Hearing that you were friends with the goths and nerds in high school made me smile.. As an emo/alternative/nerdy Christian... I see you as someone who I'd be friends with too.. Lol my type of people still love you.
Inspiring Philosophy, Mike Winger, Testify, Hugh Ross and Dr. Peter J. Williams are very impressive minds and Christians. Peace be with you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Love this brother in Christ 💜🙏 very interesting to hear more about him. Thank you.
Michael Jones is such a great help not only to people with questions but other apologists... awesome person!

Appreciate the interview! Fan of IP and interesting to hear his background/ story.
Love this brother so much! @InspiringPhilosophy and truly so grateful for his work!
This is an awesome interview I would love to see more with IP
This is kinda sad, thank goodness IP grew up as an inspiration and not as a hate driven being because I would've grown further astray from good from an experience like that. Even worse when it is at church.
If IP smiles in a video, you must make that the thumbnail 😁

My thoughts exactly
One thing I've been thinking about is where does the conviction of the Holy Ghost take place in stories like Mike's? If people of times past "felt" the Holy Ghost, then there's no stopping people from ANY worldview "feeling" their in the right. Wiccans, etc., would maybe say that they can "feel" the spirit world. Is it wrong to only use reasoning? Is the reasoning a form of conviction? I'm so curious.
I am an Orthodox Christian, and Michael is a Professor.... PS nice if could make a youtube ''is there any ''true'' credence and eucharist truth. Both are essential in Orthodox Chrisitanity, and explain how so many miracles are present in OC compared to Catholics and Prothestants ? Is there any relevance to that?

Miracles are present in Orthodox (both Eastern and Oriental) and in the Catholic Church. Oil from the tomb of St. Nicholas is a new one I just heard of -- and he is saint in both churches. But it is not surprising, because we each and all have the apostolic priesthood and the huge miracle, every Divine Liturgy, of partaking of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus our Lord and Savior!!
I got beat up in church too so I know the feeling.

Dear Kern Jeremiah, thank you for your faithfulness in seeking Jesus despite the evil of those who claimed to belong to Him. You are inmy prayers.
In reference to the small bit about Christian music, I'd love to see an in depth conversation about this. To me, there was always good Christian music, especially in the black/gospel circles. It seems a lot of negative views on Christian music are referencing either the mid/late-80's Integrity stuff or the cheezy CCM of the early/mid 2000's; both of which were small samples of Christian music which has spanned so many centuries, cultures, and genres.

I don't put up a tree because I know having certain objects can invite demons in. When it comes up and it did I had to tell people this is my salvation, work your own out with fear and trembling. I tried very hard for it not to come up. I'd be very interested in learning his view on the origins of these things. I'd like to put up a tree but if it will invite a demon no thank you.

God, "the do nothing King!"
“Divine wrath”? Heaven and hell!? C’mon man, we know these ideas doesn’t come from a loving God. How we suppose to love God, if God “hates sin” and think we must be saved from it by letting His son die? It’s rather people that hate sin, because they long to be perfect as their Heavenly Father is perfect. If you heard about that there was a war in heaven, then you can kind of tell that it’s not perfect.

Oh so you parents teaching you discipline and to earn stuff by Hard work is not loving? In that case anything you own is mine "why"? Well because thats what I said. Actually guess what im gonna go get me some money free right now from the bank With having no job or way to actually earn it justly "why"? Well because I said so. You sound like a little kid right now. The same way of thinking you have right now is the same way Adam and eve thought, that by eating from the fruit of the tree of Good and evil the would become just like God. Understand that you or me arent the creator of his world universe you didnt put the hard work nor did I we arent the authors of this reality. Its the being who made it "why?"Thats for God to answer not me. The same way our parents punish us for our wrong doings because we said so is basically for our own good. Because in the long run it could affect us and guess what? God said dont eat from the tree and we ate anyways and God is so but just so loving he FORGIVES US by sending hes son to SUFFER and DIE thanks to our disobedience and now we have Gods trust to go get to infinite happiness and all the good of above, "how?" By just trusting him....by just following hes foot steps like the father he is. Just put that in mind brother... is that really not loving? Did hes suffering and death really mean nothing to you? Does he really need to put you above him so you can just get a inch of your trust? Theres nothing wrong with having doubts and being skeptical. But are you really going to distrust your own parents the rest of your life? Sometimes in life the people in our life who say we are wrong dont do it for a bad cause...instead.... its cuz they dont want you to be in a bad situation for your own well being. Not everyone is good but...not everyone has a heart of stone... Jesús is the first example of that and we can be like him each Day... That right there friend is the beauty of the religión called. 💫❤Christianity❤💫

@@jesusirizarryrodriguez835 Jesus didn’t save anyone by dying on the cross. Rather He may have saved people by revealing God’s true love to them, even while He was on the cross; He shown mercy and compassion to His mortal enemies, while they mocked and ridiculed Jesus on the cross, said He; “Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do.” And it’s this divine mercy and compassion, which people can freely reject, but if they accept, they also take trust in God. We shouldn’t accept atonement, that was already imposed upon us, because then we can only get to choose to respond. This is also anti-Free Will and goes against God’s nature, who is Free Willed Himself in the Absolute sense.
