“I’m terrified what would happen to you if you actually believed” That is the words of a man who is at the precipice of faith and worried he would lose himself if he commits fully. Let me tell you, you become more like the you that you wish you could be.
Thank you, I kinda need to hear this. Also this remind me of The Tiger metaphor in "Life of Pi" which I think stands for the courage to have faith (when Pi finally let the Tiger in the boat with him since deep down, he needed that Tiger)
Yeah... he confuses me. What's so scary to realize that there's another plain of existence beyond this one? One that's beyond our full understanding, and one that the ruler of and creator of this one sent a version of himself through to better teach us and show us a better way? That's not frightening, that's liberating. It means I don't have to have all the answers and means that at the end of the day someone is there at least watching me. Through my absolute worst moments, I'm never alone.

"Sometimes the objective world and the narrative world touch." This is, I think, exactly what JRR Tolkien was getting at when he told CS Lewis that "the story of Christ was simply a true myth: a myth working on us in the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference that it *really happened* ."
One of the huge reasons why I’m always a Tolkien fan, his work was greatly impacted by his faith. You compare the structure of The Bible with his structure of The Simarillion and it’s overwhelmingly similar.
"the Word" was the term purposely used by the writer of the Gospel of John to describe Jesus. It was an intentional and direct comparison of the Platonic idea of the "Logos" (which means word in greek.). The logos in greek thought was the abstract ideal from which all things are made. In fact, John 1 even says that "all things were made through him, and nothing was made that was made without him."
@@monkieassasin it turns out as well that “Logos” was being used by Jewish writers of the Second Temple period (Dead Sea Scrolls) to refer to theophanic episodes in Scripture. The way that John the Evangelist brings those two threads together by his identification of Jesus with the Logos is truly amazing.
When you have enough intelligence to you know there’s more to the story than you can ever fully comprehend, it is very frightening. "Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12)
You need to understand that his wife defeated cancer as the only recorded one in the world with her type. After she started to pray the rosary daily. That's why he believes and says it touches the reality of his actual life.
@@fish4096 Adam and Eve did, in a sense. This is a fallen world, because humans sinned. Some of it is direct, like murder and theft, some of it is indirect, like cancer. God values free will higher than the absolute absence of sin. And if we have free will, we can choose suffering, and if we live in a world where others have free will, they can make us suffer. That doesn't mean God wants them to do it. But he gives them the choice. And Jesus also speaks of picking up our cross. So maybe suffering is necessary in a sense. I don't have all the answers, but as far as I know, that is the introduction to it. But I think those children suffering from cancer have a much higher chance than me of getting into heaven.
I am so grateful for @Jordan Peterson. I have been struggling for quite some time with doubting my religion and christianity, but at the same time an inability to distance myself from it mentally and emotionally. It has caused me deep pain and discomfort to try and make sense of it all and to know what is true and what is not. To see other people, brilliant people like Peterson, going through the same, gives me some comfort.
Yea feels the same. I question myself why I should believe in something that I dont believe in. Theres a big dilemma. Maybe you have to fake it to make it? But thats not the way I operate.
I used to deny Christ in my pride and shunned Him out of my life, denying His existence. Let me tell you, He looked after me when I made every bad decision possible and nearly ruined my life and myself. He entered my life gradually. Once the door was cracked, He opened it gradually and gradually more, convicting me of sin, blessing me, correcting me, etc. Now He guides my every step and I am totally blessed. No longer am I sad, but God has given me peace. Seek Him while He can be found with belief and with your whole heart. Not only will you be rewarded for your seeking - as you will find Him, for He turns none away (though your faith will be tested to see if it is genuine) - but you will be in awe of the power and love of Christ.
He's an idiot media personality. The more he chokes up.. The more you donate. Jesus was not looking for donations his whole life. Why does this imposter"? You really should ask more questions. Hey! A suggestion... TRY READING THE BOOK YOURSELF!
@@LeoRex13 I think it's beautiful though. Almost life affirming to know he really and truly is human. I can imagine he cried like this when he read Crime and Punishment. Bless him.
