I found Christ today, all day I’ve been crying in repentance and joy. I’ve never felt love this deep, caring, wise, warm, knowing he loves me and my life is meant for the better through him. I regret ever rejecting him, the day I asked for help with sincerity in my heart he answered in the way that left me no doubt. I turned my back on god letting arrogance, sin, and temptation rule over me. Despite my indifference, me leaving him. My lord never left me He advised me, guided me, protected me, and loved me the entire way back to him. It’s only now I realize how blind, dismissive, disrespectful, and ignorant I was towards him my entire life. Yet he was right there by my side. I LOVE YOU LORD! Thank you for the video; praise Jesus our savior. Amen!

Awesome 😎. Exactly Professor John Lennox showing the hypocritical double standards that Atheists have for religious beliefs and theism that they don't apply to what Atheists do. I used to be an atheist and agnostic but they're both assumptions about reality made without any evidence just emotional arguments and strawman arguments against Christianity and theism. Creation and design requires a Creator we call God. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

I read somewhere that CS Lewis once walked into a room where there was a lively discussion on how Christianity differs from all other world views. "What's all this about then?" asked Lewis. Upon learning what was being discussed he replied, "Oh that's easy. Grace." This was very similar and indeed, at the end of the day, it is the difference. Great content, loved it 😇✝️

​@@Spectre-wd9dl It's a religion but not a doctrine. In Christianity whether you believe in Jesus or not, He looks at the heart. One might confuse relationships to parents or the state as authoritative forces which are often confused with Christianity. It is however historically true, ego inflations within authoritative forces punish like they're God. That's completely wrong whether identified as a believer or not. You find the pattern all around in humans once they're confronted to the unknown. Christ is life lived, just as described "through the good and bad times". I have realised from the 3 Abraham religions that Judaism and Islam are social collectives with their 'identity' just as we see today in wokeness. In christianity I find myself home in Christ as an individual and never have the idea i'm in a social collective. It's just like "the West", individual families that live. It is personal, the notion is often confused and overlapping with psychology. If you reflect and live life, improve upon yourself, you're good. In christ you are a sinner and that's not to be understood as bad thing but as a human thing. Once you see the connections between your consciousness and life, that you'll deeply touched and understand what spirit is. It is often when people leave religion, they find peace and autonomy. The old testaments is horrendous and new testament (Jesus Christ) perfectly fits modern age. In these post modernist age, it is all identity above truth, "new - ..., new-age". It's all an attempt to create a new God.

I'm an apologetist at school, and when I suggest the idea that Christianity is a relationship with God, it's like I'm speaking an unfathomable langauge. Faces people pull at me give the impression that their faith has nothing to do with unconditional love. A fact as simple as the God that created everything would want us to understand and be with him is absolutely crazy and makes no sense to my friends. They see it as a "religion". Do this and this will happen. Do it enough times and God will let you through the white purely gates of heaven.

You can call it whatever you want to try and make you feel better about your faith, but make no mistake, you cannot have a "relationship" with a myth or a dead guy. Christianity is a RELIGION by definition. It is no better than any other religion, you have no more proof for your god or claims than any other religion. So when Christians call their RELIGION a "relationship", of course we are going to look at you even more strangely than we already do.

To me, when I was a kid and a young adult, I always thought that Christianity is so boring and restrictive compared to other religions.i was attracted to my mother's religion the most which is Hinduism. I also became interested in new age and Buddhism later and the religion of my school friends which was Islam. I even was curious about witchcraft and law of attraction - what's the difference between all of those? To me, I found that, my boring Christianity was my safe place. My boring Shephard was where I would run to for safety when I got scared when I was sad or I hurt myself. About ten years ago I then realized that Christ was the only one. I went back to church but kept the new age things I liked, as tarot and manifestation. My Church seemed to somewhat ride that wave too. But Glory to Jesus! About three years ago, I guess my Shephard had enough since I was basically so depressed and hopeless I wanted to die. He asked me to come and truly know him. I said yes. I have never been better inside and never been more in love.❤️❤️❤️ His kindness is sometimes overwhelming and he is so reall - that is the difference.

