SUMMARY:
3:11: 📚 John Lennox discusses the concept of truth, challenging the idea that science is the only way to truth and emphasizing that truth is ultimately a person, Jesus Christ.
8:40: 🤔 Reason and revelation are not in opposition, but rather work together to understand the truth about God.
13:58: 📚 Lennox discusses the importance of defending the faith and the different categories of evidence.
20:53: 🤔 Faith is not blind and requires evidence; moral and truth relativism are not practical; Big Bang theory confirms the idea of a beginning.

I was ten and about to be run over by a train.I called out to God to Help me and was instantly lifted up by my armpits and was stood up off of the tracks just as the train swept past.I know God is real and Alive because I am still alive.He Lives and hears us in our time of need.Praise God and thank you Jesus.And I thank my Mother for teaching me about Jesus when I was a small child.I knew I was going to be ran over and the words out of my mouth was God Help me.And He did.

It amazes me how the most intelligent people can explain complex things in the most efficient, simple ways. Thomas Sowell is another gifted mind.

[margiehankins-jerde]

John Lennox is absolutely one of the best speakers in explaining in layman terms. Most of us are not scientists or a professor. I love it he is a Christian and put it all together with science. A great man.

[GregDefendingTheFaith]

Am I the only one who has to rewind every once in a while to catch up with his logic. Brilliant.

[robertchaffin]

Once I came across John Lennox on youtube, I can't stop listening to his very thought-provoking discussions.

[christinefleming]

When someone loves to question and has the courage to use the brain, you feel often very much like an alien. A lot of Christians are so scared to combine faith with science. I love to listen to John Lennox. It's challenging because I didn't go to university. But even with my 70 years it makes me hungry for more to learn. 🙂 Thank you for the Video!

[jenniferdsouza]

This is how a discussion should be. Both thinkers were on a quest for truth. No insults, no slurs and no disrespect. Kudos.

[elnavanrensburg]

My admiration for Prof Lennox is without boundaries. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, intellect and WISDOM with us.

[felixotuoke]

Truth is a Person. Profound revelation. I love it. ❤

Humility brings great learning and wisdom. Thank you Yeshua for John Lennox.

[HelloOutsiders]

Lennox interviews/debates never disappoint!

[manuelteixeira]

My 43 years mother of five children, gave birth to me in a very precarious situation being at home. At last in maternity, I was delivered by c-section after a failed forceps procedure in 1953. I thank God for being alive because my parents, if they weren't Christians, probably would have decided on an abortion. The moral Christian view is why I live today with faith in Jesus Christ, Who first suffered for me before my own individual suffering, with a meaning for eternal life. I love God and I believe He loves me as mankind he died for. I have decided to accept Jesus, repudiate sin but love the sinner.

[nathanngumi]

Wow. Prof. John Lennox is one of the greatest minds today, great interview!

[Abraham-ukxy]

Loved this. Prof Lennox was so relaxed, eloquent and full of wisdom. I could listen to him for hours.

[johnbaker]

People Who have been given the gift of a brilliant intellect such as John Lennox and follow Truth acknowledging Jesus Christ as The Ultimate Truth encourage others to go on that journey to set themselves Free. Thank you Samuel and John for sharing the Wisdom and pointing The Way which leads to TRUTH Freedom and Life. Praise The Lord and God Bless His Holy City JERUSALEM
