Jesus was emphatetic to prostitutes, but he also said ”sin no more”. He was not validating their actions, he forgave when the woman was herself repenting from her sins. Jesus set her free from her past, while people were judging her because of her past. But Jesus didnt say to her ”you do nothing wrong, i dont judge you, carry on your life style”

No, it doesn’t work like that, Lord Jesus literally told the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more, ““No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬. He told sinners to repent from sin or perish (go to hell), “Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ He also said we should judge, “Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Sinners must be offended at the preaching of the true Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ, you can call us mean girls all you like, but that will never negate the truth of Lord God, sin leads to Hell and without holiness no man will see the Lord. “Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I don’t agree with this take. We’re all sinners and need grace, YES. But being a Christian which is to be “Christ-like” means exactly that. We’re supposed to be held at a higher standard bc we know better. Jesus could hang out with sinners bc he was pure and was incorruptible. Humans on the other hand are very much corruptible which is why the bible warns us of hanging around sinners in 1 Corinthians 5:11. And no, you can’t cuss, be a bottle girl, and engage in all the ways of this world then call yourself a “Christian”. The Holy Spirit is there to convict you to turn away from those things when you give your life to Jesus. Again, bc you know better.

[@lovericepudding]

Facts 👏🏾

[@lizpopoola]

In absolute agreement with this! To give your life to Christ is exactly that, it means your life is NO LONGER YOUR OWN. You now submit to what Christ dictates as right. We're warned that the heart of man is desperately wicked (Jer 17:9), the idea of "be christian and live your life/truth" is a lie from the devil. It is not a self righteous to expose evil (Eph 5:11). There is a way christian is suppose to look like i.e test their fruits (Gals 5:22-23). Be warned beloved of the Most High, the time where people are no longer listening to sound and wholesome teaching (2 Tim 4:3). We teach about the love of Christ without the suffering that comes with it hence the "new age Christians." This is why I'm mindful to ask questions when someone introduces themselves as Christians. It's not just a term, it's not just speaking it, it's not about the emotions you experience in church/music, it's not about making excuses for your deliberate sin, it's doing EVERYTHING you can to live holy - Christ died so SIN NO LONGER HAS ANY POWER OVER YOU (Roman 6:14); live like His death has meaning. Now there are some things where people's conviction differs i.e some people are able to do yoga without conviction while others don't. Neither is sin, the sin would be if you're actively in fellowship with the pagan aspect - listen to the Holy Spirit and raise these questions to your spiritual leaders to get better clarity. The moment you're delivered - you can stop sinning, you can stop drinking, you can stop having sex before marriage, you can stop cursing, you can stop being angry. Yes, there is the sanctification process but most use these as an excuse to continue deliberate sin. I also agree with the woman in timestamp 53:00. There is a right way to inform someone when they have gone astray. There is a right approach to sharing the truth in love because it could have been done in ignorance. Don't be fooled, the Lord Himself said many will come to Him claiming to have done this and that in His name but He will reject them because though they claimed Him, they did not have a relationship with Him (Matthew 7:21-23); it's called the narrow road for a reason.

[@pagefoster6506]

i don’t agree that Jesus is the only one that can hang around “sinners” without being “corrupted”. Self control is key. in the past while hanging around my friends we would gossip, smoke, drink etc. but now that i have God in my life and I choose that for MY life, i can hang around my friends and still be strong in my beliefs. I now understand how drinking, smoking and engaging in that gossip would hurt God’s trust in me but i also understand just because my friends didn’t start taking christianity seriously after I did doesn’t mean I shouldn’t hang around “sinners” and i should start distancing myself from them. If they are patient with me in my journey and hopefully nonjudgmental, i’ll only be the same for them. ❤

[@CambieSweets]

I disagree with Christians being held at a higher standard. It totally contradicts the fact that everyone are sinners and Christ died for your sins. Also, it’s perpetuates perfectionism which is impossible if Christ was the only perfect one. Also, it creates separation and hierarchy by believing you’re above anyone else. If you’re following Christ, there’s no need for hierarchies and labels.

[@iam_diaE]

​@@CambieSweetsMatthew 5:48 says, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." While no one is truly perfect, the verse calls us to strive for perfection-not as an impossible goal but as a way to align our lives with God’s Word and live righteously through His help. Perfection here means maturing spiritually and making the effort, with God’s strength, to reflect His character. You don’t need to see yourself as "above" anyone to know when something is wrong. Being true to yourself and having a strong moral foundation is enough to discern right from wrong. In the Bible, there’s a clear division between the righteous and the unbelievers-not to create hierarchy but to show the different paths people choose. Even Jesus said He didn’t come for the righteous but for sinners. This doesn’t downplay the value of righteousness but highlights His mission to call people to repentance and transformation. I believe that Christians striving to live Christ-like lives should be held to a higher standard-not because they are better than anyone, but because they’re actively trying to follow God’s will. They are called to be set apart, not comfortable in their sin. This isn’t about creating separation or hierarchies but about accountability. A genuine Christian life reflects the effort to live out God’s love and truth, which can inspire others without claiming superiority.

