Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@pamelabroce9973 says : Help me Lord to live by the evidence not by my feelings. Thank You!!! Thank you Aalisa!!!>> <<@MarkDouglass-dt9ky says : Alisa is hot. Beautiful.>> <<@EmilyPloegman says : Thank you for this well thought out video. Excited to share it with youth in our church>> <<@mi-ka-eltheguardian3837 says : Ok but here's one question: if I shouldn't trust my own mind, why should I trust whatever conclusion my mind produces about the evidence I'm examining? In other words: If by looking at the evidence I come to the conclusion that yes, Christianity is real, why would I trust my own deceptive mind?>> <<@OorangeCat says : Unrelated but didn't paul say that women can't be teachers? I Timothy 2:12, “I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man.” May God bless you though>> <<@echoesofthepast-w1u says : Repent, be baptised, receive the Holy Spirt, walk in Christ. That is how to get saved and how to stay saved. Both the evidence and the experience are bound within that simple Scriptural truth!>> <<@MegaAce54 says : I never read the Bible. l never investigated the claims of Christianity. I couldn't have cared less about GOD prior to my born again experience. GOD reached down and gave a transcendent experience I will never forget and to which I never recovered from. I am now a born again believer, a Christian, and I haven't read one Bible verse yet!>> <<@tarp-grommet says : There's an elephant in the room - you keep talking about evidence but don't provide any. And by the way - the phrase "famous evangelist" is the same as "slick con man with a bible".>> <<@mharzmhason1787 says : Help me!!! I told everyone about the same thing about this in the church that I’ve been with. They blacklisted me!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭 they call me all sort of names. They even brought up a negative judgement about my past just because I was former atheist.>> <<@lucianseekinglove says : What if being an evidential investigator and studying Christian apologetics leads me to doubt Christianity even more and lean more towards agnosticism, as it did to numerous other people who studied Christian apologetics and ended up agnostics?>> <<@Hueman163 says : Jeremiah 17:9 "The HEART is deceitfully wicked. Who can know it." Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the lord with all your (deceitfully wicked) HEART and lean not on your understanding" Hmm....>> <<@icecoolguita says : Hi I'm having a tough time understanding what evidence means in this context. I've been brought up relying on my personal encounters in Christ and seeing God's work in other peoples lives. I think you make some good points I really need to think about, so I'm wondering if evidence is referring to something like Romans 1:20? "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Or is it historical evidence? Studying apologetics? Or something else?>> <<@devonmoore3289 says : Don't trust evidence either. Atheists trust evidence. The children of God trust their fathers word.>> <<@Melody.Joy.23 says : When I finally decided to look at the evidence and take a critical look at the Bible, I became agnostic. 🤷🏻‍♀️>> <<@OrthoGoat says : What a cope! I think if you look at the early church this was not mentioned.>> <<@claytondykstra3301 says : I see the same rhetoric in the "my cousin got COVID and wasn't that bad, so why should I wear a mask" mentality.>> <<@doarbiblia says : Correct ! 🙏🙌💖>> <<@entropyrulez says : You've had experiences that you subscribe to the transcendence. But the same feelings can be triggered in a laboratory or in a completely non devine situation. I have had the most strong 'transcendent' feelings while meditating. So yes you are right.those feelings say nothing.. Now you claim that out feelings lie, thus you pretend to know that God doesn't like rock concerts. That is just something.tlu cannot demonstrate. God might inspire people to make Rock music. That's not sin. I was trusting to get some evidence for God. But nothing Just nonsense. Nothing that even comes close to anything that's even remotely.demonstrated truth. So it's just a.claim without any substantiation. Hmmm disappointing.>> <<@MrPryce-d5l says : I believe there is room for both, trusting in experiences and trusting the evidence. Experiences showcase and demonstrate evidence. Evidence bring experience. I would say we should examine our experiences and not dwell on evidence. Experiences are ingrained in the memory of people, they shape who we are and what we believe. Evidence is what product of experiences brings. Evidence can come from thinking and learning and studying, and experience is action based. But technically they are one and the same, and have the same value, and same results.>> <<@drummermomcjs says : Great video. God is real, and his reality stands, regardless of our changing feelings and thoughts.>> <<@believewithyourheart5627 says : Brilliant, thankyou so much! My experiences confirm a lot for me, but don't help anyone else! We definitely need to know how 'to give an answer to those who ask" God bless you!>> <<@toddgraves8547 says : I belive in both evidential apologetics .and presuppositional apologetics. You cant only rely on evidence.. very smart people will try to tell you virgins dont give birth, and men dont rise from the dead , tehy will tell yoi men dont walk on water or feed 5000 with a few loves and fish. You have to have faith despite there being no evidence that people can rise from the dead. The evidence is wonderful but if you only rely on evidence there will be so many things you wont belive untill you can prove them with evidence. There is enough evidrnce to show you that Christ is who he is.. but we must have faith to belive those things of which there is no evidence. Intellictual assent is not enough.>> <<@nothingbutthetruth613 says : You are forgetting one very important reason why experiences are not enough...not even close. Every religion that ever existed and that exists today has the same amount of people all saying they have experienced the same spiritual moment confirming that only their religion is true. I have some news for you. Only one belief system can be right but they are all populated by those who will claim the exact same thing that their religion is true because of their spiritual experiences. In other words, having something happen to you that seems to confirm your religion is worth absolutely nothing if you have no evidence what you actually believe is true. The experiences you have are obviously worthless. Now that it's clear a transcendental experience means nothing, you will obviously agree that you NEED evidence and since there is absolutely no evidence to anything in Christianity, we've got a slight problem here, don't you think?