1. Did you watch all of the resurrection debate video? Yes 2. Name 2 facts that Craig uses to prove Jesus' resurrection. 1-Craig used modern authorities and ancient sources to explain his facts. Craig explained there was five independent sources of the burial and eyewitness of the empty tomb by women. Craig stated Joseph of Arimathea was an independent source for his involvement in the burial. Independent testimony to Jesus’ burial by Joseph is also found in sources of Matthew and John. On the Sunday after the crucifixion, Jesus’ tomb was found empty by a group of his women followers. Any legendary account would have made male disciples discover the empty tomb rather than women. 2- Craig stated that God raised Jesus from the dead. Craig used different individuals and groups of people that experienced appearances of Jesus from the dead. Craig explained the use of Paul in Corinthian 15:3-5 that used quotes for an ancient Christian tradition which goes back to five years after the crucifixion. The events that were outlined consisted of the death of Jesus, the burial by Joseph of Arimathea, the empty tomb, and the appearance narratives. Paul also distinguished between the resurrection appearance of Jesus and the visions of Jesus. Jesus also appeared to his inner circle of disciples, which was attested by Luke, John, and Paul. …show more content…
Name 2 facts that Ehrman uses to disprove Jesus' resurrection. 1-Ehrman claimed historians are not able to claim a miracle happened due to being highly improbable. Historians can say Jesus died on the cross, but cannot say that God accepted his death as an atonement. He claimed, the evidence its self is not miraculous. The more plausible explanation Ehrman can explain for Jesus’ body to be missing is the possibility that two of his family members stole the body and were caught. After being caught they were killed and all of them were thrown into a common
In his book, Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope, Jonathan Kozol pulls back the veil and provides readers with a glimpse of the harsh conditions and unrelenting hope that exists in a community located in the South Bronx called Mott Haven. Mr. Kozol provides his own socially conscious and very informative view of the issues facing the children and educators in this poverty ravaged neighborhood. Just his commentary would paint a very bleak picture of the future. It is the words of the children that give this book optimism and meaning. The courage and care exhibited by the volunteers of St. Ann's after school program and the creativity of the teachers at P.S. 30 are utterly inspiring. They work long hours and go beyond the call of duty to protect the innocence and cultivate the hope that resides in the hearts of Mott Haven's youngest residents.
The article Reasonable Doubt by Alice Camille presents reasons for defending the actions of Thomas, the apostle of Jesus Christ, and relates the factors that not only made Thomas doubt his faith, but the testimonies of the resurrection witnessed by Thomas himself. The article also discusses evidence demanded by Thomas to prove that Jesus had risen from the dead.
Former VSU President William McKinney adjusted the academic calendar by reinstating Fall Break and eliminating Dead Day. He knew that the constant debate of whether or not to have the two items had been prolonged enough. Dr. McKinney said he believed that his decision “serves the best interest of most Valdosta State students, faculty, and staff” (Edwards, “Dead Day Gone”). While the elimination of Dead Day should have benefited everyone the students didn’t benefit as much as the teachers, so Dead Day should be reinstated to allow students an extra day before finals to study and relax.
Thus providing evidence for the two-source hypothesis in the synoptic problem: Matthew was the original source Luke and Mark used when writing their gospels. Nonetheless, Strauss noted that the resurrection was of central importance to Christianity because Christians believe the event physically occurred. A historic event is reputable when there are numerous independent resources validating one another (Pannenberg, 2002, P.88). In this case Luke, Mark and Matthew all have an account of the resurrection of Jesus; thus, making it a historical event, which is seen as necessary for the existence of the Christian faith. Because the account of resurrection was written in the 1st Century, the Christian faith is reliant upon the authority of others (Luke 24.8), rather than their own individual experience.
while, there are many apertures central conviction itself and these assertion could be expressed against any unquestionable devout number. Christians accept as factual that Jesus’ body was revived from the dead; numerous contentions can be complicated from that theme solely. It all arrives to down to one’s own conviction.

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
In today's society, organ donation is a common medical procedure that can be used to save or enhance the quality of a person's life. Organ donation is widely accepted medically because of all the benefits it can produce.

Throughout their lives, many Christians, as well as nonbelievers, have heard the story of the three wise men who journeyed from a far distance to see the birth of Jesus Christ. Author T.S. Eliot, however, tells the story from a different perspective, one of the magus, in his work, “Journey of the Magi.” In this, Eliot describes the long and arduous adventure these three men embarked upon while simultaneously adding in additional allusions to the life of Christ. All of these images combine to compare and contrast the realities of both life and death in the context of Jesus’s birth and Christianity. By doing so, Eliot has created a new and fascinating experience for his readers by bridging the gap between the worlds of life and death.
Death is the one great certainty in life. Some of us will die in ways out of our control, and most of us will be unaware of the moment of death itself. Still, death and dying well can be approached in a healthy way. Understanding that people differ in how they think about death and dying, and respecting those differences, can promote a peaceful death and a healthy manner of dying.
What if organ donation was no longer existent? Hypothetically you 're being called urgently into the hospital for more tests to be done on your four-year old daughter.

Why do always assume what someone is from when we first hear about them? A lot of us end up assuming what someone looks like as well as what they might be like.

Death is not all that his name says, but were blind to see past that.
Death and dying is one topic that is very familiar to me. I have experienced the death of my Grandfathers, Great Grandmother, uncles, aunts, close friends and many patients that I have cared for. In some aspects death is a God sent to some people because they are no longer suffering and you know now that they are in peace. In others ways death can be very traumatic because perhaps someone’s life ended too soon. No matter how much you experience death and dying, no death will affect you in the same way. One thing about death that everyone has in common is that it is inevitable, everyone will die someday.
When I think about death and dying, I have had some experience in this because of my career I am a certified Nursing Assistant and I have been for about three years. I currently work at Camilia Rose Care Center. I have been there almost a year (Camilia Rose for those who don’t know is a nursing home). For example just a few weeks ago I took a resident to the restroom to do his duty and he ended up passing away on the toilet. I was the one who had to let the nurse know what happened then I had to figure out how to get him off and back to the bed then I had to clean him up so that his family can say their finial good bye before the funeral home does what they do.
