With Mark Durie
Today on PEP Talk we look at some of the cultural and spiritual dimensions of Islam that can often be hidden from our Western perspectives. If you want to share your faith with Muslim friends or colleagues, these insights can be so helpful! Our guest today shares his experience across church planting ministry, working with immigrants and linguistic studies, especially drawing on his book, Liberty to the Captives (markdurie.com/product/liberty-to-the-captives/) .
Rev Dr Mark Durie was born in Papua to missionary parents and grew up in Canberra. His PhD in linguistics studied the language of the Acehnese people in Indonesia. Mark spent ten years on the Linguistics faculty at the University of Melbourne, but was ordained in 1999, serving in three Melbourne Anglican parishes over the next two decades. Now at Melbourne School of Theology, Mark teaches in Islamic studies and pastoral theology. The author of many articles and books, which have been translated into numerous languages, Mark’s research interests include missions to Muslims, discipleship, Islamic origins, human rights, religious freedom, and deliverance ministry.

What would Jesus say to Keir Starmer?
Переглядів 3616 годин тому
Whether it is India or Germany, the USA or the UK, 2024 seems a big year for elections. For many of us, we look for integrity in choosing new leadership. But why shouldn't the new Prime Minister seek to profit from his new-found power? In this topical Short Answers video, Andy Bannister suggests that it's really only the example of Jesus that can give Keir Starmer (or ourselves) a model for goo...

Isn't That Just Your Interpretation?
Переглядів 8321 день тому
"That’s just *your* interpretation…we can’t really know what the Bible means” - Is that really true? Or, is it possible to get to an objective understanding of what the words of the Bible really mean - how they were understood and what they meant in their original context? In this Short Answers video, Steve Osmond unpacks this idea to explain how we can have confidence when it comes to reading ...

Why should I believe in the resurrection of Jesus?
Переглядів 96Місяць тому

He also shares three reasons why the documents that describe the resurrection of Je...
Isn't it circular reasoning to prove Christianity from the Bible?
Переглядів 195Місяць тому
“You can’t use the Bible to prove the Bible! That’s circular reasoning!” Is this true? Sometimes people think that the Bible can’t be used a source of the truth about Christianity because it was written by Christians - but is this really the full picture? In this Short Answers video Steve Osmond explains why this is incorrect and gives a few reasons why the documents of the New Testament are tr...
Isn't The Bible Irrelevant?
Переглядів 502 місяці тому
Isn't the Bible irrelevant? Outdated? Many people think so, but when we consider some of the most pressing questions of our age, a different picture emerges. What does it mean to be human? How can I live a good life? Can I choose my own identity? On all these questions (and much more!) the ancient text of the Bible contains clear, compelling answers that are not only relevant, but even relatabl...
Is Faith Just An Emotion?

Is faith just an emotion - just something we feel? Is it something that some people have and some people don’t, just like some of us have a taste for a certain flavour of ice cream and others don’t? Or is it more than that? In this Short Answers video, Steve Osmond from Solas looks at the idea of faith and evidence, and how the two work together in Christianity.

Can Christianity Be Good But Not True?

It seems to be a curious trend that some public figures are going out of their way to laud the social benefits of Christianity - things like human rights or free speech - but don't accept it as actually true. Is it possible to hold these values dear, but regard their source as a fairy tale? In this Short Answers video, Andy Bannister challenges us to consider whether we can really "reap the fru...

What If God Isn't Real?

What if God isn't real? Many people say they don't think God exists, but haven't really considered the implications if it's true. Where can we find things like morality, human dignity or hope for the future if God isn't real? Perhaps they aren't real either. But Steve Osmond asks us to reverse the question, and discover all these wonderful things flooding back into the human experience. For mor...

Have You Ever Wondered Why We Find Forgiveness So Hard?
There is no distinction made for cousins or half brother yet in Hebrew and Aramaic. Mary was evervirgin aswell as that Joseph already had kids and since he was likely elderly thr odds of him being able to produce a child was low.
According to which gospel? They all contradict each other. This man hopes that you don't actually read the bible and just rely on the falsehoods coming from his mouth. Christians who deliberately misquote and try and trick you are honestly the worst of mankind. Such deception and trickery, something Jesus would not support.
Hi Andy...thank you for your continued proclamation of the Truth. Praying for you brother and the Solas ministry!
Jesus is NOT GOD. Bible says Jesus prayed to God.""26. [39] And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt..""
Repent and believe.
Ephesians 2:8 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
First, you have to understand why should you be sorry. Sorry, Thank you, Please sounds like too easy and simple to someone who is intellectually inclined.
As this is an intro video then that person should be pointed to something more substantial like Alpha or Christianity Explored.
This video, with a cartoon mocking and insulting his debate partner, was prepared by Robertson's SolasCPC organization - it exposes the nasty, unChristian nature of both Roberson an his organization: ua-cam.com/video/KCQvVhZnF80/v-deo.html
What kind of a religion that is that they think their god died for them While they are drinking and fornicating all the time Stop lying to people, not even idle worshippers think their god died for them What’s wrong with you!!
Another set of lies again and again Andy thinks people don’t check the lies he says We check and it is always a twist and a lie Stop lying to Christian’s , just stop it!!
Some helpful points.
God bless🙏🏻
I just watched your video ‘is religion the cause of wars’ and can’t understand why comments are turned off??
There is too much trolling on UA-cam which we don't have time to moderate. We prefer discussions on Facebook.
@@SolasCPC It wouldn't be subject to those comments if the points offered were fair. Also, the conversation about it on the comments could have helped understand the topic more. Although you might not have uploaded it in the first place if you have to make it perfect.
Thank you!
Hey, I like the idea of the Zoom. What is needed to arrange this for South Africa?
Wow. It was truly refreshing to hear a PASTOR speak so openly and HONESTLY about his struggles--especially something as "taboo" and "big" (in the Christian community) as same-sex attraction! I think we often fall into the trap of forgetting that pastors are humans too that face and deal with everything just as everyone else. I think we subconsciously believe that pastors, of all people in the church, are perfect and exempt from temptation because they're the "most holy" ones out of us all. But like pastor Ed continually said, we're ALL in need of His grace and are nothing apart from Christ. THANK YOU for sharing and being so vulnerable to share your story openly with the world Pastor Ed!
Greetings from Pakistan, I’m new subscriber on this channel, love watching your videos. God bless ✊❤️🙏
This was a breath of fresh air! As Ed so gently put, we are a church full of broken people and Jesus came to save us all. I hope more will hear this good news. God bless!
It's sad have to say this to people of your age... Grow Up!!!
All the best to David.
You're a piece of shit, Bannister, you refuse to prove the existence of your piece of shit god or the validity of your bible, which is FICTION!! You will NEVER convince ANYONE in the modern world of you're sickening phony savior if you will not respond to the questions of atheists which YOU CANNOT ANSWER!!
29:20 Just because the marriage partner doesn't always mean that the "Marriage will collapse" NO it does not have to COLLAPSE and in fact people have been living without close intimate friends who were NOT their spouses for CENTURIES!! (i.e Millenia)!! I really Do NOT like how this Pastor always speaks in absolutes because of his experiences when my experience is different! I have a friend who have been married 15+ years and they spend the majority of their time together and Marriage hasn't "Collapsed"!!
I think you missed the bigger picture of his preaching!
Did you actually watch the video? Doesn't seem like you have at all...
Thank you ed...so encouraging :)
Wow this was really helpful Andy, thank God! I hope I can find more great material like this on evangelism in this day and age
