By the way, Jesus never claimed to be the God, He said “Me and the Father are one”. And Truthfully since he received God’s holy spirit and also said “The son does nothing in his own accord but only what he sees the Father doing”. Meaning he shared God’s spirit and God’s will, meaning God’s purpose. Thats why he said “the Father was always at his work and so he also had work to do” meaning God’s work; God the father was working through his son Jesus Christ and so they were united as one. Also, It had been prophecied about the messiah before Abraham so thats also why he said “Before Abraham I was” So yeah we ought to have clear understanding of this because this becomes a stumbling rock for many people to believe in Christianity and Jesus as the messiah.

One of the things that always gets me when reading the gospels is some of the random details. Like after the resurrection, there are a number of instances where the disciples do not even recognize Jesus initially. What do you guys think is the significance of that? Was it that the disciples couldn't believe what they were witnessing?

[@equilibriums7182]

I'm sure if your loved one came back from the dead, you'd sort of question it too. Seems pretty natural to reject a resurrection, especially when there were so many witnesses to his death...that's where faith comes in.

33 And then they heard again, Adon Mashich Cumi. 34 And then the white-robed form tramped on the Roman seal and then he tore it into shreds; he took the mighty stone in hand as though it were a pebble from the brook, and cast it to the side. 35 And Jesus opened up his eyes and said, All hail the rising sun; the coming of the day of righteousness! 36 And then he folded up his burial gown, his head bands and his coverings and laid them all aside. 37 He rose, and for a moment stood beside the white-robed form. 38 The weaker soldiers fell upon the ground, and hid their faces in their hands; the stronger stood and watched. 39 They saw the body of the Nazarene transmute; they saw it chage from mortal to immortal form, and then it disappeared. 40 The soldiers heard a voice from somewhere; yea, from everywhere, it said, 41 Peace, peace on earth; good will to men.

There are hundreds of contradictions in the Bible. Not to mention over 14000 differences from the oldest full script codex Sinaiticus and a modern NIV or King James, due to interpretation and interpolation. Romans also never removed the body after crucifixion, the point of the crucifixion was the humiliation and no proper burial...

[@mjfraser04]

I think religions and holy books mess up when they claim that it is FAITH that is needed, and yet in the same conversation attempt to use evidence for believing what they believe. It quite literally is oxymoronic.

[@roadlesstraveled4111]

We are the ones who need faith , because we were not there to witness it for ourselves. John 20:29 Jesus said unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.” Hope this helps .

[@mjfraser04]

@ I don’t care what the Bible says. I don’t get my epistemological method for determining what is real and what isn’t from an ancient multi-translated book written by unknown authors in a time of scientific ignorance.