If you still feel like you want to get closer to God plz do you won't regret it. Learn God for yourself. You'd be surprised what you learn about the Bible and about yourself 😊. Eventually I hope to get back into church when the Lord leads me to and I hope you feel the same one day. P.s. I read two scriptures a day and one psalms. It eases me. It's just you and God, don't add outside noise ❤. God bless you❤❤❤❤❤.

Yes , there are some judgmental Christians but if someone is saying the truth and it’s “pushing you away” then maybe you need to look deeper into yourself .

Toni for the first time I dont agree with you. Amani maybe who she is but this time she's right...Incorporating younger generations doesn't mean mixing the two worlds. Christian music cannot future on such types of secular albums. People pretend Jesus is a peace and love hippie when he has written that he is not. He will condem and judge those who bear false witness, he is not "inclusive" ...he specifically went to those people to evangelize and convert them. Not use them to promo himself as more "acceptable". And tbh you can tell when something is genuinely Christian based on the world's reaction. The world does not love or support that which is truly holy... The world crucified Christ himself because he called out their sins..literally And people are being triggered by Amani because she reminds them of others who were mean to them back in the day so automatically they disagree with her.

[@B.Francis1]

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this! We are in the last days, Isaiah 5:20, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Some tend to forget the bible is not an easy book to swallow, Hebrew 4:12, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart". The truth cuts everyone, even the hearts of the Believers and those who were hurt by the church. Personally, it's a song that gives thanks for the blessing of her career. If we analyze her choices in her career path and how she came up, we can conclude it's not an example for newer Believers to look at (as she still will make more secular music) nor is this an example of what Believers should strive for. When Jesus talk/sit with sinners, was it not to transform their lives and for believing in their faith and ultimately further their repentance? Romans 12:2. Personally, it's a song that glorifies God on her worldly blessings and how grateful she is for it. It could also be interpreted to only see God as a being who showers you in blessings for being a sinner. Why would God want to get the praise for sins of the secular, fornication and profanity, etc. The song should make you repent, by being thankful for his grace and mercy. We should be analyzing how does God get the glory from this song, and how can she be a fisher of souls for the kingdom, not for the kingdom of darkness? Thanks for sharing, Shalom

Your comment is the essence of this conversation. Jesus Himself said if the world hates you, remember that they hated me first. These same people upset might’ve done worse than trying to stone Jesus. When you read what He says for what it is, it’s not “soft” at all. He serves hard truths but the way He said it brought people to Him because He was loving but most importantly because He was speaking of His own authority (given that He is God)

As a believer who grew up in church, strayed in my early twenties, and then returned, I’ve come to understand that Jesus has a standard in which we must live by. I’m unaware of the ladies mentioned in this video as I do not have TikTok, so I can’t speak to their walk. However, I can say that when I returned to the faith and began to seek Jesus for myself, I realized that a lot of things I got offended by or considered judgmental, were the standard in which He instructs us to live by, but I didn’t know until I started to study the Bible for understanding and interpret the scriptures in the proper context and not to simply fit the narrative I desired. Now, are there extremists, fire and brim stone teachings, and judgmental people in the faith? Of course, as I’m sure there are in other faiths. It’s not right and I’ve had to go to therapy to unpack some of those experiences. However, the fact remains that there is a standard in which we as believers must live by and that includes shedding the old man and old ways. It’s not easy. It’s not instant, but a lifelong journey. There are many who don’t want to give up the old, but try to live both and that is not the standard of Christ. This does not mean that you lack love and compassion towards others, especially those who may not subscribe to the faith, but you strive daily to live a life pleasing to the Lord and be an example of him in the earth. Just my take!

If only people could experience 5 minutes of what it is to not be with God, then "tone" is the least of their worries. Folks just refuse to admit that their demons inside, got agitated and they cried out against it. They also don't want to admit that they sometimes very very willingly put sin over God. But that makes them sound a certain way. I agree with Amani.

[@bebeth9833]

@@nigeltrotter2886 I said the exact same thing 🙏🏾

[@bizzybee9829]

Tone is very important when you are trying to win souls for Christ. Jesus didn’t use a harsh tone when he talked to sinners. Christians need to understand that sinners do not have to understanding that chastisement is good yet. Our goal is not to push people away and the wrong tone can go that.

