Guy's thank you so much for this!!! Infeasible talk
The Daily Wire Ben you keep flirting with Christianity... maybe soon you can take off ur little hat! Besides, Ravi needs it much worse than you for his bald spot!!
(Just kidding, love you and this series!)
Bring on Banana Man Ray Comfort
I can't believe this is happening in my life. I was born in the best time. Blessed be Hashem!
How about interviewing Richard Carrier
The greatest that ever lived; He had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet Kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He had no crime, yet they crucified Him. He had no need, yet He forgave them as they mocked. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. His name is Jesus Christ and He is the Saviour of the world.
@Paula Wallace pls read Isa 53. Who do you think it's speaking about? God bless you
Amen jrgn Dthtns
@Paula Wallace men are the persecutors of this world. Jesus Christ was never an oppressor. Rather he was crucified for his many miracles and the religious leaders of Israel feared a paradigm shift. Torah and Tanakh are prophecies of the messiah. We know who the messiah is, he is Yeshua. Jesus Christ of Nazareth who’s blood was shed as the final atonement for the sin of the entire world. I was an atheist 5 years ago, until I had an encounter with God the father. He sent me to Sheol, there I was tortured and mutilated by five demons. It felt like I was there forever, when there was nothing left of my body it came back together and they tortured me all over again. It wasn’t until I screamed the name of Jesus Christ and begged to be saved from this horrible place that these demons literally jumped away from me and Jesus literally pulled me out of that awful place. I never saw the world the same way since.
Wow!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Awesome!!!!!
YES!
IVE BEEN RECOMMENDING HIM FOREVER!
Thank Ben!
Affirmative I said the same thing when John Carpenter was on here which put me to sleep.
Same!! Love Ravi!!
Lucas Pattison thank you for recommending him. I only discovered him a week ago and my RUclips played for 2 hours nonstop.
Good choice.
Yeah, I liked the video before I saw it lol.
This dude is something else. The way he speaks carries this undeniable sense of wisdom, gentleness, humility, and genuine care for the person he’s addressing (in this case Ben).
He's like Christian Yoda
@EMP C
As Jesus said,
Luke 6:22-23
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
His genuine care for Ben, and his subtle sharing of the gospel reminded me of when John MacArthur was on. I loved that interview too.
What a beautiful, intellectual man Ravi is, from Toronto
@@Nummey Chennai! 8]
"the guest most requested by audience" - i'm glad to hear that...
ravi is loved and respected
Rubin report said the exact same thing people are hungry for this knowledge
So good that cease the opportunity before his departure💖📖👏
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!

Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God!
Jesus has a God!
Jesus died!
God can’t die!
God raised Jesus from the dead!
I like how Ben let him speak uninterrupted
John Demchuk I agree. Ben has really respectable dialogue.
Yes! I love this format! I could listen for hours!
Now Ben is in trouble.
The Holy Spirit of God talk to Him through Ravi. Ben Only two things accept or reject Jesus. That is the great business Of the Holy Spirit of God, then other things just follow.
Ben was on the edge of his seat the whole time.
People only interrupt when they are not sure of there beliefs. Hense,,atheists
Ravi Zacharias spoke at my university last year. God bless the man!
I had to pause. He packs so much information in a short time that I feel like I should be taking notes. I love how organized his thoughts are.
@@botoxbeanie2927 I know. I had to keep stopping the vid and replaying certain parts. So much info. So much wisdom with love...by both parties.
Did he trigger anyone?
@@botoxbeanie2927 ..
Same thing for me.
He didn’t rape you, did he?
I want to hear the conversation between Ravi and Jordan Peterson........please let's make it happen
As cool as that would/should be, they are both too long-winded for it work well.
I feel like it would be a strange conversation, primarily centered around defining terms and concepts. I think that Ravi would drop a resurrection case on Peterson and it would get real from there.
I thought that the first time I hear Jordan (I knew of Ravi prior) I would love love love it as well; your point is well taken so I think a good moderator would be best :-)
Sounds like sophistry overload.
I think just an exchange of ideas between them would be the best course to follow and we could instantly compare both of their philosophies and also analyze each other's differences.
Praise God he is no longer in pain. Praise God that he has entered into the joy of his master.
@Mad Dog Avraham one less guy your gonna regret not listening too cause u can't accept logic like the SJW. Logic dosen't care about your feelings !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Mad Dog Avraham well u dont need to go hating on christianity whatever u believe to be true ull find out in death. But till then dont simply deny things without evidence like a fool disprove them with facts or else dont speak negativity . I wanna recommend a channel for you to watch till then he goes by the name Todd White he goes healing in the name of Jesus even in israel changing their minds through these miracles.
Great for him, and i am truely jealous, but I would have loved for him to have a conversation with JBPeterson
@@g.j.arends5891 that would be amazing
@Mad Dog Avraham Do you guys not believe in Jesus? What about the books written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? I'm genuinely curious.
Okay, I have to say this: Ravi Zacharias looks really good for being 73 years old.
I've met him a couple of times. He's a truly remarkable human being.
He does especially since he has been through so much pain in his life. You would have thought those things would have aged him more.
Must be because he’s close to god? 🤔
@Joshua Chavez shocking indeed, never would have guessed
John Lennox, next please....😭😭😭
Ravi Zacharias and Jordan Peterson would be a really good dialog.
@@judystafford2176 Peterson is a fine secular scholar and thinker. But he's as dumb as the guy next door when it comes to religious discussion. PS: I'm a fan of JP, and I've read his work, 12 Rules of life.
@@cyrusademola1326 The dialog would be for Jordan Peterson's benefit.
Yes! I love that guy! So smart and humble!
Love Lennox and Peterson . I think Jordan has more a less said he believes in Christ lately, i think fame and the constant question he received on the topic has awakened him a bit, you can see it in his latest answers to the question about it. I would love Willam Lane Craig, Jordan Peterson , Ravi and Lennox to have a convo 😂
Thank you Ben ... The Christian community loves Ravi...and you...
THANK YOU! This presentation was a great gift to the soul. I enjoyed my two favorite brains. One day in eternity I hope to enjoy you interviewing Moises and even God. Why not?
@@hoglabermudez447 😂😂
Well he did get to go home before Jesus returns. Rest in paradise Ravi.
