KLAVAN: Why I Left Judaism for Christianity 

Amen! I was atheist my entire life because of how I was treated by Catholics in my family. But about two yrs ago I had my own experience and came to Christ. It's been amazing

@@swampypolitics9574 True dat, I know how absurd Catholicism can be: like worshipping saints etc...

Jesus wasn’t the messiah. Jesus isn’t god. The messiah isn’t god. Accept the truth and return from your sinful ways. That the only way to repent.

Congratulations!

@@bennywolfe4357 Hush now, Satan.

Judaism and Christianity is a bit like Astronomers and preppers. They're both aware of the same dangers, but one side is more focused on the physical while the other is on the ethical. They're not in conflict, but 2 sides of the same coin. Islam on the other hand is trying to banish the coin altogether and go back to the idyllic life of bartering and childlike adventure.

@@fredriks5090 Oof. Modern Judaism has more in common with Islam.

Jews are forbidden by Torah Law to fraternize with idolaters.

I agree. No mockery. Open conversation even when in disagreement.

It’s hard to say that Andrew left the same faith as Ben when Andrew was never a religious Jew.

Yeah maybe thats why Christianity borrowed the sun worship deity and traditions from the Iranian cults

@@ketsune23 Historically ignorant and you didn't understand the quote at all. Sheesh your fantasy is amazing.

@@onethdasanayake3689 historically ignorant in what? You prefer to spread your hate than exactly point out why I am wrong. That shows the real spirit of your religion. Nicene Christianity is based not only in the Iranian cults but also its core is pure Greek philosophy.

@@ketsune23 Don't you know something called 'criticism.' I never hated you, and I did point out that you were wrong cos there's no evidence that Christianity 'borrowed' from Irish cults. And the way you judge something based upon someone's BEHAVIOUR rather than the TRUE TEACHINGS says something. And wasn't it Jesus who said to 'love your enemies?'

@@l.patrick2171 Well research has a chance of being biased and flawed, and you people never EVER consider the possibility that those religions borrowed from Christianity. Why? Simply because the world hates it. For example, there are some striking similarities in Islam and Christianity....but can we accuse Christianity for allegedly 'stealing' from Islam. No, right? Why? Cos Islam originated 600 years AFTER Christianity. And this is not only one. There are more bad objections (and it is a common one) regarding this 'borrowing' issue. Some say Jesus was borrowed from pagan myths. Some say Genesis was borrowed from Babylon pagan legends. Some say Jesus prayed to a pagan god, and the list goes on.... And someone who says those stuff probably don't know much or haven't studied Christianity... And regarding the sun issue, there's a possibility that C.S Lewis knew Irish cults since he was an Irish. It's easier to argue when you don't know much about Christianity and accuse someone who ACTUALLY knows the REAL history of Christianity rather than carefully research the evidence, take in the accusations safely and come to own conclusion. Note - If you are interested Mr. Patrick, I hope we could have an honest and friendly conversation about this. Now I don't know MUCH about Irish cults and their ancient beliefs and traditions, and if you know some, teach me. AND I DEMAND YOU TEACH ME AT ONCE, ok sorry, lol.

Don’t be mistaken... many say the believe in “Christ”.. and that doesn’t mean they believe in Jesus as the Christians do. The Jews have a different understanding of that, than the Christians do.

What’s a CRIP?

@@privatejr2702 I'm hawking the LA gang term to mean "Christ Rest in Peace". So, I am inferring that JP is a Christian who pretends to be merely interested in the religion on a philosophical level for amelioration purposes.

People pursuing God while God is in us and all around us. We are made in image of God, we have been given moral law and commandments to follow, closer we follow closer we are to our God. People have to think about God relations with us through a relation of us with or sons or daughters. In essence it's so simple, but yet the world which is under evil made it complicated and very deceiving. JP is trying, thinking, searching so hard meanwhile all he has to do is follow the law, commandments and righteousness and he will find God.

He talks about Jesus a lot in his memoir, "The Great Good Thing" - it's worth the read.

Yeah, zero discussion of either one

@@tzadiko In his memoir he talks about his journey from Judaism to atheism , to agnosticism with "Zinn Meditation" practices, ultimately to Christianity.

