If you base an argument on an assumpition, it can still be a legitimate argument if it follows the rules of logic. The main problem is that the argument will only work for those who accept the assumption as true. For those who do not accept the assumption as true, the argument will not be persuasive.

Apostles died horrible deaths because they would not say it was wrong. They were eyewitnesses to Jesus death. If it was a lie, they, of anyone, would know. Would you die a very painful death for something you knew to be a lie?

Also to my friend Rabbi saying that this argument cannot be used, there is a difference. True, other people died for something they BELIEVED in that ended up wrong. An eyewitness would absolutely KNOW without doubt the real answer. Belief and knowledge are 2 very different things. You cannot debunk this arguement.

There is no conclusive proof of a resurrection, the NT accounts are wildly contradictary. The argument that the apostles died to defend the idea is also non admisable as many people have died to defend ideas and beliefs that have later been shown to be false. Please do not think that I am saying that the resurrection is a lie, I am just saying that I doubt it.

Sure. An assumption can be a premise.
If you base a question on the illusion that you are familiar with rhetorical analysis, is it disappointing to find that you misunderstood your own terms?

Yes, the assumption is the premise, you idiot. Take a course in logic.

Nope. The argument just goes downhill when you have no evidence for the basis of it. The details are then superfluous.

Why don't you ask this in the philosophy section? Faith is not about arguments.

Sure, treat it like a formal debate and argue your point---just don't think you'll convince everyone you are right
