0:00 – INTRO
0:55 – The Historical Jesus by Gary Habermas
1:11 – WHY IS THE RESURRECTION SO IMPORTANT? THE CENTRAL EVENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. (1) PROVES THAT JESUS IS GOD. (2) PROVES THE FATHER ACCEPTED JESUS’ SACRIFICIAL DEATH ON THE CROSS. (3) PROVES THAT ALL CHRISTIANS WILL BE RESURRECTED. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:14
2:09 – ANY PROOF? 1) 12 HISTORICAL FACTS NEARLY ALL SCHOLARSHIP AGREES ON, 2) EARLY CHRISTIAN CREEDS. CREEDS ARE STATEMENTS OF SHARED BELIEF. DATE 3-20 YEARS AFTER THE RESURRECTION. THEY PROVE THE RESURRECTION OCCURRED.
3:43 – HOW DO THE CREEDS WORK? SHARED VERBALLY, LATER WRITTEN DOWN. EARLIEST CHRISTIAN CREED IS 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-8 (3-8 YEARS AFTER THE RESURRECTION).
6:26 – ESSENTIAL FACTS OF CHRISTIANITY WERE COMMON KNOWLEDGE
CREEDS PROVE LEGENDS COULD NOT DEVELOP!
7:27 – MORE THAN 20 CREEDS IN 9 NT BOOKS (LUKE 24:34; ROMANS 10:9; 1 PETER 3:18; 1 JOHN 4:2). Binmin blog: “Early Christian Creeds: 8 Points Proving the Resurrection”
9:16 – SO WHAT? CREEDS PROVE JESUS’ RESURRECTION. ONLY ENCOUNTERING A RESURRECTED JESUS EXPLAINS THE DISCIPLES’ TRANSFORMATION.
10:38 – WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? READ THE CREED: 1 CORINTHIANS 15
11:23 – THANK YOU & WRAP UP
