@Miko Chu babes are not always quiet, What do babes do? Cry and get emotional, they get offended and complain, still in sin. In 1 Peter 2:1-2 God is saying to put off sin as newborn babes. Revelation 3:15-16 says what will happen if you don't. Also how can they be unbelievers if they are believing what God can do for them? (Going back on your first comment)
I was asked that once. I brought up pharoah's magicians when Moses threw his staff down and it turned into a snake. The magicians threw their staffs down and they also turned into snakes. Ending with Moses's snakes devouring the other magicians. In other words other religions can counterfeit signs and miracles but they are nothing compared to our God.
@@timeshark8727 That's one way of looking at it. But when you have questions or statements made that other religions have miracles so they have to be real. Even if its false If you can provide some type of evidence people will believe. But when you explain how the evidence is counterfeit that helps to woke up those who were deceived by lies.
@@LoneCrusader Christanity and Judiasm have also been perversed. And I don't follow the religion Islam or Judaism but they certainly all believe in the same God. Man just perversed the text. Only true word is through Jesus Christ.
I’m addicted to these videos. Frank Turek is an awesome God fearing man and I love watching these. It answers a lot of questions I have and it helps me in my walk with Christ along with the Bible and prayer. Knowing why I believe what I believe is my struggle but these help me.

Did everything came from something? From where did that starting something came from? What was before the big bang? Why should big bang occur? What is the purpose of universe? Anything that has evidence and is subject able to experimentation & verification is Science. Does big bang qualify these Scientific variables? When there is a building there must be a builder. Building cannot build themselves. Building alone is the proof of the builder. When there is a painting there must be a painter. When there is creation, there must be a CREATOR. Creation is the proof of GOD. "The heavens declare the glory of GOD and the firmament sheweth HIS handywork" (Psalm 19:1) 💐
@@ElGatoVato768 You know the greatest miracle was the resurrection. If some false prophets talk about the future but dies in the end. What does it matter? I don´t know if you are an atheist a muslim or a buddhist or somthing else. You are here. You want to know the truth. Perhaps you think you already found the truth. That there is no god. In Jeremiah 29:13 "it is said: You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart." Perhaps you think, no I don´t want to. But you have literally nothing to lose. And I just want to know someting. Let´s assume Jesus is the son of god, would you follow him. Or would you deny him even if you would know it´s true?
@@ElGatoVato768 That´s a honest reply. :) I mean I believe if you seek the truth with your heart you will find it. And if you want to discuss with Jesus. You could actually do that. It sounds crazy but it works through prayer (talking to Jesus) and bible reading. It´s actually so simple. Instead of never trying and never really knowing if it was actually true, just try it. I mean, it´s clearly your choice if you want to or not. :)
The real miracle is just life, the fact that life exists here is so amazing yet people can't see that. If people could see this then every day would be a gift.
Its not a miracle. Its chemistry. The more you learn biology and chemistry the less it seems miraculous. But its still amazing. Not everything thats amazing needs a god. Just watch "magic for humans" on netflix :D

There are billions of billions of solar systems and way more planets than that.

Hi frank. I stumble onto you today and after watching a few videos I subscribe God bless you brother may the Lord strengthen your wisdom and may you continue to help interpret Christianity to those who have question "fight the good fight"
JAViLL exactly! Blaise Pascal once said, "People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive. People know instinctively that If Christianity is true they will lose control, and they will not be able to live anyway they wish. Therefore, they despise it and don't want it to be true, yet fear that it may be true."