Edit: In light of the finished investigation into Ravi's misconduct it puts into serious question Ravi's genuineness. While we are all sinners, he appeared to have no remorse for his consistent sinful behavior and went to great lengths to manipulate those around him. Now my prayers are with all those who have been victimized because of his conduct. I pray that God gives you peace, closure, and the strength to move forward.
Just got to know you after your transition. I am so blessed just listening to RUclips teachings.
Thank you for all that you did.
Enjoy your awesome life eternal.
Hoping to see you when I get there too.
Maranatha!
Mad Dog Avraham And when He does the whole world will see Him coming in the clouds. Yet you can die before than and already be judged, because anyone who does not believe in the Son, does not have eternal life, but is condemned already being we have all done evil against a Holy and perfect God.
@Gustave Try reading John again. Then do it one more time after that.
@Gustave My friend:
It's not only in John. Allow me to explain:
John is clear right from the beginning of his gospel that Jesus is God.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 [a]He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [b]comprehend it." John 1:1-5
These cannot be true of Jesus if he is not God. Jesus was with God IN THE BEGINNING. What does Genesis say?
"Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;" Genesis 1:26.
Jesus was with God in the beginning and he was God. God made us in his and Jesus" likeness because the two are one.
You are correct that Jesus himself often separates himself from God. Why is this? Jesus came to show us humans what the perfect human life looks like and what we are supposed to measure up to. Even though he was God he had to humble himself for our sake so he could show us how we are to act.
"Have this attitude [e]in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be [f]grasped, 7 but [g]emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death [h]on a cross." Philippians 2:5-8
Jesus also makes 7 I AM statements in the gospel of John. 7 is God's number and obviously Jesus new full well using I AM was referring back to when God revealed himself to Moses.
Christians have believed Jesus to be God from the beginning of Christianity. It is not paganism. It is biblical and that is why the vast majority of denominations that claim to be Christian believe in the Trinity.
Mad Dog Avraham
Words of Christ to you ..
“And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life .. Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
I love how Ben is bringing big Christian people on. Much respect Ben. I would like to see John Lennox on someday.
Love John Lennox!
he's not been well and not getting around much these days. keep him in prayer
I completely agree. I pray that this exposure to these dynamic Christian teachers will soften Ben's heart to accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I also like the fact he isnt attacking him to tear him down. Its about learning and asking, not the kind of garbage usually thrown at guests. Other kind of interviews like "so youre saying..." that JB Peterson faced, such a bitter woman interviewer come to mind. This kind of interivew ppl want to watch and listen to content, but most others are so offensive.
Usually when someone speaks on and on and on, i get bored and annoyed. When Ravi speaks on and on and on, I want to hear him even more.
Yes. there's substance to what Ravi communicates, but more than that, he sprinkles his words with wisdom and humility. ♡💖
I had a very wise teacher from India as student at U.T. Austin in 1982. Every word coming from his mouth was mesmerizing. He studied under Mahatma Ghandi as a youth. Upon dismissal, most students simply stayed in their seats wanting more! His lectures were just SO, SO intriguing!
Dr. Ram Joshi was like the Pied Piper of teaching. He was always followed by a pack of young people around campus. Great speaker and truly cared for young kids.
See rzim on yourube. Years of amazing speeches and q & a @ colleges...
No, I still get bored and annoyed. Ravi just likes to hear himself. No thanks.
Cool

Mad Dog Avraham ruclips.net/video/QNGLZvtRoiU/видео.html
Mad Dog Avraham As Christian we don’t have the power to “convert” a Jew, we just tell them the Truth and God will do the work in them. I say that with love and understanding.Try to Read Isaiah 53. Have a great day!
"by me"... .... I think it is "by me" rather than "through me"... Correct me if im wrong.
Mad Dog Avraham God bless you brother, read Isaiah 9:6
This text tells us that the Messiah would be divine and had to be none other than God Himself
Omg this is a dream come true🤩
Elijah Elam mine too haha
Elijah Elam Right? Lol I was like, “whaaaaat?”
It's that dream I never knew I had, but instantly recognized upon seeing the RUclips video.
This was definitely one of those instant clicks for me.
ikr
If Ben Shapiro gets saved, atheists are in big trouble! 😆
He’ll be like another Paul. (Except for the part of persecuting the church lol) he be on the front lines of this spiritual warfare
dont delude yourself...
Paula Wallace please prayerfully read Isaiah 53.
“1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” Isa53.1-12
Paula Wallace also, please read Psalm 22 with a prayerful heart.
““My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; "He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!" Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother's breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me; they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet- I can count all my bones- they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog! Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen! I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you: You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel! For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him. The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it.”
Psalms 22:1-31
@Paula Wallace For you and for Christians... Knowing how to read and what the Bible says doesn't give you a relationship with God, just as when you read Ben's book doesn't make you Ben's friend... Jesus predicted His death and resurrection, historical FACT! and He says: John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. I pray that you may come to have fellowship with Him because He is THE WAY TO OUR FATHER!
Jesus Christ is longing for you...
Galatians 1:14 "I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers." Just like Paul, your zeal is for the traditions of your ancestors, and those traditions ARE NOT GOD!

If not for him, and a speech he gave at princeton university few yes ago. It was posted by someone on RUclips. Had I not seen that 1 video in February of this year, I wouldn't be here now... alive..... thing is, I didn't know what an apologist was? I nvr heard or Dr. Ravi Zacharias before, but one bad night god placed that video on my home page to watch for a reason. I miss him dearly and wished I could at least maybe be blessed enough to hear him speak live, or that I would find the courage to write him and say ty! I waited too long, missed my chance to act. Pray i will be blessed enough to have my name in the lambs book of life & see him and our wonderful, merciful creator! God bless you all.....

i'm disappointed.. this should have been 2 hours.. lol
@@TasX Good imitation!
I like your surname! 😊
Ravi Zacharias is the man! I can listen to this man talk all day and night until I'm 80 years old.
Why not until you die, why 80 years old?
@@jaysaviod9581 Because after 50 years I'll probably want to change the channel.
Yeah if they turn up his microphone 😐
Are you 79? Lol. I could listen as much also!
after you’re 80 you’ll be listening to Don Lemmon Jr.
