Christians: Don’t Fall for THIS at Your Next Family Gathering

Christians need to try this at their next family gathering! In this video, Bryan Osborne teaches us how to better navigate family gatherings that become political and/or religious. He shares three ways Christians can engage with family members who lack a biblical worldview.

There don’t have to be absolutes for a society to be kind, considerate, and helpful, to one another and their neighbors. The Christian notion of Divine Absolutism is rooted in the core belief of human beings being divinely imperfect, “sinful,” and flawed. The “Apple Story,” is, at best, a fable designed to instruct, but falls short due to its inherent mythological nature. We of the modern world, though we may practice some form of religion, prefer scientific fact, and observation to explain the actual physical world itself. Divine moral absolutism is, at best, an anachronism that should be done away with and replaced with some more realistic scenario that we are inexperienced creatures on a path of wisdom through gained experience.

The wages of sin is death, but Jesus came and paid the fine, it is why He said “It is finished” before He died.

For crying out loud. If you're having a thanksgiving meal and someone brings up a topic which divides the table - be a peacemaker, enjoy the family time you have, don't turn it into a culture war. By all means engage with the topic AFTER thanksgiving but don't ruin everyone's day by turning a family gathering into your own personal pulpit. And if an "unbeliever" is engaging with you - DON'T quote the bible at them because they don't care. It has no weight in an argument with someone who doesn't believe it. All 3 of these pieces of advice given in the video also work against you! If you ask questions, so can they! If you claim their beliefs are assumptions, they can claim the same about yours! If you go to the bible to quote something, so can they! Thanksgiving meals with family should be about building relationships and mending bridges, not scoring points. You don't need to vigorously defend yourself every time someone disagrees with your religious views - you can agree to disagree for the sake of harmony and unity which is a MUCH more powerful statement than being a fundamentalist 24hrs a day.

Now this is the most useful advice one can give on the topic. And I would extend this advice beyond just family dinners to include all human interactions in general.

[@stevenbatke2475]

Well said.

How about do as Jesus would do?

[@markduell2468]

Does Jesus exist?

[@kidslovesatan34]

Jesus taught that mental illness was caused by demons, but because of omniscience knew that was false. He deliberately misinformed his audience and subjected those with mental illness to unconscionable treatment at the hands of the ignorant and superstitious. This was wicked behaviour from someone who knew better.

[@isaiahwharton5598]

​@@markduell2468Yes actually,He has alot of historical documentation. Look up Flavius Josephus

[@ArmoredZephyr]

​@@kidslovesatan34 If you're going to talk about the part where he taught that, then you should also talk about the part where he healed them and was proven absolutely. Further, no, he didn't teach that ALL mental illness was demonic. Some of it, however, definitely is.

[@kidslovesatan34]

@@ArmoredZephyr Hold on, no mental illness is due to demon possession. What are you talking about!

[@fohrum4757]

Nothing more ironic than talking about unpacking assumptions while also assuming every word of the Bible to be literal truth.

[@flyingtime5501]

Well it has proven itself time n time again. On the other hand science classes teach Evolutionary THEORY n you all walk away thinking it's a fact. Ask yourself, if it's theoretical it is subject to change with further knowledge so where is the logic in preaching it as a fact. Truth is it's your only best defense in considering God's word as truth!

[@whelperw]

​@@flyingtime5501 Do you know what theory means? And why are you attacking evolution? Do you think its on equal or superior footing than bible, and because of that, its treat for you?

Christmas is a pagan holiday..it's urgent that all believers look into the holiday that was originally called Saturnalia..I pray for the truth to be known to all who love the Father and His Son who want to worship in Spirit and in truth

[@leroyjenkins3744]

All holidays are pagan in origin. Do you celebrate Easter? Pagan. St. Patrick’s day? Pagan. Christmas? Pagan. Halloween? Pagan. Valentine’s Day? Pagan. They are all pagan. They were just changed by Christians to be their holidays. Either celebrate them in the context of your religion or don’t at all. Don’t tell others that they’re sinning for celebrating a holiday that hold religious significance for them.

There is no such thing as a “biblical worldview”. There is only Your worldview, as you interpret it through your own reading of the bible.

[@jeremyvasquez6913]

No man there's definitely the right way to read the Bible and the wrong way. You just can't interpret it anyway you feel fit. That's nonsense.

[@gonebamboo4116]

Next family gathering? Hahahah😅😅😅 😢 You have no idea what many Christians are suffering

[@razark9]

If they were brainwashed by creation propaganda such as AiG I'd be surprised if they were ever invited to family gatherings anymore.

[@dukekelloway5328]

And even pray a little bit. Thanks for that useless piece of information there dude. If there was someone to pray to and if it worked even in the slightest don't you think many of the issues you talk about day in and day out would be solved. No? You are essentially talking to yourself and the results prove it.

[@JamesRichardWiley]

A biblical worldview contains a barbaric Hebrew god named Yahweh who is sorry he made mankind. Later he had a son.

[@NickGagnon942]

Best not to talk religion with family.

Jesus is from the middle east so he would have darker skin, though. Are you advocating for whitewashing Jesus???

There is certainly no evidence of one.

[@flyingtime5501]

​@@markduell2468there is, how do you explain the unexplainable in your eyes? Lots of prophecy has been fulfilled actually lending credence to the bible. Science only has openly stated theories that somehow get construed into facts that prove the bible wrong. You should follow modern archaeology, it constantly proves the bible more accurate n past theories wrong. Anyway good luck and in all life seek knowledge say a prayer n you just may be surprised, it's like stepping out of darkness into light. So much makes sense if you just look for it rather than keeping a closed mind with narrow beliefs.
