I just want you to know that your channel and specifically this video may have just led to me getting saved. I’ve had a lot of personal revelations happen over the past year or two. It’s way too long to type, but I eventually ended up here watching your videos for the past month. This video just rocked me. Haha
Glory Be To God!! He loves you so much ❤️
Romans 10:9 - "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you WILL be saved."
Godhead
The first article of faith of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints states, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.” These three beings make up the Godhead. They preside over this world and all other creations of our Father in Heaven. Latter-day Saints view the members of the Godhead in a manner that corresponds in a number of ways with the views of others in the Christian world, but with significant differences. Latter-day Saints pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. But where Latter-day Saints differ from other Christian religions is in their belief that God and Jesus Christ are glorified, physical beings and that each member of the Godhead is a separate being. The true doctrine of the Godhead was lost in the apostasy that followed the Savior’s mortal ministry and the deaths of His Apostles. This doctrine began to be restored when 14-year-old Joseph Smith received his First Vision (see Joseph Smith-History 1:17). From the Prophet’s account of the First Vision and from his other teachings, we know that the members of the Godhead are three separate beings. The Father and the Son have tangible bodies of flesh and bones, and the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit (see Doctrine and Covenants 130:22). Although the members of the Godhead are distinct beings with distinct roles, they are one in purpose and doctrine. They are perfectly united in bringing to pass Heavenly Father’s divine plan of salvation.
@@ГришаФэша You just ruined this reply with your demonic religion.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD .IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR FAITH PRAY READ THE WORD.EVERY DAY.FIND A CHURCH WITH PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE TO BE THE WORD OF GOD.GOD BLESS YOU.
My grandfather was a physicist who didn’t believe in God. He seemingly had a rational scientific explanation for everything. As he got older he shared with me that the more he tried to disprove the existence of God the more evident it became to him that God exists. In his final days he took solace in the fact that through his younger years of trying to disprove or explain away the devine God he actually proved his existence. Once he retired sometimes I would see him sitting for hours upon hours reading and studying the Bible when I would go visit him and my grandmother. He wanted to learn all he could about his creator. He would try to read anything he could get his hands on pertaining to Jesus Christ. His prayers were very important to him.
He was always a kind and funny person, but I noticed over the years after he found God he had this spark of life in him and he appreciated the nuances of life more. The man went to his grave baptized and a firm believer in God and his only begotten son. His life's journey had taken him home back to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All praise be to God the Almighty, through him all things are possible.
I love this ❤
I really like what you wrote, so much so that I felt obliged to say "thank you" and that it pleases me to know that you obviously have learned from your grandfather.
This is such a beautiful expression of a life lived well.
This is an amazing testimony!! Your grandfather and your family (including you) was and is very blessed, God is truly great.
My his soul rest in peace
I'm struggling with life at this moment but what keeps me going is GOD.
Amen, May God continue to give you strength and guidance. 🙏🏼
What really helped me bro is accepting that I can only control things that are within my control, and things that are outside my control, are within God’s control.
We all struggle with life at some point, what is important to remember God will only allow struggles in our lives so far, and only for a season.
Stay strong in The Lord my brother, His redemption draws near.
" the fear keeps me moving but my heart beats so slow"

I was born into a Muslim family and it was forced upon me. I never felt a connection to God. Never felt my soul being loved by God. Lost all faith in religion and adopted the mantra "do good be good" and still felt empty. I was beyond discouraged but I still believed there was a God. I believe in him because of how I got my name.
My parents went to get a pregnancy check up on me and it didnt go as planned. They wanted to run some more tests but some tests came back with news that one of three things would happen (I cant remember which one): I would be born with a hole in my heart, I would be born with scoliosis, or I would be born mentality handicapped and would need help my whole life.
Of course my parents where distraught and worried about their future child. My dad left the room to let my mom get some sleep and as she was sleeping, she heard someone call her name. She wakes up and looks around and doesnt see anyone. So she starts to relax and almost falls asleep again. She hears her name being called again. This time she shot up and was like ok maybe im just exhausted and anxious and im hallucinating because no one is here. Once again she starts to relax again and almost falls asleep and she said she heard "Amy. You will have a healthy baby boy and you will name him Jibril." This name has protected me during 9/11 because i was supposed to be named Hussein.
God has lead me to the path of salvation through suffering and even being disowned by them, he was guiding me to live according to his plan. I have never felt so spiritually, physically, and emotionally full until i accepted Jesus Christ this year. God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Then you need to research deeper into Islam because Islam is the only truth.
I think you accept islam. This religión is soo true. God is not person. He is not theory. He is Creator.
And you may search extra infos
So you changed one bias for another
May Lord Jesus be revealed to everyone who really have a quest for "the Real Truth "
@@joseebenezer9114 you sheep really believe this bs 😂🤦♂️ god is human's creation completely made up
Why do we live in a Universe where people seeking "the Fake Truth" are capable of performing "miracles" such as creating airplanes that can fly or performing heart surgery? Meanwhile those that seek for the "Real Truth" are not the ones capable of performing miracles?
"We cannot fight against anything unless we fight for something ---and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason, and a view of man as a rational being."

