I think what has killed Christ-centered Christianity is the excessive focus on self that's so prevalent in Christianity today. Once you take your eyes off of Jesus, youre sunk.
The way you said your phrase is correct. If it's not Christ centered it's self-centered. But Christ always pointed away from himself to the Father. Before I became agnostic I started believing the "problem" seemed more that people didn't know the love of the Father...
Very interesting. Are you saying we should be more spiritually focused on us (community) instead of our individual relationships with God. Tell me where religion I taught that way. I'd be into checking that out. It's the opposite of prosperity gospel, which I fined extremely flawed. It's like trickle down religion. The guy at the top gets rich, the rest of us get a warm fuzzy feeling.....if we're lucky. Joel Osteen really gets my dander up.
I'm a believer for years, and I believe NONE of us have the whole truth, but as far as I'm concerned I understand where Jay Bakker is coming from. He's right in many ways but also damage by his upbringing. IVE been damaged myself in many ways but this is why we need to lean on the Lord Jesus Christ. We are put here to love and be loved. God's job is to judge. We're all sinners and God already judged sin at the CROSS. There's no condemnation to those who are in Christ. My heart goes out to Jay B.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 Jay should read his Bible and either believe it or reject it. Jesus said he was the only way, if one doesn’t believe this they can’t call themselves a Christian.
I respect this man very much. Such an open and honest discussion about his family, beliefs, and background. As a conservative evangelical Christian myself, I don’t agree with everything he says , but I believe he has more more honesty and integrity than what I see from many conservative and progressive Christians today. There is too much “do as I say, not as I do”, along with a lust for power internally in our churches and on the political stage today. There is not enough focus on Jesus, our own integrity and honesty that should come from our Faith, while identifying and fighting against our owns sins of hypocrisy. Just look at our current president’s (Trump) lack or morals and values. Adultery, lying, immoral behavior, and yet a majority of conservative Christians have compromised their own values to support such a person. Yet, the same people who now support Trump were irate, and rightfully so, when Clinton had his affairs and lied. My Pastor always talks about the great falling away before the Jesus’ second coming, and I believe that this happening today. Too many people who say they are Believers, yet through their actions and words, they have fallen away and their faith has been compromised by the enemy.
@Bryon Stephens I prefer someone who is honest, has integrity, and has faith. Trump has none of these qualities. But, you are more than welcome to keep backing such a con man. You are naive, and you along with the rest of his cult are getting so played. If he wins the election, and it's a big if, people like you will be dropped by him faster than a hot potato. He will no longer need you and your votes anymore! All the support he gives Christians will be gone. Once a person outlives their usefulness, he dumps them. There are many examples of him doing this. You will find this out soon enough... if he wins.
His deception is very very sad!!! I pray his opinions have changed to believing Truth,otherwise he is a false prophet leading others astray,if in fact he is still leading blind sheep, who many,love it so! 😔
I understand exactly where he is. I grew up in the same type of culture and denomination, and I'm still deconstructing that dysfunctional foundation many years later. I, however, I am very sure of my faith in Jesus Christ, God's son, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I'm no longer wavering on these points. God bless Jay...he's been through so much!
rhomo hi... I'm also someone who has been through what you and Jay have...It took me a long time as well. Now looking back 40 yrs or so...we (Jay, you and me)are a by product of of our parents and people around us growing up, however not by any fault of ours did we know how to deal with the backlash we had to endure as a child or preteen. One thing I know is that no one is perfect. Beware of anyone who has all the answers, and has the voice of angel, if love, compassion, grace and forgiveness is not there then you know their agenda is for only for themselves. I pray that Jay will listen to the spirit within him. Keep asking questions, and he will be heard and led by the holy spirit and the true of Jesus.
@@jeanettesilhouette5678 We are out here in great abundance. Fundamentalist types are great at shutting down dialogue, intolerant of an conflicting view. I find faith to be deeply personal, have grown to accept that no one has all of the answers, and it's human to wonder about the possibilities. I reject much of what I was taught growing up, without rejecting their good intentions. I think it's so much easier for those who sign on to the package deal of religion. I have found a church community that is involved in community service. Find a church group that is feeding the hungry, helping people in real ways. Most cities have such churches. If the focus is on helping people, rather than fundraising, you'll find a community of like minded people. Steer clear of the evangelical churches, they are invested in wearing you down.
"I believe in God but I don't know what God is"....most humble and truthful words to come out of a spiritual leaders mouth. If a leader trys to sell that they understand it all, WALK AWAY.
@@jackiepowell7513 Jackie, we can believe that scripture without fully understanding God or God's plan. That's where faith comes in. My mom is the most faithful person I know but if she doesn't understand something, she admits it. That's humility and I respect that. She never had to make something up or try to 'sell me' on it the way I have seen so many others do. I grew up in a home where the males were very different than my mom, I had a brother who literally used his hands to inflict pain if you didn't believe his translation of the scriptures.
Jamie I loved your parents. You were so cute as a child. And the Goodman were awesome. They loved you and sister. Love is key. You will find your way for Jesus has his hand on you and your bloodline. I'm 76 and pray for you all❤️🙏😊😊

