<<@CrossExamined says : Download FREE Cheat Sheet “The 4-Point Case For Christianity” 👉📱https://cutt.ly/ZYMC4nl>> <<@KevinPeterTobiason says : THE MYTH OF PERSECUTION by Dr. Candida Moss Ph.D.💙>> <<@kevin6293 says : The apostles probably weren’t given an option to recant their religion, because they were likely martyred for the great fire of Rome and the 1st Jewish revolt.>> <<@mkr12-q4d says : This logic is nonsense. Literally, any dead body would actually have served for this purpose since bodies decompose in the grave, don't you think?>> <<@ericneiman5556 says : The family of Jesus took Jesus's body from the tomb. They sent the Roman guards wine with opium and while the guards slept Jesus was taken to their families tomb while a brother of Mary Magdalen stayed behind. That created a situation for the guards since they were delinquent with there duties. This information is from the Templars. Can we trust such accusations? One should do the research. Was Jesus and Mary Magdalen married. Templar claim that they have a marriage certificate. Also the Vatican has been hiding this information for centuries.>> <<@RepsRanked says : Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell <3 Jesus died on the cross for you bro. :)>> <<@Theo_Skeptomai says : _What_ Christian martyrs?>> <<@jeffh58 says : I watch you every Wed. on the NRB network. I watched last week, and you were discussing the book of Galatians written by Paul. You gave dates when the books of the New Testament were written, and you provided the date of 62 AD for Revelation. I've noticed most scholars give the date around 95AD. How do you come up with the earlier date, and why so big of a difference in those dates?>> <<@aaronmonroe7932 says : "People a long time ago died for what they believed in. People 2,000 really really really really really believed Jesus was resurrected from the dead.......so you should too" That's what I hear every time people bring this up. You shouldn't accept something just because people really really really really accepted it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence . People really really really believed they were doing the will of their god on September 11th.>> <<@Micah_St_Columba says : None of them recanted…. From Paul to Peter to John being exiled to the island of Patmos (prisoner island also for the dead) Polycarp of Smyrna, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, and all the in betweens, up until this persecution had officially come to a halt around the 5th century AD…. Eusebius of Caesarea, ‘Church History’ also ‘Martyrs of Palestine’ Yale Historian, Ramsay MacMullen, ‘Christianizing the Roman Empire: 100-400AD’ Cambridge Professor of Biblical Studies, N.T Wright, ‘Origins of Christianity: 4 volume set’ Baylor University Sociologist, Rodney Stark, ‘The Rise of Christianity’ also ‘The Triumph of Christianity’>> <<@philisaakak says : If He didn’t raise from the dead at least one would have dipped out. Forget you guys, He’s dead and you know it. I’m Audi!!!>> <<@jimfarnell5813 says : There are men who will dare to die for causes they believe in… There are men who will die for causes that are lies, not knowing they are lies… But only a lunatic dies for a cause he knows is a lie… BTW: mental illness is not a communicable disease…>> <<@blackkman1324 says : WORD SALAD NONSENSE !!!!>> <<@joelercoaster says : I never thought about the fact that if they wanted Christianity dead they could’ve just gotten Jesus’s body but because he rose from the dead they could never do that! Added this to my collection of arguments for Christ haha 🙏🏽👍🏽>> <<@kathybj says : I learn a lot from your videos!>> <<@PP_Derrick says : Why put Words in a man's mouth?There is not one verse that Jesus says he is God, but he points to his Father, YHWH as his God. YHWH calls himself God. The only thing Jesus claims was that he was Son of God and Christ, which he's both.>> <<@RangerRyke says : Can we trust the Muslim martyrs or the Buddhist martyrs?>> <<@piegros says : Good video>> <<@nothingbutthetruth613 says : Oh brother. THIS IS NOT EVIDENCE!!! You can't use the book you are trying to prove to prove the book you are trying to prove. It doesn't work that way. In addition, whoever wrote the nt did not see a thing. It's impossible. It was written half a century or more after the fact. They could not have seen anything. Why does he keep saying these things?>> <<@makedisciples8653 says : More evidence is piling up everyday, everywhere. You can be baptized in a lot of countries today as long as you limit it declaring it as only an outward expression to an inward change. But as soon as you say that your baptism declares that you now identify with the work and cause of Christ, you could get murdered. India (right now!), China, parts of the Mideast. There no reason not to believe the Apostles were martyred. Just look around>> <<@terryroxburgh7685 says : The human body can be reduced to skeletal bones in just 9 day well exposed to air. If jesus was in tombed most of the public declarations we would expect would have happened for years, if the Roman's couldn't produce a body, its because of decomposition, not because they could produce a body. It should be noted in the jesus family tomb, bodies after decomposing are placed in an ossuary, or bone box, and one yeshua with the mother Mary, a wife name Mary (Mary magdalene) and father y yoseph (Joseph) was found with early Christians markings.>> <<@kevinwesterville2115 says : Not very>> <<@larzman651 says : That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS and shalt believe in thy heart that GOD raised him from the dead thou shalt be Saved 🙌>> <<@ahhitskatie9094 says : Excellent point!!