Megyn Kelly is joined by Andrew Klavan, Daily Wire host and author of "The Truth and Beauty," to talk about being raised Jewish, what made him become an atheist, how he went "crazy" in his youth, and then how he developed a deep faith in Jesus, and more.

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

I'm so glad to hear this beautiful testimony. I accepted Jesus into my heart 43 years ago. My family was very confused. My parents actually thought I went crazy. But as the years have gone by my family members have embraced the faith also.

[@SeaBreeze2247]

Dear Megyn, thank you for this. You are a marvelous interviewer, letting your guest tell his story without interruption. I so agree with Mr. Klavan’s assertion that a deep and abiding Christian faith has always been the bedrock of western culture, and the strength behind the success of the American Republic. One nation, under God. If we lose that faith as a nation, there is no hope.

[@chikkipop]

Nonsense. Utterly common nonsense.

[@scottgarvy]

Dennis, What does it hurt for someone to do right, to be led by someone that is a great example to follow? Why does it torment you that people are using their freedom? If they are wrong, what is it to you? If they are happy, why does it bother you so much? Let them be Christians and you can believe in Secular Humanism. What a great country that we can do that eh?

[@chikkipop]

@@scottgarvy It's fascinating that you see no harm in self-deception. You ask a series of very silly questions, so let me answer them. *"What does it hurt for someone to do right, to be led by someone that is a great example to follow?"* Uh huh; it just pains me to no end to see people doing right! That was a silly question! But back to reality: the notion that anyone should "follow" or be "led by" an ancient figure is absurd. Knowledge & understanding are cumulative, and the result of human efforts over all of history. There is no single figure anyone needs to follow, and doing so indicates a misunderstanding of the evolution of ideas. *"Why does it torment you that people are using their freedom?"* Ouch. That was even sillier! Back to the real world and the actual subject matter, which has *nothing to do with freedom.* We're free to believe all manner of absurdities, but should we? With freedom comes responsibility, and making good choices matters. *"If they are wrong, what is it to you?"* It surprises me when people give this so little thought. The answer is so obvious; beliefs have *consequences.* Do you wish to live surrounded by superstition, or do you prefer an educated community whose actions are based upon reality instead of ancient myth? Your entire comment is about "freedom" and my seeming opposition to it, which entirely misses the point. If you'd like to get back on topic, let me know and we can discuss. As a refresher, here is the comment which I reacted to: *"...a deep and abiding Christian faith has always been the bedrock of western culture, and the strength behind the success of the American Republic. One nation, under God. If we lose that faith as a nation, there is no hope."* Is there reason to suppose this is true, or not? 😇

[@scottgarvy]

That's totally your opinion and you know what they say about opinions....

[@chikkipop]

@@scottgarvy What they say about opinions is wrong! What matters is how well supported opinions are. Using the old "That's your opinion" line is an easy way to avoid making the effort to support your case. Opinions are not equally valid. This should be abundantly obvious. You can do better, my friend.

Thank you Megyn for letting this man share his faith...I hope it reaches many hearts! When I was 25 I felt like my life was empty and I called out, not really a prayer either. God sent a workmate who invited me to church, though I'd never been to one. I didn't go but attended a Bible Talk and the more I read the Bible, the more I saw how messed up my life was and why I was so unhappy. I got baptized at 26 and my friend told me my spiritual eyes would open and though I didn't believe her, that's exactly what happened. I now know truths I always had questions about. I am now 56 and as my extended family members lives continue to spiral out of control, mine is stable and it is all because of my faith in my salvation through Yeshua.

Over 66 books of the Bible were written by men dedicated to that premise and in the New Testament part of those books, specifically the book of John 14:6 it describes how you can know the truth and be set free. It says that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one gets to the Heavenly Father and eternal life without trusting that only Jesus can get you there. In my lifetime, I’ve seen people try to find meaning for life in so many people and things, but I really believe it’s only through Jesus that you can. Blessings to you! Happy Easter!

