Every one of the apostles were martyred, dying the worst possible deaths you can imagine. Crucified upside down, thrown in boiling oil, skinned alive, beheaded, just about every awful way to go. Each one was asked to renounce Christ if they wanted to live. Not one did. Would you die the worst death imaginable for nothing? Something you knew for sure was a lie? I think not. Every one of them saw the risen Christ and refused to renounce Him.
This is baseless and doesn't mean anything. Lots of people throughout history were manipulated into cults and were willing to give their life up for a cause they thought was worth it, even if it meant death or pain. Doesn't make it true in any way. Invalid argument, fallacy in itself.
@@YoungMorroc that may be true but those who were manipulated wouldn’t have known the truth. If the disciples stole the body, then they would have known the truth. Those same men ran away and scattered when Jesus was arrested before being crucified. Do you really think after witnessing what He went through being beaten and crucified they suddenly decided that stealing his body and declaring that he had risen from the grave was worth being brutally killed over? That’s a tough sell in my opinion.
How can Joe say that he thinks ancient Egypt was the peak of technology and civilization?, and then say people at this time had no knowledge of things?
I thought the exact same thing it’s also funny how joe is obsessed with Egyptians creating “perfect “ circles despite PI being an irrational number just proves how dumb Joe actually is lol
I was living in hotels 5 years ago drinking my life away still lost in the war I fought in. I accepted Jesus Christ and am now a sober married homeowner. All I have to say. I tried everything that the earth had to get my mind back and was damn near at the end. After accepting and living for Jesus I’m a sober married homeowner.
Let the redeemed of The Lord say so. Never doubt that what you feel is real, because His presence is unmistakable and unexplainable. God bless you, let us all have eyes that see and ears that hear. 🙏✝️
Jesus is a lie. Jesus is the son of a god that commands genocides and genital mutilations. How can you worship genocidal genital mutilating psychopaths?
So the disciples stole the body, hid it, and then went on to die the worst martyrdoms ever recorded to fool people into believing in a lie? That’s real dedication to a lie.
@@PTRJONSIN ^^ Check and pray to make sure this is actually a helpful wording. This is from "The Message" Bible, a re-wording of the Bible whose author claims he wrote "playfully."
Either he is or he isn't. I personally believe that he is and my previous existence of fear, uncertainty and misery is no more. I have new found purpose. Thank God!
I say Jesus is real because the things that I have gone through and the things I personally experienced, there are no ways to explain, describe, or prove other than the coming to the conclusion that it was God himself
Life according to science is based on fear to keep us alive. To toss that built in feeling is simply losing your mind and abandoning thousands of years of evolution. So anyone who does, in this age is void of consequence. If you did this 1000k or even 500 years ago, could mean death. Enjoy your life, but you probably don’t got it right.
You cut the video before Chris replied to Joe's case to make it fair. One of the people who saw Jesus actually hated him and didn't want to see him. He was killing Christians for their belief cos he thought it was blasphemy. Then Jesus came to him and he became a believer. After that he started healing people just as Jesus did. His name was Paul. Best witness testimony there is of Jesus coming back from the dead.
There’s no best witness. There’s too many witnesses. How about James? Half brother of Jesus. Non-believer throughout his life. Then something happened. Ended up writing about events. Was martyred. Just look at who was at the cross when he died. Everyone thought it was a lie. Something happened after his death that compelled everyone to come out as lions.
But he does say all the time how we humans in the present world know so much, that we are intellectually superior to people of the past. That is a faulty position, and lacks humility. Pride comes right before the fall. You must know that we don’t “know” everything.
The Case for Christ is by Lee Strobel, Lee Strobel was an investigative journalist who worked in Chicago and was an editor for The Chicago Tribune. He started his research as an atheist because his wife became a christian and he hated it. He did his research in order to discredit his wife's new found faith and in doing so became a Christian himself, and wrote the book. This guy Distefano didn't say one thing that I just wrote about the book or the author. Has Joe Roagn read any parts of the Bible? Would that be disingenuous to make statements and accusations about Jesus and the Bible without due diligence? He also contradicts what he's stating. Examples being Lee Stroble is not ignorant. There has only been one Jesus, so you can't go by Occam's razor, He's a one of. The Pharisees heard and saw what Jesus did and was doing, and still they refuse to believe. Heres an Occams razor, the simplicity of who and why Jesus came is because of sin, and He is the only way to everlasting life, that He came, died, and rose again, dying for all sin, and whoever should believe in Him should have everlasting life. In any case, Joe should have more Biblical apologists like Steven Meyer, and William Lane Craig( in my opinion weren't truly genuinely open without reservation when they were on his show.) Maybe having Frank Turek, or J. Warner Wallace on his show.
I think having John Lennox, Frank Turek or even Lee Strobel himself. I personally think Frank Turek with a good 2 to 3 hours would break it right down. He might not even need that much time to do that.
@@trunorsemencrafts1369 And Hugh Ross, another astrophysicist. Also, what do you do with timeline's, Jesus' prophesies about the temple being torn down, and Bible prophecy in Jeremiah, Ezekiel, that Israel will be a nation again and they will come from all over the world. Praise Jesus!
So if Jesus was just a guy without any divine nature, that doesn’t explain the acts of his apostles in the aftermath of the crucifixion. They had to have seen and experienced something so profound that they shared this story in all corners of the known world at the time under constant threat of death where just prior to the crucifixion they were cowards, and willingly went to their gruesome deaths without hesitation or distress.
@@anthonydowney-uo2zo well, the point I’m making is more about the apostles themselves. They were not gods, but had witnessed the works of God enough to have absolute certainty that something better awaited them in the next life. Not a single one of them wavered in their belief over their lifetime, and most willfully went to their deaths for spreading the gospel.
@@iaddington I mean Christianity didn't invent martyrdom... Buddhist, Hindus, cynics, philosophers, essenes tons of people died for beliefs in altruism and spreading truth
@@anthonydowney-uo2zo again, not the point I’m making. In the gospels prior to the crucifixion, the apostles were cowards. They failed Jesus at every turn. Then after the crucifixion and resurrection, their backbones stiffened. Suddenly they were fearless. Why? Because they experienced something so significant that death was no concern for them.
The question I would ask… is if the Apostles stole the body and it’s a lie…. How many people will die the way they died for a lie? That many people, someone would have caved.
