And watch people melt down into their insanity.
If being "humble" is a person, I am sure it has to be John Lennox, I mean, look at the vast knowledge he has under his belt yet calm and gentle as feathers. It's truly a gem.
Wise as a serpent but as harmless and peaceful as a dove. There are very few people on earth we can be certain God is with, and John Lennox is one of them.
John's arguments didn't require knowledge? Because he doesn't need proof when God is the truth, the truth is the word, the word is the Bible, the Bible is written by men, all men are born sinners, and sinners can lie, and lies are not true... Am I missing something here?
@@whittfamily1 sir… You seem to be clearly trolling, John Lennox, buy some of your statements. So why don't you gather up your intellect in your arrogance and debate him? Or debate me publicly or any of my Christian apologist friends. Clearly are you want to do is bash those who believe in the god you claim to not believe in. It's a shameful act. Your hatred of showing and it's clear.
Thank you Amy Orr-Ewing for allowing Lennox to talk and not spending so much of the interviewing time inserting your own comments and answers! Excellent interviewer. And thank you for the gift of John Lennox.

John Lennox is a great evangelist. Talking of the 'new atheists', I'd like them to know, they were a large part of why I came back to my faith.

Excellent Interview by a true Professional with, no interruptions only, sincere listening which is so rare, it's remarkable. John Lennox has become my Greatest Philosopher of Christianity. His knowledge of Scripture, in Depth Practical Analysis and Strength of Character is down to earth Believable and Understandable.

John is a fantastic speaker. I love his talks and his books. Really puts it all together well. He is sharp. He knows so much historical thought and the thought of the day.

@@reverendbarker650You wouldn't believe in God even if He personally pulled you out of your BS, so SU and go to Dawkins "everything out of nothing" metal degradation, where you fit perfectly..
It made me cry. Listening to John Lennox being an academic and a Christian. What touched me most is about his view about suffering and guilt and very often the pointed finger of members of the congregation at the suffering person, saying that there must be a moral reason for it. Me going through a lot of turmoil during my life losing my younger brother at the age of 20, while I was facing divorce with 2 little daughters and losing my second husband 4 Years ago to cancer after 2 terrible work accidents, left me with a lot of questions to GOD. But I also ended with the Cross. It doesn't say that all my questions are answered. But after all I always felt a strong protection over my life. Professor John Lennox encourages people to remember that God gave them a brain and mind to use it and not follow blind a crowd and to listen carefully what they say. There are a lot of "Teachers" and leaders out there. The Bible askes us to proof if it is true, even what is tought in the Bible. And during my life after making mistakes leaving me humble and recognise that GOD's laws are the frame for life, a moral compass and guidance. Human beings creating "Human" can only go wrong and to search for 'eternal life' can only go terribly wrong. There is a part in the Bible where is said that people will seek death and they will not find it. I am very grateful for the chance to listen to this interview! And I hope that Professor John Lennox will have many more chances to speak about his faith. If he would come to Germany again it would be great to get the chance to listen again.
Amazing to have met John Lennox in Oxford and being one of his students and having experienced the fear of saying dumb stuff when he asks you a question during the lecture. And after that being grilled for my stupid answer. How can a man with such a sweet face be such a strict tutor?!
Wow ! I thought Amy had departed for Mars and here, suddenly, she reappears after a few years. Good to see you again Amy. I think things fell apart for OCCA for a while, which is maybe why not even algorithms help'd. Always, always good to listen to dear John Lennox. Blessed 80th birthday John ... tho this maybe late arriving. 🙏🏼
Dr. John Lennox is profoundly truthful. That alone drives his profound faith. Can't get enough of his explanations. Brilliantly obvious - once he identifies these truths in plain language.
He didn't sacrifice his son. His son (considered himself by some) was/is immortal. At best, he allowed his son/self to endure a bad few days nailed to a tree, so that he could be a sacrifice, (possibly to himself) to pay for the sin that god created in order to fulfill a need to sacrifice his son/self at whatever passes for a future event in God's timeless realm. It's so daft! It's genuinely mind boggling? 🫣
@@WayWalker3 Its estimated that there would have been some two million people on earth at the time of the supposed flood, making it one of the biggest genocides ever, up until H.i.t.l.e.r. Were there even koalas on the arc?
