"Why is Christianity the engineers dream?" I am not an engineer or mathematically inclined, but I do believe the our Heavenly Father is the Great Builder and Jesus was a carpenter😄

I am truly lost for words! Ummm I thoroughly loved this conversation. I’m one who deals with the ‘dumb Christian’ terminology being thrown around. This is exactly what I needed! Bless God…so much wisdom and language.❤

One) fascinating Two) enlightening Three) encouraging Four) satisfying. I like to think that I am a natural skeptic. I really want to know why I believe what I believe. I want to always be asking “is it true“… My beliefs. This video is so satisfying. I love how this man has thought through these big and complex questions. Very thoughtfully. Thank you, Brandon! I don’t want to argue. Arguing is exhausting and fruitless. I love how are you want to engage in truth in such a kind, loving and compassionate way. Kudos brother!

58:11 “come to a relationship with Him before we start fixing the moral problems.” I love that! Imagine everyone united In Christ, heart warming.

All glory to The Most High! I just put all my focus on JESUS and its Amazing! Please swing by and drop a little support on the comments, its greatly appreciated 🙏

I feel like you always ask 2 or more questions at a time and tend to make a lot of side comments in the process, sometimes you are hard to follow in this way. God bless bro

Watch out for the scams in the comments

What a great interview. Keep up the good work, the exposure to great thinkers is very needed

This was amazing! I could feel Ganesh's heart for God through the screen.

Wow, what a powerful spiritual journey! God bless this former Hindu!

This was such a fantastic interview. I love everything you do on this channel. Thank you!

Thank you for bringing such an inspiring guest with a powerful testimony that proves the truth of Christianity! Praise God for His continued work in our lives and for sharing His truth through wonderful witnesses. God bless you all! 🙏✨

Praise Jesus

Jesus is the way!

I love your channel brother... Ita definitely strengthend my faith. Ive shared your videos with many of my family members who dont fully belive in GOD! I always get a positive reaction back from them. Thank you again and all glory to GOD 🙏

Have you listened to any of John Butler's content?

God has put eternity in the hearts of all mankind" Eccl.3:11 Let's not put Science as a primary gateway to a knowledge of God. The questions a scientist may ask about the meaning of life are the same questions an uneducated ploughman may ask. And God can answer both uniquely and sufficiently unto salvation by Grace through Faith in Christ. God has chosen the simple things to confound the wise.

Ganeshan Venkataraman, Condensed Matter Physicist, is an exceptionally humble and patient listener!❤

We are watching the birth of the newest Christian apologist to to go international; Ganesh is brilliant!!

God always opens eyes halleloya to jesus christ our savior and lord❤

1:00:05 The problem I see in the modern western world is that you can tell people this, and they will want to be loved on their terms, not Gods. I see them more likely to say, if God loved me he would let me live whatever way I want to and love me still, and if not he's not a loving God. From there I would tell them that a parent knows better than the child and needs to correct the child because they love them, and if you don't teach children good things it is harder for them to learn them. Ect ect. Just wanted to get that thought out in response to thatn, thanks for this helpful conversation l:)

Nice interview. Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑

Amen, sir

Wished for a long time to see or hear something regarding hinduism. I know its another false religion but its so complicated and Vast its hard to pinpoint where it is wrong

24:59 we know why biology acts and reacts in certain ways given the elements inducing chemical reactions. The pressure of our environment, limited space, forcing all these different parts to be constantly manufacturing the world we live in. These microscopic organisms and cells are of course too small for the human eye to see, so it may seem miraculous. I don’t think it’s a great conversation to say that “due to science’s/humans limited understanding of the universe, ergo God is the creator” I think given our natural abilities of what we see with our naked eye (the beauty of this world), our natural responses to react with love, and what our faith brings the human soul are stronger “reasons” or precise correlations for why we can know as Christian’s that God is here and exists in all of us.

What a blessing this was, an absolute blessing to hear such a beautiful perspective from a very well articulated brother in Christ 🙏

The difference between God and 'The Universe" is Will.

Seek and you shall find.

Science does not replace God. Science brings us closer to Him.

God bless 🙏

“Christianity is an engineers dream”. So true! That perfectly encapsulates the universe, both visible and invisible; material and spiritual. The farthest red shift galaxies at the edge of the expanding universe are governed by the same laws and forces we see locally. Splendid interview. Thank you!

A great interview. Really solid and level thoughts.

Ganesh is a lovely man and brilliant scientist. Thank you for this interview. My tank is filled!

JESUS UNDENIABLE, PROPHECY IS OBVIOUS PLAYING OUT, PRAISE JESUS BLESS BLESS BLESS ISRAEL PEOPLE AND ANIMALS 😇🙌🙌🙌💙💙💙🙏🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏻

Very, very good! Ganesh is so sincere and realistic and we can learn from him...

