Oxford Mathematician DESTROYS Atheism (15 Minute Brilliancy!)

John Lennox delivers a powerful presentation on the existence of God and the absurdity of Atheism. Best of all, he brings the topic right down to the place where the shadow of the cross falls on an empty tomb. To the mystery of mysteries & the Hope of Glory!

Romans 10:9 - "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you WILL be saved."

Godhead The first article of faith of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints states, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.” These three beings make up the Godhead. They preside over this world and all other creations of our Father in Heaven. Latter-day Saints view the members of the Godhead in a manner that corresponds in a number of ways with the views of others in the Christian world, but with significant differences. Latter-day Saints pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. But where Latter-day Saints differ from other Christian religions is in their belief that God and Jesus Christ are glorified, physical beings and that each member of the Godhead is a separate being. The true doctrine of the Godhead was lost in the apostasy that followed the Savior’s mortal ministry and the deaths of His Apostles. This doctrine began to be restored when 14-year-old Joseph Smith received his First Vision (see Joseph Smith-History 1:17). From the Prophet’s account of the First Vision and from his other teachings, we know that the members of the Godhead are three separate beings. The Father and the Son have tangible bodies of flesh and bones, and the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit (see Doctrine and Covenants 130:22). Although the members of the Godhead are distinct beings with distinct roles, they are one in purpose and doctrine. They are perfectly united in bringing to pass Heavenly Father’s divine plan of salvation.

My grandfather was a physicist who didn’t believe in God. He seemingly had a rational scientific explanation for everything. As he got older he shared with me that the more he tried to disprove the existence of God the more evident it became to him that God exists. In his final days he took solace in the fact that through his younger years of trying to disprove or explain away the devine God he actually proved his existence. Once he retired sometimes I would see him sitting for hours upon hours reading and studying the Bible when I would go visit him and my grandmother. He wanted to learn all he could about his creator. He would try to read anything he could get his hands on pertaining to Jesus Christ. His prayers were very important to him. He was always a kind and funny person, but I noticed over the years after he found God he had this spark of life in him and he appreciated the nuances of life more. The man went to his grave baptized and a firm believer in God and his only begotten son. His life's journey had taken him home back to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All praise be to God the Almighty, through him all things are possible.

[@ralphhebgen7067]

See my earlier comment - I was not aware of this quote but it is spot on. My question therefore is ‘why do so many believers, the speaker in this video included, feel the need to convince non-believers that their deity exists?’ The first part of Aquinas’ statement would imply that believers who do that measure the validity of their religion by the standards of non-believers. The fact that non-believers do not believe in a deity simply should not matter to believers. Period. And if you think the second part of the statement is true, recurrent attempts by believers to convince non-believers to abandon their world view is even more confounding…

🔥THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether human or it is His divinity, both of them submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The Spirit is the spirit of Christ, which means the divinity. This is what all people must understand. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became flesh, He realizes His spirit within His human body, that His human body is sufficient to carry out His work. Whether it is the Spirit of God or whether it is Christ, both are God Himself, and He does the work He should do and fulfills the ministry He should perform.) Almighty God said GOD incarnate is called CHRIST, and CHRIST is the flesh clothed by the SPIRIT of GOD. 🙏 This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT made of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the incarnation of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. 🙏 No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His divinity accomplishes the work of God Himself. Whether it is His humanity or His divinity, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, meaning the GOD HEAD. Therefore, His SPIRIT is GOD HIMSELF; this SPIRIT will not INTERFERE with His OWN WORK, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. ☀️ Therefore, God incarnate will absolutely never do any work that interferes with His own governance. This is what all people should understand. The INTENT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE MAN, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. ☀️ Similarly, the work of CHRIST is also to SAVE MAN, and it is for the WILL of GOD. Since GOD HAS BEEN INCARNATED, He REALIZES His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY is SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. 🙏 Therefore, ALL the WORKS of the SPIRIT of GOD were REPLACED by the WORKS of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORKS during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORKS of CHRIST. ☀️ It CANNOT be MIXED with WORK from ANY OTHER ERA. And SINCE GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS in the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to DO. ☀️ Whether it is the SPIRIT of GOD or CHRIST, both of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He DOES the WORK that He should DO and PERFORMS the MINISTRY that He should PERFORM. 🙏 From "The Spirit of Christ is Obedience to the Will of the Father in Heaven" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).

