Honestly, one of the greatest reasons that won me over as a skeptical scientist was the historicity and reliability of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By all signs of historical criteria like multiple attestation and eyewitness testimony, the criterion of embarrassment, lack of legendary elements, textual overlap with independent ancient Jewish historians, presence of early oral creeds, etc. all testify that Jesus Christ was an actual person, a Jew, who lived in Galilee, had followers and was crucified (which is the scholarly consensus), as well as the discovery of an empty tomb by women followed by post-crucifixion appearances. It’s enough to make even honest skeptical scholars hesitate on an inward breath. Edit: I'll just leave the following quote here: "According to Jacob Kremer, a New Testament critic who has specialized in the study of the resurrection: 'By far most exegetes hold firmly to the reliability of the biblical statements about the empty tomb.' In fact in a bibliographical survey of over 2,200 publications on the resurrection in English, French and German since 1975, Habermas found that 75 percent of scholars accepted the historicity of the discovery of Jesus' empty tomb."

Wow, well said. Another point that really seals it for me is the simple necessity of a tangible, historical basis for faith. Any philosophy or religion can claim whatever it wants, and in some cases, these belief systems are very sound, logical, and appealing. But even if everything that Mohammed said, for example, was completely true, so what? How would we know? If God wanted to speak to us, he would do so definitively - in a way that can’t be mistaken

Except there is no multiple attestation or eyewitness testimony - the gospels were written by Greek speaking non-eyewitnesses decades after the supposed events, there are plenty of legendary elements between the gospels, oral creeds only state what some believed, crucifixion victims were almost always left to rot as part of the punishment, and there is no contemporary extra-biblical corroboration for these supposed events. The case is so weak historically speaking, there's no reason to even blink, much less take a deep breath.

I always say, from a secular worldview, the Bible should not even exist applying a rationalist perspective. Almost nothing about the Bible is pretty, and it is often very discomforting. And yet here we have it today. Purely from a point of view of the OT, the prophecies written should not exist if they are fraudulent writings. You don't write prophetic books after bad events have come over your people and write to say that you warned them in advance but they just didn't listen. That makes your people, what are supposed to be God's chosen people, out to be a bunch of idiots. Prophecy is prophecy, you don't create false prophecy and tarnish the image of your people claiming it to be prophecy when it wasn't. Nor would it be canonically accepted.

Let me share the reasons: Where are those 500 who *Paul claimed* saw him then ?? Claiming something is easy, what are their names, where is their testimony?? In Mark's gospel - Where is that young man who sat on the right that saw him go up his father and who told the women that JC will meet his disciples in Galilee? When it is known to be fact the last 9 verses were added later ! See how Mark really ended his story: *Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.* Mark did not write anything regarding the resurrection other than what that man said. Or is it like in Matthew that says that there was an earthshake and the angel rolled the stone, sat on it said that JC will meet them in Galilee, only Jesus appears to the women on their way back and later *he appears to his disciples in Galilee.* Or is it like in Luke when the women came to the grave and it was already open, but empty. And the women saw two people (angels) who had told them he had risen. And JC revealed himself to just two, on the road to Emmaus, who didn't even know it was him until they did, who returned to Jerusalem and told the 11, and then JC appeared to the disciples. *So they didn't go to Galilee.* In John's gospel: Where it was only Mary who came to the tomb, she saw no one ! and had no encounter with JC, called two disciples, and only after they saw the tomb was really empty she got inside and saw two angels, turned around, she saw someone who she didn't even recognize was JC, *JC appeared to them in Jerusalem and then later in Galilee as well.* You really want me to draw a logical conclusion from these fairytale inconsistent stories that he resurrected ??

Great content.

Thank you again for a heavenly curation. 🙏🙏

God bless you brother 🙏

A little note - it’s not so much a belief changed their character after resurrection as much as Holy Spirit, whom Christ sent to them, just as promised. Thank you Holy Spirit for your guidance and protection, thank you for lifting the weight of this world off our shoulders, thank for revealing to us our true Lord and Savior! ❤

It's interesting when you think about this. God the father was the main force in old testament enacting the will of God. Jesus was the second. And Jesus couldn't spread the Holy Spirit if he remained on the earth.

I'm grateful for you!

In the Roman Catholic Church... We have intimate conversations with God called " Mental Prayer ", we not only listen to God but we gaze upon His Face. Or better yet, we let God gaze upon us; we receive and bask in His gaze: We spend quite time basking in Jesus' gaze, aware of the healing, purifying & transforming power of the Holy Face of Jesus :

Whatever your thang is, it certainly seems to call for a vivid imagination and extreme sycophancy, but your faith in words is a little troubling.

Great video, and much needed by me today. Thank you!

Amen borhers! It's so encouraging to be reminded of this!

LOVE this one.❤

Also the believers that Jesus had risen would face persecution and such from the Romans so them sticking to a belief that endangered them shows that their test in faith was strong enough that even certain death wasn’t going ti change their following. That says a lot about what Jesus did and how He impacted the ancient world. There are powers beyond our understanding and it is always there to seek after and to enlighten us in our world

Roman's created the myth of Jesus being supernatural. So they would have done anything to promote that belief. It was a great way to control the population.

Great podcast. Keep it up. God bless.

Great video and commentary. Appreciate your channel.

