A genuinely beautiful hour of my time. Thank you. I’m a Christian who is really struggling with anger towards the drift in our culture towards perversions of all sorts. This reminded me to be servant hearted.
It seems you are not a good observer of culture. What are you referring too? To me, issue with our culture today is Christians bring way too political and leaning towards autocrats and using their religion to discriminate against others. Christians always complain about culture, they only apply their morality towards their in-group and refuse to apply it to anyone else.
Hey Andrew, you can be angry at me, I do not believe in your deity and see a natural world. please do 'hit me up' with your Christian love and convert me away from my wicked sin. Why do you believe it?
@@allismama not an assumption. The average age of parishioners is increasing, fewer baptisms. In Australia a church and Life Survey in 2018 had 27% select the response they believe in a god. The situation in the USA and other western countries is similar. You people can read the sacred scriptures in original Hebrew and Greek and see the misrepresentations that clergy make about Christianity.
Amazing conversation! Rebecca is giving such truthful historical facts about Jesus and what we should believe about Him and how He has impacted the world up to today.
@@downenout8705 Indeed. The historical facts about Jesus contradict the magical claims about Jesus. Indeed "remarkable", but not in the way Sean implies...
@@crisjunfan2139 That argument fails to be valid. The historical facts about Jesus was that he was crucified and died. That magical claims were the result of the cult that sprang up, and was influenced by other mythologies of the day (Greek, Roman, Zoroaster, Jewish mysticism, etc). Resurrections and apocalypses were par for the course for a mostly illiterate cohort. This goes for healing, resurrection, and divinity. So it is indeed remarkable to conflate historical fact with magical belief. That would be simply called historical fiction. It doesn't "add toxicity" to challenge spurious assertions.

Very glad to see that you spoke to Rebecca McLaughlin, she was a great speaker at the Keswick convention a few years back and makes me want to grow closer to Jesus
Excellent interview. Rebecca can have a major impact on educating the mainstream (so-called) "Christian" Church, which is in a big mess right now (suffering from a huge lack of proper, accurate knowledge). Rebecca can make a big difference. May she continue prosper in her ministry. Very encouraging to see believers with a great understanding. A light must not be hidden.
Wow! Just a huge thank you! Several concepts in this conversation regarding Christianity and our Jesus are things I’ve never heard spoken about before. This was so edifying! I am deeply grateful!
And while you're at it, listen to those rational people who you call 'unbelievers" as if not believing in mythology cloaked as a religion is somehow controversial.
Sean, I've only recently found your channel; and in the few videos I've watched, I really love the questions you ask your guests. The same types of questions skeptics would ask, you ask. 👍👍👍👍
Love this guy. Dr McDowell gets the best guests, creating the best discussions. Loved this discussion, she is great - practical and important Bible. Home run Sean McDowell!
Sean, my brother, please keep telling the Truth !! People truly need to hear the unwatered down Gospel of Jesus Christ. I read your dad's awesome book, " Evidence that demands a Verdict ", literally decades ago. A truly momentous Christian resource, it's brought countless people who doubted Christ's Sacrificial Sacrifice on purpose behalf. God Almighty is indeed a good God in every single way one can imagine. God bless you, Sean. ✝️
What a great conversation with a brilliant guest! I'm pretty certain that people just forgot to hit the like button here because this deserves a lot more likes than are registered at this point (2.5k).
Sean, these last couple of interviews have been a real treat! Your obedience to the will of the Spirit is a huge blessing to all of us. You emulate the character of the Lord. Hope to see Rebecca back on again!
If you emulate Jesus, you would not believe Jesus did or said these things. Jesus never killed a tree because it didn't produce fruit out of season. Jesus never called all Pharisees "vipers." That would have been judgment and he taught us to not judge. Jesus never said, " Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell." That would have been promoting fear instead of love. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."
Many thanks Rebecca! You have a real gift. So much confusion out there, great that you are taking on the tough questions. Loved your first book. May God bless you and keep you.
"It's 'crazy' either way you look." This is so true. I was a hardcore Atheist my entire young life, I'm 37 now and after thinking about all sorts of philosophy and moral issues for many years, going to university for it as well, I came to the same conclusion. Both sides are "crazy" but its actually Atheist concepts or lack of God that, philosophically, are MORE outlandish the more deep I got into it. Now I'm certain that God exists and that Jesus was the son of God and our salvation. I now pray every day and I can report that it makes my days better when I do.