[@nigeltrotter2886]

@bizzybee9829 How do you know Jesus didn't use a harsh tone with sinners. We have very limited examples of his entire life and for all you know he knew just like anybody knows, that sometimes a harsh tone is warranted. A soft tone isn't always the answer. Love isn't always gentle and way too many people don't realize that. At times love is chastisement. And a soft tone can be just as damaging as a harsh one. Only difference is people don't always come down on the person using a soft tone because they mistake a harsh one for "hate" all the time. A soft tone can lead someone to hell just as fast as any other.

[@bizzybee9829]

@nigeltrotter2886 That is why Jesus used Parables when teaching. It was esier for people to understand and it wasn't singling out one person in the crowd that he spoke to. God knows we are human and that we get defensive when people talk at us instead of to us. For example, if someone came to a person struggling with the sin of fornication and they say "You need to stop fornicating, you are living in sin, God is not please with you, you are going to go to hell if you don't stop." They would be correct, pre marital sex it is unpleasing to God.To someone who is further in their walk with Christ this may be well received but, to somone who has just started, this could be hurtful and may stunt their growth. Not everyone can handle harsh words. The truth doesn't always have to be harsh and direct. But what if we were to say, "Hey, I hope you know that God loves you. I rember when I was living in sin, those were the words were something I needed to hear the most. I let the enemy convince me that because I was a sinner God did not want me when in reality He did. I just had to come to Him and ask for help. I use to use sex as a way to define my self worth but God showed me that fornication is wrong. I wasn't just sinning against God but against myself.1 Corinthians chapter 6 really helped me to know my self worth. I empoly you to read it some times. My favorite part is at the end in verse 20 where it says that God brought us. He paid for us with the blood of Jesus Christ. Meaning our bodies are sacred, they are temples for the Holy Ghost.Everyone does not deserve to have access to our bodies. I pray that you keep this in your heart and mind. God loves you and you are worthy of his love." This message is still the same but is more positive and encouraging. The messager relates it back to themselves letting the sinner know that they are not to only one to struggle with that sin and that it is possible to over come. Yes , we are supposed to call each other out but some people forget the in love part and their words are more condemning than acknowledging and encouraging. People forget to encourage and give people hope.

[@nigeltrotter2886]

@bizzybee9829 And that is the same thing as was said before. Yeah, everyone having this conversation knows that sometimes a softer approach is what's needed. I never said it wasn't. We both know that Jesus, at times, used a softer approach. But as you've said, yourself, SOMETIMES a softer approach is what's needed. Okay, well if sometimes the approach should be soft, then what does that mean for the other times? Yeah, sometimes a more direct and harsh approach is needed too, but folks refuse to accept that fact and it is a fact. Just as Jesus had a soft approach at times, he also had a way more direct, harsh approach as well. A harsh approach also can come from a loving place. And just like you have personal testimony, so do I and I can tell you from first hand, that some people need a firm hand and a harsh approach to correction. I see it in me and I've seen it in many many others in my lifetime too. Like I said before harsh doesn't automatically mean hate. Sometimes it just the opposite. It can mean love too and some folks need that.

The idea is to lead people to God and Jesus so that they do eventually follow and Know Him, and have a relationship with him. You can't just expect people to just drop everything at once for an unfamiliar type of life. They need to slowly become accustomed and gracefully change.

[@aintshecool]

I, for once, do not agree with this message. Like most comments, I am of the belief that being a Christian means changing your worldly ways in order to a live a life more akin to that which God wants, not what WE want. We have to remember what we are listening to and watching DOES have deeper meaning. It’s programming. The Bible teaches us that words have meaning and can speak things into existence. I can’t tell you how many songs I have sung a thousand times, knew them word-for-word, but never actually analyzed what I was listening to or reciting out loud. There’s so much hidden in music, movies, and television. Just because you’re called to remove secular music from your playlist or worldly behaviors from your life, doesn’t mean God doesn’t want you to “have fun” anymore. And that’s the message Amani is trying to get across.

