Bio: Ruslan KD is a Christian RUclipsr of Armenian descent who was a refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan, before moving to the United States as a child. He started his RUclips channel in the mid-2010s, which has since grown into a popular platform for discussing faith, lifestyle, and music. Known for his insightful commentary on Christian living, culture, and personal development, Ruslan has built a community of followers who value his thoughtful approach to contemporary issues. In addition to his RUclips presence, Ruslan is a speaker, author, and advocate for godly ambition, often addressing topics related to leadership, mental health, and the integration of faith in everyday life.
Our mission is to encourage, empower, and inspire people to live a life that Blesses God, in accordance with His word. As the Psalmist proclaims, "Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O you who are of Israel's fountain" (Psalm 68:26 ESV), and "Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name forever and ever" (Psalm 145:2 KJV). Just as Simeon, after encountering Jesus, "took him up in his arms and blessed God" (Luke 2:28 ESV), we seek to lead others in a life of stewardship, relevant engagement, and practical living that honors and blesses the Lord.

Just wanted to share this with you and hope it inspires you in some way 🙏🏽
Honesty I didn’t write this the Holy Spirit did through me 😂🙏🏽🙌🏽
My testimony how I found God when I stopped going to church. ⛪️
Some of us are meant to be alone with God, to know Him and be taught by Him and Him alone.
Not to rely on a pastor, to be taught by God himself!
Don’t get me wrong, nothing better than finding a good spirit filled church, but they are growing fewer and fewer in these end times. The enemies attacks on the body of Christ are stronger now more than ever! Only the strong in Christ are going to be left standing against the plans of the enemy to destroy every last Christian! The closer I get to God, the more I’ve had to unlearn what I’ve been taught in church! God wants to teach you the Bible Himself, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance to tell you what His word means for you! To show you the plans He has for your life. We are all handmade by God for a specific purpose and He wants to teach you Himself what that purpose is! So that you may walk and live in the fullness of your God-given purpose and specific design planned and made just for you. That no one else created can do, but you! 📖
It’s about fully surrendering and giving your will to the Lord. Die of yourself, your flesh and this world. Live only for God and his will and purpose for your life. We are not made whole in this life if we are not living out the purpose we are specifically made for by God to do.🙇🏻♀️
You can go to church your whole life and still find yourself locked out of the gates of heaven. To stay on the narrow path that leads to the gates, you have to deny yourself, pick up your cross, never looking right nor left nor behind only straightforward. KEEPING YOUR EYES ON JESUS! ✝️
He is looking for people after his own heart, like David! To set the captives free with telling people the heart of our salvation!❤️
Jesus died on the cross for our sins so the veil could be torn and that we could have communion with the Father and be filled with the Holy Spirit!🕊
The closer I get to God, He’s show me what I have always known to be true with my whole heart!💜
Matthew 19:26 KJV
26 But Jesus be held them, and said unto them, with man this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
AMEN
It's real simple: under Christianity, Ben Shapiro will burn in eternal hell (😅). Under Judeo-Christian politics, Ben can push his God of capitalism.
John 8:42-44
Those that reject Jesus will manifest bad fruits and will suffer eternity
Do you have a Rumble?
Russell Brand will one day be a strong voice and defender of Christians. He will become one himself one day as well. He has come along way.
I truly hope that's a prophecy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's interesting, I thought he was a christian. He has a tattoo on his right arm that looks like Jesus on the cross.
@@jacintatate he’s into the new age. They like Jesus, but they conflate Him with buddha and the like.
He’s deep into new age deception but hopefully the scales will fall off his eyes one day.
@@Vern_Levine yes! I pray for him frequently!
Yes the feeling of that transcendent moment may fade; but it doesn’t negate the fact that that moment happened and you will never be the same!!
Pray for Ben, I know he has a lot of respect for Christians and he knows the difference.
The Talmud says that gentiles are lower than animals & that Jesus was a sorcerer who now boils in a pot of feces in hell. Ben believes this & he doesn't respect you or your faith.
I wonder what the ghosted reply said.
Nah. Ben dislikes Christians greatly.
Jews do not like Christians. Even if they're cordial, they look down upon all gentiles, especially Christians.
@@Beyrouth_ How do you know that?
As a Jewish believer and in Jesus, I would say you’re spot on brother.
If Jesus had come and destroyed the Romans would the Jewish people have considered Him the coming Messiah?
@@williamgullett5911 Maybe. The biggest point of contention with Jesus (and others who claimed to be the Messiah) is that he didn't usher in a Messianic age.
@Zach B. What would a Messianic age have consisted of?
@@williamgullett5911 A blissful utopia where all dead rise from the grave, no disease or poverty, universal peace and harmony. When I imagine it in my mind, I think it would be a lot like Montana. But with better restaurants.
@@zachb.6606 what you describe is what Christians think will happen when Jesus returns.
Keep praying for Ben and Russell. Excellent teaching, Ruslan! One important thing, Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness. It was his believing, not his doing.
Faith without works is dead. Your faith in Christ is seen in your doing. Don’t just be hearers of the word rather doers.
@@COOful3 amen...true believers will be doers.
