REZA ASLAN: UNDERSTANDING GOD
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- Who is God? According to Reza Aslan, our desire to humanize God is hardwired in our brains, making it a central feature of nearly every religious tradition. Regardless of our actions or beliefs, Aslan says the majority of us consider God to be a divine version of ourselves. We bestow upon God not just all that is good in human nature but also our greed, bigotry and violence. All these qualities are reflected in our religion, culture and government. Whether you believe in one God, many gods or no God at all, Aslan’s work will challenge the way you think about the role of the divine in our everyday lives.

All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

I've heard is thoughts on the burial subject to make the point he made, but I believe fundamentally that burial is a way for people to feel like living had some meaning and that people cared about them. If we just rolled people off the top of a cliff after, we would feel pretty crappy about what's coming..you get the point.
"there is no questions" is debatable.

God created energy , he transcends every thing in this universe
"These are things that point you to what you should believe in". I been saying that to atheist
Reza Aslan had always been fantastic in his view, Thank you for being there. I wonder in one thing: If your study shows that it's cognitive in human being of believing on after life which were found in the burial chambers since history, how can you then deny heaven or hell concept? As that's what after life is all about (as per most religious description)

27:00 Nice explanation of monotheism
Religion has its origin and takes shape upon the answer to this question:
Everyone seems to die, I will die one day. After I die, will my thoughts die with me?
You are welcome.
Here's the proof: when your children ask about where did grandpa go after he died, your answer is a benign one.
Religion is supposed to be benign to ourselves and harsh on our enemies. So that it takes on a darker role.
Day and night, light and darkness, heavens and hell..etc.
REZA ASLAN: "The majority of us consider God to be a divine version of ourselves".
Yes. I agree that God is my higher self.
God is what he wants us to believe
He is not what we desire him te be

I have to disagree with Reza when he claimed Abraham was not a monotheist. Abraham was most definitely a monotheist, and the example Reza gives for believing otherwise, I believe, is a figure of speech (i.e. "Thou shall have no other god before me."). Again, in my humble opinion, this expression does not mean that Abraham (himself) believed their to be other Gods worthy of worship.
"Thou shall have no other god before before me" is crystal clear. It's also number one on Moses hit parade.
1. I am the Lord your God, You shall have no other gods before me. (Your God, not the Egyptians, not the Babylonians ect. ect.)

I agree Kenneth
I have read several books on the history of religion and on the history of Abrahamaic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). They basically all state the same thing that Professor Ezra Aslan says.
Has Reza Aslan ever debated Bart Ehrman?
Lol. Mohammad jokes. I wonder if he’s serious. ?
Reza Is a great devoted student and teacher methinks. He’s also fair and open minded.

What I dont understand is that he is a Sufi Muslim, but almost al his history and statements are biblically derived. What exactly makes him Muslim?
Islam pretends to derive from the same God of the Bible yet it's prohibiting muslims to read it or believe in it calling it corrupt. However, since they don't have their own any Islamic or preIslamic books with the prophetic teachings they take everything from the Bible while criticizing it.
He is orginal from Islamic background, he born in Iran and his parents are Muslim.
This is exactly the same question I have!!! Only Allah knows what is in his heart but wallahi I am so confused with this guy. Apparently he even said Jesus (peace be upon him) was crucified like what kind of Muslim would say that about Jesus (peace be upon him)
@@aminanajomo5137 As a scholar he has to rely on the historical fact that Jesus died on the cross otherwise nobody would believe that he got his education in university, but as a Muslim he can believe whatever he wants.
@@dand1260 As a Christian, I am free to believe that Jesus never died on the cross but other Christians would tell me okay Amina believe that if you want but there will be consequences if you don't follow what the Bible tells you as a Christian. It's the same Thing with Islam as well. As a Muslim, I am free to believe that Jesus died on the cross even though Allah and the Quran never taught this. Therefore me believing in Jesus' crucifixion is a sin in Islam even though I can believe it if I want but I will be punished for it. It's like saying I can be a gay Muslim/Christian if I want like okay but I will be punished for it because that's what my religion tells me and there is wisdom behind these teachings and prohibitions. You are saying he is free to believe whatever he wants and I don't know how that is relevant to my above comment especially when I never said he isn't free to believe what he wants. He calls himself a Muslim but doesn't want to follow the Quran and Sunnah? That's up to him and that's between him and his God.
So someone you does not know God claims to tell us about understanding God.

