You might dispute what he is arguing but this man speaks in a logical manner with relevant information that should be emanated by more people. He is a modern day C. S. Lewis in terms of combining intelligence with logic. He didn't show any negativism or anger during the Q & A. His humility is something to be admired.
Great man with a great talk. He said once he attended C.S. Lewis lecture and cannot be compared to him. I read all C.S. Lewis books and many of J.Lennox online sessions… This man is a genius of simple articulations to embrace the Christ as Lord ans Savior, and especially our Judge at the time of judgement. HalleluYah.

@@HarryNicNicholasyeah, John is not unbiased, however no one is truly unbiased. Even atheists whom I've spoken to though they claim to be unbiased, are completely biased. I was an agnostic atheist but became a Christian 2 years ago and I couldn't be happier.
you are blessed that whilst you worship yourself God buries the most vulnerable under the tools of the abortion industry. Would you think it worth to die from natural disaster than from the selfish decisions of other humans or is your brain too small for that. If you think small children's death makes God look so much more a monster go to the smallest. Sure the death of the old lady would matter less to a pea brained.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

What is moral or ethical about suggesting people go about with one foot in fantasyland? Any deity, outside of fiction, unknown to everyone, is a deity fudging the title. That is obvious. The spiritual are full of spiritual words, having no meaning outside of fiction. If god were real & did not have a perfect record of doing nothing, we would not have the saying: God helps those helping themselves. Faith without works is dead. Faith is worthless. If you had the smallest amount, you could say move to mountain, and the thing would move by magic.
I must say, this is one of my favorite talks given by Dr. Lennox. The Chinese certainly seem to be more open to the topics than Westerners, as far as I can tell... but that's just me.
He truly is an "instrument" of the living God.... His explanation are broken down for everyone to understand. Thank God for Dr. John Lennox... he has my greatest respect.

