If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless, and so is your faith.

That's 1 Corinthians 1514.

Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you.

That is 1st Peter 315.

Okay, Christians, we want to know if you have any good reasons to believe that Jesus rose from the dead

for real. We've heard arguments before, and they've always fallen as flat as a corpse rotting in a

tomb. If you think you can do any better, give us a call because the show is starting right now.

All right, all right. Welcome, everyone. Today is Sunday, July 27th, 2025. I'm your host, Scott Dickey. And joining me today is my brother from another continent. Richard Jiliver. Richard, how you doing today? I'm very, very good. I'm very looking forward to.

Does that make sense?

I'm very much looking forward to both doing a show with you because I always enjoy working with you, Scott, and taking calls on the resurrection Christians.

This show is all about the resurrection.

Yeah, and I can almost sense as if Christ is in the room here with us.

I'm getting kind of an odd feeling.

It's just, although he's really flexing hard there, yeah.

And I hear you've been talking some smack a little bit this week, too,

about throwing the gauntlet down to these Christian believers.

Absolutely. Look, we have, I have, and we have, on lots and lots of different occasions, Christians saying two things to us.

One is that if the, as you've just stated in your opening, in fact, if the resurrection is not true, then Christianity

is not true. And, you know, I've had people say that to me in debates before. I've had people

just on random social media say that to me. And also, one thing I get a lot is people just

preaching, you know, the old Jesus loves you and you'll go to health type of stuff if you don't believe.

That's not going to convince anyone.
