I was born and bred a Catholic. Went to 12 years of Catholic school. My B.A. Is from a Catholic college. As a young woman I became a nun and lived the life of a good nun for 12 years. One day I read 2 Peter 1:16 my life changed. I became born again, regenerated. I am a sinner who, by no power of my own, is saved by Grace alone. Hallelujah!
Catholic for 25 years...When I learned salvation is gift and could NEVER be earned, wow. Since Jesus came into my ❤ 🤍 💙....Thank you for sharing...Wow!
Amen, @user-cb2xp9ep61, Pastor Voddie is on the ball!!! He is a loving servant of God Almighty and doesn't bite his tongue as he preaches/teaches the word of God!!!❤
Thank you for sharing this. I think I will have to share it daily. From the 11-minute mark, YOU BETTER HAVE a PENCIL AND PAPER. YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME.
This is GOLD! It took me about 3 hours to watch a 57-minute video. Pause, rewind, take notes, go through the scriptures and their references, and like that until the video finished. In the end, I was still hungry for more. 🥹👏🏾💯🔥 May the Lord God keep blessing Voddie Baucham.
IM LITERALLY DOING THE SAME THING😂🔥 I was listening while I was driving to the doctor’s office and then I got in here with my Bible and journal and restarted the video🙌🏼💪🏼
I have been a professional programmer since about the time the microprocessor was invented. That means all that time I've been examining millions of lines of human readable code in hundreds of thousands of documents for logical errors. The Bible takes at most 80 hours to read. It contains no errors of theological import in part or whole. Don't believe? Go ahead. Bring your best modus ponens, modus tollens, disjunctive syllogism... Praise be to our most high God who rules the universe by his Word.
I bet it takes your crayon a long time to work out anything huh This is utter uneducated LIES. I bet you think Robin Hood is true because it has real people ad places in it
Struggled years with addiction, having bouts of sobriety thru 12 step programs, but the demons never completely left me, they always returned worse than before. I only believed in a " Higher Power" that Voddie touched on in his presentation. It wasn't until a friend who was a believer had me over one night and asked if I'd sit for an hour and watch a message on UA-cam with him. That message was this video. I remember Voddie reading Psalm 22 and the tears began to roll down my face, it was that night I got on my knees and asked Jesus into my life. I can report that the demons are gone and I'm finally a free man. It wasn't that I had a meth or porn problem, all along I had a Jesus problem. But because of Him I'm no longer a slave to meth and porn. God is good ALL THE TIME.
What a testimony! I'm an addict myself, so believe me, I get it about the 12 step program. Psalm 22 is an all time favorite of mine. Written 1000 years before crucifixion was invented and 1500 years before Christ. I HIGHLY suggest that you watch a sermon on "the crimson worm". Jesus is the Crimson worm. It will take whatbyou now know about psalm 22 and make it 1000x more powerful.
He definitely knows how to present a dishonest string of irrelevant half-truths that don't do anything close to what he is trying to do... but since people want to believe what he says, they just smile and nod without actually listening.
What is so nice about him, is that he gives data. 25,000 archaeological discoveries and 6,000 manuscripts of the New Testament; it can't get any better than that. In my 44 years as a Christian, I have never seen ANYONE GIVE DATA like HIM! It is well-needed.
@@18dot7Do you have a problem with comprehension? How can you have archeological discoveries for a God that is invisible to the human eye? He said archeological discoveries vindicating the Bible, which is not that hard of a find, in fact, not sure if you know about this, but there is an entire nation called Israel with actual sites and items from scripture dated from the appropriate time periods. I swear it takes a lot more faith to be an atheist these days
I stumbled across your video today. I am a struggling Christian. Fell away for awhile. I never knew the meaning behind why Jesus said "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me" I immediately started crying after you showed where it came from Psalm 22. Thank you for sharing this. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I believe it was Jesus proclaiming himself before me by putting this video in front of me today. I am a Sinner, but most of all I am a Believer that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. He is The Way, The Life, and The Truth. Thank your for sharing this video.
@@paulineplunket121 you should get a John MacArthur 2nd edition study Bible. Theres so much information in it you wont know what to do with it including a page or two dedicated to all the old testament prophecies and where they were fulfilled. My favorite is in Genesis chapter 3 which was written about 1600 years before Jesus was even born. It says that God says to the serpent that He will put enmity between the womans offspring and the serpents offspring. "He will bruise his head and he will bruise His heel." Or in other words, someone will come who will be wounded by the serpent while simultaneously dealing a fatal blow to the serpent.
I myself walked with the Lord Jesus, and fell away like a wandering sheep from the fold. Thank Jesus for Loving me, and leading me back. Unfortunately, I just loss my oldest daughter to drugs, suicide. My oldest son to drug overdose just within a few months apart. What a wake up call, that satan can snatch you in a blink of an eye. Keep your eyes on Jesus not looking to the left or right. God Bless. Stay Strong
This sermon is one of the few things keeping me sane. I have been dealing with many doubtful intrusive thoughts and this video is helping me fight those thoughts and not doubt God or the Bible. I am going to continue going through the motions and trusting God. He has a plan for me and I will be able to use this pain to help others. I belive Jesus died on the cross for my sins and I am saved. I love the evidence he gives to make us belive even more.
Make sure you are not dealing with Scrupulous OCD. If so, then seeking reassurance by watching videos like this will only make it worse in the long run.
Satan is so great at the games he plays. Please don't let him separate you from God. Trust in Him, and hold fast. Hold fast.... because until Jesus comes back again, the devil still has "his time" to deceive and lead astray as many people as he possibly can. Stay close to God and keep your eyes fixed on Him. Pray for strength, wisdom, discernment and knowledge... that in these tough days ahead, that God will give you the strength and the courage to go through each day... one by one. I'll be praying for you too! 🙏 Remember, this world is temporary... all that is in it will one day pass away and be destroyed. So keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and what is eternal... your soul, my soul and every single soul... that they might be saved and trust in the one and only Jesus Christ. 🙏❤
Same here! I have learned so much about The Bible from him. I didn’t understand much before but God gave him a gift to preach in a way we can understand.
Same here, I just found his teaching this year, I watch and listen keenly, I realized that I know less than I thought I knew and some of what I believed was wrong. I'm moving purposefully in the right direction 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Saw this at church originally, fantastic explanation. Christians remember that no argument no matter how good will ever convince people that can look in the mirror and lie to themselves. Remember that those in darkness have been there so long that the light hurts their eyes and they rather turn away. All we can do is plant a seed and pray that GOD wakes them up. Still, we need study our Bibles and be ready to give a defense for the hope that lives in us. Do not get discouraged by those who attack us, like wild animals caught in a snare they can't even begin to understand that you are trying to help them. If we love them as JESUS taught us, we will deflect their blows and just keep trying to reach them. Let us not forget...we were once just like them. GOD BLESS!
what love they teach is not love at all. We are robots after all. Some are programmed for hell. Less are programmed to repent. such is life of the lie.