What transformed the movement was what occurred on the Day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit changed the hearts of all present, converting them to the truth (as Jesus intstructed Peter, "When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren"). The Apostles we see healing the lame man on the steps of the temple are much changed from the weak, unsure men of just a few months prior. No amount of rational persuasion can replicate the influence of the baptism of fire.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the way the truth and the light Godbless

That is a mistranslation of a misinterpretation, but perhaps that is to subtle for some

Truth so well expressed! This a great example of being prepared to give a reason for one’s hope in Jesus but doing it gently (with civility).

It never ceases to amaze me how so many people insist on misreading the Bible and twist the text so that it tells them what they WANT to believe, rather than what it actually says. And to make matters worse, these misreadings and misunderstandings have become so entrenched and accepted in mainstream thoughts, that if anyone disagrees with them, they are considered to be a heretic. God did not become a man and die on a cross; GOD CANNOT DIE, a MAN died on the cross and God resurrected him on the third day. THAT is what's written and THAT is what happened. Is the truth not good enough, why does it have to be changed into a fairytale? *Read what's written, NOT what you THINK is written.*

God bless the truth tellers and don't give up! The world needs our voices to unite in amplitude to battle all the nonsense amongst US 🙏✝️💪🫵❤️

What an amazing Truth. I feel for those who still do not believe in our Lord and Saviour. These incredible facts that have been so beautifully pointed out make so much sense. It gives me the greatest joy knowing my God, through Jesus Christ my Saviour. I wish sceptics would wake up and come into the Light. Thank you once again for a fantastic video.❤

Something similar was said by Thomas Merton regarding the emergence from the Dark Ages and the rise of the High Middle Ages. "When the dregs of the world had collected in Western Europe, when Goth and Frank and Norman and Lombard had mingled with the rot of old Rome, to form a patchwork of hybrid races, all of them notable for ferocity, hatred, stupidity, craftiness, lust and brutality, - how did it happen that from all this, there should come Gregorian chant, monasteries and cathedrals, the poems of Prudentius, the commentaries and histories of Bede, the Moralia of Gregory the Great, St. Augustine's City of God, the writings of St. Anselm.....etc."

Thanks for this wonderful presentation! Happy Easter!

Like many, I came to Christ while hitting a low point in my life over 30 years ago. I had the born-again experience that was overwhelming, so I knew without a doubt that God was real. Like most new Christians, I still had lots of doubts, but all of that went away with a few discoveries that were unveiled to me. The first one I learned sealed the deal. It was the code hidden in Genesis 5. Genesis 5 is a chapter that is usually skipped by most Bible readers. It is a genealogy from Adam to Noah. For those that are not familiar with it, you have to know what the meanings of the Hebrew names are. Each name has a meaning, and the list of names has a hidden message. That hidden message is the Gospel. The reason this is a slam dunk is because the Hebrew scriptures had been translated to Greek a full 300 years before the time of Jesus. You cannot call this a coincidence. You also would have a hard time making the case that Moses colluded to place the Christian Gospel in the first book of the Old Testament. This is what you call the fingerprints of God on the Biblical text. There are many other micro and macro codes within the Biblical text that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is a message from our creator outside the domains of time and space.

The Jews whose Bible that is, says there is no hidden code. I think we read into things what we want them to mean. and if you're not reading in Hebrew none of it matters anyway. the code must be present in the language the text was originally written in. Not English.

Thank You for such high quality content, I really love this channel 🙏

So well presented. Thanks for posting 🙌🏼😇

Interesting and informative session, also having some answers to Christian and non Christians skeptics and critics. Another addition to this is the fact they believed in him unto very excruciating death; some crucified, some stoned, maimed etc which is strongly out of human characteristics to diberaberately put themselves in harms way. The death of our Lord Jesus Christ would have discouraged them or make them more mindful but they became stronge, even challenging the the belief and practice of Judaism and also travelling all over the world undermining the risks, likes of Apostle Paul etc Other sects before them or after has fizzled out. The name of Jesus Christ is doing great wonders, miracles and supernatural happenings all over the world since then and still counting per seconds. So many scientific discoveries today are corellating daily discoveries with what was written or spoken by Jesus Christ thousands of years ago in the bible. The listings are endless. To this end, God is not a man he should lie and His ways are not our ways, all we need to do is fulfilling His Will and Purpose for us, , worship him for no man can phantom Him because He is Almighty Father, uncreated and unsearchable. Stay blessed 🙏✌

Thank you so much man🙌

❤thank you so so much

A wonderfully eloquent & articulate analyis of why Christ 'became' what He did throughout the millenia to this day. A resolute rebutall of the ludicrous assertions of anti-theists to His existence & resurrection. Something I ve argued but with less eloquence & articulation! 👏👏👏👏

Regarding this topic, I have always loved that when Paul was giving his defence and belief in the resurrection before Herod Agrippa II (the grandson of Herod Antipas who was involved in Jesus crucifixion), he said "For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner." (Acts 26:26) Quite literally, Paul was saying to a Roman official in a legally binding capital punishment defense that he expected that the judging party had knowledge regarding the veracity of the resurrection. It just shows that resurrection was incredibly public as "this thing was not done in the corner."

I love how they established that people living in the 1st Century AD didn't walk around as simpletons. It's the arrogance of modern society to patronise the experiences of these people, assuming that events were understood through a series of fairytales.

They were unbelievably gullible in the 1st century CE.. So are most evangelical Americans today. Living in southern Canada is like living above a holy roller tent meeting, complete with snake handling and poison drinking. Luckily evangelicals are only 8-10% of the Canadian population, too spread out to have political power, and as in America, declining because of increased education standards.