If a bunch on people said they saw aliens and were threatened with death if they didn’t stop taking about it and chose to die instead of stopping, Joe would be all on board how that proves it happened.
It’s annoying when Joe keeps trying to dismiss Jesus or talks about people that lived around that time like they were stupid and didn’t know what they were witnessing.
@@styx87 he’s dismissing them like they’re idiots and dont know what they saw or witnessed .. tell me who would die horrible deaths if they weren’t convinced what they saw was real ? But , nah, you know.. “ppl see the virgin Mary in grilled cheese sandwiches “ what a dumb comparison
Strobel would never dare to do that. He never talked about his beliefs with anyone who doesn’t already agree with him because his claims don’t hold up to the tiniest bit of scrutiny.
@@ramigilneas9274 sorry is not 1 book. It’s 66 books. Look I could share loads of information that led me to believe in Christ and personal experiences but at the end of the day I have seen that those that ask ‘Lord show me you are real’ and seek after Him find him. ‘Seek and you shall find’ The world is going to get really bad we haven’t seem anything yet but I can trust in His promises so I won’t fear. I hope one day you can check this statement ‘Come taste and see that the Lord is good, happy is the man that trusts in Him’ I wish you and your family the best 🙏🏼
Same thing can be said about other religions though, and you followed the wrong religion and it can be detrimental for the other religion that happens to be the true one
@@allenchang6185 that’s the whole point of Lewis’s quote, you can insert any religion into the quote and it’s still saying the same thing. I choose to say Christianity because I believe it’s the correct one.
@@jhamp81 yea It’s just some people tell others that there’s no risk of following but there’s risk of going to hell if it’s true therefore people should follow isn’t really making their cases, cause you can still go to different hell/bad afterlife for following the Christianity too if other religion is true, so I’d say risk is just as high follow or not
Joe is the type of guy to say scholars from 2,000 years ago didn't know shit when it came to the Bible, but then say Ancient Egyptians were super advanced and intelligent.
Or the apostles just stole the body to keep their fame and fortune running deep.. kinda how Peter became the most famous member of the Catholic Church. He created and perverted “catholicism” to his own political ideologies he could use to control people. Just as all the rest did. They clearly disagreed on way to many things for there to be a coherent message
Wish someone would actually go on JRE who can actually make a case. “500 people saw him.” Joe: “people see Mary in grilled cheese.” 500 people can’t hallucinate the same thing. People believe in miracles in order to disprove another miracle they don’t want to believe.
We have to remember that Chris is a comedian and although i'm not saying comedians cant be theologists or apologists of Christianity - we can see here that Chris is not the best suited to articulate but, his efforts are definitely appreciative none-the-less. Joe needs to get a real apologist/theologian like Dr. Frank Turek on there.
I just think it’s funny how people believe that there was a random “big bang” that just randomly occurred for no reason and that was able to create a planet that just happens to be the perfect environment for human being to survive. That it has a sun which is just apparently some random star and a moon that orbit around this planet regulating the temperature and the tides. People believe all of that just happened randomly? It seems to me much more believable that there was a architect behind these things.
Yes.. and it just so happens to be that the sun and moon, although vastly different in size, are exactly the same size when viewed from earth (as is apparent in an eclipse) because they just happen to be "placed" at perfect distances from us in some crazy happy coincidence.
It comes down to the extraordinariness of the claims and stories about them. An outlandish claim about Alexander is believable because it’s fun to believe and otherwise has little to no bearing on our lives. However, the outlandish claims about Jesus are apparently the most important facts about history (if true). Chris kept talking about how 500 people saw Jesus resurrect. Do we have their names and proof of their existence? Did they all write it down? No and no… the only support comes from the Bible and literally nowhere else.
@maddhopps there's plenty of support for it other than the Bible. Alexander is no more fun to believe than Jesus 🤣 you can't speak for everybody on that one. Unless you're just speaking for atheists.
@Christoph-hc2xr great so we believe that but not Jesus? How about the Spartans leaving a new born baby out in the woods to be exposed to cold, hunger and predators. Of course we are expected to believe that because the ones who "survived" could be deemed fit for Spartan culture. Stuff of legend of course.
He was our brother. In my belief I’m not into or don’t care the Abrahamic religions. They were made to divide in my opinion into 3 hence the father son and Holy Spirit
Depends who you ask back then. Christian’s would say yes, but other (except for some Jewish sects) Abrahamic religions say no. Gnostics would say it’s metaphorical.
The Bible mentions that 500 people saw Jesus after he resurrected, yet we have no idea who these people are. There are no testimonials from these people. It was just written as part of the story.
Joe doesn't understand that most of life goes along where everything seems to happen naturally but there are times that God steps in a supernatural way. And as an edit: when Joe moved to Texas he stated that whatever Texas is doing to make it great, that's what I want keep doing it and he immediately goes off on his child getting taught about Christ in school and says that he doesn't want his kid being taught that. Well, you don't want what made Texas great after all.
Uh.. or the gun laws, self defense laws, taxes, etc. trust me God has NOTHING to do with Texas being great. If anything there’d just be more rape crimes from priests molesting them
One important thing about the tomb that wasn't mentioned, was that the tomb was being guarded by Roman soliders, day and night when the tomb was found empty. If the disciples or anybody else came and stole the body, the soliders would've seen/stopped them.
@@Ryan88881 the historians weren't there, at the time of these events, but we have 4 different accounts from people who were actually there. The same 4 who were later put to death in a brutal fashion, nobody would die a brutal death for a lie, let alone 4 different people for the same lie.
@@smokinjoe90 The fact that you think they would die a brutal death even if it WAS real says it all because that premise still makes absolutely no sense.
I think he's calling out the apparent hypocrisy/ double standard. Rogan has professed many beliefs that have very little or unreliable hisoricity, and some with otherworldly/supernatural claims and yet can't fathom how the Christian story could possibly be true.
Thing is, most people can subscribe to the idea Jesus lived and was a 'good guy', but as soon as you say He was God or seriously consider the resurrection they emotionally can't bear the thought, all while holding plenty of other unprovable ideas about reality. Perhaps that's because Jesus as risen saviour necessarily forces one off the fence. You can't claim neutral or ignorance is either yay or ney with very serious consequences. But that doesn't make it any less plausible, given the evidence.
