We show that Jesus explicitly claimed to be God, attributing to himself the right to forgive sins, asserting his existence before Abraham, and using the divine name revealed to Moses. We examine why he was condemned for claiming to be the Messiah. Then we address the resurrection: the established historical facts, the only three possible hypotheses, and why both the theory of a lie and that of mass hallucinations are rationally untenable. CHAPTERS: • 00:27: Introduction to the interview by Father Matthieu Raffray and Matthieu Lavagna on the question "Is Jesus God?" • 01:23: The importance of using rational arguments and approaching the question from the perspective of historical inquiry. • 02:37: The fundamental argument of the trilemma: Jesus is either God, a madman, or a liar. • 03:11: Historical analysis of the belief in Christ's divinity among early Christians from the 1st century onward. • 04:10: Refutation of Michel Onfray's argument concerning the late divinization of ancient philosophers. • 05:18: Jesus' implicit declarations of his divinity (the forgiveness of sins, the power to judge the living and the dead). • 07:20: Explicit statements in which Jesus declares that he has existed for all eternity (the use of the expression "I am / Ego eimi"). • 08:39: Jesus' condemnation for blasphemy by his enemies as proof of his divine claims. • 09:31: Break and thanks to the sponsor (the Hosanna app). • 10:02: Resumption of the discussion on the exclusivity of Jesus' demands on his disciples and the testimonies of his apostles. • 11:35: The resurrection as ultimate proof and central argument of Christian apologetics. • 13:03: Historical analysis of the three hypotheses concerning the apostles' views on the resurrection (truth, falsehood, or hallucination). • 14:47: Refutation of the theory of mass hallucination (psychiatric criteria, psychological profiles, and the case of Saint Paul). • 17:50: Refutation of Muslim arguments (Quran, Surah 4) denying the crucifixion of Jesus in light of first-century historical sources. • 7:01 PM: Conclusion of the interview and presentation of Matthieu Lavagna's book (Be Rational, Become Catholic). _________________________________ I am also present on: Instagram:   / abbe_matthieu_raffray   TikTok:   / abbe_matthieu_raffray   Facebook:   / abberaffray   Snapchat:   / @abbe_raffray   Podcast: https://smartlink.ausha.co/sursum-corda 👉 Subscribe to the channel and share this video. _________________________________ To allow this apostolate to continue to grow, I am appealing to you.
