Patrick Conleyby Patrick Conley

Father Sam Martin joins Patrick to discuss Proof of the Resurrection

  • (4:01) why is the resurrection important?
  • (12:36) appearance Jesus as proof of the Resurrection.
  • (19:33) Bob – If Atheists want to disprove, only thing they can go on is Pilate and the guards would have been paid off and put under the rug. Only way to dispute Jesus rose from the dead.

(26:37) Break 1

  • (28:28) Timothy – I’m always curious as to how we can believe something nobody saw except the disciples. Had some doubt whether it actually happened or not.
  • (37:48) Nick – My favorite topic. I love this because in our faith, we believe it. No question. Greatest proof is the witness the apostles gave. Greatest we see today is the people who have changed. Give witness. There are skeptics…science. Shroud of Turin.

(43:18) Break 2

  • (44:37) Cathy – I had taken a bible study. Told me women were not allowed to be witnesses at that time. When Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, the apostles wrote that and they would have been embarrassed to write that. The fact they would write that is proof the resurrection is true.
