This dude is one sharp, intelligent guy when he drops the show. I remember seeing him before he started on his recovery journey and he was all over the place. Manic. I want to say that was around the time he was married to Katie Perry? Even on his podcast he can get a little wound up but I like this.

All the wrong doings you have done twords yourself and others who are made in the image of God and thus being rebellious against God and breaking is law.
But this is only one definition other ones are that we where made to have authority over the earth and care for it as God has authority over the universe.
What I really appreciate about Russell Brand is that he is practicing a 12 step programme in his life since getting sober from drugs and alcohol. He already believed that he had a higher power and then became to believe in Christ and accept him as Saviour and Lord
I have accepted Jesus as my Savioir many many years ago but I am struggling through addiction amd am finding it very hard to overcome addiction, which is Idolatry and therefore give my life completly to Jesus, for some reason I am finding it hard to submit completly as Lord...
Earnestly seek Christ. Read the book of John and ask Him to reveal himself to you. He is real. Make no mistake about it. May God bless you. Ephesians 3 20 ✝️
I know what you’re talking about it being nerve racking you see stars come out and say they’re a Christian and they love God in Jesus and all this then they come out and start saying stupid things. They don’t make any sense and they have influence so other people listen to them, but this is just how the world is this isn’t something we control so we should pray for them and pray about it and let God do what he does and there’s no point in us stressing over it, there have been billions of people out the year have professed to be Christian and said really stupid things and let people astray. This is gonna keep happening so there’s no point in stressing over it. Pray for these people and I hope they’re sincere in it. I hope that they find salvation and figure it out and when they do their celebrity is great because they can reach a lot of people and be great testimony to the world and parts of the world, the rest of us can’t reach. God uses all kinds of people God is used horrible monster people and we need to learn to just trust him and let him do his thing and just keep trying to walk in his will.
One thing I think Russell Brand comes to a realisation is something I think we all need to come to a realisation, when we say we can’t surrender submit to a man or a man who is a God or something because we’ve fought our whole lives against submitting, that Control nature we have. it took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of just leaning on my own understanding but on God and his understanding letting him take the helm and take over, but this is what the Bible means when it says to humble yourself, we have to stop worshipping ourselves like he said even with all the idols in the idolatry behaviour the addictions of all kinds it all comes back to a form of self idolatry and worship being of yourself. Even look at atheists some people just don’t believe but they don’t identify themselves as atheist and go out and join atheist groups and buy atheist books and do atheist studies, those people are not atheists if they were they wouldn’t care or believe in anything, people are struggling with their faith problems being able to understand and accept God and have faith in him because they’re stuck worshipping themselves their own intellect and mindset, they’re trying to convince themselves intellectually which is part of the process but this is why we have to learn to humble ourselves and I think this is why the path is narrow I think Satan takes people and put things in their lives to wear becomes self worship. I know for me I was always very intelligent, my IQ is 160 which is higher than average understanding things like physics and mathematics and complex ideologies and theologies was always pretty simple for me and in that like a lot of atheist my trust and faith was in my intellect in my ability to write things down and understand them to figure out how they function and why and it was a huge stepping stone for me to be able to just come to the realisation that no matter how hard I try no matter how smart I think I am or how smart I or anybody else may be the most brilliant human beings on the planet, the realisation of God and all that he is is beyond human comprehension, they don’t tell us to lean on our own understanding but on him we’re too dumb to figure it out, we’re just human we have limits to what our minds can understand. You can be the smartest most brilliant human on the planet and you still cannot fathom the intricacy and complexity of God and all that he is And you have to stop thinking of God as a human with magical powers and projecting yourself on him. You have to understand that he is the creator everything you learn and know and understand he created understand the process to create physics and mathematics. He created the brain that we used to think And store information and process and develop our intellect. I think a lot of time people who live more simply people who don’t have super high IQ or huge amounts of education people who just live in a very real and earthly simple existence have it easier in a lot of ways because they’re able to see the immensity of God and just say I’m not even gonna try to compete with that. I’m just gonna trust him because he is God because he is so immense and so great, and I could never be that I’m just a human. Those with intellect and education take pride in that we rely on that in our day-to-day human existence to survive and prosper and protect and live and we study and we try to learn everything we can to understand everything to even a molecular level so we know what to do and how to control our lives and everything in it but to come to the realisation of God you have to realise that there is something so far beyond that it’s ridiculous and that you’re just never going to fully understand that process, you’re never gonna understand how God created an angel. You can