How to Defend Your Faith with Dr. Frank Turek | Apologetics 101

If you want to be equipped to defend your faith and to be able to answer difficult questions the world has launched against Christianity, you need to attend this masterclass with Dr. Frank Turek. Dr. Turek is the host of the YouTube channel Cross Examined; a channel that reach millions of people worldwide. In this masterclass I'm going to be asking Dr. Turek some VERY difficult but popular questions that people typically ask about the Christian faith.

The practice of defending your faith is called apologetics and the idea comes from 1 Peter 3:15 which states that we should ALWAYS be ready to give an answer for the hope we have. This is an opportunity to get some SOLID answers to difficult questions AND ask Dr. Turek some direct questions LIVE in the chat. YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS!

I've been seeing a whole lot of crossovers from the Christian YouTube community lately and its honestly really amazing.

[sharonh]

Tactics and The God Conversation (Moreland and Muehlhoff) are GREAT! and helpful, along with Frank, Greg, Michael Ramsden, Allen, and SO many other wonderful apologists. Thanks to all for helping me be ready!

[monicadaniel]

Thank you Allen you are Making Videos at the right time! Walking through some issues concerning Dicipleship. Please do this with Frank again.

[Jus-Too-Smoove]

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this video

What stricks me when it comes to debating God and his word is the fact that when people stand against the word do they know the word, have they read the word because the word is discerned by a believer through the the spirit of God. This is why it's called the living. And now we have people trying to prove it untrue from a dead stand point

[Putler]

Question: Does Job 104:5 teach that the earth doesn’t move?

[alejandromas]

DR Frank could you translate your books in Spanish? Thank you

In 2019. I started loosing faith, so I decided to called upon the name of the Lord, in my backyard under a pepperidge tree, I said: Lord Jesus Christ I need to see you, IAM loosing faith, I want to see your face in the clouds and I want to take your picture, I did this for three days, then his face appeared in the clouds, I took the cell phone and took his picture, this happened in January 2019, NOW I know Jesus Christ is real, I believe 💯% without ANY doubt what so ever, thank you Lord Jesus Christ for letting me take your picture, praise the Lord, my mind turn around like a top, I have his picture for my testimony and everyone gets shocked .

[CrownedDiaries]

To add to 1:08:00 I’d say we also shouldn’t trust our psychology because our psychology is under the influence of our flesh which is always at war with the spirit of the age.

How do I defend my faith with latter Day saints when I don't know my Bible by heart 🤔

[scout]

I was almost becoming an agnostic to an atheist last month but after reading God's word and prayer with supplication with the help of Dr. Frank turek's ministry, God again has given me chance to live with him. Thank you Jesus.

Update: I am an agnostic. After I found out about the books and scientific studies with more accurate resolution, I came up with my view on God's existence to be uncertain.

[ghosttogether]

I can't help but think Allen looks like a young Denzel Washington.

[lionoffireministries]

I love the quote:
The truth is like a lion, let it loose and it will defend itself 🦁 ✝️

We just have to let it loose!!!

[aperxmim]

ALL proof will be settled after the 2nd coming for sure.

[b.delacroix]

I can listen to this kind of stuff all day.

[MakingChristKnownMedia]

Thanks brother Allen for inviting Frank. Great session and tough questions! Christianity is facing untold onslaughts from within the church and outside the church. We need this type of video that addresses several key issues that affect our Christian faith. As a former atheist, all I can say is that we don’t have to understand everything about the Bible to believe that God is real. I once doubted and denied the existence of GOD, but Jesus showed me love and mercy. GOD IS REAL & LOVE Y’ALL.

If God Stop Evil at Midnight would you still be alive at 12:01? Man that was good!

[MiaDinoto]

FANTASTIC video! You both are amazing teachers! I’m going to start reading Dr. Frank’s book and I’m so excited, can’t wait to read it!
God bless🙏🏼☺️

I used to be an atheist. I don't understand how someone who was truly Christian could be converted to an atheist. Why? Because when I was converted to a Christian I was told that my logic was flawed. I believed I just knew it all. Then someone told me if I was so scientific then I should try it and see what comes about it. So I did my research. I learned how to say the sinner's prayer. I learned how to accept Christ and then I asked God that if He were real give me a sign and take away my pain (I was suffering from depression) immediately after that fact the sun shined brightly upon me, my depression literally dissipated and I felt real joy for the first time in years. That was the day I was saved. God saved me with my own ego. So it is not enough to raise your kids to be Christian. You have to raise them to actually have a relationship with God and to understand God and to know God. Because before I knew who God was, before I knew what He stood for, I didn't believe in God because all the bad things that happened. I thought God was supposed to be like Superman but no. God is not Superman. He allows the evil to happen in the world because this world will not be here forever. He allows Christians to suffer because He has a greater plan. The devil knows all your weaknesses. If that Marine's daughter was converted so easily it's simply because she professed with her mouth that she was a believer but in reality in her heart she was an unbeliever. The Bible is the only proof you need of God. God made the wisdom of the world foolishness. If you need to prove to yourself or to anyone else that God is real with anything other than the Bible you are not truly a believer in all your heart. God gives the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to His followers to use to convert those He wants converted. Faith means trusting in God without needing proof. "Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed." John 20:29 The moment I opened up my heart, closed my eyes, bowed my head and put my faith in God and prayed I showed I truly trusted God. Before then I had always said Grace before dinner but I had no relationship with God and didn't know God. You have to build a relationship with God. It's not enough to teach your children to pray. Teach them how to build a relationship with God. Our God is a personal God. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ showed us through His actions on Earth. If you don't know how to build a relationship with God the Bible is just a book for you