“America talks a lot about rights, but we have not yet defined what is right.”
Perfectly put. Ravi gets to the roots.
Because, to define something is to box it in. You cannot define rights because they change. Slavery was once considered a right. Society negotiates rights and codifies them into law.
To Horton we know what is right and wrong even the ones with the most seared heart....God lays it on each one of are heart we just decide to ignore it or abide to it.
And to Miller on slavery it was never ok in Gods eyes it was how man twisted it, we took servanthood and twisted it into slavery, 2 very diffrent things.....
@@michaelbetancourt1976 Sorry, but it was clearly okay in Exodus 21. "...purchase your slaves from the heathen around you." A Hebrew is permitted to beat their slave without punishment as long as the slave did not die in a couple of days. The OT certainly permits the worst type of slavery. Christians cannot dodge this; it clearly says what it says and the context is clear when you read the entire chapter and book. This was chattel slavery and every Bible commentary and OT scholar admits this.
@@vilicus77 Exudus 21. From v.2-11 talks about Hebrew servants. It clearly says in v.2" if you buy a Hebrew servant." V 12-36 talks about Personal injuries. V 12. It Clearly says." Anyone who strikes a Person with a fatal blow is to be put to death. Stop twisting the bible around for your own convenience to match your idiotic point of view on Christians. The Hebrews were to treat their slaves well because God told them to remember that they were slaves in Egypt once. OT permits the worst type of slavery??? Have you forgotten what the white people did to African Americans even after slavery was "abolished". Smh.. what is clear is that you probably got that misinformation from an atheist and believed the nonsense. Do your own research before spewing diarrhea of the mouth.
@@vilicus77 moral rightness is immutable and objective.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8-38-39
Didn’t realize how much I needed to hear this discussion until I started listening. My spirit was deeply moved to hear a Christian perspective that wasn’t blunted by politics.
You should listen to some of his many presentations at universities like Princeton and others. They are very good and reveal so much about logical thought and the Christian faith. Ravi is the unofficial spokesman for the Protestant Church today. Godspeed.
@@FistieSplinters He's a pretty good apologist but definitely not the spokesperson for Protestants.
Faith ... is about believer
@Trevo Studen The Gospel of Jesus Christ. What is the Gospel? Its that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, and that He rose again on the 3rd day according to the scriptures. (1 Cor 15:1-4)
The Bible is the only book and religion in the world that actually offers hard core, undeniable evidence and facts that its REAL, through the OT prophets and the things and event that have already happened surrounding Israle, Jesus and the Church 2000 years ago, even modern Israel's return as a nation in 1948. All these thing were predicted in specific details centuries before any of it came to pass in the OT. We know these things happened because secular historians agree they happened, and we know they were written beforehand because we have thousands of copies of the OT that predate Christ and the key events by multiple centuries.

i literally had to pause every five minutes cos my brain almost over heated in trying to absorb this overwhelming knowledge coming from Ravi Zacharias..
Bengee Kwame Adjei Believe me, you're not alone when it comes to brains overheating! 😁
Ravi has definitely been blessed in the gift of speech and knowledge
Knowledge of language yes
Me too!!! And I might have to listen to it again to take notes!!!
same here....
this did not age well, hope ben or the daily wire share their thoughts on this
I'd dare say, take it down. I'm utterly repulsed.
I wouldn’t expect the Daily Wire to comment on anything that doesn’t fit their narrative lmao
So sad, I can't even wrap my head around the whole situation...
why??
@@Tristan.McKnight why is it sad?

😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂I couldn't believe that he slit an Ad right next to that very deep question lol!
Hahaha
I know right! That felt so weird.
🤣
This conversation is the epitome of what educated, informed, civil discourse is about. As good an interview of Ravi as one could get. I would recommend this highly to people who are genuinely searching for truth.
Michael Babbitt
Definitely!
This was one of the best guests Ben has had on. I had no idea who he was but the second he started speaking I knew something was there. Captivating eloquent speaker which gave me some things to ponder.
You can find tons of videos on RUclips of Ravi speaking and debating. I highly recommend watching them! And reading his books, too
I thought the same thing. I’m blown away by the warmth of this guy
Check out his ministry and app RZIM...
He is so eloquent I could eat his words and sentences and I know they'd be delicious.
Saw Ravi live in Savannah GA back in October. He has his speaking schedule on his website.
There are flawed heroes and amazingly gifted unrepented sinners.
With great sadness, I see Zacharias in the latter category.
Shame on me for making an idol out of a human.
yes, many Christians sadly turned to him and others like him instead of God for answers, hope his victims find peace
I would really love it if Ben also has Professor John Lennox on his show, I really think it would be a great dialogue just like it was here with Ravi.
I think he would be even better due to his background. He has very interesting insights to offer to atheistic arguments.
this would be great!
He's dealing with ailments and not getting around like he used to. Keep him in prayer!
i'm a very arrogant person. when highly intelligent people speak, i usually think i'm smarter than them. when ravi speaks, i think, 'that man is smarter than me, wiser than me, and more humble than me.'
So true.
Then there's another person you should listen to in that case, who Ravi learned all his wisdom from, named Jesus.
dan lauing ii Bro Ravi is the last person you should regard as smart and humble. He’s an academic fraud and liar. And even on the subject he speaks about most (philosophy of religion), he’s incredibly and painfully shallow.
Vanna In I mean if you think he’s deep then fine. It just tells me you haven’t actually interacted with any good literature in philosophy of religion.
hey dan humility is the fruit of our faith in god , many years ago i was arrogant ,

I’m an electrical engineer, after 3 years in the field, your statement barley scratches the surface.... I know very few engineers that are atheist
3 years? Congrats, that’s a long time... not sure what your response intended in purpose. Of course The Light as a description barely scratched the surface, if at all... but I wasn’t trying to write sermon. 😁
Christ is the light of your soul, humanity, the world, the heavens, grace, love, guide to rebirth in spirit, the Kingdom within, Elohim, God, The All, Yeshua, The Creator, The Light.
Maybe I scratched it this time ✌️❤️🙏
Parker Parker -
I agree with you.
I wanted to add that the word ‘light’ was a fascinating choice for the writers to use. Truly Devine. What is light? Who / why was it created. The chances that light happened by accident-inconceivable. All of the discoverable ‘laws’ of physics needed to be set in motion for light to be possible.
