Jesus did not rise bodily from the dead

I thank my partner for his opening reply. Unfortunately, my partner has made some serious mistakes that I wish to exploit in this round. *- Loosely stated in the resolution, the personhood and crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a commonly accepted based on historically writings and eye witness accounts... I have already conceded that Jesus Christ was a historical person. I have already conceded that Jesus died by crucifixion. *- The Risen Christ was physical, not spiritual.... This is the claim that you make. This is the claim I am arguing against. *- During the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it is reported by extra-biblical sources that ground shook and the sky grew dark by an eclipse... You need to provide these extra-Biblical sources. You need to prove that these sources are reliable. Onto the sources 1) Jewish Antiquities, 18.63-64This is a serious mistake exploited by my partner. Unfortunately, the majority of scholars view this as an interpolation. Evidence: Not a single Christian author has used this as support for the Jesus myth. It is quite absurd that Josephus claims that Jesus was the Messiah yet remained an orthodox Jew. Likewise, it is also absurd to claim that Josephus would even dare to claim that God became a man. Why did Josephus only make one paragraph of Jesus if Josephus really thought that Jesus was "the Christ" (lit. The Messiah), instead of making a casual point for his existence? [1] Matt Slick from the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry admits, "The problem with the copies of Antiquities is that they appear to have been rewritten in favor of Jesus and some say too favorable to have been written by a Jew. Add to this that the Christians were the ones who kept and made the copies of the Josephus documents throughout history and you have a shadow of doubt cast upon the quotes." [2] [Ignatius, letter to the Smyrneans (110-115 AD)] There are some problems with this: You need to prove that this letter is a reliable source without bias. This is a hearasy account written almost a hundred years after Jesus. This source is clearly bias as Ignatius of Antioch was a Christian trying to prove Jesus' resurrection to the Smyrneans. The Risen Body Quotes from the Bible prove nothing from this debate. I have provided evidence from the previous round that the New Testament cannot be relied upon. The Bible is a claim, not proof. Chris points out, The passage is 1st Corinthians 15:3-9, andmost Biblical scholars agree it was really written by Paul. But again, would you accept similarevidence in favor of another religion’s miracles? The Mormon church has statements signed byseveral people attesting to miracles that are supposed to confirm the truth of the Book of theMormon, but you probably won’t convert to Mormonism based on that. Also, Paul doesn’t tell ushow he knows about all these appearances, so we can’t be confident his report is accurate. [3] The Supernatural DeathHere are some problems with these quotes: Julius Africanus is a hearasy account and should not be relied upon. The Thallus quote is easily doubtful. The fact that a solar eclips marked the death of a king was not unheard of in pagan mythology. [4] We know nothing about Thallus, nor do we know anything about his work. Therefore, we do not know if Thallus is even relialbe to begin with. It is possible that this was a forgery as well. [5] Conclusion In efforts to "prove" the resurrection of Jesus, my partner has made a very weak case quoting historians writting long after the alleged event. Likewise, we know from philosophy that this is an argument from authority, also this is argumentum ad populum. My partner has proven nothing. _______________________References a) From this round 1. http://www.jesusneverexisted.com...;2. http://carm.org...;3. https://docs.google.com...;4.
