If There Is a God, Why Are There Atheists?: The Classic Collection with R.C. Sproul 

Reborn Christian as of December 2023. Praise Jesus for placing this man’s works in my life. God Bless

I discovered RC in 1996 While I was driving a truck. Specifically on highway 6 in Sugarland Tx. Since then, I have followed his teachings. I went to two conferences ,one in Houston and another one in Conroe Tx. ( he autographed my Bible and a book) I couldn’t believe I would shake hands with such a brilliant teacher. His teaching have transformed me and renewed my mind. I thank The Lord God omnipotent for R C. I can now, by the grace of God share the Gospel in a more efficient way. Looking forward to meeting him in heaven!!

I had an experience. I had already accepted Christ, but I felt terrible about my sin. I felt self loathing. I spoke to the bishop of the Episcopal cathedral in Orlando. He explained that I was being convicted by the HS of my sin & bc Christ was in my heart I hated my sin. He said, I’m going to say a short prayer that God will begin to show you how he sees you… I anticipated a polite little prayer & that I would then be on my way. However, I didn’t hear a word of the prayer bc I was enveloped in a profound & penetrating light & warmth of profound acceptance & feeling of well-being… there were no words but I knew that God’s Holy Spirit had engulfed me in a beautiful embrace of perfect love. I wasn’t looking for an “experience” & I hadn’t previously believed some of the so called experiences I had seen on TV. I didn’t fall down or lose consciousness… but I know I encountered God that night & I also knew beyond doubt that the Gospel was/is real & there isn’t any argument that could ever convince me otherwise.

Today marks RC's 4th year in Heaven. May God bless His beloved Church by sending us faithful preachers and teachers who will not bow the knee to the world. Who will encourage us to stand and fight the good fight of faith. Let us all glorify God in the life of our departed brother R.C. Sproul. May God bless us all

I discovered R.C as a young 20 year old kid in 2021 while in my apartment on the 3rd story. I cried my eyes out for hours realizing how sinful my life was in just 20 years. I now listen to him on occasion while driving as a truck driver for Amazon.

Another amazing teaching. Thank you Lord for guiding me to R. C. Sproul.

Pure brilliance and genius. I am looking forward to meeting you in our beloved Lord's kingdom, Mr. Sproul.✝️♾️💜✝️💜

I have long been aware of R.C. Sproul's existence but have never heard him preach, before. I am impressed with what he had to say. That doesn't even begin to show the depth of my feeling about his ministry. Truly a man of God!

I loved John Lennox response to the statement that God is for those afraid of the dark. He said that atheism is for those afraid of the Light. We need our teachers but we need to be aware of this truth as espoused by FB Meyer. “There are no new truths, only old truths that need to be discovered.” Amen…never raise any teacher to the level of God.

Love R C's teaching! So glad there are recordings of his godly and Biblical teachings available.

This is one of my favorite teachers! I love the fact that alongside biblical veracity his curriculum included acquainting his students with the counter arguments. Having their longterm faith in sight and knowing that objections will rise from inside and out..its a brilliant way to bring them face to face in their own wrestling with truth. Given the reality of the state of our hearts, which we ourselves don't even know..I say this in light of that..I don't doubt that those students reading the anti Christian views, in various form inevitably discovered some of those same school of thoughts in themselves, the culture, and traced in history. All as a way to throw them back upon the truth. R. C. knew doctrinally and personally how much anti God philosophies are naturally lodged deep in the human heart and..and can only be discovered and hated (repented of) by belief in the truth...that if those engaged in this task really wanted to know the truth they would seek God with all their heart and find Him in truth. (Which seeking, if true, is a work of God itself). R. C. did not invent this teaching method but employed it without fear because he knew the truth is eminently unchanging and therefore utterly more powerful and persuasive than any lie. That teaching method seems to mimic the way even God Himself teaches us.. God in His word has accurately recorded the counter arguments and actions opposed to His truth and as it were He brings all things into the light so that they are there seen and examined and finally known for what it is. That is brilliant that is wisdom and that is love.

what a giant among the teachers of our Holy God's truth. He declares it so precisely. I pray he is enjoying his reward with our Lord Christ Jesus at this very moment. R.C. is home.

Oh how I wish he was still alive. At least there is an abundance of his teachings available. His lectures are so intelligent and eloquent.

