I was lucky to be introduced to Dr Ravi’s audio tapes early days after I decided to follow Jesus. First audio tape I heard was titled “The Questions of man in agony”, on life of Job, when I was 20 years old, living in a 6 ft x 15ft room located in the remote part of India. Being not so good with English at that time, I had to listen at least 40 times for understanding not even 40% of the content. Now, it is 25 years since then, didn’t miss any opportunity to attend his meetings in person as well as listen to his video/audios online. I have no words to explain how much Dr Ravi’s life was a greatest inspiration to me and his teachings & presentation will continue to be my role model in life. Dr Ravi, Thank you and thank God for raising people like you who have been a blessing in my life. #ThankYouRavi
even though you are gone ,God is still using you to reach out to man, your very memories are a blessing to people of a sound mind , gone but never will be forgotten God bless you forever Ravi my brother ,
Listening to it again.. great man of God.. Inspiring and amazing life and testimony. We will really miss you Dr. Ravi Zacharias! Praying for God’s comfort and strength to family! What a life! I’m sure you have a grand welcome in heaven!
This is a man after God own heart, this is the best sermon on Job I have ever heard ! Thank you sir and God be with you each and every day as you teach and reach others the love of Jesus and the meaning of the Cross , that the Cross is not something to be around our neck it something to be hung around our heart
Living in Dubai and this intelligent preacher and defender of the gospel of Jesus Christ has become my online teacher. May Hid grant him more grace to educate us.
Engineerated I wish I could see him too one day. Well if I ever can swing it I’ll . I’m Canada though I don’t know how much he comes up here anymore. Good day and God bless you and keep you.
@@nevertrustkids Yes, I'm aware of that! The world has lost a great apologist. I'm sad I never got a chance to meet Nabeel and Dr. Ravi. I do attend the church in Pakistan. People here are vulnerable to get attacked but they still are pious and praise God in whatever condition God keeps them.
This is the greatest lesson I have ever heard about Job and the problem of suffering. I can look at my own trials and testings, pain and suffering, and know this is true. The more I suffered the closer I was drawn to Christ, and the more I felt His comfort. He has taught me so much through it all that, Tho' I dread the pain, I look forward to what else He will do in me and the closer relationship with my God that He brings to me by it.
For every training God brings to you only make you a better person and a way of making you more like Him. Remember when you have not been hungry, you won't understand what someone is going through when he says "help me, I'M HUNGRY" The Bible says "Our light affliction works for us a far more exceeding weight of Glory". So my dear, keep your head up. More grace
God teaches me through pain things I could have never understand. Answers that now reval themselves to me and blessings that no amount of money could buy.
When I was a child I had to go to the doctor for a painful in office procedure.My father was there,he could not help the pain, But he kept telling me, its alright its alright daddy's here daddy's here.And that did make it alright,when he told me that the pain was still there but the fear was gone.My father was good to me, and I always trusted him,and it was alright,then and now.He has been gone now for forty yrs. But my heavenly father never leaves me,even before I knew I had a heavenly father.
Terry you are so right! Someone's empathetic company and love particularly a close friend/relative/parent is the answer to bearing pain so much better than the answer science gives us - drugs. Love provides an answer to atheists that is much more difficult to refute than a scientific argument.
Terry Harris No what you said was... " _They_ believe love is just a biological imperative " So what you said is that atheists don't " love " in the same was that you do... because somehow they think it's a biological imperative. I'm not putting words in your mouth... I'm repeating back what you write. If you don't like it, don't write it in the first place
A very powerful message as it has touch my heart. I cannot help but share the message to my love ones and friends. Thank you Ravi for the blessing of sharing the gift God has given you. God bless you, your family & your ministry. Shalom.
It seems to me that if an atheist doesn't dig too deep into the philosophy of his beliefs, then he could explain pain and suffering to himself as mere chance of the unfortunate that suffer, and they would be angry at no one. But there is a deep flaw within that gnaws at them and they react by going beyond atheism into active anti-theism, perceiving that the mere existence of religion and Christianity in particular is the thorn in their side. So they argue for the removal of crosses and prayers and hymns, trying to convince people that they level the playing field, not realizing that they are invading with a religion of their own with themselves as gods, though they would not call it that.
Ravi, I know you are at rest in Christ and we can't wait to see you again and hug you. You've taught me more than I can express. One thing that's probably the most beneficial to me as a minister is your example of how to engage with unbelievers in a world so hostile to God. What your mother said was true-"Once you've cut off a person's nose, there's no sense in giving them a rose to smell." That has helped to transform my preaching and sweeten my witness for Christ. Hope to see you soon.
God is teaching us a hard lesson,,,MAN CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO GOVERN HIMSELF...Without Jesus Christ we become futile in our thinking and our foolish hearts are darkened. Jesus will come and he will tabernacle among us and then and only then will man be fully restored
Thanking God for this Insights on Problem of Pain and suffering and the meaning and purpose behind. God comes to us I rescue as he did to Job as Creator Designer Revealed and Comforter Mediator and Savior Strengthener and Wow. Thanking God for Sir Brother Dr. Ravi Zacharias 🙏❤
No Bible no Life. End off. Get saved Now- 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. When you are saved go find MONEY. The Rapture in next---Wherefore comfort one another with these words.. Great Ravi. I agreed with you for once.............
@weepingsky. He wasn't making a point, he was quoting a skeptic. He also quoted G. K. Chesterton: "When belief in God becomes difficult the tendency is to turn away from Him. But in heaven's name, to what?"
Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son, (John 5:28) Sadly, this includes every person that has ever lived. I would love to be able to pull the veil from the hearts of men. But men loved darkness more than light, lest their deeds be exposed. And so it is, we can have our choice which leads to eternal separation from God and into eternal torment with horror and weeping and grinding teeth, our we can have God's choice which leads to eternal life. So we still have a choice this side of eternity. May you choose wisely, Gentleman or Lady.
