It’s always hilarious seeing someone pour their heart out on a topic and then a big cloud of smoke just hits them in the face.
I was thinking the same thing! Oh, Joe! 😄💨
Native Americans consider it a great honor. It's just funny though.
Hahahahaha.
It's disrespectful af.But then again he's king of the masses of assholes who would think thats funny
Joe is naive
Same. I started to read the Bible to have ammo to use against Christians and religious people. I was and still am super interested in science, astronomy, cosmology, physics and archaeology, yet when I read the Bible, it struck a very deep cord in my soul, and I literally had a spiritual experience. Long story short, I got saved, started walking in love every single day, now work to help people; I’m an associate pastor for a church that feeds the poor every Sunday after our church service. God is real.
Bible is a great phylosophical book, no need to believe in literal God to live by it's principle values
Astrology is witchcraft the Luke warm will be spat out as they are worse than unbelievers to god.
Not too long ago, I myself did something similar in the way that I as a lifelong believer I have taken upon myself to not just believe but to truly fully dedicate my life to providing and sharing the truth of our Lord God. That includes finding out what really is going on with the whole taboo of Mary Magdalene, and other discrepancies people may seek to use to prove the flaws and the lack of luster that they might see in the book that is the holy Bible. And I was scared, come to find out that when you have the truth guiding you you can be taught that the truth is indeed pure and many have flat out lied to us and poured these deceits into churches making them unflattering. I have no topic no question no boss to defeat when it comes to having a opportunity to share the word. I have confidence and can point people in the right direction and away from these lies that someone that believes love, like the Lord Jesus Christ was not as peers we think but someone who dabbled and had sex with the lady and you know has a background with prostitutes who is this lady? She is fragments of people's lies, mixed with truths of a actual person written in the Bible. Scriptures are to be read and represented by scriptures. When you can find out that it's a lot easier to believe in this truth because there's no other way if you're the way is paved by the hands of man shaved by the motive of a sinful being.
He definitely Real 🙏
@Capt Herbalist God 🙏🙏
My dad was a pastor and I was born in a christian home but when i was a teenager i started to run from God and I really hated religion. The craziest thing was that the more I ran from Jesus the more he chased me down and revealed how much he loves me. I love Jesus so much and I pray that everyone watching this will have a revelation of his love and grace the same way i did.
How or in what way did he chase you down, may i ask?
@@rubenvandeven01 Always there ..Saving form the darkest moments...
This is hilarious
I’m just like you except Jesus didn’t chase me down at all. In fact nothing ever happened from it. It all faded away like an old fairy tale. Couldn’t be happier.
Same here. Actually pursued. I prayed to the universe to help me with my addiction when I was completely hopeless and powerless. God never pushed Itself me but when I asked to be shown the next right thing to do and people to help then signs after signs and signs happened. The first 4-5 I said “I’m seeing what I want to see” but then they kept coming. Then things I’ve never been able to do, God began doing for me. Sober since 4/21/20
Everyone is an atheist until you experience it for yourself. And when you do it’s undeniable.
Yes i’m sure everyone has the exact same response to a certain experience. Great observation there my man!
@@unknownwarrior5672 thank you for your insight Unknown Warrior! Your wisdom is very telling of your strong and glorious character. 🫡
@@unknownwarrior5672 you ever heaer that expression about liberals being young and conservatives being old?
@@unknownwarrior5672you do know he was talking about experiencing the Holy Spirit. And everyone experiences it in different ways. It’s not all “Someone died, I needed someone to blame” like in this case it was “I want to explore the conspiracy known as Christianity” and his eyes were opened. The fact that you think everyone sees it the same way is very ignorant of you. You need to do some research of your own.
I was visited by Angel at age 5 and I doubted for years about it until recently I became a Christian again when I looked more into it even Paul which his name was Saul he hated and killed Christians until he had an encounter with Jesus and he said in 1 Corinthians 12 onward about people saying that people can’t ride from the dead he stated that if we believe he raised from the dead and it’s not true we are fools for believing in him but he had witnesses 500 in fact some outside the Bible which talked about this and Thomas doubted and said if I don’t see the wounds myself I won’t believe because he would have thought they were hallucinations but really weird that all of them died with a smile claiming what they had to endure just because they wanted to I guess they wanted to suffer be tortured be headed yeah just to gain power but no I for one would tell my experience because I have two of them as well very notable anyway I could keep going but I don’t convert anybody I know there will be trolls saying lol sky daddy or I am illogical when I was an atheist as well anyway waiting for it
Joe says, "you're just getting excited." Adam answered, "yes, but it's better if I listen." Showed he really learned the lesson, "Quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." I thought it was cool Joe was not going to put him down for it like the guy saying he was an a-hole for interrupting Joe in earlier interview, but I loved that Adam showed he understood how valuable that teaching was, to listen, not to get angry, not to try to talk over people. "It's better," he said. The way of love.
“No because everything isn’t smoother, it just makes you not freak out when things are not smooth”
That’s fantastic
That's weird man I felt that same way .
Because with christ all things are possible!
It’s Called being humbled
Right, It’s a coping mechanism for those who need it, which I’m all for. What I’m not all for is when it causes you to hate, rape, murder, oppress, etc
Same. I've had so many moments where I felt like I'd go crazy, sometimes I wish I would, but I don't. I get overwhelmed but I'm not destroyed. That's where the verse "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" or "having the mind of Christ" comes into play.
It’s so much easier to be a skeptic. There’s no effort in being a skeptic. When you put in effort to disprove, it’s like the more it’s proven.
I was an atheist once, but now i am a christian
Amen brother!! ❤God bless welcome christ in your heart✝️
@@buntatkaw6852 thank you brother ❤️❤️
:)
Awesome man Christ is King ✝️

People don't even understand who this person is. His name is Adam Curry and he is the FIRST person to make money off of podcasting. He ran a podcast before anyone really listened to podcasts. He is an OG truther. And the logical result of seeking truth is Jesus. I'm so glad he got there! God bless him
The logical result of seeking Truth is God.
Referencing the irrelevant background of someone that you may call *”credibility”* and saying they therefore must be telling the truth, is an appeal to authority.
The TRUTH is that Jesus, god, and Christianity, is beyond illogical. If you wanna believe it, fine, but if you do, I’ll warn you, a majority of wars in history have all been fought because of religion. WW2 fueled by religious and racial persecution, European imperialism being fueled by religious zeal in the 1800s. hell, there’s even an entire time period titled *”the religous wars”* in the 15-1600’s.
My point is, religion is illogical, and impossible, it’s bad for society and humanity, so why should someone believe in it? Personally I couldn’t give two dams what you believe in, I don’t care. But it seriously is just detrimental, which is why I don’t promote it.
@@bigpig1547 some people will never see it. I'm sad for them.
@@harpazoseason
When you say *them* are you referring to people like me? Or are you perhaps talking to someone else?
Because if you’re talking to me, then let me tell you, I’m sad for you because you’re wasting your ONE LIFE in this universe, praising some fantasy, chasing some prophecy, when you could be going out there and finding out what life is all about. But no… keep filling yourself with delusions if it makes you feel better.