Exactly

If you go to his more complete testimony at One for Israel's channel, he says, "It wasn't until I was baptized that I really became a Jew." So yes, it's kind of clickbait because one certainly doesn't have to "leave Judaism" to come into Judeo-Christianity. Unfortunately it was the Christians who left Judaism in the 4th Century and lost the very source of depth and nourishment that come from the "root".

@@carolepoysti3810 he was never a religious Jew anyways.

I suspect his story isn’t true.

Wiser words have rarely been spoken.

So True!!

That is not even close to being true. Being presented with god and truth is not the same as somebody trying to instil their will upon a person for the sake of it. Children who rebel against Christianity tend to be rebelling against their parents weak authority. And just sometimes a person is born to rebel just for the sake it.

@@bighands69 But you must admit , that there are some parents who try to be “Christians” and drag their kids to church every Sunday , but they are not fully spiritually invested in their Faith so they don’t grow spiritually in the Faith and they come across as either too conservative or too controlling or too hypocritical to their children and therefore, the children rebel against this. Ofcourse, even Christian parents can’t always be “perfect Saints” all of the time and they too have their own hang ups , childhood issues, tempers, weaknesses and shortcomings, just like everybody else! But there are some truly genuine and mild tempered Christians out there who foster good relations with their loved ones and then they reap the rewards of a good bond with their children. This is a rare gem nowadays! (I’m not a parent myself because I would honestly mess up my kids because I’m messed up myself - but at least one can be honest about it and know their limitations)

I love tadanott300 statement. That is so powerful,. We must live our faith openly and honestly.

You are exactly right, I have heard Klavan speak before , he has his own " brand" of Christianity. His son is gay and he ( Klavan) doesnt accept or agree with the God of the Bible condemning that lifestyle. Can he really be a Christian if you pick and choose? He makes his own God.

It makes more sense but it is a difficult religion to practice. I’m not as pious, so I haven’t converted to Judaism.

@@MysterEarl it makes less sense historically. In 70AD the temple was abolished. The messiah who the jewish people expected either came before that and the OT religion is true or he didn’t come and the OT religion was wrong.

@@arminius504 When OT compared to NT, OT should make more sense mathematically by laws of probability since the truthfulness of NT is dependent on truthfulness of OT. But let’s also remember that the scriptures were written in different genres. Not everything is to be read historically. Crime and Punishment is a work of fiction but coneys truths and lessons. Even Little Red Riding Hood and Peter Pan have similar value.

Here’s why Christianity is the logical next step after Judaism: 1) God created the universe and created man in His image. This is the first step to our relationship with God. (Family with God) 2) God creates woman. This is the first step to our relationship with each other. (The human family) 3) God makes a covenant with Noah. This is the first step to reconciliation with God. 4) God makes a covenant with Abraham. This is the first step to creating a people of God. (Many people, one family) 5) God makes a covenant with Moses, which is fulfilled in Joshua. This is the step toward God making a nation of God, which is where we get God’s CHOSEN people, and essentially when Judaism is built. 6) God establishes a Kingdom with David, and a priesthood (the step toward maintaining both a nation, which is the perpetuation of human relationships, and a priesthood, to perpetuate the relationship between God and man.) 7) God becomes incarnate in Jesus Christ and establishes a new Church and a new covenant to mediate between God and man, thereby closing the gap between man’s kingdom and God’s Kingdom. For this reason, the chosen people of God are those who would follow in the Church established by Christ, just as God created man, family, covenant, nation, kingdom, priesthood, and Church. Just as God told Moses to slaughter a lamb, eat it, and cover the entrance of their homes with its blood, so too must we take and eat the slaughtered Lamb of God, His Son, reflected in the sacrifice of Abraham’s son, with a ram taking Isaac’s place, Jesus takes our place, and becomes the Passover lamb. This is the connection we have of being FORMERLY the Jewish people, now fulfilled as Christian people, no longer only a family, a nation, or a Kingdom, but a UNIVERSAL people, spread throughout the entire world, being prepared to enter into the Kingdom of God.

@@dinopad10 Entitled to your opinion but you get in very shaky territory with #7. Sounds a whole lot like the very anthropomorphic Greco-Roman gods.

