I watched the part of the video that you referenced in your timestamp, and I will just briefly comment on one thing that he said.

Public schools are literally Satanic indoctrination camps. It has been said that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," and parents across the globe are entrusting the educating (really indoctrinating) of their children to a totally Satanic system. This does not mean that there are not any good teachers in the system, but they are the exception, and not the rule.

I agree with what he says, but after looking into who he is and what he believes, he's not someone I'd get too chummy with. Believers who don't want their children indoctrinated need to homeschool. The fact that so many don't is just evidence that their children aren't their first priority.

May I ask what you found out about him and his beliefs? I never heard of him before, and a quick search on his name really didn't tell me anything about him.

I agree.

When animals are raised in captivity they lose their ability to survive in the wild.

"Seldom do I ever watch or listen to commercialized presentations such as this, but for some reason
I clicked on this presentation. I will stand by my rebuke of most of this pastor's ramblings"


'Missing are some essential elements such as love, and a Spiritual heart. God is a Spiritual being,
and to worship in the Spirit and Truth was vague or completely missing and no clear explanation
of the necessity and need of obtaining and/or hopefully acquiring a Spiritual Heart.'


'I believe that children, who surely have curious minds, are going to be misled and confused by
the pastor's concept that God seemingly can and will physically reach out or come to them when needed.
No mention of the role of the GIFT of the Holy Spirit to be the guidance in applying and practicing
with discipline the "fruits of the Spirit", mainly love and all the attributes thereof. I believe without
sound 'teaching' within the family structure, children are, have been, and will be wards of a restless,
disturbing, and reckless society collectively and as a whole. Has this truth not been put forth in
the "inspired readings."


'Some of these basic principles surely should start with the parents enlightening young lives as to
honesty and truth, so long as parents are rightfully and spiritually mature enough to set the young
minds on a realistic and sound course of behavior. This alone will be a daunting undertaking in itself.
The "noise of the world" will always be a stumbling hindrance.'


'Bringing gender instability into the Christian atmosphere should be conducted by dedicated and
qualified personnel as this is a sensitive and extremely controversial subject that has turned society
into a troubling dilemma. Prayer is surely greatly needed in this area of great concern.'


(Intended solely as informative and subjects to reflect on.
Spiritual maturity and growth depend on the measure of one's intent. )

Well that was rude.

What you assume is learned helplessness could be practical efficiency. You said this guy is somebody we shouldn't get chummy with. Why should we waste a lot of time doing research on somebody like that?

So, as you made the claim, the question was kicked back to you for substantiation. A quick google is all the time somebody wants to spend on something like that.

Personally I didn't bother with even a quick google of the name. If you have no substantiation I will shrug and move on to a different topic. But then I'm not the one who asked you if you have any more information on this.

If anyone was offended by my parable I apologize. After thinking about it, I can see how it might be offensive on the surface; but there's a deeper meaning that has nothing to do with the person who asked the question. It refers to Evangelicalism in general.
