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!
God bless you!!! 💛
AWESOME TESTIMONY !!!! Thank you for sharing. Praise the LORD.
That's was so awesome!! God bless you always
Catholic for 25 years...When I learned salvation is gift and could NEVER be earned, wow. Since Jesus came into my ❤ 🤍 💙....Thank you for sharing...Wow!
Wow! Such an AMAZING series of events! May God continue to Be with, Watch Over & Bless You as the rest of your life continues to be AMAZING!!!
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.
IM LITERALLY DOING THE SAME THING😂🔥 I was listening while I was driving to the doctor’s office and then I got in here with my Bible and journal and restarted the video🙌🏼💪🏼
Brainwashing makes the Christian cult seem legitimate.
I have been a professional programmer since about the time the microprocessor was invented. That means all that time I've been examining millions of lines of human readable code in hundreds of thousands of documents for logical errors. The Bible takes at most 80 hours to read. It contains no errors of theological import in part or whole. Don't believe? Go ahead. Bring your best modus ponens, modus tollens, disjunctive syllogism...
Praise be to our most high God who rules the universe by his Word.
I bet it takes your crayon a long time to work out anything huh
This is utter uneducated LIES.
I bet you think Robin Hood is true because it has real people ad places in it
Same😂
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 UA-cam 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.
That's awesome,,,I been too,,praise Jesus name.
This is beautiful. God bless you, Del!
Amen ,
What a testimony! I'm an addict myself, so believe me, I get it about the 12 step program.
Psalm 22 is an all time favorite of mine. Written 1000 years before crucifixion was invented and 1500 years before Christ.
I HIGHLY suggest that you watch a sermon on "the crimson worm". Jesus is the Crimson worm. It will take whatbyou now know about psalm 22 and make it 1000x more powerful.
That is so cool Del !!! Absolutely same story aside from demons leaving me , but it's ok His will
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..." 🤣😂
😂😂😂
lol!
I love this pastor he doesn't sugarcoat nothing comes straight with scripture bless his man God and keep him doing your work Godspeed
Amen, @user-cb2xp9ep61, Pastor Voddie is on the ball!!! He is a loving servant of God Almighty and doesn't bite his tongue as he preaches/teaches the word of God!!!❤
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."
Amen
The best answer I’ve ever heard.
@Lt Dan if you listened to the video it’s cross referenced multiple times and even links to outside stories that legitimizes it further.
@@cynthiasomogyi256 antidotal testimony doesn’t make it truth to anyone but you. No one cares what you “saw” demonstrate its real!
@Lt Dan why do you call them stories?
Thank you
Voddie is such a Blessing to the body of Christ.
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!
wf,itvcjc,0
All he did was use the bible to “prove” the bible.
He definitely knows how to present a dishonest string of irrelevant half-truths that don't do anything close to what he is trying to do... but since people want to believe what he says, they just smile and nod without actually listening.
This guy knows how to lie through his teeth
@@gowdsake7103care to explain?
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.
Hi, I read your response re Voodie 's explanation of why have you forsake me. Could you please direct me to it. I'm in a similar position to yours.
@@paulineplunket121 you should get a John MacArthur 2nd edition study Bible. Theres so much information in it you wont know what to do with it including a page or two dedicated to all the old testament prophecies and where they were fulfilled. My favorite is in Genesis chapter 3 which was written about 1600 years before Jesus was even born. It says that God says to the serpent that He will put enmity between the womans offspring and the serpents offspring. "He will bruise his head and he will bruise His heel." Or in other words, someone will come who will be wounded by the serpent while simultaneously dealing a fatal blow to the serpent.
Amen bro I hope your doing better on your faith brother just know that this comment encouraged and inspired me to do better myself I love you brother
I myself walked with the Lord Jesus, and fell away like a wandering sheep from the fold. Thank Jesus for Loving me, and leading me back. Unfortunately, I just loss my oldest daughter to drugs, suicide. My oldest son to drug overdose just within a few months apart. What a wake up call, that satan can snatch you in a blink of an eye. Keep your eyes on Jesus not looking to the left or right. God Bless. Stay Strong
@@randystevens1690 😢dont know you but sorry for your loss ,
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.
