  I love watching atheist videos dunking on charismatic Christian youtubers then watching Trent meticulously tear apart all their arguments without talking down to anyone.

  Apart from the Holy Gospel, the evidence for God is everywhere, one just has to seek it.

  One of the most compelling arguments for the resurrection

  I'm not a Roman Catholic, but this was very well done.

  So, let me get this straight, Trent. The same people calling the Bible "unreliable" now pretend that if something is not found in the same Bible, then it's decisively false. Give me a break!🙄

  Paul&apos;s conversion and martyrdom is a very good argument.

  Both Peter and Paul were under arrest and had trial. They had every opportunity to recant.

  This was one of the arguments that led me to become Christian a couple of months ago. Thanks for defending it so well, Trent!

  Great video Trent.<br><br>Because the Christian faith makes historical claims about itself, the historical arguments are perhaps the most important arguments for Christianity, because they are the most testable. Jimmy Akin did a great job responding to Bart Ehrman&apos;s objections to the gosples being reliable (at least in the areas where it matters most) both in their last debate and on his website. However, on his website there is an objection in the comment section under the section Who Was Jesus&apos; Grandfather that is worth making a response to.
