You are an asset!

Ask them, "What do you consider a 'bigot' to be?" They would have no choice but to admit that a bigot is a person who is intolerant of others. Then you can apply the roadrunner tactic. "So, by your own definition, would you agree that you are a bigot?"

Trucker_Pete if we decided to accept evidence on the basis of the gospel, then we could believe in any religion and call it “evidence” because the standards of evidence is lifted, and all believers of different religions would argue the same case that their own gospel is right. We can move passed evidence and go straight into faith and belief, but we’d be creating a new set of problems which doesn’t get us anywhere closer to finding certain truth.

@@Godlimate Yeah that's one of the common arguments to dismiss Jesus Christ. "He's just another religion". That's doesn't work just based on the Bible alone which is a verifiable historical document that names people, places and events that even non-believing historians and archeologists can verify as true. Eyewitness accounts cannot and should not be easily dismissed, especially when those who made those claims suffered and were executed for them. Hardly something a group of people would do for something they knew was a lie. Then there's also the many prophecies that were written hundreds of years in advance that gave specific details as to the place, and time of the birth of Christ and then His life and death. All of those being fulfilled is a practical impossibility. That's a very small summary from the written word alone and no other religion even has that. It also cannot be dismissed by any counter evidence saying otherwise. Anyone who brushes it off is doing it by sheer will alone. Not by facts. I'm not saying exclude everything outside the Gospel in apologetics, I'm saying that the Gospel should always be given as it's still the most powerful thing as God's word.

Trucker_Pete Islam has made many fulfilled prophecy claims, Catholicism’s validity is stretched to the abundance of miracle claims. It’s not necessarily eradicating Christianity from the picture, but like I said, it brings a new challenge to the table when religions are competing against each other. Persecution only promotes the sincerity of the belief but it does not validate the belief itself because there are other religions who hold sincerity to their beliefs too, and rather than dying for it, they would instead kill for it. In either way it promotes a form of power, but I would probably argue that what makes Christianity stand out above the rest is the protagonist (Christ) who took it upon himself as the scapegoat. This was a radical social phenomenon that shaped our society in how identifying as a victim gives its own power because society that develops a conscience to empathise is becoming more popularised.

@@Godlimate Islam has made many prophetical claims but have they all come true? That's the real question. If anything hasn't, even just one, it casts doubt on the validity of not only the claim but the god they credit it to. And their willingness to kill for their religion is nowhere near as remarkable as those willing to die for their eyewitness testimony. Having all 11 original apostles and then Paul willing to give up their lives, careers, families, be imprisoned, flogged, beaten, threatened and ultimately executed for claiming Jesus rose from the dead if they knew that wasn't true makes no sense at all. They gained nothing. No power, no fortune, nothing for it. In fact they lost everything and they knew they would. All they ever had to do was give up and go home. They were offered many chances and denied them all for what? A lie? 12 people being willing to do that defies any logic or reason regarding human behavior. Christianity is also unique as you said by Jesus (God essentially) suffering and dying for His people. That's unheard of anywhere else. Also unique is the Christian path to salvation. We can have no part in it. Every other religion is a works based religion where the believer can take some credit for themselves for attaining it by their devotion and good works. Christianity is all about the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. All we're called to do is believe on Jesus, the work that He did on the cross and His resurrection to be saved. Many don't like the fact that they can't help out by doing something and add those things themselves, hence some of the cults and denominations. When it comes to atheists, I like to remind them that they're not really atheists unless they mean it as the willful rejection of God. Because many will say that there is no God but that claim has a burden of proof on it to give evidence to support it. Of course there is none. When faced with that fact, I've had some concede that agnostic is a more accurate name for their beliefs. That way they can avoid that burden by admitting that there's a possibility that God exists but that they personally don't believe from the evidence given. Another way to look at all the religions is that either one is true or they're all false. They cannot all be true so we can eliminate the claim that they're all valid. The different faiths make contradicting claims, especially about the identity of Jesus and that alone leaves the conclusion that they cannot all be true. Once that's established, they can be narrowed down by their foundations, historical evidence, documentation and the nature of their followers and converts. When closely examined and researched, the Christian faith has far more credible, historical, archeological, prophetical and testimonial evidence than all the rest. It's not even close.

Muslims dont need to be changed the prophet Muhammad s.a.w said, “you will not go to heaven unless if you believe, and you would not believe unless if you love each other, shall i told you what if you do you will love each other? disclose salaam among you (hadith of muslim 1/74)

The 3 questions is meant for people who make truth claims. If I say God exist I better give evidence God exist.

