Dr. David Wood Proves the Resurrection of Christ 

David Wood was largely responsible for me accepting Christ into my life. Thank you David. I know God put you in my path for a reason. I was an atheist for 38 years and used to argue with Christians online. I couldn't justify my position any longer

God put this guy across my path at the right time.

What convinced me is Pentecost. Before that, the disciples were scared, in hiding, desillusioned. Stephen was already killed. But after that, they were fierce, enboldened, outgoing, nothing could stop them. They had their live's work cut out for them. They suffered, paid with their lives, but they insisted that it was true: that Jesus had risen from the dead. And I think that is what they saw at Pentecost. They saw Him, alive and well. Their belief was not just belief anymore. They were SURE. They KNEW.

Christ died, Christ is risen, Christ will come back, Jesus is Lord, and is risen, risen indeed. Very powerful speech by our brother in Christ Dr.David Wood, amen God bless all of u and @Acts17Apologetics merry Christmas and happy holidays!!!

You will never change anyone's mind without the grace of the risen Christ as they are simply blinded by their own pride! If they admit that you are right, then they must admit that they have been wrong all the time! What a shock to their pride! Pray for them. Pray pray pray that the Lord may give them sight!

We are so blessed to have someone like Dr. David Wood.

Why everyone criticizing Jesus bcoz it is truth and everyone afraid with truth.. Truth makes u naked ur all hiding things come in light... Jesus is way of truth 👏👏👏

David Wood is an amazing testimony for God! He was a psychopath and an atheist who tried to kill his own father with a hammer, and now he's a Christian apologist mostly against islam. Search for his testimony on youtube. Its compelling considering what THE LORD has done with David's life.

Very well done David Wood…Our Lord had indeed risen!!! And He will be back to end the wicked and to take His bride home!

I've had many spiritual experiences. God has answered prayers and answers. He gave me 3 dreams with him. Everything I've seen, experienced No one can tell me Jesus isn't God. I would also give my life for my Lord. Until you experience him for yourself you will never understand!

atheist are like a fish in a deep wide ocean looking for evidence of water, atheist are people who are in love with their sins.

There is more evidence of Christ than Shakespeare. No one doubts Shakespeare.

I saw an angel in my basement, and it told me that Jesus shed His blood to cover my sins. I thought this could be a message from a demon acting as light, even though the messenger felt very lovingly. Soon, I met with people who loved Jesus and the Father, and who called on Jesus' name. I called with them. After genuine calling, I mingled with the Holy Spirit. I have done this several times since. Now I know the messenger in my basement wasn't from the deceiver because when you mingle with the Father, you can actually taste His holiness with your being. That's how you know it's legit folks. I know, I sound crazy, right? What a wonderful Savior have we!

I LOVE DAVID WOOD. HE IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN. HE ALWAYS BACKUP HIS PROCLAIMS WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE IN AN HONEST WAY. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO LEARN FROM HIM. THANK U JESUS FROM SENDING US PEOPLE LIKE DAVID WOOD.

David,proud to see you doing great...you are a prime example were God takes failures and makes champions of them...the best is yet to come for you.

I've experienced a miracle myself, when a skin desease that bothered me for a long time was gone in one milisecond after parents took me to some old granny's house where she healed me by the power of God, she put a leaf from the tree on my skin, said a prayer and the desease was gone in that same moment, but... this wasn't the reason why I started believing in God. I simply always had the feeling that He exists, it's like it was already written down in my heart

