The resurrection was the body being moved before anyone went to the tomb.

[@davidstricklin3267]

I’ve watched Tom’s videos and read his book “New Perspective on Paul”. He seems very selective in his choice of Biblical texts support narrow views. Also, very intolerant of other perspectives which would be readily apparent from a broad reading of both New and Old Testament sources. I know he’s a renowned biblical scholar but he also seems to have some weird interpretive agenda. A lot of straw man with him. Yes, most other Christians believe in a ‘new creation’ and yes most Christians believe that Paul knew that works follow salvation.

I don't agree.

[@Venaloid]

So the resurrection of Jesus is... a metaphor for fixing his creation? Why not just fix his creation? Oh wait, let me guess, "He's getting around to it, just wait another 2,000 years lol". Yeah mom, I'm totally going to do my homework, just wait another 6-8 weeks and I'll have it finished lol. A sucker really is born every minute.

If it's your wish to be an exile forever, God will grant it.

[@williamoarlock8634]

@@bobtaylor170 More like your god's wish to exile thinking and feeling humans.

It isn't a metaphor. The historical basis of the resurrection, the act itself, is both a necessary prerequisite for God to make the world new (Jesus defeated death on the cross, and now God and His people can stand in victory against the curse of sin) *and* a fortelling of the future resurrection for all people (see 1 Thess. 5). This *was* God fixing creation, even though the whole story will be finished later, but He's not "getting around to it," He is working right now to fix it, through His people, and when the world has been prepared the whole physical creation will also be renewed. Defending the historical Jesus and his resurrection is how Christians demonstrate with evidence that God has already done what He promises to do.

@@williamoarlock8634 try to look at your comment in a momentarily disinterested way. Can you not see that it's filled with hatred of God? You demonstrate original sin.

Annoying that it's so complicated that we need a dr in theology with decades of experience and knowledge of hebrew and greek to understand it while commoners wont... Almost as if it's not a divine message from God?

[@steved5960]

Cool story bro but have listened to what he actually said?

[@say10..]

Agree. I don't need apologists to convince anyone that I exist.

[@AS-sn5gf]

takes a lot of willpower for these kinds of mental gymnastics

[@thegreatballplayer1]

I understand how it can seem like that but I have two thoughts on this as a Christian myself. These points are not related to salvation which is necessary for all people to understand. These ideas about the resurrection are just our way of trying to understand the complex message of what we might expect when we rise in the end, not everybody is going to get it and thats to be expected (I imagine even designed that way) because it’s not important to us right now. What’s important is placing faith in Jesus/God and following his teachings

what nonsense NT Wright talks . white noise.... like listening to people talk about Harry Potter at a comic con .
