Sometimes i think God's silence is necessary to show us what life is without Him.

May I say something about suffering? I'm a woman in the Middle East. I'm familiar with pain and suffering, I know them intimately. The pain and suffering, their intensity and utter hopelessness brought me to Jesus. Had I not been drifting in that pitch black darkness, I could never have seen the light of God. You need to know both. It's like those drawings with charcoal, shadow and light play together to create a beautiful picture. Seems immature to expect only goodness in the world. How would we learn anything then?

I can spend hours and hours watching and listening to John Lennox and I never get tired 👏👏👏

We need more people from the Academic community to speak out on their faith. If they are believers. It's refreshing to hear highly intelligent men talking about their faith and why they believe. I hope that made sense. Thank you for sharing this video.

Why did God not intervene with the suffering in this broken world? Actually, He will! I look forward to the day when God will console his people who have endured suffering and that there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or anguish because God will wipe every tear from our eyes. Herein is the utmost goodness that God possesses!

My respect for this man is ever growing, every single video I have seen him speak on Christ is totally refreshing and I wish all people had the ability to speak so intellectually clear and straight forward! May the lord bless you ❤

Thanks God for John Lennox. He's a good representative of Christian faith.

Thank you so much for these videos; I watch them over and over until I have them memorized. God bless you, always.

My Mum was nurse in British hospital in India during World war 2, the Surgeon General of hospital, Always said prayers to God before he performed the operstions on people.

This is magnificent! So many practical examples of how to explain Christianity to others. I feel like I have been rebooted in my faith by the truth I just listened to! 🙌🏼

Golden wisdom from John Lennox. Great awesome answers of those familiar questions of our faith. With some humor along. Jesus bless us all our journeys.🥰✝️🙏💞

Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely wonderful conversation! I can only confirm what Professor John Lennox said about Germany: look at what is happening right now in this country! It’s so sad … One can only cry 😢 😢😢 Anyway, I would like to express once again my sincere gratitude for sharing this interview on this channel! 💐💐💐 May God bless you all! Amen ✝ Kind regards, Anna

Why do you think Cristianity is on the decline in Europe? Great answer by Professor Lennox. Another thing I want to point out is the rise of bolshevism or neo bolshevism as I'd like to call it, in Western Europe, even though the example of bolshevik terror, pain and suffering in the Eastern Europe is right there for evereyone to see and the memories are still very much alive. I'm Albanian by the way and even though I was a kid in the 80s I remember pretty much everything. It goes to show you how stupid the human pcyche in the Western Europe it actually is. Gold fish intelligence. The same thing goes to us in the Eastern Europe I guess, for adopting bolshevism in the 1940s, when the example of Stalin's death and destruction was out in the open. Bless you Professor Lennox!!! Keep up the good work!

Wowwww so well said !! Making it so logical to accept Jesus from our birth!! Holy Spirit is talking through this humble man!!

I wish you were in the United States. We are starved to hear the truth in the way you explain it …….I’m forever changed 🙏🏻

Very inspiring to all spiritual persons who are studying further!

On the cross, God has become a man, Jesus, who has offered himself as a sacrifice for our sins. He who had no sin to atone for, took our place who had sin to atone for. Only the spotless, sinless one had the ability to atone for what we had done. God was just in accepting that sacrifice, that payment for all mans sins, because it was not wiping it away for free, but at His cost.

I love listening to this gentleman he makes everything so clear. I could listen to him for hours. I find myself looking for the next video and the next one!!

This is just so wonderful. Thank you

Flat earth theory is not believing, but quite the opposite, we’re being lied to about everything, some people just choose to go with their own eyes and senses rather than governments telling what to believe in.

Brilliant!!😊. Thank you so much.

To improve the efforts of encouraging others… We all are oblivious to: The Affects of Critical Criticism on a perfectly good relationship. Critical Criticism is how we can express ourselves with positive intentions (because we believe we’re being Constructive) to others. Yet somehow our statement results with a negative response. This stimulates a reaction from us… Thus ultimately cutting off the lines of proper communication and closing the window of opportunity. The negative interaction was not simply because others are sensitive and don’t want to listen to anyone tell them what to do or what they should be doing, or what they’re doing wrong. And it’s certainly not because we said what was needed to be said and they just didn’t want to comprehend. The avoidable error is created when we mistake Critical Criticism for Constructive Criticism and then never adjust or correct the poor mentality.

