To the so-called Christians attacking me & my family

When the rain starts falling, it's too late.
It's too late.
Hi folks, I am the shameless berg.
I hope you're doing well today.
So today I am addressing the nominal Christians who are involved in the slander, doxing, harassment campaign, and who continually make sure to keep this whole issue fresh and at the forefront of everyone's minds.
And you call yourselves Christians.
I just want to address you today.
And now, look, I know that a lot of people who hate me are completely godless.
You're not the ones that I'm appealing to right now.
It's the people that claim to believe in Jesus.
And it's the people that claim to believe in the gospel.
And it's the people who claim to believe that Paul was a good man and an apostle.
So let's get into it.
I have some notes prepared and some Bible passages set aside to discuss this issue.
So a lot of you nominal Christians treat me and my family worse than the real Christians in the book of Acts treated Paul, who literally had Christians rounded up and killed.
He would go on to pin a significant portion of the New Testament you claim to believe in.
So let's have a look at the account of Paul on the road to Damascus to round up more Christians to persecute.
So if you have your Bible, go over to Acts chapter 7, verses 51 through 60.
All right.
Acts 7, 51 through 60.
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost.
As your fathers did, so do ye.
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
And they have slain them, which showed before of the coming of the just one, of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by the disposition of angels and have not kept it.
When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.
Then they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and ran upon him with one accord and cast him out of the city and stoned him.
And the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.
And when he had said this, he fell asleep, which is to say he died.
Going over here, that was the end of the chapter.
So let's start chapter 8, the book of Acts, chapter 8.
And Saul was consenting unto his death.
And at that time, there was a great persecution against the church, which was at Jerusalem.
And they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation over him.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hailing men and women, committed them to prison.
So let's hop on over to Acts chapter 9.
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues that if he found any of this way, when it says this way here, it's talking about Christians.
One of the terms that was used to refer to them in the early days was the way, the people of the way.
So this is what he was talking about here, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven, and he fell to the earth, and they heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
It's really significant, by the way, that he says Lord right here, because in him saying it, he goes ahead and affirms his identity as Lord.
It's an admission just through saying, Who art thou, Lord?
And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.
It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks, that is the goats, okay?
You know, he's being goaded spiritually, and he's just kicking against it, okay?
And he, trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
And Saul arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man, but they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
And he was there three days without sight, and neither did he eat nor drink.
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias.
And to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias.
And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the street which is called Strait, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus.
For behold, he prayeth, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him that he might receive his sight.
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
And here he hath authority from the chief priest to bind all that call on thy name.
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, for he is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.
For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
And Ananias went his way and entered into the house, and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales, and he received sight forthwith, and arose and was baptized.
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened.
Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus, and straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues that he is the Son of God.
But all that heard him were amazed and said, Is this not he that destroyed them, which called on his name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
But Saul increased the more in strength and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
And after that, many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
But their laying await was known of Saul, and they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
Then the disciples took him by night and let him down by the wall in a basket.
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples, but they were all afraid of him and believed not that he was a disciple.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way and that he had spoken to him and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the Grecians, but they went about to slay him.
Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria and were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplied.
So as we see here, he was pretty readily received, okay, after his campaign of rounding up Christians to be persecuted and killed.
The text doesn't suggest that he necessarily was the one killing them, but it is clear that he was approving of the killing of Christians, and it is clear that he was involved in this persecution and bringing them in to be killed.
And so much so that the churches knew this about him.
He had a reputation, so you know, when they see him coming, they're like, Oh, great, you know, here he comes.
This is this is no good.
And yet, you know, when he you know, shared his testimony, he shared his story, and he told of his turn to his faith in Jesus Christ, he was pretty well received after that.
You know, I'm sure that they had a little bit of a side eye at the guy, I mean, who wouldn't, right?
But the point is, after all of this destruction, um, after his zeal for destroying, they received him and he went on to do great things.
And as this passage here tells, I mean, churches were multiplied out of it.
And he went on to pen a really big chunk of the New Testament that you people love so much, or you say you do.
You cherry-pick out of it because there's some nice-sounding stuff for sure.
Um, but the fact of the matter is, the guy was having Christians killed, lots of them, okay?