John 5:25-27-“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.” John 12:34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” John 6:53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. John 6:27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. Luke 22:22 For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” Mark 14:21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 24: Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:39 And they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matthew 24:37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matthew 24:30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 12:40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Luke 9:58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Mark 9:12 And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? Matthew 12:40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Mark 9:31 For he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.” John 8:28 So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me. Daniel 7:13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

Mr. Lennox is a very likeable person and I enjoy listening to him. However, it's best when he sticks to the science area of believing in God and The Bible. He said regarding Jesus saying: "...that if we listen to him and accept his word and believed on him as the savior as the son of God, we would have in that moment eternal life and we would not come into judgement..." is why he should not teach matters spiritual of God or Jesus or the apostles. Because, if Lennox's interpretations were true, and additionally that good works "are not the basis of acceptance," there would have been absolutely no need for any followers of Jesus and True Christians of the first (and somewhat into the second) century AD to have kept teaching and preaching Gods good news at the risk of losing their jobs, going to prison, to be beaten and whipped, tortured and murdered, all described in The Bible and in academic/secular writings, if works were not Needed. "Faith without works is useless" and "faith without works is dead" and "Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:20; 2:26; 2:18). Too many of you intentionally ignore Gods words for the sake of your traditions, because your traditions benefit and suit you better, and not Gods word.

But like you said, faith is dead without works. We do good works because God has saved us, not so God can save us.

Its like saying im right and have evidence, because i decided it to be so Its more making god in your own image than being any sort of open or receptive to truth If all you can do is try to blanket the other groups as crazy extremists listening to devils and schizophrenic paranoid delusion, you dont have an argument because literally every one of your arguments applies just as much to your religion Saying MERIT loudly with conviction does not give you more merit You will look at older sanskrit stories claiming to be true and you will dismiss it and say they are just fairy tales for their magic elements and philosophy, but then literally say your religion is right dispite literally only popping up thousands of years later in documents that have no sources or witnesses and you just handwave the Contradictions away by falling back on a belief that "oh, the true story was always known, just not written down because everybody knew it" That is the limit of your evidence, but you dismiss claims documents and stories of other faiths as just made up while falling back on a faith without evidence or documentation to support the claim that your stories are the real truth These people are literally so clueless and confused its like the sun tzu meme "to confuse your enemy you must first confuse yourself" They say other beliefs are just made up, but dismiss historic document trails and literally history carved in stone to believe a story that literally has no observable evidence or history was real instead The thing about comparing jesus to the ceasars is we can dig them up and fucking blood sample them, but somehow we cant seen to find the cave with a blood sample to confirm the ressurection of the chosen one... with all those claimed fictional witnesses and worshippers... how odd right? Because the thing is, history DOES leave observable testable reaults in a lab, but no such thing has ever been found to confirm Christianity You would literally rather remain ignorant to the fact that we have the rest of the historical records and events from the time period and area but mysteriously no records confirming the events have ever been found... unless, that "hole in the records" is just a lack of records or evidence...

Christianity is about establishing a relationship with God through religion.

It is safe to assume that such ppl are following a version of God that is more convenient for them and not the God in the Bible.

@@donmek "so disprove the mumbo jumbo to me" ========================== Belief that there is a 3-in-1 god who... as a "spirit" did a human woman, and then was born as a son to himself as a result of his own doing the above-said human woman, and then was killed as a so-called sacrifice in order to wash away the so-called sin-that I have supposedly inherited-that was committed by a couple of ancestors in a garden that the 3-in-1 god had created when he was in the form of the father. Had this same thing been mentioned in a story of a religion that you do not subscribe to, you yourself would have called it mumbo-jumbo.

​@@donmek so disprove the mumbo jumbo to me ======================== The bible's mumbo-jumbo: 3-in-1 god who was born (on earth) to himself, sacrificed himself to himself in order to help me to wash away some sins that I have inherited 'genetically' from some original ancestors who upset the 3-in-1 god by eating a fruit that a talking snake ('the enemy') tempted them into eating. You are the one who makes the claim that this mumbo-jumbo is true. So, it is up to you to prove that the mumbo-jumbo is true.