Truth Seekers are like salmon swimming up the river to the salmon spawning grounds..there is a call upon them they can't ignore...no matter the hungry bears and jagged rocks that hurt them as they swim against the current...they just keep moving forward, they can't help themselves. A Truth Seeker in the West typically knows the name of Jesus, but, Truth Seekers want to actually know Him, not just know about Him, so they rarely fit into the religious institutions of Christendom. Truth Seekers in the East typically don't know the name of Jesus, but, they stand for Truth even if it gets them killed e.g. if a young man tells his village chief it's wrong for that chief to kill a man so he can have his wife, and then the yong man gets a spear through his heart for speaking so fearlessly, I guarantee that he'll be greeted by Jesus and enter Paradise. Holy God plants Truth Seekers all over this earth! Truth Seekers are also fearless Truth Speakers...it just kind of comes with the job 😏

@@catherinecastle8576 *"The Source of Truth."* That's so funny! Imagine thinking like that, completely lacking in nuance, as though *Truth* with an uppercase "T" is an actual thing. *"Most religious beliefs and humanist philosophies have some truth, but, none of them are the Source."* Sadly, religions are the cause of the kind of confusion common to all believers, who learn of an unseen external "source" which is no more than a human creation. That you have been indoctrinated to believe otherwise attests to your willingness to submit to a comforting story, and the willingness of religions to scam their flock in order to remain in business.

[@catherinecastle8576]

@@chikkipop can you prove that i'm wrong? So far you're doing no better than what you accuse me...being opinionated. But, that's fine with me. I started adult life telling people "the Bible is nothing but a crutch for psychological cripples". So I am not lacking in compassion for you 😁 Dennis, are you married? What proof is there that your spouse loves you??? That your spouse married you? Longevity? No divorce? What your spouse says or does to or for you? Or is it enough you want to believe your spouse loves you? With many marriages starting in fornication, moving onto adultery, abortions and divorce, sometimes murder, being married is no proof of love, is it? So how do you prove love...or prove hate for that matter? Some people absolutely hate and denounce unrighteousness and injustice - does that make them hateful people that need to be destroyed? Criminals might think so. Communists might think so. Also, there are many things we believe, yet, we have no faith (no trust) in them. I believe water can quench my thirst and, at the same time, unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, I must also choose to trust that the water isn't poisoned. If it's good quality well water, not only do I believe its water, but, I also trust it, even though I don't necessarily know beyond doubt that on that particular day it was not poisoned by a crazy neighbor. I also believe Biden and Trudeau are our Western Leaders, yet, I've never personally met them. So do I trust the media who tells me who they are? Do I trust that they are good Leaders. No. Not even a little bit. While I do believe we have a MSNM and that our Dear Leaders exist, but, I do NOT trust them. In my case, I place my trust in Holy Divine God and not in anyone or anything created, not anymore. My first 35 years of life experience told me that I could marry my husband having known him only 5 months, and 31 years later we're doing fine. Could I have proved to anyone our love for each other was real? Beyond doubt? No. Yet, I knew...just as I know God's love for me s not a figment of my imagination, and that His enduring Truth is even more real to me than is my (created) husband who, with lots of proofs and with no doubts, is my very best friend on earth. He, by the way, is an Evolutionist so sometimes our conversations are quite interesting 😂 The psyche (soul) exists above the physical and material realm and below the spirit(ual)...where experience, knowledge, beliefs and faith (trust) battle it out between the Source of Truth & Love and the Source of Lies and Hate...and some of us (like Spawning Salmon) have been Truth Seekers all our lives, it's like we're driven ever forward to accomplish something that only gets revealed day by day, year by year, and mainly by God's Holy Spirit and with God as the Living Word and with God's own words. However, not all Truth Seekers have the privilege of being born into and raised in national Christendom (the West) with it's civilized rule of law and it's spiritual NT Christian Bibles available even in our hotels. Instead, some Truth Seekers are born into cultures where neither rule of law nor bibles are available to protect their rights and develop their character, and provide insight into our Creator's Plans for His human creation. Yet, they still, almost blindly, seek a path of love and truth, no matter what it costs them. In many ways I admire those Truth Seekers most of all. Well, I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone, I'm merely expressing my beliefs and encouraging others to believe as do I...but, Jesus never imposed Himself on me, so neither do I ever impose my beliefs about Him on others. Yet, I must "show Him off" because He has answered every question I've ever asked, even if it took years, and He was so patient with me during my immature stage...so, yeah, I recommend Jesus to anyone who cares to listen! By the way, I do not go to church, I do not attend any of Christendom's many religious organizations and denominations. I follow only Jesus. I read my Bible, pray, trust and obey. That's it, that's all. Anyhow, Dennis, you've given me things to think about 😏 and I wish you all the best life on earth has to offer.

He found Christianity which was presented to him as a very attractive alternative with far more substance than his "Judaism". It's really a shame. Klavan is very bright, and I am certain that deep inside Klavan has inner doubts about Christian orthodox tenets.