Ray Comfort logic. 🫣. Even so, if there is a creator, why yours instead of one of the THOUSANDS of gods men have believed in since humans have walked the earth??? 🤔
@Tbone.357 thousands of fake gods only one true and living God. The problem is people don't want to to know the true God because then they would have to obey.
But it's crazy people believe just cause and live there life based of stuff 2000 years ago. Completely mind boggling. My favorite anti religion line is " how fortunate you were born into the country you are, that you were born into the right religion" . Lol that always cracks me up. Every Christian just knows it's the right one , just like every Muslim knows it's the right one , just like every , hindu or every religion from every part of the world feels just like you do now. My religion is right yours is wrong. " How fortunate you were born into the right country at the right time "
Joe is asking important questions and challenging cultural norms. Guess what - JESUS DID THE SAME THING! Jesus was more than a “great guy who said nice things”. In fact, if He isn’t who He claimed to be, His words are the ravings of a complete madman. He claimed to be God. That’s what drove His own people into a murderous frenzy. The whole of HIs message was revolution. It was counter-culture and it made people think on a deeper level than ever before. Looking at Jesus’ life in light of His deity is the only way to make sense of Him and truly, of life itself. Prayers to all who seek - that you will find. Life is better with Jesus.
I think Joe needs to believe it's myth because if he had to take a deep look into himself I don't think he'd like what God expects out of us.For all thave fallen short of the glory of God. We are all sinners and we all need Christ. Knock and the door will be open. We are all children of Adam
It’s simple my granddad is 80 something years old I sit up all day and talk about his life and how life was before the 80’s and I am going to be able to tell my grandkids that story in 2065
That’s kinda how God works tho, he defies all logic. He is above all. Out side of space and time and the laws of physics. He is all powerful so resurrection would not be off limits. Things that are impossible for us to understand and do are nothing for God. He’s God. God. He can literally do anything because he is literally God. That’s the explanation. You can’t have a scientific or logical explanation. Well actually, the logic being, that he is God so he can do anything. That is the most logical explanation. We cannot resurrect from the dead, but God can. And that’s it. End of story. Either you accept that or you don’t. But remember, if you decide to live your live separate from God then don’t be surprised when he grants you that wish once you die. Eternity just is. There is no more time in eternity. That concept is gone. So choose wisely.
25 million children under 5 die every year . Most of them are in the " wrong religion" , out of 7 to 8 billion people the vast majority of them are not Christian, and according to your beliefs. The vast majority of them are going to hell when they die for no fault of their own for just being born in the wrong part of the world. If you think that is right and ok then you are blind
"The likelihood of someone coming back to life is very low..." That's the point. If God were to come down how else would he prove himself as God? If not to bend the laws physical laws that he made? What Jesus didn't bend was the metaphysical laws that he made, morality for instance. Those laws he did not bend but rather obeyed perfectly because we weren't able to, in order that we might live as someone who did. That's why he died.
No, it definitely doesn’t. It’s written by a dishonest professional apologist who is routinely corrected, but absolutely refuses to acknowledge the challenges laid out. For example, precisely zero contemporaries of Jesus wrote anything down about him. The earliest manuscript we have is a copy of a copy of Mark written at least half a century after Jesus supposedly died.
@@highpriestofgavinalmightyh1304 Then thats positive evidence along with geological evidence, time and place, church fathers, gospels of similar perspectives, etc. There's more evidence pointing towards than there is pointing away from. Especially, in relation with historical aspects that live outside of the biblical scripture lined up to the timeline. I think the hard part that people cant get passed is that there was an immaculate conception and that there was a resurrection from death. Both instances are incredibly improbable if not impossible and thats why the explanation is Divine, miracle - supernatural. Human beings who havent gone through all of the evidence cannot comprehend such an event without having to of been there physically.
@@trunorsemencrafts1369 to come to that conclusion, you had to ignore everything laid out. Even when we take translations of the Bible from over 600 years ago that were written in the old English prior to the modern English of 1611, texts convey different meanings. Then there is the issue that Protestants and Catholics can’t agree on the authenticity of certain texts. I’m fine with you liking the Bible (which ever version) as it is written today, but there is no need to resort to intellectual dishonesty to try and claim that a copy of a copy of a copy of an interpreted copy of a reinterpreted copy of a copy is 90 something percent unchanged from original texts we don’t even have according to “scholars“ most cannot even name. That doesn’t even get into the problem of interpolation overtime which is entirely distinct from interpretation. Generations of people who never wrote anything down listened intently to and repeated fantastical stories. It is still a colossal game of telephone, and in eras before mass literacy. We see discrepancies between the version of the Bible considered canon today, and the oldest copies of copies we have in possession of the original manuscripts. We have dogmatically opposing interpretations of the Bible because the Bible was written by largely anonymous authors who lived at different times, and the various books of the Bible are copies of copies of copies of copies translated over and over again into multiple languages. We have copies of copies of the Hindu Vedas. They have lasted up til today, and they pre-date Christianity and Judaism. Does that make them true? Comparing copies of copies of copies does nothing but give us different perspectives on those copies. It also helps inform us of the misspellings, grammatical errors, and outright changes made throughout the copying process. The Codex Sinaiticus is one of the oldest Bible manuscripts in existence (the other being the Codex Vaticanus). It was produced in about the 4th century AD. In addition to missing several books of the Old Testament, the New Testament has additional books: the Shepherd of Hermas, and the Epistle of Barnabas. This demonstrates that in the mid-4th century when the codex was produced, those books were considered canon by many Christians. While the Christian canon was forming, there were still differences of opinion on what was “God’s word” and what wasn’t.
According to the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew, Pontius Pilate approved a request from the Pharisees and chief priests to station a guard at Jesus's tomb after his crucifixion and entombment. The guard was either Roman or Jewish, and other precautions included a large stone blocking the tomb's entrance and a Roman seal. The seal was a soft, moldable substance, likely clay, that was attached to the stone with rope and imprinted with the Roman imperial seal. Breaking the seal would have angered the Empire, even if someone managed to get past the guards.
