Amen 🙏🩸🐑🎺💜
Yes I would!

If the ending is about David Wood himself, yeah. His testimony is no joke. There's a full video on it somewhere out there and it's all in 1 take. It's shocking
i haven't watched the video yet
Who else is glad DWood is back on UA-cam making incredible content 🙋🏻♂️?
stupid comment but had to thumb up.
@@Hbmd3E Who’s stupid now?
To answer your question . Me . I'm very happy David is back , not only making videos , but doing livestreams with all sorts of interesting ppl and all sorts of interesting topics .
@@fbomb7184 Blame all those who are listening 2024? people :) And because David has been back so long he has already large new audience from the period :)
He never left .He has been on UA-cam.He just changed the names of his 2 channels
I was 14, a declared atheist living at a camp for boys who got in trouble all the time. The man who shared Christ with me gave me a Schofield Reference Bible which I proceeded to wear out. I memorized Romans, Genesis 1 - 10, and many other large portions of Scripture while I was in prison.
I want to keep this short. I really enjoyed listening to you. I have subscribed.
Life is better with Jesus.
Life only exist because or christ with out it there be no universe. That is the shocking revelation.
@@speshwemmick6225 reality exist cause of Christ.
For some people.
Life with the world is bitter, but life is better in Christ.
@@ketesafewyalefemedia2378 that is how christ commanded us to be In the World.
As it says in Ecclesiastes, "like chasing the wind." The world is meaningless. C.S. Lewis said "If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that we were made for another world."
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3:11
I had a similar experience when I became a Christian, David. And the morning after it, I looked out the window at the bush in the valley ... and the colours were so bright and vivacious! Life is not easy but I know that there is a place coming one day that is completely amazing. A new heaven and a new earth... and perfection.
Yep. Nothing compares to the lifting of the veil when I got saved. Up until then I thought mushrooms and the ‘kundalini awakening’ I had were it. No. There is only Jesus.
If you liked what you saw...remember this a corrupted fallen world. It was and will be much better.
Virulent? 🤔
@@risingroads Yes, I caught that too. My advice to everyone: study Latin. You will commit fewer such blunders.
@@seedofwonder🙄
There is only one point in life and nothing else. "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength and you shall love your neighbour as yourself". This is the meaning of life, anything away from this is the prison of sin we find ourselves in.
and if I don't? like I can't choose to love something or not, I do or I do not. I love broccoli, not because I chose too, I simply do. I don't love god, even when my plane is shaking like crazy or I have a knife on my throat (which happened to me IRL) I didn't magically started to love god nor pray to him.
"YOU SHALL...." ok but I don't, what you gonna do, put me into a place of misery and brimstone, damn you are an ass... and that really don't help me start loving you........
@@especedelapin Your call man, I am going to eat broccoli and that's it. Good luck!
@@davidespano8674 but that is actually the opposite of my call since my point is that I don't chose to love, I just do. It is a spontaneous reaction not a willful one....
@@especedelapin There is nothing spontaneous about loving someone.
It's easy to love those who love you back but the point is: are we able to love those who do us wrong? Are we able to love the cheating wife or husband? Are you going to love your spouse when a year after you marry them they get sick with cancer and you are going to have to look after them 24/7 till death part you?
Are we able to love the colleague who is bent over to take your place at work and gossip at your back? Are we willing to love those who despise you because you look poor, sound stupid, are slow, etc.? And what about those who steal from you?
We love God by devoting to Him our obedience under all circumstances especially those that impose on us a toll. Yes, true love is sacrificial for the sake of others who may or may not deserve it, this is love to God and not the wishy-washy nonsense of Movies where everything goes hunky-dory happily ever after.
Innocent, nailed to a cross in agony He prayed for a bunch of hateful, detestable lying hypocrites that they may be forgiven.
Can we do that?
Can we truly love like that?
This is my last reply to you, I wish you the best of luck. If you let God enter your life, He will love you in a way you have never known and you have never believed could be possible such as it is impossible to a human being.