It's like my relationship with my dog. I love him unconditionally and would do anything for him. I know he's not the smartest of doggos, but he is incredibly sweet. I did my best to teach him the rules and how to be, but to him he can't comprehend the full picture, and I know that he never will. And yet I try to get him off the leash as much as possible, give him as much freedom as I'm allowed to, and trust him to be good as much as I can. So I know he will make mistakes, but that doesn't matter because I already love him and will always accept his mistakes as something that comes with him. The result is that he is free to be himself, and his self is beautiful and he is adored by everyone who sees him because they can see the beauty of what a free, trusted, and loved dog looks like. And I hope I will see him in Heaven one day, and before then I will honor him in life and memory, because I know he would do the same for me.

The fact is that for any scripture to make sense to a person, he or she must have the same measure of anointing as the one who was first inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak or write that scripture.

[27]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel]. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed. (Al-Quran 2:87) Allah There is no god but He, the Alive, the All-Sustaining. He has revealed to you [O Muhammad],the Book with the truth, confirming what has been before it, and has sent down the Torah and the Injīl (Gospel) before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Criterion [i.e.,the Quran]. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will have a severe punishment, and Allah is Exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.(Al-Quran 3:2-4) >(Remember the time) when the angels said: “O Maryam(Mary), Allah gives you the good news of a Word from Him whose name is the Messiah Iesa, the son of Maryam (the Messiah, Jesus,son of Mary) a man of status in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those who are near (to Allah). He shall speak to people while (he is still) in the cradle, and also later, when he is of mature age; and he shall be one of the righteous.”She said: “O my Lord, how shall I have a son while no human has ever touched me?” Said He: “That is how Allah creates what He wills. When He decides a matter, He simply says to it ‘Be’, and it comes to be(Al-Quran 3:45-47) Surely We have sent down the Torah, in which there was guidance and light by which the prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah, used to judge for the Jews, and (so did) the Men of Allah and the Men of knowledge, because they were ordained to protect the Book of Allah, and they stood guard over it. So, (O Jews of today,) do not fear people. Fear Me, and do not take a paltry price for My verses. Those who do not judge according to what Allah has sent down are the disbelievers. We prescribed for them therein: A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear and a tooth for a tooth; and for wounds, an equal retaliation. Then, if one forgives it, that will be expiation for him. Those who do not judge according to what Allah has sent down, they are the unjust. We sent ‘Īesā (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) after those prophets, confirming the Torah that was (revealed) before him, and We gave him the Injīl (Gospel) having guidance and light therein, and confirming the Torah that was (revealed) before it; a guidance and a lesson for the God-fearing. So let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed in it. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the rebellious(Al-Quran 5:44-47) Say, [O Muhammad ]"Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path - a correct religion - the way of Abraham, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah(God)."Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds. For Him there is no partner. And thus I have been commanded, and I am the first one to submit.” Say, "Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ." And it is He who has made you successors upon the earth and has raised some of you above others in degrees [of rank] that He may try you through what He has given you. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.(Al-Quran 6:161-165) And indeed, We sent Noah and Abraham and reserved prophethood and revelation for their descendants. Some of them are ˹rightly˺ guided, while most are rebellious.Then in the footsteps of these ˹prophets˺,We sent Our messengers, and ˹after them˺ We sent Iesa(Jesus) son of Mary, and granted him the Gospel, and instilled compassion and mercy into the hearts of his followers. As for monasticism, they made it up We never ordained it for them only seeking to please Allah(God), yet they did not ˹even˺ observe it strictly. So We rewarded those of them who were faithful. But most of them are rebellious. O people of faith! Fear God and believe in His Messenger. And˺ He will grant you a double share of His mercy, provide you with a light to walk in on Judgment Day˺,and forgive you. For God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. This is so˺ that the People of the Book ˹who deny the Prophet(Muhammad)˺ may know that they do not have any control over God’s grace, and that all grace is in God’s Hands. He grants it to whoever He wills. For God is the Lord of infinite bounty.[Al-Quran 57:26-29] And who would reject the faith of Abraham except a fool! We certainly chose him in this life, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous. When his Lord ordered him, “Submit ˹to My Will˺,” he responded, “I submit to the Lord of all worlds.”And Abraham left this legacy to his sons, and to Jacob, and said: "O my sons, God has chosen this as the faith for you. Do not die but as those who have submitted (to God)."Or did you witness when death came to Jacob? He asked his children, “Who will you worship after my passing?” They replied, “We will ˹continue to˺ worship your God, the God of your forefathers-Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac-the One God. And to Him we˹all˺ submit.”(Al-Quran 2:130-133) Those are a people who have passed away. For them is what they earned, and for you is what you earned. Nor shall you be questioned as to what they have been doing. They said, “Become Jews or Christians, and you will find the right path.” Say: “Instead, (we follow) the faith of Abraham, the upright, - and he was not one of those who associate partners with Allah.”Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants [al-Asbat] and what was given to Moses and Īesā (Jesus) and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."(Al-Quran 2:134-136)

