The Comedian Who Laughed His Way to Jesus (Norm Macdonald and the Image of God)

Comedian Norm Macdonald waged an epic nine-year battle with cancer and fought cancer to a draw. When he occasionally got serious during interviews, he would share his ideas about God, Jesus, Christianity, the Bible, evil, and the soul. In this video, David Wood examines Norm's thoughts on people being created in the image of God, and shows how Norm was actually fumbling his way to the Gospel.

Not a Christian, but I’ve been reading the Bible because of norm. Norm is my favorite comedian, and learning about how interested he was in religion is starting to rub off on me. I started reading the Bible because he said you should never judge a book you’ve never read, so simple, sounds like something I’ve heard other people say a million times. But when he said it, I realized he was right. Going to read all of the Bible and see where it takes me. I grew up Mormon, and it kind of ruined my view of religion, norm has somewhat repaired my biases.

[@kingambrosius9125]

How are you making it?

[@McDingus360]

@@kingambrosius9125 It has been interesting, for sure a slow process. There's so many parts of it that I find confusing, and I still have my skepticism. But like norm I have somewhat of an inclination toward a higher power. Some days I read it and some days I don't, I'm reading in chronological order, because I really want to grasp it. I am currently on Genesis 31. I remember when I read about the tower of babel I asked a question to my father about it, there was something I found confusing. After the conversation I realized he has likely never actually read the bible, just funny because it's the inverse of that norm quote, he's in the same situation I was in, just on the opposite side. I enjoy some parts of it, others I find strange. I'm not quite sure what I believe, but it's honestly a fun read. My dad always used to say that the book of mormon is much more fun to read than the bible, but after starting the bible I totally disagree. The historical context alone is worth the read. But I have no one to talk about it with. The religious side of my family is mormon, and it always circles back to that. The rest of my family are on the hippy spectrum, and they don't really see too much value in traditional religious concepts. Thank you for asking that question!

[@kingambrosius9125]

@@McDingus360 Good on you for making the attempt, at least. I would recommend that once you reach Leviticus, you pair your reading with Joshua onwards. Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers mainly deal with ceremonial procedures, which, while extremely important for understanding the shadows of Christ, do not make for exciting reading. So, if you pair them with the following books, it might make it easier for you. It may also help to pair 1 and 2 Chronicles with 1 and 2 Kings since they mostly overlap.

I've been getting nothing but norm on my feed for years. I never expected this crossover.

[@griznation9942]

Norm had an extremely unusual God given gift of evangelism that he probably didn’t even realize he had. In his special way of influence influencing people with logic, sarcasm, and humor, I wonder if he’s unknowingly led more to souls Christ than most who pose the question, “Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?”

[@CJ-lr4uq]

Probably, considering that "accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior" doesn't save anyone. Believing the Gospel is what saves a person.

[@moldyshishkabob]

@@CJ-lr4uq It's semantics, but even the demons know and believe that the Gospel is true. I'm certain there are people who believe that the Gospel can save, but to surrender to Christ means giving up the glory they gather for themselves in this life.

[@CJ-lr4uq]

@moldyshishkabob uh, no. It doesn't say the demons believe the Gospel, the verse states that they believe there is one God. Believing in one God doesn't save, believing the Gospel does. And demons can't believe the Gospel because Jesus did not die for demons. Please actually read the Bible before you go around misquoting it and spreading misinformation. These are peoples' souls we're talking about here. When you do get around to actually reading the Bible, you'll find that nowhere does it state that "surrendering glory to Jesus Christ" is a requirement to save a person. It does however state time and time again to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Believe that He died, was buried and rose again on the third day so that you could be forgiven and have eternal life. That's it. Now I can already tell that you are a faith+works backloader, and that you have a false Gospel. No one can be argued into the truth; it's a heart issue. You'll figure it out on your own at some point, hopefully before it's too late. And before you start mindlessly vomiting up scriptures out of context that you think declare a person must do certain works to be saved, spare me. I've heard them all. I'm not concerned with what you can fabricate through twisting scripture, I'm concerned with what God's Word actually tells us in its entirety.

