12 Tough Qs on God and the Bible 

It was a blast having you with us in Singapore. Big thanks for equipping the youth in our church!

Right off the bat this is very interesting to listen to with all the "Wow!" Cheers from the crowd. It's cool to listen to overall cultural differences. You would not hear that at all in the West.

Sweetest students ever. They were so thoughtful, open, and enthusiastic to learn. A wonderful mixture of intellect and childlike faith. I Love them. ❤ Also, thank you for giving such great answers and connecting with them so much. You and your dad have such a gift for that.

Sean thank you so much for coming to Heart of God Church! Was a pleasure to hear! We have many young people at our church who learnt so much from you! They were very much equipped😊 We hope you see you again in Singapore soon😌 - Blake👟

To see the joy on these students faces from Singapore is truly amazing. Imagine how many years it took for faithful Christian Missionaries to take the Gospel to this part of the world. The Holy Spirit is always at work to draw people to Christ.

Thank you Sean for coming all the way to speak to us, I was struck by how you answered so many questions with clarity and compassion. I caught how it's more important to get to the heart of why someone is asking something, rather than trying to persuade or convince them. If it's the truth, that's convincing in itself. Pure gold! I left your sharing feeling more empowered as a Christian, and greatly inspired to seek God's thoughts and point of view about different areas that we care about deeply in society today.

This audience was fantastic!!!!

Lol. I loved the audiences reactions. You go sean preach that brother! I love it!

WOW this is a fantastic 1 hour to listen to, over and over! Where was this event? This is so relevant and needs to be shared so please everyone spread this message!! Thank you to those who organized it, thank you for these thoughtful critical questions and thank you Sean for your teaching through your thoughtful, powerful answers. Blessings to you all, WOW

“Evil is parasitic to good.” Good point.

What a great conversation! I am 63 and have been listening to apologists for years. And, yet, there was so much to take from this exchange.

I’m so glad I listened to this. A clear, authoritative set of answers. So much to learn here!

Sean, I think YOU ARE A MASTER Communicator!!!! I so appreciate this, and ALL of your posts!

What an engaged crowd. Listen to them ooo and ahhhhh. It sounds like a track in the backround lol. Love it! They are really interested !

This man has brought me so much closer to Christ and I thank both him and Christ well I guess and his parents lol.

Thank you Sean for the truths!! Glad to have you over that weekend and really impacted by the sharing and just seeing perspectives!

What a joyful encounter. Good job buddy! I appreciate your sensitivity, whimsy and thoughtfulness.

Love the insights and energy in this Q&A session! Thanks for clearly addressing questions on the minds of young people. Haven’t had so much fun watching an apologetics video, thanks Sean!

This is fantastic. Love the questions and the very clear and concise replies!

It is so beautiful to see that the God who created us desires us to know him. At the core of many of these questions is, I can see evil/wrong all around me, is there a solution? He put a reservoir in us of questions to respond to how he has reached out to us. God was never distant, but instead he became one like us, Emanuel. He desires that we see Him for who he is in His goodness, and to pray "as it is in heaven" it would be here on earth. Our deepest questions and longings are met by him. As God spoke to Jeremiah, "If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me" (Ch 29). Jesus says that he is the ultimate answer. He makes the claim that truth isn't subjective, or just a philosophy or religion, but that truth is a person. That Christ the messiah came to be like one of us, Emanuel, to show us his new life.

This man's explanation and answers to these questions is on another level. I am thankful I came across this and watched. God bless you, sir.

I love this! Brings back so many fun memories of Christian retreats with my fellow Internationals in college.

Oh my gosh...these students are so interesting...the "ooooh" and "ahhhhh" from the audience is so sweet and unusual for Americans. Love it.

Wow! it's outstanding in the way he answers these questions! God bless you and your family.❤

This is to the next level. Thank you for sharing. Honestly mind blowing

Well thought out questions and answers. Sean is so solid. And what a wonderful and enthusiastic audience.

Wow, I absolutely loved this. The questions were good, and the answers were well understood. Thank you for sharing this Sean, and hope you share the other one that you were doing the next day. 😊

I love this thank you. And the live soundtrack of sound effects and affects are priceless !!

Just listened to your awesome sermon at CCF this morning on good and evil. Praise to Yah!

It’s so helpful to hear this information! Thank you

Thank you so much Sean. I am learning a lot from you. God is really using you to help the next generation of Christians. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your family ❤

Thank you and Gratitude and Honor for ATTENDING UNTO OUR OWN! Love ye all Too! Remember what is a conversation without another? Together can uplift one another. For HE is lifted up! Likewise will draws all Men. My beautiful will say

The crowd reaction was priceless 😂 so cute I love it

So much respect to Sean for answering questions that sound trivial but important for some people. I wish he would be able to talk to my dear husband who has so many difficult questions that i don't think i could ever answer.

