I was a Hindu and now saved by the grace of God and proclaiming His gospel with the help of the Holy Spirit 🙏 Thank you Jesus
Praise the Lord Jesus ❤
Congratulations ♡Welcome🎉
May I ask you why u switched?
Exactly! Gospel of John 14 * -15 - 16 - 17
Hebrews 1

And *this* is why Christianity is evidence-based faith. This is why we, above atheists and evolutionists, exercise reason in our faith. Don't let them gaslight you to believe you have "blind faith." That's their domain.
We also need to spread better information, everyone claims to be saved today
I played with a Ouija Board when I was 9. I communicated with demons that then appeared to me. I called on Jesus and they left! I don’t know theology but what I do know is, “I was blind, but now I see!”
Glad for you, Kelly. Don't ever let go of Jesus!
Amen, u need to get ur testimony out in the World…Praise our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST !!! Welcome Sis ✝️🙌🙏💟 look up, we’re going up 🥳
I've gone to university and been taught by some of these "scholar" historians, etc. They aren't necessarily brilliant or even smart. This guy has an exceptional talent for this and he's proven it in the real world (rather than academia). I take his word over an average university professor who might dispute the history of the Bible.
Disputing the Bible is always based on BIASED OPINIONS made by biased cynics. They ALWAYS ASSUME that the Bible is wrong because of their God Hatred or Christian Hatred. If you dig deep enough you will always find that they have a strong emotional neediness for a Godless universe... not UNASSUMED OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE.
Yeah, because he knows what he’s talking about. He’s an actual cold case homicide detective. , AND, he was a committed (his words) atheist until he was 35 so he didn’t grow up as a Christian and didn’t accept it as being true because that’s how he grew up . No , he investigated it and found it to be true ! That’s impressive.
Coming into Christianity at a late age (in my 40’s) , I was so surprised that there’s more people trying to disprove Christianity than prove it. A good study Bible it worth gold! ✝️🏴😊🇬🇧⛪️
Wallace is one of the greatest apologists of all time; he has a perfect blend of an intellectual and common sense approach to this field.
I'm glad this man is on the right side of the law.
❤ if he were a criminal , the planet would be in deep shit
*_God Bless_* this man and the logical defence in his belief of God's Word.
More people should be learning from Godly men like this.
Honestly I think the best a Christian on the street can do is be ready with the bullet points and have the links to videos like this ready to go.
I keep QR codes on business cards at the ready. 😅
do u have other videos (possibly that talk about different topics than this) that u could reccomend us?
I agree. My thought exactly
@@SickleRCY what specific topics are you looking for?
Well, Jesus said that these signs shall follow Those who believe, but, what are the signs following Christians today and how to they measure up to the list Jesus gave us? So much of evangelism today is about filling people's heads with more of the “right” knowledge, but can leave people feeling powerless to overcome the strongholds in their lives because we’ve just presented and alternate religion rather than an alternate way of living. We must be more than a people of the “book" we must be a people of the Spirit as well, hence spirit AND truth and then these signs will follow those who truly believe. Perhaps we dismiss the things of the Spirit because we don’t really believe like we say we believe . We must learn not to lean so heavily on our own understanding, even if it’s an understanding of his Word, because we can’t even rightly understand the Word of God apart from relationship with the Spirit.
Maybe Jesus wants to authenticate his messengers today by way of those signs he said would follow those who actually believe. No wonder the church lacks power when we say these gifts of the spirit were for yesterday but not today? Our theology has endorsed doubt not Faith because we have discerned his words by our flesh. It is Faith that pleases God. Not cleverly crafted arguments. People in other religions are not looking for another religion, but that which is truth. All of these religions, as j wallace says, like the Baha Faith, have some very interesting stories and philosophies. But what they lack is the authentication and the power of God to back them up and I fear that the church has just become another religion with a leader named Jesus, not with a loving heavenly Father , son and Spirit who desperately longs for us to fall in love with them.. While many believers have seen the bullet proof vest work for others. They're not quite sure it will work for them? If we are going to change the world, it's going to have to be because we both know and have experienced the power of God and his truth and we go beyond head knowledge into a heart Knowledge and actual relationship with Jesus that has determined to express our love through obedience. So what do we do with Jesus’ command to go into all the world? Cast out demons Heal the sick, raise the dead If we don't even believe that Jesus does those things today? All we have left is our understanding of a philosophy. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. He never called us 2 find. J Warner Wallace videos so that they mightbelievve, although I think they will be valuable in evamgelism. but people want to see the gospel in action in our own lives and that will take us stepping out in obedience to see the power of God validate us as the world sees his power , love and truth demonstrated in our lives
I could use some prayers if y'all would. My dad and I are being forced to leave the home we've lived in for almost 29 years. My dad got it when I was 13. I live with and try to take care of him. Now we have to find somewhere else to live.
