The REAL Reason Why I'm No Longer a Christian Apologist!
My name is Derek Lambert & Once, I was a passionate born-again Christian, devoted to converting the world to my faith. I believed humanity was lost in a fallen world, destined for hell, and that Christianity held the only truthโthe only salvation. Armed with Christian apologetics, I sought to prove, beyond a shadow of doubt, that my religion was the one true faith, grounded in undeniable historical evidence. But my journey took a turn I never anticipated.
In this documentary series, Iโll take you through the unexpected path that led me from being a die-hard Christian apologist to questioning everything I once held sacred. Youโve heard the famous claimsโthat the evidence overwhelmingly proves Jesus rose from the dead as a historical event. But what happens when you start to examine the evidence from all sides, not just through the lens of faith? My goal isn't to destroy anyoneโs belief but to challenge the way we think about religion and its origins. What if the stories and traditions we once viewed as unique are deeply intertwined with those of other faiths?
This first installment dives headfirst into my journey and tackles a key debate: Did Dionysus turn water into wine long before the New Testament was written? Michael Jones of @InspiringPhilosophy confidently claims that this connection doesnโt exist before the 3rd century AD, dismissing critics with a resounding "Shut up!" But does the evidence really support him? I take a deep dive into the sourcesโbeyond the Bible, beyond Christian apologeticsโto uncover the truth behind these claims.
When I was a Christian apologist, I only interpreted the Bible through the voices of those who shared my beliefs. But what if the Bibleโs inspiration goes beyond its pagesโintertwined with myths, traditions, and religions that came long before it? This series aims to expand your understanding, showing how the shared threads of human spirituality connect us more deeply than we realize.
Join me as I unravel the beliefs I once fought to defend and explore the light that lies at the end of this tunnel of discovery.
