Henke 2022as

I Certainly Read Lewis (1960) Before Commenting on It in Henke (2022b). Meanwhile, Lundahl (2022j) Shows Great Impatience in Wanting to Discuss the Resurrection of Jesus Christ before Providing Good Evidence for Genesis 3

Lundahl (2022j) shows his impatience on why I have not brought up the issue of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ:

“But where exactly is Henke going to adress [sic spelling] what C. S. Lewis had to say about the Miracles of Christ in the Gospels, which were his go to for historic miracles?

Looking at the following paragraphs, he is not going to adress [sic] that. While Miracles, by C. S. Lewis, was a reference I did bother to give, did not give in the Chicago format, and he finally found it out, between 15th of March, when I finished a few prequels to the final essay, and 15th of May, when Henke responded, he did not in fact take the time to read that reference. His freedom ... but if he didn't read it, he might have been wiser to not comment on it so much.”

Contrary to the speculations in Lundahl (2022j), I first read Miracles (Lewis 1960) many years ago when I was still a Christian. However, I was not impressed Lewis’ arguments even back then. My copy of Lewis (1960) was destroyed when our family library was largely flooded in 1997. I first saw Mr. Lundahl’s reference to Lewis (1960) in Lundahl (2022a) after March 15, 2022. After March 15, 2022, I found a copy of the 1960 2^nd edition of Lewis’ Miracles. I then reread it before I sent my response, Henke (2022b), to Mr. Lundahl on May 15, 2022. When I commented in Henke (2022b) on the terrible arguments in Lewis (1960), I had recently read it, contrary to what Lundahl (2022j) thinks in the above quotation.

Nevertheless, I had not planned on dealing with the supposed Resurrection of Jesus Christ until Mr. Lundahl provided acceptable evidence for the Talking Snake of Genesis 3. That’s why the Resurrection is not mentioned in Henke (2022a) and Henke (2022b). Yet, in his impatience, Lundahl (2022j) wants to deal with the “historic miracle” of the Resurrection even though, as I stated before in Henke (2022b), miracles have to be demonstrated under current and strict laboratory conditions. Meanwhile, Price (2007), Carrier (2014), Loftus (2010), Loftus (2011) and other works argue that the Resurrection of Christ is a myth. We could discuss these references once Mr. Lundahl gives me suitable evidence for the existence of the Talking Snake in Genesis 3. As I’ve argued before in Henke (2022b) and my other essays, Mr. Lundahl’s arguments about “first known audiences” and “cultural memories” are not acceptable evidence. People are gullible and tend to believe all kinds of lies and misinterpretations.