I really loved this one , he is a great guest to hear from and has a lot of wisdom and understanding that is very useful , this could have been 10 hours and I would have stayed to the end. I loved his testimony and the only point I would touch on is simply where you guys spoke about people not hearing the gospel , I think this is a false presumption - presupposition we force upon God without proof this will ever be the case . If I remember correctly God said the gospel will be preached to EVERY creature and then the end will come , I think each person will hear of Jesus Christ , Christians are literally every where , and , God gives visions , when I street preach , plenty reject the message but one thing I did notice now that I am thinking of it , not one person has ever come to me and asked who Jesus is , not even once have they claimed they never heard of Jesus . I realise this is a limited experience but I just put my personal experience with that verse I quoted and I just don't think there will be people who "wont hear the gospel" I think everyone will , in some way . now , I can always be wrong , it just seems more likely to me , if they don't hear it , I would have to ask , why? did they just never care to search? the bible seems to say we will be without excuse for some reason , any ways , just kind of wanted to add in a thought to this , it feels similar to when people ask me about deathbed confessions to Christ , I don't see this as reality either , I think its more ways to find fault in Gods plan . I have a responsibility to share God is not a trinity , I heard him say three persons , this is a false teaching , please , God the Father is a holy spirit who has manifest in the flesh , his name is Jesus Christ , the body , the man Christ Jesus , is the son , but it is Gods physical form , his word made flesh , his express image , and Father and holy spirit are titles , not persons , they aren't even names , they are just titles to a person / being and that is why Jesus is the Alpha - Omega and the everlasting Father from isaiah 9:6 , so please , all I said is in scripture word for word , but trinity - three persons and all this , not there , its a lie and its a sin because its idolatry and it is heresy , both are damnable sins , to believe in three persons , is to believe in three gods and i realise you all say you don't , I get it , but thats just a mental gymnastic , three persons as one being is not possible or true or real , its three gods , you worship Jesus as someone different than the Father , this is idolatry , there is a reason he was said to be equal with God , its Gods form , not some other person , thats how he is equal , its Gods own manifestation . any ways , I don't say it to be contentious , I will be held accountable for what I do , or , what I do not do , I wanted to share the truth but I do also really love the video and that guy was a great guest.

I am still praying for God to pull down the veil like he did for you. I am having a lot of trouble believing lately. Have become very nihilistic. Please pray for me guys! Thank you!

That picture that you have supposedly of Jesus is an abomination... Jesus is not the sun god... He is the Son of God...and God. Again, charisma Cummins all you want it's still the truth... Agnosticism is the glorification of knowledge... The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord...

Here is a rational man who rationally invested his faith in Jesus

I keep thinking he is going to attempt to sell me a solar panel.

You are such a cool guy but I very much dislike your hats… if you picked a baseball hat, what would it be?