sirilay 🐟 07. GOD (OR NOT): There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the slightest shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person, for the notion of an omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent Deity is both profoundly illogical and extremely incongruous, to put it mildly. The English word “PERSON” literally means “for sound”, originating from the Latin/Greek “persona/prósōpa”, referring to the masks worn by actors in ancient European theatrical plays, which featured a mouth hole to enable the actors to speak through. Theists, by definition, believe that there is a Supreme Deity which incorporates anthropomorphic characteristics such as corporeal form (even if that form is a “spiritual” body, whatever that may connote), with a face (hence the term “person”), and certain personality traits such as unique preferences and aversions. Common sense dictates that Ultimate Reality must necessarily transcend all concepts, including personality and even impersonality. However, only an excruciatingly minute number of humans have ever grasped this complete understanding and realization. There are at least FOUR possible reasons why many persons are convinced of the existence of a Supreme Personal God: 1. Because it is natural for any sensible person to believe that humans may not be the pinnacle of existence, and that there must be a higher power or ultimate creative force (an intelligent designer). However, because they cannot conceive of this designer being non-personal, they automatically suspect it must be a man (God) or a woman (The Goddess) with personal attributes. One who is truly awakened and/or enlightened understands that the Universal Self is the creator of all experiences and that he IS that (“tat tvam asi”, in Sanskrit). 2. Because they may have experienced some kind of mystical phenomenon or miracle, which they mistakenly attribute to “God's grace”, but which can be more logically explicated by another means. As explained, all such phenomena are produced by the TRUE Self of all selves (“Paramātman”, in Sanskrit). I, the author of this Holy Scripture, have personally experienced very powerful, miraculous, mystical phenomena, which I formerly ascribed to the personal conception of God (since I was a Theist), but now know to be caused, ultimately, by the Real Self. 3. Because they may have witnessed the deeds or read the words of an individual who seems to be a perfect person - in other words an incarnation of the Divine Principle (“Avatāra”, in Sanskrit). To be sure, such persons do exist, but that does not necessarily prove that the Supreme Truth is PERSONAL. An Avatar is a man who was born fully enlightened, with all noble qualities, but not necessarily perfect in every possible way. For example, very few (if any) of the recognized Avatars in human history taught or practiced veganism. 4. Because they may have been CONDITIONED by their family, society and/or religious organization over many years or decades. Unfortunately, we humans are very gullible. Due to low intelligence and lack of critical analytical skills, the typical person believes almost anything they read or hear from virtually any source. During a visit to one's local place of worship on any given weekend, one will notice a congregation of sheepish individuals nodding in agreement with practically every nonsensical, inane word spouted by their deluded so-called “priest”, imam, mullah, rabbi, guru, monk, or preacher. Even the current World Teacher, despite his genius intellect, was once a thoroughly-indoctrinated religious fundamentalist, before he awoke to a definitive understanding of life. Having stated the above, the worship of the Personal Deity (“bhakti yoga”, in Sanskrit), is a legitimate spiritual path for the masses. However, the most ACCURATE understanding is monistic or non-dual (“advaita”, in Sanskrit). If one wishes to be even more pedantic, the ultimate understanding is beyond even the concept of nonduality, as the famous South Indian sage, Śri Ramana Maharishi, once so rightly proclaimed. As an aside or adjunct, it seems that virtually every religious organization, particularly those originating in Bhārata (India), claims to have been founded by an Avatar, but that’s simply wishful thinking on the part of their congregations. Only a great sage or World Teacher can POSSIBLY recognize an enlightened being, what to speak of an Incarnation of the Divine. The typical spiritual aspirant, even one who may seem to be a highly-exalted practitioner, has very little idea of what constitutes actual holiness. Frankly speaking, many famous (infamous?) religious leaders were some of the most vile and contemptible characters in human history, particularly in this Epoch of Darkness (“Kali Yuga”, in Sanskrit). “God is greater than God.” ************* “Where there is Isness, there God is. Creation is the giving of isness from God. That is why God becomes where any creature expresses God.” ************* “Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.” ************* “There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.” ************* “The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.” ************* “The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” Eckhart von Hochheim O.P. (AKA Meister Eckhart) , German Roman Catholic Priest. “God is merely one of man's concepts, a symbol used for pointing the way, to the Ultimate Reality, which has been mistaken for the Reality itself. The map has been mistaken for the actual territory.” ************* “Worshippers may derive some sort of satisfaction or peace of mind, through worship of a concept such as God (created by themselves), but it is a futile process, from the viewpoint of experiencing one's true nature.” Ramesh Balsekar, Indian Spiritual Teacher.

apart from people not coming back from the dead, snakes not talking, donkeys not talking, the creation narrative being wrong in the bible, and a thousand other things, science is totally compatible with superstition - if you say so.
@@HarryNicNicholas Everyone of those things are Nothing for an Almighty God to do.

I feel for you,, for when You DO see Him, you'll cry out in terror. The Bible is God's Word of Salvation, it's Truth & still the most purchased book on the face of the earth! Open your ears & heart ❣
The Bible says that the earth was round way before the flat-earthers showed up. Also, it was the church who encouraged early scientists to use their churches' top structures to view & learn of the stars and it was the church that pressed for hospitals & schools. All the scientists in the world cannot come close to the God of creation, the all-knowing Real Scientist.

John Lennox has so lucidly and succinctly explored and exposed the topic of discussion from his christian perspective, he deserves ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ God has revealed Himself to you.🙏
We will live for 70, 80 , 90 plus years if we are lucky but will spend thousands and millions of years dead so it is worthwhile to pursue God , to find out if what Christ said was true.
He is a very honest man which shows through and he gets it....he believes in truth and christian bible principles....I can listen all night...he is right about the church and does not lie or cover up....I so miss this honesty...it makes me lonely to not hear the truth. His grasp of the cosmological argument is fabulous....we need hard copy before we cannot get it online.....
Understanding the life and teachings of Jesus Christ is still a force for good for every Christian who truly live it, not necessarily for the whole world. But at least reasonably believing in God still fare better than the total absence of God in every dumb or intelligent scientists, politicians or rich men, who easily degrade into idiots savages prone to violence.

