Frank Turek: Use QUESTIONS to REVEAL Proof of GOD | I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist | TBN

[@1apilot2]

One thing I like about Frank is that he does not just have great intellectual arguments, but he has a kind of personal charm and wit. This is truly refreshing. I dare say that his mentor, Norman Geisler, did not have this quality when speaking. Watching or listening to Norman Geisler speak is a very dry experience in deed. But Frank makes dry facts personal and even enjoyable. I bet Norman Geisler is in heaven proud of his spiritual son, Frank Turek.

I am constantly amazed and thankful for how Frank thinks, and how he teaches logic.

[@vladtheemailer3223]

He is devoid of logic.

[@majmage]

But he isn't logical, Sara, so why would you say that? For example * one type of logic error is *just saying something's true for no reason; based on no logic or evidence.* * Frank makes this mistake twice when he makes the moral argument for god, by first saying (A) objective moral values exist and then (B) if they exist they're best explained by a god. Both points are made without logic. Without evidence. * you might sometimes hear people use the fancy terms for this type of mistake: fallacy of bare assertion, baseless claim, etc. They're just fancy terms for pointing out someone's argument is *just them saying something for no reason.* Frank's other arguments all have logic errors too, and so I don't think he has even *one* logical argument for a god. But I'm curious what you think.

[@pieteri.duplessis]

[@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.

[@drumrnva]

The reason you didn't hear more depth is because there isn't any. Turek is an utter bore. It's all rehearsed. He encourages people to stop thinking, through grossly oversimplified reasoning and bumper sticker theology. He's manifestly NOT a deep thinker.

[@andrewschafer8986]

You nail it!

[@majmage]

As others have pointed out, Frank's job is essentially to con people into believing a bad idea. So he doesn't want you to think, because thinking would make you realize there's no foundation to the idea.

[@FitBabe]

⁠@@drumrnvaYou don’t have to be a deep thinker to share the gospel. The point is just to share the message. Simplifying it as much a possible is a great way to explain it to people who’ve never heard it. And even if it _is_ rehearsed, so what? The message is still valid.

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.

Apologetics in a nutshell

[@kentstewart2907]

People like Frank, Voddie, and many others, are wonderful examples of men defending the gospel. They are able to be realistic and in that vein put the true gospel in perspective. That’s what young people are fearful of, when someone challenges their thought process because then they will discover for themselves that they don’t know everything. Praise God for His enduring patience with His creation.

[@RebuilderofZion]

What is the gospel?

[@kentstewart2907]

@@RebuilderofZion The gospel is as described by the apostle John, Christ Jesus was born according to the gospel, that He died and was buried according to the gospel, and that He rose from the dead, according to the gospel. Quite simply God the Son allowed Himself to take our place of punishment and then became a very living person alive again so that we also might follow Him to eternal life with the Father in heaven. Our sins have been removed by Jesus on the cross.

Jesus the Holy Lamb, died for our sins and rose from the dead. He lives today! He Reigns in Heaven. He will return to judge the world and set up a new and better kingdom. Turn to Him and be saved. He is the great healer, and the one who can forgive our sins. ❤️‍🔥✝️🕊️🙏

It is more difficult to save a mormon or JW than it is to save an atheist. This is because the LDS and JW's base MOST of their beliefs on the word of God. Where an atheist's world view is easier to dismantle and expose as false. The Holy Spirit was definitely at work in opening your eyes and heart to Him. God bless you. Hopefully God can use your experience to reach other mormons and JW's. You are now better equipped to reach a mormon than most other Christian's who do not have an LDS background.

[@MEAToftheWORDsermons4theMATURE]

"If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead." In other words, God has already given them enough proof to believe him and to believe what he has said. If that doesn't convince them, nothing will. one must choose to believe, no matter their circumstances or how they feel. By trying to make God prove that what he said is true, one has tested the Lord as Israel did in the wilderness. one tests God because of the hardness of their hearts, because of unbelief. Faith of course, is the opposite of unbelief. If we believe that everything God says is correct and true, then we will not require him to prove to us that what he says is true.

[@johnhenderson1671]

The answer an atheist might give for referencing 'morality' is simply "self preservation". Humans have learned that there is safety in numbers and if we all go around killing and stealing from each other... it ultimately works to my detriment. So morality is not driven by some 'higher good' but rather because it increases the chances that I will live longer and experience greater happiness (i.e. sufficient food/water, shelter, safety so that I can focus on or enjoy other aspects of the world). So the answer they might give to 'what is evil' ... is "That which ultimately endangers me and my chances at survival." The reason they would be concerned with 'evil' happening to others is that it opens the possibility that it can happen to them... so they don't like other peoples, countries or individuals practicing that which given a chance in circumstance could happen to them.

[@WheresWaldo05]

But why is living longer good? Why is self preservation good? Why is safety good? Why is happiness good and a thing to strive for? Who is telling you these are the things you should be achieveing?

That even happens with some animals like the lion and tiger making the liger. They're both from the same species of animals, the feline. Creation and evolution both remain theories.

As a long time atheist myself, I used to believe all faith is blind. Now I realize you must be blind, (often willfully), to not see Love as the Truth that is God. It’s not that my truth or your truth is the One & only, “my way to the highway”. It’s not that any human truth equates with the Truth. We can’t claim to have the Truth. But we can claim the Truth has us. And that’s the act of submission to Christ in the offering at the mass as we receive the blessed sacrament of Holy Communion. That is the silver bullet!

