00:00:53,200<br \/>\nHello.<br \/>\nMy name is Justin and I&#8217;ll be <\/p>\n<p>10<br \/>\n00:00:53,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:56,100<br \/>\nyour host for this week and the<br \/>\nfollowing week. <\/p>\n<p>11<br \/>\n00:00:57,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:00,000<br \/>\nFor this class.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve chosen a talk by James <\/p>\n<p>12<br \/>\n00:01:00,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:04,800<br \/>\nRobinson, this class made a<br \/>\nfairly significant impact on me <\/p>\n<p>13<br \/>\n00:01:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:07,200<br \/>\nseveral years ago and I really<br \/>\nwanted to share it with <\/p>\n<p>14<br \/>\n00:01:07,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:10,200<br \/>\neveryone.<br \/>\nThis talk gets back to the <\/p>\n<p>15<br \/>\n00:01:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:14,300<br \/>\nbasics and tries to prove the<br \/>\ndeath but more importantly the <\/p>\n<p>16<br \/>\n00:01:14,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:17,400<br \/>\nresurrection of Jesus a backbone<br \/>\nof our faith. <\/p>\n<p>17<br \/>\n00:01:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:21,200<br \/>\nSo now, we&#8217;ll turn it over to<br \/>\nJames. <\/p>\n<p>18<br \/>\n00:01:22,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:23,500<br \/>\nGood evening, brothers and<br \/>\nsisters. <\/p>\n<p>19<br \/>\n00:01:24,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:27,500<br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad to see you all here<br \/>\ntonight because our subject <\/p>\n<p>20<br \/>\n00:01:27,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:30,000<br \/>\ntonight is he is not here.<br \/>\nHe has risen. <\/p>\n<p>21<br \/>\n00:01:30,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:32,800<br \/>\nAnd hopefully it&#8217;ll be a very<br \/>\ninteresting subject for you. <\/p>\n<p>22<br \/>\n00:01:32,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:36,700<br \/>\nAll I greatly enjoyed<br \/>\nresearching it, the subject for <\/p>\n<p>23<br \/>\n00:01:36,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:39,100<br \/>\ntonight officially is he is not<br \/>\nhere. <\/p>\n<p>24<br \/>\n00:01:39,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:42,500<br \/>\nHe has risen, that&#8217;ll probably<br \/>\nbe the subject on whatever board<\/p>\n<p>25<br \/>\n00:01:42,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:44,700<br \/>\nwe have outside.<br \/>\nIf we have a board outside at <\/p>\n<p>26<br \/>\n00:01:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:48,100<br \/>\nthe moment, if we don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s<br \/>\nthe official title. <\/p>\n<p>27<br \/>\n00:01:48,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:51,400<br \/>\nBut what you&#8217;re going to be<br \/>\nhere, Tonight is more simply <\/p>\n<p>28<br \/>\n00:01:51,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:55,100<br \/>\nstated as proof that Jesus<br \/>\nChrist rose from the dead. <\/p>\n<p>29<br \/>\n00:01:55,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:58,700<br \/>\nWhat I&#8217;m going to try and do in<br \/>\nthis talk is go through and get <\/p>\n<p>30<br \/>\n00:01:58,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:01,200<br \/>\nevidence for why we can believe<br \/>\nthat. <\/p>\n<p>31<br \/>\n00:02:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:05,600<br \/>\nJesus Christ, honestly did rise<br \/>\nfrom the dead and the start off.<\/p>\n<p>32<br \/>\n00:02:06,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:10,900<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll explain why this is<br \/>\nimportant because Jesus Christ <\/p>\n<p>33<br \/>\n00:02:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:14,200<br \/>\nrising from the dead is the<br \/>\nfoundation of Christianity. <\/p>\n<p>34<br \/>\n00:02:15,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:16,300<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll notice I have a quote up<br \/>\nthere. <\/p>\n<p>35<br \/>\n00:02:16,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:19,300<br \/>\nFirst Corinthians 15, this is<br \/>\nfrom the Apostle Paul. <\/p>\n<p>36<br \/>\n00:02:19,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:23,100<br \/>\nAll a Christian writing to other<br \/>\nChristians and he says, if <\/p>\n<p>37<br \/>\n00:02:23,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:27,200<br \/>\nChrist has not been raised, our<br \/>\npreaching is useless and so is <\/p>\n<p>38<br \/>\n00:02:27,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:31,400<br \/>\nyour faith, obviously Paul<br \/>\nthought the resurrection was <\/p>\n<p>39<br \/>\n00:02:31,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:35,200<br \/>\npretty important that quote, by<br \/>\nthe way, is from The New <\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\n00:02:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:38,000<br \/>\nInternational Version.<br \/>\nAll quotations tonight on my <\/p>\n<p>41<br \/>\n00:02:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:40,100<br \/>\nslides and that I will be<br \/>\nreading our from The New <\/p>\n<p>42<br \/>\n00:02:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:43,300<br \/>\nInternational Version for the<br \/>\nsimple reason that it&#8217;s very <\/p>\n<p>43<br \/>\n00:02:43,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:46,900<br \/>\neasy to understand and tonight I<br \/>\nwant to make sure that what I&#8217;m <\/p>\n<p>44<br \/>\n00:02:46,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:49,900<br \/>\nsaying is easy to understand<br \/>\nbecause it should be Easy to <\/p>\n<p>45<br \/>\n00:02:49,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:53,900<br \/>\nunderstand that we have a firm<br \/>\nand good reason to believe that <\/p>\n<p>46<br \/>\n00:02:53,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:59,400<br \/>\nJesus Christ rose from the dead.<br \/>\nNow, as for why this is <\/p>\n<p>47<br \/>\n00:02:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:03,400<br \/>\nimportant, Jesus Christ himself,<br \/>\nclaimed that he rose from the <\/p>\n<p>48<br \/>\n00:03:03,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:05,300<br \/>\ndead.<br \/>\nThe reference I have up there. <\/p>\n<p>49<br \/>\n00:03:05,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:09,100<br \/>\nMatthew 17, 22 to 23 is pretty<br \/>\nmuch the same as what we already<\/p>\n<p>50<br \/>\n00:03:09,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:13,300<br \/>\nread earlier in Luke 24, Jesus<br \/>\nclaimed that he was going to be <\/p>\n<p>51<br \/>\n00:03:13,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:17,000<br \/>\nbetrayed and killed and Rise.<br \/>\nAgain, the third day, this is <\/p>\n<p>52<br \/>\n00:03:17,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:20,100<br \/>\nwhat he said.<br \/>\nIf Jesus said this, and it <\/p>\n<p>53<br \/>\n00:03:20,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:22,200<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t happen, then he is a<br \/>\nliar. <\/p>\n<p>54<br \/>\n00:03:22,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:27,700<br \/>\nAnd therefore, it is hugely<br \/>\nimportant whether or not He rose<\/p>\n<p>55<br \/>\n00:03:27,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:31,600<br \/>\nfrom the dead identically, his<br \/>\ndisciples afterwards, all <\/p>\n<p>56<br \/>\n00:03:31,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:36,200<br \/>\nclaimed that he rose from the<br \/>\ndead Acts 2 and 32 it&#8217;s only one<\/p>\n<p>57<br \/>\n00:03:36,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:39,600<br \/>\nreference among many in the New<br \/>\nTestament all claiming the same <\/p>\n<p>58<br \/>\n00:03:39,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:42,000<br \/>\nthing that Jesus rose from the<br \/>\nday. <\/p>\n<p>59<br \/>\n00:03:42,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:45,800<br \/>\nIf he didn&#8217;t rise from the dead,<br \/>\nthen all his disciples are liars<\/p>\n<p>60<br \/>\n00:03:45,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:49,500<br \/>\nto and the entire Christian<br \/>\nfaith is founded on a lie. <\/p>\n<p>61<br \/>\n00:03:49,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:52,800<br \/>\nIf that is the case, then I<br \/>\nmight as well not be speaking up<\/p>\n<p>62<br \/>\n00:03:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:55,900<br \/>\nhere.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s why our subject tonight. <\/p>\n<p>63<br \/>\n00:03:55,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:58,900<br \/>\nIs that the resurrection He did<br \/>\nactually happen because if it <\/p>\n<p>64<br \/>\n00:03:58,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:02,300<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t actually happen, none of<br \/>\nus needs to be here tonight. <\/p>\n<p>65<br \/>\n00:04:02,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:05,200<br \/>\nFinally, there&#8217;s one other<br \/>\nimportant Point. <\/p>\n<p>66<br \/>\n00:04:05,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:09,300<br \/>\nChristianity has a lot of things<br \/>\nthat are important to it and <\/p>\n<p>67<br \/>\n00:04:09,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:11,800<br \/>\ntonight I&#8217;m not going to talk<br \/>\nabout everything that <\/p>\n<p>68<br \/>\n00:04:11,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:14,600<br \/>\nChristianity deals with.<br \/>\nWell one thing that you have to <\/p>\n<p>69<br \/>\n00:04:14,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:18,000<br \/>\nunderstand is Christianity is<br \/>\nbased on Jesus Christ as a <\/p>\n<p>70<br \/>\n00:04:18,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:22,700<br \/>\nliving, savior, if Jesus Christ<br \/>\nis dead in a tomb right now or <\/p>\n<p>71<br \/>\n00:04:22,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:26,100<br \/>\nmoldering in the ground<br \/>\nsomeplace, then Christianity is <\/p>\n<p>72<br \/>\n00:04:26,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:28,500<br \/>\nuseless because Does not have a<br \/>\nsavior. <\/p>\n<p>73<br \/>\n00:04:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:30,800<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s savior is dead and there is<br \/>\nno. <\/p>\n<p>74<br \/>\n00:04:30,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:33,100<br \/>\nHope you can put in somebody who<br \/>\nis dead. <\/p>\n<p>75<br \/>\n00:04:34,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:39,300<br \/>\nBut tonight we&#8217;re going to get<br \/>\ninto if he was resurrected and <\/p>\n<p>76<br \/>\n00:04:39,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:42,700<br \/>\nif he was resurrected, that<br \/>\nmeans some things as well. <\/p>\n<p>77<br \/>\n00:04:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:48,100<br \/>\nFirst of all, it means that when<br \/>\nJesus made the claim that he was<\/p>\n<p>78<br \/>\n00:04:48,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:51,700<br \/>\ngoing to die and be resurrected<br \/>\nand it actually happened. <\/p>\n<p>79<br \/>\n00:04:52,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:56,000<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s pretty astounding.<br \/>\nYou can go talk to any <\/p>\n<p>80<br \/>\n00:04:56,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:58,800<br \/>\nUndertaker and they will not<br \/>\ntell you that their corpses that<\/p>\n<p>81<br \/>\n00:04:58,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:00,500<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re dealing with rise from<br \/>\nthe dead. <\/p>\n<p>82<br \/>\n00:05:00,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:04,100<br \/>\nThis is not a common occurrence,<br \/>\nthis is something we call a <\/p>\n<p>83<br \/>\n00:05:04,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:06,700<br \/>\nmiracle.<br \/>\nAnd if he is able to accurately <\/p>\n<p>84<br \/>\n00:05:06,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:12,100<br \/>\npredict a miraculous occurrence,<br \/>\nthen we might want to believe <\/p>\n<p>85<br \/>\n00:05:12,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:15,700<br \/>\nthe other things that he said,<br \/>\nidentical case for his disciples<\/p>\n<p>86<br \/>\n00:05:16,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:19,300<br \/>\nif they&#8217;re all saying, something<br \/>\ntotally astounding happen and it<\/p>\n<p>87<br \/>\n00:05:19,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:22,200<br \/>\nactually did happen.<br \/>\nThen we might have reason to <\/p>\n<p>88<br \/>\n00:05:22,207 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:23,800<br \/>\nbelieve the other things they<br \/>\nsay. <\/p>\n<p>89<br \/>\n00:05:24,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:28,200<br \/>\nAnd they said some other pretty<br \/>\nfascinating things, one of them <\/p>\n<p>90<br \/>\n00:05:28,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:31,600<br \/>\nis quoted on the screen there<br \/>\nfor the son of man is going to <\/p>\n<p>91<br \/>\n00:05:31,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:35,400<br \/>\ncome in his father&#8217;s Glory with<br \/>\nhis angels and then he Reward <\/p>\n<p>92<br \/>\n00:05:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:38,000<br \/>\neach person according to what he<br \/>\nhas done. <\/p>\n<p>93<br \/>\n00:05:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:42,200<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a pretty scary prediction<br \/>\nthat Christ is going to come and<\/p>\n<p>94<br \/>\n00:05:42,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:45,000<br \/>\njudge the world.<br \/>\nAnd so if they were right about <\/p>\n<p>95<br \/>\n00:05:45,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:48,000<br \/>\nthat, maybe we need to lend some<br \/>\nCredence to the other things <\/p>\n<p>96<br \/>\n00:05:48,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:50,700<br \/>\nthey said and that&#8217;s going to be<br \/>\na scary proposition. <\/p>\n<p>97<br \/>\n00:05:51,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:54,600<br \/>\nSo again our subject is<br \/>\nimportant did Jesus rise from <\/p>\n<p>98<br \/>\n00:05:54,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:57,800<br \/>\nthe dead or didn&#8217;t?