understand that God put the stars in the Sun in the heavens and created the planets, you can even understand that he did it first system of gravitational balance and transfer of energy but you’ll never understand how we did that or how he created the characteristics of physics and energy and at some point we have to humble ourselves we have to get over our pride get over ourselves worship God is just bigger and beyond our creator and every thing we have is that we’ve already sent or already condemned to what we call hell and there’s nothing we could do to fix that we can do all the Charity all the works give as much money as nice as we can. We can obey laws as perfectly as we can conceive them and we will never ever be able to sanctify ourselves to absolve ourselves of our sin in any other way except to pay for ourselves except salvation free gift of God given in love or he came to be that sacrifice to take on our sin our debt and pay the cost and then endure the punishment that we deserve to die for us, so we don’t have to. It’s that point where you realise, when you are finally humbled, that you realise you cannot do it yourself it’s unachievable the only way to pay for your sins is to die and pay that debt yourself or to have somebody else pay that debt for you and we can’t do it for someone else, because the sacrifice has to be innocent and without blemish and none of us are so we can’t pay for our own kids sins or sacrifice an animal or a human to pay for our sins, even the Jews and their animal sacrifice never saved them the faith in God held them in the bosom of Abraham, but they still needed a Messiah to come open those gates and set them free to die to absolve them of their sins Because those sacrifices were ceremonial representations of their faith in the coming Messiah, who would that cost for them. Obedience to the law is an exhibition of faith but it does not save you the Messiah saves you this is part of the story of Job some people miss some people thank God just let Satan torture Job just to show that Joe was such a great perfect person that he would never curse God, God let Satan take away the blessings of Joe he had to limit him so he wouldn’t kill job because Job was not sin free. He followed the law. He did great works and Charity and was sincere and believed in God and had faith in God, but Satan wasn’t torturing him doing things that he did not deserve, Joe deserved everything he got because he was still a sinner as much as he tried to do it here to the law as much good as he had done he was still unholy and a sinner and he deserved death, which is why God told Satan he could not take his life. God didn’t let Satan put all that burden on him and take everything away from him just to torture him, God used that situation and created that situation to correct Joe and lead him to salvation. God was saving him humbling him making him realise that he wasn’t perfect he wasn’t sin free he did it deserve heaven, Job kept saying if you could just talk to God and tell him there’s a big mistake till God he was that all and God would restore his blessings but it wasn’t until he humbled himself and that he needed and forgiveness because he wasn’t pure and holy when he gave up that pride independence on his obedience of the law and his good works for his salvation Accepted that he needed somebody else to intercede and save him from what he actually deserved. Even much of the old orthodox church used to teach Job this way but this is always the answer when we interact with God and have problems is to humble ourselves and realise that the only way is to let him do it and doing that isn’t us being dumb it’s just admitting that what needs to be done is supernatural it is beyond our ability, and we just have to accept that God is beyond that and let him do it.
Russell Brand is very smart. He thinks he studies he learns and he uses that understanding and wisdom gains from initiating that study experience to guide his life, for him to humble himself and turn away from that prideful self reliance and worship of self was incredibly difficult but that’s what we all need to do . And like the atheists who are out there attacking Christianity and joining atheist groups and identifying themselves and an atheist and letting it define their lives, I don’t think they are atheistic. I think they believe in God but they’re just struggling with it and trying to figure it out And they’re struggling with their own pride and just need to come to that point where they stop worshipping themselves and relying on their own understanding and they give it up to the Lord and let him save them instead of thinking that they’re just such good people that they deserve to go to heaven. That way we don’t always identify ourselves as atheist but we all had these problems with pride and thinking we could do it ourselves. There are many even of the big churches that still suffer with us and think they get salvation because of their works because they do such good in this world that God needs them and they deserve to go to heaven, to their salvation themselves and their abilities and the things they do as ritual and making their idol or what we do because we do not us we can’t save ourselves. We can do the God that already saved us that made himself a sacrifice and paid the cost for us Because we had two choices except his free gift of salvation or pay that cost our self there is no in between you can do all the good work you want all the Charity you want you can obey the law as much as you want but that only earned you the default as hell because you’re still a sinner if you want to save that to be wiped away and they accept the death of Jesus Christ who takes on your sin and pay that price for you or to pay it yourself by dying and spending eternity and hell. God does not condemn us to hell we’ve already been condemned by our own sin as perfect as we think we are we’ve all sinned and are guilty. We don’t deserve to be forgiven. We deserve the condemnation that we have earned ourselves God its merciful and he came and died for us and paid that cost because he loves us. This is what atheist are struggling with. This is what all unbelievers who aren’t just