>> <<@Derek_Baumgartner says : If any should think that the early Christians were not persecuted to the point of execution in pressure to recant their faith: one of the ancient World Wonders, the Coliseum, stands a firm witness against this naiveté. Indeed, it was home to bloodshed for sport - a popular attraction being feeding dissenters (including Christians) to lions, then cutting the lions open to see the partially-digested body parts. Their culture was all-too-willing to kill the inconvenient: simply look up Rome and child exposure to see how they dealt with unwanted children. Yet, I see an echo of this in modern day called abortion - sadly perhaps not an echo, but a stronger beast than it was then.. ---- Stephen may be the first of Christ's followers we have testimony of being openly executed for refusing to renounce Jesus: not in the method of the Coliseum, but rather by the hands of Pharisaical men who believed Christianity a heresy to be stamped out. ---- Proclaiming Christ to be God, the prophesied Son of Man of Daniel 7, was blasphemous to the Pharisees (yet being God is how Jesus described Himself, in Mark 14). Proclaiming Christ to be the only God was considered sedition to the leaders of Rome (who, for example, viewed the Christians' refusal to worship Caesar as worthy of death, even executing otherwise model-citizens who wouldn't perform the ritual burning of incense to their emperor: ex, Polycarp). Regarding longevity, one more note: Rome fell, and the Coliseum lies broken. Time and again, Jesus outlives His pallbearers. Many think think that, by burying Him, they're done and no longer need to deal with Him: yet the grave remains empty. "Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him." ~Napoleon Bonaparte "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." John 20:31>> <<@gorillaz_jbi says : A Christian martyr is someone who died for his or her faith, rather than renounce Christ. Ever since Stephen was stoned to death outside Jerusalem (Acts 7), Christians around the world have suffered and died for the sake of Christ. There are many lessons we can learn from the testimony of the martyrs. Each person who is bold enough to give up his life for Christ has a unique lesson to teach us. Christian martyrs teach us that we can stand for God no matter the circumstances. Millions of people throughout history have willingly died for their faith. If they can do it, so can we. That does not mean we should seek out suffering or death for Christ, but it does mean that, if we are presented with the choice of “die or deny Christ,” we should be bold and cling to Christ. Our love for God should take us as far as God’s love for us took Him—to death. Jesus prepared His disciples for persecution: “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven” (Matthew 10:32–33). Martyrs show us what it looks like to stand firm in not denying Jesus. Another lesson Christian martyrs teach us is that we will receive a reward for standing for our faith. Revelation 20:4–6 paints a picture of the reward awaiting the Christian martyrs who die during the future Tribulation: “I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. . . . This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.” Jesus attached a blessing to the suffering Christians face in this world: “Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man” (Luke 6:22). As he died Stephen caught a glimpse of the glory awaiting him: “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:56). Interestingly, the Greek word translated “crown” in the New Testament is stephanos (the source of Stephen’s name). Christian martyrs are a model of grace under pressure. They teach us how to handle persecution of any kind. Stephen died with grace on his lips: “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:60). He forgave his murderers, and his forgiveness echoed that of Christ Himself (Luke 23:34). Those who persecute Christians often have a goal of humiliating them and making them believe the hatred toward them is justified. But Jesus told us ahead of time of their true motivation: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you” (John 15:18–19). The numerous Christian martyrs throughout history were killed because they were chosen by Christ and do not belong to the world. Christian martyrs also provide evidence that the Bible is true. The writers of the Bible, most of whom were martyred, held to the truth of Jesus’ resurrection to the very end. Some people might die for a lie they think is true, but no one dies for a lie he knows to be false. The Christian martyrs knew what they believed was true. When we press into knowing God personally and truly begin living for God, we will become a target for those who hate God. The spiritual battle is real, and so are the rewards. We are serving a real God who really loves us, who was really willing to die for us, and who really rewards us for standing for Him. Researching Christian martyrdom through the centuries is a worthwhile study. There are some great books available that tell the stories of those who gave everything for Jesus. John Foxe’s Acts and Monuments is one example, and D. C. Talk’s book Jesus Freaks is another.>> <<@jeffphelps1355 says : Cross examine provides a rationale explanation for our faith>> <<@frankcardano4142 says : But where does the bible say they willingly died? This is a modern day Christian apologetic which isn’t even biblical.>> <<@StruckDownNotDestroyed says : There is no man so blind as one who will not see. The apostles swore to what they saw and dedicated their lives to their testimony. They gave all they could and had to tell of what they saw and heard. You can't ask for more than that. They knew the truth of the life and resurrection of Christ unlike those who try to discredit them today. "For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty." II Peter 1:16 "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full." I John 1:1‭-‬4>> <<@chloemartel9927 says : Very good!>> <<@thatomofolo452 says : Stop spitting lies abt Jesus Christ Yeshua He is King 👑🦁♥️ Lol 🙄 you Judas Iscariot 😏>> <<@frankcardano4142 says : Where in the bible does it say any martyr could have lived if they’d recanted? It doesn’t. Meaning nobody chose to die when they could’ve lived by recanting.>> <<@thatomofolo452 says : They are real stats duh🙄🤦 If Abba Father God Most High said it then I believe Him ✊✊♥️>>
