Must be a terrible road to walk when a parent lost a child.. I can only hug you and give words of encouragement. 'This is the word of the Lord: we who are alive in Him and remain on earth when the Lord appears will by no means have an advantage over those who have already died, for both will rise together. For the Lord Himself will appear with the declaration of victory, the shout of an archangel, and the trumpet blast of God. He will descend from the heavenly realm and command those who are dead in Christ to rise first. Then we who are alive will join them, transported together in clouds to have an encounter with the Lord in the air, and we will be forever joined with the Lord. So encourage one another with these truths'. 1Thes 4:13-18

Honestly, this guy is one of the few apologists who I believe is truly saved.. With many others you see pride, absent from love for Christ. You see arguments, yet no thought or heart for Christ. He points to Christ, and not his opinion or argument. I usually don't like apologists, because of the pride you see coming from them, the way they look down on people who's eyes have not been opened, yet with him you can see he understands that it is only by grace that his eyes have been opened. I also loved how he didn't say that he believes in Christ because of great reasoning, arguments or scholastic evidences but because of the actual human evidence; the power of change that salvation brings. As Paul said, I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God unto salvation... it truly is powerful and not some dead believe that leaves you unchanged.

I wouldn't be quite so dismissive of apologists in general, but you do touch on a truth. Winning the argument against atheism is important in the sense that we have aeons of misinformation to correct. The culture has been at war against Christ for hundreds of years and we can't abandon our children to be at the mercies of these ravenous wolves that we call religious skeptics. That said, if what motivates the apologist is simply the desire to win the argument or make a name for himself, he's doing it for the wrong reason and it may turn out not to be helpful for his own spiritual well-being. "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" -- Matthew 7:21-23 We have to be on His side, not on ours.

That's like hearing an ignorant neighbor talking about another neighbor and buying into it, instead of going and meeting that neighbor for yourself, and forming your own opinion.

Suffering is like the rain, it falls on the just and unjust. God could minutely control it where it only falls on the unjust. But then the liberty He grants to humanity, would be sorely curtailed. We are free to err, but also free to win. Still in this journey called life we often make mistakes, often are in the wrong place, or just have a scale that must be balanced. And only God knows ALL the answers. This I believe, without God I would be LOST. Thankfully, I have Christ who leads me. Thank You Lord. Godspeed pilgrims.

I think most of his logic here is pretty poor, to be honest. Morality does have a rational basis - it's what happens when organisms like humans can recognise that the pain certain things cause in them will cause similar pain in others. It's about our brain-state, our emotions, our experiences and logic. To expect morality to be baked into the universe, even to inanimate objects a thousand light-years away, or to be "above" humanity, is silly. Morality is a human social concept. It's real, it's important, and it's a rational part of human life. The idea that the "atheist way" has problems is just silly. Atheism is just non-belief in theology. It doesn't have a specific way of dealing with suffering; there are atheist Buddhists, there are atheist drug addicts, there are atheist counsellors. It's like saying not-stamp-collecting is a bad hobby since it doesn't pass the time. Just illogical nonsense, I think. The Good God/Suffering problem does have a simple answer - there isn't a God.

The reason they wonder about suffering is because they want what they want and they want it now, instead of accepting God's Truth.

He can fix everything now, but that would mean destroying everything now.

John is very good at making up unconvincing answers, for which he knows he does not have to make any testable assertions since it is all magic. Fact is humanity survived tens of thousands of years without any of the current major religions and will continue to survive when they are long forgotten. As for the most difficult questions, there are many more difficult questions in each of the sciences. Like, how to reconcile gravity with QED, complete the standard model, and scientific explanation for consciousness. Not holding my breath, waiting for any of the thousands of gods to provide an answer.

Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father but through me.” Don’t trust in the universe, trust in the one who created the universe. Do not rely on your good works to get to Heaven. You’re a sinner just like the rest of us. You have one hope, not yourself, but Jesus Christ. Do not confuse blessings on earth with an indication of your salvation. Let’s not forget that Jesus lived a life with no home, and said that the poor will become rich and the rich will become poor. When you die, you will face a holy and just God, and he will give you justice based on your crimes. “The wages of sin is death”. He’s paying you death for what you’ve done in sinning against Him. Your only salvation is accepting the imputed righteousness from Christ Jesus.

There is hope when you feel hopeless, but where is the help when you feel helpless? What does one do when you continuously pray to God to show you the way and ask for help, but it doesn't come?

Well there's insufficient evidence a god exists in the first place, so what you're describing is exactly what we'd expect (falsehoods can provide hope, but not help). Know that the vast majority of problems you'll face in your life you _will_ overcome (all but the very last problem that finally ends you) or at least learn something from, so you'll emerge stronger having had the experience. (And that's how religion tries to exploit people: because for the majority of problems you'll eventually find a path that's right for you -- with or without a god -- but if you believe strongly in a god you'll wrongly attribute that to a god's involvement when it's simply how life works.)

The problem of evil is indeed a serious challenge to theism, however, as John lennox makes clear, it is, in many ways, a greater problem for atheism. The question points to morality and is not why such and such is evil but why is it evil? Without recourse to supernatural answer, athesim needs to be able to provide a mdoel for morality that does not reduce to fallacious appeals to force or number. Nothing is true simply because of how many people believe it. Also, to the atheist who believes it is up to the individual, it is worth noting that even the value of 1 is a number and so basing a moral code in that way is logically invalid.

Everyone knows there is a God. The evidence is all around us. In fact, the Creator designed the universe so that His many invisible attributes would be “clearly seen” in the things He made, so that we are “without excuse” (Romans 1:20).