>> <<@krisguntner4805 says : Brad pitt has actually turned back to god since 2019. :) He's said turning away was "youthful rebellion".>> <<@magooccna says : I waited for till the end but you didn't mention any evidence. Why should I stay?>> <<@bradharford6052 says : I think there is a balance between evidence and experience. If we cannot trust our heavenly Father to protect us in both our feelings/experiences, and our evidence/knowledge, then can we trust Him at all? Yes we can.>> <<@DorrianBridges says : You should clarify that it’s important to have both because when our walk realistically has both. Head knowledge doesn’t change hearts, it changes minds. Both are necessary and important.>> <<@DevinAdint says : If there are feeling but no reality then you have delusion, if you have reality but no feelings then you have no heart, no conviction, you have nothing. It is when reality and conviction come together that there is transformation. Yes look for the evidence but also consider its implications let the heart consider and weigh its significance.>> <<@rc.... says : Definitely, a Buddhist or Muslim too can quote their version of miracle or experience.>> <<@halfigliulo1019 says : Evidence proves Jesus isn't the messiah. Luke and Matthew prove it. He filled none of the prophecies>> <<@Mark-pe2sh says : 10% of pastors and 10% of those in church are born-again.>> <<@randystevens1690 says : Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 10:16, says the Lord; I will put My laws into thier hearts, and in thier minds, I will write them.>> <<@godmakesallthingsnew2626 says : Blessed are those who have believed without seeing - Jesus>> <<@danmarley2886 says : Paul said that our faith should stand in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power along with his preaching. Jesus told a man that he would not believe unless he saw a miracle. God gives you a reason to believe, he knows what it takes to make you believe. Christians try the spirits whether they are of God. Grace and Peace!>> <<@gerryquinn5578 says : I meet all kinds of people from different Christian denominations. Many claim a personal 'experience' of some kind which convinces them that they have the truth. I simply ask them why their experience should be accepted and all the others rejected.>> <<@goshareyourown says : Amen, thank you sister.>> <<@MattHalpain says : This is a super important video explaining my testimony in Christ to me about evidence vs. experience. Saul become Paul had duel conversion he saw and heard Christ on the road to Damascus. Paul's experience of seeing Christ reinforced his knowledge of Christ. Saul believed he was acting for good on God's behalf by persecuting, imprisoning, and killing Christians. Saul had a conviction of God before he become Christian from his experience of seeing Christ on the road to Damascus.>> <<@savedbymylovegodthelordjes8394 says : praise the Lord and God bless you all glory be to the HOLY TRINITY forever and ever amen>> <<@bransrubar says : Great video>> <<@hsingh5650 says : great video!! how do I know that the resurrection of Jesus isn't another conspiracy that isn't real e.g. global warming? I don't trust much information on anything which is making me doubt the historical evidence for the resurrection.>> <<@Smitywerban says : And what's in evidence is the following: souls aren't real, evolution is real, god is not real, morality is subjective and the bible is wrong about almost everything.>> <<@Kevin-lw2gl says : Experience I believe is necessary for some but not to others. That's why Jesus said "Blessed those who have not seen and yet still believed." We must understand that the Gospel was spread out through the miracles Jesus and the disciples were performing and so people believed. I became a Christian through some pretty vivid experiences which confirmed to me that everything in the Bible is true. But of course, scripture is what has supported my experiences as evidence.>> <<@yaz5478 says : Follow Jesus Christ he loves us all repent of your sins amen 🙏🏾>> <<@godmakesallthingsnew2626 says : I absolutely dislike this kind of "Christian" teaching. It's highly unbiblical because encountering Jesus IS an experience. This confuses people & can actually do a lot more harm than good. We need to have wisdom & discernment. Countless examples in the Bible where people had experiences with the Lord, from the old testament to the new. If they hadn't trusted those experiences, oh Lord! If Paul had said, oh no my experience I had encountering Jesus on the road was just "feelings." We must be careful!!!! These teachings are heretical>> <<@DTkinetic says : I disagree. While I acknowledge that it's beneficial to have knowledge of scientific evidence that points you to the Lord, this evidence > experience undercuts the life-changing power and testimonies that can change a person through the Holy Spirit. People have been delivered from drugs, suicide, alcohol and depression or have found immense, superior relief from finding Christ. This is just assuming that every new believer goes to a 'concert' and in their excitement becomes a Christian.>> <<@nrcarl00 says : Great video!!>> <<@childoftheking2214 says : This is a wise woman doing her best to bring sanity back to the church. Thank you Alisa.>> <<@simplyseculardave says : You SAY Evidence, but I think that you are confusing the term Evidence, with Dogma. All of the examples that you gave here, were anecdotes. The plural of anecdotes, is NOT evidence. If you would like to see an example of a secular person who is dying, and what they are going through, Check out Dave Warnock's 'Dying out loud'>> <<@Daniel_Grgic says : I guess I’m blessed I never had a singular, magical moment.>> <<@Angry-Minister says : I can tell you this, before Christ I loved AC/DC and Metallica, G n R and Prince, now, that music makes me feel so uncomfortable that I get nauseated when I hear it. It is absolutely horrible. And when I listen to Gaither, I feel Almighty God all around me and I can't get enough. I haven't listened to secular music in years. And hearing God's name taken in vain makes me afraid and hurt. I want to serve Him better every day and before Christ, I didn't even consider Him at all. Paul Washer said that the moment we're saved some things stop immediately and some things gradually cease over time and with great struggle.I believe that. The point is there's evidence for Salvation. We must examine ourselves and look at what the evidence points to.>>