<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to try and<\/p>\n<p>99<br \/>\n00:05:57,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:02,100<br \/>\nprove to you tonight.<br \/>\nNow proof is an interesting <\/p>\n<p>100<br \/>\n00:06:02,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:04,400<br \/>\nthing, how do we prove<br \/>\nsomething? <\/p>\n<p>101<br \/>\n00:06:04,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:08,200<br \/>\nEspecially something quite so<br \/>\namazing as a person rising from <\/p>\n<p>102<br \/>\n00:06:08,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:10,900<br \/>\nthe dead.<br \/>\nIt is not hard to prove to you <\/p>\n<p>103<br \/>\n00:06:10,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:13,200<br \/>\ntonight that gravity exists<br \/>\nhere. <\/p>\n<p>104<br \/>\n00:06:13,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:18,200<br \/>\nI have a book, I drop the book<br \/>\nif falls down that has proven to<\/p>\n<p>105<br \/>\n00:06:18,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:21,100<br \/>\nyou that gravity exists.<br \/>\nBut proving a resurrection from <\/p>\n<p>106<br \/>\n00:06:21,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:23,800<br \/>\nthe dead.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not quite so easy because <\/p>\n<p>107<br \/>\n00:06:24,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:29,000<br \/>\ndead people do not normally come<br \/>\nback to life books. <\/p>\n<p>108<br \/>\n00:06:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:32,500<br \/>\nNormally fall when we drop them<br \/>\ndead, people do not normally <\/p>\n<p>109<br \/>\n00:06:32,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:36,200<br \/>\ncome back to life.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s called a And to prove a <\/p>\n<p>110<br \/>\n00:06:36,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:41,200<br \/>\nmiracle is difficult, in fact,<br \/>\non someone back in the 1700s <\/p>\n<p>111<br \/>\n00:06:41,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:44,700<br \/>\ncalled David Hume, who was an<br \/>\natheist, wrote a whole book on <\/p>\n<p>112<br \/>\n00:06:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:47,600<br \/>\nthe subject and one of the<br \/>\nthings he said, which I thought <\/p>\n<p>113<br \/>\n00:06:47,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:52,500<br \/>\nwas quite wise, was that no<br \/>\ntestimony is sufficient to <\/p>\n<p>114<br \/>\n00:06:52,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:56,300<br \/>\nestablish a miracle unless the<br \/>\ntestimony of you have such kind <\/p>\n<p>115<br \/>\n00:06:56,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:59,700<br \/>\nthat it&#8217;s falsehood, would be<br \/>\nmore miraculous than the fact, <\/p>\n<p>116<br \/>\n00:06:59,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:03,300<br \/>\nwhich it Endeavors to establish.<br \/>\nIn other words, if we want to <\/p>\n<p>117<br \/>\n00:07:03,308 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:06,200<br \/>\nbelieve that something.<br \/>\nThing happened which seems <\/p>\n<p>118<br \/>\n00:07:06,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:10,300<br \/>\ntotally impossible.<br \/>\nThat the only way we can do that<\/p>\n<p>119<br \/>\n00:07:10,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:13,700<br \/>\nreasonably, is to believe that<br \/>\nit would be totally impossible <\/p>\n<p>120<br \/>\n00:07:13,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:17,700<br \/>\nfor it not to happen.<br \/>\nIn other words, if we can <\/p>\n<p>121<br \/>\n00:07:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:22,200<br \/>\ndiscount everything else and say<br \/>\nthat couldn&#8217;t have happened then<\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:07:22,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:25,100<br \/>\nwe might believe in a miracle.<br \/>\nOtherwise why would you believe <\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:07:25,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:27,800<br \/>\nthat someone Rose from the day?<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t normally happen. <\/p>\n<p>124<br \/>\n00:07:27,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:32,900<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not a recurring fact, we<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t go and make someone else <\/p>\n<p>125<br \/>\n00:07:33,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:36,100<br \/>\nrise from the dead.<br \/>\nSo if we Prove that we need to <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:07:36,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:39,100<br \/>\nprove it by showing that nothing<br \/>\nelse works. <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:07:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:44,000<br \/>\nAnd so tonight I&#8217;m going to make<br \/>\ntwo claims I&#8217;m going to claim <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:07:44,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:49,000<br \/>\nfirst of all, that it is a<br \/>\nreasonable proposition that the <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:07:49,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:51,700<br \/>\nJesus Christ was resurrected<br \/>\nfrom the day that this is a <\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:07:51,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:53,700<br \/>\nreasonable explanation of the<br \/>\nfacts. <\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:07:54,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:57,400<br \/>\nAnd secondly, I am going to<br \/>\nclaim that there is no other <\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:07:57,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:59,600<br \/>\nreasonable explanation of the<br \/>\nfacts. <\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:08:00,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:03,100<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll notice extensive use of<br \/>\nthe word reasonable in that. <\/p>\n<p>134<br \/>\n00:08:03,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:06,000<br \/>\nThe reason for that is that That<br \/>\nin a court of law. <\/p>\n<p>135<br \/>\n00:08:06,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:09,100<br \/>\nWhen we&#8217;re trying to convict<br \/>\nsomeone in a criminal court, the<\/p>\n<p>136<br \/>\n00:08:09,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:12,000<br \/>\nburden of proof that Slade on<br \/>\nthe prosecution is that they <\/p>\n<p>137<br \/>\n00:08:12,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:14,200<br \/>\nhave to prove.<br \/>\nHe is guilty of beyond all <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:08:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:17,500<br \/>\nReasonable Doubt.<br \/>\nObviously, there are some people<\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:08:17,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:20,000<br \/>\ntonight who are going to be able<br \/>\nto doubt me, no matter what I <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:08:20,008 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:22,000<br \/>\nsay.<br \/>\nBut I want to be able to prove <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:08:22,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:26,300<br \/>\nto you beyond all reasonable<br \/>\ndoubt that Jesus Christ, rose <\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:08:26,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:27,900<br \/>\nfrom the dead.<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re working on<\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:08:27,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:29,500<br \/>\ntonight.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re not dealing with are <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:08:29,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:32,000<br \/>\nreasonable facts.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re dealing with reasonable <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:08:32,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:35,400<br \/>\nfacts that you should be able to<br \/>\nreasonably Understand. <\/p>\n<p>146<br \/>\n00:08:37,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:40,500<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s start off with some<br \/>\ndocumentary evidence. <\/p>\n<p>147<br \/>\n00:08:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:44,500<br \/>\nWe read Luke 24 tonight which is<br \/>\na documentary account that <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:08:44,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:47,100<br \/>\nclaims that Jesus Christ rose<br \/>\nfrom the dead. <\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:08:47,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:51,400<br \/>\nHere is a few other ones.<br \/>\nIn fact in the Bible we have <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:08:51,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:54,200<br \/>\nfour different accounts that all<br \/>\nclaim. <\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:08:54,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:57,400<br \/>\nThe same thing that Jesus Christ<br \/>\nis risen from the dead. <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:08:57,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:00,900<br \/>\nYou see short excerpts from the<br \/>\nmall up on the slide tonight. <\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:09:02,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:05,500<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not going to go through and<br \/>\nread each one but they all say <\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:09:05,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:09,300<br \/>\nabout the same thing and I asked<br \/>\nyou if you don&#8217;t believe me to <\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:09:09,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:12,400<br \/>\nread it because they all say<br \/>\nabout the same thing that this <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:09:12,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:15,000<br \/>\nman rose from the dead.<br \/>\nAnd the interesting thing about <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:09:15,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:16,900<br \/>\nthis is it&#8217;s not a single<br \/>\nwitness. <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:09:17,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:19,700<br \/>\nWe have four different<br \/>\nWitnesses, two of them. <\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:09:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:22,300<br \/>\nMatthew and John were<br \/>\neyewitnesses of these events. <\/p>\n<p>160<br \/>\n00:09:22,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:25,800<br \/>\nMark was not an eyewitness.<br \/>\nHe was writing based on the <\/p>\n<p>161<br \/>\n00:09:25,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:28,900<br \/>\ntestimony of another eyewitness<br \/>\nwhich was Peter and Luke does <\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:09:28,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:32,300<br \/>\nnot claim via night witness.<br \/>\nHis was a compilation but all <\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:09:32,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:35,900<br \/>\nThese people were writing at<br \/>\nabout the same time and all <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:09:35,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:38,900<br \/>\nclaim that this happened, that<br \/>\nshould give us an inkling that <\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:09:38,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:42,000<br \/>\nmaybe something happened.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t prove that it did <\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:09:42,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:44,600<br \/>\nhappen because we&#8217;re not going<br \/>\nto look at these people tonight <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:09:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:47,400<br \/>\nas inspired by God.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the position of the <\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:09:47,408 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:50,800<br \/>\nchristadelphians.<br \/>\nBut if their writings inspired <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:09:50,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:53,300<br \/>\nby God, I might as well, not be<br \/>\ntalking tonight, anyway, because<\/p>\n<p>170<br \/>\n00:09:53,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:56,600<br \/>\nthe case is already proven.<br \/>\nIf it&#8217;s inspired then we believe<\/p>\n<p>171<br \/>\n00:09:56,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:57,300<br \/>\nit in.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s it. <\/p>\n<p>172<br \/>\n00:09:57,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:58,700<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re not going to do that<br \/>\ntonight. <\/p>\n<p>173<br \/>\n00:09:58,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:01,700<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to assume that these<br \/>\nare historical documents, but <\/p>\n<p>174<br \/>\n00:10:01,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:04,500<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not going to say Assume that<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re inspired by God, because<\/p>\n<p>175<br \/>\n00:10:04,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:07,100<br \/>\nif they&#8217;re inspired by God we<br \/>\nhave a circular argument. <\/p>\n<p>176<br \/>\n00:10:07,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:09,900<br \/>\nAnd my case is already over,<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re going to assume though <\/p>\n<p>177<br \/>\n00:10:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:13,600<br \/>\nthat they are historical<br \/>\ntestimony and we have good <\/p>\n<p>178<br \/>\n00:10:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:16,700<br \/>\nreason to assume that.