@Torvic Yes. There is a difference between those who have left it all behind to follow Christ (to live a new life, seeking to honour Him) and those who want to find a way where everything and everyone can be accepted (even if obviously rebelling in sinful pride against God).
I hope GQ will continue this video series no matter how many or how few hits it gets. Because this video changed my understandings about religion more than all of the materials I consumed put together.
Very reverand. Absolute nonsense !! The man wet, weak and represent God!! His sermons are nicities, gentle ramblings. Doesn't preach the true word of God!!
Really? Plenty of nauseating images of him around cosying up to royalty, including Prince Andrew!! Seems very taken with pomp and circumstance and ceremony in a way that strikes me as incredibly shallow.
Alistair Campbell is an excellent interviewer--asking the tough questions without being nasty. And the Archbishop has wonderfully engaged in this with absolute honesty. We need more interviews like this.
@@jackhurst6009 Actually I watched it quite intensely. If you do not agree, please point out where Alistair has not been tough in his questioning and where the Archbishop has not been honest!
What a truly remarkable man is the Archbishop. One of the most interesting, thought-provoking and honest interviews I've heard. I have every respect for him
First proper long form interview I’ve seen with this guy. I’m not a Christian but he seems like a thoroughly decent, thoughtful man. Great interview from Alastair. His GQ interviews are very good.
He certainly seems like a nice man but that's only because he doesn't follow what the bible actually says, and picks certain verses to interpret how he wants, where as at least a fundamentalist christian as awful as they are and wrong about a lot, they can say they adhere to every word literally.
Although I'm basically an agnostic, I find Welby to be very thoughtful, low key, and humble; he seems to be completely lacking in the pomposity one often associates with figures in high positions in the clergy. It's very refreshing to hear him admit that he struggles with certain issues and does not have a clear answer. He seems like he could have a reasonable conversation with just about anyone.
The Archbishop gave honest, sincere and faithful answers. He is standing on a firm foundation that shows you, he is a faithful child of God. I was really moved by his honesty and sincerity in answering all those hard questions. God bless you our dear brother Justin Welby. And I will pray that Alistair Campbell Will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour.
Justine Welby comes across very grounded and a great advocate for the faith. How refreshing - it warms you to Christianity and I liked him even more when he admitted he has struggles, carries doubts and hasn't got it all figured out. Wow.
its not about man in Christianity, its about if the person is serving the Lord with all faith in the word of God, which clearly there is a problem here.
The fact it was 20 years ago doesn't downplay the magnitude of the error, the deliberate deception, or the hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths it caused.
As a practising Catholic of 71 near 72 this man is a really good Archbishop he can smile ,He has control of his ego and thinks before he opens his mouth ,He is a humble man .I admire him for still supporting traditional beliefs of his Church .Yet he does not offend anybody he disagrees with .He is also strong on the teaching of Jesus Christ .I was accessing his religious beliefs and if I had a problem I would ask him
The Archbishop was part of a beautiful service for the late Queen. I know he had natural anxieties about being part of it, but you are such a great figure and I'm glad it was him!
Are you serious?? JW does not know the Word of God...he is leading the CoE down a very serious path ....by blessing same sex marriages which the Bible does not agree with. Marriage is a Holy act between one man and one woman. Adam did not have relationship with another man nor did Eve with another woman. God created man and woman to come together to bring about mankind. JW either does not know the Scriptures or has decided to use his own ideas. And regards the other person in this interview I wonder does he know the Scriptures either....what about having a born again Christian having an interview with him.....one who knows the Scriptures
I thoroughly enjoyed this dialogue! I am a Christian and I truly appreciate the interviewer. He asked very meaningful, honest and thought provoking questions that every Christian should expect to wrestle with at some point in their faith journey. Our inability to understand every complexity that challenges our faith does not negate who Jesus is and our relationship with Him.
I really find the Archbishop of Canterbury fascinating, well-read, not pompous in anyway at all. Infact humility is the description I would use. An extremely intelligent, wise & genuinely honest man (quite frightening and, one would understand why I said that if you listen to all the conversations they had) and yet quite witty. I love his explanation of the Scripture Romans that Alistair Campbell mentioned that his sister read that morning and then asked him to expand on, and his explanation of God's love for all humans regardless whether you are an atheist or not with other examples is telling. I love and have deep respect for him.
