Leslie (the woman who married Lee) started asking questions about God after:
Her daughter almost died
She lost her job
Her father died
She read a book about Jesus
Lee tried to save his marriage by disproving what event?
The life of Jesus
The birth of Jesus
The miracles of Jesus
The resurrection of Jesus
Lee wondered if the first eyewitnesses of Jesus were lying, but Gary Habermas reminded him that:
They were treated well for talking about Jesus.
They were often killed for saying that Jesus was alive.
There were no eyewitnesses to Jesus.
Jesus was a real person
Lee wondered if the eyewitness accounts could be trusted, but Father Marquez (the archaeologist who became a priest) taught him that:
Jesus' followers wrote many books.
He'd seen it on youtube and it checks out as true.
The New Testament is vastly more reliable than other documents from the ancient world.
The Old Testament has been found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Lee talks to William Lane Craig and argues that the resurrection accounts are inconsistent. Dr Craig tells him:
That it's a sign of their authenticity. The core story is the same.
That he was reading the wrong version.
That Lee must have read the bible up side down.
That the words in greek mean the same thing.
Lee then wrestles some more. If the accounts are reliable and the core of the story is the same, then maybe the people who claim to have seen him were only having a hallucination. This leads him to talk to a psychologist, Roberta Waters. She says:
Many people can have hallucinations about the same thing.
Dreams and hallucinations happen all the time.
Psychologists are awesome and you should become one.
To get 500 people to hallucinate the same thing would be, in her words, “a bigger miracle than the resurrection.”
Lee is forced to consider the facts so far: People claimed to see Jesus alive after his death; Lots of them died for saying that he was alive; The New Testament documents are reliable historical accounts; and the group of 500 people could not have been hallucinating at the same time. In addition to this, he has noticed that his wife has changed - for the better. She loves him deeply and is growing and changing as a person. He has one more idea which would disprove the resurrection: the theory that Jesus didn’t actually die in the first place. What is this theory called?
Swan Dive
Swine Herd
Swoon
Fake death