<br \/>\nWell there&#8217;s more documentary <\/p>\n<p>179<br \/>\n00:10:16,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:17,900<br \/>\nevidence.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re going to skip that for <\/p>\n<p>180<br \/>\n00:10:17,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:21,200<br \/>\nright now though we&#8217;re going to<br \/>\nlet us look at the veracity of <\/p>\n<p>181<br \/>\n00:10:21,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:23,800<br \/>\nthese documents.<br \/>\nFirst of all, when were they re <\/p>\n<p>182<br \/>\n00:10:24,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:28,000<br \/>\nif Mark had written his gospel?<br \/>\n500 years. <\/p>\n<p>183<br \/>\n00:10:28,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:30,700<br \/>\nAfter the events happened, we<br \/>\nmight have reason to doubt him, <\/p>\n<p>184<br \/>\n00:10:31,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:34,800<br \/>\nbut that&#8217;s not the case.<br \/>\nYou see up here, what I found as<\/p>\n<p>185<br \/>\n00:10:34,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:37,900<br \/>\nscholarly opinion by those<br \/>\nScholars, who actually have <\/p>\n<p>186<br \/>\n00:10:37,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:42,800<br \/>\nreason to believe that these<br \/>\nauthors were not lying, if you <\/p>\n<p>187<br \/>\n00:10:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:44,800<br \/>\nbelieve that the authors were<br \/>\nlying, you get a bunch of dates <\/p>\n<p>188<br \/>\n00:10:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:48,400<br \/>\nafter 80 70.<br \/>\nBut based on what they actually <\/p>\n<p>189<br \/>\n00:10:48,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:52,400<br \/>\nwrote, the dates are usually in<br \/>\nthis range 80\/50, 27, which puts<\/p>\n<p>190<br \/>\n00:10:52,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:57,000<br \/>\nyou at most 40 years after the<br \/>\nevents in cave question, You&#8217;re <\/p>\n<p>191<br \/>\n00:10:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:00,200<br \/>\nnot accounts by people long<br \/>\nafter the events are past. <\/p>\n<p>192<br \/>\n00:11:00,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:03,400<br \/>\nThese are people who claim to be<br \/>\nisland us&#8217;, and wrote a time <\/p>\n<p>193<br \/>\n00:11:03,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:04,900<br \/>\nperiod where they could be<br \/>\neyewitnesses. <\/p>\n<p>194<br \/>\n00:11:05,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:09,200<br \/>\nSecondly, it&#8217;s often a question<br \/>\nof who actually wrote These <\/p>\n<p>195<br \/>\n00:11:09,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:12,600<br \/>\ngospels.<br \/>\nHowever, based on my research <\/p>\n<p>196<br \/>\n00:11:12,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:17,800<br \/>\nagain tonight, I&#8217;m not going to<br \/>\ngive you a documentary, go over <\/p>\n<p>197<br \/>\n00:11:17,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:20,800<br \/>\nof everything to do with textual<br \/>\nanalysis of the gospels. <\/p>\n<p>198<br \/>\n00:11:20,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:24,700<br \/>\nWhat I will say, though, if the<br \/>\nauthorship was not questioned <\/p>\n<p>199<br \/>\n00:11:24,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:27,200<br \/>\nfor any of these for the next<br \/>\n500 years, Years. <\/p>\n<p>200<br \/>\n00:11:27,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:31,900<br \/>\nAnd so everyone in those time<br \/>\nperiods and we have lots of <\/p>\n<p>201<br \/>\n00:11:31,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:36,000<br \/>\ndocuments says, Mark, wrote<br \/>\nMark, Matthew wrote, Matthew, <\/p>\n<p>202<br \/>\n00:11:36,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:42,200<br \/>\nJohn wrote, John, and if so we<br \/>\nhad good reason to believe that <\/p>\n<p>203<br \/>\n00:11:42,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:45,000<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s the case.<br \/>\nThese people wrote those books <\/p>\n<p>204<br \/>\n00:11:45,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:48,200<br \/>\nand honestly, believed what they<br \/>\nwrote, we have these books, <\/p>\n<p>205<br \/>\n00:11:48,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:51,900<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s what they say.<br \/>\nAnd just as a bit of comparison <\/p>\n<p>206<br \/>\n00:11:52,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:58,100<br \/>\nDuke, can we trust these books<br \/>\nwritten 2000 years ago, actually<\/p>\n<p>207<br \/>\n00:11:58,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:00,100<br \/>\ngot to us in a reasonable<br \/>\ncondition. <\/p>\n<p>208<br \/>\n00:12:01,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:05,200<br \/>\nSo Up here we have a brief<br \/>\ncomparison of the textual <\/p>\n<p>209<br \/>\n00:12:05,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:08,000<br \/>\nattestation of the New Testament<br \/>\nversus some other contemporary <\/p>\n<p>210<br \/>\n00:12:08,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:11,100<br \/>\ndocuments.<br \/>\nFor example, we&#8217;ve got Julius <\/p>\n<p>211<br \/>\n00:12:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:12,500<br \/>\nCaesar, you might have heard of<br \/>\nhim. <\/p>\n<p>212<br \/>\n00:12:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:17,300<br \/>\nHe was a Roman general who wrote<br \/>\nsome rather long accounts, in <\/p>\n<p>213<br \/>\n00:12:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:20,400<br \/>\nLatin about his conquest of the<br \/>\ngaulish nation. <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:12:21,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:25,100<br \/>\nAnd these have been used as<br \/>\nbasic Latin texts. <\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:12:25,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:30,000<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re taking Latin for a<br \/>\nlong time, The written up in the<\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:12:30,008 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:34,100<br \/>\nhistory books.<br \/>\nHowever, as for manuscripts we <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:12:34,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:37,000<br \/>\nonly actually have 10 different<br \/>\nmanuscripts, ancient <\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:12:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:42,800<br \/>\nmanuscripts, and not like modern<br \/>\ncopies of these events and the <\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:12:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:45,700<br \/>\nnew like the oldest one.<br \/>\nAs in the closest When It Was <\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:12:45,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:48,000<br \/>\nWritten, is it Thousand Years<br \/>\nafterwards? <\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:12:48,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:50,200<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re not saying that it was<br \/>\nwritten a thousand years <\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:12:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:52,400<br \/>\nafterwards.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re saying that it was copied <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:12:52,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:54,500<br \/>\nand recopied and we copied and<br \/>\nthe newest copy. <\/p>\n<p>224<br \/>\n00:12:54,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:57,700<br \/>\nWe have is a thousand years<br \/>\nafter it was originally written.<\/p>\n<p>225<br \/>\n00:12:57,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:02,100<br \/>\nSo It&#8217;s been lots of time for<br \/>\nerrors to creep it and yet we we<\/p>\n<p>226<br \/>\n00:13:02,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:03,800<br \/>\ntrust that Caesar conquered the<br \/>\nGauls. <\/p>\n<p>227<br \/>\n00:13:05,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:06,700<br \/>\nWe have a bunch of other authors<br \/>\nhere. <\/p>\n<p>228<br \/>\n00:13:06,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:10,200<br \/>\nThe last one you&#8217;ll notice is<br \/>\nthe New Testament and the thing <\/p>\n<p>229<br \/>\n00:13:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:13,500<br \/>\nis for the New Testament, it&#8217;s<br \/>\nalmost embarrassing. <\/p>\n<p>230<br \/>\n00:13:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:15,300<br \/>\nJust how much evidence we have<br \/>\nthat. <\/p>\n<p>231<br \/>\n00:13:15,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:20,200<br \/>\nThe New Testament was written<br \/>\nand just how much material we <\/p>\n<p>232<br \/>\n00:13:20,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:22,800<br \/>\nhave to go through it.<br \/>\nAnd figure out whether or not, <\/p>\n<p>233<br \/>\n00:13:22,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:25,900<br \/>\nthis is a textual Lee accurate<br \/>\ndocument to what was originally <\/p>\n<p>234<br \/>\n00:13:25,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:28,300<br \/>\nwritten.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll notice that the Of <\/p>\n<p>235<br \/>\n00:13:28,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:30,400<br \/>\nmanuscripts.<br \/>\nWe have is two orders of <\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:13:30,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:33,700<br \/>\nmagnitude higher than the<br \/>\nclosest contemporary manuscript <\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:13:34,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:38,400<br \/>\nclosest contemporary document,<br \/>\nwhich is Homer&#8217;s The Iliad You <\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:13:38,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:41,700<br \/>\nalso notice that the time span<br \/>\nwe have is a lot closer. <\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:13:42,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:45,500<br \/>\nWe have a fragment from the<br \/>\nGospel of John, that&#8217;s identical<\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:13:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:49,400<br \/>\nto what we currently have.<br \/>\nThat was just covered in Egypt <\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:13:49,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:53,800<br \/>\nthat data to 8125, or give or<br \/>\ntake one or two years. <\/p>\n<p>242<br \/>\n00:13:54,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:59,000<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s not much more than 25<br \/>\nyears after it was originally <\/p>\n<p>243<br \/>\n00:13:59,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:01,800<br \/>\nwritten.<br \/>\nNow, if you want a complete set,<\/p>\n<p>244<br \/>\n00:14:01,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:05,600<br \/>\nyou have to go to about.<br \/>\nYeah, the third Century ad again<\/p>\n<p>245<br \/>\n00:14:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:09,500<br \/>\nthat totally beats Homer&#8217;s.<br \/>\nThe Iliad in how close we have a<\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:14:09,508 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:12,900<br \/>\ncopy to when it was originally<br \/>\nwritten, these documents have <\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:14:12,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:16,400<br \/>\nbeen well preserved.<br \/>\nAnd there&#8217;s a quote that I like <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:14:16,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:22,300<br \/>\nto read you, that was from the<br \/>\nconclusion of an article. <\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:14:22,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:26,000<br \/>\nI read on a text to authenticity<br \/>\nof the New Testament. <\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:14:26,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:30,000<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s like this simply put.<br \/>\nIf we reject the authenticity, <\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:14:30,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:32,100<br \/>\nOf the New Testament on textual<br \/>\ngrounds. <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:14:32,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:35,400<br \/>\nWe&#8217;d have to reject every<br \/>\nancient worked event equity and <\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:14:35,408 &#8211;&gt;

