- John Lennox is the speaker in this video. I love the way that he beautifully breaks down the distinctive traits of Christianity. I hope you enjoy!
Here is the original video: • John Lennox: How do I ...

I found Christ today, all day I’ve been crying in repentance and joy. I’ve never felt love this deep, caring, wise, warm, knowing he loves me and my life is meant for the better through him.
I regret ever rejecting him, the day I asked for help with sincerity in my heart he answered in the way that left me no doubt. I turned my back on god letting arrogance, sin, and temptation rule over me. Despite my indifference, me leaving him.
My lord never left me
He advised me, guided me, protected me, and loved me the entire way back to him. It’s only now I realize how blind, dismissive, disrespectful, and ignorant I was towards him my entire life. Yet he was right there by my side.
I LOVE YOU LORD!
Thank you for the video; praise Jesus our savior. Amen!

Psalm 137:9. 😃
This made my day! I am SO happy for you. Welcome to The Kingdom & please let me know if you need anything 🫶
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So happy for you! May God protect,guide and bless you!❤
Christianity is different because of Christ alone. No one else in history claimed to come for the purpose of saving the lost
Well said
Hallelujah
Actually every religion has at least one person who has claimed that😅😂😂

@@Vaxxedhole ahh don't get into our thing we have like 1000s of them. I'm talking about binary logic people/Yes or no guys/ my way or the 🛣️ people. Even each and everyone of them have one😅
I left Islam and found Christ hallelujah thank god 🙏🙏🙏
Keep that faith.
How many rakat in Al fatiha?

@JesusSaves14323 Xty concepts like sex less pregnancy, resurrection are illogical, unscientific stupidities of Xty.
1) They are pure lies
2) sexless pregnancy and resurrection are not at all holy. They are rather impossible magic, which the stupid Xty relies on
Awesome 😎. Exactly Professor John Lennox showing the hypocritical double standards that Atheists have for religious beliefs and theism that they don't apply to what Atheists do. I used to be an atheist and agnostic but they're both assumptions about reality made without any evidence just emotional arguments and strawman arguments against Christianity and theism. Creation and design requires a Creator we call God. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
I’ve been a Christian for years…I have never heard our faith explained so well. It makes me want to go and tell the world ❤
This is the way
Mark 16 15
My mom literally just explained this and I watched this video 20 mins later. She explained it with the book of job. I haven't read yet God has called me to read John and now Luke. I am new in my faith. She explained the story and the basis of Christianity thus why we have Jesus or one of the reasons.
Interesting…no one single person in The Bible ever called themselves a Christian.
@@JoshG-sw8gp lmao read romans
"Christianity isn't a religion its a relationship" I've never heard it put so accurately and so eloquently
Except that it is a religion. Just because someone says something doesn't change the fact that it's a religion by every definition. Every religion teaches a relationship with its diety. What's different? Nothing.
@@Spectre-wd9dl It's a religion but not a doctrine. In Christianity whether you believe in Jesus or not, He looks at the heart. One might confuse relationships to parents or the state as authoritative forces which are often confused with Christianity. It is however historically true, ego inflations within authoritative forces punish like they're God. That's completely wrong whether identified as a believer or not. You find the pattern all around in humans once they're confronted to the unknown.
Christ is life lived, just as described "through the good and bad times". I have realised from the 3 Abraham religions that Judaism and Islam are social collectives with their 'identity' just as we see today in wokeness. In christianity I find myself home in Christ as an individual and never have the idea i'm in a social collective. It's just like "the West", individual families that live. It is personal, the notion is often confused and overlapping with psychology. If you reflect and live life, improve upon yourself, you're good. In christ you are a sinner and that's not to be understood as bad thing but as a human thing. Once you see the connections between your consciousness and life, that you'll deeply touched and understand what spirit is. It is often when people leave religion, they find peace and autonomy. The old testaments is horrendous and new testament (Jesus Christ) perfectly fits modern age. In these post modernist age, it is all identity above truth, "new - ..., new-age". It's all an attempt to create a new God.
@@Spectre-wd9dlevery religion teaches a relationship towards its diety, but not every religion teaches that all it requires is a relationship with the diety.
@@Spectre-wd9dlYes, Christianity is a religion. The difference is the person of God as Jesus came to the earth to save his people. God comes to his people - it is not that way in other religions.
@@Spectre-wd9dlwhat every other religion does is that it supports sin and keeps people living in it. Religious people pretend to do religious things to seem good while they themselves remain unchanged. The Bible says that if somebody is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old things are past and behold the new has com.
Picking up the bible and reading it for myself, changed everything for me. ❤
Did you like the parts with mental torture, incest, murder, genocide and specicide? 😃
Psalm 137:9. 😃
@stevenweint7893 you listed more than one part, please do provide chapter and verse for each 😀
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace;;.,mm..
@@lufhopespeacefully2037 serious question: have you even read the bible?
Matthew 28:192, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Corinthians 12:4-5, Ephesians 4:4-6, 1 Peter 1:2, and Revelation 1:4-6
Ive been dealing with addiction for years as a Christian. This video came up and i usually dont click on "Christian" videos a lot anymore since i was saved but this came up and for some reason i clicked it and loved it. Thanks man. Praise our Lord!! He's definitely using you Brother 👍
I read somewhere that CS Lewis once walked into a room where there was a lively discussion on how Christianity differs from all other world views. "What's all this about then?" asked Lewis. Upon learning what was being discussed he replied, "Oh that's easy. Grace." This was very similar and indeed, at the end of the day, it is the difference. Great content, loved it 😇✝️
wow, he said something completely meaningless. so deep.
you didn't get it?. @@mnmnrt