Praying for him. You know when you know and you can’t deny Him when you do. Faith doesn’t come from just the book, it comes from that relationship and walk where you see his fingerprints everywhere and you know it is Him.
If faith is a process to finding truth then how do I differentiate your belief and the belief that white people are better than black people are true? The answer is faith is not a process towards truth and you believe a collective delusion.
Wrong choice of words. Jordan crying is not holy. The holy spirit is working on his heart, him crying is humility and awareness of the state he is at. Him recognizing he is not holy, things that seem as though they were are not and things that are not to Jordan's belief is becoming more real. Thats why he is crying.
He needed a quiet place away from people, away from books, away from his anchors. He needed to let go and just focus on Jesus. "Into your hands, I deliver(ed) my spirit."
You can see that God has been working on his life trying to bring him to the truth. Hes so close but it takes a leap of faith..to believe in something that doesn't make complete sense to our minds. I pray that God continues to reveal himself to Jordan.
I love Jordan, and It fills me with Joy to Know that For all His Mental Acuity and Scientific Logic based Psycho-Analytical Capacities, He Is Brought to Tears, Because Our God Is Truly An Awesome God and Our Faith Will never Need Logic or science. When God Decides to Touch you, Nothing can Stop that.
I fully believe I was a non believer I was brought before god to atone for my sins when I crashed I crashed hard I've had such a profound change happen within me I'm humbled honored and In AWE that someone else could die for the sins I've committed filled with a light and a moral compass now I also feel no anger pain envy greed I'm not perfect at all but with Jesus I'm saved and ill never be asleep again once you have opened your eyes to the truth you cannot turn back you don't want to I'm willing to-do anything for the man who died for me and saved me Do I Fear god yes like I would my father with the same reverence and filial piety and respect love compassion empathy mercy that he's given me If I have to suffer I'm willing nothing in this world has ever give me that feeling of safety and true love where god says i go i go with the full knowledge he loves me
I HAD THIS EXACT MOMENT OF TERROR, and I broke down. It was with Lord Krishna. That moment will stay with me always, and even today I struggle to detail it. I'm very stunned that I can understand the scope of what Peterson is talking about. I stopped being an atheist because of it. I am still NOT a theist, but at the same time I'm not an atheist.
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Even if one believes that Christ only is a fairy tale character, - having him as an ideal will still have profound personal consequences. But now we know that he has really lived, and the consequences will be even greater.
I'd rather hold Julius Caesar and Alexander as ideals, their humans and have extreme faults but dared great deeds. One can have ideals and heros without believing in deities or dogmas
I respect some of the traits of Jesus but not some others. For example, he once got mad at an avocado tree and destroyed it. And he is supposed to be the son of God. Like lol
@@veganworldorder9394 sounds like you are twisting the scripture. The parable of the tree wasn’t producing any fruit so it was useless. The other tried had no leaves so it has no expectations.
I'm a Christian, and I can entirely get where he's coming from. In a certain sense, as you get deeper and deeper into understanding the nature of God: Someone beyond reality, Someone more real than reality. The idea that He is so great that His presence transcends every star and galaxy, but He is so knowing He knows everything about the universe down to the most microscopic detail, it is terrifying: almost like the universe itself is a liminal space that God transcends. Terrifying. Whether or not something is terrifying has no bearing on whether it's true or false, so if God is real, which I believe, it is important to acknowledge that reality. It is important to acknowledge the possibility of that reality, instead of hiding from that possibility in fear. Jordan Peterson is definitely someone who understands that the Christian God is a God of immense holiness, but I feel like his fear of the unknown is preventing him from looking into Christianity more.
@@dragoslav3859 That's not what I was saying. Perhaps we all should get grounded in observable facts instead of millinea-old books. That's what I'm saying.