@@uscg1381 you could say that, but why then would we need to understand reality if we have no point of reference? Still begs the question... you wouldnt need to understand reality if there really is no God.
This trinitarian speaker made so many lies about my religion Islam in just one sentence Lol There are so many miracles stated in The Qur'an like the entire quranic surah called Al Miraaj speaking how God miraclously took his prophet up to heavens then to Al Aqsa (Jerusalem) then back home (arab peninsulah) all in 1 day (at that time such a fast travel was impossible in human mind let alone making a tour of seven heavens & going to an other country soo distant, so many arab pagans falsely accused him of being a crazy a liar), like when God sent Angels to fight with muslims while they were largely out numbred & about to get exterminated, When arab pagans asked Prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him for a visible miracle= sign=Eya so God allowed the moon to split & get back in it's initial state (british empire recorded that indian historians recorded a sighting of moon split in half during that same periode), ..the Qur'an it self every verse is called eya=sign = miracle, & infact it contain so many miracles linguistic, scientific..& the list goes on. He lied also about the debut of hadith recording.
I love that last little bit about the church being the church. That’s something I’ve been talking about for a couple of years now, and finally starting to understand what true Christianity looks like thanks to that.
An excellent point which I wish Frank would have brought up (and I know he already knows this) and one that I think answers the doubts from the skeptic even better is that we can sidestep the entire question of "what about the miracles of other religions?" by simply pointing out the exclusivity inherent in the Christian religion. Jesus Christ claims to be the ONLY WAY TO GOD and, in fact, ONE WITH that same God, not to mention that he claims to alone be "the truth and the life" (John 14:6) So he claims to be God himself and the ONLY God there is. So right there, even if we have miraculous supernatural things truly occurring in other religions, it stands to reason, that if Christ's claims are true (proven thru various means such as the resurrection, etc), then that automatically excludes ALL OTHER religions from offering anyone any hope of some sort of pleasant afterlife, meeting God, going to heaven, being true themselves in offering a different God, etc So it does not matter whether the skeptic of Christianity can prove miraculous things occurring in other religions, so long as the Christian claims concerning Christ remains true and haven't been aptly defeated by the skeptic, then it follows that all other religions are false except for Christianity. As a side note, from a Christian perspective, there could indeed seem to be miracles occurring in other religions with no natural explanation. This could simply be the work of demonic forces as we know from scripture that they do such fake miracles to deceive others. So we needn't automatically assume we have to DISprove miracles of other religions, because, given my above argument, Christianity would remain the only true religion despite the occurrence of miracles in other religions. This is why I believe the above argument is a stronger one than what Frank offered (certainly no discredit meant to him) because Frank's answer could be problematic if one can prove a miracle(s) as happening in another religion, whereas the above argument is immune to any such attack no matter whether a miracle occurred in another religion or not.
Wow miracles happen in your religion are miracles but when it happens in other religions then it's a demonic power. Ehmm you can put any religion there, same excuse. This type of mentality is the reason why people are running away from religions.
Why do religious people say this? People that don’t believe in a God is because lack of evidence or proof. That it. If someone could produce evidence for a specific God their would be only one God and a mass exodus towards that God. But there isn’t evidence, so all religions are faith based... ironic don’t you think.
Interesting how Christians will use evidence and skepticism to question other religions and their veracity but won't use it on their own. Also, since when is the "impressiveness" of a supposed supernatural event a measuring stick to tell if something was supernatural or not. Also, and lastly, nice ad hominem attack on the lady's friend at the end who became a Buddhist.
Christianity has been scrutinized and challenged since its inception and continues to this day It has withstood and overcome them all Atheists have run out of arguments to challenge Christianity.
So basically - if a Christian sees a miracle it is true- don’t question how the the “miracle” could have happened naturally; if someone from another religion has a miracle question it a little and then dismiss it
Satan can also do miracles, seen throughout the bible (2 Corinthian 11:14). I have done many supernatural miracles. Is the miracle selfless? If not, it is from satan. For example, I could go and lay hands on the sick and they would heal in Jesus's name, but could never heal myself. All glory to Jesus. Selfless miracles = Godly miracles. Selfish miracles = satanic miracles
I hope you still see this. Idk about other denominations, but the Roman Catholic Church actually tries to disprove the miracle as having naturally occurred first. Each incident officially recognized by the Church goes under scrutiny from outside non-religious institutions or universities. Sometimes psychological examinations are done. In the case of stigmati for example, or people where bloody holes appear in the hands and feed (usually someone of deep faith), the person is kept under watchful eye to make sure they’re not self-harming or keeping the holes from healing up. In Lourdes,France where Mary appeared to a 14yr old girl a number of times back in 1858, though around 7000 healed cases have been claimed from those who have made the pilgrimage to the spot and have touched the waters that sprung up from where the encounters occurred after Mary directed her to drink from the muddy waters “meant for sinners,” (that’s an event you might find intriguing), only 70 have been confirmed as true bonafide unexplainable miracles. Many of the earlier healings lack the correct documentation for scientific review which means more could, but as of now, 70 is the official number of cases scrutinized, unexplainable, and sudden cures of things incurable.
@@chiragrulze True! Satan tries to copy everything God has done. That's the devil's trick. That's how the world stands deceived and seperated from the True God our Lord Jesus Christ. Watch John Ramirez's interviews on TH-cam, he was the 'General of Satan' as he explains himself. The devil knows every word of the Bible.
In exodus, didnt Pharaoh's magiciens executed miracles such as turning wooden sticks into snakes ? So miracles in other religions are possible if you believe the bible
I also had a friend who was Christian but then became Buddhist. He was doing things that he knew he aught not do, and Buddhism was a way to put away a guilty conscience.
Frank, you have an incredible knowledge of physics, science and Christianity. But I think maybe if you studied up on other religious texts, you're debates could be so much more effective. God bless you man, you're doing good work.
now my theory is frank is an atheist but his public persona says we got here by magic....thats in no way backed up by science..we have a pretty good idea how we got here and its not magic
Frank has been answering the same questions for years. He’s like a refrigerator salesman selling the same fridge for 20 years. Yeah, he knows his product.
I am fairly impressed by some Buddhist claims, at least. For Christian ones, I try to bear some examples in mind - as well as the fact multiple denominations claim competing ones.
Contending for validity of a religion based on whether or not there is supernatural power being displayed is irrelevant. The reason why I say that is because satan can perform miracles as stated by God in the biblical account. Satan can also transform himself into other beings and therefore has the capacity to decieve with both power of the miraculous and visual stimulation. I'm not saying any thing negative about Frank because I love him and think he is brilliant in apologetics. However his claim that other religions do not have valid miracles is false. Which is not to say they are equivalent to Christianity because they are not. I said all of that because our faith in Christ should not be grounded in the miracles He did (sounds sketchy) but our faith should be grounded in trust in His WORDS and His authority, without evidence. Why do I make that claim? I make that claim because Jesus Himself said many things relating to it but my two favorite are these: 1.) Blessed are those who believe in Me even thought they have never SEEN me. (That is a reference to satan's manifestations of power and miracles) 2.) My Sheep hear MY VOICE and will not follow another.(His VOICE and words hold more weight than seeing Him and His miracles.) Now I also think it would help if I clarify that I am a bible believing Christian and I believe in and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Not like average western charismatics) I've seen hundreds of healings while praying with people in grocery stores, bus stops, places of employment and etc, and I believe those amazing miracles have added to my faith, but they are not what my faith is grounded on. I hope I have given a good explanation. Like Frank always shares that God said with His own words that He did the greatest miracle of all, God created the heavens and the earth. Even though I can't see God physically, I believe His words which lead me to see Him spiritually everyday. ❤ Much love 😊
If you look into the gods and miracles of other religions...I mean REALLY look into them, you will see that their gods and their miracles were of demons. Their miracles would require sacrifices of virgins, babies, people cutting themselves, doing drugs, having sex, being intoxicated for or during their "religious" ceremonies. If you have depictions of their gods, eg: Egyptian, Sumerian, Hindu, etc, they resembled fallen angelic beings taking shape in the form of things or animals that the people worshipped. Early man had high intelligence in things lost to us but we also have intelligence not privily to them. So if an Egyptian feared the crocodile or alligator as some dirty (for whatever reason) the fallen angel would come as a human with a crocodile head. The christian God doesn't require such sacrifices. Only the sacrifice of one's will of self destruction unto the will of life through Christ. That's deity not dirty...the spell check switched it on me.
Yes, 4:45ish Very true. Been there, done that. Went down that road for a loooong time and finally woke up and saw I was just trying to find religion that fit my own desires (compatibility) versus deep seated, true belief.
Your beginning comments on the religion of sex is something I've been thinking on for some time. What we are seeing here in my opinion is the newest incarnation of the goddess of sex. In the past she went by Inanna, then Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, Venus, and now she is an invisible obsession in our culture. It's just an old idol with a new paint job.
It's incredibly smug and presumptuous to question the motives of someone you don't know- or even someone you do- because they don't believe the same things you do. Everyone has the right to be presumptuous, but don't assume others won't take notice or that it won't affect what they think of you and your own motives.
The Christian argument is based on developing straw men: cherry picking points of attack, defaming characters and making arbitrary inferences and claims they cannot prove.
@@ghostwryteranonymous4910 no. It’s about surfing the truth and nothing else, knowing that people will be offended. Everyone wants to live in world where they won’t be held accountable for their sins. God WILL punish them if they don’t repent!