@@mnmnrt u guys are so slaved of the evils that u guys cant accept reality
@@sunnydaze1185just because someone disagrees with you, or voices an opinion you dislike or reject, doesn’t mean they ‘didn’t get it’. By that logic I am entitled to say that any theist who continues to believe in God despite centuries of writing that has shown the very idea of God to be inconsistent simply doesn’t get it.
To me, when I was a kid and a young adult, I always thought that Christianity is so boring and restrictive compared to other religions.i was attracted to my mother's religion the most which is Hinduism. I also became interested in new age and Buddhism later and the religion of my school friends which was Islam. I even was curious about witchcraft and law of attraction - what's the difference between all of those? To me, I found that, my boring Christianity was my safe place. My boring Shephard was where I would run to for safety when I got scared when I was sad or I hurt myself. About ten years ago I then realized that Christ was the only one. I went back to church but kept the new age things I liked, as tarot and manifestation. My Church seemed to somewhat ride that wave too. But Glory to Jesus! About three years ago, I guess my Shephard had enough since I was basically so depressed and hopeless I wanted to die. He asked me to come and truly know him. I said yes. I have never been better inside and never been more in love.❤️❤️❤️ His kindness is sometimes overwhelming and he is so reall - that is the difference.
Thank you for sharing this!! He is so patient with us with a never giving up kind of love ❤️

@@stephenwatts2649 the bible is ridiculous.there have been 7,000 plus gods that have been proposed by humans over time in hundreds of different languages and in hundreds of different countries.there is not and never has been the slightest evidence that any of them are real.Christianity is a human blood sacrifice cult that should be in libraries in the section marked Mythology. I am sorry that people whom you trusted fed you this ridiculous bronze age nonsense told by fearful uneducated superstitious misogynistic bronze age desert tribesmen in the most backward part of the middle east.
What a beautiful testimony!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:1-14 KJV
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:38 KJV
Love it. At 38, I have lived the Christian life for 33 years. Through faith, love, failure, and doubt. I can't believe I still believe...I'm too logical and skeptical. The fact that I still love, yearn for, and pursue Christ is proof enough for me that He is the I AM. Praise the resurrected Lord!
There aren't different types of Christians.
Christianity isn't a branch of different religions/denominations.
Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Methodists, Orthodoxes, etc... ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.
*There aren't different ways to Heaven, there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.*
These fake religions have beliefs, teachings, ideologies, rules, and traditions THAT ARE NOT IN THE BIBLE.
If you practise something in your religion that you can't find anywhere in the Bible, you are not a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ).
The "I AM" exists with or without JC. If it takes your belief and faith in him to accept it, well, so be it. But a blind-faith belief in him is not necessary to experience the beauty and the freedom of being here now, in the moment. We are all on our own path. Nothing wrong with religion, as long as the practitioners of that religion are not so arrogant as to think that THEIR God, THEIR way, THEIR beliefs are only way to "salvation."
LOL. Logic has nothing to do with Faith or religion my friend.
@@rickarmstrong9660You missed. Jesus Christ IS the "I AM" John 8-58, 4-26. Note: The word "he" is in italics which means it was added by the translators. Jesus was also in the OT Ex 3-14.
Sir, according to our tradition inherited from our forefathers.we still believe in only one "creator" .so this mean that if we Don't believe in christ.we all die or become sinner.
What I find fascinating is that the more I study the Old Testament, the more I discover that this principle of acceptance at the beginning was true even then. For example Abraham believed and it was credited to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6).
How does this reflect acceptance: "Then he (Moses) said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor. The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died." Ex. 32: 27, 28
Abraham is the father of all believers based on the principle Jesus put forward.
It is not acceptance. In context, Lennox said believe, have faith and you will be granted grace and mercy. Those who were slain were un believing and un faithful. Therefore they shunned the Lord and vengence/justice was enacted by God for God through the hand of the Levites. Big difference. Context matters.