Thanks Joe for having him on and letting him talk about being a Christian. 👍🏽
Wow! A lot of likes. Thank you everyone. I still have hope for us Americans and Christians. I fought in the Iraq war and I am one of the blessed ones to be here. Love your neighbor and keep your head up 👊🏽👋🏽
Yup i thought that was amazing from Joe. He has a open Heart
Yeah thanks even though he kind of made sure no one would take him seriously 🙄. As much as Joe has been around he knows the devil exists and so does Jesus Christ
You people are so use to seeing evil such that you think Jesus Christ needs anything from Joe? JC has a far bigger following and place in history. Joe mocked him and honestly made sure no one would take this man seriously.
Jesus Christ don’t need clout from Joe…the lord giveth and the lord can taketh away. Joe is were he is from making deals with the devil. I’d rather be a poor nobody in this life then burn in eternity in the next.
Following the Gospel of Paul. Not Jesus or God. Info taken and added to deceive the world.
I loved this conversation. No he’s not a theologian or expert. Just a man who is on his journey with Christ. Beautiful.
Pathetic I lol

Woah....I was not expecting to hear Joe say "Help me Jesus"... WOW!!!! He is seeking and just asked for THE MOST transformative experience. Watch as God works. He asked for it.
Amen He asked and He will answer him.Im excited for him ❤
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
How? Look at the world. The religion was started by slave masters
Joe was more so making mockery. It wasn't genuine. But for his sake, I hope it will be.
Says he’s “new to this” yet already gets it where so many Christians do not. It is indeed all about love.
god is not all about love. There is no book more violent and hateful than the bible.
Sure all about love, said the crusaders also 😂😂,cancer in innocent children etc,all about 💕,pure love
@@ThEiluminatalex the crusaders were men who didn’t get it. That’s the whole point. Cancer is also a product of our doing. Life isn’t without challenge. If everything was perfect, there’d be no room for faith.

Jesus changed my life! I was 20 years old, in an unhealthy relationship, my gf was pregnant, and I was dealing with depression at the time. I was lost. I prayed and prayed wondering when things would be different. Things miraculously started to fall into place. 5 years later we’re married and so in love! We joined our church and got baptized and now a days the only time I feel sad is when I feel distant from the Lord. Jesus is so good and I thank him for everything!
That's good, glad to hear you found relief in your belief. I have also heard Vishnu and Allah has helped many too through tough times. Good to hear there are many ways people find relief in this world
@@Paakku97 buddha too. but good reply

"feel distant from the Lord..." Well, as human beings our feelings go up and down regularly, so don't put your trust in them, but instead keep your trust in Jesus.
I'm so happy for your and your wife being married and in love.
Praise God!
Joe, Jesus rose from the dead. He was resurrected. There were over 500 witnesses to his resurrection.
you realize there isn’t a single piece of eye witness testimony of the supposed “500”, only Paul who makes the claim that there was? don’t sit there and act like it’s a fact that 500 people witnessed that. you have faith that 500 witnessed and the convo can end there
Exactly! accounts of amazing events that took place right after Jesus death. Was it a coincidence that earth literally shook and there was a massive earthquake that split the temple. Probably just a coincidence to that there was darkness for hours?
@@angel.thisistheway what are your sources for those things being factually true
@@kalebdier7258 a collection of books of people that witnessed and spread the word of these events. Surely if something like that were to happen people would write about it and spread it don’t you think? Why don’t you start with the Gospel in the New Testament. Don’t let anybody tell you. Read it for yourself. Book of Mathew, mark, Luke and John. When more than a few people start giving their testimony it’s because something major happened. But like I said don’t listen to me. Read it and research yourself. Bless you man!
The 500 witnesses is from Corinthians 15. It was written by Paul, who died attesting to his witness and testimony. People don't die over a lie.
Look, nobody is going to give you photographic evidence with fingerprints and DNA. If you want to know more about the resurrection, check out thoroughly both sides on the shroud of Turin. As for believers, we don't need proof like you do.

Nan. Not really. He doesnt answer the hard questions, all he does is bloviate…
This guy isn't a believer, he just thinks he is. He says it's about trying to do better, which is totally backwards from Christianity, and he says at the end we are all God, which is pantheism or panentheism
@@jml5100 don't say he's not a believer. He said himself that he is new to Christianity. You didn't know everything about Math when you first started, he's discovering Christianity and learning about it, and really learning about God.
@@MarcDrt71 maybe he doesn't know what the answers to the hard questions are, because as he said, this is new to him. What questions do you mean?
Amen!
I found Jesus as a homeless 17 year old, didn’t know anything about the Bible. I came home to my father and apologized and he forgave me. When I started reading the Bible in my late 20s I read the story of the prodigal son and I weep, as that was the story of my salvation.
Good for you, keep going, keep walking with Him. God bless you, don't let anyone ever break your relationship with our Lord.
So happy for you, please spread your story, spearheading the cause of christ as well.
We all need to do the great commission, not the great omission; that’s telling people about Jesus and how to go to heaven and how to escape hell!
Exactly, beliefs come first, often propitiated by a psychological need, then it is when one looks for evidence that will of course pass through the filter of the beliefs that are already there.
How many who have read the Bible know that the gospels are completely anonymous or realized that there is not a single eyewitness account of Jesus' life in it?
@@vejeke Then explain how for over 2000 years, people worked to tell a coherent lie about to gain control to make people act in a moral, non beneficial way to them. Faith is a core tenant of Christian ideology, but asides that, we do have evidence, in fact too much that points to the existence of Jesus Christ which are coherent in that sense. We have artifacts that a test to the existence of prophets like king David and more. A little research wouldn't kill.
Before I got saved someone gave me a book called “The Case for Christ” another book by a former atheist. That book is a slam dunk. Funny how this works
A great book for any skeptical reader!!
Yes I have that it’s amazing
It’s actually not ALL about “love”. It’s also about justice, truth, holiness, the way, and eternal life among other things that Jesus both taught and was. (John 14:6)
So... love.
@@awp20rokhum Nope. God is as much about Holiness and Justice as he is about Love.
I was once an atheist myself, and I too have turned to God. To many moments that were profound and unexplainable not to believe.
Sounds like you were never an atheist, then.
Lol funny how people love to throw the atheist word around. An atheist is someone who is certain there is no god. You were just confused lady. And then got more confused
Good for you. Amen

