Response to IS THERE PROOF THAT JESUS RESSURECTED?

You mean other than written testimony by eyewitnesses, and written descriptions of more than 500 additional eye witnesses? That would be proof enough to stand up in any court of law.

Dear Punker,

Paul M. is referring to a passage in the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 15, the first few verses. In it the Apostle Paul reminds them that, after the resurrection, the living Jesus Christ was seen by Peter (Cephas), James, the Twelve, and 500 Christians at once. And most of those witnesses were still living, so if the people at Corinth needed proof, they could ask those witnesses.

That is pretty impressive evidence, especially when you consider that most of those witnesses ended up being killed for being Christians-- but they had seen the Risen Lord, and so were not afraid of being persecuted or even martyred by the Roman pagans.

Christ is alive.
