Hi, guys —

  • How do we know that Jesus was God?

People during our times have come and said:

I am Jesus follow me.

and they were just regular people. Again, how do we know that Jesus was God and not just one of those people who said,

I am Jesus follow me?

Thank you,

Seth

Eric replied:

Seth—

We know Jesus was God because He rose from the dead.

Not to mention all the miracles he worked.

  • How do we know He rose from the dead?

That's a more complicated answer, but it begins because there were eyewitnesses to the event that:

  • testified to it
  • wrote it down, and
  • started a Church that continues to this day on the basis of the event.

It's hard to believe that someone would start a church based on a historical, verifiable event that never happened.

Imagine denying that the American Revolution ever happened.

Eric
