Arrogant beyond belief ..... ! ?

Lennox is pretty damn sure I think that he is going to be accepted by his God ....

Great talk! However, there are some key points that Dr Keller misses about Buddhism: Bodhicitta and Compassion: Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes Bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment, which is a compassionate aspiration to help all sentient beings awaken to their own Buddha-nature. It’s not an individualistic pursuit of detachment but a profound commitment to the liberation of all beings. Rather than simply detaching from desires, the practitioner develops universal compassion and works tirelessly to alleviate suffering. Buddha-Nature: In Mahayana, everyone has Buddha-nature, which is the inherent potential for enlightenment. This is not based on hope in the Christian sense (a future-oriented expectation) but on the recognition of an intrinsic truth. Keller’s framing of Buddhism as fundamentally rooted in detachment overlooks the affirmative, active pursuit of realizing this truth within oneself and others. Engaged Practice: Mahayana Buddhism also advocates for engaged practice, where compassion translates into concrete actions in the world. The Bodhisattva ideal involves working actively in samsara (the cycle of suffering) to help others realize their enlightened nature. This approach emphasizes interconnectedness rather than a withdrawal from the world, countering the idea that Buddhism is solely about escaping or detaching. Hope vs. Awakening: Where Christianity centers hope on a personal relationship with a divine, personal God and an afterlife, Mahayana Buddhism focuses on awakening to the nature of reality, which includes realizing the impermanence and interdependence of all things. The pursuit of enlightenment is not contingent on faith in a future event but on the direct experience of truth here and now. Middle Way: Mahayana Buddhism also advocates the Middle Way, which avoids extremes such as blind optimism or despair. Hope, from this perspective, could be viewed as an extreme attachment to a particular outcome or vision of the future. Instead, Buddhists strive for equanimity, accepting the impermanent nature of existence and focusing on compassionate action in the present moment without clinging to specific hopes or fears for the future.

God has certainly made me and the people around me a better in every way I can think of. If God were a delusion, then that's a delusion I am grateful to have. Religious extremism is something to work on though. Not sure if it's just the instruction of law they dislike too. Something I once hated myself, but now I have found it's because of the instruction that I have a profound love of God. Just thoughts!

An amazing presentation that should be at least required if not offered in every Public and private School, Institution of Higher Learning and Political Party.

This is a superb lecture .I want to know whether Christianity is a religion or more than that

John lenox over john lennon

This speech gave me chills. Wow. Amazing.

Not at all. This person was a con-artist. I guarantee it. And I sat through a decent amount of his sermons. Very smug all the time. And he lived in a luxury condo all the while being surrounded by thousands of homeless New Yorkers. No different from a Joel Osteen or a Rick Warren.This person was actually the epitome of self-righteousness, self- centeredness.

Cant stop listening to John, what a gift of a person.

Its so simple all the historic proof of God except for the crossing of the red sea is found in the earth in the Cairo delta region. Just the atheist assumption that all life came from non life is absurt or reason came from non reason and so on. So the absurdity of those points makes God relevant. Even the old chinese history says they come out of the great scattering from the west. Do they mean the scattering after the tower of babel?

Is DICK DORK relevant?

No one will say God is irrelevant one second after taking their last breath, when that happens, your human soul WILL go to one of two places for all of eternity.

Few probably heard of this wonderful gentleman in the US but I am glad I found him. We have a great online Bible study group that meets every Thursday night on Yuck Tube. So happens that some of our group also listens to Mr. Lennox. Because he is far more knowledgeable of the scripture than 99% of US pastors we enjoy him. Our leader Dr. Randy White is in the same class as this excellent man. Note should anyone look up our class our leader has a shaved head and face. There’s several others with his same name in the Bible study business however none of them are like him. Most are Kingdom now Covent Theology, we are Pauline Grace gospel which is not popular and never has been but its more literal and true to the text

Atheists are always angry about Christians. Why? Atheists fear judgment.

So good...👍👍

Hmmm look n witness wisdom from this man indeed he knows who GOD is n he has received the wisdom of THY CREATOR THBE GOD ALMIGHTY. GOD bless you MR Lennox

❤ p

If it is a head thing that with time can be remedied, however if it is a heart thing that is an ultimate choice... "Only a fool say's in their heart, there is no God" it means literally each person knows independent of any conveyance of God.. it is written upon the heart of EVERY man..mock, chide many have , many have regretted that, and many have came to the logical conclusion that God indeed exists.. how can it be otherwise? that takes so much faith that something so intrinsically designed for specific purposes both broad and narrow was by mere chance.. that's a heart issue not a head issue...

