"But if there is no resurrecton of the dead, not even Christ has been raised...For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied." v. 13, 16-19
"The two ressurections, Christ's and believers', stand or fall together; if there is no resurrection, then Christ is dead." Wow. That is the truth in a nutshell. Christianity can only work this one way. The Hope of the Old Testament either came, died and was resurrected in the New or the whole Bible and it's truths are null and void.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident." : In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident proposition is one that is known to be true by understanding its meaning without proof.
