Christianity is RETURNING? Tom Holland & Justin Brierley in conversation
Historian Tom Holland, author of 'Dominion', joins Justin Brierley for a public conversation on The Surprising Rebirth Of Belief In God. They discuss Holland's own intellectual and spiritual journey, including an answered prayer to a health crisis.
But is the renewed interest in the value of faith among secular intellectuals evidence of a turning of the tide of faith? Justin Brierley is optimistic, Holland takes a more sanguine view. The event was hosted by LICC's Paul Woolley and Grace Fielding at Westminster Chapel, London with Q&A from a 600-strong audience.

    The churches and communities that thrived within the boundaries of Christianity , have been deliberately deconstructed by professional atheists and academics alike , in order to create a space for themselves within the many sacred buildings and institutions that were created for the propagation of a society based upon long held traditions and customs . Once enticed away from their mother church , new spaces were then created for the now relatively prosperous communities to spend their time , such as retail parks , supermarkets and sports events ( all of which remain open upon the day normally kept aside for worship ) and unfortunately for them now , not knowing the subterfuge that had taken place , they flounder through the mundanity of their vacuous existence whilst the authors of such diatribe as exhibited here , wallow in the stench of their own cultural excrement . However be sure , god is watching and can truly see into the hearts of all humanity…

    May 1, 2006 at 7:35 PM Update: 18 years ago HILVERSUM - VVD Member of Parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali may have lied more about her past than she has admitted so far. Statements from her brother, aunt and ex-husband do not show that she had or had to fear for her family during her flight. Nor would she have been married off against her will. This emerged on Thursday in the TV program Zembla. The documentary makers visited family and other acquaintances from Hirsi Ali's youth in Kenya. Hirsi Ali, whose real name is Hirsi Magan, lived there between the ages of ten and 22. The liberal MP said in Zembla in response that the three are lying on certain points. "That can be placed in a sense of honor and shame." The VVD was already aware that she lied about her flight account when she was put on the list. According to a spokesperson, this involved an incorrect name and date of birth and the country from which she came. At the time, the Liberals did not consider this an obstacle to putting her on the list. 'Little relevant' The stories as they are now being reported in Zembla "also do not seem very relevant to us", according to the spokesperson. He has no desire to intervene in a yes-or-no discussion and does not think this will have any consequences for the prominent Member of Parliament. Hirsi Ali's spokeswoman also does not comment on it. "I haven't seen any news." She further points out that Zembla has left out other issues about circumcision, for example. The program shows that Hirsi Ali lived in safety and reasonable prosperity in Kenya, where her family had refugee status. Even before a civil war broke out, her family had already left Somalia. This refugee status in Kenya alone was reason not to be able to obtain status in another country. Hirsi Ali states that she did not know this at the time. The liberal lied that she had fled from Somalia to a refugee camp in Kenya and from there came to the Netherlands. In reality she came from a safe environment in Kenya. In 1992 she married a man from Canada. On her way to her husband, she got off the plane in Germany and traveled by train to the Netherlands, where she applied for asylum. She did not want to live with her husband, whom she did not know. Wedding According to her aunt and her ex-husband who spoke to Zembla, the marriage was not against her will. They say Hirsi Ali appeared happy at the wedding in Nairobi. Her brother, Mahdi Hirsi Magan, also said this initially, but later explained to the ANP that his sister did not choose the marriage herself. "It was arranged by father and the family, without the groom and bride's involvement. Ayaan was only asked to cooperate." The MP continues to deny that she herself was at the wedding. Mahdi cannot provide clarity. "I didn't attend because I didn't agree with the "arranged" marriage. I have no proof whether she was there or not." Statements also differ about contacts with her ex-husband later in the asylum seeker center in the Netherlands. However, no one talks about coercion or fear. According to a family member, honor killings do not even exist in Somalia. Nawijn Member of Parliament Hilbrand Nawijn believes that Hirsi Ali should leave the country if it turns out that she lied during her admission to the Netherlands. He asked Minister Verdonk (Immigration Affairs) on Thursday evening whether she would like to deprive her party member of Dutch citizenship in that case. Hirsi Ali should also not be able to fall back on the status of asylum seeker. "I am shocked by these facts," says Nawijn, who was director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) when Hirsi Ali entered the country. "She misled us then." Minister Verdonk of Immigration did not want to respond to the findings surrounding her party colleague Hirsi Ali on Thursday evening.

    Well all i can say is, if people are anything like me, then i think i know what is going on in the churches, and attendance being down, its the lack of trust in the church message now, as they seem to be turning away from the teachings of Christ, and are more interested in the Woke message. Yes im religious, i pray every day, but i dont trust the church now, so dont go.. That is, i feel, what is going on...

    Isn't it about "life"? True life and light, behind and beyond its cultural expression, is the true light that lights each person who comes into the world. The true light that can only be experienced and known through Jesus Christ, the exact representation and expression of the Father. It's beyond principle, it's reality. it's living, breathing, relational, physical, mental, spiritual encounter.