What a wonderful closing speech, Thank you Dr John Lennon❤️🙏🏻

The one who says, “Love your enemies” is definitely a God, because enemies are God’s creation as well, and we have not heard of any other religion that says, “Love your enemies.” If these words were applied to people, evil would be eliminated from the earth. This is what makes Christianity, which is an extension of Judaism, a unique religion.

Dear Dr. John Lennox, I truly admire and share your sharp and brilliant discussions with many..! Keep going, we are listening, sharing, expanding the tent of believers around the world..! My brief contribution to the last audience member two part question: 1) Why is there evil in the world..? We live in a fallen world..! 2) Why natural disasters, pain, disease, suffering in the world..? To bring the lost closer to God..! To give non-believers wake up call to seek the face of God in Christ Jesus..! In addition, to give believers more opportunities to share the good news of gospel in their own life, family, community..., and leading the brokenhearted to Christ, showing the way and giving hope during and beyond circumstances of hopelessness, pain, suffering..! Amen..! Blessings to all from Arizona..! Jesus is Lord..!🙏🙌❤️

Only the carrier shell or Ark is different. The template it’s framed on is like anything else from antiquity. It’s just dovetails incredibly well with fearful humans who need ways to not have to see reality.

Love the Yule decorations!

Sad to see Dr. Lennox write off any idea without first considering it (Earth being a level stationary plain). He doesn't seem like he'd be in lock step with "consensus science", but then no one's totally immune to cognitive dissonance.

Chesterton: If you don't believe in anything, you will fall for everything. Amen

Dude hearing John Lennox talk about angels is inspiring.

"I was poisoned by the secret police", the host laughs out loud! Priceless.

Thank you for sharing!

Some people think the utility of Christianity is important, and to a degree, I agree. However, I am far more interested in the question is it true, rather than is it useful. I remain unconvinced that it is true.

Peace!!!!

Beautiful ending ❤

Love this guy 👍 Mr. Lennox

Appreciate John Lennox

In answer to the posed question... "Tangibilty, the fact that you're dying, the fact that the experience ceases when you do, just as it did before you"

Oh, sing my heart! Hallelujah!

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything!

Believing in God answers very few questions. You have to take the next step and believe in the bible and to me that is a giant step especially when the bible looks like many other books that we know are made by people making up stories, getting many things completely wrong.

31:35 “Acceptance” (from God) happens at the beginning “. I’ll use this from hereon

Does anybody know who's the Romanian brother that was speaking?

I wonder if John Lennox is aware of flat earthers being mostly Christian.. or that it’s biblically accurate.

I'm a big fan of John Lennox :)

This was a really great discussion, thanks for posting it! I’m sad to see so much hate in the comments but I’m sure the points made have to get those searching for the truth thinking seriously.

I am Romanian and I concur 100%

Thank you so much John Lennox

Prof John Lennox for Education Minister, to get rid of filth they put in the schools. God bless Prof Lennox

Prof. Lennox is an admirable and thoughtful Christian. Nevertheless I cannot help but be curious about how he sees, as a Christian, the genocide currently unfolding in Palestine, or, the devastation incurred in Iraq under false pretense, or, going back further for that matter, the morals of the British Opium wars committed on another country, before he holds and promotes his strong conviction on his 'persecution of the uyghur' belief. I wish Prof. Lennox did not get his strong conviction on the 'uyghur persecution' from the BBC and the like. How much time has Prof. Lennox spent in Xinjiang, or in China, for example? As a Christian myself, I sincerely wish Prof. Lennox the best, because the first loyalty of a Christian is to Truth, not to political ideology, however deeply ingrained. May God Bless you.

Hallelujah ❤❤❤

The singular difference among the many religions is, that Christianity is the ONLY one guaranteeing Hope for Salvation from Hell's certainty, by Faith in the Blood and Resurrection of Jesus Christ...not by one's works. Hallelujah 🙏🙏

it's called free will and if GOD steps in at any time you no longer have free will.

We'll, you got close at the end there. God is a relationship between three persons that are one. A communion of love. There must be at least an I/Thou for there to be love. The pear Fox of the Trinity ( one God , three persons) is the most pregnant revelation of all in my opinion. Read the first 20 pages of Fr Stephen DeYoung's masterful book, "The Religion of the Apostles"

Whatever happened to Esther?