The flow of electrical current helped me understand that ‘I’ / we are nothing... The distance between the electron and the nucleus is so massive (like a marble on the 50 yard line and outer stadium lights will begin the electron cloud).
So what is this desk, the car, this earth? There’s more of nothing than of something. What holds us together?
Also, what is the identifier i.e. IP address (the soul). It makes you, you and me, me. Powered by a spirit (Greek used pneuma).
Truly fascinating.
Mad respect, my brother. Vibrations, split an atom and I am there.
Johns Town Yes matter is basically a bunch of “nothing.” We keep discovering smaller and smaller particles- quarks, sub-quarks, higgs boson... in my mind it is just the image of God’s spoken word, not exactly fake, but much less real than things eternal...
You know you’ve watched too much of Ravi Zacharias when you know what he will say. But still, his points always give me further enlightenment I need
Nah, that means you've listened to him almost enough, lol.
So mad dog 🤨
How is a person justified before
Your GOD?
@@philisaakak
You should of asked him how he is justified before God.
Watch from 18:35
Intellect and wisdom are great sister, keep striving for such gifts! However, in the end it's not about wisdom and intellectual ability, it's about redemption.
@Mad Dog Avraham wow, such good language. Did your god teach you that? 😂
When Ravi said his family was writing in to ask Ben to interview him , I can't help but think he meant his brothers and sisters in Christ. :)God bless
Wow♡♡♡
I thought exactly the same thing 🙂
Nice!
@Slavic Soldier lol.we Indians have only 1 sibling.maybe 50 years back they had like 4-5 siblings. Only u Americans have like 5 children
Jafia Gracelin Lmao 😂 the birth rate in the United States is going down. It’s usually 2 kids for each household.
Ben, you hit it out of the park once more. Fantastic dialogue between two men I deeply admire and respect. Please have Dr. Ravi back and soon!!
Interviewing both Dr. Ravi and Thomas Sowell together will be awesome!!
MrGetWellSoon you must be extremely stupid and uneducated.
@@rrjkss3992 someone spike your coffee madame?
@@MrGetwellsooninterviewing them together? They are indeed great thinkers but of such vastly different backgrounds
Thomas Sowell is an economist, concerned w social theory. In contrast, Ravi is a Christian apologist. A defender of the faith ...
Corance Chandler nope you’re just to stupid to understand fact and are unable to think for yourself disobedient you believe what dishonest pathological liars like Ravi claim.
John Mac and now Ravi wow! Thank you Ben and Daily Wire! Prof. John Lennox too please :)
William lane craig was here
Tim keller would be awesome here
@@unclebrayn Duuuuuddeeee.....👌
I want Tim Keller! 😊
I Agree that Tim Keller would be great as well! His way of respectable, yet stimulating conversation with others is really similar to Ravi’s way of conversation here.

this did not age well
Ravi is such a nice intelligent man. I love listening to him.
He has a very calming and soothing voice/presentation.
Yes, that part of how he is able to baffle you with bullshit along with all his cute little intellectual words that anybody who's half studied can see right through.
Yes whenever I hear him speak. I feel that this man is one who God is using strongly...
I like how the majority of the time you see Ben Shapiro‘s videos, he debates and talks, it’s cool seeing him just sit back and watch and listen
Maybe next we can get John Lennox? 🤞
Add to the list, Dr. Os Guinness!
And Dr. David Berlinski, too!
And Michael Ramsden!
@@hendricksam Him, too!
Lennox on science is the best!
Such a terrible terrible shame that the evidence is conclusive that he sexually abused his massage therapists over many years in an ongoing lifestyle of sin, while misusing ministry funds as hush money. The RZIM RUclips channel has removed almost every video of his from their channel. This video should also be removed from this channel.
Amen 🙏
Agreed
No. Ben is not a religious hypocrite. Free speech and truth are sacred. You learn from facts...not try to white wash lies to appear "perfect".
So sad to hear what he did behind closed doors. However, we should remember the age-old phrase 'do as I say, not as I do'. His actions do not discount all the amazing things he said.
RZIM may remove videos where they had promoted him from their organization. That is not a reason to scrub the internet of videos or talks by him. There is a vast difference between withdrawing support and destroying documentation of events or persons once they fall out of favor. History needs documentation of all things in history. We are not the Taliban. You can have no useful discussions or analyses of things that are scrubbed or destroyed. Analyzing how he did not live up to the ideals of Christianity is useful.
At last! 😁
Edit: I have never clicked on a RUclips notification as fast as I did for this video. And reading the comments, all on the affirmative. So many people like me waiting for this to happen and it finally did, at last! Praise God! 🙏
Yes. Very eloquent discourse. Currently having another go at it on the bus on my way to work. Replay value is just amazing! May God bless them both!
I love ravi, his show at 5pm on the Christian radio made me a christian
Awww yyyaaaayyys
Amen brother!
Would love to know that testimony my friend. What a cool way to find Christ
Amen!
d yea man, you should share your testimony. That’s awesome!
I'm going through and liking every comment that suggests John Lennox
I love him
Ya, he's a mathematician.
And authored several books.
Yes! Go for John!
That nigga's still alive? I remember seeing him destroy Hitchens in a debate.
Wondering whether he's actually saved or not.
We don't know. All we can do now is mourn what we thought he was and pray for his victims. God willing, he repented--even though his sins were so great and I feel sickened hearing about them, everyone can have Christ's forgiveness when they repent.
Definitely not. Jesus loves you
@@seriouslyiknowhowtoread ooof I couldn’t begin to go on about how wrong that comment is.
@@seriouslyiknowhowtoread I mean what we think and we’ll I couldn’t speak for everyone but generally speaking Christianity doesn’t teach that the ten commandments were meant for salvation. It was meant to show Gods standards for Holiness and to be used as a mirror reflecting how sinful we all are and how desperate we are in need of a savior.
@@seriouslyiknowhowtoread dummies condemn people to hell. I don’t know who would think they had the authority to do such foolishness but nonetheless people do it.
Yes!!!! Finally, Ravi Zacharias! I just need 1/4 of his brain...I'll be satisfied. 😁
That's what Ben is- 1/4 of Ravi's brain
Dwayne Sanders right?! One of the very smartest men I have ever heard.