He’s getting all of his information from the Bible. There isn’t any other information about Jesus outside of the Bible that’s what the main problem is. When he keeps the Roman’s say this and the Roman’s said that they said it in the bible
The only outside information we have of Jesus was that he was a jew who claimed to be the messiah and was crucified. You're right, we have no other historical documents that mention his birth or life. Not even the Paul mentions the early life of Jesus and he actually met Jesus' siblings and disciples.
All the writers of New Testament wrote what they witnessed before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. The separate writings were gathered together and placed into chapters or books of the Bible later.
I thinks it’s widely agreed that Jesus was a real historical person, and I believe in his divinity but Chris doesn’t sound very educated on this topic and how to explain it it sounds like he skimmed a book or watched a video explaining it, he should have prepared better for this if he was gonna speak on this😊
@@Kinesiology411 any supporting evidence for this, I’ve seen plenty of unbiased even atheist researchers agree he was a real human being, it sounds like you have a bias though. I’ll wait for any evidence you have where respected people agree he didn’t live.
@@Kinesiology411 ruclips.net/video/vxuqSg4f7yY/видео.htmlsi=Hmmg6-MKIgZ7pbOn this is just a quick one I found, a respected guys research who isn’t trying to prove he is real. If you don’t accept this video I think clearly you have your own biases and doesn’t really matter what I say, you’re already set in your belief that he wasn’t a real person, if that’s so just admit it or not either way hope u have a great week and everything is going good in your life genuinely, love
@@Japangf2345 sure, do the research. Guess what, Christians tend to "prove" this myth is real, lol. People who aren't Christian tend to say nope. He did not exist. At all. It's a fantasy designed to control dumb people. Nothing more.
Joe saying that all those people back then believed in mythological stuff… they didn’t… the Jews were the last people to think that a resurrection could occur and that it would happen to the son of God. Many Jews like the Sadduccees didn’t think it was possible but then became Christ followers after it
Sure, the followers of Jesus lived in a greek society and adopted many of those beliefs. That’s why Jesus became the hellenistic Messiah who didn’t have much in common with the expectations that Jews had of their savior.
It is difficult to prove a historic person really existed, but just think about how the days everyone of us are living started counting the day Jesus was born. Wouldn’t that mean something?
Christ Arose... He arose and they suffered rather than renounce him. They happily marched towards suffering, torture and death rather than renounce a risen Jesus Christ. Hallelujah i believe!
@MrCoolBeans-jg7dc "And when I was sent by Titus Cesar, with Cerealius, and a thousand horsemen, to a certain village called Thecoa, in order to know whether it were a place fit for a camp; as I came back I saw many captives crucified: and remembered three of them, as my former acquaintance. I was very sorry at this in my mind; and went with tears in my eyes to Titus, and told him of them. So he immediately commanded them to be taken down, and to have the greatest care taken of them in order to their recovery. Yet two of them died under the physicians hands while the third recovered."
First I want to say I will pray for yall, second All of you non believers when you face the lord will be told I sent you signs. People talked about me and you still didint believe. You have to believe that he died for you. Cause he did. Once you believe there’s no looking back and the feeling is amazing.
I agree! The telephone game is a weak unrealistic argument. What was said at the end of the telephone game is only different from what was said at the beginning because of the fact that they are whispering the words into the next person's ear, which makes it sometimes impossible to hear what was said. If you were to have all of those people playing the game stand outside a room with one person inside the room to start off. Then have the second person come into the room and hear the first person say, "monkeys love bananas". Then have the first person leave the room and the third person come into the room and hear the second person say what they heard from the first person, and so on down to the last person - that last person is going to say, " monkeys love bananas. Analogies can only explain your opinion on a situation, but can never act as evidence!
Romans said so because they were under pressure of accountability of Jesus's body, when they couldn't found even after searching. And there's no reason for apostles to take the body and not one of them did confirmed they took it.
@@boojeboy1 I wasn't saying he wasn't? Just that Alexander was famous during his lifetime so to make out that someone made stuff up 2 hundred years later isn't telling the whole truth.
Also Jesus could be a twin and the death of his brother was a way to prove their religion was real. Identical twins have been around for human history.
Joe Rogan needs to have on Dr. Gary Habermas to give him the real in depth history that proves that Jesus was indeed resurrected. Rogan has only discussed this on the podcast with people on the periphery trying to regurgitate the facts from Dr. Habermas, but not the true LIVING expert that has studied this for over 50 yrs. If you want to actually dive into the resurrection, debate the historical data, and get an education then have Dr. Habermas on the podcast. Also read ‘The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus’ by Gary Habermas.
why not have Lee Strobel on and talk to him about his book so that he can better explain it to you. He is the one who interviewed all these different theologians. He can explain how the Pharisees had the Roman soldiers guard the tomb. This well intended man is not doing a good job explaining himself. If you want a real discussion about the subject that is.
Uh excuse me not that smart?? Greek philosophers were around 300-400 year before Christ and they were relatively intelligent!! I fully understand not everyone was a raving intellect but it was far from the dark ages!!
I’ve read the book. He’s right, without a Christian angle, the book proves 100% that Christ lived, etc… The Alexander the Great twist is that, without him having conquered the known world “PRIOR” to Christ, everyone would have not known the same language.
Christians dont have to prove God exists, God takes care of that, two things prove God. The knowledge of creation and your conscience.. aint nobody going to get to judgment day and say sorry there just wasnt enough evidence..
As a Christian I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree with the guest about the 500 eyewitnesses. We don’t have individual accounts, the bible says that he appeared to 500 people. While I believe this, the idea that we know exactly who all these witnesses were is false
The amount of proof I would need to think someone in the past was called Alaxander the Great is a lot less than what I would need to think someone is a god.
At that time, Roman were one of the best soldiers in the whole world, so a bunch of guys, mostly with no training as Warriors, beat them Rob the body, and the Said to everyone that Jesus Rose from the dead... After that, ALL OF THEM were persecute for saying Thais "lie", and ALL OF THEM got killed and tortured, because of This and never ever denied Jesus... Ive never see, anyone that would be tortured and killed, because of a lie.
Love whenever this dudes on JRE and speaking of Jesus, I just wish sometimes I was there to help him with some things Joe ask that he can’t answer or can’t find the right words for 😂 that’s just the Christian in us though, and I’m not claiming to be an expert or theologian. Still, love Chris for trying to spread the Word 🙏
Every one of the apostles were martyred, dying the worst possible deaths you can imagine. Crucified upside down, thrown in boiling oil, skinned alive, beheaded, just about every awful way to go. Each one was asked to renounce Christ if they wanted to live. Not one did. Would you die the worst death imaginable for nothing? Something you knew for sure was a lie? I think not. Every one of them saw the risen Christ and refused to renounce Him.
