Podcasts about American Jesus

Welcome to the sixth episode of The Movies And Me, a new podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down and talk with a filmmaker, writer or someone who works in the film industry about their newest and latest film project or just a big cinephile in general who just lives for movies. We also ask about and discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film or just at the very least inspire them.On this episode, we are delighted to chat with a friend of Adam's, Edward Carson. Edward Carson is a scholar, an educator and activist. On his website, it says that Edward Carson 'teaches seminars on African American Studies, Race, Class, Gender, American Jesus, and Black Christianity.' A dean and historian who teaches about race and religion in America's 20th Century. Edward also currently hosts a podcast called Race Matters. The podcast Race Matters examines the nomenclature of race, class, gender, and culture and how they intersect with past historical phenomena and present narratives. Race Matters seeks to discuss the critical nature of how we talk about race and our moral obligation to confront it. You can also listen to the podcast here on SoundCloud and watch episodes on YouTube. We really enjoyed having Edward Carson on the podcast and talking to him about the four favourite films of his that he picked. If you haven't seen them, you should check them out. Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US, Finland & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV for example.

Sermon: Otherly LoveScripture: Matthew 9:9-13 NLTMain Point: Love broken people before they are fixed.Misconception #1: Jesus loves everyone but only likes Christians. Truth: Jesus invites everyone to follow him out of a life of brokenness.Misconception #2: Jesus only accepts people who have it together. Truth: Jesus loves us as we are, but doesn't leave us that way.Misconception #3: Jesus separates himself from hurting people. Truth: Jesus wants us to go where the hurt is.

Sermon Title: American Jesus, Part 1Scripture: Rom. 10:9, Luke 14:25-30, Matt. 4:18-22, 16:21-28, John 16:33Main Points: 1. The Cost of Salvation: To truly accept the gift of salvation means that we have to rejecteverything that isn't part of that salvation. We forsake all others and cleave only to God.2. The Cost of Following: We say that we are “following Jesus,” but the truth is we are oftentrying to lead him and include him. Following means surrender and a second seat to Jesus.3. The Cost of a Soul: We all want God to bless us with a good life, but God wants to bless oursouls with salvation, even if it costs some comfort in this life.DIG DEEPER-1. What has your salvation cost you? What changes has it made in your life?2. What have you given up for the sake of following Jesus?3. Where do you think that God is leading you in your life? What's his plan?4. Share a story of a time when the challenges of life caused you to question God's goodness.5. If God is most concerned with our souls, what does that mean for our everyday lives?

Sermon Title: American Jesus, Part 2Scripture: Matt. 25:1-13, Heb. 12:14-17, Matt. 25:14-30, John 15:2, Jas. 2:14-26, Matt. 25:31-46,Main Points: 1. Endurance: It is not just about starting the race, we have to finish. Jesus reminds us thatsalvation is a marathon that must be run to the end or we will miss the prize of eternity.2. Active Faith: True faith is alive and active. It reproduces itself and reproduces the Gospel inthe lives of others. It is so much more than the personal thing we make it.3. Compassion: Jesus offers more than a social Gospel. The activity of our salvation shouldproduce a heart that sees the needs of others and seeks to be a blessing to the least of these.Dig Deeper:1. How is our relationship with God more like a marathon than a sprint? How can we show that to others?2. What are some characteristics of a person who is living their life completely sold out for Jesus?3. What has God given to you that you could use to build His Kingdom?4. Why is compassion ministry so important to God? Why should it be more important to us?5. What could you be doing to show compassion to the “least of these?”

