Yes, the tomb was empty and Jesus was seen nearby and some ladies even talked to him. That is it. Jesus recovered from the near-dead position as did Jonah. Right?Ok , so you accept the empty tomb.
Do you disagree with anything in the OP?
Most Christian religious and divinity scholars agree. There is no reason for non Christian's to believe their opinion as they are not historians. That is why a non Christian has no reason to believe in the historicity of the resurrection event.They are experts on all ancient documents that exists form 1st century Palestine. And Habermas only used those who have published in peer reviewed journals (therefore excluding all charlatans)
But even more impoirtant I showed that my claim is true, (my claim being that most scholars accept the emty tomb)
If you what to argue that this means very little,. Then you are making a completely different objection, which is ok, but first admit that I supported my claim and then we can move to a different topic
No, no no, your source has advertisements, therefore I can dismiss it without any justification (usign “ @Subduction Zone " logicRegards

Does that video represent your views? Or would it be an other case where I refute the arguments and you simply answer with “strawman I never made such claims”This video addresses many of the OP's claims:

Several points to consider
Crucifixion is a well document mechanism, we know that people don’t survive it
Jesus was pinched with a spear to ensure his dead
Even if he survived there is no way he could have escaped the tomb
Even if he did, he would have been dying corps urging for medical attention, he would have not impressed anybody
Jesus would have to be a Genius Liar, because not even his closest disciples nor even his brothers knew “the truth”........... Jesus prefered to lie and claim that he was risen, rather than asking for help.
The location of his new tomb (after he died for real) would have been well known and could have been exposed by the enemies.
It is pretty close. It is not "evidence", but it is an explanation. It points out why your argument fails. It does use logic, something that your arguments have been devoid of.Does that video represent your views? Or would it be an other case where I refute the arguments and you simply answer with “strawman I never made such claims”
Besides It is interesting that you dismissed my source because it is “glamour press” and then you use a YouTube video to support your views. ……………….. why can’t I dismiss your video without any justification just like you have done with all my sources?
No, it’s not an assumption, I trust the gospels because they are correct in most of the historical details that we can verify……………indicating that the authors where well informed and knew about the stuff that was happeningNo, no, no. You are making the foolish error of assuming that the Gospels are accurate again. In other words you are using circular reasoning. You do not "know" any of that.
.
But they are not. They are merely correct in geography. There are not that many historical details and some they have have been shown to be very wrong. You cannot count the hits if you ignore the misses. And history by itself is not anywhere near enough. You are making a Spiderman fallacy again.No, it’s not an assumption, I trust the gospels because they are correct in most of the historical details that we can verify……………indicating that the authors where well informed and knew about the stuff that was happening
Ok so would it be fare if I treat the video as something that represents your view?............ are there any relevant things in the video that you disagree with?It is pretty close. It is not "evidence", but it is an explanation. It points out why your argument fails. It does use logic, something that your arguments have been devoid of.
Can you quote a single argument where I failed to use logic properly? Or should I include this in the list of false accusations that you can’t support?It does use logic, something that your arguments have been devoid of
That claim has already been refuted.Maybe, but we are talking about the empty tomb, not the resurrection itself.
75% of scholars agree with the empty tomb, this includes jews, muslims, atheists, agnostic etc.
LOL!!! You have that backwards. I don't think that I could find any post where you used logic properly.Ok so would it be fare if I treat the video as something that represents your view?............ are there any relevant things in the video that you disagree with?

I would say that we should consider both the hits and the misses.But they are not. They are merely correct in geography. There are not that many historical details and some they have have been shown to be very wrong. You cannot count the hits if you ignore the misses. And history by itself is not anywhere near enough. You are making a Spiderman fallacy again.
I agree. And when we do so there is nothing that generates believability from the statistics. Plus you are still guilty of a Spiderman Fallacy.I would say that we should consider both the hits and the misses.
But I am open minded, which objective method do you suggest that we should use to determine the historical validity of a document?
My suggestion is:
If the document is correct in most of the testable historical/geographical/politica/demographiv etc details.
If the author intended to right what actually happened
But I am open minded, which other method do you suggest and why you think your method is better than mine?
Can you please tell me what error was that?I agree. And when we do so there is nothing that generates believability from the statistics. Plus you are still guilty of a Spiderman Fallacy.
You also need to acknowledge your error. From now on I will merely post that. You made a HUGE error. Do you understand it?
Its frustrating that you keep repeating that over and over again despite the fact that I already explained your mistakePlus you are still guilty of a Spiderman Fallacy.
Okay if you are not going to pay attention why should anyone even respond to you. You screwed up when you tried to apply my standards to journals. I quoted you. You had to have seen it.Can you please tell me what error was that?
Its frustrating that you keep repeating that over and over again despite the fact that I already explained your mistake
“the author of Spiderman does not have the intent to write what really happened”
The method that I propose requires that the author of the document has the intent of writing what actually happened, in other words the author honestly and sincerely believes that the stuff that he reports is true)
Granted, it was an error,Let's focus on your gross error when you misapplied my standard.
I am talking about “intent of the author of a document”intent does not matter when you are the one making the error.
Granted, it was an error,
I am the first one to admit it that or don’t understand your standard, which is why I asked for further explanation in an earlier post, and until you clarify your standars I am likely to repeat the error.
I am talking about “intent of the author of a document”
If the author has knowledge about the stuff that was happening in that time/place and if the author has the intent to write real history……………..then the document is reliable.
Please let me know if you disagree with this methodology and if you disagree provide a different methodology and explain why is it better.