I was an atheist, what brought me to now be a christian is being a professional software engineer and AI researcher. I realized that humans have tried to make AI in their own image, just as God created us in his image. That our universe was created, the same as I created universes containing AI. It's the same paradigm, and unless I reveal myself to the AI, they have no idea I am here and that I crafted their universe.
I just got goosebumps reading this
Wow
Well explained
This is beautifully said❤
You're crazy as a loon!
This is what a University should be! The open and unabashed exchange of ideas! This is how we learn and grow as a Peoples!
This is religion and not science. Universities deal with science and not with beliefs and superstitions.
@@giuseppe5397 universities were started by the Catholic Church in the West. The first discoveries in science were done by religious scholars and priest. The BigBang theory was developed by a Catholic priest. Harvard was started as a seminary and religious school. Oxford too!
Your silly superstitious nonsense in no way belongs in the classroom. School is for education, not faith and fables.
@@ShirleyTimple schools in modern times is to indoctrinate children into the liberal atheist mindset. It would be better that they were taught both actual science and Faith. They aren’t incompatible. Science and faith both come from God. Just because you are angry at God and don’t want to come to terms with your sin and be judged for it shouldn’t be the basis for schools.
@@Believer1in3 If you really like the history of science, you should know that every scientist who dared to deny the dogmas of the church through science was persecuted and tortured by the holy enquiry. I'll give you an example, Galileo with the heliocentrism theory
I just love that while this is (inexplicably) a contentious subject, this room of gentlemen allowed him respectfully to say his piece without interruption. The world has overwhelmingly lost this gift.
I suppose the contentiousness is derived from people living side by sude evrry day fundementally disagreeing on how the universe came into being. Further disagreements include those of what laws should apply. I, quite honestly, aleays fail to take true believers seriously as the notion that God should have come into being spontaniously is no more likely than that the universe did. Furthermore that His principles have not stood the test of time (gender roles for example) must surely disproves his omnipitence, as he must surely have been aware those millenia ago that the world wood change. But the bible does not account for this.
Equally, you might argue this to be a point of contwntion with the church not God, to which i would reply that, if everyone is worshiping god wrong for fault of the church's misinterperetation, then even devoted christians must be doomed for hell.
Idk tho.
Your world.
@@DraikuleVanight que?
I suspect that the room privately believed in what he was saying! Why the 'c' word - Christianity - has now become unmentionable is one of the most stupidly dangerous and destructive beliefs in the modern world. As if mankind had all the answers and had no need of God. Well just take a look at the world around you and see what happens when you leave mankind in charge!
The others are waiting their turn, you should them all.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!
I also doubted a blind faith growing up but searched myself and found there only this truth. I met God on my lowest and celebrate him now even in my good days.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this🙏🏼 Be blessed throughout your journey with God😊
Jesus is the lie sent to deceive you.
Amen
People talk about "meeting God ". Interested to know, How did this happen?
I was in a middle of a miracle when I was 10, my dad was a drinker, smoker and never went to chuch, but when he listened to Kent Hovind. He later studied everything if the evolution theory is wrong, went to buy more books about evolution and creation. He gave his heart to the Lord after that. He also started to read the Bible(KJV), he always said that it is the most accurate and was written out of the dead sea scrolls. I saw a miracle again, there was a trail of fire on the mountains it grew longer, visible to the naked eye. It almost burned our houses when it came closer everyday and night. I cried and prayed because my mom did the same thing. They said on the weather news that there won't be any rain after two weeks. There was just smoke all around us. I prayed and prayed and then i felt a drop of water, the smoke became rain clouds. The trail of Fire started to extinguished, there was also one fireman helicopter in our town and it couldn't just be that for that size of fire. It rained. It was in my home country, South Africa that it happened. My dad geve up everything to believe in God, and you told me he isn't real. I saw a lot of miracles, maybe atheist never saw a miracle or blame God of something in the past. I don't want to argue so I rather pray for them than fight. I also chose a hard path like being a Conservationist yet other people like me try to prove He doesn't exist, God works in mysterious ways, I don't even understand it but I feel he saved me a bunch of times and I didn't even thanked him enough. He save everybody even my grandpa who gave is heart to the Lord and past away the week after, I know where he is now and I know where I go at least in the afterlife.
It's better to believe than not believe
I was an atheist before I hit a car with a motorcycle on September 11, 2002. There was no logical reason I am currently alive today. They called me a miracle. I went into a six week coma as one person and awoke as someone totally different. In the last 22 years I have experienced God in so many different ways. To keep this short, I will tell of the most significant experience. I had been on a long drive, and about 20 miles from home, I had a deep feeling someone else was in the truck I was driving. The feeling cannot be described using the American language as it was far too intense to do so. It was so pure and yet so raw, a love which permeated every cell of my body. I cried as one would expect, and I never wanted this drive to end. If I could bottle this feeling and just give you a small sample, there would be no such thing as an atheist. I am now a speaker on this subject and would love to share my story. If ever you wonder what heaven will feel like, I know. Give God a chance.
That is an old story told a million times.
Paul of Tarsus talked about his hallucinations in the same way on the road to Damascus.
The fact you believe there is an American language is enough to make me doubt your beliefs.
@@mrdeafa25 facts of history are not a "belief".
there are no facts here pal just beliefs and delusions. there is no god.@@maylingng4107
@@maylingng4107why be an asshole.? You're speaking to a human, with emotions. He shared his story, not to convince you, or anybody, but to share the happiness and love he felt. I can't think of any good reason to ridicule him, even if you didn't believe him, other than you're a sadistic psychopathic pos. Would you speak to your mother or child that way? It gives him joy, and has no negative affect on you, so why not let him have his moment of happiness? Why must you knock someone down the moment they rise, or seem happier, or better than you? You need to take a good long look in the mirror buddy! You must be very miserable, to get off pulling others back down.
As St Thomas Aquinas said: ‘Those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. Those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible’!
See my earlier comment - I was not aware of this quote but it is spot on. My question therefore is ‘why do so many believers, the speaker in this video included, feel the need to convince non-believers that their deity exists?’
The first part of Aquinas’ statement would imply that believers who do that measure the validity of their religion by the standards of non-believers. The fact that non-believers do not believe in a deity simply should not matter to believers. Period.
And if you think the second part of the statement is true, recurrent attempts by believers to convince non-believers to abandon their world view is even more confounding…
@@ralphhebgen7067 IT ISNT THAT I DONT BELIEVE THAT THERE VERY WELL MIGHT BE A GOD TYPE ENTITY -- BUT ALL THE CONCEPTS OF MODERN RELIGION FALL APART FOR ME WHEN I READ THE HISTORY BOOKS ABOUT TREBLINKA -- GOD HAS A PLAN ?

