The Case for Christ

And then he went on to write many books.

One of them is called "The Case for Christ," "The Case for Miracles," "The Case for Heaven." And so he's used like his investigative journalist skills to now write these, um, these books basically examining the evidence.

So I still think at the end of the day, Lewis, you could sit here with all of the evidence in front of you, and at one point there's still a...

And I don't think that you would be afraid to, um, uh, taking that faith step or having a supernatural experience.

So the first one is called "You Don't Need a PhD to Find G-O-D," and that is kind of a introductory apologetics 101.

It really starts off from, you know, essentially the why do we believe that there's any god, you know, let alone the God of the Bible, but why do we believe that there's any god? And it kind of starts, again, it's a lot of the, it's a lot of the type of arguments that you find in books like either "The Case for Christ" or, uh, "You Don't Have Enough," or "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" and things like that.

And so that basically breaks down the reasons why you start with, you know, the cause of the universe and then the fine-tuning of the universe, and it basically is like a funnel where you start from, you know, is there any god at all? And it works its way through, yes, okay, you know, a, a god exists, and then which god exists, and eventually, you know, you get to the point of, you know, the only, the only answer that makes sense is the God of the Bible.

And then there's an FAQ section where it's a bunch of things that I'm like, man, these are all questions that Christians have of, for instance, you know, isn't it arrogant for Christians to believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven? Things like that where like you're probably gonna get asked that.

So if he didn't rise from the dead, and the Bible even says it, is your faith is useless.

You know, our preaching is useless and your faith is useless.

So that second book really hammers in on-- It's kind of more like "The Case for Christ," hammers in on what is the evidence that Jesus actually did rise from the dead.

Exactly.

Mine's not really a question, but I kind of wanted to make a statement, if that's all right.

I noticed that one of the things that there is a book called, and you probably have heard of it, Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ.

These scrolls?

Lee Strobel is the name of the person, and the name of the book is The Case for Christ.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

... um, going to Jesus, and unfortunately.

And, um, yeah, so I, long story short, somebody offered me this book called The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.

Yeah.

And, uh, I miraculously did not cuss them out.

You know, one time, let me give an example.

We had a guy, there's a book called The Case for Christ.

And we had this guy come talk to us one time at church.

And this guy, his name's Lee Strobel, I think is what his name is.

But he went out, the whole book, The Case for Christ, is about how this guy went out to prove that Jesus did not exist and Jesus was not likely God.

He basically wanted to prove that.

And the guy told our congregation, he was talking about how the odds of all these things happening, you know, Jesus created miracles and he healed people and he rose from the dead and all these things happened and it was witnessed by people.
