Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

[KevinM1]

Randy, something has been bugging me about this thread from the very beginning.  It's not just that your minimal facts do not prove Jesus rose from the dead even IF they were all true.  They wouldn't.  But you are claiming they prove the resurrection.  Resurrection is a much, much larger claim.  Many atheists or members of other religions may not know that, but I do, and I suspect you do too.  Resurrection is being raised from the dead to everlasting life.  What in any of your "facts" even suggests that Jesus will be alive forever more?  And if he is still alive, why don't he write?  Make an appearance?  Say hi?

Would you believe me if I said He does?



Not until he says, "Hi!" to you personally. Then, everyone in this forum will turn on you because you will have NO evidence.

But you will have KNOW evidence, and it will change your life.

Try again, slick.  Evidence is derived from the word 'evident'.  Evidence is only evidence if it is evident to others.  God tapping Jenny on the shoulder and saying "Hi" isn't evidence unless it's observed by someone else.  And, even then, that's only evidence of someone/thing interacting with her, not of your god.  That requires much more evidence, evidence which must eliminate other possibilities from being the most likely explanation.
