Shocking Evidences convicting Mrs Thompson. Ravi account hack. Did the recently investigation made sure someone did not upload the shocking photo to his account? In an attempt to convict an innocent man who is dead? Ravi might have done wrong but this is why we need a court hearing cause the evidences below has been censored on youtube. No one is talking about the horrible things Mrs Thompson has done to Ravi. and he deserve a fair Court hearing of what actually took place. Ms. Thompson found Ravi daughter, and began asking her intrusive questions about, among other things, Ravi daughter was offended and considered Ms Thompson’s behavior and demeanor to be aggressive and disturbing. Ms. Thompson repeatedly contacted Ravi. As a result of Ms. Thompson’s repeated messages, Ravi began to consider Ms. Thompson as a friend, in addition to a fan and supporter of RZIM’s mission and his work. Ravi frequently receives death threats originating from these countries and, further, his electronic devices and online accounts have been the target of many hacking attempts. Additionally, his mobile phone has been taken and briefly held by local authorities on a few occasions when visiting Islamic countries. Over the course of the two years following their initial meeting Mrs Thompson attempted to escalate her relationship with Ravi through repeated and persistent BBM messages, e-mails, by sending gifts through the mail, and by traveling from Canada to Georgia on two occasions, but Ravi did not meet her in person. In December 2015 Ms. Thompson obtained Ravi home address under the guise of sending him a Christmas gift. On one visit to Georgia, Ms. Thompson unsuccessfully attempted to contact one of Ravi daughters. Ms. Thompson attempted to meet Ravi on other occasions as well, but Ravi rejected all of these attempts. For example, Ms. Thompson represented that she was a physiotherapist and/or an ergonomist and volunteered to meet Ravi and treat his back pain. Mrs Thompson attempted to coax Ravi into an inappropriate online relationship. Ms. Thompson, at all times without Ravi solicitation, gradually introduced inappropriate topics into conversations with Ravi and then eventually introduced sexual topics. For example, she began expressing her love for Ravi, and then began making sexually suggestive statements. At first, Ms. Thompson sent photographs of herself with her family and pet, but as time went by, she sent photographs of herself stretching and in very scanty clothing and suggestive positions under the guise that these were exercises that would help Ravi back, and then she began sending photographs with less clothing, and ultimately in the nude. Ms. Thompson took these photographs in her office, car, and home. In fact, Ravi asked Ms. Thompson to stop sending him inappropriate material. Ms. Thompson agreed to stop sending Ravi such material, but then began sending photographs again and told Ravi that she could not help herself. When Ravi blocked and/or directed Ms. Thompson’s BBM messages to his spam folder, Ms. Thompson created new BBM identification numbers and continued to send inappropriate photographs and messages. Additionally, on at least two occasions, Ravi rejected Ms. Thompson’s online request for further BBM chats. Recognizing that they would be unable to persuade Ravi to engage in any inappropriate behavior, as part of their scheme, Mrs Thompson decided to become confrontational with Ravi to attempt to extract damaging statements that could support her extortion scheme. Additionally, Ravi, who was worried about his physical well-being and his reputation being unfairly tarnished, pleaded with Ms. Thompson not to escalate the situation. Ms. Thompson’s tone had moved from affectionate adulation to contemptible accusation based upon groundless accusations.

I've most recently begun to watch/listen Dr. John Lennox and I have found by watching and listening a most eloquent yet humble man, notwithstanding his amazing insight and discernment about life, logic and his depth of comprehension of God, the Bible and human frailty. Dr Lennox has been a much needed individual for me at this time, August 2024.
Thank you gentlemen. Corruption seems to abound in our most important institutions. I would love to see a movement of people glom onto the ideals of men like you two and others that have come forth in the past four years.
You're right. Immoral people in high places go to any lengths-- and very subtle ways, too, to drag people into their agenda. They use flattery, coercion, an air of elegance attached to base, twisted impulses and thought; kindness and also force-- but it is often hidden.
Greetings...Why Are We In Existence? To Acknowledge The Truth...which is - To Praise Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Always...Amen. 1Corithians 10:31. All The Best for 2021.
