1
some of these ideas are really beautiful, you know, like from a moral standpoint, like the things that Jesus asked you to do,
2
being selfless, being service oriented, you know, caring about the poor and the needy, not just being about the,
3
your own accumulation of your possessions, recognizing the emptiness in the accumulation of possessions.
4
Like these are beautiful ideas that I subscribe to today.
5
So I think that, I think part of my interest is this, like, I want to, I want to
6
I want to rescue Jesus from the hands of the people are using him for evil.
7
Yeah, because they're pretty out of line.
8
I mean, Jesus says this, doesn't he?
9
You know, there'll be people who come to me saying, Lord, Lord, and I'll say, depart from me, I never knew you.
10
And there is an idea that the path is narrow, and it does just seem at times flatly contradictory,
11
the attitudes that people have.
12
and yet i don't know if it's like a biblical literacy thing
13
or or what but when you see like prosperity preachers for example flying around in private jets
14
and things and you think i just i don't know how you can read the gospels
15
and not have this yeah just jump off the page at
16
you have you seen the clip of donald trump asked what his favorite bible verse is i think this is
17
i'd rather not get into this it's sort of very personal and they're like really anything jump bad?
18
She's like, no, I think it's, I think it's too personal.
19
And they say, are you more of a Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy?
20
And he goes, I would say probably equal.
21
Yeah.
22
And by the way, I think by the next time he's asked, you know, what your favorite Bible verse is, he's like, oh, it's, you know, second Corinthians one.
23
Right.
24
Right.
25
Yeah.
26
Well, this is the interesting thing about that.
27
Uh, I, I, cause I, I want to give like,
28
Like, first of all, there are many Christians who are just like buying this idea that like he's actually a Christian, that Trump's actually a Christian, right?
29
That is happening.
30
But I will give, there's a lot of Christians, I'll give them credit.
31
They don't for a second.
32
They don't for a second buy that he's a Christian.
33
They know that he's using the Christians for his ends.
34
but and i know i know many people like this
35
but they believe that the things
36
that he you know he's a crude tool yes to basically accomplish things
37
that are more consistent with the christian worldview yes and
38
so it's a little more nuanced and so i understand
39
that that's what they think but but then i'm like yeah
40
but okay let's talk about let's talk about the things that
41
that platform wants to establish that are still very inconsistent with the things, the bulk of the things that Jesus talked about.
42
Then one wonders how much that is Christian nationalism as a whole, how much of it is really Christian outside of just being nominally Christian in the way that Trump might be nominally Christian.
43
I mean, the one thing that gives me pause for thought is like when he was nearly assassinated,
44
he did sort of quite convincingly portray a feeling of spiritual awakening after that.
45
I mean, he put it in quite uncomfortable terms about like, well, if you look at that, if you look at how close it was, I saw the graphic of how it went just past my head.
46
If you look at that and you're an atheist, you got to start rethinking it.
47
And there is this forgetting of Corey Comporatore, who's the firefighter that the bullet eventually went into and killed.
48
But I did think if you were nearly assassinated, especially if you've already got this sort of egomania around you, President of the United States type thing,
49
to have your head turned at the right moment and avoid assassination,
50
I do wonder if maybe that did make him at the very least seriously consider the possibility of divine watch.
51
But I don't know even then although i want to grant him
52
that that possible space for spiritual growth i don't know if
53
that develops into like you know it's easier for a rich man to yeah yeah all of
54
that kind of stuff but and
55
so yeah it's like a it's a crude a crude tool is as you put it
56
and if you just look at the way
57
that i one does wonder i always thought of doing like
58
skits where you sort of put jesus in the modern day
59
and see how he would actually react like the sort of
60
this strange juxtaposition of the Christian attitude you're supposed to have and what Jesus was actually all about.
61
Because some of his teachings I do think are difficult and maybe inapplicable.
62
I had this idea of him walking through central London or something and somebody comes up to him and says, sorry, have you got any change?
63
And the disciples would go, sorry, mate, we haven't got any change.
64
And he goes, brethren, when one is in need, if you do this to the least of these, you do it to me.
