What could make you believe is being quickened. Aside from that, you can't possibly will yourself into believing. So don't worry about it. If God wants you to believe you will, if not.... (Romans 9:16, AVRLE) “‭16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that, but of God that sheweth mercy.” (John 1:13, AVRLE) “‭13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”.

2600 variants!!! Lol. If there is any clear sign that these Athiests, simply regurgite talking points and dont even flesh out 10 substantial variants. pff, I dont know what else to tell you. And this is what is the problem with Athiests, they speak faster and with confidence, than actually study the documents we have, or dont even allow for different perspectives. They would throw out every court case because of various witness accounts. Your honor, there was a bank robbery, and the cops came, like 12 cop cars. Second Witness, your honor there was 7 cop cars that surrounded the Chase bank. Athiests - THROW OUT THE CASE, you lying christians. Geez dudes.

Good diagnosis of the world, but missing a crucial point: What the Western world calls "faith" is already mostly left-brained. Why has this left-brain overdrive happened in Christian societies and not much in others? Because this soulless rationalism was born out of a cerebral religion. Jesus criticized this letter-by-letter religious mentality of the Jews and called people to love instead, because love is the highest law if you really understand it. But as soon as the Christians came to power, they also began to oppress. Christianity continued to destroy mystery schools, just as the Hebrews had done for centuries. The war against the goddess cults continued, and with the suppression of the divine feminine, all that was left was a boring old widower, a father god without a mother, rituals without power, order that oppress life instead of serving it.

Why this obsession with one of the thousands of gods that have been invented over the centuries? There's no more evidence for the Christian one than there is for Thor or Ra or any of the others.

I am one of your subscribers and a practising Anglican, so was curious to hear what you say on this subject. Unfortunately, you appear to be well behind the curve on this serious and fast-developing topic. You seem not to have heard that during 2024 the US Senate succeeded in releasing hitherto suppressed information about ET visitation. Secondly, that the implications for Christianity are so profound that over 50 religious organisations based in Washington and chaired by the Jesuits have been briefed so thay can begin to consider its implications. This is a major, major development - bigger than anything that Tailhard de Chardin (my current book) ever dropped into our laps. For various reasons, including a personal sighting, I have followed this topic for years and would be more than happy to share what I have learned. At the same time,, some of the facts are so shocking I consider it unethical to give out the information unless its requested. if you would care to provide an email address, I will treat it as a request, and will give you the links that you need. Kind Regards, Michael

What i can understand from the language of Alex is that, he is searching for truth honestly but cant find it till now or not convinced with the informations he received till now.. He wants to hear the literal voice of God or presence..

God does not exist but our fear of death does

We need to see Paul Kingsnorth in conversation with Rupert Sheldrake!!

23:15 Yes☝️... why do some women aspire to copy male behaviour that women in general criticise / dislike (binge boozing, one night stands, etc) which is risky / harmful for them? - Do they really see male ways as higher status - are they SO keen to please? that they'll go along with things that can harm / upset them?

The protesters oppose genocide very simple. Peace will only come through Jesus. God bless.

Why? What? Lack of imagination. However, cant say that i believe myself. Guess im a hypocrite. What am i saying?

great talk have you ever interacted with Amy, she has some challenging creation theology; she speaks here = 18/07/2024 Northey Lecture - Pilgrim Theological College

I didn't watch this to support a religious channel. I watched this as a fan of Alex O'Connor 👍

And….Trump isn’t a theologian or pastor??)

Where was Wright and your magazine podcasts when Biden was elected? Where are you all now while non-combatant Palestinian Christians and Muslims are slaughtered in the closed battle space of Gaza, and left to die of physical and psychlogical trauma, hunger and disease while Israeli govt prosecutes its campaign of ethnic cleansing with extreme predjudice? Wright speaks boldly against the heresies and blasphemy of dispensationalism and egregious errors of evangelical zionism, but where is the action and forceful rebuke from the Church of England and your broadcast? Or concerning your powers of observation upon your own govt's sins, including the catastrophuc division of Palestine upon defeat of the Ottoman Empire? If you would frame the establishment of secular governments as the domain of God, shouldn't our prayers be for them, and rather that God's will be done in the fight against Evil? As an American Christian, let me counsel that the Church of England has no voice in our Republic, We The People have spoken for the return of political sanity, our Bill of Rights and Constitutional Rule of Law, based all upon the Christian foundations of Western Civilization. I suggest that England, the EU, and Australia and New Zealand join us, rather than hate Trump, America and Americans. If you would rather not, then mind your global socialist elitism business and stay out of ours. Stick with rigorous theology and knock it off with trying to influence elections. We have had enough of that.

Her eyes, her smile, her voice. What were they talking about?

Don't you think we now have in Israel a monster much like Hitler now..

Helen is a woman's name. Just saying.

Alex O'Connor in my opinion is an idiot. He ignores all historic information and writings, he basis's his world view on evidence that he knows he will never get. After all of the interviews he has been in he still holds to the non belief in God. His fifteen minutes of fame is over with and he has nothing to add anymore. I could care less what Alex O'Connor has to say about God.

Faith is the religion of ignorance.

I'm always slightly suspicious of overt Christianity, I can't quite put my finger on why

At least for some I think she definitely has a point here. People (notably on the liberal left) do consider their political opponents as evil human beings, which is all a bit nuts.

