2 Years After Leaving Christianity, What Both Atheists and Christians Get Wrong About Genesis 

I know when I was being a Christan But now I'm free living without Christianity ❤️ It is very great to gain so much knowledge from you You helped a lot to increase my confidence Thank you so much

Thank you Jennifer. I have watched almost most of your videos and I am free now and have total peace.. I love your teachings.

I found your original video not long after you posted it. It was very helpful to me as a former fundamentalist Christian. Great to see you back and I hope your migraines are gone for good ❤️💐🥀👍

Found you from Myth Vision+great interview). I really appreciate, the effort you put into learning everything. seriously 😳 the same devotion into Christianity. Trying to get to the source. Same Jen, different sources 😁.

I’m enjoying listening to your thoughts on your journey. I’m glad you have been able to get free from Christianity. You dig deep in the effort to learn and understand. I’ve come to the realization that I can’t be an expert in everything. I must rely on experts who study things and write peer reviewed papers. I hope you are able to satisfy your yearning for answers. You are on a journey. Please bring us along.

Dear Sister Jen, We pray for you... In Book of Acts, Mark left Paul and Barnabas(Acts 13)...later we see Mark came back to Paul and served the Lord greatly... Sister Jen, we pray that you would come back again to Jesus who loves you...

This is the heart of the issue for me - I used to sit in churches and listen to other people tell me what the bible means. They all claimed x=expertise. Many claimed knowledge of ancient languages. I couldn't learn a second language at school and they did try to teach me one. Now I'm here listening to another person tell me they have language skills and know what the book means and I have no proof of any of it. Nor can I just swan off and learn Biblical Hebrew and Greek to "find out for myself". And I'm about done with a book that unreliable/that hidden/that subject to be being used to manipulate other people. Sick to my soul with all of it. Ersatz spirituality. Ersatz psychology. Abuse and manipulation. If this was god's plan to reach humanity, it's rubbish.

I'm an atheist and the "impossibility of the conflicting creation stories". Is a response to the Christian who would claim the Bible to be univocal and that Genesis is an account of the creation of our observable universe and everything in it. This is a legitimate criticism of my interlocutors theology and you are just wrong to call it a "mistake".

As a fellow migraine sufferer, I saw a nurolgist, and learned to track my food triggers. In my case, nuts, seeds, dairy, nitrates, nitrites, red food coloring, anything pickled or cured or smoked. Not waking and sleeping on a set schedule was a bad one, changes in atmospheric pressure, hormonal changes, scents and perfumes, bright lights, glare, getting too cold... all are triggers.

It sounds like you have studied the similarities between the Sumerian stories and the OT. Do you have thoughts about the possibility of the OT stories being encounters with the Anunnaki?

people waking up ❤ love your story!

I went angry atheist after I left Christianity and that lasted 10 years but then I had a very mystical experience, what I know as kundalini. I jumped right into the new age and spiritual stuff for the last three years but see that falling away now. I can’t explain some of the things that I’ve gone through and believe in some higher force/energy. I’m in a good place where I just say “I don’t know” and I’m ok with not knowing. I want to live a life of authenticity, love, peace, joy. Religion and beliefs don’t matter to me if I have have those things ❤

God is Spirit and can only be really known in the Spirit. Any intellectual engagement that seeks to know Him who is Spirit and infinite , falls short. The finite mind cannot fully comprehend Him because He is Spirit and infinite. We need the mind of the Spirit. It's a spiritual encounter. By this, all intellectually challenged individuals have an opportunity to know God by His Spirit with their spirit. It's not about religion and debate. It's about sincerely asking God to make known Himself to us personally. Man does not need religion. They need a living encounter with the Spirit of the Living God.

It’s my understanding that evolution doesn’t claim that we (humans) sprang from monkeys. Rather, evolution states that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor. As far as why humans evolved differently (hair, skin tone, eyes, fast twitch muscles, etc), I think it’s most likely due to pressures from the environments and conditions in which these “groups” lived. If hominids eventually walked out of Africa onto what we now call Europe and Asia, it’s not hard to imagine how conditions varied…and how these conditions shaped what are now modern humans.

People I know who suffer from migraines have also got worse. I believe it possible in relationship to all the Dirty energy, wifi......we are bombarded with. I appreciate you sharing your walk. I just listened to your first and it hit me hard.

Saw you on Dereks show

Woe unto you who leads the sheep astray. I will pray for your soul.

