Why Skeptics Don't Think Jesus Was Buried But I Do: The Mark Series pt 67 (

- They tell me that the internet is where religion goes to die but they also tell me the internet is full of poor research and unreasonable arguments.
We are going to get pretty technical today. Lots of different threads of evidence will be explained and drawn together to support the factuality of the burial of Jesus by Joseph of Arimathea. This may seem like it's not big deal if you haven't recognized the evidential value of the burial and empty tomb for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. I'll be drawing from the work of a number of different scholars (Craig Evans is particularly helpful) and responding to the work of Dr. Bart Ehrman, who has influenced countless people to reject the resurrection of Christ.
This is part 67 of the Mark Series, going verse by verse through the Gospel of Mark. Today we are in Mark 15:42-46.

Ehrman's article on the evidence from nails.

I have live videos Mondays and Fridays at 1pm Pacific Time. Monday is a Bible study and Friday is a Q&A.
Feel free to use my videos in your own gatherings as an aid to studying Scripture.

Whenever I talk about the evidence for God and Christianity, I feel like no one cares, both believers and non-believers alike. It makes me feel lonely sometimes, but watching your videos remedies that. Thank you for all your hard work!
Me too 😂😂😂
Same. Im astonished how brothers and sisters dont care about proofs. They rather have their safe blind fate for some reason
Proofs are difficult to get when you haven’t been there at the time Jesus lived and died. It’s even more difficult when there are no original writings of any letter and book in the bible. Still more difficult when there are no good sources outside of scripture, the few we have are open to different interpretations. The only real proof is to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to allow Him to guide you into all the truth. And that is precisely what Jesus instructed his followers to do. Never did he say that they should create another bible, he wants us all to be taught by God Himself. The bible is only useful to guide us to God and learn about Jesus, but unlike what the Roman State Church taught for nearly two thousand years, using every trick in the book from manipulation, lying and violence, to push a Roman doctrine about Christ and not the truth Jesus actually taught, the letter kills, the Spirit makes alive. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and cone out of the Hure of Babylon. Judgement will start at the house of God first, and we are at the brink of this happening in our lifetime. Pray for revival of the Holy Spirit, He is the one most neglected in the church and yet the only hope that we can escape the coming judgement. Jesu takes shape in us through Him only, not through the teachings of any man or woman. Teachers in the church have only one role, to lead us to God, and how to be taught by Him. Once they did their job we don’t need any teachers anymore because we’re taught by God himself. However, pastors and teachers don’t like this freedom we have in the Spirit and want to enslave us to their teachings and judgements. They want us to be dependent on them instead of God.
@Justin Gary don’t say „proof“ but „evidence“. It has never been proven that Jesus existed but there is good evidence he did. You can only proof it to yourself by being filled with the Holy Spirit and Him guiding you into all the truth. To know God is always a personal experience and unless someone opens himself up to want to sincerely know the truth you can never convince them. But you can always ask them to pray that God reveals Himself to them.
@@rightousliving the hure of babylon? What are you talking about?
I laughed out loud when you said, "Hopefully this is more important to you than the video game you are playing", as I'm playing a game on my phone while watching this video! It turns out it IS more important. I'm just glad I can multitask.
I was playing Stellaris on PS4 and I'm like "stop looking at me, I'm listening okay, I can conquer galaxies and learn apologetics at the same time"
@@FalconOfStorms You're not truly giving God your whole ear and mind though.
@@NoahBuie whack. For one thing, Mike isn't God and this isn't a sermon. This is an apologetics podcast and it's quite likely that I would have understood more of it than you did even if I was being waterboarded the entire time.
@@FalconOfStorms pretty prideful for you to say that
@@NoahBuie and not for you to treat me as if I have the attention span of a goldfish and can't understand a series of facts while playing a game? Listen friend, I'm going to need you to get allll the way off my back with this nonsense.
Yours is hands down one of the best channels on CZcams!
I cannot say enough how encouraging Mike has been for my faith. May God bless him, his family, and those that help him with his ministry.
Nothing can compare to the word of Christ. That’s why I believe in him.