@@MrSaemichlaus when you say millinea-old books I'm assuming you mean the Bible. I would hope that you would do your research in your own time to see how true it actually is, and that it is the power of salvation. Not gonna pester you about it, but even the miracles in the Bible were "observable facts" witnessed by hundreds, sometimes thousands of people. You could have 10 angels come down from heaven, lock arms, and do the riverdance right in front of you, but if your not willing to believe, then you simply won't. Take care Samuel.
@@dragoslav3859 You know what's an atheist's most powerful tool to disprove Christianity? The Bible. It's got so many plot holes and contradictions, it's worse than swiss cheese. In case of those miracles, you seem to take for granted that thousands of years ago, everybody was perfectly sane, had perfect eyesight and was well informed about all the corruption that happens around the world. All that before the emergence of any water-proof method of reliable science, modern technology and the internet. And you're right, if 10 angles showed to me, I would change my mind. The thing is this has never ever happened in front of everyone's eyes. And even if, I would suspect myself hallucinating to not waste anyone's time with my otherworldly claims. As Matt Dillahunty said - your god does not manifest himself, and is therefore indistinguishable from a non-existant one.
He’s the like the Greek philosophers in acts 17 in athens. It’s cool to see him talk about Jesus, but it’s intriguing to see his back and forth on it. Man’s heart is very stubborn.
I’ve often thought that if Christ were to appear before men there would be two reactions. Some would still not believe; and believers would probably pass out. I think God worked it out perfectly. Faith is what we as corporeal beings can handle.
As Jordan has grown to fully know. He's saved many people with his interviews the past couple of years. It's a true blessing when men like him who are so unbelievably smart and logical and eloquent, and have a such a wide reaching impact come to truly know the Lord. I mean he literally changed the heart and mind of someone like Russel Brand and Joe Rogan.
@@dylanphelan3010I wonder, why do we need to believe that Jesus is God to be saved? Isn't it enough if we say "we accept Jesus as savior if he is god, even though we're not convinced he is god"?
@@samuellarsson3842 it takes a lot to be able to admit to yourself that one’s own half-baked intellect may not be the best guide to help them through life
stfu organized religion is a mental illness based around unearned moral superiority and arrogance (proving my point with your assumption above). Honestly the broken brain of a zealot and a far leftist are no different. Extremism. And Jordan is far more nuanced in his approach to religion he doesn't arrogantly state his faith in an omnipotent cartoon god but the knowledge passed down by man to reach enlightenment. Its his understanding of psychology and his dissection of religion that illustrate the momentousness of humans defying baser instincts to create morality out of thin air but again a zealot like you only sees what they want and has maybe seen 1 hour of his lectures. Get fucked pick up a book
@@DoesNotInhale all false religion focuses on man's effort and his good deeds to achieve salvation . But the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only one that focuses only on Jesus Christ for salvation , it's not what you have done but what Jesus has done for you on the cross , Jesus righteous deeds is what covers us and makes us acceptable to God and we are saved from the coming wrath of God which is upon all who sins . Now such truths are revealed but the perishing ones considers it foolishness , but God has said that the foolishness of God is greater than man's wisdom and God's weakness greater than man's . strength .
I have seen Him. And my shame was too much to be able to look at Him in the eyes. And though as blessed as I am to have seen the Lord, blessed are those who believe and do not see. He said to me, "Will you not give up all things and follow me?"

I think Jordan is counting the cost of following Christ and for him It is very serious because he strives to live out his beliefs, not just espouse them as most of us are prone to do. Thus, once committed, Jordan would bind himself to obey God and his commandments no matter the cost. Thank you Jordan for sharing your heart and mind with the rest of us. Continue to count the cost but know with 100% assurance that giving all to Jesus is always worth it! God bless you Brother!
Why is Christ only helping him, why doesn’t he help Buddhists and shintoists or Taoist cause only 31.11 percent of people are Christian. God is literally evil for letting satan out of hell. Cause if you haven’t noticed satan and other religions is a creation of god. God is also evil for making humans evil gee I wonder why were not in eden.

