God incarnate
Anticipation Set
A cross is an instrument of Capitol punishment
There is no difference between the Jesus of history, and the Christ of faith. Jesus is fully divine and fully human
Some scholars attempt to spear ate the Jesus of history from the Christ of faith, reducing the former to a mere man and the latter of religious fantasy
In reality, the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are one and the same; his salvific message is validated by the Ressurection
Starting in the 19 century some scholars questioned the info I'm the gospels
The rising doubt led to argue that Jesus of history and Christ of Faith were different
Jesus of history is the person
Christ of faith is the true divine person of Him
The Jesus seminar
These scholars thought that the apostles could not have been objective in the events
They think the Apostles lied about the Resurrection
This led the Jesus seminar at which the attendees decided that the Gospels had few facts surrounded by a lot of tall tales
The conclusion has very devastating implications- if Jesus has not truly risen from the dead then our faith is in vain
Orthodox teaching confirms that the Jesus of history and the Christ of Faith are one and the Same person
Resurrection
It is the central belief in Christianity
Scripture provides proof and testimonies that the story is true
The conversion of St Paul shows that the believers aren't limited to the ones who've believed in Him
all along and eyewitnessesed Him
The spread of the story in the face or persecution and death, reveals a strength in the conviction in the risen Lord behind intervention
Gospels are centered around the life of Christ