"if x is true, y is true" is the premise they don't believe. something like if God is real, morality is real. God is real therefore morality is real. or If God is false, morality is false.

@@stephenduke7494 humble yourself and open your mind to actually looking into whether Christianity is true or not. Don’t go into it with the preconceived biases against Christ, but genuinely seek out the truth and test your beliefs. Your eternity depends on this truth, so don’t dismiss Jesus Christ out of spite but actually research whether He fulfilled all that was foretold of Him in the law and prophets.

I challenge you to present actual historical facts that refute the life and work of Jesus Christ and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

@@stephenduke7494 Jesus Christ is the Subject of Isaiah 53. The second half of Isaiah portrays Israel as the failed Servant of Jehovah. Some of the harshest criticisms of Israel's wickedness in the Bible is found in Isaiah. Against that, is another Servant Who is righteous enough to bear the sins of the world.He is called Israel, and yet is seen as being distinct from Israel, and alongside Israel. His worldwide effect is marked by being the light of the Gentiles, bringing Jehovah's salvation to the ends of the world, bringing many to righteousness, bringing healing to the nations, being an astonishment to the Gentiles for His suffering for our sins. This is describing, not the general righteous of Israel, but One, the most righteous of Israel, King Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. None of these worldwide effects can be attributed to the general righteous of Israel. Yet they happened, and are still happening. Jesus healed me, and is healing me of my wickedness to this day. He has and is healing millions around the world.

How many E's did you put in Klavan?

@@sirobnole I left out the implicit E for excellent.

Per say .

With respect, but his idea that fiction doesn't create anything, but instead describes reality, is completely ass-backward. And his example about money just reinforces that: "money describes the value of a person", yeah, but that "value" is entirely fictional, it's a system we ourselves created out of thin air. Because monetary value is fictional, because it only exists to those that believe in it. To a peasant from the Dark Ages, your stack of papers bills means nothing, and conversely, did Vercingetorix not have any value, because the Celts did not use money?

@@wiederganger1959 well I can not agree with your ass backward interpretation. Money is with the false world but human ingenuity to ask questions and explore future horizons may contribute something that is wanted by the masses, and may increase a personal wealth in their efforts, but that's not the power. Human minds and ideas are God given gifts. What man does with those talents goes with him and his Creator. But maybe it's that Creator idea is more the problem. SHTF non of us are of any value.

Being Jewish is an ethnoreligious thing, with a strong emphasis on the ethno-part. Religiously, his home was atheistic, not particularly Jewish - as you say - but to adopt another faith and particularly one whose adherents, at least in Europe, were vicious towards the Jewish People, is a pretty big deal.

Yeah, but problem with that is you would have to listen to Ricky Gervais *barf*

Gervais is nowhere near an intellectual level of Andrew. He is very funny I do admit. I know he was talking to Dawkins, but that was a bit silly. Let's meet and find out how much we agree with each other. Dawkins is very dishonest person in general.

@@ALavaPenguin Gervais is amazing.

Klavan is not a theologian. It would be like two 60 year olds boxing. That didn’t box professionally.

Ricky Gervais doesn't debate, he just mocks

I was wondering the same thing!

Maybe this is just an excerpt? It doesn’t seem complete to me.

It's not the full episode. Im searching for it next. Im sure it will be as great as this clip.

Read his memoir, The Great, Good Thing. But I think growing up I was convinced that someone had to first know the name of Jesus before they could come to know Jesus, but I now don't believe that's exactly true. In Romans 1:20 Paul describes how it's possible for even distant pagans to reason from creation itself that there is a God, and to know something of his nature. I believe that's the path Andrew Klavan describes following. God can work through his created work, through his spoken words, and through the Living Word that was embodied by Jesus' earthly ministry. After all, wasn't creation itself made by the Word of God? How is that not a path to Christ through Christ?

@@TheHumphreysMinistries This clip is titled KLAVAN: Why I Left Judaism for Christianity. As the fundamental difference between these two faiths is the person of Jesus of Nazareth and His claim to be the Christ, Son of the Living God; the savior of the world. It would seem impossible to answer this question without reference to Him. In answer to the Romans reference. Paul starts with the general and then moves to the specific. Yes, everyone has a knowledge of God so none will have excuse on judgment day. As James states, even the demons believe and shudder. But God sent His Son to show us the way to know God, as fully as we are known. How can we know someone if we never met them? Romans 10:14: How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone telling them?

