Young Earth. I think it's very clear in the Bible, and once you try and see something as symbolic that isn't clearly presented to us as symbolic then it's a dangerous trajectory

Ooof why did y’all change the subject every time you were challenged intellectually or theologically?

[@HelloTygr]

I don’t have a position on young/old earth, although I lean toward old. I haven’t seen any good fruit from talking about it unless both people don’t really care and it becomes a fun intellectual exercise like “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin”. Usually it devolves into the young-earth side saying “well I guess you don’t believe the bible so you’re not a true Christian” and the old-earth side saying “well I guess you’re stupid and I don’t want to be friends with a stupid person”. Both sides are dumb when they start throwing those kinds of accusations and need more grace and love.

He is taking the post modern, come as you are and never change Christianity, which is not even remotely Christian. He even denigrates Biblical believers in a way that brings Matt 25 to mind as a warning. One topic at a time his train of thought disguises itself as thoughtful and reflective of a particular ideologically based view of Jesus as a pacifist monk. But collectively it is far off base, so much so to be even demonic at times. One true telling example is that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. That is ridiculous. That is like saying sin all you want. Voting Democrat is literally declaring Satan as one’s master as that party inverts all 10 of the 10 commandments as public policy. Jesus said, “Follow me,” not say my name. Following Him means your vote matters, your actions matter, and being a false teacher definitely matters.

I want to respond to the abortion debate at around 20:00. Somehow, I don’t think P&M will look up statistics even though they said they would. The well documented fact is that abortion rates go down, inside and outside of the United States, under democratic leadership. Why? Because it doesn’t work to shame people out of abortions and it doesn’t work to put legislation in the law banning abortions (they have always just moved underground). What works is providing education about and access to birth control, something that the left is more inclined to do. If you think voting pro-life is protecting babies, you have to know that changing legislation to be more restrictive has never worked. What works is birth control. But Christians aren’t ready for that conversation.

Well here's the thing about abortion. Conservative Ladies - do you want your congressman sitting beside the exam table while you're up there getting a pelvic exam, micromanaging your OB/GYN? Does that make you uncomfortable? Too bad - you voted for it. By being "pro-life" and outlawing abortion, you are allowing our government to regulate your female health. Abortion is a horrible, horrible situation to be faced with, but not every situation is the same. Conservatives just assume that it's black and white. They assume every woman wanting an abortion didn't manage their birth control responsibly and now they don't want to live with the consequences. There are situations of all sorts - situations where the life of the mother is in danger, situations where the baby won't survive, medical scenarios of every kind that your OB/GYN needs to look at individually. Being "pro-choice" does not mean that you believe that women can either choose to abort their pregnancies or not. It does mean that you support giving your physician the freedom to treat their patient as best they can, no matter how dire the situation may be. There is so much more to it that conservatives just won't admit. Every situation is different, every woman as different. American OB/GYNs need the freedom to be the best empathetic professionals that they are trained to be.

[@AnnSmajstrla]

Thank you. & while we’re here I’d like to implore those who consider themselves “pro-life” to seriously consider supporting additional policies that would significantly benefit children and families. If one is against abortion, then it follows that advocating for expanding programs like free school lunches, robust parental leave policies, and improved healthcare access should also be priorities.

[@laurap6870]

I mean this respectfully. Many Christians, including myself, support education and birth control. But that doesn't mean if someone gets pregnant they can kill their baby just because they weren't educated enough or had access to birth control. Everyone knows having sex can cause you to become pregnant. There needs to be some accountability for that person (and the father). Accidents happen but does that make it ok to kill a baby?

[@davediaz1742]

I think P&M thoughts on the border come off as very “I saw this on Facebook.” I think we should look at it first from a Christian view and how we are to treat our neighbors and then from a political view. Josh seems to be approaching it from a place of empathy and first account experience with people who have crossed the border illegally. Safety matters, the legal system matters, but I agree, this is pro-life, American and non. And there needs to be a better system for aiding them. Also, the “immigrant” terms gets thrown around a lot for people crossing the boarder, not for any Europeans or middle Eastern being in the country illegally.