I wish that I could set under his teaching daily and be filled with his knowledge and share in the love for Christ! Thank you John & thank you too for giving such credit to your wife, Sally, for I am sure she was a great contributor to who you are and where you are in life. What a blessing!😊
I love that someone who's been gifted with such knowledge and wisdom by God, is also compassionate with everyone that he talks to that doesn't believe in God as we do.
@@josemoody1743 Any knowledge, including Scientific knowledge, is only as good as its demonstrable observations show. John defends Christianity through his knowledge of the Bible? I'm saying that knowledge gained from the bible is questionable.
@@josemoody1743 It should be an issue everywhere. Not just in the US or the UK. You could take a copy of the bible to the planet Mars, and still, any knowledge gleaned from its pages would be questionable if such knowledge is taken as fact or even as metaphor to somehow validate its truth.
John Lennox is living proof that the heart of Christianity, in keeping with the Love of Christ, is a humble one: that through Humility is strength found as are only the gentle ever strong. What a gift he is, and what a gift he gives! God bless you, Dr Lennox!
This was an amazing interview, thank you so much for sharing it. Amy was a great listener and the perfect person to interview John Lennox. John is a legend. He has the wisdom of a sage and an underrated sense of humour to boot. I could listen to this for hours.
awesome interview I love John Lennox he is definitely a worker of God. He speaks so simply about things that are so deep I just love to listen to him. May God bless and protect him and his family ❤️🙏✝️🙏🛐🙏❤️
Amy, I was worried about you after the scandal. As all of the videos in which I watched you were scrubbed immediately, I couldn’t find you and didn’t know your name. I found one of your books (the lecture you gave which I watched a dozen times was the authenticity of the Bible) a few months ago and now here you are! I’m so glad you are here with Dr. Lennox!
John Lennox has brought a new level in intellect to the debate of the existence of God. He continues to demolish the bankrupt arguments of the those who so obviously hate God. I pray that eyes are opened to see the risen Christ with the eyes of of a rational, reasonable, provable faith.
GOD BLESS JOHN LENNOX - REMEMBER- Nothing is nothing, never get something from nothing, Life comes from life, never get life from non-life without intelligence or a mind. All must turn to the infinite almighty GOD
@@Yossarian. Yes everything is possible and its a matter of faith but read the book "The God Theory" by Bernard Haisch astrophysicist. There are many others books by other scientists on God- the fact that you hv a rational mind and can link up with the mathematical laws of the universe is a big hint
It is very important to understand what christianism is, what it states and why it takes you to the truth. Apart from that, we must be humble enough to be open to explore all ways that explain reality, both material and spiritual, by applying the principles of logic such as identity principle, non contradiction, etc.
So much to say. First, God bless you for this content and God bless you both. Dr Lennox is an absolute treasure. One of the clips played during this video really set me off and it was Peter Atkins having a fit over the universe coming out of nothing. I can’t recall but has anyone pointed him to Dr Lawrence Krauss, the boisterous loudmouth new atheist in AZ USA (boy aren’t I a proud fellow American) who proudly proclaims this very thing in his somewhat fairly recent book “A Universe From Nothing”. Wow that is just precious
Yes he has had a radio broadcast with him in which he addresses many things. He also points out the issue of Dr Krauss trying to get something from nothing when nothing is redefined as something. Dr. Dawkins even tries some of Dr. Krauss' thoughts on Dr. Lennox and fails miserably.
@@vladtheemailer3223 well i am sure he will be glad to here that. I find that tools are extremely useful myself. So what is your favorite part of Dr Lennox's arguments that is useful? I can tell you mine is that he uses logic instead of ad hominem to present the truth with facts and evidence.
@kennethgee2004 Excellent, what logic based argument of his is your favorite? Can you share it with me? What demonstratable facts and truths of his are the best?
@@vladtheemailer3223 Well I would have to view the entire interview again, but I liked in one such video he used the fact that Christianity is falsifiable and as such testable. He pointed out 4 things in which if any one were proven false would raise serious doubts about Christianity. The 4 are: Jesus was not born of a virgin, Jesus lead a sinless life, Jesus was crucified on a cross, and Jesus is risen from the dead. These 4 points all go to the historicity of Jesus. I would also like to point out that is all 4 are true, then the argument from history is enough to prove God of the God exists. Combined with other arguments makes for a an unshakeable cumulative case for God.
Professor John Lennox, sir, bless, bless, you in CHRIST JESUS ADONAI Wow / // GOD ADONAI, Dearest HOLY SPIRIT flows through you, thank you ALMIGHTY GOD for using John to help me when my human logic was oppression...
