Grew up Buddhist, became Atheist, got sucked into new age movement and believed I was my own god. I used to make fun of Christians and thought Christians were just a bunch of crazy cultist but as someone who proclaimed to live by every "religion," I felt like a hypocrite for not giving the Bible a shot. But after diving deep into the Bible and something changed within me and I tried to fight it off. I told myself "No way, I will never be Christian, Jesus was just a great teacher like the Buddha." But I was so wrong and long story short, a lot has happened ever since picking up that Bible 2 years ago and I can say that I have changed as a person and I finally understand everything about my life and just life in general. I have never found so much inner peace connecting back to God and I can proudly say that Jesus saved my life and that I love him with the new heart he has given me!
Edit: WOW! I love you all, thank you for all the kind words and support. That is why God brought me back to his family!
Just to clarify to those people who think this is fake or I am just hopping on the "band wagon," I am 34 years old and I have been on this path since I was 18 years old. I finally gave my life to Jesus when I turned 33! So it was a process to get to where I am! God is great and the Lord is my shepherd!
What a wonderful testimony! Thank you for sharing it.
Love this! ❤
Hallelujah! God is so good! Jesus is the answer ❤
We are so happy to have you in the family of God.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Can you pinpoint a particular passage that spearheaded your conversion? What caused you to forsake all your former teachings and go all in on Jesus Christ?
I'm desperately curious, but I hope you don't mind my asking: I, too, went through atheism to come to Christ, so I'm always intrigued to meet a fellow traveler.
Please post a testimony on your YT! Even if it’s just that comment as a video! Would love to save it
Jesus has changed my life . I fought it for too long .. Now that I have completely accepted him into my heart, everything has changed
Hallelujah! Same for me!
There is none other like Jesus 🙏✝️

Exactly Jesus The Christ of Nazareth is God Almighty manifest in flesh 💯. Mathematics Professor John Lennox out here making modern Atheists like Richard Dawkins look silly and speaking FACTS 🔥. I was raised Christian but I became an agnostic and atheist at 17-19 years old until I started studying religious beliefs, Christianity and Apologetics Happy Pentecost season brothers, sisters and everyone else He's Alive forevermore AMEN 🙏 ❤️ 👏. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

@@dirkjensen969what does your comment even mean? Lol
Whoever asserts that the Judeo-Christian God is a created being, and thus we should ask who created God, doesn’t understand Judaism nor Christianity.
There is no such thing as judeo christianity.
Indeed.
Whoever asserts that the Judeo-Christian God is an uncreated being omnipotent and omniscient within the universe he created doesn't understand logic.
[EDIT: Many replies to this comment have misunderstood me: the Judeo-Christian God is "omnipotent and omniscient within the universe he created" but not *confined* within that universe. I used those words because, for all we know, there may be many Gods, each creating and maintaining their own universes.]
whoever asserts that the universe is a created entity, and thus we should ask who created the universe, doesn't understand the universe.
whoever asserts that the Hindu creator God is a created being, and thus we should ask who created Brahma, doesn't understand Hinduism.
whoever asserts that (insert any religion of your choice), and thus we should ask who created (insert god of your choice), doesn't understand that religion.
when you're not specializing in molecular biology, do you create mad libs???
The word itself "God" implies that there shouldn't be a higher being. One can't simply assume it could be created, let alone if the lore implies he has been around forever.
My wife told me shortly after getting married that she would’ve never married me if I had not become a Christian. God changed me. My wife saw that And then wanted to marry me!
So she wanted to marry someone that couldn't think for themselves, the same as her.
oh so you were indoctrinated and manipulated.
@@MrSouthernlord Give me one original idea of yours
@@MrSouthernlord So, from your condescending and classless reply, one can easily discern that if someone else THOUGHT like you, you'd be okay with that?
If so, narcissism or fascism suits you well.
From your lofty ideal(s) of yourself, what one, just one..., original thought have you to enlighten us plebes?
@@MrSouthernlord You don't think for yourself at all. You're in fact a brainwashed NPC with not an original thought in your entire lifetime. Guaranteed.
Atheists are gross people, with gross secrets and have rationalized away god as not existing so as to never face your own evil deeds.
You're disgusting and foolish.
The debate will always get turned to Jesus because he is the way the truth and the life and there’s no way of hiding it because the TRUTH prevails.
God bless you all ❤️✝️
AMEN!
Amen. That is all I’m trying to say WE THE CHURCH NOT a building this our body where our comforter HIS HOLY SPIRIT DWELL. must preach Jesus Christ. Leaving any and all religion behind US. Yes we must unite and behold where 2 or more ARE EXACTLY HE IS THERE. can you all NOT SEE where so called Christianity is goin. Where is Islam Judaism and all others. Anti christ that is where they are. And Christians preaching what ? What are they preaching, our LORD AND GOD JESUS WILL SAY I NEVER KNEW YOU!!! Amen