00:14:45,300<br \/>\nsecond Millennium 80.<br \/>\nIn other words, if we throw out <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:14:45,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:48,300<br \/>\nthe New Testament because we<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t trust the text, we have to<\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:14:48,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:51,000<br \/>\nthrow out a whole lot of other<br \/>\nstuff because the New Testament <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:14:51,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:53,700<br \/>\nis on much better grounds than<br \/>\nmost of our knowledge of the <\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:14:53,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:56,200<br \/>\nancient world.<br \/>\nThese are not documents that you<\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:14:56,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:58,200<br \/>\ncan discount simply because<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re old. <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:14:59,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:02,400<br \/>\nSecond, we have a lot of old<br \/>\ndocuments. <\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:15:02,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:05,300<br \/>\nWe have a lot of new documents<br \/>\nthat people don&#8217;t believe <\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:15:05,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:10,100<br \/>\nbecause they&#8217;re not believable.<br \/>\nWe have fairy tales of say <\/p>\n<p>264<br \/>\n00:15:10,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:15,900<br \/>\nRapunzel, nobody, no scholar<br \/>\nthat I know of reputably <\/p>\n<p>265<br \/>\n00:15:15,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:19,200<br \/>\nbelieves that Rapunzel was an<br \/>\nactual person with eight foot <\/p>\n<p>266<br \/>\n00:15:19,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:23,700<br \/>\nhair that had a prince climb up.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a question of are these <\/p>\n<p>267<br \/>\n00:15:23,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:29,300<br \/>\nwere liable documents And for<br \/>\nthat matter, you have to analyze<\/p>\n<p>268<br \/>\n00:15:29,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:32,000<br \/>\nthe document.<br \/>\nThere have been some excellent <\/p>\n<p>269<br \/>\n00:15:32,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:34,100<br \/>\nbooks written on this.<br \/>\nThe one I&#8217;d like to point out to<\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:15:34,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:37,200<br \/>\nyou, is this one by Frank<br \/>\nMorrison called who moved the <\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:15:37,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:39,700<br \/>\nstone?<br \/>\nThe introduction of that book is<\/p>\n<p>272<br \/>\n00:15:39,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:42,800<br \/>\ndefinitely worth reading because<br \/>\nhe starts off talking about how <\/p>\n<p>273<br \/>\n00:15:43,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:46,800<br \/>\nhe intended to write a book to<br \/>\ndiscover, who the real Jesus was<\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:15:47,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:51,100<br \/>\nafter sifting through all the<br \/>\nevidence and finding out where <\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:15:51,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:55,400<br \/>\nthere was just the made up stuff<br \/>\nand where the real Jesus shown <\/p>\n<p>276<br \/>\n00:15:55,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:57,900<br \/>\nThrough any.<br \/>\nSo we are going to read through <\/p>\n<p>277<br \/>\n00:15:57,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:00,000<br \/>\nthe Book of Mark.<br \/>\nLook through the last seven days<\/p>\n<p>278<br \/>\n00:16:00,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:03,500<br \/>\nof Jesus life and find out what<br \/>\nwas true and what wasn&#8217;t true <\/p>\n<p>279<br \/>\n00:16:04,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:07,900<br \/>\nand he intended to prove that<br \/>\nJesus did not actually rise from<\/p>\n<p>280<br \/>\n00:16:07,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:11,000<br \/>\nthe dead.<br \/>\nHe ended up becoming a Christian<\/p>\n<p>281<br \/>\n00:16:11,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:14,900<br \/>\nand his book who moved the stone<br \/>\nis not a proof that Jesus did <\/p>\n<p>282<br \/>\n00:16:14,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:17,600<br \/>\nnot rise from the dead, but a<br \/>\nproof that he did rise from the <\/p>\n<p>283<br \/>\n00:16:17,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:20,300<br \/>\ndead.<br \/>\nNow, Frank Morrison was a lawyer<\/p>\n<p>284<br \/>\n00:16:20,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:23,300<br \/>\nwho did this and he didn&#8217;t know<br \/>\nabout it at the time he was <\/p>\n<p>285<br \/>\n00:16:23,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:27,900<br \/>\nwriting who Moved Stone but<br \/>\ngoing through and examining the <\/p>\n<p>286<br \/>\n00:16:27,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:31,100<br \/>\nevidence of each of the<br \/>\ndifferent Witnesses and cross <\/p>\n<p>287<br \/>\n00:16:31,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:32,900<br \/>\nexamining them.<br \/>\nAnd looking at it from a legal <\/p>\n<p>288<br \/>\n00:16:32,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:37,000<br \/>\nperspective was not new.<br \/>\nIn fact, Simon Greenlee a <\/p>\n<p>289<br \/>\n00:16:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:40,100<br \/>\nprofessor from a little-known<br \/>\nuniversity in the It&#8217;s called <\/p>\n<p>290<br \/>\n00:16:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:43,000<br \/>\nHarvard.<br \/>\nI had done it a little bit <\/p>\n<p>291<br \/>\n00:16:43,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:46,600<br \/>\nearlier, back in the 1700s.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s called the testimony of the<\/p>\n<p>292<br \/>\n00:16:46,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:48,500<br \/>\nevangelists and it did the same<br \/>\nthing. <\/p>\n<p>293<br \/>\n00:16:48,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:51,800<br \/>\nIt went through each of the<br \/>\ndifferent gospels and use the <\/p>\n<p>294<br \/>\n00:16:51,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:57,300<br \/>\nprinciples of law to go through<br \/>\nand figure out were these <\/p>\n<p>295<br \/>\n00:16:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:01,500<br \/>\ntestimonies accurate?<br \/>\nDid it have a case now? <\/p>\n<p>296<br \/>\n00:17:01,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:03,000<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not a lawyer.<br \/>\nYeah. <\/p>\n<p>297<br \/>\n00:17:03,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:08,900<br \/>\nSo if you want to truly get a<br \/>\nlegal perspective on these <\/p>\n<p>298<br \/>\n00:17:08,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:12,000<br \/>\nthings, So you&#8217;re going to have<br \/>\nto read those books but they&#8217;re <\/p>\n<p>299<br \/>\n00:17:12,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:15,599<br \/>\nworth looking at and I found<br \/>\nthem very convincing. <\/p>\n<p>300<br \/>\n00:17:17,099 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:19,599<br \/>\nAs well.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a whole lot of things in<\/p>\n<p>301<br \/>\n00:17:19,599 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:21,500<br \/>\nthe record itself that are<br \/>\nconvinced. <\/p>\n<p>302<br \/>\n00:17:21,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:24,000<br \/>\nI&#8217;m only going to pull out some<br \/>\nof them because I don&#8217;t have all<\/p>\n<p>303<br \/>\n00:17:24,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:27,000<br \/>\nnight tonight.<br \/>\nBut this is one that I found <\/p>\n<p>304<br \/>\n00:17:27,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:30,700<br \/>\nparticularly interesting in the<br \/>\nGospel of John, John records. <\/p>\n<p>305<br \/>\n00:17:31,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:34,200<br \/>\nBut when they came to Jesus and<br \/>\nfound that he was already dead, <\/p>\n<p>306<br \/>\n00:17:34,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:37,100<br \/>\nthey did not break his legs.<br \/>\nInstead, one of the soldiers <\/p>\n<p>307<br \/>\n00:17:37,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:41,400<br \/>\npierced Jesus side with a spear<br \/>\nbringing, a sudden flow of blood<\/p>\n<p>308<br \/>\n00:17:41,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:44,300<br \/>\nand water.<br \/>\nAnd why was this recorded? <\/p>\n<p>309<br \/>\n00:17:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:49,300<br \/>\nIts recorded because it&#8217;s weird<br \/>\nthat if you pierce someone <\/p>\n<p>310<br \/>\n00:17:49,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:54,900<br \/>\noutcomes, both blood and water.<br \/>\nThis is not a normal event, but <\/p>\n<p>311<br \/>\n00:17:54,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:58,700<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s the sort of thing that<br \/>\nmakes it seem that if it <\/p>\n<p>312<br \/>\n00:17:58,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:01,500<br \/>\nactually truly happened, it<br \/>\nwould mean that this witness was<\/p>\n<p>313<br \/>\n00:18:01,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:06,200<br \/>\ntelling the truth.<br \/>\nSo once upon a time, back in <\/p>\n<p>314<br \/>\n00:18:06,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:10,000<br \/>\nabout the 1700s again, there was<br \/>\na physiologist at the University<\/p>\n<p>315<br \/>\n00:18:10,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:12,700<br \/>\nof Dublin who decided to run<br \/>\nsome tests on animals. <\/p>\n<p>316<br \/>\n00:18:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:16,600<br \/>\nSo key and he was also a<br \/>\nphysiologist. <\/p>\n<p>317<br \/>\n00:18:16,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:19,400<br \/>\nSo we&#8217;ve seen a lot with humans.<br \/>\nSo what he did was, he pierced, <\/p>\n<p>318<br \/>\n00:18:19,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:22,900<br \/>\nlots of left signs with large<br \/>\nknives comparable in size with <\/p>\n<p>319<br \/>\n00:18:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:26,200<br \/>\nthe Romans fear, and he found<br \/>\nthat there were five distinct <\/p>\n<p>320<br \/>\n00:18:26,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:29,700<br \/>\ncases that could happen.<br \/>\nFirst of all, sometimes he got a<\/p>\n<p>321<br \/>\n00:18:29,708 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:34,200<br \/>\nflow with nothing if he got<br \/>\nnothing at all except some <\/p>\n<p>322<br \/>\n00:18:34,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:38,500<br \/>\nslight trickling up blood.<br \/>\nSo then lie, sometimes he got a <\/p>\n<p>323<br \/>\n00:18:38,508 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:40,900<br \/>\nwhole lot of blood and then<br \/>\nnothing else. <\/p>\n<p>324<br \/>\n00:18:41,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:46,400<br \/>\nSometimes though he got a flow<br \/>\nof water and then a few drops of<\/p>\n<p>325<br \/>\n00:18:46,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:50,300<br \/>\nblood.<br \/>\nNow based on these conclusions, <\/p>\n<p>326<br \/>\n00:18:50,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:54,400<br \/>\nhe could tell based on what<br \/>\nhappened, how the thing died. <\/p>\n<p>327<br \/>\n00:18:54,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:59,100<br \/>\nThis is going to use some<br \/>\nmedical terminology for example,<\/p>\n<p>328<br \/>\n00:18:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:02,300<br \/>\nof these three cases.<br \/>\nThe first is that what usually <\/p>\n<p>329<br \/>\n00:19:02,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:06,500<br \/>\noccurs as in on a normal death?<br \/>\nYou get just a small trickle of <\/p>\n<p>330<br \/>\n00:19:06,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:08,600<br \/>\nblood.<br \/>\nSecond is found in cases of <\/p>\n<p>331<br \/>\n00:19:08,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:11,900<br \/>\ndeath by drowning and by strict<br \/>\nNia may be demonstrated by <\/p>\n<p>332<br \/>\n00:19:11,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:14,900<br \/>\ndestroying an animal with that<br \/>\npoison and it can be proved to <\/p>\n<p>333<br \/>\n00:19:14,908 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:17,000<br \/>\nbe the natural case of a<br \/>\ncrucified person. <\/p>\n<p>334<br \/>\n00:19:17,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:20,300<br \/>\nThe third is found in cases of<br \/>\ndeath from pleurisy pericarditis<\/p>\n<p>335<br \/>\n00:19:20,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:22,800<br \/>\nand rupture of the heart.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not a doctor. <\/p>\n<p>336<br \/>\n00:19:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:25,800<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s a doctor, you can have to<br \/>\ndepend on him or look up these <\/p>\n<p>337<br \/>\n00:19:25,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:27,500<br \/>\nterms to find out exactly what<br \/>\nthey mean. <\/p>\n<p>338<br \/>\n00:19:30,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:34,600<br \/>\nHis point though is that these,<br \/>\nhe came up with two following <\/p>\n<p>339<br \/>\n00:19:34,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:38,500<br \/>\ncases that aren&#8217;t normal.<br \/>\nThese two cup following cases <\/p>\n<p>340<br \/>\n00:19:38,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:42,000<br \/>\nwere a copious flow of water.<br \/>\nSucceeded by a, copious flow of <\/p>\n<p>341<br \/>\n00:19:42,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:46,500<br \/>\nblood or a copious flow of blood<br \/>\nsucceeded by copious flow of <\/p>\n<p>342<br \/>\n00:19:46,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:48,900<br \/>\nwater.<br \/>\nHe determined that these would <\/p>\n<p>343<br \/>\n00:19:48,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:53,300<br \/>\nonly occur in a crucified person<br \/>\nwho had previously separate from<\/p>\n<p>344<br \/>\n00:19:53,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:57,700<br \/>\npleuritic effusion, or from a<br \/>\ncrucified person who had died <\/p>\n<p>345<br \/>\n00:19:57,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:00,100<br \/>\nupon the cross from rupture of<br \/>\nthe heart. <\/p>\n<p>346<br \/>\n00:20:00,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:03,300<br \/>\nIn other words, this is a very<br \/>\nrare condition. <\/p>\n<p>347<br \/>\n00:20:03,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:07,200<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s not going to happen.<br \/>\nExcept if you&#8217;re crucified and <\/p>\n<p>348<br \/>\n00:20:07,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:10,300<br \/>\nyour heart first and that&#8217;s what<br \/>\nJohn saw. <\/p>\n<p>349<br \/>\n00:20:11,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:13,600<br \/>\nWhich is really interesting.