I'm absolutely astonished by the Archbishop, intelligence, humbleness, open-mindedness and sense of humour. I'm not a religious person, but I think he's a role-model to a tolerant religious figure. The interviewer too was calm and not too aggressive with his manner, even though, they ideologically disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed the interview.
I love that "Will you go to Heaven?"- "Yes" "Will I?"- "That's up to you" God Bless him, especially now, as he makes a decision on the new Bishop of Colombo.
I'm sure he is, but that doesn't mean he's right. I have yet to see convincing evidence of his god... or any for that matter, there's around 3000 to choose from, not including all the Hindu gods.
@@bl00dhoney name another God who embodied a living person who helped people in the poorest times of their lives, died by brutal execution so that we could reach heaven and be absolved of our sins purely because he loves us? Name me one other Deity that did that.

Jesus never wore robes and mitres and the money he had, he distributed to the poor. If I wish to visit the "House of God" (Westminster Abbey) I have to pay, I rest my case.
There are some very human moments in this candid dialogue imho. At about 32:00 JW talks of his childhood with both parents alcoholic, and his own struggles. Seems a genuinely interesting person to be leading the Anglican church.
Whatever you think of the guy, Alastair Campbell sure makes some interesting interviews. I have to say his abrasive nature doesn't come off as well against Welby as it does against more political figures, sometimes he seemed unnecessarily brutish and rude compared to the gentle Archbishop, but still it did deliver a very interesting conversation.
I've seen that said about aliens and for me that is more terrifying. What you're saying isn't a matter of God or no God. It's more a matter of what happens when you die because the truth of the matter is that none of the thousands of Gods throughout human history have ever had any impact on the earth aside from human believing. You're just worried about if you'll meet some sort of God after death or if you'll fade into black, the latter being more realistic. You have issues with dealing with death. I'd suggest you come to terms with it as it happens to us all
@@ZValenT yes it's a quote from H.G. Wells the author of war of the worlds. Firstly it's a throw away quote on you tube . Secondly I have no problem with death or there being nothing except non existence after death . I don't need to reconcile my self with anything .

God reaches out to us to show His undeserved and immeasurable love, but also His Holiness, Lordship and Sovereignty. We need to be convinced of our sinfulness in light of God's justifiable hatred of it to be brought to repentance, and a desire to be re-made in His image and ways. That requires truth spoken, preached or read, conviction by the Holy Spirit, faith and obedience, even to our hurt and suffering out of reciprocal love and sincere gratitude for His great love, His death on the cross in our place, and His matchlessness. The truth does not condemn, it sets free ✝️
Torvic ....Google....Prophecy News Watchers.....then into...Prophecy news headlines...then scroll...Pope Francis declares that Christian fundamentalists are “A Scourge”.....Welby at back in photo.... 🏴
Believing that the State is God is the modern trend across many countries. Man cannot abide the idea of a monotheistic almighty God. The sheer arrogance of man in attempting overthrowing what God has decreed. E.g. God has declared 2 genders, the State hands our GRCs, basically saying ignore that, you are what we decide, now Hail Caesar! or suffer for it.
Yep....brilliant at propping up the elite, rich establishment and not actually answering the difficult questions....all while sitting on a personal fortune, while people starve....wicked man....even defends Trump??? What a twister of a man who can't actually commit himself to grow a pair and call out wrong doing.....Jesus threw over the tables of the money lenders. What a waste of an opportunity.
Clergy should be respected, despite in the many years of war, soldiers laughing at the Padre who always had an official position in Army (Captain) they would always respect him and, when the jokes went to hard, an Office would step it. The British Army has had padres/pastors for 400+ years. They are immensely respected and in the battlefield all troops respect them. Don't forget your culture and its foundation(s).
Met Tom Wright at one of our diocesan conferences at central hotel Donegal, when he was Bishop of Durham. He was a strong figure who came across as a type of helms man!