I feel as lost as a goose in a fog sometimes.. How does Jesus put up with my shenanigans? I believe by his grace and mercy I am saved.. It's a done deal cause he sealed the deal for me.
This is a brilliant young man. I can remember growing up a scripture being used to discourage interracial marriage. The "be not thou unevenly yoked" verse. It wasn't until way later in life that I was taught it means to align yourself with people who share similar beliefs with you. It's absolutely insane some of the control tactics I witnessed in the southern Baptist church during the 1970s and early 80s.
Yes, the Bakkers son, Jay, outshines them all. He's quite the intellect and honesty is a breath of fresh air. I did like his mom though, was her name Tammy Bakker?
@@jackiepowell7513 Hi Jackie. I didn't care for Jim Bakker much. Tammy was a hoot, liked her. Don't know much about the be daughter, but I was never impressed by her, but I could be wrong.
Yeah I can say that. Jesus says it.. He is THE way, THE truth and THE life. I agree with most everything else he talks about. This is the thing, that Jesus came to earth to make Himself real and relatable to us, yet Hes the God of the universe. I REALLY respect Jay for being honest in his walk though. its always ok to say "I'm really not sure"
Yes, exactly right, and it's to bad that religious authorities have perverted religion to cultivate their own wealth and power. At the end of the day the relationship we have with God is the most deeply personal thing we can experience. Thar there are corrupt individuals, who will dictate what we say to God, for a fee, or steer us towards a political position is most troubling.
Your not an atheist, no such creature, you hate God and you hate truth which is why you love Bakkers approach, you call yourself atheist because it gives you an air of sophistication (you think).
Jay, I think you are so brave. You've asked all the questions and expressed your concerns and doubts that we ALL have who have been taught a certain way. Where most do it in private out of some sort of fear [I guess], you have let everyone see your heart coming from an honest place. I think you get that from your mom. She was just always raw and real. I think people don't understand that "questioning God" and asking God questions are two different things. It is awesome to have a conversation with God. I love His casual reply. Don't know if you and I will end up in the same place with our thinking, but that doesn't matter does it. Much love to you my friend.
One of the best discussions on Christianity I've ever heard. Larry mentioned what Billy Graham told him. That was an eye opener, as I respect Billy Graham. Jay was correct on the birthday of Jesus. It was not in December, his conception was, giving Christ a 9 month gestation and birth in September, and clarifying that life begins at CONCEPTION. Also references to it being harvest time at his birth would be end of summer, September. Anyway, this interview is great for awareness and if I was a preacher I would show this interview to my flock for discussion. It would be a great platform to start the learning by bringing out the Strongs Concordance and translate back on your own through the 7 languages before it was translated to English. To see the other interpretations and available words that could also be used is the way to decifering many true possible meanings of scripture. Translate for yourself and you will see what I mean. Get a concordance. Learn, don't just believe what your preacher says.
@@hughhaefner3317 best book I have ever read: the PASSION (version of the New Testament.) If everyone just read that, if it were mandatory reading and teaching what a better place this world wd be. How different! How delightful we all wd be. Christ gave Himself fr this: Our absolute freedom and eternal life without parole.
Yeah we all know that the birth of Jesus didn't actually fall on December 25th. The whole Christmas celebration is not even biblical, there is nothing in the Bible that tells us to celebrate the birth of christ. We are to be in Christ and living with him daily for all those who have accepted him and follow him, but there's nothing in the Bible that dictates the celebration of Jesus birth. You need to be a little more informed about what you're talking about.
This young man's authenticity is like a breath of fresh air. We Christians are SO uncomfortable with anyone who believes differently. And sadder still, we are so unashamedly good at devouring our own. Thank you, Jay Bakker!!! I see a LOT off your mother in you!
Isn’t it funny how many here believe he’s not a true Christian, while others state he’s too religious when the FACT is, whether one agrees or not, is that none up us TRULY had all the answers. To think you are 100% enlightened is foolishness at any time.
@@karensparks2509 you are already taking that chance. Do you realize that Muslims think you’re going to Hell because you don’t worship the one true Allah?
This was one if not only the most inspirational videos about religion I have have every witness. I am a old man of 72 , and have been flipp flopping back and worth about religion. This interview had a profound effect on me. , especially with all Jay’s answers to all the questions he was asked. Jim andTammy did a over the top superb job raising this outstanding human being. I would like to know a little more about him , his church and his followers. I bet they are my kind of people.
Yes it’s true , god does say to love everyone because we are all sinners alike, but he expects us to turn away from all sin when we accept him in our hearts and choose to walk with him. It goes the same with the gays , yes love them ! Of course but he also expects them to turn away from there sinful behavior as well and to not stay in a homosexual relationship. That’s gods word and not me passing judgment on anyone.

Christians are not thought to hate on gay ppl or families, we are not thought racism and if he would read his Bible he would know better. We don’t hate the person we don’t tolerate the sin.

Say whatever you want about his family, but his mom (Tammy Faye) was much loved by the gay community even after the scandal subsided. She was relatable to us, wasn’t afraid or bothered by her quirkiness, and she was one of the first people in the public eye to hold a man dying of AIDS in the 80s and say “your life mattered and you are loved even now.”

