Man Challenges Dr. Tour on God's Justice | Question and Answer session at Ohio State University

[@hut8_newzealand361]

Speaking as someone who lives on an island, I can say that there were Maori here for about 800 years with no outside contact before Samuel Marsden presented the Gospel to them on 25 December 1814. Before Jesus arrived on this earth in human form, countless numbers of people lived and died without having the hope we now know. God's plan and way of working is more comprehensive than our modern concept of "asking Jesus into our heart". And his Justice is greater than the Grace of any man. I have full confidence that God's purpose of reconciling all men to him from any place or time period will be accomplished. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess and I believe this will be willingly and with wonder and awe.

[@hillarysudeikis2264]

Read Romans 1, it is clear that none are without excuse, Titus 2:11-12 also tells us the same thing, Acts 2 tells us that people from ALL OVER THE WORLD were in Jerusalem and heard and accepted the Gospel, they went back to wherever they came from and preached there it was up to the inhabitants of those regions to accept Christ or not, God is true, no one can accused Him of lying especially when it comes to His word, He can't lie. That's what scripture says. Those that perished in the flood were all preached to, the Bible is clear that most will go to hell, all who died without knowing the Gospel also got a chance to learn about God but they chose idolatry and it remains that way to this day, why do you suppose they killed that missionary, John Allen Chau, a couple of years ago? He told those islanders about Lord Jesus and they rejected the Gospel TWICE and eventually killed him on his third attempt.

God's Judgment and the Law 12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

[@danatowne5498]

Before I knew the Lord, I had the exact same question as the young man at the end of this video. I think you answered it in the best possible way. It is an emotional (not scientific) argument to say, "That isn't fair!!" But when you grow in knowledge and trust you see that without God there IS NO concept of "fair" to begin with. Justice is a concept that God puts in our hearts - to me, it is one of the biggest evidences FOR the attributes of God that the Bible describes. And then the indescribable mercy of the reality of Christ just leaves me (at least) without words for the gratitude I feel. Thank you for your patience with the younger versions of ourselves. :)

[@WizzRacing]

Exactly...He had no idea the Concept of Justice was from the Hebrew God himself. As well as the 100 other laws we practice today. Everything from Judges. Juries, Prison, Murder, etc...He was trying to have his cake and eat it too.. As he likes Sin. That way he can live by his own laws and rules. And thinks he will get away with it. Tell he runs up against the wrong Judge...

@@danatowne5498 That’s completely circular logic. Justice can exist without the Christian God, it could be another God The fact the biblical God isn’t just is evidence against him

[@danatowne5498]

@@clay8546 , to whose IDEA of "just" are you referring, and what makes that the "correct" justice? Answer these questions for yourself because I have my answers that involve a living God that knows much more about justice than I do. I could not convince you of that if you were not already predisposed to see it, only because that is the way human attention works. If you were not predisposed to look at things differently and think that only "Science" (which is a process, not a thing) and or "Logic" (as an end and not a means) are the only arbiters of truth, then you could not see what is not a "thing" to be grasped but a process to be lived and I couldn't trust in having a "good faith" conversation with someone who puts no value in "faith" anyway.

In regards to that last question about the island or Amazon Romans 2:14-15 "Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.

[@ACVoaMHeraldforTheKING]

@@derhafi Sure does. I am sorry you cannot see it. But you and Brien on here can do the typical mocking if you like. Or you can look a little deeper. The thing is, people have presuppositions.... And presuppositions lead you to interpret evidence the way your presuppositions lead you. When I was searching for truth and looking into evidence, it led me to God. My presupposition is that God is real.... And so now with the presupposition or the evidence led me, I can interpret evidence that I see in light of a creator. However, if you don't believe there's a creator, you can't make sense of anything. Now you're experience and practical walking in the world shows that you believe there is a creator because you take for granted logic, morals, trusting in your five senses, uniformity of nature, and many other things that you are confident in. However, if you believe that there is no God that created all of this, then you have no philosophy to explain any of that. You can't make sense out of any of it. If you believe that random chance brought forth all this life in the earth....(which by the way is not science but it is faith as well). I hope you are blessed by this debate.

Thanks Dr James Tour, your videos open my eyes and helped me to understand the bible, you answers many of the questions that I had,

[@MrOramato]

My brain was injured by hypoxia at birth. I was essentially on an island. My parents did not give up. Then when I was six years old, I had a Lung tumor that was misdiagnosed as Pneumonia. I spent weeks upon weeks in a Catholic hospital in an isolation unit connected by a tunnel directly to the convent. I spied my parents way down the hallway talking to the Doctor; they were both crying. I new I might die and I asked the novice nursing student “am I dying.” She spoke to me in her thick Irish (I think) accent. You can not die, because God has chosen you as one of his Children. And I have prayed for you to return home to your Mother and Dad. I learned at age 51 that I had germ cell tumor, and that there were signs that I had it previously in my lung as a child. The later time it nearly did end my earthly life. In the intervening my brain repaired itself ( Neuroplasticity as it is now known). My life has been full of pain, suffering, and the isolation that goes along with brain injury and severe pain. I even deal with suicidal thinking. But somehow I know God IS Just. I wonder how we are able to trust STEM, readily relying on the “empty set” to solve their problems, but we have so much skepticism relying on God’s love.

