Claim 3 of 5 · Case 02 · Resurrection of Christ
A former enemy and a former skeptic both changed their lives after claiming to see the risen Jesus.
One claim from the free evidence repository at apologetics.pro.
Two people who had no reason to believe came to faith after saying they encountered Jesus alive. One had been attacking the church. The other was a family member who had not believed during Jesus’s lifetime. Their turnarounds call for an explanation.
Backed by 2 pieces of evidence
Paul, the former persecutor
An enemy of the movement becoming its leading missionary, at great personal cost, is hard to explain if nothing happened. This is a hostile witness reporting his own experience, not a friendly one repeating a story.
James, the brother who had not believed
A skeptical family member becoming a church leader and then dying for the faith points to a real change driven by something he believed he saw.