Few probably heard of this wonderful gentleman in the US but I am glad I found him. We have a great online Bible study group that meets every Thursday night on Yuck Tube. So happens that some of our group also listens to Mr. Lennox. Because he is far more knowledgeable of the scripture than 99% of US pastors we enjoy him. Our leader Dr. Randy White is in the same class as this excellent man. Note should anyone look up our class our leader has a shaved head and face. There’s several others with his same name in the Bible study business however none of them are like him. Most are Kingdom now Covent Theology, we are Pauline Grace gospel which is not popular and never has been but its more literal and true to the text
how? since when has god presided over ANY court case? since when has god's rules been used in court? humans do all the work, every case it looked at on it's own merit, god does nothing, not a thing. and jesus didn't write anything, you need to realise that you're quoting someone who invented what they thought jesus ought to have said.
God is only relevant to those who know Him for those that refuse to know God they are basically living a hopeless life full of selfishness and pride and always have something missing in their lives and it's so obvious when you see those who have all the money and fame yet are unsatisfied and over dose on drugs. Science itself is faith based because you have to have faith that the future will behave like the past so those who believe in naturalism are amongst the dumbest living today

God is within each and every one of us, it’s just a matter of connecting with our inner self and one can realise that what we expected up in heaven was always within us.

You might dispute what he is arguing but this man speaks in a logical manner with relevant information that should be emanated by more people. He is a modern day C. S.

🌹What a wonderful talk John Lennox gave. May God's message come through and save many lives.🌹Blessings to HKU for this program.
What is moral or ethical about suggesting people go about with one foot in fantasyland? Any deity, outside of fiction, unknown to everyone, is a deity fudging the title. That is obvious. The spiritual are full of spiritual words, having no meaning outside of fiction. If god were real & did not have a perfect record of doing nothing, we would not have the saying: God helps those helping themselves. Faith without works is dead. Faith is worthless. If you had the smallest amount, you could say move to mountain, and the thing would move by magic.

Are you a THEIST? 🤔
If so, what are the reasons for your BELIEF in God? 🤓

🐟 07. GOD (OR NOT):
There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the slightest shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person, for the notion of an omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent Deity is both profoundly illogical and extremely incongruous, to put it mildly.
The English word “PERSON” literally means “for sound”, originating from the Latin/Greek “persona/prósōpa”, referring to the masks worn by actors in ancient European theatrical plays, which featured a mouth hole to enable the actors to speak through. Theists, by definition, believe that there is a Supreme Deity which incorporates anthropomorphic characteristics such as corporeal form (even if that form is a “spiritual” body, whatever that may connote), with a face (hence the term “person”), and certain personality traits such as unique preferences and aversions. Common sense dictates that Ultimate Reality must necessarily transcend all concepts, including personality and even impersonality. However, only an excruciatingly minute number of humans have ever grasped this complete understanding and realization.
There are at least FOUR possible reasons why many persons are convinced of the existence of a Supreme Personal God:
1. Because it is natural for any sensible person to believe that humans may not be the pinnacle of existence, and that there must be a higher power or ultimate creative force (an intelligent designer). However, because they cannot conceive of this designer being non-personal, they automatically suspect it must be a man (God) or a woman (The Goddess) with personal attributes. One who is truly awakened and/or enlightened understands that the Universal Self is the creator of all experiences and that he IS that (“tat tvam asi”, in Sanskrit).
2. Because they may have experienced some kind of mystical phenomenon or miracle, which they mistakenly attribute to “God's grace”, but which can be more logically explicated by another means. As explained, all such phenomena are produced by the TRUE Self of all selves (“Paramātman”, in Sanskrit). I, the author of this Holy Scripture, have personally experienced very powerful, miraculous, mystical phenomena, which I formerly ascribed to the personal conception of God (since I was a Theist), but now know to be caused, ultimately, by the Real Self.
3. Because they may have witnessed the deeds or read the words of an individual who seems to be a perfect person - in other words an incarnation of the Divine Principle (“Avatāra”, in Sanskrit). To be sure, such persons do exist, but that does not necessarily prove that the Supreme Truth is PERSONAL. An Avatar is a man who was born fully enlightened, with all noble qualities, but not necessarily perfect in every possible way. For example, very few (if any) of the recognized Avatars in human history taught or practiced veganism.
4. Because they may have been CONDITIONED by their family, society and/or religious organization over many years or decades. Unfortunately, we humans are very gullible. Due to low intelligence and lack of critical analytical skills, the typical person believes almost anything they read or hear from virtually any source. During a visit to one's local place of worship on any given weekend, one will notice a congregation of sheepish individuals nodding in agreement with practically every nonsensical, inane word spouted by their deluded so-called “priest”, imam, mullah, rabbi, guru, monk, or preacher. Even the current World Teacher, despite his genius intellect, was once a thoroughly-indoctrinated religious fundamentalist, before he awoke to a definitive understanding of life.
Having stated the above, the worship of the Personal Deity (“bhakti yoga”, in Sanskrit), is a legitimate spiritual path for the masses. However, the most ACCURATE understanding is monistic or non-dual (“advaita”, in Sanskrit). If one wishes to be even more pedantic, the ultimate understanding is beyond even the concept of nonduality, as the famous South Indian sage, Śri Ramana Maharishi, once so rightly proclaimed.
As an aside or adjunct, it seems that virtually every religious organization, particularly those originating in Bhārata (India), claims to have been founded by an Avatar, but that’s simply wishful thinking on the part of their congregations. Only a great sage or World Teacher can POSSIBLY recognize an enlightened being, what to speak of an Incarnation of the Divine. The typical spiritual aspirant, even one who may seem to be a highly-exalted practitioner, has very little idea of what constitutes actual holiness. Frankly speaking, many famous (infamous?) religious leaders were some of the most vile and contemptible characters in human history, particularly in this Epoch of Darkness (“Kali Yuga”, in Sanskrit).

