I love this Brother, He is amazing. Dr. James Tour is one of the most powerful preachers in today's world. Thank God for a man like him. He has given himself to the Lord completely. He outs me under conviction every time I listen to him. 💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praise the Lord. In 1973 my Jewish professor challenged me to show Jesus in Tenakh. I started in Genesis 1 "Let us make man" and then went to Isaiah 53. He replied that this was Israel. I said "please read it through(as he was standing in front of the class) and ask himself whether the one described had the characteristics of a man, rather than a nation. He said, "I think you are right." He then went on with lesson. (Not out of spite) Now many Jewish people are reading Isaiah 53. Thank you James Tour.
One of the most profound Christian Men in his love for Christ & the Holy Word of God. Dr James Tour comes as a very accomplished world scientist, but humbly talks about Jesus in a way that helps any listening person receive Him as Lord & Saviour, the most important transaction in this life!
You prolly dont care but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
I love Dr. Tour. What a man of God he is. He's been a real blessing to me. I share him all the time on social media to show "logical, science minded" nonbelievers that "not so fast.... you're only hearing the atheist side of science.... there are brilliant scientists who believe!"
There is no "atheist side of science" just as there is no left-handed view of economics. Tour is a religious zealot whose academic work has nothing to do with the origin of life or its evolution.
When a man of science comes to the lord one has to pay attention, a jew to boot. Dr. Tour speaks the truth, his comment about coming to the lord is true of me and my conversion, I never read the bible and then one day I was told my a believer to read Matthew every day for 30 days and that will transform me in such a way that they holy spirit would enter and it happens. YOu cannot intellectualize yourself to faith, it is a heart thing and not of the mind. I watch all the atheist, Bennett, Hitchens, Harris, and others and in listening to these brilliant men I see one difference, their heard is cold and that blocks their mind from acceptance.
@@frankieparton5122 This man is a liar, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. He literally thinks Adam and eve is an alternative to natural causes for the ool. Just because he tells you that your faith is justified doesn't mean he has anything to show for.
@@AZJCiLOA His motivation for lying? His conflict between his religious beliefs and reality. He chose faith, and he chose to lie about science to protect his delusional convictions, which after all, have no demonstrable correaltion with reality and no scientific merit whatsoever. “Based upon my faith in the biblical text, I do believe (yes, faith and belief go beyond scientific evidence for this scientist) that God created the heavens and the earth and all that dwell therein, including a man named Adam and a woman named Eve.” James Tour - Layman’s Reflections on Evolution and Creation. An Insider’s View of the Academy Want to watch him lie live on stage: th-cam.com/video/zU7Lww-sBPg/w-d-xo.html 45:27 "Those are not sugars..He is lying to you" Well, those are sugars. 46:11 "That's not a nucleotide; it's the wrong structure...." Well, that is a nucleotide with the right structure. Tour knows this. He also knows that YOU, his audience, don’t know or don’t care about the truth...he is a liar. His modus operandi is the constant suggestion that, criticising naturalistic explanations, adds credibility to the idea that this one God, he happens to believe in exists. This is an epistemological dumpster fire and he knows it. He is avoiding the burden of prove by not clearly stating what he thinks: ”God did it”; he is however more honest about his convictions in his written statements which clearly highlight his bias and lack of scientific integrity. Exept when he is preachghing to his flock, that's when his true colours show: “The word of God is true. *Every word in this book is true, every word,*. Let everything else be a lie, this book is true! This book is true, this was a prophecy and it’s just piled upon fact upon fact, evidence upon evidence. How much more would you like to understand that this book is true? To bow before God and say: Lord thank you for your work…every word in the Bible is true!” James Tour - at a “lecture” Huston first Baptist church 2019 (th-cam.com/video/3DlWkDkNLQo/w-d-xo.html) Tour rests his world view with the idea that the Bible is completely reliable, as a literal reading. He believes in miracles ..... and every point he raises in his 13 part rant about Abiogenesis, falls in one of the three following categories: - A misrepresentation by quote mining, confirmed by the researchers who got treated in this dishonest manner by Tour -Irrelevant to the subject -A blunt lie. You can see his rant point by point dismantled here: th-cam.com/video/ghJGnMwRHCs/w-d-xo.html During this 2.5 hours absolutely every single talking point of his are deconstructed in a strictly scientific context and the attached links to the papers that confirm each and every point Farina makes. Should you dear Tour fanboy ever dare to watch this, you also are treated with interviews with the mentioned, actual experts in the field, they all agree that Tour is a fraud and deliberately misleading in his presentation. It links to the data he lies about, as well as to the data he ignores, to pretend that it’s all about science instead of God.
PREACH! Yes, grateful to hear this message! And you shouldn't wonder why this man is gifted of God...Mr Tour is a walking man of God, not just talking. God bless his ministry and his family! Hallelujah Amen! Thank you Houston First for this message! Glory to God! Amen! ...and may God bless all who watch and listen to this message! Amen! And I couldn't agree more, READ YOUR BIBLES folks, to be in relationship with Christ, its reciprocal...and by reading Him, you learn of Him...Amen!❤🙏✌🏼
@@curiousgeorge555 John L is a mathematician if I'm not mistaken and to be quite honest, while myself a traditional Catholic, I find he makes too much use of theology in his debates, i.e. with atheists first you have to argue using science to show them that the old wisdom of apes becoming human or origin of life BS is a) false wisdom and b) bad science.
@Question Everyfing How about Dave’s challenge for Tour to publish his “work” in a scientific journal and submit it to the peer-review process. As in doing science, the stuff he normally does when he is not out sermonising. He knows that’s how it’s done, given that he brags about his 700 published papers at any chance. So, why does he do the rounds on Christian radio shows and his YT channel instead? After all he thinks he good the goods on decades worth of research. He acts as if figured out something that those thousands of scientists who, other than him, actually work in this field, from all over the world, with different cultural backgrounds and religions could not manage. Tour got a bit of a problem on his hand. Tour’s so called alternative to natural causes is based on the existence and interference of some ill-defined metaphysical substance/ entity/ force/intelligence/power/ supernatural whatever, not subject to the known laws of physics, that supposingly interacts with the fabric of our reality in ways that have thus far eluded every controlled experiment ever performed in the history of science. In other words, Tours supposed alternative is fictional.
This is the first time I've heard of this scientist & lover of jesus christ, I'm captivated by his profound & genuine love for God ...I truly would like to meet this man of God 🙏💯💯
I cried whenever I read this chapter and any other which describe the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It's a reality that the only man who will have nail prints in His hands, feet and wound in His side and He will be our brother and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that the blindness of God's chosen people will be lifted.
God love you Dr. Tour....It's great being able to bring you up in conversation as the greatest authority concerning abiogenesis…..but even more hearing you speak….Thank you so much.
@@TheKrautKontrol Well if "Profesor" Dave is right, why he is afraid/dont want to take a debate? If he is right everyone will see this. Saying that no because Dr James Tour will set up Debate for himself is not an explanation. Why? Because if he will indeed "set up" a debate then everyone will see this on live. Debate is part of scientific investigation, if you deny it you are no different from religious fanatic...
Amazing man who saw the love of God threw the lord JESUS and was willing to be shunned by his jewish brethren and mocked by his fellow scientists, he is a scientist of unbelievable talent and love for his fellow man and the gospel
God is good and so faithful. Jesus is my savior, my king, my father, my teacher, my everything! I've been seeking a stronger relationship with him and every day I'm finding exactly what I need to fight this spiritual war. My father will have every person he calls on!
