In other words, the trace of Christians that is there is a trace to Jewish heretics from a Greek speaking Christian point of view. 2.

This goes deeper than I ever even thought of and I thought my thoughts were deep. This was SO well worth 3.5 hours. I've never heard anyone explain every single aspect of every single detail and give such a great history and cultural background so we know what's REALLY going on. Stuff like this will absolutely stump almost any atheist in their tracks. They have every single aspect of the resurrection laid on in logical evidence, historical evidence, biblical evidence, non-biblical written evidence, and definitely the evidence that EXPLAINS all there is to know so you can PROPERLY evaluate what we're reading and we need to understand that we don't know Greek or Hebrew and we don't know the original words and what they really mean. We just know how they were translated to English and doesn't give the background (it's not a history book) of the culture or the definition of the original word so we weren't limited to English! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Nope. Not stumped at all. Hearsay and using the bible to prove the bible is not conclusive evidence. There was most likely a person named Jesus who was very influential (and was possibly an amateur magician) but there is no evidence that any supernatural claims are true, just as there is no evidence of any supernatural claims made in the bible whatsoever. Confirmation bias, delusion, ignorance, wishful thinking, indoctrination and gullibility are powerful things. The universe and life most likely originated naturally and wasn't magically poofed into existence by some omnipotent entity from another dimension. Pretty much every isolated civilisation on earth has made up its own myths and legends regarding origins, it is human nature to make things up when we don't have all the facts and christianity is no different.

Brother, I doubt this would stop any atheist in their tracks! They don't really care about the evidence! Any amount of evidence that is remotely convincing are "religious lies". They come into the video assuming that the Bible is one big lie, full of "fairytales". They're still using the Humean argument against miracles😂. If you showed them a miracle right now, they would think that you were performing a magic trick or they were hallucinating. Look, no matter however much evidence you give, the philosophical arguments, the scientific evidence, the archaeological evidence, the historical evidence - there's always a naturalistic answer! It really is hard to convince someone so blind. Only God can open their hearts.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

Almost any atheist? Well, it didn't stump me and I expect you won't find much other confirmation for your rather daft assumption elsewhere, either. But you are right about one thing: It's NOT a history book. That tells you all you should need to know. Also, the Old Testament is nothing but a book of mythological stories with a few historical characters and even events strewn in, many and the biggest ones of which either neve rhappened, were misrrepresneed or taken from other cultures and woven into a constructed narrative that later has taken hold of humanity like a fungus. So, if the first book of fairy-tales is basically a lie, what does matter the second one matter?

I did street apologetics yesterday. One university student hold to the apparent death theory - which has so many fallacies that not even secular NT schoolars hold to them.

This is cherry picking of bible verses and out of context. Dont take my word for it, research it for yourself. For example the caananites, where doing all those thing you mention for 400 years, sacrificing babies - burning them on a bronze made god, called Molek. God used the israelites. "utterly destroy them all" ... yet some verse down, it says "dont marry them" so it was clearly hyperbolic language. But what I really should be asking is; Why is all those things evil according to you? If there is no God, there is no good, nor evil. We are just a cosmic accident, not acting, but reacting to our chemicals.