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a strong case. <\/p>\n<p>350<br \/>\n00:20:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:16,500<br \/>\nThat what he saw was something<br \/>\nthat actually happened. <\/p>\n<p>351<br \/>\n00:20:16,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:20,200<br \/>\nThat this is an eyewitness who<br \/>\nsaw a very novel circumstance <\/p>\n<p>352<br \/>\n00:20:20,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:23,500<br \/>\nthat he wrote down to.<br \/>\nThe next verse is him going, I <\/p>\n<p>353<br \/>\n00:20:23,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:27,500<br \/>\nactually do believe this and<br \/>\nthis is what I saw and he wrote <\/p>\n<p>354<br \/>\n00:20:27,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:32,000<br \/>\nit down and now we can look at<br \/>\nit and go, this is the only case<\/p>\n<p>355<br \/>\n00:20:32,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:37,300<br \/>\nwhere it would happen.<br \/>\nHe saw something amazing and it <\/p>\n<p>356<br \/>\n00:20:37,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:40,900<br \/>\nhappened and we can look at it<br \/>\nand say, this is an eyewitness. <\/p>\n<p>357<br \/>\n00:20:41,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:44,400<br \/>\nApproach that&#8217;s cool.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t prove it but it&#8217;s a <\/p>\n<p>358<br \/>\n00:20:44,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:46,700<br \/>\nvery strong Mark of internal<br \/>\nconsistency. <\/p>\n<p>359<br \/>\n00:20:46,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:49,600<br \/>\nThat these are eyewitnesses who<br \/>\nare watching what was happening <\/p>\n<p>360<br \/>\n00:20:49,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:54,000<br \/>\nand telling us, there&#8217;s another<br \/>\nvery strong point though and <\/p>\n<p>361<br \/>\n00:20:54,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:59,700<br \/>\nthat is the empty too.<br \/>\nThe quotes up on the screen are <\/p>\n<p>362<br \/>\n00:20:59,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:03,900<br \/>\nkind of long, but they basically<br \/>\nexplain what the Tomb of Jesus <\/p>\n<p>363<br \/>\n00:21:03,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:07,000<br \/>\nwas like.<br \/>\nIt had a large Stone in front of<\/p>\n<p>364<br \/>\n00:21:07,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:11,400<br \/>\nit and it was sealed by the<br \/>\nRomans and it had a garden front<\/p>\n<p>365<br \/>\n00:21:11,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:15,200<br \/>\nof it.<br \/>\nThis is all a time when the body<\/p>\n<p>366<br \/>\n00:21:15,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:19,000<br \/>\nwas assumed to be there.<br \/>\nBut then we read in the record <\/p>\n<p>367<br \/>\n00:21:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:21,800<br \/>\nthat the body was not found in<br \/>\nthis tomb. <\/p>\n<p>368<br \/>\n00:21:22,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:25,400<br \/>\nIn fact, the body was not found<br \/>\nanywhere. <\/p>\n<p>369<br \/>\n00:21:26,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:31,300<br \/>\nThis is an amazing thing.<br \/>\nUsually bodies don&#8217;t disappear <\/p>\n<p>370<br \/>\n00:21:31,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:34,400<br \/>\nin a criminal investigation.<br \/>\nIn fact, a large portion of time<\/p>\n<p>371<br \/>\n00:21:34,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:37,300<br \/>\nis spent looking for the body<br \/>\nbecause if you can&#8217;t find a <\/p>\n<p>372<br \/>\n00:21:37,308 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:40,500<br \/>\nbody, it&#8217;s hard to establish<br \/>\nwhether or not the person <\/p>\n<p>373<br \/>\n00:21:40,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:44,100<br \/>\nactually died.<br \/>\nAnd bodies don&#8217;t usually just <\/p>\n<p>374<br \/>\n00:21:44,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:46,900<br \/>\ndisappear.<br \/>\nBut that seems to have been the <\/p>\n<p>375<br \/>\n00:21:46,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:51,600<br \/>\ncase here, because even the very<br \/>\nenemies who did not believe that<\/p>\n<p>376<br \/>\n00:21:51,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:55,000<br \/>\nJesus was resurrected claimed<br \/>\nthat the body wasn&#8217;t there. <\/p>\n<p>377<br \/>\n00:21:55,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:58,700<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll notice in that quote,<br \/>\nwhen the chief priests had met <\/p>\n<p>378<br \/>\n00:21:59,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:02,400<br \/>\nwith the elders and devised a<br \/>\nplan, they gave the soldiers. <\/p>\n<p>379<br \/>\n00:22:02,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:04,600<br \/>\nThose are the ones who are<br \/>\nguarding the tomb, a large sum <\/p>\n<p>380<br \/>\n00:22:04,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:08,100<br \/>\nof my many telling them, you<br \/>\nalready say his disciples came <\/p>\n<p>381<br \/>\n00:22:08,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:11,200<br \/>\nduring the night and stole him<br \/>\naway while we were asleep. <\/p>\n<p>382<br \/>\n00:22:12,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:15,600<br \/>\nWhat that means is that the very<br \/>\npeople who did not believe in <\/p>\n<p>383<br \/>\n00:22:15,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:19,000<br \/>\nthe resurrection, could not<br \/>\nexplain where the body had gone,<\/p>\n<p>384<br \/>\n00:22:19,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:22,600<br \/>\nthey had to lie and say that the<br \/>\ndisciples had stolen the body. <\/p>\n<p>385<br \/>\n00:22:24,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:27,300<br \/>\nIn other words, there was nobody<br \/>\nthat they could find that is <\/p>\n<p>386<br \/>\n00:22:27,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:32,000<br \/>\nvery strong evidence that Jesus<br \/>\nwas resurrected from the dead <\/p>\n<p>387<br \/>\n00:22:32,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:35,700<br \/>\nbecause if he was resurrected,<br \/>\nthen there would be no dead body<\/p>\n<p>388<br \/>\n00:22:35,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:38,100<br \/>\nto find.<br \/>\nBut if he was not resurrected, <\/p>\n<p>389<br \/>\n00:22:38,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:40,200<br \/>\nthen you would expect to find a<br \/>\nbody somewhere. <\/p>\n<p>390<br \/>\n00:22:40,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:42,700<br \/>\nYou would not expect an empty<br \/>\ntoo. <\/p>\n<p>391<br \/>\n00:22:43,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:45,500<br \/>\nAnd you&#8217;ll notice that<br \/>\nthroughout the record <\/p>\n<p>392<br \/>\n00:22:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:49,600<br \/>\nafterwards, there is no<br \/>\nproduction of the body of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>393<br \/>\n00:22:49,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:54,900<br \/>\nThere was no attempt to say that<br \/>\nJesus actually was dead. <\/p>\n<p>394<br \/>\n00:22:55,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:59,200<br \/>\nWhen they&#8217;re persecuting the<br \/>\ndisciples afterwards, they put <\/p>\n<p>395<br \/>\n00:22:59,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:01,900<br \/>\nthem in jail.<br \/>\nThey get mad at them, but they <\/p>\n<p>396<br \/>\n00:23:01,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:03,800<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t say, here&#8217;s the body of<br \/>\nJesus. <\/p>\n<p>397<br \/>\n00:23:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:07,200<br \/>\nSee, he&#8217;s dead, he&#8217;s dead.<br \/>\nThey can&#8217;t do that because they <\/p>\n<p>398<br \/>\n00:23:07,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:09,700<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t have a body of Jesus to<br \/>\nproduce. <\/p>\n<p>399<br \/>\n00:23:10,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:12,600<br \/>\nThey had to say that.<br \/>\nThe disciples had stolen him <\/p>\n<p>400<br \/>\n00:23:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:14,500<br \/>\nbecause they couldn&#8217;t find this<br \/>\nbody. <\/p>\n<p>401<br \/>\n00:23:15,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:22,400<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s powerful.<br \/>\nFinally, the reason I&#8217;m saying <\/p>\n<p>402<br \/>\n00:23:22,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:25,200<br \/>\nthis today is because I am a<br \/>\nChristian. <\/p>\n<p>403<br \/>\n00:23:26,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:31,200<br \/>\nI am Christian in a religion<br \/>\nthat is based on Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n<p>404<br \/>\n00:23:32,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:36,200<br \/>\nAnd Christianity is currently a<br \/>\nreligion of 1.5 to 2 point 1 <\/p>\n<p>405<br \/>\n00:23:36,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:40,000<br \/>\nbillion people nowadays, that<br \/>\nmeans it had to come from <\/p>\n<p>406<br \/>\n00:23:40,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:43,800<br \/>\nsomewhere.<br \/>\nIn fact, it was established as <\/p>\n<p>407<br \/>\n00:23:43,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:49,100<br \/>\nthe official religion of the<br \/>\nRoman Empire 380 ad, And it <\/p>\n<p>408<br \/>\n00:23:49,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:53,400<br \/>\nemerged just about the time that<br \/>\nJesus was said to have died and <\/p>\n<p>409<br \/>\n00:23:53,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:23:57,300<br \/>\nbeen resurrected.<br \/>\nLarge religions, don&#8217;t come from<\/p>\n<p>410<br \/>\n00:23:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:00,100<br \/>\nnowhere and that&#8217;s a large Point<br \/>\nas well. <\/p>\n<p>411<br \/>\n00:24:00,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:05,500<br \/>\nAny explanation for this death<br \/>\nand resurrection of Jesus? <\/p>\n<p>412<br \/>\n00:24:05,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:09,800<br \/>\nAny explanation for why we have<br \/>\ndifferent Witnesses writing <\/p>\n<p>413<br \/>\n00:24:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:12,900<br \/>\naround the time period saying<br \/>\nthat this man was resurrected <\/p>\n<p>414<br \/>\n00:24:12,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:17,200<br \/>\nhas to also be able to explain<br \/>\nwhere Christianity came from. <\/p>\n<p>415<br \/>\n00:24:18,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:22,400<br \/>\nIf Jesus was not actually<br \/>\nresurrected, how did a religion <\/p>\n<p>416<br \/>\n00:24:22,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:25,200<br \/>\nget started about?<br \/>\nWhere did it come from? <\/p>\n<p>417<br \/>\n00:24:26,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:31,500<br \/>\nAnd another important point<br \/>\nRemember that body that body, <\/p>\n<p>418<br \/>\n00:24:31,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:36,100<br \/>\nthat, no one could find<br \/>\nChristians are not lacking in <\/p>\n<p>419<br \/>\n00:24:36,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:40,300<br \/>\nveneration of holy artifacts.<br \/>\nIf you go throughout Europe, you<\/p>\n<p>420<br \/>\n00:24:40,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:46,400<br \/>\nwill find lots of pieces of the<br \/>\nTrue Cross or pieces of nails <\/p>\n<p>421<br \/>\n00:24:46,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:50,400<br \/>\nfrom the cross or Allah, or<br \/>\nworship of statues. <\/p>\n<p>422<br \/>\n00:24:50,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:53,300<br \/>\nIf you go to the Holy Land,<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ll find out that this is <\/p>\n<p>423<br \/>\n00:24:53,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:57,300<br \/>\nwhere Jesus walked, and this is<br \/>\nwhere his tomb was etcetera, but<\/p>\n<p>424<br \/>\n00:24:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:01,300<br \/>\nthere is nowhere, where it&#8217;s<br \/>\nthis was where Jesus is buried. <\/p>\n<p>425<br \/>\n00:25:01,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:03,900<br \/>\nThere is no.<br \/>\nThis is where his body was. <\/p>\n<p>426<br \/>\n00:25:04,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:06,900<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a tomb that they&#8217;ll say,<br \/>\nthis is where he&#8217;s buried, but <\/p>\n<p>427<br \/>\n00:25:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:13,700<br \/>\nit&#8217;s an empty tomb in Jerusalem.<br \/>\nIf Jesus actually died and left <\/p>\n<p>428<br \/>\n00:25:13,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:17,100<br \/>\na body, you&#8217;d expect for all<br \/>\nthis big religion, based around <\/p>\n<p>429<br \/>\n00:25:17,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:19,500<br \/>\nhim to venerate it, and it&#8217;s not<br \/>\nthere. <\/p>\n<p>430<br \/>\n00:25:19,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:22,700<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no body of Jesus.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s venerated by Christians. <\/p>\n<p>431<br \/>\n00:25:23,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:25,700<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s unanimously.<br \/>\nTaught that he rose from the <\/p>\n<p>432<br \/>\n00:25:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:29,600<br \/>\ndead and there is nobody, that&#8217;s<br \/>\nstrong. <\/p>\n<p>433<br \/>\n00:25:29,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:32,100<br \/>\nThat means that we have this<br \/>\nlarge religion here. <\/p>\n<p>434<br \/>\n00:25:33,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:37,500<br \/>\nThat believes that someone rose<br \/>\nfrom the dead and has no <\/p>\n<p>435<br \/>\n00:25:37,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:41,200<br \/>\nevidence against it themselves.