Eww...you don't want to eat it, do you?
Same!
Just practice your sophistry and you'll be able to present arguments just like Ravi.
I don't watch 1 hr RUclips videos. I am absolutely watching this one.
Ben waiting for this forever! Still praying for Ben Shapiro. I still have hope.
I pray for Ben to answer His knock at the door, in Christ’s name. Amen.
Amen!
@Gavriel Bermudez
Why did they call Ravi a "cultural apologist". He is a Christian apologist. They put "Judeo/Christian values".... not really, Jewish values are not Christian ones. Jesus as God takes you in a different direction then Jesus as the worst false prophet in history..... think about it. Ben manipulating that massively.
Gabriel Bermudez When I read the ending of 1 Corinthians 13, “And now abides faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love,” I learned that in performing intercessory prayer for others, that I build upon these three. My FAITH in His eternal Word, knowing that His desire is that we all come to repentance.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.“
My HOPE is for all of us to realize how precious each of us are to the Most High, and to LOVE the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength, and to LOVE our neighbors as we love ourselves.
1 John 4:7-8
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
Pray that the desire to seek out God will grow in every heart, and that this desire will culminate in developing a personal relationship with Jesus.
2 Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us to us...
Matthew 5:43-48
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
How many Christian Theologians does it take to convert Ben Shapiro?
I don’t think you guys get the point. Ben isn’t converting to Christianity!!!
The only reason why he doesn’t have rabbis come on with counter-arguments is that over 90% of his fan base is Christian and nobody would care.
If you want to know why we Jews don’t believe in Jesus check out Rabbi Tovia Singer or JewsforJudaism
"Respecting the right of another be wrong does not make wrong right", Ravi Zacharias.
@Ravi_quotes
You're loved, and precious. Thanks for existing, Jesus loves you unconditionally.
Isaiah 43:2
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
@Mad Dog Avraham
Hey, I hope it doesn't seem like I'm butting in. I just wanted to suggest a video: ruclips.net/video/ynnjGKwVTjg/видео.html
And since links can be kinda iffy, the name of the video is "The 3 reasons why Jews don't believe in Jesus & Israel Evangelism report (by Eiton Bar)".
Now, I know by the title it sounds like I'm trying to tell you why you yourself don't believe Jesus is the Messiah, which would be pretty dumb of me. The RUclips channel (One For Israel) has many videos made for Jewish people, both in English and Hebrew. It's just that this video which I'm linking was the first I watched, and I couldn't pick one in particular which covered as wide a range of topics regarding arguments against Jesus. So, even though Eiton Bar is largely addressing (what I assume is) a Christian church, please watch with a relatively open mind. I'd start at around 6 minutes 50 seconds into the video, since before that he's just explaining what his group does.
... Anyways, if you don't want to check it out, let me know if you'd still like to have a conversation about this.
A lot of Christians don't seem to or don't show it, but I truly believe there are those of us who want Israel to hear the gospel because we care about God's people. Since we have met God through His Son, and come to love the same Father you do, we want to share how we got there... maybe that's going too far already, but that's about the gist of it.
Thank you for having Ravi as your guest!
Ravi and John Lennox are two of my favorite apologists! Like Ravi, Lennox has also had some epic K.O.'s against academic giants. It's pretty cool that one of his professors was C. S. Lewis! It would be beyond amazing if he could get Professor Lennox on here!
he John macarthur
barton havens actually that’s something I’ve been wondering. How will John MacArthur respond to Ravi Zacharias? They do fundamentally disagree on some Christian doctrines really hard.
I like seen Ben Shapiro have John MacArthur back to discuss the deity of Christ Jesus against Jewish interuptation no better to explain
If you think Zacharias cares at all about "K.Oing" academic heavyweights, you don't understand his heart at all.
I don't seen the important on King Jame only issue I think that people who focus on it a blind by who god is who his words original script was in Hebrew and Coinage Greek this was the original place of text of script yet because the fact that we start translation it in to English and other language it was able advance are own language by tried translation it to English and other languages. in this way God word gave us so much modern language when it translated.
John Lennox would be a really great next Christian scholar to talk to!
And Abdu Murray!

This guy out here talking about accountability...
Hahaha
I have never felt so deceived before in my life.
Lol
Accountability would have rather ironically been the perfect sermon for him to HEAR - not merely to give to others. In fact he would have gained from an entire sermon series on accountability himself. Perhaps 10 hours could've been the length he might have needed on the topic.
The death row story left me truly speechless; I've seen no greater testament to the power of God in recent memory.
Whenever intellectuals talk down on the Christian worldview I'm going to point them torwards Ravi Zacharias. If you still think all Christians are fools after that I can't help you.
Paula Wallace How so?
@Paula Wallace Yeah I'm curious, whatdo you mean by that Paula.
Christians are not necessarily fools, and most decent unbelievers would attest to that. People believe things for good reasons and bad reasons. This applies to everyone. We're ALL susceptible to being wrong or misguided. Most people don't believe things for good reasons, though. They accept what they are taught then defend that using biased techniques they were taught by apologists, editing out what's troublesome and ignoring important questions. The best solution is to ask the hardest questions and be willing to follow them all the way to the actual answer, not the "safe" answer.
Paula Wallace can’t back up your claim can you? It is you that has been lying and purposefully lying to yourself and others.
If your worldview states you are nothing but stardust and descendant from bacteria and related to shower mold and trees, then why were you compelled to make such a spineless comment?
Think about it, if your worldview is that of a naturalist and there is nothing and we are all here by chance(even though that chance mathematically states it’s impossible on multiple levels), then you should live in line with your worldview and not care what Christians say yet here you are in direct contradiction from your worldview.
Strange that atheists get angry and emotional and feel compelled to make spineless foolish claims that there is no God. Think about how that contradicts their claim. If they say God doesn’t exist, then why do they go out of their way and get emotional over “nothing?” Because deep down they are simply angry at God, and manifests this foolish looking contradicting behavior. Weird they make a bunch of noise over their initial claim that there is “no God.” This is why God in the Bible says those that deny His existence are “fools.”