I was a pretty hardcore atheist a long time ago too.
Now I'm a 100% hard-core Christian. You have no idea until you take the plunge and start believing. Thanks Joe!
So glad to hear this!
Still not factual though
I'm atheist and always will be although I've been christened, I think being true to religions like christianity has great benefits for you and others and it will improve your quality of life etc. Ricky Gervais explains it well - there's 3000 gods I just don't believe in 1 more than you. I believe after death nothing happens, just was it like before you were born, although I wish christianity was true , thereby not everything would be based off science and true 'magic' would exist. But the universe does exist so idk shits kinda mad icl.
So you just start believing for no reason then it all makes sense?
How did that happen?? I feel like it would be the same as trying to get me to believe there are aliens living in the moon, if they show me and prove it, I would get on board, otherwise...lol
A few months ago as I sat up in bed one morning, before I even put my feet on the floor, I heard as clear and distinctly as though someone in the room said it "All things are possible through Jesus Christ." To say I was shocked is an understatement. I wasn't dreaming, I wasn't even thinking about Jesus or religion or anything of that nature, I had just woken up and was clearing the cobwebs. That was so weird. I haven't been to any church in ages. I had a similar incident when I was very young, but it was a vision while I was walking outside one hot summer night. I wouldn't believe me either. If he exists, he's trying to get my attention.
I believe you
He's been calling out to you all your life. Knocking on the door to your heart. Took me 28 years to finally COMPLETELY let him in and have 100% faith in Him.
I'm a completely different person from before. Born again.
That's a sign to REPENT and Believe in the Gospel of Christ.
*"You will seek Me, and you will find Me when you search for Me with ALL your heart."*
Jeremiah 29:13
He forgot to mention there were 500+ witnesses who saw Jesus after he resurrected. These people were martyred for saying they SAW Jesus after he was killed and for believing in him. Who would die to support a lie?
dumb people would die to support a lie just look at every suicidal cult till this day 😂
Who were these 500 people? What do you know about them? Outside of Paul making this claim, what evidence do we have that anyone saw Jesus after his supposed resurrection?
@@johnnybgood7442fair question. Paul reported of the 500. There was a non biblical eye witness account of James (Jesus’ brother) being stoned to death by the Jewish authority for his believe in Jesus. While Jesus was alive, James did not believe Jesus was the messiah. After he witnessed Jesus’ resurrected, he became a leader of the early church. He wrote the book of James.
The non-biblical account of his death was recorded by Josephus, a Jewish historian.
There is a difference between me (a believer) going to my death in the name of Jesus and James going to his death in the name of the Jesus. I believe Jesus rose again. James knew Jesus rose again.
Paul accounts for the 500 witnesses, and you may not believe him. But Christianity didn’t just fall out of a tree and accidentally flourish in a Jewish state. Christians weren’t tolerated by the Jewish elite and the Roman’s, they were murdered. So with all that being said, 500 witnesses seems plausible.
@@angrybrownsfans first of all, Josephus wasn’t a contemporary writer. His earliest writings about Jesus weren’t of eye witness accounts, and were written almost 70 years after his supposed death.
Christianity exploded because, unlike the other mystery religions, it accepted the downtrodden, slaves, the poor etc. Once it became popular enough to be useful, the Roman power structure adopted, supported, and finally imposed it within the Empire. That doesn’t tell me anything about the truthfulness of this 500+ witness claim. And it certainly isn’t “plausible” to think that a man was dead for a day and a half, rose from the dead and later revealed himself to 500+ people, when the only source we have of that is from one guy in an old book.
@@johnnybgood7442 Did you believe you have a human great x 200 grandfather?
I was a Christian growing up. Then I was an Atheist for a while, and then God found me and I found myself and accept myself and all the flaws I have. It was beautiful. I'm grateful.
🙏🏾😇
Same here my brother in Christ
We're definitely not just the body. We're God, spirit, universe, whatever you wish to call it compressed in human expression. Not in a sick egoic way that wants to supersede source, but in a divine sense that submits him or herself to the same force that grows our nails, hair, wounds, you name it.
When the teachings of these spiritual teachers such as yeshua are read. You never read them literal, and you never ask "HUH?!, what does it mean?!" as you read it, The truth hides itself from such ways because those ways are the ways of flesh(ego). I had a mentor who'd slap me on top of my head when he would see me begin analyzing the scriptures😂
I'd say "HEY!", Turn around to look at him irritably, turn back around, then go back to reading. It started to teach me how limited our perceptions are when we try to consciously, and consistently use our intellect to understand something, rather than letting our unconscious mind process it and then generate in our hearts, and finally expressed through our body. But that's another subject.
One must "deny themselves"
That is our worse fear, especially when we heavily identify with things that aren't us. The ultimate letting go. I personally, and unfortunately cannot be mad at another who doesn't really seek to do this considering the amazing bliss and feeling of being you have at the end. Because your more animalistic desires or lower nature still remain, they just begin coming at you more in slow motion, and at a distance from you, the awareness that's aware, the I Am. Imma stop, don't wanna say too much.
What's good for survival, isn't good for creation. Spirit against the flesh, flesh against the Spirit. Where balance is, yes, harmony -something my inner voice just said.
@No Name there was indeed many a worldwide flood....there mountains of real evidence to support it. Research younger dryas event
Same here, but I was reintroduced to God from my best friend who was more of an atheist than me. He died from cardiac arrest and brought back to life. He had a NDE and told me we have some kind of spirit vessel that lives on in the afterlife and there is a God that created it all here on earth and there in heaven. He first experienced darkness and the kind of fear that would kill a living breathing person...as a former christian, he remember or knew about prayer, how to ask for forgiveness and how to expel the evil. When he or his spirit started doing this, the evil began to go away and began to be replaced with a feeling of love and comfort moving toward the bright light of God and as he was getting closer, God told him he was not ready and was slammed back into his body and eventually awakened back on earth. He took this as a warning from God, as anyone can imagine. It would or should certainly cause any atheist to change their belief, if not, then God help you!
Yeah, don't put label on faith. Be beliver. Of course you characterized as christian if you belive and follow Christ, but you are a Beliver in His eyes.
Penitentiary chances from armed robberies, gangbanging, alcoholism and a heavy weed addiction was the story of my life for YEARS. It all caught up to me after awhile and I had nowhere to turn. I was literally losing my sanity. I didn’t trust anyone around me. I felt like everyone I came in contact with was conspiring against me. To the point where I was ready to kill anyone who I felt was out to get me.
I hated feeling that way and really tried to shake it and have a good time. Everything that I tried failed me. The alcohol, the weed, the chicks, the money, the streets, it all contributed to my paranoia.
One day, I got high and my paranoia went into overdrive. After an episode at work that saw me threaten my supervisor and two coworkers with a kitchen knife, I sat in my bedroom, grabbed a sawed off shotgun and the Bible and sat in my bedroom with the door locked. The shotgun was for whoever I felt was coming for me. That day would have been their day to die. I had The Bible because I had tried everything else and I was just tired of life and felt like it all would be coming to an end soon. I opened up the Bible and started reading the gospel of Matthew. I couldn’t put it down. By the time I was finished, I was on my face crying like a baby. I called out to Yeshua and said “If You are who You say You are, FIX ME!!!”
I had an indescribable peace fall on me. My life didn’t instantly get better but little by little things began to improve. My paranoia went away. My overall outlook on life changed. I stopped sticking people up. I stopped banging. I stopped getting drunk and high. I stayed in my Word.
I’ve been in relationship with The Lord ever since. That was 24 years ago. During that time, I backslid and fell back into old habits and He’d pick me back up and clean me up again until those old habits weren’t desirable anymore.
In May, my wife and I will both be ordained. Praise God!! Thankful for His Grace, Mercy and Deliverance!!

