Great effort! Your dedication shows in every video-keep up the excellent work!

You’ve got my sub! Let’s team up, support one another, and make it to the top together!
Get some sort of cover for your microphone to cut out that wind crackle.

So beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you Lord Jesus. YOU gave Mr Lennox a success both knowledge in science and in spreading the teaching of Jesus. (I have been following him in many debates with atheist and lectures to academia people). Love drom indonesia❤

You got great views all around! Mostly cloudy on my only trek up the hill so I'll have to get back sometime...thanks for pointing out the fairy cairn double post, I'm a proper eejit at times!😄
@@david_v2.1 Definitely worth another go- such an unrated place and would be suitable for your channel’s content. Lol I knew I had seen it before!
Nice view how long to top from car ?
@@sparkosone if you have a key probably 10 mins. Only transmission workers (or local motorbike trials club have the keys). For everyone else it is a car park with 30 minute uphill hike 🥾
Lovely. It’s been too long since I was in the Mournes. My French missus wasn’t too impressed by one of the names for part of the Belfast hills 😁 Ian
@@bugler75 Yep I went maybe a dozen times to the Mournes last year and sickened myself with them. Now I hear them calling me back for March onwards. Yes Napoleon’s Nose 👃 😁
Fantastic! What a spectacular panorama! Great history, too. 👍
@@tacraling a personal favourite. Can’t see Surrey though 😁
I was waving from the other side of the Irish Sea couldn’t you see me?😂
@@Ourjudd yep you can see Mull of Kintyre & Isle of Man. They blocked the view to Blackpool 😁
@@PonderingsofIrishPresbyterian You can see Anglesey, Southport and the lakes from Blackpool. If you’re up the tower on a clear day you can see Liverpool and the Isle of Man.
@ I used to go fishing there. Port Logan and drummore it’s a beautiful coast round Dumfries and Galloway but I can’t stand George Galloway 😂
@@Ourjudd nice!
@@Ourjudd here here! I’m not sure that man has ever said one word of sense.
I hope you are well wrapped up P and have the soup on for when you get home.
@@TomMcClean I’ve attempted previous videos at the summit in the past and was always too windy. This was the best of many attempts with the video quality 😀
You did well. There are spectacular views as you say!
@ Maybe it is a wee one for you in the better weather ;) Make sure you are taking care of yourself Tom!
I have been for a vist decades ago but I'd love to return to get those views! Excellent footage P i'd really struggle to get up there now though.
Stunning!
@@chrisholmes1736 Gem of a place. Completely under-rated.
Also, is that where they put the boom that was broken by the mount joy?
@@Ourjudd not sure 🤔
Brilliant video sir. Do you know about the German u-boats off the northern Irish coast? (From Revoelad I changed my channel name)
@@Ourjudd Oh Yes I recognise the channel 😊 The U-Boats are legendary (militarily) and I am aware many surrendered in Lough Foyle but are there some sunk near NI?

Wonderful Short message on Christmas Sir John. Sir you have made us proud as Christian believers to listening to your debate against those who challenge our Faith in Jesus Christ. Definitely, you have inspired many young professionals, Technocrats and many others scientists of this day and age. We pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will anointing you with supernatural and Devine wisdom through His Holy Spirit, so that you can still have a long lifespan and continued to become more defensive against those who hate Christianity.

Amazing how these old houses survive. As you say, to last 200 winters is really something.
@@GavinMIillar Yes there are plenty still standing and I intend to better explore others and upload them 👍

So amazing I didn't realise John is Kristyn's uncle! That's really cheered me up! God is so good to bless us with these creative people who give Him all the glory.

That is how most of the churchs have treated God over the past 12 months. Allowed lgbtq & abortion with no qualms or protest, disgraceful churchs, their leaders will be held accountable.Most of them could even be involved in child trafficking, turned a blind eye like the recent archbishop that had to reluctantly resign.
A wonderful explanation and invitation ❤

So great to see a gathering like this receive the gospel. Not sure how the star could have been a commet if the followed it for a month. The star of Bethlehem documentary seems more likely with the star within Virgo reaching retrograde motion so it appeared to stop. Have to hear the explanation he mentioned though because he’s smarter than me.
@@brendanedwards8192 Yes Brendan. I also tend to think deeply about how this Miracle or that thing happened but when I reach the end of my finite logic I trust in The Creator Himself.

I saw this on x. Looks amazing, I went to my parish church on Christmas Eve.
@@Ourjudd Good lad. My Church’s Carol Service is the Sunday before and then we meet on Christmas Morning also.
@ yeah it’s the same with mine but I was in my mum’s village Christmas Day so I went there. For some reason I prefer old churches to worship in, I don’t know why and it shouldn’t matter but I do.
@ So do I. It really doesn’t matter as it is purely a building (The Church is The People) but in saying that I worship in a Meeting House that generations of people have gathered for centuries before me (including many of my ancestors). To lift up my voice in praise to my Maker, Saviour & Lord in that Meeting Place is very special.
@ Amen. Every blessing on your journey!
Wow just look at all the paganism in this video. For a start, all those christmas trees are an abomination to the Father. Jer 10:1 Hear the word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ěl. Jer 10:2 Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are awed by them. Jer 10:3 “For the laws of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. Jer 10:4 “They beautify it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple. Does that not sound like christmas tree? Jesus is also not the name of the Hebrew Messiah. The Hebrew Messiah was NEVER born on Dec 25th. Yet you will sing in church. "for to you tis day was born a Saviour". That is a lie you know? Then the christian goes home and celebrate the birth of the pagan deity Tammuz.
Ask this lord Jesus to come into your heart asap. He loved you enough to die for you and Grant eternal life. Dont just know about Him , know Him . He will save you today. Best gospel message ever. Thankyou Dr Lennox.
