If you and I meet in the Longworth Cafeteria and begin talking, what would happen if one of us claimed to be God Incarnate? The other would quite possibly call for those nice men in white with nets, right?
But what if the one of us claiming deity did something so miraculous that only God could do it? Would the nice men in white with nets be told to return to their offices?
In the following video (Part one of two) produced by Philosophy Professor William Lane Craig’s Reasonable Faith group addresses the facts about Jesus’ claim to be God. Give it a listen, then make up your own mind:
Don’t miss Part 2 here tomorrow. It will address the four major categories of theories advanced by critics and skeptics over the millenia to dispute the claim Jesus rose from the dead.
After he rose from the dead, where did the body go? That is an even bigger miracle, or an even bigger hoax.

Transformed into the resurrection body, including the spear wound in His side and the nail holes in his feet and wrists that Thomas had to see before he would believe.

Don,
If the authorities after Jesus was resurrected would have been able to produce his body, they would have destroyed Christianity right out of the gate. The fact that they could not produce His body says much for the validity of the Apostles claim. It should have been easy for the authorities to produce Jesus body.