Sir, Your Made a Real Testament of God's Existence, God Bless and Protect you Sir.. Amen Hallelujah
Adam. Your testimony changed my life.
I watched this clip over and over..
Because I felt Jesus take over my chest with the feeling of love.
Guys. It's real. Let him in..
The love is real..
Amen. I got saved from a comic about hell when I read it as a buddhist. Had an encounter later on with the living God and never the same. My whole tree family are all buddhist, atheists and agnostics.
Wowwww
Agnostic turned Christian here. Following Christ is the best choice I’ve made. And no it doesn’t necessarily make life easier, which is what I used to think. In some regards it does but it’s complex because now you are shaping yourself into something that requires character. It makes life meaningful
If you listen closely, he’s not explaining how God improved his life. He’s explaining how believing in God improved his life.
Yeah it’s called faith.
@@joemaxwell6826you don’t know anything about life, that man has lived more than you and has suffered more than you, and you can only find true meaning in God, the bible is reliable and Jesuschrist did live.
Thats God improving his life through faith. Living by Gods word is the only way to true happiness because it brings us closer to the natural order of things
No such thing. It's called IGNORANCE IS BLISS, and nothing more!
You can go into psychosis, then pretend it helps. You can fool your own mind, and it may even look like it is truly helping you. That's called what every "proper person" is living in. That manic happiness is called hypomania. The fake, yet sorrow filled smiles. Whew.
Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior
Amen
I was a former agnostic atheist, now finding my way back to faith. After accepting Jesus Christ into my life I felt a sense of peace wash over me like I never felt before and cried tears of joy. It’s such a blessing to know he’s real and that he does love us and will never leave your side.
I was born and raised Catholic. So I already believed. At 15 I started partying. I had been told by my mother that there was a lot of alcoholism in the family so drinking was risky. I wasn’t the kind of alcoholic that woke up needing a drink. But when I drank I always drank too much. Often to the point of blacking out. I abused alcohol until I was 30.
I checked myself into a 30 day inpatient treatment program in Sioux City, Iowa. A part of the program was the 12 step program of AA. The most important plank being acknowledging the existence of a higher power in our lives. I will be 64 soon. I haven’t drank since a New Years Eve party 1989.
I tried many times during those 15 years of abuse to quit drinking on my own. My 33 years of sobriety are all thanks to the glory of God. My struggle with trying to quit smoking all these years is proof to me that my sobriety isn’t because I have a strong will. It is the presence of God in my life.
I’m sorry for the length of my comment but if it helps one person quit drinking or accept Christ it’s worth it.
God bless you my friend
God has been helping me with drinking and smoking as well. It’s become a little easier not trying to quit on my own
Replacing one addiction with another does work I suppose, I could probably vape if I wanted to stop smoking cigars, and it’d probably work
Man: professes his love for Christ our savior.
Joe: blows big ass cloud of smoke in his face.

@@MR-nl8xr wtf does being slow to answer do for anything? In fact it's quite rude to not give an answer in a timely fashion. Stupidest quote ever.
@@PocketDelicious There is a difference between how things have been misrepresented in the religious arena, and what they really are.
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against The Holy Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." Matthew 12:31-31
"God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all."
One thing that stood out to me is that biblically speaking we’re not all children of God. We’re created by God but only if you accept Jesus as your messiah and savior does God accept you as His child.
I was going down the wrong path, my mother prayed every night for me and my safety. suddenly, out of the blue something just snapped inside of me and I felt as though a Devine power had lifted me up. I am proud to have re-found my faith. I am a much happier person now.
I actually found my faith, from a conversation with the cable repair guy! His knowledge and love for Jesus changed my life! It has been a miracle for me!
Way cool.
You changed your own life. There is no God
That's a very cool testimony
awesome What was the conversation like?
Was his name Larry by chance?
This is an awesome interview, 10/10. The crazy thing is, I doubt Joe knows how many people are actively praying for his salvation. He has an open mind and is open to many Biblical concepts, and I believe one day the light bulb will fully come on for Joe. Christians - continue to pray for Joe Rogan's salvation!
😂What always tickles me, and I have a Terminal Science Degree, is the INCREDIBLE AMOUNT FAITH YOU NEED TO HAVE to believe all the things that Science “Assumes.”
I have doubt, I’m human, but I know something can’t come from nothing, and my brain can’t even grasp “infinity,” so I am completely open to the train of thought that there’s a Creator. And from the things I’ve seen in this Earth, my Faith is that He is a Loving and Perfect Being.
I was raised by two atheists (my dad was a scientist) and I never saw the inside of a church until I left home as an adult. But, at 8 years old, while exploring in the Rocky Mountains where we lived, it dawned on me that there IS a God. I KNEW there was a God at 8 years old in spite of my home teaching. It has taken me decades to find a church that I feel is not weighed down by much of anything except to love our fellow man. But I agree with Joe's guest, it is a fascinating, joyous and strengthening journey. When I meet a new friend that proudly proclaims that they are an atheist, I ask them if they believe in love. When they say "yes", I tell them then they believe in God, because God is love. 1John 4:8.
Amen that’s the truth. I don’t really have a church home. God told me to seek Him and walk with Him down a different path. And it’s only been showing love to everyone and anyone I come across. Don’t go seeking to do so just let them seek you and do no judging but to love them and they open up because they can feel the genuine love come of of you.
It's hard to find a church, because they're mostly a bit corrupt and doing what is right in man's eyes, instead of God. It's okay not to go to a church. If you can find other believers to study or worship with, that don't tell you what to think, that is cool.
@@idid138 Yes!
Keep up the mind control, spread the programming brother.
@@idid138 exactly, salvation through grace/faith not works!
I was an atheist until I was 30. Hell, my final paper in college English was about how all religion was invented to control the masses. Rather that be for starting a war to giving people peace and purpose. God broke through the walls I’d built one day like the koolaid man. It took years of Bible study and apologetics(such a massive help) before the gap was small enough for me to make that leap of faith.
After years of hell I can firmly say I wouldn’t be here today without God’s help.
God Bless You
At some point in our lives, we have to believe that this something bigger than us that keeps is grounded and that’s why god provides
A fallen soldier, I’m sorry my brother 😔I’ll keep the atheism torch burning on behalf of you guys that got snagged by religion 🔥
Still ignoring the fact that you believe anyone who doesn’t believe goes to an eternal hell
Amen broke my walls also TYJ
I always do wonder, if God created us knowing everything about us and our brain, wouldnt he understand why we are sinners. Its literally how our brains are. We easily get tempted for all sorts of things. But we get born like this. Its like asking for forgiveness for being created like that? I mean we do often still have a choice not to, if we see what were actually doing (we are not always aware). But then its like you are asking God to forgive you for the brain that was given to you by God, that created the temptation within you that you found hard to exist. It almost feels like a setup because our brain is so flawed, like we fall into falacies, circular reasoning etc.... Can someone expand or explain or enlighten me.
I agree
It's because of the first Adam that sin entered into the world. Everyone born after him was subject to the wages of sin, which is death. It is through the Second Adam, (Jesus Christ) that we have salvation from the wages that came from the first Adam.
Yes, God made us, but He originally did NOT make us to sin. Again, one man did that and has condemned us all to a fine that only Jesus Christ can pay off if we believe in Him.
That is why documentation of the resurrection and the martyrs to follow is an important peice of the puzzle
Faith is a gift. I'm so happy for this man, that he received what is freely given. It's never too late. God bless! ❤🙏🏻🕊️
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
"We walk by faith and not by feelings" best principle i learned so far about the christian faith
There is nothing you can't believe if you rely on faith. It's the single worst reason to sift through to find truth.
Ive read the bible three times and used to sincerely believe but have since realised its completely irrational and isnt based on any demonstrative evidence which is required to prove or show knowledge of anything. Also theres over 10,000 to choose from as all are mutually exclusive as each have differing answers on what happens after life and how everything came to be. All are to be believed on faith in indicative (indicative/anecdotal evidence only suggests possible outcomes of which there could be billions) evidence so theres no rational pathway to choose one over the other. All claim to have miracles, almost all have correct prophecies yet only 1 or 0/ 10,000 could possibly be correct. What religion you believe in is almost solely dependent upon the place on earth you come from, the people you are surrounded by and the era in which you were born. If i was born in norway in the viking era id believe in thor, odin etc and have zero knowledge that the bible even existed. This literally means if a god exists theyve created a world in which alot people dont have access to his word and reject his teachings. At the end of the day everyone is agnostic for otherwise theyd simply provide demonstrative evidence for the claim that a god exists and if someone did so theyd win a nobel prize.
So good!
Both Fath and feelings are equally horrible ways to discover what is actually true. Religion teaches you to accept claims without evidence.
It's written "We walk by faith, not by sight."
Forgive me if I sound pedantic. Just being accurate.
Peace.
His heart was regenerated and God revealed Himself and the hunger for the Word was ignited in him just exactly like it happened to me. Praise Jesus!!
This guy gets it! There is a process we are able to tap into and he is talking about it. This is as true as it gets about how to approach this issue and how to treat people and let the truth win out. Profound. Thank you
Happen to me to. I was huge Atheist. and i try to disprove Him and go Against him ecs. and then in my worst time in my entire life period. He came to me and put his hand on my right shoulder and told me " everything will be fine" and i had NEVEr ever felt so much peace at that moment, it was so overwhelming i cried for 4 hours straight, and i completely changed in a snap... never went back
The same thing happened to me. I picked up the Bible to simply break any moral law that was written in it. I was angry and I was very bitter with God for all the hurt and suffering I had gone through
January 16th 2016, Jesus walks in, calls me by name and told me words that totally broke my heart. He looked at me and said " I believe in you"
God bless you. Thanks for sharing.
The right side has meaning in the Bible. That was Him telling you something. Here's just one example:
Ecclesiastes 10:2, “A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.”

