In this video, Nathan Miller recounts his experience attending a service at Harvest Church in California, where Greg Laurie was preaching. Miller describes an immediate sense of unease, noting that the worship was good but the sermon turned problematic when Laurie praised the Scofield Reference Bible—a version Miller characterizes as a pro‑Israel, Jewish‑produced propaganda tool. Laurie also displayed a photo with U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, whom Miller links to AIPAC funding, and later images of Laurie shaking hands with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Miller accuses of committing genocide. Miller further alleges that Laurie (and another individual, Erica Kirk) faces accusations of child sex trafficking in Romania, suggesting these allegations explain Laurie’s pro‑Israel stance. Miller argues that Israel’s actions—spitting on, killing, and denigrating Christians—are fundamentally at odds with Christianity, asserting that supporting Israel contradicts supporting Jesus. He concludes by urging viewers, especially Christians, to investigate the Scofield Bible’s origins, reconsider support for Harvest Church, and reject the pro‑Israel Christian movement.

Visiting California, right? And I had to go to church this morning, so I decided to go somewhere called Harvest Church. I had to walk out mid-sermon. As soon as I went in, I had this weird feeling. Something just felt off. And so I went in, you know, we did the worship. The worship was actually really good. And then the sermon came, and the sermon was being taught by Greg Laurie. First it was fine, and then he mentioned the Scofield Bible. He's mentioning how that this is the only Bible he wanted when he was, you know, first believing, and how one of the first prayers that were answered was him wishing for this Scofield Bible. Scofield Bible is a pro-Israel Israel Bible made by Jewish people to convince Christians to be pro-Israel. It's Jewish propaganda in a Bible. So immediately I was like, that's really weird. Then he decides to throw up a picture of him with Marco Rubio. Now, oh, he's a great guy. Marco Rubio literally took money from AIPAC, which is Israel funding. I'm like, okay, this is really weird. So I decided to look up the pastor's name, and he has pictures with Netanyahu, a dude who's committing genocide right now. He's shaking his hand. Then I go deeper, and I found out the same pastor has allegations of child sex trafficking in Romania, the same thing Erica Kirk is being accused of. For your Christians who don't know Israel is bad, they are bad. In Israel, they spit on Christians, they kill Christians, they perform acts of genocide. They hate Jesus, they denounce Jesus. They're the ones who killed Jesus. Supporting Israel is not supporting Jesus. It all makes sense. Become evidently clear that Israel has dirt on a lot of people to control them, to push their agenda. The allegations of that pastor makes sense why he's teaching this stuff. He has to be pro-Israel. And so that's why I walked out of the church. The whole pro-Israel Christian movement makes no sense. It's an oxymoron. You cannot be pro-Israel and be pro-Jesus, because what Israel stands for, what they fund, and what they do completely contradicts the Bible. So if you're a Christian and you go to Harvest Church, look into the Scofield Bible, look into why it was created, then I suggest you switch and stop supporting them.
