You only fear evil not God. That's an incorrect transaction from either the Aramaic or the ancient Greek.

@@sophiarevel6952no, It’s not. It’s fear in a different sense (holy reverence, more like).

@@SalvationIsInChristAlone that I can accept. But remember the bible has been translated from ancient languages.

yes and therefore Jesus, and the Death and Resurrection.

Believing is obeying though. God is is creator and redeemer, and as both of those roles he has moral authority over us. To say “we won’t be perfect” so we aren’t hitting the standard of obedience isn’t logical, because God knows the ones trying to walk in obedience and the once making excuses for not even trying.

​@@iBMcFly Agreed, but Jordan here (I would argue) is conflating belief with obedience. You believe in God? Then you must be perfect! Because naturally you would act within God’s will. That’s my one hang-up with Jordan’s aversion to the original question, “Do you believe in God?” because it still feels like he’s avoiding the question. Yes, you believe, but no you’re not perfect. He doesn’t seem to think that both can be true.

I believe that what one says is more of their belief than what they do, in causalities or ego stuff or whatever.

Anyone who believes they obey God perfectly has deceived themself and does not understand the gospel

god is a female

This man continues to think himself to Hell by needlessly parsing words that are palin to everyone to avoid answering the one important question on the planet.

How to accept Islam? You have to believe that there is only one God, Allah, who created the entire universe, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his final messenger on earth. If you say no god but allah and Muhammad(pboh) is his final messenger with total sincerity, you have become a Muslim. It really is as simple as that And if you can’t bcz your family members Then Be Muslim in secret and don’t tell any one

@@Shanksz You missed a few steps. 1) Get a lobotomy so you will believe this crap. 2) Never read either the Bible or the Koran so you will not discover that while Mohammed claimed that the Bible was true, he then botched his retelling of every Bible story he attempted to relate. 3) Be stupid enough that you reject all the eyewitness testimony in the New Testament that Jesus is God who was crucified and returned from the dead in order to believe Mohammed's account 600 years later where M. claims Jesus was a prophet of Allah and WAS born of a virgin BUT is inferior to Mohammed himself.

​@@johnbreitmeier3268 The one important question is not "Does God exist?". It's not even a proper question, that's why he's struggling with it. Here's an allegory: Kid wants to buy some ice cream: "Do you have my favourite type?" "What is your favourite type?" "You're avoiding my question." Christian walks right up to me: "Do you believe in God?" "Please specify." "You're avoiding my question." Most Christians never ask themselves why they believe. They just believe because others believe. They use God as an idol or a puppet. A self made pocket God to hide behind because it's most comfortable. And by doing so they glorify their relationship with themselves.

@@ELMQ Your very bad allegory shows that you are a very chaotic thinker. You don't show at all why you think "Does God exist ?" is an improper question. THEN you tell an allegory that has zero relevance to that question. The proper analogy would be the atheist/skeptic who. like you, goes up to an ice cream stand and shouts loudly that ice cream does not exist while a whole line of customers are walking out with ice cream cones. So the first and most fundamental question IS do you believe in the existence of at least some sort of god or gods (or ice cream) before we begin to have a discussion. There is no point having a discussion about "flavors", tiny child, if you don't think there is such a thing as ice cream. It is a very different discussion with very different proofs and 99% of sane people do not even need to have that discussion. If you are one of the crazy minority, it is on you to make that clear rather than wasting the time of the 99% of us that are discussing flavors. If someone asks you the first question, they are just asking are you a foolish atheist. IF you are not and want to move on to the what "flavor" discussion, just say so. See that was not so hard, little ignorant one.

This is such a huge debate in christian circles but while you are expected to do your best, the bible goes on and on about how God's standard is *perfect* obedience, and that *no one* can do that. That is the very reason we need Christ and his sacrifice for us. Far too many people are self righteous and think they can earn it. That's the problem.

Those that are Real w GOD are not on KZfaq

Why is God such a liability, you make him sound like an anchor to be dragged around. God is fun loving and easy going. If you think God requires a sacrifice, hard work etc then one of us has the wrong God, and it's not me 😂

​@michaelbarry755 when we first come to Jesus you make sacrifice of the old man. It's true that it is a joy to follow the lord but don't kid yourself there aren't things we give up for the Lord.

@@michaelbarry755the burden doesn’t come from God (OP worded that bad), it comes from denying both ourselves and the temptations of darkness. The burden comes from the plague that is the old man, rearing it’s ugly head (as Paul alluded to). The burden comes from wanting to be with our lord and savior but still being in a body of flesh, walking the narrow road with and to he, the one truth and life.