And we just sort of accept that and we just go on with it.
But what about the church back then?
You know, they had to look at this guy that they knew was persecuting Christians and gave him a chance.
You know, they gave him a chance to preach, to teach, to work on behalf of the Lord.
And they clearly had faith that God was going to do something with him.
And I just have to wonder, um, maybe like maybe if I had killed somebody, you would treat me better than this.
Um, you seem to be more perturbed by my creation of videos than by the fact that Paul was having Christians killed.
All right, um, somehow you think that it's worth all of this condemnation.
You know, I came and I declared to the world, for those who were actually listening, when I uploaded my testimony, that I was changing course, okay?
That I was turning to my faith and that I found my faith irreconcilable with the worldview that I had espoused for a while with national socialism.
I know some people insist that you can reconcile the two, but I really just don't think you can.
And so, you know, I make this testimony, I tell, you know, my story starting back from when I was a kid and a teenager up to the present, and declared my intent to just turn back to my faith and to focus on that.
You know, I don't expect that to just make people go away and disappear, but I would expect people who are, you know, nominal Christians, people that claim to be Christian, to not be so zealously involved in trying to completely destroy me and my family.
That's it's really astounding to me.
And to be involved in so much gossip and slander and defamation and fabrications, things I never actually said, okay, things I never said, things I never did.
And you feel, I guess, justified in doing so.
And I just have to wonder why.
So let's hop on over.
This is a really great passage.
Over here, go Genesis chapter 50, verse 20, especially.
But as for you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good to bring to pass as it is in this day to save much people alive.
And so I just want to say to you that you mean all of this for my evil.
You mean this for the destruction of me and my family.
And it's not going to turn out that way.
All right.
You mean it for my evil.
God means it for my good.
He's going to take this whole situation and he's going to use it to edify others and he's going to use it to increase glory to his name.
And, you know, for that matter, you know, if you guys are going to keep paying so much attention to me, I don't really understand why.
Well, then, you know, hear me out then.
Listen to the Bible.
Listen to what it has to say.
How do you feel like it checks out against your attitude and behavior?
You know, I've already come out and said, Look, I'm changing course because I just don't feel like when I turn my faith to Jesus Christ, um, and I step away from the things I was doing before, and you just don't seem to care.
And that's fine, I guess, but at least at least look at this, at least take account of it.
I mean, if you value your faith, you value the Bible, you claim to believe in it.
Well, you have to understand that what you're doing is wicked, and you have to understand that it's completely blown out of proportion.
It's not like I killed someone, yeah.
Yeah, you know, supposing I had, would you embrace me the way they embraced Paul?
I mean, what would it take, right?
Is it that videos are completely unacceptable, like videos with offensive opinions?
That's just beyond the pale.
But Paul, you know, he could have Christians rounded up and killed and then be embraced.
Yeah.
And then go on to pin a significant chunk of the New Testament.
You know, I don't understand.
I get that my content has been offensive.
You know, I can't feel that sorry about it.
I mean, like, get so?
So what?
I mean, have you been on the internet?
My God.
The things that you'll see, just hop on X. Go look at some political posts and within five minutes, you'll see stuff that makes your toes curl.
Okay.
Go online and look at all sorts of dissident content.
You'll see that a lot of mine has been pretty metered by comparison.
It's been pretty tame by comparison.
And yet you guys have just blown this out of proportion to staggering degrees.
I mean, it's actually surreal to me.
But yeah, I just want to let you know that you mean all of this for my evil, but God means it for my good.
And that's how this is going to work.
He's going to take this because I turned to my faith in him and I lift myself and my family in this whole situation up to him and I trust him with it.
I'm telling you right now, you mean it for my evil, but God means it for my good.
Okay.
He means it for my good and things are not going to pan out the way that you want them to.
You're not going to break up my family.
You're not going to break up our household.
Okay.
On your little self-righteous crusade.
Like here we have in Jeremiah chapter 29, verse 11.
This is a beautiful verse, but it definitely applies here.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Now, look, I mean, if you're actually a believer, even if you're kind of off track and you're acting horrible in this situation, you know, he means that to you too.
