[@chasebarnett9068]

@ApologiaStudios so if rape is to be punished by death does that person not have to forgive that person sin?

[@chasebarnett9068]

Or forgiveness but that doesn’t void what Jesus said to do about those people .

[@chasebarnett9068]

So forgive them but still carry out the will of God by killing them ?

[@cat-bg3rv]

Melissa Dougherty enjoys speaking on this subject. It is very essential to realize the pagan beliefs that have crept into the church. Thanks for the information guys.

[@klarag7059]

It’s in the Church more than most of us can imagine. Flat out witchcraft.

@@mvj1153 Oh, yes, I have viewed a few of Doreen's videos. 👍

Excellent work, gentlemen! I got caught up in the Law of Attraction after watching The Secret in early 2013. I thought Bob Proctor was the man, and I thought it was this profound way of thinking that would bring me happiness and wealth. It did not. After several years of missteps, I found my way back to Jesus in late 2015. I still have my struggles, but I know that all of this Law of Attraction, manifestation stuff is pure evil disguised as good, which is what Satan does best.

[@AChippendale]

Hey! I had a similar experience. ✝️ Since 2022. I was so shocked to realise that it was all heresay from satan . I was a true believer until Jesus saved me out of it. 🎉

[@JonClash]

Thanks so much for having me on!

[@kc9740]

What is this secret product for stomach issues???

[@christinefernandez559]

What company do you work for that helped your gut?

[@robertmcdonell831]

This is the facet of the New Age movement that my background was in before God called me. Thank you guys so much for addressing this and I look forward to listening to the video!

[@AChippendale]

Would love a cultish episode on Abraham Hicks

Network marketing is a scam and the law of attraction is a lie.

Concise and 100% true. I'm with you. 🎯

Looking forward to this episode!!

I heard Steven Bancarz mentioned in this podcast. I have been wondering what ever happened to him? He talked about taking a break from his ministry a couple years ago. I seem to recall hearing he moved to Canada, but I cannot find any current content or information on him. First time I heard him was on Cultish, last time I think was a podcast with Alisa Childers about the Universal Christ. I am just curious what is up with him.

[@jessemitchem3880]

I almost didn't click on this, but I'm so glad I did. This reallt helpwd me. Thank you. Instantly applicable.

[@kirstenberg6960]

Can you guys do an episode on freemasons? We had that in my grandmother’s family.

[@jayschelstrate9878]

This is straight up gross. You don't need to work for network marketing to learn to communicate, you can just get a real sales job, selling a real product and getting paid for your services. Shame on you guys.

[@keziahs5446]

There’s no need to comment on one part of a very long conversation without listening to the entire video first. It could be misleading for people who haven’t even watched it yet. The guy giving his experience with network marketing means you write both of them off and don’t watch the rest of the video which has nothing to do with that?

[@jayschelstrate9878]

@@keziahs5446 at 9:32 he "suggests that people do 2 years of network marketing"...that is misleading people with terrible advice. I stand by what I said. There are better ways to learn to communicate with people without building your business off others misfortune. You know, with a real sales job.

[@keziahs5446]

@@jayschelstrate9878 I don’t agree with what he said at all either, I’m not a fan of network marketing or mlms. Just feel it’s unfair to attack the host of the show for the guests’ opinion on something that isn’t even part of the topic being discussed.

[@jayschelstrate9878]

@@keziahs5446 It's his show and it's his job to lead the conversation where he wants it to go. As far as I can tell he is not subscribing to the Louis Theroux methodology of interview where you just let them speak until they back themselves into a corner. Because even if that was the intention, he has gone out of his way to not bury MLMs and network marketing for reasons that are hard to understand.

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

Agree 💯. I thought maybe I clicked on the wrong video. I actually had to reread the title to make sure.

[@Gossie88]

And just think how much Joyce Meyer teaches this stuff and other people in the spotlight.

[@thebourg]

Thank you for this. I've been around believers (so called) who also follow the Law of Attraction principles and it concerns me. When i see people talk about "trusting the universe" or asking the universe and then in the next breath they talk about Jesus. There is truth behind frequencies and attracting positive people (if you act positive ir think positive you are going to likely find more positive people in your life) but it goes to far when people think its some supernatural thing that you can just manifest this stuff to exist.

[@jesuslover6497]

It breaks my heart too. New Age and the occult has infiltrated deep into everything. June 17th will mark 2 years since God delivered me out of New Age and the occult. I see it and hear it everywhere now. I understand more and more what God means by we are aliens here. I feel so displaced. I can’t wait to meet my Lord and Savior!