When Iesa(Jesus) sensed disbelief from his people, he asked, “Who will stand up with me for Allah(God)?” The disciples replied, “We will stand up for God. We believe in God, so bear witness that we have submitted(Muslim).”They prayed to God,˺ “Our Lord! We believe in Your revelations and follow the messenger(jesus), so count us among those who bear witness.”And the disbelievers made a plan ˹against Iesa(Jesus), but God also planned and God is the best of planners. Remember˺ when God said,“O Iesa (Jesus)! I will take you and raise you up to Myself. I will deliver you from those who disbelieve, and elevate your followers above the disbelievers until the Day of Judgment. Then to Me you will ˹all˺ return, and I will settle all your disputes. As for those who disbelieve, I will subject them to a severe punishment in this life and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers. And as for those who believe and do good, they will be rewarded in full. And God does not like the wrongdoers.” (Al-Quran Ali-Imran(3):52-57) The People of the Scripture ask you [O Muhammad] to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allah outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority. We raised the Mount over them ˹as a warning˺ for ˹breaking˺ their covenant and said, “Enter the gate ˹of Jerusalem˺ with humility.” We also warned them, “Do not break the Sabbath,” and took from them a firm covenant. They were condemned˺ for breaking their covenant, rejecting Allah(God)’s signs, killing the prophets unjustly, and for saying, “Our hearts are unreceptive!”-it is God Who has sealed their hearts for their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few-and for their denial and outrageous accusation against Mary, and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah Iesa(jesus), son of Mary, the messenger of God.” But they neither killed nor crucified him-it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever-only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. Rather, God raised him up to Himself. And God is Almighty, All-Wise. Every one of the People of the Book will definitely believe in him before his death. And on the Day of Judgment Iesa(jesus) will be a witness against them.(Al-Quran An-Nisa'[4]153-159) [on Judgment Day] when Allah will say, "O Ieesa(Jesus) Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Holy Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel] and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind [from birth] and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic." (Quran Al-Ma'idah [5]:110) He Iesa(Jesus) was only a servant We showed favour to, and made as an example for the Children of Israel. Had We willed, We could have easily replaced you ˹all˺ with angels, succeeding one another on earth. And his ˹second˺ coming is truly a sign for the Hour. So have no doubt about it, and follow me. This is the Straight Path. And do not let Satan hinder you, ˹for˺ he is certainly your sworn enemy. When Iesa(Jesus) came with clear proofs, he declared, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to clarify to you some of what you differ about. So fear Allah(God), and obey me. Surely Allah(God) alone˺ is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.” Yet their ˹various˺ groups have differed among themselves ˹about him˺, so woe to the wrongdoers when they face the torment of a painful Day! Are they waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺? Close friends will be enemies to one another on that Day, except the righteous, who will be told,˺ “O My servants! There is no fear for you Today, nor will you grieve- those˺ who believed in Our signs and ˹fully˺ submitted ˹to Us˺.[Quran Az-Zukhruf(43)59-69] Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until long after him? Do you not understand? Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows, while you know not. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet [i.e., Muhammad] and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the Ally of the believers.(Quran Ali 'Imran[3]:64-68) Some of the People of the Book wish to mislead you ˹believers˺. They mislead none but themselves, yet they fail to perceive it. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the signs of Allah while you bear witness ˹to their truth˺? O People of the Book! Why do you mix the truth with falsehood and hide the truth knowingly? A group among the People of the Book said ˹to one another˺, “Believe in what has been revealed to the believers in the morning and reject it in the evening, so they may abandon their faith. But do not believe (for real) except in those who follow your faith.” Say[Muhammad],“(Real) guidance is the guidance of Allah.” (But all that you do is due to your envy) that someone is given what is similar to that which you have been given, or that they argue against you before your Lord.” Say, “The bounty is in the hands of Allah. He gives it to whom He wills. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. He chooses whoever He wills to receive His mercy. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty. Among the people of the Book there is one who, if you entrust him with a heap (of gold or silver), will give it back to you; and among them there is one who, if you entrust him with a coin of gold, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep standing over him. This is because they have said, “There is no way we can be blamed in the matter of the unlettered.”And they tell lies about Allah knowingly. Why (will they) not (be blamed)? Whoever fulfils his pledge and fears Allah, then, Allah loves the God-fearing. Surely, those who take a small price by (breaking) the covenant of Allah and their oaths, for them there is no share in the Hereafter, and Allah will neither speak to them, nor will He look towards them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He purify them. For them there is a painful punishment(Al-Quran 3:69-77) And We have already sent Noah and Abraham and placed in their descendants prophethood and scripture; and among them is he who is guided, but many of them are defiantly disobedient. Then We made Our messengers follow them one after the other, then We sent after them ‘Īesā, the son of Maryam(Jesus, son of Mary),and gave him the Injīl, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of his followers. As for monasticism, it was invented by them; We did not ordain it for them, but (they adopted it) to seek Allah’s pleasure, then could not observe it as was due. So We gave the believers from among them their reward. And many of them are sinners.(Al-Quran 57:26-27)

