Why you can believe the Bible - Voddie Baucham 

I was born and bred a Catholic. Went to 12 years of Catholic school. My B.A. Is from a Catholic college. As a young woman I became a nun and lived the life of a good nun for 12 years. One day I read 2 Peter 1:16 my life changed. I became born again, regenerated. I am a sinner who, by no power of my own, is saved by Grace alone. Hallelujah!

Struggled years with addiction, having bouts of sobriety thru 12 step programs, but the demons never completely left me, they always returned worse than before. I only believed in a " Higher Power" that Voddie touched on in his presentation. It wasn't until a friend who was a believer had me over one night and asked if I'd sit for an hour and watch a message on RU-vid with him. That message was this video. I remember Voddie reading Psalm 22 and the tears began to roll down my face, it was that night I got on my knees and asked Jesus into my life. I can report that the demons are gone and I'm finally a free man. It wasn't that I had a meth or porn problem, all along I had a Jesus problem. But because of Him I'm no longer a slave to meth and porn. God is good ALL THE TIME.

I love this pastor he doesn't sugarcoat nothing comes straight with scripture bless his man God and keep him doing your work Godspeed

This is GOLD! It took me about 3 hours to watch a 57-minute video. Pause, rewind, take notes, go through the scriptures and their references, and like that until the video finished. In the end, I was still hungry for more. 🥹👏🏾💯🔥 May the Lord God keep blessing Voddie Baucham.

I stumbled across your video today. I am a struggling Christian. Fell away for awhile. I never knew the meaning behind why Jesus said "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me" I immediately started crying after you showed where it came from Psalm 22. Thank you for sharing this. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I believe it was Jesus proclaiming himself before me by putting this video in front of me today. I am a Sinner, but most of all I am a Believer that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. He is The Way, The Life, and The Truth. Thank your for sharing this video.

The BEST answer I've heard yet! Why do I believe the Bible? "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable source of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin."

This guy knows how to break it down and build your bible confidence in less than one hour! You can't help but be a fan!

I actually woke up from a dream saying, "It's a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses..." 🤣😂

Thank-you Lord God for giving us our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank-you and thank-you and thank-you. Also thank-you for your preachers and teachers.

Voddie is such a Blessing to the body of Christ.

I like how you said,let the lion out,and he can defend himself

What is so nice about him, is that he gives data. 25,000 archaeological discoveries and 6,000 manuscripts of the New Testament; it can't get any better than that. In my 44 years as a Christian, I have never seen ANYONE GIVE DATA like HIM! It is well-needed.

This sermon is one of the few things keeping me sane. I have been dealing with many doubtful intrusive thoughts and this video is helping me fight those thoughts and not doubt God or the Bible. I am going to continue going through the motions and trusting God. He has a plan for me and I will be able to use this pain to help others. I belive Jesus died on the cross for my sins and I am saved. I love the evidence he gives to make us belive even more.

Thank the Orthodox Church for giving us the canon of scriptures

Wow! This is a must warch for any christian or even any person who doubts the authority of the Bible. This is not the first time I hear all of these but the first time it is so well articulated. Thank Pr. Voddie.

Since watching the first video by Voddie Bauchum, my life has never been the same. Thank you Jesus.

Was born again 10 years at the age of 64. Amazing grace ! I was a religious person all the years since 76. Youth director in 2 church's. Associate pastor in 2 churches.THEN GOD, led 2 born again couples into our lives. They were attending a new church, reformed theology, of which I was not familiar with. As I read books they lent me, I at first, resented what biblical truths I was reading, because I didn't realize that my wife and I were Armenians. GOD'S GRACE WAS GIVEN, WITH FAITH AND HE CAUSED ME TO BE BORN-AGAIN !! This new life is amazing. Don McClain

I can't put into words how happy I am that I found this sermon.

Love this great preacher! How blessed are we to have such a wonderful expositor in our midst?! Thank you brother Voddie!

