Apr 23, 2019 – The Resurrection and Appearances of Jesus Christ
Today’s program is taken from John’s Gospel chapter 10 about the Resurrection and his Appearances that occur after it.
Matt makes a comparison to the resurrection of Lazarus with that of Christ in John 11:32-45.
(John 20:1-18, 10:1-4, 20:16, 11:32-45)

Isn’t it a problem for the historicity of this alleged event that most Bible scholars doubt the eyewitness authorship of the Gospels, the sources of this story?
Thanks for tuning into our program, Gary. And thanks for your thoughtful question. The short answer is “No, not at all.” For the longer and more detailed answer, please listen to our May 21, 2019 program. I take quite a bit of time at the beginning of that program addressing your question in some detail. I sincerely hope you find that helpful.
Thank you again, Gary. May the Lord Jesus bless you mightily!
I have repeatedly asserted that the biggest weakness in the evidence for the alleged resurrection of Jesus is the fact that most historians and scholars doubt the eyewitness/associate of eyewitness authorship of the books that tell this tale. For all we know, these stories are the theological or literary inventions of their non-eyewitness authors. But what if these four authors did profess to be eyewitnesses to multiple back-from-the-dead Jesus sightings? Should we believe them?
No.