I was waiting for the part of the video that was relevant to the title too!

Amen.

@@RoseSharon7777 I am not Catholic, get over yourself.

Well said. You won’t easily find people who lived an authentically Jewish life, who truly delved into its meaning and foundation, and then converted to Christianity. Not that they don’t exist. But it’s quite uncommon. There are many Jewish people who stopped practicing Judaism and gave it up, or converted due to finding acceptance and community. But it’s not common for people who’ve been immersed in Jewish life to convert to Christianity based on philosophical reasons. So all those hoping that Ben will do the same, it’s highly unlikely.

@@gl9088 i doubt there's actual data to support this claim. also, bc christianity is the cultural default in the u.s., many ppl who think they are christian are not. they just go to church and are conservative. so the same can be said of ppl who are true christians rarely convert to judaism

@Super Genius Your obviously not Jewish and know nothing about Judaism. You have no idea about who most Jews are, or what they believe, stick with subjects you might know a little about.

@@k.h.a.l.i.l. Yes their is a huge amount of data to support this and even books. Most Jews who intermarry or convert to other religions are not traditional or Orthodox Jews. Most converts are secular Jews, and even a large amount are religiously Reform or Reconstructionist.

@Super Genius "Cut the shit", Im gonna need a shovel for the amount of BS your putting out. So you now Know two words in the Jewish religion, do you also know matzah, bagel, and most importantly in Yiddish schmuck? You have no idea what Judaism really is, and definitely do not know anything about Kabbalah or Zohar.

This is also confusing to me. It could just as easily be said if you converted from Judaism to Christianity.

Jesus said whoever denies the Son does not have the father.

Andrew Klavan was never practicing the Jewish religion, so the title is misleading. you cannot leave something you never really a part of. His family were secular Jewish (practicing some of the traditions and culture) without the spiritual practice. What he really left was secular Judaism, to become an agnostic, he then left agnosticism to become a Christian.

@@trevbarlow9719 No, because Christianity states that you have to believe in Jesus in order to come to the Father. Judaism obviously states no such thing. Every Jew has a direct ''line of communication'' to God, there is no need for an intermediary such as Jesus.

@@robmancuso964 I don't think you quite understand what Christians believe.

You're adorable...

Right. A god who creates a son who is really just another manifestation of himself, who comes to earth to pray to himself so that human beings can be saved from himself makes all the sense in the world.

Instead, you get the Muslims either supporting or working towards the murder of ex-Muslims.

There are 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. To make an all encompassing statement about 1.8 billion people is silly. You are thinking about the radicals that receive all the attention; they are only a fraction of all Muslims.

It happened multiple times! though Judaism is not a religion in as much as its an ethnicity, so a Jew could be an atheist or agnostic and believe that the Bible is a myth, actually most Jews today are.

Plus an ex-Muslim motivated by Western propaganda will be the most abusive long before he starts a conversation with any Muslim, which is observed everywhere.

​@@pleasedontman What a disgusting comment. It is clear and explicit in the Torah that it is God's commandment, remaining forever without change, addition, or diminishment, as Deuteronomy 13:1 states: "All these matters which I command to you, you shall be careful to perform. You may not add to it or diminish from it," and Deuteronomy 29:28 states: "What is revealed is for us and our children forever, to carry out all the words of this Torah." This teaches that we are commanded to fulfill all the Torah's directives forever. It is also said: "It is an everlasting statute for all your generations," and Deuteronomy 30:12 states: "It is not in the heavens." This teaches that a prophet can no longer add a new precept to the Torah.

@@hrvatskinoahid1048 thank you for your interest in my comment.

Have you read the Brothers Karamazov?

@@rainking50 not yet. first Dostoyevsky I read as a teen was The Idiot. I found it when my Dad and I went trash picking. Read it through the night. The Brother Karamazov is on my list... I am just older and busier and TV is easy after a long days work.