[@moldyshishkabob]

@@CJ-lr4uq The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for the sins of all mankind. The Gospel is the good news that belief in Jesus Christ leads to His eternal kingdom. Of course the demons believe the Gospel, they obey Jesus when he rebukes them and casts them out of people. They recognize His authority and know His power. They know God's saving power but, in their pride, want to yank people away from Him. They know God can and will destroy them in time, but will take everyone they can with them. They certainly have an understanding of the Gospel and believe that, yes, Jesus Christ saves. But they decided to rebel and not have fealty to God.

[@CJ-lr4uq]

@moldyshishkabob The point is, you're using that passage to insinuate that believing the Gospel is not enough save a person, and that is tragically wrong. It is the one and only requirement to be saved. Nothing more, nothing less.

Jesus says he is life itself. _"I_ am the resurrection and the _life._ Whoever believes in _me_ will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in _me_ will never die." (John 11:25-26) Jesus says he will give rest to your soul. "Come to _me,_ all you who are weary and burdened, and _I_ will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) Jesus says he will quench your spiritual thirst. "Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, 'Let anyone who is thirsty come to _me_ and drink. Whoever believes in _me, as Scripture has said,_ rivers of living water will flow from within them.' By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in _him_ were later to receive." (John 7:37-39)

@@mynameis......23 God bless! Thank you for your comments. Here are some catholic sources debunking transubstantiation: Clement of Alexandria said the wine is "the SYMBOL of the sacred blood" _(The Instructor,_ 2.2). Theodoret said of the bread, "[Christ] broke the SYMBOL and distributed it" _(To the Monks of Constantinople)._ Origen called the bread "a SYMBOL of gratitude to God" _(Against Celsus,_ 8.57). Cyprian said the wine "REPRESENTS the Blood of Christ" (Epistle 63:7). Eusebius of Caesarea called the wine "the SYMBOL of [Christ's] blood," and the bread "the SYMBOL of His body" _(Demonstratia Evangelica,_ 8.1.76-80). Augustine explained Jesus' words, "Understand SPIRITUALLY what I said; you are NOT to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth ... Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be SPIRITUALLY understood" _(Exposition of the Psalms,_ 99.8). He said plainly that the bread is NOT Christ's body, and the wine is NOT his blood. Augustine said of John 6, “If [Jesus'] command...seems to enjoin [encourage] a crime or vice ... IT IS FIGURATIVE. ‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin [encourage] a crime or a vice; IT IS THEREFORE A FIGURE [SYMBOL], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable MEMORY of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us" _(On Christian Doctrine,_ 3:16:24). He said that, since Jesus appeared to be encouraging cannibalism (a crime), he must have been speaking symbolically. Athanasius said, "What [Christ] says is NOT FLESHLY but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might DRAW THEM AWAY FROM THE BODILY NOTION" (Festal Letter, 4.19). He said the bread cannot be Christ's body because there wouldn't be enough to feed everyone.

No, that idea is not only compatible with Christianity but is the main idea of it. St. Athanasius said "God became Man that Man might become God." And if you recoil at that you should know St. Athanasius is also the great champion of the Trinitarian doctrine against the Arian heresy. St Paul says "Do you not know that we will judge angels?"the devils lie was not that we could become divine because that is God's plan for us. The lie was that we could do it apart from God

I didn't even know he was sick!?!...

Norm was no Saint. His down and dirty humor could make a criminal cringe. It appears to me he lived a muti faceted life. I don't know about his religion, but he seemed to have a beautiful heart . My son met him, and he treated him so sweetly. I miss that guy. If I ever run into him, I'll invite him over for a chicken.

I always loved Norm...and i fully believe God did too. Probably the best comedian ever, even by other comedians standards, and i loved his vast intelligence and more than anything, the fact that he seemed to never give any f*cks. Love when he was a judge on the one show, America's Got Talent or something like it and a gay comedian made jokes about the Bible and Christians...something everyone does as we have been chosen as the 1 faith it's okay to make fun of...and he straight told him he was funny, didnt like him and ripped him for making fun of an entire religion without knowing a damn thing about it.

Ok, that was incredible in so many ways. The Norm clips and the follow up comments from you, brother, are two examples of how we are to look and think theologically. Thank you so much. It gives me more to meditate on, and tools for godly, proper witnessing!!!