But Muhammad is the last messenger of God . Jesus was the second last . Before Muhammad , path of Jesus was the right path . But after Muhammad , the right path is Muhammad's path ( Islam ) . Research about the Quran ( the last holy book from God ) .
@@nazmussaqib410 Muhammad is dead and buried. Jesus is alive and sitting at the right hand of His Father. Jesus existed before everything. He created all that exists. Christianity began with Jesus's ministry in 33 A.D. Mohammed was not even born then. Read the book of Genesis and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Thanks so much, Dr. James Tour, for this very descriptive message on what Jesus Christ endured on the Cross for us and our sin. How can we, as Christians, ever be the same again when we consider so much suffering took place on our behalf? God bless your wonderful ministry! Greetings from N Ireland and Shalom!
This is lovely...I am sending this to someone put on my heart that I have tried to witness to....maybe this was put in my path to send to her. Love to you Dr. Tour. And MARANATHA YESHUA HAMASHIACH!
Powerful Sermon Dr. James Tour.This the first time I heard this sermon from you.Thank you very much for inspiring me.will share with believers and non believers.lots of love.
34:20 struck me by its truth. Dr. Tour’s words make me think The Spirit of Truth is given to every man and woman, like a woman who discovers she is pregnant. They must only choose to be open to that life and let it grow. Yet too many are afraid, and choose not to.
Minute 2:41 in this speech is clearly reinforced in Isaiah 55: 10-11 . The study of the Old Testament is important in fully understanding the New Testament.
When Christ answered "it is written," to every Temptation He faced from Satan that is the key to Who He really is. He is the Old Testament come to life in the Flesh and nothing can change the pure Righteousness of this Sinless man who died for us.

@@derhafi I am Chinese. What happened in Genesis and the resurrection were engraved in Chinese words. I like to share with you my story. I am originally from China and immigrated to Canada with my wife Jenny and son Kevin on June 30, 2003. I didn't know Jesus until June 26, 2004. During those years I was a self-centered man without any religious belief. As a result, I did whatever I saw fit according my own standards. After I came to Canada, I had the opportunity to attend Christian church and read Holy Bible myself. Soon I realized I was a sinner and was ever on the way to everlasting punishment in hell. According to Romans Chapter 3 Verse 23, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Hebrews Chapter 9 Verse 27: Just a man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment. Romans Chapter 6 Verse 23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. John Chapter 3 Verse 16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. At 1:00 pm on June 26, 2014, I came to know Jesus by confessing my sins before Him and accepting Him as my personal Lord and Savoir. I was born again as a new creation. That was the happiest day in my life. I will never forget it. Thank the Lord, ever since I have real peace, rest and eternal life. I do things according to the commandments of God: Love God and love all people. My purpose in life has become: Live for Jesus and Glorify Him. In summary, Jesus is God incarnate. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world about 2000 years ago (Good Friday). God raised Him from the dead three days after He was crucified. Christmas was created to celebrate His birth. Easter was created to celebrate His resurrection, and He will come again to judge the world and bring to Heaven those who believe in Him. His second coming means the end of the world. Jesus loves you and Bible tells so. He has the best solution to all your problems. I suggest you make a decision to know Him by reading Bible starting from the first three chapters of Genesis, Psalm 139, Gospel Book of Luke in New Testament, then Gospel Book of John, the last three chapters of Revelation, Ecclesiastes, Romans, and visiting a near-by Christian church at your earliest convenience. If you so choose, you can pray to Jesus directly and ask Him to show you that He is a true and living God. I will pray for you for your salvation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. William Wei from Toronto, Canada Williamcwei123@gmail.com
@@williamwei9524 William, I’m glad that you found a way to be a person you like better with the help of your faith. However, I’m interested in the truth and vague verses in some ancient book, full of claim with no demonstrable correlation with reality, are simply not a reliable way to find any truth at all. The entire concept of “sin” and the idea of “hell” is just atavistic nonsense. And this “I came to know Jesus by confessing my sins before Him and accepting Him as my personal Lord and Savoir. I was born again as a new creation.” Is a level of delusion that I find quite worrisome. But since it seems to help you and this was the “happiest day in my life” knock yourself out. “since I have real peace, rest and eternal life.” Sure. “Jesus died for the sins of the whole world about 2000 years ago” Aha. Bases on what..the Bible? A cobbled-together anthology of disjointed documents, composed, revised, translated, distorted and 'improved' by hundreds of anonymous authors, editors and copyists, unknown to us and mostly unknown to each other, spanning nine centuries. Good luck. “His second coming means the end of the world” And you think this is a good thing? You just diagnosed positive for death cult. I have no more questions.
@@williamwei9524 No science confirms the supernatural claims of the bible. Stop being so gullible. At least call it faith, be honest....and make your peace with the fact that this myth provide comfort. That's ok. Don't try to drag science into this superstitious atavistic nonsense. It can't be done honestly, only be misrepresenting, lying and redefining scientific terms. Believe whatever you want, there is no need for lies( besides the ones your Bible holds)
I wish I had a fraction of his intelligence but I share the same passion for God and Christ. The miracles that happened in my life over and over are not a coincidence I don’t just believe there’s a God I know with every fiber of my being there is one! God Bless this man, so incredibly intelligent and humble 🙏❤️
Many people are unaware that the 2000 years ago, in Jewish culture, forgiveness of sins was achieved by sacrificing an actual lamb. The lamb was not discarded after that, but was cooked and shared with the tribe. Jesus is that lamb and is shared with anyone who wants to receive him. Plus can’t get anymore symbolic than on Passover. Also Isiah 7.14 prophesied his birth, not that Mary was a virgin, but that she was an (almah)young woman. 💕
Jesus' gift is FREE for everyone. For you, me and for ALL. It is not "taking advantage" of His death in a negative manner. You can take advantage in it a positive manner just like receiving a gift from someone who's giving it to you on your birthday or on Christmas. Just receive!
I keep hoping James Tour will & does believe in God Almighty Sanctified day #7 b4 sin entered the world! We ALL are to keep ALL 10 of HIS Commandments!!!
People should all read the book of Isaiah from one of those books of the Tanakh (the whole Old Testament) that has the Hebrew and English side-by-side which is translated by Jewish, not Christian, translators It is even more incredible and to me sounds more like Jesus (if you look, three people are speaking through Isaiah and one is himself but the other two are called Lord) and seems to refer to Jesus even more
When I was depressed about my own appearance, the only place I found solace and comfort was the reminder that came from that passage found in the hymn "oh, God the Eternal Father"( www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/hymns/o-god-the-eternal-father?lang=eng ) that said, "There was no beauty that man should him desire." I still smile whenever I sing that. But, then wondered at a wax museum where there was a depiction of the last supper and I jokingly told my friends how on earth would they even know what anyone looked like? And the little verbal explanation of the exhibit said it was taken from the words of Josephus, I believe,that Jesus was about 6 feet tall, remarkably tall for his circumstances. i always wondered about that. I guess I just believe a prophet over a historian every time.
"I guess I just believe a prophet over a historian every time" I guess then you are not actally interested in the truth of this stories...their suernatural claims in particular.
