Does the Resurrection of Jesus Prove Christianity?- The Issue of Subsumability
Manage episode 272450584 series 2592014
Assuming one could prove that a miraculous Resurrection of Jesus did in fact take place 2000+ years ago, would that necessarily imply that Christianity is true or could other religions "subsume" such miracles as proof for their truth; later religions like the Bahai faith or the Jehovah's Witnesses might want to lay claim that the Resurrection was proof of the truth of their religions not for Christianity for example. By what criteria should we judge that a given miracle counts as proof for one religion vs. others that claim the same event? This is the issue of miracle "subsumability" and in this episode I provide my unique set of criteria for deciding such matters.
