Great message and reminder to "make lemonade from lemons." 😊

Hi, Randy. I thought I'd take a look at this. _"whether science and religion are inherently at odds with each other"_ That depends on what you mean. Science is evidence-based. Religion is faith-based. In science, faith is a _vice,_ not a virtue. So, you could say that they're incompatible in that respect. But, obviously, there _are_ scientists who are religious. Typically, they're evidence-based when it comes to their work, while remaining faith-based when it comes to the religion they were taught to believe as a child. Note that they completely ignore the possibility of the supernatural when they do their scientific research, just like nonbelieving scientists do. 'Miracles' have no part in science, not even for those scientists who believe in miracles! Scientists are methodological naturalists by necessity. They don't have to be _philosophical_ naturalists,... but faith is still a vice, not a virtue, in science. So you can decide for yourself whether that means they're "inherently at odds with each other." _"What if it wasn't meant to be an eyewitness account, but rather a statement of faith?"_ Sure. That's the neat thing about faith-based thinking, huh? You can believe whatever you _want_ to be true. That's why Christians can't even agree with _other Christians_ about much of anything, let alone with the other faith-based people in the world, even when you're all supposedly following the same magic book supposedly provided to you by the same supposedly all-knowing deity. Is your god imaginary, or just the world's worst communicator? Well, when you're faith-based, you can believe whatever you _want_ about that. But *evidence* is what grounds our thinking in the real world, instead of the world of our imagination. That's why science _works,_ while religion... well, just depends on whatever you want to be true. _"This implies that the study of the natural world can and should confirm God's existence, his character, and his glory."_ Then you've got a problem, since scientists - the experts when it comes to studying the natural world - are far _less_ likely to believe in a god than people who know little or nothing about science. And if the natural world demonstrates God's character, then he must be a monster. After all, if he exists, he created a worm which survives only by burrowing into the eyeballs of little children, turning them blind. And that's just one example among many (which might be why biologists are even less likely to believe in a god than other _scientists_ ). _"Is it reasonable to believe in God?"_ I'd say it's not reasonable to believe in _anything_ without good evidence it actually exists. Sure, _maybe_ magic leprechauns are real. I can't prove they _don't_ exist. But the time to believe in magic leprechauns - or gods - is _after_ there's good evidence they're real. _"This also requires a belief in the supernatural to say..."_ But I don't say _any_ of those things. I don't know of anyone who does. That's just a strawman argument, a known logical fallacy. OK, the rest of this just seems like a Gish Gallop of tired old theist arguments. Sorry, but although none of them hold up to scrutiny, as far as I can tell, it's far easier to make those claims - especially extraordinarily _vague_ claims - than to explain why they don't work. I'm fine with doing that with individual arguments, but not a whole Gish Gallop of stuff all at once. Anyway, this video isn't for atheists, anyway. It's merely a sermon designed to comfort people who already agree with you, huh? I just thought I'd check it out. No need to reply. I know you're busy.