    Under this logic, the Iliad & Odyssey must be reliable since we found places and people mentioned in those texts to be historical. You found 3 rocks that say nothing about Moses, Abraham, Noah or Jacob who don't show up in a single source before 300 BCE. On the other hand we have thousands of pieces of archaeology like Nestor's Cup, which mentions a legendary character in Homer's Iliad, and we have texts that are ascribed to Orpheus... so maybe its time we take those texts MORE seriously? oh wait.. you don't care. you have your 3 rocks and that is enough..

    This is a foolish illustration that just serves to put doubt into the mind of the believer. "Did you really believe if you flinch? IF YOU HAD REAL FAITH YOU WOULD'VE STAYED STILL!" Regardless of if you flinch or not it doesn't change God's promise to save you. Someone can believe in physics but still flinch despite knowing that they won't get hit. When two kid brothers are play fighting and rough housing for fun one of those brothers can know that the other won't punch him in the face but that doesn't mean he won't flinch from time to time at the sight of a fist suddenly swinging for their nose (and if you've play fought with kids at the playground when you were a kid, you know what I'm talking about). Your salvation isn't based on your own ability to stand unflinchingly or perform a certain action or set of works as retroactive proof of "genuine" faith. The bible says in Hebrews 11:1 that faith itself is the evidence of things not seen, not your own works or your own ability to stand still. Jesus already paid for your salvation with his finished work on the cross so it doesn't matter whether you flinch or not. So first let's look at how to biblically be justified: Romans 3:24, Being JUSTIFIED freely by his GRACE through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:26, To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the JUSTIFIER of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus. Romans 3:28, Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED by FAITH without the deeds of the law. According to the bible you're justified by grace, faith, and belief. Belief is synonymous with faith which is synonymous with receiving God's grace. Faith is belief. Stop trying to insert a man-made gap into it to cause people to doubt if they truly believed. Instead of preaching the gospel and getting people saved or teaching what the Word of God actually says you dream up these vain illustrations to sow doubt in the minds of those with little faith. Salvation is not difficult. You just need to put the small amount of faith that you do have into the Lord Jesus and not in yourself and your ability to not flinch in the face of physics. Thank God that he doesn't base salvation on whether or not we flinch. Regardless of whether a believer flinches or not, they are still saved, not based on THEIR reaction and not of themselves as Ephesians 2:8-9 says, but based on the promise of God to save and justify the believer by faith and belief as I demonstrated in earlier verses. If you have belief, you have faith that justifies you; if you have faith, you have belief that justifies you. God is not a liar. If you believe in him you'll go to heaven. If you have faith in him you'll go to heaven. This illustration is unbiblical and just causes people to doubt. Even if you flinch in the face of persecution that's why 2 Timothy 2:8-13 was written. In context it's Paul talking about how he's facing affliction, suffering, tribulation, and persecution (sort of like a heavy object swinging at you straight for the face), and that even if you don't have faith in the moment, God will not lie because God is the one who abides faithful. 2 Timothy 2:13, If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Our salvation is based on the promise of God not our ability and efforts to keep still. And again, the believe not is in reference to not believing you'll make it through suffering or afflictions. Even if you FLINCH at the suffering of an object crashing at you God is still faithful and will not deny himself or break his promise to save those who believe or have faith on him... because biblically, there is no difference between belief and faith for salvation. Titus 1:2, In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Thank God that salvation isn't based on YOU and your efforts but based on Jesus who paid it all and gives us the free gift of everlasting life by grace. How do you get grace? Belief. Faith. Romans 5:18-19 says that we're justified by the righteousness and obedience of ONE (not two, not you+Jesus, not your ability to resist the urge to flinch, not your ability to turn over a new leaf and suddenly start following the laws which Galatians 2:16 says we are NOT justified by). All I can see from this illustration is a foolish and false point being made trying to tell people that they aren't really saved if their faith doesn't produce works or actions. This is a false gospel. Even if you have no works you'll still be saved if you believe on God who justifies the ungodly. Romans 4:5-6 states very clearly that to him that WORKETH NOT but BELIEVEITH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. According to the Bible, even if you "flinch" and your faith didn't produce the works or the actions, you're still justified and the righteousness of Christ is still imputed unto you. To him that worketh not means NO WORKS but still saved and still declared righteous by faith alone. Romans 3:28, Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. If you want to know for sure that you're on your way to heaven all you need to do is have faith in Jesus to save you and believe the gospel. 1 John 5:13 says that these things were written that ye might KNOW that you have everlasting life. If you want to be saved and know with certainty that you'll go to heaven and eliminate all doubts in your mind I highly recommend you look at the bible way to heaven video from Pastor Robinson or Pastor Jimenez on TH-cam (there are other good videos, but I like these two). It's a short 10 or so minute video that goes through the full gospel for you and will get you squared up if you have any doubts on whether or not you are saved. God bless.