As someone who is studying the New Testament at the college level, someone who has studied the idea of textual criticism, someone who committed to the study of this topic for several years before entering college, and as someone who has written a research paper on the very passage that David Wood cites in his opening statement (1 Corinthians 15:1-7), I think my input may be important here, especially seeing the misinformation that is abundant concerning the Gospels and the Pre-Pauline Creed. 1.) It is important to realize that the Bible was originally a circulation of different books, not one single book that was written by a single author. Traditionally, there have been approximately 40 different authors to whom the various books of the Bible have been attributed. This may differ slightly depending on various factors, such as whether or not you accept the JEDP theory as correct or not.The point here is not to nail down who wrote each book of the Bible, but rather to make the finer point that we are not dealing with a single document, but rather a collection of different documents. 2.) I would like to talk about the claims that I have seen in this thread about the Gospels next. Let me start with this: there are very few scholars who deny Marcan Priority. Furthermore, it seems obvious to me based on the internal evidence. Therefore, it is almost certain that Mark's Gospel was the first one that was written. Internal and external evidence suggests that the Gospel was originally penned somewhere between the early 50's AD to the early 60's AD. Certain characteristics of Jesus' Olivet Discourse in this gospel, as well as other factors relating to the idea of Marcan Priority lead to this conclusion. For a fuller treatment, I would point you to F.F. Bruce's work, "The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?," which gives, I think, a fair treatment on the subject and is still considered an essential introduction to New Testament textual criticism today by many. The next Gospel to be written was likely Luke's in the early to mid 60's. Again, internal and external evidence suggest this date. Again, the way the Olivet Discourse is presented is a factor in this, as well as the dating of Acts, which is almost unanimously accepted among scholars to be written by the same author as Luke, and by an eyewitness to many of the events contained in the latter half of Acts. The third to be written was likely Matthew, although the date is often disputed. Depending on which scholar you consult, you will likely get a date between 65-85 AD for its composition. My view is that it was likely composed sometime around or shortly after 70 AD, but this is based largely, I admit, on my understanding of Matthew's purpose in writing his gospel. There are many things that must be debated here, but this is Regardless, it is accepted by even the majority of liberal scholars that Matthew was composed prior to 85 AD. John's gospel is unique in that it is unlike the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) in much of its content. For this reason, it is largely believed that the Gospel of John was composed independently of the other three. There are two different views for the dating of John's Gospel. The minority view places it in the 40's or 50's AD. While this cannot be entirely ruled out, the evidence seems to be against it. It is more likely that this Gospel was composed in the 90's. In short, the claim that the Gospels were composed centuries after the fact is absolutely false. 3.) Some might take issue with the fact that I used the traditional names for the Gospels, despite the question that this may not be accurate. It is true that the Gospels originally circulated anonymously, but this is to the credit of the traditional view rather than its demerit. It is only in respect to the far later (2nd century and beyond) pseudographical and gnostic works that we see names being ascribed. The reason is that the authors of these books wanted to provide an air of authority to these pseudographical books. The fact that the first-century documents circulated anonymously is an indication that they did not feel the need to ascribe a name to the text, likely because the author was already known. To make the next point short for the sake of space, the concept that Mark and Luke wrote the Gospels ascribed to them is more likely given that they were known by the early church to not have been in the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. While it is a remote possibility that Mark had met Jesus near the end of His ministry, it is not certain. In other words, Mark and Luke would have been unlikely candidates. If authority needed to be established concerning the Gospels, we should expect them to ascribe these Gospels to someone like Peter or James or John. The fact that these Gospels are ascribed to individuals who were not part of Jesus's original group counts in favor of the accuracy of the ascription. This leaves Matthew and John. Matthew and John were understood to be the authors of these texts from the early days of the church. While it is more likely than not that these were the actual authors of the Gospels that bear their names, absolute certainty cannot be reached either way. What can be said is that there are certain portions of these Gospels that reek of eyewitness testimony, and portions of which have been confirmed by archaeology. For example, the Fourth Gospel includes a segment of text (John 5:1-16), which includes statement concerning a pool at Bethesda which archaeologists believe they have uncovered. Furthermore, the author appears to have knowledge of local superstitions concerning the pool. An outsider would likely not have had this knowledge had he not been in or around Jerusalem around this time, and almost certainly wouldn't have known specific details about the structure of the place, such as the pool's having five covered colonnades, which, again, has been verified by archaeology. Since the First Gospel, traditionally ascribed to Matthew, uses Mark for a source, its historicity will be tied up closely with Mark's historicity. 4.) +LondonJo mentioned that one of the Gospels is called "Q." This is an incorrect statement based on a misunderstanding of current theories of textual criticism. None of the Gospels are known as "Q." "Q" comes from the German word for "source," which is "quelle." It is believed that an early document circulated, possibly as early as 40 AD (although the exact date is disputed), which contained sayings of Jesus. It was not a Gospel in its own right. Rather, the authors of the Synoptic Gospels appear to have used this as a source when composing their Gospels. There are also the "M" and "L" sources, which appear in Matthew and Luke respectively. The "M" source is understood to be a source which adds information in Matthew's account that is found in neither Mark or Luke. "L" is the same, except it is for information found in Luke's Gospel. In addition to these, other sources have also been identified by textual critics. Internal evidence suggests that Mark's passion narrative came from an independent source. What is peculiar about Mark's Gospel is that he seems to link together short stories and often jumps directly from one scene into another scene without much to connect the two. Strangely, when you get to Mark 14, you have one long, mostly continuous narrative from the early verses of Mark 14 through Mark 16:8. This and other considerations have led the majority of scholars to conclude that this passion narrative did not originate with Mark. It doesn't match his style of writing. It follows, then, that Mark is relying on a different source for his information about the passion, death, and empty tomb. The majority of scholars hold that Mark is relying what has come to be named the "Pre-Marcan Passion Narrative." Internal evidence seems to suggest that this Passion Narrative may go back to within the first 7-10 years after the crucifixion. In summary, the Gospels are not a single document. They are four separate documents, based on even earlier documents that were in circulation. 5.) Some of the earliest Jesus traditions are to be found in Paul's letters. I prefer to use the epistles where Pauline authorship is undisputed, just to make it easier to defend my point. The undisputed letters which contain clear Jesus traditions that serve as a good example are 1 Corinthians (mentioned by David Wood in the video), and 1 Thessalonians. The creed that Paul cites in 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 is almost unanimously believed to predate Paul and is almost unanimously believed by even the most skeptical scholars to have been written no more than 2-5 years after the crucifixion. This gives us a glimpse at the earliest Christian beliefs. There are four early Christian beliefs that are clearly communicated here: A.) The disciples believed that Christ died and connected this to the Old Testament. Again, this is not seriously disputed among historians. B.)The disciples believed that Jesus was buried. This formula doesn't say by whom, but we shouldn't expect it to, since it isn't in the nature of a creedal formula like this one to give every detail. C.) The disciples believed that Jesus was raised bodily on the third day. The Greek word used here (egeiro) ALWAYS denotes a physical body that moves from a prone position to a standing position. This is true when the word is used in both Jewish and pagan literature of the time. It would be inconceivable how this could make its way into such an early creed if the belief in Christ's bodily resurrection were not held to from the earliest days of the church. This establishes the early belief in the resurrection of Jesus. D.) The disciples believed that they experienced appearances of Jesus after His death. Since I have basically written a short essay, I am going to cut it off here. The important thing is that we address the data rather than post our preconceived notions of what the data entails.