En esta parte del mundo, que es el viejo continente europeo, el cristianismo está en franca decadencia. Las iglesias históricas se vacían y las nuevas se llenan con emigrantes de otros continentes. Sin embargo, Jesús sigue siendo atractivo para muchos. Hay libros, canciones y películas sobre Él, como si de alguna manera fuera una excepción al rechazo que sufre la Iglesia y sus representantes. En este programa escuchamos algunas canciones recientes sobre Jesús en el universo del pop alternativo, por artistas que no son conocidos por su fe cristiana. Brand New es una banda formada este siglo en Nueva York. Escuchamos la composición que dedicaron a Jesucristo en 2006 (Jesus Christ). El "Jesús Negro" es la referencia de muchos cantantes del rap y hip-hop urbano, que vienen de un medio marginal afrodescendiente. Escuchamos a Tupac Shakur, asesinado a los 25 años en Las Vegas con el tema que originalmente grabó en 1996 como 2Pac & Outlawz (Black Jesuz). Nessa Barrett es una cantautora de origen portorriqueño, hija de un actor y rapero, que se cría con una madre soltera y ahora canta al "Jesús americano" (American Jesus 2023). La controversia que hay en los días de Jesús sobre quién es Él, llega desde el séptimo capítulo del Evangelio según Juan hasta el día de hoy. Pocas historias han despertado tanta curiosidad como "El Código Da Vinci". Su disparatado argumento nos lleva de la historia del arte a la leyenda del Santo Grial, para pasar de las sociedades secretas a lo divino femenino en María de Magdalena, como el secreto oculto del enigma de Jesús. La novela de Dan Brown en 2003 fue llevada al cine por Ron Howard con Tom Hanks en 2006. Oímos algunas escenas de la versión doblada de la película, que José de Segovia comenta con el fondo de la banda sonora original de Hans Zimmer. Este año 2024, el dúo británico de "tecno-pop", Pet Shop Boys, se preguntaba cómo sería la historia de Jesús, si Él tuviera una hermana (If Jesus Had A SIster). Johnny Cash responde al mito de María Magdalena en una canción que apareció en su álbum póstumo de 2006. En ella nos dice cuál fue su verdadero amor, el que Jesús muestra por ella en el Evangelio (If Ever Jesus Loved A Woman). Acabamos con la declaración de fe que hizo Donna Summer cuando se convirtió a la fe evangélica, después de ser la seductora "reina" de la "música disco". En ella nos dice que tras su "Vagabundeo", ahora: "Creo en Jesús" (I Believe In Jesus 1980).

Jason Cruise, Senior Pastor of ClearView Baptist Church in Franklin, Tennessee teaches on "Not The American Jesus."

Send us a textIn this conversation, Josh Burtram and Will Wright interview Steve Bezner, the senior pastor of Houston Northwest Church, about his book 'Your Jesus is Too American.' They discuss the problem of American culture co-opting the teachings of Jesus in the American church and the need to prioritize kingdom values over cultural conformity. They explore the tension between American patriotism and Christian faith, the influence of pastors in shaping interpretations of the Bible, and the redefinition of success in the church to align with Jesus' teachings. In this conversation, Steve Bezner discusses the intersection of faith, patriotism, and politics. He emphasizes the importance of building relationships and embodying the teachings of Jesus in order to bring positive change to communities. Bezner addresses the issue of Christian nationalism and cautions against imposing extreme Christian morality on the nation. He hopes that his book, 'Your Jesus is Too American,' will inspire everyday Christians to prioritize following Jesus and lead to stories of racial reconciliation and radical generosity.Buy the Book: Your Jesus Is Too American: Calling the Church to Reclaim Kingdom Values over the American Dream: https://a.co/d/h251XS4Guest Bio:Steve Bezner has been the Senior Pastor of Houston Northwest Church since January 2013.

