  • John Lovell interviews Dr. William Lane Craig -- one of the world's foremost Christian philosophers, apologists, and authors. As Warrior Poets are lovers and defenders of truth, it is critically important that we know what we believe really is true. If we do not do adequate work as warrior philosophers, we may not really do the work of discovering what is really worth living and dying for.

    As Christian PhD physicist, I have encountered more believers than I had anticipated. Ultimately, if a physicist is consistent with himself, he will come to a point were he must accept either unscientific theories like the multiverse concept to explain the origin of everything or that God does exist and is the Creator of all. I believe the evidence points to the later.

      physics was "invented" because a Christian thought that by divining the nature of the universe he could understand the nature of God.
      Also, everything is just a little to perfect to have just happened.

I cannot draw any other conclusion but that IF there is a higher power (god), it logically cannot be the Christian God. That said, I'm open to education that refutes that conclusion. Alvin Plantinga has refuted it with his talk of "possible worlds," but creating a new logic system to defeat the problem seems too ad hoc to me.

    There's only been once where I truly knew that if I didn't act, someone would die and I would be a destroyed human being. But I also knew that if I did act, both of us could die. My prayer was "God this is you" and I didn't hesitate. Everything returned out ok and we both went home to our families. That one moment may have been the culmination of my existence, but God is good and Jesus is my Lord. What I love most about Jesus is that he came to heal the sick, not to save the riotous.

      A very encouraging talk. One is neither irrational, nor alone in believing in God!
      You brought out his excellence and it was obvious that this was a relaxed and thus fruitful discussion.
      I do however think that the importance of books, even if on a non scholary level, for popularising the current understanding of the research field was overemphasised. I think social media in its various forms play a very large role in helping people discover new ideas only to then seek out books. On UA-cam, for instance, one can be exposed to a large variety of ideas in a short time and at no expense.

    Been thinking about this a lot lately when considering how a Christian justifies going to war against tyranny, not on the orders of others, but because it's the moral thing to do (if in fact going to war against tyranny is moral).

    • @davekendall1338
      @davekendall1338 2 роки тому +3

      @UCAvyJPYzixWcspvSUX_MaeQ I'm open to the idea of it being moral, but need some convincing from the Christian side. There are a couple of Biblical passages that come to mind that seem to suggest fighting a tyrannical government is not something Christ calls us to do. For instance, we are called to submit to the government in Romans. When Christ tells the disciples to sell their cloaks and purchase swords, it is to justify his arrest by the authorities. Even though they're armed, he rebukes Peter for using his sword.
      Additionally, Christians throughout history have suffered and died peacefully, going to their deaths willingly rather than fighting back. The faith of these martyrs in the life to come gives witness to the power of Christ.
      What I don't see much of, especially in the New Testament, is Christ calling for his followers to go to war, despite the fact that at the time of his ministry the Romans were foreign occupiers.

    Hey John,
    Having multiple angles is good.
    For future videos I suggest making the follow change:
    When going to the side shots: If looking to the "left" (relative to camera angle), put yourself in the right 1/3rd. If looking to the "right" (relative to camera angle), then put yourself on the left 1/3rd of the screen.
    This technique above is done correctly during your conversation with Craig but not done with your personal videos.
    Also, be careful with Craig, he mixes sophistry/casuistry with reality.
    We often blame Liberals for falling victim to confirmation bias when they watch msnbc/cnn to just feel good about their point of view. We should be careful not to do the same.