“God is merely one of man's concepts, a symbol used for pointing the way, to the Ultimate Reality, which has been mistaken for the Reality itself.
The map has been mistaken for the actual territory.”

apart from people not coming back from the dead, snakes not talking, donkeys not talking, the creation narrative being wrong in the bible, and a thousand other things, science is totally compatible with superstition - if you say so.
@@HarryNicNicholas Everyone of those things are Nothing for an Almighty God to do. If He were no more powerful than you or me, I don't think I'd be able to believe He's THE all powerful God Who knows all, Who sees all & is omnipresent, being everywhere at once. I feel for you,, for when You DO see Him, you'll cry out in terror. The Bible is God's Word of Salvation, it's Truth & still the most purchased book on the face of the earth! Open your ears & heart ❣
The Bible says that the earth was round way before the flat-earthers showed up. Also, it was the church who encouraged early scientists to use their churches' top structures to view & learn of the stars and it was the church that pressed for hospitals & schools. All the scientists in the world cannot come close to the God of creation, the all-knowing Real Scientist.

I, the author of this Holy Scripture, have personally experienced very powerful, miraculous, mystical phenomena, which I formerly ascribed to the personal conception of God (since I was a Theist), but now know to be caused, ultimately, by the Real Self.
3. Because they may have witnessed the deeds or read the words of an individual who seems to be a perfect person - in other words an incarnation of the Divine Principle (“Avatāra”, in Sanskrit). To be sure, such persons do exist, but that does not necessarily prove that the Supreme Truth is PERSONAL. An Avatar is a man who was born fully enlightened, with all noble qualities, but not necessarily perfect in every possible way. For example, very few (if any) of the recognized Avatars in human history taught or practiced veganism.
4. Because they may have been CONDITIONED by their family, society and/or religious organization over many years or decades. Unfortunately, we humans are very gullible. Due to low intelligence and lack of critical analytical skills, the typical person believes almost anything they read or hear from virtually any source. During a visit to one's local place of worship on any given weekend, one will notice a congregation of sheepish individuals nodding in agreement with practically every nonsensical, inane word spouted by their deluded so-called “priest”, imam, mullah, rabbi, guru, monk, or preacher. Even the current World Teacher, despite his genius intellect, was once a thoroughly-indoctrinated religious fundamentalist, before he awoke to a definitive understanding of life.
Having stated the above, the worship of the Personal Deity (“bhakti yoga”, in Sanskrit), is a legitimate spiritual path for the masses. However, the most ACCURATE understanding is monistic or non-dual (“advaita”, in Sanskrit). If one wishes to be even more pedantic, the ultimate understanding is beyond even the concept of nonduality, as the famous South Indian sage, Śri Ramana Maharishi, once so rightly proclaimed.
As an aside or adjunct, it seems that virtually every religious organization, particularly those originating in Bhārata (India), claims to have been founded by an Avatar, but that’s simply wishful thinking on the part of their congregations. Only a great sage or World Teacher can POSSIBLY recognize an enlightened being, what to speak of an Incarnation of the Divine. The typical spiritual aspirant, even one who may seem to be a highly-exalted practitioner, has very little idea of what constitutes actual holiness. Frankly speaking, many famous (infamous?) religious leaders were some of the most vile and contemptible characters in human history, particularly in this Epoch of Darkness (“Kali Yuga”, in Sanskrit).