Loved this conversation!!! Great questions, John and brilliant answers. Each one of us, has a responsibility to be open about the truth that only the Bible provides. No more sitting on the fence, if we truly want to help our future generation.
The overwhelming scientific evidence for evolution which includes DNA, fossil, embryology etc., totally contradicts the Bible account of human origins. It does not exclude the possibility of a god but it does exclude the god in the Bible. The Bible is based on a fictional 6,000 year-old Earth where Neanderthals never existed. In the real world, most people have some Neanderthal DNA because our human ancestors mated with Neanderthals and Africans whose ancestors have never left Africa have no Neanderthal DNA. The Neanderthal DNA is relevant now because it increases the severity of Covid-19, and the chances of getting it are much higher. Africans whose ancestors have never left Africa have no Neanderthal DNA. A main reason why Africa has been much less affected by the virus. ua-cam.com/video/A2e0gEZjgY4/v-deo.html
John this is a very powerful podcast THANK YOU for such a great interview ... God Bless you in AU , really like your stile & honesty . Regards from the UK
You know your hearing great content when you loath taking another bite of food for fear of missing out on any of the discussion. Dr. Lennox, like Stephen Meyer, William Lane Craig and Victor Davis Hanson are a treat to hear.
Thank you for this clear conversation, it was a Signpost to the Living Water.... anyone who thirsts will be satisfied. If you do not thirst, you are free to give the signpost a miss. If you thirst but you insist on digging your own well in the desert, you are a fool, destined to perish.
That would make a great SNL script for the passive aggressive sub-cult of the religious for right. Easy to visualize, so funny. You are a master of dry humor.
@davy boy - obviously you have no ears to hear. What are you doing here??? Go and play some computer games or drink and be merry. Come back when the drink does not seem to work......
Excellent! Thank you, gentlemen. People who don't want to be accountable find it easier to deny that God exists, but it's so much easier to live with hope in a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ, than to live & die without hope for eternity. And we've never needed hope more than today....science can be wonderful, but it's really mankind experimenting or finding what God has created. God is no slacker!
I don't deny that God exists, I deny that you have met your burden of proof. However, as for Yahweh, Christianity and Islam, we just know too much. These can not possibly be true. They are condemned as their holy books make falsifiable claims about the universe that have been empirically proven false.
@@zu560 I set out to prove nothing. A claim was made that people who don't want to be accountable etc. Elizabeth I, knew better than to look into men's souls. Ad hominin, strawman attack, not an argument. I don't know any serious Atheists who seek not to be accountable for their actions nor many if any who deny that God exists. The atheistic position is that you have not met the burden of proof for your claim. It is not my job to prove absence. As for any religion based on or derived from the worship of the hunter/war god Yahweh, well many books have been written on that. Just one example of a claim made and failed, Tyre stands to this day.

@@myopenmind527 There's a formal fallacy -- I think it's called the "generative fallacy", though I could be wrong -- that states that judging the accuracy of an idea based on its source, is illogical. It's related to ad hominem, or arguments from authority.

Wonderful interview and that covers a lot of ground. Awhile ago I came across a young man who was proud of his atheism, and having freed himself from religion. I asked him if he had actually done some serious research into the matter, or just accepted the dominant paradigm. I also pointed out that he had merely adopted another belief system. Many atheists are unacknowledged fundamentalists hiding behind intellectual elitism. Thanks for a very timely and much needed discussion. Perhaps Tom Holland will be the next guest?
Mary, Christ'Ma's day. 😒 brothers and sisters the Messiah wasn't born in the middle of winter sorry. Shalom, 9 months after Santa Claus day is right around 9:11 and 9 months from 9-11 is right around June but not in the middle of winter
You need to watch Dr. Taylor Marshal who proves this date by the Priest records of Zechariah, father of St. John the Baptiser, according to Luke's gospel being 3mos from his birth when Mary visited Elizabeth to sanctify him.
Hey Chad. Really distressed to see the latter part of your comment. Im going to make an assumption or two here. Forgive me if Im wrong. Im 61 but I remember having similar misgivings to yours when I was a young adult. My late dad told me a story how they shared a meal with a young couple when they were all young marrieds about 1955. This other couple had decided they were not going to have children cause the world was such a terrible place, how could you inflict that on a child. Their children, had they been born would have been boomers. This scarey stuff has been going on for yonks. Take practicle measures but please dont take it to heart. PS. Next time I'll tell you how tough we boomers really had it. All the best.