<br \/>\nOkay, that&#8217;s not so strange. <\/p>\n<p>436<br \/>\n00:25:42,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:44,600<br \/>\nBut we have to explain where<br \/>\nChristianity came from. <\/p>\n<p>437<br \/>\n00:25:45,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:47,500<br \/>\nSo, as a general conclusion to<br \/>\nthe first part of my lecture <\/p>\n<p>438<br \/>\n00:25:47,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:51,300<br \/>\ntonight, Christianity,<br \/>\ndefinitely exists, nowadays, <\/p>\n<p>439<br \/>\n00:25:51,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:55,800<br \/>\ndocuments from the time period<br \/>\nwhen it was formed say that it <\/p>\n<p>440<br \/>\n00:25:55,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:57,900<br \/>\nstarted with the resurrection of<br \/>\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n<p>441<br \/>\n00:25:58,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:01,700<br \/>\nChristianity cannot exist<br \/>\nwithout the resurrection of <\/p>\n<p>442<br \/>\n00:26:01,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:03,900<br \/>\nJesus Christ.<br \/>\nAnd in that Christianity, as a <\/p>\n<p>443<br \/>\n00:26:03,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:08,700<br \/>\nreligion is useless without it,<br \/>\nthe documents we have our <\/p>\n<p>444<br \/>\n00:26:08,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:11,300<br \/>\noriginal and internally<br \/>\nconsistent. <\/p>\n<p>445<br \/>\n00:26:12,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:16,100<br \/>\nAnd for all these things, I say<br \/>\nthat it is reasonable to assume <\/p>\n<p>446<br \/>\n00:26:16,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:19,900<br \/>\nthat if a man actually was<br \/>\nresurrected, it is reasonable to<\/p>\n<p>447<br \/>\n00:26:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:22,600<br \/>\nassume that documents of the<br \/>\ntime period would say he was <\/p>\n<p>448<br \/>\n00:26:22,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:26,100<br \/>\nresurrected, it is reasonable to<br \/>\nassume that those people who are<\/p>\n<p>449<br \/>\n00:26:26,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:29,000<br \/>\naffected by a miracle like that<br \/>\nwould go around and preach. <\/p>\n<p>450<br \/>\n00:26:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:32,400<br \/>\nIt is reasonable to assume that<br \/>\na man who claimed something as <\/p>\n<p>451<br \/>\n00:26:32,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:36,700<br \/>\nMiraculous as his own death and<br \/>\nResurrection, could convince <\/p>\n<p>452<br \/>\n00:26:36,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:40,600<br \/>\npeople to go and spread a<br \/>\nreligion in his name that seems <\/p>\n<p>453<br \/>\n00:26:40,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:43,800<br \/>\nreasonable to assume if he<br \/>\nactually was resurrected. <\/p>\n<p>454<br \/>\n00:26:46,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:48,400<br \/>\nBut that doesn&#8217;t mean other<br \/>\npeople haven&#8217;t come up with <\/p>\n<p>455<br \/>\n00:26:48,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:51,400<br \/>\nideas about how this could have<br \/>\nworked. <\/p>\n<p>456<br \/>\n00:26:51,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:53,000<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re going to cover four of<br \/>\nthem tonight. <\/p>\n<p>457<br \/>\n00:26:53,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:56,700<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re called the Swoon Theory.<br \/>\nThe Conspiracy Theory, the <\/p>\n<p>458<br \/>\n00:26:56,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:01,200<br \/>\nhallucination Theory and the<br \/>\nmyth Theory needs basically run <\/p>\n<p>459<br \/>\n00:27:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:05,900<br \/>\nfrom least plausible to most<br \/>\nplausible. <\/p>\n<p>460<br \/>\n00:27:07,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:09,200<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s start off with the<br \/>\nSwoon Theory. <\/p>\n<p>461<br \/>\n00:27:10,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:12,700<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s basic idea of the Swoon<br \/>\ntheory. <\/p>\n<p>462<br \/>\n00:27:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:16,500<br \/>\nIs that Jesus?<br \/>\nReally died on the cross. <\/p>\n<p>463<br \/>\n00:27:16,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:22,900<br \/>\nHe was knocked unconscious by in<br \/>\nsome way, came back to a state <\/p>\n<p>464<br \/>\n00:27:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:27,400<br \/>\nof consciousness inside the tomb<br \/>\nand that&#8217;s why everyone thought <\/p>\n<p>465<br \/>\n00:27:27,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:29,400<br \/>\nhe was resurrected.<br \/>\nHe didn&#8217;t actually die in the <\/p>\n<p>466<br \/>\n00:27:29,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:32,100<br \/>\nfirst place.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a lot of problems with <\/p>\n<p>467<br \/>\n00:27:32,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:37,200<br \/>\nthis Theory.<br \/>\nThe first one is that Jesus was <\/p>\n<p>468<br \/>\n00:27:37,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:39,800<br \/>\ncrucified.<br \/>\nCrucifixion, was designed to <\/p>\n<p>469<br \/>\n00:27:39,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:43,000<br \/>\nkill people, our documents from<br \/>\nthe time period. <\/p>\n<p>470<br \/>\n00:27:43,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:47,300<br \/>\nSay he was verified to be dead.<br \/>\nRomans usually knew what they <\/p>\n<p>471<br \/>\n00:27:47,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:49,900<br \/>\nwere doing when they were<br \/>\nplanted when they were executing<\/p>\n<p>472<br \/>\n00:27:49,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:53,900<br \/>\npeople.<br \/>\nSo it doesn&#8217;t seem likely that <\/p>\n<p>473<br \/>\n00:27:53,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:56,500<br \/>\nthey would have made a mistake<br \/>\nin this circumstance but say <\/p>\n<p>474<br \/>\n00:27:56,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:59,100<br \/>\nthey did.<br \/>\nWe also happen to know that this<\/p>\n<p>475<br \/>\n00:27:59,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:02,500<br \/>\ntomb that Jesus was in was<br \/>\nguarded and sealed and had a big<\/p>\n<p>476<br \/>\n00:28:02,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:06,900<br \/>\nStone in front of it.<br \/>\nSo this man who is has been <\/p>\n<p>477<br \/>\n00:28:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:11,000<br \/>\nbeaten and crucified somehow<br \/>\nsurvived that comes to <\/p>\n<p>478<br \/>\n00:28:11,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:14,300<br \/>\nunconsciousness in a tomb with a<br \/>\nlarge Stone. <\/p>\n<p>479<br \/>\n00:28:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:18,100<br \/>\nFront of it.<br \/>\nSurrounded by soldiers, this is <\/p>\n<p>480<br \/>\n00:28:18,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:21,700<br \/>\na problem as well.<br \/>\nBut say for instance he manages <\/p>\n<p>481<br \/>\n00:28:21,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:25,500<br \/>\nis in his weakened state to roll<br \/>\nthe stone out of the way break <\/p>\n<p>482<br \/>\n00:28:25,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:28,600<br \/>\nthrough the soldiers or who are<br \/>\naround and make it to his <\/p>\n<p>483<br \/>\n00:28:28,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:32,900<br \/>\ndisciples.<br \/>\nWe then have the problem that if<\/p>\n<p>484<br \/>\n00:28:32,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:36,600<br \/>\nJesus actually didn&#8217;t die, his<br \/>\ndisciples are liars. <\/p>\n<p>485<br \/>\n00:28:37,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:40,100<br \/>\nAnd in that case, he&#8217;s a liar as<br \/>\nwell. <\/p>\n<p>486<br \/>\n00:28:40,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:42,100<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;re not dealing with this<br \/>\none Theory at all. <\/p>\n<p>487<br \/>\n00:28:42,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:45,300<br \/>\nWhat we&#8217;re dealing with is a<br \/>\nconspiracy where&#8217;s disciples <\/p>\n<p>488<br \/>\n00:28:45,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:49,000<br \/>\nmade up the fact that he was<br \/>\nresurrected for their own <\/p>\n<p>489<br \/>\n00:28:49,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:54,500<br \/>\nbenefits because if Jesus wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\nactually resurrected and managed<\/p>\n<p>490<br \/>\n00:28:54,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:57,300<br \/>\nto survive this thing and came<br \/>\nto them, bloody and beaten, and <\/p>\n<p>491<br \/>\n00:28:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:59,900<br \/>\nbruised, and dehydrated, and<br \/>\nhalf dead. <\/p>\n<p>492<br \/>\n00:29:00,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:01,600<br \/>\nThey wouldn&#8217;t believe he was<br \/>\nresurrected. <\/p>\n<p>493<br \/>\n00:29:03,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:05,900<br \/>\nSo we&#8217;re dealing with the wrong<br \/>\nTheory here anyway, it&#8217;s not the<\/p>\n<p>494<br \/>\n00:29:05,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:09,600<br \/>\nSwoon Theory and you still have<br \/>\nto deal with the fact that if he<\/p>\n<p>495<br \/>\n00:29:09,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:12,600<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t actually get resurrected,<br \/>\nyou must have died at some point<\/p>\n<p>496<br \/>\n00:29:12,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:17,100<br \/>\nand where is that body.<br \/>\nBut we have the next period <\/p>\n<p>497<br \/>\n00:29:17,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:20,800<br \/>\nwhich is the conspiracy theory<br \/>\nthat the disciples made it all <\/p>\n<p>498<br \/>\n00:29:20,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:22,600<br \/>\nup.<br \/>\nThere was some sort of Passover <\/p>\n<p>499<br \/>\n00:29:22,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:26,500<br \/>\nplot where they decided to trick<br \/>\neveryone and say that Jesus <\/p>\n<p>500<br \/>\n00:29:26,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:30,400<br \/>\nactually was resurrected.<br \/>\nWhen he&#8217;d honestly died, maybe <\/p>\n<p>501<br \/>\n00:29:30,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:32,600<br \/>\nthey stole the body.<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t know what it was. <\/p>\n<p>502<br \/>\n00:29:32,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:38,000<br \/>\nApplied by the disciples.<br \/>\nThis one has some problems as <\/p>\n<p>503<br \/>\n00:29:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:41,900<br \/>\nwell.<br \/>\nFirst of all, why what is the <\/p>\n<p>504<br \/>\n00:29:41,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:45,600<br \/>\nmotive of these disciples to<br \/>\ntrick everyone with their <\/p>\n<p>505<br \/>\n00:29:45,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:50,100<br \/>\nPassover?<br \/>\nPlot, if Jesus actually was a <\/p>\n<p>506<br \/>\n00:29:50,108 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:52,200<br \/>\nliar and has risen from the<br \/>\ndead? <\/p>\n<p>507<br \/>\n00:29:53,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:55,800<br \/>\nWhy would they still believe in<br \/>\nhim? <\/p>\n<p>508<br \/>\n00:29:55,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:29:59,600<br \/>\nWhat is there to be gained from<br \/>\nhelping a dead man for <\/p>\n<p>509<br \/>\n00:29:59,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:02,100<br \/>\nglorifying?<br \/>\nThe name of someone who is dead <\/p>\n<p>510<br \/>\n00:30:02,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:06,100<br \/>\nand has Dude, everyone that he<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t save because he couldn&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>511<br \/>\n00:30:06,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:09,300<br \/>\nsave himself.<br \/>\nWe have the problem of <\/p>\n<p>512<br \/>\n00:30:09,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:13,000<br \/>\nmotivation that what did they<br \/>\nhave to gain from supporting <\/p>\n<p>513<br \/>\n00:30:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:15,600<br \/>\nsomeone?<br \/>\nThey knew was a dead horse. <\/p>\n<p>514<br \/>\n00:30:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:20,800<br \/>\nAlso, we have the problem that<br \/>\nwe have documents written by <\/p>\n<p>515<br \/>\n00:30:20,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:23,800<br \/>\nthese disciples and then these<br \/>\ndocuments, they say, they didn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>516<br \/>\n00:30:23,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:26,800<br \/>\nbelieve, they didn&#8217;t believe<br \/>\nthat he was going to rise from <\/p>\n<p>517<br \/>\n00:30:26,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:28,900<br \/>\nthe dead.<br \/>\nThey thought that he was dead. <\/p>\n<p>518<br \/>\n00:30:29,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:33,500<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s normal.<br \/>\nMy she would expect if they come<\/p>\n<p>519<br \/>\n00:30:33,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:38,600<br \/>\nup with this conspiracy to say<br \/>\nthat he wasn&#8217;t Dead when he was <\/p>\n<p>520<br \/>\n00:30:38,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:40,000<br \/>\ndead.<br \/>\nWhy wouldn&#8217;t they have made <\/p>\n<p>521<br \/>\n00:30:40,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:42,500<br \/>\nthemselves look a little bit<br \/>\nbetter rather than looking like <\/p>\n<p>522<br \/>\n00:30:42,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:45,700<br \/>\nfaithless idiots who didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nbelieve their own master? <\/p>\n<p>523<br \/>\n00:30:46,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:49,000<br \/>\nIf this is a conspiracy, they<br \/>\ncould have done a lot to making <\/p>\n<p>524<br \/>\n00:30:49,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:52,000<br \/>\nthemselves look better.