"25,000 archaeological discoveries"
Name ONE that supports your delusional belief in a magical being.
@@18dot7Do you have a problem with comprehension? How can you have archeological discoveries for a God that is invisible to the human eye? He said archeological discoveries vindicating the Bible, which is not that hard of a find, in fact, not sure if you know about this, but there is an entire nation called Israel with actual sites and items from scripture dated from the appropriate time periods. I swear it takes a lot more faith to be an atheist these days
Listen to Josh McDowell, The Bible Fact or Fiction. It is filled with provable data.
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.
Make sure you are not dealing with Scrupulous OCD. If so, then seeking reassurance by watching videos like this will only make it worse in the long run.
Same here, I'm glad I found this. Satan is getting desperate so he's trying all he can to make ppl doubt God
You better rebuke those demons in Jesus' name
I like how you said,let the lion out,and he can defend himself

Since watching the first video by Voddie Bauchum, my life has never been the same. Thank you Jesus.
Same here! I have learned so much about The Bible from him. I didn’t understand much before but God gave him a gift to preach in a way we can understand.
@@brightbkh07 i Second that statement.. im completely blown away by the logic
Same here, I just found his teaching this year, I watch and listen keenly, I realized that I know less than I thought I knew and some of what I believed was wrong.
I'm moving purposefully in the right direction 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Truth. Voddie tells it like it is.
Awww you and your imaginary playmates
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.
Amen! God Bless you!🙏✝️
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 ✝️♥️
200,000 raped altar boys still cannot sleep at night. How gullible are you? They think that God Almighty is a useless turd. I wonder why? How educated are you, Audrey?
I can't put into words how happy I am that I found this sermon.
@Kevin - I know right? It is hilarious and had me laughing so hard I nearly fell off my chair!
You suffer from Christian Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. How educated are you, Kevin? Please let me know. I am waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Starhawke_Gaming You simply suffer from Christian Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. How educated are you? Please let me know. I am waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the most specific explanation i have ever heard, so good sir. Thank you 🥰🙏
Type Bible Criticism online and learn that the clever ancient Hebrews created Jehovah God etc in 950 BCE. Then they stole Satan from the Greek myth of Hades, Rube. How educated are you, Ane?
@@martinkent333 you keep on questioning how educated people are? Your educational level will not open your eyes from the truth we have. Whatever your educational level is, you're still a fool according to our Bible 😆

I was coming to find this comment. I appreciate it
Love this great preacher! How blessed are we to have such a wonderful expositor in our midst?! Thank you brother Voddie!
amen amen AMENNNN
I adore hearing this man teach the word of God, could you imagine him as an apostle and actually SAW Jesus Christ WHOA. Not to take away from Paul or Peter by any means, but I think you get what I'm writing here. LOL
THE JEWS CREATED JEHOVAH GOD IN 050 BCE, BUT YOU NEVER TYPE BIBLE FACTS ONLINE. WHAT UP?
NO EDUCATION EH?@@salizme68
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
So fantastic, thankyou Voddie. This video is still a blessing 9 years later
Why would the New Testament be in Greek if Jesus spoke Aramaic and read from the Hebrew Scriptures?
You study it and you find the answers to your questions. It is the best way to get to an answer instead of asking the question, you do the research, that way you will be satisfied with the findings.
@@rudolphferdinand3634
Did it ever cross. Your mind that maybe I have read it and want to dialogue or do you think all UA-cam commentators are illiterate?
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 came across him last year, but after listening and learning, I realized that we, all Christians can do the same thing as he. We all have the Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth who will guide us to the things of the Lord. We are given the full Spirit of God.
Thank the Orthodox Church for giving us the canon of scriptures
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!
Glad you wrote it down!🤍🙏🏽
Normal people simply type Bible Criticism online and find out that the clever ancient Hebrews created Jehovah God etc, in 950 BCE. Then they stole Satan from the Greek myth of Hades. How educated are you, Rube?

WOW...the Lord is with this man
where was he at? I watch the whole video and never saw him once.
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
This is one of the most powerful Bible studies I have ever heard.