🙏
God be with you, I know the feeling, may God lead you too the rite decisions you have to make, in Jesus name.
1. Hear the Gospel. (Romans 10:17, John 8:32)
2. Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31)
3. Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30)
4. Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32)
5. Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38)
6. Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10)
I ask the Lord to do justice for and dad. May He see you guys through in Christ's name
This retired detective and Christian loves the way you break these issues down. Thanks for what you are doing.
Perspective is so important. Two people who have lived together for over 40 years will have vastly different perspectives on something that happened…daily…
As a believer and former cop, I appreciate this so much!
I shouted for joy when he said, "This vest stops bullets"!
As a society of believers, it seems that we have to spend way more time shooting down theories and criticisms of the bible than we do just teaching and learning it. I love this content. Not just Cold-case, but Frank Turek, Michael Heiser, Chuck Missler and many others who have devoted themselves to cutting out the confusion that higher criticism scoffers have caused but the truth is this.
Every person on Earth knows in their heart that God is the creator but suppress The truth in unrighteousness.
That’s true my friend. The Bible says that God has laid the truth about Him on their hearts so there is no excuse. “(19) “ For what may be known about God is plain to them , because God has made it plain to them. (20) For since the creation of the world’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse- Romans 1:19-20
I love this man’s teachings so mych❤
I agree all the eat!
37:06 “We have a process in place to return to the inerrant original”
Hallelujah! The Word made flesh (Jesus) is the process to return our fallen selves to the perfection we were created with in the garden.
I watched this last night and I’m rewatching it now! This was phenomenal! ❤️❤️
Thanks!
Whenever I feel down I just go back to my favorite verse Ezekiel 23:20
lol 🤦
I’ve watched this a couple of times. So powerful!
Thank you for the clear, evidential message you bring. The logical process, the imagery, everything is fantastic in presenting the evidence for Jesus. God bless!
You don't need to defend the bible.
If a person reads it and sees something they disagree with - they are denying themselves the opportunity to live eternally.
In other words ... the arrogant are going to remain ignorant - and they will die in their sin (delusion).
Those who acknowledge the authority of the Word of God - will embrace the eternal estate to establish their faith in Christ (Yáhusha).
They will enter eternal paradise with confidence and joy - which is the peace of Yâhusha.
This was fantastic, the best evidence I've heard about the truth of our Lord ,even though I'm a true believer I really loved this detective and how he explained the evidence. Just reconfirmed every thing I believe.
A must see. 🇬🇧✝️🙏🙏🙏
If the Bible's original copy had survived, nobody could believe.
Think of it. Someone would hold custody of the original copy. And alter it. And then proclaim: "You may not believe this ludicrous claim I made, but I have the original, and here's what it says. Disregard everyone else."
By destroying the original, God preserved the original.
I have said this before and i will say it again, Jim Is the man ! His unique approach to Christian apologetics has made a huge impact on my faith.
And with all these truths, I always think what about the Holy Spirit, alive and well today, so many testimonies still everyday… Jesus is the same, today, yesterday, and forever… it’s so so so good… any question I have… I ask the Holy Spirit and he shows you in ways that are sooooo crazy crying, trembling amazing… I can’t even tell my husband… sooooo amazing! I love you Jesus… the name says it all… when I hear the name Jesus Christ… I can’t even explain… not religion but his name…. He’s the Ultimate ….. ❤
Many people have always thought that we just followed grandma's religion but that was not true about me. As a 7 year old I simply looked up and asked if you are Jesus or someone else and I felt him say " follow the truth wherever it leads and don't do anything like murder or suicide and you will do alright " and Jesus Christ has been with me for 53 years and I thank God for his unspeakable gift and Jesus Christ for his life and the Holy Spirit for keeping me until he leaves this earth and takes us with him.