_"You probably won't find that I give you the tools you need to fix that non-believer in your family"_ True. Now, I'm not fond of that rude "fix" comment - we're not broken - but you don't seem to have unrealistic expectations here. _"We need to speak the truth in love"_ Unfortunately, while a huge number of Christians fail that "love" part, you _all_ seem to fail the "truth" part of that. As far as I can tell, you believe what you _want_ to be true and not what you have good reason to think really _is_ true. Now, when I was a kid, I didn't know a single other person who wasn't a Christians - not as far as I knew, at least. Christianity was just the default. No one else even questioned it, as far as I could tell. But with the internet, it's harder for religious people to stay in the bubble they were raised inside. They encounter people who _do_ question it,... and they find that they have no good answers. _"driven away from their faith by the religious right"_ Yes, that's undoubtedly part of it - not for _me,_ since I was an atheist even before the Republican Party in America adopted their "Southern strategy" of deliberately wooing white racists. Long before, in fact. But I don't think it's enough on its own. After all, there _are_ liberal Christians. I suspect it mostly just starts the process of questioning. And once you start questioning - _really_ questioning - what you've been taught all your life, it's hard to stop. _"The best proof for the existence of God begins with a life that is true to our faith"_ If that's the case, then the religious right are proof that God is just imaginary. _"For Francis Collins, the famous DNA scientist, it was the loving example of his patients"_ Really? Personally, I suspect it was more likely because he was _raised_ Christian, taught to believe that stuff as a child. _"The second reason why they turn their backs is because of the hypocrisy they see in the church."_ Interesting. I've never heard that from my fellow atheists, but it might be true. It probably didn't hurt, at least. However, I have to think of the Catholic Church where even _child rape_ wasn't enough to get Christians to switch to a slightly different denomination. Do Christians actually _care_ about that stuff? (It's not just the Catholics, either. The Baptists have certainly had their share of that.) _"Brennan Manning says that the single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and then walk out the door and deny him with their lifestyle."_ Well,... there might be something to that. When I was a kid, it wouldn't have taken _much_ to get me to believe what everyone else I knew said they believed. But none of them _acted_ like they actually believed what they claimed they believed. To this day, I don't think I've ever met a Christian who _acts_ like he actually believes this stuff. At most, people seemed to believe it for an hour on Sundays, then ignored it the rest of the week. Of course, I'd need more than that _now._ But I do remember believing in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny as a kid, while I don't ever remember believing in God. Admittedly, there was *evidence* that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny existed (just not _good_ evidence, of course). _"There's a tendency in our country to make a religion out of our politics"_ Yes. And vice versa. That's very different than when I was a kid. These days, religion _is_ politics, it seems. I live in a very red state, and no one seems to give a _crap_ that I'm an atheist. But lots of people seem to freak out that I'm a Democrat. After all, they've got a new orange god now, huh? Heck, they even built a golden statue of him to worship (at the CPAC conference a year or two ago). But that's just faith-based thinking, isn't it? Faith means believing what you _want_ to be true, rather than what you have good reason to think really _is_ true. And we've seen what happens with the Christian Taliban in control of our Supreme Court. _"A fourth thing that drives people away from the church is our unwillingness to answer their tough questions."_ Oh, yeah. I find that Christians and Muslims alike seem absolutely _terrified_ of actually talking to an atheist. Admittedly, I never talked about religion to people I know personally. I didn't want to upset them, and most of them knew I was an atheist, anyway. _"Another reason for people turning away from the faith, however, has little to do with the reason and logic, and more to do with morality."_ You mean the Bible's lack of morality? Here's the thing. I'm _far_ more moral than your god. I'm _far_ more moral than your Bible - and so are you, I'm sure. Christians just pick and choose whatever they _want_ from the Bible, while ignoring or explaining away everything else. The Bible is The Big Book of Multiple Choice. Honestly, I'm disappointed with your last reason. Yes, Christians like to tell themselves that we atheists "just like to sin," but... that's pretty silly. It's just an excuse. If I _really_ wanted to sin, I'd become a Christian. Then you can sin all you like. You just have to ask your invisible friend for forgiveness afterwards. In reality, I'm an atheist because I have yet to see any good evidence that a god is real - _any_ god, let alone a particular one. And evidence is how we distinguish reality from delusion and wishful-thinking. I care about the truth of my beliefs. I _care_ about the _truth._ And I have yet to hear _anything_ distinguishable from wishful-thinking backing up religious claims. How about you? How about one piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that your god is real, rather than just imaginary? Just *one?* Why is *one* too much to ask? (But it always is.) Alternately, I'd accept *one piece of good evidence* that _any_ of the magical/supernatural stories in the Bible actually happened. Your choice. And I will _give_ you a guy named Jesus who was crucified by the Romans. The fact is, faith-based people _overwhelmingly_ tend to believe in whichever religion and whichever god or gods they were taught to believe as a child. That's just a fact. Yes, converts exist, in every direction (Muslims on UA-cam are always bragging about the Christians they've converted to Islam), but they're a tiny minority. Almost always, if you believe in a religion, it's the one you were taught to believe as a child (or, at the very least, the majority religion of your childhood culture). And that was never good enough for me. Because I care about the truth.