True love is never "spontaneous", true love is sacrificial.
Anyone ought to love those who love them back, but...
Are we going to love and honour our parents and brothers even when they are set against us?
Are we going to be able to love and forgive our spouses when they cheat on us?
Are we going to stand by our wife or husband when, after just a few years of marital happiness, they get sick with some serious disease and suck out all the fun from our life and leave us bound to look after them till death part us?
Are we going to love and forgive our colleagues when they are bent over taking over our job by sniding and gossiping about us?
Are we going to be able to forgive the invader who detained us, evicted and displaced us for no reason?
Are we going to forgive when the strong win in a court of law, despite being in the wrong, just because they are wealthier than us?
Are we going to forgive and love those who mock and despise us because we are ugly, poor, slow, black, etc.?
Are we going to forgive those who have made us their slaves and taken away our freedom?
Terribly flogged, nailed to a cross, in agony for no fault on His part, He prayed that we may be forgiven: us cruel, merciless, lying, thieving, self-righteous, boastful, envious, ungenuine, deceiving, full of vanity little hypocrites!
This is true love and it ain't ever easy, it has nothing to do with the wishy-washy, skin-deep love of movies and it is not natural, it is supernatural and comes from God only.
This is my last reply to you, that you might consider this matter further within yourself.
I wish you all the best
Not a minute in and already heard something that I'm gonna steal and use in the future. Thank you David 🙏😄

@Apologetics Roadshow, I went through a similar journey as you, but instead of prison it was just mental health facilities and the military. Yes I will join you in learning God's eternal meaning.
7:20 destined for extinction with the death of the solar system - that's something which has haunted me for a long while and i call "existential fear" followed by an anxiety/panic attack. Joining Team Jesus has helped that alot!
Perhaps you can help the needy or sick. This might help you focus on what matters. Thinking of others is the best cure for thinking about yourself too much. I know your fear, I have been that stoned. I have more day to day anxiety. Knowing I can't fix anything while I'm in bed helps me relax. You can't stop the universe from dying in billions of years but you can save a life with a smile, you can make someone's day with a meal or a kind word. Depression is thinking about yourself too much.
@@whycantwegetalong4465 very true, very true!
@@whycantwegetalong4465It's dying in only a few years and not lasting nearly as long as it's been here. The universe will remain but the earth will be destroyed. Knowing Jesus then he's who saves you from what everyone else will enjoy.

This is the first video I've watched in a while that I needed to stop and pay undivided attention to. A trememdous message of truth here, David. We Christians must tell others about the true meaning of life, the "Good News" of the Kingdom of God. Keep up the great work, my friend.

Religion is a lie, all of them
Same goes for all religions mate, Islam is the worst of them at this moment. However all religions are based on magical thinking, grandiosity, and delusions, including Christianity (in my humble opinion). It is no coincidence that a lot of people find their religion during difficult times (loved one dying, prison, etc ). It shows how it functions as a defence mechanism for our scared little species
Good morning everyone. God bless y'all.
@ScienceNow-
That’s exactly what a fool says.
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
Psalms 14:1 NIV
@@davidkodsy90Whilst I agree with you, Psalm 14:1 isn’t speaking about atheists
Hey David, I wanted to say that I've found you and Nabeel and your testimonies around a year ago and they really moved me.
I started going to church every Sunday. I even got an opportunity to show the believers in our church these two great testimonies which I have translated to Serbian. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them, though they were indeed creeped out a bit from your testimony.
But I have one question, is there more to a story after you became a Christian? Did you tell Randy about it? What did he say? How were you behaving in the jail for years before going out? Did you fast as Randy did? How did your beliefs about evolution, denominations, etc. formed? What was your answer to previous atheistic objections?(Other than the Resurrection being a made-up story)
I'd love to hear more from that story if it exists or if you're open to share more.
