Summary

What Paul the Apostle knew about Jesus is important if for no other reason than the dismantle poor arguments against the resurrection of Christ. This is a systematic look at what historical details Paul had about Jesus so that we can rule out the idea that Paul didn't know of a historical Jesus or that Paul was merely making things up as he went along.

I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking

0:05.8

biblically about everything. Yeah, we're good to go. So here's what we're going to do

0:12.3

today. Let me explain very briefly.

0:15.1

And if you're ever watching my streams and you're like, you jump in and you're 10 minutes in, you're five minutes in,

0:20.0

and you're like, what's you talking about? Back up to the first like minute or two of my

0:23.6

stream and I'll tell you what the stream's about and then you could jump back

0:26.9

with us and you'll track with us. I always front load with the topic we're talking

0:31.5

0:35.6

Christians we're talking to people about the evidence for the Christian faith

0:38.9

and we hear stuff that just sounds in a word nutty. It just sounds nuts but we don't have an answer for it because I've never

0:45.8

heard that before I've never heard that objection to Christianity before so I don't

1:14.7

letters or maybe he was he was just sort of talking about a whole different Jesus

1:19.7

than the guy they're talking about in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

1:23.0

And so we have these theories some people throw out there about there being two different

1:26.8

sort of Jesus, the Jesus of Paul, the Jesus of the Gospels, and stuff like that.

1:32.3

Anyway, this stuff gets pretty hairy pretty quickly but it's all based upon one idea that we can examine very easily and we'll do it today the idea is what did Paul based upon the letters of Paul what did Paul, based upon the letters of Paul, what did Paul know about Jesus historically?

1:46.0

What can we say Paul knew about Jesus?