I'm an apologetist at school, and when I suggest the idea that Christianity is a relationship with God, it's like I'm speaking an unfathomable langauge. Faces people pull at me give the impression that their faith has nothing to do with unconditional love. A fact as simple as the God that created everything would want us to understand and be with him is absolutely crazy and makes no sense to my friends. They see it as a "religion". Do this and this will happen. Do it enough times and God will let you through the white purely gates of heaven.
Exactly! Christianity is not a "religion" (whatever this word even means). Christianity is truth. And it is a relationship!
It's both. Read the KJV book of James.
You can call it whatever you want to try and make you feel better about your faith, but make no mistake, you cannot have a "relationship" with a myth or a dead guy.
Christianity is a RELIGION by definition. It is no better than any other religion, you have no more proof for your god or claims than any other religion.
So when Christians call their RELIGION a "relationship", of course we are going to look at you even more strangely than we already do.
@@MacacoMoninheiro And that surprises you, does it?
This had me crying because it just hit home how much my Lord loves me and even though I call myself a Christian, I just dont get it fully and understand the depth of His love for me. THANK YOU for posting this video.
I'm the same
You're not alone. Many Christians, including me, really don't understand the depth of love God has for fallen beings. May God open our eyes.
Love it, for anyone wanting scientific evidence that supports the Bible as a accurate historical account, please watch "Is Genesis History". Anyone who says, there is no evidence, simply isn't willing to do the research.
Mr. Lennox is a very likeable person and I enjoy listening to him. However, it's best when he sticks to the science area of believing in God and The Bible.
He said regarding Jesus saying: "...that if we listen to him and accept his word and believed on him as the savior as the son of God, we would have in that moment eternal life and we would not come into judgement..." is why he should not teach matters spiritual of God or Jesus or the apostles. Because, if Lennox's interpretations were true, and additionally that good works "are not the basis of acceptance," there would have been absolutely no need for any followers of Jesus and True Christians of the first (and somewhat into the second) century AD to have kept teaching and preaching Gods good news at the risk of losing their jobs, going to prison, to be beaten and whipped, tortured and murdered, all described in The Bible and in academic/secular writings, if works were not Needed. "Faith without works is useless" and "faith without works is dead" and "Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:20; 2:26; 2:18). Too many of you intentionally ignore Gods words for the sake of your traditions, because your traditions benefit and suit you better, and not Gods word.
@@markuse3472 ''Because, if Lennox's interpretations were true, and additionally that good works "are not the basis of acceptance,"
Lennox is right. You are saved by grace THROUGH faith. Salvation is given when you confess Christ and repent of your sins. From that moment, you are considered a child of God. Then we begin to live by faith/trust. But like you said, faith is dead without works. We do good works because God has saved us, not so God can save us. That's the huge difference between a life of trusting God and a life of works for salvation sake.
I love that he uses marriage as a vision of why and how Christianity isn’t a human-merit-based religion - and has good foundation to do so, since God uses marriage as His foundation both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. Well done!
The church is the bride of Christ. It was a beautiful illustration.

