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.

[@hopeinHim5160]

Thank you for this interview. I am very grateful. I am a former Mormon, now born again Christian. I was awakened to the true Biblical Historical Jesus the Christ by the grace of God! Ephesians 2.8-10 was powerful in my journey. It is by grace you are saved through faith . It is the gift of GOD not of works that no man may boast. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which were prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. I praise God for this gift. He rescued me. God is real. 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. ❤️‍🔥✝️🕊️🙏

[@Gilchrist247]

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.

[@hopeinHim5160]

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.

[@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.

@@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.

The comment about how if theres no purpose to being then its just one opinion against another is absolutely correct, it just needs a minor tweek. God has an opinion too because he is omniscient.

[@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.

I don't like the Big Bang lingo... But the Bible does say that God "stretches out the heavens."

[@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? It is a circular and ridiculous argument. Also someone who doesnt believe GOD created must believe that star dust created us. And if star dust created us, then we must follow the laws of how star dust wants us to live. Also the 2nd law of thermodynamics can debunk this.

[@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...

@@therick363 That's actually true. Sounds a bit odd though. Although I believe in God, or at least a creator, intelligent design, I believed for some time in evolution. However I don't buy the idea that a species can evolve into a brand new species. I think they can evolve into different breeds within their own species. That's proven with breeders of some animals. 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. Seems to be evidence supporting both. In my mind creation seems to make the most sense. I respect those of either side. I don't think either side can honestly say the other is totally wrong.

3:40 “There is no silver bullet”???? Go ahead & believe evil problems are greater than the Love we profess to our friends, family, & self. However, it seems to me there is no greater Truth than Love is greater than any problem, evil, or even dimension of space, time, universe, or reality of existence. 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!

[@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.

As a christian I find the rib argument in church really strange. Like a way to degrade women to a small portion of a man's potential. In the original Hebrew text the word can also be translated as 'side'. In more than a few instances in the Old/First Testament the same word is often translated as 'side', so why not in that instance? 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. I think I don't make it as clear as it should be. Ben Shapiro explains it beautifully. My two cents 🙂

Okay you look at a lot of psychology studies and we cannot disentangle the emotional from the intellectual and unfortunately it's not only that with atheist but Christians are the same way when we feel like you're attacking our worldview it feels like you're also attacking us at our core. 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…

[@collectibles4u]

@@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.

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.

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.*

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.

How can it be proven that God is eternal, all-powerful, all-seeing etc.? None of these attributes can exist in reality - they are the kind of praise that underlings of kings etc. sang to ensure they kept there heads on. How can the kingdom of God arrive if it is not available to the human senses, yet those attributes cannot be available to the senses. The gospel Christ was supposed to be the answer to God's appearance, but the gospels are lies - the miracles never happened for if they had then the kingdom would truly have arrived. St Paul, a contemporary of the gospel Christ, would have become a Christian during his lifetime.

[@benliftin4awhile]

NASA confirmed an eclipse on April 3rd 33 ad between 3 and 6 pm, started at like 4 something, that’s exactly when the “Story book” says happened, and this is a secular NASA discovery. Very recently they went back to the Shroud of Turin and discovered that it is absolutely possible to be from the 1st century, with the negative imprint of a man crucified with the same injuries the “story book” stated Jesus had. Do some research, the further time has gone along, the more that the Bible has gotten dead on, it is by far the most reliable book that’s ever been written. If you have not read it, studied it, or researched the science of fine tuning the universe, the beginning of space, matter, time, and energy, the archeological finds that have supported the Bible, the Dead Sea scrolls confirming for sure some of the books in the Bible, the evidence is actually staggering. Dont waste my or your time with emotion and belief systems and all that, I follow Jesus Christ’s teachings because He is God, and His teachings are incredible. Do some research into what I just spoke about.

[@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.

[@michelangelope830]

You are deceived and to understand the deception you have to think rationally. To understand you are deceived you have to understand the atheist logical fallacy. Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is "sky daddy" to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. You are deceived because God is necessary and you believe or you don't believe in God. If you accept God is necessary would you accept humanity are deceived believing because too many people lie too much?. I am tired, why don't you read Spinoza?. Spinoza was right and God is literally everything that exist past present and future. God exists because not all reality can be created logically. It is infinitely important to understand God exists for your mental health. I will explain the kalam cosmological argument that proves logically God exists and atheists don't understand. What has a beginning of existence has a cause because from nothing can not be created something. Logically it is impossible the existence of an infinite number of causes, therefore an eternal first uncaused cause that created what has a beginning of existence must exist. Did you understand the argument and why God exists?. To end the war the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. To end the war the discovery that God exists has to be news. I am suffering a censorship. Thank you.