[@ToniBryanneTV]

I’m so confused on how my message was misinterpreted. You are very much correct, but my journey is MY journey and other people’s journey is THEIRS. I literally said changing your ways is a part of growing a relationship with God, but people are at different stages of their personal changes and shouldn’t be judged for that. It takes work and time. All I said was give grace to those learning and trying.

personally, i read the lyrics to Glo’s song (was NOT listening to it) and it is EXTREMELY problematic. she literally says that she’s God’s favorite or something and the bible tells us God has no respect of persons (no favorites) it is THAT deep and it is THAT serious ESPECIALLY because the youth are listening to the music and are being TRICKED into thinking they can believe in God but also dwell in sin. it’s not okay at all. it just shows the youth that Christians and the world can co-exist and collaborate and live in “harmony” when that is NOT the case. word says if you love the WORLD, you obviously CANNOT love Jesus. yes we are meant to have compassion and understanding but dwelling within the midst of the dark valley does NOT benefit you (especially when you’ve done it on your own accord). “Lean not on your own understanding, but with all your heart trust the Lord.” Proverbs 3:5

Personally I’ve been listening to old school gospel music and hymns. Apparently now days the gospel music of today has become to worldly for me, it got to the point the gospel singer are even afraid to say the name of God in their song, they afraid to say “ Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim”. It’s easy to say “God” but we must keep in mind that there are many “Gods” out here in this world, but our God has a name and it’s been said in the Bible. So whenever I see gospel singer collaborations with popular artists, I just know it’s not a worship song, but a “Feel good song”.

I will gladly share my humble opinion.🙇🏿‍♀️ Those christian "mean girls" are 100% correct. They weren't mean. They spoke about the truth addressing fellow christians. It might not sit well with everybody and that is because they love the Lord, but they love the world too. Secular entertainment, pagan holidays, modern mindsets, spirtualism etc., all go against God. We know satan is the prince of this world, and he will do anything to ensure that christians are distracted, worried, or occupied, so we do not have enough time or the energy to build a serious and intimate relationship with God. We become too concerned with fitting in or following/discussing the next hot topic of this world and neglect our relationship with Jesus, and at the same time we are condemning those that what to do everything accourding to the Book, as Jesus commands us to do. My beloved sister, you see this is why it is not possible to serve two lords. You can't love Jesus and the things of this world too and become upset if a sister is trying to warn you to stop listing to Beyonce or to stop watching demonic movies for example. I pray that you understand this. If you don’t, that’s okay, because I was once there too. What matters is that you don’t look at or focus on what christians - that are still living in sin are - doing. Take notes from those that are trying to obey God the right way. Better yet, focus on what God Himself has done while He was on earth. Yes, Jesus went to the temple, Jesus studied scriptures, He spoke about God with unbelievers, He distanced Himself to pray etc. He did all these things in this world, but He never became like the people of the world. He wasn't busy with building an earthly kingdom. He always spoke about the things that are in Heaven, because this world shall perish. So to close, add the things that Jesus did in your life, and little by little God will reveal the rest to you. Stay in faith, and God bless you sister 🫂💕

Tbh Christianity is very touchy because often people tend to forget it is both based on balancing obedience to God's way of living and relationship with Him. Living by just mainly obedience can pull you to be more harsh and living as if you are a puppet by the means of do this or you die while just only focusing mainly on relationship (not reading the word enough) can make you believe that you can do certain things that are wrong in the eyes of the Lord but lead by the saying God knows my heart. No one is absolutely perfect but it's also important that we all have compassion for each other. As someone who grew up in church I didn't fully understood a lot until I was like 19/20 years of age and still learning as I got older and more mature in faith. Overall we are to judge righteously but to love one another in the process of it all.

People think that Christianity is about peace and love but Jesus clearly said himself on Luke about bringing division or separation: “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” - Luke 12:51-53 (NIV) Here, Jesus emphasizes that following Him may bring conflict even within families including friends , as people make individual choices about faith and allegiance. His message calls for a commitment that can sometimes lead to separation among those with differing beliefs.

You wanna sin, but be blessed. You wanna sin but go to heaven. You want God's salvation but telling God how He should give it to you, lol. You wanna have your cake and eat it too. The Bible said only a few will enter heaven because God knows the majority of the world won't walk a righteous path because it ain't easy. It sounds harsh, but if you're going to believe in the Bible, believe in it entirely, not just cherry-pick verses. Everybody loves John 3:16 and thinks that's it.

We aren’t used to differentiating between judgmental and holding people accountable/accountability. Those that disagree with Imani are normally just lukewarm Christians so they justify the collab between Glorilla and Maverick. I don’t think her delivery is bad either.

Not to mention, Catholicism IS the true Christian faith because it is literally the original form of Christianity. We constantly have reforms, it's the only faith with eucharist, we have confessionals for people who are in desperate need of speaking out about their guilty sins and in my experience, priests really do go in depth with their sermons. So in your mind, what EXACTLY is the problem? Because most complaints i've heard is either false information, or people unwilling to realise they're the ones who are making excuses for their actions and behaviour.

