Then honestly I don't agree with Frank Turek's line of questioning. Because if you're not moral then you would be immoral right?

[@thefighter5182]

Honestly I believe that Frank Turek is saying everyone have no rights if you don't have a moral standard.

Mav "has ADHD so bad, he can't read a book" but tries to speak from a place of knowledge, and prove his point by speaking over Frank Turek, while not wanting to listen to a word, either spoken or written. He didn't want open discussion, or an exchange of viewpoints, he wanted Mr Turek to "apologize for the blood on his hands." In all the things I've watched from Frank Turek, I've never heard him get angry, be hateful or abusive to anyone regardless of how he is treated. Yet he is hated, without warrant. Didn't Jesus say "They hate Me, they will hate you also?" Chilling to see.

Its just nonsensical, disingenuous, fear porn. ALL therapy is "conversion" therapy. The entire point of therapy, is to convert people from one state, to another. Converting the depressed, to not depressed. The trauma affected, to those who can deal with their trauma, etc etc. Therapy is an attempt to convert a disordered person. to an ordered person. Th phrase, "conversion therapy", is just another bastardization of language, turning it into a weapon against an "enemy".

By the way, it’s the U.S. Declaration of Independence that says the inalienable rights part, not the U.S. Constitution. Also, a teacher of mine once said that your “rights” cannot come from the government; otherwise, they become privileges that they or a new government can take away.

[@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom]

Oh goodness! What a silly slip up on my end! Thanks for the correction. And you’re absolutely right! Rights come from God 🙌

[@paulnash6944]

Completely based. The word, “rights,” implies dignity. The main issue I have with secular humanist philosophy is that they don’t base their rights on anything beyond ourselves. Why fight for rights if they can just be taken from you with the next regime change?

[@aComedicPianist]

⁠@@paulnash6944That’s also why the source of your rights should not be able to change easily or, even better, not be able to change at all. Otherwise, they’re probably not truly rights because they can then be taken away. If people want to change what rights are or what rights they have, they assume they have control and authority over morality and can change it whenever they want to. Only God can be the source of objective morality, always unchanging and having complete authority over it. Objective morality comes from objective truth, and the Word of God is the objective truth.

That verse and: 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." Matthew 7:21-23 This verse is the most terrifying verses in the entire Gospel to me.

He becomes our adopted father and a very loving one at that. He is a personal being who knows each one of us inside out, and He Jesus died so we enter into a loving relationship with Him. To restore humanity back into a relationship with Himself for that link was lost when Adam and Eve ate of the tree. In the bible we are told to be child-like - not childish for that is foolishness but child-like in our faith. A child who has a good set of responsible parents trust their very lives into their hands, no questions asked. Children follow with great faith but adults have a bad habit of trusting in their own understanding and self sufficiency. God wants us to trust in Him and not to worry about anything for He is in control. That's childlike faith.

Their fuzzy thinking allows them to equivocate. When I ask why c0nv3rsi0n therapy is wrong, they say because some people would try to do it through torture and kidnap people to do it. Then I ask them why not just ban torture and kidnapping, then? That’s not the point, though - they want to conflate the goal with the method, and so ban the goal by condemning a method - like banning ‘curing illness’ because bloodletting is harmful.

There is no being a Christian again. You either are or you aren't. A drop of water entering a bigger body of water can't extract itself, a Christian can't separate themselves from God. John 10:28, Hebrews 13:5. 1 John 2:19 tells us about those who left because they were never part of us to begin with. Too many people practice the religion of Christianity without understanding that the "life and life more abundantly" - John 10:10 - comes from a personal relationship with God the Father and has nothing to do with religion.

[@Mr-Moron]

There is being Christian again. Just because the water drop covered in the sin of oil cannot be apart of the ocean doesn't mean it cannot wash off that oil to join proper. There are those who believe they are Christian when they are not, but that does not mean they cannot cast their sin away and seek a godly life free of it all. The thief on the cross was minutes from death after decades of sin, he was still welcomed into the kingdom of God.

What nonsense about moral standards. There is no objective morality! Morality is a subjective set of behavioural standards that allows us to live and work cooperatively in social groups. It is an evolved trait that let our ancestors work together in groups that enhanced our survival as a species. That's why moralities differ between groups and can change in a group over time. The social group decides collectively what is right or wrong and this has gradually been refined to our present laws, rules, and social norms. The same behaviour has been observed in other primates, Jane Goodall's work with chimpanzee for one example. If we accepted an absolute biblical morality we'd still be stoning homosexual men to death and women who weren't virgins on their wedding night.

