LEE STROBEL - The Case for Christ
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2018
- Lee Strobel spent two years of his life studying, researching, learning everything he could in order to disprove the resurrection and deity of Christ. What he found instead changed his life forever.
-
This week, Lee Strobel takes us through the four main points he found that shifted his mind and heart about the truth surrounding the resurrection of Jesus.
Having been a detective for much of my life, my story is somewhat similar to Lee's. I denied the story of Jesus and dismissed them as fairy tales. Having done investigations for 30 years, I can't help but look at the Bible and constantly be in amazement as to the truthfulness of the stories related and connected by the thread of Jesus. I thank God every day for being awakened and enjoying a relationship with Jesus. God Bless
@@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.
I was an athiest , I came to know about God's Love through Jesus . Jesus is the way truth and life.
Amen! God bless you and welcome to the family!
Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV

That's the best comment of all of UA-cam !!
I am 42 never grew up in church. I feel so blessed to have found you . Thank you I am new
I am Chinese. By the grace of God, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at age 42 20 years ago. I read the Holy Bible and pray to the Lord daily. I now have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. I will live to glorify the Lord for the rest of my life. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.
You have a hope of salvation, zero evidence of a god
I don’t need evidence he changed my life
Happy for you, keep seeking him God bless
I know God lives. Through prayer and scripture study He helped me overcome my addictions.
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.
To be alive during Jesus’ life, what a time to be alive
Abby king what a wonderful name you have...that's my daughter's name.
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
I’m sitting here on my lunch shedding a tear of joy because I remember when I received God’s forgiveness through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ three years ago. I’m so refreshed right now. I get to tell my coworkers and family about The Lord. Glory to God🙏🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥
Amen hallelujah!
Thank you for the affirmation. I have been a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ for three years , six months , ten days and aprox 18 hours. My friends who knew me made fun of me and told me I would never make it. Here I am still standing strong.
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?
This man's book, The Case for Christ, was responsible for my giving my life to Christ back in 2005. God used him to bring me and probably many others to Jesus and redemption. I loved hearing his story here and I also enjoy the movie adapted from his book.
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.

@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?

Thank you
Sawa kiwi mine wonderful news, great to hear. May God bless you and your dear family. Give all the glory to Him.
I met Lee Strobel in a prison cell 2019, well not in person, but his book "The Case for Christ" the last part of this testimony is so good, John 1:12 explains the difference between "I am a child of God" vs "I believe that I am a child of God". First round the team came around in 2018, I was not ready to be baptized, when they announced again in a Sunday service that the team will be coming around again, I put my name on the list, and got baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the yard. under water in a "build it yourself" bath/pool. I am asking God to just strengthen my faith and keep frustration at bay, I am struggling with frustration when looking at the behavior around me, I want to be a better example of Love, but don't know how.
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. ❤️
Hey Jaco, please check out once a movement of disciples called "The Last Reformation". Blessings, Lukas
My father in law who's a pastor would tell me a saying that at time I didn't understand but now I do..... ' to he whom much has been forgiven, much is expected'
It’s sick that the church preys on vulnerable people like this.
You shouldn’t have to allow men to become homeless and put in cages in order to win them into your cult as a last resort
@@isidoreaerys8745 What do you mean by that? Can you explain more of what you mean with the homeless and etc
i used to ask myself why the apostles were so committed. This video brought life to the answer. Because they witnessed a man die and come back to life. Once they seen Jesus alive again, it was over. There's no way to deny him.
That's amazing true!!! Praise ye the Lord!
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.
I think atheists and other people who have so strongly believed against Jesus and seek to disprove him God Honors that seeking and sometimes they become the best and most ardent Advocates of Christ. Thank you God for Lee's journey and his testimony you are wonderful God
That is great to look at it. Too bad the opposite can be true
I wish there was a “Love” button!
"Nothing lives up to the hype." after a life time of chasing that perfect moment, nothing ever satisfies. Indeed all is vanity.
Then I became a Christian and experienced the presence of God. I was like boy what is this rush of joy, nothing compares!!!
I have been chasing that kind of joy ever since. Just to be in His presence makes the biggest weight seem light as a feather.
U still there?
Remember friend, it’s only a taste that we get in this life- God cannot give us the joy we will have because we can’t handle it yet but thanks be to the blood of Jesus it IS coming!!
@@EtownSosa I am still chasing after the presence of Jesus. I still cannot compare it to anything experienced this life.
History Untold wish I felt how you felt
History Untold or feeling
This book "The Case for Christ", changed my life. I was a believer but it grounded me in my faith. We that believe have a faith that has a rock solid foundation. It helped me defend my faith in a more complete way.
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.
I don't recall how I came across Lee's book about 20 yrs ago. His book presented the facts that I needed to seal my faith in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. May all the glory be to GOD.
Thank you Jesus for giving yourself up for me, and my sins. No one else would do THAT for me.
Amen! Actually the Holy Spirit teach us in all (John 14), and He uses many people as Brother Lee...

