They were first hand witnesses and they had to "believe"? Didn't they know? Hadn't they witnessed enough miraculous events yet?!
Sounds like someone manufactured the story well after the alleged fact.
But you can go on believing that they believed it... Just shows how much thought you poured into your favorite myth.
As you know, I have argued the very point you are making in other threads. I do so because I HAVE thought about it.
Here, I am using Habermas' terminology.
But I agree with you; the apostles did not believe; they were in a position to know.