David Wood should probably be up for sainthood. His story is the quintessential Christian journey. From what amounts to the dark self-centeredness of demonic possession to the clarity of mind exhibit here with a humble enlightenment and love for his non-believing neighbor. I hope to meet David someday just to shake his hand. Remarkable.

Internet atheists: My source of information is silly memes and two RU-vid videos Woe to those who think there is no God And for no reason something came out of nothing and we are the products of blind forces 😂

Our Lord said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." (John 5:24) Believe in and on the Father and Son people! Trust in Him with all your heart!

this man is a true soldier of Jesus Christ and he is an amazing person I just can't get enough of his videos

From my experience of hellfire, the only word spoken in hellfire is a request for water, water, water by everyone in hellfire. Heaven is full of His praise by His saints and the angels . Hallelujah!

I've heard these points before in various debates but David wood has the best 20 minute opener for the resurrection rightly dedicating a good chunk of his time to the philosophy of skepticism

It's comforting to see calm people talking about their point of views. nowhere do we have someone loosing it and repeating the same sentence 32 times louder and louder.

The real truth is that nobody knows if God exists or not.

Who would stand up and proclaim Christ? who would die for our Lord and Savior proclaiming the truth? David wood! May God continue to enrich you with his knowledge and strength in you

Seeing atheists getting triggered over this video is hilarious.