@tyronetheron6339 3)The messiah [Jesus] Isa/Ieesa/Iesous(Latin Greek), Yesous/Yhohshua(Hebrew) son of Mary [i.e.,Maryam] he never acknowledged himself to be divine Likewise with his mother. he taught monotheism, worships only one god the almighty God/Elohim/Allah/Yahweh our creator, mention!;: O mankind, the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe; it is better for you. But if you disbelieve - then indeed, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. And ever is Allah Knowing and Wise. O People of the Scripture, be not excessive in your Faith, and do not say about Allah anything but the truth.The Messiah‘Īesā(Jesus) the son of Maryam, is only a Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He had delivered to Maryam(Mary), and a spirit from Him. So, believe in Allah and His Messengers. Do not say “Three”. Stop it. That is good for you. Allah is the only One God. He is far too pure to have a son. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And Allah is enough to trust in. Never would the Messiah disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor would the angels near [to Him]. And whoever disdains His worship and is arrogant - He will gather them to Himself all together. And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards and grant them extra from His bounty. But as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper. O mankind, there has come to you a conclusive proof from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light. As for those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into His mercy and grace and guide them to Himself through the Straight Path.(Al-Quran 4:170-175) They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ(the messiah), the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allah is over all things competent. The Jews and the Christians each say, “We are the children of Allah and His most beloved!” Say,[O Muhammad] “Why then does He punish you for your sins? No! You are only humans like others of His Own making. He forgives whoever He wills and punishes whoever He wills. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. And to Him is the final return.” (Al-Quran 5:17-18) Those who say, “Allah(God) is the Messiah(jesus), son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah(Jesus)˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever associates others with Allah ˹in worship˺ will surely be forbidden Paradise by Allah. Their home will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.Those who say, “Allah is one in a Trinity,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. There is only One God. If they do not stop saying this, those who disbelieve among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment. Will they not turn to Allah in repentance and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. The Messiah(Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. ˹Many˺ messengers had ˹come and˺ gone before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them, yet see how they are deluded ˹from the truth˺! Say,˺“How can you worship besides Allah those who can neither harm nor benefit you? And Allah ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”Say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way."On those who disbelieve from among the children of Isrā’īl , a curse was pronounced by David and ‘Īesā(Jesus), Son of Maryam(Mary). All this because they disobeyed and used to cross the limits. They did not forbid one another from doing evil. Evil indeed was what they did! You see many of them taking the disbelievers[i.e., the pagans.] as allies. Truly wicked are their misdeeds, which have earned them Allah’s wrath. And they will be in everlasting torment. Had they believed in Allah, the Prophet, and what has been revealed to him, they would have never taken those ˹pagans˺ as allies. But most of them are rebellious.(Al-Quran 5:72-81) [Be warned of] the Day when Allah will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen" - [The Day] when Allah will say, "O Iesa(Jesus) Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Holy Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel] and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind [from birth] and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."When I enjoined upon the disciples, “Believe in Me and in My Messenger(Jesus),” they said, “We believed. Bear witness that we are the submitting ones.”Remember˺ when the disciples asked, “O Iesa(Jesus) son of Mary! Would your Lord be willing to send down to us a table spread with food from heaven?” Iesa(Jesus) answered, “Fear Allah if you are ˹truly˺ believers.”They said, “We wish that we eat from it, and our hearts be satisfied, and we may know for sure that you have told us the truth, and we may become witnesses to it.” Iesa (Jesus) son of Mary, prayed, “O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread with food as a feast for us-the first and last of us-and as a sign from You. Provide for us! You are indeed the Best Provider.”Allah said, “I am going to send it down to you; but whoever among you disbelieves after that, I shall give him such a punishment as I shall not give to anyone else in all the worlds.”(Al-Quran 5:109-115) And˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah (God) will say, “O Iesa (Jesus) son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Knower of all unseen. I never told them anything except what You ordered me to say: “Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord!” And I was witness over them as long as I remained among them. But when You took me,You were the Witness over them-and You are a Witness over all things. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." Allah will declare, “This is the Day when ˹only˺ the faithful will benefit from their faithfulness. Theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is the ultimate triumph.”To Allah alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything within. And He is Most Capable of everything.(Quran Al-Ma'idah[5]:116-120) It is Allah (God)who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded? He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count. That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful, Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay. Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained. Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e.,intellect]; little are you grateful. And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers. Say, "The angel of death who has been entrusted with you will take you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."(Al-Quran 32:4-11) It is Allah (God) that there is no god but Him. He is the All-Knower of the Unseen and the seen. He is the Most-Beneficent, the Most Merciful. It is Allah that besides Whom there is no deity; He is the King, the Holy One, the Giver of Peace, the Granter of Security), the Guardian over all, the Mighty One, the Compeller, the Possessor of every Greatness. Glory be to Allah from what they associate as partners with Him. It is Allah that He is the Creator, the Originator, the Fashioner; His are the Most Beautiful Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, All-Wise (the Owner of Judgment and Wisdom).(Al-Quran 59:22-24) Verily, those who believe, the Jews, the Christians and the Sabians, whoever (among them) believes in Allah[God] and the Last Day, and does good deeds, they will have their reward from their Lord. there is no fear in them, and they do not grieve.(Al-Quran 2:62)

