I'm meeting with an atheist aquaintance tomorrow to discuss Christianity. This message is perfect inspiration!!! If anyone sees this tonight, please pray. ♡ Thank you!
Also wondering how it went
How'd it go?
@misslinda1589 how did it go?
Jesus I pray for you to open this person's eyes to everything that you are and cause that they call on you to save them from hell and I thank you Jesus for your mercy and compassion for us the fallen human race that was lost and undone without you and to keep us from the evil amen and maranatha
How did it go???
No matter what my ever-changing feelings are, the evidence has really always been my anchor for faith
Facts. Same here.
Same. It's actually a logical approach to faith for me.
Well said, same for me. I wavered for many years but when I dove into apologetics, I was like in disbelief about how much real evidence there is logically, physically and spiritually. I pray everyone discovers this route.
PS: It amazes me how the Lord took Jim Wallace from Design/Architecture to Homicide Detective, all the while knowing how he'd use his skills. It also amazes me how much Jim learned about Christianity in a relatively short amount of time. He puts most lifelong Christians to shame.
Jim is a wonderful blessing to have here with us on Earth!
Thank you!
Thank you Jim for what you do. The analogies are spot on.
Please don't stop...
J. Warner Wallace works. Like the Apostle Paul, he was a 4 (an enemy of the cross). Just think how far he had to come in order to turn from staunch denier, to defender of the faith! This kind of person is gold in a courtroom, because their testimony stands head & shoulders above the rest. (Perhaps this is why the Apostle Paul's considered the most effective Christian ever, and could equally be remembered as the "Apologist Paul"). JWW also stands extremely effective in the courtroom for Christ, and was definitely born for such a time as this!
Awesome content as always! This is something i have begun to train my kids to do, they're 9 and 12. I feel they must know the evidence for and against Christianity. I feel the evidence for Christianity far outweigh the evidence against and i feel by exposing them to both sides, with me there to help them think out the evidence, that theyll be far more able to defend their faith in this world that is turning against Christianity more and more. Previous generations in the US i feel could get away with being "lazy" about researching and testing their faith, but this younger generation wont survive if they sit back and color pictures of noah in sunday school. Going to read your latest book again after listening to this :) i shared this with my bible study group as well. God bless you, your wife, kids, dog and even your cat. I pray your fathers heart is softened to the gospel of Jesus as well.
I read your reply, that was very passionate and thought out. God bless you too my friend. I pray for your children and you.🙏❤️✝️
I don’t even have kids yet and I can’t wait to raise them up in the Faith. 🙏🏻
Hello from France . Frenchman here...Absolutely fabulous! And Oooooo.....thank you soooo much❤ for "putting the cookies on a lower shelf" by helping us resist some of these new words that sound pretty awful actually. . apologist...and othe rs like " eschatology (!!!!😱 Gimme a break...)we don't t need complicated words long live simplicity!👍☺️
Next time: please always film the slide screen!
I might attempt to translate this into Français...✌️
Thank you for sharing this clear and practical teaching!
I'm praying for your father's salvation
I appreciate your point of view so much!
Glad you do!
Thank you so much for making all the great videos you do. I had been having a dry spot in my faith recently we’re I was just kind of let questions like what if there isn’t a God or are the things I thought I had experienced God a coincidence get into my head a lot, but these videos have reminded me of just how much true evidence there is for Jesus and God. So thank you.
You are so welcome
Literally listening to this as I’m checking sheep pastures. Everything he says is true. There is a reason God compares us to sheep.
Thank God for my first chur h The potters House. They taught this clearly abd we went out witnessing on the streets every Friday night to the city centre. It was so scary but it made us able to present the gospel clearly to many different people. I am thankful for my early training in the fellowship.
I cant believe this is free to watch
Absolutely loving your channel and the information you share with us! Thank you! 🙏
these analogies are wonderful and clear, God bless
Glad you liked them!
So thankful for your ministry. Im thankful for how you apply your experience as a homicide detective to the gospel .
This is so excellent I absolutely love this presentation man. It’s so cool to be able to look at apologetics from this angle, which is something I completely never would’ve thought of doing until seeing this. Thank you so much. What a blessing.
