The “Teacher” vs. Jesus • Wisdom Ep. 4
Hanging out with Ecclesiastes isn’t fun. The book goes on about the endless march of time that results in death for everyone. Everything dies––humans and animals. We can see that all living creatures go to the dirt, and we don’t have any concrete proof of what happens after that. Depressing, right? Yes––it can be. The teacher is trying to shake things up and dismantle the illusions of the reader, but it can be rough to read. The guys will talk about the context of Ecclesiastes, and why we as Jesus followers can see things differently.

I do not like the recurrent interruptions with music. Shorten these. I do not like that you tubers are not cognizant of listeners time. I do not need YOU to waste my time I have problems doing this myself. I have cancelled many YouTubers who do this repeatedly…save music till end for contemplation. I do not mindlessly gabby that other YouTubers do. Your discussions are good just remember that I have limited vapors too.
Nicely Done!!👌🏽👍🏾👍🏾
My 27 year old husband just killed himself 8 months ago and I struggle not to let it overtake me. This video has given me momentary peace. I send these videos to people as well. Absolutely lightening to one's soul. I hope to become one with God.
36:12 Touch on Agnostics. We need to be reminded the bible is an Eastern Mindset.This Reminded me of someone who i watched in an interview, who worked for google and the invention of A.I. He quit when he realized they had gone too far. He is a budist and came bsck to his spiritual idea.
His response to where we are now. ( the perfect storm) was "go and kiss your kids"
. Should not our urgency be to Share Who Jesus when He presents opportunities? Thats such an area of frustration with myself.
To be honest i have received freely so why am i not freely giving? ZEN VS TRUTH
My own convictions and i wonder how many other share that? Am i alone in this? Does anyone else feel that?
Forgive the mess please. I can barely read my writings. Too small
❤ 34:18 Jessica's heart for the homless. Emotional response and desire to help.
Helpful 😊
I have a hard time focusing with the one guy constantly interrupting the other.
I don’t think he finished one sentence without the other guy saying or gesturing something during his speaking.
Something to think about
help us Lord to do your will but not be overly righteous!
You guys have no idea talking about stars forming and stuff like that .. all the stars have been created at the beginning and not one star has been proven to form from gases and matter in space ? As bible believing Christian’s you both lack understand of the creation . Everything has be created and there has been no observation of a planet forming or starts forming
In the New Heaven and the New Earth there is no need for the sun as stated in the Book of Revelation:
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.
Rev. 21:22-26 ESV
And there is no sea anymore:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Rev. 21:1 ESV
I like study.. I think if I can exist today maybe I may exist tomorrow.. perhaps if I'm good today it will prepare me to be of good tomorrow.. death maybe but I exist today.. maybe tomorrow I may be.
What is background music's makes Brain feel better.. I sometimes feel sick music helps..
Billions of years before Adam means death and suffering before "The Fall." This isn't compatible with the message of the Bible of a loving God.
This is exactly what I needed. It helps me so much to understand exactly what I'm feeling and takes a huge burden off my chest. Prayer wasn't doing it alone but I guess the Lord guided me to this. Thanks for doing his work
Great video but a deceiving title…
Pardon my French but cock blockers are an abomination. So stop it those who STILLdo this !
I’m with Jessica. Driving around southeast Portland by riverside I saw lots of young people on drugs and messed up like they had no caring parents. I don’t know what to do. Then I realized only the rich can make a big difference and that whole thing about the wealthy. Jesus was saying the poor will always be with you. Might mean something else.
what's the name of the song playing in the beginning?
This is so so so good
Solomon was being guided by the wisdom given to him. In the New Testament it is revealed that Jesus is the knowledge of God that was presented to the people of that time, and in today to us of different races who fear the Lord (Father) as written in the Bible. Ecclesiastes, he was saying that there was no one who contributed to the wisdom in Israel before his time. The same can be said with John the Baptist. The difference is as a king and as a priest Jesus reigns forever, even to this day.
Strangely enoughbi had more laffs listening to you both conversing over this book than any of the more serious book talks 😃🐥
Love the messages 💕. The words of the music playing in the background is difficult to listen over. Love all the rest.
I love you guys. And I love the passion you have for this project. This is really a blessing for me because I do have a desire to learn but because of my dyslexia and other things I’m just not good at learning through reading even though I try. But with this podcast. I feel I can understand and learn like I’ve wanted to. But if you may allow me, to critique your critique of the critic 😅. Around 44:08 you think he’s saying that, ‘somehow I can see my life as a gift from God’ It seems to me you could be sugar coating the critic a bit, I don’t think he ever comes right out and says, ‘ my life is a gift from God’ rather he does often say this, this, that, food, drinks, happiness, etc, these are gifts from God. 😊 I wish I was able to learn from you guys in person or something. Have a blessed day
41:53 is basically trick yourself into pretending that bad things are good. I like it but it works for me to get through my life pretending. But I shouldn’t have a child and make them suffer and force them to have to pretend life is good when it’s bad too.
I so enjoyed this conversation. It is illuminating to me, 68 years old man, and brings great perspective. Thanks again for doing this!
In the beginning was the Light the Light has always existed the Light will always exist because the Light can never die
Why do you guys have SOOO MANY commercials? 😫
Amen
Bible Project is the bomb! May not be near great breweries.. ok… I stopped enjoying Guinness a couple years ago? but okay! Maybe, just maybe i'll have another one before I transition outta here 😊 but if not that's ok too! My prayer is to continue growing and be thankful for the precious life given to me and that there is a great plan and purpose for my life (w/o) murmuring or complaining 😌🙌🏽🙏🏽
It’s too bad the narrators of theBibleProject have been deceived by the LGBTQ+ community.
Monday always comes😂. Oh my chest!
This is really great. Happy Easter, Brothers. Glory to King Jesus
