I have mixed feelings about this.. I mean, I don't understand if he is into religion to seek for the ultimate happiness in life by following "the good rules" of a catholic or if he ultimately believes in the whole Church system. probably both.. I find him to be a very intelligent man but I find him also to be quite naive when talking about religion and church. In any case, it seems to me that he his a decent man.
Unfortunately, he goes against his own beliefs by aligning with people who support the murder of unborn babies. And I guess it’s not his fault, the industry forces him to be politically correct or else he will likely get cancelled. But you shouldn’t cling so much to money, and you shouldn’t be afraid of people. You should be afraid of him.
@@Mongalzwell can’t you just see him as that? A decent man rather than trying to dehumanize and label him things out of (let’s face it) your own naivety? Because clearly you don’t know him well enough to make that kind of judgment. It’s not fair that you go off based of what of television puts up just a one part of face.
Natalia Wilk I appreciate the screw tape letters as literature and dialogue. But the insinuations that Christianity can only be disbelieved by way of demons influencing our reasoning to avoid some obvious evidence in favor of Christianity are only reinforcing false prejudices about where the evidence actually points. th-cam.com/video/RFa5NJg1EMI/w-d-xo.html
If you look at his recent comments on making fun of Christians....There is the real Stephen. And besides everyone whom is of the world always use catholicism as sort if an identity shield from the actual responsibility of true relationship with Christ.
@@EuropeanQoheleth When is the truth ever pretty. Do you think when Jesus said to the woman at the well she has 5 husband's that was pretty? Or how bout when He told people that if they don't serve the Father then they serve the Devil whom is the Father of lies. Or how bout when He told the heretics that they don't hear what He says cuz they don't know God. If you want your ears tickled and your belly to fill full, turn on TBN.
If we’re to help these women then we shouldn’t yell and throw stones, if anything we should be trying to help these poor women who think that abortion is the only option, especially if society is limiting pregnant women in some way. Especially those who feel they’re not ready for children because they’re too young or not responsible or ready enough, feel their lives/careers will be uprooted by children, or were even made pregnant through rape. Maybe adoption agencies could help make the transition smoother, or companies could be more understanding. Otherwise women will continue to feel like their only choices are life or death
@@johnmartin4119 Similar sentiments, John. If Catholics want to be pro-life, then they ought to ask themselves what they've done to make women feel safer so that there would be a lesser need for abortion and what they've done to make children feel safer to reassure mothers it is okay to bring forth life to the world. Until I've fully embodied "pro-life" - that is advocate for women and children's safety, to bring equity to our society by uplifting the underprivileged - then I can't claim to be "pro-life" when clearly I'm not. If we want to see for ourselves where we've progressed in our capacity to care for the otherwise aborted children, then I suggest we visit the orphanages across our countries.
I believe this world was created because the odds are just so high. But how can anyone prove Christ was God made man? It sounds like a cult of personality.
If I were God with all knowledge, wisdom and love then perhaps I would come on earth as a human just as a human from a womb and probably set an example to the whole creation of mine. Perhaps Christ is not just a historic figure but he was prophesied in the Torah (Old Testament). Perhaps its all Gods plan and doing. Its not hard to believe if God truly is a loving God then he would certainly come and share the suffering of its creation, and to justify it with love and humility. And promise eternal life to anyone who follows the same path. Eternal life really starts in this life..
If one can create the world then where is the limit to power? DNA alone is fascinating. Childbirth is fascinating. If one can do all that sending a son to earth seems like nothing. Sending that child knowing he would die is a bigger question. That would be the hard part to comprehend for me. I certainly don’t deserve such a sacrifice.
@@israelizzyyarrashamiaak766 you are right when you say that you don't deserve it. Nobody does, but still God has given a free gift of salvation in the person of Christ. At the end of the day people can't save themselves, they are limited and if we don't wanna humble ourselves and we don't wanna acknowledge our limits.. Then we are on our own, lost for all eternity. They say people in hell can't come out because they have lost the capacity or capability to be good. They have lost all desires to be good anymore.. They just wanna remain there and fulfill their bitter desires. One can face suffering and still choose a noble path with even more content to find heaven, the other face the same suffering and justify their negativity due to mere suffering. So the goodness of God leads to repentance. God, eternity, salvation, good and evil they all go hand in hand.. These things are understood when you make time to engage with it instead of rejecting it as non sense. Be careful what you reject without contending with it. And if there is no God there is no eternity and its all random, by chance and nothingness which is just a lazy explanations to reality. There is no meaning or purpose of this life and therefore nowhere to go.. No good or bad just people arguing and complaining on their subjective opinions. Whatever society agrees as a while, is the tribal truth. Looks like a very deceptive world without God. A fallen world indeed. Therefore we give up our understanding of reality and open ourselves to the knowledge of God and his attributes. To be as close to perfection as possible even though we won't get it a 100% we strive to be the best every day. Perhaps thats what it means to be in the image of God, we are beings who strive to love, goodness, love, order and wisdom.. And without these attributes of God which we tend to claim to be ours.. If removed, it would be pure hell.
I personally believe it because of the historical evidence that he rose from the dead. If that claim is true so is the rest of the Bible. If you would like I can link you articles, videos, and debates discussing the resurrection
RocketKirchner can you give me his number? What time is he available to meet for lunch? Surely when you say “meet him” you mean actually walk up, shake his hand, and hear him say “hi, I’m Jesus,” to your face. Otherwise, you’d be quite disingenuous.

Stephen, thank you so much for recommending "The Screwtape Letters"! Also, a very thought-provoking interview.

Colbert is a great guy! He has brought a lot of joy to people.
Does anyone have the link to the full interview? I can’t find it anywhere
nice beard
"We have the gift of mass construction" wow wise words.
Thank you for being Santa Clause

Get over yourself, people are allowed to criticize others of the same/similar religion. Stop being a pansy little snowflake
That's real harsh.

Mr. Big Catholic aligns himself with those who cheerlead for abortion.
He is a CINO...Catholic In Name Only.
My same thoughts too.

@@weezy894 In the last 2 years I have found Christ, read Biblical prophesy, and am now concerned about my salvation. Thank you.
Christ is a myth.
until you meet him

Tim Pieper he’s talking about when u die.. and with that kind of arrogance I hope he’ll have mercy on you
Tim Pieper every human believes in Christ. Weather its now or on the day of our judgement. For some unfortunately its too late.
Even if He were a myth, He still would be infinitely more significant than you ever were or ever will ever be.