Did you ever think about writing a book? I'd love to read it.
I enjoyed Nabeel's books. Am thinking about translating Nabeel's books. They really touched my heart.
Whenever I see Nabeel and hear him talk, I see Jesus through him. I have never seen someone who looks so sincere and good as Nabeel did.
Thank you for your work and God bless. Greetings from Serbia.
I think youtube will get mad at me if I post links, but you should search around for some of David's testimony videos because a few of your questions were answered in those. You'll find that David most definitely fasted in the most extreme way imaginable 😆. Anyway, I don't speak Serbian, but that would be so cool if you could translate one of Nebeel's books!
I first got the sense that earthy concerns have little meaning when I started reading the accounts of near death experiences and people that went to Heaven. One common denominator was all their experiences, both good and bad, were nothing to these people when they went to Heaven. For myself, I use the comparison of a lost love or break up in elementary school. How we thought that was the end of the world but as David points out in his stories, I can't even remember the names of these 'lost loves'.
David you do a great job when you critique Islam but your true strength is explaining the faith. Well done!
Thank you for this David. An atheist has entered my life. I think it's an opportunity 🙏
Why not just accept people for who they are and grow from our own experiences instead of forcing something on someone who should be able to form their own opinions. One of the biggest problems people have with religion is oversaturation. We're seeing the same issues with LGBT stuff if you over do it it becomes a negative. Opposing views are what make us well rounded people and can strengthen our own beliefs without being negative
@@Brett-yq7pjIf somebody is going to do something that will get them to jail, would you let them do it? No, you wouldn't want them to go to jail (hopefully) same with what Christianity, it says that but the jail is replaced with hell.
@@Brett-yq7pjevery mainstream belief was forced down our throats by narcissistic intellectuals when the system eventually collapses and society reverts back into the natural hierarchy the only thing that will matter is race family and religion everything else is a luxury belief
@@Jakov-or7fp Cool but I'm sure you are aware there are other religions and their own versions of hell. I'm sure you are aware that other people are as confident about their own religion being true as you are about yours. So if Islam is true then what good is it converting a muslim to christianity?
And if there is a God at all why place so many people at a disadvantage because most people follow the religion of their parents? Does God want everyone to be saved, or maybe that isn't the God that exists.
@@JohnCamacho To address your first point: I can be extremely convinced that I can stop a bus with my bare hands, yet that belief will not change the reality that I cannot and there are serious consequences for acting that belief out. The authenticity and confidence of a belief does not indicate the veracity of the belief. In order to justify belief, you look for evidence that the object of your belief is reliable and the consequences of putting it into action. Everyone acts upon their beliefs: if you believed that a chair would seriously injure you, you would not sit on the chair. Those who have had the truth revealed to them have faith for many good reasons, evidence and experience.
Your first question could be posed from the perspective of any religion or point of view, which makes it irrelevant. What needs to be addressed is the "if Islam is true", the important questions should be "What is the truth?" and "What evidence is there that it is true?". Jesus Christ is the truth, the way and the life. There is endless evidence of all types such as: Seeing design in creation, the historical accuracy of the Bible, ancient prophecies fulfilled by Jesus, the effects of living it out, countless testimonies of those saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, and much more.
Your second question assumes that some are at a disadvantage, but how do you know that? You do not have the knowledge of God to make that judgement. In fact, we know that the character of God is entirely good and just; he is holy and pure. No one is going to get ripped off, we are judged fairly (which means we must be judged with circumstance in mind). In addition, there is a partial list of people in the Bible who will be in heaven even though they never heard the name Jesus while they were on earth such as Abraham. Genesis 15:6-7 "And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith". However, we also read that even Abraham would not be in heaven if not for Jesus Christ.
I highly recommend you read Genesis and the Gospel of John, followed by Romans. Seek earnestly and pray because Jesus is alive, and he loves you.