Argument demonstrating that the resurrection appearances of Jesus didn't necessarily have anything to do with reality. 1. Paul says Jesus "appeared" to him - 1 Cor 15:8. 2. The appearance to Paul was a personal "vision" or "revelation" from heaven - Gal. 1:16, Acts 26:19. 3. Paul uses his vision/revelation from heaven as a "resurrection appearance" - 1 Cor 15:5-8. 4. Therefore, visions/revelations from heaven counted as "resurrection appearances." If Paul can use a personal/subjective "revelation" (Gal. 1:16) as a "resurrection appearance" in 1 Cor 15:8 then it necessarily follows that early Christians accepted personal/subjective claims of "revelations" from heaven (experiences that don't necessarily have anything to do with reality) as evidence of the Resurrected Christ "appearing" to them. In other words, not actually seeing Jesus counted as "seeing" Jesus. Even though Jesus wasn't physically present, one could still claim that Jesus had "appeared" to them. Think about that for a moment. We can then proceed with the following argument: 1. Early Christians accepted personal/subjective claims of "visions/revelations" as "resurrection appearances." 2. Personal/subjective claims of visions/revelations don't necessarily have anything to do with reality. 3. Therefore, early Christians accepted personal/subjective claims that didn't necessarily have anything to with reality as "resurrection appearances." Obviously, you can see the problem now which calls into question the whole basis of the Christian faith. If the earliest evidence can equally referring to experiences that didn't have anything to do with reality the Christianity is necessarily false. www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/comments/cchjqz/a_logical_argument_which_demonstrates_the/ Apologists like to appeal to the later gospel stories to prove the appearances were physical but these accounts are not firsthand sources and their historicity and authorship are disputed. Paul is the earliest and only undisputed firsthand source by someone who claimed to have "seen" Jesus when the appearance to him was a vision, not a physical encounter with a revived corpse. He makes no distinction between the "appearances" in the earliest eyewitness list which means apologists have no reason to think they were different than what Paul experienced. All the gospel resurrection narratives grow in the telling which is a sign of legendary embellishment. www.reddit.com/r/DebateAChristian/comments/6hj39c/the_resurrection_is_a_legend_that_grew_over_time/

[@chapter404th]

This is false. Yes Jesus appeared to Paul and He was blinded. Did God not also appear to others in the Old Testament through visions before? Paul was also the ONLY one Jesus appeared to in a vision so that he could do the will of God. The gospel to the gentiles was actually preached first by Peter if you read the whole book of Acts, before Paul. Therefore Paul's preaching of the gospel aligned with Peter's, who was actually physically there with Jesus before His resurrection and afterward, who also gave the account of the life and teachings of Jesus. Why don't instead of trying to waste energy "disproving" the Gospels, you actually try to seek the Truth? If you seek truth you will get it. I was like you at one point, but now I came to know the truth. I have no reason to debate with you, but the facts and evidence are there by guy. Be blessed.

[@heynow3497]

@@chapter404th Did Luke copy Ezekiel's vision when composing Paul's Damascus Road vision? Acts 26:13 About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. 17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyesand turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ Compare this to Ezekiel's vision. Ez. 1:4 "I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north-an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal" Ez. 1:28 "Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking." Ez. 2:1 "He said to me: O mortal, stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you." Ez. 2:3-4 'He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day. 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ So here we have the shared common themes of a "bright light," "falling down and hearing a voice," then being told to "stand on your feet" in the same verbatim Greek στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου - Acts 26:16, Ez. 2:1 and being ordered to conduct missionary work. The paradigm here is an Old Testament "call vision" where a prophet figure is called upon by God and chosen to become a missionary and ordered to carry out a specific mission. We see similar stories in Job 4:12-16, Isa 6, Dan. 10:4-21, Ezek. 1:1-3:15, Amos 7.1-9:10, 1 Enoch 14, 4 Ezra 3:1-9, 25. So if Luke wanted to compose a fictional account about Paul and since he had access to the Septuagint, this establishes the plausibility for borrowing. Now, the identifiable theme in the Old Testament for a "call vision" is: 1. Address or call. 2. Answer with question. 3. Introduction with charge. The sequence shared between the Ezekiel vision and Paul's Damascus Road vision is as follows: 1. It's a "call vision" 2. It involves a bright light 3. The person falls down 4. He hears a voice 5. And is told to "stand up on his feet" in the same verbatim Greek. 6. Is charged with a specific mission Due to the amount of similarity it's equally likely that Luke was just copying Ezekiel's vision as it is that he was recording what actually happened to Paul. Therefore, the story by itself can't serve as evidence for its historicity.

[@chapter404th]

@@heynow3497 that doesn't disprove, if anything, it PROVES the theme of how God reveals Himself and approaches people to do His will, with Paul it was different because he was a persecutor of the early Church and in the end ended up killed for his faith. It's also very subjective and can't be proven as a fact or even logical at that. Like I said before and I'll say it again, you want to disprove the Word because you don't won't want it to be true. Thing is it's very much true, there is a Creator, because there's creation and there's a lot of archaeological evidence of places in the Bible that just show its validity.