Professor Lennox, thank you Sir. Have you met Pastor Dr. Kumuyi? He's also a Mathematics Professor from Nigeria and the Founder and Pastor of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry. You are both Mathematics legend and shining lights of the Gospel. Amen and amen!!!
I just have to look at the wings of a butterfly, or smell the aroma of wild roses, and I know all this intense beauty did not just slither out of primordial ooze. There is more historical evidence for the existence of Jesus than for many historical figures that we take forgranted.
every day we proceed, God's angels pulled more on the arm of this precious humble man, the world will loose an apostle of Christ when he go to be with The Lord. i'm terrified of that time.
Good point on the term 'apologist'. Here are my personal thoughts: It's a term that I was not familiar with, and it speaks to the reality that many agnostics (like me) and atheists are somewhat repelled by this unfamiliar language. Apologist makes me think of 'apology', and in a religious context it makes me assume that it means something extreme. Probably because contemporary assumptions around all religion is fairly extreme, but that is sadly where we are, and only mutually understood language can help bridge that gap in understanding. I find John Lennox compelling as a speaker and a thinker because he communicates in a way that I and most people would easily understand; the manner of his communication is very relatable. Many Christian communicators speak in terms that would seemingly (to me) be appropriate for a sermon, which turns us away. To us, it appears cult-like on the surface; it requires a level of knowledge, understanding and general familiarity that non-religious folk do not possess. It feels extreme. Saying something as seemingly obvious to Christians as 'Christ gave his life for us'... I don't know what that means. I would really appreciate some discussion around Christianity that helps me to understand what exactly there core tenets of Christianity actually mean.
Lord almighty, Jesus Christ, Lord! Lord! I'm here in Denmark, drunk as a lord, and Lord almighty, Lord almighty - crying like a child: thank you! Thank you! Kind regards Kim

So thkfl for brother John .gems of the faith that help us all through life's tough ?'s get to our destination in a better way.
Thanks God, Thanks Jhon Lennox and Thanks Amy for the great interview and the views given. ❤❤❤❤
Amazing to have met John Lennox in Oxford and being one of his students and having experienced the fear of saying dumb stuff when he asks you a question during the lecture. And after that being grilled for my stupid answer.
How can a man with such a sweet face be such a strict tutor?!
Thank you Mr Lennox, I'm a big fan of you :)
Been longing for Lennox and J.B.Peterson to have a dialogue, hope it will be on youtube very soon!
The epitome of positive Chrisrianity ..., just a lovely, lovely man!.... Well done true and faithful servant..
Evidence base faith 🙏 love john lennox ..... mind expanding 🎉 love it john ......
Wow !
I thought Amy had departed for Mars and here, suddenly, she reappears after a few years.
Good to see you again Amy. I think things fell apart for OCCA for a while, which is maybe why not even algorithms help'd.
Always, always good to listen to dear John Lennox. Blessed 80th birthday John ... tho this maybe late arriving. 🙏🏼
Dr. John Lennox is profoundly truthful. That alone drives his profound faith. Can't get enough of his explanations. Brilliantly obvious - once he identifies these truths in plain language.
Great interview. Thank you!
John Lennox thank you. Your testimony of your father inspires me to be like him as a father
For God so loved the world that He gave His only son so that whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.
He didn't sacrifice his son.
His son (considered himself by some) was/is immortal.
At best, he allowed his son/self to endure a bad few days nailed to a tree, so that he could be a sacrifice, (possibly to himself) to pay for the sin that god created in order to fulfill a need to sacrifice his son/self at whatever passes for a future event in God's timeless realm.
It's so daft! It's genuinely mind boggling? 🫣
And you burn in Hell if you don't accept him.
He loved the world so much, he drowned most of it an its inhabitants. What do the koalas, and lemurs do to deserve that?
@@WayWalker3
Its estimated that there would have been some two million people on earth at the time of the supposed flood, making it one of the biggest genocides ever, up until H.i.t.l.e.r.
Were there even koalas on the arc?
@@Yossarian.what is the definition of genocide?
What blessed parents you had, Dr. John Lennox. Thank God for that.
Always love listening to Mr. Lennox.
I hope one day to meet John! But he has helped me in so many ways and appreciate him
I never tire his lecture, never tire repeats, couldn't get enough.