Faith is one of those words that is commonly used but not always understood. Some of that confusion comes from the many different ways the word faith is used in everyday conversation; a quick look at Dictionary.com shows seven different uses! One common way that people use the word faith is to refer to belief in something despite lacking any evidence for it. But is that what the Bible means by faith? The answer is a resounding no! So, when the Bible uses the word faith, what does it mean? The closest that the Bible comes to offering an exact definition is Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” From this particular passage we see that the central feature of faith-confidence or trust. In the Bible, the object of faith is God and his promises. A clear example of this is Abram's encounter with God in Genesis 15. In response to God's promise of countless descendants, Abram “believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness” (Gen 15:6). Commenting on this, the Apostle Paul writes, “No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (Rom 4:20-21). Thus, faith means putting your trust in God and having confidence that he will fulfill his promises. Faith is more than intellectual agreement. To use an old illustration, imagine you are at Niagara Falls watching a tightrope walker push a wheelbarrow across the rope high above the falls. After watching him go back and forth several times, he asks for a volunteer to sit in the wheelbarrow as he pushes it across the falls. At an intellectual level, you may believe that he could successfully push you across the rope over the falls, but you are not exercising biblical faith until you get in the wheelbarrow and entrust yourself to the tightrope walker. Genuine biblical faith expresses itself in everyday life. James writes that “faith by itself, apart from works, is dead” (James 2:17). Faith works through love to produce tangible evidence of its existence in a person's life (Gal 5:6). Put another way, the obedience that pleases God comes from faith (Rom 1:5, 16:26), rather than a mere sense of duty or obligation. There is all the difference in the world between the husband who buys his wife flowers out of delight and one who buys them simply out of duty. Faith is so important because it is the means by which we have a relationship with God: “For by grace you have been saved through faith” (Eph 2:8). Faith is how we receive the benefits of what Jesus has done for us. He lived a life of perfect obedience to God, died to pay the penalty for our sinful rebellion against God, and rose from the dead to defeat sin, death, and the devil. By putting our faith in him, we receive forgiveness for our sins and the gift of eternal life. So, faith means relying completely on who Jesus is and what he has done to be made right with God. Faith is choosing to believe First of all, the Christian faith professes an unreserved belief in the Bible, God’s Word to mankind - true, tested and unchanging. Faith is also full and unreserved confidence in God, in His love for me, and in His power to help me whatever comes my way in life. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6. Faith is a choice. I need faith to become a Christian. I choose to believe in Jesus Christ, that He died for my sins, and that by believing in Him, my sins will be forgiven. The promise is clear. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. It is faith in a Person that saves a believing soul, not faith in a particular philosophy or a code of rules. Every Christian will agree that salvation is a gift, not something we attain to by our own efforts. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. To acknowledge my sin and repent from it is the first and vital step. But I still cannot save myself! “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. To receive this gift, I must believe in and personally accept God’s gift to me in His Son. The forgiveness of sins is a wonderful beginning, and brings great joy to every true believer in Jesus. It is no small thing to have the burden and guilt of sin removed from my conscience! What comes next? So I am saved by grace through an act of faith. I choose to believe. Then what? Do I still need faith? Yes! If I want to live a life that pleases the Savior I have believed in. Though the guilt of sin is gone, the indwelling sin in my nature will still be the cause of many temptations. The next verse in Ephesians 2 tells us what God’s thoughts are for us after our initial experience of salvation. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10. So God has something far greater, and even more wonderful in mind for us after we have believed Him for forgiveness. It is also written in Romans 5:10: “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Jesus’ life was a life of action. “Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.” Hebrews 5:8. To be saved by His life, I need a faith that leads me to action. Paul calls it the obedience to the faith. (Romans 1:5) Jesus is our great Forerunner, and the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2) All the heroes of faith in the old covenant acted on their faith. They did something. Every one of them believed - and acted! By faith Noah prepared an ark, by faith Abraham obeyed, and so on. (Hebrews 11) Go to action! John writes simply: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4. It is this light of Jesus’ life that I need to walk in - go to action! If I really want to obey God’s good laws of life found in His Word, I will soon find myself in a battle Almost all talk of battles and wars when concerning a Christian life refers to the inner battle that arises when a sinful thought tempts you. God’s Spirit and the flesh are at odds. When you have decided to only do... , a battle against the sin the light reveals. This is the good fight of faith! To win this battle, I need to believe in a power outside of myself, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Who has promised that He can save me, and that to the uttermost. (Hebrews 7:25) This ongoing salvation is a work of faith. It has nothing to do with my feelings, which can go up and down like a yo-yo. But when I believe God, and set my heart to obey, even against my feelings or my human understanding, then God goes to action too! He sends grace and help in time of need, and all honor for the salvation gained belongs to Him! Faith opens the door to a victorious life! By faith, we can truly overcome as He overcame! “This is the victory that overcomes the world - our faith.” 1 John 5:5. I believe in His power to save. I believe that when I take up my cross and deny myself as Jesus did, or as the Scriptures also put it, am “crucified with Christ,” I will be victorious over sin and self. “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20. Faith is a precious possession! As we said to start with, it is not visible or tangible. However, Jesus said to doubting Thomas: “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29. Peter writes about this blessedness also. “… whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8-9. The result of a living faith is both visible and tangible! The disciples saw it and touched it in Jesus, and our calling as Christians is to come to this same joyful and glorious life - by faith!

The argument for the moral law giver makes sense in regards to the question of evil. But how does it answer the question of apparently unnecessary suffering, and the existence of God.
william polson Suffering exists because of the presence of sin in the world. Because we were created with free will, we can choose to do right or wrong. Someone else's decision to do wrong can affect you even though you did not participate in their decision. An easy example is a drunk driver killing a family that was on its way home from a birthday party. The pain of the surviving family members is directly caused by the sin of the drunk driver. God plans to fix this problem of suffering by destroying unrepentant sinners in hell once and for all. Therefore making planet earth a safe and happy place for all its inhabitants forever.
