Super stuff. Nice to hear an Anglican talking sense - increasingly rare these days. Happy Easter all.

Thank you gentlemen, for sharing your love, concerns snd faith with us this Good Friday.

[@ggordonc1]

Thanks to God for his love, mercy, and gifts of repentance and faith.

[@paulsmith8321]

I really appreciated this wonderful conversation. Thank you. My take-home message is to work on more meaningful engagement with people and to provide a more meaningful narrative that clearly and engagingly presents the Gospel truth. God bless.

[@faithlinkministries]

Thank you Dr Peter Jensen really enjoyed listening to you.

[@ZeroCartin]

Beautiful conversation, and such important messages to be shared across people all over our falling western world.

My husband at yrs of age committed his life to Jesus at an off-shoot rally inspired by the Billy Graham Crusade in WA in 1959. I became a 'born-again' Christian in Perth in1980 and for the last forty years we have had a marvelous adventure together with God. My husband went on to become a Preacher and we were Missionaries to Papua New Guinea. When we retired in 2020 God gave us a lovely modest home as a free gift. God always looks after his faithful children. His love for us is amazing and wonderful.

[@jackjones3657]

How refreshing it is to hear two seasoned, God honoring gentlemen speak Truth in a time where emotion and image seem to precede everything. Thank You!

[@jimmaty9922]

Wonderful subject between to great men.

[@alyswilliams9571]

What a great talk.

[@stephenbrodie545]

I very sincerely enjoy this episode of your podcast John, you have done great work and are one of the few conservative speakers my wife will listen to. However, I did have a chuckle when I saw the date this video was posted. Keep up the good work and God bless.

[@elizkendal]

Thank you John, and thank you Peter, for such a beautiful conversation. AMEN.

[@MrKylehornsey]

Great listen, thanks John. Would just add that not only is 'the pill' the cause for declining morality but also the abandoning of biblical Christianity by Christians. These days it mostly comes down to money to keep the show on the road, rather than upholding of gospel truth.

[@jackjones3657]

Your comment is very insightful and sadly, very true.

[@karenthornton6330]

Wow. So well expressed...

[@jeanbb3283]

What an enjoyable discussion

[@laszloattiladozsa8179]

Happy Easter!

[@ibatan7243]

Finally, someone is still wishing "happy Easter". You are the only one in between all the commentators who did so. Keep on the good job.

[@gjts7553]

Thank you!

[@simonbevan4598]

Be strong in the Lord in His mighty power. God has not given us a spirit of fear but power love and a sound mind. Submit therefore unto God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

[@mtate02]

Dr Anderson, this is the most exceptional upload you have made mate. Truely inspirational! 💪👍

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, GOODNESS, faithfulness,” Galatians‬ ‭5:22‬. This is ONE fruit and it never grows on any other tree but the Tree of Life. “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, FOR APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.” John‬ ‭15:5. May those who have ears understand.‬

[@simonbevan4598]

Lord bless you and keep you His face shine upon you and be gracious to you and give you His peace His shalom

[@sydneeedman8148]

I was in tears at the end. Thank you Dr. Jensen for your powerful witness. ✝️

[@marjae5432]

What a conversation; so many different themes and insightful perspectives. Thank You!

[@kevinmathervideo]

An outstanding episode. The core issue (human nature) is also discussed exhaustively in Thomas Sowell: "A Conflict of Visions."

[@trbielenberg]

Thanks for this Mr Anderson! Keep it up.

[@sharpturns5558]

This was wonderful, glad I happened upon this today.

[@brettw011]

Contempt, hate, bile, vitriol and denigrating comments and insults is in almost all discussions whether it’s climate change, abortion, race whatever, is taught nowadays by the media by politicians etc. it’s sad that two or more people cannot sit and discuss a topic rationally and calmly but most people talk in slogans from sound and video bites and with little knowledge of a topic other than an emotional aspect which erupts in anger and frustration as they cannot express their view in any other way. They lack the cognizance and knowledge to verbalize coherently. With contempt and hatred comes the ability to see a person or group of people as less than human. At that point it’s a small step to incarceration and elimination. We ignore history at our own peril. Asheville Aussie 🐨

[@johngroves1733]

What an excellent interview!