In October 2016 I left my career of 35 years to seek the truth in religion and politics on a full time basis. (A seeker of truth is a finder of lies) I've devoted 7 days a weeks and often 12-15 hours a day to that research and study over the last 6 1/2 years. I've come to the conclusion that ALL religions and political systems are man made constructs to control people's beliefs and their behavior. Atheism is just another form of religion, in fact you'll find that most atheists who were once former Christians are just as dogmatic and intolerant in their beliefs as atheists as they ever were as Christians. What's interesting about a lot of the former Christian atheists is that when they had their radical change in religious beliefs they also had a radical change in their political ideologies as well.

Thank you Jen...I am "deconstructing"...you are a big influence to me . I respect you,I hope you have successful in stopping your migraines.

Looks like I have to be a youtuber to say why left and came back to Christianity. Thanks for the time to explain these. I think I will stay where am I now because I left once. Just like you are happy with your decision, I am happy with mine even though i do challenge Christians at times on what they believe and stand on. Fear mongering is something I condone which one of those I tend to disagree.

WOW! Absolutely interesting and fascinating information! Thank you

You are certainly not afraid to think for yourself. Would that more of us would do that, whether we come to the same conclusions or not.

What a smart woman! Thank you so much for providing me with many answers to questions I've pondered for decades. She needs to come to a better understanding of evolution, however. The races almost certainly originated from common human ancestors some 40,000-20,000 years ago due to developing geographic isolation and ongoing mutation and genetic drift.

The classic documentary hypothesis has largely been rejected, as has the dating that typically went along with it. Elohim is plural in form, but is used grammatically as both singular and plural, indicated by the grammar of the specific usage (such as with singular verb forms like 'bara', as in Bereshit 1, so no, it doesn't say that multiple gods created the sky and the land, though the text does go on to use the first person plural suffix pronoun several times later, or mixing both e.g. 1:26 "And-said-he [3rd person masculine singular verb form 'amar'] Elohim, make-us adam in-image-ours"). This is a linguistic quirk which is also present in other related older polytheistic semitic languages and cultures such as Akkadian and Phoenician. It can't be used as a tool to reliably date the authorship of the text, as there was likely never a time when biblical Hebrew didn't work this way.

Thanks I really appreciate your wisdom... Two movies come to mind.. The movie Don't Look Up.. And the movie 2012. Very similar

Love your free way as my way is the highway to heaven and that’s not bound or need to get certificate from any priest or guru from India . or Mula of Mecca 🕋 or from some pagan priest from east or west or rabbi of Jerusalem , you are doing well make your creator in your mind but one and the most merciful and powerful beyond your any impossible dream 😴 you are almost there where the truth is dragging you to the point of no return. Do good 👍 get good and do bad get bad ,,, very simple laws of nature you are in peace ✌️

Interesting search for GOD, If you are really searching for him, just ask him to guide you towards him, ask him in a humble way sincerly, and repeatedly to help you. O GOD, Guide us to the straight path.

But race is supposed to be a social construct, with more genetic variability with a group than between groups. 🧐

What a speech! Just watched your last 4 vids and those great experiences. But maybe if i could talk, we will regret more not to do something rather than did, even if it could be a mistake. So, how about give time to read Quran for just 3 days? Not just read, but learn a bit like you always did for years. I did, it changed all my journeys and point of view for these last 32 years. Great work btw. Keep posting. Love

Have you tried not eating pork and salt. Or ditching exercise for the more sensible keeping awake.

They had the technology over 12,000 years ago to grow lab grown animals? How do you know that?

This makes sooo much sense!! Thank you!

curious to know your sources for the haplogroups.

I find it sad that you are so sure of yourself, that your heart is hardened towards Jesus Christ. You told us how you went through endless phases and jumped on many crazy bandwagons during your Christian life: this sounds like it could be another tangent. I hope and pray that you can open your mind (and heart) to Truth.

you are right

It is no surprise that different races come from different regions of the world. When populations split and stop breeding with each other, unique traits are able to develop separate from other populations. If you have a group of ape like ancestors, and they split into two groups due to various reasons (mostly geographical), changes will start to develop slowly in the two populations. Eventually they will not be able to breed with each other (speciation).

No one in their right mind would leave a Christian Faith. You do that and the devil has you by the cajónes, for eternity.