Summary In this episode, Tim, April, and Andrew discuss Christian nationalism and its impact on various social issues. They explore the definition of Christian nationalism and its desire to see a specific expression of Christianity fused with American civic life. They also examine the association between Christian nationalism and opposition to same-sex marriage, as well as the belief in traditional social arrangements and hierarchies. The conversation highlights the slow liberalization of views on same-sex marriage among those who embrace Christian nationalism. The discussion also touches on the theological challenges faced by Christian nationalists when it comes to accepting queer relationships and the rejection of contraception access by some Republicans. In this conversation, Tim and April discuss the themes of white Christian nationalism, the intersection of religion and race, and the dangers of Christian nationalist ideology. They highlight the importance of understanding the motivations and beliefs of Christian nationalists, as well as the potential consequences if their ideology gains more power and influence in the United States. The conversation also touches on the hypocrisy and double standards of conservative pundits and the need for people to stay informed and speak out against Christian nationalism. Takeaways Christian nationalism seeks to fuse a specific expression of Christianity with American civic life and desires to see the government defend and preserve that cultural framework. Those who strongly embrace Christian nationalism are more likely to oppose same-sex marriage and support the right of small business owners to refuse service to gay or lesbian people. While there has been a liberalization of views on same-sex marriage among all Americans, those who embrace Christian nationalism have been slower to change their stance. Christian nationalism's belief in traditional social arrangements and hierarchies poses theological challenges when it comes to accepting queer relationships. Some Republicans' rejection of contraception access aligns with the belief in a rightly ordered society that involves a man and a woman having many children. White Christian nationalism is a dangerous ideology that seeks to maintain white privilege and power in the United States. Christian nationalism is intertwined with white supremacy and seeks to enforce a specific vision of America based on Christian values. Understanding the motivations and beliefs of Christian nationalists is crucial in order to counter their influence and protect marginalized communities. Conservative pundits often engage in hypocrisy and double standards when it comes to supporting political figures and ideologies. It is important for individuals to stay informed about the dangers of Christian nationalism and to speak out against it in order to protect democracy and promote equality.

Jesus is the most popular figure in the world. People tend to visualize of Jesus based on who they are, not who He is.Hebrews 13:8-9a Three images of Jesus you will be tempted to embrace:American JesusHippie JesusTerminator Jesus Today, American Jesus.I'm using the term American Jesus in a negative way because as Amercians, we tend to view Jesus through the lens of our being American. Christian nationalism.Christianity Today defines it as "the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity, and the government should take active steps to keep it that way."Patriotism is good, but God doesn't love America more than Bolivia.Mark 12:17 ESV God does not see your responsibility to your country to be the same thing as your allegiance to His Kingdom. You are not Christian American, you are an American Christian. American Jesus is Jesus made in the image of American: materialism, self-reliance, achievement, excess. Four signs that you might worship American Jesus:1. Jesus is your savior, but not your Lord.The word Lord in the New Testament means "master."Matthew 28:19-20 NLT The main marker of a disciple of Jesus is obedience. You do what He says to do because He is in charge—not you.James 1:22-24 Jesus becomes your savior as He becomes your Lord. God doesn't want to only be your crisis manager, but He wants to be your daily planner. 2. Jesus wants to make you comfortable and happy. God is the God of comfort but there is a difference between being comforted and being comfortable. You need comfort because you won't always be comfortable!Acts 14:22 NLTGod's goal for your life is not a life of luxury, but a life of maturity.Your happiness is not as important as your holiness because holiness is what makes you truly happy.God will do things for you. But God is not as interested in what He can do FOR you, as He is in what He can do IN you and THROUGH you. 3. Jesus helps you achieve your dreams, even though you don't help Him achieve His.You exist to make God's dreams come trueEphesians 1:5 NLT2 Peter 3:9 NLT  4. Your approach to Jesus is transactional, not           relational.Christian gold diggers are just after the streets of gold. They want to go heaven, but they don't want a King. Psalm 91:1 NLT Everyone wants God for their protection, but not every one wants to make God their priority.Too many Christians are "shacking up" with Jesus. They want benefits from him, without commitment to him. When we do this we are using God for what He can do, not loving Him for who He is. There are too many green card Christians who are using Jesus to gain citizenship in Heaven.American Jesus is transactional, the real Jesus is relational.  Who do you say that He is? Do you worship American Jesus?

