Not a Christian, but Johnny really impressed me. I'd love to have a conversation with him. There are definitely people on both sides I was not a fan of, but i enjoyed this episode.

It's a common error that people say the Bible says not to judge. The Bible says do not judge lest ye be judged but it also says in John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
"You shall know them by their fruit." This verse as well establishes a command to judge. Yes, the Bible does not say not to judge, but rather; check yourself and make sure you are not being hypocritical when you do judge.

I love Johnny , very calm , knowledgeable and collected. He wasn’t scared to support his opinions and didn’t back down about his beliefs. My favourite person on this episode. 💞

@@victorvargas9330I believe what he was saying is that faith was the pill to the "sin virus". If you believe in the Bible then yea, it makes sense because of how Revelations is; you either get the mark or you don't.

I think it showed they were narrow minded and believed they already had the truth. Few things will keep you from reaching the truth than thinking you already have it.
@@switzerlandful None of them think they have the truth though....seems like pretty much all of them were agnostics so they simply don't know which is a much better answer than some douches telling you what's in their "magical" book that has done nothing to help them their entire lives.
i got emotional about how amicable and comforting this discussion was. this was such a raw, human moment. you can tell that everyone cares about one another
This verse popped in my head while watching this Matthew 7:6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces”.
I absolutely agree! He embodies his love and passion for Christ. Nothing frustrates me more than watching a group of “Christians” argue about The Lord and faith.
These are great conversations. We see why sin has separated so many from Christ and it’s important that true believers meet non believers where they are to understand their hurt/confusion/pain etc. so that they can have true healing in Christ. Grace and patience must be heavily equipped when these conversations take place. I pray for those that are broken from within and I pray that the Lord encounters them to have a relationship with Him.
@@abstract0407I hope you're not saying nonbelievers are to lazy to read the bible. I know most Atheists, especially ones that use to be religious, including myself, who know more of the bible than those that claim too be Christians. It's because of reading the bible, being in bible classes, Catechism, etc that I came to the realization that I don't believe it's real. Many Atheists like me that were formerly believers have the same experiences.
Something that bothers me a lot when I listen to conversations like these is that the Christian’s never interrupt the non Christian’s, and are called hateful and rude, while non Christian’s almost never let the Christian’s get through their whole point. They’re always interrupted
I appreciate that Johnny explains his points using metaphors, it really shows that he is thoughtful about the ideas he is trying to get across and he cares about other’s being able to understand it
@@WolvesHart79I think what he or she meant is that "spirits" like demons or satan. Because the real battle is in spirit, spiritual realm and not in the physical.
Johnny is so strong and rooted in his faith I love hearing him speak . I also love open conversations like this . We should all be able to sit down and talk with people and listen to each other respectfully we can all be friends and learn from each other
As someone who was raised, eastern orthodox, I would love to see a conversation Between Orthodox Christians and more modern/ progressive Christian churches. It’s crazy how different unique denominations of the same religion are from one another. I think it would make for a great discussion. See what kind of middle ground they come too.
I'm 18 minutes in and I absolutely love this episode. It's a challenging and complex topic, but the questions are critical and inspire great dialogue and the participants are all open and sharing with one another with such honesty and grace. Beautiful to see.
He seems sweet but he also seems to follow the world and not the word. I’m not saying him being gay is awful, but him doing onlyfans and going to clubs is. He seems to pick and choose what he wants. We call that “fire insurance”.
Johnny didn't stand up for Kytia. There are those that understand, and there are those that practice. And then there are those that only take pride in their intellect, like Jason.

