The Argument from the Historical Evidence for the Resurection | EvidenceforChristianity.org
Posted: Tue Jun 04, 2024 1:09 pm
Premise 1) The resurrection would be evidence for God.
Premise 2) The resurrection occurred.
Therefore, the resurrection is evidence for God.
Premise 1 is true because Jesus of Nazareth claimed to have been sent from God.
Premise 2 can be reasonably demonstrated through research into the historical evidence pertaining to the resurrection.
There are three facts of history relating to the historical evidence for the resurrection that even most liberal scholars grant …
1) The empty tomb.
2) The disciples claimed to have seen the risen Christ.
3) The disciples were willing to be killed or tortured for what they would have known was a lie.
While it is true that people have been known to die for their beliefs, never in all of history (without exception) has there been an entire movement where people were willing to die for what they knew to be a lie.