We are all one RACE derived from Adam and Eve. Why do we hate each other??? God is love and a true Christian loves everyone
Had him on my radio show about 10 years ago. Felt so sorry for him. He's very honest, but very confused, and has drawn a lot of confused people to himself. His shallow understanding of the Bible and history is remarkable. He is so jaded, but it's cool to be jaded and skeptical today. So he revels in the commonality of it all

@@johncounsell3917 Everyone has there own journey. The path is not always the same. I don't necessarily think people who divert from scripture are naive, or unholy, or unworthy. If the man is selflessly helping others, I suspect he will be well received when his time comes. I have known atheists and agnostics who were kind, trustworthy and helpful. Religious beliefs and participation are not reliable predictors of a person's character. I find that I would trust Jay Bakker, before I would trust his con running parents. Jay is interesting. I hope the apple fell far from the tree. Will notoriety and success lead him astray also.
Bad title. It's not Christian views, it's does what you believe align with the biblical View? Anybody can have a say in what they believe Christian views should be. But the bigger question is does what you believe align with a Biblical world view from a New Covenant standpoint understanding the cross and the resurrection in the word of God as an extension from that place? What does God's word say?
Yes he is honest which is so appealing does not profess to be a Christian in fact just the opposite he says he doesn’t believe or know God so he just prays to ‘someone above’ he is only 60% convinced there is only one God. So please believers we cannot hold him or his theology to Bible Christianity with only one God. Glad he is searching when the student is ready The yea her will come. Blessings
THE TRUTH IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR IDEOLOGY IS, GOD HAS NO NEED OF YOUR LIMITED MIND OR OPINION. YOU DO NOT BASE YOUR BELIEFS ON MAN YOU BASE IT ON FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. POOR POOR MAN☹️☹️☹️
I think there should be statues of Jim and Tammy made and put on Heritage for them. This land belonged to God and still does. They made a huge impact in good for many people. Also Tammy deserves a better grace/monument!
The bible does NOT say that. There r many conditions that Christ laid down in the Word… take up His cross and follow Him. The truth is hidden from the world that’s perishing. And His wrath is on the children of disobedience. He is coming back to judge the quick and the dead. We must adhere to His total revelation if we want to belong to Him. Very straightforward. 😇🙏
I hope one day this guy will truly receive Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. He's not worse than anyone else but he does not represent true biblical Christianity.

@ 25:40 he says Jesus was probably "torn" about His own birth? So I guess Jesus didn't know what was going on? If this Jay Bakker believes something like this, then there's a good chance he's following some other version of Jesus. Definitely not the Jesus of the Bible, who clearly understood everything that was going on, as He claimed to be God incarnate (John 1:1, John 14:6). A Christian believes in the Jesus of the Bible. If Jay Bakker doesn't, then why is he speaking for Christianity if he isn't a Christian?
I don't know what that means? The link I posted, which is from a secular site, shows that Jesus has a number of historical FACTS associated with Him. So saying it's a fairytale doesn't go along with actual ancient history.
I don't think it's for you or me to decide if he is a real Christian. He on the path. Like you and me will be judged on his motives and actions. Fundamentalism has been a very divisive movement in modern Christianity. If a man self describes as Christian, I take him at his word, even though he has a different world view, or approaches his faith from an angle thar may appear obtuse to me.
@@markrichards6863 A Christian fully believes & accepts Romans 10:9 in their heart. If one doesn't do that, then that person is not a Christian. It doesn't matter what the actions look like, because if that basic point isn't held then a person is not yet on the path.
@@TruthSpeaks You can study scripture until your eyes fall out. Knowledge of scripture doesn't make you a good and worthy person. I've personally found that confessing and repenting are not adequate. Making amends where possible, makes me whole again with the Lord. I think a lot of Christians hide behind scripture. You have to walk the talk. Interestingly, I do know some non-Christians that lead a more righteous life than some of the Christians I know. I do not accept that a good and kind person, who leads a righteous life would be penalized with eternal Damnation. Belief otherwise seems very ego driven. God loves all of his children equally. Thumping your religious text is a show, to attracted attention. You are not able to save souls. That's up to the almighty. I do not seek your approval of my beliefs. Faith is a deeply personal experience.
Jay Baker, while it is Noble that you love gay people you are deceiving them when you lead them to believe that homosexuality is not sin! The Bible clearly calls it an abomination and says that those that practice it shall not inherit the kingdom of God!
He now so confused about whats the bible truths any more. So sad. God don't hate gay people but the sin he's against. I hope he gets back to beleave the bible truths again.
@@RetroAngel it would have said it in those exact words if that's what God meant. There's more than one verse in the Bible that talks about this type of sin and it's clear what God means. Just because you want God to allow it, you are twisting the Bible to align with what you WANT it to say..
god is too big for one religion....we don't know, we like to think we know....the truth is we don't....look up, look down, look out, look around,,,,,it's a crazy world outside and i am about to (or is it i won't) lose my mind....
This poor guy is sadly so mixed up. The Bible is God’s Word. This does not mean a real Christian does not hate any body, but rather loves their enemies. God is able to change a person’s heart, and make then a new creature. Jay is sadly lacking the reality of reassurance no matter what or how people live or react. With out knowing God is real, and Jesus is the only way to heaven it is very frightening about his salvation. Christianity is real, but Jay Bakker truly is not.
If he can’t say that Jesus Christ is the only way to God, Heaven, and eternal life, then he is not a Christian. Does he not know this is what the Gospel is about? Not a Christian preacher. Just a con man like his daddy.

