Strobel is both an attorney and a journalist, and while he was objectively seeking the truth, he did start out with a preconceived conclusion…to disprove the claims of Jesus’ divinity.

He found the truth, and he was honest enough to change his preconceived notions.

God loves you, and he offers you His love (what you call “that experience”) whether you accept it or not.

All of mankind descends from people who knew God personally. There are few people on Earth who have never heard of Him, but even for those, they had ancestors who at one point knew of Him, but turned their back on Him.

God doesn’t condemn us to hell. We condemn ourselves. Adam chose to bring sin into the world through his own willful disobedience. God loves us so much that he sent his only Son to take the full punishment of all of our sin.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:16-17

Got that? God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

If you reject the gift of His Son, you reject salvation from Hell.

I don’t want you to go to hell, but if you do go, don’t blame God for that…it’s not His fault, it’s yours.

I have my own very strong reasons to believe that a personal god does not exist. Most Christians I know say they have had an experience in their lives, that they say has led them to be absolutely positive that god exists, and that he is personally involved in their lives. My answer to them when they say that is:

What sort of loving god gives you that experience, and not others?
Why does this god give millions of Americans that experience, but leaves the people in remote South American tribes completely alone?
What sort of loving god allows someone to live a good life, and just because he used the inquisitive mind supposedly given to him by, and in the image of, god to question his existence, condemns him to an eternity in hell?

A Seasoned Journalist Chases Down the Biggest Story in History

The Project: Determine if there’s credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God.

The Reporter: Lee Strobel, educated at Yale Law School, award-winning former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune—with a background of atheism.

The Experts: A dozen scholars, with doctorates from Cambridge, Princeton, Brandeis, and other top-flight institutions, who are recognized authorities on Jesus.

The Story: Retracing his own spiritual journey, Strobel cross-examines the experts with tough, point-blank questions: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual historical event? . . .

This remarkable book reads like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it’s not fiction. It’s a riveting quest for the truth about history’s most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ?

Black Liberation Theology, is not “ridiculous”, it’s Marxist.
And it is part and parcel of what Obama believes.

What is taught in most churches in America is truth. And Obama rejects that truth, yet still wants people to believe he is a Christian.

I just feel that it’s only slightly more ridiculous than that which is taught at the rest of the churches.
