- Many claim to know the true will of God, but only He has a say during the final judgement. While I cannot know for certain what His final judgment will entail beyond the fact that it will be perfect, this is what I believe God truly wants from us.

I turned away from conservative speakers because i saw the lack of compassion they had but I still watch you years later. The way you speak about jesus has made me closer to believing in god. im still an atheist but i value your perspective
The left uses compassion to slaughter innocent life and promote vice. Pundits too often use strong statements to draw attention.
Many right wing online pundits are all in it for just money that’s it. Cough cough Tucker Carlson
Ephesians 2:8,9 - For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
You guys are conflating terms here when you bring up Eph 2, Andrew is talking “works” specifically when he brings up Agape love, you can have Faith Jesus saved you but just have no love or emotion in caring for your kids, maybe you’re doing everything because you’re following rules or out of fear. When Paul talks about faith vs “works”, he’s making a distinction between the Judaisers in Galatians/Acts 15 trying to push the Mosaic Law on the Gentiles. Simply acknowledging Christ probably existed and probably died for your sins is not the kind of faith Paul’s talking about, your not justified by your works but the love you radiate and shine out from yourselves is an extension of the “Faith” you truly have in Christ, this is why he said you’ll know who’s a true believer by their fruit.
I know I am not perfect. I know I don't trust God or follow Him the way I am supposed to. I also know I am broken and I need Jesus Christ. I am grateful He died for me and took my place on the cross. I know its nothing I have done to deserve it, but He did everything for me because He loves me. I pray that people believe in Jesus Christ and what He did for us all. I pray my wife and children come to know Jesus and I will always tell them the truth about Him. I hate my sin, I need His help to turn away from it. He has delivered me, and I know it will be a struggle of good and evil inside me until the day I die. I just pray He gives me the strength to carry on and endure, and I will never stop loving Him. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Yahweh. Thank you Holy Spirit.
🙏🙏🙏
Amen
Beautifully said!! Blessings from Canada!
So well said. My prayer also. Thank you and God bless you.
God bless you and your house brother, you are not alone nor will you be forsaken! Blessings to you!!!
Andrew, truly you are a son of the Father. In all my years I have never heard that take on the Samaritan. The Bible says “test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” I know Godly wisdom when I hear it. Your words touched my heart.
The Lord has been smacking me with Romans 14 for more than 20 years. Nonessential points of doctrine are for discussion, not arguments and schism.
To accept him as Lord and savior,
Repent of your sins, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and be filled with the spirit.
Nah.
I wish you would stop teaching a false Gospel. You do not follow the Christ of the Bible. Catholic church is a false religion.
Nauseating.
@@gitfoad8032always some internet edgelord with a cat profile picture hating on Christ as if his opinion carries weight.
Baptism isn't necessary for salvation, it is a representation of the internal change Christ has made in you. It is good to be baptized, but it doesn't play into your salvation. None of the Catholic requirements can affect your salvation one way or another, it is entirely Christ's substitutionary sacrifice that saves us. Our works (fruits) prove our salvation and testify of it, but our works and righteousness are filthy rags, we can never earn our salvation even partially.
Andrew says “it’s not what you do, it’s who you are,” and believes the requirement is “agape love,” “the image of God.” This is true. For, Jesus said that to love is to obey the whole law, and the standard is the requirement of the law.
However, nobody meets that standard. Nobody. Romans 1-2. So Jesus did it for us, for those who believe, they receive the forgiveness of sins and therefore meet the requirement (Roman’s 3 and 8:1-4). So you must believe in Jesus.
I shudder a little as I tap this into my phone. But Klavan (no "e"s) . I love Ben but I can see no way to enter heaven without asking Jesus to save them (pay our sin debt). But I agree, we can not judge who will enter Heaven. Additionally, as a Christian, hating lost people does not make sense. Unsaved people are captives.
Frankly Ben is exactly what Jews are supposed to be leading to the second coming. Lost, rejecting Jesus. He, Andrew, & DW are taking it a step further to evil by attacking Christianity for Satan eith this Christ is King is racist crap.