There is a special light on Dr Voddie and I'm glad I have had to opportunity to have found a man that speaks my intellect and love for God. Thank you Lord for directing me to him and that I can learn more of the love you have for mankind

I just prayed today for God to forgive me of doubts I had, and I asked Him to help me believe more. This video showed up on my suggested tonight. Praise God! He is amazing ✝️♥️

This is the most specific explanation i have ever heard, so good sir. Thank you 🥰🙏

I just wrote down so much of this and you better believe I'm emplementing it for soul winning! Great teaching! Thank Lord God Almighty for this message!

I like the style of this guy's preaching along with John MacArthur.

What a blessing to run across Pastor Baucham. What a gift for communicating truth. "You don't defend a lion, you just let him loose to defend himself." -- Voddie Baucham. Beautiful!

Good lord. If yall are not literally thanking Jesus after this man's prefect delivery of a topic that is usually so difficult to explain to someone who doesn't believe, bc I have never been equipped until now..this.. YALL I AM FIRED UP TO SPREAD THIS message. TO INTENTIONALLY BRING UP THE SUBJECT SO WE CAN GET MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT JESUS STARTED. in hopes to help out even one single person who is lost. We'll said . BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED. Thank you

So fantastic, thankyou Voddie. This video is still a blessing 9 years later

Where have this man been all my life. He’s an excellent teacher and speaker and have extended knowledge and raises great arguments and facts. Thank you thank you thank you. Your teachings are so needed in this time as such.

Thank you so much for this, please pray for my husband and children, that they would come to know Jesus. Thank you!

This is one of the most powerful Bible studies I have ever heard.

Wow. Love this teaching. I needed this because I fail every time someone asks me about the authority of the Bible. I am so glad the Lord sent this teaching to me.

God bless all of you brothers and sisters in the Lord! I love you all, always pray for your families and those who aren’t saved!

Voddie is big time on point, apologetics is almost as big as evangelizing, giving an answer.

This is very, very, very intense and profound. I have to listen to this again and again. As a Christian I've had a persistent question "am I sure the Bible is the Gold standard ". This is a blessing from God. This is his 3rd video that Ive listened to--all accidentally. I'm reciting over and "A reliable collection of historical docs...."

Oh! I just found my new teacher.. to God be the glory Thank you Dr Voddie

Mr Voddie Bauchman is a true man of God. I have learned so much by his teaching of the Bible and not his words, but God's. He is a blessing.

My class watched this, and we are doing a project on why we can trust the bible God bless you

I dont have a church eight now during COVID19 and Voddie Bachman has been serving me like no other! GOD IS AWESOME

WOW...the Lord is with this man

1 year later and I'm still sending links out! Share this during your online witness!

Amen❤️...just found this man of God and my spirit has been refreshed 🙏🏾...Jesus is Lord ☺️

I discovered Voddie via his essay in The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World. Such a gifted teacher. His essay is my favorite part of that book.

This MAN is so intelligent ❤

Last night was the first time I heard of Mr. Baucham. New favorite! This man is incredibly articulate. Hearing the Bible in such a straightforward way give me goosebumps. God is good! Hope you all have a great day.

Amen. How the Lord is using you Voddie. I would hate to even step on your toes. Knowing how much the Lord love you. God bless you and your family.

Wow Mr. Baucham I absolutely learned so much from your content. Thank you sir. GOD bless and keep you and your family safe and healthy.