+william polson : It is more important to get a relationship going to understand the nature of God's work in and through ur life. Job had his questions too, but he continued the relationship with God without ceasing. Not only did he believe in a GOd who could bring miraculous healing , but also a God who sustains ur life through a Sickness. We understand only later why God chose Job to carry out a special task. Towards the end of his life Job was blessed with double the portion he initially inherited, but along with that HE HAD AN AUDIENCE FOR GOD. Today he has an audience in me. But suffering is something we as humans opened the gates to, in the Garden of Eden. But even so God did not just stand there and pass comments. He sent his only Son to undergo the suffering too, oly that it was even more because he could have chosen to display his power and majesty and the status of God. But rather went through pain, separation .
+william polson It's when he tells the story of the man who confessed that the lessons he learned in life were learned in times of suffering. Also I believe bad times are an opportunity for us to serve one another and in so doing we grow as human beings as we follow the example of Jesus Christ
Thank you for enlightening my hurting heart and soul Mr. Zacharias. I feel like you’re speaking to me, I feel like I can begin to heal. I will refocus my relationship with God through pain, I know God did not abandon me. God bless you
Fighting Leviathan, With a Puny Wooden Sword! By Robert Winkler Burke Book #8 of In That Day Teachings Copyright 5/25/11 www.inthatdayteachings.com
Notes from Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Dictionary: “The book of Job is not only one of the most remarkable in the Bible, but in literature. As was said of Goliath’s sword, ‘There is none like it,’ none in ancient or in modern literature.” - Kitto. “A book which will one day, perhaps, be seen towering up alone far above all the poetry of the world.” - J. A. Froude. Nelson’s comments say that the true identity of who wrote Job has remained throughout time: a mystery. “Do not break the person, break his desire to attack you. Provide the illusion that your opponent still has control, but make sure he does not.” - Mikhail Ryabko, Russian Martial Art Systema Master I must not hurt huge Leviathan, As it swoops down on me! Dragon’s flame kills and maims, I’ll soon be history! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! Yet, I must not hurt Leviathan, Its skin is tough and brittle! His pride is ridiculous big, And I am less than little! We fight for hours, Oh, we fight for days on end! Then, when it’s over, The beast gets up again! My puny wooden sword damages it not, I’m like a grasshopper against a giant! Then it lays down, coughs up its heart, Upon its tongue, now on me: reliant! Leviathan now relies on me, To treat its heart with care! No longer enemies, but fast friends, I approach on God’s dare! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! With my too-small wooden sword, I walk into the danger zone, such biting teeth of dread! To the heart, now on the tongue, I gently touch my sword, out gush bright drops of red! From the sword come good drops, Of God’s ancient-wisdom self-sacrifice, Then Beast wakes up changed, Swallows heart and renews its old vice! Cruelly taking advantage of my nearness, Leviathan scorches me in full-blown rage! I fight him off again with wooden sword, Behold! Beast doth weaken! says my Page. For my Page greatly knows what’s going on, Not long ago, HE was THE bad Leviathan! You see, we fought for years! Way too long! His dual was an excruciating marathon! But after a thousand drops from God’s cross, My Page was, of Beast, set free! Now he’s learning to be God’s Man-of-War, Who fights evil, just like me! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! After days and months and years, My Page and I have succeeded! Leviathan whom we fought, Is full humble now: defeated! My Page has become a Swordsman, That Leviathan: HIS own Page, I have left off sword for pen, That you understand this age! So then, pride of religion and its blinding selfish-rigidness, Is killing man! Just as loving kindness, humility, patience and flexibility, Kills Leviathan! Job learned this In That Day, Of his: long ago! Now we must all learn the same! You do not know? Holy flexibility, Is where Christ-in-You is at! You’ll remember the fight, When the Rigid lose all that! You’ll remember the fight, When, as rigid Leviathan, you with great enmity: hated your betters! Who took your blows nobly, And with kind, wooden, bloody swords, removed your blind fetters. How you’ll hate that forgiving blood of Jesus, Applied drops at a time on your stony heart! Until you see it is not the end, But the Christ-in-You: Page-Warrior start! You’ll then, Rigid Ones, be on the, Other side of the sword! You’ll say, as Job did, I repent! In dust and ashes, Lord! And if you were particularly mean, And hurtful to your dear-brave Warrior-Savior, God will give you a willow-wimpy sword, To fight Leviathan, inside of your neighbor!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! You might say, Well, it serves me just about right! Rip me up, Leviathan! It’s time to fight! I shall not return evil for evil, From proud, religiously-rigid man, He may hurt me, but me never: him, He’ll get what I have in me: I AM! The great I AM, Wants to live in us all! In That Day it’s, A strange work: yet not small! It’s a BIG thing, When Leviathan pride dies! And Christ-in-You, Trumpets: loud victory cries! Yet and even much so, Your pride in all this will be choked: by your own reins, By the smallish sword, You’ll be given, to do the large work that remains! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! You might ask me, where did I learn all this? That it’s a pride-fight and that Leviathan isn’t a dinosaur true! I learned it by reading the Book of Job, From the Warrior-Prophet, not a Page, whose name is Elihu! This great, but young, Warrior-Prophet, Had heard so much talk of churchy-religious pride, Elihu wrote all of Job’s book, Yet pride in work: egoless, he did prodigious hide!