Voddie is big time on point, apologetics is almost as big as evangelizing, giving an answer.
I like the style of this guy's preaching along with John MacArthur.
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.
Amen❤️...just found this man of God and my spirit has been refreshed 🙏🏾...Jesus is Lord ☺️
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!
Your family typed Bible Criticism online and found that the Hebrew myths are as real as the Greek myths, Rube. How educated are you?
@@martinkent333😂 ok martin
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
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...."
Maybe you should investigate whether or not what he is saying is true and consider if it actually makes sense before you just start memorizing phrases.
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!
Right I’m so glad that the Lord has blessed us with people like him. My spirit is truly refreshed when I listen to his sermons because he only preaches the truth unlike other preachers. No sugarcoating just pure raw truth. You can tell he loves God so much and works to bring glory to him alone. May God rise more bold, outspoken people of God like him from this generation even more. I pray that the Lord covers him even more!
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.
amen!
My class watched this, and we are doing a project on why we can trust the bible God bless you
Remember he is not 'proving' the Bible. He is explaining reasonably why he bows to the authority of the Bible. He states upfront that he refers back to the Bible as there is no higher source then the Bible.
Remember also that the Bible is a collection of books, 66, written by 40 authors over a period of 1,500 years. Pastor Voddie is not simply referencing one book to prove his statements as true, rather he is quoting many books pointing back to the same truth. His discussion on Bible prophecy is the most evident.
If you don't believe in the Bible that is your affair, as sad affair, but your affair. I and this pastor are not here to make you believe. This is not Islam and no man or woman today has the ability to convert someone through choice much less coercion. The take home message is that the pastor presented a well thought out, evidentiary reason that he believes the Bible is what it says it is. His reasoning is sound and logical.
We do believe in a sound doctrine- as given by the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise to Jesus.It's so incredible, because I a long time ago. (when i was a luke-warm Christian. ) I always believed the Lord wrote and conceived all that's in the bible. (which he did.) But my interpretation was not well placed. I believed his words to be dusty, old, out of step, incredibly long winded- and tasteless. I struggled a lot understanding the text. I mainly did so because I think i forced so much pressure on myself to understand every word. To read it like a regular Dr.Suess or ABC book. Never clicked though. so I stopped reading altogether. NEVER DO THIS. PLEASE. YOU WILL NEED EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THIS BOOK EVERY DAY. you stop reading, you will get confused, and conflicted on issues that you cannot figure out alone!Anyway- Genesis was especially GRUELING.(now it's practically my fav.)I reccomend- if your having trouble reading your bible. Still read it. Never let the thing out of your site.And stop trying to cram your own images of today's culture into it. Because the bible was written TO BELIEVERS. not for pagans. Until you believe you are spiritually blind. The Gospel is for Pagans though. So if you want- I would start in the gospels.Again, All of the 66 books, have their own flavor to it. There is comedy, romance, thrills, poems, justice, ALOT OF DEATH. Read the book and take your time. Learn the people's names. Learn where they are. Figure out who is most like you. Who would you be friends with? TAKE EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK AND FIND OUT ALL YOU CAN.It's pure wisdom people. I think by remembering these books were written by people (divinely inspired of course, by our Lord Yeshua) with their own feelings, despairs, and faith, it makes the book less daunting and fun. I always get a good laugh in the Exodus chaptersThe adventures with the isrealites ARE GOOD FOR SOME KNEE SLAPPING CHUCKLES. xD the Lord being like, "YOU GAIZ R MY PEEPS. SO QUIT BEING STIFF NECKED. I AIN'T SOME GOLDEN CALF. YA'LL BETER RECOGNIZE WHOM YOU IDOLIZE."so sorry. just so hilarious.
I began writing a long post, but that was not what was called for. I am not a good Christian, theologian, or apologist. My belief in the Bible as the final authority is in reverse as I guess it is for man gentile's that became Christians. I found the evidence that Jesus was God and resurrected from the dead to be overwhelming in a courtroom sense. Then I saw the change in people that became Christians, imperfect people and sinners still, but changed for the better. Then I believed and I became changed as well. Jesus believed the Bible was the word God (confusing I know) so I believed since He is my Christ. In the end it is my Faith in God.
