What is the evidence that the Shroud of Turin is the real burial cloth of Jesus and bears His crucified image? In this episode I begin to cover 17 points of evidence that point to authenticity.

The Shroud of Turin is the purported burial cloth of Jesus Christ, bearing the image of a crucified man. Is it authentic and evidence for the resurrection, or just a medieval forgery? This is the first episode in the final sub-series in the resurrection series. I start by examining the features of the cloth itself, as well as the image of a crucified man that is embedded within the

In this miscellany episode I offer my short thoughts on worship music, being thoughtful about our language, the centrality of truth, words of advice to aspiring preachers, why religion is not a bad word, conversation etiquette, and end with a Pet the Peeve segment about where waitresses place the bill on the table.

I covered the final four differences in the gospel accounts: 1. Did Peter just look into the tomb, or did he enter it? 2. Why did the angels tell the women to tell the male disciples to meet Him in Galilee if Jesus was going to appear to the apostles that same day in Jerusalem? 3. Why did Jesus tell the apostles to stay in Jerusalem if they had not yet gone to Galilee? 4. Did Jesus

I address three Gospel differences: 1. Did all of the apostles disbelieve the report of the Emmaus Disciples, or only some of them? 2. Did Jesus ascend to heaven the same day as His resurrection, or weeks later 3.

I also explore differences related to the Emmaus disciples narrative. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.com Email: [email protected] Facebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieve Twitter & Gettr: @thinki

I continue to examine differences in the empty tomb narratives. In this episode, I address differences in where the women were when the angels appeared to them. I show how the differences can be resolved when we recognize that there were two tomb visits. Mary Magdalene went to the tomb twice. She left before the angels/Jesus appeared to the remaining women, but saw the angels/Jesus

I do a walkthrough of the four gospel accounts’ concerning the empty tomb, resurrection, and post-mortem appearances of Jesus, comparing and contrasting them to identify similarities and differences. Then I begin to harmonize the empty tomb narratives, addressing the following differences: 1. Which women went to the tomb? 2. Did the women journey to the tomb when it was dark or a

I explored the various compositional devices used in Greco-Roman biographies and provided Biblical examples of their use in the Gospels. These compositional devices explain many of the so-called errors and differences in the Gospels.

Part 2 of harmonizing the resurrection accounts. Still establishing the foundation for harmonization by looking at how the ancients recorded history. Explained how differences in words and events can be explained. Started looking at Mike Licona's work on compositional devices.