To love God to follow his teachings. (Found in the BIBLE)
Following his teachings isn’t the gospel. Following his teachings doesn’t save. Repenting and trusting in Christ does.
@@KnightFel What does that mean. Exactly.
People keep saying that. What does it mean?
When you're in a marriage, do you only have to say I love you and have the feeling of love?
No. Obviously.
So stop telling people that the only part of the story is accepting and trusting Jesus. Yes, that is important, the most important part, but to act as if OUR CONDUCT is not part of the puzzle is lying to people. Just as in the Samaritan story.
Well Christs command is to love one another first and foremost.
If the gospel is corrupted, then the Christian is corrupted. We are called to preach the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and His saving grace. That no man can come to the Father, except by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, His only begotten Son.

@@notloki3377Satan blinds those who hate the truth! I pray that God would open your eyes. For, the standard is God’s righteousness and there is his wrath for everyone who doesn’t perfectly keep it. But Jesus died to take away the sins of the world.

It’s not that God “abandons” people Mr Klavan! It’s that we all already abandoned God and He rescues us. If Shapiro or Petersen “do great work where they are” God is not somehow obligated to them to “not abandon them” as if this were like the US withdrawing from Afghanistan and leaving behind translators or something. Salvation is not by works. We don’t earn it “by doing good things where God places us”. It is by faith alone through Christ alone. No one comes to the Father but by Christ. Sir it makes me afraid that you don’t understand the gospel and I sincerely hope you will give a concerted re-read of Romans and the gospel of John. I get where you are coming from - that all the book knowledge and theology in the world is worthless without the INNER transformation of the heart that places the love of Christ in our hearts and transforms us from the inside out but some of your language sounds a lot like someone like Ben can actively deny the Son of God to whom all authority and power has been given and yet can still enter the Kingdom because he did good works.
You cannot deny Christ and be adopted as a child of God. It is THROUGH Christ that we enter into that adoption. Solus Christus, Soli deo Gloria.
Accepting Jesus is the most important part.
Works are important. For Faith without works is dead. Jesus would not have spent so much time preaching about our conduct if what we do is unimportant. There would be no emphasis put on repenting of sin and turning away from sin if it did not matter. Aceppt Christ. Love Christ. LISTEN to Jesus. It does require a change in behavior. Love is not an idle thing. A marriage does not survive merely on a feeling alone. It requires work.
You guys are conflating terms here when you bring up Eph 2, Andrew is talking “works” specifically when he brings up Agape love, you can have Faith Jesus saved you but just have no love or emotion in caring for your kids, maybe you’re doing everything because you’re following rules or out of fear.

They either follow Christ or Satan.
End of story.
James 2:
26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Key word Faith comes before works. Why? Because faith comes from the Latin word fidelis
translated means (loyal trust to the truth). The opposite is pride:(blind loyalty, blind trust in unverified truth) which is Pride the cardinal sin. Putting blind works before saving faith is pride and cannot save.
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
@@grahamjones5400 Well what's the implication... Andrew follows Satan 'cause his theology isn't perfect in you guys eyes?
We are each estranged from God because of our own sin, yet God reconciled us to Him through love by the death of Jesus on a cross, so that through faith in Jesus anyone can be reconciled to God, which means eternal life with Him, free from suffering.
Andrew is spot on here. Christ is king, but if we don't behave like him, we do not belong to him.
If you don’t repent and believe in His son Jesus Christ you don’t belong to Him.*
@@KnightFel and.....faith without works is dead. Go read your bible sir.
@@newplayer5433 Okay....? And? Everyone agrees with that. Context though. Faith plus adding works isn't what saves you. You're ultimately relying on your behavior and actions, like those in Matthew 7. You never once mention faith or repentance, just works. So, yeah, you preach heresy.
CHRIST is KING!
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Believe in Him and you will be saved. Not by works. Not by 'making Him Lord'. Those 'Lord, Lord' sayers (Matt 7:21) went on to boast about their mighty WORKS. We're saved by believing in the finished work of Christ. Judas was a disciple, a follower of Christ. But he did not believe (John 6:64). Works reap rewards, not salvation.
Romans 2:5-11
We are judged by deeds.
