LEE STROBEL - The Case for Christ 

Amen hallelujah!

these innocent, innocent boomers

@Winston Kent My aren't you clever... it must be great to know everything there is to know... I hope you are pleased with the number of people you have assembled to kneel before your greatness.

@GTA GALAXY Do you feed children? Do you go out and help people?

@GTA GALAXY God does help people. It's about saving you from hell. Since he is holy. He must punish sin. You also seem to forget God sends his followers to help these people in need. He has Christians giving food to people all over the world. God causes food to grow. God made the water. God does way more than you think.

@@lycanthropegaming3432 So you believe that god saving what is likely a tiny percentage of all humans throughout history, from going to the hell that he created, and condemning the rest of us to eternal torment in the aforementioned hell that he created, makes god good?

@@mckinnonmitchell9129 I didn't even day the word worst

God bless the people of China!

Last time the Chinese heard about god they went crazy and killed millions because of one deranged lunatic LOL.

@@Itsatz0 you're trolling right now right?

How will you do this bro

It really is!

I think they resonate with a lot of people. They surely resonated with me. But I'm not sure if it's warranted. If you compare your intimate knowledge about your relationship with God with the public display of other people's relationship with God you might end up believing that they got something that you don't got and in consequence doubting your salvation. If you in fact as you say believe in and accept Jesus, what more can you do? What more is in your hands? You can always deepen and improve your relationship to God, but If believing and accepting hasn't made you recieve, as you think, then what are you planning to do?

Only Jesus, who is God in Human form who can help us turn from our ways since it’s a spiritual war. If your soul wasn’t worth so much both sides would not war for it.

Keep praying to God, keep seeking Him. Your answer will come, that's a guarantee :) Keep going, Milly

Milly Esther It's not a question of why. The question is, are you still praying, still believing, still trusting, still waiting? The Bible says "Wait on the Lord". Because He has not answered does not mean He will not answer.

In His perfect timing. God is God.

Free will. Faith.

Winston Kent Jesus is Lord ✝️

Thanks for watching!

connj67 thank you!

The onyl eye witnesses willing to die were those only talked about in the bible, empty tomb shroud, whatever... If he's going to quote from historians then at least tell us that they all agree that the temple built on some random cave 400 years after the fact is most-likely not the site of Jesus's burial.

connj67 1) Probably true, the romans crucified hundreds of criminals each week. 2) The earliest writings are from Paul, who doesn’t mention a single detail about the life of Jesus, his ministry or the circumstances of his death... he also doesn’t mention the empty tomb. 3) The shroud is a forgery from the 16th century. Historians don’t believe that the empty tomb existed... the corpse of Jesus was probably left to rot on the cross. That was part of the punishment. 4) The gospels weren’t written by eyewitnesses and contradict what we actually know about history and how reality works. The stories about the death of the disciples were invented 100 years after the event and are nothing more than church tradition. Most of the stories cone from the heretical gospels that didn’t make it into the Bible.

@@ramigilneas9274 such a baseless claim. And if Jesus was really left to rot on the cross there would be historical eyewitness accounts, the apostles would have said something, Romans somebody would do something with or at least acknowledge it. They wouldn’t just leave it there. The Roman law even says that it is allowed for crucified victims to be put in a tomb AND there is archaeological evidence. We also have a very good reason to believe that he was put in the tomb not only from the Bible but from historical evidence.

@@tatecalaway7701 The case against the existence of the empty tomb: -no mention of Joseph or Arimathea outside of the gospels. -no mention of the town of Arimathea outside of the gospels and no archeological evidence that this place ever existed. -Arimathea translates to something like "best disciple town“ which sounds made up. -the empty tomb isn’t mentioned anywhere outside of the gospels. -the romans crucified hundreds of people each week, usually they were left to rot on the cross or ditched in a mass grave. That was part of the punishment and we don’t know of any exceptions for insurrectionists like Jesus. -The Romans didn’t care about jewish burial laws in cases of capital punishment which is attested by many historical sources. -Paul, our earliest source doesn’t mention the empty tomb or Joseph or Arimathea. -the story looks like it was invented to fulfill a prophecy "Jesus is buried with the rich“. -the character of Joseph of Arimathea enters the story just to provide an empty tomb, then immediately leaves the story again just to be never heard of again. Sounds like something written by JJ Abrams.😉 -in the beginning of the life of Jesus there were Joseph and Mary... and in the end of his life there were different people called Joseph and Mary. Sounds like something George Lucas would write... it’s like poetry, it rhymes.😉 -the empty tomb is probably the most important place ever for Christians... but somehow they immediately forgot where it is. And it has never been found.😂

@@mckinnonmitchell9129 Well that's interesting McKinnon...and a bit personal considering I've investigated many homicides and never lost a case and trained thousands of LEO's across the US. But rather than compare resume's, why not tell me why my conclusion is so "highly flawed?" Perhaps you could teach me the "complexities" of your investigation?