I literally had a pastor yesterday say we should NOT argue for the faith!
Then we should at least plant seeds of truth. No need to argue. We choose whether or not to argue.
Yes, we should not “argue” with others causing anger or disruption between them. It is necessary though to defend our faith. If God provided us with knowledge that could turn someone to Him, why would we keep it to ourselves? It’s not necessarily arguing with them, it’s sharing your faith and knowledge with them in hopes of setting them free with Christ
maybe not argue but it’s never wrong to lead a horse to water it’s on them if they choose to take a sip of the water 😊
This is the most interesting and helpful take on Christianity I’ve ever heard! Thank you 🙏❤️ God bless
Every single video is so useful...... thank you Mr Warner and God bless you ...... I'm not very good at opening the conversation and tend to wait for a circumstance ....but I think now I have to find an opener..... I'll pray on it and hopefully the Lord will help me find one 🙏 .
Gilly wife of Mark
Glad you find that useful!
God Bless Everyone
About to go on my mission to Utah with a group of youth. Thank you for all the reminders, Gods Grace to my friend.
Out of interest, are you aiming to preach to Mormons?
Man you done an awesome job….. I really love the way you present the evidence, and layman terms. Thank you. I love watching you, and Frank Turk. I pray for you guys a lot too!🙏❤️✝️
We are so blessed that God saw fit to bring us J Warner Wallace for a time like this! We are all brought to this time and place by God for a purpose, the purpose of advancing His kingdom of heaven. Take that seriously, and watch the blessings flow in!
Thank you for clarifying the burden of proof. Something didn't quite feel right hearing people talk about burdens.
Your ministry is a blessing!
God is good, and he's doing incredible things through this incredible man
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊 I read your book person of interest and I have just passed it on to my sister who isn't saved praying it opens her eyes to the truth of Christianity 😊
I love these events that J does. I always learn something. God Bless you J and family.
God bless Jim 🙏🙏
Thank you!
Love this, very informative and such delight to listen to, super humble approach.
*_God Bless_*
Blessings to you as well.
Timothy actually encourages all Christians to be an apologists.
Very insightful and helpful..!
"People who... are open minded and more interested in the truth."
Perfect
Thanks so much for your videos.
55:30 That was a great reminder. As a point that has very little to do with matters of religion or faith - it felt like a greatly important obligation for me to express heartfelt thanks to people who helped me along the way, before I lost ties with them. It feels like there's so little that validates people's contribution, that I absolutely had to share it with them. But learning from my own bit of personal experience, with just how long it took for me to gain the hidnsight required to appreciate that (sometimes unintended, but crucial) help in full and a bit of courage to open up about it, there's now a sense of peace even without such acknowledgement for my own. It's not in vain - it's just out of your view more often than not.
Great presentation. I enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Thank you. I have often wondered whether debates are helpful in spreading the gospel. Good thing he touched on that. I somehow agree but I think it depends on the circumstances. We shouldn’t go about trying to debate people, that’s not what we are called to do. We are called to raise disciples. But sometimes we may have to defend the reason for our faith through debate.
I want to learn the scriptures to present once I overcome their objections.
So good!!!
Watching from Malawi Africa
Wonderful training!
One of the problems I think I have is knowing how to handle the discussion if the person doesn't stay on point and jumps around the place with different questions or talking points.
And what to do if they say or ask something in which you don't know what to answer. Do you change the talking point? Stick with your previous talking point? Or admit that you don't have an answer and continue to do one of the former?
My marriage is preaching saved by grace.
@@ntkmw8058. No. Mathew 7. Scary stuff.
@@ntkmw8058we all fall even if we saved cuz we still human Don’t beat yourself down,get up and repent move on.
It’s like a healing process slow and we learn as walk with lord
Det. Wallace references the 4 conditions a worldview must meet to be true, or something to that effect. What are the 4 conditions? Is that in another video? If referenced from one of his books, which one of his books, so that I can go out right now and buy it.
Wish he could come to Oregon near Salem to talk.