Elihu hid his authorship, And prophetic voice with Job! That following Workmen, Would put this in their brain’s globe… Religious-Pride is Leviathan! (It’s a smallish issue with beginners!) Leviathan is Religious-godly-Pride! (Clericalism makes biggest sinners!) I write this, as your proud author, Oops! That beast is hard to hide! Where is my bent, old wooden sword? God, I lay my heart upon my swag tongue! Knowledge puffeth me up… in pride, Touch me now, oh blood of God’s Son! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! But you protest, Only Jesus! Jesus alone! He alone (ALONE!) is your Savior! Never you’d let, Yourself acknowledge: He can be greater in your neighbor? Can you, then, see now, What has been your, and all of milk Churchianity’s, problem? Sub-taught leaders vow, To never slay their damnable, supercilious, god-pride goblin? Even tho you say: just reading the bible sans leaven, And listening to, or becoming, another Milk-way, Mandarin Madman, And with Jesus, stuck somehow (by you?) in heaven, Works to expunge pride? Nope! It makes naught but bad-bad bad-men. So swallow your pride, oh religious daughter or son, Prepare to meet your shorter, younger, older, taller… Much Betters, Where dead body is, vultures on you will pick on, Your religious pride. So honor who removes necrotic, hubris fetters. You know, only Christ-in-You (in one) can do it, Almost kill a soul, non-violently, to get rid of religious pride… to move it, Eyes to see, ears to hear… are a better shoe fit, Pride kills. Humility heals. Hear ye, All pride-bots so ill-begot… get to it! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord!
Isaiah 27:1-4 (MSG) - “At that time (a time in the future when conditions are ripe) God will unsheathe his sword (ITDTs?)… his merciless, mighty sword… (and) he’ll kill [Leviathan - religious pride!] that old dragon [debauched clericalism living in harmony and support of Progressive Slavery or Tribal Slavery] that lives in the sea [of minds.]” Vs. The sad but extremely typical early Twenty-First Century Milk Church Leadership meme: “You have everything to learn from us; we have nothing to learn from you!”
christians are the same old accuser. we can prove them wrong, and they persist at all cost to claim they can judge, merely based on the book they themselves wrote. and they say: it is written. the letter kills us by them. God has allowed it. think about this: jezus supposedly said we are the salt, as if we preserve the earth, which is already dead and we’re eating it. but that’s not the truth. jezus condemned the world. he did not redeem it. this guy is so full of himself! 👑 🤍 love, david
Ravi never took physics at Cambridge and recently admitted he never even enrolled at Cambridge. Notice how he almost always scratches his face when he tells the lie about taking “quantum physics” at Cambridge. He does it again at 35:40. He is a true scoundrel.
I'm imagining a creation, a reality, wherein the omniscient, omnipotent & omnipresent Creator provides an environment filled with that which would naturally motivate that Creator's own created image & likeness to exercise their free will by freely, individually, choosing right over wrong, light over darkness, good over evil & Life over death. Oh, I apologize, I was stupidly imagining from a logical not an absurd perspective, in that; Why WOULDN'T the created image & likeness of a perfect Creator choose the ANTITHESIS OF THEIR OWN ESSENCE? An illogical & absurd premise precludes any possibility of a valid logical explanation of that premise
Steven Pounsett " You will ever be ", is what I believe you meant to write. And since I can only base my assumptions on what I've heard of Ravi's lectures... no, he's not more intelligent or wiser than I am. I find him poor, even for an apologist ( which is saying something ) . I have plenty of respect for his right to say what he says... I just no respect for what he says. If you find what I wrote particularly rude, then perhaps you're too thin-skinned to be on the internet.. But if it makes my point, then that's fine.
Steven Pounsett According to you... he doesn't need to do debates. We both know that won't happen.. but I'm more then happy to refute any nonsense he bats up. He's really quite poor, 90% of his talks are just pointless stories.
***** Depends if he's actually trying to prove something or not. If he is .. then bible tories are pointless. You may as well say that if you can't see the connection between Harry Potter and the world we live in then you too stupid.
Steven Pounsett You keep saying that.. It's your opinion. I disagree. Personally I've never seen him wipe the floor with anyone... and he doesn't seem to even do debates... ever. Funny that.
I was lucky to be introduced to Dr Ravi’s audio tapes early days after I decided to follow Jesus. First audio tape I heard was titled “The Questions of man in agony”, on life of Job, when I was 20 years old, living in a 6 ft x 15ft room located in the remote part of India. Being not so good with English at that time, I had to listen at least 40 times for understanding not even 40% of the content.
Now, it is 25 years since then, didn’t miss any opportunity to attend his meetings in person as well as listen to his video/audios online. I have no words to explain how much Dr Ravi’s life was a greatest inspiration to me and his teachings & presentation will continue to be my role model in life. Dr Ravi, Thank you and thank God for raising people like you who have been a blessing in my life. #ThankYouRavi
God bless you and continue to keep you strong in the faith.
Amen! Please pray the same for me!
@@jg8605 you are already blessed to have known Jesus Christ before your death. There's no privilege like that. More grace brother

Ratnakar Kollipara Praise the Lord. . . My story is quite similar to yours.
even though you are gone ,God is still using you to reach out to man, your very memories are a blessing to people of a sound mind , gone but never will be forgotten God bless you forever Ravi my brother ,
I only found out about Ravi last month. He is so inspiring.
I fully agree Bro.Ravi. I thank GOD for resounding voices like yours that ring through out the earth.
Powerful message to those who have ears to hear.
Listening to it again.. great man of God.. Inspiring and amazing life and testimony. We will really miss you Dr. Ravi Zacharias! Praying for God’s comfort and strength to family! What a life! I’m sure you have a grand welcome in heaven!
Thank you Raviji . The gentle Lion RIP
Thank you for your Godly wisdom that continue to bless us and enable one to find answers from Elohim
This is a man after God own heart, this is the best sermon on Job I have ever heard ! Thank you sir and God be with you each and every day as you teach and reach others the love of Jesus and the meaning of the Cross , that the Cross is not something to be around our neck it something to be hung around our heart
Living in Dubai and this intelligent preacher and defender of the gospel of Jesus Christ has become my online teacher. May Hid grant him more grace to educate us.
Do you feel free to be a Christian in Dubai?
Have seen this video again today. . . I'm living in Pakistan but someday will attend a live program of this brilliant person.
Engineerated I pray this to be true for you.