0:25: 🙌 John Lennox explains the difference between Christianity and other religions based on evidence and trust.
3:48: 📚 The speaker recalls a seminal experience at Trinity College Cambridge where he learned about a rational forensic defense of the resurrection of Jesus.
15:10: 💡 The speaker argues that if one does not preclude the supernatural possibility of the Resurrection, there are significant historic reasons to believe in its occurrence.
7:51: 🙏 Christianity is not a merit-based religion, but a relationship with God.
11:21: 💔 The video discusses how every person has fallen short of God's glory, but God still loves us and made a way for us to be righteous through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
Recap by Tammy AI
What's one scripture that you believe says anything about a trinity or Christianity
Recap by Tammy AI? Who is this person, please?
There's no forensic evidence for the rise of Christ or that it even occurred, only a story that is demanded to believe because you to go to hell if you don't. But god loves you.
There's no evidence, but he demand only trust his story & questioning it is just silly. In the end, Lennox is just one more church preacher preaching the same thing other preacher preach in church to their flock all the time. I see nothing new from Lennox's preaching.
To talk about how ONLY YOUR magick sky wizard is actually based in fact and not faith like the other beliefs really just... makes you sound incredibly insecure or arrogant
This literally is just a video of him saying "im right and every other beliefs are wrong and blind faith, and we have evidence because we have all of these books containing magick.
Its like saying im right and have evidence, because i decided it to be so
Its more making god in your own image than being any sort of open or receptive to truth
If all you can do is try to blanket the other groups as crazy extremists listening to devils and schizophrenic paranoid delusion, you dont have an argument because literally every one of your arguments applies just as much to your religion
Saying MERIT loudly with conviction does not give you more merit
You will look at older sanskrit stories claiming to be true and you will dismiss it and say they are just fairy tales for their magic elements and philosophy, but then literally say your religion is right dispite literally only popping up thousands of years later in documents that have no sources or witnesses and you just handwave the Contradictions away by falling back on a belief that "oh, the true story was always known, just not written down because everybody knew it"
That is the limit of your evidence, but you dismiss claims documents and stories of other faiths as just made up while falling back on a faith without evidence or documentation to support the claim that your stories are the real truth
These people are literally so clueless and confused its like the sun tzu meme "to confuse your enemy you must first confuse yourself"
They say other beliefs are just made up, but dismiss historic document trails and literally history carved in stone to believe a story that literally has no observable evidence or history was real instead
The thing about comparing jesus to the ceasars is we can dig them up and fucking blood sample them, but somehow we cant seen to find the cave with a blood sample to confirm the ressurection of the chosen one... with all those claimed fictional witnesses and worshippers... how odd right?
Because the thing is, history DOES leave observable testable reaults in a lab, but no such thing has ever been found to confirm Christianity
You would literally rather remain ignorant to the fact that we have the rest of the historical records and events from the time period and area but mysteriously no records confirming the events have ever been found... unless, that "hole in the records" is just a lack of records or evidence...
Basically you're all narcissistic hypocrites

God is a piece of shit
As a Christian myself, when the relationship and no-works acceptance of the poor sinner is explained well, I can't help but cry, because of the beautiful sacrifice and offer Jesus made to us all.
What sacrifice? He went to live in heaven forever. His suffering was no greater than that of countless millions of humans before and after him. Cance rpatients every day endure more suffering than the alleged Jesus ever did.

@@gamingdragon1356that wasn't his claim. The Bible is not the only source that proves Christ lived and suffered crucifixion. It was a historical fact according to historical evidence.
The biblical writings were not even a "Bible" as we know it today. They were rather people writing eyewitness accounts from first hand (or possibly second hand) accounts. They weren't written by people writing fiction because they felt like it on a whim. The writings came out of people's experiences.
There are other writings in history too about Jesus outside of the Bible. It's possible that you have heard of them?

As I see things, the Catholic Church is most interested in chaining people to it, making them feel beholding to it, and tethering their souls to the organized Catholic system. This is plainly evil. Be set free from all the ritual, the traditions, the myths that are drowning you and your soul. Worship God and His Son alone, read Scripture for yourself, and invite the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you into all truth. Be set free, and be released from the chains that bind you to the Catholic Church.
I believe Catholic Church teaches, Catholic Church is the Church of Jesus Christ,
deepen your Catholic faith by reading the Bible cover to cover. you will appreciate how the Catholic church came from the Bible.