<br \/>\nAs part of this conspiracy. <\/p>\n<p>525<br \/>\n00:30:52,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:30:58,800<br \/>\nThirdly, usually plots like this<br \/>\ncome out over the time when they<\/p>\n<p>526<br \/>\n00:30:58,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:01,700<br \/>\nwere persecuted when they were<br \/>\ngoing throughout the Roman <\/p>\n<p>527<br \/>\n00:31:01,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:03,400<br \/>\nEmpire trying to make these<br \/>\nconverts. <\/p>\n<p>528<br \/>\n00:31:04,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:07,700<br \/>\nWhy didn&#8217;t anyone defect, why<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t anyone get out there and <\/p>\n<p>529<br \/>\n00:31:07,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:10,700<br \/>\nreveal the plot?<br \/>\nThen finally when you have <\/p>\n<p>530<br \/>\n00:31:10,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:13,900<br \/>\nauthorities who are trying their<br \/>\nvery best to defeat this <\/p>\n<p>531<br \/>\n00:31:13,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:17,600<br \/>\nmovement, why didn&#8217;t they<br \/>\nmanaged to Figure this out, find<\/p>\n<p>532<br \/>\n00:31:17,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:21,000<br \/>\nout where the disables had<br \/>\nhidden the body and uncover it <\/p>\n<p>533<br \/>\n00:31:21,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:27,800<br \/>\nthis is not easy to understand.<br \/>\nThe conspiracy theory in my <\/p>\n<p>534<br \/>\n00:31:27,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:31,300<br \/>\nopinion requires more faith than<br \/>\nto believe that he was <\/p>\n<p>535<br \/>\n00:31:31,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:34,100<br \/>\nresurrected from the dead,<br \/>\nbecause it requires men to do <\/p>\n<p>536<br \/>\n00:31:34,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:39,500<br \/>\nthings that give them no benefit<br \/>\npull it off, absolutely <\/p>\n<p>537<br \/>\n00:31:39,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:43,300<br \/>\nperfectly and prevent<br \/>\nauthorities from finding it out <\/p>\n<p>538<br \/>\n00:31:43,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:46,500<br \/>\nas well.<br \/>\nYou need perfect actions by <\/p>\n<p>539<br \/>\n00:31:46,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:49,700<br \/>\npeople for no reason.<br \/>\nThat seems unlikely. <\/p>\n<p>540<br \/>\n00:31:50,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:53,200<br \/>\nThe next thing we have is the<br \/>\nhallucination Theory. <\/p>\n<p>541<br \/>\n00:31:54,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:58,400<br \/>\nNot that these disciples.<br \/>\nDeliberately tricked everyone, <\/p>\n<p>542<br \/>\n00:31:59,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:02,000<br \/>\nbut let&#8217;s avoid the whole motive<br \/>\nproblem and say they were <\/p>\n<p>543<br \/>\n00:32:02,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:04,700<br \/>\ntricked themselves.<br \/>\nThey believed Jesus was <\/p>\n<p>544<br \/>\n00:32:04,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:06,800<br \/>\nresurrected from the dead, and<br \/>\nthey did all these actions <\/p>\n<p>545<br \/>\n00:32:06,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:10,100<br \/>\nbecause they thought he was<br \/>\nresurrected and they just seen a<\/p>\n<p>546<br \/>\n00:32:10,108 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:12,400<br \/>\nbunch of hallucinations.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s been known to happen. <\/p>\n<p>547<br \/>\n00:32:12,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:14,600<br \/>\nWhen people go through<br \/>\nemotional, trying circumstances <\/p>\n<p>548<br \/>\n00:32:14,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:19,500<br \/>\ndeal with death, but this again<br \/>\nhas some problems. <\/p>\n<p>549<br \/>\n00:32:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:23,200<br \/>\nFirst of all that body, where&#8217;s<br \/>\nthe body? <\/p>\n<p>550<br \/>\n00:32:23,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:27,600<br \/>\nIf Jesus was not actually<br \/>\nResurrected, We still don&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>551<br \/>\n00:32:27,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:29,800<br \/>\nstill have the problem of, where<br \/>\ndid the body go? <\/p>\n<p>552<br \/>\n00:32:30,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:32,000<br \/>\nAnd if the disciples were<br \/>\ndeceived, they couldn&#8217;t have <\/p>\n<p>553<br \/>\n00:32:32,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:35,000<br \/>\nstolen the body.<br \/>\nSo where is the body? <\/p>\n<p>554<br \/>\n00:32:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:39,700<br \/>\nWhy do we have this empty tomb?<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t answer that question.<\/p>\n<p>555<br \/>\n00:32:40,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:44,000<br \/>\nSecondly, the idea that it could<br \/>\nhave been a Hallucination is not<\/p>\n<p>556<br \/>\n00:32:44,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:45,800<br \/>\nnew.<br \/>\nWe read in Luke 24 that they <\/p>\n<p>557<br \/>\n00:32:45,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:49,200<br \/>\nthought it was a hallucination<br \/>\nby their own testimony. <\/p>\n<p>558<br \/>\n00:32:49,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:51,500<br \/>\nWhen Jesus appeared to them,<br \/>\nthey thought they were <\/p>\n<p>559<br \/>\n00:32:51,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:53,500<br \/>\nhallucinating.<br \/>\nHe had to prove to them. <\/p>\n<p>560<br \/>\n00:32:53,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:58,700<br \/>\nThat he wasn&#8217;t a hallucination.<br \/>\nSo if it was a hallucination, <\/p>\n<p>561<br \/>\n00:32:58,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:01,200<br \/>\nthis was a mighty good<br \/>\nhallucination because it managed<\/p>\n<p>562<br \/>\n00:33:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:03,200<br \/>\nto prove to people who were<br \/>\nconvinced, it was a <\/p>\n<p>563<br \/>\n00:33:03,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:07,300<br \/>\nhallucination that it wasn&#8217;t in<br \/>\nthe way they say. <\/p>\n<p>564<br \/>\n00:33:07,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:10,900<br \/>\nHe proved it to them was by<br \/>\neating to the, in front of them,<\/p>\n<p>565<br \/>\n00:33:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:14,700<br \/>\ntalking to him.<br \/>\nAnd if I touching his wounds, we<\/p>\n<p>566<br \/>\n00:33:14,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:16,900<br \/>\nhave a mighty, fine<br \/>\nhallucination. <\/p>\n<p>567<br \/>\n00:33:17,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:23,000<br \/>\nIf people are able to<br \/>\nhallucinate all of that, As <\/p>\n<p>568<br \/>\n00:33:23,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:26,600<br \/>\nwell.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve got a hallucination that <\/p>\n<p>569<br \/>\n00:33:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:30,300<br \/>\nnot only manages to prove<br \/>\nitself, not to be hallucination,<\/p>\n<p>570<br \/>\n00:33:30,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:34,000<br \/>\nbut also manages to hang around<br \/>\nfor exactly 40 days. <\/p>\n<p>571<br \/>\n00:33:34,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:38,700<br \/>\nSo repeated hallucination.<br \/>\nAnd then stop appearing after <\/p>\n<p>572<br \/>\n00:33:38,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:41,400<br \/>\nthose 40 days after they have<br \/>\nthis magnificent hallucination <\/p>\n<p>573<br \/>\n00:33:41,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:45,300<br \/>\nof it going up into heaven.<br \/>\nAs far as the hallucination <\/p>\n<p>574<br \/>\n00:33:45,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:48,400<br \/>\nTheory goes, we require<br \/>\nmiraculous hallucination for <\/p>\n<p>575<br \/>\n00:33:48,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:52,600<br \/>\nthis to happen and our burden of<br \/>\nproof already was that, we want <\/p>\n<p>576<br \/>\n00:33:52,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:56,900<br \/>\nsomething that seems less<br \/>\nmiraculous, not more, miraculous<\/p>\n<p>577<br \/>\n00:33:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:59,400<br \/>\nto believe in the hallucination<br \/>\nTheory, you need to believe in a<\/p>\n<p>578<br \/>\n00:33:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:01,900<br \/>\ngreater Miracle than Jesus<br \/>\nrising from the dead. <\/p>\n<p>579<br \/>\n00:34:03,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:06,400<br \/>\nNow, the final Theory going to<br \/>\nlook at is the myth Theory. <\/p>\n<p>580<br \/>\n00:34:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:10,800<br \/>\nThe myth theory is the one<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ll find most often in. <\/p>\n<p>581<br \/>\n00:34:10,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:13,199<br \/>\nScholarly works the idea of<br \/>\nthat. <\/p>\n<p>582<br \/>\n00:34:13,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:18,400<br \/>\nThese documents were written as<br \/>\na myth and we can compare them <\/p>\n<p>583<br \/>\n00:34:18,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:21,199<br \/>\nwith other myths.<br \/>\nSuch as myths about officer <\/p>\n<p>584<br \/>\n00:34:21,199 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:27,500<br \/>\narrests or about certain Roman,<br \/>\nCatholic saints and say, those <\/p>\n<p>585<br \/>\n00:34:27,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:31,400<br \/>\nare obviously lousy Tails<br \/>\ninvented by people to pump up. <\/p>\n<p>586<br \/>\n00:34:31,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:35,000<br \/>\nSomeone they thought was<br \/>\nimportant and the gospels, the <\/p>\n<p>587<br \/>\n00:34:35,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:38,100<br \/>\nwhole new testament in fact is<br \/>\njust the same way, it&#8217;s a myth <\/p>\n<p>588<br \/>\n00:34:38,199 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:42,500<br \/>\nthat people came up with that<br \/>\nwas produced over time and it <\/p>\n<p>589<br \/>\n00:34:42,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:47,500<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t really happen.<br \/>\nProblem with that is, as far as <\/p>\n<p>590<br \/>\n00:34:47,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:52,100<br \/>\nmisko, the New Testament is a<br \/>\npretty lousy myth. <\/p>\n<p>591<br \/>\n00:34:52,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:56,800<br \/>\nFirst of all, it was written<br \/>\nwithin 40 Years of the events <\/p>\n<p>592<br \/>\n00:34:56,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:59,100<br \/>\nhappening.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s hard to create myths, quite<\/p>\n<p>593<br \/>\n00:34:59,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:02,800<br \/>\nthat fast.<br \/>\nThe reason for that is, let&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>594<br \/>\n00:35:02,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:06,400<br \/>\ntake an example of someone who<br \/>\njust recently died, say Ronald <\/p>\n<p>595<br \/>\n00:35:06,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:11,000<br \/>\nReagan, there are people still<br \/>\nalive who knew Ronald Reagan, if<\/p>\n<p>596<br \/>\n00:35:11,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:14,400<br \/>\nI wrote a biography of Ronald<br \/>\nReagan in which I said that <\/p>\n<p>597<br \/>\n00:35:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:19,700<br \/>\nevery morning he would he would<br \/>\nstrap Wings on his back and fly <\/p>\n<p>598<br \/>\n00:35:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:24,300<br \/>\nup in the sky in the area.<br \/>\nAnd then come back down, I might<\/p>\n<p>599<br \/>\n00:35:24,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:27,200<br \/>\nsell a few copies of my<br \/>\nbiography but anyone who knew <\/p>\n<p>600<br \/>\n00:35:27,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:30,200<br \/>\nRonald Reagan would know that he<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t actually do that and they<\/p>\n<p>601<br \/>\n00:35:30,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:32,500<br \/>\nwould say that Biography was a<br \/>\npack of Lies. <\/p>\n<p>602<br \/>\n00:35:34,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:36,500<br \/>\nIt probably wouldn&#8217;t get<br \/>\npreserved because people would <\/p>\n<p>603<br \/>\n00:35:36,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:40,100<br \/>\nconsider it a pack of lies, and<br \/>\nwe wouldn&#8217;t have 24,000 <\/p>\n<p>604<br \/>\n00:35:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:43,700<br \/>\nmanuscripts of it to look at.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the problem we have with <\/p>\n<p>605<br \/>\n00:35:43,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:45,900<br \/>\nconsidering in a myth, it&#8217;s too<br \/>\nsoon. <\/p>\n<p>606<br \/>\n00:35:46,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:50,500<br \/>\nMitch develop over time after<br \/>\npeople can&#8217;t really say, whether<\/p>\n<p>607<br \/>\n00:35:50,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:52,900<br \/>\nsomething was true or not, not<br \/>\nduring the time, when we still <\/p>\n<p>608<br \/>\n00:35:52,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:57,300<br \/>\nhave eye witnesses as well.<br \/>\nYou have the problem of myths, <\/p>\n<p>609<br \/>\n00:35:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:00,500<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t develop out of nothing.<br \/>\nYou need to have some solid <\/p>\n<p>610<br \/>\n00:36:00,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:02,300<br \/>\nfact.<br \/>\nAnd who was this? <\/p>\n<p>611<br \/>\n00:36:02,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:05,900<br \/>\nReal non mythical?<br \/>\nJesus then Who the myth was <\/p>\n<p>612<br \/>\n00:36:05,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:09,500<br \/>\nbased around because of Jesus.