God Bless David Wood

Jesus is Lord and coming back to take home the believers ✝️🙏

To the atheist in the room, please don't even bother to comment.. i believe in God, Jesus Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit..my faith and knowledge in God is mine and true!! Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that "God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved". Philippians 2:10-11 At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We love you David for your knowledge and sense of humour. God bless you and the family.

me and my best friend always pray to OUR KING OF KING ,JESUS THE DIVINE MERCY asking for a help for brother Yon who suffer from stroke.He was in coma for about 363 days. Brother Yon was an atheis.He admire Stephen Hawkin so much. It is MIRACLE ...... brother yon a week before Idul fitri june 25 2017 awoke from his coma .He can sit now but could not talk yet. And he surprise us by making holy victory sign of the cross 4 TIME. ALLELUYA.......Berkah Dalem. ************ thanks my LORD....YESUS CHRIST.........************* THANKS TO ALL CREW OF BETHESDA HOSPITAL YOGYAKARTA WE LOVE YOU ALL AND G B U.

Not only do we have people witnessed Jesus after three days of crucifixion two thousand seventeen years ago but today in people who are alive , and he will show himself to people yet to be born . The mighty God .

Saul was an exceptional Jew in his century and so zealous that he watched over the clothing of those who didn't want to get mussed up while killing Christians. He met Jesus on the road to Damascus only later to receive both his physical sight and his spiritual insight as to the truth of Jesus being crucified, resurrected and that He was and is God. David Wood had as much contempt for Christians as Saul who became Paul. He went beyond watching others being killed and holding their coasts, he tried to kill his own father. While in jail he met a Christian who would not back down but stood his ground and proved to David Wood that the Christian faith was an objective faith but David wanted the truth and the truth led him to believe as confidently in Jesus being God and resurrected from the dead as he was confident that atheism was true. David, who was antisocial and full of hatred, as you now can see, is not motivated by hate but by the peace and love of Jesus Christ within Him. Moreover some of the finest of Christians partner with him to witness to both Muslims and atheists. David Wood has lots of qualities like Paul. The love which flows in their mutual dedication to the Gospel is a RU-vid phenomenon and itself is a compelling evidence of the truth of the indwelling Holy Spirit that people want what they have: love, confidence, boldness and most of all, a faith which has put them in an awesome relationship with the real and true God. Before the ministry of David Wood and his colleagues, very few Muslims had become Christian. We are now witnessing the battering down of hell's gates. And Muslims are coming out of that faith in droves upon droves. The love of Christ Jesus is that compelling. And this is a testimony to the truth of the Gospel, that men who hated the very nature of Christianity have not only embraced it, but are doing so at risk of their own lives. To me this is a most compelling evidence that Jesus will return soon. Ah, and I want to be ready, don't you?

Vary well said, and true! Praise God for His mercy, and saving my soul from hell, by the death burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16, (paraphrased)

Jesus is real. My family was Hindu, we converted due to the miraculous healing of Jesus❤

God bless Dr David Wood❤️

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen ! Thank you David for your careful rational analysis of the most important question in history.

Dr David Wood, you're forever blessed

I was healed MIRACULOUSLY of ovarian cancer... and I have prayed for and witnessed more miracles than I can count... PTL!

Yes , Jesus Christ absolutely raised his physical body from the dead and is alive forever more .

Great excerpt! Brother David does very well defending the Truth. Thanks for sharing. God bless 🙏🏼

David, just so you can pass on the information that Jesus was seen after he died you may want to use what I use. When I talk to people about this matter I explaine it in the following manner; today we would take pictures and recording's of the event, but we had no devices that could do that when Jesus was crucified & was resurrected. But we did have "eyewitnesses" and they did write this down in the letter &/or book form. Yes, we had "living witnesses" that "saw" him and wrote their experiences down. This was as close as we could get to visual or audio recording's. Yes, witnesses wrote down, in writing that they "saw" "heard" and "touched" Jesus after he was "crucified and died". What more can a man say! AMEN,AMEN!!!

It’s so funny to read comments of people who think they’re scholars stating facts when all they have is their meaningless word or a 15minutes documentary they saw on tick tick…Jesus Christ is LORD of lord’s and KING of king’s!!! Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Jesus Christ is LORD!!!

How To Be Simply Saved. I truly believe, with all my heart, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried and rose again on the third day for my justification according to the scriptures. Amen

Thankful for the work God has done and is doing in and through DW!

he does not prove the resurrection, he makes a strong case for it. subjective testimony is just that, subjective. proof requires objective evidence which can be measured and categorised.

David Wood always amazes me. He's really a powerful servant of God for the diffusion of the Gospel

Quoting verses in book is not evidence.

