Ben, love your stuff, but I think you oversimplify Christianity. CS Lewis advised new Christians not to trust fleeting feelings of spirituality, and to start acting Christian in order to build up your faith.

Russell Brand is a fullblown freemason. He belongs to the esoteric Hollywood elite. He's not who you think he is.

[@mainsource527]

When u truly believe in a value system and religion and if u test these values and it bears fruits and people say " wow I see light in this person" and wow he's a true chrsitian. He helps at food banks all the time and prays for people and sometimes they are healed.. for example I was healed after a 2 yr bout of long covod . Had Wuhan. Strain 1/2020. 6 montj later at 40 urs old healthy had a blood clot in lung didn't know. It dislodged and hit my brain from lung!! Very painful and forgot how to do everything and couldn't speak well, cognition was terrible. I was also swelling up all over hands feet,upper moutj,stomach ,kidneys,about every 14 days where ir was soooo painful and I went to Yale new haven and I had a lot of blood vessel damage from the spike protein replicating causing all that swelling etx and flareups.. they didn't have Amy regeneron or anything then .. 2021 my blood pressure went tp 240/165 for maybe 2 months. My left eye popped it felt like and I went blind for 3 says couldn't take 10 steps!! I was exhausted. I wasn't understanding what pple were saying and it was coming out funny like slurring I was told . I had a stroke .I had an anointed pastor pray over me and after 2 yra od suffering the pain went away ampmost instantly.. I started getting my cognition back ,I could walk for an hour now no problem just a few weeks after versus 10 steps and being in bed!! I started to cook and clean and helped at this rescue mission where I lived cuz I lost everything cuz I was unable to care for self and my mother just passed of cancer . So I lost my condo,car,job and taxes lapsed on house. Head gasket went in car 08 Honda accord . My room mate overheated whole I was in hospital.. he had to take my lil sister to store in snowstorm and amassed it up!! So I started to cook for 100 pple a day in need and clothing the homeless and passing out clothes to those in need at our donation sites!! Started studying Bible and doing Greek Hebrew translations on old testament and having conversations with classes of 20 to 30 pple . We read a boll battlefield of the mind by Joyce Meyer. Read return of the gods by Jonathan cahn.. i also had a friend at the mission who had a soot the size of quarter on lung and asked me to rosy 4 him .. I did at stop shop and he said he felt like a electrical shock !! I saw him at church last Wednesday and he was going to get thos cancer soot removed!! They were getting ready to go in and it was GONE!! So I have experienced healing, and I was healed in Jesus name!! The final thing that I surely know God and angels are protecting me is .. 1 guy got kicked out of mission.. and he had me attacked outside on state street in bpt ct. I was helping someone with a tore a d 2 guys pinched me in head .. said oh u git my uncle kicked out etc etc . I felt no pain and was thinking these guys are chumps.. them they go get a bat in cat and these kids and 2 guys blocked road and said go down side street .. so they chased me wotj 3 witnesses . One guy gits me in back of head with metal bat and 3 witnesses saw 😇 or something Blick the strike !!.I heard a crack like a foul ball and I heard bat drop but I kept going.. when I came back hours later the 2 guys who saw what happened out of 3 were there. They said " the bat dropped to ground and while u getting away 2 grown men were being held back and couldn't grab bat that fell in ground! Something was holding them back from getting the bat on floor for about 3 minutes!! They started calling me the " anointed one" and were like God really loves u bro 🙏.. so I hope this helps who's reading and If Ben decides to I hope it lifts his spirits..

[@mainsource527]

When I put my faith In God and my values to the test I always pass!! I always know I did the right thing .. when u ask someone who is pro abortion they only use words to slant the truth and they know ita wrong. And I'd they don't they need to check their spirits.. there was a guy recently who started studying all religions and started taking a lip from this and that and had this whole system of how to live and everybody was like " you are such a phony " .. he knew he was faking it himself.. I know when I'm at the food banks and feeding and clothing and helpmb those in need. And going out and praying for those who are sick and preaching gospel .. and following the 10 commandments and trying my best to love god,pray,eat well,workout,and always put God forst .i keep him in front of my mind in everything I do& people come to me and say u always uplift me . Or others will say " there's something about ur spirit " . Lot of light and goodness in u "!! So I'm trying. Many people who say they are chrsitians are not walking In the spirit and praying and doing what Jesus told us to do.. preach gospel, pray for sick,hel0 those in need, feed poor, love your neighbor as thyself,love God wotj all your heart . Those 2 commandments fulfill the 10 cuz if I do and love my neighbor I won't hurt ,stral,lie, or covet his wife,. If I love God with3all my heart I d9nt want to sin and want to be and feel his presence!!

