Part 2: How to Completely Refute Atheism: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cv6JHGfB9Sk.html

Pastor Jeff about your early days God , from the foundation of this Earth has chosen set us aside even before you accepted Christ or made your proclamation you were his.

thank you jeff for posting these videos! i have learned allot from watching your videos !! i have watched many of your videos and by watching your videos my passion for apolgetic and the unsaved has increased,

57:38

What is it about this man that people hate? I think compared to preachers who flaunt their riches and proclaim false prophecies, he's way better? I don't see anything wrong also with being an apologetic because his disciples at some point needed to defend the faith while preaching the gospel...

How does Jeff tell the difference between a) a correctly-identified revelation from an all-knowing, always-honest god and b) an incorrectly identified one? That's the problem - the buck stops with Jeff's perception whether or not there is an all-knowing, always-honest god.

Pastor Jeff is awesome, and you should listen "pity the fool",

Appreciate your work this how I now u have faith, God Bless

Amazing teaching!

Actually, neither the word nor the concept of Trinity is in the Bible. The concept was slowly evolved by early Church fathers from Subordination, to Modalism to Trinity. It was finally enacted in Christian Faith in 381 CE. This is because some of the early Church Fathers did not understand the idioms or the language used in Aramaic in the time of Jesus (Peace be upon him). This concept of deification of Jesus (Peace be upon him) started very early - generation right after Polycarp. On the Day of Judgement, the early Church Fathers will not come to rescue. God gave us brain to think, ponder and find out the truth. God sent thousands of Prophets and Messengers and they all taught the mankind that God is One and Only One. There is only One God not three in One. Exodus 20:1-3 And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. Deuteronomy 5:7 You shall have no other gods before Me. Luke 4:8 Jesus answered, It is written: Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. (John 17:3) "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John: 20:17) Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Quran 20:14 Indeed, I am Allah. There is no other god except Me. So, worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance. Qur'an 21:92 "...I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore, serve Me (and no other)..." Qur'an 2:163 "And your Allah is One Allah: There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." Quran: (5:73) They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them. Quran: (5:72) They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. Quran 20: 14 Indeed, I am Allah. There is no other god except Me. So, worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance. Quran 21:25 And We sent not before you (O Muhammad) any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me." God revealed the following verse in regard to the factions of Christians who fought each other of having differing views after Jesus and the Disciples left the earth And God knows best. Quran (2:253) Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.

At 41:47 he says that Jesus addresses the issue if genocide in scripture. Could someone please provide some scripture references so I can review them?

Where can I find that book you read at Starbucks?

Triune God- I tried to visualize that concept in my mind. To be able to explain it to others if they ask me. I think a lot of people and even teachers have trouble explaining it. How do we explain the old estimate statements that state things like "there is only One" then put the concept of Jesus's deity or the Holy Ghost in a model they can relate to when Jesus was praying to the Father? If you are going to explain it, an example of a Commit might help. You see this heavenly body streaking through the sky you look up and say "what is that?" You realize it is a commit. (It has one nature acting as the whole) When you look closer it you ask what does it consist of? Dust, Ice, Rock... 3 individual parts of the same thing with a nature working in concert.

Not only this. JESUS said upon this rock I will build MY church, and the gates of hell will not prevail. And you have two or more in HIM, HE will walk among you. The devil is supposed to take a beating from the church. Shalom and Agape.

TELLING somebody they need Jesus is pointless unless you DEMONSTRATE that they need Jesus. That is, demonstrate that 1. There is a hell, 2. There is a Jesus, and 3. Faith in the latter keeps one out of the former. And by "demonstrate" I don't mean "quote the Bible" - the Bible MAKES the claim, it is not evidence FOR the claim.

43:00 is misquoted, its Romans 1:20

YES **I have a question... what what you think yuor a christian?