Read the Quran. You might find something never occurred to your mind. For sure you will not lose a thing. Quran said (This is the Book; there is no doubt in it. It is a gude for those who are mindful of God ) it is a challenge for you to prove it wrong.

For your migraine problem it could be Oxalate overload. because You mentioned you eat really healthy.

What do you want to accomplish with this channel? Convert others?

Did you abandon Jesus-Christ or Christendom !

I don't see contradiction in scriptures between Genesis 1 and 2, nor between the Old and New Covenant because the Old portrays Creation of God and fall of man, the Messiah Redeemer Christ Himself to come and realized in New Covenant. Impersonal energy, paganism, and atheism don't answer the deep and true issues of life and give no hope for the afterlife. Just because pagan myths look a bit similar to truth doesn't give them validity at all for they don't ring of truth, justice, mercy and grace but only evil and confusion with conflicting gods of hopelessness. Let the Father, Son and Spirit be true and every man a liar.

Dear ,we muslims also do not care if you left christianity or not you want to chang your religon or not want to accept Islam or not or what so ever,we only think of our salvation. I am a born muslim but as we are taught by our Quran to read ,recite and under stand Islam through Quran and then be convienced what ever we read and understand ,Now I an born muslim twice,I also read Injeel Torrah, Zabuur,hindu mythology ,Buddhism Jainism, Parcism ,Sikhism and ofcourse my holy book Quran itis intact with the whole perfection, truth. We have no confusion in it Only One God Allah, ,no son of Got no mother of God, nothing.I bowdown to Our Lord God Almighty we don't believe in triune or trinity.Usually we pitty on you for creating so much confusion for your wronge Christian perception and you have lost the truth . and it's not our problem as a human being we want to show you the true path fo salvation to which you don't want to think as truth and wisdom ,I will not suffer for that believe of yours but without reading or judging how can you decide about it, no you can't. Plz be shore we will not suffer for your ignorance 😉 only you will.Poor athiests or non believers.

Vitamin A toxicity causes migraines So many times have I seen the false dichotomy of creationism vs evolution. I agree. They are both wrong.

YOU may or may not be a Christian, but what I think is, you definately are is A GOOD PERSON! ! ! AND above all, YOU ARE SEARCHING, for the TRUTH! Have you ever listened to PAUL WALLIS? HE”s on the same page as you and I, HE SEARCHES! ! AND I think HE is showing, more REAL TANGIBLE PROOF, for who and why we are! HE’s not finished, BUT I think he’s on the right track! MY Gut Feeling!

Culture does not equal race and race does not equal culture. Fact: People within a group are more different than the people outside a group. You come across as thorough. Surely you stumbled upon that in your research. Why disregard it? It and another well known fact regarding genetics subvert your pure race theory: environment shapes genes. If one comes from multiple generations having lived far above sea level, the way a person's body processes oxygen is more efficient, therefore the myth that people called Black are athletic. This is so well known that athletes will train in the Colorado and other mountains with gear made to simulate thin air to force their body to process oxygen more efficiently. You've "reasoned" yourself into everyday garden variety racism. Melanine content does not drive culture. It's a backwards thinking proposition. How is it that question escaped your studies?

Seriously, monkeys didn't evolve into humans we are monkeys. It is simply that all modern monkeys and apes share a common monkey like ancestor. The various "races" simply evolved in response to the differing environmental pressures they faced as humanity spread across the globe. There is no mistake on my part it's your understanding of evolution that is simple wrong. As an aside I have no idea why you would use the archaic term "race" instead of the modern term "ethnic groups".