As a Christian I do believe we fall under Grace, we cannot do enough to earn salvation, but I also believe it is worthy to hear from our Jewish brethren to learn how the Bible is read and understood by them to help me understand it better (context, etc).

[@JayM928]

Absolutely. After all, everything Jesus said to the Jews was in the framework of Jewish customs and laws of the time. Of course, the message was for Jews and Gentiles alike, but even to understand the significance of that, it helps to understand the Jewish context.

I could be wrong but what I was always told was even though they don't believe Jesus was the son of God, the are God's chosen people. They fall under the old covenant(before Jesus) so I'm sure all Jewish people will be in heaven. That's why God calls all Christians to always show love and be there for the Israel and the Jewish people.

[@David_F97]

There’s no way to rationally discuss religious faith because it itself is irrational.

[@LawSavant]

​@Noun-none-9 The comparison between faith and emotions is an erroneous one. Emotions are indeed intangible, yet rooted in personal experience. On the other hand, to believe in something without evidence is the very definition of faith - therefore making it not possible to be discussed in a rational manner. As Søren Kierkegaard once wrote, “Faith is not a matter of the intellect but of the will.” It is a subjective leap that one takes without the aid of reason or empirical evidence. Faith operates on a different plane altogether. Hence, while it may be possible to discuss emotions through introspection and dialogue, faith is beyond the realm of rational discourse.

[@Leave_Nothing_Stock]

Russell's childlike excitement when he's picking up what someone is putting down, is what does it for me. He doesn't have to agree but anytime he finds himself on someone else's train of thought, you can see that he's overjoyed to be along for the ride.

[@Taterstiltskin]

That's an interesting observation, and it instantly reminded me of Jesus telling people that you must be like a child to enter the Kingdom of God (Mark 10:15, Matthew 18:3.) Total opposite of the prideful guru attitude I've seen in the past with Brand (granted it's been a while.) Now contrast that with Ben. :/

I definitely see my faith and being a disciple of Jesus as a daily and constant learning and growing process. I don’t just believe so therefore I can do good. Holy Spirit literally abides in me from baptism and is minute by minute transforming me into the best version of myself God wants me to be.

[@big_sk4ian424]

Yes of course you don't follow the same rules the same way, you have the watered down version of the watered down version because Catholics are the basis for Christianity like Judaism is the basis for Catholics because the man you all love Jesus was a jew not a Christian even the methods of prayer would be foreign to this "son of god" which gave the direct source to follow and then men wrote over it creating so many churches to argue which way he wiped his ass and how many prayers they could write and sing in his name not for his values don't forget the donation basket and free taxes

[@sonar245]

Then you don't hold to typical evangelical Christianity. You have a more judaistic view of the gospel if you believe that your works matter and have an effect on your faith. I have argued this ad nosium with countless Christians. their claim being that if your works aren't "reflective"of your faith, then it's because your faith isn't 1. Strong enough or 2. You have no faith. They believe that works flow from faith automatically, just as Ben said. Ben's understanding of typical Christianity is on point. You are not a typical Christian.

I n response to conversation found around the 8:00 mark, Proverbs 23:7 says, “ as a man thinks in his heart, so he is.” Psalm 14 also addresses our hearts’ condition, summarized in Psalm 14:3, “There is NONE who is righteous, no not one.” But the good news for an utterly hopeless and wicked humanity was prophesied in Isaiah 53: “…Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all….” (Verses 4-6) “…yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” (Verse 12). Read all of this chapter to see that God had a plan before the world was created to demonstrate His great love, justice, righteousness, mercy, and wisdom. This plan was foretold in the Old Testament and came to fruition when Jesus came. (See John chapter 1. “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.” Jesus fulfilled the law, which no one in the history of humanity could ever do. Then He paid the penalty for all the atrocities we’ve committed against God’s kingdom and rule & all we’ve committed against one another. He was killed for us, but He was raised through the power of the Holy Spirit and gives life to everyone, (Jew, Gentile, Nonreligious, etc), who receive Him by faith just as the prophet foretold, “Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead.”

Man this is awesome Ben. I’m a Christian but I loved what you said about the “experiencing God” and in response actions follow being possibly problematic because as we know, feelings eb and flow and are always changing. Through my experience of trying to lead others to God, a lot of non-believers want to experience God and witness something for them to believe. And some of them have “experienced” things that has made them believe for a short while, but that experience comes to an end “5 minutes later” just like you said and they don’t believe or “feel” anymore. The heart of man is deceitful so I 100% agree with your statements on that. The best way to witness God is through is word and living accordingly even as a Christian.