Walter Martin use to say, "Paul is appealing while Peale (Norman Vincent) is appalling."

[@fraukeschmidt8364]

😂 That's hilarious!

[@conceptualclarity]

That actually goes back farther to Donald Grey Barnhouse in the 1950s.

[@extern83]

Please also talk about the view that our souls/spirits chose to come into this world into the specific body to have the specific experience (good or bad).

[@giovannaclash7804]

This was such an incredible interview! Very informative and insightful! Thanks for being bold and speaking up! It was also a very fun interview! 🙏🙏🙏

[@TanyaMBowers]

With all due respect, 35 minutes in and I don’t hear any of God’s Truth spoken to combat the “law of attraction”. I would really like to hear someone else’s thoughts on this. Am I missing something? I was waiting for y’all to use God’s Word to combat and explain the inaccuracy and darkness of the law of attraction and The Secret. Hmmmm…??? Thanks for all you do! Peace and Grace!🙏❤️😊

yay this makes sense

[@riniks112]

What is network marketing? People getting together to make a business plan? If it's something that can consume you doesn't sound appealing even if there are benefits.

[@rooflogic5610]

Way to plug your book and network marketing. Your now practicing network marketing law of attraction.

[@Jenn_Psalm25.4-7]

Are ya'll aware of the occult ties in movies like Batman? Many marvel movies, and Hollywood garbage is in direct opposition of God and linked to Aleister Crowley. Be careful of what "entertainment" you consume. Look up the documentary Hollywood's war on God and Hollywood unmasked (all the channeling these actors do to "act")....

[@251richardhudson7]

Thank you for the content apologia studio produce. I'm having a clash with the comment on children starving at the 50min mark? A person was asked why children where starving, answering that the community spoke it into reality. Well children do suffer if the adults choose to do evil. Infants and children perished in sodom gamorah, the city Jonah went to warn had children. So I'm feeling conflicted, the Bible does also point towards a collective repentance, turning away from evil. I'm sure that you could help me understand the comment. The contrast between the destruction of sinful behaviour and the results, and trying to control reality with words. The Bible says rather say hopefully I will do so and so. Not shall. Having a humility.

[@GraceAlone50]

Can't believe they are allowing him to push network marketing.

[@neoturfmasterMVS]

networking marketing and Christianity not compatible. same as strip club is not compatible with Christianity. Both network marketing and strip clubs destroy lives and make a tiny number of people super rich. Nothing to do with Christianity.

[@tristen7085]

The only way to improve your life is with Jesus, not MLM and all its seminars and ect. Ive done many MLM and the end game is to make money. It doesn't matter which one you are in, they do not promote Jesus their sole focus is recruiting,building your team so you can gain wealth. I dont see how MLM seminars are good to change your life if you arent meeting Jesus. Its just empty self-improvement and self help seminars and all a person is building up is the self and chasing matterial wealth. Can you imagine if these large seminars promoted Jeaus above all else ? Maybe many would bw saved rather than working on self saving. MLMs go against everything the bible teaches about not chasing the thibgs of this world. I was looking forward to this interview as i was hoping the focus would have been on the secret and how its infiltrated the church along with new age practices like Bethel redding uses, but I was very disappointed in the direction it ended up going. I typically love this program but this one was poorly interviewed and this man was off in his own tangent promoting MLMs and directly promoting his book!

[@olgazelenka1544]

I’m listening to this and I have a HUGE HUGE ISSUE with this guys Jon Clash speaking about trying network marketing to build your skill level. This is very predatory He than goes on to say that he know people who have made their money in the MLM space and is a sound Christian. Both CANNOT be true. If you are at the top of an MLM you know how they work, which means that you are ok with THOUSANDS below you loosing money so that you can make yours. You cannot sit at the top of an MLM and believe this is an ethical and Biblical way to make money. Please I ask you to look into how MLMs function, in this rare case you need to throw away the baby with the bath water. I love your contend but I was horrified about Jon Clash’s statement that he recommends people join an MLM, please please do not condone this statement.

[@stillWaters137]

There's a reason MLM is shaped like a pyramid...sacred geometry (Pythagoras), false trinity...the Mormon church is very much running that department of the occult system. Working with our hands outside of the system brings us away from the curse of Babylonian money magik. You're right...not a great place to play around, MLM. Smarmy stuff. Lots of other ways to throw money away that are more enjoyable.

[@AndrewL4me]

This channel is basically a MLM

[@El.savedbyJesus]

Totally agree, trying a MLM to build skills is just as bad as trying scientology for the courses.

[@christiancox3819]

Very confusing message. He's promoting MLM.

[@gregshell8570]