<br \/>\nWe have claimed that he was <\/p>\n<p>613<br \/>\n00:36:09,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:12,000<br \/>\nrisen from the dead and the<br \/>\ndisciples. <\/p>\n<p>614<br \/>\n00:36:12,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:14,900<br \/>\nWe have writing afterwards, say<br \/>\nthat he rose from the dead. <\/p>\n<p>615<br \/>\n00:36:15,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:19,600<br \/>\nAnd if there was actually a real<br \/>\nJesus who didn&#8217;t really rise <\/p>\n<p>616<br \/>\n00:36:19,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:21,800<br \/>\nfrom the dead, and he got made<br \/>\nup afterwards. <\/p>\n<p>617<br \/>\n00:36:22,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:25,400<br \/>\nWe have to figure out who he<br \/>\nactually was and so far. <\/p>\n<p>618<br \/>\n00:36:25,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:27,400<br \/>\nHe seems like a liar and a<br \/>\ncheat. <\/p>\n<p>619<br \/>\n00:36:27,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:30,800<br \/>\nBecause he said things that<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t actually happen. <\/p>\n<p>620<br \/>\n00:36:33,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:36,800<br \/>\nAh, ah, ah, So the same argument<br \/>\ncan be applied to the New <\/p>\n<p>621<br \/>\n00:36:36,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:40,300<br \/>\nTestament as a whole in second<br \/>\nPeter 1 in 16. <\/p>\n<p>622<br \/>\n00:36:40,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:43,200<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s claimed, I&#8217;ll read that for<br \/>\nyou. <\/p>\n<p>623<br \/>\n00:36:43,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:46,800<br \/>\nWe did not follow cleverly<br \/>\ninvented stories when we told <\/p>\n<p>624<br \/>\n00:36:46,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:49,200<br \/>\nyou about the power and coming<br \/>\nof our Lord, Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n<p>625<br \/>\n00:36:49,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:51,500<br \/>\nBut we were eyewitnesses of his<br \/>\nmajesty. <\/p>\n<p>626<br \/>\n00:36:52,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:55,600<br \/>\nObviously people at the time had<br \/>\ncome up with these same theories<\/p>\n<p>627<br \/>\n00:36:55,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:36:58,700<br \/>\nand we&#8217;re throwing them at them.<br \/>\nAnd in the New Testament, we <\/p>\n<p>628<br \/>\n00:36:58,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:03,100<br \/>\nfind offenses that these were<br \/>\nnot cleverly invented, stories <\/p>\n<p>629<br \/>\n00:37:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:08,700<br \/>\nsounds a lot like a myth to me<br \/>\nthat did come up with to try and<\/p>\n<p>630<br \/>\n00:37:08,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:14,300<br \/>\nmake up this wonderful savior.<br \/>\nIf they say something like that,<\/p>\n<p>631<br \/>\n00:37:14,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:17,700<br \/>\nit leaves to conclusions either<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re telling the truth or <\/p>\n<p>632<br \/>\n00:37:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:20,400<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re lying.<br \/>\nIf they&#8217;re lying, we&#8217;re back to <\/p>\n<p>633<br \/>\n00:37:20,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:23,800<br \/>\nthe conspiracy theory and if<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re telling the truth, then <\/p>\n<p>634<br \/>\n00:37:23,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:33,400<br \/>\nJesus was resurrected. so, now<br \/>\nthat we&#8217;ve gone through No, and <\/p>\n<p>635<br \/>\n00:37:33,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:34,900<br \/>\nhere&#8217;s something else, that&#8217;s<br \/>\ninteresting. <\/p>\n<p>636<br \/>\n00:37:36,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:38,700<br \/>\nThe gospels, don&#8217;t read like<br \/>\nmyths. <\/p>\n<p>637<br \/>\n00:37:38,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:40,500<br \/>\nThey read like eyewitness<br \/>\naccounts. <\/p>\n<p>638<br \/>\n00:37:40,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:44,800<br \/>\nWe have up there.<br \/>\nA comparison for you between the<\/p>\n<p>639<br \/>\n00:37:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:49,200<br \/>\ngospel of Peter and the Gospel<br \/>\nof John, the gospel of Peter. <\/p>\n<p>640<br \/>\n00:37:49,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:51,300<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s largely viewed to be a<br \/>\nmyth. <\/p>\n<p>641<br \/>\n00:37:51,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:55,200<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t have many manuscripts<br \/>\nof that because it was widely <\/p>\n<p>642<br \/>\n00:37:55,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:58,100<br \/>\nreputed in its own time to be a<br \/>\nforgery. <\/p>\n<p>643<br \/>\n00:37:58,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:01,100<br \/>\nBut really, it&#8217;s kind of<br \/>\ninteresting. <\/p>\n<p>644<br \/>\n00:38:02,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:04,600<br \/>\nSo, let&#8217;s see what it says.<br \/>\nIt says that. <\/p>\n<p>645<br \/>\n00:38:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:09,000<br \/>\nOkay, this is talking about when<br \/>\nJesus was resurrected again, <\/p>\n<p>646<br \/>\n00:38:09,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:11,500<br \/>\nthey see three men.<br \/>\nCome forth from the tomb and two<\/p>\n<p>647<br \/>\n00:38:11,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:14,600<br \/>\nof them supporting one and<br \/>\nacross following them, and of <\/p>\n<p>648<br \/>\n00:38:14,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:17,700<br \/>\nthe, to the Head reached under<br \/>\nthe heaven, but the head of him <\/p>\n<p>649<br \/>\n00:38:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:20,900<br \/>\nwho was led by them over past<br \/>\nthe heavens, and they heard a <\/p>\n<p>650<br \/>\n00:38:20,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:23,400<br \/>\nvoice from the heavens saying<br \/>\nthat was preached to them. <\/p>\n<p>651<br \/>\n00:38:23,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:26,100<br \/>\nThat sleep in a response was<br \/>\nheard from the cross. <\/p>\n<p>652<br \/>\n00:38:26,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:29,500<br \/>\nYay.<br \/>\nSo in this manner, It, we have <\/p>\n<p>653<br \/>\n00:38:29,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:33,400<br \/>\npeople with hugely<br \/>\nover-exaggerated Dimensions <\/p>\n<p>654<br \/>\n00:38:33,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:37,600<br \/>\nsince their heads, our way up<br \/>\nthere and we have this gigantic <\/p>\n<p>655<br \/>\n00:38:37,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:44,600<br \/>\ntalking cross in the Gospel of<br \/>\nJohn, we have, this is the same <\/p>\n<p>656<br \/>\n00:38:44,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:48,100<br \/>\npath as you saw earlier.<br \/>\nWith another verse attached, we <\/p>\n<p>657<br \/>\n00:38:48,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:51,900<br \/>\nhave a description of something,<br \/>\nhe clearly considers miraculous <\/p>\n<p>658<br \/>\n00:38:52,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:57,100<br \/>\nand annexed, but which we can<br \/>\nfind out not to be miraculous <\/p>\n<p>659<br \/>\n00:38:57,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:59,400<br \/>\ninstead of description of the<br \/>\nvarious This epic event. <\/p>\n<p>660<br \/>\n00:39:00,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:05,100<br \/>\nAnd we have someone going<br \/>\nclaiming eyewitness testimony <\/p>\n<p>661<br \/>\n00:39:05,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:06,900<br \/>\nthe man who saw it has given<br \/>\ntestimony. <\/p>\n<p>662<br \/>\n00:39:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:09,700<br \/>\nIn his testimony is true.<br \/>\nHe knows that he tells the truth<\/p>\n<p>663<br \/>\n00:39:09,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:14,100<br \/>\nand he testifies so that you may<br \/>\nalso believe the gospels don&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>664<br \/>\n00:39:14,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:17,300<br \/>\nread like Miss and I invite you<br \/>\nto read submits and compare the <\/p>\n<p>665<br \/>\n00:39:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:20,100<br \/>\ngospels to them and see if<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re the same sort of thing, <\/p>\n<p>666<br \/>\n00:39:20,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:24,200<br \/>\nbecause they aren&#8217;t verify me on<br \/>\nit. <\/p>\n<p>667<br \/>\n00:39:24,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:26,600<br \/>\nIf you want.<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t read, like, men their<\/p>\n<p>668<br \/>\n00:39:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:28,400<br \/>\nwit.<br \/>\nThey are written, like <\/p>\n<p>669<br \/>\n00:39:28,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:31,700<br \/>\neyewitness accounts.<br \/>\nSo, let&#8217;s take a look at what <\/p>\n<p>670<br \/>\n00:39:31,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:33,300<br \/>\nconclusions we can make from<br \/>\nthis. <\/p>\n<p>671<br \/>\n00:39:34,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:38,000<br \/>\nI believe I have demonstrated<br \/>\nthat the resurrection of Jesus <\/p>\n<p>672<br \/>\n00:39:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:40,800<br \/>\nChrist is a reasonable<br \/>\nexplanation of the facts. <\/p>\n<p>673<br \/>\n00:39:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:44,300<br \/>\nIf a man, honestly, was<br \/>\nresurrected from the day, we <\/p>\n<p>674<br \/>\n00:39:44,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:48,900<br \/>\nhave a good explanation for why<br \/>\nwe have the existence of <\/p>\n<p>675<br \/>\n00:39:48,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:51,200<br \/>\nChristianity.<br \/>\nAs a religion, we have a good <\/p>\n<p>676<br \/>\n00:39:51,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:54,000<br \/>\nexplanation for why we have all<br \/>\nthese accounts. <\/p>\n<p>677<br \/>\n00:39:54,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:57,200<br \/>\nAll these documents claiming<br \/>\nthat he rose from the dead, it <\/p>\n<p>678<br \/>\n00:39:57,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:00,200<br \/>\nmakes sense.<br \/>\nIf a man actually was, were <\/p>\n<p>679<br \/>\n00:40:01,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:04,000<br \/>\nactually did get resurrected<br \/>\nfrom the dead. <\/p>\n<p>680<br \/>\n00:40:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:08,800<br \/>\nI also claimed that these other<br \/>\nexplanations that we&#8217;ve looked <\/p>\n<p>681<br \/>\n00:40:08,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:12,100<br \/>\nat at are not reasonable<br \/>\nexplanations that they require <\/p>\n<p>682<br \/>\n00:40:12,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:14,600<br \/>\nyou to believe in a greater<br \/>\nMiracle than that. <\/p>\n<p>683<br \/>\n00:40:14,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:19,900<br \/>\nJesus actually was resurrected<br \/>\nfrom the dead and So based on <\/p>\n<p>684<br \/>\n00:40:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:25,700<br \/>\nthese two conclusions, I derive<br \/>\na third conclusion and that <\/p>\n<p>685<br \/>\n00:40:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:32,800<br \/>\nconclusion, is that if Jesus did<br \/>\nrise from the dead, then we have<\/p>\n<p>686<br \/>\n00:40:32,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:37,100<br \/>\nto believe what else you said.<br \/>\nAnd the other thing that he said<\/p>\n<p>687<br \/>\n00:40:37,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:41,300<br \/>\nis that he&#8217;s going to come back.<br \/>\nWhen he comes back, we need to <\/p>\n<p>688<br \/>\n00:40:41,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:45,200<br \/>\nbe ready for it and acts 17 and<br \/>\nverse 31. <\/p>\n<p>689<br \/>\n00:40:45,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:49,000<br \/>\nIt says, for God has set a day<br \/>\nwhen he will judge the world <\/p>\n<p>690<br \/>\n00:40:49,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:51,300<br \/>\nwith Justice.<br \/>\nBy the man, he is appointed. <\/p>\n<p>691<br \/>\n00:40:51,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:54,200<br \/>\nHe has given proof The best<br \/>\nalmond by raising him from the <\/p>\n<p>692<br \/>\n00:40:54,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:56,900<br \/>\ndead.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not my subject night, but <\/p>\n<p>693<br \/>\n00:40:56,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:01,100<br \/>\nif Jesus was resurrected from<br \/>\nthe dead, it doesn&#8217;t just mean <\/p>\n<p>694<br \/>\n00:41:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:03,400<br \/>\nthat a man was resurrected from<br \/>\nthe dead and that&#8217;s amazing. <\/p>\n<p>695<br \/>\n00:41:04,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:08,300<br \/>\nIt means that the other things<br \/>\nhe said were true as well <\/p>\n<p>696<br \/>\n00:41:08,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:11,400<br \/>\nbecause him being resurrected<br \/>\nfrom the dead was the proof that<\/p>\n<p>697<br \/>\n00:41:11,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:17,000<br \/>\nwas given for him for the other<br \/>\nthings that he said and he said <\/p>\n<p>698<br \/>\n00:41:17,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:20,200<br \/>\nthat he is going to come back<br \/>\nand judge the world and we need <\/p>\n<p>699<br \/>\n00:41:20,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:23,700<br \/>\nto be ready for that.<br \/>\nAnd so tonight, I hope I&#8217;ve <\/p>\n<p>700<br \/>\n00:41:23,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:27,300<br \/>\ndemonstrated to you that we can<br \/>\nbelieve beyond all reasonable <\/p>\n<p>701<br \/>\n00:41:27,300 &#8211;&gt;

00:41:36,100<br \/>\nknowledge but that it&#8217;s vitally<br \/>\nimportant because of Jesus <\/p>\n<p>704<br \/>\n00:41:36,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:41:40,800<br \/>\nChrist did rise from the dead.<br \/>\nThen it requires action on our <\/p>\n<p>705<br \/>\n00:41:40,800 &#8211;&gt;