Very interesting point but what we ought to make of these extremist muslims that would die the same way i a heartbeat?
Being willing to die for your beliefs doesnt make them any more valid. Jim jones followers also drank the kool aid
This is baseless and doesn't mean anything. Lots of people throughout history were manipulated into cults and were willing to give their life up for a cause they thought was worth it, even if it meant death or pain. Doesn't make it true in any way. Invalid argument, fallacy in itself.
@@YoungMorroc that may be true but those who were manipulated wouldn’t have known the truth. If the disciples stole the body, then they would have known the truth. Those same men ran away and scattered when Jesus was arrested before being crucified.

That’s a tough sell in my opinion.

Life according to science is based on fear to keep us alive. To toss that built in feeling is simply losing your mind and abandoning thousands of years of evolution. So anyone who does, in this age is void of consequence. If you did this 1000k or even 500 years ago, could mean death. Enjoy your life, but you probably don’t got it right.
Fearing Jesus seems like a threat ..that's what the devil would do not someone who doesn't fight back and forgives.
@@EBC-Bro No, not fearing Jesus. FEAR from living in the world and being of the world and NOT knowing HIM.
You cut the video before Chris replied to Joe's case to make it fair. One of the people who saw Jesus actually hated him and didn't want to see him. He was killing Christians for their belief cos he thought it was blasphemy. Then Jesus came to him and he became a believer. After that he started healing people just as Jesus did. His name was Paul. Best witness testimony there is of Jesus coming back from the dead.
There’s no best witness. There’s too many witnesses. How about James? Half brother of Jesus. Non-believer throughout his life. Then something happened. Ended up writing about events. Was martyred.
Just look at who was at the cross when he died. Everyone thought it was a lie. Something happened after his death that compelled everyone to come out as lions.
Paul was a sociopathic liar who wanted fame and fortune.. not one to be taken seriously
Paul is ludicrous and is a fictional, typological character.
Paul never met Jesus.
He was the Joseph Smith of his time.
@@TrayvonJones952 oh please spare us your biassed hatred. Paul was fictitious after writing 15 books sh..ut up mor...on

He doesn’t believe whole heartedly in aliens.
But he does say all the time how we humans in the present world know so much, that we are intellectually superior to people of the past. That is a faulty position, and lacks humility. Pride comes right before the fall. You must know that we don’t “know” everything.
The Case for Christ is by Lee Strobel, Lee Strobel was an investigative journalist who worked in Chicago and was an editor for The Chicago Tribune. He started his research as an atheist because his wife became a christian and he hated it. He did his research in order to discredit his wife's new found faith and in doing so became a Christian himself, and wrote the book. This guy Distefano didn't say one thing that I just wrote about the book or the author. Has Joe Roagn read any parts of the Bible? Would that be disingenuous to make statements and accusations about Jesus and the Bible without due diligence? He also contradicts what he's stating. Examples being Lee Stroble is not ignorant. There has only been one Jesus, so you can't go by Occam's razor, He's a one of. The Pharisees heard and saw what Jesus did and was doing, and still they refuse to believe. Heres an Occams razor, the simplicity of who and why Jesus came is because of sin, and He is the only way to everlasting life, that He came, died, and rose again, dying for all sin, and whoever should believe in Him should have everlasting life. In any case, Joe should have more Biblical apologists like Steven Meyer, and William Lane Craig( in my opinion weren't truly genuinely open without reservation when they were on his show.) Maybe having Frank Turek, or J. Warner Wallace on his show.
I think having John Lennox, Frank Turek or even Lee Strobel himself. I personally think Frank Turek with a good 2 to 3 hours would break it right down. He might not even need that much time to do that.
@@trunorsemencrafts1369 And Hugh Ross, another astrophysicist. Also, what do you do with timeline's, Jesus' prophesies about the temple being torn down, and Bible prophecy in Jeremiah, Ezekiel, that Israel will be a nation again and they will come from all over the world.
Praise Jesus!
Joe is stirring the pot to get more views. Jesus was and still is alive . As long as people are talking about Him, He is alive.
So if Jesus was just a guy without any divine nature, that doesn’t explain the acts of his apostles in the aftermath of the crucifixion. They had to have seen and experienced something so profound that they shared this story in all corners of the known world at the time under constant threat of death where just prior to the crucifixion they were cowards, and willingly went to their gruesome deaths without hesitation or distress.
Good point!
I mean philosophers died for there beliefs and became martyrs at times and didn't think they were God or believe in God...
@@anthonydowney-uo2zo well, the point I’m making is more about the apostles themselves. They were not gods, but had witnessed the works of God enough to have absolute certainty that something better awaited them in the next life. Not a single one of them wavered in their belief over their lifetime, and most willfully went to their deaths for spreading the gospel.
@@iaddington I mean Christianity didn't invent martyrdom... Buddhist, Hindus, cynics, philosophers, essenes tons of people died for beliefs in altruism and spreading truth
@@anthonydowney-uo2zo again, not the point I’m making. In the gospels prior to the crucifixion, the apostles were cowards. They failed Jesus at every turn. Then after the crucifixion and resurrection, their backbones stiffened. Suddenly they were fearless. Why? Because they experienced something so significant that death was no concern for them.
Wow, there’s so many people in this comment section that still believe in Jesus and God. God is real. God bless you all brothers and sisters.
Chris has a magical way of pronouncing “Jeez Us”
lol
The question I would ask… is if the Apostles stole the body and it’s a lie…. How many people will die the way they died for a lie?
That many people, someone would have caved.
agree the deaths were gruesome
If a bunch on people said they saw aliens and were threatened with death if they didn’t stop taking about it and chose to die instead of stopping, Joe would be all on board how that proves it happened.
Or… someone else removed the body and the disciples didn’t know that it was a lie.
It’s that easy.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved .
It’s annoying when Joe keeps trying to dismiss Jesus or talks about people that lived around that time like they were stupid and didn’t know what they were witnessing.
He's dismissing the supernatural aspect, not that Jesus never existed.