Yet this kind of thing has been going on forever...you and many others are just at a point to hear it now.

[@ryanhoward5844]

@Mon Ember I was referring to this type being in contrast to the news format on the rest of the programs. My friends and I speak this way. Always have. I'm in my late 30's and relate more to this than the traditional talking head format

[@hollykinslow5193]

As a Christian, the "transcendent moment" you called it, I view as a relationship. Like a marriage. Sometimes you like (love always) but maybe not like behavior, etc. Or kids! One doesn't always "like" what loved ones do or say, but you maintain relationship. THAT is the difference in my opinion. Love is the hinge. The door goes both ways. God unconditionally loves me. I'm not always on my best behavior, but the relationship still holds true.

[@VoiceTotheEndsOfTheEarth]

And that relationship has to be cultivated to keep it always transcendent (paramount or central to our lives). I think this is the piece of the puzzle that Ben is missing. Sure, justification is a one time moment, but the ongoing relationship is sanctifying (to make us holy) us moment-by-moment. That's what daily Bible reading and prayer does. The Bible is God speaking to us in objective truth, the Holy Spirit making that word subjective truth as we subject ourselves to it by applying it to a particular real-life situation, and prayer is us speaking back to God to align our wills with His, becoming transformed by the renewing of our minds to be more Christlike. This should instill the humility that Ben speaks of, as we come to know God (not so much facts, but relationally) in a deeper way.

[@big_sk4ian424]

It's going to be funny if y'all meet god and he's questioning why you worshiped a man with a book and dipped your hands in vinegar water then tapped the shape of the murder weapon of the same Jewish man thousands of years ago was decked by the Romans then worshiped by them

[@willynilly7]

I love and respect Jewish people but what is missing from an intellectual conversation about a transcendent moment or one time “feeling” is the Holy Spirit. That can’t be explained to someone who hasn’t received this miraculous gift.

[@big_sk4ian424]

@@willynilly7 I've felt that miraculous feeling not threw Church or senseless devotion but in the sunlight, in the moonlight, in the wind, trees and waters, In the destruction and restoration of life, in our gifts and curses that feeling was refreshing and real compared to a flicker of hope that god cares about us in mass hearing about god's flood that killed innocent kids and animals just to inbreed them all back

[@matth7715]

One of the things I admire about Russel is that he's a fantastic listener. Most people can't be quite long enough to listen.

[@Old_Shoe]

I could listen to the Russel and Ben talk on the regular. I have friends like this, we talk like this, more humans with differing beliefs should engage in exchanges such as this. Thanks for the model!

[@sonseraedesigns]

Awesome example of two adults having a respectful, intellectual conversation. We need more of this.

This is one of the best discussions I've ever seen on Faith and the need of God, and the origin of the dysfunction in our society. Excellent work to both Russell and Ben!

[@tonyaphillips8251]

Russell Brand, you have taught me to be a better listener. Thank you. I, like you, have such a randomness of my brain. Watching you over the years, go from trying to say everything to get it out, to sitting in the pocket trying to “hear” what others are saying, had GREATLY helped calm the chaos in my mind. Thanks much.

bruh people are wild they walking past such a good convo, I woild have pulled up a seat. 😅

[@Kharmatherouge]

I love you both. As a brit. to see someone who can match the speed that Ben can think and speak is hilarious. But importantly where you both come from as intellectual giants. I have hope for our world. xxx

[@hollerinwoman]

As a Christian (and Gentile), I feel that studying the Bible from a Jewish perspective has greatly enhanced my knowledge and love of God and His work in the world. I enjoy reading what the Jewish sages have to say about particular laws and practices, some of which Ben talked about. The Bible (Tanahk, or Old Testament) is a Jewish set of writings. Even the New Testament was written mostly by Jews, about the Jewish Messiah, referencing numerous Old Testament writings. It is fascinating to learn things I had not known from my Protestant upbringing. Enjoyed this conversation too!!

[@stoggsherfnik4569]

That’s wonderful!🙏😊❤️I hav a similar (Lutheran) upbringing. There are a few videos release my JBSThe Jewish Broadcasting system, called, “Jewish 101”; taught by Rabbi Mark Galub z”l (Jan 2023) Its the finest introduction to Judaism I have ever encountered, including his Aleph-Bet series. They have their own website that has a larger archive than KZbin I think. Good luck happy exploring! & Happy Easter

This was one of the most brilliant conversations I've heard in a long time. That is all.