If my people who are called by My Name, will humble themselves, praying, seeking My Face to turn from their wicked ways. Then I will hear from Heaven and heal their land.
I'm a Christian, but I think you're setting people up to be deceived if you say that other religions aren't capable of miracles. What about when Pharaoh's magicians duplicated Moses' miracles in Exodus 7:22 through the use of secret arts? What about in Revelation 13:13 where it says that the 2nd Beast performed great signs and was able to make fire come from heaven? "Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth." The difference is that unlike the Holy Spirit, their miracles are limited and finite, but they're still within the realm of what people would consider "supernatural", which is what gives them the ability to deceive people who think that only Christ is capable of miracles.
That's a really good question and one that I've thought about in depth; until I came to the realisation that the Pharaohs were in fact pagans. They were idol worshipers (think Isis, Horus etc..). Their entire belief system was based on an idol religion; which is in turn based fundamentally on Satanism. So it is not implausible to conclude that some of the "miracles" they performed was the direct result of black magic inspired by Satan himself. Don't forget that Satan is the master deceiver.
@@MrAndyGA are they satanists by your definition or theirs? Does your label apply to them or do they decide who they are? Does magic and witchcraft exist with real effects that can measured physically?

objective morality is simply impossible to argue without there being a God. If there is no God then there has to be moral relativity. But we do have strong moral absolutes- its a contradiction.

2:26. That's not the Miracle of Mormonism, far from it. Joseph Smith Claimed to have seen God and Christ together who told him to not join any church at the time.
Even though the bible says that if someone actually see's God that they "would surely die" and I feel like Joseph Smith was trying to elevate himself to be at the same level and importance as Moses who did spend time with God on the mountain of Zion where God revealed a small piece of himself to Moses and when Moses would come off the mountain witnesses said he would be glowing a bright white where Gods glory was radiating off of moses from just being in Gods presence and God wasn't even fully revealed only what Moses could comprehend
I was fairly impressed with Frank until I watched him with Christopher Hitchens. I was disappointed to watch him swallowed up by anger and frustration and argue with such emotion. I’m not anything close to an Atheist, on the contrary I strive to live true Christianity. A lot of what this guy says is solid, but beware of what he discounts. Beware of his “logical proofs” because they tend to be utterly besides the point. Faith is the principle from which you find the Power of God. It can be tested with reason and stand up to intellectual scrutiny. About those “Gold Plates” and Mormonism. I’d recommend people look into that a much closer. Frank tries to trivialize them in a fashion similar to someone claiming “I can make bread and catch fish too!” Such an argument when understood in context is absurd. The object is not the miracle. Taking miracles on a case by case basis requires understanding the case. Read the testimonies of the witnesses to the plates. Pray and ask God and receive revelation for yourself. Contrary to what this man says, the canon is not closed. If so there is a great flaw in the scriptures because they say no such thing. YOU can receive revelation and God calls prophets today.
"What About the Miracles of Other Religions?" Since Christianity hasn't proved any of it's miracles actually happened, Christianity is in the same boat as all other religions... none of them have proved any of their miracles have happened.
Well the fact that other non-biblical texts speak of it, is proof enough. The fact that for some reason these desert dwellers were able to change the entire political and religous authority of Europe and Africa is proof of something.
We have miracles happening today and do you know why secular sources don't record Jesus miracles? Because if they did record Jesus miracles, they would be affirming who he claimed to be, and also the Babylonian talmud record that he was being accused of sorcery, so to be acused of that means that he must have been doing something supernatural. And this also agrees with the Bible because in Mark is recorded that the Jews were telling people that Jesus did miracles by the power of Satan.
The only miracles that happened was when Jesus Christ came. There is prove because that is historical text- The Bible, the Quran, and the Torah all talk about Jesus. Even the Quran doesn't like Jesus, but they still talked abt him & that is true evidence that he exists and that he did these 'miracles'.

3:00 Quick correction that's actually Dharma. And the caste system of the ancient Hindu belief believing in what you do in one life affects you and what will become the next. It's all still karma, but there's more intricacy in it than just that.