Why do you suppose that the way of jesus-whatever it was has anything to do with that mumbic hum that me(humanbeings/dresming machines call "morals"? Is it not more practical say that at this remove,*absolutely nothing can be known(directly imediatelypersonally experienced) of the way of jesus and that it can only have had some impact on men(human/beings dreaming machines) at a time when there was a living tradition of christianity which can only have continued until the death of the lt link in the chain, which almost certainly must have occurred within a century of the death of christ, with which the religion of christianity insofar at this remove anything at all can be discovered about it. Praying in aid what is called " the gospels will not help since they are little more than a series of banal anecdotes about the man without any detail of what his way or method or specific teaching consisted. I doubt a man of the stature and being of christ a insofar as anything at all can be discovered about it would have concerned him self with that subjective and relative nonsense that men call morals or ethics which are no more than subjective relative and temporary likes and dislikes(or automatic-mechanical reactions of the emotional(like/dislike function/ processor/mechanism, or what have been called psychological policemen glued to which are meaningless words know a right and wrong with are no more than cognates or synonyms of likes and dislikes which are simply reactions of the emotional function to which men attach a significance which they really do not merit. Surely it must be *can_only* be that any ideas or conceptions about man or his teaching can only be approximations, or customs or habits or fashions or suppositions behind hich there *simly_cannot* be anything of substance or better or worse more or less curate approximations there being no-one with any substantive or substantial grounds for saying that and such a conception or approximations as there are , are better or worse conceived. there being no well of knowledge/understanding of chrisyianity- which could only be a living oral tradition, from which to drink, and if there be any such well its whereabouts are a very well and closely guarded secret.. It was rumoured that at one time there were schools of christianity where the tradition in oral form was preserved, but true or not at this remove they simply cannot exist anymore unless they also have some knowledge of how in practice to be immune to time -not something on which the prudent would be inclined to wager, thus the idea that such schools could possibly extant must be dismissed. Anyone arrogating to himself the supposition that he is any position to say whether or not any conceptions of christ are better or worse as is said " conceived" can only be bullshitting or trying to inflate what at best can only be subjective opinions into something other than mere subjective opinions - or in short be some swaggering pipsqueak suggesting that his /her opinion is some how referable to others, there being little or no material from which anything can be said about a man that has been dead for centuries, and about whom any amount of nonsense has been prosed based on what can only be fragments the provenance of which are completely obscure for xample the obvious fiction that the man magically came back to life which can_only* be fabrication or fiction used as a gloss to add to what needed no such gloss- the resurrection fiction be clearly irrelevant and biliously a fiction because it could not possible as a matter of reason or common sens be relevant a gloss put upon what they could not understand by men that did not understand, because they lacked the wits. If you are going to lie do a least try to make your lie pass certain tests and those that fabricated the resurrection fiction clearly lacked the wits to ensure their lie could pass those tests and it simply cannot, or in simple terms they were stupid or having been stupefied and supposed others to be as stupid as they were. It is not unknown for those aware of the vice of mendacity to seek to justify their vice by supping it to be virtue, or a supposing your vice to be justifiable because you suppose it to be as-is said in.... a...... good- why not perjure yourself it you suppose your perjury to be virtuous or as Uncle Joe would say you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs; that...... old..... lie.

Do you find that Atheist seem more imposing with there empty view of God then actually letting one be a believer and let them enjoy Jesus as opposed to nothing
There is probably nothing new in the video but as it is discussed it is so clear, encouraging and inspiring. One of the videos I would love many people to see. And the best is it is about the most important message and person of history. About God meeting and fixing his creation. Thank you Rebecca and Sean!
Wow! finally a person with the letters PhD behind their name that is not a complete idiot but just the opposite. This woman is blessed with great wisdom and knowledge(two very different things). She is truly inspired.
@@grayintheuk8021 a PhD reflects a deep knowledge base. Wisdom is the application of that deep knowledge base. A PhD serves this corporal world of contrast. You can transcend your limited human mind by way of your spirit.
I feel so proud to see this beautiful lady on youtube. I don't know why, but I think it is because our concerns are the same - the truth of Jesus Christ. I dare not hope to see in person. I have subscribed to her email and will listen to all her messages. Thanks to Jesus for raising up a person like her.
Jesus was and is the greatest teacher in history. He taught by example and to cause people to think deeply and explore more. He shines His light on the path on which He invites us to follow Him. Great interchange and look I forward to reading and sharing her books.
Loved the conversation Sean! I have a recommendation of another apologist who’s name is David Wood. He has a very interesting testimony and I think it would be perfect for this channel. Keep up the Lord’s work!
At minute 34 up to 34 and a quarter, there is a key summary which I think gets brushed over too quickly. It's not just that we can't pick and choose; it's that even the moral teachings of Jesus that we like are wrapped up in who He is. We can't obey the teachings unless we align with him as the king of the world, receive His Spirit, turn from trusting in idols to trusting in God, etc. It is all a package deal, the crux of which is who Jesus is. I don't know how to explain this in a few words. Rebecca says it in those fifteen seconds in a few words, but reading the Bible to unpack those words and really explain them and begin to understand them is a whole other story. It takes a lifetime of Bible-reading, perhaps. Perhaps a glimpse can be found in two Scriptures that are easy to miss: John 8.31-32 ... where accepting Jesus' teaching - much of which was about himself and who he is, such as his being the bread that came down from heaven - accepting the teaching leads to three things: being disciples, knowing the truth, and being set free. Moralists often try to apply it as an if-then statement "If you know the truth, then you will be set free." It is actually: If you abide in my words, THEN you will be disciples AND you will know the truth AND that truth will set you free." (see also John 14:23-24, 6.63, 7:37-39). Another is John 7:16-17 ... person who has chosen to align with God to do His will, will find out that Jesus' teaching comes from God. We often tell it as though one had to first believe that Jesus' teaching comes from God in order to start doing God's will, but this verse has it work the other way around. The obedient heart comes first, and then the faith in Christ flows from that. One can't say they have an obedient heart towards God and then reject Jesus' claims about his origin. See also 6:28-29, then 6.38, 41-46, 51, 60-62. When they grumble in 41-42 and in verse 60, it seems to be about Jesus saying he came down from heaven, because in 60-61 Jesus then asks what they will think when they see him go up to heaven. Catholics focus on the complaint of verse 52, and say that v. 66 refers to the eating part, but it is much more likely that the rejection refers to who Jesus says he is, that he has come down from heaven and from the Father.