This was a fascinating watch - the archbishop of canterbury comes across great here. I'm catholic myself so Anglicanism isnt my thing. However, I'm surprised at Alisatir's objection that he finds things hard to believe - what makes him think that it should be easy? Faith is something you work at, not just something you have by default
@@captainbadger1013 That's incorrect. Alistair McGrath, CS Lewis, Tim Keller, Lee Strobel are worth reading if you are so confident in your position you are willing to listen to intelligent counter arguments. One of my best friends is an atheist philosophy of science professor, he finds a lot of value in the arguments in WIlliam Lane Craig and others. There is a lot of connection to truth, you just don't know the truths.
@@BenWeeks I've seen Strobel and Craig debates plenty of times and, in my opinion, they don't do so well. I'm currently reading Richard Dawkins latest book "Outgrowing God". "There is a lot of connection to truth, you just don't know truth". That's the sort of patronising and vapid comment I'd expect from a Christian.
Typical theist comment: Why should "things" be easy to "believe"? Huh? Inane, foolish, embarrassing, delusional gibberish. Meanwhile, why does your invisible god insist on playing hide and seek? The answer, of course: There is no god, zero proof of a god. And the Bible is a book, not proof at all. It's so embarrassing that gullible humans still believe this nonsense.
I only watched halfway through but it's an interesting interview with both interviewer and interviewee being as honest as possible with their questions and answers. However, it's interesting how Justin Welby addressed the questions intellectually (rather than from the heart) on the whole, avoids some questions and actually contradicts himself a couple of times ('I'm going to heaven' vs 'Deciding whether someone goes to heaven or not is above my paygrade'). It's obvious that he doesn't understand how it all works, but at least he admits so, and his heart is in a good place.
As an agnostic person myself, I found this absolutely fascinating to watch. Also as someone who for too many years had mental battles before finally accepting my sexual orientation, I've often felt personally that even if I did believe, I wouldn't be welcomed by the church. I thought he answered that very well in disagreeing but being against condemning people.
I pray that the Anglican church has a revival and a restoration to the gospel that gave birth to it. It is unfortunate that its head and its archbishop care so little about the true gospel and more about politics.
Thank you Archbishop, you did an amazing job , Jesus is truly Lord and you told it like it is . Hope the seed is sown in mr Campbell’s heart , and one day we will see the fruit of your work , not an easy job , but very well done .This guy didn’t get it yet , hope he dose then and only then will he truly understand thank you
@@Fanny_Snuffle are you mad?? It's on you lot of religious nutcases to produce the proof. There is not one single shred of evidence that your Lord existed. Not a single shred.
@@Fanny_Snuffle you have been brainwashed. What more your god than Allah?? All the other world religions. You are very smug in thinking all those other religions are wrong and you are right
You don't go to people and ask if there is a God. You go to God. The only way for you to get to God to listen to you is to have the realisation that his Son took your sin and nailed it on that cross. Jesus took our place because God so wants this world to be back on track. The bible says nobody gets to the Father without believing on the Son. Pray to Jesus that He will show you the Truth of Himself in your life.
Alistair Campbell interviewed like he'd never had an in-depth talk with a Christian before. ANY Christian. It seemed like he asked questions to try and unnerve Welby, not have a conversation. '"Didn't you have a breakdown?".....and "Yes I know you lost a child..." he said dismissively. Welby handled it honestly and met him with grace, which is much more than can be said for Campbell.
Very good discussion. Portrays Campbell and Welby in a completely different light. Impressive. “It’s all about knowing Jesus and God’s mercy.” Perfect summary of the Christian stance. Intriguing that Welby didn’t refer to Pope John-Paul II’s work ‘Theology of The Body’ that walks through the entire issue of human sexuality within a Christian context, it’s dilemmas and the response and compassionate support it requires of the Christian churches and humanity as a whole. Stunning life story from Welby. Love the daydreaming observation. Love how appalling Campbell’s research was at times 😂 The mention of Black Dog also shows a whole element of understanding and compassion. Campbell’s fervent sister must be a real treasure too. Brilliant interview.