@@derhafi you brought up an interesting point, one I had not thought of and likely would not had without your perspective...thank you for sharing it. Maybe, I should rephrase it: Almost anyone can be a historian. When the truth is hard to trust...I will turn to witness I trust. That tends to be prophets.
@@melissahdawn You are welcome. If you find any unambiguously demonstrable correaltion between anything supernatural (including any God ever) and reality, let me know.
Thanks for taking me to that hymn. I love love love Reverently and Meekly Now. It is written in first person- so powerful. The words are so personal and beautiful.
Why do some people get persecuted and thrown out of the science world and some people don't? Could it be the extent to which they are willing to stand up for God beyond the church pulpit?
"Why do some people get persecuted and thrown out of the science world and some people don't?" Bcause some poele have scientific integrety, others like Tour do not. He, BTW is neither persecuted not "thrown out" of anything. He just gets rughtly laughed at for his deeply unscientific alternatives for naturalistic explantions he brings forward, with not a trace of evidence to support them.
I feel like at some points he has the John Piper Moment where he was being very serious and the audience laughed, because they just to get how serious it is.
I like James Tour, but he screwed up badly when he apologized to that ass** for calling him what he was - a bald-faced LIAR! Instead of folding like a house of cards he should've challenged the guy TO PROVE he wasn't lying through his teeth. Instead, he did EXACTLY what the Superstar of Stupidity's lawyer was banking on - folding like a first-time gambler on the first bluff in his career. He could've, no should've, forced the guy to prove he wasn't lying, and when he didn't (which is a fact), Tour could've forced him to take it down, and then touted it all over the freaking web. Damn! Jimmy, you should've rubbed his nose in it, and scored one for us BIG TIME at the same time!!!
Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, And Thy beauty fills my soul, For by Thy transforming power, Thou hast made me whole. Refrain: Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. Oh, how great Thy loving kindness, Vaster, broader than the sea! Oh, how marvelous Thy goodness, Lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved, Know what wealth of grace is Thine, Know Thy certainty of promise, And have made it mine. Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art, And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, Satisfies my heart; Satisfies its deepest longings, Meets, supplies its every need, Compasseth me round with blessings: Thine is love indeed! Ever lift Thy face upon me As I work and wait for Thee; Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, Earth’s dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father’s glory, Sunshine of my Father’s face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, Fill me with Thy grace.
Dr Tour, I often wonder if the act of memory would help to explain what we don't know scientifically. Following on from a Christian point of view. Could it be possible for our cell's to have a memory of the presence of God as they were created.
You may see yourself as a short, not so attractive Jew. To me you are 10 feet tall and as beautiful a human being as God has ever allowed me to experience.
You non believers out there,just look how everything is fined tuned for you,it balances on a knife edge. The cosmological constant is fine tuned to 1 part 10 to 120 So i dont think its possible that luck finely tuned it 120 decimal places and thats just one They are so many more.
I'm not sure Christ would've had "crooked teeth", as he wasn't tainted with our sin and sicknesses. He was without blemish. His sickness was vicariously taken for us, not through his own d.n.a.
Perhaps without blemish meaning without sin He was sinless But as for physical appearance perhaps he was perfect or maybe not Either way He’s the greatest person to ever step foot on this earth
Wow. I JUST read the line of Jesus went through Nathan, not Solomon, reading Luke 3 last night. Been a Christian for 30+ years and received this previously-unknown fact TWICE in one day.
Yes Dr Tour........and I read the matzah. bread is broken and Pierced......and Hidden.....this sounds like Yeshua jesus to me....isaiah 52. He was so Marred he could not be recognized. As a Man.....SO. MARRED. MORE THAN ANY MAN.....DESCRIPTION OF YESHUA. 😒🎇🎆😃😞😒🎇🎆🎇🎆
Dr.Tour, though you are a great scientist that you begin to define life, you must study these coded message in the Bible as a scientist not a preacher. Jesus was slandered by Pharisees and false witnesses and abandoned by many followers. He was falsely identified : John 1:10;Ps.22:7; Mt.26;67,68; John 6:66; 1Peter 2:4; His face is not that of a baby or that of a tortured victim. His true face is hidden from us. (Zech.11:13; John18:39,40; Acts 3:13,14; Acts 4:11)
Nothing can be said for sure about JESUS' APPEARANCE during his lifetime, according to the Bible. (The Shroud of Turin tells us something about Jesus. If it is a shroud of Jesus; I think it is His shroud.) Isaiah 53 tells of the suffering Servant (on the cross), and verse 2 is also related to THIS. Isaiah 53:2-3 “He had no dignity or beauty to make us notice of him. There was no attractive about him, nothing that would draw us to him. We despised him and rejected him; he indured suffering and pain. No one would even look at him - we ignored him as if he was nothing." This can also be interpreted as the fact that most of the Jewish leaders and people did not hold Jesus in any value, so nothing “beautiful” in Him. The New Testament says nothing about Jesus' appearance, so even less can be said about His TEETH! This is absurd! No evidence whatsoever. There are some mentions of Jesus in the Talmud, but they are generally dismissive and at least partly unreliable. English is not my first language, so it's a lot of work to look up those Talmudic passages. But for those with fluent English can check what has been written in Talmud about Jesus. Everyone can read about the Shroud of Turin and of another piece of cloth named The Sudarium of Oviedo. www.shroud.com/guscin.htm The Shroud of Turin is not a dogma of the Catholic Church, so you can believe in its authenticity or not. Signs and wonders are for those who doubt or do not yet believe. We live by faith (certainly), but God is so good that He speaks in many ways… May His Name be blessed forever!
I've seen Our Lord Jesus a few times. He looks jewish, very handsome in a jewish sort of way. You know His nose is there, but I could not focus on it. His eyes are captivating. (full stop) His beard, coal black, His eyes flames of fire. His skin rich with melanin.
"He was beaten more than any man..." (3:40) Incorrect. It is self-evident that many others have had their faces and bodies far more battered than Jesus. Do you not know that Jesus did not die of a physical broken body, but of a Spiritual broken heart; cut off from the Father - for our sins, which brought Him down to hell - in the experience of eternal separation from God? No man has ever suffered as much Spiritual beating as Jesus, and no man ever will. Was not Jesus the Divine human Who suffered the "Divine" wrath?
James Tour is an excellent storyteller. But so long as he is not an Old Testament scholar, in an academic sense, then I would be more trusting of OT interpretation from somebody who is.
