Timeless Questions & Gospel Insights Lecture 6: Revelation & Inspiration | Truman G. Madsen

Eight insightful lectures from philosopher, theologian, and intellectual heavyweight Truman G. Madsen. These lectures shed gospel light on age-old questions such as:
What makes us who we are?
What is man's relationship with God?
What is the nature of the Universe?
Am I free to choose?
What is God's role in man's suffering?
This is lecture 6: Revelation & Inspiration
Produced in 1998 (eleven years before his death), these lectures were his “summa philosophica,” a mixture of his “last lecture” and a summation of his understanding of Christian philosophy.

Nice. Thanks for posting his "final" lectures online. Truman's wisdom, wit and testimony has strengthened me through the years. Making them available here will help a new generation of LDS appreciate these insights.

Amazing. So inspiring. "How do you know a prophet is a prophet? Only when you are one. You must ultimately come to know in precisely the same way, namely the Spirit of God from heaven"

I have often made the comment to self-righteous atheists that I would much rather spend my life believing in God and following His commandments and in the end find out that I am wrong, than spend my life not believing and mocking those who do and finding out that I am wrong!

They typically respond by citing Pascals Wager, but they miss the vital element...which is the wager. What are they willing to put on the altar? Tell them that if they want to see God and know for themselves that He exists you can guarantee this. All they have to do is read their scriptures every day. Go to church every Sunday. Pray often. Fast 1x per month, Etc. for 40 years and they will receive Incontrovertible undeniable evidence that God exists. They won't last 2 weeks. They aren't willing to wager enough to get what they claim to seek.