@@mckinnonmitchell9129 Of course, the Bible contains parables. However, it also contains MANY miracles - haling the paralyzed, giving sight to the blind, feeding thousands, walking on water, and then there is that rising from the dead trick. These events and more were documented while many of those who witnessed them were still alive. They are verifiable and trustworthy through the documentation. Jesus left plenty of "evidence" for anyone who would seek him would find truth. Like Les Stroebel and countless others. Is there faith involved? I didn't witness the incidents, but I know they are reliable. The Bible has an answer for that, to...."Blesses are those who believe without having seen." Do you really think a God who created the heavens and earth couldn't turn a stick into a snake? Indeed, who created you?

@@mckinnonmitchell9129 You sir, are the one who is closed minded. Any good investigator approaches an investigation with an open, even skeptical mind. The things you say (regarding witnesses and your approach in general) would cause me to seriously doubt your ability. If you would do that in your approach to the gospel, you would find it credible. However, by your own admission, you have already made up your mind. Regardless, what you think is immaterial as God's plan will be carried out and every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess - including yours. Solomon said it is surely a fool who is wise in his own eyes...and you are surely wise.

@@mckinnonmitchell9129 I sincerely hope you are not a LEO. You have clearly demonstrated a lack of understanding of eye witness testimony and have so much hatred in your heart, I can't imagine you actually serving the public. Nonetheless, we will agree to disagree and I hope we both find what we seek. Nobody is beyond God's grace - or judgment.

I felt 'born again' when I finally realized that what I had been indoctrinated to believe in Sunday school wasn't true, the whole world opened up to me. It still chokes me up.

You have a hope of salvation, zero evidence of a god

Praise God!!!

That's the best comment of all of RU-vid !!

Why would someone believe that God turned into a man when the Bible says that God is greater than Jesus ‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28) ‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29) Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him. The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to the clear words from Jesus. Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him ‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2) ‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23) ‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.’ (John 4:23) If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for himself Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore, he was not God. Jesus worshipped the only true God ‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.’ (John 17:3) ‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12) ‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew 20:28) How did Jesus pray to God? ‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39) ‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7) Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face? Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man, sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding ‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?

@@seekerofknowledge6595 Very thorough analysis, however, have you examined Phillippians 2 verses 6-7. Jesus, who, being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by emptying himself of his divinity, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. John 1:1, In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Hence, when Jesus emptied himself of his divinity and made himself a human, His role changed, he was no longer portraying God the son, but the son of God. This is why He said that my Father is greater than I, because His Father was greater than him since He was in human form during the time when He was on the earth and dwelt among us. His role on earth was not to be God or say that He was God but to be a humble servant of God and fulfill what he came down to earth to do, and that is to save humanity. Jesus has accomplished that mission as such, he ascended back into heaven and has retained His role of God. It is a hard message to understand and only faith can compensate so that you can understand and believe.

@@maxjulien188 you just blew my mind.

You might be right but clearly missing the obvious point 😉❤️

@@seekerofknowledge6595 JESUS IS GOD!

God bless you!

I follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ and His example of Love to begin with and add on from there. Not worried about doctrinal issues. Just start there at his example of love and learn from there. I don't use scriptures to belittle anyone or think I am superior than someone else.That's the start.

I respect your personal opinion. God bless you.

God bless you never give up faith!!!

What happened that day that you commited truly Brother? How did he come to you?

Good for you! But you did it yourself.

@@DrDajom no I did it for myself. I didn't do it by myself. Big difference. I give the credit to God, because if I take the credit for God giving me the strength to overcome my addictions, I would be offending and stealing from God. So...no thanks.

@@Agateophobiadragon because I know of no other God.