A must see...timeless and powerful truth. So grateful for RC and the team who continues the ministry. May God bless and keep you

Praises to the LORD God Almighty for graciously providing us with godly men whose hearts are wholly for God and His Word 🙏🙌🙏

The world has been given countless great Reformed theologians, including Dr Sproul. But he had something not all of them possessed, namely a unique teaching skill that enabled him to teach the deepest Biblical truths to anyone who was prepared to listen.

I've only just discovered R.C and he just blows me away with his teachings on scripture - thankyou Lord for raising up this man. I look forward to the day i meet him in Heaven

Praise God for RC Sproul’s minister. I love how he teach the gospel.

I love his preaching. My parents came to Christ in the middle 50s. i am 64. I was blessed and was raised in a believingf home. As were my wife and I. i have a blessing of raising 3 godly daughters and having 3 godly sons in law. I also have the blessing of having my 8 grandchildren to be raised knowing the Lord. Mylate wife's aprents were blessed as 3 years ago of attending family dedication of one of their great grandchildren attended by their christian children and spouses and christian grandchildren and spouses attending the family dedication of their 7th great grandchildren. That is a heritage of faith. I pay I love to see my great grandchildren at family dedication. That is unless the Lord calls me home or returns.

RC Sproul teaches with a knife like precision and a passion which is infectious. He explains God's word in a way I can understand.

Oh man, this is so good. Such God filled teaching of the absolute truth of scripture. Forever grateful to God for RC. Sproul 🙌

mr sproul, the coolest preacher on earth. he somehow could explain to anyone with great word, about God and surely christianity. My wife is not a believer, but somehow connects with what Mr Sproul is saying. She is starting to see but not fully seek yet.

I love his conversion story. Mine was the same in that I told all my "friends." They didnt offer me any explanation other than "leave us alone! You are crazy."

If there ever was nothing, there could never be anything. ~ RC Sproul

RC was an amazing man of God. A true blessing to the Church.

I have learned SO MUCH from this man's teachings

I appreciate preachers who mention both sides of the history, that's a sign of intelectual honesty. God bless you all. Greetings from Brazil.

Pastor explains it so clear. as if we were taught it before 😉🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes I too just recently came across R C Sproul I can listening to him teaching which making the scriptures coming alive in the pages, God has given these wonderful ppl to explain Him mind to world so can be equip to fellow God words

My own brother went into eternity a few days ago, and I know that he believed. How I wish I had had the wisdom of RC Sproul and the courage to use it.

Love this. Thanks for uploading these wonderful lectures.

As a University student I have been grappling with this question for a long while now, and have even gone into a depressive episode dealing with this issue... however after having listened to this lecture I can say I don’t feel nearly as sad anymore. I can’t explain it.. maybe it’s Marx’s opiate .. motivated reasoning or whatever .. but Dr. Sproul’s explanation of the shoe and existence truthfully awoke something positive in me. I endeavored to take his shoe example from his view with the sincerity he intended and I have to say.. he is convincing me.

What a great message!

This was exceptional and well-spoken. Thanks for posting.

R C SPROUL may God grant you more blessing in your wonderful ministry.

RC spoke truth and did it exceedingly well. Wish I could have met him. He has helped me so much.

I've been a Christian 40 years. and in 2022 I'm just discovering R C SPROUL. FANTASTIC SERMONS A MASTER APOLOGETICS TEACHER.MAY HE R I P EVANGELIST ROGER MANSOUR MISSIONARY TO HAITI

You learnt so much about the Bible through his teaching. Praise the Lord for his teaching of true knowledge of God and to see through the sinful nature of man.

One of the great teachers of God: thank you Father for RC Sproul in Jesus Christ name Amen

this so far is the best.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

One of the best sermons on Romans 1:18-20 I've heard. Thankful to God for the influence of R.C. Sproul.

One of the best men of God ever! So glad he left a great body if work for us.

Rc Sproul is still blessing us even today. Thank you Jesus for your Word and for RC.

RC never disappoints..

He teaches to people sp clear that even a child or uneducated could understand. Thank God for His work through Him.

Love listening to R.C. Sproul teaching! 🙏🧡!

Wow! What a sermon. This man just displays the word of God in such a powerful way. I am blown away

I love Jesus 💕

in my teen years when i was an atheist, everytime i said god's not real and i was by myself i felt this huge weight on my heart. i could feel the emptiness of space (the universe) telling me that space is not that empty.

Thank you

Excellent!