Thus, "pragmatic morality", as Brandon puts it. I am afraid that Frank's starting by questioning Matt, instead of offering a direct answer to his question with respect for Mav's reasonable point, interfered with the possibility of communicating effectively. The Socratic method requires two participants who can engage similarly. I feel for Mav. He needs a conversation with a believer who first of all listens to 'their' understanding, validates 'their' position in the ways that it is reasonable, before confronting the illogical parts of it in order to address the confusion Mav clearly experiences without quite recognizing it.

It was considered “pragmatically moral” to kill off Jews in gas chambers at one point in our recent history. If evolution, as you put it, is supposed to put pressure on society to be more cohesive and collaborative, the said evolutionary forces could not have failed more terribly during that time. If pragmatic morality that is context- and era-dependent overrules any notion of objective morality, what gave those judges sitting at Nuremberg trial any right to condemn anything? What gives us any right to say that slavery in America was wrong, when it was very much pragmatic and normal to own slaves back then? One set of morality standards may be very wrong but very pragmatic to some people or some cultures (i.e. ancient civilizations who sacrificed their children to appease their false god). I believe Pragmatic morality is nothing more than a fancy name for subjective morality, a rather poorly-supported theory proposed by evolutionary social scientists to explain away their dilemma with God-given objective morality.

The "RESURRECTION of the DEAD" is the Creator's guarantee that all lowly, ordinary, kind, and respectful persons on earth who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Job, Ruth, Naomi, King David, Daniel, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others will all be RESURRECTED back to life in the right and proper time so they can happily, abundantly, and peacefully live and exist on earth forever as subjects and citizens of the "KINGDOM of GOD" and fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, goodness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth.

Hi Brandon, I have been reading about rational presuppositionalism (Cornelius Van Til) - antitheism presupposes theism, which I think is really at the heart of Dr. Turek’s work. In my own life, I feel as though my attempt to seek God through rational thought is sometimes at war with my faith in Christ. Do you think there is a danger in “leaning on our understanding”, or seeking God through logic and rational thought as opposed to reading/preaching scripture?

[@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom]

Really appreciate this comment! Yes, I do there there is a danger in that. I’m doing a fairly specific thing on this channel that I believe God has called me to, but certainly, it’s only one small piece of the whole. People are in deep deep need of prayer, worship, Christian fellowship, Scripture reading & study, confession of sin, going into the prayer closet and seeking the face of God alone, and much more. So, yes! I wholeheartedly agree with your concern! If all someone ever did was watch KZbin videos that would not be much of a spiritual life.

[@Chidds]

Evolution by natural selection _does_ occur based on survival of the fittest. However, that phrase is misused by Frank and others to mean the domination of brutalness. By contrast, the real meaning refers to inheritable traits that aid organisms to successfully reproduce within a given environment. Attributes like compassion, fairness and empathy absolutely do make sense within a world where those best adapted to an environment thrive. Is Frank being intentionally dishonest or he is scientifically illiterate? That remains to be seen. Regardless of the reason for Frank and others spreading blatant misinformation, it is clear the objection used against natural morality falls apart. Frank's other objection that natural morality is just opinion-based makes no sense. The position is moral values are ingrained into human nature. Therefore, those values are not subject to feelings, biases or opinions.

I’m a Christian and I believe that morality is written on the hearts of humans by God, but I completely agree with you. I don’t think his argument holds up.

What is baffling is your belief is a typical Christianity. Natural morality is perfectly compatible with Christianity. The problem is in the way apologists try to argue for God.

[@johnroemeeks]

First of all, you would have to prove that life came from non- life by naturalistic means and also that all life evolved from a Common ancestor. You presuppose that, but you cant prove it. Secondly, If evolution were true, you can't get Objective morals without an authority outside of human beings. It would only be subjective if only subjects were involved. What you consider good, others might disagree with you and consider it bad. For example, we say Homosexuality is immoral, but many Liberals say it's not. Who's right? How do we know? Because God says it's immoral. So therfore its objectively wrong. But if God didn't exist, it would be a stalemate. With two opposing views. You would have no standard to know who was right. If God exists (which he does), he can make rules and tell me what to do, but you cannot tell me what to do, because you are a human being like me, and if our brains are just chemicals, whose to say the chemical reactions in your brain is superior over my chemical reactions. Evolution did not put morals in us, our Creator did. And we are not just chemical reactions, we have a soul and a spirit that transcends our physical body. Without God nothing is objectively wrong.