I renounce Mormonism. I now Know & have met the Living Lord God Jesus of Nazareth on His Tgrine of Mercy & Grace. His Finished work on the Cross is Real! He himself showed me! I love Him & He Healed me after I renounced all false doctrines and chose His Divinity.
I love her statement, “I’m more and more convinced as I go on in Christian life as I learn more, as I study further and listen to a variety of voices I’m more and more convinced that Jesus is in fact the saviour of the world”
Love your neighbour as yourself and treat others how you want to be treated is a very deep teaching. I have heard that all my life but have been seeing lately just how deep that is. Jesus also taught that if someone strikes you on the cheek turn to them the other also. If we go back to loving our neighbour as yourself we get a deeper understanding and appreciation of turning the other cheek. If you don't want to be hit then don't hit back. We are told to treat others how we want to be treated. Not to treat them how they treat us. The Lord says vengeance is his. He will repay. We walk in and live in LOVE.
Jesus never killed a tree because it didn't produce fruit out of season. Jesus never called all Pharisees "vipers." That would have been judgment and he taught us to not judge. Jesus never said, " Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell." That would have been promoting fear instead of love. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."
Look up one for Isreal on you tube and you will hear so many jewish testimonials that will put tears in your eyes and a joy in your heart of them accepting Christ
I found recently, despite being brought up in a Christian home and being a believer most of my life, the Bible still feels mythological and separate from what we commonly referred to as “history “. That is until you lineup the time frames with biblical history, and secular history. you hear about the Romans in the Bible and there’s almost a disconnect, at least, in my mind, between them, and the Romans I’ve learned about in the secular history books. Reading through Daniel, and understanding that his prophecies were about Alexander the great, and the Roman empire brought things into a reality that I hadn’t had before.
@@crisjunfan2139 All of my comments here are of "good faith" if by the term you mean sound and rational critiques of cultists. I'm insulting lack of intellectual or moral merit to these childish arguments that are made, and if you choose to not defend the irrationality with rational rebuttal, that SHOULD be ridiculed, and used as an object lesson. If you don't have anything of value to say, I simply don't care. I'm not going anywhere. And I will CONTINUE to critique here in hopes of some ONE of you that has an adult IQ and/or argument for your magical thinking (or not, because by definition your inculcation has removed any agency or intellectual merit from your immaturity). Have I been clear? Or would you like me to say it in forms your mythology holds dear because both Jesus and Paul said much the same thing in their points about discernment, fundamentalism, maturity, and so on. I just try to treat adults like adults, but there seem to be a plethora of never adulted here. If my critiques have no other value, it certainly shows that.
@@desnock since you you don’t know what coming to the topic in good faith means, then there’s no point in trying to explain it to you. Here’s a suggestion. Why don’t you contact Sean and tell him you want to engage with him directly so that you can dazzle him with your brilliance. Perhaps he won’t be quite as dazzled as you yourself are, but he’ll be dazzled nonetheless. I’m sure he’s never heard or considered any of the critiques you have to offer, nor has anyone so perhaps you can deconvert him. Then you can die happy knowing you’ve disabused at least one of those “cultists” of their silly beliefs. You say you just try to treat people like adults, but before you can do that you have to know what one is. You think you know what my beliefs are but you actually don’t. You do reveal something about yourself however. You reveal that you believe obnoxious trolling to be a virtue. As such it’s clear you are very sincere in your beliefs. Best of luck in your evangelistic efforts.
@@crisjunfan2139 a very uninteresting rant. How about this, dummy: respond to the topic instead of showing no understanding of it by playing the unintelligent victim being attacked by someone who actually understands more than you do, hmm? You do realize, little guy, that you posted your inculcated perspectives on social media? And are so triggered by someone showing what a petulant cult member you are, that instead of being, you know, a rational adult, you prove my point by showing not a blessed clue, you deplorable human being? Is this what Christianity shows you? Sean, not for nothing, finds the ignorance and defense of illiteracy (especially of Christianity) reprehensible. Thus, clueless wonder, there is absolute value in granting you the opportunity, and your subsequent utter failure. You are not the center of the universe, because you choose to make baseless commentary, and then whine when you are made an object lesson. Again, why the hell would I take such a prime example of the failure of your cult, ie you, and NOT use you as an example of the failure of your myth/cult? Now feel free to reply, or stop bitching if your foolishness is treated accordingly. Or, for the love of all that is holy, grow up and make a point or rebut mine. Otherwise, shut up.
It's a sloth hanging from a tree branch. When she talks about it at minute 40, she pronounces the animal's name as something like "sleōth", and is ironically talking faster than her usual, which makes it easy to mistake for "slave" because she'd just been talking about slaves right before that.
@@pweinbrenner The cross is a rather ludicrous symbol for Christianity, as it represents not the resurrection myth, but the martyr myth. It would seem that the right symbol for your cult would be an empty tomb. or a fish (which actually WAS the symbol of christianity back in the day). what the cross represents is a victim class of people who ironically live the least Christi-ian life imaginable and cloak themselves in the myth. The person who denounced that? Jesus ("Lord, did we not do these things in your name, and I will say to them "get thee away from me evildoer!"")
