PRAISE THE LORD, I CAME OUT OF SATANIC WORSHIP & A RELIGION WHICH GOES HAND IN GLOVE THERE-WITH AND HAD A DEEP UNREASONABLE ANTIPATHY AGAINST CHRISTIANITY AND I SINNED HORRIBLY AGAINST GOD , HIS SON AND HIS CHURCH AND AGAINST ISRAEL. BUT GOD'S LOVE IS UNBELIEVABLE... HE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO TURN BACK TO HIM AND BECOME HIS CHILD. PRAISE GOD ! GLORY TO HIS HOLY NAME !
The LORD IS Satan! What kind of a moron are you! You obviously have nothing to do with a Heavenly Father as you would rather give up your sole to Satan so it can be your LORD and you it's slave!
@@Psychiatrick You're obviously not a practicing Christian or you would be praising the LORD for the proverbial prodigal son who returned to his father's home. Anyway, May it go well with you
@@hagaibinsealtiel3745 You are to call no one Father but God Himself. No, I am NOT a Christian! I don't have a LORD making me a slave! YOU have a LORD thus you are a slave worshiping your master! Tell me something CHRISTIAN: From the bible, tell me when the weekly Sabbath is! Cite the day!
@@Psychiatrick That was a fast reply ! Answering your question, according to The BIBLE, the Sabbath falls on Saturday
@@hagaibinsealtiel3745 Sorry Slave .... there is NO reference to the pagan daze of the week in the bible. They are numbered! Heavenly Father's Sabbaths fall on the: 8th, 15th., 22nd and 29th day of each month. Passover falls on the 15th day of the first month of the new year. The Walls of Jericho story bears this out. Like, how did Israel work 7 days at Jericho and still observe the 4th Commandment? Like I said, Satan is your LORD scooping up soles from it's slaves! Either you have a Heavenly Father or your master is Satan. You want to try one more time?
From atheist to Christian based on the evidence, very inspiring and wonderful talk. Yes we can and should use our minds. thank you and much love from Germany.
The bible is the evidence
Harry Potter books prove Harry Potter, right? Because if they don't, then the Bible isn't evidence of a resurrection or a god.
Thank you and may God Bless you and yours as well.
Do Harry Potter books prove Harry Potter? If your answer is "no", then clearly we don't have a case for a resurrection. (There's _zero_ evidence outside the Bible of that claim.)
Hello, can you give me example of evidence that turned you ?
One of my favorite parts about this is just how God is soo good and answered your wife's prayers... What a testimony for those who are married to unbelievers
I know! It inspired me to prayer for my husband and God saved him too ahhh he is soo AMAZING our GREAT GOD
This has got to be one of my favorite presentations on the proof of the resurrection.
Brother Strobel, God has blessed us with your and J. Warner Wallaces testimony and investigative proof of the truth of Christ’s life, death and resurrection.
This was so good especially for those of us who have a lot of questions and suffer from doubt. This is excellently done! Thank you for sharing! ❤️✝️🙏🏽❤️✝️🙏🏽
What awesome testimony I’ve been praying the same things for years. May God hear all of prayers who cry to him.
To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
We need millions and millions of Lee Stroble to bring the real Truth about Jesus Christ, the Saviour and the True Son of God.
Praise the Lord
Think how we are lucky to have Jesus Christ ❤
How Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! #love
Wow! I’ve been reading LS all of these years, and watching this video for the first time today…40 years to the date of his conversion :)
yessir 💯💯💯‼️
This was great. The only thing I would have added was how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecy especially in Isiah 53.
Praise The Lord!! Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you for loving me first so that I can love you!! God is Gracious and Kind!! ✝️📖🕊️🙌
When I first saw this video on TH-cam I thought it would probably be boring, but when I heard him talk about “The Case for Christ” it made me want to watch because I had seen the movie and I loved it. Anyway, I’m so glad that I did because his explanation of the resurrection was superb, and so was his testimony. I love his testimony. It’s incredible the way Jesus works in our lives. The entire video was exactly what I needed. There have been plenty of times in my wife when I didn’t know what was good for me. Thank God, I don’t have to worry about that anymore since Jesus Christ took control of my life. My life was also a mess, even worst than yours. Maybe God would allow me to one day freely share the amazing story of what he has done for me. It hasn’t been easy. I’m still a work in progress and a baby in Christ. I do know a lot about the word of God but I do have to learn to trust more in Jesus and less in my own understanding. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your testimony. I really enjoyed everything you said. I would probably watch it several times more. May our Lord and Savior bless each of you who are reading this. May He touch the hearts of those who are non believers or still think that he is not real or that he doesn’t exist. May he set you free.
He’s not going to touch the hearts of non believers because it sounds like he’s lying about his past life of an atheist.
How on earth did he decide god couldn’t exist? And then he said he was a drunken slob.
He never spoke to the expert critics in his alleged investigation.
He’s a fraud from the get go preaching to the converted.
I don’t know if this helps with you opening up about your testimony but don’t just think of it as your testimony but as telling people the power of Jesus Christ. God bless and keep going in your journey 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love this! Praise God!
What an incredible story at the end!