I merely made the comment because I don't think the future is going to be better and therefore I have a lot of disappointment to get through yet. Also I'm not that young at 38, though I certainly feel like a dinosaur with some of my beliefs.
@@chadjcrase Thank you for responding to my curiosity Chad. These can be scary times. Would you be surprised to learn that newspapers were printing articles about university graduates not being able to find jobs in the early seventies, when I was studying? I remember one article in particular about a PHd driving a cab for his living. I allowed that to discourage me. Don’t get me wrong though. We were blessed in many ways that children are not today. Programs like Roy Rogers were televised that told children the good news about Jesus. We prayed together in school and learned hymns like Jesus Loves Me and Away in a Manger at Christmas time. I draw comfort from the knowledge that God is sovereign. Nothing happens in this world that hasn’t been filtered through his fingers. He keeps all his promises. His plans will be fulfilled. My suggestions would be, and like it or lump it, don’t focus on fear of the future or regrets or hurts from the past. Seek healing from the past and focus on what you can do today. If you haven’t heard of him, you may find Jordan Peterson helpful. I wish you all the best. My kids are your age and younger by a couple of years.
We all suffer from the ignorance of preferring our own reality. Science can explain a few things. Spirituality explains a few things and we all struggle with the rest. I don’t find them in contradiction, many I come into contact with want to choose and want me to choose one or the other. I choose God, he made them both.
"Men became scientific because they believed Law in Nature. They believed Law in nature because they believed in the Legislator". Wow..just beautiful way to put it.
But as wrong as it gets..... you dont have to believe in the laws of nature.... if you stop believing in god he is gone, stop believing in the laws of nature, they are still there.... you cant change the true....
@@maxodgaard1335 You should clear the Biggest Question whether God exists or not for yourself and then take on the Sub-questions of religion. Otherwise, your statement is merely invalid but for the sake of your defense.
Thank you John, John.L... as Heaven & Earth their Dimension's are separated causing the corruption hence suffering as being part of Christ we can see & feel the gap being bridged ... to deny the reality of the dimensions is simplistic... it is something that interest me mathematically... Merry Christmas. kdag Plymouth UK
Amen, its emphasis is that God exists and there are aggressors toward Him and His existence and His Authority. So, when an a-Theist attacks with accusations, under guise of logical conclusion: "God must be evil" for allowing rebellion and evil that arises from evil men. Yet their negativity never seems to subside or regress. Which is telling in their belief system, a-Theism is a belief and evolution is their scientific religion. Proof by their a-Theistic symbol they have adopted. Agnostics many times seek rational discussion that would lead to at least a conclusion. As Dr Lennox stated, they do not understand the whole of the debate, as evidenced by inadequate logic as if they will not progress the conversation because they themselves will not accept a y form of validity for concrete facts. The universe exists therefore we cannot establish it created itself when science cannot even recreate or create something new within it. We are subject to the laws that science is based on. A statement is usually their proof. That is never backed only agreed to by mass groups of like minded haters of God. I do pray they realize their blind state of open rejection but I see the scales are tipped and covering their eyes.
It's quite heartwarming that, like me, even the great CS Lewis (the genius that he was) wasn't good at math. 😅 This was a very good interview with prof. Lennox. 👍
My Hanna Hat is tipped to the pair of you! German, Scots and French am I from 1700 Pennsylvania. God bless you both! Sorry I missed this when published, Good Lent to you both.
I had on my computer a future book to write with a tentative title: The theory of suffering. Glad Prof Lennox have a chapter in his book, will check it out
I cannot fathom how Lennox is afforded so much respect. He's a member of The Oxford Center for Christian Apologists that promotes the lie that man lived with dinosaurs. Per his OCCA colleague Simon Edwards: "What everyone agrees on in fact is that god created the earth...everything on it, including the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and human beings did live together at a certain time."
Psalms 34:8 [8]O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Find out for yourself that the LORD is good as many others have done!