I wish that I could set under his teaching daily and be filled with his knowledge and share in the love for Christ! Thank you John & thank you too for giving such credit to your wife, Sally, for I am sure she was a great contributor to who you are and where you are in life. What a blessing!😊
All the glory to Jehovah God! Thank you to all for this program 😊
God does not exist, and this has now been proven.
I love that someone who's been gifted with such knowledge and wisdom by God, is also compassionate with everyone that he talks to that doesn't believe in God as we do.
My absolute favorite apologist (by far). Love the southern accent bit.
Very complex issues made so simple for anyone to understand. Thank you for this interview. God bless
Birthday congratulations to an inspiration. Praise Adonai for Professor Lennox.
He defends the faith by knowledge and kindness
Questionable knowledge doesn't really provide much defence.
Would you agree?
@@josemoody1743
Any knowledge, including Scientific knowledge, is only as good as its demonstrable observations show.
John defends Christianity through his knowledge of the Bible?
I'm saying that knowledge gained from the bible is questionable.
@@josemoody1743
You are welcome.
I am pleased to have converted you.
@@josemoody1743
It should be an issue everywhere.
Not just in the US or the UK.
You could take a copy of the bible to the planet Mars, and still, any knowledge gleaned from its pages would be questionable if such knowledge is taken as fact or even as metaphor to somehow validate its truth.
@@josemoody1743
I've no idea?
Did it?
John Lennox is living proof that the heart of Christianity, in keeping with the Love of Christ, is a humble one: that through Humility is strength found as are only the gentle ever strong. What a gift he is, and what a gift he gives! God bless you, Dr Lennox!
This was an amazing interview, thank you so much for sharing it. Amy was a great listener and the perfect person to interview John Lennox. John is a legend. He has the wisdom of a sage and an underrated sense of humour to boot. I could listen to this for hours.
awesome interview I love John Lennox he is definitely a worker of God. He speaks so simply about things that are so deep I just love to listen to him. May God bless and protect him and his family ❤️🙏✝️🙏🛐🙏❤️
Terrific interview. Great man.
Amy, I was worried about you after the scandal. As all of the videos in which I watched you were scrubbed immediately, I couldn’t find you and didn’t know your name. I found one of your books (the lecture you gave which I watched a dozen times was the authenticity of the Bible) a few months ago and now here you are! I’m so glad you are here with Dr. Lennox!
Thank you, Sir. I am really enjoying your lecture and this interview especially. Sending you ove and prayers of blessings from India 🤗🇮🇳
John is a God sent prophet!!!! Thanking God for him over and over.
John Lennox has brought a new level in intellect to the debate of the existence of God. He continues to demolish the bankrupt arguments of the those who so obviously hate God.
I pray that eyes are opened to see the risen Christ with the eyes of of a rational, reasonable, provable faith.
Sure am glad he was thrust into the world spotlight through his debate with Dawkins back in the day.
Thank you John Lennox. You’ve discipled so many through both your speaking and writing.
GOD BLESS JOHN LENNOX - REMEMBER- Nothing is nothing, never get something from nothing, Life comes from life, never get life from non-life without intelligence or a mind. All must turn to the infinite almighty GOD
You can't get life from non-life?
Where did God's life come from?
@@Yossarian. something ever existing something that is a necessary being
@@afsar_gunner5271
Question:
Could reality be eternal and necessary without being sentient?
@@Yossarian. Yes everything is possible and its a matter of faith but read the book "The God Theory" by Bernard Haisch astrophysicist. There are many others books by other scientists on God- the fact that you hv a rational mind and can link up with the mathematical laws of the universe is a big hint
"Life comes from life, never get life from non-life without intelligence or a mind." - Argument from ignorance. Christians are ignorant.
Factual, logical, calm, and articulate. More!
You are a real treasure ! Thank God for you
This has been very edifying to me thank u!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this!❤️
It is very important to understand what christianism is, what it states and why it takes you to the truth. Apart from that, we must be humble enough to be open to explore all ways that explain reality, both material and spiritual, by applying the principles of logic such as identity principle, non contradiction, etc.
I was blessed by this episode. Thanks 🥰
Brilliant, enjoyed that immensely.
