Penn from Penn and Teller asks a profound question of those who have faith in God. “How much do you have to hate someone to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?” Penn is a self-proclaimed atheist, and yet he gets this serious truth far more than many followers of Jesus do. We can see the task Jesus gave us to do (“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…”) should be an obvious top priority. Please also recognize how profoundly touched Penn was by a Christian who”loved his neighbor” by engaging him as the Scriptures teach us. The video is 5 minutes long – it is worth your time – watch it! You can also say a prayer for Penn that he will read the Bible he was given and come to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

I saw this on a friend of mine’s facebook – Bill Coleman – who had grabbed it from a friend – etc… Hopefully you will enjoy it and perhaps pass it on to encourage someone you know.

“You can also say a prayer for Penn that he will read the Bible he was given and come to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
He’s read it.
And done an entire episode of his show “BS” debunking it.

Thanks for commenting. You may find it interesting to know that the “BS” video was made about 2 years ago. The video I posted is from about 4 months ago. It is obvious that in this later video Penn is more reasonable and not looking for the “shock value” that he does in the first. It is also obvious by some of his comments in this clip that he is not that familiar with the book. The “BS” video is obviously scripted, rehearsed, and edited. You don’t actually think that he read the whole thing and wrote down the Scripture verses of things he found odd do you?

Two things stick out:
1. Be prepared – the man had a pocket Gideon.
2. Genuine love – the man who spoke to Penn trusted in the Scripture of perfect love casting out fear.
Real encouraging. Thanks Chet!