Your style of teaching is clear and enjoyable. Appreciate you using the gifts God gave you and sharing them with me.
@Pastor Mike your work has been a great blessing to me, at exactly the right time. Thank you. May God bless and keep you and your loved ones. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
@Justin Gary Hi. I have been saved for a number of years, so I'm very familiar with apologetics, arguments for creation, eschatology etc.
I was referring to the timely manner in which Jesus chose to bring the work and, more importantly, humility of pastor Mike to my attention. It's been a difficult couple of years, but the Lord has blessed me with a sound mind through tough times. All praise to Jesus Christ, our Lord.
It's very kind of you to share so much information and stand ready to give a defense for your faith (as we have been commanded.) Seeing that from someone is encouraging in these times. God bless you for that. I believe Jesus will return soon and He will set things right again. We are standing witness to the end of the age, and the accuracy of Biblical prophecy is a great source of comfort to us and an invaluable tool to reach the lost. Have a wonderful day.
@Justin Gary You look young. It's even more encouraging to see a young man on fire for the Lord. I feel worried for the youth of today and the deception is rampant, so reading through your understanding and application of apologetics is a blessing. It's exciting to find out that I have younger brothers like you.
Hi there, fellow South African!

Save from what?
LOVED this teaching!! Please don’t make them shorter - we need all the facts! 👏🏻👏🏻 😍 I’m becoming more and more of a Bible geek and it’s wonderful! 😄
This study was so interesting. The evidence with so well presented and with humour as a bonus.
Sad moment when you realize the Mark series is almost over.
Celebrate what's left! 😁❤️
@Justin Gary You genius! 😂
Or, he can tackle Revelation. Or not.
I can't wait for the next series though!
Yes! And thankful that we can go back and watch it all again! Actually, I plan to go back and go through all the links in each video, kinda like going back to look through your notes to shore up what you learned. I’m excited about that. And I think it’s time to watch his Jesus in the OT series! 😃🎉🎉🎉
this is legendary. this is strange to admit, but I have never really been interested in the historical evidence of the gospels and specifically Jesus death + resurrection. Which is crazy really! But to see all the evidence - and then to link back to our future hope. Incredible - thank you for this series.
I agree. Growing up, I loved the Bible, but Jesus wasn't even one of my favorite characters. I (as a young boy) preferred the exciting war stories of King David over the wise teachings of Jesus. Now as an adult and am coming across unbelievable amounts of evidence for Jesus, His death, and Resurrection, not only has Jesus become my favorite subject in the Bible, but I hardly care about anything else outside of the Bible in comparison. I go all day obsessing about this stuff now.
I agree!
Maybe you were scared to find out it was fake, but it clearly is not. You can have full confidence in the truth of your faith
The argument that 'it was the rules/uncommon so it never happened reminds me of the time Frank Turek got into an argument with a sceptic who claimed that we should not trust the authorship of the gospels because, on average, most people were illiterate and couldn't write in Greek. Bafflingly weak stuff.
And yet, the authorship of these gospels accounts has not been estblished.
@@thekingofthings2002 Prove all _what_ stuff? Yes, I am telling you that biblical historians such as I, cannot determine the authorship of the canonical gospels.
So, again, prove all _what_ stuff?

Mike, I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you for all your hard work and content. I really needed this in my journey and has helped me so much.

Facts don't lie, but the ones who present them sometimes do. Integrity is crucial... that's why I love learning from Mike Winger the Bible Thinger (someone who knows all things biblical)!
UNDERSTANDING JOHN 3:16
(John 3:14) as Moses lifted up the "serpent" in the wilderness even so must the son of man(jesus) be lifted up
(Numbers 21:5-9) the people spoke against God n Moses and the LORD sent "serpents" among the ppl and much ppl of ISRAEL died and the ppl came to Moses n said pray that the "serpents" be taken away and the LORD said make thee a "serpent" and set it upon a pole and "everyone"(Israelites) that is bitten when he looketh upon it shall live