Wow 👏 Hallelujah Praise Jesus! U’re presentation & exposition is awesome using what’s supposedly normal critical examination to apply to Scriptures. May your tribe increase
“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:19 NKJV
Absolutely beautiful!! God bless you, your family and your show, you are a true man of wisdom!
This is awesome. Mr. Wallace. It was about 4 years ago I found you on UA-cam and your videos of Cold Case Christianity. They helped me in trusting who Jesus actually was/is and the realiability of the Bible. The Lord use you to help me bring me to knowledge, and faith of Christ. You have been such a blessing to me. Now being part of a ministry at my local Church, I would love to get information of having you one day come for a speaking event here in South Florida. Blessings
Awesome work, Mr. Wallace. Thank you.
Thank you for your continued work, Brother Jim . Always a blessing!
This video is fantastic. I've heard many iterations of your Cold Case presentation before, you even presented at my church about 7 years ago. I love your apologetics and hope to incorporate this form of presenting the evidence (along with other methods out there) in my own walk with Christ.
Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you so much for all the years of study that you have put in! I loved every minute of your teaching 😁
Stunning talk.
More necessary than we might want.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
His grace and mercy be upon you and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
The Bible defends itself. Everything will melt away but His Word stands forever.
Excellent!
This is enjoyable and informative
I remember all her Valentines.
For the last 33 years I have been doing the same in "Valentines ."
Nothing!
Great presentation! 😊Thank you.
The word of Yehweh doesn't need defending, it needs to be read, and understood, and mostly " obeyed ".
Obedience is the path to God, and a life worth living.
Very helpful. Thank you for uploading these and for what you are doing to help the followers of Christ reach others. God Bless you.
Thank you Wallace, Godbless.
Great work
Love the presentation
❤✝️🙏
Thank you for this message.
Thanks for listening
What a wonderful analysis. Indeed this is super interesting because only at this point in time could that sort of analysis really be done. Even 100 years ago the techniques described here weren't being used.
In reality the Bible is witnessed by every generation differently but what it says does not change as the brother here proved.
The minor variations in the manuscripts are no different than all the various versions of the Bibles we have today. 🙂
We get to choose which one we like best.
Hundreds of years from now people will defintely say the Bible writings dont all agree!😀
The Old Testament I believe is different in that the Scribes were to write every jot and tittle, every exact word from word. It was preserved meticulouslly all those years.
The Gospel chain of custody is crucial because it proves basic Christianity is true.
Atheism is doomed to detruction, it's nice to know.
Amazing.
Luv his book. ❤❤
My sheep hear my voice. You don't listen, you ain't a sheep.
Excellent session! No fluff. 👍👍
Very good brother!!! Hope one day you can come to charlotte !!!
A clear logical explanation.
I enjoyed your video brother but would like to add a caveat pertaining to people relying on a miracle to authenticate the messenger. Messiah warned us (Matthew 12:39) that “An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and there shall no sign be given to it, but that of the prophet Jonas.” The following scriptures prove that the false prophet will also come with signs & wonders. Deuteronomy 13:1-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, Revelation 13:14, 16:14 & 19:20. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Excellent.
Very interesting.
Brilliant!
Thanks!
Holy is God’s name!
Thank you
Outstanding !!! God bless you and yours Jim Warner till HE comes.
Gilly wife of Mark
Love it.
The Bible is the Word of God. It contains all of the Truth and wisdom in the world. The Bible is your sword and shield and your armor against all enemies. The Bible is the only authority.
Loveeee itt✝️✝️✝️
EVIDENCE BASED FAITH
The Bible is our sure anchor. Know the Word,to defend the Word.
It would have been awesome to be living in that time to see NT scripture being written and cannoned throughout the period of my lifetime
It was a time of persecution, scary time for early Christians
Jesus the Christ is the Living Word of God made flesh. We do not have to defend the Bible which had led us to recognise and embrace this fact, but to love and FOLLOW Him in ourselves as the true self. We defend the truth of the Bible by the witness of transformed lives. Not so much as moralistic religion but more Christ centred spirituality loving God and seeking His compassion and justice in the world. Have I arrived fully in that task? No but my experience is that I am dying daily so that His I AM in me may live. Shalom and Maranatha.🙏
Defending the goodness of God is defending the bible.
those languages back then they did not write the same as we do in chronological order these days. They organized their ideas differently. Also these people wrote in a “wide eyed trance” inspired of god. So we can know that it is all the word of god.