@mdcxi I'd rather have them come to Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins and be made whole.
In James 2:26 we read, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
Context is key: in the immediate context of Romans 4:3 and 22, Paul uses the statement about Abraham, in Genesis, to ask the question, “How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised?” Abraham was not told to be circumcised until Genesis 17:9. Paul’s point is that Abraham was accounted as righteous before the law of Moses - or even the law of circumcision - was even given. **Just as Abraham could be righteous apart from the works of the law, so could the Gentile Christians of Paul’s day**. For that matter, so could the Hebrew Christians. The standard for righteousness was no longer the law of Moses, but the law of Christ (Romans 1:16; Galatians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 9:21). Thus, to use Paul’s reference to “works” in Romans 2-11 as having a universal application to all works is to disregard the context - the bible must be taken as a whole, not picked over for single verses
@@B16pal this is directed to Ben's idea that, "you do the thing (follow the commands) and by doing the things you cultivate virtue." No, that is not how virtue is cultivated in the old or new testament.
I may not be Christian but as someone who grew up in christianity. Ive seen the BS hate being spewed lately towards Christians and I just want to say even though we disagree on some things I love all of you ♥✌🏼🌈 🌎
Sometimes Christians ask for the hate. In general, they are a good defense against shitlib ideology, and thats fine, but in other times they are retards that say things like “Ben hate’s Christians because he thinks Jesus was not God!”
I so appreciate your comment. I am a Christian, and we are getting a lot of hate nowadays. Many of us strive to be like Jesus and serve others. I have gay friends, among others, and am so worn down by the constant hate running rampant in our world today. Hate never fixes hate. Bless you, friend.
I am a pronomian Christian.
@@randymlekush754 hatred is an emotion, just like any other. Just like any other emotion it can be good or bad dependonf on its appropriateness. Sometimes it is appropriate to hate, just like sometimes it is inappropriate to exude happiness. Its naive to just think “happiness/pleasure = good and hate/anger = bad”. Thats called hedonism.
Come back Brother/Sister
Both Ben and Russell need to know this stuff...especially Russell who I believe is in the new age but seems to be looking for truth
Russell for me is on the wrong side, he will come through all he has to is Ask.
So both are in the luciferian magic world. Not surprised…
@@redmcclaff i was Christian up until the 7th grade. Depression hit me like a truck, I called and prayed for help, knocked, asked. Finally, having got no answer despite being told in the Bible that I would, I realized my concept or understanding of God must be wrong and renounced Christianity in that moment. I have much respect and appreciation for Christians and would rather marry one or be stuck on a desert island with one rather than an atheist but to call myself Christian, for anyone to do that, is very odd to me. Better to let others determine call your conduct for what it is.
@@sayerslayer1854 So what are you now?
@@sayerslayer1854 I was plagued for years with severe depression. After I became a born again Christian I began to struggle again. I knew enough to believe that it was not the "normal Christian life" to be like that. I pleaded with God for help for months. I kept reading my bible and crying out to Him. I could never turn back, because Jesus had truly changed my life. One day as I was reading my bible a verse popped out to me, very clearly. It caused me to reflect on my thought life, and then repentance and spiritual warfare, along with not living by my emotions, thoughts and feelings. That same day I experienced a huge deliverance from depression and suicidal thoughts, as I repented and brought my thoughts into subjection instead of letting them run me. God didn't do a magic thing for me, because He wanted to teach me a whole lot of better stuff through my questions and my seeking patient faith. If God just zapped us miraculously in every difficulty we would not learn much. We have to learn to walk things out and be trained by Him. Sorry you lost your faith. He is incredibly real and good and faithful and there is no reason to live in depression if you know Jesus and follow Him.
This is why our minds need to be renewed daily by reading the Word, amen
And/or pray, talking with God, journaling praise and thanksgiving, watching teachings, etc.
to confirm your own ideas??
Couldn’t have said it better
Which word do we follow?? The Bible words were written way before the Bible was invented. So do we follow the words before the Bible??
One of the biggest differences I see repeatedly with most conservatives, and displayed regularly on RUclips, in contrast to many liberal leaning influencers is the ability to have varying opinions without shouting one another down or shaming others when there’s a disagreement. It’s refreshing to hear an actual conversation while still holding strong to their personal beliefs.
This is a discussion between a Jewish person and an atheist. It would have been more interesting if it were Ben Shapiro having a discussion with maybe Matt Walsh or Dr. Frank Turek.
@@harryrob8221 Brand is not an atheist as far as I know.
These two are a great example of non-Christians behaving like WE should. Russell and Ben don't have the full grasp of Christianity, though, since they aren't believers. Their grasp of our doctrine is a bit off.
Like Richard Dawkins and Laurence Kraus...they're great to listen to...although..I don't agree that you must choose EITHER the big bang OR evolution..God created BOTH, that was the plan all along, its that clever.
Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness we believe Jesus and when we eat his flesh and drink his blood we are granted eternal life believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved
Amen, good analysis! Let's pray for both Russell and Ben! I love both of them, and they are doing good things but I pray that they will be born again soon!