So much to say. First, God bless you for this content and God bless you both. Dr Lennox is an absolute treasure. One of the clips played during this video really set me off and it was Peter Atkins having a fit over the universe coming out of nothing. I can’t recall but has anyone pointed him to Dr Lawrence Krauss, the boisterous loudmouth new atheist in AZ USA (boy aren’t I a proud fellow American) who proudly proclaims this very thing in his somewhat fairly recent book “A Universe From Nothing”. Wow that is just precious
Yes he has had a radio broadcast with him in which he addresses many things. He also points out the issue of Dr Krauss trying to get something from nothing when nothing is redefined as something. Dr. Dawkins even tries some of Dr. Krauss' thoughts on Dr. Lennox and fails miserably.
@@kennethgee2004 Lennox is a tool.
@@vladtheemailer3223 well i am sure he will be glad to here that. I find that tools are extremely useful myself.
So what is your favorite part of Dr Lennox's arguments that is useful? I can tell you mine is that he uses logic instead of ad hominem to present the truth with facts and evidence.
@kennethgee2004 Excellent, what logic based argument of his is your favorite? Can you share it with me? What demonstratable facts and truths of his are the best?
@@vladtheemailer3223 Well I would have to view the entire interview again, but I liked in one such video he used the fact that Christianity is falsifiable and as such testable. He pointed out 4 things in which if any one were proven false would raise serious doubts about Christianity. The 4 are: Jesus was not born of a virgin, Jesus lead a sinless life, Jesus was crucified on a cross, and Jesus is risen from the dead. These 4 points all go to the historicity of Jesus. I would also like to point out that is all 4 are true, then the argument from history is enough to prove God of the God exists. Combined with other arguments makes for a an unshakeable cumulative case for God.
Always a pleasure to listen to.
Thank you for this enlightening discussion and the great questions that were asked and answers that brought so much light. God bless you.
Amen great discussion. John is a rock for Christ.
Professor John Lennox, sir, bless, bless, you in CHRIST JESUS ADONAI
Wow / //
GOD ADONAI, Dearest HOLY SPIRIT flows through you, thank you ALMIGHTY GOD for using John to help me when my human logic was oppression...
Professor Lennox, thank you Sir. Have you met Pastor Dr. Kumuyi? He's also a Mathematics Professor from Nigeria and the Founder and Pastor of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry. You are both Mathematics legend and shining lights of the Gospel. Amen and amen!!!
He’s definitely not the norm. Today’s the first time I’ve heard of him and he’s a breath of fresh air.
Atheists keep waiting for Christians to show them a good argument that Lennox has made..
@@vladtheemailer3223 Believers keep waiting for atheisms to show them a good argument for atheism.
@@rl7012 Do you have something intelligent to add?
Wonderful, as ever. Thank you!
I just have to look at the wings of a butterfly, or smell the aroma of wild roses, and I know all this intense beauty did not just slither out of primordial ooze. There is more historical evidence for the existence of Jesus than for many historical figures that we take forgranted.
Thank you Lord for John Lennox.
Thanks for holding back humanity John.
every day we proceed, God's angels pulled more on the arm of this precious humble man, the world will loose an apostle of Christ when he go to be with The Lord. i'm terrified of that time.
We need more Christian like him
I Love John Lennox! A precious servant of Jesus! A beautiful gift from God
God bless you ❤
Perfect.....thank you
This is just a wonderful video full of wisdom and generosity.
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge
Good point on the term 'apologist'. Here are my personal thoughts: It's a term that I was not familiar with, and it speaks to the reality that many agnostics (like me) and atheists are somewhat repelled by this unfamiliar language. Apologist makes me think of 'apology', and in a religious context it makes me assume that it means something extreme. Probably because contemporary assumptions around all religion is fairly extreme, but that is sadly where we are, and only mutually understood language can help bridge that gap in understanding.
I find John Lennox compelling as a speaker and a thinker because he communicates in a way that I and most people would easily understand; the manner of his communication is very relatable.
Many Christian communicators speak in terms that would seemingly (to me) be appropriate for a sermon, which turns us away. To us, it appears cult-like on the surface; it requires a level of knowledge, understanding and general familiarity that non-religious folk do not possess. It feels extreme.
Saying something as seemingly obvious to Christians as 'Christ gave his life for us'... I don't know what that means. I would really appreciate some discussion around Christianity that helps me to understand what exactly there core tenets of Christianity actually mean.
Lord almighty, Jesus Christ, Lord! Lord! I'm here in Denmark, drunk as a lord, and Lord almighty, Lord almighty - crying like a child: thank you! Thank you!
Kind regards Kim
