How Jesus Changes Everything (with Jeff Myers) 

Does anyone else realize Sean and Jeff both got the same hairstyle? XD

My husband has an incurable and untreatable neurological disorder. He is 57 years old. It is a horrible disease and he’s in the hospital right now in a completely delirious state of consciousness after his kidneys started to fail. If this was our truth and that was the only truth there is I would be beyond despair but I know there is a Truth beyond our circumstances and that gives me hope.

Awesome..Truth IS Jesus..

Thank you for an amazing conversation! I grew up in a family of people that didn’t know how to have a meaningful conversation without yelling at one another. I struggle mightily with this when I’m with them. I’m trying to change. Sean, your videos teach me so much. And Jeff, I can’t wait to buy your book!

"I WAS ALWAYS THAT KID GROWING UP ASKING WHY," this quote incapsolates me perfectly. I will follow any rule and adhere to any standard if there is a good enough answer to the question WHY. I've been seen as combative to authority.. But ever since I've been little I needed to know the reason why before I'd submit. I couldn't explain my reasoning or what it was that satisfied me in hearing the answer to that question. But growing older it seems as though it was my pursuit of truth. I wanted a reason grounded in fact and reality. I've never liked people's personal preferences being forced onto me. God has always answered my questions. When I was accused of being a bratty child I retreated to the scriptures. I found rest with Him. I was able to forfeit my desires because His reasons were sufficient.

I really like dr. Myers points. I never thought about how countries that start out predominantly Christian are more accepting, compassionate and even financially better off then countries that weren't. But that hardly seems to check out. And his reasoning behind it makes quite a lot of logical sense.

Thank you Sean and Jeff for such an enjoyable, enlightening and encouraging conversation. Just loved this. Monny

3 min 30 sec in and I'm already tearing up. That's a high bar guys. David A. Noebel and Dr. Fred Schwarz were the two guys who helped me understand the importance of worldview. Jeff had big shoes to fill and he is doing a great job.

Wise and gentle men, wonderful. Dr McDowell is a national treasure. Some of the best interviews and reasonable discourse on utube. Great guests, great questions. Thoroughly engaging and provocative content. Much love from California. Dr Myers is a great thinker, I hope to get his book. Today both men together are a revelation.

A thank you letter to God

Fascinating questions and excellent responses. One of the best interviewers by far, Dr. Sean McDowell! I feel that he represents the person, who wants to know these intricate questions of life.I appreciate this channel.

Thank you, gentlemen. Sounds like a great book.

Thank you both for sharing the truth of Jesus Christ! He is truly God who came to earth! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! Our Hope forever!

How I hope my grandsons (I'm not discriminating. My only granddaughters are our daughter's two female dogs.) can study with these amazing men. I have become a meddling granny so worried that our children and grandsons will follow the ways of their atheistic but wordly wise grandfather.

For me the book would be "make friends" with God, others and our environment (built and natural).

Thanks!

Getting to those Job level afflictions/tests for real. But the Blessings after/in such trials are something else. I need to finish the video lol but thank you for sharing

Blessed are you who are blind now. Blessed are those who do not know now. Blessed are you who are sick now. Blessed are you who have not seen the son of man. Blessed are you who are crippled. Blessed are you who are deaf. Blessed are you who are dumb. Most blessed are you who are dead now. Woe to you who can see now. Woe to you who know now. Woe to you who are healthy now. Woe to you who have seen the son of man. Woe to you who can walk. Woe to you who can hear. Woe to you who can speak. Most woes to you who are alive now.

Perspective is relative. Truth is firm and unchanging. Modern people get the two things mixed up.

The altar of religion and the altar of politics has done so much harm to humanity. Only worshipping through the altar of Jesus is where we find peace and freedom, both for ourselves and for the world.

For those wishing to pursue the philosophy of this check out Esther Lightcap Meek, a mainstream protestant who takes our relation to god as the model for knowing (roughly speaking). She has a popular introduction to her work called something like A Little Manual for Knowing.

If medieval Europe was based on Christianity there was an awful lot of prejudice and injustice. Suffering was around before the Enlightenment as well as after it. The problem with the argument about the relationship of different freedoms is the 'therefore'. It seems more likely that they arose together.

There are notions of equality outside Europe (where Christianity is influential) eg in Chinese faiths and Buddhism (which did much to undermine the caste system).

For a secular scholar making the case for the importance of Christianity to our current values there is Tom Holland's Dominion.

What book would I write? Look for truth, not what your ego desires. "My work" is not that important. Ask Solomon who made great things, said wisdom the world envied. Possessed great wealth. "When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man"

There's head knowledge and there's heart knowledge. From the head knowing perspective, I can't prove that God exists because God is supernatural. The supernatural does blend into the natural, and as such I do think a reasonable argument can be made for it's existence, but it's not something one can ultimately put in a jar and study, which is the kind of things nonbelievers wish when they say proof. When a Christian says I know Jesus/Christianity is the truth, we say this with heart knowledge. Anyone who has the Holy Spirit in them has this heart knowledge. You just KNOW, but someone who doesn't have the Holy Spirit in them will never really understand.