Perhaps God keeps jews around for the sake of christians. The roots of the tree are accessible.
Sick of those Satanists talking about Christianity to push their agenda
Ben will never convert to Christianity, I am pretty sure of that. He has respect for Christians though, I do believe.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
AMEN to that
Anyone who has wholeheartedly sat down and studied the Word vigorously knows this to be true.
Meaningless gibberish.
@@LePageChannel have you ever wondered why you are so against the saving Grace of Jesus Christ?
@@backasswards5250
No, I don't wonder. I'm also against make belief in Santa Claus, political promises and all the other scams.
Ben doesn't read the scripture. He follows rabbinical tradition. As Hosea 6:6 states,
“I don’t want your sacrifices-I want your love; I don’t want your offerings-I want you to know me.
Bingo!
Yeah, fun fact; Jewish children are forced to read the Talmud first before the actual OT/Torah. Seems kinda sus since the Talmud is literally a separate book that are the so-called interpretations of the Torah by Rabbi's, which obviously seek to remove Jesus as the Messiah. And if you read the Talmud first, your brain is going to involuntarily look for the patterns you just read about from it, in the Torah, and kinda blinds them to the obvious truth that Jesus is the one that is prophecied.
I love Israel and Jews but I can see where they are either completely ignorant of Christianity or dishonest for selfish reasons. Modern day Kabballah and certain other Judaic practices are practically occult and heavily relate to ancient "Christian Gnosticism" and esotericism which is a total oxymoron because there's no such thing as a Christian Gnostic, they completely molested biblical theology, practice the occult, and removed Jesus. Kinda sus that they don't accept Christianity except for the ones that deny Christ lol
While talking to John MacArthur (Or William Craig I can't remember), Ben said something to effect of "I don't particularly put all my trust in documentation from 1000s of years ago" after hearing about actual Roman accounts of them seeing Jesus come back to life, and having NO idea what to do about it because, well what the heck do you do when a man comes back to life, actually? It was even bizarre for the imaginative pagans who speak of their gods' resurrecting and stuff all the time. And it's like "Hold on, Ben, did you just poop on your own shoe?"
If he doesn't particularly put all his trust in ancient documents, WHY DOES HE PRACTICE JUDAISM?
He literally destroyed his own faith with that.
It's quite hilarious
I need to read the Bible more lol
@@xBurzurkurxNope. Not sure where you got this information about Jewish education from, but this is just not true.
I can tell you from firsthand experience that Jewish children in the Orthodox communities learn the תורה שבכתב (or the written Torah, in English) before the Talmud. And we learn it in the original Hebrew.
The Mishna was written published in 200 CE, and the Gemara in approx 400 CE. They are writings on our oral law that was handed down to us at Sinai. It was intended to be passed down by word of mouth, but after the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE, when leadership feared that this knowledge would be lost in exile, Rabbinic leadership began to record notes on the oral law to preserve its transmission.
The work is intentionally difficult to decipher without guidance, because this oral law was meant to be taught on an individual level. Parts of it are also written in code and/or obscure language because the message would been seen as treasonous or incited religious persecution.
If you want to know more about our beliefs, please feel free to ask. No need to call us ignorant, selfish or dishonest.
I love the way they are discussing things instead of talking over each other.
I'm so thankful that God drives me to do what's pleasing to Him & that I don't have to rely on my ability to do what's right like many other religions. Thank the Lord for His Holy Spirit 🙏💜
Faith without works is dead. I’ll show my faith by my works. Says Paul
I believe it was James who said that, not Paul.
You got to site it my man.
"Jews do what's in front of them, then they believe". Jesus has been in front of Ben for a long time. He is a rejector.
Its the same case with Christians😁 Everything is in front of them but they pretend to be blind,
@@tex867 Isaiah 42:18 - Israel Blind and Deaf
“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see!
Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the Lord? You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen.”
Sounds like you may be Jewish. I didn't say the Jews are blind, God did.
@@tex867road elaborate
Yes. He needs Jesus
How is Jesus in front of anybody?
It was a truly beautiful conversation, as a Christian I appreciate Ben's honesty and respect for Christians and he is correct about some Christians ( the backwards argument) but not the religion/ belief as a whole
I mean Christians can hardly agree on anything beyond Christ since they are so fragmented and constantly reinterpreting things differently. It’s more an umbrella than specific religion in a sense
Great break down in a very simplistic yet powerful way. To think I had to write a 4 to 5 page paper in Seminary on what you shared in a couple of minutes. Great job
In figuring out a way to explain how I felt when The Lord saved me, I read that passage, God will fill me up with water that gives life.. that’s exactly how I felt! Like a cup being filled with water except I was being filled from top to bottom, and I immediately understood the heaviness of my sins were removed and I couldn’t stop repenting, I felt so much shame. From there I was able to read and actually understand the bible. It is true, I was blind but now I see! Praise God!🥹💕
One of the wonderful aspects of Christianity is that we are motivated by love to do good works. Where as every other religion is motivated by law to do good works. I am motivated by the law to pay my taxes in doing so I pay an expert to help me pay the least amount possible without breaking the law. Compare this to when I buy my daughter a birthday gift I am motivated by love and will search for the best gift, no matter the cost. In the same way those motivated to serve God out of law will often ask what do I have to do in order to please God. Where as Christians who understand that God loves us deeply even knowing our worst sin, are drawn to God by His love. Out of this love for God we as Christians do all that we can to spread this wonderful news of God's great love for sinners.