What did homosapiens evolve from MONKEYS? 😂 Another absurd, ridiculous LIE. There's a reason we have the saying ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Atheism, no offense, is one of the most ridiculous, absurd, irrational, and logical beliefs anyone can ever believe in. Sorry, not sorry. Do you honestly think that a God that created the earth, and everything in and on it, which works pretty much in perfect harmony with the ENTIRE creation, with EVERYTHING having a specifically designed purpose, just happened to evolve by random, pointless, chance? It's the most absurd thing anyone could EVER believe in. The iphone didn't "evolve" from a flip phone, the skateboard didn't "evolve" into and electric scooter, the car didn't "evolve" into a motorhome, and humans for damn sure didn't evolve from MONKEYS or anything else. Literally everything has a creator, it is impossible for it not to have one, except for the ONE power that can actually do anything he damn well please at any given moment and defy the impossible, into doing the said impossible, EXACTLY like drowning all the weak little Egyptians from Babylon when they were chasing down the Jews that THEY enslaved across the Red Sea. The all knowing, all creating, all powerful God, Jesus Christ for clarification, can do and create anything he likes, hence ALL the creation you see around today. You're not paying attention, you have been deceived by satanic, gnostic, LIES!

I started out a non believer and my spine was miraculously healed.
Even after doctors were calling me to schedule a emergency neck surgery to fuse my spine.
I didn’t believe in that hocus pocus stuff at all till I went to church with my wife and daughter and the pastors son prayed on me.
As he prayed all the pain went away and the next day my left arm that quit working for me two months earlier started working again.
It absolutely blew my mind.
I still continue to go to church there and I continue to see others miraculously healed.
That’s my proof that Jesus was the son of God and he died on a cross for me and rose again 3 days later.
I pray you all come to believe because there isn’t a argument he exists and he wants you to believe and receive salvation.
I pray whoever reads this is radically saved as well
Wow.
Praise God! He miraculously healed my fingers when I was a child. We had a church event at a skating rink. I was skating with my dad and neither of us were any good. I feel and put my hands out and my dad who was 230lb rolled over my ring and middle finger on my right hand.
Both fingers were sticking straight up from the middle knuckle. Obviously I was screaming bloody murder! We got off the ice and another skater came up who was a doctor and said call 911 those fingers are crushed. We got ice on it and the whole church was praying and the pain went away. During prayer I said “Dad it isn’t hurting anymore”. We looked and my fingers were straight again and the swelling was gone. Just a mark on my skin. I was able to squeeze his hand without any pain at all. I was like 7-8yo.
A few years back when I was like 33 I was having some carpal tunnel symptoms in that right hand. They has done x-rays and was waiting her hear back. To doctor came in and asked “So how long ago did you break your two fingers”. I was confused and said I never had. He looked at me and said “Well these x-rays show that they had been broken before. It then dawned on me about that incident and was just confirmation that God almighty healed those fingers that night! Praise God

Same thing happened to me I was trying to debunk the Bible, & nine years of research it was like an obsession to debunk the Bible. I ended up finding out it was true, Tried to debunk it again from shear shock 😂 Now i love the Lord and know Him. Sir Isaac newton said the Bible was the only book in the world that perfectly predicted thousands of years of history in perfect order thousands of years before it happened. I had to check it for myself and it was true. The book is perfect. I believed it I accepted it and I had an encounter with the Lord. He is not far from us you can have a relationship literally. He doesn’t want a religion He wants a relationship, And I feel the same way.
Thousands of years in perfect order? Which part of the Bible are you referring to?
Which part are you saying is not?
@@madouc5754 The book of Daniel alone covers a couple thousand years. To paraphrase the book of Daniel says something like Persia was going to take over certain countries and then Greece would take over and then Rome would have four generals that would become four kings ect.

There’s prophecy being fulfilled today, It talks about the forming of a one world government during the time that Israel had become a country again (1947) and then Euphrates river dried up all three things happened In the same generation look it up.

This is just amazing what Jesus Christ can do when you believe in him. A few years ago I wasnt an atheist but I wasn’t a Christian either, I considered myself too smart to believe in the Bible and had kind of taken up new age beliefs. I felt extremely lost and anxious all the time, some days even suicidal. Also came from a broken home, no father figure. After many years of my mom telling me I needed Christ in my life. I began reading the bible just to prove to myself that nothing in there was true, and my god!has it had an amazing transformation in my life. Every book in the Bible has given me so many life lessons that I so desperately needed 😭 I have not yet babtized myself as a Christian but I will because the way it’s changed me it’s a miracle in itself. I also found the father figure that I have longed for all of my life in Jesus ❤

It's not always about what is added to your life. Somethings are great because the remove things from your plate like stress, anxiety, & depression.
One of the biggest proofs for me when I became a Christian is because God gave me a new heart that changed my attitude and perception of life.