@@ralphhebgen7067it is not the will of God that anyone should perish but that all men should be reconciled back to Him. That is why Jesus Christ, by the end of His physical sojourn on earth, instructed that believers should go preach the gospel to the entire world. Please see Mark 16:15-16
Shalom!
@@afiblossom5590 sure, Christianity is a proselytising religion. I know. But how does Mark 16:15-16 square with the second part of Aquinas’ statement? If non-believers cannot be taught, why try?
I appreciate the spirit of wisdom in Mr. Lennox. He makes the message easy to understand and relate to while not overstepping his bounds as to dictate HOW we must relate to God.
This video captured my attention because I found out that John Lennox is Kristyn Getty’s uncle. Kristyn and her husband are phenomenal hymn writers, one of the hymns being “In Christ Alone.” Thank you, Jesus for those who are not ashamed of your gospel ❤
Really? Cool
Awesome! I didn't know this before

That's an interesting fact! You're not quite correct about the writers of "In Christ Alone" though. The music was written by Keith Getty and the lyrics by Stuart Townend. 😀
Wow I’m from Nigeria and I’ve been privileged to travel a little round the world and have interacted with so many people of earth who didn’t believe in God but hearing this from a renowned scientist God is moving and he is still in the business to heal and restore our relationship. If many others would follow this world will be saved. I’m proud of you sir
he honestly didnt prove anything
@@cheat123 certainly he did not. but I don't think science will be able to win over religion as easily as many textbooks scientists think, even though science and religion are really not at odds. science can only disprove CLAIMS of God, angels but God, God cannot be proven or disproven.
😂😂😂
@@cheat123 He doesn't need to prove anything. He doesn't owe you that. Believe whatever you want. Nobody cares. When you die, you would know the real truth. Until then, suit yourself.
For those who do not believe in God, you were just added to one of my proof that our ancestors ate that fruit of the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad, you have the "free will" and for that I thank you! You are another piece of evidence to me that there is God and don't worry we all have a chance of or for salvation. Jesus Christ came to being and resurrect. Which means he will be with us and continue showing us mercy through others means we might always ignore.
For those who do believe in God and of the same, please just continue this Civil discussion and respect each other's claim.
This is from Willy L. of the land now called the Philippines, and we behold, Child Jesus returns to this Garden where the first man, created out of soil was put to dwell. We all know on the sixth days of Creation that human being was created "male and female" right away, according to text, God or Gods mentioned "... and now we will make human beings; they will be like US and resemble US" (proof to me of all the races we have in this very planet), but our ancestors were created first then a Garden of Eden was made for them. Just sad they were disobedient as we are today.
"Agency does not compete with mechanism and law" is the sentence I've been looking for for years. Bless this man and his message.
Powerful message; and my conclusion is after a long and hard life of studying mechanism and law the inevitable conclusion is that Agency has clear intent...
You mistake 4 Billions years of Evolution for "Agency". I see no divine creation, there is only a web of interactions driving change. Our Universe could be one of infinite Universes, all different from each other, with different governing laws, some having life, some not, none of which has any requirement to have been "created". We can just as easily be an accident, and you have absolutely no proof otherwise. This man and his message have no foundational proof. Actually intelligent critical thinking people can see right through the BS.
where did he say that again exactly?

Shouldn't God end our suffering instead? Why become part of it so that it continues?
@@SimonBarsinister As long as there is free will and humans will do what they see fit in their own wisdom, there will be suffering.
@@SimonBarsinister God is the most useful being to believe in(not just merely useful but also active and intelligent) as when you merit belief through true effort (not some carrot and stick like many atheists and agnostics criticize religions for which I do as well) so for merely suffering 80-90 odd years we get maximum access to God's love, sleep, life, etc. Hence it is called "heaven" thus rendering any capacity of suffering on us to help our fellow man and woman out through God..

Pretty interesting guy....he isn't a Traditional Christian or Bible Basher..
Hes a computer Scientist and philosopher actually and his views on suffering are actually pretty interesting..
He sees the genesis account as a birth of META cognition in humans over instinct......and we are in the dimension/matrix simulation of good and evil..
And when we have the correct balance of meta cognition with instinct, THEN we will be truly "worthy"..

I don’t think you can “destroy” another’s belief by saying you believe to the contrary, in place of “I know to the contrary”.
Then you haven't listened to the points the mathematician made in the video or the video itself in general
@@eRRoR____- You have some serious reconsidering to do if you believe that Lennox presented any tough arguments for atheism.
Literally in his first argument, he paints up a false dichotomy saying that either the universe must come from nothing, or God must have created it.
The whole idea that a universe comes from "nothing" is not what science claims. Science only claims that there is a point beyond which we don't know what happened. In fact, Nothingness as a state might not even exist. We can't create a "nothing". We've never observed a "nothing."
Now, I will grant that scientists like Krauss throw the word "nothing" around rather freely, probably because it makes a catchy book title, but it is not reflecting any scientific consensus.
@@eRRoR____- I think you missed the point of this comment.
I know the contrary. And feel disgusted seeing this freak show.
@@TheHollowbastion You're right. No one can destroy another's belief, I was wrong.

i am an athiest and i have never claimed that the world created its self from nothing. The truth is, I dont how the world was created, and im oK with that.
Witch is ironic, considering the fact that Christian's believe a god spawned from nothing, then created an material world from nothing ect...
He's not talking about ever athiest. He's talking about the ones who say nothing came into existence and since we are a speck with out free will ps some say this on a big stage. Then bam here we are. I personally don't buy into the statement if someone can validate and articulate why they believe in God and then say good old " well God works in mysterious ways statement. The world believe in Hebrew was used in the same manor of. I know it is so. If I ask a carpenter if they built a house. They would say I believe so I am a carpenter. It take the person to go and understand what God is vs some fire brimes stone performer. I agree with alot of people who have a reason to avoid God and why they say so. I always sat. If God exists you come to know God doesn't agree with how they slander our creator either.
It seems that you acknowledge that the world was created, but just don't know how. So, what better explanation is there than it was created by a Creator rather than from nothing or whatever other explanation someone might have? It seems to me that it had to have been created for a reason, so I don't see any other explanation of it being created for a reason except that an All-powerful Creator decided to create the world.
Maybe you should care more. If God is not real, then what’s stopping you from following any moral laws at all? And if He is, the thought of standing before him knowing that you simply didn’t care enough to investigate the truth of why you’re here should make you quake at your core.
I am retired national intelligence analyst. I spent decades wanting to disprove these “dumb Christians”; but the more I tried to disprove Christ and God the Father, the more I got slapped in the face with the hard and steady truth. Please, don’t you dare take my word for it. Look for yourself. Really start asking questions. It’s truly *the most* important part of life here on earth that you should aim to figure out.
@@ETube1971 //So, what better explanation is there than it was created by a Creator...//. First, we need to define our terms better. What do you mean by "world"? The Universe? The Universe is defined as everything that exists, so if God exists, he would be a part of the Universe too. So, what exactly was created if God is eternal? Secondly, lets assume that God created the created part of the Universe. Ok, so what? Even Richard Dawkins admitted that a case could be made for a Deistic God, prime mover, etc... But this is a very very far cry from Christianity, Judaism, Islam and other religions based on Holy Books. Even IF the "world" has been created, that doesn't prove your Bible God did it.
I am an rx Muslim and we blieved Jesus was only a prophet but years ago Jesus appeared to me and He is the living GOD. He was all love and love for His creation is emmerse.He saved me .