(John 17:9) I pray for them I pray NOT for the "WORLD"
(1st john 2:15) if any man love the "WORLD" the love of the father is not in him
(Hebrews 1:2) whom he has appointed heir of all things by whom also he made the "WORLD'SSS"
(Joel 2:32) and it shall come to pass that "WHOSOEVER" shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered for in MT ZION and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance as the LORD hath said
(Acts 2:21-22) and it shall come to pass that "WHOSOEVER" shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved YE MEN OF ISRAEL HEAR THESE WORDS
(Matthew 15:24) I am NOT sent BUT unto the lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL
(Isaiah 45:17) but ISRAEL shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded "WORLD" without end
(Jeremiah 3:23) truly INVAIN is salvation hoped for from the multitude of nations truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of ISRAEL
God's word doesn't contradict itself nor is God schizophrenic obviously the world spoken of in john 3:16 is ISRAEL

I extremely appreciate the detail you used to support your arguments. You didn’t lose me in the process! So cool to see how our faith is so well preserved and validated by proper historical study and scientific fact.
Mike: "Hopefully this is more important to you than the video game you are playing!"
Me (playing Tetris while listening to the video): Surprised Pikachu Face!
Same. Working on my DIY’s. I’m always listening to Mike as I work!
Ditto. Mike is always in the background. I absorb teaching while doing a mundane game on my phone.
For me it would be 'folding laundry' XD Mike's teaching is a good way to coax yourself into doing that mundane chore.