Although God calls us to be shaped into his likeness, we're more interested in fashioning God in our own image. But the real Jesus cannot be made into the image of man so easily. This week we'll look at five modern distortions of Jesus that appeal to Christians on the conservative side of the spectrum: Braveheart Jesus, American Jesus, Dr. Phil Jesus, Prosperity Jesus, and Legalist Jesus. These fake Jesuses are dangerous because those who follow them put their trust in someone other than the biblical Christ. If the Christ we worship looks just like the man in the mirror, is he the real Jesus…or a Jesus of our own making?

Dr. Bradley Onishi, is the author of Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism - And What Comes Next. He is the co-host of the excellent Straight White American Jesus podcast. His work has appeared in the New York Times, NBC News, Politico, Rolling Stone, Huffpost, and many other outlets.  Bradley got personally drawn into evangelical Christianity as a teenager—and from a secular family—and had the strange experience of burying his part-Japanese heritage in a white coded, Christian Nationalist identity. It took him years of scholarship to see how this political ideology had been baked into the religious indoctrination. Now he's a religious studies scholar, doing work in the world from that perspective. And his struggles with all of this stuff have brought his empathy and his humility up to the surface in really profound ways.  Bradley has a lot of family history in Maui, and on his behalf and for people there who have just survived a catastrophic fire and now must bury their dead and rebuild, we would like to encourage you to consider donating to the Maui Mutual Aid Fund.  Show Notes Straight White American Jesus Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism--and What Comes Next Go to HelloFresh.com/50conspirituality and use code 50conspirituality for 50% off plus free shipping.

In this episode we begin our series on describing a pastoral response to Christian nationalism. We also learn from scholar, Dr Pamela Cooper-White and her work at helping to bridge and create meaningful conversations with those who are Christian nationalists. Pamela Cooper-White is the Christine Brooks Johnson Professor of Psychology and Religion at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Dr Cooper-White is also a certified clinical fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. In her book, The Psychology of Christian Nationalism: Why People are Drawn In and How to Talk Across the Divide, from Fortress Press. Dr. Cooper-White provides cultural background, a psychological frame of reference, and key practices to work at building empathetic and meaning relationships with those who think differently, sometime very differently, than we do. In the first part of this conversation, Dr Cooper-White provides the trends and social developments, and the group psychology that has led to the emergence of the current expression of Christian nationalism. In the next episode, we will continue the conversation and look at the practices the will help people to “talk across the divide.”Also, we spend a bit of time making Super Bowl predictions on certain aspects of the game that are often left out of conversations. Let us know what you think. As we continue to talk about Christian nationalism, are there ideas or questions you have? Respond to us on Twitter @allthatsholy, or on Facebook.Music this week was from, A Better Bridge, by Thrice, and can be found on our developing Spotify playlist, called No SWAJ (SWAJ refers to the notion of a straight white American Jesus). Or, you can find it on Youtube. Make sure to review us on Apple podcasts with a positive review. If you have something negative to say, just send it to us - or maybe just to Cody.

Cody and Craig are back. This episode is a preview of some of the topics we are looking to jump into as 2023 moves along. We will be a bit more organized, maybe. One can hope! We are pursuing two different series. We've never really carried out a series before, so this might not only be a challenge for us, but for you, our listeners. We continue to speak from a shared theological framework of open and relational theology, aka ORT. We have conducted interviews with Johnathan Foster and Bruce Epperly and will be adding more conversations regarding ORT as we build the series on this theological framework.The other series is seeking to develop resources to respond to the growth of Christian nationalism. We have had conversations with Pamela Cooper-White, Drew Strait, and Angela Denker to workout what is a pastoral response to Christian nationalism. For now, we just have ourselves to talk to in this episode so you can reacquaint yourselves with what we sound like. We also included some music from our new Spotify playlist, No SWAJ (link below):Anti-Flag: Victory or Death: https://youtu.be/bWVAVTUcxUc Spinifex Gum: Locked up: https://youtu.be/imWGnlzLPiU Make sure to review us on Apple podcasts with a positive review. If you have something negative to say, just send it to us - or maybe just to Cody. Also, follow us on Twitter @allthatsholy. Also, Craig is creating his playlist to resist Christian nationalism on Spotify, called No SWAJ (SWAJ refers to the notion of a straight white American Jesus)