Not quite sure I understand the logic of that statement. In concept. In theory reincarnation is a moment in time, generally scrubbed from one's memory, mostly. And then not experienced again until your next death. Hell is a place of eternal final placement ,void of all things God. A place of absolutely no life, no "light" and no love. And life on earth is nothing in comparison to the concept of the agony of existence without life. People from.different times of our history, or people today of different cultures and exsistances only wish they could have been so lucky. Mental illness and the pain of reincarnation. Really? 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental illness. And do you know what most all of them have in common. They believe their alone. Mental illness isn't all that uncommon anymore. Infant it's so common, I'm not convinced that it's just not another label or a typing built to suppress the mind that much more. When did we just stop calling it depression? And when was depression a new thing? Walk the streets of any city and look for the lost souls. Who are people in so much pain everyday at the thought of living life, they can't wait until their next hi so they can forget the world that much more once again. No I'm sorry. But I don't think we have a Mental illness problem, I don't even think we have a depression problem. I just think, that we live in a world where mankind has gotten too good ... and too comfortable with not growing up and feeling sorry for themselves is just the norm. It's our way of life. It's like using ur zodiac to instantly try to figure people out instead of getting to know them in the first place. It's excuses and it always has been. Everyone experiences pain and at one time or another everyone experiences depression. The difference is what you do with it. Do we use it as an excuse? Or move on and get on with our lives?..
Whenever Dr. Turek brings up the believer and disciple comparison I understand the wisdom. I am a believer I always have been. But I always struggled to be a disciple. A believer knows but a disciple follows. I am ashamed of myself...
I think that's something not just a few Christians struggle with, myself included of course. Now, 2 years later since you wrote this comment, how are you doing? Has God done something in your life, because I believe that when there is a big enough part of us that wants to follow God, He will make it happen for us. (Hebrews 13:20-21)
Well the miracles Jesus did served a purpose. If it was done just for the heck of it, it was worthless and He rebuked it....for example in Quran their is a story of Mohammed casuing some kind of cr scent moon or something to do with the moon when asked to preform a miracle. What did that serve? Nothing. It did Nothing for any one. Much different than Jesus stance.
what about Jesus's "miracle" of cursing a fig tree(because it was not bearing fruit, because it was out of season(you'd think Jesus would kbow that))? who did that help? what purpose did that serve?
@@Mockturtlesoup1 That act symbolises the spiritual deadness of Israel. Just prior he tore the market on the inner court apart. This was a Two day event apparently. One the day it was cursed and two the day it withered. Which is significant as the type of tree was a symbol for Israel.
@@Mockturtlesoup1 also, from what i understand, it might not have been fig season, but the tree was supposed to have the buds/start of figs that are also edible. It was literally bearing no fruit, and therefore was a worthless fig tree, which he used as a metaphor in his teaching.
The earth is bringing forth her testimony in these last days to balance the mounting unbelief.

Frank I think the guy meant wonders, like extraordinary things. For instance someone getting healed or turning into a dog or stone using another deity’s powers other than our living God. Pharaohs sorcerers were able to turn their staff into snakes yet they were not using Gods power. Best answer would be just because they are doing miracles doesn’t mean they are from God. And you can use Mathew 24:24 in support “For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.”
GOD Almighty Looks in the Core of the Heart; He Looks At the Secret Motives. So if you think you can Outsmart GOD with your reasons, which goes against His Word, BIBLE, Then Think Again.

Having that in mind, what I mean by spiritually is that, people maybe physically alive but Spiritually they're dead (this means Bad News for whoever might be Spiritually dead, cus you've open a way for the devil to throw whatsoever it might to fool and deceive you Away From God's Will) so This World Believes Evil is Good and Good is evil (already been predicted in the Bible). And Miracles are only a fraction of the Blessing of the Lord... It's incromprehenable how Much There is More GOD Have in Store for HIS Children. But thanks be for HIS Unconditional Love, Grace, Peace, Free Salvation, Healing, Cleansing, ect! for both the Good and evil (who are yet to come to HIM), that HE has for Us 24/7, you have to Choose and Accept This For Yourself. Am tellin you, THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM IN ALL THE WORLD, NO ONE WHO WILL ACT ON THE BEHALF OF HIS CHILDREN WHO SEEK HIM DILIGENTLY IN PRAYER AND PETITION FAITHFULLY. THERE IS NONE LIKE MY ALMIGHTY GOD, YOU CAN SEARCH THE WHOLE WORLD YOURSELF, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL INTERCEDE FOR YOU AND GIVE YOU EVERLASTING JOY AND SO MUCH MORE. GOD BLESS YOU.

Fallen angels, disobedient spirits, can perform great wonders. God said that if any prophet claiming to speak on His behalf does a wonder or says something that does later happen, and tries to get the people to follow a different Way, then that is God allowing it and testing the people.
Religious definition takes away from the beauty of life. I absolutely love the idea that I am here relatively by accident. I love the notion that I dont owe fealty to an attention-seeking narcissistic deity. I love that my reasoning, and experiences can improve my overall interaction's with others and myself. God has nothing to do with my life, and I find his absence pure bliss.
@@cgaqui5593 Nothing happen's. Even if something did happen you wouldn't be conscious during it. Hoping for a "better" reality after death than the one your actually dealt whilst alive is very detrimental.
I think people misunderstand God by not knowing Him thoroughly. It's all a result of false assumptions based on limited in-depth knowledge, along with what the world has told them about Him. In order to understand God, you need to read the entire Bible. Not just a couple pages/sections and call it quits, but the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testament. It will take a while, but that is the way to understand as much as possible.
@@zaxbitterzen2178 Well assuming that God only gives you a better life after you die is just not true, I think you might be a little mistaken as to what the message of the Bible is.
Maybe only one religion has sufficient cumulative evidence. NO IRONY AT ALL. Intelligent people investigate each religion and will immediately recognize that one makes more sense than the others. They will eventually find that Jesus Christ did not come to establish a religion but rather a RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. Now, if only people would search honestly? At the end, Atheism offers nothing. No hope, no justice, just a false humility that they going to always search and research until they find. Interesting, they are always researching matter that already existed? They study stuff that cannot create itself. Unless there is a creator that is neither created but eternally existed? OK .. I GUESS I'M THE FOOL HERE. ATHEISM????? Keep on searching people , you are the "honest" ones ?
no. Christians, just like members of every other religion, do not search/research honestly for which religion is true. they simply accept the religion they were raised to believe in, and then go out and(with strong subjectivity and confirmation bias) seek evidence to support what they already believe, and evidence to reject what they don't believe. this is why 99.9% of people on earth believe in the god/religion of their parents and/or society they were raised in.
I really really hope someone asks about the word of faith movement & prosperity teaching. I would love to hear his answers. I believe it has driven maybe people from the true Jesus & has become a self fulfilling religion.

He totally did that to Christianity to the point were he can confidential say that on stage, classic apologetics.

