“The resurrection of Jesus offers the best explanation for the incredible success of the early church. Without the resurrection there would have been no early church. Furthermore, it explains how a large generation of Jewish people (remember, most of the early Christians were Jewish) would have been willing to risk the damnation of their own souls to hell and reject what had been sociologically embedded in their community for centuries; namely, the Law must be kept for salvation, the Sabbath must be kept, nontrinitarian monotheism, and there is only a political messiah, not a rising and dying one. How does a group of people in a short time span, a society, disenfranchise themselves from that into which they had been culturally indoctrinated for centuries and risk the damnation of their own souls to hell to follow a carpenter from Nazareth? The most reasonable explanation is there was something about that man that caused this change. He was a miracle worker who rose from the dead.” J.P. Moreland
