Before becoming a Christian, I questioned a lot of Jesus including the historical events that led Jesus to come down to earth when he did? Perhaps history was setting up clues in preparation for the coming of Jesus? In this video, I'll be discussing the historical evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ. As a Christian apologist, I believe that the evidence for Jesus is strong and compelling, and I'm excited to share my perspective on this topic. Well I explore that idea a little bit here. Check it out.

What a timely video for me. I literally heard a doctor giving a nurse a hard time because mentioned he believed Christ was the promised Messiah, and the doctor who was clearly atheist or agnostic started to cite how other religions had people who turned water to wine and rise from the dead etc. I wasn’t involved in the conversation and it seemed to end there, so I just kept working. In my head though I thought what a stupid reason not to believe the Bible account because it sounds like something else, there is nothing new under the sun. Anyway, this video will definitely help me articulate my beliefs should the occasion ever present itself again. Thank you.
I'm glad this helped you out!
I get that but how does video specifically prove that those other ‘religious myths’ are false?
@@the_alchemy_method RELIGION AT ITS BASE IS A LIE.
It doesn't know who God is, what he/she personality is like.
His / her history. No archaeology to back it up.
Jesus is God. And we can, and HE wants us to have relationship with him. And can only be done through his son Jesus. Religion is just waking up, shower, shave, and get dressed over and over.
If you can share with that other person do so
@@paulhowson8744 actually there’s so much that’s been found and is being found that proves the Bible is true. Recently there’s been found in Israel Pontus pilots seal. Also Jeremiah’s seal. Many things. But do this: just ASK God Who He is. Mean it. He will answer
This was really good, thanks!

I think Lewis maybe got that idea from Tolkien, yeah?
“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil."
~ Tolkien
He might have.
Yes he did.
The whole Bible is not about Israel as some churches state but about Jesus and how God redeems man to him by his Son. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Exactly!
Actually it is not JUST about Israel but ALSO of those who accept HIM
Most churches I’ve been to barely want to talk about how Israel plays a huge part in the end times, and also no one talks about the millennial reign, only him splitting the skies and taking his people. They talk about heaven and hell, and they don’t speak on the ruling of messiah of 1,000 years.
Another reason why the ancient myths mirror attributes of Jesus / the true God is because they are images of the Fallen Ones, who serve The Fallen One, who copies God. Remember, they lived in heaven with Jesus before the world was made. So they know his attributes well, and seek to emulate him as impostors to lead people astray.
Nailed it. I've thought about this very thing often.
So good to read your comment. Of course the human race has been ‘played’ by the fallen ones. The curious dynamic is between what God allows them to do and what we do with God.
Yep, yet every time people hear me say this they quickly shake their head.
How can they be 'the fallen ones?' Factually, if you truly study the history of religion, they myths and stories are all re told in all traditions, including Christianity.
It's not a matter of this or that, it's just pure factual evidence. If you don't agree, please do your research.
Type and anti-type. I wish I had understood it so much sooner. It possibly would have saved me from the deception of Zeitgeist and the like. I walked away from my Christian upbringing and Christ for 12 years. The vacuum was filled by New Age lies. I praise Jesus every day for chasing me down, humbling and rebuking me, and then carrying me back to His fold. I pray that I will humble myself daily so He will never have to humble me to the degree He had to ever again. I praise Jesus for comforting me when I lay in a broken heap at the foot of the cross and for continuing to heal me and put me back together again.❤🙏
2 Peter 1:16 - ''For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.''
Sounds like something a liar who is trying to convince you might say
The myths of the demigods of Greece seem to be very similar to the actions of fallen angels in nephlim
It doesn’t stop there! Think about hyper-popular fantasy fictions and you can see the same exact patterns. Harry Potter is an example: prophesied birth, chosen one, savior, descended from a leader (Gryffindor), performed miracles (not dying from the death curse, performing the patronus charm, etc), made the ultimate sacrifice, AND resurrected from the dead. It ticks almost all boxes! It’s like our mind is wired to recognize our savior and we did when he finally came to dwell among us.
that means that the signs that we want are all the exact same and Jesus did all of those signs unlike the others
I remember him talking about this during the Chaos to Clarity conference in February 2022! I love the way the information was presented!
