Is Jesus God?

Is the Bible the Word of God? Our Apologetic Is the Bible the Word of God? Is Jesus God? Does God Exist? Does Truth Exist?

What have you heard?

Did Jesus even exist? Bart Ehrman Attended Moody Bible School Current Professor of Religion at University of North Carolina Expert of Early Christian history and writings Not a Christian- Agnostic Award from Freedom from Religion Foundation

Why does it matter? I Corinthians 15 Is the most important passage about the resurrection in apologetics. It is an early creed dating to less than 10 years after the resurrection It shows that the resurrection makes Christianity falsifiable. It shows multiple eyewitness

These facts are accepted by an overwhelming majority of Scholars Four Facts + One These facts are accepted by an overwhelming majority of Scholars

Fact 1: Jesus died by crucifixion Sources Josephus (Jewish and Roman Historian) Tacitus (Roman Senator and Historian) Lucian (Satirist and Rhetorician) Mara Bar-Sarepion (Roman Stoic Philosopher) Jewish Talmud (Jewish Commentary on Old Testament) All four Gospels

Fact 2: Jesus followers believed he rose from the dead Paul They Believed it Oral Tradition Willingness to suffer (not die necessarily) Creeds Sermon Summaries Acts Written Tradition Clement of Rome (Pope/Bishop of Rome) Gospels Ignatius (Church father) Apostolic Fathers Dionysius of Corinth (Church Father/Bishop) Clement Polycarp (Bishop of Smyrna) Tertullian (Church Father from Carthage) Origen (Church father from Alexandria)

Fact 3: Paul changed his mind Conversion Suffering and Martyrdom Paul Acts Luke Early Christians (Galatians) Clement of Rome Polycarp Tertullian Dionysius of Corinth Origen

Fact 4: James changed his mind Conversion Martyrdom (Before) he didn’t believe Josephus Early creeds: report Jesus appeared to James. Hegesippus/Jerome (Chronicler/Apologist) (After) Paul and Acts Clement of Alexandria (Church Father)

Bonus fact (Fact 5): the tomb was empty Jerusalem Factor Enemy Attested Testimony of Women

Influence of Martyrs Is it important enough to die for? I may believe that chocolate ice cream is the best ice cream but I am not willing to die for it Jesus being God would be important enough to die for Are you an eyewitness to the event? I may believe that Jesus is God but I could just be wrong because I am not an eyewitness to the event This separates the early disciples from current day martyrs This separates the early disciples from early followers of Islam or Mormonism

What are other explanations? Swoon Theory Stolen Body Disciples Someone else Hallucination theory Replacement theory

Guess who? Isaiah 53 describes Jesus perfectly despite being at least 130 years older Jesus Who was Jesus?
