00:00 Introduction
01:24 The psychology of the Saviour
05:48 Ernest Renan
13:42 The Kingdom of God is within you
Despite Nietzsche's final work of philosophy carrying the title of 'Antichrist', this work is remarkably positive about Christianity's central figure: Jesus Christ. Reading the book, it quickly becomes clear that the title refers to being anti-Christian rather than being anti-Jesus, because Nietzsche speaks in terms of admiration for Jesus.
He blames the early Christians (the Apostles, and Paul specifically) of distorting Christ's message for their own political and social gain, introducing elements of ressentiment and will to power that were simply absent from Jesus's life and teachings.
This video looks at a passage in the Antichrist in which Nietzsche claims that Jesus was not a hero nor a genius. It's a reaction to Ernest Renan, a historian of religion who played a central role in what theologians now call the "quest for the historical Jesus." A period in history during which scholars looked at the Gospels through the historical, not the theological, lens. It was a movement that sought to demystify the Gospels and separate fact from legend. Studying the Gospels as you would any other historical text, by critically examining its sources and internal contradictions.
Renan, in his best-selling and hugely influential biography of Jesus, ascribed heroic qualities to Jesus (while also denying his divinity and ability to perform miracles.)
Nietzsche accuses Renan of being a lackluster psychologist and furthermore that to call Jesus a hero is simply a mistake.
He then proceeds to give his own account of Jesus's psychological profile: claiming that the undistorted message of Jesus is one of asceticism, a new mode of being, free from resentment, a superabundance of love -- quite the opposite of what later Christians would make of his life when they sought to claim some sort of victory over their Roman oppressors and introduced ideas like Heaven or the claim that the Kingdom of God is some sort of other world which will come to pass in a future time in a spiritual place.

You know that everything you've pretended to be up until this point is just a mask, and that who you truly are is love, has always been loved, and will always be love. There is no need to desire and crave and grasp and all these things outside of ourselves. We have all we need within us! "The kingdom of God is within you".

    Christ is a powerful meme, people will know of Christ, and see the men in their daily lives who they so greatly respect for their charisma, love and virtues. I only know one good man in my life, he raised 20+ kids to adulthood among his own kids. He was a man capable of loving someone else's kids like they where his own. But what was most impressive about him, was that he was a teacher, and a very good one at that. For during his lessons, he tamed the entire school, even the worst of the problem children would listen to his lessons. How is that? Well, respect. Kids would listen to him, because to not do so would be a very "uncool" thing to do, as he was so beloved by everyone, not listening would get you branded a heretic. Social pressure is hell a scary....

    @@whosrichpurnell3328 narrative is how we configure reality in our minds top to bottom to make sense of things and react accordingly, aka survival. Survival requires narrative. narrative requires perspective. Perspective requires separation so you can distinguish you from the object of your attention because objections of attention try to kill you so you must focus. Separation inherently causes sin because your perspective neglects the totality of fact. The only person who doesn’t do that if you ask Christians is Jesus which means from birth he always knew the totality of gods heart because perfect men must have gods heart, which is a circumvention of the requirement of knowing the the totality of the facts. He never sinned, and sacrificed himself for every sinners sake. Those two things prove his divinity and godliness. The miracles were extra proof to the Christians but really those two points are the reason why, instead of the symptoms like the ability to do miracles. Everyone except God being a sinner is true because no mortal man is perfect, so only the perfect person sent from god, who must be a part of god but not the totality, who if you ask Christians is Jesus, and can respect the totality because he is part of god. He has the totality of the perspective so he surrenders knowing he can sacrifice himself for sinners, because if he didn’t sacrifice himself the only fruit of that labor is sinners waging war against sinners for sinning when both sides have sinned. He can turn the other cheek as an homage to god and let Christians, the sinners, defend themselves because self defense is a sinner activity because it’s sinners killing sinners for sinning when they both justified the force leveraged against them. The most moral sinners only sin would be defense of his family against immoral attack because of defending the elderly, women, children or suicide martyrdom in the name of awareness in the defense of others if I’m correct.