While all local pastors and priests in my province of Nova Scotia had me convinced since they locked the churches in 2020 that Going to church wasn't essential....
Orthodox Jew Ben Shapiro was the one that convinced me in the need to GO TO CHURCH.
God saw the good works of Cornelius and that his heart was pure, and proceeded to move to save him. So God sent Peter to his house to receive the message of salvation of Jesus Christ, because that's the only mechanism of salvation. If (for argument's sake) Ben does indeed perform good works that God is pleased with, then God will want Ben saved, meaning Ben must hear and receive and confess Christ as his Lord and Savoir, because that's the only mechanism of salvation.
We are saved by grace through faith. "Not by works, lest any man should boast."
James 2: 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
The word is close to you, it is even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Jesus is Lord, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:8-9).
@@danjohnson8556genuine faith produces good works
@@danjohnson8556 Protestants often answer that apparent disparity between Paul and James’ justifications by pointing out that James is saying we are justified in the eyes of man due to our works done in faith, as evident by him saying he will show them his faith by his works. What is annoying in these conversations however is when Papists never answer what Paul means in Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:10-14, Philippians 3:4-9, and Roman’s 3-4, but most especially Roman’s 3:28.
I have not heard one single argument from Rome that adequately explains the view of salvation set forth by Paul in each of these verses, especially considering that Pope Clement the first in his only surviving letter analyzes Romans and says “Similarly, we also, who by His will have been called in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, or our own wisdom or understanding or godliness, nor by such deeds as we have done in holiness of heart, but by that faith through which Almighty God has justified all men since the beginning of time. Glory be to Him, forever and ever, Amen.”
Its truly freeing to be saved by Christ alone without my own efforts and if Christ should plan to use me as a meager tool of some work or another (Deo Volente, I pray he does) I rejoice that my hands might contribute to the furthering of his kingdom apart from my own salvation. God Bless
@@danjohnson8556 Works is evidence of salvation, not a means of receiving it.
I agree with Andrew. One is not saved by having the correct doctrine, but by loving others as Jesus taught. “Love one another as I have loved you. By this shall men know that you are my disciples.”
You need the correct doctrine of the gospel. You are saved by repenting and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. You’ve never loved anyone the way Christ loved you, and that’s the standard by which you will be judged by, perfection, and all will fail that standard. Hence why you need the imputed righteousness of Christ that comes through faith, not any works. Love is a fruit of the spirit - comes after you’re regenerate.
@@KnightFel Faith without works is dead.
You must walk the path of Christ and follow what he taught, not just idle faith.
@@TriarchVisgroup That is a result of salvation, not the cause of it.
You need both. There are scriptures in the bible that tell us we need to be obedient to God for salvation. 1 Peter 3:21-22 - Water baptism saves. A man's deeds and not just faith is what saves him (James 2:24). You must eat Jesus flesh and drink His blood or you have no life in you (John 6:53).

Shut up with that cliche already, it’s getting used by Islamists in this political war at the moment so you’d think you’d have the sense to stop parroting that..
No salvation outside Jesus Christ. We all have lost friends and family and Love(agape love ) is telling them of Christ and him crucified because He is the only way. Love (agape love) doesn't lie and will put the other person before themselves no matter the cost. If you love someone more than self who doesn't know Christ and you don't try to show them the truth that is not agape love or mediocre love that's actually hatred allowing them to perish for the sake of not hurting feelings.
"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
"And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
CHRIST IS KING
Roman Catholic here, and I agree with Andrew 100%. This is a brilliant articulation of something that is very hard to say, and will no doubt be misunderstood by many.
Same here (except for Roman Catholic part; in the process of leaving Protestantism).
You agree 100% that the Corporeal presence of Christ in the Eucharist isn't a big issue?
Christ gave us a Church so we wouldn't drift so far from the Truth as Klavan has, and he doesn't even realize it.
@@jd3jefferson556 I think transubstantiation is a very big deal. I think laundry lists of theological assertions are less so...