He literally thirsts for your soul, just like when He was on the cross saying "I thirst"

[@angelserrano754]

Don’t believe the lie that we are capable to struggle with our sinful nature and prevail. We need Christ because by his righteousness we are granted access to God’s presence once more but also it is his victory on the cross that destroys the sinful nature in our life. Our faith in Christ doesn’t mean we wont struggle with sin as we still live in a world corrupted by sin, but because of our new nature in Christ we can be empowered by the presence of God (Holy Spirit) to overcome, we must find peace in him. We remain on this earth after coming to know the truth by the very same mercy of God. It is by his mercy that he withholds judgement of the world to give all an opportunity to come to Him. He is unwilling that any would be lost. As Paul says it is our honor to suffer for the glory of God that in following the command of Christ we as the body can do our part in bringing the lost to know hope in him. I say these things with love! I struggled many years with what you are describing. There is hope, don’t stop pursuing God’s presence and truth, he will be made known to you in the depth of your being. Once that occurs nothing can rock you or remove you from his presence, only by his will and strength not your own.

I was an atheist before I hit a car with a motorcycle on September 11, 2002. There was no logical reason I am currently alive today. They called me a miracle. I went into a six week coma as one person and awoke as someone totally different. In the last 22 years I have experienced God in so many different ways. To keep this short, I will tell of the most significant experience. I had been on a long drive, and about 20 miles from home, I had a deep feeling someone else was in the truck I was driving. The feeling cannot be described using the American language as it was far too intense to do so. It was so pure and yet so raw, a love which permeated every cell of my body. I cried as one would expect, and I never wanted this drive to end. If I could bottle this feeling and just give you a small sample, there would be no such thing as an atheist. I am now a speaker on this subject and would love to share my story. If ever you wonder what heaven will feel like, I know. Give God a chance.

Behind closed doors, where nobody can see you. . The leap of faith it takes to go to your knees and humbly and sincerely request from Christ, is the most important step you will ever take. Ask him honestly to reveal himself to you. If you are sincere, you will be heard and answered.

I suppose the contentiousness is derived from people living side by sude evrry day fundementally disagreeing on how the universe came into being. Further disagreements include those of what laws should apply. I, quite honestly, aleays fail to take true believers seriously as the notion that God should have come into being spontaniously is no more likely than that the universe did. Furthermore that His principles have not stood the test of time (gender roles for example) must surely disproves his omnipitence, as he must surely have been aware those millenia ago that the world wood change. But the bible does not account for this. Equally, you might argue this to be a point of contwntion with the church not God, to which i would reply that, if everyone is worshiping god wrong for fault of the church's misinterperetation, then even devoted christians must be doomed for hell.

God is within me. Took me all my life to get here. Actually I had nothing to do with it. If it had been by my own efforts, I would still be debating. Nothing like that. The light found me. There is no other way. It lead me to It. I have no need for more books, no need for more teachers, no need for more gurus. The light within me suffices. It was incredibly painful at times. The spiritual path is fraught with obstacles. That rose surely has thorns. But the light found me and I am a witness of its existence. I feel the Light is writing this. In my case, the Light comes with christian symbols. It is a cross of Light, it is also a dove with its wings fully extended forming a cross of light with its whole body. I can see Jesus surrounded by Light. Light comes out of his stretched hands and has an aura of light all around his body. The light has no form or shape of its own. Different people from different cultures would give the light different forms. But the Light’s essential qualities remain across the cultures: perfection, beauty, bliss, love, compassion, independence, indestructibility, goodness, the Truth, etc. I have studied many religions through the years. I have had different visions of the light with different symbols. The christian light is to me the most beautiful and the one I prefer. When I say, “christian light” I refer to the fact that it comes through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That is just my personal choice. The christian light to me is like no other.

Because those are people who are always praying, who are always remembering God, you know, who are always giving charity, who dress modestly, who don't go to bars and clubs and sleep around. You don't like them because they are people with conservative values who take morality seriously, who love God. That'll make you look bad. So you have to redefine all of that as oppression to make your opposition to morality look like a moral stance. You have to pretend that we are against freedom because we exercise freedom responsibly and in a principled manner. Because freedom to you actually just means irresponsibility and decadence. And again, this is why “kuffar”-because it's lying, changing words for other words, mischaracterizing things to obscure reality. But you wouldn't do that if you thought you were right. You wouldn't have to be dishonest if you thought you were right. You wouldn't have to use deceitful language to make immoral things sound moral, if you didn't know, on some level, that you're wrong. Shaytan taught you this because that's how he pitches it to you. He makes the evil seem good because human beings want to be good, and they don't want to be evil in their heart of hearts. So, he (Shaytan) redefines immorality as morality, and then you run with it. But you know you're wrong, and that's really why Muslims make you so uncomfortable. And why you have to talk about the Taliban and all that to convince yourself that Shaytan's propaganda is true. So you can rationalize your disobedience to God as a good thing, rationalize the moral decay of your societies as a virtuous thing. It's a breathtaking level of dishonesty, and it's going to let you down. It is letting you down, and it is by far the most oppressive way to live your life. Because ultimately, immorality, irresponsibility, and selfishness are truly tyrannical and damaging. And the moral discipline that Muslims live by, the Sharia, is liberating and empowering. So you have to call what we follow oppressive, just to keep yourself from facing the oppression that you are actually under. [end]