    Its ironic because in Nietzsche's perspectives he gained power by conquering and overcoming this, living a life so pious and disciplined and chosing to die over compromising any of his own ideals, he was a sort of higher man, despite being kinda lowborn and his ideals beign slave, the way that he he did things shows the courage and beavery of the aristocrats of the past, and that's why he has so much significance to history, a great leader that aspired many people into his own beliefs looking down on the common romans and jews alike

    Perhaps it is the polemical nature of people or of Nietzsche himself but after reading him it baffles me that his ideas are not let to stand alone but instead must be considered as antithetical to Christianity. A mature Christian would not deny his analysis of “the kingdom of God is within you” but simply go a step further and declare that the kingdom of heaven is both within you on earth and in heaven. The hinterwelt philosophy may be a ditch that many Christians fall into, but Nietzsche correctly asserts that it isn’t what Jesus whether man or divine lived. I have found his explorations of human nature to be undeniably revealing and the sincerity of conviction which he displays inspiring. This is not an insufferable “middle ground” remark in which I make any compromise as a Christian, but praise for the ideas of a man who couldn’t believe in universal truths yet spent his life searching for them. Truths cannot be mutually exclusive and while I know that there was not room for God in his philosophy, there is not only room for but consensus with much of his philosophy in Christianity. I enjoy your channel because you present ideas with good will and a desire for truth.

He correctly identified the effect of abandoning God (Nihilism) but he had no adequate solution to the problem. We simply cannot make up our own values. I followed Nietzsche’s philosophy for about ten years until it showed me the absolute necessity for a transcendent source of values. From there it was a short step into Christ’s arms.

    In my opinion, that’s the whole point of Nietzsche’s philosophy. He wasn’t attempting to define a single, rigid replacement for the morality of Christianity, rather he highlighted the ways in which Christianity limited human potential in the modern era. The whole point is to take that realization and encourage new ways of conquering life. The true Nietzschean is not concerned with whether or not he is right, but whether or not he opens doors for “free spirits” so that humanity can continue developing.

    Nietzche says not to trust the gospel then quotes a line from the gospel to state Jesus is a man in psychology form 🥴 And the story of napoleon, where the heroism of the character remains known but the stories differ. If you look at Jesus's stories, they are no different. Every religion or story of Jesus refers to Him as God, Prophet, or some supernatural being. Implying high high importance. Kinda like napoleon being regarded as a superior man in essence. We talk about the characters of heroism and that you have to fight and conquor and do all these things, many of which are terrible calamities, to be considered a hero. Yet Nietzche uses the line that the devil is the prince of this world, who controls it. So heroism in essence is in the devils control/discrepancy. Heroism is not as great as one claims, atleast, in the way we coined the term heroism. Hence why Jesus didn't act out to be the hero in the human eyes.. That is because he had something greater. What a real hero is. If you look at Jesus Psychologically. His actions speak volume, because he in his Intellect sees his actions as being greater than the one which we consider heroism. Because in his actions, if everyone followed suit. We would not be dealing with all these calamities and man made problems/errors and inner hatred towards others. Lastly, if Jesus was this teacher who spoke of love and dignity and turn the cheek. There ain't no way in hell he ends up on the cross 😂 Nietzche nice try my boy

    Christian hypocrites? Unchristlike Christians? Thats literally the whole point of Christianity. We are incapable no matter how much we try of being perfect like the perfect man, Jesus. hence the need for a savior, mercy from God. This mercy, this saving gift is not earned but is given as a gift from God to those who are undeserving of the gift.

    Unlike what he thought, I don’t think the man the myths of Jesus were ever about or even the fictional character made in the Bible, it never seemed to be on his mind to be anyone’s hero. The guy clearly told everyone he was a path, a door, a gate, not a source; not a hero. He never claimed to be great, he was in fact a rebel no matter how you want to see it, rebellion is a huge part of his story for good reason, because he was rebellious. Jesus used rebellion as a point of exposing truth, Jesus obsessed about truth and being in a constant state of it. None of this indicates a hero. He never saved someone from peril; tho he did help many. The most heroic thing I can recall Jesus doing was the recuse on the Sea of Galilee. However this is also all allegorical and symbolic. So it’s not literal and it’s a way of talking about life; rocky waters; and learning how to navigate them instead of bobbing on the up and down waves; you simply walk over them. The man was not a hero, he was not a savior; he was a wise man with tools he wanted to share with people that have a obsession with believing their own stories to a point t they will kill their own children and sacrifice people looking out for them. Nothing has changed. Meaning his work as a hero would have been in vane.