Sadly true. Nothing new added in this; all of it has been said before. Calling it "evidence" is dishonest. There is nothing wrong or "bad" in this man's faith, but nothing here should ever be characterized as anything more than the expression of his personal testimony.

It was never about the "rebuttal" it was always about perspective. Instead of asking "Is there a God?", he suggest "Is it worth it to believe in a God?".
I have no idea if there is a God, but I'm 100% sure it's absolutely worth it to believe in it(Statistically speaking at least).

Whoever/whatever you believe in, its fine as long as you and everyone around you are happy in any way, shape or form. Essentially, the 10 commandments are the easiest way to create a more just and productive society.
It's not so hard to understand really, but to conclude: It doesnt matter what you believe in as long as you're a good, prudent, moral person.
I hit rock bottom when I failed out of school for chemical engineering. I went to the Marine Corps without looking back and constantly prayed to God to be with me. God put a good Christian woman in my life and I'm here 6 years later, I restarted and finished school, have a good job and taking care of my wife thanks to Jesus. I hope I have a son soon
God has a plan and mission just for you. Many Blessings on Christ.
Jesus had nothing to do with it just your hard work and living to an ideal and example that is present in your religion.
Go away dummy.@@williamnicholson8133

I'd rather have unanswered questions than have answers that can't be questioned. I instead ask first what's going to eat than eat and ask nothing.
You started out well. Rephrase your comment so that it makes sense.
yep, id rather confess i dont know something than to convince myslef i knoe
Brains are designed to continually learn forever. God's thoughts & ways are above man's. Humankind will always be learning of our Creator as we study what Christ Jesus has already made & develops. His creation is a lesson book given to us -- never to be self-absorbed & bored.
Faith has no rationality. If it had, it would be science. And that is why I am an atheist. God said that and Jesus was there, until you look for them and find thin air.
@@Panagiotis_Vlachosthe study of the Bible is called theology, and it is a science. People asked questions about the Bible and its accuracy, so it was studied to get answers. Answers found to be facts can be questioned, but that doesn’t change if they’re true or not. The Bible is a historical document that covers real events that actually happened, and it is studied as such by many Bible scholars who read the oldest found versions of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek to understand the original meaning. The Bible can be studied as a science, and it is, because people take the faith seriously. The whole “answers that can’t be questioned” thing is invalid in my opinion. If I ask the color of the sky and you say blue, I can question if it’s actually blue all day long but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s blue. Science gives us answers that can’t be questioned, like how it’s just objectively true that the circumference of a circle is 2pir. I can question that all day long but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s real. With God, what He says is true because He says it. He created the world with His words, if He said the sky is purple, it would be purple. His word can be questioned, but nothing comes of it. What He says is just what reality becomes, His promises are woven into creation. They can be questioned, as you are clearly questioning them, but you don’t gain anything. You act as though questions that can’t be answered are better, but it isn’t just black and white. That’s like saying, if you saw someone get resurrected instantly before your eyes, that “well just cause I can’t explain what happened doesn’t mean God is real. Id rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned!” Would you watch the laws of physics be broken right in front of you and still say there’s nothing supernatural and no creator? Normally you hear “well if God showed himself to me I would believe him” but you admit that you don’t know how the universe created itself from nothing, then you’ve seen his miracle with your own eyes. What’s more unbelievable, the whole world being created on its own with perfect conditions for life and conscious beings, or one man rising from the dead? The creation of the universe breaks the laws of conservation of energy and the of conservation of mass, so I’d say the universe being created is more unbelievable, but I’m sure if you saw a dead man walk you would believe in God. You see the result of a much bigger miracle every day. You are living in a bigger miracle than the one you’re looking for.
thank you for sharing!!! this really helped open my eyes to my relationship with God. I was raised Catholic but didn't know too much of anything about it. during a dark time in my spiritual journey, i was put through some trials and tribulations that made me lose all self love and hope and was ready to be gone. because of God, he saved me during my darkest and brightest days when i thought i "knew it all." humility at its finest, and i thank The Lord and all those who speak and share his lovingly, constructive Words. The Lord is always with us, and we can count on him to pep talk us into the Goodness that is divinely in us all. gotta dig deep!!!! lol. God Bless!!!
ThankYou. This is the most amazingly beautiful detailed picture of what I believe with all my heart. It be easy to be angry at God but if it weren’t for His presence in my life I would have no hope. My only 2 children have passed away. My youngest daughter was 7 when she passed away from leukemia. My oldest daughter passed away from complications of being a premie in 1967 and needing open heart surgery. My belief has promised that I will be with my Daughters again. Praise to the Lord Jesus Christ my savior.
I’ve studied physics, in particular quantum mechanics, astrophysics, astronomy and cosmology but I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I have never had a problem believing and trusting in God. My scientific knowledge and reasoning is in sync with my Christian beliefs. Thank God for Professor John Lennox who expertly argued the case for the existence and reality of God!
you have no idea what you are talking about
Show one instance when Lennox gave any evidence of his god, all he ever does is appeals to authority even the authority from history, he may as well just read out biblical scripture, after all he always says 'I believe', which is not evidence for any god.
hahaha she studied Gospel:))) not even that. a woman that is so biased by GOd cannot read not even the first line of a paragraph. Wht a lyer.