And amongst all the stories of doom and gloom why don't we see Jesus on our television screens? And I don't mean American Jesus. I don't mean the Jesus used by political fools to justify unjust wars and killing unborn babies, who smile their toothy smiles as they explain why they have to take more and more from us until we can't even breathe without having the air in our lungs taxed. I mean the real Jesus who comes with grace and peace. The real Jesus who comes to seek and save the lost. The real Jesus who says the last will be first and the first will get none. The real Jesus you will never see on tv because he won't be a spokesman for Pfizer or Ratheon, and he'll never endorse Joel Osteen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/donavon-riley/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/donavon-riley/support

God with us. It's what we were made for. It's what's been lost. It's what Jesus came to restore. Intellectually, most American Jesus followers agree here. But experientially, there seems to be a gap. I mean, yeah, He's “with us,” but what does that actually mean? Lean in for Week 3 of “Holy Spirit.” CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.

¡Regresamos! y con un episodio largo! Hablamos del regreso de Deadpool y con Wolverine incluido, y damos ideas de como se va a juntar todo esto al UCM, también tocando los cambios con "Armor Wars" y los problemas con "Blade". La adaptación sorpresa de "American Jesus" del universo de Mark Millar y como nos genera duda pero emoción, junto con el trailer de "The Last of Us" que ha divido el fandom, y el re-estreno de Avatar. Obviamente no podíamos dejar de hablar de la temporada de anime que se viene con todo y la series del momento, "Andor", "She-Hulk" pero sobre todo, lo que nos dejo el CAPITULAZO de "House of the Dragon" ¿Team Verde o Team Rojo? ¡Dale Play!

https://patreon.com/cineyalcohol Juan y Chava platican sobre la polémica de la nueva película de Pixar, la tragedia sucedida en la filmación de la nueva serie de Netflix y la película de basketball protagonizada por Adam Sandler. Todo esto mientras toman cerveza.

Not the episode we planned on, and we apologize if it's not the one you deserve. But we think it's great! ERIC (@rickpreen on Instagram) from soon-to-debut band JAKE RAZOR & HIS ECLECTIC BLEND (and many previous Rochester bands) joins us along with surprise returning guest CONNER (@exhilirating_excess on Instagram). Conner previously lobbed some hot takes during our MARCH MAYHEM: PUSHEAD's TOP 100 series. Tyler discussed the recent HATRED SURGE/IRON LUNG/SCAPEGOAT gig he attended in NYC, which lead to some classic Western NY-centric regionalism chat. In the second half we tackle a topic we've never broached before: religion. This episode blends the raucous and the profound without a lot of music discussion involved. If you're a fan of KOPPOD then we assume you expect that from time to time. We will talk about punk rock a lot more next week.