      @@thoughtful1233 *”Like what?”* I don’t often have access to a computer these days and it is difficult responding on a phone. But let’s try this? What do you think that the chances are that God exists? Are you aware of Dawkins on the question? Well over a decade ago he initially said to Ben Stein that the likelihood was 99% that God didn’t exist. With virtually no more than Ben Stein saying “Think about that.” Dawkins modified his response to “well north of 50%” What gives in a situation like that? Then ten years later (I think he was on stage with Ricky Gervais) he was back to the 1% likelihood that he exists. Of course you’d be correct if you assume that there was no pushback from Gervais on that occasion. So in a come-clean video I expect him to come clean on the flip flopping. I’ve noticed other atheists being willing to take a much less vitriolic stance since Ayaan’s essay.

    "There is something, a powerful entity" Same old nonsense. So, why isn't that entity Allah? Once you decide to go to La La Land any old nonsense can be imagined and believed to be true.

      Allah is the Arabic word for God. God is the Germanic word translators used when creating English translations of various Hebrew words including Yahweh or YHWH. It's important to separate the language we use from the intent. Her intent is clearly to refer to the God of the Bible. The God Incarnate in Jesus. The one true God. First person of the Trinity. Maybe we should cut her some slack, not to mention Christian love and charity.

      Because Allah as described in the toilet paper qur'an is indeed nonsensical since Muhammad obviously made up a lot and forgot what he said so one creation accound is 4 days, another one is 8 days. The bible on the other hand describes JHWH as the creator that created the world in 7 undefined steps described as "days" (funnily enough we find all animal groups in the correct order in the fossil layers f.e.) and created humans in his image giving them some form of an ability to make free, informed decisions in some way. And it's the God who wants us to have a good life on earth by having a relationship with Him and evidently by following what God told us humans have a better life.

    Loved her since first reading her amazing auto-biographical work, Infidel. Always hoped she would grow into finding Christianity. That she has is just awesome. Thank God. Literally.

      Prove to me that your message was written by an intelligent mind and didn't get here by just random natural processes. But on a serious note, people don't spend their lifes trying to prove God's existence, for most people it takes just a few conversations. But there are people who want others to also find the truth and escape this helplessly irrational excuse of a worldview called materialism

    Intelligent people, deep thinkers are turning to God, opening up to Christianity. Ignorant and shallow people by default are not interested in meaningful pursuits.

    “The very idea that a text should tell you what you should do is actually immoral. Because now you’re saying that whatever somebody writes has become moral for you. Morality should not be based on authority. It should be based on your empathy for the suffering of other human beings.” Dr Avalos

      You do realise the irony in posting a written quotation by a supposed authority figure imploring us morally not to base our morality on what has been written down by authority figures?

    I’ve been on the inside of and alongside the kind of fundamentalist Christian communities that espouse faith healing and believe in angels and demons and it’s universally cultic and all the spiritual power is a confidence trick. Trust me. I’ve seen it all. And this kind of bull shit is far from harmless. The three young posh people here talk from their positions of privilege and pontificate romantically about religion they don’t believe themselves. Christianity is RETURNING? Tom Holland & Justin Brierley in conversation A return to superstition is not a means of revivifying morals and meaning in the post modern age. I am concerned that young British people who have grown up without Christianity are looking for these things. But we know better now. And we can see the ultimate trajectory of religious fundamentalism in Trumpism, and ISIS and even in the burgeoning African charismatic faith, where misogyny and homophobia are taking on new levels of toxic fanaticism. No. There really is more between heaven and earth than is dreamt of in Horacio’s philosophy. But superstitious religion won’t take us there. It’s my sense that it may be within the age old disciplines of mystical meditation that we may find ourselves re-homed within a matrix of meaning again. These disciplines, forgotten since the Celtic church was brought to heel by Augustine and again crushed at the reformation, need to be re-learned. The practice and experience of mysticism teaches us that really we don’t know much, but that the transcendent is waiting to be explored and it teaches us the humility both of the agnostic and the environmentalist and of the humanist. This is where we should go for our morals, our passion for social justice, our longing for social cohesion and our willingness to adapt to a finite planet. We need the humility of not knowing that comes from mysticism and not the tyranny of certainty that accompanies doctrinal religious belief.

    Holland: It is possible and highly probable that Jesus healed you. After all you were humble enough to ask for help in the way you knew how.How about having a Jesus miracle from God? Considering Jesus dead wounded and died for sins and sickness. This is what Jesus desired to happen when he embraced the cross. Clearly we acknowledge the mother of Christ, but she did not die for our sins and sickness.

    First I want to say how great this project is, and I intend to listen to the whole thing. However, you lost me hard on ep 7 George Floyd's narrative, calling him an innocent victim and comparing him in a way to Jesus, as people came together around the murder of an innocent person, that was crazy, when Floyd was a recurrent criminal and was in fact committing a crime which is why police was called. That part of the documentary was seriously lacking research and nuance but just an unfortunate stain on an otherwise amazing work, so far at least (ep. 7)