The BIGGEST LIE You've Been Told About Money is that it doesn't grow on TREES!! 😆
I agree with you!! Money actually grow on trees but only on trees that was planted by you!! These tress are referred to as investments. How you diversify your investment portfolio matters
Diversification is the key. My portfolio is well diversified with the help of a financial adviser. This helps me make more than +400% monthly on my investments.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Angela Lynn Schilling” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Wow, her track record looks really good from what I found online. I'll take a chance and see how it goes. Thanks for the info
This verse struck me in the morning John 1:3-4 "Through him all things were made and without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind! "

so go created evil, god create rape,, murder, sin and war... well done.
Define “all things”. This alone can be stupidly shown as false.
Men didn’t expect laws…men simply observed that the universe seemed to behave according to laws. We’re pattern recognition creatures and this was a pattern. The laws aren’t prescriptive either. They are descriptive.
Science is descriptive, it can be used to predict the universe's behavior, if it cannot, it is improved so it may do so :)
And yet it’s searching for an unanswerable question. Keep searching by all means scientific breakthroughs are wonderful but I am coming to believe that the ultimate question lies with God
@@DancingCarrsI don’t know what “unanswerable question” you’re referring to, but science has a very clear cut scope that it is used for. Science doesn’t attempt to answer things that it was never intended for. Science doesn’t answer “why are we here”. NOR DOES IT TRY TO
@@bobbyboywonder12 why we’re here is the ultimate question and even how we got here can’t be answered by science if you go back far enough.
@@DancingCarrsyou’re 100% correct. But science has never proclaimed that it can answer that type of philosophical question. Science studies the physical, examinable universe. That’s it. Anything else is hogwash. Science examines WHAT the universe is, not WHY or how OUGHT the universe to be. I hope you can distinguish the 2. Cheers

for sharing it🛐
Thank you so much for sharing that
Great video! Really helped me gain a better perspective of God's providence in my life, being an atheist who converted to Christianity in my teens.
We are all born Atheists until someone indoctrinates us. No baby believes in Thor the God of thunder, Poseidon the God of the sea... Or Allah and Yahweh. You converting from Atheism to believing is not news. Sadly you opted to hang your brains as you come to Thee. But then the bible says "Lean not on your own understanding"... Apparently Knowledge is evil in biblical terms. After all Adam and Eve were chased from the garden of Eden coz of eating from the tree of Knowledge. Which God was very categorical not to touch🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve said this before, but both my parents are scientists and have always said that nothing makes sense without God, everything points to Him.
I became a believer after looking for truth for a time and that is a LONG story itself. I went to bible college for a time and left after meeting my wife, getting married, and having kids. Then, I decided to get a science degree in petroleum and everything pointed to God and a creator, order from chaos. After graduating with that it was decided to go back to bible college and graduate with a biblical studies degree. I feel they go hand in hand and only streghtened my belief in God and everything in the scriptures. I've had some amazing experiances with God and have met some phenominal people through the years.

Thank You Mr. John Lennox for an inspiring, honest and much needed lecture. I appreciate respect and am full of gratitude God is whom I believe to be our creator and unfortunate as it may seem he gave us free will, the most precious gift of all, CHOICE. The gift to make our own choices.. thank you for having this on your channel. Great
Peace Love & Light Always
Anyone who thinks having free will and free choice is "unfortunate" is an authoritarian/ fascist sympathizer, you talk about honesty yet believe in outright lies to make yourself feel better about life and death. facts don't care about feels evolution is proven legitimate holy books after spending untold amounts of money trying to prove is legit still has no evidence after 2000+ years other than base emotions/feelings of those who don't like to think for themselves, morality would still exist without religious clap trap used to persecute minorities you chose to demonize.
Prof John Lennox.
It was far from honest. No scientist of today has said the universe came from nothing. It has been maintained for a long time that the universe is theorised to have originated from a singularity. Professor Lennox has deliberately misquoted science to show his silly equation about nonsense.
"Have you studied Objectivism? Do you really think it's just a list of facts about reality? It's a philosophy, a comprehensive view of existence, a theory of knowledge, a guide to moral action and an inspiration to achieve the highest possible to you. That sounds like a lot more than just some boring list of facts."
-Anonymous-from an Objectivist forum
Awesome speech. Loved it. And he nailed it with the personal connection. What's the point of worshipping a God that doesn't answer? We have a literal personal relationship with our Father in heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the great comforter.
You can do this in your closet. Behind closed doors, where nobody can see you. .
The leap of faith it takes to go to your knees and humbly and sincerely request from Christ, is the most important step you will ever take. Ask him honestly to reveal himself to you. If you are sincere, you will be heard and answered.
Very nice! 👍
“What’s the point of worshipping a God that doesn’t answer? We have a literal personal relationship.”
Well the point could be that it calms your fear of death. The idea that you will truly never see the people you’ve loved and lost again or that one day you’ll just stop existing could be so painful that you imagine this relationship with a god that isn’t real. I’m totally conflicted. I used to have a really strong faith and it just evaporated when I lost my daughter. Now I’m completely an I Don’t Know-ist. I’m a huge critical thinker and I can usually argue both sides of something but never so strongly as the question of whether God is real or a fantasy. Inside I feel like you’d have to be an absolute moron to believe in God. At the exact same time, I feel like you’d have to be an absolute moron to not believe in God. It’s the weirdest thing. So I’m definitely not saying that I for sure know that the relationship you claim with God is wishful thinking on your part. I’m just offering an answer to your question of “what would be the point?”
@@trickortrump3292 I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. God bless you. You are in my prayers.
This is a broken world, full of broken people and pain and sin.
This is why Christians pray the Lord's prayer. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven". Is a Desperate cry from Christians for our Lord to hurry back and put an end to suffering.

