Christ is King ✝️

Some years ago I spoke at an evangelical-run Muslim-Christian Relations conference on the topic of persecution of Christians. As part of that event, I was put on a panel comprised of two muslims and two Christians, to provide Muslim (sunni ans shia) and Christian answers answers to a set of questions. The final question was: "Do Muslims and Christians believe in the same Jesus?" Being an expert apologist on the subject of Islam, the other Christian provided a brilliant intellectual response to conclude, "No." Both muslima then argued, "Yes." My words (which happened to be the final words of the night - if i remember correctly) were a recitation of the Nicaean Creed (re Jesus): "I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages ..." (etc , to the end of the long middle section, ending, "His kingdom will have no end."). It was a Holy Spirit thing in answer to prayer as I wasn't even aware I had memorised it! THEN I simply asked the Muslims on the panel: "This is the Jesus we believe in; is this the Jesus you believe in?" And all we could hear was the sound of grinding teeth. It was awesome ...got applause... thank-you Holy Spirit ... and thank-you all those pastors who got me to recite and hear the Nicaran Creed every Sunday for so many years. 🕊️

Speaking as an agnostic of the transcendent and supernatural, it seems to me that Christian church and community does have some moral cultural value for societal stability - whether or not church members actually believe in God. However I think resistance and mockery of Christianity is a response to its inherent outward evangelicalism - you preach in my face and I will ridicule your faith-based delusions in return. A further problem is the 'battle of the sects' which has been a feature of Christianity since the 1st century - despite creeds and canonization. There is also no doubt that attempts by sects to adapt and re-invent themselves and then fracture in the process (eg the Church of England), doesn't help the cause!

Perhaps THE defining shift in values, which occurred in my lifetime, flowed out of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement. Thinking or feeling that Jews or people of color were bad or inferior in some way became seen as the most mortal sin, the ultimate transgression against the good and true and beautiful. Thus conduct, formerly the arena in which good and evil expressed themselves and engaged in combat, receded in significance and deferred to thoughts and feelings as the ethical battleground. For example, the white guy who harbored, due to cultural conditioning, the idea that black people were inferior to whites, yet who would dive into a raging river in a heartbeat to save a drowning child of any color, was considered evil. And the person who thought and felt that all people were equal in every way, or at least claimed to so think and feel, was considered a good person without regard to whether he or she had the courage to risk his or her life to save a child. In a nutshell, virtue embodiment gave way to virtue signalling, and the upshot is the sorry state of society which now demoralizes the beat of us.

God made a few perfect heads, the rest He covered with hair. Some of us are becoming more perfect :)

Dumb

Great episode. Thanks for this Dave

Thankyou David. (From one fellow dual-citizen to another)

Hi David, Steve, Finally subscribed

Im not christian, but good quality convo from a smaller channel. I think ppl have realised that this "everything goes" culture the the boomer gen kicked off is a dead end. Humans are spiritual creatures in the end.

I appreciate where youre trying to come from but the reality is, one who is able to introspect and accept reality for what it is puts nothing but life above themselves. Everyone else puts their own interests first, a religious person will be good in hopes of a good afterlife or out of fear of cosmic punishment. A none religious person will try to use whats in reality and power, politics in this case, to try to alter the sociatal reaction to reality to their favour, see any protest ever. Now one who accepts reallity will participate in politics as they understand it influences their lives but doesnt live by the letter of the policies, for example a person who will happily speed to get someone to a hospital or risks their own life to help another while not believing in any god.

Trump is a child he lost

Thank you for your objectivity and pointing us to Jesus Christ, who alone is worthy of worship! Greetings from the States!

Yes

Codswallop!!!!!!!

I am a Christian and I will vote for him again.

I became a Trump supporter than a Christian. I don't understand why they're in the same category?

We need trump back Under trump We had Leadership,low inflation,low food and gas prices,average income rose in every single metro area for the first time in 31 years,lifted 7 million people off food stamps and into well paid jobs,Historic low unployment,funded black American college's and universitys,set up opportunity zones for poor communitys, First usa president to visit North Korea for peace talks,defeated isis in iraq and syria,moved the usa embassy to Jerusalem,first usa president to call out nato and received 400 billion dollars from allie country's that weren't paying their fair share,Rebuilt the military,started no wars, Passed into law right to try that gave terminally ill patients access to life saving medical treatment,lowered drug prices for the first time in 51 years,signed a 1 billion dollar increase in funding for critical alzheimers research, Built 450 miles of border wall that achieved low illegal migrant crossings, TRUMP 2024

Why should Christians vote for an unrepentant adulterer and dishonest businessman who only uses the Bible to make a buck or get votes?