He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” - C.S. Lewis

    Matthew 22:29 "“You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God." Nietzsche was a prisoner of this world. He thought heroism was to conquer the other, as Napoleon did, not conquer oneself, as Jesus did. In fact Jesus is the ultimate hero, the God who sheds His own divinity, taking the appearance of a suffering servant and in this act of serving all, becomes exalted above all. Jesus never gave up on His expectations to be worshipped, He just gave us a very, very good reason to do so in love.

    "The tragic hero assures himself that the ethical obligation is totally present in him by transforming it into a wish. Agamemnon, for example, can say: To me the proof that I am not violating my fatherly duty is that my duty is my one and only wish. Consequently we have wish and duty face to face with each other. Happy is the life in which they coincide, in which my wish is my duty and the reverse, and for most men the task in life is simply to adhere to their duty and to transform it by their enthusiasm into their wish. The tragic hero gives up his wish in order to fulfill his duty. For the knight of faith, wish and duty are also identical, but he is required to give up both. If he wants to relinquish by giving up his wish, he finds no rest, for it is indeed his duty. If he wants to adhere to the duty and to his wish, he does not become the knight of faith, for the absolute duty specifically demanded that he should give it up. The tragic hero found a higher expression of duty but not an absolute duty." Kierkegaard "Fear and trembling"

    Very interesting video. Some counterpoints (whether to the video creator, Nietz, or both): 1) asceticism coupled with an atheistic belief is perhaps the most absurd of all ways to live. Without a goal of transcending this world for something greater (as in- beyond this world), denying oneself the avenues of agency & pleasure of this world, is pointless & self-defeating. Essentially, one is then just dying to this world with nowhere to actually go. One might as well just actually die in that case or just live for today. At least christian/deistic/etc asceticism has the goal of attaining a better existence entirely, as an effect of such denial. 2) the last part of the video sends some sharp, pointed accusations against early Christians [such accusations are probably accurate for LATER Christians]. Yet, there is nothing given to back up these claims of the early Christians flipping the message of Christ for their own selfish gain of some sort. When in fact, evidence, both of secular & religious, shows the early Christians living out (albeit, as best imperfect humans can) & spreading the message of Christ.

    It's quite convenient for Nietzsche to just deny the historicity of the Bible in order to start tearing down Jesus. Whilst I can confidently say that Nietzsche was a man of great intellect far more than me, I wholeheartedly disagree with this watered down version of Jesus who seems to be delusional and in denial of just how wicked man is, when simply whole point of Jesus dying on the cross was a because man is utterly wicked & unable to be fully Holy/Good, we might be mostly good but even in our good deeds we tend to have evil intentions & thus Jesus took upon Himself the sin & judgement that was rightfully ours & we then are credited with a righteousness that was rightfully His. This however is not much of a big deal if we were to reduce Jesus to a mere good leader who said nice things & was wrongfully charged for some crimes, He was God & perfect in all His ways and in no way was He ambushed by willfully gave up His life to suffer at the hands of His own creations, it's really an insult to compare Him with Napoleon or any human for that matter.

    0:51 This specifically Harkins to that idea related to humanity, but also a personal idea that I’ve been endorsing. It’s almost like applying general relatively back to psychological principles related to Nietzsche x Jung, but if I have to be honest, encompasses, a lot of the prolific teachings but I’m realizing this almost after the fact. Kind of directly creating a feeling of synchronicity between the two. But every person has their own individual perception based upon specific assumptions and personal knowledge on the self in my early flawed observations. The apparent Reality in which we find so comfortable, when looked at with enough scrutiny, almost comes out, looking unrecognizable to the world in which we assumed to be truth previously. Sort of like the cycle of the hero, although I’m hesitant to tie it to that yet . It’s almost encouraging on a weird level to understand and pick up where, to me at least, a complete stranger work, their entire life to get to. And only through the power given to us as a society in the last 25 or so years have I been able to make something like this happen due to the mass availability of specific information .

