Such a wonderful testimony...than you and thank you Jesus❤

The Serpent and Jesus were correct ... we don't ever die. Life was just a mock execution for our past incarnation misdeeds. Eventually, at the height of our suffering and decrepit old age, God will say "Okay, you've suffered enough. Your sentence is suspended." And at that point, we'll begin aging backwards and be restored to our 19-year-old glory.

Science has preconditions that only make sense on Christianity. When any sceptic and/or science minded individual, any deep thinker thinks things through, they come to Christ.

Religion must be a wonderful comfort blanket. No wonder its so popular.

Her, "Not blaming Beethoven" analogy is very insightful, I have shared that with others.

I was not liking this at all and then the doc was like, “Gandalf planned it.” Gandalf did not plan it. Also feels like these guys haven’t read the complete works. Not even the silmarillion

AMEN!!!!!!!God Bless you Stephen and your family, and Jana and family!!!

All glory to our wonderful God; Jesus did pay it all, what more can God do for humanity, the answer is NOTHING!

I really enjoyed Sharon’s testimony. Christians can be intelligent too!

C.S. Lewis? Never read any of his stuff. Chronicles of Narnia? "Show Your Face" or something? He's not even talked about in the western philosophy anthologies I read. Just Soren Kierkegaard.

1998: "Look at me, folks! I'm wasting my new immigrant money on a new childish hobby of mine, here in Frank B. Robinson's swamp of polio? But don't worry ... I'll be inventing Facebook only 6 years from now".

My weird college story? In 1997, as a dropout and new immigrant, I developed a sudden new hobby and found myself in a pharmacy/basement hobby store once owned by Frank B. Robinson - the biggest cult leader in Pacific Northwest history. I was familiar with his house in town by sight.

Trump wants to seize the Profitt House (Greenland)? Think again. It's a new historical site. Even CBS has now defected.

Oh, will the ironies and double-standards never cease? Bowe Bergdahl's crazy attorney sister (whom he always got along with, while very few others did) could've been a convicted violent felon in 1993. Domestic battery against her boyfriend in Morgan Hill, CA.

God explicitly answered my questions when I needed it the most. I wish I had believed without needing that, but I’m grateful He has shown me what He wanted for me. Jesus is awesome, literally. Praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Thanks to the institute for bringing a testimony of a life. I follow nate and leave comments on some of the topics he introduces. I easily forget about what events in a life that shaped the way that person thinks. A testimony that ends with a person coming to faith in Christ is evidence of the power of God to transform a life. From serving themselves and the devil, to serving their creator, the purpose fir which they were created. Amen

Thank you for telling some of your story Nate. I've been watching your channel for about a year and you've been very helpful for me with my stubborn personality in understanding the Gospel. God bless you and God bless you, Miss Harmon.

Huge!

Meant to mention-I'm here after watching on NRB.

Very much appreciate this college like but fully understandable presentation!

I had listened to the Knowing and Doing Podcast and I am mind blown by material / content. I am eager to read more, watch more, listen more and grow my faith and serve my community & family

Thanks for sharing

I would love to share the testimony God has given me. 29 arrests, radically saved and delivered in 2001.

The Living Jesus is still on His mission to save us and He fights for us and pursues us. I truly believe that Jesus was guiding you to faith and also guiding you through Christians that were open to Him using them to witness to you. Halleluja that He never gives up on us.

God continue to bless you, Daniel. I'm so excited for you and your journey going forward. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm hoping that some of my family members will hear this and give some thought to their beliefs.

Heh, heh. I love these "former atheist" videos. I don't know if any of them are true or not, and I don't care. I'm an atheist because I've never seen even *one* piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that any of your gods - the gods various theists claim exist - are actually real, rather than just imaginary. That's it. *I don't believe you, because you don't seem to have anything distinguishable from wishful-thinking backing up your religious claims.* Again, that's it. Now, it would probably take more than one to convince me, sure. But *one specific example* would be a nice start. And when you don't have even *one,* I can't even take your religious beliefs _seriously,_ let alone believe that stuff myself. The rest of this is just silly. I don't _care_ if someone else used to be an atheist. That's a very popular claim among theists, of course. Apparently, you think that matters (although almost all of those people - Christian and Muslim alike - admit that they just returned to the religion of their childhood). Well, it doesn't matter to me, one way or another. Why would it? Atheism can't get you to "objective morality"? Um,... OK, so what? Theism can't, either, as far as I can tell, but... so what? Do you have anything _other_ than word-games backing up your claims? The "logical flaws of atheism"? Heh, heh. What's "logically flawed" about me not believing you? Stories aren't always true. Claims aren't always true. If you've got nothing distinguishable from wishful-thinking backing up your claims, how _can_ I believe you? _You_ don't automatically believe every claim you hear, do you? Only the ones you _want_ to be true, I suppose? _"Former atheist Daniel was seeking substantive answers to his looming questions that simple faith did not seem to provide. Propelled into a godless worldview, he became passionately convinced that atheism provided the clarity and answers he needed."_ Heh, heh. Can't you see how funny that whole thing is? That's like a parody of religious thinking. It's so dumb, it's hilarious! I mean, obviously, I don't know if it's true or not, but it's so ridiculously clueless, it's funny. First, poor old Daniel was raised Christian. Well, of course he was. He was indoctrinated with this stuff as a child. And you know, it's not even _slightly_ surprising that he believes the same religion as an adult that he was taught to believe as a child. That's _normal._ That's almost always how it works. (Yes, converts exist - in every direction - but they're relatively rare.) Now, I disagree about faith not being able to answer questions. Faith can answer _anything,_ as long as you don't care whether or not the answer is true. Oh, you said "substantive answers." OK, who knows? That's subjective. But, in general, answers are easy as long as you don't care whether or not the answer is _true._ But atheism providing "the clarity and answers" he wanted? Heh, heh. What are you _talking_ about? Atheism is just the lack of belief in a god or gods. Does your lack of belief in magic leprechauns provide "the clarity and answers" _you_ want? I'm sorry, but this is just _so_ silly.