Pilot was known to have thrown Jews into the fire right in their own temple while going through their animal sacrifices and ceremonies. That one heel bone with a nail in it that you have mentioned was most likely from the body of a person who was stolen from a cross and then the Jewish family of the person had given him a secret proper burial, and not that Romans had allowed a proper burial, 2) The Jews at that time were called the “generation of vipers by Jesus himself: “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” -Jesus (Matthew 12-34 KJV) Also, we read what the Jewish priests were doing while Jesus was being agonized on the cross: “Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.” (Mark 15:31-32 KJV) So, it is clear that for the most part the Jewish people of the time had lost the true spirit that Moses had instilled into them in their early history, and they had become very corrupt and very brutal and that’s why they were working with the Romans to get Jesus killed. Therefore, Jesus had enemies from within the Jewish community as well as without which were the Romans. So, to think that both Romans and Jewish leaders would allow proper burial to Jesus just because he was a Jew is far fetched and improbable. And even if they allowed his body to be taken down, there were numerous Jewish leaders and those who worked with them to make sure Jesus’s grave (tomb) gets desecrated because they did not want further trouble makers around the Jewish communities to form a Christian community and begin a movement around Jesus’ messianic ideas. They wanted to completely uproot this movement which they called a cult into a forgotten history as if it had never existed. Remember what Jesus had said: “O generation of vipers”…. I let you figure out the rest.

43:30 "you can't explain [belief in the resurrection] just by reference to what Jews already believed because everything in the Jewish beliefs before that suggested that that couldn't happen" And yet a quick look in Mark shows that Jews did in fact believe such things prior to Jesus' crucifixion: Mark 6:14-16: King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” Others said, “He is Elijah." And still others claimed, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.” But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

Third, there’s no indication that James was a martyr. All we know is “James was put to the sword”.There’s no indication that he had a chance to recant, or that recanting would have saved his life. That’s all conjecture. Fourth, to say all these disciples were willing to be martyred is absurd. We have no 2:23:10 of that anywhere. Perhaps Peter and Paul. Next, there’s NO mention of a tomb in Paul’s writings. Not until the gospels decades later is the tomb mentioned. There’s no mention of a resurrection in the earliest gospel of Mark.

John: A tomb-visiting woman runs into the risen Jesus while weeping beside his tomb. Luke: No woman runs into the risen Jesus. Between Matthew, Luke, and John, the tomb angels never say the same thing twice. * Inconsistencies in the appearances to the male disciples Matthew records one appearance to the disciples on a mountain in Galilee while John records three such appearances, none of which matches Matthew's. The ascension is mentioned only by Luke. Pentecost is predicted in Luke, happens prematurely in John 20:22, and isn't mentioned at all in Matthew.

Or to believe that would you require that Josephus state the HE had seen the miracles himself? But for him to have witnessed a miracle he would have had to leave his home, family, income, etc and become a follower of Jesus, traipsing around the countryside until Jesus did a miracle. There was no TV coverage so nobody was watching Jesus from afar. So the best anyone could reasonably expect from a non-biblical source to ANYTHING Jesus did would be 2nd hand testimony from other people who were close enough to Jesus to see him face to face before his death (i.e. followers). Detached objective non-biblical sources would not even know what Jesus looked like, let alone personally witnessed him do something.

@@Jimmy-iy9pl Well yes, I thought you were misunderstanding things, but I guess I just didn't understand your wording. Also though I think you might be mistaken about something else: as I said in my first reply, there's no need for "unknown naturalistic" phenomena to explain the undisputed data, only some combination of known naturalistic phenomena. If what you mean is that we would need to posit some combination of known phenomena which is not a currently known combination, then yes that's kind of how history works. Historical events are in their combination at least unique in various respects compared to all other events. And given that we always have incomplete data about the past, especially before modern education/mass literacy/printing/etc., we won't ever "already know" the exact combination of known phenomena some unique event was actually comprised of. Instead we must reason about the most probable combination based on the evidence available. Now of course it's always possible that it wasn't a combination of known phenomena and some unique phenomena rather than merely combination was required for the event to occur, but this has a lower prior probability for obvious reasons (and is generally if not exclusively the domain of sciences, & preferably hard sciences, to discover). And it's also always possible that said unique phenomena is miraculous rather than natural, but this possibility is again less probable. And this is the case regardless of whether God exists, since God is at any rate not in the habit of commonly breaking (or circumventing or whatever) natural processes. The question is whether any theory utilizing only known phenomena explains the data sufficiently poorly to require unknown phenomena. The answer to this question is disputed, but I definitely lean towards the set of potential natural explanations having a higher final probability than a resurrection, regardless of whether God exists. At the very least, I don't think naturalistic explanations under predict the evidence so massively that the data become significant evidence for God since that would be necessary for the resurrection hypothesis can be invoked.