@@godlessveteran2431 that’s not how it works, there’s a very clear and historical distinction of what a Christian should be, sure you can interpret things however you want but there is a proper interpretation plain and simple
Im not so sure about skylights advertisement on a video of this style but... Thank you greatly for this video - the Johnny gentleman was great, as they ALL were of course.
Truly, Truly. When he says that alone I gravitated towards that chapter so much. It's like from the past he's continuing to say "I will not lie to you: love me as I love you."
everyone talking about Johnny, but I loved how openhearted and honest Mel was. despite being ex-atheist, now Christian myself, I could see myself in her, and relate to a lot she was saying
Here I am waiting to hear Johnny speak. 😭 But I also loved how he avoided cutting people. He shows so much respect, patience, and wisdom for the few moments he spoke.
Jake is not saved. When we practice sin, our conscious becomes seared with a hot iron. Over time, we become deaf to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. I pray for every one of these non-believers. These people are not biblically literate. I pray they truly seek the Lord with fear and humility. He will meet them! I pray the Enemy wins no more!
just watched this and was really inspired by Johnny. He has so much discernment that he knew when to listen and when to speak, he did not argue or push to answer.
16:50. He said we’re not allowed to judge. We’re called to righteous judgment. We’re called to correct our brothers and sisters in Christ. But the judgement we place on others will be placed on us as well. Ref- Matthew 7:1-5 and John 7:24
Love Jake and Johnny. Their souls seem so genuine. They always spoke from a place of understanding and no judgement. Thats difficult to find in any person or religion.
U guys always praise the non Christians or the Christian that lives in sin cuz u all madddd the other Christians are being FOR REAL ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. Mel said we can't base our religion on the bible. WHAT ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSE TO BASE IT ON? ON OURSELF?? BFR
@@lovelyvanelle6052 cuz the less religious are generally more kind,empathic, and understanding. they dont let an ancient booktell them how to feel while ignoring how it effects other humans.theres a reaosn the mostly atheist Scandinavia is thebest place to live. its not a coincidence hardcore religious ppl have issues with others that arent even always issues but they think care cuz their religious book said so. your response isonly proving my point. ppl who dont blindly do everything their book tells them to do are better people.
> "I'll admit: I still am ignorant of the bible; It's only been like maybe _seven years_ for me." - Jake [Christian] "I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready" - 1 Cor: 3:2 Put another way: "I'll admit: I still am ignorant of my best friend; It's only been like maybe seven years for me." Knowing OF Christ is not the same as KNOWING Christ. This is not a condemnation, but a call to grow in him (as a fellow christian), and the primary way we do that is by spending time with him in his word. Get in there daily!
So happy to see Johnny on here after seeing his life story on Soft White Underbelly ❤ he is so soft spoken and articulates his views so clearly! He’s so relatable for me❤
I knew I recognized him from somewhere. Thank you for bringing that up. I have seen the video suggested but never clicked on his story to watch. Definitely watching his video after this now
This was genuinely one of your guys' best episodes. What a great bunch of people, all willing to debate their point and defend their values but at the same time respecting those on the other side, and even on the same side, that they disagree with.
Most atheists can do the same. A lot of us studied a lot because we were frustrated we couldn't find any rationality in scripture. Learning it creates a reciprocal trend where the more we learn the less we believe.
Not trying to debase this, but I think a lot of Christians can cite scripture but can't like...explain it. I'm not a Christian anymore, but there are key passages that were engrained in my brain from childhood that I was told to repeat so many times that I'll never unlearn them. 1 Peter 3:15 and John 3:16 are like the pledge of allegiance... churchfolk all know it and it's not particularly impressive that we can rote memorize and recite it.
It would be interesting to see Buddhists vs Ex Buddhists interact. There is just such a different context versus Abrahamic religions and I think it would be interesting
Johnny was so calm and patient. When he spoke he made his presence felt. Everything he said made sense. You could definitely tell he knew what he was talking about.
Johnny is a true OG. He is a real dude. He I can tell is kind of becoming irritated by how the conversation wasn't about what he signed up for. He thought this was Christians vs ex Christians it was nothing but the gay community vs christians.
I agree, I wish it would have also been more straight ex-Christians. It kind of make it seem like they may have turned ex-Christian because they are LGBTQIA
I would say that the reason they are ex-Christian’s are BECAUSE they are gay. Most people who leave the church are lgbtq people. So it’s not exactly a shocker to see that all of them are gay. Like this shouldn’t be new news that the church hurts many gay people and that’s why they leave.
@@dicerosautismambient4894most these people can’t even explain why they believe what the believe the Christian’s and the non Christian’s. I wish they let Johnny talk more.
This is one of the finest episodes, it's so free of toxic emotions and the conversation is so pure and wholesome! Everybody is so respectful and honest I love this one, especially compared to every single other jubilee ep I've seen! Great job everyone!!!
Hey there, Kelli (purple shirt) here. It was actually such a lovely conversation, I thought every one was really trying to listen to the other side, even when we were irritated. It was an amazing experience.
@@2ndPigeon I’m not saying they aren’t a sin. I’m just giving you the reason why he got them. He probably is still learning the Bible. We all have our journeys.
Kealii thank you for sharing and sorry for your lost. Know that you were an Angel and blessing to them. You shared gods love to them. Favor will come your way. Prayers to you and the entire cast.
It's interesting how a lot of people don't understand that the reason Christians use long examples. is due to the fact people misunderstand what they say. And that there are those who don't understand or get it straight away when you give a straight answer. but half the time is to not to offend them.
We atheists aren’t interested in your life story (stories are just useless anecdotes.) We just want science or logical arguments, and Christians have none. Not only that, but a lot of Christians have a condescending tone when talking about what’s in your “heart” or the best way to live.
I noticed that too. I think it indicated a lack of objectivity and genuine curiosity in the group. Thinking you already have the truth can be one of the biggest hindrances to getting it. Everyone starts out ignorant but those who won't listen/observe will remain that way. Since he was interrupted, they'll likely never know what he *was* going to say and therefore won't know if it was worth hearing.
This episode really encouraged me (as a talker) to really be intentional and slow to speak, because there were so many interruptions and some that dominated this conversation, but it didn’t mean that they had something better to say.
Well they feel the need to be inclusive which is fine, I also couldn't help at least notice what the non Christians were wearing, a bit strange may I say but besides from that point I really feel like that young woman just hasn't had anyone really talk to her deeply about it because she definitely believes just has a mental roadblock to it
@@Fly_Slo She never took the initiative to actually learn about her religion. Her parents were super religious and made her go to church but she never cared to learn about her religion.

