Q: It's such a pleasure to interview you on my blog, Justin. Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?
A: Well, I am a Christian video content creator, a blogger and Vlogger, and a self-taught Christian apologist. I used to say to people that I was a YouTuber, but YouTube has joined forces with the mainstream media corporations in censoring people with wrongthink, so I now identify myself as a BitChuter. I run an online video ministry called Truth: The Objective Reality, which I originally started as a blog on Blogspot back in 2013. Over the years since, TTOR has gone from being a blog to being a YouTube channel, to be all over the Alt Tech internet platforms. At TTOR, I am dedicated to proving that the Biblical worldview is 100 percent accurate and correct as written in the Bible, and I am also dedicated to debunking all other worldviews that stand in opposition to the knowledge of Christ.
Q: What is your concept of God? Do you view him positively or negatively?
A: My concept of God is not my own; it's the concept that is laid out by a straightforward and contextual reading of the Bible. God is a triune being who is eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, present everywhere, and whose love, mercy, and justice is perfect. God created the universe, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in those things over the course of six ordinary days a little over 6,000 years ago. The second person of this triune God, The Son, came to this planet as a human being called Jesus of Nazareth about 2,000 years ago, and a plethora of historical documentation about Jesus; life on this planet back in the first century is available to us today, with the biggest sources of information on Jesus's life being the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that are in the New Testament.
Q: How do you think someone becomes a Christian?
A: In John 10:14-15, Jesus made it clear that his followers know him and he knows his followers in the same way that Jesus knows God the Father and that God the Father knows Jesus. Since the context of the New Testament makes it clear that Jesus the Son and God the Father have close, intimate, and personal relationship with each other, what Jesus is saying in John 10:14-15 is that he has a close, intimate, and personal relationship with each of his followers. Jesus also makes it clear in Matthew 7:21-23 that not everyone who claims to be a follower of him has a personal relationship with him, and those who don't have a personal relationship with him will not get to spend eternity with him. In short, the way to become a true Christian is that you have to humble yourself, bow your knee in submission to Jesus, and enter into a personal relationship with him.
Q: In today's world, people invest time and energy into developing their careers and often neglect the spiritual dimension of their lives. How do you actively pursue spiritual growth?
In order to be able to defend the truthfulness of the Biblical worldview from all-oncomers, I not only have to investigate the materials that attack the Biblical worldview, but I also have to read the Bible all the time in order to understand what it's saying. When you study the Bible and you learn what it really teaches, you learn more about the Creator and how he thinks and operates, which in turn deepens the relationship you have with him. I am not a role model by any means, but I am someone who wants to know my Creator, and I want to know him on his terms.
Q: Why is there so much evil and suffering in this world?
A: There is so much evil and suffering in the world because 6,000 years ago, the first two humans, with the influence of Satan, rebelled against God and his word, and this introduced suffering, death, disease, and sin into this world. There are a lot of people out there who wonder why God allows evil and suffering to go on, and why he doesn't just put an end to all the evil and suffering in the world. While I cannot speak to anyone's individual circumstances, God makes it clear in 2 Peter 3:3-10 that the reason he hasn't ended evil and suffering in general yet is because he doesn't want anyone to perish, and he is giving everyone a chance to repent before the time for God to judge and destroy the ungodly comes.
Q: If you were to die tonight are you sure you'd go to heaven? Has anyone ever explained how you can know for sure?
A: Passages like Matthew 7:21-23 should keep Christians humble and cause them to examine their relationship with Jesus from time to time, but I acknowledge that Jesus is my Creator and my savior and I pursue a relationship with Jesus every day even though I don't always succeed in living up to the standard that Jesus has laid out for his followers. I also believe passages like 1 John 2:1-2, which says that if Christians do sin, Jesus will be our advocate with the Father. Passages like that make me feel comfortable in saying that I am saved.
