"Did Jesus really rise from the dead?" The Resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate evidence that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and the Savior of all God's creation. However, several people have different debates. There are several theories over the topic, “Did Jesus really rise from the dead?” Some of these concepts include; Did Jesus really die on the cross? Was He really raised from the dead? How was His body buried? Whatever the claims may be; a person’s faith is what really matters. “And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead….And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sin”. (1 Corinthians 15:14-17). Resurrection is the foundation of Christianity. The bible has facts of historical evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. “If Christ was not raised we are false witnesses” 1 (Cor. 15:15). The one that argues such facts from the bible must have strong evidence. The facts argued against Jesus’ Resurrection has many different views, and meanings. “The Case For the Resurrection” is considered to have the best support against the historical resurrection. (Taylor, J) “The Case For the Resurrection” is argued by two men whom have strong argumentations that can be thought-provoking for an individual’s faith. Gary R. Habermas and William L. Craig give two of the strongest apologetics for the defense of the resurrection. (Taylor, J) Dr. Habermas is a Distinguished Professor of philosophy and apologetics at Liberty University. Dr. Craig is a Visiting Scholar at Talbot School of Theology. Dr. Gary Habermas also has a short debate with Tim Callahan, who is religion editor of Skeptic magazine and author of Secret Origins of the Bible.
