He was not only blind, he was a disciple. When she leaves she becomes the new disciple that will spread the word.
That's what my mom was saying Jesus showed him the way.
The new brainwashed person.
Sounds like the E island 😂😂
Just because someone can read braille doesn't mean they're blind. He wasn't blind. He looked down on the bikers from the bridge. Saw the mouse. It was part of him, his disguise, not letting anyone else be able to use the book if found. - it being in braille
@@joeblow8206actually he heard the bikers and he heard the mouse, just like he heard the buzzard before he saw it. Also, it's how he sniffed out the bandits; his other senses have grown to compensate for the loss of his eye sight. Look at the placement of his head when he fights, it's almost stationary.
Every line Denzel delivers in this film is amazing. The twist is teased a good bit with little details the viewer won't pick up the first time. Very underrated film in his filmography

One of my fav Denzel films
When I watched this movie, I tricked myself into thinking he WASN'T blind. When he touched the dishes, and bumped into the table I said out loud to my girlfriend, "Oh, he must be blind." But then, when he "Saw" the dead man in the closet, I said... "Never mind." I got punk'd in the end lol.
When he checks for the boots on the man hanging in the closet with his hands was one of the first indications. 👍🏻
The irony of Gary Oldman's character getting the Bible and it being written in braille is so clever. I really enjoyed this movie for the reality of what a post apocalyptic world might look like. The casting and writing were all top notch.
I picked this movie up at Rebox and had ZERO idea what to expect. I didn't even for a second think he was blind the whole time or it would turn into a Bible movie. Love it!
I liked the movie but I hated the ending because how could he be blind.
@@kevin982what do you mean?
@@kevin982he was guided and protected by God. He was the chosen one to perpetuate the message that Jesus left on the earth. The fact that he is blind is the best thing in this movie. How could a blind man be able to do everything he did if not by God’s Grace? How could someone knows all the words in a whole bible? G O D. If he wasn’t blind the movie would be half perfect.
@@quickzcopinn1273 How did he shoot the cat at the start. That is one of a dozen questions. I say you are entitled to believe any story you want but don't try and sell me on a fairytale.
@@kevin982 he is not exactly blind, he suffers from cataracts because the sun burns his eyes. He can see but blurry.
One of my all time favorites! Denzel never fails to deliver
Oh shit I am so hyped for this one. What I love most about this movie is Carnegie's motivation. I love seeing a film acknowledge how religion can be a tool of evil. While simultaneously showing it can survive through a single book in a world of evil.
This film is jaw-dropping. A faith driven, graphic and arguous journey for any man even more so a blind one to undertake. Even so, Eli was chosen, thus Eli obeyed.
The twist is teased so many times throughout the second viewing it’s amazing. You see the whole movie and a whole new light his movements, the way he fights everything.
28:27 I have a theory. He only got shot cause he gave up the book. He said him self only he touches it. And that he's protected. Giving up the book was an act of not trusting God. Even when he got shot lightning struck like it was disapproval.
Also most people ignore the irony that he didn't need the book at all because he has it memorized, and understood. The villain only needed it because he didn't know it and didn't live like a Christian, only needed it for control. Kind of an important lesson of actions vs words.
So the villian was like modern day republicans.
@loner1878 clever girl... you come up with that all by yourself? So edgy. So brave. So 1990s
@@Akaeus Glad to see you're so triggered, lol. And republicans in the 90's weren't as batshit as they are now.
*modern politicians @@Seek1878
@@Seek1878 no he is most likely a democrat that started the war because his fellow liberals didnt believe in any god and started promoting and doing degenerate shayt in public, medias all around. How do you like being political? Dont like it huh? Stop bringing politics then
This is one of my all time favorites. The twist... the wild west motif with the post-apocalyptic.
Once again Denzel delivers. If you boys haven't, give Man on Fire a watch. And Gary Oldman... they could have cast ANYONE but the man's chops are unbeatable that no one else could have played this role. And Mila Kunis... wow. She gave her best performance ever.
