Me too Christi!

Can’t wait more!

More ad hominem attacks without evidence? Seems to be a habit with you...

You are saying Greg is a "fly by night" hack?? What is your evidence? Are you implying he doesn't know what he's talking about?? Tell us where you believe his knowledge is lacking...

There is are guarantees to this or any other approach. Use it as a starting point. And if it does not go anywhere try something else. Always in prayer and using Grace and Wisdom. But Do Something! lol

If someone tells you they have already heard The Good News, will you leave them alone?

Apologist techniques generally don't work in real life on intelligent adults. I specify 'adults' not because younger people may not be just as intelligent, but because the young are more likely to be intimidated by manipulative tactics, and/or be persuaded by appeals to fear, emotion etc.

Can you imagine a place where murder and theft are legal? Of course we have laws that express a society's values. California is a good example of how things can fall apart. We haven't seen the end yet in California.

@@samuelbell3281 You confuse morality with order. Every society has laws against physical harm and varying degrees of property rights. That's not legislating morality and the fact you don't know the difference shows why we are where we are now. You are seeking answers from government, not God. You have rejected the Holy Spirit like the Jews rejected Christ and like Adam and Eve rejected God the father. You've made man 3 for 3.

@cba4389 you may be confusing morality with theism. A society agrees on what is right and wrong ( morality) and passes laws to deal with that. And no, I don't look to government for the answers. In many cases government has made things worse. God is who I follow.

@@samuelbell3281 No. A Christian society passes laws on physical harm and property like any other society and it ends there. You are looking to the government for answers because laws come from the government. The fallen church doesn't want any responsibility for changing lives and looks to the government to do it.

@cba4389 Why do societies pass laws that deal with physical harm, etc? That society thinks that whatever they are outlawing is wrong. That's a reflection of that society's moral code. It happens that most Western societies that that moral code is based on Judeo-Christian ethics. That doesn't mean that you have to be a Christian or Jew to believe that murder is wrong. Nor does that mean that government gives you salvation. Laws reflect the moral code of that society. Many people (me included) draw their morality from God.

Please provide examples of the verses you are talking about and which translations show opposite meanings.

NASB, ESV, NIV, NKJV should all be pretty solid - you can always compare them and there are tools online to explore the original words and meanings if you come to a word that seems to be rendered differently in different translations. No single English version is going to be a perfect translation of the original language.

You have Any "physical" evidence for Genghis Kahn? Or Aristotle? Or Alexander the Great?

@@ACE-pm3gh Lots of physical evidence for Alexander. Siege works, ramps, coinage in his lifetime, contemporary dated public monuments. Got anything for Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua etc? If you have no physical evidence that your alleged JC was at least a living physical man then what are we to think of your greater claims that he was divine?

@@robertlight5227 none of what you presented as physical evidence can successfully attest to a human named Alexander the Great anymore than the evidence pointing to Jesus. The monopoly man has his own money too, that doesn't prove he is real. statues don't prove human existence either, people made all kinds of statues dedicated to mythical gods...are you implying that makes them real? Mickey mouse has a huge statue dated contemporarily lol...Military and civil works have been attributed to Zeus, Mars and many other mythical beings by the Greeks, Are you implying that makes them real also? None of what you presented can actually attest that Alexander the Great was an actual being anymore than the writings of the new testament authors and witnesses attest to the existence of the literal human called Jesus of Nazareth. And you don't think there is any recorded evidence of Jesus Christ outside of the Bible? If you reject the attestations of Jesus, you must reject the attestations written about Alexander the Great. There are sources outside the Biblical compilation...all mentioning this being that people called Jesus. Unless you are just throwing out the notion that dozens of the most influential people in the middle East and Western Europe were all continuing on the fairy tale of this make believe human called Jesus. Even the people that had absolutely nothing to gain by mentioning him understood he existed, even if they didn't believe in his deity. This real life human Jesus claimed all authority and He believed in the law and prophets so Abraham Isaac and Jacob seem to be covered by Jesus. "Adam and Eve" doesn't have to be a literal undertaking if you understood anything about Hebrew or Aramaic language. It's especially clear when you have an understanding of the second temple period Judaism why the author was giving a polemic comparison to the mythical stories surrounding the Israelites. It's a narrative describing THE REAL GOD of creation in comparison to the mythology of the pagans surrounding them at the time it was written. It's pretty easy to notice all the differences when you study pagan belief systems and compare them to the Word of God. The difference is in the details and it makes a literal world of difference 😂 but I already know you will have some snide remark showing your lack of understanding. Genesis doesn't claim there was a literal talking snake in a literal garden with a literal tree that can kill you or make you live forever..that's what the profane and uneducated assume and read into the text.

@@robertlight5227 do you have any pictures or videos or eye witnesses accounts of Genghis Kahn?

500+ eyewitnesses

@@loriinkrot8541 Prove it. It is just a claim from an unknown writer.

@@robertlight5227 what physical evidence would convince you that Jesus was resurrected?

@@millionairemafia9610 Not much. I mean really King Tut left his body. Good enough for me. A grave site with names and bones wd be nice. Caesar and Alexander left us battle sites and coinage. It wd be nicer if Mr Koukl wd respond.

@@robertlight5227 but how would Jesus leave a body if he was resurrected? You say that would be good enough for you, but that would actually debunk the entire resurrection in the first place, wouldn't it?

If that's your heart in approaching evangelism, I hope you ask God to it before you open your mouth.

@@lisasachleben1655 Greg himself called them "strategies" and "tactics"...just like a salesman would.

He's talking about tactics to beginning a conversation, developing relationships, and planting seeds. There's nothing wrong with that.

@@samuelbell3281 No, it's a strategy of attack.