completely ignoring everything or dealing with this coming to an understanding that we can’t do it ourselves we have to humble ourselves and except the fact that we can only be saved from what we’ve already been condemned to because of our own sin that God isn’t condemning us he’s saving us after we’ve condemned ourselves and we have two choices to accept that free gift of salvation or he sacrificed himself to pay that cost or to pay for ourselves which is what we call dying and going to hell, condemning us some guy is kicking us out of the club because he doesn’t like us we’ve condemned ourselves and he’s reaching out and offering a salvation on a silver platter, he already paid the cost And all we have to do is believe in him come to him and say I get it I said I can’t save myself. I need you to save me Jesus I accept your guest of salvation sacrifice and dying for me and that’s it. It’s done. it’s over. You get to go to heaven And become part of the kingdom of God and his spirit lives in you and that changes peoples hearts and that’s when the works and the good things and the obedience and everything comes because we do it because it’s the right thing to do because we want to glorify God created us Live as we were designed to live, we’re trying to do those good things works and those rituals to earn salvation were not worshipping God were worshipping ourselves. We need to humble ourselves stop worshipping ourselves get over pride and salvation comes through him that he is the creator that everything we have is from him, and accept the free gift of salvation. He gave us and his sacrifice so we don’t have to do it ourselves. It is that simple because he already did all the hard parts for us, but this is what people like Russell Brand. I have a problem with is getting over this whole thing where they think because of their own intelligence and wisdom that they can do it themselves or that they’re giving something up by , not trying to figure out themselves and just letting God do it for them just accepting the gift that he’s already paid for. my experience I find this is always the deal with God whenever we have a problem in our lies with our spirituality with her understanding of something the answer is always to humble yourself get over yourself and give it up to God lean on him let him do it for you trust in him he tells us what to do and we can think about it all we want come up with 1 million different options but in the end he already told us what was right and how to do it and we’re just wasting our time pandering to our delusion that we are somehow superior and what we think is more important or more correct or more accurate than what God thinks. Once we learn to get over that and get rid of our pride, it’s ridiculously easy.
True Christians can explain the solid dome Firmament, and how God put the sun moon and stars in it on day 4 and they understand Joshua's longest day, when God stopped the sun and moon, they also accept the Bible when it tells us about the stationary Earth. The Bible tells us to question everything and hold good. Only the true actually do it.
I thought so at first too, but I see a real change from before to after his baptism. He still has a lot to learn but I see the Holy Spirit’s influence on him. God is so good.
He wasn’t an atheist…he is connected to the masons, he and his wife both have tattoos of the number 33, the highest degree in masonry and they don’t worship Christ…hopefully he truly is saved and not deceiving
That’s an interesting question. I do not think it would be moral for me to engage in animal sacrifice, but I don’t think that this applies to all individuals across time and cultures. Also, I have killed and eaten animals - something that our society does on a pretty large scale. I don’t always feel good about it, but I don’t think that it is morally wrong…. I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at.
It's kind of dishonest to say he was an atheist russel brand was a new age spirituality type before he became a christian. he was never an atheist. he argued against atheism in the past before he became a christian
I would believe in God any God and Religion if there was actually evidence. I been an atheist majority of my life but an uneducated none believer when I was younger who didn’t know anything about science and evidence against Religions/Gods especially Christianity. In 2004 age 19 I was going through a deep depression and I was given Lee Strobel books from deeply religious uncle. I fell for Christian apologetics and creationism because I didn’t know any better. Wasn’t until I researched science and counter apologetics for the first time I realized apologetics are liars. Lee Strobel and others like him lie for money, their arguments reinforced there no evidence for Christianity. Lee Strobel and other like minded apologetics use bible as evidence for the Bible, like the eye witness to Jesus resurrection, empty tomb and etc. with no evidence outside the bible supporting it. Even the exact location of Jesus tomb hasn’t been discovered, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Talpiot Tomb, Roza Bal, The Garden Tomb, Kirisuto no haka, are popular beliefs of tomb location with no solid evidence for resurrection from any tomb. There are suicide cults like Havens Gate who castrated male members as a requirement to join. Most people in the cult died from intentionally drinking poison for a lie (Doctrine) they deeply sincerely believed in, even the cult leader Marshall Applewhite believed what he preached, he suffered from mental illness. There other suicide cults to. Also none of the gospel writers were actual friends of Jesus, they were written in Greek decades even a century later as is the case of Gospel of John. Writers are anonymous who used the names of Jesus friends, wrote down the oral stories about Jesus, which was common among the minority of literate people/Christians at time period. There was a lot of different gospels written. I recommend you read Bart D Ehrman books to learn much more in-depth factual information. Even if they were eyewitness of Jesus resurrection, there are people alive today who claimed to have seen, big foot, fairies, elvis