That's pretty vague. Where are you on the spectrum. What is your view. I'm Catholic but don't buy into it lock, stock and barrel. I think Jay is moving in a good direction.
@@TheSacredlizzy I never said it was. I was criticizing the pius, exclusive attitude, thar regurgitating scripture would gain someone favor with God. I agree wholeheartedly that actions speak louder than words. To extrapolate. I know Christians that are wonderful people, helpful and kind. I know Christians that talk the talk, but make little effort beyond that. I would make the same statement about non-Christian and even atheist people I know. Labeling yourself Christian does not guarantee nor even speak to the content of your character. All too often people hide behind their labels. Where I go to church, the winners are the ones feeding the hungry and getting involved in community projects. Study scripture all you want, you need to step up at some point. Bible thumping is a low value activity. If that's what you're pushing, you don't really have much to offer. Step aside, I'd rather be actually helping someone.
As a person who sees Christianity, and religion in general, for what it really is, I absolutely LOVE interviews like this posted here on the RUclips’s, they reveal (especially this dude and this video) Christianity for what it really is BUT NOT Because of anything Bakker Jr. says in the video, but by the comments from all the so called “Christians” on this here thread. Give a “Christian” a chance to comment on a video like this one and they will ALWAYS reveal themselves for who they actually are. Christianity has to be one the most ironic ideologies ever created due to the nature of what the teachings of Jesus actually are versus the way jesus’ followers interpret/pervert them and use them to do the exact opposite of what he says. THE WORST, most hypocritical, immoral, and unethical people I’ve ever met in my 43 years here on this earth have called themselves Christians. I used to think people in general were smart, but sadly it took me many years to come to a realization that I shouldn’t expect anything less from people who chose to champion a religion which is blatantly based on a human sacrificial narrative... it’s right there in the MAIN REQUIRED BELIEF!
Jason Ferguson Your god created a human version of himself in order to sacrifice the human version of himself who was also his “only begotten son” (whatever that means) as some kind of symbolic abstract gesture as the “ultimate act of love.” I wouldn’t seek the christian’s god’s face to save my life. You worship a narcissistic murderous dictator, and i would imagine in order to champion such a character one must have a shriveled black heart. What you are expressing with your comment is called projection. So save your words, you’re gonna need them with your human sacrificial religion.

I think what has killed Christ-centered Christianity is the excessive focus on self that's so prevalent in Christianity today. Once you take your eyes off of Jesus, youre sunk.
The way you said your phrase is correct. If it's not Christ centered it's self-centered. But Christ always pointed away from himself to the Father. Before I became agnostic I started believing the "problem" seemed more that people didn't know the love of the Father...
People do NOT want to die to self these days, but they probably never did.
Very interesting. Are you saying we should be more spiritually focused on us (community) instead of our individual relationships with God. Tell me where religion I taught that way. I'd be into checking that out. It's the opposite of prosperity gospel, which I fined extremely flawed. It's like trickle down religion. The guy at the top gets rich, the rest of us get a warm fuzzy feeling.....if we're lucky. Joel Osteen really gets my dander up.
I'm a believer for years, and I believe NONE of us have the whole truth, but as far as I'm concerned I understand where Jay Bakker is coming from. He's right in many ways but also damage by his upbringing. IVE been damaged myself in many ways but this is why we need to lean on the Lord Jesus Christ. We are put here to love and be loved. God's job is to judge. We're all sinners and God already judged sin at the CROSS. There's no condemnation to those who are in Christ. My heart goes out to Jay B.
JAY BAKKER IS A COMPROMISING LIBERAL.
JAY BAKKER IS A LIBERAL AND A BAD EXAMPLE OF A CHRISTIAN.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Jay should read his Bible and either believe it or reject it. Jesus said he was the only way, if one doesn’t believe this they can’t call themselves a Christian.
I respect this man very much. Such an open and honest discussion about his family, beliefs, and background. As a conservative evangelical Christian myself, I don’t agree with everything he says , but I believe he has more more honesty and integrity than what I see from many conservative and progressive Christians today. There is too much “do as I say, not as I do”, along with a lust for power internally in our churches and on the political stage today. There is not enough focus on Jesus, our own integrity and honesty that should come from our Faith, while identifying and fighting against our owns sins of hypocrisy. Just look at our current president’s (Trump) lack or morals and values. Adultery, lying, immoral behavior, and yet a majority of conservative Christians have compromised their own values to support such a person. Yet, the same people who now support Trump were irate, and rightfully so, when Clinton had his affairs and lied.