SOULSafeProductionZ Ha ha ha. That’s the position of the atheist. The creationist claims they have a relationship with god. What do you mean by that? How did you come to that conclusion? Have you considered you might be deluded? The atheist has nothing to answer.

@@frankwillet9221 And atheists, like you, claim and believe that an unobservable "event", evolution can be categorized as science and fact even though the only proof you have is your opinion. And you call me deluded? Give me a break.

@@frankwillet9221 The atheist has much to answer because the atheist has to answer why reality is not in their side. The atheist has to explain the assertion of humans coming from apes when there is no observable evidence of it. They have to explain why the finches on the Galapagos Islands are still finches and not dogs, cats nor elephants. Adaptation is the only thing that can be shown, but many atheists push adaptation as if it is evolution. The only way you can show evolution is in science fiction movies (FANTASY) where you can manipulate time and visuals to tell the story you want to tell, but at the end of the day, it's still only AN IMITATION OF LIFE! Not reality! No one has billions of years to wait for something you claim will happen, but that will never happen. And we definitely don't have time to wait for some magic trick of a monkey turning into a human. Again, sir, you're the deluded one. You believe in the myth. You believe that magic tricks and mindless processes formed all of the precise intricacies of the universe. You believe that NOTHING created everything.

SOULSafeProductionZ Atheism has nothing to do with evolution. And then you projected a bunch of false beliefs into me. Why do creationists do this? Why do you tell other people what they think and believe and get it so wrong?

Frank Willet So what do you believe?

What a waste of time. You need to understand why the atheist doesn’t believe. And for that you need to ask each individual.

@@frankwillet9221 So, why don't you believe then?

@@frankwillet9221 But somehow, I get the strongest, strangest feeling that you'll avoid answering the question and then try to tell me that I actually need to ask every atheist...

SOULSafeProductionZ I don’t believe the bible because it’s not believable. From the beginning it gets it wrong about how the earth was formed and It just goes downhill from there. Neither am I superstitious and I don’t believe in demons, angels and magic. Then further reading has shown that it is completely made up from earlier myths and stories and the stories about Jesus were made up after he died.

SOULSafeProductionZ On top of that, believers reasons for believing are based on misinformation and logical fallacies. The apologetic ministries are dishonest and lie about evolution and believing on faith only is not a good reason to believe anything.

Who doesn't get what?

@@Yesica1993 Greg misses the Spirit of God coming down upon Jesus therefore he doesn't see God the Savior before Jesus.

Love worshiper, not Christian.. when you Really put love first you will see how the other term gets in the way of the law. John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” the prophet Muhammad s.a.w said, “you will not go to heaven unless if you believe, and you would not believe unless if you love each other, shall i told you what if you do you will love each other? disclose salaam among you (hadith of muslim 1/74) Leviticus 19:18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:34 The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Partiality is Sin. Love is law, religion cannot be factored in. James 2:8-9 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors Deu 10:16-20 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer. For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.

this is a joke right?

Daniel Mione No. I thought a book by god shouldn’t need any help.

Because people don't read anymore, and have a presupposition that it's a waste of time, because is old and irrelevant?

Bible is the only trustable source and I have never heard anyone keep it 100% in truth. I preach it everyday.. not the entire bible, but select passages that I feel cover the heart of the message.. my guess is this is what is meant by tactics. People will only read so much.. what do you pick to share?

When was this book promoted to be something to replace the Bible?

What do you mean by bad tactics?

@@cameronclark447 An example is, Greg has the burden of proof when he claims that Jesus AKA Yahweh created the universe. But rather than having to defend his claim, he tries to switch the burden of proof by asking the non-believer, what do you think evolution is true.

What about it?

@@joshuang6896 kinda funny he's selling books on tactics don't yah think, according to Calvinism the un elect can't repent and the elect can't perish.

@@joshuang6896 lol John Calvin.

@UCeAdiMpGsi7KVFYMOh1mVng according to Calvinism the ones God created for salvation can not resist, the majority are pre selected to be the logs in the flames of hell .

T Sapp Could God decree and use the Columbo Tactic to bring His elect from spiritual deadness to grace and salvation?

I’m an atheist and I just want to say there is no truth, that we were all here by accident, and that my belief in not believing in god is my way of saying there is no god. 🙄

Uh, the entire culture? They may not word it exactly that way, but everyone says something along the lines of, "This is my truth." Which is logically ridiculous. Truth is truth. There's no "my truth" and "your truth."

Yesica1993 I’ve never heard anyone say that either apart from creationists.

Those who say there's no such thing as absolute truth are dependent on its existence to prove it.

@@frankwillet9221 Oh, please.

I am up to 45 minutes in this video. Please give the time stamp where they were talking about creationism. I must have missed that.