Ladies should know MODESTY!!! is taught in the Bible.

"I can't prove my wife loves me, but I'd stake my life on it..." made me weep.

If God *designed* / created man "in his image" why have we humans got vestigial tails?

I am a mathematician with a science background. I say that God is still important!!! When we are down or need hope, religion is so important!!!

Just because these people speak eloquently and make a good case for there religion. All the other religions therefore cannot be true . Because if you read other Holly books they are completely different. Have different standards and have no resemblance to any of the other religions books

What is Dr. Lennox video or podcast thanks ❤

The fool has said in his heart; there is God. The most intricate time piece known to man….. The highest form of living creature capable of reason, right, wrong, mistakes and very complicated corrections is merely a happenstance! Both a genius and an idiot have no creator, no designer, no one to whom either is accountable. There is then, no justice, no consequence, no law and no enforcement. Both the enlightened and the delusional can only be rewarded apart from morality or immorality. Again, the fool has said; There is no God. He is dead in his sins and trespasses. He is dead in his spirit while God IS spirit, The evidence being all creation, declares His glory and His majesty which cannot be discerned by the natural mind of either the genius or the idiot. Jesus told Nicodemus Unless you are born of both water and of spirit you cannot see the kingdom of God. To truly know God is not merely to believe but to be obedient and being obedient, to be holy. God says; “Be ye holy, for I AM holy……”

Dr. Lennox is one of my favorite apologists. His thinking is (in my view) very clear, concise and incisive.

"GOD TAKES the initiative"... and comes to me.... What other religion does this in this world? Answer: None. Wr have Full-Free-Will...we don't "Earn" Heaven for Eternity"...God's GRACE through Jesus Christ...gets us JOME to where we belong...we don't earn HEAVEN. All other religions cause one to earn Dedemption. Cheers...great speech...Love to All.

Let God correct you. Pray for that. Pleading for soul salvation, directions. Clarity of heart, not delusional fakery of hell hatred.

please enable subtitles, please please please

Unlike God or whoever the reader thinks as the Creator , these so called professors need to dig into every bit of straw in their puny reservoir of knowledge which they often construe as intelligence to diminish God every opportunity they get. As far as i can see, that is the image they want to project in public but i wonder if in each moment of solitude they never stop searching and questioning their belief. Haven’t they realized that GOD does not need to be proven and FAITH is enough for every person to keep his belief in HIM?

Faith is the denial of knowledge. There are obviously no magical invisible gods.

Every night I pray that I will wake up with a six-pack. Every morning I am disappointed. What am I doing wrong ?

Its this WORLD🌍court or school 🏫 😢?

Evil exists because God exists. If there was no God there would be no evil. Just like darkness is the absence of light and cold is the absence of heat, evil is the absence of God, but if God didn't exist we would not recognize evil, we would just participate in it!

Actually, the Dao Tao isn't merit, but available. Buddhism has the dharmaka. It's available. Those are two major foundations. This is Lennox's version. And Universities are Christian spiritual inventions.

I am enjoying the lecture & intellect but why the hell is the class full of Chinese & no Not Chinese anywhere in view? I don't like being dominated but Chinese interests. Are they desperate for light as Chinese govt doesn't allow religions or what? God for them if so, but how to trust them -Chinada is suspicious.

Yes god is irrelevant. And imaginary too.

Beautiful. Greetings from the Philippines.. E

The average Christian spends one hour per week attending some kind of religious service. The rest of the time they are immersed in living a secular life. I guess religion is not very relevant in their life overall.

Have you ever wondered why these religious and Christian YT channels are popping up like cockroaches? It's because religion is on the wane and Christian fanatics are desperate to save their irrational beliefs. They are relegated to posting crappy videos on social media because they can't get a legitimate platform in the mainstream culture. And why is that? Because technological societies are becoming increasingly secular, humanist, and scientific. Take America for example, the vast majority of our systems, institutions, and disciplines are secular not religious. Examples? science, medicine, healthcare, insurance, communication, the internet, technology, history, education, medicine, politics, social welfare, monetary structure, economics, transportation, manufacturing, construction, shipping, retail, social media, etc. It is absurd to call America a Christian nation when every major system is secular in nature. Religious life plays a miniscule role in our daily life dominated by secularism.

Profassor Docter for you as a Scientists you better know how big huge Unirerse is but Universe has limitations but for your information God made the Universe therefore God is not a oart of Universe rsther God is not a part of Universe and God is out inside Universe because God made the Unirverse therefore God cant be in Universe