Wow! This is a must warch for any christian or even any person who doubts the authority of the Bible. This is not the first time I hear all of these but the first time it is so well articulated. Thank Pr. Voddie.
The BEST answer I've heard yet! Why do I believe the Bible? "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable source of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin."
You suffer from Christian Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. How educated are you, Kevin? Please let me know. I am waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Starhawke_Gaming You simply suffer from Christian Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. How educated are you? Please let me know. I am waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You study it and you find the answers to your questions. It is the best way to get to an answer instead of asking the question, you do the research, that way you will be satisfied with the findings.
@@rudolphferdinand3634 Did it ever cross. Your mind that maybe I have read it and want to dialogue or do you think all UA-cam commentators are illiterate?
I'm listening to this repeatedly until it becomes part of me and i can defend my faith. I'm filling a notebook with thoughts and snippets of this lecture. thank you for making this plain and clear.
There is a special light on Dr Voddie and I'm glad I have had to opportunity to have found a man that speaks my intellect and love for God. Thank you Lord for directing me to him and that I can learn more of the love you have for mankind
I just came across him last year, but after listening and learning, I realized that we, all Christians can do the same thing as he. We all have the Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth who will guide us to the things of the Lord. We are given the full Spirit of God.
This is a great claim Voddie supports so well in this presentation: "The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses which report supernatural events in fulfillment of specific prophecies claiming that they are words of divine origin, rather than human in origin." derived from 2 Peter 1:16-21 by Voddie Baucham Pastor of Preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church
Through personal and corporate experiences. The Bible is the only book that has ever told of times and people in complete detail over a thousand years in advance. This has happened many times in details unimaginable.
Type Bible Criticism online and learn that the clever ancient Hebrews created Jehovah God etc in 950 BCE. Then they stole Satan from the Greek myth of Hades, Rube. How educated are you, Ane?
@@martinkent333 you keep on questioning how educated people are? Your educational level will not open your eyes from the truth we have. Whatever your educational level is, you're still a fool according to our Bible 😆
Was born again 10 years at the age of 64. Amazing grace ! I was a religious person all the years since 76. Youth director in 2 church's. Associate pastor in 2 churches.THEN GOD, led 2 born again couples into our lives. They were attending a new church, reformed theology, of which I was not familiar with. As I read books they lent me, I at first, resented what biblical truths I was reading, because I didn't realize that my wife and I were Armenians. GOD'S GRACE WAS GIVEN, WITH FAITH AND HE CAUSED ME TO BE BORN-AGAIN !! This new life is amazing. Don McClain
58 years ago we got married! My wife a Protestant me a Catholic/ we argued religion for first 8 years! Then we turned to Jesus! Now married 58 years, and our family has grown to 28 of us! All saved, going to church! Praise His name! God has blessed us!
I just wrote down so much of this and you better believe I'm emplementing it for soul winning! Great teaching! Thank Lord God Almighty for this message!

200,000 raped altar boys still cannot sleep at night. How gullible are you? They think that God Almighty is a useless turd. I wonder why? How educated are you, Audrey?
@sarah hoyt. never argue with non believers give them the gospel and move on. the Bible as Voddie has mentioned is like a Lion it doesn't need us to defend it, it defends itself, just because they dont believe doesnt mean they arent subject to Gods wrath. remember every knee shall, and every tongue will confess. doesnt matter if they believe or not. God Bless.
@@frankdeal7260 - yes, it is wrong. He is a married man preaching the truth of the Gospel. Get your mind under the control of God's Holy Spirit and do not post disrespectful comments.
I adore hearing this man teach the word of God, could you imagine him as an apostle and actually SAW Jesus Christ WHOA. Not to take away from Paul or Peter by any means, but I think you get what I'm writing here. LOL
Where have this man been all my life. He’s an excellent teacher and speaker and have extended knowledge and raises great arguments and facts. Thank you thank you thank you. Your teachings are so needed in this time as such.
Wow. Love this teaching. I needed this because I fail every time someone asks me about the authority of the Bible. I am so glad the Lord sent this teaching to me.
What a blessing to run across Pastor Baucham. What a gift for communicating truth. "You don't defend a lion, you just let him loose to defend himself." -- Voddie Baucham. Beautiful!
Right I’m so glad that the Lord has blessed us with people like him. My spirit is truly refreshed when I listen to his sermons because he only preaches the truth unlike other preachers. No sugarcoating just pure raw truth. You can tell he loves God so much and works to bring glory to him alone. May God rise more bold, outspoken people of God like him from this generation even more. I pray that the Lord covers him even more!
I actually woke up from a dream saying, "It's a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses..." 🤣😂
@@karenp144 yes he does and I have stopped looking at all that is wrong with the world and started to see all that is right and righteous for his glory and man am I finding the blessings in all this!
Yes to this! I am overwhelmed with blessings this year and in 2020! Its all about how you look at it! We need to stop counting the wrongs of the world, and start counting the blessings you will find you are blessed more than not!
This is very, very, very intense and profound. I have to listen to this again and again. As a Christian I've had a persistent question "am I sure the Bible is the Gold standard ". This is a blessing from God. This is his 3rd video that Ive listened to--all accidentally. I'm reciting over and "A reliable collection of historical docs...."
Maybe you should investigate whether or not what he is saying is true and consider if it actually makes sense before you just start memorizing phrases.
Hi, it's my first time listening to you. I enjoyed it. I'm trying to understand the Bible i first day very hard i don't have a lot of education it makes even harder, I pray God all the time that one day I come to understand, thank you, I will keep listening to you. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
God created us first in His Image and gave His living breath of His own DNA when he breathed life in to the first man Adam, and then took the woman from the man as His second Human image of Him self. We were born in light, through His Light, and given a Spirit of Light, born in His image. This means His truth is in our hearts, minds, and Spirits. So when we hear the truth of Gods word that already resides in us, our Spirit can recognize the knowledge placed in our hearts by the Lord. When we make that choice to believe in God and His fullness, and we receive His Holy Son as our Lord and savior, and the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us, our Spirit which was first created in Gods Light, in His image, becomes Alive and aware of our God. He connects with us through Spirit the Spirit of truth and love and anointment. God is a Spirit being. This is why as His children we who receive Him in His fullness, are called to “stay in the Spirit “ it’s not always an easy task, as we were born in the flesh in to sin and dead on arrival until we decide to receive God in His fullness, as Father, Creator, and His Son as Savior and Lord and His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, as 3 unique but combined Spirits of God, one who became flesh as the living Christ, and has all authority of the Father, as He dwells in the Father and the Father in Him, and the Holy Spirit also dwelling in The Father, dwelling in Jesus and dwelling in true believers. The three heads of God, all unique with their own responsibilities and characteristics of Divines, but all in co habitation, dwelling together and with the authority of the all Mighty Father, all connected in Spirit and power and truth. When our spirit is awaken by the receiving of the Lord, we also co habitat, with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who dwells in the Lord, and in our Father God, comes to dwell inside of us, awakening our spirit, connecting us to the Him self, to the Father and to the Son. He is always present and all knowing and has all authority of the Father, just as the Son. If the Holy Spirit lives in us, then when Gods truth is heard and spoken, our Spirit receives this truth as it is and was the truth that we were created in and created by, and this is the truth that is in our hearts that our Spirit, once reborn and connected to our Lord, can recognize. Amen and amen!! Thank you God for first creating us by the Spirit of truth, with your truth of your living word! Thank you for creating all things in and by Him. Our Lord our savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for first creating us in your image, by and in your forever shinning light!! Thank you that you tell us to be the light of the world!! As it is your light that shines through us!!
