He takes the two questions; did Jesus die on the cross? And did he appear to people three days later? Through the accounts of the Bible, we can answer yes to both of those questions—which Habermas says, makes your case (Strobel 64). Paul was an apostle of Jesus, and in his letter to Corinth, he says that he personally saw the resurrected Jesus two separate times. 1 Corinthians 9:1, “Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?” (New King James Version). And in 1 Corinthians…