Maybe all here in this group should try to understand Hinduism.
Christ preached the Hindu concepts which were misunderstood as per the limited understanding that the west had of religion at that time.
@@trickortrump3292 Try listening to jeffrey lang and the purpose of life..
To summarize the points made:
1. More irrational to think that the world came about from nothing than to think it came from God (yet somehow not irrational to think God came from nothing)
2. The coincidence of a human mind creating mathematics that conform to reality, i.e. predicting entire physical systems (ignoring that mathematics describes what has been observed, and does not prescribe it, hardly a miracle of thought)
3. The contradiction between believing that our faculties for reasoning developed from evolution, "random so to speak," yet it is irrational to presuppose that God granted it to us (this presupposes both the existence of God to grant it, and that reasoning is a miraculous function, which one again pressuposses a certain divinity to reasoning)
4. Morality cannot exist without God (this follows the same logic and premises as point 3, therefore it is presupposed once more)
5. The unknowability of the Reason for All Things (this assumes God as the answer and automatically rejects existentialism/no purpose)
6. The Problem of Evil (this point is explicitly dismissed and not entertained)
7. The Judgment and Who Enacts It (this presents the fallacy that some answer is better than no answer at all, and presupposes that human existence "needs" an ultimate justice, which has no basis)
Unfortunately this is not an argument against atheism or a rationalization of one position over another, it's a sermon and hardly a destruction of anything.
Kudos, nice analysis
@@devanjohnson737 If atheists are correct that there is no god, what happens then? We’ll just die sooner or later. But what if us christians are correct about Jesus being our only salvation for eternal life, what happens then to the atheists?? Atheists will be in deep … fecal matter for eternity. There is still time for you to come to Jesus.

Amen. Thanks John, you said it all plainly. Be blessed.
Because those are people who are always praying, who are always remembering God, you know, who are always giving charity, who dress modestly, who don't go to bars and clubs and sleep around. You don't like them because they are people with conservative values who take morality seriously, who love God. That'll make you look bad.
So you have to redefine all of that as oppression to make your opposition to morality look like a moral stance. You have to pretend that we are against freedom because we exercise freedom responsibly and in a principled manner. Because freedom to you actually just means irresponsibility and decadence. And again, this is why “kuffar”-because it's lying, changing words for other words, mischaracterizing things to obscure reality. But you wouldn't do that if you thought you were right. You wouldn't have to be dishonest if you thought you were right. You wouldn't have to use deceitful language to make immoral things sound moral, if you didn't know, on some level, that you're wrong.
Shaytan taught you this because that's how he pitches it to you. He makes the evil seem good because human beings want to be good, and they don't want to be evil in their heart of hearts. So, he (Shaytan) redefines immorality as morality, and then you run with it. But you know you're wrong, and that's really why Muslims make you so uncomfortable. And why you have to talk about the Taliban and all that to convince yourself that Shaytan's propaganda is true. So you can rationalize your disobedience to God as a good thing, rationalize the moral decay of your societies as a virtuous thing. It's a breathtaking level of dishonesty, and it's going to let you down. It is letting you down, and it is by far the most oppressive way to live your life. Because ultimately, immorality, irresponsibility, and selfishness are truly tyrannical and damaging. And the moral discipline that Muslims live by, the Sharia, is liberating and empowering.
So you have to call what we follow oppressive, just to keep yourself from facing the oppression that you are actually under. [end]

And even after all of those words, there is still no proof of the existence of the Christian God.

Imagine an experienced homicide Detective seeing multiple dead bodies face down, bound, and gagged, and there is a man standing with a smoking gun in his hand, yet this Detective concludes that these people died from suicide. Any rational thinking person would immediately recognize the absurdity of such a conclusion. Yet, atheists are just like this "experienced" Detective so-called. In fact, atheists deny, and ignore, far more compelling evidence than this Detective. Bottom line is this: "Whose report will you believe?" John Lennox sees and proclaims the truth of God based on material evidence while using logic, and scientific reasoning. Where is the evidence that NOTHING ever produced ANYTHING, much less the cosmos, and everything in it?

@sandponics IF He IS the 'cause' of it; it is ONLY because #1. Our SINS; including our unbelief and rebellion against Him have BROUGHT these things to us; because God says, "A curse WITHOUT CAUSE will NOT alight", or #2. We are going through something that; IF we go through it with a RIGHT and not SNOTTY attitude; we will find...maybe not right away...that there WAS or IS a purpose in it. ATTITUDE will determine MUCH of what we go through. WE can make this EASIER (Not easy; but easier); OR; we can make things unnecessarily MUCH HARDER. The choice is OURS. God is holy; He CANNOT do wrong; we are sinners; and can do very little BUT sin. The balance, or INBALANCE; between us...whose hearts are FILLED with anger; lust; perversion; addictions; murder; etc.. and a just, good; and holy God; who has no sin, couldn't be any clearer.
Let's not TRY HARDER to do and BE wrong; but to do and be more right. The FIRST step is NOT rebelling against God. God loves you; He truly does; but if you treat Him as though He's bad or wrong; then THAT WILL BE what you EXPERIENCE. It's not what really is; but it's what you will create for yourself....what WE all create for ourselves.

Have you ever _directly observed_ this 'personal God'?
The Resurrection is the proof . . . . but the Bible says that on that day the graves "gave up their dead" - - there were hundreds, at least, of resurrected people walking around Jerusalem. These hundreds of people would need food, a place to sleep, jobs, a change of clothes . . . . there's no real mention of what happened to the hundreds, if not thousands of newly homeless people walking around Jerusalem.
I hope in those 50 years you've learned how to use faith to help people. You don't need to pick up that idiot argument that your faith is the truth when there is no evidence that it is. Faith doesn't have to be true to be helpful.

Brilliant. Makes me proud to be a Chrisian. God bless this great intellectual man. We need more like him.
N, we don't.
Why would we want more absurd things that he cannot demonstrate are true?
He did not (because he cannot)demonstrate that any 'god' thing has ever existed using the sort of valid and verified evidence I have for the existence of my dog and car.
He is actually a professional apologist who is happy to misrepresent the concensus of scientific opinion to appeal to believers. Not really a very skilled position. We need people who will actually debate properly.
Nazis were Christian still proud?
I finally subbed dear brother!!! Im so thankful for John lennox.. Hes like a sheep amongst wolves.. Hes against the world FOR THE WORLD.. I love it!! I used to be critical on him because of some of his historical and scientific views. However as Christ has grown in me a love for his people Ive become so thankful for this brother! Thanks for the work you do!! as a fellow content creator I praise God for your work brother!!
Thank so much! And I agree - Lennox is a legend! A great balance of beauty and Truth.