Thank you, I totally agree with all those aspects of Jesus and is how I view Him. However, I believe there to be another aspect of Jesus that again could be viewed as uncomfortable but is nevertheless very important to recognise and that is… Jesus the Judge! Many people are not comfortable with the impending tribulation and judgements of Jesus. To understand all the complexities of who Jesus is, is extremely important in our Christian walk and understanding of Gods ultimate plan of redemption and restoration.

Wow this was beautiful. Continue to bless this awesome woman. I cried at the section of Jesus is our lover…. how God will unite the new heaven and the new earth.

Years ago I was given the amazing privilege of speaking in our church once a month. We were working through the gospel of Mark. Our assignment was to pick one event in the chapter we were given and craft a sermon around it. All of my chapters had what I called “Mean Jesus”!“ He called people brood of vipers, he told a woman she was not worthy of a miracle, He accused the students of Scripture of NOT studying. He did all kinds of mean things! I did not like that at all! I wanted to preach “Nice Jesus”. However, you have to have both sides.
No, you don't if you throw out things in the Bible that didn't happen.Jesus never killed a tree because it didn't produce fruit out of season. Jesus never called all Pharisees "vipers." That would have been judgment and he taught us to not judge. Jesus never said, " Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell." That would have been promoting fear instead of love. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." The false prophesy from the OT is that Jesus came to rid us of our sin and guilt through sacrifice. He came to teach us that forgiveness ends our guilt. If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.
Just stories in an old book that says a thing. What inspires you in the Vedas or Quran? Maybe in the JW bible or Mormon little blue book? They also have stories that people find inspiring too.
The biggest misconception about Jesus is he returns twice. When the Lord returns the second time it's over. NO second chances, and no pre-trib rapture.
@@davidjanbaz7728 I ran out of chill pills. Thank goodness I still have scripture. If you believe in a pre-trib rapture, then you deny what Jesus taught. In Lu 17:28-30 Jesus said the SAME DAY Lot (Represents believers) went out of the city, God destroyed THEM ALL. (Unbelievers) No one left behind Also, in Mt 13:30,37-43 Jesus says the end of the WORLD (Age) is the harvest (Rapture) NO one left behind according to Jesus.
Pre trib rapture is what many true Chriatian leaders and pastors believe. So if yours is the contrary, by all means endure the coming 666 reign. See you on the other side.
@@oliverjuria993 The bible says test every spirit. In Lu 17:28-30 Jesus says the SAME DAY Lot (Represents believers) went out of the city, God destroyed THEM ALL. (ALL unbelievers). THE SAME DAY. So, do you believe Jesus or your teachers? This is the point where most pre-tribers stop replying.

Waoh, my first time to watch this channel. So great materials in the conversation. Rebecca has said it all. She has added me a very huge theological education in answering and discussing the 9 confronting Jesus. God bless you so much Sr Dr Rebecca for being a good (and through this online broadcast) you are an international Evangelist. My cry and call is that, if you don't have started yet, CAN YOU PLEASE ESTABLISH A MASSIVE EVANGELISM OUTREACH globally especially to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to all non christian and muslims to the end of the world? God has given you a very great talent to teach.
Well Jesus never wrote anything, before or after he rose from the dead so your not reading anything by Jesus. Your trust is in fallible humans writing decades later. With your earliest source (Paul) seeing no physical Jesus, nor did the men with him. Acts is not even written by Paul so it isn't actually him even reporting the experience he supposedly had. Paul doesn't even quote Jesus, so we know the gospels didn't even exist before Paul. Mark is your next source, which of course the ending was added to (Mark 16:9-20) it ends with the women being afraid and tell no one what the man within the tomb had said to them. A random man who you cannot even verify exists.
LOL 😆 : you don't know if Jesus wrote anything or Not. He wrote on the ground and listed the sins or the Law of those who wanted to stone the woman but let the man go in spite of what the Law states for 2 people caught in the VERY ACT of adultery. And obviously a hallucination isn't going to literally blind Paul but an actual vision of Jesus at the Right hand of the Father's Glory would blind Paul. I find your post to be just biased and incoherent.
@@anthonybarber3872 It's not all or nothing. No writing should be trusted completely, right? It's useful for piecing together history, but not for trusting unconditionally. Do you agree?

The historical facts about Jesus was that he was crucified and died.

Resurrections and apocalypses were par for the course for a mostly illiterate cohort. This goes for healing, resurrection, and divinity.

Rebecca can make a big difference. May she continue prosper in her ministry. Very encouraging to see believers with a great understanding. A light must not be hidden.
Wow. This was a great conversation. Thank you for this.
Wow! Just a huge thank you! Several concepts in this conversation regarding Christianity and our Jesus are things I’ve never heard spoken about before. This was so edifying! I am deeply grateful!
Another great show Sean. I'm a follower of Jesus, but I'm looking forward to reading her new book to use in helping to share with unbelievers I know.
Awesome, you’ll enjoy it. And check out Confronting Christianity too.
And while you're at it, listen to those rational people who you call 'unbelievers" as if not believing in mythology cloaked as a religion is somehow controversial.
Thank you Rebacca for your honesty and the gift Jesus has given you.
Sean, I've only recently found your channel; and in the few videos I've watched, I really love the questions you ask your guests. The same types of questions skeptics would ask, you ask. 👍👍👍👍
This is amazing dialog between both of you. Thank you for uploading this gem. ✝️
Love this guy. Dr McDowell gets the best guests, creating the best discussions. Loved this discussion, she is great - practical and important Bible. Home run Sean McDowell!