jesus is dead and that's it mate. there is no god. stop sitting on santa's knee hoping for a train set, it's not coming.
Jesus is the way to god not god 😅
So tired of people saying Paul created Christianity. They clearly have not studied Paul.
Nor christianity, their is no actual evidence of paul ever being anything other than a lie on paper to justify the bible , Which cannot be justified.
Where as god been for over 65,000 years of my peoples civilisation and culture.
Show me the evidence of any god from 65,000 year ago.
Religion has one motive, to infest population's , divide them , then have war each other til very few reamina.
All in the name of a god that has no existence outside the minds of imbeciles.
That's like a pastor saying "My church". The Church belongs to Jesus. The pastors might as well say "I am Jesus".
What’s fascinating is that if you listen to every dialogue with an atheist and a christian, the atheist’s words are so void of life and are extremely shallow when it comes to the human condition. But the christian has something deep and profound to say about life.
So very true. That’s one of the main points which turned me. Just two different kinds of people usually and it’s clear as day.
I know this from personal experience. It is because they are stuck in love of their intellect. It is the bits of the fruit from the knowledge of good and evil. The mind is not life, the heart is, that is where Jesus resides, so that is why it sounds devoid of life. They have not connected the two. They have both, hence why so many agnositcs and atheists can not bear the suffering in the world. They are not heartless. They know there is a God, they are just angry with Him. or why would they spend so much energy focused on him? They do not beleive they will destroy Christianity with their arguement, they are argueing because they desperately want to be proved wrong.
For me science was one of the things that change my mind. The split particle experiment where the action of a particle changes based on whether it is being observed or not. So the mere act of observation changes the action of observable phenomenon. Also consider the placebo effect where beleif can change the state of cells in the human body. It's not rocket science. 😊.
Maybe most atheists just don't feel the need to philosophise about the human condition, because they are simply getting on with being alive.
I am currently listening to Christopher Hitchens's memoirs and find them to be deep, profound, and very moving in regard to the human condition. Check that one out.
@@haggismcbaggis9485 Hitchens was the one and only. That’s why across the board if you ask any Christian who they respected or liked the most in debates Hitchens will be far and away the winner for both sides. I would think Lennox makes the atheist think a little bit deeper as well as compared to Craig or some others. But that’s me b
Just being honest here. I’m subbed or was subbed to quite a few channels like this, and you are by far my favorite. Keep it up brother. You do a great job.
Thanks for the encouragement! All Glory be to Christ!
I came to Christ about 3 years ago. I don't go to a church. Videos like yours really help keep me enagaged. Lennox is beacon when I get lost in doubt. I thank you for what you do.
A Romans 15:13 Blessing to you!
Connect yourself you need it
@@barrypeterson6725Thank you, brother!
All good. Churches will tell you otherwise but they aren't necessary to it. Good luck
@Murk_Matter Thanks for this. Can you say more? I meet with a friend once a week to study the Bible and pray. I also read the Bible daily and pray for guidance from God. I don't feel I need it until I find aporopriate people.
The happiest atheist I've ever met. If more atheists were like him, I'd have more difficulty with my faith. When I was low on faith, the one thing that kept me from losing it all was just simply what utter miserable people atheists were. But my faith is growing again and it's no longer an issue.
Love what you are doing with this platform. Keep it up and God bless ❤
What this atheist dude makes me think about is Romans 1. A hint of truth seeped out in his words even when though he suppresses the truth
yeah sure, we're all in denial, we'll all bend our knee, blah blah blah. it's all very predictable and just advertises how ignorant religists are.
@HarryNicNicholas you are all in denial lol. The entire thing of atheism is denial/disbelief. It's literally part of the definition. But atheists (like yourself) turn to insults because you actually don't have an argument. You just burden others with proving their point. Funny enough, atheism takes more faith than religion.
@@HarryNicNicholas Find something better to do with your time please.
@@HarryNicNicholasthe narcissism level of non believers is always off the charts
@@HarryNicNicholashave anything other than cliche nonsense that anyone can say? "Yeah sure, we're all delusional, sky daddy, sky daddy, so predictable and just advertises how ignorant and narcissistic atheists are".
My condensed answer to "Bad stuff; therefore, no God":