I will sacrifice all civility to wonder at the presence of both 'truth' and 'faith' in the same question/sentence by Mr. Host. Used to watch J. Anderson in dialogue with his invitees; the stress is on the 'used'.
I had an exchange with a "student of history" recently, who was correcting my assertion that "our democracy is based on Christian philosophy" (My debating knowledge of history is limited, at best). He pointed out that democracy went way back, including ancient Greece, and elsewhere, etc, etc. I said of course, but pre-Christian, democracy only applied to the elite ruling classes, and excluded slaves or commoners. It wasn't inclusive to all. He was asserting that Christianity had nothing to do with western progress. Anyway, it occurred to me that as we are now entering a post Christian era, it would seem, that once again "democracy" (power), appears to be shifting back into the hand of the elite. My question. Is this a valid observation? Is our loss in Christianity weakening our democracy, or vice versa? Do even have democracy, or just think we do?
@Jacob Adam Grier Good point about Rome. Makes sense as it was more or less the last stop before the Christian era, so first stop on way back. I have no doubt about Democracy requiring an informed public. Without Christianity, I think we are more easily played, and I believe our media is exploiting just that by manipulating information, creating political narratives to nudge us in this way or that. It's only logical that elite players would all have their hands in this. We are concerned it seems, for only ourselves, even when we believe we are doing it for others, eg supporting entitlements. I feel this too is being exploited. We are borrowing to pay for these without any concern for the future generations who will have to pay for them, along with their own. We are literally plundering the future, in the same way pagan Vikings plundered the villages of Britain.
I wonder why were you asserting things ("our democracy is based on Christian philosophy") that you couldn't substantiate? Perhaps you needed it to be true? When do you think "non-elitist" "democracy" started? In what ways was it a departure from the society it replaced? What other non-Christian ideologies played a role in it's advent? Christianity seems to have been not only compatible with a range of non-democratic formation for the vast majority of its existence but its adoption under Constantine did not usher in any move to democracy as far as I know.
You're both right in a way, in that christianity borrows heavily from Greece. However, there is no more important phrase than 'render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's'. Not just in the abstract; they are possibly the most important words ever written.
Read the Bible yourself with a humble and prayerful heart, and you will know the truth. I am Chinese. By the grace of God, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at age 42 20 years ago. I read the Holy Bible and pray to the Lord daily. I now have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. I will glorify the Lord for the rest of my life. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Odd how I see him as the opposite - Lennox is an arrogant, self-righteous boor. But, he does a pretty good Benny Hill imitation! He needs a goofy wig, though.
You can be a person of deep personal Faith but not what anyone would call 'religious'. I have followed the Guidelines of Problacism for many years and consequently I have been given everything I could possibly ever need or want. I also don't suffer from any anxieties, fears or depression. Problacism does not require any prayer, churches, iconoclasm or worship. All it requires is that you lose all your ego and indiscriminately help everyone who is 'sent' to you without any expectation of recognition or reward. Trust in the Universe and be Relentless.

This is so very welcome and timely and helpful - thank you!
I've most recently begun to watch/listen Dr. John Lennox and I have found by watching and listening a most eloquent yet humble man, notwithstanding his amazing insight and discernment about life, logic and his depth of comprehension of God, the Bible and human frailty. Dr Lennox has been a much
needed individual for me at this time, August 2024.

This Professor is one of the brilliant I have ever heard. Long life Professor .May God bless you
Thank you gentlemen. Corruption seems to abound in our most important institutions.
I would love to see a movement of people glom onto the ideals of men like you two and others that have come forth in the past four years.
You're right. Immoral people in high places go to any lengths-- and very subtle ways, too, to drag people into their agenda. They use flattery, coercion, an air of elegance attached to base, twisted impulses and thought; kindness and also force-- but it is often hidden.

Loved this conversation!!! Great questions, John and brilliant answers. Each one of us, has a responsibility to be open about the truth that only the Bible provides. No more sitting on the fence, if we truly want to help our future generation.
The overwhelming scientific evidence for evolution which includes DNA, fossil, embryology etc., totally contradicts the Bible account of human origins. It does not exclude the possibility of a god but it does exclude the god in the Bible. The Bible is based on a fictional 6,000 year-old Earth where Neanderthals never existed. In the real world, most people have some Neanderthal DNA because our human ancestors mated with Neanderthals and Africans whose ancestors have never left Africa have no Neanderthal DNA.