Thanks Darren. I agree, she’s GREAT!
Her calm, classy and informed approach is refreshing
Excellent conversation! I appreciate how in-depth Rebecca went into looking at who Jesus is. I will check out her book!
Sean, my brother, please keep telling the Truth !! People truly need to hear the unwatered down Gospel of Jesus Christ. I read your dad's awesome book, " Evidence that demands a Verdict ", literally decades ago. A truly momentous Christian resource, it's brought countless people who doubted Christ's Sacrificial Sacrifice on purpose behalf. God Almighty is indeed a good God in every single way one can imagine. God bless you, Sean. ✝️
What a great conversation. Thank you both and God bless.
What a great conversation with a brilliant guest!
I'm pretty certain that people just forgot to hit the like button here because this deserves a lot more likes than are registered at this point (2.5k).
Awesome in so many churches Jesus is presented as a genie. This is Christology, very very good
Outstanding Rebecca knows Jesus. Everyone needs to hear testimony. Great discussion Sean.
So enjoyed this discussion. Looking forward to getting her book.
Sean, these last couple of interviews have been a real treat! Your obedience to the will of the Spirit is a huge blessing to all of us. You emulate the character of the Lord. Hope to see Rebecca back on again!
He really does emulate the character of the Lord! In my opinion, even well!
Good job my "maybe" cousin many times REMOVED (who got removed? you or me?lol) you related to Chuck? Me neither.....
Thank you!
If you emulate Jesus, you would not believe Jesus did or said these things.
Jesus never killed a tree because it didn't produce fruit out of season.
Jesus never called all Pharisees "vipers." That would have been judgment and he taught us to not judge.
Jesus never said, " Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
That would have been promoting fear instead of love. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."

Loved this talk! Sounds like a great book, Rebecca
It really is!
I'm so blessed to stumble upon this.
Many thanks Rebecca! You have a real gift. So much confusion out there, great that you are taking on the tough questions. Loved your first book. May God bless you and keep you.
Hi Sean, so thankful for you and your fathers ministry. They’ve been a blessing to me in my walk with the Lord. Praying for you and your health!
"It's 'crazy' either way you look." This is so true. I was a hardcore Atheist my entire young life, I'm 37 now and after thinking about all sorts of philosophy and moral issues for many years, going to university for it as well, I came to the same conclusion. Both sides are "crazy" but its actually Atheist concepts or lack of God that, philosophically, are MORE outlandish the more deep I got into it. Now I'm certain that God exists and that Jesus was the son of God and our salvation. I now pray every day and I can report that it makes my days better when I do.
Why do you suppose that the way of jesus-whatever it was has anything to do with that mumbic hum that me(humanbeings/dresming machines call "morals"?
Is it not more practical say that at this remove,*absolutely nothing can be known(directly imediatelypersonally experienced) of the way of jesus and that it can only have had some impact on men(human/beings dreaming machines) at a time when there was a living tradition of christianity which can only have continued until the death of the lt link in the chain, which almost certainly must have occurred within a century of the death of christ, with which the religion of christianity insofar at this remove anything at all can be discovered about it. Praying in aid what is called " the gospels will not help since they are little more than a series of banal anecdotes about the man without any detail of what his way or method or specific teaching consisted. I doubt a man of the stature and being of christ a insofar as anything at all can be discovered about it would have concerned him self with that subjective and relative nonsense that men call morals or ethics which are no more than subjective relative and temporary likes and dislikes(or automatic-mechanical reactions of the emotional(like/dislike function/ processor/mechanism, or what have been called psychological policemen glued to which are meaningless words know a right and wrong with are no more than cognates or synonyms of likes and dislikes which are simply reactions of the emotional function to which men attach a significance which they really do not merit.
Surely it must be *can_only* be that any ideas or conceptions about man or his teaching can only be approximations, or customs or habits or fashions or suppositions behind hich there *simly_cannot* be anything of substance or better or worse more or less curate approximations there being no-one with any substantive or substantial grounds for saying that and such a conception or approximations as there are , are better or worse conceived. there being no well of knowledge/understanding of chrisyianity- which could only be a living oral tradition, from which to drink, and if there be any such well its whereabouts are a very well and closely guarded secret..
It was rumoured that at one time there were schools of christianity where the tradition in oral form was preserved, but true or not at this remove they simply cannot exist anymore unless they also have some knowledge of how in practice to be immune to time -not something on which the prudent would be inclined to wager, thus the idea that such schools could possibly extant must be dismissed.
Anyone arrogating to himself the supposition that he is any position to say whether or not any conceptions of christ are better or worse as is said " conceived" can only be bullshitting or trying to inflate what at best can only be subjective opinions into something other than mere subjective opinions - or in short be some swaggering pipsqueak suggesting that his /her opinion is some how referable to others, there being little or no material from which anything can be said about a man that has been dead for centuries, and about whom any amount of nonsense has been prosed based on what can only be fragments the provenance of which are completely obscure for xample the obvious fiction that the man magically came back to life which can_only* be fabrication or fiction used as a gloss to add to what needed no such gloss- the resurrection fiction be clearly irrelevant and biliously a fiction because it could not possible as a matter of reason or common sens be relevant a gloss put upon what they could not understand by men that did not understand, because they lacked the wits. If you are going to lie do a least try to make your lie pass certain tests and those that fabricated the resurrection fiction clearly lacked the wits to ensure their lie could pass those tests and it simply cannot, or in simple terms they were stupid or having been stupefied and supposed others to be as stupid as they were. It is not unknown for those aware of the vice of mendacity to seek to justify their vice by supping it to be virtue, or a supposing your vice to be justifiable because you suppose it to be as-is said in.... a...... good- why not perjure yourself it you suppose your perjury to be virtuous or as Uncle Joe would say you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs; that...... old..... lie.