Jesus was a messenger of God’s word.

@@71000bh Actually, Jesus is Himself the Word of God. Read John 1:1-14 for starters. The "He" and the "Word" being referred to there is Jesus Christ. He is God, and He is the Word of God. He didn't just convey the message, He is the message. This isn't meant as a reprimand, just to clarify. It's a pretty important distinction. 😊

I also came to the comments to point out how his misquote of Mark 10:18 causes him to get the whole purpose of the conversation backward. Far from being unwilling, that is a verse where Jesus is very plainly and specifically claiming to be God.

So not "yes", & not "no". Just a long "maybe". Which means he's not sure. He talks about "God" all the time, but he's not sure "God" exists. Cool.

If they do not stop saying this, those who disbelieve among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment. Quran 5:74 Will they not turn to Allah in repentance and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

@@NTJedi How can Jesus be GOD Almighty in the light of the following verses? If Jesus was GOD, then why in Mark 12:29 Jesus said "Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." The words "our God" indicate that Jesus had a higher God over him, a stronger God than him. Jesus didn't say "Your God". He said "our God" which includes Jesus as the creation of GOD. If Jesus was GOD, then why did he ask for GOD's Forgiveness in Luke 23:34? Luke 23:34 " Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots." If Jesus was GOD, then why Mark 15:34 says "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" If Jesus was GOD, then did Paul say in 1 Corinthians 8:6 "yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we VAclive." If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 20:17 Jesus said "Do not hold on to me, forl have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'l am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. '" If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 8:28 Jesus said "I do nothing of myself" ? Can't GOD do anything he wills? John 8:28 " Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things." If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than "? John 14:28 " Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than |." If Jesus was GOD, then why in Luke 23:46 Jesus said "Father (GOD), into thy hands I commend my spirit"? Luke 23:46 " And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." If Jesus was GOD, then why in Mark 10:18 Jesus said "And Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone"? Also in Luke 18:19 Jesus said only GOD Almighty is Good: ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good except God alone." If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus begged his GOD to have mercy on him and to pass the cup to death (kill Jesus in another words) before Jesus goes through the pain of crucifixion? If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 18:38 he didn't reply when he was asked about the truth? If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 24:36 Jesus said "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Jesus told his followers that no one (including Jesus) knows when the judgment day will come, only GOD knows? •..... If Jesus was GOD, then why in Isaiah 11:2-3 GOD had put the spirit of fearing GOD in Jesus? Also see GOD's Spirit in the many others beside Jesus. (And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him) Isaiah 11:2 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mark 16:19 If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:31 Jesus told his followers that if he (Jesus) bears witness of himself, then his record is not true? If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:30 Jesus told his followers that he can't do a single thing of his own initiative? John 5:30 " I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, Ijudge: and my judgment is just; because l seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:36-38 Jesus said that GOD had assigned him (Jesus) work and GOD is a witness on Jesus? If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:37 Jesus told his followers that they have never seen GOD at anytime nor ever heard his voice? John 5:37 " And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape" If Jesus was GOD, then why did he pray to his GOD in Luke 5:16? Luke 5:16 "And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed." If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus fel on his face and prayed to his GOD? Matthew 26:39 "And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. If Jesus was GOD, then how come in Hebrew 5:7 he prayed and cried for GOD to hear him and give him mercy by saving him from death? If Jesus was GOD, then how come in John 1:18 he said "No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the FATHER'S side, has made HIM known." Where do you see Trinity in this Verse? If Jesus was GOD, then how come in John 5:37 he said "And the FATHER who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard HIS voice nor seen HIS form," Jesus and the GOD are different. People heard Jesus, but never heard GOD. If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 17:3 he said " And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." John 17:3 (Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.) If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 8:40 he said " But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham." If Jesus was GOD, then why in Numbers 23:19 he said (GOD is not a man neither the Son of man) " God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 17:25 he said ( and these have known that thou hast sent me.) "O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me" If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 15:24 he said “ But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Is the lord sends another god or messenger to guide people?

I kind of laughed at the relationship I have with God because no matter how difficult I get no matter how angry I get no matter how hopeless I feel he always has a way of reminding me he's there and it instantly makes me feel so silly because I know I should be trusting in him a whole heartedly but instead I have faith in myself and I end up making a mess of my life and there he is ready to pick up the pieces.... I guess it's just funny that no matter how many times I mess up he never leaves my side and even though sometimes I feel like I don't he's always there for me and he's proven himself to me so many times....