The Neanderthal DNA is relevant now because it increases the severity of Covid-19, and the chances of getting it are much higher. Africans whose ancestors have never left Africa have no Neanderthal DNA. A main reason why Africa has been much less affected by the virus. ua-cam.com/video/A2e0gEZjgY4/v-deo.html
John this is a very powerful podcast THANK YOU for such a great interview ... God Bless you in AU , really like your stile & honesty . Regards from the UK
Thank you both for a great conversation I went to see and hear Dr John Lennox In Dublin Ireland a few years ago a great Conference God bless you both
What a treat! Thanks gentlemen, God bless you both🙏
You know your hearing great content when you loath taking another bite of food for fear of missing out on any of the discussion. Dr. Lennox, like Stephen Meyer, William Lane Craig and Victor Davis Hanson are a treat to hear.
H.C. Andersen was also great....
Thank you for this clear conversation, it was a Signpost to the Living Water.... anyone who thirsts will be satisfied.
If you do not thirst, you are free to give the signpost a miss. If you thirst but you insist on digging your own well in the desert, you are a fool, destined to perish.
That would make a great SNL script for the passive aggressive sub-cult of the religious for right. Easy to visualize, so funny. You are a master of dry humor.
@davy boy - obviously you have no ears to hear. What are you doing here??? Go and play some computer games or drink and be merry. Come back when the drink does not seem to work......
Excellent! Thank you, gentlemen.
People who don't want to be accountable find it easier to deny that God exists, but it's so much easier to live with hope in a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ, than to live & die without hope for eternity.
And we've never needed hope more than today....science can be wonderful, but it's really mankind experimenting or finding what God has created.
God is no slacker!
I don't deny that God exists, I deny that you have met your burden of proof. However, as for Yahweh, Christianity and Islam, we just know too much. These can not possibly be true. They are condemned as their holy books make falsifiable claims about the universe that have been empirically proven false.
@@williamvorkosigan5151 you haven't proven anything, just made a statement. You need to do better than that.
@@zu560 I set out to prove nothing. A claim was made that people who don't want to be accountable etc. Elizabeth I, knew better than to look into men's souls. Ad hominin, strawman attack, not an argument. I don't know any serious Atheists who seek not to be accountable for their actions nor many if any who deny that God exists. The atheistic position is that you have not met the burden of proof for your claim. It is not my job to prove absence. As for any religion based on or derived from the worship of the hunter/war god Yahweh, well many books have been written on that. Just one example of a claim made and failed, Tyre stands to this day.
I think science can also lead Humanity into believing they are like Gods themselves just as much as it discovering God's creation.
@@chadjcrase God's only creation is the bible and it had to be written by men because God was too busy helping people win ball games or finding their keys.
A brilliant discussion between two intellectuals. I would expect nothing less from John Anderson - he is nonpareil.
I could wish for a thousand (or a million) John Andersons, though.
@@jimluebke3869 Me, too.
Did you come to believe in god for intellectual reasons?
@@myopenmind527 There's a formal fallacy -- I think it's called the "generative fallacy", though I could be wrong -- that states that judging the accuracy of an idea based on its source, is illogical.
It's related to ad hominem, or arguments from authority.
@@myopenmind527 No; I was raised in the church - baptized and confirmed but you know what happens; I got to be a teenager and all that church stuff was so square, lol, and I was 'all grown up'. Somewhere in my 30s, the Holy Spirit cracked my heart and Jesus came in and made a home here. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
Genius! Thanks for posting, John.
Hi Mr Anderson, let us not despair.I sense your genuine and deep concern for the young person in todays World.

Wonderful interview and that covers a lot of ground. Awhile ago I came across a young man who was proud of his atheism, and having freed himself from religion. I asked him if he had actually done some serious research into the matter, or just accepted the dominant paradigm. I also pointed out that he had merely adopted another belief system. Many atheists are unacknowledged fundamentalists hiding behind intellectual elitism.
Thanks for a very timely and much needed discussion. Perhaps Tom Holland will be the next guest?
