The message in the video above will sound right to most of us, even many Christians, but it is, at it’s root, a humanist, evolutionary, anti-Christian message that promotes self-salvation. This video wonderfully depicts just how easy it is to slip from a Biblical worldview to a faith perspective promoted by the world to glorify the world.
First off, the video is terrific. It’s interesting, it’s fun, and it’s been produced very well. In other words, it’s attractive. Even without hearing the content, one would be easily drawn into the message being delivered simply because of the visual narration.
Secondly, nearly everything the lecturer states sounds right if you’re not listening closely. Even from a Christian perspective, it seems perfectly reasonable that God would have wired us to empathize with each other, share in each others struggles, and intend for empathy to be a foundational element of doing life together amongst believers and non-believers alike. But if you accept that premise, what else have you accepted? Or more to the point, what have you rejected? Only that at man’s core is a sinful nature, and thus man’s need for a Savior, as well as God Himself. That’s quite a lot to cast aside, but that exactly what you’re doing the moment you start buying into the message that this video is delivering.
There’s nothing new here. It’s an old message wrapped in a shiny, contemporary package. The message is – there’s nothing that exists outside of what has evolved, we are in control of our own fate, we can be own savior or we can destroy ourselves, etc. It all sounds wonderful, but it’s not Biblical.
