Hey, Lee Strobel - we've never heard of him before! We're in trouble now, guys!
Re: JC's resurrection: sorry to burst any bubbles, but histroy tells us no such thing. The only - repeat, only - source of information that talks of a formerly-martyred man returning to life is the same story that talks of that character being martyred in the first place. There are no contemporary sources outside of that story that mentions those things. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Sorry.
You might just as well talk about the resurrection of Snow White and then go on to cite the direct eyewitness testimony of Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Doc, Bashful and Dopey, as well as the handsome prince and the wicked stepmother as proof that it was a real historical event. The lie is safe because it guards itself, whether we're talking Snow White, Humpty Dumpty or religious wizards.
Just about everything else you wrote is ecclesiastical spam and thus dismissed as such. I suggest you read our rules regarding preaching before you bring down a world of trouble on yourself. Other than that, welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