I shed a few tears throughout this video.
Ty Lee for this
Great true story
This is beautiful
Thank you!
I love this, thank you.
His evidence from his own investigation that changed him. He shares what he learned and how it changed others around him for the better.
VeRy beautiful!
He sounds like Howard Stern a bit! Such an inspiring man!

Much more righteous
I can’t unhear it now
Howard Stern sounds much more intelligent
You make me feel good my son in law is a atheise thought like u
I was just thinking, maybe it was no mistake that your phone number was close to the cab company. Maybe the Lord did that so that you could witness to those people that called . I have a lot of respect for lee. He's been a blessing to me
Imagine calling a cab and some guy tries to convert you, keep your beliefs to yourself unless asked please
awesome ^_^
Alright God, You win🤩🤩🤩🤩
Amen
Confirming the conviction of the disciples....
If we confess with your mouth Jesus Lord and believe in your heart God has raised Him from the dead you shall be saved. -Bible Romans chapter 10 verse 9. Thanks for the many proofs for the Resurrection. For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John chapter 3 verse 16
god has a weird way of sneaking up on you.... this video hit me hard... time to do some life thinking
God has a weird way of vanishing when it comes time to produce actual evidence.
Christopher Johnson dude because you don’t look for it doesn’t mean He doesn’t give it to you

God performed miracles in front of many witnesses and they still didn't believe. What kind of evidence would convince you? There's ample evidence but, unfortunately in some people, there's denial of the evidence. That's a problem of the heart because they are unwilling to follow Christ, which means they have to give up their porn, their drunkenness, their sexual immorality and their materialism.
@@rickdavis2235 "God performed miracles in front of many witnesses and they still didn't believe."
Prove it.
"What kind of evidence would convince you?"
The kind you can show other people. Philosophical arguments are not evidence, 'a book says so' is not evidence, and 'ancient records say so' is not sufficient evidence (I can get a thousand people who will all claim to be eyewitnesses to alien abductions - doesn't mean alien abductions are happening).
"here's ample evidence but, unfortunately in some people, there's denial of the evidence."
Or, maybe people can see that your 'evidence' is not evidence, and that you have no clue what the word 'evidence' means.
"hat's a problem of the heart because they are unwilling to follow Christ"
Whether or not I would follow your god is irrelevant to whether or not I would believe he exists. Now, what evidence shows your god exists, that he created the universe, and that he is the greatest of all gods?
My heart's desires don't determine what I believe. My brain does that. If you continue to attempt to emotionally manipulate me with talk about "porn, their drunkenness, their sexual immorality and their materialism," and to insult me an others by suggesting we don't believe you because we want to be immoral, the conversation is over, because you are not mature to enough to have it with me.
@@doctorwebman
Prove that He didn't perform miracles. Maybe by my asking you that same question you can see how silly it is. When has anything ever been proven that's happened in the past? When you go down this road, you open up a can of worms because you can't prove that man evolved from apes or that the universe created itserlf or that life evolved from NOT ANYTHING.
There are many things that we accept as true that cannot be scientifically verified. Science works through inductive methods-we do an experiment 100 times and if we get the same result every time, we conclude that it’s scientifically proven and that we will continue to get results. However, for many subjects, we cannot use this same method to reach a conclusion.
If we stumble across a crime scene, and find a person dead, we can’t say, “Well, I don’t know. Let’s run the experiment again and see what happened.” Such a method would be absurd in figuring out who the murderer is. Instead, we have to deduce conclusions from the evidence left at the scene. We have to evaluate what has been left behind and reach a logical inference. In other words, we have to apply the methodology that is appropriate to the claim.
When we look at subjects like history, forensics or philosophy, we can’t run experiments or take scientific measurements to determine a conclusion. Instead, we have to evaluate evidence and deduce an inference, which is why the question, “Does God Exist” is not a scientific one. We can’t run any experiment to determine if God exists anymore than we can run an experiment to determine who committed a murder or where did the first humans originate or if two people are in love.
To find answers that are outside the natural world, we can only study the evidence left inside the natural world and reach the most rational inference as to why certain things are the way they are. This is what the aim of natural theology is. It’s not attempting to prove a designer exists like one proves a scientific fact through measurement or observation, rather these philosophical arguments take the evidence we can evaluate and reach the most rational inference to explain things where science can’t go because a logical mind seeks the most rational inference to the evidence. An entire worldview containing only science without philosophy will only give you half the picture.
Science is great for explaining things within nature and within space-time and we should keep studying science to form a better view about the natural world. Only an irrational person would suggest otherwise.
So powerful
The duty of these Protestants in Christian names with or without Phd's & Doctrates is to put doubt in the minds of people,
What exactly do you mean by that?
It starts at 19:38 for the creed of the early Christians.
Jesus Was Born Incarnate
Jesus was born incarnate to a young Jewish virgin, lived a sin free life, was illegally persecuted and then crucified on a cross on Calvary. He arose three days later defeating death and ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God.
Jesus met with 515 people after His resurrection in a dozen different occasions over a period of about 40 days before He ascended into Heaven.