Such a very good semon: now, by the examples given by R C Sproul, recognizing motives of people around me who deny God and why, regrettably, I cannot reach them

great video

Brilliant, love this stuff 😇♥️♥️♥️🙌🙌🙌🙏🏿🙏🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏼

Dope Coversion x Conviction Of The Gospel OG RC was cold with this sermon

To convince myself that i dont have to ultimately answer for all the secret evils ive committed in this life would be a satisfying opiate. Atheism is the true opiate of the masses.

Love this man

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” ― Epicurus

Love the hair RC!

Excellent!!😎✌.....

Man does not have the ability to invent God. Man has the ability to invent an image of God, but that is ultimately and categorically not God. This notion should never be granted to the unbeliever. Very much appreciate Sproul's ministry. God has used it as an immense blessing in my life. But granting that man is capable of inventing God is not destroying arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.

Brilliant & Beautiful. St. John 3:27, 2 Corinthians 2:14, St. John 6:37, 44 & 65 ! St. John 18:37 last sentence !

My God. Powerful sermon.

Ive never seen these episodes of colombo, i love it

Thanks God for serving us the truth (Christ) through his servants like you and others . God bless you more

Absolutely brilliant.

Holiness. Seems like we can know why we have an inbuilt hostility towards God. Absolutely brilliant exposition.

I think it was George Jeffreys the founder of the Elim Pentecostal movement in the UK who coined the phrase of “he who who has experience is not at the mercy of him that has an argument”

Thanks

I'm an atheist. And it's not often I respect the approach of religious believers, but I gotta say, this man is very well informed, very intellectually careful and very reasonable. I disagree mightily with his conclusion, but I gotta give him props for being so well informed and for taking atheist arguments seriously.

It should be titled :- There is God, so why are there atheists?

Miss RC! He’s enjoying eternity with the Lord now

Magnificent!!!!!

R.C. is absolutely awesome.

Best argument for atheism I have heard!

Great! RC Sproul .

I’m a graduate of two evangelical seminaries and RC is the most clear in his teaching than anyone I’ve ever sat under.

My husband and I had heard the name R.C. Sproul for years but knew nothing about him until recently when we started watching different preachers on RU-vid. How is this even possible? He is the most profound preacher I have ever heard. Unfortunately there aren’t any around today that comes close to his teaching. Not to say there aren’t any good teacher/preachers today because there are but the depth isn’t the same, I.e. when teaching on the holiness of God.

So two verses that should have been brought into this sermon. "He doth not willing afflict or grieve the children of men" The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but time and chance happeneth to them all."

I was so elated upon discovering Christ that I also shared it with loved ones. A sister told me God doesn't exist and that I needed it as a crutch, a Catholic sibling put me down because I am a Protestant. He was and is a 'protectant'----- protecting the Catholic religion. His was the worst of all critics as was vain and offensive about his Catholicism.

Is there any way that you can provide the transcript I know youTube provides the transcripts up at the corner where the three dots are but I don't see your transcript for these videos. Thanks

RC was just brilliant.

GOD has concluded them all in unbelief that he might have Mercy upon all!

That was beautiful. Thank you for the upload. I wonder why RC Sproul commented his dislike for presuppositional apologetics when it's premise is based on this concept and this text of the Bible? Romans 1:18 etc.

That was incredible, praise the LORD!

Sproul had an experience and then spent his life attempting to develop rhetoric to back up his experience. Smart guy. A metric ton of confirmation bias, but always intelligent commentary. Respect.

is that at knox seminary fr lauderdale

Can anyone tell me when this series was recorded?

A day without an RC Sermon isn’t a good day.

I’m never going to look at shoes the same way again.

If as atheists say there is no God, why do they spend so much time fighting him?

I love it the He is Holy Holy Holy and I'm not! Praise our Savior!

Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Isreal; After those days, saith YAH, I will put my Torah in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim and they shall be my people. 🗡📖💯♥️☝️

R.C. Sprouls video of youngest appearance was in the 1970’s. Not this video which appears to be in the near late 1980’s.

RC: Just look at your shoe. 😅😂🤣

Psalm 14:1

Hallelujah October 10 2011 Amen Amen

Amen.

Amen Sproul. We must be light in this dark world. May we share the truth about Jesus to our fellow neighbors. God bless you all.

The question "If There Is a God, Why Are There Atheists?" is seemingly a good question. Yet we might justifiable argue that without incontrovertible evidence there is no evidence of any god or gods.
