Good news for Paul Rudd, Jesus is alive, he can ask Him that question right now
Better yet, he can open a bible and see what the deal is.
Indeed 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
And receive total silence in reply. Maybe that's the whole reason Mr Rudd would like to meet him?
@@johnmichaelson9173 At the advice of a pastor, I once went outside and sat in nature by myself and prayed, telling God I would be quiet and just listen for him to speak to me, if he wanted to. I was quiet and waited for a while. Maybe I didn't wait long enough, because I heard and felt nothing. I still believe God, and my faith and trust is in Christ alone, and my life and heart are increasingly submitted to him as time goes on. But in some ways, he has chosen to be silent to me.
@@wilkesreid😂 God made a donkey talk in the Bible but won’t talk to you. Hmmm
My heart actually ached when the 2 youngsters laughed about meeting Jesus.😢
I confess I did the same in my younger days. Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. I can't guarantee these kids will have ears for the word, but I'm sure they will remember Paul Rudd's boldness in this video.
if you spent any time in Hollywood you'd understand it. Hwood is a weird paradigm. You have way more underground Christians than youd think. 99.9% of Hollywood is from either Catholic Eastern Seaboard or Evangelical Midwest. They're all shamed into being quiet about their beliefs from second they show up to get work.
I’d be really interested in hearing from them why they laughed, what was funny.....
@@noble604 It's pretty obvious why they laughed, and Paul knew it. That's why he instantly said "hey, He existed. We KNOW He existed". These youths personify how godless and loss their generation is. Christ is nothing but a punchline to them because they reject the idea that He ever existed.
@@thetruthchannel349 There are no true Christians in the entertainment industry. Claiming Christianity or possessing a shallow belief in Christ's existence does not make someone a Christian. Christ Himself said there would be a lot more ppl pretending to be Christians in the last days than true Christians. Even in the 1st century, there were various heretical camps claiming to be Christian.
The mockery is so sad to see. They won’t be laughing when they meet Jesus.
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Youll be crying knowing jesus isn't The name of The Messiah!
The trouble with that is they will never meet jesus, as he has been dead for 2000 odd years. And even if he does, you will never know about it, so there is no deterrence. Moral superiority is a stinky cologne.
@@solarflair2605not mine.
@@HansZarkovPhDfunny coming from a guy with PhD in his RUclips name
Paul Rudd's dad was part of the Titanic historical community I belonged to. He's a good guy. He grew up around his dad's Titanic obsession and met many of the aging survivors before they passed away. He had even auditioned for "Jack Dawson" but spent so much time talking about Titanic they forgot to test his acting skills. Anyway, I love Paul Rudd. And yes, I was disturbed by the two young actors who laughed. Paul was brilliant in his response.
Jesus is Lord
Hallelujah
Prayerfully Paul Rudd was being serious. He seemed like he was. 🙏🙏
I believe he was being serious, but i don't think he is prepared for the answers Jesus would give. Most of the ppl who followed Him ended up abandoning Him because He either said things they couldn't understand or they believed He was requiring too much of them. It is for the same reason most "Christians" won't accept anything Christ says now. They feel like He is demanding too much of them.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 there is a price to be paid to truly follow Jesus. Denying ourselves is a stumbling block for most people. .
Nevertheless we rejoice when the Lord is glorified.
I’m always praying for those in Hollywood. GO JESUS!
@@theeternalsbeliever1779OK. And publicly speculating about another person’s faith isn’t so fun when they’re talking about you.
u dont know how much i wish i could get in front of these actors and talk to them about Jesus
Well, one has to give Paul Rudd respect for first actually naming Jesus Christ as the person he wants to talk to, second he acknowledged Jesus is real. Him asking Jesus “what’s the deal” is just a trendy way to say “explain to me”. I think the other two just laughed because that’s probably the name they only hear as a by word and not as an actual person in history they want to talk to. Instead of criticizing them, pray for them!!! I know I’ll never meet them, but I’ll pray that God will send people in each of their lives who truly have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord. Godly people filled with true Godly love who can show them the love of God, but not condemn them because they don’t know they have a Savior in Jesus who paid the ultimate price to give them eternal life and all they need to do is believe and accept Jesus. The Holy Spirit will guide them to repent, seek His Word and live the life God intends for them. I’ll pray their eyes, mind and hearts will be open to receive the Gospel of salvation through Jesus. If we who believe would all pray for them, think of how God could use them to reach others in their current careers for our Lord. Pray!!!
