I might get long winded here, pardon. Much wants to come out. I was raised in an Evangelical fundamentalist Christian family. I’m an ex evangelist and have been since I could choose for myself my own spiritual subscriptions. I still deal with very hurtful commentary from family in regards to my personal spiritual experience. Anything they say to me even if it’s cruel is justified. Anything I say in defense of myself is “demonic”. I am the only family member that’s been to war. I spent 3 years as a young adult in Iraq during the worst of it. That reality upheaval made me question everything. From religion, to government systems controlling religion, to every single moral lesson I’d been taught. A friend mentioned a book called The Four Agreements. I read it, my life changed. Everything Greg is saying is validation for years of emotional abuse at the hands of a misguided system. Thank you for this. This is a significant gap that needs to be bridged for (arguably) the last few generations.

I grew up with a family member who worked as a prison guard, was a devout Catholic, from Los Angeles. And his idol was Father Greg Boyle. Spoke about him all the time. Went down and met with him numerous times. What a small world to see him here again now. Thank you so much for this Rainn!

I usually think Rainn, that we dont meditate enough about God, we meditate about peace, love, ourselves, forgiveness but how many times do we meditate about God? How is it? its divines cualities, what does he think? about us, about the world, its creation, about our problems? Do we think What God will do in this situation? ♥ I join to the person behind that said God bless you Rainn , and each episode you bring us with love and planification some sweet different guest and that is so much !!!! when I grow up I wanna be like you :)

Book 3 of the bible is the story of Adam and Eve... litterally defining the difference between God's will and human desire. Saying that you believe that our strongest desire is the will of God completely discredits anyone who claims to believe in the bible

I think sadly what Father Greg is saying is just against Catholic doctrine. I have only gone through the first section but I think there is just so much wrong. I think its a beautiful thing to try to see the Bible through the lens of love but he is going against the church when he says that "he believes" there is no Hell. As a church father he represents the church and the understanding I have gained from other Catholic sources, and that adheres to the teaching of the church, is that Hell is a real place AND that it is through OUR free will that we choose to sin, not an act of God that damns us. I think it's a question of accountability and whos action put us in that place. It is also church doctrine to believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I don't think you can make that into a purely symbolic meaning without losing the whole reason of being a Christian, especially taking into account the rest of the new testament with Paul etc...There are objective claims the Church makes and respectfully I don't see how any of it squares with what Father Greg is saying. As Bishop Barron and St. Thomas Aquinas put it, loving someone isn't acceptance of everything they do, it is "willing the good of the other as other".

To be fair to Father Greg, his words "I don't believe it" came after his reflection on how "ill" someone has to be to go to hell. So, he doesn't exactly say he *doesn't believe in hell.* As Catholics, we also don't have to believe in "a place" called hell but rather hell as a state of definitive self-exclusion from God, as the Catechism references.

That's exactly what Christians do. Do you put homosexuals to death? Do you refuse to touch women on their periods because they are unclean? Most Christians ignore a large part of the Old Testament, for convenience. Stop having a relationship with a Bible and start having a relationship with GOD. A human is born with everything they need to commune with God. The Bible is centuries old propaganda.

But every Christian church does pick and choose.... Christians eat pork, wear clothes made of two different fibers woven together, both forbidden in Leviticus. some churches have communion some don't have it at all, some churches have female pastors, all the disciples were men. I remember the day I heard the reading, about Jesus saying "call no man father." And asking the priest about it after. He had no good explanation why we call priest father, if Jesus told us not to. Christians also divorce which Jesus said was allowed in Mosaic law because we are cruel. The Bible must be read with knowledge of the historical context of each book or it cannot literally be understood. The older books were translated from Hebrew to Latin or Greek then to English. Things could get lost in translation. Many of the stories were allegories to explain God in the context of the world they were living in. You tell me the Christian church that you think follows every single part of the Bible. And I bet a ten minute Google search will show us the part they omit or interpret they way they want to.

@@EricSartori Depends on what religion you are. And the definition Blasphemy has different definitions. 1 The act of insulting, showing contempt or irreverence for God. 2 The act of claiming attributes of God yourself, 3 irreverence for something considered sacred. 4 profane talk. 5 or going against a religions doctrine. I didn't argue against the guy's opinion of blasphemy because in his religion it could be. I just was pointing out the hypocrisy of Christianity sometimes. Like seriously, no Christian should be eating pork. How do we justify that if we say that we follow every single thing in the bible? Scripture says Jesus said no divorce. It's 60% of all marriages in the United States end in divorce. Are those good Christian people? Sure they could be. But they live in an imperfect world. I don't know if I'm smart enough to know what blasphemy is on my own. I definitely need the Holy Spirit to help me with that.Ibwould start by looking for the fruits of the Holy Spirit as taught to me by my Catholic faith( not necessarily in the Bible): love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. If these qualities are there God is there, because all good things come from God. Whatever this man is saying that I might not quite understand. I see the fruits of the Holy spirit in him and I know that he is making the world a better place.