@@TheHitman- it’s an unfair test where god never appears. If god created us to be both evil and good doesn’t that make god evil because if that’s the case the holocaust is a byproduct of god.

He believes. His talking as a scholar about other myths and mythical figures. If he didn’t believe he wouldn’t even cry.

Waiting for you to take hold of the fact he sent his son to die the death that YOU AND I DESERVE!! Waiting for you to dig into his word for your redemption!

@@MrSaemichlaus I've educated myself pretty well. But perhaps you should reconsider your morality more than your education, because if anything, your attitude towards people who differ from you is pretty toxic. Believe what you will, but I've examined the evidence I've been presented, and how I've been raised, and this is me. No words of some random stranger on the internet are gonna change that. And most likely, it goes both ways. If I were you, I'd just consider trying not to look like a crude and rather inconsiderate jerk in the future.
I experience this too and I ponder on it a lot. I don't fully consciously understand why it happens but subconsciously, I am responding to something deep down. Reconnecting with my faith and moving forward on the journey of spirituality has become one of my top priorities. It has given me a sense of peace I haven't known for a very, very long time.
Amen. I can be reading some dry theology or an inspiring devotional, or just looking at my infant son. The scales just fall from your eyes and you get to see by faith, if only for a moment. It's not comparable to the comforts of this world

Peterson's tears reveal perhaps his sense of mourning over the his realization at a soul level of the bankruptcy of man's wisdom in light of absolute truth.
I always find it very touching when Jordan Peterson cries. He's so genuine and relatable and I greatly admire him for that. Not very many men (or women for that matter) would let themselves genuinely cry on camera. I hope he gets all the praise he deserves for this
Crying is always seen as a weakness, or something that makes others uncomfortable. But when it comes to Jesus Christ, your tears are well deserved because you have an idea of how much He loves us.
@@codycox2685 At best, women will find it touching. My husband cries and I love that about him.

i can relate to him in some sense.. because, a month after realizing that God is real, Christ is real.. i am still absorbing that reality, i cannot grasp it fully, it's too vast to absorb, my human mind rather rejects it to be false, but my faith pushes to hold on, the reality of Jesus is too overwhelming to handle but i do believe, God is and will lead me to know Him, bit by bit
It’s so profound to read a comment that fully encapsulates how I’m feeling with my newfound faith in Christ. Going through the wheel of atheism into Buddhism into a general amorphous monotheism led to Christ in such a gradual way it was like God opening this flower in my soul. Don’t worry, just know you’re not alone in this. we’re all stumbling through our faith like children in a pond.

you could say he's a real Christian. And to be honest, there really isn't many of them. most are sheep, the goal is to strive to be a Shepard. Yet belief has people simply remaining sheep
@Jesse R most christians also ignore how a lot of the bible canon is plagiarised from other holy books or mythology. Noah's ark.. does the flood of Gilgamesh ring a bell??

High-doses of serotoninergics taken regularly will do that to a (weak) person, and he was never really a strong one. He knows it. The spontaneous bouts of emotion, his inability to sleep often, and of course the withdrawal symptoms are all derivative of the medication he's been taking for years, and he knows it. So, you deserve the truth. It's the painful kind, obviously, in this case. But if you're really interested, you can see some _wild_ spiritual resonance anytime you want, if you find a local dealer. Look for the hippies, and ask them for some "burning bush," they'll get your narrative overlapping with reality faster than you can finish a joint.
@@ladymercy5275 there will always be a naturalistic explanation, as there should be. Multiple alternative explanations are always best to explore as critical thinkers.

And total devotion, or sainthood, means the resistance of all temptation. Which is downright impossible? Maybe, maybe not. I think its possible. But darned difficult to say the least.