My Pastor always talks about the great falling away before the Jesus’ second coming, and I believe that this happening today. Too many people who say they are Believers, yet through their actions and words, they have fallen away and their faith has been compromised by the enemy.
Very well put my friend.
Maybe he'll send you some free snake oil! LOL! The man is a con-artist. Such a fool!
You respect this man very much, then you go on to lecture about what true Christianity should be? Maybe your as confused as Bakker.
@@jasonferguson6753 the confusion is yours. It's obvious what I wrote went completely over your little head. Go troll somewhere else.
@Bryon Stephens I prefer someone who is honest, has integrity, and has faith. Trump has none of these qualities. But, you are more than welcome to keep backing such a con man. You are naive, and you along with the rest of his cult are getting so played. If he wins the election, and it's a big if, people like you will be dropped by him faster than a hot potato. He will no longer need you and your votes anymore! All the support he gives Christians will be gone. Once a person outlives their usefulness, he dumps them. There are many examples of him doing this. You will find this out soon enough... if he wins.
His honesty is refreshing.
Refreshing to demon's.
End times exactly
It really is
Llll
His deception is very very sad!!! I pray his opinions have changed to believing Truth,otherwise he is a false prophet leading others astray,if in fact he is still leading blind sheep, who many,love it so! 😔
The poor fella has never asked the Lord to reveal himself to him, but instead has relied upon his own mind to lead him.
I understand exactly where he is. I grew up in the same type of culture and denomination, and I'm still deconstructing that dysfunctional foundation many years later. I, however, I am very sure of my faith in Jesus Christ, God's son, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I'm no longer wavering on these points. God bless Jay...he's been through so much!
rhomo hi... I'm also someone who has been through what you and Jay have...It took me a long time as well. Now looking back 40 yrs or so...we (Jay, you and me)are a by product of of our parents and people around us growing up, however not by any fault of ours did we know how to deal with the backlash we had to endure as a child or preteen. One thing I know is that no one is perfect. Beware of anyone who has all the answers, and has the voice of angel, if love, compassion, grace and forgiveness is not there then you know their agenda is for only for themselves. I pray that Jay will listen to the spirit within him. Keep asking questions, and he will be heard and led by the holy spirit and the true of Jesus.
Rhonda, I totally relate to what you are saying! I don't know anyone else like us. But I'm sure they're out there.
@@myrnamiranda895 Spot-on Myrna.
Yes I would also have to say beware of anyone or groups who profess to know all of THEE answers.
@@jeanettesilhouette5678 We are out here in great abundance. Fundamentalist types are great at shutting down dialogue, intolerant of an conflicting view. I find faith to be deeply personal, have grown to accept that no one has all of the answers, and it's human to wonder about the possibilities. I reject much of what I was taught growing up, without rejecting their good intentions. I think it's so much easier for those who sign on to the package deal of religion. I have found a church community that is involved in community service. Find a church group that is feeding the hungry, helping people in real ways. Most cities have such churches. If the focus is on helping people, rather than fundraising, you'll find a community of like minded people. Steer clear of the evangelical churches, they are invested in wearing you down.
"I believe in God but I don't know what God is"....most humble and truthful words to come out of a spiritual leaders mouth. If a leader trys to sell that they understand it all, WALK AWAY.
This fails in the face of: I am the way , the truth and the life ; no man comes to the Father except through Me". Pretty simple yet truth
@@jackiepowell7513 Jackie, we can believe that scripture without fully understanding God or God's plan. That's where faith comes in. My mom is the most faithful person I know but if she doesn't understand something, she admits it. That's humility and I respect that. She never had to make something up or try to 'sell me' on it the way I have seen so many others do. I grew up in a home where the males were very different than my mom, I had a brother who literally used his hands to inflict pain if you didn't believe his translation of the scriptures.
Jamie I loved your parents. You were so cute as a child. And the Goodman were awesome. They loved you and sister. Love is key. You will find your way for Jesus has his hand on you and your bloodline. I'm 76 and pray for you all❤️🙏😊😊
The comments here speak volumes about why Jay left the church he grew up in. Tough crowd! You don't have to agree with someone to love them.

