Shakespeare's Life, Work, and Religiosity (Dr. Aaron Urbanczyck) | Ep. 480

Today we chat with Thomas about why Christ rose from the dead and then go from there to take a look at how one might argue for the resurrection of Christ. --- HUGE THANKS to the following Patrons: Tom Dickson, Jack Buss, Sean McNicholl, Jed Florstat, Daniel Szafran, Phillip Hadden Katie Kuchar, Phillipe Ortiz, Russell T Potee, Sarah Jacob, Fernando Enrile --- Here's some resources to delve deeper: Gary Habermas - <a href= "http://www.garyhabermas.com/">http://www.garyhabermas.com/</a> William Lane Craig - <a href= "http://www.reasonablefaith.org/">http://www.reasonablefaith.org/</a> Trent Horn - <a href= "http://shop.catholic.com/why-believe-in-jesus-a-case-for-the-existence-divinity-and-resurrection-of-christ.html">http://shop.catholic.com/why-believe-in-jesus-a-case-for-the-existence-divinity-and-resurrection-of-christ.html</a> --- Here's the section I read from the Summa: It behooved Christ to rise again, for five reasons. First of all; for the commendation of Divine Justice, to which it belongs to exalt them who humble themselves for God's sake, according to Luke 1:52: "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." Consequently, because Christ humbled Himself even to the death of the Cross, from love and obedience to God, it behooved Him to be uplifted by God to a glorious resurrection; hence it is said in His Person (Psalm 138:2): "Thou hast known," i.e. approved, "my sitting down," i.e. My humiliation and Passion, "and my rising up," i.e. My glorification in the resurrection; as the gloss expounds. Secondly, for our instruction in the faith, since our belief in Christ's Godhead is confirmed by His rising again, because, according to 2 Corinthians 13:4, "although He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God." And therefore it is written (1 Corinthians 15:14): "If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and our [Vulgate: 'your'] faith is also vain": and (Psalm 29:10): "What profit is there in my blood?" that is, in the shedding of My blood, "while I go down," as by various degrees of evils, "into corruption?" As though He were to answer: "None. 'For if I do not at once rise again but My body be corrupted, I shall preach to no one, I shall gain no one,'" as the gloss expounds. Thirdly, for the raising of our hope, since through seeing Christ, who is our head, rise again, we hope that we likewise shall rise again. Hence it is written (1 Corinthians 15:12): "Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?" And (Job 19:25-27): "I know," that is with certainty of faith, "that my Redeemer," i.e. Christ, "liveth," having risen from the dead; "and" therefore "in the last day I shall rise out of the earth . . . this my hope is laid up in my bosom." Fourthly, to set in order the lives of the faithful: according to Romans 6:4: "As Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life": and further on; "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more; so do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive to God." Fifthly, in order to complete the work of our salvation: because, just as for this reason did He endure evil things in dying that He might deliver us from evil, so was He glorified in rising again in order to advance us towards good things; according to Romans 4:25: "He was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification."

Men today are under siege. Our faith is mocked. Our masculinity is sidelined. Brotherhood fails around us. It’s a crisis like we’ve never seen before. How do we turn it around? | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https:/heroicmen.org/alliance">Join the Heroic Alliance | Learn more!</a>500 years before Christ, King Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest warrior-king of the Babylonian empire rounded up and targeted the best Hebrew young men. He brainwashed their religion out of them, stripped them of their Hebrew identity, and demanded that they abandon their God - or face death.Today, Big Tech and broken education are brainwashing our children. Our youth have been robbed of their Christian identity. We are being challenged to abandon God. In those days of Hebrew persecution, Daniel and three men of heroic virtue refused to back down. They set an example of unfailing heroism in the middle of a brutal culture siege.What kind of men are we today? Do we know how to step up and take a stand for our faith, our families, and our future?Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers challenges men to join him live for a half hour of powerful storytelling, practical wisdom, and a roadmap to build the habits of a Heroic Man."Knowing that other men share my experience in this siege against my faith, my family, and my brothers, is crucial.