Why would a muslim be named after that Jesus lion?
Reza, Salom.
I think that the "separation of body and mind" (and yes, since time immemorial, yet not required by biology it would seem to me, or perhaps already acquired in our genes or dna somehow) comes from an irreconcilable realization at some point each one makes when we reach a certain degree of philosophical maturing (mind you that it must have its own track compared to other levels of maturing, lol)
It is not until after our first serious "out of home" heartbreaks of incensed illogical betrayal or injustice, starting before hand very modestly when dad says "no because I said so, so shut up about it already", and it becomes our best friend cheating us out of something we never though he would, your puppy being stolen out of your car, the death of who to you are angelical people in your life, the torture of people and children you become aware of as you go into adulthood, and worse still from that point on; that you realize the world our logically acting reason and its "body" ends up building and running, errs, harms, hurts and kills others who are our same kind, the same as us. Thus occurs that it, ( body's logical reasoning, ) can never reconcile sensibly within our minds our own pure and subconscious esoteric yet real sense of survival for the species, or, the glue of love thriving collective intuition (soul). This heartbreaking debunking confrontation of nearly opposites, or enemies some suggest even as lie and truth would be enemies, naturally seems aberrant and wrong at some level forcing or making us ask the question "Why!!?". Why must have an answer. And "Why" cannot be abandoned because we must exist as a collective single species. ... And so starts Belief, and Faith towards an explicative purpose, and the ensuing explanation to restore harmonious sense and reason, which we can't live without, humanity might attest. A belief and faith that aims at ending the hypocrisy of self harming and the impossibility of self destruction. Enter nameless untouchable god, of all answers unknown, which of course he (male leaders of society) will explain. That's where the mess starts. For his reason is our tendency to understand and answer what makes no sense, so there's a want to own him or recruit him to be on our side, yet we called him forth because there was a void, so he can't actually be there in physical form, though he must... ... Starting to echo some things? ... Or is he? : -) This leads directly to the real explanation, to whatever degree we can reach a logical explanation, of the Divine Trinity. The paradigm or paradox I just tried to explain has to do with understanding how more than one thing would be true in the understanding of the Divine Trinity.

This man, Reza, reminds me of Pope who accepts all universal gods. Basically feel good doctrine, sound like a spiritual message. Many don’t want to hear God’s wrath…only feel good message. I rather listen to compelling story of Mosef Yousef (Son of Hamas) who found Christ during his capture from Israeli intellengce. He didn’t get top on the book lists but he was telling the absolute truth about who Hamas really is and how Jesus is absolute truth. How people need to not blame Israel. Reza is doing this for the fame and money. I hope you all thoroughly research all his books and his countless story to discredit Christ. I do give him credit on some historic facts. Jesus gives warning signs who are the wolf in sheep…Matthew 24:11. I’d rather invite Mosef Yousef than this Man, Reza who stir up God’s people. Jesus said he’s the only way…and eternal life…John 14:6/3:16…❤️🙏🏽😱

I admire Reza's knowledge and academics. But I do think he is an idealogue. Not sure for what exactly. But it has interfered with his conclusions. So I wouldn't trust Reza as a source for pure historical information.
He is mystic (Sufi) or patheiastic, which has nothing to do with any particular religion

Reza; u can't have it both ways, either u believe in creation or evolution!! You may think it with your "brain" but the understanding is in the heart.
Outstanding oratory skills! However, Reda's interpretation of religion as indiviidual conception is pure atheism (no god) but human imagination. The advice to reject the concept of heaven and hell is far from Islam. Saying Abraham and Moise worship two different Gods is also unacceptable!

