Arnie and Fred continue to discuss some of the theories that have been proposed to explain away Jesus' resurrection. We begin this episode by looking at the last theory called the swoon theory originally proposed by German philosopher Karl Venturini who died in 1849. He proposed that Jesus merely fainted on the cross, either from drug induced stupor or wounds, was revived in the cool, damp tomb and escaped. We discuss what the Roman soldier did to ensure that Jesus was dead according to one of the witnesses. We discuss Jesus' condition on the cross that clearly indicate this theory is unsupported by the facts. We look at the way that the Jewish people prepare bodies to be buried and the time Jesus spent with His disciples after He was resurrected. We close out this episode by beginning our discussion on what the empty tomb actually did. We look at how it substantiated Christ's resurrection. We end this episode by beginning to look at fulfilled prophecy and the promise Jesus made. We will complete this discussion in the next episode. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on what we are saying. Have your Bible handy so you can see if what we are saying agrees with it.