Last night was the first time I heard of Mr. Baucham. New favorite! This man is incredibly articulate. Hearing the Bible in such a straightforward way give me goosebumps. God is good! Hope you all have a great day.
Oh The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World, I found only a peice of that surmon years ago on FB. The serch for more of Voddie began - the whole sermon, then this, then on marriage then.... helping him in Africa. I pray he has fully recovered from his heart disease. And that he and his children live long Jesus loving (expousing) lives - amen!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I’m trying to witness to my neighbor but he is a university graduate and is extremely smart and i never know exactly how to get to him. I know some basics you said here and i tried them but because he is so knowledgeable in many different things, it intimidates me. Thank you!!
Sister, please dont be discouraged, you cannot bring that person to Christ, you have planted a seed but the Holy Spirit should water it and draw them to Jesus... Now if that person is as learned as you say, the biggest problem will be arrogance, something you cant do anything about, if they stay that way the Lord God will give them over to a reprobate mind and they unfotunately will not let the Holy Spirit in... Please dont let a person like that discourage you in your faith, that person is of the world and thinks that wisdom is greater then Gods wisdom, you know thats not true... God bless you sister...
@Debra Charles yes! but with that said sometimes our best witness is our lives. love people, answering question, and telling them that Hod does love them. for some people you are to plant seeds for someone else’s harvest.
Thank-you Lord God for giving us our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank-you and thank-you and thank-you. Also thank-you for your preachers and teachers.
You are living a lie. Your god is a delusion. And you have nothing to prove otherwise. All you have is infantile balle about magical beings. You have zero proof for your claims. You are a LIAR! And no words can prove otherwise. Why did you choose to dedicate your life to a lie?
Amazing for not only well spoken, calm clear and collected, but also with comment section open for reactions!! THAT brings forth dialogue and trust it will be respectful!! 🙏❤
My teacher! You've corrected so many lies I've believed! I tell people Mr. Voddie is my online teacher! Wisdom calls out! Keep him here Lord so he can continue to teach us who seek to please You! That way we can kick butt for the Kingdom!

This is the first time ever, that I gained hope from a calvinist, that even if I'm not convinced yet, I just have to focus on the light till the morningstar lights my heart.That is truly the hope that I need and I'm longing for
I am a non-calvinist, but I find a lot of value in Voddie's work. Specially the stuff that is current. I am glad I stumbled upon this video from 6 yrs ago, though!
Good lord. If yall are not literally thanking Jesus after this man's prefect delivery of a topic that is usually so difficult to explain to someone who doesn't believe, bc I have never been equipped until now..this.. YALL I AM FIRED UP TO SPREAD THIS message. TO INTENTIONALLY BRING UP THE SUBJECT SO WE CAN GET MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT JESUS STARTED. in hopes to help out even one single person who is lost. We'll said . BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED. Thank you
This is the glory of the living God! He has written these things in such an incredible manner! And over such a long time! If this doesn't make you praise God, I don't know what will. Maybe Christ. Praise the Lord!!
I believe because I sought after God and studied his word and the holy spirit revealed himself to me and a change came into my life that I can not deny he showed me that I needed Jesus and I excepted him he has done what my parents couldn't proved his truth to me !
Why should Jesus offer prayers to be saved from a fate that he was knowingly supposed to endure in order to redeem all humanity from the power of sin? How could Jesus have entertained the thought that God forsook him if by his allegedly pre-planned divinely ordained death humanity was supposedly given its only means of attaining salvation?
I'm not a theologian but: 1) Jesus didn't expect to be saved from it. He was, understandably, dreading the absolute torture He was about to go through. However, He was willing to go through that in order to save the world. You can see in that passage that at the end of every prayer, He submits Himself to His fate. It's important to note that, if Jesus wanted to save Himself, He could have done so at any point. Jesus' prayer models for us that it's okay to wrestle with God, so long as we accept His will in the end. Do you know another God who wants us to bring all of our messy emotions to Him? 2) In Jesus' time, the Psalms weren't numbered the way they were now. People referred to them by their first lines. Sort of like some hymn titles. For example, if I were to say, in my church, "Take my life and let it be," the others there would think of the whole song, or at least finish the lyric: "consecrated, Lord for thee." If you're not familiar with that hymn, then if I said, "Hey, Jude," you'd think of the whole song, wouldn't you? All that to say, when Jesus said the first line of Psalm 22, the Jewish people around would have thought of that Psalm. It's a song of lament, full of prophecies of Jesus on the cross, and it ends with praise: "He has done it!" These are great questions, whatever your motive for posting them.
Came across the "love and marriage" video, watched and shared with young people in my life, and I'm praying for GOD to open their hearts and minds in CHRIST JESUS!!! I've learned so much and I praise THE ALMIGHTY LORD GOD YAHWEH THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE ALONE for you Dr. Voddie and bless you brother!!!
I have listened to this preaching three times, because I have never been able to "hold on to" all the intricacies Voddie so easily espouses, and so rationally defines as "evidence, beyond doubt". I've been saved since 83, and at sixty four, continue to learn to lean into my faith, constantly. "I am a man of science", and everything I've seen, every gospel I've heard, meets the burden of "evidence". I entered into electronics at seven, chemistry shortly after, biology as well, I've studied the sciences all my life, and they do very well to explain "how God's Creation functions", within this closed sphere we call "earth". I find it truly incredible, the vast majority of physicists, will lay claim to the fact, "matter pops in and out of existence, randomly, in the middle of space, nothing", and they see no magic, no miracle, it's simply a "phenomenon they've not yet explained with facts, yet we believe it's a matter of random activity, something can pop out of nothing, because its antithesis, "equal existence" can also pop in and out of existence, thereby "balancing the equation to nothing, zero". Science is a wonder-filled art. it allows us to understand the mechanical workings of "matter, energy, light, entropy" but it is entirely man-made, or "man's observations", there is no epiphany, there is absolutely nothing present for science, that isn't present for the Bible, as so aptly demonstrated with such undeniable accuracy. I believe in science, because it explains how I see things. Ordinary, regular, earthly things, that exist before my very eyes. To this date, there isn't the least understanding of memory, person, personality, our very awareness, while many have stated over the past century to have an exact understanding, only to be discarded out of hand, for lack of evidence. I read the Bible as a young boy, because I read a book written by a British archeologist, who chose to believe the Bible, early 19th century, and went to "The Holy Land" and proved the existence of all "the fabled cities of the Bible", providing our current knowledge of Sodom, Gomorrah, Nineveh, in the end, many archeologists have followed, and the whole of our "Bible" is well documented in archeology. "I don't follow archeology, or science in any way to prove my faith, because it can't. I follow it because it is a gift, it has meaning, and explains culture, community, and is little different all around the world. I have faith because I was troubled, and finally had to cry out for help, and got it. I share the gospel that is true, in faith, and it is received in faith, or not received. I am the least of Christians, and I need the teaching, no less than everyone else. My earthly knowledge is useful in work, sharing wealth, and living in a material world. I believe in this gift, I will also have a specific understanding of my being, when I meet my Lord and God. I have only begun to truly learn to pray, there is always more work to do in our hearts, God is patient. I am greatly blessed by this ministry. I am disabled, rarely leave my home, and I depend on "The Gospel" as it is preached, for my faith, my salvation and my strength to go forward, I couldn't do it without.