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. Expect a miracle!! 💜 ♥️ 🤗 😊 🙏🏾

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.
Praise God for this. We hear lots of stories of people who grew up hearing and being exposed to Scripture and the gospel of Christ - becoming Christians themselves, which is indeed impressive in itself. But when someone who's vehemently opposed to Christ and His call upon each of our lives, actually (kicking and screaming) is 180-degree CHANGED by the power of Jesus, that is the most impactful testimonies you can ever hear. He truly does leave the 99 to save the 1. Amen and amen.

@@ramigilneas9274ok.
@@colonelpopcorn1947 Maybe give this a rewatch. This time pay careful attention to any extrabiblical evidence cited in support of the supernatural claims the Bible makes. (You'll notice that such evidence only exists for mundane, non-supernatural things like a human named Christ being crucified by the Roman government. For the _supernatural_ claims, like someone resurrecting, there's no evidence except one book (the Bible) claiming something happened.)
If all observations of reality fail to show evidence of a god, but then a single book claims otherwise, is it really reasonable to believe that one book?

I love the authentic simple message of someone hard, seeking the truth, because of a loved one. There is hope for everyone.
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 UA-cam channel is *Cold Case Christianity* - he's written a few books, too.

God is there too but you won’t see him or experience him unless you open your heart and prepare and build relationship with him. I promise you he communicates with me and my family. A few months ago I was with my 5.5 years old niece and I were in the backyard and I ran towards a small fig tree we planted and told her to follow me so I could show her something. The tree was beating fruit but was green not ripe, I told me niece let’s stand there and pray for Jesus to bless the fruit. I told her if we pray to Jesus, he said in Bible that if two pray in my name I’ll be the third with you; praying in the middle. She looked at me and repeated “Jesus will be in the middle as we pray?” I said yes. I said but we won’t see him but he will be there because Jesus doesn’t lie. We closed our eyes and started praying, she said the most beautiful words asking God to protect the family etc, on her own, her own little precious prayer. As our eyes are closed, we said Amen, then we heard a sound of something fell by us. We opened our eyes and both looked down in between our feet, literally in the middle of both of us, on ground we see big green fig. My niece words were this fig fell from heaven. We both knew this was from Jesus. We both didn’t see it falling. There’s no way it fell from the tree. The tree is small and not above our heads. And we standing in front of it and away by like two or three feet. The fig landed exactly in between of us. This’s one small story of how God interact with us. I promise other interesting things been happening to my family and myself all of my life. God dwells in us and He loves us dearly. You will have your own special experiences but you need to open your heart and accept Jesus’ invitation.