sightings after his death, space aliens and etc. if you unwilling to dedicate your life to people you can talk to today, why dedicate your life to claims of people who lived thousands of years ago? The old testament ancient Jews and modern day Muslims sacrifice animals to the Abrahamic God, God wants animal sacrifices which seems stereotypical satanic ritualistic. Was God unable to have come up with better options than animal sacrifices, maybe God has limitations which contradict with Gods attributes of being, all powerful, all knowing, perfect, all loving and etc. Reasons for animal sacrifices is due to repentance for original sin caused by Adam and Eve bringing sin into the world which makes no sense. God created Adam and Eve without the knowledge of good and evil aka right, and wrong much like a baby understanding. God supposed to be all knowing, all powerful and perfect somehow expected adults with a baby like comprehension of right and wrong to obey him and not eat the forbidden fruit in which God created and placed in their midts (garden of eden). It like if parents placed a poisonous plant into theirs babies play pen and get angry their baby didn’t listen to them about not eating poison plant. Such parents deserve to spend rest of their lives in prison. God cursed all the decedents of Adam and Eve with original sin. Bible also sass if taken literally, God committed genocide, Noah flood, killing first born in Egypt including children, Sodom and Gomorrah and etc. which goes back to Adam and Eve bringing sin into the world. It seems to me God has accountability issues and blames others for what he did. Christianity is self refuting, Jesus and God supposedly one and the same, therefore God cannot be all powerful, all knowing, all loving, forgiving and perfect because God has limitations by not being able to just forgive humanity, instead God went through all the trouble of turning himself into a human in order to sacrifice (human sacrifice) himself to himself to please himself which we told is why Christians don’t have to commit animal sacrifices anymore. In both old and new testaments are contradictory on lots of things example slavery. A lot of passages support slavery and some can be interpreted against it, no biblical laws clearly against owning humans as property. There no scripture in bible supporting democracy nor mention of anything similar to democracy, USA founding was a product of the secular age of enlightenment, a lot of the founding fathers were not even Christians example Thomas Jefferson was a Deist, read his Jefferson Bible. No scripture clearly supports child labor laws, no scripture supports women equal rights, No scripture clearly against child marriage in which was common around the world including in Christian majority countries for grown men to marry female children. I can go on and on. Your God probably doesn’t exist and your religion is bullshit. The bible doesn’t have timeless morality it a product of the time period it was written in and the good morals in bible are nothing special, majority of societies and religions around the world have laws against murder, it not unique to Abraham religions and predates them, it a natural survival instinct to not want to live in a society with rampant murders. Religion are all man made and humanity needs to move away from and all other dogmatism to including political dogma, communism, fascism and etc.
You mentioned that you were 19 in 2004; we're very close in age. You made your case and brought up some interesting points. I don't feel that you're going to find someone to debate you for one reason or the other. You've made your mind up. I dealt with depression, too...among other things. Me telling you about my life transformation would be a moot point, in your eyes and beliefs. I hope you have something to establish your faith and hope. This world and its toxic nature is overbearing. If you pray to anything, please ask that i be enlightened. I will pray to God (that you have stated is non-existant) to send His spirit to you and soften your heart. That He will give you peace and joy that you've never experienced. I understand that you dont believe in God. But we all draw inspiration from quotes. If you would entertain it, check out Philippians 4:8. It is my life verse and I hope you can at least apply the logic to your life. Be well and please know that I mean no harm.
You seem to expect a high level of coherence and exactitude as standards for any true religion, but your own refutation of religion is rather rambling and all over the place. I suppose that makes sense since most of us draw big conclusions from a wide variety of observations and lived experiences. I just think it’s important to acknowledge that the level of certainty and exactitude you seem to want aren’t really present in science or other non religious human activities either - at least not in their present forms. These points may all seem like tangents, but rambling does beget rambling - anyway, an inability or unwillingness to declare an impure being pure does not seem like an effective argument against omnipotence. Also, using modern western values related to parenting to criticize the God of the creation story - well, it’s been done a lot, and it might be an ok thing, but I am not sure if it can be a logically coherent and productive activity. I guess that what you said about Heaven’s Gate is in response to apologist’s assertions that early Christian’s willingness to die for their beliefs should be seen as evidence of those beliefs. It’s a pretty different situation. It would be a better argument if the Heaven’s Gate people were all separated over a period of decades, offered repeated incentives to cast aside their beliefs and then went on to do what they did. You’re not getting paid to publish these ideas so it’s not really fair for me to expect you to be flawless in your explanation of them. I just don’t find anything too compelling in any of the criticisms you have offered. I am not sure what you’re looking for but it seems like you want humanity to transcend its limitations and mistakes while still condemning the best things humans have ever held forth - because it’s human.