Amen. Stay strong in our Lord ✌
Engineerated I wish I could see him too one day. Well if I ever can swing it I’ll . I’m Canada though I don’t know how much he comes up here anymore. Good day and God bless you and keep you.
Hey brother. He is not of this world anymore, but his legacy carries on. Have you had a chance to attend church in Pakistan?
@@nevertrustkids Yes, I'm aware of that! The world has lost a great apologist. I'm sad I never got a chance to meet Nabeel and Dr. Ravi. I do attend the church in Pakistan. People here are vulnerable to get attacked but they still are pious and praise God in whatever condition God keeps them.
this is the glory of divine wisdom, beautiful beyond expression,
This is the greatest lesson I have ever heard about Job and the problem of suffering. I can look at my own trials and testings, pain and suffering, and know this is true. The more I suffered the closer I was drawn to Christ, and the more I felt His comfort. He has taught me so much through it all that, Tho' I dread the pain, I look forward to what else He will do in me and the closer relationship with my God that He brings to me by it.
strong friend. Strong indeed a d it is not wrong
For every training God brings to you only make you a better person and a way of making you more like Him. Remember when you have not been hungry, you won't understand what someone is going through when he says "help me, I'M HUNGRY" The Bible says "Our light affliction works for us a far more exceeding weight of Glory". So my dear, keep your head up. More grace
God teaches me through pain things I could have never understand. Answers that now reval themselves to me and blessings that no amount of money could buy.

When I was a child I had to go to the doctor for a painful in office procedure.My father was there,he could not help the pain, But he kept telling me, its alright its alright daddy's here daddy's here.And that did make it alright,when he told me that the pain was still there but the fear was gone.My father was good to me, and I always trusted him,and it was alright,then and now.He has been gone now for forty yrs. But my heavenly father never leaves me,even before I knew I had a heavenly father.
Terry you are so right! Someone's empathetic company and love particularly a close friend/relative/parent is the answer to bearing pain so much better than the answer science gives us - drugs. Love provides an answer to atheists that is much more difficult to refute than a scientific argument.
Bernard Guy Nunns They believe love is just a biological imperative,can you believe how stupid.
Terry Harris Bernard Guy Nunns Yeah... atheists can't love...
Because... ummm... I don't know...
But it sounds good
I never said atheists cant love,dont put wor4ds in my mouth.You are in no way capable of speaking for me.
Terry Harris No what you said was...
" _They_ believe love is just a biological imperative "
So what you said is that atheists don't " love " in the same was that you do... because somehow they think it's a biological imperative.
I'm not putting words in your mouth...
I'm repeating back what you write.
If you don't like it, don't write it in the first place
This is magnificent! What a man of God!
A very powerful message as it has touch my heart. I cannot help but share the message to my love ones and friends. Thank you Ravi for the blessing of sharing the gift God has given you. God bless you, your family & your ministry. Shalom.

Awesome Ravi on FIRE... Preaching with that young passion...
Thank you for sharing this Nathan Prindler. I'm grateful to you, to Ravi and ultimately to God.
Dr Zacharias.
Brilliant as always.
It seems to me that if an atheist doesn't dig too deep into the philosophy of his beliefs, then he could explain pain and suffering to himself as mere chance of the unfortunate that suffer, and they would be angry at no one. But there is a deep flaw within that gnaws at them and they react by going beyond atheism into active anti-theism, perceiving that the mere existence of religion and Christianity in particular is the thorn in their side. So they argue for the removal of crosses and prayers and hymns, trying to convince people that they level the playing field, not realizing that they are invading with a religion of their own with themselves as gods, though they would not call it that.
a full display of the holy spirit in a true Servant of the Lord,this is divine wisdom,
the modern day Apostle Paul.
I needed to hear this.. thank you for posting this.
Beautiful!
The best lesson on Job that I ever heard!
Great Sermon
Ravi, I know you are at rest in Christ and we can't wait to see you again and hug you. You've taught me more than I can express.
One thing that's probably the most beneficial to me as a minister is your example of how to engage with unbelievers in a world so hostile to God. What your mother said was true-"Once you've cut off a person's nose, there's no sense in giving them a rose to smell." That has helped to transform my preaching and sweeten my witness for Christ. Hope to see you soon.
God is teaching us a hard lesson,,,MAN CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO GOVERN HIMSELF...Without Jesus Christ we become futile in our thinking and our foolish hearts are darkened. Jesus will come and he will tabernacle among us and then and only then will man be fully restored
Thanking God for this Insights on Problem of Pain and suffering and the meaning and purpose behind.
God comes to us I rescue as he did to Job as
Creator Designer
Revealed and Comforter
Mediator and Savior
Strengthener and
Wow. Thanking God for Sir Brother Dr. Ravi Zacharias 🙏❤

No Bible no Life. End off. Get saved Now- 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. When you are saved go find MONEY. The Rapture in next---Wherefore comfort one another with these words.. Great Ravi. I agreed with you for once.............
I am Blessed to have heard Ravi again 🙏🙌❤
watching for the 8 time
@weepingsky. He wasn't making a point, he was quoting a skeptic. He also quoted G. K. Chesterton: "When belief in God becomes difficult the tendency is to turn away from Him. But in heaven's name, to what?"
I Love God In Jesus Name Amen
🙏
RAVI Z.....IS WONDERFUL I LOVE THIS. GIFTED MANSAINT
Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son, (John 5:28) Sadly, this includes every person that has ever lived. I would love to be able to pull the veil from the hearts of men. But men loved darkness more than light, lest their deeds be exposed. And so it is, we can have our choice which leads to eternal separation from God and into eternal torment with horror and weeping and grinding teeth, our we can have God's choice which leads to eternal life. So we still have a choice this side of eternity. May you choose wisely, Gentleman or Lady.
wow!
For some reason.. Had to come back here...
God bless you all?