You seem to conveniently ignore that the Messiah which the Prophets foretold would bring world peace hasn't come yet. That doesn't fit full preterism. So it appears you may think you're better informed about the Tanakh than the orthodox jews and rabbis and Eastern Orthodox Church. Now Jesus clearly thought of himself as the son of man (bar Anush) of Daniel 7:13 & 14 for which the textual conclusion is in a corporate Messiah as seen in vs 27 (the head of whom from vss 13 & 14 heaven must receive until the time of universal restoration...Acts 3:21 NRSV). Did the apocatastasis occur in 70 AD, lady? Nah I didn't think so. So did that destroy the faith of the 2nd century Church to which Polycarp adhered? Or the 4th? Christ may well have come back in judgement on Jerusalem in 70 AD, as Flavius Josephus gave a supernatural account, whereof everyone saw chariots in the sky and a voice that spoke "Come up here." But there is no exegetical necessity to assume that this was what the Apostles would have reckoned as the Parousia which Jesus had also foretold. He said that the darkness was coming during which no man could work, and in the parable of the ten virgins they all slept till midnight. One doesn't have to interpret that time of sleeping as a mere 40 yrs (a very awake and active period called the Apostolic era in which many did work). Have you delineated the "great apostasy" which is foretold in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as being referred to the time of the end within that 40 yr period? From 30 to 70 AD? Of course it's only unbelieving Naturalist scholars who posit that all the prophecies of Jesus about the fall of Jerusalem were never spoken by him but added after the fact. It's how they date which of the synoptics came first, along with the bogus theory of a Quelle Gospel. To each their own cup of tea on all that. I drink café. So you don't actually have a better understanding of Orthodox eschatology than Christians do. You just don't wanna believe it, as is your perogative. You do, however, highlight some interesting theories in this video. As for the JEDP of Julius Wellhausen, that's a theory that is shot thru with many holes, as is your exegesis of Genesis 1 & 2, in the opinion of many scholars, both academic and religious. Well, I could say more but I'll desist for lack of time and space. Thanks for sharing. Have a fine day.

Apparently migraines can occur because of somewhat minor ocular problems. Have you seen an optometrist recently?

Good work jenesis i agree with u for i study too and see the same things u see and i still believe in a creator but it lives in all of us and everything that exist but how do u explain 1-Near death experience people who died and was in a better place and they always seen god or jesus 2-People seeing demons and ghost and being possessed and injured by demons n ghost and many of these stories happened to more than 1 person at the time they happened 3-The perfect world and human body and plants after there kind and water how is this so perfect as if it was meant to be perfect

I really wish you would spend some time studing human evolution, because no evolutionary biologist teaches that we came from monkeys. Humans and monkeys and apes are decended from primates that lived roughly 60 million years ago. And your comments overall on evolution were just stunningly uninformed and wrong. I can't image what actual scientific material that you studied to come to your conclusions. It was really like listening to a creationist. And we know with certainty that there were no humans on earth during the time of the dinosaurs. So that was really a bizarre statement to hear. I'll definitely be leaving this video behind and instead listening to your videos on Christianity, which are FAR more informed. Whew, this was tough to listen to.

You can't claim atheists and Christians get anything wrong, while not being able to prove you've gotten anything right. Where are any facts to support your claims?

Darwin never said that we evolved from monkeys only that we had a common ancestor.

It took me 12 years, from age 20 to 32, now I'm 55 and have no doubt as I accepted to listen and learn from others not Christians.....thanks Jen great vidéos

prov 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

A few things you talked about here have me confused: 1) You started off saying that both Christians and atheists get Genesis wrong and cite as example the differences in Genesis 1 and 2. I don't understand how this is an example of atheists being wrong about Genesis. Atheists point out the differences in narrative and origins of these accounts as evidence that they aren't the same story and cannot both be true. You seem to agree with this so how are atheists getting this wrong in your opinion? 2) You then say that both Christians and atheists get the origins of humans wrong and cite a strange version of biological evolution that isn't found in science. Humans didn't "come from monkeys" by any biological or genetic account and different monkeys didn't evolve into different human races. I am unsure where you would be getting this scenario but it seems as though you have been listening to unscientific sources that distort scientific concepts (like Ken Ham does). What atheists are you referring to that propose these concepts? 3) Uniformitarianism and catstrophism as you described them are not differing/opposing concepts. Science recognizes both mechanisms working to varying degrees in biological and geological history. In times of relative ecologic stability evolution is a very slow and gradual process. Sharks being relatively unchanging for hundreds of millions of years is a great example of this. However, when environments change drastically due to any number of factors (including the cataclysmic events you listed) life must adapt rapidly or die. Again, it seems you may have either misunderstood certain sources of information or have been listening to distorted science from unscientific sources. 4) There is a reason "electric universe" concepts and "expanding earth" concepts are not accepted by science...and, no, it has nothing to do with any conspiracy to unfairly suppress these ideas. They simply do not hold up to scientific scrutiny. 5) There is a much simpler explanation for flood stories across multiple cultures than a single cataclysmic event or "mysterious beings". Throughout history humans have usually migrated and settled where flooding can occur because these periodically flooded lands tend to have richer ecologies for gathering, hunting and farming to sustain communities. Then when the inevitable next big flood occurs that takes a big toll on that community, harrowing stories (often with supernatural elements) will arise to explain them. To many of these cultures a particularly large and devastating flood would likely seem like the entire world must have flooded.