Joe is the type of guy to say scholars from 2,000 years ago didn't know shit when it came to the Bible, but then say Ancient Egyptians were super advanced and intelligent.
This is actually so true and hilarious 😂
Joe says resurrection is highly improbable. That’s the point though, it’s a miracle. If it were probable, it wouldn’t be a miracle.
Or the apostles just stole the body to keep their fame and fortune running deep.. kinda how Peter became the most famous member of the Catholic Church. He created and perverted “catholicism” to his own political ideologies he could use to control people. Just as all the rest did. They clearly disagreed on way to many things for there to be a coherent message

“500 people saw him.”
Joe: “people see Mary in grilled cheese.”
500 people can’t hallucinate the same thing. People believe in miracles in order to disprove another miracle they don’t want to believe.
You don’t have an account where 500 people saw the same thing.
We have to remember that Chris is a comedian and although i'm not saying comedians cant be theologists or apologists of Christianity - we can see here that Chris is not the best suited to articulate but, his efforts are definitely appreciative none-the-less. Joe needs to get a real apologist/theologian like Dr. Frank Turek on there.
I just think it’s funny how people believe that there was a random “big bang” that just randomly occurred for no reason and that was able to create a planet that just happens to be the perfect environment for human being to survive. That it has a sun which is just apparently some random star and a moon that orbit around this planet regulating the temperature and the tides. People believe all of that just happened randomly? It seems to me much more believable that there was a architect behind these things.
Kudos!
Yes.. and it just so happens to be that the sun and moon, although vastly different in size, are exactly the same size when viewed from earth (as is apparent in an eclipse) because they just happen to be "placed" at perfect distances from us in some crazy happy coincidence.

I use that analogy all the time. People believe the history of Alexander the Great or Spartan lifestyle over Jesus.
It comes down to the extraordinariness of the claims and stories about them. An outlandish claim about Alexander is believable because it’s fun to believe and otherwise has little to no bearing on our lives. However, the outlandish claims about Jesus are apparently the most important facts about history (if true).
Chris kept talking about how 500 people saw Jesus resurrect. Do we have their names and proof of their existence? Did they all write it down? No and no… the only support comes from the Bible and literally nowhere else.
@maddhopps there's plenty of support for it other than the Bible. Alexander is no more fun to believe than Jesus 🤣 you can't speak for everybody on that one. Unless you're just speaking for atheists.
Cities were constructed and named after the conquest of Alexander the Great.
@Christoph-hc2xr great so we believe that but not Jesus? How about the Spartans leaving a new born baby out in the woods to be exposed to cold, hunger and predators. Of course we are expected to believe that because the ones who "survived" could be deemed fit for Spartan culture. Stuff of legend of course.
@@zacharyoverlien6050 I don't know anyone claiming legendary tales about Sparta are historical, except you. The story of Jesus is also fictional.
No doubt that Jesus was a real person. Not dure why its even discussed. Real question is was he just a guy or the son of God
He was our brother. In my belief I’m not into or don’t care the Abrahamic religions. They were made to divide in my opinion into 3 hence the father son and Holy Spirit
Depends who you ask back then. Christian’s would say yes, but other (except for some Jewish sects) Abrahamic religions say no. Gnostics would say it’s metaphorical.

I really hope Rogan can get Richard Carrier on.
Thing is all of Jesus Christ biography was written 2000, 1500, 800, and 500 years before he was here.
The Bible mentions that 500 people saw Jesus after he resurrected, yet we have no idea who these people are. There are no testimonials from these people. It was just written as part of the story.
YES! It's all fiction, a story created to control a growing faction of potentially rebellious J*ws, and my oh my how well the deception worked, lol
Joe doesn't understand that most of life goes along where everything seems to happen naturally but there are times that God steps in a supernatural way.
And as an edit: when Joe moved to Texas he stated that whatever Texas is doing to make it great, that's what I want keep doing it and he immediately goes off on his child getting taught about Christ in school and says that he doesn't want his kid being taught that.
Well, you don't want what made Texas great after all.
Uh.. or the gun laws, self defense laws, taxes, etc. trust me God has NOTHING to do with Texas being great. If anything there’d just be more rape crimes from priests molesting them
One important thing about the tomb that wasn't mentioned, was that the tomb was being guarded by Roman soliders, day and night when the tomb was found empty. If the disciples or anybody else came and stole the body, the soliders would've seen/stopped them.

What would the 42 Laws of Ma'at have to do with Jesus? Genuinely asking.
I think he's calling out the apparent hypocrisy/ double standard. Rogan has professed many beliefs that have very little or unreliable hisoricity, and some with otherworldly/supernatural claims and yet can't fathom how the Christian story could possibly be true.
Thing is, most people can subscribe to the idea Jesus lived and was a 'good guy', but as soon as you say He was God or seriously consider the resurrection they emotionally can't bear the thought, all while holding plenty of other unprovable ideas about reality.
Perhaps that's because Jesus as risen saviour necessarily forces one off the fence. You can't claim neutral or ignorance is either yay or ney with very serious consequences.
But that doesn't make it any less plausible, given the evidence.
Jesus not was but IS living.
If anyone could show 100% undeniable proof, it would remove the need for Belief. I think belief is the whole point, right? Faith.
You get it

6:50 so mass hallucinations is the explanation. SMH. People don't die for hallucinations. And people won't die for something they know to be a lie.
Sure, both of those things are highly unlikely… but a billion times more likely than a resurrection.
Joe is asking important questions and challenging cultural norms. Guess what - JESUS DID THE SAME THING! Jesus was more than a “great guy who said nice things”. In fact, if He isn’t who He claimed to be, His words are the ravings of a complete madman. He claimed to be God. That’s what drove His own people into a murderous frenzy. The whole of HIs message was revolution. It was counter-culture and it made people think on a deeper level than ever before. Looking at Jesus’ life in light of His deity is the only way to make sense of Him and truly, of life itself. Prayers to all who seek - that you will find. Life is better with Jesus.
I think Joe needs to believe it's myth because if he had to take a deep look into himself I don't think he'd like what God expects out of us.For all thave fallen short of the glory of God. We are all sinners and we all need Christ. Knock and the door will be open. We are all children of Adam
I agree
I think that most people who convert to Christianity are just criminals who have much much lower moral standards than even the worst Atheist.