I’m so grateful to God for you. Thank you for your insightful, well put together videos.
Thank you for your presentation. That he was laid in a rich man's tomb, would be a fulfillment of prophecy, Isaiah 53:9. Keep up the work.
Thank you for this wonderful teaching, Pastor Mike. Your in-depth context makes scripture so much easier to understand and defend!
Wow... You were given a word from God... I was indeed playing a videogame when listening... And yes i am interested and listeneing.
I absolutely love these teachings. Thank you for the time you invest in bringing us this information. You don't give yourself enough credit as to how interesting these topics are. I never had doubts as to Jesus' resurrection but this is great info to have in case I run into someone that does. God bless you Mike.
Thank you Pastor Mike, this is fascinating!!!! I also love your sense of humor you make me laugh out loud sometime.
Absolutely love “the content you want to make “ .......thanku so much for all your work mike
Just a word from someone you will more than likely, never meet:
You have become an important part of my spiritual growth. I started following you because it was evident from the first that you are a humble, intelligent, driven, loving man of God, who, if possible, would walk every individual into salvation. Your dedication too so many is encouraging in many ways. Thank you, Pastor, for every minute in study and every word you teach. Teachers with your thought processes and easy to learn from technique is not easy to find. I for one am very grateful, you have helped me tremendously and I watch you daily. I thank God for you and your family.
You are absolutely astounding. The hours you put in to edify us lost sheep must be exhausting. Thank you for making this a fun journey. Jesus surely knows you by name.
This is fascinating and I'm so glad you shared it. Thank you.
Mike, thank you so much for all the hard work and research you do. I'm praying for your ministry brother. Keep up doing the great work!
Thank you Mike for all of your hard work and research.
Another fantastic message. Makin my way through mark with you. Love the historical pictures you put up. Helps so much! God bless! Hope your fully recovered from the plague.
Thank you for going into the weeds and for supporting your work with professional sources like the journal articles. Love this stuff ❤️
So grateful for Pr. Mike's careful research and rebuttal of the works of Bart Ehrman.
Pr Mike is also so calm and respectful, even of atheistic scholars such as Ehrman, (who it seems is none too careful with his facts.)
Thank you for putting these videos out and your thorough research on these topics!
But you see, its your enthusiasm for such specific detail, its explicit relevance to the topic at hand, and the clarity with which you present it that makes me greatly enjoy and value your teaching Pastor Mike! I WANT you to keep bringing in this this level of detail.
Thank you for all the effort you put into preparing for these teachings Mike, I learn a lot and enjoy watching it. May the Lord abundantly bless you!
Super interesting Mike, you did a great job with this!
Mike’s shirt perfectly matches his microphone and pop filter. Love it 👍🏻
History is vastly ignored or mistreated and often both in our country!
Thank you for this video mike i was battling in faith hearing erhmans interview and this video helped more than you know
46:28, "This is the paper. Yeah, I read it. Understood some of it." :-) That was a hilarious line!
Thank you for your ministry Mike
Thank you for your videos, I've been trying to take a step back from politics and focus on faith and your videos have been helpful. I believe it's important for Christians to try to be informed about the state of the world, but I also want to make sure that I'm in line with scripture and I'm informed on that
Good stuff as always. Thank you for all your time in study and commitment to sharing truth. :)
LOVE this kind if stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Don’t worry, Mike. What you’re saying definitely matters. Sure, there may be some people who don’t care, but I really enjoyed every bit of this.
Even the parts where you trail off, because to me, it’s more information being given that holds a lot of value.
Had you not trailed off and explained all of those things, then there’s a good chance we probably would have never learned about them.
I just wanted to throw that out there so you know there are definitely people watching who appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos.
I wasn’t lost or uninterested. It’s exciting to learn, for me personally, and I’m sure there’s lots more people who feel the same way.
It’s like thinking you had a puzzle completely solved, but then someone found a missing piece and brought it to you when you had no idea it was even gone in the first place.
You’re helping to make the story of Christ more complete, and I thank you for that.
Also, a little side note.
Not sure if you hear this often, but I think you’re hilarious.
Thank you Mike for this video
Thank you Pastor Mike for your hard work and dedication, patience and research. This is a grand piece. You're an awesome teacher, easy to follow because you stay on point. Thank you kindly 🙏
There is no true Christianity without the resurrection. Amen. Truth.
Your high quality research and clear teaching style is much appreciated. You’re right, how many of us have 50 hours to use looking into all these issues in-depth? Thank you for doing all the heavy lifting for the building up of our faith.
This is gold! Thanks for this account of the evidence. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the overwhelming evidence for the ressurrection and I thought I'd heard it all. However, I had never heard this before. My mind is kind of blown right now hearing that there is even more evidence for the historicity of the gospel accounts than I realised.
Great teaching! I LOVE the in-depth study. Thank you so much. The archaeological information was fascinating. It is even more evidence to assure us that our faith in Jesus Christ is a sure foundation with much evidence to support, verify, confound the skeptic and bless the believer. Thank you!!
Brother Mike I must say you are such a humble and a transparent teacher of the Word , I respect you immensely !
I thank God for you!
In Christ
lol, it's funny what you said about video games because I almost exclusively listen to these 1 hr videos when I'm gaming
Thank you so much. This is so important.
Tihis is good stuff! GOD bless you Pastor Mike.
God bless you for the work that you put into these "conversations." God bless you. ❤
Oh wow I had an LOL moment there. At the 48:15 point, Mike says "I hope this matters more than playing that vidoo game". It does. I was listening. Aaaaaand playing solitaire on my phone. Wow. Praise Jesus! Thanks Mike for the work you have done here and are continuing to do. It really has helped me personally.
Thank you Mike for your research and presentation in every day English. I appreciate it greatly, thank you.
Thank you Mike really enjoyed this. I love and appreciate these deep studies. I pity those skeptics who has no idea what awaits them if they dont repent. And FYI we well i donot mind the long sessions on fridays.
Thanks for the episode! 👍
THANK YOU, for this great information. Please keep up this great work.
YES! I care very much about this! Thank you for presenting this!
48:13 Pastor Mike, I feel attacked. I’m listening to this while playing my video game.
This video and this topic are a tremendous blessing and thank you for your work and care in this matter. I’m a Christian because of God’s work in redeeming my life and soul in the person and work of Christ Jesus, but I love evidence to support my discussions with skeptics and my own edification.
God bless you, your audience and your ministry.
Very good video Mike. Always interesting and insightful. I hope God lets me rember this info if I need to witness to a skeptic
I love diving into the weeds like this. This is how I chase down facts too. Lots of how's and why's! 👏👏 thank you pastor mike!
I appreciate your work - God bless.
Thank you for making these videos. As a Christian, but not a biblical scholar, you give me enough information to reread what you go over and to remember it when having these discussions.
Thank you for your ministry 🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Thanks so much for your teaching Mike! I’m not the sharpest tool in the box so I appreciate how you break things down and explain facts so clearly. All very encouraging to my faith and understanding answers to things I’ve often wondered about 🤔.
Thank You Brother Mike, God Bless You
God loves what you do.
Mike, I am so glad you made this video. I’ve seen people in other CZcams channels that have presented the same argument. One with Rabbi Tovia Singer on MythVision, just to offer an example. I was disturbed by what I heard there. Thanks for doing the research so I didn’t have to do it myself. God bless!
I listen to you every night you’re such a wonderful teacher thank you so much for the time that you put into your videos this was excellent wow thank you thank you
I cannot even imagine how much time it takes to find all this information, but I'm a 'rabbit-holer' and I appreciate all of it! Wow!!!!!
Thank you so much Pastor for preaching the Truth.. May GOD bless you and your family...
The power and truth and love of Christianity fully resides in Christ being with us always. That goes beyond anything of the body.
"Judge not by appearance but judge by righteous judgment."...Jesus Christ
No Mike, you did not lose me, I am 52 minutes in so far and have been going to the sources you have referenced from those written by Josephus, to the Divi Augusti, to the Digest , very eye opening
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, such a blessing, hours of research condensed into about 1 hour. All sound Bible based teaching.
Thank you for faithfully bringing proof of our Savior’s life, death and life. I respect and enjoy your videos which always edify me.

