00:00:00
Am I going to hell?
00:00:01
>> Yes. But here's the thing. Everybody is
00:00:04
going to hell. And it's not because they
00:00:06
don't believe in God. And look, I'm a
00:00:08
historian and a theologian. So, I study
00:00:10
ancient biblical manuscripts. And if you
00:00:12
truly understand what this book is
00:00:14
saying, I don't want you to experience
00:00:17
that.
00:00:17
>> This is not a place I want to go. So,
00:00:19
what do I do about that?
00:00:20
>> It's not about trying to earn my way
00:00:22
into heaven. It's not about checking
00:00:24
off. I read the Bible as many times. I
00:00:26
didn't lie. I didn't steal. I didn't
00:00:27
cheat. Like, it's none of that. But
00:00:29
here's the problem. Unfortunately, we
00:00:31
bought the lie that we are the sum of
00:00:33
our actions, where we're chasing after
00:00:35
things that aren't going to give us what
00:00:37
we actually need. Which is also why we
00:00:38
live in a world that is lacking in
00:00:40
purpose and meaning.
00:00:41
>> But the part that I've always struggled
00:00:42
with is that the answer being religion
00:00:44
as an antidote to that feeling because I
00:00:46
require a really high standard of
00:00:47
evidence because of the way that I am.
00:00:49
>> Well, I think not only can it provide an
00:00:51
antidote, it can provide the antidote.
00:00:53
And I'll explain why. like how can we
00:00:55
trust human accounts of these things and
00:00:56
then how do you take people who agree
00:00:58
that there's clearly something missing
00:00:59
to believing that what's written in the
00:01:01
Bible is the thing that should guide my
00:01:02
life but also do you have any doubt oh
00:01:05
of course especially when there are
00:01:06
times of struggle and pain and suffering
00:01:08
[music] like the whole Epstein thing
00:01:10
right now we are seeing examples of true
00:01:11
evil so there are moments where I think
00:01:14
how could there be a good god however
00:01:16
from my investigation I am convinced
00:01:18
beyond a reasonable doubt that there's
00:01:19
actual evidence for the existence of God
00:01:22
the historical reliability of the Bible
00:01:24
and the philosophical explanations for
00:01:26
meaning and purpose.
00:01:27
>> And what is that?