Atheists have no objective moral standard yet they try to make moral judgements towards God and Christians and care when sinful people rob steal rape murder and genocide, when a true atheistic naturalist should not care because according to them this is all by chance and means nothing, but atheists never are consistent and must borrow morality from God.
@Paula Wallace how do you know they are deceived? Alot of people argues even in the selection of a toothpaste. What is the best toothpaste? And how would you know it is indeed the best?
Ben is such a respectful interviewer. Give the guest so much space to bring their view. I also love that Ravi read Bens whole book prior to coming on his show!
James Hoffman what is the name of Ben’s book ?
syndif the right side of history
He argues in it about how judeo-christian values and greek reason made the west great.
Though i find the term Judeo-christian values to be an oxymoron
Abdou Sidi Ibrahim thank you.
Hes not driving home Jesus. As usual he tailored his message to not offend and not lead Ben to the true salvation of Jesus. Ecumenical through and through.
@@secretaryblinken1524 Why do you think/feel that the term Judeo-Christian in an oxymoron?
When Ravi responds: he has a story, asks a question, says what the answer is and explains the way of thinking and reasoning, gives the why, answers the question, and concludes. It’s truly a poetic way of thinking and talking
amen
I wish we could all learn to discuss like that.
The sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a superstitious God who values blood sacrifice. It’s obvious that the superstitious early folks who valued blood sacrifice created the God of The Bible in their own image.
@@kddd8234 Christian writers created the resurrection hoax by making up a fake empty tomb story & fake eyewitnesses/testimonials, but didn’t realize the sin-sacrifice-resurrection implies a superstitious God who values blood-sacrifice, which was a common practice back then - e.g. sacrificing a goat for a new home. Superstitious early folks who valued blood sacrifice created the God of the Bible in their own image.
@@kddd8234 Is the God of The Bible a hypocrite? Or, did the delusional confused hypocrites make up an imaginary God of The Bible? The same Bible that teaches "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.", also teaches how to: buy slaves, sell daughters, kill non-virgin brides, kill unruly children, slaughter an entire nation including their infants, enslave children, pass slaves on as inheritance, & beat the slaves so they don't die.
Praying for you Ben! The personal relationship with Jesus Christ is what you're missing in this world!
I'm sure Jesus likes Ben the way he is.
And yet Jesus' very person--which encapsulates his good life, death, and resurrection--compels people like Ben to come to know God through Him. I pray for Ben to come know Jesus the way Jesus wants to be known by everyone. After all, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Him! God bless you all!
@@jesfavor831 Jesus has a good sense of humor. I'm not so sure anyone knows what He actually meant by that and I think claiming understanding is a bit ... brave.
@@starman721 I respect your opinion, but I believe Jesus spoke plainly when he said that; He wasn't speaking in parables. He meant what He said verbatim, no sense of humor necessary. That promise after all touches on the very core of His existence and deals with our eternal life.

True. I send Ben my prayers for his salvation. I send him viral hugs also. No virus with a viral hug!😷😘
@NateI can reasonably say that God is my last hope for salvation. I look through Christianity, and I just put the word God instead of Jesus, and everything is the same. Take Jesus out of the equation! why have him?
@ Peter Burman you are not different from muslim fanatic judging by your statement
@Paula Wallace Jesus said He is God.
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” John 8:56-58
Now notice that Jesus called Himself, “I am.” This is the same thing that God called Himself in Exodus 3:6 and 14. The Jews understood exactly what Jesus did. Jesus was declaring that He was the God they worshipped - the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And they picked up stones to kill Him (John 8:59) because he had declared that He was God. (www.neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives/question/did-jesus-ever-say-that-he-was-the-son-of-god/)
“I and the Father are one.” The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” (NASB) John 10:30-33
Isaiah 44:6.
Revelation 1:17.
His first line of evidence is to show that the Old Testament claims for God to be The First and The Last. Since scripture claims this is a title for God and Jesus “says” he is the First and the Last then, this proves Jesus is God."
@Nate Jesus is no religion.
"accountability to our Creator" 🙌☝️ this sums up everything !!!

Michael Hatcher Bring James White next 😉
His words were true, yet his actions were not. Jesus knows our hearts and will judge us on them. “Depart from me for I never knew you” you can say all the right things but do you KNOW Him?
We can’t know for sure what is true and not true because we only have one side of the story. We all know Ravi was human and made mistakes and he had sin in his life. But we don’t typically bring dead people into court and convict them. It’s fundamentally unfair to convict and condemn someone for a specific act after they are dead
Hey guys. I took some notes as I listened. Here is what I got from this wonderful conversation.
Ravi:
The thorn in the side of the theistic framework is the problem of evil. Pain. Suffering.
Virtue in distress, vice in triumph has made atheists of mankind. "How could an all good, all knowing God allow suffering, could God really have an adequate reason for the suffering of man?"
One way to face this question is:
Does evil even exist? -yes. If evil exists, there must be a moral law. If there is a moral law there must be a moral law giver. Without God, what basis does morality have?
(the reason an absolute moral law requires a moral law giver is because every time the question of morality is raised it is assumed that human beings have intrinsic value which can't be posed in a universe that is nothing more than meaningless matter interacting through time and space.)
The problem of evil relies on a definition of evil that can only be given in a universe with a God.
There is also the God of the philosophers - the unmoved mover. The absolutely first cause. Nothing happens without a cause but the universe can not be infinite, therefore there must be a very first cause, an unmoved mover.
--------
Ravi:
Origin, morality, meaning, destiny.
You can't have a worldview that doesn’t answer these four questions.
--------
Ben:
This is a richly debated issue in theistic circles
Is there a difference between what is moral and what is sinful?
Ravi:
What has happened in the west is we have tried to keep the morality without the belief there is a moral law giver. We have planted our feet firmly in mid-air.
Morality is good for civil co-existence. But morality can't keep us safe from destruction unless we see people as intrinsically valuable, which requires God.
--------
Ben:
There is a break in right wing political views between the conservative view which values our rights and our duties highly in every political idea, while the libertarian view says let's just allow everybody to do what they will while preserving a few fundamental laws which we all agree on. The more conservative view is criticized for imposing theocracy upon the masses while the libertarian view is criticized for giving people rights without giving them duties.
Ravi:
The question is not right vs left, but up vs down. It is all about and all rests upon whether or not we collectively have a transcendent frame of value to which we are tied.
