"Is God Real?" by Lee Strobel | Chazz Palminteri & Michael Franzese 

Evolution means change. Darwin had a theory, not an absolute truth. God created everything. HE said, "Iam that Iam"..HE always was. Hell is separation from God and worse. I prefer to accept Jesus and walk right. There is blessed security in that.❤Love you guys. Just pray for non believers.

I believe if one wants to find God, HE will reveal HIMSELF to you. We serve a Mighty and Merciful GOD.

I needed to hear your story Chazz, thank you I'm in my 68 yrs old and I'm sensing the end is near and believe in Jesus Christ and was raised a strict Roman Catholic everything in Latin, Alter boy and have faith!

Michael and Chaz if I can recommend 2 books that can greatly add to the topic too Return of the God hypothesis- 3 scientific discoveries that reveal the Mind behind the universe ( Stephen Meyer ) Undeniable - how biology confirms our intuition that life is designed ( Douglas Axe )

Mr Francis there is a higher power that's bigger than all of us RIP to a good friend in England

Chass looks unwell I hope am wrong

My friend who was an atheist died after an asthma attack. She said she had a near death experience and she felt so much love coming from our Lord. She was revived and told us about the wonders of heaven.

Love the show and both of your stories. Michael is very articulate and is great to listen to not only because of his story, but his ability to speak from the heart and mean what he says.

It’s not about God! It’s about his Son Jesus Christ!!!

Of course God is real, and He's described in Daniel 10:5-6 "His body is bluish in color, bedecked with ornaments of gold," not some impersonal energy. God is "the cause of all causes."

Thank you for sharing this; Michael and Chazz; please do more of these; enjoy the mob insights etc; but we all were once 6:23 part of Satan’s Mafi (Eph. 2:1-3) ; but God! Vs4-10 etc; 2 Cor. 5:17-21☝️; love when you share Jesus in Truth! In the newness of LIFE of Jesus; Gal. 2:20! Maranatha!☝️

great episode today god bless me safe there!!!!!

Great video Praise God Jesus is real!

the case for christ . is the 1st book

I often tell my daughter we don't have a religion for we have a faith love how you describe both of your relationships with God the Father. Amen.

Thank you again gentlemen. I hope your holidays were as good as they were for our family. You two stay blessed!!

You mentioned Moses and the "burning bush" in reference to him seeing God. Maybe Moses was not qualified to see beyond the effulgence of God, for that particular mission, not an actual burning bush. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is 'not' impersonal.

Thank you for this. Brilliant!!!! I can feel it in my bones and heart that God is real.

God have saved my life many times. For that im grateful. Jesus is king. Amen

I’m a stone cold athiest and all I can say is this entire book is based off the god of the gaps argument which boils down to: “We don’t know so it must have been god.” Next you brought forth Pascal’s Wager, if we don’t know isn’t it better to just serve. Well, the question remains, are you only serving your god out of fear of retribution? Basing your entire belief system off of a wager? All due respect, love your work. Keep it up. I’m willing to listen even if it on something I disagree with ❤have a good day.

Gentlemen, going a step further- it was not the fabled apple that was eaten. Biblically, in the book of Genesis 2: 7-25, especially verses 15-17, and verse 17 being the key - "but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die." Then in Chapter 3:1-7 the serpent appear to Eve and tempts her with his deceitful craftiness about eating from the Garden of the knowledge of good and evil. She eats, then has her husband eat from the fruit also. At that point, their eyes are opened and they now know that they were naked. Verse 8 God finds Adam and Eve hiding. Read on!

One of the most important Commandments: be as wise as a serpent. As to death, it is either a transition or an end...If the evidence is irrefutable that is fine but there is one caveat: people often manifest their own wishes.. As someone once said , the answer as to God's existence is outside time and space....Would be nice if there were a transition though. .

Where I came from, why I'm here, and where I go from here, I don't know. The only thing I know is that I am not this body; it's not the same body that came out of my mother's womb; it's changing every moment, temporary, like a dream. Energy can not be created nor destroyed; our consciousness remains the same; it's the spirit soul that's eternal.