Most would just fad from memory when only a couple people know about it. To those 15 thousand people that liked, this my heart goes out to you, you poor poor misguided people
The problem with Turek’s response is that he takes the Bible at face value when it says there were eye-witnesses to the resurrection. Also, I don’t think he ever mentions that we don’t really know who wrote the 4 gospels; also, we don’t have good reason to attribute them to The disciples of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
@@ffmmain8673 The irony is that apologists like Turek seemingly are able to apply critical thinking and skepticism when evaluating the supernatural/miracle claims of other religions. But all that goes out the window when they are asked to defend the supernatural/miracle claims of their religion.
What evidence does he have that Christian miracles are more relevant than any other belief systems relationship to miracles. This guy has a really simplistic view of life
He should've followed up with more questions about the supposed miracle of Buddha that the student brought up (e.g., when did documentation of these accounts about "the light" arise; what contradictions/agreements do the different accounts contain). The answer to these kinds of questions would illustrate how well the miracles of Jesus stack up against these other religions'. As it is, he's just wandering all over the place.
RandomUser123 clearly those Christians you heard THAT from didn’t do research or even ask questions and look for answers.God did say that we need a way to defend.

Other religions: "Miracle X happened". Frank Turek: "Do you have any evidence that happened?" Do you, Frank? Do you? The inability of some religious fanatics to reflect on their ideas and actions, is incredible.
Louis Cario No that’s not why it’s because people have harden their hearts or I’ve had something bad to them happen with in the church. They use lack of evidence as the last straw there’s plenty of evidence
It's not lack of evidence, it is lack of being satisfied, the flesh body rules the mind. The parable of the sower and the seed is a good example of explanation. The seed fell on several kinds of ground that was not conducive to growing adequate roots to sustain life. We have to learn how to overcome the flesh body by getting rid of the rocks and tilling the hard soil so the roots will allow the planting to flourish. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

I had a daoist friend in high school. He told me his master told him always to be unpredictable, so he told me a story-the only account of a man becoming a deity (which is the spiritual goal in daoism). One night the man was in his house, when there was an explosion of light and sound. When the neighbors checked on him, his house was destroyed and he and his dog had vanished. My friend asked me laughing, what do you think happened? Let me give you a hint, this occurred in the same century gunpowder was invented. I looked at him and he told me giggling “he blew himself up playing with gun powder and people thought he had become a deity!”. So I asked what he believed happened, and for great matter why he believed in daoism at all, going so far as to copy scriptures alone in his room for hours a day. He told me “what do you think I think” and left me at that.
As a Latter-Day Saint (Mormon), I find the simplistic way Dr. Turek rejects my beliefs to be consistent with a lot of his arguments: Simplify them and throw them away to make them seem not worth looking at.. he says he could make Golden plates in his garage, but could he produce a book like the Book of Mormon from those plates? Even if you don't believe it is true, this argument is so bogus. What Dr. Turek doesn't tell you is that Joseph Smith says he saw a vision fo the Father and the Son. How's that for a miracle? if we're so happy to believe the ancient texts of the bible, should we not at least look at similar witnesses and be fair to them.. of course not, because that undermines his arguments completely. Beware those who have clever arguments that reject the true things of God. "For they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". I'll still watch the videos as he says many interesting things but I would advise anyone reading this to filter the message and don't believe it wholesale. and by the way if there are false prohpets, they are there to confuse people so they don't see the true prophets... it's simple people, ask God what is right, That's why I'm a member of my faith. You can listen to people all day long, including people like me, but ultaimtely you need to find out for yourself without their clever words and influence.
I see your point, friend. We don't believe in all the same things and that's alright. I look at LDS, Catholics, Coptics, Baptists, Lutherans, etc to all be denominations of the same umbrella. We're all about Jesus the Son of God. That's all the common ground we need. There's no reason to simplify and discard each other.

I was asked that once. I brought up pharoah's magicians when Moses threw his staff down and it turned into a snake. The magicians threw their staffs down and they also turned into snakes. Ending with Moses's snakes devouring the other magicians. In other words other religions can counterfeit signs and miracles but they are nothing compared to our God.
It was more like Moses was saying that he had a bigger snake. Almost like their gods were just weaker than his. A bit of a snake measuring contest.

Therefore, they despise it and don't want it to be true, yet fear that it may be true."

Thanks bringing this out ... 'when the church becoming...about me and what God can give me... that is not Christianity'. Good reminder. Thank you.
I love that last little bit about the church being the church. That’s something I’ve been talking about for a couple of years now, and finally starting to understand what true Christianity looks like thanks to that.
Mr Turek is awesome! Just found this channel!
An excellent point which I wish Frank would have brought up (and I know he already knows this) and one that I think answers the doubts from the skeptic even better is that we can sidestep the entire question of "what about the miracles of other religions?" by simply pointing out the exclusivity inherent in the Christian religion.
Jesus Christ claims to be the ONLY WAY TO GOD and, in fact, ONE WITH that same God, not to mention that he claims to alone be "the truth and the life" (John 14:6)
So he claims to be God himself and the ONLY God there is.
So right there, even if we have miraculous supernatural things truly occurring in other religions, it stands to reason, that if Christ's claims are true (proven thru various means such as the resurrection, etc), then that automatically excludes ALL OTHER religions from offering anyone any hope of some sort of pleasant afterlife, meeting God, going to heaven, being true themselves in offering a different God, etc
So it does not matter whether the skeptic of Christianity can prove miraculous things occurring in other religions, so long as the Christian claims concerning Christ remains true and haven't been aptly defeated by the skeptic, then it follows that all other religions are false except for Christianity.
As a side note, from a Christian perspective, there could indeed seem to be miracles occurring in other religions with no natural explanation. This could simply be the work of demonic forces as we know from scripture that they do such fake miracles to deceive others.
So we needn't automatically assume we have to DISprove miracles of other religions, because, given my above argument, Christianity would remain the only true religion despite the occurrence of miracles in other religions.
This is why I believe the above argument is a stronger one than what Frank offered (certainly no discredit meant to him) because Frank's answer could be problematic if one can prove a miracle(s) as happening in another religion, whereas the above argument is immune to any such attack no matter whether a miracle occurred in another religion or not.
Wow miracles happen in your religion are miracles but when it happens in other religions then it's a demonic power. Ehmm you can put any religion there, same excuse. This type of mentality is the reason why people are running away from religions.
People chase for the peace of in the physical body more then the spiritual.
The physical body will soon fade away!
Most people are angry at religions (Christianity especially) because it doesn't allow them to continue to enjoy their favorite sins without guilt.
Why do religious people say this? People that don’t believe in a God is because lack of evidence or proof. That it. If someone could produce evidence for a specific God their would be only one God and a mass exodus towards that God. But there isn’t evidence, so all religions are faith based... ironic don’t you think.
Well, other religions also perform miracles and signs but the source of it's power is what makes the difference.
I hope you are not implying that their ‘source of power’ is satan.
@@BearFruit90 He has nothing to imply