In sum, all an *Any* ideas of christ or his teaching must necessarily be fanciful and without foundation cause it..... simply..... cannot...... be ..... otherwise*Can_Only be fancy *Built_On* fancy and or that well known source of lies and misinformation the old lie of *Believing...... what....... you *want* ...... to believe. on which sand any mount of fancies built on fancies have been constructed.
Do you find that Atheist seem more imposing with there empty view of God then actually letting one be a believer and let them enjoy Jesus as opposed to nothing
You are a breath of fresh air amidst so many voices today. Thank you.
There is probably nothing new in the video but as it is discussed it is so clear, encouraging and inspiring. One of the videos I would love many people to see. And the best is it is about the most important message and person of history. About God meeting and fixing his creation. Thank you Rebecca and Sean!
I love the way Rebecca thinks and expresses the seriousness of the gospel. Thank you
Excelente interview, and grate program.
I love the intelectual part of studying scriptures and what salvation represents.
Thank you for the kind words!
I'm so blessed. I can't wait to buy your book.
Uplifting conversation, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Thank you so very much🙏🤍😊!!
Thanks for the great interview/discussion Sean.. Dr. Mclaughlin is very clear and knowledgeable!
Great conversation! Encouraging. Thank you
What an encouragement to listen to this discussion! Thank you!
Glad it was useful to listen to!
This was so interesting! It makes me want to check out her Confronting Christ and Confronting Christianity books.
Excellent discussion! Thank you both.
You bet!
Great conversation. Thankyou to both of you. ❤❤❤
Wow! finally a person with the letters PhD behind their name that is not a complete idiot but just the opposite. This woman is blessed with great wisdom and knowledge(two very different things). She is truly inspired.
How is the Ph.D relevant to this subject then?
@@grayintheuk8021 a PhD reflects a deep knowledge base. Wisdom is the application of that deep knowledge base. A PhD serves this corporal world of contrast. You can transcend your limited human mind by way of your spirit.
I feel so proud to see this beautiful lady on youtube. I don't know why, but I think it is because our concerns are the same - the truth of Jesus Christ. I dare not hope to see in person. I have subscribed to her email and will listen to all her messages. Thanks to Jesus for raising up a person like her.
Wow! This is so good. Thanks to both of you for a wonderful discussion on who Jesus actually is and how He loves and cares for us.
No new info yet very good communication made the show very interesting. So great show!
Love this conversation
Wonderful interview Sean! She is a gift!
Great discussion and conversation. Thanks 💞💙👊🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for listening
Thank you!!! That was awesome!
I wish I was as well spoken as her. She is very concise, and I will seek her out after this interview. Anyone else agree?
Jesus was and is the greatest teacher in history.
He taught by example and to cause people to think deeply and explore more. He shines His light on the path on which He invites us to follow Him. Great interchange and look I forward to reading and sharing her books.
So glad you had Rebecca on! Look forward to watching. Keep up the great work Sean!
This is really touching.
The bound that our sins becomes his. And his righteousness becomes ours.
Loved the conversation Sean! I have a recommendation of another apologist who’s name is David Wood. He has a very interesting testimony and I think it would be perfect for this channel. Keep up the Lord’s work!
Great suggestion!
At minute 34 up to 34 and a quarter, there is a key summary which I think gets brushed over too quickly. It's not just that we can't pick and choose; it's that even the moral teachings of Jesus that we like are wrapped up in who He is. We can't obey the teachings unless we align with him as the king of the world, receive His Spirit, turn from trusting in idols to trusting in God, etc. It is all a package deal, the crux of which is who Jesus is. I don't know how to explain this in a few words. Rebecca says it in those fifteen seconds in a few words, but reading the Bible to unpack those words and really explain them and begin to understand them is a whole other story. It takes a lifetime of Bible-reading, perhaps. Perhaps a glimpse can be found in two Scriptures that are easy to miss: John 8.31-32 ... where accepting Jesus' teaching - much of which was about himself and who he is, such as his being the bread that came down from heaven - accepting the teaching leads to three things: being disciples, knowing the truth, and being set free. Moralists often try to apply it as an if-then statement "If you know the truth, then you will be set free." It is actually: If you abide in my words, THEN you will be disciples AND you will know the truth AND that truth will set you free." (see also John 14:23-24, 6.63, 7:37-39). Another is John 7:16-17 ... person who has chosen to align with God to do His will, will find out that Jesus' teaching comes from God. We often tell it as though one had to first believe that Jesus' teaching comes from God in order to start doing God's will, but this verse has it work the other way around. The obedient heart comes first, and then the faith in Christ flows from that. One can't say they have an obedient heart towards God and then reject Jesus' claims about his origin. See also 6:28-29, then 6.38, 41-46, 51, 60-62. When they grumble in 41-42 and in verse 60, it seems to be about Jesus saying he came down from heaven, because in 60-61 Jesus then asks what they will think when they see him go up to heaven. Catholics focus on the complaint of verse 52, and say that v. 66 refers to the eating part, but it is much more likely that the rejection refers to who Jesus says he is, that he has come down from heaven and from the Father.