The one who left the faith in this case is still God loving, harmless intellectual who wishes the good of the other. Socialists on the other hand are mostly Godless, narcissistic, nihilistic people who go as far as accepting, tolerating and imposing the general misery (hell) and trying to fool others by justifying it as the equality.

@@arbencukaj5520 harmless? He put his testimony on the one for israel missionary channel.

Probably because socialism almost has a prerequisite of leaving the faith, thereby being a greater threat, due to its current cultural attraction, especially to young people. If a person leaves the faith on their own accord, it’s simply a matter of personal growth. Socialism, on the other hand, is a herd mentality that gathers “followers” like a plague, and it’s construct is based on taking away the faith of nations.

Ben as a liberaterian goes by the rule do what you want as long as it doesn't harm me. Apostates are harmless (at least in Andrew's case). Socialists harm others because they want that to be the law.

@@notyouraveragecentrist4536 nothing realistic if he means a religion or physical heredity makes you Gods son.

Probably the best comment, which is why you only got three upvotes. People don't love Jesus at all, in fact they hate Him.

That would be Knowles. Ironic because of his age but his wisdom is greater than the others'

Some read Dostoyevsky and become convinced of a moral reality that can only be attributable to God ("Without God anything is possible"). The thinking goes like this: Morality must be real and how can it be if there is no God? The problem is that the reverse is just as true. If there IS a God, then anything is possible -- and anything done at God's command or pursuant to His "law" is good and moral.

You can't stop practicing sin. It's not in you to do so without Christ. Putting works before faith is putting the cart before the horse. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me brings forth much fruit. Without me you can do _nothing."_

We are not saved by our works but by grace through faith. However, a tree is known by its fruit and sanctification is the outward expression of the good fruits of the spirit; the evidence of Christ in us. We should do good works, so that others will see these good works and glorify God.

@@bgaston14 Right, but be careful with that discernment stuff. Sometimes someone screws up and needs help, not a "YOU'RE not a REAL Christian! I cast thee out" speech. I've seen Christians thrust aside during their hour of need while asking for help.

Once you realise how shakey the foundations of that "reason" are, religion will not be a difficult reality to accept. How can an atheist even trust his or her own mind, when that mind is the mere tumbling of atoms in a void, without any underlying logic?

Atheism personally led me to madness, because I could not reconcile not being able to trust even my own thoughts with the possession of opinions and convictions. I hope this helps.

That's a verbose wrong theory my friend

@@IRequireMedication I would be happy to have you prove me wrong on any of the main historical points. To summarize: 1) Yeshua’s original followers were a sect of Torah observant Jews from Judea. Their culture, their language, their ethnicity was Jewish. Their original faith was pure Judaism. The “golden rule” was not new. It was the very basis of the Torah already for 2,000 years . Believing their rebbe to be the messiah was nothing new. It’s happened many times through today. 2) Yeshua’s followers rejected any idea of converting non-Jews. 2) the origin of the (God)Zeus/(Yeshua)Hercules myth is long established and a common belief not only of the Greco-Romans but all the non-Jewish world. It survives through today in its Christianized form. 3) Yeshua’s followers could enter an orthodox synagogue today and not skip a beat. Would feel right at home with the Hebrew and Aramaic of the services, the Torah scrolls, and holy books. 4) in US law, there is no statute of limitations on murder. Is it less so for G-d’s law? Starting from the Roman-Jewish wars, where 1 million Jews were massacred and an equal number enslaved….and through today…..pre-Christian, Christian, and today’s post-Christian Europe is guilty of the worst crimes of humanity, of a burning envy and hate that has led to countless occasions of genocide and unspeakable evil, bloodletting, and persecution against Yeshua’s own Jewish people and family. Europe is soaked in the blood of millions of Jewish men, women and children. Now that they have made Europe “judenrein”, through mass murder cutting their Jewish population from 9 million in 1939 to today’s less than 1 million, they focus this eternal hatred politically on the survivors and children of these genocides in the state of Israel. Prove me wrong.

@@orangestapler8729 that's a thing believers of Jesus really need to ponder. That trusting sinful people is a very scary thing. But if He really is God, and if scripture is true when it says He did not sinned, then all He says is consistently true, and all He does is consistently good. And all it takes is to examine His life that was recorded in four different accounts (matthew, mark, luke, john).