Oh, that more of us would pray this, and not just for entertainers, but for all those placed in authority, in government, and elsewhere, especially for those that hate us. My theory as to why the good seem to die young, while the evil seem to keep on living is that God is giving them every last chance to repent before it's too late.
Amen! Agreeing in prayer with you, in Jesus' mighty name, Amen!
Amen 🙏🏽
I always liked Paul Rudd. This only makes me like him more.
It's rare for a famous actor to be openminded, especially concerning Jesus.
I have to say my meadure of respect climbed as well.
You shouldn’t like him more because he believes you love them more when they don’t. That’s Jesus’s message
The fact that Jesus Christ is the answer that he already knew to respond without thinking was a wow factor
I’ve always like Paul Rudd. Now I like him even more.
AMEN pastor Laurie
paul rudd is one of my favorite actors
I love him in role models. 😂
"Congratulations, you're stupid in 3 languages"
@@MaddieMS636hahaha for reals. Couldn’t have chose a better antman
@@MaddieMS636who says Fellini? 🤣
Kudos to Paul Rudd for saying that. I believe he was genuine. Isn’t it sad that the two young people laughed. Rudd is a comedian but I really think he was serious. I truly pray that Rudd and these young people search their hearts and seek Him because they don’t realize that Jesus IS alive. He is not dead and He is the living Lord. ✨
I would love to see Greg again when he speaks somewhere. I took a young coworker to see him in Albuquerque many years ago. What a great time.
Love it! Way to go Paul Rudd
Thank you Pastor Greg!
Such an effective way to incorporate this comment from a contemporary actor with a biblical example thousands of years ago. The bible & Jesus still apply today!!
1 Corinthians 1:18 NKJV
[18] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Perfect.
🩷🦩💛🩷🦩🩷🦩🩷🦩🩷🦩💛🩷🦩💛🩷🦩💛Please pray for salvation for Chris, Pete and Nick.
What an amazing conversation, Paster Greg . A. Thought I never had, but hearing this from you makes my heart flutter a bit. In a divine way ❤. Thank you for your words 🙏. Always, Julie
In my opinion, then and now, Jesus loves questioners, as long as the questions are being asked in good faith.
Jesus was a teacher first and foremost, even from a young age he would go to the temples and synagogues to teach others, and the authorities were amazed at his words and authority.
So yes, anyone who disagrees with you doesn't understand Jesus at all. I read in another comment that Paul Rudd saying "What's the deal?" is a modern, trendy way of saying, "explain to me", and they were also spot on.
Every knee will bow.
PRAISE JESUS HALLELUJAH
Did you know that the saying "Hallelujah" is short for "praise Jehovah" which used to be found in the holy scriptures many times before it was removed?
Absolutely TREMENDOUS post! Love it! Thanks for your remarks, Greg! Shalom.
Amen, Pastor Gregg! Thank you for your timely wisdom, your message is always on point and to the point! You are appreciated 🙏🫶✨
I'm glad because I hope Paul Rudd would become a jesus christ Christian he's a good actor I like his personality and I think he's a good person but I don't know too much about him I'm just talking from what I see, God bless him
Thank you. Shalom
People from all time have asked just about the same question... some were serious, others were not. Sounds like Paul Rudd is open to hearing Gospel Truth!
Thank you for posting. God bless.
I think I would lead with Jesus thank you! I love you!
It's a good answer. And shows that people know there's a lot of misrepresenting of His words and teachings.
There's plenty of warning about hypocrisy and false teachers. Yet those are often the very people perceived and portrayed falsely as Christians.
I just hope that my own actions and words reflect Him more than my own. It's for sure easier some days than others.
The best examples I know were servants first.
Thank you pastor for your videos.
Love it!!
not everyone will know him in this life but blessed is the man who the lord will allow to approach him who's sins are covered.
Good word❤
Amen pastor Greg
Why do people want to latch on to celebrities and make anything they say about God or Jesus more important than what the eighty year old woman in your church that has been a Christian since she was a child says?
Truth!
Just part of the game of bringing attention to your videos using things people are likely to click on.
It's not that what the celebrity says about God and Jesus is more important, it's that their words have far more reach than the eighty year old woman in the church. What she is saying is just as true and important to the dozens of people she can talk to as it is for the millions of people the celebrity can talk to.
I love the fact that Nicodemus met Jesus in secret initially, but by the end, he helped Joseph of Arimathea properly bury his body, which would've been a very public display of his love and respect for Jesus, and I would imagine got him kicked out of the order of the Pharisees. Such a beautiful turnaround.