God's Word speaks to the heart. Anyone can read (or listen to) God's Word and be touched by God. Dr. Tour was predominately just quoting from God's Word. God is a communicator. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1 We are made in God's image the Bible says. We use words to convey thoughts. Maybe the biggest difference between us and the animal kingdom. God is the Word. He conveys thoughts. We convey thoughts to each other and act on them. Dr. Tour used a good illustration in another video. I will expand on it slightly. We say to a friend "go down the block turn left and go another 3 blocks and stop at John's Convenience store and bring us both a chocolate ice cream cone. I'll reimburse you when you get back." Animals cannot do that. Only human beings and Angels can. I don't know you George. Maybe you are a believer in Jesus. Maybe not. Just read over the same Words that DR. Tour expounds on here. Isaiah 52:13 and then through the entire 12 verses of Isaiah 53. Just 15 verses in all. Then come back and tell us what you think. Look at Dr. Tour's academic credentials above. Fairly bright fellow. But not necessary to understand God's Words. I too am a Jewish believer. God opened my eyes to the Messiah Jesus 46 years ago. About 13 years after I had been Bar Mitzvah. I have never met or spoken with Dr. Tour. But I have known several Evangelical pastors and have been around several Biblical scholars. The Christian ones will all agree with Dr. Tour I am sure. The Orthodox Jewish scholars will say that these verses refer to the dispersed Jews who were despised by Gentiles around the world. But someday, the Gentiles will realize what they have done to my innocent fellow Jews. Well, scripture says that Israel was thrown out of the land twice. First by the Babylonians. And scripture is very clear that Israel was cast out for their SIN. And the second time they were cast out for their SIN by God allowing the Roman armies to do that (as God says again) their casting out again was also for their SIN. The one spoken of in isaiah 53 had done no wrong. (Isaiah 53:9,11). Can't be Israel. So what can you disagree with here about Dr. Tour's expounding of those 15 verses. Please respond. Yes, check some scholars. tell us what Dr. Tour missed. I don't think you can come up with anything material that disagrees with God's Words (those 15 verses here in Isaiah) as expounded by Dr. Tour. Let us know what the "scholars" say. Please.
@@Truthseekersws Oh, bullshit. There are world-class scholars who know how to read the original scrolls, in their ancient languages; and those are the scholars whom you trust to write the English version that you read. I would rather listen to any lecturer, having that higher level of expertise. James Tour never earned a PhD in OT or NT bible research. So why should I listen to James Tour, when I can listen to somebody who has? James Tour is limited to delivering a message of Christian apologetics. And I don't need that because a Google search for "Christian apologetics" will give me the same content that James Tour says. Christian apologetics is an old, tiresome, repetitive defense of Christianity, that we have all heard a thousand times.
Just thought of this, George, to help you get the views of a couple of Old testament scholars. I watched this TH-cam video of this debate some years ago. Here are a couple of Old Testament scholars debating about Isaiah 53. One is a Christian: Walter C. Kaiser Jr. is an American evangelical Old Testament scholar, writer, public speaker, and educator. Kaiser is the Colman M. Mockler distinguished Professor of Old Testament and former President of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. And the other is an Orthodox Jewish Scholar: Pinchas LaPide: th-cam.com/video/xUhaK-R1JLg/w-d-xo.html
@@Truthseekersws You have a surplus of free time. I am not going to read all that, or watch any TH-cam video that you recommend. I don't even know you.
Whoa there. Back up a bit. The crucified man's image on the Shroud of Turin is, 5 feet 11. Christ, Like King Saul was indeed head and shoulders above other Jews.
@Paul F, what evidence do you have that the shroud of Turin even belongs to Yeshua haMashiach/Jesus Christ? The catholics have enough wooden material to load a few tractor-trailer trucks and they claim that those are pieces of the cross on which Christ was crucified. There are also claims about the spear which pierced his side called “the spear of destiny” and the cup he drank out of at the last supper called “the chalice” ( a fancy cup made out of gold). I don’t have the time and energy to waste in believing this kind of nonsense, but I’ll believe the words written in the Bible to the very last one !!! If the Bible points out in Isaiah 53 that Yeashua of Nazareth, the Mashiach had nothing attractive about his appearance, then that’s what I believe regardless of what claims are made by those who examined some shroud they found somewhere !
@@hereintranzit who else could be the man on the shroud? It's one of a kind, can't be reproduced, no one can explain what caused it except that it was a burst of radiation that scorched the very tips of the linen fibers. The abundance of evidence points to the burial shroud of Jesus. Note also, a strong case can be made showing historically artists using the shroud as their model for painting how Jesus looked. Just because the catholics commandeered it can't take away its authenticity.
@Paul F, The Shroud of Turin has not been proven to be authentic. It may or may not be authentic. The Scriptures are authentic. Count on what they say about Jesus.
Hallelujah! 🙌🏽 I love the passion with which Dr. Tour preaches the Word of GOD ❤
I love this Brother, He is amazing. Dr. James Tour is one of the most powerful preachers in today's world. Thank God for a man like him. He has given himself to the Lord completely. He outs me under conviction every time I listen to him. 💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The amazing message about the Bible.The important part in Jesiah Capther 53!Thank you very much for your teaching.
God bless you Dr. Tour❤️🙏
Praise God for this blessed man.....
Praise the Lord. In 1973 my Jewish professor challenged me to show Jesus in Tenakh. I started in Genesis 1 "Let us make man" and then went to Isaiah 53. He replied that this was Israel. I said "please read it through(as he was standing in front of the class) and ask himself whether the one described had the characteristics of a man, rather than a nation. He said, "I think you are right." He then went on with lesson. (Not out of spite) Now many Jewish people are reading Isaiah 53. Thank you James Tour.
Thank God for giving the world this man. Amen
One of the most profound Christian Men in his love for Christ & the Holy Word of God. Dr James Tour comes as a very accomplished world scientist, but humbly talks about Jesus in a way that helps any listening person receive Him as Lord & Saviour, the most important transaction in this life!
@ابو الروض He is a Jewish man who understnds that Jesus or Yeshua is his Messiah .
the man is not humble at all.
You prolly dont care but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@@Meoooo575 He's a Jew who acknowledges Jesus is the messiah.
I believe so too
I cry every time I watch his testimony on "One for Israel". Really beautiful.
Agreed, especially when his mother gets saved.
God bless our Jewish Brethren
remarkable testimony of Born Again Real Jew!
I would love to meet you James Tour. Thank you
I love Dr. Tour. What a man of God he is. He's been a real blessing to me. I share him all the time on social media to show "logical, science minded" nonbelievers that "not so fast.... you're only hearing the atheist side of science.... there are brilliant scientists who believe!"
There is no "atheist side of science" just as there is no left-handed view of economics. Tour is a religious zealot whose academic work has nothing to do with the origin of life or its evolution.
Thanks and praises be to the Lord my God Jesus Christ.
What a speech! I'm stunned. This was really penetrating. Thank you and God bless you.
How great is the Lord!
This guy is so humble and speak of our Lord Jesus with so much love, from the heart.
I love Dr. Tour's passion for sharing the gospel here!
No amount of passion makes anything true.
Dr. Tour would make a great pastor !
When a man of science comes to the lord one has to pay attention, a jew to boot. Dr. Tour speaks the truth, his comment about coming to the lord is true of me and my conversion, I never read the bible and then one day I was told my a believer to read Matthew every day for 30 days and that will transform me in such a way that they holy spirit would enter and it happens. YOu cannot intellectualize yourself to faith, it is a heart thing and not of the mind. I watch all the atheist, Bennett, Hitchens, Harris, and others and in listening to these brilliant men I see one difference, their heard is cold and that blocks their mind from acceptance.
Exactly.
Science is about facts and Christianity is about emotions that’s why accomplished scientists who believe in God are so rare.
A brilliant man and powerful defender of the Faith.
Defending belief without evidence aka faith aka gullibility, is not an undertaking that deserves respect.
@@derhafi
This man has done his Research. He has much evidence to backup his claims
@@frankieparton5122 This man is a liar, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
He literally thinks Adam and eve is an alternative to natural causes for the ool.
Just because he tells you that your faith is justified doesn't mean he has anything to show for.