Jesus knew He was entering the world to be the final and ultimate sacrifice for the sin of mankind. His body had been divinely prepared by God specifically for that purpose. Jesus was going to die for the sins of the world, and He knew it. Moreover, He was doing it willingly and joyfully.
Jesus came to earth to reveal God to mankind and teach truth. He came to fulfill the Law and offer His kingdom to mankind. He came to show us how to live. He came to reveal God’s love. He came to bring peace. He came to heal the sick. He came to minister to the needy.
He was raised in a family who didn't believe in His divinity. He had six half-brothers and two or three half-sisters who didn't believe in His divinity until after His resurrection.
What gets me is demons knew His divinity but many men and women of His time didn't.
I presume Mary and Joseph knew His divinity. But in Luke 2:49-50 [NKJV] “He said to them, [His earthly parents] “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
This makes me wonder, did they not understand Jesus' divinity?
"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry.
Jesus preformed 14-15 miracles (they were called signs) in the three years or so of His ministry on earth. Many miracles were preformed by Jesus Christ but not specifically identified and recorded in God's word.
Jesus' miracles were followed by Jesus forgiving the individuals of their sins and commanding they sin no more. Many of Jesus' miracles were not identified. No other religious leader forgave mankind of their sins.
Our sins separate us from God, and there’s nothing we can do to make things right. So, we need someone to save us from our sins and make us acceptable to God. That someone is Jesus Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given no other Name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 GNV)
That’s why God sent Jesus to earth. Jesus’ death on the cross paid for every wrong we’ve ever committed or will commit in the future. Jesus made it possible for us to have a relationship with God the Father. We are sinner from birth and need help, Jesus Christ is that help, our only hope.
Therefore by the deeds of the law (Ten Commandments) no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law our sins are recognized not saved.
We must confess (repent) of our sins and iniquities before Jesus Christ, at the foot of the cross daily.
Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, to His disciples that: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
I will not stand before The Great White Throne of God, my sins have been cleansed by Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the cross. And I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ of all my sins and iniquities before-today, today and forever.
I Love Jesus Christ and despite of the fact that I'm human and I fail Him daily, I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He was crucified on the cross where He died for my sins and inequities and that He rose again on the 3rd day to give me a way through salvation and sanctification, known and unknown. He loves me dearly and has forgiven me of my sins and inequities. His Word says that if I deny Him before men, He will deny me before His Father.
Following, I believe are the greatest verses in God's Word. "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 NKJV)
I am a Christ-follower and live in the Kingdom of God on earth in Jesus Christ, my Lord, Savior and Leader. I have faith and trust in the grace and mercy of God for eternal life for my soul in Heaven when I pass from this life into paradise.
I proclaim this openly to the world, that I am sinner, that I am sorry for my sins and iniquities and repent of my sins and iniquities and receive Jesus Christ by faith into my heart, mind and soul as my Lord, Savior and Leader. I openly confess Him as Lord from this moment on, I want to follow Him, I pledge to obey Him daily, and read His word. I will include those in my prayers who are lost and have chosen to deny God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NKJV)
I am in the “Lamb's Book of Life” and will not face “The Great White Throne of God” which leads to Hell.
Jesus said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29 KJV)
The grace and glory be to God. God bless
Also one last thing because I truly am exhausted spoon feeding this stuff to someone who isn’t approaching any of this with a humble heart and mind- this video teaches that there is evidence, he references the evidence and it is your job to research the evidence he claims is evidence as he is speaking- like the creed, like the testimonies of the apostles, like the church fathers, the Saints. Saying that it’s simply not evidence because you haven’t researched it yourself; and all the resources that corroborate the testimonies of the disciples to prove it otherwise doesn’t work if you actually want to be educated on the matter.
This video is meant to share the evidence from Lee Strobel’s experience as he went from Atheist to Christian. He cites his sources, go find them.
Ma'am, I agree that the evidence can't be dismissed as "no actual evidence." But, when we look at what question the evidence is purportedly explaining, we find no question of inherent interest--no actual question is being explained at all.
You see, Science doesn't have the resources to formulate hypothesis' for every imaginable question. It must discriminate. There is also the issue of bias in proposed questions, of people wishing to serve an agenda; say, of an religious-sectarian sort; or political, or economic sort. Science must have a valid method for minimizing bias, as well as optimizing its use of limited resources.
The criteria Science uses for this is by looking for questions possessed of intrinsic value. These are questions generated by facts (or, perhaps, just one fact) which are "inherently interesting," meaning that current models are unable to explain them; i.e., anomalies.
...You see.
But, no mere claim about an anomaly is valid. The claim must not only be validated with the actual fact(s), but must have a consensus of interest in the anomaly.
The facts which Team Resurrection puts forth (the death of a person, an alleged empty tomb, religious belief in a risen god, etc.) generate no anomaly of interest to Science which current models cannot explain.
So, again, "the resurrection hypothesis" doesn't explain any sort of valid question at all--one of inherent interest to any science. Therefore, neither is a valid question present of interest for human action. The "resurrection hypothesis" can thus be dismissed out-of-hand.