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. 27Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Christianity is about establishing a relationship with God through religion. Ppl often parrot the "Christianity is not a religion" phrase because they're practicing a version of it that allows them to define the relationship on their own terms. It is safe to assume that such ppl are following a version of God that is more convenient for them and not the God in the Bible. Christ stated in John that whoever loves Him will live by His commandments. That is religion.

@@vegandew You have to study the Bible prayerfully and ask the Holy Spirit to sensitize your inner man( your spirit)to enable you to see and comprehend the evidence Prof Lennox provided. I have read through the Bible 4 times. This apart, from my daily Bible reading sessions with the family previously in the morning but now at dawn, it wasn't difficult for me to make sense of what Prof Lennox said. The fact is that for any scripture to make sense to a person, he or she must have the same measure of anointing as the one who was first inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak or write that scripture. Everything Prof Lennox said agreed with the Bible.
This guy has a very efficient, elegant thought process and simple explanation. That is the mark of genius.

I’ve always been a Christian / Grew up in a Methodist family. I just wanted to say no matter how lost you or I became Gods love reaches out even when I feel most lost because or shall I say His timing , it’s a miracle in it’s self. I’ve always accepted Him. His always with us. In my most worst time trying to make spiritual (Tarot) work with Christianity got me really lost and at my worst time God still reached out to me with addressing what I really needed to hear by something I was concerned about and continues the relationship because He is real and loving ❤

Perfect articulation both on your part as well as Lennox, brings tears to my eyes
That was truly a blessed moment when he explains it. God Bless John Lennox for articulating that.
It's like my relationship with my dog. I love him unconditionally and would do anything for him. I know he's not the smartest of doggos, but he is incredibly sweet. I did my best to teach him the rules and how to be, but to him he can't comprehend the full picture, and I know that he never will. And yet I try to get him off the leash as much as possible, give him as much freedom as I'm allowed to, and trust him to be good as much as I can. So I know he will make mistakes, but that doesn't matter because I already love him and will always accept his mistakes as something that comes with him. The result is that he is free to be himself, and his self is beautiful and he is adored by everyone who sees him because they can see the beauty of what a free, trusted, and loved dog looks like. And I hope I will see him in Heaven one day, and before then I will honor him in life and memory, because I know he would do the same for me.
Aw, this is a beautiful analogy. Made me tear up because I love my dog too. 😢 never seen this pov until now. 😊

The point that Lennox made is why I left the church and became atheist for several years in my college days. I couldn't fathom that "there's nothing I can say or do to earn my salvation". I hope people of other faiths can one day realize how radical and insane this is, it took me 20+ years. God knew I'd have this struggle, which is why he's always made Titus 3:5 the only Bible verse I've ever had memorized my whole life, even though for much of it I wasn't Christian.
"He saved us, not because of the righteous things we have done, but because of his mercy"

