» Brian Tubbs - My narrow point

In response to No Way, Hosea! posted by pink101:

Pink, I'm not saying you're anti-intellectual for rejecting the resurrection of Jesus. My very narrow point is that it's anti-intellectual to reject the idea that there is wide consensus on certain facts surrounding the life, ministry, death, and alleged resurrection appearances of Jesus. I'm contending that there are certain facts which have been established to a very high degree of confidence and certainty, and these facts include those offered by Craig in his video.

Now...I'm not saying that the INTERPRETATION of those facts is the same across the board. I'm talking about the facts themselves, such as the crucifixion of Jesus, his burial in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, the fact that his women followers were those to first report the empty tomb, and then the fact that many of Jesus' followers (and a few who didn't at first) later claimed to see Jesus alive. THESE facts are widely agreed upon by scholars, and that's the point Craig is making.

p.s. I believe Spong is the guy in the video, yes. And I have been trying to track down the full debate online, so that I could see/hear his arguments. If I'm successful, I will post it here. If you find it, please do so yourself.