I can listen to you all day long. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤

Maybe I am wrong, but, with all due respect, your God or Higher Power seems to be research, being right about facts, memorization, intellectualization, philosophy. In my former circle of supportive friends, it was considered a joke when one of us said, "Ive been thinking" because thinking often gets us humans into trouble. It struck me, for example, when you said something to the effect of, "If I resolve my migraine issue,..." The emphasis on I. With all due respect, I think you take a lot of (too much) pride in self sufficiency, which I believe you picked up in childhood (the memorization YOU could do, the feasts YOU (and others) made, the 12 hour days YOU studied the BIble, etc. Perhaps you were just shown legalism and doctrine and facts and getting everything rignt and "look at us" having it all together and never shown love and how to be interdependent on one another? Didnt Jesus chastise Martha (or was it Mary?) when she got upset at her sister because she thought it was unfair SHE was doing all the work while her sister visited with Jesus or whatnot? I dont know if you saw it, but I commented on your other video yesterday about how perhaps your childhood home, which shaped your outlook, seemed to be one of religious addiction - a very, very misunderstood phenomenon. Isnt more of God better? It depends on the motive. I dont know, but your childhood may have been similar to mine (alcoholism in my Dad) in that there was no emphasis on connection, love, depth, tolerance for mistakes - only rigidity, appearances, perfection (as you said, "word perfect), striving. As I said, maybe I am wrong, but my gut says you were, as you know, misled in your childhood, AND you are still misled - albeit in another direction. May I suggest taking a long, long break from thinking, researching, debating, defending, updating? Perhaps your self worth is wrongly wrapped up in how well you can elucidate your thoughts on this matter, as perhaps in your childhood you only felt love when you made to perform in the name of God?

1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of.

It makes my heart hurt to hear you persuade others to Not follow Christ. You will sadly pay a heavy price one day for it 😞 I pray God convicts your heart and you turn back towards him. The Bible plainly states that in the end times that they will be a great falling away and I'm afraid that is what you were experiencing and that saddens my heart.

Hi, I have had a similar journey to you but could not pretend to have the equivalent intellect and our level of rigorous study. Your analysis and conclusion that you are atheistic is my position and I believe would be echoed by most people who would be labelled an atheist and here it comes. . . . HOWEVER. Your starting position on evolution that; 'we all came from monkeys' is I have to say not worthy of your normal standards of enquiry. We do not all come from monkeys as I am sure you will learn. To deny evolutionary biology is a major floor this fact has driven significant research and the fruits of that research are Benefitting millions of people around the world today. Evolution by natural selection is a fact there are many consequences like most scientific discoveries that are not yet fully understood but by the accepted definitions within the scientific community it is fact. Best regards Trevor

Her words say what is true, she does not care about your soul...open your ears saints. The time will come when they will not endure sound doctine and heap up for their itching ears false teachers... I turn to the comment section and say repent! Turn to the living god. Forsake foolish and idle babble. If you heed her words and not the words of the crucifed one, you will shipwreck your faith. Do not deny the holy one! Why do you want to be bewitched?! You are all mad. Listen to the risen jesus! Let his words abide in you and you will live!!! Dont turn back. Endure until the end! Hear now The gospel; he suffered and died upon the tree, crucified for our sin, he was buried 3 days, and he rose again to new life. Repent and believe the gospel and be saved! Stop being faithless and cowards! The lord promised eternal life in the Son. Will you forsake such a man who was innocently crucifed on your behalf?! And listen to her? Was she crucifed for you? Was she scorned by sinners for you? Did she carry your infirmaties? Has she fed you with living bread and true drink? Has she given you of her spirit? Why put up with such evil? Why let her steal your crown? She is lying to you. This is not the path to life. I am the way, i am the truth, i am the life. No man comes to the father, except by me. -jesus Brothers and sisters truly in christ, flee from her destruction! And pray for her saving. But do not recieve her errors. The master jesus is coming.