Thank you David! Keep up the good work. Blessings for you and your beloved ones. 😃

How To Go To Heaven 1. Realize you are a sinner Romans 3:23 exp. lying,cussing,gossip, sex outside marriage 2. Punishment for sin-Lake of Fire Revelation 20:15 3.

David, i really love u because u did brilliant with the love of God and to defend and prove that Christianity is true religion and prove the deity of Christ Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ. I learned lot from u, i am ur big fan God bless you ❤

To begin, my life has been one of creativity. It is that through creating I came to know of Love and through Love did I come to create. The dynamic at work in it all for me has been my imagination, and that my work as a composer serves as testament to my Faith in God, given that I consider God to be my imagination. Some thoughts worth considering if I may, in light of the above, and the creative spirit that has gifted this world so many things at which we marvel, and that more often than not serve to sustain us as a species: Consider if you will, a mind whose imagination knew no bounds in tailoring such spectacles as 'The Taming of the Shrew'; who penned tales of truth and treachery, benevolence and betrayal, love and death, and death as sacrifice in honour of love; dualities within a state to tax even the greatest of truths, the likes of which the world will never bear witness to again. A man whose mind sustained him; in whom the rhythm and texture of words found no other counterpart within the genre of his expression, neither before or after the advent of his being; not in any penned history, tragedy or comedy, neither poem nor varied part that saw his art adapted by way of experimental variance to the contemporary so as to appeal more simply to the herds that otherwise might not have heard his "teachings" for what they were. Where it could well be argued that the canon of works comprising thirty-seven plays, two narrative poems and a collection of sonnets Shakespeare presented to the world "says it all", did not Jesus say it all too, but more precisely, and with no less poetry at play by way of The Sermon on the Mount, and has not The Sermon on the Mount stood the greater test of time? Not that it can be held true, nor even refuted, for we will never surely know, but how much of Shakespeare's work, if we consider it in just proportion to the highest of ideals, could be aligned to the allure of such a sermon that might have served as serum for the sorrows of his own personal life, the death of his son in 1596, his father in 1601 and his mother seven years later in 1608, not to mention the approach of his own passing in 1616, the cause of which is not known ... What frailties of the human experience does Shakespeare touch upon that Jesus did not to divine the way? Against the arras that was to become the backdrop for all subsequent literary endeavours by poets and playwrights alike, being of expression the most ideal, let us now consider The Holy Scriptures, penned as they were so many centuries before, believed by the devout to be a matter of fact, and the "in doubt" a moment of mere fiction; how in light of love their provenance matters little but for the friction that is of this: * For any mind to imagine the coming of a Messiah; the presence of a divinity in human form, that such a form as was Jesus became The Christ who made the blind to see and the lame to walk; who removed illness and raised the dead but to be sacrificed for the sins of the world as was he so humbled before the face of humankind at its most cruel, and then to be resurrected, suggests that within the scribes who had not the inherent styling of speech as did Shakespeare, but whose servitude was such in purity to possibly surpass him - each purity of thought being a pause for thought - was the presence of The Divine, a consummate spirit that was itself both the creator and the creation of His Story: History. How could they have been "imagined" otherwise? How can you first imagine God without God first being present within you? How does any artist imagine their ideal without that ideal first being present in his or her being, or is that where our humility draws the line, at any hint we should so honour the power that first bestowed upon us that by which we ourselves are honoured? To that must then be considered this: how can you first imagine evil without evil first being present within you? How could even Shakespeare first imagine treachery without treachery first being present in him? But then, things can be consciously willed and that they be so willed does not imply one necessarily has the want to occasion them. Conversely, you do not have to be present in God for God to be present within you, and is that not the divine mercy of God, that his love is so to remain present and regardless? It is that whatever tale you tell should adhere to the highest tenet of truth any legalism or casuistry can ever admit, the truth that saw jealousy kill Jesus. And what about the music of Bach, a voice "not quite God" but near enough to at least make you want to believe in the Almighty, and at most exclaims : "I do!" And for that matter, what of the matter that is of you? If The Bible is the sum total of its contradictions, is that not Life? Is that not Love? Is not the greater question one of acceptance? Are we not all, as is Life and Love, the sum total of our contradictions? Therefore, is not The Bible a testament of Life and the treasury of Love one's faith requires of it to be - whatever your belief - if in what you believe there is the presence/prayer-sense of Love? Why bother to debunk or even approve of it, after all, are we not ourselves the greatest piece of fiction before the reality that will be our fate! Is that anything to shake a spear at?

