Perhaps the pain and suffering in our world, is just an opportunity for us to behave as Christians : comforting and protecting the unfortunate ??? Christianity is not a title nor a just a belief … it is how a human being chooses to live. May you be blessed 🙏🏼 … and May you avail yourselves to bless others 🙏🏼💕
It's nice to know that those who watch this and similar discussions will discover support for their faith. The sad part is the vast number of non-believers who deliberately dismiss such exposure... (Two years since this was posted with less than 1000 views and fewer than 50 comments.)
I could never limit myself to just Christianity. There is so much more in the world and beyond to live for and make yourself better. Christianity is limiting and made up after Christ who was an apocalyptic Jew with good intentions. If you don't believe me just travel and experience all the wonderful ideas, faiths, inspirations of all human culture. And remember you are born into your religion, conditioned usually to worship something you don't really want, you didn't pick your path. But you can change it. Peace.
An uplifting conversation. The writings by the man we call Luke, Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, should be read carefully by any sceptic before coming to any conclusion about the truth of the Christian faith.
I don't want to live separate from God forever. That is a more unbearable thought than any suffering on earth. The older I get, the more I find myself yearning for God. The fact that the ether, where He placed me, is designed to kill me either... 1) through natural causes... or 2) through evolutionary causes... or 3) at the hands of another living thing... is hope in something greater than just this ether. God made this ether that we live in with a great purpose... to kill me one day. To put an end to my finite being. Halleluiah.
don't worry, there's no god to be separated from. why are yuou do eager to get into this imaginary afterlife? this earth not good enough for you? god created it after all. tell me, how come we're curing disease? how come we can undo the effect of the fall while god can only cure one cancer patient at a time? want a list of the diseases we;ve cured? it's quite long...
I have so much respect for Mr. Lennox-as a man, as a Christian and as a scientist. Conversely, I have little respect for most other scientists, and absolutely none at all for poseurs like the insufferable egomaniacs Stephen Hawking and Richard Dawkins.
Here in El Salvador the ‘tracts’ of John’s gospel used to be the tool of the missionaries. I wondered why the deepest and most philosophical of the gospels would reach a plumber or an electrician or a drug addict living on the street. It should be appealing to an intellectual but it also seems to reach the common man.

So I wouldn't want to waste any time on that person, because they aren't really listening.
i saw the local vicar doing his rounds. i said don't worry your worship, at the moment you need pitchforks to get em in the pews, give it five years, you will need a pitchfork to get em out.
talking od pews, check out the statistics, church attendance has been dropping years after year (pew polls, gallup) and it's cos of old geezers like lennox, you may love him but your kids think he's a tired olg git with nothing new to add - and they are right.

Son of God had to be lifted up- suspended between heaven and earth- for the Son of Man had to be crucified! Jesus even predicted this in John 8! Isaiah 52;13-53;12 tells of his hands/feet being pierced and resulting ultimately in His death- the just for the unjust! 2 Cor 5:21!
Mr Lennox is a gentleman. But an infinitely loving and powerful God would have no need to allow suffering... Nor assign any creature to burn forever.. And still find a way that still allowed for free will. Original Sin is a horrible concept.. Hell is even worse.. What about animal suffering? Even if we can do argumentative contortions to talk away the human suffering issue, it begs the question why an animal needs to die an agonising death being stuck under a fallen tree for example...
If you believe in the ensoulment of animals there is no need to argue from the suffering of animals for it is covered quite well under a general answer to the problem of evil. Now as for the problem of evil one theodicy is that of soul building and if one doesn't prefer that might I suggest Molinisms answer to the problem of evil or even it's metaphysical necessity for a creature who is free? As for Original Sin. I see no reason it should be considered evil or wrong. It explains much of Man's behavior and is posited on most nontheistic world views too. These are just a layman's case for these things. I know of many resources concerning these very topics from men much more intelligent than I if you're interested.
Thank you so much gentlemen. "Tracing the rainbow through the rain."
Mr. Lennox, you just have a way of putting me in a good mood. I really enjoy listening to you.
he has a lovely voice doesn't he, it almost makes up for the rubbish he talks. almost.
May God bless them both.🙏
👍 huge fan of Mr.Lennox

why?
Family can make a difference in living and simply existing. Rejection is existing especially when one doesn't understand. Weeping with Jesus.
Thank you so much for explaining things in such a way that I understand my faith more. Thank you John.
This is an excellent interview! Thanks very much for sharing.

Just listening to John Lennox talk seems to strengthen my faith. Is this a bad thing ...?
It's a very good thing 😊
Amazing talk. Thank you!

Yes
This video should have a lot more views. Good stuff right here. Thank you for this

John Lennox🔥🔥

he's a crummy scientist.

Evil is not an intellectual issue at all, what do you mean we will never solve it? I did, years ago.
Can you elaborate a bit, please.
@@dionel8 depends, do you live in an objective or a subjective universe?

It’s very simple! Evil is generated by sin and our free will, not God!
Sin is the perversion of God’s good gift of free will.
How can I cast the. Love I feel
it's interesting that comments are turned off on most of lennox videos, almost as if you don't want the old fella criticised.

What a load of absolute piffle.
What a lot of nonsense. I think I'll stick with Dawkins' writings.
