1. A Christian believer has a strong argument against those who claim that all religions are the same because the resurrection of Chris is what makes Christianity different from the rest religions. Therefore, the doctrine of resurecction equips the believer with solid arguments to defend his faith. ( 5697, Groothuis) Kindle 2. Undoubtedly, the best way to discredit Christianity is attacking the resurrection of Jesus. That’s why this theological concept should be for Christians the most well known subject. Although, Christians do not have scientific evidence to prove the resurrection there are others proofs that confirm that Jesus raised from the death. (5705, Groothies) Kindle 3. Undoubtedly, Jesus’ life teachings were extraordinary people were amazed of his knowledge and wisdom of the Scripture. However, his teaching do not only feed the human knowledge but they transform the lives of those who listen with a humble heart. This was one of the miracles that brought the resurrection of Christ the life changing of Jesus’s disciples. (5721, Groothuis) Kindle …show more content…

Paul has given an extraordinary of example of humbleness to those who preach and teach the Gospel. Although, the Apostle Paul was well known prepared on any theological subject, he went to Jerusalem to meet with other apostles to verify that his message was alienated with the Gospel. Therefore, pastors and church leaders should look intentionally for spiritual mentors that help them to grow in their knowledge of the Gospel. (121, Habermas) 5. Paul’s testimony on the resurrection of Christ is an asset to Christian apologetics. In addition, The early historical record that the apostle provided in his letters about the death and resurrection of Jesus the Nazareth make the strong argument that the miracle of resurrection was not a myth or legend. The early historical records are poor that the resurrection was not a myth or legend invented by his followers. (124,

    1017 Words  | 3 Pages

    The New King James Bible explains, "And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all ... For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man ... If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body" (Acts 4:33 and 1 Corinthians 15:21 and 44). Paul explains that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected. Since Jesus was physically buried, then Jesus ' resurrection would represent Him physically rising from the dead. Moreover, Paul explains that we will be resurrected like Jesus because God created humanity. Humanity cannot be physically resurrected because the human body is perishable. However, the spiritual body is imperishable and will live for eternity. Therefore, our physical bodies will be resurrected into an imperishable spirit. The significance of the passage is to demonstrate the historical event that Jesus ' disciples taught the physical resurrection of Jesus and also humanity will be

  • The Apologetics of Christianity

    2766 Words  | 6 Pages

    Jesus, a name known by billions throughout the world. To each, this name means something different; savior, friend, philosopher, prophet, teacher, fraud, fake, liar. Some even believe that He is just an imaginary character from the minds of those who wrote about Him. The Westminster Dictionary of Theology describes apologetics as, "Defense, by argument, of Christian belief against external criticism or against other worldly views" (Apologetics 31-32). Though there are still many mysteries that surround the ongoing debate about Christianity, evidence can now prove some of what Christians took by faith before. Now, more than ever, there is information to prove the existence of this man that walked the earth more than two thousand years ago. Little remains of His life and works except for that which is contained within the pages of the Holy Bible. Throughout the past century alone, there have been numerous discoveries, both scientific and archeological; to further prove the existence of a man called Jesus and reinforce the Bible as a legitimate historical document. The validity of Christianity and Jesus Christ himself has been the center of religious controversy for centuries. Though His identity has not and probably never will be proven, He did exist. This paper will use apologetics to prove this so. Sufficient evidence proves the existence of Jesus and forms a firm basis for Christianity.

  • The Doctrine of Christology

    885 Words  | 2 Pages

    Of all the debates that concern the Christian faith, the most important lies in the understanding of the very one whom the faith professes to follow: Jesus Christ. Who was Jesus Christ, and what did He do here on this earth? In noting the importance of these issues the apostle Paul goes so far as to make the startling claim that the Christian faith is useless if predicated on a false assumption of Christ’s saving work (1 Cor. 15:14). Indeed, there are no truths more central to our faith than the personhood and work of Jesus Christ, and yet serious disagreements exist regarding the nature of these tenets. Jesus lived here on earth as fully divine and yet fully human in one and the same person, and His death on the cross served as a perfect sacrifice and substitute for the necessary punishment of death that all sinners deserve.

  • Being Accompanied by Jesus Christ

    If one is to debate the historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus, then one most first examine that which the resurrection account is found in. The largest account of the resurrection can be found the first five books of the New Testament, which are the Gospels. The word gospel comes from the Greek word meaning, “good news” or a message that brings salvation (Gunn, 2013). Mark, which is the first gospel that was written, was influenced by Paul’s usage of the term and used it to describe Jesus’ ministry, works, death and resurrection. The other gospel books followed in suit. The question remains though, are these first century manuscripts historically reliable? The answer to this question is yes but to the extent of their validity depends on whom you ask.

  • Analysis Of He Is Risen

    1033 Words  | 3 Pages

    After watching the debate between Professor Licona and Professor Martin, I have come to the conclusion that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day and that this is proven by not only theological theories, but also by historical facts. As Licona says, this is extremely crucial to the Gospel in every way. If Jesus didn’t really rise from the grave, it makes Jesus a false prophet and disproves Christianity; making our faith worthless (1 Corinthians 15). This would be disastrous for the world considering 32 percent of the world population profess to following Christ. In order to prove Christ’s resurrection Licona separates his argument into two parts: Facts and Methods.
