The Case for Christ explained in 16 minutes

Lee Strobel, a former atheist turned Christian who wrote the book The Case for Christ, shares how he went from skeptic to believer. This 16-minute explanation explores the truth he uncovered about the resurrection, the gospel accounts, and the controversies he had to overcome to support the evidence for Christ and make a case for the foundational belief in Christianity.

I am glad you saw this truth I am very glad. If you knew how much I desire that the house of Isra'el gets to know the truth of their saviour, that it was Yehoshua whom they had crucified with their own hands. If indeed they know this truth, and accept it, the blood of the saviour which indeed they claimed to be upon them, will really be upon them, but this time not unto judgement/condemnation, but unto salvation and redemption; which indeed Yehoshua came for. I imagined most of the time as the Apostle Paul wrote, that if the downfall of the Jews brought about the salvation of the Gentiles, how much more will their rising be? Indeed it will be even as potent as the resurrection of the dead. I long for the days of the rising and the recognition of the house of Isra'el unto their saviour and our saviour Yehoshua ha Mashiyach. Shalom. 🤍

I’m Jewish as well with modern orthodox leanings and I find it to be interesting that in Torah in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 24:16 it teaches that a man may not be put to death for the sin of another man so how can Mashiach be a human sacrifice sin offering dying for sinful humanity? Not only that but repeatedly in the servant songs in Yeshayahu (Isaiah) chapters 41 to 55 HaShem calls Israel his servant so how can Isaiah 53 be about Mashiach when Israel is the servant of HaShem and it’s about the suffering servant? In the Hebrew it even says in Isaiah 53 ‘’nega lamo’’ meaning ‘’a blow to us’’

@SPL0869 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 You've already stated you have a concept of the difference between right and wrong. May I ask where you acquired it? Could it have been your Judeo-Christian upbringing that familiarized you with the Ten Commandents or the final two divine Commandements of Yeshua, "to love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself." One can not keep these two commandments without obeying the first ten. "Train up a child in the ways he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it."-Proverbs 22:6 If this is the case maybe like me the Lord will bless you with the years to outgrow your faithlessness. Or He may have hardened you heart that you will never seek His grace, forgiveness and salvation. That is not for me to say but between you and your Lord. I pray that if this is the case, He softens your spirit and brings you back to the fold through His Immaculate Heart and the redemption of His grace.

[@pepethunder]

The part I find very interesting was the suffering of the witnesses. Today we have people wondering why God would allow suffering in the world if He is so loving, and yet if these people didnt suffer for God we would not have this solid historic foundation for Jesus resurrection. God works through pain, and not all pain is bad. This is hard to understand for those who think only pleasure can be good. Pain can make us grow strong and in God’s hand it can be a blessing. It’s not all about us personally, we must think of how our trials can benefit others. Love God above all else and our neighbor as ourselves.

[@shwanjalal8709]

You say not all pain is bad. And that god works through pain. Nobody thank god for cancer otherwise we wouldnt have cancer research. Nobody says thank god for racism otherwise we wouldnt have had MLK. Nobody says thank god for hitler otherwise we wouldn’t know totalitarian governments dont work well. Nobody says thank god for all the hundreds of millions of people who have died because of war, mostly in the name of god ofc, otherwise we wouldn’t have peace. Nobody says thank god for illness, disease, and sickness otherwise we wouldn’t have doctors. Nobody says thank god for depression otherwise we wouldn’t have therapy. Nobody says thank god for rapists, murderers, and thieves otherwise we wouldn’t have prisons. Nobody says thank god for the killing of thousands of native Americans through manifest destiny otherwise we wouldn’t have 50 states in the US. Im not saying these things to bash you, Im sure you have good intentions. However if you were in Palestine right now and your kids died because of war due to human greed, you would have a very different opinion about god buddy. Your god allows so much suffering in this world for no reason, and its up to us, as good humans to clean up after the suffering that the so called “all loving and all powerful god” allows to happen in this world.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Go tell that to the children suffering on a cancer ward, who will spend their short time being alive in pain then die. You obviously haven't thought about your words enough

[@shwanjalal8709]

And there it is. The most obvious point of them all. We fear death and would love the idea that it is not the end. No I would never do such thing, infact, if i was at a childrens cancer ward i would tell them that they will go to heaven and be happy in paradise. Because i would rather lie and have them be happy in their last moments than be sad. But Im telling yall this because I would hope, presumably that yall are adults, that you can take a hit of reality better than a 6 year old child with cancer. So I have chosen my words not only carefully, but also towards an appropriate audience. And I say all of this with nothing but love in my heart for people, because we all deserve truth and we deserve to truly appreciate every living moment that we have.

[@ken-my5io]

We are the reason for suffering, not God. Maybe you should read the Bible, or just read with an open heart and stop looking for negative replies to post? Better yet, ask God to help you understand.

