8. New Testament Writers Challenge Readers to Check their Facts

• Luke's overt assertion of accuracy to Theophilus - Luke 1:1
• Peter's claim they didn't follow clevery devised tales but were eyewitnesses - 2 Peter 1:16
• Paul's bold declaration to Festus and King Aprippa about the resurrected Christ - Acts 26

9. New Testament Writers Describe Miracles Like Historical Events

Resurrection is the central event of Christianity

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile - 1 Corinthians 15:17

If the Resurrection was fact at the time, the writers would have spent more time making their accounts longer and more detailed

The writers were level headed with other miracles they records

Miracles were described like a report would not a wild-eyed preacher, just the facts

Key Phrase: Resurrection is the central event of Christianity