The small minded attempts to make big brained demonstrations is truly something to behold by some atheists in this sphere. It has to be childhood trauma

Any mindful atheist who strived to genuinely live an impeccable virtuous life the best he/she could , given the knowledge, insight , understanding, and wisdom he/she has at any given time , and led this life with love and kindness , is much better than some religious person doing it bc of reward or punishment from the wrath of god type of mindset (not genuine at all) . Be self responsible and accountable for your choices and actions . You create your own “heaven or hell “ from moment to moment with your thoughts, words and actions in the only like we know we have for certain . And if whatever god there may be keeps you from heaven merely bc the fact that you reject him and hurt his feelings instead of being judged on your conduct , then that god would not be worthy of respect nor worship . Separate the “concept of god” and msn made gods like yaweh and zeus and thor and ra and the other thousands of man made gods

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. (James 1:27 ESV)

‘What does atheism offer a dying person?’ It seems arrogant to presume ‘a dying person’ needs to be offered anything, other than relieve of pain, for comfort, if required and if possible the presence of non-religious family loved ones. Especially if you have lived a ‘longish’ life. To ‘slip away’ knowing that you’ve contributed what YOU can during your time on earth, is quite enough. If you are aware of loving family members at your side, then what more do you need? Certainly not a guilt/sin ‘obsessed’ priest, or other (Their interference is really for THEIR benefit), poking their nose in, as too many seem entitled to do and are puzzled if their presence is refused. Memories of you may or may not live on in the minds of those you loved, but if you believe that to be probable, then that is more than enough to ‘go quietly into that good night’ (to misquote Dylan Thomas - no need for ‘rage’). Certainly NOT to meet some mythical ‘maker’!

Answer Yes ✅ The Bible is a flat earth book

Atheism offers me the fact that this life is all I get. That we are all dying people from the moment of conception. That I need to cherish this life that I know I have instead of pining away for something that is claimed but unsubstantiated in any way, that simply appeals to my mammal existential dread of dying with false promises. Atheism shows me to love everyone as hard as I can NOW. That's real. Which is more than anyone can say about Christianity.

If you want to anger a Atheist lie to him , if you want to anger a Theist tell him the truth

Interesting, when reviewing the word religion, we have to look at what religion actually is based upon what their name is and what the entomology of that word means to gain context. Religion obviously Greek word, 'relegios' meaning "return to the law" Well, whose "law"? There is only one set of precepts and commandments created before civilization started to take route and spread from there... Find buy a system of morality external to our, benefits external, that means it's a standard, because if it was internal or cultural exercise by people that just makes it an opinion, and that's all culture is and opinion by a group of people, and as we know opinions can change rendering it entirely subjective. The ten commandments were meant for everyone, The Gospel is the doorstep to live righteously after inviting the Holy Spirit into your life by accepting the death and resurrection of Christ through the propitiation paid out of that one time for all... When this transaction occurs that's called justification which is a financial term... Meaning basically the books are now rectified - or the right category. The prefix 're' "return to" obviously meaning go back to... and then we have the suffix "legios" which means to legislate or to govern. It's where we get our word "legislate" from The ten commandments are an anthropomorphic stamp by the Creator on the sentient and conscionable being he created and gave free will to use him as evidence of him having created them, of course rejected by man, by-in-large... This is why man will be doomed for rejecting him, the only purpose he was allowed to live was to serve him but to demonstrate love he gave you free choice, course is what Satan ever exist to pervert and corrupt. So, we have to deal with man's labels... If we take the apostle Paul standard for anything that denies the spirit, that is testing spirits by the spirits and denies the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the one time appreciation for all sin for all time. I'm very common faith, get excluded though they are invasive and require discernment to not get frosted up as religion knowing that it is not No, in linear time table fashion, liberal Judaism existed before catholicism, the liberal Jews are sadducees, Sadducees reject the spirit, they deny the resurrection and they say there are no angels, this is in the book of acts, they are not religion as a matter of fact they are responsible solely for the crucifixion of Jesus christ, why? Because Jesus represented a material threat to the coup that they established to displace the Pharisees and to Buddy up with Rome to keep their power. They are still doing that today. Cowering behind the hard work of the pharisees, who are not as guilty but still guilty, of placing the Bible would call the "traditions of man"for us that would be culture, ahead of being obedient to his precepts and doctrine through his word. So the Sadducees effectively, may as well just be the local ACLU branch, at your corner synagogue, there is no Jesus in them at all as a matter of fact they hate Jesus - because they reject the supernatural you are automatically disqualified as religion. Roman Catholicism came next, it was because of the heretical acts of Aries a third century church elder, was booted out of the church because he denied what is called in theology the hypostatic union, meaning that God the father in Christ are not one - was rejected. The seeds of the Roman Catholic bishopric were formed that same year in 325 AD Then you have Islam that came almost 500 years later, it was not battling the first century Christian Church he was actually battling catholicism, therefore more contemporary arguments against Christianity are polluted, because they were taking on the Catholic church in the name of, which we all know is just frosting Christianity at face value is neither, it is a relationship.