This touched my very soul...thank you Lee for sharing and God bless you and yours.
I pray daily.. sometimes hourly that he will do the same for my family .
Christian love to all out there from Norfolk UK
Gilly wife of Mark
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!
Exactly. Are you still living Lee Strobel? I remember my dad bringing home your book during his initial days of ministry and he himself is retired and down to limited daily activity. Keep sharing God. Love from India
He is still alive and on Twitter.
Your book a Case for Christ, answers allot of my questions and that turned me. God bless you on your road ahead.
Have you read Caesar's Messiah by Joseph Atwill?
AMEN!!!!👏👏👏💜💜
@@Itsatz0 Did you ever read the book? First read it and then say it.
@@Itsatz0 Lmao don't delete your hateful comments it's okay. Why so ignorant? You want evidence but once it's given you are too stubborn to even read it
@@Itsatz0 Why do you keep deleting your comments right after you post them? Anyways, you have no evidence for it to be copied. And the birth, life, and death of Jesus was already prophesied 600 years before by Prophet Isaiah. And Jesus's life matches the closest with Isaiah's prophesy so we can know that that story was the one being prophesied about. And anyways, all those other stories are not even close to what Isaiah prophesied. And the fact that Jesus fulfilled so many prophesied right when he was born and that he was a Jew automatically makes him the closest reference to what Isaiah was prophesying about. And don't even say that the Bible manuscripts are not reliable as it has more than 5000 original copies of the New Testament, more than any other historical documents, especially from 2000 years ago. And the New Testament passes the bibliographical test showing that it was not made up later on but was actually a primary source. The earliest copy is of John's Gospel made 30-50 years after it was actually written, the closest copy based on time for a document written 2,000 years ago. See just because you are ignorant and don't like Christianity doesn't mean you can throw away the evidence. I really can't be typing all this out. So please actually go read the book for evidence like these and stop being ignorant.
Lee is fantastic.. God bless us when he saved him.. He who seeks God with all his heart finds him.. lee sought and God did what he promised.
@@Agateophobiadragon please do not give up. I sought and struggled with broken life for over fifty yrs. I searched m in religion all over the world. I was abused and head injured. I was homeless. I was so lost, a sinner. Jesus Christ finally answered my prayers and came after me, the lost sheep after all those yrs. Do not give up. HE IS
LOVE ! HE IS EVERYTHING! PRAISE Jesus Christ Lord God! King of Heaven and Earth! 🙏🕊💙
I will pray for you.💖💞
If everyone seek to find they will find and believe, but if everyone seek to give themselves a reason not to believe they will NEVER find nor believe, you my brother had sought the Lord and never even noticed you were seeking, but he that seeks shall find it, and you have found him, Jesus is a live in all of us, Amen!
I am so glad to see this video...teach me not to give up on the love ones we pray for...God bless you and your family brother Lee
Boy, it’s been a while since I had been brought to tears like this…
Wow, wow... I used to think Jesus and God was like the traditional African stories and fairy tales but I thank God He revealed Himself to me through His word and these historical findings just push me deeper in Christ. He is indeed who He says He is: blessed be thy name Lamb of God Jesus the Messiah and my God.
Amen! God Jesus bless you Continually!
The best book I ever read. God bless you all
Best testimony I’ve ever heard! I can’t love this enough! It certainly gives me hope for some loved ones who do not believe.
I really feel this too ❤️🤗
very good one but try Dr.Nabeel Quereshi, thats even more amazing
Me too. I pray for some of my family members that refuse to believe. I know this is assurance that God will work on their hearts of stone just as he did for Lee
@@breonamullins5346 You don't have to worry, my friend. Just because they don't believe in Christ doesn't mean they will be in hell for eternity. God has a plan for everyone. They will likely inhabit one of the earthly planes (the astral realm, twilight zone or summerland) before progressing to the heavens.
God Bless!
@@MysticMaverick3527 where did you come up with those areas of habitation