I've been thinking and talking a lot about Christian apologetics lately and the passion Holy Spirit has suddenly given me. I've had a RUclips account for years yet only tonight your videos appear on my feed!
Glory to God!! I'm a new subscriber. Thank you for all you do.😃
This is such a wonderful, amazing video especially with the really cool music. Big CONGRATS!!! :)
I appreciate that!
Love these types of videos
Christianity didn't copy other religions, Christianity is other religions.
Your information is powerful J.
May I put the translation on this series?? How to so it and assist u? (From Indonesia here..)..
Thank you so much for this. I needed to hear this
whats the song at the very end
I seem to watch a police inquierer. Your research methodology is astonishing.
Be blessed.
Excellent content, although I thought it was unfortunate having Warner Sallman's ludicrous 'Head of Christ' in the background.
I wondered how to answer this question. Thank you. :)
I'm glad you liked it! I see you commenting on a few of my videos and so I hope you stick around and the videos are useful to your faith!
@@ColdCaseChristianity I have only just found your channel. I intend on being serious, and very thoughtful with my faith. I'd love to get into apologetics, but for now I need to have my foundation become strong and reliable, and that can only happen from reading the entire bible and understanding my faith properly. Which should happen first, before I consider apologetics.
I've been a Christian for a year and have alot of work to do, but it's actually quite exciting!
There's still some basics I don't know very well....like what palm Sunday is, and what the real day of Sabbath is. Is it Saturday, or sunday, or is such a question based off of a misunderstanding?
Please get rid of that Mormon looking picture of Christ. BTW loved your book.
Keep grinding your videos are awesome
Your awesome mate
Excellent video!!
It's BC and AD
Timely video and an awesome one at that. I guess the more you indulge the more you find things that make others rethink. You are a blessing.
Romans 1:20 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” This video brings whole new meaning out of that verse! People knew God in a way before seeing Jesus incarnate or getting any of the direct revelation or communication from God like that given to the various people recorded to have received it in the Old Testament or who penned the Old Testament, just from the very nature of creation itself!
This is an Awesome presentation! I have always been interested in "Types" but this puts it all into a more concise and comprehensible perspective, Thany you!
I enjoy your wisdom very much
Thank you, glad you liked the video!
as to why humanity believes in some sort of God could be found in: Romans 2:14-15 NLT
Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. [15] They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. FYI
Excellent!
People often balk at the idea of elements of Christianity being seen in earlier religions. For them it invalidates Christianity. But nothing could be more preposterous if one acknowledges as well the existence of a cunning adversary spirit to God. This adversary seeks to sow obfuscations at every turn and to lie and mislead. Imagine for instance he also overheard prophesies foretelling Jesus (and I'm sure he did) and what Jesus would do or not do, wouldnt it be right up his street to strew duplicitous copies here and there to confuse and befuddle things? Indeed, this must be what explains stories of virgin births in pre-Christian times.(Bear in mind the first foretelling of this was at the Garden of Eden). Funnily, not one of these religions can offer any rational explanations for the need to have a virgin birth. Only Christianity can and does. There was need for Jesus to skirt the contaminated Adamic bloodline! Always remember that to qualify as fully man, His birth only needed to fulfil the condition settled in the Garden that the womb of the woman shall bear all the living. Other 'faiths' flounder over 'niceties' like this and only think it must be hip for a god to be virgin-born.
So, yeah, Christians shouldn't in the least be fazed by accusations of their faith copycatting others because a more careful study of the facts will expose these accusations as groundless.
I truly appreciate you, your channel is so helpful! You take important information and make it very user-friendly for anyone to absorb, enabling them to share the truths of God. Thank you for the steadfast work that you do to help us. Your channel is so very important. This topic is a frequent critique that we hear, but in this video you created a concise, very informative response. This is another awesome video, thank you!