If you think "the resurrection hypothesis" is at least an honest argument, ma'am, you should consider this:
"New Resurrection Proof"
Prolegemenon
TIQ (The Investigative Question): The anomaly of Paul selling "Christ's free gift."
Methodology: Methodological phenomenology.
Social Model: Conflict Particularism.
Following only Paul's money, we find "messianic coins," which are "minted" only by "Zionlions" (Jewish saviors). Zionlions are "Mechanics" (human means), fulfilling "the law," that, "The older must serve the younger" (Gen., 25.23).
This is Arrow-1. We shall annex this oracle's terms, that Jews are "Jacob," and non-Jews "Esau:" Here are three matching phenomenological facts we'll discover, following only Paul's money:
1). In the OT, History's first-recorded genocide occurs. It was the work of Zionlion Joshua, "minting" the two-sided "messianic coin" of dispatching Esau, Jacob with Esau's resources.
2). The NT's "spiritual warfare" Mechanic minted messianic coins during the early years of developing a centuries-long suicide cult for Romans.
3). Jacob used evangelism to dupe Romans to buy an army for their own destruction (Josephus, "Wars," 6.6.2). This Mechanic minted messianic coins, thus it too was a Zionlion.
Hypothesis:
Joshua is the paradigm messiah: he kills the enemy, and gives Jacob the money. Find Arrow-1 "coin-minting," and you'll find a Joshua. Jews I've known notice that Paul's money went only from Romans to Jerusalem, and Romans bought a suicide cult. This suicide cult is the only anomaly concerning NT claims which might be of interest to Science. It can be explained with the following argument, that Jesus was Joshua, a "risen messiah:"
* * *
Part 1: Predictive Power of Conflict Particularism Validating the Hypothesis.
§1: "Golden-Coin Lightening."
Human Action is the pyramid of all knowledge and endeavor, the mischief of Socrates' oracular arrow at it's apex, "What is the good life, and how does one attain it?"
Ontologically, ethics/ideals are Spirit-- "oracular arrows" for Human Action (Dasein). Dasein translates these Arrows into existential form, generating the ethical environment of Dasein's life. Dasein, then, is the universal mechanic of translation.
Ethics/ideals, but especially language, find Dasein particularized with a nationality, such as the Jews of Jesus' day. Here, "the law" was Montesquieu's "Spirit" and the Jews its Mechanics.
In hostile environments of opposing Mechanics, the dominant ethic becomes "Ends justify means," Arrow-P, and morphs Dasein into a warrior, a PM (Polarity Mechanic). An environment of opposing PM's is Conflict Particularism (CP).
PM's polarize CP environments, by enlisting the means of other normative inversions (NI's) to achieve their ends; e.g., duplicity, rape, murder. Social norms become marginalized, sometimes to "total social break-down," when the vanquished NI's become the victors in total war. This environment is CPS (Conflict-Particularism Syndrome).
A single instance of an NI (normative inversion) between Mechanics announces the presence of a foreigner, a mentally handicapped person, or PM. NI's are always warnings that something isn't right, like seeing a saddle on a cow.
PM NI-dense environments are the oracle "Arrow-Mars," the oracle of blood-shed. Such environments are CPA (Conflict Particularism Arrow-Mars), "a world turned upside down."
In threatened Israel, Dasein becomes a PM (a Zionlion) with Arrow-1, minting the two-sided "coin" of dispatching Esau, Jacob with his resources. The "spirit of a christ" is Arrow-P, producing wealth/power for Israel in messianic coins. One of Dasein's many other names is "Rome." That's why they look like twins here.
Thus, the ethic of Conflict Particularism, Arrow-P ("Ends justify means"), is Mars' holy spirit of "Golden-Coin Lightening."
Many Jews say Israel is The Zionlion. Sure: "The Lion of Israel" was to become World-King, minting mountains of messianic coins on the ferocious road of conquest.
§2. "A Saddled Cow."
Before the Jewish War of 66 CE, Jacob had been Rome's most loyal ally. Then, Jesus' and Paul's Israel was raped with injustices by Rome; like "911," repeatedly. Thousands of Zionlions emerged; and these risen messiahs, whom Josephus variously calls "robbers" and "sicarri," spear-headed the war against Rome.
There's suddenly a handful of books right after Pearl Harbor, all seemingly historical in nature, and no others. Yet, there's no mention of Pearl Harbor. This is the NT, a normative inversion, proclaiming that NI's are truth; most of all, that truth is a threat and bribe, "Judgement Day." The NT's Arrow-Mars phalanx of "spiritual warfare" NI's was spear-headed with the trident of "Christ abolished the law," a Zionlion "Lamb," and death means life. A member of the Jewish High Council, and on such matters as warfare, led the charge, demanding Roman money (Rom., 15.27) for "the free gift of Christ" (5.25).
Again, just one NI announces that something isn't right, like seeing a saddle on a cow.
NI''s are types of lies, lest justified with intrinsic value, not found in the NT. Two thousand years of Schweitzer's noted biblical scholarism "honesty" finds only Crossan-type scholars noticing this embarrassment. Their "passive-resistance justice" model, to justify the NI's against Roman dupes, "forgot" the model in Fact #3 against Roman dupes. Team Resurrection specializes in "forgetting" Fact #3.
