Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ibelongtojesus0316 says : Being equipped is super duper important before leaving home....>> <<@johnnym4594 says : Sometimes we are the answers to our own prayers. We can pray that they go to college and keep there faith. So, we must give them evidence so they don’t, we are the answer.>> <<@HandlingYou says : Sometimes I go to Christians comment sections for discussion but I get stuck reading all the self hate comments and start thinking… Damn thank god I’m not a christian 😂y’all just hate yourselves and want everyone else to experience the same>> <<@Kaymen1980 says : What do these kids need arguments for..? It's almost if you know they have never experienced Jesus.. What's up with that?>> <<@paulrock4816 says : The Lord knows how to deliver his out of temptation. Even just Lot was delivered. I find when I stand alone, I remember Paul's prayer to be delivered, the Lord responded my Grace is enough. In our weakness, He (Jesus) is strong in us. Never do I feel alone even when I'm alone because I know how all this ends, because I cheated I looked in the back of the book & I saw the winner stand tall & bright on a white horse. & on his thigh was written Lord of Lords & King of King's. I remember when he rose from the dead I said I go to my Lord & your Lord & my God & your God. And I know he included me in his victory.>> <<@diggy1108 says : We are ALL sinners that fall short of the glory of God. And we ALL are deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (sin is evil and it is the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus suffered soooo much for us, and that’s why He died on the cross for ALL our sins (past, present, AND future sins) and rose from the dead 3 days later! Jesus did all this because He loves us sooooo much, you can’t even fully comprehend it! And you may have eternal life with Him if you repent (to change your mind about Jesus, to believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord our God) and have faith in Him, then you will be saved! (Let’s make it clear that being a good person WILL NOT get you into Heaven! You can only be saved by the grace God will show you, if you repent and have faith in Jesus and in what Jesus did for us on the cross and that He rose from the dead 3 days after He died for us! ONLY THEN, will you will be saved)! And do not wait because you do not know when you will die (sit and think deeply about that. You have NO CLUE when you will die! Today could be your last day, tonight could be your last night. You can die in your sleep or even in the next hour!) I want you to realize how urgent and important it is to have Jesus! But if you have Jesus, you will NEVER have to worry! You won’t have to worry about school, family problems, life, or EVEN DEATH because you will have the LORD your GOD, RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE HOUR, EVER SINGLE MINUTE and EVERY SINGLE SECOND of your life! GOD can help you through ANY challenge, through ANY hardship, and through ANY depressing time in your life! GOD WILL NEVER leave you, GOD WILL NEVER forget about you, GOD WILL NEVER betray you, GOD WILL NEVER forsake you, and GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!! And that is why GOD is calling you RIGHT NOW to be saved!!!!>> <<@stephendugan7862 says : There isn't a single, accredited college or university on this planet that in anyway promotes athiesm. The material that gets taught is just the most up to date information that is supported by the evidence for that particular subject. If students are leaving the church, could be from the critical thinking skills that are required to succeed at that level and are being used to realize that a God is not needed to explain anything in the natural world. You are free to believe in what you wish, but children should not be forced to believe in bronze age myths.>> <<@christyfloyd2887 says : Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation.>> <<@annapobst says : CrossExamined and Frank, you guys are awesome, wonderful!!! I am so very greatful for your work 🙌🙌🙌>> <<@zeddicuszorrander3599 says : Preparing young Christians to deal with the outside world is a good thing, but Frank Turek isn't the man for the job. He's a glorified Ray Comfort. He refuses to listen to people. He doesn't care about people. All he cares about is being the Big Man in his congregation, and his arguments are old, out-dated, and pre-disputed.>> <<@mbkkt9094 says : How about actually letting young people go out and hear different perspectives, without assuming everything is going to be a battle they need to be prepared for?>> <<@saxmanjpr5092 says : UH! NO! "The Pastors Daughter never falls away?" Dude! The first pastors daughter I new was a BI SEXUAL and she was getting it on with her girlfriend during the teenage "sleepovers." The Pastor / Dad NEVER KNEW even though the "friend" was sitting next to his daughter when he had "the talk" with ME about being too close emotionally with his daughter since I DID honestly attempt to view her as the sister I never had since my blood sister had been killed when I was a baby! I hope to see this comment Frank! All y'all NEED TO WAKE UP and pull your head out of where the sun don't shine!