(Podcast 3.31.21) Defense of the Resurrection

Resurrection Of Jesus Before Ascension

By: Brian G. Chilton and Curtis Evelo | March 31, 2021

BellatorChristi.com has featured a series of articles entitled the “Resurrection Defense Series.” In this episode of the Bellator Christi Podcast, Curtis quizzes Brian on some questions that he holds pertaining to the resurrection in general. Brian and Curtis have a lively discussion in this pre-Easter podcast as they proclaim that the best answer to the historical evidence is that Jesus of Nazareth literally rose bodily from the dead on the first Easter Sunday. #Easter #Resurrection

1) How does the resurrection prove God’s existence?

2) What does the proof of the resurrection say about heaven?

3) How does the resurrection prove God’s knowledge, power, and sovereignty?

4) Does Christianity depend on the resurrection being true?

5) If the resurrection was Jesus’s greatest confirmation of his identity and authority, then why did his adversaries reject the confirmation and falsely claim that his body was stolen?

6) What affirms that the early believers actually saw Jesus after the crucifixion?

7) What evidential power do the creeds hold for the resurrection?

8) Can the minimal facts (presented by Habermas) give proof that the resurrection happened?

9) Did the early church forget their Jewish roots, or did they believe the cross was the finished work of the Messiah?