I need to send my 17 y.o. to Summit. How do I find more info about it?

Truth isn't the same thing as meaning.

At last, someone with great evidence that the bible Is true.

Yes, they do don’t they? I wish I still had hair. 😂

Conjoined twins with two heads that can control one body, one head wants to be a missionary the other a mercenary or what about a pastor and prostitute or gay and hetro. How do the god christians believe in judge them for there doings?

FIND TRUTH IN SCIENCE ONLY . . . ponder it, then DEAL WITH IT IS!

What is with their hair?

Mr Jeff God Bles You

Does he believe in going to paradise after death or not? Anything he experiences here is doo-doo compared to heaven...right?

Proof your religion is a ficion: In Reference to Deuteronomy 32:8-9 "I should add here that it is very clear from the grammar that the noun nachalah in v. 9 should be translated “inheritance.” Yahweh receives Israel as his “inheritance” (nachalah), just as the other sons of El received their nations as their inheritance (nachal, v. 8). With this verb, especially in the Hiphil, the object is always what is being given as an inheritance. Thus, Israel is given to Yahweh as his inheritance.6 It would make no sense for Elyon to give himself an inheritance. Moreover, as I’ve argued elsewhere, it is not just the Gentile nations that are divided up according to the number of the sons of El. It is all of humankind, i.e., “the sons of Adam.” This clearly includes Israel. And the sons of Adam are not divided up according to the number of the sons of El, plus one (i.e., plus Elyon). They are divided up, according to the text, solely according to the number of the sons of El. Thus, that Yahweh receives Israel as his inheritance makes Yahweh one of the sons of El mentioned in v. 8. Any other construal of the text would constitute its rewriting." ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Canaanite pantheon was conceived as a divine clan, headed by the supreme god El; the gods collectively made up the Elohim. Through the centuries, the pantheon of Canaanite gods evolved, so that El and Asherah were more important in earlier times, while Baal and his consorts came to fore in later years. Asherah - early semitic Mother goddess, "Lady of the sea," consort of El, also called Athirat, the mother of 70 gods El - the chief deity, god of the sky, father of many lesser gods and ruler of the divine assembly, also worshiped by the Israelites El Elyon -Special title of El as "God most High" The Book of Genesis itself describes the patriarch Abraham as a worshiper of El-also called El Shaddai and El Elyon -- building altars, offering sacrifices, and paying tithes to him. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Deuteronomy 32:8 When Elyon (El) gave to the nations their allotted inheritances, when he divided the sons of Adam, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of El (El and Asherah had 70 sons and in line with the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 (70 nations) each son (Elohim) received a particular territory or people like the Canaanite god Chemosh in Numbers 21:29) Yahweh’s portion was his people, Jacob, the lot of his allotted inheritance (Yahweh was given Israel by his father, the chief Canaanite god El). Psalm 82 ’Elohim (Yahweh) stands in the council of ’El (chief Canaanite god) In the midst of the gods (Elohim) he holds judgment. “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked? Selah Render justice to the weak and the fatherless; vindicate the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” They have neither knowledge nor understanding; they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, “You are gods (Elohim), sons of Elyon (El), all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince.” Rise up, O ’Elohim (Yahweh), judge the earth; for you shall inherit the nations! Google "The Most Heiser: Yahweh and Elyon in Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 - Religion at the Margins" based on the majority scholarly consensus.

Jeff's story of recovery makes me glad for Jeff, but personally sad and angry. Instead of seeking the actual useful naturalistic treatments, like intensive chemotherapy that Jeff received, family members sought primarily after prayer and homeopathic 'organic' alternatives until it was too late. Christian beliefs do provide many benefits, but at times also cause great harm. Jeff cites a lot of great oughts that he thinks come from Christianity and can't be derived purely naturalistically. I disagree. Many were around long before Christianity and there are plenty of ways Secular Morality can be derived. I also hope Jeff realizes he has selectively chosen many Biblical oughts he thinks are good but omitted oughts I think we would agree are bad.

"How the Truth of Jesus Changes Everything" Yes it does, if you're a believer. The truth is bible Jesus is a fictional character in cult mythology. Even then, the concept and story is nonsensical. Just goes to show some people will believe any nonsense, especially if this nonsense promises a fantasy escape from their fear of mortal reality.

“Truth exists and it’s Jesus “. Really? You failed to define what you mean by truth. Truth is a concept not a person. The Acts of Jesus is not objective knowledge it’s magical thinking. It’s interesting that you went to the Doctor when you became Unwell and not to church to pray for wellness.

All this guest did was what he accused others of doing... WWI... if you don't start with Biblical sources and his own selected stories....