And yo, let's give props to the amount of amazing actors in this.
Jennifer Beals as Solara's mother
Michael Gambon (Dumbledor) as the cannibal George
Tom Waits as the shopkeeper
Ray Stevenson as Redridge (the right hand man)
"Wasteland Paladin"!
I am SO stealing that! (perfect description)
I know this is generally considered a "mid" movie, but I always really liked it! (and not JUST because of the lovely Mila Kunis . . .only MOSTLY! lol)
You two have been watching some absolute bangers lately and we love to see it. Love seeing how much growth you've gone thru with the channel.
Great movie. Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman? It's impossible to go wrong there! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was the best 'Fallout: Stories' movie ever made. I always appreciated the visual homage to The Road Warrior (Mad Max) @8:07 The ending was a nice surprise and I never felt the need to pick at the obvious during a rewatch. I know Gary Oldman played in the Harry Potter movies but the comic relief of Professor Dumbledore and Madame Maxime (George and Martha Washington) was welcome.
I would have liked if she had taken several freshly printed bibles with her. He had a mission and completed it. I'm not sure what hers is.
To save her mother.
@@robertshields4160 Thanks!
What makes you think she didn’t have a copy?
One of the greatest post apocalyptic action movies ever made!
While I still enjoyed the twist of him being blind, my dad and I caught on very early he was blind. When he found the dead guy in the closet, the way he acted and moved kinda of hinted at it. There were some other small hints along the way also. None the less the reveal was still great. Though working with the blind myself, we assume maybe Eli may have been legally blind, but perhaps he could still see light and shadows just enough to work out the world around him. Since the flash from the war caused it. Where as someone who has no eyes wouldn't even see shadows or light or anything. Thus surviving may be even harder.
My problem with that is still the pinpoint accuracy he had while shooting everyone in town. To be 100% accurate, you need more than seeing "light & shadows" imo.
@@dIggl3r He was touched by God. A blessed carrier/warrior who suffered by aimless wandering but also unkillable. He got shot and mortally wounded after he gave the Bible up...
@@dIggl3r Nah. He definitely had some kinda divine protection. That one henchman took his time on three free shots and still somehow missed.
@@silverblade357that’s what I always thought it was
We don’t believe that you figured out that he was blind
I'm an atheist. And yet I loved this apocalyptic movie . Great style as well as acting and very creative scenes .
Notice how just before the bar fight Eli quoted scripture and the most telling thing in the whole movie was when he shot there was a lightning bolt in the background that showed he was on a mission from God and that was a sign from God. Imagine the amount of faith it would take to spend 36 years on a mission from God. Awesome reaction guys!
Kudos for y'all catching that he was blind early...one of those movies that if you don't catch it til the end (like most of us) it's fun to go back and rewatch
Criminally UNDERRATED movie
Yall picked up on it a lot better than i did, i was completely blindsided by it the whole time, thought things were just being done for the sake of making him be a billy badass, was amazing on the second watch
Gary Oldman does play the best villains. For another great one, watch True Romance. It was written by Quentin Tarantino before he was famous and one of my favorites.
The fact that he was blind made him even more bad ass
I absolutely love this movie. The twist is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I love Denzel Washington and I’m a huge Gary Oldman fan as well, so having them both in a movie together was wonderful. I’m so happy y’all watched this film. It certainly makes you ponder things.
Eli fulfilled his mission. He can rest now.
And if you pay attention at the little scene at the end when Malcolm McDowell put the Bible on a shelf, you'll see other religious and spiritual books like the Koran etc. So it can mean that other people had the same "calling", and/or that it's not especially a christian-prozelitizing movie because it shows that it's not all about the Bible...
I found that movie awesome when it came out, one of the best movies of 2010, and beyond the so-called religious part, an awesome story about power, will to live, purposefulness and hope.
The Hughes Brothers also did From Hell ;)
Such a good pick, I’m not a religious person but the message is so worth investing time to watch this movie
Chrtianity is not a religion it's a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Whoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.