@@timterrell8678The thing is, no one can "prove" God just like no one can "disprove" God. God is FAR above our finite brains and His Ways are higher than ours. We can't "figure out" God. All of our measly "logical thinking" and arguments can't even scratch the surface of God. God has provided more than enough evidence through His creation, through science, through history and through morality. It's just that some people are too stubborn to acknowledge it as God and are willfully ignorant. Atheists just don't like to accept the truth and don't like the idea of a holy and just God who will one day hold them accountable for their actions. Instead, they rely on science because thats the only option left. But unfortunately, science as awesome, powerful and useful as it is, cannot explain everything. It can't answer the main questions such as "Why do we exist?" What is the origin of life?" In biology, evolution may be able to explain what happens when you HAVE life, but it can't explain how life actually BEGAN in the first place. Scientists can't answer how the big bang happened in the first place. Being an Atheist DOES require faith. There are so many big questions left unanswered by science and it can't and never will be able to answer them. You're expecting God to reveal Himself to YOU? Not gonna happen. It doesn't work that way. You seek after HIM. That's how it works. God is not obligated to reveal Himself to anyone. But there is a promise. If you truly seek Him with a sincere, honest and pure heart, He WILL reveal Himself to you. See, true Christians aren't Christians because of blind faith or intellectual belief. True Christians are Christians because they sought after God with all of their heart. Wanting to love Him. To know Him. To serve Him. To submit everything to Him 100%. That's why we have a relationship with Him. Because He revealed Himself to us. I think the issue with most Atheists (not all but most) isn't a "lack of evidence" thing. I think the main issue is because they don't WANT God to exist. They simply don't WANT to submit to God if He is real. That would mean they would have to give up a lot of the things they are doing that is wrong. Let me ask you a question, if Christianity was true, would you be a Christian? If God were to appear to you in front of your face in a dramatic bolt of lighting and said "I'm God. I exist. Here I am." What would you do with that intellectual belief? (Assuming you wouldn't just brush it off as a hallucination) Would you sincerely be willing to give up your sins and your way of living for God's Ways? To serve Him and love Him for the rest of your life? Or would your attitude be like "Wow. I was wrong. You really do exist God." Then just go on with your life and operate as if He doesn't exist? If your response would be the second option, then by no means is God going to reveal Himself to you. He doesn't care about someone's intellectual belief. He wants your HEART. He wants a RELATIONSHIP.
@@joeturner9219 I just finished reading your long response. I feel like you have never met an atheist before. You have mentioned a lot of Christian stereotypes of atheists. You can replace “God” in your response with any other fictional characters such as universe creating fairies. 🧚 “The thing is, no one can “prove” universe creating fairies just like no one can “disprove” fairies. Fairies are FAR above over finite brains and their ways are higher than ours. We can’t figure out fairies.
See how that works out? Does it take you more faith to not believe in universe creating fairies when you have this universe existing right in front of your eyes?
I am open to a possibility of a God existing but the problem is the laws of physics in this reality that we share, don’t allow any Gods to exist and interact with this reality.
Seek first and then you shall find is called confirmation bias. You can do the same thing with a rock. I pray to a large rock in my back yard, and it works! When I get what I ask for, I thank the rock. When I don't get what I ask for, I trust that the rock knows best. When I do something wrong, I ask the rock to forgive me, and I feel cleansed. I share my gratitude for all the good things that happen to me with the rock. And sometimes it's not about expressing gratitude or asking for anything from the rock. It's simply that talking to the rock makes me feel better.
Actually, praying to the rock works in the same way as praying to the God of any religion.
Science not knowing how something happened doesn’t make the supernatural possible. In fact, every discovery of science ever throughout history has found it to have a natural cause. It should worry you that your beliefs aren’t detectable at all in this reality. We have good theories of how life began with Abiogenesis. We know life started as single celled organisms for billions of years before becoming multicellular. At the time of the Big Bang the universe was purely quantum. In quantum mechanics, events don’t have a cause, just a probability. No supernatural God is required. If you find it’s a problem that someone asks for evidence then you should see that as a red flag when you point to faith for your beliefs. Any belief can be held on faith regardless if it’s true or not. You making the argument that science doesn’t have all the answers and never will is a fallacious argument from ignorance and a God of the gaps. I actually care if my beliefs are true or not. I feel like you care more that your beliefs fill in gaps and make you feel good. Pointing to anything existing in this universe is evidence that this universe exists. It’s not evidence for some deity, especially some specific deity from Christianity.
I think a big part of it is the victim mentality that people like to have now. People grow up with parents who made them go to church and pray, and then when they become adults they act like doing those things ruined their lives and that Christianity is oppressive.
It's awesome to be reminded of how ignorant we are when we first become Christian. I remember feeling that way and not having answers. Truly living on faith. His humility admitting that he knows he is still ignorant and will always grow, let's you know God is truly working in him
I ask that those representing Christianity in America today find that humility that you mention. Because it seems to be missing in so many who claim to speak for Jesus.
He is still ignorant and will always grow. Now that is an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

I was raised in a home where my parents were atheists. I adopted my parents views because I had never been exposed to competing world views. After meeting an amazing Christian girl (who I later married) while in the US Navy, I tried to take a really hard and unbiased look at Christianity. All I can really say is that God somehow touched me in the depths of my being and made something alive that was previously not alive. It seems like I see life clearly now, like through a proper pair of glasses that I never knew existed. If I am wrong about all of this, and it’s all just bologna, it’s okay because my life has been changed for the better.
I mean I will say that if the sentence starts with "take a really hard and unbiased look at christianity" and then gets followed up with "somehow touched me somewhere in my personal depths and somehow awoke something somewhere in me", thats kinda fishy, ngl. Not exactly hard facts and logic.

you have been blessed. cherish it forever
Nothing against you or what happened to you, but it kind of bothers me that it takes tragic events for people to become believers. Like for instance you had 28 years to believe, but only when tragedy strikes people turn to prayer.

Same here. I went from christian to atheist to agnostic now. The way I see it is, science and religion are both sitting at the ends of the seesaw and the truth lies in the middle. It is the fulcrum of the seesaw, holding it in place right in the middle.
There are also a countless number of others who did the opposite. People who tried to dig up as much evidence of God's existance and ended being atheist. There are also people
(probably a lot less than the other two) who dug up and researched the evidence of God existance. They found evidence of his existance but found he wasn't as full of love and benevolence as they had once thought.
@@12012channeld God is love but he is also just, and will punish the wicked. Anyone who truly digs for truth will find it, if they don’t then they never truly wanted to find it, and if someone comes to knowledge of the truth the WHOLE truth on who God is and doesn’t like it then hey I guess they don’t like reality. God has given breath in peoples lungs and they still take him for granted, if they think he’s evil then that’s on them and they choose their own fate.
I am going with Jesus too.
He's going with jesus...to drop off his 10% tithe...

The most easy excuse there is, is a all knowing, all powerful being that was always there, that solves all your answers for you, but that doesn't make sense if a all knowing God cant write a book that understood by his own creations.
Religions are man made and have been used to manipulate, control and kill to this very day, even though a lot of people find comfort and support in them but tend to ignore the rest.
They also ignore, hide and destroy history that has been buried and contradicts the books.

@@bundleofhumble3119 and that’s your choice. I appreciate your honesty.
@@bundleofhumble3119 organised religion yes.... spirituality that's an entirely different thing all together.... ✌
For me, I look at it like this. There are a lot of stories, tons of philosophers, and countless myths and folklore. If you want to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius or Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, go ahead; you’ll gain plenty of wisdom for sure. But this is the only story that just won’t go away and has shaped Western culture. All religions to some degree point to similar avenues. I think it would be fatal to ignore or disregard that as just old campfire stories by early humans who lived during times of slavery and child sacrifice. The words, the power of the word, hit people and transform them, but at the end of the day, it requires faith. It's not an absolutely certain document. You have to have faith, but if you take that journey, the transformation it brings about is the real evidence. I understand if someone has skepticism and simply cannot believe it to be true, but it's telling if someone refuses to believe it. This resistance is not just about skepticism; it hints at the influence of dark forces, which are more real and pervasive than we often acknowledge. I think Joe is getting there.

I bought a bible once to prove my college boyfriend wrong about Christianity.

I grew up in a Catholic household but considered myself an atheist for many years. After recently turning back to God I can’t deny that my life has gotten harder as I go about my days trying to remove temptation and be free from sin. But although it’s gotten harder it’s gotten infinitely better as I am morphing into the man I want to become and improving in all aspects by following the teachings of Christ.
Check out Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Hugh Ross, Dr. William Lane Craig, J Warner Wallace, Lee Strobel. The evidence is overwhelming, Jesus really did exist, die for our sins, and resurrect. This guest is still searching but at the end he lost me when he said it's just about "belief" and "maybe we're all God". This is why apologetics is important. The apologists I mentioned talk about all of the evidence from science, history/archaeology, philosophy and so on. Pleased look into their videos, sites, books. God bless!
Welcome back home to Rome, brother! Our Lord's yoke is easy and his burden is light! Godspeed!