Russel Brand isn't "chasing butterflies" by having side dialogue during a discussion. Keeping a deep conversation lighthearted when you know your audience isn't necessarily coming from a religious background is important in getting the message across sometimes.
Good point. “Before you go into higher ground, you need find common ground”
I think he chases butterflies in every convo he has lol
@@RuslanKD i instant felt like he needs to chill and let Ben rock
Hard to have a common ground when your basic world views are pretty much opposites.
@@christisgreaterthanculture9255 Yet they continuously found some
Ben is being honest in his assessment of the messaging of modern "pop Christianity" media. That fixation on achieving that temporary transcendent feeling that so many people are so desperate to experience over and over again. He's heard the loudest voices in the crowd.
Yup, as a christian I hear and kinda agree with Ben's 'criticism'. Cause that's what it is, and he's kinda right. So many people die, waiting for salvation. Where they should've and could've focussed on doing good. This focus on rebirth/salvation/transformation is a huge, huge mistake. Paul-like God-inventions are rare, and waiting for them is dangerous. Change rarely is radical. Change comes from hard work.
These two are a great example of non-Christians behaving like WE should. Russell and Ben don't have the full grasp of Christianity, though, since they aren't believers. Their grasp of our doctrine is a bit off.
Perfectly said. PRAYING Ben hears this! Love your work Ruslan 😀
BTW, I am not saying every teacher in the new age movement is a peddler of NWO thinking. There are those in the new age movement who are part of some 'genuine' useful knowledge regarding human spiritual understanding too.
Shapiro has heard this from many preachers. Some of the best. "he who has ears to hear, let him hear"
Shapiro worships his Gd, Who is the Creator just as He Commanded and he rightly rejects Christianity just as he rejects Hinduism, as they are religions of foreigners that are Abominations to his Gd, Who delivered His People out of Egypt and out the Bondage of Slavery.
As Jeremiah prophesied, the Gentiles will come to see that they have inherited only Lies, Emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail.
@mark, Maybe there's a valid reason for Ben to continue pressing this point, eventho he's heard this from a lot of preachers. He's probably heard a lot of rabbi's too... And @Paula, what...? What does that prophecy have to do with the subject of this video? Do you mean Ben with ''the Gentiles''? Because he's not a gentile. Be careful with quoting biblical texts, because miss-using them causes more harm than good. Randomly quoting the bible will not earn you salvation. But maybe I misunderstand, so please, explain what you mean by quoting this prophecy.
Thank you so much .. I have been struggling with my beliefs .. this short video has explained so much to me .. thank you again for helping me to confirm my FAITH 😇
When your faith is waivers read John chapter 1 🙏
I’m sure the formation and collection of books that is the Bible is a miracle, just so much heavenly wisdom from the Lord our God, there is nothing else written that might compare to it
This 4 month old clip showed up on my feed today. It is twice this morning that the passage from Jeremiah referencing a stony heart has come up for me. I am going to read that passage today to see what meaning God has for me with this. Thank you! Have a great week
Ruslan - One of your best commentary reviews. Well executed in defining the nuances.
Correct and on point! You're showing yourself approved. God bless and keep you and your family in His grip. Cheers
Spot on Ruslan. Our salvation is everything- experience, new desires, and obedience.
Yes yes!! Nailed it. What the unbeliever doesn’t realize, is that a true follower of Christ who has received the Holy Spirit, is transformed. My mind is consumed with wanting to read scripture and reach others concerning the gospel. My life has radically changed. It has upset many of my secular family and friends. This is a noticeable change that comes with a price. You lose the world but gain eternity.
Keep sharing
Got to stick together during these times.
Incredible video today Ruslan, truly appreciate how you brought a synergy to the conversation with Ben and the answers from scripture that clearly bring context for his understanding. I truly pray he sees this video… 💯
I would say Christians should Love Christ and therefore Obey.
Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 & 9 about saved from believe and not good works
Also circumsized of the spirit ot circumozed of the glesh
It’s crazy how people like Ben can be so right and wrong about Jesus Christ just shows how everyone is flawed
I believe that the Jewish people can't get past a Messiah that came but didn't destroy the Romans. Love and forgiveness wasn't what they wanted or expected out of a coming Messiah. I think that's it
@Fourth Plateau , well, He is. Jesus is Jewish by birth.
@@williamgullett5911 true
@@Mathetesofscripture makes sense
You don't understand the Jewish concept of messiah. To Jews it's not some supernatural magician or God's relative.
It's a man who will reunite the scattered jews in Israel. More like a political leader.
They don't accept Jesus for the same reason as the other 7 billion people on this planet. They don't believe what you believe.
Jews believe in one God. It's number one and two of the ten commandments. It's very clear: "there are no other gods".
To Jews worshiping a man, like Jesus, would be considered idol worship.
