2 men I respect more than i have words.

[@buckybarnes3803]

I follow Frank and I would have liked to have heard a little more 'inside baseball' in this interview, because I've heard all of this before in any one of his talks to a college campus. This is a format to dive a little deeper into Cross-Examined or Frank himself. Bring him back for an encore Kirk!

[@majmage]

Some of Turek's "inside baseball" can be seen in a video by *Mindshift, "Turek Takedown".* He quickly covers 10 Turek short videos. Ultimately Turek doesn't really have anything more than the basic (and illogical) theist arguments for god(s) -- at least I think I can confidently say that after having listened to hundreds of theists and seeking out tons of "evidence of god" videos online and simply never seeing/hearing anything that wasn't clearly illogical. In many cases the bad logic has been known for over a hundred years.

Good talk, Blessed Be His Holy Name!!!

The problem today is that people don’t think, they just feel.

[@HiThereHeyThere]

Yes. Feelings are led by the heart and desires. Scripture says mans thoughts are always continually wicked. So the unsaved simply dont follow reason and truth but sinful thoughts & desires.

[@scotttovey]

@@HiThereHeyThere "Yes. Feelings are led by the heart and desires. Scripture says mans thoughts are always continually wicked. So the unsaved simply dont follow reason and truth but sinful thoughts & desires." This is accurate. Unfortunately, Christians are more like the world and speak in the form of "I feel" rather than "I think" or "I believe". That makes them unreliable and very difficult to communicate with. They feel they don't need to be precise in their communications and they not only take offense when someone misinterprets what they said, they take offense when that someone advises them to be clearer and more accurate in their communications to avoid future misunderstandings.

[@sonyagraske376]

Idt they do either one; think or feel. 🥺

[@scottm4042]

​@@sonyagraske376Your use of Idt (I don't think) through me off to begin with, as I had to figure out the initials. And by the time I figured it out, the point lost it's passion. But, because you were talking about thinking, and feeling, I thought I would respond anyway. And perhaps you are correct that many do not think, or feel.

Apologetics in a nutshell

Two legends!🙏❤️👏🏻👏🏻🔥

Thanks Kirk, i really appreciate Dr. Turek. God bless you.

[@vanessavalentin3788]

You should make 1 movie with all the apologetic topics!

Thank you for this and i have that book! God bless you guys!!!

#justBELIEVE Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me. 15 Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

Amen!

[@cheryldianecraddock5656]

🎉when I am asked a question that I'm not sure how to answer, I tell that person I'm not sure but give me a couple days and I will look it up. I want to be careful that what I am saying is scripture based and I tell them where to find it in the Bible.

[@NiyolNavajo]

It's just amazing

[@ark-eight]

❤🙏

[@johnlombardo7816]

This is the only issue I have with Franks argument .. 10:30 I don't believe the "cosmos" are what we are told.. sure we can see what's up there kind of from here.. but I don't think they are visitable planets etc.. and so I'm a believer in what God has done and continues to do, aside from the fact the world isn't maybe quite as vast as he suggests.. we still have a land that is as fantastical in nature as anything any brilliant mind could have thought of, x10000!!

[@the_alchemy_method]

Tbf you could use the line“if x religion was true would you become an x”. A muslim or Mormon could use it… so what are we do with that?

[@jilllingenfelter4682]

I have been a Very Godly Christian all my life :) And I will say this loud. And clear I thank God for absolute permanent divorce/no reconciliation ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever!!! And I also Praise God for permanent Closure. And my absolute 100% Singleness for as long as it lasts :)@Kirk Cameron On TBN

[@the_alchemy_method]

How do we know that Jesus didnt flee after the resurrection and thats why his body was never found?

[@Pouncealot2023]

If that were true astrophysicists and cosmologists would be the most staunch Christians

[@phycho40]

What do you mean? The cosmological evidence points to a philosophical question

[@Truthin15]

Actually, it is true. But they come up with another idea for a cause. One example, Neil Degrasse Tyson’s objection isn’t that the cosmological argument fails, but he objects on moral grounds. Because the science is clear, the universe has a beginning and therefore a cause. The questions about that cause aren’t science, they are philosophy.

[@robertdouglas8895]

If God created the earth, why did Jesus say to not trust the way we experience it to be true? John 7:24 "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment". This is a world of death and separate bodies but God creates us as being one with Him as Spirit. " "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: To stay with the idea that we are earthly beings puts off being born again as spirit.