@@arthurw8054 well said. Honestly I'm a baby Christian/Catholic here was just Confirmed at the Easter vigil, and it was originally Mother Mary was who brought me to love her Son, and it is the Eucharist that historically has been holding Christianity together while uniting all Christians in all places and times together in the One Body so anytime I hear disrespectful tones towards the Eucharist or Our Lady I too often ignore everything else the person has to say. Fact is Klavan gave a lot of Christian truths there at the end, and I shouldn't have tuned him out as soon as he disrespected Our Lady and the Eucharist.
I hope you don't. He just denied the perpetual virginity of Mary. That's a heresy in Catholicism. Andrew is Anglican, not Catholic.
Thank you Andrew for doing your best at trying to convey the Truth you see in the gospels as you understand them. I have actually come to a very similar understanding to yours. And as a Assemblies of God Mexican Christian in a very confused and crazy world I deeply appreciate your effort in struggling with issues that cannot be oversimplified if you want to be truthful. Voices of reason like yours mean so much to many people. Blessings from Mexico. And yes! Christ is King! Everywhere, through all time into eternity but only He knows the hearth.
Right on Andrew. Totally agree with you on these God issues. You have a great way of delivering it in a clear way.
John 6:28 Then they said to Him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
I think this just might be Klavans magnum opus. I’ve never heard someone speak such truth to power in regards to the message of Christ. What a unique, authentic way to explain salvation & our attitude towards unbelievers.
I think most of what he said was lukewarm garbage.
Actually weather or not Christ is Corporeally present in the Eucharist is actually something that's worth dying over, if He is truly present in the Eucharist, then there is no discussion on what Church is right or wrong anymore.
@@jd3jefferson556 I think there's going to be a lot of people in Heaven who you were sure were going to be somewhere else, & that you might not be one of them. He never denied the eucharist, & it definitely wasn't lukewarm because people who worship the religion & not the creator are losing their minds.
@Mindmartyr Sooo, you have no idea what I think. Anyone could be in Heaven. If God only saved Catholics, that isn't the merciful God I know. However, it sure seems to me as an ex atheist, everything the Catholic Church teaches on faith and morals is correct.
If the Creator who became Flesh is truly Corporeally present in the Most Holy Eucharist then the Eucharist deserves our worship and the Church that gives us Christ in the Flesh deserves our obedience because she is correct in all things she teaches in faith and morals.
The Eucharist in Scripture. Please listen to where the oldest Christian Church is coming from.

Underrated comment 😂
One of the things I admire about you and your faith is that you are an honest follower of Christ. You read his word, you learn, you are ready always to be corrected by the truth of scripture, you recognize the difference between what is necessary to be safe in Christ and those things that deepen our understanding but are not required to be understood for righteousness in Christ. The most important thing you say, and I’ve heard you say it before, is that you trust Him, and this is everything! You trust that he is good, faithful, kinder, wiser, more merciful, and able above all, to bring His children safely home to heaven in His way and His time. Thank you for all you do! I’m running the race with you, dear brother!
John 6:28-29
Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
❤🙏
Mary had other children. Jesus has siblings. That’s what the Bible says. The worship of Mary is not only a grave error but it is a sin.
The Catholics won't be happy about you saying that. However, I definitely agree.
Yeah, it’s kind of funny to watch them dance around that one. Also, after the birth of Christ, there was no reason why Mary would need to retain her virginity since she already served as the pure vessel for Jesus. Not to mention the fact that Joseph and Mary’s marriage would need to be deemed a failure since they didn’t consummate it.
Just one problem: every single person mentioned as a "brother" of Christ has their parents listed and they aren't Mary and Joseph.
No she didn't. The word translated to "brother" (adelphos) doesn't specifically mean a biological sibling. It can be any relative or even a spiritual brother. "Brothers" was also used to describe Abraham and Lot who are uncle and nephew. English just doesn't have a good word to translate to. And Jesus's "brothers" are never said to be Mary's children.
There is also the fact that Jesus tells John to take care of Mary after Jesus's death. If Jesus had siblings, that duty would have fallen to them, not one of the Apostles.
And Catholics don't worship Mary. We literally ask her to pray for us, meaning she isn't the one granting our prayers. She also prays to God.