Anyways, from the biblical perspective it's not normal and the only reason we see animals do it is because they are part of a fallen creation just like me and you. I would also say that looking to animals for validation is not good. We are not animals. Limiting our existence to our biology is more dehumanizing than any probably any religious text.

I hope you all see that he did not answer the question being asked but he asked another question. Also, there is no evidence for an objective morality, as far as we can tell society is operating on a subjective morality. Also, the bible is not the only book on Morals. Before Christianity people have moral laws. Though many belief strong it was their God giving it to them. Society ends up with different morals. This chow it is subjective. It makes sense that all humans be given rights because you want to have rights Frank. I want to have rights and be able to live my life. As a result, I am for people having rights. Also, throughout history there have been many people who have 0 rights. Slaves no right, women little rights, poor no rights, and so on. Again, showing that human right is not grounded in your God. You can do better Frank. Now to you Brandon, make sense. If you are going to use a quote, then understand the quote. The things in the world as expected to be like that if there is no God. People stealing, people being kind, and a mix of variety of things. If there is a god then there is no excuse for evil, especially if it is the Christian God. We are not trying to have a cake and eat it too or whatever the saying is. Through evolution humans developed the sense that we survive when our brothers and sisters survive. Human right is quite recent thing as I have pointed out. This is through evolution. Brandon I believe in you too, make some sense please.

She definitely had valid points that he did not validate. Everything that she said was correct. I’m not going to say anymore about that except she put him in checkmate and he took the easy way out. We are direct descendants of our own evolution of learning to care for one another, have empathy for one another, and doing whatever is needed to ensure the survival of our species and aloud humans to thrive over other species that were in direct competition with us such as Neanderthals. Good and evil is a made up premise to label doing something that the church does and doesn’t want people doing. This in turns create fear that drives the church to be able to use hell as a fear inducing concept to get its followers to do what the church says is “good”.

Your assertion that they were correct about everything is not correct. They were not right about the theory of evolution being anything beyond the foundation of 'survival of the fittest'. Even if in some other plane of existence that were actually true, the example of taking care of the elderly for propagation of the species is beyond laughable. Without an objective morality wouldn't it make more sense to get rid of all the old, cripple, lame, etc. to insure that we're not wasting resources on those that can no longer contribute?

​@@SuperROFLWAFLIt's not laughable. We often think of elderly people as wise. That is they are able to communicate life experiences and knowledge that do assist us.

[@liben5052]

​​​@@nitsujism I think it's okay to say we like doing good for nonevolutionary reasons. Like picking up trash or helping someone who dropped a paper- these good acts are done out of a selfless love. You make it sound selfish when you say "actually evolution says its good for the individual when more people live to serve us, even in unconventional ways" like... capitalistic kindness...? Don't we all think people have inherent value? That even the time spent with them is a contribution to society? On the flip side, I would say jealousy is an evolutionary trait. Hatred, malice, and manipulation- they all are inherent and the intent to profit the individual and not society. If we go with the cold "logical" reasoning, you have something to gain (wisdom) from feeding your grandma- but I know that's not what you meant. I think we need to stop "infantilizing" the concept of good or bad, and about love. The bible defines love as patient, kind, selfless, and humble, and the more we think on it, we can see which Christians actually understood the assignment and which perverted the word to do exactly what you said.

[@Vorm17]

The people God calls on to be destroyed were sinners and were committing incredibly evil acts. Burning babies for sacrifice and the like. God is all powerful and has a right to punish those that have gone against Him. I know that doesn't sound like the loving God we Christians like to talk about. But the truth is that God's justice and power cause us to have a healthy fear and awe that brings about a right relationship with Him. Not only that but God's justice doesn't stop Him from still being incredibly loving! This is why the message of Jesus Christ is so important, He loved us so much that he offers Himself in the form of a man as the sacrifice to cover our sins. Why is this necessary? Because it is impossible for God to forgive and be just without someone taking the punishment. God was always trying to bring the people of the world to Him, to trust in Him. That was what Israel was for! They are are called to be a nation of priests, to be the one that shows God outward so that others might see and trust in Him. Even Israel fails time and time again. God allows punishment from their sins, and then redeems them all throughout Exodus, Deuteronomy, Judges, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings, and more. If that isn't a patient and loving God who doesn't just get angry and outright kill everyone then I don't know what is. In the end questioning God about how He dishes out justice isn't correct because you've immediately placed yourself above God. These questions are important and asking them is okay, but one must approach them in understanding who God is and who we are. God is holy, that is part of who he is. We are sinners, which separates us from a proper relationship to Him and means we are deserving of punishment.
