A third said: 'The only church I’d go to'
A fourth wrote: 'Your words have me as excited as we all were in Catholic grade school in the 60s. The nuns started up guitar mass to get the young people to church.'
Daniel Singleton, National Executive Director of Faith Action, which empowers faith-based organizations through communication took a similar line of thought.
He told FEMAIL: 'It’s a bit rough and ready, but it provides a more current approach to look at the bible.
'Christians believe that Bible is the word of God and not merely a ‘classic document’ its meant to affect our lives and how we view the world.'
'Jesus was very approachable and reached to those on the margins, in that senses this account follows a key Christian tradition.'
Similarly, Tim Hutchings, Associate Professor of Religious Ethics, University of Nottingham, also shared similar thoughts.
He said: 'The best way to respect the Bible is to find new ways to tell its stories. Lots of stories in the Bible are entertaining, surprising and shocking. Some of them are mind-blowing.
'These videos capture that energy, and you can see from the comments on these videos that viewers are excited to hear them. The most disrespectful thing to the Christian faith would be to make the Bible sound boring.'