[@tarynthompson4141]

As a christian I feel like there should be protection at the border and make sure the people coming and becoming citizens in have good intentions for being here(not a terrorist, not trafficking drugs or child, not murders or rapists). I think we need to create a faster screening for people who do have those good intentions, but we should have a system to screen people properly. I do think we should give basic food, water and shelter to those who are at the border but are waiting for approval or not. I actually don't think Jesus would like either president Trump or president Biden. Both of them have serious issues that go against biblical teachings and frankly it's sad that those are the two we get to vote on when there were much better people wanting to run. We can be sympathetic to the people at the border and still do the best we can to ensure the safety of those already here. If we let just anyone in, the country will eventually become just like the countries these people are fleeing from. But there has to be a better way of treating people waiting and trying to get a green card.

[@ky4864]

[@christyjm11]

Interesting how it seemed like the main difference- legalism over small issues vs. focusing on more important issues and nuance- was lost. It seemed like the whole time P&M were trying to just find situations to justify when legalism was okay while missing the bigger point entirely. And focusing so much on politics. I think a lot of the things harped on are why people deconstruct (politics, rules) instead of focusing on more important matters like seeking & saving the lost, helping foster children (who there isn’t a 2 year waiting list for- many wait in group homes and age out), caring for SA victims (esp in the church), advocating against racism… I think Josh’s life experiences really show how a sheltered home schooled life with lack of diversity can make you pretty pigeon holed in your opinions.

[@christyjm11]

It really reminds me of this verse: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former." - Matthew 23: 23. Focusing more on expressing martial love and which music is okay to listen to instead of justice, mercy & faithfulness.

[@amandaklein2681]

I’m very bothered by the justification that there should be blanket legislation for abortion because instances of rape, incest or danger to the mother’s health are “very rare” and “not the majority.” Even if it’s just a few women that will die if they carry their babies to term, don’t THEIR lives matter? It seems very contradictory to be “pro-life” while also disregarding the health and safety of women.

[@shelbyjs7031]

Exactly. I don't care how "low" the percentage is. Even if the number is only one. That's still ONE person, ONE whole human who should have a choice.

[@madelynnnikole]

And there are millions of whole humans that have died at the hands of abortionists and mothers who didn't want to protect their living human child in the womb.

[@justinekeesee6495]

I see what you mean but I feel the exact same way about the blanket legestlaion that wants to allow all abortion with the justification that there are a few people who may have a good reason out or the hundreds of thousands of abortions that take place each year. To me I care about the women and the children but it seems you only care about the women. I volunteer and donate my own money to help pregnant woman be able to support themselves and their baby so they don’t have to be forced into abortion. I don’t just tell women they don’t have a choice. As a woman I know that it’s a big deal, but I also know that abortion not only ends their child’s life, it can frequently cause health problems, infertility, and extreme trauma to the woman. It’s not a woman or baby side that I’m on, it’s a life side. Both lives are better without murder. Also Row vs Wade did not make medically necessary abortions illegal so that argument is really not a fair one to make.

We're also not called to be so full of black and white truth stances that we end up being rude and judgemental. P&M are doing a great job in creating a space where opposing sides can come together, talk it out and leave still disagreeing IN LOVE. Every single person they've done this series with has said that they've loved having them over and would definitely hang out again and that says a lot.

That was a really good video, you guys! I enjoyed seeing Christian Democrats confront Christian Republicans on some things and vice versa. I actually enjoyed some of Josh's views on certain things like leaning toward some the old earth beliefs and immigrants. (His point about reactions to migrants' crimes versus the mass shootings by white people was so spot on.) His leanings toward the euphemism of "pro-choice" and some of his empathy in that area I would not agree with though. Empathy toward migrants (which this country is made up of) who are human beings just like us and are people the Bible is very clear we should be good toward ("Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt."[-Ex 22:21]; "I was stranger and you gave me no welcome"[-Mt 25:43]; etc.) is the right use of empathy. (I don't believe in no border either though, but rather a system that can help these people instead choosing the easiest route of washing our hands of them.) Empathy for the option of an abortion is not empathy at all because you're killing an innocent human person to "solve a problem". Just like Pope Francis says, abortion to get rid of a problem is like the Mafia hiring a hitman. This video just made me remember once again why I wouldn't identify as either politcal party as they stand today--I cherish a balanced point of view and don't wish to believe everything coming from one political party.

This was recommended to me by KZbin and after watching it I really think Josh is an amazing example of how Jesus believed others should be treated, and by extension demonstrates how Jesus would enact his kindness and compassion towards others.

However, their behavior falls more in line with the Pharisees and would be abhorred by Jesus.

