Did The Gospel Writers Tell The Truth? - Lee Strobel

Lee explains why we should have complete confidence in the New Testament, namely the Gospels. Why would the Gospel writers and Christ's disciples become martyrs and die believing Christ was God if they knew it wasn't or might not be true? And don't you think they would know for sure after all the time they spent together? Think about it...

What the hell is he talking about.

All of these points have been refuted for years.

[toddtyszka]

That's a lie... What points "have been refuted for years?"

[dmosier]

Lee keeps talking like Luke wrote the book of Luke. Does anyone still believe this?

There are no *contemporary* writings about Jesus.

None. They are all written much after the 'death' of 'christ'.

Any biblical scholar knows this. So why does Lee not know this? Or is it that he does and he is being intentionally dishonest in order to sell more books to the deluded christians?

you be the judge....

[toddtyszka]

Why don't you think Luke wrote Luke? Because it would be a "contemporary" writing and lend credibility?

[muerteverde]

I suggest the book "Who Was Jesus?: Fingerprints of the Christ" for a scholarly, in depth and even handed look at the 4 gospels. ok, now for what is clearly false. Parts of the Bible that are internally contradictory. Both X and ~X cannot be true. Then again, we have the total global flood story, which is contradicted by everything we know about geology and hydrology and archeology. There have been large floods, but never global in scale.

@ace8842

I know that you are telling me what you have been told, and I am certain that you believe it to be true. There are now far to many sources of proof that show that this is just simply not true. Look into it.

god wrote the book of luke not luke

@dmosier And of course Mr. Dawkins and Mr. Hitchens write to "free" people not for profit. Profit is of course bad to you right? Or is this another illogical fallacy? I judge that he is right and you are deluded because you give NO EVIDENCE but he does. End of story? You told me to be the judge! That's my judgement.

[7777reasons]

@dmosier Or perhaps it is to help deluded atheists like you become non-delusional?

[7777reasons]

@dmosier So let's have your evidence instead of logical fallacies please? Do you have any? OR must we take what YOU say on faith?

[7777reasons]

@dmosier So do you have evidence that Luke did NOT write the book of Luke? Tell us what it is oh intelligent one. Or are we to believe your question's inference on faith? And then can you tell us why we should have faith in your intellect and intelligence or your reasoning ability? Do you have some evidence for that? God loves you even if you don't believe in him. He believes in you!

@MrBiblicalscholar The problem with your theory is that scholars, including liberal scholars, don't date the gospel of Luke three generations after the event, but within two generations. The book of Acts ended with Paul still alive under house arrested. Scholars agree that Paul was executed no later than 68 AD & The Book of Acts no later than 62 AD.

On the video Awesome God, the Christian troll, Humbler25, praises fellow Christian Father Ignace, who lived in the 17th century. Ignace believed in whipping as a penance. He provided the whip & little children (some still breastfeeding) were stripped naked, to receive up to 25 blows for their sins. The Jesuit considered this perverted practice as a Holy Ceremony. A Nun in 2002 in Canada received 8 months in prison for doing the same things as Father Ignace.

@toddtyszka My friend, comment on what you know, not on what you don't. The Gospel of Luke was written three generations after Jesus death. Luke, as with all the gospels are written for the communities in which they familiar. Compare the writings of Matthew to the Maccabees, the Gentiles to Luke.

@BobinMT His law degree is just basic stuff.. A one year course. Called Master os studies in Law. I would not boost of such a title.

[Humbler25]

@TheDarvus pick up a book and read. education is at your finger tips, embrace it! There is a reason why historians the world over (even atheist ones) know that Jesus existed. Discover the evidence, it will open your eyes that have been blinded for far too long.