There are over 150 Bible translations in the world. There appears to be a new translation once every three years, each one declaring theirs is the "best and literal translation".
Which Bible?
Secons, there are no "four gospels". There is ONE gospel, told by four different men.
Third, you don't need to drill a hole in a tree that obviously bears good fruit. Do we have the fruits of the Spirit?
What do you mean by "150 Bible translations in the world?"
If I may ask a question about supposed contradictons in the ressurrection narrative, it is this: when we read that the four evangelists tell the story in different ways - with contradictions in many details -- big or small, how does an murder investigator view these problems? Are contradictions like in the gospels normal in an investigation, and do they strengthen or weaken the case?
Sorry for my not too good English. Knut in Norway
I would imagine he has a video on that subject. But some contradictions are not really there. If I and a friend see 1 red and 2 blue birds, but I focus on a particular red bird that I saw, eat a snake whole. Then my friend tells you there were 3 birds and they killed a snake by pecking it to death and he never mentions the one red bird eats the snake whole. Both stories are similar and have contradictions depending on your understanding of the author's intentions. But if you combined them then you would get the entire story. Three birds fight a snake and kill it then one red bird swallows it whole, not sharing it with his blue bird friends.
Thank you 🙏 excellent 👌
If it is upon every Christian to spread the gospel, then how does one do so when they are not public speakers, nor preachers nor a gospel singer? What if there has to be a way to spread the gospel without saying a word or being able to sing, your voice isn't something anyone wants to hear, but your duty is still before you? What are many of us to do to help our family, our community, our country? With each of these Techniques there are words added to the gospel.
So what if we can spread just the gospel, nothing added? It doesn't matter if you do as Jesus says and preach,or how God teaches and plant a seed. What if those who make quilts can put a prayer or the Sermon on the Mount in the quilt, giving whoever receives it a covering in the voice of Jesus? Or a hatband with the Ten Commandments in it to allow someone to wear the very voice of The Father? If one is sick can we give them a prayer in a gift and pray with them?
What if each of us worked together to spread the gospel and STOP with the downing of the way other Christians do their best to help us all? We have forgotten God in our deeds.
By binding The Word, as God describes in Deut. 6:8-9, any part of it, placing it in gifts and spreading the charity, God blessed each of us and gave us an abundance of things we no longer need or want and give with The Word added as a gift to another who has needs or wants? Plant the seed of God's Word.
Why can't we as Christians spread the gospel the only way we know how and be accepted by other Christians? We are one in our Lord Jesus Christ and some of us are not those who can speak or sing. There is more to the Body of Christ than just a mouth. What? Are we all talk and no action?
People need the love, hope, mercy, prayer, songs, peace etc. that is in the pages of the Holy Bible.The Word, The Truth will last forever. Let's use every gift of God and spread His Holy Spirit across our land. This is something we all can do. Whatever you do, wherever you go, find a way to add the Holy Spirit.
Psalms 119:151
Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
Luke 8:11
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
We have to plant seeds in order to reap a harvest. Where there is light, there is no darkness. Light up your world, spread the voice of God.
That is why the books written about our nations founding from around 1900 forward contained so many lies about our founding fathers. There is no one alive who could have had any first hand experience with anyone who could have known the any of the founders personally.
"Don't worry about the number of 6's in there"
😂😅😂😅😂😅😅
I loved this but also one thing Jesus talked about ALOT which I don’t see people mentioning because we are all sinners in the end in need of Jesus, is LOVE. We judge a lot and we need to discuss the times Jesus talked about loving sinners, and calling them to be with Jesus through love, as they would be open to finding out about God who died for them, because he loves them and wants to give them life, not because they will go to hell if they didn’t. This seems like a threat especially to people who are sinners as they would then accept that God hates them and continue living a sinful life because now they are not accepted by God as people tell them. But no God is the God of second chances and loves all. As Jesus sat with sinners and tax collectors, and he was called on for it, but he did it because he wanted the sinners to repent through his love for them, This is also Jesus character, he called us to follow his commandments and when asked what were they in the last supper he said to them my commandment to you is love God and love your neighbor.
