I truly believe the purpose of life is to find him and be transformed. I think that's why there is no defined purpose and why nobody can find a logical point beyond that.
there's evidence everywhere. and the Bible even says that's how you will know he exists. it literally says the hidden things. meaning science, DNA, the big bang. all that. it's called hidden cause we didn't have the science to see any of this stuff before. as for how do you figure Jesus is the real one . the real way. go read the Bible. nobody does. everybody just makes fun of it without ever opening it. and the evidence for him and how he was vs every religion. he was logical and sane. and even the Bible also says you will know them by their fruits. the fruit of Jesus is still here today changing people's life's. and the people that truly believe in him are about as pure as a person comes. a true seasoned believer that's been through trials and life with God. go talk to them. they are a true creature indeed. Bible even says that. he starts a good work in you till completion. so if you believe in God you will become a good person. anybody who's met him or his spirit can testify to that. you get saved first also. and it's not you that changes you. it's more like the Marines. it's not optional lol. he will heal you and teach you how to be better.
The Lord bless you !!! You are so precious !
The Word of God is 💯 inspired by the Holy Spirit and Scripture can’t be broken, thou books have been removed to conceal the enemies realm. It’s disingenuous for any churches to support a heliocentric view of earth which 💯 contradicts Scripture. (The TRUE nature of earth is revealed in Scripture📖) “Earth science” is a Great BiG LiE It’s Evil to perpetuate this LiE because of souls being lost daily. “earth science” is 💯 NOT compatible with the Word of God. Anyone that reads the Bible for themselves under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and loves Truth knows this… “If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, How will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?” John 3:12 - LORD God Almighty 🔥🗡️❤️
Delightful podcast from this church
This guy is awesome 👌🏾 👏🏾 👍🏾
Music is beautiful
god bless Mr Ross he is absolutely perfect science amen 🙏🙏🙏
Anyone know of the link he talks about the nature news website where he talks about with nature journal, on the 'disturbing implications of the cosmological constant?
❤ thank God for your love
Hi, how you doing? Things are good, God is good. I'm glad you and everyone is doing great. Yes, Bruce was here. Scott and I are doing great, Dad came home from work. Buddy enjoyed his snacks😃
Praise the almighty God. GOD bless Hugh Ross.
What in blue blazes is a " cosmic" reason? Does the imbecile have no command of language whats ever?
We had on Earth had hundreds of High Civilizations far superior to us today,so nothing is surprising to me, before the Great Flood we were more advanced that now so much so we traveled out of our Solar System and colonized 2 Planets in the Alpha Centauri , now when they visit we treat them as Aliens.
"Cosmic Reasons to Believe in Christ" Sometimes even the titles are just so wacko Looney Tunes that it saves you the bother of listening. Congratulations on picking a subject you cannot possibly prove. Even god couldn't prove Jesus using cosmology...... Get a life.
He is accurate about everything except the age of the universe. Using the information in the Bible it is pretty clear that the universe and Earth is not older than 6000 years.
Lovely service Thank you.
What is far more important is that if you reject the Bible on such minor points, you will also never get any use out of the main reason why a Bible came into existence, which is to inform the people of God of their fallen state and the possibility of salvation through Immanuel, the god-man Jesus Christ. the crucified and risen Lord.
You are Wrong! the *Quran* clearly states about the expanding Universe ,it is your Bias towards Islam that you don’t mention it or you are ignorant! I quote the Quran” ^^**And the heavens We constructed with power, and indeed, We are [its] expander**.^^51:47.
Thank you, Don for this message!
Hello from Surfside Beach
I so tried to explain such things to my father before his death, but he would always shut down when i tried to point odd the sheer odds of things. But, i am also not as eloquent as Mr. Ross.
I want to ask. My questions... 1. The reality that we can see right now is that in this universe there are trillions of trillions of planets and galaxies. If there are countless trillions of trillions of planets... maybe not only planet Earth has living creatures inhabiting it...? For example, if there are a trillion other planets that have living creatures like Earth and its inhabitants are various types of non-human creatures, would Jesus also be God on those one trillion inhabited planets...? 2. The real facts that we can know right now... the earth is approximately 10 million km, the sun is 1.3 million times as big as the earth, and there is a star called U Scuty that is tens of billions of times as big as the sun . If the celestial bodies were super massive in size like that, the number in the trillions would be uncountable. How big do you think God the Creator is, bro...? Maybe God is only as big as the man Jesus...? 3. According to scientists, the universe is more than 13 billion years old, whereas according to historians, Adam and Eve only existed about 7 thousand years ago. Based on this science... maybe the universe has been empty without any living creatures inhabiting it for more than 13 billion years...? So what was Jesus doing for 13 billion years before there were humans, Adam and Eve...? Please answer me!!!!?!!!
. ke_yhw!
I want to ask, please answer me. When God created the universe, did God use raw materials? If God did not use raw materials in creating the universe, then what was it that became the universe, was it God's Word that became the universe or what was it that became the universe?
I have always loved this & used it for encouragement however, I wish it would be redone to reflect we pray and angels are enlisted on our behalf to fight for us. Angelic hosts emerging into visibility to fight evil- would be cool & encouraging to watch.
Never been more interested in the sciences since taking God seriously, and people like Hugh Ross just fuel that fire!
What branch are you studying?
@@camelotenglishtuition6394 Nothing atm. I'm new to all of this, including reading the Bible, so I'm focusing on my Bible studies and learning the basics of theology and Church history. After that I'd love to study chemistry! How about you?
Your audio feed on this video is very much muted; the piano cannot be heard...please check on.
If you look at the background of the painting "Madonna and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist" there is a UFO in the top right hand corner that closely resembles the UAP's made public through declassification by the U.S Pentagon. Angels are making a known astrophysical presence and the scientific atheist community are scrambling around to cover it up. I'm so glad to see content like this on RUclips because this is something the media isn't talking about and more people need to know about it.
I absolutely love every word you express confirms what I know is the only way it is possible, therefore, among all the interpretations thereof possible, the only Truth, truly Powerful, truly Comforting, and Our Beacon!
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD
John10: 31to39 ....Jesus is God's Son, the firstborn of all creation, as in Colossians1: 3, and 9to20 John17....Jesus prayer to his father in heaven on the night of his betrayal, to the One who raised him from the dead .