Also - Egalitarianism and elitism
Egalitarianism: all people are equally valuable
Elitism: some ideas are better than others
Our mistake in naturalistic western society is that we have made ideas equal and people elite. We think that the elite people at the top can tell us what ideas to follow. We should be valuing every person as created equal but only giving ideas status if they deserve it.
---------
Ben:
Can I be good without believing in God? Is there a good atheist?
Ravi:
Some atheists put us Christians to shame in their moral goodness. But the statement "I'm an atheist and a good person" is a circular impossibility. What do you mean by "good?" In some places of the world you love your neighbor, in other places you eat them. Both cultures think they are doing what is good.
If I think that goodness is based on what I personally think it is, I have to give that prerogative to every other person (think Hitler). The Indians thought they were being good for millennia when they forced a married woman to throw herself onto the fire of her husband's burning body after he died.
To say "I am good" is a highly risky statement if you do not believe in absolutes. To do so is a relativistic statement, which is self-defeating. (If all truth is relative, is that an absolutely true thing to say or is it also relative)?
We talk a lot about rights, but we have not defined what is right.
-----------
Ben:
Let's talk about rights then. How can we value peoples' rights without making a theocracy? (political forced religion)
Ravi:
Theocracy is wrong. It is not in alignment with Gods nature - God gave us the ability to believe or disbelieve, we need to value that freedom. But God didn't dismiss the entailments of what each of those options would mean.
But today it is those in opposition to Judeo-Christian values who are trying to oppose their theocracy.
Theocracy to an idea is the quickest way to destroy a belief in that idea.

Ben:
What to say to the secular humanist who claims that we are a pre-determined ball of meat floating through space and even our thoughts are just firing neurons?
Ravi:
I would ask them if that statement was determined or if they actually think that themselves. It’s a back door way to avoid responsibility. Why would we even have court systems if not for the fundamental belief in free will (this is like Peterson's case for free will based on its societal utility).
The pre-determined worldview says that there must not be morality then as morality is subject to free will.
---------
Ben:
What do you think about the area where we disagree - Jesus?
Ravi:
When the messiah comes we will just have to ask him "Have you been here before?" haha
Jesus is the fulfillment of the law that you believe in. He completes it. I believe in Jesus because of my personal relationship with Him. I hunger for not just the proposition but also the completion and I see in Christ the completion of the whole Judeo-Christian thing we both love.
We both have this in common - both of our highest goal is this. We both want communion with God.
Thank you for sharing this!!!!
Your name could have been Clif... That guy was popular for his notes. Haha! 😇😎😃
@@themadpolymath3430 No Problem! They're not perfect but give me a quick way to reflect on the episode without listening through the whole thing to find a certain point
@@MWiden Yes, thanks for all that work. :)
Made my whole month and even year. WIll listen this several times. Next Dr. Dvavid Woods.
I love David Wood also. That would be an interesting interview, I agree
Yes. D Wood PLEASE!!
Jesus is the way, the truth, and life! 🙌🏼
No, IMMANUEL is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus is a Catholic figure, nothing more.
@Paula Wallace When the Old does not coincide with the "new", ya gotta question it.
@Paula Wallace I am a Torah follower and keeper to the best I understand it at this point. I came out of 20 years of Christianity. I am not well-versed just yet, but I am getting there. I wouldn't say I am Messianic, but I do believe in the Messiah...just don't buy that his name is Jesus. ImmanuEl is what was prophesied. I am going with that at this point.
@Paula Wallace I believe it prophesies the Messiah....7:14-end. Its plain to me.
@Paula Wallace not sure what you are asking....I told you how I see it. What did you repent from exactly?
1 year ago: Nice interview
9 months ago: Rest in peace
1 week ago: This didn't age well
summed up nicely, hope he is in hell
@@lenagrace3949 That's a horrible thing to say. Hopefully he found Jesus in the end.
@@pyramusk3264 Did Jesus say to rape women?! Hmm a Christian that doesn’t believe in Jesus interesting.
@@noahremnek3615 It's literally not proven (claiming "we have proof" is not proof) in the first place and even if it were, that doesn't change the fact that Christ Himself would rebuke anyone who happily proclaimed "I hope he's in hell".
I have gone my whole life without having heard of Ravi Zacharias until now. He is brilliant, and he explains many things that I was thinking but didn't have the words to express. Thank you for inviting him, Ben!
Melodie-Allyn BenEzra Research his ministry, RZIM. He’s an awesome man of God!
@@carolynnunes3922 While I appreciate his discussion, I'm not looking for his ministry. But I thank you.
Melodie-Allyn BenEzra How polite you are, “son of Ezra.” I wrote my previous comment without understanding that you are a Jewess! How I love the apple of His eye, His portion of humanity, the Jews!
I will always stand with Israel and Zion! I pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
May the Most High bless you, and keep you within the shadow of His wings!
Never bored...will fulfill
SO thankful to Ben for having Ravi Zacharias on the Sunday Special. It was just a couple of weeks ago many were asking him to have Ravi on, so our hopes are realized. Thanks, Ben. This is a good choice. Ravi's a good man and much good will come from this.
Ravi Zavcharias could read the phone book and make it sound intelligent. Love this guy, he is a gift to our generation
True ⭐️😭
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
RSV
Only-monos
God-theos
Monos theos
Monotheism
The Father
Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)!
Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God!
Jesus has a God!
Jesus died!
God can’t die!
God raised Jesus from the dead!
Yeah right! That's the voice he used sedate his audience while carrying on with a sexual abuse career 🙄
This comment didn’t age well lol
his phone sure looks even more interesting now ...he did not believe in what he preached
"Morality alone will not save this society". Spoken by a professionally immoral man. Ravi Zacharias. Ben did you not know you sat across a hypocrite and abusive person?
Considering no one seemed to realize until a couple weeks ago, I seriously doubt he did, especially because he isn’t even Christian, he is Jewish so he probably wouldn’t follow a “devoted Christian” (he’s not a true person of God if he can do that to a person in my opinion)
You can be close to an abuser and not know it. I was good friends with a child molester for years before I became aware of it--I broke of that friendship. Yes, it's possible to be sitting across from someone and not know that he's an abuser.