41:40 Remark: Both Moses and Aron did miracles, e.g.: Exodus 7:12 Aaron (not Moses) rod swallowed up -- the rods of sorcerers of pharaoh; Exodus 7:19-20 Aaron (not Moses) took the rod, and river became blood; Exodus 8:6 Aaron (not Moses) stretched out -- his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered -- the land of Egypt. Exodus 8: 17 And they did so; for Aaron (not Moses) stretched out -- his hand with his rod, and smote -- the dust of the earth. Etc.
So did Paul
So, when did we finally have the correct word of God? Do we yet? Did God preserve his word and then hide it for eighteen hundred years?
1 Cor 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Imagine J Warner and Jordan Peterson as your teachers ? 😳
You don't defend a lion, you just turn it loose.
But you do pull down strongholds and anything else that sets itself up against the knowledge of Christ. (2 Cor 10)
Jesus was making a point in a lot of things he said if you read but yea Jesus is real for sure and he is God for sure
Ok..there is some serious problems when it comes to translations..
The bible is written throughout with symbolism and parables.
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1 Tim 1:4 (KJV)
To “rightly divide (separate) the word of truth” you must separate fact from fable, truth from tale, and principle from parable.
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Tim 4:4 (KJV)
Example;
When someone is tempted to do something that they know is wrong they have a little debate in their head and lie to themselves and make excuses to justify the action they want to take. Just like the story of Eve and the talking serpent. A talking serpent is a fable; 2 Tim 4:4 (KJV).
A talking serpent symbolic of the lust of the flesh; is truth.
Don’t take my word for it, or any bodies for that matter. Come to the bible (KJV) with a clean slate, and with sincere want for truth, and not to consume it upon your lusts, but that you may do true worship and obedience to God, with a repentant heart, and with reason and logic the spirit of God will teach.11 … in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 (KJV)
All glory to God. Amen
Not sure I agree with you that the talking serpent is fable, not literal. That a slippery slope because then WHO’S to say what’s literal or symbolic? Creation story, Bahlems donkey, Noah’s arc, etc. do you see the danger in that?
That's why I don't want an iphone
If the Bible is the perfect book, why do you want to defend it? Defend what and why?
You watched this video, and that's all you got?
Get thee behind us, Satan.
Kinda like saying if you are innocent why defend yourself?
The Bible is legit!
Siri is EVIL!!! I agree!!! 😂😂😂
We're to defend the word, not a version of a book! And the word of God isn't in any of those books either!
Not trying to be negative. My hats off to anyone that will stand but we are not called to defend God's word. He needs no defense but we sure need his. We are only called to proclaim his word. All these debates, arguments, etc. are futile. I DONT HAVE TO PROVE GODS WORD! You're playing into Satan's hand. Notice God has never argued with the devil in the Bible? From the first account in Genesis when the adversary raises into question what God hath said with eve, our creator doesn't take part in it. The more people argue with the world... the more pull they get. You either believe or not. Your choice.
You're right. Perhaps the word shouldn't be "defend" the Bible - but "present" the Bible to closed minds in a way that they can understand, logically?
This is good, many people want to be proven wrong about atheism just like me before I became a christian. Were the type to base things on facts
I do not have a cell phone...so don't go through all of this
I've been telling people that the Bible is not in the Bible 📖
King James Bible is the pure words of God
The original Hebrew and Greek texts are the pure words of God. There are known translation errors in the KJV.
The prophets were told what and how to write scripture, 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:20-21 (KJV). The bible was not written by people of perspective, opinion, and emotion.
There is a reason why Jesus is taken to the pinnacle of the temple first in Matthew and in Luke he is taken the high mountain first. There is a reason that in Matthew it says 40 days and 40 nights and in Luke it only says 40 days, there is a reason why in Luke Jesus's birth is heralded through out the land and then the family goes to their hometown and in Matthew the birth is more or less in secret and the family goes into exile. There is a reason why in Matthew "This is Jesus The King of the Jews" is written once and in Luke "This is the King of the Jews" is written in three languages. etc. etc.
Amen
Why would I defend the Bible? Pretty sure God can defend His own logos.
We can't defend the Bible. The Bible defends itself
What do you mean by that?
The naysayers come here and write their dimwitted, condescending remarks.
You watched this whole video, and unintelligent rebuttals is all you have?
If you can debunk Mr. Wallace here, DO SO.
If you can't, roll with him.
💯
Why did you censor the phrase "Forget about it"? Is there people that actually get offended about this? It's not surprising in this day and age.