Looks like you’ve been looking for why he would not be real instead of trying to seek him. All your arguments are based on idea of you being a superior human being to define how things should be for God to be real. I honestly don’t think you can see things clearly from that position. And many of your arguments regarding to God’s goodness are massively uninformed conclusions of what it says in the bible. Let’s take some pressure of you. It’s not your ”job” to believe in Jesus. Your responsibility is to have an open heart to receive Him and He enables you to believe.
The fulfilment of over 300 prophecies by Jesus is the evidence of God's existence outside of our time & domain biblical divinely sourced nature - 66 books , by 40 "authors " over 2000 years ... Isaiah 53 talks about the crucifixion about 800 years prior the invention by Romans ... The evidence is overwhelming brother... You don't need to look far... Just around and above you... Look up into the heavens. Who created the stars? He brings them out one after another, calling each by its name.” Isaiah 40:26
The question is, "Has his focus changed?" Another question: "Is his personal life different as well as the picture he presents to the world?" Those who still are condemning him (and who do not even lay out any present day evidence) should be concerning themselves with their own Self. That's where your problem lays; Russell Brand nor any other person is not your problem.
@Aliciae411 Did these "victims" wait to "reveal their victimhood" until they could get by without presenting any evidence? What credentials do you possess that allows you to convict him without presentation of evidence? BTW: I am not his fan, not now or ever. But I am a fan of Truth and True Justice, which never includes trial by accusation without clear-cut evidence.
@@jueneturner8331 yes one of the ladies went to the police at the time and it’s on record. Anyone who criticises a victim for coming out later has no clue about sexual assault. It takes a lot to come forward, especially against a public figure. You can also just watch his old stuff and what he’s said out of his own mouth. Suggesting for a girl about to turn 16 to have a sex themed party 🤢 rape jokes….its really not a stretch to believe he mistreated women, he’s literally admitted to it. His excuse was that he was different at the time, it’s a total cop out and removing all accountability and responsibly from himself by claiming he is now changed with absolutely no remorse and no compassion for his victims.

They don’t make any sense and they have influence so other people listen to them, but this is just how the world is this isn’t something we control so we should pray for them and pray about it and let God do what he does and there’s no point in us stressing over it, there have been billions of people out the year have professed to be Christian and said really stupid things and let people astray. This is gonna keep happening so there’s no point in stressing over it. Pray for these people and I hope they’re sincere in it. I hope that they find salvation and figure it out and when they do their celebrity is great because they can reach a lot of people and be great testimony to the world and parts of the world, the rest of us can’t reach.

Obedience to the law is an exhibition of faith but it does not save you the Messiah saves you this is part of the story of Job some people miss some people thank God just let Satan torture Job just to show that Joe was such a great perfect person that he would never curse God, God let Satan take away the blessings of Joe he had to limit him so he wouldn’t kill job because Job was not sin free. He followed the law. He did great works and Charity and was sincere and believed in God and had faith in God, but Satan wasn’t torturing him doing things that he did not deserve, Joe deserved everything he got because he was still a sinner as much as he tried to do it here to the law as much good as he had done he was still unholy and a sinner and he deserved death, which is why God told Satan he could not take his life. God didn’t let Satan put all that burden on him and take everything away from him just to torture him, God used that situation and created that situation to correct Joe and lead him to salvation. God was saving him humbling him making him realise that he wasn’t perfect he wasn’t sin free he did it deserve heaven, Job kept saying if you could just talk to God and tell him there’s a big mistake till God he was that all and God would restore his blessings but it wasn’t until he humbled himself and that he needed and forgiveness because he wasn’t pure and holy when he gave up that pride independence on his obedience of the law and his good works for his salvation Accepted that he needed somebody else to intercede and save him from what he actually deserved. Even much of the old orthodox church used to teach Job this way but this is always the answer when we interact with God and have problems is to humble ourselves and realise that the only way is to let him do it and doing that isn’t us being dumb it’s just admitting that what needs to be done is supernatural it is beyond our ability, and we just have to accept that God is beyond that and let him do it.