The religious right is an intolerant lot, don't know how to.love unconditionally in my experience.
Amen!
@@markrichards6863 You got that right!
You will know them by their fruits. Jesus said, if you love Me you will keep my commandments. Jesus is the o my way.
I feel as lost as a goose in a fog sometimes..
How does Jesus put up with my shenanigans?
I believe by his grace and mercy I am saved.. It's a done deal cause he sealed the deal for me.
This is a brilliant young man. I can remember growing up a scripture being used to discourage interracial marriage. The "be not thou unevenly yoked" verse. It wasn't until way later in life that I was taught it means to align yourself with people who share similar beliefs with you. It's absolutely insane some of the control tactics I witnessed in the southern Baptist church during the 1970s and early 80s.
Yes, the Bakkers son, Jay, outshines them all. He's quite the intellect and honesty is a breath of fresh air. I did like his mom though, was her name Tammy Bakker?
Wow I'm sorry you went through the verse being taken out of context when it came to interracial dating.
@@hughhaefner3317 I liked both Jim and Tammy.
@@jackiepowell7513 Hi Jackie. I didn't care for Jim Bakker much. Tammy was a hoot, liked her. Don't know much about the be daughter, but I was never impressed by her, but I could be wrong.
Yeah I can say that. Jesus says it.. He is THE way, THE truth and THE life. I agree with most everything else he talks about. This is the thing, that Jesus came to earth to make Himself real and relatable to us, yet Hes the God of the universe. I REALLY respect Jay for being honest in his walk though. its always ok to say "I'm really not sure"
Yes, exactly right, and it's to bad that religious authorities have perverted religion to cultivate their own wealth and power. At the end of the day the relationship we have with God is the most deeply personal thing we can experience. Thar there are corrupt individuals, who will dictate what we say to God, for a fee, or steer us towards a political position is most troubling.
I'm an atheist, meaning I don't believe in God. That being said, I like Jay Bakker's approach to Christianity and religion.
Because he’s not a Christian , he hates God. Like you
I didn't say that I *hate* God. How can I hate something, or someone, I don't believe in? I have no hate for anyone. People are people.
Jason Carpp oh no you know he’s real and you fear death. You hate him.
Elizabeth F shame on you. You ooze hate.
Your not an atheist, no such creature, you hate God and you hate truth which is why you love Bakkers approach, you call yourself atheist because it gives you an air of sophistication (you think).
Jay, I think you are so brave. You've asked all the questions and expressed your concerns and doubts that we ALL have who have been taught a certain way. Where most do it in private out of some sort of fear [I guess], you have let everyone see your heart coming from an honest place. I think you get that from your mom. She was just always raw and real.
I think people don't understand that "questioning God" and asking God questions are two different things. It is awesome to have a conversation with God. I love His casual reply.
Don't know if you and I will end up in the same place with our thinking, but that doesn't matter does it. Much love to you my friend.
That was sweet.
One of the best discussions on Christianity I've ever heard. Larry mentioned what Billy Graham told him. That was an eye opener, as I respect Billy Graham. Jay was correct on the birthday of Jesus. It was not in December, his conception was, giving Christ a 9 month gestation and birth in September, and clarifying that life begins at CONCEPTION. Also references to it being harvest time at his birth would be end of summer, September. Anyway, this interview is great for awareness and if I was a preacher I would show this interview to my flock for discussion. It would be a great platform to start the learning by bringing out the Strongs Concordance and translate back on your own through the 7 languages before it was translated to English. To see the other interpretations and available words that could also be used is the way to decifering many true possible meanings of scripture. Translate for yourself and you will see what I mean. Get a concordance. Learn, don't just believe what your preacher says.
Be as the Berean
A sad day when the truth of Christ gets this distorted. Poor guy. Tammy Faye and Jim were not great examples or parents.
@@buelahland yes, how unfortunate to put that on your child.
@@hughhaefner3317 best book I have ever read: the PASSION (version of the New Testament.) If everyone just read that, if it were mandatory reading and teaching what a better place this world wd be. How different! How delightful we all wd be. Christ gave Himself fr this: Our absolute freedom and eternal life without parole.
Yeah we all know that the birth of Jesus didn't actually fall on December 25th. The whole Christmas celebration is not even biblical, there is nothing in the Bible that tells us to celebrate the birth of christ. We are to be in Christ and living with him daily for all those who have accepted him and follow him, but there's nothing in the Bible that dictates the celebration of Jesus birth. You need to be a little more informed about what you're talking about.
Great interview Larry, thank you! Carlos was amazing with his theory and thinking great to hear :)
He seems like a sweet man.
This young man's authenticity is like a breath of fresh air. We Christians are SO uncomfortable with anyone who believes differently. And sadder still, we are so unashamedly good at devouring our own. Thank you, Jay Bakker!!! I see a LOT off your mother in you!
I admire Jay. He's real & honest on his beliefs.
Soooo refreshing.. Like walking into the land of the real.
I like him.
Wow he looks just like his dad
Isn’t it funny how many here believe he’s not a true Christian, while others state he’s too religious when the FACT is, whether one agrees or not, is that none up us TRULY had all the answers. To think you are 100% enlightened is foolishness at any time.
I'm not willing to take that chance. Are you?
@@karensparks2509 you are already taking that chance.
Do you realize that Muslims think you’re going to Hell because you don’t worship the one true Allah?
He had a messed up childhood it doesn't surprise me.
Pamela Cook I agree....he went through as a child...his parents failed ministry and parenting....truly sad.
MRS.TAMMY BAKKER BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF ALMIGHTY GOD. SHE IS IN HEAVEN.
Christianity is not just a bunch of good values, it is a life in relation to Jesus, for God sake...
And what did Jesus preach? “Love your neighbor as yourself”.
@@wyattmcgee1 of course He did, but He also said, "go and sin no more", and "If you love me, keep my commands"...
This was one if not only the most inspirational videos about religion I have have every witness. I am a old man of 72 , and have been flipp flopping back and worth about religion. This interview had a profound effect on me. , especially with all Jay’s answers to all the questions he was asked. Jim andTammy did a over the top superb job raising this outstanding human being. I would like to know a little more about him , his church and his followers. I bet they are my kind of people.
Jay you don't know but that does not mean nobody knows. Speak for yourself
Yes it’s true , god does say to love everyone because we are all sinners alike, but he expects us to turn away from all sin when we accept him in our hearts and choose to walk with him. It goes the same with the gays , yes love them ! Of course but he also expects them to turn away from there sinful behavior as well and to not stay in a homosexual relationship. That’s gods word and not me passing judgment on anyone.
First time in a long time I don't hate religion listen to this guy, makes me like spiritually again, he's good!
Either you are saved by Jesus or you are not! I had a dramatic soul saving at age 27. Jesus power by faith. I'm 76. It hard for me to hear such a precious young man talk like he doesn't know. You will know upon know with no doubts! Prayers Jamie!🙏
great interview, would have loved more
I love Tammy Faye, his mother. She was truly a lovely lady. She did a lot for Haitians's children. Glad to see her progressive son.
An honest , humble and nonjudgmental preacher...how rare. Even Mother Teresa questioned her faith and biblical teachings.
R Gallagher That’s why the poor wretch gnashes her teeth in outer darkness.
And thank God for it(them).
Looks so much like Jim Bakker
Christians are not thought to hate on gay ppl or families, we are not thought racism and if he would read his Bible he would know better. We don’t hate the person we don’t tolerate the sin.
The Bible is the word of God.