They believe the Bible was given by God. No reason to abandon their beliefs for new ones written by a Roman emperor hundreds of years after Jesus died.
I love Ezekial 36:26, that verse has stood out to me ever since the Spirit worked in me six years ago. Once was lost and now am found. Praise the Lord!
Amazing how Jews still forget the greatest command is to love God with all your heart soul mind and strength…kind of seems like God cares about the heart and insides.
They love God. Not Jesus.

There are lines in the Bible where God and Jesus speak like a straight G .
Such confidence and boldness because he’s true
Deep calls to deep, iron sharpens iron. Truth seeks Truth. Let he who seeks diligently, find and see.✌🏼😇Godbless up☝🏼.
transcendent moments never go away, some times we chose to temporarily forget them. i will never forget my real, near death experiences, but sometimes my bad habits of laziness get ahead of me, and i dont use them to motivate me as much. even though my long term goals remain the same.
This is the best video I’ve seen in a LONG time…!!! Thank you my dear brother. May God give those that hear you, ears that hear. 🙏

" Give God your heart,& he'll establish your thoughts "
Major respect to Russell and Ben. And to Ruslan for featuring these two men we can all be proud of.
Well done bro!🎉 Lets celebrate grace! God is good
This was a great episode! Those scriptures were 🔥 fire. Jesus is King🤍
Elvis is King. That cosmic semitic zombie son is pure fiction.
He can't be wrong tribe.
Ben's pretty right on. Transcendent moments are life-changing, but they do fade. So much so to the point where I've met God, I know without a doubt He is. Though that experience was about 4-5 years ago and now I'm finding myself straying because the impact of that transcendent moment has faded into memory and self-doubt. I truly believe we do have to consistently strive to stay close to God. "Faith without work is dead."
If you had the moment and are in doubt you never knew or loved God. There is nothing on the world that a non believer can do to make them believe or find faith. Conversely there is nothing that I need to do to have faith and love and a relationship to God and Jesus.
@Sedna You seem to not know what you're saying. You're saying those who have found God never sin? That's a lie.
Also, I said my relationship was founded with God- not with Jesus. Jesus wasn't a part of it- no religion was. Only God.
@@dialechim4368 let’s reread what I said: if you knew God you wouldn’t have doubt about God ever again. Not the same as how you read it. Also, I said God and Jesus. If you don’t believe in Jesus then you aren’t a Christian because you don’t base your faith in the Bible so I don’t know why you are commenting about Christianity. I was right.
@Sedna I'm not a Christian. But I do have a relationship with YHW,
- which is the God that the Bible has stolen from.
@@therealsedna Never would I claim to be a Christian- idol worshipping, ritualistic, pagan-influenvlced Christianity is NOT the religion of Yeshua.

"Transcendent moments dissappear real fast" Spot on Ben.
Exactly. This was a nice speech but at the end of the day its just semantics.
We are all governed by consciousness. Some refer to it as the holy spirit.
Right Jesus Lives His Life thru us.😀 its a everyday walk with Him..😊
So beautifully explained, Ruslan. Thank you!
Appreciate all the scriptures you been putting in. Respect Brother 💪
Well, you preached today, Sir. I feel a real tension for Ben seeing as any serious religious Jew risks causing great upset among their peers if they accept Jesus. But that could happen at a whole 'nother level with Ben being as publicly prominent as he is. It would be a sacrifice but the very household splitting sacrifice Jesus spoke of. Prayers for Ben.
I'm confused, I thought the Jewish people were jesus' people🤔 am I wrong? Wasn't he king of the Jews?
I've read before that Jewish people don't believe in Jesus!
@@angelaharris6577 One of the main narratives of scripture is humankind's repeated rejection of God. The Jewish people in particular were God's chosen people through which the goodness of God was supposed to be ushered into all mankind.
Repeatedly, the Jews would betray God for foreign gods, fall under punishment for it, and return to God. And so the rejection of Jesus by the Jewish people is a similar repeat of that same cycle. But rather than follow foreign gods, they worship God while not understanding that they have rejected His way of salvation.
To be clear, it was Jews who first accepted Jesus in the many thousands, but many other Jews followed their spiritual leaders in the rejection of Jesus and clung to the old traditions of Moses. And so religious Jews, up to this day, still wait for a Jewish Messiah. Tragically, they are taught by tradition that Jesus was not that Messiah.
I have a new heart & new desires. Amen. Thank You!!!

It's about faith not feelings.
Jesus has entered into my heart last December, and since then there has not been a moment where i haven't felt his presence, or where the transendance has faded even a bit. Granted i have been tempted continually in many ways. But feeling the presence of Jesus, and the true power of prayer i am much better equipped to stand in the light. Lord God Almighty, Ancient of Days, The One True Living God, The Alpha and Omega, The Lord God of Hosts rebuke thee Satan. Your time is running out. God will be glorified. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. God bless all who have ears to hear. I love you all.
That into song absolutely SLAPS
As Christians, we make our decision by faith and not feelings. Feeling that we are in the presence of God last 5 min by faith we know that is still present in our lives.
