    Proving Jesus Arose From The Dead

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 20, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,668 views

    Christianity is based and grounded in the Resurrection of Jesus, the promised Messiah of Israel. Every Born-Again Christian should be able to defend this foundational truth.

    Christianity proclaims that Jesus rose from the dead and hangs its entire existence on that fact. Yet, there is no practical certainty of it because actual eyewitnesses cannot be questioned due to them being dead! However, a logical case can be made on the certainty of historical evidence. The ...read more

A neutral country is defined as a state which does not take sides of belligerents (warring parties) in a specific war or future conflicts. Such states refuse to even enter into ...read more