The intellectual sophistication of the first Gospel, fawning rustic simplicity, is remarkable. Its paper-trail, before and after, vanished--the hallmark miracle of NT authors. So, "Mark" accidentally wears a mask, and then accidentally another, saying one thing, meaning something else--ruse parables. The NT authors are accidentally masked PM's, accidentally killing Romans with the weapons one kills with--a phalanx of NIs and ruses. For, "the Lamb" became lions in a centuries-long "spiritual warfare" suicide cult for Romans--"a world turned upside down;" the world of Arrow-Mars.
The NT wants us to know "the truth," that 'messiah' means "David Tomorrow." But, in fact, Jesus means Joshua, the only OT figure who helped non-Jews--out of their money and into the grave. We follow Paul's money, sales of Christ's free gift, to try to answer "the mystery of Christ" with its "good news" of being born among thousands of enraged Joshua-type risen messiahs.
Find Arrow-1 "coin-minting," and you'll find a Joshua of rustic simplicity.
§3. "Jacob's Parable."
Arrow-1, "The older must serve the younger" (Gen., 25.23), is an NI. Arrow-1/Israel were born through Jacob, an Arrow-P Lion, disguised lamb-like to steal his brother's inheritance. Saying one thing, meaning something else, "Jacob's Parable" is a ruse parable, called duplicity. Fact #3 announces a Sanhedrin-driven "Jacob's Parable" model in the NT's Zionlion environment--a Joshua Mechanic.
Not even the poorest Romans were helped in the NT, but even Roman-Christian widows were cheated (Acts, 6.1). Predictably, PM Jesus/Joshua (a Lamb/Lion sounds like Jacob) gave Romans the "free gift" of Arrow-1 (Rom., 9.12), sold by the Sanhedrin's PM Paul.
PM Jesus/Joshua's "free gift" included a second NI without intrinsic value, "Christ abolished the law," which was PM Paul's "miraculous conversion"--into Lions, devouring only Roman "lambs" (Gal., 6.12). "Soldier-of-Christ" Paul helped Romans only out of their money and into the grave--a Joshua Mechanic.
Jacob-the-lamb "deceived" the Jews with "parables." Jacob-the-lion converted Romans into messianic coins for the Jewish cause.
§4. "God of Thunder."
"David Tomorrow," and his thunder-cloud treasures of brontologisms (Rev., 10.4; cf, Ps., 20.3f), full of sound and fury of Macbeth's bleak world, was only a "Jacob's Parable" ruse. The blind thought Jesus was "David Tomorrow" (Mat., 9.27). Joshua doesn't come tomorrow, nor from heaven, but helps the enemy out of their money and into the grave today. Joshua killed Romans (with a suicide cult), and the money went only from Romans to Jerusalem. Not even to say thanks after the famine (Acts 11.28) did the money reverse direction.
In short, the true brontologism was in the Golden-Coin Lightening of Mechanic Joshua, risen from the dead of serial "911" injustices by Rome, and Pauline Christianity was but one among thousands of risen Joshuas; for, 'risen messiah' can also mean "messianic uprising."
At first, Joshua wasn't recognized by Jesus' followers after he rose, and most Jews still don't see a Lion-Jacob beneath Arrow-1 wool. But, this is changing.
* * *
Part 2: Result of TIQ.
The Conflict Particularism model predicts and finds a Joshua Mechanic, to explain the anomaly of Christianity's centuries-long suicide cult, working from the hypothesis that where there's Arrow-1 "coin-minting," you'll find a Joshua. Anyone using the same TIQ (Investigative Question) and methodology should get the same result, that the trail of Paul's money reveals that Jesus/Joshua was a "risen messiah."
"Risen messiah" can mean 'David Tomorrow.' But, not today. For, no biblical claim of deity is validated with a fact, nor are there facts to infer a need for "salvation," nor facts validating "salvation." Any explanation about the advent of Christianity must be reconciled to this wall with Fact #3, "The Wall." I've not found a biblical scholar honest enough to mention "The Wall," after some forty years on this subject, on-and-off, as an existentialist philosopher.
"Follow the money," the old proverb yawns, "and all the questions will answer themselves."

1 Corinthians 15:3-4
When i was an atheist and encountered Christ I started doing research. This was on eif the fiest videos i saw that opened my eyes.
He didn't "return from the dead."
GOD raised him.
Yeah, he kept saying that. Lazarus was returned from the dead. As were some other folks. Jesus was resurrected by God. Of course, Jesus IS God so, there’s that. Resurrected means that he was given his perfected body and transcended death.
@@LoriDRBlake Yeah, but there's two problems with what you said.
1) Jesus is not, was not, and never will be God Almighty. He is the SON OF God.. So there's that.
2) Resurrection literally means "restoring a dead person to life." Since God is immortal, he cannot die. Jesus DID die, and was dead for 3 days and 3 nights. Hence, Jesus cannot be God.
@@comfortat and the problem with what you said is that Jesus was God and with God before creation. He is a person of the triune aspect of Yahweh, Jesus and the Father are one. Are you arguing as a Muslim?