    Nietzsche seems to forget that every claim Jesus made in the gospels was based on cultural knowledge of the time. If he wants to analyze the true psychology of Jesus, he cant remove him from his culture. The claims he made are congruent with the messiah prophezised in the old testament, and which he attributed to himself, so in essence, nietzsche even got the most basic part of his message wrong because he omited the very core of it. Let us not forget the majority if the new testament is written by people who met Jesus. Even one of his brothers is written in there. I never understand this argument that the gospels were written a hundred years after his death because it completely fails to mention the letters of Paul give credence to the gospels as written, and he hot the ok from Peter himself. “Oh but how do you know Peter didnt get the real messege?”. Its all just so lazy seriously. The least bit of preasure breaks this bridge.

    Leonardo da Vinci said " The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions " Plato shared with us wisdom he learnt from Egypt, wisdom that was a death sentence in Greece, Rome ( Christianity ) ..Pythagoras, Socrates and later Hypatia of Alexandria. Plato in his dialogue " The Republic " tells the allegory of " The Cave " Plato starts by telling us of prisoners being held in a sort of underground den, let us examine this den via the geometry of Bernhard Riemann and Felix Klein..Klein bottle..3rd and 4th dimensions. Plato tells us that the prisoners are bound up unable to move their heads, let us examine this bondage via the psychology of Erich Fromm.. socialisation of consciousness.. aware-unaware. Plato tells us that the prisoners mistake shadows for substance, let us examine this mistake via the philosophy of Thales and Kant..synthetic a priori..not thing in itself. Plato tells us that one of the prisoners is released, let us examine this release via the instructions given by T.Lobsang Rampa..stilling the mind and conscious astral travel..leaving the cave/body. Plato tells us that the prisoners will reject this release, let us examine this rejection via the psychological effects of Stockholm syndrome..Plato quotes Homer " Better to be a poor man, and have a poor master, and endure anything, than to think and live after their manner " Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. Mathew 23 13 31.

    How can you leave the body and hope to be closer to God when the Kingdom of God is within you? The opposite idea is what evildoers have people believe so that they may confuse them and have their spirits leave their vessel so that something else may enter in. Spiritual nourishment is all you need and communing with the inner spirit, which the silver cord (i.e. umbilical cord for the spirit) is attached to, like the umbilical cord is the cord to worldly life. Btw other new age groups (not sure if I can mention them without getting this comment removed) teach people that their spirit is tied to an outer spirit like a baby to the placenta. But they have it wrong (on purpose), that outer spirit doesn't exist, it's just the inner spirit being pushed out of the vessel.

    I would argue that Nietzsche is using the term very loosely, given that Psychology had been incredibly recently invented in his age. What he’s interested in is Jesus’ mindset, not history, miraculous powers or ontological relationship with God, which make it a somewhat psychological exploration.

    As a Christian, I reject almost everything Nietzche says about Christianity, but it's interesting that even our greatest opponents have only positive things to say about Christ. Normally I respect Nietzche's thought processes even if his conclusions are a stretch. But on this topic he seems little different from the average Reddit or YT atheist. Everyone always wants to say the Apostles and Church Fathers changed the Bible to suit their desires. But the people saying that are only making the claim to suite their own desire to disparage Christ's legacy without disparaging Him. For this and similar reasons I don't believe in atheists. Everyone believes in God deep down, some just don't like his commandments.

Even if they know a lot about Buddhism, they probably don’t know anything about the man other that he meditated under a tree until he discovered the secrets of the universe. I will criticize Buddha, he was either a liar or a fool. And when I say I don’t believe that the people I’m referring to are atheists, I also don’t believe they’re Christians. It is perfectly consistent to believe in God and still reject Him. John Milton wrote a whole book about it (not strictly Biblically accurate, but close enough for this point).

    One persons will to power, changed by others to fit their own will to power? Isn't that Nietzschian too? Nietzsche can never seem to agree withhimself. He wants ideals and power to be one. Or does he simply care about those who 'create' their own will to power, rather then using others, and their will to fit themselves? That too can be seen as idealistic. Categorize people into weak and strong, and you won't understand what to call the weak when they win. Physical power is not power itself. And we see this play out today when people talk about 'survival of the strongest' rather then the 'fittest'. Reality is diffrent from ideals im afraid.