I was so looking forward to the after lunch portion!!!
How can I find it?????
This video was taken at a breakout at the Reality Student Apologetics Conference in Texas this past February (they do them all over the US). I’m not sure if there is anywhere online where you can view a recording of the presentation or not, but feel free to try to find one.
When a true Christian wakes up, and plants their feet on the ground, in their mind, the earth should quake, because of who their Father is, who's hand they are in, because of He that is with them
OMG, LAPD SWAT has said this… There are 3 kinds of people 1) The sheep 2) The Wolf 3) The Sheep Dog…. We ( SWAT are the) Sheepdogs !
Maybe not in Dallas but in Ft. Worth, all day long!😜
Is there a part 2 to this video? If so can someone post link please 🙏🏼
Speak the truth in love.
Nothing doesn't cause thing's to come into existence.
In the late 80s I was in LA, and was taken out to a restaurant, and there was blood on the sidewalk outside and a white body outline. True!
Plz , I want to be an apologist,I need to train , anyone here respond me
❤❤
In livitical law, a person can be convicted of any capital crime, for which the penalty is death. However, that person can only be put to death on the testimony of two or more eyewitnesses. Circumstantial evidence is not enough for capital punishment. And even then, those eyewitnesses must take part in the execution. Later on, if it is discovered that the eyewitnesses lied, they are guilty of the murder of that innocent person, and must then be put to death themselves. Circumstantial evidence cannot be put to death. But a false witness could be. This distinction is quite stark. That was a very good system, to protect the falsely accused from being falsely put to death. We have ventured far from that standard. Even so, in cases which did not call for capital punishment, circumstantial evidence was quite powerful.
Is there a link to the test for Christianity that Mormonism failed?
Does anyone have a Bible school they recommend?? I’m leaning towards SES 🙏🏾
Don’t get me wrong, I love J. Warner Wallace’s cold case logic and approach to apologetics. However, he has been proven wrong on his assessment of Dallas Cowboy’s choice of choosing CeeDee Lamb over Amari Cooper, at least for this year. ;)
😂
I’m concerned about the authenticity of direct evidence that is video with AI. Not relevant here necessarily but just thought I’d mention it.
I live in Utah (not Mormon) but am interested in the evidence that you found of Mormonism being false.
😢
For my messages from heavenlyfather........lots thing to do but the end for the Holy God ........holy spirit ......for nation ........

I'm a Greek Orthodox Christian and on my final year of studying theoretical physics. Firstly, I'll try to explain why Orthodoxy is the only True/Correct faith. Secondly, I'll suggest some things that could help anyone who is interested in Orthodoxy.
For the first part:
Orthodoxy is the First, Original (Historically) and only True faith which is the outcome of the direct revelation by God Himself (the Ιncarnated Word of God = Jesus Christ -> Bible) and thus is not a relegion (religion=a man-made belief system which is trying to explain God, as all known religions (Islam,Hinduism,....) or Christian heresies (Protestantism, Catholicism,...) are. Also, Orthodoxy is not a gesture of men reaching God, but is a gesture of God revealing himself to men)
Also, is called "Orthodoxy" which in Greek (The language in which the Bible was written by the Apostles originally) means the correct(Ortho=Ορθός=correct) belief(doxy=Δοξασία/Δόξα=belief/faith/dogma/tenet) and is the faith of all Greeks (to which Jesus=God said:
(John 12:20-24): " ²⁰Some Greeks had gone to Jerusalem to worship during Passover. ²¹Philip from Bethsaida in Galilee was there too. So they went to him and said, “Sir, we would like to meet Jesus.” ²²Philip told Andrew. Then the two of them went to Jesus and told him.
²³Jesus said: The time has come for the Son of Man to be given his glory.