Interesting how Christians will use evidence and skepticism to question other religions and their veracity but won't use it on their own. Also, since when is the "impressiveness" of a supposed supernatural event a measuring stick to tell if something was supernatural or not. Also, and lastly, nice ad hominem attack on the lady's friend at the end who became a Buddhist.
Christianity has been scrutinized and challenged since its inception and continues to this day
It has withstood and overcome them all
Atheists have run out of arguments to challenge Christianity.
Thank you so much Mr. Turek. God bless you
So basically - if a Christian sees a miracle it is true- don’t question how the the “miracle” could have happened naturally; if someone from another religion has a miracle question it a little and then dismiss it
Satan can also do miracles, seen throughout the bible (2 Corinthian 11:14). I have done many supernatural miracles. Is the miracle selfless? If not, it is from satan. For example, I could go and lay hands on the sick and they would heal in Jesus's name, but could never heal myself. All glory to Jesus. Selfless miracles = Godly miracles. Selfish miracles = satanic miracles
I hope you still see this. Idk about other denominations, but the Roman Catholic Church actually tries to disprove the miracle as having naturally occurred first. Each incident officially recognized by the Church goes under scrutiny from outside non-religious institutions or universities. Sometimes psychological examinations are done. In the case of stigmati for example, or people where bloody holes appear in the hands and feed (usually someone of deep faith), the person is kept under watchful eye to make sure they’re not self-harming or keeping the holes from healing up. In Lourdes,France where Mary appeared to a 14yr old girl a number of times back in 1858, though around 7000 healed cases have been claimed from those who have made the pilgrimage to the spot and have touched the waters that sprung up from where the encounters occurred after Mary directed her to drink from the muddy waters “meant for sinners,” (that’s an event you might find intriguing), only 70 have been confirmed as true bonafide unexplainable miracles. Many of the earlier healings lack the correct documentation for scientific review which means more could, but as of now, 70 is the official number of cases scrutinized, unexplainable, and sudden cures of things incurable.

@@DL-rl9bd Thank you, Zeus. You are indeed divine. LMFAO
Contending for validity of a religion based on whether or not there is supernatural power being displayed is irrelevant.
The reason why I say that is because satan can perform miracles as stated by God in the biblical account. Satan can also transform himself into other beings and therefore has the capacity to decieve with both power of the miraculous and visual stimulation.
I'm not saying any thing negative about Frank because I love him and think he is brilliant in apologetics. However his claim that other religions do not have valid miracles is false. Which is not to say they are equivalent to Christianity because they are not.
I said all of that because our faith in Christ should not be grounded in the miracles He did (sounds sketchy) but our faith should be grounded in trust in His WORDS and His authority, without evidence.
Why do I make that claim? I make that claim because Jesus Himself said many things relating to it but my two favorite are these:
1.) Blessed are those who believe in Me even thought they have never SEEN me. (That is a reference to satan's manifestations of power and miracles)
2.) My Sheep hear MY VOICE and will not follow another.(His VOICE and words hold more weight than seeing Him and His miracles.)
Now I also think it would help if I clarify that I am a bible believing Christian and I believe in and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Not like average western charismatics) I've seen hundreds of healings while praying with people in grocery stores, bus stops, places of employment and etc, and I believe those amazing miracles have added to my faith, but they are not what my faith is grounded on.
I hope I have given a good explanation.
Like Frank always shares that God said with His own words that He did the greatest miracle of all, God created the heavens and the earth. Even though I can't see God physically, I believe His words which lead me to see Him spiritually everyday. ❤

If you look into the gods and miracles of other religions...I mean REALLY look into them, you will see that their gods and their miracles were of demons. Their miracles would require sacrifices of virgins, babies, people cutting themselves, doing drugs, having sex, being intoxicated for or during their "religious" ceremonies. If you have depictions of their gods, eg: Egyptian, Sumerian, Hindu, etc, they resembled fallen angelic beings taking shape in the form of things or animals that the people worshipped. Early man had high intelligence in things lost to us but we also have intelligence not privily to them. So if an Egyptian feared the crocodile or alligator as some dirty (for whatever reason) the fallen angel would come as a human with a crocodile head. The christian God doesn't require such sacrifices. Only the sacrifice of one's will of self destruction unto the will of life through Christ.
That's deity not dirty...the spell check switched it on me.
what are these questions from? i’d like to watch the whole thing
Yes, 4:45ish Very true. Been there, done that. Went down that road for a loooong time and finally woke up and saw I was just trying to find religion that fit my own desires (compatibility) versus deep seated, true belief.
Your beginning comments on the religion of sex is something I've been thinking on for some time. What we are seeing here in my opinion is the newest incarnation of the goddess of sex. In the past she went by Inanna, then Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, Venus, and now she is an invisible obsession in our culture. It's just an old idol with a new paint job.
To be more accurate, it's an old demon...
It's incredibly smug and presumptuous to question the motives of someone you don't know- or even someone you do- because they don't believe the same things you do. Everyone has the right to be presumptuous, but don't assume others won't take notice or that it won't affect what they think of you and your own motives.
Absolutely. But with all thine getting, get understanding. Proverbs chapters 1-8.
The Christian argument is based on developing straw men: cherry picking points of attack, defaming characters and making arbitrary inferences and claims they cannot prove.