I enjoyed this interview. Justin Welby comes across as completely genuine and honest and willing to consider other points of view whereas Alastair Campbell seems to be a lot more dogmatic with his atheism and unwilling to consider alternatives. Still, he does a good job with asking very good questions. Actually, they have both gone up in my estimation after seeing this.
I once read a book that started with " once upon a time ". At NO point did i believe the book was a true account of a historic event just because it claimed it was.
go on then provide evidence. If you can you will be very first person ever to do so. And of course if you can then we don't have to have faith. Your evidence will of course, by definition, will be based upon scientific evidence thus provable..
@@Baz63 As far as we can see everything that began to exist has a cause. The universe began to exist. Therefore the Universe has a cause. According to the laws of nature, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Yet energy exists. The cause must be supernatural.
Have we all decided Alastair Campbell's an alright guy now? He seems to be squirming his way back into the mainstream, after being complicit in one of the biggest crimes against humanity in history. Just thought I'd remind everyone with short memories.
Not sure if he's an "alright guy", but I don't see what benefit there is to anyone if we protest against his involvement in the Iraq War by refusing to watch this very interesting interview.
The Archbishop is too guarded, too diplomatic, not wanting to ruffle feathers, very unlike Jesus or John the Baptist or Paul or Peter or the early apostles or disciples. No wonder Jesus attacked the religious leaders.
The wil of God is the same, in the twenty first century, as it was in the beginning when Almighty God gave us his laws. Greetings from Northern Ireland.
There is no good evidence any god exists and even less that you know what his will is. Religion is a man made invention. God is just humans inventing superman as a panacea for everything they don't know.
Many people who mock Christian’s as uneducated or unthinking would do well to listen to learned & thoughtful people such as this All Christians were at one time NON CHRISTIAN and all of us at times doubt But we have thought it through and made a decision to follow Christ !! Heather kell

Believing that the State is God is the modern trend across many countries. Man cannot abide the idea of a monotheistic almighty God. The sheer arrogance of man in attempting overthrowing what God has decreed. E.g. God has declared 2 genders, the State hands our GRCs, basically saying ignore that, you are what we decide, now Hail Caesar! or suffer for it.
I like the way Alastair Campbell interview people ...
Welby brilliant here
Yep....brilliant at propping up the elite, rich establishment and not actually answering the difficult questions....all while sitting on a personal fortune, while people starve....wicked man....even defends Trump??? What a twister of a man who can't actually commit himself to grow a pair and call out wrong doing.....Jesus threw over the tables of the money lenders. What a waste of an opportunity.
@@iseeolly9959 just shut up
@@mattc3991 OK
Brilliant at being a deluded idiot
Praying for you Alastair, sounds like God is working in your life.
He is going to need all the praying he can get when he moves on from this life, looking back at history
Clergy should be respected, despite in the many years of war, soldiers laughing at the Padre who always had an official position in Army (Captain) they would always respect him and, when the jokes went to hard, an Office would step it. The British Army has had padres/pastors for 400+ years. They are immensely respected and in the battlefield all troops respect them. Don't forget your culture and its foundation(s).
It seems we have a very grounded a wonderful Pope and Archbishop of Canterbury today.
I dislike when an interviewer comes with an agenda as I feel Campbell did. The Archbishop handled it intelligently and with so much grace.
Great interview, thoughtfully done.
We all have our views.
I have no doubt on what I believe, never had. Respect 4 all
Touching, and engaging - two men at their simple best. Gods « headhunting » was spot on with JW
Thank you, Archbishop, for your clear
statement of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.🙏🏻
One of the great men leading the Church of England and helping to lead all Christians everywhere is Tom Wright.
Thanks, I will look him up. 👍🏼
Met Tom Wright at one of our
diocesan conferences at
central hotel Donegal,
when he was Bishop
of Durham.
He was a strong figure
who came across as
a type of helms
man!