²⁴I tell you for certain that a grain of wheat that falls on the ground will never be more than one grain unless it dies. But if it dies, it will produce lots of wheat")
Prophesying that the time has come for Him (Son of Man = Jesus as 100% human as the son of Virgin Mary/Theotokos) to die on the cross (...grain of wheat...it dies) and then given His Glory (Jesus as 100% God) after His Resurrection and Ascension to the right hand of God. Also Prophesying that His death "will produce lots of wheat", which is linked to Greeks stating that Greeks (and also all other people which are not Jewish and follow the same path (as Greeks in that time symbolized all non Jews), will glorify Jesus by recognizing Him as their Messiah, Savior and true God and they will keep the True and Correct Faith (Orthodoxy), and they will not go astray (as the Heretics or other religions), and In this way they will participate in the "production of lots of wheat", (In contrast to Jews and other Heretics (Catholics, etc which will do go astray and so they won't be able to inherit God's Kingdom and be Gods by grace))
(Jesus was always, before and after His death and always, simultaneously 100% human and 100% God. At first as 100% God He took the human nature by His gestation in Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit and became simultaneously 100% human too. Then by His tortures and the death of His human nature on the cross He took upon Himslef the sin of the entire fallen human nature and put an end to it with the death of this fallen nature of humans which didn't had the ability of Theosis (Theosis=To become God not by nature but by grace), but was the outcome of spiritual death and sin (see Genesis in the old Testament and the fall of Adam and Eve). Finally, with His Resurrection and Ascension (As 100% human and 100% God simultaneously) to the right hand of God (The Father, and also with the Holy Spirit to Which He was fully connected to both of them always as the second Person of Holy Trinity by his 100% God nature), He led the human nature to the ABILITY of Theosis and the inheritance of God's Kingdom making humans who manage to go to Heaven the same as Him (by grace not by their nature)=Gods by grace.
But there is a big misconception in some heresies: God didn't Ιncarnated, became human and died on the cross to put everyone who says that believes in Jesus in heaven. Instead He did all that to give to people the ABILITY of Theosis and the inheritance of God's Kingdom. Whether this ABILITY is reclaimed and a person is saved and not go to hell, depends on the person's FREE WILL, (and what they truly believe in their heart), which is expressed by their actions in their lives on earth, the acceptance of God's Truth by becoming members of His one True Church by Being Orthodox Baptized (Other heretic baptisms as Catholic, etc are invalid even if some orthodox priests who are in places where Orthodoxy isn't very common say otherwise) and Chrismated (also this two things are necessary in order to be able to commune with the Holy Spirit and then Jesus Christ and Actually see God Himself and his Uncreated Light from this Life on earth) and having a correct lifestyle which includes Gods commands and participation in the liturgical mysteries, and having a spiritual father for guidance. This belief that everyone will be saved just because they say they are Christians is wrong, it was made just because it's suits people as the easy path and this is a typical example of why all these diefferent heresies were created.
All known religions are either man-made paganistic phylosophies (Islam,Hinduism,....), or heretic ideologies (influenced by the Revelation of God by God Himself=Orthodoxy---historically precedes all its heresies and islam too which is influenced by Orthodoxy too anyway) where the truth is falsified, misquoted and manipulated in order to conform to the sinful prejudices and to the enforcement of authority of the different people that made them (Pope, Mohammed,....). And that's why they changed the original faith into all this heresies and religions known today (Protestantism, Catholicism, Islam,...). The belief that every belief is true and correct as long as someone refers to the word Jesus is wrong, the truth and Gods' presence and grace is only in Orthodoxy.People don't know this things and continue to be misleaded from generation to generation.
Also, an other proof is the miracle of the Holy Light at the day of the celebration of Resurrection in Easter which always is done by the Orthodox Patriarch until today, and one time in history (In 1549 AD) when the heretics didn't let the Orthodox Patriarch perform the miracle and tried to do it by themselves, the miracle didn't happen and the pillar next to the Orthodox Patriarch opened and the Holy Light came out illuminating only his candles. The Emir watched the events from the minaret of the mosque opposite the Temple and shouted "One is the true God, the God of Christians. I believe in the Risen Christ", Then the Muslims caught him and beheaded him. His holy relic is kept to this day in the Holy Monastery of the Great Virgin of Jerusalem. The crack of the pillar located in the middle column to the left of the entrance to the complex of the Holy Sepulcher is 1.20 meters high and, it looks like a rising flame. From then on Heretics gave back to the Orthodox Bishop the right to do the miracle himself.