How could anyone view this and think it provides proof? Just quoting Bible verses. He mainly quoted Paul, who if he even existed, never saw the human Jesus. Nothing here about the contradictory Gospels was mentioned. Pfff nothing to see here. Move along.

that guy is a genius :)

So hard to convince non-believers about God, we can only spit facts and let God do his work of changing the person.

Has any scientist figured out how the image on the Shroud of Turin was formed? The last hypothesis I heard was that it is due to high energy radiation that cannot be duplicated in the lab. The reason it cannot be done in a lab is because the radiation is very high and scientists do not have instruments capable of doing that,

The best video I've seen on the resurrection. Great work David.

When are all in the same boat . We are all Filth rags before God almighty .. until we believe in Jesus ..I believe in him ..

Scene 1: Jesus is crucified. Scene 2: All disciples run and hide for their lives. Fast forward to Scene 4: All disciples give up their lives. If there was no resurrection in scene 3,

You provided claims, you didnt provide proof much less evidence

Jesus is awesome,ive tried different religions, beliefs and philosophies, but i feel at home when i concentrate on christ, he is my lord and high priest and he loves you very much

Your attestation of the NT is sourced from the NT and ”a variety of sources”, in addition to ”authoritative tradition” which are not named. The NT cannot verify itself. You failed to provide proof. Where is the proof of the resurrection??

David Wood proves the resurrection of Jesus. Short answer No, long answer Nooooo. He does not at all.

It's easy to deny the truth, and hard to live by the truth. But those who stick by Jesus will live and going to have life in abundance. And those who reject life will unfortunately find themselves locked out when they see Isaac, Abraham and Moses, and all the other prophets sitting around the table in heaven with Jesus because these believers chose to live, but they decided to reject the life, but nobody can ever cease to exist, so there's only one place to go in which life is not which is the worst place imaginable.

Easy to be an atheist when your alive!!! Jesus is our lord of lords!! ..turn blue ,yellow,green if you want..! ..seek jesus and you find him .., or don't seek and not find him ...amen ....do what you want non believers!!!!

The hallucination theory is one of the funniest and also most disrespectful things ive ever heard about the resurrection

My fellow atheists : let them just live happily in their fantasy .I am telling you ..trying to reason with them is a waste of time .

I had my eyesight restored after a chemical spill!

Please see the movie The case for Christ'. Then you can comment. if you refuse to see it then you just want to be ignorant.

Have you ever wondered why Jews, who had held on so strongly to Judaism for thousands of years, suddenly jettisoned their religion and were, all of a sudden, ready and eager to die fearlessly following the death of Jesus? It must be because of something they witnessed and experienced in that encounter, something revolutionary, far surpassing their previous religious beliefs and convictions. Please, read the book entitled 'The Case for Christ', written by historian named Lee Strobel. There's also a talk on this topic here on RU-vid. God's abundant blessings on everyone.

Atheists has nothing on him

Next, Dr. David Wood "proves" the existence of the Smurfs, Dracula and the Big Bad Wolf

If someone says that multiple people witnessed Jesus after his death then that is the testimony of 1 person only. This kind of "evidence" doesnt compare to evidence supporting naturalism, only someone who hasn't studied science could think it does. Its easy for me to account for the apostles conviction and healing miracles using psychology, which can also account for the beliefs and testimonys of other religioua faiths (which Christians have no right to refute, according to his reasoning). Finally, why isnt the atheist included in the video? That does not show integrity in my opinion

The burden of proof that Jesus didn't exist rests with those who make that claim. Just abusing Christians is not good enough. But that's all they do. But Christians aren't going away. EVER.

Here's the really sad thing. Let's say for the sake of argument Jesus did come back from the dead. Now prove that god is the one that brought him back from the dead. If someone actually did come back from the dead, all we could say about it honestly is "A person came back from the dead, and we don't know how". The is no rational justification for concluding that the way they came back from the dead, was because god raised them from the dead. There is no way to demonstrate supernatural causality.

Dr. Wood looks so much younger sans his beard. I've been following his work (along with Apostate Prophet, Al Fadi, Dr. Jay Smith, and Hatun Tosh) on the problems with Islamic teaching. He's very knowledgeable and is given to humorous observations at time. Very enjoyable.