I constantly feel the urge to doubt Jesus, yet I'm overwhelmed by this intense fear that I might be wrong. The dread of not believing shakes me to my core, like something deep down is insisting that I'm mistaken. Even when it comes to discrediting the existence of Apostle Paul, it's something I find hard to reconcile. There's just an abundance of evidence supporting the fact that this guy lived and became a Christian. Numerous non-biblical sources vouch for him. If you can entertain doubts about Jesus, questioning Paul becomes nearly impossible. I mean, the guy is backed by a wealth of non-biblical information, and it's just too challenging to dismiss the overwhelming evidence. It might be hard to believe, but Jesus is real. If you discredit Him, you'd have to dismiss the entire history of His apostles and all non-biblical accounts related to each one of them, which is utterly impossible.

Every time I ask for a demonstration(using your own verses), I get excuses about “context” much like what you’re trying to give right now.

@@SPL0869 Hello, and thanks for your reply. Why would you ask me to do it? The actual miracle works come from God. In the bible, there are examples of God giving man access to those abilities. But the ownership of those comes from God. Miracles are still happening in the world. However, they're not making mainstream news. Therefore, if God gives you or me the ability (calls us to do it), yes, we would be able to walk in there and do it. God has a divine order. Although He can do any and everything, there has to be a process and a purpose. Everything God created or that's involved with God's divine nature and order, has a process and a purpose. This means that some things will happen or not happen. Miracles are interjected within the process and or for the purpose of... The Bible teaches various types of miracles. Some received immediate miracles, others suffered many years before receiving their miracles, and for some, Jesus said, "Don't tell anyone." You can ask God for those abilities. Just know that it will be for a purpose and you'll go through a process. Luke 12:47-48, "...much is given, much is required..."

Many unbelievers were once believers. I was one of them, although never a fervent evangelical. If you dig down through all of the hyperbole of Strobel here, there is not much that really stands up to proper investigation. The thing that never ceases to amaze me are the huge doctrinal and theological differences between various Christians, many extremely contradictory. It's sometimes difficult to define exactly what Christians actually believe. The one thing they all have in common is that they all think that they are right and the others are wrong. Interesting that Strobel states that there is no such thing as a mass hallucination. Why has he never heard of the Miracle of Fatima from 1917, and a number of other examples. Whatever, your opinion on what these groups of people actually saw, it certainly does not support Strobel's assertions. Interesting that the psychologist that he consulted about group hallucinations, first gives a supposedly professional opinion, and in the next breath is preaching about Paul's claim that 500 saw the risen Jesus. The odour of a rodent doth tickle mine nostrils, methinks.

Jesus and his disciples worshipped he God of israel, the God of the Bible. Jesus himself tells us that he has a God. The resurrected Jesus has a God. (JOhn 20 :17). The glorified Jesus in heaven itself, still has a God. (Re 3 :12). Hundreds of times in the NT Jesus is differentiated from God. . He is resurrected from the dead by God. (Acts 2 :24, 32). He is made both Lord and Christ by God. (Acts 2 : 36). He is given or granted all autority by God. (John 5 :27) The Son did not always p;ossess life in imself but it was gramted to him (John 5 :26) The evidence is overwhelming : The claim of the gospels is : Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This claim makes him one other than God.

Yes, you established that Jesus is the second of the Trinity, and He is the Son Of God , but the Bible also He WAS God . This is one of the core tenets of Christianity ( I’m not sure if you were aware of that) Jesus’disciples asked Him to show them the Father. He declared “ Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father “ - John 14:9 on another occasion Jesus said “ I and the Father are ONE “-John 10:30 . Yes, Jesus was both Full God and

And Fully Man( continued from previous post) , because of this He alone has the authority to be our Savior and to forgive our sins. Now go to the Gospel of John. . Chapter one verse one “ In the Beginning was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and the WORD WAS God . But who WAS the Word? Look at verse 14 of chapter one. Jesus was the WORD. (14) The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us . Verse one clearly tells us that the Word was God. We’ve established that Jesus was the Word so we can therefore correctly say “ Jesus IS God “ Now look at Joh 10:30 again “ I and my Father are one “ (verse 31) Then the Jews took stones again to stone Him.(32) and Jesus answered them ; “ I have shown you many great works and miracles from the Father, for which of these do you stone me .(33) we are not stoning you for any of these replied the Jews, But for Blasphemy, because you, a mere man , claim to be God “ did you get that? Let me ask you a question. What was the official charge against Jesus? Why did they want to kill him ? It was Blasphemy- claiming to be God , that was not only a serious sin( one of the worst if not THE worst sin for a Jew) and a crime punishable by death.. so yes Jesus did claim to be God . There are a lot of other verses that say Jesus referred to himself as God but for the sake of time I will have to post them later because I have to go now . Take care and God bless you .