I agree. Every other truth I can conceive of came from some observation from some person(s). Not only could they demonstrate the newfound phenomenon to others, those that were curious to understand the phenomenon would look to study it and follow where the evidence lead them. Theism seems to me to contradict this. I have never observed a god, nor have known anyone to have observed a god, nor have been able to find any person's observation of a god that could be verified for validity, accuracy, and authenticity.

Here's the problem: There are *loads* of rebuttals to this so-called evidence, readily found on the internet - and its not a secret. In fact, it's not credible to think the participants aren't aware of the counter arguments, yet they don't even seem interested in addressing them, never so much as acknowledging they even exist. Given this, one can only wonder who the target audience is intended to be here. It certainly can't be experienced unbelievers or skeptics who will likely have seen this sort of thing many times before and be versed in the counter arguments. That leaves the intended audience to be those who already believe, or "preaching to the choir" as the saying goes. That's fine of course, if that's what one wants; cheers and agreeable nods from the proverbial pews. If that's the goal, this site will likely "succeed" with video's like this one. On the other hand, if the goal is to reach beyond those who already agree, we can hopefully look forward to at least some attempts to address the popular objections.

As I noted, the participants in this podcast didn't even attempt that fair examination which in my view calls into question who they are trying to convince. You ask, "So what?" So, who is the intended audience? Are they just trying to convince those who already believe or are they trying to convince those who don't? If the former, that endeavor seems rather pointless as by definition they already believe. If the later, at least attempting to address counter arguments would seem to be more useful.

To the grief hallucination hypothesis I can add a personal anecdote. I dated a guy from the age of 15-21. When we broke up I grieved for a while. It felt as if I were grieving someone’s death and, at one point, I had an auditory hallucination that he said my name. I was alone so it completely startled me. I thought he must have been in my apartment. I was very young so the age theory didn’t apply. I’ve always chalked it up to the grief and that it didn’t actually happen but given that we’re not mere material and we are souls I’ve sometimes wondered if he didn’t actually say my name where he was. He was also grieving. Maybe some hallucinations are supernatural manifestations of something real. Maybe it was just a girl hoping a guy was actually saying her name. I broke up with him though so that doesn’t seem likely. Who knows.

[@danielfarrell7187]

That's a fair example, however it doesn't explain multiple people having the same visual, physical and auditory account of Jesus at the same time.

[@istandfast]

With regard to the resurrection, I think it is of value to contrast it to the idea of being born again, as Jesus' conversation with Nicodemas had in John 3. We all have a spirit/soul given to us by God and the resurrection is the judgement upon which we either return that spirit or it is rejected. I believe the bodily aspect of the discussion is for our benefit of understanding. When Thomas who doubted the resurrection was given the opportunity to physically inspect Jesus' side, I believe it was purely for Thomas' benefit and not a characteristic of Jesus' actual body. The tomb being empty, stone rolled back, wrappings neatly positioned, was all necessary as physical proof. I don't think we need to put more into it than that really. We also need to consider that heaven does not consist of flesh and bone and Jewish beliefs of death and burial practices, or the beliefs around the resurrection are largely about traditions and from God teaching the Jews about sin, cleanliness, and uncleanliness (using physical concepts that they could understand). God is Spirit and when Jesus ascended (Acts 1), I do not believe that it required any certain atmospheric conditions to exist for him to ascend, such would have required him to grow wings for example. Even after the resurrection when Jesus was walking among the disciples who didn't recognize him, he was there, then he was gone. This leads me to believe that much of the resurrection during this time was to make a point and the physical manifestations were to the benefit of those who did not believe. Nevertheless, some good academic points in this loooong video and I appreciate the discussion. (Subscribed)