According to the general consensus of scholarship *(even critical Christian scholars),* YHWH was originally incorporated into the Canaanite pantheon as a son of the Canaanite high god El before inheriting the top spot in the pantheon and El's wife Athirat (Asherah) before religious reforms "divorced" them. El's pantheon in Ugarit (modern day Ras Shamra in Syria) is called the *Elohim,* literally the plural of El. Interestingly, the Biblical god is also referred to numerous times as Elohim. If you want to see if El is fictional, just read his mythology in the Ugaritic/Canaanite texts. "The mysterious Ugaritic text Shachar and Shalim tells how (perhaps near the beginning of all things) *El* came to shores of the sea and saw two women who bobbed up and down. *El* was sexually aroused and took the two with him, killed a bird by throwing a staff at it, and roasted it over a fire. He asked the women to tell him when the bird was fully cooked, and to then address him either as husband or as father, for he would thenceforward behave to them as they called him. They saluted him as husband. He then lay with them, and they gave birth to Shachar ("Dawn") and Shalim ("Dusk"). Again *El* lay with his wives and the wives gave birth to "the gracious gods", "cleavers of the sea", "children of the sea". The names of these wives are not explicitly provided, but some confusing rubrics at the beginning of the account mention the goddess *Athirat (Asherah),* who is otherwise *El's* chief wife, and the goddess Raḥmayyu ("the one of the womb"), otherwise unknown." *"First, a god named El predates the arrival of the Israelites into Syria-Palestine.* Biblical usage shows El was not just a generic noun, but often a proper name for Israel’s God (e.g., Gen 33:20: “El, the God of Israel”)." "I should add here that it is very clear from the grammar that the noun nachalah in v. 9 should be translated “inheritance.” *Yahweh receives Israel as his “inheritance” (nachalah), just as the other sons of El received their nations as their inheritance (nachal, v. 8).* With this verb, especially in the Hiphil, the object is always what is being given as an inheritance. Thus, Israel is given to Yahweh as his inheritance. ((Here I’m indebted to Dan McClellan.)) It would make no sense for Elyon to give himself an inheritance. Moreover, as I’ve argued elsewhere, it is not just the Gentile nations that are divided up according to the number of the *sons of El.* It is all of humankind, i.e., “the sons of Adam.” This clearly includes Israel. And the sons of Adam are not divided up according to the number of the *sons of El,* plus one (i.e., plus Elyon). They are divided up, according to the text, *solely* according to the number of the *sons of El.* *Thus, that Yahweh receives Israel as his inheritance makes Yahweh one of the sons of El mentioned in v. 8. Any other construal of the text would constitute its rewriting.* A Sumerian hymn speaks to the goddess: “Nanshe, your divine powers are not matched by any other divine powers.” *Does this mean that Nanshe was the high goddess, that there were no gods above her? No, it does not.* Nanshe was the daughter of Enki, the high god. *In Sumerian mythology, as with Ugaritic, Israelite, Babylonian, and others, in the ancient past, the high god (Enki, in this case) divided up the world and assigned his children certain domains.* Nanshe was given a limited domain (the modern Persian Gulf) and was tasked with maintaining social justice there. *This is exactly what we see in Deuteronomy 32 with Yahweh. Yahweh is given a limited domain (Israel) and is given authority over his people, to punish them, as well as to protect and defend them against foreign enemies.* That Yahweh, like Nanshe, is said to have incomparable divine power *does not* mean that he is not subordinate to the high god who gave him his domain. *It is also of note that Nanshe, like Baal, Yahweh, and so many other deities, evolved over time. Her domain increased, and she was promoted in the pantheon (although she never became the high goddess)."* *"The Most Heiser: Yahweh and Elyon in Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 - Religion at the Margins"* based on the *majority scholarly consensus.* (Written by Thom Stark who is a Christian) *"Michael Heiser: A Unique Species? - Religion at the Margins"* (A second response to Michael Heiser) *"Excerpt from “Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan” by John Day - Lehi's Library."* *"The Table of Nations: The Geography of the World in Genesis 10"* - TheTorah.com (Excluding the short narrative on Nimrod (vv. 8-12), *which appears to be a later addition,* Genesis 10 contains *70* names of nations or cities, a number that was symbolic of totality. Similarly, the descendants of Jacob were *70* in number (Gen 46:37; Exod 1:5), *as were the sons of the supreme Canaanite god El, with whom YHWH became equated.)* *"Polytheism and Ancient Israel’s Canaanite Heritage. Part V | theyellowdart"* (Of course, much of this [i.e., that Israel worshiped El and Asherah alongside YHWH] is really to be expected given that recent syntheses of the *archaeological, cultural, and literary data* pertaining to the emergence of the nation of Israel in the Levant *show that most of the people who would eventually compose this group were originally Canaanite. As the Hebrew Bible notes, the Hebrew language itself is a Canaanite language, literally the “lip of Canaan” (שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן; Is. **19:18**), and so it cannot often be distinguished by modern scholars from other Canaanite inscriptions on purely linguistic grounds.)* *"Ugarit - New World Encyclopedia"* (Ugaritic religion centered on the chief god, Ilu or El, whose titles included "Father of mankind" and "Creator of the creation." The Court of El was referred to as the (plural) 'lhm or ***Elohim,*** a word ***later used by the biblical writers to describe the Hebrew deity*** and translated into English as "God," in the singular. El, which was ***also the name of the God of Abraham,*** was described as an aged deity with white hair, seated on a throne.) *"Mark Smith: Yahweh as El’s Son & Yahweh’s Ascendency - Lehi's Library"* (Mark Smith is a Catholic) *"God, Gods, and Sons (and Daughters) of God in the Hebrew Bible.

McClellan"* (Refer to the article "Angels and Demons (and Michael Heiser)") *"God's Wife Edited Out of the Bible - Almost."* (Pay attention to whose wife Asherah (Athirat) is in the Ugaritic/Canaanite texts and how she became the wife of YHWH/Yahweh) *"Yahweh's Divorce from the Goddess Asherah in the Garden of Eden - Mythology Matters."* *"Asherah, God's Wife in Ancient Israel. Part IV - theyellowdart"* *"The Gates of Ishtar - El, was the original god of the bible."* *"The Gates of Ishtar - Anath in the Elephantine Papyri"* (In addition to Asherah (Athirat) being the consort of Yahweh, it appears some Israelites also viewed the Canaanite goddess Anat(h) as Yahweh's consort) *"Canaanite Religion - New World Encyclopedia"* (Refer to the section "Relationship to Biblical Religion") *"The Syncretization of Yahweh and El : reddit/AcademicBiblical"* (For a good summary of all of the above articles) Watch Professor Christine Hayes who lectures on the Hebrew Bible at Yale University.

I was Christian, then atheist, then adopted a Hindu mindset that accepts Jesus. Some Hindus view Jesus as a great spiritual master who achieved "Christ consciousness," a state of oneness with the divine that is available to all who undertake rigorous spiritual practice. I believe that Jesus' proclamation "The Father and I are one" affirms the Hindu idea that everyone can realize their own universal "God-consciousness." This interpretation sees Jesus' death not just as a symbol of hope and redemption, but also as a moment of enlightenment and merging with the Godhead, the source of all creation in Hinduism.

Saying the Christian God designed it is a poor explanation.

I work with 3 Nepalese Hindus Today we were talking about Religion One of them wasn't happy about the evangelism going on in Nepal and how the Christians target the poorest or lowest class to which I said There's no lowest class in Christianity no untouchables and that they were doing what Jesus told his Apostles to do Go forth and make Disciples of all Nations
