The magicians of Moses’ and Pharoah’s time mimicked some of the miracles Moses showed Pharaoh when he asked to let his people go. Satan does have power too.
Maintain morality without spiritual accountablility: sounds like my daughters.
Last part: Joel Osteen – I’m looking at you.
Wow ,really?
The gospel I would say is the main message of the Bible, it is the work of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and what He did on the cross for all of humanity.
Despite the efforts of any person, we cannot earn our way to heaven, Romans 3:23 says: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Anyone can examine themselves and know that even though yes sometimes we can do good, we also do evil at times, we commit moral crimes, we rebel against God, or as known otherwise we sin. We lie, we steal, we blaspheme God, we can lust and have hate for our brother in our heart, these are just some of the sins more than likely every person on earth has committed. God is loving, holy and God is merciful among other attributes but He is also just, perfectly just. Like any crime sin has to be punished, if God did not punish sin then He would be unjust, He would be corrupt, someone has to take the punishment. Romans 6:23 says: "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord". This is talking about spiritual death, not physical death, if you die in your sins then you go to hell. There is good evidence that humans have souls, near death experiences are one of those evidences. There is a part of you that lives on past your physical body.
God sent His only Son to earth about 2000 years ago, His Son is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the promised Savior of the world, He fulfilled hundreds of prophecies by coming to our world. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and was crucified on the cross as a payment for our sins. God poured out His wrath on Jesus in our place, meaning the justice of God is satisfied and sin is punished. While we were still at enmity with God, God still wants to save us, Romans 5:8 says: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us". 3 days after Jesus was crucified He rose again proving that His payment was enough and that He was who He said He was, the Son of God. There is real world evidence for the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, this is not just a nice story.
Scripture tells us to repent and put our trust in Jesus, to follow Him as Lord. Repentance means a change of mind which means to turn from a life following sin to a life following Christ. Salvation is a free gift and it cannot be earned, no one can be perfectly moral on their own, it is impossible, this is the only way to be in the presence of God in heaven. It is important to reiterate that we cannot save ourselves, it is the gift of God for one to be saved. Cry out to God to have mercy on you, plead with God to save you. Ephesians 2:8-9 says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works so that no one may boast". Salvation is a gift.
There is no other way, Jesus Himself said that He is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but through Him. Jesus is not just a way, a truth or a life. Romans 10:9 says: "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved."
It must be nice to be able to change the narrative from question to question. The thing is faith…. faith isn’t fact faith is I hope we have food tomorrow real is I put food on my table
I find Frank Turek to be closed-minded in regards to other belief systems that channel God’s truth and deny other paths that lead to God. I need Jesus in my life is I’m trying to understand how to approach my faith and belief in him as it’s a struggle, currently reading for The Bhagavad Gita that helps me to understand the science of the soul that maintains a rational and truth I can’t deny. The Bible is confusing to me as there is no theology…the New Testament profound though to call the Bible inerrant is difficult to contend with.
His Mormon Gold Plates miracle comment is embarrassing, and wilfully false. There are innumerable recorded miracles associated with the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints…how about the appearance of God the Father and Jesus, the preservation and delivery of the Plates by an angel, the translation of the record by the power of God, the restoration of priesthood authority bestowed personally by ancient prophets and apostles, new scriptures and revelations to modern prophets….the list is almost endless. Miracles are available to any person of faith of any religion, but the fact that the Book of Mormon exists and anyone can open its pages and test it’s truth is the testable witness of its miraculous origin.
2:58 totally misunderstood and wrong definition of Karma.Sadhguru released a whole book on Karma recently.I think Mr Frank needs one.Based his definition of Karma,I’m sorry to say…he is clueless.
Sometimes he gives respectable and intellectual responses. But this was poor. This lacked scholarship. And he obviously doesn’t know much about Mormonism lol.
His answer was essentially, "oh well, people claim there are miracles outside of Christianity? Well that conflicts with my beliefs so it must be wrong."
Me: what religion are you?
Person: Oh that’s easy, I am a Sexian
Miracles are made by God, not Religions, and God can do what he pleases… that’s why is God.
Can someone answer the question why the Qur’an has so many scientific miracles? When I discuss with a Muslim he always says that the Koran has so many miracles that happen nowadays and such things can only come from God
Did he just say all converting to Buddhism are morally unaccountable ?
WOW
That’s an easy one. Can those miracles be repeated, or is that the only one that was ever recorded? Followers of Yeshua got tons of them and they pile up more and more as time passes.
*"When resurrection, walking on water, parting the Red Sea, splitting the moon & other fake stuff are used to fool & indoctrinate the gullible emotional folks to believe an imaginary God & his prophet/ son/ saviour/ book are sacred, the dogma causes them motivated ignorance while defending the sacredness."*
my religion is better than yours always wins the argument
150 years after the fact isn’t an eye witness lol.
When he accuses people who believe in different faiths of avoiding accountability, he’s actually projecting his own shadow onto them. Because Christianity is all about dodging accountability; Jesus died for your sins, and you can avoid accountability and consequence if you believe in Him obey the Bible’s commandments. But if you sin afterwards, don’t worry, he’ll forgive you of those sins, too. Just be sure that you feel really bad about yourself, and perceive yourself as a worthless dog that needs soul saving.
