Former atheist shares what the “greatest legal mind” said when he was asked to reach a verdict on whether the resurrection of Christ was real.
Sir Lionel Luckhoo was the most successful defense attorney in the world. He won 245 murder trials in a row.
But one day, someone asked him to apply his legendary legal skill to reach an informed verdict on whether Jesus actually rose from the dead.
Luckhoo had been skeptical of the resurrection—but after spending years investigating the evidence, he came to this conclusion:
“I say unequivocally that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely NO ROOM FOR DOUBT.”
PBD guest and journalist Lee Strobel shared that Sir Lionel Luckhoo’s sister just happened to be one of his neighbors.
She showed Strobel her brother’s papers, and it was “ultimately a confirmation” of what he discovered in his own research—that the evidence for the resurrection of Christ was overwhelming.

The moment Charlie Kirk got through to Bill Maher and made him realize how “generous” Jesus Christ is. KIRK: “Judgment is getting what you deserve. Mercy is getting less than what you deserve. Grace—” MAHER: “Wait, wait. Mercy is getting less than what you deserve?” KIRK: “Yeah, so we believe Jesus gives us grace. So you get a prison sentence, you get judgment, you get mercy, you get less of a prison sentence. Grace would be Jesus serving that prison sentence for you so you could live life eternal.” MAHER: “Well, how is he serving that? Oh, you mean like in the big picture?” KIRK: “Well, because we believe him living a perfect life and then suffering the death that he did on the cross was him atoning for our sins. The sins of humanity. Which is a big claim, albeit a very compelling one, which we also believe to be true. Because it redeems all of humanity of our short-falling of the glory of God.” MAHER: “I gotta say, it’s really picking up the check for the whole table. I mean, you gotta give it to your boy. For all of our sins? It’s a very generous thing. Very generous!”

Rosaria Butterfield on her conversion:
"The power of the Word of God flowed into my life, and I fled to Christ in repentance and belief, and I wondered 'What in the world is going to happen to me now?' And the reason was this, I was actually not converted out of homosexuality. I was converted out of unbelief, but because I was converted, the Lord showed me how He changes the affections of His people.
So those are two separate things, but they go together because God changes affections. The Lord Jesus Christ pays for the sins of His people on the cross, but He also shows you how to break the chains of bondage, and that is the one piece that the evangelical church doesn't talk about enough, doesn't teach enough, and that is called the doctrine of sanctification."

@PaulAnleitner Thank you for explaining this! Every one keeps talking about how great it is and I hate it. I thought I was the crazy one. I think you summed it up perfectly when you simply said: it’s not Star Wars.
English
So you watched Andor and thought it was brilliantly executed.
But something about it didn’t quite feel like Star Wars. Why?
Because Andor is a secular, Bolshevik-style revolution set in space.
The original Star Wars “Rebellion” is about restoring true religion & sacred order through the defeat of demonic darkness.
Andor is almost completely devoid of any mention of Star Wars “religion” as a motivating factor for any character.
Their revolution is purely material, political, and class-based. Sound historically familiar?

@DrAlmarielao Life in prison WAS the merciful verdict. He should have been executed. THAT would have been justice.
English
A 14-year-old boy, speeding in a car with friends, decides to show off. Catching up to a woman on the road, he yells, curses, and pulls out a gun firing into her car. When police arrive, she’s dead. The boy is arrested, tried, and sentenced to life in prison.
One life was tragically taken, and another is effectively ended before it had a chance to fully begin. This is a heartbreaking case that raises so many questions about accountability, judgment, and development. On one hand, justice demands consequences. On the other, a child’s brain isn’t fully developed, especially when it comes to impulse control and understanding long-term consequences. Shouldn’t there be more focus on rehabilitation for teenagers, even in cases this severe? How do we balance justice with the chance for redemption? What do you think? Is 14 old enough to face a life sentence? Can someone so young truly understand the gravity of their actions, or the weight of spending their life in prison?
