Because when Jesus spoke to His disciples the last time before ascending to Heaven, He dropped a King James Version of the bible so they could figure things out.

Well, some of us may well have relatives or a loved ones that listen to people like this, and don’t listen to us, and at least quietly think that we are messed up in the way that this guy describes. I suppose we kind of have to know what they’re saying about us, even though yeah, it’s pretty idiotic.

He spent a segment on faith and works comparing Ephesians 2:8-9 to James 2:24-26. He went further into James 2:12-26 showing James to be on the same page with Paul in faith & works. Ok, on that point but why did he just not include Ephesians 2:10 as what we would know is living witness of salvation by grace? Why not go further from Ephesians 2:8-9 per Ephesians 2:8-18 and educate his faithful in that Paul is railing against boasting & works of the flesh ( primarily circumcision)? Why not also educate his faithful in that we are to keep the Lord’s commandments ( this involves works) & also see 1 Corinthians 7:19.

It’s been a long day & gotta get back to moving boxes around at the warehouse tomorrow morning. I have nothing against this guy & wonder why we stress him so bad?

People (possible converts) may listen and believe this guy! I don't think it is meh...
bad arguments strengthen good arguments. I like when my parishioners bring up folks like this because it just shows the Truth of Orthodoxy. there’s been guys like this long before my conversion, so I say meh.