Glory to God you truly blessed❤
John Lennox has so lucidly and succinctly explored and exposed the topic of discussion from his christian perspective, he deserves ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
God has revealed Himself to you.🙏

thanks f0r the image 0f Ienny fumbIing with his tr0users
We will live for 70, 80 , 90 plus years if we are lucky but will spend thousands and millions of years dead so it is worthwhile to pursue God , to find out if what Christ said was true.

Dr. Lennox is one of my favorite apologists. His thinking is (in my view) very clear, concise and incisive.
He is a very honest man which shows through and he gets it....he believes in truth and christian bible principles....I can listen all night...he is right about the church and does not lie or cover up....I so miss this honesty...it makes me lonely to not hear the truth. His grasp of the cosmological argument is fabulous....we need hard copy before we cannot get it online.....
Wao...what a great evangelist!
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, my Master and Saviour, for sending Prof. John Lennox to lecture that God so loved the world, evangelism unequaled 😊❤
Understanding the life and teachings of Jesus Christ is still a force for good for every Christian who truly live it, not necessarily for the whole world. But at least reasonably believing in God still fare better than the total absence of God in every dumb or intelligent scientists, politicians or rich men, who easily degrade into idiots savages prone to violence.
you do realise jesus wrote nothing, not even "my dad can beat up your dad"?> right?
and despite all the miracle claims no one wrote them down AS THEY OCCURRED, they waited at least ten years after he was dead to make up these stories?
no one has a clue what jesus said, did or thought.
and christianity is based on a bloke having a hallucination he saw a dead bloke he NEVER MET.
it's tosh.
Simply awesome 👏
Few probably heard of this wonderful gentleman in the US but I am glad I found him. We have a great online Bible study group that meets every Thursday night on Yuck Tube. So happens that some of our group also listens to Mr. Lennox. Because he is far more knowledgeable of the scripture than 99% of US pastors we enjoy him. Our leader Dr. Randy White is in the same class as this excellent man. Note should anyone look up our class our leader has a shaved head and face. There’s several others with his same name in the Bible study business however none of them are like him. Most are Kingdom now Covent Theology, we are Pauline Grace gospel which is not popular and never has been but its more literal and true to the text
God is relevant in all our situations and circumstances... As His word says " In Him we live, we move and have our being." Acts 17: 28❤
how? since when has god presided over ANY court case? since when has god's rules been used in court? humans do all the work, every case it looked at on it's own merit, god does nothing, not a thing. and jesus didn't write anything, you need to realise that you're quoting someone who invented what they thought jesus ought to have said.
Man made court not God. The Bible is God's word
God is only relevant to those who know Him for those that refuse to know God they are basically living a hopeless life full of selfishness and pride and always have something missing in their lives and it's so obvious when you see those who have all the money and fame yet are unsatisfied and over dose on drugs. Science itself is faith based because you have to have faith that the future will behave like the past so those who believe in naturalism are amongst the dumbest living today
to who did God say this....haha.And I'd I ask an Indian Christian he can think of God only as on man n that's Jesus....haha

