I feel that its substantially different to pray before your family or friends during a meal in public in a generally normal tone that isn't exaggerated or just amongst yourselves if you're praying for yourself. Thats different than what the bible depicts of the pharisees out in public praying loudly for everyone to hear and making themselves a spectacle, even when fasting.
I sympathize so heavily with the first question. I know more about apologetics than anyone I know, but I feel stuck with no outlet to use what I know. it’s very annoying.
for the first person, I would get the book "Tactics" by Greg Koukl. I have been able to bring up conversations about Christianity recently to my Dad, friends, and a Muslim person i met playing video games and this book has helped me do this. it gives practical tips on how to start these conversation without feeling forced.
A book that teaches you to lie about another book. Amazing
@@midlander4 have you read Tactics? there isn't much information about the Bible at all, it is mainly a beginners guide to having a conversation about Christianity.
@@LukeBowman08 you're being disingenuous at best, or more likely downright dishonest. It's a how-to guide giving xtians verbal tricks to trip up atheists. Which is really weird and pathetic when you think about it.
I would suspect that many areas of the US, for example Seattle or Portland is more secular than many areas in Europe. Eastern Europe in particular.
18:20 A new mutation of the meme just dropped: "Come back to Brazil!"
Thank you for these types of Q&A, Dr. Craig, Kevin, and the whole Reasonable Faith organization! You are doing well in serving the church and the world by helping us answer our own inquiries about the Christian faith with all its facets in this world.
God bless all of you!
Which god?
@@midlander4 The Judeo-Christian God of the Old and New Testament Manuscripts fully revealed in the Person and work of Christ. 👍🏼
@@midlander4 I guess you are being the typical troll who does not take the theistic conversations with maturity.
If you do not actually believe, why waste your time trolling? Itʼs not like it is helping your cause anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
@@JCATG believe me, William Liar Craig making dishonest videos like this isn't helping anyone except simp xtians like you
@JCATG no they didn't
:)
I hear this in churches or online and it drives me crazy. Darren to start with when you say aggressively witness; my guess is its not about witnessing at all. It’s likely that they want you to share your beliefs. Maybe you feel its not up to you to argue someone into something. I agree. If we witness, it’s to testify. To say what Gods done in your life, and for most in a “church” that’s really not much. You could have done as well going to a family councilor every week. You want to save people, there they are, every Sunday all around you, save them. Quite likely you need to start with you? Believing in God is step one, and only step one, have you become a new creation, and if so, what did that look like? Or are you like so many others, an Adamic believer doing all you can to please God by being a better dead man?
Christianity begins at salvation at a change we can’t make for ourselves and that change is obvious, but very few have undergone it. So, the Christianity we have, isn’t Christianity at all, it’s a numbers racket.
I like Dr. Craig and I like a good argument, but that’s all about reason, not faith. So you take reason out of it and what you have left then is all the fools, believing in Santa?
No Darren, and no Dr. Craig; what you have, I hope, is a deeply personal relationship with the creator of all things.
Because if you love the idea of God, the concept of God, the one you know of from the auto biography, aka the bible, the one you know about from good arguments? You’re not saved. So that’s not the faith we hear of when we read for by grace are you saved through FAITH. That faith is a gift received from God at a personal encounter with Him. Working backward to that moment it went like this.
I am now adopted and a child of God, because I encountered Him when I called out to Him. Just before that I was an Adamic believer calling myself a Christian, thinking I had faith and thinking I was saved. I knew of and about but it never occurred to me that it was all real or that I didn’t in my deepest being honestly believe. The first thing I said when He spoke to me was, get out of here; do you mean to say Gods real! really real!!! and you can call out to Him, and He answers you? Get the hell out of here……I ask you do you think I was a believer? Well I was as much as most who are sure they are.
You know you’re His because you hear Him, So has every person in your church heard Him? Do they come in week after week telling you what God said to them last week that would be witnessing. I will guess from past experience they do not; and you wish you could bring in a few others? For what?
Darren read Romans 10: 13 to 17. As Paul is difficult and you are likely Adamic…meaning it wasn’t written for you. Remember this is spiritual. Read it slowly. I’m going to walk you through it. Paul starts out ALL that call on the Lord will be saved. This is the Gospel. Did all ten virgins call? Clearly not. Did the Lord, Lord, crowd call? Again, obviously not or they would be saved, but they are all believers. What happened. Paul asks, how will they call on one in whom they have not believed, and how will they believe if they have not heard, how will they hear without a preacher. So here Paul is describing the great commission, and notice Darren; its not for everyone, its for the preacher called by God. You have to know Him to hear Him, and if you do, He has to be the one to send you. If that happened, what would He be sending you out to teach? The Gospel, not some fancy great argument, just the Gospel.
Have you heard that in your church? Here it is…..By the cross Yashua open a way for all that would to come before the thrown of God and receive the gift of faith. In other words, CALL.
So, we hear to believe. Believe to call. Call to received and by that, Grace is effective unto salvation. That’s Christianity. Paul spells out that order again read from 13 to 17 they have to hear to believe to call. So then faith comes….He just said call now he says so faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. If you call a real person assuming you did call and they heard you. What happens next is they answer you. Ok there’s more, but that’s enough to start. Faith is a matter of knowing ….. not of, not about …. Knowing God.
At 4’ mark, regarding “discrepancies “ in the resurrection accounts, Craig, as good as he is in so many areas of Christian apologetics, could have mentioned Lydia McGrews incisive work showing they never were discrepancies to begin with. Hope Bill makes a mid-course adjustment in this regard in his new Systematic Philosophic Theology series in progress.
Keep on lying about a made-up story because it makes you feel good
Firstly, I believe Dr. Craig's understanding of what a soul is, is based on Greek philosophy and not the Bible. What is a soul - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Gen 2:7) You become a soul as opposed to having a soul. Body + spirit (life force) = (living) soul. Think about the term SOS (save our souls). Do you think when someone is in peril and they send out an SOS, they want their inner being saved. Of course not. They want their whole being The soul) including their body saved from danger.
Secondly, regarding the atonement, since the 11th century, we have the non Biblical doctrines of Anselm where God's honour needed satisfied, Aquinas's satisfaction of punishment and Calvin's view that God's justice needs satisfied. I say non Biblical because there is no where in scripture that says God needs to be satisfied by anything. So when someone say He does, then this is a man-made belief and should be called out as such. It also means that God does not sit on His throne and do what He wants as this requirement for satisfaction constrains His ability to have mercy, grace and forgiveness.
Fully debunked by Dr Dan McClellan over on his channel (much like all of your laughable rubbish). Time to retire old man, the game is up.
He's a kinda a meme. "I don't believe in Christianity but Christianity actually supports all the things I believe." There was a video where he said the Bible is against man with man sexual relations but the concept sexual orientation such as homosexuality didn't exist in back in olden times so the Bible isn't anti homosexual. It's a pretty bad argument...
