The fact that Jesus performs astounding acts of healing(spiritual and physical)every hour of the day prove it to me.

1. Jesus' death was a hoax.

Except that lots of non-Christian historical documents attest to his death.

2. The disciples stole Jesus' body.

If so, then they would have known that all Jesus' claims about himself weren't true, so why would they have followed Him and his teachings to their deaths?

3. The resurrection accounts are legendary.

How did the legend arise? Who started it? The disciples? If it was just a legend, people could go to the tomb to see if it were true. And why would the disciples be willing to die for an unprovable legend?

4. The disciples saw hallucinations of Jesus.

LOL! There are accounts of many many people seeing the risen Jesus at once. You do not have a whole bunch of people having the same hallucination all at once.

5. The disciples talked themselves into the resurrection.

Again, they would have to be really sure of what happened to be ready to die for their faith later.

6. Jesus was raised from the dead. Which is the best explanation that can explain the facticity of the early church? ...

Only satisfactory explanation.

Praise God that He love us so much He sent His beloved Son, Jesus Christ to teach the people how to have a blessed relationship with Him. Thank You, Living Christ, for your sacrifice for our multitude of sins. You have made Yourself so relatively prominent in my life with myriad of miracles you have performed for me. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. I love You, Lord. Please come soon!