I now understand after listening to you. You're spending your life trying to disprove or look for everything incorrect which I understand just like the Pharisees did. But I wonder why you choose in all your reverence books and theories from people that came later. You want the Truth, it's only in Christ Jesus. By His Spirit alone will the misery of this world be revealed to you. All I see is someone fighting the truth. All the same God loves you and you still have time to worship Him or look for Him in spirit and in truth. God bless you.

re: your ideas about evolution at 13mins in: It's worth noting that everybody shares a common ancestor by DNA. For you and your brothers, we only have to go back 1 generation to find the common ancestor. For you and someone from another country, we'd have to go back further. But everyone has a common ancestor eventually - and you can prove that with exactly the same DNA test you use to establish paternity. You can do the same with chimps - using exactly the same test. if the test works for paternity, it works for establishing your link to chimps and everything else on earth. If you have a problem with this test, then you'd need to overturn every criminal conviction based on DNA evidence. Nobody claims, or has ever claimed that different monkeys gave rise to different races. All humans currently alive had the same ancestors - some of us are tall, some are short, some have blue eyes, some have brown, some are black, some are white. That's it. DNA tests establish this beyond reasonable doubt. Also, your ideas about "pure races that have not intermingled with other races" are a dangerous deviation from established fact. There are no races that have not "intermingled" - a DNA test of anyone on the planet - even members of the most isolated indigenous tribes - has shown that significant mixing of genes has occurred throughout the last 2 million years. There is no such thing as a "pure" race and all the differences you describe are matters of degree present in all humans from everywhere. This isn't an opinion, it's right there in the DNA if you do a little googling.

Without Jesus, you are doomed. You have no one to turn to. Turn before it's too late.

Quote you- I will not be swayed- congratulations on your inability to learn any more on this subject, you deciding you know and won't be swayed is similar to being dead.

People are choosing the things of the flesh instead of the things of the Spirit. Living for pleasure instead of living for God and His kingdom. Living for NOW instead of ETERNITY. The "NOW" is fleeting and doesn't last, the things of God will last FOREVER. What will you be doing a million years from now? Enjoying all God has prepared for those who love HIM? Or realizing you made the mistake of the ages, in failing to come to Jesus Christ? Repent (change your mind) of your sin and turn to Jesus today while there is still time.

Have you tried the carnivore diet? There are a lot of MDs and surgeons that support this diet with quality science to back it up. There are many testimonials on RU-vid of people claiming that it solved many issues like migraines.

I missed you so much, so sorry to hear about your migrain. Please stay active on RU-vid we need your unique perspective .I would like to hear your take on the life after death through a dedicated video . I wish you healthy life :)

All you need now is to bury your intellectual pride...

Age of Pisces, Age of Aquarius...Sounds like you have become "New Age" and are engaging in apologetics for the current man-made (military made) catastrophes and evil we are being subjected to.

Your information on races is incorrect. You have to take into account genetic diversity, meaning humans and animals had high genetic diversity. This allowed their descendants to take on sometimes very different characteristics. Regarding humans, we are actually very closely related and the outward or cultural differences are actually very minor. If you want to regard the science of skin color, science now says that white skin is an adaptation to northern climates and that about 9,000 years ago, white people were brown skinned, but lost pigment over time to absorb vitamin D. The ‘race’ or people with the highest genetic diversity come from the area of Ethiopia. This means that this group of people can have offspring with very different characteristics depending on environment. Regarding animals, keep in mind that the great diversity that we see in dogs comes from the grey wolf, and that most of the very different breeds we see today were all created by human breeding *over just the past 300 YEARS.* Certain animals have high genetic diversity and produce varying offspring.

2 Peter 2:21 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire

Hey! I really enjoyed listening to your videos that I’ve watched so far. I’ve never thought that I would be on this journey that I am on… I’ve been questioning my faith and the Bible recently. When someone has put there trust in this for some time and realizes that this may not be the truth, it hurts… it’s frustrating. It’s like what hope do we have now?

And I bet now you live a really good happy relaxed life not a complication in your life or in your brain from religion or Bibles that's what I do

Aren't hispanics really a mix of different aboriginal ethnic groups though?

Your videos are great! I’m a recent DEconvert myself. No legitimate scientist claims we evolved from monkeys. We all share a common ancestor prior to many forks in the evolutionary road. You oversimplified that theory a little too much in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

Hey Jen, I enjoyed the video! I'm curious as to whether or not you read Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. You might find some answers to your questions on where we came from!

You still don’t get it. The bible / religion only tries to describe an invisible force we call god. God is not dependent on our descriptions.