@@derhafi what is his motivation for lying ? YOU ARE THE LIAR
@@AZJCiLOA His motivation for lying? His conflict between his religious beliefs and reality. He chose faith, and he chose to lie about science to protect his delusional convictions, which after all, have no demonstrable correaltion with reality and no scientific merit whatsoever.
“Based upon my faith in the biblical text, I do believe (yes, faith and belief go beyond scientific evidence for this scientist) that God created the heavens and the earth and all that dwell therein, including a man named Adam and a woman named Eve.” James Tour - Layman’s Reflections on Evolution and Creation. An Insider’s View of the Academy
Want to watch him lie live on stage: th-cam.com/video/zU7Lww-sBPg/w-d-xo.html 45:27 "Those are not sugars..He is lying to you" Well, those are sugars. 46:11 "That's not a nucleotide; it's the wrong structure...." Well, that is a nucleotide with the right structure. Tour knows this. He also knows that YOU, his audience, don’t know or don’t care about the truth...he is a liar.
His modus operandi is the constant suggestion that, criticising naturalistic explanations, adds credibility to the idea that this one God, he happens to believe in exists. This is an epistemological dumpster fire and he knows it. He is avoiding the burden of prove by not clearly stating what he thinks: ”God did it”; he is however more honest about his convictions in his written statements which clearly highlight his bias and lack of scientific integrity.
Exept when he is preachghing to his flock, that's when his true colours show: “The word of God is true. *Every word in this book is true, every word,*. Let everything else be a lie, this book is true! This book is true, this was a prophecy and it’s just piled upon fact upon fact, evidence upon evidence. How much more would you like to understand that this book is true? To bow before God and say: Lord thank you for your work…every word in the Bible is true!” James Tour - at a “lecture” Huston first Baptist church 2019 (th-cam.com/video/3DlWkDkNLQo/w-d-xo.html)
Tour rests his world view with the idea that the Bible is completely reliable, as a literal reading. He believes in miracles ..... and every point he raises in his 13 part rant about Abiogenesis, falls in one of the three following categories:
- A misrepresentation by quote mining, confirmed by the researchers who got treated in this dishonest manner by Tour
-Irrelevant to the subject
-A blunt lie.
You can see his rant point by point dismantled here: th-cam.com/video/ghJGnMwRHCs/w-d-xo.html During this 2.5 hours absolutely every single talking point of his are deconstructed in a strictly scientific context and the attached links to the papers that confirm each and every point Farina makes.
Should you dear Tour fanboy ever dare to watch this, you also are treated with interviews with the mentioned, actual experts in the field, they all agree that Tour is a fraud and deliberately misleading in his presentation. It links to the data he lies about, as well as to the data he ignores, to pretend that it’s all about science instead of God.
PREACH! Yes, grateful to hear this message! And you shouldn't wonder why this man is gifted of God...Mr Tour is a walking man of God, not just talking. God bless his ministry and his family! Hallelujah Amen! Thank you Houston First for this message! Glory to God! Amen!
...and may God bless all who watch and listen to this message! Amen! And I couldn't agree more, READ YOUR BIBLES folks, to be in relationship with Christ, its reciprocal...and by reading Him, you learn of Him...Amen!❤🙏✌🏼
My favorite scientist pretty much.
Mine is John Lennox but much respect for Dr Tour.
@@curiousgeorge555 John L is a mathematician if I'm not mistaken and to be quite honest, while myself a traditional Catholic, I find he makes too much use of theology in his debates, i.e. with atheists first you have to argue using science to show them that the old wisdom of apes becoming human or origin of life BS is
a) false wisdom and
b) bad science.
Dr. Tour we love u, keepup yur good work.
Thank God for choosing Dr. James Tour.
@Question Everyfing How about Dave’s challenge for Tour to publish his “work” in a scientific journal and submit it to the peer-review process. As in doing science, the stuff he normally does when he is not out sermonising. He knows that’s how it’s done, given that he brags about his 700 published papers at any chance. So, why does he do the rounds on Christian radio shows and his YT channel instead? After all he thinks he good the goods on decades worth of research. He acts as if figured out something that those thousands of scientists who, other than him, actually work in this field, from all over the world, with different cultural backgrounds and religions could not manage.
Tour got a bit of a problem on his hand. Tour’s so called alternative to natural causes is based on the existence and interference of some ill-defined metaphysical substance/ entity/ force/intelligence/power/ supernatural whatever, not subject to the known laws of physics, that supposingly interacts with the fabric of our reality in ways that have thus far eluded every controlled experiment ever performed in the history of science. In other words, Tours supposed alternative is fictional.
This is the first time I've heard of this scientist & lover of jesus christ, I'm captivated by his profound & genuine love for God ...I truly would like to meet this man of God 🙏💯💯
He's a liar and a fraud who pretends to know what he cannot know.
A true _Xtian_ wouldn't do that.
@Question Everyfing no , haven't met him, probably will not for where I live .... in the Caribbean islands
I introduced my Baptist pastor to you, Dr. Tour.
God bless you professor Tour, for the wonderful message.
Love this Jewish professor and his passion for our Lord🙏❤️
Bless the Lord Jesus for this beautifully shared testimony of Dr. Tour! Thank you! Blessings for you and your work.
I cried whenever I read this chapter and any other which describe the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It's a reality that the only man who will have nail prints in His hands, feet and wound in His side and He will be our brother and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that the blindness of God's chosen people will be lifted.
God blesses this man and his family. I was uplifted
God love you Dr. Tour....It's great being able to bring you up in conversation as the greatest authority concerning abiogenesis…..but even more hearing you speak….Thank you so much.
@@TheKrautKontrol Well if "Profesor" Dave is right, why he is afraid/dont want to take a debate? If he is right everyone will see this. Saying that no because Dr James Tour will set up Debate for himself is not an explanation. Why? Because if he will indeed "set up" a debate then everyone will see this on live. Debate is part of scientific investigation, if you deny it you are no different from religious fanatic...
Please let’s all pray for Dr. James.
Glory to God.
Amazing man who saw the love of God threw the lord JESUS and was willing to be shunned by his jewish brethren and mocked by his fellow scientists, he is a scientist of unbelievable talent and love for his fellow man and the gospel
God is good and so faithful. Jesus is my savior, my king, my father, my teacher, my everything! I've been seeking a stronger relationship with him and every day I'm finding exactly what I need to fight this spiritual war. My father will have every person he calls on!
But Muhammad is the last messenger of God . Jesus was the second last . Before Muhammad , path of Jesus was the right path . But after Muhammad , the right path is Muhammad's path ( Islam ) . Research about the Quran ( the last holy book from God ) .
@@nazmussaqib410 Muhammad is dead and buried. Jesus is alive and sitting at the right hand of His Father. Jesus existed before everything. He created all that exists. Christianity began with Jesus's ministry in 33 A.D. Mohammed was not even born then. Read the book of Genesis and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
I can only say wow.This message brakes the coldest soul.This message is the way we the Jews understand.At least me.thank you sp much.
I just discovered Dr. Tour. Praise God for the ministry of this man!
Dr.James Tour Man of God. Thank you....
Thanks so much, Dr. James Tour, for this very descriptive message on what Jesus Christ endured on the Cross for us and our sin. How can we, as Christians, ever be the same again when we consider so much suffering took place on our behalf?
God bless your wonderful ministry!
Greetings from N Ireland and Shalom!