Right. That would be his scam artist father.
His view is shared by many. You shouldn't be so quick to shun then. That's the problem with your way of believing, you shouldn't shut us out.
Say whatever you want about his family, but his mom (Tammy Faye) was much loved by the gay community even after the scandal subsided. She was relatable to us, wasn’t afraid or bothered by her quirkiness, and she was one of the first people in the public eye to hold a man dying of AIDS in the 80s and say “your life mattered and you are loved even now.”

I think "God" is the acceptable term in our society for a being that is above our intelligence
Sad that his dad didn’t learn anything and is still playing the con.

The church is already a social club
@@JJacob72 You are giving 100% FACT! That's the reason Jesus warned that on judgment day the majority of people calling themselves Christian would be turned away & thrown into the everlasting fire! God help us all!!

We are all one RACE derived from Adam and Eve. Why do we hate each other??? God is love and a true Christian loves everyone
Outstanding interview!
Had him on my radio show about 10 years ago. Felt so sorry for him. He's very honest, but very confused, and has drawn a lot of confused people to himself. His shallow understanding of the Bible and history is remarkable. He is so jaded, but it's cool to be jaded and skeptical today. So he revels in the commonality of it all

@@johncounsell3917 Everyone has there own journey. The path is not always the same. I don't necessarily think people who divert from scripture are naive, or unholy, or unworthy. If the man is selflessly helping others, I suspect he will be well received when his time comes. I have known atheists and agnostics who were kind, trustworthy and helpful. Religious beliefs and participation are not reliable predictors of a person's character. I find that I would trust Jay Bakker, before I would trust his con running parents. Jay is interesting. I hope the apple fell far from the tree. Will notoriety and success lead him astray also.
Bad title. It's not Christian views, it's does what you believe align with the biblical View? Anybody can have a say in what they believe Christian views should be. But the bigger question is does what you believe align with a Biblical world view from a New Covenant standpoint understanding the cross and the resurrection in the word of God as an extension from that place? What does God's word say?
Love is the higher law! So true!
Seeking "confusion" more like it.
I agree with you. I don't know why people make Christianity so difficult?
I'm confused by him 🤯
Yes he is honest which is so appealing does not profess to be a Christian in fact just the opposite he says he doesn’t believe or know God so he just prays to ‘someone above’ he is only 60% convinced there is only one God. So please believers we cannot hold him or his theology to Bible Christianity with only one God. Glad he is searching when the student is ready The yea her will come. Blessings
Jay Bakker, the truth is alluded to in John 14:6. But, you know that....
THE TRUTH IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR IDEOLOGY IS, GOD HAS NO NEED OF YOUR LIMITED MIND OR OPINION. YOU DO NOT BASE YOUR BELIEFS ON MAN YOU BASE IT ON FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. POOR POOR MAN☹️☹️☹️
I think there should be statues of Jim and Tammy made and put on Heritage for them. This land belonged to God and still does. They made a huge impact in good for many people. Also Tammy deserves a better grace/monument!
I wonder if he’s gay or has gay tendencies - that’s typically when you see an ex Christian rejecting the truth Of God’s word.
😔 Hopefully not
“God’s word” huh? Says who?
Sad (to read).
Love this guy! God loves unconditionally.
J Social that’s not what the Bible says. At all.
Elizabeth F His dad knew the Bible and was getting in the fanny-
The Bible says if you are not born again through faith in Jesus alone, your father is the Devil.
@@TheSacredlizzy so what? Who cares what the Bible says? Why should anyone care?
The bible does NOT say that. There r many conditions that Christ laid down in the Word… take up His cross and follow Him. The truth is hidden from the world that’s perishing. And His wrath is on the children of disobedience. He is coming back to judge the quick and the dead. We must adhere to His total revelation if we want to belong to Him. Very straightforward. 😇🙏
awesome..... this makes sense.
I hope one day this guy will truly receive Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. He's not worse than anyone else but he does not represent true biblical Christianity.

Nice to know all those years ago he was so progressive and inclusive he helped usher in the post birth abortions we have today.
@ 25:40 he says Jesus was probably "torn" about His own birth? So I guess Jesus didn't know what was going on? If this Jay Bakker believes something like this, then there's a good chance he's following some other version of Jesus. Definitely not the Jesus of the Bible, who clearly understood everything that was going on, as He claimed to be God incarnate (John 1:1, John 14:6). A Christian believes in the Jesus of the Bible. If Jay Bakker doesn't, then why is he speaking for Christianity if he isn't a Christian?
www.livescience.com/28304-facts-about-jesus.html Fairytale?
I don't know what that means? The link I posted, which is from a secular site, shows that Jesus has a number of historical FACTS associated with Him. So saying it's a fairytale doesn't go along with actual ancient history.
I don't think it's for you or me to decide if he is a real Christian. He on the path. Like you and me will be judged on his motives and actions. Fundamentalism has been a very divisive movement in modern Christianity. If a man self describes as Christian, I take him at his word, even though he has a different world view, or approaches his faith from an angle thar may appear obtuse to me.
@@markrichards6863 A Christian fully believes & accepts Romans 10:9 in their heart. If one doesn't do that, then that person is not a Christian. It doesn't matter what the actions look like, because if that basic point isn't held then a person is not yet on the path.
@@TruthSpeaks You can study scripture until your eyes fall out. Knowledge of scripture doesn't make you a good and worthy person. I've personally found that confessing and repenting are not adequate. Making amends where possible, makes me whole again with the Lord. I think a lot of Christians hide behind scripture. You have to walk the talk. Interestingly, I do know some non-Christians that lead a more righteous life than some of the Christians I know. I do not accept that a good and kind person, who leads a righteous life would be penalized with eternal Damnation. Belief otherwise seems very ego driven. God loves all of his children equally. Thumping your religious text is a show, to attracted attention. You are not able to save souls. That's up to the almighty. I do not seek your approval of my beliefs. Faith is a deeply personal experience.
Jay Baker, while it is Noble that you love gay people you are deceiving them when you lead them to believe that homosexuality is not sin! The Bible clearly calls it an abomination and says that those that practice it shall not inherit the kingdom of God!
Did you know most of those passages are actually talking about the abominable act of having sex as a spiritual ritual to the Greek/Roman gods?
He now so confused about whats the bible truths any more. So sad. God don't hate gay people but the sin he's against. I hope he gets back to beleave the bible truths again.
@@RetroAngel it would have said it in those exact words if that's what God meant. There's more than one verse in the Bible that talks about this type of sin and it's clear what God means. Just because you want God to allow it, you are twisting the Bible to align with what you WANT it to say..
Amen! Perfectly said
How do you partially believe in God ?
god is too big for one religion....we don't know, we like to think we know....the truth is we don't....look up, look down, look out, look around,,,,,it's a crazy world outside and i am about to (or is it i won't) lose my mind....
Yes.
Did I just hear him say he was Gay?
No, he's just gay-friendly.
This poor guy is sadly so mixed up. The Bible is God’s Word. This does not mean a real Christian does not hate any body, but rather loves their enemies. God is able to change a person’s heart, and make then a new creature. Jay is sadly lacking the reality of reassurance no matter what or how people live or react. With out knowing God is real, and Jesus is the only way to heaven it is very frightening about his salvation. Christianity is real, but Jay Bakker truly is not.
If he can’t say that Jesus Christ is the only way to God, Heaven, and eternal life, then he is not a Christian. Does he not know this is what the Gospel is about? Not a Christian preacher. Just a con man like his daddy.
AMEN!
So sad! And he will be held far more accountable for anyone he led astray. Lord have mercy upon him!