@@kellyadams79
Should is not shall.
KJV John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
underrated gem right here, love the bleakness of the setting & the soundtrack.
RIP Ray Stevenson (Oldman's main henchman), so sad that he passed away just as he was about to become a household name in Star Wars: Ahsoka. He was fantastic in HBO's mini series 'Rome'. Sleep well big fella.
I saw this film in the theater. It was a good experience. Great reaction bros! 👍🏿
That is why he says the line, walk by faith, not by sight. Biblical reference like some of the other lines he used here & there.
'The Wasteland Paladin' sounds like an awesome title for a book
21:26 I love this part of the movie. You think the woman is trying to protect Salara, but what's really going on in her head is "You have got to go cause you are younger and cleaner than me, they will kill me and give you my job"
Movie recommendation for you to react to: SHERLOCK HOLMES (2009), this movie is excellent, you will enjoy it.
"Thats a terrible haircut, no wonder he did it." 😂
Got this on DVD when it got to the ending I was totally shocked my mom was too this was great one of my favorite Denzel films.
Eli is a biblical figure who was a judge and a priest, according to the 'book of Samuel'.
The way people barely missing him looks like some straight up divine intervention. Perfect accuracy too lol
You guys are obviously very clever.
When my gf and I watched this years ago, it was a massive revelation for us that Denzel was blind when we saw the book was braille.
Our minds were literally blown and we never expected it.
Congratulations on having incredible observational skills, guys. 👍🏻
It never occurred to me that Eli was blind. I just thought he somehow learned to red Braille.
Carnegie IS NOT stupid.
He's trapped and desperate.
Carnegie maintains control of his minions with promises of UNNAMED rewards. And those promises are starting to wear thin.
Look at Carnegie's interactions with his minions. When the minion comes back with a bag of books, he's very frustrated the bible is not one of them. Because of this, he's not getting the unnamed reward. But then Carnegie gives a small reward, and the minion is ecstatic.
Now, look at Carnegie and Redridge (his lieutenant). When they make a deal for the bible, Redridge specifies that the reward will be Solara. He's smart enough to know those unnamed rewards are paltry.
Unfortunately for Carnegie, this a post-apocalyptic world with extreme scarcity. There just aren't a whole lot of rewards to be handing out.
Throughout history, this situation typically led to pillaging your neighbors to get plunder for your minions. I'm sure Carnegie would do it if he had enough men to be certain of the outcome.
So, here's a guy who is running out of rewards to give, and can't pillage his neighbors. Carnegie is persuasive, but he does not inspire people.
But, there was something that once inspired people. The Christian bible.
Carnegie doesn't want that bible. He NEEDS it.
With that bible, he wouldn't need physical force to take over a town. He just needs to parrot the right words from the bible to control the people. And if he's lucky, some of his minions might also be inspired.
There are clues in the film suggesting that Carnegie only has a vague understanding of the bible. He knows that the bible inspired people to do great and terrible things, but he seems fixated on getting the right words to inspire (control) people.
I won't go into it because I'm trying to get out of the habit of writing RUclips essays.
Thank you! I was trying to express this but i dont think i did it correctly.
You two have some of the funniest reactions to some of the most serious movies 😂😂 it’s great
This movie is the closest we got to an actual Fallout (game) movie. Loved it. Very overlooked.
This movie is what spurred my love for Hans Zimmerman's music composition.
Im not a smart man
But a lone wanderer in the wastes is someone probably not to be messed with. There is a reason as to why he is alone. And alive
A couple of good hints that make him look badass, is like how he doesn't shoot the snipers till they shoot him, or he stares down the second in command, but you realize he didn't shoot the snipers till they fired and he could hear them. Or he may not have known the commander was there.
Thank you for this format, with the source in the corner rather than split portraits with one flipped. This is easier to watch.
19:37 ......This is a way to sneeze and also exorcise demons.......
