Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
RE: Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
Here's a thought.

Is the magical parts of the NT supposed to be:

(A) A historical account by people

or

(B) Revelation from god to people

In case A, it is subject to normal human historical criteria. Extraordinary claim, pitiful evidence, fail.

In case B, we're relying on God telling the truth. How can we possibly know God would tell us the truth? We can't. Because God says so about himself? This is circular reasoning. We can't know it's true unless we investigate it ourselves, putting us back to (A).
Feel free to send me a private message.