[@loafiest]

I appreciate you all's willingness to engage with those you disagree with, but respectfully, I think you should consider the way you respond. There's a difference between disagreeing and just arguing in bad faith. Anytime Josh or his wife made an argument that you disagreed with, you deflected or you moved the goal posts. You used a lot of whataboutism or strawman arguments. I don't think either of you did this on purpose, but it felt like I was watching a gish gallop for a lot of your discussions and it was unpleasant to listen to. One example that comes to mind is when you discussed Josh's response to Paul's modesty video, and Josh explained the reason for his response and that he has a lot of nuanced feelings on the topic of modesty. His wife chimed in and explained her perspective too. Paul's response, though well-intentioned, came across as doubling down as though Josh hadn't said anything. This made him come off as arrogant and unengaged, and I'm certain that was not his intention. A better response may have looked like: "Hmm, it sounds like we have some different views on this topic. Even so, I hear what you're saying and it was never my intention to make anyone feel hurt or shamed. I'm truly sorry if anyone felt that way in response to my video, and I will make efforts to be gentler when discussing it in the future." To be clear, I'm a Christian who agrees and disagrees with you on many things, but this, to me, was not a positive encounter. I think you should take some serious consideration on what your goal of this series is, because right now, it comes across as "Paul and Morgan tell a bunch of backsliders how REAL Christians should live" and that's pretty bad.

I think this one is my favorite so far because it seemed like you guys both were very respectful and I think Chad and his wife made me think more about how critical I can be.

As a woman, he seems to hold a woman’s opinion very highly, so as a woman who has debated abortion for many years I am so tired of hearing that same old nonsense “Pro choice is not pro death” or “Pro choice is not pro abortion” Yes it is. Respectfully yes it is. Let me ask you this what does abortion do? The classic pro choice answer is usually “To end a pregnancy” now let me ask another question how is a pregnancy ended? The answer is child birth or death. Here’s another one in what two ways does an unborn child’s life end? The answer is miscarriage or abortion. Now what is the differences between a miscarriage and an abortion? A miscarriage is not chosen by the mother and an abortion is chosen, so literally a mother is choosing death for her child when she chooses abortion. So that being said pro choice is pro abortion and pro abortion is pro death. Just call it what it is don’t play word games just own up to the fact that you believe it’s okay for women to end the life of their unborn child under certain circumstances.

Being set apart from the world has to do with Jesus in you who's helping you respond with the fruits of the spirit. Responding in love when people without Christ respond in offense having peace when circumstances are terrible and non Christians would be in turmoil having joy when times are hard. Basically having a new heart through Jesus. The inside is what makes us set apart not saying it won't show on the outside but so often the focus is on the outside alone!

[@ky4864]

Love this. What set Jesus apart was his love and empathy. People found it strange that he was kind to the woman “taken in adultery,” that he gave the parable of the good samaritan and the ten lepers. Throughout the whole immigration debate, I just kept thinking of Jesus’s response to the question, “and who is my neighbor?’

21:30 Paul, you asked if the baby should be punished for the sins of someone else when discussing abortions in cases of sexual assault. Do you rather the rape victim be doubly punished for someone else's sins? I will pray you find compassion for that perspective. It's understandable that you will never have a first-hand experience of that position.

[@taramurray7814]

I see a lot of pushback on Paul and Morgan in the comments and just wanted to let you guys know I think it is really cool how much you were able to listen to the other side of things and show kindness, I would have a really hard time hearing a Christian defend abortion at all. If they are an innocent human made in the image of God they should never be the one punished for someone else’s crimes. It seems like a lot of leftist Christians don’t think Christians or people should ever have to go through hard times. Maybe God does allow someone to be raped - He is still in control and the fact that that happened was a result of sin in the world yet God promises He works all things together for good. Do you think God is a liar when He says that? Having children is hard but it’s not a death sentence and won’t crush your dreams and the fact that Christians view human life like that is really sad 😢 (also I have heard so many stories from people that I personally know talking about how doctors said going through with a pregnancy would kill the mother but then both the mother and the baby are completely healthy). babies are beautiful and wonderful and were created in the image of God and deserve a chance to live even though life is hard and they are going to go through tough times. We all go through trials and God uses it for good ❤️ read James 1. Also just because a man isn’t a woman doesn’t mean he can’t have any opinions or beliefs about women… I am not a man but I have plenty of beliefs I have based on the Bible about how they should conduct themselves. Where in the Bible does it say you need to have the same race or gender as someone else to call out their sin? If you are basing it off of Scripture, why does it matter who says it? It’s God speaking through scripture and He can use anyone He chooses to through the Holy Spirit. We don’t get to decide who does or doesn’t get to be His disciples and He calls us to call out sin, first in your own life.