The Bible is all about Jesus. Have you ever read a holy book where all of the heroes are seriously flawed? Well, all except Jesus.
Do I have my doubts at times? Yes. Are there parts of the Bible that I have questions or disagreements? Yes. So I study those that believe, those that don't believe. In study the academics as well.
Just because someone says something is true doesn't make it true. Just because he doesn't defend the Bible because he claims it's the highest authority, doesn't convince me of this. It's comical really. That alone makes his entire discussion worthless. Take that same idea and apply it to the Koran or any other "holy" book and tell me if you would accept that!
I shall warn you, i have written without much regard for length. I should've been more mindful. Because now this just seems unfair.
I assure you, i won't be offended if you do not read, or you skim, or you even don't reply. I am only writing to include my personal explanation. Perhaps so you might get something out of it?
God Bless-
There comes a point where you cannot convince a person because they just don't care. A person who THINKS they have no stake in an argument- or depends on the instructor to convince them doesn't have the capacity to even listen. Let alone flesh out questions to debate someone back. I find that what Mr. Voddie was saying was;
Not that the Bible should be accepted without question. (The Bible has passages dedicated to Questions like Job)But that any Questions about the validity of the the Bible has been tried and estimated and calculated already. So, if you see that all these people for all this time has tried to disprove the God of Creation or "debunk" His perfect word & followers-
yet have nothing little over "It makes no sense. Why can't he just show himself if he is real?" I also find it comical. Because if he wasn't real, then where/why/how/what is the reason everything is here? An explosion? From nothing? And whose qualified let alone trustworthy enough to investigate such gestures?
You and I both, are much to mindfully aware for that humiliating theory to entertain us.
As Mr. Voddie said, Friend, Something like, 4 different continents, 40 different authors, cohesive narrative, undeniable historical merit from kings and scribes, written by so many points of views over so many years-
The Bible should be understood as a "Given." Like how water makes something wet. The immense coordination has everything to do with the fact that the Bible has been around for a long time. The Bible would never be this well compiled, this hauntingly accurate, nor prophetically truthful if it were not under sovereign decree. As The Lord has made his word Final and unchanging.
Finally, i agree with you that i never tire of hearing the fantastic stories of Vishnu and Shiva and Bhudda. But i have not heard a single account on their behalf from their respective followers having any such coherent honor and laborious production like the Bible does (and along those lines the Hebrew Bible).
[Please note: Keep in mind there is a travesty going on among the Church. As decreed by God to do so & give Glory to him. Those in and out of human scope produce slander and blasphemy that compels the world to believe we are all just a bunch of hypocrites, bigots, gay-people killers, murder hungry home schooled shut ins, paranoid doomsday preppers, pedophiles, or just stubborn anti-humanist cults. If you have met anyone of this description i am sorry they troubled you wrongly & misrepresented Christ.I pray you meet the inspired person whose soul truly has the Holy Spirit dwelling within them, So you might understand.]
+Justin Fain Have your read the Koran and the historical background to the book? I have, and I have done the same with the Bible. There is much in the Koran that is true, an actual account of history. There is also much that is not true which is fairly obvious when read, and much that is true and evil. You cannot make the same logical claims about the Koran. The stories within have been changed many times. The Koran is 500 years newer than the New Testament of the Bible and uses much of the Bible as a jumping off point. Yes, I know their are billions that disagree with me on my points above, but you can look into it yourself.
What Islam offers is a very structured religion and a way to earn your way to god. I think most people want God. This is fairly obvious when scientists claim there is a genetic predisposition to seek god(s).
Now let's look at the differences between Islam and Christianity on their paths to getting to god and God.
Islam says if you do this and that you can earn your way to god.
Christianity shows that we are not good enough/worthy enough to earn our way to god. The best of us are evil in the sight of the Lord. The Old Testament gives the Law of God to the Jews to follow and none of them could keep the laws perfectly. The New Testament gives us the only one that could keep the Law perfectly and He was God/man. The only way to God for us is through a gift of mercy.