@@seanthomasmusic Definitely impossible. The wheel of time spins on sin. If you thought what happened in the "Garden of Eden" was a mistake, you weren't paying attention. That's not a curse on humanity, per se, it's the _nature of physical reality._ Put simpler, you wouldn't notice that you were conscious at all, if you weren't tempted by something you know you should resist. That's where the conscious part comes in, and a soul wakes up to find itself a living being. Of course, this would also mean it's true that we didn't need God or any of it to write that story, because if it's based on truth and reality than it could just be self-evidently obvious to any cave-dwelling philosopher with a keen sense of awareness and enough time spent dwelling on self reflection. So, if wondering if _that's_ true shakes the foundation of your faith, then you never had any to begin with. Would it bother you if humans weren't the only stars in this show?
@@ladymercy5275Wrong, it is possible and Jesus showed us the way. Pre-Christ it was impossible, post Christ it is possible. You don’t know what are you are talking about, but it is good to be curious and wrestle with such questions, I suppose.
@@Josh-tf9cr How many actually succeed? We hear of myths and legends, of great saints, but they are the exception, not the rule. Look at your average Christian. Look at yourself. Nobody reflects Christ. Just because Jordan cried means nothing. He has a history of drug addiction and depression, of course that man has cried before.
Well Saints perform miracles and that sort of thing does scare people think why Jesus intimidated people turning water to wine walking on water etc. If some guy you knew did that would it not freak you out a bit? The crucifixion was like a witch hunt because his powers scared people.
This is exactly how I feel about this topic. The deeper I go the more I'm separated from society and the so called reality that has been pulled over our eyes. I still cannot wrap my head around the complex simplicity
Don't think about the end think about the begginging because you can rest in Christ's strength knowing that you will then understand and believe him until the end of your days.
@M.G.C thankyou for speaking on my behalf (Andreas here) I don't feel it's necessary for the reality is you cannot trust the mind for its deceiving, however, the answers you seek are clearly stated in the Holy Bible, and that experience alone will lead all to truth if they seek it from within the heart. God bless you all on your journey 🙏😊
The amazing part of this to me is that a genuinely intellectual and now famous person is willing to admit that this could be a reality. It’s extremely rare, like 1 out of a million people with Mr. Peterson’s type of mind that comes to this conclusion, especially in an open way on RU-vid given his popularity. I applaud your courage and I know you will reap the benefit of your genuine thoughts and experience in coming to this conclusion. It is an amazing and hard thing to come to believe, especially given the age that your coming to this knowledge. I fully believe this as well and I think your understanding of things will continue to grow as you continue to seek for Christ. I say this because if he is and was the embodiment of God on earth and is Gods literal son, then he is who he says he is. The creator, alpha and omega, the father and the son, the Son of God, the Redeemer, the Savior, the lamb of god, the word of god, and ultimately he is Jesus Christ. He is still alive and is also very interested in each of us, and I would say very proud of his brother Jordan Peterson.
You are delusional in your thoughts that there is a God or Christ or Jesus, whatever you want to believe. We are supposed to be all of God's children? Then why is there so much hatred, cancer and every other disease that little children are suffering in other countries. Is he not those children's God? I don't think so
I’ve only felt His presence once. I was singing in St Michael’s cathedral in Hamburg for the Sounds of Hope tour. It was 1983, we were done singing and the girl I was with was crying like me.

@@steenystuff1075 i got saved on halloween,1997 very powerful, yes, crying quite a bit, i felt a little fear of God too, Jordan is right there, he so intelligent, makes me want to just push him into it, i mean, i know he feels the Lord out there, but i'm convinced hes right there i'm highly intelligent, i don't think on quite his level, i'm betting he's 150-155iq, mine is 147iq, he's brilliant, most m.d. drs have to score at least 120 to get into med school, so i imagine for most smart people it's hard to admit they need to lose control and give it to God, but i'm gonna pray for Jordan
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
God doesn't have a son. That is why he is the creator and we are the creation. Jesus a creator of God like any1 of us. Like the other prophets also. No difference
@@salahnasser1056 Jesus Christ was god in the flesh. The spirit of the creator being manifested in human flesh being fully man yet fully God all at once. Because he was born he is a child and therefore the child of the living God namely his only son Jesus Christ.Islam is a false religion that follows a false god. Islam is a cult of control through fear, pain and suffering. Christ brings freedom...Islam brings shackles
@@1stcivdiv81 does Jesus eat like me? Does he drink like me? Does he poop like me? Does his poop stinks or not? Does he sleep? Did he come out of a womb? Did he suck on his thump like me? Did he breast fed like me? Did his mother marry changed his diaper and wiped his butt like my mom and your mom did? If the answer to any of those questions is yes then Jesus who I love very much as a human, a prophet and servant to God, is not God.