@@shmeebs387 well here’s a radical idea, you pray to God. You don’t need to go through Mary, the Bible doesn’t tell us to go through Mary.
I know that Catholics need to beatify humans but at the end of the day we are just that, humans, including Mary.
In matinee Jesus answered his followers as follows when they came to him to tell Him that his mother and brothers wanted to see Him, “who is my mother, and who are my brothers, whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother”. Sounds to me like he did have siblings, but I know the indoctrination that the Catholic church has put on you so all I’ll ask you to do is ask God honestly to show you what you need to know. But please don’t pray through Mary, Jesus told His disciples “ … you will no longer ask me anything. Truly I tell you, my Father will will give you w whatever you ask in my name.” The power resides in Jesus own name.
God bless.
Christ is King!
Well one thing Christ was pretty crystal clear about was a man should marry a woman, and only a woman.
Love is empty if it doesn’t have Jesus! if you take agape love without HIM you have nothing. Love is the result of being transformed by him.
Repent and be Baptized! That's how you be with Christ forever
Klavan may your dear son repent of his wicked lifestyle.
Christ is King 🤴 ❤️
First things first. Don't teach or suggest to others that you shouldn't want your friends to come to Christ. That should be a no brainer, but I guess it has to be said on this channel.
No man will judge on judgement day but we are to teach people how to be saved.
The problem is that works don’t earn salvation. If we love Ben we must talk to him about Jesus because nobody comes to the father except through him.
Even if Ben is doing good work none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. Saying Christians are being anti-Semitic because we love our Jewish brothers and want them to be saved is offensive.
I truly enjoy this commentary. It takes great faith to trust that Jesus calls everyone... and Christ is the only one to whom is given authority to judge.
I'm born again and my younger two kids are being baptized on Sunday. I love Jesus so so much. Ben should come to Christ and use his talents for the Kingdom. I hope and pray you are reading your Bible brother.
What a wonderful sermon!
Therefore I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you don't believe that I AM, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).
Well put Mr. Klavan. I so needed to be reminded of this today
I think it's important to note that Jesus was a minister of the old covenant, and spent much of his time exposing the fact that we can't do it on our own, and we need a savior. The cross inaugurated the new covenant, and changed everything. Jesus then personally appointed a man named Paul to reveal his work to the world, that being salvation by grace through faith alone, and that we are placed "in Christ", and clothed in his righteousness. That's the "gospel", the genuinely good news.
Christ wants us to be like him because we love him
Apparently Jesus doesn’t want us believing in Him if it means we will endure personal hardships because of it…
Even though he said if anyone comes to him and who doesn't hate their family and their own life, they cannot be His disciple, and said to count the cost of following Him (Luke 14:25-33)
Also from Matthew 10:34-36 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household."
Oh wait, Klavan doesn't think anyone needs to actually know Jesus to be IN Jesus... but Jesus says: "They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”" (John 8:19)
And says: "Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”" (John 6:48-47, but the whole passage is worth a read.)
And John 1 says: "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."
If someone knows and serves the Father, they recognize the Son; the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God wants all men everywhere to repent and trust in His son Jesus Christ - and afterwards to be zealous for good works and strive for holiness and righteousness to the glory of God, to be the salt of the earth and light of the world, to not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
A necessary message for me. Thanks.
CHRIST is KING!
Love God wants love do we all. 😢 Jesus hear my cries. I’m seeking guidance through fasting, prayer. As a single mother I feel so alone. God I know my faith in you will get me through my hardships I’ve been facing with my sons as a single mother. Both of my sons are special needs and require much from me. Lord I’m trusting your plan but as I struggle to pay bills every month and as I struggle to buy groceries I ask that you give me strength to hold my head up because I’m ashamed. Get me through this Lord Jesus. ❤️
Dear lady, never be ashamed!! You are a child of the Most High God, the Elohim/ Yahweh Father God, Yeshua Jesus Son, and Ruach Holy Spirit. You are a child of God and an inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven. Rest in God's hands. Do you go to church? I would hope the leadership would find a way to help you. Food banks are wonderful. When you reach out you meet others in your situation and you never can tell where your journey will take you. Be strong and of a good courage! I know that talk can be cheap, but l've been there!