First, From the "Tree of the knowledge of good and evil" {Genesis) we are to experience both so that we, of our free will, seek our good God.
Second, we are in a temporary tent (says Paul) before we get a new body and go to one of two permanent homes. I want to be in God's home and not the one reserved for Satan.
Have you ever _directly observed_ either this 'God' or Jesus?
@@Theo_Skeptomai Amazing.
If Jerry B had to say "yes", you would not believe the answer and say a personal experience is no proof.
If the answer was "no" then you would be all over it like white on rice.
So - why ask a question that is skewed to your prejudice?
In this very video, your answer is given. If the evidence of thousands and millions of people all saying the same thing "Jesus changed my life" does not convince you, perhaps then you should seek your own "personal experience". If you don't - you're just missing out on the best thing in life. Life itself.
My answer? Bad Stuff and God can both exist in the Bible at the same time. So where did bad stuff=no God come from?
@warren6395 How do you know what I would or would not believe? Please tell me your methodology for knowing so.
@@Theo_Skeptomai By the way you asked the question, and by the question itself.
In what way am I wrong?
As a teacher of Religious and Moral Education in a Scottish Secondary School, I was often asked this question: "Who created God?" My response was simple: "A man in a yellow submarine." This led to the question "Who created the man in the yellow submarine." The ensuing question was answered by "A pink purple-eater." The answer to the next question was "A giant cricket bat" (which is were the "atheist" must start - with life coming from non-life). The answer to the next question was "God. Now where did this conversation start?"
The point is that, by definition, the Creator is uncreated. People who fail to understand that are totally confused!
>
Do you have verifiable evidence (beyond what believers believe) of that?
As a teacher, you would therefore know you are engaging in Special Pleading.
Atheists don’t think that life comes from non life, or something. Atheism doesn’t say anything of the sort.
Youre just making up excuses for it being able to provide evidence for your absurd claims. Don’t be mad at the atheist. That’s not my fault.
I see why you teach theology instead of…something REAL like a REAL educator does.
Wow, how convenient it is that the creator was not created. Simple and straightforward solution. Ingenious.
@@ilyaklyashtornyy4269
If the creator was created then we'll have to go on and on and on endlessly.
But that's impossible. If there were infinite days before today, we'll never have gotten here.
Which implies there definitely is a beginning and that beginning is not a created.
Paul heard the gospel from Stephen. He is Luke's eye-witness for Acts 7. So, on the road to Damascus, Jesus telling Paul that he is persecuting Jesus changes everything for Paul. Paul is able to see Jesus is the Messiah the prophets spoke of in the Jewish scriptures.
Yes, he heard Stephen's message. But Paul believed because he had a face to face encountered with Jesus. The Man he saw died on the cross was alive having conversation with him. And Jesus made him blind.
paul had no idea what jesus looked like - did that occur to you?
@@HarryNicNicholas Paul was a Pharisee. He was a member of the Sanhedrin. The people who plotted to kill Jesus. He always testified that. And Paul spent 3 years with the resurrected Jesus in Arabia. Jesus introduced Himself to Paul in Acts 9. Paul testified he saw the resurrected Jesus in 1 Corinthians 15. Read the Bible. It is all there.
@@HarryNicNicholas 3 As he went on his way and was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 He asked, “Who are you, Lord?”
He replied, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 6 But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you need to do.”
7 The men traveling with him stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
Hemmorrhoids are an (inflammation) signal by the body that you're damaging it by eating the wrong food. I've had hemmorrhoids my whole life and so has my dad and they went away completely when we stopped eating seed oils, sugar and processed carbs following a carnivore, aka, proper human diet.
They don't go away if you change your diet, they may however stop troubling you.
@@mirandahotspring4019 I think I know how my own butthole feels. Of course they go away. Not only is there is no such thing as an hemmorrhoid that isnt "troubling", but once you understand what it is and how a high blood sugar as well as other inflammatory compounds from corpokibble poison affect the cells in your body which generate this inflammation (immune response) it becomes self evident even without the personal anecdote. You should start your learning journey from places such as Dr Ken Berry or Dr Anthony Chafee's channels. Lots of great life changing nutritional medical info.
Hmmm...I had post-partum hemorrhoids.
They can be managed just like scars on my body from injuries I've had as a teenager and kid growing up.