@@victorvargas9330 he was comparing sin to a virus, and since homosexuality is considered a sin that’s how he was explaining it. Basically whatever is in your environment affects you. And if it’s a sinful nature you will continue to repeat those sins. BTW I’m just explaining what he said since you twisted his words.
so glad the fruits of the spirit were displayed in this video! prayerfully other individuals can recognize that not all christians are the harsher people that they have experienced in their lives.

The Christian and the Atheist can coexist peacefully.

Not a Christian, but Johnny really impressed me. I'd love to have a conversation with him. There are definitely people on both sides I was not a fan of, but i enjoyed this episode.
I know the lady in yellow may not of sugar-coated anything, but she has real emotion and love behind what she's saying.
It's better to be blunt and frank rather than make what you're saying more palatable, and telling people just what they want to hear.

It's a common error that people say the Bible says not to judge. The Bible says do not judge lest ye be judged but it also says in John 7:24
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
"You shall know them by their fruit." This verse as well establishes a command to judge. Yes, the Bible does not say not to judge, but rather; check yourself and make sure you are not being hypocritical when you do judge.

Yeah, funny how he was the only one like that who showed traits that are very much associated with Buddhists... Oh, wait...
I absolutely agree! He embodies his love and passion for Christ. Nothing frustrates me more than watching a group of “Christians” argue about The Lord and faith.
These are great conversations. We see why sin has separated so many from Christ and it’s important that true believers meet non believers where they are to understand their hurt/confusion/pain etc. so that they can have true healing in Christ. Grace and patience must be heavily equipped when these conversations take place. I pray for those that are broken from within and I pray that the Lord encounters them to have a relationship with Him.
They're a bit lazy to study 📖 the Bible
@ facts. And we pray for reading endurance for them so they can receive the word for its truth.
@@abstract0407I hope you're not saying nonbelievers are to lazy to read the bible. I know most Atheists, especially ones that use to be religious, including myself, who know more of the bible than those that claim too be Christians. It's because of reading the bible, being in bible classes, Catechism, etc that I came to the realization that I don't believe it's real. Many Atheists like me that were formerly believers have the same experiences.
Something that bothers me a lot when I listen to conversations like these is that the Christian’s never interrupt the non Christian’s, and are called hateful and rude, while non Christian’s almost never let the Christian’s get through their whole point. They’re always interrupted

I know everyone is talking about Johnny but I just loved Jake so much, such a kind and loving soul.
Hopefully he starts following the word
He seems sweet but he also seems to follow the world and not the word. I’m not saying him being gay is awful, but him doing onlyfans and going to clubs is. He seems to pick and choose what he wants. We call that “fire insurance”.