I renounce Mormonism. I now Know & have met the Living Lord God Jesus of Nazareth on His Tgrine of Mercy & Grace. His Finished work on the Cross is Real! He himself showed me! I love Him & He Healed me after I renounced all false doctrines and chose His Divinity.
This lady has a brilliant mind. This was a great discussion.
I love her statement, “I’m more and more convinced as I go on in Christian life as I learn more, as I study further and listen to a variety of voices I’m more and more convinced that Jesus is in fact the saviour of the world”
Love your neighbour as yourself and treat others how you want to be treated is a very deep teaching. I have heard that all my life but have been seeing lately just how deep that is.
Jesus also taught that if someone strikes you on the cheek turn to them the other also. If we go back to loving our neighbour as yourself we get a deeper understanding and appreciation of turning the other cheek.
If you don't want to be hit then don't hit back. We are told to treat others how we want to be treated. Not to treat them how they treat us.
The Lord says vengeance is his. He will repay.
We walk in and live in LOVE.
Jesus never killed a tree because it didn't produce fruit out of season.
Jesus never called all Pharisees "vipers." That would have been judgment and he taught us to not judge.
Jesus never said, " Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
That would have been promoting fear instead of love. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."

Look up one for Isreal on you tube and you will hear so many jewish testimonials that will put tears in your eyes and a joy in your heart of them accepting Christ
I found recently, despite being brought up in a Christian home and being a believer most of my life, the Bible still feels mythological and separate from what we commonly referred to as “history “. That is until you lineup the time frames with biblical history, and secular history. you hear about the Romans in the Bible and there’s almost a disconnect, at least, in my mind, between them, and the Romans I’ve learned about in the secular history books. Reading through Daniel, and understanding that his prophecies were about Alexander the great, and the Roman empire brought things into a reality that I hadn’t had before.
But none of the places where the book (as a piece of historical fiction) denotes the veracity of its magical claims.
@@desnocknone of your comments here are good faith. You’re either insulting others or are a victim. People know it so troll somewhere else.
@@crisjunfan2139 All of my comments here are of "good faith" if by the term you mean sound and rational critiques of cultists.
I'm insulting lack of intellectual or moral merit to these childish arguments that are made, and if you choose to not defend the irrationality with rational rebuttal, that SHOULD be ridiculed, and used as an object lesson.
If you don't have anything of value to say, I simply don't care. I'm not going anywhere. And I will CONTINUE to critique here in hopes of some ONE of you that has an adult IQ and/or argument for your magical thinking (or not, because by definition your inculcation has removed any agency or intellectual merit from your immaturity).
Have I been clear? Or would you like me to say it in forms your mythology holds dear because both Jesus and Paul said much the same thing in their points about discernment, fundamentalism, maturity, and so on. I just try to treat adults like adults, but there seem to be a plethora of never adulted here. If my critiques have no other value, it certainly shows that.
@@desnock since you you don’t know what coming to the topic in good faith means, then there’s no point in trying to explain it to you.
Here’s a suggestion. Why don’t you contact Sean and tell him you want to engage with him directly so that you can dazzle him with your brilliance. Perhaps he won’t be quite as dazzled as you yourself are, but he’ll be dazzled nonetheless. I’m sure he’s never heard or considered any of the critiques you have to offer, nor has anyone so perhaps you can deconvert him. Then you can die happy knowing you’ve disabused at least one of those “cultists” of their silly beliefs.
You say you just try to treat people like adults, but before you can do that you have to know what one is. You think you know what my beliefs are but you actually don’t. You do reveal something about yourself however. You reveal that you believe obnoxious trolling to be a virtue. As such it’s clear you are very sincere in your beliefs. Best of luck in your evangelistic efforts.
@@crisjunfan2139 a very uninteresting rant. How about this, dummy: respond to the topic instead of showing no understanding of it by playing the unintelligent victim being attacked by someone who actually understands more than you do, hmm? You do realize, little guy, that you posted your inculcated perspectives on social media? And are so triggered by someone showing what a petulant cult member you are, that instead of being, you know, a rational adult, you prove my point by showing not a blessed clue, you deplorable human being? Is this what Christianity shows you?
Sean, not for nothing, finds the ignorance and defense of illiteracy (especially of Christianity) reprehensible. Thus, clueless wonder, there is absolute value in granting you the opportunity, and your subsequent utter failure. You are not the center of the universe, because you choose to make baseless commentary, and then whine when you are made an object lesson. Again, why the hell would I take such a prime example of the failure of your cult, ie you, and NOT use you as an example of the failure of your myth/cult?
Now feel free to reply, or stop bitching if your foolishness is treated accordingly. Or, for the love of all that is holy, grow up and make a point or rebut mine.
Otherwise, shut up.
You have got the revelation of True CHRIST, Amen
What symbol does Rebecca wear on her neck? It is not a cross, but a symbol to remind her of her sin, but I missed what it is.
It's a sloth hanging from a tree branch. When she talks about it at minute 40, she pronounces the animal's name as something like "sleōth", and is ironically talking faster than her usual, which makes it easy to mistake for "slave" because she'd just been talking about slaves right before that.
@@_volder Thanks. I wonder why to her a sloth is more of a symbol than the cross. It is one of the 7 capital or deadly sins.
