Video review: Christian Martyrs, by Randall Niles.
Randall Niles examines the history of Christian martyrs as evidence for the truth of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Any skeptic who holds to a notion that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was a man-made legend created after-the-fact by a group of religious zealots, should sincerely check out the legacy of Christian persecution and martyrdom.
“Eleven of the 12 apostles, and many of the other early disciples, died for their adherence to this story,” Niles says. “This is so spectacular, since they all witnessed the alleged events surrounding Jesus and his resurrection, and still went to their deaths defending them.
“Why is this spectacular, when many throughout history have died martyred deaths for a religious belief? Because people don’t die for a lie. Look at human nature throughout history. No conspiracy can be maintained when life or liberty is at stake. Dying for a belief is one thing, but numerous eye-witnesses dying for a known lie is quite another.”
