First sermon:paul and the Gentiles
Early Christianity kept the Jewish Law
Exception: Paul -- Virtual & ceremonial law does not apply after jesus death moral does.

Craig's Opening address:

1. The real jesus rose from the dead in conformation of his radical personal claims to divinity
2. If contention 1 is false-- that is, if jesus did not rise-- then christianity is a fairy tale which no rational person should belive.

If jesus was a liar or lunatic how can you trust other things that he said--
Class discussion--
1. beliefs made sense
2. everyone has a natural moral decency
3. we live in a world of decent people anyway

-- is this analogous to a " expert" situation or a personal character situation where a flawed individual have good things to say-- Example (MLK JR)

-- What was Jesus Main message
(possible) I am the savior, and I am your doorway to heaven
-- Look at what it means to you
