 Sorry Lee... this comes up short!!! November 8, 2008

I watched the DVD - The Case For The Creator. Awesome! Bravo! I'm now an absolute believer in GOD!! Thanks Lee!!
However, Lee, dropped the ball on this one!! I think everything verified here was mostly substantiated by the bible itself (98.5%).
Are you kidding me?
A man (GODs Son) that travels around with multitudes of people, 12 disciples, performed miracles, constantly says comments that were very blasphemous in those times, rose from the dead [yet] still is not found in any documentation other than the bible. WOW!!! Yes, you may find at best a weak statement or two, regarding a Christ and or a Savior yet you have to try really hard to accept that Jesus himself was whom they were referring to!!
I'm sorry I'm not convinced by Lee's case. I too have and still am personally searching for truth in documenation (as Lee does here).
One very ironic thing I have discovered... The lists of Jesus attributes are unbelievably ~VERBATIM~ to that of many mythological characters found in many cultures around the world (Horus is one of them). All were way before Jesus time.
I feel compelled to believe that Jesus himself was based on myth from 1,000's of years before he was born. All whom were "Sun God's" - the telling of how the Sun Of Man (not son) has and will save the world ...and continues to save us all every day and year.
Huh? Astronomy was used a lot in the early years of man!!! So stories were told about how the Sun is found on Dec. 25th lowest in the sky (think stars) seemingly motionless and dying for three days being found during this 3 day period in "The Southern Cross" (dying on the cross) only to rise again (rising from death into the heavens) thus renewing their seasons and length of time our/their precious SUN is found in the sky!!
Don't want to believe the latter staement nor delve that deep into mythology? Watch "Zeitgeist - The Movie" this is substantiated by multiple (not one) sources.
 Investigating the claims of Christ August 3, 2008

This DVD is just over an hour of entry-level apologetics (defense of the faith). If you were looking into the claims of Christ, this would be a great start. Lee Strobel was a former journalist for the Chicago Tribune that clamed atheism. Once his wife became a Christian, it set him into a two-year investigation of the claims of Christ. This DVD is the Readers Digest version of that investigation. His entire investigation is recorded in his book "The Case for Christ."
If you are already a Christian, you will find this video to be a great start in bolstering your apologetic. It touches on areas of manuscript evidence, extra biblical evidence, eyewitness accounts, predictive prophecy and the resurrection of Christ. This is a very high quality film, just as another one of Lee's films, "The Case for a Creator."
This video kept my ten year old entertained, even though many parts were over her head. However, it was certainly too much for my seven year old, but he did sit through it. Any documentary on biblical evidence that can keep a seven year old entertained, says a lot for the quality. I recommend viewing this video; it is completely something that I would be comfortable passing out to Christians and non-Christians alike.
Brings it to life... July 19, 2008
Well done Lee. I was raised Roman Catholic, but lost interest in religion during my teen aged years. I've since reconnected with God, and this book has added dimension to the Bible. It answers many of the questions which were left unanswered in the past and contributed to disconnect from religion. I've just finished reading this book for the second time.
I would recommend it to all Christians who have unanswered questions about Jesus, who's faith is under attack, or for those who arent quite sure what to believe.
Lee's writing style is easy to read. And I found it easy to imagine I was in the room with the scholars he interviewed.
A Christian Film that is actually good July 17, 2008
Lee Strobel does a great job researching and discussing the Case for Christ in this DVD. He brings in multiple speakers from the actual book, and we get to see and hear each of their personalities and ideas. Not only does he have Protestants give their ideas, but he has Jews and Catholics as well.
The only problem I had with it, is in the very last section, the pace slows down and you start to get bored. Other than that, very well done.
Truly a must. July 7, 2008
Lee Strobel does a wonderful job of explaning the central issue of life. All men are inherently aware that they are sinners facing eternity so they either must find a way to save themselves or find a savior. There is only one worthy of trust for eternal life.
It is a must read for anyone honestly seeking the Truth.
