Christ’s Resurrection and The Hallucination Theory

In this third of a series, Pastor Mike points out why “The Hallucination Theory,” used to explain away the resurrection of Christ, is wrong. The Hallucination Theory suggests that Jesus didn’t really rise from the dead. His followers were only seeing hallucinations of Him. (If you can’t see this video, click here.) You might also […]

Christ’s Resurrection and The Theft Theory

In this second of a series, Pastor Mike points out why “The Theft Theory,” used to explain away the resurrection of Christ, is wrong.