Mike has stated that he’s not a big reader. But he’s passionate about this one. I can tell. I’ll bet he reads this book. lol 😂

Once upon a time, there was a king who desired to see God.Calling for his chief minister, he asked, "Can you show me God? Can you clearly tell me what God is doing?" The minister, although highly learned, could not immediately think of an appropriate answer to the king's question, so he requested that the king grant him three days to determine a suitable reply. The king agreed but cautioned that an unsatisfactory answer would drastically reduce his faith in him as a minister. The minister returned to his residence and, with much intensity, researched all of the books in his library with the hope of finding an acceptable answer to the king's question. Two days later, he still had not met with success. As he sat, lamenting, in his library, his five-year-old son wandered over to him and asked, "Father, why do you look so unhappy?" "I am unable to find a reasonable answer to a question the king has asked me and, as a result, I may lose my post in the court." "What is the king's question?" the boy inquired. "It is too lofty a question for you to understand, my son. Don't worry your little mind about it." However, his son was persistent and finally the minister told him, "The king wants to see God and know what He is doing. I have scrutinized all the scriptures but cannot find a conclusive answer to this question." The small boy smiled sweetly and replied, "Father, this is simple. When you go to court tomorrow, tell the king that the answer to this question is so easy that even your small son can tell him how to see God and explain what He is doing." The forlorn minister looked at his son in disbelief, but his son reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, Father, I promise I will not let you down." The minister, now desperate, had no alternative but to place his hope and faith in his small boy. The next morning, they went to the royal court together. The king received his minister and again inquired, "My dear minister, can you show me God and tell me what He is doing?" The minister humbly replied, "O King, this question is so simple that even my young son can answer it." Although he was surprised, the king turned to the boy and said, "Very good. Well, my dear boy, can you show me God and tell me what He is doing?" The small boy said, "Dear King, please bring a large pot of milk." Although somewhat taken aback at this request, the king complied. "My dear King, is there butter in this milk?" the boy asked. The king thought for a moment. "Yes, of course, there is butter in the milk," he said. "Can you show it to me?" inquired the small boy. "Yes," replied the King, "but first, in order for the butter to be seen, we must churn the milk." "Exactly," replied the boy. "Similarly, there is a process by which we can see God. When we follow that divine process, God will surely manifest before us. Without this process of devout spiritual practice, God is hidden from our direct sight, in the same way butter is hidden within milk until the milk is churned." Upon hearing this wonderfully logical explanation in response to his first question, the king was fully satisfied. He then asked the minister's son to answer his second question. "Now, can you tell me what God is doing?" "Well," said the small boy, "you are inquiring from me just as a student inquires from the teacher, but you are sitting upon a high throne and I am sitting before you on the ground. According to etiquette, you should be sitting in the humble position and I should be sitting on the elevated seat." Seeing the truth in the boy's words, the king rose from his throne and sat on the floor. The small boy ascended to the throne. "This is what God is doing," said the boy. "Sometimes He puts us in a high position and sometimes in a low one, according to the results of our previous activities. Sometimes we take a seemingly exalted birth and sometimes we take a lowly one. God is arranging these changes and awarding different results according to our karma." The king was so satisfied with the boy's answers that he proclaimed these truths throughout his kingdom. He handsomely rewarded the minister and his brilliant son with many valuable gifts.

Like watering a tree, you water the roots (source), which supplies the branches, leaves, and fruit. Similarly, the limbs of the body work to serve the stomach, 'center', the same way Jesus, Mary, etc., work to serve God (the Center), we should try to serve (not necessarily worship) God, which will keep the entire system satisfied. Worshipping a Saint, Jesus, Mary (who is actually not the mother of God) is an indirect method and borderline 'false idol' or 'personality worship' at best.

If you can prove it it’s not faith

It's Kind of Hard to Top the Original " But God has revealed them to us through His { Spirit } . For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of a man which is in him ? Even so, { no one } knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. { Now we have received } , not the spirit of the world, but the { Spirit who is from God } , that we might know the things that have been freely { given } to us by God. These things we also speak, { not in words which man's wisdom teaches } but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man { does not } receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him ; { nor can he know them } , because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, { yet he himself is rightly judged by no one } . For ' who has known the mind of the Lord that He may instruct him ? ' But we have the mind of Christ. " " Whenever you meet a { genuinely } saved Christian, you are meeting someone in whom Christ lives. " Whenever you meet an unregenerate person, you are meeting someone in whom He, ---------- does not. ✔ It's kind of hard to top the original. People can try as they might, but God still hasn't revised or edited the Gospel. I'm betting that He likely will not be doing that today, or anytime soon. The Gospel, contrary to the error which fills { all } unregenerate minds.