I was a truth seeker too, I looked into many religions on my long journey and came to a different conclusion, which was that Christianity is true and that Jesus Christ is the truth. I don’t agree with a lot of the teaching you will find out there, it is a bit of a minefield, but fundamentally I believe that Jesus came to reveal god to us, where we fit into the plan of creation and that he is trustworthy, despite the failings of the church and the people who represent it. I think when it comes to seeking truth it is a very unreliable process at best for three reasons. Firstly, when people dig into the bible and analyse it using writings and opinions from a multitude of sources, if those sources are not 100% correct, even if they only have 1% error, then you can end up with a lot of error in your understanding especially over many years of study involving many sources. The more data the more error. It doesn’t take much error to make us off beam. We really don’t know how reliable any sources are. Then we have our own bias’s and filters/belief systems through which we interpret the world around us. Two people can read the same passage and read it differently. Some interpret passages of the bible literally others allegorically or spiritually, who is to say which is right. We all have different experiences and points of view and sensitivities which bias us in some way and our thoughts are often skewed because of painful experiences. Lastly, the bible says we are in a spiritual battle, there are forces out there deliberately working to keep us from god, to get in the way and deceive us and cause us to shy away from god in some way, essentially to believe lies, such as god is not for us, does not have our best interest at heart or that god does not exist. If we expose ourselves to erroneous teachings without god’s protection we are likely to go off track. I suppose the point is we are not wired up naturally or is the world configured to know the truth. We will each bring ourselves into the mix, we can easily go either way. Just as Jen studied and came to conclusions that led her to leave Christianity so there are many who have studied the bible, often to try to discredit it, and have become Christians as a result, such as with the person who wrote the book ‘Who Moved the Stone.’ I think if we really want to know the truth about god then god has to help us. Jesus said he is the truth and says to come to him and ask him, seek him, knock on his door. He says he will respond to us. Not necessarily in the way we may expect, but he promises to respond to those who call on his name. We can pray something like Lord Jesus Christ, if you are the truth, if you are truly god, please show yourself to me, please guide me into the truth. We can easily get bogged down with doctrines and different teachings, and be burdened and put off Christianity. Maybe we lose sight of the main thing and it’s simplicity.. To my mind the main thing, the cornerstone of faith, is not all that stuff but that Christianity is a personal relationship with god though faith in a person, Jesus Christ. It is believing and trusting in him. Not fundamentally trusting in words that are open to interpretation, but trusting in a person. We have to take a step of faith in him. I think the only way of being sure that we live in the truth about god and don’t get distracted and off track by many sources, man made ideas with errors and deceptions, is to reach out to Jesus personally, directly, who is the truth, in humility and honesty. God (Jesus) promises to lead us into the truth and guide us as we trust in him and discern what we read and hear through his inner presence. Without that connection, looking to him for guidance and protection as we explore, I think we are vulnerable. The bible says we need the spirit of god to guide us into truth because of the spiritual battle in which we reside and our lack of natural spiritual discernment. Jesus promises to live in those who trust in him through the Holy Spirit and to guide us into all truth. I think we all need to know the truth about god’s love and why we need to have faith in Jesus. God wants a relationship with us so he can bless us and fulfil the destiny and purpose for which we were created, to be like him. For the truth seeker I think this video has much truth in it and is highly recommended www.youtube.co

I went from 2005 and on... I came to realize there is an "energy" we are connected to. I call it the Universal Energy that's available to all. It will play with you, bring you things, tell you truths, and helps heal you. It has a sense of humor too. And it uses numbers and nature to connect to you.

I was at a funeral yesterday. Church people there a lot. A church i went to semi casually yrs ago. The guy died. All the talks how he is in heaven and raised up in Christ. Seems like something to make people feel better about death. Im having a crisis today in bed all day, im not so sure I believe this anymore

I walked away from Christianity. As a Native American adopted into a Lutheran Pastors family and been programmed . It took me awhile to deprogram myself. I now am a believer in my Native spiritual beliefs and my life has changed positively . Just telling my story .

Just go back to Christianity you went more crazy in atheism lol 😅

You should ask God for guidance for which religion is his true religion with sincerity and real will to follow it even it is against your desire.