What Tom Hanks said regarding an A.I. version of himself has already happened. Two different Star Wars movies have brought two different actors back to life on the screen

Regarding A.I. Have none of these A.I. developers seen The Terminator franchise?

My son is an atheist. Alex O’Connor played a part in that after my son slowly began to think for himself and ask questions. I’ve been an atheist for 50 years now but did not evangelise to my son. My daughters are atheists now too. I hope that I’ve brought them up to be tolerant of people with other beliefs but will to challenge and question the belief whilst respecting the person.

I hope Alex knows that Christians have different views to William Laine Craig. I find his take on the OT appalling. The 'open' view of God is far more convincing. Most Christians believe we should read the OT through the lense of the cross. Greg Boyd has written about this. Hope Alex gets the chance to talk to him.

IM = LEGEND

LOL this is very funny in hindsight. Brierley and Tindall wheeling out NT Wright to try and swing American evangelicals away from voting for Trump😂

Always good to hear from Lauren (I don't know her I just watch the SALT youtube channel lol). It was good to hear her story, and I think both Justin and Belle were both great hosts as usual.

We need all trace of doubt to be removed about who and what we are. We need to see ourselves, clearly, as we are. Knowing more about what makes everyone else and everything else, while forgetting to know ourselves, who we are and what we actually exist for, isn't progress.

America’s separation doctrine does not mean that the Judeo-Christian God, the 10 Commandments,etc., aren’t meant to be part of our American doctrine. It means that Government is not to favor one organizational church over another or one Christian theology over another. America is foundation ally Christian Protestant. . God is firmly foundational in America. It is very much part of America from the foundation. We pray in Congress, Godly blessings are part of inaugurations, etc. Our history does not go back before Jesus as it does in England. NT Wright is very wrong here about our foundational American government and the reasons why immigrants first created communities. He is making up history. I love NT Wright, but I do have some disagreements with his legalistic pacifist theology and now this revisionist history of America’s foundations.

Dr Wright keeps misusing the so called separation of church and state disregarding it's origin historically, this was a letter written in response to denominational concern over institutionalising of one denomination over another, history tells us that the declaration of independence was formulated using sermons preached in the 50years and published 20years before and every article the constitution was based on each the plus minus 28 points in the declaration of independence.

The thumbnail and title conflate these two completely different questions:."What would it take to become a Christian." - "What would it take to believe in God."

I guess he will have taken in some 'asylum seekers' at his place. But then again, there never seems to be no room at the inn.

There is nothing I resent more than the modern nihilist misunderstanding the truth of Jesus Christ while throwing it back in the faces of Christians. Helen Lewis, we pray for your salvation.

I liked this podcast. I think Iain knows what he knows in terms of what he believes, but is wise enough to protect himself of being attacked by left-brain militants or used by others to further their dogma-wars, usually in defense from vicious attacks. In either way, he would not be able to give any effective contribution as he does now, by limiting prejudice to important insights. The hosts of this podcast are also sweet, honest, and sincere. To me, who can be anonymous and choose my surrounds, I follow the words and ways of Jesus Christ, who has saved me physically and emotionally, so many times and in so many ways.

Awesome if Christianity would be true? That would be horrible, why would people want that?

I enjoyed that. I'd love to see a debate between Milton Jones and Ricky Gervais.

Should be called what n.t Wright gets wrong about trump.

Asking the WRONG question DO you belief in GOD? NO! READ JUNG - He said You folks think and believe but I have EXPERIENCED and I know. I KNOW there is a GOD because I have had many many experiences of God throughout my Life. Knowledge is connected to Experience not limited to belief which narrows it only to the thinking function or only the Left Hemisphere. We are asking the wrong question. Ask HAVE you experienced GOD?

McGilchrist is not expressing something VERY important BOTH hemispheres are needed for a healthy person and society. The right has a vital skill that MOST are missing right now WHEN the LEFT is put back in its rightful place as the MASTER the LEFT gets to do what it does BEST- math education helps build the right and philosophy ed/Jungian study and music/petry the right!

Arsenal oh no!!!

@17mins: if you de-value sex, you de-value relationships. And when you de-value relationships, the result is record levels of broken homes, broken marriages, record levels of one-parent families bringing up emotionally damaged children. We also have record levels of abortion. Oh what a happy liberal world we live in! Eat your heart our Roy Jenkins.

Best Intro period.

This was an interesting discussion until Nish Kumar was mentioned. 👎🏼

i dont believe this gentleman when he said: "i´d loved to be a christian...." and later he mentioned that he wondered about the food industry and their consumation of livestock. did he ponder about that yet alone in germany >100.000 Childs are murdered by abortion each year, in Uk are even more! but he is concerned about killing animals for food?

As a fan of Milton and also a non-believer who spends a lot of time arguing with the Christian right, it's refreshing to hear the views of three intelligent, progressive Christians talking together. It's really good to be reminded that most Christians are like this rather than the much louder and less humane Fundamentalists who seem to spend their time hating everything that's different and constantly aggressively proselytising: often using fear as a battering ram. This is Christianity as community. Who could be against this?

Let me tell you what Donald Trump gets right. He believes in saying, “Merry Christmas”, he believes in prayer in school, he believes Americans are worth protecting, and he believes there are only two genders and a fetus is a child. I really like Wright but politically he is as wonky as Tim Keller, John Piper and all those other gospel coalition guys. Trump gets a lot right ( no pun intended).