John Lennox is a brain washed creationist loon. He is an expert in mathematics, but knows nothing (willfully) about science. He is getting senile in his old age, but that does not stop him from preaching the creationist propaganda.
Con artistry is called that precisely because it works to pull you in the direction of the notions it is presenting as the truth, but without disclosing the catch: the severely toxic and divisive nature of its applications.
It's like listening to Paul, what a big blessing is the love of our lord and his brave chiildren who raise to be light
Jon just did a sermon and none of them realize it. Beautiful and well played. He preached the truth. Amen.
Truth isn't preached, it's explained. He preached misinformation
as an atheist, sorry, but it's likely that everyone noticed
Profoundly! Seed of Truth was conveyed and even perceived; now it must lead to repentance, acceptance and forgiveness. 🕊

Believing in God is an emotional support for dumb people… Who don’t require evidence, and don’t care about the truth
I no longer have a problem with God, I now have a problem with Me! I feel like I know the truth but are struggling with my sinful nature
Stop it if you believe you will.
God loves you and all sinners. Look at john 4 parable on the Samaritan woman who were a a pagan and an adulterer. Jesus offered her a drink AND asked her for a drink. This drink represents prayer, the spiritual water that lead us to eternal life. Holy Spirit is the master of prayer and He is often symbolized as a water. He invites you to pray! He literally thirsts for your soul, just like when He was on the cross saying "I thirst"
Don’t believe the lie that we are capable to struggle with our sinful nature and prevail.
We need Christ because by his righteousness we are granted access to God’s presence once more but also it is his victory on the cross that destroys the sinful nature in our life.
Our faith in Christ doesn’t mean we wont struggle with sin as we still live in a world corrupted by sin, but because of our new nature in Christ we can be empowered by the presence of God (Holy Spirit) to overcome, we must find peace in him.
We remain on this earth after coming to know the truth by the very same mercy of God.
It is by his mercy that he withholds judgement of the world to give all an opportunity to come to Him.
He is unwilling that any would be lost.
As Paul says it is our honor to suffer for the glory of God that in following the command of Christ we as the body can do our part in bringing the lost to know hope in him.
I say these things with love!
I struggled many years with what you are describing.
There is hope, don’t stop pursuing God’s presence and truth, he will be made known to you in the depth of your being.
Once that occurs nothing can rock you or remove you from his presence, only by his will and strength not your own.
Don’t beat yourself up, we are all in the same boat.
I pray for you today to see, hear, and feel the Holy Spirit and get in the Book and study it. I pray for your salvation and look forward to meeting you in heaven.
This gentleman should update his current understanding of science and the universe.
You gave me a good laugh with that inanity.

If I'm a robber because I'm starving to death god is going to put me in a fire forever. Your god seems pretty bad ngl
@@Miker_BaIlin Who told you this? They are wrong! God does not put people into eternal torment for theft. Christ dined frequently with thieves and prostitutes because they hungered for his truth. With repentance and following Christ's commandments they would go to heaven.
Now, if you think *_you_* are that temporary human body, then this becomes a huge problem. God did not create this universe to pamper the bodies we *_wear._* He only loves the children who *_LOOK LIKE HIM._* In other words, your spirit! Not your body.
We were created in God's image and He is NOT _Homo sapiens._
As Christians, we are taught to be compassionate to the less fortunate. Not all so-called Christians do this, to their own shame. But if someone is trying to give up theft and they are starving, then they need to find help from those willing to give it. Ironically, the "compassionate" Leftists who tend to flock to the cities, will turn their backs on former thieves who are trying to survive. Not all Leftists or atheists are evil. Even I have been helped by an atheist who sent my family money after the 2013 typhoon. Bless him!
The eternal fire is not something which is punishment in the sense of human "justice," but instead is a *_decision_* by the individual. In your example, the robber.
God has given us tough choices. Do we protect a temporary body and lose eternity? Or do we risk losing the temporary body and gain eternity? The choice is difficult *_ON PURPOSE!_*
YOU began with all of us, some 13.8 BILLION years ago. And this is NOT talking about your current, temporary body, but the REAL YOU, behind those beautiful eyes.

Nobody can claim this gentleman is ignorant, uneducated or hallucinating as they call many believers nowadays. The Truth is the only thing that will set us all free. Question is are we willing to face it?!
I heard nothing but childish arguments.
If he is actually a scientist, he should be ashamed.
Genuine question (I am completely uneducated on Christianity):
God created the universe. His explanation is that the universe couldn't have created the universe because that just doesn't make sense (correct me if I'm wrong), so it must have been some higher entity, aka God.
But did something create God? Was there something before God? Why was God there? Why is God here?
Can someone educated please answer these questions for me? Like I said, I am genuinely curious to know if there is an answer for this.
The biggest question all atheists typically ask is this: who created God? The simple answer is: God was not created, simply because God is the Creator not the creation and he is out of time-space continuum. It is like looking for Leonardo da Vinci in the Mona Lisa painting. You can admire his painting and understand his genius through his painting strokes but cannot look for the painter in the painting itself. So is with God. He created the Universe to perfection. We can admire it, study it through sciences but we cannot look for God in the Universe. All we can see is his strokes. He is out of it and out of time and space dimensions and the laws of Universe which he created in order for the Universe to run in equilibrium. @@machammer7454
And that is proof that people hear only what they want to hear unfortunately. So if you came to watch this debate only for the fun of it but without intention to learning something new than you have wasted your time and I am not surprised you have not learnt anything. I can say from personal experience that Jesus Christ is alive and has revealed himself to me through miracles that are tangible and non-disputable. Yet I know for sure that even that will not be enough and you will still not believe me. So do not waste your time if your modus operandi is to simply mock believers and call them childish. They may see you as childish too even though they at least have the delicacy to not say it to your face. Have you thought about that?! Hope one day you will realize how wrong you are. Probably not today...but someday when you need God in your life. @@salserokorsou
@@machammer7454My 2cents. Nobody created God. He is self existent and self sufficient . He created time, space, and matter. So He cannot be limited and confined by time, space, and matter. He is therefore eternal (outside time), has no beginning or the end. He is omnipresent (not limited by space, He is everywhere at one time). He is Spirit (and not matter).

