It is simply amazing how Jay Dyer consistently lies about Protestantism. Let's listen in on his latest lie.

| NALA, KNOWLES, YE & Cussin! BUSINESS CHURCH: Y U JUDGIN'?? Ain't NOBODY GOT WISDOM! -Jay Dyer |
1:04:05 For example in the Orthodox world you if you want to convert there is a period of time. It's not like Billy Graham's thing where he invites you down the Altar and gives you hot slices of chis pza. "Come down the altar we've got hot cheese pizza, I'll give you a slice of pizza and some Cocola if you pray the Jesus pray with me." No it's not like that you don't become a Baptist overnight and, uh, everything's cool, right, cuz you said a sinner's prayer. No. there's a period to see if after 6 months, a year, or three years, or two years that's actually the life that you want to live and the the path you want to take because there's requirements. That's the thing. But this kind of Christianity basically has no requirements except whatever you performatively display to the public. That's it.
It's that simple. Does that make sense? And don't you see that there's a reason why there's a barrier to these kinds of things? Why is this? Because what Protestantism whether intentionally or inadvertently, what Protestantism lost is this idea of boundaries, this idea of the Holy and the profane. So, we say for example the Holy things are for the holy that means that you have to be in a pure State, confession, etc before you take the Eucharist, before you attend the Lord's Supper. However, outside of Protestantism which lost this notion of dividing the Holy things from the unholy there's no Holy objects, there's no Holy water, there's no Holy images. There's just a Holy book which is a propositional sort of rationalist faith of just worshiping a book.
Now, these words were said within the context of a video where Jay is mocking modern day evangelicalism. Has he forgotten that modern day evangelicalism is basically a creation of the Rockefellers and the World Council of Churches? He has mentioned that many times on his show.
But not all Protestant Churches have been infected with that disease. This especially concerns the Reformed who most definitely make a difference between the Holy and the profane. They do not englage in circus antics or emotionalism but stick to a traditional liturgy with the focus being the preaching of the Word.
And not just anyone can join either. One must go through a period of cathecism before one becomes a member and can partake of the Lord's Supper. That Jay fails to make this distinction between Liberal Protestant churches and Conservative Protestant Churches who still follow the creeds and instead groups them all together is a total misrepresentation of the facts and thus a lie.
It is also not true that the only Holy thing these churches hold to is the Bible, or as Jay so derisively says:
There's just a Holy book which is a propositional sort of rationalist faith of just worshiping a book.
Is he that ignorant of how Protestants view the Lord's Supper? It is also not true that Protestantism is totally rationalist. There is no space to go into that here but for him to say that and deny the mystical elements of Protestantism, i.e. the Lord's Supper, is another lie. Protestants DO NOT WORSHIP the Bible.
It is insane that Jay continues to make these kinds of intentional misrepresentations and lies but here we are.
