There is no definitive physical or archaeological evidence of the existence of Jesus, even as a person, let alone the personification of some made-up sky fairy. It's self-delusional nonsense.

How can one tell the difference? Can I become a Christian by simply asking or is it something that god has to call me to? If he doesn’t do something in me I won’t even know to ask nor does asking mean anything. Calvinists say you can’t even ask.

@@mr.c2485 Becoming a Christian isn't about asking something, it's about believing God. Two things: 1. God has made known we're all sinful and incapable of working our way to him by our own effort (Romans 3:20 & 23), but: 2. Because God loves us Jesus died to pay the debt that we owed as consequence for our sin, and gives us a promise that if we trust in him rather than in ourselves we are counted as righteous (Romans 3:24-26, 4:5-8). If you believe God's word and trust he's telling the truth on those two points, congrats you're a Christian. He tells you right there that you can be justified before him, the only qualifier being whether you believe him or not. Jesus rose from the dead as proof that his words are trustworthy, and his promise is to do the same for anyone who believes him. John 6:40

Thanks for having Philip Yancey - I have all but several of his books and they were a life line. During a very difficult time I remembered the last lines from In His Image which I'd read more than a decade before "He has been here . . . The pain of man has become the pain of God". He must be carrying an incredible load of pain right now. One of my favorites is Yancey's Reaching for the Invisible God.

The Founding Fathers were far from perfect but one of their greatest insights was to understand that giving preference to one religion or one denomination in government compromises the freedom of everyone. Both parties in their respective ways have betrayed this first principle of our constitution. I'm not especially concerned what anyones private belief or practice is. But I do care whether or not they feel entitled to enshrine their private beliefs into law and regulation and force other people to bow down to it.

They were just community leaders of reasonable intelligence with some brilliant insights into how the whole king or dictator thing just doesn't work, and proposed a highly practical and effective alternative. Gun laws need to be updated to ensure we don't have modern weapons of war in civilian hands. The gun lobby wants to sell us all bazookas and lasers, and personal tanks if they thought they could get away with it

Over and over again I keep hoping a video of Philip will not include him dishonoring his mother. The easy thing to do is to continue to talk about who hurt you instead of who you hurt and who you are hurting now in the church. The conversation includes so many me and I statements. the The hard and correct thing to do is to put this behind you and deal with it with God. That is so worth the work involved. But after this many decades, you continue with this. Just wish I could find a video of you speaking of something other than your family and how the church failed you and talk about a new topic as you are a great writer.

This was so frustrating. I am a Christian who left the church - not because of racism, nor politics, abuse, pain or people. It was the promise of a relationship with God that killed my spirit. This episode gave easy answers to hard questions. It didn't address where we should turn when the church, prayer and experienced Christians cannot give us the relationship with God we crave.

Ok. I have lost all confidence in Yancey and now some in Unbelievable. There is a difference between grace and just plain weakness, man pleasing, liberal relativism and dragging grace down to the level of the natural and mundane. "The church ought to become this and that"; and "what is the church doing wrong" blah blah blah. Taking all criticism as valid is a problem in the church. What about when the critic is wrong which is very often. It's not about catering to the critic and making the church accountable to the critic either. There is also the problem of calling that which is not the church--the church by people who are not the church but think they are
