Renewing Your Mind · The Resurrection of Christ · 25 Sep 2026 podcast

Let's eat, let's drink, let's be merry, let's go to Mardi Gras, let's party until we're drunk as we can be, until

One of the greatest arguments for life after death that was ever conceived was conceived by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in an intricate philosophical form of practical reasoning where Kant is says, bottom line, that you just simply have to believe in life after death because if you don't, there is no ultimate basis for justice.

And if there's no ultimate basis for justice, there's no ultimate basis for ethics, and if there's no ultimate basis for ethics, then all of life becomes a preference and

Society becomes inevitably impossible.

Because ultimately

It's the preference of the one with the most power who will control your destiny.

And so Kant says, as a practical necessity, we simply have to believe in in God and we simply have to believe in life after death because without that life is meaningless.

Dostoevsky said it this way, if there is no God, all things are permissible.

And if all things are permissible, then there's no such thing as right or wrong.

And life is a cosmic child.

I want you to understand that when the SC speaks that way and when Emmanuel Cott speaks that way, what they're doing is this.

They're saying, Hey

Practical purposes, you better believe in Christ because if you don't, the options are so grim.

That life is

Becomes intolerable.

But a sober philosopher will look at that argument and say, Hey, wait a minute, as Nietzsche did.

That's the problem.

We are convinced that life is meaningless.

And we don't live like Alice in Wonderland where we can just simply project our desires and say that reality is as we would like it to be, and we're gonna believe in a resurrection because without believing in a resurrection, life would be intolerable.

Ladies and gentlemen, Paul does show us the grimness to the alternative to the resurrection of Christ here, but he doesn't rest his case there.