Russell Brand is very smart. He thinks he studies he learns and he uses that understanding and wisdom gains from initiating that study experience to guide his life, for him to humble himself and turn away from that prideful self reliance and worship of self was incredibly difficult but that’s what we all need to do . And like the atheists who are out there attacking Christianity and joining atheist groups and identifying themselves and an atheist and letting it define their lives, I don’t think they are atheistic. I think they believe in God but they’re just struggling with it and trying to figure it out And they’re struggling with their own pride and just need to come to that point where they stop worshipping themselves and relying on their own understanding and they give it up to the Lord and let him save them instead of thinking that they’re just such good people that they deserve to go to heaven. That way we don’t always identify ourselves as atheist but we all had these problems with pride and thinking we could do it ourselves. There are many even of the big churches that still suffer with us and think they get salvation because of their works because they do such good in this world that God needs them and they deserve to go to heaven, to their salvation themselves and their abilities and the things they do as ritual and making their idol or what we do because we do not us we can’t save ourselves. We can do the God that already saved us that made himself a sacrifice and paid the cost for us Because we had two choices except his free gift of salvation or pay that cost our self there is no in between you can do all the good work you want all the Charity you want you can obey the law as much as you want but that only earned you the default as hell because you’re still a sinner if you want to save that to be wiped away and they accept the death of Jesus Christ who takes on your sin and pay that price for you or to pay it yourself by dying and spending eternity and hell. God does not condemn us to hell we’ve already been condemned by our own sin as perfect as we think we are we’ve all sinned and are guilty. We don’t deserve to be forgiven. We deserve the condemnation that we have earned ourselves God its merciful and he came and died for us and paid that cost because he loves us.
This is what atheist are struggling with. This is what all unbelievers who aren’t just completely ignoring everything or dealing with this coming to an understanding that we can’t do it ourselves we have to humble ourselves and except the fact that we can only be saved from what we’ve already been condemned to because of our own sin that God isn’t condemning us he’s saving us after we’ve condemned ourselves and we have two choices to accept that free gift of salvation or he sacrificed himself to pay that cost or to pay for ourselves which is what we call dying and going to hell, condemning us some guy is kicking us out of the club because he doesn’t like us we’ve condemned ourselves and he’s reaching out and offering a salvation on a silver platter, he already paid the cost And all we have to do is believe in him come to him and say I get it I said I can’t save myself. I need you to save me Jesus I accept your guest of salvation sacrifice and dying for me and that’s it. It’s done. it’s over. You get to go to heaven And become part of the kingdom of God and his spirit lives in you and that changes peoples hearts and that’s when the works and the good things and the obedience and everything comes because we do it because it’s the right thing to do because we want to glorify God created us Live as we were designed to live, we’re trying to do those good things works and those rituals to earn salvation were not worshipping God were worshipping ourselves. We need to humble ourselves stop worshipping ourselves get over pride and salvation comes through him that he is the creator that everything we have is from him, and accept the free gift of salvation. He gave us and his sacrifice so we don’t have to do it ourselves.
It is that simple because he already did all the hard parts for us, but this is what people like Russell Brand. I have a problem with is getting over this whole thing where they think because of their own intelligence and wisdom that they can do it themselves or that they’re giving something up by , not trying to figure out themselves and just letting God do it for them just accepting the gift that he’s already paid for. my experience I find this is always the deal with God whenever we have a problem in our lies with our spirituality with her understanding of something the answer is always to humble yourself get over yourself and give it up to God lean on him let him do it for you trust in him he tells us what to do and we can think about it all we want come up with 1 million different options but in the end he already told us what was right and how to do it and we’re just wasting our time pandering to our delusion that we are somehow superior and what we think is more important or more correct or more accurate than what God thinks. Once we learn to get over that and get rid of our pride, it’s ridiculously easy.
True Christians can explain the solid dome Firmament, and how God put the sun moon and stars in it on day 4 and they understand Joshua's longest day, when God stopped the sun and moon, they also accept the Bible when it tells us about the stationary Earth.
The Bible tells us to question everything and hold good. Only the true actually do it.
Beware of Russel Brand.
I thought so at first too, but I see a real change from before to after his baptism. He still has a lot to learn but I see the Holy Spirit’s influence on him.
God is so good.
He wasn’t an atheist…he is connected to the masons, he and his wife both have tattoos of the number 33, the highest degree in masonry and they don’t worship Christ…hopefully he truly is saved and not deceiving
I'm happy he believes in God. Avoid the RCC at all costs.