The vast majority of them will be of people who are also atheists, agreeing with the content. The key point and the difference with John Lennox's lecture is that the possibility of God's existence in the scientific field is not very discussed, because in the academic realm, people that are believers are usually automatically considered to have their thoughts invalidated. So yes, it is important for a Christian to see the other side of the coin, which is: SCIENTISTS do believe and talk about God and yes, His existence is not invalidated by arguments simply regarding what is in front of our eyes or not. Also, the entire discussion regarding God's existence will become invalid if you take Popper's approach to Scientific discussion. It is unfalsifiable to say that there's no life that can emerge from nothing, but it is also unfalsifiable to say that YES, at some point the universe emerged out of nowhere. It is rather a philosophical discussion. Can you falsify the claim that "there's no God"? I suggest you to try to bring another view to the claims that Lennox stated in this video and see where you can get. It is a good exercise to take notes and think about it! Do you think this mathematician would be up there giving his lecture at Oxford if his ideas weren't worth listening to?

Like I said, I am genuinely curious to know if there is an answer for this.

[@newmercies1]

The biggest question all atheists typically ask is this: who created God? The simple answer is: God was not created, simply because God is the Creator not the creation and he is out of time-space continuum. It is like looking for Leonardo da Vinci in the Mona Lisa painting. You can admire his painting and understand his genius through his painting strokes but cannot look for the painter in the painting itself. So is with God. He created the Universe to perfection. We can admire it, study it through sciences but we cannot look for God in the Universe. All we can see is his strokes. He is out of it and out of time and space dimensions and the laws of Universe which he created in order for the Universe to run in equilibrium. @@machammer7454

He put a lot of thought into that talk.. well done Mr Lennox

[@jasamboginja]

He speaks about God with the passion that only a scientist who has met Him can embody. Professor Lennox's humility borne of his belief in God has led him to truly marvel at nature and the physical laws which are themselves at the core of true scientific endeavor. We as scientists form hypotheses based on a curiosity as to how things work or why they work. I've never understood how one can look at a 1" x 1" square of grass, observe all that goes on from the bugs to the worms to the microorganisms in the soil and the wonder of photosynthesis allowing the grass and plants to grow and thrive, and call it chance. Many of my peers mocked me (top tier educated scientist) for my belief in God but, could never explain to me who rolled the "marble" to start the chain of events they refer to as the Big Bang. Atheism actually requires the flouting of several laws of physics in order to allow for the Big Bang. It's so ludicrous. Professor Lennox is using some of the world's greatest scientists' writings to support his thesis yet, his audience members' hubris makes them want to crawl out of their skins. Look at the temple-rubbing, the eye-rolling, the fidgeting. Their body language could not be more clear. They view him as a dottery old quack. It's so painful to watch.

Why do you refer to your god as a Him? Why would god be a male? Does he have reproductive organs? Human do you think? Could it be possible it's a Her? Or maybe not a human at all as that would be kind of ridiculous if you think about it. Why are humans the only creature out of millions of living species of animal on the planet that believes in a creator of some kind? Also, I don't think people that don't believe in one of a historical count of thousands of claimed gods think that a disbelief in god means they think things happened by 'chance' as you say. If god is a creator of all things, as I suspect you believe, why did he create cancer? Why did my mother die from Alzheimer's disease? Some people actually seem to believe that they can change the weather by praying to their god which may explain why he did nothing to intervene whilst some of his own creations murdered over 10 million Jewish people in Germany. He/she/it simply wouldn't have had the time. If there is a real god, why does he/her/it not reveal themselves? There is literally no tangible moment in history where someone has ever seen god other than in the minds of gullible human beings believing they have had a conversation with he/her/it in their tiny minds. Why do babies die of physical deficiencies? What sort of creator would stand by and allow that to happen?

The major problem with deciding to follow religion is... which one? and which sect? Science gives us a common ground that we all can build an agreeable system we can live in. The U.S. constitution has enshrined this concept in the first amendment, which allows freedom of religion WITHOUT state sponsorship of any one. Science is based on what can be proven, so that we can agree on things using that proof. To argue something exists for lack of proof that it doesn't, does not follow logic. Otherwise, NO belief based on the supernatural can ever be dis-proven, whether it is based on God, Buddha, Islam, or little green men. Lack of proof today of course, does not mean lack of proof tomorrow, but THAT is the whole tenant of science to begin with. It is not based on believing we know everything about everything. It is a constant evolution of knowledge, with more to be discovered every day. Religions often would have us believe that everything we need to know we already do through its teachings, but they fail to explain why any deity gave us such a capacity to question and look for answers if that was not intended. Are we going to give up on our uses of the resources of this planet just because science pointed the way to their exploitation? Remember also, that the scientific method espouses a search for the truth, so properly done science has no expected outcome. Some politically motivated folks would have you believe that scientists get together in a star chamber somewhere and decide on which things they wish to prove. Those folks don't understand science. Most data collected is not "made to fit" an agenda, but is just what it is. The hard part of science is trying to come up with a reason for an observation that cannot be dis-proven, since that is the next thing one must do with his/her findings, is try like crazy to disprove them himself before suggesting it has any validity.