I have listened to this preaching three times, because I have never been able to "hold on to" all the intricacies Voddie so easily espouses, and so rationally defines as "evidence, beyond doubt". I've been saved since 83, and at sixty four, continue to learn to lean into my faith, constantly. "I am a man of science", and everything I've seen, every gospel I've heard, meets the burden of "evidence". I entered into electronics at seven, chemistry shortly after, biology as well, I've studied the sciences all my life, and they do very well to explain "how God's Creation functions", within this closed sphere we call "earth". I find it truly incredible, the vast majority of physicists, will lay claim to the fact, "matter pops in and out of existence, randomly, in the middle of space, nothing", and they see no magic, no miracle, it's simply a "phenomenon they've not yet explained with facts, yet we believe it's a matter of random activity, something can pop out of nothing, because its antithesis, "equal existence" can also pop in and out of existence, thereby "balancing the equation to nothing, zero". Science is a wonder-filled art. it allows us to understand the mechanical workings of "matter, energy, light, entropy" but it is entirely man-made, or "man's observations", there is no epiphany, there is absolutely nothing present for science, that isn't present for the Bible, as so aptly demonstrated with such undeniable accuracy. I believe in science, because it explains how I see things. Ordinary, regular, earthly things, that exist before my very eyes. To this date, there isn't the least understanding of memory, person, personality, our very awareness, while many have stated over the past century to have an exact understanding, only to be discarded out of hand, for lack of evidence. I read the Bible as a young boy, because I read a book written by a British archeologist, who chose to believe the Bible, early 19th century, and went to "The Holy Land" and proved the existence of all "the fabled cities of the Bible", providing our current knowledge of Sodom, Gomorrah, Nineveh, in the end, many archeologists have followed, and the whole of our "Bible" is well documented in archeology. "I don't follow archeology, or science in any way to prove my faith, because it can't. I follow it because it is a gift, it has meaning, and explains culture, community, and is little different all around the world. I have faith because I was troubled, and finally had to cry out for help, and got it. I share the gospel that is true, in faith, and it is received in faith, or not received. I am the least of Christians, and I need the teaching, no less than everyone else. My earthly knowledge is useful in work, sharing wealth, and living in a material world. I believe in this gift, I will also have a specific understanding of my being, when I meet my Lord and God. I have only begun to truly learn to pray, there is always more work to do in our hearts, God is patient. I am greatly blessed by this ministry. I am disabled, rarely leave my home, and I depend on "The Gospel" as it is preached, for my faith, my salvation and my strength to go forward, I couldn't do it without.

Ty for preaching and teaching TRUTH Voddie. The inerrant, infallible sufficient Word of the 1 & only True living GOD!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I’m trying to witness to my neighbor but he is a university graduate and is extremely smart and i never know exactly how to get to him. I know some basics you said here and i tried them but because he is so knowledgeable in many different things, it intimidates me. Thank you!!

This teaching has been something that I needed to hear.

Thank you, Jesus, for saving our souls from eternal hellfire. May we praise you as our one true savior. Only through faith do we reach our father.

Came across the "love and marriage" video, watched and shared with young people in my life, and I'm praying for GOD to open their hearts and minds in CHRIST JESUS!!! I've learned so much and I praise THE ALMIGHTY LORD GOD YAHWEH THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE ALONE for you Dr. Voddie and bless you brother!!!

omgosh... I LOOOVE this man of God!! TY Father for this lesson that I BELIEVE came straight to me for my younger son!! amen!

I believe because I sought after God and studied his word and the holy spirit revealed himself to me and a change came into my life that I can not deny he showed me that I needed Jesus and I excepted him he has done what my parents couldn't proved his truth to me !

Thank you Voddie. God Bless🤗😏😉💯

My teacher! You've corrected so many lies I've believed! I tell people Mr. Voddie is my online teacher! Wisdom calls out! Keep him here Lord so he can continue to teach us who seek to please You! That way we can kick butt for the Kingdom!

The mastery that comes from walking with Jesus is astounding and this is a great illustration of it.

Thank you for this video & the explanation of the topic. Powerful content

I am absolutely HONORED to be your brother in Christ!

You have such a beautiful voice take you pastor God bless

Such a helpful video! Thank you, Voddie!

I believed in "intelligent design" from my earliest childhood, a "navy brat" two years in Barcelona, two in Naples, arriving back state-side at six. I believed because the Spanish masons building the new apartment next door, believed, and explained so much to me, as a little boy, explaining the "reason" I saw. When I was in Naples, very similar, building a brick structure apartment building next door, and I've always seen "the hand of God" in nature, stone, trees, biology, everything I know of science is pointing to God. I tried to believe as a teen, but wanted my liberty more than I was willing to subdue my spirit to authority. I tried to not believe, but that was simply impossible. In 82, serving in Beirut, a Marine, I felt like God was divining me, separating me, and I was deeply afraid in my heart. I couldn't make myself bow down there, having ignored God's call, and I tried to drink it away, when I returned in spring of 83. Then I was invited to Church, and finally heard a sermon that called directly to me, in preaching on Lazarus, the visiting evangelist touched on "the faith of the centurion", and "Jesus marveled". I got saved that day, I've studied, questioned, looked all around, but never had reason to question my faith since. I've only recently come across Voddie Baucman, but have found his words true, substantial, and he knows the Word, and teaches it. I've lived around the world almost sixty years, and nothing I've ever seen, can even provide question of The Word. "The 25,000 archeological sites" has been an issue from my youth, as a British historian, took the Bible in the early 1800's, and discovered the "fabled cities of the Bible" Sodom, Gomorrah, some nine cities in a decade, demonstrating once, for all, the truth of the old testament. I saw that at about eight, one of the powerful confirmations of my "natural childhood faith". I have received strong support of the Gospel in just a few preachings from this Man of God.

