If you were a con man, making up a religion and claims about a man being resurrected from the dead, would you make these kind of admissions? 🤔

“Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say, “There is no resurrection of the dead”? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain, and so is your faith. Moreover, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified wrongly about God that he raised up Christ—whom he did not raise up, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Those, then, who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished. If we have put our hope in #Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.”

“But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”

One of my favorite verses in the #Bible:

“For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord #Jesus #Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”

There are so many things in the Bible that would not make sense if someone was trying to make up a book. They only make sense if they are telling the truth about an infinitely complex god.
