I Corinthians 15:6
|
|
|
|
How can the resurrection of Christ be defended both positively and "negatively" (lack of any evidence for an alternative)?
|
POSITIVE: Many witnesses still living
NEGATIVE:There are 3 interest groups who could have stolen Jesus' body -- but it would make no sense for them to do so. (Romans, Jews, disciples) |
|
|
|
Why would the Romans not have wanted to take Jesus' body secretly from the tomb?
|
They wanted to keep peace in Palestine; leaving the body there would have been the best means to do that.
|
|
|
|
Why would the Jews not have wanted to take Jesus' body secretly from the tomb?
|
The last thing the Jews wanted was a proclamation of the resurrection. They are the ones who asked for a guard!
|
|
|
|
Why would the disciples not have taken Jesus' body from the tomb?
|
Most of the disciples were later killed--would they be willing to die for something they knew was a lie?
|
|
|
|
For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye witnesses of His majesty.
|
II Peter 1:16
|
|
|
|
What can you say to someone that says Jesus never existed.
|
The NT contains 27 separate documents; the facts were recorded by eye witnesses. ALSO, there are Jewish and Roman secular historians who refer to Him.
|
|
|
|
Summarize what Josephus (born A.D. 37) wrote about Christ.
|
"Now there was about this time, Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works...He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles...He was (the)Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned Him to the cross, those who loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named after him, are not extinct at this day (Antiquities, XVIII,III)
|
|
|
|
Identify 4 well-known ancient secular historians who spoke of Jesus' existence.
|
JOSEPHUS (Jewish) TACITUS, SEUTONIUS and PLINY THE YOUNGER (Roman)
|
|
|
|
Why is it absurd to hold to the view that Jesus never existed?
|
We know more about the life of Jesus than just about any other figure in the ancient world. His birth, his life and death are revealed in much more detail than most ancient figures whose existence is taken for granted. [Merezhovsky: "It would never enter anyone's head to ask whether Jesus lived, unless before asking the question the mind had not been darkened by the wish that he had not lived."
|
|
|
|
How could one respond when someone brings up "contradictions" as to the time of the crucifixion of Jesus? [Mark said "it was the 3rd hour" and John said "about the 6th hour"]
|
Finer distinctions of time were not recognized without consulting the sun dials, which were not everywhere. The days, like the night watches, were divided into periods. Mark could have referred to the earlier period (9 a.m.) and John the later (noon). Another explanation is that one could have been using Roman time and the other Jewish -- they were different.
|
|
|
|
How could Jesus have remained in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights if He was crucified on Friday and rose on Sunday?
|
"After 3 days" and "on the third day" are simply idiomatic, interchangeable terms commonly used by the Jews--more references state that Jesus rose ON the 3rd day. The Jews indicated a day, even when only a part of the day was involved.