@@Agateophobiadragon I have heard of other gods, but I have not pursued them. Why should I follow a god who has nothing to offer when the God I worship has offered me Eternal Life? The God I worship is greater than the Universe, and has created worlds without number and without end.

@@Agateophobiadragon which gods are you talking about? Zeus? Odin? Shiva? What other god is there who offers life after death, resurrection, and Eternal Life? For no other god has answered my prayers or the questions that have troubled my heart. Through the power of God and through His Holy Spirit, He has testified to my heart and soul, that He lives! No other gods has manifested themselves to me like the God of Israel has.

If you were alive when Jesus was alive you would have Worshiped only one God, without a father, nor a son and with no divisible parts. *"O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs."* - [Qur'an 4:171]

As good to be alive even now in His Presence along with the Comforter.

@@seekerofknowledge6595 Muhammad was an idiot that ate poisoned food that was fed to him by the widow of a man he killed. He was a child rapist and a liar. It even says in the Quran that the consequences of being a false prophet was to have his aorta severed, which is also stated at the end of the book as the cause of his death. He married a 9 year old girl and was a murderer.

There's no proof that Jesus even walk this Earth Hearsay is A badd way of proof and The Bible is all hearsay

So....how come suicide terrorists are so commited? How come the kamikaze pilots were so committed? See? Many people can be very committed to very wrong ideas. Commitment is sign of idiocy. Doubt is sign of rational thinking.

@@LeonardLeon Ive thought those exact words more times than I can count. I'm committed to the God of the Bible. You're an idiot cause you're committed to nothing. Christians doubt all the time. The Bible says, "test all things". My conclusion is- I trust God. You trust time and chance.

@@fonzo6315 no. I trust verifyable evidence more than the ramblings of bronze age sheep herders who got wrong even the shape of the earth. Actually you are lying. The bible repeatedly says not to doubt and not to test. The story of doubting Thomas was inserted specificallymfor this purpose. Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land exactly for doubting. Why the ffuck are you lying?

@@LeonardLeon you know just enough, but not enough to pay attention. Read the Bible as a history book, maybe you will see the story, it isn’t hard to miss.

Amen! Actually the Holy Spirit teach us in all (John 14), and He uses many people as Brother Lee... God is the Holy Spirit - Job 26/Job 33/Psalm 104/Psalm 139/Acts 5/2 Cor. 3........ May all of the Glory go to the NAME of the FATHER and the SON (the WORD) and the HOLY SPIRIT - JESUS CHRIST, Amen! God bless you and your whole household! Maranatha (Come Lord Jesus)

He is still alive and on Twitter.

I don't know who you're struggling with, but one thing I know - Love them like Jesus loves you. The way he forgives you, strengthens and encourages you, shows you his love is abundance of ways everyday. It sounds like a fairytale to say that loving people changes them. We don't think it's powerful enough. We think they need something groundshaking or shocking. But they need the same love that held Jesus on the cross, the same love of God that saved us. ❤️

GTA GALAXY that’s up to you but in the words of Christ man shall not live by bread alone; meaning don’t put value in the material world, those who suffer will be rewarded.

GTA GALAXY Yes you should because we are finite he is infinite he can see the good that will come from it. We created the sin in the world that causes the suffering I can’t tell you why a certain individual baby dies or when some other horrific thing happens like a rape or a murder I do know that both good and bad things ripple forward into the future and we can’t always see the outcome of it. For example my Great great grandfather ( long story short ) shot a guy he ending up going and being held in prison in there he became friends with the sheriff. After being found not guilty by reason of self defence he kept that friendship with the sheriff and ended up meeting and marrying the sheriffs sister. That in turn created the only possible series of events that could have lead to my grandfather being born ( and by extension myself ) my grandfather during WW2 saved a family of Jews and got them to safety. In the Bible Joseph’s brothers piloted to kill him but sold him to slavery instead. Years later Joseph has become the second most powerful person in the world in that time. And his brothers were starving due to famine . When Joseph reviled himself time them they were terrified of what he would do. He basically said “ what you planned for evil God planned for good” Evil doesn’t disprove God.

Greg Smith Amen to that!

@GTA GALAXY I bet you spend your entire time wokring and making money to feed yourself and your family. How about you go and donate all the money that you have and give to the poor like Jesus told you to do? He said sell all that you have and love GOd and love everyone as you would love yourself. Give everything that you have to the poor. Got put us to help each other and love. But people like you don't do this.