Look, no one will ever 'prove' to you on a scientific basis that the Bible and God are true and real. I think it can and is proved in an evidentiary basis, but you must be fully open to the stated testimonies of the people at the time of Jesus.
If you don't believe that is okay. Unlike other belief systems a true Christian will not put you to the sword if you don't. Yes, I know history has shown those who would do so, but they were not following Jesus as they did so. If you don't believe then you don't think there is help and love from the person of Jesus, and you don't believe in Hell of the Bible. If that is the case you should not care if Christians believe you are destined for Hell.
Don't forget that Christians believe they themselves should go to Hell if not for Jesus paying the price of sin for us. We are no better than you. Our lives have been changed as we walk and grow under the commands of God, but we are still as sinful. We are in this fact all hypocrites of a sort in we say there is perfection to strive for but we cannot attain that perfection.
Oh! I just found my new teacher.. to God be the glory
Thank you Dr Voddie
This MAN is so intelligent ❤
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.

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.

@11:08 "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eye witnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitness that report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies that claim that their writings are divine than rather human in origin"
It is astounding how much people can confuse fiction & reality, the Christian is profoundly illiterate.
If there were a god, then would there be any demand for scripture interpretations by various podium-jockeys using fantasyland vocabulary?
We really should address the social acceptance of large numbers of people speaking a fantasyland vocabulary & openly indulging in the deceit of religious belief as a tool of fascism.
These are the wolves in sheep's clothing, we know them by their works:
A wicked generation seeking signs when Jesus The Nailed says faith is worthless if you can't move mountains by issuing verbal orders to one.
Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy.
The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control.
Look at the verbose podium jockey speaking of faith & prayer as if we all should have a preference for travel with one foot in fantasyland.
Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital, & there is talk as if God does not have a perfect record of doing nothing, as if we had no reason for the saying: God helps those helping themselves.
A house divided cannot stand.
We vote because Christians have no quality-controls, & we desire those governing not making suggestions travel is best done with one foot in someone's fantasyland.
'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.''
It was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch-killings.
One might expect a deity to make itself known to everyone without work performed in interpretations of old literature by guys like our verbose podium jockey.
Theologians acquire grand titles without certification from a deity, & project certainty using fantasyland vocabulary in an academic setting to compensate for lack of reason.
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.
Oh The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World, I found only a peice of that surmon years ago on FB. The serch for more of Voddie began - the whole sermon, then this, then on marriage then.... helping him in Africa. I pray he has fully recovered from his heart disease. And that he and his children live long Jesus loving (expousing) lives - amen!!
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 was as dope as it gets I loved it truly
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.
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.
Mr Bauchman is an angel. The way he reiterates and explains in detail is a blessing.
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.
You are living a lie. Your god is a delusion. And you have nothing to prove otherwise. All you have is infantile balle about magical beings. You have zero proof for your claims. You are a LIAR! And no words can prove otherwise. Why did you choose to dedicate your life to a lie?
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.
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!!
Sister, please dont be discouraged, you cannot bring that person to Christ, you have planted a seed but the Holy Spirit should water it and draw them to Jesus...
Now if that person is as learned as you say, the biggest problem will be arrogance, something you cant do anything about, if they stay that way the Lord God will give them over to a reprobate mind and they unfotunately will not let the Holy Spirit in...
Please dont let a person like that discourage you in your faith, that person is of the world and thinks that wisdom is greater then Gods wisdom, you know thats not true...
God bless you sister...
@Debra Charles yes
Boldly proclaim the truth and the rest is in God's hands
@Debra Charles yes! but with that said sometimes our best witness is our lives. love people, answering question, and telling them that Hod does love them. for some people you are to plant seeds for someone else’s harvest.
Glory to God!!! We all needed this!!
The mastery that comes from walking with Jesus is astounding and this is a great illustration of it.
I am absolutely HONORED to be your brother in Christ!
Ty for preaching and teaching TRUTH Voddie. The inerrant, infallible sufficient Word of the 1 & only True living GOD!
“I choose to believe the Bible because it’s a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfilment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.”
Amazing for not only well spoken, calm clear and collected, but also with comment section open for reactions!! THAT brings forth dialogue and trust it will be respectful!! 🙏❤
Don’t be a fool. Trust the Bible ! Repent and follow Jesus !