This is such a powerful testimony. I never get tired of hearing it. This might have been his best rendition yet. It is so difficult to relay this type of story to skeptics, because so much of the journey is inward and experiential. It's easier to dismiss the whole thing as a lie than to investigate Lee's claims to come to their own conclusion. Lee went into the investigation with a journalistic bias of exposing Christianity as a fraud, and he STILL came out of it a strong believer! There is a lot to be said for that, if nothing else. May God continue to bless Lee, his incredible ministry, and his loving family. I am still awe-inspired by this, and hope that God will permeate my life and family the way that He has with Lee and many others.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 If Strobel interviewed people again for his book, that does not mean that his original inquiries don't exist. He gave up a lot of material goods and status to be where he is today. I could have made a lot of money as an "exotic dancer", but never said yes to even one person. There is more to life than money or fame. We have far better reasons for being here.
You are the beautiful girl on planet earth 🌏.
Hey Lee!
We really need you back at the editing department at the Newspaper office!
They don't tell Anything that's True anymore! 😂
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Wow Lee must be something with us hard headed Chicago guys .... almost the same story, what a Amazing journey it's been and what a wonderful journey it will be.
Excellent!
I can barely find words to express how beautiful this talk was to me.
What a story, what a God! This, Brothers and Sisters is such a reason to worship our amazing Father! ♥️
You are beautiful and have a lovely smile ❤️. God bless you 🙏🏻
I was there! Thank you Lee for serving the Lord
I could listen to this story again and again. I am going to give his book to my daughter, in the hope that she will come to the same conclusion as Mr Strobel and turn her heart from anxiety and anger to Her Creator and Saviour.
I have loved the Pastors book for years. It was part of my confirmation material when I was a Methodist kid. I kept the books by the grace of God. I found them years later around 19-20. I’m now 28. I love the book and as of today have enjoyed a few of his sermons! I’m excited to read his new book! Thank you pastor! I have been able to help others with what I have learned from you! You have helped me as well!
Yehushua Ha’Mashiach is my one and only King! All praise to his name!
Shalom
Praise to what his name stands for: Yahs salvation.
Hallelujah !!! Nothing is impossible with God !!!❤️❤️🙏🙏🔥🔥👍👍
I was just listening to this on the radio the other day and had to get out of the car for an appointment. I had no information on this, as I caught it a few minutes in. God is so good! Just popped up in my recommendations!! Jesus Christ is King of Kings, the way, the truth and the life!!
This may have been the most moving testimony I have ever heard. I'm absolutely gobsmacked.
just Wright What part exactly wasn’t factual ?
Toni I think the same about yours
@@toni4729 why are you hostile and angry? You shouldn't be so bitter man it's not good for you. God bless brother/sister
Toni I mean your picture, tells me all I need to know. Like you said.
His wife's prayer was so powerful!!!
I needed this. I needed it so badly. I have been struggling with trying to keep a faith in Chris, my friends are having their own problems. But in the current struggles of the world, I know I'm turning even stronger to God than I ever have. I'm pulling away from the evil I have been doing and I'm growing ever closer to the one and only God. I honestly broke into tears watching this. Thank you, Lee Strobel, and more importantly thank you God. I believe, and I am not ashamed, praise be to Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit.
One of the greatest and most sincere apologists today.
I looooove that book! I read it first in Russian, I found that book in some store which isn’t exists even anymore! But I was soooo impressed with this book and facts about Jesus resurrection, it gave me more confidence as a young Christian that God is real! Thank you so much for such an awesome testimony!!!
I am happy that I found this video. I know that Jesus lives. Because He saved me and gave His life for me. Thank you Jesus for loving me. Amen.
This brought me to tears... Praise God ... I love Jesus forever and appreciate Him forever and give thanks to Him forever and ever !!!
Wonderful.. wonderful.. WONDERFUL! I love it! I love how our Father & his Son work. They are so patient, so kind, so LOVINGGGGGG, so forgiving... it's an honor and pleasure to serve our King, our Messiah, OUR SAVIOR! With a HUGE SMILE on my face, I say to you out there, I can't wait to see you up there!!!!!!! What a glorious reunion that day will be!! It's coming!! So, look up and take heart!! ❤🖒