Fantastic guys, keep it up. I look forward to watching your content every time that you release.

It's crazy to think that personality isn't really a factor in this upcoming election. Both Trump and Biden are deplorable enough that policy is the only thing to take into consideration.

Funny. The other guy claims to be Catholic but supports murdering the unborn.

Theologically (and politically) Tim Costello is not and never has been an evangelical in the anglophone sense of that term. The only way he can get away with such an outrageously false description of himself is because of the religious illiteracy of the Australian media, and Australians, in general.

Just proves the point that many american Christians are illinformed and incapable to discern facts from the news, have tinted biases and are willfully ignorant of how Trump ruled his presidency.

A christian? No... A US 'christian'? Well, sure.

Criticising Zionism (and which one? there are several) is not anti-Zionism much less anti-Semitism. I criticise my brothers and they criticise me not because we hate each other, but because we love each other. Similarly, I support Israel's right to exist, but I have problems with certain forms of Zionism on both the left and the right of the secular political spectrum, as well as with certain religious forms of Zionism, especially fundamentalist Protestant ones which shade off into a form of anti-Semitism that is particularly obnoxious. As to who killed Jesus? We did. All of us. humanity. And we'd do it again. In fact we do.

The jews ! Who else???

Come on "God killed Jesus"... seriously?! What a pile of sh... The Catholic Church teaching is very clear on this, so are the scriptures... Who sponsored this video?!!!

I've been pro-Israel for many years--would probably have considered myself a zionist for a time, thanks to Ben Shapiro. But being pro-life is more important to me. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians is not justifiable yet I see self-proclaimed "pro-life conservatives" doing exactly that. These same "pro-free-speech absolutists" have also reneged on that to censor in favor of ethno-religious immigrants who have disproportionate control in media, academia, law, business, finance, etc. But what nailed the coffin shut for me was being treated like an "anti-vaxer" or racist by the media for noticing. “His blood be upon us and upon our children.” -- ???

Wasn't it Judas who betrayed him to the Roman Empire? Just asking ...

By claiming that Israel is a ‘state of the Jews’ ….and than that colonial state is seen to be behaving as an apartheid state, arresting and slaughtering tens of thousands of children in the process…than some might mistakenly blame people of that religion for the crimes of the ‘state’, or the crimes of that state’s representatives(Netanyahu, etc..)

Disliking modern day Jews in Israel today because their ancestors from 2000 years ago were responsible for killing Jesus is absolutely antisemitism. It's basically the oldest form of it. In addition to that it's moronic, anti-civilizational, and pathetic.

You going to talk about antisemitism against Arabs?

Thank you for this very interesting discussion, espacaly the "who killed Jesus" part, and the answer from Acta and Ps 2. Greetings from Austria to Australia :)

Fixing the 'dislikes' counter? lol How typically dishonest you Christians are.

Antisemitism is simply the ability to recognize the enemies of humanity. Also, I think that as religion loosens its grip on those capable of critical thought, more of us realize that Christians are simply 2nd class Jews and are in the business of serving Judaism as slaves, providing cannon-fodder for the wars engineered by Jews and dedicated to bringing about Jewish prophecy. Those who worship Allah are Muslims; those who worship Shiva are Hindus; those who worship Buddha are Buddhists and those who worship Yahweh, God of War, are Jews. 'Christians' worship Yahweh.

A stranger won't understand, and neither will someone who isn't Jewish. I'm very sorry.

Who killed Jesus? The Romans at the request of a Jewish crowd.

Jews are fighting against attackdog 🐕 of WASP Christianism. WASP CHRISTIANISM using it another attack dog 🐕 WOKEISM to justify attack on Jew

Property dispute between grandpa Jew and grandson Islamism ,father Christianism laughing 😆 all the way to bank.WASP CHRISTIANISM especially Father Christianism and grandson Islamism both hate grandpa Jew Grandson Islamism hate Christianism and Jew both

Okaaay, seems like these two commentators confuse being anti-Israeli government, with antisemitism. Russia was also banned in 2022 after the Ukraine invasion. Is that now also Anti-Russian racism? And a song solely focusing on October 7th, while the Israeli leadership is being prosecuted by the ICC for deliberately starving the Gaza population as a weapon of war, could really be seen as being propaganda.

Root cause of Jewish hatred is Quran and bible ,speak truth mate don’t go around bush

Anti Zionism is not antisemitism.

How dare you call yourself Christian, but yet support an anti-Christian Ethno Facsist State?

Controlled oposition here, or just useful idiots for The New Word Order/British Empire.

Apostates as declared, as such. Protestants, how disgusting to reject big (T) tradition.