Glad this won that pole because this is one of my favorite Denzel movies.
A holy terminator 😂😂😂I lost it great reaction
Denzel is a true role model that everyone should look up to, criminally underrated film
"Somebody's RAINING!!!" HAHAAHAHAHAH! Never change guys. Never change!
To watch this for the first time and find out at the end that he's blind literally blew my mind. I then named my son after this movie, Eli
The one plot point in this film that REALLY bothers me is that the book being in braille shouldn't matter to the main antagonist. There are only 26 letters in the alphabet, you could use inference to translate the braille into the regular alphabet relatively simply, especially if you had nothing else to focus your time on.
First you identify vowels using one letter words like "I" or "A", then move on to two letter words like "To" or "Is" to lock in vowels /and/ consonants, and slowly work forwards. A smart person could easily crack it in within a waking day.
You know...as a child of the 80's, the lack of post-apocalyptic movies in current times is interesting and scary. I grew up on them. It felt like there was pne every year.
But I was waiting so patiently for ya'll to see the truth.
It was really funny, "what book is he looking for" the movie is called THE BOOK OF ELI
Blew my freaking mind, when you find out he was blind the whole time. Damn I can spit. 😂
Definitely one of my favorite Denzel Washington movies the acting was honestly in my opinion some of his best work, the best part is realizing the Bible is in braille 👏🏾👏🏾 my bf still doesn’t believe he literally playing a blind man in this movie 😂 I mean at first I was wondering why he so accurate tho but, my guess was that he was touched by god in a way leading him he did say “stay on the path” I always felt that was kinda the point he was lead by the hand of god or shielded in a way
Book of Eli to me is very much akin to the Zatoichi films, where a blind swordsman disguised as a nobody gets involved with the petty troubles of a random settlement. Only in this they kind of play on the idea of the possibility of divine protection. You can actually see all the tells of Eli's disability right from the beginning, like when he opened the cabinet and didn't react in seeing the corpse that was inside, and the fact that he can bump into things or wasn't able to read the sign that was right in front of the old couple's home. It's such a well world built movie. Even the scope of the 'flash' nuclear fallout, it had only got into certain radii. Like who knows if there were other places that weren't destroyed by the 'flash'. And I love that they didn't explain it any further.
It's a shame it is so hard to find the Zatoichi films on streaming. I didn't see them on the Criterion channel the last time I checked. I think they're on Amazon to purchase, but I'm not keen on buying digital goods that can be removed.
Zato films are awesome.
Watched this in the cinema, the soundtrack blew me away.
Funny thing I noticed, is that the sanctuary at the end already had a copy of the Torah. So as soon as he started reciting Genesis, the guy could have said "hold up, let's skip forward" or "whoops i guess we already have this one"
Also George the cannibal is Dumbledore
At which point did you guys realize he was blind? I missed that if it was shown. I noticed you said of the mom, "wait! She is blind TOO?!" and I was like "what do you too? You shouldn't know anyone else is blind at this point!"
Brilliant part:
Yeah he only shot after he was shot at to hear the direction, and he did not notice the gun pointing at him without firing until it was too late when it all quited down. His expression looked like a moment of doubt like "did I do something wrong? am i no longer protected?"
He swung the blades around without even looking at his opponents' direction, when one-on-one he hesitates then swings wide in the general direction until he gets a grip on the chainsaw guy right in front of him.
Not making sense part:
Yeah Gary Oldman's character could've easily just made stuff up and pretended he had a book or Devine guidance; the young generation can't read and never even heard of a Bible or a prayer before, and the old generation who knows would be too scared of his goons to challenge him over it.
That hairless dog at the beginning was adorable
He still won't let it go, it's doomed me.
yes!! i didnt realize that yall had reacted to this gem of a movie. you guys are awesome! thank you both for all of the entertainment.
One of my top 5 favourite films of all time!
The cannibal couple also played Professor Dumbledore & Madame Maxine in the Harry Potter series.
“GET THEM!”