Get out of the catholic church if you really are. It's the very synagogue of Satan (the clergy not your family) it says to come out of her my people.
I know, early onset dementia!
The way I heard the role of Jesus blew my mind. The role of Jesus was to connect God to his subjects through self-sacrifice. He very intentionally and with love and mercy took his sins upon himself. He took the blame for our sins.
Very interesting watching a new believer. You can tell he’s struggling a little trying to explain something he doesn’t adequately comprehend just yet. Keep going and I hope the Lord blesses you with even more.
I don't think he's a new believer because the "Gospel" he is promoting is that you "have to try to be a good person". The true Gospel is believe in Jesus (of the Bible) and His sacrifice and you receive eternal life and it cannot be taken away from you. His Gospel is like every other religion and reminds me of Catholicism.
He’s struggling because you can’t express things you can’t prove. Believing is fine and God is probably real and Jesse was a cool guy but not the son of God
It is beyond comprehension, and there are many things like that. We don't comprehend much. About 3 of the 11 dimensions that Physicists have proven to exist. If anyone thinks it isn't true because we can't comprehend it, their ego needs to be checked. 😊

Except no one is censoring christian stories. What's happening now? Is Christians are being held account in a way? They've never been held accountable before. Christians in America have never had their beliefs challenged, so I'm glad that we're in a new world where no one is listening to the religious minority anymore.

Lol the old cHriStIaN pErSeCusIOn native..
i love it when christians are uncensored and they can share their ideas about how loving their genocidal god is. cant believe i used to believe in such lies.
if you read the bible and thinks its just about love and cookies your skipping the parts where the god of abraham promotes lying to non jews, rape and murder of non jews, and using non jews, oh and if your daughter is raped she may get stoned to death for pre maritial sex.
not to talk about its pretty psychopathic to demand someone to kill their own fucking child at the last minute to prove loyalty.
if a normal human did what the supposed christian god has done or justified they be considered a danger to society.
but christians justify their gods evil actions under "mysterious ways" which is absolute bs.
But yes i love to see just how nutty and cringy christians can be, its very entertaining
Can someone tell me who this once atheists name is? I'm very curious to follow up on what he says now
My family distorted the scriptures in the name of God and made our life traumatic. I had every reason in me to turn from God altogether and abandon what I was raised to believe. I knew that the indescribable love I had for someone I never knew wasn't meaningless and I didn't know why but I just couldn't leave Him. I dug into the scripture for myself as a young child and found myself deeper in love with a God that wasn't out to get me for every little bad thing I did. I didn't have Hell in the forefront of my mind anymore. My fear of His justice and wrath was healthy and understanding. I felt love and read love. He loves His children and will protect them at all costs even if it means allowing them to endure hardships to strengthen and fortify their faith. I went through a lot but through the suffering my father was with me and raised me Himself through His word. I can proudly say that I am only who I am today because of Him. Jesus paid the ultimate price so that we could be set free from the curse of the law. Those who don't believe will never see and know. Anything we say is nonsense to them but it's more than just love. It's purpose and fulfillment. I know who I am and where I'm going even if I'm physically going nowhere in life. I don't have a lot in life but what I do have, I cherish. This life is so short. I don't desire things in this world that are temporal or destructive. He has inclined ny heart to love His word and love people. We all sin and fall short but we don't stay there. We gain maturity and wisdom with every passing trial. Through it, we gain greater endurance, greater hope, greater love, greater trust, greater self control, greater patience, greater peace, greater faith, etc...

It's not about love, it's about the gift of salvation. A relationship with God that makes you sick of who you used to be and a complete renewal of your heart and mind. You despise sin and seek God's heart. You spread the word of salvation. It's the simple message of love, it's about much more.
My testimony: Grew up hating Christianity from bad experience in church. At 13, I was old enough to make the choice of wether or not I still wanted to pursue church.. and I was like absolutely not... Felt freedom and liberated from church for the first time (so I thought)... My mother always prayed and never stopped praying for me. I rebelled hard. On Sunday mornings for example, when she would go to church, I'd go call friends to come over and we would snort coke and free based it, doing drugs and get high and drunk etc all before my mother would come back home from worship. As I got older and older I would study witchcraft, new age, clairvoyance and psychic readings... At age 27, I was obsessed with a girl and couldn't understand why I felt like such a strong hold over me over someone I barely even knew. I confined this to someone and all he said to me was, "oh, that's the devil trying to use lust to make you confused that it's love"... He walked away and leaving me to question the super natural (something I believed in to a certain extent). I'm outside smoking a cigarette one day and a woman comes up to me and asked how long I've been a smoker, I answered "since I was 13"... She asked if she could pray for me, for me to stop smoking permanently and I said sure but good luck trying to get me to kick it. After her prayer was done (we held hands-- of course), we went our separate ways. Later that day I went outside for a cigarette break and as I was about to put the cigarette in my mouth... There was this invisible pull. I was fighting with something I couldn't see trying to resist me from smoking. I surrendered and knew that earlier there was a prayer that took place and now this result was happening in real time. As I started to go to church and read the bible I was being attacked at night by some evil forces... One night (this is where it gets bizarrely scary), the devil (or Satan whatever it goes by) appeared right before me in the middle of the night. It was big, scary looking, it was wearing a long black cloth with a hoodie, teeth were sharp, nails were long and black, horns were like rams, smoke underneath it. It pointed at me and laughed and fade into the ceiling upwards. I screamed like I've never screamed before. I talked to a couple of christian pastors and I asked why is this happening to me and why didn't this happen to me before when I was agnostic or atheist, they all said this only happens when the devil knows that you are leaving his kingdom for the kingdom of god and he isn't going to let you go over that easily and yes God is allowing it to happen. When you use the name of Jesus Christ it gets scared and cowards out fast. I asked why this doesn't happen to atheist or agnostic or non Christians, and the answer was because the devil doesn't have to worry about them being he already has them. It was definitely like opening Pandora box. Today I love Jesus Christ and I worship him with all my heart. I tell you all to please accept his gift of salvation and ask him to come into your heart. Jesus is very real and another thing their are a lot of false Christians especially those aligned with politics, in other words not all that say their Christians are going to make it into heaven. Thank you for reading.
Facts. I have a similar experience. Never did coke lol. But I relate to being rebellious (out of lack of love at home). 💔 this just reminded me of things I was forgetting. And why I just made the shift back to Jesus christ. (Because i finally put together all that witchcraft, universe stuff is just satan luring you in with his tricks and deception.) I had the demon experience too. It was terrifying. I called on Jesus. It happened for a few nights. I let it pass. I'm slowly getting to peace. Thank you for sharing why that happened. I wanted to ask a Christian leader that, too. It's fresh for me. Went to church today for the first time in years. Elated to be back. The preacher wasnt perfect, but I still was blessed. And my boyfriend. We will church shop. ⛪️ praise God for bringing us both home. 🥲
Why do you guys always have to embellish your stories? Are you telling me that Jesus has time to stop you from smoking but just can't manage to save babies from being murdered? Why don't you say "hey God, go save some babies from being horrifically murdered. I'll work on quitting smoking myself. Babies should clearly be the priority"? Do you feel bad that God answered your prayer instead of saving babies?
@WatchMePlayEnergy can't speak for him. But don't be so quick to call ppl Liars. Lots of ppl have experiences like this where they were cured of addictions instantly. Self included. I remember thinking the same thing. I used to think "God doesn't exist because babies get raped by monsters"....its a good question you're asking. We humans cant answer these questions. God doesn't work on our time. But ask your questions to God in prayer and you will see him work. If you honestly want to understand something, seek God in earnest. Pray from the heart. You will get your prayers answered. Bless up.
@@watchmeplayenergy281 - Why bad things happen to good (or innocent) people- That is one of the biggest questions and the highest hurdle to overcome for people that truly desire to believe in God.
The answer, best there appears to be, is that God gave us free will. We get to choose whether we will serve God, or whether we want to follow our own desires and way. And since God can see the future and the past and everything in between, and since He created humans, He understands exactly how we are and react to any situation, and since He loves us, He wants the best for us and has given us the keys to how we will be the most happy, secure, loved, and useful- if we only follow His plan for our lives and choose His way according to His Book.
But so many of us choose to decide what WE think will make us happiest, and often, our choices as humans force pain on someone else, even if we didn't specifically choose to hurt that person or persons.
My choice to get drunk and then drive may kill someone. My choice to have s e x when I'm young before I'm married and then decide to abort will cause the death of a child and probably send me into depression and guilt. (And if I'm the boy/man involved and I force the mother of my child to abort, same feelings can be felt; also, it's an evil thing to force on someone.) If I choose to keep the child, I may be forcing the child into a life of poverty (granted, if there's plenty of love and enough food and warmth, the poverty most likely won't be realized by the child, and it certainly isn't the worst thing ever). If I choose to keep the child and then allow men or women into my space that aren't trustworthy, they may abuse the child, and even if I didn't realize that that would happen, my choice would have still resulted in a terrifying childhood for my child and trauma for life.
Bottom line, it's God allowing us choices and then us choosing foolishly that creates the evil in the world. Should God have forced all of us to follow His perfect plan for our lives instead?
It's worth meditating on that for a long while and studying it out in the Bible. There are Bible Concordances that can help with studying things like that.