Also....the world has fallen, our genes are decaying. We are NOT the beautiful physical specimens we were at Creation. I can't understand why people don't see that. The only thing that keeps us living longer in the vast majority of cases is drugs and surgery and even then, in our much-lauded longer life span we are plagued by the incurable curse of dementia.

And even though I have gone through some tough things, I have always had *hope* , because of Him.
can you ask him how we get cold fusion working, cos frankly i don't believe you, if you can find the answer to the energy problem we have - which might solve hunger as a by product, then i might believe you and that there is a god, but i think you won't get the answer, or you'll make a really complex excuse (god is busy, he can't answer physics problems today) and you're full of crap.

Well, I haven't seen you "solve hunger", so should I believe *you* exist?
@@ingela_injeela
You may have noticed ,Harry does not claim to be a god. Not sure what point you believe you made there.
There are many that claim they have a relationship with jesus /god but I cannot see what the difference is between that claim and the other claims regarding what god did/does. Totally untestable claims appear to non believers as just that, claims and assertions with no corroborating evidence. I mean how do you unravel the glaring fact people of other religions speak the same as you do about their own god?
@@ARRAM57 I was using Harry's logic back at him. Just because God doesn't act the way Harry wants Him to - does it therefore mean that God doesn't exist? No.
And when Harry accuses God of not caring for starving children, I ask him what he has done about it himself.
- Because God does in fact care very much about children. And He repeatedly tells us to *take special care* of widows and *fatherless* in their need - this is in God's eyes about the most important thing we can do. So why blame God, when *we* are not doing what God told us to do?
@@ingela_injeela
The thing is, no one has seen god act .....period.
As I wrote, one claim about god or what god has done ,is no different from any other, they all lack evidence. Which goes for people claiming to have a relationship with their version of a god too.
"God cares about children" ,they are just empty words in the absence of any evidence of a god or any evidence of any actions or reaction that has a direct causal connection to your god.
A well tweaked fabricated concept that answers every question but explains nothing.

@@HarryNicNicholas God doesn't need apologists, but they are helpful for folks trying to understand him. Seems to me that Brandon is onto something with this channel given the 630K subscribers that find his content useful or interesting.
It feels as though these days, everywhere I turn I’m met with hatred and disdain towards my faith, people calling all the points and arguments nonsense, logical fallacies, circular reasoning etc. I feel as though my people are being categorized in the same light as flat-Earthers and it’s horrible. I’m grateful for your channel that’s discussing these things thoughtfully and respectfully on both sides.
Just face the TRUTH
that
ATHEISM and RELIGIONS bring the DISHONOR, HUMILIATIONS, SUFFERINGS, and DEATHS of MANKIND
GOD will neither reward nor punish all Atheists,
instead,
Atheists
who trick and deceive their own families and neighbors to believe their LIE that the GOD and Father of Jesus Christ is cruel, merciless, unworthy, and undeserving to be honored and respected as the True and Sovereign GOD
will
definitely bring themselves their own dishonor, disgrace, and ETERNAL DEATHS
and also the humiliations, degradations, sufferings, griefs, and DEATHS of their own families and neighbors.
GOD will neither reward nor punish fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions,
instead,
Jehovah's Witnesses, SDAs, Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Born Again Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions
who trick and deceive their own families and neighbors to believe their LIES and false teachings about "hellfire", "afterlife", "immortality of the souls", "Armageddon", "Trinity, "rapture", and "reincarnation"
will
definitely bring themselves their own dishonor, disgrace, and ETERNAL DEATHS
and also the humiliations, degradations, sufferings, griefs, and DEATHS of their own families and neighbors.
The BIBLE, GOD, and JESUS CHRIST HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ATHEISM and RELIGIONS
The loving, kind, and merciful GOD's favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4
is
NOT for Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of Religions
but
ONLY for lowly, ordinary, kind, and respectful persons on earth who willingly submit to the authority of Jesus Christ
and obey his teachings too about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead"
clearly written in the BIBLE, in Matthew 28: 18, Luke 4: 43 and John 11: 25, 26
All human beings will just return to dusts after their deaths as written in Ecclesiastes 3: 19, 20
but
the teaching of Jesus Christ about the "Resurrection of the Dead"
guarantees
that loving, kind, considerate, and respectful persons on earth who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others
will
all be RESURRECTED back to life in the right and proper time so they can live and exist on earth forever as citizens and subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD"
and fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, goodness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of GOD and his Christ for eternity
under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ as his GOD and Father's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.

I love your channel! Keep doing the great work you are doing.
Dawkins himself admitted he doesnt care abkut evidence, no amount of evidence could convince him of God. That dismantles the initial reason for Atheism being lack of evidence. Its not that.
More to the point, Dawkins details what evidence wouldn't convince him that God is real.
1. Touching God.
2. Meeting Jesus face to face.
3. Stars spelling it out in multiple languages.
4. Angels leading a procession of Jesus's return.
5. Anything that leads to such conclusions should be ignored, and the science paid lipservice.
6. And ignore anything written, eyewitnessed or crowd witnessed by anyone, anywhere, ever.
I think that about summarised his stand. There's more, but that'll do where his head is at, in his own words.
No, it only questions Dawkins' reason being a lack of evidence. But if your god was real surely he'd know what evidence would convince Dawkins.
@mirandahotspring4019 God does not force others to accept Him. The evidence is only there for those who seek it, not to those who stubbornly try to refute it.