Faith is one of those words that is commonly used but not always understood. Some of that confusion comes from the many different ways the word faith is used in everyday conversation; a quick look at Dictionary.com
shows seven different uses! One common way that people use the word faith is to refer to belief in something despite lacking any evidence for it. But is that what the Bible means by faith? The answer is a resounding no! So, when the Bible uses the word faith, what does it mean?
The closest that the Bible comes to offering an exact definition is Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” From this particular passage we see that the central feature of faith-confidence or trust. In the Bible, the object of faith is God and his promises. A clear example of this is Abram's encounter with God in Genesis 15. In response to God's promise of countless descendants, Abram “believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness” (Gen 15:6). Commenting on this, the Apostle Paul writes, “No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (Rom 4:20-21). Thus, faith means putting your trust in God and having confidence that he will fulfill his promises. Faith is more than intellectual agreement. To use an old illustration, imagine you are at Niagara Falls watching a tightrope walker push a wheelbarrow across the rope high above the falls. After watching him go back and forth several times, he asks for a volunteer to sit in the wheelbarrow as he pushes it across the falls. At an intellectual level, you may believe that he could successfully push you across the rope over the falls, but you are not exercising biblical faith until you get in the wheelbarrow and entrust yourself to the tightrope walker.
Genuine biblical faith expresses itself in everyday life. James writes that “faith by itself, apart from works, is dead” (James 2:17). Faith works through love to produce tangible evidence of its existence in a person's life (Gal 5:6). Put another way, the obedience that pleases God comes from faith (Rom 1:5, 16:26), rather than a mere sense of duty or obligation. There is all the difference in the world between the husband who buys his wife flowers out of delight and one who buys them simply out of duty.
Faith is so important because it is the means by which we have a relationship with God: “For by grace you have been saved through faith” (Eph 2:8). Faith is how we receive the benefits of what Jesus has done for us. He lived a life of perfect obedience to God, died to pay the penalty for our sinful rebellion against God, and rose from the dead to defeat sin, death, and the devil. By putting our faith in him, we receive forgiveness for our sins and the gift of eternal life.
So, faith means relying completely on who Jesus is and what he has done to be made right with God.
Faith is choosing to believe
First of all, the Christian faith professes an unreserved belief in the Bible, God’s Word to mankind - true, tested and unchanging. Faith is also full and unreserved confidence in God, in His love for me, and in His power to help me whatever comes my way in life. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6.
Faith is a choice. I need faith to become a Christian. I choose to believe in Jesus Christ, that He died for my sins, and that by believing in Him, my sins will be forgiven. The promise is clear. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. It is faith in a Person that saves a believing soul, not faith in a particular philosophy or a code of rules.
Every Christian will agree that salvation is a gift, not something we attain to by our own efforts. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. To acknowledge my sin and repent from it is the first and vital step. But I still cannot save myself! “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. To receive this gift, I must believe in and personally accept God’s gift to me in His Son. The forgiveness of sins is a wonderful beginning, and brings great joy to every true believer in Jesus. It is no small thing to have the burden and guilt of sin removed from my conscience!
What comes next?
So I am saved by grace through an act of faith. I choose to believe. Then what? Do I still need faith? Yes! If I want to live a life that pleases the Savior I have believed in. Though the guilt of sin is gone, the indwelling sin in my nature will still be the cause of many temptations. The next verse in Ephesians 2 tells us what God’s thoughts are for us after our initial experience of salvation. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10. So God has something far greater, and even more wonderful in mind for us after we have believed Him for forgiveness.
It is also written in Romans 5:10: “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Jesus’ life was a life of action. “Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.” Hebrews 5:8. To be saved by His life, I need a faith that leads me to action. Paul calls it the obedience to the faith. (Romans 1:5)
Jesus is our great Forerunner, and the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2) All the heroes of faith in the old covenant acted on their faith. They did something. Every one of them believed - and acted! By faith Noah prepared an ark, by faith Abraham obeyed, and so on. (Hebrews 11)
Go to action!
John writes simply: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4. It is this light of Jesus’ life that I need to walk in - go to action! If I really want to obey God’s good laws of life found in His Word, I will soon find myself in a battle
Almost all talk of battles and wars when concerning a Christian life refers to the inner battle that arises when a sinful thought tempts you. God’s Spirit and the flesh are at odds. When you have decided to only do...
, a battle against the sin the light reveals. This is the good fight of faith!
To win this battle, I need to believe in a power outside of myself, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Who has promised that He can save me, and that to the uttermost. (Hebrews 7:25) This ongoing salvation is a work of faith. It has nothing to do with my feelings, which can go up and down like a yo-yo. But when I believe God, and set my heart to obey, even against my feelings or my human understanding, then God goes to action too! He sends grace and help in time of need, and all honor for the salvation gained belongs to Him!
Faith opens the door to a victorious life! By faith, we can truly overcome as He overcame! “This is the victory that overcomes the world - our faith.” 1 John 5:5. I believe in His power to save. I believe that when I take up my cross and deny myself as Jesus did, or as the Scriptures also put it, am “crucified with Christ,” I will be victorious over sin and self. “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.
Faith is a precious possession! As we said to start with, it is not visible or tangible. However, Jesus said to doubting Thomas: “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29. Peter writes about this blessedness also. “… whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8-9. The result of a living faith is both visible and tangible! The disciples saw it and touched it in Jesus, and our calling as Christians is to come to this same joyful and glorious life - by faith! Come join us at Arundel Christian Church web site every Sunday morning LIVE!!!

Moral law giver
Amen
Very good vídeo Nathan, where i can find ALL these old sermons?
integrity. used of Job..crucial to our Christian witness, particularly obvious in 'times of universal deceit'
The argument for the moral law giver makes sense in regards to the question of evil. But how does it answer the question of apparently unnecessary suffering, and the existence of God.
william polson Suffering exists because of the presence of sin in the world. Because we were created with free will, we can choose to do right or wrong. Someone else's decision to do wrong can affect you even though you did not participate in their decision. An easy example is a drunk driver killing a family that was on its way home from a birthday party. The pain of the surviving family members is directly caused by the sin of the drunk driver. God plans to fix this problem of suffering by destroying unrepentant sinners in hell once and for all. Therefore making planet earth a safe and happy place for all its inhabitants forever.