And if you read the Bible, He didn't even say "Don't call me good" like JP misquoted from the Bible. But what Jesus really said was: "Why are you calling me good? Because only God is good" So Jesus was provoking, making the man realize who He really is. In other words, the person was right to call Jesus good. But the reason for calling Jesus good would be wrong without acknowledging that Jesus is God. Because calling Jesus good must come with acknowledging that Jesus is God.

​@@franknuzzo2576 That's an excellent question.

desperation is the worst time to make a decision, you're brain isn't working efficiently and is clouded by many things.

When the consequences come we blame it on God or say he doesn't exist and do it all over again. Almost all suffering on earth stems from sin and what is sin? Seperation from God. In a perfect world everyone would do their best to avoid sin but unfortunately we do not live in such a world currently.

@@Bishopaaronbeachy is this channel actually his?

He mentioned he’s been racing through the Old Testament so it can’t be that old.

@@joelanderson907 I recognize this lecture. It’s from his 2018 Twelve Rules tour. Entitled “Who dares say he believes in God?” It’s in Australia.

Wrong. No one can be without sin. You have it backwards. Everyone sins. The believers admit it and beg forgiveness. The others see no need.

his illness was a drug addiction to xanax. bro should have just smoked some weed 🤓

@@jojstar4no it wasn’t you sausage

He used to have something interesting to say about self-improvement, but after his drug addiction/induced coma, he has become unhinged.

Happy to hear you are okay and that you are saved man (in all ways).

@@Psychiatricnerd thanks

Beautiful and insightful.

yee are gods said jesus

Non sense, a lot of to say few. Believe and thrust humanity instead of imagination. There isn't a reason to support any type of religion. You only have to look at the past and today's hypocrisy to see that it may bring morals, but can we talk about all the blood and catastrophe any religion made ? oh but it did more good than bad ? and it wasn't us at that time, no you support something that did those horrible things, you believe in what others said but it can't be proven, but morals can be teach outside of religions. Believers forsake peoples, they are hypocrite, they think they are good, when every actions they make are selfish and egoistic. Because when you make a action that make others happy, you do it because it make you happy. So you only do it cause it make you happy. The good is in the bad and the bad in the good. People should be teach of how to be a better human, instead of a profiling of how good people should be by the say of a imaginary being.

@@arekisan5239 So you haven't listened to anything Professor Peterson has said in this clip, or any other lecture, I take it? I'll let you take your qualms up with him - would love to see him in a 'debate' with you XD Yes, human beings do bad and even terrible things. God has given us FREE WILL for a purpose. Even atheists do terrible things behind closed doors, and yes, even in public. Keep ignoring the good of humanity, and focus on the negative, see where it takes you my friend.

@@arekisan5239 you lack spiritual wisdom,please read the conversations with god books 1 ,2 and 3 and let me know what you think,they area trilogy and meant to be taken as a whole ,yee are gods said jesus,when you can explain that fully,you have great spiritual wisdom,if i told you god is all there is there is nothing but god,the purpose of this created reality is too seem so real that you truly believe it exist,god is very clever

Amen

Look inside yourself, you will eventually meet God. And you will definitely no longer fear death. Working with nature or people is the best way to feel connected with God for sure

@@Softlol I embraced death, as many do, falling into a sort of nihilism and realized I was dead already and hadn’t truly lived. I was chaff in the wind. Now my roots are deep, my direction is clear, and I can stand tall in knowing that we all have a purpose. Own your past and help others learn from it. Love to you all!

@@denniscwarren very true! The past and future doesn’t exist, the present moment is all that is, and if you give it all you have you can enjoy every second of life! Even when it’s bad, you can use this as a tool to handle it! Hardship is a great learner, we should also appreciate hardship! Sending love💙

Except Jesus doesn't "do the rest" he pays in full for all the sins of those who believe, you get to go to heaven because of what Jesus did for you, and not because of what you did, put your trust fully in him and not on yourself.

​@YYZUnderbelly described in epistles and elsewhere. They were already in an "in between" place called Sheol where Jesus personally brought them out during his time dead for approx 3 days.

Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. Works based salvation is absolutely incorrect. We cannot bribe the Judge. Grace through faith was there all along in the scripture. Christ did all the work on the cross. Sin paid in full. Believe and receive His saving grace and mercy. Unfortunately Jordan like so many are still stuck in a works based theology where moral deeds must outweigh immoral deeds in order for God to provide salvation from damnation.

@@david-spliso1928 This is the truth

@YYZUnderbelly 1 Peter 3:18-19. Google still helps with this. At the time of commenting, I didn't remember where, this morning I straight up just Google search for it and bam. There you go.