Thank you for your excellent teaching and commentary breaking down these arguments and expanding on it. Thanks Bro!
You're doing great! I sometime use your videos in my Theology class.
One of my favorite songs from Katie Nichole is called. I am living proof why I love that song because I am living proof that God is real. He has taken all my addictions, giving me peace of mind, free from anxieties and worry I don’t know how people can’t believe. When someone like me used to drink, smoke, drugs, whatever I wanted most of my life and the second I started praying to Jesus it all went away. he’s right it’s not just me people being physically healed all the time all around the world. What will make these unbelievers believe?
God has to do it. They are literally dead unless He causes them to search for Him, but as long as they have a pulse they have the possibility. The answer is they should humble themselves to see if they are of the elect and read his Word and go to a Bible teaching Church. God will cause them to conform to His image if they are His. ❤
If you're going to ask "Who created God?" You also have to ask "Who created the 'Proto pebble'?" which exploded and became the universe.
People devote their careers to trying to understand that.

This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

@@ENoob it's exactly the argument that is being made at 11:00. How is it different?
@@ENoob glad you've seen the light
Lennox misunderstands the premise of “who created God?”
You have to establish that God wasn’t created. Just saying he wasn’t created isn’t enough. You have to give a grounding for that assertion.
If you can’t answer “how do you know God isn’t created?” Then you can’t assert that he isn’t created
Lennox and many apologists seem to think that making assertions is all you need to do.
Logically infinite regression is nonsense, so there is no need to even address the point. Why should Lennox have to address a self refuting argument?
@@Gorpmeat it’s not an infinite regression. You don’t understand what time is.
Also, to avoid an infinite regression you can’t just say “it stops here!” You need to give a reason why
@@arthursworld7302 Yes it is an infinite regression. You are constantly going "Who created God? Ok, then who created the being above that? And the being above that?" By assuming a creator at all for God you get into this complete logical nonsense. God, by definition of being God, is already the end. The final stop. There is no one above him or he wouldn't be God to begin with.
@@pcdeltalink036
1. I’m not assuming an infinite regression. I’m not assuming anything and I’m ok with saying “I don’t know,” because I’d rather be correct than certain but incorrect.
All creation, every act, is understood as a change over time. Before this, now that.
But The Big Bang is the beginning of time as we understand it. Our understanding of everything breaks down before the moment of the Big Bang. There can be no creation without a change over time, which needs time to exist but there is no time.
So what could have caused the Big Bang?
1. A creator god
2. Another natural process similar to a multiverse concept
3. A constant repetition of expanding and contracting of the same universe.
4. Something else that hasn’t occurred to me (who am I to say I’m capable of coming up with all the possible answers?)
2. You’re claiming that a creator God is the beginning of everything. Here are the issues with that.
2.1 how do you know which god it is that is the creator god?
since there are many competing ideas of god. Only one can be true or they can all be false. Those are the two options.
2.2 how do you know that the buck ends with your god and that it doesn’t end with another God that created him, but is not expressed in the Bible?
2.3 what’s the problem with saying “I don’t know. But I’ll make a conclusion after I see more conclusive evidence.”?
What you guys are doing are just arbitrarily saying “this god is where the buck stops because it makes sense to me. I must be right.”
Don’t you see how I arrogant that is? Why not be humble and accept that this is beyond our current understandings as humans?
Or would you rather be certain but incorrect over being correct?
Thank you for the video! Can you make it possible to save it?

