Proof for the historicity of the Bible & Proof for the historical Resurrection of Jesus
In all my proofs, I quote Scripture to justify my views. I believe that Scripture is living, true and is above the law. I know that the Scripture is right and true because first, why would God give His people who he loves a book that is full of lies? Second, the amount of original manuscripts of the New Testament in Greek alone is over 5,800. With that many original manuscripts, it is obvious that the Bible is not made up. Third, in the New Testament, the risks the apostles took to claim they were providing eyewitness testimony about Jesus suggests that their books are genuine, which also provides as proof for the resurrection. The disciples’ belief in the resurrection was so strong that they were willing to die for that belief and we know this because of events recorded by the Romans. Peter being crucified upside down and Christians being lit on fire or thrown into the coliseum to fight animals are just a few examples of disciples and apostles dying for the resurrection. If the

However, cohabitation can easily tempt couples into having sex outside of marriage, which I believe is a sin. The Bible blatantly says that sex outside of marriage is adultery even if it is between two people who are going to be married. Throughout the Bible, people who have had sex outside of marriage or committed adultery have been punished by death. For example, when Mary, Jesus’ mother, was pregnant, many people though she had had sex outside of marriage and they were ready to stone her to death.
Cheating (school/work) Cheating is wrong in all cases because it is showing that we are too lazy to do the right thing and we then take advantage of someone else’s hard work instead of doing our own which is being selfish which is a

    True citizens must go beyond the "right" expectations of a society by sometimes doing the wrong expectations in order to have the right outcome. Cheating is a wrong expectation in a society, and even though a society thinks cheating is never the right answer, there are a few cases where it may be a good thing. From the article, "What do school teachers and sip wrestlers have in common", by author Steven J. Dubner, he explains how cheating is a part of every citizens life, and how it may not always be a bad thing in a society because it is naturally a part of many people's lives and there may be some cases where cheating can be used as a slight benefit for some people. "It is the third grader who, worried about not making it to the fourth grade, copies test answers from the kid sitting next to him" (Steven J. Dubner 1). This example of how cheating may be a benefit might not be clear for some people because most people probably view cheating on a test, (whether it's just to pass a grade or not), as a meaningless act because the person who is cheating is not using the mind of there own.…

    The bible is from the original source and the word testament means testimony. Testimony means ‘proof or evidence that something exists or is true’ (merriam webster dictionary). The first stage of the four Gospels was based on the teachings and parables of Jesus during his lifetime when he travelled and preached about the ‘Reign of God’. During 30-33 AD, the idea of the Reign of God was at the centre of his instruction and way of life.…

    Jesus’ Crucifixion Hundreds of different children’s Bibles have been published throughout the world. However, many of them do not contain accurate details, which ends up taking away from the historical accuracy by losing sight of the purpose of the Biblical account. Catherine Marshall’s Story Bible does an excellent job at keeping the stories accurate and purposeful; specifically, the account relating to Jesus’ crucifixion in Luke 23.…

    As students go through school, their minds are always being filled with knowledge. Each student learns and sometimes begins to wonder, how do we know the things we know. The things students are taught are not always concrete items that can be brought to them with solid proof, sometimes students believe things just because their teacher told them that is the truth. In chapter 5 of Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis talks about believing based on authority and how this belief relates to the everyday world and the faith. Lewis states that “ninety-nine per cent of the things you believe are believed on authority” (62).…

    I want to thank Pro for his arguments. I find debate on the subject of God to be fascinating, especially from the side of the theist. As Christopher Hitchens said… “Well, why do I say charming? Because I think it 's rather sweet that people of faith also think they ought to have some evidence. “ Summary of Pro’s argument Pro argues that Jesus existed, that the New Testament is a reliable source for history and thus as it claims Jesus was raised from the Dead that Jesus is God.…

    For as long as it has existed, historians, philosphers, scientists, and everyone in between have questioned the credibility of the New Testament's account of the life of Jesus Christ. Athiests, agnostics, and Christians alike all doubt the feasability of the events depicted in the New Testament. 2In a world where science rules, it is unsurprising the events depicted in the Bible would be scoffed at by many, shrugged off as absurd. Others question how a book can last centuries in human hands without the story it tells being altered. 3Undoubtably, there is immense doubt as to the reliability of the Gospels, whether or not Jesus was in fact the son of God, and how it could be possibly for Jesus to have risen from the dead.…

    The gospels in the Bible are subjective; they do not just state facts, they are a narration about Jesus’ life and works, which makes it open to interpretation. Everyone has their own concept for Jesus’ ideals of his powers. The only source for historical Jesus is found in the four gospels. While the four gospels have similarities, they also contradict each other. They were also released years after Jesus’ death, and they are not first-hand accounts.…

    Many people struggle with this second coming of Jesus or the validity of his Resurrection, and with most modern-day societies busy cultures, many choose to ignore anything which will lead to an end of this material world. Of the five historical criteria for researching Jesus, is multiple attestation, because I can relate to seeking more “witnesses” about his Resurrection. Being that this action, is one of the most important staples of the Christian religion, and any evidence against this would destroy a large group’s faith, yet even modern historical evidence point to the evidence that many wrote about Jesus and his Resurrection. While most of the understanding of this religion requires faith to determine truth, but finding numerous sources…

    In order to uncover unknown information from an ancient civilization, archeologists usually do extensive digging and research in a specified area; however, to uncover truths about Jesus Christ, there was no removal of dirt, as the world 's most sold book was dug into. Although Christianity continues to be the most popular religion, scholars came together in a Seminar, seeking to find the provable truth, which leads to unpopular conclusions. Throughout the article entitled, The Gospel Truth? by David Van Biema, the question of Jesus and the two lenses through which we see him, faith and history, are explored, conclusions are made, and reactions are instant. Instead of believing by faith and tradition, the Jesus Seminar is an attempt to identify…