@@Panagiotis_Vlachosthe study of the Bible is called theology, and it is a science. People asked questions about the Bible and its accuracy, so it was studied to get answers. Answers found to be facts can be questioned, but that doesn’t change if they’re true or not. The Bible is a historical document that covers real events that actually happened, and it is studied as such by many Bible scholars who read the oldest found versions of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek to understand the original meaning. The Bible can be studied as a science, and it is, because people take the faith seriously. The whole “answers that can’t be questioned” thing is invalid in my opinion. If I ask the color of the sky and you say blue, I can question if it’s actually blue all day long but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s blue. Science gives us answers that can’t be questioned, like how it’s just objectively true that the circumference of a circle is 2pir. I can question that all day long but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s real. With God, what He says is true because He says it. He created the world with His words, if He said the sky is purple, it would be purple. His word can be questioned, but nothing comes of it. What He says is just what reality becomes, His promises are woven into creation. They can be questioned, as you are clearly questioning them, but you don’t gain anything. You act as though questions that can’t be answered are better, but it isn’t just black and white. That’s like saying, if you saw someone get resurrected instantly before your eyes, that “well just cause I can’t explain what happened doesn’t mean God is real. Id rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned!” Would you watch the laws of physics be broken right in front of you and still say there’s nothing supernatural and no creator? Normally you hear “well if God showed himself to me I would believe him” but you admit that you don’t know how the universe created itself from nothing, then you’ve seen his miracle with your own eyes. What’s more unbelievable, the whole world being created on its own with perfect conditions for life and conscious beings, or one man rising from the dead? The creation of the universe breaks the laws of conservation of energy and the of conservation of mass, so I’d say the universe being created is more unbelievable, but I’m sure if you saw a dead man walk you would believe in God. You see the result of a much bigger miracle every day. You are living in a bigger miracle than the one you’re looking for.

John Lennox is absolutely correct!!! Brilliant!!! When you study science you're studying God's creations!!!! God and science cannot be separated because you're learning what God already knows and knew before creation. The Theory of Evolution is still a theory while creation is a fact.

Dear Professor, you nailed it. I have some friends of Asian & 1 an English man studied in Cambridge University. I have had a hard time explaining to them why l choose ro be a Christian & why l refused to go out lunch or even donner with them. Sad 6 of them later on l found out, died of Covid. One had Aids, he hid it from me. But l found out from face book he too died of covid. None believe in God. To them church is a place to drain their salary due to 3 types of offerings . One of which is a MUST. 10%. Their argument is God is not poor. The other two told me, Christians should meet in homes & break bread. No building funds. 10% is no issue. It's that kind of conversation professional should be made to under stand.

As a Muslim, I liked the way he explained things promptly. Except for the part where he said "Jesus is the son of God", everything is in line with Islam as well. We also believe that Jesus will come back as Messiah. Many Christians assume that we don't believe in Jesus. However, we do, and we do as much as you do. The parting of the ways between us is that Jesus has been raised and hasn't been killed. therefore, he is not divine and not the son of God. However, he is one of the greatest Prophets we call Ulu'l Azm. 1. Prophet Nuh (A.S.); 2. Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.); 3. Prophet Musa (A.S.); 4. Prophet ‘Isa (A.S.); and 5. Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa (S.A.W.)

"Humans are, we are told, made in Gods image. And thats why science can be done" - How on earth does he make that conclusion?

[@johnfellows689]

Well!a good question! Sadly it can’t Be answered ! This man is rabbiting on a little too fast . Humanity is”or has not evolved to a scientific level that can answere that question! The enormity of gods realm is beyond conceptual understanding. We now have a better understanding of the distances involved and they are such that this professor seems a little earthly religious. The bible was scribed by men steeped in myth and legend !fear of the unknown. Hardly incitement to record truth without distortion. Hardly rocket science.

Men didn’t expect laws…men simply observed that the universe seemed to behave according to laws. We’re pattern recognition creatures and this was a pattern. The laws aren’t prescriptive either. They are descriptive.

As a hindu (sanatani to be precise) I support the maths proffessor 💯 Its not about who you believe , but about whether you believe him by your whole heart , just believe and practice what god taught us !