>> <<@saxmanjpr5092 says : Thats like my repose to the church that constantly tells me that "they are praying for me," and so I like watch them say "OH! SNAP!" The RUN when I ask them to pray for me because I am still going through the Oedipus Complex as an adult because I never knew my mother who would have taught me about what sex correctly is!>> <<@rolandwatts3218 says : 1. I think apologists themselves have a huge problem. As long as believers keep within a Christian bubble, apologetics appears impressive. However the moment believers move away from the bubble, most apologetic arguments which are presented with such incredible confidence by apologists, turn out to be, at best, not necessarily good arguments. At worst they turn out to be pure bunk. Maybe the old church fathers had real skills, living as they did in largely pre-scientific cultures. Their apologetics were often brilliant. But these days, the context has changed, thanks to science. 2. When kids who have lived in a Christian bubble move out into the world, they learn about reality. It's healthy for them to do this, even though it comes with risks. Non Christian parents have the same problems. It's risky when kids grow up and move out into the world. 3. Like theism, atheism is not a world view. Both form part of a world view. Atheism simply denies that the supernatural exists. Theism claims that it does exist. However, both within the atheist camp and within the theist camp, individuals believe all kinds of different, and often conflicting things. So there has to be more to "world view" than just - "God exits" or "God does not exist".>> <<@NewCreationInChrist896 says : John 10:27-28 🐑 💝 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.">> <<@jkinze says : I just love read the comments of the unbelievers in Frank's channel. My fellow Christians, it's how you know Frank's channel is growing.>> <<@literally-just-a-leaf says : I disagree firmly with this, because it is saying we shouldn't let out children decide what they want to believe in, even if they find our, Jesus isn't the Saviour. Mabye the Prophet Muhammad is, or mabye there is no God. Why do you need to protect your adult child from other worldviews? Is it because your scared that they'll realise christianity isn't infallible, because if so, you truly sicken me>> <<@civilization57 says : The biggest lie Christians tell each other is that "God is in control" therefore we don't have to worry about anything. This widespread delusion has no basis in Scripture, history, daily life observations or common sense, yet it persists.>> <<@AJx7 says : Wait 3 out of 4 kids that leave the home no longer believe in god? If 75% of people convert to a new ideology once theirs is tested maybe there is something to it…..>> <<@AllyMooring says : Having the right tools is very important.>> <<@simplyseculardave says : If Christianity were true, wouldn't the Truth be the right answer? If an honest discussion about religion is going to lead most people to a position where they do not believe that there is enough evidence to justify a belief in a deity... maybe that just IS the answer. Maybe you shouldn't be be making acrobatic leaps in logic which often defy logic, to support a belief for which their is insufficient evidence..? Maybe if your kids have a better foundation of epistemology that you do, that's actually a Good thing. Admitting that the truth will lead them away, and leave them apologetically unprepared to defend the position of god belief... is a Really Big Concession for this channel. What Franck is proposing is like telling your children that "Everything in life is free", when it absolutely is not, then handing them a bunch of money to pay for everything and exclaiming "See! everything is Free! hooray".>> <<@passthebaton7916 says : There seems to be more of a push all the time to simply discredit the Bible itself. If they can get you to doubt that then nothing else matters!>> <<@m.d.sharpe8892 says : Counter arguments only go so far, the world seems to becoming increasingly radical in their thinking, to the point where reason is tossed out the window if it doesn't align with prevailing thought>> <<@savedbymylovegodthelordjes8394 says : praise the Lord and God bless you all glory be to the HOLY TRINITY forever and ever amen>> <<@brianroberts5672 says : Trouble is we have an unfair situation once the youngsters reach college. Many have been brainwashed with religious fantasy on a daily basis from birth and all political extremists and religious leaders know how effective that is. No doubt there are a few stories of students from atheist backgrounds being converted. Personally I think religious indoctrination of children is child abuse and should not be allowed in schools. If you must waste educational time, present each side with equal time and commitment from the beginning.>> <<@bobwhelan5636 says : If you're equipping these children/young adults with the dumb anecdotes, fallacies, and baseless assertions you lot call evidence, are you really surprised that the young are leaving the church?