Street Preachers on Youtube

Dustofyears wrote:Have no idea how my feed suddenly got flooded with them, but just today I have been flooded with these heinous Christian videos of these street preachers that seem to go right out of their way to provoke people then call them all kinds of names after they do so then have the cheek to say they are demon possessed... it seems these street preachers are doing it more for views like everyone else... to make matters worse all their fans are like glory to god and "look how angry and upset they get you can see the demons in them manifesting and all this other crap...

One manic street Preacher (did you catch that) called this muscle bound guy that just dressed nicely "effeminate" and was lucky he still had teeth in his loud mouth preachy face frankly. Then as he is walking away kept calling him effeminate and sinner and and all this other stuff after he had provoked him...what do you guys make of this... trend?

I am just wondering if you guys have watched them and what you think...are you with for it or against it... from where I stand it does nothing but turn people away even more...

You might want to check out Cliffe Knechtle.   He is Senior Pastor at Grace Community Church in New Canaan, Connecticut, and he is also dedicated to open air preaching and apologetics.   He spends a lot of time at university campuses answering tough questions from faculty and students about issues of faith and Jesus Christ.

I used to go out with him as part of an evangelism team years ago when he would spend summers in my city.  He's also a really great, super-friendly and respectful guy who has written a couple of books.  And I had the opportunity to explain to him the basics of Christian heavy metal, because back them he didn't know anything about it but wanted to.

oh yeeaaah Ray comfort. He comes from my side of the pond. Not one word he utters is original thought. It's all recycled junk, but at least he's amiable enough as a person. However he is nowhere near as bad as these people I am talking about. I should post a video but it does have bad language and I don't know what the rules here about that are when it comes to posting videos with bad language etc.

If a person set up a table and offered to talk to anyone interested in learning about Christ, that’s way more effective. 

I think some of these loud confrontational preachers get off on making a spectacle. It’s almost a performance art deal.

Agree. Performance art is what it is becoming thanks to platforms like YouTube and like I said "Likes" and "favs" and "ratings" now religion can go full retard mode more than ever before and people get angry at them they point and say "look at their demons"

Ugh call me triggered must be demon possessed~!

Making someone mad on purpose and then saying "look how mad they are! Isn't this awful" is top-tier butthead activity