This is lovely...I am sending this to someone put on my heart that I have tried to witness to....maybe this was put in my path to send to her. Love to you Dr. Tour. And MARANATHA YESHUA HAMASHIACH!
I love that fervor Very touching
Amen and Amen. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah
Dr. James tour you are truth servant of GOD, your message has change my life. Thank you so much.
Powerful Sermon Dr. James Tour.This the first time I heard this sermon from you.Thank you very much for inspiring me.will share with believers and non believers.lots of love.
This man is inspired by God Hallelujah
God bless you. Yahshua is God of Old tastement
When you run out of hope, you run into faith.
Where faith is found Hope begins.
It's our Hope was in this life only we would be men most miserable
When we deny him he denies us. when we have no faith......
He remains faithful, he cannot deny Himself.
I love the Lord
34:20 struck me by its truth. Dr. Tour’s words make me think The Spirit of Truth is given to every man and woman, like a woman who discovers she is pregnant. They must only choose to be open to that life and let it grow. Yet too many are afraid, and choose not to.
Minute 2:41 in this speech is clearly reinforced in Isaiah 55: 10-11 . The study of the Old Testament is important in fully understanding the New Testament.
When Christ answered "it is written," to every Temptation He faced from Satan that is the key to Who He really is. He is the Old Testament come to life in the Flesh and nothing can change the pure Righteousness of this Sinless man who died for us.
What a beautiful and powerful message. Thanks for sharing it. God bless you!
MOST AMAZING TRUE CHRISTIAN PASTOR/BROTHER FRIEND I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE......ABSOLUTELY A MOST SPECTACULAR SWEET AROMA BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD...
oh my.....thus is Jesus's good honest guile-less....perfect witness
of Gods entire Holy Word
both Jewish Bible and Chriatian bible....because this servant is sweet and greatly loved before
Yahweh...Yahweh has given brother Tour...great knowledge..truth..wisdom and agility in truth and debate...
oh my word...far exceeding the triple doctorates of religious study peoples...the pompous Christian pastor fart scholars....(sitting in their library..reading and writing commentary of this and that...but not having a vibrant caring love of God and humanity as pastor Tour)
also the Jewish Rabbi triple Hebrew study doctorate people
just sitting in libraries..examining old texts and writing comnentary for their monthly pay check...reciting every old testament word perfect...but not having any idea its meaning...almost a cartoon scenario....the Catholic Scolar and the Jewish Scholar...who dont have a vibrant love for the living loving Yahweh and his setvant...
both just flat 2 dimensional ..newspaper Cartoon characters...and Jesus be the 3 dimensional ......alive and real!!
The Catholics....doing the magic beads and peek a boo closet ... confessions..the Jews doing the wailing wall "chicken head bobbing dance"........everyone I ever met
(including mostly myself) has been a cartoon or charicture...
Only God and Jesus and brother Tour....are the real deal
(on EVERY DOCTORATE AND NON DOCTORATE LEVEL SUBJECT)
MOST OF ALL...PASTOR TOUR CARES FOR US...
LOVE YOU MY NEW BROTHER

God bless you, James Tour!
Thank you for the badly needed word. I needed to hear this, having wandered too far from God.
Tour is full of shit. Walking away from atavistic superstition is not a bad thing.
@@derhafi He really bugs you, doesn't he, Rob?
@@jeannie1renee2 Telling lies and misrepresenting the work of thosands of peole to promote ones superstition, whilst pretending to motivated by an scientific urge to tell the truth...just does not sit well with me....I have this thing called being allergic to BS. Yes he bugs me. I Don’t know what is worse, that he thinks audience is so gullible and simple minded that he can get away with this , or that he is right in thinking so.
James you're my second favorite Jew!
Because he lies about science, in an attemt to add credibility to your favourite Jew?
@@derhafi I am Chinese. What happened in Genesis and the resurrection were engraved in Chinese words. I like to share with you my story. I am originally from China and immigrated to Canada with my wife Jenny and son Kevin on June 30, 2003. I didn't know Jesus until June 26, 2004. During those years I was a self-centered man without any religious belief. As a result, I did whatever I saw fit according my own standards.
After I came to Canada, I had the opportunity to attend Christian church and read Holy Bible myself. Soon I realized I was a sinner and was ever on the way to everlasting punishment in hell. According to Romans Chapter 3 Verse 23, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Hebrews Chapter 9 Verse 27: Just a man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment. Romans Chapter 6 Verse 23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. John Chapter 3 Verse 16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. At 1:00 pm on June 26, 2014, I came to know Jesus by confessing my sins before Him and accepting Him as my personal Lord and Savoir. I was born again as a new creation. That was the happiest day in my life. I will never forget it. Thank the Lord, ever since I have real peace, rest and eternal life. I do things according to the commandments of God: Love God and love all people. My purpose in life has become: Live for Jesus and Glorify Him.
In summary, Jesus is God incarnate. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world about 2000 years ago (Good Friday). God raised Him from the dead three days after He was crucified. Christmas was created to celebrate His birth. Easter was created to celebrate His resurrection, and He will come again to judge the world and bring to Heaven those who believe in Him. His second coming means the end of the world. Jesus loves you and Bible tells so. He has the best solution to all your problems. I suggest you make a decision to know Him by reading Bible starting from the first three chapters of Genesis, Psalm 139, Gospel Book of Luke in New Testament, then Gospel Book of John, the last three chapters of Revelation, Ecclesiastes, Romans, and visiting a near-by Christian church at your earliest convenience. If you so choose, you can pray to Jesus directly and ask Him to show you that He is a true and living God. I will pray for you for your salvation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

@@williamwei9524 William, I’m glad that you found a way to be a person you like better with the help of your faith.
However, I’m interested in the truth and vague verses in some ancient book, full of claim with no demonstrable correlation with reality, are simply not a reliable way to find any truth at all.
The entire concept of “sin” and the idea of “hell” is just atavistic nonsense. And this “I came to know Jesus by confessing my sins before Him and accepting Him as my personal Lord and Savoir. I was born again as a new creation.” Is a level of delusion that I find quite worrisome. But since it seems to help you and this was the “happiest day in my life” knock yourself out.
“since I have real peace, rest and eternal life.” Sure.
“Jesus died for the sins of the whole world about 2000 years ago” Aha. Bases on what..the Bible? A cobbled-together anthology of disjointed documents, composed, revised, translated, distorted and 'improved' by hundreds of anonymous authors, editors and copyists, unknown to us and mostly unknown to each other, spanning nine centuries. Good luck.
“His second coming means the end of the world” And you think this is a good thing? You just diagnosed positive for death cult. I have no more questions.
@@derhafi Please make time to watch this video. th-cam.com/video/Av3GycE9rms/w-d-xo.html
@@williamwei9524 No science confirms the supernatural claims of the bible. Stop being so gullible. At least call it faith, be honest....and make your peace with the fact that this myth provide comfort. That's ok.
Don't try to drag science into this superstitious atavistic nonsense. It can't be done honestly, only be misrepresenting, lying and redefining scientific terms.
Believe whatever you want, there is no need for lies( besides the ones your Bible holds)
I wish I had a fraction of his intelligence but I share the same passion for God and Christ. The miracles that happened in my life over and over are not a coincidence I don’t just believe there’s a God I know with every fiber of my being there is one! God Bless this man, so incredibly intelligent and humble 🙏❤️
Follow the Science... right to the source of Life!