This was a fascinating watch - the archbishop of canterbury comes across great here. I'm catholic myself so Anglicanism isnt my thing. However, I'm surprised at Alisatir's objection that he finds things hard to believe - what makes him think that it should be easy? Faith is something you work at, not just something you have by default
@@captainbadger1013 That's incorrect. Alistair McGrath, CS Lewis, Tim Keller, Lee Strobel are worth reading if you are so confident in your position you are willing to listen to intelligent counter arguments. One of my best friends is an atheist philosophy of science professor, he finds a lot of value in the arguments in WIlliam Lane Craig and others. There is a lot of connection to truth, you just don't know the truths.
@@BenWeeks I've seen Strobel and Craig debates plenty of times and, in my opinion, they don't do so well. I'm currently reading Richard Dawkins latest book "Outgrowing God". "There is a lot of connection to truth, you just don't know truth". That's the sort of patronising and vapid comment I'd expect from a Christian.
Typical theist comment: Why should "things" be easy to "believe"? Huh? Inane, foolish, embarrassing, delusional gibberish. Meanwhile, why does your invisible god insist on playing hide and seek? The answer, of course: There is no god, zero proof of a god. And the Bible is a book, not proof at all. It's so embarrassing that gullible humans still believe this nonsense.
ALL that the Father gives me SHALL come to me, and him that comes to me I will not cast away.
I only watched halfway through but it's an interesting interview with both interviewer and interviewee being as honest as possible with their questions and answers. However, it's interesting how Justin Welby addressed the questions intellectually (rather than from the heart) on the whole, avoids some questions and actually contradicts himself a couple of times ('I'm going to heaven' vs 'Deciding whether someone goes to heaven or not is above my paygrade'). It's obvious that he doesn't understand how it all works, but at least he admits so, and his heart is in a good place.
Well it’s only god who decides at the end of the day.
The Archbishop is brilliant and very spiritual.
Yes spiritual.
Another brilliant interview by Alastair. Justin is a remarkable man.
I’m not religious but I like this guy. Honest
As an agnostic person myself, I found this absolutely fascinating to watch. Also as someone who for too many years had mental battles before finally accepting my sexual orientation, I've often felt personally that even if I did believe, I wouldn't be welcomed by the church. I thought he answered that very well in disagreeing but being against condemning people.
I pray that the Anglican church has a revival and a restoration to the gospel that gave birth to it. It is unfortunate that its head and its archbishop care so little about the true gospel and more about politics.
Thank you Archbishop, you did an amazing job , Jesus is truly Lord and you told it like it is . Hope the seed is sown in mr Campbell’s heart , and one day we will see the fruit of your work , not an easy job , but very well done .This guy didn’t get it yet , hope he dose then and only then will he truly understand thank you
Show me some proof of your god. Just a tiny inkling of proof of your god. There is not an iota of proof.
@@terryscott4746 what proof do you want?
@@Fanny_Snuffle are you mad?? It's on you lot of religious nutcases to produce the proof. There is not one single shred of evidence that your Lord existed. Not a single shred.
@@terryscott4746 What would convince you if there were some? Come on! Do a little bit of thinking!
@@Fanny_Snuffle you have been brainwashed. What more your god than Allah?? All the other world religions. You are very smug in thinking all those other religions are wrong and you are right
I don'r believe in god... I believe in Alastair Campbell even less..
Hear hear...
If there is a God, Alistair Campbell is going to a very hot place when he dies and I am not talking about the Canary Islands.
I like the way British say the word issue
You don't go to people and ask if there is a God. You go to God. The only way for you to get to God to listen to you is to have the realisation that his Son took your sin and nailed it on that cross. Jesus took our place because God so wants this world to be back on track. The bible says nobody gets to the Father without believing on the Son. Pray to Jesus that He will show you the Truth of Himself in your life.
spot on. Chrsitnaity isnt observing a load of rules. its about the witness of the the love of Jesus Christ for us. Perfect
Why are there so many rules in the bible then? Could you be more making this up as you go along???
No Christianity is following the word of God. That involves rules I'm afraid.
The most controversial question of all, which he refused to answer: 12:04
A good interview. I thought the Archbishop came across very well. Very real.
Alistair Campbell interviewed like he'd never had an in-depth talk with a Christian before. ANY Christian. It seemed like he asked questions to try and unnerve Welby, not have a conversation. '"Didn't you have a breakdown?".....and "Yes I know you lost a child..." he said dismissively. Welby handled it honestly and met him with grace, which is much more than can be said for Campbell.