@@danielfortonforton223 : The Trinity is a post-apostolic teaching that did not take its final form for hundreds of years. Many standard reference works freely admit this. The gospels claim that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This actually makes him one other than God. Jesus is differentiated from God hundreds of times in the NT. John 14 :9 shoukld be understood in the context of the NT. Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. and is desribed as 'the image of God (Col 1 :15; Heb 1 :3). However, being the image of God or a reflection of God does not make him God, rather a representation. He is certainly NOT the Father in Trinitarian understanding. Likewise, he is 'One' with the father in exactly the same way as the disciples are (John 17 :21-23)

Prayer has been studied many times and the results are that it works at the same statistical rate as pure chance. But don't just take my word for it go do some research on the statistics of prayer yourself. If you pray to the half empty milk carton in your fridge it remarkably answers prayers at the same statistical rate as God. Try it, test it yourself. Sometimes the milk carton appears to have answered your prayer Sometimes it's unclear And sometimes it doesn't. Half empty milk cartons work in mysterious ways, but if you have faith that the carton always knows what's best even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it at the time, you'll be just fine. We may not always agree with the milk carton answer but it has its reasons and you just can't see its master plan with your tiny human limited brain. Keep the faith in that carton, it'll all make sense, it'll all be explained one day. (when you're dead and brain no longer functions 😂)

Yes, there are no eyewitness accounts, nor are there any contemparenous accounts of Jesus. Apologists are just being disingenuous or ignorant. The earliest Christian document known to us is Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, from around 50AD. He makes no reference to the details of the resurrection (tomb etc). Paul makes that spurious "500 witnesses" claim found nowhere else, and he doesn't say who any of these people were, or where they allegedly saw Jesus. But apologists misunderstand scripture. They think it deals with historical facts. It doesn't, especially the gospels and Paul's letters. They are preaching tools for early Christians. They deal with meaning more than fact. In fact, apologists belittle these works by literalising them, and alleging they are factual; the authors would not have meant them to be. It's not how ancient writers worked.

I can still see this and a lot of people think I wanted to see Him so bad, that my mind made me see Him. Nope, I will still say I seen Him. 🙏

I agree. It is so sad to see those who have no faith but who comment negatively against our Saviour. They are clearly blinded to the faith but must be searching, otherwise why even bother commenting. I pray for all the lost that they may come to know God's glory.

[@UHPhilipA]

Wasn’t it Thomas that was the skeptic that had to put his hands in Jesus’ crucifixion wounds to believe? And when he did he was no longer a skeptic? That there shows me it wasn’t a vision nor a hallucination. Especially when others were around to witness this interaction.

[@slik00silk84]

If that happened . . . why is it that none of the 3 earlier gospels mention it? They don't even mention a spear thrust in the side. Very remarkable that Luke, supposedly a physician, didn't say something about it!!!!! What it looks like was that there were a lot of skeptics about Jesus dying on the cross. They knew that crucifixion victims usually took days to die . . . and Jesus dies after only some 6 hours??? A fishy story indeed ! ! ! So . . . one of the writers of JOHN invented the story to try and quiet the doubters.

[@andruid5054]

Tascitus wasn't even born until 20 years after the supposed resurrection, so how did he know?, someone who's dad knew someone who was there?, No one mentioned Jesus at all until after his death, the Gospels were written at least 25 years after the event by authors unknown.

"Doubts directed toward Jesus instead of in isolation." I've heard Lee's dissertation on this topic, but not with this preacher, and that phrase really hit me hard. Can anyone explain that? I don't fully understand what he means. Does he mean that if you have doubts of any sort to direct them at Jesus versus letting them fester in your mind while avoiding Jesus? Ok, I just answered my own question, I just had to type that out. I feel inclined to backspace this comment, but that was a pretty important piece of information for people like me that are riddled with doubt. I think that's fading in me though, either way I shall direct my doubts at Jesus from now on. Who is that preacher?

[@Sagittarius-81]

Jesus said, "If your leaders tell you, 'Look, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they tell you, 'It's in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and outside of you. "When you know yourselves, then you'll be known, and you'll realize that you're the children of the living Father.

[@vickiistre6155]

I read one of Lee’s books regarding why the tomb was found empty. When the Roman soldiers were tasked with guarding the tomb, they knew that if they fell asleep, or failed in their assignment in any way, the penalty was death. Basically they guarded the tomb with their very lives. They would not have allowed anyone to steal Jesus’ body, not the disciples or anyone else, or they would be executed. So who moved the stone in front of the grave without the Roman guards seeing it happen? It had to be the resurrection.

[@slik00silk84]

LOL Its just a contrived story. The fact is that crucified men were left to rot on the cross as a warning to other would be wrong doers. Then, whatever remained after the scavengers were done, was thrown in a common ditch grave. If Jesus actually rose from the grave , , , then why didn't he proclaim himself to the Romans and the Jewish leaders to show his power . . . rather then slinking back to Galilee like a coward?