Form my 18 til my 26 became an atheist, I found an immediate problem with it and it was marriage. Because if you find a wife or husband that doesn’t believe and things with just met divorce being an option always in the back of their mind marriage will not work. I feel like only with God and marriage could work because he’s blessing it. You’re both have you’re not gonna give up and some some rules to put you back on track and restore what’s destroyed instead of like no fold divorce. Weird to say, but I think God was always with me in my atheist journey so I could approach the world as a shaman because I have Jewish heritage and Christian Catholic so God was always in the back of my mind. God loves you all. I pray for you all and have a good week.
This here is the problem with the god thing. Why do I need the intervention of some being to make a commitment and being in that commitment? It’s stupid
Ludicrous comment, religion has brought death and destruction since the dawn of mankind. If you have to endure eternal torture for a sin because, as jesus said, the lowest sin is no difference from the highest sin, then God is a physcopathic monster
A Godless marriage is like 2 planets revolving around each other spinning off into empty space. When the planets have a sun to revolve around a solar system is formed and in the case of our earth the possibility of life.
1) Sadly, religious people still get divorced very frequently. 2) Most religions accept divorce, with the exception of Catholicism. 3) I still get your point of view. As a Catholic, my marriage cannot be dissolved. In this sense, all other forms of marriage (civil, muslim, protestant) are less of a commitment than mine. They say "till death do us part" too but their marriages are often easy to dissolve. This, of course, does not mean that Catholics have perfect or the 'best' marriages, but we nevertheless have something unique (and Biblical).
nice bleach pfp
The more I listen to David the more I appreciate him. He has a lot of wisdom and knowledge to pass on. I’m glad for his UA-cam channel.
Thank you David. Once you found Jesus, Even in our darkest of days there are from now on meaning in life! Nothing is meaningless anymore
As a Christian, I've had many substantial moments/experiences that I attribute to God. When I began to study the evidence for the resurrection, I was apprehensive that it would be flimsy and I'd have some work to do figuring out how to reconcile it all. However, the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is far and above more potent and convincing (even to a Christian) than I realized. Definitely worth an honest exploration, independent of prior beliefs.
"Obey God and keep His Commandments. This is the full duty of man... For His Commandments lead to eternal life."

"Ultimately meaningless" That is my weird depression mindset everyday.....
What we see as meaningless could be that we don't understand yet. Keep moving in a direction that connects you with other people, even if it's what you just wrote.
@ImCarolB keep moving towards God
Like Navin, you will be surprised when you discover what your special purpose is for. Then your weird depression mindset will be superseded.
It's what helps me carry on. Make any meeting with people the time to worship Jesus to bring you meaning to your soul. If they're atheist then you show them something with God's help so eventually they do something about it. Plant a seed
Jesus misses you.
Very insightful when you talk about your childhood, the fort and archery competition and meaning. Thank you.
A touching and powerful message. Thank you Dr. Wood.
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. YAH Bless you! Keep up the great work.
You are a false teacher your once save always saved is heresy..it is a demonic gospel that makes people to sin thinking they are saved..
I am the first… I do not know what David will do just that it will be great!
Good for you
“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” - CS Lewis
Glad to join you, friend. ✝️🙏
Something I use to explain what eternal life could look like to non-believers, is that in essence the fantasy race 'elves' are immortal and that humans aren't. And in a lot of stories where elves are involved, humans are portrayed as greedy and power-hungry, because they don't have a lot of time. Whilst elves are more concerned for the long run and care little about gaining power.
In the same way, because we Christians believe we have received eternal life, we can look forward to things way in the future whilst others try to prove themselves and desperately find meaning in all they do.
Orcs must have really short lifespan then.
yet in a lot of Universes Elves are also arrogant, obnoxious and almost xenophobic in nature as they deem everyone else to be beneath them. At times they value their lives also as more important because they are "long lived" compared to the shorter lived ones aswel... Let's not even go into the 40K Universe for that matter.
Eternal life to me as an atheist is everything I am made of is passed on to other living things. Everything I am will become something else. Your immortality comes from your ability to procreate.
