Called to Demonstrate Truth (Hank Unplugged Short)

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘜𝘯𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘥 podcast, exhorts followers of Christ to be able to demonstrate that Christianity is not an illusion. Karl Marx said, “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” We should pay attention to that word “oppressed” because for Marx everything was a battle between the oppressed and the oppressor. In the evolution of civilization, religion must be destroyed. Why? According to Marx, “The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.” What’s the antidote to that? To demonstrate that true religion is not an illusion but is faith grounded in irrefutable fact. Marx was a devotee of Charles Darwin, and Darwin has won the day in our culture. Thus, Christians must demonstrate truth. There is an experience that we can have that transcends all philosophical speculation. The truth of Christianity is not about only this life, but it is about life as a continuum that goes on for all eternity. And as Vladimir Lossky so eloquently wrote, “After the Fall, human history is a long shipwreck awaiting rescue: but the port of salvation is not the goal; it is the possibility for the shipwrecked to resume his journey whose sole goal is union with God.” 🔴 Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/CRInstit... -------------------------------------------------- Connect with Hank Hanegraaff and the Christian Research Institute (CRI): 🔴 Subscribe to the Bible Answer Man on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ✔️ Subscribe to “Hank Unplugged” on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ✅ For a complete list of all platforms with our broadcast and podcast content: https://www.equip.org/connect/ 📒 For past Bible Answer Man episodes, hundreds of free articles (podcasts and video), and curated resources visit CRI’s website: http://www.equip.org/ ✔️ Subscribe to our print magazine the Cʜʀɪsᴛɪᴀɴ Rᴇsᴇᴀʀᴄʜ Jᴏᴜʀɴᴀʟ https://www.equip.org/product/crj-sub... 👥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BibleAnswerM... 🐦Bible Answer Man on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CRIBAM 📸 Bible Answer Man on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bibleanswer... ✅ Listen to the Bible Answer Man broadcast live streaming Monday through Friday from 6-6:30 PM ET online at http://www.equip.org/ #hankhanegraaff #bibleanswerman #christianity