false argument
Just because meeting someone "changes your life" does not imply that that person is necessarily a supernatural god.
The same way that you find your meaning in life through diving into vices and drowning in pleasures that the world has to offer just to get by and make your life feel "unique".
@@danyaelpecson557 Yep. There was a chance that Paul was drugged on the way to Damascus.
The key to why this is relevant is in who Paul was and who he became:
Paul (at the time called Saul) was a devout Jewish Pharisee that considered Christians to be blasphemers and he persecuted and attacked Christians for their beliefs. He was in a position of power and wealth, set up to be an influential figure in his society for life.
Why in the world would someone like that have a complete change of heart and start proclaiming the gospel to the point of being stripped of his status and wealth, thrown in prison, and eventually killed all because he claimed to have seen Christ risen from the dead? Perhaps he actually saw the risen Christ?
Not only him, but many others over a period of 40 days including 500 Jews at one single time saw Jesus risen from the dead. And that is only one of many evidences. The truth is that Jesus Christ is risen and he loves us, put your faith in him and be saved!
@@Gorpmeat
If he existed, and that change occurred, no one knows for sure.
- It could be because he hallucinated and went crazy.
- He could have been in a fragile moment and simply adopted that as true because it made him feel better or special.
- It may be that he was misunderstood
- It was a story invented later by biased believers.
That is to say, there are many possible explanations, and more reasonable ones, than appealing to a supernatural being.
As I told you at the beginning, no one knows for sure, but if believers want to establish the evidence of Paul's change as the extraordinary intervention of a god, then they must show extraordinary verifiable evidence.
Your other paragraph is ad-popolum.
Keep in mind that the Bible was written long after the supposed miracles, and edited by obviously biased believers. Not very different from the heroic wonders of powerful warriors that their people tell as true to increase national pride.
The fact that the person was once dead and is now alive speaking to you might hint that it's God...
Faith supported by reasoning.
"Proof" vs "Evidence" is a very important distinction to make!
5:47 “Who created your Creator?” 🔥
The atheist in this debate is just a poor debater. He opens up opportunities for Lennox to capitalize on. However, Saul/Paul didn't 'meet Jesus', he had a vision, a hallucination, a dream, brought on by any of a number of things. Perhaps an excess of wine, perhaps too little water and too much sun, whatever, combined with his history of abusing Christians. Such things happen to people even today, they hit a moment in their lives they realize they need to change and they make a change. And a religious zealot is going to continue to be a zealot, but they might change teams. Much like a recovering addict (a kind of zealotry) will become a very annoyingly dedicated religious person depending on which religious group helped him through his addiction recovery process.
And the creation aspect in this discussion is similar, the atheist on stage made a very poor presentation for what is essentially the problem of evil. If evil exists your god cannot. Christians have a number of responses to this beat into them, ranging from 'mysterious ways' to 'who said god is always loving' to 'god allows evil to help us grow'. None of which make sense but those are examples of common responses. And I say they don't make sense because in a system where you have an all powerful, all knowing god setting things up there is no need for humans to learn through such pain and hardship, it could simply imbue us with the needed knowledge and skills and disciplines from the start. We don't build cars such that they need to hit a few curbs in just the right way before they will go down the street properly.
So this debate is simply Lennox getting handed an opponent that isn't very good at what he does. Debating is a skill, this is like the sign behind them says, just a conversation, one that appears to be sest up to make Lennox seem like a genius. Let's see how he does against someone else, like Sam Harris perhaps, or Stephen Fry. We lost Hitchens who would have sent Lennox away in tears.

The BIBLE, GOD, and JESUS CHRIST are OPPOSED and AGAINST ATHEISM and RELIGIONS
The loving, kind, and merciful GOD's favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4
is
NOT for Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of Religions

ONLY for lowly, ordinary, kind, and respectful persons on earth who willingly submit to the authority of Jesus Christ

The teaching of Jesus Christ about the "Resurrection of the Dead"
is
NOT for Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and fanatics of Religions
but
GOD's guarantee that loving, kind, considerate, and respectful persons on earth who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others
will
all be RESURRECTED back to life in the right and proper time so they can live and exist on earth forever as citizens and subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD"

John Lennox actually debated Hitchens before and did not in fact go away in tears.
@@Laugical Well I found this: th-cam.com/video/jB6BTb8Dinw/w-d-xo.html Which is referencing a debate in Edinborough. There was some kind of audience vote and they sided with Lennox but even Lennox says in this clip to not put any stock in such votes.
Hitchens remained an atheist though so clearly he was not convinced.
Even so, I was not aware these two had faced off, but my only impressions from the Lennox talks I have seen is he is something of a panderer, and a bit of a greased pig in terms of being skillful at not allowing himself to get pinned down.
Debates are funny things, They aren't about sorting out the truth, they are all about strategy, facts and truth are optional.
If you accept the Biblical testimony of Paul's meeting with Christ, Paul was blinded at the meeting of Christ and regained his sight when he met with the person that Christ told him to meet.
So, it's not so simple as him having a hallucination, or being dehydrated or drunk.
Either it happens as stated or the testimony is a complete falsehood
@@avi8r66 it’s funny how now that you know Hitchens and Lennox had a debate they are now not about finding truth or facts. If that is the case then what is the point in bringing up the idea of Hitchens debating Lennox in the first place? What does Hitchens in theory being a better debater have to do with the truth at all if truth is not found in debates?
There is no evidence, only hearsay from followers. The pharisee's never said anything about Jesus coming back from the dead. Now that would have been a good source.
The Pharisees present never said anything against the resurrection of Jesus Christ either. That's a good source, or they could have shown the body to the people, they did indeed buried him
Just face the TRUTH
that
ATHEISM and RELIGIONS bring the DISHONOR, HUMILIATIONS, SUFFERINGS, and DEATHS of MANKIND
What is GOD's favor and reward to Atheists?
ANSWER -
GOD will neither reward nor punish all Atheists,
instead,
Atheists
who trick and deceive their own families and neighbors to believe their LIE that the GOD and Father of Jesus Christ is cruel, merciless, unworthy, and undeserving to be honored and respected as the True and Sovereign GOD
will
definitely bring themselves their own dishonor, disgrace, and ETERNAL DEATHS
and also the humiliations, degradations, sufferings, griefs, and DEATHS of their own families and neighbors.
What is GOD's favor and reward to fanatics of Religions?
ANSWER -
GOD will neither reward nor punish fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions,
instead,
Jehovah's Witnesses, SDAs, Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Born Again Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions
who trick and deceive their own families and neighbors to believe their LIES and false teachings about "hellfire", "afterlife", "immortality of the souls", "Armageddon", "Trinity, "rapture", and "reincarnation"
will
definitely bring themselves their own dishonor, disgrace, and ETERNAL DEATHS
and also the humiliations, degradations, sufferings, griefs, and DEATHS of their own families and neighbors.
The BIBLE, GOD, and JESUS CHRIST HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ATHEISM and RELIGIONS
Who among human beings will be honored and rewarded by GOD?
ANSWER -
The loving, kind, and merciful GOD's favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4

