Had the privilege of attending one of Carl Trueman’s lectures a few years ago. A voice of reason we need today. Excited to listen to the full interview, Lila.
These are so interesting! Freud said only one thing that was correct. He noticed that people project onto others their morals and values. We tend to think other people think just like we do. I think his observation explains a lot about Freud. This series is so good I plan to have my homeschool kids watch these when they are older. Thank you!
For someone who says they are pro life, when you speak to someone who is thinking about having an abortion, you should never refer to it as mutilation. This statement it’s not met with compassion for her current situation which may be a difficult one. We must meet them with love, not shame!
I read Truman's book (the shorter one) while on a solo motorbike camping trip almost 2 years ago. It's incredibly eye-opening, and it helped me to understand the insanity of our modern world. The great news is that though the book doesn't offer solutions, the solution that presents itself is very simple, obey the great commission. Preach the gospel and give people hope! There is salvation and love found in Christ Jesus, the perfect Saviour. We don't need seminars or teaching on how to combat this cultural moment. We need to be faithful and bold as Christians and trust God for the harvest.
@@DannySmith862 the only way one can rightly say God doesn't speak for himself is if he has some way of knowing everything God has said. You are not qualified to make that assessment my friend. It is logical to accept that whoever created humans would provide the commanments that produce the best results for all of humanity. The teachings of Christ to love God and love our neighbors have produced the most humane, most charitable, most desirable places to live in the world today. Please accept the best results; declare Jesus as your Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from death and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Thank you for defending the dignity of life, Lila. Could you please cover Ted Cruz's nightmarish IVF bill? It's taking away people's medicaid if their state doesn't support IVF, which is a procedure that results in many lives being lost, and it requires men to perform a lustful sinful act. Hope you and your family have a joy-filled peaceful good day.
IVF is unethical and immoral. Embryos are human beings. Secondly, the Romanists reject IVF. Ted Cruz is wrong on IVF. It gives too much away to the abortionists.

Respect for marriage act; as a pizza parlor one can serve a plate of a mound of flour with a tomato and sprinkle of milk and legally be recognized as serving the customer pizza.

Considering how almost no atheist will grant the religious and philisophical assumptions behind natural law theory, please stop saying that those kinds of arguments are secular and can be agreed to by everyone.
Atheists believe there is such a thing as a human being, which means they believe there is a human nature, which means they believe in natural law. Check out our video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x1zQySlFSUM.html
@@LiveActionFilms No, natural law entails things like teleology and that it is wrong to go against the function of various body parts. That is absolutely not accepted by most atheists who tend to go for more utilitarian harm based or kantian deontological positions. The teleological natural law approach is mostly believed by catholics and rejected by everyone else.
Morality (good and evil) refers to purpose. When we say something is "good" we mean it is beneficial to the fulfillment of a purpose. Human nature has purposes (fundamental goals) that are universal to human nature - for goods like survival, long life, flourishing, and happiness etc for all people. To violate these goods is objectively evil because it is an objective violation of human nature. This is natural law morality.
@@LiveActionFilms once again you are smuggling in teleology when you say that our nature has goals. Most atheists don't believe that there are objective goals or purposes in nature. Even the idea of an objective human nature is contentious as well as the idea that morality involves a things purpose. I would contend that it is a person's well being in an of itself that is good, not that it is towards some objective goal.
@@LiveActionFilms the idea of an objective human nature or that there are objective goals or purposes in nature are contentious and disputed by most atheists. What is good by my lights is what benefits person well being and not some objective natural goal
1:14:39 “they did it in Ancient Greece” This is the pain and peril of natural theological and natural law arguments. There is no natural theology, nor law that speaks rightly about the true God, though it can and should lead us to divine revelation in scripture. “Normative anthropology” - can only be grounded in a Christian theory of moral/Eternal law.
Scripture alone gives us any propositional knowledge of God, His moral law, or the Gospel. Man is the image of God, and the moral law is written in man's heart.
@@ThomasCranmer1959 agreed, yet the reality of sin in the heart of man is key to keep in mind concerning our perception of and response to the moral law (Romans 1:18 and following).
@D.E.Metcalf Total depravity and the noetic effects of sin cause illogical and irrational thinking. God is Logic. John 1:1. The Logos enlightens every man. John 1:9.
@@jahnvantuttlesma8215 He is a LIBERAL fake Presbyterian in the liberal PCA denomination. The PCA ordains homosexuals and failed to discipline the Federal Vision heretics.
@@ThomasCranmer1959 First Things is more ecumenical rather than papist (they will even have some Jewish and Muslim contributors). Trueman is a member of the OPC and he teaches at the Presbyterian Grove City College. If he wanted the join the Roman Catholic Church he would.
@jahnvantuttlesma8215 You don't have to join the Roman Catholic Church to be a fake Presbyterian and a fake Evangelical. First Things is a papist magazine, which was edited by a liberal former Lutheran who converted to the false religion of the papacy prior to his demise: Richard John Neuhaus. Ecumenical movements are always liberal. The fact that Trueman never even mentions any Scripture in this video speaks volumes about his commitment to the doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
