The fact of the historical Resurrection, my friends, is essential and foundational to Christianity.

It is indeed.

He is risen!

>> Haven’t the followers of other religious leaders ...

Given Islam is a war plan, the aggressive suicide bombers don’t qualify.

"Historical Fact of the Resurrection"

As a former boss put it to me:

"Either the dude did rise from the dead or he didn't."

According to one's belief in that "fact", one can choose their faith.

A lawyer’s perspective on facts and evidence.

When I was in law school, when I learned about eye-witnesses and the uncomfortable facts that can “screw-up” otherwise completely logical theories, it increased my Christian faith a lot. The fact of the Resurrection and Jesus’ followers’ response to it would never have been made up by people trying to create a credible, logical movement. They would have smoothed out the wrinkles and conveniently forgotten some embarrassing things. There would have been no mysteries left unexplained.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl. There’s a hard grain of reality at its center.

Abraham believed God and THEN it was credited to him as righteousness.

The idea that faith is believing in something that is not true or cannot be verified is wrong.

1 Corinthians 2 states that our faith rests in the power of God, not words of wisdom.

God acts, and we believe and it’s still faith.