There was a Jesus Christ and his knowledge and voice was so threatening to the church they had to make up stories about him that altered his message. He just wanted to tell us we live forever and need not to give our will to any other group claiming powr.
I wish I could make up reality like you do
@@GhostScout42 You just did.
@alschneider5420 "the church" you are talking about is the brand new church comprised mainly of gentiles? or are you talking about the jews? cause of so I would think you should say temple. let's clarify on that point before going further
@@GhostScout42 The church that claims Jeasus Christ is god. I don't know one from the othr and I don't care. There is no god. So all your chatter is moot. And please do not quote scripture. To an atheist that proves you do not know what you are talking about. You can tell me I am wrong. I will accept that is what you believe. Please do not attempt to get me to believe what you believe. I have 80 years of others working hard to get me to believe what they believe. All they do is tell me I will suffer pain forever but they love me and will pray for me. You expect me to be polite. Well I am not.
@@alschneider5420 okay, i was just trying to let you know your statement is ignorant as heck and factually wrong. what the bible says is what the early church believed and what the early church believed is what Jesus followers believed and his followers believed what he said. Im not sure about eternal suffering other than being away from the precence of love and light. its not like theres going to be angels poking you, you will just be with all the other rebels who prefer not to spend eternity in the precence of God Maybe you should open your heart and really seek God. Its a crazy thing to throw away paradise because you are feeling a little rebelious
Behold the countless worlds and wonders being prepared for us as our forever homes in Christ
I'm sorry - when I heard your summary I zoned out. It sounds like a standard spouting of rote biblical rote. So I'll just ask a question. Do you have any provable, fact-based evidence of anything spiritual? And by "evidence" I mean, NOT any hearsay, feelings, faith, beliefs, hopes, coincidences or bible stories written by man. (and of course not in the bible since it is filled with too many flaws). It also sounded like he was going to prove God's existence by describing His creation. It seems to me that that argument says that God created everything. I ask, good AND bad? As Shakespeare put it "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" That would those qualities dependent on perspective. So God would have created the bad as well as the good. So why would He punish people for bad?
Please read "More than Theory" by Hugh, give lots if details on this topic. Christians are increasingly challenged with evolutionary theories as the only models for the origins and history of the universe. But is there any valid scientifically testable alternative? More Than a Theory offers a comprehensive, testable creation model. The book responds to the recent, well-publicized challenges from aggressive atheists who deny the existence of a Creator. It also reminds the scientific community of what constitutes good science and supplies Christians with the scientific information they need to defend their conviction that the Creator is the God of the Bible. Complete with appendices that put competing models for creation and/or evolution to the same kinds of tests.
lol, take theology 101 bro
@@GhostScout42 "lol, take theology 101 bro" I notice you did not answer my questions. That must mean either you want to ignore me (maybe because I'm correct). Or, you don't know any answer. Oh, and by the way -- are you really so lazy you can't add one syllable to "bro" (I presume you were trying to say an abbreviation of "brother.")? Or are you such a sheeple that you click on an automatic ethnic meme?
My faith doesn't require science to back it up but I'd be interested to hear what the speaker thinks of recent (2024) finds from the jwt showing massive early galaxies not consistent with expansion theory. Great talk btw, God bless you
Romans 1:20" For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Psalm 19 1-4: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Job 12:7-10 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. JHTS telescope: New things must just be studied and understood. New things need to be peer reviewed. We have the Hubble telescope, and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). These tools and other tools have measured the universe. The universe (time, space, and matter) came into existence 13.813 (±0.038) billion years ago. End of story. Oh, bright distant things are easy to see, darker things are not. Observation solved.
I watch this service to hear Richard Gibbons and the pianist!!!’ Thank you so much…….
A beautiful presentation. Too bad your visuals are cut off from the screen.
Ross plays a game, and pretends to exude humility and sincerity, but he is proud, puffed up and arrogant. He deludes himself, and thinks he is some kind of gnostic. He writes a book titled "Why the universe is the way it is". As though he has all the answers. Ross rejects the creation account, and contaminates scripture with Big Bang secular philosophies that directly contradict scripture. He rejects the global flood and says it was just a local flood, and believes there was death before Adam’s sin. He claims there were "pre-adamites". (people who supposedly lived before Adam). His faith is in Big Bang, and he has constructed a religious cult that conforms to it. Don't be so easily deceived, people...Gods word warns of these types in the last days.
I feel sorry for him as he being a scientist takes Bible verses as truth rather than applying scientific thought process.
Christians are increasingly challenged with evolutionary theories as the only models for the origins and history of the universe. But is there any valid scientifically testable alternative? Now available in trade paper, More Than a Theory offers a comprehensive, testable creation model. This book responds to the recent, well-publicized challenges from aggressive atheists who deny the existence of a Creator. It also reminds the scientific community of what constitutes good science and supplies Christians with the scientific information they need to defend their conviction that the Creator is the God of the Bible. Complete with appendices that put competing models for creation and/or evolution to the same kinds of tests, More Than a Theory is a bold and brave work of apologetics that will stir profitable discussion in both the scientific and the religious realms.
Isaiah 45:7 original version only God says that he creates good and creates evil
Only mankind has this kind of free will, everyone will have the freedom to love the Creator or reject and hate the Creator. If there was no Sin, we would just be robot made to do good. A robot saying "I love you" means nothing. I did not learn this till I had kids, my kids of their own free will telling my wife and I: "I love you" is priceless and real love. And if we were robots, we would be upset we do not have free will. Revelation 3:20 Here I (Jesus) am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Philippians 1:21 says, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Because we are sinners, it is a good thing we have death. Very bad people are limited to how much bad they can do. Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
This video is a very good find. Thank you for uploading it. More people should here and watch this.
There vis no cosmology and no science in the Bible, even if you use olympic level mental gymnatics.