He’s not a drug addict @Tom Giannini. It’s sick that you use that to diminish him, because this discussion about faith is threatening to you. He is an extraordinarily genius man who has gone through some horrible struggles, and God has used these experiences to bring him to a deeper place. I would tell you to try to keep up, but there’s no way your shallow and dismissive self would even hold the door for a man like Dr. Peterson.
@Tom Giannini - serious adult discussions don’t feature ad hominems, aspersion-casting, or faulty/hasty generalizations. As a healthcare provider I can assure you that many people become dependent upon prescription medications; this is not a reflection on their character nor their abilities. The fact that you think this is even relevant to bring up in the context of this discussion is embarrassingly stupid.
That's the Holy Spirit, Dr. Peterson. He's moving you so strongly I can feel Him through this video. it is that synchronicity, the Holy Spirit, that brought you to this point and I know brought me to this video because I really needed to see this, especially today. This was the most uplifting thing I have seen in a very long time. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord jesus? And why not lords shiva, ganesha, aphrodite, thor, allah, huichilopoztli, etc? Religionists discriminate, it’s understandable. And why not none of those silly fictitious entities? Why is it so hard to understand that all gods, bar none, can only live in our stupid imagination. Show me evidence and I’ll stop being obnoxious, deal?
@@guillermodozal7166 nobody owes you anything. i dont know who gave you this idea that the world revolves around you and that if we dont pull out a well written 59 page essay on how Jesus is real, that that somehow gives you the go ahead to be a massive prick. if you want to believe it, do. if you dont, dont. thats it.
you know what really is the most extreme terrefying; realizing your life is actually real. people (myself included) live like it is a dream, this realisation is too hard to realize.
"The difference between Christ and all other mythological gods that were born in the solstice is that Christ actually existed". -- Olavo de Carvalho, brazillian philosopher
Game on. Because of this, Christianity is a tainted religion, as all throughout the bible-belt, believers are worshipping pictures, and statues of a man. If you don't know why that's sinful, then you don't know the meaning of the terms and are better off leaving language to those who are actually literate, while you go argue pollute your mind with arguments about who's going to be the next *American Idol.* Need I be clearer than this? Shall I start counting to ten?
@@ladymercy5275 I think Christianity can be helpful if one doesn't take it literally and reads it as an archetypical story in which Jesus Christ actually *is* the truth. Seeking the truth at all costs is the way to go. And the truth is much different than what we've all been taught to believe. Problem is, I don't think most Christians do this, they tend to just conform to dogmatic beliefs and take the story literally.
Its so terrifying to fully believe in Jesus. In a manner of speaking hes right to believe in a God that would come to us in the flesh through Jesus Christ to die for my sins, your sins simply because he loves us it is terrifying but also glorious as well this is love thats incomprehensible. Before the creation of the universe he knew every single one of our names.
@@Benfiester jordan is on the path many people have been through. Wait until he realizes Catholic Church really is the Church God established. Now thats the moment when you really crap your pants. GK Chesterton wrote a book about that scary process. When God leads you to Truth, you are not happy you found out the Truth, you are terryfied because he put a responsobility on your shoulders
@@lawmaker22 Yep exactly. Personally I'm not Catholic in my faith but as a pastor's son myself I've seen my dad break through alot of people's skeptical brick walls and they break down crying but after comes overwhelming happiness. I had a personal experience myself seeing one of my best friends growing up break after I helped him see the truth.