You have the wrong definition of resurrection. When Jesus raised People’s from the dead they weren’t resurrected, they were healed and died again later. Jesus was a man and is God at the same time and his man aspect died, not his God aspect. However, these are facts not points of contention
@@LoriDRBlake Are you arguing as a polytheist? No, I am not a muslim.
I am a Christian, and I don't believe the triune doctrine.
The word trinity is NOT in the Bible.
The phrase "God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is not in the Bible.
None of what you said is in the Bible. Lazurus was raised from the dead, but he died again, later. When the rapture happens, we will be resurrected to eternal life, and never die, again.
Jesus was dead for 3 days and 3 nights. That IS in the Bible. God is immortal, and cannot die. THAT is in the Bible. Jesus is a man. That is in the Bible. God is NOT a man. That is in the Bible.
Therefore, Jesus is NOT God Almighty.
It's pretty simple to understand when you actually read the Bible and not man's doctrines about it.
Peace
@@comfortat Jesus was only dead for two nights (Friday and Saturday night). And Jesus clearly claimed to be God. I am not going to call him a liar.
Why aren't we talking about the Shroud of Turin? It is the best evidence that not even scientific analysis can deny.
Citation needed. It is, as far as my research has shown me, a medieval artifact. Made around 1260... If you have evidence that is authentic, I'm interested.
It's fake.
Which evidence brought you to conclusion it's fake
There is a documentary about it that I saw on TH-cam years ago that blew my mind! The shroud is not a fake but the authenticity has been conspired against. Archaeology and historical evidence has been riddled with coverups for decades.

No such records -- only stories, hearsay.
@@jerrylanglois7892 In terms of Christian eyewitness accounts, you have many separate early eyewitness accounts within the NT and early writers. In terms of non-Christian historical sources, then you'd be looking at for instance Tacitus, Josephus, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, the Babylonian Talmud, Lucian, Phlegon, Thallus, I could go on. Doesn't quite seem like 'no historical records of Jesus period'

You have a book. A book.
A lot of people are too scared to accept Jesus Christ into their lives because of their backgrounds, families, orientation and other personal holdbacks.
Why don't you leave it to Jesus to take care of all that, and try inviting him in into your life as a test whether He is real, after that you can make your conclusions.
I dare you to do that.

Even if you could prove a man came back from the dead, it would not prove that he is responsible for the formation of our universe. All you have proven is that a man came back from the dead.
So, you mean the universe is greater than a man who died on the cross with that much suffering and rose up in glory on the third day without a man's help? Show me a man who has ever done that again.
Dear friend, the Bible says" Though earth and heaven(universe) shall pass away, my word will not go without being fulfilled"

@@lindsey4178 lee was bringing up his change in behavior as evidence for jesus résurrection
He did say something about a change of heart and personality at the start of the lecture but only as evidence of God and what he believes God can do.....I don't think that had anything to do with his evidence of Christ's ressurection. Are u an atheist too?
Wow, reading a lot of these comments reminds me that the apostasy is firmly among us. Why did this video find some many folks who are so anti-Christian? 🤔 I was actually happy that Lee turned from being such a loser to finding a life of meaning and respect. I think that if you are hating what he has to say, if you deny the facts that he brings up, you should do your own research instead of denying what is actually accepted factual evidence. Jesus lived, died, was buried, and was resurrected. The Bible isn’t the only source of these facts, although it’s a collection of historical documents, they are also divinely inspired not humanly created, and there are plenty other historical documents that confirm the facts of the Bible. Just cool your jets on the vitriol and do your research.
Ironically lots of Christians do their own research and then become Atheists after they find out that Strobel is a con artist.
@@ramigilneas9274 where's your proof of that?
"The Bible isn't the only source of these facts."
Name of the sources not regurgitating what the Bible tells us or what Christian believed.
Name one source besides Matthew that tells us that when Jesus died, zombies walked the Earth.
Name one contemporary writer to Jesus' life that tells us anything about him.
Besides what Jesus wrote on the ground during the whole prostitute tale, what else did he write? Funny, we know now that this tale was added later.
So I ask
, Did His mother Mary suffer Jesus’ death. No! Because GOD the Father only that Jesus was the only one to bear the wrath of God for our sins.
@ 03:40 - It's not just death. Lee missed the other reason why a people might create a god. What if you felt bad about genociding all your neighbors? You might create a god who chose your people and had promised you the land you were conquering. If you were master storytellers you could create an entire mythology around that concept. How is it Lee never considered this other reason?
And there was my answer @ 12:16. Lee only looked at the New Testament. He had missed all the supremacist rhetoric of the Tanakh. There are hints in the New Testament but it could be easily overlooked unless you had read the Tanakh first. It would be quite easy to miss the mythic archetype of older brother motif if you started with the New Testament. Jesus was born of a virgin after all.
I’m sorry it’s really hard to get through this the picture of the atheist as being a evil drunk nasty person I take offense to that. I am actually a vegetarian because I refuse to kill, but I am also an atheist. I refuse in my diet to have someone kill for me basically is why I don’t eat meat, but I’m very moral. I was in the health profession for 35 years helping other people this picture he paints of himself maybe this guy is needy and needs something more but I’m sorry what a terrible picture of an atheist you’ve painted.