Very fair and balance point of view.....it strengthen the belief of the existence of God. Thank you Sir!
I am truly grateful that I have come across with this recording. this has changed my thinking completely. thank you Dr Lennox
mashed your brain eh? he's like that with his droning voice, might help with insomnia, not so much with morals.
Wonderfully Wonderful Dynamic Heavenly Given Lecture About God JESUS
Christ Amen
one of the best speakers i've heard so far. Great detail and very informative.
We are relevant. John Lennox gives us reason to believe in God and present the Gospel.
Hallelujah. Praise be to God in Jesus's name. Amen ! ❤
What an example of a waste of language: 9 words without sense and most probably even without meaning to the rest of the world.
Thank you Dr John Lennox for sharing your faith in such a beautiful way. See you in Heaven.
Wonderful lecture
An amazing presentation that should be at least required if not offered in every Public and private School, Institution of Higher Learning and Political Party.
Such a powerful answer to the final question... How does Christianity differ from other religion. God be bless you John!
Prof. John Lennox you made my day God Bless you
Another great talk by John Lennox.
Hmmm look n witness wisdom from this man indeed he knows who GOD is n he has received the wisdom of THY CREATOR THBE GOD ALMIGHTY. GOD bless you MR Lennox
Belief does not equate with evidence but can be a powerful way to cope with reality.
its aIs0 kn0wn as seIf deIusi0n
and yeah, w0rks if y0u cann0t face truth
but it d0esn`t pr0ve anything
Nice to learn that a university professor believes in God. God is within each and every one of us, it’s just a matter of connecting with our inner self and one can realise that what we expected up in heaven was always within us.
Guru Granth Sahib the universal guru for the world gives answers to all human questions.
Wonderful talk by a wonderful man by our wonderful God.
Wonderful message may God bless you truly
This Professor speaks truth with logicsl information both mathematically sckentifically but most of all a Christian with spiritual beliefs Amen !!!❤
Faith and rationalism don't pair up very well, and that's for a good reason.. We have a spiritual existence, just another layer of us, so although we all have a spirit, you cannot put it in a test tube. But it's who you are in your deepest.self.

We need to 'clone' this amazing man ! Once again big thank you professor Lennox ! X :)
no we don't need anymore people like lennox, the world is in as bad a mess as wee need, religion isn't helping, people don't seem to notice that god hasn't changed anything for three thousand years and that it's science that's making the planet more habitable, despite the odd putin, who is orthodox isn't he? aren't there rules about killing people?
EVIL? Read your scripture in context and get the branch out.
I love seeing all these precious faces from different places than where I am.This is the first time I have seen/heard John Lennox & I'm so happy that the faith that is the only truth is making its way to these students in Hong Kong. The facts are the world is a worse place without God and the real Hope is in the *Certainty* of the forgiveness of sins that the Savior Jesus Christ won for us on the cross. He rose on the 3rd day. Our hope isn't that of the world's hope, e.g.,"I hope it rains". I pray God bless&keep Hong Kong U.

John, I'm so happy that you come to Hong Kong.
And the clever parasite probably departed with a load of money
A great preacher to the youth.
I so enjoy hearing John Lennox lecture and debate. He is so down to earth and passionate about his beliefs.
This speech gave me chills. Wow. Amazing.
FABULOUS!! HE ARTICULATES EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT TRUE SCIENCE.
What a wonderful, enlightening and edifying speech!
God Bless you John 🙏
I came across Dr John Lennox today and wow, his description of science and the blending of both GOD AND science is so powerful. He destroys other religions....JESUS CHRIST IS REAL!!!!
GOD IS GOOD, HE always raise up a man or woman in the right season to preach HIS WORD and make it easy for those who think they are intelligent. The WORD OF GOD IS SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGE SWORD.
Praise GOD SLMIGHTY❤❤❤
He's a brilliant man and has a vast experiences with God! May God bless all of us!
I have chosen and Will choose God is relevant for all my life time.
Great talk on God
Thanks Mr J . lennex
After God breaths life into you , your free agency permits you to determine that God is irrelevant, after you draw your last breath, that decision is irrelevant to God.