Because those are people who are always praying, who are always remembering God, you know, who are always giving charity, who dress modestly, who don't go to bars and clubs and sleep around. You don't like them because they are people with conservative values who take morality seriously, who love God. That'll make you look bad.
So you have to redefine all of that as oppression to make your opposition to morality look like a moral stance. You have to pretend that we are against freedom because we exercise freedom responsibly and in a principled manner. Because freedom to you actually just means irresponsibility and decadence. And again, this is why “kuffar”-because it's lying, changing words for other words, mischaracterizing things to obscure reality. But you wouldn't do that if you thought you were right. You wouldn't have to be dishonest if you thought you were right. You wouldn't have to use deceitful language to make immoral things sound moral, if you didn't know, on some level, that you're wrong.
Shaytan taught you this because that's how he pitches it to you. He makes the evil seem good because human beings want to be good, and they don't want to be evil in their heart of hearts. So, he (Shaytan) redefines immorality as morality, and then you run with it. But you know you're wrong, and that's really why Muslims make you so uncomfortable. And why you have to talk about the Taliban and all that to convince yourself that Shaytan's propaganda is true. So you can rationalize your disobedience to God as a good thing, rationalize the moral decay of your societies as a virtuous thing. It's a breathtaking level of dishonesty, and it's going to let you down. It is letting you down, and it is by far the most oppressive way to live your life. Because ultimately, immorality, irresponsibility, and selfishness are truly tyrannical and damaging. And the moral discipline that Muslims live by, the Sharia, is liberating and empowering.
So you have to call what we follow oppressive, just to keep yourself from facing the oppression that you are actually under. [end]

My question is even if there is a God what are the odds that He cares about our existence? Why do we need to worship Him? Do animals worship God? Is God just for humans? Does God only help those who pray to Him? And the most important question " DO YOU PRAY BECAUSE YOU ARE GRATEFUL OR DO YOU PRAY BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED(of the things he'll do to you when you die)"
And I wanna ask that even if we are correct about the existence of God, can we ever be correct about the perception of God? We think that God is almighty, but what are the odds of this being true? Can't He just be a psycho sitting up there looking at us doing bad stuffs and enjoying? You only believe in God because that's how you've been raised. If your family and friends never told you about God, you would have died without ever giving two fucks about His existence.
You don't need to worship anyone. All religions come from the same source, and the books are adapted to the needs of man. God is not an entity, it's the source of everything, an all knowing energy that consists of every soul in existance. You are a part of God, we are all connected
light behaves as both particle and wave, this has been proved by de Broglie. But as a matter of fact light is neither a particle nor wave. The nature of light is limited by our imagination/technology
Similarly we do not have the capability to imagine the clear picture of god.
God is like my eternally loving mother and is the mother of all living and non-living, whom I find scary and at the same time I feel grateful.
You are only scared of mother when you do bad things, and if you are regretful and amend your mistakes then your mother will forgive or lessen your punishment.
You pray becuase you can't avoid it, I'm not a bible fanatic but I do remember stuff that made sense "you will not test the Lord thy god" sincerity is key, you don't just pray every Sunday or sunset or any space set aside for it, real prayer is constant.
my understanding is that you pray to show devotion, because you have a desire to supplicate yourself before a greater power, and doing so before another human being feels abominable. Showing submission towards God pleases that not often recognized part of human psychology in a way that also reminds one to take stock of both the good and the bad in their life in a conscientious way, and still allows (but certainly doesn't encourage) an internal locus of control. It's certainly a healthier way to express this need than BDSM or OF participation, which I do think serve nearly identical purposes for the majority of practitioners.
I just got to know you channel, and it's amazing to see how God works through people's lives to reach others.

The fact that we can describe everything just with one language “mathematics” is the proof, that everything is connected to each other. The believing, that the whole universe just appeared makes much less sense than believing in a creator.

The universe was not created "appearing" from nothing. The are many well known atheist that after years of denying the existence of God and searching to prove that there is no God, they came to the conclusion that there is a God or an intelligent designer how some prefer to call the creator of the universe.
The idea of God as creator is evident in the order things are created and in the fact that the universe stays in "balance" and in place. If the universe was created according with the chaos of the big bang theory, that chaos it self could not be able to keep the universe stability and it would disappear 9n the same way it was created. Chaos does not create order.
God always existed. He has no beginning and no end. The universe was created by Him and has beginning and end. God is eternal. Created things are not. They pass away. God and His word will not pass away. Regardless of those that choose to deny the existence of God or choose not to believe in Him, He still exists. He is Hot and does not depend on us. We depend on Him.
If you think God has existed forever and does not need a 'beginning' or a 'creator', why can't I think that about the universe?
@@johnmurray9422well you can, but the universe is comprised of space, matter, and time. If there was matter and time but no space, no universe. If there was space and time but no matter, nothing in space(no universe). If there was matter and space but no time, when would the universe… universe?
You see the concept of God is that God is uncreated. Which means he is outside the bounds is space time and matter. The universe is within it and limited by its bounds of space time and matter. Like a software engineer or CS major creating a computer or really anything inside a computer. It is limited by the bounds of the computer however the creator is outside of it, can turn it off turn it off use it pause it create other things etc.
I hope I didn’t just speak something that can’t be understood, if that’s the case, essentially
God cannot be created for he is outside the bounds of what it means to be created however the universe is in those bounds.
@@johnmurray9422 The universe is bound by time and space, dimensions we understand to be measurable and finite. The concept of infinity implies that if the universe were infinite, reaching the present moment would require an infinite passage of time, which is logically inconsistent. Therefore, the universe must have a beginning.
Following the cosmological argument, everything that begins to exist must have a cause external to itself. Since the universe began, it too requires an external cause, which cannot be bound by space and time. This cause is posited to be an uncaused and transcendent entity, conceptualized as God. This entity would logically be the initiator of the universe, existing outside the known physical laws that govern time and space.
