And you hear him now, which is prove that when God called us to do something, example as teacher like David, and it's for many and the many could be people that David will never met in his lifetime Like what God doing with Charles Spurgeon too, his sermon is already 100 years yet still make sense But we will met them later in heaven

I like how Gooding does not primarily answer the question of why we should believe the Bible as merely a head issue, regarding facts and historical support, but rather, for what really is a heart issue - how the Bible alone provides us a real answer for our sins, namely, the centrality of Jesus as our only hope as sinners.

Briliant. How dull and empty atheism appears against this light.

Vanakkam! According to the Bible, Eve disobeyed the Creator. When the Creator is so powerful. Why did he create someone who disobey him. Why Eve?why not Adam? Moreover , why should the Creator allow Eve to persuade Adam to disobey. Why didn't he give the rational thinkinking for Adam and Eve.? Why did he created the saviour in the form of Man ( Jesus) why not in the form of a woman?

Karma without forgiveness makes life here a hell and a prison without hope of escape. A number of years ago I sat next to a young fellow on an airplane. I was returning from an OM summer missions trip focused on sharing the gospel with Muslims in London. The other person next to me was from Denmark. He was coming to America to be a Hindu "evangelist", seeking to convert Americans to Hinduism. Being around a 12 hour flight, I let him talk for quite some time, asking questions occasionally and listening to his replies. After some time I asked him about karma and then I asked him if there was anything in his religion about one person taking on the karma of another person. He said that there was but that it was a very dangerous thing to attempt and only a very advanced and holy person would ever dare such a thing. I then used his answer to communicate the gospel truth that on the cross, Jesus Christ took our sins (not really the same thing as karma) on himself. Which demonstrated his love and His deity. Only a sinless and infinite person could die for the sins of billions of other people. Although I had listened to him at great length, when I mentioned this he severed all communication and refused to speak or listen to me for the remainder of the flight. I saw him later in a US customs line next to mine and he glared at me, seemingly with anger and hatred. May God forgive and have mercy on him. Gooding's account of the research chemist from Asia illustrates the real world implications of a religion or a worldview. The absence of forgiveness in a family context is horrendous. Likewise, the concept of karma opens the door to the grossly discriminatory caste system and a cruel and callous indifference to the suffering of others. Not to mention the hopelessness of an infinite repetition of not knowing what you did wrong in a supposed past life, making it impossible to learn and do better in one's present life. Only infinitely adding to your karmic debt. Prof John Lennox - Tribute to David Gooding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJbJi2yrfp2KaJY Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory."