What kind of things are you looking forward too in 1 billion years, just what will your eternal consciousness do for all that time. How would you escape eternity if you don't like it?
@@AndiWard I understand your point. But procreation will end at a certain point as well, for example when your offspring won't have any children anymore. And your advice or words taught to others will be forgotten in enough time. So in that sense there is no true immortality in just this earth.
To answer what I would look forward to in a billion years, how could I possibly know that? I think the better approach is the fact that in Heaven, in which I believe, there is no suffering nor sadness nor pain nor regret. So imagine the life as it is right now, but just way better, without all the suffering. Anyone would want to live forever. And for me personally I would love to meet Jesus face to face and learn more from Him every single day and learn more about Heaven. I don't think even in eternity you could ever understand all of who God is, not even in a billion years.
Former Atheist here. Being an atheist is the most silliest belief. The universe created itself. 1st rule of thermodynamics? Energy cant be created or destroyed. Absolute knowledge can never be fully obtained, yet they know unquestionably there is no God.
How about agnostic? Like I don't know how the things around me came to be but the Bible and especially the old testament I found it to be ridiculous.
I always believed that as an atheist too but one day for no reason at all I just thought it was the stupidest explanation ever. Everything from nothing? How is that possible without a god?
@@alexiachimciuc3199 what about agnosticism? What is so precious or value in the agnosticsm? Which spirituality gives you? Nothing right? I see another confused person trapped into whit worthless thing called agnosticism that gives nothing to your life and regret for it. You are the worst generation we could have ever had, let's hope to have a better one.
@@alexiachimciuc3199theres a lot of poetry and stuff. And not all of it is taken as literal
@@alexiachimciuc3199 i graduated to agnosticism from being an atheist. Perhaps i can help you. I didnt believe in christ until he proved it to me. I'd say being agnostic is probably worse in a way cause youre in the middle of the road. You said the bible is silly? Well that could only mean that your views outside of secular science (which is also become a joke) are just as silly as eating soup with 1 chopstick
I'm still waiting for a sequel to your testimony video. What happened afterwards? Through bits and pieces it seems simple enough, but it could be fascinating.
Your recommendation to me in a youtube comment to study the evidence for the resurrection changed my life too. This topic has become my favourite Biblical apologetic.
Brilliant. D Wood, simply brilliant.
his wonderful insights and education coupled with his humor is pure perfection 😂
Just read "The Return to the God Hypothesis" and it just solidified my walk with Christ. It was not easy to read, but Meyer is a great teacher and gives applicable illustrations to show us how to know what atheists are thinking and postulating. The atheist has really painted himself/herself into a corner now and they don't like it.
This was a fantastic interview. Love Stephen Meyer's work. So glad to see it being mainstreamed.
One of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen.
All moments are timeless and significant because they matter to our Eternal God.
Order proves purpose. Purpose proves meaning.
When we are young time isn’t limited. When we are older many people realise the things that matter more. Finding a purpose can be the answer also as you have described.
Piers said on his show, he intentionally doesn’t mute people because his show is uncensored. Thank goodness for one’s remote control cause one can mute voices as required. I mute Abnormal and Cenk often.
Our mortal lifespan is always limited on this Earth because everything that exists or is alive is aging one more day each day after day until inevitable death.
David. I send this to my daughter, in hopes that she'll realize there's meaning in life...If God can transform someone like us, and He can...I pray He will do it for her. God bless you and your family, my brother in Christ.
Meaning is inevitable. I do not think meaning is best understood as dictated or prescribed, though it could be received that way I suppose.
David, for a man who once felt meaningless and pointless, you are now uniquely qualified to speak out against such a worldview! I pray your ministry here prospers and reaches all of those that other evangelists may not be prepared to meet on that experiential level. God bless you, my brother in Christ.
Love your channel, have been reading the Bible everyday for the past month and will continue till I finish it. My first ever read through of it.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life.