Praise our disciple Voddie Baucham is a treasure to me, especially since I'm humble without privileges most have but hearing and seeing is a divine privilege Halluea and blessings to him and family and ministry. Thank to Almighty Lord Christ Jesus. Let it known 🙌.
Just heard of Voddie , and so far what I've heard from listening to his teachings & messages, so far I have found him to be biblically correct on what I've heard at this point. Prayers for Voddie , his family & the Church too prosper abundantly in the Lord!
First time visiting your channel. I first seen you visiting IAG Farm. I love watching their family and their journey. After seeing you on their video, utub lead me to your channel and I have to say, I had to take a double take when I clicked on the video. First, you were not covered in paint and your message was amazing. I give thanks to God and IAG farms for leading me to your channel. God Bless!
Wow! God knows what He's doing. Not only are we without excuse because of the law written in our hearts and the declaration of the heavens and the earth of God's glory, and the incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, in this century we are really without excuse given this type of knowledge that is available regarding God's Word. This is great information. Thanks Pastor Baucham.
Just found you Mr. Voddie. Thank you for defending our faith. All glory to God. Jesus was the lamb slain at the foundation. The atoning sacrifice for humanity’s sin. Love him, serve him, know him.
Outstanding teaching & teacher! Love Pastor Voddie's teachings. He's very clear. We need more expositors of God's word - like this. May the Lord continue to bless this ministry
ABSOLUTEY SUPERB!! Terrific! MUCH needed!! FWIW, I shared this on all my social media with the following. Perhaps this will also help others to learn what Voddie says here and share it. Publicly wanna thank my BIC, Jesse, for sharing this with me. Some may have seen/heard me talk about this before but for the sake of those who haven't I wanna share something again. Let me just first say if you don't wanna read this, fine, but at least watch the video. For those who don't know about what Voddie is talking about it is MUCH needed!! In the video Voddie will give you a one sentence phrase that will equip you to obey 1st Peter 3:15 and give you one of the best answers I've ever heard to the questions he poses. And it fits PERFECTLY will my constant mantra of "Know WHY you believe what you believe!!" I will also say that I don't think it would hurt and to the contrary would do MUCH good if one equips themselves with at least some Historical and Statistical facts to back up the statement Voddie gives just in case someone were to ask, "How do you know that's true?" But this truly is a GREAT start!! Now to why the video is such a "MUST SEE"... I'm guessing it was 8-9yrs ago I was talking with one of the elders at my church. I had just been informed he was stepping down as Elder to be the full-time Youth Leader. I was telling him how much I appreciated that and how vitally important it is to be reaching and prepping the Youth today for the challenges they're meeting. And, in doing so, I was exhorting him to take the kids to an Apologetics Forum event that weekend where they could ask any questions they wanted to. The event just happened to have Jonathan Sarfati from New Zealand which is not only one of the top Apologists in the country, an YEC, author for CMI, and holds a PhD in Chemistry but he is also a world renowned Chess-Master that would play up to 30 of them simultaneously. So then we talked a bit about some of the challenges kids are facing today. I was getting the deer-in-the-headlights look so I said, "Lemme give you an example. That Bible you have in your hand. Is it the inerrant, infallible Word of God? Can it be trusted as your Final Authority for faith and practice?" He said, "Sure". I said, "How do you know that's true?" He said, "I dunno. I just do." And then I got about 2" from his nose and said, "That's not good enough!!" I then went on to tell him stories I had read and heard that are very much akin to what Voddie says in the video. And I think this was about the time that the first "God's Not Dead" movie came out. So it wasn't like this was some new unheard of phenomenon. Sadly, he never took those kids to that Apologetics Forum event and to my knowledge any other. God only knows what's happened to those kids. So now here's my question to you: What about you? Can you trust the Bible as the inerrant, infallible Word of God? Can it be trusted as your Final Authority for faith and practice? Do you? If so, WHY??!! Watch the video. Do that, LEARN and remember what Voddie says, and you'll NEVER have to wonder again.
I was born and bred a Catholic. Went to 12 years of Catholic school. My B.A. Is from a Catholic college. As a young woman I became a nun and lived the life of a good nun for 12 years. One day I read 2 Peter 1:16 my life changed. I became born again, regenerated. I am a sinner who, by no power of my own, is saved by Grace alone. Hallelujah!
God bless you!!! 💛
AWESOME TESTIMONY !!!! Thank you for sharing. Praise the LORD.
That's was so awesome!! God bless you always
Catholic for 25 years...When I learned salvation is gift and could NEVER be earned, wow. Since Jesus came into my ❤ 🤍 💙....Thank you for sharing...Wow!
Wow! Such an AMAZING series of events! May God continue to Be with, Watch Over & Bless You as the rest of your life continues to be AMAZING!!!
I love this pastor he doesn't sugarcoat nothing comes straight with scripture bless his man God and keep him doing your work Godspeed
Amen, @user-cb2xp9ep61, Pastor Voddie is on the ball!!! He is a loving servant of God Almighty and doesn't bite his tongue as he preaches/teaches the word of God!!!❤
Thank you for sharing this. I think I will have to share it daily. From the 11-minute mark, YOU BETTER HAVE a PENCIL AND PAPER. YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME.
This is GOLD! It took me about 3 hours to watch a 57-minute video. Pause, rewind, take notes, go through the scriptures and their references, and like that until the video finished. In the end, I was still hungry for more. 🥹👏🏾💯🔥
May the Lord God keep blessing Voddie Baucham.
IM LITERALLY DOING THE SAME THING😂🔥 I was listening while I was driving to the doctor’s office and then I got in here with my Bible and journal and restarted the video🙌🏼💪🏼
Brainwashing makes the Christian cult seem legitimate.
I have been a professional programmer since about the time the microprocessor was invented. That means all that time I've been examining millions of lines of human readable code in hundreds of thousands of documents for logical errors. The Bible takes at most 80 hours to read. It contains no errors of theological import in part or whole. Don't believe? Go ahead. Bring your best modus ponens, modus tollens, disjunctive syllogism...