[@BenEddy]

The comment about our roles with pointing out how they show on our tombstones.. very touching. Beautiful strong message, thanks for that. A missed opportunity.. a consistently missed opportunity and the most important missing element from these discussions imo.. is the Jewish answer to Russel Brands longing to believe.. he says hope even.. that we as a people will eventually all come to believe in the same one true G-d.. This was definitely your opportunity to recount the story of Abrahams hope.. and how that is what built the Jewish people.. Yes Russel, what you’re hoping for, we believe will happen in time too.. that same hope founded our people with G-d. This is an important part of the message to share.. as this is the active action based message that gives us continuing direction and affirms we are capable. 🙏❤️

[@FideleDiab]

I really appreciate this discussion. I have the utmost respect for both Shapiro and Russell. But one thing to add is that Christianity is not based on "experiencing a transcendental moment" from which Ben goes on to say that sometimes you might feel God and other times you don't. It is based on belief in the person of Jesus, which becomes a solid rock, a strong foundation, where even if you do not "feel" God at some particular moment, because storms do hit, and we do feel alone/afraid/depressed etc. we can in spite of those feelings know that we are being held by God and that He is faithful and His promises are real, therefore our faith is not shaken.

[@joanesclamado7324]

You two are a great combination. It doesn't matter if your background and experiences are different, you have the same set of values and you both are givers of hope and clarity and love.💜🧡🙏

[@andsoitgoes1142]

Wow. Ben is talking with someone who thinks and talks faster than him.

[@floresincometax9112]

What i admire about Russell Brand is that he is willing to speak with people he doesn't agree with to learn. That is always a good trait to have. That's how we learn or teach.

[@anon_y_mousse]

Thank you for sharing this Ben & Russell. I am hoping to experience more conversations like this with our religious leaders and spiritual activists. It has given me more courage.

[@judykniffin9932]

Always enjoyed listening to these two men.

[@pioneerprophet2085]

5:18. Christian here, and I totally agree with Ben's point regarding the danger of transcendent moments. I always push the people at my church away from feeling and more toward knowledge of their faith because of this exact point Ben acknowledges.

[@thefriesens1071]

Absolutely. I agree 100%. Christianity is based on a knowledge of the truth, not mountaintop experiences.

[@caivail4614]

Agreed, but he also misses the point that Protestantism (and specifically, American Protestantism) is this way, not Christianity as a whole or to its core. Orthodox Christianity and even Roman Catholicism follows the same trajectory of path -> experience vs experience > path that he describes for Judaism.

[@natashamiller4860]

I am seeing so many changes in Russell Brand (as well as Stephen Hilton) that I never imagined would happen. It is so refreshing and inspiring to watch his (their) heart and mind change right in front of our eyes!

[@thebelmont1995]

Have you read the Bible verses about God killing children. There are a lot.

[@bernardandersonii]

@@thebelmont1995 yeah, God kills everyone in the very beginning. Wipes them out in a flood. Only saves 8

[@thebelmont1995]

@@bernardandersonii Not just that. The parts where he specifically kills children.

[@bernardandersonii]

@@thebelmont1995 that's what I'm saying, anytime God saw Idolatry and demon worship. Or people did things their own way, he killed everyone. Sodom n Gomorrah, through the book of Joshua, he ordered everyone killed. It bothers me from time to time, but I don't get caught up in God killing anyone because it's his creation, he has a right to bring justice or relieve anyone from life in His own way. My biggest concern is people murdering people they didn't make (including themselves). We were made for God, not for ourselves and the abuse of others. And when that happens, God's justice is to make it right however he sees fit. God feels wayyyy more compassion than we do, and when he's angry, his anger is wayyy more just than ours. We don't know all his ways and ends, but we can see two things; God is loving and just. Did you know He killed His own Son for us?

[@sphiwemguni1541]

Yet you are here living and breathing. The trick is to study why? They were killed because they were defiled with a bad gene. Gen 6...after that flood. After flood all those who were no longer full human....study the nations which were destroyed and their genealogy. Their blood line... unfortunately we still have some of the seed of Satan with us here on earth. Study and argue....would you have liked if we lived among a huge number of sort of humans who ate humans...but well. Maybe you might have. But God saw it fit that whatever he didn't create to be destroyed whether after centuries there will be people who will think they are wiser than Him.

I've taught upper grade children for almost 20 years now and I can say, without a doubt, we thrive on roles and predictable routine.
