		<description>Rayburne,

Absolutely agree, and to carry on Paul&#039;s words... &lt;em&gt;we are of all people most to be pitied&lt;/em&gt;

Thanks for your comment... and the further insight, underscoring the truthfulness of the Christian faith.

Great to have your input!</description>

		<description>As a Christian, the resurrection is the heart of our faith. As Paul said, if Christ is not resurrected, then we are still in our sins. Of course, I believe the resurrection because scripture plainly teaches it. But that doesn&#039;t mean that my belief exists in a vacuum. I believe not because it is part of my denominational belief (God gave us the gift of faith, not stupidy) but rather because of the historical-legal evidence that supports it, as do most Christians. 

Simon Greenleaf, the famous Royall Professor of Law at Harvard University and one of the greatest legal minds in America, upon intensive legal examination of the testimony of the apostles to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, concluded that the resurrection of Christ was one of the best supported events in history according to the laws of legal evidence administered in courts of justice. After examining the evidence from a judicial perspective, Lord Darling, a former Chief Justice of England, concluded that “there exists such overwhelming evidence , positive and negative, factual and circumstantial, that no intelligent jury in the world would fail to bring in a verdict that the resurrection story is true. Tom Anderson, former president of the California Trial Lawyers Association and co-author of the Basic Advocacy Manual of the Association of Trial Lawyers in America, wrote, ” It is irresistibly noteworthy that nowhere in the historical account of the trial, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, or in any &#039;ancient documents’ are any witnesses, documents, or accounts set forth which question the historical fact that Jesus Christ was crucified and the historical fact that He was Resurrected from the dead. Therefore, I, as a trial lawyer, would have to advise my clients who retained me to prove the truth or hoax of the Trial, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus that all witnesses and all documents and all historians reveal it to be the truth.”</description>