Joseph was also a pharisee
The problem with your assumption is that Nicodemus helping them bury Christ wasn't the same as Him saying "i want to follow Him now". The Bible never mentions him becoming a member or even an associate of God's Church after the following Pentecost festival. Not every Pharisee possessed the kind of rabid hatred for Jesus that Paul had prior to his conversion. The gospel accounts mention some of them eating with Him or talking to Him.
Respect to Paul Rudd for that answer the way he did even though his costars laughed. And probably wasnt in jest. Just wasnt what they expected lol. & The "whats the deal" could mean anything. Not necessarily good or bad.
John 3:16-17
New King James Version
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
God does not have biological children,dont post fake verses.
Amen
God bless, btw love the radio show on csn
Amen!
AMEN!!
I've seen that video of Paul Rudd. I was quite impressed with it. Hopefully he finds this youtube video... We should pray for Paul too. :D
Good for Paul Rudd telling those young ppl Jesus was real. He existed & still does.
I don’t think Paul Rudd is prepared for the answer. With the other two: God said He will not be mocked…
Well Jesus is not God.
@@keksi6844 Yes, He is.
They weren't mocking the mythological made up deity, they were mocking your the refusal to grow up of the followers of said mythology. Wiser laughter was never heard.
@@desnock nothing but a baiter. God has the final word and that will be between you and Him. Not a Christian’s job to save you. Only God can do that as long as you drop the pride and arrogance and allow Him to.
@@Onlythenarrowroad your childish reaction is to be expected. your made up deity doesn't have ANY say, because he's made up.
You're not a Christian, btw - did you note the Jesus rejected you or was that over your head, Pharisee?
It is your pride and arrogance that rejects Christ's 2 commandments. When you can't even read your own mythology correctly, that is a cry for help - not from something made up - but from a professional.
Born again! 🎉
Amen
Hallelujah! PR is a believer!
Well, I am going to see him one day…I sure want that first conversation to go well. Would love to hear, “Well done, Good and faithful servant…”
I don't know if Paul Rudd is beginning to ask the right questions that will lead him down the narrow path to Jesus, but I pray he is. I've talked to quite a number of atheists, and, unfortunately, it seems that the majority of the younger ones laugh and mock Him and all those who have placed their lives in His hands. Older atheists don't go that far, some but not most. I sincerely hope and pray all unbelievers come to know Him and place their faith in Him before it is too late. No one will be laughing when they are face to face with Him. ...every knee will bow and every tongue confess... 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
Glad he acknowledged and corrected them. Maybe he is seeking.
Believe today Maranatha
Amen. "The meaning of life is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ." 🙏❤
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 (NKJV)
Totally
WHY WAIT?
Right now, Paul Rudd can have a conversation with Jesus. That’s the whole point of Salvation via Faith alone. You can talk to Jesus now, in prayer…then listen to Him respond, through His Word (like hearing the HS, thru an ear bud). So, Paul…why wait?🕊
Several years ago I saw an article where Paul Rudd actually admitted that he “prays to Satan”. 😢 Mr Rudd is definitely someone who is on a spiritual search of sorts. Pray for him, that he will actually surrender to Jesus Christ, his only hope. 🙏
Keep thinking that way, Paul.
So sad that most in Hollywood that have any level of success can be so blind to what is Most Important for their entire ‘earthly’ existence.😢
Even that level of mockery shocked me. 😮
"He existed!" Amen.
I can’t help to think, that Rudd is being sarcastic in his response. 😢
Paul Rudd, great news, The Lord Jesus is Alive today, right now, so go ahead and ask him what you will, and I pray you will receive the answer, really and with your whole heart receive the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Alpha and Omega, the creator and author of all life. God Bless.
Don’t be afraid to speak about Jesus!
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you in any way, because that day will not come until the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed-the son of destruction. ESV.
*clearly shows how close we are*
There's not a debate over whether he existed, the debate is whether or not he rose from the dead and there separates many
Paul, the "deal is" your going to hell unless you give your life to someone who loves you MORE than anyone in the universe! have a relationship with Jesus.- and you will have peace, beyond your understanding!
I loved the representation of the meeting shown in "The Chosen" when Jesus and Nicodemus have this discussion.
I thought it was well done, and the actor playing Nicodemus managed to properly emote the confusion of Nicodemus well.
I respect Nicodemus because the one thing that a lot of leaders have forgotten is what Nicodemus realized he was still teachable he knew it. An unteachable person is standing in quick sand
The deal is this ,accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today
What verse says that?