Many people are unaware that the 2000 years ago, in Jewish culture, forgiveness of sins was achieved by sacrificing an actual lamb. The lamb was not discarded after that, but was cooked and shared with the tribe. Jesus is that lamb and is shared with anyone who wants to receive him. Plus can’t get anymore symbolic than on Passover. Also Isiah 7.14 prophesied his birth, not that Mary was a virgin, but that she was an (almah)young woman. 💕
Wow … love this guy!!!! Will hug him in heaven and give glory to JESUS THE MESSIAH
It has to happen but denying it has happened is the greatest stumbling block for God's intent for all mankind.
I’m not guilty of disbelief.
I’m worse. I’m guilty of taking ADVANTAGE of His death.
Can I be forgiven for THAT?!
The Lord says He is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and cleanse us from
All unrighteousness!!
Yes
Yes absolutely 🙏
Jesus' gift is FREE for everyone. For you, me and for ALL. It is not "taking advantage" of His death in a negative manner. You can take advantage in it a positive manner just like receiving a gift from someone who's giving it to you on your birthday or on Christmas. Just receive!
I keep hoping James Tour will & does believe in God Almighty Sanctified day #7 b4 sin entered the world! We ALL are to keep ALL 10 of HIS Commandments!!!
He is a great man
I love Jesus, and Dr. Tour has taught me to love him in an even deeper way🙏❤️
People should all read the book of Isaiah from one of those books of the Tanakh (the whole Old Testament) that has the Hebrew and English side-by-side which is translated by Jewish, not Christian, translators
It is even more incredible and to me sounds more like Jesus (if you look, three people are speaking through Isaiah and one is himself but the other two are called Lord) and seems to refer to Jesus even more
This dude is fucking amazing. I'm not religious but this dude inspires.
When I was depressed about my own appearance, the only place I found solace and comfort was the reminder that came from that passage found in the hymn "oh, God the Eternal Father"( www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/hymns/o-god-the-eternal-father?lang=eng ) that said, "There was no beauty that man should him desire." I still smile whenever I sing that. But, then wondered at a wax museum where there was a depiction of the last supper and I jokingly told my friends how on earth would they even know what anyone looked like? And the little verbal explanation of the exhibit said it was taken from the words of Josephus, I believe,that Jesus was about 6 feet tall, remarkably tall for his circumstances. i always wondered about that. I guess I just believe a prophet over a historian every time.
"I guess I just believe a prophet over a historian every time" I guess then you are not actally interested in the truth of this stories...their suernatural claims in particular.
@@derhafi you brought up an interesting point, one I had not thought of and likely would not had without your perspective...thank you for sharing it.
Maybe, I should rephrase it:
Almost anyone can be a historian. When the truth is hard to trust...I will turn to witness I trust. That tends to be prophets.
@@melissahdawn You are welcome.
If you find any unambiguously demonstrable correaltion between anything supernatural (including any God ever) and reality, let me know.
Thanks for taking me to that hymn. I love love love Reverently and Meekly Now. It is written in first person- so powerful. The words are so personal and beautiful.

Why do some people get persecuted and thrown out of the science world and some people don't? Could it be the extent to which they are willing to stand up for God beyond the church pulpit?
"Why do some people get persecuted and thrown out of the science world and some people don't?" Bcause some poele have scientific integrety, others like Tour do not. He, BTW is neither persecuted not "thrown out" of anything. He just gets rughtly laughed at for his deeply unscientific alternatives for naturalistic explantions he brings forward, with not a trace of evidence to support them.
I feel like at some points he has the John Piper Moment where he was being very serious and the audience laughed, because they just to get how serious it is.
I like James Tour, but he screwed up badly when he apologized to that ass** for calling him what he was - a bald-faced LIAR! Instead of folding like a house of cards he should've challenged the guy TO PROVE he wasn't lying through his teeth. Instead, he did EXACTLY what the Superstar of Stupidity's lawyer was banking on - folding like a first-time gambler on the first bluff in his career. He could've, no should've, forced the guy to prove he wasn't lying, and when he didn't (which is a fact), Tour could've forced him to take it down, and then touted it all over the freaking web. Damn! Jimmy, you should've rubbed his nose in it, and scored one for us BIG TIME at the same time!!!
Jesus, I am resting, resting,
In the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee,
And Thy beauty fills my soul,
For by Thy transforming power,
Thou hast made me whole.
Refrain:
Jesus, I am resting, resting,
In the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart.
Oh, how great Thy loving kindness,
Vaster, broader than the sea!
Oh, how marvelous Thy goodness,
Lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved,
Know what wealth of grace is Thine,
Know Thy certainty of promise,
And have made it mine.
Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold Thee as Thou art,
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless,
Satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings,
Meets, supplies its every need,
Compasseth me round with blessings:
Thine is love indeed!
Ever lift Thy face upon me
As I work and wait for Thee;
Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth’s dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father’s glory,
Sunshine of my Father’s face,
Keep me ever trusting, resting,
Fill me with Thy grace.
Who wrote this ? It is amazing 😮❤
Amen.
Dr Tour, I often wonder if the act of memory would help to explain what we don't know scientifically.
Following on from a Christian point of view. Could it be possible for our cell's to have a memory of the presence of God as they were created.
How'd you like after going through Isiah whether Messiah must be one only Cyrus who'll deliver in the end...
This guy (Dr. James Tour)
is one of the few Christians.
He is a believer.
You may see yourself as a short, not so attractive Jew. To me you are 10 feet tall and as beautiful a human being as God has ever allowed me to experience.
Judas had to kiss our LORD because no one recognized Him.
You non believers out there,just look how everything is fined tuned for you,it balances on a knife edge. The cosmological constant is fine tuned to 1 part 10 to 120 So i dont think its possible that luck finely tuned it 120 decimal places and thats just one They are so many more.
I'm not sure Christ would've had "crooked teeth", as he wasn't tainted with our sin and sicknesses. He was without blemish. His sickness was vicariously taken for us, not through his own d.n.a.
Perhaps without blemish meaning without sin
He was sinless
But as for physical appearance perhaps he was perfect or maybe not
Either way He’s the greatest person to ever step foot on this earth
Yes .but what caused his greif .please save my children he didnt raise pappa .
Wow. I JUST read the line of Jesus went through Nathan, not Solomon, reading Luke 3 last night. Been a Christian for 30+ years and received this previously-unknown fact TWICE in one day.

Pray pry jews in America many nees to come to Jesus .I work for then,they very nice kind, but need Jesus please help to pray for then.
Any agnostics/non - Christians on over here?
Dr.Tour, though you are a great scientist that you begin to define life, you must study these coded message in the Bible as a scientist not a preacher.
Jesus was slandered by Pharisees and false witnesses and abandoned by many followers.
He was falsely identified : John 1:10;Ps.22:7; Mt.26;67,68; John 6:66; 1Peter 2:4;
His face is not that of a baby or that of a tortured victim.
His true face is hidden from us.
(Zech.11:13; John18:39,40; Acts 3:13,14; Acts 4:11)
Is he a calvinist?
No
Dr Tour is a Messianic Jew.