Thank you for sharing your beliefs and for giving your opinion even though everyone tends to lose it when one does. God bless you Mr. Klavan and may your days be many and blessed.
Just so you know, the context of “Lord, Lord” is of false teachers who claim to be speaking the gospel but aren’t, not believers trying to find eternal life.

Love you, Andrew. You're a good man.
I agree with 90% percent of what is said here.
That said; Jesus Christ is “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords”!
Peterson and Shapiro will not be saved unless they repent and believe in Jesus.
I agree with you on Ben; he is a good man and fighting the good fight; no doubt he will discover Jesus at the time appointed by God
It's Ben's role to humble himself to accept Jesus as his King and Savior. Ben already knows the truth and yet he rejects it. What else is God to do? What did Jesus tell the Jews who rejected him? We should love and pray for Ben but ultimately it is his choice.

Thank you Lord for sending Jesus to pay for our sins
Here you go:
I agree with you on that Christ, and God the Father, are the ONLY judges, or God alone will judge us. Also that Agape Love is very much important.
Yet of all things, through works, or then our deeds, we cannot be saved, but by believing in Christ Jesus alone!
Therefore I beg you to read these verses again, as I do see you have knowledge of Scripture but require to sometimes be reminded:
Math 10:32-33
John 3:3 ; John 3:16 ; John 3:36 ; John 10:9 & John14:6
Acts 4:11-12 ; Acts 10:43 ; Acts 13:38-39
1 Tim 2:5
Rom 3:22 , 6:23 & Rom 10:9
1 John 5: 10-12 & 1 John 5:20
1 Cor 8:6
Eph 2:8-9
Then, please I beg you, if you do love Ben, do not withhold from him the only true command Jesus asked of all of us, to make dissipels of all men??? For Ben truly will not inherit the Kingdom of God, if not through Jesus Christ our Lord!!!
Wow what a great response to your comments about Ben and JP. Good job Drew! You explained your comments perfectly and it makes sense! God bless you!
How can you talk about salvation without mentioning sin at all?
Good works can’t undo past sin’s. Only Jesus blood on the cross can save us.
It’s not about doing good things and being used by God. God uses plenty of evil people in the Bible. We have to give our lives 100% to following Jesus. What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul.
Ignorance, insecurity, & blind counter-factual faith. That's what the gods have always fed on.
Such a disingenuous argument. No one faulted Andrew for loving Ben. They faulted him for denying the exclusivity of Christ as a conduit to salvation. Contrary to all scripture. He’s pulled a fast one in here. By making it about love when it was always about truth. Andrew has no concern about truth. If he did, he would not think that people who deny the kingship of Christ are saved. Either that, or he doesn’t believe it, and therefore is not a Christian.
Mr. Klavan, I have always respected you and looked up to you, but you made it clear that you are a CINO (Christian In Name Only). This video seems to be a feeble attempt at justifying that, rather than a heartfelt repentance. God is your judge, not I, but you just lost a subscriber who has subscribed to you since your first video. I'm sure you don't care, but I am mot going to listen to the opinions of one who puts the world ahead of God.
I'd like to hear more about Andrew's Anglicanism.
This is beautiful and something I needed to
I agree many people in heaven probably never knew Jesus' name when they lived, but I'd be worried for people who have heard the gospel and reject it. A person who trusts his own righteousness instead of the mercy of God is in grave danger.
Thanks so much for making this video, Andrew! Really appreciated this! I really love hearing you share your faith x prayers for all you guys x ✝️🙏🏼💜
You rock! Keep pissing people off and speaking the truth. Keep talking about your faith here. It’s great!
This is one of the best CZcams videos. I’ve watched in a good while. Thank you for edifying my life Andrew Klavan
The Angel, Gabriel, when proclaiming the message to Mother Mary, reverenced her as "full of Grace". Would be strange for an Angel - who, being a spirit, and in the presence of God, is full of Grace - would reverence Mary as also being full of Grace, if she wasn't, in fact, full of Grace.