@tyronetheron6339 4)God/elohim/Allah/Yahweh god of prophet adam, prophet enoch, prophet noah, prophet Abraham, prophet Moses, prophet David, prophet solomon, prophet Iesa (jesus), prophet Muhammad God the creator of the universe and the content he Having a noble substance, He does not reside in heaven because he doesn't need a place at all, and didn't he create heaven? The substance without limits of space and time, an eternal substance that will not die while humans are material, weak and bound to die. He is the sole ruler of the universe he had no descendants,he did not need an heir to his kingdom. It is not appropriate to call him father. The greatness of his power is so vast and what humans think cannot measure its power. Virgin Mary's pregnancy is an easy thing for god, didn't he previously create adam from clay without a mother and father? eva was born from adam's rib without a mother, Iesa(jesus)was born with a mother without a father. didn't god create the nation of the jinn/Genies and the angels before? Or is the creation of man more difficult for God or the creation of the universe? warned in the Quran that the statement calling god the father is an insult to the most glorious god. if you are truly a believer You heed this warning. Mention!;:; The creation of the heavens and the earth is certainly greater than the re-creation of humankind, but most people do not know.(Quran Ghafir[40]:57) the baby Ieesa [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah (God). He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live, And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."That is Ieesa(Jesus) the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. [He Jesus also declared] “Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.” (Al-Quran Maryam[19]:30-36) They say, “The Most Compassionate has offspring."Indeed you have come up with such an abominable statement by which the heavens are about to burst, the earth to split apart, and the mountains to crumble to pieces in protest of attributing children to the Most Compassionate. It does not befit ˹the majesty of˺ the Most Compassionate to have children. There is none in the heavens or the earth who will not return to the Most Compassionate in full submission. Indeed, He fully knows them and has counted them precisely. And each of them will return to Him on the Day of Judgment all alone. As for those who believe and do good, the Most Compassionate will ˹certainly˺ bless them with ˹genuine˺ love. (Al-Quran Maryam [19]:88-96) The Jews and the Christians each say, “We are the children of Allah and His most beloved!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Why then does He punish you for your sins? No! You are only humans like others of His Own making. He forgives whoever He wills and punishes whoever He wills. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. And to Him is the final return.”O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is over all things competent.(Al-Quran [5]:18-19) The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of God,” while the Christians say, “The Messiah(jesus) is the son of God.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May God condemn them! How can they be deluded ˹from the truth˺?They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides God, even though they were commanded to worship none but One God. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. Glorified is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺! They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it. (Quran [9]:30-32). All praise is for Allah(God) Who has revealed the Book to His servant [Muhammad] allowing no crookedness in it, making it˺ perfectly upright, to warn ˹the disbelievers˺ of a severe torment from Him; to give good news to the believers-who do good-that they will have a fine reward, in which they will remain forever; and to warn those who claim, “Allah has offspring.”They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. What a terrible claim that comes out of their mouths! They say nothing but lies.(Al-Quran 18:1-5) And with the truth We have sent it down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. ˹It is˺ a Quran We have revealed in stages so that you may recite it to people at a deliberate pace. And We have sent it down in successive revelations. Say, "Believe in it or do not believe." Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration, And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled."And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e.,the Quran] increases them in humble submission. Say,[O Muhammad]“Call upon Allah(God) or call upon the Most Compassionate-whichever you call, He has the Most Beautiful Names.” Do not recite your prayers too loudly or silently, but seek a way between. And say, "Praise to Allah, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."(Al-Quran Al-17:105-111) Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians-whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.(Quran Al-Baqarah[2]:62) Indeed, Allah(God) does not forgive associating others with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. And whoever associates others with Allah has indeed committed a grave sin.(Al-Quran 4:48)