Praise be to our most high God who rules the universe by his Word.
I bet it takes your crayon a long time to work out anything huh
This is utter uneducated LIES.
I bet you think Robin Hood is true because it has real people ad places in it
Same😂
Struggled years with addiction, having bouts of sobriety thru 12 step programs, but the demons never completely left me, they always returned worse than before. I only believed in a " Higher Power" that Voddie touched on in his presentation. It wasn't until a friend who was a believer had me over one night and asked if I'd sit for an hour and watch a message on UA-cam with him. That message was this video. I remember Voddie reading Psalm 22 and the tears began to roll down my face, it was that night I got on my knees and asked Jesus into my life. I can report that the demons are gone and I'm finally a free man. It wasn't that I had a meth or porn problem, all along I had a Jesus problem. But because of Him I'm no longer a slave to meth and porn. God is good ALL THE TIME.
That's awesome,,,I been too,,praise Jesus name.
This is beautiful. God bless you, Del!
Amen ,
What a testimony! I'm an addict myself, so believe me, I get it about the 12 step program.
Psalm 22 is an all time favorite of mine. Written 1000 years before crucifixion was invented and 1500 years before Christ.
I HIGHLY suggest that you watch a sermon on "the crimson worm". Jesus is the Crimson worm. It will take whatbyou now know about psalm 22 and make it 1000x more powerful.
That is so cool Del !!! Absolutely same story aside from demons leaving me , but it's ok His will
This guy knows how to break it down and build your bible confidence in less than one hour! You can't help but be a fan!
wf,itvcjc,0
All he did was use the bible to “prove” the bible.
He definitely knows how to present a dishonest string of irrelevant half-truths that don't do anything close to what he is trying to do... but since people want to believe what he says, they just smile and nod without actually listening.
This guy knows how to lie through his teeth
@@gowdsake7103care to explain?
What is so nice about him, is that he gives data. 25,000 archaeological discoveries and 6,000 manuscripts of the New Testament; it can't get any better than that. In my 44 years as a Christian, I have never seen ANYONE GIVE DATA like HIM! It is well-needed.
"25,000 archaeological discoveries"
Name ONE that supports your delusional belief in a magical being.
@@18dot7Do you have a problem with comprehension? How can you have archeological discoveries for a God that is invisible to the human eye? He said archeological discoveries vindicating the Bible, which is not that hard of a find, in fact, not sure if you know about this, but there is an entire nation called Israel with actual sites and items from scripture dated from the appropriate time periods. I swear it takes a lot more faith to be an atheist these days
Listen to Josh McDowell, The Bible Fact or Fiction. It is filled with provable data.
I stumbled across your video today. I am a struggling Christian. Fell away for awhile. I never knew the meaning behind why Jesus said "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me" I immediately started crying after you showed where it came from Psalm 22. Thank you for sharing this. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I believe it was Jesus proclaiming himself before me by putting this video in front of me today. I am a Sinner, but most of all I am a Believer that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. He is The Way, The Life, and The Truth. Thank your for sharing this video.
Hi, I read your response re Voodie 's explanation of why have you forsake me. Could you please direct me to it. I'm in a similar position to yours.
@@paulineplunket121 you should get a John MacArthur 2nd edition study Bible. Theres so much information in it you wont know what to do with it including a page or two dedicated to all the old testament prophecies and where they were fulfilled. My favorite is in Genesis chapter 3 which was written about 1600 years before Jesus was even born. It says that God says to the serpent that He will put enmity between the womans offspring and the serpents offspring. "He will bruise his head and he will bruise His heel." Or in other words, someone will come who will be wounded by the serpent while simultaneously dealing a fatal blow to the serpent.
Amen bro I hope your doing better on your faith brother just know that this comment encouraged and inspired me to do better myself I love you brother
I myself walked with the Lord Jesus, and fell away like a wandering sheep from the fold. Thank Jesus for Loving me, and leading me back. Unfortunately, I just loss my oldest daughter to drugs, suicide. My oldest son to drug overdose just within a few months apart. What a wake up call, that satan can snatch you in a blink of an eye. Keep your eyes on Jesus not looking to the left or right. God Bless. Stay Strong
@@randystevens1690 😢dont know you but sorry for your loss ,
This sermon is one of the few things keeping me sane. I have been dealing with many doubtful intrusive thoughts and this video is helping me fight those thoughts and not doubt God or the Bible. I am going to continue going through the motions and trusting God. He has a plan for me and I will be able to use this pain to help others. I belive Jesus died on the cross for my sins and I am saved. I love the evidence he gives to make us belive even more.
Make sure you are not dealing with Scrupulous OCD. If so, then seeking reassurance by watching videos like this will only make it worse in the long run.
Same here, I'm glad I found this. Satan is getting desperate so he's trying all he can to make ppl doubt God
You better rebuke those demons in Jesus' name
I'm having the same problems, intrusive thoughts and doubs. It's tough for sure.
Satan is so great at the games he plays. Please don't let him separate you from God. Trust in Him, and hold fast. Hold fast.... because until Jesus comes back again, the devil still has "his time" to deceive and lead astray as many people as he possibly can. Stay close to God and keep your eyes fixed on Him. Pray for strength, wisdom, discernment and knowledge... that in these tough days ahead, that God will give you the strength and the courage to go through each day... one by one. I'll be praying for you too! 🙏 Remember, this world is temporary... all that is in it will one day pass away and be destroyed. So keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and what is eternal... your soul, my soul and every single soul... that they might be saved and trust in the one and only Jesus Christ. 🙏❤
Voddie is such a Blessing to the body of Christ.
Never heard about Voddie Baucham just recently found his videos and I think he is a great teacher.

Well, now that you've learned of him, pray for him, as his health isn't at its best right now.
An open heart surgery is tough to put up with.
Since watching the first video by Voddie Bauchum, my life has never been the same. Thank you Jesus.
Same here! I have learned so much about The Bible from him. I didn’t understand much before but God gave him a gift to preach in a way we can understand.
@@brightbkh07 i Second that statement.. im completely blown away by the logic
Same here, I just found his teaching this year, I watch and listen keenly, I realized that I know less than I thought I knew and some of what I believed was wrong.
I'm moving purposefully in the right direction 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Truth. Voddie tells it like it is.
Awww you and your imaginary playmates
Saw this at church originally, fantastic explanation. Christians remember that no argument no matter how good will ever convince people that can look in the mirror and lie to themselves. Remember that those in darkness have been there so long that the light hurts their eyes and they rather turn away. All we can do is plant a seed and pray that GOD wakes them up. Still, we need study our Bibles and be ready to give a defense for the hope that lives in us. Do not get discouraged by those who attack us, like wild animals caught in a snare they can't even begin to understand that you are trying to help them. If we love them as JESUS taught us, we will deflect their blows and just keep trying to reach them. Let us not forget...we were once just like them. GOD BLESS!
What a terrible set of metaphors.
what love they teach is not love at all. We are robots after all. Some are programmed for hell. Less are programmed to repent. such is life of the lie.