Is the greatest line in the entire film.
🙏🏻
The thing that got me with this movie is that Gary Oldman wanted the Bible to dominate over people so when he got injured, although his wound was minor (compared to Eli's wound), it festered. Solara"s mom told him she could smell it rotting. That's because he was evil. Eli's wound was in the stomach. That kind of wound gets infected fast, is very painful, and kills you very slowly but Eli cleaned it with the KFC wipes and it healed. They both had faith in the Bible but Gary Oldman was punished for trying to use it for evil.
This movie is so good and amazing Denzel played his character so well in this love the video octokrool stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
So glad you got to watch this movie!
"I didn't see the sign" He aint lying. =)
You always have a choice. God always give you a choice. He didn't have to be a dick to Denzel. He even had another chance when he finally got the book. He didn't have to shoot him. He knew what the Bible was. He could have led to the light instead he chose to be a tyrant.
Hav to say if you know what a braille bible actually looks like, you have to roll your eyes at the end of the movie. My university had a braille bible in the library - it was SEVERAL bible sized books that took up two shelves 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, The Book of Eli! Haven't seen this one in a long time. May I suggest another great Denzel Washington movie that everyone has forgotten about? Flight.
I love how in the end the Bible is just put on a shelf.
Title: “Unfriended”
Year: 2014
Genre: Horror Budget: $1 million Box Office Gross:$64 million
Main Cast: Shelley Hennig, Moses Storm, Renee Olstead, Will Peltz, Jacob Wysocki, Courtney Halverson.
“As an atheist, my argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got to this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”
-CS Lewis
Evil cannot exist without good, and good cannot exist without God.
An analogy: The shadows prove the sunshine.
In order to have shadows you have to have sunshine. In other words, in order to have evil you have to have good. Yes, you can have sunshine without shadows. You can have good without evil, but you can’t have shadows without sunshine. You can’t have evil without good. This might sound counterintuitive but if evil exists (and it does) then God exists.
God isn’t doing evil because He is the standard of good by which we’d even know what evil was. Evil DOESN’T disprove God.
Now, you can ask the question, “why would God allow it to continue?” That’s another question with another answer. But what we can’t say is that it disproves him. Nothing would be evil unless God existed because he is the standard of good.
Gods nature is morality. It’s true North.
Well the concept of morality is a positive concept. Not a negative one. Satan is a fallen Angel. In other words, evil can’t exist unless good exists. Evil is a privation in good.
In other words, people say there’s too much evil in the world. But I would then ask them, what do they mean by evil?
Because they will have a difficult time explaining what evil is without referring to good.
Evil is like cancer. If you take all the cancer out of a good body you have a better body. What happens if you try to take all the body out of the cancer? It doesn’t exist. It can’t exist.
Evil is like rust in a car. If you take all the rust out of the car you have a better car. If you try to take all the car out of the rust, what do you have? Nothing because it doesn’t exist. Just a rust spot on the pavement.
Evil is like rot in a tree. If you take all the rot out of a tree, you have a better tree. If you try to take the tree out of the rot, what do you have? Nothing because rot doesn’t exist on its own.
Evil is a moth eaten garment. You have holes in the garment. What’s a completely moth eaten garment? Nothing!
In other words evil can ONLY exist as a parasite in good things. So ultimate reality can’t be evil. Ultimate reality can only be good.
This is why C.S. Lewis and his book “Mere Christianity” points this out. He says Strict Dualism can’t be true. What is strict dualism? There are equal and opposite forces. A good force and evil force. Or the Yin Yang you see in the new age. That can’t be ultimate reality. Because the bad force HAS to borrow from the good force to even exist.
In order for Satan to exist he has to have “Being” which is GOOD. He has to have free will which is good. In fact, Satan metaphysically is GOOD. Because he has these QUALITIES. He has mind, emotion and will. And in order for him to do evil, he has to have those good qualities.
