When he answered that man (who told him to give up God) with,” What do you have to offer that is better?” I had to stop the video as I was raising my hands and rejoicing in God for the love and the boldness he displayed. Shouts of victory even in death! Our brothers and sisters are not giving up the Lord Jesus even though persecuted, tortured, and martyred.

Your testimony dear brother has encouraged me to stand up for my believes based upon the evidences that I know so far. When I see your convictions , they reinforce much more mine.

During my orthopedic internship, I was asked by my tutor to present a written work at a congress on the sabbath day, and because I'm Christian and have decided to keep God's Commands including the sign Of his Authority as The Creator, I declined. But that wasn't an invitation but a test and I was rejected for that tutor. I thank the director for finding me another tutor. this director defend me against injustice a couple more times. Today I pray to God for my colleagues especially the director and the new tutor, and wish to be forever their friend. It's written in the book of Proverbs in the Bible: - " It isn't good to defend the powerful in judgment" My Lord and Master Jesus Christ teach me to defend all in need, in order for them to be saved from evil, and inherit eternal Life. I desire Eternal Life I hope that I'll attain it too.

[@celenecranenburgh9566]

Keep trusting in Jesus Christ. HE HAS DONE IT FOR YOU. Xxx

[@taniaashby137]

To attain means to work for something….God does want us to try to be like Jesus but all you have to do to attain eternal life is believe in the Son of God, repent as the sinner you are, we all are! Trust in God…He let Him die for you! Just never let go! 👏God bless!

[@Stupidityindex]

John Lennox can't be serious. What he lacks in reasoning is made up by his lovely accent as he preaches to the choir about fantasyland. God helps those helping themselves is a saying because gods have a perfect record of nothing doing outside of fiction. I hear appeals to strong emotions, a common tool among podium jockeys. Any god outside of fiction is an absurdity the illiterate observes. Those with one foot in fantasyland authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones & magic. The religious don't have ears to hear, the books of God are filled with faith & prayers: Nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital, the religious are only into convincing themselves. Rabbi Podium Jockey should not take himself so seriously, nobody should. The religious have no quality-controls. God knows, god helps those helping themselves is a saying because gods have a perfect record of nothing doing outside of fiction. One might expect a deity to make itself known to everyone without work performed in interpretations of old literature by guys like our verbose podium jockey. Who in their right mind promotes travel as if best done with one foot in fantasyland vocabulary. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital, and these wolves in sheep's clothing advocate prayer & faith verbiage. Even Jesus Christ said faith was worthless if you can't move mountains by issuing voice commands. What is moral or ethical about suggestions of travel with one foot in some religious fantasyland? A house divided cannot stand. We vote because Christians have no quality-controls, & we desire those governing not making suggestions travel is best done with one foot in someone's fantasyland. 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.'' Come, let us worship Jesus. Let us all forget it was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch-killings. Let us forget we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves, because gods have a perfect record of doing nothing. Let us ignore nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. Let us ignore a wicked generation seeks signs. Theologians grant the titles to each other without a deity certification. A deity unable to be acknowledged by everyone is a forgery based on literature. Oppression builds character among the dominated. Who do you think nailed the king of the Jews, when Imperial Rome controlled temples & publications? Just for the fun of it, have their Messiah say render to Caesar? My sheep hear my voice. Think not I come with peace, but sword. The literate of the age; built religions & made propaganda, devalued the currency, too. Marvel not I say you are all gods, and so on & so on. Faith is a fantasyland term, & the Christians hate to hear it. If faith had any value, then you could move mountains by voice-command. We know there is no god outside of fiction. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control. Think not I come with peace, but sword. I come to divide this that and the other thing, & I give you tax exempt status. "Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power, and without the full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodology for economic conquest -- it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public." You can't be serious. God is an absurdity outside of fiction. It is the religious who don't have ears to hear, being a wicked generations seeking signs. These are the wolves in sheep's clothing: My sheep hear My voice. Even Jesus The Nailed, says faith is worthless if you can't move mountains by voice-command.

Psalm 16:1-11 [1]Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. [2]I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” [3]I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” [4]Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. [5]Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. [6]The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. [7]I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. [8]I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. [9]Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, [10]because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. [11]You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

[@sanctuary70]

John Lennox, yes you are making perfect sense. Sad , but is" truth is believed to be relative,"and that is an oxymoronic view. God's Truth is vertical; ours is is simply horizontal. We, as the hymn goes, "Dare To Be A Daniel; dare to stand alone. Mr. Lennox is right, God prepares us for the crisis. And Paui explains it so well in Hebrews chapter 11, the "faith chapter". And it starts out: " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." I do believe, that God led me to listen to this video. God bless you Sir.

[@j2q558]

We must also remember that Daniel and his fellow students had been made eunuchs. Yet... they kept faith with God so much so that we still talk about and admire them today.

Looking at book written in context of culture of Babylon Focuses on what helped him, what maintained him to maintain his public witness..not allowed to DO God in Public! Issues Conquest of Judea. D believed that God was behind this, history. Must have eyes to see God A was Dean of students: 3 years Course, and then examined by king. Hebrew names meaning: Daniel hebrew for ‘God is my Judge’ Dan I El Hananiah God is Gracious Mishael Who is like God Azariah God has helped Their names were aspects of the God they believed in. Babylonian names meaning: Belteshazzar Shadrach Command of the Moon god Meshach Who is what Aku is? (Social-engineering of identity by names) Abednego "Servant of Nabu" (Nabu is the Babylonian god of Wisdom and Nebuchadnezzar's favorite god). What is the base for morality? what is the authority behind morality? Attempt in history to socially engineer names. People find their identity on the net, not about relationship, personal identity gets lost. It’s all in the ‘name’. Social conditioning is increasing rapidly. Wearing a tracker. eg in China setting up perfect conditions for total surveillance dictatorship. Daniel warns us Force people to same mound, no identifying feature. How much of my life am I uploading? All part of a big back story See Babylon: Babel in Genesis: Babylon changes names. Babel: used human ingenuity to reach God Expression of ideology, to create a huge identity. How do we create identity? Abram lived near Babylon. God said ‘Come out, & I will make your name great’. 2 ways of creating identity: One is like Babylon, push YOURSELF up, get to the TOP Other is God says ‘Trust Me and I will make your name great’; do we trust God to give us identity. We all want MEANING..it’s a battle bc there are forces involved. God called Abram out, taught him how to trust God, and then through him brought a movement...be My witnesses THE WORLD IS NOT NEUTRAL TO YOU: IT WILL TRY TO CHANGE YOUR NAME, to force you in to a box, to disconnect you from God. Help is available: I go back to God for our identity. Naming of animals (Genesis) Man and woman names by God! Scripture speaks about Major issues The Babylonian empire collapsed, chapter 5, and Daniel went back to being called Daniel. They can call you what you like, but if your identity irelated to God, you won’t lose it. Daniel would not DEFILE HIMself with the king’s food: we know what defiles us! 1. History 2. Values 3. Identity 4. MORAL attitude 4. MORAL attitude He wasn’t going to defile himself: He reacted against the food and the wine: Daniel lived to see Chapter 1: the vessels taken from Jerusalem In chapter 5, this comes together, Belshazzar gets his men to drink from the vessels. YOU HAVE GOT TO FIND WAYS OF GOING AGAINST THE FLOW! Be sensitive.
