Did Early Critics Like Celsus & Porphyry Help Prove Christianity?

Before Rome converted, early pagan critics like Celsus and Porphyry tried to attack Christianity head-on. In their writings — The True Doctrine and Against the Christians — they mocked the virgin birth, accused Jesus of being a sorcerer, and criticized the Bible. But what’s surprising is what they didn’t deny. These ancient critics of Christianity still acknowledged that Jesus performed miracles, and that the tomb was found empty. In this video, we explore how ancient critiques may have actually strengthened the case for the resurrection — and what it means for Christian apologetics today.