This week we get all religious again. We're comparing Biblical Jesus with the "Americanized" version of Jesus. We also welcome to the show Emmanuel "E-Man" Fernandez. We discuss how all threw of us grew up in some form of Americanized version of the Christian church and how something was just a little....off for us.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “You must not imagine that all those who strewed the branches in the way and cried ‘Hosanna' cared about Christ as a spiritual prince. No, they thought that he was to be a temporal deliverer, and when they found out afterwards that they were mistaken, they hated him just as much as they had loved him, and ‘Crucify him, crucify him,' was as loud and vehement a cry as ‘Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.'” ~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “The American Jesus is more a pawn than a king, pushed around in a complex game of cultural (and countercultural) chess, sacrificed here for this cause and there for another.” ~Dr. Stephen Prothero, professor at Boston University Solzhenitsyn believed the Soviets “paid Christianity the ultimate compliment by trying to kill it, while Americans have offered it the ultimate insult by seeking to domesticate it.” ~Ralph Wood in Solzhenitsyn and American Culture “Jesus the King of Kings came first in submission to the Father which required submission that led to a Roman cross. His hands did not come grasping a crown but were stretched out to be pierced with nails by those He came to save.” ~Source Unknown “A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.” ~Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), Indian lawyer and activist “Lord, be Thou my King this day! Reign more absolutely in me than ever before. Let the increase of Thy government be continual and mighty in me, so that Thy name may be glorified in me now and forever.” ~Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879) British author, poet, and hymn writer SERMON PASSAGE John 12:12-26 (ESV) John 12 12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.” 20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” Zechariah 9 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Every word in this article describes my religious views: "https://brucegerencser.net/why-i-hate-jesus/ "I don't hate the flesh and blood Jesus who walked the dusty roads of Palestine, nor do I hate the Jesus found in the pages of the Bible. These Jesuses are relics of the past. I'll leave it to historians to argue and debate whether these Jesuses were real or fiction. Over the centuries, Christians have created many Jesuses in their own image. This is the essence of Christianity, an ever-evolving religion bearing little resemblance to what it was even a century ago. The Jesus I hate is the modern, Western Jesus, the American Jesus, the Jesus who has been a part of my life for almost fifty-eight years. The Jesuses of bygone eras have no power to harm me, but the modern Jesus – the Jesus of the three hundred thousand Christian churches that populate every community in America – he has the power to affect my life, hurt my family, and destroy my country. And I, with a vengeance, hate him. This Jesus drives fancy cars, has palaces and cathedrals, and followers who spare no expense to make his house the best mansion in town. This Jesus loves Rolexes, Lear jets, and expensive suits. This Jesus sees the multitude and turns his back on them, only concerned with those who say and believe “the right things.” It is this Jesus I hate. This Jesus owns condominiums constructed just for those who believe in him. When they die, he gives them the keys. But, for the rest of humanity, billions of people, this Jesus says no keys for you. I have a special Hitler-like plan for you. To the ovens you go, only unlike the Jews, I plan to give you a special body that allows me to torture you with fire and brimstone forever. It is this Jesus I hate. It is this Jesus who looks at Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, Deists, Universalists, Secularists, Humanists, and Skeptics, and says to them before you were born I made sure you could never be in the group that gets the condominiums when they die. This Jesus says, and it is your fault, sinner man. It is this Jesus who made sure billions of people were born into cultures that worshiped other Gods. It is this Jesus who then says it is their fault they were born at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Too bad, this Jesus says, burn forever in the Lake of Fire. It is this Jesus I hate. This Jesus divides families, friends, communities, and nations. This Jesus is the means to an end. This Jesus is all about money, power and control. This Jesus subjugates women, tells widows it's their fault, and ignores the cry of orphans. Everywhere one looks, this Jesus hurts, afflicts, and kills those we love. It is this Jesus I hate. What I can't understand is why anyone loves this Jesus? Like a clown on a parade route, he throws a few candies towards those who worship him, promising them that a huge pile of candy awaits them when they die. He lets his followers hunger, thirst, and die, yet he tells them it is for their good, that he loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life. This Jesus is all talk, promising the moon and delivering a piece of gravel. Why can't his followers see this? Fear me, he tells his followers. I have the keys to life and death. I have the power to make you happy and I have the power to destroy your life. I have the power to take your children, health, and livelihood. I can do these things because I am the biggest, baddest Jesus ever. Fear me and oppress women, immigrants, orphans, homosexuals, and atheists. Refuse my demand and I will rain my judgment down upon your head. But, know that I love you and only want is best for you and yours. It is this Jesus I hate. This Jesus is pro-life. Yet, this same Jesus supports the incarceration of poor young men of color, often for no other crime than trying to survive." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

"In the entire first Christian century Jesus is not mentioned by a single Greek or Roman historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher or poet. His name never occurs in a single inscription, and it is never found in a single piece of private correspondence. Zero! Zip references."

Jesus Christ was much more like Kid Rock than Billy Graham. Let's go beyond the whitewashed, American Jesus, and see what the most famous man in the world was REALLY like. We are told by the Christian Belief System that Jesus was perfect and never sinned. Ummm...that's not actually correct.
