  1. What is the Claim Support for Your Belief System?

  2. Claim#1:  "The Problem Is Deadness, Not Badness"

  3. Claim#1: "The Problem is Deadness, not Badness" “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. John 5:24-26 (NKJV)

  4. Claim#1: "The Problem is Deadness, not Badness" And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, In which you once walked... we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind... But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us... Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. Ephesians 2:1-5 (NKJV)

  5. A Bad Heart is Really a Dying Heart And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, In which you once walked... we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind... Ephesians 2:1,3

  6. Claim Support: Symptoms of Spiritual Death …being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful. Romans 1:29-30 (NKJV)

  7. Claim Support: Symptoms of Physical Death 1 out of 1 people die!

  8. Claim #2: He Can Conquer Death Physically

  9. Claim #2: He Can Conquer Death Physically And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up -- if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 1 Corinthians 15:14-19 (NKJV)

  10. Claim #2: He Can Conquer Death Spiritually

  11. Claim #2: He Can Conquer Death Spiritually But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions -- it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ … Ephesians 2:4-6 (NKJV)

  12. Claim Support: Jesus Conquered Death Physically • Historical Witnesses • Cosmological Witnesses • Transformed Witnesses

  13. Historical Witnesses Latin: “Dis Augustis Tiberiem… Pontius Pilatus… Praefectus Judaeae… Fecit dedicavit…” English: “To the honorable gods (this) Tiberium Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea, had dedicated…” Found in 1961 by Italian Archaeologist Dr. Antonio Frova Approximate Origin Date: 26-37 AD

  14. "About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he wrought surprising feats. When Pilate condemned him to be crucified, those who had come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared restored to life, and the tribe of Christians has not disappeared." Jewish Historian Josephus 37-100 A.D.

  15. “A wise man called Jesus… Pilate condemned Him to die… (His disciples) reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion.” Roman Historian Tacitus 109 A.D.

  16. Cosmological Witnesses Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land…And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split… Matthew 27:45-46, 50-51 (NKJV)

  17. Solar Eclipse? Greek author Phlegon wrote about the darkness that occurred in the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad (equivalent to 33 AD): "There was the greatest eclipse of the sun. It became as night in the sixth hour of the day (noon) so that the stars even appeared in the heavens. There was a great earthquake in Bithynia and many things were overturned in Nicaea."

  18. Solar Eclipse? In A.D. 52, Historian Thallus “when discussing the darkness which fell upon the land during the crucifixion of Christ,” spoke of it as an eclipse. Julius Africanus in A.D. 221 gives a commentary: "Thallus in the third book of his histories explains away the darkness as an eclipse of the sun – unreasonable as it seems to me."

  19. Jewish Talmud says “on the eve of Passover they hanged Yeshu (of Nazareth)…” Passover is always celebrated on the month of Nisan when the full moon begins.

  20. Transformed Witnesses Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb… But the angel answered… “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. Matthew 28:1-7 (NKJV)

  21. The Da Vinci Code Pg. 232-3 says: "...in 350, Constantine shifted (the Christian Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday) to coincide with the pagan veneration Day of the Sun." Gospels Letters 30 60 90 120 150 200 300 350

  22. In 137 A.D., Roman writer Phlegon said:“Jesus, while alive, was of no assistance to himself, but that he arose after death, and exhibited the marks of his punishment and showed how his hands had been pierced by nails.” Gospels Letters 30 60 90 120 150 200 300 350

  23. The Epistle of Barnabus: 100 A.D. Wherefore we Christians keep the eighth day for joy, on which Jesus arose from the dead and when he appeared ascended into heaven. Gospels Letters 30 60 90 120 150 200 300 350

  24. "I have been used for many years to study the histories of other times, and to examine and weigh the evidence of those who have written about them, and I know of no one fact in the history of mankind which is proved by better and fuller evidence of every sort, to the understanding of a fair inquirer, than the great sign which God hath given us that Christ died and rose again from the dead." Thomas Arnold - Author, History of Rome Chair of Modern History at Oxford