He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

A very deep and moving discussion, David. When I was 13, I knew I had become an atheist. After coming up with the answer to one of life's biggest questions (Does God exist?), I thought I knew it all. Boy, was I wrong! (Teenagers! I'm sure glad I outgrew being one.) When I was 15, God made Himself very real to me after I heard a sermon. It was time for me to give up, and let Jesus forgive me for all my sins, even the sin of unbelief. What a day, 44 years ago this upcoming Oct. 19. I've been a new man ever since, by the grace of God!
Yes, ill join you David.
Bedankt
I like how the existence of grief implies it is unnatural, that something's wrong or isn't how it's supposed to be. It's as if sadness and death weren't meant to be, but by sinning we screwed with nature. We did wrong when all of what God does and touches is right, thus making nature become unnatural in the worst way possible, making the nature God had made as it should be to be tainted by the consequences of sin. That's not to say God was caught off guard or was surprised by our betrayal, but that sin isn't natural as it wasn't made by God, so with something unnatural like sin mixing with the nature of God in what He made, it was as if purple was mixed with yellow.
How can sin not be created by God if he's the creator of everything that exists? Sin is a departure from perfection, which in a way is humanity itself. We try to find God to get back to the perfection that once existed.
@@TheSeth256 everything God creates is perfect because He is perfect. Like you said everything was perfect including humanity, humanity isn't imperfect by design, it's imperfect now by curse. God defined sin, but he isn't the author of sin. Sin is just defined as transgressing God's law. God created the law, or the law is eternal like God, either way, sin is only implied as a possibility because of the existence of the law. It takes a being with free will, created perfect, and yet choosing to rebel by putting themselves inordinately higher than their Creator to manifest sin by sinning. There is no sin in God. God is the only thing that existed before the universe. The universe was created without sin. Sin entered through Satan and Adam and Eve and God cursed His creation as a result.
McMuffin, that's great. I wish that you comment could be pushed to the top of the comment section.
@@TheSeth256 As @leadhesh said, everything God makes is perfect. In Genesis, for each thing He made, He found it good. Why would He call sin good? The apple granted the knowledge of Good and evil, and evil was only possible through disobeying God. Freewill isn't evil or bad or sinful, but what you choose to do with it can lead to evil and bad and sin. He loves us so much that even though He knew we would sin, He still gave us freewill to choose. How could something that can't choose to love or praise give love and praise in the first place? The creation of freewill was a gift and didn't cause sin, we did through His gift, but He still loves us and has given us a free gift to be with Him through His own Son's blood. He wants us to be with Him, but by choice. Even if that means the possibility of us choosing evil over Him.
(Sorry for the wall of text)
Yes David, and I hope one day AP and many others would understand this truth and humble their hearts to know their creator and accept Him as their LORD and Saviour.
I love when you do these!
That story at the end could make a grown man cry...I DIDN'T CRYYYYY
Christ is King 👑
Yes, He is the King of the Jews and He will return to save Israel 🇮🇱
Thanks D,wood....more of this short clips. I learn a lot from them. Remain blessed..
WONDERFUL BROTHER.... MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO USE YOU SO YOU CAN BE A BLESSING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST... THE CHURCH.
⭐⭐Life comes from God. God is infinite, as is ALL life. ⭐⭐
Wow David this vid now this touched me
I have to swallow tears of joy when I hear your story!
"Care to join me?"
I already have, my brother! God bless you.
God's existence is a certainty to all rational, reasonable, logical people.
Without a strict definition of god that doesn't contradict itself, it doesn't.
Ohh yea, there is also that pesky proof thing.
the story of your road to Damascus, and the works youve been doing since, is a powerful one, David. The impact you make for the kingdom on others (like Nabheel) is indeed lasting and meaningful. Thank you, and i wish your faith continues to grow all the more in the face of this evergrowing broken world.
You will see your son again.