But you can’t imagine a “completely evil thing”. It doesn’t exist. It has to BORROW or STEAL from good. So ultimate reality is good! And that’s how one way we KNOW God is the source of goodness. He is ultimate reality. It’s not arbitrary because He is the standard of goodness.
No lol, the conclusion simply doesn't follow the premise haha.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
[7]Then shall the dust returne to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall returne vnto God who gaue it.
Except that there has never been a single, universal agreement on what “goodness” is. It’s always defined by different cultures depending on their place and time.
Not to mention there are hundreds of world religions, each with a distinct god and a distinct morality. CS Lewis is only referring to Christianity but his entire argument (which is not a new one btw) falls apart when you take into account the multitude of theologies.
Tautological arguments like “there is good and evil and I’m choosing to equate good with God” are fallacious right down to their core.
Not trying to convert you to atheism or anything, you do you. But nothing you or CS Lewis wrote here are valid, rational proofs of God’s existence. People have tried for centuries to make this argument work and it never has, never will.
@@ghani666 Atheists think morality is subjective
Question: If morality is derived from God, then how do you account for different standards of morality among different countries and civilizations and over different periods of time?
CS Lewis investigated that very question quite well in his book, “The Abolition of Man”. Where he says, “Although there are differences among the periphery, all major civilizations have agreed on an essential moral code. You can’t think of a society where it was considered good that you double-crossed all the people kindest to you. Or that you ran away from your friends in battle. You might as well think of a place where 2+2=5. You will not find a culture like that.” The argument for reality doesn’t require human agreement. If everybody disagreed with morality, that wouldn’t mean that reality is somehow subjective.
Imagine the Nazi’s had won WW2 and took over the entire world and convinced everybody that murdering Jews was a good thing. Would that make it a good thing? Of course not, right? Because there is a standard beyond us. If we have morality wrong, that’s not God’s fault. That’s our fault. See, that would be more sociology rather than morality and how people behave. We’re talking about a standard even if we disagree with the standard it still exists.
So an atheist might say that, “sure, maybe there is a God who sets specific moral standards, but that ultimately means nothing if that’s not how people view society.”
Well, no because people have their free will to say that, “we are not going to follow the moral code.” We can use abortion as an example. An atheist knows and I know that if we saw a live baby being dismembered, we would immediately understand intuitively that’s wrong. However, people will choose to suppress the truth about that because we want the convenience of not having a child in our lives. And we can absolutely suppress the truth. We all suppress the truth. It’s not a matter of our cognition. It’s a matter of our resistance to the implications of what the right thing is. We understand dismembering babies is wrong. But we may suppress that so we can have the convenience of getting someone out of our lives we don’t want in our lives.
Now an atheist might be wondering, if we have this objective standard of morality set for us by God, but does that mean anything here on earth if that’s not how “certain people” live and that’s not how “certain people” view morality? Does it matter what’s more “relevant” to us?
Just like the example of the Nazi’s given. That without a God we can’t prove that what the Nazi’s did were evil. Do we still know Nazi’s were evil because we all collectively agree that what they did is bad? So does a standard of morality absolutely exist “just because” we agree that it exists without God?
This is where atheists repeatedly contradict themselves in this topic of conversation.
So if an atheist thinks if the Nazi’s had won and convinced everybody that murdering Jews was right, an atheist would still admit that would still be wrong even if everyone collectively agreed it was right.
We are not talking about a hypothetical world here. If everyone in that historical situation agreed it was right, the atheist today would claim they still know it’s wrong because they accept these societal standards of morality within our life and the real world.
But…the societal standard was to murder Jews! In the “real world”.
No the Nazi’s did not win. They did not convince everyone on the planet that what they did was right. But is that because everyone agrees that murder is bad and mass murder is bad?
So atheists believe regardless whether there is a God or not, there can’t be such things as “standards of morality” set by God because it’s ultimately what we agree it to be and what we agree it to be can change and can be wrong.
