I'm a Scripturalist! Of course I can account for 1 Tim. 3:16 and 2 Tim. 1:10. Even if I could not account for any other "historical manifestation", I can account for all Scriptural occurrences.
Can you? How do you account for the fact that the New Testament stakes its claim on the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and that this fact is established on the basis of eye-witness, Acts 1:3? If in your idealist world no person can know anything by means of sight, how did the disciples know Jesus Christ was raised from the dead?