It was really crazy to hear some of these different topics. I really just don’t understand how these extremely liberal Christians still live their lives following the Word but living like the world.

[@ohuntermc9321]

Probably because deep down they know the Bible is not the answer to every single obstacle in life. It’s a series of letters written 2000+. It’s very outdated in a lot of ways and we have progressed significantly since then.

[@teamleadjosh]

@@ohuntermc9321 The Bible is very clear about the value of human life so I can’t see how the abortion issue is so confusing

[@marudlk1787]

Genesis 1 and 2 are clearly poems, you can trace the structure of the second chapter (7 days) back to an old sumeric chant. The way the earth is poetically described (with the four columns) is a reference to ancient temples. The main message: God is the creator. He made men in his image. The earth is his temple (=everything under the sun is made for his worship). The old tribes didn’t want to explain the beginning of the earth scientifically as we do now. There explanation is still not less true. Just on another dimension.

Hey y'all! When it comes to fostering and adoption, it's good to know how unethical some of these practices can be. No there are not enough babies for adoption, but there are plenty of older children in the system. We should be encouraging women to keep their babies and provide ways to help them financially. Adoption isnt an easy solution, especially when the mother wants to keep her baby but feels she doesn't have the means too. Baby adoptions can be very unethical as it is a very profitable business. Just wanted to let y'all know.

[@megangoodrich9881]

I enjoy listening to series where Christians can have a healthy discussion of differences and still remain civil as being brothers and sisters in Christ. I think something to consider here is that in modern American Christianity we see many people who form their Christianity on what they feel to be true or what they experience. Regardless of personal opinions, our ultimate standard of truth must come from the Bible as it is our ultimate truth not opinion. It seemed to me that several commenters that Paul and Morgan mentioned were stamped legalistic when the Bible actually gives comments on this. Josh, as a Christian, I would encourage you search the scriptures for these opinions. It’s not legalistic to view covering your body when scriptures gives reference to covering your “nakedness” and it even gives discription of what that is. Scripture defends the sanctity of life. Scripture defends creationism in 7 literal days. I think the larger problem here is “this is what I believe then let me find an example in the Bible that looks like my view”. Careful to remember the context of scripture is saying. We are to hold other Christian accountable. Matthew 18:6 says, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Little one refers to a child of God, a Christian. We are to hold Christian’s accountable when they mislead others. I believe Paul, as another Christian influencer, was loving challenging you to be accountable. Thank you for the back and forth but remember the Scriptures. We are called to be holy, set apart, peculiar people. We are to love changed transformed lives from the world! Thanks Paul and Morgan for having these difficult conversations! ❤

Lost me at Biden is he’s pro-choice not pro abortion. Does he not understand what pro choice is?

[@plantlady7394]

Pro-choice = in favor of allowing individuals to make a decision to continue a pregnancy based on their own specific circumstances without excessive regulation from government. Pro-abortion = someone who is in favor of legal and accessible access to abortion as a means to end a pregnancy. (Note: some people incorrectly think pro abortion means thinking all pregnancies should be aborted or in favor of coercive abortion.) Those two terms are related, and in a Venn-diagram would have some overlap, but they are in fact different terms. I think Biden is pro-choice and pro-abortion.

[@VeryAbby]

Exactly! Being pro-choice means you're pro-abortion. Period. And Biden has celebrated abortion so many times.

[@CustomBlocks]

I appreciate Josh’s desire to be empathetic and I do think he has some good points on modesty but to say the abortion debate can be nuanced is crazy- killing a baby is never justified no matter what circumstances led to its conception. Also I feel like this needs to be said- the Bible is black and white on morality but God still uses imperfect people to serve His purposes but that doesn’t mean we should accept the sin of other believers just as I would hope they wouldn’t be accepting of my sin

[@aliceevans2180]

As someone who has a few Christian friends going more liberal, I feel like this conversation has helped me to humanise the person and understand the reasons why people are more tempted to be perhaps a bit too open minded, especially those who have seen church badly treating other Christians who agree differently . I don't agree with Josh on a lot of things, but I also understand he's witnessed a lot of things which a person shouldn't in a church, is on a journey trying to disentangle what he grew up with vs what he feels is right before the Lord and i respect him for that.. him and Sydney seem really nice people too!
