Nobody really accepts that today. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/R1teWa6uQzc

It just has to be strong enough.

The resurrection hypothesis is so superior to competing hypotheses that there is not even a close second place.

Christ was raised. Therefore, the Christian life is worth living.

I didn't understand how good and strong the resurrection hypothesis is compared to competing hypotheses.

Perhaps to emphasize his deity. #shorts #mikelicona

There is going to have to be some faith involved. #shorts #mikelicona

Paul wrote about it. It is mentioned in the Gospels, and you have non-Christian sources such as Josephus, Tacitus, Lucian, and Mara bar Serapion. #shorts #mikelicona

It happens to Christians and happens to non-Christians. #shorts #mikelicona

If we genuinely want a high view of Scripture, we must accept it as it is. #shorts #mikelicona

It is important to recognize the use of compositional resources in the Gospels. #shorts #mikelicona

We have no reason to believe that anyone who was crucified even survived the crucifixion. #shorts #mikelicona

If you're going to expect the Gospels to follow modern literary conventions of photographic accuracy, you're going to be disappointed. #shorts #mikelicona

You just don't dismiss an account because there are some differences. #shorts #mikelicona

The seat of Christianity was in Jerusalem. And maybe that's why Luke has drawn all his attention there. #shorts #mikelicona

Paul meant to communicate that Jesus' resurrection was an event that occurred in history. #shorts #mikelicona

It is a really poor hypothesis. #shorts #mikelicona

Good historians did not fabricate events out of nothing. #shorts #mikelicona

Just keep praying! #shorts #mikelicona

Remember: never put them down for it. #shorts #mikelicona

Neither I nor most classicists are referring to this. #shorts #mikelicona

There are too many life implications in this. #shorts #mikelicona

We can show that the resurrection hypothesis is the best historical explanation that Jesus probably rose. #shorts #mikelicona

The historical evidence we have seems to suggest that Jesus rose from the dead. #shorts #mikelicona

Christianity is true, period. #shorts #mikelicona