❤✝🌈 Don't blame the kids they are in the Babylon of industries, Paul Rudd being the funny guy he is they don't know when he's serious. Maybe one day they will understand. *"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left"* (Hebrews 10:26)
Jesus is the key that opens the door to eternal life. This is directly from God who sent His only son to die for our sins. ❤
Very sad that they laughed! 🙏
I've mocked. When I was a kid I mocked. I don't do that anymore.
It truly is sad to see those two young people laugh at paul rudds answer of Jesus they were probably expecting someone from Hollywood as the answer meanwhile an actor from Hollywood gave the greatest answer"Jesus".
Nick at night lol good one.
This clip with Paul Rudd seated between the two young adults brought to my mind the Crucifixion. Jesus was not the only one crucified on Good Friday, he was flanked on either side by two common thieves. As I understand it both thieves at the beginning mocked Jesus along with many of the by-standers. Then one of the thieves had an epiphany and implored Jesus to "remember me when You come into Your Kingdom". Which Jesus', through His divine Mercy did grant saying "on this day you will be in Paradise!"
Christian tradition often refers to the "good thief" as Dismas, which to my ear sounds to me like dismiss. So it's my hope that on my day of judgement I will hear that the case against me has been Dismas/dismiss-ed!
I totally understand that not everyone is into Jesus, but the two others laughing when Paul says Jesus...that is interesting.
Laughed…and scoffed
what watch is that? Panerai?
I love how Jesus thinks we're stupid
Forgive them father for those kids know not what they do.
We need not concern ourselves with pop culture. The gospel is not subject or modified to the whims of the times. It does not respect trends or pop culture, the Gospel is truth you either accept or condemn yourself rejecting it.
Nick at night. Classic
The odd thing about his statement is 1. Hed want to be Jesus Christ so 2. He can talk to Himself. I couldnt get past that.
Paul may be at a point in his life when he realizes all the fame and fortune just isn't enough, and wants to know what life is actually all about. God Bless him and the two young actors to look into the claims of Christ.
My respect for Paul Rudd increased dramatically. Whoever is a friend of Jesus is a friend of mine. Whoever is an enemy of Jesus is an enemy of mine.
See the manipulation? God lied. Read the garden of Eden story again? He told Adam he would surely die that day if ate the fruit. He ate the fruit and lived another 1000 years. The snake was truthful. He told Adam he would gain the knowledge of good and evil and would surely not die that day. All true. Hmmmm. The snake was cursed to crawl on its belly for the rest of time by God. When Satan makes his first appearance he’s walking as a man. The snake is not Satan. Never states that anywhere. It’s just a talking snake. A fairytale beginning to a fairytale book.
Is that a George Harrison guitar in the background you don’t need no rosary beads or them books to read before you can see Jesus
I think the kids laughed because they probably thought he was joking. But to be honest, children have no idea where they're getting their leadership from these days.
The short answer for Jesus would be, "The deal is Me."
When John the revelator met "The Lord Jesus Christ" in Rev Chapter 4 he turned and saw "The Lamb as He was slain" and fell down at His feet as dead.
Jesus deserves better it's a son sick world
Sorry... Can't take my eyes off of your Roth "Rat Fink" picture. Your cool/groovy points just went up... ;)
Well, there's even cooler matters at focus here 😁
All you have to do is believe in him and in your heart and you will meet him face to face one day. He died, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
theres no question to ask Jesus, we know that answer. I don't think i'd be able to stand in front of him, pretty sure i'd be on my face in the dirt crying saying thank you.
I want to be Mary, one of his followers :)
You think maybe meeting the only person to ever rise from the dead, might be interesting? Ah but He's still around so you can meet Him.🤔
Jesus i believe in you i cant make myself born again but i put my faith in you to save me from my sins i believe you were crucified burrird and rose from the dead come into my life forgive all my sins i believe and call on you to be my saviour.....jim
God created us for the sole purpose of entering into a relationship with Him. God's covenant with man changed over centuries, providing us with enough evidence for us to see we can never be enough, do enough, to hold up our end of the agreement. Only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and a spiritual rebirth can we be made righteous enough for a relationship with God.
The Bible shows God giving Israel the birthright and scepter promises, and He promised David a dynasty that would always rule over Israelites because he and Abraham obeyed God's laws. Christians are currently being given the same opportunity in regards to sitting on David's throne with Christ in God's Kingdom if they overcome Satan. To say nobody can live up to God's covenants is wholly ignorant and deceitful. God's Spirit makes it possible.
God please answer Paul's request and tell him what the deal is.
