Resurrection From The Dead

You say, there is no way Christ resurrected from the dead, but I wanted to type this letter to show you differently. Christ’s resurrection was one of the most extraordinary moments in all of history. He was able to perform a miracle no one could or can ever do. That moment in history saved a sinners life, like mine and yours. I am here to argue and prove that Christ did rise from the dead on the third day. If Christ "be not risen, our faith is vain 1 Cor. 15:14 (Bible Dictionary).

To start this letter off, I am going to explain six theories, which may have been the reason for your disbelief. The first theory is called the swoon theory, this states that Christ did not die on the cross, but he simply fell asleep and woke up in the tomb three days later. Now I am going to tell you why all these are incorrect, first of all, to ensure that Jesus was dead a soldier thrusted a spear into Jesus’s side, it would have severely punctured enough organs to cause mortal damage to his body (Vang and Carter, 243). The claim that Jesus was not dead, but merely in a state of shock or in a coma, seems extremely unlikely (Vang and Carter, 243). Jesus’ burial is attested in the very old tradition quoted by Paul in I Cor. 15.3-5: For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received; that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve (Reasonable Faith).

This next one states wrong tomb or no tomb, it argues that Jesus may not have been...

I did the best I could to explain to you the greatness of this piece of history, but a small letter will never be enough to describe the miracle Jesus preformed and performs every single day for you. Again I hope you felt the love, pour out in this letter, but like I said this whole paper is facts from scholarly sources. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us (1 John, 4, Bible Dictionary).