This is what atheists do over and over. They go back and forth on what they say. That’s the problem. Here’s what I mean…
An atheist will say today that the Nazi’s would be wrong EVEN IF EVERYBODY AGREED that what they were doing was right. So if an atheist is saying this from their personal perspective of their own lives, then that would just be an atheists subjective opinion. Atheists truly think that morality is based on everyone’s own opinion. A “societal opinion” so to speak.
Well…if it’s just an opinion then the Nazi’s weren’t REALLY wrong. But the atheist will still say they were wrong because we all agree they were wrong.
Well…if the the Nazi’s weren’t really wrong because the standard is just human opinion, and so if everybody and all of humanity decides murdering Jews is right, then an atheist is going to say that’s ok, right? If an atheist will disagree with that, then they are contradicting their premise.
This is actually very simple.
Either each society decides what’s right and makes up their own laws based on their own subjective morality agreed upon by a majority, and no society can judge another society based on everything being an opinion.
OR
There’s a standard beyond ALL societies that is right and we are all required to adhere to and therefore you can judge societies by that standard. Whether we agree or acknowledge that standard or not.
So which view makes more sense?
Atheists might claim that no human being really knows if that “objective standard” absolutely exists in this life?
So an atheist will say that everybody agreed that murder is wrong and therefore mass murder is wrong. But then that same atheist will then say that people can’t agree what’s right or wrong. Do we see what’s happening here now?
So which is it?
An atheist believes we can’t know for certain if there is a God and what that God believes to be right and wrong. They believe it’s impossible to know in this lifetime. So they will just stick to morality coming down to what people agree it to be.
Sure atheists and theists agree on some core issues of morality. But atheists think we can still debate certain aspects of it. Unfortunately that is not true.
Providing a “defense” or giving an “answer” for one’s hope is based on the Greek word apologian, which carries the idea of “defending” something as a lawyer would defend his case in court. From the Greek word comes the English apologetics, “the discipline of defending” the Christian faith. Notice that Peter does not say that the job of giving an answer is only for the pastor or professional apologist (1 Peter 3:15). All Christians need to be prepared to give an answer or defense when someone asks them the reason for the hope that they have.
@@ghani666
Atheist: The Abrahamic God cannot exist because it wasn’t the first God to be created. There are other Gods that have been proclaimed to exist before this God and after this God. They can’t all be true so if we can deny the existence of one of these gods, we can use the same method to deny them all.
But what’s the problem with this?
If this is a good argument against God, then it’s a good argument against science as well. Since older, false concepts are often replaced by newer true concepts. Based on an atheists logic, since the older geocentric view is false, we can just deny the newer heliocentric view by the same method. Of course this is silly! You should weigh the evidence for each theory and for each God. Another non-sequitur on the board!
Love this movie! ❤ one of my favorite!
I could have gone for a sequel with her heading back.
You guys should check out John Q and man on fire both amazing Denzel Washington movies
"Wasteland Paladin", That's got to be the coolest description I heard, I'm going to use that XD
Wow that's pretty good figuring out the twist well beforehand.
The holy spirit Christ Yashaya was with Eli. (Great Bible movie) & its from the Revelation in kjv. (This is what they bible prophecied for the future)
Also, from what I realized, he follows the sun, meaning the sun always rises in the East and sets in the West.
17:25 - You sound like the moaning doors in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" 😂
Guys, try, “The Great Debaters,” with Denzel!
I was able to catch on that he had vision problems when he opened the lighter and waved his hand across to make sure it was lit
"Martha's sweeeet!"
Me: "giggles"
Post apocalyptic John Wick with a messiah complex, a Wickalypto if you will. The only thing that would have made this better is the use of a pencil in the bar.
That dog was adorable
the only rule of a post-apocalyptic world: you don't f'k with lone wanderers...
Watch it again once you know Eli is blind. You'll pick up a whole lot of different things. :)
YES! My favorite people & my favorite movie! Finally.
& 3:30 is why. “I’m assuming the worlds not in a good place”
Very next scene “yup worlds gone to 💩”