Stay until the end. Great video. 👍🏿

Either Christ, or wallowing in mud.

Thank you for this testament of Grace Dr. 😊❤

Science continues to confirm God's existence. It is and always will be a symbiotic relationship of knowledge discovered dovetailing with Gods Word in Scripture and in nature. The two books are confirmed with humans scientific endeavoring to seek Truth for those who need that kind of confirmation .

Enjoying Tactics very much. 😊

Great course. Is this equal to a certificate or diploma or neither. Please revert.

Very much enjoying this course. Thank you Dr

Great logic.

Thank you Art. Great Apologetics foundation. Especially the Buddhism solution of decapitation desire vs the purification of desire in God. Gold standard there. Leave Buddhism behind right there sir. Great great teaching. Thank you!

Thank you! I truly enjoyed this! ❤

Fair

The drum set in the background give me pause, especially since there is no sound containment surrounding them. That said, this was a very worthwhile message. Evangelicalism in North America is slipping into a bourgeois, non- introspective, anti-intellectual, consumerist form of fundamentalism. Thinking is anathema. It is threatening to the status-quo.

My son was really touched by Come Jesus Come! It brought him closer to the Lord before he passed away in March!

Great video! Thx! 🙏🏼 💯✅ Job’s story has helped me many times. I thank God for the Bible, and being able to read the painful stories that happen to many people before us. Before the printing press in the 1500’s…nobody had a Bible to draw on. We are blessed today! Thank you Jesus!

She doesn’t like mere Christianity!!!!! Heretic. lol jk

This has given me so much comfort. Just what I needed to hear because I have been struggling with unrelenting chronic nerve and muscle pain for years, but in the last 2 years I had been wishing God would take me home. I did not take care of my body over the years, suffering with anorexia since age 12 and I am 51 now and still struggle with this sin. I have gotten angry with God because I cannot do this on my own and I was thinking, where is His grace to help me through this suffering. Why??? Then I was thinking this is just punishment for the years of trying to control my own life. Feeling hopeless and then having daily panic attacks. I need to hold on and not let my pain and suffering get in the way of my relationship with the Lord. I had stopped praying for healing and just thought that this is my fault, so God will not help or heal me.

Thank you @Jennifer Rothschild for shifting and broadening the question.

What an inspirational woman! Lovely.

Faith & abiding in His Presence.

Matthew Mullins says he's not a biblical scholar, but a literary critic and a literature professor. Of course that's true. However, like CS Lewis, I think Mullins brings an insightful literary eye - intelligence and knowledge and experience - to bear on how to read and understand and love the Bible. Indeed, if I can say so humbly and respectfully, most biblical scholars don't do what Mullins does; most biblical scholars don't have a proper taste for the literary aspects of Scripture. In this respect, it's very helpful to read Mullins' book Enjoying the Bible, then move onto reading books in the field of biblical theology. Biblical theology is primarily about tracing the main storyline of redemption along with many other storylines (e.g. the temple, atonement, the Messiah) across a book or books of the Bible or across the entire Bible. For example, biblical theology looks at how the story of redemption unfolds from Genesis to Revelation. As such, Mullins' book complements the biblical theological work of scholars like Don Carson, Tom Schreiner, Greg Beale, T. Desmond Alexander, L. Michael Morales, Mitchell Chase, Jim Hamilton, Graeme Goldsworthy, and others. Mullins' book whets one's appetite for knowing and living and loving the Word of God. May Mullins prove a blessing to many! 😊 Edit. A good next book to read after Mullins' Enjoying the Bible is The Dawning of Redemption: The Story of the Pentateuch and the Hope of the Gospel by Ian Vaillancourt. 😊

That joke about cloning Luis and Tolkien, and bringing them back to life made me absolutely lose it😂😂😂😭😭😭 so funny, it’s so against what either of them would probably want. 😂

Yeshua is on the move

Excellent interview with one of my favorite authors Peter Kreeft. I agree that Mere Christianity had a big impact on growing my Christian faith.