Amen
Wow! This is a must warch for any christian or even any person who doubts the authority of the Bible. This is not the first time I hear all of these but the first time it is so well articulated. Thank Pr. Voddie.
Amen! God Bless you!🙏✝️
The BEST answer I've heard yet!
Why do I believe the Bible?
"I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable source of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin."
Amen
The best answer I’ve ever heard.
@Lt Dan if you listened to the video it’s cross referenced multiple times and even links to outside stories that legitimizes it further.
@@cynthiasomogyi256 antidotal testimony doesn’t make it truth to anyone but you. No one cares what you “saw” demonstrate its real!
@Lt Dan why do you call them stories?
Thank you
I come back to this year after year to sharpen the foundation of my apologetics. thank you again, voddie 🙏
Thank the Orthodox Church for giving us the canon of scriptures
I like how you said,let the lion out,and he can defend himself

So fantastic, thankyou Voddie. This video is still a blessing 9 years later
Why would the New Testament be in Greek if Jesus spoke Aramaic and read from the Hebrew Scriptures?
You study it and you find the answers to your questions. It is the best way to get to an answer instead of asking the question, you do the research, that way you will be satisfied with the findings.
@@rudolphferdinand3634
Did it ever cross. Your mind that maybe I have read it and want to dialogue or do you think all UA-cam commentators are illiterate?
I'm listening to this repeatedly until it becomes part of me and i can defend my faith. I'm filling a notebook with thoughts and snippets of this lecture. thank you for making this plain and clear.
There is a special light on Dr Voddie and I'm glad I have had to opportunity to have found a man that speaks my intellect and love for God. Thank you Lord for directing me to him and that I can learn more of the love you have for mankind
I just came across him last year, but after listening and learning, I realized that we, all Christians can do the same thing as he. We all have the Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth who will guide us to the things of the Lord. We are given the full Spirit of God.
This is a great claim Voddie supports so well in this presentation:
"The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses which report supernatural events in fulfillment of specific prophecies claiming that they are words of divine origin, rather than human in origin."
derived from 2 Peter 1:16-21 by Voddie Baucham Pastor of Preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church
amen
+Mike Remboldt assertions are not reliable.
Where did you learn that if t was reliable, name the source material please.
Through personal and corporate experiences. The Bible is the only book that has ever told of times and people in complete detail over a thousand years in advance. This has happened many times in details unimaginable.
+Mike Remboldt name one in detail.
This is the most specific explanation i have ever heard, so good sir. Thank you 🥰🙏

Associate pastor in 2 churches.THEN GOD, led 2 born again couples into our lives. They were attending a new church, reformed theology, of which I was not familiar with. As I read books they lent me, I at first, resented what biblical truths I was reading, because I didn't realize that my wife and I were Armenians.

@sarah hoyt. never argue with non believers give them the gospel and move on. the Bible as Voddie has mentioned is like a Lion it doesn't need us to defend it, it defends itself, just because they dont believe doesnt mean they arent subject to Gods wrath. remember every knee shall, and every tongue will confess. doesnt matter if they believe or not. God Bless.

Love this great preacher! How blessed are we to have such a wonderful expositor in our midst?! Thank you brother Voddie!
amen amen AMENNNN
I adore hearing this man teach the word of God, could you imagine him as an apostle and actually SAW Jesus Christ WHOA. Not to take away from Paul or Peter by any means, but I think you get what I'm writing here. LOL
THE JEWS CREATED JEHOVAH GOD IN 050 BCE, BUT YOU NEVER TYPE BIBLE FACTS ONLINE. WHAT UP?
NO EDUCATION EH?@@salizme68
Where have this man been all my life. He’s an excellent teacher and speaker and have extended knowledge and raises great arguments and facts. Thank you thank you thank you. Your teachings are so needed in this time as such.
Wow. Love this teaching. I needed this because I fail every time someone asks me about the authority of the Bible. I am so glad the Lord sent this teaching to me.
Mr Bauchman is an angel. The way he reiterates and explains in detail is a blessing.
WOW...the Lord is with this man
where was he at? I watch the whole video and never saw him once.
What a blessing to run across Pastor Baucham. What a gift for communicating truth. "You don't defend a lion, you just let him loose to defend himself." -- Voddie Baucham. Beautiful!
Right I’m so glad that the Lord has blessed us with people like him. My spirit is truly refreshed when I listen to his sermons because he only preaches the truth unlike other preachers. No sugarcoating just pure raw truth. You can tell he loves God so much and works to bring glory to him alone. May God rise more bold, outspoken people of God like him from this generation even more. I pray that the Lord covers him even more!
I actually woke up from a dream saying, "It's a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses..." 🤣😂
😂😂😂
lol!
Oh! I just found my new teacher.. to God be the glory
Thank you Dr Voddie
God bless all of you brothers and sisters in the Lord! I love you all, always pray for your families and those who aren’t saved!

@@karenp144 yes he does and I have stopped looking at all that is wrong with the world and started to see all that is right and righteous for his glory and man am I finding the blessings in all this!
Yes to this! I am overwhelmed with blessings this year and in 2020! Its all about how you look at it! We need to stop counting the wrongs of the world, and start counting the blessings you will find you are blessed more than not!
Voddie is big time on point, apologetics is almost as big as evangelizing, giving an answer.
This is very, very, very intense and profound. I have to listen to this again and again. As a Christian I've had a persistent question "am I sure the Bible is the Gold standard ". This is a blessing from God. This is his 3rd video that Ive listened to--all accidentally. I'm reciting over and "A reliable collection of historical docs...."
Maybe you should investigate whether or not what he is saying is true and consider if it actually makes sense before you just start memorizing phrases.
Hi, it's my first time listening to you. I enjoyed it. I'm trying to understand the Bible i first day very hard i don't have a lot of education it makes even harder, I pray God all the time that one day I come to understand, thank you, I will keep listening to you.
God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Amen. How the Lord is using you Voddie. I would hate to even step on your toes. Knowing how much the Lord love you. God bless you and your family.
1 year later and I'm still sending links out! Share this during your online witness!
This man of God has literally articulated what my brain already knew the whole time even though I haven’t done research. Why is that?
That, my friend, is called the Holy Spirit.
