I love your humor, your commitment to the Divine Text, and respect for Christian faith. Your insite on life issues which God precripted is most heart warming and hope giving.
I was just thinking the same thing as Francisco! Then I decided to make it a comment and I saw Francisco's comment. My grandfather died when I was very young. There is an element in him that should be in everybody's grandpa.
This guy is a pillar of knowledge and he is also quite humble and open to listening to another person's argument.You must however be prepared to lose as i am quite sure he will shred your argument to pieces.
I asked my 10 yr old kid the Question: "if you could only save your dog or a stranger, which would you choose?" He said: "duh the stranger. What kinda Q is that?!" 😂 we are a Christian family so I guess he's been paying attention haha
Dennis My father was a great Christian working for the Church all his life and smoked cigars unfortunately he died when he was 57. I on the other-hand am a Christian but don't smoke cigars and I am almost 70. Therefor I think God is the deciding Factor.
Don 't engage vergil arma. He is an angry dark soul!!! He is damaged and tries to use his faux intellect to denigrate everyone on this thread who believes in God. He is the epitome of Screwtape. You will never change his mind. He is lost. He is an arrogant, mean, person who enjoys attacking others. Please leave him alone to wallow in his emptiness.
@@jeanniebrodeur8872 I don't know who this guy is, but one thing I have learned is that there are two kinds of non-believers- There is the ordinary skeptic, and there is the mocker. Ordinary skeptics are great to talk to, and often they have points that we as believers should try to consider seriously. And you can shake their hand afterwards and say, "When you do want to come over for a board game?" Mockers, on the other hand, I honestly wouldn't give two cents or two seconds to anyone who is a mocker. And I see nowhere in the Old or New Testament that requires a believer in God to interact with a mocker. Thank you to both of you for the warning.
To an atheist, the life of a cockroach is more valuable than the life of a religious believing human being. Why? Because the cockroach does not spread lies that slow the progress of humankind.
"To an atheist, the life of a cockroach is more valuable than the life of a religious believing human being. Why? Because the cockroach does not spread lies that slow the progress of humankind." Christians are historically responsible for ending slavery. I would say that qualifies as "progress for humankind". Nice try, hater.
Adding to the "progress" list: half-naked, crude and lewd 'gays' parading down public streets, pop 'artists' gyrating ea other on stage, destruction of the institution of marriage, obliteration of family, babies out of wedlock, welfare states, surveiled societies, 57+ 'genders', confounding of words and meaning, China's "social credit", "my truth, your truth, there is no truth", 100's of Millions of babies murdered each and every year across the world. Yep. That's "progress" all right.
מְאֹד נַעֲלֵיתָ, עַל-כָּל-אֱלֹהִים. 9 For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; {N} Thou art exalted far above all gods. י אֹהֲבֵי יְהוָה, שִׂנְאוּ-רָע: שֹׁמֵר, נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו; מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים, יַצִּילֵם. 10 O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; {N}
I Pray that Denis Prager believes on The Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receives Him as the promised Messiah and Adonai of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 🙏✝️❤✝️⚓✝️
There are few human beings that have lived with an ORIGINAL MIND....Dennis Prager is in the same league with the greatest original thinkers of all time, like Maimonides, Aristotle, Ben Franklin, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, ....
@@philcoppa Well, it depends on the severity of the offense. If too many people find it too offensive, then that's good enough grounds to outlaw it in public, and keep it in private premises.
@@philcoppa Well, the people themselves. If a majority find that offensive, then they're gonna elect politicians who'll outlaw it. That's how most laws work. There's religious morality, but people also have a sense of morality. And if enough people find something too immoral or indecent or whatever, then they're gonna have that banned or restricted.
@@philcoppa The argument from a secular standpoint basically comes down to majority opinion and statistical averages, that's all. If the majority say that something is wrong, then it's wrong. If the majority say that something is right, then it's right. So from a 100% secular, godless standpoint, morality is simply what the majority says. Nothing more and nothing less. It begs all kinds of questions, I believe, but I won't waste time on those. We can figure them out for ourselves.
Totally agree'd with you until you put out the whole help Hitler drown thing... Because in the context in which it was used, it was supposed to be a time of teaching to a child, so for you to say that, I don't get it. It goes opposite from where the whole lesson is supposedly coming from. Instead of the right message of the importance of human life now it's changed to a "spectrum" Of worth of human life. I use that word because the left love it. If Hitler was drowning, all the more reason to make sure that you save him, as to face responsibilities for his crimes... Right? Stranger than that, the way he used it he said " Of course if Hitler was drowning you'd help him, help him and you'd save millions of lives... So is it not save him bc he's a obviously disgusting murderous human, but still a human.... Or bc of the context that was given he hadn't committed any crimes yet, against anyone, but bc of a version of history that you "know" To be true kill this human. If in fact in this "what if" dimension he is using to make this story, if Hitler was still innocent, wouldn't you want to save him and try to change his mind? Or save him and just kidnap him and lock him up... I know there's ppl right now that want to kill me. I'm not defending Hitler. I'm listening to this guy, couple videos now, he seems normal. Good moral compass. Like maybe take some of his stuff and use it with my kids... But before anyone gets mad.. Seriously go back and listen to it again for yourself. With a contradiction of that magnitude, I wonder if this guy is some kinda pretend turncoat conservative.. Or something else weird out there. People are so nuts these days it's hard to keep up with it
I get what you are saying. And I can see why what Prager said could be construed as a "spectrum of human life" argument. Most people I know would be strongly against the "spectrum" argument for that very reason- we don't want to rate or rank human life. I think what it shows is the disdain that Jews (rightfully) have for Nazism, in that what they did to the Jews was so horrific that the Jews would love nothing more than to hand out punishment themselves for what Hitler did. I'm not arguing that it is right, but if you were in their position, who's to say you wouldn't think and feel the same way? I am glad that you posted what you did, as while I found Prager's comment funny, after reading what you said, it did make me think that maybe that isn't the right move to make. Thank you. I am not being sarcastic when I say that. Thank you.
