→Premise of truth: concluding statement that the historical fact of Jesus defeats the charge of circular reasoning from the Bible to the Bible and from the authority of the Church to the authority of the Church, but rest on the premise of Jesus
==Premise of truth==
==Premise of truth==
The historicity of Jesus as a fact of history is the foundational [[premise]] on which the [[truth]] of [[Christianity]] depends, his [[resurrection]], his promises, the founding of the Church which will never be overcome by the power of evil, her authority, her doctrines, the [[Biblical Canon|canon of the Bible]].<ref>1 Corinthians 15:1-28; Ephesians 2:20; Matthew 16:13-19; 18:15-18; 28:18-20; John 14:15-24; 16:12-15; Acts 20:28; Hebrews 13:7, 17; 1 Corinthians 3:16-20; 12:4-29; 1 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Peter 1:3-21; Romans 13:1-7; 1 Timothy 3:14-16; 1 John 2:18-25; 2 Peter 3:1-18; Titus 3:1-11.</ref>

This [[fact]] defeats the charge of [[circular reasoning]] in which the Bible proves the authority of the Bible and the authority of the Church has established the authority of the Church. All claims to truth are premised instead on the reliable historical reality of Jesus.
