Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

[pocaracas]

I couldn't agree more. I'm just curious how he is going to justify it.

Have you ever read about crucifixion? This web site describes it;
http://www.frugalsites.net/jesus/crucifixion.htm
It was a sacrifice for Jesus to have His hands and feet punctured in a way that cause excruciating pain for three hours, have to put pressure on His feet to pull Himself up for every breath, and endure the embarrassment of hanging there naked. How willing would anyone be to do that? Only great love, super human love could do that.
He did this all the while knowing He was innocent of the "crime" of blasphemy because He is God, not just claiming to be.

But you are digressing from the topic of miracles. So let's get back to that. How could Jesus, if He were merely human, rise from the dead? When a Roman soldier thrust a lance through His heart, there is no way He could not be thoroughly dead. There were 500 eyewitnesses that saw Him alive after He rose. (1 Corinthians 15) There has to be something super-human to explain this, because humans cannot do this on their own power.

And you buy that?