I mean, that verse is yours as much as it is mine.
But the point is, is that it is mine.
That is a verse for me.
And I'm going to lay claim to that.
No matter how you feel about it, I'm going to lay claim to that.
It's completely outrageous, the things that have happened.
And I just want you to think about that.
You know, you guys want me and my family to suffer and split up just for videos I made, but you do not understand that God has other plans for me and my family.
Plans which you will see play out in real time.
Like he said, you know, here in Jeremiah 29, 11.
So throughout this whole ordeal, I have seen who are real Christians and who are not.
For the real Christians, I am heartily thankful.
For the others, why don't you go and try to justify your actions to God?
Tell him what a good and righteous Christian you are for wanting to destroy someone's life over videos.
Tell him how much holier you are than me because you called for a home to be broken up because of videos that offended you that you didn't have to watch.
I didn't send them to you.
I didn't even want you to watch them, but you watched them anyway.
So, yeah, just tell them how righteous you are for demanding that a household be broken up because of videos that you don't like.
It's incredible.
Tell them that you deserve a special reward for helping to spread gossip, rumors, and slander in your little crusade.
You know, by any means necessary, right?
I guess it's all justified.
Surely you will be rewarded.
I'm quite sure of it.
You think so, right?
I'm sure you think that you're doing the right thing somehow, but you're not.
You're really not.
It doesn't matter that my videos were offensive.
It didn't pertain to you.
They weren't at you.
And I didn't even share them with you.
You have just obsessed over them.
And you have gone and watched them of your own accord when you didn't have to.
And so now here I sit.
And though I know all of my old videos still exist and that's fine, I don't have them hosted right now on my channel.
You know, because look, that was a chapter of my life.
And I meant what I said.
That's how I felt.
You know, those were my honest thoughts.
And I was just speaking them honestly.
By the way, it never included calls to violence.
That's that's the thing.
Like all these rumors are circulating.
Like that I called for all this crazy violence.
I didn't.
Crazy stuff like that I wanted to have all black people killed or something.
I never said anything like that.
Not even close.
You know, so you go on, go around, spread your rumors, spread your lies, spread your gossip, and you know, feed it to scummy journalists who will then put it in print and make it, you know, fact in people's minds.
And the snowball effect continues.
And, you know, a lie will make its way around the world before the truth even gets its pants on, right?
It's not like anybody is coming to me and asking me anything, right?
I have had definitely people reach out and express support because they think that this is all crazy and it is.
Like, so I created offensive videos.
There are some reasonable people out there that go, well, okay, they're offensive or, you know, maybe I don't agree with the things that you said, but like, so you were just making videos.
It's completely ridiculous to behave this way.
And it is.
It's actually surreal to me.
So I just wanted to put that before you, you know, so-called Christians that are involved in all of this.
Where do you really think you stand?
I don't even stand here condemning and judging you.
I just read from the book, okay?
Here's who Paul was.
And yet, look what he became.
Look at what he was used to do.
Look at the fruit that he bore after all of this.
And you're so quick to condemn someone over just speech.
Speech?
I can't wrap my brain around it.
Honest to God.
I mean, I'm a smart guy and I cannot wrap my head around that because I wouldn't do it to you.
I've heard all kinds of offensive rhetoric.
Hop on X. I've taken a break off of X lately because I just can't take it.
I mean, it's when I say it's toxic, okay, it's toxic.
All right.
Just get on there, get on some political posts and you'll see what I mean.
Or you'll probably just see what you want to see.
At this point, you're so fixated on trying to do the worst to me and treating me like some crazy unhinged terrorist.
You know, meanwhile, altercations have broken out, you know, between other people, people that are against me versus people that stand by my side, you know, that don't agree with the content that I created, but neither do they condemn me for it.
Like, they don't hold me in absolute contempt and want my life destroyed over it.
I expect this kind of garbage out of commies and out of lefties.
I know.
I mean, they would love it if I would just die, if me and my whole family would just die.
Know that it would make them giddy.
And they're not the ones I'm addressing, right?
Those people are beyond the pale.
They're mentally destroyed beyond repair, I think.
And, but, you know, some of you supposed Christians, you need to hear this and you need to consider it.
