The Truth about Faith: Bible-Evidenced Faith vs. the Blind Faith of Atheism
Manage episode 387563388 series 3528790
In this episode of Men on the Move, RJ dives into an exploration of faith and the truth of its multifaceted nature. Using an interview clip where Kirk Cameron interviews Professor John Lennox, RJ unravels the oft-misunderstood concept of faith as mere blind belief without evidence. Lennox argues that faith transcends mere belief in propositions, akin to trusting a spouse or a bank, where evidence fosters trust but doesn't supplant it. This discussion underscores the truth that faith, far from being irrational, is a harmonious blend of belief and evidence, enriching one's understanding of the world and spirituality.
With this foundation established, RJ challenges the stance of new atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens who assert that atheism is rooted solely in rationality, devoid of faith. RJ provocatively argues that faith and belief are synonymous, refuting Dawkins' claim of atheistic faithlessness. RJ advocates for a faith based on evidence and reason, contrasting it with blind faith, which leads to the inevitable conclusion that one must question widely accepted scientific theories like evolution and man-made climate change if one is to remain rational.
These deeper understandings of what it means to live biblically must become more accessible, and that is the purpose of the book "Belief," designed as a simple, accessible guide. Get your copy here: https://a.co/d/2MoVJMt.