Although our hearts are regenerated, the epistle to the Hebrews warns us, "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts". Which indicates that we have control over how we respond to God's voice. So yes, we are made brand new through the forgiveness of sins and the reception of the Holy Spirit, but we are required to love God and one another to "remain in his kindness". Rom 11:22
That epistle is talking to the hebrew people as they were hardening their hearts not believing jesus was the messiah.
@@Brytech1216 wrong. These are Christians. Look at the context:
Hebrews 3:
1
Therefore, holy BROTHERS sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our CONFESSION,

Take care, BROTHERS, that none of you may have an evil and unfaithful heart, so as to forsake the living God.
13
Encourage yourselves daily while it is still “today,” so that none of you may grow hardened by the deceit of sin.
14
WE have become partners of Christ IF ONLY we hold the beginning of the reality firm until the end,

for it is said:
“Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
‘Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion.’”
Ruslan’s glow ups every time he gets on camera is crazy!!
First beat in the intro 🌊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Amen!! I wish Ben could see this!!
Jesus is Lord ... and Savior 🕊🕊🕊
“My people shall live by faith”
BRO I’M SO SORRY I thought I was subscribed this whole time!! Now I am officially 😅 what a great breakdown Russel appreciate your work!
Powerful, I watched the interview between Ben and Russell, both of which I do admire for standing up to good values and I was also a taken aback with Ben’s hypothesis on the Christian belief. Thanks for correcting that. I also love that last quote about believing in Jesus rising from the dead, it is quite an interesting angle at how you get non-Christians thinking about what they’re believing. Makes absolute sense! Well done and thanks for sharing some valuable truths. 🙏
lol so I added your songs to my gospel gym playlist because I truly support you not only as a brother in Christ, but you're also super talented, all this to say keep it up b/c now I can listen to "non secular" music that keeps me in the gym mood rather than the worship music which brings me to tears in the middle of a set.
You know how one theme in the Bible is how God Himself is the actual True God and the mockery of idols? Like Baal being the one who makes the clouds his chariot and then Israel saying YHWH is the one who makes the clouds his chariot, for example. God vs the gods, like He is picking a fight with them almost. You can do that with music. Music is soundwaves. God created soundwaves. If a song is truly distressing you, by all means, turn it off, there's plenty of music like that these days... but don't be so hard and legalistic on yourself with the "secular" and "non-secular" rabbit hole. There are so many songs that I've listened to that have nothing to do with God by the artists intent, but I can replace much of the lyrics with God and have it come out making complete sense, but in a whole new different way that is God centered.
Here's a good recent example, Falling In Reverse with the new single 'Watch the World Burn'; near the end a lyric goes something like "Someday you'll find out everything you know is a lie" and the music video shows a priest having terrible things done to him as the Bible falls from his hands or something like that, suffice to say, your typical anti-religion and rebellious metal music video with hellish imagery. That's easily flippable, because we all here know the Truth, and that one day THEY are actually going to find out everything they thought they knew was a lie. I just flip it in my head. And in a way I'm glad to do so, it's the same principle Israel did. "Screw your idol, it's not Chemosh that has YHWH in chains and shackles, YHWH has Chemosh in chains, shackles plus a cage with a hungry lion in it."
"Baal ain't no rider of the clouds, YHWH rides the clouds and makes Baal the workhorse that pulls His heavenly chariot."
Reverse it PLUS some.
But like I said, there's plenty of music out there where this isn't possible so yeah by all means take the pass lmao
stop lying, song's trash. Just because he's a Christian, doesn't mean you must support everything he do
The song is trash? In your opinion, perhaps. Do you not know that music preference is personal?
@@huh239M You say that like music isn’t an opinion 😂
@@heavnxbound lol thank you.
Neither of these two understand Jesus Christ. And it’s actually so simple.
I became friends with three Hassidic Jewish people who had enlightening experiences and changed their perspectives about religion (without having to change religion) and many of the things they discovered by themselves were already written in the New Testament that they haven't read yet.
One of the most important passages that have touched me and resonates with the passage of Jeremiah you mentioned is the 3 chapter of the 2 Corinthians. It is so amazing how perfectly makes sense totally what you said.
...7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
What orthodox Jews don't realize that they have spiritual blindness to know their true Messiah the stories in the it is foreshadowing the nt they go on tradition rather then relation believing a rabbi rather then god smh
Excellent explanation! Earlier this evening, I was attempting to explain the change when I was born again to a relative. She has a lot to think about & I’m praying she sees clearly soon.
The fulfillment of the Scriptures, Christ.
This is an awesome response video. Thank you for explaining those scriptures .
I think Ben is 100% right here. I’m Christian and I did experience God and that is why I am a Christian. And that initial experience of God did fade pretty quick but I remember it and I know it was true. I do feel God come and go in my emotions but I continue to do the thing so that I can keep it real in my life. So I think it’s both ways.
One doesn't need emotional euphoria to know him. Quite the contrary, the emotional euphoria is of this world, the self, the ego. Psalm 46 is a good read.
@@mruziicak amen and amen
Your very emotions will betray you, when it is understood what is right and wrong and you choose to do what is good despite the emotional pull to do what "feels good", then you are living in the path. Temptations are still there...