In all my 65 years, I have never heard such a clear and succinct lesson regarding Christianity. It became clear to me that it was unique by observation, contemplation and deduction, especially during my travels around the world, primarily my ten years in Asia. I never could put my finger on it though. I’ve been in and out of churches, starting in a Catholic family; mostly out. Enthralled by Buddhism and its trappings for much of the time I made pilgrimages to hundreds of those temples… The good thing is that it kept God in focus for me most of the time even though Jesus seemed to be out of the picture. Now I feel more at peace than ever from this simple yet profound lecture as I was recently told my neck cancer has spread to my lungs and is terminal. Immunotherapy starts next week and is supposed to get me more time. Either way, we’re all on the same train, just different stops. Peace and love to you all, and fear not.

Mr. Lennox is a very likeable person and I enjoy listening to him. However, it's best when he sticks to the science area of believing in God and The Bible. He said regarding Jesus saying: "...that if we listen to him and accept his word and believed on him as the savior as the son of God, we would have in that moment eternal life and we would not come into judgement..." is why he should not teach matters spiritual of God or Jesus or the apostles. Because, if Lennox's interpretations were true, and additionally that good works "are not the basis of acceptance," there would have been absolutely no need for any followers of Jesus and True Christians of the first (and somewhat into the second) century AD to have kept teaching and preaching Gods good news at the risk of losing their jobs, going to prison, to be beaten and whipped, tortured and murdered, all described in The Bible and in academic/secular writings, if works were not Needed. "Faith without works is useless" and "faith without works is dead" and "Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:20; 2:26; 2:18). Too many of you intentionally ignore Gods words for the sake of your traditions, because your traditions benefit and suit you better, and not Gods word.