Dear Reza Aslan, as you are a scholar of religions, i request you to consider following two facts:
1. When you say some verses are peace promoters and some are violent, that doesn’t make sense to me because verse is nothing but a sentence which comes in a book, in its chapter and even in a particular paragraph. We have to give comment on the basis of whole knowledge or message that we get after reading the book like no single sentence in any book can b quoted out of context. Talking of Quran, there are 114 chapters which means Quran is not a collection of verses but a book comprises of a those many chapters and each chapter has verses in context like the most misunderstood verse “ kill them wherever you find them” has its context which says that a peace treaty was broken by those who are being asked to fight with and they are being given time of few months to come back to the treaty and if they Re not coming back to peace treaty than kill and subject goes on to escort and bring them to the safe places who are non combatant and give them message . To know more about the context of verses please get familiar with the work of Almawrid institue.
2. In islam concept of God is crystal clear that he is one and only and his 99 characteristics which have been mentioned are never confusing. As we know, we share love and many characteristics with other animals but we know we are different than other animals and even the machines we create have our characteristics like intelligence etc.
when we talk about God, we believe those characteristics of love, compassion an other all are in extreme level with God and human have them with limits. Sharing characteristics doesn’t make you the same like robots share our characteristics but still we are not confused between robots and us human . Thank You
Ignorance is blessing...
Well said Reza doesn’t know God but is a pantheist which is closer to Hindu belief Islam is so clear in explaining the nature of God and the rest of God’s will ...read the exegeses tafseer of Quran to be rightly guided.
At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

I wonder what made up credential Reza will give himself in this video - PhD in Islam? PhD in Religious Studies? PhD in the History of Christianity? His PhD is in Sociology. Give me a break.
No, faith is not an emotion, but an absolute conviction. For a Christian must give up all right to self-defense by becoming a pacifist and must suffer the misery of the working poor by giving away all wealth to the poor. Two absolute miseries that could never be endured except by absolute conviction, that which we call faith.
Faith is an absolute blind conviction, which is not based on reason and logic. So faith derives from emotions, not logic and reason.
Say that to Allah EMC. Pick someone your size. I'm muslim and i love Christians. The Quran is not blind (faith or belief) and we love Jesus and he was virgin like his mother. We and Christians disagree anout things but they are the nearest to us. Allah doesnt allow you to go any further. Read the Quran for some resistance, Christianity is full of love. If you want trouble.
Sad to hear that Abraham and Moses (pbut) had different God. From Quran we know that all prophets worshipped same God. What Reza spoke just didn’t understand. I guess these are all his imaginations. I pray for him

Reza just want to sell his books and make money. He won't make any money from me and I don't waste my time reading his books.
This is one man's opinion..... not facts at all, his opinion. FIRST of all, he is MUSLIM, and a great public speaker.... He has mentioned in the ASPEN talk ( 50 people in the audience?) that every Jesus gets mentioned on FOX he sells more books.... He said to be glib.... of course he doesn't mind being glib because he doesn't mind making a living on writing his perspectives on Jesus.
Jesus Christ is not a Religion or Country.
No, Moses was not an Egyptian, as all Hebrews descended from Abraham who came from
Ur of Chaldeans. No, Christ was not a God, for throughout the New Testament he is called "God the Son." Yes, the devil is throughout the Hebrew Old Testament, see Genesis 3:1
Moses was an Egyptian Jew.
Christ is god according to most Christians.
Moses is known for being the only Prophet who talked to God (Allah/Eloh-im). Whereever they were from, they follow Gods command.
Gensis speaks of a serpant not the devil. People have inferred that the serpant is the devil, but thats not stated in the text.
I don't know where the word 'devil' comes from. The devil is Satan, or the organisation of devils (plural). The serpant like ... fights lions and tigers etc by suffocating them, or by poison yet it wold not fight for glory. It is cold blooded (cold and calculated). It is the enemy, because iit is cold yet fighting, a devious combination.
he his just expressing his opinion on religion out of thousands...then when talking about politics, he knows nothing and just follows the herd that will make him and others feel good, specially in the bay area...
The knowledge of God should only come from God and the creation of religion should only come from God. If anyone started a religion without seeing and speaking to God then the religion is man made and pointless.
What is this guy?!! Wat an insult to those hu misled him this way...i have mo clue wat is he talking about...is like my baby child made to speak of Allah sw....one man said about his rabish..on the great jesus..cs...as a creative...writing....