I'm a Christian, but I think you're setting people up to be deceived if you say that other religions aren't capable of miracles.
What about when Pharaoh's magicians duplicated Moses' miracles in Exodus 7:22 through the use of secret arts?
What about in Revelation 13:13 where it says that the 2nd Beast performed great signs and was able to make fire come from heaven?
"Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth."
The difference is that unlike the Holy Spirit, their miracles are limited and finite, but they're still within the realm of what people would consider "supernatural", which is what gives them the ability to deceive people who think that only Christ is capable of miracles.
That's a really good question and one that I've thought about in depth; until I came to the realisation that the Pharaohs were in fact pagans. They were idol worshipers (think Isis, Horus etc..). Their entire belief system was based on an idol religion; which is in turn based fundamentally on Satanism. So it is not implausible to conclude that some of the "miracles" they performed was the direct result of black magic inspired by Satan himself. Don't forget that Satan is the master deceiver.
@@MrAndyGA do u believe magic is real?

The biggest issue with cristian apologetics is that any argument against god it is followed by "you steal from god"
objective morality is simply impossible to argue without there being a God. If there is no God then there has to be moral relativity. But we do have strong moral absolutes- its a contradiction.

2:26. That's not the Miracle of Mormonism, far from it. Joseph Smith Claimed to have seen God and Christ together who told him to not join any church at the time.
Even though the bible says that if someone actually see's God that they "would surely die" and I feel like Joseph Smith was trying to elevate himself to be at the same level and importance as Moses who did spend time with God on the mountain of Zion where God revealed a small piece of himself to Moses and when Moses would come off the mountain witnesses said he would be glowing a bright white where Gods glory was radiating off of moses from just being in Gods presence and God wasn't even fully revealed only what Moses could comprehend
Frank thank 4 your explanation

Wisdom? Definitely not.
I was fairly impressed with Frank until I watched him with Christopher Hitchens. I was disappointed to watch him swallowed up by anger and frustration and argue with such emotion. I’m not anything close to an Atheist, on the contrary I strive to live true Christianity. A lot of what this guy says is solid, but beware of what he discounts. Beware of his “logical proofs” because they tend to be utterly besides the point. Faith is the principle from which you find the Power of God. It can be tested with reason and stand up to intellectual scrutiny.
About those “Gold Plates” and Mormonism. I’d recommend people look into that a much closer. Frank tries to trivialize them in a fashion similar to someone claiming “I can make bread and catch fish too!” Such an argument when understood in context is absurd. The object is not the miracle. Taking miracles on a case by case basis requires understanding the case. Read the testimonies of the witnesses to the plates. Pray and ask God and receive revelation for yourself. Contrary to what this man says, the canon is not closed. If so there is a great flaw in the scriptures because they say no such thing. YOU can receive revelation and God calls prophets today.
@Hineni John3:16 What's the context of that though?
Amen brother you make a great point. Let God do the debating. God bless you in the name of Lord Jesus the Messiah.

"What About the Miracles of Other Religions?"
Since Christianity hasn't proved any of it's miracles actually happened, Christianity is in the same boat as all other religions... none of them have proved any of their miracles have happened.
Well the fact that other non-biblical texts speak of it, is proof enough. The fact that for some reason these desert dwellers were able to change the entire political and religous authority of Europe and Africa is proof of something.
We have miracles happening today and do you know why secular sources don't record Jesus miracles? Because if they did record Jesus miracles, they would be affirming who he claimed to be, and also the Babylonian talmud record that he was being accused of sorcery, so to be acused of that means that he must have been doing something supernatural. And this also agrees with the Bible because in Mark is recorded that the Jews were telling people that Jesus did miracles by the power of Satan.
The only miracles that happened was when Jesus Christ came. There is prove because that is historical text- The Bible, the Quran, and the Torah all talk about Jesus. Even the Quran doesn't like Jesus, but they still talked abt him & that is true evidence that he exists and that he did these 'miracles'.

The worst torture someone can experience is reincarnation. Some say even worst than hell, why would you want to live on this earth over and over?
@Eduardo Martinez with my mental illnesses, my WORST result is having to go through this terrible life AGAIN!
Not quite sure I understand the logic of that statement. In concept. In theory reincarnation is a moment in time, generally scrubbed from one's memory, mostly. And then not experienced again until your next death.
Hell is a place of eternal final placement ,void of all things God. A place of absolutely no life, no "light" and no love.
And life on earth is nothing in comparison to the concept of the agony of existence without life.
People from.different times of our history, or people today of different cultures and exsistances only wish they could have been so lucky.
Mental illness and the pain of reincarnation. Really? 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental illness. And do you know what most all of them have in common. They believe their alone. Mental illness isn't all that uncommon anymore. Infant it's so common, I'm not convinced that it's just not another label or a typing built to suppress the mind that much more. When did we just stop calling it depression? And when was depression a new thing?
Walk the streets of any city and look for the lost souls. Who are people in so much pain everyday at the thought of living life, they can't wait until their next hi so they can forget the world that much more once again.
No I'm sorry. But I don't think we have a Mental illness problem, I don't even think we have a depression problem. I just think, that we live in a world where mankind has gotten too good ... and too comfortable with not growing up and feeling sorry for themselves is just the norm. It's our way of life. It's like using ur zodiac to instantly try to figure people out instead of getting to know them in the first place. It's excuses and it always has been. Everyone experiences pain and at one time or another everyone experiences depression. The difference is what you do with it. Do we use it as an excuse? Or move on and get on with our lives?..
Whenever Dr. Turek brings up the believer and disciple comparison I understand the wisdom. I am a believer I always have been. But I always struggled to be a disciple. A believer knows but a disciple follows. I am ashamed of myself...
I think that's something not just a few Christians struggle with, myself included of course.

What did that serve? Nothing. It did Nothing for any one. Much different than Jesus stance.

@@Mockturtlesoup1 That act symbolises the spiritual deadness of Israel. Just prior he tore the market on the inner court apart. This was a Two day event apparently. One the day it was cursed and two the day it withered. Which is significant as the type of tree was a symbol for Israel.
@@Mockturtlesoup1 also, from what i understand, it might not have been fig season, but the tree was supposed to have the buds/start of figs that are also edible. It was literally bearing no fruit, and therefore was a worthless fig tree, which he used as a metaphor in his teaching.

And Miracles are only a fraction of the Blessing of the Lord... It's incromprehenable how Much There is More GOD Have in Store for HIS Children. But thanks be for HIS Unconditional Love, Grace, Peace, Free Salvation, Healing, Cleansing, ect! for both the Good and evil (who are yet to come to HIM), that HE has for Us 24/7, you have to Choose and Accept This For Yourself.