Read Psalms. It is foretelling the coming of Christ. It is quite fascinating

Thank you…fellas. 😎 God be with and cover you, your families, and all of those you hold dear. In Jesus’ sweet name! Amen.

New King James Version For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I have put this book on hold at the library. Looking forward to reading his story.

I heard someone back in the 80s, I wish I remembered who, talk about how much faith is required to believe there is no God. I'm paraphrasing. Faith to believe the planets aligned around a star in just the right positions to revolve around the sun with the earth roting at just the right speed to create the right gravity and just the right elements in the atmosphere to allow life, and on and on. Then life just magically started and evolved. Really? Think of the faith required. And they redicule Christians for believing God created everything in the right proportions and locations with the life forms including one that is in His image with a soul. One thing for those who believe in the theory of evolution, show where in history any animal has evolved into a different animal. There isn't any instance of this occurring. Not one. A professor in college stated the observation that Darwin was funded by men starting the industrial revolution. He came up with theories to justify their greed "Survival of the fittest".

I always say as a Christian talking to a non believer if I’m wrong and you’re right what have I lost, but if I’m right and you’re wrong what have you lost.

Humans needs faith, that's clear, but the real question is: is god from the bible real or Jesus, it would be a great debate between you wise guys and Lawrence Krauss or Richard Dawkins

It won't be the age old question because he ain't real. I'm not trying to be disrespectful to any believer but in 1000 years I really doubt that it'll be a relevant question.

If you are Catholic wouldn't that mean you believe in Jesus? Isn't a Catholic just another form of the church that believes that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again to give us a way to heaven. Every Catholic I met believes in Jesus because their faith is a Christian faith.

I truly love watching these mature men that speaks nothing but sense and the absolute truth.

Jesus was a person who came to earth and said he was the son of God. "No one comes to the father except through me". People witnessed this. Either you believe this or you have to believe he was crazy. There is no in between. He was God incarnate.

This is so good! Thank you both, please more broadcasts like this. You have helped me a lot. Thank both of you and God bless.

The priests blessed our helicopter be4 our mission in 191 we got shot up.

YES

I would love to believe but the one thing I always come to is seeing sick kids who are innocent. There is no explanation for that to me. I am not against religion, I am actually jealous of those who do believe because I feel like I need that myself, but I just come back to those sick children.

GOD IS REAL AND MADE THE WORLD AND FOOD ANIMALS AND ITS MAKES SENSE LOVE GOD XXX

The Bible says “The Fool says in his heart, there is no GOD”

If there is a blessing of any kind to come from an atheist, and itself the climax of insanity it will be this Unity among those professing to believe in God why is atheism the climax of insanity? I claimed that gratitude is one of the very first and shortest indications of intelligence, an atheism is the blackest ingratitude possible. Furthermore, atheism Rob's man of Supernatural hope, the very soul of human happiness Fr. Solanus Casey.

This was a Blessing! Michael, God has anointed you to share His Word with boldness! (Isaiah 55:11) His Word Never returns to Him void! (2Timothy 3:16) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of GOD! JOHN 3:3 JESUS SAID, “UNLESS ONE IS BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD!” God bless you abundantly Michael and Chazz!

Meditations marcus aurelius

When will the merch be available for purchase ? love the show

Hi Mike and Chazz you guys needed to watch this on youtube please Why i beliveve the bible

Who Moved the Stone? Frank Morison "I owe Morison a great debt of gratitude. Who Moved the Stone? was an important early link in a long chain of evidence that God used to bring me into his kingdom. Morison’s stirring intellectual exploration of the historical record proved to be an excellent starting point for my spiritual investigation." --From the foreword by Lee Strobel

Just a clarify to Mr. Palminteri, the Bible never mentioned that it was an apple it saids a fruit.

Love the sweater Chazz, Go Blue!!! Beat Washington!!

Thank you gentlemen.

Just finished watching this, as always......brilliant, intelligent and interesting. Thanks and God bless you both 🙏 Paulie from Sydney Australia.

Michael, you should do an episode in the book of Job, tying it to your tribulation in solitary confinement.

Where did the one cell come from?

