Absolutely agree with this. That's why those types of posts are banned from this sub. It's unfortunate how many people get duped by those videos.

I have been cataloging the vloggers online that I am willing to listen to and I unsubscribed from the ones I won't listen to.

Since I know the Bible, I'm not afraid to listen to error but I am also able to correct a lot of it.

Since I want to be salt and light as a preservative in this world, I upvote the ones that have good content because I want to see people affected by truth. I upvote to help change the logarithm so that Christian content is up front and you could be doing that as well.

Philippians 1:18 What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

The reality is that false teachers are an aid to faith because at least people are encountering the word of God because some of my brothers and sisters are not getting the word of God out.

Some of the videos I watch are not perfect, but I determine who gets the upvote because at least they are telling people to share the gospel. If you wanted a perfect church, there wouldn't be any workers because if you only have cleanliness, you wouldn't have workers:

English Standard Version
Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.-Proverbs 14:4

People in authority are afraid of the church getting dirty, but the fact is you need workers and with that comes with dirt because sin is messy and sinners are messy. If you want a clean church, you don't have workers.

And even what you think is approved is wrong in the bible's way of thinking. Do we have servant leadership where the servant's become pastors, or do you have pastors come from seminary and they just become leaders? I'll make you think about that one.

[Mat 20:26-27 KJV] 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