Mr. Lennox is a very likeable person and I enjoy listening to him. However, it's best when he sticks to the science area of believing in God and The Bible.
He said regarding Jesus saying: "...that if we listen to him and accept his word and believed on him as the savior as the son of God, we would have in that moment eternal life and we would not come into judgement..." is why he should not teach matters spiritual of God or Jesus or the apostles. Because, if Lennox's interpretations were true, and additionally that good works "are not the basis of acceptance," there would have been absolutely no need for any followers of Jesus and True Christians of the first (and somewhat into the second) century AD to have kept teaching and preaching Gods good news at the risk of losing their jobs, going to prison, to be beaten and whipped, tortured and murdered, all described in The Bible and in academic/secular writings, if works were not Needed. "Faith without works is useless" and "faith without works is dead" and "Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:20; 2:26; 2:18). Too many of you intentionally ignore Gods words for the sake of your traditions, because your traditions benefit and suit you better, and not Gods word.
@@markuse3472 "... science area of believing in God and The Bible."
Believing is not science! It's the exact opposite!
Really though, actually read and understand the comment before you respond. Thanks.
Mr. Lennox and many other Honest scientists completely prove God and The Bible accurate and true, and evolution a complete lie.
I believe because I asked, rather flippantly, for God to show me something to make me believe. He did so immediately. And then I gradually found I no longer had anxieties that had plagued me. Belief has changed me in to a much nicer person.
I love your channel my friend, and this video filled my with the Holy Spirit. Thank you, God bless you, and keep up the good work!
I just love to see how God is using you to spread the gospel through this channel. Praying for you here in Dallas Theological Seminary 🙏!
Great presentation and great reflections by you. Very inspiring ... Thanks so much!! :))
Your angle/explanation on how John wrote down his experiences and didn't know some day it would be added to this thing called the Bible was awsome. I've have certainly never thought about that. You can obviously look at the whole book and apply that concept. I will be using that way of explaining the book for the rest of my life.
Doesnt mean its any more reliable? Literally doesnt change anything about the reliability of the Bible except for perhaps the texts they chose to use would all have a confirmation bias
Love this video! So well explained.
Great video. thanks for these excerpts of thoughtful apologetics
It’s not a religion it’s a relationship what a wonderful line,thank you
It is a religion. And a relationship with absurdity.
My spiritual relationship with Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ has led me to enlightenment and intellectual superiority through the use of marijuana and psychedelics.
@@redavis6581 Sir, you can't worship both. It is said, "You shall have no other gods before me."
A relationship is an exchange of value or values, a good relation is like justice as it is an exchange of benificial value or values for equally benificial value or values. What equally benificial value or values do you offer your god in exchange for this god's benificial value or values he has supposedly given you? If there is not an equal exchange of value or values you may be in a bad relationship and if you can't demonstrate any exchange of value or values you probably do not have a relationship.
@@Call-me-Jesterthat exchange is made in love.
In my mind’s eye, I am watching John Lennox and C.S.Lewis on stage, enlightening us all about our faith. The best of the best!!! God Bless us All🙏❣️
John Lennox was blessed with a powerful mind , that he can explain things so well that even a child would clearly understand. Able to share our wonderful Lord and Savior to the masses.
A child will understand, but an adult would see through. Children will accept the truth of anything you tell them. Hence Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and children's fiction in general.
They don't require explanatory depth!
In all my 65 years, I have never heard such a clear and succinct lesson regarding Christianity.
It became clear to me that it was unique by observation, contemplation and deduction, especially during my travels around the world, primarily my ten years in Asia. I never could put my finger on it though.
I’ve been in and out of churches, starting in a Catholic family; mostly out. Enthralled by Buddhism and its trappings for much of the time I made pilgrimages to hundreds of those temples…
The good thing is that it kept God in focus for me most of the time even though Jesus seemed to be out of the picture.
Now I feel more at peace than ever from this simple yet profound lecture as I was recently told my neck cancer has spread to my lungs and is terminal.
Immunotherapy starts next week and is supposed to get me more time.
Either way, we’re all on the same train, just different stops.
Peace and love to you all, and fear not.
Nice to see such videos to deepen the faith of those who think that Christianity is losing ground. Keep it up guys
John Lennox is a professor of Maths at Cambridge. A brilliant man, who I could listen to for hours. He is so clear headed.
he is also a liar ask me why he says Adam was first human made in bible NOT TRUE GOO seeker read 6th day again then come back i could explain but IT SO SIMPLE o use King James bible
@@ashwayn He never mentioned Adam. That makes you the liar. Now let us review the 6th day according to Genesis in the KJV (TL;DR: As we can see, you lied twice in one comment):
