Ae faapefea i latou na fai mai e leai se toetutu i totonu 1 Apetaga 15?

If you read 1 Apetaga 15, you will find that the argument centred on whether or not matou rise from the dead: not whether Jesus had risen. Paul cites the accepted fact of Jesus’ resurrection as the primary evidence in support of his argument. I le taimi nei, textual analysis shows that 1 Apetaga 15:3-7, detailing the resurrection appearances, are cited from a significantly matua source than even Paul’s letter (itself dated at AD55); confirming yet again that the resurrection accounts, far from being later additions, have always been at the very centre of the Christian message.

O le Toetu na tatau ai ona avea o ia ma atua, Aunoa ma le a leai se lotu fou. Without a resurrection Jesus was just a man who died.

Curious then that every other major world religion has managed the trick without it! Jesus did not need to become a ‘God’ to get a following. In fact it would have been easier if he were not, auā e sili ‘ona talia e Iutaia ‘atoa ma Kaisara.

Ae e te fai mai a aunoa ma le toetu o Iesu e leai se mea. O le auala na faamatalaina ai le tala e paʻu lava pe ana le o Iesu o le Alo o le Atua. Sa sili atu ona faaeteete o Buddha ma Mohammed.

O le a na o sina mea itiiti lava ona o le NT fai mai o ia faia fai mai o ia o le Alo o le Atua ma toetu mai le oti, ma isi. Ana le o le tulaga lena, semanu e faigofie ona maua e ia se tagata mulimuli o se perofeta, e pei lava ona faia e le toatele o isi.

Miliona o Moslems, Hindu, Puta, Iutaia, ma isi. ‘ua oti fo‘i ‘ae le‘i liliu ‘ese lo latou fa‘atuatua…

Ioe. Na latou feoti mo mea na latou talitonu e moni. Ae afai e faafoliga e le au soo a latou tala, ona latou feoti lea mo mea na latou na iloa o se pepelo. E seasea maua se tagata e to'atasi e fa'avalevalea na te faia se mea fa'apea: ae o le faia o lenei mea semanu latou te feita uma!