How will Followers of Jesus Christ live and exist on earth eternally if they just die and become worthless and useless dusts on earth?
ANSWER -
All human beings will just return to dusts after their deaths as written in Ecclesiastes 3: 19, 20
but
the teaching of Jesus Christ about the "Resurrection of the Dead"
guarantees
that loving, kind, considerate, and respectful persons on earth who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others

@@captainkrajick
Who said they buried him? Who said the body was still where they left it if they did? A missing corpse doesn't mean resurrection.
@@captainkrajick The point is there is no mention for or against. The Romans were the ones responsible, and they made no mention one way or the other.
Paul was literally a Pharisee who encountered Jesus lmao
Where can I find the full video?
I am one of those whom the Lord Jesus saved and changed. I am a lost sinner and my life is so chaotic and Full of bad vices back then but when I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior my life was changed and got lost of those vices.
Thank God.
Except Paul did NOT meet Jesus in any form.
Would be dope if there was a Christian TH-camr conference where we could all meet up at.
I really like your channel
Truth is an asymptote. The right of the line ignorance. The left knowledge. Doesn't matter whether you are crossing the street or accessing your soul you divide ignorance by 2. Then again by 2 and so on. The line never touches the x-axis so you never achieve full knowledge. But at some point you are satisfied enough to act.
Understand Denial from the stages of grief and find what Faithfulness in Reality actually means and overcome the doings of Function and Error.
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Timothy 1:12, KJV)
Blaise Pascal, the wager guy, lived in a time and place in which not being a Catholic got you shunned from polite, influential society. And being a vociferous atheist, could earn you a public torture execution - not pleasant.
France was a Catholic country fighting a religious war and winning on the Protestant side. Religion was probably at least as important as party politics is today.
The book of his thoughts that was published posthumously only mentions the wager, after it absolutely rejects all the existing and accepted logical proofs of god and the prospect of ever having a logical proof for god.
So it is ironic that people argue both the wager and some logical reason that god must exist.

It seems that if you accept the reality of how we learn, through our senses which allow us to draw conclusions that are verified by continued experiences, then you cannot expect that experiences which transcend sensible experience ( how the mind can create images and sounds, based on former real experiences, that do not exist in the real world) are explainable based on experience alone. The mind has to abstract what it learns from sensible experience and create a coherent idea which is refined more and more through future experience. Just as we have built up a better picture of the world than the one available to Newton and Galileo so does the experience of Christians who have experienced the 'resurrection' through faith in a communion with the Church.
Good Morning
Thank You for a well structured platform. Always edifying. You are His instrument.
Peace and Blessings.

Amen.
could you please give links to the videos you show
Christ Completely changed my life. I have taken the time to read even study the Word of God. We do have to have a personal encounter with the living Christ. I will pray for this atheist and all of them. We are meant to pray for all mankind.
I once drank wine with Michael Ruse when he visited Stellenbosch University a number of years ago. He was really genuine and inspiring. I appreciate that he is more respectful to his christian opponents than his contemporaries are.
Could you put the link to the original video in the description?
No, that wouldn't be helpful for the narrative
Like for real. I gotta go search for this. Is love to see a good logical debate. I've been trying to explain to Atheists for years that evolution is ALSO a negligee system when taken to extremes.
Just look at environmentalism... gezzus
@@glytchd what do you think negligee means?
You're getting blasted in the votes. (2.5K - 1.6K currently) You've clearly touched a nerve. Keep up the good work! May He continue to give you strength and wisdom.
Jesus absolutely changed my life ❤️ praise God 🙏✝️
You changed your life. Jesus and God are just a delusion of your mind.
I think your clips are getting better maid. Have a good one. Jesus loves you.
What I have found is that when you live for the Lord, he lives for you and that is when you truly start living. Took me a long time to realize that. I now do my best every day to let my thoughts rest upon him as much as possible and that time increases every day. He is truly with you at all times.
Josh McDowell books!
1.The logic of faith!
2. Evidence that demands a verdict.
Not a blind leap in the unknown!!!
Have YOU read those books?