This is very excellent I watch it again and again and I will watch this kind forever coz I want my bible the book of my holiday. Blessings DR

Voddie is becoming one of my favorite pastor. God Bless your work and ministry.

Just heard of Voddie , and so far what I've heard from listening to his teachings & messages, so far I have found him to be biblically correct on what I've heard at this point. Prayers for Voddie , his family & the Church too prosper abundantly in the Lord!

Wow awesome word, bless the Lord 🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is awesome. Thank you Sir. Lord bless you and keep you.

Absolutely Awesome.

Bless you Voddie! You answered so many questions of mine. Thank you Jesus Christ!

Praise our disciple Voddie Baucham is a treasure to me, especially since I'm humble without privileges most have but hearing and seeing is a divine privilege Halluea and blessings to him and family and ministry. Thank to Almighty Lord Christ Jesus. Let it known 🙌.

Great teaching, I love this.

Wow thank you so much for sharing this. I thoroughly enjoyed it❤️God bless

The Word of God is like a lion. You don’t have to defend a lion. All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself. Amen

Awesome teaching! Thank you and God bless!

This is just fascinating

I'm listening to this repeatedly until it becomes part of me and i can defend my faith. I'm filling a notebook with thoughts and snippets of this lecture. thank you for making this plain and clear.

This is the glory of the living God! He has written these things in such an incredible manner! And over such a long time! If this doesn't make you praise God, I don't know what will. Maybe Christ. Praise the Lord!!

Amazing. 2021...and still impactful truth bathed in scripture

Thank you for this ❤️✝️

Great video! Well said on a topic that is commonly brought up. I will pass this along. Thank You!

This was some GREAT teaching.

What an amazing teacher!!

I thank you Lord for bringing me here. I learn so many things in that videos. May God bless you, your whole family and your ministry Pastor!

Brilliant teaching. Thank you, and God bless.

Mr Bauchman is an angel. The way he reiterates and explains in detail is a blessing.

Thank you Voddie your a blessing. NZ Wellington Porirua loves you all. Jesus is king blessings

I bless God for this answer.

I am a non-calvinist, but I find a lot of value in Voddie's work. Specially the stuff that is current. I am glad I stumbled upon this video from 6 yrs ago, though!

Voddie preaching the Truth!!!!

This is a gift ... from a gifted gentleman

.......i'll continue to watch...been watching for years...and waiting.....I will continue to watch , closely and wait patiently..

Wow! Amazing, thank you!!!

Wow! God knows what He's doing. Not only are we without excuse because of the law written in our hearts and the declaration of the heavens and the earth of God's glory, and the incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, in this century we are really without excuse given this type of knowledge that is available regarding God's Word. This is great information. Thanks Pastor Baucham.

Excellent teaching! Thank you brother Voddie. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!🙏🙏🙏

Pastor Bauchman, Thanks for this wonderful study. May the Lord bless and affirm your ministry!

Thank you for this 🙏❤️

I love Voddie - he's such a great teacher

What an amazing teaching session. I learnt so much. This kinda teaching excites my soul. Thank you ☺️

This is the first time ever, that I gained hope from a calvinist, that even if I'm not convinced yet, I just have to focus on the light till the morningstar lights my heart.That is truly the hope that I need and I'm longing for

I was trying to understand the book of Revelation and trying to figure out what the mark of the beast was when I came across a seminar on this topic. The Seventh-day Adventists’ church is all about understanding Revelation and studying bible prophecy. I highly recommend checking it out. I learned so much. It all made sense and all the questions I had were answered.
