[@imbluz]

This man's intelligence is monumentally profound. I'm shocked he never became a mainstream figure.

[@camsmith931]

Perhaps he didn't want to, mainstream suggests fame, which he may not of desired?

[@pwwatson8888]

Are you? The wisdom of God is foolishness to the world and RC was full of God's wisdom.

I don't believe in God but I've always liked this cat. He's always a gentleman and is actually trying to be intellectually honest. Cheers

[@ashleyhongcuay4181]

And your being intellectually dishonest for not being to believe in God.

[@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube]

@@ashleyhongcuay4181, intellectually dishonest? You've never even met me, bub. I'm assuming that you're in the Calvinist sect so you shape your worldview through that lens but I do not obviously. I'll tell you what, why don't you tell me EXACTLY why I'm being intellectually dishonest. Lay it on me. I'll bet that the conversation doesn't go as you plan but I'll give it a go.

[@georgeburks3755]

The Case for God using scripture: Romans 1-20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse Kent Hovind said God created time, space and matter and they have to come into existence in the same instant. If there were matter but no space, where would you put it? If there was matter and space but no time, when would you put it? Genesis 1-1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter).

[@danielbabson9782]

That is a powerful verses and analogy

[@Emrio3]

Your worshipping Jesus instead of the Almighty creator of man God

[@Emrio3]

God will come first you will be judged

[@Emrio3]

Are you discreting my faith in God for my mistakes

[@STARRANISE-cv5qt]

Man he was brilliant..

[@smeatonlighthouse4384]

Are you a born again of the spirit of God Christian? If you are you are indwelt by that same Holy Spirit and are a new creation in Christ Jesus. The effect on your life is completely noticeable to yourself and to others. That is all the proof you need that God is real. The people who don't believe are the ones that are blind without faith, not the other way round.

[@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ]

And unless God gives someone the faith to believe, they will not believe. Faith is not of ourselves, it’s a gift of God, by His grace and mercy. God gives us the faith to believe, our believing results in being spiritually reborn from above by receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit of Christ, and it’s the indwelling Holy Spirit that seals us and keeps us persevering in our faith. We have to be born again in order to be transformed by the renewing of our mind, and receiving a new heart, created a new creature in Christ. It’s the power of God that turns us from ungodly sinners into godly children of Christ who pursue righteousness and eschew sin. The sanctification by the Holy Spirit makes us more like Christ in how we live and treat others throughout our walk of faith.

[@LittleCatGaming132]

I believe this lesson is more for people trying to spread the word, so if you're evangelizing you have an answer for the many logical fallacies that people hold on to. If you are Christ's then you know that you are to love people as you love yourself and you wouldn't keep the savior from yourself, so help the blind brother :)

[@funhistory]

If this subject interests you, I'd recommend listening to Drs. Sproul & Bahnsen debate it (1977 audio currently on 2 other YT channels). The proof that God exists (assuming you BELIEVE it's possible to prove anything) is that without God, you can't give an ultimate proof of anything (Aristotle's "necessity"). Per Romans 1v21, we all know God exists, but we don't all acknowledge it.

Is Presuppositionalism connected to the moral law written on all our hearts, which includes knowledge of one God?

[@sdit4500]

I would like RC to explain how Paul was a self proclaimed apostle without meeting the qualifications set forth in Acts 1. Go ahead RC! .21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.” 23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.

[@Garenzo314]

That is not a prerequisite for every apostle my dude. Just a partial requirement needed for importance to the people living in that time - someone who had seen Jesus before His ressurrection, and had seen him at that time when he appeared out from Heaven. This person needed to be someone who was not an apostle beforehand, but someone who had seen Jesus in both instances. This infers a crossover that Jesus is for all people of all time. The absolute truth of the holy spirit resides in us as the essence that binds our life to existence itself. God is within you.

[@joshuacollins7470]

Presup and Classical arguements are simply looking at the Apologetics from different angles.

[@joshhigdon4951]

I am and hold to the transcendental presupposition style, but respect anyone's position to validly defend their faith. Presuppositional is easiest for the average layman

[@ilikebeans3821]

Would you mind spelling it out for me in layman’s terms? I googled it but am still confused

[@randykuhns4515]

We can choose to Seek in need, thus believe, or not Seek,.. and easily scoff,.. if that's your desire,.. Through the Covenant of Faith we are abled to see as is spoken of in Romans 1 which allows us to know He is Mighty, and knows all, and even the scoffers know He has given us a Book to be able to know Him by, With this line of reason we can Believe He certainly does Exist, So when a scoffer looks up to Heaven and demands to see, in truth he is really listening for that familiar hollow ring of nothing, fortifying his disbelief, as God sees him as not at all Seeking even though he mimics seeking,...the pretense of their goal isn't the need for God, but to PROVE to themselves He doesn't exist thus, God Bestows no Faith to them and their heart stays hardened, as they wish it to be.

[@WhiskeySam1]

I'd like to know what he said just before this.

[@MrMrsMGTow]

So far its blind faith for most. Odds and probability are just trying to peek. Rationality is stronger but still weak unfortunately. Honestly the best argument is rooted in science or I should say observable reality. Energy is alive is the key.

[@Bibliotechno]

He calls.

[@kathy8013]

Amen

[@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ]

Amen, Jehovah must FIRST call us to Christ, because He gives us the faith to believe, by His mercy and grace. That faith leads to being born again, and the indwelling Holy Spirit as a result of the new birth leads to our sanctification and regeneration. Praise Jesus!

[@paulhadlington8179]

Two flaws with this delivery: 1)Pagans DO BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD , albeit a different god, or more often gods, and subsequently might well use the same arguments. 2) Whilst he may state otherwise, RC Sprouls arguments for a god are Presuppositional... He simply inserts his presupposed god into the equation at a later stage.

[@denissutherland3653]

The only way to be saved and it is the essence of Christian faith is to hand ovber your thinking to Jesus so he can resurrect you to be angel like him and to think like him which is God's original design for man before he allowed satan to corrupt that design.

[@Emrio3]

God knows all about abstract minds you are trying to prove that You shouldn't worship idol Make no mistake I wouldn't want to say God doesn't exist

[@JS-nr7te]

GOD doesn't exist by the meaning of the word. Watch RC's short video explaining how God doesn't exist because He is pure Being.

[@Emrio3]

Make no mistake I am the antichrist God will come first you should only worship 1 God my creator