You have no idea what's really going on.
You don't know what God's plans are.
You don't know what God is working on with me, with my family, with my future, with what He wants me to do.
You don't know any of these things.
And you don't realize, again, that you mean it for my evil, but God means it for my good.
And this whole disgusting crusade of yours, it's not going to result in the things that you want.
You're not going to have those things.
And I would just, I would really suggest to you, since I have turned to the Lord and my faith, and I'm taking it seriously, I would just suggest that you back off.
I really would.
I'm not going to do anything to you.
I've repeatedly said throughout all of my videos, like, I'm not going to do anything to anyone.
I'm not going to hurt anyone.
I'm not going to bother their property.
I'm not going to harass them.
I'm not going to have anybody else do any of these things.
I'm not going to do any of this stuff.
But you ought to understand: if you're actually a believer in God, you need to be careful at this point.
Okay.
You need to be careful because if you become a problem for my family and if you become a problem for the work that God intends to do through me and through my family, I don't know.
I wouldn't want to be you, okay, in that situation.
You might not want to be me.
It's not an enviable position to be in right now because people are completely hysterical and going crazy.
But I definitely wouldn't want to be you getting up in the mix.
I mean, you have stuck your nose in places where they don't belong at all.
You have clearly no sense of moral probity.
If you actually think that calling for divorce because a husband/slash father made offensive videos that you don't like, you call for a household to split up over it.
That's satanic.
Yeah, that's devilish.
It doesn't matter what you think of the things I said.
I didn't say them even at you.
It's not like I wrote them in a letter and sent them to you.
It's not like I showed up on your doorstep and said them to you.
It's not like I shouted at you from a street corner.
I made videos.
You didn't have to watch them.
You watched them.
And then you started to demand that my family split up over it.
That's evil.
That is evil.
It doesn't matter how evil you think my words were.
That's evil.
I wouldn't call for you to break your family up.
No.
It's incomprehensible to me that you people would think that way.
That you'll say these things.
It's actually disgusting.
God have mercy on you.
I suppose if any of you ever came to eventually apologize and say, you know what, that actually was pretty wrong and reprehensible and repugnant and so on.
I'd be like, yeah.
And I probably would forgive you.
But as it stands right now, you guys still intend all this harm for me and my family.
And I'm just not having it.
You know, I'm not having it.
Again, I'm not going to do anything to you, but, you know, God's working with me.
He's working in my life.
You have no idea about that.
You don't care.
You don't care about the fact I'm not even, you know, making this kind of content anymore.
You don't care about that.
You just care about your little crusade.
You know, you care because you're up on your high horse.
And you've decided that you've been fested with the power and a mandate from heaven, or more likely, hell, to do everything you can to try to destroy a family over opinions that you don't like.
Wow.
I mean, what is that?
Can you, do you have the capacity for self-reflection at all?
Like, can you really sit with yourself and think these things through?
Have an honest heart-to-heart.
Maybe pray.
Yeah, pray, pray, and seek God's will.
Ask him, am I doing the right thing?
Is this righteous?
Is this what you would have me do in response to somebody having hurty-feely opinions?
It's shameful.
It's honestly shameful.
And so I just want you to think about that.
And I want you to live with it.
After all, you guys are making me live with all this nonsense.
It's going to be all right in the end.
God has a plan.
He's going to take this and he's going to make something out of it.
He really is.
I've got not a shred of doubt in my mind.
No matter what you people think or say, no matter how much slander, no matter how hard you push, it doesn't matter.
You're up against an unstoppable force, you know, in the form of God, who very much has plans for me, my life, and my family.
And so think about it.
And think about how so much of your action is completely in vain.
It's not going to actually pan out the way you want.
And the more you do it, the more people see it.
There's a lot of people that are seeing this behavior and they're appalled by it.
They're like, what?
What are you doing?
You're trying to destroy these people's life over this?
Like, people are actually disgusted.
Like, outside of your little clique of backbiters and implacable, unmerciful people who are on a witch hunt, outside of that, people are disgusted.
They think it's crazy because it is.
It's crazy and it's disgusting.
So snap out of it.
If you can, just snap out of it.
Anyway, folks, that's about all I got to say on that today.