I hear you, and as a fellow Christian I understand. I think what you are describing is the impact of the awareness of the existence of the 'presence' of God... it is both overwhelming and awesome and we express that with our emotions. Our emotions are for expression but, God tells us that he is more than an emotional experience. That feeling of euphoria (I think that's how Ben put it in the clip🤔) is your spirit reawakening to God's intention towards us. Though that is awesome, God wants us to pursue him, chase after him. He said draw near to me and I'll draw near to you. I do that by maintaining a diet of God focused/spirit led/ material and by connecting through conversation i.e prayer. The more we do that, the closer and clearer he becomes in our every day lives. Love for him becomes more than an emotional expression (honeymoon), its relationship and that exceeds reliance on just emotional recognition 🙏🏾
@@mruziicak one doesn't need emotional euphoria to know him, but it helps ;) ... stop trying to define the experience for everyone... we are all unique, we find God our own ways... the more you slice and dice it up... the more rigorous you become on how and who can experience the splendour... leave it open for everyone...
Psalms 19-7 The law of the Lord is perfect, [a]converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
You are right on!
I get what Ben is saying because it's true, it's something I struggle with as a christian especially as life gets harder even though Ive done my very best to just be the best you can be. It's very hard to live a christian life especially when you are going through a tough patch and there's no light at the end and everyone around you keeps making your life harder. I haven't felt that feeling Ben described for years now, just anger, anger, and more anger. I even almost left church in the middle of worship the other week because of hearing the same songs over and over and over again.
I’ve been very irritable lately and I haven’t been praying as much as I used to. Also can feel my anger intensify. I realized I’ve also been like this before and God has always gotten me through. It may not feel like it but it is temporary💯Hold onto God’s hand with all your might no matter what and I can assure there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You are human and God understands this, HE loves you. I will also pray for you💯🙏🏽God bless you
Hey man, we're all under grace! Jesus doesn't expect us to be perfect, he just wants our heart to desire to be good and that we work towards it. You should never beat yourself up or feel angry about trying to be a good person! The fact that you're trying means you're already doing something right in God's eyes! All you have to do is be 1% better than yesterday😉
Remember, God looks at the heart. I understand how annoying it is to hear the same songs over and over, my church has been like that at times too🙄 What has helped me is to remember that worship is not about what I want, it's about showing love and honour to God. So, it isn't about the song, it's about spending time in relation with God. You could even tune out the song and just pray or visualize yourself standing before God and praising Him in your own way, and let the love of the Holy Spirit approach you. Hope any of that helps, sorry for the ramble😅
That is because in my opinion this isn’t the answer. Church, organised religion, they’re idealised versions that seem to cut off and repress important parts of ourselves out of fear. I was made into a gay and because of that I am not welcome on this side, nor the other side cos I don’t accept the lgbt mafia… I’ve sat and put so so much thought into this and I feel so disenfranchised and do not think we have found the answer yet.
Awsome brother, god bless you.
In my opinion, this is one of your best, man. Well said.
I admire anyone who can watch this and not get bored our of their minds by half
❤️ The law is written on our hearts, we chase perfection, when we r saved by Grace alone, thru faith alone in Christ alone by scripture alone, for the Glory of God alone, we strive for it. None are perfect, all fall short. 🙏🏼💯we have our conscience, Gods beautiful creation and the whole Word of God( now).Literally at hand. So none are w out excuse. It’s up to us to choose wisely thru the gift of free will, w Gods help. Thanks for sharing brother, great content! Stay up, Godbless up, fam. 💥👊😇
We’re under Grace
Make Babylon Desolate Again
Action without the belief/heart/intent, is just superstition
True
Shapiro is absolutely right, Christians absolutely believe that we work because of our faith, not that our works produce faith.
Solid breakdown of the gospel as always my guy 🎉
its not though because the gospel is not for everyone. Only isrealites.. the true isrealites.
I hit subscribe when u started preaching the right word! We believe and that belief makes us born again with new spirits, Amen
Very true we Christians believe first and then do works. When we have Jesus we can do things that we would never have dreamt of doing if it was the other way around.
It's God who does things through us.
The reason many have issues with Christianity and Christians is every other religion, including Judaism is a religion, ONLY Christianity is a relationship. What he described unknowingly is exactly that. Once you start that relationship you want to be close to God, enjoy His love and grace and do His will. You're not just walking in line.
I would love to hear you talk to Russell Brand on this topic on Christianity. To my understanding the Jewish community thinks of Jesus as a great Rabbi and great teacher. They don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah, that is why they only follow the old testament. They don't see the fact that the old testament describes Jesus as the Messiah fulfilling 100%of old testament prophecies 😊
Great response Rslan! This was a well-structured response to Ben's assessment. I hope he sees your video and takes the time to consider and evaluate your response intelligently.
I think Ben will change his tune pretty quickly once he finds himself in the middle of the tribulation
Amen and God bless you!
One day I started watching all my videos at 2x playback speed and I have never gone back. I can watch twice the content in the same time. It is painful to watch live, I just want them to talk faster.
