EASTER MYTHS & MISCHIEF: 12 Facts That Point To Jesus’ Literal Resurrection
Easter Sunday is two weeks away and it’s all about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But did the resurrection actually happen? Skeptics offer a variety of theories and speculations in defense of their conclusion that the resurrection is a myth.
But hard facts can only be ignored for so long. Erik Manning of Is Jesus Alive? looks in the following video at 12 of those hard facts that point to the literal resurrection as just as much an historical event as the claim Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and Hannibal was the victorious general in 216 BC at the Battle of Cannae over the Roman Republic.
And for those who are particularly interested in a specific fact, check out the menu with the time at which the fact is dealt with by Manning. Convenient, no?