>> <<@ambermichealshotkinkyjo15 says : So God didn't or won't protect them>> <<@greghunter5966 says : It’s sad when you send your kid to a faith based school and the professors change their minds from the faith you built in them. Watch out if you send your kids to any college>> <<@Columbo-r4z says : Please don’t get so educated as you stop believing what we taught you.>> <<@incredulouspasta3304 says : It's weird that people with a "personal relationship" with God are being picked off by "arguments." If you've somehow been convinced that your cousin doesn't exist, what's the solution? Philosophical arguments, or meeting your cousin?>> <<@choosejesus1910 says : I think the young mostly don't want to believe is because they're burning with passion and can't control it. Too bad people don't get married at a young age like they used to do because of how society has changed so much that it's creating adult children.>> <<@xyon9090 says : *When you realize* You're in College but watching this with my "Glowing Rectangle" Not all people stray away from Christianity, but young adults of my Age sure do have lots of skepticism.>> <<@alanbaraka9800 says : Well for starters you could prepare them by providing testable evidence to show your god is real.>> <<@yaz5478 says : I’m going to be learning about evolution at school and I am scared about how to talk about creation.>> <<@Columbo-r4z says : College is a place of education. These kids simply grow up and grow out of religion because it’s nonsense. Yes, they have these devises that they can quickly learn that the bible is false and their religion is too.>> <<@samuelflores1419 says : We Need to Pray for Our Kids, but the Kids Also Need to Pray and Keep God First in Their Lives! Sometimes Parents Shelter their kids So When they Get Out and get their First Taste of Freedom They go Nuts!>> <<@bucmcmaster says : Atheism is not a world view. It is simply the disbelief in any god due to lack of sufficient evidence.......that's it. There is no atheistic dogma, no teachings and no position on any other issue. You say 3 of 4 young people walk away from the church after being exposed to the secular world. If this is true perhaps there is something to be taken from this: once out from under religious indoctrination they learn how to better evaluate the assertions and claims of religious teachings and begin to think critically rather than just accept as truth that which has been presented to them on faith alone. There are no good reasons to believe in religious dogma, only faith, and one could believe anything at all on faith alone.>> <<@sufficientinside336 says : Proof prayer works?>> <<@jeffphelps1355 says : There is no counter argument at college, they feed them Marxism and claim anyone who disagrees with them are fascist or racist>> <<@MLeoM says : Jesus never said pray and sit at home.>> <<@Wanderer24 says : Hey, as a new college student I greatly appreciate this. I'm definitely trying to equip myself with these arguments so keep up the good work>> <<@dtdbkarma9086 says : This is only my experience, but I've found the exact opposite of the situation described in this video. I came from an agnostic family (mum is non-practicing Presbyterian, sister is atheist, and pre-university I was atheistic Buddhist-leaning) who have always supported my freedom of what to believe. It was in my second year that the Lord revealed Himself to me and I immediately wanted to be baptized. Of course I'm not the strongest Christian there ever was, I struggle with sin more than most, but I constantly pray to the Lord to help me want to stop these evil things that I do on a regular basis. I just think it speaks to the incredible power of God that He could take someone like me, who actively dismissed Christianity as myth, and turn me into someone who prays regularly and awaits Christ's return. I think what's important is to not punish kids for not believing in God, but to teach them to keep an open mind, because if my life is worth anything, it is to show that Christ can, and will, reveal Himself. (Edit: forgot a couple of pretty significant words and realized when reading it over, also better punctuation for ease of reading)>> <<@StruckDownNotDestroyed says : Many schools and colleges are now engaging in indoctrination rather than education. Telling kids what to think instead of teaching them how to think. It's not only a disservice to them on our part to send them to institutions like that but to have given them Christianity without facts and reason for why it's true and the understanding that the unbelieving world is personally hostile to it. They should be well grounded in the faith and confident in their beliefs before they're sent into such places that will do everything they can to talk, mock, pressure and even persecute them out of it.>> <<@kevinclint7588 says : Praise Jesus Christ our Lord and savior who died for our sins and rose again from the dead thank you Lord for your Holy Word,……. Amen>> <<@jonathanwilliams6922 says : God bless you>> <<@brianroberts5672 says : Religion will inevitably lose. Frank proposes equipping the students with evidence. If there was any evidence there would be far fewer atheists. As for prayer, there is no evidence it makes a jot of difference.>> <<@piegros says : Good>>