Jesus is the best candidate of a “prototype for human evolution”. Evolution requires three things to proceed: 1. Different at birth, 2. A survival advantage, 3. Numerous descendants. Born of a virgin, was Jesus not different at birth? Did his rising from the dead not show Jesus is a survivor? Does not billions of people who have Jesus living in them not show God has many children? But for some unknown reason evolutionists completely ignore this most important and unique person.

Hello! From your original video talking about why you left Christianity, you said you lived in Salem Oregon. I live in salem right now, maybe we went to the same church! I went to Salem first baptist. I havnt been in about a year since I also left Christianity. I hope you are doing well! Your story is super interesting.

Thank you for your videos and honesty. I have a pile of interlinear bibles and lexicons on my desk waiting to be explored. I am 64 and have been questioning my faith for a while. I prayed on the steps of my church when i was 15 asking Jesus to come into my heart. Whenever i came across passages that didnt make sense., I was told to just believe. My mind doesnt work that way. I am on the path to truth now.

What are your thoughts on flat earth?! It seems all ancient religions believed in it!

I’m very confused how can you not be atheist but also not interested in religion or spirituality? What other bracket is there? Are you agnostic?

Oh Lord...you were doing so well until the stars...transfer of energy lol

Anyone who starts by quoting Darwin when seeking to describe evolution, demonstrably doesn't have a clue what they are talking about.

Pride destroys. As she moves farther and farther from the hope of the gospel, she becomes sadder and sadder. I was a new ager for 53 years. After a miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ 7 years ago, I haven't looked back. The Bible proves itself. The 365 messianic prophecies further prove the Bible is supernatural. I found those after my encounter with Jesus Christ. I don't think this woman is reachable at this point. My concern is for you. Do not trust this poor arrogant soul who was tossed and turned over and over never understanding the simplicity of Jesus Christ. The book of Colossians is about 4 pages long. It tells you how to go to heaven by itself. Read the Bible for yourself over and over focusing on the New Testament which is only 400 pages. All glory, praise, and thanksgiving to Jesus Christ who died for me and you.

The genetic section of the video is a horror show, I can't tell what is trying to be said, but it doesn't sound good, or attached to reality at all. What are the specific 14 haplogroups and races you're referring to? All humans alive on the planet today share one single most recent mtDNA common ancestor (mt-MRCA), and one single most recent Y-DNA ancestor (Y-MRCA). These individuals did not necessarily live at the same exact time or place, nor did they necessarily mate with each other. The individual who is a MRCA changes over time, in the past the mt-MRCA and Y-MRCA were different individuals than the ones we have today. In people living at some point in the far future, their MRCA will be different individuals than the MRCAs that belong to us today. The non-African lineages of mtDNA and Y-DNA clades nest within the African ones, which corroborates the origin and out-of-Africa expansion of our species. Humans don't evolve from monkeys, humans technically ARE monkeys in the cladistic sense. We nest genetically and morphologically within simiiformes, which is a clade we share with extant monkeys. We share a common ancestor, as demonstrated by the fact that our genomes contain numerous non-coding transposable element locations/sequences that are shared with extant monkeys.

Nothing but respect for your life story and the little bits I’ve heard! Wow. You and I have so much in common as far as influence and journey. You already rival Jordan Peterson in my mind just from the little bit I’ve heard of you. What a refreshing original approach you are taking. The truth really does set you free right!? Keep up the search!

Expanding universe theory means the earth was much smaller and the stars much closer? Excuse me. What!?! A few thousand years ago at that!? Mind-bogglingly ignorant. I was kinda digging this until she said that. All the science I’ve seen suggest the earth is actually LOSING mass. Folks will come up with and say anything. I’m bailing on that one lol.

Just wanted to say thanks and I hope you are doing well! You said some things with Derek that really helped put words to my experience. Know your reach is far, wide and appreciated.

Jesus Christ reveals himself. That is why some Christians will die for their faith. They KNOW their God is true. Ask God daily and read his word until he answers your call. Get excited. Heaven is real.

Excellent work, great ideas. I'm still a "Christian" but I've become more critical in my thinking and more open to listening to deconversion stories. What I like about yours is your critical thinking as opposed to hurt by church or God and Christians didn't live up to expectations or poor poor me stories. Love it your videos.

What discrepancy?? Your questions or points you have made are easily answered.... you kept saying in another video these things are Only for Israel.... God told Abraham "All the nations will be blessed through You ".... many other points you thought no one could answer but there Easily answered. Your either not intellectually honest or Willfully blind.