[@ArielBerdugo]

Yes John, "we". 100%

[@BECKS90001]

On the topic of Church and State it's important to point out that the Church of England was established to be a State Church and works best without a separation. While other denominations such as the Catholic Church and other Protestant churches were established underground and can work well with a separation.

[@dlucknow7356]

Another great interview John, thanks to you and Peter both. I hate to think we are a this point, but with our failing standards in Australia, is it time that we who are Christians say we are Christians first and Australian second? We should promote that which give us all the greatest hope, charity, forgiveness and sense of community. A Christian umbrella that is open to all and totally inclusive. Perhaps it was a mistake of the past to put nationhood on a similar level to God.

[@mrchrisadams43]

I agree that what society is experiencing now can be traced back to the 60s, but what enabled the 60s was the post war prosperity. Prosperity kills culture.

[@jemrl]

I was dismissed from my employment because of my Christian faith

[@marcusallen1567]

Many talk about "Love" (especially modern day yogis) but what really is it? Affinity? Addiction? Narcissism? Dependence? Worship? Lust? Community? Union? Icecream?

[@tomsuibney9093]

John it seems your podcast is frozen ,its been in circulation since this morning & now its 8pm ,you have 135k subscribers but less than 2000 views ...160 likes ? Confusing. ....42 comments, suspicious...........you tube what you up to, what , the usual on right wing leaning podcast 😄

[@oliverjamito9902]

1st. Love God who gave our privilege to even uttered words beloved? Is like what is the true meaning of utterance beloved. So you and me may know why is very, very, very, vital to 2nd love thy neighbors as thyself beloved! Breathing through our nostrils indeed. Given. Indeed can be kept. Is like why are we talking at all beloved? Remember it will be hard to show off to God without our neighbors beloved. Many have different definitions of our beloved neighbors upon all the tribes of judah upon all dry GROUNDS nor the world. Noises has an Aim beloved! Now what noise can be kept beloved! Nothing is wasted but increased. Beloved my true forefathers are true WASHERS OF FEETS OF NEIGHBORS. CAN'T SEPARATE GOD AND NEIGHBORS. SPECIALLY DEALING WITH THE SKY CAN'T TOUCH THE ROOF OF IT BELOVED.

[@BlinkyBillNo1]

There is too much for me to think about before I could make an informed comment on Dr Jensen's enlightening conversation. What I would value is membership in a community of thinkers who discuss the types of critically important issues raised. Traditional church membership and services don't suit everyone. Interactive participation underpinned by Christian theology may be the answer..

[@iggle6448]

I'm wondering if you're a member of a church? Perhaps your church doesn't encourage these types of discussions. But many do. Doubt and critiques are welcomed in my Church.

[@nestormatos8477]

Wish I could share this with Joe Biden.

[@tomsuibney9093]

I'm not religious but if i had to choose, the religion of Christianity or the new religion woke , DAAAAAAAA

[@nestormatos8477]

WOKE Will be a thing of the past, Chirstianity will always prevail.

[@tomsuibney9093]

Christianity has prevailed for 2000 years or more its certainly stood the test of time ,so yeh i think your right , Nestor Mator, but in the mean time this woke looks like causeing a lot of misery sadly. .....

[@Andrew-yw6kt]

It's simple actually. You only have one choice. Will you FOLLOW Christ or satan. That's it, you either have Christ as your daddy(God) or satan. There's no such creature as an atheist.

[@tpavx7]

Rom 13 is not about secular govt

[@mrj3nk044]

There is no Christian or any other community rights. You, as an individual, have a right to freely associate. This is an individual right. The association formed by individuals (the group, the collective etc) has no rights other than the individual rights of its members. Some men dont have any different or any more or less rights by happenstance of which groups he associates. To suggest otherwise is tribal collectivism.