Did you never ask yourself why a Perfect omnibenevolent loving "God" would create things like BONE CANCER that causes untold suffering and death to millions of innocent children and their families. ? Just what "purpose" does it serve ? Did God not have a "choice" to create a world without bone cancer? How about the multitude of other Diseases, Tsunamis, Viruses, birth defects, Earthquakes, Floods, Famines, ect ect. ?? I think Epicurus put it much better than I ever could........ _"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able_ ? _Then he is not omnipotent_ _Is he able, but not willing_ ? _Then he is malevolent_ _Is he both able and willing_ ? _Then whence cometh evil_ ? _Is he neither able nor willing_ ? _Then why call him God"_ ? Epicurus

[@ldahui]

Dr Tour, regarding that last question, Romans 2:14-16 comes to mind. God works through the person of the Holy Ghost to speak to the hearts of the people whom have never heard the gospel from another human being

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

Thank you for everything you do Dr. tour!!

For those who has heard of god and jesus, they must listen and accept the teaching of jesus that the father is the only true GOD (john 17:3) and jesus is a MAN approved of god (acts 2:22). They will be judged accordingly.

Dr. Tour, I wish I had an hour of your time to personally tell you how you've helped me. Perhaps some day, but for now, this will have to do. My wife died last year, making me a Widower, twice, as my first wife died in 2013, and I'm only 52 now. My wife dying last year filled me with a rage that, truth be told, I largely aimed at God. My faith was not compromised by this, but it did put distance between myself and God. Admittedly, I am still struggling with this anger, but the distance I felt between God and I is shortening. This is largely due to my discovering your channel here on KZbin. For many years now, I have found people who approach the subject of Christianity from a scientific point of view to be very interesting, in that they have answered many questions that had bothered me for most of my life. Men like Kent Hovind (*yes*, Kent Hovind), Chuck Missler, and now yourself, you have all been so helpful in my Christian walk. I guess I just wanted to thank you for being there in a time when I needed to hear from someone like yourself. Couple more things... I agree with you completely regarding your answer to the guy asking about if he had grown up isolated on an Island. I had a similar conversation once with a person, claiming they were a Christian. Their belief was that if someone, somehow lived their life without ever being told about the Bible, that God would reject them, and they would go to Hell. I disagreed, telling them that the God I believe in is just and wise. The only just and wise decision God would make for someone who never knew the Bible existed, or was unable to comprehend scripture, the only just and wise decision to make is to give them a free pass. I'm talking about babys, children too young to understand scripture, people with mental health limitations such as retardation, etc. The God I believe in would never send them to Hell, and I'd want no part of a God who would. Lastly, I recently found out that you are going to be debating "professor" Dave in Houston this month. Man, I wish I could attend that! Don't hold back, Dr. Tour. Kick his ass! He needs to be humbled. Dave doesn't seem to understand the difference between a scientist who has accomplished as much as you have, and a guy who repeats what he's learned from people like yourself. Take that chump down, Doc!

[@djparsons7363]

Just to let you know, hell does not exist. That doctrine came from Greek philosophers, NOT from Scripture. It is a false teaching not found anywhere in early manuscripts.

[@ASMRMark]

@@djparsons7363 Hey DJ. Thanks for your input. I've found, when studying scripture, that what exactly happened to us, and in what order, to be confusing. I think I agree with you about Hell not existing...yet. So, here's the Reader's Digest version of my not totally committed to yet thoughts on the subject. I believe the possible way it will go is like this: Our Earthly bodies give out, quit, we die. I don't think we go to be with the Lord yet. Scripture seems to say that the dead will rise and be judged when Jesus returns and imprisons Satan in a fiery hole in the ground, after Michael defeats Satan in battle. That's a fight I look forward to watching! Anyway, I digress... If the dead rise and are judged after Jesus returns, then it doesn't really make sense that we immediately go to be with the Lord after our earthly body expires. If that were the case, would we be judged then and judged again after Jesus returns? That doesn't sound right. Which leads me to a theory, not scriptural, but just what makes sense to me. Until Jesus returns, I'm thinking that possibly, when our earthly body expires, our Spirit will go into some sort of dormant State, until Jesus returns and we rise again. I would guess that this theory is the type of thinking that lead the Catholics to believe in Purgatory, which could be just another word for a dormant state in waiting. I believe that it's possible that when the dead rise, it will be everyone, the Believers and the non believers, and this is when everyone will be judged. The Believers will be with the Lord after judgement. I believe it's Possible that the fiery hole in the ground that Jesus banished Satan to might be the place where the non-believers go after judgment. Lastly, I think it's possible that when this planet is restored to the way it was in the beginning, this will be what we refer to as Heaven. So, there it is. My wife, God rest her soul studied on this quite a bit. I'm not saying that the scenario that I just described is correct. It's just what I have been able to come up with from reading the text. All of it is subject to change and anytime if I discover something in the text that I missed.