Wow! I cried real tears whilst watching this. Thank you LORD Jesus for your saving grace!
He is not saying a thing
Wow. This should be a tedtalk. A most helpful and inspiring story.
No one is beyond hope. ❤
This made me bawl. What an incredible story. God is so good!! Wow!! So many similarities between you, Mr. Stroble, and my husband. I will not give up praying for him to bow his knee to Christ. I have wanted to give up a thousand times as well. I will keep praying and know God can change him just like he did for you.
Oh Lord, what a message to receive on this christmas day ! Thank you for the hope... I have been so bitter the last few months. Our Father spoke to me through you. There is nothing more powerful, apart from the Word, than our testimony. Praise the Lord.,our saviour.
Lee, thank you for your encouragement today. Bless you
Thank god for all the people that get up everyday to tell us about Jesus, people are seeking the word and god has blessed many with the talent and wisdom to satisfy that need.
Hi can I ask you a bible question?
@@chad969 Hi, i know that it was before 10 months, But can i help you?
I'm very "hungry" young man for the Word of God - the Bible and i Love the WORD HIMSELF - JESUS CHRIST, my God and Savior and i hope i can be helpful to you.
God bless you!
I have listened to all your books on audio book Lee. They are such a blessing in my life. God bless you and your family. Thank you Jesus
Lee and I met at McDonald Audi in Denver. Gave me a copy of a case for Christ signed
@Christian Slayer Are you a follower of Christ (YHWH)?
Thank you brother for testifying in love. He is HOW HE IS. 🙌🎉🇮🇱
Love it! Blessings from Poland brothers and sisters in Christ! :)
Lord Jesus bless you! Greetings and Love from Bulgaria!
I started watching this as something to listen to while I worked and ended up glued to the screen in tears...Praise God for what He's doing through Lee Strobel.
This fills you with overwhelming emotion.
Thank you Reverend Strobel. Masterfully done. I learned of Lee Strobel from listening to Dan Bongino talk radio only this week. I did not know Dan Bongino is a man of faith. He’s a man’s man.
This is moving! a child of GOD!
Just watched your movie! Brought my husband to tears. Wished I would have known about you when I was in the midst of being saved. I thought I had to be perfect, Thanks to my Pastor he assured me that if I was perfect I wouldn't be on earth.
James Linden, were you with us? Too bad you do not have the tenacity to be a follower of Christ.
Why are you on this site if you think there is no Gods
James, leave her alone. You weren’t there, don’t judge her. Come to know Jesus, who is the Christ.
Don’t worry about him, God bless, prayed for you and your husband.
Thank You Jesus for Your miraculous presence, that changes the hearts and minds, of men! We give you GLORY, Father God. Amen and Amen! Blessings! Leila. Australia.
May God Bless Lee Strobel..what a contribution 🙏 to the true faith...
Thank you brother Lee. May God continue to use you for the defense of the Gospel.God bless
i can’t stop watching this .. loved the movie ❤️
What a blessing....thank you Mr Strobel for sharing your beautiful and heartfelt story. God bless you!
This brother is going to get the biggest reward heaven has to offer. Perhaps even greater of a gift than the apostles themselves or equal to. Our Lord tested and set him up nicely for eternity.
John 20:29
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Thank you, I'm in tears, my redeemer lives. Glory to God!! God bless you!!
So grateful 😊 thank you God and thank you Lee 🙏🙏
This is getting me right in the feels. Love your work Lee, you are an amazing warrior for Christ. God bless you and all those who love Christ our Lord!
I've been doubting so much of my Loving Lord. This video has popped in my recomended a few times but i rejected it.... Today i couldn't take it anymore and watched the whole thing. Jesus talked to me through it, he got me back on track, He saved me from myself and put me to tears. Jesus has done nothing but make my family better... I recieve him and confess him as Lord.
Amazing testimony Lee. Lives are changed by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. So thankful God didn't make me a reprobate while i was lost in sin. He IS Love.
36:32 I teared up, and got real emotional right here
me too!
This past Saturday i just got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and savior!praise be to Lord Jesus
👍 Praise the LAMB of God!
P.s. YHWH is JESUS! In the O.T. YHWH appeared in Visible Form/s that is the WORD and the HOLY SPIRIT (the Shekinah/the Glory/the Spirit of CHRIST)
I’m in tears with this testimony! Jesus is real 🤍🤍😭😭
All I can say is thank you verry much. I appreciate you for calming my mind. Praise be to god.