Prof Lennox equates belief in a flat earth to unbelief in God. But that answer was unsatisfactory. All the ppl I know who are "Flat Earthers" are very committed evangelical Christians...

When you listen to him carefully you realise he doesn't really answer any of the questions. He just waffles on in a way that sounds good but doesn't mean anything

Jesus is unique and everyone wants a piece. Start following Him and get yours!

The choice before sally isnt “cook for me or go home to mother”, is it? It’s more like “cook for me or I will torture you for ever”.

Lennox justifies my atheism even more

How a so called intelligent person can talk such utter rubbish is beyond me . God is so man made ,it shouts from the roof tops . Yet they dont get it .

Amen

Big John says others are brain washed, yet he is happy to brain was young minds to ancient folklore ..amen

Christiany covers the sin issue with results a changed heart and a developing real love for God.

In terms of people taking up things contrary to the evidence. That’s a predicted effect in the Veda’s of this life age of the earth - Kali Yuga. It’s the time of least spiritual potency were people attention spans are weakened and is described as a spiritual winter. The effect of this is people don’t tend to think very deeply about things. It’s why people want everything explaining to them in a 60 second tik tok video instead of research. It has other predicated effects too. The decline in morality and nutritional value in food.

After we die, an atheist will never know if he is right, but only if he is wrong. Conversely, the Christian will never know he is wrong, but only that he was right. The most rational person will take the second choice as much happier than the first.

I don’t determine truth by what it offers me at death. That puts me at the center of my own reality, choosing what reality serves me best. I’d become a Muslim if death benefits determined my truth.

Christianity is not a religion it is a relationship with God through Our Savor Lord Jesus Christ

I humbly submit these questions to Bible scholars and all spiritual people. I have heard over and over that the Nephilim were created from the daughters of men and fallen angels. Whether true or not, this is why the Creator destroyed the Nephilim in the World-Wide Flood (WWF) and imprisoned the fallen creatures in a dark place. As far as I know you can destroy physical beings but you can't destroy and kill spirits but you can imprison them. So these are my questions? 1) How can disembodied angels sleep with human daughters and create Nephilim offspring? Are the Nephilim hybrids created from a special being we don't know about, or have UFOs slept with the daughters of men ? 2) The Lord Jesus said that the end times will be like the days of Noah and Lot. Could this be one of the reasons why UFOs and Nephilim have reappeared on this earth? 3) Could AI and Transhumanism play a major role in Nephilim reincarnation to wipe out human genes? We know that God used a flood to destroy the Nephilim race. And will we see Nephilim reincarnation before the apocalypse? 4) The Bible says that after we enter the kingdom of heaven or after our physical body is separated from the spiritual body, we humans will be like God's angels. It means that we have a spiritual body, but when we live on earth in the physical world, we have a physical body. This is the main reason why human beings get married, but does it mean that when God's angels enter the physical world, they will have a physical body like ours? 5) Why did the Sodomites want to sleep with the angels who came to earth to destroy them? What did these Sodomites see in God's angels? I thought angels were spiritual beings? 6) Do God's angels appear to the righteous? Or will they reveal themselves to all mankind? Is it because the Sodomites saw God's angels in physical form?

So many are giving up in hopeless atheism for Jesus Christ .. love it!

