equally admits that scholarship argues between this being spiritual or physical resurrection. So the very first problem my challenger has with me is immediately diminished by himself. He brings a point of contention and then weakens his position by admitting that Paul's references to the resurrection could actually be referring to a spiritual phenomenon, not physical resurrection. It's a very weak argument from the beginning. So the problem for scholarship is that Paul provides no resurrection account. He provides no historical details of Jesus coming out of the tomb, talking to the people, flying up into the sky, none of that. Scholarship, notice that Paul twice says, Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day, according to the scriptures. What scriptures? Paul's the very first author. The Pauline writings are way older than Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This is the problem scholarship has always had with this right here. Because it looks like centuries later, because we have no original Christian manuscripts, centuries later, when the church was making copies of the Pauline writings, they inserted things like, according to the scriptures, Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures. Yeah, man, this isn't me saying this. Academia has already condemned this as an interpolation. An interpolation is a phrase that gives it away, that somebody has added like a prepositional phrase or interjection in the text. Because Paul himself would have never said, according to the scriptures, he was writing the scriptures, the writings of Paul, later ended up in the New Testament. Now, Paul had no direct knowledge, therefore scholarship deems this very weak. Paul is citing doctrine from texts, no different than Christians today. Remember, remember, Paul never met Jesus, never saw Jesus, wasn't even alive when Jesus was, didn't know anything as far as the apostles of Jesus, didn't know nothing.