I'll help you. Doctrine and Covenants 130:22 The Father hath a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's.

wait...what about Lutheran Methodist Episcopal Congregational etc!?!?! lol

EXODUS 6 : 3 , ISAIAH 12 : 2 , ISAIAH 26 : 4 , PSALAMS 83 : 18 ... THE SUPREME GOD OF THE UNIVERSE IS ...( JEHOVAH ) AND HIS SON IS , JOHN 17 : 3 , JOHN 20 : 17 .. JESUS ...

1John 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

Presenting evidence for God is not playing neutral. I love Jeff. But the transcendental argument for God, is evidence for God. And all the arguments for God strengthen my faith in God. No one can Escape giving evidence for God. The transcendental argument for God's existence doesn't lead you to the guy the Bible. Just because presuppositionalist say it does, it doesn't they are going to have to give other evidences for the God of the Bible once they establish that there is a God. Even though I know that the atheist know that exist already. The Bible affirms itself. It is self attesting.

Ads every 5 minutes.

There are so many passages that explain how a righteous man can lose his salvation. I like your videos but I have to question if you believe in the false doctrine of "once saved always saved" -- I mean, even in the Old Testament we see references to the loss of salvation... *"But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die." Ezekiel **18:24** ✞*

Can u recommend me books to read to defend my faith as a new believer

Love love love this sermon! I'm new to this type of Apologetics. I have one question, is there a focus at all on sanctification???🤗

who taught jeff apologetics?

How did Durbin determine with certainty that god hasn't fooled him into thinking he's certain about things that are false?

Wierd edit around 59:00

Why have faith when you can have proof?

There's a fine line between arguing vs defending. I love all your videos but wonder at times when you personally know when you have to just pull the cord on an argument and not go against scripture?

I'm sorry but Jeff makes a not quite true statement right at the start. (or at least after all the introduction and personal history stuff, beginning at 32:00). Jeff says, "I have a revelational epistemology." Wrong. What Jeff has is a "because the Bible says so" epistemology. It is a lie, or at least a completely unproven claim, that god has revealed anything to you. Jeff was never a Christian until Billy Graham read the Bible to him on T.V. That's _not_ the same as a divine being coming to you and revealing something directly to you. The key to a "because the Bible says so" epistemology is to demonstrate that your source (the Bible) is reliable. And we know in the year 2016 that it is a very _unreliable_ source for knowledge about the actual, physical world. Then he gets completely disgusting at 40:00 when he claims that only believers are allowed to be upset about death. He literally says that mourning death belongs to only Christians. That is the most tribal, dehumanizing B.S. I've heard in a long time. If you love your mother and she dies you are allowed to be sad, even if you are not a Christian, no matter what Jeff Durbin says. When 8,000 Bosnian Muslisms are wiped out in an attempt of genocide and ethnic cleansing by their Christian neighbors... you are allowed to be upset by it even if you're a "lowly" non-believer.

The act of murder is rampant in the Bible. In much of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, there are laws that command that people be killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay, cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night. In addition to these crazy and immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of God’s irrationality by his direct killing of many people for reasons that defy any rational explanation such as killing children who make fun of bald people, and the killing of a man who tried to keep the ark of God from falling during transport. There are also countless examples of mass murders commanded by God, including the murder of women, infants, and children.

If Jesus existed then it has to be history. And history means evidence. So lets have the evidence . I am waiting.

Hi! Just wanted to jump in. God has not called us to defend the Christian faith. God has commissioned us to go into all nations and preach the gospel. He has empowered those who obey Him to be witnesses, to heal the sick and to cast out demons. He doesn't need heroes. He needs ALL believers to get up and go out quickly into the streets and compel them to come in (to the Kingdom, not the church building! Lk 15). I think it's time for these long, fireside Sunday chats to be over!

Defend it yourself. Just provide some EVIDENCE that ANY of the supernatural claims it makes are true. Then you wouldn't need to "coach" believers how to pretend to defend the indefensible.