It’s simple my granddad is 80 something years old I sit up all day and talk about his life and how life was before the 80’s and I am going to be able to tell my grandkids that story in 2065
That’s kinda how God works tho, he defies all logic. He is above all. Out side of space and time and the laws of physics. He is all powerful so resurrection would not be off limits. Things that are impossible for us to understand and do are nothing for God. He’s God. God. He can literally do anything because he is literally God. That’s the explanation. You can’t have a scientific or logical explanation. Well actually, the logic being, that he is God so he can do anything. That is the most logical explanation. We cannot resurrect from the dead, but God can. And that’s it. End of story. Either you accept that or you don’t. But remember, if you decide to live your live separate from God then don’t be surprised when he grants you that wish once you die. Eternity just is. There is no more time in eternity. That concept is gone. So choose wisely.

"The likelihood of someone coming back to life is very low..." That's the point. If God were to come down how else would he prove himself as God? If not to bend the laws physical laws that he made?
What Jesus didn't bend was the metaphysical laws that he made, morality for instance. Those laws he did not bend but rather obeyed perfectly because we weren't able to, in order that we might live as someone who did. That's why he died.
No, it definitely doesn’t. It’s written by a dishonest professional apologist who is routinely corrected, but absolutely refuses to acknowledge the challenges laid out.
For example, precisely zero contemporaries of Jesus wrote anything down about him. The earliest manuscript we have is a copy of a copy of Mark written at least half a century after Jesus supposedly died.
Great point!!!
If that is correct - and im saying it is or isnt - does the copy of a copy disprove Yesua (Jesus) existence?
@@trunorsemencrafts1369 it’s up to those making positive claims to provide positive evidence.
@@highpriestofgavinalmightyh1304 Then thats positive evidence along with geological evidence, time and place, church fathers, gospels of similar perspectives, etc. There's more evidence pointing towards than there is pointing away from. Especially, in relation with historical aspects that live outside of the biblical scripture lined up to the timeline. I think the hard part that people cant get passed is that there was an immaculate conception and that there was a resurrection from death. Both instances are incredibly improbable if not impossible and thats why the explanation is Divine, miracle - supernatural. Human beings who havent gone through all of the evidence cannot comprehend such an event without having to of been there physically.
@@trunorsemencrafts1369 to come to that conclusion, you had to ignore everything laid out.
Even when we take translations of the Bible from over 600 years ago that were written in the old English prior to the modern English of 1611, texts convey different meanings.
Then there is the issue that Protestants and Catholics can’t agree on the authenticity of certain texts.
I’m fine with you liking the Bible (which ever version) as it is written today, but there is no need to resort to intellectual dishonesty to try and claim that a copy of a copy of a copy of an interpreted copy of a reinterpreted copy of a copy is 90 something percent unchanged from original texts we don’t even have according to “scholars“ most cannot even name.
That doesn’t even get into the problem of interpolation overtime which is entirely distinct from interpretation.
Generations of people who never wrote anything down listened intently to and repeated fantastical stories. It is still a colossal game of telephone, and in eras before mass literacy.
We see discrepancies between the version of the Bible considered canon today, and the oldest copies of copies we have in possession of the original manuscripts.
We have dogmatically opposing interpretations of the Bible because the Bible was written by largely anonymous authors who lived at different times, and the various books of the Bible are copies of copies of copies of copies translated over and over again into multiple languages.
We have copies of copies of the Hindu Vedas. They have lasted up til today, and they pre-date Christianity and Judaism. Does that make them true?
Comparing copies of copies of copies does nothing but give us different perspectives on those copies. It also helps inform us of the misspellings, grammatical errors, and outright changes made throughout the copying process.
The Codex Sinaiticus is one of the oldest Bible manuscripts in existence (the other being the Codex Vaticanus).
It was produced in about the 4th century AD.
In addition to missing several books of the Old Testament, the New Testament has additional books: the Shepherd of Hermas, and the Epistle of Barnabas.
This demonstrates that in the mid-4th century when the codex was produced, those books were considered canon by many Christians.
While the Christian canon was forming, there were still differences of opinion on what was “God’s word” and what wasn’t.
According to the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew, Pontius Pilate approved a request from the Pharisees and chief priests to station a guard at Jesus's tomb after his crucifixion and entombment. The guard was either Roman or Jewish, and other precautions included a large stone blocking the tomb's entrance and a Roman seal. The seal was a soft, moldable substance, likely clay, that was attached to the stone with rope and imprinted with the Roman imperial seal. Breaking the seal would have angered the Empire, even if someone managed to get past the guards.
He’s getting all of his information from the Bible. There isn’t any other information about Jesus outside of the Bible that’s what the main problem is. When he keeps the Roman’s say this and the Roman’s said that they said it in the bible
Thats not true at all. Read the Case for the Christ!
Precisely. It's all bs from the Bible and heresay hundreds of years later, lol.
Never happened.
@MrCoolBeans-jg7dc lol, false. It's all fiction.
The only outside information we have of Jesus was that he was a jew who claimed to be the messiah and was crucified. You're right, we have no other historical documents that mention his birth or life.
Not even the Paul mentions the early life of Jesus and he actually met Jesus' siblings and disciples.
All the writers of New Testament wrote what they witnessed before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. The separate writings were gathered together and placed into chapters or books of the Bible later.
I thinks it’s widely agreed that Jesus was a real historical person, and I believe in his divinity but Chris doesn’t sound very educated on this topic and how to explain it it sounds like he skimmed a book or watched a video explaining it, he should have prepared better for this if he was gonna speak on this😊

Joe saying that all those people back then believed in mythological stuff… they didn’t… the Jews were the last people to think that a resurrection could occur and that it would happen to the son of God. Many Jews like the Sadduccees didn’t think it was possible but then became Christ followers after it
Sure, the followers of Jesus lived in a greek society and adopted many of those beliefs.
That’s why Jesus became the hellenistic Messiah who didn’t have much in common with the expectations that Jews had of their savior.
It is difficult to prove a historic person really existed, but just think about how the days everyone of us are living started counting the day Jesus was born. Wouldn’t that mean something?
Christ Arose... He arose and they suffered rather than renounce him. They happily marched towards suffering, torture and death rather than renounce a risen Jesus Christ. Hallelujah i believe!

