Here's an interesting segment of debate between late Christopher Hitchens and John Lennox. Hitchens presents the case that the Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in the life of Jesus was tailored by the evangelists to fit in with the story of the Messiah. Hitchens also made the audacious statement that Jesus never claimed to be God! Watch how John Lennox calmly responds to his false assumptions!

About John Lennox
John Carson Lennox (born 7 November 1943) is a Northern Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian. He has written many books on religion, ethics, the relationship between science and faith (like his books, Has Science Buried God and Can Science Explain Everything), and has had public debates with atheists including Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. (Wikipedia)

About Christopher Hitchens:
Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was a British author and journalist who is widely regarded as one of the most influential atheists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Author of 18 books on faith, culture, politics, and literature, he was born and educated in Britain, graduating in the 1970s from Oxford. In the early 1980s, he emigrated to the United States and wrote for The Nation and Vanity Fair. Known as one of the four horsemen of New Atheism, he gained prominence as a columnist and speaker. His epistemological razor, which states that "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence", is still of mark in philosophy and law. (wiki)

There's a clear difference between a person full of pride and a person full of knowledge.

[RaffiSosikian]

Alma in Hebrew means young woman ready for marriage, what many anti-Christians miss is that in order for a young woman to be married she needed to be a virgin per Deuteronomy 22:13-21

[thiagoulart]

Mary being "marriageable" in those times do very much mean "virgin" because it was an obvious preposition for such event.

Miracles or no miracles, either way, there is no convincing an unbeliever; only God can do so.

The true evidence of Christ Yeshua risen and alive is not found on any paper but within all those who have accepted Him to come into their lives through genuine repentance and love...Amen John 3:16 Hebrews 11:1

[meta]

So the apostles just made it up and went along with their lie? that's makes sense for someone who gets power and wealth in return, not beheading, stoning and burning to death as means of execution. No man has ever died for that which he knew to be a lie.

[Ghost.Spectrum]

From what I've seen from Hitchens is that he speaks a lot of words but says almost nothing of any importance. I honestly don't see why he is considered this monumental figure within atheism

[horsedoconfb]

Hitchens rejected the idea of a virgin birth, yet he embraced the idea of a virgin universe

Hitchens gets destroyed? So when are you going to show that video?

[FlowLikeWater]

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.“

[colinmatts]

Can someone put up a timestamp for when Hitchens gets "destroyed".

[reasonforge]

It should be noted the Septuagint (Greek translation of Jewish Scripture) was translated BEFORE the time of Jesus, and thus is free from the polemics surrounding whether Jesus was the Messiah. Jewish scholars translated "alma" in Isaih 7:14 as as the Greek "parthenos", which is the very word for virgin used in the New Testament authors when alluding to Isaiah 7:14--which is not suprising since as the video points out they were likely quoting the Septuagint. How modern Hebrew speakers 2000 years later use the word "alma" does not change how it was used at the time of Isaiah.

[WilliamsThomas-dm]

Hitchens obviously never read the Bible. He's not qualified to comment on it's contents.

[stevejjd]

People don’t understand basic Christianity

[dieterrosswag]

I don't care if you believe in Jesus, just don't try to convince me with lies

[DaveMerritt-kigv]

Why do these videos always have to be so hateful with "gets DESTROYED", have some humility. You're Christian, supposedly. Act like it.

[Syrin]

Hitchens doesn't understand that his place in hell is WORSE than for others destined for hell because he is PREACHING blasphemy and trying to recruit people AWAY from God

[observer]

There are many people who admire Mr. Hitchens. He was an imposing figure, but he was simply eloquently ignorant.