The end-point of this video is most appreciable, by the way. A rather elegant presentation in general, despite what minor objections can be made to certain points in its body, in general.
Thank you for this!
Teenage and young adult me ALSO thought the same thing. As a result, I failed out of school and got addicted to opiates for over a decade. By the grace and patience of our Lord, I am no longer blinded by the lies I was held hostage to for so long. But without the understanding of the characteristics of Christ, and the utter depravity of sin to a thrice Holy God, I would absolutely still be a wholesale slave to wicked desires and lawlessness. I have always believed but ultimately there was still no sufficient meaning to find in the material or physical world until I understood what Christ ACTUALLY did on that cross at Calvary.
What about the people who don’t get addicted to things? The people who live regular lives? Why is that experience linked to you not believing? If that were the case people who believe would not have the same issue and we all know “Christian” addicts
@@xaniiu There's a difference between a superficial belief that God exists and actually being saved and changed by the Gospel of God's Living Word. If you have to put quotations around the word Christian, those people are self-proclaimed Christians, not people made new by the person, work, crucifixion, resurrection, and washing of the blood of the Messiah. Christ is the only way to Salvation. Drug use is continued tresspass against the Holiest of Holys, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
"Atheism is the veganism of worldviews." 😂 Gonna keep this one in my back pocket for future use.
Everyone who is running with this analogy doesn’t understand veganism 🤦♂️
@Pancakegr8 yeah you don't understand the analogy, he used it in reference to limitations, meaning you have a limited worldview and meaning not using it in the place of the best worldview or meaning.
Do you even understand what an analogy is?
@@wm1958 Oh okay. So we just have to find whatever worldview best equates with cannibalism so that we could experience even more freedom.
@Pancakegr8 what does cannibalism have to do with anything?
Sir do you not understand the analogy?
It has nothing to do with freedom or what diet is the best.
@@wm1958 I went back and rewatched that part, and it’s actually dumber the second time around. What other types of meaning is Wood alluding to that don’t fall into the category of subjectivity or “emotion”? I wouldn’t be surprised if that went over most people’s heads.
I watched the documentary of your journey to conversion, Dr. Wood. It was inspirational … like another Damascus Road experience. You bring philosophy to the level that every thinking person can relate. Thanks the Dizzle!
Thank you for your testimony.
My uncle is named Steve Meyer. Unrelated, but that’s kinda funny.
"Atheist have trouble offering satisfying answers for some of the big questions. Yes they do". If you don't find the answer satisfying, that's all up to you, it doesn't mean your side is the right side. Feelings don't have much to do with facts, in short. Just like Science doesn't answer to Philosophy, Atheist aren't supposed to give satisfactory answers to a believer in God as they do not believe in such being in the first place.
Thank you for sharing David. I have people in my life who need to hear this 🥹
Thanks for this.
"Atheism is the veganism of world views" 😂, that is oddly accurate.
Veganism, at least in the modern day, is actually the best dietary law humans can adopt. So I’m not sure why he said that.
@@Pancakegr8 🤣
@@Pancakegr8🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you guys laughing because you agree?… because every article I’ve read through agrees with me, which is why Wood’s analogy reeks of ignorance.
@Pancakegr8 not sure why he said that? He used it as an analogy that you most certainly didn't comprehend.
I'm 21 and I've lost faith in my atheism I need Jesus 😢
He’s waiting for you and loves you. 🩸🐑🎺💜
This is good thinking. I pray for you. You will encounter Jesus. I recommend reading the Bible.
This is His promise to you:
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you.
You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29
Atheism doesn’t require faith…
@@Pancakegr8just requires dismissiveness and delusion and projection of inadequacies onto others.
Thank you so much for your testimony and ministry David.Stephen Meyer is one of my favourite intelligent design apologists. Another great video. Only eternity will tell the extent of your impact for the kingdom of God. God bless.
Thanks for talking slowly. It helped every word you spoke sink in and resonate.
Well done, thank you