Next time he tells you, I don't have to be religious to be a good person, tell him; "of course not, you live amongst Christians".

Very intelligent conversation
Although I'm not a Christian, Professor Lennox is definitely one of my heroes. Also, I wish I were a Baby Boomer right now with what's going on.
You’ve piqued my curiosity Chad. Why do you wish you were a baby boomer right now?
Hey Chad.
Really distressed to see the latter part of your comment. Im going to make an assumption or two here. Forgive me if Im wrong.
Im 61 but I remember having similar misgivings to yours when I was a young adult. My late dad told me a story how they shared a meal with a young couple when they were all young marrieds about 1955. This other couple had decided they were not going to have children cause the world was such a terrible place, how could you inflict that on a child. Their children, had they been born would have been boomers.
This scarey stuff has been going on for yonks. Take practicle measures but please dont take it to heart.
PS. Next time I'll tell you how tough we boomers really had it.
All the best.
I merely made the comment because I don't think the future is going to be better and therefore I have a lot of disappointment to get through yet. Also I'm not that young at 38, though I certainly feel like a dinosaur with some of my beliefs.
@@chadjcrase Thank you for responding to my curiosity Chad. These can be scary times. Would you be surprised to learn that newspapers were printing articles about university graduates not being able to find jobs in the early seventies, when I was studying? I remember one article in particular about a PHd driving a cab for his living. I allowed that to discourage me. Don’t get me wrong though. We were blessed in many ways that children are not today. Programs like Roy Rogers were televised that told children the good news about Jesus. We prayed together in school and learned hymns like Jesus Loves Me and Away in a Manger at Christmas time. I draw comfort from the knowledge that God is sovereign. Nothing happens in this world that hasn’t been filtered through his fingers. He keeps all his promises. His plans will be fulfilled. My suggestions would be, and like it or lump it, don’t focus on fear of the future or regrets or hurts from the past. Seek healing from the past and focus on what you can do today. If you haven’t heard of him, you may find Jordan Peterson helpful. I wish you all the best. My kids are your age and younger by a couple of years.
Do not let your previous thinking stop you looking for Jesus. What do you mean?
We all suffer from the ignorance of preferring our own reality. Science can explain a few things. Spirituality explains a few things and we all struggle with the rest. I don’t find them in contradiction, many I come into contact with want to choose and want me to choose one or the other. I choose God, he made them both.
Beautiful
Fantastic.Thanks for the upload
Excellent conversation
"Men became scientific because they believed Law in Nature. They believed Law in nature because they believed in the Legislator". Wow..just beautiful way to put it.
"Legislator"
But as wrong as it gets..... you dont have to believe in the laws of nature.... if you stop believing in god he is gone, stop believing in the laws of nature, they are still there.... you cant change the true....
@@maxodgaard1335 You should clear the Biggest Question whether God exists or not for yourself and then take on the Sub-questions of religion. Otherwise, your statement is merely invalid but for the sake of your defense.
Superb, wish the BBC could discuss and allow people to speak without attacking.
Love you Lennox!
Thank you very much Prof Lennox
The need to allow for God to do the work by letting them discover God in Jesus.Amen
Brilliant Lennox. Cheers from NZ.
I would look forward to listening to professor^s Lennox view on the story of the Samaritan Woman and the Prodigal Son story!
So delightful!
Thank you John, John.L... as Heaven & Earth their Dimension's are separated causing the corruption hence suffering as being part of Christ we can see & feel the gap being bridged ... to deny the reality of the dimensions is simplistic... it is something that interest me mathematically...

Amen, its emphasis is that God exists and there are aggressors toward Him and His existence and His Authority.
So, when an a-Theist attacks with accusations, under guise of logical conclusion: "God must be evil" for allowing rebellion and evil that arises from evil men. Yet their negativity never seems to subside or regress. Which is telling in their belief system, a-Theism is a belief and evolution is their scientific religion. Proof by their a-Theistic symbol they have adopted.
Agnostics many times seek rational discussion that would lead to at least a conclusion. As Dr Lennox stated, they do not understand the whole of the debate, as evidenced by inadequate logic as if they will not progress the conversation because they themselves will not accept a y form of validity for concrete facts. The universe exists therefore we cannot establish it created itself when science cannot even recreate or create something new within it. We are subject to the laws that science is based on.