😂😂why didn’t i ever think of this my adhd brain wants ppl to talk faster too. Thanks!!
Watching Ben in 2x feels more like 4x
Same. 100%. Never looked back.
😎😎Thanks 😎good idea😎😎
Best feature. I'd go up to 3x if I could lol
I sent this to @ Ben Shapiro hope he sees it.❤️🙏🏻
I pray with a weeping heart that my people, the Jews, come back home to God. Listen to Isaiah. Listen to David. They told you about the Messiah.
Hollywood. News outlets. Corporations. All sold to the devil. Government control.. We now have demons that approve of cutting up children. Your fellow jewish and my fellow christians sold it all away for cash and power.
Very nice presentation and analysis. There is a lot to break down and consider regarding the chicken/egg arguments here and I believe that will lead many to a better understanding. And thank you for the very brief ask for subscriptions/ notifications. I’m gonna give you both.
Catholicism also has strict set of laws like Judaism but unlike it, in Judaism you follow God's commandments in hope of getting mercy from God in final judgement. In Catholicism (true Christianity) you believe that God's mercy has been granted through you by Christ's sacrifice and for gratitude towards God as well as yourself growing your virtue to follow more God's will and be a beacon of God's will on Earth.
True Christianity is Messianic Judaism.
@@greyhoundlovesme Ha! No. Just for Jews.
@@greyhoundlovesme not true
@@greyhoundlovesme Many Messianic Jews are a;so Catholics, Catholic means universal so for everyone who is a gentile and accepts Christ
The verses referenced by Brethren Ruslan quoted:
Eziekiel(36:2)
Jeremiah(31:31)
Philippians(2)
Hi Ruslan brethren , I love how you brought this to light and break down and reference the word of God in Truth in shedding light on this. I just want to thank you for clearifying this even unto me because I myself am still reading the bible by my own pace and still trying to understand and learn the Word of God myself so that I dont misconcieve the truth for something else. I love this video , Thank you Brother Ruslan 😊God Bless You Brother and God Bless Everyone 😊
I think it's a chicken and egg scenario. Some people come to belief through works. And some people come to works by faith.
Excellent teaching!
Just wanted to share this with you and hope it inspires you in some way 🙏🏽
Honesty I didn’t write this the Holy Spirit did through me 😂🙏🏽🙌🏽
My testimony how I found God when I stopped going to church. ⛪️
Some of us are meant to be alone with God, to know Him and be taught by Him and Him alone.
Not to rely on a pastor, to be taught by God himself!
Don’t get me wrong, nothing better than finding a good spirit filled church, but they are growing fewer and fewer in these end times. The enemies attacks on the body of Christ are stronger now more than ever! Only the strong in Christ are going to be left standing against the plans of the enemy to destroy every last Christian! The closer I get to God, the more I’ve had to unlearn what I’ve been taught in church! God wants to teach you the Bible Himself, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance to tell you what His word means for you! To show you the plans He has for your life. We are all handmade by God for a specific purpose and He wants to teach you Himself what that purpose is! So that you may walk and live in the fullness of your God-given purpose and specific design planned and made just for you. That no one else created can do, but you! 📖
It’s about fully surrendering and giving your will to the Lord. Die of yourself, your flesh and this world. Live only for God and his will and purpose for your life. We are not made whole in this life if we are not living out the purpose we are specifically made for by God to do.🙇🏻♀️
You can go to church your whole life and still find yourself locked out of the gates of heaven. To stay on the narrow path that leads to the gates, you have to deny yourself, pick up your cross, never looking right nor left nor behind only straightforward. KEEPING YOUR EYES ON JESUS! ✝️
He is looking for people after his own heart, like David! To set the captives free with telling people the heart of our salvation!❤️
Jesus died on the cross for our sins so the veil could be torn and that we could have communion with the Father and be filled with the Holy Spirit!🕊
The closer I get to God, He’s show me what I have always known to be true with my whole heart!💜
Matthew 19:26 KJV
26 But Jesus be held them, and said unto them, with man this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
AMEN

How can I allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within me?
@@rose.888
Matthew 7:7-8
King James Version
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
@@rose.888 piggybacking on Karessa’s comment above mine; you have to get out of your own way. The Holy Spirit comes to us as the spirit of Truth. Its movement is discerned in us as we learn to spot the roots of our sinful behaviors in our thoughts, words, and actions…but rather than accusing us and breaking us down, the Holy Spirit understands, forgives, and builds up. A relationship with Christ through the help of the Holy Spirit requires a habit of self-reflection and mindfulness in light of the teachings of the Word of God, so that we may be more true. We come to understand our faults and are guided in our conscience toward correcting them through repentance.
It begins when we first recognize our fallen state and are convicted of our sins. Then, by the grace of God, we enter into prayer and begin cooperating with the work He is doing for us. But as Karessa said, you must first seek truth and ask out of a sincere heart and mind. Then the journey begins.

Right. It isn't just faith leading to works, it's receiving the Holy Spirit through faith and him producing the works in us.
The bible passages you read hit so deep. Everyone can recognize the word of god.