I don't remember the verse but the New Testament mentions that false prophets can perform great miracles but that kind of miracle does not save souls.

God said that if any prophet claiming to speak on His behalf does a wonder or says something that does later happen, and tries to get the people to follow a different Way, then that is God allowing it and testing the people.

Religion in a nutshell
Maybe only one religion has sufficient cumulative evidence. NO IRONY AT ALL. Intelligent people investigate each religion and will immediately recognize that one makes more sense than the others. They will eventually find that Jesus Christ did not come to establish a religion but rather a RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
Now, if only people would search honestly?
At the end, Atheism offers nothing. No hope, no justice, just a false humility that they going to always search and research until they find.
Interesting, they are always researching matter that already existed? They study stuff that cannot create itself.
Unless there is a creator that is neither created but eternally existed?

SOLO CHRISTO yes you are the fool here all religions are the same, just a bed time story really
no. Christians, just like members of every other religion, do not search/research honestly for which religion is true. they simply accept the religion they were raised to believe in, and then go out and(with strong subjectivity and confirmation bias) seek evidence to support what they already believe, and evidence to reject what they don't believe.
this is why 99.9% of people on earth believe in the god/religion of their parents and/or society they were raised in.

It's not lack of evidence, it is lack of being satisfied, the flesh body rules the mind. The parable of the sower and the seed is a good example of explanation. The seed fell on several kinds of ground that was not conducive to growing adequate roots to sustain life. We have to learn how to overcome the flesh body by getting rid of the rocks and tilling the hard soil so the roots will allow the planting to flourish. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
We are special nation acces miracle directly from god our surrounding we nation who use intelect,science,councious etc..compare to previous nation.. miracle suppose strenghten faith..nation eg children of isreal witness and faced or receive bless from GOD yet kill prophet disobey them..different between beliver..either they grateful or not..creation all share similar traits..CREATED.. human didnt create their own self..we just utilize what god create.
Great! Be skeptical of the light people saw at Buddha's death, but don't question the light Paul saw that he thought was Jesus. Turek's Simplified Guide to Enlightenment: All religions are bogus except Christianity.
@@mikethearchangel11 Christianity claims that Augustus ordered all persons in the Roman Empire to register in cities that their ancient ancestors once lived in a thousand years earlier. It also says that when Jesus died all the dead came out of their graves and wandered the streets of Jerusalem. Or how about Herod slaughtering all boys two and under, believing he would kill someone that would grow up to become king of Israel? That is just a few of the biggest whoppers in the NT. How can anyone imagine Christianity to be a religion of honesty and facts?
Paul was a devout Jew, persecuting Christian's. He became Christian evangelist who died for his faith. The evidence is Paul's changed behaviour.
good question
I had a daoist friend in high school. He told me his master told him always to be unpredictable, so he told me a story-the only account of a man becoming a deity (which is the spiritual goal in daoism). One night the man was in his house, when there was an explosion of light and sound. When the neighbors checked on him, his house was destroyed and he and his dog had vanished. My friend asked me laughing, what do you think happened? Let me give you a hint, this occurred in the same century gunpowder was invented. I looked at him and he told me giggling “he blew himself up playing with gun powder and people thought he had become a deity!”. So I asked what he believed happened, and for great matter why he believed in daoism at all, going so far as to copy scriptures alone in his room for hours a day. He told me “what do you think I think” and left me at that.
I don’t get it. Please explain
As a Latter-Day Saint (Mormon), I find the simplistic way Dr. Turek rejects my beliefs to be consistent with a lot of his arguments: Simplify them and throw them away to make them seem not worth looking at.. he says he could make Golden plates in his garage, but could he produce a book like the Book of Mormon from those plates? Even if you don't believe it is true, this argument is so bogus. What Dr. Turek doesn't tell you is that Joseph Smith says he saw a vision fo the Father and the Son. How's that for a miracle? if we're so happy to believe the ancient texts of the bible, should we not at least look at similar witnesses and be fair to them.. of course not, because that undermines his arguments completely. Beware those who have clever arguments that reject the true things of God. "For they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". I'll still watch the videos as he says many interesting things but I would advise anyone reading this to filter the message and don't believe it wholesale. and by the way if there are false prohpets, they are there to confuse people so they don't see the true prophets... it's simple people, ask God what is right, That's why I'm a member of my faith. You can listen to people all day long, including people like me, but ultaimtely you need to find out for yourself without their clever words and influence.
I see your point, friend. We don't believe in all the same things and that's alright. I look at LDS, Catholics, Coptics, Baptists, Lutherans, etc to all be denominations of the same umbrella. We're all about Jesus the Son of God. That's all the common ground we need. There's no reason to simplify and discard each other.
He's a atheist but he believes in Buddha???
Many/most sects don't believe that Buddha was a god, only that he was an enlightened man.
@@timeshark8727 In one of the most storied miracles, the Buddha strode on a jeweled walkway suspended in mid-air while streams of water spouted and flames flashed from his body, shooting out to the very edge of the universe. ... That's the miraculous teaching of the Buddha."

This sounds like a god to me, I don't know to many enlightened men that can do this🤔
@@kennethbonney7638 it seems that someone is removing my posts from view a few minutes after I post them... so I'll shorten it.
I think its horrible of you to begin with a conclusion, cherry-pick a story that you think fits, make arguments based on ideas about the story that aren't from anyone in the religion and are instead you trying to make it fit your conclusion, and to pretend that everyone in every sect believes in the story you found as a historical account instead of any other interpretation.
Pretending to know what other people believe better than they do is dishonest and pointless. You can either accept what they claim to believe or you can be dishonest and wrong... your choice.
@@timeshark8727 I can honestly say I don't believe YOU😂
@@timeshark8727 Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is also venerated as a manifestation of God in Hinduism and the Bahá'í faith. Some Hindu texts regard Buddha as an avatar of the god Vishnu, who came to Earth to delude beings away from the Vedic religion. He is also regarded as a prophet by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
