Browsing Reddit is a good way to come up with channel content for just about anything. No matter what subreddit you go into, somebody is bound to say something inflammatory or ridiculous that can be used for show-prep. In this case, it's the r/twosentencehorror subreddit. There was a show made about "Two Sentence Horror Stories", but I never have watched it.
The impetus for what is going to be a series of videos on a theme, was one particular short story, namely this one:
Upon my request the heavenly scribe told me: "Your husband is here because he died as a Christian, your daughter is not for she lost her faith because of what your husband did to her." I wanted to protest, but then the eternal bliss of being in God's presence washed over me and nothing else mattered anymore.
The story alone is ripe with misunderstandings of eternity and the nature of heaven, but on a deeper level there is a misunderstanding of salvation, who God is, who man is, and what sin is. All of these things come into play when learning how to deal with these sorts of emotional attacks against the faith. That doesn't mean they're impossible to deal with. Far from it. However, if you don't know what you believe or what the Bible says about these issues, you'll be hard pressed to come up with a valid response to any of it.
So, for my Christian followers, I hope the coming series will be of benefit to you. If you're not, hopefully you'll learn something too, if nothing else than how to accurately represent the other side.