THE BIGGEST PROOF IS THAT IN ALL THIS RELIGIONS PEOPLE CAN NOT SEE GOD, BUT IN ORTHODOXY GOD CAN BE SEEN DIRECTLY, EXPERIENCED WITH ALL SENSES, EATEN AND DRUNK UNITING DIRECTLY WITH A BAPTIZED PERSON'S HEART (BY THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY EUCHARIST) AND A PERSONAL EXISTENCIAL RELATIONSHIP AND COMMUNICATION WITH GOD, THEOSIS AND THE EXPERIENCE OF HEAVEN AND GODS KINGDOM CAN BE ACHIVED BY THIS LIFE ON EARTH AS THE MAIN ELEMENT OF ORTHODOXY.
For the second part, some things that could help are:
The Channel "trisagion films" which has videos about Orthodoxy and lives of saints in English and the movie of "the life of saint Joseph the hesychast" which is available in English in youtube.
Byzantine Music and hymns.
The book "Great Gerontikon" and the lives of saints.
Elder Ephraims of Arizona monasteries throughout US (who is most probably to officially declared a saint in recent future).
Holy mountain of Athos and Vatopedi monastery and its youtube Channel.
Pray to God by your own words or with known Orthodox prayers, as much as you can, in order to start feeling the grace inside your heart.
LEARN ABOUT THE "UNCEASING PRAYER OF THE MIND AND HEART" ("JESUS PRAYER").
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Find a spiritual father for guidance
Start having a correct lifestyle which includes Gods commands, and learn as much as you can by studying.
Participate in the liturgical mysteries of the church.
When you feel ready be Orthodox Baptized (Other heretic baptisms as Catholic, etc are invalid, even if some wrongly say the opposite) and Chrismated (2 things necessary to be able to commune with and see God Himself and his Uncreated Light from this Life on earth, and for later to be able to inherit God's Kingdom and achieve Theosis).
THE ONLY PURPOSE OF ALL THOSE THINGS IS TO HELP A PERSON ACHIVE COMPLETE COMMUNION (PERSONAL EXISTENCIAL RELATIONSHIP THAT HAPPENS WITH ALL OUR BEING-BODY AND SOUL) WITH GOD, THEOSIS (AS AN OUTCOME OF THE FORMER) AND THE EXPERIENCE AND INHERITANCE OF HEAVEN AND GODS KINGDOM (=GOD'S PRESENCE), FIRST FROM THIS LIFE AND THEN FOR ETERNITY IN THE OTHER LIFE, BY SACRIFICING THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE/CAN PRODUCE BY OUR SELVES WHICH IS OUR FREE WILL (AS A GOD GIVEN ABILITY...EVERY OTHER THING EITHER COMES FROM THE GRACE OF GOD/HIS PRESENCE OR THE ABSENCE OF THE GRACE OF GOD/HIS ABSENCE...) (FREE WILL = THE ABILITY TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN US...WE ARE LIKE A MECHANICAL MACHINE, WE CAN DO CERTAIN THINGS (THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE THINGS GOD HIMSELF DOES...IF GOOD..., AS WE ARE IMAGES OF GOD) BUT ONLY IF WE HAVE THE NECESSARY FUEL IN US WHICH IN THIS CASE IS THE GARCE OF GOD (IF WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT GOOD THINGS), OR THE ABSENCE OF THE GRACE OF GOD (IF WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT BAD THINGS...THERE IS NO EMPTY SPACE IN THE SPIRITUAL WORD, BUT THE "EMPTY SPACE" OF THE ABSENCE OF GOD IS "FILLED" WITH THE OPPOSITE TRAITS OF GOD WHICH ARE THE EVIL THINGS...).
EVERY GOOD THING IS A RAY OF LIGHT OF GOD'S INFINITE UNCREATED LIGHT AND EVERY BAD THING IS AN ABSENCE OF A RAY OF LIGHT OF GOD'S INFINITE UNCREATED LIGHT.
Algorithm boost.
I appreciate that!
