My own take is this: did God raise Jesus from the dead. If you answer yes, then you are a believer. If you answer no, then you are not. Why do people argue over non-essentials? Or give up? Because they get distracted from the core issue.

Either Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, or not. Take your pick. The entire NT was based on this one issue. Everyone has to make a decision. If you ignore the question, or avoid it, or change the subject, that is your decision.

It's not called faith for nothing.