I was very sorry at this in my mind; and went with tears in my eyes to Titus, and told him of them.

If you were to have all of those people playing the game stand outside a room with one person inside the room to start off. Then have the second person come into the room and hear the first person say, "monkeys love bananas". Then have the first person leave the room and the third person come into the room and hear the second person say what they heard from the first person, and so on down to the last person - that last person is going to say, " monkeys love bananas. Analogies can only explain your opinion on a situation, but can never act as evidence!
🤣🤣🤣This guys is nuts 🤣🤣🤣
If this was a. Brazilian fighter Joe wouldnt dare question them.
This guy is a lunatic...
Cliff Knetchele and Stuart I hope make it to the Joe Rogan podcast
It is called Faith, take it on faith.
The Christian version of "source: trust me bro"
Yeah, nope.
That's what cult leaders say. Get it?
@MrCoolBeans-jg7dc third time you spammed this ridiculous nonsense, lol. Still not true.
I don't know why everybody has to shit on Jesus, he was a righteous dude. Looking at the comments it makes sense to why they crucified him.
They hate Christians and Christianity. But amazingly they don’t have the same criticism or vitriol for Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism....🙄
Ego Joe….
Joe Rogan I pray you open your eyes for Jesus. He is real and alive sitting at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is the only way bro
The Case For Christ is such a badly written and logically flawed book.
Because it's like writing a book insisting that Harry Potter was real. 😂
Romans said so because they were under pressure of accountability of Jesus's body, when they couldn't found even after searching. And there's no reason for apostles to take the body and not one of them did confirmed they took it.
The Romans didn’t even know that the body was missing until the Jesus legend got popular many decades later.
This guy is clearly the head of religious studies somewhere,😂😂 sadly
The first autobiography on Alexanda may of been years after his death but he was wrote about during his own lifetime especially by his enemies
So was Jesus......🤦♂️🤣
@@boojeboy1 I wasn't saying he wasn't? Just that Alexander was famous during his lifetime so to make out that someone made stuff up 2 hundred years later isn't telling the whole truth.
Alexandre has money with his name on it 😂
Joe wants to do things his way. He wants to be his own God. He won't listen. God bless
He thinks a steroid eye poker is the goat though.....
Except there was like 9,999 gods before the concept of Jesus. And all the stories in the bible are derived from those prior religions.
Also Jesus could be a twin and the death of his brother was a way to prove their religion was real. Identical twins have been around for human history.
That's because it takes the Spirit. If it were a matter of reading comprehension, the Jews would believe.
@@dontcare7086you’re talking out of your anus.
Man is wish Joe Rogan could get Dr Richard Carrier on his show
Joe Rogan needs to have on Dr. Gary Habermas to give him the real in depth history that proves that Jesus was indeed resurrected. Rogan has only discussed this on the podcast with people on the periphery trying to regurgitate the facts from Dr. Habermas, but not the true LIVING expert that has studied this for over 50 yrs. If you want to actually dive into the resurrection, debate the historical data, and get an education then have Dr. Habermas on the podcast. Also read ‘The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus’ by Gary Habermas.
No one resurrected, and no one is coming back. The truth is within. We are all made of god stuff. Read the Upanishads.
@@apassagebeyond108 🎯
Jesus is as real as any one else that you want to believe in.
joe is the most open minded person you’ll find on the internet, but every time religion is brought up all of that goes out the window 😂
Not really the arguments are all flawed that's why!
why not have Lee Strobel on and talk to him about his book so that he can better explain it to you. He is the one who interviewed all these different theologians. He can explain how the Pharisees had the Roman soldiers guard the tomb. This well intended man is not doing a good job explaining himself. If you want a real discussion about the subject that is.
Um a book proves what when. Are you insane. Let me write a book where you give me so money. Wait its already been done 1000 times shit
Uh excuse me not that smart?? Greek philosophers were around 300-400 year before Christ and they were relatively intelligent!! I fully understand not everyone was a raving intellect but it was far from the dark ages!!
The delusions some people need to tell themselves... Hooooooly sh
I’ve read the book. He’s right, without a Christian angle, the book proves 100% that Christ lived, etc…
The Alexander the Great twist is that, without him having conquered the known world “PRIOR” to Christ, everyone would have not known the same language.
No one believed in god then either
“A dead guy” Joe Rogan, we’re talking about Jesus Christ the Messiah.
…who is a dead guy.
Of course, Jesus rose from the dead. It's the best explanation, given the facts.
lol No.
Bring Lee Strobel on. He can answer your hard questions about Jesus.
Why should we ask a pastor who peddles fringe nonsense and not a historian?
Christians dont have to prove God exists, God takes care of that, two things prove God. The knowledge of creation and your conscience.. aint nobody going to get to judgment day and say sorry there just wasnt enough evidence..
This is why us as Christians need to know our scripture if he knew the bible he could have saved so many lives
As a Christian I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree with the guest about the 500 eyewitnesses. We don’t have individual accounts, the bible says that he appeared to 500 people. While I believe this, the idea that we know exactly who all these witnesses were is false
The amount of proof I would need to think someone in the past was called Alaxander the Great is a lot less than what I would need to think someone is a god.
Probably was based on a real person but the whole song of god and walk on water stuff might be somewhat of creative liberty
Losing a debate to Joe rogan is honestly pathetic
That’s because it was an indefensible position.
At that time, Roman were one of the best soldiers in the whole world, so a bunch of guys, mostly with no training as Warriors, beat them Rob the body, and the Said to everyone that Jesus Rose from the dead... After that, ALL OF THEM were persecute for saying Thais "lie", and ALL OF THEM got killed and tortured, because of This and never ever denied Jesus...
Ive never see, anyone that would be tortured and killed, because of a lie.
Love whenever this dudes on JRE and speaking of Jesus, I just wish sometimes I was there to help him with some things Joe ask that he can’t answer or can’t find the right words for 😂 that’s just the Christian in us though, and I’m not claiming to be an expert or theologian. Still, love Chris for trying to spread the Word 🙏
NOTE:
THE PROPER TERM IS ACCUSATION, NOT CONSPIRACY…
So Joe believes aliens but not Jesus 😅😂😂
THERE IS NO HATRED GREATER THAN MAGA CHRISTIAN LOVE.