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Thank you for your comments Saint Andrew Klavan
Amen Klavan 😅😊
I could never do enough to earn or justify my salvation, but I want to serve the Lord, and I always feel like im not doing enough to serve Him. How do I serve Him more or better? As a stay at home mom all I do is raise my kids, keep our home, and talk about God in commemt sections. Does anyone know how to serve God as a stay at home parent? God is our heavenly Father, so how do we make him proud?
Andrew, you are a blessing.
Amen brother!
Thank You
This is exactly how I see it. I completely agree with Andrew. At heart I am Anglican just like C.S. Lewis and Andrew Klavan. I do not concern myself with things above my pay grade. God is God and will do what He chooses. I must focus on my own behavior and heart. I must strive to be holy like Christ. That is hard enough. I don't have a vote on who is or isn't saved.
Good on you for clarifying Mr. Klavan.
... Just remember that it is Jesus Himself, Who does the transforming, because as you said, it 'ultimately isn't about what any human-human does. :)
He didn't clarify, he gave wimpy excuses and contradictory statements.
Are you familiar with CrossPolitc? :) @@_shadownotes_
What did Jesus say about the Jews that rejected Him?
Luke 18:9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:
10“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
I would suggest the book "The Gospel According to Rome" by James G. McCarthy.
Great sermon! God's anointing is on you.
I thought Christian’s believed that if you don’t believe in Jesus then you’re going to hell. Doesn’t what you’re saying contradict that?
Great stuff! Thank you, Andrew Klavan! Greetings from Romania!
I didn't realize that Catholicism believed that Mary remained a virgin. How is the verse in the Gospel about Jesus' brothers waiting for Him co-exist with that belief? Are they of the belief that they were also virgin birth or that they weren't born to Mary?
Could have been either sons of Joseph from the previous marriage or sons of Mary's sister. Adelphoi can mean either literal brothers and sisters or figurative brothers and sisters. In addition when Jesus is on the cross in Matthew 27:56: “Among them [at the cross] were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.” so qt least James and Joseph despite being called adelphos of Jesus were Jesus's cousins.
The word for brother can also be translated as cousins apparently.
According to Catholics she was a temple virgin which means her presumed perpetual virginity is not that wild a claim.
It’s also not a later claim as it’s found within the church fathers and even Calvin and Luther at the point of the reformation believed in the perpetual virginity. It’s far from a fringe gnostic belief
The perpetual virginity of Mary is nothing more than doctrine born from tradition, and has no relevance or connection to anything in scripture. That's essentially all the Marian dogmas.
@@michaelhart1072the perpetual virginity is a denial of the gospel. Christ had to be born just like men are born, not beamed out where Mary remains intact. Christ is 100% man and 100% God. The perpetual virginity dogma is an accretion over centuries that is not biblical. It is inspired but gnostic writings. Read the Protoevangelium of James.
The Bible often refers to people as brothers who aren't actual siblings. Like Abraham and Lot are called brothers even though they are uncle and nephew. Sometimes it is a general term for relatives or a spiritual brother. This is because there isn't always a good English word to represent the original word in translation.
According to Jesus, Himself, the means to salvation is the rebirth / regeneration. Everything else is secondary. Yes, once one is reborn, one must continuously repent (turn from sin) and strive to follow Jesus, but not as a means of salvation, but as a means of closer fellowship and growth. Salvation is completely God's work. We acknowledge our need for the gift, accept it, and believe Him.
What you said was right on!!! I took it just how you meant it!!!!!!
As a Christian I agree with the original video, in it's whole context! What you said, I was hoping to hear from more followers of Jesus.
Thank you for your work and clarification. I believe you have a similar philosophy to C.S. Lewis in this matter. In my study of Scripture, I have come to a different conclusion, though you have made me ponder with your interpretation of the passage in Matthew 7. Thank you, again!
Beautifully said Klavan with an “a”
Money, apparently.
That's it, to love unconditionally, overlooking the barriers of man.
I’m sorry you stand with those who reject God’s purpose for your people Andrew. A rejection of the Jews as a covenant people must surely cause you to turn away from what is essentially evil, replacement or supercessionist theology.
