Let's be honest, even if they had video evidence back then, some would still say it had been faked.  I think the only thing you can "prove" is that the first disciples, or certainly some of them, really believed that they had encountered the risen Christ. This changed everything for them.

No one could have survived what they put Jesus through..

Jesus Resruction gives us so much hope.

[hilariousmpungu]

Christians are indeed the salt of the world. Can't even imagine a world devoid of Jesus Christ. It shows in all topics of discussion regarding our faiths, the calmness and peaceful nature showed in the responses Christians make. A world without Jesus Christ is an insane world. Thank You Jesus for saving me

Great Roman Historian Tacitus and many many other Historians admitted Jesus was put to death by Pontius Pilate. Crucified and Killed. Put on the Tomb. That tomb is empty. He was seen walking, eating, talking to his disciples. Before his crucifixion, his disciples were terrified for their lives and fleed. Not too long after, they were willing to give their lives for this Jesus guy. What sparked such a great boldness and fearlessness? The undisputable, undeniable truth that Jesus really rose; Jesus really is who He said he was. Jesus rose, if he rose he still lives, if he lives you can know him today. Do you want to know him? Humbly ask him and acknowledge all your flaws and Failing. He is great in mercy and Grace.

John 20, 29: You believe because you can see me. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.

[JuanCarlos-godj]

I might have missed it because I didn’t hear this guy give any evidence at all, just validate the premise and give broad over reaching opinions on why the critics are wrong

[robertsonandrea]

To those who are interested in or have doubts about the resurrection of Jesus, I recommend Andrew Loke’s Investigating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ: A New Transdisciplinary Approach for further study. Maybe this book can help you.

Hello, I am a proud Christian here. A refutation of the resurrection I have seen from some agnostics and atheists is that Jesus was likely never even put in a tomb because the Roman’s normally just left the crucified dead on their crosses. I would love to see this channel address this refutation to strengthen all of our apologetics. Thanks!

No proofs for the resurrection are presented in this video.

[Episcopalianacolyte]

I wish that people would not post controversial comments to get arguments started. Just ignore the narcissists. I think you made very good and thoughtful points. Your teaching is sound. Thank you.

[Tracks]

Awesome! Please keep going, one day you make it big

Citing the Bible is not "proof" of the resurrection of Jesus. It is not evidence of the resurrection of Jesus. No one knows where he was buried? It wasn't important? I doubt that. People have always made monuments to things - if folks had actually cared about Jesus they would not have forgotten the location of the tomb - just as you don't forget where your parents are buried or where the relics of the Saints are. Those types of things have always been important.

I’m nearly 42 years old, and the resurrection and its evidence is turning me into a true believer. I have been of catholic faith my entire life, but I have come far from the church, and find no solace in the Catholic Church, I may be a Christian.

[Kebabrulle]

Too much hate in this comment section, can’t there be a sensible and respectful discussion for once?

[JakeLeidahl]

As Jesus said they wont believe even if some one rises from the dead

John 20:24-29

Is a physical exam byJudas to proof resurrection only days after the fact.

[aleksandarstavric]

you need a proof ?? During Friday everyone abandoned Him but after Sunday - those who abandoned Him were ready to give (and many gave ) their lives for him - because they saw resurrection .

[DesireeOkethaClay]

We all have the right to believe what we believe. It will not add any more days to your life trying to control someone else's narrative. For me God is real, and that should not bother anyone.

By HIS grace and Mercy alone was I resurrected when I litteraly died in the arms of My X-husband in April! I had comitted EVERY SINGLE SIN OF DEATH THERE IS and still did he save me! I was not even a true believer - but now I am a TRUE KNOWER! The spirit flew out of My mouth like a Dove and I saw My dead vessel from above in the arms of My X-husband. He kissed my vessels forhead and the Dove returned again in to My mouth like a Dove and I lived again. After this I am not the same and all my vessels evildoings were revealed to me and I so truly REPENT . I found myself ALL THROUGH THE BOOK OF LIFE, THE HOLY BIBLE, and realised after beeing showed that everything was happening Because I had forsaken Our Father - the Creator of ALL THINGS! Please, we need to spread THE word - that our Lord and savior Jesus Christ is comming sooner than we can imagine, and go through our lives and repent! The kingdom of heaven is at hand! Love and Peace be to us all! Amen