Thank you, Pastor. Well said!

A wonderful sermon. God bless

So how Brocken or deep was the pit whether reached down to you and you accepted his invitation and gift's. Great message and the gospel of grace. Your fully equipped to minister it❤

Amen! These times cry out to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Keep ready! JESUS CHRIST IS COMING! HE PROMISED. HE KEEPS HIS WORD. Maranatha! 1 Cor.16:22; John 14:1-3, 6; Titus 2:11-15. Wonderful praise here for God the Son. John 1:1, 3-4; 14,18*; Mt.16:13-20. THE ANGELS GIVE GLORY TO GOD IN HEAVEN! HERE WE HEAR AND SEE EARTH "ANGELS" DOING IT TOO! RIGHT HERE! JUST LIKE YOU! Subscribed. WE LOVE YOU, LORD! YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE! WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY! YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. YOU KEEP YOUR WORD IN THE BIBLE. THE GOOD NEWS "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.6 . Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. 1 John 1:8-10; 2:1-2 JESUS LIVES ! HE IS OUR HIGH PRIEST IN HEAVEN AT THE FATHER'S THRONE ABOVE AND KEEPS US IN THE FAITH BY PLEADING HIS SINLESS SHED BLOOD FOR OUR SINS 24/7 UNTIL WE ARE GLORIFIED AND SINLESS FOREVER! 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2; Hebrews 4:9-16; 5:1-10; 9:22 . THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22 Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." ( life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) * * * God knew you before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. Prayer goes out for you and those here. A Crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. ( see"JESUS SAVES") 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek". This praise resounds throughout the earth: "Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves". He testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 10:30 (*see also 31-42). 2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." JESUS SAVES God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast." Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above. WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8.

This answer is flimsy. If you're god, you know precisely who will accept the offer and who won't. (And we won't even start into the messed up system of "justice" god has supposedly implemented.) To continue it on out with some 'hope' that some will see the light discounts the all-knowing quality of your god. He knows who will or won't. But he doesn't stop making the won'ts (if it's to be believed that he somehow has a choice in whether someone is born or not like you all keep saying). To continue this charade of "justice", and then to say "Oh, it's because god wants all to come to saving truth" when it's obvious that more people die without being "saved" than don't is cruel. It's a cope that makes god just one more wisher instead of a supreme entity.

Challenge any Christian with the following proofs and I guarantee you they will never be able to answer you. Most Christians don't know about the following. Paul was 100% a false apostle. All of Asia Minor rejected Paul. They complained to James about Paul that he was trying to make them end the Laws. When Paul arrives in Jerusalem, James questions Paul in Acts 21:21 about this complaint which the people of Asia Minor made. James made Paul do a nazarite vow in Acts 21:26, which included shaving his head and animal sacrifice. So they were still sacrificing animals long after Jesus. The people of Asia Minor came back to Jerusalem and seen Paul. They dragged him out of the temple and beat him up and nearly killed him in Acts 21:27-32 for preaching against the Law of Moses. The Roman guards came and took Paul away and jailed him. Paul then writes to Timothy and says all of those in Asia Minor had rejected him in 2 Timothy 1:15. After Paul dies, Jesus sent john to Asia Minor and in the Book of Revelation, Jesus is praising the people of Asia Minor. The same Asia Minor who rejected Paul. Jesus is praising them for rejecting false apostles in Rev Revelation 2:2. The argument which no Christian can answer to is, why was Jesus praising the enemies of Paul who nearly killed him? If Paul was a true apostle, then Jesus would have rebuked them. But he was praising the very people who rejected Paul, proving Paul could never have been a true apostle. Jesus never mentioned Paul even once to them. Even Barnabas completely fell out with Paul. The church is hiding this as they know most Christians don't read Bible and are just blindfollowers.