I don't find the clip with Amani to be judgemental, I think shes being passionate and nothing's wrong with that. I didnt hear anything judgemental in that clip. How can people claim to be followers of Christ but we're never supposed to speak against things that aren't right, of course you can do that without being mean about it. I don't listen to glorilla so i dont know her music, I think God can definitely use any situation to help people. She's not wrong in saying people shouldn't practice sin because we're "forgiven" that's taking grace for granted. For the woman in the clip towards the end if you're living the opposite of Christ then how can you be a "better" believer? Idk. Technically we all make mistakes, we're all technically sinners. I don't believe we can ever speak about sin without people claiming it's judgement. I haven't heard any person say secular music brought them to Christ, I just haven't heard it. But I'm not saying its impossible. With Christ anything is possible. Jesus didn't hang out with "sinners" for fun, he did it because he was on a mission to call people to repentance, yes to show love but he wasn't doing it for no reason, he was saving people. The whole point of being made new/born again is that you can be a stripper in the past and now speak about Jesus and righteousness, I don't think it's right to say "you were this in the past , you can't say anything now". Wouldn't that show that God can change anyone's heart? I think that's kinda the point.

[@DomanekMarie]

I’m at 33 minutes and 45 seconds. I understand what you’re saying about coming off judgmental to non-believers. However, it’s important to understand the context and Amani‘s audience. Who is Amani speaking to in that video about GloRilla. That video is for believers therefore it’s putting a demand on believers to grow in maturity from their past lives. There are some of us who are called to evangelize and reach the unbelievers and there are some of us who have been raised up to mature the body of Christ. I think that’s important to note. Based on her testimony it seems that that may be where the Lord has placed her intentionally. Since she has a prodigal daughter testimony or story, the Lord is most likely going to use her experience and convictions to teach and share with other prodigal daughters and sons. Being a person who has walked away from God is different from a person who has never believed in God so we have to assess what she is saying based on who she is speaking to.

[@madeyoulook5122]

I’m confused. The Bible tells us to not only judge a righteous judgement, but it also lets us know that we cannot serve two masters. The Bible never mentioned that we are NOT supposed to judge. Jesus said judge and be judged and make sure the plank is out of your eye. Meaning, before you pass judgement, examine yourself. And if you must, judge others according to his word. Not your own biases. Of course there’s mean, hypocritical Christian people and God will deal with those accordingly. But let’s not twist the word to make it align with our lifestyle. Jesus rubbed shoulders with sinners so they could see the glory of God and be forever changed. It is true that the Bible says that the bad can corrupt the good. Look at Kirk Franklin. God talks about being in the world but not of it. The problem is people are too sensitive and when the word hits you, you’re not really mad at the person that shared the gospel. You’re actually mad at the word because it brings a light to your sin and what you’re struggling to give up. Amani’s words aren’t harsh. It’s the conviction of the word that’s got people bothered. The Bible talks about dying to yourself. And how do we do that? We give up the old man and become a new creation. Everyone loves to say that they’re on their own journey. Jesus was the perfect example of how to live this life as a follower of God. If he is the blueprint of how your walk should look, how can you then say your walk should be different? If we are born sinners, turned children of God in the body of Christ, how is anyone’s journey different from another’s? I grew up in church, fell off, saw church hurt, and then got into new age. It took me bumping my head 100 times for me to come back to God. But not in the way that I knew as a child. I learned that it’s not about being religious but it’s about having that relationship with the most high. Living your life according to the Bible is not religious or judgey. It’s called walking a narrow path. God doesn’t want us to be some-timey with him because he’s not some-timey with us 🙏🏽✨.

I have mixed feelings about it. Some people are judgemental then some people are called judgemental for talking about the truth/Gospel which is what we're called to do as believers and that isn't the equivalent to judging people. For the most part most Christians influencers that I see are normal, they speak against things that go against Christ without trying to condemn people. Talking about things that go against Christ will always cause people to feel uncomfortable regardless of how empathetic they approach the topic. There will always be people regardless of beliefs that will be very quick to speak and judge others. Obviously if someone is a new Christian they're still gonna do things that seem to not line up with God's morals, they are still learning. Your relationship with Christ should not be affected by other people, don't depend on other people for how you feel about Jesus. Your faith shouldn't be influenced by anyone else because people will always disappoint you, we're humans all flawed. The only one influencing your faith the most and your decisions should be the Lord and Scripture. 🤍🖤✝️