The Bible free of *all* Christian beliefs is a good book. Doesn't make Christians any better. If anything, worse.
You have to get rid of everything you believe in and study all religions with impartiality. Start with Hinduism, then Buddhism, then Judaism, then Christianity, then the last religion, and see which of these religions is more clear, and then also compare which of the owners of these religions are more committed to the teachings of their religion, for example, you can see that there is no Any country in the world today is governed by the Christian Bible, but it has come to the point that it is the largest and most powerful country in brackets. The founders of this country and its population are Christians. There are churches that say about your God in brackets that he was a homosexual, and they put gay flags. These things show you their respect for their Lord, and this Other than racism against black people, which is also due to religious reasons, about the story of Noah in the Bible, and also Christians are the ones who invented, produced, and are still producing and issuing pornographic films all over the world, and Muslims are the only ones who fight these pornographic films, and finally I understand what you mean Also, my brother, and you should know that if all people become Muslims or all of them are atheists, nothing will make any difference to God because he does not need them, but there is beauty and wisdom in the multiplicity of religions and races, and people have freedom of choice. This is a matter at the top of beauty, for example, I can I choose to be an atheist and work as a porn actor or become a Muslim and follow God's orders as much as I can. I hope you will respond to me. I also know the mentality and way of thinking of atheists and Christians. I mean 99% of them, they just do not feel that they have to enter Islam or any religion. Another, because they do not care about religions in the first place, they just live their lives, and as for Christians, how can they believe that this universe did not come by chance, and they know that there is a Creator, so every person who is honest with himself will choose the path of truth and he is clear, and who does not care, this is a natural matter God told us about it in the Qur’an that most people do not believe, and lastly, I hope you learn about religion before you talk about it, so believe me, your understanding of Islam is not equal to 0.7% of its reality, and also you should know that whoever decides who enters heaven or hell is the Creator only, not me or You, there are Christians who will enter Paradise and there are Muslims who will enter Hell, and this does not mean that we should not change our religion. Do not repeat what the Jews did with the Christians and repeat it with Islam. It is not possible to deny the divine miracles obtained by the Jewish prophet Moses and the Christian prophet Jesus and Nabi Surrendering to God, Muhammad, as well as the Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him, the father of the prophets. Perhaps you do not want or do not feel that you are interested in my religion, so I repeat that it is your decision and your choice, but you know that you will not have an excuse before God, and a person like me has come to you and warned you and made it clear to you and for sure God loves you until he delivers this message to you, and may God’s peace, mercy and blessings be upon you
If you keep reading, you'll continue to change.
I pray your eyes and ears be opened to see and hear the Ruach HaKodesh the way intended.
Religious trauma is a huge problem.
As a former Atheist, I can say without a single doubt in my mind, God is 100% real.
I was raised Catholic, didn't like it, became Atheist, eventually went homeless 100% by choice, for no reason other than this strong feeling that I HAD to do this for some reason, and then I discovered a real relationship with God through my humility, and feeling Him guide me as I lived with the homeless throughout the country. Before, as an Atheist I was wise enough to recognize that I was treating people and my family wrong, but I didn't have the strength to change. I had a sort of lust and hatred towards women, and my parents just annoyed me, so I never really spoke to them, but God changed me, and I owe everything that I am to Him.
I have a beautiful loving wife now, and a strong relationship with my family. I have true love in my life now, and I thank God for it every day because I don't know what I would have become if He had not stepped into my life.
I've also seen the supernatural move in the physical world as well. I wish everyone would experience this. It was the one thing that made me say God is more real than even the World that I see. God is so, so incredibly real that I literally brings tears to my eyes just writing this.
God bless you
And a Muslim 100% knows Allah is the one true god because they have the exact same emotions you have.
Doesn't make any of it true.
@SuM of NoN dafuq are you even talking about?
That's just a jumble of incoherent nonsense

@SuM of NoN lamb...
One of my aunts has cancer that’s spread everywhere, she is about to pass away and she was laying in bed looking really bad. The expression of death on her face, almost my entire family was present in her house and about 40 people prayed for her. 10 minutes later she wakes up with a smile on her face and was able to talk after being asleep the entire day. I don’t know if that’s coincidence but I really hope god is real
He is!!
I’ve heard too many stories about miracles to believe they’re all fake or tricks on the mind. Even if 1 miracle is unmistakably true, that’s sufficient to prove God exists.
Not to be mean but It happens a Lot that people before passing away get better without any explanation, but soon enough they pass anyways
@@josepazpas683 and God may have planned it that way.
Who in their right mind could believe in and worship a god who gave the green light to CHATTEL SLAVERY as the Bible god Yahweh did in Leviticus 25? The Bible has been used to justify slavery for centuries. Wake up! Christianity is evil!
This just goes to prove how powerful a religious cult is. Sad really.
“Everyone is f*kd up…but you’re forgiven as long as you try to be better.”

I still remember the day when I approached a church after 20 years, and sat there for 30 mins to give it a try. Cried like I child. Couldn't hold my tears. It was a big relief to be able to acknowledge all my sins to God. I felt understood, and loved by Him. He didn't judge me and I appreciated that.
I still remember the time i went to church and fell asleep in the pews cause it was boring af. To each their own
Completely same story, total relief coming to God
@@benjiowen8433 sure
@@ionevnknonymor that's terrible, I agree.
Same but that doesn't mean christians are right or that the book is the word of god. Just saying.
love this so much. Joe Rogan can never avoid the truth of Jesus Christ no matter how hard he tries lol
Avoid the truth? What "truth" are you talking about? Your truth takes Faith?
He’s coming around

@@lionzion1879 “your truth” is a made up thing. I made no claim. Something is either true or false. Thanks for playing