Zachias,was tax collector that Jesus went to his home. The people scorned cs Zachias was thought of as criminal. But because Jesus accepted Zachias, Zachias repented and paid back to the people he had wronged four fold. It says Salvation came that day to his whole household . Jesus offers us Salvation

If we examine the Scriptures we see that the earth is in the grip of a raging war between God and Satan. God cannot destroy Satan summarily because His precious humans are being held hostage. So Christ has to rescue us one at a time.

Paradox. If there is no afterlife, no consciousness after you are physically dead there is no point offering anything since you have no memory of being alive. If tgere is an afterlife, no matter who offers what to a dying person, the outcome will be the same. You will experience the same exact thing as everybody else.

In the book of Job, satan tells God that if God takes a persons family and money and health then people will turn against God. Job says though he slay me yet will I trust him. True honor for Gods goodness and holiness. mj Fletcher Alpine OR

It is incredible how difficult it is for a person to admit that all religions are man-made

Hebrews chapter 8 verses 5 and 6, there be gods many, and lords many. But to us there is but one GOD,the father of whom are all THINGS!

Whoever wrote the first lines in Gensis, new or was Jesus, and under stood astro physics, to a level only theorized in science in the 20th century. Such things as Time began, the Universe began from a point.

Isn’t it Pegan God died and rose again if he was God is God died ??

If there are no sins, then there shouldn’t be jails and prisons. It’s that simple, easy, and basic.

Excellent!!!

I would like there to be a god who can give us guidance and help humanity live more harmoniously together. But it is the fact that we have learned that there is no evidence of any god. They are just projections of human imagination that stems from our ignorant past. We now know how much of the fearful things that we once thought were 'god punishments because he is angry' are nothing more than natural events. We now know how some men will do anything for power and control. Even those that claim to be 'religious'. God is sadly missing.

Evil exists, therefore, unsaved people without God-honoring purpose exist.

The Bible says that there is ninety nine sheep that has never gone astray. There is Only one that the shepherd came to redeem

Remember satin is the God of this world. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers in high places. This is a spiritual battle taking place in the heavenly.

i haven't watched the video yet. But the thumbnail 'what does atheism offer a dying person?'.........It gives the impression that having confidence in rejecting Christ may make the afterlife non-existent...The afterlife is as sure as you reading this, and it will be either with God or without God

The Lord prey need to be revived

Either praise Mr. Lennox or don't waste your time, for he has the all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of the Universe on his side, also known as the god of this world. What? You have history, and reason, and a deep understanding of Scripture (and therefore the truth behind the Mystery), and a humble heart, and good works on yours? So did Jesus. The good news is that the strong delusion was meant to lead him to maturity, and the sad... that he won't let go childish things. God as hand-holder or God-is-Love... Choose wisely!

It’s not unique it’s quite common actually, it’s a rebranded version of Roman and Hellenic Henotheism. The Capitoline Triad wrapped in a Hebrew blanket.

For whom did Christ come for, as orginally envisioned by God, starting with the call of Abraham, cutting a Covenant with him manifested as the Messiah, the only connection between God & man after the fall MY God, My God why do you forsake me " immediately after which he said " Father, unto thy hands I commend my Spirit " The second Adam echoeing the last words of the First Adam, the only one (s) who walked & talked with God in the garden as a friend, from where coined the phrase " Abraham friend of " Even as the Bible in Geneology states " --- & Adam son of God " So did God foresake his son Adam & his seed? Said God unto Abraham " I will bless them that bless you---" & "Your seed shall be like the sands & stars " Which SEED ARE THE SEED OF FAITH God is not a respector of persons neither an individual or a group God is God & not a Tribal god, Give unto God what is to God -- FAITH, without which it is not possible to please God, but surely not a Leavened/Corrupted Faith as in Protestantism's "Faith Only" The reason of the 2nd temple was for the Messiah to enter it, finding it Corrupted made & used a whip to overturn the TABLES, the tables of the leavens of the Pharisees (Jews) & Herod (Gentiles) Unto his warning " Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees & Herod" The leaven of LAW/FAITH resp, Not really Eastern Europe but Russia in particular that will lead the future, to an Authentic Catholic Prophecy " The West think they are their own creators (exposes the serpents Lie at Eden " Ye be as gods " (without God) Man as God,) Salvation shall not come from the west but from Russia,

O its all about NEED. You see what you want to see.