There aren't different types of Christians. Christianity isn't a branch of different religions/denominations. Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Methodists, Orthodoxes, etc... ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. *There aren't different ways to Heaven, there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.* These fake religions have beliefs, teachings, ideologies, rules, and traditions THAT ARE NOT IN THE BIBLE. If you practise something in your religion that you can't find anywhere in the Bible, you are not a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ).

The point that Lennox made is why I left the church and became atheist for several years in my college days. I couldn't fathom that "there's nothing I can say or do to earn my salvation". I hope people of other faiths can one day realize how radical and insane this is, it took me 20+ years. God knew I'd have this struggle, which is why he's always made Titus 3:5 the only Bible verse I've ever had memorized my whole life, even though for much of it I wasn't Christian. "He saved us, not because of the righteous things we have done, but because of his mercy"

You made a solid point about Paul not knowing that there would be a Bible in the way we know it today. Just a follower of Christ writing with no other motive but to share his eye witness testimony of Christ as God incarnate...so that we may believe.

That has little explanatory power to the non-believer, though. By itself, it’s an exclusivity claim that gives no evidence. This is why we bring the broader context and uniqueness of the whole gospel in. Not trying to nitpick or anything, I just think we believers need to really get in the mind of the skeptic to be more effective.

the TV series The Chosen had helped my husband and I dramatically as far as seeing the bible and the disciples as not just a book, but real people. For us, God used the show to bring us back to his word and we've remained in it daily and started reading with our kids. I recommend giving the series a chance if you havent !

Good joke! Those who believe in Jesus will be able to perform even greater miracles than he did! “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these” John 14:12 Not a lot of common sense there! “I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” John 14:13-14 But this is contradicted by experience. Millions of Christians pray to Jesus every day for things and don’t get them. Prayer doesn’t work. Scientific studies have proven that it works at exactly the rate of chance, meaning it doesn’t work, and those that know they’re being prayed for tend to do worse. Sorry, no common sense at all!

@@mirandahotspring4019 This is the misunderstanding of prayer: Practicing Christians do not pray for things. They pray for a conversation. They understand that everything is out of their control and in the hands of God. That’s what is meant by “ask for it in my name”. Sometimes those wishes are in alignment with God and sometimes they are not. He’s not a genie. The most common prayer is The Lord’s Prayer, where the human acknowledges God’s veto power: “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. That means if it’s not in heaven’s best interest, then it isn’t happening on earth. But God still wants to hear your thoughts about it. Hence, it being a relationship.

My first step to learning faith started in college, when I started really nervous in a TT match. But once I started hitting my shots more and more and play the way I wanted, that's when I learned what real confidence was about. Basically, you don't just believe, and that you had to work to build it. Sometime after, I learned about trust for children multiple times. How it is important to fulfill their needs. The message is very clear. These things need something of substance for them to be based on. Then after watching JBP and several other videos with people testifying that science actually supports Christianity, and other pieces of knowledge falling into place, that's when I finally pieced it together. Trust and confidence are built. Shouldn't faith be the same? That's the only way it would make sense. And then there's also looking up the origins of the relevant words, and boy were they linked. Definitely, faith should not be blind.

@JiraiyaSama86 - Saving Faith is not learned! Saving Faith is a gift of God! For we do not believe through our own faith mustered within ourselves. No, that faith is simply never strong enough! Ephesians 2:8-9 says this: For it is by grace that ye are saved, through faith, but this not of yourselves it is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast. Then Galatians 2:20 says this: For I am crucified with Christ, yet I live, but not I that lives it is Christ who lives within me, and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith of the Son of God; Who loves me and gave His life for me. " Faith Of " KJV - Correct, " faith in " incorrect, almost all other translations or Satan at work. Then Christ Himself goes as far as to pray this in John 17:20-21 - Christ prays: " I do not pray for these alone, but also for those that come to know Me by their word, that they all might be one, even as Thou Father art in Me and I in Thee, that they also might be in US, so that the world might believe that Thou didst send Me.