+Kelly SoCal Beautiful The Creed for the Disabled thank you for sharing!
+william polson : It is more important to get a relationship going to understand the nature of God's work in and through ur life. Job had his questions too, but he continued the relationship with God without ceasing. Not only did he believe in a GOd who could bring miraculous healing , but also a God who sustains ur life through a Sickness. We understand only later why God chose Job to carry out a special task. Towards the end of his life Job was blessed with double the portion he initially inherited, but along with that HE HAD AN AUDIENCE FOR GOD. Today he has an audience in me. But suffering is something we as humans opened the gates to, in the Garden of Eden. But even so God did not just stand there and pass comments. He sent his only Son to undergo the suffering too, oly that it was even more because he could have chosen to display his power and majesty and the status of God. But rather went through pain, separation .
+william polson It's when he tells the story of the man who confessed that the lessons he learned in life were learned in times of suffering. Also I believe bad times are an opportunity for us to serve one another and in so doing we grow as human beings as we follow the example of Jesus Christ
Who's here from abstractions?
27:23 - 27:30, 27:33 - 27:39 was used in their video titled "passing".
What's this video about?
About a strange looking dock?
@@jamesstotz1593 Yeah.
What's that dock in?
What state is that dock?
What is it with people feeling closer to God when they are closer to Death?
Most of us just want to taste what is sweet after we proved too much bitter.
Thank you for enlightening my hurting heart and soul Mr. Zacharias. I feel like you’re speaking to me, I feel like I can begin to heal. I will refocus my relationship with God through pain, I know God did not abandon me. God bless you
I miss him? Why so soon , FATHER GOD?

This is not right! This is not even wrong!
Fighting Leviathan, With a Puny Wooden Sword!
By Robert Winkler Burke
Book #8 of In That Day Teachings
Copyright 5/25/11 www.inthatdayteachings.com
Notes from Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Dictionary:
“The book of Job is not only one of the most remarkable in the Bible, but in literature. As was said of Goliath’s sword, ‘There is none like it,’ none in ancient or in modern literature.” - Kitto. “A book which will one day, perhaps, be seen towering up alone far above all the poetry of the world.” - J. A. Froude. Nelson’s comments say that the true identity of who wrote Job has remained throughout time: a mystery.
“Do not break the person, break his desire to attack you. Provide the illusion that your opponent still has control, but make sure he does not.” - Mikhail Ryabko, Russian Martial Art Systema Master
I must not hurt huge Leviathan,
As it swoops down on me!
Dragon’s flame kills and maims,
I’ll soon be history!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
Yet, I must not hurt Leviathan,
Its skin is tough and brittle!
His pride is ridiculous big,
And I am less than little!
We fight for hours,
Oh, we fight for days on end!
Then, when it’s over,
The beast gets up again!
My puny wooden sword damages it not,
I’m like a grasshopper against a giant!
Then it lays down, coughs up its heart,
Upon its tongue, now on me: reliant!
Leviathan now relies on me,
To treat its heart with care!
No longer enemies, but fast friends,
I approach on God’s dare!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
With my too-small wooden sword,
I walk into the danger zone, such biting teeth of dread!
To the heart, now on the tongue,
I gently touch my sword, out gush bright drops of red!
From the sword come good drops,
Of God’s ancient-wisdom self-sacrifice,
Then Beast wakes up changed,
Swallows heart and renews its old vice!
Cruelly taking advantage of my nearness,
Leviathan scorches me in full-blown rage!
I fight him off again with wooden sword,
Behold! Beast doth weaken! says my Page.
For my Page greatly knows what’s going on,
Not long ago, HE was THE bad Leviathan!
You see, we fought for years! Way too long!
His dual was an excruciating marathon!
But after a thousand drops from God’s cross,
My Page was, of Beast, set free!
Now he’s learning to be God’s Man-of-War,
Who fights evil, just like me!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
After days and months and years,
My Page and I have succeeded!
Leviathan whom we fought,
Is full humble now: defeated!
My Page has become a Swordsman,
That Leviathan: HIS own Page,
I have left off sword for pen,
That you understand this age!
So then, pride of religion and its blinding selfish-rigidness,
Is killing man!
Just as loving kindness, humility, patience and flexibility,
Kills Leviathan!
Job learned this In That Day,
Of his: long ago!
Now we must all learn the same!
You do not know?
Holy flexibility,
Is where Christ-in-You is at!
You’ll remember the fight,
When the Rigid lose all that!
You’ll remember the fight,
When, as rigid Leviathan, you with great enmity: hated your betters!
Who took your blows nobly,
And with kind, wooden, bloody swords, removed your blind fetters.
How you’ll hate that forgiving blood of Jesus,
Applied drops at a time on your stony heart!
Until you see it is not the end,
But the Christ-in-You: Page-Warrior start!
You’ll then, Rigid Ones, be on the,
Other side of the sword!
You’ll say, as Job did, I repent!
In dust and ashes, Lord!
And if you were particularly mean,
And hurtful to your dear-brave Warrior-Savior,
God will give you a willow-wimpy sword,
To fight Leviathan, inside of your neighbor!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
You might say,
Well, it serves me just about right!
Rip me up,
Leviathan! It’s time to fight!
I shall not return evil for evil,
From proud, religiously-rigid man,
He may hurt me, but me never: him,
He’ll get what I have in me: I AM!
The great I AM,
Wants to live in us all!
In That Day it’s,
A strange work: yet not small!
It’s a BIG thing,
When Leviathan pride dies!
And Christ-in-You,
Trumpets: loud victory cries!