That’s an interesting question. I do not think it would be moral for me to engage in animal sacrifice, but I don’t think that this applies to all individuals across time and cultures. Also, I have killed and eaten animals - something that our society does on a pretty large scale. I don’t always feel good about it, but I don’t think that it is morally wrong….
I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at.
It's kind of dishonest to say he was an atheist
russel brand was a new age spirituality type before he became a christian. he was never an atheist.
he argued against atheism in the past before he became a christian
Are you doing a whole series of videos on people who should be in prison?
What?
Oh! Does that mean we’ll get the Apostle Paul next? Then King David perhaps?
I would believe in God any God and Religion if there was actually evidence. I been an atheist majority of my life but an uneducated none believer when I was younger who didn’t know anything about science and evidence against Religions/Gods especially Christianity. In 2004 age 19 I was going through a deep depression and I was given Lee Strobel books from deeply religious uncle. I fell for Christian apologetics and creationism because I didn’t know any better. Wasn’t until I researched science and counter apologetics for the first time I realized apologetics are liars.
Lee Strobel and others like him lie for money, their arguments reinforced there no evidence for Christianity. Lee Strobel and other like minded apologetics use bible as evidence for the Bible, like the eye witness to Jesus resurrection, empty tomb and etc. with no evidence outside the bible supporting it. Even the exact location of Jesus tomb hasn’t been discovered, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Talpiot Tomb, Roza Bal, The Garden Tomb, Kirisuto no haka, are popular beliefs of tomb location with no solid evidence for resurrection from any tomb. There are suicide cults like Havens Gate who castrated male members as a requirement to join. Most people in the cult died from intentionally drinking poison for a lie (Doctrine) they deeply sincerely believed in, even the cult leader Marshall Applewhite believed what he preached, he suffered from mental illness. There other suicide cults to. Also none of the gospel writers were actual friends of Jesus, they were written in Greek decades even a century later as is the case of Gospel of John. Writers are anonymous who used the names of Jesus friends, wrote down the oral stories about Jesus, which was common among the minority of literate people/Christians at time period. There was a lot of different gospels written. I recommend you read Bart D Ehrman books to learn much more in-depth factual information. Even if they were eyewitness of Jesus resurrection, there are people alive today who claimed to have seen, big foot, fairies, elvis sightings after his death, space aliens and etc. if you unwilling to dedicate your life to people you can talk to today, why dedicate your life to claims of people who lived thousands of years ago?
The old testament ancient Jews and modern day Muslims sacrifice animals to the Abrahamic God, God wants animal sacrifices which seems stereotypical satanic ritualistic. Was God unable to have come up with better options than animal sacrifices, maybe God has limitations which contradict with Gods attributes of being, all powerful, all knowing, perfect, all loving and etc. Reasons for animal sacrifices is due to repentance for original sin caused by Adam and Eve bringing sin into the world which makes no sense. God created Adam and Eve without the knowledge of good and evil aka right, and wrong much like a baby understanding. God supposed to be all knowing, all powerful and perfect somehow expected adults with a baby like comprehension of right and wrong to obey him and not eat the forbidden fruit in which God created and placed in their midts (garden of eden). It like if parents placed a poisonous plant into theirs babies play pen and get angry their baby didn’t listen to them about not eating poison plant. Such parents deserve to spend rest of their lives in prison. God cursed all the decedents of Adam and Eve with original sin. Bible also sass if taken literally, God committed genocide, Noah flood, killing first born in Egypt including children, Sodom and Gomorrah and etc. which goes back to Adam and Eve bringing sin into the world. It seems to me God has accountability issues and blames others for what he did.
Christianity is self refuting, Jesus and God supposedly one and the same, therefore God cannot be all powerful, all knowing, all loving, forgiving and perfect because God has limitations by not being able to just forgive humanity, instead God went through all the trouble of turning himself into a human in order to sacrifice (human sacrifice) himself to himself to please himself which we told is why Christians don’t have to commit animal sacrifices anymore.
In both old and new testaments are contradictory on lots of things example slavery. A lot of passages support slavery and some can be interpreted against it, no biblical laws clearly against owning humans as property. There no scripture in bible supporting democracy nor mention of anything similar to democracy, USA founding was a product of the secular age of enlightenment, a lot of the founding fathers were not even Christians example Thomas Jefferson was a Deist, read his Jefferson Bible. No scripture clearly supports child labor laws, no scripture supports women equal rights, No scripture clearly against child marriage in which was common around the world including in Christian majority countries for grown men to marry female children. I can go on and on.
