The Tomb Is Empty

[Weatherman2020]

At the base of what is believed to be the hill that the crucifixion took place (Golgotha, which means Skull, was an unknown location until a chap from England in the late 19th century stood on the wall of Jerusalem and saw this:

At the base of this hill is a tomb. It’s empty, I checked.

The story of what occurred that morning bolsters the validity of the story. A woman went to the tomb while all of the men sat around whining and wondering how their messiah could have been killed. She comes back with the news of seeing him and they’re still being skeptical.

If you’re going to make up a story, you’re not going to make yourself look like a Dufus and the woman the hero, especially in 32 AD.

Thanks for this info. It will interesting to see how the atheists that post on here respond to this.

Jesus is risen!

The apostles were always shown to be doubters until they saw with their own eyes, a rhetorical ploy to bolster the claims made of holy miracles.

And what was their motive, other than each to be murdered for proclaiming their beliefs?

It was a wonderful bed time story.
About it.

The Jewish messiah was to be a man.
What man coukd rise from absolute death?
Another reason why Jesus was the fake messiah..

 

[Thunk]

After they whipped Jesus, beat Him bloody, spat on Him, humiliated Him, Stripped him naked infront of a crowd, slammed a crown of thorns into His skull, made Him carry a heavy cross beam to the place of His execution, nailed Him to it and hung Him up to suffocate to death...

Some of the last words Jesus spoke was "Father forgive them...they know not what they do".

Bluzman laughs but wont bother to counter.
How typical

I thought they were 'Why hast thou abandoned me?' which seems a bit counter-intuitive, given the narrative.

I laugh at you because it must be horrific to be a non-believer with absolutely no faith in God. I pity you more than I laugh at you because your soul must be totally empty, because of your lack of faith. Life for me is SO much more bearable BECAUSE I have a strong belief in Jesus and God. It has really helped me get through some tough times, most recently my developing diabetes about two months ago, and the utter chaos and change caused by the Chinese Virus. I pray to God several times a day for strength and guidance, and I ALWAYS feel better after doing so. Thank you.

There's nothing fake about Jesus Christ. His life was all about reconciling unbelieving men to God and also in healing the rifts between men with a love so divine he put his entire life into God's hands to endure being the Lamb of God who opened the Gates of Hell to bring lost sinners to the "Gates of Heaven. And he forgives those who are sincerely sorry for anything wrong they ever did.

I think the concept of the man made god is for some is a great thing. For the weak.
I don't need your 2000 year old ignorant desert savage make believe to make me happy. Or believe that life has meaning.
Man made religion constantly contradicts itself. You are just to weak to accept it. And that's ok.

No man could. That was the point.

I watched the Passion of Christ and it was quite difficult to watch.

Jesus was not the Jewish messiah. Weak Christians that have to cling on to something made him that way.

Thw point was that the christian messiah contradicted prophecy?

Who can say? Talking about the Gospels as if they are first-hand accounts is kind of useless. The motive of the writers was to make a compelling story to gain followers.

Anybody think the god of Islam or Christianity , religions based on Judaism are any more real than unicorns or the Loc Ness monster?