Jesus is Lord
motivates me to not be so fearful about being a christian in this terrible trauma inducing world

Watch Professor Dave shred Dr. Tour's views on Origin of Life here: th-cam.com/video/ghJGnMwRHCs/w-d-xo.html
Nothing can be said for sure about JESUS' APPEARANCE during his lifetime, according to the Bible. (The Shroud of Turin tells us something about Jesus. If it is a shroud of Jesus; I think it is His shroud.)
Isaiah 53 tells of the suffering Servant (on the cross), and verse 2 is also related to THIS.
Isaiah 53:2-3
“He had no dignity or beauty to make us notice of him. There was no attractive about him, nothing that would draw us to him. We despised him and rejected him; he indured suffering and pain. No one would even look at him - we ignored him as if he was nothing." This can also be interpreted as the fact that most of the Jewish leaders and people did not hold Jesus in any value, so nothing “beautiful” in Him.
The New Testament says nothing about Jesus' appearance, so even less can be said about His TEETH!
This is absurd! No evidence whatsoever.
There are some mentions of Jesus in the Talmud, but they are generally dismissive and at least partly unreliable. English is not my first language, so it's a lot of work to look up those Talmudic passages. But for those with fluent English can check what has been written in Talmud about Jesus.
Everyone can read about the Shroud of Turin and of another piece of cloth named The Sudarium of Oviedo.

The Shroud of Turin is not a dogma of the Catholic Church, so you can believe in its authenticity or not.
Signs and wonders are for those who doubt or do not yet believe. We live by faith (certainly), but God is so good that He speaks in many ways… May His Name be blessed forever!

The one of the most anointed speakers I've ever heard a true man of God
I've seen Our Lord Jesus a few times. He looks jewish, very handsome in a jewish sort of way. You know His nose is there, but I could not focus on it. His eyes are captivating. (full stop) His beard, coal black, His eyes flames of fire. His skin rich with melanin.
"He was beaten more than any man..." (3:40) Incorrect.
It is self-evident that many others have had their faces and bodies far more battered than Jesus. Do you not know that Jesus did not die of a physical broken body, but of a Spiritual broken heart; cut off from the Father - for our sins, which brought Him down to hell - in the experience of eternal separation from God?
No man has ever suffered as much Spiritual beating as Jesus, and no man ever will. Was not Jesus the Divine human Who suffered the "Divine" wrath?
Brook DesHarnais he was talking about the Roman scourge
Practice your religion freely Tour and let those who pursue a science based explanation practice theirs.
James Tour is an excellent storyteller. But so long as he is not an Old Testament scholar, in an academic sense, then I would be more trusting of OT interpretation from somebody who is.
God's Word speaks to the heart. Anyone can read (or listen to) God's Word and be touched by God. Dr. Tour was predominately just quoting from God's Word. God is a communicator. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1
We are made in God's image the Bible says. We use words to convey thoughts. Maybe the biggest difference between us and the animal kingdom. God is the Word. He conveys thoughts. We convey thoughts to each other and act on them. Dr. Tour used a good illustration in another video. I will expand on it slightly. We say to a friend "go down the block turn left and go another 3 blocks and stop at John's Convenience store and bring us both a chocolate ice cream cone. I'll reimburse you when you get back." Animals cannot do that. Only human beings and Angels can.
I don't know you George. Maybe you are a believer in Jesus. Maybe not. Just read over the same Words that DR. Tour expounds on here. Isaiah 52:13 and then through the entire 12 verses of Isaiah 53. Just 15 verses in all. Then come back and tell us what you think. Look at Dr. Tour's academic credentials above. Fairly bright fellow. But not necessary to understand God's Words.
I too am a Jewish believer. God opened my eyes to the Messiah Jesus 46 years ago. About 13 years after I had been Bar Mitzvah. I have never met or spoken with Dr. Tour. But I have known several Evangelical pastors and have been around several Biblical scholars. The Christian ones will all agree with Dr. Tour I am sure.
The Orthodox Jewish scholars will say that these verses refer to the dispersed Jews who were despised by Gentiles around the world. But someday, the Gentiles will realize what they have done to my innocent fellow Jews. Well, scripture says that Israel was thrown out of the land twice. First by the Babylonians. And scripture is very clear that Israel was cast out for their SIN. And the second time they were cast out for their SIN by God allowing the Roman armies to do that (as God says again) their casting out again was also for their SIN.
The one spoken of in isaiah 53 had done no wrong. (Isaiah 53:9,11). Can't be Israel. So what can you disagree with here about Dr. Tour's expounding of those 15 verses. Please respond. Yes, check some scholars. tell us what Dr. Tour missed. I don't think you can come up with anything material that disagrees with God's Words (those 15 verses here in Isaiah) as expounded by Dr. Tour. Let us know what the "scholars" say. Please.
@@Truthseekersws Oh, bullshit.
There are world-class scholars who know how to read the original scrolls, in their ancient languages; and those are the scholars whom you trust to write the English version that you read.
I would rather listen to any lecturer, having that higher level of expertise.
James Tour never earned a PhD in OT or NT bible research. So why should I listen to James Tour, when I can listen to somebody who has?
James Tour is limited to delivering a message of Christian apologetics. And I don't need that because a Google search for "Christian apologetics" will give me the same content that James Tour says.
Christian apologetics is an old, tiresome, repetitive defense of Christianity, that we have all heard a thousand times.
Just thought of this, George, to help you get the views of a couple of Old testament scholars. I watched this TH-cam video of this debate some years ago. Here are a couple of Old Testament scholars debating about Isaiah 53. One is a Christian: Walter C. Kaiser Jr. is an American evangelical Old Testament scholar, writer, public speaker, and educator. Kaiser is the Colman M. Mockler distinguished Professor of Old Testament and former President of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts.
And the other is an Orthodox Jewish Scholar: Pinchas LaPide: th-cam.com/video/xUhaK-R1JLg/w-d-xo.html
@@Truthseekersws You have a surplus of free time. I am not going to read all that, or watch any TH-cam video that you recommend. I don't even know you.
what a pharisee, if it’s not a “scholar” then you won’t listen. such a shame you reject His Word
Whoa there. Back up a bit. The crucified man's image on the Shroud of Turin is, 5 feet 11. Christ, Like King Saul was indeed head and shoulders above other Jews.
@Paul F, what evidence do you have that the shroud of Turin even belongs to Yeshua haMashiach/Jesus Christ? The catholics have enough wooden material to load a few tractor-trailer trucks and they claim that those are pieces of the cross on which Christ was crucified. There are also claims about the spear which pierced his side called “the spear of destiny” and the cup he drank out of at the last supper called “the chalice” ( a fancy cup made out of gold). I don’t have the time and energy to waste in believing this kind of nonsense, but I’ll believe the words written in the Bible to the very last one !!! If the Bible points out in Isaiah 53 that Yeashua of Nazareth, the Mashiach had nothing attractive about his appearance, then that’s what I believe regardless of what claims are made by those who examined some shroud they found somewhere !
@@hereintranzit who else could be the man on the shroud? It's one of a kind, can't be reproduced, no one can explain what caused it except that it was a burst of radiation that scorched the very tips of the linen fibers. The abundance of evidence points to the burial shroud of Jesus.
Note also, a strong case can be made showing historically artists using the shroud as their model for painting how Jesus looked.
Just because the catholics commandeered it can't take away its authenticity.
@Paul F, The Shroud of Turin has not been proven to be authentic. It may or may not be authentic. The Scriptures are authentic. Count on what they say about Jesus.
What if it isn’t?