God bless you for discussing Jesus ... and for standing strong about His deity ... so sad that the scoffers do just what The Bible said they would.

There are no proofs of the resurrection, but there are evidences. God only requires faith to be saved, not proofs. Since God has never required "proofs" to be saved, neither should we say we have, or there are, proofs of the resurrection. Even if there were "proofs" many of the people commenting would not believe, they refuse to believe not based on the evidences, but because of their hard hearts and closed minds.

That was pretty awesome. It’s odd, tonight my daughters came to me and we spoke about how we can be sure that Jesus rose from the dead. I bought Paul up and told my girls that his life was a solid indicator that Jesus did indeed rise. Dr. David Wood is validating what I am teaching my own family, and that makes me very happy.

The truth, sadly, is you can lay a bunch of facts out, but if God does not bring someone to the point where they are open to hear it. You are talking to deaf ears. May God open you heart and your mind and your eyes to see who He is and what He did. The fault is not yours because it is the father of lies who is leading you astray, but he rejoices that you will share in his punishment with him. He hated you from the time God formed you from the clay of the earth and breathed life into you. He hated you because you were in the image of God and were given more authority than him. Some people will cling to him there whole lives never knowing that he hates them and cares nothing for them. We are dying in sin because of the devil and even if he could he would not lift a finger to save us, but God did. Give God the the glory for what he did, and stop clinging to the one who seeks your soul. Mark 8:36, "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"

Thank you, David. Keep on keepin' on. Jesus is coming soon. Well done, good and faithful servant. That's what He will say to you!

I have a lot of respect for believers. But I do think there are a few problems with his arguments. 1. Paul certainly believed in a physical resurrection, but In 1 Corinthians 15 he doesn't specify he saw a physical Jesus or exactly how Jesus appeared to him (or any one else!). It's largely a spiritual experience for Paul, but a spiritual experience can't constitute as evidence for something happening historically. There are many people throughout history who could say (and truly believe!) Jesus "appeared" to them. But that doesn't make it true. 2. Jesus' resurrection wouldn't necessarily prove his teachings were true or that he was the messiah or God. In the ancient world it seems belief in resurrection was common. In Matthew many saints are resurrected and walk around the city. Apollonius of Tyana was thought to have been resurrected as well, and like Jesus, is believed to have appeared to his followers after his death. 3. Saying that the early apostles dying as martyrs is evidence for the resurrection is problematic. There have been plenty of martyrs throughout history in many religions, but It doesn't mean their evidence was any stronger than ours. In fact, most are martyred because of their faith, not because of their facts. Martyrdom only proves *they were believers*, it doesn't prove their beliefs are true. And, for all we know, there may have been hundreds of early Christians who *didn't* die as martyrs because the evidence *wasn't* convincing enough. But that wouldn't have any bearing on whether the resurrection actually happened or not, because martyrdom is only a measure of personal conviction, not whether those convictions are true or not. 4. So, ultimately, all Dr. Wood has shown is that some early Christians (just like Christians today) believed that Jesus was resurrected, and that some were willing to die for that belief. But that doesn't prove anything about whether the resurrection actually happened or not historically. (I'm not saying it didn't, I'm just saying he didn't prove it historically.)

Claims are NOT "proofs".

What David said in the beginning about atheists spending so much of their short lives trying to refute Christianity because something spiritual is happening is so spot on.

No evidence, just long streams of appeals to authority fallacies.

This does not prove that he rose from the dead in any way.

U are a great example & inspiration of conversion to Christianity, Jesus is our lifeline thru our pain & suffering with blessings. 🤲🇦🇺

I had end stage heart failure and I’m now an atheist. My heat recovered and the doctors said it was not a miracle but they had never seen that occur before.

I think the term "Scholarship" is used very lightly in this context. Probably the cheesiest proof offered since the great Casper the Friendly Ghost Family Tree case in the early 70s

This was my first video by Dr. David Wood six years ago. I became addicted to his video instantly.

Classic example of clickbait

This video should have been titled " Come and see the worlds biggest liar"

By this logic Elvis was also resurrected b/c 1) We know he died 2) People claim to have seen him after his death.

No, jesus's death by crucifixion is not one of the most well established "facts" in history.