Thank you for that. I've never really done that.

Yeah. J. Warner Wallace had a similar experience. His wife became a Christian and he, at around 35 years of age, being an atheist, sought to prove Christianity false, so he studied up on it but eventually became convinced that it was all true through the evidence. He's a homicide detective, he knows firsthand eye witness accounts when he sees them, and the gospels range true to him, even when other skeptics claim they "contradict each other," he was not seeing that because he always deals with eye witnesses at crime scenes and each have slightly different stories due to seeing the event from different angles. His RU-vid channel is *Cold Case Christianity* - he's written a few books, too.

@@Harpazo_to_Yeshua These stories are the substance of the Kingdom. If anybody wants proof of God's love for us, this is it! Thank you once again!

@@Harpazo_to_Yeshua So, what was the evidence?

We? You speak like you're better than others in your special club.

@@cincin4515 No, not at all. That is the point. We are no better than anyone else. We all sin and fall short. God loves us all the same but He gives us a choice of whether to follow him or not. To follow the Lord is to humble one's self. God Bless you. I truly mean it.

Flavius josèphe historien juif du 1er siècle Livre Antiquités judaïques « En ce temps-là paraît Jésus, un homme sage, [si toutefois il faut l'appeler un homme, car] ; c'était un faiseur de prodiges, un maître des gens qui recevaient avec joie la vérité.

Do not grow weary in your prayers for your family. I am in the same boat. The word says the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous availth much. God hears your prayer! 💜

Mark and Breona... room for more in your boat? I have read how long St Monica Prayed for her son Augustine ! Our loved ones are just as valuable to God and He wants them too. St Luke(10?) says never stop pestering. Lets hang in there!

It saddens me feeling like my partner will never know the love of Jesus. How do I grow in faith and also keep my relationship with my faithless fiancé strong? Seems impossible. I’ll pray for your family too.

@1 K thank you so much. I’m praying for your husband and daughter as well. Our prayers are so effective & I believe that Jesus is going to overwhelm your family & bring y’all closer to Him, and each other, than ever. ♥️ Keep the faith Ma.

@@burdeo2313 Thank you so much for your prayers. I’m praying for you and your fiancé as well. I know it is extremely difficult. I believe our prayers are extremely effective. God seriously moves when we are praying in faith and when we are acting as Christlike as possible. When we are the example of love, compassion and kindness, it draws people in. I wouldn’t give up, but keep praying as much as possible that Jesus overwhelms your fiancé and softens his heart, relentlessly pursues your fiancé and sends workers across his path, that will be able to speak to his heart, in a way that no one else can. I’ve found that getting out of myself and praying before responding, or making decisions & exercising patience and love has made quite a difference in drawing my husband and son to Christ. Because I’ve clearly stated that I cannot on my own be patient, loving, gentle and kind, but it is Jesus Christ working through me. I’ve also prayed for my husband to get signs that only he would understand and would know they’re coming from God, then I told him to pay attention and he admitted to me that he has seen God changing his situation at work, and only God could be responsible. I’m telling you that to encourage you. Because Jesus will move Heaven and Earth, and leave the 99 to go get that one lost sheep 🥺♥️ Just amazing!! Plus, the more of us in prayer for each other, will make such a difference as well. God loves us more than we can even begin to imagine. So I know, I believe and am so sure, that our prayers Will be answered. 😊 It’s up to your fiancé to accept and invite Jesus Christ into his heart, but only Jesus can set the stage and the right circumstances....and He will. We must believe, believe, believe. Numerous times in the Bible Jesus said “your Faith has made you whole” or “because of your Faith.” Since He never changes, I know that our Faith will make all the difference. I’m so sorry to write you a book Miss Bri. I just want you to know that I’m sincerely praying for y’all and want to remind you that God can overwhelm the heart like no one can. What we must do is draw as near to Jesus Christ as possible. Read the word as much as possible, pray without ceasing, and then BE the example. We’re never going to be perfect on Earth, but we can make a huge difference simply by being the best example of Christ as we can. Don’t forget, expect a miracle!! Do you really, truly believe the word of God? Yes!! I know you do, so you really must believe with every fiber of your being that God is going to do His part! ❤️ 🤗 He loves your fiancé more than you do 😉 He’s got this!! I love you my Sister in Christ.