Your God probably doesn’t exist and your religion is bullshit. The bible doesn’t have timeless morality it a product of the time period it was written in and the good morals in bible are nothing special, majority of societies and religions around the world have laws against murder, it not unique to Abraham religions and predates them, it a natural survival instinct to not want to live in a society with rampant murders. Religion are all man made and humanity needs to move away from and all other dogmatism to including political dogma, communism, fascism and etc.
You mentioned that you were 19 in 2004; we're very close in age.
You made your case and brought up some interesting points. I don't feel that you're going to find someone to debate you for one reason or the other. You've made your mind up. I dealt with depression, too...among other things. Me telling you about my life transformation would be a moot point, in your eyes and beliefs.
I hope you have something to establish your faith and hope. This world and its toxic nature is overbearing. If you pray to anything, please ask that i be enlightened. I will pray to God (that you have stated is non-existant) to send His spirit to you and soften your heart. That He will give you peace and joy that you've never experienced.
I understand that you dont believe in God. But we all draw inspiration from quotes. If you would entertain it, check out Philippians 4:8. It is my life verse and I hope you can at least apply the logic to your life. Be well and please know that I mean no harm.
You seem to expect a high level of coherence and exactitude as standards for any true religion, but your own refutation of religion is rather rambling and all over the place. I suppose that makes sense since most of us draw big conclusions from a wide variety of observations and lived experiences. I just think it’s important to acknowledge that the level of certainty and exactitude you seem to want aren’t really present in science or other non religious human activities either - at least not in their present forms.
These points may all seem like tangents, but rambling does beget rambling - anyway, an inability or unwillingness to declare an impure being pure does not seem like an effective argument against omnipotence.
Also, using modern western values related to parenting to criticize the God of the creation story - well, it’s been done a lot, and it might be an ok thing, but I am not sure if it can be a logically coherent and productive activity.
I guess that what you said about Heaven’s Gate is in response to apologist’s assertions that early Christian’s willingness to die for their beliefs should be seen as evidence of those beliefs. It’s a pretty different situation. It would be a better argument if the Heaven’s Gate people were all separated over a period of decades, offered repeated incentives to cast aside their beliefs and then went on to do what they did.
You’re not getting paid to publish these ideas so it’s not really fair for me to expect you to be flawless in your explanation of them. I just don’t find anything too compelling in any of the criticisms you have offered. I am not sure what you’re looking for but it seems like you want humanity to transcend its limitations and mistakes while still condemning the best things humans have ever held forth - because it’s human.
@@johnfinfrock8095 Do you believe animal sacifices are moral?
Looks like you’ve been looking for why he would not be real instead of trying to seek him. All your arguments are based on idea of you being a superior human being to define how things should be for God to be real. I honestly don’t think you can see things clearly from that position. And many of your arguments regarding to God’s goodness are massively uninformed conclusions of what it says in the bible.
Let’s take some pressure of you. It’s not your ”job” to believe in Jesus. Your responsibility is to have an open heart to receive Him and He enables you to believe.
The fulfilment of over 300 prophecies by Jesus is the evidence of God's existence outside of our time & domain biblical divinely sourced nature - 66 books , by 40 "authors " over 2000 years ...
Isaiah 53 talks about the crucifixion about 800 years prior the invention by Romans ...
The evidence is overwhelming brother...

The question is, "Has his focus changed?" Another question: "Is his personal life different as well as the picture he presents to the world?" Those who still are condemning him (and who do not even lay out any present day evidence) should be concerning themselves with their own Self. That's where your problem lays; Russell Brand nor any other person is not your problem.
@Aliciae411 Did these "victims" wait to "reveal their victimhood" until they could get by without presenting any evidence? What credentials do you possess that allows you to convict him without presentation of evidence? BTW: I am not his fan, not now or ever. But I am a fan of Truth and True Justice, which never includes trial by accusation without clear-cut evidence.
@@jueneturner8331 yes one of the ladies went to the police at the time and it’s on record.
Anyone who criticises a victim for coming out later has no clue about sexual assault. It takes a lot to come forward, especially against a public figure.
You can also just watch his old stuff and what he’s said out of his own mouth. Suggesting for a girl about to turn 16 to have a sex themed party 🤢 rape jokes….its really not a stretch to believe he mistreated women, he’s literally admitted to it. His excuse was that he was different at the time, it’s a total cop out and removing all accountability and responsibly from himself by claiming he is now changed with absolutely no remorse and no compassion for his victims.
Ah yes the man who suddenly found faith in order to evade his past he’s disgusting.
Not the first man to do this and won’t be the last.
