Proof of Jesus witnessing "tidbits and funfacts" to use

List your favorite "Jesus is real because..." witnessing techniques here, please.

I personally like this:

The odds of Jesus Christ being the true Messiah and fullfilling the prophecies he did are equal to covering the entire state of Texas ankle-deep with quarters, marking one with an "X", blindfolding your friend and asking him to find it.


Ok, lets keep this list going, and make them fun, and imaginative, as this can/will help others to witness to strangers, friends and family.

I wish that I could take credit for this, but I read this in the book Share Jesus without Fear by William Fay:

Ask "How many people would it take flipping a quarter before one person hit heads thirty times in a row?" According to Ripley's Believe It or Not, for a flipped coin to land on heads fifty times in a row would require one million people flipping ten coins a minute for forty hours a week -- and then it would only happen once every 9 centuries!

Answer: That's why I believe the Bible is true. Taking the 30 prophecies about the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus that have come true, that's like flipping heads 30 times in a row.

Additionally, ask how many people would it take flipping a coin to make itr land on heads 245 times in a row? Because that's a conservative estimate of the number of Biblical prophecies that were supposed to come true and have come true.

Look at the Earth and universe around you. Thats proof right there!

This is more of a creation story, but it relates to Jesus regardless since He was there at the Creation.

Two scientists lived next door to each other: one Christian, one atheist. They were good friends and worked in adjacent laboratories. The atheist and Christian frequently talked at length about the origins of the earth. The Christian said that God created the earth, but the atheist insisted that science had proven evolution to be true. They were cordial in their debates, but each tried to draw the other toward his side of the argument. The Christian had an artist create a large wooden globe which had superb detail of the mountains and landscape of the earth. Once the project was finished, the Christian invited the atheist over to show him his new possession. The atheist said "wow! Who made that?!?" The Christian said "No one. It just sort of appeared out of nowhere." The atheist immediately was dumbfounded and realized the point the Christian was making. He finally recanted his disbelief in God, the Creator and was saved.



We see God's power as much larger than we can fathom. To many, it is so omniscient that people disbelieve simply based on that idea. It is like trying to imagine how much room $1 billion dollars in pennies would take up. Sometimes, we need to show a more worldly example for people to understand that the Bible is true. That is why Jesus spoke in parables. He wanted the people to understand completely, so He spoke to them in ways they would understand.

God bless you,
Dave

This sounds like you're giving evedince that Jesus wasn't real or whatever. I know for a fact you're not doing this; I'm just missing something. Explain it to me because I want to understand. Thx.

As for proving if Jesus was real and did what he did, you could always refer back to "The Case for Faith". Gives some facts and some very scientific reasons for those who need a little budge before they can "believe without seeing".

that doesnt sound very promising........

yeah... o_O or is it just me?

Isaiah 43
1 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.

Thing is.... HE DID fulfill all those prophecies concerning the Messiah-- it's just that the odds of one person fulfillina all of them are about as astronomical as that illustration portrays, so the only logical conclusion was that Jesus was, in fact, the Messiah.

But then when you run into someone who takes no stock whatever in prophecy or believes that someone could well have written the Gospels to make it LOOK like Jesus was the Messiah, that we run into trouble... but that's probably a subject for a different thread.

If anyone wants a full listing of all the prophesies fullfilled, you can read "The new evidence that demands a verdict" by Josh McDowell. But if you don't want to read a 900 page book, read "More than a carpenter" by the same author. It's a compelling summary of the 900 page book and is often used for witnessing. It's a cheap & small book. Just a few dollars each. You can get it in packs of 5 or 10 at your Christian resource centres. It also has plenty of compelling facts about Jesus' ressurection including a listing of what happened to the apostles (11 were executed). This usually works when people claim "Jesus did it for profit of some kind" or "Jesus didnt come back from the dead". If it were for some kind of profit such as to further the Jewish cause or gain something for themselves, then people are in awe to hear all these people got out of it from a worldly point of view was a gruesome death. And as I said it has some good points to bring up in regards to the ressurection.

"More than a carpenter" by Josh McDowell is a must read for all Christians, IMHO.