[@djparsons7363]

@@ASMRMark Nice to hear from you and I certainly sympathize with your loss of two wives, that has to be extremely difficult to deal with. I'll share what I have learned in the last 50 years of Bible study. When we die, we do not continue conscious on any level, the Scriptures say our death is exactly the same as an animal's death. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) for there is an OUTCOME FOR HUMANS AND AN OUTCOME FOR ANIMALS; THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME OUTCOME. AS THE ONE DIES, SO THE OTHER DIES; AND THEY ALL HAVE BUT ONE SPIRIT. So MAN HAS NO SUPERIORITY OVER ANIMALS, for everything is futile. ALL ARE GOING TO THE SAME PLACE. THEY ALL COME FROM THE DUST, AND THEY ALL ARE RETURNING TO THE DUST. Obviously, like the animals, we don't continue conscious, we don't have an "immortal soul" and hell isn't possible since there is no consciousness after death. The only ones that are raised up when Christ returns are a small remnant of the 144,000 who are still on earth and are taken to Heaven. This is what is incorrectly thought to be a "rapture". (1 Thess. 4:15-17) A resurrection of billions who have died will take place during the 1,000 year Kingdom, that is when your wife will live again. There has been a great deal of false confusing teachings from the churches but the truth is much simpler to understand. Hope this helps.

[@ASMRMark]

@@djparsons7363 Hey DJ, thank you for your condolences regarding my wives dying. Yes, it's been very difficult. I was doing better following three years of misery after my first wife's death. Then I met Sheila, and married her. Five years later she does. Makes me wonder why did I even bother with falling in love again?!?! Someone once asked, "to have loved and lost, or never to have loved at all?" Pretty good question, especially for those who have lost their spouse. After my second wife died, it didn't compromise my faith, but it did make me put some distance between myself and God for a while. I had a lot of anger in me. I closed to that distance between God night when I realized that there is no reason to be mad at God. I chose both of the women I married. God didn't make me marry two women who both died very young. I made that choice. It's very easy during difficult times like that to react and blame God. But that angers always misplaced when you put it on God. The sad tragic events of our lives are always, if you really think about it, result from choices that we make, nothing that God makes us do. I don't believe God interferes like that. Okay, subject change... When does this Thousand-Year something or another take place? Another subject change: have you kept up with the feud between dr. Tour and professor Dave? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Professor Dave is a smart guy, but I disagree with many of his beliefs or non beliefs. And the way that he talks about the people online that he chooses to Target is so disrespectful and irritating. Being the lover of science that he says he is, one would think that he would show dr tour more respect, despite the fact that he disagrees with Dr tours beliefs. And Doctor tour isn't the only one on KZbin that Dave has been incredibly disrespectful to. I know this isn't the most Christian way to think, but I'm a former boxer, and sometimes there's people that just need to get their ass kicked. I look forward to this kicking when they debate.

[@djparsons7363]

@@ASMRMark Actually, I just stumbled on this video, I was familiar with Dr. Tour and his brilliance for a while but I didn't know about this feud. I just subscribed to his videos so I'll be following him more closely. Right now I don't know what Dave believes. As for the 1,000 years, that will happen after Armageddon which is God's war against all the human Governments on earth. Christ's Kingdom will then be the only Government that will exist and will bring in 1,000 years of peace during which the earth and all humans will reach perfection. All sicknesses will be done away with, the resurrection will happen and no one will be in fear of anything, even the animals will all be tamed. All of that would have happened already if Adam and Eve didn't sin bringing 6,000 years of misery but God didn't change His mind, that will all still happen. Only the 144,000 go to Heaven, they are the Kings and Priests in that Kingdom Government that will help us achieve perfection.

God is absolute pure love.. He created every one of us because of His love.. there is nothing unjust that is bound to God God puts you on a path that you CAN handle.. Life is a test of soul.. regardless If you're alone on an island or if your entire family got massacred. A mother loses her child and says "How can God be good if he took my child away?" God gave you your body and He also gave the miracle which was your child !! Everything you know and have is ALL GIVEN by God !! Ever see dirty muddy birds in the tree or obese wild animals?? God gives us what we need.. not what we want!

[@ski6703]

Young student on the the Island: Feelings and thinking are done in the spiritual, in our mind. The "hearer of prayers" and we, too, communicate in MANY ways. Inspiration? That is a form of communication w/the spiritual...a desire is a form of inner/spiritual communication. THE father of the human family (the REAL big guy) gave us music, food, sex, family, etc. and the desire/thinking of/pursuing these things are ways of spiritual communication. The point is God can communicate with HIS creation in many ways. Just something to ponder...