@@ALuiza-pm2dp j
Holy Spirit
God created us first in His Image and gave His living breath of His own DNA when he breathed life in to the first man Adam, and then took the woman from the man as His second Human image of Him self. We were born in light, through His Light, and given a Spirit of Light, born in His image. This means His truth is in our hearts, minds, and Spirits. So when we hear the truth of Gods word that already resides in us, our Spirit can recognize the knowledge placed in our hearts by the Lord. When we make that choice to believe in God and His fullness, and we receive His Holy Son as our Lord and savior, and the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us, our Spirit which was first created in Gods Light, in His image, becomes Alive and aware of our God. He connects with us through Spirit the Spirit of truth and love and anointment. God is a Spirit being. This is why as His children we who receive Him in His fullness, are called to “stay in the Spirit “ it’s not always an easy task, as we were born in the flesh in to sin and dead on arrival until we decide to receive God in His fullness, as Father, Creator, and His Son as Savior and Lord and His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, as 3 unique but combined Spirits of God, one who became flesh as the living Christ, and has all authority of the Father, as He dwells in the Father and the Father in Him, and the Holy Spirit also dwelling in The Father, dwelling in Jesus and dwelling in true believers. The three heads of God, all unique with their own responsibilities and characteristics of Divines, but all in co habitation, dwelling together and with the authority of the all Mighty Father, all connected in Spirit and power and truth. When our spirit is awaken by the receiving of the Lord, we also co habitat, with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who dwells in the Lord, and in our Father God, comes to dwell inside of us, awakening our spirit, connecting us to the Him self, to the Father and to the Son. He is always present and all knowing and has all authority of the Father, just as the Son. If the Holy Spirit lives in us, then when Gods truth is heard and spoken, our Spirit receives this truth as it is and was the truth that we were created in and created by, and this is the truth that is in our hearts that our Spirit, once reborn and connected to our Lord, can recognize. Amen and amen!! Thank you God for first creating us by the Spirit of truth, with your truth of your living word! Thank you for creating all things in and by Him. Our Lord our savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for first creating us in your image, by and in your forever shinning light!! Thank you that you tell us to be the light of the world!! As it is your light that shines through us!!
Last night was the first time I heard of Mr. Baucham. New favorite! This man is incredibly articulate. Hearing the Bible in such a straightforward way give me goosebumps. God is good! Hope you all have a great day.
My class watched this, and we are doing a project on why we can trust the bible God bless you
This is such a blessing! Praise God for His glorious Word.

I discovered Voddie via his essay in The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World. Such a gifted teacher. His essay is my favorite part of that book.
Oh The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World, I found only a peice of that surmon years ago on FB. The serch for more of Voddie began - the whole sermon, then this, then on marriage then.... helping him in Africa. I pray he has fully recovered from his heart disease. And that he and his children live long Jesus loving (expousing) lives - amen!!
I’m new to Bauchman love what I’ve been listening to. Just took me awhile to get Neil Degrasse Tyson’s face out of my head with his voice haha
I thought his voice sounded like someone! 😂
Lol
The mastery that comes from walking with Jesus is astounding and this is a great illustration of it.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I’m trying to witness to my neighbor but he is a university graduate and is extremely smart and i never know exactly how to get to him. I know some basics you said here and i tried them but because he is so knowledgeable in many different things, it intimidates me. Thank you!!
Sister, please dont be discouraged, you cannot bring that person to Christ, you have planted a seed but the Holy Spirit should water it and draw them to Jesus...
Now if that person is as learned as you say, the biggest problem will be arrogance, something you cant do anything about, if they stay that way the Lord God will give them over to a reprobate mind and they unfotunately will not let the Holy Spirit in...
Please dont let a person like that discourage you in your faith, that person is of the world and thinks that wisdom is greater then Gods wisdom, you know thats not true...
God bless you sister...
@Debra Charles yes
Boldly proclaim the truth and the rest is in God's hands

This is the first time ever, that I gained hope from a calvinist, that even if I'm not convinced yet, I just have to focus on the light till the morningstar lights my heart.That is truly the hope that I need and I'm longing for
"The Bible is true because it says so in the Bible."
Very convincing argument.
I am a non-calvinist, but I find a lot of value in Voddie's work. Specially the stuff that is current. I am glad I stumbled upon this video from 6 yrs ago, though!
God led you here to bolster your faith in Him
Good lord. If yall are not literally thanking Jesus after this man's prefect delivery of a topic that is usually so difficult to explain to someone who doesn't believe, bc I have never been equipped until now..this.. YALL I AM FIRED UP TO SPREAD THIS message. TO INTENTIONALLY BRING UP THE SUBJECT SO WE CAN GET MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT JESUS STARTED. in hopes to help out even one single person who is lost. We'll said . BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED. Thank you
This is the glory of the living God! He has written these things in such an incredible manner! And over such a long time! If this doesn't make you praise God, I don't know what will. Maybe Christ. Praise the Lord!!

I believe because I sought after God and studied his word and the holy spirit revealed himself to me and a change came into my life that I can not deny he showed me that I needed Jesus and I excepted him he has done what my parents couldn't proved his truth to me !
This teaching has been something that I needed to hear.
Why should Jesus offer prayers to be saved from a fate that he was knowingly supposed to endure in order to redeem all humanity from the power of sin? How could Jesus have entertained the thought that God forsook him if by his allegedly pre-planned divinely ordained death humanity was supposedly given its only means of attaining salvation?
I'm not a theologian but:
1) Jesus didn't expect to be saved from it. He was, understandably, dreading the absolute torture He was about to go through. However, He was willing to go through that in order to save the world. You can see in that passage that at the end of every prayer, He submits Himself to His fate. It's important to note that, if Jesus wanted to save Himself, He could have done so at any point. Jesus' prayer models for us that it's okay to wrestle with God, so long as we accept His will in the end. Do you know another God who wants us to bring all of our messy emotions to Him?
2) In Jesus' time, the Psalms weren't numbered the way they were now. People referred to them by their first lines. Sort of like some hymn titles. For example, if I were to say, in my church, "Take my life and let it be," the others there would think of the whole song, or at least finish the lyric: "consecrated, Lord for thee." If you're not familiar with that hymn, then if I said, "Hey, Jude," you'd think of the whole song, wouldn't you? All that to say, when Jesus said the first line of Psalm 22, the Jewish people around would have thought of that Psalm. It's a song of lament, full of prophecies of Jesus on the cross, and it ends with praise: "He has done it!"
These are great questions, whatever your motive for posting them.
I am absolutely HONORED to be your brother in Christ!
Came across the "love and marriage" video, watched and shared with young people in my life, and I'm praying for GOD to open their hearts and minds in CHRIST JESUS!!!
I've learned so much and I praise THE ALMIGHTY LORD GOD YAHWEH THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE ALONE for you Dr. Voddie and bless you brother!!!
I have listened to this preaching three times, because I have never been able to "hold on to" all the intricacies Voddie so easily espouses, and so rationally defines as "evidence, beyond doubt". I've been saved since 83, and at sixty four, continue to learn to lean into my faith, constantly. "I am a man of science", and everything I've seen, every gospel I've heard, meets the burden of "evidence". I entered into electronics at seven, chemistry shortly after, biology as well, I've studied the sciences all my life, and they do very well to explain "how God's Creation functions", within this closed sphere we call "earth". I find it truly incredible, the vast majority of physicists, will lay claim to the fact, "matter pops in and out of existence, randomly, in the middle of space, nothing", and they see no magic, no miracle, it's simply a "phenomenon they've not yet explained with facts, yet we believe it's a matter of random activity, something can pop out of nothing, because its antithesis, "equal existence" can also pop in and out of existence, thereby "balancing the equation to nothing, zero".