Genesis 1:23-31
[23] *And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.*
[24]And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
[25]And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
[28]And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
[29]And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30]And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[31]And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. *And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.*
Love the way how God showed his love for us even when we were sinners thru Christ Jesus
Like kids dying of cancer?
Wonderfully said Mr. John Lennox, and wonderfully dissection as well from daily dose of wisdom
Thank you and God bless you ❤
This warms and softens my heart man, so well said. Both yours and Lennox's words were so good
There aren't different types of Christians.
Christianity isn't a branch of different religions/denominations.
Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Methodists, Orthodoxes, etc... ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.
*There aren't different ways to Heaven, there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.*
These fake religions have beliefs, teachings, ideologies, rules, and traditions THAT ARE NOT IN THE BIBLE.
If you practise something in your religion that you can't find anywhere in the Bible, you are not a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ).
These videos are helping me so much! Thank you
Sooo good brother! Love your channel 🙏🏼
Wonderful explanation and analogy, I was trying to explain this to someone last night, so this really helps me to go back and tell her and others more! Thank you🙏😇
the TV series The Chosen had helped my husband and I dramatically as far as seeing the bible and the disciples as not just a book, but real people. For us, God used the show to bring us back to his word and we've remained in it daily and started reading with our kids. I recommend giving the series a chance if you havent !
Please read the bible. That show is heresy.
@@jillsmith1134
She literally said the show brought her back to his word.
God uses all kinds of things to bring people to him. Stop getting caught up on the TV show and get captivated by how God shepherds his flock!
True but learn about the sacred tradition also. This will lead you to true faith which many in the world reject. God Bless!!
@@jillsmith1134
This video brought me to tears and was a powerful reminder that there is nothing that we can do to win over the heart of God. Simply believing and putting our trust in Jesus Christ is all we need to experience real and authentic joy, peace, understanding, forgiveness, and relationship than anything else this world has to offer. When we try to make the Christian faith so complex we lose sight of the real simplicity in that while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. I am blessed to call Jesus my personal Lord and Savior and get the privilege and opportunity to seek Him out each and every day that God has blessed me with on this side of eternity. Thank you for these videos Brandon as they truly are a source of daily wisdom, understanding, and joy. May God bless you through this ministry!
This was edifying and beautiful in simplification. Thanks! I for one am tired of looking for a church.
I recently found you brother, and I think you are my new favorite RUclips channel! May Yahshua guide you into teaching others about Christ almighty!
Always a pleasure to listen to John...😊👌👍
@8:24 So True! I wish everyone could hear and understand this. Wonderful video.
Such a great video!!
Thank you ❤
Really good for sharing with family and friends that always ask how all religions can possibly be wrong and only Christianity is correct.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! 😊
“ I don’t do this to earn Gods acceptance, I do them bc I’ve already got it” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Verse of the millennium
God does accept but does this "I do them bc I’ve already got it" mean God accepted everyone alread? even a murderer, a terrorist, a rapist or a child abuser or a thief or something like that? if God already accepted everyone then people would not grow themselves to be good. it has to be done for God's acceptance otherwise you will not improve or correct yourself because God accepted you already as you are.. doesn't this make sense?
Which "Christianity" is this video recommending?
@@gaarakazekage8630 God accepts those who confess their sins and confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that Jesus was and is who he says he is and did what he said he would do 2,000 years ago on that cross and rise again on the 3rd day. And I’d be careful bringing up rapist and murders and all these other evil acts and people as if you ( and me ) aren’t a part of the evil problem. Idk you but I’m sure you’ve lied before, maybe stole when you were a kid, I’m sure you’ve cursed, and I’m sure you’ve cheated in some sense. Now would I be right or wrong for calling you a lying, cheating, blasphemous, thief ?? But see how you can still ask for forgiveness and get accepted ? Same for those other people you mentioned. We are all part of the problem of evil that’s why we need Jesus.
@@dougy6237 the kind that follows Jesus Christ fully. The kind that has Jesus Christ as Lord of the whole world . The one that has Jesus Christ dying on the cross like he said he would and rising again in 3 days like he said he would. The one with the most sold books of all time and the one that’s the most historically accurate one of all time and the one that says Jesus is coming back again. That ones
@@Gtalktv I agree and you may not agree to this but I or you dont need Jesus (pbuh) i need his Lord (All praise to be Him).