I dated a Christian guy who I met at youth group. I only saw him a few times at youth group before he asked for my number. We talked over text for a week and then he asked to date me over text. No one had ever shown interest in me like that before and I thought he was nice so I said yes. At first I thought he was perfect for me but slowly realized that him and his family were VERY judgmental and unaccepting of my family apparently being less Christian than them. My family believes in God but it’s harder for us to go to church every Sunday and stuff like that. For the 11 months that we dated all he did was try to change everything about me and basically told me all the time that I would go to hell if I didn’t change everything about myself. He would use Christianity as a way to manipulate and control me. So I did change for awhile and tried to be a Christian girl. He made me lose all of my friends because he was so jealous of me talking to anyone other than him. He made me only listen to Christian music and watch Christian movies. I hated it. I tried to pretend for as long as I could because I felt stuck. I felt like there was no way out of the relationship. He made me feel like if I left him I would be nothing and God wouldn’t love me. He told me I would go to hell for listening to secular music and watching secular shows/movies and not going to church every Sunday, but him being judgmental, completely controlling, disrespecting my family, constantly telling me I wasn’t good enough, making me do sexual things and then telling me that I would go to hell after (even tho he was the one that wanted it), causing so much drama with my family, and making me not be able to go to youth group anymore was completely ok in his eyes. Also his parents were completely ok with him treating my family and I like that. Now I struggle so much with Christianity and dating. I believe in God, but I learned the hard way that there are Christian’s that use Christianity to control and get what they want. I know that not all Christians are like that but I haven’t been to church since we broke up and I don’t think I will go to youth group again after that. After we broke up I found out that he was going to the church that’s closest to my house so I can’t go because I don’t want to risk seeing him. And he probably shit talked to everyone at church about my family and I. Now I’m just trying to focus on building better friendships with my friends and family. I’m rediscovering my love for music, movies, shows, and different hobbies that he wouldn’t let me enjoy.

The Bible speaks about being “lukewarm” in the Book of Revelation, where Jesus addresses the church in Laodicea: “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” - Revelation 3:15-16 (NIV) In this passage, “lukewarm” describes a state of spiritual indifference or complacency. Jesus rebukes the Laodicean church for being neither passionately committed (“hot”) nor openly opposed (“cold”) but instead occupying a middle, indifferent ground. This lukewarm state implies a lack of conviction, which Jesus finds unacceptable, urging believers to pursue an active, committed faith. This message is often interpreted as a call for Christians to wholeheartedly commit to their faith rather than live with a half-hearted or indifferent attitude. It encourages believers to avoid apathy, fully engage in their relationship with God, and live out their beliefs with sincerity and passion.

Amen 🙏

16:39 also someone who’s religious here and been married since I was 17. (Roughly 2 years) a man of religion is STILL not a perfect man .. marriage is for growing with your spouse not a “come up” so doing all these charades for a man is insane

[@Bshay55]

In all honesty this exactly how the enemy attacks by disguising certain things as “fun” or “not that deep”… The movie Halloween town is a kids movie and I thought it was innocent until I saw they had a pentagram in the movie and demonic symbolism. God wants us to have fun and enjoy life, he gave us life, but there is a reason why it says in the bible Mathew 7:13 The path to Hell is wide and many people choose that way but the path to the kingdom is narrow and difficult, and only a few ever find it. A lot of times we shrug off certain things for the sake of fun, cause it feels good to the flesh. But a lot of what feels good to the flesh isn’t good for the spirit. Best thing to do is use discernment and ask God for clarity 🙏🏽

[@Ashley-xi6rd]

But if you believe the Lord can do good works through anything and everything for His glory, then you're actually speaking against that. The idea is to lead people to God and Jesus so that they do eventually follow and Know Him, and have a relationship with him. You can't just expect people to just drop everything at once for an unfamiliar type of life. They need to slowly become accustomed and gracefully change. You need to stop judging those that are just trying to help make more disciples. You're speaking against your own scripture.

[@halisaj]

Arianna spoke from her personal views she said “I” majority of her videos.. why are people offended?!!?. I’m so confused about this video Toni is also giving lukewarm. y’all need to read the bible the wrath of God ain’t nothing to play with. Luke 14:28-33. 2 Chronicles 20:35-37, Matthew 7:15-20, John 7:24, Proverbs 12:1, Proverbs 15:32, Proverbs 9:8.

[@ToniBryanneTV]

Thank you for watching! It’s okay if you think I give lukewarm😂 my relationship with God is MY relationship and I’m okay if that’s your belief. Be blessed🫶🏽

You’re definitely welcome! same thing applies to the ladies in the video & what you think/your opinions to theirs 🫶🏾

[@lovelykid4868]

I usually agree with the content but this whole video was a miss , calling people mean and judgmental while they are preaching the truth and not sugar coating ACTUALLY saving souls while you make a hour long video being actually judgmental calling it commentary smh at least the comments have sense

[@ToniBryanneTV]

It is commentary and sharing my opinions lol. The fact that was your only take from the video when I took time to share MY story as well is laughable. It’s very much okay if you don’t agree lol. The video was meant to start a conversation whether you like that conversation or not.

