. How did he get people to listen to it? He catered his message to satisfy those who were hearing it.

The good old megachurch.... Bringing in MILLIONS of dollars a year, all in the name of the good Lord.
Yes... Also spending MILLIONS on mission trips and planting churches.
Dylan Guidry Dont forget tge pastor and his crownies buying BENTLEYS and audi r8s...
If a pastor makes a lot of money then who cares?
They don't get most of their income from the church. they get them from selling books.
I swear, a pastor can never be poor enough.
Dylan Guidry i had no i idea you were they're financial accountant. I guess your right.
Coming from the same person who said that these pastors own Bentleys and Audis :D Which they don't.
I literally follow Pastor Carl Lentz and Judah Smith very closely.
Relevance means nothing, neither does “attractiveness”, neither does numbers, or audience counts, or clout, culture, or “merch”. Faithfulness to Jesus means everything.
The correspondent's face at the end of the video sums up my feelings on this charlatan
You're a charlatan.
Well.. her face at the end just reminds me how BIAS the news can be.
We, who are Christians, only need the constant remainder that Christ is our PERSONAL savior. He's personal to each living soul on this planet, if they so willingly choose to let him in their hearts. How ever and who so ever chooses to reach their destination to Christ is solely between them and our King of Kings. So, I wish them all a safe haven to the ultimate experience one reaches with the Holy Spirit within the Godhead. This medium has the potential to reach the youth who may be lost in this spiritually decaying world full of sin and hate.
you know...i would like to know where in the bible it says Jesus is our "personal" saviour,
people like you use that phrase, I would like to know where the bible states that.
thanks

Never EVER put your faith in a church or pastor. God is who He says He is. He will NEVER let you down
This dude (i dont identify him as pastor) spends more time on his looks than on God's word...shameful
I love hillsong's music, but the preaching is iffy to me and there were a lot of liberal talking points. No one asked for
You're so Beautiful ❤️ Stay safe!
Tightest pants ever on a preacher...
Have you been to my church?
From the day I heard about him and heard what he said not condemning sin and doing shots with Beiber, the Holy Spirit put up a HUGE red flag about him. When I heard the news that he'd been fired and had MULTIPLE affairs, it didn't surprise me at all. The fruit he produced wasn't the fruit of a Christian and he's just doing what a power hungry non-Christian would do, because he's not a Christian. I pray first of all that he will become a Christian and turn his life to the Lord, repent, make things right with his wife and kids and start over.
I like how they leave the video at the end "Oh?!"
LMFAO right? The bias is so obvious
They twist evil for good , they sugar coat GODS word if they do not open bible they are NOT OF GOD period. sugar coating does Not change TRUTH
Preach 👏
That was one of the more weird combos I've seen in a while. You travel deep Vice, respect.
This aged well.
If he is hiding something God already Got iiiim👌🏾 stay blessed all you believers out there 🙏🏾
"If you've heard of hillsong its likely due to Lentz and his social media presence.."
Hillsong worship: I'm I a joke to you!
It's sad that Lentz did not practice what he preached when it came to his own personal life and morality. There is a danger in personality based branding, whether it be in entertainment, politics or religion.
You don’t change the world by trying to be like the world. Christianity 101. This isn’t a church. This is a universalist, secular, motivational talk. Truly trying to destroy the true Church
I don't get how this can be considered christian. I was raised catholic mind you.
Did all these businessman pastors missed the part where Jesus kicked out the merchants from the temple ?
I don't know of a church that didn't do wrong at one point but making a business out of religion is just despicable.
I was also raised catholic. I am just shocked at some of these churches. Theres one of these churches in my area that actually sell t shirts and merchandise at the door.....Scary part is that people actually eat it up. I will not deny that this video definitely has a bias. However, every single time I have encountered or heard of these churches I get an instant bad vibe. I dont see church....I see greed.
Of course pastors and priests have to make a living but getting rich through that is actually contradicting the message of the christ.
They are not practicing what they preach. Christianity has values and money is not one of them. Hence why they look like hypocrites to me.
Also I don't believe one second that all this money is used to buy new church buildings.
Megachurches like this one are not about values, there is a twisted smell of egotrip and lust for power over people in the people leading them. I don't trust any of them.
word
He is a heretic
RaptorAZ 777 they also use the money to purchase his ridiculous fashion costs . Smh
Nobody in the church is wearing Supreme or Rick Owens like the pastor
CLOWN: SIMPLE
Dude says if you come into our church we win because I “look Like you.” I’ve never seen anyone wear what he wears. It’s not a compliment.
This church is so great that it is hardly a church at all!
That’s the problem ...
I've never watched a vice video so blatantly bias
vice is always blatantly bias....just watch any of their videos on Trump
Dr. L Hayes MD vice has always been known to be progressive. But why do you use trump as your example? Are you a trumptard? Just scratch ur obvious fake title.
No nice try.... I actually wanted Sanders to win....but I can be honest and still say that Vice is obviously Anti-Trump (just like Fox was anti Clinton)....I would prefer to watch news presented without an obvious bias and just be given facts allowing me to formulate my own opinion....what's so wrong with that?
Dr. L Hayes MD i wanted Sanders too, and as a progressives like Sanders, you should have known that he IS anti Trump. Trump is currently undoing every progress that Sanders have been working on so far. Being anti Trump doesnt mean you're pro Hillary.
And if you compare Vice to Fox news or FACTITIOUS right wing media because they hold a certain kind of "bias", you really need to get back to your degree. Fox has been numerously caught making literal fake news, fake sources and even fake people to serve their agenda, even more or so than any Clintonite MSM who
Yes Sanders is Anti Trump, but he is a politician, and believe it or not even I am anti Trump.....I think you are missing my whole point of my comment I am talking about the media being anti Trump and others being anti liberals...I am saying in my opinion media/journalists job should be to present facts without a bias (and most new organizations are guilty of this...some more than others) and let viewers formulate their own opinions....not to try to push their own personal views (whether conservative or liberal) on viewers