Only the God of the Bible operates outside of the time and space dimensions we are in. So it must be the God of the Bible. Biblical Hebrew a small vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago. To deny the existence of a Creator is an error.
God gave some people a stupor spirit. They cannot discern Truth.
When someone replies with name-calling or insults, I know the person has not one idea about the topic at hand.
I'm so thankful for Hugh Ross.
belief in any god is willingly entering into slavery. Giving up you right to chose your path in life and control your destiny for the will of some imaginary deity.

So are you free? I hope you will find like countless others that if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed Jn 8:36
I don't believe in anything. I either know something is true or don't know. Belief is for those who lack understanding.
@Mario_Sky_521 you are a typical Christian...assuming I'm an atheist and assuming I believe we were evolved. Of course you assume this after I told you I don't believe in anything...I either know something or I don't. Chrsitians have a common trait..arrogance and assumption.

@@djsarg7451 I fail to understand your response. Especially the last part of "deny the existence of a Creator..." I'm curious, when was it I discussed and stated I didn't believe in a Creator?

@@djsarg7451 Exactly. I don't. I either know something is True or I don't. I just happen to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that a Creator exists. That's rather obvious. Atheist's know this...they just refuse to admit it.

Thanks for the fond mention of Black Mountain. 😊 That's where I'm watching from. God bless you all. ❤
Thank you for this video. I'm not sure if you can respond after 4 years. I love that science is providing the Bible. My question is, when you look at the timeline described in the Bible. The creation happened 6000 to 7000 years ago. When we talk about light-years and the age of the universe, it's much more than 7000 years. Can anyone explain.
He talks about that in other lectures. By his reckoning, we are still in the 7th day.
Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists. Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen. 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to?