[@BibleBible-q7z]

The problem is people need to pull these bible scriptures up and stop talking their own way also they need to walk it as well. I have talked about this on my channel. True Christians are calling this mess out, because God can see who is for him and who is not for him and we true Christians can discern it as well.

[@notionwithdomonique]

This exactly.

[@ciarraleone2040]

As a believer no one should have that type of power to turn you away from God. You’re not doing it for man. Try a Megan Ashley, Jackie Hill Perry, Priscilla Shirer. The Bible is the way and we cannot change that.

i’ll have to disagree with your argument about having Gospel singers on her album to save lives. Amani’s delivery was wrong, but her message was absolutely right ! there is a small potential that it could lead someone to listen to gospel music, but it’s something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. it’s just causing confusion. people who listen to the whole album, are listening to 14 songs that glorify sin, & 1 song that is holy.. i was watching Nick Jones video on KZbin (check him out) , and he gave his great example on how this is no different than living and sin 6 days a week, then going to church on Sunday to live holy for a day, then back to sinning the rest of the week. this whole collaboration is pushing a lukewarm agenda, making people believe that it’s ok to love sin & God. ““I know what you do. You are not hot or cold. I wish that you were hot or cold! But you are only warm-not hot, not cold. So I am ready to spit you out of my mouth.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ERV‬‬ “Yes, it would be better for them to have never known the right way. That would be better than to know the right way and then to turn away from the holy teaching that was given to them.”‭- 2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭21‬ ‭ERV‬‬ so, just like it would have been better to be a nonbeliever, and never known the truth, than to know the truth, but still live for world.. it would have been better for that 1 collaboration to never been on the album, than to have a little bit of light, mix with darkness. “You are not the same as those who don’t believe. So don’t join yourselves to them. Good and evil don’t belong together. Light and darkness cannot share the same room.”- ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬ ‭ERV‬‬ you can have discernment, & tell that the agenda wasn’t to win lost souls by collaborating, but to just have a hit song by having a different type of audience listening to it. your argument about how Jesus hung with sinners, isn’t the same with this either. He never encouraged their sin. if Kirk Franklin was ministering to Glorilla, And telling her more about God, and righteously judging, that would’ve been totally different and wonderful. but what was happening was them coming into an agreement with each other.. Kirk was encouraging her, instead of correcting out of love, so those are completely different scenarios.

My biggest issue with “Christian influencers” is the constant hypocrisy and exploitation of Christianity for views. It’s very manipulative and not an accurate representation of what True Christianity is.

[@odeyemipelumi6296]

At 30:57, and I don’t think Armani said anything wrong. You are right too. But you being right doesn’t negate the fact that what Armani said about Christian musicians collaborating with raunchy musicians. She wasn’t judgemental, she said the truth. Your analogy of Jesus hanging out with sinners, is really besides the point because you make it look like Jesus wasn’t there to tell them that He is the way to eternal life. Some of these people invited Jesus to their homes, when they sensed the light. Those that receive the Light like Magdalene had a full turn around. She was not a Christian by day and went about her prostitution shift at night. Don’t be dumb! Don’t be deceived. It is important for Christian musicians to be discerning, not do features because of marketing and being acceptable by a lot of people. We are just vessels and God Himself does His work. On Armani, God will continue to help her from inside out and also help her grow in boldness to speak the truth of God’s word. To me, even though she comes off as someone that responds sharply, or rudely, she seem to really has the desire to be right with God. And may God help her and work through her. About her content, it is not only marriage she talk about, she also spoke about not idolizing marriage. Do your research! As to you, continue your walk with God. God will work through you too. You judge as someone that believes you have to help God to do His work. God through the Holy Spirit does His work on earth. The written word of God is a guide too. Not surprised your argument was marketing-centered, that is marketing to the younger generation. Above all, May God help us all as we draw closer to Him!

[@odeyemipelumi6296]

I am at 46:46 , and the pretty fair lady didn’t say anything wrong. She mentioned the names of the artists . These artists sing songs that are against our faith as Christians! Why would you want to listen to that? Let us get the point and stop over analyzing what secular music is. She was specific about what aspect of secular music she was talking about by mentioning artists names. These artists she mentioned don’t honor God, they mock the faith, they sing songs edifying living in sin and dishonor, no regard whatsoever for their body. They sell music and body. I want to ask you, do you serve God or you are here to serve your subscribers and seem right in their Face, be so acceptable to them?