Cool!
In a word: Profound
Never underestimate "the angel of light" Lucifer. His ability twist reality and truth in people's minds... There is a real thing going on!😅🙏🙏🙏🙏 Love this stuff!
Wow, I have never thought about Jesus from such perspective of people from the Old Testament. Great job and waiting for more 🎉
Awesome. You give complete descriptions in easy to understand ways.
Can I ask you?
A question when was jesus born
There is only 1 God he's the One and.only..💯🙏❤️
awesome....
Briliant.. excelente... MANTAP (Indonesian Lang)
Wonderful! I hadn't really thought of it in the way that world religions are actually expectations by man that are ingrained in us as created beings - accounting for the broad similarities in world religions. I like the way you phrased it - similar but vastly different in the details! And the way you showed the OT patriarchs and prophets as fore types of Jesus was clear and concise.
brilliant
great video i favorited it
Awesome video
Thanks glad you liked it!
You just gave me an idea. The next person to say Christianity copies from other religions, I'll ask why they don't think Christianity copies from itself? I'd be a nice way to test how much of the Bible they TRULY know.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What , no comments? Lol. Thumbs up
I appreciate the comment
I was participating in an online debate where I suggested that concept of a divine Savior was common to all cultures because God revealed his ultimate plan to all generations... So Jesus is not a copy of them: but they were foreshadows of Jesus, possibly.
The value of prophecy and prophecy is not unique to the hebrews
@@friendlyfire7509 I agree
I think it's completely Inexplicable that all of these attributes start with the letter "I" when the English language didn't exist 2000 years ago.
✟
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Psalms 34:19 (KJV)
Jeremiah 30:7
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Yes... yes it did.
When considered one by one, all of these false religions bear no ultimate similarities! Whatever similarities exists the dissimilarities are readily seen. That is why all of these religions have never brought about the kind of moral impact that biblical Christianity has had throughout the annals of human history. The Trinity, as it is given in the Greek text of the New Testament, has absolutely no comparison or something on exact identical lines as the God who has revealed himself in holy scripture. Only people who are biblically illiterate can fall for or believe that. Good Christian scholars have obliterated all of the proposed religions, which are used as the sources from which the Christians God and His Christ were borrowed.
I don't think Jesus is special based on a handful of arbitrarily chosen attributes. Surely, if we look hard enough, we could find an aspect which is enbodied in some ancient deities, but not in Jesus.
Beside, since Jesus worship started relatively late, these aspects could all have been incorporated gradually.
Not even Christians can agree on every attribute of Jesus, so I don't think this idea is too far fetched.
So, performing miracles, being blameless, claiming divinity (and showcasing it), fulfilling prophecies, and rising from the dead don't make Jesus special?
GOD set the story of salvation in the constellations. It is in the Hebrew mazzaroth. The stars tell the story
*Holy Bible
Jesus is lord for us
Zoroaster is not a god, he is a Prophet of his god, Ahura Mazda.
Yes yes Mazda made excellent cars in the 90s
So he wasn't a prophet because his God don't exist
They make good cars
@@paulrussell6495 He made a lot of prophet from his cars.
@@crackbabystemcell6887 Never drove a Mazda, but they should have made a model called the Zoraster
If god wanted to be seen as human, might as well send human prophets like He did before with moses, joseph, david and the rest... Why is it not possible jesus just was a human prophet send by god? Since god wanted a human figure to deliver the message...
The reason why Jesus can't be a prophet is because he died for the sins of the World. A human life is only worth 1 human life, however God is infinite and so the shedding of his blood could save an infinite amount of humans from eternal damnation if they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and repent of their sins. That's not exactly a message that a prophet can give.
Because Jesus denied being a prophet so many times and actually claimed to be the son of God and God himself.
Nah they definitely based it off other religions and used the pagan holidays but just changed their meaning.
Nah
No
That was after the Roman adoption of Christianity, which birthed Catholicism. That has nothing to do with the absolute Truth of God displayed within the Bible.
Excellent!