He never went from Judaism to Christianity. It's more like Secularism to Christianity, he never did the proper research into Judaism, he just assumed that it's not worth the time to look into. It's VERY unfortunate that he forfeited his Jewish faith for a different religion that started from Judaism. So very sad!

[@garymcaleer6112]

Excellent testimony. We all have to start somewhere. I started when I went to a fortuneteller with tarot cards in NYC. She laid the cards down in front of me and they described my past, present, and decisions I had just made for my future with absolute precision. I was just a dumb pot smoking kid out of high school but I had the good sense to ask: Who shuffled the deck? Then later when I read the Bible through for the first time I learned the distinctions between virtue and vice. And it all hinges on the Ten Commandments, which none of the churches obey. Christians deny the Law Christ obeyed, while the Jews deny the Bible as a whole. Can't have one without the other.

Thank you for sharing your Testimony!!! It’s refreshing!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jody6851]

I'm glad he found sanity. Jesus was a great man who had a lot to teach and to reform the entrenched interests that were pervasive in the Temple priesthood, as happens with any human institution once it becomes rich and powerful. Look at the Vatican. Or Moscow. Or Washington DC for that matter. He had many beautiful ideas to share. As do many great people in history. So did Buddha and Lao Tzu. So did many great philosophers. So did the authors of the Federalist Papers that are the soul of this nation. BUT -- the Gospels as we know them today can easily be debunked. One example: early Christianity claimed Jesus fulfilled the Jewish prophesy that the Messiah would be a descendant of the House of King David, lineages passed on by the father under Jewish law. And by the way -- there is NO claim in those prophesies that the Messiah would be God incarnate on Earth. It was always accepted he'd be a mortal man. If God is all-powerful, why would he need to pretend he's a man on earth to get anything done in the first place? If Jesus was God incarnate, how can he die on the Cross? God is immortal. Therefore, the Crucifixion was in effect a stunt because he never died by the fact he was actually God and therefore immortal. So how could his "death" have cleansed mankind of its sins? Unless you say the act of appearing to die when in fact there was no real death cleansed mankind of its sins. But then look around you now. Do you see any sins cleansed? The world is as perverse as it was 2000 years ago. Nothing has changed except the toys we have and gladiator fights are no longer acceptable, though Ultimate Fighting is getting up there. Be honest now. If I was born with such innate mathematical genius that I could do differential calculus at the age of five, what does that prove? That any person can do the same if they really try? And somehow by doing so in some way that still needs explanation as to how I pulled it off, I've absolved everyone of their sins? Followed by everyone going back to their old habits. Now back to the House of David: The Gospels claim that because Joseph was a descendant of King David's lineage, his son Jesus, therefore, was also of that lineage and satisfied that part of the Messianic prophecy. Unfortunately, how can this be possible if Jesus came from a virgin birth with Mary impregnated by God? That means Joseph was not Jesus' father. God was. So that negates the entire prophecy cited to justify the belief that Jesus was the Messiah citing his lineage. Then there are the "amazing" coincidences of other religious cults that existed at the same time 2000 years ago when the early Christian missionaries set out to convert the Greco-Roman pagan world. The Persian cult Mithraism, very popular in the Roman Army, centered around a prophet named Mithraites. According to this religion, Mithraites was born under the sign of a shooting star, was visited at birth by three wise men, and its holy day was Sunday rather than the Jewish Saturday. Sound familiar? Then there's the Egyptian ISIS fertility cult that was also quite popular in the pagan Greco-Roman world. ISIS was a female fertility goddess who was born of a virgin goddess and during religious processions was depicted as a goddess child cradled by the mother goddess in a Madonna-like pose. Also, sound familiar? What better way for proselytizers to mix popular pagan beliefs with the parts of Judaism early Christians wanted to keep to make it as easy as possible to convert since they used Jewish prophecy and core beliefs to justify the new religion, from the faith Jesus NEVER renounced (show me anywhere in any Christian writing where Jesus renounced his Judaism) to come up with a new religion that would be easier to spread and push out the competition. And if your goal is to convert the Romans, it's pretty self-defeating to blame them for the death of the Savior you're telling them to worship even if true, especially if they are considering Judaism as well (2000 years ago it was estimated that 1 in 10 people living in the empire was Jewish believe it or not), even if an adult Roman male would be required to be circumcised. Try telling a 30-year-old Roman centurion if he wants to join the club, he's got to be circumcised for starters. Good luck on that one. Better to make it easier by telling them the new religion is a much better version than Judaism, they don't have to be circumcised, they can continue to enjoy those pork dishes they love, and by amazing coincidence, much of Mithraism and the ISIS cult just happens to be exactly like the Christian faith. But just in case they're still tempted to become Jews if they're having their doubts about paganism, could care less about pork dishes, and they'll get over the pain of adult circumcision, then for good measure blame Jesus' death collectively on the Jews as in the Gospel of John so as to beat the competition. Add that Jesus' birthday just happens to fall on the same day as Saturnalia December 21, the day Roman pagans celebrated the Winter Solstice, and there you have it. The Gospels portray poor Pontius Pilot as being a bit hapless, caught in the middle of an internal Jewish dispute out of his control, a mild-mannered man at heart just wanting to keep the peace, so he orders Jesus' death to mollify those pesky Temple high priests, washes his hands of the whole thing, and wishes he could have done otherwise. This whole story is bunk. Historians know from Roman texts that Pontius Pilot was so incredibly brutal, that no less than crazy Emperor Caligula himself was sick of Pilot's brutality, and actually ordered Pilot recalled from Judea to put a stop to it. Therefore, the Gospels description of Pilot is debunked by actual historical texts from the time. And under Jewish law, no one is to be condemned to death during Passover, and the highest Jewish court -- the Sanhedrin -- hadn't ordered anyone executed in years at the time. The Last Supper was a Passover seder. The whole Crucifixion story takes place during Passover. Then there's the fact that the four Gospels were the only four chosen during the Council of Nicaea in the 4th Century out of many different Christian gospels existing at the time including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gnostic Gospels. Some of those gospels didn't even mention a crucifixion or claim that Jesus was God in the form of a man. The four Gospels that are the foundation of what today is Christianity and that Andrew Klavan is finding such spirituality in were selected by vote by the delegation of priests attending to eliminate any Christian beliefs this small elite decided in their own minds was heresy for whatever their agenda was. And even with that final vote, it wasn't enough to prevent two factions dividing the newly converted Germanic tribes in the 7th Century from going to war with each other -- the Arian Wars -- in which they actually waged war over the issue of whether or not Jesus was God incarnate at birth (Nicen Creed) or only became of divine substance later in life (Arianism). Showing human beings will find a reason to butcher each other over anything. But in the end, if this brought sanity back to Klavan's life, I'm happy for him. As long as he's happy and doesn't hurt anybody, as the saying goes.