Yeah I did !!
Have you heard his name before???
Have you watched the video fully and attentively???
It seems you are irrelevant!!!
Don't forget, to have "confidence" in something is to have faith based off evidence. Confidence from the Latin: con fide... "with faith".
I have always been a natural skeptic. I grew up Anglican, rejected it as invalid at a young age, became an atheist, then evolved into a Christian based on evidence. Given enough time and an open mind, one cannot escape ultimately realizing the reality of God. Finally, that journey leads to the shocking fact that God Himself became man in the person of Jesus Christ.
What evidence convinced you?
@@friisteching3433 initially, an American Indian teacher opened my mind to spiritual beliefs. I explored religions for awhile, skeptically at first. I visited a Christian church, tried a prayer… and Jesus showed up! I got zapped like St.Paul on the road to Damascus. Since then, it’s been one proof upon miracle after another. It was all God doing it, not me.
@@MxVenator oh ok, no evidence then. Just an experience.
@@friisteching3433 No. Many, many verifiable empirical proofs. Perhaps you could share your definition of "evidence". I will try to share what I can. But, my story would fill a 700-page book.
@@MxVenator not really interested in stories, just the evidence that "then evolved into a Christian based on evidence".
Michael R. also didn't grasp that the church persecuting Saul believed in God but that he didn't believe in God revealed in the flesh, Jesus Christ.
I love that they’re trying to hash it out.
I love Lennox . Got to see him debate live . It was awesome :) .
Link to the full debate?
Wonderful discussion. Every believer whose faith in Christ impacts life is the evidence that Jesus lives and we serve the living God. Impacts their life is
Thats not evidence. All of you are evidence for delusion tho
You look like an IRL version of Mario and Luigi's blue triplet. 😮😂
Love you, bro. ✌️
7:07 If I understand what he is saying, what I am hearing is: He is arguing that Christians use confirmation bias.
Obviously, Christians would disagree. We don’t find evidence to prove a claim we have made up in our minds. The empty tomb, and Jesus appearing to his apostles IS evidence that Jesus is who he displayed himself to be. The apostles, and Mary did not use confirmation bias to seek positive evidence for a claim they were trying to create. The evidence came to them, literally.
Please understand that distinction. The apostles, and a couple of woman did not actively search for evidence to prove a claim, the evidence came to them.
I find it hard to believe the source. You don't have "Jesus appearing to his apostles", you have gospels saying Jesus appeared to them.
Thier words could be wrong.
Romans did not usually give out criminals a proper tomb, but instead discarded in mass graves. Why should the gospel be believed when it goes against what we know of Roman tradition?
@@friisteching3433 you don't know enough about Roman history. They often respected burial rights of other cultures. Especially in the far flung sections of the empire. For multiple reasons - not the least of which was simply pragmatic. Religeon and governance goes hand in hand. Even today: and You don't want an entire occupied culture rebelling cuz you didn't let them buttery their dead.
This event in particular was Quite the Ordeal and considered an 'internal matter' of the Jews.. ie. It was a high profile case just like ours today when such trials happen. Also he wasn't a criminal of Rome - he was a criminal of the Jews for being a heretic. The Roman's were merely the executioner since they were the local government. It was the jews that wanted him strung up and this the're again.. an internal matter and what they do with the body is no concern of theirs. So much so they even hastened the crucifixion by stabbing the man so that they could start their rites before sunset.
This was quite common for other religions to have their burial rites respected in many cases especially outside of lowgrade common-criminals.
@@glytchd we are not having a "respecting burial rights", but a punishment of a criminal.
@15:20 not just ppl but ppls from all different languages, races, cultures, classes, etc. That proves Jesus is the objective Truth He claimed to be.
I am hooked on Dr. John Lennox. Absolutely an amazing man.
God has really blessed you with a fruitful ministry
Jesus has changed my life! Praise The Lord, I’m not who I was. I have been born again, and the life that I now love I life by faith in The Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself up for me! Hallelujah!
Easiest question I always ask is if God can be proved 100% would you believe? If not then it’s a heart issue not a logic issue
If Paul thinks he met the resurrected Jesus, Paul need a psychiatrist.