Great videos, great channel thank you very much for sharing, and your knowledge, Praise His Holy Name, God Bless you Brother
Excellent! Thank you for sharing ❤. 🇬🇧
Subscribing! Thank you for these videos. I pray for solid biblical knowledge about Christianity so that I can defend the hope that lies within me 🙏🏾
John Lennox is absolutely one of the best. Love,love,love him💯✝️💞
given the comments I read here it looks like more Christian propaganda snake oil.
@@Stonemojo1If it's propaganda why waste your time watching it? Seems you're really drawn to propaganda
@@DBJ17TheBoSSs
To know what I'm talking about, it's not controversial.
Just like a an atheist I need to know the Bible better then a Bible believer if I'm going to argue a valid coherent point.
@@DBJ17TheBoSSs
that's like asking me
"Why do you waste time talking to idiots on the internet?".
it's my time to waste and anything you like doing isn't a waste of time.
your videos are really good, and simple to follow... you've gained a new sub!!
In my heart, I know this to be true. I’ve learned that over the years. However to have it explain so beautifully and so perfectly is just wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! What an amazing description of how Christianity is different than any other religion. John Lennox is such a treasure!
I prefer John Lennon.
but Christianity isn't different from every other religion, You all sell snake oil, you all push faith and a holy book and you all claim there is a God.....
Mr. Lennox is a very likeable person and I enjoy listening to him. However, it's best when he sticks to the science area of believing in God and The Bible.
He said regarding Jesus saying: "...that if we listen to him and accept his word and believed on him as the savior as the son of God, we would have in that moment eternal life and we would not come into judgement..." is why he should not teach matters spiritual of God or Jesus or the apostles. Because, if Lennox's interpretations were true, and additionally that good works "are not the basis of acceptance," there would have been absolutely no need for any followers of Jesus and True Christians of the first (and somewhat into the second) century AD to have kept teaching and preaching Gods good news at the risk of losing their jobs, going to prison, to be beaten and whipped, tortured and murdered, all described in The Bible and in academic/secular writings, if works were not Needed. "Faith without works is useless" and "faith without works is dead" and "Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:20; 2:26; 2:18). Too many of you intentionally ignore Gods words for the sake of your traditions, because your traditions benefit and suit you better, and not Gods word.
@@markuse3472Works are indeed needed, but it is not a means of salvation but as a RESPONSE to accepting salvation. That is why James said that Faith without works is dead. One can talk the talk, but if he cant walk the walk, his talk is meaningless. Works is intended OUTCOME of grace
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible? peace.
My first step to learning faith started in college, when I started really nervous in a TT match. But once I started hitting my shots more and more and play the way I wanted, that's when I learned what real confidence was about. Basically, you don't just believe, and that you had to work to build it.
Sometime after, I learned about trust for children multiple times. How it is important to fulfill their needs. The message is very clear. These things need something of substance for them to be based on.
Then after watching JBP and several other videos with people testifying that science actually supports Christianity, and other pieces of knowledge falling into place, that's when I finally pieced it together. Trust and confidence are built. Shouldn't faith be the same? That's the only way it would make sense.
And then there's also looking up the origins of the relevant words, and boy were they linked. Definitely, faith should not be blind.
@JiraiyaSama86 - Saving Faith is not learned! Saving Faith is a gift of God! For we do not believe through our own faith mustered within ourselves. No, that faith is simply never strong enough! Ephesians 2:8-9 says this: For it is by grace that ye are saved, through faith, but this not of yourselves it is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast. Then Galatians 2:20 says this: For I am crucified with Christ, yet I live, but not I that lives it is Christ who lives within me, and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith of the Son of God; Who loves me and gave His life for me. " Faith Of " KJV - Correct, " faith in " incorrect, almost all other translations or Satan at work.
Then Christ Himself goes as far as to pray this in John 17:20-21 - Christ prays: " I do not pray for these alone, but also for those that come to know Me by their word, that they all might be one, even as Thou Father art in Me and I in Thee, that they also might be in US, so that the world might believe that Thou didst send Me. "
God has started to place everything one by one into a moseic for me that I can barely even start to comprehend and the beauty is so emence that I wondered if I was losing my mind. Thanks for sharing and may the LORD bless you and make clear your beautiful unique path that all start at the same point of expectance of Christ and become it's own unique monocular partical of the body of Christ. 🙏✝️👑
Only a complete sicko worships a deity that drowns millions of babies
2:09 that is an awesome side note that he gives about John as a writer.
Never thought of it that way myself.
Beautiful..Beautiful and Beautiful keep it up Brother. God bless you. 🙏
Beautifully explained, praise the Lord ✝️🕊️💓