"Instead of 'Right' and 'Left,' we should be thinking in terms of Up and Down." Liberals and conservatives both need to return to a healthy fear of God. God defines human life as sacred - so should we. We're not simply "a better animal."
Bravo Mr. Zacharias! And thanks Mr. Shapiro for the courage to have him and others like him on your show.
Such an excellent comment
Please interview Dr. David Wood and Michele Qureshi next. Michele is the widow of the late Dr. Nabeel Qureshi. If he wasn't dead I would request that Ben interview him instead.
Nabeel's hospital bed video brought me to Christ in April of this year, and life has been so incredible since. God bless Michelle and little Aya
@One for all I did share several times. Thank you so much. My heart broke too, and that's when i realized I myself was broken, having the knowledge of the Gospel and yet lacking a love for others. That me died in baptism, and now I am active in amazing church. Glory to the Lord Christ Jesus😃😃
David Parry2018 amen 🙏🏿 brother David! He was amazing servant of Christ!! And it’s such a blessing to hear you came to Christ due to his life and suffering. Amen brother!! Our God uses the pain and suffering for his glory!
I was so touched by this brother David!! God bless you and keep your eyes on Jesus!!
One for all amen 🙏🏿 I’ve actually reached out to RZIM when nabeel was alive, they were going to speak at my college. But we had to cancel due to push back on our campus. But he was going to come, and I’ve always been a big fan and admire his story of pain of leaving Islam to Christianity and his parents. When he was dying, I said God will use his life to bring so many people to him.
Looks like it did, by this conversation you and David had, I can tell God is still using this brothers last days on earth for his glory!
@@journeytrials Wow! Thank you so very much for that kindness. I had to stop for a sec and praise Christ for it. 😄
I don't know why my favourite people keep meeting each other as my imagination, this is crazy.
The judeo-christian community is coming together. It's a product of the end of times. We need to find the strength in communion. God bless you people!
Ikr I wish Ben would do one with Candace Owens but Candace did do one with Michael Knowles
@@paquitojhs The truth already won the battle! God bless indeed!
@@angelbarajas9180 That would be sweet
ARMY-L lol the execrable Michael Knowles
Brother, you will be missed. This world has lost a beautiful light. Thank you for inspiring us and helping us to walk confidently in faith. Yet, I rejoice that you are with our Lord!
Still sure he’s with our lord?
Gif always forgives
Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

Love Ravi one of the greatest Christian Apologetics Of our time 🙏🏼♥️
Pam Gilley
ApologetICISTS I think you might have meant to say
I was buried under a Ravalanche of wisdom and knowledge, and am only halfway through!
Tom Dechert HA YESSS
David Wood next please!
And Ben needs to go to the Boom Boom Room. 😁
That would be great.
Yeeeessssss
Oh gosh Ben in the boom boom room? Let me take a front row seat for that!
@@Kikuye Muhammad DESTROYS Ben Shapiro with BOMBS and EXPLOSIVES!!!
What a pity he never believed a word he said. Hypocrisy is his middle name. You may be very eloquent, but God watches the heart.
He would have repented in private with Jesus Christ
Praise Jesus !! May God give abundant grace to all the christian apologetic', missionaries, evangelists to share the gospel.
Wow!!! Ravi is one of my favorite Christian apologist. Thank you Ben. John Lennox next please...
Truth the Living Water. Lord be with Ravi and his family during this time.
Ravi's sensitive approach to logic and faith is a rare gem in the world. His respect toward all those who question him is humbling as he knows just how to disarm hostility and ignorance and get people to talk on much more level grounds than even someone like Ben Shapiro who is smart but not in the same league as Ravi. I challenge someone to find a better missionary for Jesus Christ and a better representation of intellectual contemplation of Jesus and his importance. Such a brilliant mind and a compassionate heart rests in Ravi. Loved this.
Hi Chris, may you want to hear William Lane Craig. All the best!
@@Dmorator why exactly is that?
@@thisistheslam Both have a respectful and honoring way of addressing the questioner before the question, I think. But, in fairness I haven't heard as much of William Lane Craig to be certain.
I pray that Ben open up his heart and mind on what Dr. Ravi is pointing. Apart from Jesus we are nothing.
Where is Dr. Ravi pointing? I don't recall him saying "Jesus". Dr. Ravi said Jews have communion with God, 52:55. If you think about it Ravi is saying Jews don't need Jesus.
If in one hour, Ravi, the skilled communicator, gives no evidence to confirm you view, perhaps we should call it interfaith ecumenicalism.
@@jakebredthauer5100 You missed 13:21.
Absolutely, apart from Christ we are nothing. I pray that the spirit of God moves in Ben to open his heart to the savior Jesus Christ.
@@markmantooth7693 He says "Jesus". He says he found Jesus as an answer for himself. I didn't notice any implication that Jews or anyone else needs Jesus.
How are we to interpret this? Did he mean that Jesus was needed by Jews and not say it or did he mean what he said and accidentally or intentionally avoid the issue. When a professional Christian interviews a professional Jew for one hour, the significance of Jesus Christ will not be accidentally skipped over. It was on purpose. Why? To promote unity.
If it is skipped over enough the Christians will be inviting the Jews over for supper and to speak in the church. Ben Shapero lectured the big student assembly of Liberty University.
Amen 🙏🏻
Thanks to Ben for making this happen. Been waiting for this. 😇😇😇 tons of love all the way from India
Tg. Samuel Nas here’s some love from Oklahoma, my brother! ♥️
Thank you for sharing Dr. Z. with us. He’s a treasure.
RIP Ravi Zacharias.. a heavyweight in the Faith..the world has lost much 😔😔
Natalie Pillay I actually cried. First time I’ve cried for someone I’ve never met.
@@moerivera6659 There are not many men or women whom l would call great. He was truly a great man from what l could tell. Truth is beautiful. He spoke so much truth.
Do not cry for him but be happy for him. I died a little over two years ago but Jesus brought me back. Ravi is not wrong on waits for us when our bodies pass away. I still cry when I think about to this day on what I experienced. It was more beautiful than anything we could ever experience in this world.
Dont worry, he is relieved from his back pain now and is together with God. He must be so thrilled meeting the Creator
@@moerivera6659 I could not stop crying when I heard that he passed