Mr. Sean God Bless you!!! This was so great! If you’re ever in New Orleans please let me know where and what event!

Great series of questions. Huge blessing to see so many college kids, and even a demographic that historically came fro a different culture and religious heritage, want to know God's heart and Jesus....

Sean explains the good-evil concept really well, in relationship to moral truth, objective truth, and a moral and objective truth-giver!‼️👊🏼

I love this! The questions were fun, and the answers were fundamental. So much covered in one sitting! Thanks for sharing this and yes… Tobey Mcguire holds a special place in my books for being the OG Spiderman!

loved the session!! filled with insights, truth and a lot of laughter!! didn't know apologetics could be this fun too!

What a blessing to watch you with this group it greatly encourages me❤ to

Amazing explanation of what evil is. Holy Spirit talking!

Thanks, this is great

Just love Sean! I could listen and talk with him all day given the chance. Would have loved to have him as a teacher.

Simple, brings things back to what Christianity really is. Listening, respect and having the confidence that God has the answers.

Sean is my model apologist. I love these answers.

I love how reactive the crowd is! Great job, Sean!!!

Impossible to say how much I got out of this!

I love how interactive they are!

I was just this morning talking to God about His righteous judgements, and my need to do the same, as Jesus commanded.

The crowd literally anytime Sean McDowell says something 😮😮😮😵😵😵🤩🤩🤩

new subs for you sir.i am only a security guard sir who personally seen and admire for that Q&A portion and i am very praise to hear you in person at ccf.

This guy has the greatest crowd ever. Oooooh Aaaaaahhh , so responsive 😂😊 I love that.

Everyone needs Jesus!

So that means a lie is “truth decay.”

Wow! I was truly inspired by the depth of insight and clarity in this Q&A session. All of the responses were thoughtful and articulate. Thank you Sean for this enlightening session.

“You can’t love someone unless you put yourself in a position to be vulnerable, to be hurt.” I like that. Does that mean that when I come out as trans to another Christian, I’m loving them? Because chances are very, very good that they will hurt me - sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.

Fantastic

At first I was thinking “what’s up with this crowd ooohing, awing and wowing after everything Sean says?” That was very unusual to me. Then I saw this was filmed in Singapore 🇸🇬 and I totally understood. Great people.!

Felt like i was in student! What an incredible audience to eager to learn

I love the people of Singapore! My wife is a Nonya from Malacca. Singapore is one of those special places where people of many religions get along in peace. It's good for Christians to go deep in their faith, to know their scriptures, their history, and ask the most meaningful questions. Be the best Christian you can be. I'm a Baha'i and therefor I love Jesus and am thankful that God sent Him to revive the souls of men 2,000 years ago.

I watched this twice. Twice. And about to do it a third time to take notes.

Hey Sean, new to your channel- the question “who made God” caught my eye When I am defending His existence, I can say “it had to be God, because something (i.e., our perfect and harmonious creation and existence) can’t come from nothing” Something can’t come from nothing -but then again, I could ask the same about God. Is that reframing still a categorical fallacy? I am asking not to try to disprove God, but rather strengthen my understanding so I can answer tough questions if I’m asked. Thank you 🙏 looking forward to exploring more of your content!

I 100 percent have felt the lord.....Watched tongue interpretation

Great to have such discussion. Decisions for Christ should be done quickly. People do die and get sick and in woes very quickly too. Accept the gift of God do not need weeks, just like trusting a person. What if we trust the wrong person? Then too bad. Don't we have some sense?

what did Sean make of the audience's Oooos and Aaaaaas....got to love it

Wow I know this church Heart of God Church in Singapore! Always wondered about these questions... super insightful, dispelled a lot of my doubts and I'm curious to know more. Will you do more videos on topics like how does the Bible explain fossil records and if the Exodus story is real?

Love the Q & A format. Sean is great and has a well-developed Xian worldview. That said what is going on with the audience? Their oows and aahs come across as genuinely as the audience in an infomercial😮 Strangest culture in a church I’ve seen, and I grew up in a Pentecostal church.😮

I L-O-V-E this!!!!!

Hi Sean, brother when you coming to Cape Town SA to do a Q&A with young people in this country….. please

Is this in Singapore? How could I have missed this if it is?!!

I understand all these concepts, and yes I have not listened to the end. But I want to know when or if we should fight back with weapons or no weapons while we actively try to save our homeland. Should we just let ourselves be taken hostage? What is the real story of our past in America? What was the black robe regiment? I'm always wondering what we should do or not do.

I don't know know if the video is better or worse with everyone saying "Aaah" all the time💀

The audience is really vocal

If you truly want to answer tough questions, talk to Pinecreek Doug.

Is there an added "aww" track in the background?

Where was this recorded..?. I missed that part.

Totally great stuff, but I do have to ask a clarifying question. You said that we will be re-embodied in heaven. Is this what you meant, or was this shorthand? Do you believe that heaven is the eternal home of believers, or the new united heavens and earth?