The nerdy historian in me loved this! Thanks
No way I've learned more about the Bible in 6-7 years from CZcams ministries than I ever did in a brick church. I love being able to pick and choose my internet pastors. I learn different things from different people and if what they are saying seems off I can turn it off I didn't have to go join a church and have to leave it. I love your gentle teaching style and how you make it easy to learn then on the opposite side I like Sam Shamoun for his unbelievable knowledge of scripture and it's all memorized his deep dives are amazing but not such a gentle way but still the way he puts the types and shadows together are truly a gift from God. I don't agree with his stance on Roman catholic church but I take the meat and spit out the bones. So far your doctrine lines up with I believe to be true close to a good %95. I think God has used the internet for great blessing to many people.
Apologetics is so interesting! I’m an English major and I’m taking new testament next semester and I’m so pumped! I’ve been working my way through the old and new testament. Switching back and forth so I don’t get burnt out.
Amazing, clear explanation!!
Teach us to research as you did on this topic so we can do it thank you.
Enjoyed and learned from this.
Great teaching...very interesting. I love history connecting with the Bible! 🙌💖 I have hope in Christ raising from the dead, if Jesus couldn't break the hold of death than what hope would we have...None! But HE did so that we could have life...FOREVER! ✝️
I remember when I was 13 and God knocked on my heart, and the moment in my life when the bible became not just any old book of ancient parables but a history book; and I sat there thinking, there must be a more logical, simple reason for all this. Clearly, a dead guy didn't come back to life. What really happened. So I sat down and watched the history channel, this was 1993-1994; "The History of Jesus" but it should have been titled "The Skeptics of The Jesus Seminar Rewrite & Reimagine History". I heard all the major theories of the day, and I said, they look desperate for me right now in my moment of near belief to believe anything but the bible. I turned it off and said, you have to have more faith to believe septics than the bible, and then I read "A Care for Christ". Their points haven't changed in 27 years; they are saying the same stupid things. They act like the Romans were stupid. You don't run one of the biggest empires in the world and not know how to kill someone. That's like saying, the Nazis had gas chambers but did the Jews really did from them, did the Nazis know how to kill people?
That brings to mind that as far as I know there hasn't been a parade of skeptics volunteering themselves to be scourged and crucified and stabbed with a spear as described in the Bible so they can prove it is possible to not die from that.
Two months ago I let God in and then i had my doubts...
Then I realized that Christianity literally had more evidence for it than against it so It was stupid not to beleive
You have to wonder why anyone would dislike this video. Even skeptics would have to acknowledge his arguments and rebuttals to Ehrman are well-thought out and supported. Do people just go around disliking videos without even watching or commenting?
It happens, pray for them
Pr. Mike is so polite and respectful, even towards a skeptic such as Dr Ehrman, (who it seems is none too careful with his facts.)
This gave me an unexpected nap time, so coming back to actually here it 😂