I'm warming to this man - - that's Welby, not the interviewer.
The interviewer asked legitimate questions which Welby refused to answer. You are clearly already religious and biased to make such a comment
Brilliant interview
“and god does me? how does he do me?” 😂
Very good discussion.
Portrays Campbell and Welby in a completely different light. Impressive.
“It’s all about knowing Jesus and God’s mercy.”
Perfect summary of the Christian stance.
Intriguing that Welby didn’t refer to Pope John-Paul II’s work ‘Theology of The Body’ that walks through the entire issue of human sexuality within a Christian context, it’s dilemmas and the response and compassionate support it requires of the Christian churches and humanity as a whole.
Stunning life story from Welby. Love the daydreaming observation.
Love how appalling Campbell’s research was at times 😂
The mention of Black Dog also shows a whole element of understanding and compassion.
Campbell’s fervent sister must be a real treasure too.
Brilliant interview.
Of course you should pause before answering important questions. It allows time for reflection and a proper response.
One of the funniest interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Brilliant and hilarious!
What's hilarious about it?
Why do God...and what sets you apart when you do God?...simple, you accept the sacrifice Jesus made for you and live accordingly.
I enjoyed this interview. Justin Welby comes across as completely genuine and honest and willing to consider other points of view whereas Alastair Campbell seems to be a lot more dogmatic with his atheism and unwilling to consider alternatives. Still, he does a good job with asking very good questions. Actually, they have both gone up in my estimation after seeing this.
Love the Archbishop and love god ✝️❤️
You can't have 2 lord, you have no clue about Jesus teaching.
They all wrong here
The Bible says....the fool in his heart says there is no God......
I once read a book that started with " once upon a time ".
At NO point did i believe the book was a true account of a historic event just because it claimed it was.
holdontoyourwig good for you dumpling cheeks....keep thinking that...
Psalm 14.
so strange that the Archbishop speaks in such a factual way without a shred of evidence to support his position.
Because it's a belief based on FAITH!!!!!
Not a shred? Surely you dont mean that. Maybe you think the evidence is not good enough, but you cant possibly mean there is 0 evidence.
@@lisarand7249 Faith is not without evidence. Blind faith and reasonable faith are not the same.
go on then provide evidence. If you can you will be very first person ever to do so. And of course if you can then we don't have to have faith. Your evidence will of course, by definition, will be based upon scientific evidence thus provable..
@@Baz63 As far as we can see everything that began to exist has a cause. The universe began to exist. Therefore the Universe has a cause.
According to the laws of nature, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Yet energy exists. The cause must be supernatural.
Have we all decided Alastair Campbell's an alright guy now? He seems to be squirming his way back into the mainstream, after being complicit in one of the biggest crimes against humanity in history. Just thought I'd remind everyone with short memories.
Not sure if he's an "alright guy", but I don't see what benefit there is to anyone if we protest against his involvement in the Iraq War by refusing to watch this very interesting interview.
The Archbishop is too guarded, too diplomatic, not wanting to ruffle feathers, very unlike Jesus or John the Baptist or Paul or Peter or the early apostles or disciples. No wonder Jesus attacked the religious leaders.
The wil of God is the same, in the twenty first century, as it was in the beginning when Almighty God gave us his laws. Greetings from Northern Ireland.
There is no good evidence any god exists and even less that you know what his will is. Religion is a man made invention. God is just humans inventing superman as a panacea for everything they don't know.
Great interview. Alastair Campbell is a fabulous interviewer: cheeky, down to earth and erudite. Swoon! Note to self: get a bible
Many people who mock Christian’s as uneducated or unthinking would do well to listen to learned & thoughtful people such as this
All Christians were at one time NON CHRISTIAN and all of us at times doubt
But we have thought it through and made a decision to follow Christ !!
Heather kell
Justin did not address the question fully about being born in Yemen and being raised in Islam.
Love this Archbishop of Canterbury. Eyes closed I'm hearing Eric Idle.