65
So it's like, Matthew, grab the person.
66
anyway as i was saying and then another person comes up have you got any change mate
67
and they're like oh we just go and he's like because one person is in need?
68
Because you've helped one?
69
Does that lessen the need to help another?
70
No, no. Peter, grab your tunic.
71
We're going to give it to him.
72
And then people just keep sort of coming up.
73
And at the end, someone comes up.
74
You got any change?
75
And Jesus is like, sorry, mate, I haven't got any change.
76
Because I do wonder how directly applicable some of these teachings are to the modern world.
77
And so it's kind of easy to say, you know, Christian nationalism isn't Christian.
78
Jesus would never abide by Trump.
79
But it's difficult to imagine what Jesus would say about the presidency of a transcontinental republic in general anyway.
80
I always find it very difficult to make those kinds of claims.
81
Well, and I think that's one of the reasons that I think this is back to the idea of like, why is it so fascinating?
82
Because when you start, when you really appreciate the context for what this person was operating in,
83
You know, and you think about that for every scripture, the idea that like, oh, this makes so much more sense,
84
not as some prophecy for current times,
85
but for, it was a rhetorical exercise for what they were dealing with.
86
And it's just, it's, to me, it becomes, the Bible actually becomes more meaningful in one sense.
87
Maybe not in like a ultimate, ultimate meaning way, but in a,
88
the way that we actually find and build meaning as humans based on how we interact with our circumstances and our, how our values interact with our circumstances.
89
Like that's what these biblical writers were doing all along.
90
And suddenly it just, it kind of comes alive to me.
91
Like I always, I always thought, I don't understand these biblical scholars who aren't Christians.
92
Like it was fascinating.
93
Like you study this for a living and you don't believe it, But now I get it.
94
Yeah.
95
I get it.
96
You know, not only because it was so personal to me and foundational to who I am, but because it really is this story of the human struggle to figure out what the hell is going on.
97
Yeah.
98
Context is always key with any kind of art and in a way the gospels can be considered like a, they're not art per se, but the sort of artistic elements,
99
the beauty, the truth, the poetry, the, the meaning that jumps out.
100
A lot of that has got to do with contextualizing.
101
a piece of art like
102
so much of it is right has has got to do with
103
that um that's something i clocked
104
when i you know you know the book ways of seeing by john berger
105
or is it burger i don't know i haven't read it
106
but he um he's got this tv show as well
107
that he did
108
and um one of the things he does is he shows this picture he says just look at this picture
109
and you know see what you think about it
110
and then turn the page and you turn over the page
111
and it's the same picture
112
but it's got a caption now it says this is the
113
last painting van goff made before he killed himself it's like how has
114
that changed the way that you interact with this painting
115
and some people want to say it kind of shouldn't know the art should stand for itself
116
but it clearly does context plays a massive massive part and
117
when you consider the first century jewish context in
118
which jesus is is working so many of his claims are transformed
119
and this is something christians always want to do
120
when it comes to things like uh his claims to divinity
121
and stuff it's like no you have to understand to a
122
jew at the time this would have been a really significant thing right say.
123
Claiming to be the Lord of the Sabbath would have been huge.
124
Invoking the I am statement would have been absolutely massive.
125
But I think we do need to do that writ large.
126
And maybe some of the good stuff needs to be contextualized as well as the bad stuff.
127
Yeah.
128
Because they're willing to jump on it.
129
If you say, what about what the Bible said?
130
What about when Paul's talking about women or slavery in the Old Testament?
131
It's like, oh, it's context, context, context.
132
That doesn't apply today.
133
It's totally different.
134
You've got to understand there's the cult of artemis
135
and women were getting power that they shouldn't have
136
and they were bond servants okay
137
but with a lot of the rest of the stuff it's
138
just quite flatly like yeah the bible gives us a guide
139
as how to live today it's eternal truth like what do
140
you mean you need to reinterpret it what are you talking about
141
and i just kind of think we should look for a bit more consistency on
142
that front maybe if you enjoyed

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