A statement is usually their proof. That is never backed only agreed to by mass groups of like minded haters of God. I do pray they realize their blind state of open rejection but I see the scales are tipped and covering their eyes.
The living embodiment of the Proverb “A soft answer turns away wrath.”
It's quite heartwarming that, like me, even the great CS Lewis (the genius that he was) wasn't good at math. 😅
This was a very good interview with prof. Lennox. 👍
Lovely to find this!

Just copy it
I cannot fathom how Lennox is afforded so much respect. He's a member of The Oxford Center for Christian Apologists that promotes the lie that man lived with dinosaurs. Per his OCCA colleague Simon Edwards: "What everyone agrees on in fact is that god created the earth...everything on it, including the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and human beings did live together at a certain time."
Psalms 34:8
[8]O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Find out for yourself that the LORD is good as many others have done!
UA-cam Poker? I'll see your dinosaurs and raise you, "a man raised himself from the dead." Call.
I will sacrifice all civility to wonder at the presence of both 'truth' and 'faith' in the same question/sentence by Mr. Host. Used to watch J. Anderson in dialogue with his invitees; the stress is on the 'used'.
I had an exchange with a "student of history" recently, who was correcting my assertion that "our democracy is based on Christian philosophy" (My debating knowledge of history is limited, at best). He pointed out that democracy went way back, including ancient Greece, and elsewhere, etc, etc. I said of course, but pre-Christian, democracy only applied to the elite ruling classes, and excluded slaves or commoners. It wasn't inclusive to all. He was asserting that Christianity had nothing to do with western progress. Anyway, it occurred to me that as we are now entering a post Christian era, it would seem, that once again "democracy" (power), appears to be shifting back into the hand of the elite. My question. Is this a valid observation? Is our loss in Christianity weakening our democracy, or vice versa? Do even have democracy, or just think we do?
@Jacob Adam Grier Good point about Rome. Makes sense as it was more or less the last stop before the Christian era, so first stop on way back. I have no doubt about Democracy requiring an informed public. Without Christianity, I think we are more easily played, and I believe our media is exploiting just that by manipulating information, creating political narratives to nudge us in this way or that. It's only logical that elite players would all have their hands in this.
We are concerned it seems, for only ourselves, even when we believe we are doing it for others, eg supporting entitlements. I feel this too is being exploited. We are borrowing to pay for these without any concern for the future generations who will have to pay for them, along with their own. We are literally plundering the future, in the same way pagan Vikings plundered the villages of Britain.
@@MrGulf4 End times, the bible gives us a wonderful road map of the end from the beginning.
I wonder why were you asserting things ("our democracy is based on Christian philosophy") that you couldn't substantiate? Perhaps you needed it to be true? When do you think "non-elitist" "democracy" started? In what ways was it a departure from the society it replaced? What other non-Christian ideologies played a role in it's advent?
Christianity seems to have been not only compatible with a range of non-democratic formation for the vast majority of its existence but its adoption under Constantine did not usher in any move to democracy as far as I know.
You're both right in a way, in that christianity borrows heavily from Greece. However, there is no more important phrase than 'render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's'. Not just in the abstract; they are possibly the most important words ever written.
Lennox: a man of honesty and integrity who seeks truth inherently attracts atheists
Science is just discovering what God created
God is in everything......
A brilliant man
Oh John Lennox!! Goody gumdrops!!
Read the Bible yourself with a humble and prayerful heart, and you will know the truth. I am Chinese. By the grace of God, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at age 42 20 years ago. I read the Holy Bible and pray to the Lord daily. I now have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. I will glorify the Lord for the rest of my life. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.

You can be a person of deep personal Faith but not what anyone would call 'religious'. I have followed the Guidelines of Problacism for many years and consequently I have been given everything I could possibly ever need or want. I also don't suffer from any anxieties, fears or depression. Problacism does not require any prayer, churches, iconoclasm or worship. All it requires is that you lose all your ego and indiscriminately help everyone who is 'sent' to you without any expectation of recognition or reward. Trust in the Universe and be Relentless.