[@IIVVBlues]

A better way to phrase the headline is, "Christiaity worked", past tense. Christians are guilty of the same feeling of entitlement. The ancient Greeks did not believe that people were good or bad. They did believe that, no matter how proper, just or loving a person appeared, demons lay below the surface of every human and we have to learn to deal with them and keep them under control. That's just the way things are. This was illustrated in the myths of Apollo and Dionysus. Nietzsche was a classics scholar who explains this concept in, "The Birth of Tragedy". The Greek myths which underlie their philosophy are not that different from the Christian myths. Human nature does not change. Christianity required centuries of brutal, ruthless, even thuggish enforcement by the state to become widely accepted in the west. There was nothing mysterious about it. To quote Joseph Campbell, most Christians have become lost in the myth, in particular the fundamentalists, and have become oblivious to the thoughts behind it. Born in the Bronze Age and adapted through the Dark Ages, Christianity served the social order. We are now in an industrial age which does not economically support former traditional family or moral structure. Almost no one believes in the divine right of kings or nobility through birth. A new order will eventually emerge, but we are in a difficult transitional period. Human nature is still the same and what ever comes will still likely be explainable through the metaphors of the Dionysian and Apollonian myths.

[@robmarshall956]

Nothing past about it that’s merely your personal interpretation. Explain what a Christian is ? what tenets of faith make one a Christian ?and how that comes to fruition? What’s the process biblically ?

[@ArielBerdugo]

[@ArielBerdugo]

"Freedom of the individual but also freedom of communities to be communities." This idea was likewise conveyed by the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks obm at a talk he gave at the Legatum Institute which video was there recently uploaded.

[@ArielBerdugo]

.. it is beautiful to see sincerity with your words of faith. I would love to say more but find myself at this time speechless.

[@jasonseng5463]

Scary how religion is gaining popularity.

[@nestormatos8477]

It brings tolerance, guidance and so much more. WOKE is everything wrong, using racism to destroy the fabric of our God given nation.

[@TheAtheist22]

Studying theology is like studying mythology albeit far less imaginative and entertaining and all you know is...a lot about Nonsense.

[@TheAtheist22]

@Benjamin Guilatco Because they keep spreading intellectual bullshit and I'd rather prevent that from happening rather than walking deep in it when I'm walking in the streets.

[@imout671]

You could look at the Bible from a historical/archeological point of view. You may be very surprised. As an example the existence of King David has been proven in our lifetime. If you want to come at it from an intellectual view rather than faith I'd definitely recommend "the case for christ" a remarkable little book by Lee strobel.

[@TheAtheist22]

@@imout671Don't you think there's far more interesting things to do? And if it had this dimension to it only, ie: historical text (rather poor one), I would be ok with it. But no, people attempt to navigate life through it and that is what bothers me deeply.

[@iggle6448]

If I may say, to me as a Christian, your approach seems to be a bit like being hungry every day and having plenty of money but choosing to eat from McDonalds 3x everyday. Instead of which you could enjoy a massive spectrum of foodstuffs, food shops and cuisines ranging from the cheapest, most pedestrian to those that can only be talked about in hushed, poetic tones... depending on your appetites, needs, curiosity. The discovery and practice of faith is somewhat like that - multi-layered, multifaceted, from the transcendentally sublime to the tediously and incredibly ridiculous and back again. There's also the crucial failing that all humans suffer: we don't know what we don't know. There's always more to discover...(And PS, I might venture that perhaps your theology teacher is not the best and might be one of those who'd eviscerate and pulp any subject they taught?!)

[@TheAtheist22]

@@iggle6448 Religion makes no sense, given what we’ve learned about the world so far. It’s called Science. It is where most of our wonder and amazement comes from. It is the way we care for each other (medicine is an example). And if you don’t believe that, next time you’re sick don’t go to the hospital. Just pray and see what happens. I want to see a world where religious education is a thing of the past, abolished, like slavery, cause it is exactly that, man made slavery of the mind.

[@quietackshon]

"Christianity is the answer", said no one. People of faith are the worst kinds of do-gooders. _Pompous wind-bags pretending they occupy the moral high ground. Get a new tune._