[@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.

The word 'side' is also fitting to the word (I believe it is this word) 'ezer kenegdo' which means something like either a rescuer, helper or some strong opposite.

To get to the head you've got to go through the heart

[@ElectricBluJay]

I do agree that there is a direct connection between the head and the heart (that is, what you think/reason and what you believe to be true at your core). However, I believe it all starts in the head. First, one must hear a claim, or perceive an event or have an experience.. these things are processed by the mind and judgement calls are made. From there, further communication and information is ingested and processed, which either strengthen or weaken one’s prior thought position on a topic. Once one decides they have sufficient evidence to accept something as complete truth, that belief manifests in their heart, and becomes part of their core belief system. Once an idea is established in the heart, it becomes more difficult to change it, as doing so could cause a knock-on effect with other parts of one’s core belief system, which could result in a feeling of existential crisis. This is why many people entrench themselves in their worldviews and throw up walls and filters to keep out anything that may shake what they believe in their heart to be true. (This is referred to as ‘closing the mind’ and ‘hardening of the heart’) And I also agree that this can apply to everyone, regardless of their belief system. Ideally, one would keep their mind open and their heart guarded, allowing for growth while also providing a safeguard against undue corruption of core beliefs. Just some thoughts…

@@ElectricBluJay I must say this I wish I had someone around that I could openly discuss philosophy and theology with I was a very good response and it made me think on some more yeah I'm going to keep going over that and do a little more study in this area. I personally have a heart for people and apologetics so I've been doing a lot of studying and it's just amazing how we formulate ideas and how closely we hold to our beliefs unfortunately sometimes even in the light of unsufficient evidence. What's really disturbing is how hard will hold on to a lie knowing that it's a lot just because at times changing beliefs and belief systems can be difficult and a lot of times it means a whole new way of thinking a whole new pattern of friends a whole new pattern of life and it's much easier to hold to what we've always known than it is to let go of the bad and embrace new ideas.

Frank would have an easier time with some things if he acknowledged that absolutes do in fact exist. Rape is not wrong because God said it is wrong it is wrong because it is wrong. God is just letting people know because they don’t seem to know right from wrong. Their friend and partner Ray Comfort has great street interviews. He doesn't spend a lot of time on the subject because we are called to preach the gospel, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. He says he can't believe in the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. And then he moves onto the law, and we all broke it.

Watching religious people taking their faith seriously, is like going to a Star Wars, or Star Trek, or Marvel convention. Some people just really want these fantasies to be real don't they?

[@aidanya1336]

As an atheist i find the question if i would become a christian to be a misleading one. Because it does not account for how different people see Christianity. It assumes the atheist agree's with the christian on what Christianity means. The atheist for example might not think the christian god is omnibenevolent. So it existing would not automatically mean you would follow that god. Would you follow an evil god if he existed? I think most people would say no. Turek is playing for his own audience when he asks that question because he relies on his christian audience to have already assumed the christian god is omnibenevolent ect. I would follow a god if 1) He exists 2) he is all-powerful 3) he is all-good. If the christian god turns out to be that, i will follow him. If not, i would not. But i do not automatically grant that he is and most atheists think he is not. This is why my answer to the question if i would become a christian is: It depends...

I appreciate your honesty! If you’re interested I recommend David wood’s testimony it’s about 30 mins long. He’s a former atheist hopefully you can receive some type of revelation from his testimony; it’s heartbreakingly beautiful.

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.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Sure you could. And no one is saying you cannot. But what you are reffering is not actual belief. You are talking about seperation from GOD. You could see all the facts and know GOD is real but choose to seperate youraelf from GOD anyways. For whatever reasons. Maybe you think he is evil and dont understand how he works so you choose not to worship him. Ok cool. But that is not belief in GOD. Only someone who follows GODs path can have belief in him. You are choosing to not follow him therefore you have no belief in him. You only know he exists. So you seperated yourself from him.

Frank is so intellectually dishonest. He only presents facile responses and catch phrases to cater to believers. He smugly says that he doesn't have enough faith to be an atheist. What nonsense! Frank, if a loving caring, all-powerful god exists, why do so many innocent people suffer so terribly? I've yet to hear a satisfactory answer other than it proves that your god does not exist.

[@kevinsnazz]

If Christianity was true would you become a Christian? No. It could be proven true but It doesn't mean the God of the Bible is deserving of my faith. More than anything, even if there is a God, I very much doubt any religion is true or correct with thousands to choose from. The existence of God wasn't proven and the resurrection of Christ seems even more unlikely. And why does there have to be a cause? Why are faiths always claiming a cause? What if there is no cause. I don't believe the Bible or any other holy book because I don't have the faith or the belief, they all seem preposterous to me. And Jesus doesn't seem like a republican to me or someone that would hang out at a Trump rally.

I think my only disagreement with Frank is on the Big Bang Theory. I am a young earth creationist, and have an article against evolution, in my Community.

[@SSRDragonblade]

The Big Bang is not tied to evolution, as you might think, so no, there's actually a big difference, and I see no problem here. The Big Bang is just evidence of the universe's creation event. The evolution interpretation by various atheists is just that, an interpretation, as it's just one way of interpreting the evidence.

Nope, you not believing the Bible does not mean I can't quote it. If you know me, you know that my life resource is the Bible, and I am going to answer anything with the Words of God.
