Would Someone Die For A Lie? - Lee Strobel

This is a quick video on a key evidence for Christ's diety by a famous and well-respected former atheist. Did you know 11 out of the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ were tortured and killed for their beliefs? They were martyrs. They were in the unique position to know for sure if Christ was God or not, and yet they never denied His diety and resurrection and instead were tortured and killed. Would they have done this for a lie?

Answer: Yes. See: Heaven's Gate. Even the leaders of this cult offed themselves. Either the leaders somehow convinced themselves they were correct, or they're willing to die for a lie.

Simple as that.

Very weak argument and I'm a Christian

@LovaticAndJesusLover Well, actually there is no solid evidence for god. But, you clearly think there is - and you also think that it's possible for people to be aware of this 'evidence' and yet not accept that god exists. And you also probably think that denying god is going to result in unending torture in hell. So, you seem to think that people would endure torture for all eternity for a lie... So why is it so surprising that people might die for one too?

[LovaticAndJesusLover]

@Stairc Oh! You mean like how people still believe there is no God despite all the evidence for God. Oh hmmm i see that

[Stairc]

@LovaticAndJesusLover Nope, doesn't make a difference. People believe things all the time despite evidence to the contrary. Even if people have the facts to determine something isn't true, they still often deny it despite the facts. Like all the young earth creationists. Every fact shows that the world is billions of years old, but they still insist it's only a few thousand. People will still believe falsehoods even when they have evidence to the contrary.

@Stairc the problem with that is that people die for their religions all the time now. anyone will die for anything... only the disciples lived withJesus! Unlike u and me, they KNEW whether or not it was true. They KNEW!!! thats more than anyone alive today can say. they witnessed it so they must have KNOWN that Jesus rose back from the dead. They knew the TRUTH and thats y they dies. It wasnt just their "belief", it was a fact.

"Would someone die for a lie?"

Yes people would die for a lie. Happens all the time. People die for their religions all over world, and I'm sure Lee would insist that those religions aren't true. Then people die because they think it's true or want to believe it's true - even when it isn't. Unless Lee wants to claim that Islam is the one true religion too... Well, his argument is invalid.

[LovaticAndJesusLover]

sooo true! They were close enought to the death and were actually there so they would noe for sure wheter or not it was true. So they wouldnt die for a lie.!

@BBQFanNo1 It's all well and good to claim the evidence for God is obvious because the Bible says so--but what IS this evidence? Nice ad hominem attack there, calling everyone who disagrees with you all sorts of names without any support for these assertions. By all means, stay a Christian for your entire life, but please, learn to debate respectfully with reasoned arguments instead of copying scripture quotes and calling people names. It's not polite and won't win your point of view respect.

@bwconklin Romans 1:22---Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

This is what God and your Supreme Final Judge Jesus Christ has to say about pride arrogant conscience blinded blasphemer people like you and Richard Dawkins.
