Episode 140: Counterfeit Jesus: Atheism/Agnosticism

Christ, Culture, & Coffee

Continuing our series Counterfeit Jesus, this episode looks into the claims of atheists and agnostics in regard to who the historical Jesus actually was. Some claim that Jesus never even existed. However, many atheists and agnostics admit that Jesus existed, but they claim that he is not who the New Testament claims he is. As Christians, we need to be able to answer the arguments that suggest Jesus is not God, and that he did not rise from the dead. Is the deity and resurrection of Jesus a legendary account that developed over a period of time? Was Jesus lying? Was Jesus crazy? Were the writers of the New Testament lying? Were they crazy? These questions need to be answered with good evidence and reason. As we seek to defend the claims of Christianity, we need to be prepared for every counterfeit Jesus that is suggested by other religions, worldviews, and cults.