Psalms 118:8 “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” King James Version (KJV)

​@@Apphus144Too true. And "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"

Then he pulls pants down to show he's a women now and we look in shock

Too bad Canadians cannot become American presidents. Lol..,. He is truly an amazing human.

Once you let yourself go and accept the Lord - become child like, as Jesus told us to be - these thoughts will vanish. I believe in God, but I am not perfect. Faaaar from it! But I do live in His mercy, thus I don't need to be perfect. In fact, I can't because I am a human being. I am sinful, but not a sinner. This is the core of what Jesus did. When He took our sins upon Him, we got freedom in return. We are free to be a believer even though we are not perfect. I've been a Christian all my life, but it is just recently (the last decade or so - I am now 45) that I have really gotten down deep in my faith; in my understanding of the mysteries in faith. And through that, I am slowly becoming a better person because I want to live my life like He wants me to. All of this time, I _know_ that when I die, He will welcome me into Paradise. Because I believe in God, that Jesus died and is risen - and I am here proclaiming just that. Therefore I have a claim in eternal life in Heaven, because Jesus said so. Look up "the man on the middle cross said I could come", a short KZfaq clip with Allistair Begg. That story tells everything there is to know about His mercy. People who is new to the faith, or are just starting to acknowledge their faith, are like babies. You don't serve a baby a platter of beef, veggies and gravy - the baby cannot process such food. In stead, we feed babies milk, then introduce solid food over time, then gradually the baby can digest "grown up food". And waaaay later in life, the baby learns to enjoy coffee. :D If you are new to the faith, don't expect to be able to handle steak just yet. It'll come, and maybe it will take a long time. But it'll come. I want to confirm something for you (and everybody like you), as a believer myself. Believe in God, and believe that all your sins are forgiven forever! Believe that you are a child of God and that you have His mercy. Just believe it, and become child like - let Jesus take the wheel while you take care of rowing, and your boat will find safe haven. Your life will be transformed through Him. Because there is nothing you yourself can do. That's what Jesus said in the verse about the camel and the eye of the needle. No acts will save you, only His Mercy. And that you shall have, now and forever! Amen! God bless you, my friend! :)

If God wanted perfect obedience you'd have no free will.

@@JoyfulUniter That does not make much sense to me. What value would obedience have if it is not a free choice? It seems to me that in any case, God would want us to obey out of love for him, not out of fear or because we are forced to do so.

@@nicolasvasquez8048 He wants to be your friend it's a relationship not slavery. You get what you want. God gets what God wants, everyone wins. Obey is what a slave does, and God never wanted slaves.

@@nicolasvasquez8048 Recontextualize it, what would God want for you if he was your friend and not some overlord? For both sides to be happy, and get what they want, like a friendship, right? Consult your own heart on it, ask God yourself f*** what I think he told me that.

@@JoyfulUniter But it isn't only slaves that obey. Children that respect, love or fear their parents obey. That doesn't make them slaves... because in the end it is a choice they have to make on their own. And we are children of God, not friends. If a father proves himself to be worthy of your respect and love, then you simply obey... And I don't think there is anyone more worthy than God. Anyway, that's what I would say if I believed in God. Good night... or morning if you're from the other side of the globe.

He will die like every other man, unless he is saved and the LORD returns soon.

That is simply integrity. It has less than nothing to do with belief.

It is a private question, cause christianity is a personal religion

How to accept Islam? You have to believe that there is only one God, Allah, who created the entire universe, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his final messenger on earth. If you say no god but allah and Muhammad(pboh) is his final messenger with total sincerity, you have become a Muslim. It really is as simple as that And if you can’t bcz your family members Then Be Muslim in secret and don’t tell any one

Or, be at least open to this gift, at least give it a chance, even it it takes a while or is a gradual process, you can't expect it to be some sort of a flash like saul on the road

Longest running virtue signaling in history. Catholic church and Trump evangelicals behave the same way. Interesting that JP hangs out with the latter, like Prager.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@howard I rather suffer in the truth than live a happy lie.

Yeah! This right here!

He didn't dodge the question in this instance because it wasn't actually asked in this instance. He merely discussed it and what it could potentially mean and why he doesn't like it.

He is a clown trying to answer a simple question by twisting it so that he won't lose his beloved Christian followers.

But you must say you are from the muslimeen do not play tricks brother stay strong and fair god since you beleive in him ghats it igonore your nafs, and shytan, and follow god word

“Do you believe in God?” Yes, nigga 😂

that's a sin