@@pweinbrenner The cross is a rather ludicrous symbol for Christianity, as it represents not the resurrection myth, but the martyr myth. It would seem that the right symbol for your cult would be an empty tomb. or a fish (which actually WAS the symbol of christianity back in the day).
what the cross represents is a victim class of people who ironically live the least Christi-ian life imaginable and cloak themselves in the myth. The person who denounced that? Jesus ("Lord, did we not do these things in your name, and I will say to them "get thee away from me evildoer!"")
Thank you, I totally agree with all those aspects of Jesus and is how I view Him. However, I believe there to be another aspect of Jesus that again could be viewed as uncomfortable but is nevertheless very important to recognise and that is…
Jesus the Judge!
Many people are not comfortable with the impending tribulation and judgements of Jesus.
To understand all the complexities of who Jesus is, is extremely important in our Christian walk and understanding of Gods ultimate plan of redemption and restoration.

Wow this was beautiful. Continue to bless this awesome woman. I cried at the section of Jesus is our lover…. how God will unite the new heaven and the new earth. The Christian marriage ❤ I praise God for marriage and what it actually represents. As a young adult I never believed in marriage and today it is because of my marriage I want to walk in holiness before my King Jesus. Lord let our marriages reflect your love, light in this world. Dress rehearsal of what is to come. The eternal Glory with our Bridegroom Jesus Christ. Halleluja
Really interesting interview. Thanks and may God bless both of you.
Years ago I was given the amazing privilege of speaking in our church once a month. We were working through the gospel of Mark. Our assignment was to pick one event in the chapter we were given and craft a sermon around it. All of my chapters had what I called “Mean Jesus”!“ He called people brood of vipers, he told a woman she was not worthy of a miracle, He accused the students of Scripture of NOT studying. He did all kinds of mean things! I did not like that at all! I wanted to preach “Nice Jesus”. However, you have to have both sides.
No, you don't if you throw out things in the Bible that didn't happen.Jesus never killed a tree because it didn't produce fruit out of season.
Jesus never called all Pharisees "vipers." That would have been judgment and he taught us to not judge.
Jesus never said, " Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
That would have been promoting fear instead of love. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."
The false prophesy from the OT is that Jesus came to rid us of our sin and guilt through sacrifice.
He came to teach us that forgiveness ends our guilt.
If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.
The story of Jesus and the storm on the lake has given me even more meaning after comparing it to the story of Jonah.
Just stories in an old book that says a thing. What inspires you in the Vedas or Quran? Maybe in the JW bible or Mormon little blue book? They also have stories that people find inspiring too.
The biggest misconception about Jesus is he returns twice. When the Lord returns the second time it's over. NO second chances, and no pre-trib rapture.
Chill, buddy!
@@davidjanbaz7728 I ran out of chill pills. Thank goodness I still have scripture. If you believe in a pre-trib rapture, then you deny what Jesus taught. In Lu 17:28-30 Jesus said the SAME DAY Lot (Represents believers) went out of the city, God destroyed THEM ALL. (Unbelievers) No one left behind Also, in Mt 13:30,37-43 Jesus says the end of the WORLD (Age) is the harvest (Rapture) NO one left behind according to Jesus.
Pre trib rapture is what many true Chriatian leaders and pastors believe. So if yours is the contrary, by all means endure the coming 666 reign. See you on the other side.
@@oliverjuria993 The bible says test every spirit. In Lu 17:28-30 Jesus says the SAME DAY Lot (Represents believers) went out of the city, God destroyed THEM ALL. (ALL unbelievers). THE SAME DAY. So, do you believe Jesus or your teachers? This is the point where most pre-tribers stop replying.
It’s not about what “most leaders or Christians believe” it’s about believing truth.
People can be sincerely lost!

Rebecca has said it all. She has added me a very huge theological education in answering and discussing the 9 confronting Jesus.
God bless you so much Sr Dr Rebecca for being a good (and through this online broadcast) you are an international Evangelist.
My cry and call is that, if you don't have started yet, CAN YOU PLEASE ESTABLISH A MASSIVE EVANGELISM OUTREACH globally especially to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to all non christian and muslims to the end of the world?
God has given you a very great talent to teach.
Well Jesus never wrote anything, before or after he rose from the dead so your not reading anything by Jesus. Your trust is in fallible humans writing decades later. With your earliest source (Paul) seeing no physical Jesus, nor did the men with him. Acts is not even written by Paul so it isn't actually him even reporting the experience he supposedly had. Paul doesn't even quote Jesus, so we know the gospels didn't even exist before Paul. Mark is your next source, which of course the ending was added to (Mark 16:9-20) it ends with the women being afraid and tell no one what the man within the tomb had said to them. A random man who you cannot even verify exists.
So nothing in the Bible can be trusted right? Why should I trust your conclusions?
LOL 😆 : you don't know if Jesus wrote anything or Not.
He wrote on the ground and listed the sins or the Law of those who wanted to stone the woman but let the man go in spite of what the Law states for 2 people caught in the VERY ACT of adultery.
And obviously a hallucination isn't going to literally blind Paul but an actual vision of Jesus at the Right hand of the Father's Glory would blind Paul.
I find your post to be just biased and incoherent.
How did you come to your conclusion that the (New Testament) writings were written decades (after Jesus's death)?
@@anthonybarber3872 It's not all or nothing. No writing should be trusted completely, right? It's useful for piecing together history, but not for trusting unconditionally. Do you agree?