[@Believe_the_Bible]

FOUR QUESTIONS TO ASK TO UNDERSTAND OUR BIBLE: When we read and study our bible rightly divided (II Tim 2:15) there are at least 4 questions we should ask, to help get a better understanding of its context. 1. Who is talking? 2. Who is being talked to? 3. What is being said? 4. Can I put myself in this text as being the one being talked to or about? Then, the key is to NOT insert yourself into a passage that you don’t belong in, one that is NOT talking to or about you. If we do, our doctrine will not be correct. Example: You may think you need to sell all you have or keep the law as Jesus taught in the 4 gospel books. And so you should do these things if you were obeying the words of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. But those two things are not requirements for us today as it was for the Jews under the law to go into their earthly kingdom. We are to listen to Jesus' last words by the person who saw and spoke to Him last for the updated new information Jesus gave to him for us today - that would be Paul. Romans - Philemon. ALL scripture is FOR us but not ALL scripture is written to and about us.

[@robertdouglas8895]

@@Believe_the_Bible You gave general rules but applied none of them to what I said. I will apply a life decision I made to what you addressed. I lived for a year without any income living on the road in Costa Rica and West US only trusting in God to provide and learning to trust Him through people and life to provide. What other people did wasn't what I followed in whatever time they lived. I listened to the Holy Spirit and my trust in Him grew.

[@AtheerDawood-bt9wr]

That's not true, we just want them to see how good the Gospel is.

[@andrewschafer7790]

Yep 99 times out of 10. You don’t mean believe in Christianity you mean believe everything about the religion, the Bible, and what you believe. You can believer in god and not want anything to do with him. Clearly separate the two.

[@FilmPro09]

Tell yourself what you need to feel comfort and sleep at night, even if that means worshipping an awful character in an old book. Just keep it to yourself and maybe stop lying to children and vulnerable, broken adults that are the easiest to indoctrinate. Best wishes.

[@intothewildernest]

You are so loved brother. I pray for God to heal your wounds and for a beautiful and supernatural encounter in your life from Him so that you can see His peace and the truth of that old book. May God bless you.

[@majmage]

Just a train wreck of constant bad arguments. Does any theist actually value truth? If you do, then it should be a huge concern when Turek does things like say "we do know there's objective right and wrong" (baseless claim A) "so there's an objective moral lawgiver" (baseless claim B, and also equivocation fallacy ('lawgiver')). All of the arguments he uses here are known to be wrong, so while I could see major religious leaders/institutions having a strong financial motivation to deceive people by trotting out these same tired arguments, I don't see why the average person is convinced by them. Look, friends, you're on the internet. You owe it to yourself to track down the truth. Look up each argument (moral, cosmological, ontological, etc) and pay attention to the criticisms of those arguments. They hold up. These aren't insult-style criticisms ("this argument is dumb"). No, they're *severe, argument-ruining logic errors.*

[@leeberry7703]

Intellectual dimwit

[@Believe_the_Bible]

If what you mean by repenting of our sins is, we need to turn from them, then NO ONE would ever be saved. This is a false gospel out there. That people have to clean up their lives before coming to Christ. No, no, no. Paul puts it this way: Rom 5:8 KJV But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Thank you Lord for your abounding GRACE. The work of turning from sin negates grace. Rom 11:6 KJV And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Good talk otherwise. Thank you.

[@ElsieLyn]

Jesus said repent and believe. There are many passages giving examples of turn from sin and to God.

[@Believe_the_Bible]

​@@ElsieLyn Yes, but for us during this dispensation of GRACE we are saved by grace through faith in Christ DBR. For us today, repenting is a change in mind AFTER we are saved. For Israel, they were to repent (change their mind and their action) to be saved. i.e. Get water baptized after repenting. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 3:19 KJV Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Peter is talking to ISRAEL. See context. For your consideration: www.believethebible.net/rightly-dividing-the-word Thanks for your comment. Have blessed day.

[@billythekid7413]

You must repent and put your faith in Jesus. You cannot continue in willfull sin. Period. Yes, you're going to sin and fall short but it shouldn't be a practice and willfully done. And if you're not feeling the conviction of the Holy Spirit when you do sin or do something wrong, then you're probably not saved in the 1st place. God's grace isn't a license to sin. Read Jude chapter 1.

[@Believe_the_Bible]

​@@billythekid7413 So what you are saying is the apostle Paul was not saved (Rom 7) and the neither were the Corinthian believers because of their sin? Should we try to stop sinning, absolutely. But that will not happen until we are in Heaven. If sin is an indication of us being saved then no one is saved. If sin can be brought up to God again once it has been forgiven, then Christ blood was not enough. Col 2:13 KJV And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Rom 6:1 KJV What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 KJV God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Titus 2:11 KJV For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Titus 2:12 KJV Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; When you make sin in a persons life the indicator of whether they are saved or not you are belittling the grace of God, and out of place in your judgment.

[@vladtheemailer3223]

Ignorant nonsense.

[@ElsieLyn]

You will find out. Jesus loves you and died for you.

[@phycho40]

Ignorant in what way?