Why is he taking so much time in discussing crucifixion and the agreement of it? This is not what’s in dispute.
Because a lot of people claim Jesus didn't even exist or religions like Islam say he never died. So Lee has to establish that Jesus did exist and died on the cross. Once he gets past that hump of disbelief, he shows you the evidence for the resurrection.
@@Strongtower
Hey thanks.
Could you tell me when that is? @0:00
Because he’s padding it out with drama at the moment.
@@Strongtower
There isn’t many that claim Jesus didn’t exist. It’s whether or not he was a god is the big issue.
@@Strongtower
You be now finished the video.
Where in the video does he give evidence for the resurrection?
Or are you assuming he did without actually hearing it?
Cause , there is a devilish religion , one of its base , is denying that Jesus died in the 1st place ,,, it is called Islam .
"40:20"
Lee Strobel refers to the guy, named Gary Collins to reject the hypothesis of mass hallucinations, while professor Collins is himself a Christian apologist from American Association of Christian Counselors, who has the same confirmation bias as Lee.
Also Argumentation presented has an obvious cognitive mistake called appeal to authority: "This must be true, because some renowned professor in the field said it's true"
That's great, but what about the arguments themselves, how do you deal with those?
1. Hallucinations don't happend to groups
2. Jesus' adversaries/ skeptics had experienced the appearance of the ressurected Jesus
3. The empty tomb
Lee's not merely appealing to authority to say it's true, he's explaining what he did to dig deeper about this issue of hallucinations, while being a skeptic himself at that time. And since Lee had heard the counter argument to Jesus's ressurected appearences, he went to a Christian but also an expert on hallucinations. So sure, there may be bias that Gary is a Christian but his points are yet to be refuted... so again, how do you deal with those?
An extremely probable explanation for the empty tomb is that the Romans took the body. They alone had the ABILITY and powerful MOTIVATIONS to do the deed.
Motivation #1 - THE ROMANS WANTED THE PRO-ROMAN MESSAGES OF JESUS TO CONTINUE. In contrast to all the other rabbis, Jesus taught the wish list of the Romans: Stop hating them, start sacrificially loving them, and pay all their unjust, burdensome taxes. Stealing the body caused the depressed disciples to believe the lie that Jesus rose, which invigorated them to excitedly spread Jesus' pro-Roman messages.
Motivation #2 - THE ROMANS WANTED TO GET REVENGE ON THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS. During the trial of Jesus, the religious leaders humiliated Pilate by inciting a riot, forcing Pilate to crucify Jesus, whom he believed to be an innocent man. You can bet that revenge was big time on Pilate's mind. Stealing Jesus’ body was a great way for the Romans to stick it to the religious leaders, who would now have to deal with a "resurrected" false messiah.
Remember, a reasonable naturalistic explanation negates a supernatural one.
No, they would make an martyr and this they dont want.

Amazing..just sad we have so many prideful fools around unwilling to give up their presupposed theories of what they think is truth. Hearts full of lead and inability and unwillingness to take any leap. I find athiests both cowardly and intelectualy numb yet thinking they know it all on the foundations of sand...if you truely a individual search for truth then you have my respect but athiests are but illogical in their entire aproach even their fundamentals. If you unsure then follow the facts that are relative and accurate, cross examine them to test that what they testify is true. Use your intelect and dont rely on just sceptism. If unsure, seek and you will find. Look at all probabilities not just with a set oppinion from the start. I pray you will find the narrow path of truth and not give up.
That’s a serious case of projection.😂

- Evidence for Resurrection.
- Supplies no evidence.
Strobel never fact checked his own interviewees. And he was a legal journalist so knows better. Unfortunately as I have said in many episodes to my own subs, I was once a Christian who did objective research versus just taking apologists claims as truth. I am actually someone who wants to be proven wrong. But the real facts are there was not one written word of the great miracle during Yeshua's life. The real facts are the prophecies were taken out of context, mistranslated or flat out added if one would actually read the most original manuscript of Isaiah of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The real facts are the outside historical "proofs" like Josephus, Tacitus and Pliny The Younger only mention there was a Yeshua and his following who yes were being persecuted but no, they did not believe there was a resurrection. If one would actually research claims made by WLC, Strobel and the like, one would most likely be on their way to deconversion. As the evidence isn't there at all regardless of how much apologists try to manipulate to attempt to show it is. Cheers, DCF
Really guys? Really? 🤦🏻♂️
Really what?
“I was a skeptical atheist reporter and spoke to these Christian experts and then I was convinced Christianity was true”
Did I mention my wife became a Christian? That had no bearing on my willingness to convert. 🤦🏻♂️
And to prove that Christianity is wrong I exclusively interviewed Christian Apologists and immediately accepted everything they told me without talking to anyone who has a different view.😂

So you already know the real reason why he converted, it was to save his marriage and didn't have anything to do with evidence.

Ha, I was expecting this guy to say we have videos of Jesus and his empty tomb.
It's all a mythical story, there is not the slightest evidence of any man ever coming back from death, not one.
