Contemporary Scholarship and the Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

This Post is in response to a challenge by cerunnos to prove the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This challenge was given in the Thread Jesus Christ: The Sum and Substance of Biblical Prophecy. What surprised me was the Article he used was so easy to overcome. The Author, whose seed was obviously sowed on the rocky ground, main source to disprove the Resurrection was Thomas Paine.

Case Closed!

Could you use that Christian bump list?

Overnight bump.

Very impressive, even though I was already aware of most of these facts. Having them in one relatively short argument is great.

GREAT AND WORTHY JOB WELL DONE.

And may the Blood of Jesus shield you from all the tinfoil hat comments that tend to come when folk start breaking out in hives over anything religious or beyond their experience.

Is there any way I could get this in Chinese--in both traditional and simplified characters?

In order to validate this convoluted sophistry, one must believe that Jesus of Nazareth was actually dead when he was place in the tomb. There ought to be an equally tortuous body of thought regrading that, though I, not being scolarly in this regard, have never read one. How is it that the legend of the Roman Soldier and the removal from the cross is not discussed to this extent; that Jesus' body was given up to the woman, by the guard, prior to his actual death?

Sorry about the misspellings: regrad= regard scolarly=scholarly

As Ronald Reagan once observed-"either Jesus Christ is exactly who he said he was-or he was the greatest liar in all of human history. I choose to accept the former."

Liberal theology could not survive World War I, but its demise brought no renewed interest in the historicity of Jesus' resurrection, for the two schools that succeeded it were united in their devaluation of the historical with regard to Jesus.

Let us pray that what remains finds its demise with the Trade Towers..

Just look at human nature and think about the apostles. Would you die for a lie? They were eye witnesses to the event and died horrible deaths. St. Peter was crucified upside down, St Steven stoned to death and St.Paul was beheaded. They did not seek death, they wanted to preach and share the Gospel of Life. The historical evidence of Christ is in the writings of his disciples. WE today are so mired in the pollution of the gospel of death and destruction. Most individuals reject the Gospel teachings for one simple reason. They know deep down it requires them to change their way of life. It is a challange, but the brave and humble know the joy and peace of knowing Christ. And no one can take it away!!

Amen

The gospel demands a change and men love their sin above everything else ,even their own lives..

Do you want to be on the Christian bump list ..I could sure use another mom *grin*

Well.... if Ronald Reagan said that, he was quoting C.S. Lewis. That quote originated with him. I think it can be found in Mere Christianity.