@@lawmaker22 It's not about religion. It is about faith and finding Jesus in your life. The church can only do so much and the catholic church definitly isn't from God.
Being newly sober, especially after being numb and deaf to emotions for so long then finally beginning to feel again is a pretty profound thing to witness or have happen to you. Glad to see Dr. P processing on a real level of honesty like this and being vulnerable in conversation again. He's truly a scholar to the highest level.
@@natashapotatau4314 my addiction was to opiates and occasionally throwing a few benzo's into the mix. However, I've heard, as well as have had a family member try and explain the extreme emotional disassociation benzo's have on a person's demeanor. I found it hard enough to process my feelings just with what substances I was on but couldn't imagine how incredibly difficult it would be with klonopin like he was on. Plus, the side effects having a chance to give you seizures and stop your heart etc while trying to stop taking them, I have nothing but respect for anyone whos gone through that but mostly who've kicked any addiction. It takes a lot of willpower that sadly, some people don't realize they have. Hopefully you're doing well with anything you've had to or want to overcome. Take care 🙂
@@brownj2 the people praised him so the stones didn't cry out. Luke 19:40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
Professor Jordan Peterson helped me with my personal and intectual development i think he has a great soul with an amazing mind that had to endure bad times. We need more scientists with an open hearth to the spiritualism like him.
I love this guy, one because he's so clearly very intelligent and secondly because he cares so much about the worlds pain. But sometimes he's too clever for his own good, think too much and you end up being the opposite of being what you preach. Take it easy Jordan, your too important to lose.
Jordan literally admitting to us that he doesn’t believe. “It’s too terrifying to believe.” Actually, it’s not, Jordan. I believe it and it has changed my life forever. I highly recommended you try it.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17 NKJV
@@zesvo He could save himself but “being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:8) If he had taken himself down from the cross then his mission would had been in vain. Isaiah 53, the prophecy of the suffering servant, details how the messiah would have to die.
I think he's more a believer than the vast majority of Christians and probably a large number of priests. So I think we should ease off the proselytizing. It really isn't necessary
The Holy Spirit is shocking him and calling him, so he is emotional...that is Christ’s power. May he find the place where he can just let go and rest in the faith belief. We cannot try to understand the love and sheer power of Christ and his forgiveness and love using the worlds science and knowledge. There is a leap of faith, a surrender needed and he is at the cusp here. God bless him.
Christ is Risen, Jordan. It happened. It’s real. St. Peter said “We have not believed cleverly devised fables but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” Having beheld the Resurrection of Christ, let us adore the Holy Lord Jesus.
@@obannon7740 How is he a fraud? He is a man with faults of his own which he has been transparent about and has willingly disclosed to everybody, his teachings also include him too. As i said that he is a pure and honest man, who for better or worse, always wears his heart on his chest, he really wants to help young guys out. Do you deny that he is trying to help people?
@@obannon7740 But it seems like he has been interested in the beterment of men for a long time, of course he makes alot of money via his talks and his books because he is a gifted speaker and a academic. You also need to understand that his message sells because it echoes throught many young men, all around the world. They need a mentor and they have one now, and i am glad for them. I'm not even his biggest fan realy but i can see that he is a good man under his faults.
@@lycanart876 I don't like his message. It's very conservative and Christian. I agree that he is a gifted speaker, but I also think that he's sort of "dumb guys smart guy".
So many of these comments are as touching as this video because each of us who believe have had to step over the fence from unbelief to belief and for me even after 42 years it stirs a deep emotion within myself as I recall the moment I saw myself as a sinner in need of a savior! He is a good, good Father 🥰
Why not call the savior Santa Claus or Roger Rabit and just believe that he payed the price of our sins? Can you explain why you exactly choose to believe in the story of Jesus? A story that is hard to prove like most historical evidence. What made you go "Ok so I now choose Jesus and he is out saviour"? I think this is a question that I need real answer to.