His scholars are all a bunch of theologians, no historian can ever say there is evidence of any one resurrecting, you have to take it by faith and nothing else.
Jesus was the only one resurrected. Lazarus and a few others returned from death to life, some by Jesus, others by apostles. There is no question that Jesus lived, was crucified and resurrected. This is all well documented. You are just denying facts that you seem to be uncomfortable with. If you listened to what he said he interviewed a lot of specialists that weren’t theologians, as well. This isn’t a book, it’s a talk to a church. He’s not trying to convince you, he’s speaking to the choir, people who already know who he is and accept his testimony. Your ire is misplaced here.
@@LoriDRBlake a story is not evidence of any kind, death is final no one returns from that.
Of course for a God it would be child's play, your problem is that no one has ever shown any evidence for the existence of one and science explains the origen of everything, no Gods of any kind are required.
But sober hes engineer he needs prove of everthing
There is better evidence for Harry Potter than for the resurrection. You can't prove god so so definitely can't prove son of god.

Christopher Johnson well he actually states that Christians are brainwashed and I don’t agree at all as a matter of fact many Christians come to faith by evidence and regarding your idea that because we have documents of an event we don’t have proof of it that’s a fallacy because a lot of events are testified by eyewitness and that’s it but you say that’s not evidence so I guess we have no evidence of any crime scene because we have eyewitness accounts so you see my point

Jesus Was Born Incarnate
Jesus was born incarnate to a young Jewish virgin, lived a sin free life, was illegally persecuted and then crucified on a cross on Calvary. He arose three days later defeating death and ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God.
Jesus met with 515 people after His resurrection in a dozen different occasions over a period of about 40 days before He ascended into Heaven.
Jesus knew He was entering the world to be the final and ultimate sacrifice for the sin of mankind. His body had been divinely prepared by God specifically for that purpose. Jesus was going to die for the sins of the world, and He knew it. Moreover, He was doing it willfully and joyfully.
Jesus came to earth to reveal God to mankind and teach truth. He came to fulfill the Law and offer His kingdom to mankind. He came to show us how to live. He came to reveal God’s love. He came to bring peace. He came to heal the sick. He came to minister to the needy.
He was raised in a family who didn't believe in His divinity. He had six half-brothers and two or three half-sisters who didn't believe in His divinity until after His resurrection.
What gets me is demons knew His divinity but many men and women of His time didn't.
I presume Mary and Joseph knew His divinity. But in Luke 2:49-50 [NKJV] “He said to them, [His earthly parents] “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
This makes me wonder, did they not understand Jesus' divinity?
"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry.
The four Gospels record 37 miracles of Jesus, with Mark's Gospel recording the most. Three New Testament words refer to Jesus's miraclesas power, signs, and wonder. Every miracle of Jesus served a specific purpose in God's plan of salvation for humankind.
Jesus' miracles were followed by Jesus forgiving the individuals of their sins and commanding they sin no more. Many of Jesus' miracles were not identified. No other religious leader forgave mankind of their sins.
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
The Purpose of John’s Gospel
“Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, whichwere not recorded in the Bible.
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:29-31 KJV)
Our sins separate us from God, and there’s nothing we can do to make things right. So, we need someone to save us from our sins and make us acceptable to God. That someone is Jesus Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given no other Name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 GNV)
That’s why God sent Jesus to earth. Jesus’ death on the cross paid for every wrong we’ve ever committed or will commit in the future. Jesus made it possible for us to have a relationship with God the Father. We are sinner from birth and need help, Jesus Christ is that help, our only hope.
Therefore by the deeds of the law (Ten Commandments) no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law our sins are recognized not saved.
We must confess (repent) of our sins and iniquities before Jesus Christ, at the foot of the cross daily.
Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, to His disciples that: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
I will not stand before The Great White Throne of God, my sins have been cleansed by Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the cross. And I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ of all my sins and iniquities before-today, today and forever.
I Love Jesus Christ and despite of the fact that I'm human and I fail Him daily, I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He was crucified on the cross where He died for my sins and inequities and that He rose again on the 3rd day to give me a way through salvation and sanctification, known and unknown. He loves me dearly and has forgiven me of my sins and inequities. His Word says that if I deny Him before men, He will deny me before His Father.
Following, I believe are the greatest verses in God's Word. "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 NKJV)
I am a Christ-follower and live in the Kingdom of God on earth in Jesus Christ, my Lord, Savior and Leader. I have faith and trust in the grace and mercy of God for eternal life for my soul in Heaven when I pass from this life into paradise.
I proclaim this openly to the world, that I am sinner, that I am sorry for my sins and iniquities and repent of my sins and iniquities and receive Jesus Christ by faith into my heart, mind and soul as my Lord, Savior and Leader. I openly confess Him as Lord from this moment on, I want to follow Him, I pledge to obey Him daily, and read His word. I will include those in my prayers who are lost and have chosen to deny God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NKJV)
I am in the “Lamb's Book of Life” and will not face “The Great White Throne of God” which leads to Hell.
Jesus said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and lean on Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29 KJV)
The grace and glory be to God. God bless