I got enormous respect for Mr Frank. Even though I am not a Christian and don’t believe in Christ dying to save people and trinity….etc.
Guys, Christianity has taken over the world with Western Civilization, in Jesus´ legacy of University-based education. Turek is good for some things, but Jesus´ legacy needs to be recognized and expanded. His language of "steal from God" is legitimate if there´s a competitive attack. The issue now with University-based society, post-colonial economic globalization, and UN human rights and sustainability community in dialogue with other religions. A lot more interfaith Christian insight is called for, not just Christian supremacism.
The Buddha, incidentally, developed brilliant insights like the Four Noble Truths. Jesus´ teachings and life, mission, message, etc have led to modern University-based society etc, where it´s time for Christians to "seek the Kingdom of Heaven" Matt 6, and "go and learn" Matt 9:13. It´s not the OT anymore. Nor is Christianity in any doubt about what it has accomplished. It is in need of integrity and insight into God´s love to love thy neighbor, and thy enemy. It´s also as Paul taught, "Test all things, and hold on to what is good", 1 Thess 5.
Baphomet was a transgender "god" that children were sacrificed to. Nothing new under the sun.
You ask for evidence from other religions but accept your religions miracles on poor evidence
Siddhartha Gautama (BUDDHA) would track down abusive father of Jesus and make him explain why he was putting his son through human sacrifice. According to BUDDHA, sacrifice of animal or humans are barbaric and its outdated system. HE came to stop it.
Church…Motivational talks lol. Been there
The funny this is about the comparison to Buddha and Jesus is… Buddha consistently denied his deity. Jesus did not. Maybe there was some miraculous light after he died, so what? Doesn’t prove he’s a god.
1:50 – Islam, difference between Hadith and Quran
2:12 – Mormonism
2:31 and 3:40 – Buddha and the light. Ask, “What do you mean by that? How did you come to that conclusion?”
There are many wonders outside of Christianity and in catholicism as well as spiritists, Did not Jesus Paul and others tell us beforehand there will be miracles, wonders, false profits, Worse and also God himself will send strong delusion to those who refuse to receive the love of the truth, Listen, The thing as well all those that chased miracles and followed Jesus fell away when he starting to speak of deny oneself picking up the cross and the like
In the beginning was the Dharma, and the Dharma was with Brahman, and the Dharma was Brahman.
The correct question, as you said, sir: "What evidence do you have for that?" I ask the same of you and the assertions made in your bible.
We ALL fall short of the glory of God because we are sinners deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (it’s the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus willingly died on the cross for all our sins and rose from the dead three days later! That we may have eternal life with Him if we repent (to turn away from our sinful life and turn to Jesus Christ the Lord our God) and trust in Him (that He will save us ONLY because of what He did on the cross, we are saved by grace through faith)!!! And don’t wait because either because you do not know when you will die (just really think about that, you have NO CLUE when you will die! it’s could be tonight in your sleep or even in the NEXT HOUR!) That’s why God is calling you RIGHT NOW today to receive the gift of salvation!!!l
This man of God is teaching me stuff I never knew. Like karma. Wow never looked at it that way. You must have a moral lawgiver somewhere that keeps track of all your wrongs and right. The universe can suddenly judge good or bad
Some non Christians ask for evidence but not written or historical they dont think u can prove the resurrection actually happened. I told a friend the bible contains 300 prophesies and dozens of eye witness accounts of Jesus resurrection. But he said that isn’t real evidence – he wanted physical proof! ??? Any advice?
Dealing with "mormonism" comment, that is not the miracle they claim
“If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:14 GNT
There is not a single person in the human history who has done more miracles than Prophet Muhammed.
You say that Muhamed didnt do any miracles according to the Quran, but you mention only the first part of the story and the beginning of the mission of prophethood of Muhamed and it is then that he was telling them that he was not sent to do miracles. BUT when they started to insist on miracles, then he preformed many miracles in front of many people, and these miracles are mentioned in the Quran and most of them in the hadith. You say that these miracles were attributed to him 150 years after him, but you forget to mention that they all go back to the prophet himself by unbroken chain of narrations, something that we cannot even dream about the bible.
Miracles are from 4 sources;
God,Angels,Jinn and man of God(Prophet)
This man has clearly never read any scripture outside of the one he grew up with.
And at 4:45 – I’ve met dozens of Christians that started and maintain their faith whether they retain morals and ethics according to their religions or not. That "bingo" was simply dismissing this woman’s new found beliefs without getting her truth straight.
All ‘miracles’ in other religions are done by the devil.
The biggest issue with cristian apologetics is that any argument against god it is followed by "you steal from god"
This type of arrogance and ignorance is one of the many reasons why i left christianity. The claims of high spiritual morality among Christians, but nothing to back up the claims, in fact, the opposite normally happens, with passing the buck. Its really hard to take these supposed pastors and leaders seriously. I left christianity for buddhism, partially because of all this immorality and unspiritual attitudes masquerading as their opposite.
Moses getting the commandments is a miracle and no one saw that
There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ miracles.
Miracle-working is a near universal theme among major religious figures. There are thousands of them across religions. But yours are the real miracles? Figures. That’s what they all say.
Yes, 4:45ish Very true. Been there, done that. Went down that road for a loooong time and finally woke up and saw I was just trying to find religion that fit my own desires (compatibility) versus deep seated, true belief.
To believe in free will is a sin.
