So you admit your beliefs don't even offer any claim or proof that your 
leader rose from the dead, that he atoned for your sins, or that he can 
raise anyone else from the dead.

Meanwhile,

      • People do not allow themselves to be tortured to death for
        something which they believe to be a lie. Many of the Apostles
        accepted torture and death rather than renounce their claim
        Christ rose from the dead.

      • The record shows there were over 500 witnesses: “For I
        delivered to you as of first importance what I also received:
        that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the
        Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third
        day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to
        Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five
        hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive,
        though some have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:3–6, ESV)

        If that had been a lie at the time it was written, they would
        have immediately been called out and shown to be false. They
        were not.

      • Roman soldiers claimed the disciples stole the body while they
        were asleep. Except the penalty for falling asleep would have
        been death, if their claim were true.

      • Changed lives also validate the resurrection. The Radical
        Transformation of the Disciples At the time of the arrest and
        crucifixion, the disciples fled in fear, abandoned Him, and
        remained locked away behind closed doors in terror of the
        authorities (Matthew 26:56; John 20:19). Within weeks, these
        same men publicly proclaimed His resurrection in the very city
        where He was condemned and executed, defying the threats,
        beatings, and imprisonment imposed by the Sanhedrin (Acts
        4:18-20; Acts 5:29-32). Men do not willingly suffer lifelong
        persecution, torture, and martyrdom for what they know to be a
        deliberate fabrication.

      • The Conversion of Key Skeptics: James, the brother of Jesus,
        along with His other earthly brothers, did not believe in Him
        during His earthly ministry (John 7:5; Mark 3:21). Following a
        personal resurrection appearance (1 Corinthians 15:7), James
        became a pillar and leader of the church in Jerusalem
        (Galatians 2:9) and wrote the epistle bearing his name. Saul of
        Tarsus was an aggressive enemy and persecutor of the church,
        breathing threats and slaughter against believers (Acts 9:1-2).
        An encounter with the risen Lord on the Damascus road turned
        this chief adversary into the apostle to the Gentiles, willing
        to endure total loss and death for Christ (Acts 9:3-20;
        Philippians 3:7-11).

      • The Shift in Sabbath Worship: For over a millennium, the Jewish
        people rigidly observed the seventh day of the week (Saturday)
        as the Sabbath under the Mosaic Law. Immediately following the
        resurrection, thousands of Jewish believers transferred their
        primary day of assembly, breaking of bread, and corporate
        worship to the first day of the week (Sunday), specifically
        commemorating the day on which the Lord rose from the dead
        (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Revelation 1:10).

Good News †

By dying on the cross, Christ canceled the legal debt of our sins 
against God (Colossians 2:14), and God validated this victory by raising 
Him from the grave (Romans 1:4). God is now able to justly declare 
sinners righteous (Romans 3:26) and spare them from His future wrath (1 
Thessalonians 1:10). This grace is freely given to all who place their 
trust in Him (Romans 6:23). Put your faith in the Lord and call on His 
name to be saved (Romans 10:9-13):