Book of Kings :8:26 and 2nd Chronicles:22:2 2nd Kings:24:8 and 2nd Chronicles :36:9 Deutronomy:24:61 and Book of Exodus:20:5 2nd Samuel:6:23 and 2nd Samuel:21:8 Gospel of Mathew:1:16 and Gospel of Luke:3:23

Facts

"Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

❤️

I’ve asked that question in your comments before regarding why Christians aren’t pro choice considering they’d be better off going straight to heaven rather than taking their chances with this life. You can make light of the question all you want but the fact remains, this view is still more merciful than a God that would throw them into eternal torment.

What blue taste like? _"paint."_

Hope you write a book about Jesus and Paul questions they answered

i hope and pray sir that you woudn't ignore me.i am not a christian but u admire you did and preparing to apply in my personal life.

Very bold statement right off the get go Shawn… why would Faith be required if you can know with absolute certainty that Christianity is true? You can’t know… You can only believe it to be,, The only people who could have ever known where the people that walked with Jesus and that’s it… everyone else has to believe it by faith because they can’t go back in time! That’s the truthful answer, and Shawn you can’t know it to be true…

I need help understanding the slavery versus its hard for me to accept this.

38:23 "Was your dog a Christian?" "Some people are like dogs!" "Does God have a soulmate for us" "NO, he doesn't" HAHAHAHA

very good video and very interesting! However, there is one aspect I do disagree on (not anything big but curious as to what your response would be - because I have heard many many preachers use the same reasoning you did so I very well could be wrong but seems logically to me that I am right so please clear it up for me if you don't mind) On the part about dogs or other animals being in heaven - I have heard many many preachers say something to the affect of "animals cant repent of their sins" Logically to me it seems that it is an issue of apples and oranges because in the garden Adam broke God's law and ate of the fruit and brought sin upon man kind. The animals didn't sin they "rode Adam's coat tails into the fall because they fell under the curse. To me logically Animals even when they do "bad" they are innocent of sin I would think that is why God used them as sacrifices in the old testament because that was a picture of the innocent dying for the guilty a for shadowing of Jesus being sinless and dying for the guilty when He became the perfect sacrifice - so the issue of sin and animals would be a mute point or so seems to me. So logically it seems to me the way animals rode the first Adam's coat tails into the fall they would ride the 2nd Adam's coat tails OUT of the fall. Also there is a verse in Ecclesiastes 3:14 kjv " I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." Now I know it is very easy to take verses out of context but I think this verses can stand on its own. Whatsoever is like Whosoever it is all inclusive and it says Whatsoever God doeth it shall be forever - well God created the animals and that little spark that makes fluffy or Spot individual is JUST as much a part of God's creation as it's body and if WHATSOEVER God doeth is forever that seems to indicate that the spark in the animals is "forever" as well. Also as far as loving an animal there is an example in the Bible that a lot of people look over - 2 Samuel KJV "But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter." this verse describes a pet down to a "T" and it said "It was unto him as a DAUGHTER. And the same punishment to the rich man was going to be given as if he had killed the poor man's actual daughter - DEATH by David who even though was guilty of terrible things was still a man after God's own heart! So this is just a handful or reasons but I have a load of Bible that seems to indicate to me anyway that animals mean more than what most people realize. Anyway I will stop there because this is getting long but again great video and I enjoyed watching it. Also your answer I do agree with as far as God possibly rewarding with the pet I just didn't know if you ever considered the verses I just mentioned and how they might work in with the whole situation.

Regarding animals, they are important to God because it was in the Jewish law to treat them humanely.

Loved the questions and answers, but the ohs and ahs were a bit much. What is that about?

My Heirs Hosts and my Beautiful Scientists remind...unto all the Who am I...scientists? Given space and from here grows and came with time given from the True Owner.

Lol. I’m Tobey McGuire all the way 😂

I have a question. How can we say Jesus lived a sinless life if several years of his life are unknown?

I do Sean is one of the better apologists but this is all done in front of a group of “yes men.”

15:00 if someone considers the Bible irrelevant because it's thousands of years old, then ask them if they will be relevant 100 years grom now. Do their own beliefs have an expiration date?

1st Corinthians 2:9,BUT AS IT IS WRITTEN, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM. Pertaining to our pets in heaven, rather the new heaven and new earth, there are going to be animals, so I believe that there is a huge possibility that He will have our pets there with us and not only new ones no one knows. Don't know that for a fact, but it did enter into my heart, years ago since I seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and have read my King James bible only for 28 years and not missing 10 days in 24 to 25 years.

The Bible has already established that Horses are in Heaven.

Remours of war? I guess some folk might look forward to Armageddon and immortality. But the World is freeer, safer and more prosperous than any ever ... Just look at rhe wonderful audience having fun and enjoying this show.

Where's all the oohs and ahhs when he starts talking about moral purity in a marriage?😂