First off, the "question of suffering" is NOT the hardest question we have to face. But, the question of suffering IS directly related and a result of the actual "hardest question". what is it? i will explain: In Genesis, when Adam and Eve rebelled against God and ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad, they were not merely eating from a random tree. it had a title. Titles are given to things of importance or significance. That Tree represented God's authority over mankind. In eating, they stated that THEY would decide right and wrong themselves. notice that i said "would". not "could". we were never given that ability to rule one another successfully. our problems of wars, violence, injustice, hunger, disease, death, etc. all prove that we cannot. Adam and Eve's rebellion led, eventually, to mankind's earthwide governments. therefore, the hardest question we have to ask ourselves is, "will i show myself a rebel also and choose to support Satan's system? will i show support by voting, joining the military, getting involved in politics, etc?" OR "will i follow the bible and trust that God will sanctify His name in the future?" that automatically answers your question of why there is suffering in the world.

Christianity and Judaism are both testable. I tested them both and came to the conclusion that I am Messiah, Shiloh, Joshua, the Branch. Quick question for those who think they truly understand these words: what does the word Shiloh have in common with the name Joshua? The answer to this is the reason that Jews expected the Savior Messiah to be named Joshua (yes, that's my name). Shiloh means something like "He for whom it is," as in, the one for whom the World was made. This is the result of a clearly 'Semitic' existential philosophizing, as in Job: All of this must have some purpose, and so, whoever fulfills that purpose must be the one for whom everything is made (this thinking is similar to some Mesopotamian concepts regarding kingship), and thus, that person is referred to as Shiloh. Now, in the El Amarna letters (if you don't know, go read), the Canaanites of middle 2nd millenium bce used the word ia-ši to mean "for me." Of course, "Joshua" conquered the Canaanites in the Hebrew myth. The glory of the conquering of Canaan was "for him," and so he was named "for me." The Assyrians used the same word, ia-ši with the same meaning. Hebrew scribes exiled in Assyria (a millennia after the claimed time of Joshua) would have noted this word and used it as a symbolic filler for the true history. The true history is preserved in the El Amarna letters, where Canaanite rulers are writing to the Pharaoh asking for his assistance in defending Canaan from invading 'Apiru, who eventually established themselves in Canaan around that time, taking many cities. The 'Apiru/Habiru/SA.GAZ were a class of "dusty" ('Apiru is cognate to Hebrew epher, meaning "dust") people who were known as murderers and thieves. Their history stretches back to Southern Mesopotamia, from which they eventually migrated to Canaan, exactly as the mythical Abraham. The only people attacking Canaanite cities around the time of "Joshua" were the 'Apiru, Hebrews. This is fairly apparent in the record, so the Hebrew descendants of those marauders rewrote history to paint themselves and their claim to Canaan and all of the Levant in a valid light, by way of this idea that God mandated their conquering of Canaan, because it was FOR JOSHUA. Indeed, it was FOR ME.

Please share with other people my two brief videos. Thank you!

@@chikkipop Hey, Dennis: It's no laughing matter that you believe that random mutations of DNA (accidents and chance) resulted in all life as we know it today. It would be easier to believe in the Tooth Fairy than to believe that all life forms today owe their existence to accidents and chance. That would be funny! Take care.

@@thetruthaboutscienceandgod6921 I see you have a limited repertoire, since this is exactly what you said elsewhere. You clearly don't understand evolution, which is by no means all "accident & chance." You ought to read a few science books, but more importantly, you ought to consider improving your character, without which you lack the integrity to examine the issue honestly. This is depressingly common among believers in ancient superstitions.

@@chikkipop Hey, Dennis: You wrote that my repertoire is limited. Well, the truth is the truth and there are only just so many ways to say that. Regarding the theory of evolution, if you've watched my first video, then you know that I state in there that if God did make use of evolution, that's certainly fine with me. Thus, your complaint about my view of evolution is really moot. The real focus of my two videos is on scientific facts contained in the Bible; facts that today's scientists agree with! Let's see if you can refute those facts. But, I'll give you a hint: You won't be able to refute them because facts are facts. Thank you for your comments. Take care.

If his mediocre defense of superstition is convincing to you, you're easily convinced, probably because you WANT to believe.

Jesus is my Lord and my God. He makes most sense than anything tangible and visible.

Adam and Eve brought pain into the picture - meaning Man - not God. We are the sinners - the gluttons, the avaricious, the Proud, the vain, the lascivious, the wrongdoers, the thieves, the sick minded… not God. It is not whether we believe in Him that matters- It is surprising that He still believes in us. But He does - and the right ones of us will always try out utmost to TRY to be there for Him in perfect symmetry to the degree to which He’s there for us… We raise our lives to the love of Him.

It's very difficult to believe that a person created the universe. But I can't think of any other possibilities. So it must be true.

Someone won’t hear this message unless someone tells it. The Great Commission… it’s what too many Christians have forgotten. In fact, too many have become recluse Christians out of fear and global laziness. What if Jesus and His disciples were that way?! As a brilliant yet poor and desperate woman in Africa once said, “after you pray… move your feet”.

He nailed it spot on. Too many times the world is taught an aversion to true Christianity, and John Lennox got it exactly. I am not afraid of the Gospel and Word of our Lord Jesus Christ, because our Lord makes the way where therr is no other way and point of being. Listen to this. What a testament to what it really means. Mr. John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford.

Lennox is very impressive. It would have been interesting to hear him talk with Cornelius Van Til.
