Is Jesus TRULY Unique? The Evidence You’ve Never Heard | MUST-WATCH Interview with UK Theologian

The evidence for Jesus is stronger than you think.
In this episode Samuel Marusca engages in an insightful conversation with renowned theologian Christopher Wright, delving into profound questions surrounding the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. From discussing the resurrection to exploring Jesus in the Old Testament, we unravel the depths of his character and significance. Discover the portrayal of Jesus in the Old Testament and how it shapes our understanding of his identity.

Chris Wright delves into the diverse names attributed to Jesus in the Bible and their profound meanings and assesses the historical evidence for Jesus's existence and the concept of his divinity, including insights from early sources and the Council of Nicea.

Challenge your perspectives as we compare Jesus with other historical figures and contemplate his unparalleled moral standards.

My daughter was sadly bought up as an atheists and she is trying to make sense of my very sudden transformation. It was scary for her because the change almost overnight was 360 degree. We are just learning how to talk about faith and God with her looking, just blank its a very slow and very delicate process learning how to communicate God love for her and is calling her life so I pray for a mircle. My sense of responsibility for her and other atheists weights heavy on me because I get that she just does not understand. There is no conceptual framework. That is why I have to pray for a miracle that God himself opens the mind, understanding, and heart. The same goes for those of other faith. It feels like evangelism is not enough. Something supernatural is needed for our age. I think that's possible simply because it happened to me.

[Anna-mcll]

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful conversation!

Have you ever interviewed Sharon James, who is the author of several books about Christianity, for instance, and ? If not, do you think you could invite her soon?


On the other hand, could you possibly make a podcast on the issue of diversity within Christianity itself? How should someone who is struggling to become a Christian actually decide which of the numerous denominations is the “right” one? To be honest, for someone who is outside the Christian community, it is oftentimes very confusing to see so many different—sometimes even contradicting—viewpoints …

Thank you once again for your great work on this channel!

May God bless you!

Respectfully,
Anna

"ALL THAT WE DISCOVER ABOUT OUR UNIVERSE, GOD SPOKE IT FIRST."

[malato]

It says in scripture that “He” Jesus, doesn’t have eyes like us or ears like us. He judges in righteous judgment, it’s hard to explain but when I read his words, I know He loves me, He loves us. As believers I think we all really hear His word. He said to the Pharisee why do you not hear me, because you don’t understand my word? He said, my sheep hear my voice that we don’t listen to strangers, that we flee from them. That’s me…that’s us, as believers as future believers as well.

[jongeo]

When beliving in Jesus one thing to understand is Jesus is not only in Bible but he is a Historical figure, and there are many historical documents to support his existence, and also other prominent characters . But its an irony to learn, how the people of this century things that its a fairy tail.

[edwindiaz]

CHRIST IS THEE ONLY ONE WHO OFFERS ETERNAL LIFE. IN HIS PRESENCE. CAUSE THERE IS ETERNAL LIFE FOR THE WICKED BUT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. OUCH, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PLACE YOUR TRUST. THATS THE REALITY OF LIFE.😊

[canwelook]

If even the disciples who lived with Jesus every day for 3+ years didn't believe in him... why would you, who are only told unverifiable stories of a supposed historical figure you've never met?... And, worse, you are instructed to believe, without doubt, "on faith" i.e. without proper or sufficient evidence.

The truth is .... first resurection was of a hindu priest (yes, priest. Not god) who went to who died and was buried ... later they opened his grave .. buy it was empty ... and after thar he re-emerged in india.

There you have it. The first resurection.