@RU-vid TruthLife When we seek Him earnestly, thru prayer and Bible study, He will come to y personally and show you Him, Himself. We have to want a Savior, in sincerity, but to do that, we need to begin to understand why we need a Savior. He will show you the Way. Once you know Jesus Christ, you will never unknow Him. Faith also comes from Him. Step into the ring some, and maybe allow Him to prove Himself to you. We cant, we're just believing people. I'll pray for you too.
@@youtubetruthlife4750 There must be a first cause. What started everything. Things in life boil down to belief. Science deals with unravelling reality, with facts. Until science gets to, 'where did the first energy come from'. Religion also runs out of steam. But they believe God made the first energy, and created. But the actual reality of God, his essence before creating, well, Religion will never know this. We can only analyse what this mystery created. That's us, and the cosmos. We can play around in that space, with our little arguments and beliefs about our reality. We are resultant, we emerged, we are contrived. I will say this though. We are all (including the first CAUSE) seeking exquisite LOVE.
I think we need a Saviour and are reborn once we sacrifice all our being to fully serve the truth regardless of the consequences. When we die to ourselves we are spiritually born. At least for me. I never Consciously seen my physical sins in one moment. Rather over a period of time things that served the flesh became worthless and there more and more of the figure of christ revealed. The idea of sacrifice the greed of the flesh will reveal more of the meaning of life. And also christ. Does that make sense? @ashleyhunt6022
I’m a big enough person to admit i’m just barely getting this but what I do understand is powerful beyond words. It would be like if you grew up on Superman movies and one day you’re walking around and run into him. That but if Supes was the savior of mankind and the son of God.
Once u "find & accept" Jesus, u can never let go.. I often cry when I think about Him, but not because Im sad.. on the contrary.. those are tears of pure joy of a mind overwhelmed by knowledge and belief that someone loves u unconditionally (*agape), someone who came from the heaven where there is no death, pain etc..and accepted pain and death so u and I could live.. I also must say that I feel sorry for all the souls who are rejecting this type of love.. I hope they find their reason to change their minds.. As long as you breathe, its never too late.. Shallow minded people might call it "unfair" but God is so loving that even in final moments of your life, acceptance of Him will get you saved.. What more can u ask for? It is not appropriate to use the term "bet" but if I could, I would definitely bet my whole life/being on Jesus and his teachings... 1 Corinthians: 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[c] 20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 1 Corinthians /3 18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a]; 20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”[b] 21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. Hard to understand but at some point of my life I understood this.. And after that nothing was the same for me.. Jordan is struggling but if he wants to meet God, he must let go of human logic because humans are mind limited.. Jordans logic can go only as far as his limited intelligence allows him to do so.. Jordan seeks for logic and reason in places where God doesnt dwell.. In case of Christianity we need to believe, thats why its called faith.. I had way to many miracles happened to me (got cured of cancer overnight and many more..) that doctors could not explain with current "world" logic.. Jesus is alive and we should be thankful that we have that amount of power on our side..
Wowww “Jordan seeks for logic and reason in places where God doesnt dwell.. ” perfectly put👌🏿 I gave my life to Jesus last year, I met His loving, peaceful presence in my room, in that moment he showed me I was a sinner & that He still loved and accepted me. I ran away from the Truth all my life, but giving my heart to Jesus was the best, life altering and most healing experience I’ve ever had. And it still is. Much Agape, From the Netherlands
@@Agnesmontecinosmunoz I am glad you found the true purpose of life. Keep going sister and always keep in mind, you re not alone in your struggles. We are all on the same ship. We are all sinners but the only difference between Gods sheep and devils goats is "goats" are ignorant and passive while sheep are at least struggling and trying their best to be righteous in their everyday challenges. God loves people who are not passive and who are "trying" to be better. Walk in the light. Never give up. God bless you :)
I fully believe. It makes me feel very happy. It makes me know I can accomplish anything I want. It makes me feel responsible to make my grandchildren believe so they too can lead a happy meaningful life. It turned me from a mean son of a gun to an individual with hope for his family and meaning to life. Love and believe in our God and this feeling will be granted to you.
