My parents became Christians in the early eighties, living in the GDR right behind the border to Western Germany and it's so wonderful to hear that people from other parts of the world cared to come and encourage Christians in these difficult times. Thank you John Lennox, from the bottom of my heart.

I've followed Dr Lennox's public life and debates ever since it came to the fore globally in 2007. He dismantled Dawkins completely in that first debate in Alabama. Dr Tour, your scientific knowledge on the chemical origin of life has been mind blowing over the last few years. This was a tremendous interview. The joy you both had doing it is contagious when watching it. To God be the Glory as He works in and through us all to the Glory of His Kingdom and His Christ Jesus.

I haven't seen this side of Dr Lennox before. I was riveted by his story of how he went to Hungary, how God was clearly involved in every detail, down to the continuation of the preaching from the Hungarian preacher. Hearing stuff like this really builds your faith and shows how God has a plan for all of us who choose to follow Him even when, to look at our circumstances, we can't, in the natural, see it at all

I implore you, Brother John Lennox, please write down all of these experiences and anecdotes that you have (and have them published), so that we can have all of them. What a treasure that would be. Think of it this way. It is worth while for people to see the many times and the many ways that God has shown his hand in the teaching and the helping and the conversion of his people in many varied places and times of this earth. It is faith promoting, which I know you are all about promoting faith! Love to you, Sir. And love to you, Dr. Tour! Thank you for having this delight on your show. We love you, too! And I can feel God’s love for you as well. Love just Emanates from HIM and fills the Universe (and fills our hearts).

You said it, Dr Tour! My mind has been opened by reading the Bible, too. I knew it was important to read after I began my new life in Jesus in my 20s.... But it was always a struggle. I simply prayed consistently that He gives me a heart for the word. Not just to be able to understand, but to love it. And I can't get enough! It's the best medicine for my mind, and I see things so much more clearly every day Thank you both for everything said. I love the stories, I am going to check out this movie, and I'm praying people wake up before it's too late!

I can confess that it took me 47years before taking my bible and read it front to back and making notes in the bible like a diary. The second time some passages became crystal clear. It is literally The Living Word as it speaks to you if I can put it this way. Wish I read the bible the day I became literate on school, it would have changed my life. Deuteronomy clearly state that you must drill the word every day.

Make sure that you study the Bible, not just read it. All false doctrine comes from the truth misplaced. 2nd Timothy 2:15 King James Bible version only, will put you on the correct path. This is crucial to understanding Biblical soteriology, proper exegesis, and properly applying prophecy. If the only thing a person gets is Jesus Christ crucified, blood atonement, and resurrected, freely giving eternal life in this dispensation, they will make it. However, they should not teach anything else concerning the Bible.

@Kendojin Жыл бұрын

@@JamesBrown-fd1nv For sure... I'm very big on my language matching the language of the Bible when I talk about what it teaches. And you can only get that by studying the Bible AND reading it. Reading it through is just basically bathing in the word... Letting it wash over you, through and through. The Holy Spirit will shine little spotlights on things when you do this. Maybe things you haven't seen before. It's intentional, but it's more like a passive kind of reading... Something that happens to you while you intentionally subject yourself to the Bible. And then getting in there and studying it. Especially those things the Spirit wants to teach you, and you feel called to study out... It's an adventure in God's word. Sometimes we stroll along. And sometimes we roll up our sleeves and go spelunking... Both are vital, and we can't neglect either one.

@melissawalker3888 Жыл бұрын

@@JamesBrown-fd1nv Most Christians would discount "Jesus only", but too many are just fine with saying "KJV only". It is only because I stopped believing that the KJV was the only Bible I could read or the only Bible that God approved of that I even have a relationship with Christ. I always believed in God and Jesus, but I could not stomach struggling to read the Bible in the KJV, so I was stunted in my faith and understanding. Once I started reading the ESV and NASB and even the RSV which is more similar to the KJV in style, my faith and understanding has grown and I have been blessed immeasurably by reading the Bible in modern day English, not English that requires me to constantly look up words and keeps me from understanding.

Dr. Lennox's story about Hungary reminds me of Brother Andrew, author of "God's Smuggler". He was Dutch in 1940's & thru amazing circumstances became one of the most prolific smugglers of Bibles behind the Iron Curtain then into China where his ministry eventually became known as "Open Doors International". Another story of seemingly impossible circumstances with people who suddenly intersect with a piece of a puzzle you didn't even realize God was putting together. It only required absolute faith Jesus would provide for every step of a willing journey he was taking you on. Such a lovely, lovely man. Both he and you, Dr. Tour, have such a love for people it radiates from your faces!

@@derhafi "In his mind there is no doubt, despite no demonstrable correlation between God and reality aka the complete lack of solid evidence that would add credibility to his position." It's really funny you want to be taken seriously. Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God. So if you want to pretend to be smart, please give me the laugh by giving your science how creation really happened by natural means. Also, throw in how we got the laws of nature, naturally.