Yet and even much so,
Your pride in all this will be choked: by your own reins,
By the smallish sword,
You’ll be given, to do the large work that remains!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
You might ask me, where did I learn all this?
That it’s a pride-fight and that Leviathan isn’t a dinosaur true!
I learned it by reading the Book of Job,
From the Warrior-Prophet, not a Page, whose name is Elihu!
This great, but young, Warrior-Prophet,
Had heard so much talk of churchy-religious pride,
Elihu wrote all of Job’s book,
Yet pride in work: egoless, he did prodigious hide!
Elihu hid his authorship,
And prophetic voice with Job!
That following Workmen,
Would put this in their brain’s globe…
Religious-Pride is Leviathan! (It’s a smallish issue with beginners!)
Leviathan is Religious-godly-Pride! (Clericalism makes biggest sinners!)
I write this, as your proud author,
Oops! That beast is hard to hide!
Where is my bent, old wooden sword?
God, I lay my heart upon my swag tongue!
Knowledge puffeth me up… in pride,
Touch me now, oh blood of God’s Son!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
But you protest,
Only Jesus! Jesus alone! He alone (ALONE!) is your Savior!
Never you’d let,
Yourself acknowledge: He can be greater in your neighbor?
Can you, then, see now,
What has been your, and all of milk Churchianity’s, problem?
Sub-taught leaders vow,
To never slay their damnable, supercilious, god-pride goblin?
Even tho you say: just reading the bible sans leaven,
And listening to, or becoming, another Milk-way, Mandarin Madman,
And with Jesus, stuck somehow (by you?) in heaven,
Works to expunge pride? Nope! It makes naught but bad-bad bad-men.
So swallow your pride, oh religious daughter or son,
Prepare to meet your shorter, younger, older, taller… Much Betters,
Where dead body is, vultures on you will pick on,
Your religious pride. So honor who removes necrotic, hubris fetters.
You know, only Christ-in-You (in one) can do it,
Almost kill a soul, non-violently, to get rid of religious pride… to move it,
Eyes to see, ears to hear… are a better shoe fit,
Pride kills. Humility heals. Hear ye, All pride-bots so ill-begot… get to it!
Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
I have but a wooden sword!
From the cross, that victory tree,
Of Christ, my humble Lord!
Isaiah 27:1-4 (MSG) - “At that time (a time in the future when conditions are ripe) God will unsheathe his sword (ITDTs?)… his merciless, mighty sword… (and) he’ll kill [Leviathan - religious pride!] that old dragon [debauched clericalism living in harmony and support of Progressive Slavery or Tribal Slavery] that lives in the sea [of minds.]”
Vs.
The sad but extremely typical early Twenty-First Century Milk Church Leadership meme: “You have everything to learn from us; we have nothing to learn from you!”
christians are the same old accuser. we can prove them wrong, and they persist at all cost to claim they can judge, merely based on the book they themselves wrote. and they say: it is written. the letter kills us by them. God has allowed it. think about this: jezus supposedly said we are the salt, as if we preserve the earth, which is already dead and we’re eating it. but that’s not the truth. jezus condemned the world. he did not redeem it.
this guy is so full of himself!

Ravi never took physics at Cambridge and recently admitted he never even enrolled at Cambridge. Notice how he almost always scratches his face when he tells the lie about taking “quantum physics” at Cambridge. He does it again at 35:40. He is a true scoundrel.
Time to stop theses re-runs?
I'm imagining a creation, a reality, wherein the omniscient, omnipotent & omnipresent Creator provides an environment filled with that which would naturally motivate that Creator's own created image & likeness to exercise their free will by freely, individually, choosing right over wrong, light over darkness, good over evil & Life over death.
Oh, I apologize, I was stupidly imagining from a logical not an absurd perspective, in that;
Why WOULDN'T the created image & likeness of a perfect Creator choose the
ANTITHESIS OF THEIR OWN ESSENCE?
An illogical & absurd premise precludes any possibility of a valid logical explanation of that premise
Logical explanations don't change the fact that violence, suffering and death are a part of this world that human wisdom cannot fix.
Wow, atheism doesn't explain anything.
A man in agony? Was he being forced to listen to Ravi at the time?
Because then I could understand the pain.
Thats a bit rude.
Ravi is more intelligent and wise than you will ever.
Have some respect.
Steven Pounsett " You will ever be ", is what I believe you meant to write.
And since I can only base my assumptions on what I've heard of Ravi's lectures... no, he's not more intelligent or wiser than I am.
I find him poor, even for an apologist ( which is saying something ) .
I have plenty of respect for his right to say what he says... I just no respect for what he says.
If you find what I wrote particularly rude, then perhaps you're too thin-skinned to be on the internet.. But if it makes my point, then that's fine.
Roper122 well ok then lets see you go and debate him el genius...
Steven Pounsett According to you... he doesn't need to do debates.
We both know that won't happen.. but I'm more then happy to refute any nonsense he bats up. He's really quite poor, 90% of his talks are just pointless stories.
***** Depends if he's actually trying to prove something or not.
If he is .. then bible tories are pointless.
You may as well say that if you can't see the connection between Harry Potter and the world we live in then you too stupid.
lol you mean reasonable people who have unreasonable emotional barriers to belief in God.
ITS SIX YEAR. IF YOU ARE STILL ALIVE HAVE YOU CHANGED UR MIND?
Dr Zacharias.
Brilliant as always.
Steven Pounsett Opinions vary...
Roper122 thats not just my opinion.
He'd still wipe the floor with you intellectually in any debate...
Steven Pounsett You keep saying that..
It's your opinion. I disagree.
Personally I've never seen him wipe the floor with anyone... and he doesn't seem to even do debates... ever.
Funny that.
Roper122 he doesnt need to.
Thats why hes the one of if not the worlds leading apologist on earth.
Jackarse.
Steven Pounsett Riiiiiiight.
He doesn't need to.
And again... he's not even a good apologist, let alone the world's best.
Nice name calling though.
