About the video:
The historical argument for the resurrection is an important aspect of Christian apologetics. In this Easter upload, I am joined by Dr. Andrew Loke to discuss the argument for the resurrection found in his works. We talk about the varying scientific and historical considerations, possible arguments against his position as well as how you can get further into the resurrection argument through further reading. I hope you enjoy.

In regards to "seeing" the Resurrected Jesus, Loke says the terms Paul uses "are not ambiguous with regards to the nature of the seeing when they are used with reference to persons with bodies (such as Jesus) within a certain context." - _Studies on the Origin of Divine and Resurrection Christology_ p. 30

Loke here, clearly adopts the burden of proof by claiming the nature of the seeing "was not ambiguous" according to Paul. Thus, all the skeptic needs to show is that ambiguity still exists.

Refutation: Paul does not specify whether these "appearances" happened before or after Jesus was believed to be in heaven. According to the New Testament, the appearance to Paul happened afterwards and he makes no distinction regarding the others in 1 Cor 15:5-8. This makes the type of "seeing" ambiguous and refutes Loke’s argument.

Loke’s case for the resurrection is probably the strongest among the different approaches.