It’s wasn’t your fault you were confused when young but it is now
I've heard of his parents, Jim and (the late) Tammy Faye Bakker. But I've never heard of Jay Bakker.
His name is Jaime but now goes by "Jay."
His name is Jaime Charles, currently Jay.
@@brendagiacobello2899 Jaime Charles *"Jay"* Bakker.
Your welcome (because now you hopefully have appreciated the interview).
So sad. Such a confused individual. Hope Jay comes to his senses before he dies.

Really enjoyed this interview. Honest guy.
Warning: Jessica Hawn was not harmed in this video.
Um I saw the showing their referring to and he never claimed it cured the corona virus, only that it might help the symptoms. I mean even Tylenol might help with a symptom.
Christian agnostic? No such thing. He's apostate.
I am a forme evangelical. Now a proud apostate. Don't need that religious Bible crap!
So sad to hear what Jerry Falwell did.
Forgeries in the Bible. He is so lost.
@@ramontolentino9436 you are a deceiver not a Christian. You don't fool. me
Love this guy.
He's soooooooo right!
BUT JESUS NEVER AND WILL NEVER FAIL!
This man clearly hates anything Christian; I mean, man! But the worst part is he goes around saying he's a Christian, which gives him a pass?
He is a Christian as much as you are.
This guy needs to get saved, he talks about the "forgeries and mistakes" in the Bible. Not in my Bible.
Love enemies but don’t tolerate or hang with evil!!
I'm not exactly sure what your point is. Please elaborate. Be specific.
Christians are on a spectrum we’re all human and have a world view.
That's pretty vague. Where are you on the spectrum. What is your view. I'm Catholic but don't buy into it lock, stock and barrel. I think Jay is moving in a good direction.
Image of his dad.
Well he’s def not a Christian, so... there is that
He’s not a Hypocrite
chief tp ok :) sorry to hear that ! The Bible says all are the worst. Christians aren’t better just saved
You seem very comfortable deciding who gets to be a Christian. Your approach is flawed.
@@markrichards6863 nah the Bible does that and it says we will know them by their fruit. Gods word isn’t flawed.
@@TheSacredlizzy I never said it was. I was criticizing the pius, exclusive attitude, thar regurgitating scripture would gain someone favor with God. I agree wholeheartedly that actions speak louder than words. To extrapolate. I know Christians that are wonderful people, helpful and kind. I know Christians that talk the talk, but make little effort beyond that. I would make the same statement about non-Christian and even atheist people I know. Labeling yourself Christian does not guarantee nor even speak to the content of your character. All too often people hide behind their labels. Where I go to church, the winners are the ones feeding the hungry and getting involved in community projects. Study scripture all you want, you need to step up at some point. Bible thumping is a low value activity. If that's what you're pushing, you don't really have much to offer. Step aside, I'd rather be actually helping someone.
There s not a license; because " sin unto death" in First John. God is not mocked.
As a person who sees Christianity, and religion in general, for what it really is, I absolutely LOVE interviews like this posted here on the RUclips’s, they reveal (especially this dude and this video) Christianity for what it really is
BUT NOT
Because of anything Bakker Jr. says in the video, but by the comments from all the so called “Christians” on this here thread.
Give a “Christian” a chance to comment on a video like this one and they will ALWAYS reveal themselves for who they actually are.
Christianity has to be one the most ironic ideologies ever created due to the nature of what the teachings of Jesus actually are versus the way jesus’ followers interpret/pervert them and use them to do the exact opposite of what he says.
THE WORST, most hypocritical, immoral, and unethical people I’ve ever met in my 43 years here on this earth have called themselves Christians.
I used to think people in general were smart, but sadly it took me many years to come to a realization that I shouldn’t expect anything less from people who chose to champion a religion which is blatantly based on a human sacrificial narrative...
it’s right there in the MAIN REQUIRED BELIEF!
Eddie Perez your heart is sick and black, seek Gods face for a new one.
Jason Ferguson
Your god created a human version of himself in order to sacrifice the human version of himself who was also his “only begotten son” (whatever that means) as some kind of symbolic abstract gesture as the “ultimate act of love.”
I wouldn’t seek the christian’s god’s face to save my life. You worship a narcissistic murderous dictator, and i would imagine in order to champion such a character one must have a shriveled black heart. What you are expressing with your comment is called projection.
So save your words, you’re gonna need them with your human sacrificial religion.