@@kerrimarie33 What difference does it make. How is going to clubs worse than being gay?
Jake seems awesome, but he admitted, on camera, that he's living a double life.

Because he was a Buddhist first.
You know what I think you're on to something
I'm an former Catholic turned atheist, I'm OK with anyone holding religious beliefs just as long as they don't force them onto others through politics

The definition of “force” varies greatly depending on the person. For some‚ expressing ourselves as religious is already too much.
You mean like baptist and Gay people do to everyone?
And unfortunately, many people do.
My sentiment exactly!
Johnny understands true Christianity, it’s sad that the ex Christians had such poor examples of Christianity growing up.
Johnny didn't stand up for Kytia. There are those that understand, and there are those that practice. And then there are those that only take pride in their intellect, like Jason.

Jake is not saved. When we practice sin, our conscious becomes seared with a hot iron. Over time, we become deaf to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit.

Put another way: "I'll admit: I still am ignorant of my best friend; It's only been like maybe seven years for me."
Knowing OF Christ is not the same as KNOWING Christ. This is not a condemnation, but a call to grow in him (as a fellow christian), and the primary way we do that is by spending time with him in his word. Get in there daily!

I love how Johnny can cite scripture off the top of his head. Goals! This was a great discussion.
@Eli_Muwahhidhave you?
@Eli_Muwahhidno one cares
Most atheists can do the same. A lot of us studied a lot because we were frustrated we couldn't find any rationality in scripture. Learning it creates a reciprocal trend where the more we learn the less we believe.
Not trying to debase this, but I think a lot of Christians can cite scripture but can't like...explain it. I'm not a Christian anymore, but there are key passages that were engrained in my brain from childhood that I was told to repeat so many times that I'll never unlearn them. 1 Peter 3:15 and John 3:16 are like the pledge of allegiance... churchfolk all know it and it's not particularly impressive that we can rote memorize and recite it.
@Eli_Muwahhid bc the bible is longer than the quan so of course its easier to remember.

Since he was interrupted, they'll likely never know what he *was* going to say and therefore won't know if it was worth hearing.
This episode really encouraged me (as a talker) to really be intentional and slow to speak, because there were so many interruptions and some that dominated this conversation, but it didn’t mean that they had something better to say.

Equating homosexuality with viral/bacterial infections was/is absolutely disgusting.
@@victorvargas9330 he was comparing sin to a virus, and since homosexuality is considered a sin that’s how he was explaining it. Basically whatever is in your environment affects you. And if it’s a sinful nature you will continue to repeat those sins. BTW I’m just explaining what he said since you twisted his words.
so glad the fruits of the spirit were displayed in this video! prayerfully other individuals can recognize that not all christians are the harsher people that they have experienced in their lives.
How could you not fall in love with Jake. He was so sweet and compassionate and open.
Yes! He’s my favorite
id trust him with my drink fr
He was a absolute pleasure to listen to 😍😍
I agree! His energy is very positive and open and if every Christian was like this, then maybe I wouldn’t have such a weird attitude towards the organized religion Christianity
@@emmagriffiths1543 I thought the same thing - he might be the only Christian I’ve ever liked !!
Every time Jake spoke, it made me smile. He seems like such a sweet person!
That's because he's hot. If he were ugly, you wouldn't think of him twice.
@@Kyoukichiyou have a lot of bitterness in your heart
A very mad christian you are@@Kyoukichi
@@Kyoukichi He seems genuine
@@amirrichaun Never said he didn't seem genuine. The comment doesn't seem to be.
Jason’s little apology at the end healed something in me as an ex Christian
You Christian now bro?
You Christian now bro?
Art thy Christian now, brethren?
Bro are you Christian again ?!😮
How’s it going, friend
Also, i don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
When Ivan went to check on her at the end made my day to see him caring for her even if they disagree throughout the the video
This was by far my favourite middle ground video ever. It was amazing to see the perspective from both sides and experience this moving conversation.
Johnny's testimony gave me so much understanding when i thought I had it figured out everyone must watch it!! He is blessed fr❤
Kytia is 100% correct. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship.
Amen
Amen
So I'm assuming you would be completely okay with Christianity losing its tax exempt status and constitutional religious protections then.
The word Christianity quite literally refers to a religion
It’s a religion with a relationship. James 1