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.
But the one who made the law that those who disobey god will get eternal torture is also jesus 😂😂😂
Wrong....just like your sentence structure!@@nonamefound95
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!!!
This is a gift ... from a gifted gentleman
omgosh... I LOOOVE this man of God!! TY Father for this lesson that I BELIEVE came straight to me for my younger son!! amen!
Child of God Keep your dreams alive and let what God has in stock for you to materialize.

This teaching has been something that I needed to hear.
Why should Jesus offer prayers to be saved from a fate that he was knowingly supposed to endure in order to redeem all humanity from the power of sin? How could Jesus have entertained the thought that God forsook him if by his allegedly pre-planned divinely ordained death humanity was supposedly given its only means of attaining salvation?
I'm not a theologian but:
1) Jesus didn't expect to be saved from it. He was, understandably, dreading the absolute torture He was about to go through. However, He was willing to go through that in order to save the world. You can see in that passage that at the end of every prayer, He submits Himself to His fate. It's important to note that, if Jesus wanted to save Himself, He could have done so at any point. Jesus' prayer models for us that it's okay to wrestle with God, so long as we accept His will in the end. Do you know another God who wants us to bring all of our messy emotions to Him?
2) In Jesus' time, the Psalms weren't numbered the way they were now. People referred to them by their first lines. Sort of like some hymn titles. For example, if I were to say, in my church, "Take my life and let it be," the others there would think of the whole song, or at least finish the lyric: "consecrated, Lord for thee." If you're not familiar with that hymn, then if I said, "Hey, Jude," you'd think of the whole song, wouldn't you? All that to say, when Jesus said the first line of Psalm 22, the Jewish people around would have thought of that Psalm. It's a song of lament, full of prophecies of Jesus on the cross, and it ends with praise: "He has done it!"
These are great questions, whatever your motive for posting them.
Voddie is becoming one of my favorite pastor. God Bless your work and ministry.
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!
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!
God led you here to bolster your faith in Him
He's a great Bible Teacher
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.
Voddie preaching the Truth!!!!
This is sooo amazing!
I’m convinced by the Bible because I think it’s divine, what an argument lmao
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!
What an amazing teacher!!
This is so good 🙌🏽
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!!
Philippians 2:9-10. Truth of scripture.
I bless God for this answer.
He's the best!
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 !
A whole lot of people came to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit before the Bible was compiled. They heard the witness of transformed people and came to Christ. The Bible, when it became available, confirmed what had happened in their spirit.
I love Voddie - he's such a great teacher
thank you lord for bringing me to this site this is execellent😇
THIS INFO IS GOING TO HELP ME A GREAT DEAL ,PRAISE GOD!
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!
"I tried it, it changed my life.."🙋🏿
This is incredible
Thank you Lord for inspiring your Son telling us about the Biblical reliability.
What an amazing teaching session. I learnt so much. This kinda teaching excites my soul. Thank you ☺️
"The Bible is true because it says so in the Bible."
Very convincing argument.
Great teaching, I love this.
Good Points:
"Well I tried it and it changed my life... good for you."
"3 Continents, 3 languages, over 40 authors (most of whom never met one another), they write us 66 volumes. These volumes address 100s of different subjects and topics and come together in a cohesive unit that tells one redemptive story and it's written over a period of more than 1500 years, therefore you have corroboration, you have reliability, you have 25,000... TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND archaeological digs related directly to matters discussed in the bible that have confirmed what we find therein... the intelligent man says I choose to believe the bible..."
"I choose to believe the bible because it's a reliable collection of historical documents written by eye witnesses during the life time of other eye witnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine rather than human and origin."
This knowledge is crucial to every Christian. 1 Peter 3:15. Such a blessing.
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
Thank you Voddie your a blessing. NZ Wellington Porirua loves you all. Jesus is king blessings
This should have so many more views ❤❤❤❤
So should the bible
Praise God, and thank you, Dr. Baucham for this great lesson. I've recently been praying for help to believe the Bible as truth, and this presentation is exactly what I needed.