[@peterbassey9668]

The profundity of the gospels can often be so mind boggling. Recently, while watching the movie Schindler’s List, it suddenly struck me that in the same way Jesus the innocent One was killed so we the guilty might escape punishment is pretty much how the Jews in 1930s/40s Germany were killed for no obvious sin with the net effect that their holocaust is what saves the guilty Islamists from being targeted for retaliation today. Had the world never witnessed the holocaust, it is arguable that the rampant terrorism of Islamists would have triggered several attempts in diverse places to annihilate followers of that faith by now; even though amazingly the same Jews are so hated and wished dead by the Islamists.

How to be saved and be right with God for eternal life! 1-Admit you’re a sinner and be willing to turn from your sins towards God. 2-Believe onto Jesus Christ,who being the Son of God, died on the cross, was buried and resurrected for the forgiveness of our sins as a free gift. 3-Confess onto God,asking to be saved accepting this free gift of salvation, to start a new life being born again after being saved from your sins. Scripture links below. The romans road to salvation. 1.Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" 2.Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” 3.Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 4.Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all that have sinned:" 5.Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” 6.Romans 10:9, “That is thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” 7.Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. More scripture. John 3:16-17 16."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 17.”For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” Romans 5:8-9 8."But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9."Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 1."Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2."By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.” 3."For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;” 4."And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

There's the magic word, reason with oneself. it's actually evolving to be enlightened. The atheist mother is in limbo concerning God, but, she is correct to be in limbo because her imprinted knowledge is trying to evolve and enlighten her. Jesus was nailed to a cross for his efforts because he had evolved and was enlightened by his evolving. No need to seek a sanctum for ones solace. All the answers are imprinted within you, the people. The whole Universe knows nothing about any religions, denominations, cults, sects history of this Earth, these are all man made narratives that require believers in order to operate because they have shown you the people their way for a god interaction interpretation.

As a spiritually-oriented psychoanalyst, I agree what is said here, but might add that faith in God is helped by knowing that God put faith in us when we were created, and that helping to build a sane world is an outgrowth of building a sane self, one that engenders faith that, even without knowing our next step, we can look inwards and find a wise and loving direction.