[@odeyemipelumi6296]

At 50:56 , nothing wrong in protecting yourself from the demonic if you sense that it could be demonic or it is demonic. Did you not read in your bible that the kingdom of God is like a priced treasure dug in the ground and when a man finds it , he sold all he had to buy this treasure[ one of the parables of Jesus). Please who then after selling after he or she has, to get a treasure, won’t guide it? In fact, they would create a fence around it. Because the devil knows how precious the treasure is, he doesn’t mind killing the man. The devil will not sit and think and then pity the man because he has sold everything he ever had to get this treasure. It is not okay to watch these horrors movies. They can act as channels to your life, and your home. Be vigilant! These actors and actresses can be channels for this demonic spirits.

[@victoria586]

@45:30 Imma have to disagree with you there. YES YOU CAN change who you’re going to listen to. To me you’re just making up an excuse no hate or disrespect or trying to start an argument. 2 years ago I got Baptized again and from then I deleted all of my secular music that I had downloaded and went on Spotify and looked up Christian rnb and rap. As well as listening to my sister’s Christian music (Thank God for my sister for helping me change my life for Christ) and it took me while to get used to it but then I realized the songs are the same as secular music same beat same rhythm same everything except the lyrics that’s it. So basically it all depends on you and how serious you are in devoting your life to Christ. I’m not saying I’m perfect for that but it’s all about effort and determination about changing your ways.

[@ToniBryanneTV]

I think I said that though. I said it takes time for some people versus others. All I said is there isn’t a time frame to breaking away from sin.

[@SpiritSoulSense]

My goodness. I learned so much. Thank you for putting this all together!

[@ToniBryanneTV]

You are so welcome! So glad you found it helpful 😊

[@jaywilliams4846]

That’s why I always say that there’s a difference between being a Christian and a follower of Christ. Christianity is solely based on your beliefs. Being a follower of Christ is based not only on your beliefs, but your RELATIONSHIP with Christ! Therefore, not every Christian is a follower or Christ, but every follower of Christ is a Christian ❤

[@WitchNamedShay]

Amani is genuine. Her platform was famous and lucrative before she announced her faith … so I don’t think her practice is for profit. I’m also at this point in life too.

[@MofetoluwaAjayi]

Toni Bryanne it’s pretty wrong of you to have the “Girl Defined” ladies on your video’s thumbnail when they in no way relate to this conversation. Especially when you have the phrase “Mean Girl Christian” in your title. This is very distasteful and malicious

[@pikachudemsy9751]

Ayyy man, by picking apart what Amani said aren’t YOU JUDGING YOURSELF? No man I’m genuinely so disappointed. This entire video was you sitting here and judging another Christian woman. Both of you are influencers if you cared so much you’d try to approach her personally. You took an opportunity to put her down for a bag and that’s the plain truth. The Bible doesn’t teach us to address problems like this.

[@lesego.1995]

I'm glad someone said it.

[@bluetteworld]

im so sad bc now i have to unfollow Toni. Just making this video about Amani is bullying to me and i cant endorse it by following her +helping her make money off of bullying someone

[@ToniBryanneTV]

@@pikachudemsy9751 so apparently I’m judging her by saying I enjoy her content?? Hmmmm interesting. this is a commentary channel so thoughts WILL be shared but I make sure to do so by being respectful. I never judged either of these women AT ALL. Crazy you think I’m doing it for a “bag”😂 this isn’t even a video I thought would do “numbers”. I did it because it has been sitting on my heart for some time. Now you go be blessed.

[@ToniBryanneTV]

And you get on this high horse and say this when you’ve left mean comments on my channel before. Wrong person to try: just to let you know KZbin keeps track of ALL comments and I see exactly what you say. Keep it cute.

i’m so glad you made this video! ❤️❤️

[@ToniBryanneTV]

I am too!😭 It had to be said.

[@JulianSteve]

I’m so happy that you made this video! I believe in God, but my family makes it apparent that I am not really Christian. It has to do with me being too progressive, not attending church, and not reading the Bible. Then, we have to add the toxic Christians in real life, and online questioning peoples’ faiths. At this point, I am just chilling. P.S. - I’m surprised that you didn’t mentioned Kelly Stamps. She’s a mean girl Christian and a lot of her followers condone her behavior. I made a video about her and her followers were not content😅…

[@123paramorefan]

kelly stamps is absolutely apart of this!!!! in such a huge huge way - made a new channel and pivoted HARD.