Why does a car have steering? Why does it have a motor? Why wheels? why brakes? why headlights? Were all these things created for a purpose? YES!! Now - Why do we have a heart? lungs? eyes? Arms-legs -fingers -toes? Were all the features we have for a purpose? YES! Were we created by something like a car? YES! The only difference is a car was created by men but humans were created by God. God knew we were going to need a heart -lungs -arms -legs -eyes etc... so he gave them to us just like humans knew a car needed a motor -wheels - brakes headlights etc... Would all these things have been there without any plan -purpose- or creation from something or someone? Absolutely not! I rest my case. We are the perfect distance from the sun so we can survive without freezing or burning to death. Is that just luck? If you believe it is luck you would believe anything but not believe in God? That doesnt make any sense at all. This universe was designed down to the millisecond in time. Without a divine mastermind the universe would have failed to exist even before the 1st star or planet was created and there are hundreds of trillions of them now. Whomever doesnt believe in a creator just go look at your car in the driveway and try to convince yourself it wasnt made by a designer or creator.Its there for a purpose that was well planned out and has evolved dramatically over time. Just like WHO? - US!!!! There IS a God my friends!! I love you all. Another thing only God could create and give to us. Its called love.

Chaz Joe was there because if he wasn't there at that sec you may of shook it off but he had to be there so it all makes sense....

God is real brothers.. If he didn't nothing would be there. .

If we don't question our self doubts makes us ignorant in a sense we have to question our doubts, no matter what is the outcome....

Wonderful. Truly enjoyed this. Praise God

It's so insane that the cosmological argument is still being talked about as a proof for god.

Really feels like they are trying hard to bend any evidence to what they already believe. BTW is Chazz ok? He looks like he fighting cancer or something. Man I hope he's OK

Mr Michael and Mr Chazz please review the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Appreciate this guys ive a young son i need to introducee to mass Hes only 1 😊 but i want our faith to be part of his life God bless ❤

I believe in God Almighty and Jesus Christ, without the Christian religion. My beliefs are based on my personal experiences, which I call Common Sence. I do not believe in Satan only EVIL people. Satan was only a jealous of God angel, and jealousy came from God. Your own Christain religion said this, when God said to Moses , " I am a JEALOUS God therefor you shall not worship other Gods." I believe there are Good and Evil people as well as spirits and it all comes from GOD. God Bless You..

Think for yourself;I ain’t scared of nothing but Jesus. Muscles by Marvin,Atlanta Ga,

Hell was not created for human beings. Hell was created for the devil and his rebellious angels that chose not to continue in their heavenly position. God created the human race to become the son's of the kingdom of God. To be sons of God's light and love. But heaven has rules. Everywhere you go in life there are rules. You have rules in your home you have rules in the workplace you have rules in school and you have rules on the streets. Disobey the rules of society and you go to jail. How long do you think i would be able to stay in your home if i disrespect your family and try to hurt your family? I dont think i would be there very long before the serious consequences would occur for breaking rules. Gods kingdom has rules. If we want to get to heaven we must obey God's word and his rules for holy living. Because if someone is unwilling to obey God's rules on earth i highly doubt that rebellious person would obey God in heaven. God gave us a choice to choose between good and evil. But if God were to allow unrepentant sinners into his Kingdom war and corruption would break out in heaven. And that is something God can't allow in heaven. But the choice is ours to make

Its (say) 1873, at that time based on what was Known though science a good argument could be made for Atheism. Thing is as we have learned more and more though science about The Universe those arguments have gotten weaker and weaker. Until today (to quote Frank Turek) "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist."

We are all Vessels in this Ocean if Life. It's Good to have some Stabilty, Direction. Like a Light House. Ty Gentlemen 🍷🍷

around minute 13, I think Micheal meant, "if we're right, u got a lot to gain, if we're wrong, u have *not much to lose*" ... makes sense? if not I don't get it!

May I suggest, when you get a chance, a book by Pastor Roland Buck, Angels on Assignment.

Absolutely!! You can't get something out of nothing.... the universe, earth was created..... Buy God almighty.... Good talk Gentleman.....

So much wisdom in the words of those two guys….thank you

These zoom call videos suck

When do we get some new episodes??????

Great, blessings from Norway

I really enjoy the both of you!

you guys are great

👍👍👍👍👍👍

if there is a god who created him?

Truth is nobody knows. And if he is real he’s not doing a good job at all

In first corinthians Paul says I didn't come with excellency of speech and tysing words did the Claire on to the testimony of Christ but I came in the power of the holy ghost the power of God that your face will be in the power of God not a man that's the real truth you gotta give your whole heart to the Lord all of it Then he will reveal himself to you then you will know he is real😂

No one can come to the