Science is a wonder-filled art. it allows us to understand the mechanical workings of "matter, energy, light, entropy" but it is entirely man-made, or "man's observations", there is no epiphany, there is absolutely nothing present for science, that isn't present for the Bible, as so aptly demonstrated with such undeniable accuracy. I believe in science, because it explains how I see things. Ordinary, regular, earthly things, that exist before my very eyes. To this date, there isn't the least understanding of memory, person, personality, our very awareness, while many have stated over the past century to have an exact understanding, only to be discarded out of hand, for lack of evidence.
I read the Bible as a young boy, because I read a book written by a British archeologist, who chose to believe the Bible, early 19th century, and went to "The Holy Land" and proved the existence of all "the fabled cities of the Bible", providing our current knowledge of Sodom, Gomorrah, Nineveh, in the end, many archeologists have followed, and the whole of our "Bible" is well documented in archeology.
"I don't follow archeology, or science in any way to prove my faith, because it can't. I follow it because it is a gift, it has meaning, and explains culture, community, and is little different all around the world. I have faith because I was troubled, and finally had to cry out for help, and got it. I share the gospel that is true, in faith, and it is received in faith, or not received. I am the least of Christians, and I need the teaching, no less than everyone else. My earthly knowledge is useful in work, sharing wealth, and living in a material world. I believe in this gift, I will also have a specific understanding of my being, when I meet my Lord and God. I have only begun to truly learn to pray, there is always more work to do in our hearts, God is patient. I am greatly blessed by this ministry. I am disabled, rarely leave my home, and I depend on "The Gospel" as it is preached, for my faith, my salvation and my strength to go forward, I couldn't do it without.
❤️🙏
Praise our disciple Voddie Baucham is a treasure to me, especially since I'm humble without privileges most have but hearing and seeing is a divine privilege Halluea and blessings to him and family and ministry.
Thank to Almighty Lord Christ Jesus.
Let it known 🙌.
This was as dope as it gets I loved it truly
Voddie is becoming one of my favorite pastor. God Bless your work and ministry.
He's a great Bible Teacher
Just heard of Voddie , and so far what I've heard from listening to his teachings & messages, so far I have found him to be biblically correct on what I've heard at this point.
Prayers for Voddie , his family & the Church too prosper abundantly in the Lord!
First time visiting your channel. I first seen you visiting IAG Farm. I love watching their family and their journey. After seeing you on their video, utub lead me to your channel and I have to say, I had to take a double take when I clicked on the video. First, you were not covered in paint and your message was amazing. I give thanks to God and IAG farms for leading me to your channel. God Bless!
This is very excellent I watch it again and again and I will watch this kind forever coz I want my bible the book of my holiday. Blessings DR
Why would the New Testament be in Greek if Jesus spoke Aramaic and read from the Hebrew Scriptures?
Voddie’s preaching is my ABSOLUTE favorite in the whole world. Thanks so much!
Wow! God knows what He's doing. Not only are we without excuse because of the law written in our hearts and the declaration of the heavens and the earth of God's glory, and the incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, in this century we are really without excuse given this type of knowledge that is available regarding God's Word.
This is great information. Thanks Pastor Baucham.
Voddie preaching the Truth!!!!
I bless God for this answer.
I am Catholic. May God and other gods protect you and bless.
I thank you Lord for bringing me here. I learn so many things in that videos. May God bless you, your whole family and your ministry Pastor!
Just found you Mr. Voddie. Thank you for defending our faith. All glory to God. Jesus was the lamb slain at the foundation. The atoning sacrifice for humanity’s sin. Love him, serve him, know him.
Outstanding teaching & teacher! Love Pastor Voddie's teachings. He's very clear. We need more expositors of God's word - like this. May the Lord continue to bless this ministry
As always, Awesome. Thnx so much Mr. Baucham
He is absolutely right……..
most important question is why the Bible nothing else matters until u solve that question
ABSOLUTEY SUPERB!! Terrific! MUCH needed!! FWIW, I shared this on all my social media with the following. Perhaps this will also help others to learn what Voddie says here and share it.
Publicly wanna thank my BIC, Jesse, for sharing this with me. Some may have seen/heard me talk about this before but for the sake of those who haven't I wanna share something again. Let me just first say if you don't wanna read this, fine, but at least watch the video. For those who don't know about what Voddie is talking about it is MUCH needed!!
In the video Voddie will give you a one sentence phrase that will equip you to obey 1st Peter 3:15 and give you one of the best answers I've ever heard to the questions he poses. And it fits PERFECTLY will my constant mantra of "Know WHY you believe what you believe!!"
I will also say that I don't think it would hurt and to the contrary would do MUCH good if one equips themselves with at least some Historical and Statistical facts to back up the statement Voddie gives just in case someone were to ask, "How do you know that's true?" But this truly is a GREAT start!!
Now to why the video is such a "MUST SEE"...
I'm guessing it was 8-9yrs ago I was talking with one of the elders at my church. I had just been informed he was stepping down as Elder to be the full-time Youth Leader. I was telling him how much I appreciated that and how vitally important it is to be reaching and prepping the Youth today for the challenges they're meeting.
And, in doing so, I was exhorting him to take the kids to an Apologetics Forum event that weekend where they could ask any questions they wanted to. The event just happened to have Jonathan Sarfati from New Zealand which is not only one of the top Apologists in the country, an YEC, author for CMI, and holds a PhD in Chemistry but he is also a world renowned Chess-Master that would play up to 30 of them simultaneously.
So then we talked a bit about some of the challenges kids are facing today. I was getting the deer-in-the-headlights look so I said, "Lemme give you an example. That Bible you have in your hand. Is it the inerrant, infallible Word of God? Can it be trusted as your Final Authority for faith and practice?"
He said, "Sure". I said, "How do you know that's true?" He said, "I dunno. I just do." And then I got about 2" from his nose and said, "That's not good enough!!"
I then went on to tell him stories I had read and heard that are very much akin to what Voddie says in the video. And I think this was about the time that the first "God's Not Dead" movie came out. So it wasn't like this was some new unheard of phenomenon.
Sadly, he never took those kids to that Apologetics Forum event and to my knowledge any other. God only knows what's happened to those kids.
So now here's my question to you: What about you? Can you trust the Bible as the inerrant, infallible Word of God? Can it be trusted as your Final Authority for faith and practice? Do you? If so, WHY??!!
Watch the video. Do that, LEARN and remember what Voddie says, and you'll NEVER have to wonder again.
I thought it was rather sad and PITIFUL. Why cant voddie or you provide even the tinniest scrap of credible evidence of your god?
@@nickjones5435Proving his book as infallible IS evidence.
This is so good 🙌🏽
Louis DeCaro - Outstanding reply!!! Thanks for defending Our Lord and Savior Jesus and for defending the Gospels!! Amen!
Are you deaf???
Without the Bible and studying it and meditating on it you're going to come to life about as much as the Dead sea
THIS INFO IS GOING TO HELP ME A GREAT DEAL ,PRAISE GOD!
